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 '.

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.

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. '

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. A year spent wisely and well done .To earn our places in the sun..t. At the end rejoice, and laugh and sing And all the world with joy will ring. Then praises loud will all be sung For the Senior Class of '4lI . By Mildred Underwood

At eight o'clock sharp the first guest arrived. It was a tall, broad shouldered gentleman with black hair, brown eyes and a brilliant smile. As he walked over to smile up at him, Donald recognized the fame iliar Uwaddlen of his namesake, Donald Bryant, who was now known as the most promising orchestra leader in the country. Mr. Duck was so stunned at M . Bryant's early arrival that he had time for only a slight greet- ing when other guests were announced. The next arrival was Miss Mildred Underwood, who had come all the way from Hollywood to attend the convention. She was tall and thin and was escorted by Mr. Errol Flynn, with whom she had been working on their new picture. Miss Underwood, known to movie patrons as Darlene Godfrey, had been the most sensational star ever to arrive to Hollywood, because of her great dramatic ability and her sweet disposition. Despite having acquired fame and fortune, she was the same Mildred that Donald Duck had known in high school. The next to be announced were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pickrel, known to their classmates as Pickles and Betts. Bette had grown somewhat tal- ler and was as charming at thirty-two, as she had been at seventeen. She still cocked her head on one side and smiled at everyone she met.Pickles still wore his innocent smile and cheerfully took orders from Bette. Miss Norma Hodges, who entered next, was escorted by two gentlemen from Hollywood, who seemed anxious to have her sign a contract for the starring role of UBlown with the Breezen. Norma was pretty and young looking as she had been when she attended school,and her right eye still had the habit of slyly opening and closing as she rolled those sky blue eyes. Mr. Warren Weyrauch was very handsome in his evening clothes and top hat. He had the same boyish shock of Ndishewater blondu hair and twink- ling blue eyes. He brought his movie camera along and took pictures of the activities as the guests continued to arrive. f Then there appeared on the scene, Kenneth and Tennyson Luttrell, now partners in Luttrell, Woolworth and Luttrell Five and Dime Store. They were pompous gentlemen escorting two beautiful blondes. Virginia Brinkmann and Maxine Gray were now teachers of music at Brentwood and Webster High Schools respectively. Miss Doris Faye Mbur- eau was the secretary of Brentwood High School and still jitterbugged with as much enthusiasm and grace C?J as she had in her Senior year at Brentwood. Mr. and Mrs. Burton Kitson were also there. Burt was now a famous psychologist. Mrs. Kitson, the former Eloise Beckley, was this and tall and wore rouge, powder, eyebrow pencil and even lipstick. She was very attractive in her brilliant red dress and fur coat. Miss Katherine Beletz and Miss Helen Fieser arrived, escorted by two very handsome strangers. Katherine had dark hair and brown eyes, and Helen was blond and had blue eyes, though she still wore her glasses. M . Paul Ford, who arrived at that moment was short and fat, with bald head and glasses. Bob Conner and Harold Michener created quite a sensation as they came in, turning scmersaults and handsprings. They were now clowns and
