Tl, cn By Lois Biles Seventeen little Seniors a-sitt'ing In n row, L« ft from out the first-grade elass oi just twelve years ago; Seventeen HAPPY Seniors, glad to be alive, Bind th’ey’re about to graduate in nineteen thirty-five; Giad to have their memories of this, their senior year. Mid of the many things they’ve done; perhaps you’d like to hear, “I)ress-up day” and “sneak day”—both these they’ve enjoyed— Please don’t sjMiil it all and say: “Time COULD he better employed.” March, you know, was a windy month, but when the dust had cleared away “Digging l'p the Dirt” was staged• THAT was the senior play. Our school's Head Girl and Head Boy both are members of this class, too— Kthel II. and Melvin C.—both well-known to you. Bill Thompson is our president; throughout the past two years lie's held the job. and for our “prex” we give three rousing cheers. Khodu Johnson’s a president, too; of the Student Council, she. And also of the Girl Reserves; a good one, you’ll agree. Margaret, Lloyd, und Alice just joined the class this year And that is why, as Seniors you see them sitting here. Seventeen little Seniors just that and not one more Please, Father Time, turn backwards; ’tis now nineteen thirty-four. Fourteen little Seniors from out the seventeen Unrolled in our class in ’thirty-four and said they found it keen”; Nellie Dillon and Melvin—we were glad to have them come; We were very busy as Juniors and we tried to make things hum. Our Prom—do you remember?—in the truest cowboy style We put it over and think that you'll remember it a while. Oh. now. good Father Time, please heed again my plea; Instead of ’thirty-four, pretend it’s now nineteen thirty-three. Fourteen little Seniors a-sitting in a row: But when we go back to ’33, two of them must go. Twelve of these same Seniors were Sophomores full of pep; That .year we entered Senior High, and had to watch our step. Bill Sweeney was our president and with him to see us through In the class-scrap we fought bravely; now we must bid adieu To the Sophomore year, although Clarence and Allen go away; For they joined with us us Sophomores, we’re very glad to say. Ten little Seniors of those who came from out the Junior High They were quite upper-class”—and full of pep? Oh, my! Turn back again, good Father Time, to thirty-one, let’s say; There we lose Bill Watkins, Frede, and Mary Kay. Onward now let’s hurry; well, BACKWARD is what we mean— And look at this “gang closely—seven only will be seen. The year?—well, about 11130, I think we may suppose— And about that time came “weiuie roasts”, dancing, and having “beaus”. Ethel Mullins came to us that year so now she’ll have to go. For still time’s fleeting backwards—our history has it so. Six little Seniors only—'twenty-nine, the year; The Last Will and Testament We, the Class of 11«5. realizing that the remaining days of mu high school career are numbered, do hereby make our last will and testament, to 1k executed and properly probated upon the final day of our dfemise. I, Margaret Barker, leave my ability to get a husband to Sibyl Nicholson. I, John Wood, leave all the sni] es behind the school to Stanley Burke. 1, Clarence Walker, leave a lemon pie to the second year Spanish class. I, Allen Hicks, leave my firmness of will to Louis Williams. 1, Mary Katherine (Jordon, leave all my boy friends to Alaine Ileed. I, Lois Biles, leave my “gift of gab” to Barbara Cartwright. I. Joyce Kloppel, leave my “Mae West” shape to Faith Barron. I, Nellie Dillon, leave my ability to consume waffles to Frances Shipman. 1. Lloyd Ferguson, leave my way with the ladies to Elza Dillinger. I. Melvin Chambers, leave my winning smile to Richard Thompson. I. Freda Haltiner, leave school. I, Rhoda Johnson, leave my duck to “Doc” Bouton. I, Ethel Mullins, leave my membership in the High School Honor Society to Boh Thompson. I, Bill Sweeney, leave my good English grades to Alfred Marley. I, Alice Rock, leave my appetite to Anne Mehl. I, Bill Thompson, leave my altitude to John Wilbanks, I, Bill Watkins, leave my “professional manner” to Raymond Wilbanks. Signed, sealed, and witnessed this day. The third day of May, A. I)., 11)35. Testifiers: THE SENIOR CLASS, Witnesses: ALLAN WITHERHL, ALFRED STOUT. FROM NOW TILL THEN (Continued from Page 5) We’ll have to see Bill S. and Joyce depart from us, I fear. Four little Seniors a-silting unafraid You might have seen these same four in the second grade. Backward, relentlessly backward and we lose Ithoda and Johnny Wood— A thing about a “backwards tale” that isn’t quite so good. And now we’ve reached the first grade, the beginning of it all; Do you recognize the tow-head, and the hoy, not so tall As you see he is tonight, that began this famous class? Bill Thompson is the little lad, and Lois Biles, the lass. Now, kind Father Time, rush FORWARD, forward through the years— For we’re glad we’ve lived them every one—their joys, their hopes, their fears We’re glad for all the fun we’ve had—glad we are alive And mighty glad to graduate in nineteen-thirty-five. By Helen Brooks J. Narinova Sohnizzlewitski, crystal-gazer extraordinary, am Hitting Iwfore my crystal hall. Sadly I depore the state of business when I see a little crowd of women come hurrying up the walk. Ah, I think, the Woman’s Auxiliary, hut I am wrong. They tell me that ilii .v in the mothers of the members of the Class of '35, Seniors of the Wm. -inlth High School. They desire to know what their darling cliee-ildreu will be ten years hence • • . First I tell them that I see a very luxurious salon where on a little lighted stage, maniquins keep turning and turning. To one side I see an extremely smart woman standing beside a very snooty fat lady. Yes, it is Madame Uhoda Jeanconne, the most fashionable modiste in New York. The scene changes � ■ • • There is now lw'fore me a small waffle shop. The proprietress, one Nellie Dillon, keeps dexterously flipping an egg into the air. The door opens, and In comes • ah, yes—Bill Thompson, the famous auctioneer, who orders waffles. Now I see a barber, shop in the same metropolis, Aurora—and by the •hair lands a blonde, curly-haired barber. It is Bill Sweeney. Again the scene changes. I see a great circus tent. The rain is drizzling down upon it. but despite this Bill Watkins in high silk hat begs a few stragglers to see the oddest freaks on earth. At a nearby stand Alice Rock watches over some soggy hot tamalaes. The rain drearily falls on them and they sizzle, but ever and anon she lifts up her voice to cry out weakly, “Hot tamales! Il-ot to-a-amales!” Ah, now we have a welcome change. Before a select group a teacher, Ethel .Mullins, lectures on that important thing, charm. There is before me now a wide street crowded with hurrying traffic where, directing the confusion, stands Clarence Walker, the lordly traffic cop. In a moment I see in my crystal ball a small fellow l nf studiously over a large dictionary. He is John Wood, U. S. Amateur of the National Orthographical Society. Next appears a noisy lighter! rink. Joyce Kloppel, a champion roller-skater on all fours, is speeding around with her skates on hands and feet. I see Lois Biles walk briskly up to the door of a home. She knocks, the door opens, and she begins to sell the unlucky housewife an insurance policy. And who should the housewife be but Freda Ilaltiner—Haltiner Smith, who has three sets of twins and four singles. The picture fades. Here is a new picture, a desk littered with papers. On one side is a sign which reads, “Margaret Barker—Fashion Editor, The Denver I’ost.” Again we are back in the great city of Aurora. 1 see the public schools, and in the official chair sits Allen Hicks. In another part of the building, I observe the Ping-Pong coach giving his daily lecture to the bored students. It is Lloyd Ferguson. On the corner of Fulton and (’o)fax I gaze upon a woman orator. She flings her arms into the air and shouts, “Down with the men!” I know !t is Mary Katherine Gordon. From a private office on (he same corner bursts a man wildly tearing Ms hair. Evidently he violently objects to the noise, for he, Melvin ('liambers, is the first graduate c Aurora to become an Ornithpathprocon-outiopodist. As this is the last one, the women rise, reluctantly pay the piper, and leave mo to the evening shadows. $« � , SENIORS First Row:- Loft to Right—Freda Haltiner, Lois Biles, Margaret Barker.

GIRL RESERVES Girls, do you remember that initiation? The darling long underwear and the crank case oil were simply grand. This is tin first year the G. It. has ever given an informal initiation. After that came Recognition Services, and we were full fledged G. R’s. With the help of the Hi-Y we gave a dance at Christmas, to make up baskets. We had a speaker from Colorado Woman’s College who spoke on etiquette. We then hud a dinner in which we were supposed to put our newly-gained knowledge of etiquette into use. From reports some of us left our etiquette at home. Then a woman came out from Denver to tell us How to Keep Beautiful,” and how to have the ’ skin you love to touch.” This, of course, was very interesting. Every Wednesday wo had hobby groups at the Y. W. C. A. There was a group for almost anything you wanted to do. Once a month we had Community night at the . Those dances were fun, but oh! how our hearts felt when we asked the boys for those dates. A woman gave us three lectures on Social Relationships. Altogether the G. R’s. have had a year full of usefulness and fun. The new officers for next year are: Pr si(lpnt .....................................Anne Mehl Secretary .................................Kathryn Gessinger Treasurer ....................................Frances Sheehy Inter-Club Council Rep.........................Mary Inza Fry Hi-y First Kow: Left to I� ,ml amllin, Bussed fteidenberg.

III-Y The Ili-Y started the season with the usual mock initiation, followed |,y the serious initiation. A series of talks on crime were given by speakers from Denver, In place of the annual Minstrel Show, an Operetta was given by the lli-Y and Girl Reserves. Everyone remembers the Ili-Y dance. It was quite an affair. To end the season we held the last All City meeting at the Aurora Gym. If it had not l� een for the mud, all would have1 been fine.

I mler the leadership of Miss Martin, sponsor; Florence Witlierel, president; Mary Jane Lipner, vice president; and Pauline Christen, secretary-treasurer; ihc club has really accomplished things this year. The lirst thing we set out to do was to get the entire club in uniform. This took quite a while, but we did succeed in being in uniform for the first basket l all game Gnu-uniforms are white linen sj ort dresses, with kelly green bolero jackets, tics, and belts. A white sailor hat completes the outfit. They have been considered quite attractive. Then, under the supervision of our president, we put on drills at all the home games. These were appreciated very much, ami really showed co-operation on the part of the girls. Among the activities sponsored by the club was a candy sale. We are intending to have another, and also to give a social. Then the Athletic Banquet was given May 17, in honor of the football and basket ball squads. I ne mothers helped put this on and deserve high credit for it. The last thing we did this year was on Green and White Day. We were there in uniform and furnished pep in big helpings for the event.

This year it was a masquerade dance, with prizes given for ihe best costumes. GIRL-RESERVE—Hi-Y DANCE Tills dance was gi en by the combined clubs. It was heid on December 21st. Cor pica were invited from all Denver High Schools. GIRL RESERVE SOCIAL tin February 10th, the Girl Reserves gave a night social. First an impromptu program was given, and dancing followed, with Miss Flaniken playing the piano. We all agreed, tnougli, that it didn't last long enough. PROM The Prom sponsored by the Juniors this year was a grand success. There were fifty-four couples attending. The gym was decorated in Japanese style. Just before intermission came the crowning of the Prom Queen. She and her attendants were taken to the stage in a rickishaw, drawn by (’oolies. The Prom Queen was Ethel Mullins. The attendants were Joyce Klop-pel, Rhoda Johnson, Mary Jane Lipner, Josephine Reynolds, Verla Pareher, and Marie Webb. Following this was. the Grand March. Corsages of sweet i� oas were given all the girls as remembrances of tiie most beautiful affair of the year. JUNIOR PLAY—?-?-? The Juniors gave their play the night, of December 14th. Despite a few catustrophits at rehearsals, everything went off well. There was a large crowd attending. SENIOR PLAY, “DIGGING UP THE DIRT” March 22nd was a big night for the Seniors. Lloyd and Allen Hicks socmen to have quite a lot of trouble with their blankets, but the audience thoroughly enjoyed it. We hope the Senior play next year will be enjoyed as much. PEP CLUB BANQUET The Banquet was given May 17th. The boys seemed to enjoy the occasion immensely, judging by the way they ate. The girls served table, in their Green and White uniforms. WEINER ROASTS Once a month after school the various classes alternated and sponsored socials after school, lasting until dinner. The Sophomores are to l� e commended for their unusual social. These socials were a new experiment this year, but proved very successful. Every class had two weiner roasts held at the Red Rocks. RALLY Will we ever forget it? The huge bonfire and the snake-dance through town, to give the boys a good start in football. It seems that quite a few of the fellows had a good time gathering wood. OPERETTA Ender the leadership of Miss J ary Flaniken. Music has l� een put back into the school curriculum this year. Oil April 30th an operetta. The Gypsy Rover'’, was presented by the music division which was a fitting climax to the year’s work. Music, we feel, has proved itself very worthwhile. Aurora Trojans opened the 1034 35 sport cam pa inn with a new coach. T'pon the resignation of Joe Day, who had been appointed in the High School at Kedando Beach, California. Ted Anderson was appointed coach. GYM This year gymnasium was put back into the school, for both boys and girls, after its removal two years earlier. It has created much physical development and hygienic learning on the part of the students. Many excellent phases of sports, including tumbling and tap dancing, were studied in the girls division of this required subject. These gymnastic activities were enjoyed by every girl and added to their knowledge as well. The learning of the girls gym class was exhibited on the 10th of May. Athletic letters were presented at that time to girls having earned them by their untiring efforts to learn and by taking part in the majority of the gymnastic activities. TRACK The Aurora High School team, under the direction of Coach Anderson, participated in track for the first time in several years. The track team participated in two track meets: one at Brighton, and the other at Golden. Creditable showings were made at both meets. I.ouis Williams took second place in conference scoring, and was picked on the second all-conference team. FOOTBALL Only six lettermen reported for football. The rest of the squad was made up of small, inexperienced players. Coach Anderson was forced to place a team on the field made tip of members whose weight did not even average 14. pounds, most of whom were inexperienced. Due to these complications, Aurora was unable to win a conference game, but the team won the reputation of being the scrappiest team in the conference. Aurora gained one valuable asset through the ’34 season, and that was experience. Every player who showed promise got a chance to play, and since the team was made up mostly of freshmen, sophomores, ami juniors, the school should be able to place a championship contender on the field next year. The following earned letters: Bouton, Marle.v, Wood, Estrada, Fergu- son, Biekenbach, Andrews. Cundlin. Monroe Watts, Stillwaugh, Blauw, Thompson, Williams and Sparks. BASKETBALL Lack of experience also hampered the basketball team but great improvement was shown in the team us the season progressed. Even though the team lost more games than it won, all games were close and hard as the scores indicated. The team was composed of Marley, Estrada, Biekenbach, Cundlin, Williams, Bouton. Stillwaugh, Watts, and Boyer. INTERCLASS The school basketball championship was won by the sophomores; Indoor, by the juniors; and track, also by the juniors. Green an d Wlute Day Green and White Day was held on Friday, April 10, 1935. This is the second year Aurora has had a color day. The day was started with an assembly. A very clever puppet show was given by pupils of the eighth grade. The winners of the track events held in the morning were: Boys 100 Yard Dash............... Foie Vault..................
