BRYAN HICIH SCHOOL Where Life Begins Our lligh School building, erected in IQ28, rests upon a plot ol' ground donated by the late lohn liryan, a pioneer resident ol' the community. You will lind it nestled back in a natural cove on Route 68 with Glen llelen across the highway, furnishing natural and picturesque charln as well as a Mecca lor held trips, hiking, picnics and various forms ol' amusement. The school is controlled by a lioard ol' Education colnposed ol' live men, who are elected by popular vote to uphold the standards ol' education and secure neces- sary personnel and equipment to carry on educational activities. Those serving at the present time are: Mr. George llonley, President Mrs. Glenna Fink, Vice President Mr. Faye Fluke, Clerk Mrs. C. Adams Mr. lfrnest Morgan Mr. Faye Funderburg We are proud oi' the way that our school operates and the standing it has, compared to other schools in the state. Although we are classified as a Class li school, to the students ol' Bryan it is an A, in one sense of the word. Housed in our school is an excellent library to lit our needs, but when this fails we have the public and college libraries to turn to. ln the future we predict that schools will be more closely united and linked together through common interests, as are other schools in college towns. At the present we are showing strong inclinations in this direction, with student teachers lroin the college getting practice work in the high school, While high school students are getting inlorina- tion from the college. With coming changes in the world ol' tomorrow. the high schools ol' America will be required to produce higher standards of education. To do this liryan will have to accept certain changes in the pattern now being used in order to attain the obiectives which are being set up. The problems of education are multiplied during the time of a national crisis because high-priced iobs make a double incentive for students to work, rather than attend school. We realize that this is necessary in winning the war and the peace. This generation will have to change more rapidly than any of their predecessors if they meet the needs of the future. Americas future lies in her high schools. -K ENN mn L,uvsoN

I Administration Today all eyes are turned to the future of education which we believe will be completely revised. The public, working through the School Board will arrange many new features which will be controlled by the Master Switch of Learning. Great things will come out of education in Bryan when the master switch is pulled. The school will become more industrialized, there will be flying school buses, a swimming pool, and classes taught by movies. All of which will make a consolidated bulwark for better training of the mind and physical being. -SHIRLEY PAUL

BAGBY Our School Secretary Miss Betty Shellhaas, an Alumnus of Bryan High, was selected to become school secretary in 1942. She has a genial disposition and her kindly smile has cap- tivated those with whom she comes in contact. Besides routine work, she is an ever ready servant, doing all those innumerable tasks that a school secretary falls heir to. ' Her poise and dignity coupled with patience and friendliness make her a most valuable asset. -lili'I l'Y llriua.-x
