It is filled with souvenirs and thoughts of the wonderful days spent at Brernan Hi h. gAs we look back upon the years we spent there we re- member, first, the teachers who helped make it possible for us to be what we are today. We remember them and thank them for the patience, leadership, and guidance they gave us while we struggled with our lessons and problems. We also want to thank again the administration for being understanding and thoughtful enough to let us have all the parties, parades, and dances we had while we were in high school. We re- member in particular the times we were excused from school to see General Eisenhower and Governor Stevenson who were campaigning for the presidency. We're going to open the lid now and let you see what we did during our senior year. Maybe you'll remember some of these events too. Mary Stoller Editor 2 EMI Everett Shively John B. Morland W. W.

The business managers took care of the sales campaign which opened with a dance in the cafeteriag and collected from the boosters. The photographers took lots of pictures and the art editor made the cover drawing and the other pictures for the division pages. 1-fa 5 Y Back row: Jim Koontz, Photog- rapher: Bradley Robinson, Business manager.

SECTION EDITORS Here are the ambitious workers who got our Sprig together. The pictures were taken for the annual in October. The editors got the Sprig pages set up and then the classes and faculty editors started writing the different stories. Don't think that wasn't a lot of hard work! The typists typed like mad to meet the deadlines on time and the rriounters got paste all over themselves. Although it was a. lot of hard work it was also a lot of fun.

Of course, we were all excited about entering high school. There were 67 eager beavers in our freshman class counting the three students from the Lutheran School, Senior Class Officers: Sue Swank, h ' vice president: John Buck, president: Loren Felten, Marcia Whitsel, and Dor- MUY Beth TeShfmeYe'- Secfefafyi othy Sahlhoff. That year we allbought Pep Janet Koontz, treasurer. Cat Hats which were the beginning of the souvenirs we have collected in our four years of high school. From our sophomore year we added our Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y mem- bership cards to our collection. John Buck, from Chicago, was added to our class. Our junior year was packed full of memories and souvenirs. In the fall we sold magazines and ordered our class rings. This was a new adventure for all of us. The class officers were Mary Stoller, president: Allen Molebash, vice president: Treva Yoder, secretary: and Donald Corl, treasurer. A well worn play book is a reminder of our junior play, Men Are Like Streetcars, which was work but a lot of fun. For our prom we tried a new idea--we decorated and used both the gym and cafeteria. The theme for our prom was Alohoa. We made palm trees and grass huts like mad. We worried about the scotch tape holding, but in the evening everything was in place and the prom was a success. At the end of our junior year we elected Bradley Rob- inson to go to Boys State and John Buck, president: Sue Swank, vice president, Janet Koontz, treasurer, and Mary Beth Teghtmeyer, sec- retary for our senior class officers. Our senior year there were three new students added to our class. The two exchange students were Eva Salzer from Austria and Flory Kreuzwendedich Von Dem Borne from The Netherlands. Dick Buell also entered the class from Legioner. Some important people in our school were in our senior class. Janet Koontz and Bradley Robinson were elected president and vice president of student council, and Janet also received the D. A. R. good citizen award. Five senior boys helped make the baseball team the country champs and three were on the basketball team. Two senior girls were elected cheer leaders. With commencement and our diplomas we closed our treasure chest of souvenirs. Of our high school years, the last was the most important but we will never forget the other three. 9 TW' SENIOR ACTIVITIES As we entered our last year in Bremen High there were ten Band members, nineteen girls in Tri-Hi- Y, Eight boys in Hi-Y, four F. F., A. members, nine F, T. A, members, eleven girls in G, A, A., five Drama members and eight on the Breeze Staff. There were numerous other activities which some of the Seniors participated in, Some of our money raising ac- tivities were, in our Junior year, Junior Play and the Magazine Sales. In our Senior year Candy Sales, Cloak Room, Sprig Jig, Bake Sales, after game dances, Chili Supper, and Sen- ior Play which closed our Senior year.

JUNIORS As we look back on the class of '54, we find that they were mighty busy but found time for activities also. As we saw them that year they were represented in Student Council by Terry Schurr, Chet Cardelino, and Eugene Perrot. Their sponsors that year were Mrs, Molebash, Mr. Koontz, and Mr. Yoder. In activities there were seven in Hi-Y, ten in Tri-Hi-Y, nine represented in Concert Choir, sixteen were taking part in Band, five were in G.A.A., sixteen in Drama, sixteen on the Breeze Staff, eight boys seemed interested in F.F.A., four in F.T.A., and six in 4-H. Also out of the Junior Class they had five on the basketball team and two varsity cheerleaders. We believe as Juniors they were a pretty nice group of kids.

SOPHOMORES 'The sophomore class of 52-53 was an up-and-coming group of students. They were in many organizations which qualified them to be the next year's upper classmen. There were four sophomores in concert choir and thirteen played in band. Eight belonged to drama club and five helped on the Breeze staff. Four boys were in Hi-Y, eleven in F. F, A. and two in 4-H. Five girls were in Tri-Hi-Y and eleven in G, A. A, Eight boys played on the second team. Sherry Swank, Alta Soales, and Linda Schuck were the B team cheer- leaders. Two sophomore boys advanced to the ranks of the first team. We know the class was proud of the good work done by all the boys. There were three guidance rooms for the sophomore class. Miss Tyler, Mr. Tiede, and Mr. Pierson were the sponsers, Louise Jones, Janet Hall, and Sherry Swank re- presented the class in student council. We knew this class would be one to go out and accomplish something by the way they worked in their sophomore year. In the fall they took their first step to raise money by having a leaf rake and a paper drive. We also knew that they liked to have fun from all the parties they had. 28 .rv-y 414 .fy Row 1, Allen, James, Andrews, June, Arch, Nancy, Bak, Rita, Balmer, Marsha, Bondurant, Richard, Buck, Charles Beery, Alvin, Carothers, Garland.

The council aims to promote a better understanding between faculty and students and to give an opportunity for students to co- operate in the management of the school insofar as they show them- selves capable. The organization is composed of one representative from each guidance room, the principals as honorary members. During the school year the club sponsored several activities. Some of these were-the student handbook, all-high party, Christ- mas dance, get acquainted program, dances, mock election, pep rally and parade. They also sent Christmas cards to service boys. In the spring the mem- bers of the Student Coun- cil were given an evening of entertainment in South Bend.

They buried the name We and after a contest among guidance rooms, the name Breeze was chosen. Mr. Pier- son' s guidance room entered the winning name. There were 44 members of the Journalism Club who did the writing for the paper. The second year typing class did the typing. The paper came out once a month and contained six to eight pages of gossip, jokes and school news. 52 DRAMA CLUB Remember in !52. when a new drama club was organized? The sponsor was Mr. Paul Peirson who, with the help of the 96 club members, chose the name Sigma Chi for their group. Beverly Eaglebarger was chosen president and the other officers were chosen as follows: Sam Burkholder - vice president, Joyce Widmar - secretary, Terry Schurr - treasurer, Allen Molebash - librarian, Don Felton - sgt. at arms. The club met on the second and fourth Monday nights of each month. During these meetings the members practiced different kinds of acting and gave both coral and individual readings. The c1ub's purpose was to learn public speaking and to learn to entertain themselves and others. During the year the club presented several plays before aud- iences. 53 'f'La'f, 3 . nh ' ,vi-fl 'W . ,J l- - ,mr Q W 'wi . , lf ,fy Email Janet Koontz, president, Mary Beth Teghtmeyer, vice-president, Nancy Schweisberger, secretary-treasurer: Mrs. Hagenau, sponsor.

' cnoss CCUNTRY Coach Bunge's cross country set a good record for our school last fall. The boys won two meets and in a group of eight teams they placed second in a invitational meet - -I at Grass Creek. In the sectional meet at Mishawaka, Bremen came in eighth. All the boys showed very good running ability, Evan Manges did exceptionally well in all the meets. He came in second at Grass Creek and sixth at Mishawaka, just missing a chance to go to the state meet. The boys carried home several ribbons. Keep up the good work team. 64 Pep parade which started the bas- ketball season.

BASEBALL TEAM Remember in our senior year when the baseball team won the county championship. Bremen had ended the season with five wins and one loss. Our tie with Culver sent us into a playoff for the county championship. Bremen bumped off Culver in the first round of the playoff and we were in high spirits as we traveled to Ply- mouth to meet Argos. After a successful pitching duel we defeated Argos to become the 1952 county champs. We were very proud of our baseball team and can remember our gala celebration. Those were the good old days.
