jfetiruarp Class This year, for the second time in the history of our school, the Senior Class was diminished by the departure of nine of its members after completing but one semester in their senior year. The ever impending call to the colors along with a strong desire for college training gave the February class the incentive to go through long, hot, summer days of study and seemingly endless hours of homework. We were sorry to see them leave us and their graduation brought home to us for the first time that our days at B.C.C. were numbered. Each member, in his own personal way, was a vital part of the Senior Class and its spirit and optimistic outlook will not be forgotten.
