s....1r,..,-- vwrv- v ,?i7 , . 11. -1 I At an early date our class was organized. In the past, Robert Bailey had fulfilled his duty as president so efficiently that we again chose him as our president. Ingrid Persson was elected vice-president: Tom Pillifant, treasurer, and Lois Coppage, secretary, for a third term. Red and white were chosen as our class colors, a red rose, our class flower, and our motto, Our Aim, Success: Our Hope, to Win. Miss McConnell and Mr. Martin were chosen as our advisors. The annual Hallowe'en party was successful as were the dances sponsored by the Senior class, but the Junior-Senior banquet was our greatest social event. Football proved to be a highlight for us with five members on the squad. Those on the football team from our class were: Pearman, Bailey, Ledbetter, Detelich and Riley. Pearman, Bailey, Ledbetter and Johnson made the basketball team. We revealed our dramatic ability in the Junior Play, Guess Again, which was very successful. Last September seventy-three returned to hold the title of full- fledged Seniors. We organized immediately, selecting the following officers: Robert Bailey, president, Amos Biondy, vice-president, Roy Johnson, secretaryg James Gill, treasurer. Blue and White were chosen for our class colors: the white rose bud as our flower: our motto, Build for Character, not for Fame. Miss Reeser and Mr. Koppel were chosen as class advisors. In athletics this year the football team was supported by Bailey, Ledbetter, Pearman, and Riley. Bailey, Ledbetter, Pearman, and Johnson made the basketball team. Again this year our dramatic ability was displayed in a startling mystery, The Green Light, which was well presented and received. Several Seniors were given roles in the Minstrel presented by the Mixed Chorus. So, after exploring thoroughly the dense jungles of Brookfield High for four years, and with our diplomas clasped in our hands fa reward for our successl, we regretfully bid farewell to old Brook- field High. -CATHERINE MISHORICH

THE CLASS HISTORY In September, 1931, a group of one hundred forty-three green ex- plorers entered the jungles of Brookfield High School in search of Edu- cation. In order to undertake this new and thrilling adventure, we needed capable guides. Our first class meeting was held, and we elected the following to guide us: Robert Bailey, president, Roy Johnson, vice-president, Lois Coppage, secretary, and Paul Kiefer, treasurer. Maroon and white were chosen as our class colors, and the white carnation for our class flower, and as our class motto, A Winner never Quits, and a Quitter never Wins. The Hallowe'en party was our first social gathering. There was a call for sports, and we yielded from our class, Led- better for football, and Bailey, Johnson, Pearman, Zamaria, and Detelich for basketball. Hosack, Riley, Pillifant, Yohman, and Biondy made the debate team. Time moved on. and soon we had passed a term in school. We enjoyed ourselves under The Tree of Pleasure for three months. Then we returned to the jungles as a changed class of explorers, a group of dignified and outstanding Sophomores. With Robert Bailey as president, James Gill as vice-president, Lois Coppage as secretary, and Inez Gunsley as treasurer, we were again a prominent class, al- though we had decreased in number. Our flower was the lily-of-the- valley, our class colors black and white, and our class advisor, Mr. Gault and Miss Woods. Our class motto was, Fortune Favors the Brave. There were two social events we enjoyed this year: the Hallowe'en party and a Valentine dance. Taking a more outstanding part in the field of sports than that of the previous year, we had the following representatives in football: Bailey, Detelich, Ledbetter, Houston, Mitchell, Meyers, Loomis, and Zamaria. Detelich and Ledbetter received letters. Bailey, Johnson, Pearman, Zamaria, and Ledbetter were on the basketball team, Ledbetter and Pearman were lettermen. Coppage, Hartsky, Krzyzanowski, Yanko and Mahanovic of the fairer sex equally upheld the girls' team. Kathryn Hromyak was the only one to take part in literary events. She gave an interpretative reading. Another year drew to a close, but after an enjoyable vacation we were only too eager to be back again in the well-known jungle to begin our Junior year.
