Contrary to custom, it was given in the cafeteria of the New Vocational Building, instead of taking place in the High School gymnasium. The cafeteria was gayly decorated in the class colors, Royal blue and gold. This event was greatly enjoyed by everyone, and the memory of it will always be cherished in the hearts of those who were participants of its pleasure. At last the time has come when we must leave Battle Creek High School, and it is with much regret that we bid adieu to our classmates. Though we shall be separated, in the future, we shall endeavor to brighten the lives around us by the fulfillment of our motto, 6'Deeds, Not Wordsf' The Senior Prom HELENA KNAPP Hear ye! all ye alumni and non-trotters, and note carefully for a veritable Renaissance has occured. We reached the Prom on time this year! A half hour of needless waste of time was not wasted in hunt- . ing for parking space for our fatheris cars, and in walking from thence to the party. For this year the Annual Senior Prom was held in the Vocational Building. The various streets intersecting at its entrance provided ample parking room and although much time was wasted in climbing stairs after we did get there. There were little arrows to direct our paths so we didn't get lost. When we finally got to the ball room Cfor you wouldn't have recognized the cafeteria-except for the tables parked out in the hallsb we were very happily surprised. The room was very gay with navy blue and gold, the class colors, and dainty pastel streamers hanging from the lights. We entered through a pretty J apanesey looking arch and started dancing to the strains of Rose of the Bio Grande as rendered by the Princetonian Orchestra Csaid rendering was very peppy and very good toward the last of the eveningl. In the center of the ball room-you see we persist in calling it that-there was a fountain sur- rounded with greenery so the traffic would progress rightly and not get the fresh- men all mixed up. Mr. and Mrs. J. F. O,Brien, Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Atkinson, DaddyH Shuart and Mrs. Shuart, Mr. Heller and Miss Marian Galton were chaperones for the occasion. Our programs were printed by the Vocational School Press-another 'fstep forward -and were very clever. Pretty soon as the '6Rose grew older but more experienced-in other words, as the evening progressed-there was a grand march. After we had prom- enaded a while they paid us, with petit cahiers and petite corsages-the boys receiving both if the girls were generous. After the corsages were all fixed, we danced some more-as that was the evening's diversion-and amused ourselves by bumping into people. Pretty soon we got tired, of course, any body would, and tried to stop. But we couldn't, as the floor was too crowded with many 6'alums who had come back and many '6fresh who had just come besides just us who intend to be able to come back within the next year or so. What is it someone said about good intentions, well anyhow at a quarter of twelve the curfew rang and drowned out the music so that the orchestra got mad and quit so we had to go home. We all had a glorious time and we are so glad you did, too We want to thank Mr. Coburn and Mr. Atkinson for letting us use the cafeteria. We surely appreciated it. 19 AAQEZ.

Senior Class History HELEN RICH It was in the fall of nineteen hundred nineteen that the remark- Qifiizliiok able class of nineteen hundred twenty three came into being. Cifgisbmiifg Though the youthful group of girls and boys, constituting the 25.52f2f:511:,..3g-5-ggi' new Freshman class did not look very promising, it has, during its four years in High School, proved itself to be worthy of com- parison with any preceding class which has gone forth from our Temple of Learning. After the t'Freshies had settled down and become accustomed to their new surroundings, they turned their attentions to class organization. A class meeting was held, during which Madeline Winslow was elected Presidentg Mary Stewart, Vice-President, Mildred Winslow, Secretary, and Zene Buck, Treasurer. Miss Bernice Jones was chosen as faculty adviser. Lnder these worthy officers, the class progressed very satisfactorily. The close of the year was celebrated by a very enjoyable picnic, held at Goguac Lake. In the Sophomore year the officers chosen to lead the class were, Dalton Lewis, President, Helena Knapp, Vice-President, Keith Redner, Secretary, and Fred Kingsley, Treasurer. Later the class was greatly saddened by the death of Fred, Paul Eggleston was then chosen to fill the vacant office. Miss lfelba Bastedo proved to be a most capable faculty adviser. After the class had entered the Junior year, the officers elected Were: Edwin Vary, Alice Bailes, Kenneth Powers, and Leona Saxton, as President. Y ice- President, Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. The class was represented well not only in all the activities of the school, but also in an excellent Shakes- pearan Pageant which was written by Miss Krell and directed and produced by Miss Bastedo. To Miss Krell and Miss Bastedo, the class sincerely feels in- debted for having made possible this Pageant, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all who saw it. The great social event of the year, the Junior Hop, was a most successful party, it took place in the gymnasium, which was attractively decorated in yellow and black. At the close of the year the Senior-Junior Picnic was held at LaBelle. Gull Lake. Games, swimming, boating, and canoeing were the much enjoyed sports, and an orchestra furnished music for dancing. This occasion was enjoyed im- mensely by all. On the night of Commencement the Reception for the Seniors was held in the High School Gymnasium, which was decorated in purple and white. This was a triumphant close to the Junior year. The Senior year has been filled with many memorable events. The officers chosen were, LaVerne Scanlan, Presidentg Mildred Griffin, Vice-Presidentg Mildred Winslow, Secretary, and Norman Stahl. Treasurer. Mr. Shuart was chosen as the Class Adviser, a position which he has held for a number of years, and the class members have appreciated his wise and kind guidance. The play put on by the Senior Class was Come Out of the Kitchen . a comedy in three acts by A. C. Thomas. taken from the story of the same name by Alice Duer Miller. The cast was very well chosen and directed by Miss Bastedo, who deserves much credit for her untiring efforts and the play came off very suc- cessfully. This year the stage was made very attractive by the beautiful new Royal purple velvet curtain, which was purchased by the various classes and organizations of the school. Another occasion, which furnished pleasant memories for the Seniors, was 18
