Class History We. the class of 18. entered the Florence High School in the fall of 1914 with an enrollment of about fifty members. After two years of trials and tribulations, from which we emerged triumphant, we entered high school in our Junio. year, with more spirit than our class had ever known. In our Junior year we regretted very much the leaving of two of our most popular class mates. Ralph and Roy Roath. These boys joined Uncle Sam’s forces and we have everj right to be just as proud of them as we are. This year also we showed our ability to entertain when we acted as hosts to the Senior class at the annual Junior-Senior Prom. The present year has marked the height of our school career. We have’ upheld our record this year by buying a Liberty Rond, having everyone in the class a member of the Athletic Association, and dispersing Knowledge and Rearing to our less fortunate schoolmates. With this record of efficiency and success in all lines, we trust that when we pass into the great battle of life we will rapidly rise to places of honor and importance —INA HAWKINS.

Class Prophecy My Day Dream After I had taught school for about ten years I began to think it was time for me to do that which I had longed to do all my life. That was a tour of the globe. So 1 planned the necessary things and prepared for the long journey which would make use of my hard earned knowledge of history, sociology, language and science. As I was well pleased with Florence and its environment, that was my home from whence I started. My first visit was at my childhood home. 1 was on the streets of Oklahoma City when 1 saw a form which was somewhat familiar. The person had an air of importance which made me take second notice, when I recognized the ambitious hoy who had been the president of the class the four years. John McClelland He did not recognize me but I didn’t let him pass without a few words. I learned that he was a prosperous young mechanic and was connected with a large motor factory in that state. lie said that his high school athletics had taught him many things which were of value to him in after years. '1 he class had looked to him for a share of the honors which the class took from the others. In my tour of the South I learned that another of my class mates was a short distance from me. Of course 1 did not hesitate to find her. A friend of hers in that city said that 1 would probably find her on the tennis court it she wrs. not attending t home duties. Hut t first went to her home, which was a beautiful one located in one of these beautiful southern cities. We had a good long chat about our high school days, discussing the merits : nd demerits of the teach ers and the whereabouts of the different school friends. As 1 had only taken a small part of my journey, I was compelled to resume it before the former Bessie Wild and I had talked to our hearts content. My next stop was at the capital city of our country. ! expected to find some of my old classmates here, so proceeded to look them up. The first name I recognized uas Nora Hau in a certain government building. 1 took a car to the place and when I gave the fare I could not help recognizing the tall form of the former Florence boy who had completed his high school work in three years. “Mr. Campbell,” I said “Beg pardon,” said he surprisedly. but that countenance changed to one of recognition. He was of course on the job but a few remarks could not help passing between us—mostly about the senior year, students and teachers. 1 found my way to the building and found Nora in a government lab” busy with a chemistry experiment which would greatly effect the welfare of future generations, i used the Golden Rule and did not interrupt her until the working hours were over. But i met her at the door and those keen eyes of hers recognized her old classmate immediately. What all we talked about 1 will not attempt to repeat here. My visit at the capital was a pleasant one, but 1 continued my trip, my next stopping place being the metropolis of the nation. As soon as possible � attended grand opera. I was pleas-rntly surprised when 1 heard a sweet low alto voice sing a sweet song. 1 did not need to take a second look at the beautiful singer whom « recognized s one of my class friends. Alt ho known in public by a different name she was to me the same sweet Alice Lee. Later I attended a show, the feature being a talented : rtist, humorist and musician. After seeing several of my old class friends, my old curiosity arose, wondering if 1 should see a few more of them, as 1 remembered one of oui members was of (hat nature. The famous entertainer appeared on the stage and of course it was that old class member who used to entertain us to many jokes and laughs in school. Bruce also had developed his talent for singing and was accompanied on the ukelele by Marion Wilson, who found her talent in her senior year at Florence. She also sang in several different languages. 1 remembered her fluent pronunciation of that language which we studied together in old F. H. S. Our visit afterward was a pleasant one. My ocean trip was very pleasant for the most part. I saw one poor fellow who could not agree with the ride. 1 really felt sorry for him and when he got thru being company with the rail and walked around J recognized the Sociologist who was going to tour Europe for further research. Frank Blunt had been another athletic senior by whom many honors were won in track and field. He was just as interested in his social work. 1 landed safely at Liverpool and proceeded to look for my old Senior chum Edna Craig. I was touring England and admiring the large and beautiful estates which had passed thru many generations of aristocracy. Sociologists say that American girls do not live happily in English homes. Well, my little Lady Edna was an exception. She delighted me very much by showing me thru a typical English mansion and the beautiful gardens. I next went to France. My first place to go there was one of the famous Paris cafe’s. Rupert Hunt tried to spring some French on me. As • had studied it and was able to take it, he introduced some fancy French dishes, most of which I relish very much. The waiter knew the names of them but I thot it net necessaiy to learn them, so did the same thing • did to many chemistry formulas- let them go by. Of course my tour was not complete without seeing sunny Italy, the home of interesting ancients. This is a land tV’here in this particular summer many brides and grooms were enjoying their honeymoon. I brushed up my mind and unraveled my knowledge of ancient history which made m? appreciate the beautiful land more than ever. I was enjoying an evening sightseeing in Rome when the sound of a familiar voice came to me. 1 recognized it immediately, for why shouldn’t I. I had heard it enough in school every day. She was among a happy crowd who were enjoying that particular summer in Italy. The former Ina Hawkins was somewhat surprised to see me there too. but I explained that I w'as there only on a tour to spend my vacation. Before returning to my own land again to tour it, I went to South America—that country, strange and comparatively unknown. ! had seen all the members of the class of ‘18 except one and I was determined to see them all. I saw tint person, who was a wealthy cattleman who in days gone by had been Harold Lucas, the cowboy. 1 w'as compelled to make account of my visits with the class of '18. I was enjoying giving my account very much when bang a stray piece of chalk disturbed my day dream and 1 came back to earth ami began studying my Herman lesson very indu triously. it being the second period in the afternoon, disappointed that it was only a dream still live in hopes that my tellin ; it will give some dear classmate an inspiration.

When we were Sophomores we became so incensed witn the lives of our heroes and heroines that we decided in a very important class meeting to begin our vacation early and take a trip to Greece. On Easter Morning. 1918, wre arose bright and early and started on our trip of adventure. Our seventeen airplanes, each carrying two. left Florence about seven in the morning. We reached Mt. Olympus in the early twilight of the fourth day. Zeus wras standing at the gate of his palace to welcome us. In the fading evening he showed us thru his beautiful home. At a late hour wre were served with a delightful dinner. At dinner Zeus told us that he would have his brother Pluto show us his Under-world home the next day. We started early the next morning. When we came to the rived Styx we gave our coins, that Juno had given us. to Chaton, w'ho rowed us across the river. The only trouble we had getting into the Under-world wras getting past the three-headed dog Cerberus. But we found a remedy. The girls massaged their faces with the beauty ointment that Venus had given them, and the boys sucked the wisdom sticks that Minerva had given them; and as a result we facinated Cerberus so that we were allowed to pass. After we had proceeded a short distance we came to a large room brilliantly lighted with electric lights. There we found Proserpina, the w ife of Pluto. After we assured her we had not come to stay, she greeted us cordially. From the beautiful room we came to a small dark, musty room lighted by a single candle. In one corner around a small table sat three old women knitting. They didn’t pay any attention at all to us. “Those are the three Fates, who knit the lives of men.” Pluto told us. Then we came to a beautiful garden where we heard the most beautiful music that w'e had ever heard. Soon from the shelter of the trees came a handsome youth and a lovely maiden. The youth played upon a lyre. Pluto told us that it wras Orpheus and Eurydice. Farther down the stream we saw the winged Cupid and the most beautiful Psyche. We came to a small hill and as we ascended we rested a few minutes under the laurel tree into w'hich Daphne had changed herself to escape Apollo. We saw Hero and Leander sitting lovingly on a large rock on the side of the hill. In a dark cave we saw the revengeful Media pacing up and down and tearing her hair. On top of the hill wfe saw Bellerophone and his beautiful winged horse. Pegasus. We descended the other side of the hill, seeing here and there some one we had read about. Toward the close of the day we returned through the dark cave to Zeus’ home. Next morning after we had thanked Zeus and Pluto in every way we could we started on our return trip. We arrived in dear old Florence in time to enjoy the picnic and to see the Seniors graduate.

After we “learned the ropes we began to look around. The result of our survey was: The faculty is ideal. Couldn't ask for better. Seniors are rather few and far between. They certainly are wise? In fact they are too wise for F. H. S., but they don’t know it. Juniors think they are too wise for F. H. S.. but they have a lot to learn yet. As for the Sophomores—well I would not like to express our opinion of them. The Freshman-Sophomore scrap came out about even. The Sophomore boys were about as wet as our boys. And the Sophomore girls were a good deal greener than our girls. As is always the custom, the two higher classes entertained the two lower classes. This year it was a weiner roast out at Castle Rock. By this time the two lower classes had become reconciled and we entertained the higher classes at a party. A very delightful surprise of the evening was a mock wedding by the faculty. During the second subscription to the Liberty Loan the Freshmen class proved itself to be very patriotic by buying a Liberty Bond. In March our famous president and his brother left us. In that hour of grief we elected Jesse Hadley president, under whose leadership we now stand. J. D. B. Camp-Fire Girls Organization The Camp Fire organization is a live wire in our school, even though we have not made many public appearances. Our ceremonial meetings with candle ritual and roll call of Indian names are especially fascinating. Some day we will give a public demonstration. We are a helpful organization as our watch-word. “W0-HE-LO,” suggests—work, health and love. As for work, wre have helped the Red Cross organization. We have khaki suits and hats which are always on display when w’e hike and have our good times. On our picnics w’e build fires, cook hamburger, take pictures (see miscellaneous), and tramp, tramp, tramp. As for the last part of our watch-word—why w’e always love (each other). Miss Holm and Miss Miller are our guardians and have participated in all our joys and pleasures. I want to tell you about one of our best trips. One morning we arose bright and early and set out exploring and seek ing for adventure that we might better enjoy our anticipated breakfast. We went down across the river and finally founu a pretty spot to make our fire. Each girl had a task to perform and together w’e prepared a very tempting breakfast. After breakfast we sat around the fire, sang songs and planned our work and trips for the year. Then we continued our tramp, stopping at Oil Well No. 42 to have a gond swing. We took many pictures and came home tired but happy. It would take up too much space to tell of all the good times, and experiences w’e have had. but we hope this may show the success of the girls’ Camp Fire organization.

H. S. has had a patrol of Boy Scouts. Two patrols were organized but one was discontinued soon after starting. The Ahmeeks have fitted up a comfortable club room and have some very enthusiastic meetings. They are always ready to help in some patriotic or other affair when called upon. On New Years Eve the patrol held a beefsteak fry on Castle Rock and on April 13, Saturday, they went to the summit of Oak Creek Grade and stayed overnight and the next day, experiencing all kinds of weather from sunshine to snow and hail. The Ahmeeks are planning on many trips this summer, including a two-weeks’ camping trip when all will attempt to qualify as first class scouts. Billy W.— How would you like to have a pet monkey? Annabelle C.— Oh! this is so sudden.” The Debating Team For the first time in the school’s history a debating team was organized. The one and only debate was held with Cripple Creek in Cripple Creek and our team was defeated thru lack of preparation. A big success was not to be expected at our first attempt, and the defeat this year only gave the school a stronger resolve to go back next year and carry away all honors. It is the hope of all interested in debate, that a debating society will be formed next year with a regular teacher. The debating team for the year was: Joe Ilamblet. Jr., Delbert Jack. Bruce Patterson and Leonard Roberts. Joe Hamblet, Jr. Declamation Contest The Second Annual Declamation Contest will occur Friday, April 12, 1918 in the Canon City Methodist, church. Our Preliminaries were held Thursday Kvening. April 4. 1918, in the Presbyterian church. The following program was rendered: Reading—“The Swan Song.” Miss Effie Wagoner. Solo. Miss Ruth Allen. Reading—“Haggle's Dinner Party. Miss Elsie Sweet. Reading—“The Littlest Rebel.” Miss Bertha Campbell. Solo. Miss Amy Deibert. Reading—“Cigarette’s Ride and Death.” Miss Belle McCormick. Reading—“The Reading Class,” Miss Annie Evans. The girls under Miss Osborne’s training all deserve a great deal of credit for their hard work. One from each division was chosen at the preliminaries to represent the school in the triangular contest in Canon City between North and South Canon. Winners in The following stories won in the contest held during the year and deserve special mention. THE LUCKY NINTH As Scooky Smith was coming home from work, a notice which was posted in the hall attracted his attention. All players of the Rockvale Baseball Team will report at the basement at six o'clock Saturday. Scooky reported promptly at the basement on Saturday. Captain Lobb told him that he was going to play as substitute in the game with Coal Creek the following Sunday. On Sunday morning most of the Coal Creek fans were over, betting two to one on their home team. In the afternoon the crowd assembled at the Baseball Park. A great amount of betting was going on there, too. At two-thirty the game started, and the first four innings were interesting ones. During the seventh and eighth innings Coal Creek succeeded in getting eight runs, while Rockvale got five. During the game Scooky sat on the bench and watched it roll on. With him sat Easton, the manager, and Tom Payne, the coach. Tom was watching the fielding of each player. Scooky sat on the bench for nine innings, with dust all over his face. The score stood eight to five in Coal Creek’s favor. The first half of the ninth inning was nearly over. Suddenly the Rockvale Boosters started yelling. Bricky, Coal Creek’s best slugger, had hit a long fly to the outfield, which was caught by Crosby. Crosby knowing of Scooky’s wanting to be in the game decided to get him in. We feel that we have the material this year in the two girls who are chosen. Bertha Campbell and Annie Evans and Harold John in Oratory, to bring at least one cup home and retain the cup which was won for us last year by Martha Vandeveer in her humorous selection. “Mandy’s Organ.” Story Contest The Rockvale nine trotted in for its last turn at bat. Crossby sat beside Scooky with his wrist sprained. lie said lit had sprained it when he caught Bricky’s fly. The coach bandaged the supposedly damaged wrist. Scooky was watching the bandaging of Crossby’s wrist when Coach Payne said that he was going to bat in Crossby’s place. Cobb, the first batter, was fanned out. Rocky surprised everybody by making a bunt, and by a hard run succeeded in getting to first before the ball. Price got up and knocked a fly to the catcher. Goodhead got up and made a hit. Daby, the next batter, was hit in the ribs and went to first. The bases were full. Scooky stepped to the plate and rubbed his hands in the dirt. The pitcher swung his arm and shot the ball past the plate. “Strike!” shouted the umpire. The next two were balls. The fourth ball went straight over the plate and the umpire called it a strike.” It was two and two. Scocky's heart sank. He waited, and then from the pitcher’s hand the ball shot for the plate. Scooky took a step forward and swung his bat. The ball met the bat. Up against the sky it went and fell outside the fence. In the meantime the bases were being emptied. Tom Payne, in spite of his age, took a sommer-vault. The final score stood nine to eight in favor of Rock vale. Scooky had won the game. But Crossby was the only one that knew how Scooky got into the game. The Coal Creek Boosters were disgusted because they lost their money. They placed the blame on the umpire and said that he had cheated. That night Easton took all the players to the swimming pool, where they enjoyed a good time. -DAN RATKOVICH. Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars I ate one Sunday afternoon Jack Benton, attired in a riding costume, sat in the parlor of the cozy little cedar log bungalow that John Drummond called home. Drummond was a wealthy placer miner who was the owner of the Keystone Placer mines, ten miles down the Black Pit canyon. Benton was downhearted; his every action showed it. Drummond sat cross-legged on the arm of a chair puffing contentedly at a good cigar. ‘‘No, 1 tell you what Jack, I don’t believe you should have her,” he said. “You’re a mighty fine boy, all right, but what good does it do you? Here you’ve gone thru Yale and aren’t fit to hold a dollar-a-day job. For myself. I never finished the eighth grade, yet I can show two hundred thousand dollar bank account.” There was silence for a moment; Jack tapped his shoe with his whip “Then you mean that I am not capable of supporting Elaine, that 1 should have a fortune?” Exactly.” About how much?” “Well. I should say twenty-five thousand, within a year.” All right. I’ll do it just to show you.” Jack and Elaine had ridden down the canyon to Long Tom Cavern, a huge cave that went nearly from the cany n to the desert-like plain on the other side of the canyon. The cave was situated a few feet above the Blanco river that roared down the canyon until it was swallowed up in the huge iron pipe-line that furnished the pressure to wash the gold and gravel down at the placer mine. Deep down in Long Tom. Jack had asked Elaine the eternal question and she had said ‘‘Yes. Apparently her father had ended it all by his impossible request. How could any man with a bank account of an even twelve hundred and thirty-seven dollars, swell it into twenty-live thousand in one short year? Early next morning Jack went down into the cave to think it over. For two hours he sat there in the mouth of the cave; if only he could get water on the desert, beyond the ridge. Slowly a plan dawned upon him; the cave was only a few feet above the river. As it went back it went down: he would only have to dig a short distance from the other end of the cave to the other side of the ridge, let the river in and he would have enough water for ten thousand acres. ‘ Ten thousand acres! he exclaimed, at flrty dollars each! That would be five hundred thousand dollars. He could buy the land for a hundred thousand easy. Twenty-five thousand would pay all expenses, so he would be three hundred and seventy-five thousand to the good. lie whistled. But there is always some gloom hanging around, ready to kill any poor unprotected joy that happens to get loose. It was present now. The water belonged to John Drummond. His air castles went tumbling and the noise of the falling pieces hurt his ears. t was a very dejected Jack Benton who told his troubles to Klaine that afternoon, but the gloom was destined to a quick downfall, for a very, very happy thought struck her. Her father did net own the water in Blanco river and never did He had been there so long that he had entirely forgotten to take out a right on it. Jack again looked over his bank account; It was now seven dollars less. It would take nine or ten months to dig thru the ridge, so he had no time to lose. Every morning found him digging deep down in the cave, each night found him a little nearer to the desert. It took him longer than he had expected to get thru—exactly ten months and twelve days. Me looked again at his bank account. Only two hundred dollars left! Hut it had not all gone for nothing. He had closed a deal with the Homestead Land and Water company for the water necessary to irrigate ten thousand acres. As soon as the first water came thru the cave, he was to receive his check, three hundred and fifteen thousand dollars with a lease on five hundred acres. Another Sunday evening, at the Drummond home. “Well Jack, where’s your twenty-five thousand?” “I’ve got over a month yet.” And how do you stand?” Two hundred dollars. Drummond chuckled, “I’m afraid you can’t do it.” Two hundred dollars; that would form a big surprise for a certain mining man. It would pay fifty Mexicans for one day, who could put a dam across the Blanco river and turn the water into the cave. • • • • One beautiful morning a workman going to the mines stopped still in his tracks; the river had gone, and only little pools here and there remained: not a drop was going into the hydraulic pipes. He rushed to the mine, siezed the phone and called for Drummond. “Say. the river’s dry. yes dry. not a drop. You had better come dowrn and see for yourself.” In ten minutes the dam was found. Watching the water disappear into the mountain, sat Jack, bank book in hand. Drummond raved, You idiot, what are you trying to do? Jack looked up very placidly. “Oh just getting a few thousand.” You can’t do it, I’ll have the law on you. Why you’ve clear stopped my mines. .Jack only grinned. “Sorry, but the water’s worth more to me, besides you didn’t have any right to it and 1 have. It’s filed at the court house. You’ve made your pile. I’m making mine now.” • • • • • Another Sunday afternoon. Jack spoke first this time. When do you think would be a good time for the wedding to take place?” “Say, do you know you’ve killed my only business?” “Well. I can’t help that, it wasn’t in the contract, and —er would you like to see my bank account now? It’s a little over twenty-five thousand, I believe, besides I don’t believe you are so poor as you act. If you are. Elaine and I will take care of you.” Suddenly Drummond laughed; it was a good hearty laugh. It’s all my fault, so I’ll have to suffer. I put the money-grabbing idea into your head. Run along now, your wife’s waiting.” RICHARD JONES. When ■ ■ When the last word is written, When the last lesson’s done, When the last class has ended.

Keith Cutting Roy Barron llerschel Ferguson Kugene Reynolds Harold Lucas Frank Blunt Leonard Roberts Foot Ball Season Review of Season of 1918 A new spirit of determination and confidence, such as had not existed in the Florence High School for years, was evident when the 1918 season opened, and this feeling continued as the season progressed. Our success was not due to the fact that we had a coach, because in this we were sadly lacking. It was due to the fact that the fellows alone were determined to win against all odds and all comers. That the team did not win all games made no difference; the conviction that we could win was there, and that is the spirit that counts. When the call for practice was issued, three veterans and a squad of excellent new material reported for work. They were light, but determined to make the record of F. H. S. career remain at its zenith. Under the supervision of Mr G. E. Hook and Capt. John McClelland, the men worked into good shape. Our first game of the season w'as with Cripple Creek, Colo. It was nothing short of disaster, due to a misunderstanding as to wrhom should play and whom shouldn’t play; two of our best players were eliminated. Capt. McClelland and Delbert Jack were injured, so as to be out of the game for a part of it. They carried off the long end of the score. This defeat made the men all the more determined to win from then on, especially against Cripple Creek in the return game here. The results of the Victor game was the results of much hard practice. Victor was clearly out-classed from start to finish. Our defensive weakened somewhat toward the last and they slipped over two touch downs. We convinced thi spectators as well as the townspeople we could win. With increased confidence because of Victor's defeat, and the enthusiastic support of the student body and town people, the Hlue and Gold was more than determined to square accounts with Cripple Creek for our defeat of Oct. 6. 1917. The game opened with a rush and closed the same wray. It was clearly a case of the best team winning. No open field w'ork was relied on, just plain superiority of back field wrork and smashing powrer, and ability of line to make the way. Every one of our men came out of this game in fine shape— no unnecessary injuries. The season was now nearing a close and there remained but one game to be played. This was the ever looked for ‘Turkey Day” game. It w-as hard fought from start to finish. When the whistle blew the score stood 12-12. The main features of 1917 football season were the manly sportsmanship with which our fellows played, whether winning or losing; also the financial condition of the season School Activities 1 have eaten your bread and salt.
