HISTORY OF BROKEN BOW HIGH SCHOOL From the beginning of time man has always desired to increase his knowledge. To satisfy this desire schools were established. The early home of our High School was in the Scuth Side building but later it was moved to the one cn the North Side. The “Class of ’90” consisted of one lone graduate, Dr. Willis Talbot. In 1910, the present magnificent building was erected, which can boast of school equipment and facilities equal to these of any city in the state. The students have ample reason for being proud of the High School. It’s large, well ventilated, well lighted assembly hall with its fine pictures and school ensigns hanging on the walls, it’s wide stairways, ccmfoi table recitation rooms and large gymnasium, make it indeed a pleasant place in which to work. The life-like statue of Abraham Lincoln, presented by the Class of T3, is a beautiful addition to the many attractions of the school. The Senior Class of T8 will this year present a companion statue, of George Washington. The students have always enjeyed taking pait in the various activities of the school. Football, basketball, and track are sources of pleasure to the boys, while the girls get just as much enjoyment and benefit from track, basketball, and tennis. We have a Boys’ and a Girls’ Glee Club, both of which have done splendid work. Our contestant, Russel Grimes, this year was successful in the Sub-district Declamatory contest, gaining the right to go to Grand Island to speak in the district contest where he was also awarded first place. However, before play, must come school work. Under the able direction of our worthy instructors much has been accomplished along the line of brain-manufacturing during the past thirty years. The history of our school has in many ways repeated itself. The Janitor-man still admonishes the pupils to keep off the grass, and the merry students, as in days of old, pay but little heed to his threatenings. Each year a greener bunch of Freshmen than the last, starts up the hilly road toward graduation and, as in days of yore, memorize with great difficulty “amo, amas, amat,” and “tu, tibi, te, te,” The Sophmores get wiser, yet more foolish, as they try to grasp and assimulate the fact that, “the angles opposite the equal sides of an isosceles are equal.” The Junior still endeavors to retain his dignity while he vainly insists that he is quite sure, in fact, almost certain, that the dates of the French Revolution are not important. The Senior Classes have become more brillian each year until this year we have the brightest Senior Class imaginable. However, that does not excuse each and every member of “said class” from learning by heart, that “Columbus sailed the ocean blue In fourteen hundred and ninety-two.” In conclusion, the histoiy of our school shows marked advancement and pi ogress along all lines. The watchword of the pupils and faculty, both in work and play, is Cooperation. All are working for the same end—A Bigger Better High School. Buelah Wilson, ’18
