Class Gifts It is during this last week of school that I have taken the greatest pains to gather mementoes for each member of the graduating class to help you meet the duties of lffe as they come to you. I shall proceed to distribute them to you, feeling thrilled with the thought that It is more blessed to give than to receive ' and trusting that each little gift may be received in the same spirit as I present it. As I call your names, one by one, will you please come forward to receive these tokens : Louise Sundquist — Louise, you are a flirt ! Your eyes are very dan- gerous, particularly as this is leap year. For the sake of protecting others, I give you these goggles, and implore you to wear them. Paul Egan—Your trusty bike has worked hard the past four years to bring you within reach of your diploma. That you may give it com- plete rest, the class presents you with this pair of roller skates. Lloyd Bergman — We have been observing your rather unsuccessful attempts to gain a certain young lady ' s confidence. To help you in your quest, I am presenting you with a book entitled, How to Make Love. The book does not give any suggestion on a way to tame a young prize fighter. Fred Luce — Here is a little postage stamp I give yon with this thought ; Always follow its example and stick tight to one thing till you get to the place you ' ve set out for. A Ford doesn ' t always get you there. Wilma Farnhdm — Lest you forget this strenuous year and your wayward classmates, we present you with this Midget Messenger Boy, who shall always carry the colors of the class of 1924. Geraldine Herriman — I had planned to give you the latest book on The Necessary Qualifications of a Doctor ' s Wife, but since your inter- est seems to have turned toward finances and bankers, I believe this gift will be more pleasing. It is a savings bank from the Alamosa National Bank. We know you will make the best use of it. Howard Rine$ Knowing that your idea of heaven is an arm chair

5. enior Class Poem Clas smates, Goodbye! School Pals, Adieu! Farewell is linked with pain; The suns will rise, and days be blue, Before we meet again ! Out on Life ' s wild and restless sea, Without our teachers ' aid, We ' ll face it all quite cheerily, And will not be afraid. We want to thank our faculty, Who have given love and care Without complaint to you and me, And they were always fair. So here ' s three cheers for A. H. S. To teachers, pals, and friends, The Valley ' s finest, I confess, So now our good time ends. — Eunice Eva
