Principal WE draw near the close of another school year with the feeling that it has been good for us to be asso- ciated together in all that goes to make Boise Hi a good place to spend our days of work. The total enrollment is the greatest in the history of the' High School. The graduating class is larger by ten per cent than any previous class. Individual and group achievements in all lines of academic and extra-curricular activity have been fully as outstanding this year as ever before. I have a peculiar affection for this graduating class. VVe came to Boise Hi together. Perhaps we had the mutual feelings and emotions of a Freshman on the opening day. VVe have learned together. I have gloried in your development in stature, in knowledge and in wis- dom. We expect you to do your full share in filling positions of responsibility in wider fields of opportunity and in solving the problems of the world. I know that the High School will be a better place because you were here. I have a great respect for western youth. You have been so tolerant of a stranger in a foreign land. I count it one of the richest experiences of my life to have the oppor- tunity of living and working here among you. The joys I've had in working with you have been so much greater than the little unpleasant things that have come up. You are now making, and you are going to make, this community a better place in which to live and in which to make a living. Zed L. Foy. Zed L. Foy IEDCEQHLIYR OIF Boys HN the center of the great Northwest region of the United States lies Boise the Beautiful. In the heart of Boise is a majestic, old institution-Boise High School -which has spread culture, information and knowledge to the utmost corner of this great Northwest. It has excellent buildings and grounds, well equipped athletic fields, laboratories and library. It is, in short, an inspiring place in which to work. But the true value and wealth of Boise High School lies rather in its inspirational leadership-its teachers who, down through the years, have dared to keep abreast of the times and lead and guide the thoughts and ideals of L0ff'f1 H- Bdflff all with whom they have come in contact, constantly challenging the best efforts of their students. The coming and going of students each year brings both joy and regret to the faculty-joy in having a new group of students to guide and love-regret that too soon they must leave for the great world. But our greatest satisfaction is derived from our 'ffinished productl'--the student who has grown in culture, knowledge and skill and who is filling successfully a responsible position in the world. And there certainly are many such. The extra-curricular activities, apart from the subject matter taught and learned, are of a nature and of such high quality that they demand of us all a fine spirit of loyalty. This 1933 Courier is but one of the many fine examples of the extra-curricular activities which make us W proud to be a part of Boise Hi. Loren H. Baxler. Page Nineteen

Superintendent TO the Students of Boise Hi: It thrills me to see you carry on. Think of it! The enrollment in Boise Hi is the largest it has ever been in this year of supreme difficulties and splendid oppor- tunities. More students are graduating in 1933 than ever before, and more of them are achieving honors. Many years ago David, the king after God's own heart, made this resolution: I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help . Pause, if you will, on the summit of our own foothills. The heights beyond are irresistible. When you reach the new elevations you lift eyes and hopes to still loftier ranges beyond. From Clear Creek summit you climb to Galena. From range to range you reach the continental divide where strike the first rays of the morning sun. It's a long, hard trek, but at the end is the joy of a splendid view of the world. From the mountain peaks that meet your gaze comes new inspiration to meet life's battles. Far below, you can see the wonders that Idaho pioneers have accomplished, in the fructifying and beautifying of the desert. Surrounded with such grandeur, the Youth of Idaho cannot but have the determina- tion to achieve success. Believe me, your heroic efforts and your undaunted spirit are the inspiration and the earnest of the new day in this needy world. Again I say to you: Cheerio and carry on! Charles F. Dienst. Charles F. Dienst IIDCSGUUI Olly QIIJIIPIIS AS you know, for the past three years it has been my happy privilege to work with the largest Student Body in our state. These three years have been of priceless worth and pleasure to me. I have made many friends among you, and I cherish this friendship more than I can say. In fact, it is about my biggest asset. I wish to emphasize that this friendship does not, and should not, end with your high school days. I am still your friend, after you are graduated from Boise High School. Rest assured you will always receive a glad welcome here. Boise High School is a great school, and her students are credited with successes that cannot be surpassed else- where in our state, and to you, the contributors, are due Words of praise. This year, probably more than any other, you were forced to meet a greater challenge because of the many new situations that had to be met due to the problematic era that confronted us. Yet you, my friends, have won by your spirit of optimism, sincerity, coopera- tion, and your willingness to be of service. Clara Otness To the graduating Seniors I wish to extend my con- gratulations on their completion of their high school course, and I wish them every success in life. Your class will ever be remembered by our students and our faculty, and the many honors and laurels that you have won for dear old Boise High School will always be cherished. Clara Otness.
