THE CRITERION lhlrteeu lin this gooDly kingDom the people are DibiDeD into four banDs in all respects each Distinct anD Different from the otherg ot which the most important is known by the right noble title of 9enyiors . Q tall anD stalwart group are they anD much renouneD for their great Dignity of bearing anD much also for their learneD manner, being like unto the philosophers of olDen times expressing not the knowleDge they possess. dllfluch are they markeD for prowess in the fielD anD full twice in granD tournament hahe they triumpheD o'er their fellow men, thereby winning unto themselhes the lasting glory of hictors. ZBespite their exalteD state, in contrast are they also prone to jollity anD full many a festibe gathering hahe they helD amongst their banD, the most noteD being a granD masque in which each DiD liken himself unto a little chilDe, both in action anD in Dress. QBf an exploring nature are they too anD trips habe taken to unknown anD stormy wilDernesses anD yet again into great cities in search of information. Qnh if this were not enough, great talent hahe they shewn upon the boarDs anD hahe presenteD for the pleasure of their fellow men a play most remarkable to beholD. Zin truth they are most like the Qreeks of olD. Hjfaithful, QBnwarD.

THE CRITERION Fifteen Zllihe 311112 Cllilassvuf '24 Back in our Sophomore year the symp- toms of organization presented themselves. After several unsuccessful attempts to orga- nize had been made, the class finally chose its junior officers in the fall of 1923. Those elected vvere President, Carlton W'eiden- hammerg Vice-President, Estelle McElroyg Secretary, Mary Drewg Treasurer, Paul Hiller: Director of Social Activities, Eleanor Lynch. Miss Lynch resigned later in the year and Miss Flora Saur was elected to hll the position. Miss Haskin was elected class adviser. During the year an innova- tion was introduced in the form of student support of the Community Chest drive. The junior dance was a complete success, and the Junior Prom crowned the social achieve- ments of the season. On the whole, the year was very successful. ' VVhen the Seniors entered school in the fall, they found themselves confronted by the necessity of choosing their Senior offi- cers. The following were elected to lead the class in its last lap of high school activ- ity: George Fraunberger, President g Estelle McElroy, Vice-Presidentg Carroll Meeks, Treasurerg Stacia Danielwicz, Sec- retaryg Josephine Kane, Director of Social Activities. As is the case with senior year, the officers found more work than in the junior year. The senior dance was a com- plete success, as were the Senior Frolic, the hike to Trumbull Caves, and the New York theatre party trip. The Class of '24 has tried to follow out several policies: to choose its committees from widely different groups of seniorsg to make all its social functions general get- togethers where students might get ac- quaintedg and to foster the feeling of student responsibility and self-government in all its undertakings. The Class of '24 could not have accom- plished a fraction of what it has done if it had not been for the faithful and tireless effort of Miss Florence Haskin, the class adviser. Her unfailing guidance and inval- uable suggestion have been primary factors in the success of '24. The class is extreme- ly grateful to Miss Haskin for her earnest co-operation. May all the members of the class of June '24 have the utmost success in the fields they are about to enter and refiect credit and honor to B. H. S. Faithful-Onward.
