Some of the many activities B.H.S. experienced this 1973-1974 year were decorating for the Home- coming floats and squaredancing in P.E. Even though the schoolwork throughout the year proved to be very trying, there was some time for rest and relaxation. Homecoming started the B.H.S.âs yearly activities. The climax for the whole event was on October 13, when the floats were judged at the annual parade. Many parents and fans this year came to support the Diggers at all the sports events. 7 THE RECORD This is the record of the happenings of 1973-â74 year. Activities, sports, clubs, and the most necessary ingredient of all, the people, all melt together in a potpouri of life as we lived it. Each person will have had his own sense of what made the highlights of the yearâin truth, it was many things. It could have been a thought provoking discussion in a classroom, the togetherness we felt as we applauded our victories, or it may have been the closeness we developed with those around us. Each of us lived and observed a different drama according to our own experience . . . and we will treasure these moments that were ours. 11 BOARD GETS OK FOR NEW JR.-HI Presiding over the school office for their fourth and seventh terms were Robert Kilzer and Robert Scoville, respectively. Serving as school board members during the 73-74 school year were: Placido Romero, Don Mitchell. Allyn Wind. President Glen Swinson, Don King, Mort Boxer and Harold Spade. Highlighting the school boardâs achievements throughout the year was the passing of a bond issue for a new Jr. High. For many years the principal has been thought of as an authoritarian figure and rules maker. If students have this perception, it is difficult to have meaningful communica- tions. I feel the authoritarian image can be broadened and modified if students and administration get to know each other on a more personal basis. As principal of Brush High School, I do want to become better acquainted with the students. As assistant principal, I have a very difficult job in trying to act as judge and jury in respect to solving many student- teacher-parent conflicts. It is my sincere desire to always be fair in my dealings. I hope the students will benefit from the many decisions I have to make and will feel free to come in and talk any- time. 13 FACULTY HAS SMALL TURNOVER Eleven departments were represented through the guidance of thirty-two faculty members during the school year.

But lucidly, this yearâs youngsters lasted out the year with- out too much ribbing from the upperclassmen. As the 1973-74 school year comes to an end, one tan see how the frosh have expanded during the year. No longer do they seek directions to the restrooms, ask if one needs a pass to get a drink of water, or walk into a classroom to find it packed with seniors. They are still known as âthose poor little freshmenâ, but will renounce their title to the upcoming freshmen in August of 1974.

Other performances included entertaining the North Central Evaluation Team and joining to- gether with the Concert Choir for Baccalaureate. 89 ATHLETICS WE 0 1973 Football Season Scoreboard Valley THEY 20 26 Weld Central 8 0 Haxtun 7 49 Wray 0 0 Julesburg 19 14 Burlington 26 30 Yuma 45 34 Holyoke 8 0 Akron 14 DIGGERS TAKE STATE During the 1973-74 season the Brush basket- ball team dominated basketball in Colorado.

GOLFERS ADD TWO TROPHIES Changing the season for the Brush Golfers seemed to give them a bit of a boost because they added two trophies, a first and a second, to the Brush collection. The first place trophy was captured when the team took the Akron Invitational for the second year in a row and the second place trophy was won in the Brush Invitational when they took second out of eight teams.

Brush took third in the 440 yard relay, fourth in the mile run, and fifth in the 880 yard medley. Only the top four places qualified for state.

Never again will a year be comprised of this particular combination of people, and those special experiences and accomplishments that were unfor- getable segments of that school year. The year 1973-74 tells a story all its own; a story built upon the laughs, the disappointments, and the unexpected pleasures of the people of Brush High School. As the seasons change and time progresses, so do the students of BHS. Here is their story. 101 104 During the long school year, Brush High School students found many ways to combat school fatigue. Among these were frequent trips to the restroom and also quietly sneaking off to the cafetorium for a pop break. 105 FALL As the red and gold autumn leaves lazily fell to the earth, the halls of Brush High School vibrated with the excitement a new year brings. With the last fallen leaf, the students of BHS found themselves looking back on an activity filled season. Highlighting the 1973 autumn were the Digger football games and a memorable Jr. Class Play. Especially for the gradua- ting class of 1974, the fall of â73 was something to remember. Although there were those for whom fall activities were primarily a spectator sport, there were others who, at times, became totally involved. Biology was once again offered as the main second year science class. This course basically consisted of sophomores as students. The main purpose of this class was to explore different forms of life from the smallest amoeba to the giant giant redwood tree. Freshmen get a good taste of higher education in their physical science class. P.E. classes prove that life does have its ups and downs. This senior shows that spills are contradictory to an upper- classmanâs usual confidence and poise. 110 THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY FORT MORGAN TIMES Sometimes school stimulates the brain and then again, sometimes it doesnât. These students may look quietly contented with their work on the outside, but inwardly, school is the last place that they wish to be at the time. School is a place of hard work, but many students can find the time to break the boredom and sit back to read a good book, fiddle with their newest toy, or just day- dream of the night before. Ill Friendship and companionship have long been undisputed basic needs of life. However, there comes a time in every studentâs life when a moment of solitude becomes necessary. Unknown to the record, though, is whether these lonely moments were plan- ned or, if for some personal reasons, all the other students of BHS chose to be in other parts of the building for a while. THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY BLOMENKAMPâS 113 DIGGERS SMASH 23 RECORDS Twelve individual and eleven team records were broken at Brush High during the 1973 football season. Dennis Miller was selected to the all-state team as an end and ranked high in the state in re- ceiving. John Lynch broke four passing records followed by three receiving records for Dennis Miller, while Randy Needens kicked extra points and inter- cepted passes for new marks. Gaylene Bostron blocked passes while Randy Jones blocked kicks and Carl Peters scored one safety to finish out the individual records. Passing again led the team records as yards, attempts, completions, scoring, completion per centage, and first downs by passing were all brok- en. Extra points by kicking was the lone re- maining offensive team mark which fell. Safeties, tackles, assists, and interceptions were the defens- ive team records broken. The Brush J.V.âs had a fine 6-0-1 season followed by the frosh with a 2-1 performance. With these kinds of records Digger fans should have plenty to look for- ward to in future years. Mr. Donald Thomas again headed the coaching staff with Craig Kientz and Tim McGlynn assisting. Former alumni Larry Mills was the new J.V. coach and LeeRoy Necdens led the frosh while also helping Coach Mills with the J.V.âs. GOLFERS CHANGE TO A FALL SPORT Brushâs golf team experienced a rather unusual season this year when their normal spring sport was changed to fall. There was a good turnout for the 73 season with 14 boys out for the team. The team started out hot with a seven match winning streak, but then broke the chain with a fourth place for the JV's and a tenth place for the varsity team. The golfers ended the sea- son with a two-club, intra-squad tournament. Concluding the 1973-â74 Volleyball season. Brush hosted the Northeastern League Tournament. The Beetdiggers finished with second place after dropping the championship match to Wray. At the conclusion of the tournament, the coaches se- lected an All-Star Team of six, of which Brush girls were se- lected to hold four of the positions. Those selected from Brush were: Barb Wagers, Cindy Hunt, Pat Mitchell, and Kathy Elling.

Unmeasurable effort was put forth by all four classes to construct float plans. On Saturday morning, Oct. 13, a parade was held at which time the final products were revealed. âDiggers are G-r-reat!â, presented by the Freshmen, received third place. The Sophomoresâ âDiggers are Gloriousâ took sec- ond. Placing first were both Juniors and Seniors with the mottos âDiggers are Bootinâ for a Victoryâ and âDiggers are Dynamiteâ, respectively. Kathy Elling and Dennis Miller were chosen as royalty for the 1973 Homecoming festivities. Kathyâs attendants were Ellen Bailey, Pat Mitchell and Marlene Schilling. Rick Baker, Pete Krohn and Dave Samples served as attendants for Dennis. The coronation highlighted the halftime activities during the Brush vs Burlington game, where the Diggers lost by a score of 27-14. The classes of â74 and â75 both took top honors with their floats; the first time in years that a tie for first has taken place in the float competition. The Homecoming Dance, held Saturday evening with the theme âDiggers Are ... â, took place in the BHS cafetorium, which was decorated with streamers and footballs. âScratchâ provided the music for the dance from 8:00-12:00 P.M. PAGE SPONSORED BY DUCKWALLS 123 STUDENTS ENJOY GREAT MOMENTS . . . Fall months provided a wide variety of activities for the BHS student both in and out of school. Seniors and freshmen challenged the sophomores and juniors to a Fierce powder puff football battle which resulted in the seniors defending their title. The junior class tried several new things during the sea- son, including a melodrama complete with villain and heroine and âmanpowerâ to pull their float. During their study period, students often tuned into KBHS on the intercom to listen to selected music and comments from the student D.J.âs. Football team members were served meals by the Home Ec. Department before their games each Friday. . . . IN FALL FESTIVITIES SPONSORED BY LITTLE BANDIT TRUCK STOP ENERGY SHORTAGE HITS PEP CLUB Anxious pep club members cheer the Digger football 1!â after an exciting 51-50 win over the Haxtun Bull team on to victory as they count down the last three dogs late in the basketball season, seconds, and exclaim with equal fervor, âWeâre number Despite the energy shortage and related problems the pep club faced, they still sup- ported the teams at out-of-town events by traveling with them to the games on the bus. In addition, the pom-pon girls presented routines, and others gave skits at pep as- semblies to promote school spirit. 126 CLASS OF 74 UNDEFEATED Seniors and freshmen were ready to start the game as shown here by their punting. The classes kept getting away from each other on their plays. âWhereâs the ball!â became the familiar cry of the teams as they were in the process of âtacklingâ each other for the ball. Everyone always felt sorry for the person that was unlucky enough to be on the bottom of the pile. HALLOWEEN PARTIES HOSTED Festivities began on Oct. 22 with the Clearing House Hallo- ween Party. The party was for childrenâs organizations which in- cluded Star School. UNESCO workshop and youth ARC, all from Ft. Morgan. Special education students from Brush were also in- vited. The evening was spent playing âmixingâ games with a parachute and later dancing to the music of the âNo-Noâs . Oct. 29 was the date marked for the GAA Halloween Party. Beginning with a âpot luckâ chili supper at 6:30 P.M., activities continued through the evening until 9:30. Games included bob- bing for apples, extinguishing a candle with a cork and others. 75â PRESENTS MELODRAMA âAdrift in New Yorkâ was the title of the annual Ju- nior Class play this year. The play was held November 8 and 9 to full houses both evenings. The play was a melodrama with a cast of 14. The plot was set back in the 1890âs when Nellie Weston, a farm girl, runs away to find herself. The family is almost thrown out of their house by a dastardly villian, but the boy next door finally saves them. The Junior Class all took part in selling tickets for the melodrama, which was directed by Mrs. Eleise Bloom, assisted by Miss Lorraine Young. Cast for âAdrift in New Yorkâ included: Kathic Flinn, Arnic Andersen, Joan Murphy, Cheryl Wood, Le- roy Pangle, Andy Mitchell, Eric Olsen, Chris Ruebel, Randy Jones, Gary Wantlin, Byron Danielsen, Nancy Beckley, Nancy Swinson, Saundra Scoville, and Lynn Price. Prompter, business manager, publicity, and properties were done by Karen Cox, Amy Wahlert, Donna Ander- son, Barb Jones and Charleta Rose respectively. WINTER 13-1 SEASON RESULTS IN LEAGUE CROWN After making a comeback from an early defeat by the Hax- tun Bulldogs, Brush went undefeated to win the League title and advance to the District playoffs. Having captured the number one position in the North- eastern League, the Beetdiggers were seated as the number one team at the Sub-District Tournament in Yuma. Brush then de- feated Akron, Wray, and Julesburg to collect their second trophy. BRUSH ADVANCES TO STATE CHAMPIONSHIP DRAWS NEAR SPONSORED BY BRUSH INDUSTRIAL BANK The Brush Beetdiggers then claimed their fourth state champ- ionship . . . the last one having been in 1969. After a hard fought battle with Glenwood Springs. Brush became the undisputed number one team in the state! As well as claiming the state title, three individuals also re- ceived honors. Randy Needens was selected as the outstanding player of the tournament, All-State, and broke the Brush free throw record with his efforts at state. John Lynch and Dennis Miller were also selected as All-Staters. BRUSH IS NUMBER ONE! SAMPLES TAKES SECOND AT STATE For the Brush Wrestlers, the 1973-74 season held a mixture of victory and defeat. The Diggers began the season with unexpected strength by downing Highland and Caliche. These victories were followed by the Diggersâ win at the Eaton Triple Duel. By Christ- mas, the Brush grapplers had accumulated nine victories and only one loss, but the new year wasnât so kind. Marred by injury and illness. Brush Finished the season in fifth place. STUDENTS BREAK CUSTOM Custom at Brush High School was broken this year by not having the annual class skits presented by each class at Christ- mas time. Instead, this year an evening program was held. Under the direction of Mrs. Bloom and Mr. Harding, and along with the combined effort of the Select Choir, Concert Choir, and Thespian Troupe, a variety of talent was displayed at the performance. Select Choir and Concert Choirs sang songs that were appro- priate for the times, while the Thespians acted out a small skit. Before most of the songs, readers from the Thespians presented original writings and interpretations of the songs. During this time, the art classes were decorating windows and other students were making decorations for the evening program. 144 FOREIGN LANGUAGE KEEPS TRADITION Once again Mrs. Bloom and Mrs. Queen had parties for the German and Spanish students in their foreign language classes. Spanish classes broke pinatas and ate Mexican foods, while the German students ate cabbage pockets, strudel and other German dishes. Both groups sang songs from their countries. When all was done, the students were âstuffedâ, not to mention the teachers. The Christmas parties proved to break the monotony of the regular class routine. THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY HENRYâS DRIVE-IN STUDENTS GO FROM BANDS mum Everyone needed to get into the feel of the music. The slow dances took many of the âsteadiesâ to the floor, anxious to get to the beat of the music. On the fast dances, new couples appeared. People really learned to swing their hips and sway to the âneatâ music. Though most of the dances were supplied with records instead of a âlive bandâ, most seemed to enjoy themselves. TO RECORDS AT SOCKHOPS During the 1973-â74 school year, recorded music replaced the familiar âliveâ band sound, and much to the dismay of the students, the record sockhops provided as much fun and relaxation as the âliveâ music did. Whether the kids were kickinâ up their heels on the dance floor, taking a refreshment break, or patiently waiting to be asked for the next dance, they seemed to be enjoying themselves! THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY PUBLIC SERVICE 147 SAMPLES HONORED AS MR. BEETDIGGER 74 Decorations consisting of hourglasses for the theme, âA Time for Us,â and colors of dark and light blue were selected by the Pep Club for their 27th annual Sweet- heart Dance. This was the second year that the higL school cafetorium was used for the March 23rd event. âCrystal Rockâ from Colorado Springs provided music for the dance from 8:30 p.m. until midnight. Re- freshments furnished by the Pep Club members con- sisted of cookies, mints, sandwiches, and punch. Dave Samples was crowned as Mr. Beetdigger by the Pep Club President, Kathy Elling. Attendants Chris Dahlinger, Pete Krohn, and Rick Baker were escorted to the throne by Mary Jane Biggin, head pom pon girl: Patty Pabst, head B-squad cheerleader: and Deb Gnagy, head A-squad cheerleader, respectively. S.E.E.C. GETS THUMPED On April 9, the S.E.E.C. girls challenged the women faculty and the wives of the male faculty to a bas- ketball game. This annual game serves as a money- making project whereby the proceeds send the girls to the State Conven- tion in Denver. The re- mainder of the profit goes toward the S.E.E.C. Schol- orship. Even though the S.E.E.C. girls suffered a 24-12 loss, the game was thoroughly enjoyed by the entire S.E.E.C. organ- ization. 150 G.A.A. HAS PATIO FEAST April 20, G.A.A. held a cookout in the patio section of BHS. Also attending the picnic were the mothers of the G.A.A. members. The outstanding upperclassman award was received by Dawne Hernandez, and, the honor of outstanding member of 1973-74 was shared by Karen Strauch and Barb Wagers. Despite all arguments, school wasnât all work. From lounging in comfortable chairs, to admiring Indian artifacts, to goofing around in the chemistry room, students discovered that school was more than just reading textbooks, and doing assignments. It was enjoying being and learning with new and old friends. THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY EAKERS 153 SPRING The coining of spring, a season normally thought to be humdrum and easy going, didnât slow down ac- tivities within the school. Sports continued in the form of girlsâ and boysâ track and ended by sending nine qualifiers to the state meets, while the golfers participated in one tournament. It was also the time for elections, banquets, the All School Play, and the Jr.-Sr. Prom, and most of the students, faculty, and administration of BHS were kept busy in one way or another. 155 Students and teachers alike need to be away from each other at times. Some subjects seem to be made for being worked on in solitude. When youâre work- ing alone, you can get more homework done. After all. homework is a basic of high school education. Teachers have homework, too, and also need some free time. Like students, though, teachers donât al- ways use their free time to the fullest. 440 YARD RELAY FIFTH AT STATE MEET The 1973-74 track season saw Miss Margaret Moraâs girls team attend numerous meets, primarily in the Welco League, where they performed well and prepared for the state qualifying meet. At that meet, which was held at Roosevelt High in Johnstown, Brush qualified their 440 yard relay team, consisting of Karen Strauch, Wendy Whit- ney, Tonya Norwood, and Kathy Elling by placing third and Barb Wagers in the mile run. The 440 relay team then attended the state meet at Jefferson stadium in Denver placing fifth. MILLER GETS 9 POINTS AT STATE Dennis Miller won the long jump at the state track meet, got fourth in the triple jump, and fifth in the high jump. The Beetdigger senior had all of Brushâs points and the team came in ninth in state. Also competing in the State AA Track Meet for Brush were senior Joe Herrera in the two-mile, sophomore Kory Cornum in the triple jump, and freshman Louie Marez in the mile run. CHARLEYâS AUNT COMES TO BHS April 25 and 26, the Thespian Troupe of BHS presented the comedy play âCharleyâs Auntâ to the public. The action began when Lord Fancourt Babberly, who por- trayed by Tom Mitchell, tried to impersonate Charles Wyke- hamâs aunt from Brazil. Genuine confusion resulted after the real aunt (played by Kerry Hannam) showed up. All worked out in the end with the imposter revealed and the true aunt recognized. Other members of the cast were Tom Mann, Chris Ruebel, Philip Krai, Eric Olsen, Wendy Ruhl, Patty Pabst, Tim Macht, and Marla Boxer. It was directed by Mrs. Eleise Bloom and assisted by Miss Lorraine Young, the prompter, business manager, and the stage crew. IRC AND THESPIANS HOLD SPRING EAT MEETS A group of ten IRC members met at the home of Mr. Dale Krueger on May 16 for a picnic. The evening was spent con- suming good food and roaming the surrounding countryside. WMUi Uiiaiii; iJtV BHS KEEPS TRADITION It is a tradition at BHS to end the year with Student Council elections. As usual a bit of humor was used to liven up the campaign speeches. Although this year new touches were added, such as a streaker in a barrel, a jeanie in a bikini, and one even lost his pants; the audience still thoroughly enjoyed the speech assembly and visited the polls to support their candidate. The campaigns were solemnized the following day when students visited the polls and voted for their candidates. Results of the balloting showed Arnie Anderson as the new president of Student Council, Tom Mann as vice-president, Ted Anderson as secretary, and Cory Kornum as treasurer. 173 MARLENE REIGNS AT JR.-SR. PROM April 20, the Class of â75 presented their Junior-Senior Prom en- titled âPieces of April.â Music was provided by âDaily Planet,â a five-piece group from Denver. Approximately 75 parents and couples witnessed Junior Class President Amie Anderson crown Marlene Schilling as the â74 Prom Queen. Pat Mitchell, Senior Attendant, was crowned by Senior Class Vice-President Dennis Miller, and Ju- nior Attendant Cheryl Wood was crowned by Senior Class President Ron Freund. A red rose was presented to each of the attendants, while Marlene received a dozen red roses. Ellen Bailey and Del Hutcheson were also candidates for queen, while Karen Cox, Brenda Eskew and Nancy Swinson vied for Junior Attendant. 174 CUtt Oj 974 Ruth Rebecca Arroyo Jay Lynn Harryman Patti Jo August Joaeph Lee Herrera Jeanne Ellen Bailey Larry Herrmann Richard SUnley Baker Tanya Rene Hioda Faye I Baidaaaare Allen W Holman Wealey C.
