Neill Assists Hays This 1968-69 school year observed the second anniversary of Mr. Robert Hays as principal of Brush High School. In addition, a newly created office of assistant principal was held by Mr. Edward Neill. Mr. Neill, before taking this position, had been a sponsor of F.T.A., along with his teaching duties in the English Depart- ment. Still fulfilling the academic part of his career, he gave up this sponsorship. Together Mr. Hays and Mr. Neill carried out the official obligations as leaders of the B.H.S. faculty. Also, the messages in the paper to the students have been featured as an extra for the benefit of the pupils, to hear from these experienced men. The Journalism class congratulates Mr. Hays and welcomes Mr. Neill.

If we are quite honest ourselves, we won’t anticipate deceit in others. If we are being inclined to be fair, we won't feel that we are being cheated. In a sense, looking at the people around us is like looking in a mirror—we see a reflection of ourselves. Hopefully you have had the opportunity at Brush High School to create a self of which you can be proud—a self that has the tenacity to get the job done and not lose empathy with his fellow man. Hopefully your years at Brush High School have aided you in developing a self that will withstand the tests of the future and allow you a productive and satisfying

To be successful in life, you must decide to succeed-and work. During the 1968-1969 school year we all had occasion to work for the benefit of our community. This was working for the passage of a bond issue to construct a new high school. We are all happy that this was successful and that the new school will be a reality. It is with a great deal of pride that I commend the student body and especially the members of the class of 1969 for the part they played in this program. 1 know that your efforts will bring many rewards in the years to come. You have accom- plished one goal in the building of a better tomorrow and have done this without personal gain for yourself. WAYNE M. BROWER, SUPT.
