HIGHLIGHTS 0F HISTORY In the year nineteen hundred and forty-three, while our country was struggling in a great battle, called World War II, one hundred and twen- ty eager youths entered Brookfield High School as freshmen. We soon became organized, electing the following officers: Frank Kalvoda, presidentg Jennie Nosek, vice-presidentg Barbara Lou Christy, secretaryg and Chester Sherman, treasurer. Our colors were scarlet and gray, and our flower, the pink rosebud. True to our motto, Always Willing, never failing, we made a good start in that new era and came through a very successful year. The next year we returned as sophomores and chose the following officers: Jack Donaldson, presidentg Vincent Harshman, vice-presidentg Bernice Escover, secretaryg and Barbara Neral, treasurer. Conquer was our motto, green and white were our colors, and the white rosebud was our flower. Such interesting pastimes as football, basketball, and dancing filled that year, With many of the students from our class participating in the activities. The next year we returned as Juniors, very proud to be upper class- IYIQII. The leaders this year were Edward Ghizzoni, presidentg Raymond Davies, vice-president, Bernice Escover, secretary, and Charles Kali- nich, treasurer. Our motto was Always willing, never failing, launch our ship and keep on sailing. Our class colors were blue and white, and our flower was the pink rosebud. We enjoyed more football, basketball and other activities, but most important were our class play, Don't Take My Penny , Junior-Senior Prom, and Class Day. Our officers during the Senior year were Edward Ghizzoni, presi- dentg George Young, vice-president, Bernice Escover, secretary, and Jack Donaldson, treasurer. Our class colors, motto, and flower re- mained the same. Mrs. Morris and Mr. Edwards were our advisers. The class play, the Night of January Sixteenth proved a huge success. Who can ever forget the Tax Levy Parade in which most of the seniors took part? Remember the Homecoming Game and Dance when Peggy Hughes reigned as Pigskin Queen and Bonnie Jones and Dora Mae Cleveland served as attendants? The senior class of forty-seven will look back with pleasure to the Junior-Senior Prom and a little sadly to commencement. We are leaving Brookfield High, but not alone. With us We will carry fond memories of football and basketball games, of dances and parties, and also of you. STELLA YASHNIK.
