1952 Spectator IN THE LITTLE RED SCHOOL HOUSE After four pleasant years in Brirn-field High, we now leave behind many cherished memories. D u ring these years the school has shared many of our sorrows and pleasures as we steadily advanced to our goal. Now we are leaving, though we'll never forget the preparation and training it has given us, to face the responsibility of our future. I Ve certainly feel our school has done its part in making us better citizens of tomorrow. RAH! RAH! For its red and white we cherish May it ever float on high! And we'll fight to win each battle For Brimficld High! CHA HF.F! CHA FI AH! BRIMFIELD! BRIMFU L])! RAH! RAH! RAH!

SMILES SENIOR OFFICERS AND ADVISORS John Best..........................................President Dick Schmitt Vice President Nancy Knight.......................................Secretary Marilyn Phillips...................................Treasurer Mr. Atwater and Mrs. Mitchell Advisors SENIOR HISTORY To the srrains of “School Days” twenty-eight green freshies joined Brimfield High on August 30, 1948. For our first year we chose: President, John Best; Vice - President, Boh Short; Secretary, Nancy Knight; and Treasurer, Marilyn Tucker. Appointed advisors were Miss Lee and .Mr. Bond. At Christmas time the freshmen gave a very enjoyable party for all members of CHS. Many members represented our class in athletics, FFA, FHA, and band. W hen May came we were proud we had survived our first year, but glad it was time for vacation. On August 29, 1949, we again joined B! IS, but this time with only twenty-seven members. We were accustomed to the routine, so immediately we elected officers. They were: President, John Best; Vice-President, Bob Short; Secretary, Nancy Knight; and Treasurer, Donna Adams. Advisors for the year were Miss Pitney and Mr. Cox. This year passed with little consequence. In Mav we held a class picnic at Lake Storey to “celebrate” the beginning of vacation. September 5, 1950, saw twenty-six members coming into the halls of BUS. This was to be our greatest year thus far and so we elected: President, John Best; Vice-President, 10 Dick Schmitt; Secretary, Marilyn Tucker; and Treasurer, Mickey Antonaeci. Again, we had Miss Pitney and Mr. Cox as advisors. In November we got our class rings and put on the hilarious play, “The Mad I larters.” We came very close to setting a record for attendance. Eileen Notzke was selected to go to Girl’s State from Brimficld. Our banquet was May 3 with our theme “Hitch Your Wagon to a Star.” We used blue and white carnations with streamers to carry out our theme. Thus our third year in B.H.S. was ended. On September 5, 1951, twenty-one starry eyed seniors ascended the steps of B.H.S. This was to be our biggest and brightest year. We elected: President, John Best; Vice-President, Dick Schmitt; Secretary, Nancy Knight; and Treasurer, Marilyn Phillips. In October we decided to produce a 1952 Spectator. c selected a very capable staff headed by Barbara Arbogast and Eileen Notzke, co-editors. In November we held the Senior Hop. Music for round and square dancing was provided by Sullivan’s Orchestra of Dunlap. The evening was climaxed by the crowning of John Best and Donna Clark as king and queen. And so, after four enjoyable years, the class of ’52 says farewell to the school we have loved and served. It is with much sadness and many wonderful memories that we take our leave. We thank you, Brimfield High, for all the good times, the times of trial, the victorious moments, and those of defeat. You will always be first in our minds and hearts. D.A.R. AWARD By vote of the Senior Class and the faculty, Marilyn Phillips was elected to receive the D.A.R. good citizenship award. She was selected for her qualities in dependability, service, leadership and patriotism. Marilyn Phillips 11 MEMORIES Memories, Memories, dreams of love so true.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Probably the happiest time in the lives of eighteen “timid” freshmen, was in September, 1949, when we entered the halls of B.H.S. After spending a few weeks getting acquainted with the faculty, we held our first class meeting, selecting Margery Smith as President; Gary Best as Vice-President; Lincoln Phillips as Treasurer; and David Joos as Secretary. Chosen to lead and guide us during our first year were Mr. Hamman and Mr. Kimble. In September the class was initiated, and in March, they were host at an all school party. The entire class participated in a hilarious program. The day after school closed, the class went on a picnic at Glen Oak Park. Everyone had a chance to play baseball, cat, swim, and watch a movie. In September of 1950 we again entered B. H.S., this time with more confidence. At our first class meeting we elected Lincoln Phillips as President; Ralph kingdom Tice President; David Joos, Treasurer; and Fred Dungan, Secretary. Mr. Hamman, and Mr. Lauderdale were our capable advisors for the year. Our job of initiating the Freshman proved to be a large task considering that there were 33 Freshmen and only 18 Sophomores. In August, 1951, a larger group of Juniors entered B.H.S.; our class had increased to 20 members. This was our big year, so we elected very capable leaders: Gary Best, President, Ralph Kingdon, Vice-President; Lincoln Phillips, Secretary; and Margery Smith, Treasurer. Our class sponsors were Miss Stewart, Mr. Bride, and Mr. Cox. In November we produced the play “Cheaper by the Dozen”, setting a record for ticket sales. In November we got our class rings, making us a proud class indeed. The beginning of the New Year found our class losing three of its members, among them our class Secretary. Jeanne Clark took up the responsible office of Secretary after Lincoln Phillips left. In February Joan Lyons was added, making our class stand at eighteen. On February 15, the juniors were hosts at a semi-formal, Valentine Ball. Freddie Stevens provided the entertainment for the evening. The Junior class published the school paper “Camerette throughout the second semester. Several members entered in speech and essay contests during the year. We are all looking forward to one last and greatest year at B.H.S.

Unacquainted as we were with high school procedure, we succeeded in holding our first class meeting. For our officers we chose Jerry Adams as President; Dale McBeth, Vice-President; Norma Powers, Secretary; and LeRoy Burks as Treasurer. Our class advisors were Miss Stigall and Mr. Dittus. The inevitable Freshman Initiation rolled around and with it came laughter for the upper classmen and grief for the “Freshies”. As the end of the school year drew near we made plans for a picnic at Lake Storey. We carried our plans out very successfully. When school reopened in September of 1951, we reached our second stepping stone with just a little more prestige at our command. We elected as our leaders Jerry Adams as President, Norma Powers as Vice-President, Mary Reed as Secretary, and Karen Mulvanev as Treasurer. To advise us in our activities were Mr. Hamman and Mr. Lauderdale. W e initiated the Freshmen with the traditional ceremony given us in our first year. At the “Senior I lop” we were well represented by our King and Queen, Billy Goetze and Karen Mulvanev. Soon after the Senior-sponsored dance we had a class party, consisting of a chili supper followed by a movie in Elmwood. Our class shows its talent by having a sophomore representative in virtually ever extra-curricular organization or activity in school. We, the class of “54”, are anxiously awaiting our entrance into B.H.S. as juniors. We believe next year will be the greatest thus far w and look forward to making it a great success.

Later in the year they had a class meeting to elect: President, Mary Ella Cox; Vice-President, Janice Joos; Secretary, Jo Ann Nau-man; Treasurer, Martin Maher. The class advisors were Mrs. Beattie and Mr. Lober. Soon the Sophomores initiated this class, requiring some horrible costumes and innumerable stunts.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME Left to right—Cheerleaders: Lorene Gmrrriglit, Nancy Knight, Joyce Porter, Carol Whittaker. Mr. Hamman, Mr. Lober HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL The won-lost record of this year’s varsity cage squad was none too impressive, but this may be due partially to the fact that the team was composed largely of underclassmen. The first few games were lost by wide margins, but in the latter half of the season the boys showed improvement by making the games more exciting and by winning some of them. Only two members of this year's varsity will be lost through graduation. Bob Short and Jerry Doran. We will miss Short’s ball handling and scrappy play along with Doran’s rebounding and shooting accuracy. The future looks bright for the Indians, since three members of the starting five. Juniors Ralph Kingdon and Fred Dungan, Sophomore Hampton Smith, and also two front line reserves. Chuck Courtright and Mart Maher, will be on hand next season. Other members of the squad who showed promise for the future in Junior-varsity play this year were Tonev Helton, Harold Camp, Frank Kingdon, Ray Mills, and Charles Clus-key. Another indication for things to come for Brimfield High School was the fine showing of the Freshmen-Sophomore Tournament.

The Brinifield Chapter of F.F.A. under the direction of Mr. Charles Cox, their advisor, has been very active this year. Officers elected for the year were: John Best, President; Dick Schmitt, Vice-President; Ralph Kingdon, Treasurer; Fred Dungan, Secretary; Gary Best, Reporter; and Bob Short, Sentinel. For fund raising campaigns, the F.F.A. conducted a paper and scrap drive. They also published a 1952 calendar under a picture of the members. There have been several social events this year, too. First was a joint F.II.A.-F.F.A. wiener roast at Jubilee College State Park. Later in the year the F.F.A. again joined the F.H.A., this time in a supper for members and tbeir parents. Several plays and a dance climaxed the evening’s entertainment. During Thanksgiving vacation, the Junior- Senior Ag. Class went on a trip to the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago. They saw the horse show, took a tour through Swifts, and visited the Museum of Science and Industry during their three day stay in the “Windy City.” In February the members went to Forney’s Cafe in Elmwood for a meal. Chapter officers attended a Section 5 Officers’ Banquet. Farmer Bill and Newell Reed were made Honorary Members of the Chapter at a second pot luck supper. Several of the members of the Brinifield Chapter have also won individual awards. Gene Enicrick won first place in the state in the Pioneer Girn Yield Contest. Gary Best won first place in the F.F.A. Sectional Public Speaking Contest. Also during this year. Dick Schmitt, John Best, Gene Emerick, and Mr. Cox appeared with Farmer Bill over radio station WMBD. I COULD WRITE A BOOK I he Librarians have done a very fine job in taking care of rhe library. Several new books have been added ro the shelves this year. At the beginning of the year Mrs. Beattie and the librarians cleaned the library, which improved the appearance a great deal.

C.. to witness the inauguration of John Best as President of the United States. Through high school John was our president. Credit must he given to Dick Schmitt as lie managed John’s campaign and chose “(Jet the Best with Best” as the winning slogan. I fowever, the class is interested in other fields than politics. Dr. Dclmar Hassclbacher, the famed inventor and scientist, has made several trips to the moon and is now on a trip to Jupiter. We will he glad to hear his reports and adventures. President Best has invited us to the Blue Room at the White House to see Shirlcv Culbertson on her coast to coast television show. You would hardlv recognize her with her long platinum blonde hair. Shirley is very busy lately since she took over Dag-mar's place on television. I see Barbara Arbogast, who has graduated from nurses training. Barbara has finally settled down to married life with a business executive and lives in one of the most fashionable suburbs of New York. Barbara tells me that the budding romance of Alari-lvn Tucker and Jerry Doran has blossomed into a wonderful marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Doran live in a colonial mansion in Georgia. Bob Short is a little late to the television party because of the enormous crowd of autograph seekers which met him at the gates. Bob has capitalized on his fatherly roles in the class plays. He has just started his sixth year in the role of father in the stage plav, “Life with Father.” John has informed me that Betty Emcrick Pacey will not be able to be with us. She wrote to say that she has been busy on her 4 X) acre dude ranch in Idaho. Betty recently wrote and told me that Marilyn Phillips has taken over Emily Post’s column in the Chicago Tribune. It came naturally to Marilyn because of her good manners and ability to face all situations. A silence falls over the crowd as Donna Clark enters in a stunning creation which she has designed herself. Donna took a designing course in college, and since then has created many dresses which have won fashion academy awards. Donna informs us that I.cRov Johnson is one of her best customers. I.cRov is now the purchasing manager of Sax Fifth Avenue, and has made several trips to Paris for the Spring and Fall Style Shows. President Besr tells us that he has chosen Lorenc Courtright as his Secretary of Navy. Lorene joined the WAVF.'s after graduation and soon worked her way to the top. We have a school teacher in our group. Wilma Peters decided to become a commerce teacher and is now teaching in an exclusive girls school. Wilma tells us that in typing she has recently made 90 words per minute without any errors. Barbara Bradley Sheets has settled down near Peoria and has three charming little girls. Barbara and Walt were married shortly after his return from overseas duty. Barbara’s oldest girl attends Madame Louise's Dancing School. I was surprised to learn that Madame Louise was none other than Harriett Clark of our class of ’52. Harriett’s dancing won acclaim by Arthur Murray and she has recently taken over his studios. The refreshments John served were certainly delicious. I hear they are from the Char-Leen Delicatessen Shop. These bakeries are operated throughout the United States by Charolctte Woodrow and Eileen Notzkc. They were both very good cooks in high school and therefore decided to make it their career. Nancy Knight is unable to be present at this time because she is on tour with her orchestra. She decided to become a singer after all the practice she got on the Senior Trip. She has recently accepted a contract with Guv Lombardo. Sondra Welch and Michaelin Antonacci are still doing very charitable work. After graduating from nursing school they decided to establish a neighborhood house in Chicago. These girls made great progress in helping teen-agers get a good start in life. Once again the Class of ’52 is together. In our hearts and minds, the wonderful years arc deeply printed and there they shall stay always.

Generations ago, Westward Ho! was the cry. Today, newer, bigger frontiers have opened up . . . east. . . west. . . north . . . south . . . everywhere! But human characteristics have not changed: now, as then, the man with know-how, ambition and the will-to-work, wins! True, geographic boundaries no longer identify a frontier. Yours may be in medicine . . . industry . . . agriculture . . . research ... a business of your own! How can you recognize your frontiers? Take a tip from the pioneers. They saw their frontier as a challenge to overcome obstacles . . . they knew that an honest day’s work brought them an honest day's return. They found that freedom . . . happiness ... peace__wealth — the right to be somebody, had to be earned ... and were well worth earning! Choose a worthy frontier for your goal. Then, be willing to work as hard for it as did your forefathers. On the other side of your frontier is success. Bon voyage!
