INITIATION On Friday, October fifth, B. H. S. thought it had turned back the ages to the time of cave men as the FLINTSTONE MOTHERS came in wearing potato sack dresses two inches above their knees carrying a diaper bag also made of potato sack. The boys found out later they were also carrying a thirty-seven inch club. They had a large bone in their hair, bone necklaces, bracelets, and anklets. No shoes were allowed inside the school, but outside they could wear thongs. On their backs was a sign printed in two inch letters, FLINTSTONE MOTHERS. The boys created a real riot. They wore their shorts with diapers overtop, fastened with large safety pins. On their bibs was written BEDROCK BABES, and on their heads they wore bonnets with a four inch brim, tied with a twelve inch pink bow. They carried real baby bottles, soothers, and doll with a diaper and bonnet. This was really a sight but everyone agreed they were rather cute. In the afternoon, the initiates went downtown, and we are sure that every¬ one remembers the Christmas Carols, twisting exhibitions, free toilet paper and chalked footprints on the sidewalks. All were rewarded in the evening when the Initiates, their parents and everyone else were entertained by the rest of the students. The program con¬ sisted of two plays, two solos, two duets, a piano solo, and accordian solo, and Grade X girl ' s group singing. Then the M. C. presented gifts to the best dressed Initiated. These were Laurie Listrom and Edwin Loseth. Lunch was served by Grade XI and Grade XII girls. After lunch a dance was started and followed by Everyone Dance . The band played Home Sweet Home at 1:30 and everyone went home after a very enjoyable evening. B.H.S. PARTY Grade XI honored the rest of the school by making our first party of the year a real success. Beginning at eight there was dancing until 11: 00 when a lunch of soft drinks, doughnuts, and jambusters was served. Dancing was resumed until twelve-thirty. Then Grade XI had the task of cleaning up. Every¬ one had a good time and went home happy after an evening of good fun. CAROL FESTIVAL On Tuesday, December 18, 1962 the B. H. S. auditorium was filled to capacity when the school and various church choirs presented the annual Carol Festival. Mr. Hariri was the master of ceremonies. Everyone enjoyed the pageant by Graves VII and VIII directed by Miss Cope, who once again did a wonder¬ ful job of making the evening a success. The com¬ munity singing was one of the highlights of the evening as everyone joined in singing them. The duets, solos, and choir items were enjoyed by all and everyone left in a Christmas mood.

CHRISTMAS PARTY The Christmas party was conducted by the Grade XB students. Grade XB spent most of their time during the week decorating the gym, stage and the lovely big tree. With what time that was left they practised for the program which was put on in the afternoon of December 21 commencing at 1:30. There were five items on the program, 1) a food relay game (all the teachers remember this game) 2) a one act play called Sixteen 3) another play 4) an advertisement game Then came good old St. Nick with his annual kiss for Mrs. Drake. Finally the moment everyone had been waiting for; the gifts were given out. We honored with the presence of Mrs. Pinter and Can- dus, who didn ' t appreciate Santa Claus. The after¬ noon was a tremendous success. HIGH SCHOOL PARTY Friday, February 2 was the scene of another monthly party put on by Grade XA. Even though it was a very stormy night we still had a fair turnout. Grade XA had novelty dances and many fine records to dance to and enjoy. At eleven lunch was served to hungry dancers and then dancing was started until twelve fifteen when the party broke up and everyone went out into the blizzard again. Unit Bryant Oratory Finals The Unit eliminations for the Bryant Oratory Contest were held in the Broadview High School Auditorium on the evening of January 29. Contestants from Broadview were Alice Szakacs, who spoke on The Price of a Happy Life and Judy Pope, who spoke on Beethoven . Edward Hall of iVhitewood who spoke on Fidel Castro was placed first and Alice Szakacs was placed second. EDUCATION DAY Broadview School observed Education Day this year on Thursday March 7. The highlight of the day was the exhibition in the lab. A Ping-Pong Tourna¬ ment and films helped to make the parents visit enjoyable. VARIETY NIGHT For a month before the Big Night Mrs. Drake and Mr. O ' Kane had students practising plays, songs, and other acts. We did not mind though. As the big night drew nearer, even school and evening practices were called for (as the girls in the singing item soon found out). Then on Thursday, March 21 in the afternoon the first performance of B. H. S. on Stage was presented to Grades 1 to 6, who were a very appreciative
