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!

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

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.
