Page 12 ' - -N g CHAPTER IV Now this, the fourth year, in the history of this great and wonder- ful Class of '27, has been one of hard labo-r and with little resting by the way- side. The pride of the Class having waxed great, they decided to adopt for themselves a seal which was set in a ring. It also happened that this great and wonderful Class did wish its Wisdom and history to be written in the great book, THE ARRIBANH, and so they chose from amongst them committees to write the Class Will, Proph- ecy, History, Song, and Poem. Now it came to pass that these Seniors gave a great play, Mammy's Lil' Wild Rose , for which they received much praise. From their number, were chosen great ones to sing in the Operetta, and to enter into the Literary and State Contests. At the end of their journey, they were feted by the Juniors who had heretofore shown little respect for the Seniors. Those who have toiled together and made this history are: Denver, of the House of Biby. Leonard, the only son of the House of Schrack. Cecil, the first son of James, of the House of Morgan. Mary, whose surname is Miller. Florence, the second daughter of Edward of the House of Swallom, who is a tiller o-f the soil. Mable, the most diligent daughter of the House of Peckham. Max, the second son, of the House of Hutchins, whom the Class of '27 did choose for President. Ted, a Kolassa, whose wicked eye has cast many an underclassman into a fit of fear. Flora, the eighth child, of the House of Fruhling. Agnes, Whose surname is Gourley. Evelyn, the first daughter, of the House of Smith, who is contem- plating changing her name, and Margaret, who speaketh these words of enlightenment to you. 6900 X4 of , Qp - .7 , ,lin VSV: fix-o O w,y3E','5f' 'fmilffar .

-A gg Page 11 CLASS HISTORY Class of 1927 CHAPTER I Now the history of the Class of '27, of the High School of the City of Arriba, County of Lincoln, State of Colorado, is in this wise: In 1923 there entered into this Land of Learning, fourteen seekers of knowledge. Some of these had come from the Arriba grades, and some had come from other schools. On entering this land, they were received with wild welcomings and rejoicings by upper classmen, and most of all by the Sophomores, who, be- cause of their fierce taste for Freshmen discomfort, did pounce upon them, and did cause them endless torment. But soon the Freshmen became accus- tomed to their unnatural surroundings, and became one amongst the rest. They entered into the spirit of A. H. S. with much vigor, and before the year ended, the class, through its basketball ability and other achieve- ments, had placed its name upon the hall of fame. At the end of the year everyone decided that A. I-I. S. was the place to gain great knowledge. CHAPTER ll At the beginning of the second term, the Class of '27, remembering in their dignity, the days of their greenness, gave unto the class of '28 two- fold of the torture that had been given them. And there came to Arriba a' professor who bade them to organize their class into a body, and to take upon themselves the honor of the peppiest and best class in the school. This they did, and have maintained that honor all through their high scho-ol career. In the course of events, the Class lost three of its members, but the remaining eleven toiled on and succeeded in holding the title of the best class in Arriba High, and in keeping a high standard in athletics and literary ac- tivities. CHAPTER Ill It happened that there came unto A. H. S. to be Juniors fourteen students. They had gained for themselves previously an honorable title and lived up to it diligently. They entertained themselves and the schoo-1, and in turn were entertained. They prepared before the Seniors a banquet, which was the custom, and gave unto them flowers. It came to pass that in the Carnival they made great contributions to the school. Also they gave a play which was the first Junior play ever given in Arriba High. Through their athletics and literary achiew ements, they gained great fame both for themselves and their school. One from the midst was chosen to go to Boulder to compete in oration against the best in the state. Thus they continued.

A Page 13 CLASS WILL Ladies and Gentlemen, Board of Educatio-n, Superintendent, Teachers and Friends:- Upon behalf of my client, the Class of 1927, of Arriba High School, of the City of Arriba, State of Colorado, U. S. A., I have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. She has tried to be just, as well as generous and impartial, and to distribute wisely unto those who will make the best use of such gifts as she has in her power to bestow, the talents that have served her faithfully these four years. She hereby gives into your possession, praying that you will ac- cept Ihem as a sacred trust from one who has gone before. Listen, now, one and all, while the document is read as duly drawn up and sworn to: We, the Class of 1927, in twelve individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, dispose of the following in this way: Item : We give and bequeath to our dear faculty a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they worry over us. It has been a hard strain on them for Seniors at all times are said to be difficult to manage. Item : We give and bequeath to our dear Superintendent, Professor R. C. Travis, our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, our heartiest gratitude and the wealth of our eternal memory. In attempting to pay for all he has done us, including the faithful instruction during the term at Arriba High, we make over to him, a heavy mortgage on our future in the Great Unknown Beyond. Item : We again give and bequeath to our beloved faculty, all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them on various examination papers. We authorize them to give out such of this in- formation to the world as they may feel the world is ready to- receive. We trust they will also feel at perfect liberty to make use of all such bits of wis- dom and enlightenment for the education of the classes to come after us. This, of course, is left entirely to their personal discretion. Item : We give and bequeath to the Junior Class all the boys who could not keep pace with the brilliant girls who compose this Class. Item : . We likewise give and bequeath to this same Junior Class, as a stu- dent body, Theodore Kolassa's knowledge of Science, Art, and the Universe, in whole, or in part. VVe trust the class may be able to survive it.
