¢}poreword S ANOTHER school year draws to a close the annual staff puts aside its type- writers and pens—another La Revista. To some it is just that; to others it is a cherished keepsake, a Review that they will be glad to turn to as they journey down the way of life. As they turn the page, many smiling faces of friends will greet them; accounts of events herein will recall happy incidents and pleasant mem- ories. The annual staff of 1927-28 has worked to its utmost to edit a La Revista that will be novel and distinct from the volumes of the past; it has tried to produce a book that each member of the student body will be glad to call his high school an- nual, and with this thought in mind we present this volume of the La Revista. —THE EDITOR.

THE STUDENT BODY On the twelfth day of September, in the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven, each maiden and brave of the B. U. H. S. tribe embarked his frail canoe on the turbulent stream of Learning. The B. U. H. S. tribe is composed of four bands of fair maidens and sturdy warriors, with the worthy brave, Richard Hansen, as chief. The first of these bands is that of the Freshmen, constituting a large percentage of the whole tribe. That of the Sophomores, a gallant and peaceful tribe, comes next. The valiant Junior band is third, and last, but not least, is the mighty band of veteran squaws and braves, namely, the Seniors, which completes the peace loving tribe. A Grand Council was held September 23, 1927, for the purpose of testing the qualities of the Freshman band. This was known as the “Kid Party.” All dignity and sedateness were laid aside and for the evening all were ‘“‘papooses” again. The B. U. H. S. tribal plays, “Neighbors,” “The Store,” and “A Little Fowl Play,” were staged November 18, with the aid of the Great Teachers and the orchestra. The Christmas Holidays, or the Great Fast, were enjoyed from the sixteenth of December to the second of January. This was a period during which no books were to be tasted, swallowed, or digested. By the second of January every member of the tribe was hungering and thirsting for a good meal of Knowledge. Thus the New Year was begun. March 13, 1928, was observed by the tribe as “Tacky Day,’ with a box social in the evening. Those who did not come “tackily” dressed were sen- tenced to hard labor by the Council. Spring vacation was greeted with shouts of joy by all. The Great Wigwam was deserted for a whole week while the tribe searched for Happier Hunting Grounds. The school year terminated in the early part of June, and the tribe bade farewell to the beloved Senior band, which had now embarked on a swifter and more dangerous stream called Life. And in the meantime tribal life was made more joyous by the interesting assem- blies and the rallies held in behalf of the warriors. Frequently the tribe could be seen back of the Great Wigwam dancing around a blazing bonfire, floating the be- loved green and white banner, while the hearty war cry—osky-wow-wow!—resounded through the pass. This is a typical B. U. H. S. pow-wow on the eve of battle. (0), Sh PAGE EIGHT
