Those workers were ready to start six years of hard labor in preparation for the . time when they would be graduated from this domain. Some carried books and notebooks, others pencils and paper, each was determined that he would accomplish many great things during his stay at the castle. Little did they realize how unprepared they were for the stress and toils which lay ahead. As they entered upon the threshold of this enchanted castle, they looked upon this new world in amazement and wonder, giving shouts of glee and joy. So eager were they to learn!

To prove their originality, the Brownies of '59 chose the Wildcat, a round class ring. Feeling the need to entertain, the Brownies bowed with distinction after presenting their assembly From Vaude to Video. To complete the year, they had a party to celebrate their many accomplishments. Now another year had lapsed. The Brownies were growing older and assuming greater responsibilities. Striving to achieve higher standards, the Brownies chose their officers more diligently than ever before. Emperor was Richard Brandt, Prince, Richard Rohrer, Chancellor of the Exchequer, John Neidhamer, and Counselor, James Kurtz.
