We’ve spent in the halls of this high school The happiest years of our life, And now as we leave its dear portals We’ll meet with much turmoil and strife. The last class passes, and we know That we’ll never pass again, As the honored Seniors of thirty-five To meet in one jolly band. And now with our banners all flying And colors that wave as we go, A feeling of sadness comes o’er us That only a Senior can know. One last fond farewell will we render, Emotions of joy and of pain, As we, to our dear Alma Mater Say adieu in a heart felt refrain. By Phyllis Sexton CLASS SONG (Tune to Winter Wonderland) Gone away are our School Days, Now we've come to the by-ways. With this our Song We’ll try to struggle on Without dear old Berrien High. We have studied together, In all kinds of weather, With laughter and tears, We’ll work through the years Thinking of dear old Berrien High. Let us not despair nor look behind On the upward road be willing to climb Not forgetting but keeping our memories alive To the dear old class of 1935. Later on should we meet, And each other chance to greet We'll talk unafraid Of the plans that we made In the dear old days of Berrien High. By Mary Shafer

EXCERPTS FROM THE DIARY OF THE SENIOR CLASS Sept. 10, 1931 School started off with a boom. We arc as green as any Freshman. There are fifty-five in our class, some of the students from the country act like they were lost. Mr. Hawkins is our Sponsor. Dec. 23, 1931 Last night we had a class party in the Gym. It was a lot of fun. Now we arc looking forward to another one next semester. May 31, 1932 Now that school is out we shall enter next year as Sophomores, that is most of us will. We had an all-school picnic at Indian Lake Friday. It was too cold to have much fun. We Freshmen had a good laugh when a couple of Seniors couldn’t maintain their equilibrium in a boat and fell overboard. Sept. 12, 1932 Do we feel proud, and do some of the things we did last year seem crazy. Our class has somewhat diminished. A most divine youngster entered our class, he is tall, dark, and handsome. Jan. 15, 1933 We received our class pins last week. We are very well satisfied. Anne Kurnat left us and went to Chicago at the beginning of this semester. June 5, 1933 We climaxed the year with another school picnic. We received our report cards and found our entire group were upper class-men! Juniors!! Sept. 14, 1933 Aha! Juniors, that’s what we are, next to the highest class in school. Mrs. Crittenden is our Sponsor. Miss Buell left us this year. The coming Sophs don’t know what they missed. We surely are glad, luck was with us for once. Our numbers were increased by one, a keen-minded girl who had gone to Central High School for the last two years, Frances Winters. Dec. 23, 1933 We received our class rings and are very proud of them. Every one is envying us. March 5, 1934 Two of our members, Evelyn Tudor and Leon Burgoync, were chosen to take leading parts in the Junior-Senior Play, entitled “The Ranch on Sunset Trail.” Other minor parts were also taken by our classmates. June 3, 1934 We gave the Seniors a nice prom, serving refreshments in the beautifully decorated gymnasium. We felt very dignified when we marched in with the Seniors at Commencement. We are now Seniors. We had an allschool picnic again. Sept. 14, 1934 Well, under classmen, one side please, we arc Seniors at last. As dignified classmen, known as Seniors, we entered the portals of Berrien Springs High School. Mrs. Jess-wein-Bender is our Sponsor. Dec. 2, 1934 Last month we sponsored a Carnival and appreciated all the cooperation given us by the under classmen, and it proved a great success. The proceeds of the Carnival are to be used in publishing a real “Canoe.” Dec. 23, 1934 We had a Christmas party in the sewing room. A gift exchange, a Christmas tree, and a good time were the features of this party. Feb. 2, 1935 An important class meeting! The colors to fly for us at Commencement were selected, Blue and Silver. Only a class like the one of '35 would select “Build for character, not for fame” as its motto. They believe it to! Lily of the valley is the flower. The following class officers were selected during this meeting: President ............ Robert Ewalt Vice President Bessie Olney Secretary Phyllis Sexton Treasurer Warren Shafer March 1, 1935 Scholarship grades were announced today. Ten people in the class had a four-year average of 90 or above. Frances Winters headed the list and Leon Burgoyne came Continued on page 18 THE CANOE Il3l
