Time: 1924 A. D. Place: Music Start- les, We Iris — Have you any Have No Bananas? Storekeeper — No, we have Yes, We Have No Bananas. Young Russell came home one af- ternoon with his clothes nearly torn off. His Mother — Harold, what on earth happened to you? Harold — Oh, I was just defending a good little boy. Mother — Who was the good little boy? Harold — It was myself. Harold W. — I say, Kirk, what shall I do if they ask me to sing? Kirk — Do? Why, sing, of course — it ' ll be their own fault! Studentary work, said Mr. Ev- ans, tends to lessen the endur- ance. In other words, butted in Ted Heilman, the more one sits the less one can stand. Exactly, retorted Mr. Evans, if one lies a great deal one ' s standing is completely lost. Dear Editor: As Dorothy ' s birth- day draws near, I am beginning to worry over the financial end of it- How much should I spend on hv Mr. Evans? Ans. — Don ' t spend over one dollar on her. Adam only gave one bone to Eve on her birthday. Mr. Hanson — Elva, why don ' t you wear more paint and powder? If you would, the boys would like you better. They like girls that wear paint and powder so much. Elva Case — That ' s what I try to do, but I can ' t get any more to stay on. Frances Bolger — Do you know Fat Burns? Eunice Evans — No. Frances Bolger — Well, it does. Louise Sundquist — Do you know Lena? Frances Bolger — Lena who? Louise Sundquist — Lena Gainster. An English professor wrote on the blackboard in his laboratory: Pro- fessor Wilson informs his students that he has this day been appointed honorary physician to Her Majesty, Queen Victoria. In the morning he had occasion to leave the room and found on his return that some student had added to the words: God save the Queen! Miss Weber — In Shakespc time they discouraged bad acting throwing vegetables at actors. Bob W. — Wish they did that now. Voice — Better be careful, Bob, you might get some in the Senior class play yourself. Dear Editor: My otherwise manly sweetheart is afraid of cats. What shall I do? — Heartbroken Frances Bolger. Ans. — Surely you are mistaken, understand you are a Senior. Mr. Elicker (riding down town in Fred ' s truck after a tedious day) — Say, does this car always make this racket? Fred — No, sir; only when it ' s running. Mr. Hanson — Albert, I believe you are lazy. Albert — I believe you are right. (Albert got an hour and a hal that.)

4 « F S. WILL HAVE AN ANNUAL. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THREE YEARS!! ESSAY ON PENITENTES stu- t out or the first time in three years, A. H .S. will have a real annual. Whether it will be a success or a failure lies entirely with the stu- dent body. Three years ago A. H. S. put one of the classiest annuals in Colo- rado — but , unfortunately the stu- dent body was not behind the staff and the school board was forced to pay a $400 debt. Will history re- peat itself, leaving a second mar- tyred staff, or is every individual student going to buy an annual and put this thing across? Is there a single student in A. H. S. who has not enjoyed this school year? Will you ever forget the football season — and don ' t ypu want a picture of that gallant team with a snappy history of its success to keep forever? And don ' t you want another picture of our basket- ball team, who won undying fame for our dear old school at the tour- nament? These and others of the faculty, the Midget Messenger Staff, the baseball team and the glee clubs | will all be in the 1924 annual. Then j there is the Beauty Contest. Of course you want to see your class beauty go down in history as th prettiest and most popular girl i: the 1924 school year. If you wor! for this contest, you will not onl; bring fame to your class, but hel; the financial end of the annual. If you are a patriotic, peppy school spirited student, this annua will be priceless to you. Get behind us! Boost! Mont has an annual every year — are yo going to let them beat us? The Penitentes — from a Spanish word meaning penitent — is a sec whose rites at Lent are peculiar and sometimes horrible. During Lent they punish themselves as an atone- ment for their sins during the year. They imitate or reproduce the cru- cifixion of Christ. A member of the sect, who is chosen to represent Christ, considers himself lucky. If death should result, his salvation is assured. They beat themselves with all sorts of torturous whips. The man who is- to ' becrucified carries the cross to a chosen place where it is erected, and he is nailed to it and left for some period of time. He is taken down after unconsciousness is reached. The burial of the crucified is supposed to take place, but rarely does. In my experience I have known of a living baby being suffocated by the Penitentes. I was also acquainted with an old Mexican who lived at Petac ' a, New Mexico, who suddenly disappeared from this place. It was soon after the Penitentes had cele- brated Lent ,and we learned that he had used barbed wire with which to lash himself. Death followed as a result of blood poisoning and lack of care. In another town one of the prettiest children is always chosen as a victim to be fed to a snake. It almost seems impossible in this day and age that such conditions could prevail in any section of our country. It would seem that some attempt should be made to remedy conditions of this kind.
