BETWEEN THE BUCK ENDS As we gaze through the hotel register, we find that there are 551 guests registered here recovering from the heat of summer vacation. These vacationers come from many surrounding communities, different walks of life, and many varying interests and activities. This book is a diary of the guests and their adventures in their stay at Hotel B. H. S. Before you delve into the register too deeply, we feel that there are several points which need clarification. Our hotel is rather unique in that we do not call our patrons guests, but the more grotesque name of stu- dents. The managers are called principals, the clerks, teachers, the regis- trars, secretaries, and the bell hops, janitors. Another extraordinary feature is that rather than having a place to spend the evening we have a place for the students to spend the day while the teachers are attempting, to irradicate the proverb, Ignorance is bliss. The hotel in the past has proved to be very exclusive in the fact that only youths between the ages of 11 and 19 are admitted. The students stay is usually six years unless the stay is extended by the request of the hotel personnel. Every Friday afternoon the students attend a matinee performance of some popular stage show supplemented by local talent. Concerts pre sented by the band in their newly acquired uniforms and the orchestra have made the student body music lovers-at least lovers i Q Y Beside the matinee performances, the annual senior class play provides entertain- ment for the entire locality. This year the play was, The House of the Flashing Light, and was a great success. In June the audi- torium witnesses a scene of confusion at Class Night and happiness at the Commence- ment exercises. The ballroom every Friday evening at- tracts many great named bands, the most popular of them being the B. H. S. Dance Band. The most gala event of the B. H. S. Ballroom was the annual Junior reception, better known as the Junior-Senior Prom held on April 11 with dancing to the music of Bob Hartman's Orchestra. The Good Grooming Club, one of the more active junior high school clubs, was the sponsor of a Junior High School Prom held on April 29 with the B. H. S. Dance Band pro- viding the music. This was a new venture but proved to be a success due to the efforts of the club. The ballroom can easily be converted into a basketball, volleyball, or indoor tennis court which attracts the many athletic-mind- ed students. The Gym Exhibition held on 9 March 25 and 28 filled the gym to capacity, with the students presenting a superb per- formance. You have probably concluded that the major part of the time is occupied by enter- tainment rather than Uprancing up the flow- ery path of knowledge Cwhich is found to be infested with many thornsj. We wish to assure that this is false. You have but to eavesdrop at any door of the hotel when an English class is in session to hear something like this hurled at a highly-dazed group: The student was severely reprimanded by the disciplinarian for his contumacious mis- demeanor. If you can manage to stagger away under the heavy burden of words you might learn that the centrifugal force of a rotating object is directly proportional to the mass, or weight, of the object and to the square of the speed, and is inversely propor- tional to the radius of rotation. These are only few examples of what a student must try to grasp in a typical day. We sincerely hope that this has been beneficial to you, the reader, and that it may have cleared up any questions which may have arisen concerning .... Hotel B.. H. S.
