FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY When we were first discovered on the school grounds, we were looked upon as just another species of fruit leaving the mother tree to ripen. But when the Sophs, noted for their wisdom, sounded a proclamation for class conflict, they found us quite calm and composed. This class is the largest that has yet entered High School and therefore, you find us indulging in almost every activity. First the Freshies showed excellent taste in the selection of rose and gray as their class colors. Even the Sophs, who are of a critical turn of mind, found nothing to critize. John Hardy was sufficiently versed in knowledge to be elected President; while Robert Heizer was entrusted with the responsible position of Treas.; Iris Marshall was designated Vice-Pres.; and Ellen Heizer, Sec’y. Although we may still be green, perhaps some day you will find one of our names in print as a great orator, poet or artist. We have in our class some masculine beings that are noted for impersonating the Jones’ family, as was seen in the parade, in which the Freshies won the prize for the best class float. Due to the fact that Freshmen are always generous. This prize was donated to the Y. M. C. A. In the fall the Freshmen enjoyed a picnic, which was held in a beautiful thicket of shrubbery and briars, a few miles from Las Animas. The exciting sport of weiner-roasting formed an important feature. For those seeking romance, this grove is an ideal spot. The Freshjes affected by the soft moon beams and the beautiful star-lit Heavens grew romantic and required the unceasing attention of their chaperon. High School students should beware of this entrancing grove over which enchantress Diana, goddess of the moon, reigns supreme.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE AND ART The Domestic and Art Department was organized and laboratory equipped for each, three years ago, under the supervision of Miss Adelade Young. Since that time the work has progressed under the supervision of Miss Edith L. Givens. In the Domestic Science classes the work is corelated with the home work as much as possible. Study is made of the different foods, in regard to production, care of food value, place in diet, cost, ways of serving and so forth. Practical lessons in planning and serving of meals are given. In the Domestic Art classes different garments are made. In connection with the making of these some study is made of the textile fibers, of the history of costume, of care and repair of clothing, etc. In addition to this some study is made of the home in regard to sanitation, which includes arrangement, construction, decoration and furnishing. This year the courses have been altered so as to place due emphasis upon the conservation of foods and the observation of the strictest economy iii all phases of the Home Economics work. In the Domestic Art classes particular attention has been given and due emphasis placed upon Red Cross work. MANUAL TRAINING The importance of Manual Training in the school has long been realized. Some years since a beginning was made in the Las Animas Public School. However, not until the erection of the new High School Building did they have adequate quarters for carrying on the work. It again took on a new impetus when the department was moved to its present quarters in the basement of the Columbian Building. Several hundred dollars have been spent for machinery and equipment. We now have one of the best equipped shops in the valley. The work has progressed this year under the supervision of Mr. F. W. Voss and his successor, Mr. K. F. Morrison. Much interest is displayed in the department and several elegant articles of furniture have been turned out by the various pupils. The tendency every where is to emphasize the practical. Bent County High School with its Manual Training and Domestic Science departments is keeping abreast.
