THE MO GGRAM CLUB The Monogram Club is one of the new clubs formed at Brosville this year. Sponsored by Mr. Bob Reece, Mr. Gerald Adams, Miss Ruby Simpson, and Miss Ellen Coleman, it is working toward becoming one of the school's best organizations. The purpose of the club is to promote sportsman- ship in the school. Those who have lettered in any sport, cheerleading or managing of a team, are eligible for membership. There are now about 32 members. During the year the Monogram Club sponsored the Homecoming Football Game and the Homecoming Dance which followed the game. This proved to be one of the best enjoyed events of the year. In order to raise money, the club sold cans of artificial snow and Brosville shirts. The club, though newly formed, is now an organized club of merit.
