The senior high'school department, grades ten, eleven and twelve, holds forth on the second floor of both old and new parts of the building. The now addition, on the first floor ha3 a complete layout, for hone economics, and shops which are in the main junior high school departments. The fact that the home economics department is located just across tho corridor from the large stage-gymnasium which is eighty-four feet long by fifty feet wide, makes possible the serving of large banquots with the least amount of trouble and expense. In connection with the home economics layout, mention should also be mado that fche sewing room was made large enough that it is used as a cafeteria or lunch room for fifty or more seated at one time. Other provisions on this floor are: one largo classroom, a storeroom and offices, the auditorium with four hundred seats, and gymnasium together with dressing room facilities. In the old portion of the building on this floor is found six classrooms togethor with a conference room and a small reading or library room for tho junior high department. The old gymnasium and adjoining rooms and showers serve for physical education, spocial programs and activities. On the second floor of tho new addition'is a splendid layout for the commercial department, one largo classroom, a principal’s office and the balcony of tho auditorium with space for two hundred and fifty or more seats. ' T nQKJi� T b o PLANS FOR ORGANIZATION AND BUILDINGS OF THE BROKEN BOW SCHOOLS On the second floor of the old high school building, is found a spacious library-study room, librarians work room, conference or group study room and one large classroom. On this floor also is found the science laboratories layout. Two large laboratories, one equipped for physics and chemistry, the other for biology and elementary sciences —interconnected by two store rooms and a dark room. Provision for science teaching has been made very satisfactory and at the same time so arranged that the rooms may be used for other purposes This is far better than exists so many times where the laboratory is used one or two periods of each day and at other times stands idle or vacant. North .of the main entrance to the school building And auditorium on both floors are the classrooms, small office and’library .rooms for the kindergarten and six elementary grades. A sm3li community kitchen is provided In connection with the kindergarten room. The new building on the south side of town provides identically as above for the kindergarten and six elementary grades. BROKEN 1. C. W, Lehman, Supt. 2. H. V, Taylor, Prin, 3. Mario Baker 4.

J U N I OR CLASS Although some can hardly believe it, this Junior class was once a freshman class. The proof lies in the records, and the records show that for our freshman year Leo Atkisson- was elected President. He made his letter that year by playing in the Ansley game. Florence Price was Vice President, and Herbert Steele our Secretary-Treasurer. Sponsoring through that very green year were Miss Dean and Mr. Wendorff. Most of us wandered back to school to take over the meager responsibilities of sophomores. For that year Harvard Lomax was our President, Paul Robinson our Vice President, and Clifford Bomberger our Secretary-Treasurer. That is the year we remember. It was then we hoard the first news about a new school building. It was then that we had our very good basketball year and our very bad football year. Our sponsors were Mr. Sterner and Miss Culbertson. Well, here we are again. Still creeping along a grade higher, somewhat wiser, a bit taller, and a little more hopeless in the eyes of our parents. We chose Wilber Cox for our President, James Atkisson our Vice President, and Harry Richardson for our Secretary-Treasurer. Our sponsors are Mr. Wells and Miss Schluckebier. As'Juniors, our first activity was a picnic One car, as is usual, got twisted in directions and did not arrive until late. Our second party was held in the recreation room at the city hall It was a success. Our class has been represented In many school activities, such as band, orchestra,, football, basketball, glee club and the like 0u� play the first class play to to given in the now build ing, went over well and we can promise the seniors a good timo at the on coming Junior-Senior banquet.

However, a determined, cooperative, hard fighting group of boys turned out and things brightened some. With a nine-game schedule before them. Coach and the boys buckled into their traces and pulled together. As a result they won the first game against Arcadia; and although they did not win another game all season, no one complained, for the team never gave up until the final whistle had blown. Even though the record doesn't look too impressive, every boy on the squad worked for the good of the school, coach, and his teammates . At the end of the year Gale Neiswanger was elected honorary captain; he was also placed on Gregg McBride's State Honor Roll. The outlook for next fall is very bright, since only seven of the twenty-three lettermen . will be lost. Five of these are Seniors; James Arnold, Y ayne Beckman, Robert Leui, Claris Smith, and Gale Neiswanger. The other two are; Milo Fenner, who suffered a broken collar bone in the Ord game and will not see any more service, and Richard Simonson, who has dropped from school. bcw; P 50TBALL LETTER MEN Herbert Steele .

To these Coach Stanley Johnson added six second team lettermen—Dillard Fox, Robert Jones, Lloyd Farmer, Charles Gardner, Morris Hatch, and Herbert Steele. With these ten men. Coach Johnson built a strong; ambitious team, working for the good of the team, not of an individual. The team played outstanding ball all season, but sicknesses, injuries, and ineligibility held it back at various times throughout the year. Brokon Bov entered a pre-season tournament at Mason City and came out in third place. This was merely a practice tournament to give the coaches an idea of their material. In the County Tournament at Merna, Broken Bow was eliminated in the first round by Comstock 32-22. In the District Tournament at Lexington, the Indians met Cozad, an undofoated team, and lost by the largest margin of the season 40-17. During the entire season Broken Bow outscored their opponents 423—408, At the end of the year, James Arnold was elected Captain and Claris Smith was placed on Gregg McBride’s honorable mention list. i ! : 0 ■ : i f . •� n tr.j tj njTJTrLhJi.n_ BASKETBALL SCORES � ?7 , t14 tS 7 t tP7 Callaway.• .34 f T A . - XT • Mas on .22 North Platte....
