Ifumumit The year 1920-21 has been a year of achievement for B. T. H. S., of which the student body, the faculty and the Board of Education might well feel proud. No school in our knowledge now has a better equipment. Our magnificent plant will ever stand as a monument of progressive school ideals. The gym. which is doubtless one of the very finest in the state, enabled us to secure the 1921 Basketball Tournament and to take care of it better than it was ever cared for before. In Athletics the year has seen us in one instance upon the pinnacle of boundless joy and in the other into the depths of disappointment. But, mind you, we arc just as loyal to our B. B. ‘five” as we are to our F. B. “eleven,” and we feel sure both will be successful next year. The “Scarab is meant to keep alive and show the loyal and true High School spirit of the student to old B. T. H. S., and if this is accomplished we feel that our efforts have not been in vain. The few hard knocks we have received have been largely overbalanced by many happy incidents and associations formed, which, it is hoped, will ever keep the walls of B. T. H. S. sacred to us, and the faces of our teachers a benediction that will never fade from our memory and will help us over the rough places of life's journey. Benton Public Library Dist. 502 S.
