(’lasN IIiNlory “Opportunity knocks at everyone’s door. ” September the third, ninteen hundred and nine was a date that marked an important event in the lives of the present graduating class, for it was then that we started our High School career. 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.
