Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1965 volume:

THE YEARBOOK STAFF OF BRUSH HIGH SCHOOL, BRUSH, COLORADO PRESENTS SAGEBRUSH 65 TABLE OF CONTENTS WE ACKNOWLEDGE Almost a quarter century of selfless community and school service should not be allowed to pass without some recognition. Therefore we would like to take this opportunity to call attention to Mr. Raymond Fries who, for the past twenty-four consecutive years, donated his time and energy to the schools of Brush as member of the Board of Education. Editors and Staff, 1965 Sagebrush To a Friend of Brush Schools: Few people are given the responsibility and the opportunity to serve their schools and their community for as long a time and in as important a manner as has been given to Raymond Fries. For 24 years he has held at various times each office on the local Board of Education. He also served as chairman of the County School Planning Committee for two years. I am sure that all students, their par- ents as well as the present and past mem- bers of the faculty join with me in saying thanks for a job very well done. 3 — •------- - - K We had some snow but not enough to get us out of school. Wednesday, April 14, BHS students and faculty chose four of the 15 candidates to head Student Council next year. Elected were Connie Jones as secretary, Mike Stimson as business manager, George Sears as vice-president, and Tom Harbert as president. This year the Pep Club’s annual Sweetheart Dance featured the theme Three Coins in a Fountain. Pep Club members elected Marlin Amsberry as Mr. Beetdigger, and his attendants were Larry Skinner and Dean Giauque. Sponsored by the Class of '66, this year's Prom was decorated with the theme Blue Hawaii. Junior Class President Tom Harbert crowned Shari Uhlenhopp as Prom Queen. Crowned as Shari's at- tendants were senior, Merrie Wankelman and junior, Pat Lebsock. Students took to the lawn early in the spring. Student Council members hand out ballots for the student body election. Senior X teammates work together in an unsuccessful attempt to beat the Junior V team on Digger Day. ACTIVITIES FILL 64- 65 SCHOOL YEAR The KLZ men covered the Diggers’ State Tournament games for their documentary on Brush. The documentary was shown on Monday night, March 15. Climaxing the football season were the Homecoming activities. On the night before the game the annual snake dance, pep assembly, and bonfire were held. The seniors took top honors with their float in the Homecom- ing parade. On the night of October 2, Brush lost its Homecoming game to the Yuma Indians. Carol Hergen- reter was crowned Homecoming Queen and was attended by Shari Uhlenhopp, Jean Watrous, and Ruth Bostrom. The Digger basketball players came through the season by winning all their games except their second encounter with Yuma, which they dropped 55-49. In the AA State Basketball Tournament, the Diggers defeated Glenwood Springs, Salida, and Highland to bring home the championship trophy. Larry Skinner crowns Carol Hergenreter at the Homecom- ing game. Junior girls dance at Sweetheart Dance. Prom Queen and attendants start spotlight dance after crowning ceremony. For the first time, Stu- dent Council’s annual Christmas assembly was a program of student talent performances. In addition to several instrumental mu- sic presentations, Mr. Woolley's choir class sang Christmas songs. Also, the seniors gave the annual nativity on December 17. On May 17, BHS's first Digger Day, each class en- tered two teams in both the volleyball and softball tour- naments. Junior teams placed first in both events, but later lost their volley- ball title to the faculty team. Jane Mitchell helps with Christmas decorations. Nineteen members of the Journalism Staff divided their time between publishing the newspaper and pub- lishing the yearbook. Under the editing of Cynthia von Riesen, fifty pages of SAGEBRUSH REPORTER were sent to press during the school year. The yearbook, which consisted of 136 pages, was headed by George Sears. In addition to the regular activities of the staff, eleven students of journalism traveled to Colorado State University to attend J-Days, a news writing, news edit- ing, and yearbook layout workshop. Mr. Thomas Woolley was the advisor and other edi- tors included: Bonnie Herrmann, copy editor and Merrie Wankelman and Curtis Clark, sports editors. Cynthia von Riesen, editor, checks copy for the Sagebrush Reporter. Yearbook pages start out on the drawing board, and Kathy Karpe is shown planning those assigned to her. George Sears checks year- book pages for possible errors. J-STAFF RECORDS NEWS, MEMORIES Lack of room proved to be the main problem this year, and many students found that unless they were quick to dash to the few available seats, they were left standing. Next year the staff is moving into larger quarters. At left, Linda Schilling finds that typing is a needed skill for journalism students. p ADMINISTRATION «25 At the March 30 School Board election the following members were chosen. Left to right they are: Dean Christensen, John Hallahan, A1 Giauque, trustees; John Lindell, president; George White, trustee; Robert Wagers, treasurer; and Don Mitchell, vice-president. MARCH 30 ELECTIONS SET SCHOOL BOARD FOR NEW RE-2 DISTRICT Position of secretary was held by Mrs. Grace Jeffers. Raymond Fries, who served on the Board for 25 years, retired this year. E. W. THOMSON CHOSEN BY SCHOOL BOARD TO LAUNCH NEW DISTRICT Prior to his career as superintendent of Brush High School, Mr. E. W. Thomson started on his ladder of success when he received his diploma from Appleton City High School in Missouri. After attending Southwestern Teacher's College in Springfield, Missouri, he moved to Boulder, Colora- do, where he finished summer school to receive his Master of Arts Degree. Mr. Thomson taught at Ignacio, Colorado, before moving to Brush. Here he was appointed as principal of Central School. During the depression he held the position of principal and also taught eighth grade math. Mr. Thomson was principal of Central for four years. When Mr. Thomson is not occupied with our welfare he enjoys his spare time working with his ham radio or photography. TO THE GRADUATES OF 1965 The question for all the graduates to settle for themselves is not what they would do if they had the means, time, influence of other advantages; the question is, what will you do with the abilities you have? The road to success is not a smooth way over which someone is going to carry you, but usually is a rugged path filled with many obstacles. I would not wish it otherwise, but hope you have all the desire and determination that is necessary for each of you to be a success. For the past 11 years Mr. Thomas Lally has dedicated himself as principal of Brush High School. Prior to this he was a teacher, coach, and administrator for three years. Mr. Lally moved to Brush in the school year of 51-52 from La Veta, Colorado. Mr. Thomas Lally completed his secondary education at Central High School in Pueblo, Colorado. He then attended the University of Southern California where he received his Master's Degree in education. After completing college Mr. Lally taught math, and coached basketball and baseball in Brush. He then assumed the position of Princi- pal. He has been principal at BHS for 11 years and enjoys reading, math, motorcycle riding, golf, and parachute jumping. MR. LALLY LEADS FACULTY Mr. Lally confers with Mrs. Jane Van Dyke, Counselor, on a student body problem. 10 ACADEMICS Victor Garber makes use of extra study time. B.H.S.

Below, various couples at the Prom dance to music by the Meteors. f - L 1 MU Above, Shirley Gibson and Dean Giauque com- ment on refresh- ments furnished by the Mothers Council. 14 Coaches and players hold council at State Tournament. Pep Club girls show varied expressions during State playoffs. Patty Hawks and Mama Toft dem- onstrate a first aid technique in speech class. Linda Christensen, Mrs. VanDyke's office girl, as- sists her in her clerical work. The BHS counseling program, headed by Mrs. Jane VanDyke, assists students in their present school prob- lems, scheduling, further education, and maintains a complete file on ca- reer opportunities. Students await counseling in guidance office. SPEECH CLASS IMPROVES CONFIDENCE Pantomime plays an important role in speech. Mama Toft pantomimes the threading of a needle. Students listen at- tentively as Jean Watrous shows how to eat spaghetti. Speech entered its second year at BHS this year. The members of the class were required to give speeches of va- rious types along with readings and panto- mimes. During the month of April they were required to prepare and deliver a campaign speech for one of the student council nomi- nees. Mr. Tom Woolley instructed this class. 17 Ellen Andersen delivers a convincing speech in class. ENGLISH COVERS Mrs. Queen explains the day's vocabulary assign- ment to one of her Junior English classes. Fifth period Sophomore English students listen at- tentively as Mr. Schantz reads an article from the newspaper. 18 BROAD AREA Several freshmen in Miss Walter’s class show signs of weariness. Three English classes and two Span- ish classes keep Mrs. Queen busy checking papers. Mr. Neill looks over the daily scores made by his freshman students. Brush High's English department con- sists of Mr. Edward Neill, Mr. Leland Schantz, Miss Joan Kundert, Miss Hildred Walters, and Mrs. Margaret Queen. Eng- lish is a required subject four years at BHS, and is taught on four levels, including a functional level. Students study grammar, composition, vocabulary, and literature. Such books as Treasure Island. A Tale of Two Cities. Bridge of San Luis Rev, and Moby Dick are read while attending Brush High School. Sophomore Tim White promptly begins his English assignment. English IV students utilize class time to work on grammar exercises. 19 JUJM BHS OFFERS FOUR SOCIAL Study group days in world history classes gave stu- dents an oppor- tunity to discuss text material and ask questions. Freshmen in Mr. Kahle’s sixth pe- riod class are concerned with geography of the world. World history classes, headed by Mr. Thomas Woolley, were primarily composed of sophomores. Material from The Record of Mankind by Roehm, Buske, Webster, and Wesley, was supplemented with Mr. Wool- ley's daily lectures. Chapter and unit tests In his second year at BHS, Mr. Larry Kahle had four senior American problems classes. Instead of using a reg- ular textbook throughout the year, the seniors read various paperback books, including Hidden Persuaders by Vance Packard, What We Should Know About Communism by Harry and Bonaro Overstreet, and Huxley's Brave New World Revisited. American problems students also under- took the study of the great religions of the world. Mr. Kahle also had a freshman social studies class which met sixth period. During the first semester, the freshmen studied from the book Civics for Americans by Clark, Edmonson, and Dondineau. The second semester was taken up by the study of geography. World Geography Seniors had many questions for Mr. Kahle. 20 STUDIES COURSES were given periodically, and occasionally pop” quizes were administered. A re- search theme on some topic studied during the six-weeks and a book review of a novel written about the period studied were re- quired at the end of every six-weeks period. Study group com- posed of Herb Koehler, Tim White, Kathy Swinson, Cheryl Banks and Karen Walter listens at- tentively to Mr. Woolley's clari- fication of a point. Second period American History students like Mike Lally, Becky Friehauf, and Hazel Vickers appear to be absorbed in Mr. Stimson's daily lecture. Students were required to take notes from the talks. by Pounds and Cooper was the text used then. Coach Joe Edson conducted two additional freshman social studies classes, while Mr. Paul Stimson taught a fourth class. Juniors in Mr. Stimson's four United States History classes were required to turn in notebooks at the end of each six-weeks period. Sectional requirements of the notebooks were class notes, text questions and answers, current events, and tests and miscellaneous. There was a 10-minute quiz every week, and one or two hour-long tests each six-weeks. The text used in these classes was A History of the United States by Alden and Magenis. Mr. Stimson is a two-year veteran of Brush High School. U. S. history lectures were enriched with the addition of an overhead projector in Mr. Stim- son's room. 21 Tom Travis, Danny Crow, and Doris Weiss listen attentively to their geometry instructor, Mr. Schweers. Math courses at B. H. S. consist of related math and Algebra I for fresh- men, geometry for sophomores, Alge- bra II for the juniors and advanced math for the seniors. Even though only one year of math is required for graduation, the majority of students take more than the one year required. Students ponder over Algebra I and geometry prob- lems. Solving for the square roots of numbers proves to be difficult for many. 22 Miss Young, instructor of Algebra I and related math, lectures class on mixture problems. MATH PROGRAM PREPARES STUDENTS FOR THE FUTURE Sid Davis seems to be concentrating on his geometry. Don Osborn prepares his written assign- ment for the day. Mr. Edson instructs classes in Biology. Leslie Christensen and Berdean Draegert give a demonstration to Gen- eral Science students. Don Osborn and Mama Toft work together during Chem- istry class. BRUSH OFFERS Brush High School offers four courses dealing in science which include: General Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Mr. Edson and Mr. Rich- ards hold classes for the Biology students while Mr. Hawthorne instructs two General Science classes. Mr. Mercer teaches General Science, Chemistry, and Physics. Students are required to have four science credits in order to graduate. General Science is offered to all freshmen while sophomores may take either General Science or Biology. Juniors and Seniors have a choice of Chemistry and Physics. Left, Mr. Mercer helps Ken Wagers in Chemistry. Students listen to Mr. Mercer's ex- planation during third period Chemistry. Students in first period Chemistry class work together on experiments, FOUR SCIENCES Mr. Richards teaches fourth period Biology. Mr. Hawthorne presides over his General Science class. 25 SPANISH AND LATIN LANGUAGE During the 1964-65 school year the languages taught at Brush High School included Spanish and Latin. Mrs. Eleise Bloom, left, and Mrs. Queen, not shown, shared the Spanish schedule; however, Mrs. Bloom was the instructor for all of the Latin classes. Doris Weiss, Carolyn Herrmann, and Bonnie Herr- mann all listen carefully to a class lecture. Equipment plays a large role in the teaching of any foreign language, and at Brush High, earphones and tape recorders are used to their fullest extent. Linda Christensen and Tom Travis are taking a lan- guage test. 26 COMPOSE THE 64-65 COURSES Paulette Pollock listens attentively to a Span- ish tape. The study of any foreign language helps the student to converse fluently in the language he has chosen, and also helps him to understand the sometimes complicated struc- ture upon which the language is based. Latin is especially helpful in the study of the English language because many of the words are based on Latin roots. Clarice Herbst, Teresa Peterson, Philip George, Paulette Pollock, Sherry Newlin, Linda Christensen, and Tom Travis all study tapes in Spanish II. 27 BUSINESS CLASSES GROW BHS business classes include typing, bookkeep- ing, shorthand, and clerical practice. Typing, which is taught by Miss Baker, is re- quired for at least one of the four years at BHS. Students taking typing are not only taught a skill, but they also learn to construct themes and manuscripts. As with most students, Cathy Beyer makes an error in typing, but is soon straightened out by Miss Baker. Gloria Foos, Dale Giauque, and Walter Cambell take advantage of the equipment offered to student typists. Mr. Mitchell, business, makes a minor repair on an adding machine, changing the paper. Margaret Riter studies Bookkeeping. Bookkeeping, Shorthand I, and Clerical Practice are taught by Mr. Mitchell. These classes are offered to juniors and seniors only. At least one year of typing is required before you can take any of the above sub- jects. This year there was one class of book- keeping. one class of clerical practice and two classes of shorthand. One of the many accomplishments of the Home Economics classes is making a garment. Laying out the pattern, cutting and pinning are the first steps. The next step is stitching the various pieces together. Finally comes the pressing. HOME ECONOMICS TRAINS HOMEMAKERS OF TOMORROW Although many students believe that the Home Economics classes study only cooking and sewing, it is much more in- volved. Since it is a vocational course, the state requires that certain other aspects of homemaking must also be studied. In- cluded in the requirements are canning and freezing; child care, development and growth; and management of time, energy and money. 30 Mrs. Staby, instructor of the Home Eco- nomics classes, assists one of her students in completing a project. Mr. Richards observes the sanding of a truck in preparation for painting. The Ag instructor, Mr. Richards, points out to Larry Wade the fine de- tails of farm management. The Ag classes are divided into three levels, all taught by Mr. Rich- ards. These classes are primarily for students who are interested in taking up Agriculture as a vocation, either as a farmer or an advanced study in college. In these classes students study live- stock, various crops, types of soil, and actual farm management. Jim Steyaert con- templates where to cut a piece of iron. AG CLASSES HAVE ACTIVE YEAR Accurate measuring is an important item in making Ag projects. SHOP BUILDS WOODWORKING SKILLS Tim Chandler tapers a leg at the lathe for his coffee table he made in shop class. Classes in Industrial Arts consist of two main areas: mechanical drawing and construction of va- rious projects in the shop. Three week periods are spent in each of these areas thus giving a student a chance to be graded on both drawing and woodwork- ing. In the drawing room the student learns the basic requirements of mechanical drawing. Such equip- ment as T-squares, drawing triangles, and instruments of a drawing set are used in room. When the student enters the shop, he works on various projects he has chosen. They learn the use of power tools and to work with their hands. This year several students made miniature houses out of small pieces of pine. Floor plans, end views, and front views are needed in the making of these houses. Several boys worked on these miniature houses including Melvin Callen and Larry Christensen whose house is shown on this page. 32 “PREPARATION FOR COLLEGE WORK,’’ SAYS MRS. VESPER BASS Mrs. Vesper Bass will head the Art Department for the last year as she plans to retire after this school term. Her success through the past forty years is shown throughout the school in various murals, paintings and posters. This year's students were introduced to free hand, color design, composition, and the application of modern methods to old methods of drawing. Mrs. Bass bases all her instruction on a fundamental preparation for a sound base for college work. This year's outstanding students were Colleen Gade, Victor Gar- ber, Dencia Pedersen and Gladwin Beyer. Gary Foiles adds the finishing touch to his water color painting. Don Axtell, an advanced art stu- dent, also works on a painting in which he uses water colors. 33 The Brush High Band had 68 members. The Orchestra added variety to the concerts. BAND PRESENTS Dwight Cameron adds depth to the band. This year the band presented two con- certs, one in the fall and the mass Band Concert which was in May. Besides con- certs here in Brush, the band went to Band Day in Fort Collins and participated in the League Festivals in Wray. This year's twirl- ers were: Jean Ashiem, Marsha Graham, Cheryl Banks, Elaine Baade, Carol Groves, and Les- lie Christensen. The majorette was Marilyn Tomlinson. 34 TWO CONCERTS Kathy Christensen has been a band member for three years. The band also played at home football and basketball games and was the back- ground music in the KLZ television pro- gram. Mr. Hinton and Mr. Price work together to prepare the band for concerts and other public appear- ances. The band practices many hours before each concert. The Swing Band added music to sev- eral activities during the year. They played at the Junior Class Play and also the All School Play. 35 PE PROMOTES PHYSICAL FITNESS Mr. A1 Hawthorne and Miss Joan Kundert super- vise the p. e. classes this year. Exercises are a regular part of the physical ed- ucation program. Co-educational p. e. was introduced into our sys- tem for the first time this year. Jim Nab and Harriett Morgan make good use of the new equipment. 36 Among the new equipment purchased this year for the physical education department was a side horse, a trampoline, new mats and par- allel bars. Marlin Amsberry demonstrates the proper tech- nique diving the mats.

These games would only last two quarters and then the winner of each would play a half- game to see who was the victor. Brush faced the Holyoke Dragons first and defeated them 26 to 12. Coach A1 Hawthorne led the Brush Beetdiggers to a successful season of 4 wins, 4 losses and 1 tie. Brush suffered the tie and one loss to Estes Park and Limon re- spectively, giving them a 4 won and 3 loss league record. The Digger's losses in league play were to Yuma, Akron, and Julesburg. The Beetdiggers ended the season with a 4-way tie for second place with Holyoke, Haxtun, and Yuma. As two teams were allowed to go to state from the Northeast- ern League, a playoff resulted that was held in Sterling, Colorado. Pictured above, Larry Skinner piles through the defense for valuable yardage. Tim Chandler makes first touchdown in Brush's 38-6 win over the Wray Eagles, below.
