METHODIST CHURCH Our Step Alma Matersn W 'i?2l??5 f HEN on that fatal day, September 21, of 1918, we saw our beloved lg, .2 High School consumed by fire, and turned away feeling homeless 5 and forelorn, only to be taken under the protecting wing of the LN X 5 Methodist Chureh, we felt like wandering orphans who had at .Q last found a haven of rest. It, together with the Parish House and Christian Seienee Church, were rapidly fitted out with sehool parapher- nalia and soon we were bark in the harness, trying to forget our sorrow and to enjoy the pleasures of the remainder of the term of '19. Baek we eame to these friends in the September of '19, feeling secure and happy, only to be 'Q-ousted from our main home, the Methodist Church, on January 27, 1920, by the same formidable and familiar enemy, another fire. Again we were shelterless and forced to seek new friends, which we soon found in the l'nited Brethren, Christian and Presbyterian churches. The unhealthy eondition of the Cliristian Church basement required another ehangre and proved to us that there was still another waiting the opportunity to befriend us, in the form of the Baptist Church. VVe only stayed a, short time i11 the Presbyterian ehureh because the distance was too far to go. While these ehangres eaused us some inconvenience, nevertheless, we profited by them for they gave us more reereation and out-door fun. It also showed that we eould overcome the work of the Fates and, too, we realized and appreciated more fully what we had lost. Thinking of the misfortunes we have encountered and the obstacles we have overcome, aided by -others, we realized how kind and generous are the friends who gave us the use of thir ehurehes, without a moment 's hesitation. And we trust that our action and our care of these buildings that we have occupied will, in a measure, show our benefaetors our deep gratitude and appreeia.tion -of what they have so readily given us. These buildings rank next. to B. H. S. in our hearts, and will be classed by us as our Step Alma-Matersi' forever. ...Y J
