 SAGEBRUSH fe Senior Prophecy “The meeting will please come to order,” said Mr. Corf man, principal of Brush High School. “We will now have the reading of the minutes.” Miss Helen White, secretary, arose and read the minutes. These were approved as usual. “Is there any old business to be brought before the meeting?” All was quiet. At last Mr. Whitaker arose and began speaking. “Mr. Chairman, at the last meeting you asked me to prepare a talk that would interest everyone. I thought and thought and thought. At last 1 had an idea». The only subject that 1 could think of that would be enjoyed by all was a talk about the Class of 27. . At this everyone arose and cheered. “Yes, tell us about the interesting Class of ’27.” Mr. Whitaker addressed the chairman, and said: “This does not come under any direct heading, but—” , “We want to hear about the class of 27,” cried the faculty. “Motion carried said Mr. Corfman, “Mr. Whitaker.” Mr. Whitaker quicklv made his way to the front of the room and began. “It was fifteen years ago that the Class of 27 left B. H. S. That was the saddest day of my life as well as yours. As I hoped, most every one in the class has reached the Mountain of Fame. Lucille of the Class of ’28 and Claude are very happy. They are married and have a little bungalow near Yale. Claude, as you remember, coaches the Yale football team. Lydia Pabst is now in Africa. She is a missionary and is doing very good work. She is sent out by the churches of Brush. Ruth Costello and her husband are living in the Hawaiian Islands. Ernest Dunlap is a professional football player and is taking the place held by Red Grange in 1926. . „ Harold Wetzbarger, the fiery, silver-tongued orator of the Class of ’27 is now in the House of Representatives. Alice Randals and Hazel StumpfT are located on Royale Avenue, Paris. They are the most exclusive dressmakers there. From this class we have three successful movie stars. Doris Witter has so completely outshone Gloria Swanson that Gloria was forced to appear opposite Harold Lloyd. During 1926. Rudolph Valentino died and since that time Ortice Bay has successfully taken his place. The screen welcomed a new arrival, Clara Lorenson, who has made a place that no one can take away. Everyone calls her “America’s Clara.” Gladys Lindburg now resides in Alaska. She owns and operates a sawmill. She has hundreds of men in her employ, and if her trade increases as in the last year, there will be thousands instead of hundreds. Marie Fuller is a famous musician at Oberlin, giving recitals and concerts. Leon Godard and his wife, the former Irene Mitts of the Class of 29, have settled down and run a ranch and hardware store at Midway. Don’t smile. They are making lots of money. Eleanor Randals, a wonderful cornetist, has her selections broadcasted all over the world. Remember, we heard one last week. Myron Green, who has a laboratory in Denver, has recently invented methods by which static may be removed from the radio. Leslie Mortenson has decided to remain a bachelor. He says that there are too many girls in the world to pick out the one you like best. Bertha Madsen and Sarah Anderson are on the Board of Education of the State of Colorado. They are extremely interested in Brush High School and do everything in their power to make it the best in the State. Grace Witter and Virginia Graham are judges in tin Supreme Court. Their decisions are very just and fair, and all men judges admire their wise judgment. Helen Stover has an extensive hairdressing establishment in Florida. Asa Wood holds the position of Governor-General of the Philippines. There have been no internal disturbances since he accepted this position. Kenneth Richard and Marvin White have taken over Rag's establishment. They are progressing and 1 believe they will soon extend their business to Hillrose. Marie Ray has started a photographer’s studio and has put up such good price to the Annual Board that they, the Annual Board, have transferred their trade to her studio. Frances Keener is married. You know she was engaged when she was a Senior. She graduated, then clerked in a store for a while but decided to get married. She is now living in New York City. Wilma Winger, as everyone knows, is the efficient manager of the B. H. S. Cafeteria. Every week corned-beef and cabbage is served for .liggs’ proteges. Evelyn Angel is now a strong suffragette. She has upset the traditional saying that “A woman’s place is in the home,” and she now has presidential aspirations. Torval Mock, husband of Fanny Hale, oil millionairess, devotes his time to golf and Palm Beach reveling in his wife’s money. Verle Hays is chauffeur, chef, butler and nursemaid in the country estate, in New England, of the Reverend Abbott ami his demure wife, Dorothy Pifer.” Out of the audience a man’s voice arose: “I knew even after Lowell was married, Verle couldn't stay away from him.” “Nelson Ferguson is still the most eligible bachelor passing his time in fashionable Newport to the great delight of the debutantes. Harold Parks holds the very responsible position of head waiter at the Ritz Hotel. He secured this position because of his business tact and reliability. Dean Roe is being led a merry chase by his idolized fiance, Esther Wentz. She had just about set the date, when she broke a looking glass. Only seven years to wait now. Harold Staner is now postmaster of the Brush postoffice. The service is excellent: mail deliveries occur every two hours. They say that Harold can certainly handle a place like that. Bernard Stronberg, unlike most of his fellow students, does not seek fame. He is the Superintendent of the Great Western Sugar Company of Brush and receives encouragement and help from his ambitious society wife, formerly Alice Hildreth of the Class of ’29.

Junior Class History We assembled at the Brush Union High School to start our high school career on the 7th day of September, in the year 1924. Everything went off smoothly, and our fear, caused by reports brought home to us by older brothers and sisters, soon vanished. The initiation was held at the river one evening after school. We went to attend the picnic given in our favor by the Seniors, and were rather surprised to be treated in the manner which we were. However, no one was hurt at this frolic and a few were benefited, due to the fact that the river water is very cleansing. We were always up and coming. Wherever the Maroon and Gold was seen, there also could he found our class as a body. We proved ourselves to he excel- lent backers for the athletic teams and by the time school was out we had won the respect of the other classes and were complimented highly by every member of the faculty. Our Sophomore year was much the same as the preceding year had been, with the exception of a few of the boys adapted themselves to the wearing of white collars, and the majority of the girls threw away their hair ribbons and became hold enough to be seen wearing hoy’s rings belonging to various upper classmen. However, we did take it upon ourselves to entertain, which we did by giving a Hallow’een party at the I. O. (). F. Hall. We gave a breakfast one morning in early spring. This breakfast was to find out which girls could cook, and to see which boys were early risers. In our Junior year we were extremely busy, as it was our task to put out the 1927 Sagebrush, besides giving a class play, conducting a carnival and entertaining the Seniors at a banquet. We feel that our class has not only proved to be a credit to the school, but also has set an excellent example for other classes to follow. The Junior class of 1928 has been represented in the following activities: Football, in which R. 11. S. was declared X. E. Colorado Champions in 1925 and 1924; basketball for both boys and girls, in which our girls won the State Championship of 1927; in all track events, including commercial, academic, and field. We have also taken an active part in Band, Glee Club, Pep Band, Operetta, and Mixed Chorus. Hr serves his party best who serves the country best.
