ALL HIGH SCHOOL WEEK For the first time in the history of Rock Springs High School a Whole week was set aside in which every student was given ample time and encouragement to think of his school and its ideals seriously and to become impressed by their real value and significance. Each new day brought a new slogan which was used through the Whole day as the salutation between Rock Springs High School occupants. Some of the slogans were: Knowledge is Power, Win by Fair Play, Your School and Mine, and We Need a New High School. Everyone entered whole-heartedly into the spirit of this week and each did his very best to make it a success. On Friday of All High School Week an Assembly program was presented Which portrayed the ideals of our creed in clever acts and stuntseln this manner our high ideals were even more deeply impressed upon us than had they ever been. Souvenirs of each day will help students to remember this all important week. The Class of 230 Wishes all future classes over-flowiug success in their All High School Weeks. CHEMICAL ESSAYS Among the various activities at the school, essay writing plays an impor- tant as well as an interesting part. Each year these manuscripts gain prizes and fame for Rock Springs High School. Of all the essays written in school probably the chemical essays under the auspices of the American Chemical Society are the most outstanding. Any high school student is eligible for entrance in this contest. The par- ticipant has his choice of six subjects which deal with Chemistry in relation to: Health and Disease, Home, Agriculture or Forestry, the Development of an Industry or a. Resource of the United States, and the Enrichment of Life. The essays are sent to Cheyenne to the Commissioner of Education who superintends the judging. The winners of first places in the six above named fields each receive twenty dollars in gold. The winners of second places receive a certificate of award and a. set of books on Science. The essays Winning first in the various states are then sent to the Ameri- can Chemical Society, where the six national winners are chosen. These six winners receive a reward of a four years course in practically any accepted college in the United States. Tuition is paid and the Winners are given five hundred dollars annually. Rock Springs has been very fortunate in these contests and as a. result great interest has been stimulated toward writing them. This year Rock Springs High received three first prizes and one second. Those receiving first were: Marie McLaughlin, The Relation of Chemistry to Agriculture ; Vivian Moon; ttThe Re- lation of Chemistry to the Development of the Coal Industry in the United States ; John Willson, uThe Relation of Chemistry to National Defense. Elijah Daniels received second on the topic, The Relation of Chemistry to the Homef It will be remembered that only last year Morgan Walters received a national prize on the subject The Relation of Chemistry to the Home. Marie McLaughlin and John Willson received first prizes in the state last year also. Miss McCall deserves unbounded credit for her endless labor spent in helping students to produce sensible essays. Through Miss McCallis endless efforts Rock Springs ranks among the highest in the state of Wyoming in Scientific lines. GORGAS ESSAY For the last two years the Gorgas Memorial Institute has sponsored an es- say writing contest. Each year the subject though somewhat changed, deals directly with the life and work of William Crawford Gorgas and of the Gorgas Memorial Institute. Marie McLaughlin has won the high school prize and the state prize for the two years in Which Rock Springs High School has taken part in the contest. 29
