Donley, the largest teaching staff yet to serve in Brighton High School now numbers sixty- tvvo members. Far from being classed as pedagogues by us students, the high school teachers are regarded rather as friends under whose sympathetic leadership we can acquire a Well-rounded edu- cation. As advisers of numerous extra-curricu- lar activities, they give many hours of time outside the classroom to help us with these interests of ours. No staff of teachers could be more scholarly in its point of view nor more devoted to its task. Brighton, a progressive school community, has its nucleus in its progressive faculty. mi f frank F0 URI

As a mute symbol of the crude beginnings from which a fine school sys- tem has grown, there stands on the corner of Monroe and Highland Avenues a small briclq building fondly referred to as The Little Red Schoolhouse. For many years this tiny school served the needs of a large portion of the present district. It was over a decade ago that this rapidly-growing community, realizing the inadequacy of the one-room school, erected at the Twelve Corners the present school building. Within a few years new wings were added in order to provide for the large number of students who desired high school training. Scarcely were the new wings in use before they were overcrowded, and the need for a separate high school building arose. This need the community is now meeting by the erection of a fine new high school on the Winton Road side of the Twelve Corners property. When this modern structure is completed, the present building can be turned over entirely to the grade school. Such a fast-growing school system denotes a fast-growing, progressive community. Firmly believing that our school has kept pace with the rapid development of the community, the Senior Class of Brighton High School presents in this boolq the picture of BRIGHTON, A PROGRESSIVE SCHOOL. The school of tomorrow, or rather the school of next year, is shown here as the artist has conceived it. More than a mere flight of imagination, however, the new school is already well under constr t' IPAGE. THREE1

The foundations of a sound education are laid during the time the child spends in the grade school. Here he forms those habits and acquires those skills which will determine, in a large measure, the success of his entire scholastic career. No effort is spared, therefore, to make our grammar school as fine as possible. Under the guidance of a devoted staff, the child is taught respect for all work, confidence in his own ability, and control over both his body and his mind. Mutual understanding and close co-opera- tion between the home and the school bring about a natural, happy development of the young child. GRADE FACULTY CHRISTINE C.
