born in Farmington and came up from the grades. Beulah is our class secretary and artist. She is also a very brilliant student in languages and mathematics, and well deserves the honor of Valedictorlan. Rhea, the Tom Sawyer of the class, always has the best of grades, and is our class musician. Carolyn is famous for her musical and dramatic accomplishments, and her poor grades in deportment. Vergie is our quiet member, but nevertheless she is a good student and is loved by everyone. Robert Duncan joined the class in October of 1920, entering our school as a senior from the Des Moines, New Mexico, High School. He is a good student, is the editor-in-chief of our Annual, and is known to all for his singing and broad grin. Warren Gibson was born at Beulah, Colorado, where he received his first schooling. Later he migrated to Dayton, New Mexico, from which place he came to Farmington and entered the High School as a freshman. He went to the City of Ruins for the Sophomore year and the first half of the Junior, but returned, much as the prodigal son, to share the feast of semester exams. which Father Salisbury had ,prepared for him. The 'author of this article was born near Waco, Texas, and completed the grades in the Laplata rural schools. He has always been with the class, and has a remarkable ability of getting out of everything by paying the penalty. V The Class has now arrived at the parting of the ways, and will begin preparing for the various pursuits of life, which we sincerely hope will be as pleasant as the four years we have spent in the Farmington High School.

The class started its high school course with a membership of fifteen. After undergoing a process of natural selection and elimination and re- ceiving certain well-merited and valuable additions, it is, at the period of graduation, composed of three boys and five girls who are entitled to receive the long coveted diplomas. During our entire course, we have been a very peaceful and har- monious body, always working for the good of the school. Through our support the school became prominent in athleticsg and we also played a prominent part in getting the High School placed on the approved list of accredited schools. We are now seniors, having overcome all obstacles which stood in our way to attain an education. After leaving two of our loved members by the wayside, we are graduating with six of the original freshmen members. Among our many attainments is the honor of being the second editors of the Naniskad, which we hope is a decided success as a true representation of the merits of our school, and our school life. Of the graduates, Dorothea Graham will always remain in our mem- ories as the Senior class president and a student of exceptional ability. She was born at Marlow, Oklahoma. After attending three different schools of that state, she went to Durango and then came to Farmington. We do not know why she stayed here, but suspect that it is because she wished to graduate with an intellectual class. Beulah Walker, Rhea Tice, Carolyn Hill and Vergie King were all Eleven
