THE SPECTATOR 19 30 Q -. ■” P Class History) Septeml cr ( , 192(i, twenty-nine green Freshmen entered Brimfield High School. All went well for two weeks, then we had our first class meeting which was to organise the class. The following officers were elected: Eileen Kelly, President; Lucille Bane, Vice-President; Alice Tullv, Secretary; Huth Harding, Treasurer; Miss Mathews our Class Advisor. On December 28 we entertained the High School with a Christmas Party, before which we had drawn names and bought presents. Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus came and distributed presents and candy to everyone. When Sophomores we elected the following officers: Lucille Bane, President; Edmund Lottman, Vice-President; Louise Coon, Secretary and Treasurer; Miss Valentine our Class Advisor. Our main social event for this year was an Initiation Party in honor of the Freshmen. As we rolled along into our Junior year, hoping to become Seniors the next year, we elected the following officers: Alice Tullv, President; Edmund Lottman, Vice-President; Irene Bruninga, Secretary and Treasurer; Mr. Schneider was selected as our advisor. Our two important events for this year were: The Junior Play, “Making Daddy Behave”, and “The Junior-Scnior Reception.” The second week in September, 29, we came hack to school, twenty-two very dignified Seniors. At our first class meeting of this year we elected the following officers: Frank ( lark. President; Edmund Lottman, Vice-President; Charles Hayes, Secretary; William Corn-well, Treasurer. Mr. Schneider being our Advisor again. At our second class meeting we talked of putting out a Spectator. We finally decided that we would put it out ourselves without the help of the Junior Class which had been done in the previous years. Although we lost several Classmates, others have come in so that our class is almost as large as when we entered Brimfield High School. We hope that throughout our life we have just as much success as we have had in four years of high school life.
