1955 - 56 A Year Democracy In Action HIGH SCHOOL SECRETARY Marilyn Steinard Rosenberger HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Mr. George McKinney The theme of the 1956 Brooklet, Our VV ay of Life, corresponds very well with the thoughts that guide the general administration of Brookville High School. The year 1955-56 saw the continuation of our democracy in action experiment. In our school there is a general feeling of: Cal Mutual respect between teachers and students for the thoughts and rights of each other. Chl Respect for the moral and spiritual values of all groups. fel Respect for the property of others. fdl Respect for other schools in athletic endeavor. and in as far as the schools as a whole are concerned. The basis of discipline in Brookville High School is self control on the part of the individual. Of course. as in any democracy, when some few do not practice self control there must be rules set up to protect the rights of all. In practically all cases situations are ex- plained to our student body, and they by their actions determine the course of action taken. Our Student Councils and our Ethics Committee are made up of student representatives, chosen by secret ballot, and they by their deeds and actions are able to suggest courses of action that are beneficial to the school. The cooperation displayed by all individuals concerned with our school in 1955-56 has made the year one to remember. VVe have had democracy taught and lived, while at the same time we have had the pleasures that go with achieving the worthwhile facts of knowl- edge that are so essential in our way of life. Prin.

The Administration SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS MrQ Charles L. Zuck s They Made -.J www.. BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Urban J. Selm, Dr. Harry E. Ritter, Mr. Lawrence E. Sheets, Mr. Carl C. Hofer, and Mr. Michael L. Bohland. Our Way Uf Life .A-XDMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY Miss Mary Lorenz Possible The theme of this year book is indeed timely since we hear so much of the L'American VVay of Life. It is, in the opinion of most Americans, the best way of life to be found anywhere, but it falls far short of perfection. Practically everything that is done in the schools has as its aim the improvement of our way of life. linprovement of physical plant facilities, increases in salary schedule, enrichment of curriculum, all have a common aim: to provide an increasing number of young people with the training needed to guarantee them a more effective and a happier life, and give our country a better informed citizenry. During the year just past some things have been accomplished to help in the realization of the aims indicated. Plans have gone forward during the year for a physical education plant and other classrooms and it is hoped that construction will be under way by the time this book is published. The salary schedule has been revised upward in an attempt to keep this school competi- tive in attracting good teachers. The course of study has been revised to some extent to provide a richer offering and a new position has been authorized by the Board, a dean of girls who will also head up a full guidance program. Supt. Charles L. Zuek. Eight
