■ B. H. S. THE RESUME ■— gt Senior Class History Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-five. WHAT does this number mean to us? To some it may have little significance; but to us, the Senior Class, it will be remembered as the year in which we leave our high school, and, separating, go out into life’s great field. Is it to be the end of our toil? No, it is only the beginning of life’s great work, as the word “Commencement” implies. Our high school days have only been a preparation for the tasks which will follow in later life. Four years we have associated together, worked together, solved problems together. Some sixty of us began this journey of four years. To some it has seemed a long journey, and many have grown weary and turned aside. Some thirty of us, by our own perserverance and the help of our teachers, have come to the end of the dear old Bradford High School Road to choose one of many out-branching roads, which will lead us into various occupations. We have had many happy days together. Our associations in the various organizations have been an inspiration and help to us all. These associations have imparted to us something which cannot be gotten from books, and probably are as necessary to our welfare as book learning. But our high school days have not all been happy days. We must have the bitter as well as the sweet. Dark clouds, now and then, make the sunshine seem all the brighter, and adversities help us to appreciate the felicities of life. One of our classmates, in the (lower of youth, has left us, left us not in spirit, but in body. Her spirit still hovers o’er us, and we can still see her gentle, smilling face. In the last four years our teachers have labored much in our behalf. What success we may attain in later life will be largely due to their earnest efforts. So now let us live in a way that our lives may be a fair picture of what a good high school education can do for us; and that men, by looking upon us, can see that perserverance and toil are rewarded by a richer and fuller life—a life more useful and therefore more happy, for we know that the only true joy comes from being useful. And then, as the years roll by, we shall look back and realize that these four years here in high school was time well spent and has done much toward shaping our lives and making us better citizens. GLENN BUECHLY.
