w S A G EBRUSH Hansen — L. Schooley — Kast — M. Winger SENIORS A wagon load of beets was dumped at the factory of B. H. S. on September 7, 1927. We were washed in the flumes of initiation and taken into the factory, ready to begin the process of becoming granulated sugar. We were sliced and shredded in the machines of English and algebra. Miss Wolfe, the foreman, supervised this first stage of our develop- ment. By this time most of us were ready to he made into syrup. We were taken to the syrup vats in the chute of examinations. In the second stage, Miss Haynes was our foreman. In order that we might become the best sugar possible, we were boiled in the vats of world history, geometry, and Eng- lish II. Samples of this syrup were taken to the laboratory where we were tested by expert chemists. Most of the syrup proved to lie sweet enough, and with a great deal of rejoicing we entered the vats to be made into brown sugar. During our brown sugar stage we commanded our foremen, Miss Ericksen and Mr. Volgamore, to stop the vats while we gave a carnival and a play. At one time they allowed us to mix with the white sugar long enough for us to give a banquet. White sugar at last! We went through the final and most difficult process, that of being granulated, in the machine of American history. We were given a final test in the laboratory and found to be the sweetest sugar ever produced in B. H. S. We were sacked and tied by Miss Lyda and Mr. Rickert. But we found a hole in the sack and leaked out for Sneak Day. Of course we were discovered and brought back. Now we are loaded in the car of “farewells” ready to be carried away by the train of “commencement.” CLASS OFFICERS i Egon Hansen Lloyd Schooley .......President Vice-President Lester Kast Marion Winger 193 1 Secreta) y Treasurer [ Pour Seven 1 ii
