The last year of oar high school career began on September 12, 1929« Thirteen Seniors registered, taking up the old leadership of the school regime. At class organization Rubye was chosen as leader of our Class of f30. Although the Senior year was not marked and outstanding in the dramatic line, we shone in scholastic standings. Our time was well filled with carrying on the publication of the Booster” the first half of the year. At the mid-year, an Annual Staff was elected with Lorraine as Editor-in-Chicf. She has successfully guided the produc- tion of our year-book, and it is truly a creation worthy of recogni- tion. To climax our years in B.H.S., the class threw every effort into the presentation of our class play---- Fifty Fifty, by Frederick John- son. In athletics the Seniors were stars, John Griffith and Ivan Ab- bott playing on the Basketball team, while in the spring, Dan Scllcck, Perry Best, and John Griffith played important positions on the High School Base Ball Team. The girls—Rubye, Ruth, and Lorraine constituted the defense of our nearly ’undefeated girl’s Basketball Team. In the last month, Knolic dropped out to put in the spring crops, and now—-twelve Seniors, through four years of high school together— expectantly await the time when Mr. Matt 111 hands us our diplomas. WHAT WE MAY BE DOING NEXT YEAR Lorraine rocs to Bozeman to specialize in Art and Designing. Lucie is 3 ing to take a post graduato course in the Fergus Coun- ty High School stressing Dramatics and Art. As for Ruth----Well, that’s a dark secreti Harold attends his Freshman year of college at Bozeman. Dan goes to Seattle to seek a position.

 9 « «a if SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Extra ! Extra I Buffalo Revue I11 shouted the small newsboy at his side. The familiar word Buffalo caused Mr. Charles R. Mattill, Ph. D., B. A., M. A., one of the renowned professors in the Columbia Universi- ty» to pause in his sojourn homeward, It may be only a foolish whim of mine, but anything connected with the name of Buffalo always interests me, having been principal there for a number of years. Having purchased the newspaper, he continued his journey to his hoifre. Reaching his home on 808 Evansdale Terrace he found Mrs. Mat- till quite alone. The boys were at Yale and on this particular even- ing, Julia Ann was attending a social function. Well, •Cel,1 how about an evening off? I have no classes to- morrow, so let s declare a holiday. Yes, we haven11 had an opportunity to attend a good Vitaphone picture yet. Do you know of any particularly good one this evening? No, he answered, but I noticed one in the Tribune entitled Buffalo Revue running at the Palace. It's widely advertised so it must be good. Somehow the word Buffalo always attracts me. Eight o’clock that evening found the renowned professor and his wife seated in their private box at the Palace. As the curtains slow- ly parted, revealing the title of the picture, Buffalo Revue,v the strains of a rather uncommon tune coming from the vitaphone hushed the audience. The song seemed very unfamiliar to them, but the Professor began humming it under his breath. Somehow it seemed familiar to him. He recognized it immediately as the words flowed over the audience , We’re Out To Win, No Matter Whatfs Before Us, We re Out To Win, Oh Hear Our Mighty Chorus.’V Rather a coincidence, remarked Mrs. Mattill, to the Professor. That used to be Buffalo s old High School song, didn’t it? Yes, answered the Professor, but this sounds more promising yet. On the next screen appeared these words: This picture is a re- vue of the happenings in the present day lives of a number of charac- ters whose paths have crossed and recrossed in a strange yet myster- ious manner. We are presenting these characters not under assumed names, but with their own names—names of persons known to many people in this country, names famous abroad as well as at home. Through the courtesy and permission of the Buffalo Senior Class we offer for your approval the Buffalo Revue. The picture opens to the soft strains of that French national anthem, Marseilles. The scene is a busy street in Paris. A well- dressed young lady alights from a taxi. We have our introduction to the famous, well-known artist, Lucia Lewis. She seems troubled, and glances anxiously around. We notice a stoop-shouldered, yet tall man, dressed in a khaki uniform following her closely. Lucia notices him also, and hurriedly entering a Parisian Modiste Shoppe, goes directly to the private office of Mile. Kathryn Hansenne. They speak earnestly for a few minutes, and both seem to be rather worried. In their con-
