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

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.
