During the course of the month, Mildned Wilson and Hank Tam- blyn were elected presidents of the Girls"~nd Boys' Athietic Sa- cieties respectively.

The 1month ended on a billiant note, Beilman thnowing a Hallowe'en Bail that ranked with the best dances lever held at the schooi. Navember saw mostly Com- mencement practice, and mare Commencement practice. A high- ly ententaining three night pres- entation was offered ta the town by the school, with the list af prize winners headed by Evelyn Taylor, the valedictorian of the graduating class. After Com- m encement a surpnising decreaset in extra cunicular activities was1 noted, presumably because of im-1 minent exams. December proved rather unin- teresting up ta the Christmas par- ty, again sponsored by the Lit. Sa- ciety. A cheerful ten haurs, fram twa tili twelve, were spent by the teachers and students at the schooi during which time a movie, Funj Parade, Supper, Clean Up and' Dance offered evenyone a bangain for a mere ten cents. Everyone left the party with moistened eyes, deepiy affected by the thought that the halls of the sehool wouid nat resound ta the cheerful laugh-t ter of oven-anxious bookwormss for a seemingly interminable per- lad of twa weeks. And naw we stand before an- other term. Last Monday, the much - too - dormant schaol spirit xvas anoused by the leading dra- matic personaiity of B.H.S.-Many Paterson, who introduced ta the assembly ber idea of a fonthcom- ing Variety Show which the Lit. Society will sponsor. This will be shown ta. the town. The main abject of this show is ta raise funds ior the somewhat depleted candi-- tion ai the Lit. Society's tneasury, but also ta bring out more of the latent talent we have in the school whicb has neyer had an occasion ta, prove itseli. Suggestions for the show are stili being received, ,among wbicb the best seem ta be a Chorus Line and some selections .fromn Pinafore. Howeven, every- thing is still rather vague.
