Senior Class History In the fall of 1926 the following students enrolled as Freshmen in the Estes Park High School: Harry Billings, Franklin Camp, Calvin Finn, Gorden Hansen, Ida Harris, Roger Low, Edna McCart, Mildred Perkins, Victor Rinehart, Marie Richmond, Asa Stevens, and Russell Walker. We were timid Freshmen and did not accomplish much either in athletics or in scholarship. During our Sophomore year we aided the Juniors in their play The Seven Keys to Baldpate”, and helped them with the Junior-Senior Banquet. Among the reverses suffered during the year was the loss of nine of our members. The only newcomer being Jac Hornor. Then came our Junior year with Margaret Miller joining us. Our Junior year proved to be a repetition of our Sophomore year, helping the Seniors with their class pUy Deacon Dubbs”. We managed to entertain the Seniors, Faculty and School Board at a fish” dinner at Spragues. As Seniors we were known for our lack of cooperation which finally led to a protracted Senior War: Class rings or Not, Caps and gowns or Not, Senior Sneak or Not. Anyway, we assumed many important roles during our last year: Calvin Finn was president of the Student Council; Harry Billings and Calvin both played on Basketball and Football teams; Margaret Miller and Thelma Brown took prominent parts in athletics. In scholarship we secured first place several times, and took leading parts in all social activities of the school. Senior Week-Junior-Senior Banquet, Class Day, Senior Class Play, Baccalaureate, and finally Commencement—and we find ourselves among the alumni of E. P. H. S. —Margaret Miller 15

The Senior Class Will We, the class of 1929, supposedly being of a sound mind, do make and publish this, our last will and testament. To our beloved Faculty we bequeath all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various papers. We trust that they will feel perfectly free to make use of these bits of wisdom for the education of the future classes. This is left entirely to their personal discretion. To the Junior Class we give and bequeath all items in the following list, to which we do declare them the real and rightful successors:— 1st. Our seats in the class and assembly rooms. May they endeavor to fill them as advantageously, as promptly, and as faithfully as we have. 2nd. Our Senior dignity. May they uphold it forever with all seriousness and gravity, endeavoring to realize its vast importance, in spite of their lightmindedness and irresponsibility. 3rd. Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our successors we must leave our places in the hearts and the thoughts of our principal and teachers. To the Sophomores we bequeath any stubs of pencils, erasers, or scraps of paper that we may have unintentionally left behind us in the excitement and haste of gathering up our possessions for the last time. May they make use of them, and feel, perhaps, that these left overs” may in some mysterious way, impart some of our great knowledge to them. To the Freshmen we give and bequeath any overlooked wads of gum we may have left adhering to the undersides of desks, banisters, or assembly seats. The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope that they may be accepted, as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and as a continual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowal:— 1 st. To some belated Freshman,—anybody who will accept it as it is yet unclaimed.— Roger Low’s speed. 2nd. To anybody who needs it, Harry Billings’ ability to bluff. Apply early and avoid the rush. 3rd. To Maurice Rockwell, Margaret Miller’s sincere affection. 4th. To James Durrett. Calvin Finn leaves his quarrel with Franklin Camp. 5th. To Franklin Camp we leave the schoolgirl complexion of Ida Harris. 6th. To Edward Banks and Phil Wallace, Thelma Brown leaves her ability to play the piano. Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast.” All the residue of our property we give and bequeath to our beloved superintendent, Mr. Kearns, to be disposed of for the good of the coming classes as he may see fit. And we do hereby appoint the said superintendent sole executor of this, our last will and testament. In witness hereof, we, the class of 1929, the testators, have to this our will, set our hands and seal this thirty-first day of May, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine.
