	Dr. William Bogard enjoys punch and talks with Susan Joplin at the BHSU English Club Tea. The food service department allowed us to use the Silver punch bowl to add a classic look. Lemon bars, cookies, banana bread brownies, crackers and dip made up a lovely spread of goodies to eat.
	Spearfish children's librarian receives a children's version of Shakespeare's play "The Tempest" from the club's secretary, Carol Armbrust.
	Dr. Bogard (retired 1999) receives retirement gift from club Secretary, Carol Armbrust. The carved wooden frame surrounds an excerpt from Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Nature." Dr. Bogard taught American Literature at BHSU for over 30 years.

Newly elected Vice President Tera Burnham gives Dr. David Joplin a plaque in appreciation for his four years as BHSU's English Club advisor. This is Dr. Joplin's last semester as an English professor at BH. He is going to California to teach at a college near Berkley.
Dr. David Joplin poses for a quick picture with Tera Burnham, the BHSU English Club Vice President. English Club members raised money to purchase the plaque at their Bake Sale during the April 26th, Shakespeare Day, commemorating Shakespeare's birth and death, which acc- ording to records occurred on the same day. We are sorry to see Dr. Joplin go. We'll miss his enthusiasm for English Lit.
