BROCKTONIA 11 HOPES We have all had hopes, big hopes, little hopes, and middle- sized hopes. Some of us may have hoped to be Jack Dempsey or Helen Wills but we all, at least, have hoped to graduate from High School. This last hope is about to be realized by most of the senior class on June 18th. During our first year We had hopes that perhaps some day we Would be able to do things as the second year class did them. As we outgrew our infancy we looked to the Juniors to see whether we should part our hair in the middle or not at all. Now, as we stop to think of it, as Juniors we knew about all there was to know. We are now completing our last year in dear old B. H. S., hoping that we have done our duty as the real leaders in scholarship, ath- letics, activities and school spirit! Now I arrive at the point in this wandering where a different kind of hope is apropos. Seniors, I hope with all my heart that each and every one of you makes a big success of whatever you try to do in the years to come. You have been a fine group of stu- dents as a class and as individuals. I thank you for your support of our activities and officers. If we have shown the Juniors how to do what is expected of them, as well as last year's class showed us, we may feel satisfied that we have born a success as the leaders of Brockton High. I canno: close this editorial without saying in a few sincere words just how much We regret that the classes which will come after us will not have the guid- ance and advice which Mr. Getch- ell is able to give. He vs all bid him a sincere good-bye and clasp his hand in a friendly shake that will show M bow high in our esteem he stands. Robert E. Keene, '26. ONWARD TO SUCCESS W UNIORS' Seniors to be! Our time is here for ac- f s' tion! Having passed an- other successful year, we are now ready to take up the task of lead- ership in all activities. Not only must we assume this responsibili- ty but also, we must set an exam- ple for the lower classmen to fol- low. Let us prove that we are more than capable of these duties that confront us by performing them all to the utmost of our ability. With our motto, Onward to Success, in mind, may we strive to equal and surpass the wonder- ful example set for us by those leaving, and in this way putting to use the talents which we all possess. To our worthy Senior friends, departing from our midst, let us bid farewell, and shaking their hands wish them all a very suc- cessful career. They have stood the test and are worthy of all the praise that is given them. May they long be remembered! Robert Tonis, '27. THANKS The staff of Broclctonia is tak- ing this chance to thank the school as a whole for the fine spirit of co- operation shown by all. This is our final and, we hope, our best effort. We have worked especially hard in preparation for this issue, which we have endeavored to make, as far as possible, take the place of a year-book. As a result you have in your hands the largest Brockfon '11, ever published. And now, Class of Twenty- seven, we hope that next year, when it comes your turn to say good-bye, you, too, will be thank- ing the school as a Whole for their part in the publication of the best number in the history of the school. The Brocktonia Staff.
