We were fascinated by changing classes and thought ourselves grown-up ladies and gentlemen, but were soon termed mere “rats.’”’ The Sophomores invited us to a skating party that was real fun. We had many different sports that year in;which the more athletic freshman took part! Thus passed our Freshman year at B. H. S$! SOPHOMORE—Our number had decreased to seventy-two but the class was still eager and gay! Miss Whitlow and Miss Wilson were promoted with us. We became so ambitious that through the sale of hot dogs enough money was made to paint our homerooms. The Bee Club was organized and five dazed, but proud, sophomores were tapped as charter members. They were Rebecca Clowdis, Evelyn Nash, Charlotte Hutter, Selbert Myers and George Torian. We regretted losing our agriculture teacher, Mr. V. B. Cauley, to the. Army, but much to our delight, tall, lanky Mr. Holberton became a member of our high school faculty. Thus ended our Sophomore year! JUNIORS—Fifty-three strong, we started a gay, happy and busy year. Physical Education was loads of fun after we once got over our soreness. In December we gave the play, “Mammy’s Lil’ Wild ‘Rose.” With an original stage set by Thurman Sprouse and the supurb(?) acting of fourteen members of the class we thought we had something “super.” Then came April 30 with the Junior-Senior Banquet at the Y. M. C. A. May Day decorations, good food, good music, and a wonderful time! The greatest thrill came when we ordered our rings and personal cards. We couldn’t wait until fall when we would be Seniors. It seemed as though fall would never come. SENIORS—We realized at the very beginning that we were truly war- time Seniors, because so many of the dear familiar faces were missing and many more would soon go. We were Seniors, however, “high and mighty,” and just a little proud. A new homeroom teacher, Mrs. A. B. Powell, soon won our love and respect. A Halloween party was held to promote the sale of bonds and stamps and it went over with a bang. Arlene Nash has worn a slick path to the office with the same question each day. “Have the rings come yet?” The answer is always “no,” but we can still hope, can’t we? On March 14 the Juniors gave us a banquet, followed by a dance at the Oakwood Country Club. Everyone there looked his lovliest. That’s one evening we’ll never forget. “Boots and Her Buddies,” presented March 30, as the Senior play was a great success. There was such a crowd that some even had to be turned away. Lyman Johnson, as the “widow,” had all the boys raving. Six of our number have left to serve their country. Simon Bumgarner, Earl Dris- kill, Selbert Myers and David Burns are in the Navy. Max Brandt is in the Air Corps and Robert Hodges is in the Marines. Billy Tomes is doing defense work. We know that they are all doing a grand job. Our school days draw to an end but we will go on with our motto in mind, “Consider the past, pay attention to the present, look ahead to the future.” —Charlotte Hutter and Evelyn Nash, Class Historians. 2 0 rh Gon Se oo se BROOKVILLE THE | i] Ake 5 wee De� bir A Le wa. aAAs LL yd ae (9.N.S, DF Poi ako, wish, mand ' A ‘4, ype DAA wy ‘ er i { mi gMinn py — Ate io || oe | mw Aaeke in ig ret q, Se i Bh , _ ° 58 nt ‘Scie , Beers y : en if | . = t1) a | ae WY) mS ; y - at a i ag RS Hee ‘ « () Pls omfg ac : S ml ca oe .

I guess you keep pretty busy, but do you ever stop to think about Brookville? I still remember Miss Parker and Miss White struggling with one hundred of us as freshmen. I bet you don’t have any- one like either of them instructing in the Navy. How we did argue when the Bee Club was organized and freshmen were not eligible! The skating party the sophomores gave us was salve to our wounded feelings, but we were bruised and sore for days after. Remember what a trial math was? I'll bet more of our math was unknown than known. en ee ee Were you in Mr. Hick’s sophomore home-room? He pounded the desk then. (And he still does.) Miss Carlton’s sophomore class was always getting by with something but we never could. We really showed them how to bring in tin cans though, remember all those five hundred you brought in on the school bus? Sophomores really put that scrap drive across in a big way. st Nay Sa ee Didn’t we have fun producing “Girl Shy?” I can still hear Miss Whit- low say, “Think yourself into that part. Be Birdie La Verne.” And to think we did two performances! It was a real success. After that play nobody in the cast was “girl shy!” The play proceeds really financed a good ban- quet. Miss Whitlow and Miss Fauntleroy saw that it went over with a bang. We juniors showed the rest of the high school how to collect scrap paper, didn’t we? Over two tons! That shows you the juniors set the pace for the rest of the high school. As Arlene Nash would say : “Nothing cheap about us!” Mack, your old school bus is still chugging along, had one flat and just rode on home on it! Mack, not only the juniors but everyone in high school is working with one aim, to see you and all the other boys come home really soon. A school mate, BARBARA WILSON.
