Brownstown yearbook celebrates golden anniversary The Brownstown school yearbook cel- ebrated its 50th birthday during 1977. The first book was published in 1927 and entitled The Webb by the senior class on February 2 of that year. The seniors were | highlighted in The Webb with a picture and descriptions of each member of the | class. The book also featured a class will and prophecy, a daily calendar and a joke section. A list of BHS alumni was also featured, starting with the first grad- uating class of 1881, which consisted of four students. During the depression the annual was difficult to finance because ads could } not be sold. World War II forced the book to change from a hardback to pa- i perback cover. In 1963 the Brownston school system completed its consolidation with five small rural community schools to form the Brownstown Central school system. The yearbook title was changed to the Quiver. In fifty years the annual has been pub- lished in many forms. Basically it has changed from a tribute to the senior class to a record of student activities | throughout the year. | bee Ll yer eee é ee A Book 4 : Kevps Boards $ wry TOP: 1927 Webb.
