THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1955 Witnessed by Carol Anderson and Donna Harris CLASS HISTORY The records of this class are missing from the first grade to the fourth grade hut this is as we remember it. Starting in the first grade were Alice McCarty, Marjorie Malott, Sue Ann Tanksley, Ely Shank, Bob Cunningham, Clarence Leitzow, Gene Whaley, Marvin Pickett, Bill Cline, Shirley Zurschmede, Jim Plott. Ronnie Strain. Jerry Uylat, Ronnie Clark, Bill Lee, and William Aliss. In the second grade Mrs. Tanksley was our teacher. Shirley Zurschmede left us that year. Norman Standish, Barbara Aliss. Neil Vanderkolk. Bob Herriman, Esther Honn, Estel Honn, and Dennis Dowty entered. Bob Herriman and Neil Vanderkolk dropped out in the third grade. Sue Carol Hendry, Clara Strain, and Joe Schuster entered. Our class was divided. Part of the class was in with the second grade with Mrs. Pombert as the teacher. The other half of the class was with the fourth grade with Mrs. Sainte as their teacher. We have always wondered which half of the class was the smarter. In the fourth grade Mrs. LeGrand was our teacher. Rita Evans, Diane Wil- son, and Bernard Flynn entered. Alice McCarty dropped out. In the fifth grade Mrs. Carter was our teacher. Bob Nugent, Eileen Griffin, Maxine Fowler, and Ernest Yeoman entered. Again in the sixth grade Mrs. Carter had to put up with us. Norman Standish. Ernie Yeoman, and Marjorie Malott dropped out. Our seventh grade year we got to go up stairs with the high school kids. Calvin Whaley entered our class. Our eighth grade year there were five girls and ten boys. In our Freshman year Carol Anderson, John Haynes, Eileen Griffin, Donna Harris, Martha Riegle’ Virginia Guthrie, and Calvin Whaley entered from Ade and Peggv Cain, Loren Ferris, and Sue Wilson entered from Foresman. Clara Strain, Ely Shank, and Diane Wilson withdrew. The next year we had twenty two members during the year we lost one class- mate, Bernal Varboncouer. and gained another. Ernie Yeoman. We were very proud of our red and blue class sweaters we obtained this year. We had some swell class parties and a very pretty Christmas dance. Our Junior year Diana Lash, Pat Fowler, and Phyllis Fowler entered. This was the vear we started making money, we sold magazines, and concessions at the ball games. We had a good play “Grandpa’s Twin Sister’’ and the prettiest prom the Brook gym ever saw. At the beginning of our Senior year we had 26 members, no one entered and Sue Carol Hendry dropped out. We were starting the homestretch, waiting but dreading the familiar strains of “Pomp and Circumstance.” We kept on making money and presented the play “Mother Is A Freshman which everyone enjoyed. We are all looking forward to the wonderful trip to New York and Washington which everyone worked so hard to obtain. We all hope we will be as happy and have as much fun out of school as we did in school.

About three weeks later the losing side treated the winning side to a chili supper, which was held at Sandra Clark’s. After chili and cokes were served everyone went to the show. At Christmas time they had their gift exchange and chicken supper at Carol Snyder’s. After the party everyone went to the Sophomore dance. The Juniors are now working on their prom. They have their theme picked out, and date picked out which is to be April 30. The decorating committee has had its first meeting on March 1.

The band has been very busy this year playing for ball games and concerts. On December 5, the Brook High School Band held its annual fall concert, at which the senior members were presented with merit sweaters by the Band Boosters. Following the state band contest, the band had a new experience. On April 18 and 19, they went on a concert tour, playing at Delphi, Sheridan, Northwestern High School at Kokomo, and Indiana Central College at Indianapolis. After the tour, a concert was given in the Collier Gymnasium on April 24. FLUTE DUET SALLY BANNON, JUDY CONNELL This duet was enjoyed by local people and judges alike. Two more all state medals.

A school librarian was first employed in 1939 to comply to a new state law. The year before this some of the books had been cataloged by Miss Cunningham in prepara- tion for regular school library service. Mr. Tanksley assumed charge of this and has continued through to the present date. Since this time one thousand, five hundred eighty-eight books have been added to grade and high school. During this time students have helped in checking out books and hunting material. Some have helped by typing book cards and pasting pockets and date due slips on books. The student librarians feel they have benefitted from the experience and rendered a service to the student body. It has helped teachers in their making assignments and saved them time in gathering materials.

FIRST ROW: Bob Cunningham, Rex Whaley, Clarence Leitzow, Calvin Whaley, Gene Whaley, John Haynes, and Porter Jack. Coach Miller's Aces had one of their best years. Their season record was Won 19, Lost 5. The team was noted chiefly for its balance and fast passing. These boys gave everything that they had all season long, in every game. They did their best; their utmost. If every one of us will put out as much, and try as hard, in whatever we at- tempt to do, as these boys have tried this year—SUCCESS will surely be ours. “B” TEAM SECOND ROW: Phil Miller, Coach, Merrill Lopp, John Hammon, Wayne Downs, Manager, Jim Brunton, Jim Plott, Doug Lowry, Assistant Coach. FIRST ROW: Jack Fenwick, Dick Hancock, Don Antcliff, Wendell Whaley, Bob Lyons, and Dick Antcliff. The B Team boys, under Coach Lowry, worked hard this year. The boys com- piled a Won 11, Lost 9 record for the year, and showed sparkle in every game. These boys know that there will be seven Varsity places to fill next fall, and have done a good job in winning more than half of their games.
