BROWN ELL BELLES Left to right: Judy Olson, Madelon Shaw, Assistant Editor, Marcia Day, Thea Jean Krause Not in the picture are Pat Strohmeyer and Marcia Sunderland, Editor This year the Brownell Belles, our school newspaper, was issued once a month. lt was given free of cost to the students and also sent to their parents. Although the news sometimes has not been too plentiful, the re- porters have always managed to find something to write up for the girls' interest. Besides the school news, the Belles this year has contained Student Council reports, A. A. news, items about the dorm, and the usual sprinkling of gossip. Marcia Sunderland, our editor, and Madelon Shaw, the assistant editor, have done wonderful work in putting out our paper, and of course, much of the credit for its success is due Miss Ransom, our faculty sponsor.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Third row: Susie Opitz, Audra Lou Jones, Kitzy Campbell Second row: Vicki Buckingham, Vicki Cornish, Sandra Singer First row: Medora Elliott, Lowell Sharpe, Barbara Sharpe, Frances Fricke The Athletic Association at Brownell is an organization for promoting participation in sports and good sportsmanship. The officers this year are Susie Opitz, President, Julie Morsman, Vice President, Audra Lou Jones, Secretary, and Karen Bisgard, Treasurer. The A. A. has given two luncheons and numerous pop and candy sales This year we started something new which we hope will be a tradition in the future. We sponsored a Winter Sports Carnival, which took place around St. Matthias Day. lt was held on the Memorial Park hillside, and everyone had a wonderful time sledding, tobogganing, and skiing. ln future years there should be skating races, relays and exhibitions if weather permits. In the spring the big event is Dad's Day, for sports between the girls and their dads. After the picnic supper awards are given- letter sweaters to Seniors and letters to under- classmen on the basis of athletic ability, team- work, and good sportsmanship. We hope that next year's A.A. organization will have as much fun and success as we have had this year. SUSIE OPITZ

THE DORMITORY l Seated clockwise' Miss Ransom, Mrs. Namland, Miss Marquardt, Mrs. Newell, Miss Koop Standing: Mary Lundteigen, Sandra Singer, Frances Fricke, Mary Louise Johnson, Lou Wilson President' Pat Str hm , , 0 eyer Seated on floor: Marlene McCullough, Vice President, Lou Shinn, Maury Leigh Leake, Treasurer, Mary Burdic The dorm is a place that you must live in for a while in order to appreciate. There is nothing in the world like living under the same roof as your friends and teachers and sharing their happiness and sorrow. Dorm life is made up of a series of phone calls, dates, bells, laughter, tears, radios playing, mail calls, quiet hours, and general excitement and confusion. Our housemother is Mrs. Alice Newell. She has truly been a second mother to us. She has been so kind and understanding and helped us with our prob- lems that we shall never forget her. We remember Mrs. Newell most of all for the little things she did like painting flowers on our place cards on birth- days and giving us things we especially like to eat. This year the dorm sponsored a Sadie Hawkins dance. lt was given in the gym and the couples came in costume. We had a Sadie Hawkins race and refreshments consisting of doughnuts and Kickapoo Joy Juice, which was apple cider in disguise. Our dorm is made up of girls from all around, for instance, Pat hails from San Francisco, Sandy just moved to Lincoln recently from back East, and Maury represents Wyoming. Marlene, Lou, Fran, Mary L., and Audra Lou didn't want Nebraska to be outdone, so they represent Central City, Dunning, Ashland, Louisville, and Mitchell, respectively. And there are still Mary Louise from Oakley, Kansas, Mary Burdic from Malvern, Iowa, and Lou Wilson from Greeley, Colorado. We have quite a time comparing states and towns. The officers are Lou Wilson, President, Marlene McCullough, Vice President, and Maury Leake, Treasurer. We'll never forget the wonderful times we've had, and we all hope that next year's dorm girls have as much fun and happiness as we have had.
