f WBT' C' ws., T . .T Ex he COMMENCEMENT The Senior Class chose to complete their high school career with a vitalized commencement program, as has been the custom in Brentwood for of Nguidancen several years. Because of the rapidly growing importance in our public school systems, we decided upon using as our theme for the program, HGuidance in Educationu. Again this year we were fortunate in having as speakers on the pro- gram three members of our class who were experienced in speaking. All hold the highest degrees offered in the National Forensic League, the national honorary speech fraternity' for high schools.' After studying guidance in all of its aspects, these speakers gave valuable information upon true guidance, guidance in practice and the effect of proper guidance on our social, political and econmmical world.

. f- afgxgwg, A LAST LOOK We'll be coming down that hall with our books stacked high for the last time. On that last morning we'll nod and smile and say Hhellov just as we always have and they'll not know that a little corner of our heart is longing bitterly and wishing it would not be so. We'll steal a glance out the hall window and gaze thoughtfully at the new green campus while watching the others playing ball on the field. A keen realization has just struck us. This is the last chance we will have to be on the inside looking out. On this morning we'don't even mind hearing the teachers scold or listening to their jokes.It's spring and it's good to be alive. we may have had some desperate thoughts at times, such as deliberately failing a course. But when report cards were issued there were the same old P's and H's. we have had fun. We've done everything-worked,played,.danced,laugh- ed, cheered. We've sponsored parties and plays,wen games, watched games, lost games. We've sung, wefve won contests, sold tickets, entertained, seen new schools dedicated and watched old ones rebuilt. Itfs noongthe lunch room is the same as ever and Mrs.Beekman's smile is just as ready. 'Everyone is talking at once. we talk, too, and fix a smile on our faces. All too quickly the last period rolls around and the bell that we usually wait eagerly to hear-we now wish might never ring. But it does, and it's all over. Do we have everything? Our books? Our jacket? New eversharp? Last copy of the paper? The yearbook which we helped to rename and organize? Yes. All ready. we take a last look in on all of the teachers then start slowly for the front door. Why are we saying Ngoodbyn to everyone as if we would never see them again? Oh thatis right,it is true for summer vacations and it might be long before we do see some of them again. We're on the front steps now and a group of us are talking about nothing in particular. Finally we realize that we're the last to leave and the building is empty, Time to go home.We're at the turn in the driveway new there is a feeling that we've forgotten something, that we've left something behind. But that's foolish, wefve checked and rechecked our things for the fifth time.Just one last glance at the building,It's out of sight now. Yes, we have everything material, but we know now that we must have left behind a part of us. However, it has been a fair exchange, for a piece of Brentwood High School is us new and always will be, Yes, we'll be back. Shirley Gardner ,Fee E' 'V !g.ggg,i.g as
