As the spring countryside rushed by, Brunswick's children anxiously anticipated the major highlight of the year--the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival. Each year an invitation was extended to various schools to participate in the festival Brunswick became known for its unique floats and active interest. The band, rendering several selections, marched in the parade. Prizes were awarded to those schools having the most original theme, etc. Brunswick's participation in this event continued until approximately the time of World War II. Just as the Apple Blossom Festival augmented the enjoyment of school life, extra- curricular activities not only brighten the school year but also develop competent lead- ers. Clubs provide an outlet for those who are interested in civic and school projects. A diversity of organizations at Brunswick High School allows every student the oppor- tunity to develop his interests.
