IVe are glad to have climbed this last steep hill, And 'will enter the future 'with a new thrill. It is hard, we acknowledge to pass out of school; But we’ve promised to follcrw the old rule, And do our best in the future so near, To cheer the students of another year. Our motto is glue, stick tight, and hold fast And our minds are filled with memories of the past; Our hands work freely, day by day, To solve the problems that stand in our way. We thank our dear faculty, for their helping hand, And will follow their instructions in any land. So by their kind help, we six as one, Are united together, and our life’s race is run. We will not have to leave as our 'work is complete, But we wish to assure you that it isn't conceit. For deep in our hearts we repine to go And face the strange faces of those we don’t know. We hope you are progressing as you’ve always been And that you’ll wade through the studies, thick and thin So adieu, we are closing the door to pass; Now, may God be with you—The Senior C lass. —A.

To the Hoard of Education we leave the right to send their children to Dexter High School. To the janitor we leave, at last, the door keys. Tq Miss Baskin we bequeath the swimming pool in the new High School building to be used as her private bath tub. We direct that the sum of 51.13 be set aside for Dennis Walker, for the purpose of purchasing one jar of ‘‘Stay Comb” and one jar of Massage Cream, which we notice he has badly lacked during this term. We devise that the Junior Class be appointed executors of our estate; but require that they be placed under a bond of 59,999, owing to the fact that there are several male members in the class whose characters are questionable To Mr. Vick we solemnly bequeath our “shiekv ways” anl “sissy ideas.” Furthermore: I, Mary Machen. will my ability to read fast to Ruby Tuttle; also my peculiar laughter and wit to the rest of the Junior Class, as there is plenty for all shared equally; and. last, my ability to bluff the teachers, to Gladys Brock. I, William Harmon, will my winning ways and motto, “Silence is Bliss,” to Inez Barney; my most cherished and affectionate friend, Evadna Dickerson, to Mavres Jones; and all my dignity td Landen Brown, not that he needs it now, but might as a Senior. I, Yewell Lawrence, leave my ability to make E’s to Faye Hopkins, believing she might appreciate it; to Norma Black I leave my babish ideals and childish ways; and to Evadna Dickerson I will my high forehead, which denotes brains. I, Clarence Perkins, do abdicate in favor of Joe Nickols, my throne of honor, as being the most alert and active of students in Algebra Class; to Clarence Riley I will my right to take the Junior girls car-riding at any time; and to Floy Nichols I leave all my Whiz Bangs and other ten-cent novels, that gave me the inspiration to become a great poet. I, Anson Barney, bequeath to Mavres Jones my perfect aim at the goal, especially when shooting long shots; to Inez Barney 1 leave the writing of the class poem for the Class of ’26. wishing to keep the honor in the family; and to Joe Nichols 1 will all my earthly possessions, consisting of a pair of dice, a plug of Brown Mule chewing tobacco, and a jackknife. In testimony, whereof, we, the Senior Class, do set our hand and seal this first day of May, nineteen hundred and twenty-five. Signed: The Senior Class .=© Page Sixteen BERNETIAN Senior Class Prophecy A REVERIE To-night I have been sitting alone by the fireside dreaming of days long ago. Twenty years ago to-night, 1 with others — all that were left of our promising class of Freshmen — marched down the aisle of the Baptist Church at Bernie. It was the night of Commencement exercises. That night so long ago we were very proud and happy as we stood and received our diplomas and were congratulated by our many friends. We thought then that we had reached the goal, and that life was just a rosy dream. But, ah! how little we knew of the real trials of life that were awaiting us. If you have patience to listen I will tell you what has befallen each one of us as we have traveled past twenty more milestones since that beautiful night, when we achieved our first triumph. As for myself, I have not much to tell. My life has been a series of disappointments and heartaches. I have accomplished no great deed that will cause my name to lx- remembered in later years. I had no desire for fame. My only ambition was--. My classmates have each accomplished something noteworthy. Yewell Lawrence, who was “shiek of the whole High School remained a bachelor. His only love affair took place during our High School days. It would be unjust to mention the girl's name, for she was innocent. I suppose she was too young to realize that he really loved her. She went away to college and married another man, and Yewell was left alone. But he soon settled down and in a short period of ten years was nationally known as a prominent lawyer. Once 1 visited New York on election day and Yewell had been elected governor of that state. As lie passed along the street, throwing SI0.00 bills to the people who were shouting his name, he saw me and said, “Hello Sa- mantha.” As I was returning from New York, the train was wrecked and I was seriously injured. 1 was rushed to a large hospital in St. Louis, and three days later, when 1 recovered consciousness I recognized William Harmon, the leading physician of that place. 1 was sure glad to see an old friend in that lonesome place and the nurse in charge told me that I owed my life to him. That made twice lie had saved my life for I would certainly have been killed if he had not helped me on that cold winter day long ago when we were taking calisthenics and I fell on the slippery side walk. William is living his life for others and each day he brings happiness to someone. Such a life shall not be lived in vain. @=1. Page Seventeen E BERNETIAN There were only two more: Clarence Perkins and Anson Barney. An- son had always meant to be a poet and has followed that calling. He wrote the class poem for the annual the year in which we were graduated. I-ast year he was appointed “Poet Laureate” of America, such an honor as is accorded to very few people. Now, please don't misunderstand me. Anson is not a long-haired poet of the Latin quarter. He is an ordinary person and in the awful war, which has just closed, he attained the rank of Major. His poems are read in every land and tales of his wondrous deeds of valor are told in hushed voices by the fireside, in the light of the dying embers. 1 am always proud to say. “Yes, he was an old school-mate of mine.” Now for the last one— Clarence Perkins, the careless, happy-go-lucky boy, has developed into a wonderful genius. Only three years ago he perfected his machine for com- munication with Mars. This won, for him, fame which will never die with the passing of time and as his invention comes to be used more it will be one of the greatest of the world. There is no doubt that people in the tentli century from now will speak of this as the “Perkins’ Age. Now my story is finished — The fire is burning low and my eyes are dim with tears as I recall again those happy days at dear old Bernie High. —M. M. CAN YOU IMAGINE? Chester—proposing to a Malden High School girl? Mr. Vick—taking short steps? Ruby Tuttle—crying? Virginia—not looking at Rolrert? Everett—missing a problem? Howard—winning a foot race? William—sitting with a girl? Yewell—being a lawyer? Homer—being a star player? Speed—wearing short trousers? Dorothy—without powder and paint? Si—talking to a girl? Homer—coming to school every day? Page Eighteen THIRD Y EA K rv D E COS D YEA a FIRST YEAR CD p JUNIORS BERNETIAN Junior Class Organization Floy Nichols Dennis Walker Ruby Tuttle MayresJones President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Junior Class History When the Freshman Class of 1922-23 entered old Bernie High, there was twenty- eight in number. And we were not the freshiest freshies that ever entered this school. Soon after our entrance one of our members entered the field of matrimony, thinking that would be happier than school work. During the first part of the year we were, very shy of the other classes and tried to stay out of their wav; but we were destined to be a very important class in school, as our’s was about the largest. We soon became very popular with the Junior and Senior classes; but the Sophomores thought that they were of more importance. We certainly complied with our motto that year. “Beginners, but Winners,” and had a very good time attending parties and outings. Our first year in high school was enjoyed by all mem- bers of the Freshman Class. The second year 1923-24 we became Sophomores and not until then did we realize our importance. But at the beginning of this year our class numbered only twenty-three and in the mid-part of the year one more dropped out; but the vacancy was filled by a student from another school, who was welcomed by all. We had a very happy time that year, never having any trouble among ourselves or with any of the other classes. It was during this year that old Bernie High dis- covered the “honest to goodness” worth of us. They found that we were loyal to her and to each other and that we would always stick to each other in fight or fun. We were also true to our motto. “B3.” The third year of our career 1924-25 the Junior Class was accounted as the most popular class in Bernie High School. Still our class maintained the same number, al- though two dropped out at the beginning there were two more to fill the vacant places. This leaves us as one of the largest classes in school, of which we are very proud; also our class make up most of the basket ball teams this year. We are clinging to our motto, “Forward, ever; Backward, never.” There is nothing in our record that we are sorry of; but there are many things that we are proud of. —E. S.

Hoping to reach our goal some day. We are proud to be part of an assembly Who are laying their future life's plans And we follow as the faculty leads us For surely our success lies in their hands. To our dear faculty we're thankful For their helpful and guiding hand For we plainly see it’s leading us To a better and more prosperous land. Since the time we enrolled at Fertile Hi We have been, as a body, one; A nd always at the end of each term We find that, the hard struggle, we’ve won. 7 here has been many obstacles in our path. But all have been mastered with a will; And to gain our position at the top. We are steadily climbing the hill. Though our work is note partially completed We expect to keep striving to gain I he place in the world, which waits for us. 1 hen we’ll realise our work is not vain. When you've learned that we've done our best To gain the reward God's giving, We hope you'll agree with us and say I hat life is really worth living. —F.. M. Page Twenty-six BERNETIANf How Came These Sophs? One Year Ago Twenty-nine little Freshies, wondering of their fate, One was flunked—there were twenty-eight. Twenty-eight little Freshies looking up to heaven, One stubbed his toe—there were twenty-seven. Twenty-seven little Freshies in an awful tlx. Death claimed one—there were twenty-six. Twenty-six little Freshies, earnestly did strive, One couldn’t mike it—there were twenty-five. Twenty-five little Freshies. wise as of yore; One lost her heart—there were twenty-four. Twenty-four little Freshies, cute as they could be. One so cute she left us—there were twenty-three. Twenty-three Freshmen, with all they could do. One couldn’t make it—there were twenty-two. Twenty-two Freshmen, basking in the sun, One became freckled—there were twenty-one. Twenty-one Freshmen look like a plenty. One left town—then there were twenty. Twenty noble Freshmen, all very fine. One went to work—then it’s ten and nine. Of these Freshies there were nineteen, John was always dreaming—then only eighteen. Eighteen Freshmen still they survived. One tried to preach—leaving twelve and five. Five and twelve Freshmen—pretty I ween, Each one professed to be sixteen. Sixteen Freshmen, good and straight and clean. Then Vernon left us—trying to capture a queen. Fifteen Freshmen looking very green, Donald is a merchant—leaving fourteen. Fourteen Freshmen ’tis plain to be seen, One dropped out—leaving unlucky thirteen. Thirteen Freshmen left on the shelf, Leota grew wise—leaving only twelve. Now for the remainder of the class! We maintain that this Sophomore Class is the smartest, brightest and prettiest individually and collectively that the school has ever known. Hershel and Israel are our “Mutt and Jeff” and they play the part to perfection. As usual Israel, as Jeff, is patient and long suffering, but is always victorious. Ellis has the clearest conscience of any member of the class, as he can sleep peace- ably through every class recitation. Earl Riley is the Harold Lloyd of our class; i. e. he is “girl shy”—mamma’s bashful boy. Chester aspires to succeed Charlie Chaplin on the screen. He is always doing something he deems funny and sometimes the class thinks so too. M. A. is the Jack Dempsey of the class, always looking for a scrap. Howard is the Euclid of the class. He can solve anything in mathematical science, and like Goldsmith’s “Village Teacher,” “E’en though wrong he can still demonstrate,” for only a few days ago he proved that parallel lines meet. Maurine is the baby of the class and everyone sees to it that her bottle is kept warm and her rattle handy. Bonnie is the would-be beauty of the class and keeps her hair in curl and her heart in readiness. Goldie is the midget of the class; but she insists that the old adage is correct: “The choicest goods are wrapped in the smallest packages.” As a modern flapper. Martha makes Coleen Moore look like a wilted rose after a ball. Ruth is a bright student and a preacher’s daughter; but not so good. She is a great story teller, both in literature and daily life. R.

We were just a little frightened and somewhat awed at the other classes. Some time passed before we went into real work and about this time Mary married, Ruth moved to Dexter, and Oral, wanting to liecome a cow-puncher, went to Texas. These pupils, by leaving, slackened our work. However, during the second quarter a new pupil entered our class and we resumed our journey. We were represented on the basket-ball teams and furnished most of the volley ball stars. We also participated in one play. And would you believe it? we were registered on the school honor roll for exceptionally good work. Our chief aim was, not altogether for1 the advancement of ourselves, but to strive to do our part in making Bernie have a better High School. B. D.

Although this was his first year to play, he made a real forward, and the opposing guards didn’t like the job of keeping him covered, near the basket. Roy Brown—Forward Weight. 125 lbs.—Height, 5 ft., 8 in. This was Roy’s first year on the team; but he put forth great effort. He made a success of dodging his guard and was sure of scoring. He will hold his position as forward on the team next year. Anson Barney—Center Captain Weight, 154 lbs.—Height. 6 ft. Anson was the star player this year; he could guard, jump center, or forward with equal ease. lie was the mainstay of the team; but this is his last year and the boys of B. H. S. regret to see him go. It will be hard to find another captain with the ability that Capt. Anson displayed in the games of this season. Landen Brown—Guard Weight, 136 lbs.—Height, 5 ft., 11 in. Landen played a wonderful game this year. He was a new man on the team, but he made good and is expected to hold his position as guard next year. Everett Mills—Guard Weight. 165 lbs.—Height, 5 ft., 11 in. This was Everett’s second year to play for B. 11. S. He never allowed his man to enjoy an open shot at the basket in any game. He is a sticker and will be a star player on the team next year. se£) c Page Thirty-eight BERNETIAN Lonnie B. Harmon—Forward Weight, 120 lbs.—Height, 5 ft., 7J4 in. Lonnie was a Freshman but came out and worked hard. He is little, but loud and has three more years to serve on the B. H. S. team. Dennis Walker—Guard Weight, 150 lbs.—Height, 5 ft., 11 in. Dennis played a real game at guard. He had very little to say and went after his man like a real soldier. This was his first year on the team and he fought hard for victory. William Harmon—Guard Weight, 130 lbs.—Height, 5 ft., 6 in This is Bill’s last year on the team and the B. H. S. boys hate to see him go. He was a real guard and was always in the thickest of the fight. Roscoe Quinn—Forward Weight, 150 lbs.—Height, 5 ft., 10 in. Roscoe was a good forward on both the offensive and defensive. He left the team before many games were played and was very much missed by all. James F. Vick—Coach It was the ability to teach and the knowl- edge of the game that Mr. Vick displayed that enabled the boys of B. H. S. to reach success. We feel that we owe our train- ing and success to him. Page Thirty-nine Girls’ Basketball Here s to the tern of ’25 They were winners true; Here’s to the team of ’26, May they be winners too. The Girls Basket Ball team have completed their record season for B. H. S. Good teams have come and good teams have gone; hut none have met with the success that the team of 25 has had.

She held her position like a Western, being a good shot and always full of pep. She was also a good captain and led the team to success. Fredi a Wixc iester—Forward '“Fred” Fredda was one of the team’s most able players. She fought hard for the ball and was sure to score. She has one more year to play on the B. H. S. team and she is expected to be a star player. Kvadxa Dickirson—Center “Vad” Thi is “Vad's second year on the team and by her jumping ability, height, and teamwork she has proved to be the best center B. 11. S. has ever known. Opai. Anderson—Guard “Cutie” This is Opal’s first year ; but she held the position as guard as though she had done it for years. She was in the game at all times and never gave up. She will be seen on the team for the next three years. Page Forty-one 3C=— BERNETIAN Ruby Puttle—Ccn ter “JOF.” I f a better running center is desired, one will have to look a long time for her. 1’his is “Joe’s” second year on the team; but her quick floor-work assures us that it will not be her last. Juanita Samples—Guard “Chubby” Juanita has developed into a wonderful guard. She is a great help to the team and will be found as one of its members again next year. Her quick work and ability to guard is excellent. Ruth Baskin—Coach Miss Baskin has wonderfully developed a real Girl's Basketball Team this year. She was always with the team in all the games. And it was by her help that led the team to success. Page Forty-two c a ORGANIZATIONS 1 E BERNETiAN 3!

Anson—That’s nothing, my brother is so tall that he has to get down on his knees to scratch his head. BERNETIAN William—You say you fell down stairs? Anson—Yep. William—How come?
