TO THE CLASS OF 1927 The class of 1927 is the first one that may say they spent all of their four years of high school life in the new building. In this class you may find wit, beauty, intelligence and perseverance. Surely, with all of these they will succeed. TO JUNIOR HIGH This is a new part of the school, this being only its second year. Al- though we never were fortunate enough, we know it will be a good thing for the school, because it will make it easier for the Senior High teachers. It is succeeding now and will continue to do so under the competent supervision of its Faculty. CATHERINE J. CRONIN. The Class of 1870, the first class to graduate from B. H.

STORY: Young Professor Carrington, who must marry at once or lose a for- tune, has quarreled with his finance, Marjorie. Jack Foster secretly en- gaged to Ethel, proposes that the Professor should marry his stenogra- pher, Goldie. The new engagement has just been announced when Mar- jorie returns. Her pride is wounded, she announces that she is also married. Jack Foster, falsely accused of being a burglar, saves himself by stating that he is Marjorie’s husband. When everybody and every- thing are in the worst possible tangle, it is Jack who saves the situation and everybody pairs off happily. FRANCIS CARROLL. THE CLASS OF 1925 Three years ago our class entered the old study-hall, shivering, half- afraid of Mr. Elden and the faculty. We took the seats given us in the front of the room, and perhaps it was because we were so near the front and because we were so afraid of the teachers—that—at the end of the first quarter, w had the back seats, showing that we had the best marks, for then we were seated according to our averages, the one with the highest average in the row getting the back seat. We stayed somewhere near the back for the rest of the year. By this time we were not afraid of any of our instructors—we had learned to love and respect each one. That was our first year in that old study-hall, and our last, for when we returned the next year—as—Sophomores—it had been made into several small rooms, one for each of the classes. Perhaps the reason for our success this year was the careful watching and training given us by Mrs. Prudhon, who had charge of our room. Last year again we had a change when we went into our new school building—this time to be under the care of Miss Tanner. This year we are the dignified Seniors of the school and the goal we have been working for—graduation from B. H. S.—is near. We have the honor of being the largest class yet to graduate from this school, and of course we are the best. Our motto, “We can—We will.” we will follow through life. And surely where there is determination, there is success. And now we bid good-bye to dear old B. H. S., trusting that she will train all future classes just as well as she has the class of 19 25. TO THE CLASS OF 1926 Belonging to this class are a number who should belong to our class—but who could not bear to leave the school this year, and so have decided to spend one more year in B. H. S. However, we hope they will not decide to spend still another year here. Even though this class takes from us the honor of being the largest class yet—we wish them well. 3

Twenty-five girls from everywhere around—from Lysander, Clay, Merid- ian, Brewerton, Nedrow, East Syracuse, Phoenix and Oswego. In a day or so we became acquainted. The second week we elected our officers choosing for President, Frances Virginia; Secretary, Edna Wheaton; Treasurer, Genevieve McCarthy; all of last year’s senior class. Immed- iately we plunged into a year of work and pleasure. Our social events opened with a Halloween party in the gymnasium, later followed by a chicken dinner given by the girls who bring their lunches. At Thanks- giving time, we presented in the auditorium a play written by two of our talented members. Next came our Christmas party and dinner at school. After we returned it was time for January regents and everyone studied, soon the dreaded regents were over. The class as a whole was most successful, and once again we thought of entertainment. On the 17th of February a banquet was held in the library to which all the Grammar School teachers were invited. From this time until April first only one dinner was given and we were next invited to a week-end party at Lysander on May fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth. The en- tire class had as we expressed it the best time of our lives and next we are planning a progressive dinner before settling down for June regents after which we plan to have picnic to end our social events for the year. FRANCES VIRGINIA. CLASS HISTORY At last the long sought day has come. We, the Senior Class of 1925, have finally accomplished the thing toward which we set our mark. Yet the joy is not all unmingled with sorrow, for many happy days have wre spent in B. H. S. as students and it is in memory of these days that we review our history. On the evening of June 22, 1921, fifty-two students, having been thoroughly trained by Miss Ringe and Mr. Baker, were presented with diplomas which entitled them to enter High School, that mysterious place of learning, of which they had heard so much. It seemed that the long summer months would never pass but finally the great day arrived which had been so anticipated, yet perhaps a little dreaded and we began to live the days of which we had hitherto only dreamed. We fully realized this when, one morning in early 5
