Memories Memories? Oh yes, good and bad. Let s ioua oack and relive a few of them for a minute. First was our coming into high school in our Freshman year. In that year there was initiation ( for some of us, that is ). Just ask the boys. That was one of the not-so-good memories.. The girls were pretty lucky, as they got out of it. Then came our Sophomore year, in which we had the honor of getting our class sweaters. We had quite a time deciding on what color we wanted. It seemed the boys and girls had different view points on the subject. Well, we finally did decide on royal blue, with red letters trimmed in white. Most of us were fairly well pleased with them after all, even though we had fought over the colors. Mr. Axe was our sponsor at that time and every class meeting usually ended up by Mr. Axe’s sending us back to the study hall before we had made any decisions at all. W onder why ? ? ? Our Junior year was a busy one. Although most of us carried five solids that year we had time for our many activities such as our magazine sale, in which we did quite well. The total amounted to around $1,500. We also received our class rings, but it seems that many have lost them already. Our Junior Play entitled “Dear Papa”, turned out quite well. Mrs Johnson was our adviser and we all had loads of fun preparing for the play. After the play that night we had a picnic dinner behind statue in honor of Mrs Johnson. Harvey, and narlie, who had birthdays during that week in October. So we had enough cakes to eat! The big moment of the year was the Junior and Senior Prom. For our theme we had “Blue Velvet”. The gym was decorated very attractively, and to set the mood for dancing was Paul Gates orchestra. Then last but not least has been our Senior year. At the very beginning of the year most of us started looking back over the years at B. H. S. Some of them were happy and some, sad. Now we are awaiting the one big day--Graduation, the 15th of May. Some of us are wanting very much for the day to come and others well, not so anxious for it. Now we have to look forward to life beyond school and to what we are to become, but we will always look back and remember our years at Brook High School. On the past we shall build our future. 17
