During the year, the high school scholastic team participated in two competitions. The first, in October, was held at lllini Bluffs and the second, a month later, took place at Green Valley. The members of this year's team were (middle) Coach Radine Kellogg, Barb Brad-dock, David Ryan, Susie Rachel, Roy Groeper, Cathy Mueller, Amy Carlton, Mark Mueller, Scott Keithley, Andy Mueller, Bruce Emken, and Tony Bridson. The high school competition worked much like the grade school’s, the object being to answer more questions correctly than the opposing team. In this endeavor the players often did well and like to show it (upper left) as did Scott Keithley, Mark Mueller, David Ryan, Susie Rachel, and Andy Mueller. They also admitted to not succeeding just as often (lower left). Coach Kellogg (top) often showed her displeasure at incorrect questions, especially when it was on a subject she taughtl Hopefully she will have more to smile about next year. Academic Contests — 7

On May 6, Brimfield Grade School hosted the 1985 West Central Academic Contest. Brimfield Students who participated in the competition with six other schools' representatives included Angie Knotts, Brian Abraham, Larry Keach, and Mark Ryan (for fifth grade); Sanee Ness, Laura Bush, Tina Hart, and Julie Arnold (sixth grade); Kristina Ericsson, Steve Clark, Sean Lockard, and Kristy Hartman (seventh grade); and Vernon Hanssen, Lori Martin, Fred Car-roll, and Brett Seamons (eighth grade). Students from each school were divided into four teams, one student from each school on a team. These teams were then paired for preliminary rounds. Students were asked questions about various subjects, and whichever team correctly answered the most questions won that round. Winners of the preliminary rounds advanced to the finals. All the team members of the overall winning team received ribbons. Photos by Gary Keithley 6 — Academic Contests

“ScutcC (Z C..oU D» .knl By Susie Rachel During the 1984-85 school year the Brimfield bands gave two formal performances. The junior high and high school bands participated in the Fall Concert and the fifth grade joined them in playing at the Spring Concert. At the Spring Concert, Lisa Fisher was presented with the Todd Sollenberger Memorial Award for excellence in band. The bands also played at the Pops and Pizza concert (a fund-raiser sponsored by the Brimfield Band Boosters) and entertained the crowds at half-time of the boys' and girls’ basketball games. The bands put in a lot of work preparing for their concerts, this in spite of scheduling problems. Their efforts really showed. Many people in the audiences were overheard saying the bands had never sounded better. Photos by Vince Mills 8 — Band Concerts
