BROCKTONIA 7 to lead us. As Juniors we prepared for the last year, which had been our goal from the start. As Seniors we tried to set good examples for the Juniors to follow, and we hope we have succeeded. Now comes the time for parting! Friends and teachers, farewell! But we must remember that there is work ahead and it is our duty to continue. as so many before us have done. Again we give our thanks to Mr. Rye, our headmaster, who has been so kind and helpful during our four pleasant years in school. We are greatly indebted to him and wish him the best of luck. Anna May Banavich, '29.' THANK YOU VERY MUCH INDEED The Brocktonia Staff for 1928- 29 wants to extend its thanks to everyone in B. H. for subscriptions, contributions. and general support. We also desire to thank the Senior Class for its generous financial aid and express our gratitude to the members of the faculty who have rendered us invaluable assistance. We have done our best to make Brocktonia successful once more, trying to unearth new ideas, al- though everything has been done before and have attempted throughout the year to enliven a weary work-a-day world with bits of humor and illustrations. We wish next year's Brocktonia Staff all possible good fortune. Pub- lishing a magazine is fun as well as work: we can only hope you receive the co-operation and teamwork we did. Thank you very much. indeed. Brocktonia Staff, '29. DESK COVERS Desk covers! What an important subject, for many and varied are the things that go on behind them. Especially that study recess! Cf course there are a few who always obey rules, and whose desk covers are kept in their proper places. But alas! these are few, for the majority al- ways like to do the opposite. As one glances about the room, his eye rests on some little miss, who is vainly attempting to take the shine off her nose by the use of a powder puff and compact, Hnishing up by hasty comb- ing of the hair. This, in spite of all the Friday discussions concerning the use of such things as compacts and combs in public. Perhaps the most conspicuous of all are those whom we see munching a cookie, a piece of candy or even a sandwich behind that desk cover. Whether it tastes better when eaten upstairs where it is strictly forbidden or whether they enjoy trying' to sneak the coveted food past some watchful eye is known only to those who indulge in this pastime. Last but not least are the constant gossipers who save all scandal and news for the study recess, to be told from behind those desk covers. Everything runs along smoothly until one finally hears, '!Desk covers, please! With a bang. all covers go down at once and everyone seems to have a passion for study, until, a few minutes later. when teacher has apparently forgotten about desk cov- ers, they slowly go creeping up again, One bv 0119- Mary Boland, '29, B.
