Indeed, it is for the graduating seniors, that we - the OMEGA Staff members - present a pictorial history of some of those en- dearing, carefree days of blissful youth. When rambling through these pages of wistful memories, look at them through the eye of Nature: keeping in mind, the rugged beauty that surrounds our every-living moment--the hills. May we offer you, as a setting for this year's theme, those wondrous and happy days lived amidst those hills. Appropriately, this year's publication will be known as The Hills Edition. Adam D. Goykovich Advisor I I The New Horizon breeze rustles through the valley. A certain quietness--a stil1ness--prel- udes a new dawn being born. And in ever so short a time, the dawn will blossom into the full light of day, awaiting the tranquil twilight of evening. The days of frustration, the days of adventure, the days of pure intellectual enlightment are fast approaching their omega. We Dedicute this 1966 edition of the Omega to our Sponsors MRS. MARY E. MOYNIHAN Now that you are nearing the completion of your high school training, your thoughts turn toward a world full of changes, of obstacles and defeats, of contests and victories. You have been but partially prepared to meet this world's challengeg you will be continually striving to fill your niche, to earn your place in today's tempestuous pattern. A great part of your responsibility is to find this place, to learn why you are here and what you can do for mankind. The French use the expression raison d'etre , a reason to be. To be happy, you must know that you were meant to be alive in God's world, that you have a role to play, a place to filly this role must be so important to you that you will continue to train yourself and discipline your- self to play it with allyour mind, your strength, and your heart. May God help you all to find your raison detre and guide you to the serenity that attends a task well done. Sincerely, Mary E, Moynihan ! 6 MR. RICHARD LEYLAND In retrospect a student's four years in high school are as different as the seasons of the yearg he naturally becomes a different individual each year as he advances from freshman to senior status. Throughout all these years--I have enjoyed each and every moment of my pleasant and close association with you as students. With remembrance of our days past, I extend to you the most sincere and best wishes for a highly rewarding future. Richard Leyland Many of you are nearing the end of what may be the only formal education you will receive. You, and I too, have received the values of the time spent together in the last six years. Our relationship has been one in whichlhope in- tangible results have oc- curred. If you have devel- oped strength in character, stick-to-it-iveness and the ability to adjust to adverse situations, then your time in school has been worthwhile. These are values which are intangible. It is my hope that each and everyone of you revere the years you spent at B. H. S, Mr. Zegeer MR.

Pat, a general student, has participated in varied activities including the Omega staff, G.A.A. president, F.H.A. Library Staff, and cheerleadingg she was vice-president of the student council last year and received Homecoming Sweetheart honors. She reigned over the Christmas holidays as queen of the Holiday Formal. Also, Pat was the recipient of the American Legion Es- say Award in her freshman year. Rich, a general student, has contributed much to the success of our athletic program by participating in basketball, football and trackg he was active in Omega and student council work. Also, in his freshman year he won the American Legion Fssay Contest. Mr. and Miss B.H.S. is more than amere title bestowed upon deserving individuals of our class: this title represents the very embodiment of all those qualities that make up the spirit of the students of Brilliant Memorial High. We want to wish to Pat and Rich the best of luck and suc- cess in their future endeavors . . . whether it be singularly or together., f ,, 'iv' , i,-35 3, , Ahmiuisfraffo 11 aah ffatulfg 6 37-0 -eggs: ak.: dents, parents, teachers, employees, and ad- ministratorsj work together, this can develope into a very fine school system. You can look forward to new facilities, to updated programs, to an excellent teaching staff, and to anumber of pupil services which are not now being offered. You can expect and should receive an education CK through 125 that compares favorably to any in this area. I don't mean to infer that you are not now receiving an adequate education, but I am convinced that we can appreciably improve your educational program. If the District is to grow and to prosper, then all areas of the Buckeye Local District must be willing to give and take. Do not become impatient and expect too much too quickly. Time will be required, much serious thought and planning is necessary and must precede any contemplated physical changes. All of the necessary ingredients for agood school system are here. Let's try to put these ingredients together and work toward an edu- cational program of which we can all be proud. In closing I wish to extend to all of you my best wishes for a successful school year and my special congratulations to the grad- uating class of 1966. To you seniors as you go out into the adult world, and to you under- graduates, my sincere wish for a productive and happy future. Sincerely, MR. FRED. B. Lone Superintendent of Buckeye Local School District We must be willing to Give and Take Bear Siuhents, It's rather ironic that I should be welcoming you to the newly created Buckeye Local School District. Ironic, because most of you have been here for a number of years and I have been here for just a short time. Without you and other young people throughout the immediate area, there could have been no consolidated school district. For most of you boys and girls of present high school age there will be very little immediate change in the schools and school activities, but for the younger studenm there can be much excitement in store. As you probably already know, this new District is composed of Adena, Brilliant, Dillonvale, Harrisville, Mt. Pleasant, Smithfield, and Yorkville. At present there are approximately 4000 students. Naturally, I am quite pleased to be serving as superintendent of this 2 unique and worthwhile consolidation. Istrongly believe that if we all Qstu- Aix b 'q l UA From the Office of the Principal On coming to Brilliant it has been my pleasure to find a competent staff with a desire to please and to be cooperative. May the serving of our youthbe rewarding both to us, as a faculty, and to them: in the knowledge that we are playing an integral part in their future, hence, the future of the world, in theway for which we are each best prepared. To you the Faculty, each day should be a new chal- lenge met with patience and understanding. We find knowledge once won cannot be lost. We in America possess a wonderful opportunity to take advantage of our public education and to grow in knowledge. We are faced with a National Challenge for World Survival and the balance of knowledge hangs on learning and of our taking advantage of the many opportunities given us. To each graduating senior: When you as an individual plan to continue your education, it speaks well for your school, parents, and community. Congratulations are due both the parents and students for having the vision of the future in this Space Age. Having a goal in life is amost important factor. The qualities necessary for attaining this goal are the willing- ness to work, the ability to get alongwith people, and the art of finding pleasures in the ordinary events of the day. So have a specific goal! Belive in your ability to reach it! Work now! And keep at it! Then may your every en- deavor be rewarding. Sincerely, Jack C. Berryhill ,, MR. JACK C.

Very rarely do we get the opportunity to see the faces of our County Administrative Personnel. We would like to welcome Mr. Norman G. Summers, County Superintendent, Miss Norma Zambon, and Miss Joyce Wells to the pages of our Omega. We feel sure that their presence will lend anote of dignity to our belabored efforts. We are particulary proud of young, Miss Joyce Wells. Sheis a 1965 graduate of our own Brilliant Memorial High. Speaking of Consolidation . . . In a few years the consolidation of our six area schools--Adena, Brilliant, Dillonvale, Mt. Pleasant, Smithfield, and Yorkville will be a completed reality. Already the dream is becoming more and more tangible. Along with an elemen- tary building, which is already under construction, and ultimately, a new high school building, will come an expanding curriculum, better facilities, and more revenue to operate the schools in the district. With these increased opportunities a student will be able to get a more varied and more extensive education which will be of great value for those going to college and entering the business world after grad- uation. In our changing world the necessity for a better education is rapidly in- creasing. Many of the schools, which now compose the new enterprise, are in definite need of the advancement in education such asthis consolidation will make possible. Not only are these schools over-crowded but many of the teachers are burdened with tight teaching and guidance schedules. Soon, even the oppor- tunities provided by the consolidation will, themselves, not be enough. The administrative work of this organization was given to the recently-elected officials who took office the first of January, 1966. The following officers compose the Buckeye Local School District's Board of Education: President , Robert I. Quinn, Brilliantg Vice-President, Walter Peltz, Mt. Pleasant: Raymond H. Henry, Dillon- vale: Louis Sutherland, Smithfieldg Frank B. Hargrave, Adena. Mrs. Ann Skews will serve as clerk to the Board of Education. From the minds of this elected Board of Education, we are looking forward to great progress. We know it will take all of their mental resources to formulate a program of the magnitude we anticipate.

CHARLES SINDLINGER, B.A. Ohio University The Sdences The science program delves into the realm of discoveries-- seeking to fulfill the eager curiosity of young minds. Laboratory experiments in chemistry open an entirely new world of the senses- colors, odors, textures, and sounds. Field trips and observations give the student new awareness of his environment. Films and lectures keep him abreast the new scientific developments. Reference work and completed projects enable the student to see the products of his own efforts. A co-ordinant study in the field of sciences is mathematics. Mathematics furnishes the student with the ability to express theories into quantitative measures. Algebra, geometry, and trigonometry build the foundation from scientific expressions into the abstract. With the teacher's knowledge and the student's desire for learn- ing, the industrious individual can create new ideas for the benefit of mankind, through the sciences. X. MR. CLIFFORD CRIBBS, B.S, Ohio University MR, ADAM GOYKOVICH, B.S. B.A, College of Steubenville The Humanities Do you want to visit the Nile, catch a glimpse of Pharoah's tomb, and delve into the ruins of ancient cultures? Why not take a course in World History? With the help of the teacher and the use of a history book, one can travel to many lands and learn what has made man's culture today. Projects of landscapes, maps, buildings and inventions make your trip more realistic. As you journey through the years, your teacher parallels history with the activities of the modem world. Debates on important problems - Viet Nam, imperialism, nuclear arma- ments - bring international issues into the classrooms. American history, its government and problems of democracy are realized as students relate America's positioninworld affairs. Indeed, the history of social studies enables one to gain a keen and sincere appreciation of his heritage. MR. RICHARD LEYLAND, B.S. Ohio University MR. JOSEPH HAMROCK, B.S.

VIRGINIA MOYNIHAN, B.A. Ohio Wesleyan Foreign Languages The foreign languages lift one into anew and exciting world. Though conjugations declensions, and the nomenclatures of the languages are sometimes difficult to learn, constant practice and application of the conversational language will increase your knowledge of the foreign tongues. As you progress with your studies you will become more in- terested in the peoples of different nations. Through you.r Spanish and Latin textbooks, you learn about the history and cultures of the people. This applies to the study of any language. In time, your understanding of the language grows and you gain a keener insight of some of the world's peoples. When one understands the lan- guages of our foreign neighbors--ultimately, one begins to under- stand the behaviors of these peoples. With this new insight, world peace comes a step closer to reality. For the first time in recent years, a foreign language club has been formed--The Spanish Club. Under the direction of Mrs. Virginia Moynihan, this club will attempt to fulfill some of the ideas advocated by the language department, The Spanish Club will explore the culture of Spain, the Americas, and other Spanish-speaking nations throughout the world. Members will report on the historical and social de- velopment of these nations. They will correspond with pen pals in the Spanish lands . . . cementing concrete relations. MRS.

THEODORE DALRYMPLE, M.Ed. U. of Pittsburg MR. ANDREW SURANOVICH, M. Lit. U. of Pittsburg English Through the years the English department at Brilliant High School has given us valuable knowledge. Besides the difficult gerunds, infinitives, and diagrams, our teachers have portrayed vivid personalities in American Literature--Mark Twain, Bret Harte, Thoreau. English Literature has given students such immortal characters as Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Macbeth. These dominant figures in the Shakespearian plays are often dramatized in the classroom or on stage. Group tape recordings renew the memory of these presentations. In the course of the English program, students learn funda- mentals of compositions, themes, and essays to prepare for future college work. Oral recitations build confidence and poise in one's own ability. The daily addition ofwords increases our vocabulary. Without a doubt, the English department is a working organism-- emphasizing the use of English in every field and in practical life experiences. An absolute must in any English courseisthe study of Speech. Within the Speech Class, students develop correct articulation. They become adept at co-ordinating their thoughts with the expressions of their ideas. Nervous students learn to control their speech before an audience. Throughout the course, the class learns to give tributes, introductions and individual orations by practicing their wit and their various intellectual aptitudes, I9 20 MISS IUDITH ROUTZON, B.A, Wat Liberty State College MRS. IMOGENE LOUK, A.B. Fairmont College MRS. SONJA ARMSTRONG, B.S. Ashland College Business The Business Department strives to prepare career-minded students for work in the commercial world. Basic skills taught to commercial students include: typing, shorthand, bookkeepe ing. Typing teaches the pupil to use the typewriter efficiently. Correct typing procedures and the use of electric typewriters, duplicators, and the mimeograph are some of the precision in- struments used in the business practices. Shorthand is an ab- breviated written language which increases one's skill in taking dictation. Bookkeeping gives basic fundamentals of bookkeeping. Bookkeeping II is a conclusion with more detailed information. Essential supplements to these basic subjects are courses in Business Law, Office Practice, and Business English: A law course in high school supplies a general knowledge of basic law, which is fundamentally based on the ideas of morality and ethics. Such a course should be mandatory of all graduating students. When an accredited commercial student graduates from Brilliant High School, he or she isprepared to face most problems of the business world. From an early position as a typist, one may aspire to higher goals, eventually leading to the top as a private secretary. Or he may wish to continue his high school commercial training at a business university. If he applies himself faithfully to his work, he will be secure in the fast pace of the business world today. .... I MRS. GLADYS M. KULL, A.B. Muskingum College Home Economics Home Economics prepares young girls for their future role as homemakers. Teaching the practical arts - cooking, sewing, cleaning, and baking - enables-these future housewivesto fulfill their duties. In spacious, comfortable kitchens of the Home-Ec Lab, students can apply the new practices they have learned. Moreover, Home-Ec stresses the importance of nutrients in the diet and well-balanced meals. It provides scientific facts for some home needs. The student learns these facts while working in the kitchen. Not only are daily home making habits stressed, but also factors of interior decorating and child care are previewed. Consequently, the home-economics division gives a complete course for the young homemaker. MISS LOUISE VOORHEIS, B. Mus. Muskingum College Music In instrumental and choral music the melodious voices and full sotmds blend to present lively entertainment at the concerts. Yet, does one realize how much work and effort are involved to make these performances a success? Within the band, members must learn fingering--hitting the correct notes on a brass instrument--dynamics, rhythm, tempo, major and minor scales--the list is endless, Each student must put forth a constant stream of effort and practicehpractice--practice. The chorus, too, must learn many factors essential to the harmon- ious combination of their voices--breath support, tone, diction, and the musical notes. As they work, the chorus members develop good posture, vocal control, and musical ability. Not all is work, however, for there are many rewards. The most important highlight of the year, to some students, is the music festival. This occasion holds considerable attention, for both band and chorus, who strive to place a I , ass 75: MR. FREDERICK ROSS, B. Mus. Geneva College MR. WALTER A. KULL A Humble Tribute to an Honorable Man . . . During His Final Year of Teaching By NeilWaugh What is a teacher? No one statement can define. A teacher can be many things--instructor, confident, leader, and friend. There are all kinds of teachers--aggressive, deep-thinking, dedicated, or espe- cially ambitious. It certainly takes a lot to be any of these. As students, we sometimes neglect to appreciate their guidance and leadershipg as a teacher might witness this situation, he must feel he has entered a most unrewarding profession. But as we mature and begin to think about our future endeavors, we often look back with grateful memories to those people who have given so much of themselves to usg as we reminisce, we also realize that a teacher's life is not really so unrewarding. 22 For now we understand how satisfying it must be to see so many youths succeed and take their places as useful citizens and leaders. Indeed such a man as Mr. Walter A. Kull, must have experi- enced these sadnesses and joys of his profession many times in his long teaching career . . . which began twenty-six years ago in Painsville, Ohio. After receiving his Bachelor of Arts and Commerce Degree, he continued his studies at Western Reserve University where he obtained his Masters Degree of Education. An education gained, he went to New York and worked for the National Bank of America: after gaining experience in the business world, he left to seek his fortunes elsewhere and served as the secretary-treasurer of a Silk Dye Manufacturing establish- ment. Now married, he left New York and entered the teaching field. Following his initial teaching experience, he served for a brief term in the United States Armed Forces. Succeeding these years of service to his country he came to Brilliant where he em- barked on a long and industrious teaching career in the field of Mechanical Drawing and the Manual Arts. As we leave our home of learning and bid farewell and give thanks, we hope that you, Mr. Kull, can lean back to one of the most satisfying experiences of your life and say, I helped to mold them--they are a part of ME. Indeed, Mr. Kull, you have become a part of us. Rich Lewis listens intently to the ol' Doctor Seninrs GEORGE BRENT ADAMS College Prep. PETER H. ADRIAN Vice -President College Prep. RONALD J.

PEGGY IO VERHOVEC General Profile With nostalgia, we contemplate these past four seemingly long--yet relatively short--years and wonder just when it was that we had matured . . . We anxiously awaited our Freshman year at Memorial High School. Realizing that this was the key to our future, we carefully selected a course of study. We were expertly guided by our class sponsors - Mrs. Mary Moynihan, Mr. Richard Ley- land, Mr. Moses Zegeer. We were oh - so obedient trying to follow our upperclass- men's examples. Hoping to make a grand impression on that year's extracurricular activities, we sponsored the successful Swing into Spring. We also solicited for The Class Flower, The Carnation the magazine campaign and sold candy to add to our slowly, but steadily, rising --a symbol of love and purity class funds. During our Sophomore year we found our classroom studies very challenging and concentrated mostly on achieving higher scholarship. The prominent objective in our minds that year was that of gaining honor by presenting the Class of 1965 an entertaining Prom at the Hotel McClure in Wheeling, West Virginia. Our Junior year's activities also included the Cupid's Caper and the production of the play. The presentation of BE YOUR AGE created fascinating results. There was also much excitement and impatience as we ordered our class rings--the most treas- ured and prided assets of our high school curriculum. The summer months hurried by as our senior pictures were taken. Yes, suddenly we were the seniors and were leading the school in many activities. We were greeted by a very pleasant fac- ulty headed by our amiable principal, Mr. lack C. Berryhill. Now as part of the Buckeye Local School District, we worked harder to pave the way toward the desire for perfect unification of used-to-be rival schools. The year started with so many projects--mainly the OMEGA, advised by the very capable Mr. Adam D. Goykovich. We also presented the school with GOODBYE CHARLIE, under the direction of Mr. Zegeer. Our class of seniors took a fine hand in adding to the lyceums and special public address programs. The Christmas Formal gave us our last opportunity to sponsor a social event. The year of 1966 gave us a feeling of great accomplishment as the Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises climaxed our most rewarding escapade. Graduation has drawn to a close one chapter of our lives. There will be many more chapters, yet to be written, as we make our way into the many different facets of life's journey. Our anticipations, our enthusiasms, are still running highg it is this spirit that will inevitably overcome our obstacles, and pave the road ahead, with success. It is success, that most every man strives to achieve. It is success that makes this world a brighter, a richer, a happier place to live in. It is in the living that we find the heart of life, indeed, it is within this heart, that we find the very breadth of life--love. And with love, we reluctantly leave our happy past behind, and look to new horizons, still distant. To our benefactors and to our successors we extend our love and deep appreciation for the days spent together and bid farewell to fond remem- brances.

As you can tell, Pete and Linda both deserve a lot of credit for taking the time to keep themselves so well groomed. Our class has many stand-outs, es- pecially in this category. Are you guilty? Did you make this mess? Well, just be thankful Chops and Wilma were around to clean up after you. Do you find the boys at B.H.S. hard to get along with?

Brilliant is constantly growing due to many factors. Some of these factors are the steady flow of people into our valley, in search of jobs, and inevitably, a better way of life. Our school buildings are overcrowded and our facilities are quite in- adequate. But, these conditions are only temporary. Already we have set to the task of improving our facilities. At the north end of our high school a new elementary building is be- ing constructed. This building, when it is completed, will alleviate the problem of overflow on the elementary and junior high levels. Around our high school numerous changes are taking place. As you know, the old tennis court was removed when the site was chosen for the new elementary building. However, at the south end of our school, we now have a new tennis court, which many of you have already used. If you have used it, you know from experience that it is a great improve- ment. An atmosphere of confusion has clouded our halls through most of this year. The physical education classes have been infacilitated by the lack of locker rooms. But we have one major conciliation, just think of the tre- mendous, new advantage we will have, and how proud we will be when Visiting Schools use our new, modern facilities. This year the mechanical drawing class attempted to hold its sessions in the lobby of the auditorium. This is necessary because we are expanding Shop, Mechanical drawing rooms, and the industrial arts department. The shop was divided into electrical, wood, iron, and metal shops. There will be new jointers, sanders, saws, grinders, and lathes. There will be a new engineer drafting room when construction is complete. The mechanical drawing room and the industrial arts department are getting new tables and stools as part of their new equipment. 54 Engineers take time to study the blueprints to solve a problem that has arisen in the construction of new locker facilities. 'Xt Yes, we have had an air of confusion about the school this year and our campus has been rather unat- tractive, due to the construction. However, when our expansion program is complete and the scene of con- struction disappears, we can settle back and enjoy our new facilities. As we look back on this year we will be able to say, indeed it was all wortha few months of dis- comfort. Service Plus I I O 3 W if ' Q1 2 W... ig A , .t iiti x ' ' -i-ti esirf A.

Q MISS MARY JANE WILLIAMS VALEDICTORIAN - 1965 58 As Valedictorian of The Class of 1965, Jane Williams fully deserved the honors presented to her. An industrious student, Jane was active in many organizations. She was a prominent member of the G.A.A., Beta Club, and the F.H.A. In the latter she held the State office of Historian. Jane was also an American Legion essay winner. As a band member and a lively majorette, Janie proved she had talent plus. For her Valedictorian Address, Promises to Keep, Jane Williams combined all her ef- forts to present an inspiring and memorable salute to education. Today Miss Williams is majoring in Home Economics at Ohio State University. For her Salutatorian Address, Lois Jean Naylor aptly selected a quote from Robert Frost's Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening , Miles to Go Before I Sleep . Lois probed the possibilities of Man's future through education. She believed that knowledge will enrich civilization. She stresses that opportunities are available, but one must be able to recognize them. Lois was an energetic student throughout her high school years. She was an active par- ticipant of F.H.A., Band, and annual staff. in her senior year, she served as President ofthe Beta Club. Miss Naylor is now in nurses' training at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus.

The banquet opened with the invocation given by Peggy Verhovec. The Prom attendants were welcomed bythe Junior Class President, Robert Norris, followed by the acceptance of Senior President, Thomas Schaefer. We were entertained by the Twilighters of Wheeling, until midnight. During the course of the evening, it was revealed that Greg Poole and Sharon Thompson would reign as.King and Queen.

The committees were made and each was given a special chairman to keep the rest of the members on their toes. The Place Com- mittee had their job of finding the place to hold the prom, Finally, after looking over many places, they decided on the beautiful Hotel McClure. The Invitation Committee was kept busy writing invitations, passing them out, and marking down the reservations. Having a dif- ficult task, the Favor Committee had to de- cide on a favor that the guests would keep for many fond memories. They decided on a boy and a girl sitting on a park bench. Last, but not least, the Decorating Committee had to plan the decorations for the prom. Mr. Leyland, the class sponsor, was kept very busy spending time with each ofthe com- mittees helping them to decide on the best they could, to help to make the prom a success. As the days passed, each special commit- tee added its final. touches to produce abeauti- ful prom for the class of 1965. A striking pose taken from atop the grand stairway of the Hotel McClure.

The Seniors, impulsively have Their Day - The day opened with the many sophisti- cated, almost graduated seniors dressed with their innermost feelings on the outside. Sen- iors with a spirit of good natured fun, decided to wear a motley array of patched blue- jeans, straw hats, beach outfits, sunglasses, and san- dals. All these were displayed with an air of festive, joking fun, for now the seniors did not have to conform to standard rules. Their al- most extreme casualness belied their final at- tempt to harmonize. Nevertheless, throughout this gaiety and frivolity, the seniors realized that this show would be a moment of parting, for it imme- diately precedes the finality of graduation. This was the last day of their school life. They managed somehow, to smother their feelings as they entertained their fellow com- panions with an afternoon performance of Shindig. The show opened with Herman and His Varmits who sang a few of their latest hits. The presentation continued with the atmosphere of a television special, including live commercials, Qin color evenj. Gil Sterling was a real swinger, narrating the big event. Jane and Terry silenced onlookers with a do-it-yourself version of Do You Want To Know A Secret? One group rounded a style show from way-back-when till the present day fash- ions with Pat Mooney modeling the latest craze---the topless bathing suit. Skits, both talented and humorous, as well as impersonations of teachers, highlighted the Shindig. The Seniors of 1965 indeed gave this school one of the liveliest shows yet. rinre nf Hearn Each year the Ohio Council of Churches sponsors the Prince of Peace Contest. Participants consist of high school students. These contestants usually prepare a month in advance for delivery of their orations. A pam- phlet containing several speeches is prepared and distributed by the Coun- cil. These are used by the students, or if they prefer, to write their own. The average deliverance is twelve minutes. Participants are scored by unknown and unrelated judges, usually from professions such as law, teach- ing, and the ministry. The local contest has been held during a Sunday evening in autumn. The winner and the alternate then continue to further study their speeches for the County Contest: finally that winner competes in the District Contest. The grand winner is rewarded with a week, ex- pense-paid trip to the United Nations Headquarters at Lake Success in New York. All winners receive Medals of Merit. This year's contestants were Sue-Ann Livingston, winner: Sharon Kou- rim, alternate: Joy Gasking and Peggy Verhovec. Miss Livingston placed second in the county contest, and being a junior, she has a very excellent chance of going all the way next year.

That never ending final touch. 1 The Actors Played With Gusto and Exuberance, While: Moses Led His Flock to a Brilliant Performance The theater dims as the hushed audience awaits the opening of the curtains. The long, flowing drapes part--lights flood the stage--the play begins. One again the audience drifts into another world--that of the play. All hearts share the laughter and tears, triumphs and failures as the characters unfold their story. These emotions are captured and evoked through that captivating medium-- drama. Yet it is the peop1e's reactions to this drama that determines a play--a success or a futile effort. When the curtain closes and the audience thunders with applause, then the actors know the play is a hit. Such an ovation was given to GOODBYE CHARLIE, presented by the Senior Class under the artful direction of Mr. Moses Zegeer. Those who took part in this production werezl-lelen Batenburg, Craig Ramsey, Joy Gaskin, Lawrence Puncheon, Frank Noble, Pete Adri- an, Judy Critser, Bill Craig, Fran Iasenec, Diana Reinacher, Peggy Verhovec, and Donna VanFossen.

These men have devoted them- selves to the efficient operation of our school. They have combined their concentrated ef- forts to make this school a precise working or- ganization. Each, in his own way, has endeavored to enrich the school. Mr. Moore, our custodian, has seen that rooms are warm, halls and grounds are cleaned and that a general atmosphere of orderliness prevails. Mr. Berryhill and Mr. Long promote good education with their efforts to contract capable teachers and to provide for the basic needs of the school.

Juniors were in- cluded on this year's staff to preview the necessary workings of ayearbook. Thus, they will be better prepared for the next year's edition. Hereafter, this early familiarization will be a standard procedure. Those who were sincere in their desire to work becam immediate staff members with of- ficial titles. Other volunteers wer assigned to the advertising depart- ment. Without their work, our finan- cial schemes would have gone astray As days of work sessions pro- gressed, the staff felt more at eas with their assignments. Work shops for after school and on Saturdays were set into working order. Specific tasks were scheduled and handed to th staff. However, not all of this time was constantly devoted to tedious operations. A familiar atmosphere of comradeship developed among the workers. A spirit of understanding and 4303 I - 1 Assistant Editor Sports Editor Peggy Verhovec Wayne Bell co-operation evolved as the staff realized the importance of meeting the deadlines. To liven the long hours spent after school some of the girls would bring a radio, pizzas, potato chips, popcorn, candy, or pies. The halls were silent--almost--as the OMEGA Staff settled for a hard night of concen- trated effort. The evening usually began with a loud bang on the door as a late comer tried to get in. He was invariably greeted by Mr. Goykovich who pleasingly announced, Ahh, glad you could make it here tonight. There followed a briefing on the day's accomplish- ments and expected proposals. From the back of 108--the headquarters of the OMEGA Staff - a disgruntled voice rang out-- Give me the white paint. Fran Jasenec once again corrected a typing error. The others had proceeded to their special tasks. Barbara bong could be seen laying out pictures for design. Black squares of paper formed an attractive arrangement on a dummy sheet. Another lay-out was ready for the final copy and Mr. G's approval. 'Iypists Fran Jasenec, Sandy Lewis, and Pat Shipley were expertly typing and blocking articles. These girls also wrote appropriate captions for significant pictures. Helen Batenburg, performing a variety of duties was dubbed, Our Girl Friday . Helen did lay-out work, typing and even proofreading final copies. Her spirited, ready wit often livened the long evening's work hours. Rich Wine, the very capable art editor, showed great talent throughout this yearbook. Proof of this is the precise and intricate artwork of the divisional pages. His flair for expert artistry will bring this book lasting quality of beauty. Co-editors, Peggy Verhovec and Jo Wszeborowski, worked extensively for articles to co- incide with the story expressed in the pictures. Since extra copy was always needed to make the design of a page more uniform, these girls dubbed themselves, The Write More Twins Both co-operated to write interesting and effective copy. Wayne Bell, Sports Editor, revealed his special talents in his ability to design and pro- duce a brilliant sports section. His ingenuity for appropriate copy really vitalized the school sports section. Qcontinued on page 835 ' Q W.

Journalism is not only Inspiring, But Fun Motivation Leads to Written Composition By Donna Vodus There are fourteen members of the Flashes Staff: eleven seniors and three juniors. It is the responsibility of these few students to publish the school news- paper. The two Co-Editors, Wilma Cassidy QProduction Editorj, and Mikelene Slivka fNews Editorj, supervise publications under the advisorship of Mr. Andrew Suranovich. Those members of the News Staff are Donna Van Fossen, Robert Gibbs, Robert Norris, Bob Kirkland, and Wayne Bell. These students find news pertaining to school life and activities and write a full, detailed report for pub- lication. The Production Staff is composed ofDonna Vadas, Craig Ramsey, Di- ana Reinacher, Pat Shipley, Judy Carpenter and Nancy Clark. Their responsibil- ity is to type the newspaper and place it in its proper order. Although each stu- dent has an assigned post , everyone contributes his share to all sections of the paper--from writing feature stories, editorials, gathering data to copy typing. Publication of The Flashes provides practice for those items of information learned inlournalism Class. The full purpose behind Journalism Class is to moti- vate the students to work in written composition, to provide effective training of the school newspaper and to influence students to read a regular newspaper in- telligently, and to enable them to distinguish between fact and non-factual matter. Although The Flashes Staff requires thought, time, and work, each mem- ber discovers that Journalism is not only inspiring, but fun!

This work shop provides vocal lessons with top area vocalists, rhythmic and breath- ing exercises, a chance to perform with some of the top area high school students in a recital, and, of course, fun and recreation. After a full week of work and fun, one returns home tired with the satisfaction of knowing a little more about vocal music and music appreciation. We are proud of our chorus, as they have provided entertain- ment throughout the year. They have added zest to programs in our school auditorium. With the assistance of Miss Voorheis, we are positive the chorus will continue to strive to its best singing abilities.

Last year Brilliant High School started a new job for the students--office workers. These students had to be honest, trustworthy students who wouldn't mind spending some of their time to help others. Under the guiding hand of Miss Betty Brettel, the office workers learned how to operate a number of various machines such as the mimeograph and thc photostat machines. Betty has also given each of these workers a general idea on the operation of a business office, courtesy in the office, working on a schedule and efficiency in the office. These workers do such various jobs as taking care of daily at- tendance, typing exams and running them off on the liquid-process duplivator, taking care of Standardized tests and any other odd jobs that are assigned to them, relating to the commercial field. 92 The cafeteria workers are a very important component part to the over- all efficiency of the operation of the school cafeteria. They learn the vari- ous arts of cooking and how to serve meals properly. One of the prime pre-requisite is maximum cleanli- ness, both by the students themselves and the area in which they work. They are under the guidance offlvlrs. Goolsby and Mrs. Ashton, who super- vise a spotless kitchen. El Circulo Espuiol Conseiero Lu Seiora Moynihun ,,...,'.., ... .-Q., .,,.. , FIRST ROW: R.

The Girls Athletic Association, more com- monly known as the G.A.A., which is sponsored by Mrs. Imogene Louk, creates an intramural schedule which gives the girls a chance to show off their athletic ability. Basketball, volleyball, and kickball have been the basic sports exercised in the intramural program. A major feature in which the Senior G,A.A. members participated was the Women Faculty vs. the Senior G.A.A. mem- bers sponsored by the Boosters Club. It is highly possible this game will become an annual event. The G.A.A. has also played Dillonvale High School inavariety of contests.

The many clubs of Brilliant Memorial High were constantly engaged in varied activities of the school and community. One such club was the Beta Organization. The Beta is a club of service which prides itself in helping people of the community, school, and of its fellow colleagues. The organization under the leadership of NeilWaugh, President: Josephine Wszeborowski, Vice-President: Susan Fronckel, Sec- retary: and Patty Gron, Treasurer: began its yearly activities by soliciting for ads which financed the football programs. The pro- ceedings from the programs were used to send members of the club to convention which was held at the Neil House in Columbus, Ohio. The many clubs of Ohio met three times during the two day trip to select the State Officers for the coming year. Later in the year, the talented Freshmen who were desiring the honors of membership were inducted into the club during the annual Banquet: also, the new officers were installed with hopes for another successful year of the Brilliant Chapter of the National Beta Club. , For the past three years the Beta Club has sponsored a foster child in Viet Nam - Le thi Luong. Under the program of The Foster Parent's Plan, the Beta Club sends Luong a S45 check each quarter. This amount will provide Luong with food, clothing, and other essentials. A Christmas package of food and toys is sent to Luong every year. Beta members and Luong correspond regularly with translations provided by The Foster Parent's Plan.

Success is no longer judged by victory in only one or two objective contests. The mechanics of the sport have developed to a point where cool, calculating efficiency must be blended in the right proportions with the ol' fight . The fighting spirit--the spark that drives players--must, of course, be there because the football team, without the competi- tive urge, is hopeless. The mental condition wins or loses more football games than any other single factor. Superior mental condition provides the basis for the great majority of those so-called upsets. Strictly speaking, these are not upsets. One thing that puzzles many football enthusiasts, perhaps you are one of these, is the reason why a team that is caught off guard and overconfident at the beginning of a game cannot snap out of it. One would think that the between-the-halves per- iod would give a surprised team a chance to regain its poise. But it rarely works out that way. It is too late to do much after the game starts when an overconfident, self-admiring team has been knocked off its perch by a group of rude young men who neglected to read the newspaper. This has occurred both ways for Brilliant this year! Throughout this tottering season Brilliant was a keen, alert, and heads up team. It had to be, in order to win fifty per cent of its games. Brilliant looked especially good on the field this past year with speed and a lot of fighting capacity. . .but lacked reserve depth in the backfield. Even though the Blue Devils went to the fold this season with great confidence built of grit and determination, they were constantly aware of the determination of the opposition, and their will and desire to win. l02 FRONT ROW: Manager, R.

LAWRENE PUNCHEON Tackle Many a time this past season this hulk-of-a-tackle was called upon to perform a variety of roles on the Blue Devil line.

LINDA MCCA RTY On Saturday, October 16, 1965, the Student Council sponsored the annual Homecoming festivities. The day's attractions began with a parade. The parade consisted ofthe Brilliant High Marching-Band followed by the cars of those candidates for queen and their attendants. Upon arrival at the school, the girls were driven to the football field, where they awaited the exciting mo- ment of halftime. As the halftime ceremony approached, the girls were driven to the opposite side of the field. Dressed in long gowns, each girl was escorted across the field by her father The first candidate across the field was Linda McCarty, attendant Carolyn Briggs next was Pat Shipley attendant Gretch en Carmoneyg and Donna Vadas, attendant Kathy Dolan The 1964 Homecoming Queen--MISS JOYCE IASENEC indo '?Sv...,,,xr KATHY DOLAN ueens Homecoming '65 CAROLYN BRIGGS GRETCHEN CARMONEY The 1965-1966 Homecoming Queen was Linda McCarty, crowned by Joyce Jasenec, last year's Home- coming Queen. Linda was presented a beautiful bouquet of flowers and awarded a trophy. To really make the day complete, the Brilliant Blue Devils defeated Wayne breaking their undefeated record. To highlight the entire festivity, a dance was held at Memorial High School Gym that evening. At the dance everyone danced to the won- derful music of the Mosts . As a climax to the dance, Linda was once again crowned by Joyce Jasenec. The court started the royal dance and everyone else joined in. All this, added up to a won- derful time that will be in everyone's memory for a long time. May Queen Linda reign joyously till next year's breath-taking ceremony. The Court congratulates the Queen.

A xi' R 3 X , Busketbanz Spectators' Paradise A Come From behind team that displayed great Poise and Courage By Wayne Bell, Sports Editor The mercury inside of the thermometer is trying to cuddle itself cozily in the bulb at the bottom. The ground is blanketed with snow. The wind cuts icily at unprotected skin. It is a wonderful evening to spend home by the fire with a good book, a bowl of popcorn, and a handful of apples. Yet, we see few smoking chimneys, and few lights burning in the scattered homes of Brilliant, Ohio. Why? Let's go over to the gym at Brilliant High. Hoarse shouting and excited stomping can be heard even while we try to locate a parking space. As we walk along the icy path to the gym, we hear the splat-splat-splat of inflated cowhide on hardwood. It's a real symphony to our ears . . . like the opening kick-off roarg like the chock-chock of running spikes on cinders. We go to the gym door. A nice looking, husky fellow in a letterman's sweater opens up, beckons us inside, and closes the door gingerly behind us. Brrr-rrr, he says, slightly chilly out, what? Good night to have stayed home. Yeah, we chorus, wondering suddenly whatever had brought us out on such a night . . . yet, knowing exactly what it was. I'm just kiddin , the boy grins. I wou1dn't have missed this game for anything. Nor would any of the people in Brilliant. ' ' Big game? we ask. They're all big games. he says. Weill don't see any vacant seats, but maybe you can find some place to squeeze in. Better get here early next time. The gym is packed .... really packed. What is there about this game that, played even in the uncomfortable dead of winter, attracts more participants and followers than any other sport in the world? Basketball is a sport custom-made to American demands for expressing skill, speed, endurance, and team co-opera- tion. Whereas all other major sports are borrowed directly or copied in part from various foreign games, basketball is the one major sport that is of purely American origin. A fairly strenuous game from the beginning in 1892, basketball has steadily been speeded up by such factors as the Ten-Second Rule, the elimination of the Center Jumps after each goal, and more recently, by unlimited substitution.

J I23 Wihfef, in all its awesome beauty, adds luster to an already As a spectator sport, it is unsurpassed for sheer ex- citing thrills. its action is confined to an area small enough so that no one misses any part of it because of distance or field obstacles. Its rules are simple enough for all to understand. Its participants . . . in greater or lesser degree . . . in- clude practically every youth. Requiring a minimum amount of inexpensive equipment, readily adapatable to back yard play, basketball enjoys universal popularity. Rare, indeed, is the American garage or barn that hasn't at one time or another had a hoop hanging someplace upon it. The basketball court is unexcelled as a proving ground for American Youth. Within its striped botmda- ries lies the battlefield upon which physical skill, men- tal alertness and moral development are fought for . . . and won. Upon this common battleground, the heroes com- bat the many antagonists - both real and imaginary . . . that best the path of well-balanced growth. This is the struggle for all worth while things in life. And, indeed, it was a struggle for our gallant Blue Devils throughout the long, arduous season, for the road to victory was blemished with unyielding opposition. It was an exciting year...for in more games than we care to remember--our team had to come from be- hind to achieve ultimate victory: victory which was won through sheer determination, poise and courage, abounded by the Will to Win. Having a high score at the final gun is but a small part of the victory. In es- sence, the battle has just begun. A long weekend for the student body. I24 f , We Q ' as l s r- ', i,.a, 2.

A team, is a team, is a team, is a team,--but without the correlated efforts of its re- spective members, a team is not a team. Each individual player contributed his overall tal- ents to the success of this venture: Bob Norris was a constant thorn with his ability to di- agnose plays and help break up offense, along with his sharp eye for outside shooting. Bob Gibbs, for his overall playmaking ability, his alert, quick, assists to the big men under the basket. Bruce Graham, who was constantly an infectious surge for point making from the High Post , enhanced by his beautiful backhanded layup shots along with his power for snatching rebounds. Pete Adrian, a fighter, a scrapper, unparallelled, whom we all mar- velled at his magnificent soft jump shot, his overall courage and clutch play was undoubted- ly a main ingredient in our team's ability to win. Rich Lewis, a fast, illusive ball handler, with quick reflexes coupled with his keen ability to make points when the pressure was on. Charles Bailey, a versatile ball player whose steals have earned him the admiration of his teammates and the disgust of his foesg parallelled with his unusual one hand push shot. Frank Noble, a tall wiry, aggressive, player whose main strength was rebounding, Invariably, be- fore Frank left the game he had sunk at least 3 or 4 field goals. These young athletes, with their perfected skills and passion for basketball, have created a stamina of excitement that will be added to the collection of the Blue Devil fans' treasured memories.

We do not recall when we have met so colorful a character as Mr. Yaksich. His antics are something to behold. His moods of frustration, elation, gloom, and hilarity are all wrapped up in his nervous excitement of winning--but winning with good sportsmanship and hard, dedicated play.

Q5 1 Jake's Gang - Alumni Soundly Spanked One of the most awaited events of the year was the Booster's Club basketball game which was played on November 19. Much excitement spread through B.H.S. as gametime neared. Practice sessions were held during the evenings, noon hour, and study halls. The seniors were expertly coached by Mr. William Olsavsky. They are popularly known as J ake's Gang . lake was ably assisted by Ricci Kessler. The women faculty were coached by Mr.RudyYaksich. The team consisted of several of the teachers, their constit- uents, and Jane Graham. The alumni, coached by Mr. Roy Nichols, came onto the basketball court ready to rip the world apart. These young men were once more reminded of the many memories of the games they once played at their ole alma mater. The coaches team consisted of various coaches throughout the Ohio Valley. It was rather amusing to see these coaches with their bulging bay windows trying to keep up with the younger more streamlined Brilliant alumni. These games were victories for the teachers and heartbreakers for the seniors and alumni. The participants wish to thank these coaches for their time in taping, coaching, and genuine concern for the safety of their players Qwhich was very sweet j. Most played with bruises, sprains, and blisters: but, wouldn't you just know, that Mr. Yaksich came that way! 1 fifi LJ N I33 Senior Co-Captain, DONNA VADAS Senior- -JUDY CARPENTER 1 .. .. wx f 1' 'i me 55? ,. 250,-5 5 Q..

The camradarie is superlative. The tears in the eyes of a defeated 100-pounder are just as real as those glisten- ing through the downcast brow of a 200-pounder. Every wrestler is greeted by his fellow gladiators as he returns from the scuffed up mat with genuine consideration .... congratulations if he has won .... consideration if he has lost. A wrestler must be strong, agile, and in perfect condition. Every muscle in his body receives some ex- ertion at one time or another. This makes wrestling one of the most healthful sports, but it also demands skill and intelligence. That is why, in most cases, the superior skilled wrestler wins out over his opponent, even though his foe might be larger and stronger. The training and conditioning that a wrestler must compel with are severe. The training is intense and is only interpreted through deep concentration. Before a wrestler can anticipate in thorough training, he must de- velop his body into perfected condition. Conditioningis acquired through strenuous exercising and a strict diet which will wear a wrestler into a frazzle. The biggest battle is the scales. Usually the night before the match, you can readily imagine a wrestler going to bed wearing his sweat shirt along with a pair of pajamas. Many wrestlers will go several days with only tea, poached eggs, and toast, as their basic diet, in order to meet the scales. In the realm of sports, wrestling will always hold a prominent place because of its combative elements which are rooted in the nature of man. This new breed of athletes, are making their pres- ence felt in the Ohio Valley . . . unsung, unwatched, and unappreciated until a few brief years ago.

Track cmd Field Becoming cr Mecca By Bell Even though track and field has kept its popularity dominated to our Western seaboard, it is starting to be- come recognized as a future scholastic spectacle throughout the United States. Even more recently it has made its presence known in the Ohio Valley. One of the foremost reasons for its recent upsurge in the mid-Atlantic and Eastern states has been the internationally publicized Olympic gameg par- ticularly the heated rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union. Our late, beloved president, John F. Kennedy, and our present administration have urged physical fitness to the youth throughout the United States. Field and track would be but another outlet for a growing compul- sion to release an over-abundance of physical dexterity. In track and field, mind over matter is as necessary an ingredient for success as much as water is to swim- rningg many times a small, slender, and unimpressive body has outdistanced and outlasted the brawniest and most muscular of men. It must be remembered, over half of the success of the endeavor is won in the re- cesses of the mind--track and field is a superlative example. I nose I can do it this time Coach!

I Baseball 1965 A Power Sport Strategy has become such an important part of base- ball, that victory is frequently accredited to asingle de- cision in tactics. As baseball in the United States de- veloped into a highly specialized sport, managers and players have evoked a basic strategy. To the uninitiated spectator, the skill underlying the execution of a super- lative play is not always apparent, Although, spectators are seldom able to interpret signals, the tempo of the game enables the fans to see every phase of action, as it unfolds before their eyes: in a wide, panoramic view--dramatically portrayed by its players. This accounts for the great popularity with which baseball is received by its followers. For more than a century, young and old alike, have enjoyed playing and watching this extravaganza. From early spring until late autumn, players and fans thrill to the umpires cry of play ball. From crude sandlots to superbly-maintained big league diamonds, baseball is QCon't. on p. 1475 I44 for In I RJ li fi l -1 2 F 1 s as ,. 52: ik 1 Come on you guys, don't you wanna play ball?

VERHOVEC l90 1 rknntnlehgments May, 1966 Brilliant Memorial High School Brilliant, Ohio Bear EQBEIDPYFI We would like to thank our newly appointed district superintendent, Mr. Fred Long, for the time he spent inrelating to us his philosophies and ideas on school life and his hopes and proposals for the future of our newly organized district. Equally, we would like to express thanks to the Board of Education for taking time out of a busy meeting to allow necessary time for the Omega Staff in completing its work. Also, we would like to show deep respect and appreciation to Mr. I ack C. Berryhill, our amiable principal, for his thoughtful consideration, in the many announcements made concerning the advancement of the daily Omegan routines. We would also like to express a note of sincere appreciation to the entire learned faculty for its extreme patience and understanding in the many interruptions to their classes, caused by the staff which was a necessary hindrance. We particularly want to thank Mr. Andrew Suranovich for his advice and counsel on many factors dealing with the overall composition of the Omegag and Mrs. Sonja Armstrong for her many trips to the photographer's studio and bringing back to the staff a countless number of pic- tures which we needed to complete our work: and finally, in deep appreciation to Miss Betty Brettell for her constant care and concern about the financial matters of our endeavor.
