Like unto a perilous and ladened journey unto its Mecca is the pilgrimage for Knowledge. Four long twelve months have passed since our Elders, the Seniors left the sheltering caravansari to traverse the desert of Ignorance in search of the Oasis of the Brahmin. Mere they may draw deeply of the draughty blue from the midnight well of Learning, for the well at midnight reveals the all-knowing stars. Treacherous are sifting sand seas, false dawn proceeds the true; but goddess of the age-old stars is the guide of fearless Nomads, while nightly glows the digit of the moon. 2 Moment’s Halt—a momentary taste Of being from the well amid the waste— And Lo!—the phantom cavern has reached The Nothing it set out from— Oh make haste!” 3 Erma Sprague C.

Twas a great problem which presented itself before this group. Only the wisest of the wisest could solve and find a remedy for this most difficult problem —that of the curiosity of certain members of the tribe. Now this problem presented two questions to the council; first. What is curiosity? and, second. How may it be cured? Of course is was a simple matter to solve the first problem. Curiosity merely was that inborn desire to know what we wish to know before it is time to know what it is our pleasure to know. The Councilors, with the exception of one found no difficulty in defining that. But the second question. How may curiosity be cured? Now under this question it was decided that the offender should be compelled to tell the offended what he wished to know. But verily, I say unto you ’tis not always possible to do thusly”. Why, all the Saints and Sages who discussed Of two Worlds so wisely they are thrust I.ike foolish prophets forth; their Words, to Scorn Are scatter’d and their Mouths are stopped with Dust”. 6 May me Ross A John Bachcr T was the moon of the lotus, melody quivered in the silver air. Cried Raja Ifil Bacher to Loree the Caliph, “Would that we two. high jjotentates though we be, might vibrate with tintinabulation!” Illustrating his vibrating idea, so to speak, by alternate rise and fall of the arm. “So be it,” said the Caliph solemnly. So, it came to pass in the blue of the moon, that the Caliph’s exclusive circle scattered. Out of regard for the royal family, they had politely withdrawn, one should say; for royalty had taken to vibrating with deafening zeal. Even the feminine high of the court caught the fancy with notable diligence. One fair lady became Madame Blanchay Guntri’ and supplied the delightful basso accompaniment for the Rajah’s rendering of the Checkel, a kind of Arabian bag-pipe. It so happened that the Maiden May Belle and the fair Mavme had often shared the same musical bench; so what more natural than that the lilting voice of the latter should melt with the flutey notes of the first named maiden’s reed. Their harmony wafts from the Garden of Allah, as the scented dew of the moon-lotus. But for the Caliph Ix rce naught was fitting but the golden harp. Blanche Gunther Mabel Russell 7 Abby West NCE upon a time there dwelt in the land of the Arabs three maidens who sought knowledge and adventure. One spring morn they left their native farmlands and made a pilgrimage unto the seat of knowledge. “Where,” they asked, “will we find the wisest man in the kingdom of Arvada ?” Allow me, oh gentle maidens, to be thy guide,” volunteered a youth with a radiant face, “for I am the son of the moon.” Gladly did the girls receive his offer of assistance, and for four long, weary yet interesting years they traveled along the Halls of learning, the Desert of Ignorance, and the Oases of Wisdom. With almost every step they paused, momentarily to search for the wisest man in the kingdom. Yet, when they found a man who was wisest in the land of Mathematics, he was but a dullard in the kingdom of English. They thought their long and weary travels were in vain. So the damsels Abbie, Carrie, and Rubye were ready to return to their homelands when, I.o, the great Caliph Hooker, announced that of all who took the test of Wisdom and Intelligence, one had far exceeded all the rest. And Lo! the name of one of their own number. Sir Howard Nelson, led all the rest. 8 Carrie Writ Seniors Robert Graves Elizabeth Poster IONG ago a group of travelers set out to cross the ever shifting sands of the (treat Desert. Before them, behind them, and on either side of them stretched the same, dun-colored sand. At last, after many days and nights of traveling, she who was known as Elizabeth, tiring of the ever-sameness of the wide expanse of sand, spoke unto her campanions, Oh ye chosen few of Allah. Hearken unto me. In one corner of my pack is a leathern case, made for the carrying of water or wines. I Ct us fill it with air and use it as a ball.” And it was thus. At last one night as they rested from their wanderings, he who was called Bud drew upon the sands with his staff. And with shouts of joy the travelers ran, jumped, and otherwise made merry in the court thus formed. Thus for many nights they frolicked, until at last the two makers of the game tired. But still Robert and the two sisters Alys and Jennie played. At last only the two were left, but they ever played on, until their fame spread throughout the land. And so it is today. 9 Edward Berryman George Underwood 5OW it so happened that, an earthquake having destroyed their beautiful city, it became necessary for George and Virginia, in company with the noble Buster and the inseparable Violet and Margaret, to set forth for a new land. And as their destination they chose the Garden of Allah. George and V irginia, wandered on ahead, and it fell to Bus to entertain the other fair damsels. And it came to pass that, in crossing the desert, they came to a spot on which grew many and varied types of the low and thorny cactus. Our hero Bus, following the example of the ancient .Sir Walter Raleigh, removed his flowing robe on which was blazoned a flaming A, and spreading it over the thorny way he cried, “Step on ’er, kids.” And even in the middle of the journey such as this, it seems, we find our bits of romance. For it is said that George quoted the worthy Khay yam to Virginia; A book of verses underneath a bough. Some H20, a loaf of bread, and thou Jazzing within the wilderness, Oh Wilderness were Paradise enow. Violet Graves 10 VEN in the long, long Oh! very long ago the elders of the tribe criticized the corruptions of youth. Oh! yes, the vices were many. There was not much indifference to the worth while things of life, why even Paul disregarded the worthwhileness of familiarity with the 90 degree angle and that circle with 340 degrees or was it 360 degreesV Oh well, what matters thatV Oh ’tis true he was a jocund youth but he was not the only one. Willard quite agreed with him, only Willard tho'f that the circle, in fact he was quite aware that the circle had 360 degrees. By Allah, why shouldn’t he, he had helj ed to make that rule. O so very, very benignant were Isabelle, and Jessie, and Elizabeth. Life was really so simple, so interesting and so complete. Yes, Allah supplied all things for that Simple life. Just a simple faith and simple morning prayer, kept that forbearing god Osinis from life forever. 11 Paul Rowe Merle Goodlett OW it came to pass that among the members ot the Caravan there were those who said little but did great deeds. According to the custom ot those times the man who hid his light under a bushel, found it undimmed by frequent contact with scoffers and unbelievers. However one night there came to the riders of the Caravan the news that great hordes of enemies were to swoop down ujx n them. Consternation was felt by all. Even the leaders of the tribe believed the caravan doomed. Then up spoke Bernice, the Spokesman of a quiet, yet helpful group. “Go Merle and thou, William and quickly unload the meanest of the beasts of burden. You must then cover the rest of the beasts with the sheets of dun-colored cloth and let the enemy pass on.” Then with the jxxirest camels leading the enemy in the wrong direction and the real caravan hidden by the dun-colored cloth, once more the meek saved their people. Bernice Wick Loi� Edward William Burgett 12 Bernice Tiller Vaughn Edwards Irene Martelon IERE was once, of the mighty soverignty of Bishma, in the reign of the bold but evil Duryodhana, a very noble man, sworn brother to Duryodhana of the name of Padwa. Now the noble Padwa had five sons, three of whom were daughters. These five Pan-davans, so-called since their father was a Padwa. are the heroes of the tale. Now it so happened that the sons of Duryodhana were called the Kauravans were pledged to share the realm with their Pandavan cousins. But there were one hundred Kauravans and five Pandavans. So the wicked Kauravans deemed with confidence that the kingdom need never trouble to know that Pandavans had existed. The Kauravans would save the kingdom that trouble and see to it that the Pandavans non-existed. It was a great war, this battle between the rival descendants of the mighty king and ancient sage the Bishma. Of the Kauravans there numbered a hundred fold while pitted against them were the Pandavans. five strong, Yudhisshthira, eldest of Padwa, symbol of joy and perfect manhood, life in its flowering Kern, Bhima (Brown if translated) a kindly, loyal hearted giant of strength but deeply puzzling, intriguing one might say.

And what were a hundred to Vaughn Arjuita, ) erfect warrior, master of every weapon, who from his chariot would fight a thousand foes at oner? Of course our heroes won and according to the ancient custom, all married the same beautiful lady. Princess Draupadi, who followed their wanderings, great and manifold as they traverse the world who heroes that they are, seek Death fearlessly and all live immortally thereafter. Arnold Brown 13 Lester Witt Pott Graduate HE beautiful Princess Amy was one day sitting in her Japanese garden, while her handmaiden F.li7abeth wove cherry blossoms into her hair. Ever and anon her eyes wandered toward the spot where her gardner, who was not only a wizard with land, hut was also known as a Witt or called “Witty” was carefully setting out a new shrub, known as the Tree of Happiness. And as she sat and watched, she heard approaching the garden, from outside the wall, the footsteps of strangers. And in a moment she heard voices, low and musical they were, and full of mystic beauty. And then there entered the court, two maidens alike in stature and raiment. “What seek ye here? she questioned. And in reply the one who bore the name of Helen upon the hem of her garment spake:— Oh good and noble Princess, we bring to you a flower so rare that kings have sought for it in vain. So rare that men have lived and died while seeking it. As yet it is but a bud. and if it be treasured well, it will impart to all who look upon it, it s secret. And how did you obtain it ?” begged the Princess. “It is said that only those possessed of rare beauty may guard it, replied the spokesman. “And it was given to my sister to keep.” “And may we see it?” At the words the beautiful damsel who thus far had held her peace drew from the sleeve of her gown a tiny box, from which a wonderfully sweet perfume was wafted. “It is—” began the Princess. The maiden opened the casket, revealing a rose of wondrous beauty. The blossom of Wisdom, for which these twelve years you have sought, she finished. And thos? of the palace looked, and were content.

Said Robinson—“Ah, the effervescence of this land, it thrills the soul. When one is sad and lone at heart what more beautiful than to gaze at the rosy and silver sunset, wherein purple clouds do float in dreamy spaces. One never knows in this land of Never-None what the day may bring forth of delights not known, but delight forsooth it verily will be, in the land of Never-None. What more lovely than the crimson of the setting sun, the gold of far off horizons, the dreamy violet of the liquid dust, the plumes of waving palms silhoutted against the mobile, sun-bathed hills? Lovely the ves|� er songs of the plumaged birds, soft plash of falling waters while the incense of the opening moon flowers drifts silverh through the verdant foliage of encircling banyan! Ah, the world’s paradise found at last, this Eden of Never-None !” “He’d make a good realtor,” said Bill Teller. “Verily, verily,” sighed the oracle of Pierce’s cavern.

Vaughn, guilty of instigating irrepressible m i r t h wherever he goes, has been condemned on this awe-inspiring occasion, to ride the Donkey’s ears, which he does with agility —and backwardness. 16 (Dj G r t ?kI$b V r (j Go JBe nHE Rajah sighed and stirred among his silken cushions. Now that the time had approached for the opening of his treasure chest, he felt a bit concerned, fearing that his gifts would not be fully appreciated by his unworthy subjects. But he was growing old and knew well that soon he would leave this land on __________ a lone pilgrimage to the Land of Eternity. But he conquered his fears and summoning a slave to him, he said, Go, slave, and bring up from the secret vault, my treasure chest. Let not the Stones of Hesitation cause delay in thy return, lest the wrath of Allah, the Most High, descend upon my unworthy servant.” Straightway the servant sped away and soon returned bearing in his arms a casket of hand-wrought gold. He salaamed, saying, Most worthy master, the chest lies before thee. Then spake the Rajah: “Go, then, and bring to me all those in- significant persons who dwell in these realms below this ('astle of Commencement. Bid them come at once, for the day has come for the distribution of the prizes of the treasure chest. Hasten, slave, and let the delivering of your message be swift, even as the flight of the swallow.” Even so shall it be, master,” and salaaming again, he departed. Soon came throngs of people to the Castle of Commencement. They entered the Throne-room of the Rajah and, kneeling low, said, “Master, thy will has been done.” The Rajah then commanded that the chest be opened. When this was done, he rose and in his commanding voice said to the assembled multitude: “My people, the sands of the desert hold many secrets, even many treasures, but none so precious and valuable as the treasure stored by the class of ’25. Many things of wondrous worth are here interred and now the time comes when 1 must bequeath these valuable possessions to those most suited to receive them. To the tribe of Juniors assembled, he said I bequeath the histrionic financial and intellectual ability of the class of ’25. Come forth, Shiek Ver-nan, and receive this jewel for thy people. The Sheik stepped forward and received the blazing insignia. Then, spake on the Rajah, this small vial, containing the essence of that vital liquid Catchup is destined, yea, destined by the stars which shine above lighting the I'allace of Allah, for one of your number, one Marion Sweet Sir, so that he may attain the high standards set by the Senior Class. Come forward, ye lowly one. Bring the reluctant one hither, Slave! Now,” said the Rajah, his voice growing ominous, this hit of parchment which in some other incarnation represented Andrew Hale’s membership in the Ananias Club, I bequeath to him who needs it most—one (Jerald Mauck. Then this precious gem of Wit we leave to Marv Kiminett. Let her remember that this was formerly the prized jewel in tiie crown of Edna Jump. And this, ah, this contains the natural marcel which once adorned the locks of Lillian Reran and which we now present to Clyde Stevenson.” Behold!” continued the Serene Master, holding in his hand a bit of strong manila hemp, “I bequeath Mable Jones’ Roepnack to Ruth Jordan. And to Clarence Smith, I leave this charm, an elusive one to be sure, but one to which Vaughn Edwards attributes his stupendous success as a stage 1 “'1'hy past is written in the desert sand Thy future in thy hand” lover. Hither, worm, and take thy justly given charm. Ah, Vincent, here is that which is intended for you, come and receive that gift which will enable you to exert an influence over the fair damsels in thy tribe even as great as that of Floyd Moon. This, oh fair Angeline, is a package tied fast, containing the speed of Robert Graves—but remember, this is good only when used on that unconquerable instrument which Memsahib Ham-bly guards behind the glass doors of the Commercial Cavern. Now to anyone who has the requisite nerve to use it Dorothy Purse leaves her gun for expelling hydrogen and oxygen. If there be any such among you let him come forward.” ‘'Ah” cried the Rajah, “above all I see the head of Clifford Smith. Let him come to me, for it is written that he alone shall receive this weapon, for he has attained unknown heights. To all the fair damsels of the tribe of Junior, this tiny urn inscribed with cryptic letters, is given for they shall be Keepers of J. U. G. Nothing more remains in the chest of ’2S for the Juniors, bur for those of the tribe of Sophomore there are gifts. This one, intended for Celia Reed, contains the tangled tresses of Elizabeth Cole, for it is written that to him who uses well that which he hath, much more shall be added even until he shall have more that) he needeth. So sayeth Allah. ITiis, Leonard Smith's attachment for the school, we leave to Fred Stone and this small package containing the perfect attendance of Loree Somers is left for Raymond Stockham. This small box which contains that attribute truth, which when crushed to earth will rise again, William Robinson gives, with brotherly love, to young Richard. John Bacher bequeathes his gift of being able to write his own excuses to Orville Carlisle. Elizabeth Dreier leaves her scholaristic record to be divided between the Waddell twins. “Now, said the Rajah, the chest is emptied and my duty has been fulfilled. Slave, bid the tribes depart. It is my will. When the crowd had gone and the slave returned the Rajah sighed wearily for he felt his life had been long and full of many hardships. He said to the slave, Place the cover on the ca'ket and bear it away. And even as the slave obeyed, a terrible storm arose and as the elements battled one with the other, the Rajah, sinking lower in his silken cushions, smiled inscrutably for he knew his life would soon be over. The battle of the winds and storm raged more fiercely and reached its heights in a crash which rocked the land. Darkness prevailed the earth. Silence ruled supreme. Innumerable sands crept thru the hour glass. When at last the storm abated, the terror stricken slave entered the room of the Rajah, the faint rays of light which penetrated the priceless tapestries which adorned the room gave evidence that the soul of the Rajah had at last set off on its lone pilgrimage to the Land of Eternity. Time was, but shall be no more, when this faithful servant of the Most High Allah may protect and guide his people on their perilous journey to Commencement. Farewell most noble soul! Farewell, ye class of '25. May the peace of Allah abide with you. 7 C. II. 18 C h Jon{o j, came to pass that there dwelt in the land f the Juniorians a tribe who wished to do wondrous things. I-ong nights and weary lays did they spend endeavoring to do deeds worthy of recognition. Always, however, the act committed seemed to them to be ordinary and not worthy of mention. Small groups would entertain the various tribes of the district, or several of their number would lead the tribe in battle. Many of the choicest examples of manhood had given their lives that their Clan might be renowned. Many and many were the times that the wisest or strongest or most beautiful in all the land of the Orient had been selected from them. Yet never had any one act seemed to them to be worthy of such a tribe of true believers. Now within each one of the Juniorians there burned a tiny spark of genius, which was known as the Flame of Life. Each Junior was permitted by the Spirits of Light to use the Flame but once and then he must give up (Dajj °J 19 his life. Life was so precious, and the Flame held so sacred that it was held sacreligious to speak lightly of it. Now, one day the Spirits of Evil spread their robes of Blackness over the land, and every effort to pierce the veil was of no avail. From nearby tribes came the wails of children and the agonized prayers of the men and women who wrere helpless and without Light. In the camp of the Juniorians, consternation reigned for some time. Suddenly their leader drew from his breast the tiny torch of Life. Without one word each tribesman unhesitatingly gave his Flame. The heavens above and the earth below were lighted as never before. When the Evil Spirits had withdrawn into the innermost recesses of the Earth, the Spirits of Light appeared in the camp of the Sleeping Juniorians and said: “For three moons shalt thou sleep, oh worthy Juniorians. At the end of that time wilt thou return to Life, to be known henceforth as Seniorians or those who have accomplished great deeds.” 19 Thelma Mollctt Mary Hurst Stanley Hogan Vernon Smith Doris Wilson Edwin Sherer Marry Kimmett Harry Grace Elsie Martelon Angeline Dcgcnhart Clarence Smith | % Charlotte Teller Elaine Dalke 20 Helen Baker Robert Hastings Maxine Lower Evelyn Morris 21 Wymond Ehrenkrook Marguerite Gotchell William Mutter t Evelyn McDowell 22 John Rambox Olive Hogan CLASS OFFICERS Waino Keikonek ............................President Katherine Newton......................Vice President Vera Townsley..............................Secretary Erma Spraoub and C.

One of the persons whom he taught was a scholar named Sophomore Class. Sophomore Class was ten years of age when this professor came to teach. After a few days had passed, Sophomore Class told his friends that he was going on a journey. Where are you going they all asked. “I am going to the ogre’s island to capture the treasure they have there. So please pack my bag with kind words and deeds as I must start at once. Sophomore Class’s friends did all they could to help him and in a short time everything was ready. He took leave of all of his friends and started off amid their cheering. Now Sophomore Class met many people on his journey and of course they asked him where he was going. He gave each one of them either a kind word or a kind deed and soon he had many followers. The ogres’ island was a place where all the ogres lived. They kept all the treasures guarded. They lived in a castle on an island which had a very rocky shore. This served as a protection for them. After many, many days. Sophomore Class and his followers reached the island and landed safely. They marched upon the castle in a body and broke down the barred door. The first ogre with whom Sophomore Class had to battle was Selfishness. There was a fierce struggle but in the end Sophomore Class won, and Selfishness gave him the badge of Unselfishness. This was one of the treasures. There were many other ogres in the castle, such as Laziness, Hatefulness, Criticism, Unkindness, Cruelty, Haughtiness, and all the others. Sophomore Class fought and defeated all of them. After each was defeated, the vanquished one gave Sophomore Class a badge. Some of them were: Work, Kindness, Ix ve, Wisdom and Humility. Sophomore Class then returned to his home. SI --- S 27 OFFICERS Orvillf.

And as they traveled, there was seen all about them a cloud the color of the darkest evergreen. One day they saw ahead of them a huge sand dune, higher and wider than any yet traversed. But when they reached its crest, they saw written upon its shifting surface the words “Half-way Place.” With a sigh they started on and those who turned and looked saw that their guardian cloud was now the color of the first blades of grass to show their heads in the spring. Finally they saw ahead of them that which they sought. Palm trees rose many feet in the air, while a cool spring bubbled forth and its waters ran onto the desert sands and disapj eared. But even as they ran to drink, the cooling waters disappeared and again desert stretched on every hand. After travel more heart-breaking than ever before, they again beheld the oasis of their dreams. But fearing another mirage, they stood undecided. At last one of their number bolder than the rest, advanced hesitantly. It was real. And as they hastened to drink of the cooling waters, the cloud of green arose and disappeared among the waving tops of the palm trees.

Very, very serious consultations were held and, in the absence of Madame Hurst, High Caliph Hooker and Associate High Caliph Wilson led those very, very serious consultations. Now during the somewhat long times between these most interesting times memory laxed. In order to care for this laxness it was ordered that there should lx created the office of Recording Scribe and on Mistress Hambly was conferred this honor. Likewise there was created the office of the Scribe of the Treasury with Madame Teller pre- siding there. Now as ’twas the pleasure of the assembly to partake of pleasant repast, Madame McFadden and Madame Burroughs were tho’t best able to oversee this position. It was also tho’t necessary to have a history of this assembly and Madame Burroughs was appointed historian. As well as discussing their “young charges” alone they discussed means of helping their young charges. Wherefore, there was created a Boys’ Ix an Fund entrusted to Madame Hutchings. Finally they thought that those whose pleasure it was not to join in these consultations should have a knowledge of their proceedings and there was appointed a person, Mistress Sprague, responsible for imparting this knowledge. Yes, it is admitted that they would have consulted more for the welfare of the younger members of the Caravan but these younger members required so much attention at the individual domiciles of the Caravan. . 32 William Teller DEBATING CLUB HE Debating team had occasion to show its skill in only two debates rhis year, one with Wheat ridge and one with Englewood, in both of which Arvada had the affirmative side of the State Debating League question—“Resolved That the II.

In the first four encounters two of which were with the savage Golden tribe, one with the uncivilized Englewood horde and one with a motley-crew from Littleton; the enemy was easily vanquished. Once more did Englewood and Littleton attack the Caravan. These times they were more successful. Finally our tribe met Englewood in savage battle for the Championship of the desert.

The Arvada tribe won skill and great renown in the great art of combat. Fair damsels cherred the bold knights who went forth to single combat. Misfortune met the tribe in loss of one of the leaders but soon good team work tried to make up for the loss. Twice did the brave Kajahs defeat each Golden, Wheat-ridge and Bear Creek. In the two combats with Littleton but once were our warriors victorious. Englewood was unusually fortunate taking both games.

Jessie Ehrenkrook gave much support to the team. At times it seemed as if she played the whole floor for all the team. Elizabeth Foster and Jennie O’Toole were splendid at returning the ball from a distance. No one could out class Alice Wilson for swiftness.

Soon after the founding of Denver the first piano was brought in, transported in a prairie schooner over tortuous miles and at the peril of life itself. The place music holds in life is well established—it stands fourth in our actual needs, being preceeded only by food, shelter and clothing. With this fact in mind one can readily understand why the world spends such a vast amount of money each year to satisfy the longing for music—for concerts, for operas for musical education and for permanent investment in musical instruments. The introduction of music into our public schools as a part of the course of study marks one of the greatest advances ever made in cultivating a love for this great art which opens to you all that is best and finest in life. The best thing we can hope for you is that you will grow to love good music, for it is a mold for character. 1536-40 stout st.
