Ever since the first meeting at Louise Bell's, when we were but timorous Sophs, their sound has been a charm. I will not conceal the meaning of B. U. D. S. any longer, and in disclosing it I'm sure you will all agree that we have faith- fully lived up to its very appropriate meaning, all along the way : Budding Under Delightful Sociability. There it is out, and you all know, and know- ing, appreciate, we hope. Many and enjoyable have been the B. U. D. parties. Even outside and uninvited guests were made welcome, and went away with nothing but praise for our hospitality. Our first strictly B. U. D. party, not even the F. R. O. G. S. being in- vited, was the long-to-be-remembered Kid party at Mable Gilchrest's. Fearful and wonderful were the many costumes, and to perpetuate our good time we all had our pictures taken. Another very enjoyable party, this time for the F. R. O. G. S., was the living-picture entertainment of our Sophomore year. Many more affairs followed: the masquerade party at Marjorie Montgomery'sg one of our most famous spreads at Helen Reinbach'sg two all-day hikes 3 and the largest and most difficult party of all, the Senior football banquet. You probably ask, How have they achieved such success? Why has it seemingly been so easy to live up to Budding Under Delightful Sociabil- ity ? The answer is this : We have all been interested-we have all helped. If we once decided on anything every one was ready-not with faultfinding or complaint, but with good-natured advice and combined effort for success. And, too, we have been fortunate in having for our directresses, Mrs. Em- bleton and Miss Stelter. We were not too much for one to handle, but we wanted that double pleasure ourselves, and hope that they have enjoyed us as much as we have enjoyed and appreciated their efforts for our good times. So you see we are a success. If you would doubt this, read a few

32 AUF WIEDERSEHEN 1914 remarks which it has been our good luck to hear as we tripped along our happy way, so making spots of sunlight for us all: An appreciative F. R. O. G.- The B. U. D. S. sure have the best 'eats' I ever had the luck to get next to. An Alumnus Cjune 131.- That bunch of girls sure is good-looking, and says--. ' ' A High School Teacher.- Well, the brightest group of pupils up here are the B. U. D. girls. A June '13 Girl.- Yes, the B. U. D. S. are the biggest sports T. H. S. has seen for some time. Wasn't that football banquet a dandy? Wish we'd had their 'Pepf A Casual Reader of the World.f Pres., Vice Pres., Sec., Treas., Grafter. Now I wonder what the Grafter does? Oh, I see-an initiator of new Buds. Well, that is clever. Say, those girls are some original. A Sub. Fresh.+ I hope our girls, when they organize, will be as popu- lar as the B. U. D. S. But we'll have to go some. Now, having read these unsought tributes to our good eats, good looks, bright minds, sporting blood, originality, and even a Sub. F reshman's honest praise, you will need no further information concerning the girls of the Jan. '14 Class, the B. U. D. S. According to Washington- The friendship I have conceived will not be impaired by absence, but it may be no unpleasing circumstance to brighten the chain, by a re- newal of the covenant. May our B. U. D. friendships bloom for all time. Bertha F. Clay. Pres .... Vice-Pres ..... . . . Sec ...... Treas. . . Grafter. . Pres ,.... Vice-Pres Sec ..... Treas ....
