This year the editorial board of the Boreas , is trying to make our pub- lication a little different from last year's. We feel that our year book will travel farther and have a wider circu- lation than ever before, since copies will be sent to boys and girls in the armed services. We are dedicating this tenth edition of the Boreas to those from this community who are serving in the armed forces because we feel that none deserve it more than they. We are trying, for that reason to Sophomore Editor ....... .,...... G loria Croteau Freshman Editor ............, ........ R uth Quigley Senior Class Statistics ....,.....

UQUDUQUUDUQQGQIQUQQQQQUQQDQQQG . wnexceaooczou EDITORIAL IFFEN If anyone should step up to you and ask you what we needed most at Bing- ham High School, what do you think you would say? Well, I will tell you. Maybe it is not what you would think of, but it what I know. What we need most is good school spirit, something to urge students on toward the goal. We need more UPRODUCTIONH. Pupils must work harder, they must take a different and more interested attitude toward the school and its teachers. Teachers cannot teach a les- son to a group of boys and girl who are not interested. It is strictly impos- sible. If a student does not care wheth- er or not he learns, and if he has no real school spirit, it gives anyone a rather vivid picture of what the out- look will be. I know that there are many people who have never completed school. I know also, that out of a good many of those who did not continue their edu- cation, the reason was from their own choice. I will admit, however, that there are those who had home duties which made it necessary for them to give up their schooling. If you will no- tice, is is those who have had to give up school who have wanted most to continue. But those who took their choice, left because of a lack of the true school SPIRIT . There was nothing binding them to the school. Now let's all get together and say, MORE PRODUCTION IN '45 .' P. G. B. '46 If only I were out of high school! ! Then I would know real happiness. How one can endure twelve grueling years of school is more than I can surmise, but what a wonderful feel- ing it must be to get away from the monotony of the same old classes, the same old teachers, and the same old school building! Surprisingly, some people like school. The only ones whom I have seen who ever liked school are the mentally decrepit and the teachers' pets . If I were out of school, I would work for some rich corporation. I would earn a small fortuneg then I would be very, very nice to all the school-kid- dies. I would buy all the schools in the state and burn them all at once. I would be a state hero, I betcha. If I were only out of school! ! I William L. O'Brien '46 Pk rr 'lf lk CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS There are many new ideas for the post-war world, some of which are difficult to understandg but one which concerns us closely is the plan for a consolidated school in our own com- munity. The idea of such schools is by no means new, for consolidation has been carried out in many parts of the United States, and has proved success- ful. Such schools have already proved their value in New York Stateg for without a doubt, New York has the
