Prances was chosen to steer the ship And everyone else their oar did dip; She guided us with unfailing hand, And everpresent hope of reaching land. Then came Don, the bashful one Always jolly and full of fun. Basket Ball is his delight In all the games his beet did fight. Next is Hazel, stately and tall. In all her studies she never did fall. As editor of the Booster for half a year, Tapped out for herself a promising career. . In our quartet Verne always shown. Throughout the country his fame is known. All look upon him with due esteem As a member of our Buffalo Basketball teem. Vho comes next, why Nick, the lad, Eefs not all good, nor not all bad As center of our invincible five He never did falter and always did strive. Evelyn played her part in music and song, Thus mrking our voyage seem far from long; As editor of Annual and Booster she faithfully served Her praises for Basketball were not undeserved. And last, but not least, of Hay do we speak, A lad whose praises we often repeat. As captain of basketball he gave to his men An example of loyalty our honor to defend. And re seven Seniors of Buffalo High, Are launched upon the ocean, all barriers to defy, The harbor just behind us, the tide is going out ’ c shall reach the port in safety, without a fear or doubt.

V SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 8, 1924 a shio c st its anchor at t’;. door of t c Bu'falo -tig1 ' School, and landed ten green looking children who ran in to the school house, taking seats in the Freshmen section. ' h n the roll was called they cave their names as: La Verne Fairbanks, Thelma Crabtree, Lester Olson, Raymond Rigrs, Donald Noel, Laurence Barrows , Nicholas Noel, Ernest Lest berg, Albert Yfestberg and Wilbur McDonald. During the early stage of development the last three were smitten with brain fever and dropped from the enrollment of the class. At first the rest of the students thought we were pretty green but changed their inds when Thelma Crabtree walked off with the declamatory honors and three of our midst, Ray Riggs, Laurence Barrows and Lester Olson, .ere on the basketball squad. LaVerne Fairbanks was one who represented B. H. S. at Bozeman. The second time the ship anchored there were two new passengers , Frances Cat on and Charles ...iller. That year Charles Miller with the rest, played basketball. Laurence Barrows and Lester Olson were in the Senior play. Nicholas Noel was sent as a delegate to the Vocational Conference• As Juniors, we lost three of our cls ss--Charles Miller, .urence Barrows and Thelma Crabtree, but Ellen Frost was a new student among our midst. All of our boys were on the regular squad and Frances Cat on on the girls basketball team, so you can see that we were well represented in athletics. Again re were represented in Bozeman by Don Noel and Ray Riggs. In the fall of 127 the ship anchored never to return again. These who enrolled were: Frances Caton, Hazel Best, Evelyn Olson, Donald Noel, Nicholas Noel, LaVerne Fairbanks nd Ray Riggs. During the entire year we, as Seniors, h ve excelled in all activities. All of our girls played on the regular basketball squad as also did our boys fight for the Blue and White. Our Carnival proved to be a success and Frances Caton was crowned Queen of Buffalo High School. To the Girls Vocational Conference Evelyn and Frances were our represent- at ivc s.

 ✓ ' Z miI E SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Time—A moonlight evening in 1938.. Place—A beautiful suburban home situated on Washington Drive, West Buffalo. The house is ablaze with lights; from the open doors and French windows, emits soft music giving evidence that the Buffalo stringed orchestra is present. The expansive lawn is dimly lighted by colored lanterns, hanging from the trees; behind a clump of trees and beautiful shrubbery, facing a marble fountain, is a rustic bench. Characters—Various members of the class of 1928. A sophisticated young lady and a very handsome young man are seen strolling slowly to- ward the bench. Hazel Best: Doesn’t it seem like old times to have the old class together again. Just think, ten years ago to-night we graduated from dear old Buffalo High and this is the first time that we have all been together since. 7fasnft it kind of Evelyn and LaVerne to invite us here to their beautiful home for class reunion? Hasn’t it been interesting to know what everyone has been doing? From the appearance of this place LaVerne has certainly been successful as a real estate dealer. And Evelyn is just as sweet as she always was, but I wouldn’t have known her if I hadn’t seen her while at a friends’ heme last week. They had a television receiving set and I saw her as well as heard her sing. You know she often broadcasts over the radio. But come Don, tell me what you have been doing since you left high school. Donald Noel: Well, you know I always did have a desire to spe- cialize in agriculture and went to Bozeman for four years. After being graduated there I was sent to Washington D C —that was four years age. I worked in an office there for two years and then was appointed Secretary of Agriculture of :he United States. I wrote to tell you the geed news but my letter was returned and I later learned you were abroad. Hazel: Oh, I’ve been working all the time, let me tell you. I started cut as an interior decorator in Rocky Spur, which you know is a suburb of our renowned Buffalo, as a means cf achieving a start in my career as an artist. Then I became anxious to travel and study my work in other fields. Consequently, I’ve ben attending the Ecole des [ ' ' A A A . z y '
