The school in equilibrium with the town has been our greatest accomplishment. With this behind us we shall go from our narrow outlook at Bryan to a broader view elsewhere. Always in tliaiiliackground there will be out attainments in the balance of our school and town life. OUR TOWN OUR SCHOOL DEDICA TION We hereby dedicate this Bryannual ol 1946 to our school and our town, hoping that by :his we shall lurther the union of the two. We have built our publicrition and our thcm: around that part of us which we know has followed intently our every act and deed to .1 coming success. In this achievement which we have sct before vnu, keep our motto as yours' - The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it. ii '7!w Name East of town is the beautiful Glen Helen where there is a small spring flowing into a natural falls. In earlier days people fmm far and wide came to drink its water for the mineral value. The spring has a yellowish ap- pearance due to the iron it contains. Thus Our Town was named Yellow Springs. WELCOME! GLEN HELEN COLLEGE TOWERS LIBRARY POST OFFICE l l OPERA HOUSE DAYTON STREET SCHOOL Situated on a main thoroughfare in town. Dayton Street School is a symbol to numerous Yellow Springs citizens of childhood school days. Nineteen hundred and forty-six found the first and second grades so large that it was necessary to obtain another teacher and a room for a com- bined group of the two. In spite of crowded conditions, the grade school has functioned under Mrs. Grote's supervision in a wholesome and efficient manner. A S lk N I ng . .It t. john S.

Hall monitors were chosen to patrol the halls-better have your passes, kids. The senior all-county Back to School Hop was much more successful than anticipated. OCTOBER- The seniors gave a party for Ex-Bryanites now in service. You probably saw quite a few G. I.'s roaming the halls about the first of the month. The juniors finally decided to come out of their shells with a Hollowe'en Carnival. NOVEMBER- The basketball season started with two defeats-one which was expected, since the Alumni was made up entirely of former Bryan basketball stars. The other game was quite a shock to us, since the opposing team was Cedarville. School closed for Tnanksglvingg everyone came back with butterflies in their stomachs- too much turkey. DECEMBER- Starting the month with a bang, the band had a very successful carnivalg proceeds went toward the buying of band uniforms. Those sentimental seniors celebrated their last Christmas together with an exclusive party. Sub-zero weather that night didn't keep the boys from coming in from their farms on motorcycles. The last day of school before Christmas vacation we had a school party and the seventh graders had such fun holding mistletoe over the heads of the upperclassmen, or teachers, who were very much embarrassed when they were surrounded by admirers. The sophomores topped it all by sponsoring a formal Christmas dance. JANUARY- Q . Our eleven glorious vacation days lover, we reluctantly came back to that old grind. Slightly down-hearted, no one even laughed at Wallace's jokes. Not forgetting the juniors, we must mention their excitement at receiving class rings for which they had so eagerly awaited since September. Of course they insisted their rings were the best that Bryanites had ever received. FEBRUARY- b' The February Frolics was an especially exciting carnival' because of the Carnival Queen of 1946 who was chosen by the popular vote of the community. A beautiful junior was crowned and runners-up were her attendants. Cedarville took the tournament championship, but we were good sports and wished her the best of luck in the District. Bryan took three of the trophies. junior Hi won one of them. MARCH- After changing 'the date a few dozen times the Curtain Pullers finally presented Daphne, a blood-curdl.ng thriller, just packed with attempted murders. The juniors come up on top-this tlme with a record dance in memoriam to Glenn Miller who lost h.s lile in protection of his country. Profits went toward Junior-Senior Prom. The freshmen decided to have a dance, too. How those freshmen did com-e ong they aren't quite as green as freshmen should be. - The seniors will never forget that grand argument in March over whether to wear caps and gowns or formal attire for Eommencement. . The Bryan seniors were well represented in the State Scholarship tests. On that cold Saturday mornng sleepy-eyed seniors could be seen coming from every direction meeting at the starting station, Erbaugh's Drug Store. The band went all out for farce by sponsoring a basketball game between the band boys and the band fathers. The band mothers made such cute cheer leaders, too. The Athletic Banquet was given for the basketball players and cheer leaders. APRIL- Comes Scholarship tcsts for all those little geniuses that are born at Bryan Hi. You couldn't tell it by looking at them, though, could you? The Curtain Pullers presented their play, a comedy this time, in order that more Dramatic Club members might show their acting abilities. The Home Economics g.rls made us Easter outfit conscious when they gave their style show, modelng outfits they had made themselves. The band and glee club combined gave a spring concert. The juniors and seniors were given the county Anti-Saloon contest quiz. The county winner won an airplane trip. After studying for the quiz all the juniors and seniors knew the effects of alcohol and vowed they'd never touch another drop. MAY- Ah, yes-May always was a memorable month at Bryan. On May 4 was the Junior- Senior Prom for which the juniors worked hard all the year to make it successful. On May 12 was the evening of Baccalaureate services. All dressed in their new spring ic utfits, the graduates looked as if they'd just stepped from the fashion parade. May 17 the seniors make their final, but grandest appearance ever in cream caps and gowns to receive long awaited diplomas. -Barbara Hamilton.

Gauncd The Student Council has replaced the Student Board of previous years. The Council is a representative group chosen by the student body, The purpose of the Council is not to run the school but to cooperate in bettering the relationship between the students and the faculty. As representatives of the student body, the Marjorie Semler Council is called upon to deal with such problems as the Teen Age Canteen, Merit System, Student Handbook, and school beautification. Officers of the Student Council are jack Grote, Presi- dent, Harry Morgan, Vice-President and Helen Squires, Secretary. HALL MONITORS Quiet and order reign in the halls of Bryan under the watchful guidance of the Hall Monitors. On the basis of self-government these students, acting as Hall Monitors, are placed in the halls during each period tu patrol halls, check on hall permits, do general errands, and act as guides to any one.

Bw The Bryannual Staff nearly went berserk trying to figure out ways to cut down on this and save space on that without ruining the yearbook. The annual was published for the enjoyment and pleasure of the entire student body. We hope, too, that this book will be valuable in a sentimental way later on. Editor Betty Tibbs was faced with problems that Hard at Work ? ? ? P seemed too difficult to overcome, but were worked out smoothly. Betty had her staff checking, typing, phoning, cutting and pasting until dreamless sleep was a thing of the past. Co-editor Doris Shellhaas was constantly assigning write-ups and checking and re-checking copy. Jim Ark and Harry Morgan, with the assistance of Donna Sheridan and Beulah Purdin, co-operated closely in turning out a good advertising section. Ann Reed and Charm: DeVine are to be highly commended for their very capable handling of snapshots and delightful captions. Sam, congratulations on such a fine Sports section! Fred Schaub came through on his cycle in foul or fail' weather to work on lay-outs. Others who worked long hours on lay-outs were Mary Ellen Bran- snum, Wallace Townsend, Alice Kakoi and Patty Shook. Orchids to Elaine Bahnsen for the splendid art work all through the annual. Donna Sheridan's senior biographies were both accurate and amusing. In spite of strikes that hindered the purchase of flash bulbs, Gene Demmy was able to get a number of shots, while he and Bernard Hamilton helped us meet dead-lines by develop- ing the pictures themselves. Helen Squires, jim Fulton, Bob DeWine, Marie Adams, Barbara Hamilton, Ruth Cameron and Frank Riley are in line for a hand shake for their appealing write-ups.

HI TALE For the first time in many years, Bryan has estab- lished a school paper-the Bryan Hi Tale. Barbara Henn, a former Bryanite, is the person we have to thank for our name, which later became known only as the Hi Tale. At the first of the ye-ar, all those interested in working on the school paper signed up with Miss Trefz, our adviser. From this list a staff with Mary Brannum VISUAL EDUCATION Although there have been boys who have shown pictures in the Bulldog Auditorium for many years, none have taken any particular interest in making a club of this activity. Together the members take care of the shipping and receiving of films, manage the machine, set up sound, prepare the auditorium for showings, and repair and clean equipment. Some of the senior members of the club have been teaching underclassmen the art of motion picture projection. The outstanding feature of the year was the weekly noon-thriller, Flaming Frontiers. Yes, quite a feature was this rough and ready, hair- raising western serial. The present members of the club for '45-'46 are Mr. Nichols, Adviser, Fred Schaub, Eloise Myers, Sam Kakehashi, Alice Fink, Charles Demmy, Ann Nickoson, Donald Paul, Marvin Trollinger, Ronald Williams, jim Fulton. chosen as Editor-in-chief, was selected and those remain ing did miscellaneous jobs.

The band made its first appearance- at a bond rally in Xenia in honor of Captain Don Gentile. No one has suffered from the cold until he tries to play an instrument with stiff lingers, as the band did that cold night. Then came the super carnival sponsored by the band members, with the help of a few other public- spirited citizens of our town. The feature attraction was the floor show starring Lace Grinnell and her Ruffled Sextettef' The exotic hair styles and feminine curves were almost convincing! Mitch DeWine is still recovering from high kick-itis! The band music was appreciated for the basket' ball games, pep sessions and county tournament. The last basketball game of the year was sponsored by the band to help raise money for new band uniforms. One game was between the Patterson All-Stars and the Patterson Merchants, while the other game was played by the band boys and the band fathers. On page 57 is a list of the people who donated money for the band uniforms.

Lynn Alten- bernd, English teacher, helped to secure our recognition by the National Thespians. Our charter was granted at that time. The purpose of the organization is to create more interest in dramatic activities throughout the high school. The motto of the Thespians is Act Well Your Part, There All Honor Lies. The Thespians are now under the sponsorship of Mrs. lVIary E. Cochran. mdf-A08 l i Drop That G un XNSRXRS misses xmas WW lst row: Elaine Bahnsen.

The council, consirting of a repres,ntative from Cach oi the upper fatgr classes, and the ofticers, acted in an advisory capacity. They decided the major problems of the club and prrs ntcd new ideas which they thought would better the organization. A method of cleclingg new members was drawn up by the councl and approved by the club. Thirty-three new members were initiated into the club for the year 1946. The main objective of the club this ycar was the palntng and redecorating of the left ante-room. Floor lamps, rugs and other items were promised to the club.

The sophomore girls have been studying how to prepare complete meals. Under the guidance of Mrs. Wright they have accomplished much toward this goal. As a test for their skill, the girls selected a menu for a Mother and Daughter Ban quet. The menu consisted of tomato cocktail, swiss steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, spinach and green beans, waldorf salad, raised rolls, peach pie a la mode and coffee. The tables were decorated with pink candles and pink nut cups which proved effective on white covered tables. Each girl's mother or guest was present. lst row: Raymond Wilson, Eugene McKnight, johnny Oelslager, joe Nickoson, Mickey Williams, Dick Martin, Glen Tolle, Jimmie Lewis, Billy Hamilton. 2nd row: Max Davis, Dick Taylor, Marilyn Welch, Mary Flo Oelslager, Maxine Fisher, Marie Donley, Donna McAllister, Carole Ellison, Betty Blackman, Bobby Baldwin, Mr. Woodward. 3rd row: Ralph Tolle, Donald Hutslar, Virgil Schooler, Charles Mercer.

Recognitions in character are gained by meeting in- dividual obligations to the school promptly and com- pletely, by demonstrating such qualities as personality, honesty, reliability, achievement, and morality-qualities indispensable to the finest young man or woman. lst row: Maxine Fisher, Seventhg Irene Fisher, Ninth: Nancy Fess, Tenth: Barbara H a m i I t o n, Twelfth: Betty Bla c k m a n, Ninth: Bob Holly, Eleventh. 2nd row: Charme DeVine, Twelfth: P h i I ip Henderson, Tenth, Betsy Baldwin, Tenth,- Perry Stewart, Eighth.

At Bryan High School, students with outstanding records in citizenship are selected 'each year by the faculty. The names are inscribed upon the honor plaque which is sponsored by the Student Coun:il. Only one student from each class may be selected every year. To qualify for the citizenship award, a student must meet the high standards established by the Student Council and the faculty. Good scholarship, int:r:st in the school, respect end consideration for fellow students, and active participation in worth-while community life are among the qualities most desircd.

But let us not look forward to this, but rather look back to the things he has done for us. He was the adviser of the Varsity Club, an organization to promote better sportsman ship: with his help they were able to achieve this goal. His ability for coaching will never be overlooked, for he coached the greatest basketball team that has ever come out of Bryan. Many hours has he spent setting Bryan on a higher inter-scholastic sports level, asking for little in re-turn. He has done a great job of making us sport-conscious students. He will not be forgotten in the years to come, and we wish him the best of luck in whatever he does.

The Women's Athletic Association was organized at Bryan by Miss Edwards in the interest of promoting girls' sports. Committee members were chosen by all classes. Those elected were Pat Shook, twelfth, Alice Fink, eleventh, Wilma Sheridan, tenth: Roberta Brannum, ninth: Jeanette Perry, eighth, and Marie Donley, seventh. The first meeting was held October 4, at which time Miss Edwards explained the duties of the members. ln December, feeling very proud of our basketball ability, we challenged Antioch to a game. Althougii we suffered a great loss. we enjoyed playing them. In February they returned with an otier to play them on their HOOT. We accepted, an.i we were again defeated, although the loss this time was not so great .is the tirst one. We had hopes for a field day with other schools, but due to trgzns- portation difticulties. this was not accomplished. However. we sponsored noon intramural games, dances, and ping pong tournaments. This year the awards were based on sportsmanship, ability and co operation. Awards were given to the eight highest girls in the high school whom Miss Edwards felt met the requirement ..

Betsy Baldwin, Caroline Wingfield, Mary Igfilfllllllll, M.'i ry Grinnell, and Parry Anderson, pftgdical Zcfucaifian I .ia an L Q A S A N I Seniaful To Seo Oursclvcs As Others See Us N Glau Early one September morning, in 1934, a group of cheery-faced boys and girls made their first appearance at Dayton Street School. It was such a large class that Miss Wolford had a hard time finding enough se-ats for them. Only fifteen of that class have come through the twelve long years to make their exit at Bryan. They are Ann Reed, Charme DeVine, Harry Morgan, Donna Sheridan, Marie Adams, Mary Brannum, Gene Demmy, Bob DeWine, Helen Squires, jim Ark, Patty Shook, Bernard Hamilton, Betty Tibbs, Barbara Hamilton anil Frank Riley. In the third grade Fred Schaub and Doris Shellhaas joined the merry little group. Jim Fulton came into the fourth grade just in time to help with the paper drive. In the sixth grade they presented the traditional How Boots Befooled the King. By 1940 they felt quite grown-up, for they were now seventh graders, a part of Bryan High. Mr. Francis was our home room teacher. We had the cafeteria for our home room until the new addition was built on the school and then we were moved into the old Industrial Arts room. In the eighth grade we had the traditional tests before entering the high school. There was quite a parade of teachers at Bryan that year. We had no less than three home room teachers. Don Amon, Wallace Townsend, and Elaine Bahnsen were welcome additions to the freshman class. With the next year came Beulah Purdin, and Cecil Hasser. As sophomores we gave our first dance, The Pumpkin Polka. Our junior year was an outstanding event at Bryan, with Mrs. Stone as our home room teacher. We were guided through second semester by jovial Mr. Bagby. The big event in the fall of our junior year was the carnival, Turkey Strut. At Christmas the traditional Dickens' Christmas Carol was presented. All through the year we made Bryan potato chip and magazine conscious with our colossal salesmanship. We had one of the most elaborate proms ever given at Bryan. Uncle Sam dug deep in the senior manpower, with the result that our class is much smaller. Don Amon, Cecil Hasser and Ed Blackman have already gone and several more have registered. We are proud of our contribution to the armed forces to make them a more efficient fightin' unit. Alice Kakoi and Ruth Cameron entered our class so that they could become Bryan graduates. Most of our year was filled with annual work. With these experiences and past memories the seniors leave their beloved Bryan to seek their fortunes in this strange wide world. -Helen Squires. P of '45 wdayhi 7m The class of '46 had been planning for years for their prom. When they were in their junior year they sold everything from soup to nuts to make enough money to give their prom. The class of '46 has always been a class of high ideals, and nothing is too good for them. The juniors had looked all over Ohio for a band good enough to play for their prom. Finally they found a band from St. Mary's, Ohio, that was just right, whereupon they made a con- tract for May 4, 1945. This was the first big step toward the prom. After that they started making plans for it. The second big thing was to agree on how they wanted it decorated. One day a student had a brain storm about how he wanted it decorated. He put it down on paper and presented it to the class. The class thought that it was just the thing. Right away they started to build the set for it. They built stair steps, rock gardens, band stands, and even a water wheel. On May 3 they started working. They hauled all the set up and started putting it in shape. At the far right hand corner of the gym were the stair steps. On both sides of the steps were flowers and shrubs. Climbing its way up the steps was an old English ivy. At the other right hand corner of the gym was the water wheel. Centered on the left side of the gym was the band stand. On the wall opposite the band stand was a huge mirror surrounded by beautiful flowers. At each end of the gym were lounges. The beautiful picture of this prom has been engraved on the hearts of the classes of '45 and '46. .eanw ,.mm 3606 la 264166 Starting the new school year with a bang, the active, fun-loving senior class presented an all-county Back to School Hop, September 21 with The Three Gables' Orchestra. There were representatives from jefferson, Xenia Central, and Enon. The gym was well decorated with a false ceiling and vines intermingled among the railings. The effect of the golden rod, placed in front of the footlights, was very attractive. Cokes and sandwiches were served at the north end of the gym and the orchestra was seated at the south end of the gym. THE HOUSE ON '46 STREET Strolling down the darkening streets of Yellow Springs, I notice bright lights at the high school. Yellow Springs is a thriving metropolis and the late school hours are unusual. As I get closer I see that twenty windows are brilliantly glowing in the still night. The Class of '46 is having their seventeenth reunion. My, what a change! This class has certainly improved the city. They have added new enterprises and im- prov-ed the old. Shall we enter and hear their discussion? There's Bob DeWine, the owner of the new haberdashery, talking to Elaine Bahnsen. Elaine looks quite stunning in her aviatrix suit. The new air strip has improved the city a great deal. She's leading the women's division of flying at the airport just west of town. Bob's new store, featuring ladies' apparel, is across the widened street from Mary Ellen Brannum's beauty salon. I notice the red and white barber stick before Mary Ellen's estab- lishment-sentiment probably. There seems to be a discussion concerning a quotation, The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it. It sounds natural to hear this class in a heated conversation. Sam's new sixteen-piece band is playing now and it somewhat drowns the voices out. Sam's new theatre is quite an attraction to the town. The Little Theatre was condemned years ago. Yellow Springs is really going ultra-modern in every way. Looking around at the food I can guess who brought it. Beulah Purdin's ice cream parlor, combined with Ruth Cameron's bake shop, meets the needs of all the students. Ruth went all out for a cake shaped K'46. Beulah's new process perfected a brick ice cream with Bryan in blue through the center. Yum! It's delicious. I wonder where all those hams and roasts came from! Did someone say Frank Riley brought them? Why, yes, I noticed his restaurant today. It gives the tearoom competition. His food is excellen-t, and his establishment offers jobs for college and high school students. I was much surprised, too, to see Ed Blackman, the head waiter, bowing and smiling to all. They seem to be leaving the room now. I believe they're going to the gym. That's it. Would you look at that gym! It's wonderful how seventeen years can change a place. jim Ark, Bryan's head coach, is proud of his team's perfect record in basketball. They won the state last year, remember? Patty Shook has a new type of girls' gym classes, featuring physical culture such as swimming, tennis, golf and badminton. The student has her choice for her daily period of physical education. What's this, a revolving stage? Why, it is! Doris Shellhaas is showing her new movable sets to her classmates. That is quite an improvement from '46, as everyone will agree. By the way, we have school nurses, too-also a lab technician. The children get fine care here in the school dispensary. Charme DeVine is in charge of physical examination testings. Helen Squires and Donna Sheridan are the head nurses. They take turns in ex- amining. One of them is always at the grade school, which is now in Mills Lawn. Bryan has a very extensive lab now and Charme uses it to the advantage of the students. I notice there's Barbara Hamilton. Why, she's married now! She looks very happy. She always was a beautiful girl, but this love has made her even more lovely. Alice Kakoi seems to be taking notes. She's head stenographer at Antioch College. She has a modern and unique office-the last word in up-to-date offices. Speaking of modern conveniences, you should see the library. Ann Reed has done wonders with it. You can see her red head bobbing up and down behind the shelves looking for a book to please her patrons. She is the head of the library, you know. On my way here, I saw a beautiful estate, there were at least forty handsome stallions champing in the fields. Someone said jim Fulton owned it. He certainly has gone places. Wallace Townsend is the new veterinarian. His humor does as much to heal the owner as his medicine does to heal the sick animal. When I first arrived I noticed several cars in front. They're gone now. I'm told it's a new device worked out by Fred Schaub and Harry Morgan. It features a hide-away garage. Their service station has ruined the business of others. In one half of the service station Gene Demmy and Cecil Hasser have a motorcycle shop. I don't know exactly what each one does, but the whole business covers a city block. The class is quieting downg Sam's band is playing Pomp and Circumstancef' It brings back memories, doesn't it? I believe ithey're all leaving now. Wait! I just saw a flash! They finally got here. Bernard and Marie were photographing some class pictures and were late. Their studio is chromium and plastic. It's unusually beautiful. Bernie always was good in a dark room! Eh, Marie? Betty Tibbs is diligently interviewing all the class. She will put the reunion account in her paper, The Competitor. It's something new in journalistic writing. As all good things must come to an end, so must this vislt. As life comes to an end, I think of Don Amon who owns a funeral home. Don is quite a comfort, indeed. I'll close the door quietly as I reluctantly leave this beautiful reunion. Never was a class so reunited as this one. It has truly made Yellow Springs the city that it is today. Who am I? How do I know all this? How can I see all this? I am that goal which the class set. They have now reached and overtaken me. I must leave them to greater heights. --Fred Schaub and Doris Shellhaas.

It is now 'time to pass on to that Great Beyond. With us, we take only the memories of the past twelve years. Since Experience is the best teacher, we feel qualified to pass on to you our last will and testament in hopes it will be of some benefit to you. To Jack Hosket goes Fred's mechanical genius, that is, provided Jack buys a motorcycle. Without further adieu Doris gives her French quotations to the book. Beware, Frenchmen of tomorrow! Beulah leaves her huh to Joyce Huston. Cherish it, Joyceg it meant a lot to us. Lawrence Bailey gets Gene's careful driving. Sorry, the Pontiac belongs to Birch. Mary Ellen leaves her Hubba! Hubba! Yak! Yak! to anyone who can interpret its meaning. She seems to think it has one. Bernard leaves his height to Bob Holly and his quiet ways to Maurice Pemberton. A pleasant change is on i-ts way. Alice divides her efiiciency and responsibility among the entire junior class-for better or for worse. Jim Ark's affectionate ways are left to Richard Anderson. He'll know how to use them. To Carl Knoedel goes Harry's warm, friendly smile. Close your mouthg I said smile. Patty's clerking ability is left to Alice Fink, although Alice never worked in a grocery store. Betty leaves her typing skill to Royal. Not everyone, however, can attain the same achievements. Barbara gives away our home room. The juniors now have something to look forward to. Ann's violent temper is left to Nancy Fess. The red hair goes with Ann. Elaine leaves her way with the men to the seventh grad-e girls. Donna wills her comic acting parts to Wilma Squires. Mitchell leaves his strong dislike for work to Phil Henderson. Ruth leaves the rugged freshmen her calm, quiet ways. It doesn't hurt to hope, does it? Charme wants Patty Anderson to have her serious, down to earth, reasoning power. Marie gives the power to read shorthand to the unsuspecting beginners of next year. Never too late to drop out. Ann Stewart can have Helen's progressive attitude. You can't keep a good man down. By all means, Frank's promptness must go to somebody. Who would like to be prompt like Frankie? Jim Fulton wants his brother, Don, to have his seat in study hall. It's engraved and everything. Study hard, Dong look where Jim is today. Sam's executive ability goes to Gene Hamilton. Did you ever watch Sam conduct a business meeting? Wallace just leaves. That is enough, isn't it? Bye, David! In witness hereof we affix our seal and signature, this seventeenth day of May in the year of our Lord, nineteen-hundred and forty-six. CLASS OF 1946. By Wallace Townsend.
