Brimfield High School - Spectator Yearbook (Brimfield, IL)

Our sophomore year started as just another year. We considered ourselves ’’Old Pros at B.H.S., and we were always ready to help any of the new freshmen with their problems. It became a zany and dangerous year when we entered our Driver’s Ed. class. Everyone managed to nervously pass his test and receive his license, but Mr. Sauerwein hasn’t been the same since. Our Sadie Hawkins Dance was a big success. Pauline Johnson and Bob Foster were elected as candidates to the Valentine Ball, and we were all very proud when Bob was elected King. PAULINE JOHNSON Twinkle Toes Not very tall, but very small; fair and sweet and loved by all. RONNIE JOHNSTON Dog Make much of me, good men are scarce. JOYCE MILLS Skinny Has anybody seen my halo? JOHN MILLER Johnny A woman hater; he hates to leave them. RICHARD MILLER Tiny Never let your studies interfere with your education.

LINDA GRAY Lynn I don't care how you spell my name, I'll change it someday just the same. In August of 1959, we first walked up the steps to Brimfield High School. It is not difficult to remember that day. Most of us were scared stiff, excited about the new change, and proud to be called a freshman. It took us awhile to become used to our schedules and to get our schoolwork finished on time, but we soon 1 earned that no one was going to stand behind us, pushing us until we got our work done. It was up to us now. We worked hard that year on our work projects hoping to earn an appreciable amount of money. We joined in many of the extracurricular activities, and we elected Karen Goetze and James Catton as our candidates for the Valentine Ball. 14

JOYCE PULLEN Pudge Red hair doesn’t always mean a fiery temper. SAM NELSON Sam Why not have a lot of fun with a little study thrown in. JOHN SAVAGE Henry I get up at the crack of dawn, stuff up the crack, and go back to bed. ROSEMARY RIEKER Corncob She likes to follow the actions of great big husky men. LINDA SCHLINK Frog A giggle, a dash, a shriek, and a crash. Our junior year was filled with many activities, and it almost turned into a rat-race for many. In November we got our class rings, and many of us were left broke for weeks. Our play Gold in the Hills was given the same month. We had worked hard for weeks--with a little fun thrown in--and we agree that we gave the best performance that we could. In February we decorated the gym for the Valentine Ball. Our theme that year was Sweethearts on Parade, and our candidates were Sara Smith and Tom Goodman. The prom proved to be a lot of work for everyone. Our theme was Fantasyland complete with a castle, elves, and stars. The Top Hats provided the music for the evening. A wonderful meal was served, and a movie was shown in the study hall to complete the evening. 16
