THE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Wanted! Recruits for Brookfield High School. Qualifications-Must be eighth grade stud-ents from Stevenson or Addison School or nearby surrounding schools! . Outside a great red brick building scattered about in small groups, stood one hun- dred forty new members to be enlisted into this great army, better known as Brookfield High School. After having registered, we, with the usual confusion, elected officers of our division. We elected as Captain fPresidentJ Harold Edwards, Co-Captain fVice Presidentl Ruth Coutsg Scribe fSecretaryl Katherine Jonesg and as our Treasurer, Gladys Reese. Blue and silver were chosen as class colors, and the white rose bud was chosen as our class fiower. Being but plebes, our activities were limited to the annual Ha1lowe'en party. We were amply represented in sports as well as in music and other activities. Very soon our first year in high school was ended, and we eagerly looked forward to our neyt year when we would enter still as lower classmen, yet with more influence in school activities than we had during the previous year. We gladly entered our training at the close of our vacation. Soon after entering, we selected as our able Commander fPresidentJ Harold Edwards, whose staff was: Lieu- tenant Commander fVice-Presidentj Geron Persson, Scribe fSecretaryJ Katherine Jones, and Treasurer, Tony Aiello. We selected as our class colors, black and white, and the lily-of-the-valley as our flower. The motto which we chose was, We build for the future and not for the past. The Hallowe'en Party was our greatest event of the year. The more athletic members of our class were prominent in sports while still more members took part in musical and literary events. Now we were about to enter upon our first year as being upper classmen. It was indeed a great thrill to feel that we no longer had to feel inferior to the older students. To guide us through this very important term of our training, we elected the following officers: Commander fPresidentJ Stanley Dunbar, Lieutenant Commander fVice-Presi- dentj Harold Edwards, Scribe fSecretaryD Katherine Jones, and as our Treasurer, George Hartman. For this year's colors, red and white were chosen, while a red rose bud reigned as our class Hower. We chose The past forever gone, the future still our own, as our class motto. As before we dominated all other classes in the field of sports, besides contributing our share of participants in other activities. We tossed our hat into the social whirl this year by first staging a gay and spooky Hallowe'en party. We surprised our associates by producing our class play. We wound up our social activities by acting as host to the seniors at the junior and senior banquet. Throughout the three years of rigid training fmany?J of the original group dropped out for various reasons. We found, as we enlisted for our last and most important year, that but ninety-five had survived and were ready and eager to plunge into this last term of our training. For our leaders, we elected as Captain fPresidentJ Harold Edwards, Co-Captain fVice-Presidentj Leo Donato, Scribe fSec1-etaryj Katherine Jones, and Treas- urer, George Hartman. We chose black and white as colors, and the white rose bud as our flower. We chose, We've crossed the bay, but the ocean lies before us, for our motto. Our main events consisted of the annual Hallowe'en Party, the junior-senior banquet, the senior play, and the minstrel. Again we were active in the field of sports, as well as in literary events. Now, having completed our four-year course of training, we leave with deep regret and admiration for Brookfield High, for destinations unknown. --DALE C OPPAGE
