Graduation With a feeling of mingled joy and sadness, we leave the dear old Grand Junction High School,—jo because of the progression and advancement in our struggle for an education: sadness because of the close of the friendly associations which we must now look upon as a thing of the past. But the happy moments spent in the school-room will never he forgotten. Often, we shall think of the merry laugh which resound d through the halls in spite of C ’s being dealt out vcr. generously; we shall think of flunks and scoldings, and of all connected with them : of sliding down the bannister only to be faced by the professor when we arrived at the bottom, and to hear the sentence of “five hours” verv freely given out to us. The corps of teachers w'th their smiling faces will not he forgotten, hut the memory of them will always he cherished. As we leave the school, we give to it our best wishes. We desire that the coming pupils may receive even more benefit from it than we have received. Dear Old School, we must leave thee, Though loath we arc to say farewell; But duty calls us onward, never free From toils and labors in this weary cell. I hough hills and vales may come between us, And sorrow and gloom may often cross our ways; et we indeed shall always fondly cherish Sweet recollections of those old school days. I hv corps of pedagogues we shall always remember, And our best wishes to them will be given: Ami it it be our lot no more on earth to gather, May we all meet them at last in Heaven. Now Dear Old School, at last we say. “adieu,” e hope our lives will be an honor to thee: And may each individual always he as true As our dear teachers have taught us to he. A Toast We have all of us praised the girl we have met When sailing away on a cru’sc. And the girl that on leave � s quite the best yet. To her our hearts gladly wc loose. But we've none of us sung of one little dame, Who has never been given full pra:se ; Vet all our best wishes she surely can claim But for her—what were old school days? So here let me pledge you—this lady fair— I know you’ll all drink the toast down— I o the maid whom you’ll find to be always right there— The girl of Grand Junction town. Doctor Cole I Ic's short and bald, but not so old; 1 lis store of knowledge is untold: When we behave he treats ”S right. But when we don’t he's s ire a fright. I Ic gives us time for after school To show us plain we’ve been the fool, And, in the end, we find it best That we have had that five-hour rest: Sometimes he’s bright, sometimes he's dole, Just such a man is our Doctor Cole. He likes to talk on certain things, Mostly on scientific themes; If our attention he receives. He’ll just stop talking by degrees; But if the listening we do shirk, He’ll start that lesson with a jerk. So we have come to see and know That listening is our only show: Still we’re proud to be possessor Of such a wise and good professor. IRVING GATES. Class Officers Melville Dillcy. President.

We thank those who have led us In knowledge and in power, And as we leave forever And in the deep waves lower Our hearts are sad at parting From our harbor calm and cool. Chorus: HELEN HOLM BURG. A minister walking along a road saw a crowd of boys sitting in a ring with a small dog in the center. “What arc you doing with that dog?” he asked. “Whoever tells the biggest lie, he wins the dog,” saivl one of the boys. “Oh,” said the minister. “I am surprised at you boys, for when I was like you I never told a lie.” There was a moment's silence. Then one of the boys said: “Give the gent the dog, Jim.” Farewell Iligh school, farewell; the sunny hours have passed When through thy fragrant fields of knowledge new We strolled in gay-voiced throng. Here parts the pat. That we’ve together faced; alone we face I lenceforth, the hopeful dangers of our way. Farewell old times; the river rushes on. I he pensive clouds flit over day by day In ever-varying similitude; And sun with other suns trades beam for beam Across an ever-shifting universe. The bees and buds and blossoms, all around, Are not the ones which gladdened last year’s May; And where we were a little while ago Now other busy high school students arc. Farewell, plain track; the path ahead grows dim, And night awaits us on the mountain top. Oh, when we’ve reached the summit of our climb When all our life is but a retrospect,— May we not then with idle, sad regret Look back upon the hours of eager youth. Or sigh in anguish at the words “No more!” But like a man who, through a summer rain. Toils up a mountain all a weary day. And then at evening, when the sky is cleared. Admidst the purity of aspen woods Stands warmly robed against the snowdrift breeze And looking hack across the hills beholds 1 he city’s lights, terrestrial galaxy, In far-off hazy gleam stretched out below; I hen. upward glancing, sees the fairer shine Of lights that shine alike on hill and vale, And change not with the changing of man’s life;— So may we climb our mountains faithfully; So may we view the joys of this fair time, Nor fail to trust in heaven’s eternal gleam.

I sat one dreary night before a grate-fire. A place of slumber nnd of dreams. watching the dying embers revive Into n Inst bright glow, us a person, knowing death to be near, makes one brief fitful struggle toward the life fast disappearing into the unknown. Suddenly on. ember flared up brighter than the others, illuminating the entire room Softly, sweetly, harmoniously, strains of music stole upon my unexpecting ear. Intensely surprised I glanced up. to find myself in a strange, but brilliantly lighted drawing-room. Many people were present, listening attentively to the delightful melody that wafted Itself through the room as if on the wings of zephyr. enchanting its hearers. Particularly noticeable was one young man. with an enraptured expression of countenance, seemingly drinking in every note Without difficulty, one could See that he was deeply In love with the lair musician, ns with the inspiring music. Surprised. I recognised him as Lucius Currier. The professor of philosophy was engaged in as hopeless a task as ever befell the brilliant valedictorian. Applause succeeded the music, and immediately the charming young lady was surrounded by a host of admirers. As she turned. I beheld Vera Wilson. Interested by this time. I examined more closely the assembled company. Nearby a man remark'd. ”lf you keep up this clip Mr. Gates, you will be the worlds champion batsman. •’Yes.” replied gates, Year before last I Joined the Cubs. Before I Joined them they were dubs; last yesr we neatly trimmed the Browns. And made them look like n hunch of clowns. Eagerly I looked for Mr. Gates It was. indeed. Irving, and by his side was Inez Kinney, now Mrs. Gates. Approaching another group I heard a lady say. Explain the fourth dimension to us. professor. Ixroking at the person thus addressed. I started back astonished. Clair Welch, now a professor of mathcmutics stood before me; his fair Interrogator and wife was the former Mury Kaiser. Hello! old fellow. ' exclaimed some one behind me. slapping me on the back. I turned, and was face to face with William Lynch. His dress bespoke a doctor, so I hazarded the reply. ••Hello. Doctor, you look prosperous. I'm not a doctor but a lawyer. ue dcplied. Come over here. I wish you to meet a friend. “Walt a minute. I responded perplexedly, and rubbed my eyes vigorously to make sure It was not all u dream. On again looking up. It was with amazement that I found myself confronted with a strange street scene. Soon it began to take on an old familiar aspict. and I found myscl. once more at the corner of State and Madison streets. Chicago Discovering a large crowd across the corner, i decided to ascertain what new surprise fortune helu In store for me. Approaching the motley throng. I percelvea that there were two centers of attraction. The most noticeable of which was a woman, standing on a raised platform, describing to her audience how women's votes had redeemed Colorado. This speaker was none other than Maude 111.ffith. [j More amusing was the performance going on along the curbstone. where a fellow was gesticulating violently as From curb to curb he cried, with a lusty yell. Here's a great remedy and cure-all to sell. Best remedy on earth, ray wife takes it and you can see the result. he shouted, pointing to the suffragist. It was amazing! Harold Aupperle vending patent medicines. Starting down State street. I was met by a wild-eyed fellow carrying a painters brush and can. Alas! 1 exclaimed. Frank McSherry. a painter and in trouble. I hastened forward to learn tile cause of his perturbation. Was It that he had married? No. m had refused to Join the union, had become a strike-breaker, and now the strikers were breaking him. His good wife Hazel was despondent. He was broke nnd afraid to go home. Poor fellow! I tried philosophy on him. .1 would not move him; then persuasion, it made him obdurate; then sympatny. it angered him. In dismay I fled. An auctioneer next attracted my attention. Well here I am again,” he said, “prepared to give you more goods for less money than any other man. I am called Happy DiUey the Rover. When 1 laugh. 1 laugh all over. I will now offer you a first-class pair of American double web. one hundred nnd twenty-one. forty strand, gum elastic, vul- canlxcd suspenders. which will stretch a rod before they break__ twenty-five; all right. Thirty, forty, a haluf u dollar—going— once, twice, three time , sold. Pay Marie, she takes the money. Tiring of these curiosities. 1 boarded a car for the Coliseum. A few minutes later with his familiar voice. Waller Page, the conductor, cried. Look out a young farmer standing near me attempted to do this, when the car came so suddenly to slop, that it precipitated him into the lap of a lady who wus cumpoiang rhymes, and recu.ng them to her friend, a kindergarten teacher. Old classmates all. I mused. Charles Fluke. Itu.n Newton and Victoria Wllhelmy. Without rurther Incidents we arrived at our desi.nation. The show was begun by a young man named Barnett, who strove to educate the audience as to the high class and enlightening features of the play aoout to be given. Then the Misses Mullincaux and Gilbert gave a ver enjoyable entertainment in singing and dancing. unU Mr. Krunkus Lumsdtn. as the village clown, performed a comic act which the audience took sertou !; while his wife, once Miss Qlcn ennlng. sang a beautiful lyric: O. be sure and take care ot your money, my hoys. Be sure and take care of your money; For your friends you will nd. will be distant and few. Should you ever fall short of a dollar or two The performance ended wltu some high class acting by the famous urtist. Miss I ora Harris. On the arrival of tile car. for the return trip. 1 started to step in. when I� ! I found myself in a small room listening to the conference of six women strikers, representatives of nil women's unions of Fruita. It was easy to recognise former classmates in this sextette. There was Gladys Wells, representing the clerks; Ixtulse Matthews, the dressmakers. Kvelyn Ferbraclie. the office girls; Laura Rhone, the stenographers; Josephine Kendall, the bookkeepers; and Grace Frey, the telephone girls. 1 was about to address this convention, with tin- view of conciliating the differences, when there was a knock on the door, and on opening It. I was pushed headlong to the sidewalk on regaining consciousness. I was pleased to find myself in the midst of a gathering of eminent people. The first speaker. th« president, was none other than my old friend Ralph Merritt, otherwise known as the scientific genius, who was happily in sufficient control of himself to address the presiding officer by her proper title. This was Miss Doctor Hamilton, who presided with her accustomed graciousness and dignity. The next address was delivered by tin- Illustrious Christian Helene - preacher. laiw-r.-nee Carnahan; he was followed uy Frank Weaver. Chief Forester of the Cnited States, who made a powerful and Impressive address on the Conservation of me Natural Wealth of the Country. He hit hard and often, and drove his arguments In w.th sledgehammer blows. A gentleman, whom I afterwards l arned was one Karl Rhinehart. then claimed the attention of the audience in an attempt to explain an invention of his. a perpetual motion machine, for which lie wished to secure the Indorsement of the convention; however, the Irate presiding officer, with the aid of and Quill. lhv � ergt?� nt-of-arm«. successfully retired him. General Earl McShcrry cloned the conversa..on with a stirring oration on patrtotiMm. 1 wan informed that the president. the Hon. . lr.

History of|the Class of 1910 In recording one of the greatest events of history, it is impossible to impart to the reader all the incidents concerning that event. I Iowever, we must do the best we can. This marvelous event was no other than the appearance of one hundred Freshmen to swell the ranks of the (iraiul Junction High School. On the first morning we were summoned to room i ; and, although frightened by those terrible looking Sophomores and awed by the grand Seniors, we managed to survive. |'He law was laid down in such a “Cole(d)” way that we vowed never to br. ak them. Then we started in on our new experiences in Algebra, Latin and English. We found that the teachers were not so bad as we had surmised; and, after we had learned their names, we were frightened no more; for would Cole, Taylor, Lindley, Scott, Agnew, or Carroll frighten anyone. Indeed, after the first week everything became old; and we mechanically went through the same routine with now and then a speaker to enliven our wit or direct us to paths of industry and right. Thus the year passed away and vacation time came bringing glad faces to those who had passed their grades, and sail or indifferent faces to those who had flunked. Vacation, however, soon flitted away and we came back again, less in quantity hut infinitely greater in quality. VVe found that during this year we were to decide whether Athens was greater than Sparta or not, and that we must learn to know the difference between triangles, circles, and squares. But, to our sorrow, M iss Lindley had deserted us; and. her successor although it was Miss Law, was not large enough to entirely console us. But Mr. Dodds and Miss Lewis also helped us out. But time quickly passed, and soon after Christmas vacation the long-looked for debate occurred. With such first-class debaters as Currier, Weaver, and Hutchinson, the Athenians should have carried off the honors from such long, lean, and skinny things as Carnahan and Aupperle and their helper Mary Kaiser; but the judges said, “No,” and so it stood. Then it was up to the Athenians to give the Spartans a banquet, party, or some other function. This was given on St. Valentine’s eve, and everybody enjoyed the splendid toasts and witticisms. After this, nothing more of importance happened; but things just drifted along in the same old way till vacation time arrived, bringing with it the knowledge that we had forever parted with Julius Caeesar and the mysteries ot the House of Seven Gables.” We had traveled on and now were jolly Juniors. Now we were IT.” What fun to watch the green, awkward, timorous Freshmen go softly up and down the stairs or blush when someone spoke to them Why surely, we bad never realized the best things of schools before as we now did. Happily we drifted along, studying and reciting, reciting and studying. But those pesky Sophomores soon got busy and woke us up. They would not permit us to have peace, but forced us to defend ourselves and pull down their pennants. It is impossible to describe all the circumstances of the scraps and good-natured rivalry. But finally things reached a climax. The Juniors gave the Seniors a party, and the Sophomores vowed that not more than three boys should arrive at their destination. But their plans failed anti we all arrived there, although some were indeed quite late. GALE BARNE I I . Class Play This year, for the first time, the Senior Class gave a Shakespearean play, “As You I .ike It.” Although not modern, it is one of our most popular comedies, with just the right amount of plot and good wholesome humor in it. It draws a charming picture of French life and customs in medieval times, dealing with all classes of society from the nobility to the country rustic. The play opens with a quarrel between Oliver and Orlando, two young noblemen, in which Oliver seems to be in the wrong. As a result of this quarrel, he persuades Charles, the court wrestler, to kill Orlando in a wrestling match, which is to happen in the near future. On the day of the match, Charles is thrown. Orlando by his skill and manliness wins the love of Rosalind, the banished duke’s daughter; and the admiration of Celia, daughter of the usurping duke and friend and cousin of Rosalind. Orlando in his turn falls in love with Rosalind. A few days after this he learns from a faithful servant, that Oliver intends to get rid of him by fair or foul means. Consequently, he flees to the Forest of Arden where the banished duke ( Rosalind’s father) lives in seclusion with his followers. While this is occuring, Rosalind is also banished by her evil uncle anil she, too. in man’s apparel, flees to her father’s court in company with Celia and the court jester. Necessarily, on arriving there, she meets Orlando, who does not recognize her in such attire. After many peculiar circumstances, in which a young lady spurns her own lover and becomes madly in love with Rosalind, she makes her identity known. On her and Orlando’s wedding day, Oliver arrives to beg his brother’s forgiveness, which IS readily given. Shortly afterward a messenger is announced, who tells that the usurping duke has re-penteJ and gives the power and rule over to his brother, the rightful ruler. I lie class was very fortunate also in securing the services of Mr. Archie Bliss, as stage manager and scene designer. Mr. Bliss has had a great deal of experience in this line ol work and added much to the success of the play. I he play was given two nights before packed houses at the Majestic Theatre.

Junior Class Officers Junior History In the spring of 907 a powerful tribe of barbarians, crowded from their dearly loved home in the Land of Kighth Grade, by even more strong and wild savages behind them, was forced to seek new habitations in the unknown regions bevond. Many were lost in the long hard marches, and the remainder, no longer strong, but weak, dejected and broken, straggled one pleasant autumn into the strange vast country ca 1 led 1 ligh School, and there sought shelter and protection. The new arrivals, however, received little welcome from the haughty natives and were taunted mercilessly for their ignorance and were given the unkind name of “Lreshies.” Their rude and bashful manner caused nearly as much laughter as the r modest anti homely dress. So the first year in the new home passed slowly and tediously enough: but while the half-civilized tribe of Sophomores, with the more high cultivated Juniors and Seniors, mocked and discouraged them, the Freshmen, grateful for a chance to show their spirit, struggled so faithfully to gain the learning of their superiors that the elders of all the tribes agreed to let most of them he enrolled with those stupid and lazy Sophomores who could not keep up with the advancing civilization of their mates. Such honors were dearly appreciated. The happy tribe, now with the new, wonderful title of Sophomores, studied under their kind and prtient scribes with patient zeal, soon becoming highly respected citizens of the middle class of the great nation. High School. Their literary society which was established when they were low and struggling now flourished amazingly, producing wonderful speakers and authors. The captain of the football team, Roy Caldwell, was chosen from their number, and all rejoiced in the honor and distinction. Finally a great dispute arose between two divisions of their tribe, threatening to split t into hostile factions. The question arose concerning their ancient forefathers, the Spartans and Athenians of Greece. An assembly was held, at which one of the most distinguished tribesmen. Everett Munro, presided with great authority. Six leaders of the Sophomores debated the awful question, the names of whom were as follows: For Sparta, Flam Underhill, Melville Dillev and David Mitchell; for Athens, Walter Nelson, Leone Voils and Ruby Cox. Judges from neighboring cities decided that the Spartans had stronger arguments and should be declared victors. The defeated Athenians proclaimed their goodwill and celebrated their rivals victory in a feast to which all the tribe were invited. All traces of former barbarism had now disappeared, and by the end of the second year the Sophomores were advancing as Juniors, energetic, happy and successful. Now there followed a year of achievement in government, learning and war. A president, Roy Caldwell, a secretary and treasurer, Lawrence Terrill and a tribe historian, Frances Holrrburg were chosen to execute duties of state. Moreover a committee was appointed to arrange a festival in honor of the great tribe of Seniors, who were about to set forth on a great journey to larger and more wonderful lands as their most learned predecessors had been accustomed to do. Finally the Juniors chose their ensign, colors of old rose and white, which were destined to be torn asunder, and trampled under foot, but at last to be raised in triumph. For the half civilized tribe below them, angry at a slight wrong done in no hostile spirit, declared war against the Juniors and after small threatenings, a great battle broke out on the day of the Junior-Senior festival, in which even the most barbaric men joined arms in the attack. Many captives were taken among the upper tribesmen, and such fighting marked that day that it seemed as if all the barbaric spirit, subdued for ages, had again burst forth with double ferocity, menacing degeneration and destruction. However the Junior and Senior warriors though hard pressed, proved most able; and in spite of small numbers escaped from their prisons, and arrived, battered but happy, at the place where their friends were assembled in suitable hard-time apparel, and were received in triumph, mid dancing and feasting. Quiet, fortunately soon followed, and, as the spring days came on, the high school once more as a nation united in effort and accomplishment, and among Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors there was at last peace. Hope, too, stirred every tribe; hope of success in study, and advancement to higher places. For truly the nation of High School is, however strong, really a nation of wandering tribes, ever striving to be on and away, impatient of delay, and desirous only of progression. They come into the nation as strangers, and are naturalized; they work for their country a brief period, advancing higher yearly; and then they depart, we know not where. So it is best; new strength and vigor are needed, and though we regret to see dear friends leave our nation, we would not have their hopes disappointed, which, like our own, point toward advancement.

Chasing a Senior Q)mlt • Sophomore History The first Tuesday of September, 1908, ushered into the G. J. 11. S. the largest class which had ever trod the halls o! the old school. As we marched in that morning to the tune of “How Green They Are,” we certainly didn’t think that we would ever amount to much. But since that time the class has come into a full knowledge of their power. True, a few. some scant twenty or thirty, fell by the wayside, struck ruthlessly down by the mightly bludgeon of Algebra, Latin, or others equally as cruel; such as English or English History. But others have come to take their places, some from outside schools and others who dropped from the ranks of other classes anti then took a new lease on life, since they have been fortunate enough to drop into the class of ’12. Not only in point of size and strength docs the class of ’12 excell but also in mental ability. The students of this class have a fine reputation for the painstaking care which they devote to every task they undertake. Indeed their motto might well be taken from the old saying, “What’s worth doing at all is worth doing well.” The girls of the class have surpassed the hoys a little in scholrrship. but they have nothing else to do. And of course their grades must be very’ high to excel the boys; so, considering the fact that the ladies are the flowers o' the school, the boys can not well be jealous. In athletics also has the class been a strong factor; furnishing to the football team such men as Merrill, De-Long, Walker, Budelier, Burckhalter, Hards, Heckman, Johnson and Coen; and moreover supplying a nucleus for a strong track team with Boyer, Walker, 1 leckman, Johnson, Coen and DeLong. In the baseball team are i.. walker, Hards, I). Walker, I'nltz. Jacobshagen and Johnson of this class. 1 he class is a wide-awake bunch and is well represented by its student president, Duane Budelier. They have made a success of everything they have undertaken. Even in spite of the opposition on the part of u, per classmen to break up the partan-Athenian banquet, it was a grand success. Their attempt was a miserable failure; they succeeded in keeping not a single person away. The members of the class are noted tor their good behavior in the halls and study rooms So, altogether they are a ;:ood bunch to travel with, and here’s hoping that when 1912 rolls around all will be there to say goodbye to the faculty when, with tears in our eyes and sighs ;n our hearts, we leave the old high school forever.

Freshman Class History In the balmy month of September, 1909, about one hundred of the brightest and best-behaved children ever numbered on the High School roll took up the august and high-sounding name ol lreshmen. We burst forth from the shelter of the grades as buds in early spring and were tendered the care necessary to young sprouts by the considerate upper-classmen. We never appeared green and awkward as is usually the case, and by our kind manners and genial ways won the love and respect of all, no one ever having the opportunity to call us “conceited h reshies.” hirst in Knowledge and good behavior, lirst in the hearts ol our fellow-students; such is the class of ’13. Our literary societies are the largest, best, and most interesting in the school. In essays, stories, and recitations we are a credit to the High School, and our debates are always highly interesting and never dry. Admittance of one lault will not in the least scar our reputation, for this lault is the insatiable longing for more knowledge, which we acquire by unceasing toil and drudgery. Possioly a few prefer the scientific term “study.” In this we excel: it gives us great pleasure to display our grasp of Shakesperean literature by quoting such lengthy passages as: and “O Iliut this loo, too fierce exam, would melt, Thaw and dissolve itself into a paper wad ” We have also showed a great amount of loyalty to our beloved colors, purple and gold. With all these unusual traits, is it any wonder that we have been gazed upon with admiration and awe by our fellow-students. I lence, while we hope the succeeding classes will never disgrace the name Freshmen, we are firmly convinced they will never equal the class ’13. MARGARET COLE, ’13. A Geometry problem.

With three weeks to work and with any subject to choose from, the prize story contest for this year moved off with great enthusiasm. Within three days after the announcement was made there were fifteen contestants busy with their stories. Miss Carlson, Miss Scott and Frank Weaver were selected by the annual board as judges of the contest and to Miss Maude Griffith they awarded first prize, and to Herbert Lough second prize. No honorable mention was given in view of the fact that no choice could be made from some half dozen next in excellence. Miss Griffith’s story is here published. It is a legend suggested to her by scenes in the vicinity of her home above Palisade. The illustrations were made by Miss Inez. Kinney. A Legion of Plateau Canon Godnr (Go 'dari stood at the head of the road leading from Giant's Spring to Dwarfs Chimneys. He and his faithful camel Klgoo K� goo') had wandered far and for many years had searched for the Spring of Life Everlasting, for Godar although great of build, and gigantic of strength, and possessed of magical powers, a favor of the gods, was yet afraid of death; he desired to live always and to always have Klgoo with him. Now Godar had n wart on his nose and a long white heard; he also had an irascible temper, and whenever he was angry and stroked his beard, or touched his wart, and expressed a wish nt the same time, it always 1m came true. He had the habit of striking his beard when In a pleasant mood; and. through force of habit almost always Involuntarily stroked It In moments of anger or vexation. Because he was searching for the Spring of Life Everlasting, he must never drink from anything but a spring. It was almost the noon hour. The road over which he came had been long and dusty, and led down through a fertile valley hemmed In by mountains; a rumbling mountain stream flowed by the roadside, and gurgled—oh. so cool and enticing to h!s parched throat, he had not tasted water since early morning. Kigoo. too. was thirsty and now footsore and almost unmanageable. The valley narrowed Into a canyon and the water In the stream flowed more rapidly—almost with the roar of a fall; it was descending abruptly and Godur knew that they must soon rcncli the river Into which it emptied. They rounded u bend In t«e roud. and In u great cuve In the rock wall by the road-bed lay a giant pool of water fed by a great spring. Hurriedly he dismounted. and simultaneously Godar and Kigoo taxied the wate. of the enticing spring—It was warm and flat. Angrily lie spran to his feet. “I’gh!,” he said as he shook his head, so flat ami warm. I would at least that you were cool. Flat, you might a well be strong with salt and sulphur for your Hotness is unbeam-ble. Immediately he felt in the water trickling over his feet a delightful coolness. Joyfully he stopped again; but. alas! he had unfortunately stroked his beard and the water was strong with salt and sulphur. Godar looked at Gigoos feet, they were hot and swollen: he loved the beast and decided to walk, thus saving greater pain. Cursing his luck he led Kigoo down the rock. road. Keerlee (Ker-lee'). the witch of the canyon stood on a foothill watching the tempestuous man. Presently he spied her and asked If she could t« II him of a spring. Sue said: You have Just ruined the best spring in these mountains. Because you happened to taste water that touched the warm rocks, you thougnt the whole spring flnt and warm Your temper always gets the best of you; you have been searching thes« many years for the Spring of Life Everlasting. It is a wonderful mineral spring and lies up the river into which this stream flows; hut. through your quick temper and cruelly you will never find it. You have ruined our good giant smiths spring, and now what will the poor dwarfs do for water too. I ook how cruel you are to your faithful camel! Why do you not let it drink from the stream? l� o you want it to live forever too? Selfish, cruel man! Whoever heard of an immortal camel! Look, how its eyes roll, how Its tongue hangs out. how hot and swollen its feet are! Yes. you shall both find Immortality but not In the way you seek it.” Godar shook with rage and deliberately laid his finger on bin wart. Kcrlee. witch of the canyon. he stormed. I would that on yonder dlff your face be turned to stone and that forever you may watch with stony, unseeing eyes, the activity of the canyon below. I cannot curse you except when you are beside yourself with rage. I accept my fate.—O Godar. the searcher, but I shall live long enough to pronounce your doom— For a witch you Know. Changes alow; Ti-Cdle de (lcrdli doom. I mount my broom. I mount my broom So Maying. mIh- mounted her broom and floated up to the face of tin- cliff; tin re. Mile perched and began slowly turning to stone. •'•In-' tbought t_5oil.tr. “Kerlce ban told me where the Spring of Life Kvvrliistlng Im, and that a giant smith also lives ncur here. I shall have him shoe Klgoo ami we will to the spring.” Now Kigoo’h feet W re soft and tender, and the rond 'van growing ro' kler And rockier; but. well he knew his feet could never be shod, and desperately he formed a plan of hl« own In IiIm stubborn brain. Soon they cam.- to a great rock cave-fireplace; the smoke rose from the top of the mountain and the fire crackled merrily on the hearth where Mnshee (Mn sheo'), the giant’s wife, wan broiling n buffalo for the giant's dinner. Bohunk (Bo'hunk). her husband, lay stretched out on the ground lazily waiting for his dinner. He was very tired and bad been busy all morning welding blow-pipes for the dwarfs to use in their treasure mines. Presently he was aroused by a gruff, heavy voice saying. Come O p uto - ' and Q)tlill. giant smith, and shoe my camel. I will not go until I've had my dinner, unless something unforaeen happens. You shall go then. cried Godar seizing his beard In both hands, for I would that your chimney be partially closed and your fireplace be filled with smoke.” Immediately a rumbling noise of falling stones was heard and smoke filled all the great fireplace Masliee was driven from her work. Come then. and Hohunk strode to his anvil. Godar turned for Kigoo but he was gone; looking down the dusty road he could see KI goo’s broad tracks. What if Kigoo had defeated him and already drunk from the stream! He hurried after, fretting at his faithful beast. The breeze changed and the smoke from the chimneys of tin- dwarf treasure mine blew in hi face. I would that those chimneys he forever closed. Immediately the smoke cleared away, bis wish had been fulfilled the chimneys were closed The dwarfs swarmed up out of their mine, and climbing up the crevices in the mountain's face, prayed to the witch to curse the adventurer. Only the couchnnt lion, perched on another cliff, who had been cursed Into stone by the witch, looked on the little dwarfs and their changing uueen with a stony smile. Hohunk had a shoe ready and impatiently pounded Ills anvil as a signal to hurry. Godar at last saw Kigoo. he had left the road, and now stood at the brink of the stream; his forefeet resting in the eool water. Wildly Godar called for him to come back but stubbornly he stood Immovable Godar seized his bridle— begged coaxed—promised -commanded, but of no avail; and now beside himself Godar turned on his faithful companion for these many years—“Oh you stubborn brute! You might as well be rock you .� r ns immovable as one. Presto, with a little shiver. Kigoo turned to rook before his eye Ala , lie had unconsciously stroked hi beard. “Oh. I wish—I wish—Godar tore hi beard with hi hands, “I wish I might never have the power of magical cursing— 1.0. it left him As a knell he heard the slow, heavy words of Witch Kerlee float down to him: You shall be turned into an everlasting cactus, prickly with spines the thirstiest of all creation. Once a year you shall bring fortn a single bud and during one hour, the usual life of a cactus flower, everything shall be as It was before you came Into this canyon with your hateful curses. I cannot change my curse; but. for that one hour 1 shall be only as much stone as your wish found me when the power of miiKlenl cume left you,— For n witch you know.

He could feel his cinnt form shrivelling. his lone white beard becomimr bristly and s| iny and he vanished into a little insicnlficnnt cactus at the foot of Eicon his faithful camel now turned to rock. A.aUDE Griffith. Foot Ball The year 1908 was a telling one in the football annals of the Western Slope, and especially to Grand Junction. Although the championship was undecided much more was accomplished than in any previous season. In the first game ever played by Eastern and Western Slope teams Grand Junction defeated Pueblo by a score of 5 to o on the Pueblo grounds. Eight days later Delta upheld the Western Slope by tieing the Colorado Springs Terrors by the score of 6 to 6. Two days after that Grand Junction repeated the performance in a 5 to 5 game with the Terrors. Now we have the earnest respect of the Eastern Slope football men. The season of 1909 started out with the poorest prospects in the recent history of football in our school. On account of the loss of Handel, LeClerc, Miller, Arthur and Ryan through graduation and Barber. Ramey and Hines through scholarships, and Captain-elect McCary through illness, the chances for many victories on the gridiron certainly looked small. One good thing that we did have was the service of an up-to-date coach. “Sir’ Bernard. The first night out matters looked blue to one accustomed to sizing up football material—twelve men were out with only BudelierandCaldwellwho had placed on the 1908 team. What few men were out meant bus:r.ess, though, and with the addit:on of Heckman, a 1906 guard, and Johnson, formerly of Trinidad High, the work began to have a brighter aspect. Our first games, however, made the fact manifest that a winning team out of new material is practically an impossibility. I he first game with Aspen resulted in a defeat of 5 to o; next we yielded to Montrose in a 3 ro 0 game; then at Aspen the largest score of the season was run up against us. 9 to o. An unpleasant and undecisive game with Delta was called off by the consent of both sides, no score being counted. By this time the new men had begun to realize what football meant, and team work prevailed. The result was a victory in a hard fought game with Montrose with a score of 10 to 5. Our last game played on I hanksgiving day was an unexpected culmination to an almost unsuccessful year. Our boys had their whole hearts and souls in the game and the result was a 26 to o victory in our favor. On that day the highest score ever run up against the Delta Huskies was made by our team composed of almost all raw material. The Grand Junction Tigers simplv ran away with the Delta aggregation and scored their first touch-down before there had been five minutes of play. In all our games this year our opponents were clean, snortsmanlike football men. Delta, where they always have a strong team, took their defeat as only true, manly athletes can and good feeling prevailed after the contest was over. Next year, with good luck, we ought to have a fair outlook to begin with. No seniors were members of the team this year, although a large crowd of loyal supporters and rooters will go out whom we will sadly miss. With McCary, Budelier, 1 Icckman, Coen, Burckhalter, Merrill, Hards, DcLong, Walker and Caldwell a good schedule should be played. It is not so much the men as it is that spirit of “fight every minute.” When the men are in the game and the glory of the school and the spirit of the strife is instilled in them they can at least win the respect cf their opponents as “true sports,” even if they can not win the game by points. Points count only in the decision of a clean, hard contest. The losing team may often have the better of it if thev have fought fair and hard. ROY CALDWELL, Ti. Visitor—“You have a fine assembly hall here. By the way, is there a saw mill around here anywhere?” Miss Lindlcy—“No,—that is Herbert Lough; I suspect he is sleeping again.” Green Soph—“How much do you charge for weighing hogs?” “Oh, just get on; I’ll weigh vou for nothing.” Gladvs—“Reading the dictionary, Vic? Do you find it necessary?” Victoria—“No, but it is so funny; it spells the words so differently from the way I spell them.” Basket Ball The basket ball season for 1909 opened with enthusiasm early in the fall. Miss Carlson coached the team and under her training several new recruits proved themselves able to join the regular team. The new players were more faithful in practice than some of the older ones. The first game of the season was played at Delta, October 23, and ended with the Delta girls a little in the lead although it was anybody’s game until the last moment. The second game was played with Delta here on Thanksgiving day and also ended with a hard-earned victory for the visitors. A great deal of credit is due our girls, for they played hard; but could not keep up with the fast Delta squad. As it was the first time that some of the girls had ever been under fire there is a great deal of credit due them for they always made a good showing. A game was to have been played with Glenwood Springs but the arrangements fell through. The showing for next year is most excellent and a winning team may well be counted on. Prof. Cole—“Harold, where were you yesterday?” Harold—“I went to the fire and saved some of the stock.” Prof. Cole—“But I thougr.t you never went to fires.” Harold—“This one was at a brewery.” Track Under the able leadership of Captain George Currier of the track team, the 1910 track season proved to be the most successful ever known to the Grand Junction High School. At the annual interclass field and track meet held Friday, May 6, seven High School records were broken and two State records were equaled. Philip McCary ' 11, won the individual championship with 20 points, having won the broad jump, the 1 oo-vard dash, the hammer throw, and the pole vault. In the first two he broke the school records. Terrill ’11. also showed up in excellent shape, winning 18 points. Cross-country running figured prominently this year. Claire Welch won the annual run, making the four-mile course in 21 minutes 25 seconds. He made a pretty run and held up under the great strain very well. I he second run was won by Levan in 22 minutes 25 seconds. “I was passing a printing office this morning when 1 noticed a little girl crying.

Baseball has never had the backing by the students that is accorued football and track yet the members of the team went right ahead. Much good material was found in the school, and indeed, one of the players, Johnson, was of fered a position on a professional team, which he accepted before the high school season was quite over.

Evolution of a High School Man Irishman— I wonder why the world's so sad, And everybody has the blues; I wonder why the Profs, look mad, And quizzes rain like Jews? I wish I hadn’t come to school, I’m sure much learning is a bore, And every mother's son’s a fool Who stays a minute more. Today I made an awful bluff, T’was a wondrous stab ’tis true; The master took his glasses off And looked me thru and thru. He thinks I’ll never know a thing, Nor do I care one single whoop— Oh, would I were a bird on wing, Not penned up in this coop. Why can’t vacations hunv up? I don’t sec why I linger here, For briming over is my cup, I pause, and drop a tear. Sophomore— 0 dear! ’tis sad—but still ’tis true, I need some dough—indeed I do! This party fad is awful bad For Dad (and his son oo). Last year 1 thought I could not stay And finish up this yea —no way; But now I see—’twixt you and me— That studies must be held at bay. 1 find there's fun in living vet— I’ve licked a Freshic, won a bet: I give each girl a lively whirl, I always like the last one met. I guess I’ll stay another year, And hit the teamwork v.hile I’m here: I’ll be a sport—that is my forte, And join some club, I must, ’tis clear. Junior— It is my earnest expectation, To right the wrongs ct my generation, To solve the problems pressing for solution, To increase in my brain its convolutions. When I look thru the years in retrospection, I pause in amaze at my reflection, To find for my growth an explanation; Could anyone guess mv derivation? There is much to improve in legislation, In even our Faculty’s compilation; Anil as soon as I get thru my graduation I shall commence a reformation. I’ve gathered knowledge in goodly store. And now I’m about to go away; Yet, I regret to think that no more I’m part of dear old G. J. I have learned to love the steady hands Which here guide wavering feet And if I should wander to foreign lands “Alma Mater’’ would still sound sweet.

Will Lynch, President Frank Weave Everett Munro, Sec.-Treas. Elam Underhill As soon as the bustle of the first few weeks of school was over. President Will Lynch was busy carrying out his plans for big results in the debating club and the fruit ot the enthusiasm with which work was begun was a rapid growth of the society. It no longer comprises simply the few boys who arc naturally ready speakers. People began to realize that there was a great deal more to be learned than the art of easy speaking. They wanted for their practical life actual experience in parliamentary usage, the self confidence and magnetism to be gained through standing before audiences and persuading and leading them, and, not the least, the very important knowledge of the proper use of reference books. They also realized that nothing so clearly ingrains definite ideas in a person’s mind as putting those ideas forth in a way to convince others, and that they would gain knowledge of the thin us of which otherwise they would know little or nothing. But the society grew so large that it became necessarv to bar from membership all Freshmen and Sophomores. This was (’one because in such a large society each member did not have the chance to take part as often as is necessary to receive much benefit In every way. the year’s work has been a great success. We hone that next year the work will be carried on as enthusiastically, and with still greater results: and that this year's disappointed Sophomores will make use of their excellent opportunity and boost heartily for the Philomathean Debating Club. EVERETT MUNRO, Ti. The 5parten-Athenian Banquet The annual Spartan-Athenian debate of our h gh school was held on February 4. ' his debate is annually waged between antagonists chosen from the several classes in Ancient History, all of which are at present taught by Miss Gilpatrick. anil which are composed, in the majority, of Sophomores. This affair is no doubt held to promote the students’ knowledge of Greek History, the oratorical powers of the participants. and the fortitude of the audience; but of vastly greater importance is the banquet which follows. The banquet following this year’s debate was held, after two weeks of great yearning, at the St. Rems 1 Intel. Are not the happiest moments of life and the things which go to make up those moments the lon csr dwelt upon? If they are. whv, should 1 not long dwell upon the things which were the most material in creatmo-an evening, which, for rapturous fulfillment of long-feb desire, may never, and with good reason, in the l� fc of the meanest Sophomore, see an eoual? There is really no sufficient reason. Those causes arc as follows; Bouillon en Tasse Salted Wafers Radishes Green Olives Salmon Croouenes Shoestring Pota oes Baked Chicken with Dressing Snowflake Potatoes Peas cn Casserole Waldorf Salad Vanilla lee Cream Assorted Cake Swiss Cheese Bent Water Crackers Cafe Xoir There was nothing remarkable about the “Bouillon mi Tasse” except the manner in which it disappeared. Hie toastmaster, though a Spartan, showed Athenian superiority here by beating everybody done, and almost starving to death before the next course came. Salted wafers, radishes, and salmon croquets were likewise rapidly enveloped and then Frank O’Pultz, James Murphy, and the rest of the Ir sh availed themselves of a chance to display their talent on the shoestring potatoes. Next came chicken. We loved “Bouillon en Tasse” but “O, you chicken!” Who, unless it was just after a full meal, could bear the torture of such in irresistible-longing if he had no prospect of anv immediate gratification? That person is no Sophomo c. Miss Gilpatrick is a sympathizer with Sparta, anil when the Spartans went down in defeat before the Athenians, she got her revenge on the chicken. No one who has the power of reason could have watched her while she surrounded that luckless Plymouth Rock, and still maintain that woman is tender hearted. The mutual war against the chicken having ended, the Irish quarters of Athens and Sparta now evinced their right of leadership in the attack on the “Snowflake Spuds.” The “Peas in Castor Oil” and the “Waldorf Salad” were vanquished and we all knew that the end was drawing near. The best had not been saved till the last, however, for the chicken had already gone to that bourne whence no chicken returns, unless it is a packing house chicken. Yet our misery in mourning over the departure of the illustrious fowls was in some measure alleviated by the appearance of some ice cream and cake. The last installment of the “gorge” consisted of Swiss Cheese, Bent Wafer Crackers and Cafe Noir. The ever-rcady toastmaster wound up with a finishing sprint which threw the whole assembly into confusion. After half an hour or so, when the others had finished, the big feed was pronounced to be down. Then these self-same gluttons, in the new garb of an attentive audience, listened to the following musical program: Piano Solo—“ Polish Dance”.....Myrl Hubbard Vocal Solo—“To the End of the World With You”......................Starling Burton Piano Solo—“Album Leaf”.... ....Vera Harvey Vocal Solo—“Hark! the Robin's Early Song” ............................Mable Marsh Piano Solo—“Amina”............George Gallupe Reading—“Our Folks”..................Harold Anderson As the last strains of Harold Anderson’s beautiful voice gradually died away, the toastmaster became once more the master of the occasion. The following toasts were given: 1 he V ictors...................... Harold Anderson The Spartans............................Grace Kilbey 1 he Co-Eds........................Weston DeLong I he Boys....................................Eleanor Lole Our History Teacher........ Will Miller I he Greeks.................................... Miss Gilpatrick To the Prevaricators Who Made the Study of Ancient History Possible...........Bruce Knight Toastmaster.................................Luke Gex These were all given with Athenian ability and were listened to with Spartan fortitude. Especially brilliant was the conduct of the toastmaster at this time. After every toast, he was wont to take the floor and give utterance to an exceedingly original, witty, humorous joke. With his irresistible wit he took the house by storm almost equal in fury to his assault upon the viands. We were all thankful to think that we had, inside of us. a supper substantial enough to hold our sides in place. But at last even this supposedly inexhaustible hurricane of hum • abated. Each one looked appealingly at the other fellow, but there was nothing left to do but go: and so, not tarrying to do anything but cut one naughty senior’s hair, we all waddled to our homes and were soon fast asleep, dreaming about the happiest time of our lives. Udlock Prize Debate annual Udlock debate was won this year, the first prize by Will Lynch, and the second prize by Liam Underhill, i here were four teams to contend in the first place. I he winners of the two preliminaries met each other during the last term and the result was as given above. 1 he question for the final debate was, Resolved, That Municipalities Should Own and Control All Public Franchises Now Conferred Upon Corporations.” Mr. K. F. Udlock, a prominent real estate dealer of Grand Junction, gave to Will Lynch a complete set of Shakespeare’s works beautifully hound and to Elam Underhill a set of standard works of poetry. Literary Societies The year 1910 was a live one in respect to the school literary societies in the Grand Junction High School. Debates, parliamentary law drills, papers and declamations flourished in a great degree anti the youthful orators did themselves proud. Nothing hut subjects of great public interest were dealt with in the debates and nothing but the highest class humor and editorials were allowed in the weekly society papers. Great credit is due the teachers who had charge of this work for the very able manner in which they assisted the students. “What is the secret of success?” asked the Sphinx. “Push,” said the Button. “Take pains,” said the Window “Never be lead,” said the Pencil. “Be up to date,” said the Calendar. “Always keep cool,” said the Ice “Do business on tick,” said the Oock. “Never lose your head,” said the Barrel. “Do a driving business,” said th: Hammer. “ Aspire to greater things.” said the Nutmeg. “Make light of everything,” said the fire. “Make much of small things,” said the Microscope. “Never do anything off hand,” said the (ilove. “Spend much time in reflection,” said the Mirror. “Do the work you are suited for,” said the Flue. “Find a good thing and stick to ir ” said the (ilue. “Strive to make a good impression,” said the Seal. Miss Ethel Adams, one of the most popular members of the class of 1910 was unable to graduate with her class on account of an injury to her knee which she sustained early in the year. She was taken to Denver and placed under the care of the most successful surgeons in the state where she recovered slowly but not in time to take up her school work. I Ier absence was regretted by her classmates with whom she had been associated since attending the primary grades. Aspen Reception The Aspen football team and the Aspen visitors were entertained at the home of Weston DeLong, on the evening of October 9, 1909, after a victorious game for Aspen. Notwithstanding our defeat, the teams were unusually jolly and the evening passed quickly away. One of the guests of the evening was Mr. Phidelah Rice the well known elocutionist, who read several very humorous selections. Light refreshments were served by the host. Montrose Reception The reception given by a number of the young men of the high school to the Montrose football team was held in the Margery Hall the evening of the game. A most enjoyable time delighted the large crowd which was in attendance and the happy revellers continued their merry making far into the night. Almost the entire faculty were present to act as chaperones as well as a number of the members of the school board with their wives. All vestiges of antagonistic feeling entirely disappeared as soon as the orchestra struck up the first waltz. The Montrose boys left the next morning for home. he Junior-Senior Poverty Party On the evening of April first,, the Juniors gave to the Seniors, at Alargery Hall, a party, which was, in every way, a striking success. 1 he Juniors facetiously called it a “hard-time ” party, but the suggestiveness oi the name was not entirely apparent to tne guests alter their arrival. Many devices were resorted to by the visitors to gain entrance to the hall. Some arrived in bevies—noticeably young ladies—others at infrequent intervals in the bottoms of wagons; some under paternal guidance, others with hurried steps Irom distant farms, liven the windows were used as doors. Anyway it was a wholesome and enjoyame party, anil possessed flavor and reush not soon to be forgotten. Several members of the under classes gave exnibi-tion- of effrontery which seemed to be greatly appreciated by those foolish would-be jesters; however the outcome made painfully apparent to them, the futility of such immature minds whetting wits against the superior wisdom of their seniors. Sometimes when pasteurized milk and bottled foods have sufficiently developed their infantile brains, it will please them to be called donkeys for that evening’s orgv. Perplexities in the fulfillment of the program caused novel features to be introduced, which gave increased zest to the evening’s entertainment, and a dis play of pluoc and determination by the two classes. Mujic and dancing first served as a pleasant diversion for the company and then other enjoyable games were engaged in until the uoors of the dining room were thrown open, disclosing to ttic eye a sumptous feast. At this juncture the last of the late arrivals came in, readv to do justice to the awaiting luxuries, liut it is unnecessary to recall again the delights of that bountiful repast, which will long remain to us a treasure of our school days. 1 ne following regulations were considered advisable to carry out the idea of the evening: 1. No person was to wear patent, or polished shoes Kine io cents. 2. No jewelry was to be worn. 3. No artificial complexions allowed. 4. No person was to wear a tie or stiff collar. Fine 10 cents. 5. No lady was to wear a dress of any material better than calico or gingham. 6. No gentleman was to wear clothes better than corduroys, overalls or uncreascd trousers. 7. The ladies were to refrain from wearing wigs, puffs, rats, switches or any other device for lengthening, stuffing or ornamenting the hair. Fine 25 cents. 8. (ientlemen with loud socks were to be fined according to the sound of same. 9. No persons were to appear with their hair parted in the middle. Fine io cents. Amid song, jest, and feasting, at an early hour of morning, the echoes of a delightful evening well spent, died away and the various members returned, weary, but happv to their respective homes. HERBERT MELVILLE LOUGH, ’10. Delta Reception I he reception given to the Delta High School, after the Thanksgiving football game, was held at Margery Hall, November 25, 1 hanksgiving evening. I he hall was crowded with enthusiastic high school students from both schools and the musical program, which had been prepared, was warmly received. After the musical program, Mr. Marshall, Physical Director at the Y. M. C. A., introduced several comical, yet interesting, games in which “Zeke” figured prominently. After Mr. Marshall’s games and “Zeke’s” antics had come to an end, the school, gathered around the piano, sang their old football songs and screamed their various yells. But, alas, the best of friends must part, and as the railroad company usually has its own way. Delta parted from us very early in the evening, but not until they had assured us that the bund of friendship still held firm and fast. MISS LINDI FV.

The week was the happiest time in the lives of all the graduates and the hours then spent seemed like minutes. The baccalaureate sermon was delivered in the Congregational church by Rev. E. G. Lane, Sunday, May 22. The class play was given in the Majestic Theatre for two nights, May 23 and 24, and the commencement exercises were held in the Auditorium, May 26. Dr. I . II. II. Roberts of Denver University gave the commencement address and Lucius Currier and I rank Weaver, as valedictorian and salutatorian, gave their talks. After the exercises the graduates, each holding his diploma with careful hands, went to the La Court I Iotel for the banquet. I he Junior-Senior commencement night banquet held this year at the La Court Hotel was the most brilliantly successful social affair ever given by the school. The big banquet room was tastefully yet elaborately decorated with the class colors and the color scheme was carried throughout the menu. Over one hundred guests sat down to the long tables and partook of the sumptuous spread. After the dinner the follow-ing program of toasts was carried out: Toastmaster, Roy Caldwell. “The Senior Class,” Lucile Morrison. “The Junior Class,” Melville Dilley. “The Faculty,” Everett Munro.
