The class officers will be responsible for an accurate account of all points the members of the class make, and they will be aided by the faculty and officers of the Boosters’ Club. Following is the program as it has been outlined, giving the number of points made and, in some cases lost, by the class and by individuals. It would be well if each class would have a bulletin board of its own. In this way the classes could do more advertising and the contest could be carried on in a more business-like way. After reading the outline over, all will, no doubt, understand the plan. All points made by the class during the year will be added to the sum total of points which the class has and in this way the class which has the largest number of points will win. Remember the $5 prize and turn in the names which you think are appropriate. Points. I. Class Rush.......................... 100 II. Scholarship— 1. Each A Grade---------------------- 10 2.

The club has often secured speakers who have addressed the school on popular themes that are closely related to school life and activities. We believe these popular addresses have in some instances made a lasting impression and have been well worth while. What we are much concerned about now is what this organization shall bring to pass during the next school year. A good beginning has been made and those who are in charge of the club next year will be responsible for the success of the movement. A program has been outlined, the purpose of which is to awaken a friendly spirit of rivalry in scholarship and athletics. It is up to the students to get back of this movement in an enthusiastic way and so raise still higher the standard of our school in all its different lines. This program, which consists of a contest carried on the entire year by the four different classes of the High School, is published elsewhere in this issue. Every one should read it over, so as to understand it from the first. This has been approved of by those in charge of the school, so will be put into effect as soon as school begins next fall. The class which succeeds in earning the largest number of points by the end of the school year will be declared the winner and'Vill receive some appropriate prize, such as a bronze plate or shield. Then different individuals, in whatever class they are, who earn the highest number of points will also receive some trophy. In this way the individual standard will be raised, as well as the class standard. The best time for these prizes to be given out would be Commencement day. These points are divided in such a way that the class or individual which wins must do so by good work in all lines. In this way one cannot win by physical or mental prowess alone. A grand total of 100 points will start the contest in the fall. This will be given to the class which wins in a contest, such as a tug of war or a bag rush. So be on hand next fall to help your class win the 100 points. The Boosters Club has commanded the respect and enlisted the interest of the school in that it has earned and wisely expended $2,851.11 during the past year. If the club would continue to hold the respect of all and win increased favor during the coming year, it must not only raise a considerable amount of money, but it must use this money wisely and effectively. It is a source of gratification that the story of the club’s activities has gone to other schools of the state and has won the approval of wide-awake faculties and students and has awakened a desire for a like organization. Grand Junction High School may be proud that it has taken the initiative in so popular and practical a movement. Our successes this year present a strong appeal for yet greater activities in the years to come. Those of us who are leaving regret the parting from our capable faculty and body of students, and we would commit to you this wonderful opportunity and great responsibility in your next year’s school work. Five-Dollar Reward H REWARD of five dollars has been offered by the Boosters’ Club for the best name which is submitted and chosen for the following school spirit program. This is open to all students, and all names submitted must be in soon after school starts next fall. The following program has been worked out to increase the standard of the school, the class and individual in scholarship and literary abilities, as well as athletics. Especially does it develop the individual, for the class is depending upon each student to do his best, and only in this way will a class win. The contest will begin in the fall with the Class Rush, and from then on students will be kept posted on the standing of the classes by a bulletin board or chart which the Boosters’ Club will have in charge. The club will supervise the contest and HI RNETTE DII.I.OX Bert” Pomp and Circumstance. WALTER FORRY “Snapperback Football (3) (4) Operetta (3) Minstrel Show (3) Sgt. at Arms (4) Treas.

The Emerald Class of '24 XN September, 1920, the Emerald Class of 24 started its lively career. We really imagined that we were pretty well up on the various phases of high school life and were extremely conscious of our superiority over our fellow students. Alas! he murmured a precious truth who said “Ignorance is bliss.” The Freshman today is a typical example of the ruin that can be made by tireless A-expecting teachers. We sit in Algebra, Latin. English and History classes daily, and daily the thot of our wrongs weighs more heavily on our shoulders. Some of us develop long, careworn faces and a sorrowful countenance. We glower in envy at our more intelligent students who have a multitude of As. Still, when the morose Sophomore confides to us his troubles, when the tearful Junior prepares us for the worst and when the wise but nevertheless despondent Senior sobs into our ear his tale of woe, we brace up and think maybe it’s not so bad after all. We have, however, made an extensive display of our knowledge when we chose the most worthy Eugene Mast for our Freshman president. He has also distinguished himself as an orator. Now, dear reader, to show you the extent of our importance and the impression we have made on the High School, I will say that in the last two months the Seniors have actually spoken to one or two members of our class when they met them on the public sidewalk! Does this not prove the esteem in which we are held? We have had a splendid corps of teachers, and to them wo will lay without reservations the entire praise and honor which our mental superiority has excited, and we wish anyone who realizes the importance of the Freshman Class to give them the credit! Now we have reached the end of our year. We are sad, but still the experience has given each member of our class memories which will brighten his entire life. and. when we are all grandfathers and grandmothers, with smooth crowns or silver plumes, we can call our grandchildren hither and relate to them the marvelous intelligence and the extraordinary achievements made by the Class of 24. —Dalton Trumbo, ’24. Sophomore Class History XN the month of September, in the year of Our Ix rd nineteen hundred and twenty, over a hundred small students signed our names to the enrollment list of the Class of ’23 and with Freshman inquisitiveness began to pry into the many volumes of wisdom contained in the Grand Junction High School. A few days sufficing to satisfy our curiosity, we proceeded to store in the limited capacity of our brain cells as much book lore as their small dimensions would allow. Aided by our very competent teachers, we progressed rapidly and, although our president, Milo Wormell, left us before his term of office was completed, and a miscalculation on the weather proved quite disastrous to our Freshman picnic, the first year was completed without further mishaps. We returned the following year only to find that each and every one of our Ninth Grade teachers had escaped to parts unknown. Whether they were frightened away by the dazzling brilliancy of our intellectual achievements or for some other reason remains to be learned. However, we entered our new classes unpreceded by any slanderous hints from teachers’ tongues to detract from our dignity as Sophomores. With this exceptionally bright beginning and with the lively leadership of our president, Eugene WAYNE J.
