There was great rejoicing among the Freshmen when Mr. Keough, homeroom teacher, returned after a forced absence. Teachers are really missed--believe it or not!!!
Other pages contained school gossip, original poems, sports news, original essays and cartoons. As you can see, this copy was quite a treasure. I hope that the names and happenings brought back happy memories to many of you.We owe our thanks to Albert Spencer for saving this piece of memorabilia and sending it to the Commission. Though 1939 was ahead of my time in BHS--I recognized many of the names and enjoyed seeing them once again. ----ETA
