Results showed: General Descrip- tion: Light green, legs bare, ears dirty, and petticoats missing. Ac- complishments: ? ? Eligibility: Not eligible—too young.

Dedicated to Nelda Baughman: No girl buries her nose so deeply in a book that she can't get at it to powder it. 14- -It must have been the dark of the moon. The greatest part of the Uni- verse trembles and quaked while a few stars shone on undaunted at the news spread by the first report cards. tr A 10— Sterling rally. Yellin' in the rain, Just yellin’ in the rain, We’re happy again, What a glorious feelin’ We’re on our way to win Thru thick and thin. We’re yellin’, just yellin’ in the rain. 11— -Thrills! We twisted the Sterling Tiger’s tail to the tune of a 6 to 7 victory. 18—On this day the God of War, Mars, did not smile upon our Beetdiggers. Although the football stars outplayed the Morgan team, we lost to them by one touchdown. 24— Freshman Radio Program. Ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience, we are very glad to announce that the Freshmen have learned the first three letters of the alphabet, A. B. C. 25— It took the combined efforts of stu- dents, principal, coach, and team to win the second football game from Sterling. The score was finally de- cided. 29—-Brush was given honorable mention in the “Sterling Advocate”—if you don’t care what you say. Although the heavy end of the score was ours, Ssterling still felt that the victory should have been theirs. ia ?

Christmas was only twenty- four days away. 9—The Seniors sponsored a program in which some of the citizens of Brush entertained the high school with sev- eral musical numbers.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL SEASON 1930 Although girls’ basketball has been discontinued in many schools, with the constent of school authorities Brush girls started practicing and secured wildcat games. Miss Eriksen sponsored the team. By playing Sedgwick at Sterling March 11, and winning by a score 28 to 11, Brush won Northeastern Colorado Championship. Then the girls played Berthoud on March 21. winning the game by a score of 65 to 29, thus making them Northern Champions. On the evening of March 29. the first state championship game ever played in Brush took place against Flagler at the Central School Gymnasium. Although the girls made a desperate fight, they were defeated by a score of 33 to 24. This made Flagler State Champions. The Brush girls trained and practiced faithfully and well deserved the success they achieved. —Mildred Hildreth Page thirty FEBRUARY I may not be dressed in Crinolines Or pantalette—but this I know: I’m just as fond of Valentines As any girls of long ago. -Home Economics’ Style Show.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Future Farmers’ Charter was received early in the school year, and the local Agricultural Club became Chapter number twenty-seven of that organization. Our local constitution was drawn up by a committee appointed by the president of the club. It provided for six honorary members, which include the superintendent, prin- cipal, and agricultural teacher of Brush High School, and three other members to be elected each year. This year, the club selected Mr. Reed. Dr. C. P. Lamb, and L. T. Winger. This year the F. F. A. sponsored several activities. The first was sending a live stock judging team to the American Royal Live Stock Show at Kansas City. We were fortunate enough to get second place in this contest, as well as second in the meat identification contest. Alvin Steflfensen was the high individual in the live stock con- test, and Louis Norman was high individual in the meat contest. The other boys making the trip were Fay Paxton, Holger Gade, and John Vancil. Several parties were held throughout the year, as well as attending the Stock Show, ar.d the annual initiation. The club sponsored the N. E. Colorado judging con- test, and we were fortunate enough to place first in poultry, and first in live stock judging. Our judging team placed second in the sweepstakes at the state judging contests, and Louis Norman placed first in the poultry judging contest. In live stock judging we placed third, and were represented by Vernon Vancil, Harry Bolinger, and Cliff Winger. Vernon was the high man of the contest. Hubert Rasmussen, and John Vancil judged grain, and potatoes, and placed fifth in the potato contest, but failed to place in grains. Hubert also won the Alpha Zeta essay contest, which is sponsored by the Colorado Agricultural College. We feel it has been a very successful club year, and we hope to accomplish even more next year.

Our aim in compiling this little “Book of Memories” has been to gather together all the faces of our Brush High School Faculty, School Board, and Student Body into as attractive a volume as means and time would permit. We shall be very happy if these pages should bring pleasant memories to those who peruse, and should they help to keep alive a feeling of love and loyalty in the hearts of the children of “Old Brush High we shall have ac- complished our aim. The Stall thanks all members of the Student Body and Faculty most sincerely for the spirit of helpfulness shown throughout the year. Frank Sampson Editor “The Sagebrush Page thirty-seven The National Athletic Scholarship Society of Secondary Schools ☆ tr School administrators throughout the coun- try have worked faithfully and long to crystallize into one organization the efforts of many to at once reward and encourage the thousands of boys and young men who carry their school colors into athletic events of all kinds. Such earnest endeavor was finally rewarded in the formation of a society, not at all prohibi- tive in its requirements and yet of such nature as to make membership in the society one to be highly desired. NAME AND PURPOSE Section I. The name of this society shall be the National Athletic Scholarship Society of Secondary Schools. Section II. The purpose of this society shall be to foster high scholarship among boy athletics, to stimulate a desire for balance training and to develop more outstanding leaders in the Second- ary Schools of the U. S. MEMBERSHIP Section I. Eligibility to membership in this society shall be limited to those boys whose aver- age in their school work for three consecutive semesters is equal to or higher than the general average of the school. Egon Hansen, ’31 and Hubert Rasmussen, ’30 were admitted into the society in 1929. So far in the 1929- 30 school year no one has been elected. Clarence Harness is now eligible. When the track season is over, several more are expected to qualify. THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society of Secondary Schools was granted to the Brush High Schools on the twenty-seventh day of October, nineteen hun- dred and twenty-four. The purpose of this organization shall be to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of Amer- ican secondary schools. The Constitution of this national organiza- tion recognizes four cardinal objectives as funda- mental in all educational practice: Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service. To exalt these objectives and hold them ever before the school as goals toward which all should strive, f1 is the purpose of this society. No selections have been made as yet this year, but no doubt several will be chosen before graduation.
