Brookville High School - Echo Yearbook (Brookville, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1955 volume:

ALMA MATER We sing to Brookville High School, The high school on the hill, The name that spurs us onward And makes our senses thrill. Hail! We’ll never forget our classmates, Our happy high school years; We raise our voice in hearty cheer To the school each one reveres. We pray that time will greet us As ever kind and strong; Forever we’ll be loyal And sing our joyful song. Hail! When from the field we wander. When youth has passed us by. E’en then with fleeting breath We ll praise our dear old Brookville High. THE ECHO Of BROOKVILLE JUNIOR-SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 1955 BROOKVILLE, l PENNSYLVANIA FOREWORD As the 1955 Echo goes to press, plans for the Jefferson County Sesquieentennial are under way. Everyone is showing signs of excitement; there is discussion of contacting former residents, selecting a queen, perhaps a pageant, and even more tangible evidence in the form of beards, goatees, sideburns, and moustaches to make the 1955’ers resemble their pioneer ancestors. We in school cannot help but glance back over the years to see the almost miraculous changes that one hundred and fifty years have brought to education here. The year 1804 showed one school in this area, a cnide log building with seats of split logs, greased paper for windows, and an open fireplace. It was located on the land now belonging to the County Home Farm. 1806—another school between Port Barnett and Brookville. 1837—a school in Brookville. The Act of 1809 provided education for children aged five to twelve whose parents could not afford education. 1834—Public School Law provides free education. School term —three months. 1856—the first county institute. Civil War—a trend toward schools of more than one room. 1864 — average teacher’s salary — $96.51 yearly. 1869—5,395 pupils in Jefferson County. 1900—12,518 pupils in school. 1930— increasing trend toward consolidation. The schools that we have known are a far cry from that early log cabin with the greased paper windows. No doubt the next one hundred and fiftv years will change the things we know as radically as the past changed the pioneers’ school. Is the dream of free colleges too far ahead? Maybe just a new junior-senior high school is vision enough. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Dedication ...................... Seniors .........................

As our sponsor, she lias guided us and goaded 11s. When the class had financial difficulties, she helped 11s to stretch the pennies and make them reach. When as individuals we needed jobs, she sought them for us. In the past year we have asked about requirements for college, nurses' training, and schools of special training; and Mrs. Smith has eagerly given 11s sources of material or, if possible, definite information. As our friend she has enjoyed with us our parties, banquets, and dances. We will always remember her as Guidance Counselor, Latin and English instructor, and good friend. 4 5 EVELYN ALJOE Academic “Dimples’ Art Club . . . definitely not a “dumb blonde . . . studious and well-mannered . . . loves horses . . . quiet.

The less difficult questions may rise in the girls’ club which she sponsors. She is always willing to help students with school work or to talk over problems which are encountered in this complex life we lead in B. H. S. Therefore, for her quiet sense or humor, her help, and her friendship, we salute — Miss McFadden. 26 Mr. Rockey and the Board of Education — the Guiding Light of our schools — working with and for the pupils of Longview, Northside, Junior High, and Senior High — annual budget — teacher interviews — problems of buildings and funds for the future — our thanks to these men for giving us a fine school of which we can be proud.
