CLASS'POEH As we go along the highway Of fading, Senior year ' That has all the Joy and gladness Sadness too, that's near, le open our book of golden deeds And count them one by ne, To see if we have left behind One deed of love undone. From each heart we feel a warmth Fbr the glory we've attained: And we bid you all to follow To that victory unstained. I To our school we owe a tribute, To our teachers all so dearg And to every lower classman We leave a hearty cheer. 'Deeds, not Words,n our motto Will be the motto of each life, We will ever strive to keep it And be winner in the strife. But forever, in our memory We'll recall these joyous hours, With loving friends and teachers And all the pleasure that was our Luclle Smith 5 Bessie Crane, '36 lotto 'Facta non verbau Colors: Green 2 thite Flower: White Rose l'

le shall not forget the Sunrise Breakfast with the Seniors which we enjoyed at 5:00 A. I. but several Juniors were left behind and they have always regretted it Another enjoyable affair was the trip to Briar Patch with the Seniors. The High Light in any Jun1or's life is the Junior- Senior banquet and how beautiful and chivalrous we all looked and felt on that night of nights when we met in the basement of the Christian Church which we had geiorated to resemble a ship. Our President was Lillian a mer. Our Senior year has been a happy one as all Senior years are. Some of our members have made outstanding records as basket ball players, being named on All Star Teams. Some others have been outstanding in Debating, Track, Dramatlcs, etc. and we have been very happy under the leadership of our Sponsor lr. Elmore. An enjoyable social event of the Senior year was the Senior party and we will always remember our picnics, and the Baccalaureate sermon on May 10th. One new member came into the class this year J. C. Humphrey who moved here from Elsberry. Now that our school life in Bowling Green is closing we shall always consider it a privilege to have had B. G. H. S. as our Alma Mater and as the years go by and you'll always find us ready and loyal and boosting for our Dear Old High. By-Claud ine Flood e G ir

That is all, thank youfu 'Yes s1r.n I turned and hurried quickly out of the room, biting my lips to keep them from quivering. Hot, stinging tears came to my eyes, but I forced them back. The 1nJust1ce of it all made me very angry--forty letters to get out in two hours--it was an impossibility. , The next day I left. Mr. Graves called me again to his office and paid me half of my weeks salary, Sl0.00. Bitter thoughts flashed to my mind, but I drove them back, and in- stead turned to go without a word. HEr--just a secretary. Miss I raised my Then I drew back nLaura Ruth minute. I want to introduce to you my new West, Miss Lat1mer.' 1 eyes and stretched forth my hand coldly. West! Of all thingsln Surprise made it im- possible for me to go on. Feeling Mr. Graves eyes upon me, and realizing that I was wasting his valuable time, I hastily withdrew, stopping to Bay, WI hope that you are more successful than I.U Outside, I drew a deep breath! Well, so my old friend was filling my place. I fought down the jealous feeling that struggled to get the best of me, and walked the street. Out slowly down of a Job--only 850.00 in the bank. Oh yes, and the 510.00 in my purse. Well, the heavens alone knew what was ahead for me 6 ir
