Their school spirit is famous. They experience the exotic pleasure of thumping a Well-inked stamp on a card. But librarians do something besides stamp cards-at least these librarians do. They have held parties with lavish refreshments, and were sponsors at a dance after one of the basketball games. Miss Cernahan directs the activities of the club and supplies the orders for new books. The ofhc- ers of the club are: Marion Blake, presidentg Jac- queline Bilotti, vice presidentg Helen Mary Sachs, treasurerg Evelyn Benak, secretaryg Miss Cerna- han, sponsor.

ffm cz 015---music ana! cfcuzcin -- Ever since the first successful af- ter-a-game party in the early fall of '39, we have had a capacity attend- ance at our high school dances. These gala affairs are planned and sponsored by the various classes and organizations. The music is furnished by B. H. S.'s own jazz orchestrag while the laughter and gayety are furnished by the students. In the dimly lighted gym truckin', shagging, is still in vogue for some of the younger gen- erationg while others are satisfied with the waltz and good old Charles- ton. As the clock strikes twelve, the students lingeringly leave the little red school house asking, Wonder when the next dance will be ? at B. G54 .5 fzcvzfiai JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM 1939 June second, the date of the most looked-for social function of the year, at last was here. Af- ter weeks of planning and days of work the juniors now could enjoy the fruits of their labors. The guests arrived and after checking their wraps were cordially greeted by Bill Ednie and Marian Hansen, who acted as host and hostess. A setting of palm and bamboo trees and foam of the waves created an illusion of tropical Hawaii, and the colorful leis and dresses and the gayety of the dancers under a huge yellow moon gliding to the suave music of Maestro Bud Simp- son added to the illusion. After the grand march, which was led by Bill Ednie and Marian Hansen, delicious punch and wafers were servedg and the dancing continued until twelve. Without a doubt the Prom of '39 Was, to the class of '40 at least, the best ever held at B. H. S. Twenty-S

'mcg 1939 The Buchanan track team had a poor season last year, but prospects seem a little brighter for spring since several lettermen are returning. The first meet was a triangular one with Dowagiac and Niles in which we made 24 points but came in last. An- other triangular meet, this time with St. Joe and State High followed, and in this, too, we were defeated, get- ting only 22 points. Next we were badly beaten in a dual meet with Niles and then we were iifth in a field of six schools at Dowagiac, get- ting 12 points. In the regional at Kalamazoo we got 9 points, and af- ter qualifying there, Bob Hamilton got third place in the state 440. 'E Cfuli The B Club opened its official business of 1939-'40 with Mike Rot- zien as president, Bob Hamilton as vice president, and Lester Hanover as secretary and treasurer. At the beginning of the year the B Club was made up of only nine members, however, after football season it grew to thirty. The small number of members is due to the fact that only boys who have earned major letters in sports are permitted to join. The club originated at the close of the 1936 football season with Coach John Miller as adviser and has grown to be very prominent. It decides the award winners of each sport throughout the year and carries out many more social and business activities.
