The wind was howling down the chimney and a round the corner of the house. A mist appeared around the keyhole gradually shaping into a shrouded ghostly figure. It moved across the room with a tread a3 slow and steady as the monotonous ticking of the clock and took possession of the darkest corner of the room. A period of silence elapsed in which I grow cxcoodingly nervous. At last my visitor spoke in a voice solemn and deep. ’There are you classmates of Yesterday?1' My mind goes back to the day I spent at the famous horse race, the Kentucky Derby. I saw Coe Miller ride Honeybunch to the tape as the winner. He has won world fame as a winning Jockey. I have visited frequently my classmate Raymond Gessell, President of the Gcss.-ll Electrical Corporation, world famous for efficiency and quality of its electrical goods. Vern Catton, the head coach of Northwestern University, is a very successful instructor of the sports of this school, coaching now the future state champi ons.

| B. H. S j . N -------------- 7 !' xi : :-4jVn 'A ii CLASS POEK Listen my children and you shall 'near, In the twentieth century, thirty-fifth year. Of the Seniors, the class of thirty-five Thirteen scholars, all alivo. Barbara's a girl with a very good mind Y hich is very unusual for one of her kind. Kathryn studies as hard as can be Y hich is just the opposite of you and me. Edith is quiet and speaks few words But whatever she says is worth being heard. Lenora and laughter make a pair, Y hich makes her friends both far and near. 7ilfred Blundy, Speck to us, Is always found as the cause of a fuss Although at heart he’s a very good chap And really can study but would rather nap. Archie and Cec are two of a kind, “Short of stature but of the same mind, That brawn can be conquered by using the head. In spite of all that the people have said. Two Seniors, both Bills, come next in the row. Both good scholars, a trifle slow, Vern Catton’s a fellow who’s afraid of none, They don’t come so big that they can’t be shortened some. Raymond's a scholar if there ever was one. He comes to study and not just for fun. Leroy is quiet and perhaps a bit shy. But characters change as the years go by. Lawrence, whose hobby is working with wood. Is a carefree fellow and could work if he would. Thus cnd3 the boys a carefree lot. Some like to study but they do not. Thus for the Seniors thirteen in all, A class of large hearts though in size it is small. And hope that in fame they’re excelled by none We wish them success in the veers to come.
