To you VIOLET M. 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
