During its four years of existance, Brem- en has offered courses in eleven academic fields. These have been taught at all times by young, energetic, Well-qualified instructors. Extra-curricular activities, which in their first years provided ample opportunity for students to project their interests be- yond the classroom, and to grow socially, are now doing an even more effective job and through their outstanding accom- plishments, are making Bremen known throughout the conference as a school of progress. ln Bremen's first year, the various ath- letic teams were spirited and enthusiastic. And it is this spirit and enthusiasm that has carried them to outstanding confer- ence records for Bremen. A new 59851100 addition to Bremen will soon be completed. This probably illus- trates, as Well as anything, Bremen's pro- gressive nature. With the expanded and improved facilities that it will offer, this structure will enhance Bremen's outside beauty as Well as adding greatly to its academic and extra-curricular programs. lt is then to Bremen and to Progress that we dedicate this 1957 edition of the ARROW. , . , .. .

The addition to be completed next tall well represents this growth There is much more to a new addition than the tinished buildings. To better understand what is involved in an improvement such as this, we need to see the building grow from under the ground-fupf' The lirst step was the bond election held November TQ, l955. ln this, the voters ot Bremen Township decided that an addition to the high school, then tilled to capacity, was imperative. Ground '.i.' as broken August l5, l955. From then on con- struction progressed rapidly. Excavating began. ln Octo- ber l956, with the hard subfsoil reached, tootings were placed into position. Foundation forms were laid, tounclaf tions were poured. Finally in December lQ55 the foundaf tion for the new gym was completed. At that same time, all the toundations tor the twenty-tour classrooms had been poured, the building was well under way, Construction was halted during the latter part ot Def cember and throughout the month ot lanuary. Steel which was ordered had not yet arrived. l-lowever, the delay was temporary, the steel at last arrived. The walls began to rise, and the students and faculty looked tor- ward to a new year in a larger, more beautitul Bremen. Among the new facilities which this new addition will add to the school are a library, a music room, extended cateteria space, and more physical education facilities, including--fbest ot all-a new swimming pool. ,-11QQ. ff' ,,,,.,.-f-fe- A ' T V. , '3 .A , r Y Q, y . ........ 1...-.f -si ,-v Young, energetic, Well qualified, these Words Well describe our faculty for this year. lt consists of 36 men and 25 women, all of Whom are Well quali- fied and outstanding in their various fields. Our administrative personnel are also competent, Well qualified leaders. The strong support of our school organ- izations and the great desire of our fac- ulty and administration to meet the in- dividual needs of the students help to make Bremen the fine school it is today. ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY GLENN STARNER With his warm personality as one of his strong assets, Mr. Starner has met the many responsibilities of his job of administrative as- sistant to Mr. Birlchead very well. During his four years at Bremen, he has come to be known as a most congenial and a very helpful person. OUR SUPERINTENDENT Four years ago Bremen Community l-ligh School opened its door under the leadership of T. B. Birkhead. At that time there were 750 students in the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes. Bremen's l955-l957 enrollment is l235, and this year's senior class is the school's third graduating class. During these four years Mr. Birkhead has done an outstanding job in adminis- trating and establishing school policy. His judgment in the many important school matters which have confronted him has brought Bremen far in academic and com- munity standing. Under his supervision Bremen has grown considerably in size as well as in opportunities for intellectual and social growth. Surely much more progress will be made in the future with the larger teach- ing staff, new and better learning facili- ties, and the prudent leadership of our superintendent, Mr. Birkhead. O. W. YCJUNG Mr. Young came to Bremen two years ago, and has made himself indispensable. Among his many responsibilities he supervises the Bookstore and organizes and handles all the bus transportation for Bremen. I-le has per- formed his duties well and proven himself a very capable and friendly addition to the administrative staff. N M... . : ------ w ww V ..-me Y f f w.wM-vs THE BOARD OF EDUCATION THE PARENT TEACHERS ASSOCIATION The Parent Teacher Association ot Bremen Community High School was tirst tormed in l952, with Mrs. Arthur Weygandt as president, to provide a contact between parents and teachers and to keep them informed about the growth and development ot the school. Meetings are held in the school cate- teria on the second Wednesday ot each month. During the past year the P. T, A. has discussed, under the general theme, Our Community Grows Quantitatively and Qualitativelyf' such diverse sub- jects as school expansion, family rela- tions, and student government. During the April meeting parents had a chance to discuss course content with the class- room teachers ot their children. Pictured are the 1956-l957 otticers, trom lelt to right Mrs. V. S. Miller, His- torian, Mrs. B. A. Eckstrom, Presidentg Mrs. loseph Heitman, Secretary, Mrs. Glenn Sharp, Treasurerg and Mrs. lohn P. William, Vice President. The Board ot Education is made up ot some ot the leading business men and professional men ot Bremen Township. This year, the members ot the board, besides their many duties, have the new responsibility ot the over-seeing ot the construction ot the addition to the school building. This extra work has meant that the board president, Dr. Hedeen, has had to call bi-monthly meetings. ln the picture above, the members ot the board are surveying the blueprints tor the new addition. Seated from lett to right are: Steve Otrosa, Dr. Earle Hedeen, William Libbert, and Frank Tasseno. Standing are: T. B. Birlchead, Robert Anderson, Raymond Hall, and Kenneth Clauson.

Bremen can boast of a staff of women who are able to keep the school records, deal with correspondence, tend the switchboard, superintend the lost and found, locate any of the hun- dreds of people in the school, untan- gle the many difficulties of students and teachers and keep their cheer- fulness undiminished. Wearing their usual smiles as they look up from their work are, from left to right, Mrs. Edna Rupert, Mrs. Mar- wil Pooler, Miss Elaine Knauerhaze, and Mrs. Beverly Beaty. 5 f' x aZ 'f5 ,QJKKWJI Three lunch hours, perhaps the most welcome periods of the day, find students pouring into the cafe- teria, Under the supervision of Miss Mary L. l-larrison, School Dietitian, hot plate lunches are served to those students who go through the line: and sandwiches, milk and ice cream are available to supplement the lunches which some students bring from home. Pausing a moment between lunch periods, the people who prepare and serve this fine food are, from left to right, Mrs. Agnes laskowiak, Mrs. Buth Ramsay, Miss Harrison, Mrs. Gertrude Elatt, Mrs. Florence Tebow, Mrs. Mabel l-lillis, Arthur Ferguson, and Mrs, Mary L. Bentley. The spirit, beauty, and effectivee ness of a school depend in part on the condition of the buildings, and a warm, clean school is apt to have happy, industrious students. Bremen owes a great deal to its efficient maintenance staff. l-leaded by Mr. Baymond Ketelboeter, this group of hard working people creates a pleas- ant atmosphere for study and play. Seated from left to right are Mr. Koetelboeter, Theodore Beimer, Mrs. Virginia Stricker, and Earl Landry. Standing are Martin Orman, Bobert Painter, and I-larry Billadeau. STUDENTS lntroducing . . . the students, Without Whom Bremen car1't get along. We tur- nish the humor and the pathos, the spice to what could be a dull routine. Because We are often unpredictable and even unreliable, we sometimes cause headaches. Yet our good mo'- ments are numerous enough to make school life very Worth-while. Many stu' dents go out of their Ways to help others and to help the school. These students are typical of Bremen. September l956fSeniors at lastl This year was a quick one. Class pictures were taken, the Prom was held, several students took scholarship exams, the D. A. B. award was made, and the Honors Day Assembly was held. All this was accompanied by the usual whirl ot athletic games, dances, homework, and exams. l75 Seniors will accept diplomas from Bremen Community High School Tune 6, l957. Ot these, l2U received their entire high school education at Bremen. The paths that will be tollowed by the mem- bers ot the class are varied. Whether they attend college, marry, or take their place in the world ot work, we trust that they will carry with them and use always their years ot education at Bremen. Pictured during a meeting are the mem- bers ot the Senior Senate. From leit to right, Tom Bush, Nancy Wilborn, Art Bond, and Linda Biezinger. Unpictured: Breta lledeen and Marge Mann. SENIOR CLASS introducing . . . Bremen's third graduat- ing class. ln its tirst torm, it was a group ot 225 Freshmen who stumbled into the cafeteria tor the tirst time. These Fresh- men enjoyed the benetits ot a newly con- structed building with many facilities. As the class oi '57 progressed into its Sophomore year, so did its interest in school and school activities increase. The members attended several dances and parties. They sponsored a dance. They engaged in extraecurricular activities with great enthusiasm. Not only had they thus grown socially and mentally, but by lune 1955, the class enrollment had increased to 23l ln September l955 the class ot '57 came back to Bremen 205 strong, looking with much zeal toward its lunior year. Alter nine months, with constitution tests passed, term papers written, class rings purchased, the Prom over, and tinals com- pleted, the class ot '57 ended its third year of high school. Pictured in the library are the Senior class officers, trom lett to right, Marla Olson, Secretary, Fred Swanson, Treasurer, Ralph Vennetti, Vice President, and George Stoltz.

The Advanced Mixed Chorus boasted twenty luniors, and many others were members of the various other Glee Clubs. ln May the lunior Class gave the Prom, probably this was its biggest single ac- complishment of the year. And suddenly Tune is here. The lunior class looks forward to next year with mixed emotions, they are proud of the progress of this past year and very happy for the chance to enter Bremen next year as Seniors. From left to right are Helen Keuch, Nancy Campbell, Sandy Siemsen, Karen Tower, Preston Wakeland, Helen Morris, Barbara Garry, Rust Callahan, ludy Mead, Norma Iohnson, and loAnne Rizzuti, members of the lunior Class Council, making plans for the Prom. Last fall students and faculty looked to the lunior class for new leaders and new ideas. These new upperclassmen took on the challenge with pride and determina- tion, and when the results were recorded, they had passed the test. They had supported their teams in every sport. The lunior cheerleaders were always there leading them on. The band, too, marched, obviously proud of the Red and Gray. lunior class officers, comparing notes be- tween classes, are, from left to right, Geor- gette Zirbes, Vice President, Gary DuBois, President, lan Carlson, Secretary, and Dee lohnson, Treasurer.

The class of '59 began its education at Bremen in September 1955 as a body of 395 freshmen. By the spring of 1958, the members were anticipating not only the forthcoming summer vacation, but also the chance to come back to Bremen as Freshmen-taunting Sophomores. And that they did! ln true Sophomore form, they engaged in such practices as giving confusing directions and selling elevator passes to the poor, unsuspecting Fresh- men. The Sophomores really were inter- ested in orienting the Freshmen, however, and in November they sponsored the Har- vest Hop which was a get-acquainted dance held especially for the Freshmen. Pictured by the south stairway are the Sophomore class officers, from left to right, lackie 1VlcChane, Treas- urer, Bill Hoffman, Secretary, Charlie Smith, President, and Pete Postle- waite, Vice President. SOPHOMORE CLASS The entire 1956-1957 Frosh-Soph cheer- leading squad was made up of Sopho- mores. The gifted girls who were selected were Sandy Bonaker, Dawn Hartwig, Di- ann Koss, and luanita McPhearson. This school year was a very good one for Bremen's 368 Sophomores, and they are looking forward with highest hopes to their last two years as upper classmen at Bremen. Enjoying themselves at the Harvest 1-lop are, from left to right, Ted An- thony, ludy Hillis, Mr. and Mrs. Vann, Miss Iohnson, Ann Christiansen, and Iohn Swanson. at .E.., in 53? 3 ,J 'MW J -V :I .4 Q. ,E an 1,04 me W 'i 2 Q it 1 X 4 ,Q ,kay tl wt if 5 'K .... :Af ,M -' V ' ..':2-2-:uf ',5!:tfL525 ,,, ft'f5 5,if:E3:fW 5 L?+'??.EQ3gLf1?E3aKMf2, :H M jg v is ' -fx: Agn- - :p:-':xg:.5g we MM Q , SE 'i X Wally Adamski Linda Allemang Gerald Anderson Betty Andrysiak Maria Avellano Iackie Bagdones Dan Baker lack Baker loan Beaman lane Benson Shirley Bettenhaus Elizabeth Biang Margie Billadeau Gail Bisaga Bill Blazejak Sandra Bodin Elaine Bogard George Bolda Sandy Bonaker Myra Bowers Sharron Boyle Ed Brown Betty Browne loe Bruckman Don Buchhaas Ron Buikema Edward Burton Richard Bussian Bob Butterfield Elaine Butzer Richard Campbell Ken Carlson Faith Carpenter Carolyn Carter Pat Cessford Kexn Chalden Roland Chard Richard Chasny Ioel Christianson Bob Cidell Iohn Ciserella Kathleen Cloonan Gerry Coad Pat Coad Allan Colby Beverly Coleman Earle Coleman Harold Coley Iudy Connolly lrene Corradini Tom Costello Ron Coyle Larry Cunningham lanice Curulewski Al Cusic Rosemarie Czappa Wayne Darby William Darby Kenneth Davis Marie Davis Ronald DeGraaf Pat DeGroate Bill Demeris Iohn Detrick Nancy Detrick Pat DeVault Iudy DeVos Barbara DeWelt Ron Dobkowski Marilyn Dolph Sharon Dotts Dianne Downen Ray Downey Oda Drake Craig Drulke Ron Drugula Valentine Dzurny Wally Eggert Leo Elliott Ted Emmett Iudy Erickson Iudy Eslick Marilynn Faber Mike Field Ion Firpach Sarah Flatt Gordon Flaws Craig Foster Iim Foster Ed Franke Karen Frye Richard Frye Iohn Furler Rich Gallagher Carole George Bob Gest David Gibbs Bob Giden Bob Gifford Lowell Gilbert lennifer Gilman Wayne Gobel Rich Goederd Dale Goesel Robert Grossenbacher Madeleine Haase Barry Haber Doug Haddon Stewart Hamilton Bobby Hampton Karen Hanna Chuck Hansen loe Hansen Benny Hardy Carol Harness Peter Hartkins lim Hartmann Dawn Hartwig Shirley Haven Fred Heft Iohn Heil Alan Heitman Ronald Henning Iirn Herrington Ardith Hickman Steve Hinger Lee Hinman Ted Hoeller Bill Hoffman Barbara Hogan Ronnie Hague Nancy Homolka Lana Hopman Larry lng Tim Iames Laverne Iankowski Dennis Iebens Art Iennrich Irene Ienson ludy lenter Melissa Iohns Rosalie Iohns Allan Iohnson Beverly Iohnson Kathy Iohnson Marilyn Iohnson Marion Iohnson Barbara Iones Susan Ionker Stan Iurek Larry juris Iohn Kaufmann Anne Kelly Iill Kelly Iudy Kelly Louis Kent Walter Ketel Stanley Ketsios Dolores Keuch Mary Ellen Keuch Sarah King Charlene Kiupelis Virginia Knight Magaret Kobrnann Iune Koby Dianne Koss Ron Kozel Karen Krahn Steve Krause Tom Kruege ludy Krull Bob Krygowski Marilyn Kuczaik Marion Kuhlmann Lynn Kunkel Torn Kunkel writ grx x E x X A A g H .V I . .Z I ,, .

Taking a break. Sandy Bonaker at the piano accompanies a group All this tun and refreshments, too ot untrained, unskilled vocalists who entertained, unrequested, at the Harvest Hop. Watch those fancy steps. iff The Freshman class was bigger this year than ever before. 455 green Freshies entered Bremen's doors last September, representing the sixteen grammar schools in Bremen township. ln November, after an arduous cam- paign, Donna Olson was elected by the class as Freshman Senator to the Student Council, and in February, an equally hard-fought campaign resulted in the elec- tion of the first officers of the Freshman Class. Checking party plans are the Fresh- man Class officers, from left to right, leanette Ftizzuti, President, Pat Sabin, Treasurerg Roberta Trump, Vice Pres- ident, and Carol McBee, Secretary. FRESHMAN CLASS Many Freshmen attended a get-ac- auainted party sponsored by the Sopho- mores in November. ln March the Fresh- men reciprocated with a class party to which they invited the Sophomores. Freshmen indicated their interest in ath- letics by having players in all the various sports and by supporting the teams in great numbers. Other extra-curricular ac- tivities gained many Freshmen members. From all indications, the class of '60 will be one of Bremen's finest. At any rate we wish them continued success in their last three years at Bremen. Upperclassman Ernie Pritchard sur- prises confused Freshman David Kuykendall descending the Up stair- way. From his smile, however, we believe that the Freshie has nothing to fear.

The range ot selection is large. To required courses, we add several others ot our own choosing that tit our expectations for the future. Classroom learning is not continecl to reading material and tests. We use labs, shops, ot- fice practice rooms, audio-visual aids, and tield trips to make our class Work more interesting and iruitiul. INTRODUCING COURSES AND CLASSES 'lr COMMERCIAL Bremen's Commercial department emphasizes the preparation ot students who can take their places in the world of business-either as business men and Women Who depend on business tor their livings, or as consumers Who are daily affected by business. The use ot business machines is taughtg with the aid of a Welleeguipped otlice practice room, business students learn correct usage of typewriters, dic- taphones, comptometers, and various types ot adding machines. ln such classes as bookkeeping, law, geography, and Business Training l and ll, students learn the theory behind what goes on in our World ot business as well as how it may serve him most advantageously. Taking dictation and typing can be tun with the use ot Bremens oilice practice room, as is shown by Vicki Grant, HOME ECONOMICS ln the picture above, Sharon Stephens is trying on an almost completed dress so that Mary Meri can measure the hem for her. Courses in the Home Economics department are designed to acquaint students with all phases ot homemaking as they Will encounter it in the marriageftamily situation. By incorporating such vital topics as clothing, meal manage- ment, nutrition, child care, and money management into its cur- riculum, the department prepares its students to meet the de- mands ot a well managed home, a happy, healthy family, and an attractive, well-rounded personality. LANGUAGE ARTS Bremens Language Arts department serves more students than any other academic department in the school. Along with the state-required three years ot English, courses in Spanish, Latin, speech, journalism, and English lV are offered, The ultimate goal of the department is to improve and de- velop students' ability in both written and oral communication. Written and oral reports, panel discussion, debate, dramatics, and class give-andetake are among the many stimulating methods used by the department to reach this high goal. ln the speech class pictured below, Rich Cook is tape recorde ing an informal talk given by Marla Olson. The tape, played back later, will enable Marla to analyze her voice and delivery. YM- A W-nm-www-ffwwweaww -- MATHEMATICS Diagrams and models help these students to understand some ot the abstract concepts ot mathematics. Pictured from lett to right are Preston Wakeland, Bob l-lenner, Charles Tedbow, and Karen Tower. There are two main objectives basic to the Mathematics cle- partment: to give the student those mathematical concepts, skills, and techniques which he will need to understand and control his environment, to reveal to the student the important role mathe- matics has played and will continue to play in the development ot our civilization. The Mathematics department otters courses in algebra, plane and solid geometry, advanced algebra, college algebra, and trigonornetry. Two years ot general mathematics are also ottered. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Students in Bremen's Physical Education department participate in many varied athletic activities. Eootball, basketball, volleyball, soccer, field hockey, tumbling, dancing, golf, and baseball are among the many sports included. Added to this are tirst aid, health, and hunting and tishing which are class- room studies in the department. The Physical Education department not only Works toward building stronger and healthier bodies, but it also prepares students to be able to maintain and guard their health through proper usage of the body. Pictured are some of the activities which go on in the gym. The girls practicing their golt swing are, trom lett to right, Linda Spell, ludy Erickson, and Maida Lewis.

Pictured above are, from left to right, Martin Zimberofi, lim lanies, and Barbara Iones dissecting a perch, their midwinter biology class project. SCIENCE To develop understanding of scientific principles and to train boys and girls to apply these principles in their every day living is one of the primary objectives of science courses and one which Bremen's Science department seeks to meet to the fullest extent, The department offers a four year science course. The freshman course incorporates fundamentals of biology, chemistry, and physics into one year of science study. This course also brings to students basic concepts of scientific method and attitude. The students may then gain more complete science backgrounds by tak-- ing one year courses in biology, chemistry and physics. Each of these is supplemented with laboratory periods in which practical application and more complete understanding of facts learned becomes possible. Drawing Class-Lewis Arts and Crafts Hansen INDUSTRIAL ARTS Bremen's lndustrial Arts department prepares its students for positions in several vocations. The freshman takes a course in vocational survey which enables him to get a general view ot the types oi work oitered in the industrial arts tield. More advanced work is then taken by the older students in metal- working, wood working and drafting. Equipment in the shops enables the student to understand more fully actual shop procedure and method. Next year the department will oiier a more complete vocational education with the addition ot an electricity course and one in auto-mechanics. included in this department also are the Arts and Crafts courses so enjoyed by Bremen students. Ottering students an opportunity to work in several media, these courses are oi value not only as vocational training, but also as hobby building.

SOCIAL STUDIES As independent people living in a democracy, We have a great responsi- bility. We must be Well informed about the workings of our social environ- ment and understand fully our system of government if We are to preserve our freedom. Bremen's Social Studies department offers a Well rounded four year course. The basic subject, Social Studies l, is required of every freshman, and it orients the student to high school life. Problems relating to family, teachers, community, and many other vital topics are discussed in this first year. Other courses are world history, American history, sociology, govern- ment, senior problems, and economics, all meet in various Ways the students' needs to understand better the relationship of past events to present living and to comprehend the workings of the World around him. SPORTS Whether it's tall, winter, or spring, Bremen is involved in ath- letic contests, and Bremen students are on the scene cheering the Braves to victory. Enjoyment of athletics does not stop with the noise and excitement ot the football field, the basketball lloor, and the baseball lield, how- ever. Pep assemblies in which the entire student body is on hand to shout the school cheers, and sing the school song Well illustrate Bremen's enthusiasm tor sports. We are proud of the Braves and of their many accomplishments. Let's look further then and see just who make up this important part ot our school lite.

FOOTBALL The 1955 Bremen Braves varsity was a good start, not-so-good finish team, tor in about halt ot the games the team took the lead and lost it in the second halt. However, all the opponents were tough, every team played was out tor revenge from a school which was unbeaten last year. The Braves did have some high points such as tying the heavily favored Oak Lawn Spartans, shutting out the Mustangs trom Ever- green, and edging the Beavis Rams. But second half losses to teams such as Sandburg, Lincolnway, and Bich kept them from winning their second championship in as many years. The little Braves were in a tight tor the Frosh-Soph champion- ship throughout the season, and it wasnt until the last game against Bich that they were eliminated, l9 to 6, This was the best Frosh- Soph team statistic-wise, since Bremen's tirst year when we had an unbeaten, twice-tied team. Not only has this team much to be proud of, but also it otters Bremen much cause tor optimism when looking to the tootball tuture. Sept. Sept. Sept. Oct. Gct. Oct.

BASKETBALL As in the case of the football team, the l956-57 Bremen Varsity Basketball squad had its troubles in the first half of the season. The Braves came up with only three wins in their first nine games, losing four of the six losses by three points or less. ln the second half of the season in which they got rematches against all the teams which had beaten them earlier, they came back sensationally, winning seven and losing three to square up for the year. This team accomplished something no other Bremen team had ever done, in that they won a Regional tournament game, downing Thornton Fractional. Bremen's fans were also proud that this year Dale Hartwig C6-lj, forward, won the Southwest Suburban Conference scoring cham- pionship. As usual in Bremen basketball, the little Braves finished close to but not on top. This edition of the Bremen Frosh-Soph lost out on second place in the last game of conference play. At any rate the team made a good showing in the basketball wars by downing seven conference foes against five setbacks. This team's victory path followed to an extent that of the Varsity, in that they dropped six of their first nine.

Bremen, after suffering via the graduation route, wasn't ex- pected to do much but came up with some surprising victories. Out- standing individual feats in the conference meet and sectional meet, plus the sending of two boys, Oda Drake and George Avellano, down state to the state Wrestling tournament, brought praise from everyone. ln the conference meet Bremen gained the following record: lst place--George Aveliano l38 lbs., 2nd placefOda Drake lU3 lbs., foe Ciserella, ll2 lbs., lerry Lewis l33 lbs., 3rd placeAADan lonker, 95 lbs., Allen Parker l65 lbs., Louis Kent l2U lbs., lim Meuller l27 lbs., flth place-loe Lundy l75 lbs., Erland Persson HW. ln the Sectional meet we had the following, 2nd place George Avellano and Oda Drake, 3rd place lerry Lewis. The Prosh-Soph team was a mediocre team winning some over- whelming victories and also the reverse. The boys finished the season with a losing record, but with an even mark of three and three. They made a fine showing in the conference meet finishing third. The following boys finished in the top four in the conference meet: 2nd-Norm Swanson ll2 lbs., Leo Elliot l38 lbs., Andy Hardy 3rd-Mike Bope lU3 lbs., Bon Chard l2U lbs., Bob Grossenbacher l27 lbs., Bob lerkatis l45 lbs., Bon Dobkowski l75 lbs., 4th place-Al Mirande l33 lbs., Arnold Blatt l54 lbs., Larry Burns l65 lbs.

'Non-conference opponent BASEBALL Last year's baseball team was potentially the finest team in Bremen's three year history. lt had a good, but not spectacular record. The one problem in this well rounded team was lack of experience. The Bremen starting lineup had two seniors, three juniors, three sophomores, and a pitching staff including only one senior. In tournament play last year, Bremen gained a fine record by winning three games from some of the area's top teams before being downed by a good Bloom team. This year's starting lineup will be identical with last year's with only two exceptions, and our team should win the Southwest Suburban Conference Championship. From left to right, Row li L.
