G52 sfilq M -M ll-ficzff W 4 THE . . . HE carefree days of summer end- ed all too soon, and, golden tans beginning to fade, we of the Class of '44 entered the gym for our last reg- istration day. Feeling superior to the baffled sophomores but nevertheless having to go through the same age-old ritual of filling out pink slips, getting textbooks, and signing up for lockers, we embarked upon the last stage of our years of fun and education in the halls of BHS. We recognized old friends, noticed that last yearfs ninth grade had blossomed into a very sophisticated sophomore class Ca fact which clouded the bright faces of the Senior girls for a momentj and made the acquaintance of new classmates and teachers. Miss Wangler, we learned, had joined us in order to disclose the mysteries of shorthand and typing. Mr. Hong, who had visited us several times the previous year, had come to stay with the job of acquainting BHS students with his pa- tria, China, by means of a lecture course on the subject. Mr. Perdew, who had been absent the past year for a visit to Washington, had returned to take up his post as teacher of history and news- writing and faculty adviser to the Mirror. It didn't take long for us to become accustomed again to the familiar rou- tine. The football and soccer teams got under way, and Miss Tyler began round- ing up her soccer and badminton-play- ing females. We said farewell to sum- mer with an assembly in which stu- dents told of their vacation experiences, and turned our faces toward the school year with the opening of the G. A. drive Page six YEAH IN PIETHIISPEUT under the efficient direction of Ned Con- way. Miss Greene's advisory was the first to achieve 100 percent membership and received the much coveted G. A. banner. With care and deliberation we select- ed our Student Council representatives, who met for the first time under the new president, George Davis. They chose Shirley McKay as secretary, and re- ceived a report from the head of the social committee, Jim Ashbrook. The social committee was better or- ganized than ever before, with repre- sentatives from the faculty, the P. T. A., the Board of Education, and the Wo- men's club working with student dele- gates. The committee recognized the heartbreaking fact that the girls out- numbered the boys even more than in previous years, and its goal was to give everyone, the surplus female population included, an adequate and enjoyable so- cial program. So instead of the usual welcome dance, separate class parties were planned, beginning with the Sen- iors' traditional Class Sing. We all gathered on the lawn of Don Bliss' home to produce some mass singing of popu- lar and college songs. Several groups of solid senders gave renditions of old and new tunes, and cider and doughnuts were served to all. Next arose the problem of choosing our class officers.
