Mr. Phillips DEDICATION The Senior Class proudly dedicates the 1949 ECHO to Mr. Charles Phillips, who has ever been striving to raise the standards of Brookville High School. His endless efforts as Junior High School Principal, Athletic Director, and teacher of Algebra are a great asset to the students and the school. He is very capable of arousing enthusiasm among the students to follow the athletics of the school. We have all experienced his pleasant supervision either as our teacher or director. Mr. Phillips is completing his twentieth year at Brookville High School, and we hope that he may have many more pleasant years to inspire future classes of B. H. S. We wish to express, in this dedication, our sincere thanks and appreciation to Mr. Phillips for his wholehearted efforts and guidance in our schools.

Miss Ellis 01 R FAVORITE TEACHER In Room 217, we found a new teacher this year. Last September we entered her classes with a questioning and undecided attitude, but it was not long until she became our favorite teacher. Yes, it’s Violet Ellis, our Senior English Teacher. Admired for her good nature, her unexcelled understanding of our problems, her fine sense of values, and her scintillating wit, this outstanding teacher gave us an example of character that many seek to achieve. She showed us in her inimitable way the human side of English Literature; the importance of vocabulary and composition; and, above all, the necessity of a well-rounded education. Her classes, which were interesting and educational, were often enlivened with her humorous remarks. Thanks a million, Miss Ellis, for everything you’ve done for the “Forty-Niners.”
