EMORIES! How many do these stately portals hold in secret? If they could only tell,of some of the experiences they have witnessed as the thousands of feet have pounded through them seeking the knowledge concealed within. lt seems that only a short time ago we meekly entered this great opened entrance and advanced into unknown quarters for a given term of four years of knowledge. During the years that swiftly passed by, we encountered many difficulties and experienced many pleasures. However, we survived all problems through the aid and encouragement of our comrades and of our able faculty. As each graduating class passes through these portals for the last time, they sigh regretfully, for losing a group so jolly, patient, and understanding. Each one going alone into the dense beyond with few comrades to cheer them and no teacher to guide them, maybe to forget the portals, maybe to forget the good times had within and beneath them. Now that the time has come for the Class of 1935 to bid adieu to the memor- able doors for the last time and to glance once more at them, these words might be heard in the clanking of the doors, Goodbye, Good Luck in the Great Beyond. Don't forget us or what you have learned within. XX FACULTY MR. CHARLES H. VANCE, MR. LELAND S. MILLS .,.. . MRS. ELSIE B. BALL .. MR. HUBERT BLAIR MISS OLIVE CARRUTHERS MRS. EVA L. EATON ..,. , MR.

We are just completing a voyage of four years on the sea of learning which has been Very profitable to all. During these four years, we have had many able pilots to steer us over rough waters. In the fall of 1931, a group of 193 passengers boarded the ship BDI-IS . Bob johnson was our efficient captain, together with Frieda Marshall, Melvin Pierson, and Janet Beckham, assisting to keep us well organized. We were often accused by other passengers in higher classes as being a bit sea' . But after becoming accustomed to the ship and the daily routine we out-grew this d accepted the official name Freshmen . On Washington's birthday, a ball for all Freshmen was held in the reception room, at which we all had a grand time. Then the evening before going ashore for a vacation of four months, a hard-time party was given for all passengers. This completes one-fourth of our voyage. . Vacation is over! It is time to go on board the ship. We lost some passengers but also acquired some new ones. There are still 155 of us. This year, we chose as our cap-- tain, Virgil Schoettlin and his co-workers, Mary Stonebraker, George Hiatt, and Ruth Harris. We have a feeling of importance now, as we are no longer called Freshies but can call the new passengers that. Our new name is Sophomores . We had a party at which all had an enjoyble time. ltis time to go ashore again for a short vacation. A farewell party was given for all passengers at which the girls' came attired in gingham dresses and the boys in overalls. We danced and played bunco and refreshments were served. After anchoring at this port, we still have two years to complete our voyage. It is the fall of 1933 and we are shoving off for the third year of our trip. There are 125 of us and we are called Juniors . The Captain is George Hiatt, first-mate is Ruby Bingman, second-mate is Mary Stonebraker, and third-mate is Wilber Bohannon. This is a year of good times. A Hallowe'en party was given for Juiniors and Seniors. A good time was had by all. On April 6th, the juniors had the honor of entertaining the Seniors and their guests at a reception. Every one had a grand time. Again a farewell party was given before anchoring. Three-fourths of our destined route is completed. After going shore, the Juniors and Seniors had a picnic at Flat Rock, on June 10th. Here it is September 8, 1934 and we are once more at sea. There are 104 of us, but with the 12 B's there is a total of 115. We see smooth waters ahead and hope that no accidents occur. We are now called Seniors aind of course, we are dignified. Our cap- tain is Richard Keck and assisting him is Frieda Marshall, Virgil Schoettlin, and Anna Lee Craigle and council of four members. At a Junior and Senior I-Iallowe'en party, nearly everyone came masked and much fun was had in the grand march. We danced and refreshments were served. We were the guests of the Juniors at a reception given in our honor. Everyone enjoyed themselves. We are nearing the last port. A farewell party was given for all passengers and our last one. too. And then for class clay and many tears and fond farewells. Our four years' cruise has ended. During this time, we have been delayed by icc- bergs and terrific storms, which we thought perhaps disastrous but we have arrived all safe and full of knowledge. May our Life Cruise be as successful as this one and the Ship prosper in its years to come. FINIS 4 6 X I ft I L L X ds. f, ,J SIE MAX KECK Our I'l't'SIlit'lII.

X gtiifiilg., t F A - 1935 CLASS JPRUP IECY S I was walking nonchalantly down the street one day, I saw a ladder leaning against a building. Now I never did believe that superstitious idea that you would have bad luck if you walked under a ladder so as it was just in my path I walked under it as though it were not even there. Alas, though, iust as I stepped from under the ladder a brick came flying through the air and hit me on the head and knocked me unconscious. While I was in this condition, however, I was able to look into the future U years and see how the graduating class of 1935 would be spending their time. I was walking down the street when I met a minister, Charles Elrocl, who was jilted by Frances Armstrong, talking to a very grouchy fellow who was none other than Carl Wollenweber. He said that Harold Trulock owns a newspaper and that he employs Kelvin Perry, Merle Ray and Vernon Stevens as reporters. At the corner l bought a newspaper and saw that Bill Rutledge who owns a cabaret is featuring those famous dancing girls, Ila South, Janice Robey, Ruth Zeilinga, Florence Thomas, and Elsie Totman. I saw in the paper that Russell Evans and Maynard Farris were proprietors of a night club where Frances Cameron, Betty Ferrell, Helen Deputy, and Thelma Bell are chorus girls. The leading attraction on that night's program was the renowned dance team of Roy Carpenter and Francis Burns. lt seemed that the two night clubs are engaged in a price war and you can reserve a table now for only fifty dollars. Upon glancing at the sport sheet, I saw two names which I recognized, Jabbing Jimmy Walker, and Battling Bill Brownlee. The article says that' Brownlee had just won the world's iight- weight championship while Walker, who is a very promising fighter, had made one promise too many. He was being sued for a breach of promise by a prominent society woman, Ruth King. Continuing my walk, I overheard a conversation between Bob Tucker and his wife, the former Alyce Louise Smith. He said that Isabelle Zimmer, Estella Erton, Margaret Dowdell, Jessie Taylor 'md Harriet Roush had formed an old maids club and were doing very commendable work for an ur- phans home. Mrs. Tucker said that she heard that Vera Thompson, Audrey Willis, Ruth Sprecklemeyer, Virginia Smoyer and Wildenc Seaver have entered a convent. Immediately after passing them, my eye was caught by a news bulletin in a window. It seemed that the big heart balm scandal involving Hazel Shaw, Martha Ranck, and those two well-known play- boys, Will'am Rowe and Laverne Puyear, is to be tried on the morrow by that famous judge of the court of domestic relation, Walter Richart, and the attorneys for the defense and prosecution are Helen Slifnkle and Dsrothy Rash, respectively. . When I finished reading the bulletin I saw three of those famous men in white-street cleaners. They were Russell Allen, Charles Archer and Robert Archer. Suddenly I saw a large crowd -if beautiful girls approaching and in the center of them was none other than Billie Burke. On the other side of the street was a huge sign, advertising the Beauty Shoppe of those two suc- cessful business men, Kenneth Dowden and Carl Bloomer. As I looked at the sign, Earl Finchum and Wayne Bush come out of the door, followed by two ladies, Bessie Beckenbaugh and Margaret Brownlee, who seem to be flirting with them. I crossed the street and upon looking into the beauty shoppe, I saw Anna Lee Craigle applying a mud pack to the face of Marcella Dishman, Janet Beckham who had replaced jean Harlow, was reading a magazine while waiting for her daily beauty treatment. Mary Helen Gray was also working in the beauty shop as cashier. 'I came to a park and sat for awhile on a bench. And, as I sat there, I saw a couple approaching and as they passed me, I recognized johnny Bier and Elizabeth Bickerton who were deeply immersed in marital bliss. Feeling refreshed I continued through the park. In the shade of a large tree sat Russell Curtis and the Blank sisters-Virginia and Irma. They were both dallying their loops but Cupid had not yet made up his mind. In another part of the park were two park policemen, Ernest Myers and Lawrence Leonard, who were engaged in a game of dice. -..gf 17 CLASS RUP lECY As I left the park I passed a circus and I saw Clyde Lackey who was an excellent, good punchin- ello because of his ability to select and wear the many rainbow hued colors in his clothing. In one of the tents was Madam Lines, formerly known as Ruth, who was then the greatest fortune teller of the present decade. I entered her tent and learned from her that james Franklin and Raymond Price were now in a Hollywood studio where they could see all the beautiful women such as Eunice Reichard and Wynona Taylor who were now famous screen stars. I sallied forth from the tent and after a short walk I saw a number of shanties along the banks of the Sioux River. I decided to look into the village and upon approaching the shanties I heard familiar voices. They belong to Marie Sears, Wilbur Bohanon, Mary Stonebraker and Leonard Francis who had all set sail upon the stormy sea of matrimony. The next door neighbors were Ruby Bingman, George Hiatt, Lynetta Reeves and Virgil Schoettlin who had also been joined by the tie that binds. I left the river road and walked down the main business section of the town. By this time, I had grown very thirsty and stepped into one of the cafe's to quench my thirst. All of the tables were full but one and a very nicely dressed and good-looking gentleman was occupying this one alone, so I went over to ask his permission if I might accompany him and who should it be but Mr. C. J. Stembel, our 1955 class sponsor. I was very delighted upon seeing him. I told him about every one I had seen during my walk an:l asked him if he could tell me what the remaining members of the class were doing. He said he could. He told me that Virginia Frantz, Macel Gardner and Mildred Gipson are directors of a Women's Frock Shop in Chicago. Velma Hampton is a sophisticated teacher of typing at the famous Ben Davis High School. V Ruth Harris and Freida Marshall are ladies of leisure, belonging to the aristocratic society of New York. Mildred Horne is a noted and honored writer of fiction for the leading magazine of Europe, The Henk Horn. Louise johantges, Helen Lockridge are just two typical old maids of the St. Mary's Hospital staff of nursery. Marjory Miller and Louise McClelland both are private secretaries to the President of the United States and they received their training when secretaries for Mr. Vance. Randall Jordan and Robert Killman are still sleeping and playing hookey. Max Keck is now doing the house work while his wife earns the money to run the house. George Knoebel and Fred Kleis are called upon by the men running for a political job when they want someone to make a wonderful speech. Ruth Owens, due to her success in basketball is the coach of the girls' basket ball team that won the national title this year. Myrtle Lake and Mildred Lanham and Edith Lee are matrons at the largest, the greatest, and the best high school in the western part of the U. S.--Ben Davis. George Leindecker said he was still waiting for Wilma Miley to grow up so they could get married. Norma Lentz and Mary Prater are still running around together-in fact they married Siamese twin brothers so they could be together always. George Linn has his name advertised as come get a laugh by hearing the world's funniest man telling the cocky escapades of his life . james Loutt is now a guard in the famous abode for men, Sing Sing . Virginia McClure said she did not want to get married because she did not want to change her name, so when Elden McClure proposed, she accepted, to keep her name and get married also. , Alma McNeeley is considered one of the best tap dancers of the vaudeville world and she is a mem- ber of the William McCreary Show People Company. Albert Pence is a well-known and successful college professor of Oxford University. With the completion of Mr. Stem'bel's speech, I was awakened by a girl in white who told me my head was all right now and that I could continue on my way. In this case of the ladder, again I think it was good luck instead of bad luck, to have walked under it. -..sg 18 ly.. yr.. 5 N x i X - , N M81 l fl Y X ill N , ef ls t JUUNIICOJBZ UL SS i 1 l HIL junior class began a very successful year with 125 students.

The Giants were one of the tallest teams in the sectional tournament with an average height of S ft. 11 in. Because of the loyal supporters of the school and the large rooting section they were able to capture the victory of Sectional Champs for the first time in the history of our school! They played every game in a fair and sportsmanlike manner which has gained for them the good opinion of their opponents. They have placed a mark of distinction and honor upon our school for which we are sincerely indebted.

Because of the increased enrollment in B.D.H.S. this year, a larger Traffic Squad has been named. Credit in traffic work is applied toward graduation as a gym credit. Once each week a traffic court is held. Here, violators of safety rules are tried, and a penalty is imposed. according to the violation. This has done a great deal to curb accidents.
