ff? sd' 1 ' QWf'fL0l ! me -,:A Crowning of Queen Good-Will Lunch If th iN'x f M3 f UCHT X If 71 f Y VY, Q, I 'W f ? 3 f ' ' '..L.. First-Prize Float A large crowd of B. C. H. S. alumni joined with the present school pupils and faculty in celebrating the annual Bison Homecoming on Friday, October 27. The Seniors planned a busy day for everyone, which opened with a mammoth pep meeting at 2:00 p.m. in the High School Auditorium. The highlights of this were the pep talks given by Superintendent Larson, Coach Gregor and Dr. Feldick. Then winding out of the schoolhouse a Snake Dance was organized at the front of the schoolhouse. Being led by the cheerleaders, the Snake Dance wound its coils throughout and around the whole community. The football squad was driven to the main intersection, where they were honored by the dancers 'h0 Spiraled around them and gave some yells. Going out to the football field at 3:15, a torch Cor perhaps a cigarette lighter! was applied to the bonfire. Around the big blaze songs, cheers, and pep were the order of the afternoon. Coach Gregor gave an inspiring speech, which ended the program for the afternoon. At 7:30 the parade of floats spearheaded by our marching band, paraded to the athletic field. Here the Bison met the alert Eagles of Britt's gridiron-eleven in a mighty struggle. At halftime the floats were driven around the field and were judged and awarded by Mr. Langhus and Mr. Beaving. Then came the highlight of the day, when the band led the way on to the field and was followed by our four queen candidates: Myrna Kiewiet, Carmen Stowe, Janice Feldick, and Shirley Hauskins. The honored member of the football team that night was Bob Burger who placed the crown on our Homecoming Queen of 1950, Miss Shirley Hauskins. Following the game Mrs. Olson and her helpers served a Goodfwill Lunch in the school cafeteria for the teams and cheerleaders of both schools, the Buffalo Center band, the faculty, the Homecoming Queen and her attendants and the Senior class members.

Fall Carnival 9 l 53 2 , ' Q w e ' L.: X XLS ' x On November 18, 1950, it appeared to be a busy day throughoutthe school building with the high school and the faculty members hurrying around to get prepared for the first attempt of an All-School Carnival. Finally after a hard days work these were the results: Downstairs the cafeteria was decorated tothe theme of HThe Gypsy Tea Room' and the girls were serv- ing lunches to the large crowd which came that night. Over in the ath- letic room the results were not as tasty as those in the cafeteria, for this was the NTomb of Terror.H Having viewed the hanging mice, the corpse in the coffin and being uit by wet mops, one was even willing to walk on the final egg-shelled floor to get out of there. Then upstairs the main events were going on. In a side room was the NBlue Roomu which had the gypsy and her crystal ball. In the gym was the Souvenir shop, and its de- tested confetti, the art room, basketball throw and the dart game. The carnival was also kept going by the cake walk, telegram booth and votes for the queen. At last the evening was drawn to a close by the crowning ofthe Carnival Queen. Candidates chosen from seventh to twelfth grades were: Priscilla Miller, Margaret Murray, Shirley Hauskins, JoAnn Brue, Carmen Stowe, and Delores Albers. After the votes were counted, the queens were escorted on the stage and presented to the audience by M .
