The History of the Senior Class VVhile the deeds of another year are being written down in the annals of time, T, the scribe of 1916, Clo solelllllly invoke CHO, the muse of Hlstorydxslo COSTS to mv aid in transmitting to posterity the annals of the class of l9l6. .ay e so aid me to frame its history that we can never forget the happy friendship and the memorable occasions which have made our school days so dear to us. Half a hundred strong we entered Qld B. H. S. in the autumn of 1912. Our first task after the details of organization had been completed, was to choose. a' pin. The pin selected was one which bore the seal of the State of New York, the initials lj. H. S., and our numerals, l9l6. Then we decided that we ought to do some- thing along the line of social activities. A sleighride was our first venture. A date was set, and all the details arrangedg but the weather man did not smile on us and the event was postponed. As there had been no class functions during the early part of the term, a picnic was the next thing in order. This was held at Horseshoe Lake in the early part of june and was thoroughly enjoyed by all present, especially the boys-there were three. Truly our Freshman year had not been an eventful one, but we had hopes for the future. The following September saw us as Sophomores with fewer numbers but with greater spirit. Purple and yellow pansies were selected as the class flower. Our next event was a dance which was held after the Hamburg-Batavia basket- ball game. Tt was an enjoyable affair for the few that attended it. A little later we held a sleighride-in carryalls-to Le Roy, on the night of the Le Roy- Batavia game and had a fine time in spite of the cold weather. Wfe must have been overcome with the realization of our importance as Sophomores for the social activities of the class decreased considerably during the latter part of the term. The only gathering was a picnic held at our accustomed place-Horseshoe Lake. Another year saw us back in school as juniors. VVe filled our position as such in no mean way. Qur most conspicious social activities consisted of a Halloween party held at the home of Catherine Ruger at Upton, and the com- mencement festivities in which we gratified our desires for pleasure, but com- pletely wrecked our treasury. Finally the time came when we ourselves could enjgy the diqtiuctiou of being H . 4 - , I ' 5 Seniors.
