1916 BEE AITCH ESS 1916 Class of 1901 1902 Boldly, Faithfully, Successfully. Class colors-Green and White. Fourteen years ago! Oh, Time, why such speed? Seems but yester- day We were just beginning our education and here we are not half done yet. It is amusing to look back fourteen years and think how wise we thought we were and to realize what a wee bit of knowledge we really did possess. , The class of 1902 extends congratulations to the Board of Education, Mr. H. A. Bone and others who have been instrumental in uniting the East and West side and erecting that magnificent structure for the coming youth. Best wishes for success to all the pupils and to Bee Aitch Essf' MRS. JOSEPHINE PIERCE CHILDS. 1903 Greetings from Class of 1903.

Our hearts often go back to High School days with much joy and satisfaction, and we are always inter- ested in the welfare of our Alma Mater. J. E. ANDERSON. 1904 In Memories' Halls are many fine pictures, And none are more dear than those of '04. We hail our New High School, its Superintendent and Teachers And wish it the best for now and evermore. MRS. FRANK WOLCOTT. 1905 Greetings f1'om the Class of 1905 Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last. Shut thee from heaven with a dome vast Till thou at last a1'e free leaving thine out-grown shell By life's unresting sea. MISS BERTHA FELVER. I119l

1916 BEE AITCH ESS 1916 Class of 1881 Class of 1882 Class of 1883 1885 The class motto of 1885 Was, No steps backward. We thought at that time, it would be impossible to take such stepsg yet we must give the class of 1916 the honor of taking many steps in advance in regards to num- bers, success and loyalty. HARRIET MAC DOWELL. Class of 1887 1889 The Editor of The Vox Alumni, '89, sends greetings and best Wishes to the Annual of 1916. May you ever and always be boosters for Old Ba- tavia High.

Those who have crossed to the other side are Robie Copeland, Bertha Fearson, Lulu Storer Miller and Jeanette Hazen Wolcott. MRS. LEMLEY. 1893 The class of '93 set forth, To make the world all over, To satisfy all hungry hearts And place each one in clover, But, oh, the best laid schemes, So often do miscarry. They sallied forth and then- Six settled down to marry, One still remains on life's old tree Like the last leaf in the story, May Providence to each be kind And may they meet in glory. MISS LOUISE C. WHITE. H1211
