Qlnwperihmaitr . one of the most loved teachers of East Denver, passed away De- cember 3, l9l 6. Although she had been ill for some time, the news of her death came as a decided shock to the whole school. Miss Cowperthwaite was well known in Denver, as she began teaching here in l886. She taught at various grammar schools and high schools, and spent the last few years at East Denver. Her subjects were French and German, which she had studied during her six years abroad. She attended Wellesley College, and had a degree from the University of Chicao. The faculty and pupils of the school miss Miss Cowperthwaite and her influence very much. She will long be remembered for her loving services to East Denver, and although she has passed on, her work is still living and will bear fruitin after years. ll V 1 w 1 illllillllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIHIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIllIllllllIIIHIIIIIIIIIIllllllIHIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIllllIlllIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIllIIllIIIlIIIilllllllllllillllllllllllIIIIIIIIHflllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIlllllIllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIILIIIlIIIIIIIHIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIHI1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllIlIIllllllIllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllIlllllllllIllllllllllIlllllllllllllIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllIllllllllllIlllIllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllIIIllllllllllIllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Gllawn Gbliirrrn Alma Zliergvr Elnlm illluaavr 31112 Bunleang Eurntlyg Englanh Zixnutiur Qlnmmittnf 'Hirr-Brraihrnt Ereaaurrr Qllyairman, Exrrutiue Qlnmmit Philip Uhnmpaun Mario fllllrlzrr Hreaihrnt A Serrrtarg illrank 2-Xhamz Esta Svrlyreiher Allen Gllmmhrrlain Qarnlh Maryann Exnutiue Qlnmmittez Exerutinz Glnmmittvr Zlixerutiur lllnmmittn Exrrutinr Glnmmittn lllllllIllIlIIIlIIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllIlllllllllllllIIIIlllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllnllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!IIIIIIIlllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHllllllllllllllllll IIIIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllIlllIIHIIIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllHIllIlllllIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHIIIIHIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIlllIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII . 332 S Z7 -f A o if -fi , to I MARVYN SMI H ADAMS SANFORD I.

Everyone was in the holiday spirit, as it was only two days after Christmas, and the unusual amount of Hpepi' and real spirit our class has was shown again. The dance was held at El Jebel Temple, which was decorated with the school and class colors. The programs were brown leather with gold cords, and the music?-well, that was the best in town. Altogether the affair was so successful that it added more than one hundred dollars to the class treasury. PROM COMMITTEE LLOYD MACFARLANE, Chairman NORMAN BARWISI5 WILLIAM CRANE DEWEY LAMBORN JAMES MCCONNELL HAROLD BIRNBAUM WILLIAM KLINE 61 . .X K Svvntnr 1Hu'mr We were all in our roughing clothes, yep, even our Presi- dent, and we were bound for-oh, some place where the train was going, it didn't make much difference, you know, just so it went. Well, after we had had our pictures taken in about steen dif- ferent poses and had draped the engine with the class colors, the dinkey pulled out. After much labor on the part of the business end of the train We reached our destination. Then more pictures. When we reached our camping place-oh, yes, we had to walk, and it was hot-we all thankfully relieved ourselves of our packs, as it was terribly hard to keep them in one coherent piece. We had CPN e.,1.1d Hwieniesn for lunch, and we were some famished bunch of be.....rs. We ate enough wieniesn to supply the German army for a month. Those of us who were of a more ambitious and energetic na- ture then essayed to conquer the mighty works of nature, but we didn't get far, for those mountains are both high and steep, and that's a pretty formidable opposition as some found out, so we wandered down to the creek. The day passed swiftly, as such days will, and soon the crowd assembled. Finally we boarded the train and settled into those soft seats-such a relief! We were a tired crowd, but were still able to sing C91 and holler a bit, and after fifteen miles of continuous din we pulled into Denver. D. S. M., 'I 7.

That was in l9l4. Since that time we have developed into the best class that ever entered East Denver. While we were Freshmen we leamed many things, chief of which was our own ignorance and unimportance. In the interval between September, 1914, and September, l9l 5, we grew admirably, both mentally and physically, and, as became our station, we were treated with much more respect than for- merly. ' This year we are known as the brilliant Junior class. A large number of Junior boys have made names for themselves in X5 various school activities. This year's football team was composed, in large part, of Juniors, as six of the class of '18 made their mono- grams. The mainstay of next year's basketball team will be three Juniors, who distinguished themselves this year. The baseball team is practically all Juniors, while many of the track stars will be back again next year. Lest we forget, the Junior girls, in every way, have added pep to the class and have been behind all of our activities. To the class of 1917 we extend our sincere good wishes and our only regret is that more of them will not be here next year to graduate with the peppiest class that ever left these revered halls of learning.

Shall l go on with this? Boot: Yes, do. What now must come to this old shoe? Shoemaker: About your fate, sir, I'll relate, Her love for you begins to wane, And thinking you not up to date, She wanted other love. Boot: 'Tis plain! - Shoemaker: Last night when all was clark and drear Another suitor came to woo. She thought' of you. Boot fSighsj: U 'Tis clear, 'tis clear. Button Ski Shoe that deed will rue! How could he butt-in my affairs And steal my mate so unaware. Grieve not, old boot, a mate we'll find, Your sole-mate she will be. And l'm sure you will not mind The foolish act of Button Ski. Here is a dainty dancing pump, Whose mate's sole slowly wore away, But to your side she'd quickly jump If you the word to her just say. Dancing Pump fwith eyebrows archedj: To be his mate! 'Tis plain to see His sole-mate l could never be. My sole is thin and little, toog His is so big! l'd never do, And by his tongue l can discern ' That lies and false thoughts in him burn! Boot: That tiny tongue of yours can do More harm than my tongue ever knew. fLooking at the French Boot., fTo the Shoemakerjz Here is a boot to me she seems The idol of many, many dreams. Shes pretty enough, and stiff she looks, Shes just a dull kid. When she's old She'll need no brace or stay. Her place with any she will hold And keep her charming simple way. Boot fto French Booty: Of course l'm old and wrinkled, too, But for your mate, oh! will I do? Rich laces to you I'll present. My heart on wedding you is bent. French Boot: Your offer really llatters me, Though laces seem but bribery. My love for you will e'er be true fYour last mate was not so, I knewj, Though on her uppers all the time A spat would surely serve her fine. But coming back to what you say, I'll wed you soon, just name the day. ,And to the vamping Tip, Tap, Too, Which Shoemaker played on his last, The dull kid danced with the poor old shoe Without a thought of the weary past. Much simpler than most in fashion hooks. BESS HARVEY, l7. 7I , Qlnnnvrzatinn at at Breakfast Gable The following scene might take place in any home which boasts a daughter of high school age. The place is the breakfast table. Father is at the head, mother at the foot, behind the coffee potg the two boys and Aunt Bernice on either side, and one empty chair. A hasty step is heard in the hall, and daughter enters' and slips unobtrusively into her chair. You're a little late for breakfast, dearf' says her mother reprov- ingly. Yes, mother, I knowg I'm sorry, but it took me longer to dress than usual. This from the daughter as she unfolds her napkin. Huh, I don't see why it should take you so long to dress: you haven't got enough on to keep you warm, scoffs big brother, between bites. I think Tom is quite right, Margaret, says Aunt Bernice critically. Your throat is positively blue with cold. Oh, nonsense, Aunt Bernice. l'm not the least bit cold, asserts daughter. How do you like my waist, mother, on me, I mean? she asks. Very 'muchg that shade of yellow always was becoming to you. But don't you think it's too low in the neck? But, mother, daughter protests, it's got to be as low as this. All of the girls wear them this way. That's just the point, Margaret, mother and Aunt Bernice cry in chorus. Why clon't you be original in the way you dress? I shouldn't think you'd want to look like everybody else, mother adds. Oh, you never will see my point of view about that, daughter sighs. Say, Sis, youive got too much powder on the side of your nose, little brother puts in aggravatingly, Daughter dobs at the offending feature with her handkerchief. I think that you have a little too much on your chin, too, dear, mother objects. I do dislike to see young girls with their faces all covered with powder. Daughter sighs, but says nothing. She has learned that silence is the best policy in treating that question. What have you done to your hair, child? asks father curi- ously. She got that peeled onion effect from the movie she saw last night, didn't you, Sis?', inquires little brother. I always have liked the way your mother used to do her hair. She might show you how she fixed it,', suggests father mildly. l've got a bird's-eye view of little sister with her pair parted in the middle, big brother mutters quite audibly. Daughter pushes back her chair and rises, flushed and angry. I wish I could shave all my hair off and wear a mattress, she cries desperately, then, perhaps, you all would be satisfied! and she runs out into the hall. Really, Helen, that child grows more unreasonable every day, Aunt Bernice complains. I thought you were going to speak to her about the length of that skirt. As the voices reach her, daughter gives her hat pin a vicious jab, and runs to catch her car. W RILLA COLE. Imrmll C MZ BD DIDIII IPMCD IIZCD When we were Freshmen, we marched gallantly to the scene of battle. Strange, fierce-looking commanders stood in wait to muster us in. We were immediately ordered to meet Commander- in-Chief Remington, who warned us of the coming struggle and of its many pitfalls. He advised us not to engage too fiercely at Hrst in the combat, but to save our strength for times of crisis in the war. We, as a matter of fact, had to undertake a campaign against an army which had a German left wing, a Latin right, an advance guard of Algebra, and an aeroplane corps of English. V Q In the first battle of the Frosh a few fell, for the field was rough with Latin pits and entanglements. It was no light task to push through the English barracks built of personal pronouns, unity, coherence and emphasis. But with the constant prodding and en- couragement of our capable ofhcers we galloped past those obstacles victoriously. For the second encounter we were transferred to the main bat' tleheld, where we registered as Sophomore re-enforcements. Here we were placed under generals who were severe, but very tolerant of our mistakes. We waged many battles with Composition and Rhet- oric, and Geometry hill was well fortified with originals and corol- laries, so that we suffered many a defeat fwith a capital DJ before the conflict ceased. We again met with the forces of History under different commanders of strict discipline. Those of us who tried to profit by Cmsaris experience in the Gallic wars were hopelessly lost. We did not understand his methods of attack. We found the second year of the campaign filled with many profitable adventures, and we feel better mentally equipped for entering upon the next year of scholastic war. When we emerge on commencement day all of us hope to be adorned with a medal of the Legion of Graduates. JOSEPH C. HOUSTON.

The halls and rooms were Hooded with a radiance which bade fair to rival the sun, which was shining brilliantly outside. Whence came this glory? It was issuing from her Freshmen fmore commonly referred to as scrubsj. Each youthful face was glowing with expectation and suppressed wisdom. They fairly knocked each other down in their efforts to get in and get everything arranged. Some ran around the third floor in a vain attempt to find room 210 and then appealed to some self-satisfied Sophomore, who told them that perhaps, if they looked on the second floor they would see the number two hundred and ten emblazoned over the door. Others circled around the basement trying to find the reference library in the girls, lunch room and received a cold Look in l09 in answer to their S. O. S. They finally did settle down to really honest, hard work. They've kept at it, too. If one of those brilliant juniors would take a peep at some of the Freshmen cards, he'd discover that they had made as many AE for one quarter's work as he had acquired for his entire Freshman year. Perhaps then he'd feel a little respect for those scrubs. They intend to keep on work- ing for the entire four years, too, until they have won all the scholar- ships and anything else that can be won. The school board may even have to invent something new for them to tackle. Thelma Kauffman has received honorable mention in the Wolcott contest. She would have won it, too, if Lydia Begole had only been a little less brilliant in such things. At the parties given this year by the Welfare Committee some of the Freshmen danced so splendidly that they brought blushes of shame to the upper classmen and made them turn green with envy. Of course I'll admit that they haven't many tiny little babes in arms like Tom Freeman, or Merwin Mitterwallner, but they have several large huskies who really ought to have been allowed to play football this year. They can play in a year or two, though, and you just watch East Denver's football team in l920 get the championship again. She'll win every game she plays in football, then, as well as in basketball and baseball. All ready, one, two, three, Rah, rah, rah, East Denver! Rah, rah, rah, Nineteen Tlventyln ALICE FISHER, '2O.

D. H. S. runneth not to the contrary. We, the scholars, may be Fresh, but our honorable school has tradition and dust, memories and rickety stairs, history and wornout steps, as no other school in all Denver has. The little old lamp of learning, erected in the dark ages, still burns under the eaves-a rather solid flame, to be sure, but the spirit of the old place is there and the spirits of departed teachers and innumerable pupils seem to sigh through the cracks when the wind blows, and drift about us in the dust raised by many feet. The creaking stairs, the loose floor boards, the worn steps, all speak of other times, while the roar of the auto, the smell of gasoline and oil, seem an insult to this old place of learning. This build just think of it! ing was already old when E. DQ H. was built Was old when even Remy,' was a boy. So if we seem a little crude, If some of us are somewhat rude, If we're not strictly up to date, And cannot always strike the gait You older pupils dog just consider whence we come, That for us it's going some To even get our pictures took And have them printed in a book Along with such as you. VICTORIA FIELD. x 5 E 4 I G r ' I it i t n 1' i at 1 5 K ' is W 4 t .armor is f 'N .. , f ?, xv 1 QLA 6591 1 Many noted men have spoken to us during the four years of our High School course, and we of the Annual Board want to thank Mr. Barrett in behalf of the school for getting these gentlemen to speak to us. We have been very fortunate, as we have heard from men prominent as educators, politicians, individualists, and investi- gators. These men in a great number of cases have spoken to students in the East Side High School only, and it was due to the zeal of Mr. Barrett that we heard them. Their messages have been helpful and inspiring, and let us hope that our principal will continue to have such men speak to the students whenever there is an opportunity. ' The call has come for boys to aid in the production of food supplies, and East Denver has not been found lacking. When boys of East Denver are called upon to bear arms for their country, there will be a similar response. That time has not yet come for those who remain in the school. It will soon come to those who graduate. Some may be called on this year and some the next, but the call will surely come to all of them. They will not be found wanting in defending their nation, and all the knowledge gained at East Side will serve them in this task. As the boys in the lower classes pass, then graduate, they, too, will be summoned. Now is the time to be preparing-the more experience a boy has, the better he can serve his country. Our cadet system helps to train boys to fight, But the mental activity that comes from translating Latin and doing Algebra is helping to make them think quickly and is helping to make the kind of a man who does the right thing at the right time in the trenches. ' It is the duty of the boys who stay at home to do their best in preparing themselves for the fight that will come. - ,.,, .12 H 931. fW H5 Ir -. f5.' MQ B-115 Q Assembly in the lower hall is very trying for all concerned. The Annual Board would like to suggest that another year some plan might be thought of which would make it unnecessary to use the hall in future for opening exercises. Each year it has been the custom of the Senior Class of East Denver to make a gift to the school. This year we believe the class should give the school some stage fittings, scenery and any other things which would facilitate the giving of a play. Twice every year it has been the duty of lVlr. Pitts to beg, borrow or steal these various stage accessoriesg and to get them up and in order has been a great task. We advocate such a gift, although the class may have to co-operate with another to procure all the necessary equipment. The name of the class may not appear on a little bronze plate where everyone may read it, but nevertheless our gift would give enjoyment to the whole school. The lengthening of our working clay ten minutes has caused quite a disturbance among the pupils of the school. On those who must be at work by 3:00 oiclock, or who have to go to the bank, such an arrangement imposes a number of hardships. If we could go back to the old four-minute intermissions it would again be possible to close at 2 :35. The difficulty lies in the congestion at the main doors of the two big study halls. If pupils would pass in and out at the right of the door in Room 2l0, and use the main door of l08 in going out, and the cloak hall door in entering, much of this confusion would be avoided and so would help us to regain the precious ten minutes at the close of school.

Lucius 79 MCMAHAN, 'I 7 I , ai The football season opened the second week of school with thirty-five men out for the team, including the seven letter men- Captain Mitterwallner, McCutcheon, Lamborn, Ward, Holland, Briggs, and Freeman. There was much rivalry for the other posi- tions, but Reeder, Shumaker, Allen, and Vickery showed such marked ability that they earned the places on the team. The championship series opened with South Denver. At the end of the half the score stood 7 to 0 in favor of South Denver. I But in the last half East came back with her old fighting spirit and won the game by a score of I3 to 7. The second championship game was with West. The team went into the game over-confident and allowed West to make two touchdowns before she realized what had happened. But in the last half East made two touchdowns, but failed to kick goal, leav- ing the final score I3 to IZ. This defeat seemed to be the stimulus that was needed to urge them on to the championship, for the team practiced with a new vim for the next two weeks. Our usual Thanksgiving game resulted in an overwhelming victory for the Angels. From the first, Manual seemed outclassed, as East made a touchdown in the first live minutes of play. In this game Goldie, playing his first full game, showed up in fine form in the fullback position. The individuals who starred were Captain Mitterwallner, Shumaker, Holland, and Goldie. The North game, which had been postponed on account of snow, was played on December 9. This was the championship game. East went into the game with odds against her on account of her defeat by West. Both teams were in excellent condition, and each was determined to grab the flag. East opened the game with her steam-roller tactics, and by straight football and line plunges suc- ceeded in making the first touchdown. In the last half the Angels were successful in making another touchdown, winning the game and the championship by a score of I 3 to 7. Much credit for the team's success is due to the excellent work of Coach Puffer, who was ably assisted by Captain Mitterwallner. Special mention should be made of Bob Newton and Fred Brown- ing, who assisted Coach Puffer much of the time. Captain Mitter- wallner, Lamborn, and Briggs made places on the All-City team. i The season was closed by a delightful banquet in Mr. Bar- rett's ofhce, given by the cooking class.

The meet was not held on the date originally set, on account of a bad rain, but was held a few days later, while the track was still soft, so not many records were broken. . I Individual honors went to John Zack Jordan, who gathered a total of eighteen points. Jordan won the l IO-yard high hurdles, tied for first place in both the pole vault and the 220-yard low hurdles, and got second place in the broad jump and third in the high jump. , Williamson won the half mile race, making a new city record of 2 :06:2. He also won second place in the mile race. Captain Briggs was out helping the newer men every night. He also tied for first place in the pole vault and for third in the 220- yard low hurdles. Much credit is due to Coach Hall for the way in which he handled the team, and to Manager Knisel for the way in which he managed the business of the team. Ten men won their letters-Adams, Dunleavy, Briggs, Jordan, Kelty, Shumaker, Hamilton, Knisel, Williamson and Dean. Williamson,was unanimously elected captain and Ladd was chosen manager for next year's team. CHARLES DEAN, JR. EIHLV Ellllflinw 311IlKQI!9IlU1I0lL 391121 WLM?

The school gave us the use of the YH twice a week, where we had the best accommodations and facilities for prac- tice. Coach Puffer worked faithfully, training the fellows and teaching them the fine points of the game. A bunch of especially good material was de- veloped for next year. The able play- ers of the second team sometimes ran up greater scores than the first team. A large number attended every game, showing that the old East pepi' never dies, even in the face of defeat.

TROWBRIDGE, Mgr. p Girlz' iiiazkrthall Much interest was taken in the Girls' Basketball Tournament this year, Cur hopes for the championship looked bright at the first of the season, but our veteran guard, Mabel Reinsch, left school, thereby crippling our team con- siderably. Our first game was with West, in which we lost in the last second of play, but we won our next two games from South and Manual. When we met West again we came back in our old style, and won the game. This gave us a clear road to the championship. Gur last game was with Manual, and we lost. Over-confidence caused us to lose this game. The season closed with South and East tied for second place. A great deal of the success of this year's team is due to our coach, Allen Chamberlain, and Anna Riley, our captain. - We had two girls make the all-star team --Leta Schreiber as guard, and Anna Riley as forward. The team this year was as follows: Ruth Sellers, Frances Doyle, centersg Leta Schreiber fmanagerl, Julia Pit- kin, guardsg Annette Meyer, Anna Riley fcaptainl, forwards. Substitutes: Lillian Reinsch, Rena Morrow and Norton Schaeffer. Phillips, VVhite, Archey, Hoyt, Westergreen, Adams, Lamborn CCaptainJ The baseball team of 1916 came through two consecutive seasons with but one defeat, winning championships twice and bring- ing a silver loving cup to East Denver. This cup was given by A. G. Spalding Sz Bro. to the school which should win the pennant three times, twice in consecutive years. Eastis teams got the Hag in l9I2 and in the preceding year. i The team at the beginning of the season had but four letter men, but through the hard and steady work of Coach Puffer and Captain Cowen a winning combination, and one that East can be proud of was turned out. The team won the first two games, but when they met Manual, in the third contest of the season, they were defeated by a score of I2 to 8. This was a setback, but East re- covered and carried the rest of the games by good scores. The last game was with Manual. This was a championship game and brought the cup to East Denver. John Jordan, the sen- sational all-round athlete of East Denver, struck out twenty-one men, letting only one cross the plate. At the close of the season the letter men were given a banquet at the Kaiserhof hotel by the team of '87, and Weiss was elected captain for next year. There are ten letter men back this year, and the prospects of a champion- ship team are very good.

Sir Humphrey Silklyle, in compliance with His Majesty's most honored request, succeeded in getting the biography published after a great deal of wrangling and disputing with the bookbinders, who manifested great sympathy towards the public. By some strange freak of nature, Sir Humphrey Silklyle's book still remains unharmed and beloved by all readers of bad literature. It is with the greatest pleasure, therefore, that we, the publishers, sub- mit to the innocent public this wonderful volume of Sir Humphrey Silklyle. In a little thatched cottage, way off amid the wild sagebrush of Scotland, one day in the year 1871, Robert Redd Sideburns came to grace the universe with his immortal presence, aye, undying fame. He was the youngest of a family of thirteen children. His father was a wearer of the frock, and his mother a woman of great genius in the way of cooking and dish-washing. Both of these fond parents devoted their spare time to the instruction of their thirteen children. At the age of nine the potato crop having declared generous dividends to the Sideburns, little Robert was sent to the village school to obtain an education worthy of his already budding genius. His only work that he gave to the world at this time was the clever little ditty: Gurgle, gurgle, little brook, How l wonder how you'll look When you meet the ocean deep, On whose banks graze many sheep. The rest of this gem has been lost to a sorrowing public. The cause: Little Robert's love for flinging round paper balls, called spitballs in this day and age. While attending this institution of learning, our young hero's constitution was slightly weakened owing to the contraction of several diseases, namely, German measles, chicken-pox, mumps, scarlet fever, diphtheria and the like. A About this time his parents took Robert to the country to re- cuperatej His imagination took flight in the form of a number of airy doggerels, among which are, Ode to a Blade of Grass and The Pebbles That Shine in the Stream, Tra-la. After spending one quiet year in this manner, Sideburns re- turned to the village school. At the age of fourteen, the fact that the potato crop again declared dividends was hailed as a piece of right good luck. Robert Redd Sideburns was acknowledged now the brains of the family, and the remaining twelve took a back seat in order that Robert's talent for writing might get a fair show. The potato crop riches were piled at his feet that he might derive the benefit therefrom-and he did, all right. He became a scholar of the famous University Empty-head, on the banks of the Rhineube. When he wasn't enjoying life he was compiling a volume the title of which was Choice Verse. Fortunately, the dormitory in which he stayed was destroyed by fire, and the unfinished book with it. Sideburns was too discouraged to begin anew, so for two years he gave himself up to the study of the joys of life. But a sad day descended upon the Sideburns family, like unto an eagle that swoops down upon its prey. Mr. Sideburns, Robert's father, while out in the field one day, was kicked by a mule, and, as he had been ailing for several years, this event only hastened his entrance into the happy hunting grounds. Sideburns hastened home and took his place as head of a family of thirteen females-his mother and twelve sisters. At this period Sideburns, in a desperate frame of mind, wrote: Take me off to the trenches, And shoot me through the head, With thirteen women on my hands I might as well be dead. fHere it would be fitting perhaps to remark that because of a strong resemblance between Sideburns' twelve sisters and a deceased great-aunt they were as yet quite single., However, luck, for once, took Sideburns by surprise. Dur- ing the two following years in which he gave himself up to the care of potatoes, his mother remarried-this time a man of some means- and six of his sisters charmed six blind and innocent laddies. The wedding bells rang merrily over the Sideburns homestead. The six remaining spinsters went to dwell with their delighted mamma, who had moved to the city. Thus at the age of twenty-one or thereabouts we find Robert Redd Sideburns free to choose his own course. His love for gaiety and city life led him to direct his ambitious footsteps toward the capital. A For a year he sold shoe strings on the corner of the busiest thoroughfare. One day fate willed that Sideburns should read an ad in the Post. His Most Gracious Majesty was in need of a lackey to convey the Royal Chocolate Pot to his bedside each morn- ing. Sideburns at once applied for the job, and, as he had a pleasing countenance, His Majesty favored him. In this atmosphere of pomp and splendor, Sideburns' poetic soul know no bounds. In less than three months he had compiled three volumes of immortal verse. To his great distress and discomfiture, he one day let fall on the counter-pane, while attending His Majesty, a scrap of paper upon which were written the lines: - Fair Queen, with teeth so pearly white, And hair like lisher's net, With lips of cherry hue, And eyes of blackest jet, I Love-4- We think that the Royal Bell interrupted him at this point. At any rate the poem ended here, and His Majesty's wrath began. It took him two minutes to learn that his lackey, Sideburns, was the offender. His Royal Temper knew no bounds, and Sidebnrns was exiled to the Island of Saint Elbow for a period of twenty years. Many and -beautiful are the poems sung in sad strains to the accompanimentiof the lapping waves. His most noted ones being, The Bats That Build Their Nests Above, and another. written in honor of His Majesty, which Sideburns had the presence of mind to place in a bottle and fling far out in the sea. just as he had planned, it was discovered and conveyed to the. Royal Palace. ' In a short time Sicleburns was allowed to return to his native country. The Queen was dead, His Majesty was very kind to him, and not long after this crowned him poet-laureate, thus showing to the world that no ill-feeling existed between them any longer. ' Concerning the remaining years of Sideburns' life, there is little to be said. He enjoyed it to the highest degree. His Majesty and he were the greatest of pals-they ate, drank and hunted to- gether. ' A On his forty-fifth birthday a great feast was held in his honor. Upon returning home a rainstorm overtook him. He got wet feet, and died the next day with pneumonia. Great was the sorrow of the land, for the country had lost its most brilliant ornament. The poet was given a prominent place in his own home town. His remains were placed under the shade of the one and only tree that the churchyard could boast of. Pilgrimages are yearly made to his tomb, and those who visit it may read the epitaph composed shortly before his death, in Sir Robert Redd Sideburns' own quaint, inimitable style: Here lie my remains, as cold as cold can be. I loved life, but death too soon My spirit caused to llee. May those who read this epitaphy A little pity feel, And put a few buds on my grave, As by my side they kneelf' -Sir Robert Redd Sldcburlrs. LUCILE MCMAHAN. Svvrnnh lgrtv Svtnrg iltvtrihuiinn Billy was sitting still and thinking! Another 'week of torture was almost gone: another week of separation and isolation from his family, friends and, in fact, the world. This fact had repeated itself in Billy's mind until he could almost say it backwards. And now, as he sat propped up in bed, waiting for his dinner, and thinking over the same afore-mentioned bit of news, he suddenly awoke to the fact that tomorrow would, maybe, end his misery, that is, if the Doctor could be prevailed upon to say yes if he meant no and no if he meant that. Billy was a boy, and a human one at that. And more, he was thirteen. To some people, arriving at the age of thirteen, means very little, but to Billy it had meant a great deal, for he had just come to think and feel himself very important in the affairs of his family. He was rather short, and inclined to fit the saying, F at and good-naturedf' His small, twinkly eyes could look at you angelically one minute with his freckles, pug nose, and mouth con- tinually grinning, all combining to make his being a perfect picture of amiability, sugar sweetness fthat was almost too sweetj and friend- liness. But the next! If woman is as changeable as the wind, then Billy had a day in Colorado where all kinds of weather are exhibited at once, backed to the wall. There was one point in Billy's favor: he never could hold a grudge against anyone longer than fifteen minutes, and it was this which endeared him to everyone he met, saw, or came in contact with. . He had been taken sick with scarlet fever live weeks ago, and five weeks had passed in which he suffered miserably from the dis- ease itself, but now he was suffering from a disease which comes to meet convalescents, that of being in a tormenting, peevish. remorse- ful, teasing and angelic frame of mind all at once. Billy had reached that stage. If those five weeks of sickness had meant much to Billy, what had it meant for his mother and nurse? When he had heard the Doctor say he had scarlet fever and that a flag must be put upon the house to warn others as to the disease, he wondered vaguely what good an American Hag would do to keep others away. His little sister Ellen, who had first slyly found out that a flag was a large red and yellow sign with the words Scarlet Fever on it, lorded it over Billy for days, screeching just outside his door fhefore he had become so very sickl, that he didn't even know what a Hag was-didnit even know what a flag was, until he would willingly have given five years of his life to pound Ellen until she could screech no more! Then the Doctor came with his nurse, and that nurse, poor soul! had been Bi!ly's refuge. On her he had taken out all his fretfulness when so very sick, his crankiness when a little better, and now all his excess energy while he was getting well. She was a sweet-faced and strong young woman of about twenty-five, and her name was Mary Rath. Billy had no more idea of eternally calling her Miss Rath than of jumping out of bed and kissing Ellen, whom he hadn't even seen in all those Weeks. So he just called her Ratsy. Miss Rath didn't seem to mind, and I doubt if it would have done her any good if she had cared. All that time Ratsy and her young charge had occupied two ad- joining rooms, which were curtained off from the rest of the upstairs, and they had become very well acquainted with each other. Last week the Doctor had taken-a culture of Billy's throat, only to return with the verdict, Positive, which to Billy meant those blamed scarlet fever bugs were still hanging 'round him, and he couldn't leave his room for another week. So now he sat very still, reflecting. just then Miss Rath came in with a basin of water. ' Aw, say, Ratsy, lemme get up an' eat outa bed, won't you? I'll do anything a' tall, Ratsy, go on, coaxed Billy in his most wheedling voice. Ratsy smiled, but grasping at the aforesaid words of that young gentleman to do anything she wanted, as a drowning person grasps at a rope, she saidquickly, lf I do, will you soak your feet for a good half hour after a while? You bei! Now come on, Ratsy, where's my slippers an' my shirt an'-- Hinging back the bed covers with an arm fast becoming strong and forceful, Billy began rummaging at the foot end 'of the bed for his various apparel. After sending the winded Ratsy on a dozen and one trips to the other room to help find first his knife-he must have that to cut his orange-then his dressing gown, and then something else he forgot to tell her the first time, Billy was sitting in state again waiting for his dinner. ln the other room was the dumb waiter, on which had been sent to him all his meals from the kitchen. Now as he heard mother put the steaming dishes on its shelves to send up, Billy had an idea! He would surprise Ratsy and pull up their dinner him- self. He tiptoed into the other room, softly opened the door of the dumb waiter chute, called down, All right in a high nasal voice, which he vainly tried to make like Ratsy,s, and pulled. Down stairs he heard Ellen say in an important tone, I'll see that Ratsy gets it all right, mother, and Ellen poked her head up the black hole to watch the disappearing trays. And just at this moment came the inevitable. Billy never could tell how it hap- pened, but .in pulling he had shaken the dummy and the dishes rattled. Then before his very eyes the dish containing that won- derful brown hot gravy spilled, and dish and all went dripping through the narrow space that was between the dummy and the wall, and landed on something decidedly human. I One horrible long and almost everlasting second of silence, which seemed to Billy as if it never would end. just as he was beginning to despair of ever hearing poor little Ellen's voice in this world again, a piercing shriek, seemingly uttered by the god of Noise and Discord himself, which was followed by another, broke upon the stillness. Instantly the household was aroused. Ratsy came Hying. Billy precipitated himself into the other room. Mother ran to the wailing Ellen. The little girl was bent almost double, her head was hanging, she was shaking it as if she had been stung by a thousand bees. ' What on earth's the matter, Ellen? gasped mother, looking askance at Ellen's head, a mass of curls that seemed forever inex- tricably glued together by a brownish, soft substance oozing in a myriad of streams down her face. G-g-gravy, an'. Billy, sobbed Ellen, in a despairing voice, trying to wipe away the tears, thereby smearing her face all the more. Billy upstairs broke into a gale of laughter. I-le had been frightened for an instant, but now that no harm was done- it only got on Ellen's hair -he had doubled up in a chair, laughing and gasping in the most contagious manner possible. Then suddenly his loud gaiety was checked by the loud ringing of the telephone bell. Billy listened a minute almost breathlessly to the inflection of his mother's voice over the phone, and then, with another giggle lost all interest in the person on the phone. Ten minutes later he noticed a scrap of white paper under the door. I-le stared at it, a questioning look in his twinkly eyes, then walked slowly to the spot and picked it up. In big scrawly letters he found this epistle: ' Mn Gravy-spiller: The Doctor told mother you still got the Bugs, an' you didn't even know what a Hag was, an' you gotta stay in some more, an' you'll be Awful Sorrie 'cause I'll never watch your dinner up that black hole again, an' mother says jus' 'cause my hair's so sticky you gotta show me how to whisll. N 'Spec'fully an' your truli, ' I -Ellen Marietta Warren. And Billy was sitting still, thinking. MARIE W. Mia:LzER, 'I7. Svmnkvlrzn Svmnker Gentlemen!

Bear with me whilst I sing the praise of thy namesake at dear old East Denver High. The popularity of this one of thy numerous namesakes is best shown by its membership. About one hundred and fifty girls of accredited scholarship, representing the three upper classes, usually answer the roll call at the meetings, which are held twice a month on Thursday afternoons throughout the iyear.. The programs show the varied talents of the girls. This year there has been an unusually large number of good readers. Several authors were the subject of excellent papers. Herbert George Wells, whose ML Brittling Sees It Throughv was probably the best seller of the year, was the topic of an afternoon's study and discussion. One paper dealt with the life of Tagore. Some beautiful solo dances have been given, and we have had much good music, both vocal and instrumental. The popular Hawaiian instruments have come in for their share of recognition. One afternoon Mr. Whiteman gave an eHEt3I3EfQg interesting talk on Afro-American Folk Songs, These songs were sung by Mr. Whiteman. Nevin, our own American composer, would have been pleased could he have heard his best known vocal numbers sung and instrumental selections played after a paper on his life had been read. While the Minerva Literary Society is essentially a literary society, as its name implies, it does not neglect the social side of things, so whenever there was any money in the treasury the girls gave a party. Here study and criticism were forgotten, and Terpsichore reigned supreme. Twice a year new members are 'initiated with what might be called Stunt parties. Refreshments and dancing always follow the Stunts Also each year Minerva unites with Congress, first in a party and then in a play. Before saying good-bye, let me say to you that aside from the social enjoyment and a knowledge of general topics gained, the girls have formed many lasting friendships. WILLA FERNE F ERRIS, I7.

What! you say you are a good debater? Well, we want you just the same. Now, seriously, Jack, Congress has had and still is having one of the best years since its organization. Each member has worked and boosted for Congress. The result is that we have put through many measures and done many things which other sessions of Congress have tried to do and failed to accomplish. Congress did not adjourn this year at the end of the third quarter, but is still in session. Congress now has one of its members funcler the super- vision of its faculty member, Mr. Potter? as president.

I-Iaven't you seen those good-looking pins worn by members Calso girlsj? And that Con- gress-Minerva play? Mr. Pitts says there never was a better one. We have been trying to lay a broad, firm foundation for succeeding years. In doing this we have had a very busy year with more House-Senate debates and more out-of-town debates than ever before. On the social side we have had the customary Congress- Minerva play and party. In the Triangular debate Congress was ably represented by King, Birnbaum, Freedheim, Vickery and Strat- ton. In the Colorado Springs debate Rosenbaum and Deis de- fended the negative side, while Birnbaum and Blakeney defended the same side here. . Hjack, wouldn't you like to belong to such a body and per- haps hear the Hon.

Everyone was talking drills and army regu- lations, Squads of boys were making mysterious trips to the base- ment, where they endured various thumpings and poundings, went through certain startling contortions under the supervision of his majesty, the doctor, and were finally told that they were Ht to join this organization. In spite of the fact that the organization of the corps did not begin until the latter part of the school year, and that each cadet had to agree to pay fifteen dollars for a uniform, more than fifty boys fell in at first drill. Boys of every class in the school were here, of every height, and of every age, for this is no exclusive organization, its only requirements being: physical fitness, obedience, and strict attention to business. At one of the first meetings held, Kate Chase was elected sponsor for the company. As sponsor, Miss Chase is to all intents and purposes an active member of the company, and has a right to appoint six assistants. The girls selected by Miss Chase as her as- sistants were: Dorothy Beyer, Elma Harvey, Margaret Roosevelt, Elizabeth Morning, Marie Melzer and Magnolia Pitts. The com- pany also elected four men to act as its temporary leaders. Now followed many drills in the early morning before school, or in the evening after classes. Many times in heavy snow or splash- ing mud, and nearly always in bitter cold, the company did its squads right column left. But the boys stayed with itg few were ever absent at roll call, and finally there came a time when no one tried to execute a squads right when squads left was given. A board wall over eight feet high has been built, and at every Y' l --.1-1-1.1-1 in Y . I drill squads take part in contests at climbing the wall. To make up for all this work there will be a Military Ball at El Jebel Temple on May l9th. i V The Latin School Cadets organized at the same time as did the main building boys, with a roll call of fifty-nine members. Their sponsor is Elizabeth Rendle. Regularly every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday they come together for drill, and are fast shaping into the best drilled squad in the city. Even now they have beaten the Main Building Cadets in wall scaling by two seconds, their time being nine seconds.

The club has been recog- nized by the faculty of the school. It aims to promote good fellow- ship among the students of the school, to maintain a high standard of scholarship among its own members, and to be of general assistance in school activities.

More Mrs. Nicholas Wood State Erhatvz East Denver High, South Denver High, Arvada, Wheatridge, Central City and Colorado Springs constitute the Denver district of the State Debating League. The first debate took place on January IZ when this school debated with South Denver. The question was: Resolved, That a Policy of Shipping Subsidies Be Adopted in the United States for the Encouragement and Protection of the American Merchant Marine. East upheld the negative side of the question. The decision was 2-I in favor of South. The loss of the second debate, a double-header, sounded the death knell of our championship hopes. Colorado Springs had en- tered the Denver division at the last moment. We were notified of our double debate with them, contrary to schedule. This so upset plans as to make a school tryout practically impossible. As the Congress Debating Society of this school had already arranged for a private debate with Colorado Springs, they represented East in the state contest. Both debates were held on the night of Feb- ruary l6. Compulsory Military Servicei' was the subject debated. There was a decision against us in both places. The third debate was with Arvada, and East, as in the South debate, upheld the negative side of the subsidy question. Our team was victorious, winning a 2-l decision. This debate put new hope into the otherwise gloomy-outlook. East again met South in a double debate which closed the state debating season. As the Arvada victory evened the first South defeat so the unanimous East victory at both ends evened the Colo- rado Springs disaster. The question was: Resolved, That the Federal Government Should Own and Operate All the Telegraph and Telephone Lines. The home team upheld the affirmative side while the team that went to South Denver sustained the negative. Though the season has not been as successful as some of us may have wished, the students should remember that the school support, which is very necessary for the success of any team, was at the beginning of the year very weak. To the efforts of the coaches, Whitenack and Potter, and Assistant Coach Sobol, the success of the teams is due. Those who participated in the various debates were: Carol Brisbin, Dwight Morgans, Gustave Vogel, Milton Rabinowitz, Milton Meyer, Byron Cohn, Rollin Whitehead, Walter Rath, Har- old Birnbaum, Charles Blakeney, Charles Rosenbaum, Frank Deis, Eugene Freedheim and Howard Vickery. , W. F. R. Glriangular Bvhaiv This year marked the tenth annual debate between Pueblo, Canon City, and D. H. S. Congress. The question for debate was: Be It Resolved, That Compulsory Arbitration Be Adopted in the United Statesf' Although this question was of national im- portance, and very difhcult to handle, both of our teams presented their respective sides with great logic and fluency. After a hard and brilliant debate, however, the judges decided in favor of our opponents. The Congressmen who composed the team were: Hugh L. King and Eugene H. Freedheim, affirmative, Harold Birnbaum and Howard Vickery, negative, and Calos Stratton, alternate. Enngmnnt Brhatr ' On April I3, l9I 7, an East Denver team composed of Walter Rath, Dwight Morgans and Gus Vogel, debated at Longmont with a team from the High School there on Government Ownership of the Telegraph and Telephone Linesf' Longmont had very gra- ciously trimmed the stage in East Denver colors. The team from East Denver was composed entirely of members of the Forum, who supported the negative side and won the debate by a decision of 2-l. The night following Longmont sent a team here to debate with our afhrmative team, composed of Eugene Freedheim. Carlos Stratton and Charles Rosenbaum, all of them members of Con- gress. The decision was 2-I against our team in spite of the fine work done by our boys. ilinrum-North Erhaie The Forum-North debate took place after last year's Annual had gone to press.

Stage M anager- And thanks to the 'pep' and hard work Mr. Pitts donated to the good cause of making actors out of raw students. Barnstormer fmusing to himself,- Eleanor Handy certainly did make some leading ladyg she was so well adapted to the part of 'Suzanne' Stage Manager- What's that you're mumbling? Barnstormer- Don't you remember the great hunt for the 'Scrap of Paper' during the second act? Stage Manager- Do I? And 'Madame de la Glaciere' flsydia Begolel? Her sob stuff had wonderful realism. Barnstormer- She was good, all right. And so was Willa Ferris as 'Mathilde' when she was all dressed up in that riding scenery. - Stage Manager- And cute, too, I think. And of all won- ders, Magnolia Pitts as 'Mademoiselle Zenobie' made an admirable old maid. Barnsiormer- How she did keep 'Anatole' on the jump! Mary Belle Nicholson as 'Pauline' had some new and original ideas about servantsf' Stage Manager- Yes, and if she had some 'Parisian Corre- spondents' I should not be surprised. But Hazel Miles as the prim housekeeper, 'Madame Dupont,' certainly kept her in her place, be- tween dusting the furniture and feeding the canary. Barnstormer- But when that monocled icicle, 'Baron de la C-laciere' flzucius Hoytl, came in, everybody in the house felt a cold draft. E Stage Manager fsoftly and lightly?- 'Here Fidelef More- land Humphries as 'Brisemouche' was a gifted collector of curiosities, which he collected from Mr. Cannon's cases. Barnstormer- Harold Wagner as 'Anatole' was a fast young gentleman, but he fell for two bright eyes. A Stage Manager- What could you expect with such socks? But he had nothing on Dan Cushley, who led a double life as 'Baptiste' and 'Francois'-faithful servants' parts, which he fitted to a ' Barnstormer- What was that disturbance between acts? Stage Manager- Why, that was the high school orchestra rendering pleasing and popular selections to the delight of the audience. Barnstormer- What are you going to do with that sack of gold you're dragging around?', Stage. Manager- Why, Congress and Minerva are going to present that to the school to create a fund for debating and other literary activities. Barnstormer- Good enough: but it seems to me there is some- thing we left out. Stage M anager- Didn't I see you adorning the stage? Deep silence on the part of the barnstormer. Stage M anager- Yes it was you. You can't hide it from me. You portrayed the part of 'Prosperf Say, you were handsome like Bushman-when -you were made up. But in spite of your looks, you made a good leading man. Barnstormer-- Aw! have a heart! You're a fine scene shifter, but as a critic---I Yet all in all, it was a fine story and they played it well. And, what's more, it was a great financial success, even if the price was reduced to I5 cents. Perhaps you know some- thing about thatg how about it? Deep and prolonged silence. Curtain.

GOD BLESS 'EM Have you ever heard of East Denver- The wonderful school of the West, Where learning is dealt out in carloads, And teachers are all of the best? These teachers I'll tell more about 'em, For they are an interesting lotg They've all got their hobbies and fancies And know what they want, and what not Mercy and pity they have noneg Take delight in giving out '6D's g It's seldom that A's', are the fashiong At most it is usually C's . 'Bout being on time to our classes, These teachers of ours are quite sot. If one should suggest an improvement, F or him they would sure make it hot. The years don't change or destroy themg They always remain at their post. The pride and joy of East Denver, The teachers: I.et's give them a toast. LUCILE MCMAHAN.

Now, little ink-well, don't you sigh- You,re sorely grieved I know, 'Cause the tricks we did And your broken lid Did vex your patience sog But you'll get a new lid by and by- Now, little ink-well, don't you sigh. Now, little ink-well, don't you sigh- We have been unfair, I know, You've served so well V For quite a spellg And when we're gone we'll miss you so: But just you wait-behave we'll try- Now, little ink-well, don't you sigh.

Y SPRING In the spring the verdant Freshmen Wear class colors, so that they Won't be taken for a weed patch, And cut down and hauled away. In the spring the sporty Sophomores Blossom out in purple shoes, And a suit that is the latest, In the reds, or grays, or blues. In the spring the joyous Juniors Evolute some meanness newg Keep things moving 'till the poor Profs. Don't know what to think or do. In the spring the mighty Seniors Feel the weight of coming care- I-Iope the world will hold together 'Till they take control-out there. In the spring the tired Professor Grades exams, all kinds galoreg Falls asleep upon the papers- Wakes to find school is no more. RUTH VAN HORN. BROKE The noon bell tolls the knell of tedious work, The rising crowd runs swiftly through the hall, The teacher in the oflice seems to lurk, And lunchroom buns with lurking look do call. Now fades the thought of fish-cakes from my eye- My purse not one small penny does it hold Save one lone coin with which I mean to buy A wienie sandwich, though it may be cold. Beneath that lofty roof, that structure fine, Where grows the mind in many a learned path My senses for the longed-for fish-cakes pine, And cost of living fills my brain with wrath. Full many a cake with chocolate frosting made, The lunchroom stove has baked with greatest car Full many a sauce on finest pudding laid, With pleasant odors fills the basement air. Far from the noisy crowds' much envied meat My sober wishes had to learn to stay, Along the cool, sequestered downtown street I had to walk--no fish for me that day! RACHEL DENISON, '17, 9 C K i I ' 1 WHEN WE MEET TO SAY GGOD-BY Amid the rush and hurry of the parties and the fun, With plans for graduation and the honors to be won, There comes a lonely whisper, and it echoes with a sigh, For the time is drawing nearer when we'll meet to say good-by. Four long years we've worked together-long they seemed, day after day, But to us now looking backward--Oh! how soon they slipped away! And our bonds each with the other, held in friendship's closest tie, Will be hard to break at parting--when we meet to say good-by. Many happy days we've spent here, and the few We can recall That were sad and full of trouble now seem, strangely, best of allg For they knit us close together with a sympathetic eye That will make us long to linger-when we meet to say good-by. But we must not tarry longer, for we each have heard the call, And we're ready for lifeis battle with its chance to fight or fallg And the thoughts of dear East Denver that within us deeply lie Will make the parting sweeter--when we must say good-by. i ELEANOR I-IoBBs, 'I 7. l3l SAD! ISN'T IT? Even we girls of East Denver High Have felt war's oppression so great, If you will believe it-'tis sad, but true, We've come to a terrible fate. Our brave, bold companions, the boys of our class, Have decided war's heroes to be, A So they're leaving to shoulder the ralce and the spade ln numbers alarming to see. They want to be farmers and help raise the crops That are going this nation to feedg VV e must watch them go with a smile on our face, Although we bewail them, indeed! For on that great night, when we all graduate, 'Twill be such a sad sight to see Nothing but girls-so we shall be termed A Young Ladies' Seminary. LUCILLE MCMAHAN. l32 ON TI-IE BANQUET WE DIDNT EAT The class day party was over, And slowly we walked down the street, Pensively and dreamily, Thinking of good things to eat. V The banquet was fine, said my friend to meg Such wonderful consomme! And that chicken patty-I can taste it yet. And the child smiled blissfully. I looked at my friend in amazement. Was the poor girl losing her mind? What do you mean? I saw no patty, No consomme so fine. But now again she was raving In that same delirious way. She,s in Pueblo now, poor girl! And there forever she'll stay. HELEN RICHARDS. 133 Q 1-up 7 1 5' 6 IN ARMS Member of Annual Board- lVIr.r Cannon, we want to get a new stunt for the Annual.

SOMEBODY, WE KNOW, WILL SYMPATHIZE WITH US .At 12:01 New Year's morning some practical jokers from this class phoned to a Psychology teacher well known here. After sev- eral minutes the sleepy teacher came to the telephone. Hello, he heard a voice say. Is this one-nine-one-seven? No, this is South three-three-eight-six, he answered gruffly. Well, look at your calendar! replied ,the joker. I know no such person, growled the Psychologist, banging down the receiver. I-Ie was called from his warm bed again, only to hear another voice say, Is this one-nine-one-seven? Oh, you say it's South three-three-eight-six! Well, look at your calendar. Happy New Year.

There are several kinds of mufflers, There is the contraption that looks like two cir- cular pieces about two inches across, cut out of an old stocking and fastened together with a shoe string. Old-fashioned old gentlemen wear them under their black derby hats to keep their ears warm. Then there is the eight-dollar piece of silk that the budding youth wears to protect a fifteen-cent collar. Its warmth is in its color. As a derivative of the muffler comes the muff. It is a barrel-shaped affair, made out of the fur of some deceased animal, and is intended to keep the beefsteak and handkerchief from freezing. Once in a while some old-fashioned old lady uses it to keep her hands warm. We must speak also about the mufflers on automobiles. They are used as a preventive of warmth. They are worn to prevent the warm, dark-brown flow of language that emanates from a traffic cop when he hears a ninety-horsepower engine trying to blow a piece out of the street. All mufflers but these are marked Not included in general equipment. Some mufflers are intended for other purposes. There is the muffler that fits on the end of a gun. It enables a man to approach a fellow-being, curdle his brains by stirring them the wrong way with a large, irregular piece of lead, take his watch and club pin, and walk on to the next customer without being bothered with troublesome cops. These are very useful, because they don't have to be cleaned as often as knives. The word muffler is derived as follows: It comes principally from the word muff, which, in baseball parlance, means to miss. The rest of it is the suffix er, which is self-evident, When Miss F rigidity comes to make a call, you put on your muffler and miss 'er. fWell, it's plausible, ain't it:-'J JACK CHAPMAN. OTHER MUFFLERS Now, it is my opinion that if some Thomas A. Edison or Henry Ford the Second could invent a muffler so that when Mr. Barrett raises his hand for silence in one of those well beloved Assemblies in the Lower Hall, silence would ensue. After this invention is patented and made a success, the clever inventor might go a step farther and construct an attachment to fasten on the teeth, so that the gum-chewing high school girl could be seen, but not heard. HELEN CHAMBERS. Miss Fraser, when discussing books, said, Now, I remember when 'The Inside of the Cup' came out. I Elankrtg Herne I have often Longed To write Poetry, But, alas! When I Essayed it My feet Would become Tangled, and my Meter was always Condemned by the Bureau of Standards As being Incorrectg So I had given it Up as a bad Job, until the Other day I Saw that the best Poets 143 Were not writing Poetry, but Were expressing Their souls In Vers Libre, Which is Putting down what You want To say in Spurts, like the Running of an old Tin Lizzie, And keeping your Front line Straight as you Can.

The members of the Board have become experts in messenger serviceg they are worthy of positions as editorial writers on the New York Timesg and they might set up a photographic studio and make plenty of money. They have worked o' nights and used study hours to turn out the best book possible. If the under classes don't like it as it is, they can try to make a better one next year. If the Seniors object, it was their fault for electing such a Board. However, the editors are human, and they probably have made gross blunders of the worst sort, but they ask to be pardoned, and would like to suggest that if these errors are too bad for your sensitive eye, a blot of ink is an excellent eradicator. As a last resort it may do your feelings good to vent them on the Board, and if this is the case, write us a letterg and, if you want an answer, enclose a stamped, addressed envelope, and we will attempt to mollify your feelings toward us with plenty of good excuses.
