Elma gwater In the southern end of Jersey There's a quaint old-fashioned town, With its classic halls of learning That have won it great renown. Chorus : Alma Mater, Alma Mater The school we love the best, May thy colors ever lead us And proudly wave from shore to shore Then to thee a cheer we'll render, Bridgeton High, forevermoreg Then to thee a cheer we'll render, Bridgeton High, forevermore. On the field and in the classroom, True thy sons will ever be, That thy fame may stand unblemished Through the years of history. To thy name there will be glory, When our task for thee is done For Maroon and White has led us In the contests that wetve won.

Qgrilml Ceremonies September 4, 1935 The Opening of School Bridgeton High School opened its doors to give the seniors one more chance to show what they could do. November 16, 1935 The Bridgeton-Millville Football Game This last year has been a red letter year for marriages, airplane crashes, and all sorts of events, including football games. Bridgeton High's football team played the spectacular and beat Millfuille. Mr. Robbins was right about the law of averages. Where-at Bridgeton. How-by exercising its skill and intelligence. The score-18 to 7. The result-a general celebration by the whole town. Even the grocery store proprietors ran out on the pavement and left their customers waiting for their bread, sausages, or beans, in order to watch the hilarious students in long chains winding through town. November 18-December 5, 1935 Art Appreciation Week The art department set aside seventeen days to educate us in an appreciation of the Works of old masters. This was one instance in which We did not demur at the proffered lesson, for We got out of an English period and enjoyed looking at the colored reproductions of famous paint- ings which were exhibited in the library. A program in which the grade school and the high school pupils took part was presented in the audi- torium. The admission was ten cents but this didn't keep people away, and a sufficient sum was realized to make possible the purchase of many pictures similar to the ones on exhibit. January 2, 1936 Hockey-Football Banquet The P. T. A. gave a party for the hockey and football squads. This was one occasion when we all wished we had been blessed with athletic prowess. Everyone reported a delicious dinner and a good time. The music was furnished by the Village Band. The party started at 6.30 p. m. and ended at 11.30. A great many from the student body at- tended the dance. April 27, 1936 The Fashion Show Another fashion show was held in which the Domestic Science girls displayed the colorful products of their capable fingers. April 30, 1936 The Junior-Senior Reception It Was the seniors' turn to take it easy and observe the gala en- tertainment prepared especially for them. The music was inspiring, the dancing grand, and the gowns as beautiful as ever. This was another good time in high school to be remembered. May 22, 1936 The Senior Party The seniors did their own feting this time and reaped an abundant harvest from their labor. It was a grand climax to four years of work, play, and a lot of things that make up school life.
