-—THE CANOE— Class History—Con. Now we are “Jolly Juniors’' with never a care or worry except that one hard subject. Miss Warn, as usual for lucky Juniors, is our class sponsor. The first semester we elected Howard Ingleright. President; Arthur Busse, Vice-president; Doris McNally. Secretary; and Francis Harrington. Treasurer. The second semester: Francis Harrington, President; Arthur Busse. Vice-president; Alden Krause. Secretary; and I raine Dean. Treasurer. We gave the annual High School Party and as it was Hallowe’en, we had a masquerade. Our Junior rings came on the twenty-ninth of November and we surely were the happiest hunch of Juniors that ever were, and especially when Mr. Stewart agreed that they were the best look:ng class rings that he ever saw. Of course we knew they were the l est. hut it's nice to have others say so too. My! But weren’t we proud of our two basketball Captains? Bill Skinner. Captain of the lxiy’s team, and Loraine Dean of the girl’s. Juniors! Think of that! Also we have added another member of our class to Kapjxi Psi. Virginia Palmer, and again we are well represented in the High School Orchestra. Instead of giving the customary class play, we presented the film “The Passion Play” at the theatre which was a decided success. Soon after the banquet we gave the Seniors, our fond hope of being dignified Seniors was realized. J.,ej eis Kathryn Judd. Top Row—A. Iiusse, A. Krause. H. Ingleright, W. Skinner, L. Smith. F. Mason.

I'HE CANOE-— JUNIORS 0 Class History When we entered High School in 1924 as Freshmen, they said that we acted and really were just as green as any hunch of “Freshies” ever were, but as bright, observant children we soon lost some of our greenness, especially at the High School | arty given by the Junior Class. We showed good judgment in choosing Miss Cloney for sponsor and in electing the class officers who were: Victor St. John. President; Kathryn Judd. Vice-President; James French, Secretary; and Frances Harrington. Treasurer. We had our two class parties at which we behaved remarkably well, so you see we were learning. M ilomar (Bill) Skinner liecame our hero on the boy’s basketball team and has l een so ever since. We were equally proud of Loraine Dean and Doris McNally on the girl's team. We. as Sophomores in '25. elected Mr. Conrad sponsor and Kathryn Judd. President; Victor St. John. Vice-President; Frances Harrington, Secretary, and Loraine Dean, treasurer. Me had lost all of that greenish tinge and our upper class-mates acknowledged that we might get to lie Seniors some day. Me had the usual class parties and invited the Freshmen to one of them while they in turn, invited us to one of theirs. The parties were great fun. but of course, we weren’t allowed to initiate the “Freshies much to our disappointment. We still had the same ones plus some more on Ixith the boy’s and girl’s basketloll teams, although | erhaps some of the players were only on the second team, their prospects were g xxl. hen Kappa Psi was organized, two of our class-mates, Frances Harrington, and Kathryn Judd, were invited to join. It might lie added that they promptly accepted the invitation and liecame charter members. OFFICERS Page twenty-four

THE C ANOE-- Class History On Septeml er 7. l' 25. forty-two green Fresies entered tlie “Halls of Knowledge” at old B. S. H. S. After a few days of strict ruling, we knew that gum chewing, sassing the teachers, and whispering were not quite the proper things to do. After settling down to real work, we organized as a class, with Miss Cloney as Advisor. At an “All School Party” given early in Octolier, we were inducted into the mysterious ways of the High School. We. as a Freshman class had many good times together, along with the Latin and Algebra, that first year. Among those to lie rememliered longest, are the two Freshman and Sophomore parties, the Christmas party, and the Freshman Assembly. This year only twenty-five came lack as “Studious Sophs. Although some had chosen other jvaths. two joined us. Mary Fletcher and Max Hamer. Again we had Miss Cloney as our Class Advisor. We furnished our share of students in all the school activities. Dougan played on the first team, while Paul Knight and Richard Jones were on the second team, in lxn’s lwsket hall. Mary Fletcher, and Dorothy Priddy played on the girl’s teams. Roger Robinson was “Star Saxophonist of the orchestra. Margaret Eidson was a Kappa Psi debator. while Jim Haggerty was the all school Cartoonist. We hojie to return next year as “Jolly Juniors” to prove ourselves the liest class ever in old B. S. H.S. Margaret Eidson OFFICERS Page 1 went y-six
