During the progression of the Brazil school year, the student passed through many little happenings both social as well as educational which made the year enjoyable. Different aspects of education prepared the student for his future role in society, and the present was highlighted by various en- joyable moments. The fall semester turned heads to athletic events, and eyes focused on football. Pep and vitality generated by the Boys and Girls Pep Clubs were transmitted to the team helping the team gain victories. ln October, much work was applied to Homecoming activities. The floats, produced by all three classes, were pronounced by all as aesthetic works of art. At seven thirty the unveiling started and the floats traveled the circumference of the football field. To the surprise of some the float contest was won by the Juniors. The air of December was filled with the cheering of Hoosier Hysteria fans and the caroling voices of students that braved the elements to spread Christmas cheer. Another group that tried to further the magic of Christmas was the Student Council. Many of the students brought canned goods to school to assist the Council in preparing the baskets for the needy. Spirit Week preceded the basketball sectional. lt was a time of decorations, enthusiasm, noise, and rivalry among the classes. Halls were decorated to the fullest extent as the classes vied for the championship. Skits were written by all the classes and were presented to the student body. When spring arrived thoughts turned toward the prom. Juniors hectically assembled columns, fences, and ordered various other decorations. Especially prevalent in this season was the coming of the end of school, and a little thing such as a final walk with that special person made the year enjoyable. . I ' LEFT.

Trying moments are not to be forgotten. Soph- omores were examples of a constantly frantic, constantly lost mass of individuals. Wandering from floor to floor, room to room, they gradually became acquainted with the school in which their most im- portant years will be spent. Bookstore and cafeteria lines provided the ever- present chaos that has always accompanied the September opening. The pushing, crowding, and shoving proved to be the usual procedure for getting the first lunch ticket of the season. Due to the excess of assignments from the teachers and the extracurricular school activities, one found that time was not his own. The bopping around, parties, and fun in general were given to a much nobler cause known as homework. The de- manding schedule of school life was more than some could, or rather, would bear. This accounts for the rise and fall of student morale and the grades. Many sleepy afternoons were spent in the audi- torium watching a spectacular movie. Then there were some who were fortunate enough to have had convocations coincide with their favorite class, study hall. Among the other exasperating problems which are remembered by all Brazil students were: lockers that refused to open or close, books which disap- peared in the discourse of time, and those wonder- ful hours that were spent in detention, resulting from those one-too-many unexcused tardies. These are all memories of the past year. Even though the happenings are gone, they are planted in our minds for the years to come. We will always remember these little exasperating moments, along with the enjoyable moments, that were shared in this school year. Who could ever forget the crossing of Highway 59 during the rainy season? Each student who attended lunior High classes was in on the action. LEFT.
