Brockman Class Escutcheon If our seniors could have lived in the days of King- Arthur and been heroic knights of the Round Table or fair blushing damsels, they would have had symbols on their shields (or were they blots on the escutcheons 0 that characterized them. Appropriate emblems would have been: Squire Everett Walker—Model T Ford on fire with a soft West wind blowing gently to keep the “love light” burning. Squire “Oggie” Bolin — undoubtedly, a football. Squire Thomas Baugh—a tiny kodak, because of his famous candid-camera shots. Squire Don Brice—a big mouth with a wagging tongue like another Brice— of the radio. Squire Guy Bovd—a—“Bell”—for a belle. Squire Jimmie Bodie—the staff of the slave—to the old English Freeman. Squire John Bassett—a cannon—to represent tin noise he is capable of making. Squire Gene Hilbom—an artist deserves an easel and brushes on his shield. Squire “Dub” McGibbony—this senior gets a golden football on a field verdant. Squire George Stewart—a pair of slippers for another Fred Astaire. Squire Francis Buddin—a traffic cop—to remind him to drive slower! The girls (of course) would not have a shield but their insignia would probably be decorated as follows: Lady Geneva Allen—a half pint measure. Lady Mildred Andrews—a Hart to remind her of her “conquest.” Lady .June Dunn—to this newspaper woman—a printing press. Lady “Tooby” Erwin—a big, chewy, “poppy” piece of gum. Lady Mildred Blaser—a bright Red coat-of-arms with a basket ball in the cen- ter. Lady Martha Love Nethery—on Mot’s coat-of-arms a gleaming mass of red curls. Lady Alice Purnell-—a moving van—Gathright V. Lady Katherine Payne—Kate gets a loud speaker—(as if she needs it) and a piano as her emblem. Lady Bunny Wulbem—a little, white, Easter bunny with big, pink ears. Lady Maxine Walker—A bottle of aspirins to calm her “Akenhead”. Lady Dorothy Huntley—A “Gardner”’ Lady Maurice llulse—A shorthand note book and a pen—she’ll get the talk from end to end. (Page Twenty-three)

 DESIGN FOR LIVING The knights of old donned their armor, bid farewell to their ladies, and went forth to conquer monsters and overcome evil. Today we are knights who face very different but in no way smaller tasks. The monstrous evils which we must overcome cannot be classed under the category of physical achievements but are mental and moral. We must put on the whole armor of God in order to overcome them. Unlike the knights, however, we will not leave the women behind. They will be in the fight, too. There is a significant lesson in the fact that the kinghts of old did not wait for the monsters to come to them, nor did they wait for wrongs to right themselves. They went forth in search of wrongs to right; so must we. Before we may hope to make the world a better place, we must learn to depend on ourselves. We must not depend on our background or our American heritage to carry us through life. We must go forward into new ideas, new planes, and new thoughts. Then we must have the courage to match our ideas against those of others and to express them freely. We must depend upon ourselves. Another step toward perfection, which we must make, is to forget trivialities and to spend our time on the important things of life. One cannot expect to make much money in business without investing big sums, lie must deal in big things to get results. So we must concern ourselves with the big things of life—avoid the big sin, think the big thoughts, and live the big lives. The young men of America have alwavs faced great problems. The pioneer was confronted with the great forest, the Indians, and wild beasts. The Colonial was tortured bv hunger and cold in the bitter winters of the Revolutionary War. The young American of the Civil War period faced the prejudice and hatred of a divided nation. Again in the World War youth was faced with grave dangers. The American youth has always faced some problem which he must overcome; he has never failed to win. It is not our intention to betray the trust of those who have gone before us. The problems which we face today and will face tomorrow seem very different from those of the past. These problems in reality are very much alike, for it takes the same qualities to overcome them. It takes the same courage, honesty and perseverance, today as it did to conquer any other problem. Today, we hear much criticism of youth. Many cynical people will tell you that youth is all wrong. We, the youth of today have courage, strength, and the will to win. The youth of today will overcome its problems. Look out, old world, here comes.......... (Page Twenty-four) The Class of 19d8
