The year 1987 was full of big decisions for everyone. The Sagebrush staff has left an important decision for you, The Choice is Yours. All through the book you can mark your favorite choice to almost any question that has to do with the school year. We have tried to provide all the necessary in- formation, from people to sports to clubs, to help you make your choice. The one big decision we ask you to make is whether the yearbook is good, great, or just okay. We hope that you think it is as great as we do, but The Choice is Yours!

Student life at BHS can be as exciting as you make it. The number of activities you chose to be in determined the amount of fun you had. Here at BHS, the student life was pretty active in 1986-87. The traditional ceremonies were held, like homecoming, snowball, and Prom. As usual, these ac- tivities were great. Student life was also affected by some new things. The school was inhabited by many new faces including students, five teachers, and a new vice-principal. Some new rules and rewards were also strictly enforced. The rules included the newly posted speed limit in the park- ing lot and, of course, the usual hall pass rule. The new reward was the pat on the back. It was given to students who did something outstanding. After a student col- lected five of these, he she could receive a special prize from Mr. Schiell. There’s water coining in! The annual B dub submarine skit was presented at one of the many pep rallies held throughout the year. The victim this year was Angie Paulsen and the water thrower was Bill McDonald. Student Life 5« El CJ TAAAAITD Everybody got “psyched” up for the ’86-’87 school year. The summer of ’86 proved to be a good summer for most. Many people enjoyed the summer heat by staying outdoors. Others, who may have proved to be the smartest, stayed in- doors to beat the summer heat. This summer there was the Iowa State Wrestling Camp, UCA Cheer Camp, Mesa Girl’s BB Camp, Angelo State The choice is yours!!! Summer was: GREAT!!! □ FINE, Got a Great tan! Boring! | Other 6 Summers University Yearbook Workshop and many more. When most people weren’t too busy with the life of sum- mer they would go enjoy a show, get together with friends, or just sit back and relax. Before too long the school year would start and it would be time to start getting ready for school ac- tivities. The dreaded two a day prac- tices would take up most of their time. For those who weren’t involved with sports, the preparation for the upcoming school year kept them busy enough. Finally, the first day of school arrived and summer fun came to a halt. Everybody started to get “psyched” up for the ’86-’87 school year. Cori Miller, Heath Walters (Ft. Morgan), Erin Aggson (Ft. Morgan), Ann Hutchison, Scott Chartier, and Chyrissa Windolph, travel by train to Michigan for a 4-H exchange.

Homecoming ’86, a fun-filled week that started with a splash on Mon- day with Aloha Safari Day. Others were: Decade of your Choice, Mourning for Eaton, Touch of Class and Digger Day. Classes competed at noon for a $25 prize. Activities at noon were the Sack of Deeds, Balloon Pass, Spoon Pass, Lifesaver Pass and a Tug-a-War. The Freshmen took top honors at noon with the Juniors. Seniors and Sophomores following. Despite rain and cold winds the parade and pep rally were held on Friday. The highlight of the pep ral- ly was a rendition of “Twist and Shout” by Chris Gittings and Chet McBee. After six hours of floa decorating the seniors took first with the freshmen, sophomores and juniors following. The bonfire was cancelled for fear the weather would cause illness. Saturday dawned a beautiful day. The Digger gridders took the field at 1 p.m. During half-time the Brush Band performed and the Homecoming Royalty introduced. Pete Martinez was crowned King and Kristie Mason was crowned Queen. The Diggers defeated the Reds 36-0. The volleyball teams took the floor at 5 p.m. with the freshmen and varsity winning their games against Eaton. The annual Homecoming dance followed the games. The casual affair lasted from 8-11 p.m., with everyone get- ting in the mood with lei’s and beach music. Students made their own choices Homecoming Week '86 while everyone showed their spirit and how to CATCH A WAVE!

Homecoming 9' The Matchmaker Is a Hit This year’s fall play was The Mat- chmaker by Thornton Wilder. In the play Horace Vandergelder (Bryan Schott), a shrewd businessman, is looking for a wife. To achieve this end he hires Mrs. Levi (Tracy Wagers) who is a professional dabbler in others affairs. Along with her, he must con- tend with Ambrose Kemper (Dale Holliday) who wants to marry his niece, Ermengarde (Katie Caughlin). Not only must he deal with this he has to keep his two clerks (Steven Van Ausdall and Jason Meisel) and new ap- prentice (Ian Schott) under thumb. Mrs. Levi has all her scheming come to a hilarious head at the Harmonia Gardens restaurant, and she ends up marrying Horace. The play was directed by Ms. Carl, Mr. Meade, and Mrs. Perry. The Stu- dent Director was Hileigh Friehauf. The crew was Leon McCauley, Gaylon Grippin, Robby Ring, Troy Basnett, Deanne Weiss, Justin Stadler, Colleen Halpen, Mike Hollenbeck, Lori Larsen, Robin Artery, Brian Daugherty, Melinda Pierce, and T. J. Shurigar. The cast was as follows: Vandergelder . . . Mrs. Levi . . . . Tracy Wagers Cornelius Steven Van Ausdall Barnaby Malachi Ermengarde .... . . .

A new fad for this year was “boz cuts,” which got its name from Oklahoma football player, Brian Bozworth. Some of the guys had their head shaved, and some just had the sides cut. A fad for the girls was the banana combs. They came in about every color and went with about everything girls wore. In this section, one can fipd the year’s favorites based on a poll of one-fourth of the student body. There were a few things that remained favorites from last year like “The Cosby Show”. Even though Wendy’s is a new ad- dition to Brush, Pizza Hut still remains the best eating place in Brush according to BHS students. Janelle Keller shows off one of the new fashions this year, the banana comb. • 12 Fads-Fashions Doug Seward changed his look this year, by streaking his hair blond. Madonna had a few top hits this year, and is touring America with her new album. The volleyball players wore a “Scrapper” fashion this season.

For some students, their school days are fill- ed with activities including: pep rallies, dances, and try- ing not to be late for class. Student Council set up a Wednesday cookie break, which lasted for 10 minutes between second and third hours. Students got a glass of juice and a cookie. The Pat-On-The-Back system, a student reward pro- gram, was started also, and it seemed to be favorable with most of the students. If five of these pat-on-the- backs were given to a student, then the student could bring them to the principal for a prize. Janitors are also a part of life in school—they help keep the school clean everyday. The cooks prepare school lunches—whether students eat them or not. Others, like Benny Torrez, keep the students in line in the cafeteria (somebody has-to watch out for the food!) She also washes the athletic towels and uniforms. All of these things combined helped make life in school more enjoyable and memorable for BHS students. Even though many do not think so, there real- ly is life in school!! Mr. and Mrs. Dale Wahlert, parents of senior Mike Wahlert (homecoming candidate), show BHS the way they dance in the 80’s. Larry Lake, Paula Eklund, Doug Seward, and Deanne Weiss work on the award winning senior float for Homecoming. ‘Catch the Wave’ was the theme for the 1986-87tHomecoming. The sophomore’s Homecoming float took third. Frigid temperatures and rain didn't dampen the spirits, at least, of these surfers. 1 14 Life In School What goes on behind half-closed doors? Well, now we know—BHS janitors hard at work doing a super job to improve our high school! Though Mr. Schiell may not be Chef Tel, he’s trying his hand at making an omelet for the honor roll breakfast. Mrs. Milton Tor- mohlen looks on, as one of the helpers from Tormohlen Egg Farm. Kristie Mason and Pete Martinez—Homecoming king and queen—ride in a ’56 Thunderbird driven by Mrs. Howard Wirth in the Homecoming parade. Seniors Derek Moser and Dwayne Schultz enjoy the honor roll breakfast November 19, with Dr. Prascher and two other friends. This was one of the programs started to reward students. Life In School 15 • EZ Time Out!! Hold it! There is life away from school!! At Brush High School, how much life a person has out of school depends on the person. As always the students make the choices. Many students will spend their free time working. Although Brush is a small community, it does have many jobs to offer to teens. Some of the more popular jobs include working at Wendy’s, Pizza Hut or a clerk for a local business. When students aren’t go- ing to school, doing their homework or working, they are usually out on the town with friends. Some of the more popular “hang outs” include Wendy’s, Pizza Hut, the library and more often than not “MAIN”. And when students aren’t with friends on the town they are at home, relaxing and watching T.V. No matter how students spend their time away from school, one thing is for sure . . . THE CHOICE IS YOURS! Stacey Teter spends even- ings and weekends working at Pizza Hut. Quick hands are very neccessary as Stacey shows while making a pizza. Paula Eckland works at Shoes for You and Kids Duds, too! She works with customers of all ages and sizes at this locally owned store. I spend my free time: □ Working □ Watching T.V. I I Dragging Main I 1 Other Many students turn into “couch potatoes” the minute school’s over. Most watch either cartoons or their favorite soap. • 16 Life Out Of School These senior girls enjoy their breakfast at McDonald’s Restaurant. Eating Out! Food, what would we do without it? The restaurants of the area serve not on- ly as places to eat, but places to meet people, study, take a date and as places to relax. For such a small community, Brush has a lot to offer to the hungry person. If a person wants to dine in elegance, the Scotch and Steer is the place to go. Other formal restaurants include Heinrick’s in Ft. Morgan and the Homestead House in Akron. All three receive big business from high schoolers on the nights of Homecoming and Prom. If you’re looking for something a little less formal, there’s Crains, Jesse’s BBQ, Papa Simone’s, Honey Bun Bakery and Drover’s. All offer good, simple meals at low prices. But, when you’re dragging main on a Friday night, Wendy’s is the place to stop! And if no one is there, one can always try Pizza Hut or Tastee-Freez. All offer the junk food teenagers love. If one happens to be in Ft. Morgan he can always stop at Ronald’s (McDonalds) or DQ (Dairy Queen), and there’s always the big AW (A W) These “fine” restaurants serve as meeting places for students from all over Morgan County. No matter what you’re in the mood for, you can find the food to fit your taste and budget. Just always remember: THE CHOICE IS YOURS! OLD FASHIONED HAMBURGERS BIGTEE Wendy’s became a new restaurant in Other popular fast food restaurants in the Brush in the 1986 summer.

Life Out Of School 17 • Brush Scientists: Some of the Best in the State Washington and Morgan Bi-County Science Fair held at Brush, Colorado, was one of the most rewarding for Brush competitors. Many of these young scientists qualified for the State Science Fair held in Fort Collins, Colorado. Derek Moser qualified for the International Science Fair in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with Shawn Gabriel and Andy Bor- chert being chosen as alternates for this prestigious honor. Those who qualified for state were Andy Borchert, Derek Moser, Shawn Gabriel, Brenda VanDonselaar, Dwayne Schultz, Kevin VanDonselaar, Kevin Carlson, Joe Hirschfeld, Dawn Gabriel, and Chris Mills, with Randy Plank serving as alternate. Overall, Brush did best at state, triumphing over 4A, 3A, 2A, and single A competition. Derek Moser and Kevin VanDonselaar both placing first in the engineering field at state with Chris Mills and Shawn Gabriel placing second in engineering and third in physical science, respectively. Some of the things which go into presenting a science fair project include getting an idea, developing that idea in- to an experiment, doing the experiment (sometimes over and over to get accurate results), researching for the pro- ject, writing the report for the project, preparing a speech, and then, the day of the science fair, delivering the speech and explaining the project. Many hours were spent work- ing on these projects which was evident at both the Bi- County and State Science Fairs in which many BHS scien- tists excelled. Sponsors Don Gabriel and David Miner have high hopes for next year’s prospects. • THE EFFECTS JF TT SECTICIDES ON C0A6IILATI0N J mo CLOT RETRACTION Shawn Gabriel, who has qualified for the International Science Fair twice, took third at state. Junior Brenda VanDonselaar qualified for the State Science Fair for her third straight year. Tim Moser, sophomore, shows off his project which won him second place in the botany division at Bi-County. Derek Moser won many awards at the Bi-County Science Fair, the most prestigious—a trip to compete in San Juan, Puerto Rico, for the Interna- tional Science Fair in May. 18 Science Fair Knowledge Bowl Boasts New Sponsor The ’86-’87 school year was a learning and building year for the Knowledge Bowl Team. The team was made up of mostly underclassmen and they had never competed at the high school level. Not only was the team under- experienced, but Mrs. Teter, the club sponsor, was also new this year. Brush competed in four meets in the ’86-’87 school year. A big meet was held in Brush in March. Eight teams participated at this meet. Eaton won first at the meet. Next year Brush hopes to have more investors and they hope to make the knowledge bowl a “letter- ing” system. Some of the members have some ideas to improve the program. Tera Sumner was quoted as saying that she “would like to work on the machines more and be able to work with just the team of four people, not mix them up every week.” The members are hoping to have a better year after gaining experience from this year. Member of the team Lori Larson, sponsor Mrs. Teter, Tera Sumner, Marci Windsheimer, Dwayne Schultz, Andy Borchert, Shawn Gabriel, Jason Meisel, and Tim Moser, met many early mornings for practice. Knowledge Bowl 19 Spring Honors Say Goodbye to Year Approaching the end of school and making the entrance into the glorious, golden days of summer is marked by the spring banquets, elec- tions, and award presentations at BHS. The more memorable of these include Masonic Awards to seniors, FFA and FBLA banquets, and the Student Council elections. The Masonic awards are presented by Brush’s Masonic Lodge to outstanding seniors in different classes. In the past, the awards were only for academic areas, but this year included journalism, auto body, and art. The seventeen recipients were honored at a reception held April 27. For Student officer elections, candidates pro- duce creative skits presented at an all-school assembly. In the elections held April 7-8, can- didates for secretary were freshmen Chris Gun- non and Jeri Hodgson, with Jeri being elected. Treasurer choices included sophomores Tim Moser and Robyn Hutchison, while presidential and vice-presidential possibilities were Chris Garcia, John Gunnon and Tracy Wagers. In close races for all offices, Tim became treasurer, Tracy—vice-president, and Chris—the new stu- dent body president. FFA and FBLA, two of the larger clubs at BHS, held their honors banquets in late April. The FFA ceremonies included speaking on dif- ferent areas of agriculture. Members received awards for recordbooks. Julie Hookom, the State FFA Secretary, spoke and new officers were installed. Future Business Leaders of America also honored their old and new of- ficers. Top club members received pins at the soup and salad dinner. As always, these events reminded students (especially seniors) how close summer was, as they said goodbye to a fun and productive year at BHS. Rockers Steven VanAusdall and Bryan “Paul Schaffer” Schott watch Heath Becker sing the National Anthem with a pop can in his mouth for “Stupid Candidate Tricks” with Chris Gittings as David Letterman. FBLA advisor, Mrs. Charlene Holzworth, presents awards to the four club officers and three state competitors for their outstanding achievements throughout the year. Honor Society members Scott Hernandez, Kristen Garbin and Jake Held join Brenda VanDonselaar in speaking on the four qualities of National Honor Society at its spring banquet. 20 Spring Honors Spring Honors 21 •El At the annual FFA banquet.

Spring Convocation Awards Those Worthy of ‘HONORABLE MENTION’ On May 11 the annual Honors Convocation in honor of outstanding students was held. The honors convocation is to recognize students who throughout the year have shown great quality in their clubs. The new item that was added to the ceremony this year was the Outstanding Freshmen award. This award is to honor freshmen throughout the state who have shown great leadership and academic skills. The first year winners were Lori Larsen and Travis McGee. Also honored in this ceremony were seniors who received scholarships and other students who received academic senior athletic awards and summer scholarships. The following students received summer scholar- ship awards in different special interests: (Front) Marci Windsheimer, Brenda VanDonselaar, Kelli Howison, Kristie Guthrie. (Second row) Robin Artery.

Spring Honors 23 GZI Jury Decides the Outcome of Play Student director Robert Pennington, Director Joanne Carl, and unof- ficial director Greg Krob adjust the spotlight for rehearsal. As American citizens we have the duty to serve on juries when asked to. At BHS, many students and parents had this opportunity when they attended the spring play, You, the Jury, by James Reach. The play was one of the most unusual ever put on by Brush High School because it strayed from comedy and directly in- volved the audience. In this courtroom drama presented on April 30 and May 1, Barbara Scott, played by Marci Windsheimer, was tried for the murder of her employer, Chester Brant. Miss Scott confessed to the crime and it appeared the jury, played by the audience, would return a quick verdict. Allen Woodward, played by Chris Gittings, pro- duced witnesses, including police lieutenant Robert McPherson (Ian Schott), ballistics expert Lewis Rennie (Paul Acosta), housekeeper Gwen- dolyn Kelton (Jill Meisel) and Brant’s fiancee Sheila Vincent (Robin Artery), to testify for the prosecution. As a conviction seemed inevitable, Edith Scott, Barbara’s lawyer and sister, brought for- ward evidence to clear Barbara. Both Barbara’s sister Janice (Angie Paulsen) and elevator operator James Perry (Kevin VanDonselaar) testified that Brant must have been dead before Barbara arrived. Judge Findley, Bryan Schott, summed up the case and asked the audience for their decision. At all three performances, Miss Scott was found innocent. Other characters in- cluded prison matron Mrs. Lake (Tracy Wagers), Miss Carver (Katy Caughlan), bailiff (Larry Lake), clerk (Shawn Gabriel), and stenographer (Stephanie Larsen). Chris Gittings presents his closing remarks for the prosecution to the jury in this case—you! Bryan Schott, Marci Windsheimer, and Lori Larsen discuss the per- formance as Colleen Halpin just finishes makeup for Kevin VanDonselaar. 24 Spring Play Tracy Wagers and Marci Windsheimer wait for cur- tain with nothing more than the usual “opening night nerves.” The best plays are 1 □ dramatic. 1 □ romance. 1 □ eomedy. 1 □ adventure. 1 □ mystery. The witnesses who present information included Kevin Von Donselaar, Paul Acosta, Ian Schott, Angie Paulsen, Robin Artery and Jill Meisel, who wore full makeup. Lori Larsen, Larry Lake and Ian Schott are friends offstage, but their characters argued a lot in court!

What’s in a name? Some intellects may describe a name as a word or group of words an individual or a class of in- dividuals is regularly known by. Many names can be heard anywhere on a regular basis such as Mary or John. Other names are less often heard, such as Tristan or even Moon Zappa. The same goes for team names. Everyone has heard of teams like the Bears, the Tigers, or the Indians. We, at BHS, are more fortunate to have an unique name. As a matter of fact, ESPN cable television production nam- ed the Bru h High School Beetdiggers the second most unique nickname for a sports name. We were only to be topped by the Cairo High School Syrupmakers in Georgia. This contest was started by producer Dennis Deninger to find the most unique, interesting, and bizarre high school mascot in the nation. His staff called state athletic associations, got nominations from coaches, and collected top choices from sportswriters. This staff was determined to leave no names off of their list. From a full file of unique nicknames, our unique mascot was picked second ahead of hundreds of others. One might wonder where such an original name came about. As far as records show, we have been known as the Beetdiggers “forever.” According to Fort Morgan Times’ The biggest state news story was... Roy Romer new Governor Skiers killed by avalanches Hart scandal ends campaign Toxic waste dump looks probable Other □ □ □ □ □ writer Kent Smith, a contest was sponsored to name the Brush High School mascot many, many years ago. As the story goes, a contest was sponsored to find an ap- propriate name and the winner would receive a new car. One student of the school who wanted to play basketball for Brush, but lived too far from town, entered the contest. As you can guess, he was the one to enter the prize-winning name of “Beetdiggers.” He won the car and made the team too! The top ten finalists are as follows: —No. 1, Syrupmakers, Cairo, Georgia —No. 2, Beetdiggers, Brush, Colorado —No. 3, Nimrods, Watersmeet, Michigan —No. 4, Imps, Cary, North Carolina —No. 5, Atom Smashers, Savannah, Georgia —No. 6, Angoras, Clarkston, Georgia —No. 7, Flivers, Kingford, Michigan —No. 8, Squirrels, Winslow, Arkansas —No. 9, Peglegs, Stuyvesant, New York —No. 10, Dots, Poca, West Virginia SPEED LIMIT Colorado was the first state to get all the 65 mph signs up following Congress’ new law. Many people have taken advantage of the new speed limit to travel longer distances faster. News 27• Snowball Dance Strikes Again December 1986 was the second year Brush had a Snowball Dance. This dance was semi-formal, and the girls asked the guys. It was held on December 20, 1986. The admission was $4 per person. For decorations, there were tinsel and ornaments hanging from the ceiling. Silver paper and snowflakes were on the windows to make it look a little more like winter, since it wasn’t snowing. The music was provided by Armadillo Audio from Aurora. There were videos to go along with the music. Those who preferred not to dance, could sit and watch the videos.

Snowball Dance 29 everyone Lights, Music . . . Victorian Soft lights glowed in the distance, a slow song came on and all danced through a Victorian Romance. Prom 1987 was an evening of fun, formalwear, and friendship. Although Prom was on April 26, much of the planning for Prom began months before. The junior class chose a theme, planned and purchased decorations, and worked on invita- tions during October. Prom-goers were greeted by a Vic- torian bridge, complete with street lights. Other decorations included a sparkling chandelier, a flowing foun- tain, white curtains and a multitude of stars. Music was provided by Col- orado Sound and Light. The junior mothers kept everyone satisfied with delightful refreshments. At 10 p.m., the Grand March was held. Bryan Schott served as an- nouncer for the annual event. The cor- onation for royalty followed. Can- didates for Junior Attendants were: Beth Bowling, Stacie Dardanes, Amy Tribbey, Michelle White, Heath Becker, Corey Falligan, Chris Garcia, and David Walkup. Candidates for Romance King and Queen were Mike Doane, Bert Pennell, Mike Wahlert, Patricia Giauque, Ann Hutchison and Bridget Lee. Amy Tribbey, Stacie Dardanes, Heath Becker and David Walkup were crowned attendants. Mike Wahlert was crowned King. He in turn crowned Ann Hutchison as Queen. The royalty dance followed. Professional pictures were offered to Prom-goers. Two 5 x 7’s and four wallets of couples in a Victorian set- ting were offered. As the final dance of the evening played, students prepared to attend parties of their choice. What an evening! Too bad Victorian romances on y comes once in a lifetime. Students dance round and round as the music plays on and on. Over 190 at- tended Prom. Formalwear was a definite, as these students show. The Grand March always keeps everyone looking and wondering .. . who is that guy girl! Mrs. Bill Walkup and Mrs. Daniel Becker enjoy watching everyone at Prom. The junior mothers prepared and served cookies and punch to keep everyone satisfied. 30 Prom Students Fight Against Drunk Driving PROM Students Against Drunk Driv- ing, (SADD), has been an official club at Brush High School for two years now. Co-Presidents Kristen Garbin and Tracy Wagers started the club at BHS. The club was started nationally by Robert Anastas, a hockey coach in Michigan. Students and parents sign a contract stating that each will always find sober, safe transportation home. To promote this attitude, SADD designed a contract for Prom night to encourage students not to drive drunk. A huge contract was made by San- dy Garcia and students attending Prom were asked to sign it. Over 100 students signed the con- tract. As a result, Brush had no drunk-driving accidents the night of Prom. King and Queen for an evening are Ann Hutchison and Mike Wahlert. Sean Gleason and Jill Teter enjoy an evening of fun. Also dancing are Sam England and Denise Vondy. Many hours of work go into decorating. Here David Johnson and Tracy Wagers put some finishing touches on the decorations with a Victorian swing. Prom Threatening weather marks A New Beginning On May 23, beneath threatening clouds of gray, the seniors ended their high school careers. Ninety-two graduates and one ex- change student withstood the cold winds to receive their diplomas. This day marked the beginning of a new life for each person. Graduation ’87 also mark- ed the first time in many years that Brush High School seniors were the first graduates in Morgan County to receive their diplomas. The district mov- ed the commencement ex- ercises to Memorial Day weekend to accomodate more out-of-town visitors. This was a whole week earlier than usual. Commencement exer- cises began at 10 a.m. Music was provided by the BHS Concert Band. They played not only the proces- sional and recessional, but also the Third Suite by Jager, their prize-winning contest piece. The graduates were addressed by fellow classmates Bryan Schott, Lora Hull and Ann Hutchison. Each speaker gave his her perspective on the past 13 years and what the future would hold for the class of ’87. Special recognition was given to Gaylon Grippin as Valedic- torian and Patricia Giauque as Salutatorian. Thirteen honor graduates were recognized as having at 32 Graduation least a 3.5 GPA. Those students wore gold stoles and honor medallions. The preceding were all recogniz- ed by Dr. Ron Prascher. Flowers provided by Park Keller, father of graduate Julianna Keller, as well as the diplomas, were presented by school board members Larry Giauque, father of Patricia; Jerry Hull, father of Lora; and Ken Hutchison, father of Ann. Class president Mike Wahlert, led the class in the ceremonial turning of the tassles. Each graduate then released a helium balloon in the class colors Electric Blue and Feather White. As the class of ’87 cleared the stadium, they began to contemplate their motto: “Nothing we do can change the past, but everything we do changes the future.” Winds kept everyone on their toes. Scott Chartier, Shelly The Brush High School Cumberlin, Jill Meisel and Derek Moser try to stay put Band played during the together as they enter the stadium for graduation. graduation ceremony. Dark clouds and cold wind threatened to end the musical selection early. ' EIT Copyright ’87 sang two selections for Bac- calaureate. Several members of the group are seniors. Seniors chose as junior escorts David Walkup, Joan Radke, Michelle White and Chris Garcia, who wore the class colors Electric Blue and Feather White. Dr. Prascher presents Gaylon Grippin and Patricia Giauque their Valedictorian and Salutatorian awards, respectively. Junior Ushers were Teresa Foltz, Chad Cox, Corey Falligan, Kelly Schreiner, Virgil Griffith, Amy Tribbey, Tracy Wagers and Scott Hernandez. Kelli Howison, an exchange student from New Zealand, also participated in graduation ceremonies. She and Chris Gittings wait in line to get their diplomas. 1,2,3 Sit! Could they do it? Could the class of ’87 all sit down together at their Baccalaureate service? May 22, at 8 p.m. would be the final test. The seniors nervously lined up in the commons area, preparing to enter the gymnasium. Thoughts of sponsor Mr. Sumner criticizing the class the Friday practice before the week echoed in the graduates’ minds. The class entered to the sounds of beautiful music played by Jodi Stewart. An invocation was given by Rev. John Refsell of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church. The mo- ment arrived, and the class of ’87 went through with flying colors. They all sat down together! Rev. Steve Beck of Trinity Baptist Church then address- ed the class of “God’s Tool Box.” The sermon dealt with the essential things needed to survive in life. Copyright ’87 provided entertainment for the evening with vocal selections “Flying Free” and “Like an Eagle.” Rev. Beck also provided the benediction, wishing the class only the best. The seniors once again marched out as thoughts of the following day (graduation) crossed their minds. Once again, they wondered if they would all sit down together . . .

Dana Moser is one of the many seniors who had a fun lesson in child raising (or egg raising) in her family living course. A twin herself, Dana parented twin eggs. There are some things that are not a student’s choice. These are the classes. Everyone is required to take them. The class requirements for graduation are two semesters of science, four semesters of math, two semesters of P.E., one year of business including one semester of typing, and five semesters of social studies (three in the senior year). Through the Class of ’87, English was required all semesters of the first three years and one semester the senior year. The exception to senior English is if a boy has eight or a girl has six vocational credits. In 1988, one extra English semester is required. There are also some fun classes called electives: home ec., business classes, music, journalism, art, auto, and many others. With these classes, the choice is yours. Studying in the counseling area has become a popular pastime for study hall students. Only Doug Seward, Steve Hall, and Sean Warner really know how much studying they got done here. Academics 37 • Major Subjects Required Classes, though many students don’t realize it, are the main focus at any high school. Brush is fortunate to have a wide selection; but there are three major classes which are required for graduation. Two years of math are the most dif- ficult for some people to meet. More English classes are required, four years in all. The exception is boys with eight or girls with six vocational credits before the senior year only had to take one semester their senior year. Social studies is probably the most varied of all requirements. Begin- ning this year, students were required to complete one semester of geography, one year of U.S. history, and one year of senior social studies including American government. Col- leges today are demanding 4 years of English, math through trigonometry, and 3 years of social studies, depending on the school and field of study. Brush is lucky to have many en- thusiastic teachers for these subjects. Even though these classes are not everyone’s favorites, they are impor- tant because they teach knowledge that will be used for a lifetime. Mrs. Lawrence’s junior composition class gathers research materials from the library for their 8-page term paper. A lecture from Social Studies instructor Larry Mills may be filled with some witty side comments. The class enjoyed Bambi Trujillo’s demonstrative speech, especially eating the ice cream sandwiches. 138 Major Class Requirements Holly Swinson is one of the sophomores and freshmen taking Mr. Meade’s algebra class to complete the required credits for math. Heath Becker dreams of days gone by while listening to Larry Helburg, alias ’Rat- tlesnake’, talk to his U.S. History class. Victor Martinez shows how hard he’s thinking, along with the other students in Mr. Krob’s English class. Chris Gunnon, Sissy Gabriel and Lon- nie Kane are members of the freshman class hard at work in world geography. Major Class Requirements 39 First Year Blues EATON ROOSEVELT 0 6 As a student at Brush High School, there are certain minor requirements in order to graduate. The minor class requirements are as follows: Physical Education—one year; Typing—one year; Science—one year. In P.E. there are several units one goes through in the course of the year. The favorite unit of most students is square dancing. Annette Noel commented, “I wish we could square dance everyday.” One also goes through units on basketball, volleyball and weightlifting. Renee Brady said, “Weight lifting is a lot of hard work, but it is fun.” Physical Science deals with an overview of all sciences. Much of the time is spent doing experiments with light rays and chemicals. Science is a hard class, but well worth the effort. Typing is the final required class. At least half a year must be taken by freshmen. The class is a basic teaching of the keyboard. I enjoyed: Square Dancing Typing Science Experiments Other □ □ □ □ Brad Douglass twirls his partner round as Mr. Needens looks on. Square Dancing is one of the favorite units of Pi. Students. Nancy Villarreal, Steve Griffith, Kurtis Trim- back and Gina Guzman make a square. The square dancing unit lasts for a month. Most students enjoy the unit. 40 Minor Requirements Mr. Miner helps students in one of the physical science classes. Freshman science deals mainly with an overview of all kinds of science. One of the favorite units is the elements. Dale Holliday consults a manual while studying for a test. One business class, typing, is a required course for graduation and many people take the course their freshmen year. Minor Requirements 41 Vocational Classes Give Variety Many BHS students find the school day more bearable with a vocational class on their schedule. Vocational classes not only enhance a student’s day, but also provide a good basis and prepare them for life on their own. There is a wide variety of vocational classes ranging from auto mechanics and agriculture, to business, allied health, and electronics. Many of these classes are in- structed at MCC; such as electronics, which gives the stu- dent a basis for a career in electronics. Allied health is also another course which prepares students for job entry skills into one of the several health occupations. Mr. Annan teaches both welding and Ag. Ag teaches the students the basic fundamentals of crop and livestock management. Welding is a class designed to provide the student with techniques in both arc (electric welding) and oxyacetylene. Auto mechanics is a class designed to give the student a basic knowledge of all working parts of the automobile. This class is taught by Mr. Craft. There are many business classes including: business, of- fice education, marketing, and distributive education. These classes were taught by Mrs. Holzworth, Mr. DeLeon, and student teacher Miss Lori Hauer. Vocational classes enlighten and add spice to a stu- dent’s life, while teaching them a very useful trade during their student life at BHS. Several students spend some of their free time pur- chasing goods from the stu- dent store, which is run by the distributive education classes. No, this is not an alien from outer space—it’s Virgil Griffith working on a pro- ject in welding class. Bill McDonald works inten- tively on a three-wheeler in Auto Mechanics. [3 '42 Vocational Classes Special Education Enhances Students Special Education classes, WES (Work Ex- perience and Study), the Perception and or Com- munication class, and Emotional and Behavioral class are designed to meet the individual needs of each student. The students are encouraged to be positive in their work, to go for the goals set by their staffing, and fulfill their needs to the best of their ability. WES, in which the students are placed in jobs commensurate with their abilities, includes training plans and supervisory visits by the instructor. In Perception and or Communication class, each stu- dent is helped on an individualized basis as need- ed. Their classwork is designed to meet their in- dividual needs. These classes have fewer students in them, and that way the students get a more individualized program at BHS. Special classes such as these, help the students to understand their regular classes better and give them help with life beyond high school.

BHS Band director Judy Meisel spends many hours with the band to achieve perfection. Electives End the Monotony Everyone knows the feeling of being bored by the everyday routine of school, but thanks to electives, some of that monotony is broken. Journalism, art, music, home economics and industrial arts are all part of the areas students are allow- ed to choose from. There is a wide variety of subjects a person can choose from, in- cluding sewing, cooking, choir, drafting, band, crafts and agricultural classes. Many of these vocational classes help prepare a student for a career after they graduate. Music, art and journalism give people an opportunity to exhibit lots of talent. FHA, VICA, and FFA are national clubs—related to school classes. Electives are interesting classes which let students have fun and learn together. • 44 Electives Even on windy daye, the BHS band, in- cluding drums and brass sections, per- form to please their audiences. Darkroom manager, Scott Chartier, develops photographs for the jour- nalism staff with apprentice, Greg Gotto. Robby Ring and Peter Martinez sketch one of their projects for drafting, which teaches mechanical drawing skills. Bert Pennell's baby daughter, Janelle, age one year, rests quietly in her hand-made crib for Family Living class. Painting and drawing are some of the project choices art students Mindy Wilson and Pam Mace can work on. Electives 45 • The Choice Is Tours Clubs Hy favorite club at BHS is... □ DECA □ FFA □ FHA □ FORENSICS □ SADD □ Student : Council □ Other Joining clubs at BHS is your choice. The majority of students choose to belong to at least one club throughout the school year. A big variety of clubs exists for the students to par- ticipate in. There are clubs for athletics, public speak- ing, student activities, and many others. In some clubs, there is a requirement for a person to join. For example, to be in B-club, you have to letter in a sport. In the other clubs, anyone who is willing to be ac- tive in the group can join. No matter what you do or what you like, there is a club at BHS for you if you choose to join. Some club like to treat the school to guest speakers. The Money-making projects are very important to clubs at SADD club sponsored Bill Meehan who lectures on drunk BHS. One of the most unique ones is the annual VICA car driving all over the United States. bash held every homecoming.

Good Year Four qualities of a National Honor Society member are service, scholarship, leadership and citizen- ship. Each member is judged by his her teachers on these qualities. Forty-one people held these qualities and become a part of the already large group. Guided by Dr. Prascher and of- ficers Ann Hutchison, president; Joan Radke, vice president; and Shelly Cumberlin, secretary; the group held a pizza party movie at Dr. Prascher’s home, went on a field trip to Denver and held an an- nual banquet. While in Denver the group visited Coors Brewery and Channel 4. The final banquet included in- duction of new members, recogni- tion of past members and installa- tion of officers. Another highlight of the banquet was the presenting of booklets containing every person who had been a member of BHS Honor Society to each member. With over 200 people being at the banquet, it was a very popular event. The members of Honor Society are the students who are involved in all sorts of events. Even though they had little time to share together, they had a Good Year with Honor Society.

SADD tries to influence other students against drinking and driving. Over the year, the club sold key chains and also held a special presentation at which time a nationally known SADD speaker came and spoke to the BHS student body. Clearing House has helped the handicapped students and people in the county. Over the year they have held some parties at the holidays for the local handicapped.

Cheerleaders motivate a crowd, cheer the team on towards victory, and have a fun time in the process. This summer the BHS cheerleaders went to a UCA (Universal Cheerleaders Association) Camp for a week in Ft. Collins at Colorado State University. The cheerleaders learned a lot of cheers and some more pyramids (two peo- ple deep). They also learned some dance routines, which were banned last year, for pep rallies. The new sponsors were Peggy Sheldon and Robyn McBee. Mrs. McBee’s daughter, Ali, was the cheerleaders’ mascot. The head cheerleader for volleyball, football, and basketball was Stacie Dardanes, although she resigned during basketball. Anissa Guzman was the head cheerleader for wrestling. For fund raisers they sold tickets for a cake raffle and they made corsages for the football players’ parents. They gave the football and volleyball players cakes at the pep rally downtown for Homecoming. Anissa Guzman said that she thought the cheerleaders were a lot better than last year, especially with the help that Robyn McBee had given them. The basketball cheerleaders from left to right: Stacie Dardanes, Lisa Rhodes, and Colleen Halpin. Center: Shawna Armstrong. No, you’re not seeing in 3-D, it’s the wrestling cheerleaders—Anissa Guzman, Julianna Keller, and Tam- my Lanphear. • 50 Cheerleaders The fall cheerleaders for 1986-87 school year: Shawna Armstrong, Stacie Dardanes, Tammy Lanphear, Mindy Wirth, Colleen Hatpin, and Julianna Keller. The fall cheerleaders are like the mailman, delivering their “cheer” through snow, sleet, hail or rain; they always come through. Endless hours are spent by BHS cheerleaders in making spirit posters. Here, Colleen Halpin spends a late afternoon creating one. Cheerleaders 51 • May sound easy, but music is HARD WORK! One walks by Room 100, hearing the sound of beautiful music, ranging from Bach to Mozart to AC DC. He can be sure he is at the music room! What lies behind those doors can be sum- med up in two words: HARD WORK! Brush High School offers music classes for almost every type of taste. Each group has its own unique set of qualities and each works to become its very best. The marching band played at every home football game, several basketball games, pep rallies and two competitions. They received first at the Colorado Band Masters Association Regional Contest. The Drum Majors received an outstan- ding award for special corps. The concert band held three concerts and participated in the state competition in Sterling. They received a superior rating. One of the more interesting con- certs was the Music in Our Schools Month (MIOSM) Concert. Outstanding members of the band included 21 students playing in the league concert at Windsor. Five of the 21 held first chair positions. Marci Windschimer, Joan Radke and Jill Meisel each held seats in the CSU Honor Band. The “Grand-Daddy of them All”, All State Band, was held in Fort Collins with Mar- ci Windschelmer holding a seat and Jill Meisel being named alternate. Copyright ’87 sang at the Cavalcade of Music in May in Colorado Springs and won its division. At the same time, the Jazz Band played at both the Mile High Jazz Con- test and the Skyline contest. A lot of work goes into these groups. Each person gives his own addition to the group, sharing the sounds of music. And the beat goes on, as does the work ... all the HARD WORK! The Marching band, which performs at many home eventa, also travels to such competitions as the CBA contest, when they qualify regionally. Flag Girls: Michelle Renken, Deanne Weiss, Trish Giau- que, Jeanette Rasmussen, Anissa Guzman and Jill Meisel. 52 Music § Groups 1987 Band Council: (Back) Lynne Tormohlen, Kristie Mason, Brenda Van Donaelaar, Jill Meiael, Marci Windsheimer.

Here they perform for the Brush Music Club at the Methodist Church. Music Groups 53 EZ1 Cumberlin Elected State Secretary This year the Brush High School DECA chapter had a lot to cheer about. Not only did they have a large number of qualifiers for the annual state leadership conference at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, this was the first year that the chapter brought home awards. Bryan Schott placed fourth overall in the Finance and Credit competency based event (a first ever for Brush) and Shelly Cumberlin was elected to serve as the state secretary for the coming year. She attended the national in New Orleans, Louisiana, in May, as a voting delegate. For the annual projects the club sponsors, they once again put on the Tiny Tot Christmas Shop downtown and a new activity was sponsored: liv- ing mannequins downtown during the Christmas season. The only fund raiser held this year was the selling of Tom-Wat merchan- dise which was used in conjunction with the salesmanship unit taught in the classroom counterpart of the club.

Brush Dramatics Sets New Stage Standards The Brush High School Drama Club had another successful year in play productions under the watchful eye of sponsors Joanne Carl and newcomer Mr. Andrew Meade. They produced the fall play “The Mat- chmaker” by Thornton Wilder and in the spring they put on a play that directly involved the audience: “You, the Jury”. Both of these were big hits for the Brush drama club. The fundraisers were the proceeds from the play, admission prices. As a reward for the hard hours they spent on play production, they attended the Boulder Dinner Playhouse with the Forensics club and saw a production of the famous musical “Cabaret.” Leon McCauley And T.

Brush Forensics Crowns Two District Champions Brush High School Forensics team had the best year in their history, placing four students in finals at various meets. The pace for the year was set by club president Bryan Schott. Bryan placed first in two meets this year, Niwot and Greeley Central, and captured the District 7 Humorous Interpretation championship, qualifying him for his third straight trip to the state forensics tournament. Although he did not qualify for final competition at state, he put the capper on his impressive career by making it all the way to semi-finals at the national qualifying tourna- ment. When asked to sum up his forensics career at Brush, Bryan said: “I felt that it was a very good ex- perience. 1 made some friends through friendly competi- tion that 1 will have for the rest of my life. I’m going to miss the thrill of getting up at four in the morning to compete, though.” Tracy Wagers had a strong showing this year in her first year of Extemperaneous Speaking competition. She qualified for final competition at the Greeley Central speech meet, placing sixth. She got a “one” rating in at least one round at every meet, and ended up second alter- nate to the state forensics tournament at Doherty High School in Colorado Springs. Tera Sumner qualified for final competition at the UNC speech meet, placing seventh, and she ended up sixth alternate to the state tournament in Extemperaneous Speaking. This was also Tera’s first year of competition in this event. It seemed like the year of the newcomer at BHS. Katie Caughlan came out of freshman oblivion to capture the District 7 Poetry Interpretation championship, thereby qualifying her for state competition. A pretty impressive feat for a freshman. Club activities included the yearly ritual of selling candy-grams, attending speech meets and a trip with Drama Club to the Boulder Dinner Playhouse to see “Cabaret.” Forensics 57 FBLA State Qualifiers and their spon- sor attended state contests in Col- orado Springs: Sponsor Mrs.Charlene Holzworth, Scott Chartier, Deanne Weiss, and Patti Phillips.

Enjoying its annual spring banquet in late April were 17 members of the local chapter. They honored hosts of on-the-job training. FBLA Boasts Three State Qualifiers FBLA started out the year with their traditional banana split party as a membership drive. The party, billed as a BYOB (Bring Your Own Banana), encouraged the school to join the club in an ice cream social gathering. In October, FBLA had a fall leadership contest for officers. Their major fund-raiser, selling catolog items, occurred in December. After that the students had enough to go on a field trip to Denver to visit Channel 4 and the State Capitol. FBLA hosted the local competitions here at the high school to qualify students for districts. Then they went to regional competitions in Sterling. April 11-13, the three state qualifiers went to state conference in Colorado Springs. For those considering the benefits of FBLA, Sponsor Mrs. Charlene Holzworth said, “Students join FBLA to get an early start in the business world, and to develop leader- ship in business.” 58 FBLA Member .

The club held their an- nual Thanksgiving dinner for the people at Sunset Manor. This tradition is very important to the peo- ple. It gives them a chance to get out, have a nice din- ner, meet new people, and have a great time. FHA was well represented at the state conference in Denver. Seven members attended the conference at the Mariott Hotel. The week was full of workshops, din- ners and just plain fun. No wonder this club’s members never get bored with all their activities; they don’t have time! FHA 59 FFA Prospers with Activity FFA, Future Farmers of America, pros- pered through the year with outstanding students like Beki Wacker. Beki Wacker was not only President of BHS’s FFA, she served as secretary of the Northeast District Future Farmers of America. Throughout the year, FFA participated in several activities that earned them fun- ding and made them known in the com- munity, such as the selling of Blue Gold sausage in February and March. National FFA week was celebrated February 16th through the 21st. National FFA week is to promote FFA activities to the community and other students. Ac- tivities throughout this week, like a pizza party, going to the state capitol, and the annual “Tractor Day” at school highlighted their week. FFA’s banquet took place on April 22. Many awards were given to the members who performed outstandingly well this year in FFA. Next year’s officers were announc- ed also: Virgil Griffith—President, Bruce Mortenson—Vice-President, Chyrissa Win- dolph—Secretary, Pat Walters— Treasurer, Joe Kendrick—Reporter, and Chad Griffith—Sentinel. As a banquet is the last activity of a club’s year, this ended another successful year for FFA.

Mrs. Wilma Perry, the new foreign language teacher, served as club sponsor. Assisting her were the of- ficers: President—Kristie Mason, Vice President— Robin Artery, Treasurer— Julie Poulignot, and Secretary—Tera Sumner. The club’s first and most successful activity was a Halloween dance and costume party.

Other activities for the club included having secret pals, selling candy grams at Christmas, and planning a dance with the Math and Science Club. Unfortunate- ly, the dance was cancelled because of a very bad snowstorm. The Foreign Language Club also participated in the new Club Member of the Month program. Each member receiving this award was also given a but- ton from the club as a thank-you for all of their hard work. Making choices was a part of the Foreign Language Club’s year. They made a choice to try new things and truly had a great year. B-Club Members Take Charge An active year for B-Club members, the year started out with the annual Homecoming raffle for the game football and volleyball. The day before the homecoming festivities, members of B-Club performed the dreaded submarine skit. They performed this on Freshman, Angie Paulson, who got drenched by Senior Bill McDonald. B-Club officers were President—Mike Wahlert, Vice- President—Kristie Mason, and Secretary Treasurer— Bridget Lee. B-Club’s sponsors for the ’86-87 year were Coaches Leroy Needens and Liz Bitzer. B-Club took part in passing out the sports activity posters to area merchants. To finish off the year, the club had a barbeque and went bowling to add to an eventful B- Club year. They also honored graduating members with a cake reception in May. Underclassmen and juniors in B-Club: (Back) Heath Becker, Chad Foltz, John Gunnon, Scott Guzman (Front) James Grandy.

VICA Perfects Skills VICA had a very successful year under the leadership of Chris Craft, auto mechanics teacher. As fund- raisers, the club held the annual VICA car bash at the homecoming football game where participants were able to live out their fantasies by taking a sledgehammer to a car. They also raf- fled off a hog during the winter months. The annual competition held at NJC was a learning experience for the club, although results were unavailable. When asked how he liked VICA, one member, Bert Pennell, said, “It’s great. I enjoy the club, and you get to refine your skills and prepare for a vocation at the same time.” Archery Targets on Activity Archery is one of the most obscure clubs at BHS. They stay out of the limelight and one doesn’t hear much about them, but one shouldn’t be fooled. This is also one of the most active and demanding clubs BHS sponors. When it is nice outside, the club will be outside shooting at targets, but when the weather turns bad, they spend their time inside making arrows and targets under the watchful eye of club sponsor Terrell Sumner. The club sponsors archery shoot- offs between students and faculty and among community members. So before one writes them off as a non-active club, take another look! VICA-Archery 65 Leadership Honed by Council Activities The school system in America teaches young people information they need to know for life on their own. In the same way, sports can teach fair play, honesty and friendship. Extra-curricular ac- tivities give students the opportunity to hone their talents. The student government organization, Student Council, teaches leadership, responsibility and planning. Brush’s advisors are Mrs. Claire Lawrence and Mr. Greg Krob. The group is also led by student body officers elected every April. Officers for the 1986-87 school year were Patricia Giauque, president; Ann Hutchison, vice- president; Chris Garcia, treasurer and Robyn Hut- chison, secretary. The council is made up of representatives from each first hour class and students who petition in. All of these students work together to make the projects work. Student Council at Brush High School is involv- ed in many school and community activities from canned food drives to keeping the school grounds clean. Every year Student Council runs the homecoming spirit week activities at noon and sponsors several dances. Brush’s council actively participates in the League Student Council. This year the group began running a weekly cookie break on Wednesdays between second and third periods. Brush’s Student Council provides a strong leadership environment in our school while benefit- ting everyone who comes in contact with them.

Here at BHS, we have a variety of people. It is each person’s choice to be the type of person they want to be. Our school has the reputation of having only the greatest students and faculty around. Once again this year, that was true. In this section, you will get the chance to look back at all those wonderful faces that made 1986-87 a special year for everyone. With each picture will come a memory, whether it’s of the teacher that gives tons of homework every Friday or your best friend that got caught T.P.ing the hallway with you. Whatever the memory, the people section of the yearbook is always fun to look at. In ten years, you will probably look back and laugh, but you will always have thafjchoice with the help of your yearbook! | “Left hand blue.” These crazy seniors show everyone at the senior Christmas party how to play Twister; Doug Seward, Lora Hull, Kirk Weimer, Sean Warner, Patricia Giauque, and Kristie Mason were some of the crazies that joined in the fun.

They went to the new center on buses and once they got there, they split up into groups. Each group had a leader who showed them around. They were able to see the rooms where the inmates will be staying. They were explained the process that the inmates have to go through when they first get there. They were also explained the security system and how it works. The inmates have a point system they follow. They get so many points for doing certain things. They use their points to get certain privileges. Some of the privileges are watching television and playing video games. Seniors were able to learn just what it would be like to live under a private detention program. r Bert Pennell spends a lot of his time in the computer lab working for Mr. Bever.

Few would like to stay. But most want to make their last of school memorable. As the ’87 school year comes to a halt many seniors are being struck with the ever-dreaded senioritis. What is senioritis, one may ask? Senior Bill McDonald defined it as “An ac- cumulation of eleven years and six months of school.” Seniors in the past sometimes took a ditch day. Last year the first annual senior ski trip was held. This does not cause as many problems as the ditch day did. Being a senior is a lot of responsibility. Seniors have to be good leaders and make a good im- pression on the underclassmen. By the same token, seniors are ex- pected to pick on and torture freshman. They have to be the first ones off the bus, the first ones out of the auditorium, and they sit in the very back of the bus. If these re- quirements are not met, that senior is not doing his her job. Be patient, juniors . . . senioritis is right around the corner. Pam Mace OECA 3,4; FHA4 Kristie Mason BB Stats 2,3,4; Tr. 2.3; Band C. 3,4; For. Lang.

Some may become famous doctors who may find miracle cures, some may become singers, factory workers, teachers, race car drivers or maybe even the President of the United States. What does the future hold? The definition of future is “a time to be, a time to come.” The future is up to all of us. No one can say what will become of the Class of ’87 . .. the choice is theirs!

Seniors y A Senior Guide After four years at Brush High School, seniors pretty much know the ropes. They know the best ex- cuses and the easy way out. So here are some tips from the senior class of 87 to help all of the underclassmen in years to come: Bill McDonald says to always keep a straight face when stretching facts to teachers. Lora Hull leaves a few reminders: Never volunteer to sit in the front of the class, and never ditch school when the sun is shining! Mike Wahlert believes you should never have study hall when the store is closed; and never let a date know exactly how much money you have.

They are Heath Becker, John Gunnon, and Jake Held. ’88 Gets Closer The ’86-’87 school year brought the class of ’88 to “upperciassmenship.” Here they got respect and had only the seniors to answer to! The Junior Class officers were President, Tracy Wagers; (not pictured); Vice President, Virgil Griffith; and Secretary Treasurer, Kelly Schreiner. Two of their sponsors were Mrs. Margo Mesch; and Mr. George Mussell. Throughout their junior year there are a few things that juniors look forward to. The most rememberable and most expensive project is prom. The juniors get to “treat” the seniors to a night out. Another one of the juniors’ projects was brought about by three juniors. It was get- ting the Pledge of Alligence back in the school. The following is the answer given to the ques- tion, “Why do you do the things you do for America?” It was answered by John Gunnon, Heath Becker, and Jake Held, a few of the “comrades.” “Someone once asked us why we do the things we do for America. We were asked why we were on a ‘kick’ this year about America. It’s because the U.S. is the best. You just have to love this great country of ours . . . How would you like to be in Afghanistan right now, trying to dodge bullets? When you’re in the U.S. you can eat apple pie, drink Coca-Cola, and eat popcorn at a Lakers-Celtics game. One of the things you can do to show your pride to the U.S.A. is say the Pledge of Alligence in school every Monday morning. Also when you’re driving, put a flag out a window to show your patriotism to the Fatherland. Furthermore, if you’re stopped at a track crossing or in back of a lot of cars, put on your bush hat and sunglasses, grab the American flag, and wave it at the cars as you go by, showing everyone what this land of oppor- tunity means to us. When you are feeling down, just remember what a great country this is, and your spirits will soon rise. Always remember, ‘I’d rather be dead than Red!!!’ ” The worst thing about your Junior year was ... “Prom!” says Tracy Wagers. “The fact that Bryan Friehauf is gone to col- lege,” says Kristen Garbin. The best thing about this year was . .. “Prom!” Tracy says again. “Hileigh Friehauf was still here,” says Kristen. Juniors 83 Juniors Prepare for Prom Juniors work hard for prom. They start working on prom their sophomore year, so they can get everything planned and ready to go for next year. Before they can do any ordering, they have to make money. The juniors have three big money making projects: dues, cake raffles, and concessions. The dues were five dollars before Christmas and fifteen dollars after. The juniors baked cakes and raffled them off at the home games. The concessions were the big money makers. The class had to make $1500 before April 25, 1987, to pay for the decorations and the music. The cost of the decorations are about six hundred dollars and the cost of the invitations are a little under two hundred. For the 1987 Junior Senior Prom, plans included a fog machine, a bridge, and a fountain. The Junior class President was Tracy Wagers. She was a big part of the prom’s success. She put four committees together: decorations, clean-up, crowning, and invitations. A lot of hard work is required to prepare for the prom, but it usually is worth the effort. The juniors work very hard, but still find the time to be active in other clubs and sports. 84 Corey Falligan attempts to chug a bottle of pop at one of the winter pep rallies.

As the year progres- sed, Stacy traveled with her attendants to rodeos throughout the state even to Cheyenne Fron- tier Days in Wyoming. Stacy has just one sug- gestion to anyone that wants to try out. “Anyone that is trying out for rodeo queen or attendant is to go to all the clinics available to them.” Ramirez. Raymond Reyes.

I The Junior Class has run concessions several times throughout the sports season. Concessions have also been a big fund raiser for the various classes and clubs. Jolie Larsen said, “It depends on who you work with whether it is fun or bor- ing.” Then there is the more bizarre aspect to working con- cessions. Kristen Garbin said that the worst thing about them is, “We don’t use real butter on the popcorn!” The final comment was quoted from Charity Blake. She said that, “Concessions should be a form of punishment, not a social inlet.” It appeared that concessions were both loved and hated by the class of ’88. The school store got a much needed face-lift this year. Their opening was a success and the students were impressed by the new look.

Pete 88 ’89 Has Hit Sophomore Y ear The class of ’89 hit their sophomore year! And a very exciting year it was indeed. But what does being a sophomore mean? Well, they’re no longer freshmen, but they’re not upperclassmen either. So, it’s the middle year, with classes such as drivers education and biology. Drivers ed. is the big class in which either Mr. Larry Mills or Mr. Terrell Sumner teaches students how to drive. Then there’s biology, in which Mr. Joe Edson takes his victims through things that they’ll never go through again. The ’86-’87 sophomore class was sponsored by Mr. Mills and Mr. Andrew Meade. The class officers were President, Mike Gutierrez; Vice President, Kristie Guthrie; and Secretary Treasurer, Chad Flotz. Sponsors were Mr. Andy Meade and Mr. Larry Mills.

The one that comes to mind is the height differences. The heights range from 6 ft. 7, to 5 feet even. There can be a lot of advantages and disadvan- tages due to these height differences. Some of the advanatges for the skyscrapers include being able to reach high places and appearing more mature. Scott Guzman was quoted as saying: “1 enjoy having people look up to me.” “Everyone is a “low-life” to me,” Greg Gotto was heard saying. And Craig Alexander, 6'1 , said, “Well, you see, 1 can dunk the ball and sky above the little home boys.” But the shrubs of the class have advantages too. They include being able to find clothes that fit and getting into small places. Angie Biernat, 5'1 , said, “At least all the guys are taller than me.” Other short people are glad that they can sneak up on people easier. The disadvantages are just the opposite of each other. The tall people complain because they can’t find clothes big enough, while the short ones get tired of being picked on. Everyone hears names. The tails are called “Daddy Long Legs” or “Too Tall Jones,” while the smalls are called shrimps or midgets. No matter whether the sophomores were tall or short, they all portrayed special personalities which helped make their class a close one. £ Of the Sophomore Class Some of the “tails and smalls” of the 6th hour speech class joined together for an early New Year's Party the day school dismissed for the holidays.

Freshmen Face Daily Dilemmas This year’s freshmen had a traditonal year. It started out with in- itiation week. Freshmen had to sing the school song for any senior that told them to. Plus, at the first pep rally, all freshmen were re- quired to sing the glorious school song in front of the entire school. They were also put through a few other daily dilemmas that they had no control over. For example: Students in seventh hour Freshman Writing Skills may recall Rick Schantz arriving several minutes late after being captured and locked in his locker by a cou- ple of anonymous seniors. Another classic event was at the pep rally when the annual “Submarine Skit” was performed by the B-Club. Freshman Angie Paulsen was chosen for the target at the end of the boat, having no idea of what was about to happen. The Freshman are also responsible for the athletic equipment. They have to make sure that all equipment is loaded on the bus, and reloaded after the game. During basketball all uniforms have to be loaded also. At the first boys basketball game in Berthoud, the freshmen did not get the varsity shorts loaded with the rest of the uniforms. They had to wear the JV shorts. Being a freshman is not all bad, though. The freshmen did really well homecoming week. They took first in many noon time events and second in the float decorating. The freshman year is said to be one of the greatest years of school, probably because you are finally in high school, but the responsiblities haven’t really caught up with you yet.

Competent Choices Lead BHS ’«v J- S Many Brush High School students don’t realize what an im- portant role the faculty plays in the lives of the students. BHS is lucky to have such well-qualified staff members, teachers and ad- ministrators. At the District Office, Brush has two very competent leaders in Superintendent Mr. William T. Weatherill, and Assis- tant Superintendent Dr. Ron Van- Donselaar. In the high school, the building is led by Principal Dr. Ron Prascher, and the new Assistant Principal Mr. Stephen Schiell, who came in the fall from Denver. These and others help to prepare all at BHS for a life outside these walls. (Counterclockwiae from bottom left) Mr. William T.

Counselor Faculty 97 The Choice Is Yours Athletics The most exciting sport in BHS is... □ Baseball □ Basketball □ Football □ Track □ Volleyball □ Wrestling □ Other? � The signal of a champion: As in many Beetdigger sports, a winning signal is often shown at various sporting events. Here. Chad Co is the winner in a wresting match against Ft. Morgan. The athletes take the field, the spectators take their seats. The tension mounts and the game begins. Brush High School offers many sports for the students, from football to basketball to track. Varsity sports offered at Brush for girls include: volleyball, basketball and track. Those offered to boys are: foot- ball, basketball, wrestling, track and baseball. Each sport not only gives the student a chance to compete, it helps the athlete become a leader and form life-long friendships. Brush High School has upheld a tradition of winning, strength and most of all, good sportsmanship. Whether the student plays volleyball, wrestles, or is a cheering fan, one thing is for sure . .. THE CHOICE IS YOURS!! Concentrating on the ball, Lynne Torhmohlen makes a good pass to set up an attack. The Diggers performed well this year, taking second at state with a final record of 21 and 3. Sports 99 • EZi PLAY LIKE CHAMPIONS The Brush Beetdiggers had a very successful season this year. The Dig- gers were ranked 1 in the state, finishing the season with a 9-1 record. Their only loss came at the hands of the eventual state runnerup, the Fort Lupton Bluedevils, in the district playoffs. The strength of the Diggers was in their defense. They only allowed 37 points all season. The league obvious- ly felt the same way as 5 Diggers received all-conference defense honors, with one honorable mention. These players were: Corey Falligan—Linebacker; Virgil Grif- fith—Linebacker; Mike Wahlert— Defensive Back; Bobby Guzman—- Defensive Back; Kirk Weimer— Defensive Line; Elias Mar- tinez—honorable mention Defensive Line. The offense had its great points as well, scoring 251 points. The offense also had its share of offensive stars. It boasted 3 all-conference players with 1 honorable mention. They were: Chris Gittings—offensive tackle; Bill McDonald—offensive tackle; Chris Marez—running back and Brent Weatherill—honorable mention tight end. Rounding out the honors was head coach Larry Mills, sharing the league coaching honors with the Windsor coach, A1 Lear. The Diggers had a few major challenges this season, facing a tough league. One of the major games was one of revenge against the University High Bulldogs, but the game ended up not being much of a challenge as the Diggers won, 20-0. The Diggers’ most emotional game was with the Yuma Indians. Brush and Yuma have been rivals for a very long time. The game was very tense with the league title on the line, but the Diggers emerged victorious with a 20-10 win. The final game of the season for the Diggers proved to be the most challenging. The final score was 7-6 with the Fort Lupton Bluedevils conti- nuing on in state competition. Looking back on the season, the Diggers had a great year. Much of this success was due to the fine coaching of the Brush staff. Along with Coach Mills in his 11th season were Doug Horton—linemen; Steve Ritchie— linemen and defensive ends; Brad Bix- ler—running backs and linebackers; Brad McBee—receivers and defen- sive backs. The 1986 season was truly a fun season. On and off the field, the team worked as one unit, always suppor- ting each other. A lot of hard work was put into the Digger’s season and that spells SUCCESS, which is what the Diggers had! The Best game this season was: Yuma □ University Windsor Other 100 Football Emotion played a big part this season as 55 Chris Gittings shows after the snowy Fort Lupton loss. The offense was very productive this year behind great blocking. 78 Bill McDonald shows this asset to the team against the Yuma Indians. 7 Mike Wahlert, the quarterback, talks with Head Coach Mills over what plays they should use to overcome the University Bulldogs. Bobby Guzman 12 attempts a field goal during a game with rivals the University Bulldogs. The attempt was made after 2 penalties. John Gunnon, 34, makes a desperate attempt to gain a first down during the University game. A win for Diggers put Brush in first place of the Northern Plains League. Aiding John is his teammates 7—Mike Wahlert, 66—Corey Falligan and 44—Chris Marez. New Coach This year the BHS Coaching Staff had a new coach. This coach was different than the other coaches; Peter Martinez was a senior at BHS. Peter was not able to play football due to the CHSAA rule that states if one turns 19 years of age before August 1, one is not eligible to play high school sports. Peter turned 19 July 19. Peter was ill in the 5th grade with hepatitus which set him back a year. The situation was taken to the State Supreme court but they could not change anything. This year he decided to help coach to stay involved and be a part of the team. In prac- tices Peter helped with the younger players and kept the team’s spirit up to help them have good practices. Peter felt this was a very successful year for the ’Diggers’ and a learning experience for himself. Many people admire Peter’s dedica- tion and he will always serve as a role model for other students.

With a team motto such as “scrappers” you know the Digger volleyball team had high hopes. The team had more than high hopes though, they had an awesome team. So awesome, that the team made it all the way to the state tourney. With Ms. Bitzer leading the way, the girls were off to Colorado Spr- ings for their first state playoff game. The Dig- gers met up with Roaring Fork and won 2 of 3 games. Their next shoot-off was at 12 noon on Saturday, against Estes Park. Worried about the outcome, the lady Diggers fell behind, but came back to win both games, sending them twice in two years into the state finals! Being beaten only once out of four games this season, by Platte Valley, the Diggers found that this was their state game matchup! Brush started off leading, but the Broncos came back to win it. The Diggers, never let- ting go, won the second game 15-10, but Platte Valley again won in the final match, making the Diggers second in AA State Volleyball. These trophies show how hard the girls work- ed in 86! Senior player Bridget Lee proudly holds up the plaque after district playoffs, held in Brush against the Gold Diggers of Clear Creek.

Volleyball 105 • GZ1 Girls Connect for a Winning Season The girls’ up and down season, with a lot of twists and exciting games, ended with a 4 point loss to Machebeuf in the pigtail round of districts. By finishing 12-9 this year, they proved that last year’s 13-6 season was no fluke. The lady ’Diggers finished se- cond in the conference behind the State Champion Platte Valley Broncos at sub-districts and received a plaque for their efforts. Bob Bever, the girls’ head coach, reflected upon their many ac- complishments during the season: 1) For the first time ever, they started the season with a two-game winning streak; 2) They beat University for the first time ever on their turf; 3) They played in sub-districts and districts; 4) They beat Yuma in sub-districts; 5) They had only their second winning season ever, finishing 12-9. The best game of the year and one of the best girls’ games ever played by the ’Diggers was the Yuma Sub-District triumph. One thing new the girls tried this year was cybernetics. Cybernetics is the science of communication and control to im- prove shooting percentage. “I believe this worked by helping form shooting, which may have been affected by the adjustment to a smaller ball. 1 feel that a real change in shooting percentage should be noticeable next year,” said Coach Bever. This year BHS produced two girls’ All-Conference basketball players, Sophomore Lynne Tormohlen and Junior Michelle White. Lynne who was also All-State Honorable Mention, was the leading scorer (268 points), leading rebounder (200 total rebounds), and second in assists (60 assists). Michelle was the second leading scorer (239 points), and finished high in all other stats. Ann Hut- chinson, a senior, was the second leading rebounder with 145 re- bounds and was a leader and a morale booster throughout the season. Senior Tracie Likely was the leader in assists (89 assists) and is the career leader in assists with 174 assists while in a ’Dig- ger uniform. Coach Bever says he wishes the lessons of discipline learned in basketball would carry over into each player’s life. With nine returning lettermen, more team experience, and a lot of dedication for learning the skills needed, the team should be very competitive and a challenge for the conference championship in ’87-88 season. Senior Tracie Likely, who set many records this year including most assists (89) in one year, powers her way past the press of a Highland player. 106 Basketball The Best Game Was... □ Yuma—Sub Districts □ University—There | Eaton—There □ Ft.

Tradition Live On! Boys’ Brush Basket- ball team finished the year with a 1 3-8 season. Accomplished with the record was a lot of ex- citing basketball which the Diggers usually pro- duce. The Diggers faltered early on, but as Head Coach Leroy Needens said, “After we defeated Yuma on their home court, it added new life to an ordinary team. We had the poten- tial; all we needed was a little bit more experience in the front court.” Brush’s lack of ex- Sean Warner (42) skies for the opening tip in the pigtail playoff game against Denver Christian. perience in the front court was made up for by its highly experienced back court in two time All Con- ference Guard John Gun- non, Senior two time All Conference Guard Mike Wahlert and Junior Honorable-Mention Guard Corey Falligan. This year John Gunnon led in free throw percen- tage with 78% and also scored his 1,000th point as a varsity player. Senior Mike Wahlert led in field goal percentage with 49% and also led in three other categories: steals, assists, and charges taken. Mike was named the Most Valuable Player for the Dig- gers this year. In the re- bounding department, Junior Chris Garcia led with 142 rebounds. Senior Mike Wahlert noted good play from Chris Gittings, Sean Warner, Rich Rivera, and Brent Weatherill coming off the bench to add to the suc- cess of the Diggers. All of the success was made possible by the great coaching staff. Head coach in his 22nd season was Leroy Needens; along with him were assistant coaches Don Dillehay and George Mussell. The J.V. had another fine season under the coaching of Don Dillehay, who received his 200th career victory. Leading the way for the J.V. in several catagories, including scor- ing, was sophomore post Craig Alexander. A bright point in the “Diggers future” was the freshman squad. Ending the season with a record of 10- 7, the frosh saw good play from the whole team with outstanding members Chris Gunnon and Richard Crall. They led the team in scor- ing and rebounding respectively. The ’86-87 season prov- ed to be a time of winning and rebuilding with bigger and better things in store for the Diggers.

Boys’ Basketball 111 Beetdigger Boosters: Pride in Action No sporting event is complete without a crowd. Brush is fortunate enough to have great fans. Win or lose; rain, snow, or shine; there is always a great fan “club” to sup- port the teams. Starting off the year, the whole town likes to watch the football players in action. Brush is known for having one of the newest and best stadiums in class AA. The school is proud of its stadium just as it is proud of the fans who fill it and the athletes who play in it. Another sport widely regarded by the public is volleyball. Once again, the girls were cheered to a winning season. The crowd cheered them right on to the state finals and felt depressed right along with the girls at their championship loss. The number of winter sports make it hard for everyone to catch everything. The boys’ basketball team played at the same time as the girls, but at different places. The wrestlers often had meets at the same time, too. Each team acquired its own crowds to support them until the end of the season. In sub-district and district basketball, the boys and girls finally came together and a lot of com- posite cheering was done. In the spring, crowds celebrate baseball and track. The crowds don’t change, only their clothing. Out come the shorts and the sunglasses. While yelling for their team, the fans can also get a tan. There is still a lot of enthusiasm for everything the teams do. No matter what the sport is, where or when it is played, the Diggers are always supported by their fans. • 112 Sports Feature A whole bleacherful of people come out to support the baseball team, no matter what the weather is like. These fans cheered the Diggers on to a chilling victory over Yuma. All ages like to support the athletes. Quarterback Mike Wahlert runs through the spirit line while the whole crowd at the game cheers him on. Varsity wrestler Chad Co is shown here breaking down his Platte Valley opponent. F f Young Team Excels on Mats With only one senior on the wrestling squad, the wrestlers did quite well. The varsity wrestlers won five of their nine duels. One of the most exciting matches was when Brush traveled to Eaton and barely won, 27 to 25. All the duels were exciting, and the ones that Brush did lose, could have gone either way as they were very close. Brush surprised many people at districts. Brush could have easily taken seven wrestlers to state in- stead of five. One BHS wrestler, Sam Clem, lost his wrestle back. Pete Ybarra suffered an injury to his ribs, causing him to have to default his next match. The five who did go to state, David Walkup, Chad Cox, Elias Martinez, Troy Almeraz, and Shawn Garret, cer- tainly earned their right to go. The varsity wrestling team had a new head coach, Brad McBee. Mr. Craft was his assistant with the J.V. wrestling team. The next year’s “hopefuls,” the J.V. team, didn’t have a bad season, either. They won five of their eight duels and did excellently at all their invitationals. Although the J.V. wrestlers didn’t have a for- mal district tournament, eight wrestlers attended an end-of-the- year invitational. With all this talent, next year’s team will still be young, but strong as ever. Sam England looks down to see what his next wrestling move will be against this Bronco.

Wrestling 115 BHS Baseball Beginning a New Tradition Twenty-five years after taking part in its last state playoff game, the BHS baseball team celebrated its anniversary right. The team began a great season in late March. They jumped to the top of the league standings by winning 13 games in a row. This streak came to a close after splitting a doubleheader with Eaton. The bad luck continued the next week when the Diggers lost two games to University. Sub-districts began by seeing the Diggers eliminate Highland from the tournament. Brush continued on to pay back University by beating them 3 to 1. The Diggers ended up in second place after los- ing a heartbreaker to Eaton 4 to 7. Still, they would continue to the state playoffs in Denver the next week. Immediately following the graduation ceremonies on May 23, the team left to play Holy Family. Seniors on the team added more ex- citement to their day by winning 8 to 3. Their luck was not meant to continue, though. The next week the Diggers battled the defending state champs, the LaJunta Tigers, right until the last out. Time ran out, and LaJunta came out on top 3 to 1. Though their season ended sooner than they would have liked, the players were happy with their season. This could be the beginn- ing of a winning tradition for baseball which was renewed as a sport at BHS just four years ago. Credit goes also to those who received all-conference: Bobby Guzman—pitcher; Mike Wahlert—shortstop; Jason Mull—catcher; and David Walkup—third base and honorable mention pitcher. Coaches Don Dillehay and Larry Mages talk over their next move in the first round of sub-districts. Brush was behind at this point but came back to win 9-6 over Highland. Michael Gutierrez slides into home plate to score a run for the Diggers. With the help from all the players, the team won this ex- citing game against Highland. 116 Baseball on.

The girl tracksters got off on the right foot, with a first place finish in a triangular at home against league foes Eaton and Platte Valley. In one of the biggest invitationals of the track season, the girls placed fourth place out of 22 teams participating. This was at Brush, also. At the Windsor Triangular with Windsor and Rocky Mountain’s J.V., the Brush girls placed second. Even though a few girl tracksters were gone to take ACT tests, Brush came in fourth place out of 16 teams at Ft. Lupton. Roosevelt, University, and Wind- sor were at the Brush Quadrangular in which the Brush girls took second place to the Wind- sor girls. Brush turned it around at the next meet in Windsor on the 18th of April, when they took first and Windsor girls took second. Brush girls took first again at the Eaton Highland Invitational, even though some of them left early to get ready to go to prom. The girl tracksters might have gotten started off on the right foot, but ended on the wrong foot. At the league meet in Yuma, the girls placed sixth overall. This was due to injuries and sickness, which greatly affected the team. Eaton girls placed first, with Windsor plac- ing second. At the state qualifying meet in Windsor, fortunately, the girls fared a little better, qualifying seven to go to state: Leslie Tor- mohlen, Sandy Caughlan, Bridget Lee, Dana Moser, Lynne Tor- mohlen, Gina Clem, and Kristie Guthrie (as an alternate for the mile relay).

They were Craig Alexander—in the high jump (clearing 5'10 ) Elias Martinez—shot put (not placing) Chris Marez—shot put and discus (not placing) Brent Weatherill—110-meter high hurdles (sixth in his heat) Scott Guzman—long jump (with a jump of 17'6 ) and Paul McMurrin—pole vault. The boys were hampered by injuries that affected them throughout their season. Coach McGee commented, “I hope the boys learned something from all this and will be back next year.” Though no one placed at state, he went on to say that the boys were up against tougher competi- tions than they were used to, giving them a disadvantage. Elias Martinez prepares to throw the shot put.

Grand Junction The state track meet in Grand Junction was the test for the girls, a test to prove that they are among the elite AA schools. They more than passed by placing fourth as a team, and had many outstand- ing individual performances. The boys came close to plac- ing in all events in which they competed in. Senior Leslie Tormohlen gave the team a tremendous boost by setting a personal best in the high jump, skying to 5'5 and a state champion title. Lynne Tormohlen, sophomore, cashed in a se- cond in the long jump, 16'11 , and a third in the 300-meter low hurdles, 46.49 seconds. Senior Sandy Caughlan rounded out the scoring by placing a third in the discus, tossing it 114'4 . Those who qualified for state were: Paul McMurrin, pole vault; Elias Martinez, shot put; Craig Alexander, high jump; Brent Weatherill, 100- meter high hurdles; Chris Marez, shot put and discus; Dana Moser, 3200-meter run; Kristie Guthrie, 1600-meter relay (alternate); Sandy Caughlan, discus and shot put; Bridget Lee, 800-meter run and 1600-meter relay; Leslie Tormohlen, long jump, triple jump, high jump, and 1600-meter relay; Gina Clem, 1600-meter relay; Scott Guz- man, long jump; and Lynne Tormohlen, long jump, 100- meter high hurdles, 300- meter low hurdles, and 1600- meter relay.

Wherever you arc. Cody, we want to tell you how much you are loved and missed bv your family and friends. Your memory will live on forever. God bless you. Cody. We wish to extend our deepest sympathies to Cody's family am!friends. J-Staff Members of the Class of 719 The Choice is Yours A year of decisions came to a close with each student making still more choices. For freshmen, it was perhaps a chance to finally select some elective classes for the sophomore year. They said good-bye to the lack of choices a freshman has—last in the auditorium order, required social studies and English, singing the school song upon request. Sophomores and juniors also enjoyed pre- registering for classes they could really enjoy or would perhaps prepare them for jobs or college beyond school—weighted courses, auto-body or auto mechanics, OJT (on-the-job training) and more. Seniors made the biggest decision—choos- ing the right door to an independent life. Brush High School ... a school with 400 students, grades 9-12, and a Colorado Class A A rank. Many who attended BHS said it was the just-right choice—not too small, yet not too large. BHS students had the choice to select from more than 25 clubs, sports and activities and more than 100 course offerings. So, whatever you made of your own year, the choice was yours! A fond farewell is granted senior B-Ctub members by younge members and Sponsor Coach Liz Bitzer (about to cut the cake). Th year also marked Miss Bitzer’s final BHS season, as she left fo graduate work and coaching at the University of Colorado. With 11 wins and 29 losses, she is BHS’s winningest volleyball coach.
