.L....-.L ..... -..Lll2 LL,, L.. L23 With added dignity, we began our Sophomore year's work. We still carry the record of being the largest class in school and hope that in 1925 we shall graduate as the lar- gest class which has ever graduated from B. H. H. S. In November, we had a class meeting, and retained the same officers which Were elected last year. We also chose as our class advisor, Mr. Gordan, and he has certainly helped us on our way. Two girls of our class were in the High School Play, our president has been elected captain of the next years' basketball team of which is he a member and three other sophcmore-girls have made a good showing in school ac- tivities, and have at last been recognized as some impor- tance in B.

The sun' setting beneath the hill tops sent its last faint rays gleaming over the barren waste of snow and woods. Balu, the Wildcat crouched in a thicket waiting for his meal. He did not care for the beauty of the sunset for indeed, although beautiful to the human eye, it was tragic to his. Long had been the winter and hard, and altho' he had managed up to this time to sustain himself, he was doubtful whether it could continue much longer. For three days now he had been forced to go without food of any sort. Deer had journeyed to other parts. Rabbits, partridges, field mice and other small animals had either been killed off or were so wary that, to get within killing dis- tance of any of these, was next to impossible. To-day, for the first time in weeks, he had sighted a lone deer, but when he came to what he thought a striking distance his muscles failed him and his leaps fell short. He was in a serious plight. He could do nothing now except wait, wait, wait. What a torture! But hark! What was that? Balu crouched lower, his eyes narrowed to mere slits, the hair on his back slowly rose. The crunch, crunch crunch of the snow told of the approach of some animal. Suddenly the bushes broke and a magnificent buck broke cover. His fine long antlers spread above his highly held, clean-cut head, seeming to defy even nature's most effective weapons, cold and starvation. As he passed close by Balu's retreat he launched him- self directly upon the back of the buck. With a snort the buck was off, running through the thickets, rolling over and over, racing beneath low limbs in a mad endeavor to rid himself of that terrible creature which clung with such dreadful tenacity to his back. But Balu was not to be over- come. This was his one hope of salvation and he clung to it as a drowning man clings to a straw. At last, exhausted by his efforts, the great buck sank-dying into the snow. Balu did not waste any time in celebrating his victory. Tearing a large hole in his side he ate greedily of the flesh
