Curtain ACT IV—SENIOR YEAR Closing Year Student of ’24.—We have at last, by many hard knocks and through many rough roads, reached the strategic point where wc may be called Seniors, in the true sense of the word. Our long sought for hopes and desires were at last a reality when a two score group entered the office in the fall term and told the Principal that they would like to take English IV. It was a still more happy group that assembled 26

It has been many the afternoon dream, and many the structure of an air castle that first gave impetus to our attending this school, which not only offers educational facilities, but personal instruction along the social, moral, physical and spiritual lines. By the able leadership of our president we have spent a most delightful and successful year. It has been a rare privilege to sit under the instruction of such a competent faculty as Bethel has. It has been our fortune to have as adviser a man that is present at all times with help and ideas. It seems that seniors come and seniors go but he goes on forever. To say nothing of what we have laid up in our storehouse of knowledge, we have, in addition, received much benefit and instruction in our literary societies and other activities, which help to make the all-round man and woman. Some of us have had the pleasure of spending four years at Bethel, and to us it has meant more than gold can purchase; others have spent less time, but to all it has kindled a flame which death alone can quench. So as we arc about to leave these sacred corridors, there is a peculiar feeling of regret, and also a sublime feeling of joy. But wherever we go, whether home or abroad, we will always hold up Bethel as the school of schools. SENIOR CLASS SONG Tune: “How Can I Leave Thee?” We are the Seniors What could we wish for more? And we love old Bethel dear As in days of yore. Thus shall our high school days End with a song of praise. Sing it in every land Both far and near. Where e’rc our work may be, Still we will faithful be; Still keep fond memories Of lessons here. Our watchword—triumph and trust. Try, Oh yes, that wc must; These keep we as we part From Bethel dear. 27 —By E. R. W. and R. E. J.
