EDITORIALS The “Crimson and White” For two years or more we have wanted a school paper. This wish has been realized to a certain extent in the publication of the Senior number of the “Crimson and White.” When we started to edit the paper, we knew almost nothing about how it should be done. We have tried to do our best and we have learned much, but we realize that we have much more to learn. Now that it is completed, we find many imperfections in it. If we were to do it over there are many things which we have done that we would do differently or not at all, and there are other things which we have not dene that we would do. One of our main ideas in publishing the paper is to start the develop- ment of a regular school paper, issued as often as once a month, if pos- sible. We sincerely hope that t.his will be done, and that it will be the means of immortalizing, as it were, the happenings of the school. Of course we realize that the present issue is more in the form of an annual than it would be practicable to use in a monthly paper. But that could easily be remedied. But, with all its faults, we are proud of this, our paper. If a dedica- tion is necessary, we gladly dedicate this first issue of the “Crimson and White” to all loyal students, both past and present, of B. H. S. The Class of 1920 It seems that every Senior Class, at the time of graduation, prides itself because it is the greatest class that ever graduated, and that no future class can ever hope to mount to the heights it has attained. But there must be some exaggeration here. We know, and we say it with all modesty, that the Class of 1920 is the greatest class, mentally, socially, athletically, and morally that has ever graduated from this High School. And as we are the greatest class that has graduated in fifty years, is it unreasonable to believe that there will not be another like us for at least another fifty years? Therefore, we warn all future classes to be careful not to vaunt themselves as the best, but to remember that the Class of 1920 surpassed them all. But all good things must come to an end, and we must bid farewell. As we have seen the time approaching when we must leave the well-known building of B. H. S. for all time, we have felt a sadness creeping over us. We have had many good times in the building; we have cheered our teams to victory in many close games on the athletic field; and we have passed through the familiar rooms to classes many, many times. When we first entered, it seemed “ages” before we could even hope to reach the much-sought Class of Seniors. But, by the patient and faith- ful guidance of our teachers, we have attained that goal and the time has gone much too swiftly. Never again may we don cur athletic suits and help uphold the honor of B. H. S.I We must be content to stand aside and watch others fight for her glory. Never again can we enter the beloved building as students! We can only return as visitors to see those who have taken our places. The time has come for us to leave and to seek greater fields. But, although separated from our Alma Mater by many miles, we shall always remember the happy times we had when we were students here and we shall always remain loyal to her. Farewell, dear old B. H. S.! 6
