The Journalism Staff of BRUSH HIGH SCHOOL Brush, Colorado Presents SAGEBRUSH ‘67 _________I — ADMINISTRATION Mr. Wayne Brower. Mr. Thomas Lally. and the School Board comprised the ad- ministration. The main functions of the ad- ministration was to establish the policy and to provide smooth operations for the school. Assuming the position of superintendent. Wayne Brower set up office in the new Chamberof Commerce Building. Mr. Brow- er moved to Brush from Nebraska to take over his office in the school system for his first year. On May 9th Don Mitchell, George White, John Hallahan, and Merton Jefferies were re-elected to the seven member board. Other members were Dean Chris- tensen, John Lindell, and Robert Wagers. Mr. Thomas Lally. principal, moved to Brush in the school year of 51-52 from l.a Veta, Colorado. He has retained his position for the past 13 years. 5 Dear Students, Your educational life begins at birth and ends with death. In between these extremities there are certain events which mark the phases of your learning: your pre-school tutoring under your mother's guidance ends with entrance into kindergarten: grade school days close when you become a high school freshman; required schooling ends with graduation from high school; spe- cialization and higher education begins with trade school, job training, or college. The Sagebrush for 1966-67 marks another milestone in your education, and another year completed. 7 Board members are, from left to right: Don Mitchell, Dean Christensen, Robert Wagers, John Lindell, John Hallahan, George White and Merton Jefferies. Board Plans For New School RE-2 School District has undergone many changes with the leadership of a new superintendent, Wayne Brower. Mr. Brower, who came from Nebraska, has moved to new administration offices downtown in the Chamber of Commerce Building. Four of the seven-member board were up for election this year. Don Mitchell, George White, John Hallahan and Merton Jefferies were re-elected on May 9th. Planning a new jr. -sr. high school and studying a K-12 coor- dinated curriculum were.the main projects this past year. An architectural firm was hired to draw up preliminary plans for the buildings, and an option was taken to buy 51 acres as a site. The North Central Accreditation Committee visited for a week in April. Their recommendations are expected to be con- structive and beneficial. A complete, comprehensive set of policies were compiled and adopted by the board, governing ail phases of school activities. Dear Students, The greater the change of pace of the world, the more urgent it is for our young people to develop a background in learning to meet these changes. We hope that we are pro- viding the type of education program in Brush High School to meet these needs. The students of this high school have come a long way in preparing themselves to be leaders of tomorrow. Keep up the good work. WAYNE M. BROWER, SUPT. Left: Ralph Anderson, Secretary 9 Fall activities were concerned primarily with football and its goals. Weather proved to be a menace during the season as the temperature was often cold. The foot- ball team members were able to move during the game, but Pep Club girls covered themselves up with blankets and braved the cold to cheer the team to victory. Homecoming highlighted the season falling on October 7. The Diggers played host to the Holyoke Dragons and defeated them. The dance, held after the game, was a reunion for alumni and B. H.S. students. Music was provided by the J us t in Martyrs of Greeley. Four candidates for Homecoming, Angelica Hansch, Kathy Swinson, Diane Olson, and Colette Schilling were chosen by the football team. Harold Sharp crowned Diane Olson as reigning queen at the half of the football game. Games, Plays Add To Winter Season Officially winter begins on December 22, but for those ofB.H.S. winter begins when basketball and wrestling are performed. Even though B. H. S. did not go to state basket- ball, four wrestlers went to State. Annually the senior class presents a Christmas play. The play was given on December 20th. Christmas also brought to the students' minds the thought of vacation. To celebrate the last day of school before vacation, the four classes parti- cipated in skits. Seniors proved their dramatic ability and placed first, followed by sophomores, freshmen, and juniors. Snow was not abundant so school was never called off be- cause of a blizzard. Whenever it did snow, students would get their hopes up only to be disappointed by the sun reap- pearing shortly after. The students took advantage of the Florida like winter and enjoyed it. Basketball games had their exciting moments and each game's outcome was unpredictable. Herbie Koehler was honored as Brush’s most valuable player. Here Herbie is trying for a shot while his guards try unsuccessfully to stop him. Teammates await the rebound. Dress rehearsals often become comedy plays as the cast members clown in a semi-celebration of the upcoming performance night. Sometimes costumes require more than one's self to take off or put on. Chuck Vondy re ceived help from Harold Sharp. Spring '67 at B.H.S. was highlighted by the Prom, Digger Day, graduation, track, baseball, and several club banquets. Those clubs holding banquets included B-club, International Relations Club, Thespians, and the Seniors. The track season was completed with moderate success as the state meet was attended by freshman Ricky Allen and Senior Harold Sharp. The baseball team lost their only conference game to Burlington and ended the season with a record of four wins and seven losses. V- • 4 Spring Awakens Many Activities Four hundred twenty-eight teenagers con- verged on theB. H.S. campus August 28 to begin another year of toil during their high school career. They came--the freshmen tremulously, the sophomores more self-assured than the pre- vious year, the juniors anticipating the Prom fi- nances, and the seniors planning to make this year their best--ready to work hard as well as to put down all the work for times of fun. For these students, this yearbook will hold many reminders. Memories of triumph, defeat, play and work are contained in the following pages. 16 4 J-Staff Completes Dual Purpose Twenty-two students comprised the Journalism Staff with the dual purpose of issuing a newspaper every three weeks and a yearbook annually. The Journalists ranged from the sopho- more to the senior class level sponsored by Mr. Thomas Woolley. Beat assignments, regular story assignments, ad assignments, and blanket stories were just a few of the tasks performed by the newspaper staff. Also during the year each member of the staff had his duties to laying out certain pages of the yearbook. Tom Travis, newspaper editor, assisted by co-editor, Leslie Christensen and George Sears assisted by Rick George, yearbook editors worked throughout the year assigning newspaper and yearbook assignments and meeting various deadlines. Last year the Brush High Journalism Staff was honored when the 1965-66 Sagebrush received a number two position for the state of Colorado in the National High School Yearbook Contest. The Brush yearbook received exceptionally high ratings in the categories of layout and photog- raphy. ACADEMICS Above, Miss Young ex- plains a problem on the blackboard to one of her Geometry classes. Miss Young taught two geome- try classes this year. At right, various students work in the classroom while others work alone on their homework. There were 15 classes this year in the math depart- ment. 22 Under the direction of three instruc- tors, the 1966-67 math department of- fered varied levels of study. The instruc- tors include Miss Young, Mrs. Hancock, and Mr. Schweers. Mrs. Hancock, a new teacher at BHS this year, began by covering the fields of Algebra I and Related Math. Miss Young taught in three fields including Algebra I, Geometry, and Consumer's Math. Cov- ering most of the advanced classes, Mr. Schweers had Geometry, Algebra II, and Fundamentals for Advanced Math. Many interesting topics were covered during the year. In Miss Young’s Geome- try class the students worked with drawing as they each drew a scale model of a math room to be put in the new school. While studying probability in the ad- vanced senior class, Mr. Schweers showed a few card tricks to show the probability of receiving a certain hand. In addition to the regular teachers, a student teacher came to BHS in the spring. His name was Mr. Hansen and his supervisor was Mr. Schweers. After a couple of weeks of observation, Mr. Hansen led the various classes in math. English Classes Read Various Literature English is a required subject at Brush High School for four years and is taught on regular basis as well as functional levels. Students were assigned vocabulary, literature, composition, and grammar. Seniors, instructed by Mr. Neill, studied the modern novel and read such books as Heart of Darkness, Lord of the Flies. Animal Farm, and War and Peace. They also did some writing and studied formal vocabulary. Mr. Neill's freshman classes wrote themes, read Oliver Twist, discussed a unit on poetry, and studied and reviewed capitalization. Miss Walters also taught members of the class of '67. These students made a survey of English literature. When this was accomplished, a theme was written by each student about a phase of literature, some author, or'a movement in literature. Some of the books read were Great Expectations, Lord Jim, Keys of the Kingdom, and Return of the Native. Juniors, Under Mr. Schantz, spent the first semester reviewing grammar techniques and working on vocabulary assignments. During the second semester, students worked mainly on the analysis of American literature. Moby Dick, The Last of the Mohicans. My Antonia, and The House of the Seven Gables were some of the stories which were used. Ivanhoe, The Pearl, Lost Horizon, and Kon-Tiki were some of the books which were required for the sophomores under Mrs. Travis’ guidance. Modem drama, speech, and short stories were also studied. Mrs. Queen's freshman English class went into the topic of mythology. They read Treasure Island and several short stories. The purpose and aims of all of the English classes are to help the students increase their knowledge of the subject, to help in self ex- pression, to broaden vocabulary uses in the everyday language, and to teach students to appreciate outstanding selections in English literature. 25 Social Studies Changes With New Instructors Social Sciences prospered after a year of change and adaptation caused by new teachers and new approaches. Only one of the five teachers in the Social Studies De- partment has been here for more than five years, that being Mr. Thomas Woolley who used a new technique in instructing world history. It is termed the post hole method, since its theory assumes that students learn more by looking deeply into a few events in history in- stead of looking at history in an over all view. With this method students do many research papers on men and events, but they aren't required to learn many dates or locations since this information should be acquired as.. .a result of research papers. Two teachers were instructing for their first year. One, Mr. Darrell Dilworth taught American Problems from knowledge gained through re- search. He used college manuals as the source of lectures and used the regular text as an outline only. This multi-source approach required ex- tensive note taking and studying by the students. Another of the new teachers, Mr. John Shikles, and a veteran of Brush High for four years, Mr. Joe Edson taught Civics to freshman. It was their goal to give our students the background in our government’s system that they will need when they are adults. 27 Science Prepares Students For Scientific Future Instructing the four classes of sciences which were offered at B. H.S. for the 66-67 school year were, Mr. Burton, teaching gen- eral science, Mr. Edson and Mr. Richards biology, while Mr. Mer- cer taught biology, chemistry, and physics. A student teacher, Mr. Gabriel, aided Mr. Mercer after the second semester began. 29 Counselors Help With Problems After nine years of counseling at Brush High, Mrs. Van Dyke was well acquairted with the student's problems, whether they were academic, social, or personal, during the 1966-67 year. Working with her, for his second year, was Mr. Bob Hayes. Mr. Hayes was head of the orientation program for freshmen, which included ex- planations of requirements for future years in high school and acquainted them with various classes and clubs. He also counseled the sophomores, telling them ot their re- quired subjects they should have had and will need to become juniors and seniors. For the junior and senior students Mrs. Van Dyke interpreted many kinds of test scores. Plans for further education and col- lege forms were discussed during group or individual counseling. . M gS- v r j: s Tit i Home-Ec Girls Improve Skills Preparing for home life after high school was the main purpose of the four Home Economics classes avail- able to the girls of Brush High School. Mrs. Martha Staby taught all four classes, which were: Home Ec I, Home Ec II, Home Ec III and IV, and Senior Home Ec. These different classes included training in sewing, home management, home furnishings, and child care. The HomeEc room was furnished with the equipment necessary for this training. The students who were studying sewing were taught the value of colors, after which they showed their skills by constructing an article of clothing. Cooking included meal management and food preparation. Mrs. Staby also taught the participants of her classes about caring for children, furnishing their homes with good taste, and what good home management is. 5 2 , i i Richards Heads Ag Agriculture classes of the 1966-67 school year were taught by Mr. Mark Richards. Although no advanced Ag. classes were taught at B.H.S. . Ag. 1 and Ag. II were offered. Both classes coveted a wide range of agricultural fields. Ag. I classes dealt mainly in the live- stock area, covering such fields as judging, care, and diseases of livestock. Boys taking their second year of the course covered, mainly, the crop produc- tion area, and studied such subjects as the identity and control of plants and other phases of farm management. Vocations Trains For Future Jobs Brush High School's vocations department was taught by Mr. Pierce, Mr. Petross, and Mr. Richards. A three period class was offered during the morning to juniors and seniors. Seniors were transported by bus to Hillrose where they were taught by Mr. Pierce. Juniors were taught the basic principles by Mr. Petross at Snyder. Freshmen and sophomores were given a two period course in the afternoon, freshmen being taught by Mr. Richards at Hillrose while Mr. Petross instructed the sophomores at Snyder. The principal of these classes was to give first and second year students an introduction into the elementary fields of vocational training in order that third and fourth year stu- dents may be instructed in more advanced fields. Shop Divided Into Two Areas Mr. Ed Archer, instructor of the Industrial Arts classes, divided his course into two main areas: mechanical drawing and the construction of various shop projects. In the drawing room, Mr. Archer instructed his students on the different types of drawings by use of instruments and a drawing book. The construction of projects portion of the course was carried out in the shop. There students assembled projects out of such media as plastics, fiber glass, and different types of wood. Some of the items constructed during the year were lamps, book cases, skiis, and bowls of different shapes and Art Dept. Exhibits Projects in March Five periods of Mr. Terrell Sumner's school day were spent instructing two art classes and three craft classes. The an classes worked in the area of oil painting, water colors, design, composition, color, and carving. A project that the class displayed was the Christmas scene erected over the gymnasium. Mr. Sumner’s course on crafts involved working with leather, wood, mosaic, lapadary, and jewelry projects. The highlight of the year for the an department came when they exhibited in March the works of all the classes. P.E. Proffered Varied Program Keeping with the physical fitness program, P.E. students this year were active with many exuberant activities. Miss Margaret Mora, Girls' P.E. teacher, and Mr. Darrell Dil- worth and Mr. Robert Hays, Boys' P.E. instructors had a busy schedule planned for their students. In the fall, the students were guided out of doors for football, soccer, and track. During the winter months, techniques of basketball and kill- erball were perfected, as most of their time was passed in the gymnasium. Archery, softball, and track were played in the spring. Also, during the year a unit of gymnastics was presented, and a team of the best gymnastics was formed to present an exhibition to the school. Sumner Teaches Driving Skills Under the instruction of Mr. Terrell Sumner, this year's Driver's Education class consisted of about 50 members. This year the class was divided into two sessions, one each semes- ter. The second session lasted for a week after school was out in order for the students to finish the course. Students had to have 32 hours in the classroom, 6 hours behind the wheel, and 2 hours observing to complete the class. Among the classroom time, the students had to make reports, listen to lectures by Mr. Sumner, and hold discussions. This year's Driver Ed car was a 1967 Galaxie 500 donated by Carroll Motor Company. Along with learning the fundamentals of driving, the students had to have a working knowledge of the mechanics of their car. 37 As in the past, Speech was offered only to Juniors and Seniors. During the first semester the upperclassmen were instructed in various ways of delivering speeches, such as, imprompto, convincing, demon- stration, discussion panels, debates and nar- rative reading. The second semester was spent improving speech tecnhiques and some work was done involving radio and television The Speech classes also presented the campaign speeches for the candidates run- ning for next years Student Body offices. Speech Offered To Upperclassmen Mr. Thomas Woolley taught Speech for his fourth year. Language Dept. Headed by Three Mrs. Margaret Queen, Mrs. Eleise Bloom and Mrs. Martha Staby were the instructors for the Foreign Language Departments for the 1966-67 B.H.S. school year. The three instructors presided over seven Foreign Language classes. Mrs. Bloom's (left) school day was composed of teaching two Latin I classes and one Spanish I, Spanish II and Latin II classes. German I and another class of Spanish I were in- structed by Mrs. Staby and Mrs. Queen respectively. Along with teaching their students the language of the countries, the three instructors also enlightened their pupils on various customs and traditions of the studied areas. one year of German is taught by Mrs. Staby. Mrs. Queen instructed a Spanish I class. Business Department Offers Job Training Offering such courses as shorthand, typing, clerical practice, and bookkeeping, the Business Department of Brush High School prepared many students for further education or jobs following their graduation. Under the instruction of Mr. Robert Mitchell and Mr. Jerome Lynch, 96 stu- dents learned the techniques of typing, while Mr. Mitchell taught the basics of bookkeeping to 34 pupils. During the 1967 year Miss Clerice Herbst was honored with the title of Distinguished Secretary ofB.H.S. In order to attain this award, one must type 60 words per minute and take dicta- tion at 120 wpm. Past recipients of this award are Sharon Littlefield and Linda Christensen, winners for tne year of 1966. Total enrollment for the Business Depart- ment was approximately 151, making this de- partment one of the largest in Brush High. 41 Musicians Present Spirited Programs Directed by Mr. Don Hinton and Mr. Don Price, the BHS choir, Swing Band, All School Band added a spirited accent to the school enthusiasm. Performances by the bands were displayed during half times at basketball and football games, and at the pep assemblies. Besides playing at sports events, the band me mbe rs presented Spring and Winter Concerts. The 74 players also participated in League Band Festival and Honor Band. The Swing Band also took part in the Stage Band Clinic, receiving a 1 rating. The Mixed Chorus and All Girl Chorus participated in the League Choral Festival and Honor Chorus. Highlighting the 1966-67 season, the musical department presented a May Concert. Shikles Leads Seniors In Psychology Study In his first year of teaching, Mr. John Shikles directed the seniors in their psychology studies. The students studied the various techniques of efficient learning, the process of thinking, the development of personalities, and the role of the family in America today. After a unit on the mental illnesses, which are present in the world today, the classes traveled to Denver to tour Ridge Home and Fort Logan Mental Hospital. Anex- periment in learning was performed to show the problems of learning something new under a for- eign condition. With the whole school partici- pating in a survey, a cross section of the feelings of teen-agers on friendship experiences was obtained. 44 Sumner and Hanson Head Up Title I Newly instituted, Title I is being taught by Mrs. Sumner and Mrs. Hanson. Mrs. Sumner, the Reading Lab instructor, first discovers the reading level of each individual and then lists skills which would help him increase his reading level. Programs used in her classes are rated simple to difficult, and each stu- dent starts at his own particular plateau of learning. Mrs. Hanson supervises Home Nursing, a class where girls learn to care for a convalescent patient at home. They are taught how to recognize the signs of illness, to prepare a room for the patient, and to work in a daily schedule for the patient and family. Also the instruction of constructing equipment used at home, and the procedure in giving general care, making beds, and preparing foods and special diets are essential in Mrs. Hanson’s program. Children between the ages of three and seven were honored at a party given by the Home Nursing classes. In the latter part of the year, the students studied the difference between an ill child and one that is healthy. Shortly after this, the projects, which were built earlier in the year, were made available for group work. Each of these groups had a narrator and demonstrator who ex- plained the projects. 46 Pulling together as a g rou p. the Class of 1967 worked on projects ranging from school competition to individual duties. Among the group activities wxre the Home- coming float competition. Student Coun- cil Talent Show, and Digger Day rivalry. As they were in their final year of security in high school the students began to realize the Importance of planning for the future. While many were applying to the college of their choice, others were filling out ap- plication forms for business firms. They had to make all the necessary steps for their future education of job before leaving BUS. SENIORS 47 Betty Acosta Susanne Amsberry Elaine Baade Cathy Bass Gladwin Beyer Bob Blackburn Keith Chard Randall Christensen Eileen Clark Val Clay John Bloom Laura Bolinger Diane Burt Steve Cook Larry Cooper Dan Crow Christine Dahms Wanda Carlson Gilbert Celestino Theresa Celestino Nancy Davis Roger Defenbaugh Bill Delong Charlotte DeLude Directing the senior class activities this year were Mrs. Jane Van- Dyke and Mr. Leland Schantz. President Tim White, assisted by Carolyn Herrmann led the class. Chris Dahms kept the minutes and Bob Sachs handled the money matters. In the history of B. H.S. . this is the first class to graduate with 96 members. Before leaving for Christmas vacation, they took first place in the talent show with a skit. Their Homecoming float rated second. Seniors Yield to Mixed Emotions Gathering at the commencement exercises were the excited seniors who had worked together for high esteem; stood together in times of sorrow; and shared good times with laughter. Many were thoroughly overjoyed to be freed of the ties of the school, thinking, I'll never see this place again! However, for many it meant a time for giving a tender hug to a friend, a reverent clap on the back, and perhaps a lump in the throat, and a few tears burning in the eyes. As everyone leaves to go his own way, perhaps too far to see his classmates until a reunion in 25 years, he can remember the experiences of the Class of '67 as a part of him. 50 Jamie Drahota Eunice Duckworth Larry Foiles David Graham Carolyn Herrmann Jim Hunt Kathy Karpe Karol Groves Santos Guzman Debbie Halcomb Dale Hall Sharilyn Kittleman Herb Koehler Debora Leis Angelica Hansch Linda Heagney Jacquelyn Held Clarice Herbst Sharon Littlefield James McCann Linda McDaniel Beverly Macht Lynda Marick Marsha Maupin In her speech class, Patty Spears demonstrates the’technique of putting up her hair on tin cans--one of this year's fads. Speech was among the many electives offered to the students who were in their final year at B. H.S. Only two subjects were required; American Problems and English IV. In order to graduate, a student must have 42 credits which have been accumulated over their four years of study at Brush High.

Early in the fall, the major project was running the concession stand during football, which is always reserved for the junior class. A drive for selling tooth- brushes was next attempted which added a fair amount of money to the class treasury. When the year was drawing to a close and the Prom was near, a few eager juniors held a bake sale and collected pop bottles, add- ing the largest amount to the treasury during the year. Because the Juniors seemed to have a loosing streak in everything they did at B. H. S.. they were eager to present one of the best Proms ever given. Mick Reno, class president, kept the meetings in order while Debby Bolinger presided as vice-president. Leslie Christen- sen was elected secretary while Chris Elling took the job of recording finauces. 67 JUNIORS B. Acosta C. Alexander J. Asheim S. Atkins C. Bane E. Bass W. Baughman K. Beyer D.

The under- classman finds himself suddenly in a world of studies, sports, and social activities. He faces fouryears which will determine his success or failure in life. Rejected by up- perclassmen. he soon adjusts to his new life and finds that he is fast becoming a part of B.H.S. , while Brush High becomes a pan of him. as well. With the pleasures of high school. also, come many hours of work. The under- classman learns how to adjust to home- work, how to work on committees, and how to work as a team with his classmates. Bytheend of his sophomore yearantipa- thy toward high school has changed to pride, enthusiasm, and an eagerness to pursue a successful high school career. UNDERCLASSMEN 73 Jk o _ L. Alexander J.

S., supervised by their class sponsors, Mr. Woolley and Mr. Shikles. The 123 class members elected Danny Harbert to lead their class through the first year at high school, with Julie Opp as vice-president. Sharon Madsen was elected to handle the job as secretary-treasurer, after which class business began. For the first two weeks, freshmen and other new students entering B. H.S. were required to attend Brush High's orientation, during which they were taught the rules and regulations that new students should be familiar with. Each activity period for thirty minutes, they restrained themselves from other activities and went each consecutive day. After they gave their time, they felt their place in school becoming more evident. R. Jones D. Knox J. Knox L. Kolman S. Koenke M. Kulp M. Lahman L. Lassen S. Lau T. Lawler B. Lee W. Lee n i J.

Dennis Stolte. and state track members Rick Alien and Harold Sharp. All- conference team selections were guard Jim McNay in football and Herb Koehler in basketball. A It hough Brush produced no state teams, school spirit remained high during the sea- sons with pep rallies and aftergame dances.
