the nr Ron i an 11 Juniors OFFICERS George Piper........................................................President Lois Baker............................................Secretary and Treasurer Class Colors Pink and Blue •ICXIOR CLASS HISTORY Our class numbered seventeen when we entered the B. II. S. in the fall of the year 1912. We soon became accustomed to the torments of the other classes and paid no attention to them. We were all very ambitious and did not waste our time foolishly. We had entered prepared to endure hardships and troubles of which there were plenty, but the year passed successfully. During the Fresh- man year Ewart Bennett joined us. When we returned to school the next fall our number had decreased to fifteen. Nellie Moore, Albert Revell , Vera Wilbur and Margaret Kelly had left school. Russel MacGregor and Rena Whitney were added to our number, but Russel did not remain with us long. Melba Grenfell left us in the first semester and Ewart Bennett in the second, leaving us with only thirteen. This year we elected George Piper as our President and chose blue and pink as our class colors. This year we began to show our worth especially in athletics, George Piper being the star. When we entered Junior year our number had diminished to twelve. We lost Aldena Johnston and Vera Hogan and added Nellie Alfred. At the beginning of the year we elected George Petitgout President, and Lois Baker Secretary and Treasurer. We had several candy sales, a circus and basket social which proved our ability. George Petitgout resigned his office and George Piper was elected President. Our last, but not least, accomplishment in our Junior year was this Annual, the first that has ever been produced by the B. H. S. This will surely prove our ability and we hope that the Junior classes to come will follow our example. H. J. ’16.
