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.

“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

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
