jtiuiiiiUi.i.'.IJ.L'.UX!: National Honor Society of Secondary Schools NE of the outstanding achievements of the year was the receipt of a charter from the National Honor Society for Secondary Schools. The purpose of the Brookville Chapter of the National Honor Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the pupils of the Brookville High School. The election of members is based on the following qualifications: scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Only fifteen per cent of the Senior class are eligible for election and five per cent of the Junior class may be chosen the last month of school. These members are chosen by a council composed of members of the faculty. The students who have been chosen are: Clair Allshouse, president Marjorie Whaley, vice president Hasson Rockey, secretary and treasurer Mary Snyder Helen Briggs Thomas Michael Helen Hughes Evelyn Trais’ter Eugene Monnoyer Arnold Clover Elizabeth McKinley MEMORIALS For the past few years, it has been the custom for each class that graduates from our High School, to leave with this institution some memorial which will show the respect and appreciation of the class. The class of 1925 was the first to adopt this custom, and since that time, each class has left its memorial, with the hope that it will show the gratitude of the class. The memorials of the different classes are as follows: Class of 1925—Velvet Stage Curtains. Class of 1926—Stage Furniture; Plaque—“Landing of Columbus. Class of 1927—Orthophonic Victrola. Other memorials of friends of the school have been: Class of 1929—Plaque— Washington Crossing the Delaware. Room 6 (1927-1928) Plaque “The Triumphal Entry of Alexander Into Babylon.” Dr. Wayne L. Snyder, class of 1901—Electric Radio; Wall cases containing relics of the World War. Mrs. Martha Shiffert—“Encyclopedia Britannica. Mr. W. H. Gray—Picture of the Flag.

UAnnuaire, Brookville High School Art (C)NE of the most interesting rooms in our building is the art room. Students working in this room under the supervision of Miss Olive Jacobs, have an opportunity to apply their originality and inventiveness, to learn to love color and good form and to make some dreams come true. This year, the work done in the Art Room has proved most successful. This has been due partly, to the fact that there is a new, well equipped art room.. The room, with its large windows, admitting sufficient light, is most attractive. On the wall are hung the hand work of the pupils—pencil and charcoal drawings, lettering, block printed cards and book plates as well as the very colorful paintings on glass, the landscape sketches in pastel and travel posters and designs. The training is practically the same each year, but new problems are introduced from time to time to increase the enthusiasm. As the results are placed on the wall, the work of each class increases the interest of the other classes. The practical side of our Art Course is evidenced by the attractive cards made and sent out by the pupils at Christmas, by the painted scarfs some of our girls wear and by the book-ends, telephone screens, table scarfs and pictures which decorate the homes of our art students. It is truly worth while to attend classes held in this room. Page Twenty-two

L’Annuaire, Brookville High School Office CT fHIS picture shows Professor Mcllhattan in his office. It is in this room and in the outer office that the business of the school is transacted. A filing cabinet, which does not show, is in the corner opposite Mr. Mcllhattan. The safe and the other desk fill two more corners. Our National Honor Society Charter is conspicuously hung. Miss Anchor s office is on the other side of the door. Perhaps the most interesting object is the clock furnished with an electric bell system. Near the door is the fire-alarm button. On the walls are framed photographs of other schools, pageants, and former high school classes. A mimeograph, a wide carriage typewriter, a standard typewriter, and an adding machine are examples of our fine office equipment. Over the desk one notices this: CODE OF A GOOD SPORT 1. Thou shalt not quit. 2. Thou shalt not offer any alibi. 3. Thou shalt not gloat over winning. 4. Thou shalt not be a poor loser. 5. Thou shalt not take unfair advantage. 6. Thou shalt not ask odds thou are unwilling to give. 7. Thou shalt always he ready to give thine opponent the shade of advantage. 8. Thou shalt not under-estimate any opponent, or overestimate thyself. 9. Thou shalt root with all thy might, but in rooting a good sport will root right. 10. Honor the game thou playest, for he who playeth the game straight and hard wins even when he loses. Page Twenty-four
