I have ny history assignment finished, so I think I shall climb those stairs. Ah! Now, I an nearing to top. I have roachod it! How utterly beautiful! This is the loveliest littlo valley I have ovc seen. Thero seems to bo some activity down thore. Perhaps this sign will tell no. It reads: B. H. S. Dudo Ranch,” - Home-coming--Clnss of 1941. This certainly sounds interest ing! Perhaps I shall soo some of ny former classmates. The foruman is coning to meet me. 7 hy, it can't bo—but it is— Dorothy Cox! She informs me that she is managing the ranch with the aid cf Virgil Collins who gives riding lessens to the guests and manages her affairs. Virgil is also a rodoo sta and ho hao become world famous. Dorothy tells mo cf the homc-coning and takes mo to a group of guests who hav6 already arrived. I an happy to greet Rod Cahill who, I loarn, is the owner cf a group of chain department stores ond has bo-cone a multi-millionaire. Sitting quietly admiring the scenery, is Romona McDonough, who has been touring the country giving lectures on the care of babies. She hopes to cbtain A sono valuable information by observing the cattle and calves cn the ranch. Entering the ranch gate in r broezy convertible, is Harry Ncrdwa.ll, a traveling salosman of groat talent. Following Harry, are Marianne LaFolletto and hor husband, Marianne proudly displaying her award as Anorica's porfoct housewife and tho bluo ribbon 3he won for her rocipe for Brido's Biscuits.

Miss ! ulvaney is a great singing star, and a member of the Metropolitan opera, and will soon open a show in Chicago with the leading role in the Firefly. Joining them, wc finished our tour of the corral and, after singing a chorus of Leaning cn the old Top Rail, m we went back tc the ranch-house. There we found a now-famous brain-specialist, Dcnald Bridson whose groat talent cade us feel rather uneasy and inferior. However, his disarming manner reassured us, and we accompanied him inside to greet Betty Donaldson and llaxine Searle. Betty, we loarnod to cur complete satisfaction is a brilliant mathematics teacher in the fameus University of Southern California. Of course, wo couldn' possibly forget Maxine, He read her column, Advice tc the Lovelorn, every cey in the Chicago Tribune and many of us have rend her bock on social etiquette. Wo were also glad to see Yvonne Hargreaves, a missionary to China, 'who has returned fer a short tine to America tc gather data for her work. Aroused by the sound of yodeling, we were surprised tc see Janes Geitner approaching the ranch-house. Janes proudly told us of his travels in Europe and his position es a mountain-guide in Switzerland. He also stated that mountains were much easier to handle than sene of the horses on the ranch. Among the outbursts of laughter at Janes's story, we heard a familiar giggle, and turned to find Gertrude Wagner. She has been acting as a model for advertisements of bubble r D -t gun and her charming snilo groco3 billboards all ever America. Behind her wore Emma Tffhite and Doan Shane who work together ■ in Hollywood as a hair stylists and mako-up artist ro3pectiv-j-l ally. There was also a hint that their partnership is not J J entirely professionally. X, yj Aftor greeting Dean and Etna, Dorothy nr.de the announcement that after tho arrival of two inportant guests, T wo could attond a dance in the ranch-houso. Hearing a di3-Hity' tont and then nearer rear, we rushed out to find a beautify ful tri-notorod plane landing near tho corral. Alighting fron the piano was the Prosidont of tho Unitod States, our own Charles PrattJ After joyous congratulations, Charlo3 presentod tho first lady, Holcn Rcichnoker. Y7e were astonished beyond words! As you probably realize tho pair are the center of attraction everywhere they go. ■ They ontored the ranch-house with us to attend tho dance. There, we found Harold Pacey and his orchestra. Harold plays tho trombone, and i3 taking the place of tho ono-timo Tom y Dorsey. ,'fter we had doncod for sometino, j. Harcld introduced Eloise Savage and Clark Edwards, America's i-AJfc 1 Jitterbug team. Y u had hoard cf their marvelous f Vf orfernancos and learned that they were making persr«al - appearances throughout the Unitod States and wore winning — acclaim by all witnossos. They performed for us and we applauded loudly. Aftor sovcral encores, tho applause had a ringing sound. It became louder! Gracious! It's tho bell ringing for class, and I'm right hero in . the study hall whore I've boon all the time. -Sbfiv HK — ■ W -• V J W . J W tl W M mm .=■� •� SONG TITLES Sme thc rt . f Si'-rv.

S, After soveral stampedes, they were brought in during the roundup r.nd branded by the B. H. S. cowboys. Wien turned loose for the second time, they let Jc Ann Kingdcn, Mavis Quolland, Harold Beeney, Lourdes 77agner be their leaders. At thu close of '3C they stampeded with the entire herd and celebrated the Christmas holidays. ry At the beginning of their socond year at the B. H. S. R nch, Gerald Cluskey, Je -n Marie Sloan, and Phyllis Rook wore chosen as new leaders. Fhil checking over their list, they found that almost ton of their numbers had either strayed into the Bad Lands or wero rustled. They helped tho cowboys check a. new herd, and during tho roundup initiated them in the corral. The third year in B. H. S. is al3o proving successful Iwith Jean Mrrie Sloan, Phyllis Rock, and Keith Arnold lead- .ing. This frisky group of dogies are proud of their accomplishments. Thoy presented pJry, gave r banquet for the honorary cowhands, and are new locking into the futuro when they will be the most important herd cn the B. H.

T. H. S. corral. They were very unfamiliar with the old ranch and had a great deal of trouble for the first pL War m few days. As Marietta Edwards had been their leader on th , v, plains, they again followed her example, and only jumped over the corral gate when she did. Their other leaders were Rolland Catton and Ruth Crrson who helped a great deal W A I in the celebration of their first Christmas at the ranch. vxc';-' When the time had come for the second fall round-up, these wild bronchos had tamed considerably with age. Their leaders chosen were Jack Davis, Bob Doubet, and Rolland Catton who managed the initiation procedures perfectly. With the beginning of tameness, they now have a different outlook on life and recognize their superiors as real foremen, capable of guiding them onward.

This group proved their ability to handle situations by their good spirit during their initiation. The leaders of this group are fo[f) Robert Reinhart, Charles Wyman and Beverly Christian. Wit’ the aid of these skilled ranch-hands, they gave a Christmas Party on the ranch and established a reputation for being fir3t-class managers. Their foremen were Miss Mauck and Miss Hill. After they have grown a few inches more, these buck-aroos will be welcomed into the bunk-house. There, they will continue their noble spirit and good work which will delight our foremen.

Miss Tracy and Mr. Carr were seleoted as guides for our first roundup. Earlene Reinhart was chosen as foreman, and two hands were Betty Carson and Clarence I.uthy. They met with the Sophomore Indians and just about got scalped at the Initiation Party. They had a big pow-wow with tho Indians at the Christmas Party and all was forgiven. The little dogies had grown to ree.vh the height of becoming Sophomores. On their second roundup several cf their little dogies strayed away, but new ones came to take their places. It was their turn to rope the Freshmen steers and to put the brand of B. H. S. on thchn at the Initiation Party, To keep peace between the Indians and cowboys Gocrgo Edwards was appointed as the sheriff with Earlene Reinhart and Eileen Mulvaney as deputies. The Freshmen dudo!: ranch returned the party with a big Christmas jamboree. The third roundup found still more dogies missing. ’’Someone must be rustling tho cattle I But they managed to corail tho Seniors and herd them to the College Cupboard' for the annual banquet. The Ranch house was filled to capacity the night that Miss Jimmoy W 3 presented beforo all the cowhands and neighboring ranchers of Brimfiold. George Edwards was rolectod as shoriff with Earlene Reinhart and Robert Dungnn as doputies. A now foreman was hired for the last year. It was Swiss Iuthy.

From the glowing flames of the fireplace, a vision rises. Yos, I can seo it plainly now. Many young red-skinned riders, dressed in tan skin garments, are racing across tho wcstorn plains on swift, slendor ponios. But what is that in tho cloud of dust before them? As it draws to an abrupt stop, and tho dust settlos, wo see several covered wagons. Wait! The chief is tolling his young men to tako tho supplies from tho rear wagon. Tho wagons again go on thoir way, but rather short of 8upolies, I'm afraid. What are they doing now? Is my fire going out? No, what has happoned? It can't be, but it is. Yos, a thoatorX T whose occupants aro our same friends of tho West. Why, look! Thero in tho balcony is one of tho young mon with a friend. The couple aro dressed exactly as John and I dress, Thuy seem to got quite a thrill from Gablo's latest lovo scene, Let's follow thorn outside tho theator. Ah, now I seo that this really is a largo Indian Reservation, but look at that couplo! Can this really be their red convertable Buick? Yes, it is and thoy are heading straight for the coke fountain. Oh, now they have faded away as mother is calling us. A3 I amble slowly toward tho kitchen, thinking over my previous vision, I stumble. I look, to behold my Literature book of Brimfiold High, and an understanding como3 into my mind. Why Brimfield High has changed just as the Indian lad. It has changod from a small upstairs department with a small enrollment to a largo building modornistic in every detail, with a capacity enrollment. There is no doubt about it. Our school represents the modorn Indian of Brimfield. What will happen in jf the future as The Indian Marches On ? • ■ • ■ • •+ THE OLE STOREKEEPER The other day while we were riding around the country in our car, we cane upon an old cross-roads store. Having never been in one, we docided to go in and look around T s As we entorod we saw through the piles of groceries, KavQr ware and harness, some noat little paths enabling eacfcr one to go nearly nnywhoro in the store. Near the roar of the store, there was a large pot-bellied stove, a half dozen chairs (woll worn) and ono lonely old man. Wo walked up to him and wo could soo that he was ready to, talk to anyone that should happen along. Being in a talkative mood ourselves, wo a3ked a few questions jut to got the ball to rolling. After the preliminaries, really started in earnest. Woll, I may not know my English so well, and I'm no great scientist, but I do know the price of peaa, potatoes, and pears sinco 1890. If you boys arc not in a hurry, I'd like to talk to you as none of my old cronies come around anymore, they're eithor doad or dyin’. I vory quickly said, We'd be glad to, Wo'vo never seen anything like this before. This seemed to mako an improssion on the old man and I noticed his chest pop out a little. When I was about your ago, I was deliverin' groceries in a store in the town that used to bo hore.ltf -this town, there was a man about fifty-fivo years old — who workod at the store every Saturday. Ho was just like I am now, in the store over half of the day. Ho was always eatin' and tollin’ talcs to me and another young feller who was there most of the time. I didn'i mind his eatin' because ho always talked to us and wo likod to hear him tell stories. One day he was walkin'-back of the counter and thero were some old hens a-talkin' about when their birthdays wore and a-lyin' about thoir agos. Ho said, 'Whon I say the word, start singin' 'Happy Birthday to you.' Vo started singin' ' '1 and I'll be durned if those old battlo-axos didn't leave and never came back. 9 Ho then wont on with other stories, but I can't remember all of thorn; novortheless wo did enjoy our visit with the old storekeeper. GREY EAGLE D j6nc sunny dry Chief Running Water and his squaw, Minnie H i Cha, thought it was nbout time their boy should have n n mi. They told him to go for a walk in tho woods and w fch closely everything he srw. The thing that interosted him-most would bo chosen for his namo. , 7 C 'yTho Indian boy started walking through tho woods which wore rull of rabbits and all other kind of boosts and birds. They wore running or flying about him. This did cHfjboera to interest him because he had played with thorn all his life. He walked up the mountain until he saw three boar- cubs eating honey. Ho sat and watchod them for a but since he didn't like tho name boar , ho con- j£ fuod his walk up tho mountain sido. He kept walking until ho cone to a river where he sat down to rest and to think. He was nbout to walk on when he noticed a largo wk,flying toward him. He decided that he would stay t discovcr what kind of a bird it was. It provod to be a big groy eagle. The eagle flew low over the river and tried to crtch fish. After the first few times, the fish weA lfrightened awry. So the eagle flew up the mountain nest on a. crpg. The Iedinn boy said to himself: Thi3 is tho most interesting thing I hrvo seen. Jdy name shall be Grey Eagle, a symbol of nighty strength. THE THREE VICES r, D A Fronch prison, Evon Dovil's Island, can tench a man many things if he wishes to lonrn. It taught Joan Hanchctt that only throe things arc the cnuse of all trouble in in this world. What are they? fear, hato, and greed— X, the threo vices. Jean resolved that if ever he got the chance, ho would raise somo poor, unfortunate child to nover know these vaces. His chance carco with Ninette, a charming little street-beggar of Paris. Until Ninette was twenty, she had never came in contact with any of the vices. They livod in the mountains rlonc. The villagers said that Jean was a miser and Ninetto n witch, but that did not bother them, and they woro happy. Then—the guns I The Second World War! Father!” Ninette criod. What docs it mean? Nothing, my child, answered the now elderly Jean. You need not worry. Then the soldiers came. They bur� t open the cottago doer; tore old Jean from his bod; questioned him savagely. Then they shot him! Yes! Shot him as a spy! Y hy? Because of their greed to kill! Ninotto cowered in a corner with fear gripping her heart. A rculd soldier, short of stature and swarthy of face dragged her to her feet. Then Ninetto knew hate for the first timo. ’ There's the old nan's money? he growled. Mcnoy! Wo have no money. Only a few sous in that drawer. The soldier got then. Ten sous! He throw their meager savings to the floor in disgust. Where's the rest of it? The rest of what? Ninot-c trembled. Tho horde tho eld convict has hidden away! He’s not a convict, defied Ninette, anc1 ho doesn't have any money hidden anyvhorei Quito a spitfiro, ain't. she? bawled the scldier. That's going tc cost you a kiss, ray pretty alien. He 3oizod her ruddy. She struggled. Groed made the cor.rsc fellow persist until Ninette scronncds Take you dirty hands off that girl! Th_ speakor was a young Goman officer, a straight and ta.il mar.. Who says sc? ’ I did! ' Tho voice was imperative. Captain Gros-bcck to you! I beg your pardon, Captain. Get out all of you: Don't tako a thing from this house. Anyone whe docs will answer to no. Ninctxc was sobbing almost hysterically. This was her first taste of tho three vices. Thank you—they— they've killed father—and—he—ho—was trying to—. Grcsbock comforted her -s a brother would a younger sister. Yes, I know. I'm sorry I couldn't prevent it all. His voice was soft and Ninotte marveled at this being tho snno nan as a moment before. Hero is some of the money, ho continued. It's entugh to got you to America. I h vc relatives there who will help you. Fear, hato, and greed, Ninotte murmured. 7hat did you say? Father taught me to hovo neither fear, hate, nor greed. Ho said they wero the cause of all the trouble in this world. He was right, repliod tho young soldier. Ninette smiled and. wondered hew this German officer could agree. Then sho understood. A nan in n Nazi uniform need not ha.vo a hard heart. He cannot prevent what is forced upon hire to do. J Some dry when the world has learned lcvc in place cf the three vices, we shall bo rid of all the trouble. 0 ‘is-'O IF If you've never made another Have a happier tine in life; If you've never helped a brother Through his struggle and his strife; If you've never been a comfort To the weary and the v orn— Will you tell me what your here for In this lovely land of morn?

Always along the paths you fare, Your eyes will soon detect A few whose rays you cannot share And keep your self-respect. A painful tost will come to you Before the Journey's end, Whon one you've known and liked will do What you should not befriend. So scorn all things of shame and spite. Be honest and be just; Hold fast to what you think is right, And make what foes you must. WHEN I WAS BUT A LITTLE BOY by Wiladine Streitmatter When I was but a little boy My father said to me; My son, be always honest. And truthful as can be. Don't speak harsh of your neighbors, Their friends, or anyone, Then I can look upon you And be proud that you are ray son. Don't play c rds or gamble Or your mother's heart will dirk, And you'll lose the honost dollar That you've gained by honest work. Don't play upon the races, The horse you think night win May fall upon the raco track Or be the list cne in. WHEN I WAS BUT A LITTLE BOY (continued) Don't drink of fiery liquor Or bathe ycursolf in sin. The gates of heaven will bar you, And the devil will take you in. If you will hood these words From dawn 'till setting sun, Then I can look upon you And be proud that you are my son. THE MEANING OF OUR FLAG by Oma Lr.Folotte Oh! the beautiful American flag Floating in the breeze Tells a message to all Of a wonderful land of the free. The glorious red, white, and blue Waves from a lofty height Proclaims to all today Of liberty, freedom, and right. The stars and stripes forever Afloat in its lofty height Is a symbol to all Of safety and peach to right. SUNSET by One LaFollotto The beautiful winter sunset Sinks with a ruddy glow Like an Ancient painter's sunset Which he sketched long, long agof We see again the same sunset As the artist of long ago While we sit at another window Staring across the wintry snow. B. H. S. INDIANS Thore arc Indians in Brimfield High. Where? In the Gym. Can't you hoar them yell? It sounds as if the Conanchos wero on the war path. Oh! Who are they massacring? Hurry! Let's go soe. Lock! I soe what has happened. It is a stocking-footod rccroationalist who has just had a too steppod upon by a follow player, who wasn't too lazy to put on a pair of tennis shoos. Tho owner of the misfortunnte toe is just now putting all of his vin and vigor into a very oncr-gotic war danco. Strange as tho procedure may seen, it scons to bo a very soothing tonic for tho misfortunate too. Tho dancer is now losing seno of his former energy, but tho danco is still vory interesting. Havo we time to learn it? No, there i3 tho warning boll. So, come, wc must hurry and leave bofore we are caught in tho rush of tho yolling, stamping Indians that will also loave hore in a few minutes. —Qua LaFollotto— 7ffiSTERN CAMPFIRES A western campfire on a dudo ranch in tho evoning is one of tho most satisfying troats. Aftor a hard day of keeping your balance on a galloping horso, and hiking mountain trails since tho first light of dawn, nothing can give you more pleasure than to sit noar a glowing campfire, if sitting is possible. Forhaps there will be some harmonizing on wostorn songs, then as you grow quiet, you hear the distant call of a harmless coyotto, and nearly tho constant chewing of the weary horses. Even tho faint odor of bacon and fragrant coffoo, that constitutes supper, is a part of tho wostorn scone, as you watch tho dying sunset and tho lengthening misty purple shadows.

BRIL'FIELD vs. VICTORIA r i D 7 r The Brimfield team started off the season in fine style by winning from Victoria in a close game of 29 to 22. The Brimfield team got a 7 to 2 lead in the first quarter and held a good lead throughout the game. Collins led the Brimfield team with 13 points and Welsh brought up his end of the game with 9 points. The second team won their game easily with a 28 to 0 victory. BRIMFIELD vs. PRINCEVILLE The second game of the Brimfield boys’ career took place at Princeville where they came out on the short end with a 9 to 11 decision. Collins again led the home team with 6 points and Reinh-rt helped with 2 points and Shaffer 1 point. The game was very close ell the way through it and Brimfield was found trying very hard to tie the score in the last few soconds, but wore unable to do so. The second team, however, won another game by a margin—16 to 12. BftlKFIELD vs. YATES CITY The third game that we played was with Yates City, who suppliod us with many thrills. Although Brimfiold led the game at all times, they v ere kept busy enough. The final score was 34 to 26. Tho socond team continued their march by a victory with 35 to 14. BRIMFIELD vs. EAST PEORIA The game with East Peoria is probably one of the roughest games that the boys have played because East Peoria had just finished football and woro throwing some very nice blocks. The only thing that beat Brimfield was their superior height under the basket. Collins led the homo team with a 9 point lead and Welsh and McDonough each had 7 points. The final score was 27 to 30. The socond team was stopped with n score of 30 to 18. BRIMFIELD vs. CORPUS CHRISTI J Tho game with Corpus Chri3ti again proved to be a game of height under the basket wins, so Brimfiold was stopped with a 33 to 23 count. Welsh and Collins lod 0s n 0 the home team with 10 and 8 points respectively. The second team won a very exciting game with Johnson waving that left hand to 8 points while Cahill and Cluskey helped with 6 points each. The game with Dunlap was probably one of the hardest fought games during the season. It was very close through- out and neither team scored anything during tho first quarter. At the half, the score wa3 3 to 2 in Dunlap's favor. The third and fourth quarters v cre a littie faster. The end saw each team in the lead several times. In the last hclf-minutc Dunlap by a field goal. Welsh and Pullen or.ch had 9 points and Collins and Shaffer helped tho home team with a free throw and a field goal. The final score was 13 to 12 in their favor. The second team won a woll-plnyod game with a 19 to 8 victory. west of horo. Our boys won a victory over Elmwood—51 to Id;--- Tho gamo was hard fought and at tho end of tho first quarter Brimfiold lod by a scant 2 points. Then someono did a little pushing and several of the Elmwood players loft tho game on fouls. Welsh led tho homo torm with 15 points and all tho r st of the team helped out in some way. The second team lo3t a 30 to 17 decision. On tho 19th of December, 1940, Brimfiold journeyed to Princoville for the first gamo of tho Princevillo tournament. Our first gamo was with our old rival—Elmwood who had learned a lesson and gave the team a much closer fight with tho final score 26 to 22 in favor of our Brdmfield lads. The game was close throughout the game ajid the final boll stopped the Elmwood drives toward victory. The second gamo of this tournament found Brimfiold's teams unablo to hit the basket. It wa.s a game of height of which Brimfiold had vory little. The boys fought vory BRIMFIELD vs. DUNLAP Brimfiold was ahead by 1 point, but Hnrkcr won the gamo for BRIMFIELD vs. ELMWOOD The next scheduled gamo was held in a small PRINCEVILLE TOURNAMENT BRIMFIELD vs. ELI WOOD BRIMFIELD vs. DUNLAP O n D T H hard, but as the final gun was sounded, found them down by a 21 to 10 count. BRIMFIELD vs GLASFORD The last garoo of the Prineeville tournament started out by Payno of Glasford sending four long shots from the center of the floor and each time Brimfield went down and scored. This went on until the half when the score was 16-18 in favor of Glasford in the third quarter Glasford wont ahead and wore able to stave off a fourth quarter ralley otrged by Brimfiold. Welsh and Collins rolled up 13 and 7 points respectively to bo high point men. The score was 32 to 26 in favor of Glasford. BRIMFIELD vs ALUMNI Our next game was with the Alumni whore they took us 44 to 31. With Rogers and Cady under the basket and Luthy and Day playing forwards, they didn't give tho school team much of an opportunity to score. Tho second team also lost. BRIMFIELD vs GLASFORD We journeyed to Glasford to revenge tho PrinceVille third place trophy which we didn't got. We were successful in this gome by winning with a 31 22 count. The first half found us unable to get accustomed to their floor and baskets, but as the third period whistle blew, Brimfield started to roll up the score and eased into a well playod victory. The soconds won a very thrilling game. BRIMFIELD vs ELMWOOD For the third time this year, tho Brimfiol boys sent their old rival Elmwood home like a whipped dog. Tho game was never very close and the Brimfield team coasted to a very oasy victory with Welsh, Reinhart, and Collins reaching up 32 points together. The second team won a tremendous victory over the Elmwood seconds. I BRIMFIELD vs PRINCEVILLE Our next conferonco game wa.s with Princoville who had previously beaten us by a score of 11 to 9. The team camo on the floor with a fighting spirit and con- 0 tinued fighting until the final gun which sounded the victory for Brimfield. BRIMFIELD V3 YATES CITY The next game of the Brimfield boys' career was a victory. The game started out to be a real rough and tumble game and by the half, one would have taken it for a football game. The battle was very close up to the end of the third quarter when the boys got to hitting the basket and pulled the game out of the fire with a 44-23 victory. The seconds won another game too. DUNLAP TOURNAMENT BRIMFIELD vs DUNLAP The next scheduled games were to be played at the Dunlap tournament where we played Sparland the first game and won the game 48 to 23. Jack, Virgil, and and John got the most of the points for the home loam BRIMFIELD vs DUNLAP The next night, the boys returned to Dunlap to meet the host to see who got to play for first place and who was to play for third place. We mot defeat, so therefore wore to play for third placo. BRIT YIELD vs PRINCEVILLE Y7e clashed with Princeville's team the following night. Y e were without our valuable center—Virgil Collins, who hud been taken to the hospital with appendecitis. Gerald Cluskcy became out center. The boys played a good game and came home with the third trophy. W V V U M U W M U U A A n n ▼ A A A A BRIMFIELD vs CHILLICOTHE Our next game was at Chillicotho, whore wo won by the free throw that Robert Reinhart made at a crucial moment. The game was close during tho entire game. Welsh, Reinhart ar d Clu3key mado the most points. The second teem lost a close decision. J 9 A BRIMFIELD vs DUNLAP r� D 7 h! The next and probably our most thrilling game of the yecr uas an ovortir.e game won by the Brimfield lads. The score v p.s tied at the finish of tho game and went into an over-tine. As the overtime was nearly finished, Allen of Dunlap fouled Bob Reinhart which won tho game for us in the last few seconds of the game. This is the socond tine that Bob has pulled the toam through the crucial moment. The socond game was ten by a 26-20 count. BRi; FIELD vs GLASFORD Our next game was probably one of the hardest lost gamos of the conference for it put us down in the conference with throo losses. The game was close all through-out tho game, but Brimfield was unable to catch up as the final gun sounded. BRI! FIELD vs CHILLICCTHE Brimfield then met Chillicothe in a close game, but wero unable to hit the basket. The points were scattered among elsh, Reinhart, Cluskey, and McDonough, while Glasford of Chilli piled up 12 points. The second team won their game with a 27-21 count. BRIMFIELD vs GALESBURG (Regional Tournament) The last gome of the season was played in the Regional tournament held at Galesburg. Our team played the strong Galesburg High School in the first game. The team had stage fright and the first half ended 15 to 0 in favor of Galesburg. The second half, we managed to make two baskets and 4 free throws for a total of 8 points. Galesburg scored 34 points. It just wasn’t •r night. So ended another season of basketball for Lrimfield. BRIMFIELD vs WILLIALSFIELD On Friday, February 28, the Uilliamsfield Hoopsters journeyed to Brimfield for a benefit game with the local cagers in which the proceeds were to go to help Virgil Collins recover from his prolonged illness due to complications from an appendicitis operation. The Bill-town boys were close on our heels during the game.

Occasionally, the games became very exciting. When weather conditions became too severe, the girls played volley’all in the gymnasium. It proved a very popular sport. Marching drills and folk dances were also participated in. In the spring, kitten ball v a3 resumed. In providing healthful exercises, they have also stimulated good sportsmanship and friendliness among the girls. I Activities rJ 4 4 S, INITIATION PARTY On September 20, the Freshmen were initiated and were made full-pledged students of the Brimfield High School. Not until they had shown their ability to the Sophomores were they admitted to this most distinguished institution. But this wasn't difficult, for the ambitious Freshmen had ability to dance, sing, and act. They were even capable of feeding their fellow students blindfolded. After each one had done his duty, the main event of the evening came--the new teachers were admitted to the new order, but not until they proved their abilities. Miss Cauch demonstrated how she could walk on ice barefooted without any trouble, and Mr. Donaldson and Mr. Vaughn found it rather difficult to hit each other's mouth when trying to feed each other blackened marshmallows blindfolded. It was rather difficult to tell whom they were after that. The initiation was followed by a dance which was onjoyed very much by all. The refreshments were delicious. From all indications, the class of 1944 is expected to do great things for Brimfield High School. BAND ATTENDS MUSIC FESTIVAL On the fifth of October, the Brimfield band made a trip to Peoria where they attended the Band Festival. In the morning, the band members were treated to a free movie and at noon, they wore treatod to foot-long hot dogs and ice cream. Then the bands gathered at the Armory and marched down main street (in soite of the fact it felt like the Fourth of July). After marching around tho business section, the bands gathered at the Court House Square and played in tho Mass band v ith Dick Jurgens leading them. Tho big thrill then came to Brimfield playors— tho Queen was announced and it was none other than Jo Ann Kingdcn from out own high school. J 9 MOTHERS' PARTY On the evening of December 18, the girls of the Homo Economics classes entertained their mothers, the faculty women, and the wifes of the faculty men. The evening was spent in playing hearts and a Christmas game, Prixes wore a basket of home-made candy and a colored ice-box dish of attractive candies made by the girls in the foods class. Refreshments were dainty open-faced sand iches candies, fancy cookies and punch. While the refreshments were being enjoyed, some of the chorus girls, with the assistance of Miss Lindstrom, gave a lovely musical program of Christmas songs. They were seated on the stage back of the tea table and were dressed in white robes. Red and blue lights were directed on the robed singers and the decorated serving table, Santa also paid a visit and left each mother a gift which her daughter had made. KICKAPOO LEAGUE DINNER On Monday night, February 24, seventeen of the Foods girls served a delicious two-courso dinner to the members of the Kickapoo League and their wives. Twenty-two guests were present. The table decoration theme was patriotic. Two Uncle Sam's hats were used as center pieces. Several large white candles were placed on a blue stripe which extended down the center of the table. The place cards were red stars on each of which was a tiny white candle. The tables were very pretty. The Menu consisted of stuffed surloin steak, twice-baked potatoes, Spanish green beans, Ding cherry salad, celery curls, radish rosebuds, muffins and butter, apricot and pineapple conserve, meringues with poppor-mint ice cream, coffee, and mixed nuts. After dinner, the guests went to Mr. Donaldson's home, where they spent the rest of the evening playing Pinochle. J 9 HOME ECONOMICS RALLY r, D 7 'r On Saturday, November 16, the Brimficld Homo Economics Classes played hostesses to the Horae Economics Classes from Chillicothe, Elmwood, Dunlap, Princeville, and Yates City, A pot luck lunch was served aftor a very enjoyable social hour which was in charge of the Yates City group. The Brimfiold girls in the Foods Class had propared a dessert made of pinoapple which proved vory popular. Mi3s Kirkpatrick of Peoria entertained us with a most interesting talk of Women in Other Lands.

(Taken from Astonisher) DAPROVEMENTS IN HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT Several attractive additions have been made this yoar to our department. The home management girls selected material for and made lined draperies which add a cozy air to the room. They also added some plants and a bowl of gold fish which will make the room more enjoyable. Last fall the school board surprised us with a big Westinghouso refrigerator. We think that it is vory fine and the girls in the foods class certainly find it easier when they are getting ready for a dinner. A new drying cabinet was made by the Trades department for the room and it is a grand addition. J HOME ECONOMICS BY TEACHER’S DESK—Miss Allen. FRONT TABLES!

Father Harrison showed a group of his movies in the study hall for the benefit of the older people, while Clifford Cady's orchestra played for the dance in the gym. This was the first Carnival held in the Brimfield school for several years, but as it proved successful, more will be in demand.

On being asked, she gave her permission to nine members that they might give a parody, Shakespeare Y as Y rong on the life of Julius Caesar a3 a fruit-stand owner forced to pay protection money to a gangster, Bruto Di Liaggio. When Caosar refused, Bruto's moll, Porty, lured him to the door and Bruto shot him. The only place large enough for the funeral was a dance hall. Tho play ends with tho crowd chasing Bruto from the town, Mark making love to Caesar's wife, Calpy, and the corpse protesting That ain't the way Shakospoare ended it.‘ The second semester for another project, Barbara Riggs adaptod Robin Hood into a thrce-act, 30-minute play.

GIRLS' CHORUS AT SECTIONAL The Girls' Chorus won a first place at the Sectional which was held on Saturday, May 3« This makes them elgible to go to Flint, Michigan, but due to excessive expenses, they will not participate.

MILDRED WOLF WINS A FIRST Mildred Wolf won a First Place Award at the Sectional Commercial Contest for writing her fifteen minute test with the least errors. This came as a surprise to her.

It includes trade word in brick laying, carpentry, cabinet making, concrete work, heating, painting, plaotering, plumbing, roofing, and sheet metal. However, a major portion of the time is devoted to the wood working part of the trades, since the buildings are of frame construction. There are two three-hour classes. The morning or beginning class i6 made up of Freshmen and Sophomores. The afternoon class consists of boys who have had one year of trades. They are usually Juniors or Seniors. The first project done by the boys this year was the laying of walks around Leo McKown's house, which was built last year by the trades classes. The foundation and basement side walls for a five-room house for Mildred Littlefield were ready for the completion of the house. This was the outstanding project. The interior is conploted now and Max Haye3 is living in the house. The boys are rapidly completing the outside. They started by pouring concrete floors in the basement, installing tho furnace with the helD of Mr. Huey, placing a shower in the basement and setting up a water-softening system, There is also ample room for laundry in the basement. Tho kitchen has numerous built-in Cabinets with work space. Tho other room3 are two bedrooms, a living room, dining room and bath. There is also a built-in linen close+ ir the hallway. ine boys did most of the plastering. Due to the fact that ohoy would have a room started that couldn't be left overnight, Mr, Monr si Savage was called in to help. The boys did all of the wiring and plumbing. On April 21, opon house was held and over five hundred people walked through and viev ed the house. When Mr. Vaughn attended the 111. Vocational fssoc. Meeting, he displayed pictures of the interior and exterior of the house and brought back a ribbon as an award. I i i r v V THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET OF 1941 The Junior Class sent the Seniors of 1941 on their way into the world after entertaining then at the Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance, which was held in the Brimfield High School Gynnasiun on the evening of Kay 10. The theme of the banquet was made up of South American or Spanish scenes. The centerpieces for the tables were men and women dolls dressed in Spanish costumes. The gymnasium was decorated gayly in bright colors and the sight was very impressive. Jack Turner and his orchestra furnished gay Spanish tunes during the dinner hour. Eileen Kulvaney sang and the Kingdon sisters—Chtrlene and Mary Lou-played on their guitar and accordian. Kiss Werner brought out some of her dancers from Peoria and they tap-danced, sang, and did a few other Spanish acts. The waitresses and waiters (who were dressed in Spanish outfits) were; Marietta Edwards, Betty Jane Savord, Ilene Miller, Betty Carter, Ruth Carson, Charlene Kingdon, Dorothy Donaldson, Richard Savage, John McDonough, John Kingdon, Dale Beall, Robert Doubet, Rolland Catton, and Lyle Johnson. They were supervised by Betty Tuttle. The menu consisted ofs fruit cocktails and potato chips, scalloped chicken, twice-baked potatoes, pimento green beans, stuffed tomato salad, celery, olives, radish roses, buttered hot rolls, ice cream with fresh strawberries, cookies and coffee. The mothers of the Junior Class prepared the delicious three-course dinner and they are to be commended and thanked for their help. After the dinner was over, Mr. Donaldson, Jean Marie Sloan, and Clifford Hasselbacher gave interesting talks. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing, card games and bunco. The evening was enjoyed by all who attended. Miss Allen and Mr. Vaughn, the class advisers shall be long remembered because of their loyal support in helping to put on this lovely banquet and dance.
