ness men and the dads for arranging the supper. Coach Hanson was call- ed upon also to talk and he also ex- pressed his appreciation for the din- ner in behalf of the boys. All together it was a most success- ful and thoroughly enjoyed dinner and it will long linger in the mem- ory of the members of the football team. It encouraged the boys and now they know that they have the town and its good people behind them. ibus one sundi diei. to for ridibus in Forde coupie. pibus staritibus, crankibus caro- rum, Jumpibus in et slamibus doorum.

FRESHIES PliAY EAST SIDE The green Freshies played the East Side School March 3 in the High School auditorium. Both games were very fast (?) and our girls defeated their oppo- nents with the score of 11-8. The boys, however, did not show their usual pep and came out at the small end of the score, 16-2. Eunice Evans played the promi- nent role of referee in the girls ' game. The boys had the good luck to obtain the well-known Amos San- chez as referee. We all feel sure that when the Freshies assume the title of Bright Seniors, A. H .S. will have the championship teams. Good work, Freshies! Keep up the class spirit and show the school you have the pep. PARENTS GIVE A BANQUET TO AES. JTHLETES On Wednesday evening, the fifth of March, Masonic Hall was the meeting place of a festive gathering of young people. On this memor- able night the parents entertained the athletes of the High School and the members of the Midget Messen- ger staff at a turkey banquet. The hall was tastefully decorated in the school color s, maroon and white. Posters representing the various school activities occupied promi- nent places on the wall. The table for the guests was in the form of a large A in the center of the room, while the parents and friends occu- pied side tables. Maroon and white pennants containing the menu a program floating from white sta dards served as place cards. The tables were decorated with red and white carnations. Mr. Allen acted as toastmaster and the followin program was admirably rendered: ? ng Tho Trial, of .0 Editor- Farnham. The Cub Reporter— Margare pleton. Our Football Coach — Wilbert Cracken. Our Basketball Coach — Robert aret Sta- Ibert Mc- Whitmbre. White Hopes — Eunice Mrs. .... Hooper ' s Evans. Our Chaperon — Geraldine Herri man. Our Athletics — Mr. Evans. Our Parents — Mildred Deuel Our Sons and Daughters — Mi M. K. Herrick. Mrs. L. L. Herriman, representing the committee in charge, thanked the business men, teachers and par- ents for their enthusiastic support. Mr. Herrick then delivered an ex- temporaneous talk commending the work of the faculty and the school board, which received hearty ap- pl use. The following delectable viands were served by the Beauceant ladi Fruit Cocktail Turkey Dress Mashed Potatoes ' Gravy Carrots and Peas Buttered Rolls Perfection Salad Ice Cream Cake Coffee Mints After the banquet ,the tables were removed and the assembled party derived a great deal of amusement from the informal Leap Year dance that ensued. Those not interested in dancing adjourned to the billiard room and spent the rest of tha eve- ning there indulging in games of various sorts and de scriptions.

After the members had been chos- n, the three groups met for organi- zation. Constitutions and by-laws ere drawn up, voted upon ,and assed by the respective organiza- ions. The plan of each society is to give a program in the assembly once every three weeks and so far three of these programs has been given. ' The officers of the three societies are as follows: For the Spartans — President, Howard Rines; Secretary, Fred Stewart; Treasurer, Geraldine Herriman. For the Olympian — President, Robert Whitmore; Secre- tary, Mildred Deuel; Treasurer, Fred Luce. For the Thespians — Presi- dent Earl Metcalf; Treasurer, Har- old Walsh; Secretary, Paul McNitt. The purposes of organizing these societies may to some extent be self- evident. The constitutions specify as their aims to promote better school spirit, to destroy any cliquish- ness which may exist in the school, to build up a better spirit of co-oper- ation between the students them- selves, to learn to conduct meetings of all kinds according to the rules P3 far as possible these societies conducted by the students them- selves, because the idea of self gov- ernment and democracy is prevalent in our school and at the same time we believe in doing things for our- selves and not becoming too depend- ent on others for aid or assistance. Nevertheless, faculty advisors have been elected to act as critics and to give us such assistance as we can- not give ourselves. The Thespians chose Miss Nathan ,the Olympics JMiss Kellogg, the Spartans Miss Whitmore. It is hoped that these societies will exist as long as the Alamosa High School is in existence and that they will fill the places in the hearts of the students that they should, and that they will always be a potent fac- 1 tor for all that is good. -A da: : omTn| iible snores issuing from all parts Scathily a familiar figure glides gether and chuckles sinisterly. He crosses to the switch and floods the room with light. This discloses the mighty Seniors nodding and snooz- ing over their books. The villain once more crosses the stage and rubs his hands together. Villain (loudly) — Aha! Chemis- — The class awakens with a start and gazes terrified at the man, as §e word strikes horror to their arts. Villain — Jow I have you in my clutches, fair ladies and gentlemen. You must pass me before you can graduate. Wilma — Oh, kind sir! Villain — Hush, Madam. (Turn- ing to the others) Have any of you your chemistry lesson? Silence Villain (stroking his mustache) — Ahem, just as I thought. What is NaCl, Fred? Fred — Er — er — -North Carolina. Villain — And you think you ' ll get by? Aha! A-haaaaa! (pulls his mustache) What is C12H22011? Ted — Oh, Dear! (glances at Jer- ry, then at Lois) I haven ' t decided which one is. Villain (reflectively) — Ah, just as I thought. Oh, these dunces! But Bob, what is M23A9? Bob (downcast and sadly) Yes, Monte won. (Sigh and groans fill the room at this remark. Even the villain is touched by this expression of feeling and wipes his eyes with a handkerchief.) Villain— Too bad ,too bad. Leland — Yes, H2S. Eunice — -Help! Help! Open the windows. Villain — Now I have you in my clutches. I will never let you go. Hear me? You shall never gradu- ate. Get to work and learn my book of magic by heart. Work — ah — (snap, the lights go out, there is a rush, a bang of doors, screams, then silence. The lights are turned on and the villain is alone, tearing his hair and looking ferocious.) Villain — Curses! 1% had forgotten Hansen.
