Asygum SANCTUAPWV The Brookfield-Elmgrove is an upper-middle class suburb of Milwaukee. It is a locale with extravagant homes, expensive cars, and yet a community of some very basic and simplistic values. But does our suburban lifestyle prepare us adequately for an existence in another social environment, or must we be the victims of a secluded and sheltered upbringing? Many stu- dents are satisfied with the life in a suburb, but many others seek the life of a larger city or a rural area. These questions and others were asked of the students of Brookfield Central High School by the Legend. I don't like living in Brookfield because these is not much to do and not many places to go, like there is in a city like Mil- waukeef' fJay Johnsonj I have visted many cities and I find Brookfield to be one of the better cities. fChris Weismant This is not a bad place to live, but everything is too far apart. iLenny Schweigerti At first, I thought that Brookfield would be a great place to start a cultural revolution, but I have discovered that it is just a nice place to live. iFran Trevisani The suburbs have their disadvantages, such as imperson- ality and too much money, but these are outweighed by the great education received and the socially clean environment of the city in general. lBob Priewel Well, you know, Brookfield is a nice place, but Detroit is better. fMatin Hallangert lf I had a choice to live anywhere in the world, Brookfield would not be the first choice but it still is a nice place to live. CG-eorge Stegicl Brookfield you say? its a nice place to visit, but I don't think that I would really want to live there. lJeff Payney t . , kg ,, Xirzx I nf- .V -I 541f f'K3,,,1,,, 14 f Brookfield

LEARNING THROUGH ACADEMIC - 'DISCIPLINES' School, textbooks, teachers, tests, and after twelve years of sitting in a classroom you graduate. There is no more com- pulsory educationg you're in the real world. What did you learn in school? Was it worth your time, or was it wasted time? Did you spend too much time or wasn't it enough? Seeking an answer, Legend went to the students of Brook- field Central. I have learned self-discipline through Band. iAndrew Leej My science fair project and the science classes I have taken have gotten me prepared for college and the career I plan to pursue. lTom Felserj A lot of my teachers have really helped me, especially in getting me interested in a career. lGreg Karchj l've learned responsibility from school. lt's just like a job. lRandy Attripj I find that the things I have learned in my Political Process class are really useful in my life, and will help me a lot in my planned career. lVida Rodj From extracurricular activities I have learned good sports- manshipf' lJohn Suttonj One thing I have gotten from school is a great apprecia- tion of teachers. lPaul Piettej Besides the basics - reading, writing, etc. - lthink that school has taught me responsibility, independence, and respect. lLori Woldenj I have learned how to focus my attention on one particular thing and really concentrate on it from my classroom experi- ences. lBridget Kobej I learn more in math, and English, and science, and they are going to help a lot later on in life. lJohn Smrcinaj In history and chemistry, I learn a lot, but I think Compos- ition will help me most later on in life because you can't go on without grammar. lAnn Fteindersj In chemistry, I think I learn the most. This class will help out in getting into the college I want. lWendy Wadej Classes in school that are designed for later life, and classes that are more challenging are better than easy classes that do not require a lot of work. lMike Lammj I think that math courses are the most important because you will need to use the math that you learn for the rest of your life. iBrian Boernesj School is a learning situation. You not only learn facts, but the atmosphere of school has taught me how to cope and deal with people. In fact, school has reinforced the morals that I have learned outside of school, from church and from my family. iCaroI Dannebrinkj I learn a lot in classes like Composition because the atmosphere is good in there. lChuck Olsenj I learned how to play field hockey, and I also learned that I hate Geometry. lKim Lowdenj Not only have I learned a lot academically, but l've learned how to get along with different people. lDenise Toussaintj The best class is Creative Writing because I like writing and I have met some students that have become friends. llrene Lodzinskij I think that you learn the most from other students, but you also learn a lot from the teachers. lAudrey Greskowiakj l've learned that you pick your electives by the teacher 16 f Learning who teaches it, and mostly, the subject. lAmy Davelj I have learned that at school you have to do things when you really do not want to. lLori Engeswickj SchooI has a great deal to offer to the student who wishes to learn, both academically and socially, but to me, it is not a great enough challenge, and therefore I do not go at it with the eagerness that l should. lMark Jennisonj ln high school I learned: that disco music is bad for the human heart, that the solunar tables are a fascinating fact rather than a fishy fluke, and that a 3.9 GPA does not consti- tute a scholarly trait. Most of all, the motto of all true students should be Veni vidi vici, meaning I came, I saw, I con- quered. lJohn Puchnerj Q11 Senior Brian Wayner studies in the Brookfield Central library. The library provides many books and other sources from which the students can research. l2j Learning the practical skill of selling, senior Lisa Bourdo shows some of the lastest fashions to a customer at Susie's Casuals.
