New System of School Planned Auburn, 1937.— The first teachers institute met at Auburn, September 2, to plan and revise some of the school systems and selec- tions of subjects during a students Hi school year. Perhaps the best system suggested and which will be followed is that of the Misses Miller and Wagner of Spencerville, Indiana. The plan is a joint one and is as follows: All col- leges require a certain num- ber- of subjects before en- tering. Let the county sup- erintendent have these sub- jects requirCid in the dif- ferent years and provide that a student cannot take an under subject below the grade he is in. This will save con- fusion on the piart of the teachers and all the prin- cipals of the school. The plan is to go into effect this vear. Orphan ' s Home Enlarged Ft.

mmmwmmmmmmm ¥ smpaatm-iaar immmnwmmimmmm Senior Class Poem Sunshine, rain and melting snow, Flying clouds and winds that blow, Everything in nature rings, Every bird in tree top sings, Comes the Spring. See the sparrow flitting by, Here and there the robins fl.v, Creeks break from their wintery spells, Everything with gladness swells, Comes the Spring. What ' s this upon the ground I see ? Why, ' tis sap from the maple tree, What ' s this above my head I hear? Why, ' tis a bird sings sweet and clear, Comes the Spring. Rain at day and wind at night, Winter takes its wings in flight, No one cares to have it stay, All the world is glad to sa,v, Comes the Spring. Thus we too take wings in flight, Soon to vanish from your sight, We, like winter have to leave. So those behind us can receive, The coming Spring. Each year a new group must come in, New hopes, new life, new joys begin, We couldn ' t stay and all this mar. For, don ' t you see, the Freshmen are, The coming Spring. Old B. H. S. a lasting friend, To all of us you sure have been. But take that friendship, e ' er we leave it. And save it for the next that need it. The coming Spring. — Colista Diehl. mmmmmmmmmmmmmfmmxmfmmmmmmmfM —30—
