B. H. S. NEWS REPORTER BROADCASTS EVENTS OF FIRST THREE YEARS This is your friendly, family station, WBHS, broadcasting from Bridgeton High School, B1-idgeton, New Jersey. You have just been listening to the orchestra playing Veni, Veni , one of 1937's top tunes. Immediately after the next number, which will be Isle of Capri , a hit tune of 1934, your B. H. S. news reporter will bring you the highlights of the graduating class's past three years in high school. Hello, everybody. Many events of these past three years stand out clearly in the minds of the senior class. No senior will ever forget that day of all days when he walked timidly past the unfamiliar portals of B. H. S. and was directed to the elevator by a grinning upper-classman. In a few days the newcomers accustomed themselves to the routine and settled down to work. First, there was the organization of the class. Officers were elected and Miss Trewin, their class adviser, was introduced to them. Then the term, class adviser, meant very little but since then it has come to mean very much through Miss Trewin. The freshman Hallo'we'en party was the first class party. A few tried out the danc- ing they had ibeen practicing at Souder's for many weeks: while others played games or watched the whirling dancers with envious eyes. The freshman class was always well represented at the football and hockey games and they cheered lustily for their team. The season was an unlucky one for Bridgeton in that both the hockey and football teams lost most of their games. The Millville football game was easily the most thrilling of the year. Neither team scored until the last quarter when Millville finally broke through Bridgeton's strong defense to score two touchdowns. Weeks slipped by unnoticed, then the freshmen, no longer timid, but self-assured, had their lirst taste ot' mid- year exams and unanimously agreed that they should be listed under Things We Can Do Without . Tiger House , the Dramatic Club presentation of the year. next loomed large on the horizon. The class of '38 was represented here by the leading lady, Lucille Schrank, while the rest chilled and thrilled at this eerie mystery. The basketball season was somewhat more successful than either the football or hockey season had been. Still, Bzridgeton was again the loser and the freshmen on the bench longed eagerly for the time when they could play for their Alma Mater. Time passed, as time will, and spring came, bringing with it visions of vacation and the Fashion Show when the girls had the opportunity to display their skill in sew- ing before their friends and relatives. Next, the Student Council party, that last grand frolic of the year, and then, glorious free- dom for two whole months, and for me, a short rest while the orchestra plays The Music Goes 'Round and 'Roundf' the hit tune of 1935, after which I'll be back with more highlights from the sophomore year of the class of '38. You have heard the selection, The Mu- sic Goes 'Round and 'Round , and here is your B. H. S. news reporter with interest- ing news, odd news, exclusive news. In the fall of '35, the sophomore class returned to the familiar halls of good old B. H. S. to perpetrate their own jokes on the unsuspecting freshmen. Although it was the same well-known school, there were many new additions. For one, B. H. S. was now the proud possessor of a school paper, The Bridgeton High Echo . In former years there had been a school paper, The Maroon and White but that had died a natural death some years ago and the Echo was an entirely new establishment. The venture was successful and it is now an institution of the school. There were seven new teach- ers, too, Miss Borton, the librarian: Miss Loder, an English teacher: Miss Lupton and Miss Whittaker, commercial teachersg Miss Temperton, a mathematics teacherg Mrs. Burnett, a gym instructor: and Mr. Kuhn, a history teacher. The band was entirely reorganized by Mr. Kuhn and is now also an indispensible part of the school. The football -season was a suc- cessful one this year with six wins, one tie, and 'three losses. One of these winning games was the one with Millville, in which one of our arch rivals was mowed down, leaving only Vineland and Collingswood yet to be beaten another year. This was one of those tie seasons for the hockey team as they tied four out of nine games. At the end of the season, the hockey and football teams were feted at a banquet and dance. The food was excellent, the toasts inter- esting and a good time was had by all who attended. Time rolled on to the date of the sophomore party. The cafeteria was gaily decorated in Christmas greens with a huge, glittering Christmas tree in the center. The evening was passed in dancing and the gala crowd made good use of the excellent
