In order to take advantage of such an opportunity which had lieen uu- expeetedly and somewhat reluctantly showered upon us, we decided to organize early in our junior year. Ullieeis were elected and the first officially recognized underelass was launched on the sea of education. Smooth sailing prevailed throughout the greater part ol' our junior journey until we struck a snag at the annual minslrcl show, where we oueupied box seats as the result of our labors in disposing of tickets. The calmness ol our voyage was somewhat disturbed at this juncture hy the sudden disappear- ance of our class banner. which had been lel'l unguarded on the walls ol' the theatre. Murmurs of vengeance were heard among our members for several weeks, until our lost treasure was returned as mysteriously as it had been taken. Q To recount all the pleasant and unpleasant events of our Junior year would require a reinarlcable amount of courage. Perhaps the most con- spicuous of our many achievements in the social world are to he found in the commencement festivities in which we engaged with a somewhat lavish hand. Although the gratiiication ol' our luxurious desires brought financial disaster to our treasury, no one can deny that we had the time of our livesf' Graduation appeared as a distant speck on the horizon to some of us. while to others it was less remote, and to a few, l am sorry to say, it proved but a mirage. Still we struggled onward amid the guiding induence of our instructors and have at last asseiuliled. at the end of the race for a last look at the course we have run. For seine it has been straight and smooth, others have met with an uneven and somewhat stony path, but we are all now on equal ground,-all winners of that great and priceless prize,-education. Someone has said that 'ihistory is just in the making and so may our deeds and our actions prove to future generations and may we continue throughout life, making a history for ourselves which shall be an enduring momnnent of the opportunity which we have grasped. May we always look back to the days in B. H. S. with a fond remembrance and may we never lose sight of the motto under which we departed,-'LEsse Quam Viderif' . . l'.:.m..unr.su a
