THE SENIOR MAGNET 15 prepared through the aid of the Faculty in B. H. S. A number of us will take up our places in the world at once. But all of us who can will seek more education at some college or university. For, where is there better preparation toward success than in education, first in the high school, then in the college? Of course, where the college is impossible there is much to be learned that can be found better outside of the college. So we shall make the best of life wherever we are. As a word to those who shall succeed us, I add: Do your duty while in the high school and make the most of the opportunity offered to prepare you for your life’s work and you will look back upon your life in the high school with pride. Although we, the members of the class of February ’19, have had many tests of our ability, such as difficult lessons, stiff examinations, and many long hours of solid study, we shall always recall with pleasure our four years spent in B. H. S.. And we hope that the memory of our stay, there, will not die out in the minds of those with whom we worked. We, the members of the class of February ’19, zvish to express our thanks to the members of the Faculty for the kindly interest they have taken in us during the last four years. And especially to Misses Houston and Orr who aided so materially with our Class Night program and “Magnet.” , UN yv ... v,; ■ •

We are leaving your doors for the last time, and are ready to enter our places in the world after being under your care for four years . It is hard to believe that it is four years since we became “Freshies.” It seems but a short time since we so proudly marched up your steps. We did not seem to see any one for we were students of Butler High School. We had then attained what we had looked forward to during our grammar school years. But our ideals have changed, since we have spent four years in Butler High School, and we are now about to begin to strive after new ideals. For, no matter how good we become, there is always something better. We are now prepared to take up the undertaking of that better life,

16 THE SENIOR MAGNET CLASS JINGLES We called upon the Muses, To help us with their might, For we must tell about them, The class of the Blue and White. The Muses would not listen, Simply wouldn't give us aid, So toe’ll do the best we can, In telling of lad and maid. Herman Badger joined the colors, To help chase back the Hun, But, since the war is over, Two can live as cheap as one. Grace, our Valedictorian, Is the class advisor, too, But once in a while she insinuates How little we can do. There is a girl in our class, And we will put you wise, You can tell our Irma By her bright, flirty eyes. In Vergil, Harry Graham, Most surely is a duffer, Had he a pony instead of his “Fliv,” He'd be a better bluffer. Dorothy is a sweet girl, And she has many beaux, So you tvill always find her A-powdering her nose. Alberta is a fine lass, Tall, stately, and fair, And her chief attraction is Her beautiful Titian hair. Kenneth is our country lad, So full of fun, by heck, That when he have class doin’s He’s alzvays right on deck. Gen is fat and jolly, And is very fond of him, Oh, don’t you know who “him” is? Of course, we’ll tell—it’s Jim. Ray’s our worthy president, And the best in Chem by far, When it comes to fire extinguishers He surely is a star. Mae Thompson is a quiet girl, Who never has much to say, But in the art of singing She sure can reach high A. Gossard is a good old scout. Who never makes a “zip,” And to Mr. I nine’s office He’s never made a trip—(?) Uldenc has determined To live a single life, But we have a good idea She’d make an ideal wife. Mary is a fine girl, But has a trouble, we fear, For though she uses freckle cream, They will not disappear. George is salutatorian, And he’s had many cares, For he found at our picnic That the 'worst of these zverc pears. The darn old sack, it busted, He slung them in a sweater, And then the only trouble zvas It zvoiddn’t stay together. Inez Dougan is so very thin, But don’t you zvorry about that, For nozv she’s eating chocolate bars To try to get real fat.
