Our Yesterdays BHS Class History In the fall of 1918 thirty-one intelligent Freshmen entered the Berne High School. In the beginning of the year the Seniors found it necessary to initiate us into our new school life. Early in the year we elected Nelson Sc hug president; Faye Foreman vice-president; Eva Worline, secretary, and Laura Reusser treasurer. During the year two of our classmates dropped out. After nine months of hard work we were again free from the hardships of school life. The next fall we entered as Sophomores. All of our class of the last year returned except three. Alton Ray, Frieda Sprunger. and Priscilla Stauffer. One new member. Erna Sprunger. was added. During the year two of our members. Nelson Scliug and Gladys Marshall, dropped out. During the year a few parties were held, which were enjoyed immensely by all. Then came our most prosperous year, the Junior year. During this year we made use of our surplus energy by putting out the “Budget. Helen At . Carre 11 Liddv. Luella McC luin and Eva Worline did not return to school. During the first part of the school year Naomi Schindler went to Van Xuys. California. Erna Hirschy is attending school at Plainwell, Michigan. This year we received our class rings and pins. Also our pennants of blue and gold. One of our classmates, Dennis Moser, went to the Senior class with whom he will graduate this spring. We held a farewell party for Denny at the home of Mary Ann Ha’ egger. At the same time we gained one new member. George Harris. The members of the Junior class have worked for their own Literary societies and proved to be a great help. In athletics our class boys and girls stand among the best. In basketball they have shown their skill of which we as Juniors and students of of the B. II. S. can be proud. F. F. '22. 1 Twenty-Two 1

Timid and green and tree. We chartered a ship from the B. H. S. And christened her May ’23.” With plentiful ballast of sage advice We trimmed our eager sails. And loosed our cables and sped away In the teeth c f the fresh'ning gales. Our jolly crew are staunch and true. And guided by their hopes. They worked their sails right merrily. When once they knew the ropes. We found us soon in grievous storms, A rain of questions poured. And from the wet and slippery decks, A few fell overhoard. And when the rocks and reefs uprose, Some shuddered with remorse, And trembling to the pilot ran And begged to change their course. Two more years are yet before us. Then on the deeper blue we'll sail. But through the wind—‘the gale. The shouts arise o’er land and sea. Look! at the worth of “June. ’23.” M. B., ’23. [ Twenty-Four 1
