EDITORIALS Following the precedent established by the class of 1916, we have en- deavored to bring forth an annual of which our school can be proud Whether or not we have succeeded remains for you to decide; but we did our best, we feel, considering the brief time allowed us. Because of a typesetters’ strike our paper had to be completed in the brief space of five to days. Of course, we felt that our paper simply must excel the papers of other classes. We indeed hope that the excellent custom of printing a school annual be carried out by the classes of coming years. We particu- larly urge them to heed this advice. it In the “Lyre,” as our paper has been called, we have endeavored to express our love for our Alma Mater, to whom we are grateful for her guidance along the path of knowledge; to give our parting advice to suc- ceeding classes, and to add to these news of society, athletics and humor. Senior Class of 1921 Although every class that graduates from B. H. S. call itself the best, all cannot be entitled to that term. In consideration of this, we call our class one of the best, because in education, athletics and clubs it has been very prominent. Through the four years of its career it has maintained its place among classes in a manner worthy of note. Now at the end of our course, we pause to look back upon the path pursued by us for the last four years, recalling various incidents and finally offering thanks to our Alma Mater for all that she has given us. We are bound to her by ties that cannot be broken. No matter where we may be in years to come, we will always enjoy recalling to mind days spent within her walls. Our only advice to succeeding classes is: “Go thou and do likewise.” Junior Class As a worthy successor we have the class of 1922 This class not only being very large and full of school spirit, has already shown its ability to hold its own in any phase of school life. To it we leave the duty of continuing the school annual. To them we leave the heritage left by all senior classes, the ability and duty to conduct themselves as seniors and set a fitting example for their successors. And we know they will. Sophomore Class Sophomores! Here we have the wonders of the school. They have abilities unknown to others; for instance, carrying away the athletic honors in running events, or inveigling their teachers into believing that they do really know something when in truth the contrary is true. What could we do without our fashion plates? Who could dress cor- rectly without their excellent advice and initiative? They will pardon us for this few words, but if the coat fits put it on. We will say no more of them—they can speak for themselves. Freshmen Class “Lest we forget”—the freshmen. They are here, in quantity but not in quality. We never thought that our school could ever be inhabited by 2

such a young freshman class. Because of their youth their instructors find it difficult to understand their theories (of work- and even more difficult to cope with their playful activities. We hope, however, that they may become mature in mind before they reach the position occupied at present by us—some will no doubt be very, very mature indeed. Time will tell. EDWIN F.
