l 0 nfs ' ig! - 1 A . S4 41 'Che Rhododendron 1924 ROSS BONAR Buckhannon High School is indeed fortunate in having this talented young man, Ross Bonar, at the head of the Science Department. Mr. Bonar is invaluable to B. H. S. not only as a teacher. but also as a leader in all that is fine and true. He is a manly man with high ideals and possesses a magnetic personality. He always has a smile of welcome for everyone and is ready to do anything in his power for the development of the boys and girls of our school. He is chairman of the Junior Class Advisory Committee and is always ready to give the best of advice and suggest the best of plans. All the boys and girls in Buckhannon High will always remember Mr. Bonar because of the courtesy and kindness that he has shown them both in and out of class. The Juniors wish to take this opportunity to express their appreciation for the kindness he has shown them and the excellent advice he has given in time of need. BYRD PICKENS The Junior Class has profited greatly by having Miss Pickens as their English teacher and class advisor. Her cheerful disposition and willingness to help us in all our activities has made her very popular with all the students. Her classes are never dreaded, but, instead, looked forward to. The Junior class, as a whole, takes this opportunity to express their appreciation of all that she has done for us during this past year. MISS LOIS CLARK Miss Clark, head of the French Department and High School Librarian, is one of Buckhannon's most popular young teachers. Due to her work, many fluent French speak- ers spring forth. The Library has also shown great signs of improvement under her vigilant care. As a Junior Advisor her ready acquiescence to anything for promoting the welfare of the class may always be counted on. Under her supervision Le Circle Francais has, though young, become one of the Usnappiestn clubs in school. Though her ready wit often carries veiled sarcasm, it never offends, for her smile is always sweet and friendly. Miss Clark is what is best described as a good sport. She is liked by students and faculty, and B. H. S. is indeecl fortunate in having her. l43I

.v 1. ..- ings- fafjgic'-'N ' rf '--- -of t - 'zrho Rhododendron 1924 UNIOR CLASS SYNOPSIS OF THE. PAST YEAR f.,T F a Junior Class had never made a reputation before, this year's class V has made one worthy enough to cover all shortcomings of the past. But as that is not necessary, we will keep all the honors for ourselves. Among the many things which this illustrious Junior Class has accomplished in the past year is their program rendered in chapel. You will probably say, Why, that was nothing! But you know it's the little things in life that count most in the long run. gk We can also claim a large portion of the athletic success, both in football and bas- ket-ball, especially the latter, as on the boy's team four out of five are from the Junior Class. And in addition to this, most of the girls' team was made up of Juniors. The Junior team was runners-up in class tournament, too. Oh! we're there when it comes to basket-ball, alright! But that's not all, a great number of the football squad was also from the Junior Class. Though we didn't win out in the Red Cross Seal Campaign, which was put on in the form of a contest among the classes, we certainly did run those other classes a close race and they about had to turn their pockets wrong side out to beat us! The Juniors don't fall behind when it comes to Literary activities, either: they are right there with the goods. In the state contest for the university scholarship two of the four who went to Grafton were Juniors. And the class did its faithful bit in helping to make School Life the success which it has proved to be. As you likely know, it's the custom that the Senior Class will be entertained each year by their supposed inferiors, the Juniors. Of course this year that inferior phase proved an exception to the rule. The junior-Senior banquet was one long to be remem- bered by all who took part in it. But the Juniors didn't neglect their own class when it comes to entertainment-far from it! The party given in their own honor came near being a rival to the banquet. Take it from us-the Junior Class of '24 is one that B. H. S. should long remember and will be proud of. My! what we won't do when we are Seniors. Q EV EY!
