and jiving at the other end. . A The volleyball teamg made up of all Seniors exocpt two went to the Ferguson tournament and brought home first place! Yes, welre proud of those Senior athletes. On Va1entine's Day the Seniors gave a Valentine's Dance following a basketball game with Fairview. Acting ability galore was displayed in the Senior Play. It was en- joyed by all who attended-iyoung and old. The Yearbook as you may possibly know, was sponsored by the Senior Class. Some very splendid cooperation and hard work by Maxine Gray, Norma Hodges, Doris Faye Moureau, etc, enabled us to put together this yearbook which, by the way, we hope you will enjoy. Perhaps not enough emphasis has been put upon the individuals who did outstanding work or entertainment in our Senior Class. Maxine Gray was our star baton twirler.-And we oan't forget that star Jitterbug, Ronald Vassallil Vernon Kramer will always be known as the greatest tumbler Brentwood has ever known. Virginia Brinkmann ranks tops with us as a great debater and all around speaker. Doris Faye CGhunkyJ Moureau, Dick Kruse, Helen Fieser and Norma Hodges pepped up the team with their cheer leading. Perhaps Donald Bryant should be mentioned as a great swinger of swing on the piano, especially when Milly Underwood sings UAngryN. And Bill Ruick is quite a charming lad, especially when it comes to sn kes. Virginia Spurgeon and Jeanette Kick will be remembered as our class artists,and Esther Beckley as our famous writer. Many other Seniors were in the band, orchestra and glee clubs. The Seniors had a very exciting and enjoyable year, what with the very elegant Prom given us by the Juniors at Van Horn's Farm. This was possibly the biggest social affair for us in our four years at Brentwood 0 As we close the pages of this book every Senior can truly say that the four years in high school, especially Brentwood High, have been and possibly will be the most enjoyed years of our lives. ---Ralph Lee To The Seniors of 1941 To the seniors of 'ole Brentwood High, Our faith is pledged until we die To give our best, in every test, Is our aim and wish eupremeg To love the place we know is good And obey all wishes understood.

Then praises loud will all be sung For the Senior Class of '4lI . By Mildred Underwood

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It doesnft seem possible, but it's true. One, two, three, yes,four years, and itfs time to put our final records in the book. 'Well, look- ing back through the pages there may be a few things we donft like to remember, but on the whole, it's a history of which to be proud. For instance, remember in '58 when Jimmy Glasgow was our president? We won the activity ticket contest and had outstanding representatives in speech, athletics, the operetta and music. Not a bad start, eh? And how about good old '59? Let's see. First of all the A basketball and volleyball teams were composed chiefly of Sophomores.Inexperienced though they were,this group was to prove later to have the winning combination. In intramural volleyball we Sophomores won the championship. Those second year homeroom meetings were made very enlightening and oftentimes amusing.A personality stud and some grand music by some grand people rounded out most of our meetings. In February 1959, our class president,Ra1ph Lee,moved to St. Louis. From here on out Donald Bryant was in charge of the class. And then came a busy year for us. Most of the Sophomores had now achieved the title of Ju iors. It was a lot of fun to plan and prepare the Saint Pat's Dance in spite of all the work that was involved, Oh, by the way, that dance was the greatest financial success of all previous Saint Pat's Dances! The Hawaiian Junior-Senior Prom which was held at Frazier School went over with a bang, too. Approximately half of the guests present wound up the evening at Van Horn's Farm.----A night we'll never forget!! Mildred Underwood handled the candy sales and with the very able assistance of some other Junior girls, managed to clear quite a tidy sum to go into the treasury. Remember those inexperienced Sophomore volleyball players we men- tioned? Well, experience will show its mark in time for those boys made up the larger part of the team that brought home the second place cup in our Junior year. Yes, indeed, our class in its-three years of existence had set up a standard to be challenged by future classes. Finally, locking back into the records, we come to the days when we were known as Seniors. You know, it makes you feel rather good to be called a Senior,but it isn't always so pleasant to know that you've only a few more months to go to high school and thenf-WHAT NEXT? Our election for class officers revealed that Ralph Lee was re-elec- ted President for a third successive term, Maxine Gray, Secretary-Treas- urer for a second successive yearg and Esther Beckley, Reporter. James Glasgow, our Vice-President, resigned his office because of mid-year graduation and Ed M cka was elected to fill Jimmy's shoes. Miss Shipman was our very capable sponsor just as many of the Alumni told us she would be. We Seniors sponsored a noon-day dancing program in the study hall until Christmas, then in the new gymnasium. While the boys were shoot- ing baskets at one end of the gym, other fellows and girls were jumping

Contrary to its usual ,Saturday night garb, -the was blue and white streamere'andf Beid bnd. eng tables cdvered with snowy cloths and white vases of American Beauty roses, lined the wlllssilmidli end of the room, on an elevitddq jiitfonn stood Donald Duck, han somely arrayed in his blue and white Ssawiscoirt wit. as Donald: Vidwed the Q scene, he noticed at ' his Botti' newspaper, several days meld. f0n the front page was a picture of lids to whom he had been mascot fifteen years before. ' Reading from fleft to right, the picture identifiedsftiid as Edward Tegetoff, Harry Anweiler,' Edward Micke and Raymond Prethena ,The caption reads, Inventors for i'Autof1y '. Donald stroked his gray gdatee, is he read one ' 1' g ' ' i - ' The invention '-and sudvess of the new Autofly by ' Edward Tegetoff, 'Anweiler-, ' seem-at Micke and :Raymond Prather has dlused ra. .fervor throughout the country. It is said that this :i1'W8hti6Y1 will reve- ' lutionize present traneportatwn modes. The inspir- ation for the Autaf'ly originated from the ancient Autoglide Scooter or Putt-putti' in which the 'men have been interestedssinoe their youth. This amnes- ing new-machine has detachable wings making possible ' flight,through the air with little exertion' the owner. The Autofly dan also be equipped with skis for use in snow and a hull-alike' portion for use in ' water. It is indispensible for the average former automobile owner. a - . s It has been rumored that the goverment is con- ducting -secret tests oi' the military model whidh is equipped with two machine guns, firing through the propeller. This small invention has been dubbed the Motor Skeeter, due to its resemblance to a large mosquito. The inventors were honored at a banquet last week by the Society- of' Inventors and awarded the medal of outstanding achievement. They will also Hattend ' a convention of the graduating class of 1941 of Brent- ' 'wood High School , which they attended in their youth. f Well, well , said Donald.. Now he understood! There was to be a reunion of the 1941 Senior Glass. Ah,what good times he had shared with them so long ago. He wondered if they would remember him and if he would remember them. Only the quiet -hum of the clock above the stage broke the stillness and Donald was lost in thought dreaming of times gone by and the coming reunion. . The hands of the clock showed half-past seven,when Donald was roused from his day-dreams by the entrants of the waitresses and then the arriv- al oi' the orchestra. '
