SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS WITH ACTIVITY On September 8, 1937 the seniors returned a liittle sadly to the halls of B. H. S. There were only a few changes in the well-known order of things. Mrs. Nisch- witz and Mr. Hitchner had left the fac- ulty and had been replaced by Miss Elizabeth Mayhew and Miss Doris Hann. Miss Mar- garet Borton went to take charge of the library in the Teachers' College at Glassboro and Miss Florence Rauch resumed her duties here. Mrs. Schneider took over the direction of the orchestra., while Mrs. Balrbirnie replaced Mrs. Nischwitz as director of t-he Glee Clulb. The Athletic Association was reorganized with 558 members. A council of ten teachers and five pupils was instituted, The officers elected were: Mr. Rex Bowen, presidentg Mildred Mac- Pherson, secretaryg and Mr. C. Preston Sel- lers, treasurer. New amplifiers were added to the auditorium to strengthen the accoustics. New heads of departments were appointed. Mr. Gilbson was made head of the Industrial Arts Department, Miss Davis, head of the Health Department as well as the girls' Physi- cal Education, Mr. Rensch, head of the His- tory Delpartmentg and Mr. Mulford, head of the Science Department. Word was received that the Baconian of '37 had been awarded second rating in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. The senior class was the smallest class in the school with only 267 members. The freshman class was the largest with 475, and the sophomores and juniors were about equal with 344 and 346 respectively. Very soon, the footlball and hockey season rolled around with its thrilling and colorful events, With the games to look forward to every week, time slipped by, and only too soon came the end of the season, heralded by the Barn Dance given for the A. A. mem- bers. A large percentage of the membership appeared at 'the dance dressed as farmers and farmerettes. The gym was decorated with cornstalks, clotheslines, and livestock. Vari- ous novelty numlbers helped make the eve- ning a howling success. And so, fall, with its color and excite- ment, passed, the last fall for the senior class in Bridgeton High School.

. . - TIME Time is as feather footed as the snowg So light he treads we never hear him go, Save when we list the c1ook's untlrlng Tbeat Marking the swift iamlblcs of his feet. I -Clinton Scollard OH WORLD Oh world, 'thou choosest not the better part! It is not wisdom to be only wise, And on the innward vision close the eyes, But it is' wisdom to believe the heart. Columbus found a world, and had no chart, Save one thatlzjaith decxiphered in the skies,' To trust the soul's infvincifble surmise Was all hfls science and his only art. Our knowledge is a. torch of smokey pine That lights the'pa,thwa.y but one step ahead Across a. voidof mystery and dread. Bid, then, the tender light of faith to shine By whichuglone the mortal heart is led Unto the lnkmg of the thought divine. --GEORJG-E S-ANTAYAN A We all are 'blind until we see That in the human plan Nothing is worth the masking if t, It does not make the man. Why build these cities glorious If man unbuilded goes? In vain we build the world, unless The builder allso grows, -Edwin Markham A man may prophesy, With a. near aim, of the main chance of things As yet not come to life, which in their seeds And weak beginnings lie intreasured. Such things become the notch and ltr:-ood of time. SHAKESPEARE-KING HENRY IV . ,...u. J he s a i ,wi 9 M4 1? J i -ff .t 41 hilufgbe ji I'
