Juno, 1932 Farewell, Farewell, To you I tell, To you the Senior Class, We've gone our way, and done our best And most of us did pass. I'm sure our minds have oft' been wrenched With woeful agony, With Algebra and Mathematics, Then, too, there's History. We've suffered much but now we're through From lessons we must learn, But when we think of those exams, The agonies return. We've gone through woe and misury, Through bitter storm and pain, But, now, et last, weve reached the pass, And see the sun egain. Donald Hoak ''svrsrroi - i HrdrCRT 4' v y ■A-JLLvlng room in a home.

SONNY BOY-------People. Say, mother this story must be about S-E-N, sen, Seniors. Ho re's a picture of one on them. Mother, there must be some of them at school. They look just like this picture. Mother, read me about Seniors. (Sonny Bey takes book over to mother. Moves chair over near mother and listens to her road.) MOTHER: {Reading) Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, nearly twelve years ago, there were some little boys end girls. Thesd little boys and girls did not go to school as you and I do. They were not old enough to go to school. But they wanted to. So their papas and their mammas told them that vjhcn they were six years old they coul d. So one day all of them were six years old. When the school bell rang in the fall of the year, in September I think it was, all of these little boys and girls started off to school, with their books and tablets. The school they went tc was the Berrien Springs Grad School and the name of their teacher was Miss Roth. Maybe if you are not old enough to remember about their teacher your father and mother will remember. Of course those little boys and girls couldn’t read. They couldn’t write either. But their teacher told them If they would try hard and study well, that some day when they got bigger they would go to high school. The little boys and girls wanted to go to high school and play basket ball, and be in plays so they studied for eight long years. Then one day their teachers told them they wore ready for high school. But all of the little boys end girls who started to schoolweren’t ready for high school. Some of them had not studied as hard as they should. Some had moved away from town. And some ether little boys and girls had come to take their places. So of all the little boys and girls left to go to high school there were: Karl Kaiser, Dorothy Bruce, Eloise Staley, Donald Hoak, Jennie Harrington, Ethel Storick, C3.eon Stover, Bob Burke, Fred Dougan, Richard Christl, Harold Gray, Paul Davis, Mary Dean, Alicia Rows, Mara Woolley, and Marion Hogue. Well, when these boys and girls came to high school, they found a lot of other boys and girls who were older then they were. Some of them seemed to know so much more than others. They paraded around looking kignifiod, and sort of lordly like. Now the little boys and girls found out these people had been in high school a long time. Some of their teachers told them that if they would work four hard years they would know a lot too. When the boys and girls went to their classes they found some other boys and girls would be in their classes with them. T esc boys and girls had gone to school in the country. They said their names were: Ed Hass, Lawrence Stover, Helen Shafer, Evelyn Shafer, Donna Brohman, Fred Beveridge, Victor Beveridge, Leonard Kesterke, Gerald SENIOR CLASS HISTORY (CO NT) Weaver, Chester Krause, Geraldine ,retzol, D -le Grahe , Ide Jones, Marian Evens, Virginia Clam. There v ere so many beys end girls in high school that th y gave our group of boys end girls on extra name they called them Freshm n. The Freshmen feudn high schor'l vas sc- much different . ro.m grade school. There were net so man subjects to study; tut they were so much harder. There was one subject that vss the queerest thing. If you didn’t know vhat it was about, you just said, ’’Lot X be it. Then finally you know what the answer was, even though you didn't knew what it was all about. Then there was a subject they called History; but it was all about dates, only not the kind you cat. Afterwhile the Freshmen found that another school year had passed. After vacation whon they wont back to school again they weren’t fresh-men anymore but they were Sophomores. Being a Sophomore was just like being a freshmen only different. A Sophomore thinks he knows so much more than a green, awkward fresh only he doesn't. He just thinks he does, so oun little boys and girls weren’t little anymore; but they were grown up Sophomores. 'Jell, they hod some other funny things to study. They bisected angles, and dissected frogs; but bisecting an angle and dissectin a frog are just as different as eating toadstools and mushrooms. But the Sophomores had r good time being Sophomores. T-ey were glad they had studied hard whon they wore little as their teachers had told them to so they could do to high school. For if they had not gone to high school they wouldn't have had Mr. 7 oino as Superintendent, who is better knows as Sarg. tc the Seniors; Mr. Bodinger to staunch Democratic Politician” who has gigen his advice tc the Seniors about how to start down life's crooked pathway; Mrs. Crittenden who has given some students Fffis but her ability has led many of The Senior Class out of the mire of Failure to Success; Miss Graham the cook, who never spoils the banquets when it com.s to cats; Miss Mann, the coach that puts the spirit into dramatics; Miss Jdsswein, the hit of the commercial department; Professor Georgie Parsons, the harmless red-haired Irishman; Coach Hawkins, the mighty voice of the air; Miss Buell, the expert at the art of preparing exams. Then school was out again and did the boys and girls go home to play? No, they went home to work for they were grown up now, or they thought they were, so they spent some of their time working. They had to act grown up for the next fell when they • ent back tc high school they wore Juniors. Nor Juniors ere queer people. They knot; sc muejt more than the Sophomores and Freshmen; but they are afield of the class above them, so they spend most of the year giving them parties and banquets, and planning commencement events for them. ThGy arc sort of servants for the high and mighty four year folks.” After the Junior year was over, and vocation had come to an end, what do you think happened? No, the school building didn’t burn. No, they didn’t have any Christman tree. Tfell 1 11 toll you. When the Juniors went back to school again, they weren't Freshmen; they weren’t Sophomores; they weron’t Juniors; they were SENIORS!: They found out that Seniors were the highest and the greatest class in school. And when seniors are seniors, whether they study or not, the faculty looks up tc them because they ore seniors. And the juniors look up to them becauso they are seniors. And the sophomores and freshmen are aftaid cf them because they arc seniors. Seniors get to do a lot of things. They get to go to banquets. They have class meetings. And you know if the faculty doesn’t get mad at them they graduate. 9 % Baccalaureate Service Berrien Springs High School United Brethern Church Sunday, May 22, 1932 Class March-------------------------------Doris Valentine Doxology----------------------------------- Congregation Invocation-----------------------------Rev.

We wanted to be a big someone, In this great old world of ours, We labored and studied above our books Through many and many long hours. Down the track of education We traveled over hill and knoll With our hand upon the throttle And our eye upon the goal. And several engines did falter A sputter and then some died, While others-kept on puffing As we traveled side by side. With our teachers as the engineers, Our books and paper as fuel, We made a stop but once a year, As v as the general rule Ane thus we traveled for tv elve long years, And we were sidetracked often, So we had to back up and try again, But never once did soften. Now the engine snorts along As we reach our journey's end, We travel over every hill And race around each bend. But at last the engine stopped quite still Our high school days are done, We've finished now this one great trip A web of knowledge we have spun. We wish to thank our teachers all As they taught us here each day, And we all do thank our parents, too, For they are the ones who did pay, Our fare on this great train called School, On which we all did ride, Now we mtiist journey by ourselves We'll not be si-de-by side. ■Leonard Kesterke DEAR ClD HIGH SCHOOL DAYS” --Ellis Luke. r Mx r—iV“-—- -------£ LT — - .
