 What's with all the changes? Everytime we turned around, something was different. This was out of the ordinary because for years nothing has changed. To the students that have passed through over the years, everything has been the same. Then, all of the sudden, things were different! Not only have the changes occured in the physical appearance of our school and it's close surroundings but in the outlook of the students and faculty. For years, traditions have been a big deal to Brown County. Certain things are just done in a certain way because, It's always been done that way! But now, those traditions are being broken with hopes for the future. Take the first day of school. Everyone was having to learn what you could and couldn't do.

The steps were the perfect place for gab sessions or even to rest a little while and daydream. During the summer, the cheer- leaders and Goldsteppers sometimes practiced there enjoying the sunshine. Even without the mall students have been able to find ways to entertain themselves at lunch time.
