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. Smith.
