Q Now that we are potential alumni, we look back over our four years on! hlgh school with her at the helm. We realize that no one could have better guided and helped us fight and wln our struggles for success than she who was friend as well as sponsor. She not only stuck with our class through thick and thin, but devoted most ot her spare time in helping to make the projectswe attempted a success. She chaperoned our class picnics and dances, and directed all our class plays, leading us twice to victory in the Annual One Act Play Contests. It was through her diligence and effort that this annual was published. Inappreciation off all she has done for us,we, the class of nineteen hundred and forty seven, do dedicate this edition of the EAGLET to our class sponsor, MISS ELIZABETH RAUP T Q 1 1 cfIt9'?lf '7f' E 'exam al ,. E nun SCHUUL Brooklyn Village School grew from several one room schools to a central- ized school opened in 1924. It was staffed with a high school faculty ln 1930, and more classrooms, a library, and a gymnasium were added in 1939. In the summer of 1946 the school was again busy with growing pains. This time it was the addition of a new cafeteria and dining room, and three new classrooms. These were built on the northwest corner of the building.. Also in 1946, soil was broken for Brooklyn High Schoo1's own athletic field, and although the field was not ready for competitive use in the 1946-47 school year, the school which had produced a commty champion track team the year be- fore with only surroundlng streets for practice, made the new track available to its boys for practice use. Continual growth in size of enrollment and curriculum is anticipated, and plans have already been drawn for a new elementary school 'to be built within the next few years on Roadoan Road. The 194 7 class is the fifte enth to be graduated from the school. Mr. Iohn K. Nieman Mr. Clarence L. Rice H. S.

The members of the Class of 1947 wish to express their appreciatlon to the very deserving members ofthe faculty, whose understanding and interest in the students has given them a better outlook on the education front. Because they realize the importance of extra curricular actlvitiesfor developing well roxmd- ed personalities and a full education, an important part of their work has been outside the formal classroom. Mr. Nieman, in addition to being high school principal, was coach of the track team. Mrs. Corey was co-advisor of the 8th grade homeroom. Mr. Eldridge assisted with basketball games, keeping score. He was also co-advisor for the 'Zth grade homeroom. Miss Hurst was advisor ofthe llth grade homeroom, and with her art class- es, did the art work for school activities and programs.

We thought we were good and ripe, all set to jump into the swing of high school life! With Bud Filbln as class president, our first opportunity for extra curricular activity was the school's Annual Carnival. We operated a most successful night club. Who would have guessed that our dimly lit, beautifully decorated club was originally the industrial arts shop? Then, thrill of thrills! We, the freshmen, walked proudly off with the plaque for the One Act Play Contest. Our play, The Tantrum , starred Joe Adam in a never-to-be-forgotten performance. We celebrated our victory with a party ln the home economics room -- dead fish and all! As sophomores, under they leadership of our new president, Gordon Group, we sponsored a turkey raffle at the Carnival Con the Q. T. undergraduates, it proved to be a real money making venture.J Our skating party at the Rollercade was lots of fun even for those who forgot their pillows. Again we tried for the plaque in the One Act Play Contest, with the play, Last Flight Over . Well, we're good losers, too, but we resolved to try harder next time. Our class picnic that year was a bit chilly--the weather, that is, but oh, what fun! Up came our junior year. What a wonderful life we led. For the Carnival, we shared another successful turkey raffle with the sophomores. We also made and sold waffles and sponsored a ping pong toss. And' we won--guess what? Yes, the Che Act Play Contest! Compelling and tender per- formances of Gordon Group, Mary Eaton, Irene Novak, and Jerry Christner, with a comedy bit played by Carl Wiegand, made I Shall Be Waiting our winner. Our juniorrclass play was the hilarious comedy, The Doctor Has A Daughter. Lois McCormick, as the daughter, with Janet Kercher as her friend and accomplice and Doug Dorner, who had difficulty keeping up with her and football, too, kept the audience in stitches. Her distracted parents were portrayed by Lucille Eredish and Gordon Group,wlth Kathy lame s, Valerie Buk, Grace Daley, John Wellman, and Ed Zielke in comedy character roles. The biggest event of the year was yet to come--our junior-Senior Prom. We entertained the seniors with a dhmer-dance at the Ridgewood Country Club. Music was by Peter Piper's Orchestra. A class picnic at Sandy Beach on Portage Lake brought us to the close of our third year in high school and the right to be called Seniors . y This time we'll fool you. No, we didn't have a turkey raffle at the Carnival. But our white pig caused lots of excitement and brought us a neat profit. We enjoyed a class party at the Russian Hall with dancing, games, and what the boys like most ---- plenty of food. We put lots of hard work into the preparation for our Yuletide Ball , and the combined effect of the huge lighted Christmas Trees, the bandstand, and the canopy of blue and white twisted crepe paper was beautiful. With the juniors we co-sponsored a performance of the Range Riders and a series of Saturday night dances. Our One Act Play was the dramatic Fright , starring Gordon Group and Jerry Chrlstner with Lucille Eredish, Janet Kercher, and Al Hadlck in supporting roles. Although their per- formance was excellent, they relinquished the plaque to the freshmen --history does repeat itself -- congratulations, freshmen ! Crowded into the last month of our last year were the thrills of the senior class play, the fun Kdlgnlfied, of course 0 of Senior Day, the big night of the Junior-Senior Prom, the nostalgic joy of our last senior get-together, and then the sad yet happy nights orf Baccalaureate and Commencement. Are our twelve school years really over? How did they fly by so fast? No more readin', 'ritin', or 'rithmetic in our beloved B. H. S. WE'RE ALUMNI NOW!

HUIIUH SUUIETU Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service--these, the four principles of the National Honor Society were the qualifications on which Janet Kercher and Irene Novak inl946, and Edith Duley and Beverly J1mker1nl947,were ratedby the members of the facul- ty for election to the Brooklyn Chapter of this organization. Character is the power that makes great men famous, because in the end, they are judgedbywhat they are rather thanby whatthey have done. Scholarship is the goal for which each high school student strives because know- ' . ledge is necessary for the highest success. To meet - A scholarship requirements for membership a student , I must be in the upper fourth of his class with the fol- 5 jf psp lowing point averages: sophomore, 3.25g junior,3g ' 4' f senior, 2.75. Leadershipin school life is demon- stratedby holding atficesin clubs or classes and by actlve participation in the schools extra-curricular activities. Service to others should give much per- sonal happiness. Everyone has duties to others as well as to himself, and he can shirk neither. . The emblem ofthe National Honor Society is the Keystone and the Torch which at its base bears the four initial letters of these principles, C.S.L.S. A key of the Society is awarded each new member during the impressive initiation ceremony.

Through the help of Mrs. Wenger, Brooklyn's students have had the opportunity to select books for study and pleasure. Books are transferred to our llbrary by the Cuyahoga County Branch Library. The school has also pur- chased many books and is proud of the shelves that are so neatly filled. There has been a Library Club for four years. The purpose is pleasure, but the members are also trained to help students select books. The officers oi the Library Club are: president, Gilbert Hansong vice-president, Mary Haineg secretary, Shirley Birdsellg treasurer, Rita Vaughng and program chairman. Rosemary Frey.

In witness whereof,we, the members of the class of 1947 have set our hands and seal hereto this third day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty-seven 119471. I class PRUPHECUE To celebrate the completion of his new real estate project, Mr.Douglas Dorner, a big agent, has extended lnvltations to his classmates of the Brooklyn Village Class of 1947 to gather for a reunion in the boomtown, Dornerville, U.S.A., on this, the fifth of June, 1957. Having met Grace Daley, his private secretary, inthe reception roomorfhis spacious offices, Mr. Dorner asks her to accompany him through the town to see who has arrived. Inqulring as to the nature of the disturbance at the Dornerville Garage, they find manager Pete Lucldanow arguing with his assistant, John Babarcsik, about being rude to some pros- pective customers. It seems that Ruth Bauer and Dorothy Hajovsky, co-owners of the Riotous Riding Academy, wanted to know if they shod horses at the garage, and Johnnie insulted them. Laughing this incident off, Mr. Dorner and Grace proceed on their tour,when a swift breeze shoots past. What's that? cries Grace. It's Al Hadick, a playboy at last, chasing the girls all over Dornervllle in his 1957 convertible. Their progress is further impeded by the arrival of a telegraph messenger. Well,wou1dn't you know it, exclaims Mr. Dorner as he reads the cablegram. Bud Fflbin can't be with us. He says he's stranded on a South Sea Island with a blond. Continuing on their way past the Federal Bank of Dornerville, Radio Station D.B.C., The Dornervllle Theater, and Doug's Hats, Mr. Dorner and Grace meet their head bookkeeper, Valerie Buk, who asks if she may put off some of her work until tomorrow, because she simply has to dash over to Edith Smith's Beauty Salon for a shampoo and wave. Mr. Dorner, good natured as always, gives his consent. As they approach Noval-:'s Delicatessen, Grace suggests that they ask Irene to join them. They flnd her trying to decide whether or not a banana split will ruin her figure. She agrees to join them later at the Reunion Ball. Evening comes, and Mr. Dorner and Grace are givena warm reception atthe spacious home of the prominent Dornervllle socialite, Katherine James. She shows them into the ballroom and they begin to greet their guests. The ballroom is humming with activity. Most of the class members have arrived and are renewing old friendships. Ted Jablonowski is celebrating his appointment as coach of the Dornervllle University foot- ball team, and John Thomas his recent national badminton championship, but two cablegrams arrive, taking the athletic limelight to another part of the world. Butch Mazey has just swum gme. English Channel, and Carl Wiegand is at this very moment participating in the Olympic ames. Janet Kercher, a well known chemist with a startling new cure for typist's nerves , asks Mr. Dorner lf he knows what has become of Lucille Eredish. Why, haven't you heard? he replies. The Folger twins have teamed up with Bob O'Malley, and are operating abig chaln of Super Markets. Lucille is their head superintendent. In another corner of the ballroom, Pat Eiben is autographing copies of her recent best- seller, Eternally Indigo , while Gordon Group is debating whether to accept, the offer of a contract with a Hollywood Studio or to take the lead opposite Lois McCormick in a Broadway stage show. Now the attention of everyone is turned to the dance floor, for Mary Eaton, the model whose picture has appeared on many leading magazines, :ls being crowned Miss Dornerville of l957 . The crowd cheers, and Jerry Christner, the well known crooner of radio, stage, and screen, sings a tribute to her. A floor show follows, with a roller skating exhibition by world famous Oranell Craven. Far into the night the party continues, with dancing to the music of Johnnie Wellman and his Dornervllle Debonairs. HUTUGHHPHS . 'F '
