(Willi Apologia lo Kdgar Allen Poe.) Once on ;t September morning:. Freshmen in our grreenness scorning All tho verdure ever seen on meadow green. or hill before, I'p the street with trembling:, fearing, and the school house slowly near I tit?. While tin- upper classmen Jeering, jeering, as so oft before; Then we climbed the stairs and entered, with our eyes upon the floor. And the unknown books, and teachers with their stern and classic features, Thrilled us. tilled us with fantastic terrors, never felt before; So that now to still the beating of our hearts, we stood repeating. We will never stoop to cheating, and our minds will always soar; And we'll always strive to be good and Increase our knowledge store. Ah! distinctly, we remember, the first day Prof. Cole did enter. And said. Rise and pass to Room One, there be hooted by school lore.” But Miss Carroll had prepared us—she the one who never scared us. And into Room One we fared us—fared us. not the least bit sore, For their verdant cries wore drowned In cries of '09. evermore. And that year, as we recall it. ah. may nothing worse befall it. Still Is famous for canned Freshmen, those whose minds had failed to soar; But the truth is. they were napping, and when Knowledge came a-rapplng. And so faintly she came tapping, tapping on their chamber door. That they scarce were sure they heard her. so were cast from out the door. Sometimes into our books peering, sometimes wondering, sometimes fearing. Sometimes dreaming dreams no mortals e'er dared to dream before. Thus In High School passed our first year, ended tip our course as youths mere. Then again, without a fear, but thinned In ranks with courage more. Hied us back to climb those same steps. Superior Sophomores. Green no more. Back again to otir books turning:, all our souls within tis burning. Soon wo learned that our Miss Jenny would no Ion nor guide us more . Hut Miss Scott with ceaseless grindings, through the pathless English windings. And Miss Taylor, all eyes blinding, with her undent Latin lore. Both untiring sought to Instill knowledge into every pore. Finished was our Grecian History, Greece and Sparta now no mystery; Then Canzada aiding Archie, and both Walter on the floor. All the bright Athenians nettled. Bex and Oltn plainly settled. Although Alice said she yet held points to bring us to the floor. But the banquet which they promised, we shall look for evermore. Then we Sophomores all beguiling, our sad fancies into smiling. Bald our fifteen cents that took us on a hay rack rid - no ho re. Though the seats were hard and narrow, built all Sophomores to harrow. Still with no thoughts of the morrow, and all happy to the core. We returned to town to vote It better than all else before. Much wo marveled that Just one year, could have brought us all so much cheer Though all rejoiced when school was ended and final examinations o’er. Yet we cannot help agreeing, that no living human being Was ever yet more glad in seeing, school time roll around once more: And with happy hearts we entered, glad to all be back once more. But alas, this was a sad year, for Miss Bindley to us all dear— She had left us. her attentions on those more worthy to outpour: But Miss Carlson soon appeased us. and Miss Law also soon eased us. For when e’er hard problem seized us, she would work it o'er and o’er. While Prof. Dodds, with sermons many. Increased plant and insect lore. Shall we e’er forget the parties, or fhose verdant Freshmen smartlcs. Who waylaid the boys and rushed them through back yards unknown before? These, their hearts to shoes down sinking, all betook themselves to thinking. Fancy unto fancy linking, how to get back gore for gore. And induce those rude young Freshies, that they bother us no more. Mill the Freshles soon retired. left tin l� oys—some of them—mired, Silll lIn se same Rood upper classmen no profaneness did outpour. While they nursed their euts anil bruises. Although Charley still refuses To tell why he had the blueses'' when he found his lips sore. Vet they all forgave the Freshmen, and they bothered us no more. One more year had slipped behind us. when we all began to mind us. That our Junior sehool days we soon would longer know no more; So by awful horror haunted, yet with courage all undaunted. Sat us down to exams, wanted—wanted so they'd soon be o’er. Then vacation being ended, hurried hack for one year more Now we all are Senior haughty, e'er forgetting Jill things naughty. For laugh we not at Rex In ehem. or tease the Freshmen more. All enjoyed the Junior party, we return them thanks most hearty. For not one of us were tardy, the next morn as oft before. Hut all sleepy and all Joyous and all happy to the core. And our High School many shielding, now occupies the building. And our teachers nil together number up to half a score. Some have left us. some have entered, all their thoughts together centered. And all likewise dearly mentor'd l� y Prof. Cole the Kit me as yore; And we'll all as one regret It. when our days with them are o'er Yet our courage never flitting, still we hope is sitting, sitting. In our Senior hearts the same as in our Freshmen days of yore. And our eyes we still are resting, on our Ideals still attesting. That our souls we still are testing with our dreams the same as yore. And our minds with hope and murage shall he lifted evermore and Senior Class Prophecy SCENE—A ravi'rn. Several witches gathered about, a cauldron. mysteriously chanting their dirge: I Collide, double, toil and trouble, Kin Imrn and cauldron bubble. ’ There is a mighty bubbling, and I see before me a city street. There is a familiar look about the person of the dog-eateher. He is eoniing closer. Who is he? Now, I know, he is my old friend, Hex. And the policeman pacing his beat; oh. In is Charles Norine. A pop corn vender on tin corner and a dago yelling his shrill, “sella-da-banan are also familiar. Why, they are (lien and Arthur. Around the corner conics a professional “weary willie, a member of the “Idler’s Club,” his name is Clin. And tin Salvation Army lass walking side by side with tin woman sutVragist is Itowena. Her friend is Winifred. The tire dies down and I again become conscious of the dirge, “Double, double, toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble.” There is a mighty bubbling and 1 see the interior of a theater. Tin play is by “The Married Kachelc.r Comedy Company,” and the matinee idol is ho other than Stuart; the prima donna, Signo-riua Carazzio, is Miss Seovill of my school days, and among the chorus of the “(iirls of Coo-Coo 1 recognize Edna, Canzada and Mabel. I also again become acquainted with my old friends, the Webster Sisters. ’oq )udl. now acting as toe dancers in the same 11 uniter, and the little sonhrette is no other than Aliee Marsh. Kven the soaring rapid looks familiar, ('an it In that he is Anis? And tlm girl usher is Bessie. How many friends would I have met. had not the lire died away? Still I am not to he disappointed. A low boiling is heard in the eauldron and a strange street with strange signs is disclosed : “Howell Miller, the Famous Bearslayer. Results (Vrtain. “Headache, the Most.

Through the mist—or is it dust?—1 s( o a race track; 1 hear tin million slang expressions of the track and I see Walter Le Clere on his little stool, a “Ixvoky,” jiikI (lit jockey giving a tip to the “greenhorn is diaries Miller. The steaming ceases and within the cauldron is si peculiar spirited glow, a warmth and depth almost sis of a sunset. I see it picture land with it picture sea and a picture sky. It is Japan, and the figure outlined against the old Pagoda is Evelyn. A smile is oil her lips, 31 smile telling of truth and loyalty and aspiration. She is quite solitary; but is not solitude a teacher? And has it not taught her much of which she did not know before—of qtiiet cheerfulness and dear unselfishness; of a life poor in earthly goods, but rich in thought, and deed? She 1ms long since grown accustomed to the “corns on the ear.’’ And is there not a savor of tin wind that she sends to me? What! She has disappeared, leaving me alone with the burned out cauldron and the empty cave. And can it be the savor that sin brought is only the wind and the monotone of the rain on the lonely heath? The Senior Play LL INDICATIONS promise to make the play, to be given by tin Senior Class of ‘OP, the most successful one ever produced in Grand .1 unction. The cast is well chosen and the talent of each seems well adapted. Everyone manifests great enthusiasm over the outlook and all are working with a vim. “The College Widow” is one of George Ado's most successful comedies and lias scored several eventful seasons, being considered a play that can enliven anyone who is not otherwise inclined humorously. It is primarily a play which shows the College Spirit of today. Modern athletics, college stunts and sparkling stage pictures make “The College Willow the most popular of Ado's works. The play will probably lie given two nights, May 24-25. This is done in order to accommodate the large number of patrons who in years past have not b« en able to secure seats. The work was commend'd under the direct-ion of Miss Lindley, whose ability in this line is well known. Hut as her duties began to press she found that she would not be able to keep on with the work and she was forced to resign, much to the sorrow of tin clas . gestions and her work was appreciated by the class. She was succeeded by Mr. Arthur Wake, an elocutionist of marked ability and experience. .Mr. Wake lias worked hard with tin cast and a great success is predicted. The class have found Mr. Wake nice to work under and his work has proven very satisfactory.

Commencement IVeek ££ay 23 The Junior-Senior Masque Party S WE CALL TO MINI) the events of tin past, we have most, pleasant reeolleetions of the Junior-Senior Masque party, giv-en February 13, by the Jniors in honor of the Seniors, at the La Court hotel. It might, be sai l that the La Court hotel has never sheltered a more conspicuous group of young |H ople. The costumes were unique and not carried to the extremes, but as every person has certain characteristics different from those of others, it is difficult to remodel the gifts of nature, such as feet, and thus many of the mysterious characters gave themselves away. So the story goes. At last, after a long suffering, in which many perspired freely, the masques were removed and the door leading into tin banquet room was opened, and before the eyes of the guests were tables, l eautifully decorated with cut dowers and the walls decked with red hearts, in honor of St. Valentine. Owing to the rush for places at the tables, there were several mix-ups and several young men and their respective lassies got separated. When the ice cream had melted, the cakes had disappeared and all had partaken of the delicious refreshments. the tables were taken away and the games started. First we saw Stewart Lyons and Lillian Sawyer disappear, no one knows what for, but � n their return, lie was minus a carnation and both had a guiltN look. lie said that, it was worth a carnation, anyway. Howell Miller then attempted to hold hands with Maude Griffith and Harry Andes got sore, and in the purchasing of girls at auction (lien Nelson fuih-d to get Jeanne and in bis agony pretended to have a headache to get away for a few minutes. Miss Scott and Miss ('arlson acted as chaperons and entered into the spirit of the occasion, having as much fun as the younger people. The loud clamor gradually died down (much to the pleasure of the hotel guests who desired to sleep i the guests departed and the party, which had been pleasantly anticipated for so long, was over. The Seniors were very grateful for this little affair and voted a hearty vote of thanks to the Juniors, who had been so hospitable. 1 09 Woman s Way lie askwl her if sin Iovi d him, Ami she laughingly said, “Not I.” TIiimi sin Mushed mid nestled closer And lie blessed her for the lie.

Junior History 1110 Y10AK 1809 was marked by the birth of more illustrious characters than any other year in history. Nearly a hundred years after this 2111 event occurred which places 1906 fin aliovc 1809 or any other year. This event was no other tlistn the entrance of 21 new Freshman class into Grand Junction High School. What 21 curious and questioning set they were. Yet a look of deep understanding underlaid their outward appearance. They were ;i 11 rough diamonds, so to s|M 2ik, needing only 21 little cutting and polishing to make the best article on the market. Who could tell how many Sheakspeares, Gladstones and Wehsters would he developed from this class? (Note—They already had 21 “real, active life sized” Newton. I This development consisted chiefly in the “Literary Society” where for six consecutive programs we heard Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address from the 1 ips of aspiring young orators. nce, indeed, two little patriots delivered the same address on the same afternoon. Ah! those were days when the enthusiasm of the speakers would often rise to 21 Patrick Henry decree and when ilu delight of rlie auditors was evinced by lit!I squeals and giggles. Hut all this happened in tin Freshman year. We must now view subjects as they were when we wen Sophomores. What a change. Every boy had his hair eonibed and shoes polislied at least onee a week, yet these were not the only improvements. Those who, as Freshmen, Insisted that they had Ihhmi out to two “whole” football games now, as Sophomores, turned out to EVERY game and yelled “Rah, rah, rah, Junet ion as big as anybody. It was here, too, in the 10th year, that the marked originality and the extraordinary genius of one member of the class became manifest. Even Miss Scott said that it was remarkable that so young a person should have so wide a knowledge of tin drama, etc. Hut in other directions those history makers branched out. They even took a flying leap into society with a banquet, a forfeit paid to the victorious Spartans from tin Annual Spartan-Athenian debate. This banquet has since become an annual affair along with tin debate. Hut the time passed; the final examinations came and after three months rest came another year of school. The same old class, many of whom had lieen together in school for eleven years, again began the once monotonous, but now the pleasant, routine of school life. Things were changed; that “kiddislf and “kittenish” attitude had given way to a more thoughtful and serious one. A quiet dignity had replaced the former carelessness. Kiftv earnest; voung people buckled tlowu to work with greater energy than ever lief ore. Kleven years nf training taught a lesson, a lesson on eoiieentration of the niiinl. The student had learned that his hour of eeneentrated work now accomplished as niueh as two hours had formerly done. And is not this an important factor in education? It was here that the loss of Miss t'arroll, that serious, earnest, yet fun-loving timelier, was felt. (Amid the pupils, who for two years had lieen under her, become reconciled to her absence? It was she who was never too busy to explain, who always greeted every one with a smile and who lielieve.l in fair play and a square deal. It was she who gained a friend with every new acquaintance, it was she who by her w inning ways captured the Deputy District Attorney of Mesa county with the best wishes of her many, many friends. In a few months we will step into the positions so well filled by—The Seniors. We will be the largest class ever graduating from the school, as is the one this year. It is up to the class mcmltcrs to make records as a class than as numbers. Heretofore they have respomh d to every call, yet it remains to be seen whether or not they will rise up to this greatest emergency. The opportunity is waiting them; they have only to make use of it. In seeing our comrades for the past three years pass from the school, there is pain in our hearts for vi� have had good times together and enjoyed each other’s society. Wo wish them all the luck of a future course and know that they will he lad that they are graduates of (Srand du net ion High School, as we At an evening party the guests were asked to take part in a game in which everybody was to make a fare, the one making the worst face winning the prize. It seemed as if they all did their worst. Then tin judge went up to one woman sitting otT in a corner and said “.Madam, 1 think you have won the prize.

Sophomores 1110 MEM HICKS of tin Sophomore Hush are the wise mcmltcrs of that which was the Freshman class the year liefore. As they are more advanced in years so are they molt advanced in wisdom, wit and humor and thus a smaller per cent, of them fail to make their required average of seventy-live for their year's work, as do their younger brothers and sisters, the Freshmen. In the Sophomore class is found the best natured, jollies! and most rule-abiding set of pupils in the four years of High School. They come from their several homes into the school room with smiles on their faces and a word of cheer on their tongues' end for all they meet daring the day. When the teacher says, “Less noise, please, less noise is made and the ticking of the clock is heard once more. Thus they are and thus they have been for the past three years. The captain of this year's football team was chosen from the Sophomore class. Captain Caldwell. One of tin big events of tin Sophomore year is the “Spartan-Athenian debate. This debate is held between two Ancient History classes, about three weeks after the course in Greek History doses, giving tin debater's ample time to prepare? the ir material. It. is always understood lietween the e lasse s that the losing side is to treat the winning side in one way or another. The subject for the debate for the last three years has he e n : Resolved; That Sparta was O miter Than Athens. The ('lass of 1909 held their debate, putting up strong argument on each side, making it an uneasy matter for the judges to give a just decision to either side. The debate was finally decided two to one in favor of the affirmative. Tin debaters on the affirmative were, Walter la Clere, Canzada Hampton and Archie Wells. Those on the negative were Olin Whittemore, Hex Arthur and Alice Marsh. A committee was chosen to find a place and a time for the treat, but nothing could In found, so later the Athenians gave a party for the Spartans at the home of Charlie Xorine. The Class of 1910 held their debate one dark blustering afternoon, commencing at two in the afternoon and ending it a little after five . The subject, for discussion was the same as that of tin year before. The arguments waxed hot, each side bringing out many strong points for their defense. The debaters on the affirmative were, Lawrence Carnahan, Mary Kaiser and Harold Aupperle. Those on the negative were, Orville Hutchinson, Frank We aver and Lucius Currier, all being exceptionally strong speakers. The judges were , Ke� v. J. A. He e ke r, Miss NVIle I). Scott ami Judge Sullivan. The dc cision was given in favor e� f the affirmative , mue h against the opinion of the audience . A few weeks later the Athenians treated tin Spartans to a tine banquet in the Margery Hall. Many witty toasts were given. Bentley McMullin was tin toastmaster of the evening. The Class of Bill held their debate one dark rainy afternoon, Great preparations had lK en made for this annual event and thus a warm discussion was promised. The speakers on the affirmative were Elam Underhill, Melville Hilly and David Mitchell. Those oil the negative were, Walter Nelson, I ona N oils and Ruby Cox. Those on the affirmative were exceptionally shrong shakers, especially the last mentioned, who, talking for over an hour, stated that lie had only just begun. Kveritt Mu tiro was the president of tin debate. The judges were, Rev. I). I). Forsyth, D. 1)., Rev. Munro and II. L. MeClintock. The debate was decided in favor of tin affirmative. In a few days each member of the Spartan class received an invitation to a banquet at the La Court Hotel. A more glorious sight was never s en than the Sophomore class at the banquet table. The decorations of the room were strings of ml hearts hanging from tin ceiling, those of the table were carnations. After the banquet, which consisted of eight ionises, was served many witty toasts followed Philip McCarv was the toastmaster, he being especially witty. The toasts were as follows: Esther Norim gave a toast to the boys, this being responded to by a toast to tin girls by Bov Caldwell. Genevieve Stone gave a toast to the Spartans, Elam Underhill responding to this. Clarence Carnahan av'' a toast to the Athenians, this receiving a respond bv Walter Nelson. The last was a toast by Melville Dilly to “Our ‘Ancient Teacher’ of History.” The response to this was given by Miss Oil]patrick. I he banquet then broke up and the young people returned to their homes at an “early” hour. The good order in the hall was nothing of which the class might have lxx n ashamed. 'Ilu months of February and March were taken up with the study of the play of “Julius Caesar.” The two strongest characters in the play are Brutus and Cassius. A debate was held between the two English classes discussing the question: “Resolved; That Brutus of the play was a stronger character than Cassius. Many strong points wore brought out on both sides. The decision was in favor of the negative. A quotation contest was also held between ten members of each class. The quotations being taken from “Julius Caesar and memorized. Any person repeating a quotation went down. Fach side fought bravely till at last only one member of Miss Scott’s class, David Mitchell, stood against Nina Burton and Marcidns Murphy of Miss Carlson’s class. David stayed with them bravely but soon went down, giving the victory to Miss Carlson’s class. Much class spirit is aroused in these class debates and contests and we only hope that the Sophomore classes to follow may have as much class spirit and loyalty to the school as the Sophomores have had for the last two years.

Some of us came from tin country in sunbonnets, with appealing eyes and a piling nose. Others came from town in inkspot caps and liorrowed dignity. We who wen so very fond of the Freshman studies, or teachers, as to In staying with them the second year, were very much in demand. From all sides (picstions were hurled at us. Some were, “Ain't this awful? “Aren't you scared?” “Is there anything here that's a snap? To the last question we, speaking from last year's experience, said, “Take hugs. Iteally, we didn't mean to prevaricate, yet we've iieen punished for that error. We followed our own advice. That first morning! Ye gods, what an ordeal! At each door was stationed a teacher, a watchful, cunning teacher. All classes were culled into Assembly Itoom. We, the little fr shies, came last. The Seniors chanted an mid, monotonous dirge about our greenness. May some one forgive them for it. We never will. Why, oh why, did our feet f el so large, our freckles so conspicuous and our hands so numerous? We have a literary society. Three times has each little future President or President's lady moved to the front with wavering steps, and faltered out ______$)uill. something wliicli did credit to the tminer. We have colors, beloved blue and old; we have a name (Who knows what?) and we have our “ownest teachers, .Miss Taylor, .Miss (iilpatrick, .Miss Decker, Miss Lewis and Mr. Dodds. Nevertheless, much as we love these, we are in danger of soon becoming those most dreadt� d things. Sophomores. 1IHLHX STKYFXK.

The games were played with Delta, the first, here, when they brought their excursion on the memorable “rainissimo day. Owing to weather conditions the game had to he played in Margery hall and the hugest crowd ever witnessing a basketball game in the city was present. The girls not being accustomed to smooth floors played in poor style, and owing to the accuracy of the Delta center were defeated by the score of 1( to 5. Our girls were weak on basket throwing but the work of Gaptain Wilhelmy and Ouard Ruth Newton was worthy of praise. The next game was played tit Delta, preceding the football game. The first half was all Delta, but the second proved to lx the fastest exhibition of basketball ever witnessed there. The score was 11 to 2. A great amount of credit is due to the faithful coach, Miss Garlson. She gave much of her valuable time to the team and had they only been as faithful in their practice as she was in her coaching there would have lieen a great difference in tin scores The line-up was as follows: Victoria Wilhelmy, running center and captain. Laura Rhone, standing center. Guards—Ruth Newton and Ethel Adams. Forwards—Ganzada Hampton and Frankie Rlaisdell. Prior to tin season of 1908 the championship aspirations of the Grand Junction High School's foot-hall team were confined to a few schools of the Western Slope. The 1905 champions were Aspen, the G. J. “Tigers wrested that honor from them the following year only to lose it in 1907 to the Delta “Huskies. Efforts to secure games with teams of the Eastern Slope proved fnitile, they laughing at our super-ahundant supply of nerve and lack of discretion. However, they finally condescended to humor us, with what results will he shown later. The past year was an epoch maker of local athletics. With an auspicious opening we passed through flu? humiliation of hitter defeat, finally emerging amidst splendid victories. The school hoard was very fortunate in securing the services of Sil Bernard as coach as he proved to Is a most efficient handler of the team. He had the confidence of the Ih vs and worked hard with them. To Bernard should go a great deal of the credit for the manner in which tin season ended. A very brief resume of the season follows: In a couple of listless games with the Indians on September 2(5 and Octolier 24. the “Tigers’” early form began to make itself manifest. The team had little trouble in defeating them. On October 10th in a game more one-sided than interesting, the Montrose Aupperle, Mgr. Ramey. Miller. Budelier. Hinca. Arthur. Barber. Pearce. Miichrll, Caldwell. Lynch. Hatch. Handel. Ryan. McCary, LeClete CWINO PHOTO team l� it into Grand Valley's fruit-producing dust and emerged defeated by (In score of 54 0. The school now began to look forward to a very successful season. Della came next, as did their expenses and the rain, but they did not bite the dust, the licld lieing covered with a foot of water. This was a bitter disap|� oint ment to the team, which was full of ginger and was going to tight for the game of its life. On tin last of tin month, accompanied by over a bundled rooters, the Tigers' betook themselves to Delta, where by the tickle decree of luck they fared much as did the Commoner a few days later, and, like him, they still wonder how it happened. The poorest condition of the season, lack of team work, and an exceedingly sandy Held contributed, but did not entirely explain the adverse score of 17-0. In the town of Monerose, on November 21, occurred the great st surprise that ever victimized the Junction team. Confident of an easy victory, from the experience of the game of 54-0, the boys were in anything but proper shape for a gridiron struggle, while Montrose had discovered a coach who was every inch a coach. They carried us off our f « t before wo knew what had happened and after the first few minutes of the game, though we clearly outplayed them, our lack of ginger prevented us from retrieving the one touchdown which they made early in the game. This defeat, by putting the Tigers on their mettle, paved the way for a triumph which meant much to flu school. On Thanksgiving Day, the first time a uip -and $)uill. Colorado High School team had ever crossed tin divide to play an Eastern Slope team, in a fast, spectacular frame, (Vntennial High School, Pueblo, paid ns homage in the ratio of 5-0. This was a glorious day for Grand Junction. The score did not show how badly we outplayed tin Pueblo lads and had it not been fen their captain, Quarterback Hopkins, the score would undoubtedly have been larger. Pueblo played a strong game, but were not as fast or as clever with the forward pass as our hoys. After viewing the forward pass by Kamey, the eyes of the Eastern Slope people began to open and their praises of the local boys clean and gentlemanly playing were expressed later. Gratifying as was this victory, it was equalled, if not surpassed, nine days later, when, without any intervening practice, thinking the season over, the “Tigers dashed with the Colorado Springs “Terrors, the pride of Colorado, and who for the past four years had held the state championship. They had just returned from a tie game with Delta. The score was (� - � , but this by no means tells the story. Only once did tin visitors make their downs, while the home team was rarely obliged to resort to the boot The “Tigers. by terrific line smashes, end runs and cleverly executed forward passes would force the pigskin within striking distance of the goal line but would lose it on some technicality. The “Terrors” touchdown was made on a tluke, just such an accident as may happen in any football game. After this game the Eastern Slope began to A9 $)uill. awaken and realize that there was a football team in Grand Junction. Grand Junction is justly proud of her football learn. By the admission of the captain of the far famed Terrors, by the admission of their home papers, it is definitely proven that Captain Caldwell's boys outplayed the “Terrors . l ongmont defeated the •Terrors” 12 to ( , and Longmont holds the championship of the United States!!! The following statements taken front an article mi the “Centennial” Magazine arc very significant and need no comment: “Their line is the strongest in the state. The Grand Junction boys are a team of gentlemen and never directed a play against an injured (Vntcnninl player.” Having made good the first time we were ever given a chance to prove our worth, tin question—will next year’s team bo able to sustain our present standing, or even add thereto; is an interesting one. In addition to the loss of five seniors, Handel, Miller, Arthur, LeOlere and Uyun, fullback Ifiamey will be barred on account of scholarship, Barber will not. be back and then4 are chances of a few others sharing the same fate. There were but a few subs who gave promise of possessing first team ability, and the squad will therefore by necessity be composed of new and raw material of which there is an ample abundance if only they can In enthused with enough spirit to get out and work. The old men who will Ik back are Captain-elect McOary, Caldwell, Budelier, Hatch and Hines. In conclusion wo sen no reason why, under the leadership of MeCary, a football man from head to foot, and under a eoaeli of Hernard s caliber, that a team which will rank among the best in the state will he secured. WALT Kit LE CLEKE, « . The personnel of the team: Captain Koy Caldwell, right half back, played a consistent game throughout tin season and used excellent judgment in the running of the team. He is a player with a snap and clash and is a valuable addition to any team. Ed. ICvaii, quarter hac k. The work of Kyan was nc of the features of the football season of DOS. He used excellent, judgment, handled the forward pass to perfection and made many brilliant runs which won games. He made the scores at Pueblo and againsi Colorado Springs by a clever quarter back run and his all around work was a revelation to all who saw him play. LeClere and Handed, tackles. These two men must be classed together fen they showed up the strongest of any tackles in the state and Eastern Slope football men stated that they we re undoubtedly the best tackles in the state . Their offensive work, Handel making the hole, and newer did he fail to make it, and LeClere plunging through for consistent gains was feared by all teams, lie was the terror of both Pueblo and Colorado Springs and liotli � . L II. S. tackles outplayed their tackles in the Colorado Springs game, these being considered the all state men. The loss of these men weakens the team considerably. Captain-elect McCary, End. McCary played the star end game of the season, his smashing tackles and clean handling of the forward pass putting him head and shoulders above any other end which the -Tigers” played. He will make an excellent captain for next season. Harney, fullback. Harney startled the Eastern Slope when he showed them that the Killies from the (Iraml Valley” could throw a forward pass forty yards, and throw it so there was always a man under it. It was the first play used in the Pueblo game and literally threw tin Pueblo lads off their feet. Harney was also one of the best ground gainers on the team and his line smashes generally netted good gains. Budelier, center. Budelier proved to be one of the fastest, most consistent centers ever playing here. His work was in class A” and he is a valuable member of the team. Miller, half back. Miller played an excellent game and his defensive work was worthy of praise. I Miring the latter part of the season his offensive work became very strong and he could be relied on for i gain whenever lie was given the ball. Barber, half back. Barber as of old was a man to be feared when he was given the ball for he was the hardest man on tin team to tackle and his speedy t mining and clever dodging made him a most valuable man. His retirement from the game materially $)uip and ‘09 $)uill weakened tin team and his loss will In felt next year. Arthur, end. Art has play(mI a clever game at end, always in the game and always fighting. His defensive work was excellent. Hines and Mitchell at, guards were exceptionally strong. Their work, although not so s|K ctacular as that of some other members of the team, was of consistent nature and they will make fine tackles for next season. Lynch and Pierce, substitutes. They did their share and whenever they played they could In relied upon. Quainl Questions “A lesson in time saves a lot of ponies.

In 190(5 there was no inter-class meet because there was not anough interest to jut if y it. The following year, a few enthusiasts, after an arduous uphill tight, succe ded in organizing a track team of considerable merit. In 1908 under the leadership of t'aptain Archie Wells, the best track man this school ever produced, this form of sport was placed on a firm footing. Two successful meets were held on the local grounds and two teams were sent away. The most popular athletic event of the spring is tin inter-class meet. Last year The Daily Sentinel offered a beautiful loving cup for tin individual winner of the largest number of points, (’apt Wells won this by carrying off four firsts and several seconds. A dual meet with the Indians was won easily by the high school, they getting first plan in every event except the half mile. A relay team consisting of Handel. Barlier, McSherry and Bover ineffectually leprcsented us at the state meet.at Boulder. Deciding at the last moment to compete in the Western Slope meet at (rlenwood Springs, the five men, Caldwell, Barber, Ruddier, MeOary and LeClcre, not. being in the best condition, having gone for a pleasure trip rather than for a grilling track meet while taking numerous seconds and thirds were unable to get first in anything except tin 440, which was won by L Tler For (liis year, 1000, LcClere, whose reputation rested on liis (juarter mile work was eleeted captain. As this is necessarily written early in the spring it is impossible to give more than a mere forecast of the season. An individual championship cup for tin in tor-class will be given by The Daily Nows. A Mesa county meet is lieing planned and will probably 1m held in Grand Junction. Teams will probably be sent to the Boulder, Colorado Springs and Glenwoml Springs meets. In spite of tin handicap of spring athletic's by the busy ending of the school term, and especially with the seniors, the prospects for a good all around track team are very bright. 7 he Cross Country R uns Long distance running, now so popular throughout the country, has locally more than held its own. Last year Barber won the first cross-country run, and 'Veils the second. This spring in the free-for-all Barber covered the four miles in 24:45, making a beautiful run. Aupperle finished second and Welsh third. In the handicap run, Barber having left school, Aupperle ran the course in 22:25, thus getting first time, (lex came in second and LcYan third. Knight won first place, Gex second and Aupperle third. W. LE CLERE, ’09. Field Day After several postponements on aceonnt of in element weather the Field Day was held April 20. '1 lie erowd was not as it should have been hut the meet was a good one. The Seniors won the elas champion ship, having 27 points. The .Juniors held 22, the Sophomores 17 and the Freshmen 17. Elmer Miller, tin- popular Senior, won the magnificent trophy eup prenented hv The Daily News, taking IS points out of a possible 20. ‘Zeke broke the sehool record in the hammer throw, throwing it 110 feet, 0 inches. Karl MeSherry's work in the 220 dash and 220 hi ml ltv was the feature of the day. By defeating Kyau in these events he showed that he will be an excellent track man for next year. Kyan made a record of :10 2-5 in tin 120 high hurdles and Faldwell one of :55.4 in tin 440 dash against Le Here's record of :56.

Miller won with three firili and a tecond Base Ball (irand Junction lii li school's baseball aspira-lions in years past have not reached championship degrees but on the opening of this season the hopes for a “snappy” team were very bright and the baseball enthusiasts started work with a vim. A large amount of material was on hand and practice was commenced about February 20. Lloyd Kamey, one of the best atliletes ever attending the local school and a pitcher of extraordinary ability was chosen captain, but on his withdrawal from school Harry Antics, Unpopular catcher, was chosen to take his place. A good schedule is lieing prepared, but owing to the early season nothing definite has been arranged. The services of Elmer Goldsworthy have lieen secured to coach tin- tram and by the manner in which the boys get down to hard work and snappy practice his efficient work will be apparent. “ � oldyv is an old time ball player and expects to develop a “cracking” good team. The finances of the athletic association being in a very depleted condition no aid could Ik secured, so the members of the team began a canvass of tin merchants for suits, each merchant buying a suit to obtain the advertising from his name on the shirt. The team is very grateful for this support and a vote of thanks has lieen given to the “boosting” business men. A few preliminary games with the Western I’ni-versitv and the Indian school brought to light the strength ami weaknesses of tin team.

The season is too young to predict the winners on the Western Slope, hut the Grand Junction high school baseball team will 1m in tin fight all the time and prospects look bright. £ a In the Good Old Football Days An embryonic orator remarked here some few month ago that � great milestone in our history will he passed tomorrow, which will long he treasured In our memories. hut the poor unsalaried scribe who was assigned to tin- examination of the said milestone found it to bo only a deserted old tombstone, beneath which were buried the hopes of an ovCrxealous football aggre-Ration, that perished from an overdose of 16 to o. How lovely the day: what a splendid mornlnK: bow eager tin-crowd that could not wait for the train to pull out; what an all of confidence prevailed: what a fine display of ribbons, arm bands and pretty banners, with no indications of tin- coming frost. Nothing worth mentioning happened on the trip over, that is to say. nothiiiK was observed, unless we refer to the Incident about the conductor insisting on one young man checkin ; his feet as baggage or pay double fare, but the young man linally escaped the heavy penalty, which should have been expected. or, let us say. anticipated, of a farmer living way off in the Plateau Valley, where feet and pumpkins grow profusely In the sand. And although The News' representative does ‘ not agree, judging from circumstances. It seems to me as ir that tunnel might be cut out.

Then came the football game, which Is already kicked-out history and will not be forced on this audience again; sufficient It is to say that our minds were disabused, ami after scrimmage and tackles and punts and touchdowns, our team went down In defeat, fighting gloriously for the honors that the Delta police force carried off themselves that night.

Whore shall I go to College, lx an all Important one to many a boy and girl at this season of the year. The cucstlon. too, has almost as many answer as there are colleges in the country, which complicates the problem still further. In Amorlcn there are two general types of institutions of higher learning: the small college and the great university. Authorities disagree as to which of the two types is the better adapted to the average boy or girl, but certain It Is that the small college, so-called, has claims which can not be overlooked or disregarded. Two of the greatest a Ivnntngcx urged In favor of the small colleges are. first, the close contact existing between faculty ami students, and. second, the unusual opportunities for forming close ami enduring friendships. Unquestionably these two Influences are of the utmost importance In shaping the future life of the college student. Happy Is that college of which It can be truly said that such Influences nourish there! Colorado College Among the splendid small colleges of the west. Colorado College. has no superiors and few. if any, equals. Its founders and builders were men of high ideals and lofty vision, who purposed to bring to the young men and women of the west the type of education ami culture furnished by our best eastern colleges. The Colorado College of today Is a monument to the success of their ••(Torts. Here are to bo found a college of Liberal Arts, together with schools of Knglm-ering. Forestry and Music, each department of which Is supplied with the best modern equipment. The faculties of these various schools, almost without exception, are composed of teachers, trained in our leading colleges and universities at home and abroad. Here are attractive residence halls which provide the young women of the college with a refined home life such as few similar Institutions afford. In athletics Colorado College is second to no school of its numbers in the west, while a chapter of the honorary fraternity of Phi Beta Kappa, hears witness to the scholarship of the institution. It may be said that the strength of any college or university lies in Its students and alumni. No more loyal and sympathetic body of men ami women con be found any where than the undergraduates nnd alumni of this college. Many of them have made and are making severe sacrifices In order to obtain a college training, but each and every one will tell you that It Is worth while. Before you decide to go elsewhere consider well the claims of this Institution at the base of Pike's Peak. Like many another you will do well to select Colorado College as your alma mater. University of Denver The University of Denver is the oldest educational institution In all the Rocky Mountain country and has made a notable record of achievement It has ten vigorous departments, with 17 � pro- feasors ami instructors In service, with 1400 student In all It schools, and with 1656 graduates. Four of these ten departments are at University Park, namely: The College of Liberal Arts, the Graduate School, the Preparatory School, and the Summer School. The six departments In the heart of Denver are the Colleges of Medicine. Dentistry. I.iw and Music, the School of Commerce, and the Sat unlay College for Teachers. The city is the natural location for a University. In the city, students are brought Into contact with the life of the world in a large way and enjoy certain educational opporunitlcs. out of that city life, which are impossible to be found In the smaller communities. The city of Denver Is conspicuously THE city in all the Rocky Mountain country. The graduates of the University of Denver are now found everywhere in the Rocky Mountain country. In Denver and in Colorado, they are more numerous than the graduates of any two other educational institutions of similar rank. Kven a football dinner will call together in Denver at least 300 of the 1656 graduates of the University. This is the more remarkable for the reason that the University of Denver has always placed the first emphasis on scholarship and character, and only in a moderate way has it ever placed emphasis on athletics. The University publishes six departmental catalogs. Any one of them can be had for the asking. University of Colorado, Bottlder I COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS. Courses leading to the degree of B. A. II.

Harold Aup) erle Idealizing the importance of pnhlie speaking in every day life, and the necessity of know in how, tin students of the high school have, for a number of years, endeavored to organize a club outside of the tegular required course whereby this particular branch might be more fully developed, t'nity, however, had been lacking, a definite head to bring those so inclined together, until this vear (1909) a leader was found in the person of Arthur .1. Allen. In his ambitious, business-like manner, he aroused the long smouldering spirit among the young men of tin High School and at the first meeting secured twelve charter members and arrangnl for a definite line of work. Thus the present “Philomathean Debating Flub ' was organized under President Allen and Secretary LeC’lere. The society has steadily increased in members until now the mcml er roll includes twenty-eight of the l� est young men of our High School. Vital questions of tin day are taken up at our regular semi-monthly meetings and discussed. Par-ramentary law, so essential in practical, every day life is also taken up and carefully studied. Monthly parliamentary law drills are included in our regular program. Festive occasions are no small feature of our club. Thus far we have met, on every hand, with unity and success. For the future, even greater work is anticipated. It shall be the endeavor of our club, hereafter to In represented, not only in local debates, but also in the annual state conti st, so that the work may he a credit to the individual members as well as to the High School.

Inn with all I In regret, of leaving there comes an element of pride and happiness to know that we have successfully finished our high school course and will soon l� e alumni. Our four short years have l een most pleasant, in fact, (in words of seniors liefore us) the shortest and happiest of our lives. We have heard many alumni talk concerning the pangs of remorse which would fill our hearts on passing into the world, hut we gave it no thought. The thought of XEYEK again being able to romp through the sombre halls, bluff or ride “ponies through our studies, and “raise rain in general, looms up liefurc us, with awful emphasis. No more will the dmnled “(’ plus make us take the test, no more will we be able to hear the musical voice of our principal relating his “exciting? experiences at Illinois. Fellow students, we must forego these pleasures and push our way into the expansive world. We have heard valedictorian addresses full of pathos, but these cannot express our desire to linger on the threshold of the obi high school building and be students a little longer. Our course has been most profitable, not only in book learning, but in the general knowledge of human nature. Itubbing elbows with our fellow men, tas one great philosopher has said.) is the greatest education, and by our social and intellectual mixtures we have been able to see into some of life's deeper things. THE OUTLOOK FOR Q. . H. S. With a reputation not surpassed in the state for work accomplished, with one of tin ablest faculties it. the country, a superintendent who conducts the school on a firm and sound basis, and a school board which deals with educational |uestions with business and practical sense, the outlook for our school could not be better. Our graduates are making marks in the world. The state educational leaders recognize «-ur scholarship as leading the state high schools and college professors have expressed their opinion that tiraml .1unction graduates are well prepared. In leaving this school, the senior class is very hopeful for tin greatest success for our school, knowing that there will be that success and in years to come we will be proud to say that wo graduated from Grand Junction High School. FOUR YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL As the timid, abashnl freshman, who, in the eyes of his parents is wonderful, but who. in tin eyes of the students is a ‘gr cn freshie and a recipient of ali the kicks and bullets of the term—we entered with only the usual show of talent, with a few brilliant in- dividualities. Our freshman year was tilled with unexpected surprises. We learned much and studied more. We tlurn passed into the sanctity of the much revered .sophomore year. Here we made life as miserable, ami perhaps more see, than hud be en elone with us, fur the incoming!: fre shie s. This was done in a spirit e� f re ve nge. nit her than that e� f eruelty. We began tee « :e� t ele e per into the scliewl life and enjoy our neighbor's company, (especially the oppeesite sex). Struggling through ('aesar and geometry, we finally landed with a bump in the junieer ve ar, which put us tee thinking that half eef our high seheeol course was finished. Ah, the abuiielant pleasures eef the junieer ye� nr. Nee theeughts eef senior's hare! work.

OUR FUTURE Loedv ahead, seniors, try to imagine what the eehl class will lee doing four years from new. .Mam art going to attend higher institutions of learning, the larger part state institutions. We are confident that the members of the elass of 1909 will prove a credit to the school. We are looking f«� r great things from some memliers of tile class, and surely believe that all will raise tin glass with this toast, God bless Grand Junction High School and the class of ’09. SCHOOL SPIRIT School spirit is the patriotism towards one's school and the desire , not to se e what you can get out of the school, hut to see what you can give to it. The year of 1908 09 has Im cii most productive of school spirit in all forms. The closing of a most successful football season, after defeating two of the best teams of the Kastern Slope, whom we had never played before, marked the height of school spirit. The students generally attended in good force, liel|H d out in the financial troubles, yelled their I test, es|tecially the girls, and congratulated the victors. Hut does this constitute school spirit? Surely not. When the team suffers a humiliating defeat away from home, when everything goes wrong and nobody is to blame, then is the time when true school spirit will show itself. After an unexjtected defeat, away from home, when the team was over confident, the students played the part of pikers . What should have been done was the gathering of a large crowd of rooters to cheer the team on its arrival and to tell them that they eon Id count oil their support. But wlmt really happened, was a small crowd of girls, thoughtlessly forgetting what the consequences might he, rim sting the team and wearing the other team’s colors. Do you wonder that the team was not full of ‘‘ginger” on its next practice night? Hut let us pass over this unpleasant incident, which speaks for itself. Orand dunction is noted for its boosting business men. Our merchants rank among the best in the state for putting this valley Ik fore the |M ople. The ('handier of ('ommerce is the boosting organization. Systematic advertising is done in a manner which gains results and good ventures and schemes are started. In this point the students of the high school arc weak. We need a “spirit making” organization. Why not organize a School Boosting Oub next year? A great deal more could 1h accomplished. THE FIRST G. . H. S. ANNUAL “Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see. Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e’er shall be.” —Pope. Early in the year the senior class decided that to leave an annual, which would be a credit to the school and class, would be thel cst kind of a memento. Tin class was enthusiastic over the outlook and told tin 1m ard to spare neither time nor expense. The board immediately “got busy”. The Annual board have endeavored to present to the friends and patrons of tlu school tin work, pleasures and accomplishments of i. J. II. S. and especially the class of 09. “Quip and Quill ' was chosen for a name, as it stands for the “harmless” joke and the writings of deeper thoughts combined. We hope for its success and that it may be a credit to the class of 190$). We wish to thank the business men for their staunch advertising support and are confident that their “ads” will bring results. HIGH SCHOOL STATISTICS This is the largest year in reference to attendance that any Western Slope school ever experienced. The total enrollment is 2N5, the freshman class numbering 114. the sophomores 01, the juniors 45 and the seniors 33. The freshman class swarmed” the school and made it necessary to use the entire building for the high school. They have tin largest class on the Western Slope and rank with a large number of the larger Eastern Slope schools. The seniors have the largest class graduating from a Western Slope school, but in years to conn each class will outnumber its precedessor until how large will the senior class be in 1920? It is reported that recently a Grand Junction girl auctioned kiss« s in return for carnations. Can such things lx possible in the home of tin fraud .function peach?’ —Daily News, February 17.

We recommend this volume as a great aid, but criticize the chapter concerning the helping of brothers with their lessons. EDITOR'S NOTE Tlu� literary editors of the “Quip and Quill have been more than pleased with the interest which was aroused in the short story contest. The English teachers, Miss Scott and Miss t'arlson, have h en of reat aid in arousing interest by encouraging the youthful “scribblers and the annual lioard is very grateful for the work which they have done. The contest was of about three weeks duration, two tine (r. J. 11. S. pennants being offered as first and second prizes. A large number of stories were banded in and the judges, Miss Scott, Miss Uarlson, lioweua Wheeler and Evelyn llosmer, were unanimous in their decisions. The first prize was awarded to Helen Stevens, a member of tin freshman class, and the second to Elam Underhill, a sophomore. ■04 Skill. Frank Weaver 10, deserves honorable mention and if space would permit we would publish his production. THE MIRAGE (Fi� � l Prrr by Hekn Sirvtni. 12) A man stumbled along over the sand. For miles around nothing was to lx si en but the dull gray sand, marked at intervals by the sad colored sage-brush. Fains shot through his head, and his tongue had swollen until it tilled his month with the hot, throb ! _ ■’ ■ lies fmin thirst. A lonesome buzzard whirred by, and he knew it was going toward his forsaken, broken-kneed horse. His coat was thrown away, hut the rays of the sun stung as the sting of salt in an open wound. His arm was numb, so lie threw away his gun. He mui tered, “Aw, what's the use? But a glance showed him. far behind, the indistinct shape of horsemen. The sand was heavy in his shoes, but lie plodded on, driven by a vague fear, a haunting, almost forgotten fear of the law. He thought of the .hirtecn years of Ids imprisonment, and he still shook at the injustice of it, of imprisoning an innocent man. The fugitive wondered how they had discovered his escape, and lie timed and shook a knotted, toil-worn fist at them. He stumbled; fell; and lay still. A regret throhlied through his panting body. Was 16105259 this the same air that had sent the ache for freedom to a sieving prisoner? Fear urged him on, and lie rose. His f et were heavy and did not move on so easily. Again hi fell. He tried to rise, hut could not, and so, he crawled along. A great tiredness came over him and he wished the throb of his heart would blot out the thoughts in his head, for he was thinking of a girl, a girl he had known when he was very young, lie remembered when last he hail seen her, the old, old. promise he had made, to come back from the West, to her. A dry, harsh sob was mullled in his arms, for he dropped his head at that thought. She had been in his dreams lately, she and he, in a white, white city, all alone. Through the silence of the desert, a call came to him, a happy, urging enll and then, lie raised his head. An odd exultant joy shot through him, for there, far off in the West, lay a city. A broad blue river wound lazily beneath swaying trees, and a girl in white with sea-colored eyes and hair like copper waited for him. He knew from his dreams, and a wistful smile crept over his hard features, softening them into something like the boyish lieanty the girl had known. IIis eyes filled with pain when he saw that he could not ever crawl to the city, and his lips ipiivered like a child's. “Oh, God,” he murmured, but it was not profane. It was the plea of a great tired child. An odd drowsiness came over him. He swayed, lower and lower, with his eves fixed on the girl. A scent of locust blossoms and sweet, crushed fruit came over him and he forgot everything. The sheriff stared straight ahead. Once his sun 1 darted out, “Say, let's hurry. and In looked up, fearful at seeing a smile on the older man's face, hut it was grave. Perhaps he was thinking of the little siek woman in town, who was waiting for this man. whose pardon she hud earned. And then, they found him. Instinctively the Imred their heads. From way bark in the foothills a lonesome coyote called and was answered. In the west the. stin glowed faintly, and little dark shadows crept up around the sage brush. The boy was plainly sobbing and a strange huskiness came into the other's voice. “What shall we tell her? he questioned, but lie was not answered. He followed the direction of the dead man's eyes and saw sand, only endless miles of sand, for the city of the desert had gone out with tin-dead man's soul. Just then the sun sank in a splendor of blood red, and a hush fell over the desert. Only the call of tin coyote and the answering call of his mate broke the stillness. Silently they lifted him, and the sheriff held him with a queer tenderness. The dusky velvet of the night clung to them and that spicy hotness of the desert filled the stifling air. Dark settled over everything. They were thinking of the siek woman in town, ind wondering at the story of this fugitive. The horses lagged and went slower and slower. Tin sheriff's head fell on his hreasl ; he hated to take tin uncouth form in to her. On they traveled, through the rapidly wearing night. A faint dark line separated the twinkling stars from the twinkling lights in town. The hay of a dog broke tin stillness, and a swift darted past like a shadow, uttering its weird womanly cry. They filed silently through the little town, and dismounts! at her door. A strange |uiet was over everything. No one eame at their knock, and so the nov opened tin door. The moon had come out and it threw a mellow light over everything. Crouching in tin open window was the strange woman, all in white. A thousand little stars stared down into heist ill face. At first they thought her asleep, hut when they eame nearer they saw the same unfathomable smile that had been on tin dead man’s face and, then, they knew. LITERARY SOCIETIES In the Grand Junction High School then are live Literary Societies; three for the Freshmen, one for the Sophomores, and one for tin Juniors and Seniors. Kadi society is in charge of two teachers, who appoint the officers and make out the programs. In most of the societies Parliamentary haw and Debating have been made a specialty. The Adelphic Society, (‘omposed of Seniors and •Juniors, was in charge of I)r. (’ole and Miss Lindley. Tin work lias Iwen very interesting and helpful to the members. Pen variety, several of the meetings have been given over to the Debating Hub. The officers for the year were: Presidents, Canzada Hampton and Olin Wliittemore; Secretaries, Dora Harris and Walter Let Mere. The Sophomore society was in charge of Miss Scott and Miss Carlson. (Miief among the many interesting events during the year was the Spartan Athenian debate. One whole afternoon was devoted to this debate, in which the Spartan side won. The losing side giving a banquet to the winning side. In place of the last regular program a debate and quotation contest, was given by the two Julius Caesar divisions. The officers for the year were: Prisidcnts, Plain Cnderhill, Marred us Murphy and Harold Anderson; Secretaries, Rebekah Miller, Levi Morse and Esther Xurine. Redros is the name of the strongest Freshman society. The officers for the year were: Presidents, Harold Rhone, Roy Pearce, Nell Green and Curtis Lynch: Secretaries, Nell Rlaisdcll, Is� na Rate, Mabel Marsh and Priscilla Price.

Presidents, Williard Ross, Calvert Vance, Ethel dicedlc and Grace Bigler: Secretaries, Mae Nelson, Ruth Long, Glen Walker and Roy Danes. .Miss l.cwis and .Miss Decker had charge of tile third society of Freshmen which is known as the Kooin Fight Literary Society. AXIS TURNER, ’ ! . Jl “CRUSH” Whence, why and wherefore comes this thing they call a crush?v Suddenly from a clear sky, wholly unexpected, it comes and your former quiet existence is rent in a hundred places and vibrant with the shock. How strange! How rose-colored are the clouds! And your elders examine you critically as though you were a new form of a very ancient specimen and wag their heads quite sagely and say, A crush, a diseased state of the mind; a jierverted and very violent love alTair; a temporary aberration of the intellect and then they smile. You look at them in scorn and almost hatred and think how ignorant they are, how ridiculous. Hut then they’ve never had any experience.” And you go your rosc-hued way, adoring, revering the very path in which your satellite moves and affecting all her little ways, her clothes, her speech and if she is a teacher, you strive quite earnestly to be as wise. Her very words are fraught with meaning and you are thrust into the depths of despair if sin is kind to anyone else. She is for you, you feel, and you are quite sure that your friendship is a wonderful, unheard of thing. You burden her with fudge, flowers and your presence. And she, from the vantage point of her superior years, beat's it quite patiently, knowing it eaunot last. Hut then some morning you wake up to tind things quite changed, the clouds are no longer rose-hued, they are just a dirty gray, and the “unwilling victim,” why, she is not a goddess, she is just a mortal with a squini in one eye; and somehow you feel you have been cheated and you go around quite calmly and tind the world no longer vibrant except with the noise of the grocery wagons. Then your elders and the “unwilling victim view you again as if you had had an interesting case of the mumps and say, “She has lost her •crush. Then you marvel at their wisdom. J. S., ’ )!). LITTLE EVENTS OF INTEREST To relieve the happy monotony of the school term the principal and superintendent have secured a number of good speakers to address the students at the tirst hour. Among those were Kev. Forsyth, Kev. Davis, Itev. Munro, Kev. Keeker, Kev. 11. A. Miller, recently of the Philippines, Dr. Howard Agnew Johnston, Dr. Roberts and D. V. Aupperle of tin Water Users Association. On the evening of the Montrose football game in this city the visitors were entertained at a reception at the Odd Fellows Hall. Speeches hv members of the teams and schools were given and a delightful spirit shown by all who were present. Refreshments vere served in the basement and after playing a few guinea the party dispersed, declaring that they had had one of the finest times of the year. The long remembered day when Delta took this town by storm, and the storm was a wot one, ended in another pleasant affair. After tin basketball game ice eream and cake were served by the girls and Delta returned home with less malice in her heart than sin-had when there appeaivd no signs of “let up in the pour down. ’ The association was assisted financialh by this entertainment and it was a successful affair, and these who did advertising for it deserve no little praise. The benefit jierformnncc at the .Majestic proved to be a money and fun maker and the three large crowds that jammed the theater to the doors enjoyed it. The Dixie (Quintette for the benefit of the athletic association was another success, both finunciulla and otherwise. These typical southern negroes proved to be good entertainers ami had the house in laughter throughout, tin entire evening. The two benefit musicals by high school students were successes. The students rallied to tin association's aid in a noble manner in all these benefit propositions. The roller rink was quite a popular place with a large number of the high school students and together with private affairs the year has been quite lively, socially. J)uip - and ’� « )uill.
