l Xt!'K'll Svvniiirn lll'TH SI 'ROGGS Ruth is quite willing to tell us all we want, to know, except, for the fact that she yawns too often to have time to talk. XYhen she awakens, the narrative will be continued. LLOYD HAZICN Lloyd has wandered rather vague- ly about, his only regular procedure being to go periodically to Alnoret to see-'just to see an Oval. N0 wonder he is so fond of drawing ovals in art. Our deepest sympathy to her, Lloyd. ANNA MA IC BURTON Anna Mae has shown herself to be a most earnest student of frolics. She has learned the tricks of that trade to perfection with Eva and XVinnie to coach her. , . ., , .. ,, . . .- .. ,...,,...-,e,-e:...:-.1 -,,,.,-.q,.M.-...,-,.-Q-.,,,.:,,......,.,...,..,,,..,,,,-:.,....... age., J.,

Svminra' nf '17 Zliarmuell In IB. Q. Sv. We are leaving'you, dear old B. H. S., For other scenes of daily toil and stress, For the cold world of sordid strife unblest Where all is turmoil, all is trouble and unrest. We are leaving you, dear old B. H. S., With saddened hearts as well our looks confess, For never more to lessons as of yore Shall we pass through thy memory-hallowed door. But memories sacred ever to our soul Will cling to us as the swift seasons roll, Thoughts of thy halls, where Play reigned side by Toil, Sweet recollections grim Time can never foil. We are leaving you, dear old Butler High, And all the sports in which we used to vie, On track and field, on court with basketball, We are compelled to leave them one and all. Here's to thy halls of learning, evermore, Here's to the joys we found within thy doorsg May thou forever eager learners bless, All hail to thee, dear, sweet old B. H. S.
