(Juniors -I'm Beginning to See the Light In September 1942, seventy-six freshmen started to B. H. S. Yes! even prepared for Initiation. Our greatest achievement for this year was to pass. Our sponsors for this year were Miss Springstead and Mr. Clark. The sophomore year we lost a number of students and had only sixty-four. The achievement for this year was to win the inter- class contest for the best assembly program presented. Our sponsors were Mrs. AUdredge and Mr. Schwecrs. This year we are juniors and expect to achieve even more than in the years before. Our class play entitled “Wild Ginger. was presented April the fifth at the Central School Auditorium. It featured Mary Gertrude Robertson ns Ginger ard Robert Gill as her ne’er-do-well father. The plot was concerned with the surmounting of circumstances by a poor, little girl of Squattcrtown. The traditional Junior-Senior banquet was given the eleventh at 6:30 p. m. at the Masonic Temple. The ba-nquet was centered around the theme Stairway to the Stars.” Our speaker was Mr. Mercer, the science teacher at Brush High School. After the banquet many attended the Prom in the Central School Gymnasium, which was also decorated following the theme of the banquet. This year the Juniors gave, as their inter-class assembly program, a play entitled, “The Midnight Ghost.” This program presented December the eighth, was the first of this kind to be given this year. As yet the contest is undecided, but we are rely‘5g on the char- acter acting of Betty Lou George to help us take first place again. We are very lucky in again having for our sponsors two teachers whom we have had before, Mrs. Alldredge and Mr. O’ark. This year, even as before, we have lost many of our students, ard we now have a very small enrollment of forty-eight students. Next year even more will be gone, but we shall carry on and become “THE CLASS OF ’46.” President---------------_------------------------------Lorenz lessen Vice President----------------------------� ----------Robert Hanson Treasurer -----------------------------------------Betty Lou George Secretary----------------------------------------------Helen Kemp Student Representative_________________________________Mildred Stitt Sponsors---------------------------------Mrs. Alldredge and Mr. Clark 16 Back Row: B Chr utensen.

S'lonor —My Ideal There are two National Honorary Societies in Brush High: the Junior Society for FTeshmen and Sophomores, and the Senior Society for Juniors and Seniors. The members of both are chosen after careful consideration by the teachers, who grade the students on such characteristics as scholarship, leadership, character, school citizenship, and service. The initiation is held at the end of each school year and to the new members it is quite an honor. Although the societies have not been too active in the past, they are hoping for new plans for an active year from the two sponsors; Mrs. Atkinson, the Senior Sponsor, and Mr Schweers, the Junior Sponsor.

They believe in cooperation between pupils and teachers in solving common problems. To achieve this purpose the student council was formed where the students could express their suggestions and opinions. The council members were students of high scholastic standing who gave considerable thought to the duties of their office to which they were elected. They realised the responsibilities which were equal or greater than the honor and privileges of the office. Among the many activities of the student council this year were: the drafting of an amendment to the constitution providing for the better handling of athletic funds, directing school campaigns, student elections, scholarship and attendance improvements, promotion of better manners and conduct, safety activities, lost and found facilities, student participation through the student voice box and other similar activities of general interest and value to the school. .C ikk.

A stunt which was well received this year was presented during the half of the Fort Morgan-Brush game. Following a short drill formation, the squad formed a “V. The girls were carrying red. white, and blue megaphones. At a signal air raid wardens rushed in and announced a black-out. When the lights were turned on again, the girls were seated and a T was formed by the megaphones. Because of war restrictions the Pep Club uniform this year has consisted of a maroon skirt and a white blouse. It is our en- deavor, however, to Increase our fund for the purchase of sweaters after the final victory is won.

The fire drills are held usually once a month. Different ideas have been put forth in managing the doors, stairs and fire cacaoes 8mud e pots burning, stairways blocked, doors locked, during the time of drills so the students will have some idea what vo ao ii me sc things occur during a fire.

Some of the events which took place this year are as follows: During hunting sason there was a contest held within the club. The club was divided into two teams. The team bringing in the least game gave a dinner for the winners. The chapter attended the state convention in January, which was held in Denver. Also during this time the boys attended the Stock Show. The Brush Chapter is fortunate in having three district officers: Bob Gill, President; Bob Christensen, Sentinel; and Mr. Clark, Advisor. The Chapter raised an acre and one-half of hybrid corn. The boys carried out the entire work. The Annual Parent and Son banquet will be held April 26.
