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.

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

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
