Goodbye, Mr. Chips

Goodbye, Mr. Chips – Full of enthusiasm, young English schoolmaster Mr. Chipping came to teach at Brookfield in 1870.  It was a time when dignity and a generosity of spirit still existed, and the dedicated new  schoolmaster expressed these beliefs to his rowdy students.  Nicknamed Mr. Chips, this gentle and caring man  helped shape the lives of generation after generation of boys. He became a legend at Brookfield, as  enduring as the institution itself. And sad but  grateful faces told the story when the time came for  the students at Brookfield to bid their final  goodbye to Mr. Chips.
