Snapshots The staff for Animas Zephyrs was this year composed of those people who were interested in Annual work, and the Editor-in-Chief selected by popular vote among these people. The staff members encountered many difficulties in issuing the first annual, but they willingly strove to overcome all hindrances, and the result is an annual, the first in thirteen years. Besides all the work necessary to put out Animas Zephyrs, the staff found time to enjoy a party and other pleasures. g. k. McCauley. Superintendent of Schools Las Animas, Colorado A.

C. H. S. for 1930. Perhaps the most noteworthy among the positions she has filled are: President of the Student Council, 1930, Junior Class president, a member of the Girls Octette and a staff member of both student publications. Furthermore she ranks foremost in scholastic records. As a result of the Popularity Contest conducted by the Annual Staff, Harriet is to be hailed not only as the most popular girl in school but as “Queen of the Annual,” which is one of the most distinguishing recognitions that any girl can receive.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In September 19 28, 85 parts for lhe airplane factory at Bent County High School were shipped in . After assembling an engine who was Kenneth McChesney, a propeller, Bruce Purvis, a body, Judd Limbach, and the wings, Tom Pryor, the airplane was ready to start on its famous journey. Under the skilled pilotship of Lawler and Johnson, and Langley as mechanic, the plane faired well on its course and after a year landed safely at the field work. At the close of this strenuous year new parts were supplied. A new engine, Betty Amsley, a body. Mary Heizer, and the propeller and wings being unharmed remained the same. This year Mrs. Hale acted as pilot and Mr. Wolf as mechanic and saw to it that the airplane was refueled with two parties and two picnics. In May the plane landed at the Junior flying field. v enly Back How:—A. Sanchez, R. Mortimer, Mr. Hamm. (Sponsor) 0. Tull, W. Wheatley. Third Row:—E. Myers, X. Woodworth, M. Thedford, V. Wright, E.

FRESHMEN HISTORY The Freshmen family is the largest one in the Trojan house. Their troubles began September 3 and the head of the house and their leader was Max Burkholder. Of course Max needed one assistant so Erva Thaxton. another wearer of the green hat was handed the book on “Duties of a Vice-President.” Lucille Laster kept books and Alice Lively put the pennies in the bank for them. Once in awhile we could hear them fussing but as a rule the household was ruled successfully. And now they are ready to cross the border to Sophomoreland. FRESHMEN Back Row:—Mr. Hamm (Sponsor.)A.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, under the leadership of Harriet Hartzell, has been a very active organization this year. At the beginning of the year the Council passed and enforced traffic regulations in the assembly and halls. Rules, concerning the attendance of their members, were made and carried out. Perhaps the climax of the Council's activities was the sponsoring of Recognition Day in May. This affair has always met with enthusiasm from the student body, and this year is no exception. The Student Council consists of two representatives and the president from each class, and the officers of the Council. Following are the members of the organization: OFFICERS OF THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT HARRIET HARTZELL VICE-PRESIDENT __________ NEIL DAVIDSON SECRETARY BETTY AMSLEY TREASURER FRANCES DEAN FACULTY MEMBERS CARMEN DUGGER W.

BAND With fifty people wishing to take up band work this year, it was possible to have wo bands, a junior and senior band. Mr. Holbert again had charge of music this year. The senior band played at all home football and basketball games, adding a great deal of enthusiasm to the boosters and players. On November 20, the annual band concert was held at the Simons theatre with both bands partaking in the exhibition. The program was one of the best musicals given during the year, and the band members are to be commended on the excellent work they have accomplished this year. At the beginning of the year, the following officers were elected: President - John Elder Vice-President John Howe Secretary-Treasurer Alva Hayhurst Assistant Director Robert Gwillim Thirty-one ZEPHYRS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS Mary Mahaney—Thou shalt not giggle. Price Owen—Thou shalt gargle thy tonsils every night in order to warble like a bird. Coy Ham—Thou shalt be sweet and jolly and happy, by golly.

Coach Hamm had before him the task of reorganizing the squad of 192 8 and developing men to fill the places of last years graduates. About thirty volunteers answered the call for men and nearly all of them “stayed by until the last bone was broken, and the last whistle blown. The R. C. H. S. eleven pried the lid off the 1929 league season by a victory of 14 to 0 over the Fowler Grizzlies, but when they journeyed to Trinidad on September 27, lost by a heavy score. When the Tigers, traditional rivals of the Animas grid-men, came to the local field, the Trojans with fight that was almost uncanny in its desperateness, went on the field after a victory, but were met with a defeat is to 6. Rocky Ford too, was G points better than the Trojans when they invaded the territory of the Blue and White on October 19. Then Trinidad thought they would send a few men over to repay the little visit we had made on them at the first of the season, and they were met with a great surprise. No, it wasn’t a defeat, but it certainly was a cold shoulder, one that pushed through their defense time and again, and a line of determined Trojans through which they only broke once with any success. Revenge from their first defeat from the Tigers, was sought when the football crew battled to a 24-0 finish with La Junta.—but La Junta had the 24 points. On Armistice Day the Trojans were far from peaceful and almost conducted a Civil War when the Grizzlies were the guests of Las Animas, but right from the start they decided they would be “Grant” and then they more than showed the fans how to “take Richmond.’’ November 15 was the date of the last league tilt, and again the B. C. H. S. colors went down to defeat. Not because the team didn’t fight, not because Coach Hamm hadn’t done his work but merely because the Meloneers secured 24 points and the Animas men didn’t have any. The Trojans didn’t gain fame, they didn't add a pennant or a cup to the collection of trophies, they didn’t finish first or even second in the league but they did establish a standard of “Trojan Fight” and good sportsmanship that will be hard to equal. hirty-four ZEPHYRS Rack Row:—Mr. Consbruek, (Coach), William Patty, Treen Felkner, Allison Ray, Franklin Henry.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL When Coach Consbruek began his work on the Trojans who were to uphold the Blue and White in basketball this season, hopes were running high, and by the close of the season most of the hopes were realized. Several of last year’s men were gone, but there were others ready to step in and fill their places, and every man. old or new, was ready to fight his hardest for dear old B. C. H. S. It’s been many a year since the boys basketball team of B .C. H. S. won so many of their practice games, but this year they defeated all of their opponents except Pueblo Central and Manzanola. It is the first time that they have ever defeated Granada on Granada’s court. The entire schedule was a heavy one and two Trojans had an unusual record with which to start their league season. In the first few conference tilts, with La Junta. Trinidad and Rocky Ford, they were defeated by close scores, but in the game with the Fowler Grizzlies, they hit their stride and retained it. The league Champions, Rocky Ford, were defeated on their own court by the Trojan Quintet; and if all other games had been lost the season would have been a success with only the result of the game. February IS with La Junta. The Animas boys were the only team in the league to defeat either of these teams, to say nothing of both of them. Again, on a journey to Fowler, the local team brought home a victory to add to their list which is the longest list written for many years. No, the Troians didn’t win a championship cup, but they certainly displayed some real basketball, and were reputed by many to be the best team in the league at the end of the season. There wasn’t a “star.” although the boys did take turns at fkshirg exceptionally good playing in certain games, but there was a team of fine good steady players and some dependable reserves. Individual honor was won by Klinkerman. third high scoring man in the league II Ray seventh, Felkner. eighth. Ellis tenth. Henry, best defensive man, and several placed on the all-star teams. One distinction given to Animas was that she had fewer fouls called against her than any other team in the league. The 1929 -30 Trojans certainly deserve all credit and praise given to them.

The hour is now come for every loyal Trojanette to don her armor, leave behind her candy, and come along on a merry trip through basketball land.”—Quoth the Chronical on November 4. And so began the 19 29-3 0 basketball season for the B. C. H. S. Trojanettes. Coach Hamm worked faithfully. Mr. McCauley gave untiring aid, and each girl fought her hardest to keep the team “pulling together.” And their efforts were not in vain. for. did not B. C. H. S. claim the league title, and did they not defeat the winners of the Arkansas Valley League, and the South Central League? The Trojanettes carried the Blue and White, even to the state semi-finals. There they were stopped by Flagler, hut they accepted their harrier with good sportsmanship for they had won many honors and they have good chances to win more next season. The league season started January 21. on La Junta's court with a game full of (brills and a score of 4 4-20. Most of the margin gained by the Trojanettes was won in the last quarter. This kept all fans wondering as to what the girls would do when they met the raeloneers, reputed to be quite good, on January 28, but it did not take long for them to find out that they could treat them all the same way, for B. C. H. S. carried off a score of 63 while Rocky Ford only scored 36 in that game. The Grizzliettes had handed the Animas sextet the closest competition they had run up against by January 31 with the score Trojanettes, 37, Fowler 19. In the return games the girls were more succesful than they were in the first half and carried off the Southern Colorado League banner with comparative ease. Then began the state elimination series. The first tilt was with Granada, whom the Trojanettes had defeated twice in practice games, and from whom they won the third game. Olney Springs proved to be a formidable rival but the sextet up-holding the blue and white, put out just an extra ounce of effort and won by the narrow margin of 30-27. This is the second defeat the Trojanettes have handed Olney Springs in state elimination games. In Flagler the local team found strength, speed, and team work well combined and combined for form and air-tight defense and a remarkable offense. To this team, the Trojanettes surrendered their place after a hard fought game with a score 38-30. and this team took the state title. Last year, the Trojanettes defeated the Pantherettes, and carried off state honors, so now, its 50-50. 3ffl g Si m n (—5 !?ni m hirty-six lefuenjeiueiuefu n ;(y 0je(ueiye{U2[ an! bjU ERSZRfi OPERETTA ‘In Old Louisiana,” one of the most colorful operettas ever produced in B. C H. S., was featured by the Boys and Girls’ Glee Clubs, on March 12, under the com bined leadership of Miss Linn, Mr. Wolf and Mr. Holbert. About forty people participated in the presentation which was based upon a romance of the Old South. Singing and dancing choruses together with the interesting story of plantation life furnished one of the most entertaining events of the entire school season. The students who had the principal parts are listed below: BARBARA GRAYS IRMA WALKER RUTH CHANDLER PRICE OWEN GARLAND RICE ROBERT PARIES ALLISON RAY BERTRAND GILLISPIE All of us like to recall the numerous dramatic attempts made by the various organizations of our student body and to note with no little pleasure the success that each enjoyed. The first event of the school year was the three one-act plays. “Cabbages,” “Joint Owners in Spain,” and “Spreading the News.” All were hilarious comedies with their characters selected from the whole school. The dramatic ability displayed by the cast members showed the influence of the excellent coaching by Miss Carmen Dugger. Mr. Wolf, also deserves a considerable amount of credit for the work and time he spent in acting as stage manager.. Thirl y-eight SS9HHHHH ZEPHYRS Another exceptionally well given play was that presented by the Juniors on December 2, 1929, “A PRINCE THERE WAS”. Although a comedy and filled with many lines of keen wit. it was not developed along the lines of a farce. The story centered around a mysterious Mr. Prince, in reality a well-known business man, who comes to live in a cheap boarding house. Suspicions as to his identity arise and romance is brought into the plot by the appearance of another boarder. Miss Woods, supposedly a short story writer. After many interesting complications, the story ends in the good old fashioned way. Below, is the complete list of characters involved in the play: PAUL LAWRENCE KENNETH STROUD HAROLD CALDWELL BERTRAND HENDIN WILFRED YOUNG JOHN -HOWE CHRISTINA CAMERON MARY HUDNALL DOROTHY MYER HELEN BALDWIN LEONA THAXTON FRANCES DEAN Mrs. Frank Bryant, formerly Miss Johnson, capably sponsored the play while Mr. Harvey Mullen acted as stage manager. Their efforts in making the production a success were reflected in the splendid way that each character handled his part. “THE MUMMY AND THE MUMPS”, one of the most humorous and clever plays ever produced in B. C. H. S., was given by the Seniors as their annual play on May 16. 1930. The plot hinges on a series of mysteries taking place in a Girls Boarding School. One of the most humorous situations developed when “Brisky” impersonated “Agatha”, head of the seminary. Miss Dugger, as usual, directed the play in her capable manner, while Mr. Consbruek, filled the part of stage manager in a very efficient manner. The cast of the Senior Play is as follows: JOHN ELDER KENNETH BROWN BERTRAND GILLESPIE KENNETH ROGERS BILL HAG EM AN MARION HIRANO RUTH EASLEY FREDA DRUM RIGHT HELEN GRIFFIN HARRIET HARTZELL RECOGNITION DAY Work is often a tedious thing, but. when done in the right way, and with the right spirit, it cannot fail to win “just recompense of reward”. To those in B. C. H. S. who make commendable achievements during the year, recognition of the same is given on a traditional occasion called Recognition Day. It was held this year. May 9th. The affair commenced at noon with a picnic lunch on the school campus. Following this came the initial feature of the day—the announcing of awards. Letters, medals, cups, ribbons, etc., were awarded for the following activities or contests: Girls’ basketball, boys’ basketball, track, debate, newspaper, Annual, declamation, oration, best-all-around girl and boy in Senior Glass, and winners of the popularity •contest. Musical entertainment during the program was furnished by the Glee Clubs, and the Band. The entire affair was enjoyed by everyone, and gave a feeling of satisfaction for work done, and a feeling of ambition for work yet to be accomplished. Thirty-nine ZEPHYRS CALENDAR SEPTEMBER 3.

Evergreen tress were bent with their fight against the wind. The snow was so thick as to shut off all vision further than a few feet. The blizzard had been raging six hours and showed no signs of abating The man stopped. It seemed to him that he could go no farther, his strength was ebbing and he had a despairing look. It was still ten miles to the post of Laudeau, ten miles of drifts and blizzard, and he realized that it was hopeless. Still some dog sled might come along and save him. “Die fighting, any way, die fighting,” he faltered and staggered forward. The snow seemed to clutch at his feet, to push him down. More than once he fell, floundered in drifts waist deep, climbed out and forged ahead. The wind became more violent; the snow increased until he could see only the immediate foreground. It got colder, so cold that his eyeballs hurt, and yet he struggled on. All at once he sank in to his neck,—one of those small crevices filled and drifted full of snow. He lay still, what was the use? It was too far, too far, he could never get there and it was so comfortable here. He did not feel cold any more and was getting sleepy. What was it they said? Never go to sleep or you'll freeze; or something like that. Well, no matter he couldn’t go any more. With a groan he relaxed. The snow drifted around him and began to cover him up. “Good-bye. Cora.” he murmered, “Cod keep you.” “Fine!” shouted the director, “this is the best shot of the works.” Come out of that drift Tom, and we’ll get back to camp.
