SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September of 1917. forty-three timid lads and lasses entered tiie portals of B. H. S. They elected the following officers.: Millard Tyson. Pres.: Ralph Kepler, Sec. and Troas., and everything was pro- ceeding excellently when a dark cloud obscured this beautiful sun- rise, viz., our beloved president was killed in a railway accident of November :I0, 1917. Marcel Swift then became president and our first year in High School was uneventful. The next year we came back as Sophomores and began to get our reputation as the best class in school. After the Christmas vacation we took up Geometry and the lavish use of “midnight oil” began. Last year we became the Jolly Juniors filled with rosy plans for the future. “We had lots of fun And studied some.” This year, the fourth and last year of our II. S. life, we came with resolutions of good in our hearts which soon (1 am sorry to say) left us entirely. The Juniors and even the teachers, we understand, have said some very hard things about us. But, in spite of all that we have had a class party, a class play, a lyceum course and publish- ed this book and hope and believe (even against common sense) that we are all going to graduate. When commencement comes we, 1 am sure, will bid farewell to Butler High with true regret and yet with the sanguine hope of youth in our forthcoming struggle with the world.
