We hope that in the hearts of the alumni it may awaken memories, in the minds of parents interest, and in the life of the school a better spirit. If we have done any or all of these things we shall be satisfied with this book—The D Hive! ADMINISTRATION Many years of association with the parents and school officers of this community leads to the belief that our people want a school In which boys and girls are f'iven a well rounded education Such education calls for a program which inculcates a reverence for God and the church, an appreciation for the personality of the individual, and a love of country and respect for Its authorities We may seldom measure up to our ideals but our failures may be forgiven If they are used as stepping stones in the path of progress to a school which makes better men and women tomorrow than it made today. William D. Jefferson B A•, M.A., I. S. C. Columbia University Superintendent Government Commercial Law Economics Ninth Algebra If we can cause to develop in our students the ability and disposition to make wise choices in leisure time, health, character, choice of a vocation or job, civic, social, and domestic relationships, and at the same tire cause these students to develop independence in the art of learning that their e ucation may continue after they leave the class room, we cannot be far from the philosophy of education, the development of a socially competent individual.

Howard's Aunt Maude arrives unexpectedly, learns of his failure to pass, and gets on the good side of Prof. Bean, to pass Howard. Anne, aided by her chum Vivian, and Vic posing as a doctor, puts on a deathbed scene to get her father to sign a paper promising the science building if Howard is allowed to graduate. Vic's mustache comes off, but Howard has left with the paper. Howard decides he can't go thru with the trick and packs to leave. Anne finds him and breaks the news. Aunt Maude has fallen in love with Prof. Bean, so he gets his degree, and Mr. Purcell has given the money for the Science Building. SPRING FEVER REALLY HIT BROOKFIELD L aSS history In the fall of 1936 we thirty-four green freshmen took our seats in junior high. Under Mr. Bielefeldt's helpful guidance we all finally arrived a t the right rooms for our classes. That year we reigned supreme, being the oldest class In junior high. The next year was somewhat different. We entered senior high as sophomores, feeling very unimportant beside the sophisticated senior. We gave our first one act play Ten Minutes by the Clock under the direc— tion of Miss Sloan, our sponsor and English teacher. The cooking girls served all of the banquets. They got quite a thrill from doing this e-ven if they had a few mishaps, such as spilling a little coffee. The first important event of our junior year was the junior play, a three act mystery-comedy entitled The Mystery in the Library . As it is the custom for the juniors to give the Junior-Senior Banquet, we started our plans in February. After much planning and work the members of the two classes and the faculty met in the Green Room in Black's Tea Room. The theme of the banquet was AT the Circus . The Mirror staff was chosen for the following year and our first paper came out in Aprn looking quite amateurish but not so badly considering our lack of experience. The first day of school this year saw most of us realizing that that was the last first day we would ever spend in the school house as students. In March we finally started our Annual. After a reat deal of negotiation we decided on our printers, and pictures were taken providing a great deal of enjoyment for those watching us pose . May 20 we twenty-three remaining seniors marched down the aisle and received our diplomas. This officially ended our school days. Though we no longer will grace these premises we will certainly never forget them. When and If we make our mark in life we will know that the start of our success was when we entered the school house door. ci m m ikik c tl «i o n Top Row: Luveme Meyerhoff, President, Wayne Roth, Vice President, Eileen Meier, Sec.

The first big event was the annual all-high school party held September 22. Each class contributed a stunt to the evening's program. The sophomores, who received the prize for the best stunt, were awarded an extra class party. Three or four assembly programs featuring outside talent were also sponsored by the Council during the year. Outstanding ones were the Corrington Marionettes and Carl Burgess, ventriloquist. The movie committee of the Student Council has been active in selecting noon movies and longer features for afternoons. A small fee was usually charged to cover expense costs of the films which were shown about once a week during the winter months. The most outstanding single event of the year sponsored by the Student Council has been the promotion of the banquet held annually by Councils of Dunkerton, Orange, Hudson, Geneseo, Jesup, and Janesville schools, respectively. Funds were raised by selling candy bars and apples to the student body at noon and also at ball games. The banquet was held in the dining hall February 7. Approximately sixty Student Council members, sponsors, and guests were present. Practical ideas and social contacts gained proved the meeting a success. Recreational activities az noon were also encouraged by the Council in the past year. A checker tournament was held with the winner, Gordon Miller, receiving a medal from the Council. 14 11 i i 11 i rv $ JOURNALISM STAFFS THE MIRROR THE D” HIVE STAFF Editors Edi to r-In-chi e f La Verne Herman Mary Ro s ter Mary Roster Make-up-editor News Editors Dorothy Schoof Dorothy Sohoof Business Manager Melvin Stout Merle McDougall 1 Feature Writers Sales Manager Merle McDougall La Verne Herman Harold Baer Photographer Society Editor Melvin Stout Dorothy Bartholomew Art Editor Sports Writers Warren Rohrssen Richard Turner Sports Editor Lloyd Wisslnk Lloyd Wlssink Music Reporters Music Editor Margaret Roster Betty Schmidt Betty Schmidt Dramatics Editor Grade News Lila Townsend Leora Bellmer Feature Editor j Irene Smith Harold Baer Joke Editor Senior Literary Editor j Lila Townsend Dorothy Bartholomew Typists High School Literary Editor Dorothy Schoof Irene Smith Richard Turner Grades Literary Editor Bemeice Meier Leora Bellmer Lila Townsend General Proof Reader | Gordon Miller Juva Turner Irene Smith Social Editor Mary Roster Bemeice Meier Circulation Managers Cover Committee Lucille Funk Margaret Roster Juva Turner Assistants Art Editors Frenklin Conway 1 Warren Rohrssen Lucille Funk 1 Franklin Conway Printing Editor Sponsors Richard Turner 1 Mr. Cowllshaw Assistants Miss Ashley Gordon Miller 1 Renneth Renz I John Rnebel 1 Roy Ortneg_| r 2 z SB 15 TOP PICTURE-Back Row: Koster, Koster, C.
