SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On the bright morning of August 28. 1940, one hundred eighteen frightened freshmen made their way down the hill to enter an entirely new phase of schooling. We soon decided high school wasn't so bad, and after we'd been here a few weeks, the faculty and other students realized that we weren't content with holding our hands. AAYC wanted to do things! XYe wanted to get in the swing! Twelve freshmen became members of the high school band. NYe were well represented in the various clubs: Athletic, filee, Commercial. Dramatic, Red Cross, and journalism. Our foot- ball team that year was a championship one, and was spurred on to victory by cheers from the spirited freshmen. ln the fall of forty-one we were sophomores and had begun to get that grown-up feeling. After all, we werent the youngest members of the student body any more! We struggled through algebra and biology. but found time to have fun, too. Once again we took an active part in extra- curricular activities. Several of us were on the football squad, and some were officers in the vari- ous clubs. XYe were coming up in the world! Came l earl Harbor, and we suddenly found ourselves pitched into an adult world with re- sponsibilities on our shoulders that we never dreamed we could carry. Hur junior class-for we were juniors-now was definitely running on a war-time schedule. Vve gave up our competitive sports when we realized it was necessary. In their place came drill and calisthenics for the boys and physical education for the girls. The latter part of November we presented the annual junior class play, Are You Mr. Butter- worth? , a mystery comedy in three acts. ln the spring we made another sacrifice in the name of victory. We gave up the annual junior-Senior Banquet. and in its place entertained the seniors with a theatre party. We rented the theatre for one evening and put on a show that had them rolling in the aisles. Bob Brannon was master of ceremonies and Frances Walker gave the wel- come to the seniors. Almost the entire junior cfass participated in the program, which consisted of songs and dances of the last war and the present one. A highlight of the program was an an- nouncement of the junior and Senior Superlatives, who had been elected by secret ballot. After- wards there was a movie and light refreshments. The marshals for graduation were Bruce filazener, Carl Barton, -leannette McCall, Anna Rathie, lflelen Rovers, Yivian Smith, Frances XYalker, Lucretia Camibell, lose Jhine Curto, Mar- J Q s u l . l guerite Mckann, and liene Franklin. Seniors at last! XYhat a wonderful feeling! After all those long years of work and toil we had reached our goal. But once again the war had hit us, taking some of our best students, not only to the service, but to college where they could finish school earlier. XYe got busy the first week of school proving that our class was tops, even if it was small, The newspaper staff was or- ganized with Frances XYalker as editor-in-chief: the senior girls bought an unbelievable amount of bonds during the drive: and for the first time in the history of Brevard High School, we planned to have an annual. The latter caused intense excitement to echo through the dear old halls of B. H. S. Yivian Smith was made editor-in-chief and an able staff appointed. This was to be exclusively a senior project. And still another wonderful thing was started by the seniors. The boys and girls wanted a football team, We didn't have a coach, but we looked around 'til we found not one, but two-Mr. Bullock and Mr. Medford, who volunteered their services without pay and spent long hours with the boys each day. We didn't have a championship team, but each member had the right spirit and a sense of fair play. Vve have learned much during these wonderful years of high schooli All of our knowledge hasn't come from books, either. XYe've learned to think and work for ourselves. to be independ- ent, to do what's expected of us. Yes, we have a fine recordfall fifty of us, for the war has cut our once large group down to fifty. XYe have profited by our experiences which will help us find our places in this topsy-turvy world. XYe are the world of tomorrow, and our high school days have made a splendid background for our future. FRANCES XVALKER, Hz'.v1'0rz'a:1. 14. The 1944 Brt'1'ardivr
