Senior Class History

When the members of the senior class started to school,
they were a bunch of rowdy youngsters who were hard to control
because they wanted to learn new things fast. They remained
so through the first six years at the end of which they enter-
ed the Junior High School and had more teachers to watch them.

At the beginning of the seventh grade in the year 1929,
seven new pupils were transferred from the Kingston district.
They were Clarine Chambers, Frederick and Lucille Johnson,
Charlotte Link, Edith Root, and Ester Tharpe, and Clayton
Wigton. Juliabelle Nixon was also made a member of this class
from Hyatts. Of these pupils, Esther Tharpe, Frederick and
Lucille Johnson Left our ranks during the same year.

Louise and Robert Rathbourne, and Edith Root left us at
the end of the eighth grade when we were preparing to begin
our journey through high school. It was very pleasing to be
planning for the new responsibilities which we knew would
soon be ours.

During much enjoyment in our Freshman classes, three more
of our already small number left us - Eileen Haney, William
Murray, and Arthur Smith. At the beginning of our second mile
on our voyage through high school we had three new members, -
Marie Chambers, Edward Frye, and Clytus Zimmerman to take the
places of those who had left.

Dale Marks was with us at the beginning of our third
mile to help us along and see that we did not get stuck. However,
we lost two of our old members during this year - Mary Cackler
and Marie Chambers.

While we have been traveling through our fourth mile of
our all too short journey, we have learned to do our best in every-
thing and to get all we can from our school life and we only
wish we could remain longer. We have enjoyed this last year to
its full extent.

Since all of the seniors came back safely from their
sociology trip to Columbus, I think a word about it should be
added to the history of our class. Miss Uncapher, our student
teacher and Mr. Nicholas, our supervisor of sociology, succeeded
in discouraging the keepers of different institutions when they
thought that some of the class should remain with them. The
class visited the following institutions: The Work House, The
Feeble Minded Institution, State Building, The Deaf and Dumb
Asylum, and Godman's Guild.

Oh, and about Commencement and Baccalaureate. That's
the time when all the senior girls are dressed in white and the
boys in their new suits and when everyone tries to make you
feel badly because you are leaving "dear old Brown High". Well,
we will try to hold back our tears while Mr. Longbrake is
giving us our farewell advise this year.

CLASS PROPHECY

No, I'm not meeting these people while walking down
the street in 1945, but from the actions of all seniors it is
very easy to imagine what they year will present as far as
our class is concerned.

Picture a small town, such as the New York of to-
day, in your mind and learn the names of the street so you
can be able to follow the cops directions in order to locate
the members of the senior class of 1935. Clytus Zimmerman
has always wanted to be a "big boss" so that he might be able
to issue orders. Well, here he is playing traffic cop on the
street corner and can be tell the people what to do after he
blows that whistle with a mighty blast?

If, by chance, we should happen to ask Clytus if the
president of our class, Charlotte Link, had been seen since
her failure to keep up her grades at Ohio State, he would prob-
ably tell us that she is still about town. He will say that
she is president of a dog and cat hospital down on Bump Avenue
but is still trying to become a vetrinary while practicing
landscape architecture as a hobby.

When picking up a paper dated May 21, 1935, the head-
lines will read "Farmer Goes Bankrupt. Held in Prison for
Forgery." After reading the rest of the article, we learn that
Dale Marks tried to be a successful farmer, but letter writing
absorbed to much of his time that he had to begin writing bonus
checks instead in order to pay his bills.

After leaving Bump Avenue, we can walk a mile or so -
just for exercis. All at once, a chorus of screams will greet
us. If we are not too frightened, we will find that it is
only twenty or twenty-five women getting permanent waves at "Ye
Osborn Shoppe". Gladys, as a beauty culturist, will go into
the business in a big way. With fifty girls on the payroll, they
are able to give a wav a second. After talking with the prop-
rietor we learn that for the first five years after graduation
from Brown, Gladys taught music in a public school in Mexico,
but she became very angry at one child and shook her so hard
that she lost her voice. The music teacher was promptly fired
without being given time to resign.

Over in the south end, we find a large sanitarium and
hospital with Anne Nelson as the head nurse, but no one will
ever be able to convince me that she will not leave a pair of
scissors, two yards of tape, a light bulb, and a hot water
bottle inside the first person operated upon while under her
supervision.

Now let's imagine that we're going to "hop" over to
another city about one hundred miles away. Airplanes in 1945
will be as common as the automobiles are today, so the air port
will be the first place to go. I just know that Bill Baird
will be an aviator so naturally he should be the one to pilot
us to our destination. During a little conversation between the
pilot and ourselves, we learn that Bill had been engineering a
project similar to the Boulder Dam only on a larger scale. He
is planning to become a naval officer next but watch out Bill,
there are no girls on the ocean. During the ten years, the
Brown star has been in the big league games of basketball, base-
ball and has even tried golf.

Prophecy (continued)

If we are able to arrive at our destination with out
a smash-up - the scycraper becomes the important attraction.
Lo and behold, in the very top story we find Julia Nixon has
finally become a stenographer although she is a little dizzy
from looking out of the window so much. She tried being a
colored maid in someon's home shortly after leaving Brown, but
the paint washed off in the dishwater and Julia lost her posi-
tion. This shy little girl has always liked poetry so she writes
a few poems. at luch hour.

In a little church by the way-side we see Clayton
Wigton has become a preacher instead of a butler - much to the
surprise of everyone, He calmly gives his simple version of
the Bible and inspires many of the youngsters to become bank
robbers.

We can easily picture Clarine Chambers hurrying down
the street in order to obtain an order from a big business firm
for Clarine is sure to become a saleswoman. After office hours
of course we will find her doing social work; all for the good
of the community.

In the outskirts of a near-by town, a small farm
owned by Edwin Sheets will make an attractive home for some
lucky girl. Edwin works hard all day and at night goes to the
little grocery store to talk over the news of the world with
the other town authorities.

After ten years, Evelyn Jervis will have a lot to
tell. When we find in a small theater billboard on Broadway,
that she will be a blues singer. She says that after leaving
home, the first place to capture her talents was a circus.
With this circus, Evelyn was a ballet dancer, chorus girl, and
for a short time after the death of one member of the troup,
she even took the part of the bearded lady.

After many weary hours, a person naturally seeks a
hotel. There we will discover that Ed Frye is the proprietor.
He seems to have quite a record for a short ten years. After
calling it a failure as a professor in French, Edward becomes
a doctor but due to the many deaths caused by his practice he
decides to become an undertaker. This business failed too be-
cause people stopped dying after he gave up being a doctor.
His big ambition was to become a naval officer but Bill Baird
cheated him there so Ed decided to own a hotel in order to
always have a place to sleep.

Later in the evening, we are able to have a few
minutes rest and shall stop at the theater. As the curtain
rises, the band strikes up an overture. There, to our dismay,
we see Grace Salmon leading the orchestra. Several funny look-
ing instruments prove to be inventions of her own and what
squacks they can produce! It seems that Grace studied musical
instruments in the Physics class at Brown; thus receiving
knowledge of horns and different scales that might be made
possible in the future.

After this experience we are very glad to return
to our hotel for some much needed rest but horror of horrors,
we are still unable to sleep for Edward, thinking it would be
cheaper, has stuffed the feather beds with paper instead of
feathers.

It may seem odd hat there is no member of our
class married, but remember that there were thirteen and that's
very unlucky. But who knows, someone may be fortunate enough
to marry a millionaire. It's a funny old world, you know.

Junior Class History

The year of 1924 was a very important one in history. It
was then that twenty or more active boys and girls started to
Brown School with books and pencils ro learn their A? B? C'S.

It was in the second grade that Brooks Cowgill and
Ruthella Sheets were made to take their places in the back of
the room at a little table because they could not be quiet.

Since our class isn't very ambitious in the way of study-
ing, we had to stay in at noon several times and study our lessons.

In the year 1929 we welcomed several new pupils from
Kingston. It may be difficult to believe, but it is the truth,
Dema Potter and your historian had to stand in the corner for
misbehavior.

Mischievous though we were, all of us were promoted to the
ninth grade to enter upon our high school career. As our class
has now entered high school we will participate in many activities.

We are now juniors and feel very dignified as upperclass-
men. We are very well represented in student activities. Dema
Potter, Beulah Wigton, Shirley Schilliger, Harriet Shannon,
Joan Fraker, and Leila Smith were on the baseball team this year.

James Williamson, Harold Pittman, David Fox, Glen Sheets,
and Brooks Cowgill were on the basketball team and several of
our boys represented the juniors on the boy's baseball team.

Sophomore Class History

In 1925 a group of small children, eager to learn
entered Brown School in the first grade with Miss Ramey as teacher.
ney was inclined to much mischief, but most everyone passed
to the second grade.

Passing into the third grade we had Miss Waldron
for a teacher who gave many pencils for learning the multi-
pication tables. With Miss Waldron still our teacher in the
fourth grade prized were received for stamps in geography.

Miss Leonard was our teacher in the fifth and
sixth grades. This year many new students from Kingston
entered our school and several received certificates in the
spelling and writing contests. Several were incline to
whisper during classes and had to stay in at recess.

When we entered high school in the seventh grade
we had a different teacher for each subject. The faculty
members are Mr. Hirth, Mr. Thurston, Miss Collicott, Miss
McKeown, Miss Toepher, Mr. Smith, and Miss Finley. During
this year several parties were given. These same teachers
were present when we passed into the eighth grade. During
this year we became so much wiser than they promoted us to
the junior high school.

In the freshman class Mr. Smith was replaced by
Mr. Nicholas, Miss Whitted replaced Miss McKeown and
Miss Ferguson replaced Miss Toepher. We were duly
initiated by the sophomores but although we were frightened
we succeeded in having a very enjoyable time.

The sophomore year was an interesting one for all.
We initiated the freshmen, entered into all school activities
and were well represented on the basketball teams.

Freshman Class History

Five frightened and bashful little boys and girls of the
present ninth grade class enrolled in the first grade at Brown
in September, 1926.

There were many other pupils who had come to our school
during the following nine years and also many who had left.

When school closed in May, 1932, six school children had
successfully passed their elementary grades at Brown High School,
under the supervision of Virginia Ramey, Myrtle Waldron, Georgia
Waldron, Georgia Leonard, and Rose Masur. These members with
others who had entered at previous times began their junior
high school career the following September.

At the eighth grade commencement in May, the students
received eighth grade certificates and eight of our members re-
ceived certificates for being in the upper twenty-five percent
in the state examination given to this grade.

At the present time there are twenty-two scholars in the
freshman class and we hope that they will all be successful in
completing their high school education.

Eighth Grade Class History

Chapter I. The year of 1927 saw another bright class of
tiny tots entering the first grade of Brown High School. Miss
Ramey was their teacher and during that year of adventures
some of the pupils had to learn how to sit in their seats
along with their A, B, C's. Most of the class of the future
'39 entered the second grade in 1928.

Chapter II. Miss Ramey again taught this class of mis-
chievous children who must have been very provoking to her
at times.

Chapter III. When We were in the third grade, we were
taught by a different teacher, Miss Waldron, and we also
entered a new room.

Chapter IV. The year 1930 saw a class that is doomed
to make history in grade four under Miss Koppert.

Chapter V. We were instructed in our fifth grade
studies by Miss Masur. During this year the class edited
booklets on the history of Brown Township, which we sold.

Chapter VI. We received many lectures this year on how
to conduct ourselves in junior high school.

Chapter VII. In our first seventh grade class meeting
we elected officers and student council members. Mr. Thurston
was our sponsor.

Chapter VIII. Our sponsor is Mr. Lynn Nicholas. We
presented two chapel programs and participated in the Home
Talents. We now look forward to graduation.

Seventh Grade History

Ten very serious and frightened youngsters entered
Brown School in the fall of nineteen hundred and twenty
nine. Since that time we have met many new and delight-
ful friends.

When Kingston was annexed by Brown, we gained many
new members.

There is one fact that is interesting in the case
of a good many of our members. By some hand of fate we
have had a new teacher each year of our school life.

We have now enrolled in our class seven girls and
fourteen boys making a grand total of twenty class
members.

We can say that although we were a little bit
backward when we first entered our life upstairs to see
all of the upper classmen hurrying about as though they
knew what it was all about, we soon overcame this complex
of inferiority and were quite thrilled at taking our
place among them.

Now, at the completion of our first year we have
made friends with many of the upper classmen and are
proud to say that we enter into activities and do our
part in making Brown High School interesting as well as
educational.

He Called Me Tomboy!

He called me tomboy, but he wished he hadn't!

Mr. and Mrs. __________ Oh what's their name? I
guess it doesn't matter anyway. Mother had cleaned me all
up and bought me a new pink dress because they were giving
a party for their little boy, and I was invited. I hated
that dress. It had so many ribbons and bows on it and they
were all in my way when I wanted to slide down the bannister.

Well, that isn't my story. I arrived at the party
with only one slipper a tiny bit muddy and one of my ribbons
town off when I tried to beat Tommy under the fence. (I beat
him, too.)

We were pulling taffy. Oh, that was the gooiest taffy
I every did see. I decided the best place to pull it was on the
bannister, where I felt the most at home, so there I perched
with one foot wedged against the rail so I would not fall,
and I pulled that taffy.

Jimmy came up and, just because he wanted to sit
where I was sitting, he called me a tomboy. I wouldn't have
minded if I really had been a tomboy, but I was the most ladylike
little girl you ever saw. Mother scolded me sometimes because
I played with the boys, but she didn't understand. Who would
want to play with those old sissies of girls! They always
played with dolls that broke if you threw them at anyone and,
they screamed when they saw a mouse, and I like to play with
mice. Oh, they were sissies, alright. No doubt about that.

"Jimmy", I screamed, "you dare to call me that again
and, I'll smear your face with this taffy."

As I leaped from the bannister, I lost one of my
tiny white slippers with those horrid buckles, which mother
said were so cute. Imagine that, cute. I told Jimmy I would
smear his face with taffy, but I missed his face in that leap
which horrified all of those little sissies with their old
dolls, and I got my hands and taffy tangled up in Tommy's hair.
He really did have beautiful hair. It was a dark brown and
very wavy. I could not get my hands out. It was worse than
fly-paper. Ten times worse, and the more I pulled the more
Jimmy screamed, but I didn't care. It didn't hurt me -- only
I was sorta scared for fear I wouldn't get any of that pink ice
cream and cake I had seen in the kitchen. Just as Jimmy let
out a loud yelp of pain, our hostess appeared in the doorway.
She cried out in dismay at the sight, but she soon regained
her composure and got some hot water which which she sopped
Jimmy's head and finally freed my hands. When Jimmy's hair
had dried, they had to cut off all of those beautiful auburn
curls.

Everyone teased poor Jimmy for letting a girl get
the better of him.

He called me a tomboy, but he wished he hadn't.

Wondering

Did you ever sit and wonder
What the day has brought to you-
At the fireside softly glowing,
Or in the study hall at school?

It may be an egg for dinner,
Or a simple cup of tea,
But did you ever stop to wonder
Just how grateful you should be?

Did you ever stop to wonder
Why the teachers give you a grade?
Do you wonder why pupils get angry
and ask the teachers for aid?

I wonder why people are funny;
I wonder if I am, too.
Do you think I will ever make a success?
I'm wondering, are you?

Wondering is a funny thing, you know,
It is very common, too.
Wondering may make you happy,
And also make you blue.

Wondering may not be useless,
Wondering is not the blame,
For the downfall of a citizen
Whose wondering has not led to fame.

To the Seniors of 1935

Your leaving raises a question I will ask;
What will we do without this class?
That is easy to answer, say Mutt and Jeff,
We will do as before when any other class left.

Yes, that is the way we all seem to say,
Yet we will miss you because you are so happy and gay.
Still there are others who will fill your place,
And we won't know you're out of the race.

After graduation and you are out of school,
Think of us as old school mates and not as fools.
Since you have been here for quite a spell,
It is time to bid you farewell.

A Sunday School Holiday

Beneath the sun, beneath the skies,
Beneath the green leaved trees,
Four little girls with sparkling eyes
Played gaily at their ease.

The white church door, flying open wide,
Let shining sun rays creep
With quiet stealth along the walls
The silence for to keep.

The parson rose, began to preach,
But lo! He lost his vim.
A mudball from an unseen source
Came rolling up to him.

Frank Barton grabbed a broom at once,
His dash was not in vain,
Right down the aisle and out the door
The mudball went again.

The same thing happened o'er and o'er,
Frank's strength was growing weak.
The tall grass waved outside and hit
the ones who seemed so meek.

The church adjourned, Frank Barton crept
Outside on hands and knees,
But four small girls with sparkling eyes
Played gaily at their ease.

Study Hall

While sitting here, trying to think of something
to do, the thought comes to my mind, just what are study halls
for anyway, and what should they be used for? Of course we
should realize by this time with twelve years of experience
that study hall periods should be used for studying; but
that's work and when the warm days of spring arrive, who wants
to work? Then comes through our mind, what we will do all
summer when we have no studying to bother us and we think
what a joyous time we can have then.

Something vague appears in our mind. Finally, I
realize that I have entirely neglected by French assignment.
Following that comes a breakdown in will power and a final
verdict that tonight would be a better time to study French;
besides, I may be in a better mood for French with a better
prepared lesson for tomorrow as a result of waiting.

Oh, that's right, someone said something about
fishing. Let me see _____. Indian Lake, Buckeye Lake, and
several good rivers. I will have to do some camping also.
Maybe I can combine the last two ideas. Well, there goes the
bell. Possibly, I had better go home and spend my time at
something worth while.

The Race

Back in the hills of Kentucky, in an old log cabin, lived
a boy and his mother. They had lived there together for a long
time for the boy's father had died when he was very young. After
his father's death his mother had a pretty hard time to keep
things going for Ted was not old enough to work.

Many years had passed now and Ted was a young man. He was
now doing the work and keeping his mother just as she had done
for him when he was young. He was making a go of it, too.

Ted's possessions were not very great but among them was
a race horse which he loved very much. The horse had not
raced any but Ted thought she had possibilities.

In the fall of the year there was to be a big race about
twenty miles from Ted's home. This race was held annually and
paid enormous stakes.

Ted started early in the spring to get his horse in shape
for the race. But the biggest obstacle to be overcome was to
raise fifty dollars to pay for the entering of his horse.

The final day of the race had come and Ted's horse was in
fine shape. Before Ted left for the race he promised his
mother that if he won the race he would build her a nice new
home. He kissed her tenderly and started for the track.

Most of the other race horse owners had hired jockeys to
ride their horses for them but Ted did not have the money to
pay for one so he was going to ride his horse himself. He knew
her ways better than anyone else anyway.

The time had come for the race to start and the horses
were all rearing to go. The crack of the gun and they are off.
Ted does not take the lead but he manages to stay pretty close
to the leading horse. The other horse had an experienced
jockey while Ted was just an amateur. On the homeward stretch
Ted leaned way up in the saddle and talked to his horse, Beauty,
and stroked her mane. This seemed to put a spurt of super-
natural power into her. She shot around the leading horse
and held this place to the finish of the race.

Ted had won and he could build his mother a new home
just as he had promised her. Not like most people, Ted did not
stay at the track to be admired by the crowd but hurried home
to tell the news to his mother for she was unable to attend
the race. The last I heard of him he was building his mother a
fine new home on a beautiful sight in Kentucky.

JUNIOR - Senior Banquet

On April 24, 1935, the senior found business en-
velopes on their desks sealed with the crescent of the high
school ring. When they opened them what should they find but
a code. What could this be? After several minutes they
found that it was an invitation to the Junior-Senior Banquet
which was to be held at Bun's on May 7.

Yellow, blue, pink and many other colored evening
gowns were assembled at Bun's on the evening of the event,
waiting for the program to begin. After a very delicious
dinner, a program was presented with Brooks Cowgill as the
toastmaster. Toasts were given by the following people: Dale
Marks Charlotte Link, Joan Fraker, Mr. Thurston, and Mrs.
Mathews. The theme of the program was"The New Deal. The

Behind the Scenes

The seniors for their class play presented "The
Mysterious Mrs. Updyke", a light comedy in three acts. The
play centered around the death of Mr. Updyke and the settling
of his estate. To complicate the plot the famous family jewels
were stolen from a secret safe. At the time of the play several
threatening letters are received by the family, but during the
course of action the jewels are returned.

Let us look in on the cast just before the
curtain goes up.

"Everyone ready? O.K., pull the curtains." of
course everyone heaves a sigh of relief when everything is
finally underway. After a few moments of nervous tension, the
players settle down to portraying the mystery story to the
audience. Appreciation of laughs and applause encourage the
actors to perform beyond all expectations, although we always
did have faith in ourselves.

Signed
Senior Class


MUSIC

Under the encouragement and direction of the music
supervisor, Miss Faye Finley, Brown has made a great ad-
vancement in music during the past few years. We are proud
to say that our music plays an important part in both school
and community activities.

Our choir was commended highly on the auditions which
it gave at the Delaware County Music Festival.

Besides participating in the music festival both the
choir and orchestra have contributed to our Home Talents,
Senior Class Play intermissions, and chapel programs.

In the Junior High School, we have the Bach Boy's
Choir, the Junior High Girl's Glee Club, the Instrumental
Music Class, and the seventh grade boy's music club.

In the Senior High we have the A Cappella Choir, the
Senior High Boy's Glee Club, the Senior High Girl's Glee
Club, The Senior Quartet, and the Orchestra.

CHAPEL

"Chapel today?" Oh, that's right. Those little
seventh graders are going to try their luck at giving a
chapel program. "Where is it today - in the auditorium or
in the study hall?" Well, I'll go down and listen to it.
I suppose I'll have to but I know those little children
cannot put on a real chapel program. It'll probably be
dryer than lecture although we may be able to get some
laughs from their mistakes.

"Did someone say that the seventh grade could-
n't put on a chapel program?" If they did they were crazy
because I attended their chapel, and to my complete surprise,
enjoyed the program very much.

"Next week the juniors have charge of chapel,
don't they?" They're going to produce a sample of what a
chapel should be, but just wait until the seniors get their
chance. They'll really show you how it's done.

The seniors are notified that the next chapel is
left to them. Now since it is in our hands what will we have?
Who's going to participate? Shall Gladys and Evelyn sing?
Shall we put on a play? - a religious program? Oh goodness,
it's Thursday and we can't decide what to do. You see, we
have so many excellent ideas and splendid talent that we ca-
not decide what our audience would like best. Friday after-
noon Mr. Hirth is told that we will have to postpone what
once was to have been an ideal chapel. We thought maybe the
faculty would give us a whole day sometime in order that we
might present the larger share of our talent, thus not dis-
appointing any of our audience but as they thought we did
not need the experience to develop our dramatical or musical
ability by appearing before an audience, we had to indefinitely
postpone our first chapel. I think, however, that the seniors
will be able to make that up with this last chapel, dont you?

JUNIOR HOME TALENT

The junior class presented their first Home
Talent, Tuesday night, November 20, with a very large attend-
ance. Musical numbers, a play, and several stunts, were
given by members of the school, community and teachers. The
juniors presented to the people the talent which we have in
both the school and outside community.

A large group of people attended the last Home
Talent given by the junior class Wednesday evening, March
27. The main feature of the program was a musician, Mr.
Zinc, from Delaware. Other numbers were given by people of
the community, school and Ohio Wesleyan. Everyone enjoyed
the evening of fun and the juniors wish the coming class
sincere success in their future home talents.

The Junior High Halloween Party

Pretyy autumn decorations for the annual junior high
Halloween party were maple leaves, cor shocks, and pump-
kin faces.

When the uniquely and gayly dressed guests arrived
the room was one wonderful kaleidoscopic scene.

Games were enjoyed by the guests and at the close
of the evening refreshments in keeping with Halloween were
served.

Charlotte Leonard


High School Halloween Party

Oh!!! Oh!! Oh! and Oh! What are all the hoboes,
spooks, ghosts, tramps, Indians, old-fashioned maidens, over-
sized men and women, and reckless waiters doing here? Why
it's October 29, 1934 and this is the High School Halloween
party. Who are these people? We're sure they're not our
schoolmates because we never saw them before. Finally we
discover the identity of all of them but one. Who could that
little Red Riding Hood be? Do you know? no. Unmask. Why,
it's Miss Collicott! Isn't she a sport?

What's that? A treasure hunt? Sure. Hope I win!
Whoever uttered this wish was disappointed because Boydson
Baird and another fleet footed person were the lucky ones.

Play games? Hotcha! Who doesn't love to play games
at good old Brown High?

Refreshments? Yum! Yum! Are they good? Three
cheers for the refreshment committee? Give 'em a hand, boys!

INITIATION PARTY

With many fears and trepidations the class of
nineteen hundred thirty eight met on and ideal autumnal
night in early October at the entrance of Brown School.
The event of the evening was the annual freshman initiation
party given by the sophomores.

Excitement was in the air when the signal was
given requesting the freshmen to enter one at a time,
remove their shoes and stockings and to be blindfolded.

After this ceremony they were led in great pomp
"up a stair and down a stair" until a guide said, "Step
high." Splash! They were standing in a bucket of water.

In due time everyone arrived in room twenty two
where a scramble for shoes and stockings ensued. No one
can know how hard it is to find them in the hughe pile
all tied together.

After going through the formality of daubing our
cheeks with mercurochrome, blacking our faces with soot,
pouring water in our eyes and feeding us sandwiches filled
with vaseline and lard, the sophomores had made
us pledged members of Brown High School and we went home
feeling much wiser and thinking of the initiation party
for the class of nineteen hundred thirty-nine.

BASKETBALL

The basketball team of Brown High had a very
successful year although they did not win the championship.
They played a total of sixteen games -- winning eight and
losing eight. The team was handicapped by the loss of one
of its best players, Glen Allen Sheets, but still kept up the
fighting spirit. They went on to win the consolation champion-
ship by defeating three of the teams that had previously beat-
en them in county schedule games.

Because of the teams great showing they were honored
with three banquets. These were presented by the teachers,
senior girls, Mrs. Pittman and Leonard Brothers. Bill Baird
was chosen captain and was presented a trophy for being the
most valuable player. The services of three players will be
lost to the team, but with several other boys available for
the coming year we expect a stronger group of players to de-
fend the record of Brown High and bring more trophies to our
school.

Smith, Dale Marks, and Bill Baird for the two mile relay. The
three boys on the discus team were awarded medals for being
the second best discus team in the relay. The two mile
relay team placed fourth. This is the best record that any
track team has ever made during the history of the school.

The teams journeyed to Athens on May 4. They were very
fortunate in winning 1st and 2nd in the javelin, 2nd in the
discus, and 3rd in the two mile relay. Those in the two mile
relay were: Guy Smith, Dale Marks, Boydson Baird, and Bill
Baird. Bill received first in the javelin throw and Boydson

Summer Difficulties

If you scout round and get opinion about school vacations,
you will find that school lasts too long, and summer not long
enough. That is what I have discovered from the boys of the
school. This is the answer I received from boy in the first
six grades when I asked him how long summer should last: "I think
summer should last eleven months and thirty-one days." Then I
asked him how he would get a whole year of summer here. He
replied rather disgustedly that he would go south and cut ex-
penses by not having to buy heavy clothing and shoes in winter.

From the various ideas I have received from the lower
grade pupils I have been unable to solve the problem.

I would like to know a graduates answer to these questions
because I am sure it would be different, as there are two
sides to every question.
