What soever things are lovely, what so ever things are of good report, if there he any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. In September 1942, our ambitious and enthus- iastic senior class of today, began life as any other freshman class would, with a feeling of ignorance and awe upon entering the sacred realms of Brook- port High. However, the upper classmen soon made us feel at home and we set out to make a name for ourselves. Our forty-three members were guided by Mr. Garrett and the following officers: Aubrey Henley, President, Billy Reynolds, Secretary-Treasurer. The sophomore year began with thirty-two mem- bers and Mr. Giltner for adviser. Class officers: Nancy Anne Barton, Presidentg Tony Grace, Vice- President, Willie Mae Lester, Secretaryg Edwin Rus- sell, Treasurer. We regarded our sophomore year with pride be- cause of successful activities, parties, one act play, Father Time, outstanding honors in Softball, Bas- ketball, Magazine Drive, and the Fourth War Loan. By popular votes of students, Nancy Barton and Billy Reynolds were selected the best looking in high school. Jolly Juniors, yes, twenty-eight achieved such an honor! Billy Reynolds volunteered for Army Air Corps, and Russell Kerr enlisted in the Maritime Service. Miss Jones was our able adviser. Class officers: Regina Waynick, Presidentg Margie Lee Faughn, Vice-Presidentg Vera Gower, Secretary, Virginia Neely, Treasurer. As we grew and progressed in high school, we as- sumed more responsibilities. One very successful event was our play, Leave It To Grandma, which was capably directed by Mrs. Barton. Our boys were winners in the Inter-Class Tournament which was c l P. G. Gower's last game before answering Uncle Sam's call. Then followed the enjoyable and beautiful ban- quet with An Old Fashion Garden theme. With the completion of these activities, we were reminded that only one more year remained for us in the realm of high school for pleasure and accomplishments. Dignified Seniors-years have we been dreaming of such a title! Class officers: Johnny Bobo, Jr., Presidentg Tony Grace, Vice-President, Dorothy An- gelly, Secretaryg Vera Gower, Treasurerf Mrs. Barton was our splendid adviser who called us her pride and joy class. To us, this has been the most enjoyable year of our lives. Our class was represented in Glee Club, Beta Club, Student Council, Home Makers' Club, Basketball, and Softball. The Whole Truth was considered by many as Brookport's best play, records showed the greatest cash receipts. We appreciated senior privileges granted, especial- ly did we enjoy Spellbound and The Bells of St. Mary's , which portrayed a wonderful lesson of faith and prayer. As we look back on our senior year, we do not feel that our efforts have been futile, however we realize that we failed to grasp many opportunities offered us. Although we feel sadness in leaving our Alma Mater we know that this parting must be the beginning of life's greatest adventure. Where ever we may go, Whatever we may do, To our class motto May we always he true. Unless God be with us, all labor is in vain MARGIE LEE FAUGHN, Historian MILDRED KAYLOR, Statistician Page fourteen V I, Virginia Neely, wish to use this beautiful old fashioned quilt as a symbol in making the class prophecy. There are flowers in some of the piecesg there are stripes and checks, and conventional de- signs. All the little intricate pieces put together make a finished product. But when this quilt is put into use, it will show the marks of time. Its beauty as a whole will not remain so. Some of the pieces, woven in more sturdy material will keep their original color and design, yet others will fade and wear out, some of the flowers will always be lovely and bright, but others will disappear. The quilt can be patched and mended, and even dipped into dye to brighten it again. If the quilt were stored away in some dark chest with moth balls, it might hold its color and form, but it would become a musty, stale old thing. Let us compare this quilt with the life of the Class of 1946. Our class is a beautiful thing! There has never been one exactly like it before. It is almost a finished product as far as the teachers are concerned, soon we get our diplomas. Think how young and new to the world, how bright and colorful are our hopes! We are together here like the pieces in this quilt. Soon we will set out and marks of time will change us. The beauty of our class as a whole will not remain so. Some of the class, made of more sturdy material will make a place in the world and weather all hardships in lifeg some will live flowery lives until the very endg but others will live gray and drab lives, and a few will give way entirely to the tear of life. A few will patch up their lives and start anew. Some of the class may sit at home, sheltered from the world, inactive, taking care of their precious selves. But if they do they will be musty old things hiding their talents. Let us now have a look in my sewing basket. I have been associating with my classmates for some Class Prophecy ar time, and I have picked up little pieces of information about them. I have heard little scraps of conversation and gathered little bits of personality which tell what the future is for this class. This piece of bright yellow, Vernon and Bertran brought me. It is symbolical of their lives-bright and sunshinyg full of hope and promise, as the rising sun is their career on the farm. These flowered pieces, Mary, Nancy, and Alma Lee cut from their dressesg may their lives as house- wives be just as flowered. Wayne gave me this checked scrap. He will live a checkered life, a Jack-of-all-trades, but he has been a handy man about school and around town. He is bound to be a great help to Uncle Sam. Behold this lavender! It has the essence of deli- cate perfume and old lace. Yes, Vera gave it to me. I fear that she is going to be an old maid and favor this delicate shade of lavender. This red, how suggestive of Willie and Louiseg some day they will wear flaming uniforms as they coach cheerleaders in outstanding high schools of the world. This black, oh yes, it is a sample Bobo brought me. It is like the long tails which he will wear when he and Barbara walk down the aisle in The Little Church Around the Corner. Here's some white for a nurse's uniform whi h suggests Elaine, who will don a uniform when sie becomes superintendent of the nursery. These little bits of gray were given to me by Billie and Charles. It suggests the wing of an in- nocent dove. May they be great peace makers in their ministerial work. This khaki is reminding us of Tony, Edwin, and Roland who chose the Army. The navy blue sug- gests the business workers, Margie Lee, Margie and Regina who will be responsible secretaries. This beautiful pink scrap came from Odessa's new uniforms for her beauty parlor. This soft blue suggests the quietness of Dolores, the school secretary, who knows many secrets but tells none. Mildred and Dorothy cling to the gorgeous greens while they design beautiful costumes. The sporty brown plaid suggests Robert R. and his pleasing personality. No- Clothes do not make the man but they surely make him more at- tractive. Classmates, may each little scrap in this Senior quilt, symbolizing your futures, maintain its bright hue and original design and last forever and a day.

Especially, would we mention the Junior Class play, Free Advice, and the junior-Senior Banquet. We are proud of the members of our class who ex- celled in the field of athletics this year.

No longer Green Freshmen, we have now attained the title of Silly Sophomores.

We can't begin to tell you how proud we are of the Sophomore basketball team, which took the honors of inter-class tournamentg but after all, why shouldn't we, with two first team players like Ray Cook and Jimmie Martin. During the year the class enjoyed a Wiener roast, Hallowe'en and Valentine parties, at which everyone had a grand time. The class entertained at Christmas with a play Christmas House.

GILTNER In the beginning of the nineteen hundred and forty- sixth year of our Lord, in the ninth month and on the fifth day of the month. there entered into the land of learning, twenty and seven seekers of knowledge. Some came up from the eighth grade where they had for many months, been busily engaged in storing their minds with the honey of wisdom and some were green and fresh from a far country. And it came to pass, as they did enter this land, that they were received with welcomings and rejoicings by those who it was decreed, should henceforth lead them up slippery by-ways of knowledge. Likewise, it came to pass that they were received with malicious glee by a certain band of wild beings called Sophomores, and who, because of their fierce taste for freshman blood, did harass and haze them daily and did cause them to suffer great things. Many and successful were the activities during this year--parties, dramatics, and outstanding salesmanship in magazine and victory bond drives. As they dwelt long in the land, they fell in with the customs of the inhabitants thereof, and their strangeness wore away, and they each became as one among the rest. S0 endeth the freshman year with great pride and ambition.

Methodist Church, Brookport, Illinois Friday, May 10, 1946 Thus read the invitation to the Seniors, Faculty, and Juniors of Brockport High School, to carry them back to the Land of Tulips for an exciting evening of memories. The tulips, windmills, and Dutch treat provided a proper setting for the formal frolic of little Dutch girls and boys. Dutch Treat CMenuj Dutch Breezes fFruit Juice Cocktailj Dutchman's Delight Oars fBaked Hamj fGreen Beansj Holland Gardens Holland Beets fFresh Tomatoesj Dutch Girl's Favorite fPotato Saladj fStuffed Olivesj Dikes QI-Iot Rollsj Sea Foam Holland Pudding QIce Creamy fCakej Tea TOASTS To the arm of the windmill. QThe Seniorsj May you, the Senior Class of 1946, always be the top arm of the windmill, no matter which way the wind may blow. S0 we bring Tulips. fThe Facultyj You are to the student body as Tulip time is to the seasons. You are harbingers of good cheer and hope for the sunny day ahead. The Little Dutch Mill. fThe Schoolj Like a mill our School turns on and on, may each piece of machinery always be well kept for full speed ahead. Boating on the Canals. fSeniors Exitj May we liken the Canals to the hall and classrooms of our beloved high school to which we now say: Auf Wirdershehn. Flying Dutchman. fToastmasterj. I am listed as the Flying Dutchman, but before I fly I want to say: May we never forget the Little Dutch Mill which is our High School and may the Windmill keep turning until we meet again.

It is the only sport that is purely American in origin, and it attracts more participants than any other game. There is no elaborate equipment requiredg you can play it in any barn-lot or school yard, as well as in a beautiful gymnasium. It is great sport both to players and spectators. The Brookport Bulldogs had a nice year. They won games and they lost games, but all of that goes with basketball and life. Their sportsmanship was highly compli- mented. Coach Howard Trampe taught and drilled them to be good sports regardless of the score. The Bulldogs wish to express their thanks to Mr. Garrett for his help in various ways, especially for arranging schedule and transportation.
