One of the first hardships found on the trail was initiation. Girls clad in overalls and men’s worn shoes, their faces covered with beards, and sporting giant-sized bars of Lifebuoy soap struggled side by side with boys costumed in women’s dresses and high heels, with pie tins on strings around their necks. Serving as guides for the 49’ers through the wilderness were Miss Annette Johnson and Mr. Franklin Mercer. Scouts chosen to help lead the train were: Harold Stitt, President; Virginia Lewis, Vice-President; Joyce Christensen, Secretary, Jim Lorensen, Treasur- er; and Jim Allingham, Student Representative. Three of the accomplishments of the pioneers for the first leg of the journey were the presentation of the inter-class play, the Homecoming float, and the bonfire for the Homecoming rally and snake dance. Growing accustomed to the hardships of pioneer life, the Forty-niners returned next year to continue their journey. Mr. Rex Schweers and Mr. Darrell Lindberg successfully guided the pioneers along the trail. The activities for the year included the traditional sophomore hayride, decorating for Baccalaureate and Commencement, winning second place in the Homecoming parade with their float, and surpassing all other competition with the first place inter-class play, “Angela’s Surprise.” Our hard working trail scouts for this year included: Paul McDill, President; Jim Lorensen, Vice-President; Neil McLagan, Secretary; Bud Luethi, Treasurer; and Cecil Lusby Student Representative. The Junior year proved to be the hardest for the pioneers, as they found the wilderness trail becoming increasingly more and more difficult. The wagon train progressed very well and the far- away goal became even nearer under the capable ability of the scouts, who were: Cecil Lusby, Pres- ident; Virginia Lewis, Vice-President; Mary Jane Weber, Secretary; Joyce Christensen, Treasurer; and Emerson Talbott, Student Representative. Mony-making plans included selling hot dogs and cof- fee at the football games, selling magazine subscriptions, and their outstanding presentation of their three-act play, “Running Wild.” On the 29th of April the Forty-niners were hosts to the seniors at the annual banquet. Climaxing the evening, they entertained the entire school at the prom present- ed at the Central Gymnasium and decorated in keeping with the theme, “Rainbow’s End.” The guides for this section of our journey were Miss Eleise Klemme and Mr. Mark Richards. 1949—At last the long awaited goal has been attained, the pioneers have reached the journey’s end. This year the trail was marked with many activities for the Forty-niners. Serving as joint trail scouts for the group were Gerald Richards and Frank Luethi, Presidents; Beulah Wood and Mari- lyn Ackley, Vice-Presidents; Blanche Hoffman and Ruth Nygaard, Secretaries; Mary Jane Weber, Treasurer; and Harold Stitt and Virginia Lewis, Student Representatives. Wilderness guides for the last part of the trail were Miss Hildred Walters and Mr. Franklin Mercer. The accomplishments of the wagon train members this year included first place in the float contest of the Homecoming pa- rade. The class successfully published the traditional annual, introducing the “Forty-niner’s” theme. During the year the pioneers presented two highly rated dramatic productions, the annual Nativity and the Three One-Act Play Festival. They also found time for recreation when they enjoyed a Sneak Day trip to Colorado Springs, Canon City, and the Royal Gorge. Gold and white were select- ed as the class colors, the carnation as the class flower, and the motto chosen was “Tonight we launch, where shall we anchor?” At last the wagon train has reached the promised destination and we, the pioneer Forty-niners, have become The Senior Class o f 19 4 9 (THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY JACK BOXER and A-BAR-S CAFE) Senior Class Officers President Jerry Richard Choir 2; Band 1 2 3 4; Orchestra 1 2 3 4; Class President 4; Dramatics Club 4; Camera Club 12 3, officer 1 2; Fire Squad 4; Nativity; Track 1; Basketball 3; One-Act Play Festival 4; Thespian.

MERCER MISS WALTERS UNDER r V CLASSMEN Zke Class of 1950 Full of spirit, the class of 1950 bounded through the halls of B. H. S. first as freshmen in September, 1946. The class chose Miss Klemme and Mr. Seguine as sponsore. Bud Sorensen was elected president, Harry Tate, vice-president; Bruce McLagan, secretary; Donna Starr, treasurer; and Robert Miller, student representative. The class of 1950 entered a float in the Homecoming parade, presented an inter-class play, “The Life of the Party,” and gave a Sadie Hawkins Dance. When the class of 1950 returned for their second year they were ably assisted by Miss Funk and Mr. Orr and proceeded under the direction of jon Katzenback, president; Robert Miller, vice-president; Ronny Rieb, secretary; Dale Walker, treasurer; and Bud Sorensen, student represent- ative. A prize-winning float was entered in the Homecoming Parade. Highlights of the year were the traditional Sophomore Hayride, a Christ- mas Dance, and decoration for Baccalaureate and Commencement. This year the class of 1950 was divided into two home room groups, 11-x and 11-y. Bud Sorensen presided over 11-x with Harry Tate as vice- president, Dorothy Reichert as secretary, Donna Stan- as treasurer, and Rosemary Stratton as their representative in student council. Ardith An- dersen was elected president of 11-y, with Joy Bresnahan as vice-president, Jackie Hartwig as secretary, Marjorie Dahms as treasurer, and Robert Miller as student representative. The class officers were Pete Hildebrand, president; Marjorie Dahms, vice-president; Dorothy Reichert, secretary; and Bruce McLagan, treasurer. In order to raise money, the class sold pop, coffee, and hot dogs at the football games, and sponsored several dances including the Christmas Dance. As vice-president, Marjorie Dahms was general chairman of the Prom and Banquet. Bud Sorensen served as head of the Prom committee and Shirley Boxer as head of the Banquet committee. The theme “Southern Charm” was chosen, and it was develop- ed into one of the best Proms and Banquets ever given. Highlights of the year were entering a float which won second place in the Homecoming Parade and purchasing our class rings. Miss Taney and Mr. Orr were our sponsors, with Mr. Richards assisting.

CLASS OF 1951 Very determinedly the class of 1951 entered BHS halls and were welcomed by a roaring initiation. This year Miss Taney and Mr. Seguine saw them through as sponsors. Leroy Needens, as president, led them, with the assistance of Charles Hoff, vice-president; Georgia Wetzbarger, sec- retary;; Neva Owens, treasurer; and Bob Scott, student council representative. They gave an interclass play in radio script from which was a big success. Still determined, the class of 1951 returned again to BHS. The traditional Sophomore Hayride was held; they sponsored several dances, and were in charge of the decor- ations for Baccalaureate and Commencement. While ac- complishing all this they were under the leadership of their sponsors, Miss Burkett and Mr. Schweers. The class offi- cers were: Presidents, Bernard Johansen and Leroy Nee- dens; vice-presidents, Joann Bollig and Bob Scott; secre- taries, Betty Mueller and Charles Hoff; treasurers, Mar- garet Adams and Mary Ann Wendt; and student council representatives, Georgia Wetzbarger and Eleanor Koehler.

First of all, class officers were elected. The officers are as follows for both 9-x and 9-y: Presidents, Roger Allen and Kenny Rieb; Vice-Presidents, Mary Ann Ostwald and Jimmy Sauerbreit; Secretaries, Jeanne Jones and Addie Smith; Treasurers, Jerry Capp and Donald Wilcox; Student Council repre- sentatives, Paul Hildebrand and Shirley Schneider. The main activity was making the Freshman float for the Brush Homecoming. The float was dec- orated in maroon and gold crepe paper and had a large gold horseshoe with the words “Good Luck Beetiggers” on it. Two pep club girls and a football boy were standing by the horseshoe. The Freshmen were also responsible for the homecoming bonfire, which turned out wonderfully. The Fresh- men survived the semester tests and for their class motto, flower, and color they chose, “Knowledge comes by study, Wisdom by experience,” carna- tions, and pink and white, respectively.

DUCKVVALL and McLAGAN’S CREAMERY) Senior Class Prophecy Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. You are listening to Brew Beerson, your radio commen- tator, with news and views on the late happenings of the day. A new musical comedy extra vaganz' opened on Broadway last night, entitled “Up to Heaven.” It is my prediction that Producer-director Kenneth Smith has a smash-hit for the second time. The music and lyrics were written by Paul Kastler and George Hall, that famous combination who have so many song hits already behind them. Muriel Thornsby, Smith’s leading lady, was at her best last night with her new leading man, Kenneth Walker. Muriel looked devastatingly lovely in her gowns, which were designed by Marilyn Ackley. Also, in my opinion, Beulah Wood, Ruth Nygaard, Wanda Thomson, and Virginia Lewis are four chorus girls who show unusual talent, and I think they have great futures ahead of them. Now, on to the heavier side of the news. Bud Luethi and Neil McLagan have been sent to Rus- sinski to try to settle the cold war, but because of the below zero weather in Russinski, they say it is impossible. And now a word from our sponsor. “A Dudson is the car for you, Buy one, try one, and you will sigh, A Dudson is the car for you, For you, your wife and kiddies, too.” The Dudson Motor Company is located at 1516 High Street, under the management of Leo Au- gust and Kenneth Bach.” The famous race horse, Ocean Cracker, son of Sea Biscuit, which is owned by John Elliott and managed by Ed Humphrey, is said to be very ill. The well-known veterinarian, Dr. Luther Lusby, thinks he can pull him through. June Walker has just been made the senior partner in the Smith Brothers Cough Drop Com- pany; she is the first woman to hold such a position. Tomorrow, we will hear who is going to get the contract to build a new White House in Wash- ington. It is my prediction that the construction contract will go to that young, ambitious man, Le- Roy Gimbel, and the paint contract to another up and coming young man, Delman Stanley. And now the movie of the week. The movie this week that takes the Brew Beerson award is “Forever Scarlet,” starring the man that the college girls voted they would rather be on a desert island with, Red Stitt. Congratulations, Red! The New York Philharmonic Orchestra, playing at Carnegie Hall next Tuesday, will star a new pianist, a very talented young newcomer, Mary Jane Weber. Best of luck, Miss Weber. All of you over the age of 16 probably remember the Tarzan shows which starred Johnny Weis- miller. G. M. C. movie studios have decided to start a new series of Tarzan pictures with a new muscle man, Ross Atkinson. Ruth Lapp, the Dowers Model, has been seen lately at all the big night spots with many big name stars. Turn the Pagre THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY J. C. PENNEY CO.) Senior Class Prophecy Paul McDill, the coach at Aggies, is down here on vacation from his rigid football training schedule. Attention! ladies — a new television show will start soon, starring that great comedian, Dwight Messer, the BeArrco quartet, Joyce Christensen, Beverly Bretzke, Blanche Hoffman, and Sylvia Wecker, and Mrs. Schookbamn, played by Doris Ann Law. Mrs. Kenneth Makings, formerly Mary Smythe, Mrs. Ray Haller, formerly June Selby, and Mrs. Lee Trout, the former Peggy Moeller, have just published a new recipe book, containing their own recipes. For you young girls, this book is a bargain at any price. And now a bit of news from that great town, Brush Colorado. Jim McCracken has resigned as Principal of Brush High School, after five years, and he is the biggest DeMoto-Blymouth dealer in the U. S. The Ganphear Motor Company, located in Brush is a small branch of Jim’s business. Rachel Vondy has started an Ice Cream Parlor on her ranch south of Woodrow and it is said she has a thriving business. Adolph Bollig recently purchased shares in the Dill Tobacco Company. Emerson Talbott is the new editor of “Strife” magazine. Raymond Blake, the well-known midget-auto dare-devil, has won the Minneapolis speed race for the third time in a row, and the third time is said to be a charm. Lawrence Ely took first prize at the national poultry show at Chicago with his prize hens that he raised on his farm northeast of Brush. Morton Boxer, the multi-millionaire sheep man, has announced that he is starting a sheep show, to run each year in competition with the stock show. It has recently been announced that the new Mr. America of 1960 is Jerry Richards of Brush, Colorado. A new chain of theaters across the country are growing daily under the wise ownership and management of that up and coming young man, Bill Lipps. The All-American football star, Jim Lorens en, is reported giving up football for a theatrical agent desk; of course he only plans to handle big name STARRS.

To be a member of this club you must be in vocational agriculture or have had a year of it. F.F.A. is a nationwide organization and the Brush chapter, in comparison with the best, carries a well lighted torch. Vocational Agriculture teaches its students the modem means of fanning, not only in classrooms but on farming tours, giv- ing them practical experience and enabling them to see the things they have been taught carried out. This year the newly elected officers of the organization were instructed by the out-going offi- cers in their many tasks and proved highly capable. For the past two summers the F.F.A. has camied out a sum- mer trip which has proved very successful. This year, during the summer, there will be a state convention for all members of F.F.A., which will consist of interesting tours, lectures, and plenty of good fishing. The Brush Chapter went to Fort Collins to the state judging meet this year and gained top honors, as they did last year. Officers President . .. Vice-President Secretary ... Treasurer ...

The Y-Teen Club, little sister of the WYCA organization, welcomed eighty girls to membership in September when they held their formal in- itiation. Y-Teen members held short religious services, conducted their bus- iness at their meetings, and then spent the remainder of the time playing charades, square dancing, and were entertained with skits and programs presented by classes and committees. As formerly, the Y-Teens sponsored food sales to raise money to send their two representatives to the Y-Teen conference at Camp Lookout. The girls’ social activities included a Mother-Daughter Tea given in the fall and their annual Sweetheart Dance held in February. Among the many worthwhile projects of the Y-Teens were the send- ing of gifts to the children of a Denver orphanage at Christmas, the dona- tion of baskets of food to needy people at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and the packing of Red Cross boxes to be sent to foreign countries. The Y-Teen Club also sponsored a get-acquainted party for the girls of the community who were to be graduated from the eighth grade and who would enter high school next year.

Throughout the year they have continually tried to better the means of education in this school district. Most people think that being on the school board is an easy job. But when one stops to realize the duties of the school board, it is evident that it is no cinch. The Colorado law states that Directors shall have con- trol of instruction in their respective districts. Therefore the school board must regulate payment of the teachers, determine tuition of non-resident students, enforce the rules and regulations of the state superintendent, and fix the course of study. These and many more are the duties of the School Board. (THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY FIRST NATIONAL BANK and LON’S TEXACO SERVICE) football Hack How—Conoli Orr, Hull, Scott, Cupp. I). Walker Sorcnacn, II.

Brush started the conference play in good form and it looked as though the Diggers were go- ing to wind up on top for a second year, and another championship. The Fort Morgan Maroons play- ed the Diggers on the local gridiron October 15, and the game ended in a 7-7 deadlock. This placed Fort Morgan and Brush in a tie for first place. The Beetdiggers continued with their good play until they met Fort Morgan on the Maroons’ field. The two teams were tied for first and both were undefeated in conference play. This time the Diggers met an improved and much more powerful Fort Morgan eleven. The game ended 20-0 with the Maroons on top. This win put the Maroons in first place and the Diggers finished the season in sec- ond place.

Out of these, the Diggers won three and lost ten. The scores on most of the games were close, making the season more successful than it might seem. The best game of the season was when the Diggers upset the Sterling Tigers to throw the Tigers and Morgan Maroons into a tie for sec- ond place in the conference play. Brush ended up with a tie for fourth place in conference play with College Hi.

The Brush track team started the season with a much smaller squad than in previous years, but des- pite this fact the Diggers are going to give the other teams in the conference some keen % competition. The Diggers are led this year by five returning let- termen. They are: George Hall in the sprints. Neil McLagan and Larry Henry in the high jump. Harold Stitt in the hurdles, and Charles Schafer in the mile. These are the boys who will form the nucleus of the squad and who assisted by the new ones will be strong contenders for the track championship.
