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.
