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, but it gives them experience in farming. The boys exhibit their animals, poub 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., but no matter how hard they work they have their entertainment such as picture shows, picnics, and their annual summer vacation trip.

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 boyTriend 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 work, both groups of the G. R. functioned as a unit.
