History of tt)e Class of ’23 Once upon a time a great many years ago the forefathers of the town of Arvada, which is situated in the County of Jefferson and the State of Colorado, saw the great need of an institution of learning. The result was that a little brick schoolhouse was built. I cannot dwell on the early history of this small institution, however, more than to say that many of our fathers, mothers, uncles and aunts received their early education in this little red schoolhouse. It seemed to exist somehow or other during all those early years. It had merely a common-place existence and that was all. But there later came into its life a wonderful event which changed it completely and added glory and honor to its name. The event of which I speak happened twelve years ago (1911) on a bright September morning when a band of little urchins, some alone; others in company of their mothers, came to the little school. This marked the beginning of the Class of ’23. Some forty odd students were enrolled in the first grade of which the majority dropped out or moved away. Within the present thirty-nine, only ten remain of the original class that started in the first grade. The ten members are: Margaret Black, a very quiet lass. Mildred Christian, the fashionable flapper of the class. Esther Desch, who cannot be excelled in Secretarial work. Anne Jones, known as the cartoonist of the class. Dorothy Grable, the girl of energetic and mischievous disposition. Vivian Vetting, a quiet, unobtrusive girl, never very active in physical life of the class, but a profound thinker. Stella West, the well known prima donna of the A. H. S. Marian Newton, small but mighty in creating and carrying out worthy ideas. Rose Russell, who has a sweet, gentle voice, a thing ever admirable in any girl. Carl Hays, ever dependable, active, and willing to work for the best interests of the class and school. In the second grade the school year passed uneventfully except for the departure of a few members of the class. The third year the class gained a new member, Chandos Reid from Apex, Colorado, who believes in woman’s rights and who will run Susanne B. Anthony a close second. The fourth, fifth, and sixth years were uneventful ones also. No new members were taken in but a steady decrease in the former ones was evident. In the seventh year the stock of the class went up four points. The points Page Sixteen
