And bchibld it did likewise come to pass, at about this same time the class, with the | help of the Seniors did present j to the people a great and wonderful play, v hercin each should 1 act what he was not; and they did choose as a sacrifice The Zarly Bird. And lo 1 again the awful deed was done; and the multitude did cry out in their h hearts, Heaven forgive them, for they know not what they do J , and with their lips, How grand ■ I and vvonde -ful this thing which j ye have done ! And the heads of the class did become swelled to their fullest capacity at the praise they did receive for the murderous deed they had done. Now when the four and twentieth day of the fifth month I of the year of two and thirty ! was fully cono, this class did give a great feast, and did send i messages all over who land, cert,} west, north, ar.J sort-, t.o al.l thei inhabitants thereof, saying, Come ye, and make merry wiwh us;j for the class of two and thirty, , is to depart to a far country anui all things are now ready for c | feast And as they were bidden, so they in large numbers to the 1 set appart, ana did oat of + gcoa tnings of the land and rejoice with the class of two thirty, at the good fortune i .d come to thorn, in rein: r for all their long and paoion that had benold, as the class in great rejoic-land of plenty of promise, they did overtake young gentlemen and one dam-vho were wandering alone, and cried with a loud voice, to be into the Class.

» I f j I ti (i r I ,'Hi h ;il -J ii .JU HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY df • THE CLASS (OF 33 i Now the history of the Class of Three and Tiiirty, of the High School of tho village of Berrien Springs, of the county of Berrien and of the State of Michigan is in this wise: In the beginning, in the nine and twentieth year of our Lord, in the ninth month, and on the fifth day of the month, there entered into this Land of Learning, fifty-two seekers of knowledge. Some came up from the Eighth Gre.de, where they had for many months been busily engaged in storing their minds with the honey of wisdom; some were green and fresh from a far country; some came from farms where they had been tillers of the soil; and some were from other hall§ of instruction. It came to pass that they were received with malicious glee by a certain bank of wild beings who were called Sophomores and who because of’their fierce taste for Freshman blood, did pounce up them daily and nightly, and did cause them to suffer great things, And as they dwelt long in the land, they fell in with the customs of the inhabitants thereof, and their strangeness wore away, and they each became as one among the rest. Now it came to pass at the beginning of the second year that a new band of youths did come up from the adjoining territory. And the class of 30 in the new dignity of their promotion, remembered the days of their own oneness and as the sophomores of their day had done unto them, even so did they do unto these new (freshmen, and did show no mercy I un-jo their sufferings, and no .heed u:roc their lamentations, until all were bruised and full of much sorrow. Now it so happened that this land to which they had come was ruled over by one known as Mias Jesswein a teacher of much wisdom, and at the beginning of the second year she spake unto them saying, Go gather ye in a body and organize yourselves into a class, that ye may gain in strength and at your courage may wax hot. And as she spake unto them, so it was done, and they chose for their leaders, Doris Valentine, President first semester and Lucius Hogue second. Because it pays to advertise the sophomores thought it wise to wear upon their breasts an emblem of the class of 30 . So they purchased pins in shape of a shielu with B. 3. H. S. 1933 on them, so that everyone may see the clan to which they belonged. The leaders called forth the class to come unto a party which wao to bo held in the auditorium ana to join in tho game of bunco. At the end of the yea.r this mighty class planned a picnic to celebrate their uror.iotion to higher levels. They went to Indian Lake with many shouts of glee which showed they were having much fun in the water and on shore.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY CONTINUED It is conceded fact that the road to knowledge is attrac-tivelywide and leads directly to the High School and scores of youths'and maddens enter this edifice. It Is sad to admit, however, hat--many of these young people like the young SGypi'is-n ruler- become discouraged. because there are No royal roads -tfl education and they soon drop out cf the ranks of their struggling classmates abandoning the aspiration of , being a full fledged graduate. So it has boon in the case of this class, but fortunately others quickly stepped in and tonight there are forty in our ranks. As to athletics, the class of 33 is no mean class. Eighty per con t of the personnel of the basket ball team, which participated in the sectional tournament, belongs to us. In interclass activities, our class possesses the title of champion in basketball and track. To prove wo are not lacking in dramatic ability’ we, together with the class of 34 successfully staged The Antics of Andrew to a large, and appreciative audience. After careful consideration of the executive ability of'.this class, the following officers were unanimously elected; President, Henry Dunkleburg; Vice Pfesident, Ruby Sunday; Secretary, Lewis Edwards; Treasurer, Leota Robinson. In this class of 33 , whilr the girls are in the mihority in number, when it comes to knowledgdq, they are very much in the majority as the highest honors were carried off by two girls, Pearl Tobias beingt the Salutatorian, and Leota Robinson, the Valedictorian, For three years under its faithful sponsor, Miss Jesswein has the class of 33 lingered in the Hall of knowledge and searched its golden treasures and now under the flying colors-- Old rose and steel gray we arc about to leave its portals, each going his separate way, to find his niche in this great world of ours. But let us not be weary of well doing, Some of us may be called upon to sow, while others may reap; may the blessings that ever attended the noble and the good and the true, follow and abide with us, each and all, now and forever.
