Mr. Roy R. Kay Vice-Principal AFTER successfully traveling through high school you will he con-l fronted with the problem of deciding which way you are going when you start on your new journey. On this new and longer journey of life there arc two types of human beings. There are those who drift, taking what seems the easiest way, and those who choose their own direction. fighting against the current, choosing the harder way of struggle that leads to success. Don’t be a drifter. Select your objective and go in that direction no matter how strong the opposing current. Once you are headed ir the right direction all that is necessary is to geep going. Roy R. Kay

To accomplish these ends, the B.H.S. association maintains a student loan fund and assists the school in every possible way. The welfare work of our high school is surprisingly large and varied. We have a loan library for pupils who are not able to buy textbooks. We also furnish such pupils notebooks, car fare, meal tickets, and even clothing. We were fortunate this year in securing the concession at Eagle Field, where, through unselfish effort, our members realized enough profit to carry on the welfare work for the year. Among other activities is the Senior Dance, sponsored by the P.T.A. and the Senior Class. The Honor Banquet, one of the most important social events of the school, was given in May. A'l students who had gained recognition in scholarship, leadership, or athletics were the guests. P.T.A. activity, however, is not all work. We have an interesting and instructive talk at each meeting and a pleasant half hour of recreation and refreshments following each program which brings about fellowship and better un-derstanding between teachers and parents.
