RIDE YOUR SCHOOL BUSES For the first time since the beginning of the war school buses are being used to bring students to school activities conducted at the high school at night The school board has consented to allow the use of buses for twelve activities during the year This arrangement tails for two more bus trips than have ever been allowed students before Most students do not realize the importance of this undertaking It is estimated this year that the cost for bus usage to night activities will be more than $700 If the school board is willing to finance transportation to night functions we should see to it that buses are used and the plan is supported wholeheartedly We should not only ride the bus ourselves but also encourage our friends to do the same Bear River high school has one of the most intricate transportation problems in the state Because the school is located between two towns and most students live so far from school it is difficult for them to come to night activities For their benefit let’s all ride the buses so all students can participate in such activities as night games dances and dramas Tell dad you won’t need his car let’s ride in the school bus! m mm Carter Your STRAY BEAMS Oh and such a busy my week at the putty knife factory While the have never seen! seniors have been learning how to decapitate a vociferous multitude other conspiring forces have been composing and have now completed the sonata for one fihger and cash register While the chemistry students' troubles have been multiplying like rabbits yours truly has been on a new edition called busy “What to Do Until the Electrician Arrives” This complete book on the goin’s on in a dark room will soon go to press and judging from recent comments that isn’t the only place it's going to go roving reporter has just count of duplicate sonalities around Bear River There is a grand total of six The freshman class boasts five sets of twins three sets are boys and two are girls Leo and Leon Conger head the list Brown eyes and dark hair help make two good looking boys They spent the summer in south Tremonton raising We also understand that beets they are pretty good singers From out Tremonton way come Thelma and Selma Stethe twins are nquist Although identical not you can’t tell them apart unless you know Mr Kerr met one of his Thelma has blue friends the other them well day and askeyes while Selma looks at the ed where he had been for the world through green ones last four years The friend reFieldlove in interests lie Their plied that he had been at coling lege taking medicine If you haven’t met Ronald To this Mr Kerr said “My and Robert Bessinger you’d bearc you well yet?” gosh tter do so at once I asked if they topped beets and was hit in the face with the reply of Why is a fire engine red? “Gosh no!
