iii----:.....--..-7--...19 SPARX q0T:.1 .... .......... ' Junior-Senior Banquet. And a lovely banquet it was! All the grace and dignity of our colonial ancestors seemed to be present that night at our Colonial Banquet. A There is an old saying that the Senior is the most dignified creature imaginable. Perhaps so, but we did not let this dignity interfere with the good times we enjoyed this year. Sometimes our times were so good that a list of names greatly increased the list on the detention book. 'But of course this time to make up merely gave us some time for much needed study. Several members of our class are interested in teaching as a vocation, and our Normal Training class numbers seven. During our Junior and Senior years, we have completed the course outlined. This year each student has had one week's practice teaching in a rural school. This teaching experience will prove valuable to all the students, especially Elsie Stout and Betty Jo Leppert, who are going to teach in rural schools next year. This yeargthe musical organizations entered more events in the contests than ever before, with the Seniors contributing their talents. Many of these entries won the privilege of going to the State contest, and our class is justly proud of Jeanne Hoskins, who is going to the National contest to sing her Soprano solo. We are also proud of John Chuck who made a very good showing in basketball this year. John was a member of the Ke-Wash and All Sectional basketball teams. Richard Arnold was also a member of the Ke-Wash basketball team, and a second team member of the Ke-Wash football team. Again this year, the girls won the class Basketball championship, led by their star forward, Isabelle Pacha, Isabelle was also elected Football Pep Queen and was crowned at our Homecom- ing game with Richland. Several of our girls were members of a new- ly formed organization, the Pep Club, and Mildred Horner, a member, was also one of our cheer leaders. Three members of the one-act contest play, 0TriflesU,were from our class. We also presented a three-act play, WSunny Days Farmn, which was surrounded by mystery and suspense,. and greatly enjoyed by all who BEM it. In the com ercial department, John Chuck entered the amateur typing contest, and placed third. Mildred Horner and Patricia Edwards were able to transform words into little symbols known as shorthand with enough speed to become members of the shorthand contest team. We Seniors will always remember the pleasant days we spent at Brighton High schbol, and we hope we have loft something of value by our brief stay here.

Dur- ing our four years in high school, some pupils have been lost, and some have been gainedg our enrollment now stands at 17. At the gruesome ,Freshman initiation, the lofty upperclaosmen vainly tried to humble us, but their efforts were useless, for we emerged more determined than ever to make our high school days suc- cessful ones. Q And our determination was realized as a fact during our four years. In our first year, we entered whole-heartedly into declamatory, athletics, and music. Our ability to nburn the mid- night oiln was proved by Bill Kraemer,who ranked first in the state in the Science Academic Test in 1935. During our Sophomore year,our athletic boys were awarded foot- ball and basketball letters. lusic and declamatory also attracted many of our number this year. The girls were not to be outdone by the boys in athletic ability, so in our Junior year, our girls basketball team came through with flying colors to defeat the Senior girls, and vin the 1939 girls basketball chmfipionship. - Our Junior Play, nLook Uho's Heren, e hilarious comedy, was definitely enjoyed by the audience. Four girls won declamatory letters in their 'Junior year for their outstanding mwork in this field. The speedy members of the typing team von the right at Cttumwn to compete in the state typ- ing conttst. The members of the typing team cane back from Dos Moines after the state contest to ueet with the rest of their dass- mates and the Seniors at Hotel Turner in Fairfield for their annual
