this fff In Memoriam fi CLAUDE WILLIAM LOPER August 18 1934 September 19 1951 f JA! SAMUEL LEE xm.LY X March a 1934 J Iune 10 1951 THANATOPSIS Yet not to thine eternal resting place Shalt thou retire alone nor couldst thou wish Couch more magnificent Thou shalt lie down Wlth patriarchs ot the infant world with kings The powerful ot the earth the wise the good Fair forms and hoary seers of ages past All in one mighty sepulcher. So live that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moves To that mysterious realm where each. shall take His chamber in the silent halls ot death Thou go not like the quarry-slave at night Scourged to his dungeon but sustained and soothed By cm untaltering trust approach thy grave Like one who Wraps the drapery of his couch About him and lies down to pleasant dreams. By William Cullen Bryant

COl1l18I1tS The students return to BHS filled with en thusiasm after vacation The trees are beautiful in their autumn colors and help to ci hieve perfect football season atmosphere The campus of the school is lovelier than ever during this bright warm season of the year Behind the school the grove of trees is pretty enough to make the students enioy going out to classes in the shacks In front of the school the War Memorial of which we are so proud assumes added beauty through the contrast with the fall foliage Mother Nature utilizes her many charms to transfigure the earth into a crystal ball Bridgeton High School looks its regal best with the surrounding campus covered by a blanket of snow Winter activities take the spotlight Basketball captures the attention of all The swish of the ball through the hoop inspires the cheers of the crowds and we know that wintcr has surely come The most beautiful season! Fresh green buds on growing things announce the great awakening and leave a promise of things to come. The student finds his mind un ooperative at this time of year. He finds hi'nself gazing out the window inst ad of studying algebra. Spring brings the end and th- beginning-the end of a memorable school year but the beginning of an exciting vacation. fvifffgie E Z
