THE CORONA 9 GRADUATION Another Senior class has reached maturity, another group of R. li. S. students are starting out on life's long and weary path with the hope of suc- cess-success that will make them a credit to this school. That long- looked-for day, that day of days of their school career, has come at last. XVhile the Seniors rejoice at the happy thought of having successfully com- pleted their four years of hard mental labor, there is mingled with that joy a feeling of regret. Although no one sees a reason for regret while looking forward to that day, when the day ac- tually arrives it brings to mind the fact that with that happy graduation comes the end of many pleasant associations -the daily contact with teachers and schoolmaster, with school books, which to some are most dear, the happy get-togethers and assemblies, school sports and activities. Perhaps there are those who have been more than friends, who must part and leave each other forever. VVith that parting comes the realization that new friends and acquaintances will be made-yet friends and acquaintances that will never quite fill the places of the old ones at B. S. Even though the school life has at times seemed monot- onous and dull, after all there are woven into our memories many never- to-be-forgotten events. From our Freshman Reception to our Senior Banquet, life has been an endless hur- ly-burly of F-U-N, mingled with work, 'tis true, but none the less happy. For- tunate indeed are those who can con- tinue their school pranks for a few more years in college life. A WORD OF ADVICE From our lofty positions, we Seniors can look down, with a wisdom born of four years' experience, upon you underclassmen who in your turn are laboring up the heights of knowledge. To show our altruistic tendencies, we Seniors, in departing from B. H. S., wish to bestow a few gems of advice. XVe cannot overestimate the impor- tance of wisely choosing your courses. Many a Senior has found to his sor- row that he is unable to enter college because he has not taken the required courses. Begin, even in your Fresh- man year, to look beyond your high school days. A little foresight in time may save years of regret. In preparing for the future, consider, along with the scholastic side, the va- ried phases of school activities. In col- lege, you will find the athletic or social development a great asset. Consider the possibilities, right here in our high school, for development along these lines. Be eager to take part in ath- letics, support all class functions, con- tribute to your school paper, show willingness to participate in the chapel exercises. Remember that a dual bene- fit is received: you are helping to maintain the standards of your school, and you are rounding out your own character. Juniors-the heaviest responsibility now is yours-to set an example that may be admired and followed by the other classes. Sophomores and Freshmen-today is the time to lay a strong foundation for tomorrow. This advice is given in a spirit of helpful interest, and with the hope that you may proiit by our mistakes.
