These may be the only existing papers from Brunswick High School, 1938. They were excavated while removing the old moldings around the bathroom door of our home in 2005. Using the Internet, we contacted Clifton Frye's brother and were able to find out a little more about the house such as the fact that he and his older brother were the ones who built the retaining wall on the west side of the property.

Note: If you happen to know the correct name of the song for #5 we'd like to hear from you. The original paper was somewhat illegible due to poor handwriting skills, however Parling Male Groy is what it says and it may very well be that title. |
