HOMECOMING Cheerleaders lead Pep Club in rally at bonfire With sounds of the rythmic drum, a clashing of musical tones, and the shuffle of marching feet, the 1957 Homecoming ceremonies be- gan as the Homecoming parade wound its way down Clayton Street from the high school. Leading the parade was the high school band with the twirlers in the lead. The football team immediately followed. Next in line were the queen candidates. Behind them was the Pep Club, march- ing in uniform. At the end, was the grade school band. Upon reaching the business part of town, a large circle was formed and the streets echoed with cheers. A skit was then presented by the Dramatics Club. During half-time ceremonies of the Homecoming game between College High and Brush, Carol Sandoz was crowned Homecoming queen by Col- lege High football Captain. Miss Sandoz was crowned at the after-game Homecoming dance by Peter Wohlauer, Digger football cap- tain. She was attended by Donna Dan- ielsen, Evelyn Hall, Joy Lowry, Doris Stitt and Judy Watrous. The Homecoming prize winning float entered by the senior class and followed by the junior float. Twirlers lead band down Main Wohlauer carrying the ball in the homecoming game. College High football captain, Sam Torres, crowns the Homecoming Queen at half-time. Herb chauffeurs queen, C. Sandoz, and attendants, J. Lowry, D. Stitt, D. Danielsen, J. Watrous and E. Hall.

SWEETHEART DANCE Mr. Digger Evelyn Hall, head cheerleader, crowned John Smith Mr. Beetdigger at the annual Sweetheart Dance, traditionally sponsored by the Pep Club. Mr. Beetdigger was elected by the Pep Club on the qualifications of athletic participation, good sportsmanship, and general character. The crown for Mr. Beet- digger was made by Ellen Hoxworth, Judy Scheideman, Carol Bott, Kay Martens, and Annetta Jiter, chairman. Gold foil was used for the crown and hearts covered with red glitter were placed at intervals around it. Donna Baird, chairman of the ticket committee made the tickets and her committee, Judy Scheide- man, Janet Wilson, Barbara Skinner, Shirley Hunt sold them at $1.25 per couple. A dance is not complete without decorations. Thus the decorating committee, Pat Parrish, Judy Staby. Alyce Kruger, Peggy Van Dyke, and their chairman Carollyn Woffard, with the help of the total Pep Club, put up the decorations. Punch and cookies were served as refresh- ments. These were furnished by the refresh- ment committee, Ellen Hoxworth, Kay Martens, Mary Jane Ruggles, Barbara Chandler, Jean Fair- banks, Annetta Jiter, Bonnie Cox, Sharon Lee. Frances Fries, Roberta Trotter, and Barbara Skinner. The mother’s council were chaperones.

Lafayette was victim of a hustling BHS squad in the first league game 38-20. Homecoming was somewhat damp- ened in spirit by a 13-7 triumph going to College Hi. Showing a great deal of determination, the Diggers upset a favored Ft. Lupton team 14-13. How- ever, Conference Champion team, Windsor, elimi- nated their chances by means of a 25-18 defeat. The end came with Eaton taking advantage of a men- tally unprepared Digger eleven by a score of 61- 13. Brush finished with a two wins and three losses Conference record. Having tied Bear Creek in a mid- season game 19-19, the over-all picture was 3-5-1. In pre-season elections, Peter Wohlauer, Senior fullback, was chosen captain of the team.

Some played but didn't earn enough quarters in most cases to letter. Other mem- bers out with football injuries and not shown here are Harry Parkhill, Larry Mercer, and Billy Giauque. John Smith, fleet Brush end, goes for a gain after receiving a pass at Ft. Lupton. Gang tackling is evident as Morman (74), Smith (84), and Hoffman (82) defend for no gain.

Mr. Pivic is a graduate of Colo- rado State University at Ft. Col- lins and was captain of the bas- ketball team during his senior year, in which they were confer- ence champs in the Skyline, and journeyed to the AAU tournaments. Lettermen returning to this year's squad to give it a good overall height and a fine shooting depart- ment were four seniors, including Dan Morman, forward, Larry Schultz, guard, John Smith, co- captain of the team, playing for- ward, and Butch Wilson, captain of the squad, at guard. Other mem- bers of this year’s team were, Harry Parkhill, a junior guard, Don Schultz, a junior center, and Earl Teter, a junior center. Sophomores on the team were Jerry Kolman, Ron Morhlang, Tim Lally, and Bruce Wahlert. Gary Hoffmann, a junior, and Pete Wohlauer, a senior, were out of action most of the season with leg injuries. Pivic's starting five were Wilson, Smith, Morman, L. Schultz and Teter. Conference champions were determined by the best record held after playing a round robin in the six member conference. The Tri- Valley then entered this team into the state tournament held in Den- ver in March. B Team. Third row: B. Giauque, J. Schippert, R. Anderson, B. Lindell. Second row: A. Hoff, J. Keener, B.

ORCHESTRA During the '57-'58 year, the BHS music department included 58 choir members, 58 band members, 17 dance band members, and 47 orchestra members. The orchestra and band enrollment was the largest recorded thus far. The schedule for the music department was: January 20, choir sang for Nativity, winter concert; March 10, midwinter concert, and May 19, spring concert. The orchestra played for the Fall Play and the Junior Class Play. During the foot- ball and basketball half-times, the band played several num- bers. Members of the BHS Band and the twirlers traveled to Boulder on September 30 for Band Day and were rated superior. Doris Stitt traveled to Boulder February 14, for All-State Or- chestra and was the head twirler this year. Barbara Skinner was the drum majorette. The dance band is a new addition to the group. It began noon hour practice in November and performed for the thirty- first anniversary of the American Legion. Occasionally they played for noon recreation entertainment. Instruments that have been added to the department include four French Horns, one Bassoon, and a Cello. Mr. Hurrell, head of the music department, directs orchestra. mM D. Adams, H. Adams, M.

A mystery-comedy with twelve characters, it was chosen to be given instead of the usual three one-act plays because of the smaller size of the dramatics class this year. The climax in the play came when Miss Parsons, the jewel thief, surprised guests at the ” House - in -the- Hoi low.

Sponsored by BROWN'S GAS AND ELECTRIC Coach and team celebrate a combined effort victory. I Carollyn Wofford does her part for the team. The buzzer sounded and the score showed the Diggers out in front, 50-49. Pandemonium reigned as second half tension broke to the great relief of Brush fans and especially the Pep Club of BHS. In a game with Eaton, Brush, a heavily favored team, started ac- tion quickly, and the game began well under control. However, through various mis- chances and general laxity, point difference in the last minutes of play was slight. With less than a minute and a half remaining the score stood, Eaton 49 - Brush 48. Soon after, a reversal was shown on the score- board as the Brush five went ahead by the score of 50-49. Time still remained for Eaton to score, but their attempts failed, and Brush had won their 18th con- secutive league victory, and the 6th conference game of the season. As tension mounts, Carol Cox shows strain. A bad situation brings signs of disapproval from D. Danielson and J. Martinez. Julia Rocha and Carolyn Privette take out time to relax. Cheerleader Shirley Hunt gives vocal assistance. PEP ASSEMBLY Round 'n round we go! Cheerleaders lead student body at pep assemblies. Nor really, girls! Skill and pep are main requirements to be cheerleader. Teachers and students participate in assemblies. To promote school spirit, and to help back the team, Pep assemblies were held before all conference games. Lusty yells by the pep club, a comical bit or two in a skit, and a rousing note by the pep band were the essentials. Reactions varied, as shown by the photographers. Mr. Hurrell directs pep band for all pep as- semblies and home games. (Racing forms?) Brass section blasts out! Sliphorn experts build volume of the band. (Band adds zip I) Loyalty brings all BHS fans to their feet at beginning and end of games. Most of the stu- dents take an active part in the cheering.
