"Under classmen, it seems most prob
able that you are about to enjoy an op-
portunity which we were unable to have,
that of attending school in new, up to-
date building 1t is certainly unneces

high school of the future, and congrat-
ulate you on your good fortune"
Classmates, in all probability this week
will be the last time when we shall meet

may continue their education, but we
cannot do better, wherever we go, or
whatever we do, than to remember and
incuicate in our lives our motto, Simplic-
| ity, Sincerity, Service.

THE BANQUET
The banquet at the Baptist church was
like an immense family party. The ves-
try was prettily decorated with green
and white; tall vases of white lilies and
other early flowers gracing the long
tables on which the ladies of the church
I had arranged one of the most delicious
| and varied menus ever served at pub
/ lie supper. Rev. G. c. Sauer offered
grace, then came comparative quiet
while all gave strict attention to the
/ task before them The teachers and
speakers table was on the stage with the
I long table of the graduates at their right.
1 Several favorite songs were sung with
: school spirit, Miss Alice Robbins accom-
/ nying on the piano.

were filled with the best of thoughts in
cluding school loyalty, making the most
of opportunities offered by the b. ii. S.

their studies, whether at college or In

fmanncr added materially to the
weight of words.

accepted plans called for $l75, 600
Miss Knowl on's class prophecy held
the undivided attention of the large au-
dience as she read from a fortune book
obtained on the moon, where she had
landed on account of engine trouble on
an air trip, the destinies of the bright
! girls and boys of the class of 1922. Her
originality has rarely been eQualled In
this always entertaining part of the an
nual B. H. S. event. She foresaw the
completion of the work Cupid began in
B. H. S. and announced the marriages of
graduates with graduates to the appar-

doomed to single life, some to wealth and
others to fame.
