S .- in FOUR nswrs--How THEYWE FLOWN! It seems only yesterday that we as Freshmen walked hesitantly toward ,rin Brentwood High. Our fears were soon dispelled when we found everyone cheerful ng and helpful. Under the capable direction of Miss Case and Coach Youngblood we ie? had enjoyable and educating homeroom meetings. From our midst emerged talented Ilia debaters and athletes. We, girls, walked off with the soccer championship and -o both boys and girls starred in other games. f tif guidance of Mr. Powell, that picnic at Tilles Park, for instance. we worked .,e do like beavers collecting dues for the Senior Prom we were to give next year. we 3 were well represented in sports, speech and music. sh 0ur Junior year was busiest of all. Everyone had a job to do. The girls 7,72 sold candy and did very well at it, too. We gave the St. Pat's Dance, which fQg ,le was a great success and which everyone enjoyed immensely. Then the great event fi the Prom, given at Van Horns--the event of events--the best prom ever given, ye in our modest opinion. ' , V W, s-is Meanwhile our talented members had grown in prominence and our boys did t. , is , f. S themselves proud in sports. Many of our number went with the band to Topeka ,isis and from all accounts enjoyed themselves thouroughly. v has Then our last year, most enjoyable, but nevertheless the last year. Uur -of homerooms were divided and the girls thrived under the leadership of Miss Ship- .,Qg man and Evelyne Eichler. We won the intramural volleyball championship and the 'vii . K-su basketball championship. We provided the inspiration to start a Ed Cross knit- fy ting club and carried it through. We bought defense stamps and knitted. And then, I suppose you've seen the newly done-over Teaoher's room. Mr. Kerchival was sponsor of the boys and under his direction they performed some entertain- ing stunts for dances. v I'm afraid nothing has been said about personalities. Uur outstanding a+ girl was Evelyne Eichler--speech, music, sports--sho was tops in them all. .w Then we had Robin Beckley who excelled in her studies and always made the hon- Lew or roll. John Thomasson was the boy in our class who always made the honor , idfi roll, and also excelled in speech. our Junior President, Gilbert Hoch, was iii a dependable fellow,and I'm sure you'll agree when I say Charles Pepin was the ,'Qfg star athlete through our four years, and one of the hardest workers in our ifQg class, especially on the year book. There were other athletes also, Donald gif Benish, Donald Ofbullivan, Bill Martin, Clem Helmke. Cnr Senior girls' quartet, fig which consisted of Berniece Kirkpatrick, Barbara Jean McGrady, Frances Hurley, pai? and Margaret Flora, was radio quality. Then there were our pianists, Beverly 'ff Ramsey and Jane Eschbach. Genevieve Johnson also sang and played. Howard igf Litzsinger lent dignity to our class with his deep bass voice and his immacu- f :fi late dress. In fact, all our classmates were recognized in one field or an- 1 other, and I'm sure, even though you close this book you'll never close your book of memories of us. -Marion Baker Q5 r. 13' r - 75519. 1 -film , A V , Qian , V1 T of - Y , V, V, .M 4 H'-fs w.

But Mr. Kercheval's ear got turned down Ca la wire haired terrierb when the blind fold was put on and stayed that way all through the ceremony. .Everyone was laughing and it wasn't very solemn but we had a good time. ' That sam night some mdschievous prankster let the air out of tires and caused other minor damage to the cars N. F. L.'ers had left in front of the school.So Miss Shipman, Robin Beckley and Evelyne Eichler turned sleuth and tracked down the desperados in Miss Shipman's car. Pretty good detecting Ifd say. Do you remember the Three Musketeers who arched over to Frazier school every afternoon for Algebra and how hard John worked to pass Eng.Lit. for all of them? And wasn't there quite a little romance that sprang up between Danny and one of the Frazier girls? Speaking of romance don't forget the eternal tri angle: Bill, Frances, and Bill's car--or our other inseparables Helen and Gil- bert. Remember what the Christmas play, mate who thought he ae got locked back a sweet, beautiful grandmother Bernice Kirkpatrick made in and how John Heagler got his nose broken by a little class could twirl a baton. And remember when Beverly and Lillie stage after school and only escaped spending the night in a cold gym by turning on the radio loud enough to attract the attention of Mr. James who rescued them.

Cigar smoke filled the gym for days after. Prominent, also among sporting events was the Columbia trip for the Missouri-Oklahoma game in Skeet- er's car. Joe Shubert probably remembers how he almost get loft in Columbia too. Speaking of cars and rides, Dick Dunham once ran into a telephone poleQ?5 or at least that was the rumor at the time.

There were also a group who solemnly vowed not to take girls to the Prom. when they were Juniors. Then there were the EastJNest Brentwood foot ball games with the East on the short end of both scores. But the Senior Intra mural basketball team was without a peer. emember when we were juniors and were getting ready for the Prom?

We can say that our athletes just couldn't be outdone whether on a varsity or intramural team, and furthermore, some of these boys .were so confident that they did some scoring for the other team.
