At lastl The 1930-31 Rarefrffm is outl It is with a great sigh of relief that we place before the student body of B.H.S. the second edition of our school year book- Rarefntr. YVe feel that in the publication of this magazine we have passed another milestone in the achievements ofB.H.S., for in it are recorded the activities of another school year-activities many and varied. We fervently hope that this edition of Rarebzilm will be greeted with the same approval as its predecessor, but ofcourse we welcome constructive criticism which may improve the general make-up of the magazine in future years. ln stepping into the shoes of the last year's Rarefrziitr staff we realized that we had quite a task before us if we hoped to maintain the standard established then- but we also remembered our slogan Bigger and Betteru. Accordingly,we have clone our best to make improvements wherever we saw tit. ln glancing through the pages you will notice many new additions such as a French and a Latin page, a Zoo page, a Travelogue, some special articles, a few more cartoons and some more group pictures. YVe trust that you will appreciate these and derive a good deal of enjoyment from them. At this time we wish to express our appreciation to those who have so kindly contributed material for this issue. XVe are gratified to announce that the amount of material submitted for this year's magazine is a decided increase on that received last year and of course we hope that next year the addition will be that much greater. Xve extend our deepest gratitude to our contributors and especially to our advertisers on whom we are absolutely dependent for the existence of Rarebziir. lxlay it be worth their while to help us out in future yearsl

RAREBITS 21 iffiztrehita Iluninr The Rarebziir staff are justified in feeling proud of their achievements during the year. Certainly three publications of a miniature Rarefzhir are an achievement of no mean order. We had hoped to be able to publish one or two more, but due to unavoidable difficulties arising out of lack of funds we were forced to abandon this plan. We feel that perhaps the students might have shown more co-operation with these undertakings-but, this will never do, for grumbling is a violation of the laws of school spirit. These issues of Rarebftr Junior Cso called only as a means of distinguishing it from its seniorj were printed and the expenses were defrayed by means of adver- tisements from local merchants. We trust that next year our successors will see fit to continue these publications and perhaps enlarge upon them to the extent of monthly papers. May they have the best of good luck in their effortsl fllinnimg illinrning Aazrmhlg Monday Morning Assembly was established in the school this year for the first. We are rather proud of these weekly gatherings and the student body has acquired a good deal of enjoyment out of them. The students assemble in the Auditorium from their respective class rooms immediately after the nine o'clock bell rings. On the platformiMr. Bates opens the Assembly with a short Bible reading and the Lord's Prayer after which various announcements are made concerning school activities either by the principal or some members of the Faculty or the student body. Then we march back to our respective rooms and settle down to our work so much the better for this slight diversion. Perhaps next year we may see this weekly assembly made even more interesting because after all a succession of announcements are not what one would call particularly entertaining. I should suggest that in the future the school or- chestra, which has been rather in the background during the latter half of this term, be given an opportunity to make an appearance and render a few selections. 1 should strongly advise Cifl may take this libertyj that the National Anthem be played at the conclusion of this Morning Assembly. flbur Athletic Arhieuements The year 1950-51 has been a year of remarkable achievement in athletics. A record has been made of which every Burlingtonian should be proud, and which will go down in the annals of the athletic history of Burlington High School as a record excelled by none. Two champion teams have been produced-the Rugby team, winners of C.O.S.S.A. and the Girls' Senior Basketball team, runners-up in the Ontario Basket- ball series for Secondary Schools. These teams have not only advertised their school but they have given to the town of Burlington a name really significant in athletic circles. The Rarebfif Staff wish to take this opportunity to extend to these budding athletes our heartiest congratulations. They have certainly shown some of our pessimists what can be done in athletics in a school the size of B.H.S. We fervently hope that in future years the athletes of Burlington High School will achieve as much success and fame as those of 1950-51. illarewell Fellow-students? ' Here is your 1950-51 Rarebiir.
