Class History R. BIEDENBACH, Members of the Faculty, and Fellow students: It is with deepest and most conflicting emotions of joy and regret that I present to you the story of the Class of june, 1921. On that date a victorious career will be completed. The members of this class entered the school in August, 1918, and, though they now conduct themselves With a statuesque dignity, they were once like all mortal scrubs. At such recollec- tions, as' Cicero says, I could weep for tears. Suffice it to say that in time shyness and ignorance have been overcome. When the class first became Middlers they were warned to thirow on the brakes and save all energy for the home run of the Senior year. This advice was not treated carelessly. In this period, intelligence began to be stamped on the countenances of all. Brain cells grew, and, in fact, the extent of knowledge became so vast, that some members were forced to the use of eye-glasses to see it all. During the Middler year the class as a whole did not do things for the individual, but individually labored for the class to enjoy the reputation which is now so closely linked with its name. So it was with proud hearts that they were invited to grace the front seats in ,assemblies-the Senior trade-mark. To prove beyond doubt that they were not to be held by any' ancient rules or customs, the class proceeded to elect a girl president. This proved at the same time that not only boys but girls also can hold executive positions. As Freshmen, the members of the class viewed the Weekly News as a private enterprise, and of no value to them. Now they see it as an activity of the Student Body which many think a most important factor of school life. But further details are not necessary. The story of the largest class to graduate from B. H. S. is ended, and its members will soon begin to take their places in the great world of romance and achievement. Concerning their success I have no fear. In the future they will achieve what they have in the past by laboring earnestly under the banner of service withits sentiment, Each for all.', RECORDING ANGEL of the JUNE CLASS, 1921.
