The school re- ceived high ratings on all nine main items: curriculum, pupil activities, library, guidance, inztruction, outcome of the education program, stalt, plant and administration. At the conclu- sion of the third year Brentwood may take pride in the progress ot its schools under the capable ntanagenfent oi Dr. English. We Seniors of l943 appreciate his service to us and extend our best wishes to him in gratitude. The career ot Mr. McDonald, High School Principal, is marked by thirteen years ot service to Brentwood. From l93U he has watched the school come through many changes and rapid advancement. ln that year Brentwood High School consisted oi only a few rooms in the Elroy Elementary School building. Finally in l933 the high school building was constructed, and Mr. McDonald became principal in the new building. ln l939 the addition with its cafeteria, music room, auditorium, class rooms, projection booth and new gymnasium was completed. The school now is organized as a lunior High School and a Senior High School with three courses oi study, academic, commercial and general. The school program has an extensive physical education plan, a trained nurse, a doctor and a dental hygienist. Credits are MR. S. E. McDONALD offered in art, music, chorus, shop and home economics. Students govern themselves and publish their own newspaper and annual. Extra-curricular club activities and socials are held throughout the school year under the corn- bined co-operation of the students, faculty and administration. As the years have passed, Mr. McDonald has kept modern, progressive methods at his fingertips. The Seniors sin- cerely hope ior his continued success.

ENGLISH The Board of Education is the controlling factor behind the schools. ft is their undertaking to provide a sound basis for a progressive func- tioning system. Theirs is the responsibility of laying the foundation on which each individual student may advance toward a brighter future. Brentwood's three schools, Elroy, Moore and the High School, are the results of a fore- sighted planning. An administration and a faculty of high qualifications and standards are available to the students. The schools theme selves are well equipped with every modern convenience to further the education and cul' ture of their student bodies, This was the goal and now the completed work of the Board of Education. We, as Seniors, feel that we have been guided well and extend our appreciation for work well done. Three years ago in l94O Dr. O. H. English came to Brentwood to serve under this board as Superintendent of the Brentwood Schools. Dr. English came to replace Mr. l. D. Bodyston upon his retirement after many years of suc- cessful administration. Freeport's loss was Brentwood's gain, for Dr. English did not lose a moment in introducing new projects and plans to Brentwood. Under Dr. English's guidance the Brentwood l-ligh School applied for admission and was accepted into the Middle States Asso- ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Ad- Anihem-Page 6
