JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Frank H. Vandiver President Peter J. Crompton Secretary-Treasurer COLORS: BLUE AND GOLD In the blithe month of September in the Year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifteen, when Boreas sends forth his biting blast now and then to remind us of the winter that is to come and the Grim Visaged Pedagogue casts a gloom over the enjoyment that one might have had during his or her vacation, there might have been seen a very nervous group of young boys and girls, which we are forced to confess contained many of our now browned and lined countenances, wandering about the streets wit a sort of lost look. On a certain day in the aforesaid kind of month and in the aforesaid year, the Class of ’19 star ed on its memorable voyage over that rough and uncerfa n road wh ch leads in time to the most sought for of all prizes, “A Sheepskin. ” Our first year was without much excitement except those of getting lost in the halls and other such minor happenings. Our “Soph” year was one of the most exciting and eventful that one might wish ever to encounter, for it was during that year that we had our pride taken down a notch, when the Class of ’20 defeated us in the “Sack Pulling” contest, and it was then that we lost the man who is dear to every student of B. C. H. S., Mr. Larrick. It was then that a very able man came to us in the person of C. Allen Hogle, but his stay with us was short and he is now in the most glorious occupation that a man can enter, that of serving his Country and his Flag. In the year just drawing to a close very little excitment has taken place, owing to the ban placed on the Eats by Hoover and other somewhat unpleasant things, and this year has been for us one continual round of Study, Study, Study. But we have felt content in so doing, for we know we are helping “Lick the Kaiser.” And now, after the brief span of these three short years in which we have made many “Drives” we find ourselves about to go “Over The Top” into that most enviable land of Seniordom.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY By John Moore Margaret McIntosh-------------------------President Kenneth Farrington Vice-President Beatrice Lee Secretary Frank Hardy Treasurer It was about the first of September, 1916, when we entered that spacious edifice, located in the west end of Las Animas, and generally known as the Bent County High School. Since we were green, and the halls were new, we were lost several times. We knew that we were in the halls, and we knew how to get out of them, but that was the extent of our knowledge. About the time we were going nicely, along came the Sophs and we had a scrap on our hands. This was a slight sack contest, which we won. The Sophs forever held their peace. This comprised our first year in High School. On the morning of the fourth of September last, we marched to that same building for our second year. The birds were singing, the grass was green, and everything was just right. It always is the first day. A small flag contest was started, but owfing to the fact that the flagpole was the only thing handy, and that being made to hold Old Glory, we refrained from any violence. Raymond Kuntz was elected President. When Raymond left for the Navy, Margaret McIntosh was elected to take his place.
