L’Annuaire, Brookville High School New Organization of Our High School UR schools have been reorganized on the 6-6 plan. There are six elementary grades and a six-year high school. The six years of the high school course are divided into two periods of three years each, called the Junior and Senior High School. During the Junior period, special guidance is to the pupils to help them decide the vocation for which they are best fitted. Senior period, the pupils are being guided in their preparations for taking up their fife work. Our high school is working harder than ever before, since the adoption of the new plan to train its pupils to be loyal, helpful citizens. The teachers are among the very best. The pupils are being trained both intellectually and physically. Strong, sound characters are being formed by the examples and instructions of the teachers. We hope each pupil may be so taught that he will be fitted to take whatever course in life he desires, and be of use not only to himself but also to his country. We, the pupils of the high school, have our duties too. We must do our part by upholding the standards of the school, we must obey rules, and we must, most of all, be loyal. The school cannot keep on improving unless we stand behind it. We are using this motto as one of our standards: being given During the “It Is Not Easy” It Is Not Easy To apologize To begin over To admit error To be unselfish To take advice To be charitable To be considerate To endure success To keep on trying To avoid mistakes To forgive and forget To keep out of the rut To make the most of a little To maintain a high standard To recognize the silver lining To shoulder a deserved blame But It Always Pays.” Author Un nown to Us.

L’Annuaire, Brookville High School To the Class of 1929 Another large class is graduating from the high school. Another large group of names is being added to the Alumni of Brookville High School. The potentiality which this group represents cannot be estimated. If the training, the knowledge and the various abilities of this group could be conserved for Brookville each year, the progress of our community would be unlimited. If I have a message for the class of 1929, it is, “work. You did not enter Brookville High School and do four years' work in order to learn how to go through life in a leisurely manner, but rather to learn how to work more effectively. Ralph Waldo Emerson, the great American poet and philosopher, said, “Labor is God’s education. He only is a sincere learner, he only becomes a master who learns the secret of labor.” Time is the one thing of which each person has an equal supply. “It is the only commodity that slips away in a steady stream regardless of what you do with it. It cannot be halted in its flight, nor coaxed or forced to return.” A billion-dollar corporation with all its wealth and credits, cannot buy back one second of yesterday's time. Some one has said that the only difference between a world master like Edison and an aged pauper is the difference in use which he has made of his hundred and sixty-eight hours of available time each week. It makes no difference, whether you go to college, whether you enter business or what you select for your life’s work, it is “work” that will determine your success. Very sincerely, Wm. H.
