Play 1 Brush’s Soldiers of Fortune How do you feel when you step onto the field of battle? Here are a few emo- tions of some Brush athletes: John Gunnon: “When I step onto the court, the other team is the enemy. There will be no letting up, no giv- ing in. When the other team comes into my gym, its like the U.S. being invaded by commies. Pete Ybarra: I feel that I am invincible. I shall show no mercy towards my enemy. I try to my best ability to up- hold the tradition of Brush wrestling. Kelly Schreiner: Some- times you feel nervous and intense; other times you feel relaxed. It just depends on the game. Heath Becker: “During four years of football, I learned many things. I realize I could do anything if I put my mind to it. Sports have made me a better and stronger man. One of my fa- vorite mottos is, 'I will work harder!' Kelly Schreiner BB 1,2,3,4; VB 1,2,3.4; VB All-Conf. Hon. Mint. 4; B-Club 3.4; Cl. O. 3,4; FHA 1; J. J- Staff 4; Stu. Coun. 4; G. Scate 3; Grad.

Senior Poker Parties The game is Four Card Guts. 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
