' .Far in the heart of the towering Rockies, where winter blasts are not too cold nor summer suns too scorching, there stretches for many miles a beautiful and grassy plain. In one direction it extends toward the rolling foothills. among which flows a crystal river, overhung by cool, refreshing shade trees. In the opposite direction there rises a high, rugged mountain whose summit is crowned with soft and lleecy clouds. Near its base there was assembled one ideal autumn morning a company of three score youths and maidens fair. Some lounged sleepily upon the grass, gazing listlessly into the clear blue sky, some longingly studied the cool, green hillocks in the distance, while others with wonderment and awe looked upward at the cloud-capped summit of the towering mountain. just as the first rays of the morning sun burst full upon them, a figure, clad from head to foot in a Flowing robe of snowy white, slowly approached the group and halted in the midst of them, and as she spoke in clear and ringing accents, not once was there the faintest whisper or ff X li the slightest sound amongst the listening company. Lo, I am Opportunity,', she said. I come to show you where to find the path of learning that will lead you up yon Mount of Ihfisdom. The way is hard, for there to cross. The journey is a who sink down by the alluring butterfiies. Some some give up the climb in gence the precepts of their ever onward, upward, may are jagged rocks to scale and deep ravines dangerous one, and many are the travellers wayside, or are. led astray by bright, are captured by the highway robbers, and deep despair, but they who heed with dili- guides, and faithfully from day to day push at last attain the mountain top, where they will catch that glorious vision reserved for them alone. The way is not all toil and hardship, for there are shady nooks for rest, and there are bright-hued flowers along- the path which grow more sweet and more abundant as you reach the higher altitudes. So follow me, ye who would gain wisdom. strength, and courage. For a moment all were silent, then the youthful company arose and prepared to follow after Opportunity. Already she was hurrying away, not waiting or once looking back. Some of the youths ran eagerly ahead, while others'loitered lazily in the rear, but at last all reached the spot where Opportunity had halted. Here, in a shady glen, a crystal Y' as : . lu--N Ivv- U P V 'r ., :rg .,'. ,,,, ,W -' U ,f'- ' ff Q'ilE'? - E45 1-'5eqs432+1 TMC'-3::lfT'l'g'f i' T7 'Q' e ' X, ,nv g ,MV ,F yi-I I, ' -..a.f.. . :rift Y Mn . ,.:, T in JK .- I- ' -ff lim- i-vw' f '-' lf, Y -J k. A ,f 4, Q. Kant, Z1 spring bubbled from among the rocks, and nearby a path wound in and out among the trees, but soon was lost to sight amid the bushes on the mountainside. Near the white-robed hgure stood a number of persons whose tanned faces and rough apparel spoke of long experience in the mountains. She spoke again: I have brought you skillful guides who know the journey thor- oughly. They will shield you from its dangers and will show you all its beauties. Now I leave you to their friendly counsel, but in four years' time, when you have reached the mountain's summit, I will come to you again and tell you of new wonders to be sought. Then she turned and left them, and they started on their quest for wisdom. As the journey was a new experience for our youthful travel- lers, they often became discouraged and disheartened, but here and there the guides would bid them pause upon some mountain park for a happy frolic or a jolly holiday. Many, however, turned back toward the plain or went aside to other more inviting paths. The incessant chatter of one called Hazel, the frequent screams of Nina over imaginary snakes, and the horrified shrieks of Bernice as pretty millers tlitted gracefully about her head, kept the party at a pitch of high excitement, and made the days pass quickly. Cue beautiful spring morning the guides ordered their charges to stop in a cool valley, announcing that the first fourth of the journey was completed and that here they might enjoy a period of rest and frolic. Vlfhen the autumn days again drew near, the company prepared to continue their ascent. As Opportunity had promised, the bright-hued Flowers grew more abundant, but they found their way a little steeper than before. Some tried riding ponies through the dark ravines of Caesar, but the frowning guide pronounced dire penalties of death upon the animals, and soon the feeble beasts were all abandoned, sad and lone. Wlhen the path was rough and stony, a bright-eyed maid called Helen or a timid youth caller Alfred would lure their comrades on with sweet, enchanting music. Wfhen they became tired and discouraged, Max, the infant of the party, would amuse them by his foolish questions and his childish prattle. Ere long they reached the half-way house, and each rejoiced to think how far they now had journeyed. Again they stopped for a pe- riod of rest and pleasure, but when the First tints of autumn appeared. all were ready to push onward toward the cloud-capped summit. which still seemed a distant and almost impossible goal. Upward, ever up- ward they climbed, following the guides just ahead. An active little maid called Ruth one day espied a beautiful butterfly of the species popularity. Forgetting her quest she chased it far and wide over the mountainside, and it was many weeks before she could overtake her companions. A mighty boom resounding from the fertile valley of Pleasure once startled the crowd, and caused some delay in their ascent. Another time they stopped to do homage to the party just ahead of them, who had almost reached the summit, but by the appointed time they reached the shady glen in which they were to take the last rest be- sv' -i'I 'I I - .,.. ii Q ' - 'i'ii ii ifiEl. ' 3+ A fore attempting the fourth part of their journey. W'hen the guides again beckoned them onward, they eagerly started on their way. There were many perilous cliffs to scale, many rushing streams to cross, and much thick underbrush to cut, but still they has- tened on. To give diversion to the weary travellers, the guides planned many pleasure trips to cool, refreshing nooks, where sparkling springs gushed forth and wild Flowers shed their sweet perfume. At last the day arrived when each one knew the summit would be gained by even- ing. All day long they journeyed upward, never once pausing, for every eye, every thought, every heart was fixed upon the goal. Vlfhen the rays of the setting sun were touching all the clouds with crimson, the band of pilgrims clambered over the last rocks and stood upon the mountain top. In their midst was the white-robed Opportunity, though no one knew when, how, or whence she came. Ere they had time to view the panorama before them, she spoke, in the same clear tones as before, and held them spellbound till she finished. - I have kept my promise. I have come to lead you to new won- ders, but now you cannot go together, for each must seek his fortune for himself. Some of you may choose to scale yon misty mountains, others of your company must go atronce to mingle with the peoples of the world, but if you gaze each day at Wfisdomls cloud-capped summit and think of what experience has taught you on the rocky paths of learning, you will safely reach the City of Success and I myself will put into your hand the sparkling gem of happinessf' The moon arose and one by one the twinkling stars appeared, but the little band upon the mountain sat as motionless and silent as the rocks and rugged cliffs around them. Tomorrow! They knew not what that day would bring. Their guides had left them and the City of Success seemed far away, a vague and distant somewhere in a promised land yet undiscovered. lfranklin was the first to speak: 'llhfhen Aurora ushers in the dawn, I go to yonder mountains. I shall follow higher paths of learning ere I go into the worldfl But a maid named Grace made answer: I am tired of weary climbing. I shall go into the world at once to seek the promised city. So when the dawn appeared the company was divided. Some sought out the higher mountains, while others went at once into the world, but ere they parted they agreed to meet in ten years' time just inside the golden portals of the City of Success. They soon lost sight of one another, each pilgrim following a differ- ent highway. But none forgot to gaze each day at VVisdom's cloud- capped summit and recall what faithful guides had taught them on the rocky paths of learning, and finally at the appointed time all thirty-one had reached the City of Success, and just inside its glittering gateway, Opportunity accosted them. No one is allowed to stay in my fair city 'unless he proves to me that he will be a public benefit and not a public nuisance.

At once a slender gentleman, who had elbowed his way to the front of the crowd, began to talk: I will stand upon the street corners and sell Dr. Miles' Pain Pills, that panacea for all ailments to the sutfer- ing of your city. My .name is 'Wlilliam Beckham.

My fellow-countrymen, I am Wfilliam Carlson, the mighty orator. I have come here o'er rough and stony roads, but now I am prepared to sway the multitudes from raging fury to repent- ant tearsf, Next a graceful Iigure with rosy lips and delicately-tinted cheeks made her way into the open circle, and spoke in a rich melodious voice: M I am Mlle. Beatty, the world-famous actress, and though I'vc found that life is after all a gilded dream, I have at last attained the City of Success, and I can help amuse and entertain your people. An exceedingly beautiful lady, easily recognized as the former Ruth Goodrich was then heard: I have reached this city through the cir- cles of society. I shall be a leader to your women in all their clubs and improvement leagues. My name is Mrs. Ferdinando jones. A business-like man with a pencil over his ear next came for- ward: No one is so ignorant as not to have heard of the 'New York Limelight' I am Mr. IN. L .Combs, the editor of that paper, and I shall circulate among the inhabitants of your city good, clean reading matter. A high-pitched feminine voice then held the attention of the assem- bly: And all the readers of the 'Limelight' are well acquainted with the corner known as Miss McFarlane's 'Ifleart to I-Ieart Talks with the Lovesick., Disappointed in love myself, I have undertaken the noble mission of soothing 1ny fellow-sufferers, and I shall continue the good work here. Franklin Little next addressed the company: UI would have fol- lowed the dangerous footpath of philosophy and delved for sparkling jewels in the deep abyss of the unknown, but that road led far from the City of Success. and now by a scientific application of the art of hus- bandry I am prepared to make the fertile soil yield sustenance unto your peoplef' A gentleman who measured close to seven feet in height then spoke: I will go from door to door and acquaint the housewives with the merits of Anthony Binghanfs latest work called 'Happy I'IOl'llG.i It is impossible to keep house without this book.

Let me lead the people of your city in the paths of righteousness and duty. A skinny, jovial fellow next spoke: l'It is true that men need spir- itual enlightenment, but there is another, equally important side. of their nature, and it is that which I develop. I am Macques I-Iardy, the author of 'Stealthy Si' of the funny paper. A golden-haired young lady, dressed in a gown of latest fashion, then came forth, and turned from side to side to display the dress from every angle. I am Miss Bernice Karr, she said. I shall stand in the show windows of your department stores and show to the admiring public all the latest gowns from Parisf' A man carrying a pick and shovel over his shoulder then addressed Opportunity. The streets of your city must be kept clean and free from weeds ,the ditches must be unobstructed by stones, and the roads clear of rocks. I am Lester Sutcliffe, the expert ditch digger. Let me pursue my occupation here. A dashing cowgirl, flourishing a revolver in her hand, rode into the circle on her spirited horse and spoke in a loud commanding tone: S' Let dauntless Sarah keep away the outlaws and theibandits. Let me ride about the outskirts of the city and protect it from all harmf' A low musical voice was next heard: I ang Miss Lewis, the fa- mous elocutionist. I shall instruct your people in my wondrous art. Listen, while I give a reading. just as she reached the climax of the tale, the spell-bound audience was startled by a terrified scream, and turned to behold Mrs. I-Iarry Marvin fainting in her husband's arms, so overcome was she at the tragedy told. It was generally thought that this was due to her senti- mental nature-a natural outgrowth of her character as a noted musi- cian. I-Iowever, Miss Blanche Tuncil, the physician immediately came forward, and in a moment the lady was revived. The doctor spoke: I have shown you, Opportunity. how I can help your people. As attention was directed toward him, it was Mr. Marvin's turn to speak: At last I have attained the City of Success through my art of prophesying the weather. I shall tell you when the storms and when the sunny days will come. A neatly dressed lady then made her way toward Opportunity. I shall be of service to the women of the city. I can make them exquisite gowns and every one will wonder at my skill. I was known among you as a maid called Esther Manlovef' For a moment there was silence, then a feminine voice, sad and low. was barely audible: 'C I am Wiidow I-Iazel Glanville. My husband died of a malady of the ears. and in memory of him I would establish in your city a home for the deaf and dumb. Another lady immediately spoke: My name is Esther Ritzman. I. too. would give joy to the suffering. By following a long and tedious path, I have learned to be an expert cook. Let me make the inmates of Mrs. Glanville's institution happy by preparing for them delicious food.

Soon a lady spoke: I would show your citizens all the beauties of this life by painting for them wonderful pictures. Every one knows what prominence the name of Isabel Taylor has gained in the world of art. Another lady stepped into the open circle: I have reached the City of Success by teaching children in the school throughtout the country. I am your schoolmate, Francis Norman, and I would instruct the youths of the city in the way of learningf, A jolly young woman, carrying a large box, next came forward. 'I You will be surprised to know that I am 'Skinny Meansf for I have become a naturalist and a student of bugs and worms. Come and see the specimens in my box. Oh, Olpportunity, let all the people bring me samples oi the bugs which molest their gardens, and I shall tell them how to kill the pests. ' Mr. Charles Wfalker then arose to speak: H I have risked my life to save others many times, and where there is a burning building I am always prompt to rescue those who are in danger. Let me be chief hreman of your city, f As he finished two red and white clowns rolled out in front of Opportunity. Hfliiin and Ed! was the universal cry. After giving a short performance, they spoke in one voicef 'A XYe can give the people all the sport they wish from morn to eve. A gentleman who had hitherto remained in the background then came forward, carrying a queer looking pan attached to an electric motor: I bring to you the Sinden patent dishwasher. Many other such devices have been tried and have failed, and I have been taunted and ridiculed for wasting my time, but I bring to you a perfect model, which will completely eliminate the clrudgery of dish washing. Only one person was left, and Opportunity beckoned him to her. I-Ie came carrying a note book and pencil. H Here is my achievement, said Alden, displaying the book. I have taken down in shorthand every word here uttered. Can you deny me entrance to your city P For a moment all was silence, and then the white-robed Oppor- tunity addressed the company: All of you are well deserving of the right to dwell within the glorious City of Success, and through your own persistent eiorts you have earned the sparkling gems of I-Iappiness, which I myself place in your outstretched hands.

Xllith full realization that nature has endowed this class with abnormal devel- opment in the three aspects of human life, viz.: body, mind and soul, we hereby devise and bequeath these heritages to future generations. XfVe bestow our several attainnients where most needed, and where they will bring forth the greatest good to posterity. Upon the 'lluniors we settle our physical powers as demonstrated upon the gym iloor and athletic field, a possession they have long coveted. To the Sophomores we be-- queath our moral power and mastery, viz. : our ability to resist the allure- ments of frivolity and pleasure, as evidenced in our resistance of more than one date a month, joy rides, moonlight picnics, et Cetera. And lastly to the Freshmen we leave our unrivalled intellect, trusting that some day they may orate in the halls of Congress or bring honor to their nation as eminent engineers, physicians or statesmen.. Individually the following bequests are made. Mr. lra Thomas hereby donates his O, S1 S. pin to Miss Mary XYalsh till death do them part. That bond of secret sympathy which binds heart to heart and soul to soul is hereby bequeathed by Ruth Goodrich and Claude Ray to Ruth Ross and Hunter Palmer, with fond hopes thatthey, too, may know the joy of anticipated union. Mr. Hardy, our distinguished financier, settles his habits of strict economy upon his counterpart, Oscar Swanson. Miss Marion MacFarlane gives the original manner of arranging her be- witching curls to Estelle Frey. Of course Eistelle doesn't have to forfeit her own originality. The intellectual attainnients of Theo Emmerson and Alfred Sinden are bestowed upon Fara Dozier and Allen Mickle. Hazel Quinn beciueaths her Sphinx-like silence to Professor Enos Lau- terhach. Nina Means donates all her unnecessary flesh to Roy Thomas. Realizing that size is a great help to a presidential candidate.

This gave the other classes 'a little idea of our strength, and naturally they treated us a little better. From the begin- ning we had the booster class of the school, and consequently the High School has grown in numbers and departments since we came. The second year of our attempt to vanquish the fearful foe of knowl- edge was very profitable. At that time only eighteeninembers had dropped from the class roll. Although we did not come First in Armory Ball in the Sophomore year, we put men on both the Debating and Bas- ket Ball teams.

W ' ' Along with the great school spirit with which we uphold old Canonf' we have great' individual ability in our class. In the Cadet Corps our boys rank next to the Seniors. Among our number are not a few who are gifted with much musical ability. From our numbers come the followers of art, literature and oratory, and we also furnish some of the school's best athletes, as four out of five of the Basket Ball team are juniors. Cn the whole, the larger part of our class are good all-around students, and we are glad that some of our boys are still with us after the scandalous acts of the Senior boys when they wore those red and white ties to school. l I The junior Class in their struggle to climb to the greater heights of learning, always have and always will strive to hold high that noble and illustrious banner of the Silver and the Gold. i O. B. S., '18, junior History by a Senior. Wlhen school commenced in September, three years ago, a troop of little boys and little girls was seen wandering about the building. Upon inquiry, they said proudly that their papas and mammas had sent them and that they were Freshmen. ' We of the upper classes. to an 'indi- vidual, loved children and thus from the first we were constrained to treat these Freshmen with great gentleness. Moreover, they were ap- parently well-behaved and docile children, and it did our hearts good to see them gleefully skipping about in the innocence of their youth. But, alas, their difficulties were soon to begin. Knowledge surely did prove to be for them a fearful foe. Before the end of the first. year eighteen of their number had succumbed and had been forced to drop behind their fellows. In the Cadet Corps, however, these children, now become juniors, have managed, we must admit, to retain their allotted position next in rank of the Seniors. This is very fortunate, for it would have been rather disgraceful for them to have surrendered that position to the younger children. , It happened that we of the Senior Class decided, toward the hrst of this year, to wear red and white ties to school. For some reason, the Juniors seemed to take a dislike for red, perhaps in behalf of the cow, who is one of their number and a great favorite. Because of the sort of paternal interest we have always felt for the Juniors, we disliked to annoy them, and we removed our ties. It was truly amusing to observe the youthful pride which the Junior members assumed after this occur- rence. They appeared to believe it was entirely their efforts which brought about this action. Their, amusements have always been extremely varied. Some like to draw pictures, some to sing songs, and some to write stories,.and they have always been quite happy and contented. It is practically certain that such dear and well-bred youths and maidens never will come to any serious harm, and we sincerely, hope that next year they will protect others as they have been protected.

Then a Good Fairy saw them and shooed them all up to their perches. After they -had settled down, each on his own perch, preened their feathers and twittered to their neighbors by way of socia- bility, they began looking around for the. Crumbs of Knowledge. For had they not heard wonderful tales of Delightful Dainties stored up for them in this House which the Good People had built? As they had come from different nests and trees of the Valley in the Great Hills, they were shy of one another just at first, but soon they learned to sing sweetly all in unison. Most of these Snowbirds, however, had learned to Hy and scratch for Crumbs of Knowledge in the friendly branches of the four famous old trees. Off course this doesn't mean that the members of each family looked alike. O! No! Some had curly feathers and seemed ahnost as wise as Owls. 'They were very hungry for the Crumbs of Knowledge and devoured them most greedily. Some were demure little birds with Huffy, light feathers. Very daintily they picked up the Crumbs and swallowed them all with a little sigh of satis- faction. One bird with dark brown' feathers swallowed Crumb after Crumb without any effort at all. One little bird was somewhat different from the rest. In every Flutter of her shining brown feathers mischief seemed to be lurking, and she was known everywhere for her ready and happy chirp. Another little bird was plump and round and blessed with a very happy disposition. Some were very vivacious. They hopped, chirped, twittered and fluttered until all the Good Fairies nearly had nervous prostration. All the birds had to go to different Baskets for the various kinds of Crumbs. W'hen the little Snowbirds first tried to go from one Basket to another they were sure to get confused and sometimes lost, and then the Owls would hoot at them! They tried their best to swallow all the Crumbs they could, to please the Good Fairies. But of all the things they were not permitted to do! Never a friendly twitter, not even a flutter of wings, no time to be spent in preening feathers. Hour after hour they must sit, wearily scratching away after those everlasting Crumbs of Knowledge. Then if, to make life less monotonous, they indulged in an unwise twitter or a careless ,Jw ix A - .-..' 1 A 1 . '.:zi'.j it H- t'l.'g'9J3 Ni. --f- -F' wink, the Fairies would turn into terrible Goblins and the poor little birds almost died of fright trying to dodge the flying Demerits. Some of the Snowbirds were very greedy and whenever a Good Fairy held out her Basket of Crumbs, they would push in eagerly and get so many that they almost choked. Others cared nothing for the Crumbs and wasted them foolishly, so some of the Baskets were taken away, and the poor little birds grew thin, although they did have more time for twittering and tearing paper into tiny bits. Some of the birds choked on Algebra Crunibs. and others had-indigestion for weeks at a time because of the tough Latin Crumbs. They suhcered all kinds of pain from overeating in the English Basket, but they were always glad when they could go to the History Basket, for there the Crumbs were spicy and sweet. llfhen the little birds first flew into the Beautiful Birdhouse, they were eager for the Crumbs of Knowledge, but by the time Spring came their wings had grown still. and they longed to get out in the sunshine where the grass and flowers were growing. Soon the days became longer and warmer. The birds were glad because they knew that when warm weather came they would be free to do nothing all summer long but chirp and twitter and sing joyous songs.

J- rf,- ilitary Canon City High School and It has piox ed to be one of Q N the year'I9o3.military training was introduced intoithe 0 L Ui iii 'T Lf., the leading activities. It was lirst under state super- vision, and before the guns were furnished only setting up exercises were used. As long as the organization was controlled by the state the ammunition was fur- nished by the school board, but in 1915 it was placed under Federal control and all the ammunition was furnished by the government. It is hoped that next year the Cadet Corps may be placed under the supervision ofan army ofhcer, and under his leadership the organization should reach the highest possible standard. Through the splendid co-operation of the ofncers and privates a splendid standard has been maintained this year. In order to obtain. more interest in drill, competition was started between the squads, and each member of the winning squad is to receive a bronze medal. Each corporal is working hard to make his the winning squad. Target practice is running rather close, so that it is going to be hard to decide who will win the medals. Stormy weather has caused a great deal of delay in target practice this year, but it will be given special attention during the last few weeks of school. The military organization was placed under a handicap at the be- ginning of the school term, due to the absence of Colonel Harris, who was on the Mexican border. Upon his return, military drill began in earnest, and he started a school for commissioned oflicers, as well as continning the school for non-commissioned ofhcers, which he started last year. Colonel Harris has introduced several new movements into the organigation this year, such as guard mount and parade review, and the battalion formation has been used a great deal more. Every member of the battalion wants to thank Professor Gambill for the interest which he has taken in the military organization, as it Was due to him that drill was undertaken this year. The two companies are working hard to win the competitive drill this spring, and every man is sure that he is in the winning company. In many ways the Cadet Corps of the Canon City High School is an organization of which the entire community may well be proud. It has made a gentleman out of everycadet who has graduated from the school. s WV. C., ,I7. .2 - -L2 ..

Athletics were started this year with an inter-class armory ball tour- nament. Two series were played ohf, with eight games in each series. The Juniors came out ahead in both, with the Sophomores a close second, and Seniors third, and the Freshmen fourth. This ,tournament helped to get the fellows in trim for basket ball and base ball.

Only one member of the last year's team re- mained, and none of the boys who were on the team this year had played together very much before. However, the boys organized themselves with Mr. Hogle's help, and started practice rather early. Two or three times a week they took long hikes, such as to Y. M. C. A. Peak, Fremont Peak and over the Skyline Drive. This developed endurance, for which the boys were thankful later on in the season. After a few weeks of practice, the inter-class basket ball series started, in which the Juniors came out ahead. Froni these teams the school team was chosen, and the practice was then begun in earnest. The games of the season may be scheduled as follows: C. C. H. S. 47, Alumni 38 Uan. IJ. . C. C. H. S. 15, C. F. Sz I. 29 CJ211'l.QD. , C. C. H. S. 22, Pueblo Central 21 C-Ian. 123. C. C. H. S. 37, Pueblo Centennial 30 Clan. I3j. C. C. H. S. 23, Colorado Springs 39 Uan. IQD. C. C. H.

The two most notable games of the season were those played in Pueblo against Central and Centennial High Schools. Our boys XVOTI from Central by a score of 22 to 21, making this the closest game of the season. The night after the Central game the Canon team played Cen- tennial on its own floor and won the game by a score of 37 to 30. This is the first time in the history of our school that our team ever went to Pueblo and carried away two games. It is also the first time that Cen- tennial was ever beaten on its own Floor. The 1916-1917 season of the C. C. H. S. .basket ball team was the most successful that Canon has had for many years. O1ut of the twelve scheduled games, nine were won, making an average of 750 per cent. The members of the team think that they would have had a still more successful season if Parks had been able to play all the time. However, the two leading newspapers of the state give us first place in the Arkan- sas Valley and second place in the state. These papers are the Rocky Mountain News and the Pueblo Star-Journal. Mr. Hogle, who was our coach at the first of the season, was a good man for the position, as he knew the secret of coaching and surely gave the team a good start. He was well liked by the fellows and they appreciate the time and attention that he gave them. Mr. Hogle was forced to leave before the team had played a scheduled game, and so could not see the results of his work, except when we played his team at Las Animas. Mr. E. A. Lauterbach took Mr. I-Iogle's place, and to him is due some of the honor which the team has received, for he has done as much, if not more, than any man on the team. Une of the main reasons of his success is that he associated with the boys as if he were one of them. The following is a clipping from the Rocky Mountain News, the largest paper in Colorado, which will show what the best sporting editors of the state think of the team: The Canon City basket ball team has had a most successful season. Out of twelve scheduled games they won ninel They defeated the Centennial team of Pueblo in two games and were the first team to vanquish them on their own Hoor. They also defeated the Central team of Pueblo on their home floor. The defeat at the hands of Central on the Canon floor, is accounted for by Finis Parks, captain, and according to several sporting editors all- state center. not being in the lineup because of a sprained ankle. The two games that were lost to Colorado Springs were by the closest scores that team has had this season. The score at Canon City was 22 to 39. Though not having participated in the state tournament at Denver. Canon City, by comparative scores, by the class of teams defeated and by the showing against Colorado Springs High School, is entitled to ex' V f -. . I i . A, .

' Brief mention is due each 1TlC1T1lJCl' of the team. Pinis Parks, No. I. Junior and captain. Parks was the only old man on the team this year, and of course the other members of the team looked to him as an example, in training as well as in playing. He filled his place in both respects exceptionally well. Parks was handicapped almost the entire season on account of a sprained ankle, and was not able to play in three of the games. It was always the ambition of the opposing teams to get Parks out on personal fouls, and so their Hrough- ing was centered upon him, but as he was a clean player, this happened only in the Colorado Springs game. - Clyde Ray, No. 2. Forward and sub-center. He -hlled his position with remarkable ability. The team always looked to him to make a part of the score by free throws. In this he established a record that very few ever come up to, getting 592 per cent of his trials through the ring. He will be on the team next year, and will be a strong factor in it. Claude Ray, No. 3. Forwardl Ray played in all of the games and was a steady man and always had a few goals to his credit at the end of each game. He was a strong factor in the one defense play which greatly helped in holding down the opponent's score. Our one regret is that he is a Senior and will not be here to help make a winning team next year. Kerfy Corrin, No. 4. Standing guard. H ere is a man who has tried hard and has certainly made good. By his steady playing and excellent headwork he has made a guard which any school would be proud to have on its team. Kerfy has always been the best man for strict training. Allen Mickle, No. 5. Running guard. Mickle is the man who helped Corrin hold down the number. of the opponents' goals. Neither one of these was very effective alone, but when they played together they made a defense that the opponents found hard to get around. He is small in stature, but always on the job, and his opponents scored very few points. Earl Tomlinson, Malcolm Carlson, David Parks, and Carrol Templin were the four subs. These men have all been faithful to practice and training this year, and will be valuable to next year's team. BASE BALL. ' The base ball season for last year was started rather late, but after a little practice a good team was developed. There were only four scheduled games, two with Central of Pueblo and Centennial of the same place. Both of the games with Central were lost and both with Centennial were won. The only noteworthy event was the game withCentennial at Pueblo. This is the best game that the Canon team ever played, and perhaps the best high school game that ever took place in Colorado. The game ended in a tie after sixteen innings had been played, with a score of 5-5. It took over three hours and a half to play it. Tfhere were few errors, and many brilliant plays were made. The tie was played off on the Canon ball Held a few weeks later and Canon came out victorious 23-6. NEW M ,332- ' .f, Aki- ' W ,, . - . ' iiif .

The girls did not get started until late in the sason, but with hard practice they soon developed a good team, with which North Canon would not be afraid to meet any girls' team in the state. The girls played but one game and this was with Buena Vista. In this game the girls surely showed how they could play, for the score was 54913 in favor of the home team. Individual mention is not necessary, for all were good players and showed a good understanding of the game. They have a bright prospect for next year, and if they can get a schedule they will show that the Canon girls! team is a winning team, as well as the lnoys'. 3 P- C.

For unto mortals even by the Glympian gods themselves gath- To serene Urania, muse of Mathematics, and to Erminia of the glib Latin tongue, was entrusted the care of the sisterhood. And maidens demure enough, and yet not too demure, wise and charitable, yet democratic, were chosen, even these: Irma of the cherry lips and lightning mind, Perlita of the nimble feet, she who delighteth mortals in the dance, Hiazel, she of all maidens most favored with the gift of gabg Mary, Francis and Isabel of the Titian locks: Helen, the creator of sweet sounds, Theo, gifted with knowledge, yea, all knowledge of the vvorldg Marion, likened unto Venus, Whose beauty and thrilling voice ensnare the hearts of men and immor- talsg the three fair-haired graces, Helen M., Bernice and Esther M., Grace, she whose name was ma'de immortal by the ditty entitled, Tim, O, How I envy Him gn Isabel, who like Minerva, presides over the useful and ornamental artsg Esther R., the demure, who in her studious zeal burneth more midnight oil than the gods allot, Ruth G., who alone can distinguish C. Ray from C. Rayg Maxy, like unto a modest violet: Ruth R., to whom Apollo has given the gift of eloquence: Mary WV. and Pau- line, the last to be honoured as guardians of the sacred apples. In the season when leaves wither and grain ripens, when unto him whose acres are broad cometh a deep feeling of thankfulness, and unto him who hath not, cometh a dread of the cold winds and biting frosts, the kind sisterhood took thought of those whom Zeus and Ceres had not blessed, so they proclaimed unto the multitude, each sepa- rately. By their efforts was gathered a great store of food and clothing, and this store the sisterhood, aided by chariot driving youths, divided abundantly among the needy ones. Clothed in the garb of their order, all snowy white and golden, met one morn in the huge assembly hall the favored of the gods. XNith song and music of the harp and recitation delighted they the huge throng assembled there. Despite the many pleas of smitten youths who pined in vain and begged, even as little children of an indulgent mother, that they might be mice caught in The Mouse Trap, the maidens remained 'firm and claimed unto themselves the sole privilege of liysterics and leaps to lofty heights of safety. Listening unto the counsel of Hermes, trickster of the gods, the unsuspecting maidens challenged the Forensic youths to a debate. But alas! on that memorable day when the great multitude hearkened unto g r ll ered in council, was decreed this sisterhood. X xl 1 ' , ,,. 'il Q at . V V f ' 'Q 'T- .

The multitude marveled at the roar like that of a lion which issued from his throat, and at the wondrous leaps and bounds which he executed back and forth across the platform. Thus these wiles won the favor of the honorable judges and thus the fair sisters suffered defeat. Then upon them fell the duty of preparing for the youths a ban- quet, As when a flock of hungry sparrows swoop twittering down upon a field of grain, so into the banquet hall Huttered the gay youths and maidens. And then was spread before them a feast like unto the nectar and ambrosia of the immortals. Sweet music crowned the feast, and then departed the happy youths and maidens each unto his home. So. favored by the gods, has Hesperia grown and flourished and unto her maidens is vouchsafed wisdom and understanding beyond that of or-- dinary mortals. ' H.

Wlhen your principal, Mr. Gambill, informed me lasttevening that I was to address this assemblage, my feelings were mm- gled joy and misgivings. I was joyful, as I always am, when requested to speak before High School students, because I am al- ways reminded on such occasions that I am addressing the budding citizenship of this grand and glorious country of ours, that I am bringing a message to those 'who will be the men and women upon whom our nation will have to depend on the great tomorrow. But I was also filled with misgivings after my interview with Professor Cfambill, because I feared the thoughts I should be able to present this morning might not do justice to the occasion. However, I trust-I know, in fact-that you will bear with me and be patient while I make just a few short remarks. It might not be erroneous to say that the most worthy feature of my talk is the subject I have chosen, which is: K' The Forensic League and Its Accomplishments. It is not my purpose to eulogize this institu- tion, laudable as is its every aspectg but instead I will merely state in a conipendious manner some of the most interesting facts concerning the society, with which, I daresay, you are already acquainted to some ex- tent. I The Forensic League was formed in the fall of IQT4 under the supervision of Prof. T. D. Harris, which latter fact in itself was quite auspicious to the future success of the league, The object of the club was primarily to develop among its members ability in public speaking and to produce each year two debating teams sufficiently well informed upon a certain question, and sufficiently well trained in delivering their NEI! .AZ nv-,i cfiffegg, I A-.Jigs-,-::f ,J if , 5.1 W X A Q, +1 X .s -.- -V ,ui.f- -S r-+!5 LFk..,-'vi-a..,,p P, --. -Th -- , 014. u V S X! . -,ping ..,iw-up -V L., , Yt.1,,1- .

And,'would you believe it, my dear young friends, this loftyand magnanimous aspiration was accomplished ere the first reversion of the season. QLoud applausej. But the culmination was reached the following year, when both Canon City teams were awarded unanimous decisions. Now, as you doubtless know, if it had happened that this victory had been a mere piece of good luck, the next year, that is to say, this year, would probably have seen as overwhelming a defeat. XVas last year's success, then, simply a result of chance? The facts speak for themselves. s The question for debate this year was compulsory arbitration in labor disputes. The two teams chosen were: Affirmative, Franklin Little and Alfred Sinden versus Denver, and negative, Hunter Palmer, winner of the Hardy gold medal, and Max Hardy versus Pueblo. Those were the teams-but these were the decisions: Pueblo vs. Canon, one to two in favor of C. C. H. S.: Denver vs. Canon, unanimously in favor of old Canon High. CViolent applausej. Surely the students of this high school should be eternally grateful to Professor Harris, the debating coach, for these victories, which were directly accountable to his diligent efforts. Now, last, but not least, I am going to tell you something about those hig events which the Forensic League plan every year, and which, by virtue of the good times they produce, are so effective in keeping the club roll to its full capacity. The events, about three of them per annum, consists usually of banquets and picnics. This year the regular annual banquet was held at the McClure House, and in honor of Lieut. Harris upon his home-coming from the border. There was also another banquet given for the Forensic League members by the girls of the I-Iesperian Club. To describe these two functions in detail is needless. It would be but to give you descriptions of magnificent and very en- joyable affairs, and I feel sure you have all heard such things recounted before. Now, my time grows short and I must close. CAh! How much time have lf, Mr. Gambill? All morning, you say ?j VVell, I can see that you are all restless with anxiety to be again at your studies. QLaughter and vigorous shaking of headsj. just one more thought regarding the Forensic League and I am through, I will recite a short poem from the works of our eminent American poet, Henry Ford, and I am sure you can all readily see its connection with your debating league and its accomplishments. A To keep a Flivver on the run Is sometimes hard, though it's begun, But the biggest job's in starting, So when a good thingfs under way, Don't let it have for a single day From it's motive power a parting.

There are two classes of thirty-eight students taking the first course, and one class of eight girls taking the second year work. The girls of the advanced class have accomplished a great deal in both sewing and cooking. In the former division of the Work they have made micldy blouses, Woolen dresses, and white waists, among other things. In cooking they have had valuabl- lessons in menu making and serving. Miss Linkins' immaculate kitchen continually reminds us that good cooks must be good housekeepers. Very tactfully she also teaches us that a good seamstress is not a gossip. Wfhen there is a tendency to speak a little too personally about some one not present, a wee small voice is heard from one corner: Is it kind, is it nice, is it true?', Soon the conversation is about the weather. The Senior girls have had two very prolitahle and enjoyable years in Domestic Science, and as long as they live will have only kind, nice, and 6'true thoughts and words for Miss Linl-:ins and her depart- ment.

'lirst the equipment was installed in the basement of the 5 n '43 High School building, which was inadequate, and this t if led to the construction of the Manual Training building. DK - This building was completed in january, 1916. At once ' the department was moved to its new quarters and equipped with the most modern machinery, and now it is up to date in every respect. Manual Training is begun in the Seventh and Eighth grades. These students are given one hour and a half once a week in elementary Bench Wiorli. In the High School the course is a regular two years' course. The hrst year's worlc consists of elementary Cabinet Making, Wfood Turning, and beginning Mechanical Drawing. The second year they take up advanced Cabinet Making, Mechanical Drawing. XVood Turning, and Elementary Problems in Architectural Drafting and Construction. The Manual Training Classes are crowded to their greatest capacity, Many students have been disappointed in not being able to enter any of the classes because of the lack of teaching force.

Unquestionably the most important object which Manual Training work accomplishes is to compel the child to think. It forces him to 'create a mental picture of the thing which he desires to make, and it compels the thought to be dehnite and complete. Wfhen properly carried on, Manual Training ab- solutely forces the pupil to think for himself. It forces him to make his image so definite and clear cut that a model can be made from it. Man- ual Training develops habits of neatness and order in workmanship, and brings to him a realizing sense of the vafue of labor and the possibilities which intelligently applied labor may accomplish. During the present year the High School students have turned out many practical and useful pieces of work, such as library tables, cedar chests, dining room chairs. buHets, library lamps, bleachers for the Gym, sewing tables for the Domestic Science Department, and many others.

I-I l l it S 1 f I .: L N GIRLS' GLEE CLUB E music department of the High School has consisteal of three divisions this year, Chorus, Girls' Glee Club, and Boys' Glee Club. Splendid interest has been main- tained in these organizations throughout the year. There were one hundred live students in Chorus the first semester. All four parts of a mixed chorus have been in evidence. Our High School is to be con- gratulated upon having such a line Chorus. Some of the most important selections that have been studied are Excelsior, In Spain, XK7agner's Pilgrim's Chorus, Oh. Thou Sublime, Sweet Evening Star, and The Song of the Triton. The Girls' Glee Club had a registration of thirty-one students the first semester and thirty-four students the second semester. Good work has been accomplished, the balance of parts being commendable. U The Nightingale and the Rose. La Paloma, Little Cotton Dolly, G-leani, Gleam, Oh Silver Stream, and Gui' Alma Matern are of the type of music studied. A Boys' Clee Club was organized soon after the opening of school, with an enrollment of twenty-live. The boys have found much pleasure in this new branch of their school work, and have made good progress. They quite rivaled the girls in the Glee Club concert given in assembly on December the eighteenth. Miss Helen Linneer has been the very eflicient accompanist for these organizations, and she has contributed in no small degree to the success of our music department. All of the organizations have been under the direction of Professor Tom G. Taylor, and have been very successfully conducted during the entire year. 1 X-E., -1 . ue h e-ie - - f- i .xi-.. .wi-'-N., .1 F '--'P --, - - f gf , -,-, feet? , ' ,4- , fwv' ' 4 . 11- f aw.: 1, - .us-152'-uf-i-D-...f f' . 4 Af I.- ,Tu h -V W. :num : 1-,,,....i,.

Commercial Department found that a new course of study had been added. Very pleasant rooms had been finished up and furnished suit- ,ej K ably, so that the Commercial Department was frilly es- tablished. For several years past there had been some commercial subjects taught, but never until the above course was added did we have what might be called a complete practical course, This year two new subjects, typewriting AST fall when the students returned to C.

The stenography course was greeted with great enthusiasm. The school never had so many post-graduates, and a great many of the regular students scheduled for the new workg but one by one they began to drop out, until by- the end of the year there were but eight faithful stragglers in the shorthand class. f The Gregg system was taught, as it was believed to be the most practical method for modern day use. Mr. Lauterbacli was a strong believer in the fact that short and easy lessons never made a stenogra- pher, and he guarded very carefully against letting us get an impression that shorthand is an easy course. The typewriting room at the beginning of the year was equipped with six machines of standard makes, but the force of students increased so rapidly that before a month was over itwas found necessary to buy two more. We believe the new commercial course to be one of the best im- provements ever added to the High School. Many great men of na- tional rcputation began their careers as stenographers orf office assist- ants, and found this one of the shortest and safest roads to commercial success. Commercialism so entirely controls the World today that the individual without some knowledge of business and business methods is left behind and forgotten by the trained man, and We feel confident that there is no better place to begin to learn such methods than along with the high school work.

The students took a great interest in this and a large number tried out for it. Those chosen to take part were Franklin Little, jack Boucher, and Hunter Palmer in the first divisiong Ruth Ross, Ruth Goodrich, and Marion MacFarlane in the second divi- sion, and Calista Burns, john Edwards, Earl Fulkerson, and Alden Eaton in the third division. An enthusiastic audience was present at the Methodist Church when the contest took place. The judges awarded lirst place to Franklin Little, Ruth Ross and John Edwards. The prizes were 'tive dollar gold pieces given by Mr. Geo. F. Rock- afellow, Mr. Hunter Palmer, and Mr. George Vtlhipple for the three di- visions respectively. Mr. Rockafellow offered a prize of ten dollars instead of live if the students would write their own orations, and not merely memorize great masterpieces, as was done this year. The con- test is to be an annual affair, and next year the students will undoubtedly take advantage of his generous offer. Contests similar to this one were conducted in South Canon and Florence, all three being under the efficient supervision of Miss Osborne of Pueblo, A triangular contest between the winners in each school was then held at the Methodist Church of this city. The auditorium was hlled with enthusiastic rooters from all three schools, Miss Ruth Ross of C. C. H. S. won the dramatic division, South Canon the oratorical, and Florence the humorous. A silver cup was presented to each school, having engravedupon it the date, the name of the school, and the name of the winner. Que ot these cups will not be the property of the school until it has been won for three years. The cup won by Ruth Ross was especially beautiful and was pre- sented by the First National Bank of Canon City. It is hoped that we may be able to keep it in the posesssion of the school. The great enthusi- asm over the contest and its marked success are due in a large degree to the efforts of Professor Gambill, who took an especial interest in this feature of the yearls work. adj ' T e . ,X -V T Q - . - .-.1 -4. f ' ry' 2 ' . -s.AQpi ' ff ' -j1l..- - ' ,- 4' A-- Senior Class Play A SCHOOL FOR SCANDALX' By Richard Bwrinsley Sheridan.

' A One day Mr. Ray Qnot Claudej who, you know, had ,452 published arithmetic texts for years unnumbered, hav- J I2 ing no new ideas for problems, sat in his office racking A Q2 gk QA' S' N N his brain. He racked and racked, until weary from ' thought, he fell into a trance. Mr. Ray was a man of very prosaic temperament, but on that day Romance took pity on him and appeared to him, bringing him a dream. The figures in the dream were thirty small children fdistributed in various parts of Americaj with thirty frowns on thirty small faces. They were sitting at thirty small desks poring over thirty small arithmetics. Mr. Ray was happy to note that the arithmetics bore his name. His happi- ness, however, was short-lived, for as he looked, little Theo Emmerson of Canon City, a passionate lover of Romance and sentiment, threw down her book and burst into tears. At once Alfred Sinden, also a pas-- sionate lover, rushed to her and ohfering her consolation, demanded the cause of her grief. 'f The dull monotony of the multiplication tables is beginning to tell on my liner sensibilitiesf, she answered. Willy don't they get something new? At once Bill Carlson of Kansas and Harry Marvin of New Brunswick, Canada, stepped over two or three states apiece, and simultaneously suggested that they petition Mr. Ray to introduce a human element. It was hailed with joy. Isabelle Taylor of Texas Creek, Colorado, noted for quickness of motion and fleetness of foot, was at once dispatched eastward to carry the sacred petition to the author of their torture. just then Mr. Ray woke up. He was a changed man. Romance was euthroued in his heart. He wept bitter tears over the years of wasted opportunity. i Looking at his calendar he saw that he still had a few months before his children should take up his arithmetic in the second grade. Feverishly he wrote some fascinating problems, each in itself a little story, beautiful in thought and language, but with the finish left to the youthful imagination. The char- acters were named Wlilliam, Henry and john, the first two in honor of the youths who had been the inspirers in the vision, and the third to add more life. It takes three to make things interesting. Thus was the statement problem with the human element originated. Thereafter for six years the children kept company with John, Wfilliam and Henry, until at last they were becoming tired of the con- stant association. They settled wrangles over marbles, decided who should have the largest piece of apple, who could do the most work and who the least. Still restless for Romance, they wandered about until. with the exception of a few, they arrived at C. C. H. S. The resources of Mr. Ray. meanwhile, had been exhausted by their eager minds, and ,,.'l ,Q Elgin, ' 'xj,,f-ss, ,XTR-X-.. , 'jf ff-21' Y '- 3, . -, Q, , ,- fe- e-- .. ,-, .t X .. . .. .. .I,,,',Ng -, wb mxffffz-'N Hawkes, Luby, and Touton stepped up to take his place. These men had heard of the class of 1917 of C. C.H.S., and had prepared accordingly. On a September morning of IQI3, when the students opened their new algebras, lo! john, Henry and William were gone, and the pages were tracked with A's, B's, and C's. A really was the same as john, B as Henry, and C as W'illiam, but the letter instead of the name added mys- tery. lVe have told the story of the creation of the human element, now let us follow its history to the close. Many and fierce were the contests waged in Freshman algebra between the three characters. Their occu- pations and bones of contention were many and varied. They ran races, pumped water into cisterns, dug ditches Qtheir favorite pastimej and rowed up and down rivers with swift currents. The pity, the injustice of it all, was that A always won, while C, a weakling from abuse, a nervous wreck from pumping water into leaky cisterns and always rowing against the current, always came out the loser. Friendly at first, the Freshmen, after millions of statement problems, learned to hate the three characters bitterly. In vain they tried to kill them by neglecting to change a sign or remove a pair of brackets. They even deliberately omitted a decimal point or purposely worked a problem so that C came out ahead of A. Long looked for relief did not come even when they became Sopho- mores. A, B, and C were ever present, A as great a bully as ever, and C, though growing weaker, apparently in no danger of dying. To the very close of the Sophomore year they stuck to the suffering students, in spite of the desperate efforts of the latter. The mathematicians per- ceivediithe trouble brewing, so NVells and Hart invented a Geometry in which all the human elements had to do was to stand guard over angles of the triangles. The juniors were jubilant. On into Solid they went, A, B, and C still at the angles. And so they came to May, 1917. VVhat should do they do with their old friends? Leave them to the ten- der mercies of herce Freshmen. No! Rather kill them. One raw spring day they took poor C out without his sweater and tenderly exposed him to the weather until he died of pneumonia. A, retaining his spirit of contest. proposed that after C's body had been laid in the rectangular parallelopiped for burial, he and B, in two hearses should race to the cemetery. True to precedent, A was going four times as fast as B when his hearse broke down. A's mangled remains rolled into the river, where they still rest. B, wild with grief, threw himself into C's grave, 'Wfe suppose he's dead, too, now. 1 I. M., ,1'7. 5'eav.Q+y is Hs own Sailor Grirfis. podlcmc? excuse for being.

SINDEN Debate fifrom the Daily Record of March 26, IQI7D One of the most brilliant victories that the Canon City High School ever won was achieved last Saturday-evening, when its debating team defeated both East Denver and Pueblo Centennial High Schools. In the Methodist church of this city Alfred Sinden and Franklin Little, debating against Harold Birnbaum and Howard Viclcerey of East Denver, vvon the unani- mous decision of the judges, while in Pu- eblo Hunter Palmer and Max Hardy de- feated their opponents by a vote of two to one. The victory here was the more re- markable because the visiting team repre- sented the largest and one of the most ef- ficient high schools in the state and because they were young men of exceptional ability in the arts of logical reasoning and public speaking. The affirmative of the question. 'Resolved That the United States Should Adopt a System of Compulsory Arbitration in all Labor Disputesf was upheld by the local team, and the negative by the Denver boys. 1 - f ' 1--4?-ll h -f-f----WLS is . - . - L f- ,. 1, r'r:..,,1---- I,---f. f -f rf.. H ,,V-- -- ' Franklin Little, the first speaker on the aflirmative, showed an unusual com- mand of the English language, and his clear cut, forcible sentences, together with his logical reasoning, made him a foe not easi- ly coped with by his opponentsi Perfectly at ease on the platform, and with no notes about his person, he made a great impres- sion on the judges as well as all present. Alfred Sinden, the second speaker on the affirmative, also showed a thorough knowledge of his subject and spoke with- out hesitation, sending his points straight home to the judges. He rose to the height of his power in his witty and clever rebut- tal when he answered extemporaneously a number of questions which his opponents had haughtily handed him, and skillfully proved the false impression given by a large chart which they had proudly displayed. Hunter Palmer and Max Hardy won their decision from the Centennial team be- cause of superior logic, more forceful argu- ment and better system in placing their matter before the judges. They outclassed their opponents both in their construction and rebuttal speeches. Mr. Palmer displayed especial ability inhis rebuttal talk, knocking the pins from under every argument advanced by the Pueblo- ans. Mr. Hardy shone best in his construct- ive efforts. making a splendid impression with both the audience and the judges.

He has gained the honor and respect of both the students and the faculty, and by his friendly smile and jovial good nature has won his way into the hearts of all. The boys and girls have always been ready to help him in whatever way they could, and thoughts of him have kept many torn bits of paper from going on the floor instead of into the waste basket. On cold winter mornings a crowd of shivering students on the porch eagerly awaits a tall, smiling figure which comes to the door, watch in hand, and lets them in promptly at 8:45. They are grateful to him for the warm neat rooms which they enter. Many a breathless girl or boy who arrives at 8.59 I-2 or 1:14 3-4 heaves a long sigh when he sees Mr. I-Iarvey's reas- suring smile, and knows that the tardy bell will be delayed just long enough for him to slide into his seat. -v-.,.., MR.
