 i I Cupid started working early in the year, for school had just started nicely when James Ibeck,our most promising soft ball pitcher, decided to leave us for the more attractive field of marriage. In no time at all the little boy with the arrow started his mischief again'and we soon saw Caryl Tuttle, a very lovely and talented lass, wearing a beautiful diamond ring. Reports of Donald Snider's engagement soon reached our ears. It wa.s soon October and we wore again planning our class play. Yfe chose the mystery, Hobgoblin House , which was attended by an even larger crowd than we had in 1U7• The careful directing of Miss Stigall made this a dramatic success and a cherished memory to us as seniors, Y.re presented the play on November 18 and again we broke the record by talcing in $256.30, The following night the Brimficld Redcoats were off on a season of basketball. We were proud to have five letter-men and two cheerleaders as representatives from our class. In February we unanimously chose Patricia Bennett to receive the D.A.R. award, and the faculty readily agreed with us. Congratulations, Pat I Yes, May was here with graduation just around the corner.There was the excitement of receiving congratulations and gifts, and also the sad part of saying goodbyes. Then came the happy moment when we received our diplomas. We were no longer students of Brimfield High School but pilgrims in a new but strangely wonderful land, seeking opportunity as did the 'U9ers of long ago. You see we are !U9crs, too. Cheer up was the word!! As a fitting conclusion to four years of happy times and hard work, we spent June 1-U on' a lake cruise to Canada. These were four blissful days of dancing, swimming, and eating. This last time we were together as the class of U9 was a memorable occasion which we will never forget.

 ft .'■ »viwv w«s rts ftvtwivrr ft ft rt ZULSjmEZr Jhe lorty-Joiners To all who are interested we give you a clue To the ’I 1 graduates of Brimfield High School. Tired of school and its confusion, Mary Lou is now some man’s illusion. Next comes Tom Maher, the shortest of men In the classroom his jokes create quite a din. Bill Day is a boy so mild and meek That even his shoes refuse to squeak. If it’s quiet and neatness you want it to be. Brown-haired Esther measures up to a T . To college next summer we expect Mary Ann to go But with her interests in Reed----how do we know? Norma Porter is among those who arc short And for all your cute questions she has a retort. Pat looks like an angel and acts like one too, But you never can tell what an angel will do. To make the world a friendlier place, Sue always wears a smiling face. Miriejn is quite gentle, but not so shy, Yet in our minds she ranks quite high. Leila is always ready to aid And of such thing real friends are made. Wilma is a blonde with a nice deep dimple With housewife ambitions—pure and simple. Darlene is a little miss, which to us appears, Deals largely in laughter and not in tears. The president of our 1U9T class, Is Mary Lou Courtright - the cheerleading lass. Now Homer Lynn is another Seniors name And to become a great politician is his only aim. Caryl Tuttle is the senior with a diamond ring. To be out of school and married, would make her heart sing. To George the saddest words of mouth or pen, Are those three little words, You flunked again . To get Raymond to talk is surely a task, But he’s helped us gladly that’s all we ask. i T
