Paul Laubach, Jr., President Joseph Hess, Jr., Treasurer Jarius Harrison, Vice President Elizabeth Kessler, Secretary l THE SENIOR HISTCRY 'Twas in the Fall of seventeen, 'llhat a class of youngsters fresh and green Entered- High School at B. V. S. Youngsters, ye-t determined to do their best. Their number was hut thirty-three, Wlhen Prof. had counted all, Yet, as you could plainly see, They bravely mvaoched into iStudy I-Ialll, English, Latin -and Algebra, They soon learned 'to do, But, as to their cali-ber, Upper classmen learned tuhat too! But -the winter ,passed away, An'd soon the Spring hvad come, With it came the closing day, And the Freshies were let run. Butt, when their vacation ended, iTo their studies they did turn, And as Siophomores, their work attended, ,And many good marks they earned. A party for tlhe Freshies did they give, And received one from them too, And so they continued to live Even throwgh the epidemic of lElu. Soon the w'inter'passed them iby, And Spring came dancing along, Then Cupid this Harrow let Hy, As Lightly as the ,blue 2bird's song. But the Sophiomores laurels won, lAs So-plhies usually doy In their work, play, or fun, Just for ear:-ying it through. Now :when Juniors they came to be In the Fall of nineteen, Their number was but twenty-three, And one of these was lank and lean, Some members of this class To miatrimony had turnedg While others let that pass 'Till some money they had earned. But one had leftt this little band Who would return-ah nevermore For she was led by the Master's hand, Safely to the other shore. Wuhile with Contest and Year B00k too. Those Jfuniors were kept busy, The trials that they passed through, Would make old Caesar dizzy. But Seniors, they have come to be, And muclh wiser, too, they say: But if you think they're care-free Just ask one 'of them someday. Ah! Soon their cares will be gone, And their troubles all will Hee, Then the Class of '21 Shall he, ibut a memoryg But until that day shall come When they must separate at last, T1hey'll be known to every one, As the Angelic Senior Class. Aye, this is their history, And a strange one too, I wean, But yet I know. you will agree 'They're all true to the White and Green. -EVELYN PFITERMAN. VITAE THE J UN IDRS ROBERT B. HOSLER ...........

When it comes to singing we've got 'em beat, The folks all run to get a seat. The Boys, Champions in a League maybe, Just Watch the items in the Press and see.

George, Dale and Ross are always around, Wherever there are any girls to be found, Ruth, Martha and Gladys Are three very fine maids, With studying, cooking, and sewing Their respective trades. Omar and Mahlon two studious boys, Have no cares but only joys. Mary and Maud are slim and tall, And are sharks at playing Volley-Ball. Relza, Jay and Karl are such handsome young men Whose lives in the school 'room a warfare has been Evada and Edna from Raven Creek come, And are always ready for laughter and fun Alfred and Elmer seldom say a word, While Clayton and Harold always are heard Emily and Emma in a Dodge take rides, While Edith just looks on and sighs. Glen, Harland and Ben who are quiet boys When roused can make a powerful noise. Hilda and Mary are gentle and meek, And always success are trying to seek. We have a John from the east, And a John from the west, And each is trying to do his best. Elizabeth and Zora, both Winsome lasses, Are sure to be heard from their classes. So here's to the Class of '23, Working where'er they may be, Always striving for success, To uphold the fame of dear B. S.

Any one can tell, Up to the front, and to the right, Please to ring the bell. What do you see in the Freshman Class? Little folks in green, Downy heads and eyes of blue, Faces calm and serene. What do they do in the Freshman Class? Dream, a little work, and play, Laugh and crow, shout and grow, Jolly times have they. What do they say in the Freshman Class? Why,-the oddest things, Might as well try to tell What the Freshman sings. Who is the president of the Freshman Class? A boy, kind and tall, And his love, born above, Guides the Freshies all. --LOLA ASH. 20 VITAE SENIOR DRAMA NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH The annual Senior Drama of our 'Vocational School was presented on the evenings of April fourteenth and fifteenth, nineteen hundred and twenty-one. Owing to the epidemic of mumps the dr from March third and fourth. ama had to be postponed The drama was one of the big successes of the year due to the good Work of the characters and much credit is e specially due to Miss Rob- ins, the coach whose untiring work made the drama the success it was.

Other activities of the year to raise funds for the Association are the Hallowe'en program and the Minstrels. A strong Basket Ball team was formed, under the diligent coaching of Mr. Ward McHenryg but owing to the lack of competing teams we were unable to secure a full schedule. Tl. boys playing were: Forwards-George Laubach, Robert Hos- ler, Max Bittenbenderg Guards-Alton Hess, Mahlon Strauchg Centre- Edward Laubach. Only two games were scheduled, these with the fast Sonestown quintette of which we won both. Scores: 22 VITAE ATHLETICS, CONTINUED .
