THE HARBOR BEACON occurred durlng the past winter term as a de bate over a trlp to Boston Almost before we were senlors, the plan of our class was to take a trlp to some clty of hxstorlcal 1nterestfBoston for lnstancel at the end of the year, lnstead of havxng the usual graduatlon At the bevxnnmfr of the wlnter term the debate became lnterest mg, for those who wlshed to take the trlp were determlned to make the others see the advan tages of the plan, whlle on the other hand those who were opposed were equally as determlned to make the rest of the class see their Slde of the questlon Some were undecxdedas to whlch course would be the more advantageous and the result IS that we have the usual graduatlon ex erclses thls year There are both advantages and dlsadvantages ID such a method of substltu t1on The chlef dlsadvantage IS the expense and we certainly would have had to work to earn the necessary funds However, thls need not have dlscouraged us as the condltlon of any success IS strenuous effort and hard work Of course no one can fall to see the advantages a class would galn 1n takxng such a trlp, so they need not be enumerated here In our case we had over slxty dollars to begln wxth, which was earned by presentlng the play Teaser ' durlng the fall term , and as the cltlzens of our town are always publlc sp1r1ted It seemed that bv some exertion on our part We could easlly have eamed enough more for our purpose More than thls our class had an unusual opportumty to do Boston as our prxnclpal, who IS a natlve of that city and accordingly well acqualnted wlth lt, would have made a splendld gulde We of the class who wlshed to take thls trlp feel that we have lost an excellent opportunity to v1s1t Boston, for some of us may never v1s1t the hub of the umverse wlth the express pur pose of slght seemg and certamly we shall never all have an opportumty agaln to go wlth a gulde l1ke Mr Russell We who wlshed to go hope the Junlors w1ll profit by our mxstake and take thls trxp next June We have the begmmnv of a fine orchestra m the bullxvan Hlgh School, and although as yet we hawe not many members, we hope soon to add to the number as the mayorlty of our stu dents are glfted wlth muslcal ablllts Even a small orchestra 13 something of Whlch every hlgh school can not boast We are hoplng for a larger orchestra next year and the prospects for the future are brlvht Class Poem, l 9 I 2 How swlftly whlrls the wheel of time ' How quickly pass the happy hours away Y Four busy years ago thls class was born And yet lt seems to us but yesterday The years have sllpped llke hour glass sand, Llke ghosts have softly ghded on , how comes the time to say good by e, To break this happy throng By the strongest tles We have been bound We hnd It hard to go away Too soon resound the merry chlmes That usher IH our graduatlon day As the shades of partmo' now draw near We know too late the past IS gone Yet look we up wlth hope and Joy , F01 a brlght future leads us on Before us lles a World unknown , A brlght and happy world lt seems to day Yet struggles awalt beyond the zone, Where happy youth so long has held its sw We reallze now our cares are not 0,er The cares we once had thought were done We reallze now as we have not before That they are only Just begun Upon the threshold stand we, yet look back Txs hard to leave so many Joys behlnd For every pleasure We shall lack, May we some broader, rlcher pleasure n We ve always known the tlme would come, We stand m doubt and half m fear Ready to go are we, and yet look back 'Phat broader llf8,S so near . . y . .
