1916 BEE AITCH ESS 1916 1909 To the Class of 1916 from the Class of 1909. Greetings: We wish the best of everything in life for you-the fellowship of many friends, the de- lights of books and songs, the refreshing power of laughter, the charm of each thing that lives in the world about you, and above all, the joy of serv- ice-all these throughout a long, long life. MISS MARY BARR. 1910 June Sixth, Nineteen Hundred Ten, marked the passing of the old E. B. H. S. The members of our class, fourteen girls and one lone boy, the first to be graduated under Mr. Bone, have followed with deep interest the progress of Batavia High School, and we extend our greetings to the Class of 1916. MISS MADGE GEISS. 33. 1-I. Sv. 1911 With the motto, Ever Onward, the Class of 1911 left High School and for five years has endeavored to do its share in whatever task the mem- bers of the class chose for themselves. The class has become widely scat- tered because of the varied work, but each remembers the years spent in the Batavia High School and wishes the school and the class of 1916 the great- est success. MISS ALICE GUSTAFSON. 1912 1912! My, those figures look good to us for they not only recall hard work, but many happy incidents, too numerous and needless to mention. Since that time we have all chosen our own course and are pursuing it to the best of our ability. Many times during our High School days we vowed we would never teach school, but how binding it may have been at that time, it was not lasting, for ten out of twenty-nine are following the steps of our instructors. What will our class be in 1930? MISS FLORENCE SEVETSON. 1913 To Our Alma Mater The hues that our tomorrows wear Are by our yesterdays forecast 5 Our future takes into itself , The true impressions of our past. MISS MARJORIE MANN.

1916 BEE AITCH ESS 1916 Class of 1901 1902 The numbers not many, Indeed but a few Of the class that finished In 1902. Through the years that are past, Though by death not bereft, In the class that was seven But two now are left. What's the answer? Why, you know that when twain Are made one in wedlock There is not any gain. , But perhaps I am wrong. I'll try again if I may. We have a round dozen, Is now what I'll say. ALBERT E. DAVIS. 1903 There we1'e only six girls in the class of 1903. Greetings to the girls of 1903. Best wishes to every lass, My thoughts fly to you, wherever you be g My dear Alumni Class. MISS EDITH DICKENSON. Class of 1904 Class of 1905 Class of 1906 1907 There are no friends like our school friends and of course no class ever graduated better than our own. Like testimonials for patent medicines are these greetings from the classes. During our school days we thought education a Bitter Medicine, but as we see and derive its benefits we are glad to say a word of praise for our school. ERMA J EFFERY. 1908 In the Class of 1908 were Seven Wonders, but modesty forbids men tion of our innumerable achievements. Like the classes that have preceded us, in our history, are recorded many happy events. To the Class of 1916 that soon will be Alumni, we shall say that the words, Batavia High School, bring sweet recollection and cherished memories of our High School days. MRS. EVELYN FELDOTT MILROY. l123l

1916 BEE AITCH ESS 1916 1914 We'Ve returned to one another After two years long gone by, To assure each worthy class-mate That our thoughts are always nigh. In our two years on Life's journey, We have drifted far apartg Bravely fighting life's old battle With Alma Mater in our hearts. MISS MILDRED SHAW. 1915 When everyone's jeering, When most you need cheering, When failure seems very near, Recall from your mem'ries, Such eternal mem'ries As school days, and all to them dear. When all goes the wrong way, An hour seems a whole day, And everything we do seems without merit, Let's just think of our school And make it a rule- To stick it out, grin, and bear it.
