JUNIOR BANQUET The annual banquet which is given to the seniors at the close of their High School career seemed to be the biggest event which had occur- red in our High School life up to that time. Nlfe. the class of IQI5, can look back upon that night as one of the most enjoyable evenings that we have ever spent. It was the last time that the class met with the faculty which has never re- turned to B. H. S. They were Professor and Mrs. Snapp. Miss Jessica Reid, Mr. Shamory and Mr. Sunthimer. A four course dinner was served and seemed to be enjoyed by all. Professor K. M. Snapp was toast master, which means that we all had a good time, for he always had a joke ready for each and every one ofhus. THE ATHLETIC Toasts were given by the faculty and also by several members of each class. It was some- thing different than we as Juniors had ever be- fore experienced, and to say that we enjoyed the fruits of our labor hardly expresses our ecstasy over the outcome of the aifair. The'Junior Banquet this year to be given by the class of 1916, will be held on Friday evening April 16, 1915 in the High School Building. Miss Lehman who has had charge of the Domestic Science this year will assist the Junior class in making arrangements. Mr. Oesch will act as toast master and the following will respond: Bessie Condgon, Harry Kulp, Vtlinslow Clark. Chas. McMullen, George Atkins, Estella King. ASSOCIATIGN The Athletic Association was organized in 1913 with a membership of about twenty, but it has grown until now every high school student is a member. As iis the case of all associations some members are more enthusiastic than others, but taken as a whole, good spirit is shown. This latter fact is in part due to this year's capable officers who are as follows: Ronald Fischer, president: Everett Swayne, secretary and treas- urer, Bessie Congdon. girl's yell leader, and Max Merritt, boys' yell leader. Our expenses have been unusually heavy this year but by skillful management and economy we have closed the year with about twenty-five dol- t - -- --Y W .,,...4:.za....., lars in the treasury. This will be suiiicient to give the Association a good start next term. So let's all give Three Cheers for the Associa- tion and its good work. OUR REPLY TO PENNANT Although we realize that Elkhart High School has had one of the strongest basket ball teams in the Northern Indiana Association this season, they cannot lay claims to the championship until they have played the best team. The B. H. S. live has tried for two years to secure games with E. H. S. but has been unable to do so-I wonder v r w ln . A, ,BQ-L. -nga, . .-

w..T' ' JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY At the beginning of the school year of 1912-I3 the present junior Class began the delightful High School life which they have enjoyed ever since. As we tiled into the large assembly room on the first day of the term, we were hailed as green freshies by the upper classes, who now claimed they had lost this glaring color so belit- ing to beginners, and indeed we were some fresh. XiVhen the roll was called we found that we numbered twenty-three as class, Mr. Snapp our the term was the contest held in Algebra and the dinner that followed. Ask Mr. Snapp and Mr. Shamory what we had to eat. Our class had now dwindled down to fifteen but those who remained stuck to our motto. Never, O Never Say Fail, and by hard labor succeeded in commencing the second term as Hfteen jubilant Sophomores. Wie believe in school spirit, and in our Sophomore year to show our class spirit we decided to give a class .play but our schoolmates, especially the THE JUNIOR CLASS superintendent at that time, gave us some good advice to follow in our high school career. The second week of school we were given a reception by the other members of the high school and although some of us were very timid in seeking our partners to eat refreshments with, yet we came out unharmed and had gained a great in- liuence in the society of the dignified Senior Class, especially some of our memberfsj. XVe organized as a class several months later with Bessie Congdon, presidentg Vera King. vice- president. and Everett Swayne secretary and treasurer. One of the interesting feats during juniors, so envied us that we were compelled to drop it. VVe have always been well represented in boys athletics as well as the girls. As a Junior Class we have been reduced to the evenly balanced number of twelve, six boys and six girls. XVe are now absorbing all the dignity and iinery of the Senior Class and are anxiously looking forward to the time when we may Call ourselves Seniors.

SOPHOMORE CLASS .XVe. the prospective seniors of nineteen seven- teen, reviewing our past career, do not boast of any daring feats carried out by us. In fact from our first entrance we have been known as a rather modest class. - After many idle conjectures as to the customs and manner of living within those four envied walls of B. H. S. we at last, in the fall of nineteen fourteen, found ourselves stranded there friend- less and homesick. The bitt-er heartaches and trials of our Freshman career are too heartrend- ing and touching to relate. It seems that we were typical Freshmen. Anyway we ourselves had come to realize the true meaning of Fresh- characters we were glad to pass on and leave these few words of consolation to our successors: It's a sweet thing to be a Freshie, lt's a sweet thing we knowg It's a sweet thing to be a Freshie, lt's the sweetest thing we knowt?j. But: Good-bye dear old Freshmen, Farewell Freshies fair, 'lialces a long. long time to be a Senior. But our heart's right there. VX-'hen we entered this year as Sophmores we numbered eighteen. VVe chose our officers at the beginning of the term, which were as follows: 'l I THE SOPHOMORE CLASS men. Even a smile from an old veteran-a senior4seemed an oasis in a desert to us. The very word Freshmen brings visions of our awful loneliness and many hardships during our pioneer life. Our class, however, is the first one which organized in the Freshman year. Our pre idetit. secretary and treasurer were chosen and served their term admirably. Most of the class meet- ings called during that year dealt wih the sub- ject of Our Pennant but talking seemed to have 'no effect and we were well launched in our 'Sophomore year before we could look up. behold it, silently gazing in awe at our misdemeanors. Although we feel that this year with its many trials laid the foundation for some good. rugged Donovan Fischer, president: Mabel Bordner, vice-president: Eunice McCaul, secretary and lllisie Spencer. treasurer. As we grow older we find ourselves gradually expanding into broader thinking and living. Wie have come out of our old shell and have livened up considerably during this school year. A number of our classmen have manifested a great interest in the Athletics of the high school this year and we predict for a few of them a brilliant future as Basket Ball Stars. And now at the close of our Sophomore year we can only say that as a class we have tried our best to show the proper school spirit in all of our iuidertakings. both socially and intellectually, and hope next year to be worthy the name of a junior.
