E.K.3. $ 1935 HISTORY In September 1931, twenty-one freshmen entered Brimfield High School. Jfany of us, on that memorable day, looked about in awkwared silence, but after we had survived the first few hours, the strangeness wore off and we found ourselves settled in school routine. Early in the fall we wore initiated at a party, given by the Sophomore class and at Christmas, we, in turn, entertained with an all school party. In our Sophomore year our number had diminished to sixteen. We enjoyed several parties during the year, but as a whole, this year was less eventful than the previous one The next year as Juniors, we presented our class play The Little Clodhopper , which was enjoyed by a largo audience and thoroughly established our reputation as actors. Following the production of the play we made .arrangements for the Junior-Senior reception. The greatest accomplishment of our Senior year was the publication of the Spectator. Although the Spectator had been published before, this was the first year that the entire book was edited and printed by members of the school. To our High School superintendent, lor. Nichols, we owe much credit for his tireless effort and efficiency toward making this annual overwhelmingly successful. .7e gave our Senior play, Chintz Cottage early in May, and it was followed by the Junior-Senior reception, which was one of the outstanding events of our High School activities. Although our year ha. nearly ended it it is our earnest wish that this class of 1935, through deeds commendable, will forever live in the history of Erimfield High School. Class Will Wo, the most illustrious class of 1935, being about to leave this sphere of learning, in full possession of a sound mind, well-tr.ained memory. nine

In testimony whereof, we have here unto fixed our hand and seal this first day of May, 1935. • Signed) Senior Class By Barbara Johnson Testa, tor • Class Prophecy My study was illuminated by the flickering glow of the fireplace. The wind was howling down the chimney and a round the corner of the house. A mist appeared around the keyhole gradually shaping into a shrouded ghostly figure. It moved across the room with a tread a3 slow and steady as the monotonous ticking of the clock and took possession of the darkest corner of the room. A period of silence elapsed in which I grow cxcoodingly nervous. At last my visitor spoke in a voice solemn and deep. ’There are you classmates of Yesterday?1' My mind goes back to the day I spent at the famous horse race, the Kentucky Derby. I saw Coe Miller ride Honeybunch to the tape as the winner. He has won world fame as a winning Jockey. I have visited frequently my classmate Raymond Gessell, President of the Gcss.-ll Electrical Corporation, world famous for efficiency and quality of its electrical goods. Vern Catton, the head coach of Northwestern University, is a very successful instructor of the sports of this school, coaching now the future state champi ons. Next week will bo held the championship bout between Slugger Bill Duffy and Casey O’Mulligan. elevcn
