This dedication, though small in space, shows our biggest appreciation to our dearest friends, our parents. We thank you for all the times you've shared our troubles, our joys, and our aches and pains. You've been our helping hand for many years now and have had many unhappy and worrisome moments while doing it. You've walked along the road with us past many pits and around many treacherous twists and turns. We began this walk as babies; then followed our school days. We left Mom and Dad's side and found new friends; after that we went through the stage of feeling that our parents were definitely not up-to-date in time. Now we are facing our graduation from high school. We realize now how right our parents have been. We are truly sorry for all the worry we have unknowingly caused them, and we also know that they, being parents, forgave us before we realized we were wrong. Someday soon we too will become parents and then and only then will we be able to discover how very much you too loved us. Now that we are almost graduated we will try our best to prove that your love and help has not been in vain. 4 The Echo —From the Seniors by Katheryn Butler Echo Staff Left to Right: Becky Davis, business manager; Mr. Caimi, Faculty sponsor; Janet Lingenfelter, Editor; Miss Ellis.

Perhaps twenty five years from now we will have a class reunion. The class of nineteen hundred and seventy-eight will look upon us as old folks.' The world will have changed a great deal, so it is our purpose here to record some bits of information that may give us a few chuckles in the future.

In September of 1941 many thousands of boys and girls began their formal education with enrollment in first grade. At that time they thought that twelve years of school would practically be an entire lifetime. But now we have finished those twelve years of education. It is not our purpose here to dwell on those trying days of learning to read, write, do arithmetic, and the thousands of other things that go with school. Instead we would like you to go with us on an investigation tour of the many changes that have taken place in the world around us while we were absorbed with school. In that September when we merrily ran or were wearily dragged to school, we did not know much about Hitler or the Nazi threat. It did not mean anything to us that Western Europe was already involved in war. However, it was only four months after we entered school that the treacherous attack on Pearl Harbor occurred. World War II was the greatest event of our school careers, but it was by no means the only thing that happened. Science, medicine, styles, politics—all have marched on from September, 1941, to May, 1953. The Echo 13 Seniors 1953 Parade of History - - Politics In 1940, Franklin Delano Roosevelt ran for the third consecutive time for the highest office in the land against his opponent Wendell Wilkie. Roosevelt was a tremendous worker despite his physical handicaps. He was the first president to use the radio for Fireside Chats” on policies. He conferred with the heads of state at Casablanca, January, 1943; Quebec, August, 1943; Teheran, November-December, 1943; Cairo, December, 1943; Yalta, February, 1945. In 1944, Roosevelt ran against and defeated Thomas E. Dewey. He served only one year of that term when he died at Warm Springs, Georgia, April 12, 1945. His vice president Harry S. Truman finished his term and de- DON BEATTY ALBERTA C. BECKMAN General Academic Argonauts; Ushers Club; Snapshot Committee. feated Thomas E. Dewey in 1948 for the presidency. In foreign relations Mr. Truman supported the Marshall Plan, ECO, rehabilitation of Greece, arming of Turkey, and mutual hemisphere defense. He named General Dwight D. Eisenhower to the supreme command in Europe. He supported the Hoover plan for government reorganization and the extension of production of atomic weapons and the hydrogen bomb. In 1952, Truman refused to run again for the presidency, and, for the first time’ in twenty years, the Republican candidate, Dwight D. Eisenhower, became president of the United States. —-Dick Dillman JAMES E. BENNETT DENNIS L.

This war was carefully calculated; every step was carefully planned. Germany's main objective was to regain territory lost in previous wars. By November, 1941, the United States was all but in this war. Her navy was sailing the Atlantic to insure delivery of her material. Japan was putting pressure on the United States, and in November she sent an ambassador to explain. But the real explanation came on the morning of December 7, 1941, when two hundred aircraft — carrierborne planes- -attacked the American fleet at Pearl Harbor. This was an unexpected blow. Japan struck simultaneously at the Philippines, Hong Kong, and the surrounding areas. Japan's early progress was very rapid. To name only a few, she had such places as Manila, Malaya, and Singapore. Although things looked black because of the Japanese victories in the Pacific, they were much better on the Russian front. Russia had the Germans on the run. The battles of the Coral Sea and Midway gave us a new outlook. The United States navy had stopped the Japanese for their first victory. From this time on the war began to draw to a close, and on May 8, 1945, Germany surrendered. Soon after came the end of this war with the Japanese surrendering on August 14, 1945. World War II was a very destructive and costly war, leaving many homeless and totaling heavy costs on both sides. —Harold Shaffer BARBARA JOLINE BULLERS General F. H.

Parade of History - - Korea Although a recent event in our school career, the Korean situation merits much attention. Korea was owned by Japan before World War II. After the war it was divided at the thirty-eighth parallel between the United States and Russia. It was decided to form a government. When the forces got together, they found that the Koreans had already formed a government called the Korean Peoples' Republic. The Americans refused to accept this government because it was a regime with faulty representation. Small skirmishes in the border towns began. It soon became a real battle. The North Koreans captured Seoul; the capital; but the NANCY J. DINGER General Driver Training; Ushers Club. EMMA JANE ESH3AUGH Commercial F. B. L. A.; Snapshots Committee; Features Committee. United Nations' forces held outside the city. In due time the Reds were pushed as far north as the Yalu River on the Manchurian border. The Chinese Reds entered the war and pushed the U. N. forces southward. Then followed the fateful fourteen days when the first division of the marines was trapped in the area of the Chung-yang Reservoir. This was the only time that the Marines retreated, but they escgped, taking with them all of their wounded and all of their supplies. The so-called police action in Korea continues in spite of prolonged peace conferences. We can only hope someone can soon find some way to end it. —Ray Clontz 16 The Echo Seniors 1953 EMM1N W.

Parade of History - - The United States Airforce When the second World War broke out in Europe, the United States had only a handful of combat planes. At that time the Nazi Luftwaffe was composed of fifteen thousand war planes and about a million men. Our air corps had less than one thousand airplanes of all types including thirteen Flying Fortresses. In the war against Japan, the Army Air Forces, spearheading the attack with the famous B-29's, flew six hundred and sixty-nine thousand sorties. Five hundred thousand tons of bombs were dropped on Japan and its islands. More than ten thousand Japanese aircraft were destroyed, while our losses amounted to forty-five hundred planes. From the few thousand fighters and bombers available in 1941, our forces grew to almost eighty thousand aircraft in 1945, its wartime peak. From a force of about three hundred thousand in 1941, Army Air Force personnel expanded to two million, four hundred and eleven thousand by 1944. In 1945 the jet-powered F-70 Shooting Star made its flight test. In 1946 it spanned the continent in four hours and thirteen minutes. In 1947 Charles E. Yeager flew the Bell X-l, a rocket-propelled plane, faster than sound. In 1949 an airforce B-50 completed the first non-stop circumnavigation of the world. In Korea today we have fighter planes which can fly in excess of six hundred miles an hour. —Jim Sebring The Echo 17 Seniors 1953 Parade of History - - Television These are some of the events that led to fifteen million American homes having television receivers: 1941—Demonstration of home television on translucent screen, television on theater screen, and pictures automatically radio-relayed. 1945— Construction of new antenna begun atop of the Empire State Building. 1946— Airborne television demonstrated; colored television demonstrated publicly at RCA laboratories in Princeton, N. J. 1947— Simultaneous electronic television demonstrated. 1948— First public demonstration of ultrafax—a highspeed photographic process featuring the transmission of television messages with a potential of handling a million words a minute. 1949— Puppet show Kukla, Fran, and Ollie shown in Washington, D. C., in color with no effect on black and white sets. 1950— 51—Research in color television, UHF, and cross-country relay of color television by microwave. 1952—Broadening of television service by the UHF band. —Francis Ray buck CHARLES ALBERT GUTH Academic Boys' Chorus; Mixed Chorus; A Cappella Choir; County Chorus; Drill Team; Business Committee; Treasurer of 214.

Since 1940 biochemistry has discovered and developed substance originating from living organisms such as molds. These substances prevent the growth and reproduction of micro-organisms. Penicillin, streptomycin, and more recently, aureomycin have been highly effective in combating a number of diseases. Since 1941 medical study has shown many forms of insanity to be curable. Recognition of vitamins, activities of glands of internal secretion and their importance in promoting growth and controlling metabolism has come about.

X-ray and radium are still the only non-surgical treatments known for cancer. In this field radio-active substances were discovered, but up to the present the results have been unsatisfactory because improvement was followed by severe and fatal anemia. Sulfanala-mide drugs have been used successfully to prevent the development of infections. A discovery of blood groups by Landsteiner in 1943 made possible blood transfusions. His work did much to decrease the death rate on the battlefield. Yes, medicine has progressed, and because of the progress, people are living happier and longer lives. —Ruby Thomas ABRAHAM A.

Parade of History - - Automobiles Today's cars rank with the finest in the world in styling and performance for the American industry is always working to improve its production and products. Nowhere in the world and in such a short time has anything improved as much as the automobile. To name a few of the changes, we now have power steering, automatic light dimmers, tinted windshield glass, increased horsepower, radical differences in tires, automatic transmissions, and greater luxury in interiors. Power steering is a device which takes ninety percent of the work out of steering, while the automatic dimmer receives the light impulses from the other car and automatically dims the lights. In the horsepower race, Cadillac and Chrysler are among the leaders, both having around the two hundred mark. Winter treads have become popular for winter driving. Designers have brought us many variations in automatic transmissions such as Hydramatic, Dynaflow, and Power-glide as in General Motors cars; Fluid Drives which are in the Chrysler cars; and the Forda-matic, Mercumatic, and Hydramatic made by the Ford Motor Company. The interiors of today's cars are masterpieces of styling and comfort. We have carpets on the floors; foam rubber seats; leather, plastic, and fabric seat covers; and colors which blend with the outside of the car. —Chuck Guth 20 The Echo Seniors 1953 GEORGE A. MOREY.

Baseball saw, at last, the end of the Yankee domination. The war brought many would-be second division clubs into pennant contention. Later in the decade the baseball world saw the death of its greatest player, George Herman Ruth. Starting in 1949 the Yankees again began their tyrannical domination and have won four straight World's Championships since. Football saw the merging of two rival pro leagues into one National League with two sections, and Notre Dame under Frank Leahy ran up a string of thirty-eight consecutive wins, an all-time record. Basketball was General General Library Club; F. H. A.; Press Club; Sr. Tumbling Team. knocked for a great loss by the discovery of bribe-taking among college players. In the lesser publicized sports we had Bob Mathias, schoolboy winner of the Olympic Decathlon; Ben Hogan who made such a heartwarming comeback at golf after he had been terribly disabled in an automobile wreck; Gussie Moran who brought lace frills into championship tennis; and Joe Louis who, after sixteen years of ring denomination, bowed out to make way for a new and younger champion. We can readily see that the American sports field has been active during our school life—full of thrills, chills, sorrows, joys, winnings, losings, and above all, fun. —Jim Crawford The Echo 21 Seniors 1953 Parade of History - - Fashions From 1941 to 1953, our fashions have seen many changes. To understand the styles of the war years, you must first understand the effect the First World War had on our women. Then the idea of free and equal rights for women in business was getting a good start. This caused women to imitate men, the more masculinity, the better the fashion. This feeling prevailed 'til the Second World War. Women were eager to be feminine again, and the sweater girl came into view. The styles of this era were made up of slender knee-level skirts, sweaters, or jackets and dresses with well-padded shoulders. Shortages of materials brought about the short evening dress as well as inconveniences, such as no zippers, no silk, no nylon, and few shoes. Post war years brought on the 'new look. Dresses became frilly and low-necked. Materials changed to satins, taffetas, and velvets. Hips and shoulders were rounded, hem lines were ten inches from the floor, skirts billowed, bare heads became coiffed, and covered shoulders were bared. New colors such as tangerine, lavender, and chartreuse made their appearance. In twelve short years women traveled a long way from that masculine period before World War II. —Katheryn Butler FRANCES JOANNE PARK General F. B. L. A.; F. H. A.; Ushers Club; Library Club.

There have been more than two hundred new homes built within the city limits of Brookville, and many old buildings have been remodeled, painted, or torn down. The council finally decided to take out the old street lights that were in the middle of the street and replace them with new, modern lights. Badly needed traffic lights were erected at the dangerous intersections. Although Brookville is not on the criminal side, a new and faster police car was bought and the police force was expanded. To keep the younger ones out of mischief, the people of Brookville started the Little League baseball teams, and for the older boys, the Teener League. Employment conditions have been much improved, and Brookville can now boast some of the finest manufacturing plants in the area. A newly-organized Chamber of Commerce did much to help Brookville. A new wing was built onto the hospital, giving us much-needed room and a modern operating room, kitchen, and laundry. A new firetruck and emergency truck were added to our fire department. All in all, we can readily see that Brookville's farsighted citizens have rapidly joined the parade of progress. —Fred Kelso MARY ELLEN REITZ Commercial F. B. L.

Parade of History - - Atomic Energy It is impossible to relate the history of atomic energy through the last twelve years without going back over the long period of time leading up to the first real experiment man ever made with atomic energy. Atomic energy goes back to the first great scienitsts of the world. The atomic age has already started. It started in July, 1945, with the explosion of the first atomic bomb. The elemental flame, first fire ever made on earth that did not have its origin from the sun, came from the explosion of the first atomic bomb. At that great moment in history, ranking with the moment when man first put fire to work for him, the vast energy locked within the heart of the atoms of matter was released for the first time in a burst of flame such as had never before been seen on this planet. One of the things that is a wonderment among many people is: Can the power of the atomic bomb be harnessed in some way so that it may be used for good instead of evil? Science has told us that if we could harness the power from one atomic explosion, we would not have to worry about the coal for the furnace, the wood for the fire, or the gas for the stove, because there is enough power in one of the bombs to keep us from worry the rest of our lifetime. —George Morey 24 The Echo Seniors 1953 IRA STORMER General Band; Dance Band; Drill Team.

DARREL VANDERVORT General Parade of History - - Communism Communism as we know it today is a carryover from the days of Pluto's republic. Communism is an extreme form of socialism by which a share and share alike basis is used; that is, a movement that calls for the pooling of property resources. Communism has readily become a threat to our democratic way of life. The people of communistic nations have been fed so much propaganda about our country that they feel they would not want to live here. A program called Voice of America came into existence during President F. D. Roosevelt's term in office. This program was and is a means to contact the people of totalitarian countries and let them know just what it is like here in America. The Supreme Court has taken action in many cases of Communist espionage in the United States. Many of their cases have dealt with the giving away of government secrets and the selling of atomic secrets. Communism, or rule by the hammer and sickle, can be combatted only if every good citizen takes a look around and begins to realize that it could happen here. —Ellen Himes The Echo 25 Seniors 1953 Parade of History - - United Nations And now we approach the final paragraph in the parade of history since we were in first grade. It is only right that we should think of the United Nations as our hope for world peace. In 1942, representatives of all nations then at war with the Axis powers gathered in our national capital where they signed what was known as the Declaration of the United Nations. It wasn't until 1944 that the Big Three the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union laid plans for a United Nations organization. In 1945 delegates from forty-six nations signed the constitution at a San Francisco meeting. The United Nations with her four main units, General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council, and the International Court of Justice, has come a long way. The early years were frequently characterized by differences of opinion between democratic nations on one side and Russia and her satellite states on the other. So today the world faces the problem—Can the democratic and totalitarian states work together for world peace? Perhaps the answer lies in the strengthening of the United Nations.

Our Favorite Teacher The class of 1953 is proud to have chosen Russell McGaughey for its favorite teacher. His vivid examples of modern democracy in action have given us a basis upon which to build a conception of citizenship. No man can teach a subject which he does not understand and believe. Mr. McGaughey is active in community, church, and school activities. Many teachers finish their day when the last bell rings, but not the master of room 214. Many evenings he has stayed to discuss problems with troubled students. Several of our class members who suffered severe illnesses are indebted to Mr. McGaughey who visited and comforted them whenever possible. In the Senior Problems of Democracy classes, many of the achievements of Clarion State Teachers College are stressed as our favorite teacher is an avid alumnus. Normally not an outspoken man, Mr. McGaughey has often stated that he believes a college graduate should be judged on his ability and not his degrees or his Alma Mater. A man with the high ideals and the fundamental honesty of our favorite teacher will long be remembered by the students who attended his classes. —Bernard Taylor 28 The Echo The Eehe 29 Principals Hasson S. Rockey Supervising Principal The students and faculty of Brookville High School, as well as the citizens of Brookville, need no introduction to our supervising principal, Hasson S. Rockey, for he is well-known and well-liked by all. Although he is always busily engaged in directing school affairs, Mr. Rockey always finds time to lend a helping hand to his students. His helpful advice and careful directing often led us through trying days. We will always remember you, Mr. Rockey, not only for your cooperation and kind sympathy, but for your keen sense of humor that gave all of us a new outlook on life. Lawrence B. McKnight High School Principal With the coming of a new school year came our new senior high principal, Mr. Lawrence B. McKnight. Since he arrived, early this fall, he has won the respect and the admiration of all the students. Mr. McKnight came to us from Williamsport. This, however, is not his first year as a member of the B.H.S. faculty. During the years 1941-1942 he served as coach of the basketball team. The interest he has shown in the welfare of each student has made him very popular. May your success continue, Mr. McKnight. 30 The Echo Charles P. Phillips Mr. Phillips is and has been the principal of the Junior High School for a good many years. Besides being a very efficient principal, Mr. Phillips teaches Algebra to some of the Freshman students. He is also the Director of Athletics for the School. Board of Education Many thanks are due to our Board of Education who have devoted their time and efforts to the welfare of us pupils.

Shirley Shrecengost, Joyce Hepler, Pat Thomas, Carol Greenlee, Sandra Allgeier, Molly Smith Seven sparkling cheerleaders are they. Yes. our 1953 cheerleaders are tops. This year the seven peppy girls included two seniors, Molly Smith and Shirley Shrecengost; three juniors, Sandra Allgeier, Sue DeMotte, and Pat Thomas; and two sophomores, Carole Greenlee, and Joyce Hepler. This year the Varsity Cheerleaders were very active. They sponsored a dance after every home game, and they held a concession stand at the games for the purpose of making money to buy new sweaters. Molly Smith, captain of the cheerleaders, called practice twice a week during Football season, and once a week during Basketball season. At the away games the girls cheered for the J. V. games the J. V. Cheerleaders could not attend. They went to dances after the games and always stuck together. The Varsity Cheerleaders have a constitution by which they abide. Incidentally, they do have certain restrictions which they must follow. Some of these restrictions are: polished black and white shoes, clean white socks, and no chewing gum. These groups had an excellent sponsor who happened to be our new Gym teacher this year. Mrs. Ewing. The girls think Mrs. Ewing is wonderful and cannot be replaced. Try-outs are held in the Gym each spring to replace those graduating or those no longer on the squad. This year the cheerleaders made a law that from now on all cheerleaders must tryout every year. The tradition had been that once you made it you were on until you graduated. The cheerleaders are elected by the faculty and student body by secret ballot. The 1952-53 cheerleaders have made up and taught to the student body many new cheers. They squeezed in a Pep Meeting every time possible to get some vim into the students. Praise and honor are due these cheerleaders. —Gail Galbraith The Echo 41 Our Junior Cheerleaders JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS—Sally Monnoyer, Sue Stahlman, Margie Reinsel.

Bob Carnes The Student Council, as the name indicates, is a group of students elected to be the leaders in the government of the school. The regular meetings of Student Council are the second Tuesday and last Wednesday of each month. Our president has the power to call special meetings. At the meetings there are usually three sponsors present, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Ewing, and Dr. Gayley. With the co-operation of the high school administration the Council is becoming more efficient and forceful. This year a Student Court has been set up to hear the cases of those who break the rules and regulations of the school. Student Court is made up of a judge, who must be a senior and whose duty it is to preside over the sessions and keep order; a clerk, the vice-president of Student Council who keeps the records of the cases tried; and a jury made up of twelve students, one from each senior high homeroom. The jury is elected by members of homeroom and they serve a term of six weeks. It is the duty of these people to return the verdict of guilty and not guilty. Under the Student Court the school is becoming better organized and is conducted by a student democracy. A new backstop for the ballground is to be put up in the spring. This structure is being worked on by some students in the school and should be ready by spring. As in previous years some students from our high school attended the annual Pennsylvania Student Council Convention. This year it was held in Forty Fort, a suburb of Wilkes-Barre. Our delegates to the convention were Becky Davis, Dorothy Himes, Bud Hetrick, and Walter Dick. They were accompanied by Miss Ellis. At these conventions the boys and girls learn how other Student Councils operate. Many good suggestions and helps were obtained by representatives. If in the future the same co-operation among students, council members, and faculty is continued, the students will have a school system which they can really say they helped to establish. —Ellen Himes 48 The Echo The Beam . . . Our Newspaper This year the school newspaper has gone back to its original name, The Beam after having been Inkspot for the previous year. The Beam staff consists of Editor-in-Chief, Doris Myers; her assistant, Shirley Smith; Art Editor, Joy Spare; Sports Editor, Marlene Park; Proofreader, Jane Geist; Treasurer, Patty Osborne; Typists, Patty Osborne, Peggy Johnson, Dayne Galbraith, and Helen Strong. Then there are the reporters from both Junior and Senior High. The work of the Beam Staff consists of getting the news, typing stencils, proofreading and finally mimeographing the paper. It is pleasant at the end of the year to be able to say that each member co-operated and helped the paper come out on time. As we look back over the year and think of the panorama of Beam issues, the ones that are foremost in our minds are the special issues such as the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter ones. Not only do we remember them because they were appropriate to the season, by their stories and attractive covers, but because of the vacations that went with them. We were favored many times with appropriate editorials from our Editor. Doris Myers. The Press Club wishes to thank at this time Mrs. Maxine Stephens for her co-operation and fine work in helping to prepare the paper. As each issue was prepared we could always count on Mrs. Stephens to be around to help with some of the most important things that had to be done to get the paper out on time. One interesting project that not many of the students in our school know about is our Exchange Plan. In this plan Brookville High School sends out papers with each publication to schools nearby, and in return they also send our school their papers. This is helpful in that it shows us many ways in which to improve our paper by setting up the pages and by comparing different articles. We would like to say that we wish next year's staff a year of the least possible headaches and a paper that is a credit to Brookville Public Schools. —Peggy Johnson Front Row: Joe Ferraro, Shirley Spare, Peggy McConnell, Peggy Allgeier, Margaret Tillotson.

Karen Allshouse The Echo 49 National Honor Society Janet Lingenfelter, Jim Crawford One of the greatest honors which can be bestowed upon any high school student is the honor of becoming a member of the National Honor Society. Having existed in our school for several years, this organization was adopted into Brookville High School in order that some recognition might be given to those students who were outstanding in their work and services to our school. The outlined purpose of the N. S. H. S. is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render services to one's fellowmen, to promote worthy leadership and to encourage development of character in high school students. According to the constitution of this society, membership is based upon scholarship, service, leadership, and character. To become a member, a student of B. H. S. must be scholas tically within the upper third of his class, and must have spent at least one year in Brookville High. Not more than fifteen percent of a senior class can be elected for membership. Going further into the factors which determine whether or not a student can be admitted as a member, character should be considered. Under this topic it is necessary to consider the pledges and responsibilities which the individual has been willing to meet, whether or not he has shown the highest standard of attitude toward honesty and reliability, and how he rates in regard to such desirable qualities of personality as cheerfulness, friendliness, neatness, poise, etc. Leadership is also a very important factor. It is a known fact that any country needs to recognize its leaders and put them where they will be of the most service. Likewise, a school needs to give its leaders some form of recognition for their services, this being one of the purposes of the National Honor Society. The other two decisive factors determining membership are scholarship and service. Concerning scholarship, one's school record must average eighty-five percent or more. Various forms of service considered are one's services to his school, his home, community, country, and his service to God. Those students whom the faculty feel have fulfilled all these qualifications are given the privilege, in a formal initiation, of repeating the following pledge: I pledge myself to uphold the high purpose of the Society to which I have been elected, striving in every way by word or deed to make its ideals the ideals of my school and my life. With this, they are officially lifetime members of the National Honor Society. —Mary Knisely 50 The Echo Front Row: Mrs. Jones. Janet Shaffer. Carol Bloom. Betty Mantzell.

Jean Peace, Harriet Rothrock Back Row: Jerry Hepler, Tom Quinn, Tom Haskall Bob Diener, Barry McKinley, Jim Ruffner National Junior Members in the National Junior Honor Society were chosen because of five qualities they possessed. The students were outstanding in scholarship, leadership, service, character, and citizenship. Taking all these into consideration, the teachers choose new members to be taken into the club twice a year. After an initiation where all prospective members dress as told and bow to all old members, the new students are pledged into the society. This pledge is: On my honor as a member of the National Junior Honor Society I will do my best to represent the four ideals of the society. I will be fair in all dealings with teachers and fellow students. I will remember that the real purpose of school is getting an education. I will use what power of leadership 1 have toward making Brookville a better school. I will serve my school without thought of personal glory. With this pledge, the National Junior Honor Society increases its membership. This group acts as hall monitors and cafeteria hostesses for Junior High School. The Cafeteria Captains are Helen Osborne and Bob Diener. These students seat and dismiss all pupils from Junior High who eat in the cafeteria. Other officers of the club are: President— Bill Harding, Vice President—Mary Dee Pitts, Bill Henry, Walter Dick. Karl Nolph, Bob Pence, Honor Society Secretary- Andee Lynn McManigle. Students in the National Junior Honor Society are members until they are eligible to become members of the Senior Honor Society. Some of the activities of the group are the spring picnic and a regular trip to Pittsburgh by the Sophomores of the Society to see the Pirates play ball. The society also sponsored the Blue Jay Singers which sang for the students in both Junior and Senior High at the beginning of the year. This Society is a national project and there are branches of it in all parts of the United States and its territories. The sponsors of this club are Mrs. Anderson and Mr. Phillips. Any person who falls below the standard which got him into the club will be put on probation for thirty days. After this time, the student will be judged by the Executive Committee. This committee consists of the principal or faculty adviser and officers of the chapter. During the year the National Junior Honor Society sponsors bake sales and other activities to raise money. Of all the clubs in the school, this is one of the most important. -—Ann McAninch The Echo 51 Band — Da nee Band Front row: Amy Altman. Sandy McManigle, Lillian Ewing.

Why, it is an announcer of the Public Address System, of course. Who? It may be any Junior who takes Speech. The Voice informs the pupils of the school's activities and gives information to teachers and pupils. Library Staff The library staff is composed of twelve active student librarians. Each girl is on duty for one period a day and receives one-third credit yearly. All events of the year are accented in the library by gay decorations and clever displays done by the girls. —Lorraine Chamberlin LIBRARY STAFF—Sitting: Joanne Brosius, LaGene Heckman.

Doris Nolph, Miss Christ, Becky Davis, Virginia Haugh, Donna Schuckers, Barbara Basinger The Sub-Deb is an organization composed of twenty senior girls. Ten are elected at the end of their junior year and ten the beginning of their senior year. The meetings were held at the Y. M. C. A. on alternate Monday nights. The meetings usually consisted of business and a gossip session followed by refreshments. The motto of the club is smooth sailing and the object is to create a feeling of friendship in and out of school. To help the girls carry out this object the club had many different activities during the year. Sub-Deb along with Tru Blu and Tri-Hi-Y enjoyed many parties, and to express their Christmas spirit they went caroling together. Of course topping this list of activities was a slumber party held at the Y. M. C. A. We are proud to say that the Sub-Deb girls shared their fun by inviting a guest to their special parties. Much credit must be given to the officers of the club. We all know that the President, Janet Lingenfelter, surely must have worked long and hard to lead this organization to success throughout the year. Of course, we cannot forget the Vice President, Patty Osborne; Secretary, Dayne Galbraith; and Treasurer, Peggy Johnson, who cooperated with Janet for the benefit of the club. Having an ambitious and reliable sponsor like Mrs. Jones was a great asset to the club in carrying out their various activities. She proved this by having one of the meetings at her house and struggling through the slumber party at the Y . The meetings were not all on the serious side but we know something was accomplished in every one of them. No one would have been surprised to have walked in the Y. M. C. A. Canteen on one of those Monday evenings to see the girls scurrying around and chattering at the top of their voices while one small voice would be trying to keep them in order and above all doing a successful job of it. Putting all the foolishness aside the girls benefited from the club by learning to cooperate and work together. Perhaps you have seen some of the members very proudly wearing their green and white sweaters which were one of their rewards for belonging to the club. Sub-Deb will long be remembered by those girls who belonged to it and enjoyed all of the things which it had to offer. —Donna Schuckers 60 The Echo Tru Blu Of all the clubs in Brookville High School, Tru Blu is certainly one of the merriest. Each of its thirty members is filled with a spirit of friendliness and loyalty as she lives up to the club motto, Be Friends and Make Friends. The rules of the Tru Blu Club are summed up in the club constitution which is handed down year after year to the different junior and senior girls who comprise this organization. Each year a senior girl is chosen as President of Tru Blu, and this year Donna Schuckers, who filled this job, found it quite a responsibility seeing that the rules pi this constitution were carried out and that each evening was packed with fun, but she succeeded in doing a very fine job. Other officers for the year were: Kay Johns, Vice President; Helen Strong, Secretary; and Carole Shaffer, Treasurer. Meeting every alternate Wednesday evening at the Y Canteen at 7:30, the girls could always look forward to an enjoyable evening together, since a special group was chosen for each meeting to provide the entertainment and refreshments. Through this fellowship of working together, each member received training in social living. Although this year's activities covered quite a span, Tureen Dinners seemed to be the favorite. Three were held during the year in the Y dining room and each seemed to be livelier than the one preceding. The other activities of the year were: a Halloween Party; a visit by Gene Richards, who discussed hair styles; a Thanksgiving Basket, which was given to a needy family; a Christmas Party; a round-table discussion; a Valentine Party; a discussion on the styles of today with Mrs. Hinrichson as leader; a talk by Mr. Walker, president of the Y. M. C. A.; and a tea for the mothers of the Tru Blu members. A boring meeting was unknown this year, but of course, the fact that Miss Ellis was the sponsor had a great deal to do with this. Her jolliness made every evening an enjoyable one. Nearly every girl who is elected into the Tru Blu considers it an honor but the success of the club depends on how much of her time and ability she is willing to contribute to its purpose. Naturally this is true of any organization, but there is much indication that the Tru Blu Club of Brookville High School will always be a thriving organization working for the betterment of its members. —Mary Knisely Sitting Leit To Right.

BACKWARD ROLL! CARTWHEEL! HANDSTAND! FORWARD FLIP! One of the newest clubs of Brookville High School is the tumbling team, an organization of girls of all sizes and shapes. The team practices several evenings a week. If you see a girl with a stiff neck or a taped leg you can almost be sure she is a member of the tumbling team and that they have just had practice. The only public credit these girls receive for their hard work is a special act in the Gymnastic Exhibition. However, the fine bodily control which is developed gives each of the girls a great deal of personal satisfaction. Tumbling is found as a valuable aid for participation in other sports and activities. Our team has great fun tumbling as a group or individually. The only equipment needed are a few mats and several girls. This team originated at the beginning of the 1952-1953 year and is composed of about 20 girls. Beauty or streamlining were not essentia! for membership, the only qualification being a willingness to work and to co-operate with other girls. The girls practice with the hope that they will cultivate co-ordination and good posture. To have a fine team you must have a good coach. The tumbling team has Mrs. Ewing as its coach and her patience and helpfulness is a great asset to the team. Some of their achievements are: forward roll, backward roll, cartwheel, handstand, headstand, double roll, forward flip, and a flip over another person. Each girl at first found it difficult to perform some of these acts. But after hard work and lots of courage the tricks soon began to look professional. Now when their heads hit the mat they are not intent on just doing the act, but to make it look smooth and perfect. Yes, all this added color to the Gym Exhibition. —Lois Daugherty The Echo 63 Sitting Lett to Right: Emmin Fenstermaker, Bernard Taylor. Clarence Wolfe, Bob Miller.

George Morey, Mr. Jones (Coach) Varsity Club This year's edition of the Varsity Club inherited two very important articles from last year's members. A brand new Constitution to work under and a substantial bank balance to build on have enabled us to have a successful year. With the accelerated football program contributing fourteen senior regulars from the offensive and defensive platoons, we are buying a record number of sixteen jackets this year. This year our loyal members swarmed through the business sections of the town twice soliciting advertisements for the football and basketball programs. In the concession stands, Brookville's brawn held sway as 225-pound tackles served hot dogs and tried to avoid sweeping the gym. Somehow Bill Commons never quite succeeded in dodging the broom. Although we have always managed to fulfill our commitments on time, our advisor, Mr. Jones, is in a continual state of agitation. Along with keeping order in our sometimes riotous meetings, he also doubled as candy salesman and advertisement salesman. This year's members have left many lasting contributions to the school. We have managed to tear and stretch most of the uniforms, scratch up the gym floor, and tip over the lock- ers. Some of our members have been in the organization since that long ago year when B. H. S. almost beat Punxsy football team. One of our younger members brings forth the information that Clarence Wolfe has been in the club longer than our advisor who is finishing his third year of service. Blaise Petrocci, the financial genius of the club, has been buried beneath a welter of figures since the first meeting of the organization and will probably remain there until graduation. George Morey must receive credit for taking the minutes although they were never read and probably wouldn't have been understood. Roy Altman holds the title of most active member as he has managed to avoid almost all of this year's meetings. This year we have reverted to the custom established by previous clubs and are purchasing maroon and white jackets. Many thanks should go to Blaise Petrocci who has tried to pay all of our bills and collect dues from senior members. For all who yearn for facts and amazing statistics, George Morey is our sterling secretary. Bernie Taylor and James White are President and Vice President of our little organization, each trying to outdo the other in passing the buck to Junior members. —Bernard Taylor 64 The Echo Rifle Club Sitting: Mr. Means.

Donna Bowen, Mr. Wingert Standing: Don Plato, Bob Pence, Mike Bailey, Clyde Edwards, Bill Evans, John Korb, Eugene Esh-baugh, Tommy Aiken. Herbert Barnett, Harry Brown This year the B. H. S. Rifle Club underwent many changes. We now feel that it is more highly organized than it has been in years, although we are sadly in need of newer and finer rifles. This year's hard working officers are: President—Mike Bailey, Secretary—Tom Aiken, Treasurer John Korb, Range Officer Denny Birtcil. Wasting no time whatsoever at the beginning of this school year, we set about to organize and to see what could be done to put the club on a more efficient level. We succeeded in getting a new sponsor in the person of Bob Edeburn, a former club member who graduated several years ago. Of course, we still have our old stand-by, Mr. Wingert. We are still doing our shooting in the Elementary School basement, although we had discussed plans to find a new site. Our range is a standard fifty-foot one, and by clever use of pul-lies we are able to put up targets without leaving the firing line. The range provides room for three firing points which are matted for more comfortable shooting. We also changed the time of shooting this year. Instead of going over after school when we were pressed for time, we now hold our meetings in the evening when we have more time to spend on our marksmanship. About once every two weeks, we hold a postal match, whereby, all targets are sent to the National Rifle Association for comparison with those sent from all other clubs all over the country. All club shooting is done from four standard positions: prone, which is lying flat with legs extended at a 45° angle; sitting, a difficult position; kneeling, a position that requires much practice; and off hand or standing. As a member increases in marksmanship he also increases in rank. The various ranks being: (1) Pro-marksman (2) Marksman (3) Marksman 1st Class (4) Sharpshooter (5) Nine bar Stages (6) Expert (7) Distinguished Rifleman Medals can be obtained for each of these ranks and should be worn with pride. Yes, we the members of the B. H. S. Rifle Club are proud, indeed, to belong to a club that upholds the high ideals of marksmanship and care of a fine instrument such as the rifle. —Denny Birtcil The Echo 65 Le Cercle Francais You don't have to parlez francais to know what a big undertaking Le Cercle Francais, or better known as French Club, has. Our big undertaking is the annual trip to Pittsburgh. On this trip the French Club leaves early in the morning, arriving in Pittsburgh around 10:00 A. M. Two interesting places we visited were Buhl Planetarium and Carnegie Museum. We think the most interesting aspect on the agenda was seeing the Greater Pittsburgh Airport. The Cathedral of Learning was also a thrill. We visited classrooms and got a general idea of education at Pitt. Some time was spent for shopping downtown. After a busy day like this in Pittsburgh, came evening. Everyone was ready for a rest and a big dinner at Stauffers. Now, for the biggest event of all, French Club went to the Nixon to see a stage play. Doesn't this all sound like fun? Well it is, but first we had to raise money to sponsor this trip. In October, we sponsored the first dance of the year, a sock dance, in the school gym. Next in line was a bake sale held downtown. One of our largest projects was having the concessions at a football game. We sold hotdogs, coffee, candy, pop and our fourteen members kept quite busy. The most fun we had earning money was the volley ball game between the faculty and the French Club. The teachers were dressed gaudily in pink shirts, long underwear, bow ties, and shorts. French Club dressed more conservatively. A grand time was had by all even though French Club had to import three foreigners, that is three non-members to make up a team. Our biggest event of the year was the sale of Christmas candy. French Club members made the candy—-fudge, divinity, pinoche, pinwheels, and bon bons. It was then weighed, packed, and sold to students, teachers and many outsiders. We also had a dance at the Y at the first of the year, another bake sale, and other outside activities. As you can see French Club had a busy year. The club is composed of fourteen members. Our sponsor is Miss Bertha Black. Our officers are President, Carole Shaffer; Vice President, Donna Schuckers; Secretary, Julia Kraus; and Treasurer, Dennis Birtcil. Le Cercle Francais holds its meetings once every two weeks during a class period. Our projects are planned and discussed at the meetings. —Jackie Allgeier 66 Silting: Julia Kraus.

Mary Lou Plyler, lim Crawford, Phyllis Harriger, Ruby Thomas Argonauts The Argonauts is one organization in our school that was organized for a cultural purpose. Members of the club are advanced Latin students who are interested in the culture of the Roman Empire. The government and procedure are quite similar to that of the Roman Republic. In the first place, the officers who are referred to as the president and vice president in less linguistic groups are called the Consuls. Senior Consul for the year was Ellen Himes while Alberta Beckman served as Praetor-Quaestor, or, as we say in ordinary language, secretary-treasurer. Even the program committee has a special name, the Aediles. Although the Argonauts have such an array of terminology, their purposes are much the same as those of other clubs. As in the years past, the big activity for the year was preparation for the annual trip to Pittsburgh. This trip has become a tradition with the students of the French and Latin Clubs not only for the fun and friendship that is shared, but also for the education they receive. Whenever possible the clubs make their trip during the Language Festival, and it is interesting to see the exhibitions. Naturally, since the club is small, a great deal of co-operation and work is required for the group to earn enough money for the project. The Turkey Trot did a great deal to help us balance the budget, but our biggest project was an all-school talent show. This show gave everyone an opportunity to display his talents and completed our budget problem. We are happy to report a pleasant and successful year. We have carried out our motto Longe ite et multumagite” which means Go far and do many things.

B. L. A. is an organization of young people who wish to become better business leaders of the future. The Brookville chapter of the F. B. L. A. is composed of Juniors and Seniors enrolled in the Commercial course who have attained a grade of C or higher in each of their subjects. The purpose of the organization is to develop competent, aggressive, business leaders; to create more understanding and interest in choosing business occupations; to encourage members to improve their homes and community; to develop character, train for useful citizenship and foster patriotism; to participate in cooperative effort; to encourage improvement in scholarship and promote school loyalty; to establish and improve standards for entrance upon store and office occupation. Business meetings for the year are held in the typing room one Friday out of every month. Special meetings are called when necessary. Social meetings are held the last Thursday of each month at the Y . We are also proud to say that we have three members who are officers of the State chapter of F. B. L. A. They are Barbara Hall, vice president, Barbara Basinger and Dayne Galbraith, directors. These people were elected as officers last year at Penn State where the group spent a day at a conference. On December 3, new members were initiated. These pupils were chosen because they had all the needed qualifications to become members. For initiation, these initiates dressed as they would if they worked in an office. In the evening, a formal initiation was held. New officers were installed into their offices by Miss Joanne Kiehl, secretary for the Modern Loan Company. Joanne was president of F. B. L. A. in 1950-51. Many of the Senior members are beginning their business careers early. They are secretaries to the teachers. When the teachers need some typing, mimeographing, or ditto work done, the secretaries are called upon. At the end of the year, F. B. L. A. membership cards are presented to each member. Each year the club sponsors bake sales, rummage sales, May Day, school programs, and other activities to finance a trip that is made at the end of the year. Officers for the year were elected on November 14. They are: President, Dayne Galbraith; Vice President, Joe Shick; Secretary, Jane Geist; Treasurer, Patty Osborne. The club is under the capable sponsorship of the three commercial teachers, Mr. Frank Caimi, Miss Pauline Perry, and Mrs. Maxine Stephens. —Dayne Galbraith 68 The Echo Art Club The Art Club has enjoyed its second year of reorganization. Students of senior high who take Art are automatically members of this club. The students have usually been A or B students in Junior High. The club consists of twenty-eight members in all. Of the many different mediums in which the students may express their art work, pastel is preferred. Others are charcoal, tempera, water colors, pencil, crayon, and ink. The drawing of portraits is performed in the works of many students. Others enjoy landscape or cartoons. There are some past art students who have gone on to make art a career. Dan Miller has attended several sessions of summer school at Penn State Teachers College and has won some awards. Jean Miller graduated from Edin-borough and is now teaching art in Sharon. Bill Galbraith, a talented student who helped with the Yearbook last year, received a scholarship and is now studying commercial art at Add Art in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We have some exceptional ability in store for the coming year. Many of these are new this year. From the Sophomore Class we have Don Corbett who is expert in lettering; Nancy Sushereba; Don Traister; Naomi Clark; Nola Lindemuth; William Evans, who has done some good Soldier scenes; Nancy Johnson; Joan Mayes; Eleanor Michael; and Clarence Haines, who is also studying art outside of school and has done pictures of Eisenhower and Stan Museul. Among Juniors we have one girl that would like to make it her career. That is Marlene Park. Other Juniors are William McManigle; Ruth Moore; Barbara Rote; Ruth Beatty; and Don Sushereba, who has done some good Murals; Sue DeMotte; Gwen Williams; Doris Hariff; and Bud Hetrick. We are looking forward to the work from these students. Of the Seniors we have some who have done pages for the Echo. These are Dayne Galbraith, Joy Spare and Katheryn Butler. Other Seniors are Shirley Thompson, Lorraine Chamberlin, Joyce Wingard, and Peggy Johnson. The climaxing project of the year is Fine Arts Exhibition each Spring in which the members show their best work. All of the members of the Art Club appreciate and wish to thank Mr. Charles Parks for his leadership and guidance in helping to bring out the best qulaities in each of us. —Peggy Johnson Sitting: Gwen Williams, Lorraine Chamberlin, Peggy Johnson, Katheryn Butler, Sue DeMotte, Marlene Park, Barbara Rote Kneeling: Bill McManigle, Don Traister, Don Corbett, Doris Haritf, Joy Spare Standing: Dayne Galbraith, Joyce Wingard, Mr. Park.

The officers of this club are: President, Jean Evans; Vice President, Ruth Beatty; Secretary, Stella Plyler; and Treasurer, Nellie Zel-lonis. Our sponsors are Mrs. Hinrichson and Miss Millen. The club has sponsored this year a bake sale and a square dance for the purpose of raising money and for their own entertainment. A Christmas party was held for all of the members. The club colors are red and white, and the pins each girl gets when she first joins are made of red ribbons with white letters. The girls serve at the Farm Bureau banquet and at any other banquets which occur during the year. When the Blue Jay Singers were in our school to entertain the students, the girls in the group served them. The highlight of the year for the club was the trip to the Pennsylvania Farm Show at Har- risburg. Seventeen F. H. A. girls and thirty-four F. F. A. boys made the trip in two buses which left Brookville at 6:00 a. m. on Wednesday, January 14, arriving in Harrisburg at noon. They spent that day looking at the exhibits and attending demonstrations and the show in the Arena. While the group was there they stayed at a very modern motel outside of the city limits. On Thursday they had a chance to visit the shopping center of Harrisburg while the F. H. A. president attended a luncheon given by the Chorus Club of Harrisburg at the Penn Harris Hotel. They had as their guests F. H. A. girls and F. F. A. boys from all over the state. In the evening the horse pulling contest in the arena was enjoyed by many of the group. Friday morning the entire group drove to Hershey where they toured the Hershey Chocolate Plant and visited other points of interest. At noon they left for home, stopping at Penn State College to visit points of interest there such as the Home Economics Building and the dairy barns. The group arrived in Brookville about 6:00 p. m. with everyone reporting a very enjoyable and educational trip. —Ann McAninch Front Row: Doris McAninch, Eva Ouinn.

Future Farmers of America The Future Farmers of America, or F. F. A. as it is commonly known, is the national organization of, by, and for boys studying vocational agriculture in public secondary schools under the provisions of the National Vocations Education Acts. There are four degrees of active membership Green Hand, Chapter Farmer, State Farmer, and American Farmer. Advancement through these grades of membership is based on achievement in vocational agriculture and progressive establishment in farming. The major purposes of the Future Farmers of America are to develop agricultural leadership, co-operative citizenship, improve agriculture and patriotism. The Motto of the organization is as follows: Learning to do Doing to learn Earning to live Living to serve. The colors of this youth organization has been selected as National Blue and Corn Gold. The National Emblem of the Future Farmers of America is significant and meaningful in every detail. Used by members in all recognized units of organization, it is made up of five symbols: the owl, which is the symbol of labor and tillage of the soil; the rising sun, which is emblematic of progress and the new day that will dawn when all farmers are trained and have learned to co-operate; the cross section of an ear of corn, which represents common agri- cultural interest since corn is native to America and grown in evejry state; the eagle, indicative of the national scope of the organization. The emblem is protected by copyright and by trademark registration. The program is broken up into three parts. First the classroom work. The work is based upon the needs of the boys. However, the program will always carry a diversified study of the following enterprises; dairy, poultry, swine, beef cattle, sheep, bus crops, vegetable gardening, forestry, soil conservation, farm machines, and farm safety. Approximately six hours a week are spent on these enterprises in the classroom. Second is the farm shop program where they learn to use the common tools in repairing farm machinery. A boy will spend approximately four hours a week in the farm shop. The third and most important phase of the course is the project. There are forty boys who are enrolled in the Vocational Agriculture and members of the F. F. A. Some of the most interesting activities the boys have enjoyed during the year are: hay ride, square dance and Halloween party, wein-er roast, Greenhand Initiation, Christmas Party, project tour during summer, square dances, Farm Show trip, Tractor Driving Contest, and Horse Shoe Pitching Contest. They also sent a delegate to the convention in January at Harrisburg. —Shirley Thompson The Echo 71 FIRST SEMESTER DRIVER TRAINING Front Row: Cook, Huffman Bullers, Michael, McNutt. Johnson.

Its main purpose is to teach students the right way and the sport-manlike way” to drive. This will protect our own lives as well as the lives of other drivers and pedestrians. Due to the fact that driver education cuts accidents 50%, the administrators of our schools feel it is a worthwhile project. The driver training classes are under the guidance of Edgar Shreckengost. This course is open to juniors and seniors. Any student entering this course will have ten hours of actual driving experience as well as twenty hours of observation. The students have one period a week for a semester of classroom education. They see movies and study the structure of driving. Before students venture to drive, they are taught the mechanism of the automobile. Each student has one driving period a day for nine weeks. The classes are generally made up of three students. This gives each student approximately fifteen minutes of actual driving a day. The automobile is dual control. It is used through the courtesy of Fulton Chevrolet. At the end of nine weeks of driving, the students are given their driver's test by the State Police. —Joyce Wingard SECOND SEMESTER DRIVER TRAINING Front Row: Deemer, Plyler Second Row: Himes, Mor-res, Reinsel, Park, Stewart, Thomas, Reichard, Williams, Wallace, Stahl-man, Shick, Boyer Back Row: Mr. Shreck- engost, Wetzell, Lyle, Lockwood, Shilling, My-er, B o w 1 e y, Sebring, Rote, Barnett. Bish 72 Junior Class Play A Little Honey, a comedy in three acts written by William Davidson, was presented by the junior class on November 20 and 21. Herbert Thrush portrayed Robert Minton, a father of three girls, who is henpecked by his wife, Martha Minton (Marlene Park), a female country squire usually attired in a tweed suit. Robert is idolized by Eve Tyler (Sue Buzard), a flirtatious southern widow. Jerry Minton, as played by Sue DeMotte, is a teen-age daughter whose desire it is to buy a ridiculously expensive gown. Helping Jerry persuade her mother to buy the dress was her boyfriend Albert ParkeV, a lean lanky sixteen-year-old, played by Bud Hetrick. Marjorie Reinsel portrayed the oldest daughter, Diana, who is more interested in automobiles than boys, with the exception of Tom Corning (Arnold Johns) who has just returned from three years of engineering in China. Grandmother Thorton, Joyce Wallace in real life, is a witty woman in her seventies. She plotted to get Tom to propose to Diana from the minute she arrived at the Minton's. Her nurse Mrs. Simmons (Margaret Evans) was treated more like a maid than a nurse. The nine year old daughter Scoots (Hazel Moore), a plain open-faced youngster with an utterly frank and direct approach, is very interested in such animals as Pegasus, her frog, and her puppy. When Scoots begins feeding her frog bugs, it causes quite a commotion. Among those in the commotion was the maid Delores Megglehammer (Marjorie Michael), a washed out woman with a gleam of a crusader in her eye. After spending the night with the bugs, she packed her clothes and handed in her resignation. Richard Fleming did a good job as the bug exterminator. Of course, there was the usual happy ending—not only to the play but also to the weeks of work in the production. Mr. Park did his usual fine job of direction. Anna Morres and Barbara Wetzell were book holders. —Sue Buzard Front row: Sue DeMotte, Hazel Moore. Bud Hetrick, Margaret Evans, Joyce Wallace Second row: Margie Reinsel.

Mr Jones One of the most looked-forward-to productions of the school year is the annual gymnastic exhibition. This production credits its success to the pupils of Brookville High School under the capable and diligent instructions of Mrs. Ewing and Mr. Jones. How the pupils are trained in gymnastics and how they develop their own physical powers are shown in this extensive exhibition. The show has gay moments which include the young ladies dressed in figured skirts and white blouses displaying a colorful performance as they do the modern dance and flare their brightly colored kerchiefs. A dance which shows great concentration but gives a feeling of gaiety is the impressionistic dance, showing slow tensive movements of both the hands and feet. Relay racing shows good sportsmanship among team mates and provides for good amusement. The exhibition also gives part of its time to the very lively and interesting game of volley ball, which displays good team participation and physical qualities. Exhibitions such as these have moments which cause great tension. This fact is proven when the exhibition puts its attention to the sport of boxing. Boxing displays the free movements of the boys' bodies and shows their ability for quick thinking to defend themselves. Tumbling displays great physical qualities in balancing; forward rolls and backward rolls lead to more complicated acts such as stomach balance, shoulder balance, head stand, flip, etc. A great share of the girls' part in the exhibition is displayed by their tumbling ability; and to compete with the girls, the boys disclose their ability in calisthenics. Pictured above is the Drill Team, one of the outstanding features of the exhibition. This is always last in the exhibition but far from the least important. Mr. Jones spends industrious hours working with this team, which is chosen on appearance, dependability, personality, cooperation, and ability to march. All of these traits go into making a drill team which follows the commands: To the winds, march; by the left flank, march; to the rear, march; in cadence, march.. —Janet Lingenfelter 74 Tho Echo E5 hi Juniors Top Row: L.
