A special donation by Dana Miller honors the
memory of Mable Mary Burnham Ellis who graduated from Brashear High School in
May of 1928. Dana has offered us Mrs.
Ellis’s scrapbook from 1927-28 entitled The
Girl Graduates Journal. The
scrapbook is an excellent example of a primary source that can be used for
research into the history of our school as well as a peek into the life of a
young lady in the 1920’s. Following is
an excerpt from her journal:
“In the year 1925
thirty-five green freshmen booked passage on the B.H.S. liner and started their High School cruise on the
first Monday in September…. On December 9, 1925
a calamity occurred which looked as if it might cease our voyage. The dear old
B.H.S. burned. However we continued our voyage in the Opera
House. We docked from May until September 1926. But in September we continued our sailing in
a new and modern B.H.S. as
Sophomores, with a large gymnasium and auditorium with new scen- ery, steam heat, hot and cold showers,
electric clocks and equipment for all kinds of in- door sports.”
To glimpse into the life and time at BHS in
the mid 1920’s, visit the special book collection in our library.
Again this month we have books that have been
donated to the library in the memory of loved ones who have passed on. Build
Your Own Contemporary Furniture and Easy
Wood Furniture Projects were donated
in memory of Richard Coy by Dennis and Diane Bradley. They Made
America was donated by Pat and Eleanor Ellebracht.
Books make a lasting tribute to the memory of
our loved ones. If there is someone
that you would like to memorialize in this way, please contact Denise Brown,
Library Media Specialist at 323-5272.

Nauvoo on the Road, an educational program
from the Nauvoo Christian Visitor’s Center, visited the Tiger Pride After
School program on Thursday, February 17.
This presentation provided an opportunity for
our students to glimpse life in early pioneer days. Candle making, brick making, rope making, as well as making
gingerbread cookies and playing pioneer games were among the featured
demonstrations.
The students enjoyed the program and as you
might expect they loved eating the gingerbread cookies and playing the
games. Others were fascinated by the
various demonstrations but a particular favorite was the rope making.
We would like to follow up on this visit to
help our students understand more about our heritage and life in the past. If you have stories that you have heard from
your parents or grandparents or have a special skill or talent that you could
share with our students, we would love to invite you to our after school
program.
