However, if you were to ask any of the members of the various yearbook committees. I'm sure they would tell you there is more work than meets the eye. The snapshot committee is responsible for those little gems in which the students are pictured at various stages of their school years or at various activities. It is the job of this committee to see that there are pictures in this section of as many people as possible. Although pictures are an important part of every yearbook, they are of little value without the write-ups which follow them. The group of seniors who are responsible for these write- ups is fittingly known as the Literary Committee. Members of the group must obtain correct information from each organization and group. Val Means, Herb Thrush and Gary Glontz are also members of this committee although they are not pictured. These committees help to make our yearbook interesting, entertaining and informative. But a yearbook must have capital in order to get underway. This is the responsibility of the Business Committee. It is their job to solicit the stores and businessmen of Brookville for contributions. It is this committee that decided how good our yearbook can be, by the amount of contributions they receive; but it is the other ones who decide how good it will be. THE SENIOR CLASS PRESENTS 1954 ECHO BROOKVILLE HIGH SCHOOL BROOKVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA FOREWORD We, the class of 1954, are proud to present to the student body of Brookville High School our ECHO of 1954. We are grateful beyond words for the support we have received from our own fellow classmates and our many outside patrons. We have attempted to produce a yearbook much different from those in past years. Instead of formal pictures as in previous years, we have added more informal pictures which we hope will enable our readers to understand how various school activities are carried on throughout the school year. In the senior section we show you seniors engaged in some type of work that is typical of their school life. The faculty section continues with this theme by showing activities of the various departments. We are sincere when we say we enjoyed preparing this yearbook, and we hope you have many happy moments reading it. —Barbara Wetzell, Literary Editor 2 THE ECHO Table ctf Conte hU PRODUCTION STAFF Inside Cover FOREWORD 2 DEDICATION 4 SENIORS 5 FACULTY 21 SNAPSHOTS 34 ACTIVITIES Sub-Deb and Tru Blu 36 Tri-Hi-Y and Beta Tri-Hi-Y 37 French Club 38 Student Council 39 F.

ELLIS We Dedicate Our 1954 Echo To say all that you can in a limited space about a very understanding, good na-tured, and intelligent person is not an easy task. You see, I'm speaking of Miss Ellis, our Understanding Angel, who has helped many of us realize our ambitions and discover what kind of persons we really are. She doesn't mind hearing the same old corny jokes year after year or putting up with our childish nonsense. Many times she has told us to put aside some of our extra-curricular activities and get down to the business of book work. Sometimes we were more than a little annoyed at her for making us write so many essays, but all of us will shortly realize how valuable a command of written language is. A number of us will be back to say thanks to our senior English teacher. For those of us who don't make it back. I'd like to say now, Thank you. Miss Ellis, thank you very much. We appreciate your efforts now, and we always will. For a number of years students have come to Brookville High School from surrounding communities, some as far away as eight or ten miles. But this year we can boast of having an exchange student from Stockholm, Sweden, in our student body. This is Agneta Hannerz, the tall blond girl we have pictured here. Nita is a member of the class of '54 here, but will have two more years of school when she goes back to Sweden. She has a variety of interests and talents, ranging from journalism to track. She has been able to find an outlet for some of these in the various extracurricular departments of B. H. S. For the students who have had the pleasure of knowing her, this has been an eventful and inspiring year. Welcome to fig neta tjahherj, Out (jueAt from Sweden The £ehiM % fiction This year in our 1954 ECHO we have pictured not only the formal graduating pictures of the seniors but also several pictures that will give the reader an insight into the everyday school life of the graduating class. The two pictures on this page are examples of us during the past year. At the top of the page we see the senior Student Council members. They are: Tommy Aiken, Molly Ann Bullers, Max Ferguson, Connie Slay, Gary Glontz, Val Means, Sandra Allgeier. Gary Glontz can be proud of being elected Student Council president. This honor shows the faith that the student body had in him. If we were to mention only the Student Day project as one of his successes, we would have an example of his devotion to a duty; but there were many others equally as important. The picture below also typifies the seniors. This shows some of the academic seniors perusing college catalogues in the office of Mrs. Katheryn Smith, guidance counselor. Approximately thirty-three per cent of the current class will pursue further formal education before entering the career world. Students pictured here are-. Margie Michael, Amelia Ferraro, Wilda Eshbaugh, Richard Fleming, and Val Means. Class officers ponder some events of their last year. Officers: Secretary, John Reitz; Vice President, Jim Martz; Treasurer, Connie Slay; President, Tim Fetzer. .eptetnbet I9S3 tc tflaif 1939 The Seniors of Brookville High School have various events in the school years that they will remember long after they have graduated. Most of these occur within or around the school grounds. The Seniors, especially those who participate in sports, will never forget how they got out and worked, sweated, and played the games with their hearts. These memories will long linger in their minds. In the early spring it's Senior Class Play tryouts. The cast, besides spending so much time learning their lines, always seem to have time for frolic. We are quite proud of the performance that our seniors gave. The Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet is one of the seniors7 most remembered events. First the Juniors provide the Seniors with a great feast and then on the next night with a formal dance. At the Prom, the seniors dress up in their best finery and take their favorite gal or beau. As the year finally comes to a close, the seniors prepare for their trip. This trip is a traditional event and is enjoyed by all. The seniors vote on where they wish to go and then leave with the chaperones for a day of fun and merriment. At last comes the day all the seniors have been waiting for, the day of graduation. This day will never be forgotten. The moments are few when your heart is pounding and you take your diploma from Mr. Rockey. And suddenly, you are not a member of the Brookville High School anymore but a person setting out in the hard game of life. 7 £ewiotA L. Afton T. Aiken D. Allshouse M. E. Aljoe S. A. Allgeiei S. J.

Some of them were pleasant, some ridiculous, some not so pleasant. The literary staff decided to preserve just a few of these memories in this short space. After discussing the subject, the seniors each submitted a brief memory. Of course, many of them were duplicates. However, we still remember - - - How the halls were filled with those horrible odors from the students' experiments in Dr. Gayley's chemistry classes - - -Student Days when we changed places with the teachers and administration and oh, what fun the janitors had - - - the snake which escaped from the aquarium in Biology class - - - The day in room 206 when the window broke over Edgar Huffman's head - - - Miss Ellis's beautiful snake plant that the boys wouldn't resist - - - the many times Bob Garvey went to sleep in P. O. D. and Chemistry - - - How proud Donna Hoffman was when she returned to school after Christmas vacation wearing a diamond - - - The odd color of Tim's car - - - Buster Smith's project of taking everyone's pencils, including the teachers' - - -The arguments Doris Harriff had with Art Deemer in P. O. D.--The fun we had in our Sophomore year with our Bunny Hop - - - The time Pat Thomas knocked the slats out of the bed in the Home Ec. Cottage - - - When Gary Bowley got a ticket for making a U-turn on Main Street - - - The soaking some of the girls got on the Junior picnic when thrown into a creek - - - The fun-filled hours of class play practices - - - When Jim Hetrick went to get a girl at her house, but got the wrong house - - - The time Dick Shaffer, Ronnie Hurd, Joe Thomas, and Don Shilling went to the Salvation Army for a hand out - - - In fifth grade when Chuck Phillips got paddled by Mr. Hetrick, and ran out of the room to go home to tell his mother - - - The one o'clock cigarettes on Church Street at lunch time - - - When Mr. Koven burned Joe Thomas with a blow torch - - - Jeanie with the light brown hair - - - The day we disected a lobster in Biology - - - The dog collar fad - - -When Joe Thomas, Eric Johnston, Don Shilling, and Ronnie Hurd hopped a truck to Clarion when it stopped at a stop sign - - - When Grancie fell into the coal bin - - - The lover sessions in the hall - - - Most of all we will remember the day we received our diplomas. 18 Ike £h4 Chapter Twelve in the lives of the Seniors—Class of 1954.

He has devoted his life to teaching physics and chemistry as well as driving into his pupils the need for less nonsense and more reading of good literature. He, himself, is an example of a well-read person with his excellent vocabulary. In addition to helping us in high school, he helps those who want to go to college or into any other type of training. We, the class of fifty-four, thank you. Doctor Gayley, for being what you are, and may your ideals never falter, for we are sure the classes which follow us will enjoy your lectures and classes as much as we have. Srcchoille High School One of the most difficult writing tasks in preparing a yearbook is to find words to thank the Board of Education. These are the men who, in the literal sense, give freely of their time to promote academic and social standards. Each man here is a leader in Brookville, and each is vitally interested in giving us the best in teachers, up-to-date equipment, and educational opportunities. So, you see, it is difficult in a few words to say an adequate thanks for the things we so often take for granted. Prone ter A 0{j Academic Soard education Dr. Craig Hendricks, H. Chester Markle, David D. Reid, M. G. Van derhofF, Clair E. Hepler. 22 HaAAon iZockeif—SupertiAhPrincipal Mr. Hasson Rockey is our supervising principal. He attended Allegheny College where he received his B. S. degree and Pennsylvania State University. Mr. Rockey received his Masters Degree from the University of Pittsburgh. In the Who's Who of Education in 1952 you will find that he was fortunate enough to be entered. He is a Mason and a Shriner and belongs to the Ki-wanis Club. Prior to coming to B. H. S., Mr. Rockey was a Physical Science teacher and basketball coach to the girls and boys. rfnd Social Standard Iftildred tflcClain School Secretary Miss McClain is Mr. Rockey's secretary. Prior to coming as a secretary for our school. Miss McClain worked for the Punxsu-tawney Spirit and was the one who started the first Brookville Page. Although many of the students don't see or realize how much work goes out of her office, the fact remains that she is a very busy but happy person. 23 iauM nce tflcMnight CharleA Phillip A % The School OjjficeA The senior high office is o place of activity most of the time. Let's take a moment to meet our principal Mr. McKnight. Mr. McKnight came to us last year after a varied career in teaching, coaching, and directing of school personnel. He is a graduate of Indiana State Teachers' College with B. S. and M. S. degrees, and he is a member of Phi Delta Kappa, National Honorary Fraternity in Psychology. In addition to his school interest, Mr. McKnight is very active in civic work in the community. All of us regard Mr. Charles Phillips as one of our dearest and best friends. Each of us is aware of his keen interest in us, not as mass education but as individuals. Mr. Phillips attended Waynesburg College and received his Master's degree from the University of Pittsburgh. Aside from being junior high school principal, Mr. Phillips teaches algebra and manages the various athletic programs of our school district. Vancif £chucherA foelftctte Mrs. DeMotte is our Senior High secretary. Her duties are so numerous that the average student does not realize the numerous jobs that face her each day, such things as schedules, permanent records, scholastic reports, absence and tardy records, letters, and a thousand other odd jobs every day. Mrs. DeMotte, who is a graduate of the Wood Secretarial School in New York City, held various secretarial jobs before joining our staff. We certainly thank Nancy for all the hard work she does and for so patiently helping us. 24 Robert Buchanan, Frank Caimi, Mrs. Maxine Stephens The Commercial Department has the job of preparing students for various types of jobs in the business world. Students are also aided in securing jobs after they graduate. This department is responsible for making many graduates of B. H. S. competent office workers. At the head of the Commercial Department is Mr. Frank Caimi, a graduate of Indiana State Teachers College and New York University. He teaches Typing I and II, Shorthand I and II, Business law, and Economic Geography; these last two subjects are recent additions to the Commercial curriculum. Besides his teaching duties, he acts as a sponsor for the yearbook. Another teacher in the Commercial Department is Mrs. Maxine Stephens. Besides teaching Typing I and II, Business English, Transcription, Office Practice, and Exploratory, she sponsors the high school newspaper, the BEAM. Mrs. Stephens was graduated from Grove City College. Mr. Robert Buchanan, who joined the faculty late in the year 1952-1953, has since been teaching Typing I, Bookkeeping I, Business Math, Retailing II, and Consumer Education. His outside activities include keeping the books of the cafeteria and helping the basketball coaches.

The English Department is composed of seven teachers. Three of these teachers serve the junior high school. They are Mrs. Marguerite Sharpe, Mrs. Mary Ann Jones, and Mrs. Elizabeth Butler. Although some literature is taught in junior high school, the primary work is done in grammar, sentence structure, paragraph writing, and other basic requisites. There are four teachers of English in senior high. Miss Hall spends her day teaching oral conv munication. All sophomores take speech, and many juniors and seniors continue through eleventh and twelfth grade.

Art, Seek A, and tfluAic (jitie PleaAure First on our list of fine arts is the library. As you all know. Miss Mary Long is our librarian. Miss Long went to Hood College and to Clarion State Teachers College. She likes sports, traveling, and reading. Besides all her work in taking care of the books in the library, she is sponsor of the library club, a group of seventeen students that assist her. All in all, Miss Long has very few minutes to herself in a regular school day. Next is the well-known band, which is directed by Mr. Harry Neuhard. Mr. Neuhard went to Penn State University. Besides the band, Mr. Neuhart directs the clarinet quartet and the dance band. If you spend much time at the Y. M. C. A., you'll discover he does too. He works very hard to make our band one of the best, and we are all sure he does his job well. Another group is the Art Department, which is directed by Mr. Charles Park. Mr. Park had his training at Washington and Jefferson. Outside of his art classes, he sponsors the Art Club and the class plays. The Art Club consists of members who are interested in special art work. We all know Mr. Park worked very hard on the class plays, which he made a success. Next and last is the music department directed by Miss Ro-mayne Aumiller, who also went to Penn State. Beside her music classes, she has the choruses and special singing groups. The vocal music department is a success only by much hard work in selecting music, rehearsing groups, and preparing performances for the public. Harry Neuhard, Mary Long, Romayne Aumiller, Charles Park Bertha Black, Katheryn Smith, Jean Patton 'Jweigh ianquaqeA fire Practical and Cultural Foreign Languages rank very high in Brookville Schools. French and Latin are the only foreign subjects taught but student participation in these subjects is great. In our French department, we have our capable French teacher. Miss Black, who teaches Francois I and II and is sponsor of Le Cercle Francois. Her aim in teaching French is to get students to learn the fundamentals of the language and then use them in speaking French. She emphasizes that speaking French can be useful and that pronunciation of the words properly is important. In the Latin department, we have Mrs. Smith and Miss Patton as instructors. Mrs. Smith is Guidance Counselor as well as the Latin I and II teacher. Mrs. Smith's problem is to see that the students learn the formation and derivation of Roman words and learn to use them in a sentence. The grammar part of Latin is very important in the first two years of Latin. Miss Patton, who teaches Latin III and IV, spends most of her time in seeing that the students know how to read Latin. Cicero and Virgil are two of the selections she might choose for a student to read. In addition to teaching Junior English and Latin III and IV, Miss Patton is also sponsor of the Argonauts. When speaking of French and Latin, it is known that people can learn to speak French fluently while Latin would be hard to speak. Although many people take French for the purpose of learning to speak it, Latin is not a commonly spoken language; it provides a background meaning for many of today's words. William Moore, Charlotte Reid, Myra McFadden, John Chillcott, Charles Phillips fttatkematicA Prepare for fiuAine and Science Mathematics for the Brookville High School has been planned with the idea of filling the needs of two groups of pupils; those who have ability and interest but have little thought of its future use; and those who desire it as the basis for future work in science and mathematics. Teachers try to relate the work as closely as possible to the normal activities of the social and business world. Mathematics has often been called the Queen of the Sciences and is even more important in our every day lives. Ever since man has wanted to know the number of his livestock, mathematics has grown broader and broader, till it includes every field and business there is. Our high school faculty contains five teachers in the Mathematics department. Mr. Chillcott teaches math to the seventh and eighth grades, and he also coaches football and basketball. Mr. Phillips teaches algebra in the ninth grade and is the ahtletic sponsor for our school. Mr. Moore teaches both algebra and General Math to freshmen. In Senior High, Senior Math is taught by Mrs. Reid. Miss McFadden teaches Algebra II, Plane Geometry, Trigonometry, and advanced Algebra. She is also a sponsor of Tru Blu, Student Council, and a member of the student Loan Fund. John Korb, Roy Bowley, and Tom Aiken stud the complexities of a giant slide rule. 29 Marlene Park, Margie Michael, Anna M o r r e s, Emogene Delp, Sandy A!!geier, Molly Butlers, Ncncy Cook, Sue Buzard, Sue DeMotte. PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEVELOPS MANY DIFFERENT SKILLS A tjftind Weed A Scdif The Physical Education Department of our school system is one that gives much satisfaction. It gives the students a chance to get exercise when they otherwise have no way of obtaining the amount needed. More than that, gym gives us a break between class periods, but usually we are more tired when we leave class than when we go. The heads of this department are Mr. Benjamin Jones and Mrs. Eleanor Ewing, who have listened patiently to all the excuses: I forgot my gym suit, or I lost my locker key. Mrs. Ewing teaches her health classes from grades seven to ten and physical education classes all through the system. She is a very good and patient worker as she helps our faithful cheerleaders to get their cheers to perfection. Mr. Jones also teaches his physical education and health classes. He has helped the boys very much through all the football season. One of our annual events, which comes through the hard work of both Mrs. Ewing and Mr. Jones, is the gym exhibition. Just the senior high students participate in this. Here, the public is invited to see the students show the different things they have learned throughout the school year.

BIOLOGY STUDENTS STUDY THE STRUCTURE OF ONIONS (jecgraphij A 4 Science % 7c 4a if J Wcrl4 Five teachers compose our science department. Mrs. Pauline Anderson is one of the science teachers in junior high. She teaches Geography to the seventh and eighth grades. Mr. Charles Wingert teaches Geography to some of the eighth grades, and also teaches General Science to the freshmen. In senior high we have Mr. Ralph Layman teaching Physical Science to both juniors and seniors. Doctor Gayley teaches Physics, gives the juniors a very good outlook on what is to come if he takes Chemistry his senior year. Doctor Gayley also teaches Applied Chemistry and Elements of Chemistry to the seniors. Mr. Donald Ewing com- pletes the list of science teachers in our school system. Biology is usually taught during the sophomore year. This was a very interesting subject for those of us who were intrigued by plant and animal life. We remember that when we were studying about crustaceans we disected a lobster. Not all of us took all of the science offered us, but the majority of us appreciated the ones we did take. We owe the Science Department a debt of thanks for being patient with those of us who are not scientifically inclined, and for helping those more interested in increasing their knowledge.

Mr. Layman is our agriculture teacher. It is his job to give learning in the processes of correct farming. He inspects all farm projects. He is also sponsor of the Future Farmers of America. Mrs. Hinrichsen and Miss Millen teach the fundamentals of homemaking. They are co-sponsors of the Future Homemakers of America. Mrs. Hinrichsen resigned at the end of the first semester. She was replaced by Mrs. Johnson. Mr. Koven returned this year after a second hitch in the Army. He teaches the shop and manual training courses. Wayne Wolford, Charlotte Reid, Max Means, Mary Ann Jones, Metro Yurchak, Russel McGaughey. Social Studies Promote World 'Understands Our history department provides the student with a knowledge of the world and its government. Mr. McGaughey is a very competent teacher who has classes in Problems of Democracy and American History. In P. O. D. classes we learn about government, its problems, and the current events of the world. The students here learn to be good, well-informed citizens. Mr. Wolford has all of the high school World History classes this year, while Mr. Means has the junior high classes. They provide us with the background knowledge of world civilization. American History is taught in senior high school by Mr. McGaughey, Mrs. Reid, and Mr. Wolford, and in junior high by Mr. Means and Mrs. Jones. Mr. Yurchak initiates the junior high students into the fundamentals of our government in Civics classes and the knowledge of our state in Pennsylvania History. Mrs. Stockdale joined the faculty in February.

(jirL Club A Create 'Jrieh kipA SUB-DEB The Sub-Deb is an organization comprised of twenty girls. Ten are elected at the end of their junior year, and ten girls are elected at the beginning of their senior year. The object of this club is to promote friendly relations in and out of school. We had many activities this year. We had slumber parties at which we had fun. To top this off we had a formal Christmas dance which was a huge success. Of course in all these activities, we had the capable leadership of our officers. President, Marlene Park; Vice President, Sue Buzard; Secretary, Dorothy Himes; and the protector of the money, Pat Thomas. The meetings were held at the Y. M. C. A. on alternate Monday nights. The meeting usually consisted of business, some gossip, and the good part—the refreshments. We have again this year as our sponsor, Mrs. Jones. I believe every girl will remember for years to come Sub-Deb and what it stands for. TRU BLU Tru Blu is a merry organization consisting of thirty members. Each member is filled with a spirit of friendliness and loyalty to the club. Tru Blu meets on alternate Thursday nights in the Y Canteen. At every meeting there is a committee assigned to assure us of refreshments and entertainment. Each year the club elects a Senior girl as president of Tru Blu and Sandra Allgeier was given the honor this year. Our other competent officers are: Vice President, Shirley Ames; Secretary, Molly Ann Bullers; Treasurer, Sue DeMotte. At the beginning of the new school year, after the new members are elected, it is traditional that we have a Tureen Dinner. This is always enjoyed by everyone. In addition to the Tureen Dinner, we also have many other activities that are enjoyed. For instance, our Thanksgiving basket for some needy family, Valentine Party, Talent Show, and Hair Styling. I am sure everyone enjoyed being a member of Tru Blu. 36 TRI-HI-Y Front Row: Martha Shove-stull, Margie Reinsel, Marjory Sebring, Mary Lou Snyder, Sandy Allgeier, Anna Morres, Margarel Evans, Barbara Wetzel!, Sue DeMotte, Sue Stahl-man, Nita Hannerz, Don-no Hoffman.

The clubs try to promote a three-fold purpose: The development of Spirit, Mind, and Body and service to Home, Church, and School. Its aim is To create, maintain, and extend throughout the community high standards of good Christian character. During the course of the year the club had a Christmas party, Valentine's party, slumber parties, winter carnival, and dances. The girls ordered letters and sweaters to represent the club symbol. The colors of the TRI-HI-Y are red and white. When the formal initiation arrives, each new member is given a red and white ribbon which symbolizes the club. There are thirty-four members in TRI-HI-Y, all of whom were elected by old members of the club and were invited to join if they would uphold the standards of the club. The officers are: President, Anna Morres; Vice President, Margaret Evans; Secretary, Sandra Allgeier; Treasurer, Barbara Wetzell. BETA TRI-HI-Y is composed of twenty-nine members from Junior High. They were organized to promote friendly relations and good Christian character among their own age group. Their activities vary greatly during the year. Among them are slumber parties, initiation of new members, Christmas Dance, Easter Program, and bake sales. The sponsor of BETA TRI-HI-Y is Mrs. Sharpe.

The French Club was organized in 1948. It has, since its organization, done many things for the French Department. Miss Black is the sponsor of Le Cercle Francois. This year the club had a total of twenty-seven members, sponsor included. Our officers are: Sandra Allgeier, President; Barbara Wetzell, Vice President; Molly Bullers, Secretary; and Herb Thrush, Treasurer. The French Club has contributed a table, two French dictionaries, a map of France, and a record player for use in the French Department. It has also given two scenic pictures and French and British flags to Room 108, two books to the library, sent clothes to Europe, and a CARE package to France. The major activities of the club this year were the sale of Christmas candy, a trip to Pittsburgh, a bake sale, and several dances. One was a dance with a box social as the featured attraction, the other was one in which we used a sidewalk cafe as the background. Le Cercle Francois is one of the newer organizations in the school. It has provided much entertainment, and the beginnings of an understanding of French culture and the French way of life. Vive Le Cercle Francois!

There are four permanent members, elected in their Sophomore year, from each class. The twelve non-permanent members are elected from each home room. The Student Council is active in many ways. This year it sent four members, Tom Haskell, Margie Solinsky, Molly Allshouse, and Hazel Shaffer, to the convention at Westview High School. Our Student Council is led by four officers. The president is Gary Glontz who was elected by the vote of the Senior High students. The other officers are elected by the council itself. Our vice president is Walter Dick, whose main duties are to act as president pro tempore before the president is elected and to distribute money-making activities to organizations. Sandy Allgeier, acting as secretary, takes care of the minutes and roll call. Mollie Allshouse, the treasurer is responsible for the Student Council finances.

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 Educations 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 agriculture leadership, co-operative citizenship, improve agriculture, and patriotism. The Freshman get initiated each year into the F. F. A. as Green Hands. During the four years of agriculture they get the full meaning of our 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 the ear of corn, which represents common agricultural interest since corn is native to America and grown in every state; the eagle, indicative of the national scope of the organization. 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, vegetable gardening, forestry, soil conservation, farm mechanics, 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. Here the boys learn to weld and work with metals. The third and most important phase of the course is the project. Some of the most interesting activities we have enjoyed during the year are: hay rides, square dance and Hallowe'en party, weiner roast, Greenhand Initiation, Christmas Party, project tour during summer. Farm Show trip. Tractor Driving Contest, and Horse Shoe Pitching Contest. We also send a delegate to the convention in January at Harrisburg. We had two boys that went this year.

The main purpose of this club is to create new interest in the future homes of America. The club emblem is octagonal in shape and bears the name of the organization around the top and below is the motto Toward New Horizons. The colors of F. H. A. are red and white. They are symbolic of youth and signify home life. Their flower is a red rose, a symbol of vibrant, glowing health. The year of 1953-54 has been very active for the Brookville Chapter. In October, a delegation attended the District Conference held at Warren High School. The purpose of this conference was to better ourselves as members of the organization and to get new ideas on ways of serving our school and community. The main project carried on by F. H. A. as a service to the school is the serving of the many banquets held in the school cafeteria. The club members assist with the food preparation, service, and clean up at these affairs. Each year, the group plans a special educational field trip. This year, the girls plan to attend the Spring Weekend Open House exhibit at the Pennsylvania State University School of Home Economics. Other activities planned by the F. H. A. include bake sales, dances, and other money-raising projects to help in their current project of purchasing new dishes for the Home Economics Cottage. Miss Willanna Millen, Mrs. Helen Hinrichsen, and Mrs. Mildred Johnson are the Homemaking instructors and F. H. A. advisors.

The iibrarii KeepA The ScchA Here in Brookville High School the library plays an important role in the student lives. The library is a place to find a book for a book report or just plain enjoyment. It is the source of reference, brief reference such as the answers to quiz programs or lengthy reference for themes. It is a treasured retreat from the humdrum study halls to the fascinating world of pictures, magazines, and books. It is a very public garden for the flowering of romance. That is our library from eight-thirty every morning until four in the afternoon. The girls pictured above are the strong force behind the powerful dynamo. These are the girls who check the books, chase the delinquents, dust the furniture, keep the place neat, and shelve the books. All of the girls are proud of the knowledge they have gained in their work, and all of us are thankful for the help they give each of us.

PreAA Club SringA The tleieA Every other Friday, near dismissal time an event that is looked forward to by everyone in the high school occurs—the selling of the B. H. S. Beam, the school newspaper. This brings to the students and teachers of the whole school the latest news, original stories and poems, jokes, cartoons and many other features. Although the name, the BEAM, has remained the same for a number of years, this year's staff has made some changes. For example, we no longer have a gossip column but a section of social news of all kinds written descriptively by Margie Reinsel. As in other years, the illustrating and lettering is handled by one staff member, who is, this year, the very capable Bill McManigal. Write-up of sports events are done by a couple of sports enthusiasts, Walter Dick and Marlene Park. Not only does the BEAM carry write-ups on what has already happened around school but it has a schedule of events that are coming in the near future obtained by Edgar Huffman, not from a crystal ball, but from files in the office. On the business end, Eleanor Michael takes care of advertising and Karen Stewart keeps track of finances. We musn't forget the office practice students, the typists whom we couldn't get along without. Last but not least are the slave drivers or editors, Ruth Moore and her assistant John Siar and the very patient, hardworking sponsor, Mrs. Stephens.

Vational Honor Society To be chosen a member of the National Honor Society is one of the greatest honors which can be bestowed upon any student. All those who are chosen must rank exceptionally high in the following requirements: The students must be within the upper third of their class and have the traits of leadership, service, character, and scholarship. After the students are selected, they are then made members at ci very impressive formal initiation where they repeat the following pledge: I pledge myself to uphold the high purpose of this sociely to which I have been elected, striving in every way by word and deed to make its ideals the ideals of my school and my life. After repeating the pledge, it is the duty of every member to uphold the requirements of the society. This year the group has planned many activities under the direction of their very capable sponsor.

These students are the ones who have shown the most ability in drawing and painting. They work in many different media: charcoal, pastel, water color, tempera, ink, etc. The subject matter is varied. Don Sushereba has done a large tempera portrait from a photograph of Albert Einstein, also pastel work illustrating Shakespeare. Ronnie Stahl-man, who has done some things in oil, shows a preference for painting ships. Bud Hetrick is interested in painting swanky autos. Margaret Evans is particularly good at perspective. Doris Harriff likes to work from snapshots of her friends. Ruth Moore, Marlene Park, and Barbara Rote are three veteran art students who work well in any medium. Every spring some thirty members of the club exhibit about a hundred and fifty drawings and paintings. THE ARGONAUTS The Argonauts is an organization made up of our fourteen advanced Latin students under the direction of Miss Jean Patton. The purpose of this club is to learn more of the culture of the Roman Empire. We also use the Roman names for our officers, who are as follows: Consul (President), Molly Ann Bullers; Vice Consul (Vice President), Shirley Ames; Praetor (Secretary), Connie Grimes; and Quaestor (Treasurer), Gary Glontz. In our meetings, under the direction of the program committee, we work crossword puzzles, riddles, and games in Latin, and occasionally a play. For our money making projects, we sold candy, popcorn, and coke at the Junior Class Play; we sold concessions at some of the basketball games; and on February 19, we held our biggest money making project, the talent show. Our money-making activities are to prepare for the annual trip to Pittsburgh, where we plan to visit the Latin Show and the Buhl Planetarium. 46 Junior ClaAA Plaif MEN ARE LIKE STREETCARS' Front Row: Joe Palmier, Hozel Shaffer, Jim Leathers, Mr. Park, Eleanor Michael, H a r r y Watters, Gay Clover.

JuAt icck - - Cher uA 9A Vet Required The high school MIXED CHORUS this year consisted of about one-hundred boys and girls. It is one of the groups in school that is not required and we must say it is well attended. Of course, this year there were the two annual concerts. First was the Christmas concert which was held in December. At this concert the members spent the evning singing Christmas carols and other suitable Christmas songs. Then in the spring, there was the Spring Concert which was formal. Here they also showed talent in singing. Chorus is a lot of fun and a lot of hard work, but it is enjoyed by all. 50 GIRLS' CHORUS Front Row: D. Gluck, J. Boyer, L. Coulter, H. Osborne, M. Zahl, C. Grimes, J. Pendel-ton, M. Snyder.

The choruses were well attended even though they are not required. Memberships are open to any boy or girl who enjoys singing and wants to join. Both the boys and the girls have special parts in the two annual concerts. The boys' and girls' choruses consist of Sophomore, Junior, and Senior boys and girls who are interested in the music world. Their hard work under the direction of Miss Aumiller deserves much credit. 51 rf Capella Front Row: W. lupher, R. Miller, J. Ferraro, R. Park, R. Brocious, B. Harding, J. Foulkrod, R. Haney, J.

The Choir has been functioning for three years since Miss Aumiller first organized the group. The Girls' Chorale, composed of ten senior and junior girls, is a new addition to our music department this year. The Girls' Ensemble has been part of our system since 1951. Miss Aumiller's diligent work paid off in harmonious dividends with these three groups. SENIOR BOYS' QUARTET Bud Hetrick, Tom Moore, Perry Monnoyer, Eugene Eshbough. SENIOR GIRLS' SEXTET Barbara Wetzell, Sue Buzard, Sandy Allgeier, Amelia Ferraro, Anna Morres, Dorothy Himes. Special (jrcupA Chccuracfe 7alent The GIRLS' SEXTET is a fairly new group. It was organized last year and is composed of six girls from the Senior Class. They are Amelia Ferrara and Anna Morres who sing first soprano, Dorothy Himes and Barbara Wetzell who sing second soprano, and Sue Buzard and Sandra Allgeier who sing alto. They sang last year in assemblies and for the Junior Class Play, and also for the finale they sang for the Junior and Senior Banquet. The SENIOR GIRLS' TRIO is a new group this year. It is composed of three songsters from Senior class; namely, Amelia Ferraro, who sings first soprano, Dorothy Himes, who sings second soprano, and Marlene Park, who sings alto. The trio has made numerous appearances in assemblies, our annual concerts, and they have sung many times for the townspeople. I know that all the girls that have been in special groups or mixed will always be grateful to Miss Aumiller, our teacher. The BOYS' QUARTET was organized in their freshmen year. It consists of four boys from .he Senior Class: Bud Hetrick, who sings first tenor; Tom Moore, who sings second tenor; Gene Eshbough, who sings baritone; and Perry Monnoyer, who sings bass. They have sung for our different town groups many times. 53 77? BROOKVILLE HIGH SCHOOL BAND Activities 0{j The Sawd Every morning at about 7:45 you can see some fifty band members on their way up the long hill for their daily practice in the band room or out on the field by the school. During the past few years the band, like the football team, can be seen practicing for football season during the summer months. They practice for their half time drill where they show off their marching drills and skits. At the last two home games the band gave two skits which went over very successfully. They were The Bull Fight and Fearless Fanny . This year our band went to Penn State for their annual band day. Although there was ten inches of snow and the bands could not parade, everyone enjoyed himself very much. At half time of the basketball games the band can be heard playing a couple popular songs around the school, Bunnv Hop and the Hokey Pokey. After football season all the band members settle down to start the long hours of practice for the annual winter concert which lies ahead. Although the practice sometimes becomes disheartening, we always trv to do our best so that our concert will be a success. All this could not happen without our director, Mr. Neuhard.

The Woodwind Quartet has played several times in assemblies and for special occasions. The Off-Beats, our very popular dance band, was heard at the school dances and in assemblies. All of the seniors hate to leave the band this year. Many of them have played in the band since their early junior high school days. It goes without saying that the band will miss them, too. 55 Scouting The School at iunchtime Bottom Row: Joyce Hepler, Jane Stahlman, Jim Leathers, Miss Ellis, Don Shilling, Melvin Shilling, Eileen Michael.

Football is first on our agenda. Brookville's gridiron warriors can be commended for the fine efforts. Basketball comes next and this past season was one that will be long remembered. In the spring, our famed golf team is the topic of discussion. So our saying is, If you're in sports, you're not in trouble. 57 VARSITY BASKETBALL PLAYERS—Bottom: Gary Glontz, Val Means, Bud Hetrick, Chuck Phillips, Topper Henry.

Coached fln4 fttanagetd he The Perking Up An4 Picking Up Did you ever think what a team would be like if there were no coaches or managers? You're right, it just wouldn't be a team. A team has to have someone to come to when the going gets rough, someone to see that all of the equipment is in good shape. A team is not complete by itself but takes a coach and his managers to make it whole. That's why we have a football coach, Mr. Jones; his assistants, Mr. Yurchak, Mr. Chilcott, and Mr. Ewing. The football managers were senior Gary Bowley, and three freshmen, John Fleming, Richie Crooks, and Jerry Hepler. As for basketball, our varsity coach was Mr. Chilcott; junior varsity coach, Mr. Yurchak; and Junior High coach, Mr. Ewing. The basketball managers were senior. Art Deemer and junior, John Rockey. We, the class of 1954, thank the coaches and managers for their time and patience.

They were handicapped by the lack of inexperienced players and several key injuries at inopportune moments. But in spite of this, they played good ball. The fact that the underclassmen helped carry some of the load for the seniors gave them that much needed experience for next year. But the seniors, many of them first year men, had to carry the team most of the way through the rough schedule. Fiscus, Jim Wingard, Henry Huffman, Bill Harding, Jcctball ioad Let's take a look at the seniors individually and see how they carried the team through this unfortunate season. JIM MARTZ—In his first year out, Jim proved to be a valuable asset to the team. Although Jim wasn't on the offensive line-up very often, he proved his worthiness on defense as a defensive end and linebacker. JOHN REITZ—The biggest man on the squad, John tipped the scales at 235. Although, playing with a broken finger all season, John held down the tackle position as offense and played middleman on the line in defense. He was known as Tiny and as Tank to the team. CHUCK PHILLIPS—One of the three lettermen on the team. Chuck played the end position on offense and linebacker on defense. He was known to the team as Glue Fingers because of his pass catching ability. GARY GLONTZ—Gary shifted from quarterback to guard position in the early part of the season. On defense, he played the linebacker spot with skill and courage. Gary was captain of the team and known to his team mates as Garr. BOB BAKER—One of our better backfield men. Bob played both quarterback and halfback. He led the team on offense, scoring six touchdowns, and passing for five touchdowns. On defense, he played defensive end and linebacker. He was known as Bonny to the team. VAL MEANS—One of the smallest men on the team, Val played halfback on offense and de- fensive halfback on defense with precision and courage. He will always be remembered for his spirited play. He was known to the team as Valueless. PERRY MONNOYER—Perry played the fullback position on the team. His bone-crushing plunges on offense and his spine tingling tackles on defense, operating as a linebacker, thrilled many a fan and player. He was known to the team as Boogie. MAX FERGUSON—Max, playing his first year of varsity ball, held down the guard position on offense. On defense, he played tackle against the bruising forward wall. He was known as the Pansy Terror to the team. LARRY TRAISTER—In his first year of varsity ball, Larry proved to be one of the better blockers on the team. On offense he played defensive end and linebacker. 64 CHEERLEADERS ARE THE SPIRIT behind the team spirit and school spirit.

Their campaign for offices this year was indicative of the good school spirit which exists in our school. The Sophomores this year elected Bob Pence as president; Jane Stahlman, vice president; Lillian Ewing, secretary; Andee Lynn McManigal, treasurer, as their leaders. We know the people are capable of their offices and will make 1954-55 a successful school year. The Senior Class of 1954 would like to wish the underclasses the best of luck in their remaining years in Brookville High School.

Our yearbook this year was under the direction of Mr. Frank Caimi, Sue DeMotte, Donna Hoffman, Marlene Park, Miss Violet Ellis, and Barbara Wetzell. Mr. Caimi has been co-sponsor of the yearbook for eight years. He has charge of the yearbook funds, such as seeing the money is all collected and seeing that bills are promptly paid. Another important duty is to have a photographer come in to take all the necessary pictures. When the pictures are returned, Mr. Caimi spends many hours, both inside and outside school, cutting, pasting, and sending these pictures to the printers. Sue DeMotte was our very capable business manager. She showed her ability to manage people by the wonderful job that she did in setting up our campaign for yearbook funds. Sue did a lot of threatening, coaxing, and browbeating to get her committee rolling. After the campaign drive was over, she then wrote thank-you notes to the contributors. Marlene Park was the talented editor of our yearbook. She, together, with our very cooperative co-editor, Donna Hoffman, spent many hours in setting up the plan of the Echo. Almost every first period in the morning they could be found in room 101 busily helping Mr. Caimi cut and paste pictures. Miss Ellis was the other co-sponsor of the yearbook. She has been a sponsor for six years. She contributes much of her time in planning the write-ups for the yearbook. After the write-ups hove been turned in, it is her job to proof-read the articles, to cut out any unnecessary sentences or add sentences to make them more lengthy. Barbara Wetzell was the efficient and ever-striving literary editor of our Echo. Although Barbara had efficient helpers, she, herself, had to first decide the type of write-ups. Then her next duty was to see that the committee got their write-ups in before the deadline. She then proof-read the printer's copy for errors or additions. And that is the story of how our yearbook was edited. BUSINESS AND LITERARY COMMITTEES—Kneeling: Eugene Eshbaugh, Bud Hetrick, Art Deemer, Leroy Afton, Dick Fleming.

However, if you were to ask any of the members of the various yearbook committees. I'm sure they would tell you there is more work than meets the eye. The snapshot committee is responsible for those little gems in which the students are pictured at various stages of their school years or at various activities. It is the job of this committee to see that there are pictures in this section of as many people as possible. Although pictures are an important part of every yearbook, they are of little value without the write-ups which follow them. The group of seniors who are responsible for these write- ups is fittingly known as the Literary Committee. Members of the group must obtain correct information from each organization and group. Val Means, Herb Thrush and Gary Glontz are also members of this committee although they are not pictured. These committees help to make our yearbook interesting, entertaining and informative. But a yearbook must have capital in order to get underway. This is the responsibility of the Business Committee. It is their job to solicit the stores and businessmen of Brookville for contributions. It is this committee that decided how good our yearbook can be, by the amount of contributions they receive; but it is the other ones who decide how good it will be. - • - •
