Got a great addition to our Bowling Green Senior High School and Ladysmith High School display. Kenny Haines donated a wonderful pen and ink drawing by artist Al Campbell of the basketball players from BGSH and LHS. This adds great to our display. Don't you have some items that you would like to add to this display???

Mark your calendar: Sunday, May 3 at 3 p.m. at the Caroline Community Center. Please come and share your memories from BGSH and LHS. Also please bring your pictures, memorabilia, and uniforms (you can come in it if you like) on that day. Cheerleaders bring your pom poms!!

Please share this notice with your fellow school mates and teachers and encourage them to come.
