Nintf) tirade Query: Can anything be a frosh? Answer: Nothing-can. Ask Chuck if this isn’t true. One—Charles Meyers, the president of this Junior High Athletic Association, captain of football and baseball teams, also his opinion carries weight; in short, our “star” athlete, the Mars of a shining constellation, in other words, the fellow who is always there. Then we come to basketball—that is something in which we shine. Doris and Katherine are “shooting stars”, Dorothy Kammerer, “captain”, and Dorothy Shaklee are “guarding comets”. Frances and Bernice are the valued “central links”, while the indispensable assistant is Elsie Martelon. This real team, with the usual vim of Arvada, carried off victories in the two Wheatridge games. In the first game Doris proved her title of a shooting star. Katherine was heroine of the second game. Dorothy played splendidly in both games. Beth Graves and Lavonia Shepherd made subs on the High School team, the second team in Senior High (please note), as well. When we come to the boys we need hardly a description of their team. Their victories in this sport are already well known. Who hasn’t heard of the achievements of Fred and Jimmy, or of our dashing heroes, Leon and Chuck, who were ably assisted by “Ticks and Sub Earl Sivers. Football The gridiron has produced a full-baked fullback, two halfbacks not half-baked, but fully browned, and a quarterback, result—over two hundred per cent. (200%), consider the record of the whole squad! Is it not lightly spoken to say our aspirations are above par, even for Freshmen? Quarterback..............Me Andrews............Famous passer.

Those turning out this year went chasing diamonds (that is), a particular gem, “The Diamond . Rather “fresh” to the hunt, we discovered a number of valuable clues, for instance, we found “The Diamond” had four sides, and also four angles! Therefore it is best not to circle around, but to get the “points”. The boys, of course, grasped them at once—’nough said. As for the girls, the Freshmen showed the greatest interest in baseball. Dorothy Shaklee is already cut out for the “World’s Series.” We have ’em now, in ’23, Such stars excelled can never be. What won’t they be in '26, From bats and balls to dropping kicks? Our boosters, too, through all disasters, Will stick to them like mustard plasters. Our ivory heads are full of dreamy bubbles, but dreams come true, and “Ivory” has been known to float!

Class of ’27 Toiling onward through the rocks, Over the stubbly field, Trying to master our subjects, And gather their fruitful yield; Endeavoring, ever and ever, To gather a little sense, Sometimes we almost despair, Our craniums seem so dense. Yet plodding ever onward, Trying to keep in the race, Though we seem not to progress, It seems so swift a pace; Yet, “Labor omnia vincit”, We’ll win the goal at last, If we stick to work and study, Hail to our noble Class.
