Richard Paynter Helen Howard Glenn Barney Olive Turpin Treasurer Vice-President President Secretary JUNIORS Almost fifty covered wagons moved slowly toward Brush High School on September 1. 1932, driven by stalwart boys and girls who had reached this landmark after coming through eight years of grade school. They settled temporarily in the Freshman Class, and soon learned that they must have leaders to guide them through the dangers they might incur on their way through school. Two men outstanding for their remarkable leadership qualities. Mr. LaBorne and Mr. Johnson, were chosen as scouts for the caravan of wagons. These pioneers also chose four people of their own rank to guide them: Elmer Kast, president: Olive Turpin, vice-president: Dorothy Dietz, secretary: and James Dryden. treasurer. On their way through the first year, the Freshman Caravan was overpowered by the senior bandits, and forced to gather wood for a celebration before a football game which they played with the Maroon Indians of Morgan the fol- lowing day. In order to pay thanks to the Heavenly Father for bringing them this far in school, two parties were held during the freshman year. Covered Wagons, although moving slowly, do cover ground, and in the space of one year this caravan had found its way into the Sophomore Class. New leaders were chosen who were: Harold Webster, president: Lillian Leb- sock, vice-president; Betty Nichol. secretary: and Huburt Grauel. treasurer. The two scouts elected were Miss Irwin and Mr. Wirt. After three months of traveling, the Sophomore Caravan supplied apples and doughnuts to travelers in the three other caravans. After two years of settling at Brush High School, this group had become real pioneers. They had advanced to the Junior Class which they had been ten years in gaining. The scouts for this year were Miss Irwin and Miss Lyda. Two main events featured the life of these pioneers. The first was a mystery play, The Call of the Banshee,” directed by Miss Irwin. The other was a ban- quet given in honor of the Senior Caravan of Brush High School. At the end of the year the Juniors are prepared to take to the trail once more, their final destination the Senior Class.

Shirley Stoops Sammie Haraoa Rachel Brittell Jane Lund Treasurer President Vice-President Secretary SOPHOMORES A group of eighty-one greenhorns dismounted in front of the Brush corrals on September 5, 1933. Several found they could not ride the wild horses and returned to more quiet civilization. At the beginning of the second season of broncho busting only seventy-two were able to successfully ride the bronchos. Though the horses are harder to ride each season, these determined amateurs hope to come triumphantly through their second year of training and take up the reins of the more advanced riders. These efforts are sure to bring fame and renown to the Class of 1937. Herman Klippert Jack Pettkvs Alia Omlsson Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer President FRESHMEN Seventy-nine freshmen in the little red school-house opened the book called High School, on September 4. The frontispiece was initiation. This was a heart-rending page for the frightened freshmen, but they were brave and soon conquered it. Next they turned to the selection of a sponsor and elected Mr. H. F. Johnson. Thus ends the first chapter: the class of 1938 is now ready for the chapter called Sophomores in the book of “High School.
