On the first step some seemed to step awkwardly, others very lightly and swiftly. But Alas! as they tripped on up two or three steps a few slipped and fell to the bottom, never to rise again. The rest of the half-hundred went step by step, slow but sure. At the top of the first landing of the stairs some of our intelligent climbers had participated in Athletics, Debate and Glee Club. Many stepped successfully on to the second landing. Here they became absorbed in Geometry, Caesar, and History, but pecking along on each step they turned and looked back to sec how far they had come and if they had dropped anything of importance, because they wished to keep a clean path behind them. Looking forward they were amazed to see the third and most interesting landing. This one was colored black to some, and white to others. It was one of the broken and beaten boards. Each individual did his part and the class showed some of the best work ever done in old B. H. S. -The honor roll still carried the 1l2'L11'lSS of prominent climbe1's. They were represented in football, basket-ball, base-ball and glee club. The class had several good deelamatory students and they also put on a very good class play. During the year they put on an elaborate banquet for the Seniors of '24. It was carried off very cleverly in their class colors-blue and white. Now for the last flight of stairs! My! How interesting! There was the last landing in sight everyone seemed enthused. One little fellow cried out to his class-mate down below, The elevator to success is not running take the stairs! This became their Class Motto. The other students of the high school took notice and begun to work harder, thinking how far they must go to reach the TOP. The fourth row of steps were straight but wearisome. Their number had in- creased to more than fifty and they were proud of it. Some of the weak members of the group were assisted by some of their old leaders. Their Class Advisor, Miss Damewood, was ever-ready and willing to help them in all their work and study. How glad all of them were to have her during their last year. Many, not some, were helpers in Y. W. O. A. and Hi-Y, while others were on the athletic teams. They helped make some games successful but lost others with a smile as good sportsmen do. Some of their fellow-climbers were excellent in debate, and declamatory. Still they were represented by the best songsters in the Grlee Club and many talented musicians played in the Orchestra. and High School Band. On they trod until they were on the top landing, May 22, 1925. They were now ready for service in College, the business world or elsewhere. Their Motto had worked out and each was to go on his way.
