Bebtcatton To MISS IRENE BLEASDALE Our Loyal Friend and Sponsor We Affectionately Dedicate This Book Page Three Patience is a virtue Ilie Brush I nion High School serves as an educational institution for eight districts near and adjoining the city of Brush. The present organization is that of the regular four-year High School. The enrollment averages around two hundred. With these large, fertile districts tributary to our High School, it is only a matter of a year or two until the enrollment will outgrow the present building and a larger one will have to he provided. We understand that tentative plans fora large five-hundred-pupil High School are under way, and that something definite will be done in the near future. The need and value of education is becoming more generally felt each year, which is shown by the ever-increasing attendance in higher schools. It is utterly impossible to give an accurate or comprehensive estimate of the real value of an education. Nevertheless, a few facts are evident and accented by all: 1. Education gives a broader understanding of human activities. In other words, it should give one a true philosophy of life. 2. The demand for trained men and women is becoming greater and greater. Many linns will not employ anyone with less than a High School education. 3. An education polishes and smoothes off the rough edges. It has a refining influence and it multiplies one’s capabilities. 4. It is a business proposition. It is the safest and soundest investment one can make. It pays big dividends. 5. It promotes and establishes habits of health. Page Four H e know what ire are, but not what we may be 3n Appreciation We, the members of the Junior (’lass, take this means of expressing our «PI reciation of the financial aid extended ns by the Class of ’2.3. Because of their donation, the burden of publishing our Annual was lightened consid- erably. This money will be handed down to the next class that edits an Annual and they will in turn pass it down to the next. In this way, we hope that this act of helpfulness on-the part of the Seniors will he remembered in many Annuals to come. We wish to thank everyone else who has assisted us in any way, espe- cially Mr. Howe, Mr. Donley and Mr. Gray. The Junior Class. The Board of Education O. B. Schooley..........President B. M.

Every day should he passed as if it were to he our last Page Eleven OUR SCHOOL DOMESTIC SCIENCE Our Domestic Science Department comes under the supervision of Miss Plumb. She devotes her forenoons to High School classes and her afternoons to those of the grade school. There are two classes, one advanced and one elementary. The elementary class meets for two periods and no outside work is required. The first semester was devoted to cooking and the second to sewing. Full credit is given. The advanced class was not organized until the second semester, but the girls have accomplished a great deal. On Wednesdays, dinners and luncheons are served by the girls of this class. On Thursdays, dainty foods are pre- pared by them and sold at cost to the ladies about town. Food for banquets and receptions given by the school are also prepared in the Domestic Science Department. The girls who are taking Domestic Science this year have found the course a most pleasant one, and under the leadership of Miss Plumb, it is also a most useful one. T. L. LANGUAGE Language seems to be a very popular subject in B. H. S. Latin, probably the most popular of the foreign languages taught, is in the form of a two- year course. Latin 1 was such a large class that a division was necessary, making two classes of first year Latin. Mr. Stevenson teaches all three classes of Latin. Trench, a little less difficult, has not as large an enrollment as Latin. It is also given in a two-year course. Miss Martin has charge of the French Department and makes it very interesting. E. M. I’niK Tirclrn Hr known little who tells his wife all he knows COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The Commercial Department offers various courses in business lines, such as Commercial Arithmetic, with Business English following it the last semester; Shorthand 1 and 2; Bookkeeping 1 and 2. and numerous classes in Typewriting. The typewriting room is well equipped with different kinds of typewriters and changes are made every two weeks, so as to enable one to use any model of typewriter. Each year the Commercial Departments of the state conduct a contest between the different schools. This contest includes every branch that is taught in the Commercial Department. One of our students in Bookkeeping took second prize in the state contest. Another student took third in rapid calculation. This department offers a very speedy and acccurate course in all lines. Our students have holies of winning the cups in the state contest this year. M. X. HISTORY History is one of the fundamental subjects in a high school course. It is valuable, not only because of the fact that it adds to the sum total of our knowledge, but it also enables us to interpret the conditions now existing, and predict future events, in the light of the happenings of the past. In Brush High School this year, three different history courses are given. In the course in Ancient and Mediawal History, the important events from the earliest historic times down to the time of the early settlers in North America are studied. Modern History begins with the pre-Xapoleonic period in European history, and extends to the present time. There are two classes in Ancient History and two in Modern History. They are under the supervision of Miss Bleasdale. Seniors are required to take American History, which is a complete course in the history of the United States of America. Mr. Stevenson, our able in- struitor. makes this study a most interesting one. L. F. The world, dear friend, is a strange affair I'( ) ’ Thirteen MANUAL TRAINING Our Manual Training Department is under the instruction of Mr. Skaggs, who also lias charge of tlie boys’ physical education. This department is one of the most widely known in our school. There is ample equipment to make anything one may desire. A lathe, turning saw and a number of other machines are at our disposal. Many useful and beautiful articles are made and nearly every home in town has something that was made in our school. A considerble amount of work has been done around the school by the boys: benches were made for the gymnasium, which add considerably to its seating capacity and makes things more convenient for the spectators. Tables were made for the library, which added to its appearance and usefulness. Book-cases were made by the boys for the library, and also for the class-rooms. Much of the material used for track is made by our Manual Training boys. A large number of Freshmen and Sophomore boys and a few girls take this subject. F. P. SCIENCE Our Science Department is under the supervision of Mr. Howe. The rooms are arranged on the order of the unit system. The chemistry laboratory is on the east side of the southern exposure and the physics laboratory is on the west side of the southern exposure. Between the laboratories is the lecture room, where classes are held. Glass window partitions separate the various rooms. Thus it is possible for the supervisor to have classes in all three rooms at once. Physics is very interesting and instructive. Many experiments are con- ducted which are of practical value and use in every-day life. Chemistry is somewhat more difficult than Physics, and necessitates more application. Biology has been made a full-year subject, and the course is quite exten- sive. Psychology is a half-year subject. Biology and Psychology are under the supervision of Miss Bleasdale. E. M. Page Fourteen Handsome is as handsome does ENGLISH The English work is comprised of English I. English II. American Lit- erature and English Literature. English IV class studies the lives and productions of English authors. The first semester was under Miss Martin, the last under Miss Dobson. Its aim is to obtain an appreciation of English literature. The Tattler was published once every two weeks the first semester by this class. American Literature is taught in the third-year class by Mr. Stevenson. The lives of American authors and their productions are studied with the view of developing an appreciation of the best in American literature. English I and English II are taught by Miss Martin and Miss Dobson. Composition work, debating, short-story writing and certain classics are stud- ied. Every Friday a program along English lines, such as dialogues, plays, readings and speeches, is given. M. E. MUSIC The Music Department of our school is one of the most pleasant ones. Miss Jones, the instructor, devotes two afternoons to the High School music. On Mondays, she has the Junior and Senior boys the first period, the Sopho- more boys the second period and the Freshman boys the last period. I uesday she spends with the girls classes. Our work in music has been part singing, and from the various classes Miss Jones has picked her Glee ( lubs. The days that we spend in the music room with Miss Jones are the brightest ones of the week, for we seem to get pep from singing as from no other study, and besides, we could not help but contract some of Miss Jones enthusiasm. V. A. ART Art, one of the most interesting subjects taught this year, has been under the efficient supervision of Miss Foulk. The first of our fascinating work was the making of Batik blouses, table runners and pillows. . Candle decorating was popular about Christmas time. I here was a great variety of them, with dripped and painted decorations. These made lovelv gifts. After the holidays, each of us made a piece of “tie-dye. Me found this very practical in making old things like new. Then we began gathering together pretty-shaped bottles, boxes, odd pieces of ivory and old manicuring sets, and with a little enamel and oil paint, we have transformed worthless or inexpensive articles into fifteen or twenty dollar dresser sets. We ure going to enamel and decorate waste-paper baskets and then do block printing. If anv time remains, we hope to have a short course in either costume designing or interior decorating. Aside from our accomplishments this year, we have gained knowledge which will help us in the future, in making ourselves and our homes more attractive. E. P . rape Fifteen Sti le is the dress of thoughts AGRICULTURE Mr. Hartshorn has charge of our Agriculture Department. Animal Hus- bandry is, perhaps, the most important phase of this department. Stock- judging is taken up with Animal Husbandry. Trips are made through the surrounding country to judge stock. There are some fine animals in our community. I he hoys learn to fit horseshoes and how to weld and temper iron. '1 hey also learn how to operate and repair gas engines. Farm book- keeping is taught, so that when the boys get to farming for themselves they will know how to make it a profitable business. A course in farm-building construction is offered. File boys bring milk and cream from home and test it here. 1 hey know just what their milk is testing, and. as a result, which cows are profitable. Our prospects for a winning stock-judging team are fine. Last year one of our men was second high-point man in the state. Our team took fourth place in the state. We hope to do even better this year. R. M. MATHEMATICS I he Mathematics Department of our High School is under the super- vision of Mrs. Bowman. Mrs Bowman is a very capable and efficient instruc- tor. She is a graduate of the State Teachers College at Greeley, Colorado, and is familiar with all phases of High School mathematics. Her domain is in one of the sunny rooms on the south side of the building, where faces are always cheerful, because students in our school never go to mathematics classes without their lessons prepared. Elementary and advanced Algebra and plane and solid Geometry are taught. Hawkes-Lubv-Tcton Algebra textbooks are used and A Vent worth- Smith Geometries. AA'ith her instruction and the aid of these texts, we feel sure that Brush High students are getting their full share of knowledge and training from their mathematics. T. L. He that joes n-borrowing, goes a-sorroiring l’u(K Si jinn EXPRESSION For a time this year our Expression classes were under the direction of Miss Ryan. Some of the time M as devoted to technique, the rest to memorizing and learning to give readings. The classes gave some very excellent entertainments in the assembly, and on November 27. a three-act play entitled “Come Out of the Kitchen,” was given at the Emerson Theater. It was very well attended by a satisfied audience. Shortly before the close of the first semester, we learned that Miss Ryan Mas not returning to us after the holidays. Since we thought a great deal of M iss Rvan, we were verv sorrv to lose her. However, her place has been filled by M iss Dobson. m horn we admire. More technique and readings Mere studied and now, at the close of the year, those people mIio took up Expression have an excellent supply of readings from the best authors at their command, with the training and ability to give them Mell. and the power to fill satisfactorily places in nearly any sort of dramatic entertainment.

We were not considered as green as most freshmen, because the Seniors knew as little of the new building as we did. Our first activity was a rather successful pie supper, given for the eighth graders. We were initiated first, by being made to gather wood for the football rally bonfire; next, at the Hallowe’en masquerade party, given by the sophisticated Seniors. We were then taught to eat raw oysters and smell ammonia without fainting. We enjoyed sev- eral social activities, such as skating and other parties. We established our reputa- tion by winning first and second prizes in an essay contest and third prize in lyceum introduction. As Sophomores, we realized the importance of our position, and were guests at a number of social events, but gave only one party for the High School, at Christmas time. We won a prize in the lyceum this year, also. Although unable to publish an annual, even after having a pie supper and carnival to help financially, we feel that our Junior year was made successful by our class play, “The Real Thing After All,” and the Junior-Senior banquet. As we took our place as Seniors, we felt that our last year must be one of good cheer, so we began by entertaining the school at a picnic, at which we initiated the Freshmen. We have enjoyed a great many class activities, and when the class play and com- mencement are over, we hope that everyone will feel that we have been a credit to Old Brush High! M. C. L. V. L. J. R.

Like all other Freshmen, we were afraid to move lest someone notice us. We had not been there long, however, until our jolly laughter and winning ways won the admiration of the upper classmen, which we have retained through our long struggle at B. H. S. The Seniors welcomed us with a reception, which we enjoyed immensely. Since we were Freshmen, we were given the privilege of gathering the wood for the bonfire at the football rally, which was held at the beginning of the football season. At the close of the term, we made known our brotherly love for our fellow classmen by giving a weiner roast in their honor. The next year we entered school as full-fledged members of B. H. S. Miss Early was our monitor that year. Our Sophomore year activities consisted of a basket social, a Hallowe'en party and four other parties given by groups of Sophomores at their homes. We were very eager to come back to school this fall, for as Juniors we knew we had a great deal to accomplish. We started the year out by giving a carnival, the pro- ceeds of which went to the Annual. This was followed by a pie social, given also for the benefit ot the Annual. A party at Opal Martin’s home and one given by our sponsor. Miss Bieasdale, helped to mix joy with labor this season. Not much time was spent on social events, however, since most of our time was taken up by the class play, the Annual and the Junior-Senior reception. We are very proud of our class, and expect next year, when we are Seniors, to become qualified leaders whom all shall look upon with favor.

Some of us stretched our necks, first one way and then another, taking in every inch of the assembly room; others, with round eyes and rounder mouths, gaped in open admiration at the higher classes. Oh, yes; we were green, all right. More than a few of us fell downstairs or else got lost, and we had a feeling all the time that something terrible was going to happen to us. And it did. The annual football rally took place just before our first game with Akron. We gathered enough wood to burn all Akron, but because we could not do that, we burned a dummy representing Akron. The same night we were initiated. We swallowed raw oysters without a murmur and took the barrel-stay as a matter of fact. The “terrible” had happened. It wasn’t long before we had begun to be noticed for our achievements, as well as our blunders. (We who had come one by one had gradually formed a class that began to climb into the world of fame.) By the time we were Sophomores, the greenness had worn off and we had rightfully taken our stand in the school.

In just a few days, work had begun in earnest, and we of the Freshman ('lass entered into our work with much vim and vigor. We soon had the other classes sitting up and taking notice of us, because of our friendliness and our eagerness to do something worth while. On the second Monday we held a business meeting, as is customary, to organize our class. Annette Girardot was elected President; Cora Albers, Vice-President; Claude Starr, Secretary; Reed Frasier, treasurer; and Lillian Gibbs, editor. Miss Swenson was chosen as Sponsor. Various business matters were brought before the class, and, among the first things we did, was to buy our pennant, first having selected our class colore, which are navy blue and orange. We are very proud of the fact that we are represented in all the branches of athletics and take part in all of the activities of the school. The Freshman girls hold the High School championship in basketball. Consequently, the High School team is made up largely of Freshman girls. Also, some of our hoys are on the boys’ team. We had a few men in football. Seven of our mem- bers are in the High School Orchestra. In both Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs, we are represented by a number of our class. So, you see. we take part in all of the activities. We hope to keep going as we have begun, and make Brush High all the better for our having been here. Toil, tell, think, hope, Keep working, ’tis better than sitting aside. And dreaming, and sighing, and waiting the tide, In life’s earnest battle they only prevail, Who daily march forward and never say fail. Mattoie Burrous.

Coach Hartshorn’s “million dollar play” sent Varis over for a touchdown. Three other touchdowns were made before the final whistle. The game was slow, owing to the dust, which was ankle deep, but Brush showed promise of future strength. Everett White, whose interference, line plunges and tackling were excellent, featured for Brush. The line held well and showed plunging ability, with Finney and Stromsoe excelling. The backfield also showed a good offense. For the first game of the season, it was a well-fought contest. The game was played September 30. THE AKRON GAME The first Conference game was played at Akron, October 7. Brush made a touch- down in the first ten minutes of play, and from then on the outcome was never in doubt. The line hit hard, tearing big holes for the man carrying the ball. Everett White, Britt and Gray accounted for five touchdowns, and the former kicked three goals after touchdowns. Akron showed a mediocre defense and were fair only when carrying the ball. Shirley, Akron quarterback, was the only man who could gain consistently through the Crimson and Gold line. Brush made over twice as many first downs as their opponents. The team worked well as a unit, there being no particular individual star. The result was a fairly easy victory for Brush. Score, 25-0. I aye Forty-Seven Then that govern the most male the least noise THE FIRST FORT MORGAN GAME Fort Morgan played at Brush, October 14. Morgan kicked off. Brush brought the ball to the middle of the field. Line plunges and end runs brought them within the 15-yard line. Everett White passed to Winnie, who scored a touchdown. Then Morgan received and carried the ball sixty yards by line-smashes for a touchdown and goal. A few minutes later, Edwards of the invaders received a punt and ran eighty yards for a touchdown. At the end of the first half, the score: Brush 6, Morgan 13. During the last half, Morgan scored again, making the final tally 20 to G. Brush men fought hard, but were unable to defeat the heavy Morganites. THE WRAY GAME Brush was defeated in a clean, hard game at Wray, October 28, by a score of 14 to 3. Both of Wray’s touchdowns were the result of forward passes. Mitchell kicked a field goal from the 25-yard line for Brush’s points. Once Britt carried the ball within one foot of Wray’s goal, but it was the last down and Wray kicked out of danger. Wray could not gain through the Brush line and resorted to her favorite passing game. The team played well together, but the breaks went to the winner (as always), and Brush lost the game. THE YUMA GAME Playing in a cold rain, which turned the field into a sea of mud, Yuma defeated Brush, 6 to 0, at Brush field, November 4. The condition of the field prevented anything but line smashes. After five minutes of playing, the teams could hardly be distinguished in their coating of mud. Yuma carried the ball to the Brush 10-yard line after the kick- off, but lost it on downs, and the first half was scoreless. During the second half, Ishmael of Yuma floundered over for a touchdown. This was the lowest score that Yuma (Conference winner) was held to. THE OTIS GAME Brush won a thrilling game from Otis in the last seconds of play, by a score of G to 0. Neither team had scored. E. White passed to Gray, who went over for a touch- down just before the final whistle. Several of the first string men didn’t go in the game until the last five minutes of play. Parkhill was the best ground-gainer for Brush. Stromsoe did some very effective tackling. Otis’ all-around play was good, but not strong enough to score. The game was played at Brush, November 24. THE SECOND MORGAN GAME Brush ended its football season with a game at Morgan, Thanksgiving day. It was a cold, windy day and fumbles were frequent. Morgan made two touchdowns in the first quarter by intercepting Brush passes. The rest of the half found neither team able to gain consistently, and the score for the first period was: Morgan 13, Brush 0. In the third quarter, Brush carried the ball to the Morgan four-yard line, but lost it on downs. Morgan punted out of danger. The final score was made by Edwards, Morgan halfback, late in the game, and the final score was: Morgan 20, Brush 0.

Morgan won by a score of 28 to 7. Brush fought hard the first part of the game and the score was 10 to 3 at the half. The Morgan forward got into the game dur- ing the last period and turned the game. Copeland made the best showing, making one field goal and three free throws. The Cudworth brothers, of Morgan, were the leading scorers for their team. The game was played in the Morgan gymnasium Saturday, January 0. The first game on the home floor was played with Merino, Wednesday, January 10. Merino was outclassed from the first, and the score stood, Brush 17, Merino 3, at the half. Several substitutes went in for the second half and held Merino safe. The final score was, Brush 25, Merino 10. Copeland, at center, was the star of the evening, though Stromsoe, guarding, also featured. “Cope shot six baskets and one foul. Merino got two field goals and was forced to shoot at long range all the time. The following Friday, Otis played here, and when leaving took the long end of a 10 to 17 score. The game was hotly contested all the way. During the last few minutes of play, Brush was continually shooting at the basket, but could not connect. Chapman, Copeland, White and Stromsoe did good work for the local team. Steel, the Otis forward, practically won the game with his foul shooting. The Shaw brothers, of Otis, also did effective guard- ing. It was a hard game for Otis to win, and equally hard for Brush to lose. The next game was played at Yuma, Conference champion for two years, Friday, January 19. Brush fought gamely, but were beaten, 45-10. Fail was high-point man for Yuma, making seven baskets. Copeland made six of Brush's points. The experienced Yuma men, having played for years together, outclassed but did not outfight the Brush men. Stromsoe showed good guard- ing ability. The Brushites were never in the lead. Brush played at Wray the following evening and the spectators were treated to a battle royal. First one team forged ahead, then the other. The score at the half was, Brush 5, Wray 8. The second half was even harder fought, but Wray had a narrow 16 to 14 lead at the end of the game. Fries, Copeland and White were the stars for the Brush team, while Welker, Brophv and Ansley “did their stuff for Wray. It was the hardest fought game played on the Wray floor, and it was no discredit to the Crimson and Gold team to lose it. Akron played here Friday, January 26. They won out by a 26 to 19 mar- gin, in a game that had the rooters yelling all the time. Chapman played a fine game for the home team and kept Brush in the running with five baskets. Fries played a fine defensive game. For Akron, F. Shirley, guard, was their best man. lie dribbled through and threw several baskets. It was a good, clean game, with very few personals called by the referee. Yuma came down the following evening and snowed us under by a 41 to 9 score. The work of Ivamm, Yuma forward, was easily the feature of the game. lie made ten field goals and three free throws, a total of twenty-three points. Stromsoe, Brush guard, made five of our nine, with one goal and three free throws. Xo alibis to offer. The best team won, that’s all. Maybe next year—but why go into the future? Wray played here the next Friday. Brush got going early and the score was, Brush 10. Wray 6, at the half. Copeland was injured in the second half and taken out. That 16 to 14 score must be a jinx, for Wray came back in the last half and won by that score. Copeland and Parkhill. forwards, got most of our points. Welker was Wray’s best performer in the scoring line, with Brophy a close second. Faf t Fifty-Two To be ( rent is to be misunderstood The next evening, Brush invaded Otis, where they were beaten 33 to 3. Otis may have had the better team, but another factor was a pipe which hung over each basket, making a man who arched his shots, out of luck completely. Otis was accustomed to this and won with ease. Parkhill got our basket and Copeland the foul. Steel was the shining light of the game from the Otis standpoint, scoring most of their points. The last home game of the season was played in the gym Friday, Febru- ary 16. Fort Morgan won, 26 to 5. The game was harder fought than the score shows, especially in the first half. Parkhill got all of our points—a field goal and three free throws. Myers, playing his first full game, showed good guarding ability. Horner, Morgan forward, was high-point man of the contest. The final game of the season was played at Akron, Saturday, February 24. The score was: Akron 30, Brush 15. Copeland was high-point man for Brush: Parkhill and Meyers played well on the defensive. Gibbs and Turpin both showed flashes of form that will make them dangerous next year. The same may be said of Fries, who is already good on the defensive.

We had a few inter-class games and it didn’t take us long to find out that the Freshmen had the best team, and from their class all but one member of the first team were chosen. It rather “got” us, to think we let the Freshmen run over us like they did, and yet we are very glad to know that this team will be with us three more years. We have heard the remark made many times, “What will they be by the time they are Seniors?” Our first game, with Otis, was won by a score of 25-19. The next game was with Akron, January 26. We won this game also, the score the same as that with Otis, 25-19. February 3, we went to Otis. This time our opponents were the victors, for they defeated us, 27-13. February 6, we went out to a suburb of Brush, ten miles west of here, Fort Morgan. We took the small end of the 13-12 score, after a close contest. We are very proud of our team, as we will be in the coming years also, for we expect great things of the girls in the Class of 1926. Pat e Fifty-Four Let every man mind his own business DEBATING The Judge is the only man who can tell you exactly when you are to die Page Fifty-Five Debating in 22-23 Our debating team, coached by Mr. Stevenson, is composed of James Patterson, Har- old Turpin and Virginia Rank. Harold Turpin, our first speaker, is forceful and impressive. He has the personality and enthusiasm of an experienced debater. He is, without a doubt, an unusually finished speaker for a high school student. Virginia Rank is our second speaker. Virginia is an excellent debater. Her speeches are strong and emphatic, carrying force well up to the last word. James Patterson, our third speaker, is a debater of exceptional ability. He has been termed the best among high school students of northeastern Colorado. While James has the fioor, his opponents grow faint, but after he has given his rebuttal, his strong point, his opponents know that nothing they may have said remains intact after such argument. This team also represented us in debating circles last year. The question for debate this year was “Resolved, That the writ of injunction against labor unions should be prohibited.” Our school upheld the negative, and on January 19 defeated the Englewood team. 3 to 0, but on February 9 was defeated by Weldona in a more closely contested debate. ’� (■ Pi fty-Six Think of f onr forefathers! Think of ( our posterit ! The (jirl who knows, she can't sing shows a (food degree of intelligence Pa iff liftf Srit j Society A Review of the Social Activities of the Classes SENIOR The Senior Class was divided into groups to plan entertainments at satis- factory intervals. The first of these groups gave a party at the home of Della Madsen during the Hallowe’en season. In November, Holland Gray announced his marriage to Elinor Cummins, which had taken place in August. AVe held a surprise for the happy couple. Part of the evening was spent at the theater and part playing games at the home of the bride’s parents. Mr. and Mrs. Holland Gray were presented with an electric percolator at the close of the evening. The next group cleverly entertained during the Thanskgiving season at the home of Willie Johnson. Another delightful affair was held on St. Valentine’s Day at the home of Maude Hansen. Then, a St. Patrick’s party at the home of W. A. Stover, but owing to a severe storm, many were unable to attend. However, a pleasant evening was spent by those present and at the close delicious refreshments were served. JUNIOR The first social event for our class was a card party at )pal Martin’s. The evening was spent in various card games and the person having the most marks on his cards was given a box of candy. Bessie Beeman was the winner. Refreshments were served and the rest of the evening was devoted to music. The next party was held at the home of Miss Bleasdale, one Saturday evening in March. The evening was spent playing cards and games, after which dainty refreshments were served. A large number of the class was present and reported a good time. SOPHOMORE Immediately after our Hallowe’en party, we planned our winter enter- tainment. On account of the prevalent warm weather, the ice-skating idea was not fully carried out. However, we did manage to have two ice-skating parties. Then realizing that spring was here to stay, we planned a spring party. It was given at the home of Vera Malchow, and, of course, it snowed. But in spite of that, the green and white decorations and the pink sweet peas which were scattered about gave a charming effect of spring, and so we went away with the spring fever already in our blood. Then it was time for our outdoor parties. So we planned to “hike” on a hayrack to the river and spend all day, but because no hayrack was available, we went in cars. The boys proved to be as good cooks as the girls in frying the beefsteak, and they have promised to share in the cooking of next year’s “feeds.” FRESHMAN Our skating party was attended by about twenty Freshmen. It was held at the Bolinger Lake. The ice was “grand,” and it was a moonlight night, which partially accounts for our good time. AVe left at six o’clock, taking our supper of buns and wieners with us. AA’e came home about nine o’clock.

The guests were received in the reception room, which was cleverly decorated in the Senior Class colors, purple and gold. A few minutes were spent in conversation, then everyone adjourned to the gym- nasium. A delicious five-course dinner was served by the Domestic Science Class. The gymnasium was elaborately decorated in purple and gold. The room was made to represent a country garden. The ceiling was interwoven with stripes of the two colors. Chrysanthemums were used to help carry out tl e color scheme. Each individual table was decorated with a large bouquet. After the banquet, under the guidance of the toastmaster, Mr. Donley, several interesting talks were given by members of the school board, and of the faculty, as well as from the Senior and Junior Classes. There were also some musical numbers, which everyone enjoyed. Then the tables were pushed back and an hour was spent in playing games. Everyone in attendance enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The only thing that brought a touch of sadness to the occasion was the knowledge that the Seniors would not be in Brush High next year. on't une tough language.

We consider ourselves fortunate in having two Glee Clubs, fourteen members in the boys’ and eight- een in the girls’. Both Glee Clubs have had occasion to appear before the public several times during the past year. They entered into the spirit heartily at Christmas time, singing carols at the churches, community tree and visiting the sick. The Orchestra of our High School, having twenty-two members, and led by Miss Jones, is an orchestra of which we all are proud. Our Thursday assembly period is always looked forward to, for at that time the Orchestra plays for us. They practice once a week, and, contrary to most after-school work, this work seems to be a pleasure to the members, which goes to prove that Miss Jones, with her enthusiasm and leadership, is indeed a good instructor. The Orchestra is always in demand wherever it goes, and during the year they have played out of town a number of times. They always add pep to our basketball games by their presence.

S. was held at Gary, Colorado, Decem- ber 30, 1047. As we entered the hall, who should lie there with his brilliant smile to greet us but Tom Piter, who was running a motorcycle trolley between Gary and its suburb, Pinneo. Next in line was Harold Turpin, who told us of his many wonderful orations de- livered from the street corner. By his side was his worthy mate, Emma Brokaw, who, during his soap-box orations, fre quently passed the hat. Next in line, who should we meet but Maude Hansen, who was keeping house for her thriving husband. Ralph Britt. He is delivering laundry for Lee Ching Wong, a native of China, who says that if Ralph will only help to wash the clothes, he will take him into partnership with him. Many of the guests had not yet arrived, so we thought we would take a stroll through the city. We noticed several large circus posters, with the names of Eisenach and Bates on them in large red letters. We inquired about them and found that they were playing in the band of the world-renowned circus, Buryam Daily of Corncob Junction. Looking a little farther, we saw that Susie Bolinger and Verne Thompson were also traveling with this great circus. Susie was declared the woman champion heavyweight wrestler of the world, having just wrested the title from Sling Su Hi. the 450-pound lady of the Orient. Verne has never yet met defeat. For the past ten years he has held the flv-weight championship of the world since he defeated Jack Dempsey in one round. We wandered back to the capitol, where the reunion was being held. (We neglected to tell you that Gary was now the capital of Colorado.) We were about to enter the hall when we saw little Willie Johnson and Blanche Mes- senger. They were driving a very frisky white donkey that must have been middle-aged when the class graduated. We stopped to chat with them and found that they were living happily together on Willie's prosperous drv-land farm of three and a half acres, sixty-seven miles south of this city. AVillie says that if Russian peanuts bring what they should, he will be able to add a half acre to his farm this year. Blanche has succeeded in raising two chickens and hopes some day to own a chicken farm. We turned to go up the steps and met Norma Pfrimmer coming slowly up the walk. Poor Norma, she wasted her life away as a teacher of Chemistry in Woodrow. You would hardly know Virginia Rank. She is running a beauty parlor in dark Africa. She has been very succcessful in using a new cold cream called Shinola, on some of the dark patrons of her shop. We heard beautiful music and saw a crowd gathered around Max Her- singer. who was grinding out the sweet refrain. “Oh. Bessie, Where Art Thou?” on a hand-organ. His little monkey, “Jocko,” was busy collecting The man who has a (food opinion of himself is often a poor judge of human n-ature Paf c Si.rt it- l ire pennies from the crowd. We always knew Max had a wonderful talent for music. We passed into the reception room of the capitol and were met at the door by a large lady of about 298 pounds, whom we did not recognize. She proved to be Christine Sorenson. Christine was running a summer resort in Death Valley. We walked up to a group, and there on the outer edge of it we met Helen Overton. Helen was endeavoring to run a poultry farm. She said she would have made lots of money this year if it hadn't been for Winnie White. He sold her the eggs to set and they all hatched out ducks and all the old hens drowned themselves trying to get the ducks out of the water. Winnie White is delivering groceries for old Si Whiffletree, who runs a store on Barnyard Avenue. As we passed on around the room, we met Lavina Ferguson, who told us that she had had great success in securing the position of instructor in Higher Mathematics at Squirtwater University. Inquiring into her work, we learned that it consisted of instruction in the multiplication tables up to six. We noticed a little, bald-headed man over in a corner all by himself. It was Holland Cray. Right then it occurred to us that that day we had read in the Gary Tribunal of a hair tonic which would, if applied before retiring, make a crop of hair grow before morning, and in reading the label, we noticed the name of .1. Emery as manufacturer of the tonic. In glancing about the room our eyes fell upon James Patterson. Ilis hair is cpiite gray and his back was bent from steady toil. Later we found that he was a cobbler. But the mysteries multiplied. While chatting with Mrs. Everett White, who was Della Madsen, she told us that she and her better half were dwelling on Punkin Center Hill and were trailing right along in the highest society of the cityr there. Then we became quite curious and wanted to know what Esther Hoover and Bessie Rasor were doing to occupy their time. Mrs. White laughed, and looking through her one-eyed glass, said: They are running an Old Maids’ Home on Green Hill Avenue.” She also informed us that Lola Turpin had gained a “crying” position as chief crier of the Fall and Tumble Circus, which would he staged in Gary in two or three weeks. As the hour was growing late, we thought it best to retire, and just as we were leaving the cloak-room, Vera White chanced to run into us. She said she had a private nursery, where she kept all the society folks’ children while they were at the clubs. She went on to say that Thyra Christensen had de- voted her precious time to the “Near East Relief Association” and was at the present time going through the country giving an interesting account of her experiences. The said Class of ’23, before adjournment that evening, decided to have another reunion, possibly in 19(10, providing nothing very disastrous befell any of us before that time should come. S. B. M.
