Class of Nineteen Twenty-Two Class Colors—Blue and Gold Class Flower—Yellow Tulip Class Motto— lie conquers who endures The Sophomores saw a path of green. They thought it was a Freshman Class; But, when they nearer to it drew, They saw it was a looking glass. This was quite the case in the fall of 1918 when thirty-one innocents made their first appearance in the Berne I ligh School, for you sec we were not the typical green group of Freshmen. We were an exception to the ordinary Freshman class, and we saw the nine m nths through, with a strong determination to achieve great things. The second year we continued our duties as Sophomores. Although our number had been diminished by five, we kept up our spirits and took an active part in Athletics and Literary work. By tiic third year we changed cur name to Juniors. Twenty members we were, proving that They conquer who endure . This year proved to be a very successful cue in every respect, during which we purchased our class rings and pennants, and also published Tin Budget very ably. Throughout the four-year course we have pursued our studies diligently, and never has the black cloud of disagreement riven our class in twain. We have taken an active interest in all school activities, and our parties, especially the fishing parties, have been whaling? successes. We are new on the last lap of our High School career, and after all is said and done we feel that the time has been well and profitably spent.
