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.

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.

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.
