In which a number of our class took part, The play dealt with the nobles of Japan, The trials, tribulations, and the joys, That go to make their daily life complete. This play, indeed, was quite a great success. We closed our second year with one big stunt At corner of Meridian and Kruzang All those who went enjoyed it very much, And planned to have more in our Junior year. We met the next September, one and all, And chose the following to be our officers: Odetta Hall, Bill Zeller, and John Fast. To make our Junior year a big success, At once we started planning for our Heats. The first we gave when Hallowe'en was near, And took a hayride there and back again. We planned for one out in the country west, When rain spoiled all our plans, we used the gymg And used our skates to help digest our Beats. We took the Foot-Ball boys to Center Pointg Then journeyed to Knightsville one stormy night. We Soon began to think about the stunt Which we desired to give the Senior class. We turned the gym into a bower of flowers, Wisteria, pink and white, the colors were, And Japanese umbrellas were hung high, With tempting loads of flowers above our heads. The blossoms twined amid the lattice work, Peeped out as is the custom in the spring, And all did think they were in Fairyland. The tables were spread with snowy linen cloths, At each appointed place a candle stood, Which added to the beauty of the scene, The guests assembled in the upper hall, And then The Bachelors' Banquet we did show The cast composed of members of our class, All proved their great ability to act. At end of play we led our guests below, And placed them ready for the coming Heats. As master of toasts Jim Adams served: Throughout the eve some witty talks were giv'n, And toasts from members of the faculty. The eve will be remembered by all there, For everyone thought it a great success. We left for home when came the wee, sma' hours, And thought our Junior year was now complete. Again in fall returned our happy class, And took upon their shoulders dignity. The faculty camc at our beck and call, Deportment list no more was feared by us. The class, the following officers did elect: James Adams, William Zeller and John Fast. Our Junior president gave us an eat, The class turned out as never had before, And planned to have more of them later on. The next was given dovgn on the south side, gl9l5 I

'U' Four years ago, to school there came a class, Of Freshman green as grass, but sharp as tacksg We each got lost quite often the first day, And wandered thru the halls in silent fear. Alas! this golden age did not endure, For soon each Freshman grew so very big, His head up in the clouds began to roam. The teachers marveled why we did not learn, And judged that some of us deserved an F. They left us soon or late, those naughty ones, And then alone the plucky ones remained. We sailed across the waves of Algebra, Then passed the Scylla of Geometry. We rode with Caesar thru the Gallic Wars, And fought with tongue the wicked Cataline. We listsned to the speech at Bunker Hillg Wept over the sad fate of .loan d'Arc, And tripped with Milton his fantastic toe, As pilgrims gay to Canterbury rode, And lingered long with Gray in the churchyard Lamb's roasted pig we eagerly devoured. We rose in arms against the Stamp Act, toog And spent a day at Gettysburg with Meade. We disapproved of Henry's many wivesg With Alexander's band we traveled miles. - Class History We girls all thought our day of doom had come When o'er the way we went to cook and sew. The boys began to hammer and to plane, And built the bleachers for the tournament. In every year we've found our part to do. The carnival first opened up our way To show what we could do for B. H. S. A garden gay of old Japan we had, With dainty maids to serve our customers, From cups o'erflowing with teas of many hues. We had a Gallaphone of pretty girls, Who sang the classics of America. Our pop-corn balls delighted many there Who patronized our little Freshman stand. In feats of strength we helped to take the prize. At end of year we had our credits madeg At last we were not Freshman any more, But Sophs who held our heads up in the air. Fall came and with it we returned to, school, With minds made up to do our share in all. ' We did not organize into a class, As was the custom practiced heretofore, But this did not exclude us in the least, From any of the social functions gay. Miss Herr put on the play The Mikado, 1915-

Where our fair Helen served us royally. The girls then planned to give a stunt themselves. The lovely home of little Maude they chose. Tho' Senior boys were called away from town, Yet there was one full brave enough to comeg The girls for spite took little Junior lads, And all said they enjoyed themselves Hrst-rate. For the tournament our dogs did their full part, They barked and yelled and did their many pranks. There were three members in the Varsity, Who helped to win the honors for the team. So now comes the beginning of the end. Our class play we are sure will take the town, For the Pa of Mary Jane is something newg We hope that every one will boost it hard. Our Annual, we know, will be the bestg just settle it by glancing at the Staff! We've told you now what we have done while hereg We leave it to the prophets to foretell What we shall do throughout the years to come. ODETTA HALL MARY WOLFE.
