The sole victory, a ■30-18 succes of College Hi, was so impressive tnat many critics wondered whether Brush's deserved place was at the botto of the standing-, a question t.nat was further stimulated by Brush's practice game victories. The Beetdig er- closed their season on March by setting a fi' e-year scoring record with a total of 57 ooint? agaiAst a scrappy Fleming team. Of the eight first stringers, four are to graduate. They are: Harry Petersen and Harry Beckman, forwards; Harr Schneider, center: and Pete eiark guard. Tho-e returning nent year are Rollie Gray and John Tilling, forvar's; an Lee Painter and Jack McGregor, guards.

BAND HISTORY The 3fush High School Band is an organiz- ation of approximately fcO members., The main objective of this organization is the study of the-bettor t oes of, band li terature and to instil? in the student body a better appreci- ation for good music. The band program for the 1939-1940 school year has be -n rather varied and extensive. It an eared at c11 home football games in parade and concert formation. Out of term trips in- cluded a trio to Fort Morgan with the football team and Fort Collins during Music Week to participate in the parade and massed bend con- cert. This is the first year we have enjoyed the fine new uniforms purchased last soring. A series of six concerts was given during the winter months in conjunction wltn the orchestra. The band, though striar-3y a senool organization, cooperates with civic groups, supporting progrnas for special events such as Armistice Day and Memorial Day.

JUNIOR GIRL RESERVES The Junior Girl Reserves came into being as a separate organization only this year owing to the fact that G. R. had increased to ninety-seven members and had thus become too large to function as one group. After the division was made, with only Freshmen and Sophomores comprising the Junior G. R. and with Miss Cameron remaining as sponsor, the new group elected the following officers: Corinne Gray, president; Miriam White, secretary treasurer; Jean MacNeill, program chairman; and Jeanne Anne Webster, social chairman. The activities of the new' group included a boy-friend party, a skating party, and a kid party. In addition the Junior G. R. gave two food sales in order to raise funds to send one of their own members to summer camp. In several other activities such as charitable w'ork, both groups of the G. R. functioned as a unit.

The Brush Chapter, number 23, was granted a charter on May 10, 1927. Ever since then it has grown in size and improved in its methods until 1940 when it was designated the outstanding chapter in Colorado and received a plaque. In the fall of 1940 this chapter represented Colorado in the national chapter contest, and was given honorable mention. Each member is required to have a farming program of his own either in livestock, poultry, or crops. In 1940 the total investments of all the projects amounted to $7,547.79 and the net profit $1,068.35. This not only gives the boys a chance to earn money, hut it gives them experience in farming. The boys exhibit their animals, poul- try, and grains at fairs, seedshows, etc. Each spring along with their school work they learn to judge livestock, poultry, and grain. There is a team chosen to represent the chapter at the state contest. This last year the chapter had many chapter activities. Some of these were to raise funds, others were for experience such as rabbit drives, chapter projects, seed treating, seed testing, livestock survey, etc., hut no matter how hard they work they have their entertainment such as picture shows, picnics, and their annual summer vacation trip. £ 2 ) F.

Their meetings which are held twice a month are spent in business details and shooting baskets. They have a point system which is state-wide, and the girls who have the most points at the end of the year are awarded an emblem or pin. These points are earned by going hiking, bowling, horse back riding, and many other things that have to do with sports. The Brush Chapter has made money for their club in various ways. They sold hot dogs, candy, and pop at the football games. The kindness they are noted best for is their annual Christmas party for the Knearl School. The officers of the Brush Chapter are President, Louise Wright; Secretary, Mary Elyn Bolinger; Sponsor, Miss Betty Kittle. C :s }
