D0 YOU REMEMBER ???
In the fall of 1939, the Frazier School was opened. He started
our Freshman year at that time, attending Frazier because the
High School building was too small and crowded.
The Japanese assault on Pearl Harbor stunned us at Brentwood
High, as well as the rest of the nation, on December 7, 1941.
There was gas rationing, shoe rationing, tire rationing, food
shortages and 'meatless Tuesday".
Brentwood High School was a very small structure in 1940 but a
larger Gym replaced the old one that year. By the fall of 1944
the first addition to the original school building was completed
The south wing contained eight classrooms and there was a lunch
room in the basement.
Our Junior-Senior Prom was held at Van Horn's Farm on Litzsinger
Road. (Do you know it's now a church?) Elaine Peterson was the
From Queen and Tom Buder was her escort. Class Presidents were
Elaine Peterson for the girls and LeRoy Stanford for the boys.

THE CLASS OF 1943 B. C.
(Before Computers)
We were before the pill and the population explosion. We were
before television and before penicillin, polio shots,
antibiotics, and frisbees. Also, we were before frozen foods,
nylons, dacron, Xerox, and Kinsey. In addition, we were before
radar, sonar, fluorescent and lasar lights, credit cards and ball
point pens. For us, time-sharing meant togetherness not
computers or vacation spots; a chip meant a piece of wood;
hardware meant hardware and software wasn’t even a word!!
We were before Batman, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer and Snoopy.
Also, before DDT and vitamin pills, disposable diapers, Scotch
tape and M&M's.
When we were in school, Pizzas, Cheerios, frozen orange juice,
instant coffee and McDonalds were unheard of. We thought fast
food was what you ate during Lent. We were before FM radio, tape
recorders, electric typewriters, word processors, computers,
electronic music and disco dancing.
Almost no one flew across the country and trans-Atlantic flight
belonged to Charles Lindberg and Amelia Earhart. We were before
Israel, and the United Nations; before Pakistan, Indonesia,
Iceland, the Philippines, and many other new nations were
independent countries.
He were before pantyhose and drip dry clothes. Also, before ice
makers and dish washers, clothes dryers freezers and electric
blankets. Before Hawaii and Alaska became states. we were
before yogurt, Ann Landers, plastics hair dryers the 40 hour week
and minimum wage. We got married first and then lived together
How quaint!
We were before coin vending machines, jet planes, helicopters and
interstate highways. In our day cigarette smoking was
fashionable; grass was mowed, coke was something you drank and a
pot was something in which you cooked.
In our time there were five-and-ten cent stores where YOU C°“ld
buy things for five and ten cents. For just one nickel you C0uld
ride the bus or make a phone call, buy a Coke or buy a stamP U0
mail a letter and get two cents change.
If anyone in those days had asked us to explain CIA, NATO, UFO,
NFL, JFK, ERA or IUD we would have said alphabet soup. We were
not before the difference in the sexes was discovered but before
sex changes. We just made do with what we had!
AND S0 IT WAS IN 1943!

bution to the cause of freedom.
With deep respect.
