TEACHER TRAINING The Teacher Training Class observed and practised in Rural Schools for two weeks commencing May 8. Four of the girls, supervised by Miss Wagg, were in the Algiers School, four in the Putney Road School, supervised by Mr. Caverly, and four in District No. 7, supervised by Miss Wellman. The girls felt that they gained a great deal from this practice since they will nearly all teach in rural schools next year. SCHOOL EXHIBITION A novel way of interesting outsiders in the work of the school and of demonstrat- ing to those already interested what is be- ing accomplished was introduced this year in the form of a school exhibition. This was held on April 22. It took the place of regular class work and was held in the af- ternoon and evening. The French Room was one of the most attractive, with many post cards and gifts received from French correspon- dents. In the classes reports on outside reading and French correspondence were given and in some classes sections from recently studied plays were dramatized. In almost all of the other classes regular recitations were carried on. The physics class gave some very interesting demonstra- tions of sound, which they were studying at that time. Miss Henshaw's two upper classes made some geometrical drawings which were on display. Many guests were present, both parents and prospective students, and the exhibi- tion was proved a success. It not only gave the parents and friends of the pupils an op- portunity to see them at actual work, but it gave the next year's freshmen a general conception of High School life and class methods. The tal ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS There have been some very interesting programs in assembly this term, given by different departments. The American History Class had charge of the assembly in commemoration of the centenary of Grant. The members of the Relief Corps and Grand Army attended in a body. The program included songs by the class, solos, and sketches of the life of Grant. After this the entire school rose and sang The Star .Spangled Banner, while the guests filed out. The commercial classes' gave an interest- ing program in assembly. By means of a dramatization they portrayed an ideal office day, with modern methods of salesmanship and application for a position. The furnishing and servant problem of a modern home was demonstrated in a very interesting and amusing way by the mem- bers of the Household Management Class. Miss Tucker's Social Science Depart- ment gave a very comprehensive program on current events and their importance to the individual. It was announced that a current events test would be given to the whole school some time in the near future. The most important of recent events were reported on by pupils from different classes of all four years. Instances were given showing the deplorable lack of knowledge about important events in present world history and how they could be overcome by a few minutes' reading from some of the best papers and magazines, every day. The program given by the French classes contained a reading from the scriptures in French, proverbs by members of French IA, and several groups of French songs by the different classes, including the 7th and Sthi grades. Several pupils read se- lections from letters that they had received from French correspondents, in order to give the school an idea of the great interest and value of this correspondence. SOPHOMORE SENIOR PARTY On May 20 the sophomores gave a dance in Odd Fellow's Temple, with the seniors as their guests. The hall was attractively decorated in red with a large red '22 sus- pended in the center of the room. Each senior was presented with a white carna- tion, which carried out the scheme of the class colors, red and white. There were several novelty dances on the program and an elimination dance. Boxes of chocolates were presented to the winners of a spot dance. Snow's orchestra furnished music. The chaperons were: Miss Henshaw and Miss Osgood of the faculty, and Mr. and Mrs. Will B. Smith and Mrs, Russell, Q1 representing the parents. To these chap- erons and the committee on arrangements, consisting of Dorothea Vanderveer, john Russell, and Charles Crosby, the seniors wish to express their gratitude and thanks. DIAL PICNIC The 1922 and 1923 DIAL Boards went on a picnic to Spofford Lake on May 16. The committee was very fortunate in securing cars for transportation and the use of Simonds' cottage and several boats at the lake. Everyone enjoyed himself until supper was served. This consisted of hot dogs, cooked over an open fire, sand- wiches, olives, cold drinks, ice cream, and cake. The refreshments were a success, as well as the rest of the party, for some said that they had never liked hot dogs be- fore! After the last of the ice cream had dis- appeared the Dialers gathered about the fire to sing and cheer. Some of the mem- bers of last year's board gave impromptu speeches and Miss Monroe spoke in appre- ciation of the year's Work. After each member of both boards had been cheered and the committee had been fittingly thanked the party broke up and the pic- ,nickers returned home to study or to sleep, as their consciences dictated. TI-IE SOCIAL WHIRL. Mr. Page's classes held a kids party in the High School Building May 26. All the guests came in kids clothes. Little chil- drens' games were played, hunting for peanuts, going in and out the windows, etc., created much amusement. Prizes were given to the winners in the games, and re- freshments of ice cream cones and ani- mal cookies were served. Mr. Page's American History Class took their second historical', trip on May 22. They went to Bennington by truck. This trip was taken in order that the class might visit some of the historical places in the old town. The class was greatly benefited by this trip and at the same time they had an enjoyable day. Miss Monroe's third period sophomore English Class invited the rest of the Eng- lish Clubs to a picnic at Camp Comfort on May 26. A victrola was taken along and dancing on the porch was enjoyed. Each member took a basket lunch. On Wednesday afternoon, May 24, the Teacher Training Class enjoyed a picnic at Broad Brook. A very exciting ball game took place after which they had a fine sup- per. About twenty-five members of the Busi- ness Practice Club went on the picnic which took place May 23 at Forest Lake. Six cars were ready to carry the members and provisions to the lake. When every-

QQ one was there games were played and the boats were used, proving a good source of amusement. Some of the members also showed their skill in swimming. The picnic lunch prepared by the mem- bers of the committee was served in the grove. Everyone considered the picnic a success, due to the hearty co-operation of the committee and the two teachers, Miss Glazier and 'Miss Jette. Still another picnic was enjoyed by the members of the Cercle Francais in Bige- low Pastures on June 5. After the supper of hot dogs, bacon, drinks, and lollipops had been thoroughly digested, games were played, songs were sung, and a few en- dulged in the gentle sport of wading. Several other classes have also had picnics. Miss Brown,s sophomore French class held one at Forest Lake, while Miss Moore's sophomore English class had one at Broad Brook. B. H. S. has been blessed with a large number of picnics this spring, yet in spite of the large number, each one has been thoroughly enjoyed by those present. ff 0 I J at Our Idea of Nothing at All.
