“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 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

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. A Senior and B Happy (Attorneys) Pate Sixteen
