T Vll loCa °yRoOTl£ An inspiration to the students of Brackenridge is our Dean of Girls, Miss Viola Moore. All the girls of Brackenridge are her girls, to whom she offers her advice and counsel. We respect Miss Moore, we appreciate her, and we love her for her understanding character. To Miss Moore, the girls of Brackenridge owe their understanding of the high morals of womanhood. Miss Moore is not a person who will be forgotten in the heart of any girl in school. She lives the kind of life that is honored by everyone who knows her. Her efforts as our Dean of Girls are not in vain, for her understanding guidance will always be an inspiration to the girls of Brackenridge throughout their future lives. PAGE 20

TOLLE...................Historian ★ ★ ★ In no other organization in Brackenridge has the idea of being American been better shown than in the Parent-Teacher Association. Working together with a renewed spirit of democratic friendliness, the organization has taken a wartorn year in its stride and continued its work of unselfish service for which it is so well known. With a membership of 523, the association has been active in many school affairs. Early in the year the purchase of a nickelodeon, to be used for school dances, made the student body happy. On November 17, the annual Open House, honoring the fathers, was held in the school cafeteria, and, in May, a lovely twilight tea was held in the Crystal Room of the Aurora Hotel for all honor graduates. Conscious of a need to be filled in the tremendous war effort, the members of the P.T.A. gave their services as War Bond salesmen once a month at a local store, and they also collected and distributed magazines at Brooke General Hospital. To the Parent-Teacher Association the students of Brackenridge express a sincere thank-you for its guidance and interest in so many of our activities. PAGE 22
