It need not be mentioned how well they, who started in the little red brick school house with Miss Lawrence as their teacher, were drilled in their A. B, C’s and 1.2, 3's. The class has shown its ability in the past and will even show greater ability in the future. The class of ’21 will be remembered for years to come and even the class below us will have to work quite hard to gain as high a goal as the class of ’21 has done and will do forever. The members of the class who started to school on that memorable morning early in September 1909 are Leonard Minges, Ada West, Kenneth Vetting, Goldie Thomas, Anna Bacher and Mildred Graves. From there we traveled to the second grade where Helen Wagner, and Eldora Fisk joined us, in the fourth grade Gladys Camblin, fifth Charles Maloney and Evelyn Carroll, seventh Kenneth Townsley and Emmiline Kruse. We then entered High school as ’the little green freshinen but we knew we weren’t as green as any of the others. Here Hugo Abbott joined our ranks. We set to work with the x’s and y’s of algebra and the dreaded Latin, so we hadn’t much time for anything else. We were represented during the freshmen year in athletics by Charles Maloney in basket-ball. Thus ended our freshmen year. We entered the sophomore year with high hopes ami ambitions. In this class we met Beulah Hiatt, Louis Damours and Lillie Griffith. We were represented by Gladys Camblin and Charles Maloney on the basket-ball teams. We started the junior year with renewed interest as we had a complete change of faculty. As a result we were quite unsettled in our school work as well as in our athletics. This year several new members entered our class namely: Lloyd Headrick, Harold Brown, Ruth Lane, baith Steward, Ralph Denton and Esther Brown. Then we entered the happiest year of our high school life as dignified seniors. Here we had our new school building with its well equipped rooms for the different branches of study, as well as an auditorium and gymnasium. In this happy year the S. F. C. club was formed under the suggestion of Mrs. Schneider nee Miss Weibelt. Only senior girls are eligible. Among the new friends we find in our class this year are: Lucille Weis, Raymond Fox, Clifford Nan Scyoc and Emmiline Herera. Now that commencement is so close at hand we are filled with the thought that we will never meet again in the dear old High School. May we all prosper in the future years at whatever tasks we undertake and may we recall with pleasure the good old times the members of the class of '21 have had together. One half score and two years ago our mothers brought in to the little red school house a new class of pupils, invested by ignorance but dedicated to the proposition that all children are created equal to learn. Now we are engaged in a great strife for knowledge, testing whether that class of pupils or any class of pupils so invested and so dedicated can long endure the test. We are met on a great battlefield of that strife for knowledge. We have come to dedicate a portion of that class of pupils as a final tribute for those who here gave their time and talents that knowledge might be gained. It is altogether fitting and proper that we do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate—we cannot hallow—this class of pupils. I he brave pupils who have struggled through all the years to gain this knowledge have concentrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what we have done. It is rather for us to dedicate ourselves to the unfinished work that we have before us. That from the honored task we give increased knowledge of that cause for which we give the last full measure of our strength. 1 hat we may here resolve that these pupils shall not have worked in vain-that this class with Gods guidance shall have a new gift of knowledge and that such desire for more knowledge shall not perish from the earth.

Pane Thirteen Class Prophecy Into the glow of the Indian campfire came the old medicine-man, stooped and hideous looking, with long black hair stringing over his shoulders. He seated himself near me and began to mumble and chant. “Make it snappy with your prophecies, old thing, I ain’t got all night,” I muttered. He gave me a strange glance and went on with his mumblings which became more coherent. Finally lie held up his hand for silence, and leaning forward, stared intently into the fire. “I see a tall boy, Lloyd Headrick. He is single,” he said in very good English, “he will have a college education which he will top off with a course at a popular dancing school, then he will have one of his own.” Ah, I see the name Steward. She will teach school for three years after she leaves Arvada High, then will go abroad and marry a Frenchman and have a beautiful villa near Paree.” Then throwing a small log on the fire he continued, “and Evelyn Carroll will teach school a year, go to Greeley a year, teach another year, then elope with Leonard Minges, who will be a vaudeville comedian by night, and a drayman bv day. Then they will move to Seattle where he will run a ferry.” “Harold Brown will be head waiter at Brown Palace until 1928, Leap Year, when he succumbs to the pleading of the saucy Palace scullery maid and settles down as train caller at the L'nion Station.” “Ah, here is a difficult one,” he muttered. “So much of the America pep, it is hard to catch the actions. She will lead a hard and strenuous life, trying to force her fellow Congressmen to pass a bill eliminating all negroes from Washington I). C , a bill which gets a minority of one vote in Congress. The name is Lucille Weis.” “Here is a short one, Griffith. She marries a retail merchant and settles down in Lincoln, Nebraska. She will buy all her wedding regalia at the Brandeis Stores in Omaha. Her husband will buy an aeroplane and Shorty will chase all over Omaha in it. She will have only one accident and that one, when she hits a small cloud and causes a slight downpour above the Platte River. She will grow two inches and become a little slenderer.” He began to rock to and fro, mumbling incantations. It got on my nerves. All around was darkness, except for the white shadows of the teepee which resembled ghosts. “Aw, come down to earth,” I snapped at him, “Snap out of it, you old fake.” He again looked into tin fire. “Ha! Another short one!” he cried. “Camblin will become well known as an artist, who paints outdoor scenes with gestures such as those she used to make as the “Angel Child” in the “Hoodoo.” “Angels of the Happy Hunting Grounds!” he cried. “Here is the queer name.” Ah, it is Van Sevoc. After years of labor as Arvada night marshal, he will join the Navy and marry Grace Sehoeeh, who, like an Evangeline, will follow him all over the world, for the sake of a dinner or luncheon with him in far between ports.” “Charlie Maloney and Helen Wagner will marry after they finish college. They will have trouble over an actress and get a divorce. Chuck will become a burglar and be well known as Kid Maloney, or Charley, the Kid. Helen will have a millinery store in Montana and all the cowboys will require a new hat about twice a month.” “Anna Bacher, true to her “rep” as the Dazzling Daisy, will become star girl in the Redbird chorus, playing in the Trivoli theatre at Arvada, and the Empress in Denver.” “Ralph Denton, after a vain struggle trying to get Spanish thru his skull, will buy a ranch near Rio De Janerioin Brazil, and hire Senor Des Martine as coach and take up the old Spanish Reader, “El Capitan Vcneno,” again.” “Esther Brown will achieve fame for her beautiful hair, which she will cut off at intervals and have made into beautiful switches, which net her “two bits” to the switch. Between intervals she hammers away on a typewriter, having won first honors under Mrs. Harrison when in high school.” “Louis Damours will take Mr. Wheatley’s respected but somewhat-----------------place as teacher of the Economics Class, when that worthy gentleman sees fit to submit the place.” “Eldora Fisk will take her place in the world of scholars and statesmen; and will become a college professoress and marry a bishop.” “Yes,” 1 interrupted, “I remember all too well the time she was exempt from the Chemistry Semester quiz.” Pane Fourteen “Emmiline Kruse will become nurse at the Children's Hospital. Denver, doing cartooning for the Denver Express in her spare time. “Kenneth Vetting will forget his distaste for an audience and become a groat speaker in world capitals.” “Mercy,” I said. “I remember when he didn’t even want to give the Class History at Commencement.” “Silence when my spirit communes with the God of the Future.” “Ruth Lane, red of hair and temper, becomes a fiery speaker against the Anti-Cigarette League, and finally wins her point, much to the satisfaction of high school and college jakes” “She was a Lulu!” I cried. “Beware, lest the God of the Future refuse to speak!” I quickly stuffed my handkerchief n my mouth. “And Goldie Thomas will become the head saleslady at Neusteters as Father Time goes on, and wed the head bookkeeper of the firm of Clinger Son.” “Kenneth Townsley, with his old managing ability of the Basketball team still with him, will take his place as manager of a second Babe Ruth.” “Ada .West, true to the whisperings of her heart, is an old maid school teacher in Arizona teaching four pupils.” “Mildred Graves, following her motherly instincts, becomes the wife of a Methodist minister, a widower with four little ones.” “Heavens!” I yelled, “Save the pieces! You're a fake!” “The Great Spirit commands thy silence! Raymond Fox leads blushing Sara to the altar two years after Commencement, and they live happily ever after on a ten-acre farm at Fruitdale.” “Hugo Abbott will become an aeroplane fiend and perform all manner of stunts in the air and will almost drive clear to Mars in his aeroplane but will run out of wind before he gets there.” “Emmiline Herrera will become an American History teacher, a second Miss Conboy, but with not quite so much patience with her Juniors and Seniors as Miss Conboy had.” “And what about me, old dear?” “You will revolutionize the basketball world by a grand stunt. Namely, that of dodging under your opponents arm and shooting baskets from the center.” “Oh, you are a quack,” I screamed and beat it for home and bed. Page Fifteen Class Will Friends and parents gathered here to witness our departure from this sphere of Life, we appoint you as executors of this, our last will and testament, assured that you will see that this is properly carried out. Four long years the pupils of A. H. S. have journeyed the rocky paths of knowledge, accumulating worldly goods. During the last five months the class of 1921 considering that it would be wrong to pass into the great hereafter, without enriching some of those who will follow in our footsteps, have appointed me to make this last will and testament, bequeathing unto those we leave behind such things as we have accumulated or were left to us by our predecessors. Be it remembered that we, the class of ‘21. having at this time full control of all our mental powers, do make this our last will and testament, revoking and annuling all other wills heretofore made by us either by word or in writing. We also order and direct that it is our wish and intention that the following articles should be the property of the said classes, to be used by them as they see fit. To the jolly Juniors, we bequeath our senior classroom, t lie pride of the school, with all of its possessions thereof, i. e. its four walls and ceiling, tables, chairs and chemical equipment. Also the faucets and water therein. Our most prized trophy, the large and magnificent Intra-mural pennant which the senior class has always possessed. Last but not least, we leave our dignity and super-intellegence to the normal Juniors. We wish to request that these, our most valued treasures, will receive as good care as they have always had. To the Sophomores we leave nothing but our best wishes and thanks, for it is plainly seen that if you keep on doing as you have done for the past two years, this class will rise to illustrous fame; such as Babe Ruth, Jimmy Thorp, or probably a Jennett Rankin or Galli-Curci. To the Freshmen, we bequeath the south black-board in the south central room. Now do not look surprised at this gift, for you most certainly know that this board is used for the names of those who get afterclass. And as you freshmen are always in majority on this special board, thinking you were trying to obtain possession of it, by right of great representation, we thought this would be a most acceptable gift. To the teachers, who have guided and shaped the course and policy of the Old Town School, we give hearty thanks, together with a bond of friendship. To the Athletic Association of A. H. S. we hereby give the support of the citizens of Arvada, as well as that of the school. We sincerely wish that you will have as great a success as we have had this last year. To our janitor we leave the keys of the different departments of our building, and heartfelt thanks for his admirable patience in ending the annoyances to which we have subjected him. To our friends let us now give for many favors shown us as we went slowly through school, hearty thanks. If there should be any of our property remaining that we have not bequeathed, we leave it for our executors to use as they see fit. In witness whereof, I hereto set my hand and seal this twenty-fifth day of May, Anno Domini 1921.

Then comes the Moon girls, you can’t read their mind But you’ll be surprised when they leave you behind Then comes Roy Mitchell, whom all call “Fat” But he’s quite a favorite, so no difference for that Also Gladys Mitchell, but we’d hate to say What we think of her and her crazy way Then comes Marie Nagel, much discretion she has And though never found boasting, we know she will pass And then Marion Newton, so happy and free So dear to our hearts she will always be And then Roy Plack, our famous Shylock Who’s quite a good actor, but never a mock And next, Chandos Reid, for music so noted And always in school,--to her books so devoted And next are the Reeves girls, who do all their work Though tasks be as mountains, they never will shirk And then comes Rose Russell, rightly named Rose She is pretty as the darkest red rose ever grows And then Loree Sommers, who’s determined to fool Those who don’t know him well, he’s so quiet in school And next, Thelma Strickland, so steady and cool We always feel sure she’ll do her work in school And Isabel Sherer, you must understand Is quite as industrious as any on land Then comes Frank Shepherd, who’ll run a good race And when the hist bell rings he’s always in place And Elizabeth Schmutte, who’s really quite bright If she’d only refrain from going out after night Then there’s Alice Tucker, our little toe dancer And if called on in English, she’ll be sure to answer Then there’s Edward Trout, who jumps highest of all And is also a shark at playing baseball Pate Twenty-tiro The Sophomore Class—Continued And also Frank Tyrrell, so childish ho acts But all foolish quarrels soon counteracts And next, Vivian Vetting, “old faithful and true” Whatever your lot is, she’ll be nice to you And then Flava White, who’s always so quiet That whatever happens, she never will riot And next, Henry Williams, long absent he’s been We surely are glad to see him here again And next on this list is our friend, William West Though his arm was twice broken, he’s one of our best Next comes Stella West, who sings like a bird Who denies that a Soph should “be seen and not heard” Last of all, Eben Young, whom we call “Ebeneezer” He had lots of nerve, for he attacked “Caesar” Gladys Mitchell, Page Tuenty-thtee Freshman Class OFFICERS President. . . .

Exdhich Rogers .Clifford Hines Winifred Maloney Miss Conboy Page Twenty-four Freshman Class History Edythe Doud At last after many struggles we are Freshmen. But our troubles before were nothing compared to what they are now. However we managed to take the Sophomores down a few pegs when we held a weinie roast without their knowledge. But they stepped ahead of us by selling more basket-ball tickets, and we were obliged to give them a BIG FEED which however I think we managed to do with good results, as everyone seemed to look very good-natured the next day. Our girls won laurels for themselves by winning a basket-ball game from Lafayette; which we duly celebrated. As our treasury looked rather depleted we sold ice cream cones at the last basket ball game given at Arvada. We also took charge of the “Trivoli” theater on a Tuesday night, and intend to use the proceeds for a Reception. We will admit that Freshmen are rather green material, but after this year is over and we have received the last hard knocks of the worldly Seniors, we hope that the rough edges will be smoothed off; and that we will be in a position to cease worrying our teachers by an attempt to delve into the mysteries of Caesar, the bisecting of bugs and other touchy subjects, without taking too many naps. So we are now prepared to take the second step toward Seniority. The tender little Sophies work To get their lessons tough; The Freshies sweat; the Juniors shirk, The Seniors oh, they bluff. Pate Twenty-fit S. F. C. Girls Only Senior Girls are eligible. Our Title is our motto. At the suggestion of Mrs. Schneider nee Miss Weibelt, t lie Senior Girls decided to organize the S. F. C. Club with Lucille Weis as president. The girls have had very good times because most everyone of them attended the functions given by the club and they always felt welcome. In October there was a party at the home of Lucille Weis at which part of the girls dressed as boys. Ada West and Gladys Camblin entertained one evening and night, the girls went to Ada’s first, for games and candy-making and then to Gladys’ for a slumber party. One Saturday afternoon was spent out at Mi’s. Schneider’s making candy. One noon hour was spent on Ralston Creek eating lunch and taking snap shots. Are we not glad we formed the S. F. C. club? Every girl says, “We are. Page Twenty-fix Memorable Days September 20. Teachers’ pay and students’ worry began.

If there is any sufficiently enlightened individual who knows any reason why this painful operation should not be performed, let him stand forth or forever hold his feet. “Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to love, honor, always do the dishes, scrub the floor, put out the cat, and wind up the canary? “I pronounce you fit to go through life in double harness. After the ceremony.

S. was sadly neglected so neglected, in fact, that it dropped out of existence entirely several years ago, and has since, until 1921, been the missing link of Arvada’s activities. But as soon as the English teacher, Miss Conboy, came, vague rumors of a real debating team spread through the school. A little later the Corresponding Secretary of our team, Kenneth Vetting, received a letter from the head of the Debating League of Colorado, stating that the question adopted by the League was: “Resolved, that there should be a National Board of Arbitration with compulsory powers for settling industrial disputes of national significance.” By the time the winter exams, were over, the society was well under way, and at almost any hour between dawn and dark one might see some industrious person wading bravely through volume after volume of learned dissertations on Arbitration, Labor Problems, Capital Problems, and problems ad infinitum. The Secretary received a challenge to debate some time in February. The challenge was accepted Arvada taking the affirmative, and Ruth Foster, a Junior, Raymond Fox and Hugo Abbott, Seniors, were selected for the combat. On the evening of March 19 the debate took place in the High School Auditorium. Our speakers, even though the sport was new to them, spoke remarkably well, offering arguments that almost caught the opposing team off their guard; but in the end Idaho Springs won out, rather because of more practise than on account of any superiority. We have put a tack in the wall of the English room, upon which we expect to hang the laurels won by the Debating Team of A. H. S. next year. Pa t Thir y Pane Thirty-one OUR ORCHESTRA Page Thirty-two Girl’s Athletics The girls had a very successful year for basketball. A large number were out for practice early in October, and all started out with lots of “pep” for the coming season. Class teams were chosen and inter-class games were played. The Juniors being victorious, winning all the games played. The main team was chosen by Coach Miss Weibelt, from the class teams and were the following: Grace Schocch, Helen Newton, Ruth Foster, Forwards: Beulah Hiatt, Hazel Graves, Centers: Sara Camblin (Captain), Anna Bacher, Gladys Camblin, Guards. The first league game was played with Littleton on our home floor. Littleton has always been our most dangerous rival, but we did them up in fair style. The result of the game was the score of 17 for Arvada, and 7 for Littleton. The following week we journeyed to Bennett. This was also a very hard game, but by a little hard work on our part we beat them by a score of 11 to 8. The next game was with Golden and we were victorious again the score being 48 for Arvada, and 4 for Golden. The Wheatridge game was next and we rolled up a score of 53 while they had only 1. We played Englewood next and beat them 55 to 2. This ended the first half of the season. In the second half the first game at Littleton was our first blow and hit us pretty hard. We were not used to being defeated and the girls took it hard. We could not hold the girls down the first half, but the last half we held them to a score of 2 to 1, but we had lost so much the first half that we could not make it up and the final score was for Arvada 19, and Littleton 25. This tied us with Littleton for championship. The next four games played we were victorious the scores being: Arvada 10, Bennett 5; Arvada 17, Golden 11; Wheatridge forfeited; Arvada 29, Englewood 10. Tie with Littleton played off on Englewood’s floor, we being victorious; the final score 17 to 6. Played Brighton for the championship of the Suburban League. We were defeated by a small score, Brighton 16; Arvada 14. We played them on our own floor and won, the resulting score for Arvada was 17 and Brighton 16. This tied us again so we plaved them on a neutral floor, Wheatridge, and defeated them by a score of 19 to 14, making us Champions of the Suburban League. Page Thirty-three Boy’s Basketball 1921 The season of ’21 was very successful both from an athletic standpoint and also financially. Alt ho we were unable to bring home the cup. we won second place by a large majority; and we were defeated by the champions by a very small score. As a team, we wish to extend our sincere thanks to the people of our community for their kind support both at home and away from home, also we greatly appreciate the honest efforts of our coach, Mr. Raymond Cannon, to whom we owe a great deal of our success. Eight sweaters were awarded by the Athletic Association to the five first team men and three substitutes. Those receiving sweaters and letters were: Raymond Fox, Captain, Charlie Maloney, Hugo Abbott, Clifford Van Scyoc, Lee Headrick, Oscar Levine, Kenneth Townsley, Joe Goodlet. We finished the season with a percentage of eight out of ten games. The percentage of the champions was nine out of ten games. In closing the season we, who leave A. II. S., wish the succeeding team the best of luck and assure them of our hearty support at all times. Page Thirty-four MEMBERS OF THE BASEBAI.I. TEAM Baseball Athletic meeting called March 11, for the purpose of organizing baseball club and electing officers. Abbott chosen captain, and Maloney manager. Practice the following Monday March 14. Men chosen by Coach Duboff were: Abbott, catcher, Fox, pitch, Lloyd Headrick, first base, Clifford Van Scyoc, second base, Lee Headrick, short stop, Jack Flanigan, third base, Oscar Levine, right field, Edward Trout, center field, Joe Goodlett, left field, Maloney, Rogers, Eastman, and Townsley utility. We started the season successfully by beating North Denver in a practice game and by defeating Littleton in our first league game with the score of 22 to 7. The same teams which we played in basketball will constitute the baseball league and we expect some hard games before the season is over but are confident that there is a good chance for the championship. The grading of our new grounds is well under way and we expect to have a first class baseball diamond within a few weeks. We hope to see many of the members of this team playing professional baseball within a few years or better still to have them confine their talents to the success of the Arvada town team.

Thirty-six Junior High ALYS KERKLER PEARL BROWN Ode to Our Class To you, my classmates so happy and gay, I am asked to write a sonnet to-day. For eight long years we have been together, Rain or shine, in all kinds of weather. We have learned the rules of Arithmetic, “Taught to the tune of the hickory-stick.” Our teachers have been both large and small; Regardless of size, we have loved them all. We have been unruly at times, we know, But it takes all this to make us grow. In future years when we’re old and gray, And many of us are far away, We will think of the past, with many a sigh, And our thoughts will return to Arvada High.
