( hiss Historv Senioi T In the year 1910 one hundred and one pupils received their eighth grade diplomas. In the fall on entering the Freshman class the roll was just one hundred and sixteen. This group was the class of “fourteen” which very shortly gave promise to become the leader in high school activities. This promise was richly fulfilled in that so many of our number were chosen to represent our interests on the athletic field and the public platform. During the Freshman year we were seated in four different rooms because of :he large enrollment. We had no organization as a class but each person held the nighest kind of class and school spirit. There were few actual failures our first year l-ut a great many from our ranks changed schools or sought employment. Oh! how glad we were to welcome the new Freshman class when we ourselves had been safely launched on the Sophomore side. This year was marked by a rapid rise in activity. More of our boys were chosen to occupy places vacated on the football team. One of our number succeeded in managing and directing two splendid benefits for the Athletic Association. One was a musical given in the Assembly ball at the Franklin building, at that time the high school. The next was a two-nights’ minstrel performance which netted a magnificent sum. Our class election occurred soon after our entering the New High School building which was January 1st, 1912. Russell Coles was elected president and Bessie Miller, secretary. The next event of importance was the annual Spartan-Athenian debate. This event was the biggest of the year, save perhaps the banquet and fight which followed. The debate was given before all four classes of the high school and the public was generally invited. Never befor-e were the two opposing sides so evenly matched. Each had speakers of equal ability and both were determined to win. On the sixteenth day of February the two opposing hosts assembled and war-fare started. After much brilliant oratory on the part of the six students, the judges finally retired and after much deliberation decided that the affirmative had won. In April the Spartans banqueted the Athenians, as was the usual custom. That memorable night will never be forgotten by members of the class of Fourteen. The largest class fight in the history of the school was waged about the Y. M. C. A. where the banquet was held. However those intending to come finally reached the festive board.—some at rather a late hour. This year, as the previou's one, there were exceptionally few failures but the same misfortune happened this year when many of our classmates moved from the city, thereby changing schools. The Junior year was about as successful as any. Our members became most prominent in all activities. The work was easy and pleasant. Our election was very satisfactory. Robert Rhone was president and Bessie Miller, secretary. This was the first year we had close associations with our superiors, the Seniors. We were mighty proud when they gave us a good representation at Margery Hall. They enjoyed themselves so well that in very short notice they returned the compliment by a very pleasant party. Spring athletics were entered into with more spirit than ever before. Chapman, Rhone and many other's showed their star work in a brilliant manner. Coles and Hopkins easily won the County Championship debate at Fruita. The following day the track team, representing the G. J. H. S. was composed mostly of Juniors. That evening Edward Wilson, another of our classmen, won the County Championship Oratorical Contest. At the close of the year a splendid banquet was given at the LaCourt hotel as a final compliment to our friends, the Seniors. 21
