Class officers for the school year 1957-1958 were president, Bill Giauque; vice- president, Bill Smith; secretary, Barbara Skinner; and treasurer, Ron Herbst. The sponsor of this freshman class, which numbered 75, was Miss Walters and Mr. Schreiner. At this time the class of '61 held to the lowest wrung on the ladder of es- teem. Respect of upper classmen was one of the important duties of the freshmen. Another duty was to build the bonfire for homecoming. Brush lost the homecoming game but the bonfire surpassed all B. H. S. bonfires from 1955 to the present date. Sophomore officers were Clive Jones, president; Bill Osborn, vice-president; Chuck Maupin, secre- tary; and Robert Lindell, treasurer. Bill Scott's Ves- pa took second place in the Homecoming parade with Bill Scott at the throttle. Beginning the junior year, juniors elected Clive Jones as president, Renee Blessing as secretary, Bill Giauque as vice-president, and Ronnie Herbst as treasurer. The juniors continually tried to raise money for the junior-senior prom. Successful rev- enue raising projects were the football concession stand, a bake sale, a dance, and the junior class play. The class float again took second place in v tl;e Homecoming parade. The only set back of the year was the vandalizing of the concession stand. Senior class officers were president, Bob Lindell, vice-president, Bill Giauque; secretary, Barbara Skinner; and treasurer, Linda Graves. Class colors were blue and silver. Escorts for graduation were Mary Dahms, Carol Mercer, Dennis Loose, and A. C. Lusby. Elected to serve as ushers were Kay As- heim, Marcia Davis, Laurie Harbert, Janie Hartwig, Janet Lebsock, Don Gabriel, Mark Kjeldgaard, Da- vid Olson, Ron Stoops, and John Watrous.

MODEL AIRPLANE CLUB Furthers Interest in Aviation Model Airplane Club for 1961 has decreased from about 30 members last year to about 10 members for this year. Mr. Mercer says even though it is smaller, he thinks it will be more successful than ever before because the boys who are in the club this year are the ones who are really interested in model planes. The club's purpose is to stimulate interest in avia- tion. This is done by constructing, building, and flying model planes. The club meets every Tuesday and spends most of the noon hour flying and discussing model planes. Paul Staby launches his own free flight plane from the fire escape. These free flights are capable of flying great distances, it depends on the amount of fuel they can carry. Mark Kastler has started a new hobby to enable him to retrieve his plane in case something goes wrong. SAFETY CLUB Supervises Drills Kneeling members of Safety Club are, from left to right: Pat James, Larry Evans, Bud Morse.

A. C. Lusby was re-elected presi- dent, John Watrous was made vice-president; Mary Dahms, secretary; and Karen Koehler, treasurer. The junior's main problem, as in preceding years, was the making of money. The main source of revenue this year was football concessions, basketball programs, candy selling, and bake sales. The object of all this money making was the Junior-Senior Prom. The juniors chose the theme of Fascination, and the decorations were carried out in Japanese style. The prom is the highlight of the year for the junior class. This year's Homecoming float prize went to the senior class, thus cutting off the Class of 62's wish of winning the prize three straight years. The junior’s had another fine float, however, and obtained a second prize.

Walter Head coach LeeRoy Needens completed his second year at BHS by guiding the Beetdiggers to a 17 won-4 lost record and a second place finish in the State Tournament at Den- ver. In addition to this, the Beetdiggers were first in the conference standing with a 9 won-1 lost record, and they won the District Tournament in Greeley by defeating Fort Lupton and Windsor in their two games. The Diggers also de- feated last year's state champions, Akron, twice. The team will lose only one member of its starting squad via graduation. He is all-stater Bill Giauque. Dick An- derson, Blair Gay, Rich Gilliland, and Howard Sharp also played their last year for BHS. This year's leading Giauque scores two against Akron scorers Bob Smith and Ron Stoops, as well as the other two starters, John Watrous and Mark Kjeldgaard, will be back again next year. All of this, as well as a fine B squad, gives every indication that the Beetdiggers will again be a class A” power for the 1961-62 season. S.

BRUSH DOWNS AKRON IN SEMI-FINALS Tense Diggers make initial entrance before the Akron game. After winning easily on Thursday, the Beetdiggers had their hands full when they met the Akron Ramblers in the semi-final game. The captions on this page represent the pre-game warmups and the opening tip-off. Pre-game warmups set anxious stage for underdog Diggers. Starting five hustle out to begin ball game. Bob Smith (41) shakes Jack Lintz's hand for the last time and the ball game is on. Watrous (32), Giauque (25), Kjeldgaard (34), and Stoops (35), await tipoff. Lintz, 6'8 , tallest play- er in the Tournament, along with Uhlenhopp, 6'5 , set the pace later on in the game. I Smith shows perfect form as he drives around Ronnie Uhlenhopp (51) for two of his 23 total points. Blair Gay shows the power of a substitute as he hits a jump shot for two more Digger points. Smith hooks right handed for two points as Watrous comes in to rebound, just in case. Ron Stoops shoots a free throw as Dick Gray (5) gives Watrous the eye. Mark Kjeldgaard (34) attempts a lay-in, only to find Lintz in his way, and has to pass off. With the strenuous pace set in the game, Coach Needens decides to call time out and talk over the defense to use against the Giants. Brush and Akron were evenly matched in the opening Brush and Akron were evenly matched in the opening period of play, as they matched basket for basket and free throw for free throw. Pictures on this page were taken in the first and second quarters of play. The game was tied at the conclusion of the first period, 17-17. Akron played doggedly in the second stanza and held a 39-35 half-time lead. Watrous scores to give the Diggers life in the second period. At right, Bill Giauque, Digger team captain, lays the ball up for two more points. Bill stole the ball from the Ramblers numerous times in the ball game, and enabled the Diggers to stay in contention.
