Maybe in some classes we sail smoothly with the wind, and in others a storm descends causing our sailboat to appear as a blur before the eyes. This calm may in reality be a forerunner of much smoother sailing in the future. We, the members of the junior class, have sailed through storm and calm for three years. At the beginning of our travels our sailboat was last in number, but through constant effort we brought our boat next to the leading one. Even now we can see the leading boat fade into the distance and our sailboat take the place at the head of the procession. When freshmen, our class was ten in number, but it has gradually drifted away until at the beginning of this year there were only four of the original members. During the year Dolly Todd dropped school and was later married. Helen Woods, Who came from Garden City, entered the junior class making the present class consist of four members. It is from the depths of our hearts that we thank the teachers of the past and present, who have guided us toward the ocean which we intend to reach next year. mm - it B. H..S. 1 9 E5

THE RIVER WIDENSH As a river proceeds toward its mouth it constantly grows wider and less turbulent. In a like manner, we, the sophomore class, in bringing our second year of high school to a close, are conscious of a broader reach of knowledge. We are better able to control our feelings and are absorbing more and more wisdom, just as a river re- ceives and makes a part of itself, the contents of its tributaries. Knowledge is power is an old adage, and with the knowledge we have obtained from our school and experiences the past year, we are in a position to go a great way in being an asset to our school and our country. We have observed that a river with no outside infiuence is of very little practical use, but when man harnesses it and puts it to work, it makes life much easier for many people. That the river of our life may be harnessed, we are going to school to learn how to use our talents and energy to the best advantage. ' The school year of '37-'38 has been one of pleasure through our close association with friends and the faculty. ,.. - B. H.s. V c M E-H .N-M, v
