Walk with us down the aisles past the seats of learning to our places. The house lights dim, a hush comes over the audience, and our movie flashes on the screen. For us this production is the record of four precious years spent in developing our minds and our bodies. With graduation we feel that we have truly reached stardom. To our understudies, who are our promising coming attractions, we leave this record of our achievements, exhorting them to carry on in the new theater the best traditions of the old. During our years in high school many scenes have flashed upon the screen of our theater. Bound by the love of our theater and our fellow actors and encouraged by our loyal directors, we have tried to play our parts worthily. It is the spirit of the classroom, the stage, and the athletic Held that we have tried to capture in this annual, the final reel of our film. Now as the movie draws to its close, we feel that our experiences here have prepared us to play our roles in the theater of life in a way that will reflect credit on our school. As you file out of the theater, we hope that you will feel with us that these cherished scenes will grow ever dearer to us as the years go by, and Time unrolls for each of us new reels on which we can record the pictures in our film of life.

Cuupfmzu BOARD OF EDUCATIO ln the final analysis the credit for our finished reel, of which we are so proud, must go to the Board of Education, whose work, like that of the motion picture producers, takes place behind the scenes. Almost as rapid as the growth of the motion picture industry itself has been the growth of Brighton. From a small rural community this section has grown, within less than twenty years, to a community that must provide for nearly 1,500 children of school age. Although the school has been somewhat overcrowded during this period of rapid expansion, no serious curtailment of education facilities has ever been necessary. From the first the Board adopted a far-seeing building program that provided for this steady increase in school population and, when it became apparent that one building was no longer adequate, the fine new high school was begun on Winton Road. Although mindful of the need for modern schools and modern equipment, our Board has ever realized that the reputation of a school depends upon its faculty. With the utmost care it has selected our teachers, choosing only those whose experience and training have made them worthy leaders of youth. Oldest member in point of service on this Board is Mrs. Edward Miles, whose interest in the school and enthusiasm for its accomplishments increase with the years. Allan B. Gates, President of the Board since December, 1936, has carried on the tradition of unselfish service begun by his predecessor in office, Dr. Shirley R. Snow. Other members of the Board to whom we are deeply grateful are Robert M. Van Order, lvar N. Hultman, and Schuyler C. Wells,Jr. C. Walter Coapman is Treasurer of the Board.

Donlay To the Class of 1940: I take this opportunity to extend to all the members of the class my sincere wishes for your happiness and continued success. May you ever be aware of the fact that success will not come to you without effort. May the training that you have had at Brighton encour- age you to strive for worthwhile ends, and may your life be more complete because of those desirable contacts you have made here. Sincerely, A ,6- Heading a teaching staff of over sixty members are our three chief directors, Aubrey D. Donley, Superintendent and Principal, Gordon Allen, Vice-Principal of the High School, and Mrs. Christine Hob- son, Vice-Principal of the Grade School. Mr. Donley, whose position requires him to carry out the wishes of the school board, in serving the community, the teachers, and the pupils, has indeed proved to us not only as seniors but also as under- classmen his ability as a high school administrator. Perhaps closest to him are the Vice-Principals, Mr. Allen and Mrs. Hobson. Mr. Allen's many years as teacher, coach, and adviser at Brighton have well qualified him for the post he has held for the first time this year. Credit and appreciation is due also to Mrs. Hobson Whose able leadership of the grade school makes it a proud part of the com- munity. The moving of the high school has necessitated much added planning in addition to tllir regular work. It is with sincere appreciation and gratitude that we pay tribute to our chief directors whose fine service will never be forgotten by those whom they have served. Mr.r.

HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY ln every scene of our motion picture our directors have played a part the importance of which we fully realize. No matter how good a script might be, no matter how talented the cast, nor how elaborate the background, it cannot become a great picture if the directing is not well done. Those qualities which are possessed by the great directors in Hollywood' intelligence, technical knowledge, insight into human nature, imaginationf' are the qualities which make unusual teachers, and they are the qualities which the members of our high school and grade school faculty possess in full measure. Busy as our directors are Cand the faculty at Brighton has the reputation of being a hard working oneD they are never too busy to help us with our individual problems, encourage us in our endevaors, and guide us in our extra-curricular activities. The old the teacher commands, the pupil obeys attitude is happily seldom found here. All of our high school teachers have degrees from colleges of recognized standing, and all of them have done some additional work since graduation. To the students in their classes these teachers give generously from the rich fund of their scholarship and their experience. They respect our opinions, listen to our suggestions, and counsel us whenever we ask for advice. 3 But their interest in us does not end with the classroom. They sponsor out clubs, work with us on our hobbies, are genuinely interested in our sports. ln other Words, our directors are our friends. f f---- f . 429 r H f..f is f a 'ffl :J 1 -, ---, ',f,,,f. s N- ' 8 roi' now: .Wi1ii'r, liutlwr, frilblllfl, Sllfilli, lfittic, fffmk, liwff, Arafofif, Nlizllfe, Xfilrr, lidlffl, si,ioNlm now: lhfzirfififuz, i14l'll.IY, C,.1fniff.1, 0if.iU7lIll'lf, 'I'1frt!i, l'.4!mi'r, 'I'lwu1,1r, llailrzg, f,lillllL'l'llIl, Mimffw, lilnwuf. l'IRh'l' Row: Mrllnrmfil, l r1iki'r, lifmlui, Kfwup, f,Uffllll', llulilm. l.t'n'ii, llizwumml, liixkur, llubwu. GRADE SCHOOL FACULTY The directors in the grade department of our school are as deserving of praise as are our high school teachers. The linished production, the graduating class, never forgets that the foundation for successful high school work was laid in the grade school through the elliorts of the teachers. Our grade school teachers, many of whom taught us when We were in the grades, are graduates of recognized normal schools and state teachers' colleges, where they learned not only the suhiect matter necessary for teaching in the grades hut also received valuahle training in the techniques of imparting knowledge. The teacher is the skillful director of the classroom activity, not the dogmatic dispenser of drill material. The aim of our grade school teachers is to inculcate the techniques so necessary for future study and to train the young child for happy, useful membership lirst of his own group and later of the place in life which he will eventually lill. The young women who teach in our grade school are those who till these requirements. We students at Brighton are indeed grateful to our teachers, hoth in the grades and in high school, for to them we owe a deht we can never hope to repay. We are determined that we will justify their faith in us hy some day returning to the world a portion of the unsellish service which is so manifest in their lives. - 0 'cc ' -jy Q gl N--' 5512, - 1' ' ---X LQ li ' s 9 BEFORE AND AFTER As the last class to be graduated from the Monroe and Elmwood Avenue building we look back at the record of our school with pride as Brighton High reached this momentous turning point in its history. Brighton, always meeting the needs of a progressive community, has grown rapidly not only in size but also in prominence. The main part of Brighton, including eight classrooms and a combination auditorium- gymnasium, was constructed in 1926 as a grade school. In 1928 the Winton Road wing was added and to meet the increasing rowth of the community a high school was addid to the cur- riculum. In two more short years the next wing was constructed on Monroe Avenue. This con- sisted of two large study halls, the library, and the present gymnasium, which made available the other gymnasium-auditorium in the original building wholly as an auditorium. The last wing, a continuation of the first Monroe Avenue wing, was added in 1935. This addition included a general science room and a physics-chemistry laboratory. In a period of fourteen years the entire school, both grade school and high school, has grown to about fifteen hundred pupils. In the year 1932 the first high school class consisting of twenty-two members graduated from Brighton. In nine years the classes have in- creased over four times with even greater growth predicted. And now we focus our atten- tion on the evidence of our progress. Perhaps the object of attention for more cameras and more wandering glances than any other feature at Brighton this year was the erec- tion of the new school. Although the first ground was broken in November, 1938, it was in this term that the imposing red brick struc- structure offered the most interest. The theater of next year's activities, the new building, will have a middle section of three stories and two extending wings of two stories each. Over the main entrance are four circular bas-reliefs representing the activities and aims of the school. They are a family scene represent- ing home making, five arts represented by symbols of music, sculpturing, painting, and architecture, scenes of teaching, law, medicine, and architecture portraying the professions 5 and an office scene representing business. The body of the school itself contains fourteen modern well-lighted classrooms which are off attractive green tiled corridors. Each classroom is connected to a loud speaker system and has folding blackboards in the front with two built-in cupboards, one on each side. Besides the regular classrooms, there will be three science rooms, for general science, physics, and chem- istry. A double home economics room, a cafeteria, and a kitchen are in the basement. Also in the basement will be the spacious locker and shower rooms. The main entrance is attractively paneled in wood, and glass brick serves to add to the beauty of the lower hall. On the right of the entrance is the superintendent's office and on the left the general oflice, while directly opposite are thc entrances to the large combination auditorium- gymnasium. It is equipped with bleachers that old up by the wall when not in use. At the end is a large stage and switchboard for the elaborate system of lighting. When there is a need, it is planned to use the space occupied by the sta e for a girls' gymnasium and construct an au i- torium wing. On the second floor is the blue library fur- nished in ma le. The new building also features a Trapezoi room. The art room has white blackboards and a skylight to furnish better light. There is also a nurse's room, a commercial room, and a typing room. The school will be used for the first time next fall, although this year's graduation ceremonies will be staged there. Many new experiences will unfold to us as we leave school, but always will we look back and recall the memories that are forever hallowed here. - '-N ba-, ,,, ' .7-. ---Q-- , .i,- L ff-1, -1-1'----- f , f..- ,' .1 N--' ajgizif i l 1 'xi' - yo ', -- ig-1 f n'-L - 1 .N l 'Qx f-qv' I I , --- ----' 3' -- ' c,--- - 3 MAIN FEATURE s'rAND1NG.'

Step into the file room a moment, and we will see what we can find. Here is a film taken four years ago when we started our high school career at Brighton. If you will come into the projection room, I will run it off for you. Reel 1936-1937 Here we are as freshmen gathered with our faculty advisers, Miss Allena Frisbee, Miss Alice Foley, Miss Catherine Charlesworth, and Cassius Conner, to elect class representatives and officers. This shot of the freshman roller skating party shows President Stan Glassman and Dick Miller, Vice- President, about to enter the arena with Secretary-Treasurer Macy Levy. Reel 1937-1938 This is the Sophomore splash party at the Maplewood President Stan Glassman and Vice- President Betty Giles are waiting to use the diving board. Fred Harison, class treasurer, and George Kaelber, class secretary, are talking to the advisers, Elswood Hill, Mrs. Norma Fox, Miss Margaret Young, and Jay Gibson, while waiting their turn at the ping pong table. Reel 1938-1939 Bud Haidt, president, Rebecca Harrison, vice-president, Betty Giles, secretary, and Fred Harison, treasurer, are noticed in this close-up of a junior class meeting. Bud is urging the support of class members at the Junior Prom for which the committees worked hard and long. Class advisers, Miss Ruth Maxwell, Gordon Allen, Miss Allena Frisbee, and Miss Dorothy Porter, enjoyed the class party in the gym. You now see the badminton players finishing a game before the dancing starts. Reel 1939-1940 You now will see us as seniors. Stan Glassman is class president, Rebecca Harrison, vice-president, Betty Ann Giles, secretary, and Wayne Summers acts as treasurer. This shows the Senior Ball, our last get-together as fellow Brightonians. With the aid of our officers and advisers, we have planned and enjoyed many good times at Brighton. As freshmen, we were strangers at first in a large building. Gradually we found ourselves a part of school life, finding joy in our friends and satisfaction in our studies. Diligently we prepared ourselves for worthwhile lives no matter what our place in life will be. I ,X 9.19 T - ' ,!f:, : fQ:1: - f1:1F- ,QI th .D --ij 1191, HY-- 5 I ,i -, 5 '-' '- T 12 GERTRUDE A.

STUDENT COUNCIL The purpose of the Student Council is to act as the intermediary directors between the students and the faculty directors. The lunchroom annex was each month the scene of the regular meeting of the council and it was here that the students got their lirst insight into the manifold problems of the administration of a large school. Perhaps the most outstanding achievement ofthe Student Council this year has been the sponsoring of noon dancing. From the three or four couples that used to appear on the gym floor last fall the num- ber has steadily increased until more than fifty couples regularly attended the Wednesday dances. The committee responsible for this increasing interest was headed by Barbara Yawger, This increased interest in dancing made the Annual Student Council Dance this spring a gala alliair. Rebecca Harrison, Sue Cooper, Barbara Yawger, and Wayne Summers served on the committee in charge of the dance, and .lay Gibson acted as technical adviser. Another important achievement of the council this year was the revision of the rules governing the awarding of athletic letters. 32 s1wNimlNt..' lirrrii .l'fm'lur, Hurt, Yates Nffwu Belle-ltfn, .SilNlllllE7',f, BVIIIUII, ftizrk, Greeufver ,fffzflfffirz , Beafmn1.stz.xTtan.sIic0Nnaow.' , I i . , . l1L'f,nll1I', Cflutwlizzl, llflrriwrl, Xnlzlqllrrffi, Xlfzilff.

WTRAPEZOIDU Serving as the newsreel in the Brighton Theatre, the Trapezoid was published for the fifth con-- secutive time this year under the able editorship of Douglas Eckberg, Editor-in-Chief, with Wayne Summers and Dorothy Perkins, Associate Editors. The Trapezoid is fortunate in having a staff of capable hardworking reporters, the people behind the news, who do so much work, yet get a minimum of credit for it. Before students are eligible to occupy positions on the staff, it is necessary for them to take the non-credit course, in journalism, re- quired of all Trapezoid workers except seniors. fg ' s ,4-- ' 'lf' K-, Q -- G - ,O , mx- ---X irnfl--LL S 5- I 34 III, NO. with lk like -u tenish G 6 HTON pfzzoirl, speaking: at on Sources Allan Hovt-5, ixewly-olettecl FIVE CE publications annual sl lace of the co Clark l-lastinesmw As Preside Of Brighton P.

Several well deserved Academy Awards were presented the Trapezoid in the journalistic con- ferences which it entered. At The Empire State Scholastic Press Association conference at Syracuse last fall, our paper won a superior rating in our class. As a special award, Barbara Smith won a cup for the best news story in any one issue of a school paper. In the national contest, sponsored by Columbia University, in New York City, the Trapezoid received a third prize for the third consecutive year in schools of its class. At the annual spring conference of the Genesee Valley School Press Association, the Trapezoid was awarded first prize for excellence in page make-up. The award for the best news story submitted at this meeting was given to a story by Douglas Eckberg, under whose leadership the paper has enjoyed one of the most successful years in its history. af'--N H , ' ,V-.

Characters' 'Miss Margaret Young,Jay Gibson, advisers, Rebecca Harrison, presidentgilim Scanzaroli, vice-president, Ruth Stark, secretary, Pat Hewitt, treasurerg and Dramatic Club members. Action --fThe spotlight rests on the Dramatic Club in session. Although Mr. Gibson is giving a talk on dramatic technique today, members have had an opportunity this year for more active club participation. Three regular monthly meetings have provided a chance for members to attend the short skits, make-up demonstrations, and readings at least once. The Dramatic Club Council, composed of two representatives from each class, has with the aid of the advisers been instrumental in organizing club programs. The council also functioned in choos- ing the senior play Almost Eighteen and in selecting short plays for assembly programs. The Tree was given at Christmas time, and The Right Answer introduced a cast of characters se- lected almost entirely from the less experienced talent of underclassmen. 36 rov now' Cfruurlbvfg, A'l1.'IIl!7iHl, Hzll'lt:'l', Ztluugfuizl, l'rwl1m1re, Nwreff, Kimball, Iirigfnzw, lTiL'k01.'Y1Lf, ifouitrn Row: liixtw, Mmm, Gufihlulu, l'in'rfii', ll'uHm', lllilflllxlf, Ianni, linffuik, lliunlf, Iiunlou.

FORUM The lirighton High School Forum gives its members practice in public speaking and a knowledge of current events by presenting and discussing various topics which are of interest to students. A set of by-laws was drawn up by members and enforced by club otlicers which included Allan Hovey, president, Wayne Summers, vice-president, Ernestine Blauw, treasurerg and .john Neel, secretary. 'john Reed, Miss Ruth Shattuck, and Robert Hynes acted as advisers. Meetings were at first held in the lunchroom annex, but later the club moved its headquarters to the library. The aflirmarive side won the formal debate on whether or not the present reciprocal trade program should be continued at the February meeting. The April meeting deserves the academy award for the Forum's news reels. Un that date the Rev- erend lirank llrown addressed the members on the Responsibilities of Youth in a Changing World. Roselle Goldstein, lillen lieers, Sherman Weiner and Nelson Greenberg, club members, attended the spring conference sponsored by Syracuse University at which current problems were discussed with representatives from other schools. 37 'tov uowx Krmpp. Bfailer, .Ytrnlf1mq1'er, Gtzrfirle, Xzzzizrtq, V.

LIBRARY CLUB All ofthe information necessary if the background of the movie is to be convincing must be garnered from the studio's libraryf Somewhat the same purpose is served by the library in a modern school. Fully cognizant of the value of our school library, the students at Brighton have formed a library club under the direction of Miss Ethel Regin, the purpose of which is to give its members some knowl- edge of how a library is run and to promote literary interest throughout the school. Each member of the club assists in the library for a half hour each week by stamping books, slipping books, returning books to the shelves, and assisting other students to find desired information. One highlight of the club's program this year was the joint meeting with the Library Club of Webster High School at which time the Brighton girls presented a skit entitled Why Have a Library. This year the Library Club was served by Gloria Paulus as president with Dorothy Perkins, vice- president, and Marion Pugh, secretary-treasurer. l 38 row: .llf'1.'-ll'll', -llltfll, Dtnlforfl, Nauf, lfrkbwjq, Miffer, Mr,r.

Membership is open to anyone who is taking either French ll or French lll. As ollicers in the club we saw lletty Yates, presidentg Ann O'llrien, vice-presidentg Betty Ann Giles, secretaryg and Harry Smith, treasurer. They were assisted by the directors Mrs. Norma Fox and Miss Ruth Maxwell. Included on the programs have been such features as Information Please, bingo, crossword puzzles, a Christmas play and a party. ln addition to many enjoyable times experienced by all, members also gained valuable knowledge of the French manners and customs, and they learned how French is used conversationally. The outstanding feature of Le Cercle Francais was the French play HL' Anglais Tel Qu'on le Parle, presented by members of the club. After the play tea was served to mothers and friends in the auditorium and the French projects were on display in room 115. The annual picnic injune concluded the activities of the club for the year. 39 S'l'1Nl7ING.'

USHER CLUB just as the ushers at a motion picture theatre are an integral part of the management, so the members of the Usher Club at Brighton have an important function to perform. The girls who belong to the club are juniors and seniors with high scholastic records who are not carrying more than four subjects. Every second Week during a study period, one of these girls takes her place at the Information desk in the front hall. Here she studies diligently until SOIHC youngster, anxious to locate the school nurse, or some parent, desiring to talk to her child's teacher, or some sales- man, wishing to be directed to the main oflice, enters the buiding. Then the usher, bringing into play the careful training by Miss Ruth Maxwell, club adviser, lays aside her books and helps in whatever way she can so that the child, the parent, and the salesman will feel that Brighton is indeed a line school where friendliness and helpfulness abound. 40 vi XNIIINIL' li. lwflilrir, Dnzewz, Mizflffezrr, Mllllll, Baath, Kmzpp, II.

ART CLUB .just as the motion picture industry is coming to realize more and more the importance of art in the success of a production, so we at Brighton are constantly at work to further the talents of those who are interested in artistic endeavor. For some, the training received in the Art Club will be, undoubtedly, the foundation of what is to be a life professiong for others it is the beginning of an interesting hobby from which they can derive much enjoyment during the years to come. For eight years the guiding hand in the affairs ofthe Art Club has been that of Mrs. Hermia Railing, the head of l3righton's Art Department. This yearllane Goossens served as president of the club and Marion Matthews as vice-ptesiilent. livery Friday afternoon the club members gather in Room 12 to make papier-mache figures, soap carvings, and clay models. Whenever posters were needed to advertize some coming school event, the Art Club responded generously. Members have also ably assisted in the production of the Ciitossltofxims this year. 41 s'1'xNolNca, 'I'UP,' Nlirrfff, Tiff. s1fcoNo Row: 13.

HEALTH CLUB As the lilm of our school organization is projected on the screen, we see that Brighton is not lacking in means to protect that precious quality, health. The Health Club, under the leadership of Miss Loretta O'Connell, was organized this year to acquaint the students of our school with practical health measures. The main duty for members of this newly organized club was to assist the nurse in the clinic one period every other week. During the tuberculin and audiometer tests the girls also aided Miss O'Con- nell. At their meetings they witnessed motion pictures concerning first aid and held discussions about health and its importance. Dr. Kenneth Cooley and Dr. llohn L. Mercer attended Brighton to advise the girls on posture and colds. Field trips to hospitals, dairies, and the Rochester Public Health Head- quarters gave the girls lirst-hand information ofthe health work being accomplished in our own com- munity. A spring picnic brought the year to a close. Ullicers of the club were Ruth Stark, presidentg Elsie Weiner, secretaryg and Delsois Taylor, treasurer. 42 si ANIIINKL' f.mm', G. llifrl, Kfwbuff, ffffw1j,i', Mir.t Perrin Cinftirerl, lleirkfwl, lllzrxt, Leer, ll 1ffw11,r. s1atoNo Row: Clark, Mr, Cllllllff l.'lilwu'r W, ffnruzwff, lla lllflL'f, llfrrniw, lilllffflll, Gruwfberg, lfjjerl, .W'm1'l1'. lflksl' Row: Xqlfiru, llilqeflwnml, .Ylifrig .Ylf.nliluifz, 1.t'.11'1rl, B. fltfrf. STAMP CLUB Among the exciting pictures in our year's lilm are those taken by a camerman during the stamp auction. Nelson Greenberg, Stamp Club president, displayed his ability as auctioneer as he described the value of each stamp and urged the buyers to bid. At the bi-monthly meetings ofthe club students bring their stamp collections to show to each other and talk over their plans for expanding these collections with the club advisers, Miss Marion Perrin and Cassius Conner. At this time, too, stamps are selected from approval sheets sent out by dillerent companies. Speakers appeared before the club and addressed the members on poster stamp collections and on pre-cancels. During the month of April the Stamp Club sponsored a stamp exhibit in the library to which the general student body was invited. As in previous years, our superintendent Aubrey D. Donley, who is an ardent philatelist, brought a portion of his collection forthe exhibit, Ollicers ofthe club this year, besides the president Nelson Greenberg, werellack Leet, vice-president, George Hart, and Russ Bouton, secretary-treasurers. 43 'mv Row' Ierzgemarz, Covell, Haqefufaazl, Hifl, Toler, Glaxow, Lmmi, Jqlewart, Searle, Par.ron.r, Flemming.

MUSIC DEPARTME T The sound track of our llrigh ton production of 1939-1940 has been in the hands of our school music department which is directed byllames Cahill. Lending the musical background to our production have been three groups: the concert band, the marching band, and the Girls' Chorus. This year was a red-letter one in the history of l3righton's music department, for during it our band was equipped with new uniforms. Credit for these snappy blue and white costumes goes to the Parent- Teachers' Association and the Board of Education. The marching band, colorful in its new uniforms, was the center of attraction at the last home basketball game of the season. The Girls' Chorus performed for us at the Christmas assembly and received well-deserved applause. The Annual Spring Concert was held in April this year and gave senior band members an opportunity to demonstrate their ability and progress. To the the members of l3righton's musical organizations and to their able director we express our appreciation for the sound effects, without which any modern movie is impossible. 45 s'mNo1Nt:.' llfifrfwzb, .S'q11iru, I'ruif1m1re, Cizrfmu, Mr. Cwmer, Mr. Re41l1zerQf1zfz'i.ferr3, H.

SCIENCE CLUB Perhaps from such organizations as the Science Club at Brighton, young people have gained the de- sire for becoming a motion picture technician, an electrician, ora scientist. To obtain a good picture on faultless film only the most skilled are employed. An inspiration developed from an experiment in a science club may lead to an invention which will better the motion picture industry. The aims of the Science Club, under the supervision of David Reamer and Cassius Conner, are as follows: to increase the knowledge of science, to learn to experiment, to construct scientific exhibits and models, and to appreciate the the importance of science in modern life. This year's programs were carried on by President Paul Whitcomb, Vice-President lfnrico Caruso, and Secretary-Treasurer Donald Kimball. Among the several excursions made this year were one to the Syracuse Science Center Fair and another to Ward's Museum. Stanley Wolfson was awarded first prize in Physics for his oscilloscope at the Roch- ester Science Center Fair. The club is affiliated with the American lnstitute of Science and Engineering Clubs. 46 s'l'ANmNa.f Rlilfffv, Corrzn, .S'frvi'n'r, Cfflfwl, lirinlfqv, Tolar, lVolir1. SliLUNDVRllVV.'

CAMERA CLUB Helping to grind cameras and man lights on the set, the industrious Camera Cflulw crew worked diligently in cooperation with the CLROSSROADS photography stall' in lilming our production. Much of the credit for the shooting of the candids in the news and sports reels goes to the cluh memlwers. The announcement of the inauguration of a camera cluh was, indeed, one of our proudest news events of the year. lt has met the long felt need for an organization for l3righton's many camera fans. liarly in October these amateurs met under the directorship of Miss Marion Perrin and Gordon Allen, and chose Arthur Ferris as president and William Wyman as secretary. The Camera Cluh lirst hroke into the news h the announcement ofa contest olliered to memlwers. Y Throughout the year lectures were given, pictures exhibited, and slides shown. The climax of the activities of the cluh was a hike to Powder Mill Park. Next year the cluh is looking forward to the larger facilities to he offered in the new school lwuilding. 47 THE MARCH OF TIME I93Q-I940 SEPTEMBER 5-Students tore away from their ha py summer vacation to turn towards the open doors of the school to continue a long neglected edjucation.

FOOTBALL Our sports newsreel opens with a llash back to a picture of forty-odd young boys reporting to the new football coach, Bert Van Horn. These inexperienced youngsters do not look like the material of a football team, and yet as the reel unfolds, we are surprised by pictures of the lighting, high-spirited team that grows better with each encounter. Even in the pictures that record the frays with lrondequoit and Fairport, our boys, though hope- lessly outclassed, show a courage and a determination that make us proud of them. ln the contests with Clyde and Webster the team held their opponents to lone touchdowns, each ending with a score of 6-0. Then the cameraman followed the squad to Spencerport and brought back the record of a 15-7 victory. Encouraged by this triumph, the team was able, in its next encounter, to hold East Rochester to a 6-6 tie. This reel of the football season of 1939 we shall want to run off often, for in it we find tangible evidence of that intangible thingfthe spirit of Brighton. 50 f XX' 7' QV' Y H' I- .. s 5, It .

BASKETBALL No part of l5righton's sports life during the past year olliered more abundant opportunity to our movie cameraman than the many thrill-packed games in which our basketball team participated. Claptaincd by 'lack Horst, this small, scrappy quintet never admitted defeat until the linal gun, and the courage and spirit of its members was worthy of l3righton's praise. The number of over-time games and of games in which the score was practically even until the linal quarter added to the excitement of the many basketball fans in this community. Perhaps the most exciting of these games was l3righton's victory over Spencerport in the last game which will be played in league competition on the present court. Overcoming a seven-point deficit at the intermission, Brighton staged a thrilling last-quarter rally, dropping in the winning bucket with only seconds left to play. The success of a squad should not be measured by the number of points scored or of games won, but by the spirit of the team and the brand of good, clean sportsmanship which it displays. By these standards our team this year was certainly a success. 51 L 4.

BASEBALL The first spring scene in our sportcast is at Horst Field, center of Brighton baseball activities. With the complete outfield and two positions in the infield to be replaced because of graduations, Coach Cassius Conner has been shifting his men to find a Winning combination for the 1940 league race. Behind the bat Coach Conner has jack Van Reypen and Art Ferris to receive Carl Turnquist's offer- ings. Randall Stover, Robert Stoll, and David Hubbell represent the rest of the cream of the mound staff. Around the bases we find Allan Hovey at first, and Harry Smith, converted outfielder, at the keystone sack. As shortstop, we find last year's regular second baseman, Jack Horst. Ben Anthony holds down the hot corner. The outfield has been constantly a five man race with Ken Schlegel, Dick Miller, Don Smith, Charles White, and Sam Cooper offering the competition. As the CROSSROADS goes to press, Brighton has lost one league game, but flashes of good ball in the lrondequoit contest give promise of a good season. 52 ifouizru now: Mr. .Ymitlw CCm1tlO, l'Vill1er, Valentine, Flauferr, Wdt.rar1, Neel, Newell, De Vitrer, tlfvlzer, Mr. Hill CCourl1U.

TRACK The most recent production in the sports picture at Brighton has been track, which in one short year has given the Blue and White a position in the limelight in this locality. During 1939, the first year of competition, the locals won one triangular meet and were runners-up in another to Fairport, the county champs, by the margin of the relay. Of the team no one deserves more mention than Robert Meredith who, in the 440-run, was unde- feated throughout the season from the first triangular meet through the sectionals at the University of Rochester. Robert Latanzi also showed well in earning two lirsts and two seconds in league competition. This year, with most of the point-getters gone, the task lies on the shoulders of the few hold-overs. To date, Ken Wilber, Ray De Visser, .jack Leet, Charles Mollendorf, Bob Wisner, Bob Collins, Stanley Wolfson, and Jack St. John, have shown well under pressure. Our new track was the scene of all the meets this spring, including the final county meet. This gave local track fans ample opportunity to see our lads in action. 53 sTAND1No.' Merzibafz, Luqy, Benton, tllf0!'t'Y', Xrlifegef, l'Vei.w1iIler, Iluizlf.

Of this group only Dick Miller and Ken Schlegel remain from last year's squad. The other members of the squad will be chosen from Bud Haidt, Randel Stover, Fred Weismiller, and Carl Turnquist. The team will probably play most of its matches at the nearby Locust Hill Country Club, entertain- ing such schools as Fairport, University of Rochester freshmen, East Rochester, and Brockport. Plans have also been made for a twilight league to be held on the country links at Churchville with the above schools and others competing. CONTEST WINNERS Throughout the spring months the gym has been the center of activity as the different contests have been run off before a crowd of interested spectators. Two volley ball leagues were formed with the Freshmen and Sophomores as the Nationals and the Juniors and Seniors as the Americans. At the close of the league race the B. B.'s and the Sigma Psi's were at the top of their respective leagues. The Sigma Psi's lengthened their winning streak to seven straight when they defeated the B. B.'s to cop the school championship. During the same period Dick Goldstein defeated Rae Clark for the Ping Pong title, and Dick Miller won the foul shooting contest by sinking thirty-nine out of a possible fifty free throws, 54 SWIMMING When our swimming team won the Sectional Class B championship this year, it furnished an op- portunity to our sports-reel cameraman for some unusual pictures. Pictures actioned Charles Bowlin's record diving, others of Robert Valentine's record swim in the 50-yard event and another of Forbes Haidt, Allan Hovey, Donald Kimball, and Robert Valentine. There were glimpses of Donald Kimball as he won second place in the 100-yard swim and of the medley team, composed of Dick Miller, Allan Hovey, and Forbes Haidt, as they added another second place to the record of the victorious Brighton team. I TENNIS Tennis this year at Twelve Corners has genuinely expanded to include more than a score of Brighton's court enthusiasts. Interschool competition has been established to find the finest to wear the Blue and White against local schools. A ladder had been formed with the team selected from the top positions. Any time these top men may be challenged, and, if defeated, must relinquish their berth to their conqueror. This continual possibil- ity of change will stimulate keen competition among the squad. Opposition this year will be afforded by Brockport, Fairport, Pittsford, East Rochester, and Webster. Haidt, Valentine, Buwlin, Hovey, Kimball. Tor: Valentine, Lull, X. Xmith, Hough- mn, Nephew.

SOCCER Football was not the only interest for our sports reel cameraman during the fall season, for soccer at- tracted the attention of more than fifty lads. A league was formed with games played three nights a Week on the Held adjoining the local gridiron. The finale of the season was two interscholastic games with Pittsford and Penfield. We were repre- sented by twenty-Hve all stars picked from league competition. Scores were close, and our athletes showed so much promise that it is anticipated that soccer will be a major letter sport at the Twelve Corners school next year. INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL No sports production would be complete without an extensive intramural program. This past winter intramural basketball at our school held the interest of more than seventy-five boys. Of the fourteen teams in the two leagues, none played so skillfully as the Seven Ups who were suc- cessful in capturing the crown in a play-off game with the Hairless joe's. The finale of the season was a three game contest with the cream of East Rochester's students basket- ball teams. Although defeated in all three contests, the scores were close enough to show that keen competition and excitement were predominate. 56 COACHES In every movie production there are those who receive little credit for their unselfish work towards perfection. Our coaches come under this classification. The merit of a coach is measured not by news- paper accounts but by the affection and esteem of the students with whom he works. Brighton's coaching staff, composed of Miss Margaret Karges, Ross Smith, Elswood Hill, john Reed, Bert Van Horn, and Cassius Connor, has succeeded not only in teaching the valuable elements of different sports but also in engendering the sterling qualities so necessary to good athletes and to good citizens. CHEERLEADERS Hold that line! The voices of hundreds of fans rise on the still air of an autumn afternoon, and eleven fellows out on the field plunge in with renewed determination to prevent that threatened touchdown. Rah! Rah! Rah! The walls of the gym vibrate with the sound, and five lads respond to the referee's whistle with renewed vigor, determined to get that needed basket. To our cheering squad, composed of Fred Weismiller, Barbara Yawger, Betty Kneeland, Mildred Horst, Ernestine Blauw, John Flowers, Robert Mosher, and Robert Elwell, we owe our thanks for their part in our finished production.

We focus our attention next to individual scenes which include soccer, badminton, archery, Newcomb ball, volley ball, basketball, and baseball. Soccer, a fairly recent addition to our sports field, saw a large turn-out, although badminton, its supplement, was favored as well. Every Wednesday last fall, we focused our lens on the small group of marksmen who were putting into use the new grounds beyond the creek. Our camera also caught a picture of the Newcomb and volley ball teams as they played their noon games. After Thanksgiving, basketball, an increasingly popular sport, took the spotlight. One of the high- lights of the girls' sports was the Christmas tea followed by the basketball game between the Alumnae and the Seniors. For the first time in the history of girls' basketball, the Seniors beat the Alumnae. ln the intramural league, Betty Yates' team won the championship while in the class league, the Sopho- mores were victorious over the Seniors in an exciting play-off game. As Spring approached, baseball, the great American game, comes into prominence. Among the many enjoyable play days, the one for both boys and girls, which had St. Patrick's day as its theme, was perhaps the outstanding one of the year. As usual, the sports banquet in June concluded the girls' activities for the year. X -41 , -' 6 ' ,f I, -if Q 6,51 i- - .10 . 8 ,,-x 1:s'jL--g, i 5 - . 58 www x 59 1. 111 11 miiq. 2.
