If you Cowboys wish not your name in print, walk-walk carefully goth. so carefullyj along the straight path of conservatism, one slip, and all is lost. Bribery or threats but intensify the doom. The Rodeo must be served! Re- porters are everywhere, snooping, spying, never ceasing in their Search for gossip and news. This publication is directed by'Miss Lo- rena Hocking, and news is collected by cub reporters. These news-hounds are students, pupils interested in journalism. The staff is made up of those in the group who have shown exceptionally g o o d work. i The Rodeo is put out fsometimes the editor, tooj not only to bare to the world the school's heart-breakers, sinners, and lovers, but to disseminate to the student body information, news, and enjoyment. One of the big events of i the year is the annual party given by the Press Club, it brings together all alumni who have served on the staff and on the Annual Boards as well as all our former heroes of athletic wars. This dance is equivalent to a mid-year NVest re- union, so many of the old grads return to cell of unpunished pranks. The editors of the year were Bill Yockey and Louis Kelly, the staff were Ila Arrowsmith, Walter Bohm, Lucille Bunte, Gordon Butler, Bob Evans, Mabel Carlson, Libby Charney, Mildred Cherrington, Pauline Dorram, Shirley Gar- lett, James Gregory, Lucile Haller, Lorraine Hansen, Frances Hastaker, Virginia Horner, Lawrence Ireson, Harvey Kadish, Lewis Lambard, Lafe McClard, Garson Mandell, Lucille Mitchell, Margaret Moran, Tom Norris, Elizabeth Pazandak, Amelia Perry, Verna Preston, John Pudlik, Mabel Roller, Dale Sampson, Lloyd Sanchez, Blanchard Wagner, Harold Wells, Shimel, Erna Naida Wiley, u Jeanette JWright, Ruth Wfurtzbach. ug ll I AJVL0 l .Y Y ,,+...i

30 1936 WESTWARD HO 1 CONTESTS ACH school year there are many con- tests in which students may partici- pate. Some of these are intramural and others are inter-school activities sponsored by public-minded citizens. The first one of the 1935-1936 year was the Robert W. Speer Essay Contest. Any student under eighteen years of age could enter and write on the character and life of Robert W. Speer, one of Denver's progressive mayors. Dorothy Brose has been the winner of two twenty-dollar prizes. Her first one was for an essay on the impression she received from a display of all kinds of electrical conven- iences for the home. Her second prize was for the best Speer paper, at this rate she,s apt to pay income tax her senior year. In future years Dorothy may become a Willa Cather of a Dorothy Canfield. Who knows! Lucille Chase, a Pen Rambler, won the second prize in the Sons of Revolution Con- test of 1936. Last year Lucille tried for recognition in the literary field, she failed by such a narrow margin that her teachers advised her to read the works of some recog- nized stylists in literature. She read all sum- mer long, and reward came to her. Hats off to Lucille! She has the true West spirit. SHAFROTH CONTEST The Shafroth Contest was established in 1923 by acceptance of the following gift from the Honorable John F. Shafroth: Washington, D. C., January 3, 1921. The plan for public speaking contests among stu- dents of the high schools of Denver is entirely sat- isfactory. I shall purchase a Government Bond tomorrow and have it registered in the name of the Board of Education. Each year now, a girl and a boy from each of the live Denver high schools are chosen to compete. Sixty current topics are selected as follows: twenty from the field of local interests, twenty from the field of national interests, and twenty from the field of in- ternational interests. Two topics from each Held are written on a slip of paper: thus
