It was in this year that twenty-five freshmen came quietly up the steps and timidly assembled to hear the directions given by Professor Drake during the morning exercises which were opened by the song, “Wake Freshmen Wake ” Often, however, we felt quite insignificant when we realized that there were three classes above us. Yet some of us realized that if our work was done well we would some day reach the goal for which we were aiming. We worked along the Freshman year as meek as lambs. But with the help of our teachers we overcame the trials and difficulties which hindered ur progress. It seemed years to us before that year went by but the good times we enjoyed out of school hours cancelled the monotonous hours spent in school. At last the examinations came which told us that the end of the school year was close at hand. The summer passed very quickly and it seemed but a few days when we were again assembled at the school house as Sophomores to take up the work of that class. This year seemed a very unlucky year to us, decreasing our ranks to the number of twelve, but this did not interfere with the progress of the rest of the class. Some had stopped because the obstacles which were in the way were too difficult for them to overcome. Others moved away for reasons not controlled by themselves. And of course we couldn’t all escape Cupid’s arrows, two have met with such fate which of course ended their school career. Yet the minority of the class which was four, thought it wise to continue to the end. It was during this year that we received Edith Champion, a very bright student into our class 10 continue her school career. She, knowing that Arvada had the best high school in the state, came all the way from Lead-ville to attend school here and she was indeed an inspiring classmate Anna Redstrom, also joined our class in this year, she had been attending the Fremont school but since that school was entirely to small for her. she decided to attend school here. As Sophomores we felt more dignified because we were above the Freshmen who acted very much more like lambs than we Day after day rolled very slowly on with the same routine of work which caused many of us to be discouraged until we were again confronted with examinations which made most of us shake with dread. Some were very much disappointed when they had received their examination papers which had been graded and had fallen below passing, while others [who had received their papers,] had a smile that wouldn't come off. The Junior year we organized as a '•lass with Byron Strickland as our President and Edith Champion as our Secretary and Treasurer, who proved to be very successful and faithful officers. This year seemed to be the happiest year of them all. The other two years were spent, it seemed to us in drudgery, while this was a year of joy rather than worry, but our studies were kept up which took up the time we would have used to get into mischief. We enjoyed the good times at the Flinch club which met each week at the home of the members. And most of all, the giving of our play in honor of the Seniors of 1912 which was indeed a very great success. It was in this year that Annabelle Smith joined us in our year of enjoyment who always looks on the bright side of everything. She had been attending North Denver High School but when she heard about the Arvada High School she immediately left there and came here to finish her high school course. It was also in this year that Bernice Bishop who had been attending Wolfe Hall joined our class. We often wonder why Bernice quit Wolfe Hall but the reason is very simple. At Wolfe Hall there was just one thing lacking for her enjoyment because that school is a school for girls and girls only. This made a total of nine students in the class but towards the latter part of this year one of our members dropped out leaving a number of eight. The end of the Junior year came to an end very quickly and it was then we thought of only one more year to attend the High School which of course made those who intend to go further than high school very glad. The last year or Senior year was also a year which was very much enjoyed by all. We progressed very nicely this year nearly all getting an average of ninety which of course excused us from our examinations. As Seniors we felt very proud of ourselves to think we were so near the end of high school. And the majority of the class which is seven intend to go on further than the high school. It was in the middle part of this year that one of our classmates finished the required work of the high school. And decided he would like a touch of college life which put him one half year ahead of those who intend to go to college. He has already attained quite a reputation as a writer, as was told by one of his classmates who read the article, wh’ch was in the Clarion, the Denver University paper and told hin. that if Webster should read that composition he would not recognize the English language. Two of our girl classmates have also attained a reputation as school teachers. Who after they have more training will become real school teachers. The trial will be a great help to them in the future. And now we are passing the week which for all of us will be the last at the high school and in future years we shall recall many pleasant happenings as we glance over ihe pages of The Annual published by the Senior class of 1913. Milton Nicholson. ( laNM Prophecy I stood at the western window watching the sun sink slowly behind the high and mighty mountains. How beautiful and extraordinary were the colors that illuminated the sky. Almost unconsciously I was awakened out of my dreaming by the feeling that someone was in the room with me. Forced at last to turn I beheld the most humorous sight I ever expect to behold. The tiniest of human beings stood on a table besides me. He was not more than six inches tall, dressed in the oddest style imaginable and what seemed most ridiculous was carrying a box, which in reality was quite small but beside him looked immense. Then he spoke and it seemed his voice was like the evening wind outside. I did not see his lips move but heard as plain as anything the question he asked. “Did I not think the evening sky a glorious revelation of the future?” As I answered, Yes, he said that in the box he held, was the future of anyone I wished to know. My thotsthen went back to Arvada to my class mates of 1913. Expressing my desire in knowing the future of these friends he unlocked the box and drew forth a small bottle. Then he asked if I would open the the window. When the window was opened and the substance in the bottle poured out I heard again the voice like the evening wind and he told me of my class mates since they left Arvada high school and their futures as he saw them. Anna Redstrom after finishing her high school career was undecided as to what line to follow so after a year of careful deliberation she decided to study telegraphy and was now an operator in California. He said she became an expert at that work and by her presence of mind (which I had often seen her use at school) she saved the lives of scores of sea-faring people. He did not know the name of the man but Anna was not going to die an old maid. When Bernice Bishop left school she had fully decided upon becoming a school teacher. But after securing a teacher’s certificate she decided there was too much worry to school teaching so she studied music. He said she studied in America but being very docile she soon knew as much about music as the Americans did and still bent on furthering her education she went abroad where Counts and Lords became hypnoticed by her wonderful playing. She came back to America followed by one of the favored Counts, the result of which Bernice became a Countess. After finishing at Arvada Walter Olson went to the School of Mines where he became a mining engineer and was now making his way to South America on the money he made raising celery. He said Walter found his fortune down there digging “dusky diamonds ” But starting home with his fortune, the natives, with an eve for business, followed him. But Walter still undaunted, produced such an offensive vapor with some of the chemicals which Mr. Drake had taught him to mix, that the natives took him for some terrible God and left him alone. But he stopped too long in Mexico where a dark eyed Senorita lived and here Cupid’s dart struck his heart. Thirza Davis during the summer of 1913 helped her father sell automobiles. Her winning ways attracted more attention than the machines and those who came undecided as to whether or not to buy went away only after purchasing a car Thirza then went to Greeley where she studied to become a kindergarden teacher. Now she was teaching and her greatest hope being realized she was enjoying life to the utmost. She made a great success of teaching because all the children loved her. Later she established a home for children and altho able to have all the work done by others, Thirza took an active part in the work. She visited Arvada where some lucky young man smitten with her handsome brown eyes went away with her and became president of her children’s home. Byron Strickland went to Denver University from Arvada where he took up law and literature. While there he became very popular with his short stories. Later he devoted all his time to law and entered the bar in 1919. He then went to Oklahoma where he won a case for a suffragette. After this he became very popular with the suffragettes who gave him all their cases. Then after several years he gave up his law practice and went to Utah where he became a Mormon. His future from that time could not be clearly seen in this little box. Edith Champion went to Colorado Agriculture college in September of 1913, where she studied Domestic Science and Latin. After two years at college she got a position as a Latin teacher in a Kansas school She taught latin for three years then giving that up she opened a first class bakery in Denver. Attracted by the smell of the good eatables just dozens of men crowded their wav to see the cook. To make a long story short Edith cooked her way to some lucky man’s heart. Milton Nicholson, when he finished high school spent his vacation as a conductor on the Tramway in Denver. In September 1913 he went to Ft. Collins where he took a veterinary course After finishing his college course he hung out his shingle. This work was too tame for Milton so he got into politics on the Democratic side. He became more important as the years passed and in 1928 he ran for president of the United States. Being defeated in this by a plurality too great to mention, here he struggled manfully to hold down the president-ship of the I. W. W’s. Annabelle S.

There were times when we thought it was impossible to surmount the obstacles that presented themselves, but by burning midnight oil, gathering copy, asking for advertisements, giving a social, coaxing people to have their pictures taken, selling pennants and roasting the knockers we are able to present a book which we are proud of. May each graduating class in turn put out a better and larger annual. The staff desires with sincerest gratitude to thank each one who has in anyway helped to further the welfare of this book.

Eva Miller, Myrtle Griffith, Frank Bayers, Dora and Dwight Dobbins started together in the first grade. There were others too but they djd not come on thru school. In the second year there were just the same pupils but in the third grade Robert Callicotte joined the little body of students and stayed with them two years. In the fourth grade Charles McCory entered the class and in the fifth grade Helen and Hallie French, Ray Foster and Fred Britton came in as new members. Clair Frey, Alfred Smith, Nellie Scott and myself became members of this class in the sixth grade John Olson too cast his lot and started out with us in that year, Winnie Wheeler. Hattie Weaver and Clarence Pavelka we found waiting for us in the seventh grade. Wesley Moreland. Marguerite Rodda and Linda VonHoit could not find a better class than ours and so joined us in the eight grade. We entered High School as Freshmen in 1910. Most of us had come out o'f the eight grade together but there were Edith Bailer, Isabell Hooper, Roxene Rucker, Sadie Smith and Vivian Griffith who came from other schools. Every one knows the trials and troubles of the Freshmen. We w’ere however able to come back as Sophomores although Linda Von Holt, Nellie Scott, Ray Foster and Vivian Griffith did not attend school that year, Mildred Tittler became a Sophomore and stayed with us a year. Robert Callicotte too entered our class again. Later on in that year we lost Marguerite Molle.tt when her parents moved away. Sophomore smiles are inspirations but certainly Junior smiles are more inspiring. At least we found them so. This year we have lost many of our former members Dora and Dwight Dobbins did not attend school here Clarence Pavelka. Helen and Hallie French stopped in the early fall and this spring Alfred Smith and Robert Callicotte withdrew from school. Harriet Eddy came all the way from Kansas to join our ranks and Hal Ragland deserted the Sophomores to be with us, a few weeks ago Arthur Apel entered the class. Well known everywhere, in fact far famed, we stand, not the largest class, but the leading class in High School. Always possessing dramatic ability we have helped other classes give plays and have given our own successfully The president for the Literary Society were Juniors in both semester. The vice president last year and first semester this year were Juniors. The Juniors possess lovely singers and rising artists. The High School pianist is a Junior, four of Basket Ball boys and three Base Ball players are from our class. We have left behind a joyous and merry past. We now must look forward to a brighter but a more serious future. May that future be as mufch more glorious as we would have the past could we do it all again.

It was the aim of Professor Drake to broaden the minds of the pupils and to develop their power of argumentation. The club met once a month and a good program was always arranged which was looked forward to with a great deal of pleasure by the pupils. The debates have generally dealt with the important questions of the day. The debaters as a rule take much interest in the subjects on which they find much valuable material. Ihis not only gives us an idea of the work that is going on in the world but points out the different lights in which to look at a subject, not only the debates but also other numbers on the program are helpful and instructive for us. In truth the organization of literary clubs and other societies, on the same order, is the only way in which to learn of the ability of the high school pupils. Not only the ability is considered but also the manner in which the selection is written or delivered In this the pupil may show that he is capable of putting into practice what he learns in his high school course. We all realize that our Literary Club is still in its infancy for the simple reason that it has only been organized such a short time. We know we have not enough experience as yet to enter into the Interscholastic Debates. Without doubt at the end of another year of conscientious work along this line, the Arvada high school will present some excellent debators. I do not say we lack the material now, for that matter, we have the material but the experience is lacking. Not only the ability of some of the oupils is shown in the literary club but is displayed in the publication of ‘‘The Cherry and White ” I think the purpose of this paper was to create a High School spirit and also to keep the pupils and town people in touch with the school work. Let the good work continue and Arvada will soon be able to compete in the Interscholastic Debates. i Edith Champion. bl A Ksmiily ISc By Byron W. Strickland It was early in the morning of mid August as I made my way along the rough mountain roads looking for an outlaw. My horse was full of life and we jogged along quite rapidly until almost noon then we descended into the quiet valley of “Lonesome Lake,” the first thing that caught my eye was a camp-fire in the midst of a pine grove along the border of the lake but on 1 rode and at last I saw that it was a camping party, the oder of the cooking soon reached me and I imagined that I was almost famished. I rode up to the lake to get a drink and water my horse as I did so I saw two young men dressed in khaki pants and high boots fishing, something looked familiar but I did not know what it was. “Doggon it Nick I’ve lost my smokun” came a disgusted remark. Where had I heard the name Nick before “Well Walter we’ll soon be to camp and then you can get some more besides its not going to kill you this once.” Nick, Walter, I know I have heard of them somewhere but where, I knew' of no one on the range by that name so my thoughts went back to the time before I went to the mountains but I could not place them. They were making their way towards the camp and I slowly led mv horse and follow'ed them. At last one of them looked around. “Say Walt, here comes some guy maybe its a game warden w'e better ditch those birds.” This hit me quick although I was not game warden, I was sheriff and 1 knew at once something was wrong. “Run Nick and tell the janes to ditch em, quick,, “Here just a moment fellows,” I hollered and thenjumpedon my horse and rode up to the law breakers, I gazed at them a moment but could not speak. “HelloStrick, old scout” exclaimed both Walt and Nick at the same time. “What the duce are you doing here,’’ I asked. “We are having a family reunion.” “A what?’’ “A family reunion’’ continued Walt “all the bunch of 1913 are here except you and Thirza, w'e wrote you both but I guess you didn’t get our letters, come on up to the camp and have something to eat.” I rode on while they walked at my side. “Say, what have you fellows been doing?” I asked. “Fishing” Oh! something worse than that I know, what were you so anxious to get to camp for when you thought that I was a game warden.” “0! nothing replied Nick” “Come now, tell me I’m not going to pin h you.’’ “Well we’ve been hunting and” “And shot a deer” “No! no! some chickens, some sage chickens” broke in Walt. “Well, well, I knew that both of you were gone on chickens but I didn’t think you would take advantage when their backs were turned.” ‘‘Never mind old boy you used to be gone on chickens yourself,” laughed Nick. By this time we were almost to camp evidently by the commotion that was going on something had gone wrong. ‘‘Edith! the spuds are burnt to pieces and the meat has caught on fire and burnt up,” cried Annabelle. “And I forgot to put the baking powder in my buscuits!” exclaimed Edith ‘‘the boys will be raving when they find this out.” “Never mind we can fix up something else just don't tell them nothing about it” came a little advice from a girl who had her back toward me but I knew her at once for there was only one light weight in our class it was Bernice. All were doing something but Anna and she was out under a pine tree reading a book “How to Pick Out a Husband” or something like that, just taking life easy having nothing on her mind but her hair and of course there was plenty of that. Edith after seeing what befell her buscuits tried to cut one open, of course, she was always awkward with a knife for in school she always had to have a boy sharpen her pencil, but she tried to cut one of the biscuits and instead found her finger much softer We began to laugh for it was so comical when we did they looked up in surprise, I guess because I was there, although they did not know me for a few minutes and when they did all seemed plpased to see me once more. Of course we had to make a little sport of them because of their failure of the cooking which they did not like. Bernice played nurse and gave her attention to the wounded while the rest of the girls disposed of the multilated dinner. I was almost starved for I had had nothing to eat since early in the morning, but when we asked for them to try again they refused- “Look here guy, if you think you can do any better get to work” demanded Annabelle as she poked a skillet at me. I thought she was joking but she was not so I took the skillet and set to work playing chef. Nick packed some fresh water and unsaddled my horse while Walt boiled some spuds, and I endeavored to fry some bacon, although it did catch on fire twice I did not let it burn up. Soon things were ready but what was to be done far bread. I said nothing but went and got biscuits, I thought that we could play soldier and imagine that we were eating hard-tack. Then we sat around on the ground and devoured the twice tried dinner and wished Thirza was here to join us. After dinner some went hunting others fishing, while a couple of girls and myself went boating. The afternoon soon passed and the sun began to paint colored pictures of clouds in the lake as we returned to camp. When we got there Walt was cleaning some fish at least that’s what he called them but they looked more like sardines to me, while Nick found great pleasure in trying to entertain the rest of the girls. It was time for supper so I began to split some wood while Nick tried to build a fire but I had to go to his aid for he was using up all the matches, I noticed by the way he would strike them that he never got over the habit of striking matches like a woman. Soon the fire was ready and the girls tried once more to get something to eat. Walt's sardines made quite a pile and Edith’s biscuits were just like mother used to make. At last supper was ready and it was a spread for a king, we sat down in a circle but we did not make fun of this meal for it was simply great. Just as we started to eat I heard the coughing and choaking of an auto, it had been a long time since I had heard one but the sound seemed natural as the machine rounded the bend by the lake I saw that it was a Ford and at the wheel was Thirza, it came slowly coughing and groaning up to the camp, then we all stood up and gave nine, Rahs! for Thirza! for now our crowd was complete. The first thing we had to do was to give the auto a drink for its engine was hot from the way Thirza had worked it, then we sat down and finished our supper. We sat here a long time talking about first one thing then another and fighting mosquitoes while the girls washed the dishes, then we talked of our dear old school days and sang songs of the Cherry and White Long did we talk here under the starry roof until the fire had died to one smouldering coal. I placed the saddle upon my horse for I had to be on my way, I shook hands with them all, I could hardly talk when I mounted my horse and bid them farewell but I must go, on I rode up the mountain side and when at the top I looked down upon the sleeping camp and wondered when we would meet again.

The quality of the team was good for even though they won only two of the eight games played they managed to make the game a hard one for their opponents in each case. There is every reason to believe that Arvada will have a winning Girls’ Team next year. Iloyw The 1912—’13 Cherry and White team came through the season in great style, winning eight out of a total of 13 games played. Being such a small school in comparison with other schools, we are justly proud of this record. The first game of the season was played at Westminster College, when we held the Collegians to a 16-19 score. We then defeated Brighton High School 38-25, Littleton High School 27-9 but we were halted in our career by the Thors of Denver. Coming back, Arvada trounced the Thors. Arvada’s team next took a defeat at the hands of our traditional enemies Wheatridge—score— 59 12. Manual Training School carried away a game on our home-floor—score—52-14. This game was harder fought than the score indicates. After a short rest the A H. S. boys journeyed to Golden and returned with the game in a sack, 32-26. This marked the beginning of a winning streak, during which we defeated Littleton H. S. 28-25, Brighton H S. 47-7, Golden H. S 35-27 and Castle Rock H. S. 41-38. Wheatridge spoiled any championship aspirations we might have had when they took us into camp by a 38-22 score. The 2nd Basket Ball Team won more than half their games and finished in a blaze of glory when they administered to Wheatridge 2nd team a drubbing. May we always have as good a record! Here’s to 1913—’14. Hal Ragland. (lilfk(irN Baseball Baseball has not awakened the enthusiam in A. H. S. as basket ball has aroused, but we have some good material which only needs a little practice and coaching in order to show good form. Only three games have been played thus far, two with Wheatridge and one with Golden. These games were all lost by the narrow margin of one or two runs. Our season will be short this year but let everyone remember the coming year and make preparations accordingly. Track For the first time in its history Arvada High School will compete in a state track-meet, when it will send its chosen athletes to Boulder where the annual High school meet is held. This will occur about the time this book is in your hands so we have no means of knowing how our men will show up. From present indications our team is strong, especially Recht in the jumping department. Of course no one will forget the inter-class meet this month. The present Junior class won last year’s meet but it is anybody’s race this year. Football Football is as yet in its infancy at A. H. S , the organization of a team having only taken place this spring. When school opens in the fall Arva-daites may expect to see a bunch of H. S huskies chasing the pigskin, perhaps defeating a Denver school or two, who knows? Here’s hoping! OrgnniKiiiioiiN The Boys Athletic Association met for the first time in April 1913, and at once opened a campaign for a gymnasium at our High school. The various athletic directors are elected for this body. Football, Basket ball, Baseball, captains and Track manager and assistant managers were elected Everyone is pulling for a gymnasium and we have great hopes of securing one, with the aid of Arvada citizens and students.

Mr Drake: From the amount of hot air you have given off lately I should imagine that you would weigh several pounds less.

It was a gay party that left Griffith for Morrison for a day’s outing. The girls were dressed in suits la Rucker while the boys wore Champion suits of a black and white Weave[r]. After we Rod [e[da mile or so a Bishop and his two 01 [d]sons coming down the road frightened the Wheeler[s] and one wheel struck a St[r]ick[as a ]Iand mark. After striking Moreland marks we at last came to a Rag[ged]land where we decided to have our Frey. One of the girls wanted to play Balle[o]r Hoope-[olr something so all we could do was to By(h)ers a Redst(r)ome ball. After having all we wanted to eat we started for home vowing that a day had never been spent better.
