Student Council The Student Council started quite a few years ago with just a committee of students who discussed the problems of the school with the teachers. It has been progressing ever since, and now an elected group of students meet twice a month without the supervision of a teacher to thrash out all of these B.H.S. problems. The Advisor this year is Mr. Peterson and the officers are: President, Joan Guthrie; Vice President, Anna Muscott; Secretary, Lois Greening; and Treasurer, Vemelda Good. Student Teachers, Sale of War Stamps and Bonds, Air Raid Wardens, Assembly programs, dances and other committees are all under the supervision of the Student Council. lee (21 ul The Glee Club was divided into two groups.

The paper, under the editorship of Wayne Busch and his staff was pre- sented as a bi-monthly issue of popular features all year. At the beginning of the year a small amount of ten cents was tajcen from class treasurers for each person in the class; this would allow everyone to get a paper. Others on the staff were: Assistant Editor—Norma Sherwood, Art Editor--Gloria Capen, Feature Editor--Carol McCallum, Sports Editor--Charles Corbett, Exchange Editor--Wanda Randall, and Typists—Virgil Nelson, Anna Louise Bassette, Norma Sherwood, Marjorie Cates, and Grace French. The remainder of the American Lit. Class were reporters. Miss Lucille Barnes and Mrs. Ivah Baldwin were the advisors of the group. fluilic Cpealinq A public speaking class was organized under the leadership of Mr. Peterson this year.

Copk omotei Forty-two students entered high school September 8 to be enrolled as sophomores. The annual tug-of-war was lost by both boys and girls teams to the freshman class. Our most im- portant event of the year was the party we gave the freshmen in September. Officers for this year were as follows: President, Bob Gallagher; Vice President .John Poindexter; Secretary, Norma Bissell; Treasurer, Harold Brennan; Advisor, Mr. Stephens. 'Tre hmen We are the class known as freshmen. There were fifty-nine of us entering your halls excited but shy about doing it. Our first step toward getting acquainted was when we defeated the sophomore boys and girls in the annual homecoming tug-of-war. That evening we attended our first high school party in our honor by the sophomores. After being here awhile we became accustomed to the ways and ideas of our upperclassmen so we stepped forward with a class play given at an assembly directed by Mrs. Clark. Our class officers were chosen to lead the class with Purle Good as President; Bob Bolt, Vice President; Lois Wittig, Secretary; Jim Lewis, Treasurer; Lyle Gallagher, Student Council Representative and Advisor, Mr. Patterson.
