21 ibozm. As we think of early school days, Hearts are hlled with youthful zest, In them no room for sadness Lips ready for laugh or jest. Scenes of sorrow, like phantom pictures, Thro' our minds went dashing past, Dreams of winning wreaths and laurels Like radiant beams o'er our hearts we Tho' the artist Time will paint Other scenes with magic power, Still those days to us will cling, Brightening oft' a gloomy hour. When we think of absent school-mates, -Tho' our lives be far apart, Years may pass, but memory still Will bid affections tears to start. We would con again the pages Written by a school-mate's hand, And surely harken to the message Tho' they'd passed to other lands We would glean again in mystery The message fair and neat, Coming as a breath from Heaven, From their far away retreat. Bringing visions ofthe absent, And our hearts would give a sigh Waking memories of our child-hood And of happy days gone by. 9 Thro' the days of by gone years We were often found repiningg But all our worries, cares, and fears Were clouds with a silver lining. When in life We lose enjoyment, And its cares contract the brow, Let us then recall the memory Of what so charms us now. TB CHS B.S 'o

Boom-:1-lzickzil Sis! Boom! Bah! Sophomoresl Sophomores! Rah! Rzih! Rah! The class of 1904. We are the best and strong- est class of the High School. The class that will leave a record after them. It is with apride that We look back on our previous success and see the laurels that have crowned our efforts. We are a class of twenty-eight bright members, each one toiling steadily upward. The annual class literary program which was rendered before a large audience was said to have been the best of any given. We are the only B. S. C. and We hope to grad- uate in '04 with the same title but its meaning slightly changed. We rightly feel proud of our class, but We shall never let it affect us as it does the Seniors. ,In the athletic field the Sophomores have been very successful. A foot ball team was organized which proved to be very strong. In a game with the Freshmen We came out victorious, the score being eleven to nothing. We also have several stars on the track team.
