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
