President Richard Albright Vice President James I a timer.. Secretary-Treasurer Henry Weber..............Advisor CWO years ago several boys of the G. J. H. S. attended a boys’ conference at Delta. From this conference w as born the idea of the Junior Rotary Club. F rom a group of eight or ten boys it now has a membership of thirty. The purpose of the club, as expressed in the preamble of the constiution, is to serve our high school in a worthy manner and by worthy means, to aid in keeping our athletics clean, our school life worth while, to f06ter high ideals, preserve worthy traditions and co-operate in every progress and betterment of our high school. The true Junior Rotarian is defined as one who responds willingly when assigned a task, no matter how difficult it may be. He neither shirks nor evades his duty, but does it to the I'est of his ability. The motto of the club is: “He profits most who serves best.” The membership is composed of the various class and student officers, the captains of the respective teams and other representatives from the four upper classes of the high school. The meetings are held each Tuesday noon at a luncheon in the Y. M. C. A. banquet room. In two years’ time the club has accomplished much and plans to accomplish much more in future years. l ast year a point system, designed to promote friendly class rivalry and thereby create school spirit, was worked out and submitted to the Roosters Club, and was subsequently adopted and named “Pepometer.” Among the more notable achievement of this year were the purchase of a dozen large athletic blankets, the presentation of ribbons to winners in the Western Slope Rhetorical, Track and Field meet, and the purchase of sweaters for the Tigresses, Western Slope basketball champions. For the purchase of the blankets and sweaters, two plays—“A Pair of Sixes” and The Girl From Out Yonder”—were given. The ribbons were presented to the individual winners of first, second and third at the Western Slope Rhetorical, Track and Field meet, where only medals for first place are given by the association. The club has made application to the Rotary International for permission to use the name, “Junior Rotary,” so that a copyright may be secured on the name, constitution and emblem, and allow the incorporation of the club as a national organization. This is being done in anticipation of the growth of the club and its institution in other schools, several of whom have expressed a desire to organize Junior Rotary clubs. THE JUNIOR ROTARIANS.

They sit with open book, and now and then, tor appearance’s sake, turn a leaf and go on dreaming. But, behold! there sits a person whose youthful brow bears lines of deepest worry. His feverish eyes scans page after page, or his hoarse whisper implores his neighbor’s quick and timely aid—verily he is the one who prepares for an exam. Over there sit two girls who seem to verify the description of their sex, “How them wimin folks do gab; their tongues is fastened in the middle and they wags at both ends.” Unfortunately to this twain, they are sep rted and one or another is sent into a vast extent of vacant seats to do penance; from which lonely region she gazes longingly at the familiar seat with its loquacious memories, until she becomes sleepy and bored by the very stillness of her retreat. Here and there sit individuals whose attitudes bespeak purposeful concentration. Consider them: their ranks are thinning, their numbers decreasing—they, the ones who study. A study period has its romances, too. There sit two lovelorn individuals, w'hose glances only too plainly bespeak their blissful condition. There sit tw’o unhappy creatures who have “fell out.” There sit two more people who stealthily endeavor to correspond beneath the-firm and purposeful gaze of the teacher. Did you ever notice how many people drop things,, walk around, laugh, sneeze, borrow everything from a pencil to a pin, or blow their respective noses? When the end of the study period comes, every one flings himself from his seat to plunge away, even before the hand of the teacher can reach the bell. r

Rhetorical Club J vHIS club was organized January 20 of this year for the two-fold purpose of stimulating more interest and competition in rhetoricals and to send a winning team to the annual Western Slope Rhetorical contest. In both aims the club was highly successful, as is testified by the three-year championship rhetorical cup now in our possession, the number of contestants in the preliminaries and the great interest taken, especially by the business men, several of whom established annual medals for the various events and one who gave a handsome loving cup to the championship rhetorical team. The officers for this year were Reginald Smith, president, Selma McQueen, secretary, and Miss Edra Walter, coach. The entrants in the events and the subjects covered this year at the preliminaries were: LEARNED ORATION. Eugene Mast—“Spartacus to the Gladiators.” Martin Heidgen—“Spartacus to the Romans.” John Morrison—“Flag Day Oration,” by Franklin K. Lane. Reginald Smith—“The Plea for Cuba.” by Senator John M.

Harvey Tup per.......President Fred Hinton Vice President Vivian Crawford Secretary W. G .Hirons Treasurer ORGANIZED May 5, 1919, to promote school spirit and provide a means whereby students may take part in the control of student activities, the Boosters Club has rapidly become the biggest factor in the life and control of student activities in Grand Junction High School and has more than justified the three active years of its existence. The organization easily demonstrated its value in the first year of service under John Cottrell, president, Beth Derrybeirry, secretary, and W. G. Hirons. treasurer. Athletic finances, formerly rather uncertain, became more stable. The annual Piggleteria was instituted as a means of furnishing extra funds to aid in Boosters Club work and was an immediate success. For the second year. E. Wallace Mast was installed aa president, with Alex Campbell as vice president, Elsie Lankford, secretary, and W. G. Hirons, treasurer. This year. 1920. witnessed a gradual enlargement of the field of the club’s activities and an increase in financial returns and expenditures, over $2,000 being earned and wisely expended, with a small surplus left over in the treasury. The Pepometer or point contest, for the stimulation of school spirit, introduced and adopted, was the outstanding feature of the year’s activities. The scone of the club’s activities is constantly growing larger and includes every phase of student activities in the high school. Tts chief value is in the efficient handling of the student finances, which are each yeaT growing larger. The athletic teams are supplied with the best of equipment: visiting teams are royally entertained: banquets are given each G. .1. H. S. team at the close of the season: rhetoricals are encouraged; a $200 Balopticon (a combination slide and picture machine) was purchased and has Proved to be of inestimable value in the clarses where used; the Pepometer was carried out to a successful close; the Piggletteria was a bigger success than ever: the membership includes practically every student in hicdi school—these arc only a few of the many triumphs of the Boosters Club this third year of its activity. and which foretell the big future before it and G.
