At last comes, this glorious day When Seniors, so chronicles say, Go forth to meet strife, And everyday life. Away from their school life so gay. School Board The School Board is one of the most useful organizations in this communi- ty. 1 hese men — Leslie Akers, trus- tee ; hrges Woods, president; Dr. W. G. Pippenger, secretary; and Richard Hershman, treasurer — truly do a great service for the youth of our community. Dr. Pippenger was appointed secre- tary at the beginning of the school year, after the death of Paul Howell, who had served on the Board since 1945. The Board members realize that our school must progress with the rest of the changing world so they started a modernization program two years ago with new seating and lighting in the grades. The downstairs rest- rooms were also modernized. In the future there are going to be two rooms a year relighted until the whole school is done. The members saw to it that we got a new Ford for the Drivers’ Training Course which was started this year. In the future the members hope to obtain for the school a combi- nation radio and phonograph set for the assembly. The modernization of the school and the equipment bought for the school help our youth of today keep up with current information and also the knowledge of man’s past. To do this service takes time, plan- ning. and an interest in the public good. Staff Merle Goodwin—Superintendent. “Wields the big stick . Kathryn Tanksley—First Grade. “Starts us on our road.” I.eona Kanne—Second Grade. “Introduces us to cursive writing, science, English and social studies as subjects.” Edna Iliff—Third Grade. “Summarizes primary work and breaks us into real school routine.” Esther S'ainte—Fourth Grade. “Takes up social science as a subject and starts us writing with ink. Xellie Carter—Fifth Grade. Initiates us into Our Gang and drills in basic subjects. Mary Anderson—Sixth Grade. “Gets us ready for Junior High. Lawrence Hannon—Commerce “Prepares us for a business life. —9— Xorman Tanksley—History. “Brings us up to date on events.” Paul Egli—Music. Develops talent to bring home top honors.” Frances Hendrickson—Home Ec. and Phys. Ed. Gives help to future homemakers in cook- ing and sewing.” Catherine Johnson—English and Latin and Speech. “Grammars us to death and litters us with literature.” Dee Baker—Coach, Health, Math. Driver Training. “Coaches all four basketball teams and makes safe drivers.” Glen Burchby—Agriculture and Biology. “Teaches the boys to farm.” Nole alters—Algebra and Chemistry. “Clears up the meaning of mathematics and chemistry formulas.” Violet Crudden—Secretary. 10- I'EARL CLINE Cook VF.RLE SNYDER Cook HOB LONG Janitor CLYDE MARTIN Janitor —11 Seniors For some of these students high school graduation marks nothing more than a gap between one phase of schooling and another. For others graduation marks the commence- ment of adult life with adult responsibilities. Many will marry soon and begin the career of housewife or husband. Many will find themselves in the service of their country. Normal adult life or continued education will be temporarily suspended. Whether this senior year includes them in one group or another, it is hoped that the perusal of these pages in days to come will bring back memories of happy days. As Shakespeare and one senior put it, “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” In some ways it is a gladsome occasion to close this chapter of the book of life. In others a thing of regret.

Robert Tanksley, Robert Wilson, and Esther Standish. 17— Senior Prophecy Charlie Caul—Peace talks have been going on in Korea for the past ten years. In Pres Ike’s speech he stated he thought it was time to send someone over there who could gel something done. Ont of his many friends he selected none other than the four star gen- eral. Charles Caul. Today we are happy to state that our country is on peace loving terms with Russia. Joan Cooper—Is now a telegraph operator in Hollywood and she spends most of her time sending telegrams announcing the mar- riages and divorces of the Hollywood stars. We received a letter from her yesterday say- ing Elizabeth Taylor is getting married for the 7th time. Don Ekstrom—After Prof. Baby Face Ekstrom of Purdue is tired of trying to teach city slickers what he knows about cattle, he wiil return to a little ranch he owns and with the help of Donna, his dear bride, he will raise hundreds of head of cattle. Mona Goodwin—When she is not busy taking care of her three sets of twins, she is playing concerts in Symphony Hall. If you should hear a few extra claps at the end of the concert, it’s just Dick and the kids on the front row. Dick Harper—After working five years in a pool hall and keeping out of the way of girls. Dick has finally settled down as the head judge of the Miss America Contest, and he says, quote, I never knew a job could be so interesting.” Joan Honn—is now living in Hollywood where she shares her eighteen room home with Mary Riegle and Joan Cooper. Due to her the styles have changed around Republic Pictures Studios. Joan has signed a 10 year contract to design the garments of Harvey, the rabbit; Francis, the talking mule; Trigger, the smartest horse in the movies; along with a few other stars. Marilyn Hood—In case your furniture is worn out and has a lack of color, just take it to Hood’s Upholstering Shop. When she sends it back, it looks just as it did before you sent it. So don't forget — that’s Hood’1� Upholstering Shop on Southwest Blvd. in Brook. Indiana, or phone Kackleberry 123. ou always get your money’s worth. Bob Murfitt—For a few years now Bob has been studying the stars and planets and at the same time building a rocket to fly to Mars. He has finally found all there is to know about the location of Mars, and if he can get the consent of Dear Ruth”, he will take off next summer on his trip and, of course, we all wish him luck and success. Mary Riegle—Just in case you wonder who gave you the wrong number, don’t be alarm- ed ; it s none other than Mary Riegle. Mary (whose name is now Mrs. Miller) has ad- vanced from a Brook operator to one of Hollywood’s. Now she gets all the gossip before Louella Parsons does. Esther Standish—After working for three years at a department store in Rensselaer, Indiana, she is now head clerk in a depart- ment store in Columbia, South Carolina, and making plenty of money. Bob Tanksley—Bob is now a professor at Purdue University but he spends most of his time in his new laboratory trying to discover the Elixir of Youth he was looking for so hard when he was a Senior. Janice Whaley—When Janice was still in school, she started working as a typist in the Brook Community Bank. But today she has replaced Harry Lawrence as the president. You probably wonder who is taking care of the home, why Dutch, of course. By con- stantly taking care of the home, he has gained the title of “Mr. Homemaker of 1962.” Bob Wilson—If you can remember back to the night of March 21. 1952, a young man appeared in the T. V. Talent show in the huge gym of the Brook School. If you re- member rightly and I’m sure you do he gave a performance similar to that of the great Caruso. Today he is living in the great city of New York. Oh. no, he is not competing with Caruso but is his page boy. 18— Senior Will We, the Senior Class of 1952 of Brook High School, being of sound mind (?) and memory, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament.

This year has been no exception for the busy juniors since they were working for money to finance the banquet and prom and their senior trip. Selling magazines turned out a very profit- able enterprise. Last fall class members sold approximately $1250 worth. On this project the class netted $500. In October the class staged their play, “Dear Papa.” which was a highly successful comedy. Mrs. Johnson directed the play. Operating the concessions at alternate home games required a great deal of students’ time, but it proved worthwhile. Candy, gum, solf drinks, and popcorn helped the fans cheer harder for their teams. May 2 brought the highlight of the junior year and the the school social season, the Junior-Senior Prom. The banquet was de- licious: the gym beautifully decorated; the orchestra smooth. It was an event worth all that went into it. Officers leading the class were Raj' Hie- stand. president; Harvey Arbuckle, vice-presi- dent ; Xancv Hershman, secretary-treasurer. Sophomores The sophomore class has been more active than usual this year. Classes, clubs, class parties, and other activities have' been re- sponsible. Several members of the class were in band, choVus, and glee club The honor roll num- bered many sophomores. Sophomores were members of every club. They worked on the paper and annual. The class sponsored an all school Christmas dance. The weatherman changed the date for evrvone. but the party was enjoyable anyhow. As an income project, the class operated a coat check at basketball games. The idea was successful. One member of the class moved away in February. Patsy Holder’s family went to Donovan. Leroy Murfitt, Judy Patterson, Pat Boelkc, and Ann Fitzgerald were president, vice- president, secretary, and treasurer of the class. Freshman The Freshmen were certainly busy this year. After surviving the initiation given to them by the seniors, they settled down to work. Quite a few got on the Distinguished and Honorable Mention List. Nine of them were in the band and many carried off medals in the state and regional musical contests. Loads of parties were given; Christmas, skating, and just plain social events. Most of the boys made the “B” team and were busy practicing their shooting and dribbling whenever possible. The girls were active in 4-H work and in the Sunshine Club. So, as vou can see the Freshmen made up a very versatile and friendly class. The officers were Billy Cline, Bob Nugent, Rita Evans, and Joe Schuster as president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. —21— Top Row: Kenneth Wesley, Esther Honn, John Holder.

Arema Henderson, Sandra Clark, and Betty Riegle were new students. During the term Kenny Wesley, John Holder, and Richa Lynn Wollin withdrew. The class made great strides forward this Seventh The seventh grade had twenty-seven mem- bers. This year they gained two members and lost one. Pat Witham and Calvin Heaster moved in; later Pat Witham moved to Indian- apolis. The seventh grade had five parties this year. They had a watermelon party, weiner year. For the most part everyone was more settled and ambitious, and the grades and classes reflected the spirit. Several parties were held. One of the most enjoyable was the hayride - weiner roast at Margaret and Norman Standish’s home. Mr. Baker was the sponsor. Grade roast. Christmas party, theatre party, and a Valentine party. They had planned a skating oarty but poor weather conditions prevented it. Mr. Tanksley was their very accommodat- ing sponsor. —23— Top Row: Bob Lyons, Jim Bannon, Bobby Brown, Her- man Alliss.

Not only have they worked hard from day to clay on regular lessons, but they have continued the type of club work so valuable in teaching people to work to- gether. The class called its club “The Happy Sixes”. The organization sponsored a Valen- tine party as the main social event of the year. Participation in school programs has been Fifth It is in the fifth grade that children begin to make great strides toward growing up. This fifth grade of twenty-six pupils has wasted little time this year, having had as their goal the mastery of fundamentals. The art work has been closely correlated with the units studied. One of the most difficult projects, but one which brought the most gratifying results, was the making of large historical built-up posters of intricate Fourth Enjoying movies and listening to the W.L.S. schooltime programs were only a few of the interesting things the seventeen fourth grad- ers have done this year. The pupils mastered multiplication and division in arithmetic, made trips to the library and post office in connec- tion with their social studies lessons, and formed an English club. The pupils and Mrs. Grade in order for the sixth graders, too. For the American Education Week program these students did a radio broadcast which included both music and news. Members of the group also had parts in the operetta, “Land of Dreams Come True”, presented by the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. Besides seeing many educational films and reading the old and new books in the class library, the group often listened to the W.L.S. schooltime programs. Grade design. Other art work has been entirely creative. Another worthwhile project was a map activity, showing a series of maps ex- plaining “Where We Live”. The class has participated in the usual pro- grams and the exhibits, seen several interest- ing films and film strips, and carried on the traditional activities of the Our Gang Club, which is closing its eleventh year. Grade Sainte felt that the club work and projects would promote the use of better English. For American Education Week, the group prepared a series of rythmic playground activities. They also participated in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade operetta and prepared an exhibit for Open House. —25— Top Row: Judy Curtis, Donna Allbright, Karl Souders.

The square dance, complete with costumes, music, and caller, was done for the American Education Week program. Forming the Reading Club resulted in en- couraging the pupils to do more outside read- ing. Meetings were at the library with members of the class giving book reports on their outside reading. Second Twenty-two second graders together with Mrs. Kanne began work in earnest last fall. Many studies introduced in story and activity in the first grade now became a subject to he learned in a different way. The pupils learned the strokes and loops of cursive writing. They took trips to the postoffice, the fire station, the library, and the zoo as part of their social studies. In art First Getting accustomed to school and learning a new kind of activity are goals for first graders. The ten girls and eight boys who enrolled last fall did a fine job of achieving them. Later Mary Sinks entered from Hang- ing Grove. The class made quite a “hit with the First Grade Follies at the American Education Week program. The songs, recitations, and stories were done well and cleverly. Partici- pation in the “Adventures of Goldilocks” and preparation of an exhibit for Open House The third graders have shown their ambi- tion in another way, too. They sold greeting cards to earn beautifully bound Bibles. Aside from the usual birthday celebrations and parties for different holidays, the pupils enjoyed doing a variety of art work (mostly creative), seeing movies and film strips, and participating in the “Adventures of Goldi- locks”, an operetta or the first, second, and third grades. Grade the pupils created a Christmas scene, made a paper chain American flag, and did other lovely pictures. Seasonal and birthday parties added fun to many a school day. Movies and film strips contributed variety, too. For American Education Week the class demonstrated the use of film strips in school work. Pupils also participated in the operetta. Grade were other activities. To be able to read was necessary if pupils were to enjoy the ten new library books given to the room. Printing and handiwork consist- ing of freehand cutting and drawing were given their share of attention. Social highlights were the Hallowe’en, Christmas, Valentine, birthday, and Beginners’ parties and the closing day picnic. Films on animals, Eskimos, farm life and health supplemented reading material. —27— —28— Activities Whene’er we write a feature right, Or join a group in singing a song. Or act a part in giving a play. We help ourselves by going along. For oft the bit we do is not so much alone, But as a part of one great whole, it is a stepping stone. -29- Top Row: Phyllis Cline, Carol Anderson. Ruth Wilson. Nancy Hershman, Mona Goodwin.

Each member of this group spent enough extra time studying each day that when report card time rolled around at the end of each six week period, each card carried Honor These students likewise aimed for a high goal. Their report cards had to have one of the following combinations of grades in Recreation Noon time has been a busy time all year for these young people and Mr. Walters From the time the weather made it impos- sible for the grade and high school students to be out at the noon period, these people have directed and organized play in the gym. Students a record not lower than two A’s and two B's in academic subjects. Although some students think it silly to spend any more time than is absolutely nec- essary on studies, members of this group know it is a privilege to be able to study in a public school. Students academic subjects: A, B, B, C; B, B, B, B; A, A, B, C. Leaders The lunch program at school has resulted in increased numbers of pupils staying at school for lunch; thereore it was felt that supervised recreation was needed inside during inclement weather. -31- Top Row: Sally Clark.

Their motto was “To make the best better.” The well fed families and neatly dressed girls would say that the aim was fulfilled. Several girls entered the County Judging Contest which was held at Morocco. Compe- tition was very keen, but Margaret Davis. Phyllis Cline, and Nancy Hershman were winners and went on to the District Contest at Lafayette. 4-H This year the club was composed mainly of younger members who were capably directed by the Junior Leaders and Mr. Burchby, the club leader. The club was active and participated in many different things throughout the year. Early in the year some of the older members took part in judging work. In April there was a beef tour on feeding and management. Later on several members went on the county hog tour. In July. Bob Ormiston. Marilyn Wilson, and Jim Brunton placed first, second, Girls The next contest was one for demonstrators. Nancy Hershman placed second in the county with her yeast rolls. At the end of the year, a picnic and swim- ming party was held at Lafayette Park for all those who had completed their work. Joe Schuster sent cookies to the State Fair and Connie sent yeast rolls. Several Junior Leaders attended the State Fair and found the exhibits very interesting. Boys and third respectively in a club garden in- spection contest. The last of the month many of the members went to the 4-H Club Camp. This was one of the highlights of the year. Then previous to the fair, there was a second beef tour on grooming. The club won many high placings at the fair. On 4-H Club night at the fair. Bob Antcliff and Don Ekstrom obtained calfs for next year's projects by participating in the beef scramble. Sunshine Besides living up to the purpose of Sunshine by being helpful to the sick and needy, the Sunshine Society this year has had a lot of fun. After the newcomers were made wel- come to the school and invited to join this worthwhile organization, the social whirl began. The group has had a chili supper, a skating party, a Christmas party for the first graders, to mention a few activities. They have also helped with the Riley, Heart, and Polio drives for funds. This year’s officers were: Mona Goodwin, president; Ann Fitzgerald, vice-president: Margie Davis, secretary; and Judy Patterson, treasurer. Miss Hendrickson was the sponsor. —33— Top Row: Harvey Arbuckle, Charles Whaley. Bob Antclilf, Dale Evans, Bob Murfitt, Don Ekstrom, Ray Hiestand. Bob Tanksley, Norman Henderson.

Staff members have had several departmental meetings in which they discussed new ideas for the paper. Many of the suggestions were adopted and carried out. Three things that the staff did to raise money were to hold a cakewalk, sell refresh- Annual There are thirty-one students on the Annual Staff. It is made up of anyone in the upper four grades wanting to work on the annual. The officers are as follows: Editor—Janice Whaley Ass’t Editor—Mona Goodwin Business Managers—Margie Davis and Judy Patterson Library These students organized by Mr. Tanksley into a staff, have courteously and unselfishly served the student body by giving their free time to act as student librarians. These ments at the basketball games, and sell ad- vertising and subscriptions. The circulation of the paper has almost doubled in the past three years. The size of the paper has been increased, and news cover- age has greatly improved. The Aceonian is numbered among the National Scholastic Press Association Publications. Staff Some of the activities of the annual staff to make money for the annual have been selling at ball games, sponsoring cake walks after ball games, selling ice cream bars at noon and selling advertising. This is the fifth year of publication of the Brook annual. Staff students have checked books in and out, hunt- ed reference material, or some special volume that the student could not find himself. •35- Top Row: Judy Patterson, Don Weishaar, Mrs. Johnson.

Members made a very interesting study of the battle weapons used by the Romans, the organization of the army, the development of the navy, and religion. For National Education Week, all the girls turned seamstresses and made clothes fashioned after Roman styles. They made the man’s toga and tunic and the woman’s Latin The first year Latin Club had seventeen members. One member. Patsy Holder, moved away in March. The Latin Club, a member of the Junior Classical League, held it's meetings the last Friday of each month. Some projects were the making of Roman calendars, Christmas cards, and Valentines. Club 11 palla. The clothing was modeled in a style show for the public. Some of the girls dress- ed their hair in Roman style. Others modeled jewelry, wide belts, and Roman sandals. For a Christmas project a Giristmas mural was made for the Latin-English room. Both Latin Clubs joined together in singing carols around town and in making a trip to Chicago. This year has been very interesting because members have been studying what some of the famous Roman authors recorded. Club I During the Christmas holidays members went caroling. Latin I and IP made a joint trip to the Museum of Natural History in Chicago and also saw Quo Vadis”. The last meeting of the year was a Roman supper. Club officers were: Rita Evans, president; Bertha Ashbaugh. vice-president: Nellie Riegle. secretary; and Fred Ford, treasurer. D. A. R. Award This year Janice Whaley received the D. A. R. Award. She is a Senior and well known to all her friends as “Janie. Janice enjoys singing and does it very well. She has sung several vocal solos at contests since she has been in high school. Janie also sings in Chorus and Glee Club and plays in the band. Rut getting down to business, Janice has taken part in the most votes from a list of nominees of juniors and the Aceonian staff, participated in 4-H, and still had time to be an outstanding student. Student Legislators The student legislators elected by the student body to attend the Nineteenth Annual Legislative Assembly at Purdue this year were Senator Robert Murfitt and Rep- resentative Robert 1 anksley. These two students polled the most votes from a list of nominees of juniors and seniors. Attending the legislative sessions afforded the boys a valuable opportunity to learn more about their govern- ment. Brook was honored by having Robert Murfitt selected as one of the ten leading senators at the conference. —38— Junior Play —CAST— Donnie Weishaar..................

They selected General Burbeck, who was in love with the Professor’s daugh- ter but was turned down because he was too old. They gave the General a bottle of the Elixir which he accidently spilled. A baby was found in the chair where the General was sitting, and this precipitated a series of farci- cal complications. Then the Professor’s daugh- ter disappeared, having left behind her a neighbor's baby for whom she had been car- ing. Needless to say, everyone found out that no one had taken the Elixir and no one had been changed into a baby. -39— Band The Music Hall is a very active place for the Brook High musicians.

This is not a high percentage of games, but everyone must remember that every time a basketball game is played, one team has to lose. There is more to playing basketball than winning. It takes more spirit to lose and go on trying than to win. Everyone is proud of this team, and although they may not have won many games, they surely have gained much in the way of sportsmanship and fair play. With one exception the ‘‘B team consisted entirely of freshmen. It was a good team although they lost quite a few games. Lack of experience was the chief factor. The record should not he taken as discouraging because this team promis- es capable players for next year. High scorers for the year were Bill Cline with 93 points ai d Norman Henderson with 64 points. Seasons Results Varsity Basketball November 2 ... ... Brook 43 9 ... 13 ... 30 . .

However, the boys’ combative spirit and the enjoyment of the game made their season worthwhile. Junior High Cheerleaders The junior high cheerleaders—Vera Dowty, captain; Joyce Denton, Margie Malott, and Laura Hamacher, led their team and cheering section through an exciting but unsuccessful season. Although the team didn’t win every game, the cheer- ing section was kept right behind the team all the time by these enthusiastic leaders. 5th and 6th Grade Basketball The fifth and sixth grade basketball team was the most vic- torious in the school this season. They defeated such teams as Kentland, Jordan and Rensselaer. High scorer, Herman Allis, was out of the line-up part of the season because of an opera- tion, but the squad carried on well. It looks as though these boys will be winning games on the varsity for Brook High in a few years. Left to Right: Marilyn Wha- ley, Beverly Schuette, Jane Hiestand, Dotty Davis. Top Row: Roy Murfitt.

The girls worked hard to imitate the higli school leaders and did remarkably well. The fact that their team did so well shows that the girls were an iniporant factor in keeping up their moral. Varsity Softball The high school team started out last fall as a baseball team but after practicing for several weeks, the coach found he couldn't schedule any baseball games. The team then decided to switch to softball for the remainder of the season. Brook played two softball games, both with Goodland. The first game was very close. Brook winning 8 to 7 in the eighth inning. Base hits lor Brook were made by B. Murfitt with 3; N. Henderson, 2; and L. Murfitt, 2. Total base hits were Goodland 9; Brook 7. The second game was played at Goodland. The final score was Brook 8; Goodland 2. Base hits were collected by N. Henderson. 4: B. Murfitt. 2; L. Murfitt, 2: D. Harper, 2; D. Weishaar. 1 : C. Lyons. 1 : D. Curts. 1; and G. Whaley, 1. Total base hits in the game were Goodland 5 : Brook 14. B. Murfitt pitched both games for Brook. The last of March and the first warm days found both high school and junior high players out limbering up for the spring season. Junior High Softball Although the seventh and eighth grade team played and lost only one game, the number of practice sessions they had shows they are interested in the game. With several years of experience it is felt that these boys will certainly develop into a strong high school team. —53— Cheerleaders These yell leaders, chosen by a majority vote of the student body, have been an im- portant factor in keeping up the morale of the team and the student body. Not only at games did these girls perform but they were instrumental in planning and holding some wonderful pep sessions. Three of the yell leaders were sophomores — Captain Juanita Carroll, Pat Hoelke, and Janet Laffoon; Phyllis Whaley was a junior.
