THE JOURNALISM DEPARTMENT OF BRUSH HIGH SCHOOL, BRUSH, COLORADO, INVITES YOU TO VIEW THE ’74-’75 SCHOOL YEAR AS THEY DID. . . SAGEBRUSH ’75 A NEW BEGINNING CONTENTS Introduction..................................1 The Beginning (Record).......................10 Seniors......................................16 Juniors.......................................36 Underclassmen................................42 Organizations................................54 Honors.......................................78 Athletics....................................86 Memories (Story) ............................94 Fall.........................................96 Winter ......................................130 Spring .....................................158 Conclusion ..................................180 August 26 marked the first day of the 1974-75 school year. As usual students spent their beginning weeks getting rcac- quainted with the teachers and the drudg- eries of sitting in classrooms eight hours a day, five days a week. As the temperatures neared the freez- ing point, the masses were forced in- doors. Many spent the lunch hour chat- ting with friends or playing basketball in the gym. Members of the band and football team once again suited up for the winter sports season and life at BHS returned to near normal. 5 ANEW BEGINNING New experiences . . New romances . . . New activities . .. Wonderful things happen each school year; things that have never happened before and that may never happen again. So many hours of each ones’ life goes into this building, but one seldom realizes how much he takes from here at the same time. It is so very difficult to catch the different moods of the many people and places that will present an interesting picture for all to view. The J-Staff of the year 1974-75 have tried to capture a special treasured moment in everyone's life. If we have succeeded our many hours of labor were well spent; if we have failed, we are sorry. Here is our story. PRASCHER APPRECIATES PARENT’S ATTITUDES I have enjoyed being principal again this year. 1 feel we have an outstanding faculty, staff and student body at Brush High School. One area that has been very helpful is the coopera- tive and congenial attitude demonstrated by parents of high school students. 1 do appreciate this. I am looking forward to a productive school year for all involved in 1975-76. Mr. Ronald Prascher, the principal for the last five years, is one of the major figures that has helped to make BHS the school it has become. He is the one that has made sure that the rules have been followed and carried out. Assisting Mr. Prascher in the above was Mr. John Gotto. Mr. Gotto moved to the Brush High School from Holy Family High School in Denver. 12 School board members for the 1973-74 school year were, Don Mitchell, Allyn Wind, Glenn Swinson, Harold Spade. Mort Boxer, Placido Romero, and Don King. New members were elected May 11th for the 1974-75 year. The new members were, Peggy Guthner, Jim Christensen, and Mark Rich- ards, replacing Mort Boxer, Placido Romero, and Harold Spade.

For the Seniors, it was a year of schoolwork, the filling out of countless applications for work, scholar- ships and college, and other preparations for the years be- yond high school. Heading the Seniors was Nancy Swinson, who filled the office of President. Eric Olsen was the number two man, and Randy Jones filled the position of Secretary-Treasurer. Mrs. Phyllis Woodward and Mr. Tom Woolley sponsored the class. Off to a fast beginning, the Class of ’75 took first place in the Homecoming float competition. This was the second year in a row that they had taken top honors. The Seniors were the guests of honor at the Junior-Sen- ior Prom. “An Old Fashioned Love Song.” held on April 19th. Prom was the first of many activities that marked the beginning of the end for the Class of ’75. The Senior Girl’s Breakfast was held on May 3rd. The year’s events wound up with Baccalaureate on May 25th; then, finally, the Class of ’75 marched d own the aisle to pick up their diplomas on the 27th of May.

The team was plagued by numerous in- juries, with two returning lettermen, senior Gaylcn Bostron, and sophomore, Roger Au- gust out for most of the year.

The team had problems with inexperience, bad weather, and poor practice facilities yet several bright spots shone through. At the freshmen-sophomore district, sophomore Manuel Rocha took first in the 100 yard dash with a time of 10.6, and first in the 220 with 24.5. Abo coming in first was the 880 relay team consisting of Rocha, Bob Brungardt, Chip Bailey, and Kyle Langlois with a 1:41.3 timing. Jeff Mees was second in the triple jump leaping 39’2”, Kirk Small took second in the 60 yard high Hudlcs clocking :9.1, Mike Lebsock’s 5:10.1 mile was good for third, as was Steve Mock’s 2:17.5 880 run. Bill Colburn was the only member to qualify for state at the district meet placing third in the 440. Friday, Colburn made the cut but was eliminated in Saturday’s semifinals. Coach Smart said that he felt in another year and with increased interest the young team could be a solid team. 3RD IN LEAGUE TOURNEY Under the leadership of Miss Margaret Mora during the 74-75 volleyball season, 14 girls fought their way through six league games to arrive at the league tourney. By winning four out of their six league games, both A-squad and B- squad losing to only Julesburg and Wray, the girls received the chance of being number one. At the league tourney, held at Yuma, Brush competed against Wray, Holyoke, and Yuma. Coming home Brush had the 3rd place trophy in their possession.

But the groups inexperience did not hamper their chances to qualify for the State Meet held at Aurora High School May 17. Teams and individuals who participated in the State Relays included the 440 relay team; the 880 relay team; the 880 medley team; Wendy Whitney in 100 yard dash; and Barb Wagers, the mile run. MEMORIES You have already seen the record of all the activities: the ball games, the classes, the plays, the teachers, everything that makes up the regular school day. Now comes the memories. We have divided the school year into seasons—Fall as the morning. Winter as the afternoon, and Spring as the evening. Fall is made the morning because it signifies the beginning of a new school year, just as the morning is the beginning of the day. Winter is the afternoon because it shows the school year in the thick of things. Finally, the Spring is the evening. The evening of the day shows the end of everything, just as this is the end of BHS for the seniors. 95 HERE IT IS. . . DIGGERS STUMBLE IN QUARTER FINALS Hosted at University High for their first win of the quarter finals, the Brush Beetdiggers beat the Bulldogs 26-21. With this win. the Diggers were to host the Salida Spartans for an important game in the quarter finals. With a close score of 22-14, the Beetdiggers suffered a loss which put an end to their drive for state. MEANWHILE, BACK IN THE CLASSROOM The biggest part of school is spent, of course, in the classroom. Athletic and social events do occur during the Fall, but the main base of school life is the learning and teaching experience. But Autumn is only the first phase of what to some may be a very boring and drawn out process called education. Fall includes football, dances, plays, marching bands, floats, and parades, but these events will be dealt with in various parts of this book. This section is devoted entirely to the many faces of academics. The hum-drum, the amusing, the light, the provocative experiences that were all rolled together to make an aver- age school day. 103 To many, four years is a small piece of a lifetime, but when those four years are Freshman through Senior, they take on a special sort of atmosphere. When one enters high school, all one can think of is study- ing. But as the years dwindle down, and one finds oneself faced with leaving the security of friends they’ve known all their life, high school can look very inviting. 105 School may seem somewhat boring, but films, dances, and trips to the refreshment stand helped alleviate the tedious life of higher learn- ing. Often these weren’t enough of a break as the homework piled up as fast as the tumble- weeds. 107 As with any class, a certain amount of studying is needed. Of course, beyond contrary belief, students arc not always the ones who seemed bored with the day’s lessons. Although school may seem boring most of the time, there are some who can find a bit of humor while playing Hide ‘N’ Go Seek with a school photographer. Of course one can also find some pleasure with presenting a bou- quet of roses to a lovely lady, or maybe one would find pleasure in a rousing game of volleyball. PAGE SPONSORED BY “PUBLIC SERVICE CO.” 109 2ND PLACE DIGGERS ENTER STATE With a 9-2-0 record, the Brush Beetdiggers, headed by Coach Don Thomas and assistants, Tim McGlynn, and Larry Mills tied their 1971 record for the most wins.- 18 team and 11 individual records were broken by the Beetdiggers during the 1974 football season. Steve Peterson was not only elected first-team, all-state offensive end, but set a new record with 10 received touchdown passes. Kory Cornum was elected second-team, all-state tackle and honorable mention defensive end. Ran- dy Ncedens was selected all-state safety. He also broke 3 individual records, two for the most touchdowns, and one for the most extra points kicked. Mike Ely was selected second-team running back and linebacker. Voted honorable mention quarterback was John Lynch who broke 3 passing records and 1 running record. John Bass and Bill Colburn, who broke 2 records, were also elected honorable mention. Dave Bowers set a new record in assists. Brush’s J.V.s had a fairly good season record of 4-4-0, fol- lowed by the frosh with 2-3-0 record. These records should acknowledge the fact that the Beet- diggers will still have a good team in years to come. Coach Leroy Needcns, assisted by Terry Christensen, coached the junior varsity and the frosh. GIRLS HAVE 4-2 SEASON Hard work and practice was the formula used by the '74 Volleyball squads. Both the A and B squads had 4 wins and only 2 losses; Wray and Julcsburg being the victors in the latter. After the regular sea- son, the A squad marched off to the league tourna- ment and returned bearing the 3rd place trophy. Barb Wagers was chosen for the All-Star team and Bobbie Holmes received an honorable mention. The coach was Miss Margaret Mora. 115 OPERATION VICTORY: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! “Operation Victory’’ was the theme of the 1974 Homecoming activities, and for the first time in many years a snake dance was staged and a bonfire was lighted on Thursday night before the big game. The game against Wray and the parade were held on Friday, September 26, with the Diggers completely demolishing the Eagles 61-0. A dance was held the following night with music being pro- vided by Black Swan, a band from Denver. Friday afternoon school was dismissed at 2 p.m. for the parade which started from the high school and was led by the class floats to the downtown area. Here the Thespian Club presented a skit in the form of a melodrama. Seniors were the winners of the float competition, with fresh- men second, juniors third, and the sophomores placing fourth. 116 Deb Gnagy and Randy Jones were announced Homecoming Queen and King during halftime festivities of the Friday night foot- ball game, and then attended the dance Saturday evening for the coronation ceremonies. Deb’s attendants were Mary Jane Biggin, Lynn Price, and Cheryl Wood, while Randy was attended by Gaylen Bostron, John Lynch, and Randy Needens. Joan Murphy, president of Pep Club, crowned the King, and Arnie Andersen, Student Council president, crowned the Queen. THE MANY ASPECTS OF HOMECOMING When one thinks of Homecoming, two ma- jor thoughts come to mind: this is the “big” game of the season and BHS’s big chance to whomp the Wray Eagles. But Homecoming stands for much, much more. At BHS it signifies colorful posters plastering the hallways, pep rallies, bonfires, snake dances, marching bands, three laborious but fun filled nights of float building, swaying gowns adorned with shoulder corsages, a roar- ing pep club, demanding coaches, and most important of all, a devoted team which has practiced many long, strenuous hours to put together a winning team. A team that whether they win or they lose, all of Brush proudly proclaims as the Beetdiggers! Yes, that is the true aspect of Homecoming. PEP CLUB STRICKEN BY ULCERS Various emotions were displayed as the Pep Club sup- ported the major sports in the ’74-’75 year. Times of anxiety and stress were replaced by great joy if the game or match was won or by tears if a loss occurred. In between cheering, the girls gave vent to their clogged-up emotions which were caused by a too close game or a near loss by a mat-man. 120 PAGE SPONSORED BY “BIG T FAMILY RESTAURANT” During the warm, sunny days in fall, many stu- dents could be found sitting on the lawn during lunch and after school, while enjoying a bit of so- cial conversation. Also Fall is the season for sports like golf, foot- ball and volleyball, and, of course, there was the Halloween party given by Clearing House for the mentally retarded and handicapped children of the area. HALLOWEEN PROVES INTERESTING . . . The yearly Halloween festivities began with the Clearing House Halloween Party. This party was for various groups from around Ft. Morgan and Brush and also the special education students from Brush. The GAA party started out with a sort of “pot-luck” supper and ended up with the various party games such as bobbing for apples, popping balloons and others. However, not all the Halloween activities were con- fined to the school area. Many BHS students had the time of their lives dodging from the local constables as they egged and soaped their “best-friends” cars. PAGE SPONSORED BY “GAMBLES” 1976 PRESENTS 1776 On Nov. 21st and 22nd the class of '76. under the direction of Mrs. Eleise Bloom and Miss Lorraine Young, presented “1776-And All That.” The cast of the play included: Tom Mitchell. Tim Macht. Roger Brown. Scott Mormon, Jeri Lessman. Barb Sears. Cathy Chrismer, Jeff Dytnond. Mark Blatt, Joe Pyles. Janet Norwood. Rose Mata. Lynn Headley. Patty Pabst. Sue Poulignot. Scott Delong. Kurt Baker, and Bill Holmes. Stage crew, prompter and business manager were: Mike Ely. Scott Delong. Bill Holmes. Kurt Baker. Patty Pabst and Frankie Anderson. The play took place during the 1976 Bicentennial gala cele- bration at the Whitehouse. Meanwhile a small dramatic confron- tation was taking place in heaven. With Voltaire as a guide, the audience was introduced to the complex and diverse personali- ties of George Washington. Thomas Jefferson and King George the III. Through the celestial powers of the great beyond, our heavenly figures were transported to earth, via clock. Upon their earthly arrival, the visitors were greeted with disbelief and amazement. The two entury-old argument between George Washington and George the III, concerning the American Revolution, was solved by a timely remark utter- ed by a common citizen. Homecoming featured several of the same activities expected with the festivity, such as float-decorating, and even a surprise queen candidate, pictured below. Despite the variety of courses offered at BHS, the number one choice was lunch. Nevertheless, when called upon, most students “buckled down” and went to work. WINTER PLEASE, DON’T FEED THE ANIMALS Many elements are essential to life. Among these are air with which to breathe, water with which to drink, and food with which to replenish body defenses. Food is a big part of school life, though many wouldn’t consider it as such. Classes arc given about food, food is served for lunch every school day, at vari- ous times during the year parties are given around food, and almost every club has an end-of-the-year banquet. These pages are devoted to the many faces of food, those who prepare it, and those who consume it. PAGE SPONSORED BY “LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE” 133 Despite all arguments, school wasn’t all work and no play. From decorating classroom doors for Christmas, to watching an amusing pep rally, to participating in the school musical, students discovered that school was more than just reading textbooks and doing assignments; it was enjoying being and learning with old and new friends. 134 WINNIE THE POOH MAKES BRUSH DEBUT Under the directorship of Mrs. Eleisc Bloom and Mr. Cal- vin Harding, “Winnie the Pooh” was presented Feb. 24 and 25. The cast included: Barb SEars as narrator, Chris Rucbcl as Christopher Robin, Roger Brown as Winnie the Pooh, Frankie Anderson as Piglet, Tim Macht as Owl, Arnie Ander- sen as Eeyore, Nancy Swinson as Rabbit, Barb Appenzeller as Kanga, and Mike Lebsock as Roo. Rabbits—L,2, and 3 were Marla Boxer, Rose Mata, and Wendy Ruhl. The Skunk was Chris Cuyler, and other residents of the forest were Glenda Hile, Phil Krai, Vickie Laso, Lorilee Scott, and Lisa Woolley. Along with the cast, various other people and committees weee involved in the production of this play. Joan Murphy and Amy Wahlert handled the publicity while Patty Pabst served as business manager. Conjuring up the 17 costumes required in the play were Nancy Becklcy, Chris Cuyler, Sharon DeLong, Donna Hile, Wendy Ruhl, and Cheryl Wood. Piano accompaniment was provided by Lynn Price, Bec- ky Schilling, Garnet Walter, and Neil Wahlert. Music was by Allan Jay Freedman, with lyrics by A.A. Milne and Kristin Sergei. Along with the performances given Feb. 24 and 25, the play was also presented to the Thomson and Central School students. “Winnie the Pooh” was the second musical to be put on by BHS, the first being “The Feather Duster,” given in the Spring of 73. 137 TROPHIES NUMEROUS FOR GOLFERS Brush golfers competed in four invitationals, and won three first place trophies. The B team, in addition to their five small meets, took part in a large Invitational held in Greeley and won their first trophy which was a third. Team membets also won trophies for their high individual scores at the different meets. DIGGERS DOMINATE DISTRICT Brush once again won a place in the annual State Tour- ney by thoroughly beating the Roosevelt Rough Riders by a score of 82-63 on the 7th of March. This victory extends a home court winning streak of 23 games dating back to January 5, when Haxtun beat Brush by a score of 63-42. This year for the first time, the Brush Beetdiggers were not only led on to victory by the Girls Pep Club, the fans and the parents, but also by the Boys Rah Mob. a DIGGERS RETURN TO DEFEND TITLE After defeating the Roosevelt Rough Riders the week before at District with a score of 82 to 61, the Brush Beetdiggers again returned to the State AA Tournament in Denver to defend their cham- pionship title. The first game proved the Diggers victorious over Canon City Abbey with a score of 80-73. The Diggers winning streak was broken Friday night, March 14, after they suffered a defeat from the Holy Family Tigers with a score of TO- TS. The Diggers then went on to play for the consolation matches Saturday evening against the Del Norte Tigers. 143 After winning their last tournament game against the Del Norte Tigers with a score of 80-64, the Brush Beetdiggers once again brought home another trophy to add to their vast selection. This time it was a third place trophy instead of the first place trophy of last year’s victory. The Glenwood Springs Demons captured the first place seat with Holy Family High School taking home second place. Brush was third followed by Del Norte. As well as coming home third place out of 68 AA high schools, three individuals received honors. John Lynch and Randy Nccdens were named to the All Tourney Team, and John Lynch, Randy Needens, and Steve Peterson were named to the N.E. Conference Basketball Team. Voted by the Varsity Squad, Randy Needens was also named ‘The Most Valuable Player of the Year.” Coach Needens was nominated also in March to possibly coach one of the All Tourney Teams when they play in the fall. 145 WRESTLERS EXPERIENCE HEAVY COMPETITION During the 1974-’75 season, the BHS wrestlers competed in 13 matches, including the District Tournament. According to Mr. Don Gabriel, coach, the Brush grapplers, “wrestled well, considering the many injuries which hand- icapped the team in the District Tournament. With Roger August, 119 lbs., Galyen Bostron, 126 lbs., and Randy Jones, 155 lbs. injured before district, the wrestling line-up had to be realigned, resulting in a varsity team with little experience.” Only Doug Samples went to state at 114 lbs., after taking second place in the Northest- ern District Tournament. 146 MUSIC, SPEECH DEPT. GIVE CHRISTMAS PROGRAM Brush High School Concert Choir, under the direction of Mr. Cal Harding, was accompanied by selected readers from Mr. David Eitemiller’s Speech classes and members of the Select Choir as they publicly performed in the B.H.S. Audi- torium, December 17, 1974. The evening was highlighted by solos by sev- eral participating choir members, and by original compositions written by the Music Theory stu- dents. Adding variety to the musical presentations were the Bible readings by Jeff Dymond, Tim Macht, Rose Mata, and Tom Mitchell. Kerry Han- nam, Wendy Ruhl, and Barb Sears presented a reading entitled, “A Child's Christmas in Wales,” written by Dylan Thomas. Presenting the Christmas program to the public audience, which completely filled the auditorium, not only provided entertainment, but gave the students an opportunity to demonstrate their talents achieved in their music and speech classes. COUNCIL SPONSORS VARIOUS ACTIVITIES Sponsored by Mrs. Claire Lynch, the Stu- dent Council provided many activities and services for the student body. Homecoming was the Council’s first major activity, with a bonfire being held for the first time in many years. In addition to the many dances that the Council sponsored during the year, they also took charge of selecting the Students of the Month. Two firsts were accomplished by the ’74- 75 Student Council. A door decorating con- test was held during December and on Digger Day the First Annual Digger Day Mud Bowl was given. COLOUR MY WORLD SWEETHEART ’75 Sweethearts of B.H.S. were gathered March 22, at the annual Sweetheart Dance sponsored by Pep Club. Approximately 60 couples danced to music provided by a group from Sterling en- titled “Moss.” Decorations were centered around the theme “Colour My World” and consisted of posters and pastel streamers. A mirror globe also re- flected colors from a color wheel below the window. Refreshments were provided by Pep Club and served by Mothers Council. Parents of Mr. Beetdiggcr candidates and others served as spon- sors. The high point of the evening was when Pep Club President Joan Murphy crowned Bob Lusby Mr. Beet- digger 1975. Attendants Randy Needens, Steve Peter- sen, and John Lynch were honored by Cheryl Wood, Head A-Squad Cheerleader, Mary Jane Biggin, Head Pom-Pon girl, and Head B-Squad Cheerleader Deb Eskew.

As with all shore picnics, there were some accidental meetings with water, but all in all everyone had a good time. CLOWNS PLAY AROUND AT B.H.S. On Feb. 6th B-Club, again, sponsored the annual Harlem Clowns vs. Brush Coaches basket- ball game. The Clowns won the game with a score of 93-87 over the Coaches and entertained the audience with jokes among themselves and with spectators. COUNCIL SPONSORED SOCK-HOPS STUDENT ACTIVITIES HELP RELIEVE BORE By the time Spring finally rolls around, school can get pretty boring. To relieve the monotony of day to day life, students joined in many school sponsored ac- tivities, but also used their own ingenuity in making their own fun. DOM OF DAILY ROUTINE SENIORS TAKE FIRST PLACE ON D-DAY The Student Council sponsored Digger Day, held on May 9th. Students participated in a variety of activities, ranging from volleyball and softball to the yo-yo competition and the First Annual Digger Day Mud Bowl. Warm temperatures and student cooperation both helped to make Digger Day for 1975 a suc- cess. Winning the event was the Class of ’75, with the Junior placing second and the Sophomores taking third place. 160 SPRING In class or out of class, by springtime, stu- dents—and teachers, found ways to relieve the boredom that they encountered in every- day school life. Before and after school, at noon, and during P.E., the warmer weather began to attract the student. As classtime paperwork dragged on during class inside BHS, students’ thoughts switched to the outside as they yearned for 3:38 p.m., when they could get out and enjoy the sun. 164 COLBURN GOES TO STATE MAY 16 AND 17 Bill Colburn was the only participant from the Brush High School boys’ track team to qualify for the State AA Relays held at Potts Field in Boulder, Colorado, May 16 and 17. District was held at Yuma, May 10, with Col- burn placing third in the 440 yard dash to qualify him for State. The twenty-four member track team showed a lack of experience during Coach Smarts first year at Brush. He said that with more interest, the next year would cer- tainly be a better one. PAGE SPONSORED BY “VON’S FURNITURE” TWELVE ATTEND THE STATE MEET BUT FAIL TO PLACE The 1975 Girls Track season was brought to a close May 17 with the State Meet at Aurora High School, Aurora, Colo- rado. District was held May 3, at Julesburg with twelve girls qualifying for state and seven placing in the upper five per cent of their events. State qualifiers were Barb Wagers, mile run; Wendy Whitney, 100 yard dash; Karen Strauch, Wendy Whitney, Laurie Reich, and Deb Rocha, 440 yard relay; Janet Norwood, Jeri Winkler, Whitney and Strauch, 880 re- lay; Pam Almarez, Norwood, Strauch, and Whitney, 880 yard medley; and Deb Ybarra, Marlene Kalous, Crystal Langlois, and Gina Hedin, mile relay. According to the girl’s coach Ms. Margaret Mora, “It was a good experience for the girls even if we didn’t make it to the finals.” STUDENTS BULGE WITH FOOD Mmm .. . Mmm .. . good! The end of the 74-75 year was marked by a flurry of banquets and picnics. Stomach areas of many students began to bulge out from partaking of too much rich, exotic, and sometimes, foreign food. Many of the dinners were formal types, with the girls clad in long, floor-length dresses and the male members dressed in suit coats and ties. But picnics were also common, with familiar jeans and shorts showing up. Thespians and Pep Club had their usual formal style banquets with the traditional tears cropping up, as the members bade good- bye to the parting seniors. 172 The Spanish and German classes had their usual end of the year festivities, featuring foods that represented their respec- tive countries. FHA celebrated the ending of the ’74-75 year with a Hawaiian dinner, consisting of authentic Hawaiian dishes. IRC ended their year with a picnic, and the FFA dined royally. End of the year banquets are a favorite pastime and the students of BHS seem to enjoy dining on rich foods. 173 MARK, TED, RUSS AND MIKE Election campaigns for the Student Council of- fices culminated in the annual Campaign Speech Assembly and voting on April 24th. Frankie An- derson, Mark Blatt, Kory Cornum and Tom Mitchell ran for President, and Ted Andersen. Mike Higgins, Lori Kissler and Carter Stinton vied for the office of Vice-President. Candidates for Treasurer were Randy Freund, Jim Mitchell, Russ Schilling and Karen Strauch, while those running for the office of Secretary were Mike Lcbsock, Jean Poulignot and Diana Schott. As happens every year, the campaign speeches were filled with their ususal amounts of hilarity, but the underlying seriousness of the election wasn’t forgotten by the students as they went to the polls. Final tabulations showed that Mark Blatt would be leading the Student Council for the ’75-’76 school year, with Ted Andersen serv- ing as his right hand man. Russ Schilling will be handling all money matters, and Mike Lebsock will be writing the minutes of next year’s meet- ings. The new officers were sworn in at the annual Honors Convocation on May 13th by the retiring officers. WIN ANNUAL ELECTION CAMPAIGNS MURDER, MAYHEM, AND REVENGE COMES TO BHS On April 24th and 25th, Agatha Christie’s play of murder, may- hem, and revenge came to BHS. ‘The Mousetrap,” one of the long- est running, continuous plays in the history of the theatre, was this year’s all-school play. The play’s setting was at Monkswell Manor in England in the midst of a snowstorm. The inhabitants of the guesthouse discover that they all had something in common: they were all prime sus- pects of the murder of Mrs. Mauree.n Lyon. Joan Murphy was cast as Mollie Ralston, the slightly neurotic heroine: Tom Mitchell was her husband; Christopher Wren, a rather odd young man was portrayed by Mike Higgins. Cheryl Wood was Mrs. Boyle, a rather hateful woman, who complains most of the time. Major Metcalf was played by Chris Ruebel, and Diane Schott played the part of Miss Casewell, a rath- er mannish young woman. Mr. Paravicini played by Scott Mor- mon, is the drop-in guest and Mark Blatt played the detective. BRENDA REIGNS AS PROM QUEEN 1975. . . “An Old Fashioned Love Song” was the theme chosen by the Junior Class for the annual Junior-Senior Prom, held on April 19th in the BHS cafeteria. Beginning at 8:00 p.m. the semi-formal affair lasted until 12:00 p.m. “Hurrican Gussie” played for the dance, and decorations consisted of red and pink roses entwined around trellises, two sets of lawn furniture, a Fish pond, bird bath, and a wishing well. The high point of the evening was the coronation of Prom Queen 1975. At 11:00 p.m. Brenda Eskew was crowned Prom Queen by Tom Mitchell. Junior Class President. Nancy Swinson was crowned Senior Attendant by Dave Graves, Junior Class Vice-President, and Janet Norwood was crowned Junior Attendant by Mark Blatt. Other candidates were Amy Wahlert, Lynn Price and Cheryl Wood for Senior At- tendant and Patty Pabst and Don Cox for Junior Attendant.

And what about Santa coming up to the school and visiting us before we left for the Christmas celebration? Where did all the time go? All the Friday and Saturday night activities that were so fun. Oh well, time goes on and it waits for no one, not even Seniors. This was a year to remember; a very unusual and very exciting one. One that involved State Wrestling and State Basketball; banquets and dinners and plays. What a year! 182 CARROLL FORD LINCOLN MERCURY FORD, MERCURY, LINCOLN CARS FORD TRUCKS Harold Stan Gray 415 Edison Street Brush, Colorado MADSEN’S CONOCO SERVICE Bk; Lubrication Batteries 500 Edison 184 Tires Car Wash Accessories Brush INGMIRE INSURANCE AGENCY YOUR K tide pen dent Insurance E AGENT SHVfS YOU FIRST Elton E.
