T)ean of Qirls It has been my privilege to have had the position of Dean of Girls in your high school for the past four years. M association with this student bodj has been trulj a happj and inspiring one. It has been very interesting these tour years watching the present graduating class during its entire high school career. Seniors, you and I entered Boise high school together, just four hurt years ago. It maj seem a long time to you. but not so long to me. These four years have been interesting ones, and more than that — they have been years of real living for all of us. We have been busily engaged in work and in gaining new accomplishments, and last, not least, we have been happily engaged in fun and good fellowship. This message in the 193 4 Courier is for all students of the high school ; yet I cannot help ha ing a special kind ot feeling for the present gradu- ating seniors, since w e d i d come to Boise Hi together. I imagine we had the self same feel- ing of bewilder- ment as freshmen. I have gained knowl- edge with you daily. I have enjoyed watching the activities and accomplish- ments of each one of you and have felt happy with each of your special achieve- ments. My best wishes go with you as you leave these halls. Come back whenever you have a desire to meet old friends. We will always be glad to see you, and by all means do not feel that our interest in you is at an end. To the students who are to return next year: I wish you everj happiness during your vacation season. If you ar - working, work hard and diligently, and in your play, play hard and whole- heartedly. It will be jolly to meet you next fall, after a separation of three months — happy months, I trust. CLARA OTV ss |J T ean of Soys To the class of 1934, congratulations on your completion of high school, and good wishes for your commencement of a larger life and responsibility. Boise high school owes you a debt of gratitude for the influence and the imprint of your lives on her histon and spirit; you owe the school your contniued allegiance and loyalty and a determination to show, in all you do, the ideals and abilities you gained here. To the student body remaining, let me reword a trite old saying: Our school is just what you make of it. As I write this, our basketball team has just won a trophy for sportsmanship, an award which might well have been made to the whole student body. For you have learned the lesson that it is more satisfying in the long run to give the other fel- low a fair chance and even the bene- fit of the doubt, even though he happen . to be your competitor. You know how to be brave losers and modest winners. It is well that you do, because you take part in such a great number of activities — athletics of all kinds, music, dramatics, debates, decla- mation, journalism, commercial work, and dancing. Your life in years to come should be enriched by the pleasure and knowledge that you have found behind doors opened to you through these activi- ties of Boise high school. Finally, your opportunities for study and scholarship are second to none. Boise high school has equipment and variety of courses comparable with any high school in the country. Make the most of all this, students. The ideals and the opportunities are yours for the taking. Make use of them, and Boise high school will be even greater and happier than it now is. EDWIN ADAMS

Day dreams in fourth dimension, to sa nothing of nightmares in perspective, are some of the dilemmas of solid geometry students of this venerable institution. What can be done to a triangle by trigonometry studes is simply astonishing, the teacher general lj being the victim of part of the astonishment. All courses in math from beginning algebra to advanced algebra and trig are given in this school. Seth Freer, with a B. S. degree from Carleton college and the University ol Idaho is head of the math department. Mr. Freer teaches algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry. A. G.
