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.

THE CANOE- Romance of a Freshman And it came to | a. s that, on the fifth day of the ninth month of the vear. a little Freshie entered this marvelous place of learning in the town of Berrien Springs on the l»ank of the river St. Joseph. And when he entered, he looked all round and alsiut him and marvelled at what he saw. Then this little Freshie liehekl a Sophomore approaching and his soul was filled with glee to see such a wonderful character. He fell down on his face saying. “I pray thee, what can I do to lieconie a member of this institution? And the Soph sjjake unto him saying. Get thee hence into the study hall up on the third floor and enroll. We will show thee tonight at the fourth hour how to liecome a member.” And the little Freshie wondered at all these sayings. All through the day. Jackie wandered here and there, to and from classes enlisting help from the dignified and accomplished Seniors to show him whither he should go. He was very learned now. for when night came he knew where all the pictures, drinking fountains, and trophies that were collected together in this building. It hap] ened at the fourth hour in the afternoon he was out in the front of the school building waiting to Income a memlter. Then came this learned hunch of Sophs, and did take Jackie with the other Freshies and they did go to the Grove on Chapin I ake in this town. Here they washed Jackie's face with wet leaves and when they had washed one side of his face .he turned the other side also to l e washed. And when they had laughed and made merry, they were hungry, but no one had thought of refreshments, so they were liewildered. Finally one girl gave them five weenies, three buns, and one dill pickle. The multitude did eat thereof and were filler!. About the sixth hour, they did go home hilariously singing. “Xintynine green liottles a-hangin' on the wall. And the little Freshie saith unto his mother as he strutted in. “Day by day. in every way, I'm growing wiser and wiser.” And she did smile and say. “I thought perchance, you might l e. but l e of good cheer for if thy head can stand it without bursting for two more vears. there is hope.” MM of ‘27 OFFICERS Page twenty-tight
