Their chaperon was Coach Louis Dan Telk. They drew up a constitution to be followed and formed an oath. The requirement to make the club is to have earned a letter in one of the fields of athletics in Brush High School. If a person makes a letter and does not join at the time, he must make another one before he can become a pledge. Twice a year new members are pledged. The club’s aims are to promote athletics and school spirit. Parties are held to help further the social life in the school. The officers are: Edward Klippert, president: Dan Kauffman, vice-president: and Sammie Harada, secretary- treas- urer. This year the club gave a big whoopee” carnival. The proceeds were used to buy basketball sweaters, track suits, and to pay old bills. With this carnival, the club not only helped to relieve financial difficulties but provided a good time for the school. THE OATH OF THE B CLUB I do solemnly swear to observe all the rules of the “B Club, and to support athletics of Brush High School to the best of my ability. 1 promise to do all in my power to uphold right, to further clean athletics, and to observe faithfully all training rules as prescribed by the coach. Coach Louis Telk

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Corn-husking time comes and goes each yea. and with it come the Future Farmers of America with their famous corn-husking bee. This organization is affiliated with the national F. F. A which has chapters in all forty-eight states and in Hawaii. The Brush corn-husking bee was held in the agriculture room of the high school and attendance was limited to boys that are either taking or have taken vocational agriculture. The boys elected their own leaders for the corn-husking race and appointed a committee consisting of Mr. Corfman. Mr. Neale, Mr. Johnson, two business men, and two farmers for judges and advisers. Commit- tees were appointed to arrange the meetings for the bees, and to take care of the programs and refreshments. The corn-huskers planned one regular night meeting every month and short business meetings once every week. Kenneth Funk and Morris Danielson, as presidents, directed the activities, with the help of Mr. Johnson, sponsor. One outstanding event during the course of the corn-husking bee was the box supper in conjunction with the Home Economics Club, the precedent for which was set some years ago. While husking the corn, the F. F. A. boys discuss different phases of agricul- ture. take part in social activities, sponsor contests, secure guest speakers, con- duct an annual Father-and-Son banquet, sponsor the Northeastern Colorado live-stock judging contests, and participate in group projects pertaining to agri- culture. Members attend the Western Stock Show in Denver, entertain former agriculture students, and enter teams in state contests.
