“POETRY IN MOTION” CAPTIVATES AUDIENCE It is said that dance is an art form that uses body movements as a means of expressing one's ideas on a theme. Its movements can be borrowed from rock n' roll, ballet or jazz then uses other movements to create a dance to- tally free from a definite pattern. Subjects tend to be abstract ones such as fire, birth, good vs. evil or time. For the first time the Brush High School presented a dance program consisting of folk dances and modern dances. The program was presented May 3 and 4 at 8:00 in the Central School Auditorium. Six themes were selected for the modern dance part of the pro- gram. They included earth, birth, good vs evil, time and fire. Miss Diane DeMott, student from Colorado State College, was the choreographer for the dances, while Miss Mora was the sponsor. Thirty-five students partici- pated in the modern dance pro- gram. Special lighting and poet- ry readings added to the program.

Organizations played an important part in the lives of B.H.S. students this year. Along with the academic load that each student carried, organizations were offered as extra-curricular activities. Students participating in these activities not only relaxed from the process of education, but also gained experience in fields that benefited their lives away from school. Meeting during activity period different days of the week, such organizations as Pep Club, B-Club, Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, Rifle Club, Thespians, Future Farmers of America, Future Teach- ers of America, Future Homemakers of America, Music Club, International Re- lations Club, and Girl's Athletic Associa- tion all offered the student a diversion from schoolwork, and also gave him an insight into life. To complete their year as a club or organization, many of these groups held banquets or picnics to celebrate their ac- complishments during the 1967-68 school year.
