M ary Lucille Weaver QXWXJ Perhaps all of you students do not realize it, but there must be a unifying force in order that the school may function. The faculty and administration are part of this unit as is the Board of Education. However, we, the students, ought to have a voice in the way the school is run and we dol Every fall each class elects its members to the Stu- dent Council. The Freshmen elect two members who remain in office throughout their four years of high school provided they behave themselves properly and display a rea- sonable amount of interest in the Council. The Sophomores elect one, bringing the total to three and the Juniors one, making then a total of four. Because of their seniority the Seniors elect two new members giving them six representatives on the Council. This body of students has the responsibility of governing the four classes in high school and doing such things as arranging the elections, decorating the football field, and sponsoring assembly programs. The Student Council also renders its assistance to other clubs whenever difficulties arise. This year a new service was rendered to visitors of Bryan High School. The coun- cil provided an information desk in the main hall leaving a student in charge at every period of the day. This group finances its activities by operating a candy stand in the main hall. The nievnbers hope to make our school a better place in which to study by keeping order and discipline. G. K. '40.

LOOKING BACKWARD September, 1928-the year the present Seniors waved good-bye to their mothers and trudged gaily off to school for the first time. There were 117 in that first grade, and Miss Hester, Miss Mattox, and Miss Quelette were their teachers. 1940 seemed far, far in the distance in those days. Would you believe that there are only 45 of that class who are Seniors at Bryan today? The rest have withdrawn, failed, or moved away and have been replaced by others. The next three years passed swiftly with many of us spending a good share of our time either in the cloakroom or out in the hall. It was in these grades that many fell in love for the first time. Remember Valentine Day back in those days? However, very few of these love affairs lasted through the years to follow. The fifth grade brought the kids from the east and west part of town together for the first time. Joyce Tolman and Jimmy Yencer joined us that year. Remember the champion Midget basketball team we had the next year? It was the pride of the whole school. This was also the year that the penalty for chewing gum was to stand in front of the class and chew to the rhythm of the clock. COur G. R. president should remember this quite distinctlyl. We also had an amateur hour every Friday afternoon, and many future actors and actresses made their debut at this time. Then came Junior High-half of our school life gone already. Is there anyone who doesn't recall that Things to be remembered must fre- quently be reviewed. Here the girls got their first taste of sewing and cooking, while the boys turned carpenters. Ross Alexander spent a night in the county jail, and everyone hurried to get his autograph. And then graduation! Didn't that stage seem a mile long? Many of the girls wore their first corsages that memorable night. It was a nice dance afterwards, remember? Freshmen-and as green as they come. We were surely given a thorough initiation. Remember that sulphur and molasses? Our spirits rose considerably, however, at the dance which followed when we became full-fledged members of B. H. S. Several of our class became important in football, basketball, the debate, and in the dramatic club play. There were also many freshmen in the A Capella Choir and in the band. What fun it was to be sophomores and watch other people go through the tortures we had experienced only one short year before. What a boost to our ego to think we were no longer the bottom rung of the ladder. This year we were allowed to join Girl Reserves and Hi-Y. Jean Blakely, Elaine Grim, and Henry Sanford joined us that year. And then we were Juniors. Mary Louise and Dorothy Decker were added to our merry throng-also Doreen Flinn, who, after spending several years elsewhere, finally decided Bryan was the best place after all. By this time nearly everyone of us had found some important place for our- selves, either in sports, dramatics, music, or some other extra-curricular anctivity. Perhaps one of the most memorable events was the J unior-Senior rom. Dignified seniors at last-or were we really much more dignified than as freshmen. Marjorie Clark and Hubert Shape came back after spending a few years in our neighboring state of Indiana. The Hi-Life to be gotten out every other week, the annual to be kept out of the red, football and basketball championships to be won-all these made our last year seem very short. Our last Junior-Senior, the Senior play, Bacca- laureate, Commencement, and the Senior picnic over-in fact, our days in Bryan schools are all over. Twelve years weren't nearly so long as they seemed back in 1928. D. K. '40.
