The Rhododendron I 924 :gag 9 22 -- -ie . ,n Distress among the Seniors. Miss Boylen announces that we must write a three-thousand word theme. Who's goin' to win the class tour- ney this afternoon? Oh! Seniors of course. But alas! the Junior High carried off the big cup given to the winners. l4'l 5. Tournament - Y e a Rah !- Rah-Rah-Buckhannon! We win the Zickefoose Loving Cup for cheering. Boys play to the finals: we defeat Parkersburg in a thrilling game. Chl I wish I were on the team! is the wail of the B. H. S. boys to- day. Why? Something to eat con- nected with that of course. Mr. and Mrs. Clagett give a dinner for the basket-ball team. Dr. Bromley, Evangelist, speaks in chapel on Elements That Win. Even high school students appre- ciate serious speeches once in a while and, as Dr. Bromley has plenty of Kentucky wit and humor, his speech was very much enjoyed. Rev. Regin sings and talks in chapel. Everyone was delighted with his singing, especially the classical se- lection, Oh Lucky-Lucky Jim. APRIL April fool takes a hand and covers the land with snow. Spring hopes blasted. Everybody has the blues. More feasts for B. Ball boys. Ro- tary Club gives them a luncheon. The Senior Hi girls win an excit- ing volley ball game from the Junior Hi girls. Score was 32-26, Senior Hi Oh good! Special chapel! Will get out of History. Mr. Grose planned this chapel for us. The college orchestra played and Dr. Barlow of the Baptist Church gave us an interesting speech and two good readings in colored dialect. Oh! we're so glad! This calendar goes to the printer to-day. Here's wishing the best of luck to those who write it next year. P. S.- Dick Young was elected bas- ket-ball captain for l925. lfll Nl QP X ltillhl 1 E t h- r , 4 1 1951 Q W

'F 'Y' 55 The prayers are answered: the boys beat the fast East Side terrors in a close game. Everyone seems happy. The girls lose to the Lumberport girls in a fast game. Special chapel.

All is Vanity! Chapel. The classes celebrate Washington's Birthday. Coasting. Everybody is out on the hill. Great fun riding down hill, but, oh, when it comes to walking up again. Coasting on the hill yet. A lot of girls are seen struting up and down: rumor says that they are seeking That school-girl complexion. The basket-ball boys are in Fairmont attending the Monongahela tourna- ment. We succeeded in putting out East Side, but failed to subdue the Lumberport boys. E MARCH March comes in like a whirlwind. Students come to school through snow and cold. Brooks Starcher, Pauline Bender, and others who have cars, become very popular.

Her readings were very entertaining, in fact she kept the whole audience convulsed with laughter.
