CLASS HISTORY It was four years ago that we climbed the stairs of B. U. H. S. and started to ascend the ladder of education. Four years, and now we are ready to go down the trail of life, better fitted for our work. We were a merry group of Freshmen, numbering twenty-eight, the largest class to enter the school. The first event was the kid party, and then a get-together wienie bake of our own. We also en- tertained the Student Body with a picnic at the close of the year. The next year, as Sophomores, we were still the most numerous. Miss Reynolds guided us over the rough places with kind words and a helping hand. This year we entertained with a Hallowe’en party, with booths where one might meet fortune tellers, tricksters, and other performers. Our boys and girls were prominent on the ball teams. Our booth at the carnival was very successful, and the queen q was a Sophomore. With this record behind us, we became Juniors. The Junior class was prominent in High School life. We were rep- resented on the teams and in all Student Body activities. A Junior was sure to be found among the cast of the plays. Near the close of the year we gave a banquet to the Senior class. And now we are Seniors! The largest class to graduate from B. U. H. 8. Seniors participated in the events of the athletic field, tennis, basketball, baseball and track. A number of Seniors are members of the C. S. F., and four will be life members. We chose, as the Senior play, that masterpiece, “Seventeen.” It was given to a capacity audience two nights. The climax of the four years is the publication of “Dos Picos.” Taken, all in all, as we look back over the past four years, we see “SUCCESS” written in capital letters. During those four years some of our class-mates have left us, others have entered—but the class that started their career in °22 still remain intact. And the friends we have made will remain friends, for they became such in 1a 1), 18h Si Wy Now we must make room for other classes, and to those classes, we of 1926, wish bon voyage! —E. P. ’26.
