FINAL POEM We are the Class of ’22, And now we bid farewell to you. With all our work and little play, We have enjoyed each high school day. On this motto, we all agree, “Grasp this opportunity.” We have followed it through high school life, And now we are ready for a greater strife. So goodbye, dear old B. H. S. It is sad to leave you, we must confess, May we, for the sake of thy old name. Go onward and upward into fame! Now that we’ve finished our little book. Once more to the future we shall look. This little book we leave with you, And again we say, “Adieu, Adieu.” MARY CONNOR.

First: We direct that this Will be executed by that worthy body of our elders, but not our superiors, the Faculty. Second: We direct that all our just debts and funeral expenses be paid by this year’s Junior Class, in return for the great benefits they will receive from us when they fill our places next year. Norma Wright bequeathes her overwhelming love for French to another equally enthusiastic lover of the subject, Robert Turner. Her wonderful record of never having been absent or tardy during her whole school career, she wills to Frances McCarthy. Mae Hencle and Mary Connor leave all their beaux, Tebeaux included, to Kathryn Snyder, because they say, “She needs them more than we do.” Lulu Gaylord wills her noiseless, demure manner to Kenneth Mawhinney. Ardus Kratzer leaves all interest in a certain Walter to Bertha Patchett, who just now seems to be specializing in that particular brand called “Walters.” Donella Farrell, who for some reason has always felt herself far above the rest of us, wills that her means of looking down upon people be divided between Irene Jensing and Charles Young. Ethel Sochia wills her great ability to remember the smallest details of her lessons (even if she does get them in the wrong place) to John Miller. Vance Gates, “our celebrated debater,” wills his great ability to argue, no matter where he is or what the point at issue, to one who seriously lacks this accomplishment, James Fuess. Dorothy Virgina, who is the only one of us to have a worthy title, wills this title, “Ma Petite,” to Dorothy Kratzer, that the school may still have “Ma Petite Dorothy”—little Dorothy. Roy Delaney wills his model conduct, which he keeps wrapped up in cotton wool and preserved with moth balls, to Arthur Fellows. Esther Hahn leaves her factory where A-lines, C-lines, DeLines are made, to Roswell Horner that he will have a good line (of talk) when he becomes an “auto” salesman. Winifred Hart wills her budding genius as an editorial writer, and her book on “How to Attract the Opposite Sex,” to Doris Barney. Ellen McDermott wills her wonderful power of concentration, even when such an alluring thing as a boy is around, to Alma Weeks. Alice McDonald wills her power to make one and two make five and her amazing preference for study, to William Lewis Clark. Muriel Maxon, the girl with the “rustle,” wills her beloved type- writer, that “No. 8 Noiseless Smith,” to Florence Baker. Bernice Reeves bequeaths her novel theories of dispicpline, which she expects to use in the near future, either in teaching school or in managing somebody, to the teachers of the High School. Clifford Tappan wills his business efficiency and ability to get noise out of anything, even out of the organ in Room Six, to quiet Jack Eggleston. Lena and John, the two musicians of the Senior Class, will their great ability to “play together” to Ilda Rice and Homer Abbott. Marion Frawley bequeaths her power of persuasion to Robert Church, because she feels that he may need it in a few years. In witness whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our name the 27th day of June, in the year nineteen hundred and twenty-two. SENIOR CLASS OF 1922. VERA GATES. 18
