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
