AURORA BOREALIS DEDICATION To the Class of 33 we dedicate ■ this edition of our “one and only’ Aurora Borealis. Our hope is that you will find a brief summary of some of those things you want most to remember. We hope that in years to come, as you drift bach down memory’s lane to those by-gone happy, high school days, our Aurora Borealis wi II be at least “just an echo’ of those joyous never-to-be-forgotten hours spent in Aurora High School. THE JUNIORS AURORA BOREALIS How It All L amc About Only twelve years ago? It scarcely seems possible that it has been twelve ionj; years since nine little hoys and girls out of the twenty-eight who have come to make up the present illustrious class of ’33 first entered Aurora Grade School. Who are those nine that have been so faithful? “Turn backward, turn backward, o Time in thy flight”—and you will see chubby little James and l’aul Garkie: rosy-cheeked, curly-headed Carlyle Edwards; small Charlotte and Jack Koons, with a few tiny freckles on each small nose; golden-haired little Helen Borck; Dolph Marley. not nearly so tall as In is now: Dorothea Biles, not much tinier than she is at present; ami Helen Zeylmaker, just ns sweet and willing to help as you find her today. The class began the eighth grade with the largest enrollment of any class that had come and gone before. They soon became absorbed in their many studies and numerous social affairs. Several of our youthful dramatists represented Aurora in the county Parent-Teachers Association contest at Brighton. March 12. lt)21� . But we must hurry on. L'et us meet the class the following September. With some additions and a few subtractions it is practically the same crowd that we knew the year before. The class met with many successes. In the first important event of the year—the freshman-sophomore scrap—the class defeated the sophomores. It was soon discovered that there were boys in this class with unusual athletic ability. Buck Burgess made the first team in basket-ball and Red Brown, in football. Other boys who participated, playing on the second team, were: Herbert Guinn, Robert Brown. Edward Stoll. Raymond Alkire, Paul and James Garkie, and Dale Wright. We closed the year in triumph. After a few weeks of firm and frequent scoldings in our sophomore year —from our dear teachers, of course—the members of the class became acquiescent and docile. This has ever been an original class. And pep! No other class can ever compare with 1033 when it come-; to pep. Buck Burgess was elected president; Irene Howe, vice-president: Louis Malone, secretary-treasurer; Robert Brown, sergeant-at-arms (that usually is Red’s job) ; and t'arlyle Edwards, student representative. Buck Burgess. Homer Day, Robert Brown, Raymond Alkire, Edward Stoll, and John Brooks were members of the football team. Several sophomores took first place in the dramatics contest at Brighton. Dorothea Biles was elected treasurer of the Girl Reserves. The junior class was whirled right into the midst of many social affairs. Its members took a great deal of inter st in all the school a tivitles. Many of the boys received letters in athletics. Members of the class took a part in all the club and organization activities. They achieved high honors and participated in all the achievements of the school. Four of the numbers of the class were elected to the Honor Society. They were Bertha Purse, Dolph Marley, Edythe Brooks, and Dorothea Biles. The senior year for the class 1033 has come and is almost gone. It has been a pleasant and successful year. Paul Garkie was high-point man in the Suburban League, and Buck Burgess placed on the All-Suburban team. The seniors had more men on football and basket-ball teams than both the other classes. Irene Howe was elected most popular girl of William Smith High and Buck Burgess was elected “best leader among boys.” Buck also brought honor to the school through his election as president of the Derive-Metropolitan Ili-Y Council, of the Ili-Y Conference held at Greeley, and of the local Hi-Y. Bertha Purse was elected prcsidrrt cf the Girl Reserves and Vice-President of the Inter-Club Council of the Y. W. C. A. A most enjoyable sneak-day; a senior “dress-up’’ day that was oodles of fun; a most s ue-cessful senior play “Seven Keys to Baldpate”—a dance that really was a “very nice affair”—all have contributed to making this last year one of happy memories. “Happy days are gone, they say. Ah. well, class 1033 has its memories.

AURORA BOREALIS PROPHECY It was in 11)48—fifteen years after tin class of 1933 had been graduated from William Smith High—that I returned to the old home town on a visit. As I hopped from the train at Aurora’s new million dollar railroad located’ at the intersection of Colfax and Joliet. I saw a man who seemed vaguely familiar. He turned aft I approached, and I recognized Herby Guinn. Upon reaching Ilerby’s home and being presented to his wife, I immediately recognized the former Bertha, Purse. She greeted me cordially and told me that dinner would soon be served. While waiting, I. picked up the latest edition of the Aurora Democrat-News, which I observed had grown to prodigious proportions in the past fifteen years, now rivaling the Denver Post. Suddenly, I recognized a name printed in huge headlines on the front page, “Edythe Brooks Is Married at Cheyenne After Elopement.” I went on to read the story and discovered that Edythe Brooks, popular social leader of Aurora, had eloped with Bobbie Brown, daring young aviator from Cheyenne. The personal column of a newspaper has always appealed to my interest, and I turned to it now. ‘‘Cornelia darling, do come home. The dishes are now washed, and I have Inflight you a new hat. Come home to your sorrowing Paul G.” Something about these names touched a familiar cord of memory. I wondered if perhaps it might not be my former friends. Connie Kiernan and Paul Garkie. At this point an advertisement attracted my attention. It read: “Curly Edwards Beauty Shop—try our Quo Mode Finger Wave—Our Curls a Specialty—Try ’Em Out.” As I glanced through the “Situations Wanted.” again a familiar name met my eye. I read: “Private chauffeur wishes job: white—eight years experience at Watkins, Colorado—highly recommended. Hay Alkire, Telephone Aurora 250,760.” At this moment Bertha called us to dinner. While we ate. 1 asked about others of the illustrious class of ’88 of William Smith High. I learned that John Brooks was now editor of the Aurora Democrat’s only great rival, the Denver Post. Charlotte Koons and Harold Johnson were happily married and were running a turkey farm east of Aurora. Clyde Reed, as I was told, was now Aurora’s chief butter-and-egg man. James Garkie had just won the grand prize presented annually by the Fuller Brush Company to the most enterprising and successful salesman of their favorite commodity. The prize had enabled Dorothea Biles and James Garkie to marry after a ten-year engagement and they were now at home at Derby. Colorado. At this moment, the telephone rang. Jack Koons was calling. He wanted Bertha and Herbie to come over for a bridge game with Sabra and him. Herbie declined, explaining that lie had a guest. latter. Herbie told me that Jack was now head janitor at William Smith High, in which position Sabra was a great help-mate. Every morning she dusted the school bell so that it might chime out sweet and clear to gladden the hearts, of the students. Dolph Marley, who, by the way, was married to Helen Borck, was associated in business with Buck Burgess, I was told. The firm was known as “Marley Burgess, Brokers,’’ and 1 was informed that they were extremely successful. Buck was happily married to Helen Zeylmaker, Herbie said. Another “class” marriage was that of Dale Wright and Thelma Sears, who were running one of the largest and finest night clubs in the West. It was known as “Dale’s and Thelma’s Night-Club.” The team of zither players. Malone and Robinson, entertainers at the club, who helped to draw large crowds with their melting music, were my old friends. Ford and Louise. I found that Gerald Jordan was editing the Daily Flash in Watkins, Colorado, and that Myrkle Kehoe had turned out to be a successful rancher near Limon. Irene Howe and Florence Putney were still to be found at the old stamping ground. Irene was a teacher of home economics and Florence taught Chinese literature and tap-dancing.

The rules were as follows: A speech was to he given with each nomi- nation. giving the qualifications of the nominees; the first nine positions were to he taken in good fun; the last three being taken seriously. The humorous selections were made first and much fun was derived from this part of the election. Some very good speeches were made and a large number of promising orators surprised the whole assembly. Then came the serious nominations. The most popular teacher and the best leader among the boys were elected unanimously. The various honors and those who were entitled to them, are ns follows: Best Student.................................................Flarl McCowan Prettiest Girl...............................................Mary K. Gordon Ugliest Boy....................................................Raymond Alkire School Clown................................................William Fowler Best Athlete.....................................................Alberta Coles School Vamp.................................................Mary J. Moffitt Chatter-box ....................................................Myrkle Kehoe Personality Plus................................................ John Brooks School Sheik................................................Arthur Swenson Those made seriously were: Most Popular Girl.............................................Irene Howe Best Leader Among Boys........................................Buck Burgess Most Popular Teacher..........................................Miss Martin Senior Dress-Up Day Senior Dress-up Day was held on February twenty-eighth. After the Assembly had begun the dignified (?) seniors marched around the room in a parade. The costumes were very attractive and the student body got a good laugh out of each of them. There were little girls with hair ribbons, and little boys with bow ties. Some of them blossomed out into toothless girls, and there was even a ballet dancer. Some of the girls had rejuvenated their mothers wedding dresses. Several countries were represented. There was a dashing Spaniard-a Dutch girl; an Irish girl and a Chinese girl. And as a climax, the sponsor. Miss Martin, came dressed as a little girl, Irish in nationality, with a green ribbon in her hair. The day was a big success, and everyone enjoyed it. AUkOKA BOREALIS Our Social Activities Of coarse, we had to study this year, hut we had many good times as well. For instance there was: The Hallowe’en Party This party was an all-school activity. Everyone attending had a good time, and felt that social affairs in William Smith High had started off with n bang. Purse’s orchestra played for this occasion. The Girl Reserve Dance This dance was given December tin eighteenth. Every Girl Reserve was asked to invite another couple. The admission asked was some article of food, not to exceed a quarter in cost, and the dance was certainly worth that and much more. The food thus procured was distributed to some of Aurora’s families that were in need. This was pronounced one of the best parties of the year. The Junior Play and Dance On December sixteenth, the Juniors presented the play “An Adopted Cinderella.” There was a dance following the play, during which refreshments were served. Everyone enjoyed both play and dance immensely. The Senior Dance The Senior dance, given on February the tenth, was a very nice affair. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated in the blue and gold colors of the senior class. The Jordan orchestra played for a very peppy crowd who were out to have a good time—and had it. The Boy Friend Party The Boy Friend party, given by the combined (Jirl Reserve Clubs of Denver and vicinity at the Y. W. C. A. on March 11, was attended by several c.tuples from our high school. Senior Sneak Day on March 30th, the Senior class was permitted to go to the Red Rocks for their “sneak day.” And. oh, what a day it was! They left Aurora at seven-thirty on that Thursday morning, through drifts (not very big ones) of cold, cold snow. But the sun came out; the snow melted: and as we said before—what a day it was! Minstrel Show That Minstrel show! If you didn’t see it: you have a great deal to regret. The Junior-Senior Prom M ill you ever forget it? We know you won’t, if you were there. When that feast was placed before you—well, that was a real feed! And didn't you injoy those speeches? You could tell that they were right from the 1 ( art. The sjieakers all looked so nice as they talked, too. And will anyone ever forget our lovely “Prom Queen” in her white gown as sin led the Grand March? Her attendants helped to complete the pretty I icture as they received their corsages. Xo, if you were there, as. of course you were, if you are either a Junior or a Senior, you will never forget the twenty-second of April, 1938—the night of the Junior-Senior Prom The Senior Play and Dance—May 12 The Senior class, on the night of May twelfth, presented “Seven Kevs to Baldpate. ’ A large crowd attended both the play and the dance. The lii-Y All-City Banquet—May 8 Aurora entertained all Hi-Y clubs of Denver and vicinitv at a banquet given at William Smith High. May eighth, 1933. Wienie Roasts All the classes, even the sophomores, have enjoyed at least two wienie roasts this year. The Final School Party—May 24 This party was given for all the students of William Smith High by s°nie of tin mothers. It was a most enjoyable occasion, and we all say, “Hurrah for the mothers!” AURORA BOREALIS PLAYS The Junior Play The Junior Class presented tin play, “An Adopted Cinderella,” by Lillian Mortimer, at the William Smith 11 iirli School, December sixteenth, 1932.

Did you ever see anything to equal that senior play. “Seven Keys to BnldpateV Even the title is different, appealing and arouses one’s interest. This play was given at the William Smith High School, the twelfth of May. directed by Miss Gladys Martin and presented by that remarkable class of '33. Remember that all-star east?

Ntav Wav from Mv Door” “Sailin’ on the Robert E. Lee,” etc. ’ 1 My I)oor- The minstrel show was a success year’s aims on the part of the Hi-Y. and to rival it will he orte of next AURORA BOREALIS CLUBS Hi.y The Ili- Club haw been very successful this year, both within and without (lie school. At the (Jreeley Conference, Aurora was represented by eighteen members. This was one of the largest delegations there. Through the efforts of Mr. Travers, and the rest of the boys, we were able to elect Ruck Iturgess president of the Conference. In addition to this we won the basketball tournament by Ideating College High School. With the cooperation of the other hoys of the school, we had the largest number at all the all-city meetings. We defeated the Denver ami Suburban schools five times in succession, to win the Ili-Y banner permanently. The Ili-Y also sponsored the Minstrel show. As the year drew to a dose, the Hi-Y entertained all the Denver and Suburban clubs in the last all-city hampiet of the year. Diplomas were pre-sented to the seniors for their work in the various clubs, entertainment was made up of sketches and songs from the Minstrel show. In closing our most successful year we attribute a large part of our srncess to the leadership of Mr. Travers and Ruck Burgess. With the help of Mr. Day. their sponsor, the “A’’ Club held their annual Kather-and-Son banquet. At the close of the year the A” Club held their initiation. Several new members were initiated into the Club. They were: Earl McGowan, Dale Wright, Ned Bourg, Carl Lipner, Gerald Jordan, Harold Bowman and Earl Horner. Wasn't it a lot of fun? Remember those different countries, and the interesting people we met? In looking back. I find that the first place I remember is picturesque Spain. It would take much too long to go into detail here—but don’t you think it was really very beautiful? Remember China, and that pretty little Chinese girl? Wasn’t there something strangely familiar about her? Oh, and let’s not forget our pleasant stay in Mexico—that scenery—those dancers—and could we ever let the vision of that beautiful lady with the adorable little girl slip from our memory? These are just a few of the many places we stopped along the way, but I haven’t room here to mention them further. (n every way the Club has been a success this y,ar. And it has not been one or only a few who have made it this way. It. has been the splendid co-operation on the part of the entire Club that has made it such a vivid, harmonious, and happy memory. There is one thing we must not forget. Who wits it that led us on this world-wide excursion? Could we ever forget our wonderful president, Bertha Purse, and the able and ever-ready guidance of our advisor, Miss Marian Andrew?

AURORA BOREALIS FOOTBALL Although Aurora did not have a championship team this year, they did have one of the scrappiest teams they have ever known. The sportsmanship throughout the year was excellent and deserves commendation. The hoys fought hard and played clean hall. The team trained well, and under the coaching of Mr. Joseph Day, the hoys fought their way almost to a championship, being defl ated only by Golden in one of the closest games ever played in the Suburban League, the score being seven to six. In Aurora’s last game of the season she tied Arvada, with a score of twelve to twelve, thus tying with them also for second place. The games were well supported by the townspeople, faculty, and the student body. The enthusiasm and pep shown by them helped the team attain the high place it did. The team was led by Captain Buck Burgess. A large share of the credit goes to him for his punting and passing. lie was backed up by Clyde Heed, whose tackling stopped many plays directed over our lines. Raymond Alkire and Herb Guinn strengthened the team: Hay. by his line plunges; and Herb, by his passing. On the line Homer Day and Kenneth Brown played The ends and the center of the line were held by James Garkie. Gerald Jordan, Myrkle Kehoe, John Brooks, Dolph Marley, Victor McVey, Ned Bourg, and Red Brown. The other members of the squad were: Jack Koons, Paul Garkie, Lloyd Ferguson Allan Witherel. Harold Bowman. Franklin Bessert, Earl Horner, Kenneth Jordan and Red Brazlin. The ability will show up next year, as we will lose about fifteen seniors from the squad, nine or ten of them being first stringers, and all of them being prominent in athletics. A dinner for the squad was held at the end of the season, at which Coach Lacey, of D. lT., and the other suburban coaches of the league wen-present. Aurora—J.3 Aurora—2.

I suppose it’s all right: but I still prefer AURORA BOREALIS Basket Ball This year was the first time that any Aurora team ever played under our new colors, green and white. The team got off to a slow start and were defeated h.v Golden; but they soon climbed into the upper bracket and remained there till the end of the season. They then were defeated by Arvada in one of the best games of tin season. Aurora’s team was fast and had a smooth passing attack. The basketball games were also well supimrted by the students, towns-|M ople. and faculty, our gym being full every game and the games away from home being attended nearly as well. A lot of pep and enthusiasm was worked up by our three cheer leadrs, Victor MeVy, Connie Kiernan, and Carl Lipner, assisted by the Girls’ Pep Club. Captain Burgess was placed on the All-Suburban team and Paul Garkie and Iierb Guinn made tlie second team. P. Garkie was the high point man of the leagues. The other members of the squad were: J. Garkie, Kay Alkire, Red Brown and Harold Bowman. • The school will miss the seniors that graduate, as there will be left only three on the squad: Brown. Bowman, and McCowan. On tin whole, Aurora may well be proud of her athletic teams, as it has been a great year, and we hojie next year to have as good a team. At the close of the season, a dinner was given in honor of the team, which the boys thoroughly enjoyed.
