35-40 people turned out to remember and hear about the night BFA was gutted by fire back on January 17, 1941.
Henry was there and took some pictures.

One interesting note:
The first issue of the BFA Buzzer was found and it was discovered exactly when the evening basketball games, being played at the old Grange Hall, were interupted as it was announced that the school was on fire.
The girls game was in the third quarter with Highgate leading BFA 36-6 when the game was stopped. The scheduled boys game vs. Milton was not played.
Three members of that girls team were in attendence Monday night- Beverly Stewart Taylor, Louise Bellows Counos, and Joyce Bellows McCuin.
