— •------- - - 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.

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

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.
