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
