Due to the forecast for stormy weather, “Ghost Stories in the Courtyard” will be held in a more haunted and ghost-ridden location…The BHS Library! Dared to be scared this evening from 5:45 to 7:15 p.m. Come and share your favorite ghost stories or just sit back and listen. We will watch a few haunting video shorts in between screams….Spooky snacks, hot cider will be served!

These whimsical marine motif figures were crafted by local artist, historian, author and musician Claude Bonang, who graduated from Brunswick High School in 1948 and from Bowdoin College in 1952. Check out Brunswick’s history in his book Memories in Verse and Prose on display!

On April 5, 2013, I spent a wonderful afternoon recording Claude Bonang (Brunswick High School, Class of 1948) playing his old-time instruments (the washboard tie, musical saw, rhythm bones, harmonica and mouth harp), as well as reading from his book Memories in Prose and Verse. Claude Bonang taught Biology and AP Biology at BHS, and is an historian, author, musician and artist. Check out his marine motif folk art display in the Library! ~Mrs. Jerome
Create your own “Cento” Book Spine Poem and we’ll snap a picture of it and post it on the bulletin board in the library. Your cento may also get read at Poetry Open Mic Night on April 26th in Crooker Theater. April is National Poetry Month!
What is cento? A cento is a poem pieced together from the words of several authors. Book Spine Poems are created by stacking books, then reading the tiles as though each were a line of verse. This poetic form is known as a cento. So, if you like poetry, words, or just like stacking things, try making a cento out of books in the BHS library…it’s addicting!
