V. I.C. A., which stands for Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, was instituted as a new club at B.H.S. Spon- sors for the club were Mr. Ken McReynolds and Mr. Albert Moser. During the year, the 16 members, along with the Fort Morgan members, sponsored a basketball game between the Brush and Fort Morgan faculty. Brush lost this game by a score of 73 to 62. V.I.C.A. also attended a conference held at Brighton, in which Norman Smith was elected state treasurer. They also participated in a trouble shooting con- test held at South High School in Denver. In this contest, the members were to find something wrong with a car in a certain amount of time. Joe Heagney, who was originally the president of V.I.C.A., had to give up his duties during the year. Bob Wooldridge then presided over the meetings, but was never officially elected. The other officers of V.I.C.A. were Dennis Mohrlang, vice-president; Charles Herrmann, trea- surer; Tim Lee, secretary; and Bob Potter, parliamentarian. Other members in the club were; Dean Knox, Rick New- port, Robert Northrup, George Urban, Clinton Cox, Pat Toft, Bruce Mohrland, Fref Wooldridge, Alex Middlemist, and Gary Koehler. 28

Ending its second year as a B.H.S. organi- zation, Rifle Club under Mr. Ken McReynolds boasted an enrollment of 12. Members were Beverly Rainey, Charlene Houston, Sandy Harryman, Craig Ferguson, Bill LeValley, Debra Pederson, Leo Hallahan, Jim Wagner, Gerald Crouch, Robert Christensen, Jim Green, and Ann Brungardt. A unique feature of the club was their of- ficer known as the gripe man. This year it was Beverly Rainey whose duty was to take care of any complaints that the members had. Other officers were president, Jim Green; vice presi- dent, Robert Christensen; and secretary treasur- er, Craig Ferguson. Goals of the club were to promote safety • and respect for firearms, inform participants of the use of firearms, and to promote sportsman- ship. Before anyone could join this club, the sponsor had to receive a written consent from the member's parents or guardian to relieve the school of responsibility. Accidents were avoided, however, as all of the N.R. A., Na- tional Rifleman's Association, rules of conduct were followed. Officers are left to right, Robert Christensen, Jim Green, Craig Ferguson, and Mr. McReynolds sponsor.
