l ag 1939 coURsE OF HUMAN Another meeting was held to discuss the type of caps and gowns which were to be worn at commencement. The choice was narrowed down to two varieties, white for the girls and blue for the boys or all blue for both boys and girls. The all-blue selection was finally accepted and everyone seemed well satisfied, This great desire for discussion not only was the vogue in important cur- riculum events, but it was also very prevalent in our plans for social events. One of the most important and probably one of the best events of the year was The Annual Senior Class Party which was a success in more than one sense of the word. A huge Christmas Tree was placed in the middle of the stage and served as the center of attraction. Refreshments, games, and dancing furnished a very satisfactory evening for all those inf attendance. The class play, Here Comes Charlie also was a very successful con- tribution to the dramatic merit of the high school. It was presented on May 18 and it proved to be a very comical and entertaining performance. The Senior Class Day was also a very enjoyable event. Takeoffs were made on various students as the program was built about a radio station. lt proved to be an event that will long be remembered. Then there was the Senior-Iunior Prom. We danced at the South Hills Country Club to the suave tunes of the Airliners. Here we came to the end of our high-school days-Commencement. We now go forth to meet the challenge of life, not as world-beaters but as the average American educated person who lives in the pursuit of happiness that we find in these United States. With education at our right hand and democ- racy at our left we depart for a new life and a new goal. Page N inetcen O

Treasurer CLASS HISTORY Another year has passed and another Brentwood Class remains but a pleasant memory in the minds of those who are the 'coming seniors of to- morrow. As senior, this year has not only been the shortest, but the most enjoyable year in our high school career. lt is a well known fact that almost every graduating class, without exception, thinks itself to be the most enter- prising and outstanding class in the school's history. This year's group is no different. We have had four years of good fellowship and scholarship. Each year has brought us closer together until we now have no desire to separate and go our various ways. This year has been full of many and varied activities. The class was for- mally organized at its first meeting last September. At this gathering Iames Weaver was elected the class president for the third successive year. lack Dippel became Vice President, Helen Arensberg, Secretary, and the Treas- urer's position was filled by William Vickless. These tour have led this year's class of lO7 girls and 81 boys in all the activities throughout the year. Many complex problems have arisen throughout the year which have caused great interest and in some cases anxiety. Due to the fact that this year's class is the largest thus far to graduate from Brentwood High, new situations have been constantly brought before us. The tirsttifuestion of im- portance to be discussed was the date and place of commencement. After great deliberation and consideration Heinz Auditorium and lune 6 were selected. A Eighteen .Ai
