And even if we won't admit it, the three boys we have now are rather precious creatures-and are to be handled with kid gloves. We can look still farther into the future-June, 1945-what then? We will be ready to take our places in the working world. That time seems so far away we don't like to think of it. At times we may get tired of school and say we'd like to quit but if we did how we'd miss it. Next year we hope to do something which so far has not been accom- plished-rid B. H. S. of its greatest pest-Detention. If we did this we would certainly be remembered by the students of B. H. S., fespecially the present Freshmanb.
