1936 To you, our parents, we owe our deepest gratitude. We know you have sacrificed to give us the privileges we have enjoyed and now that graduation time has come we are justly proud of you and we believe you are of us. We hope in the years ahead to be able to prove to you that your sacrifices, as well as your hopes and aspirations for us were not in vain. To you, our teachers, we regret that the time has come for us to sa “Good-Bye.” Our fellowship has been enjoyable and we know that your inspiration and the lessons you have taught us will go throughout life. Classmates, we have come to the parting of the way. No longer will we go as a group, but as individuals. Whatever field we may choose, let us not forget to hold high the ideals of our dear B. H. S.

The High School Glee Club, open to any pupil who desires to enter, is one of the outstanding organizations of our school. From fall to spring, Glee Club presents many activities in which all of the members take an active part. There are various groups of duets, trios, quartettes, and sextettes selected from the chorus. These groups sing at different places during the year, and sometimes travel with the Miami Urban Entertainers. Selected members of the chorus go to the County Music Festival. Often a few get a chance to go to the State Music Festival. Throughout the school year, the Glee Club sings in chapel at different times. The separate Boys’ and Girls’ Choruses also sing once or twice. The High School Music Department, of which the Glee Club plays an important role, also presents the yearly Operetta and Minstrel. ’’Trial by Jury” This operetta was enacted by the High School Glee Club, 1935. The story concerns a lovely young plaintiff, Patty Lou Wonner, who is suing the defendant, Philip Albright, for breach-of-promise. The Judge, Harold Paul Katherman, is ushered in by Omer Rasor. He calls for silence and then the plaintiff is brought in. She enters with her bridesmaids, Eileen Smith, Catherine Crowel, Betty Jane Robertson, Emily Wise, Lorraine Minnich, Mary Ellen Minnich, and Eugenia Colliflower. The defendant tells his side of the story, but is completely over-powered by the plaintiff’s counsel. Mary E. Marker. Her valiant efforts almost convince the jury, especially the Foreman, Dwain Cain, that the defendant is a cruel man and the plaintiff a lovely, wronged, heart-broken girl. But the fight goes on and finally the be-fuddled and bewildered Judge caps the climax by telling them all to go home, for he will marry the beautiful plaintiff himself. Every day that is born into this world comes like a burst of music, and rings itself all the day through, and thou shalt make it a dance, a dirge, or a life march, have thou wilt. —Thomas Carlyle — 23 —
