Dedication The Senior Class of 1969 dedicates this yearbook to Mrs. Virginia Doubet in recognition of her long service and continued devotion to her students. 4 SENIORS Seniors End Four Wonderful Years High school began on August 30, 1965, for this year’s senior class. The class roll totaled 29. Class officers that year were Rick Owens, President; Dave Wagner and Becky Beever, VlcerPresidents; and Candle Blackwell, Secretary-Treasurer. During the year the class had four successful fund raising projects. As Sophomores, the Class of '69 totaled 32 and has kept that number the last three years. Driver's education kept the class busy that year. Class officers were Joe Gelling, President; Bob McKown, Vice-President; Dorita Lewis, Secretary; and Steve Cluskey, Treasurer. The Junior year for this class was very active. Ten Little Indians was the play presented and the annual prom was Paris By Night. Ron Cluskey, President; Tom Stenger, Vice-President; Sandy Geitner, Secretary; and Mike Sprinkle, Treasurer were the class officers. This year the annual Chieftain sales are an important part of Senior life. The Chilli Supper and the Ham and Swiss Steak Dinner are two fund raising projects. The Chieftain Review brought smiles to the audience and was the finale of four years of class projects.

Their first day consisted of a maze of halls and room numbers which bewildered even the wisest. Freshmen have their own special way of coping with the first year of high school which only those who have been freshmen comprehend. However, this illustrious group of scholars has become exceptionally well-versed in the ways of Brimfield High School. All members of the Class of ' 72 worked during this active year that woula put them on the road to their senior trip. 24 FACULTY GERALD ATKINSON General Business WILLIAM CINNAMON Agriculture I-IV, Shop; F.F.A., Junior Class Sponsor.
