Memories were possibly the most important oc- currences in the student life. One could not walk the hall of this school without hearing someone recall an unforgettable occasion or finding a scrap of crepe paper left as a haunting reminder of what once happened here. , ' The Junior-Senior prom took place in May of 1971, and proved to be the most sophisticated event of the year. Bouquets, formals, tuxedos, pictures, and keepsakes revealed the students' transformation into an adult figure. The post-prom and picnic took their places in the hearts of those who attended. May also brought the graduation of seniors and the changing of seats for underclassmen. The se- niors slowly relinquished their places of honor and mounted the steps to thelstage, while the juniors and sophomores readied themselves for the mad rush. When the signal was given by Mr. Pitts, in- sanity broke loose as the luniors became number one and Sophomores number two. Sultry summer days found the Brazil High School Show Band preparing for State Fair Band Day. Impressive black flags and pom pons, along with a fantastic routine brought twenty-eighth place to the Marching Red Devils. 'All the work, excitement, and the Marott Hotel could hardly be forgotten by anyone involved. ' Sophomore class rings were ordered once again this year. The day was not only memorable to that class but upperclassmen as well. Nothing could be purchased in the bookstore on the day they were ordered or the day they were received. The re- mainder of that week and the next was marked with the wild gestures so common to a sophomore hand on which rests a newly acquired class ring. The year of 1971-1972 was unique for other reasons as well. lt was clear that a challenge was extended and accepted by students who proved worthy of their 'responsibilities LEFT.

The student life was sometimes sad, happy, come plex, and simple. Activities were all things to all people. Things taken for granted by underclassmen often were considered as turning points in the lives of Seniors. Changing of the seats affected Seniors in an entirely different way than the Juniors and Sopho- mores. While it was ended for the Seniors, it had only begun for Juniors. Facial expressions told the whole story. Prom time was a very active period in the life of Juniors. There were committees to work on, decora- tions to order, and Rex Soap to sell. A few Seniors felt the sting of being left out of the planning of such an important activity. For the past three years the Junior class has been making an excursion to Spring Mill. This trip seemed to make history come alive to the students that attended. They were able to walk the same paths once trod by Granny White. The plays presented by the Ravon and National Thespian Society involved an extensive cross section of Brazil students. Regardless of injuries sustained, students never seemed to tire of producing these creative works of genius. Sets in Lili Abner , Alice in Wonderland , and Guys 'n' Dolls were existing proof of artistic ability and long hours of work. The corridors are plastered with the reminders of students. After school had long ended, one could walk the halls and hear the echoes of students' voices. The laughter, sadness, complexity, and simple- ness seemed to remain behind. It was perfectly clear that the life of the student influences not only himself but the school as well. LEFT. Senior Paula Broady views the world from a lofty perch. TOP.
