A hasty glance all around and solemn- ly, even cautiously, he slipped into a vacant seat. How large was the great Assembly Hall, how numerous the seats, how stern the teachers! How great were the seats, how numerous the rows, between him and the Seniors. How very dignified, all important those Seniors were! How much more attention they command than all the twenty-eight grinning Freshies combined. He turned, smiled sardonically at his neighbors, then with an air of composure and many shiftings of feet, settled himself comfortably in bis seat. So began the first day of High School life. The election of class officers took place soon after the beginning of school. Alice Samples was elected president. Haver Giddings vice president and Grace Stryker secretary and treasurer. One interesting event which took place was the class fight for colors; Freshmen-Jun- ior versus Sophomore-Senior. The Sophomore-Seniors were the lucky winners. At the beginning of the second year, six were absent leaving twenty-two to represent the Sophomore class. The officers for this year were Gravce Stryker, president, Alice Sam- ples, vice president. Florence Knearl, secretary and treasurer. Page Fourteen It was during this year that the High School pupils were entertained by the Faculty. The party was given in the honor of St Patrick. The color scheme green and white was carried out in the decorations and refresh- ments. Progressive games were played. Other parties also took place during this year. The Junior year was a very interesting year with its fun during school hours, its parties, hikes and the competition with the Seniors. Only sixteen out of the original Twen- ty-two were left to take part in these good times. The officers of the year were: president. Haver Giddings. vice president. Alice Samples, secretary and treasurer. Leonora Hansen. One of the principal events of this year was the entertainment of the Seniors at an informal reception at the Commercial Club rooms. September sixth nineteen sixteen raised six girls and four boys to the dignity of Seniors. The officers were Leonora Hansen president. Haver Giddings secretary and treasurer. About two weeks after the opening of the school, the Freshmen were initiated and ad- mitted informally into the midst of the High School activities by the Senior reception in their honor. At the end of the first semester three were added to the class, one a former resi- dent of Iowa and two, whose intellectual abilities rendered them capable of finishing High School in three years. '1 he ‘‘Aggie party and the party given for the Seniors by the Freshmen class were very sucessful. So was the Senior-Junior class play, “The Dream that came True,” given in both Brush and Hillrose. 'I'lie days are fast fleeting. In a few weeks we will no longer be active members of Brush High. As a parting gift we leave our one great success, the beginning of the Annual, which will induce all to agree that the class of 1917 has not lived in vain. J. A. B. Page Fifteen THE SUMMARY Class Poem Here's to the class of 1917 A better class has ne’er been seen. A jolly bunch anti a happy one The best old class beneath the sun. And we will still press onward From the place we leave today, And we shall e’er be climbing Nor loiter on the way. Our childhood days passed quickly Which we so much regret; For we loved them very dearly And them we’ll ne’er forget. Front homelife we entered our school career Became acquainted to ways with us strange We felt no desire at all to ask why; In our lives there had been such a change. Obedience was learned When first we went to school, Where work went on in routine And all obeyed the rules. Many friendships did we make Teachers, too, have grown most dear. The continuance of these friendships I trust we need not fear. The work grew still more difficult As we advanced from grade to grade. Associates were not now the same— Every day new friends we made. Ties of friendships growing stronger. Growing stronger day by day Xow we wish the path were longer That we might together stay. In the future there'll he bright memories Of those High School days of yore. And then there’ll be that longing For those happy days once mou. We'll keep bright memories of the past When we strove so hard to win lint this work is not our last. We end but to begin. e re determined to sail onward : It is our aim most high. To be always looking forward. And helping the weak as the years pass by.

Of course being Freshmen, we were shy for a time, hut before long we were beginning to make our names famous. A great many exciting and embarrassing experiences came to us because we were Freshmen. The Seniors gave us a reception and we were requested to dress as kindergarten children. Although we were green, we behaved nicely and soon after this, we gave a skating party in honor of the Seniors, which the High School seemed to enjoy. One sorowful thing, was, that often we could have given the school some good ad- vice. but the upper classmen expected us to be very meek and quiet, saying. “Small Child- ren should he seen and not heard.” They watched us closely, especially the night of the Freshmen Hallowe’en Party. We waited patiently for the time to come when we could dictate to those below us. This privilege came to us when we were Sophomores. We trained the Freshmen to be as dignified as those who had preceded them. Due to our splendid planning, the best Sopho- more Sneak Day is on record. Among the Juniors as we now are called there have been two on the debating team, several of our boys on the foot ball and basket ball teams: two members in the Glee club and we are proud to acknowledge that one of our boys took highest individual honors in the stock judging contest, while another took highest honor in judging dairy cattle. Next year we shall undoubtedly put the records of the other classes in the shade.

History of Class of 1919 hen we, the class of 1919. first entered Brush High School, we felt as all Fresh- ies feel—rather squelched, to use our present day language. We had one consolation for our class was large and brainy. We started our social doings with a straw ride which was an immense success. Many parties followed and we gained the name of a live hunch. Then fol- lowed the gala day for us—the party to which the teachers, upon whom we wish- ed to make a good impression were invited. The color fight gave the most enjoyment to the school, along with broken noses and other pieces of bruised anatomy. Aided by the very competent Juniors, we obtained the colors of the Seniors and tore them to shreds. The rest of our interesting first year's placidity was broken by an occasional party. Our Sophomore year opened in a lively way, as we elected officers on the 7th of Sept- ember. A strawride was arranged for the next Saturday and watermelon patches suf- fered. On the following morning Sophomore colors were floating gaily from the top of the school house. An interesting party held in a barn loft, and properly chaperoned, was much enjoyed. As the spooky” night of October 31st approached, preparations for a class party on that evening were made. The latter part of the year was spent in doing our part for the Track and Tennis teams. Reallv we are enjoying our school life in dear old B. H. S. E. J. B.

Page Thirty-seven THE SUMMARY -.as®. =1f History of Class of 1920 Our first encounter occurred when we entered the assembly room where those dread- ed upper classmen clapped their hands, making us feel so insigni ficient as to wish we had never heard of a high school. It is the same way on the street or anywhere in public when one asks, “Who is that?” The listener replies with a sarcastic smile, “Only a Fresh- man.” Perhaps we are only Freshmen, but who knows but what the cord which binds us together as a class may contain a whole bundle of possibilities, which, when aroused by the magnet of class spirit and put into action by the guidance of our teachers may result with benefit to the world and glory to ourselves. The first year of our high school lift is passing away and we have been able to show our ability as students. We have also been able to make an excellent showing in a social way. We Freshmen are aiming at a great many targets, all of them mounted in the most attractive style, but we can tell later how near each one of us comes to the bull’s eye. Wheth- er we win or lose in these different phases of life, it is better to aim at a thing and miss it than to aim at nothing and hit the mark.

Alumni The members of the Brush Union High School Alumni may he found in all parts of the United States, in almost every known occupation and in all walks of life. They are all “making good in the world and are a credit to the community in which they reside and their success is a tribute to the High School in which the secured their preliminary education. W e hope that when this book, the first volume of the “Brush Summary.” falls into their hands they will think for one short moment over the now gone but not forgotten past and live again the happiest days of their lives—the days they spent in the Brush High school.

The Northeastern Association selected Brush twice in succession as the point of meeting, and was asked to take it the third time. Almost all the teams we have met in contest have been representatives of schools or- ganized in first class districts or as county high schools, while we are organized as a district of the second class. This vear for the first time, a triangular meet was held at Akron between the schools of Brush, Akron and Wray. At this meet Brush carried off the highest honors, leading its nearest opponent by twenty points. Society Notes When the Freshmen first entered the H. S.. we all know how timid they were so the Seniors welcomed them with a reception, which was the beginning; of the social affairs of 1916-17. Football season soon opened and our first game was with Sterling. After the game a supper was given to all the Sterling people who came, in the basement of the Presbyterian Church. The Freshmen girls also gave the Morgan hovs a supper after their game. Soon after school started there were two literary societies organized, the Hiunarity and the Hysculitso. They met every two weeks and some fine programs were given. Those who missed the “feed” which the football boys gave to the girls and faculty of the H. S. will never know what fine hosts football players can 1 e. The toast master in his own original way, after finishing his toast said. I have made a fool of myself and now its some one’s else turn.” On April 5th, Mr. Nelson decided to give the High School a half holiday which we made use of by having a picnic at the river. After playing games for awhile, everyone was ready for the eats. Later we all drove to Fort Morgan and paraded the streets. On April 12 the Freshmen gave a reception in honor of the Seniors in the High School music room. Gossip, games and goodies concluded an enjoyable evening. “Coming events cast their shadows before,” so we know more good times are coming. Page Sixty-nine A Reminiscence Hello girls! How are you? How’s it you come here tonight? Glad surprise for me. What’s that? Oh thank you I am all right. It's a long time since I’ve seen you. It must he almost five years since we worked at old Brush High, mid sorrows, joys and tears. Remember the periods between 10:30 and 12:00, where we spent them? What we did there, how we toiled and delved. Lots of work there was and yet we had our good times, too. Little accidents will happen, so be careful what you do. We spilled pepper on the stove. It was Lillian that held the pepper, promotes the worst and most contagious colds. Dear tender hearted Goldie, a genius at the art of pleas- ing little children, put sugar in the salt. Hetty learned from old experiences, as many of us doth, that frying pans, . cc hot, wdl oxidize oil cloth. Stella calmly tells us thru knowledge deep and keen, that the reason we wash dates is just to keep them clean. Hello Frieda, why there is Lois, too. It is they who cling to little Johnny’s protest, ‘‘I never did a thing.” And dear old Leonora said spaghetti was so cheap to spill a little on the floor would teach us how to sweep. How about the cookies. Ruth, O, ours were not bad. I’ve heard that too much butter will make cor kies look so sad. T’was Miss Chace who said it in a tone as soft as silk. Tho a hairpin is very useful ’twas not made to skim the milk. After all these years, confess girls that in your ears still ring a few familiar phrases, yet pleasant memories bring “ten times the recipe for cocoa.” Five times the thin white sauce “where is Monitor seven.” “measure the sugar for apple sauce,” “check your stoves girls.’ “something’s burning.” “too much salt it seems.” “whose using the quart measure?,” “say that butter’s creamed,” “Stella you may get the buns.” “Ruth prepare the fruit,” “to- day we will have ham sandwiches and the ix tatoe soup.
