The name was changed last fall to Senior Forum when the lunior High School organized its own governing body. Much of the success of the Student Forum is due to the assiduous though unobtrusive efforts of its sponsor, Miss Moore. Forum members are student representatives, elected by the student body. Home room presidents who compose the Forum must meet high standards. Elections are held in September and lanuary for the two successive terms. The executive department, comprised of five officers, the presi- dent, vice president, secretary, assistant secretary and the treasurer, is elected a week before the representatives. Executive candidates must apply and be interviewed. ln the five years oi the Forum's existence it has supervised school activities and brought about the Get Acguainted Hour during which Mt. Oliver students and Brentwood students begin lasting friendships. The Handbook first appeared in 1941 and accomplished its purpose of explaining the school's curricula and extra-curricular activities. There is a Lost and Found Department, which renders useful service. Noon dancing, tea dances and after-garne dances, as well as the big evning dances, are under Forum organization to provide entertain- ment tor all. The Calendar, Date Book and Dance Committee have been introduced for student convenience. The Forum has recently sponsored the Senior Award System. ln a successful War Stamp and Bond Drive the Sl5,UOU goal was reached in one half the appointed time, and another SSl5,UOU goal was set. ln addition, control of the General Fund and of the Activities Fund goes to the Forum. Next year Brentwood may expect a revised Handbook from the Forum's eitorts as one of its many contributions to student welfare. Seniors are appreciative oi the opportunity to operate their own government. They congratulate their representatives on a successful year.

SE lllll UFPICEHS President .4 ....... .................... I ack Schmutz Vice President . . . .,.. lames Engel Secretary ...... .... A da Murray Treasurer .... .... O wen Fox With the conclusion of this school year we, as seniors, regret leaving Brent- wood High School. During these memorable years we have made many lasting friendships and have grown in stature and in wisdom. ln September the senior class met, and under the sponsorship of Mr. Potter elected class officers. Special high-lights of our senior year were the annual class party and Arsenic and Old Lace, the play in which nearly half the boys of the senior class died a violent but temporary death by poison. During the course of the year a number of students decided they could best serve their country by enlisting before graduation in the various armed forces. March first, another group of boys transferred to Defense School where they acquired skills in the manual arts so necessary tor supplying the fighting front. june second brought Commencement -ethis year more than ever a true commencement of a future uncertain yet fraught with opportunities to serve. For the part our years at Brentwood played in making us more able to serve, we are grateful, Antliemipage l5
