Has the time so quickly passed us? When as Sophomores we knew Everything the teachers taught us. Yes, and many Seniors too Didn't know as much as we did, fOr what We thought we knew.D Have our Junior days slipped by us? When we struggled hard to climb To the mountain tops with Caesar, And across the muddy Rhine. Though our ponies sometimes failed us We at last arrived there fine. Have we reached the goal we're seeking? Are our high school days to end? Was the time and effort worth it? And the joys and pleasures spent. Let us hope that we have earned it. -W. S.

Church, since our school building had been destroyed by iire in the fall of 1924. By Christmas our new building was completed and we took our places in the front of the assembly, dedicated to Fresh- men. Of course we were green , but we were not always to be so. The next year we had only one new member enrolled. We furnished several members for the basketball and baseball teams. We were very proud to be the victors of the class tournament in basketball. The next year we were known as Juniors. We elected Clay Overpeck, president, Glenn Barnes, vice-presidentg Ruth Witty, secretary, Dorothy Kerr, treasurer. Glenn later became our president. With Mr. Lamb as our sponsor we soon began work on the Junior-Senior Reception. We sold lunches every two weeks, sold candy at lunch hours and gave a Hal- lowe'en Social to secure funds for this event. Before Christmas we had purchased our class rings. At last, Friday, April 13, rolled around, some people would call this an unlucky day, but for us it was not. That even- ing we motored to Terrei Haute and enjoyed a six o'clock dinner at the Root Tea Room, later going to the Indiana Theatre. This year we won both the baseball and basketball tournaments. After four months of rest we entered school feeling very proud to be called Dignified Seniors. We found that we had lost three students: but two were with us again, one from our Freshman year and one from our Sophomore year. Our enrollment was nineteen. We elected officers for our greatest year: Marion Hamontre, presidentg Paul Johns, vice- presidentg Max Wolverton, secretary and treasurer. Desiring to do something outside the regular routine for old B. H. S. we decided to edit an annual, naming it the Raccoon , in honor of Raccoon Creek. Page twen -uu-nuiuu-un?un::::::::::1nu1un-zg'
