Foreword N this, our Hall of Fame, we have endeavored to present those who have achieved distinction throughout the year: and, in doing this, we have reviewed the events which have made the year a memorable one. This is only a corner of the world’s Great Hall of Fame, but it is our corner and is dear to us. The passing years may dim the memory of our school days, but this volume will make it impossible to forget entirely some very pleasant associations. a IEDICATION the Spirit of 1927 seems, has had a decided tone : well-being. To this tone there have contributed the outgoing seniors, our peers of 1927; the students as an entirety have had their part: the wise guidance of Superintendent Hooker and the co-operation of the faculty claim a part in accounting for it. To this spirit, then, and to its perpetuation in Arvada High School, we dedicate this book. 1 LLEWELLYN T. EVANS GROVER HOOKER ELLEN M. HAMBLY RUTH JOHNSTON DOROTHEA H. I.ANGER ANNA F.

Some were complacent, some fairly well reassured of their success, while others were frankly nervous of the ordeal. But, under the capable tutelage of Miss Anna Langer, their confidence increased, and they learned to enter a room without tripping over the carpet design or some other huge obstacle. The long-awaited day arrived and the members of the Class of'26 entered the judgment room and awaited the decision of Great Judge Hooker. After lengthy deliberation, the Judge spoke. These were his words: “One of the following qualifications must be filled if you would enter the Hall of Fame. Athletes, having done valiant service on the team, and added to Arvada's glory, may enter. Music—If you have contributed to the harmony of A. H. S. by your silvery efforts, enter. Debating—All those that have swayed crowds by your eloquence, go within and take a prominent place. Dramatics—Those who have emulated Booth and Bernhardt are eligible.” And so down the list, different reasons for entering the Hall of Fame were given. Last, but not least, the person who never talked or whispered in Assembly was admitted with high honors. Page Seven Robert a H. Beckett Every Girls Club. Nadine Carlisle Westport High School, K.

OATH OF THE YOIWU MEN OF ATHENS “We will never bring disgrace to this our city by any act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our suffering comrades in the ranks. “We will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with many; we will revere and obey the city laws and do our best to incite a like respect and reverence in those above us who are prone to annul or to set them at naught; we will strive unceasingly to quicken the public’s sense of civic duty. “Thus in all these ways we will transmit this city not only not less but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.” Page Twelve JUNIORS Gussie F.

A., has c“ra ’'ete very successful year. They have participated in all the conferences parties and_ programs sponsored by the Denver headquarters. At the annual vaudeville show gi'en 'j1 the BastP Denver auditorium, the Arvada girls presented a one act pantomime, entitled. • When the Ump Went Out.” They were awarded the prize for the best act. Miss Anna l-anger is in charge of the organization. The girls were represented in the conference at Fort Collins and the delegates came back with many new and novel ideas for future G. R. work.

Anderson, The Biology Club wax organized by Mr. Evans at tin- beginning of the year. Elizabeth Howard was elected president and Idalia Lovelace secretary-treasurer. The purpose of the club: to increase interest in subjects pertaining to biology. Meetings were held each week, at which some biological subject was discussed. These discussions proved to he very interesting and educational. Several trips were made by the members to the observatory at Denver 1 niversity. Mr. Evans and Mr. Alfred Bailey of the State Museum have delivered lectures illustrated hv stereopticon slides. Miss Ruth Johnston is one of the sponsors of this group. CONGRESS OF PARENTS AND TEACHERS Deserving of a prominent place in our Hall of Fame is the C. P. T. Organized several years ago, it functions to bring about co-operation between home and school, and to guide patrons in their service to the school. When the school needs something not provided in the regular funds, it is to the 0. P. T. that the teachers turn. The organization opened the year with a welcome to the teachers, helped entertain the county association, and provided one of the outstanding social events of the year in their annual dinner dance.

Page Thirty The Student governing body, or Student Council, is composed of nine of the students of the High School. Mr. C. B. Ray bourn is the sponsor of the organization. Clarence Smith is President of the Student body and the Council, and Helen Baker is secretary and treasurer. The Seniors who are members of the Council are Clarence Smith. Helen Baker and Clyde Stephenson. The Junior members are Jean Edwards and Beatrice Fletcher. The Sophomore class is represented by Orville Carlisle and the Freshman class by Kenneth Robinson. Elizabeth Graham is the eighth-grade representative, and John Strickland represents the seventh grade. The Council acts as an advisory board in helping solve tlje problems of the school. Their suggestions are submitted to the Faculty by Mr. Ray bourn, where they are discussed and improved upon and then returned to the Council. During the school year the Council arranged the Social Hours, conducted the Lost and Found department, and took charge of admitting the students who wished to study at school in the morning. THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA This aggregation of musicians fiddled and tooted their way into our honored ranks through their frequent appearances in assembly and in public functions. Directed by Mr. King, they developed into a capable group of musicians, and their concord of sweet sounds has proved very acceptable to their hearers. They assisted in the Feast of Carols furnished the music at the Junior play, and played at the annual spring concert of the two glee clubs. Members of the orchestra formed the Syncopating Five to create the jazz and rhythm for school dances and other functions. The orchestra is composed of the following: VIOLINS: Olive Hogan Marguerite Gatchell I ouisa Anderson Dulcina Stott CORNETS: Robert Hastings Stand ley Hogan Clyde Stephenson SAXOPHONES: Jean Edwards Robert Hurst Howard Ross Harold Lobb CLARINET: Beth Hogan PIANO: DRUM: Mary Kimmett Charles Slusher Lillian Leichnitz Page Thirty-one Our studious assemblage gathers in room 14 for the purpose of studying English. For a time, everything goes well. We recite our lesson, receive our hundreds or “goose eggs,” and then turn our attention to the much-loved, supervised study. However, our attention does not remain there for long, for we soon lay our books aside and wonder how soon the bell will ring. Then we shoot a “spit wad or two, get a first-class lecture for doing so. and ponder over the question again. About this time we try to imagine what an enormous breakfast our teacher must have eaten before coming to school, but find it impossible to stretch our imaginations to that extent. She sits quietly at her desk as if she had just eaten a large meal and did not care to bother with another soon. After waiting for some time, the street car whistle is heard. That means that the bell will ring in about twenty seconds. Books are stacked on the side of the desk nearest the door, and feet are thrust out into the aisle. If actions have anything to do with it we have been dismissed, but a shrill voice reminds us that we are not, bv saying, “ Xow, people, if I have not given you enough work to keep you busy. I can give you some more.” Of course she has given us enough, and always does, for that matter. Hunger is what drives us to such desperate deeds. It is not this common, everyday hunger, either. Its starvation hunger. For my part. I feel that the janitor has fallen asleep, and would not be afraid to bet my last penny that “teacher” feels the same way but hates to admit it. However, a sharp clang puts an end to all of my fears. Everyone rushes madly toward the door, and if legs an not broken it certainly is not our fault. —J. S.

So the Seniors gave a party And the Juniors gave a Prom, And added Social Hours To make this old world hum. We viewed the decorations And we criticized the food, And came to the conclusion That as hosts they’re pretty good. So please reserve a corner In this marv’lous Hall of Fame For most unusual candidates— Those who can entertain.

These dates signify the presentation of the Senior class play. “ itsbands on Approval.” The characters were all portrayed in a very pleasing manner.

Much of the comedy was furnished by Eleanor Da Ike as the Hengllsh maid. CAST—Sally Parker. Eunice Roberts; Krome. Oliver Wuetig; Jimmy. Gussle Anderson; Mrs George B. Nettleton.

ROBERT HASTINGS A committee of faculty and students selected Robert Hastings for the honor of best all-around man in the Class of 1926. Scholarship and all student activities were weighed in selecting these students, thus proclaimed the most valuable citizens of the High School. Page Thirty-seven OLIVE HOGAN The committee selected Olive Hogan as the best all-around girl in the Senior Class. She ranks well in scholarship and has a number of successful activities to her credit. Page Thirty-eight ATHLETICS Many have sought entrance to the Hall of Fame through the medium of athletics; only a few have succeeded in meeting the requirements imposed upon them by Coach Vanderhoof and the “fans.” Early in the fall many candidates appeared in football suits to demonstrate their ability to the public. They were tried and tested and passed through many ordeals before the worthy ones were allowed to enter. At home and abroad they met their foes valiantly, and those who survived rank with the immortals. Again the doors opened and admitted some whose fame will live forever because of their accomplishments in basketball. Not only did individuals enter the Hall of Fame, but Arvada High School attained a prominent place by winning the championship of the Suburban League and then tying for third place in the Stale Championship. Baseball excited much enthusiasm this year. A full program in the spring resulted in the admittance of many new members. A bat and glove occupy a conspicuous corner in the Hall. Fairer or more famous athletes can not be found than those submitted by Miss Humbly. The girls showed great ability in volleyball and brought home the championship. No greater proof of worth can be had. To add charm to our great and illustrious Hall we add the members of the Girls’ Basketball Team. They met many strong teams, but none could surpass them for long. The Suburban League Championship was a tie.

The water has been shut ofY before the bell rings and many students go So the I Vople May Know The Flamebuilder believes that the worthy citizens of the prosperous town of Off Center should be Informed of the scandalous happenings at the disreputable High School which is supported by the peace-loving citizens of this j large city. The problem confronting our beloved patrons at the present time has to deal with the habit of passing notes, which Is practiced bv the majority of the students. This custom is rapldlv undermining the characters of the students, and Is casting a shadow over the reputation of our loyal supporters. High School Professor Held for Investigation MUTILATED BODY FOUND IN LABORATORY; HEAD SEVERED AND CUT TO BITS One of the foulest deeds of the history of the town was brought to light recently, when it was discovered that a certain professor of the high school had, in utter secrecy, abducte I a charming female, and after drugging her heavily, had gouged her helpless form until the last breath of life had departed. She was a light gray in color, thus proving attractive through her variance from form. One or two spots marred her silken skin, but these were not so conspiciously placed as to be noticed by the causal passer-by. Her disappearance was a matter of great regret, and when heavy advertising In the Flame Builder failed to locate her. hope was given up. The first clue to the mystery was unearthed by Professor Raybourne, who discovered that the quantity of chloroform in the laboratory bottle was decidedly diminished. Mr. Evans, the General Science instructor of the school, registered dismay at the discovery, and claimed to know nothing of the source of decrease. Miss Anna linger noticed a heavy clinging odor of chloroform hanging about his coat when she brought him to school Wednesday morning, and it was but a matter of time until thirsty for one hour. In this way they do not net their full supply of water and therefore they cannot blow olT so much steam on subjects other than Biology. A _ . .� _ This swindle has been investigated by the chief drinker. Mary Underwood, and she finds only one way out: , , , Miss Underwood’s plan is that the drinkers should rush into the laboratory, grasp a test tube, run to the faucets, turn on the clear, cool, sparkling liquid, drink their fill, and then fall dead of exhaustion. By this plan, which was revealed Monday. Thief Tinier wood would be able to have the drinking fountain all to herself. No mob would be present and she could drink in peace, not in pieces. I ligli School Student Lost in Boulder BLINDNESS OF LOVE GIVEN AS CAUSE. Everybody who goes away to conventions has thrilling experiences. The following is an example of such an occurrence. At the Boulder Press Club Convention, the Arvada delegates, accompanied by a handsome voting gentleman from sunrise. Wyoming, despaired of finding the place of the evening lecture. After a hurried consultation, the handsome shiek and the beautiful Mary Underwood decided to go to the moving picture theater in town. Everything went well until the movies were over and the couple were on their way home. To their dismay they discovered that they had been so enraptured over each other that they had taken the wrong street. There was nothing to do but to retrace their steps and start over again. When they finally reached the Queen's palace, they discovered that the housekeeper had locked the doors. Then followed the frantic-beats on the door in an attempt to awaken the house. At last the desired result was obtained. but the housekeeper was very wrathful because she had been awakened from her peaceful slumbers. However, Mary has a supernatural power of persuasion and finally convinced the irate woman that she was innocent, and the housekeeper again admitted her. MORAL: Watch where you are going and you won't get lost. We know and we are sure that you will agree i with us. that this disgusting practice is due to poor management on the part of the school officials. There is no discipline in our academy, and the scholars may pass notes to whom they please. Dates are made, promises broken, and feuds started. Brethren and Sistern. whither are we drifting? Cupid Causes Holdup ABBIE’S ALIBIS FUTILE. “Better late than never.” seems to be the motto of Abide Ambrose. At least, so it appeared at the Golden basketball game. Miss llambly stood on the sidelines and fairly wept, while the members of the boys’ team consoled her by dolefully singing, “Where is my wandering girl tonight?” _. Miss Ambrose was lost in transit, or. should we say. In the Stevens car which was suppose to transport her from home to the Golden gvm. Whether fiat tires, lack of gasoline, or overmuch brotherly affection from the me� t-market shiek caused the delay, we are unable to ascertain. The game began, but no Abide. Five minutes —quarter—half—and still no Abide. Avada rooters were frantic. The sky darkened for our would-be champions, but at last it brightened when—lo!—Abbie strolled In at the beginning of the second half, in time to save the day. Since the regrettable incident. Abbie has shown unusual promptness at all times, and we are inclined to agree with Mr. Hooker, or whoever the wise man was. who said. “There’s nothing so bad but tiiere's some good in It.” TESTIMONIAL Dear Sirs: Before the Basketball Tournament at Fort Collins, I could hardly run a step, but after taking 11.114 of your famous Chicken Pills (two pills and you lay) I was able to fall down the stairs of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house with utmost ease.

Idjutoreels GUM CHEWERS Three hundred and ninety-nine out of the select four hundred attending Off-Center High School are gum chewers. This is an outstanding, invincible fact. No one can deny it. It seems preposterous that there is one exception, Robert Hastings. This fact is the one tragedy that mars the happy life of the Seniors. During the election of the President of the Student Council, Robert Hastings and Clarence Smith, the opposing candidate, each gave a speech in Assembly stating the planks of his platform. Clarence Smith’s motto was More gum chewers.” He also promised the Gum Chewers’ Union that he w’ould have a new. cheaper, self-parking, chewable gum made. Mr. Hastings’ motto was Down with Gum! He was an Anti-Gum man. He chewed no man's gum. He was 99.44% for the people, but his platform could not be floated. The students, led on by Smith’s glittering words, elected him to the coveted presidency. Rut alas for their bright hopes, for they were soon dashed to the ground. Smith's gum fal’ed to hold his promises together, ami as a result, the blackboards of Room 4 are acquiring an unusual degree of brilliancy, due to the bigger, better, dally dozens performed upon them by the disillusioned gum chewers.

While there she frustrates a plan to rob the National Bank. She receives several notes warning her that the robbers will be avenged. One morning, while going to work, a large limousine skids up to the curb and two men seize her. The car goes rocking down the street at a terrific speed. The villians bind and gag her to keep her from screaming, then toss her roughly into the back seat. CHAPTER V—S. O. S. “What'll we do with her—?’’ the name was mumbled so low that she could not hear it. “We’ll burn her alive. I know a swell place You know that house where we are boarding? Well—She did not hear the rest because the car hit a bump and the confusion drowned the words. The car sped on and on, stopping only for gas and water. About noon Kitten saw a town, and half an hour later they stopped at a dilapidated house. Two exciting days passed.

Alberta Romans. investigation the ambitious young man found that a Mr. Hooker, a resident of Denver, was the owner of a Rolls Royce. He went to the house and inquired for the person and was informed that he was very busy. The reporter did not heed this announcement. He pushed aside the butler and rushed in. There were two men in the room—Hooker and a man who called himself Ray bourne. “Mr. Hooker,” the reporter said, “are you married?” “No.” “Well, what is that hat doing there?” and he pointed to a brown hat lying on a table. -Why—er—a—oh yes! That was here when we moved in. Oh. 1 see. Now to get down to business. Mr. Hooker, Katherine Newton has disappeared and she has been traced to this house. I’m here to find out about her. and do you mind if I look—” “Get out and stay out!” With this Mr. Hooker seized Leon and threw him through the window. t But our hero was undaunted and waited behind a deserted building until Hooker and Ray bourne left the house. He returned to the abode and tried t � open the door with a skeleton key but it was too large. He ran to a nearby store and soon came back with a file and a candle. Lighting the candle, he held the key over it till it became black. Once more he tried it in the door but again was unsuccessful. He withdrew It and noted where the lock had rubbed the black from the key. Then he filed it smaller and tried again. After several attempts he succeeded in entering the room. He looked around the room and saw at one end a fire place, freshly painted, with a strip of paper pasted over it so one could not see into it. He was al out to tear the paper off when he heard footsteps coming up a side stairway. He put out the light, locked the door and hid himself in an old closet Soon Hooker and Rayboume appeared. They unlocked the door and entered. Then the reporter heard: “Wonder If that guy that was here this morning got wise to that girl?” “Shut up. not so loud. Come here.” The reporter heard whispering and crept to the door. Suddenly it was flung open and he looked into the face of Rayboume, who was wearing a vicious expression and a straw hat. He looked beyond him and saw that the paper on the fire place had been cut off and there he saw something that made his blood run cold. To be continued in our next issue. PARABLE ON BOVS Verily in this day and generation the father raiseth up his son on the streets and sidewalks. He layeth around the soda fount and imbibeth slop and hookworms. He groweth in knowledge of nothing save cigarettes and profane words. When he attaineth the age of fourteen he acquireth a suit of clothes draped at the bottom two turlongs about his feet. He displayeth a pair of noisy socks with purple background and violets to the front. He weareth low cut tan shoes, also a green tie. He looketh like a banana merchant on the streets of Cairo. The inside of his head resembleth the inside of a pumpkin. He falleth in love with a spindle-shanked girl with bobbed hair and craveth for an automobile that he may ride her forth in spring time. He scattereth his pin money like a cyclone scattereth a rail fence. He sitteth up all night to write poetry and giveth no thought to the multiplication table. His mind turneth to vanities of life, and not to the highest cost of cornbread. Verily he needeth a board applied to the southwest corner of his anatomy. He thiuketh his father a plodder and his mother a back number. He pictureth to himself great riches suddenly acquired. He dreameth of steam yachts and private cars. Yes, he thinketh himself the real stuff. He butteth in where he is not wanted. He criticiseth his elders. He purchaseth cheap perfume and smelleth louder than a billy goat. Wrhen he groweth up he getteth a job in the store at $1 a day and swipeth extra change from his boss until he is caught. ALAS, POOR ELIZABETH! She lay before him—dead. And the rain fell from the leaden sky upon her still form. Before her he stood, his head bowed, and his heart filled with a consuming anguish. Slowly he stooped and touched her with his finger tips. No more did he hear her gently murmuring. He had killed her—her who had toiled for him, and helped him through so many hard passages, had he killed. The muddy, deserted road lay before and behind him, and the rain fell upon them. Then, with a sigh, he slammed down the hood and began to crank the engine, hoping he could start her. A FARMER’S LOVE LETTER Do you carrot all for me? My heart beets for you and my love is as soft as a squash. But I am as strong as an onion for you, because you are a peach.

And she nodded her sweet permission. So we went to press And I rather guess We printed a full edition. “One edition is hardly enough.” She said with a charming pout. So again on the press The forms were placed, And we got an extra out. Page Fifty-six And That’s That Well, as the nigger said when they dipped him into the pot of tar. “ It s all over now.” And there comes a feeling of vast relief. Furthermore, we hope for a subsequent feeling of pride when your Ilall of Fame eomes out for approval of the public that Is so incessantly clamoring for it. The hook is a small one, but even so, it has taken of our thought, our time, and our care. We have probably done to it lots that we should not, have left undone lots more that we should have done........ We hope the book pleases you—students of Arvada High School. We hope you all find what you seek therein, including your best, most saccharine notes. Yes, we hope you like it; but if you don’t, we shall set it down to your bad taste and not to our shortcomings, so we should worry.
