Mrs. L. Miller, Prin,-West Brownsville School. WHERE WE COME FROM Many different districts are represented in the classes of Brownsville High School. The borough schools make up less than half of the total enroll- mentg the remainder comes from the outlying dis- tricts, each having its own elementary schools. In the borough of Brownsville, there are three public grade schools. Prospect Street School, largest in total enrollment, is supervised by Miss Sarah McCloy, while the smallest, Second Ward School, is under the leadership of Mrs. Mfilda Keyes. Perhaps the best known to township students because of its proximity to the Junior High School is the Front Street Gracie School, which Miss A. K. Mechein su- pervises. There are two other grade schools within the borough limits. These are the parochial schools sponsored by St. Peters' R. C. Church, under the direction of Father james Shay, and that of St. Marys' R. C. Church under the supervision of Father M. J. Yesko. Then there are other students who did not at- tend borough schools but who are also non-trans- ported pupils. St. Clair School in Brownsville Town- ship supplies many such students. The principal of this school is Mrs. Blanche Simeral, who has had wide experience with young people. The other com- munity represented by non-transported students is NVest Brownsville. Mrs. l.aura Miller this year re- placed as principal, Thomas Craig, who resigned in order to enter War industry. These schools provide about one-fifth of the student body, since there are seventy-one pupils enrolled from West Brownsville and SSVCIIIY-fOl1l from Brownsville Township. Top Row: Mr. R. D.
