COLORS Blue and Silver FLOWER Gardenia Class History The Trail Blazers of 40--that's what we are. Way hack in '1927 we started--twenty two of us. These original, brave and daring trail blazers were Kenny Hutchinson, Arthur Lundeen, Jack Peters, Margaret White and Dorothy Starr. Those Pioneer Peterson twins,Clara and Paul were there too, in addition to Marie Ashton, Dorothy Bennett, Mary Jean Banks, Katie Kinkel, Geraldine McWhorter, Phyllis Molby, June Morris, Florence Peddycoart, Mimi Gatchell and Helen Parrish. James Harburg and Dorothy Lei :hnitz left the original fort on Third Street, to follow various other trails, but they soon returned with many exciting talcs of their experiences. In the beginning the going was tough, but the urge to seek our way and to succeed was stronger. Therefore, although we knew little of what lay ahead, we kopt on. After the harder tasks were accomplished, after we pioneers had learned what responsibility and other essentials meant a now group-joined us the next year and brou rht with thorn a bundle of useful-knowledge-- Things Every Trail Blazer Should Know .--This group included Melrose Kraxber- or, Norma Smith, Clifford Ccmobcll, Ernest Groon and Bill Larsen. With their help, we survived the First Grade and were ready for tho second where we were joined by the Hambloys, Clark, and Dale. By that time we had progresses far, but we needed to learn some more delicate Tricks of the Trades . At this point came Elsie Page Marian Derr and Robert (Harpo) Wilcoxsom, who proved to us that it is easier to blaze a trail if you're laughing or makin.? some one else lauxh. Tho last few years in the blockade on Third Street wore rather uneventful with the exception of the arrival of Vadna Gardner, and Virginia Sims on tho fourth turn, Jim Pock and Barbara Owen on the fifth and Lloyd (Smoozie) Lewis on the sixth. At that time we had progressed quite a good deal and had discardod our shortrnn 'C muskets and axes for long range flint locks,because our hardships and dangers were decreasing and socmcd far away. V c even had a little timo for entertainment, and that took the form of Polly Make Believe -- our first operetta. Tho Trail Blazers of '40 proved to be exceptional, however, because they kept up with the Redskins in combat and the next fall they wore acknowledged as Heap Real Blazers. Didio Lujan joined us the first year we were in our now came and tho following year Jim Dunlap, Ed Krupotich and Bob Van Sickle arrived to offer their suggestions as to how to win good grades and influence teachers. Those two years were eventful for us. We gave another oocretta-xhis timo the pioneers, old hands at this sort of a thin-’, gave Jack In The Beanstalk. (We Trail Blazers have never been very creative or lucky, as the case may be, because wo didn't win tho Harvest Festival Parade Prize, even at this early date.) Of course evory one knows that the Trail Blazors of '40. were exceptional and when we entered as full-fled ed Redskins,’'e had saved fron all our expedition, turkey shoots, etc., a total of £ 13.00, the highest amount ever to come into a freshman treasure. We were unusual in other ways, too. News of us traveled far and people came from all over the world to join oixr band, to blaze the last trail with us and to make us the largest grouo ever to enter the Redskin's tepee. Coming from the road where the sign post said Leyden was a carefree, sturdy, pioneer trio. Jack Young,Dick Bernatis and Frank Tomsic. From Ralston came Betty Dickerson, Nona Doane, Letty Longnecker,Marjorie Lorenz,Neva Trine and Betty Plumlee. From various parts of the globe-Albcrt Osbaugh, Roger Norris, Ernest Doane, Irma Wallen, Ralph Montgomery, Paul Anderson, Francis Ellis and Charlotte Susal came to join us. Next year brou fht needed ability-both athletic and intellectual-to our ever increasing group: Wayne Grover,John Petroff,Dick Wheeler, Robert Gourley, Drew Morris and Martin Stanger. Our fame reached ever to the Sunny Southland because from Way Down in Dixie came Vera Good to join us in our Junior year. Joann Spano and Ray Lindsay also joined our ranks. This last year five more daring adventures joined us—Mary Jane Alison, Fern Lane, Lois Mortcnsen, Don Exline, and Ruth Goli.’htley. Thi« completed our clan and made the Trail Blazers of '40 the largest graduation class. Of course as these last four years have been the most imoortant of all twelve in the lives of these trail blazers, it i3 only fitting and prooer to see what things of importance occurred. In the freshmen year, ably led by the chief Trail Blazer, Ed Pavclka, we gave an assembly, The Lamp Went Out. Our first social gathering in the topee, was the very successful Freshman Party. Robert V ilcoxson took the oosition of Chief the next vear when we gave another assembly including Entor the Hero , Ten Prett- - Girls and some very special dancing by that nimble footed, talented Trail Blazer,Jack Young. We also decorated the auditorium for Baccalaureate and Commencement. The Trail Blazers have always been fond of entertainment and every tine there was a party in the teooe they had a marvelous turnout. Last year with the help of Raloh I'ontgomery,wo bla„cd a successful, and evontful year. We tied for the Harvest Festival Prize but were able to get only third olacc. However in the election,threo of our Trail Blazer -’iris won the honor of bein' the first Junior airls to be elected cheer loaders. This was also the wear of our successful play Gan rway For Gracic . To show that we were good for something besides blazing wilderness trails, the Trail Blazers got out their thinking caps and all their artistic ability and nrenared a Junior-Senior prom that was really swell. We won the Inter-Class Track meet on Cherry and White Day. This year was so eventful that each loyal Trail Blazer wanted to get a souvenir for these and other trail blazing days. These were in the form of rin?s and oins which readily identify a Trail Blr.sjer of 40. This present year again wo tried for the Harvest Festival Parado Prizo and again wo lost. Lator wo blazed forth with a now idea for a gum-parkins assembly. Frank Tomsic was the chiof Trail Blazer and under his direction we attended to all details concerning the ending of those trails and the beginnin’ of othors. Wo again scored a success hit, our Senior play, Sorinx Fovor . In order that oach Redskin nay remember tho Trail Blazers eventful days of oionocring, thoy edited a yearbook. A min this year three drls from the Trail Blazers of ’40 were chosen to lead the Redskins in their cries of Victor:?-, especially in the all important basketball season. Thcro were a number of Trail Blazors in the chameionshie basketball team who make their fellow pioneers and Redskins very proxid. Tho seniors won the ifit-'r-t.?-ack meet,too. We were royally entortained at a farewell dinner .lust as wo were ready to cxnlore further oaths and lanes on that wonderful trail Life!. It's strange to look back on all our years and try to visualize all those whoso paths have crossed ours and then partcd--pcrhaps never to moot again. We have tried, sometimes the struv’le has been defeated us--but wo kept on. We have tried to blaze these first trails of life with coura o, truth and honor. As wo approach the harder and rougher trails out in the world, we will try to adhere to our motto: We will either find a way or make one.

And last, but not least, we the Seniors of 1940 do bequeath to the Class of 1S41 our hopes and best wishes that they nay, in the comin-: year, be worthy of the name of Seniors and that thev may ful fill their duties conscientiously and to the best of their ability.

Upon climbing into the plane our two travelers found Betty Plunlee, a classmate, as chief stewardess, and there v as much rejoicing. Jim Harburg, photographer for Associated Press,v as on the scene getting flashes of celebrities who had come to bid Katie and Bob farewell. He caught pictures of them as they were being interviewed by Robert Gourley, news commentator for N.B.C. Among these celebrities was Francis Ellis who featured that famous program The Quiz-Quiz .Francis had just been in Denver for several weeks and had had record breaking crowds at his performances. Mildred Gatchell and her fiance, a graduate from Fort Collins, were also at the airport. Mimi had just finished a course in Domestic Cooking and Sewing at Opportunity School. Margie Lorenz, that famous 1-2-3 bend girl v ho was advocating a new reducing exercise for those with excess avoirdupois, was seen v ith Harpo Wilccxson, a former radio announcer, who is now president of Kellogs . Phyllis Molby, that wonderful bridge instructor,and Elsie Page, the new addition to the Denver University faculty as the instructor of the latest dancing craze, The Featherbed Flop , were seen chatting over a cup of coffee in the lunch room before saying their goodbyes. The takeoff was delayed because the field had to bo cleared v hen June Morris, while giving flying instructions to a couple of college girls, lost the left wheel of her plane and had cracked up while trying to land. Arthur Lundeen came to the rescue with his streamlined, rocket-shaped ambulance. June and the tv o girls were rushed to the Colorado General Hospital where they were treated for minor bruises and shock by the chief surgeon. Dale Hambley. As the plane v as taxiing down the field, the occupants saw the former Marian Derr, arriving too late to say goodbye. Later they learned that the cause of her delay v as her two young children whom she had been getting off to school. Oscar had fallen down and skinned his knee and Suzie had spilled a bottle l of ink on her clean school dress. Marian, hov ever, enjoyed seeing all her other classmates who were at the field. Soon after leaving Denver,the Reunion had some trouble with the engine and made a forced landing near Podunk, Kansas. Since repairs required several hours, the passengers went to a nearby farmhouse to v ait. To their surprize,they found none other than Ralph Montgomery, at home with his beautiful wife. Monte owns a very large wheat farm and said that he expected a bumper crop for 1950. At last'the plane was repaired and soon reached Chicago. Since Ed Krupotich, the new Waltz King , was playing at the Palmer House, the passengers decided to stop over in Chicago for a day and visit him. They were delighted to find that he was featuring Pern Lane as vocalist. Of course Bob had to sec- the races at Annapolis, so the next stop found our friends attending the races. Another classmate, Ear-ie Doane, brought honors to the class of 1940 by winning the 1950 auto race in his trail blazing racer, the new Earnest Speedster. Before leaving the United States, Katie wanted to order a new Chevrolet, so a quick trip was made to Detroit. Since Dick Wheeler is president of the Chevrolet Motor Company, the trio had a chance to visit with him while Katie was placing her order. Dick's very efficient private secretary,Marie Ashton,also visited with the four. The Chevrolet Ilotor Company's chief test driver is Leona Wilson, who is known as the best driver behind tho wheel. Leona has had many thrilling experiences, but always manages to come out alive. Tho Reunion stopped long enough in Pittsburg for 3etty to take a quick trip out to Crrneige Tech, to visit her long time pal, Virginia Sims. Virginia is conducting a course in The Proper Way of Managing a Home and a Wife . Incidentally Mary Jane Allison is president of Carneige Tech. She thoroughly enjoys her work with all the students. As Betty, Bob and Katie were interested in some new legislation for the State of Colorado, they stopped at Washington D. C. to call on the Right Honorable Drew Morris, the oratorical sensation from Colorado, to interest him in the project. By the way Drew is running for President in the next election. His campaign manager is Joanne Spano who is also his private secretary. A few minutes hop found the Reunion at the hanger in New York City around noon, being checkeH over and refueled for a nonstop transatlantic flight. Katie's first desire when getting to New York was to have some flowers,so going up Fifth Avenue, the three travelers stopped at a quaint flower shop. Here they found Florence Poddy-coart Kennedy, arranging bouquets for her handsome husband, Pat. For luncheon our trio went to the Rainbow Room in Radio City. Melrose Kraxburger, another classmate, now hostoss, greeted our friends and pointed out several people of note. Among them were Mary Jean Banks and Clifford Campbell who wore having lunch; Mary Jean, the famed authority on etiquette, writes the section, The Debutante , exclusively for Esquire . Clifford, W.P.A. wa ter boy from Arvada v ho was vacationing in New York,spotted our trailblazers and invited them to join his party. During the luncheon Mary Jean mentioned that she‘was giving a dinner that evening in honor of Irma Wallen,Prima Donna,who was making her debut at the Metropolitan Opera House in Madam Butterfly , and the flyers were invited. This gave the girls a good chance to inspect Mary Jean's penthouse, newly decorated by Lois Mortenson, owner of a smart Fifth Avenue decorating shop. Every visitor to New York wants at least, to see,Tiffany's,that shop famous for diamonds, even if he is unable to purchase anything. Our footsore travelers wearily walked into this lovely jewelry shop and found another trailblazer with Ernie Jump,picking out a diamond. Neva and Ernie are to be married early in the fall. After n good nights rest at the Hotel New Yorker,the three flying trailblazers climbed into the cabin of their plane. Nothing but the best would do for them, so they engaged Ozzie Osbaugh, an ace flyer, to pilot the plane on this nonstop' flight from New York to London. Arriving in London at dinner time, the foursome stopped at the Savoy for dinner, where they danced to the Jitter 'nd Jive rhythm of Jack Joseph and his Young -sters. Margaret White, Jack's pianist, made famous that popular song Schoen My Baby Home. The Reunion1s next stop was Paris where the girls, naturally being interested in clothes, v ished to see the latest fashions and were directed to the studios of Adrian , where they saw Gerry McWhorter modeling his latest creations of 1950 over television. Gerry had just heard from Donn Exline who had recently returned to Russia to continue his study of Communism. Another short trip took the Reunion to Rome where its passengers had a short chat with Dorothy Starr in her spacious studio. Dorothy is studying art under the great grandson of Leonardo di Vinci. The plane was prepared for a long trip,as the course was pointed toward Africa. The 1950 Olympics which were being held in Egypt were of great interest to our travelers since- Arvada was well represented by Ernest Green, the famous skier, and the fleet-footed Harold Jaegar. It was quite novel seeing Ernest skiing on the sand, and of course Harold v on the mile. Here the travelers also met Dorothy Bennett, the well-known archeologist, who was making a study of the pyramids. Fortunately the group reached Honbasa, Africa,just in time to greet Charles Bring 'em Back Alive Richter before he embarked for the United States with 100 specimens,many of them animals which had never before been seen by man. The next stop of the Reunion was at Calcutta,India. Betty, Bob, Ozzie and Katie had a very pleasant time in Calcutta visiting Bobbie Owen, who was getting material for her new book, Raisins of Mirth . With the trailblazers came the good news to Bobbie that hor last novel, Of Cats and Women , had been chosen as the 1949 Pulitzer Prize novel. Despite the hazardous weather the Reunion with the crack pilotj Ozzie, at the controls made a record breaking trip across the water, landing safely, late one afternoon in Los Angles after completing a six weeks' tour in foreign countries. Glad to get their feet on solid ground again, the flying four checked in at the Ambassador hotel for a little rest. ''gain the girls' minds turned to thought of style and beauty. Immediately they visited Mary's Salon in the Ambassador. They found that Mary was none other than Ilary Tometich,formerly of Arvada, now famous for her new type of permanent wave which has gone over big with the masculine customers. Nothing else v ould do but that the foursome should go that evening for dinner at the Trocftdero. What a surprize it was to then to find Frank Tomsic, whom they had left in Arvada six weeks ago, now instructing young movie stars in the most intricate and advanced dance steps. He is featuring the Leyden Rumba. Frank invited them to go with him the next day to see the sights of Hoilywood.They accepted readily and were ready at 10:00 the next morning. On the M. G. I', lot they found Norma Smith and Didio Lujan putting the finishing touches on their latest and best picture, The Life of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire . Incidentally costumes for this picture were designed by Bette Dickerson, Hollywood’s favorite designer, At Grauman’s Chinese, Warner Brothers’ Each Night I Live v as to have its premier showing that evening. The lead is taken by that popular star and matinee idol Paul Peterson. Pete got his start in the theater as an ambitious chemistry student interested in a substitute for dynamite in the great play presented by the Senior Class of 1940 Spring Fever . A great deal of advertising was being done for The Ice P’ollies of 1950 ; which would be released in six months. The star of this picture, Ruth Golightly, had just finished a 52 bell movie, I Ditched School. While in Hollywood, Frank took our friends to the home of Deanna Durbin where they visited Johnny Petroff, who is head life guard for Deanna’s private swimming pool. Johnny has the pleasure of teaching Deanna's beautiful friends how to swim and also of rescuing the unlucky ones who don't swim. While strolling along Hollywood 3oulevard, they noticed a sign reading, Longneck-er Studios . The name being familiar, caused them to investigate and consequently to find Letty Walt Disney ‘ Longnocker working on her latest picture, The Ten Little Redskins , 3ureto be a hit; Letty told them that another classmate,liartin Stanger,was in Nome, Alaska, hard at work in his chemical laboratory perfecting his plans for-a refrigeration system for the Eskimos. For the next day our friends planned a short jaunt to Catalina Island. Upon leaving Long Beach, they were amazed to find Ray Lind-esay, a former Navy man, Captain of the Catalina Excursion boat. The trailblazers left late in the afternoon to keep a dinner engagement at Betty Whyman's Dude Rancho, just the right place for the eccentric and rich. Another guest v as Vera Good who was writing many No. 1 hits for the Jitter 'nd Jive young-stors.Bob when resting picked up a newspaper. The headlines read MICKEY ROONEY DIVORCED . Reading on, he found that Helen Parrish had just received her final decree. She had charged non-support—Hickey only makes $5000 a week.There are rumors that Helen plans another matrimonal adventure. She has been seen frequently with Jackie Cooper. Upon arriving at the Arvada Airport, out on Hackberry Hill a group of friends v ere waiting to welcome the travelers home. Among them were Mrs. Ilona Beck, voted by the Arvada Chamber of Commerce as the ideal housewife of 1950, and Mrs. Vadna Fullerton, another Arvada housev ife. These married ladies came to the air port with Jimmy Dunlap The Fuller Brush Han who had been trying to sell his v aros to each of them. Roger Norris, The Cat and Canary 'specialist of Arvada and Suburbs v as on hand also. He dashed off, however, v hen the United Air Line Transport cane in, for he v as meeting Nary Lorene Stott, v ho had been vacationing in Monte Carlo. Also on this plane were Wayne Grover,basketball coach at Colorado Woman's College and Clark Hambley, head coach at Colorado Kinos who were returning from a Sport's Convention which was held in St. Louis. Upon driving into downtown Arvada, they noticed the following changes. Kenny Hutchinson had just moved into his modern feed store. In the same block, Jack Peters factory had opened and had put on the market Jack's new Invention Reclining Chairs for Sleepy Students . Charlotte Susal, his private secretary, was seen going down the street. Farther down, on opposite sides of the street, they saw two rival creameries, Paul Anderson's Arvada Creamery and Dairy and Bill Larson's Dairy and Creamery. Friendly rivalry exits between'these two. As the weary travelers were going by George's drug store, they saw Dick Bernatis, the big Leyden G. Kan, hot on the trail of a blonde. Right behind him was Smoozie Lewis, player-coach for the Phillip'.s Oilers. The Reunion had finished a record breaking trip. It's passengers had seen nearly all of the members of the Class of 1940 . They all agreed it had been a very happy and eventful adventure and 'that the membors of the Class of 1940 were still making history.

In November, the glee clubs purchased a Steinway piano-and presented it to the school. In December, the glee clubs, with the band, gave a Christmas concert. Members of both organizations have assisted in various programs'given by civic, church, and patriotic groups in the community, as well as with school programs. An annual, county, spring, music festival is held in Golden in which the glee clubs participate. Chief event of the year was the operetta. The Pirates of Penzance, by W. S.

This year the orchestra played for the Junior Class Play, Sonior Play and the White Christmas Program. They also picked the musical scores accompanying the singers during this Glee Club Operetta, The Pirates of Penzance. Its melodious strains were avain heard at Baccalaureate and Commencement. Forty-eight musicians make up our band. At the Harvest Festi-Five pioccs called the German Band , played during the day, wnile at night the entire band presented a concert. At Christmas season the band and Glee Clubs gave a joint concert. At every home football and basketball gamo one can see the band out in full force tooting, blowing, and banging for all its worth. Last fall the organization was invited to attend and play for two football oames held at Colorado University and at Denver University. In their white slacks and shirts, blrck ties and canes which are lined with cherry and white satin, our band was invited to play at the Finnish Relief basketball games held at the Denver Auditorium. Many selections were broadcast over KLZ. Since there are but thirteen members in the or anization, the ten Seniors make up for the most part this little, but good, swing orchestra. This orchestra plays for nearly all the social hour's the annual Home-Be.-Ag. Party. They played for the Pep Club-Dinner Dance, honorinr the athletics of Arvada Hirh, and in the spring performed for the Broomfield Grange. High School Band Social Hour Orchestra PEP CLUB The Pep Club is an organization of Sophomore, Junior, and Senior girls, which promotes good sportsmanship, encourages school spirit, and presents drills at all home games. This year the 53 members were attractively dressed in cherry red skirts, white gabardine jackets, white shoes and white anklets. The two most outstanding events of the year were the Denver University vs. Colorado State football game, and the Pep Club Dinner Dance. At the former, the girls were the guests of the Arvada businessmen. The banquet, which was served to 120 guests, honored the athletes who had participated in any sport--this year or last.

The King Rides T3v , a great success. The clever plot, based on a theft of some jewels, combined comedy and romance in an exciting manner. Much credit for the success of the play is due to the director. Miss Phylabe Houston, and the sponsor of the class, Miss Ruby Clark, who, along with the Juniors, worked hard for the final production. The play had to be post-poned for a week because of the illness of J. Phil Wainner. His part was quickly learned and creditably done by V alt Smith.

FEVER SPRING Senior Play Ihe play chosen as the Senior Class play of this year was Spring Fever a rollicking comedy written by Glon Hughes. Spring Fever was adjudged by Row Peterson and Company as the best liked play of its class for 1940. It certainly lived up to its representation when presented in Arvada 3 Auditorium, April 12 and 13. Around this list of varied characters is woven an hilariously interesting plot, involving mistaken identitios, endowments for college buildings, and various love affairs. Combine these and violent explosions at the appropriate time and you get the ultra-successful senior play, Spring Fever. The Players Howard Brant, a senior at Brookfield College. .

The high school gymnasium, scene of the banquet was decorated to represent the deck of a ship. The walls were adorned with crepe paper in varying shades of blue to represent waves. Beautiful drops at either end of the gym added immensely to the marine atmosphere. The ceiling was decorated with billowy clouds of blue crepe paper from which were hung silvery stars. The baskets, designed as lanterns completed the decorations. The table decorations, favors, programs and invitations were carried out in the nautical theme. Following a delicious dinner prepared and served by the Junior mothers, toasts were given by school board members, Mr. Peck and the president of each of the two classes. The group then adjourned to the auditorium where they were entertained by various members of the Junior class. After the program, dancing began in the gym to the lilting music of Lev Frazier’s orchestra. The climax of the evening was reached when Marian Dennison was crov ned Prom Queen and was pre-i sented a beautiful floral crrwn. She and her escort. Jack Young, led the grand march after which the dancing continued, until eleven-thirty. Junior-Senior Prom, 1940 The Junior Prom of the class of 41 was given in honor of the Seniors on May 18, 1940 The setting was a musical night club named ‘'Melody Manor“, done in black and white. Top hats and musical notes and bars played a major part in the decorations. During the banquet, a floor show was put on, and immediately following the banquet, the members of the Junior class gave a program in the auditorium. Music was furnished by 3ill Petrie and his orchestra and dancing completed tho evening, greatly enjoyed by all.

FOOTBALL 1939 The Redskins opened the football season with a game against Manual which ended in a thrilling 7 to 7 tie. Before the league games got underway, Arvada looked forward to a league championship, but tragedy stepped in just before the league opener game with Golden when Charlie Tometich injured his shoulder. The Arvada Boys, disheartened by this, nevertheless put up a good fight before going down in defeat. The second league tilt was with Aurora. In this game the Arvada boys came out on top, 25-7, In a very exciting practice game Arvada played Westminster, and, with a touchdown in the last minute, made the score 14-13. In the third league encounter the Redskins were defeated by the Wheat Ridge Farmers 19-0. The fourth league game was with Littleton in which Arvada was defeated in the league play for the third time, 14-7. The second round of play opened with Arvada meeting Golden. The Redskins lost to the Demons, 9-0. The second tangle with Aurora, a hard fought game, ended in a 6-6 tie. In the encounter with Wheat Ridge we lost 20-0. Our final league game with Littleton, coming on Thanksgiving, was very exciting, but under the influence of too much turkey, the Redskins again went down in defeat, 28-0. Thus ended the season. Arvada placed fourth in the Suburban League after a very disappointing season. Coaches T. D.

One of our victors, Aurora, became the runner-up for the league title. The second team also had a very successful season, winning six of the eight games olayed, and olacing in a three way tie for championship. The Redskins were beaten out of the District Tournament (held at Wheatridge) by the Edgewater and Westminster quintettes. High point man for the Redskins was Wayne Grover, with Dick Wheeler and Warren West runners-up.
