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. We are proud of you. LLOYD WOOD. Class of 1890 1891 The class of 1891 contains but three living members, Mrs. Anna Kearns Chalman and Mrs. Emma Patch Lemley residing in Batavia, and Mrs. Mattie Gould Higgins of Oakland, California. 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

1916 BEE AITCH ESS '1916 1894 The class of '94 was comprised of four young ladies: Fern White, Gaynell Netzley, Julia Thurston Hughes and Hazel McGuire Pratt. They termed themselves The King's Daughters, being the first class to gradu- ate under the principalship of W. E. King. They also bear the distinction of being the first class to graduate from the, then new, East Side school building. The class colors were white and gold. The motto: The Bay is Left: the Ocean is Before Us. MRS. PRATT. Class of 1895 1896 It was in 1896 that Alma Mater welcomed our class into the Alumni association. To us it was one of the greatest events in our life. We had begun at the foot of the ladder and had reached the top. In doing so we had accomplished our one great desire to graduate. We chose as our mot- to: We Will Find a Way or Make One. Each one has found a way that has proven beneficial to them. In conclusion I would quote the words of the poet Moore, who said to the world: As half in shade and half in sun, The world along its path advances: Oh! may the side the sun shines in, Be all that ever meets thy glances. EDNA PECKHAM EATON. Class of 1897 Class of 1898 1899 The Class of 1899, E. B. H. S., send greetings to the Annual of 1916. Our class was called the unlucky class as it had thirteen members. We braved the old superstition and proved an exception to the rule. We were the last class to g1'aduate under Prof. King, and I know he will join the class in extending good wishes to the Class of 1916.
