Could we ever forget our first day at school! Most of us came with our mothers and fathers, like Mary's little lamb, and when they left, we stood around looking like Little Bo Peep's lost sheep. After a while, we were ushered into Miss Magee's,Miss Stewart's and Mrs. Bee's rooms. There we learned how to spell a few simple words and write our names. By the second, year we had made many new friends and didn't feel so alone. This was the year our little red school house was torn down and we,went to the Methodist Church for school. This winter we had the big snow! Boy! Did we have funl We had about a week's holiday, but there was a catch, we had to make it up on Saturdays. That year we had Miss Clark, Miss Granberry and Miss Graham, who struggled along trying to teach us the three R's. Now we were in the third grade and had gotten into the full swing of school life. This was the year we were able to take our books home overnight. We were so happy because we had home- work! Can you imagine being happy over something like homework? Miss Priebatsch, Miss Daniels and Miss Jones finally drilled a fair amount of the multiplication tables into us. , - The fourth grade was the year we had our May fete when we got out of school every afternoon to practice. The fete was a big success and we had a wonderful time practicing for it. This was the year we all started buying war bonds and stamps. Every week we would aU try to buy two or three. ln this grade Miss Harris, Mrs. Steve Smith and Miss Wallace gave us our first taste of Geography. ln the fifth grade we had a wonderful time giving the puppet shows under Miss Hendrick's direction. Miss Namie and Miss Douglas also helped make that year a success. The sixth grade was another especially to be remembered, in that year we had three teachers and got to change classes. Under Miss Nutt's guidance we learned not only English but the bad influ- ence of alcohol. Miss Burt tried to drill a little Math into some of our thick heads. Mrs. Wales taught us how to write the Palmer Method. Will we ever forget all the songs we sang while doing push-Dulls and ovals? Now we come to some of the best years in our school life. The seventh grade was a little bit strange to us. Everybody seemed so old and we felt about as scared as Miss Muffett when she saw her friend the spider. This year we had many teachers. Mrs. Seavey, Miss Davis, Mrs. McNair, Coach Therrell and Miss Greenway all tried to help us along the road to education. By the time we entered the eighth grade, we had got used to high school life and its many activities. We started taking in- terest in all the football games and pep meetings each Friday. Mrs. Short, Miss Daily, Mrs. Malvaney all tried to prepare us for the four years of high school. Lowly little freshmen were we in the ninth grade. That year we weren't allowed to be initiated because of a new ruling. I think most of the girls were disappointed, but the boys were secretly happy over their stroke of luck which kept them from being stroked behind. The Sophomore year was rather exciting, for we had snow again that year. It didn't stay on the ground very long, but for the brief time that it was there, we threw enough snowballs to make up for the long time it hadn't snowed. Now in 1948 we were Jolly Juniors. The two highlights of this year were selecting our class rings and the Junior-Senior Banquet. We felt so proud when our rings came in that we went around showing them to everybody in school. We worried and worked so hard over the banquet that we were dead tired when the big night came. But when we saw the result of all our work, we forgot how tired we were. Forty-niners will always recall back-aches and great fun. Now we are sophisticated Seniors, only l don't feel sophisti- cated, do you? This year has been just wonderful. We had so much fun at the football games, even though we did have to work. Home- coming was such a big success that we hope that the Senior Classes in years to come will keep it up. Other things that added very much to our Senior year were the Senior parties, Spoken English plays, Senior Class play, Senior Class Day. All of these contributed toward making this the most wonderful year of our high school days. As we, the Seniors of 1950, leave OIe Brook, we want to express our deepest gratitude to Mr. Lipsey, Mr, Roach, and the faculty who have done so much to make our school days the hap- piest years of our lives. We only hope that the Seniors of the future have as many happy memories as we are carrying with us as we leave Brookhaven lfgh School, JAN ALFORD Class Historian :sw-.ut V. 521' i V 1 A 1 JAN ALFORD Class Secretary 45 Vice-presi- dent Teen Tavern 45 Teen Tav- ern Council 35 Star Club 45 Glee Club l, 3, 45 Sextet 35 Quartet 45 F.H.A. 25 Asst.

Not Pictured: ERNEST BLAISE CLIFTON HEMPHILL RICHARD SMITH IIIASS PIIIIPHIIIY FATHER GOOSE LOOKS INTO THE FUTURE One dark and dreary night as I lay upon my little trundle bed reading Mother Goose rhymes, I grew drowsy and nodded Over the book. Just as it closed and was about to drop from my hand, I heard a voice shouting from within the pages. Let me out! Let me out! I snapped awake and opened the book to the page from which the voice seemed to be coming. To my great amazement, there stood a little man not six inches high with a long white beard, which trailed out all over the page. Hi, Son, said he. You don't know me, do you? l'm Father Goose, Old Mother Goose's husband. She keeps me shut up in the book because I can tell fortunes and see into the future. She knows that I'll be more popular than she if I ever get out. But you've let me free at last, and because you have, I'll do something for you. What do you want to know? I can answer any- thing because I can see into the future. I sat there with my mouth open in amazement, but finally having collected my wits, I said, Thank you, Old Father Goose. Yes, there is something I would like to know. I have a group of friends who are finishing high school this year, and l'd like to know what they will be doing ten years from now. Hand me the list, son, and lend me your ears, and you'II find out, said Father Goose. He pulled some brown-rimmed spectacles from under his beard, adjusted them on his thin little nose, gazed at the list and in a thin squeeky voice began to speak. Let me see, said my bearded friend, as I look into the future of these proud Seniors I see many great names and distin- guished looking people. First of all, I see that your fine class president, Bradley POPG, has achieved the limelight as the nation's number one orchestra leader. John Earl Bobbit is leading Brad's saxophone section.

Donald Foster is still pitching baseball for the New York Yankees, and the catcher who has meant so much to his success is Bean-ball Ben Jones. Jimmy Casanova Becker has the lead role in a Broadway Musical entitled That Whitworth Kid. Dolores Kern has settled down on a farm with Denver Gene and they are now raising champion-ship milk cows.

Wild Willie Wooley and Kenneth Troubadore Butler are touring Europe with their famous hillbillie band and are notorious for their version of That Good Old Mountain Dew.

They have both grown one inch since their days at B. H. S. Dorothy Case Lewis is still a stay-at-home girl. Jane Woods has written another book, How to Win Men and Influence Males. Dale Linton is a captain at dear old Chamberlain Hunt and has the situation well in hand. Victor Day and Bill Williams have broken all records as fast talkers, both hold fine positions as tobacco auctioneers. The Super-Drive In out on new Sl is due to the hard work of its proprietor, Nancy Williams. Boys, Lucas Boykin is now making wallets big enough to put your pin-up pictures in.

Y ul men who can you With that, the old man gave me a sharp smack across the fore- head: I waked up to find my head butting the edge of the table and Father Goose merely a dream.

Long to be remembered will be the days of hectic preparation, the good food, the effective decorations, the fun and fellow- ship, and last, but not least, Wild-Willie Wooley and his good old Moun- tain Dew Boys.

H. S. After weeks of preparation and hard work, the great day, November 4, 1949, arrived balmy and bright, altogether perfect for the occasion. Everyone, including faculty and royalty , worked feverishly all morning putting last minute touches on floats, decor- ating the halls and auditorium, icing drinks, and bagging peanuts for the ball game. Festivities started with the best parade Brook- haven had ever seen at three in the afternoon. This was followed by an auditorium program for alumni and visitors, ably presided over by President Bradley Pope. The featured speaker was the Honorable A. A. Cohn, and special recognition was given to alumni of B. H, S.'s earliest graduating classes. Next, open house was held in the library where refreshments were served, and old grads had the time of their lives remembering . At 7:45 p. m. came the coronation of Homecom- ing Queen, Margie Becker by Panther Co-captains Harol Lofton and Clifton Hemphill on King Field. Following this, came the perfect climax of Homecom- ing Day when thousands of fans saw the B. H. S. Panthers soundly defeat the Biloxi lndians in one of the best football games of the season. Tucked away in each senior's mind as one of the best memories of his final year at B. H. S. will be Homecoming Day, 1949. L J' x 1 Q 48556. W S. 1 ,L 4. II vp E1 in 4 ' r un I gm' w1'Hi Q a..

Class Floats Leading the long line of floats was the Junior High with its theme of the forthcoming Thaxsgiving season, with a number of pil- grims and Indians gathering together for that annual feast. The Freshman float was more -up to date and featured the Brookha- ven Panthers and the Biloxi In- dians. That afternoon one might have said they were very optimistic as it showed the Panthers in uni- form towering over the Indians, who in tribal dress, begged for mer- 1 5' a .5 M., ' It f +- -vkawp. r- 4 k ' 1 . 44Avt,,.,L .1-,.L.Jj . 4...

Red and blue was the color scheme of the Athletic float with members of the student body dis- playing the various sports offered the boys and girls at BHS. The Junior Class chose as their theme Valentino. The float was de- corated in red and white and fea- tured two rather young lovers sit- ting before a large red heart.
