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.

66 0 99 xtrart Zllrnm K. 01. Zrltnwa The following was taken from The Kansas City Times soon after the Senior Class Day: Excitement ran high around the square in Butler the other day when the re- port came in that a band of gypsies were coming into town. Soon an old covered wagon drawn by a pair of wind-broken horses, appeared on the public square. The wagon was filled with about the prettiest gypsy girls that ever appeared there, the Times says. Stores were neglected, while the men poured outdoors to have their for- tunes told. But the secret came out when one of the girls exclaimed: 'Why, father, how foolish you're actingl' It was the 1917 class of the High School celebrating its class day. mhg me are lgrnuh nf QD111' Gilman As graduation time draws near and we Seniors look back at our high school work, we are proud of our accomplishments, especially for this year. We have been very busy most of the time this year. The biggest undertaking was our carnival. We worked hard for three or four weeks trying to prepare things so that it would be a success, and when Saturday night, Nov. 8, 1916, came, we found that we had been well paid for our labors. We bought a baloptican with the proceeds of the carnival and gave it to the school. We hope that it may be a great help to the students and the school. The first of March we had our class day. We prepared a gypsy programme and dressed as gypsies. A large number of visitors attended our programme and all seem- ed to enjoy it. Each year we have had our class day. When we were Freshies we had a mixed programme. When we were Sophs we had a St. Patrick's programme. In our Junior year we gave a Japanese programme and in our Senior year we gave a gypsy programme. We have always had a party on class day. This year and last we had a line party and when we had our St. Patrick's class day we had a St. Patrick's party at night. We are proud of what we have done, but we wish that we could have done more. When we fully realize that our last year in High School is nearing a close, there is just a tiny bit of sadness way down in our hearts. We shall always feel the ties of B. H. S. drawing us back to our much-beloved school. Srninr Statiztira Average head measure tbefore testi ....... , , , 36 in. Average head measure fatter testj ......... , 5 in.
