Faye Bartlett entered when we were in the fifth grade. In 1958 all of the present members except Dorothy, Marjorie, and John Yager, started our first year of high school. The most dreaded day was the day of our initiation. About two weekg after school started we were notified that on the coming Friday we were to appear at school in gunny-sacks and big overshoes. To complete our outfit we were B tear a rubber-bib with our name on it in white. In the afternoon we were made entertain the High School by singing and doing something that we couldnf possibly do. At eight ofclock that evening we came to the school house to be treated only as Green Freshman are treated. The evening gtarted out by the girls hiding from the Sophomores. After the Sophomores found the girls they proceeded with the initiation. After feeding us molassas and sulfur, worms, cat's eyes, and many other unappetizing things, we were treated to cookies and kool-aid.

On Thursday May 7, 1942 the seniors came to school very non- chantly and went through their morning classes in the customary way, all acting as though nothing unusual was going to happen, but when the noon hour arrived there was a great hustle and bustle of seniors changing auto tires, checking oil and gas, buying needed food, changing clothes, etc. At about 12:50 P.M. we were ready and waiting to get started. Mr. Sommer took Roscoe Urban, Marguerite Ritter, Eleanor Dugan, and Marjorie Yager in his carg John Woodis took Bill Matson, Hugh Harris, John Yager, and Dorothy Anderson with him. We went to Mr. Sommer's summer cabin up in the mountains ab' out twenty three miles west of Boulder via Denver and Boulder. On arriving at the cabin we found about three feet of snow drifted up around the front door so we had to go to the back door in order to get in. Hugh Harris climbed up on the house and removed the chime nay cover while John Yager shoveled a path fron the front door to the car and the other boys helped remove the window shutters, chop wood and build fires in the fireplace and cookstove. After the supper, which the girls cooked, was devoured, Bill Matson and John Woodis went fishing in a stream a short distance from the cabin, they returned in about an hour with nothing but a couple of pairs of wet shoes and sox. we spent the evening sitting around the fireplace listening to a few jokes, drying our shoes and stockings that had previously gotten wet, and wondering how frightened we would be if a wild cat or bear should come around. The next morning aiter breakfast we all climbed a long, steep, hill which looked easier than it proved to be. No casualities oc- cured except Dorothy Anderson lost a little skin while sliding down some rocks. We left the cabin at about 9:50 A.M. and der. we stopped at Barker Dam and took a few top of ite I On arriving at Boulder, we shopped a few drove around the University, and other places paid a short visit to the museum where we eiw fossils, different kinds of minerals and ores started down to Boul- snap shots from the minute s and then of interest. We ' many Indian relics, , before resuming our trip home, John Wbodis visited his sister and brother who attend the university. We were in Bennett in time for the track meet Fri- day afternoon. On arriving at Deer Trail we all heartily agreed that the time had been well spent and greatly enjoyed by all, -. ,- ,,.,.-,..,.....,-. nv... ...........- -Q.
