We hope that this year- book will show you that there are many different ways to sur- vive the school year. Digger Talk, our mini- magazine, is a new and fun way to cover the issues and news dur- ing the year. This includes fads and fashions, summer vacations, and a school survival guide. Also students give personal views and comments on news and growing issues of our school, state and nation. Ads are a yearbook’s major source of income to produce the books. The advertisement of lo- cal businesses is appreciated, so support to the businesses that support our school is needed. 2 OPENING Homecoming ..............4 Plays .............8 Science Fair ............10 StuCo Elections ............11 Snowball Dance ............12 Spring Honors .............14 Prom ............16 Graduation ............18 With “All work and no play make Johnny a dull boy,” so it’s fortunate there is life beyond class to keep us entertained and relaxed. Besides clubs and sports, BHS has many opportunities to get together with friends. According to State Student Council, some Colorado schools have poor attendance at dances, but BHS stamina helped students make successes of the Get-Acquainted Dance through Prom. Without a doubt, student life was nec- essary, as Regina Guzman put it, “ ... to relax a little instead of constantly thinking about homework, and what the next day is going to be like. I look forward to Fridays!” Besides dancing. Digger students have a chance to talk, as Chaz Kingsbury and Vicki England are at the Foreign Language bash, one of many activities held. The shortened initiation week was something for the freshmen to sing about as Melinda Smith, Merrie Galyk and Shanna Cox demonstrate to Senior Virgil Griffith. “BAND-aids” Homecoming Survival “It was like a midnight fantasy!! John Gunnon “Only in My Dreams” fashioned a gorgeous September Homecoming. Colorado Sound and Light supplied the music and special effects, such as fog and bubbles which added excite- ment to the dance. The University Bulldogs provided BHS with more excitement, as they led at halftime, 6-0, with the final score being 20-6, the Diggers over the Bulldogs. According to Chad Foltz, “The dance was cool! Bernie Martinez said, The dance was better than last year and it smelled like pina coladas, Yum!!” Earlier during the week the king and queen candidates were announced as Virgil Griffith, Chris Garcia, Scott Hernandez, and Corey Falligan, Joan Radke, Kelly Schreiner, Michelle White and Kandi Phillips. Royalty was crowned at the football halftime as King Virgil Griffith and Queen Joan Radke. The royal pair was also recognized at the dance. Decorations highlighted the dance with a fountain and 'tons' of stream- ers! Some extra touches were the girls’ shoes which littered the floor! Many people held parties afterwards but safely survived the festivities! Joe Kendrick and Jody Jones dance to the music supplied by Colorado Sound and Light. Scott Hernandez shows his own unique form on a Beetdigger Homecoming kick-off. Celebration of Kelly Schreiner and David Walkup’s last Homecoming included bub- bles and pina colada-scented fog. Tracy Wagers and Stacy Hodgson take a “breather” from all of the excitement at the homecoming dance. Cristy Krueger and Kevin VanDonselaar enjoy a touching moment at the Homecoming dance on Saturday night. Melinda Smith, Kendra Garbin, Tonya Lebsock, Laura Williams, and Jeri Hodgson giggle while sharing their thoughts of homecoming. Homecoming candidates were Front: Kandi Phillips, Joan Radke, Virgil Griffith. Back: Scott Hernandez, Michelle White, Chris Garcia, Corey Falligan, and Kelly Schreiner. Homecoming King and Queen were Virgil Griffith and Joan Radke in the crowning at half- time. Senior Corey Falligan shows his versatility by dancing with foot- ball coach Larry Mills’ wife, Mar- sha, at the dance.

Maroon and Gold Day. Along with the typical noon events, the “Toilet Paper Pass,” Ice-cube Pass, “Bean Pass” and as always, the Class Tug-of-War,” the council add- ed a new event this year, the “Powder Puff Game. It featured the girls from each class in a game of flag football. The Sophomores took first overall, both in noon events and in the float decorating competition. With the help of their powder puff team, the Sophomore class won the 3- way tie for first place in the Home- coming week noon events. Wind whipping their hair and their flags, the Brush Flag Girls step in time as the band plays on. Homecoming week ended on a high note, with the Digger victory over the University Bulldogs followed by a fun evening of dining and danc- ing, as is always a Homecoming tra- dition. New Zealand exchange student Kelli Howison livens up the pep rally with her country’s Mauri war dance. Football coach Larry Mills later commented that she might be used as a new secret weapon.” J. C. Harmon gets the wet end of the deal as the victim of the Homecoming “sub” skit. Mr. Ken Kruetzer and daughter Me- lissa, along with Mrs. Lori Atkin, take part in the parade festivities in downtown Brush. Tommy Rodriquez lets his Digger spirit show through in shining col- ors on Maroon and Gold Day. Mr. Roger Iverson demonstrates to his World Literature class how teachers survive homecoming week — being crazier than the students. Seniors Heath Becker and Mike Coughlin master the art of “bean-passing” during a noon-time event. Surviving... 7 HOMECOMING First Musical Curtains opened to the first musical since 1979 on Thursday, November 19. The musical consisted of 19 tal- ented actors and actresses who worked diligently to make this 2-act play a success. This love story brought tears to many people’s eyes and taught eve- ryone to be proud of who they are and of where they live. The basic story is about an immigrant professor who comes to teach at a school in the United States. He uses engineering principles to coach the losing football team to victory. He falls in love with the dean of the university, which causes a problem when the professor decides to become coach. Another addition to the plot is that two college students become sweet- hearts. in a Decade The songs were sung with enthu- siasm and showed the talent of the music director, Judy Carlson. Almost everyone who attended was delighted with the play in general and the sing- ing talent. Edwin Bricker (Ian Schott) and Susan Piedmont (Katie Caughlan) study en- gineering homework. R. Artery playing Miss Hawkes-Bullock, S. Van Ausdall as Prof. Fodorski, and S. Larsen as the receptionist work at S.B.I.T. The football players; portrayed by P. Acosta, M. Coughlin, and M. Suko, listen to Coach Stockworth, R. Rodriquez. Stage crew T. J. Shurigar, R. Pennington, T. Sundstrom, S. Gabriel, K. Hanson, E. Turner. K. Lundgren, C. Sandifer, R. Hutchison, L. Larsen, R. Russell, M. Windsheimer, J. Radke, J. Kirby, B. Martinez, and R. Rodri- quez act as foreigners coming to America. Surviving... PLAYS “Alas, Othello smothers me with his jealous love,” wails Hileigh Friehauf, as Desdemona, to Juliet (Lori Larsen) in Juliet’s garden, the auditorium stage. Juliet got lots of advice about Romeo when Shakespeare’s ladies, played by Marci Windsheimer, Hileigh Friehauf, Lori Larsen, Robin Artery, Tracy Wagers, and Katie Caughlan, met in the spring play. Ian Schott, Stephanie Larsen, Shawn Kirby, Kristin Lundgren, Travis McGee, and Mike Suko make a lot of noise trying to reconcile the two stubborn brothers in Quiet, Please. Double-Dating little diggers are Stephanie Larsen, David John- son, Lori Chabot, Steven VanAusdall, Robin Artery, Randy Russell, and Chris Sandifer. Laugh Yourself Silly! Laughs could be heard all over town when the Brush drama dub presented An Evening of Comedy on March 17 and 18. The plays were directed by Ms. Joanne Carl and Mr. Paul Young and the student director was Hileigh Friehauf. This production had three separate plays in it: When Shake- speare’s Ladies Meet, Double Date, and Quiet Please. In When Shakespeare’s Ladies Meet, several of Shakespeare’s women who were heroines, come to give Juliet advice about her romance with Romeo, but instead they end up getting advice themselves from Juliet. In Double Date a mix-up between two guys and two girls trying to get dates for a dance leads to big trouble. In Quiet Please two brothers in the Ozark Mountains haven’t talked to each other in ten years. A church minister tries to get them to be friends again, but the person who finally gets them to make up is a pushy sodal worker whose car is broken down. Surviving... PLAYS 9 BHS Sends Two to Internationals! Are you interested in the molecular structure of an arthropod? If you are, a science fair project is for you. A science fair project takes a lot of long hours and hard work. When Brenda VanDonselaar was asked why she put so much time and dedication into her project she replied The projects I do I am interested in. It's personally rewarding.” The fun- niest thing about her project was, “it dealt with cockroaches. They had ba- bies. I didn't expect them to. I taped the cage shut so they wouldn't infest the school. When Jason Meisel was asked why he took a project, he re- plied, “I heard there was money being offered as prizes.’’ Many students carefully planned and worked very hard on their proj- ects. They anticipated what the Bi- County Science fair March 14-15, had in store for them. Brush students did very well in competition at Arickaree. Tim Moser got 1st place in the Mathematics di- vision and placed 2nd overall. His second place finishing at Bi-County enabled him to go to the International Science fair May 8-14 in Knoxville, Tennessee. Others placing at Bi- County included Tera Sumner and Brenda VanDonselaar, who tied for 1st, Chris Mills and Dawn Gabriel. In the junior division, Chad Roark got a first and Melinda Smith and Jeff Got- to also placed. All of them qualified for state, including Sherry Ball, Chaz Kingsbury, Kevin Carlson, and Chad Roark with Jeff Meredith as alternate. The State Science fair was held at Colorado State University, April 7-9. Kevin Carlson got 2nd overall, which also qualified him for a trip to In- ternationals. Dawn Gabriel was first alternate. Brenda VanDonselaar re- ceived honorable mention awards. In the Junior Division, Chad Roark got a 2nd in Junior Earth Sciences. Brenda VanDonselaar listens intently to a judge at the Bi-County Science fair. Brenda went on to qualify for state and earned honorable mention honors. Tim Moser listens as the judge explains an in- tricate part of a mathematical equation used in Tim's project. Tim went on to get 2nd overall at the Bi-County Science Fair. Chris Garcia and David Walkup pound Heath Becker with a pillow' after he incorrectly answered a question on “Pillow Forum.” Caz Bzdek demonstrates his great ability to perform as Pee Wee Herman in Kristie Guthrie’s Student Council skit. Chad Foltz, Kendra Garbin, and Scott Guzman compete in a thrilling and challenging game of “Remote Control” as Caz Bzdek intently watches on. Say Mecka-Lecka-Hi . . . Mike Coughlin tries to draw a picture for his teammates as their opponents try to figure out what he is drawing on a mock episode of “Win, Lose or Draw,” hosted by Robyn Hutchison and Chris Garcia. Cas Bzdek could pass as Pee Wee Herman because he looks like him and acts like him, said Virgil Griffith. The Student Council skits were held Friday, April 12 in the BHS auditorium. Candidates for offices in 1988-89 performed skits to promote their candidacy. Two ran unopposed. Lori Chaboc won secretary; her skit was Win, Lose or Draw. It matched Fawn Hall University against Oliver North University. The next skit was by candi- date for treasurer Dorothy Taven- ner. Her skit was called Pillow Forum. Contestants were asked questions, if they got the question wrong they were hit over the head with a pillow by Virgil Griffith, David Walkup, or Chris Garcia. Tim Moser and Kristie Guth- rie ran against each other for the office of President. Tim’s skit was a parody of MTV’s Remote Control. Three contestants went against each other, answering questions from different chan- nels. Kristie’s skit was “Pee Wee Herman’s Playhouse. Cas Bzdek played Pee Wee, who was per- plexed by the problem of finding a qualified student body pres- ident. Tim withdrew from the race because of material in his skit deemed inappropriate for the oc- casion. Officers of 1988-89 will be secretary, Lori Chabot; treasurer, Dorothy Tavenner; and Presi- dent, Kristie Guthrie. Surviving... STUDENT COUNCIL ELECTIONS 11 Third Snowball is successful as girls and guys have a ... Role Reversal As an opener to Christmas vaca- Gina Guzman invites Marty Torrez to dance 1 with her. tion, the third annual Snowball Dance was held on December 20. The girls took the liberty of asking the guys. The decorations were clear balloons with snowflakes on them, silver snow- flakes, a silver Christmas tree and red, green, and white streamers. The ad- mission cost was $3.00 per person and $5.00 per couple. The music was pro- vided by Colorado Light and Sound. Senior David Walkup commented, “It was fun, and I’m glad I won the Snowball Royalty.” Kristen Ley and Kristie Guthrie agreed the role reversal was a nice change. They said, “The music was good and it was fun to ask the guys.” Chris Gunnon reflects his liking of the music. I had a great time and enjoyed listening to Prince,” he said. Freshman Leslie Guzman com- mented, “It was a good way to start Christmas break.” Bruce Mortensen and Kris Grandy live up their senior year while something else has caught Mike Suko and Janelle Keller’s attention.

SPRING HONORS 15 Everyone’s Dreams Came True in . . . Heaven on Earth. For months beforehand, ’til the night of Saturday, April 23, the jun- iors and seniors of BHS were pre- paring for prom. The dance, which began at 8:30 and lasted 'til mid- night, was long-awaited. The theme, Heaven is a Place on Earth,” was complimented by a commons ceiling covered with hanging stars and streamers. Other decorations included a gazebo and water fountain. The junior class began decorating for prom on Friday afternoon and finished later that night. Music was provided by Rocky Mountain Sound and Light. However, the night did not end, or even begin, with the start of the dance. Many couples went out for dinner and some traveled as far as Greeley and Denver to their favorite restaurants. Following the dance, the senior parents gave a breakfast for everyone at Centennial Manor. From there, many people had their evenings (or rather mornings) fully planned. The Grand March gives everyone a chance to see everyone else dressed for the splendor of prom. Tony Padilla in- troduces his date, Beth Bowling as De- Ann Nichols, Chris Sandifer and Jackie Trujillo look on. People got together to watch movies. “I went to a party. We played pool all night and I got home at a quarter to four,” said junior Kristen Bruce. As always, reactions to the dance were varied, but the weather did co- operate with clear skies. Stacie Dardanes said, “It was the best one, because it was our last prom, the final one we’re going to.” Most students make a whole night of prom with dinner at a nice restaurant like Stacy Hodgson and Jeff Teter did before they reached the dance held at school. Nearly one hundred couples attended the dance whose, theme, “Heaven is a Place on Earth,” was done with hanging stars, a fountain, and gazebo. Junior Attendants: Lynne Tormohlen, Craig Al- exander, Mike Gutierrez, and Chris Law. Prom Night is a time to share fun, food and friends, both during the dance and on into the early morning hours, like David Walkup, Kandi Phillips, Bemie Martinez, and Travis McGee plan to. Prom Royalty: Attendants Kelly Schreiner, Amy Tribbey, Queen Michelle White, King Heath Becker, Attendants Jake Held, Corey Falligan. It’s not hard to find things to talk about when you’re having fun as Mark Ocker, Erica O’Neill, David Albert and Chris Law' show'. Hours of w'ork and planning go into putting on the prom. The juniors decorated from 3:30 ’til nearly 10:00 on Friday night. Only- two hours into the job, Robyn Hutchison, Brent Weatherill, and Bernie Martinez help Chad Foltz hang streamers and balloons. Surviving... PROM 17 After surviving four years of high school, neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, was going to stop the Class of 1988 from saying . . . ‘We’re Finally Graduating!’ A sea of faces filled the gymnasium and overflowed into the hall as the com- munity gathered for the 88th graduation ceremonies on May 21. The program was finally coming together after dif- ficulties in scheduling around the state baseball tournament and a four-day rain which brought the ceremony indoors for only the second time since the stadium was constructed. Baccalaureate, held the night before, found the seniors marching in to a piano selection by Senior Michelle White and the singing of Friends by Senior Brenda VanDonselaar. Invocation was given by the Reverend Dan Pierce of the Church of the Nazerene, who spoke on The Shook-up Generation. Copyright '88 sang Dream a Dream and A Loving Benediction which was accompanied in sign language by Senior Robin Artery and Sophomore Katie Caughlan. Because seven members of the grad- uating class were to play in the state baseball semi-finals the next day, they lined up to receive their diplomas from school board members Don Quinlin and Ken Hutchison at Baccalaureate. Class president and player Virgil Griffith ini- tiated the switching of tassels and at least part of the Class of 1988 had graduated. Because of the week-long rain storms, ironically, the baseball tournament was rescheduled and five of the players chose to participate in Commencement any- way. Pair by pair, seniors entered the packed gym to the well-known Pomp and Circumstance.” Senior graduation speakers Stacie Dardanes, Tracy Wagers and Marci Windsheimer spoke of hopes, dares and dreams for the future. Valedictorian and salutatorian awards were presented by Dr. Prascher. Twenty-two Honor Society members were indicated by their light blue tassels and 17 honor graduates (those students having 3.5 or above grade averages) were marked by gold stoles and received honor medallions. Superintendent W. T. Weatherill spoke on the special qualities of the Class of '88. Each row of seniors then rose to finally receive their diplomas. Class pres- ident Griffith led the graduates in changing their tassels. Afterward, grad- uates gathered in the commons to return their gowns, be photographed and pro- ceed to the parties held with their fami- lies and friends. Contrasting colors told more than one would think about the different feelings evident on the faces of many seniors during Baccalaureate. To- morrow at this time they’d be out on their own. Hard work made it possible for Rob Kauk and Kristen Garbin to get awards as class salu- tatori ans. Freedom came early for baseball players David Walkup, Jake Held, Virgil Griffith, Sean Gleason, Corey Falligan, Pete Coronado, and Heath Becker as they wait to receive their di- plomas at Baccalaureate from Don Quinlan. Dr. Ron Prascher presents the last of the valedictorian awards to Marci Windsheimer. Tracy Wagers and Joan Radke watch along with other near-graduates under a sea of hats. l A smile of excitement and pleasure is clearly visible on Dea Greenwood’s face as she clasps her diploma. Laura Mc- Cauley and Ross Smith are next to be presented theirs. Difficulties in previous years resulted in there only being four couples of ushers: Chad Foltz, Shawna Blake, Michael Gutierrez, Kristie Guthrie, Cori Miller, Scott Guzman, Lynne Tormohlen, Craig Alexander. Without a trace of nervousness showing Stacie Dardanes speaks in a clear voice, urging her classmates to stay young at heart. No one could say the Class of ’88 didn’t aspire to individualism after seeing the many messages, nick- names and designs adorning caps like the one here. Surviving... 19 GRADUATION Believe it or not, a sea of faces actually did fill the gymnasium as nearly two thousand attended the Sat- urday morning ceremony. Band director Judy Meisel guides her musicians through a difficult piece. Pensive expressions on the faces of Robin Ar- tery, David Johnson, Jaylene Copley and Jeff Moreland did not neces- sarily tell their feelings about finally graduating. Ninety-two graduates of the Class of 1988 gather for a final group portrait before they set off for new lives. The song “Friends” being sung by Brenda VanDonselaar well-portrayed the close relation- ships many students had made over four years of high school. Under the direction of Judy Carlson and accompanied by Lori Larsen at the piano, the Copyright choir entertains for Baccalaureate services. 1. Every year you have to survive the level you are in, whether it is your freshman or senior year. The faculty also has to survive a year with new students and associates. Yet, nearly everyone survives the high school life. There is no record at BHS of a freshman fatality from initiation. The sophomores are just shadows in the halls laughing at the freshmen, but not saying too much. The juniors survive the prom preparations. The seniors also survive the pressures of grad- uation. Whatever the challenge, good and bad times exist in every year. Seniors Virgil Griffith and Verna Rogers show off their togas. It is a tradition of every senior class to wear togas during one spirit week day. New office secretary, Joyce Friehauf, survives by working at the computers. Seniors . .22 Faculty . .32 Juniors . .34 Sophomores . .40 Freshmen . .46 21 That was Then, This is Now . . . Remember the first day of kindergarten? All of those new faces and new places. Who would have ever thought you’d someday be facing your last day? All of those first day jitters would be relieved. Twelve years have gone by so fast. The time arrived for senior pictures, graduation announcements to be ordered, and facing the world on one’s own. When asked about thoughts of graduation, senior Jenny Cadwalader said, “It seems like just last year I was a freshman. It’s really excit- ing, but yet it’s scary!” Pete Ybarra commented, “It’s scary and weird to think you’re going out on your own.” According to Nicole Wolever, “It’s a long awaited time and it’s scary, but once I’m out on my own, it’ll be exciting!” Joan Radke said, “I’m ready for high school to be over with, but when I’m gone. I’m going to wish I was back in school.” Jake Held said, “I’ve wait- ed 12 years and it’s going to be exciting, but scary out there. No one will be there to wash my clothes or cook for me.” “I’m ready! It’s about time. I’m ready to get out on my own!” stated Chad Cox. So, all in all, the seniors were excited to be graduating, but faced a frightening, un- certain future. Graduation commence- ments were May 21, 1988. Seniors chose Cardinal Red and Feather White for their colors, and the rose for the class flower. The class motto was “Life is like a field of snow, every step you take will show ” “The best thing about my senior year was all of the parties. The worst thing is that 1 have to leave.” Stacie Dardanes Seniors hold special mem- last regard to the seniors, as ories and an important role in they move on, don’t forget what the future brings. As a those old faces and old places! Trying to help Shaw n Garrett make the most of his height, Mr. Terrell Sumner measures him for his graduation gown. Seniors chose their class colors, motto and announcements in November. Senior class officers and sponsors: Pres- ident Virgil Griffith, Secretary Kelly Schreiner, Sponsors Joanne Carl and Terrell Sumner.

Out of 99 in the senior class, 55% said they planned to attend a college or trade school, 40% said they had had enough of the academic life, and 5% were un- decided as to future plans.

Two’s, three’s, four’s, one-eyed cards and suicide kings are wild. You look over your cards at your op- ponents. They are sweating just as much as you are. There’s eight dollars in the pot, and if you stay in and lose, you have to double it. You glance down at your hand; you have four jacks. It’s risky but you decide to stay in. You hope that everyone goes out so you only have to beat the dummy hand. The count goes up 1 . . . 2 ... 3. Everyone drops their cards except for you and your old nem- esis, Joe Bloe. You lay down your jacks with a grin on your face and reach for the pot. Joe looks disappointed but then says, Wait. He lays down four kings. Everyone starts laughing and yelling as you fight back a tear. But, you'll have another chance. You look over your cards at your opponents. They are sweating just as much as you are. There’s sixteen dollars in the pot Many of the seniors enjoy the thrill of vic- tory, but usually feel the agony of defeat when they play poker. These events are held whenever enough people can get together to play. Some- times the games are pen- ny ante, but more than likely the stakes become higher. Several comments are heard at these gather- ings: You might want to look at your hand twice before you make a decision;” I don't know. Just wait a min- ute, let me decide;” No way! I was in! I said I was in!” Surviving... SENIORS 27 Kandi Phillips FBLA 3,4; FHA 4; Choir 1; Home. Q. Cand.; SnB. Cand. 4; SnB. Q. 4 Patti Phillips FBLA 3,4 Joan Radke BB 1,2,3; BB Stat 4; B. Coun. 4; Cl.

Skiing New for Most Seniors It was all right, but where were the Moguls???” asked Scott Hernandez as he re- turned from the third annual Senior Ski Trip. The ski trip was Friday, March 25, at Estes Park's Hidden Valley. Ninety-two seniors attended, along with seven sponsors, including Mrs. Thruston, Mr. Chris Kraft, Mr. Terrell Sumner, Ms. JoAnn Carl, Mrs. Jim Dardanes, Mr. Steve Scheill, and Dr. Ronald Prascher. At least eighty percent of the stu- dents had never before skied, providing some amusing sit- uations. All were required to take lessons, whether they were first-time skiers or ex- perienced skiers. Many seniors thought it was a lot of fun. JoAnn Bailey said, “I had a lot of fun, but it was cold and my hair froze. The classes will really enjoy it in the future.” The class members of 1988 feel they are 1 skiers after a great day on the slopes.

School Gets Good Grades Just how good a school is BHS? The North Central Evaluation Committee came in December to evaluate our school. The committee evaluated three things: the computer systems, school and community communication, and school climate. They'll be back two more years to evaluate academic areas. Mr. Greg Krob said, They were very impressed about the school climate, and the school and community communi- cation. ” He quoted the evaluators by saying, “The school needs more com- puters so they will be more available for students. When asked about how the faculty did overall, Mr. Krob said, The whole staff did a good job, and the committee gave a good idea of the things the school has to work on.” Mrs. Amy Ely said, “It opened the district’s eyes to the availability of com- puters to students at BHS.” Brush School District RE-2J's Board members also concerned themselves with readjustment of grades, as the Brush Junior High made its gradual transition into a grade 6-8 middle school. They agreed to an administrative rec- ommendation to move the 3rd grade to Central Elementary school in the fall of 1988. The Central school kinder- garteners were to be moved to Thomp- son. All these decisions resulted because of the move of the sixth grade to the junior high.

Juniors Prepare for Prom Like always, the enthusiastic juniors were planning and decorating for the “prom of the century”. This year, however, there was a change from the past. The prom committee made a solemn promise that the theme and colors for the dance would not leave their mouths. Thus, the night would be a surprise for everyone. Ranging from sports to academics, the junior class was full of talented people. There were six junior girls who lettered in volleyball and eleven junior guys who lettered in football. Being an upperclassmen was a wonderful experience for many of the juniors. “Don’t get over-involved in your activities, or else you’ll never have any time for yourself,” was Robyn Hutch- inson’s advice to upcoming juniors. The junior year is when many students hold class offices and club positions, but this can really affect one’s schoolwork. Homework became a more com- mon event for many juniors who took weighted classes. But, it hasn’t killed anyone yet.

This year the lunch break was shortened from 40 minutes to 30 minutes. Many students feel this rushes their system, so they do not eat lunch.

In order to make prom as good as possible juniors sell concessions at every home football game. Some of the reasons for selling concessions are to earn money for different activities. Clubs like Math Science, El- club, Band and all of the classes sell concessions at one time or another. We asked some juniors what they liked the most and the least about working con- cessions, and they said . . . Nancy Villereal said, “1 liked metting people but I hated the half-time rush. Junior Russel Rodriquez said, The best thing about working concessions was that I was able to get away from home, the worst thing was the half-time rush.” Holly Swin- son said, “The best thing is getting all of the money and the worst thing was cleaning up, and Tara Marquardt said, The best thing was see- ing all of the cute guys and the worst thing was cleaning up the ketchup bottles.” The concession stand is a good money making project that can help almost any club or class make the money needed for activities. The con- cession stand is also a good place for Digger fans to re- lieve their thirst and hungers.

It wasn’t only in the sophomores’ dreams that they placed first with their float for the annual Homecoming parade downtown. Surviving the Sophomore Year The horrendous Freshman year over, sophomores were on to bigger and better things. The Class of ’90 had more students than any other class, so they easily won the Homecoming week noon-time activities. The class also took First place with their float. Being a sophomore definitely had its advantages and disadvantages, like getting a driver’s license, ordering class rings and not being a “frosh”! Taking biology and geometry were fun for some, but others barely survived them. Also, the seniors never let anyone forget that a sophomore is still an underclassman. Whatever the case may be, sophomores still had two years left to live up their high school years. Many people say that your sophomore year is like being “stuck in a rut”, because high school is no longer shiny and new, but you don’t have the privileges of upperclassmen. For the Class of ’90 these days in high school will be over sooner than they think, but they’ll have survived it . . . through a lot of hard work.

Surviving... 44 SOPHOMORES Year of the Ring Class of '90 sophomores carried on the tradition of buy- ing class rings. The sophomore year is great; besides the rings, most of the kids get their driv- er’s license, they’re no longer called little freshman, or has- sled by seniors. But getting the class ring signifies being a sophomore. There are many different reasons for getting the class rings but these are a few of the most popular: To show class spirit, to have something to remember high school by, to give to your girl- friend or boyfriend, or even just to look good: So, the class ring is very popular. One of the best days at school is the day you get your class ring. Everyone goes around taking off the ring to show all friends or even com- paring them with someone’s whom he she doesn't like. Some of the kids can't wear the ring for about two weeks because that first day they take it on and off so much that their finger gets swollen. The class ring is not only used to signify class spirit but it is also used to show what couples are together. For instance, when a guy gives his girlfriend a ring, chat’s kind of a warning sign for the rest of the guys to keep away from his “woman’’ and if they don’t keep away, they’re probably “gonna get hurt.’’ So, as one can see there are many different reasons to buy the class ring, but what ever the reason most students buy a class ring. Ring Rationale Robin Artery didn’t buy a class ring because she had a choice between a synthe- sizer and a ring; she chose a synthesizer. Tracy Wagers didn’t buy one because she didn’t want to spend that much money on something she was only going to wear for 3 years. Heath Becker didn’t buy one because he didn't want all the girls to fight over who got to wear it. He thought it would be pretty messy. Michelle Heagney bought a class ring to show class spirit, and to give to that special guy. She also pointed out that she bought her class ring as a freshmen, just to be dif- ferent. Kevin Radke bought his ring because he wanted a memory of his high school glory days. Mark Lindell bought his simply because it makes him look flashy, like Mr. T. Kristi Schreiner bought hers to show school spirit, and to give to her boy- friend Michael Coughlin. Surviving... 45 SOPHOMORES Open campus and homecoming activities make a . . . Fun Freshman Year For the freshmen, their first year of high school looked as if it would be a long year. They started out the first day by being handed a Digger Guide by the first senior that they came into contact with and were told to sing the school song. They also had to deal with all of their required classes such as science, World Geography, Consumer Business, and typing. They enjoyed many privileges that they had not before, such as open campus. They also enjoyed participating in home- coming activities, even though they didn’t do too well. Many people say that their freshman year is the most fun year of high school. Many of them may not have felt that way at the beginning, but they will look back upon those days as worry-free and fun-filled. Freshmen, new teachers, and new students join in on our school song at the opening pep assembly.

Some of the best ones might give the teacher a good laugh, but probably wouldn’t excuse the student’s tardy. Others are “old stand-bys” that would only work perhaps the first time. Most students blame the faculty with excuses such as; “My locker wouldn’t open, so I had to get a janitor to open it for me,” or “I had a message in the office.” For the person that likes to sleep late there is; “My car wouldn’t start.” The following are some of the wilder excuses, James Grandy was quoted as saying, “I was getting mugged in the school store.” The people who don’t like the speed bumps might use: The speed bumps slowed me down too much.

Videos In the movie, Flight of the Navigator, a boy accidently transported forward in time sees TV with people dancing around singing in funny clothes and wild hair. “What in the world is this? he won- ders. As any American teenagers of the 1980s knew — this strange program was music television or videos”. Music television became very pop- ular; MTV broadcast only videos. These videos were done for the majority of pop and rock songs produced. Each clip, from three to five minutes in length, portrayed the musi- cian’s interpretation of his or her song. No matter what the sing- er’s intention in writing the song, music videos were fun to watch. Because shows like MTV were on late at night, they provided entertainment for sleepless nights. You get to see the bands and how the bands view their songs,” said Hileigh Friehauf. Scott Hernandez liked watching MTV because, When there’s nothing else to do you can just flip it on and it’s like listening to the ra- dio.” MTV and other music video shows brought artists like George Michaels and Tina Turner into our homes, even if they did seem “weird” to some people. From the Past The big musical hits are often closely tied to hit mov- ies, so it wasn’t surprising when many songs of the 50’s and 60’s hit the top ten again. You Don’t Say? During the school year our working minds managed to come up with a few strange, but funny expressions. Al- though many of the teachers and the parents did not un- derstand what we were say- ing, the students knew. Expressions like “I know, huh? were just said for fun. Another popular one was things happen”. Two very common selec- tions were I can't know how” and 'T can’t be both- ered”. These were used to ex- press the laziness of some stu- Surviving... 50 MINT-MAG dents, when they didn’t feel like doing anything. If some- one did not know how to do something, they would simply say, “I can’t know how” and “set it aside”. Seeing each other” meant you were dating someone. Words like cool,” hot”, wild” and “radical” de- scribed clothes, songs, people or other things we liked. This kind of slang changed each year, but made our con- versatons more vivid and ex- citing. Many movies came out with remakes of former popular songs, like ‘‘Twist and Shout”- from Ferris Bue ler's Day Off and La Bamba from the movie by the same name. Not only songs, but also public figures of this era, en- joyed renewed popularity. Madonna adopted an image of Marilyn Monroe with both the clothing and hairstyles she wore. One rock and roller of the 1950’s, Ritchie Valens became even more well- known than when he first hit. The movie La Bamba, which told the story of Ritchie’s rise to fame and his death in the same plane crash which killed Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper, was immensely pop- ular. Songs like this and Billy Idol’s remake of ”Mony, Mony” were popular with both our age group and our parents. Two of the biggest stars of the decade. Madonna and Whitney Houston, are tied for second place with the most number ones in the 80's on the Billboard Top 40, right behind Michael Jackson, who has seven. Heavy Metal Hits It Wow! What a domination! Seven of the eight most pop- ular songs at BHS this year were heavy metal. This type of music, which includes bands with lots of drums and male singers, usually with long hair, became very pop- ular. Def Leppard seemed to steal the show at BHS. Four years ago this group was also popular, but an accident which caused drummer Rick Allen to lose his left arm put Def Leppard into a long si- lence. Then out of the blue they came out with Hysteria. Whitesnake is another old group which has enjoyed re- newed popularity with their Things were very exciting in Brush when U.S. Rockers, a heavy metal group which teaches against drug abuse, gave three per- formances.

But fashion varied according to the styles of guys themselves. Baggy pants with suspenders were in style. Leather bomber jackets were also popular, but very expensive. Another popular look with both guys and girls was stone and acid washed jeans or jackets. Many guys were very concerned about how their clothes looked. The fashions are headed in the right direction,” said Steven VanAusdall. Jean jackets were worn by many; cool” was how Virgil Griffith described them. The most outrageous fashion statement was pierced ears for guys. According to David Walkup, getting his left ear pierced was very “chic”. Some people with pierced ears preferred the heavy metal look of concert t-shirts and torn jeans. Whatever the style, the guys were just as concerned with looking good as the girls. I Can’t Find Anything to Wear! The spotlight was on fe- males. Fashion came in many styles for the fair gender. There were many different prints in fashion. Animal prints, plaids and abstract de- signs replaced last year's flower prints. Both bold and pastel colors were popular. Denim saw a new twist with acid washing which softened and faded the material. All of these materials were constructed in- to shirts, pants, scarves, socks and even boots (denim). The shirts this year varied from camp, tailored, loose or comfortable designs, made for any life style or occupation. A big change came in the styles of pants. They varied from baggy to tailored, but all were comfortable and classy. Accessories played the big- gest part in the clothes girls wore. Miniskirts called for flats and dark hose, while most shirts had shoulder pads. Lots of bracelets (metal) and ear- rings, big ones, were worn. Scarfs were one of the biggest fashion statements because they could be worn so many ways. The overall fashion guide was to dress to fit your per- sonal attitude and lifestyle while looking sharp. It’s more comfortable. It’s the way I like to dress,” was freshman Nikki Garver's ex- planation of why casual was the most popular style. by Hileigh Friehauf Outrageous hairstyles were more in fashion, as many peo- ple dyed theirs. Hileigh Friehauf took the step to dye hers almost snow white. The best fashion accessory is to be in good shape. Corey Fal- ligan demonstrates this with Chris Garcia, Shawn Garrett and Mrs. Judy Florian at a vol- leyball game. 52 i v’ mkr' Not to be outdone by the girls, many guys, especially on the football team, shaved their heads like Elias Martinez dur- ing wrestling season. “My favorite style of cloth- ing is sort of classic casual: Dress pants, flats, dresses, sweaters and long skirts. I like these because they fit just about every mood and are just right for attending school.” Melinda Smith “My favorite clothes are things that feel comfortable and are in style all the time.” Chaz Kingsbury “1 like clothes that are bright or pastel. They make me feel like it’s Friday all week.” Lynn Tormohlen Surviving Mondays Can Be Very Hard Making it through a Mon- day morning at school was one of the hardest tasks many students had to face. There were some cures that could be used to make it 'til mid-week when the thought of Friday carried us on. Probably the most conve- nient way to make it through a Monday was to simply stay home. But as some student found out it seemed to be even harder to get up with Tuesday morning looming in your face after a three-day weekend. There were also those who slept in the classes early Mon- day morning, when they could get away with it. “I put my book open on my desk and rest my head on my hands like I’m reading,” said John Gunnon, explaining how to sleep in class. Many students came to know, however, that the best way to face a Monday morn- ing is to get up out of bed, take an extra long shower, take a deep breath and begin the day as though it were a Friday. I hate Mondays because it's just like starting the school year all over again, after being out of two days,” said Shawna Blake. I can't survive Mondays,” answered sophomore Kristi Schreiner. All students had their own special ways of surviving the school year and especially the Monday that started off each week. Something different worked for everyone. What’s Hot, What’s Not! For day — subtle eye makeup, light lip shades. For night — dramatic eyes and bright, rich lips. Soft natural hair styles in curls, straight or crimped. For clothes — black has made a comeback, classic accessories in gold or silver, longer jackets, the pouf skirt for evening, acid- washed denim, mini-skirts, shoulder-pads. Comfort and individuality were the key to looking hot, instead of outdated. NOT for day — heavy foundation, and gaudy eyes with bright lips. NOT for hair — split ends, poorly-cared for hair, boring styles, or hair that takes hours to fix. NOT for clothes — gaudy flower prints, stretch pants, unmatching colored clothes, polyester is a def- inite out. Also out were contrasting accessories or clothes that were either tot) tight or way too loose when you're trying to looked well-groomed. These Brands Aren’t on Cattle Walking through the halls, you could see enough brands for a good-sized ranch, but not Rocking R's or Bar T's. At BHS the only brands peo- ple wore were on clothes. Levis could be seen every- where — but weren’t as pop- ular as in the past. They had been replaced by many brands of stone washed jeans like Pepe, Zena and Bugle Boy. Esprit and Benetton both greatly increased in popular- ity, with clothes with an in- ternational twist. Benetton sold many things besides clothes, like sheets, bags and especially watches! Watches were the big fash- ion statement brought on by Swatch. Watches now came in dozens of colors, with crazy designs. The clothes people wore were noticed by everyone, but having the right label wasn't a big issue. People dressed in whatever style fit their mood and varied from outrageous to subdued. 53 Life Doesn’t End at 3 Students regularly attend rock concerts, movies and plays, but are entertained in school by juggler Steve Mills, who with his wife Carol, does a comedy-unicyclist act. From 8:05 to 3:00 stu- dents are actively involved in their schoolwork. But what about after school? There were a variety of activities and stu- dent interests that added to life-after 3 p.m. Athletes had practice every afternoon, five days a week; practice lasted an average of two to three hours to three and a half hours. Many students also held down a part-time job. This was a real challenge — to balance work and school. And, of course there were those that didn’t work or par- ticipate in sports. These peo- ple spent time with friends, family or on clubs and proj- ects. In the evenings or on week- ends, students spent their time many different ways. Lots of people watched mov- ies, visited with friends or went to the lake. The warmer the weather got, the more time was spent outdoors, par- ticipating in recreational soft- ball or other sports, or getting a tan. The possibilities were endless. Backstage as Fun as Front! Has anyone seen my shoes?’’ ’’Do you have my Chem- istry homework? “What’s my line?” These are some of the phrases that you would hear if you were backstage in a play production at BHS. Back- stage is a comedy in itself; to see dozens of actors and ac- tresses running around like chickens with their heads cut off is almost as funny as what's going on onstage. Cast pranks are a form of tension relief during perfor- mances. Many of the props on stage, especially books have pictures from Playboy mag- azines taped on them.

I came to Brush High School in the middle of my sophomore year. It was ex- tremely 'tuff for me to ad- just to BHS — considering I've been to many schools. You see, there is always one way to move to the top, but you must find it first. Brush was hard because I was from Yuma; for some reason it was an absolute sin to live in Yuma.

See ya!” By Doug Nelson When I first came to Brush High School, I was very ner- vous. Right when I got out of the assembly, a senior ran up and made me say the school song. BHS seemed very confus- ing at first; it seemed like every time I couldn't find a class, there was no one in the halls to help me, so I had to go all the way to the office and ask them.

It wasn't hard coming to BHS just because of the song, but also because in those first couple of weeks I had to put on a good impression, so peo- ple would see the good side of me too. I made a lot of friends sing- ing the school song and in my classes. Now I like Brush High School. It's not a maze to get through anymore.

December 7, 1987 was a day for the nation and for the world to remember. Besides being the forty-sixth anniver- sary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the nuclear arms race paused long enough for Pres- ident Ronald Reagan and So- viet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev to hold a summit in Washington. Its purpose was to sign a treaty that banned all intermediate range missiles, a major step in arms reduction. This third summit between the two leaders was the first held in Washington. Reagan and Gorbachev al- so examined Soviet withdraw- al from Afghanistan, human rights issues, and the Strategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars). The most progress was made on the arms treaty. Af- ter the summit many Amer- icans felt like Gorbachev could be trusted.

Oliver North takes the President and Mrs. Reagan. oath at the Senate hearings. Tensions in the Gulf It has often been said that if ever another world war were to start, the first shots would be fired in the Middle East. The Persian Gulf is certainly one of the most violent “powder kegs” in the world today. The United States be- came more deeply involved in the war between Iran and Iraq, beginning in September. The situation rapidly became worse from that point on, in- volving more countries. Iran and Iraq have been at war for close to seven years, with neither side able to gain a strong enough foothold to defeat the other. In order to insure the transport of val- uable oil resources from that region the U.S. Navy sent the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Ranger and battleship U.S.S. Missou- ri, along with many other ships to the Gulf. Most of the European countries refused to send their own support there and have depended on the U.S. to keep the Gulf open. As the tank war escalated, ships from many different na- tions were hit by fire from both Iran and Iraq, each of whom was trying to prevent the other from transporting oil. The U.S. has also had its share of deaths: 37 crewmen were killed when an Iraqui missile hit the battleship U.S.S. Stark on May 17, 1987. Several oil tankers were damaged by mines set by Ira- nian ships. The United States became even more deeply embroiled in the crisis when government officials agreed to escort Ku- waiti oil tankers, flying the American flag. None of the United Nations resolutions for cease fires between Iran and Iraq have lasted long enough for any peace talks to begin. Without a doubt, the Persian Gulf is a potentially explosive situation and the U.S. will have to deal with it carefully to prevent future problems. These Collisons Are Super! In December 1987, Colorado was named one of the eight state finalists in the competition to become the site of the Super-Conducting Super Collider. The SSC, a tunnel 53 miles in diameter, would be the world’s largest and most powerful proton accelerator. This accelerator will enable physicists to learn about the origin of the universe and the ultimate structure of matter. The cost of the collider was estimated at $4.4 billion, to be built over a nine year period. If built in Colorado the ac- celerator would be located in Morgan, Adams and Washington counties. The economic boost to these counties would be very great and the collider would put the U.S. at the forefront of world physics. Surviving... 59 MI NT MAG NEWS Who Will Lead in '89? It's been called the cast of thousands and the Seven Dwarfs , but it is really the group of Democratic and Re- publican presidential candi- dates for 1988. By January, there were eight Democratic candidates and six Republican contend- ers. Most widely-known were the Reverend Jesse Jackson and Vice-President George Bush. The Democratic pool contained a whole slew of elected officials including Massachusetts Governor Mi- chael Dukakis, Congressmen Richard Gephardt, Albert Gore, Paul Simon, and Bruce Babbitt. The Republicans had nearly as many with Kansas Senator Robert Dole, former Secretary of Defense Alexan- der Haig, Congressman Jack Kemp and Pete DuPont, and even TV evangelist Pat Rob- ertson. The biggest blow to the + Democrats campaign came in May 1987, when Colorado Senator Gary Hart dropped out of the race. Once the fore- runner, he withdrew in the weeks after the Miami Herald revealed his affair with model Donna Rice. In a presidential race where the candidates lives were closely scrutinized, there were no clear winners by February. Gary Hart had reentered the race, but his popularity had suffered massive setbacks. There were no clear issues and each candidate tried his own tactics. It appeared that this would be the year where the “undecided” had the strong- est campaign. In the last six years, AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syn- drom) has killed nearly 25,000 Americans. The disease, which attacks the immune system, leaving the body open to rare viruses, was proclaimed “Public Health Enemy No. 1” by Pres- ident Reagan. Millions of dollars are being spent on medical research. Iran Scams the U.S. Many officials pleaded the fifth amendment at the Iran Contra hearings. In August 1986, it was discovered that the U.S. had been secretly selling weapons to Iran and sending the money to contra rebels in Central America. The problem was that Con- gress had voted down the pro- posal, but some top officials still followed through. Marine Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North admitted to having conducted much of the op- erations, but he claimed he only followed orders given to him by National Security Council Chief Robert McFarlane. An investigation was conducted by the Attor- ney General’s office and the scandal was studied by a spe- cial Senate committee to de- cide what should be done.

The Dow Jones industrial average sank below the pre- viously set low (percentage- wise) in the Stock Market Crash of 1929. The market fell 508 points on what is currently being called “Black Monday”. The losses of the crash to- taled $385 billion dollars. Many people speculated that there would be another depres- sion like the one following the crash of 1929. Still, in the af- termath of Black Monday”, President Ronald Reagan in- sisted that there was nothing wrong with the economy. The President announced that he was “willing to look at what- ever proposal” to reduce the deficit Congress could come up with. There was much speculation on why the crash occurred. Partly to blame was the com- puter trading which automat- ically traded huge blocks of stocks. Locally, the crash did not seem to have as big an effect as it had in major cities. Some students in Brush High School didn’t even know the market had crashed.

It’s Fantastic It's a new year and the NBA was bigger and better than ever. The stars were out in flocks. Irving Johnson was working his magic” again and the Birdman was still fly- ing high. The L.A. Lakers, last year's world basketball champions were bidding to repeat and were showing that they might do just that. The Celtics might not have returned to the finals as their age ap- peared to be catching up with them. The Detroit Pistons led by Isiah Thomas and the At- lanta Hawks led by Dom- inique Wilkins were two teams expected to go far. Chi- cago and Philadelphia were expected to be beaten out in the playoffs. In the West, led by the Lakers, there were still many teams coming up. Dallas, Houston, Sacremento and the Nuggets were strong teams with lots of talent. For those fans crazy about basketball, this was a year when any team could come forth with great shots, dunks and passes to take it in the last seconds. The year was 1982, my fa- vorite baseball team had lost 102 games in a season. The fans that did show up for the games were either drunk or had been on a sabbatical in Africa for the past five months. This team was bad, but even then I knew that someday soon they would find glory and be recognized as the champions they really were. When 1987 rolled around, I had a good feeling about the team. They began to close the gap on the other teams. They were then on top of the Amer- ican League West. They were no longer the twinkies;” they were the great Minnesota Twins. The Twins would be playing the Detroit Tigers for the Amer- ican League pennant. Every- body thought that the Twins would soon be home watching the series on T.V. But this was not to be, the Twins ripped the Tigers an beat them in five games. Then it was on to the World Series. The Twins faced the Saint Louis Cardinals, who'd defeated the Giants. The Twins came out tan, rested and ready. They mauled the Cards in the first two games, fans be- came wild; yelling for a sweep. But the Cards went to Busch Stadium where they returned to their running game and won all three games at home. The sixth game was the test. The Twins were down 5 to 2 when Don Baylor hit a three run homer to tie it up. Then “Herbie” Hrbek hit the second Twin grand slam of the series for a 9 to 5 win. The seventh game was upon them and the Twins were pre- pared. They had their ace left hander Frank Viola, who pitched a superb game. The Twins used aggression base run- ning and won 4 to 2. Proving that determination can inspire the underdog, the Twins demonstrated good pitching, hitting and all-around sports talent. They proved the world wrong with 150 to 1 odds of winning. by John Gunnon Kirby Puckett and Jeff Reardon of the Minnesota Twins cel- ebrate a World Series victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Over a hundred regular players crossed the picket lines by the time the union agreed to return to work and have the case decided in court. Surviving the NFL Strike The second NFL strike of the 1980s began on Septem- ber 22, 1987. The third week of regular season games was about to begin, but the own- ers and the players' union could not work out some dis- agreements in player con- tracts. The players wanted free agency and a few other changes, while the owners wanted to keep policies the same. Since it appeared that the strike would go on for a num- ber of weeks, the owners de- cided to continue the season schedule with replacement players. With little time to practice, the ‘scabs' went into battle. They knew very few of the plays and the coaches had to modify and simplify their game plans. The players had not worked together and many were out of shape. During this period, the players on strike received no money for the games they were supposed to play. After one week on strike, players began to drift back into prac- tice. Finally, 24 days after the strike began, the union said the players would return to work without a final nego- tiated contract. This was on Thursday, October 15. The owners said players who had not come back before October 14th would have to sit out the game that Sunday. As a result of the strike, many people were hurt: the players, the owners, but most of all the fans. Jake Held, who was disappointed in the strike, stated, ''The perfor- mance of the scabs wasn’t at the same level of intensity as that of the pros. I was glad to see the regular players come back because my Sundays were boring while they were gone.” Sean Gleason, always for the underdog, commented, “I kind of enjoyed the scab games because they gave the replacement players a chance to live out a dream that would not have been possible without a strike.” Amy Tribbey kept it short when she commented, Who cares?! It’s just a stupid game!” A Miller Lite beer com- mercial sums up the feelings of many about the strike. A narrator begins by saying, Surviving...

The Bronco fans felt good after one quarter as they led 10-0. Then, the second quar- ter was a disaster, the Red- skins scored thirty-five unan- swered points with Doug Williams, the first black quarterback to play in the Superbowl. Denver’s defense in the second quarter was poor and the offense had problems, too, as quarterback Jack Elway threw four inter- ceptions. The second half was no better, with the final score 42- 10; one of the worst defeats in Superbowl history. In Superbowl XXII many new records were set including eight by the Skins and two by the Broncos.

The Brush Beetdigger football team ended its season with a 10-2 record with their only two losses from league champion Windsor Wizards and state champion Manitou Mustangs. The Digger gridders had a strong core of- fensive unit as well as a sound defense. Line- backer Corey Falligan led the defense with 71 tackles. Virgil Griffith led the offense from his fullback position with 1,200 yards on 182 car- ries and 12 touchdowns. The team had eight all-conference picks and four honorable mention picks. The all- conference picks were led by All-State linebacker Corey Falligan, second team All-State fullback Virgil Griffith, and All-State honorable mention picks Heath Becker—strong safety, and Brent Weatherill—defensive end. Other all- conference picks were Chad Cox—offensive guard; Sam England—offensive tackle; David Walkup—punt returner; and Elias Marti- nez—nose-guard. Honorable mention picks were Scott Her- nandez-wide receiver; Jake Held—free safety; Steve Hall—center; and Pete Corona- do—defensive tackle. The offense scored 259 points, while the defense only allowed the opponents 104 points. The Diggers best, and most nerve-wracking game was against Yuma.

The Diggers could never catch up with them. Even though they couldn't, they never gave up and kept fighting until the final buzzer. The game ended 25-20. This loss ended the football season. Coach Mills, in his 12th season, said, ‘‘It was a fine season with good senior lead- ership.

Brush was strong at the meets and usually fared well. They were trained by Coach Terry McGee and assistant Trish Johnson. The managers were Theresa Herbst and Cecilia Jiminez. Also, Desi Villareal was a run- ner manager. Their placings in the major invita- tional were as follows: the Brush, 7th; Ft. Lupton, 13th. At the Highland Craig Alexander displays exemplary form as he vaults over the high jump. Lead Team invitational they managed to capture 8th place. Junior Greg Gotto commented on the season, It was a success for the number of people that went out. Everybody had a good year. Numbers in boys track de- clined this year, but the guys that were out contributed well. During the course of the season, many goals were set. One of these goals became a reality for Brent Weatherill when he set a league record of 15.8 seconds in the 110 meter high hurdles. Chad Foltz also set a league record. He ran the 300 meter intermediate hurdles in 42.6 seconds. The boys track team finished out the year getting 6th place at the league meet. All in all, the boys had a solid year. They had no all-conference picks, but did well with ten members. Surviving... 86 BOY8' TRACK The discus takes much skill and effort, as Bemie Reed demonstrates in his technique.

Track has always been thought of as an individual sport, since nearly all events are performed alone. But, even though each per- son does his or her own event, team spirit is still involved. Senior Desi Villareal said, “It’s both. You run for yourself but get points for the team.” Team spirit is emphasized when the team will stand at the fin- ish line and cheer on the runners. As in any other sport, track has its key athletes. But everybody also con- tributes and if a good effort is given by all team mem- bers, the whole team fares well. Surviving...

POST SEASON TRACK 89 Dreams Are What It’s Made Ofl When the baseball program was reintroduced at Brush five years ago, no one ever dreamed this would be the year the Diggers nearly took it all. Coach Don Dillehay had seven seni- ors returning to the varsity team. After a strong season, the team entered sub- districts and it was then when things really started to happen. Brush de- feated Roosevelt, Yuma and a tough Eaton league defender to advance to one of the four regional contests. At Butch Butler field in Greeley Brush beat highly-ranked Denver Christian and Lewis Palmer in close games, a difference of one run in each.

In addition to making it all the way to the state tournament. Brush players broke sixteen school records and had several players named to All-Conference and All- State. David Walkup, Michael Gutierrez, Corey Falligan and Virgil Griffith re- ceived All-Conference honors, with Jake Held as honorable mention. Gutierrez al- so made first-team All-State for the coaches association, while Walkup and Falligan were honored on the second team. The season, which was certainly the most successful of Brush’s so far, was highlighted by beating Eaton at sub- districts and both teams in regionals.” Said Coach Dillehay, Those were three super ball games!

BASEBALL 93 They’re not the Most Recognized, but they are . . . The Trainers, Managers, and Coaches When athletes were asked what they thought about the trainers, managers, and coach- es, they had only good things to say. The managers help by pre- paring all the equipment so teams are safe on the court or playing field. The trainers help by keep- ing players in good health so teams play up to their po- tential and have fun without pain. Finally, the coaches encour- age, push teams hard in con- ditioning and bring the team together so they have success- ful seasons. Even though the players don't always agree with or like the coaches, they know the coaches do the best they can with what they have. When Coach LeeRoy Needens was asked what the coach does for the team, he jokingly said, “We're the teachers, cheerleaders, psy- chologists and parents in the absence of parents, and we think we’re probably the next best thing to God.” Coaches often yell at play- ers, or they seem to sit them on the bench for no apparent reason. But truthfully, the team is no better than the coach. The team would fail without them. “Top Gun” Susan Pollart dis- plays concern as her cadets struggle in a close match. Trainer Randy Edelen not only aids physical problems, but helps Pete Ybarra with equipment problems. Head coach Larry Mills and top football advisers, coaches John Schaffer and Steve Ritchie, look on as Brush moves down the field.

Powder Puff Football player Lori Chabot said, The game was fun, even though we lost to the school champions: the sophomores.” Among other activities, Student Council sponsored some new activ- ities for Homecoming; a game where the most highly-recruited women of Brush High School were involved in grudge matches that pitted class against class. The 20 minute games coached by guys were dominated by the sophomores. Student Council also hosted a league retreat with schools from all over the Northern Plains League, Nov. 24. At the retreat. Amber Lights, a nationally known anti- alcohol drugs dissolving slide show, was shown. The show was discussed by groups of visiting students. BHS students also viewed it. The Christmas season started off on the right foot when Student Council sponsored the third annual Snowball Dance, one of several dances during the year. Gifts were given to two needy families, along with tree decorations, donated by local stores. The legs contest was another event in which photographs were taken of a select group of students and hung in the library. The stu- dents then voted on which pair of legs they liked most, by dropping change into the jar that matched the picture. Finally, some of the Student Council members went to Camp Cheley in Estes Park. This April 21- 22 league retreat was attended by 140 people.

To qualify for National Honor Society, a student must have had a cumulative semester grade point average of 3.0. The faculty then evaluated leadership, charac- ter, and service and a total score was ascertained. The number of students admitted to Honor Society was a percentage of the number of students in each class. The group was led by Honor Society President Joan Radke; Sec- retary, Marti Windsheimer; Pres- ident elect Vice President, Robyn Hutchison and Sponsor Dr. Ronald Prascher. The group took two field trips during the year. The first one was to the State Capitol and Colorado Historical Museum on February 24. The other was on April 14 to AT T, IBM, and Kodak. They then ate lunch at Crossroads Mall in Boulder. The students did learn about computers and manufactur- ing on their trip, although Kristen Garbin said, “I learned that I don't want to work there (at AT T).

Knowledge Bowl is a club that deals with competition of academic skills of all subjects. Participants used a computer disk and a timer strip to practice with. There were four meets with oth- er schools after January and a state meet in the latter pan of March or first pan of April. The four meets this year were in Yuma, Ault, Platte Valley, and University.

Walking down the hall a person sees a student wearing a sweatshirt that has the code 4-N-6. The worst comes to the person's mind. Maybe he is a secret agent, or even worse, a new teacher. But, actually one has nothing to worry about, because the student is only a member of the Forensics club. These students with the sweat- shirts are known to be daring all through their school years. They have to be courageous enough to speak in front of an audience! The Forensics team competed in three meets, and though no one went to state, they had a unique year. To raise money, the members sold candy grams on Halloween and held cake raffles at a Varsity football game and a wrestling match. This supplied funds for an end-of-the-year pizza party. The 4-N-6 sweatshirts may bog- gle many minds, but the people who walked down the hall wearing them knew that this code repre- sented their club.

The Drama Club started out the year with a musical in November. ‘’All-American’' was the First musical produced here in several years. It turned out to be a great success. The spring play consisted of three one-act plays: “Quiet Please ”, “Double Date”, and “When Shake- Joanne Carl brought these plays al- together to create one night of en- joyment and laughter.

Sadd Drive-Ins Still Popular Students Against Drinking and Driving (SADD) had a lot of par- ticipation from the student body. The club SADD is a non-profit organization. The community and the Pepsi Cola Company are very sup- portive. The activities they sponsored were Fall-“drive-ins,” a spring-beach party, Prom-contract, and Valentine's Day bracelets. Kristen Garbin said, “Our goal is to promote activities that can be fun without alcohol involved.” Robin Artery commented, “I think it's a good organization because it puts emphasis on teenagers having a good time — sober!” SADD: FRONT ROW: Kris- ten Garbin, Brenda Van Donselaar.

The club had eight members with President Yolanda Laso, Vice- president Doug Hudson, Secretary An- nette Carlson and Treasurer Brian Hull. It lets the kids have a good time,” said member Bob Johnson. Mr. McGee, the club sponsor said he would like to have more members in the years to come, since enrollment was down over the previous year.

Here they get ready to “jam to “Wipe Out,” sung by the Fat Boys. Ten girls found a way to survive the school year. These girls took the responsibility of being a cheerleader for a full school year. Along with the school year they practiced off and on during the summer. They attended a Universal Cheerleaders Association camp at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colo- rado. The BHS cheerleaders were sponsored by Mrs. Robin McBee and Miss Peggy Sheldon. In order to lower the price of their uniforms, they had many fund-raisers. Their four major mon- ey makers were a bake sale, a ga- rage sale, a car wash, and a Pee- Wee cheerleader clinic, in which over 30 younger girls participated. Once school started, full prac- tices began. Spirit posters, pep ral- lies, locker decorating and of course, “cheering ’til you drop,” took up these ten girls’ days. In February of 1987, a 17-year old New Zealand exchange student came to Brush. Kelli Howison stayed with several different host families while she was here. Kelli kept busy with many in and out of school activities. During her stay in Brush she was a cheerleader and an active speaker for the Brush Rotary. Kelli fit in very well with her families and friends. Kelli enriched every person’s life that she met. She helped others to learn about and understand the culture of New Zealand. Kelli Howison, New Zea- land exchange student, pro- vided a unique role on the cheerleading squad. Goofing off was a specialty” of the cheer- leaders, as here Kristen Lundgren, Lori Chabot, Alicia Garrett, and Vicki England “express themselves.” Yessika Ortiz, Anissa Guzman, Alicia Gar- rett, and Kristen Lundgren yell for a Dig- ger pin in wrestling. At a football pep rally the cheerleaders show off their latest dance moves. FRONT ROW: Brandy Brunner, Regina Guzman, Anissa Guz- man.

B club had a total of 31 members for the 1987-88 school year. To be in B club, one must letter at least once a year in a varsity sport. B club did various activities through out the year. First was the annual submarine skit that was done for Homecoming. The skit caught unsuspecting fresh- man J. C. Harmon by surprise when the “submarine” he was in “sunk”. The club also went to a Denver Nuggets game on March 19. Chris Gunnon said, “the game was boring, but the trip was fun.” The officers were Heath Becker — President, Michelle White — Vice President, and Lynne Tormohlen — Secretary- Treasurer. Sponsor LeeRoy Needens has worked with the club for the past eighteen years. New club members: Kevin Carlson, Kristin Ley, Chris Mills, Jimmie Holmes, Greg Gotto. Surviving... 116 B-CLUB All students have to take classes, whether they enjoy them or not. The key is to survive the classes to graduate. There are two basic types of classes: classes you have to take, and classes that give you a break, which help us survive the year. Dea Greenwood works at the computer for one of the classes that she has to take. Kristie Guthrie and Cori Miller enjoy a laugh to survive during the busy Journalism class. Classes you have to take .............118 Classes that give you a break .............120 Other classes .............122 117 Do Required Classes Test Your Sanity? That's the thought that comes into mind when one has to take those dreaded required classes. Some hate them, others enjoy them, and some students are just confused. One way or another, all have to take them and survive them. Gen- erally, we need required classes to en- lighten us with the skills that we will need later in life. It sounds impossible, but most do survive them. David Walkup, a senior at Brush High, expressed his thoughts on required classes: They are there and so you have to take them. Take as many as you can because these days you need them. In the four years of high school re- quired are courses in typing, math, sci- ence, social studies, and English. Others take foreign language as a pre-college entrance requirement. One must confess, these classes cause nightmares for students. Yet, one must not forget the 15 brave teachers who instruct the requireds” come to this school daily to teach what students have to learn. For the most part, teachers try to add some variety to the classes, so even the requireds” seem livable! Surviving... 118 CLASSES YOU HAVE TO TAKE Mrs. Perry, in her second year of teaching at BHS, helped open new doors for foreign languages. Demonstrative speeches allow stu- dents to enjoy treats like this cake decorated by Mami Hastings. “I never had much trouble with school. I teach them (students) I guess because 1 think they are important,” stated Mr. Krob. Mr. Krob’s Junior Comp class shows how important the class is to them. As a required class students write research papers that prove a point about major current events or issues. Surviving... CLASSES YOU HAVE TO TAKE 119 BREAK TIME! Even SOME Classes Have It! Gee, there are so many classes to choose from! What am I going to take?” That's the question often asked by high school students. They know what they have to take for required classes, but what else can one take? Many students take easy classes to pass time away, some take study halls to help them survive their required classes, and others take elective classes that don’t seem to make sense. As Monica Acosta said, They stuck me in here because I had nothing else to take my senior year.” Even though some people think of these classes as a joke, there are some people who take them quite seriously. For example, some students take Ag. I and II because their lives involve farm- ing. Sandy Garcia states, Art is some- thing I am going to get into as my career.” So, these classes aren't fun and games for everybody. However, these classes are what make it possible to survive the required ones. Surviving... 120 CLASSES THAT Paul Acosta uses his teacher’s aide hour to work on a computer math assignment in the computer lab. Jason Meisel shows drafting may not be as hard as chemistry but it still requires a lot of thought. GIVE YOU A BREAK Welding student, Jeff Moreland, shows a steady hand, coordination and a lot of patience are needed to have a well-done project. Brent Weatherill and Donny Basnett look to each other for help on a drawing in Mr. Bever’s drafting class. Mr. Bill Annan’s Ag I and II classes study such things as farming techniques and machinery care. Students enjoy the variety of activities in Mrs. Dorothy Thruston’s foods class. Surviving...

Monumental Task Faces J-Staff Writing, editing and publishing a yearbook and newspaper: it may seem a monumental task, but the 25 students of Mrs. Ely’s journalism class handled it with expertise and care. The Newspaper staff had two editors, who were Tim Moser and Kristie Guth- rie. The yearbook editors were Tracy Wagers and Robin Hutchinson. The class also had a team of darkroom man- agers, Greg Gotto and Laura Hoder who were assisted by photographers Michelle Heagney and Shawna Blake. Along with the editorial staff and photographers, Sandy Garcia was the staff artist. Anissa Guzman was business manager. Rob Kauk served as news col- umnist, Cori Miller as circulation man- ager and Annette Noel as staff assistant. Students in journalism class have at least a B average in English and need prior approval from Mrs. Ely before they can take this class. Brush High journalists are members of the Colorado High School Press As- sociation, and as such compete in state evaluations, competitions and work- shops. “We tried a lot of new things this school year,” said Adviser Mrs. Ely. “A mini-mag in our yearbook, a new ad sales and display technique, and going public with our school paper by cir- culating it with one of the city weekly papers all meanr hours of extra work. But, in the end we liked the new chal- lenges and exposure.’’ Using elaborate gestures, Mr. Krob gets his point across to the senior Mass Media class.

In addition, the reopening of Sigman’s and opening of Wendy’s have pro- vided more jobs. Besides attending school, many students at BHS work 10 to 30 hours a week. These students save the money for college, cars, and also spend it in Brush. We greatly appreciate the support local businesses give us by purchasing advertise- ments in the yearbook and newspaper, since it means we can bring it to you at a lower price. Wendy's is a favorite place for students to eat after home sports events. However, since Wendy’s closes at midnight, it can be a long day for employee Mike Gonzales. Fast food restaurants offer the most job opportunities for BHS students. Denise Keltz is serving soft drinks at Tastee Freeze for her after-school job. Colophon The 1988 Sagebrush was produced by the BHS journalism staff and print- ed by Newsfoto Year- books, San Angelo, Texas. The cover is printed in black 75, maroon 806, and ivory 892. Sixty per- cent maroon spot color is used for the Mini-Mag. The Mini-Mag and end- sheets are tan. The book’s copy and captions are Garamond 12 and 10 point. Korinna is used for the Mini-Mag. The 136 page book was printed on 8Vi by 11 format with 80-pound pa- per. The Sagebrush is a member of the Colorado High School Press Asso- ciation and Quill and Scroll Society. The editors would like to thank the staff, contrib- utors, photographers, ad- viser Mrs. Amy Ely and Newsfoto Representative Mrs. Karen Harper for their dedication and work. 123 Jour INDEX TO Survivat A — Athletics Aiosu.

We all have survived one way or another during the year. The freshmen have survived probably the worst year of high school and can look forward to the years to come. Sophomores, have now become lettermen, more active in the school and they are invited to be with the upperclassmen. Surviving by taking notes from the seniors were the juniors, who were saying “That's not how it will be done next year.” Surviving tears and good-byes after graduation, also facing the choice of the future were, of course, the seniors. Through clubs, sports and friends, we have all helped one another to survive the school year. If the saying, “Survival of the fittest is true, then the Bee- tdiggers have proved they’re as fit as they come. We survived! Enjoying the benefits of being on the honor roll, Chris Gunnon takes a large bite o sundae at the spring honor roll ice cream party.
