Bazaar a success, for this money-making effort would greatly benefit us in return, Before we knew it,there were basketball try-outs, and several in our class made the teams, We did our bit in rooting for these teams, and followed them far and wide, The work they did only serves to remind us that the strides they made in one short season give promise of greater things to come, Now we can look forward to the entertainment that comes with spring, Baseball games, track meets, Easter vacation, hay rides and picnics, We from Brookville feel that the Rustburg students have done much to make us feel at home, and we from Rustburg are benefiting from a wider friendship. The next three years seem much too short for our undertakings,

To the students from Brookville the use of a gym was no novelty, but to us at Rustburg it was a long-awaited luxury, for this was to be our first experience with a real physical develop- ment program and a place for us to play in all kinds of weather, A number of our classmates made up some of the membership on the basketball teams, volleyball and badminton,
