JLI.EN We are proud and happy to have this kind, firm, straight-forward leader. He is each student’s friend, open-hearted always, and anxious to revive and encourage disheartened Freshmen and tired Sophomores, or any others who may need it. I Ie came to us seven years ago, having been graduated with first honors from Oak-wood Seminary, New York, and I laverford College, and he at once raised the standard of Grand Junction's public schools to one of the highest in Colorado. No wonder we value him and extend him praise: he has accomplished something for each one of us, and for the community as a whole. Faculty Roll MISS JULIA TAYI.OR Our Latin instructor, Miss Taylor, is surely one to he proud of. She is a graduate of Boulder University, and has a teacher’s complimentary life certificate in Colorado. She has been given charge of the department of higher l.atin, and not only draws her students' minds to their work, but wins their hearts also. MISS JULIA T. CARLSON Miss Carlson is our school-girl favorite, merry as well as wise, and kind as well as firm. She was graduated from the University of Colorado with an A. B. degree, and has been with us for four years as an instructor of English. For two years she was coach of the girls’ basket-ball team. MR. IIOMER DODOS Mr. Dodds attended the Ottawa (Kansas) Academy. and was graduated from the Ottawa University. He has always been prominent in Y. M. C. A. work, having served as student secretary during his college career, as night secretary in Topeka, and as general secretary in Belleville, Kansas. Mr. Dodds is a Bachelor ol Science, and teaches Biology, Botany, Astronomy, Geology and History. MISS AUGUSTA REICHMUTH Miss Rcichtnuth, our German instructor, though a member of the faculty for only two years, has in that short time proved her wisdom and ability, and endeared herself to each one of us. She graduated with an A. B. degree from Ripon University, in Wisconsin, and came here highly recommended. MISS A. I.. GH.PATRICK Miss Gilpatrick, our Ancient History teacher, was graduated from the Salida High School, and gained the degree of Bachelor of Arts at the University of Colorado. She has visited many places of historical interest in her travels abroad, and brought back stories of knowledge that charm and instruct her pupils. In the three years she has been with us, her warm, frank disposition has won for her hosts of friends. MISS CARRIE IJNDLEY Miss Lindley is our assistant principal, and has charge of the department of Higher Mathematics. During her six years in Grand Junction she has won the admiration and regard of every student by her ability as a teacher and her kindness as a friend. She took a course in Highland University. Kansas, and Chicago University, and was graduated in Knglish Literature and Elocution from the Detroit Training School. MISS MARGARET McGOIVAN .Miss McGowan, although with us only two years, has proved herself a strong, able instructor of first year Algebra. She is a graduate of the State Normal School of South Dakota, and of Colorado College, at the latter having won an A. B. degree. MISS NELLE D. SCOTT There can be no better High School instructor of English in the state than our dignified yet jolly Miss Scott. She is a graduate of the Fort Collins High School and Colorado College, and at the latter took a four years’ course in three years with second honors. Fast summer she traveled through Europe, and in the last year her pupils have been the richer for hearing her interesting accounts of its sights. MISS HELEN A . DECKER Miss Decker, our lively, popular instructor in Latin and English History, came to Grand Junction three years ago from Fort Lupton, Colorado. She was a graduate of the Manual Training High School in Denver, and from Denver University, where she received an A. B. degree. MISS HAZEE ELA Although this is Miss Fla’s first year in our High school, she has proven her ability as a teacher of Beginning Latin and English. She took part of a course in Colorado College, after which she went east to Wellesley College, which is considered the finest ladies’ college in the east, from which she graduated with an A. B. degree. E. E. COLE Dr. Cole, bright, witty and ambitious, is just the principal for us, for he can keep our High School wide awake and active. For seven years he has shown his ability, and won the greatest popularity. Dr. Cole has taught in the schools of Grand Island, Nebraska; La Junta, Colorado, and Pueblo, and possesses a life teacher’s certificate from the state of Nebraska, lie was graduated from the University of Illinois with an A. B. degree, from Denver University as a Doctor of Philosophy, and has a degree of A. M. from Colorado College. SENIOR CLASS SONG [Music: “Morning Invitation.] Away! Away! Away! The stirring call is ringing. Away! Away! Away! New hopes and duties bringing. Away! Away! Away! We'll join in farewells singing. Away! Away! Away! Bravely obey. All our High School work is ended, All our lessons done; Time and labor we’ve expended, But something has been won. Away! Away! Away! We’ll march with faces beaming. Away! Away! Away! I xrt none he idly dreaming. Away! Away! Away! Let all our shields be gleaming. Away! Away! Away! To win life’s fray. Standing firm, if tempting doubts oppose us Rising strong, if mighty wrongs depose us; Bearing brave, if treachery expose us; Granting pardon to them who deceive. Away! Away! Away! The stirring call is ringing. Away! Away! Away! New hopes and duties bringing. Away! Away! Away! We’ll join in farewells singing. Away! Away! Away! Bravely obey. I .et us reverently pray: Father in Heaven, guide us, we pray Thee, And from temptation keep us each day. Lead us to vict’ry, bring all to serve Thee; Help us we pray Thee to master our way.

No future worries borrow, But march, and say: “We’ll win today.” Then away! then away! March on and say That today, that today “We’ll win today.” Then away! then away! Then away ! then away! A PARTING WORD When we realize that graduation time is almost here, our thoughts turn hack to the first day, when we all came marching into room one, with our hearts faint and our knees weak, as we listened to those learned and experienced upper-classmen sing that accusing song, “Nobody Knows How Green They Are.” We look with pleasure upon the coming Commencement; hut, as the time approaches, we cannot help from having moments of thoughtful sadness when we remember that on that last night, as a class, we part forever. We shall never again climb those familiar stairs and gather to talk over our lessons and social affairs. No more shall we be greeted by the smiling faces of our teachers, anti feci the joy of a well prepared lesson or the pain of a failure. With every joy must some sadness be mingled. Parting must always have something of gloom in it. But let us look upon the bright side of things. We have now reached the goal for which we have been striving for four years. To be sure, we must part and each one go his separate way; but we shall soon be entering into a broader and deeper life. Most of us will identify ourselves with the different colleges, and there go through, in a larger sense, what we have gone through in high school. From the colleges we shall go out into the wide world with a firm determination to leave this old sphere at least one mite better than we found it. YValter K. Nelson. On February 21, 1891, the present building, known as the High School building, was dedicated, ft was a magnificent building in the eyes of the citizens occupying the then small town of Grand Junction. But now the old school house has become worn, and the number of students has far outgrown it. This year’s graduating class probably will be the last to go from the old doors, down the old stone steps, and out into the world, the members being scattered in every direction and seeking new fields to conquer. Twenty long years have passed and a score of classes have graduated from the old school, each graduate thinking of the many happy hours passed within the old brick walls. No more will the halls and class-rooms resound with the tramp! tramp! of proud Seniors, haughty Juniors and big-headed Sophomores, although the noise and loud laugh of the Freshmen may be heard for some years yet. No more will the three hundred or more students, composing the four classes, assemble to listen to the interesting talk of some college professor, or a professional man, or to listen to the enchanting music of some artist on the piano or violin. But we must not waste all of our tears thinking of days gone by; wc must look ahead, and think of the new building, which will be waiting next September for the crowd of jolly students who will enter the much brighter and more roomy halls and class-rooms. Think of the broad stairways and the new laboratory. Think of the large auditorium and the statuary around the platform. It makes us almost wish we were Freshmen again and had it to do all over.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The history of the Class of Nineteen Eleven may not, in the writing of it, have many of the wildfire occurrences experienced by some High School classes. Most of the incidents which hind us together as a class, and have given charm and fascination to our four years together here, have been slight ones, and as such are impressed on our minds; yet these arc what make our school life of individual interest and personal pleasure. Among our ranks we boast a Battling Nelson, a modern President Munro, and, besides these illustrious characters, an animate Stone of untold yet not unknown value. Even without our young Frey and “de wise (iuy” we might be called a famous class, and with them our renown is undisputed. Murphys we have, too. The first, our Freshman year passed uneventfully and smoothly enough for most of us, after we had recovered from the sting of abuse and the slams which our upper-classmen thought their duty to inflict upon us on our first visit to room one. Later in the year we even dared to organize for fellowship and protection against our enemies, and we began to feel pity at their shortsightedness in being perfectly oblivious to our sprouting wings. Nevertheless we aspired to be something more than mere “scrubs,” and began to raise our hands and hopes in anticipation of Sophomore superiority. After soaring about in the eleventh heaven of conceit for a while, down we came with a thud to the hard, bitter realization that “those Freshmen” wer even now receiving more notice than we, and our vanity suffered another terrific blow. Inclination said: “Be gay”; the teachers said: “Be good, or the terrible plague of ‘C + ’ will assail your host”; and, if we compromised with our advisers, who can blame us? Recovering from the shock of our disappointed expectancy, we dropped our natural meekness of demeanor, and, speaking in oily whispers, gave vent to our injured feelings, to the dismay of our successors. By the middle of the year the Spartan division had acquired enough voice to carry them victorious through the Annual Debate. Athens opened her gates to the conquerors, and, by a feast lasting far into the night, acknowledged their mastery. Gradually we had found and slipped into our niche. As jostling, jolly Juniors, we worked hard to reach the last step of our 1 ligh School career. We studied with more actual intentness than before, and, as the time before us grew less, we were cheered onward by the thought of two previous years well passed. How sorry we were for the poor unfortunates lower down, who, vowing revengeful deeds on us the night that the two upper classes were to assemble in informal fashion, we so ignominiously defeated, and one of their leaders subsequently shorn of his crown of golden hair! From that time forth all out-of-class-room intervals were assiduously devoted to a heated inter-class conflict, the final outcome of which would be difficult to decide, although Nineteen Eleven lost no honor in the fray. Although we were sorry to see the Seniors leave us, we were anxious to take their places. The last event of the year was a banquet, given in their honor on the eve of their graduation. But our minds, spanning the coming year, were dwelling on thoughts of our own departure, and its work and pleasures. After vacation we assembled for the last time to enroll as members of old G. J. 11. S. We had once been called a class of heathens, and we meant to redeem our names in the short time left us. Some unknown impulse had, in an equally unknown manner, instilled in our innocent minds a new spirit of audacity, and the witty sallies of our Science professor were met with confident replies (entirely unlike our former confusion of manner and suffusion of countenance). Bluffing it out became an art, though sometimes, to our sorrow, an over-practiced one. The Juniors gave us a very enjoyable party—a Washington affair—and proved themselves splendid entertainers. for everyone present reported a most delightful time. We entered Grand Junction High School sixty-six strong, and we leave it thirty-six in number, and of these only thirteen or fourteen started here four years ago. Sortie have fallen behind, some gone to other schools, and, worse than these, grim Matrimony has chosen several to follow her call to the hymeneal altar. I he past contains much pleasure, the present is full of vital interest; the future has in it all of allurement that we can ever picture or fancy to ourselves. We envied the class that preceded us, and we envy the one that will follow: and we bid farewell to our High School with sadness in our hearts, and its memory stamped indelibly on our lives. Georgia Armstrong. C HSS PROPHECY September, 1931! How the time flies! Twenty years ago 1 was a Senior in High School; but now my once raven locks are streaked with gray, my peaches-and-cream complexion is beginning to fade, and my thoughts turn no more to frivolous things, such as slapping Antoinette with the Chem. text and teasing poor little Ethel. Ethel? She and I are devoting our time to our home for orphans. But where are the other wonderful members of our class? I have it! I will consult the new Morsc-F Folmburg Encyclopedia, to be sure. There is one familiar name. Adams, Earl Raborn (1894).—After graduating from the Grand Junction High School in 191 1 and the Denver School of Law in 191 5, Mr. Adams began practicing law in New York, and is now considered one of the best criminal lawyers in the United States. Miss Stone, who is one of the foremost business women in the state, is his private secretary and business manager. It is said that Mr. Adams received his first inspirations from Dr. Cole, who used to discuss the subject of criminal law in the Chemistry class. Caldwell, Roy T. (1889-).—Roy Caldwell specialized in foot-ball during his I ligh School days, and has continued to devote his life to this subject. The name “Caldwell” now takes the place of “Spaulding” on all athletic goods. His eleven husky sons, who are the pride of his hoary head, comprise the Caldwell Foot-Ball Team, champions of the United States. They recently challenged Athens for the international championship and will leave for that country soon. McCary, Philip Henry (1891-).—This great inventor attended school in Gram! Junction, Colorado, where he made a record for himself as half-back on th -High School h'oot-Ball Team. Everyone adored the big hero, and some of his admirers would have kissed his Shadow, but he would not allow this. Being especially devoted to science, he soon became one of the leading scientists of America, and in 1920 invented the Gee Whiz Aireobile, K. M. F. No. 76. Munro, Everett Edward Hale (1893-)-—Dr Everett Munro, formerly of Grand Junction, Colorado, began practicing medicine in Denver, Colorado, in 1918. He rapidly advanced, ami in 1925 founded the Munro Sanitarium, which is the largest and finest san’tarium in the world. In 1920 he married Miss Edith Stuart. This marriage was not a surprise, as it was the culmination of a High School romance. Mr. and Mrs. Munro are now taking a trip around the world; and, during their absence, the sanitarium is in charge of Dr. Chester Brodine, a world-famous surgeon, assisted by Miss Anna Lindhard and Miss I.conc Voils, two competent nurses Nelson, Walter (1885-).—Mr. Nelson, professor of Greek in Harvard University, who was distinguishable from infancy by his grave, dignified bearing, assumed his position in 1918. One characteristic peculiar to him is his ability to detect at once all compatible ponies and folding novels in the class-room. In 1913 he was married to Miss Reva McCann; but this proved to be a sad mistake, for they were divorced two years later; and Miss McCann, in company with Miss Althea Harris, is now doing a great work as a missionary in Nova Zembla. Underhill. Elam (1883).—This noted American acquired his education and oratorical powers in the Grand Junction High School, where he won great honors as a debater. Elam, who was very decided in his views, became a staunch Socialist soon after graduating. Every year he delivers famous lectures and stump speeches, which are carefully recorded, and some are being used in the high schools in place of Burke’s “Conciliation,” Ruskin’s “Sesame and Lilies” and Bacon’s “Essay of Great Place.” Some of Mr. Underhill’s latest hooks are “Roses and Chart,” “Underhill’s Battle x,” “Freedom's Cry” and “Rays of Hope,” the latter a book written immediately after one of his disastrous love affairs. One night 1 saw an excellent play at the Orpheum, which included the comedian, James Murphy, in a spit with Rebekah Miller, entitled “The Morning After the Night Before.” Two young cub reporters, who said that their names were Lawrence Terrill, Junior, and George Burckhalter, Junior, told us that Mr. Murphy and .Miss Miller had been on the Orpheum circuit ever since their high school days, where they discovered their ability to act together. During the chorus, a trio of airy-fairy dancing girls, who were billed as Ellen, Georgia and Bertha, pirouetted around the stage in a manner which showed wonderful ability and which received much applause. After the performance we lost no time in making our way to the stage, and in the conversation which followed we found that Rebekah was still as good an authority as she used to be in the old high school days. “I guess you knew,” she said, “that Courtland and Dan were quite prominent in the war with the F'iJi islands?” “I heard something about it,” replied Ethel; “but I was never much interested in history, so I don’t know the particulars.” “Courtland has achieved great renown on account of his wonderful deeds of heroism; and it was through Dan’s fluency of speech that peace was finally established and the islands annexed to United America,” continued Kcbekah. “We ran across Medeline and Antoinette in New York one day. They are still the Gatt girls, and are regular globe-trotters.” “But what has become of Clarence?” I asked. “Oh, haven’t you heard of him?” giggled Ellen. “He is starring in “The Merry Bachelor,” and Adalia is the leading lady. They say that Cupid is quite busy in that direction.” “And I have seen Marcedus and Ruby several times,” chimed in Georgia. “T hey arc Salvation Nells now, and Guy is their chauffeur. You knew that George has charge of the Frey Dancing Academy in Boston?” “No, I did’nt,” said Ethel; and later, after we had left the theater, she observed, in her own little way: “I remember when Miss Gilpatrick once said that all the members of the Class of 1911 were stars; and, Nina, wasn’t it Billie Shakespeare, or was it Dr. Cole, who said: “All the world’s a stage, and all the mm and women merely players: they have their exits and entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts”? Nina Earle Burton. CLASS WILL Faculty and Friends: The Class of Eleven, which is about to die, salutes you. Her Majesty, Eleven, has called you together before her death to hear her will and receive her gifts. Please prepare yourselves for what she has to tell. A consultation of doctors was called on Monday, May the lirst,—doctors never known to fail in their prognostications. They have announced that, on May 25th, Eleven must die. They state that, owing to a lightness of the head, caused by the gradual swelling during the last four years, and a heaviness in the heart, caused by the thoughts of parting and of never being able to over-feast again, she (Eleven) will be obliged to give to you such goods as she has, and prays that you may not think that the reason she is so generous is that she can no longer keep her goods. The Will We, the Class of Eleven, being about to leave this sphere, in full possession of a sound mind, memory and understanding, do make and publish this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. First, we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and enemies, the Faculty and Educational Board, only enjoining that the funeral be with all the dignity which our pomp and situation in the school circles has merited. In regard to these statements and the natural good judgment and strong arms, we do dispose of our goods as follows, to-wit: Item . We give ami bequeath to the Board of Education the honor of having graduated the last class from the old building. We grant them restful nights and peaceful dreams. We promise them rest from our petitions, and no more will they be pained to refuse such. Item II. We give and bequeath to our sister. Twelve, all the health and prosperity she may need. (She seems to get everything else unaided.) We give her all our vacant scats on the Senior side, and a chance to equal our excellent records in school and athletics.

You think you're thinking—think of that— The thought has come to you; But do you think of what you think, In thinking as you do? In thinking that you think you think Of thinking that you thought, It makes me think you thought you thought Of thinking quite a lot. But, then, suppose your thinking Of thoughts you didn’t think, Perchance an unthought thought you thought Was just on thinking’s brink. You see, you’d thought of thinking Of the thought you thought you thought; And did the thought you’re thinking of Come thinking, at your call? Or do you think you think you thought Of thinking, after all? Take little drops of wisdom. Anil grains of learning add; Then, lo! a mighty Senior Comes from a Junior cad.

We are just plain school kids, and our history is that of a typical Junior class in High School. Upon our first day as Freshmen we were hailed with that same old song, How Green They Are!” just as other Freshmen have been greeted by it. nor did we come any nearer to believing. And so on with everything. YVe settled down to work, and learned to know our lessons and our teachers. When the first year rolled by we had more confidence in ourselves. We found that we had great athletes and scholars of our own; we learned that life is real, life is earnest”; and we discovered that the law called “the survival of the fittest” had left us stronger anil better fitted for our next year of work. As Sophomores, we procured some larger hats, stood up straightcr, looked fiercer and began things with a high hand. Our mental capacity made that sudden and remarkable increase which is common to all Sophomore classes. We acquired all the virtues of which Bacon ever heard, and then some. By Ancient History we were made wise; by Geometry, subtle; by many fine poems, witty; by non-union penal hours, deeply philosophical and grave, and, by logical teachers and Rhetoric, able to contend. We made use of all these good qualities, often in offsetting others, for to be angels on earth is not wise. Particularly fortunate to us was the last characteristic, for it was used in deciding the supremacy of Athens over Sparta. This awe-inspiring question, ‘‘Resolved, that Sparta was greater than Athens,” was argued by the following debaters: Affirmative—Scott Heckman, Miriam Wells and Harold Anderson; negative—Thomas Charles, Ev-irett Munro and Anna Martin. After a most hair- raising display of wisdom, wit, subtlety, philosophy and logic, the negative was adjudged victorious. In commemoration of the Spartans, the Athenians and the great contest, a banquet was held, and victors anil victims alike made merry. In connection with this feast arose an incident without which our history would not be complete. Some upper-classmen, in a friendly sort of way, sought to keep us from our cherished feed: but, alas! they did not look before they leaped, and they lit hard. The combination of Athens and Sparta was too much for any opponent. Our victory, of course, led to some lively rivalry, both physical and oratorical; but things finally wound up in the same friendly spirit in which they began and with honors about even. I lowever, the affair had one decidedly amusing feature. The newspapers seized upon it and painted it in a hue whose luridness and intensity increased directly as the cube of the distance from the source. I lad the scrapping been good for nothing else, it would have been worth while because it served to bring out these masterpieces of exaggeration. If the stories of our bloody battles had circled the globe, we could not have read them on their return, for we all would have been dead. But of our atrocious murders we arc not in the least ashamed. We like to keep our blood in circulation; ami “a little scrapping now anil then-------is relished bv the best of men.” Inspired by the deeds of the Spartans and Athenians, our class also produced wonderful athletes. Nine of the foot-ball players and six of the base-ball team were Sophomores. In the cross-country runs our runners won most of the points. Our athletic career was marred hv only one thing, the inter-class track meet. We hoped to win this, but, alas! we had wrought our own downfall. During the class scraps the Juniors had so perfected their powers of flight that our runners now saw and heard nothing of them save a few white blurs and the faint sound of rapidly receding footfalls. At the time of this writing we have been Juniors for six months. We are old now, and “silver threads among the gold” are beginning to show. The hot impetuosity of our youthful days is over, and we have grown sage and conservative. We, in our turn, have reached that place where we look back with regret and forward with fear. Our days are studious; we study and learn all of our lessons as if that were our only ambition; and we groan at the hours we have wasted and sigh to think how few of the “dear old Golden Rule days' are left. We realize what a pity it is that most pupils do not become students until they have so little time left for study. Rut our own lesosn is learned, and hereafter our hours will be fruitful ones. This year we have done well. Our brains have grown some, and our desire to have them do so, more. We have made a great step toward wisdom, realizing that there are things which we do not know. In physical powers we have made like advancement: our class furnished eight men for the championship foot-ball team of western Colorado; we have done our share in basket-ball: we shall be just as generous to base-ball, and. there having been no class scraps this year, we hope to win the field and track meet. Neither has our attention toward social affairs been neglected. Upon the night of February 21st we gave a party in honor of the Seniors. Many foolish games were indulged in by the two classes, games which are valuable because they bring people together and make them forget their cares. There were good things to eat and drink; there was music; there were songs and dances, and everybody was happy and gay. Four lines might explain it all— “The night shall be filled with music. And the cares that infest the day Shall fold their tents like the Arabs, And as silently steal away.” The character of the Junior Class is typical of the American I ligh School of today. We do not think that we have any geniuses: we only know that we, as a whole, possess mental, physical and moral strength. Probably there are no future Schillers or Shakespeares among us; but we are like the good people of whom they wrote. We do not ask to become great, for we know that the few can lead and the many must follow. Then, only let us go out and make useful and happy men and women, and the purpose for which we are being sent to school will be accomplished. “Yet a few more days” and we all shall be Seniors. Then, as all Seniors probably do, we shall look back upon the present and say: “I wish myself could talk to myself. As I see him a year ago: I could tell him a lot that would save him a lot. Of the things he ought to know! But “Youth’s sweet-scented manuscript must close.” One short year and we reach the parting of the path. Soon the Juniors will be nothing but the memory of a good class in a good school. Bri ck Knight. SOPHOMORES Hi gh Steele.—Mother’s darling; teacher’s pet. Gladys Adams.—Carrot top.

In writing the history of the Class of 1913 I line! that I am hindered by a very unusual combination of affairs; by a fear that perhaps an account of our wonderful progress and brilliancy will discourage the other classes, and by a great sense of modesty (characteristic of Sophomores). I hope that, in relating our unusual history, the Freshies will not yield to utter despair, but rather be inspired; because, dear Freshies, though you can never reach such great heights as we have (we being a phenomenal class), we hope to guide you to more elevated plains. On entering High School on September 7, 1909, we attracted much attention, not by our verdancy of appearance, as ordinary Freshies do. but by our stately bearing and intellectual faces. When that long-dreaded first morning came, and we marched reluctantly and stumblingly to assembly, our fortitude nearly left us. I lowevcr, our fighting blood was aroused when we saw the sneering faces of the upper-classmen and heard that awe-inspiring, blood-curdling dirge, “How Green They Are! and our reassurance came back as we lustily yelled back: “Listen to ’em veil! Listen to ’em yell! They aren’t so many if their heads do swell!’’ I his exposition of “backbone” was carried out during the whole year as we marched valiantly along through First Algebra, Latin, English and History. Our Literary Societies showed again our remarkable ability, and the school paper, edited every two weeks, developed a sense of humor as well as good dispositions. Some of our beloved fellow classmen seemed so fond of the Freshman teachers and studies that they were willing to be left behind. After a pleasant and profitable vacation of three months, we entered school in the fall. Although much fewer in number, we were determined to keep up our unusual standing. Daily we have Taylored new robes for Caesar, and have read his inimitable history of the “Gallic Wars” in a manner peculiarly our own and quite different from Miss Taylor’s. But Latin gets very “prosy” on Fridays. Prose is the thorn of the Latin rose. Our horror of composition knows no bounds. We arc so bright in Plane Geometry that Miss Lind-Icy recites our lessons for us, often. We are regular cyclones in Ancient I listory. Page after page of our thick, gray, text book has been eagerly devoured by our eyes and absorbed by our brains so thoroughly that we have gained so wonderful a comprehensive knowledge of the subject that it will never( ?) leave us. We certainly do English as well as Miss Carlson does us, to a finish. Multitudes of poems are strewn along our path, which, we might incidentally note, is the straight and narrow way. Our themes!—Miss Carlson declares that she never read any like them. On February 3 our great annual Spartan-Athenian debate was held. The question was “Resolved, that Athens was greater than Sparta.” This year the girls debated against the boys, and the former chose for their representatives Lenore Norris, Gladys Hampton and Margaret Cole, while the latter chose George Gallupe, Chester Brodine and Duncan Collins. The girls were victorious, Margaret carrying off the honors. The banquet came two weeks later, and such a feast as we did nave! We shall never forget it. We hope to be jolly Juniors next year; and, in con- eluding this, our last will and testament as Sophomores, we leave the untarnished name, “Sophomore,” to you, I reshies, and may you leave it as unstained as we do; and we lay aside all bitter feelings toward the Faculty for the many long lessons and hard tests, realizing that, after all, they were given for our benefit.

One hundred and forty Freshmen added to the school roll. All classes were called to assembly, and we, the little Freshies, came in last. Amid the jeers and hoots of those despised Sophomores, who are little more than Freshies themselves, we marched to our scats. It did seem as though our feet had never been so large or our hands so conspicuous and out of place. The Juniors and Seniors were chanting a little song about our greenness. The Sophomores didn’t dare to join them, for they knew they were barely over the line themselves. At last the ordeal was over, and we began our distracted search for our class rooms, and late in the morning each Freshman was in his right place. Our Class colors are olive and gold. A literary is given about every two weeks, the program being made up of debates, recitations, readings, book reports and parliamentary-law drills. A Class paper is also an important factor in the literaries. SALVE A young thing had a heart that ached, her honey-hoy having taken his affections elsewhere; so her father shut himself up with her to reason with her.

Every time he called he cleaned out the refrigerator; your mother will sec to it that your brothers do this in the future.

Not only the championship of the Western Slope (which was taken from Delta) was won, but the championship of Western Colorado. The schedule for 1910 took in more schools than ever before. The past year was an epoch maker for local athletics. With an early start, and hard work from the start, we won our first game, and continued to win throughout the season. The School Board was very fortunate in securing the services of Jack DuAule as coach, as he proved to he a most efficient trainer for the team. A very brief outline of the season follows: Our first game, on September 17, with the Teller Indians, was won with little trouble, with the score of 11 to o. On October 1 the team was given a long trip to Gunnison, Colorado, where we easily won with the score of 19 to o to our credit. The following week the team went to Aspen, whose team held the championship for 1909. Here was expected one of our hardest games. After a hard game the score stood 28 to o in favor of the Grand Junction Tigers. On October 15 the Montrose team, accompanied by a large crowd of rooters, and by the fickle degree of luck, for the first time in the season scored on the Grand Junction team. After one of the hardest games of the season, the Tigers emerged in victory, the score being 10 to 6. Two weeks later the Leadville team, which had won a few games on the Eastern Slope, came to Grand Junction, and ate the dust at the rate of 54 to 2. On November 3 the team played at Salt Lake City, and was defeated by the score of 35 to 6. This being the first time to play on a grass field and with a much larger school besides, the poor condition of the team at this time did not entirely explain the adverse score of 35 6. ' At Montrose, on a newly plowed field, the I igers were held to the score of o to o. On Thanksgiving Day the strong Salt Lake team again defeated the Tigers, after a hard and exciting game, with the score 22 to 6. A game with the Pumpkin Rollers, alias Fruita High School, closed the season with the good score of 29 to o in favor of the Tigers. Though the school regrets the loss of ex-Captain Caldwell, McCary, Burckhalter, Frey, Budelier and Francis, the next year’s team looks like it will be able to sustain, stand or add to it. There were many scrubs who by next year will be able to fill positions on the first team, and the outlook for a winning team is most promising. The old men who will be back are Captain-Fdect Walker, DcLong. Hards, Heckman, Hines, Reed, Merrill and Miller. In conclusion, we sec no reason why, under the leadership of Walker, a foot-ball man from head to foot, the team next year should not rank among the best in the state. Wilbur Haros, ’12. GIRLS’ BASKET-BALL A basket-hall season, or the season of any athletic event, should not be judged as a success merely by the number of games won, but also by the knowledge of the game, swiftness and accuracy that was acquired by the players as a whole. Thus we must put down success to the credit of this season's Basket-Ball Team, as these three things were gained by the team, and also two games were won. The majority of the girls were new players, who had never played the game before, and, in fact, who knew nothing of the game at all. The first part of the season was taken up in familiarizing the girls with the game; thus the season was handicapped and the team could not materialize quickly. But the girls rapidly grasped the whole idea of the game, and, before the close of the season, some of them became very active, energetic players, and these players will next year be very able to make a winning team with the knowledge and experience gained this year. The team as a whole played good ball—far better than has been played for years—and the honor falls to this team of having won the first games since 1906, of which honor the players are very proud. Although all of the girls played good hall, yet there were a number who were superior to the others and should be ranked as stars. Bessie Miller was the most accurate, efficient forward, and to her belongs the credit of making the most points. Although Bessie was foremost as forward, yet Helen Burckhalter played good, steady ball and was always ready to play her best and hardest. The great ground gainers and the most efficient field players were Gertrude Lane, guard, and Victoria Wilhelmy, running center. May Nelson, as guard, played a splendid game at the close of the season, and she will, no doubt, be one of the strong players next year. The success of this year’s Basket-Ball Team is due largely to the good coaching of Mr. Marshall, who worked hard and untiring in order to make a winning team. It is hoped that the girls will make as great an effort next year as Mr. Marshall did this year to make a championship team. Continuous victories bring about over-confidence, unsteady practice and failure to profit by the methods of playing by opposing teams; while defeats, occasionally, bring about the contrary results; consequently the play- crs this year have perhaps gained more through their defeats than they would have gained by repeated victories. The teams with which games were played this year were Montrose, Mount Lincoln, Y. M. C. A., Montrose and Palisade. Tiie Team. Running Center______________Victoria Wilhelmy, P. G.

This year was probably the most unfavorable year for athletics the school has ever had and a very poor year to start a basket-ball team. On acocunt of the scarcity of money in the treasury of the Athletic Association, a separate association was organized for basket-ball. Mr. Callaway kindly offered to help the boys out by coaching them, and practice was soon started. The first game was played here against the Telluride High School Team, and it resulted in a victory for our Hoys. Games were also played with Palisade, Mount Lincoln and Clifton, with varying success. Next year, with practically the same material and with the start given this year, a good team should be organized.

Pockets full of salve: Two and twenty legs all Punctured at the calve. Captain in the hospital, Full-back in the soup; Six or seven faces All broken in the group. Sophomores and Freshmen Punched around the ring; When the war is over The boys began to sing: ‘‘What's the matter with Junction ? They’re all right! “What’s the matter with Junction? Out of sight! “They’re awfully fond of the fairer sex, But Junction’s the team that brings in the checks. So, what’s the matter with Junction? They’re all right!” TRACK The prospects tor track this spring are good. There are no new men, but the old ones are much better than heretofore. They are slow to start training; but, as the time for the Interscholastic meet approaches, much interest is being aroused. We have started out by breaking last year's record in the cross-country run. The race was over the same old course, and last year's time was bettered by two men. LeVan, who got second, beat Welch’s time (21 :2 1) of last year by 10 seconds; and Knight, who now holds the record, ran in 2 1 flat. We hope to have some new records to set down this year. BASE-BALL It is a little early for much on base-ball, but the boys are out working, and with several new players expect to have some interesting games. As yet they have only played one game, which resulted in a defeat of 5 to 4 in the tenth inning. They arc playing ball, all right, and will do all in their power to make it interesting for those who are scheduled to plav against them. They hope to get games with all the high schools on the Western Slope. THE SPAR TAN-A THEN I AN A V NUAL BANQUET After much meditation, the St. Regis Hotel was resolved upon as a suitable place to hold this great feast, which was given on the evening of February 17, 1911. It was a wise plan for the toastmaster and one of the toasters to “ditch” for the hotel at three, for fear they might meet a Junior and might yield to a pleasant auto ride in the country with him. But, much to our surprise, and perhaps a little to our disappointment, no class scrap was started. However, we know that most of the Junior boys were lurking in alleys and behind back fences to capture the different Sophomores as they went peacefully to the banquet. We are pleased to say that they all arrived safely and at a reasonable hour, having evaded all pursuers. At nine o’clock all Hocked eagerly to the dining- room. The tables were arranged in the form of the letter “T,” with places set for forty. Dainty booklets served as menu cards, place cards and programs, anil were found at each place, together with a pink carnation and a sprig of smilax. The menu consisted of— Fscalloped Oysters Young Celery Queen Olives Lemon Sherbet Chicken Fricasee a la Champignon Creamed Potatoes Green Peas in Cases Combination Salad Vanilla Ice Cream Assorted Cakes Coffee As the last cup of coffee disappeared, our toastmaster, George Gallup, commenced the following program of toasts: The Girls—Victors_______________________________Duncan Collins The Boys—Spartans_________________________________Ruth Rankin The Debaters----------------------------Am rah Smith Response--------------------------------Lenore Norris Our History Teacher—Miss Gilpatrick. -Kenneth On- Response—“To the Sons of Hellas”____Miss Gilpatrick Our Own G. J. 11. S--------------------Chester Brodinc After the last patriotic words to Our Own G. J. H. S. died away, the whole banquet party yelled “Nigger! Nigger!” from the depths of their strong Colorado lungs, and then repaired to the reception room. There a pleasing musical program was rendered. Clara Barton, Carl Toupain and Margaret Cole each entertained the attentive listeners with piano solos, after which several rags were played by different ones present. Slowly and reluctantly we tore ourselves away from the company of our friends, and, weary hut happy, re turned to our respective homes. Amrah Smith, '13. MON 7'ROSE RECEPTION In the evening, after the games with Montrose, on November 1 2, a reception to the visiting teams was held in Odd Fellows Hall. In spite of the rain, a goodly number of High School students were present to cheer our teams and console with the Montrose people. Speeches were made by students from both schools, and an impromptu musical program was enjoyed. At an early hour some of the boys and girls accompanied the Montrose people to their train. We were sorry to see them go, hut a longer stay here was impossible. SALT LAKE RECEPTION. On Thanksgiving evening, November 24, was held the reception to the Salt Lake Foot-Ball Team. The « tficials of the Y. M. C. A. kindly gave the I figh School the use of the handsome Y. M. C. A. building, and hospitably threw open the entire building for the reception. The rooms were crowded with High School students who, despite the defeat of the afternoon, seemed to feel very jolly. In the gymnasium a basket-ball game was played for the interest of the spectators. An enjoyable musical program was then given, which was enthusiastically received. At ten o’clock both foot-hall teams and the Girls’ Basket-Ball Team adjourned to Miller’s confectionery store, where refreshments were served. Kveryone went away declaring that he had enjoyed a pleasant evening SEN OR HAY-RACK RIDE During Christmas vacation, on the night of December 28, the Seniors enjoyed a hay-rack ride. It hail been planned to have a sleigh ride; but, as Nature did not favor this plan with enough snow, a hay-rack ride was substituted. They drove out to F.dith Stewart’s, where refreshments were served and a very pleasant evening passed. Mr. and Mrs. Cole acted as chaperons, and eagerly entered into the enjoyment of the evening. At an early hour the next morning they returned to their respective homes, tired but happy. JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY On the evening of February 21 the Juniors royally entertained the Seniors in Turn Vercin Hall. About seventy Juniors and Seniors were present, who were chaperoned by Mrs. Horace T. DcLong and Mrs. Frank Haskell. College and High School banners were appropriately and tastefully used in the decoration of the hall. The first part of the evening was spent in playing various games which had been provided, after which an entertaining musical program was given. The High School Orchestra was present and delighted the guests with excellently rendered pieces. They also furnished the music for the dancing which was a feature ot the evening’s enjoyment. During the entire evening light refreshments were served. Upon taking their leave, the Seniors gave hearty cheers for the Juniors who had made themselves so entertaining. COMMENCEMENT WEEK On account of publishing The Annual earlier than usual, it will he impossible to give a full account of the Commencement festivities, hut an approximate program will he given. The Baccalaureate Sermon will he preached by Rev. Munro of the Congregational Church, Sunday night, May 21. On May 22 and 23, at the Park Opera House, the Senior Class will give their play, “She Stoops to Conquer.” Commencement Exercises will he held at the Park Opera House May 25, and a banquet will probably follow the same night. Other receptions and parties will he spiced in, and a very enjoyable week is promised for all. Two microbes sat on a pantry shelf. And watched, with expressions pained, The milkman’s stunts: and both said at once: “Our relations are getting strained.” THE REASON WHY The Editor sat in his sanctum, Letting his lessons rip; Racking his brain for an item, And stealing all he could clip. The Editor sat in his class-room As though he had no spunk. Ilis phiz, was clouded with awful gloom, For he made a total flunk. ORCHESTRA. Probably nothing gives more pleasure and entertainment to the High School life than good music. This year, for the first time since 1907, the Grand Junction High School has had an orchestra. Soon after school opened last fall the idea found its way into the minds of several that there was good talent in school for an orchestra; consequently a meeting of those interested was called, and they formed an organization of six or eight members. Professor Parker was engaged as instructor, and under his excellent training it was not long before they were producing fairly good music. More students joined the organization until now it is composed of eleven members. Their first appearance was made at the musicale given by the High School, and soon it was not unusual for them to receive an invitation to play for high-class entertainments. Constant practice and repeated appearances in public gained for them the reputation of being the best organization of the kind in western Colorado. It is hoped that the organization will continue next year with still better results.

Several years ago, recognizing the need of special work along this line, a separate debating club was organized under the direction of Dr. E. E. Cole. The club became so popular that it was found necessary to limit the membership, and at the present time the club is composed of Juniors and Seniors exclusively. During the present school year the club has taken charge of one Literary program each month. In addition to this work they have held their regular closed meetings and social gatherings. Last year Mr. E. E. Udlock, a prominent business man of Grand Junction, offered, as a stimulus, a fine set of books to the best debating team of the Juniors and Seniors. Last year Will Lynch carried away first prize, and Elam I nderhill received five volumes of Lowell's poems as a second prize. This year Mr. Udlock offered another set of books to the winning debating team. Elam Underhill won first prize this year, and Everett Munro won a set of Longfellow’s poems as a second prize. It is difficult to over-estimate the importance of this work as a feature of the High School training. It not only aids in the development of good analytical thought, but also trains students to express themselves clearly, and promotes sociability among the students of the High School.

The following year, however, it had grown into sufficient favor to warrant a start in this direction: and the breezy little play, “Bob,” as half the evening’s program —the other half being individual numbers—was the modest beginning of a now established custom so formal and so formidable that it involves a vast amount of time and labor, as it does also hundreds of dollars’ outlay and income. The next year the same plan was followed with “Men, Maids and Match Makers” as the play. In 1907 “The Artist and the Lady,” otherwise known as “Because I Love You.” made the entire program; and in 1908 the two plays, “The Young I)r. Devine” and “The Princess.” The next class followed with “The College Widow,” and last year “As You Like It” was presented. As will be observed, the range of plays has been wide, indeed. In the beginning, while the plan was still an experiment, we ventured timidly, and essayed the simplest sort; but, as the High School grew in influence, the Senior Class in numbers and the confidence to do. and our friends in their demands upon us, the choice of the play became one of the hardest features of the whole affair and at the same time the one where, perhaps, we could least afford to make a mistake. One who has had no experience in such work can hardly realize the many needs to be reckoned with and the variety of opinions as to the purpose of a class play; but those responsible for it quite generally agree that a play presented by an educational institution as the culminating event of a twelve years’ work should have decided literary, as well as dramatic and entertaining value. They know that amateurs can in no respect, so far as interesting the general public is concerned, compete with professional performers; and they feel that the play has attained its legitimate purpose when the pupils have had the cultural benefit that must come with the faithful study of a masterpiece, and have given to their parents and friends the pleasure of witnessing its expression. This year, as always, play after play was read and rejected, until it was decided to produce “She Stoops to Conquer,” further described by its second title, “The Mistakes of a Night,” written by Oliver Goldsmith in 1773- had a hard struggle to get upon the stage; it succeeded, however, and so well that its principal roles have all been played by many famous actors. Its revival about forty years ago has been followed by its almost total abandonment by professionals, but it has always been extremely popular with schools and colleges. It is one of the very few plays in the language in which is preserved the unity of time and place, which by the (� reek dramatists was considered essential. It is simple, vet ingenious and interesting as to plot, natural as to character, brisk as to action—filled with life and spirit from beginning to end. When we present this delightful comedy on May 22 and 23 it will be fully costumed and properly staged by a cast of bright, earnest, appreciative young people who are ambitious to “hold the record” of their High School for this class of work.

'Fell me about it.” “Well, it was this way: Some time in the early part of the season we were talking about the prospects for 1910, and the remark was made that we ought to win the Western Slope championship. Doc didn’t think so. We did, and intimated as much. ‘Well,’ says Doc, ‘if you do, I’ll treat the team to an oyster supper.’ ‘You're on,’ says we; and we did. Yes, we did a little more—we made it Western Colorado; and Doc gave the supper.” “Well, was it just oysters?” “Just oysters!!! I should say not! This is what we had to eat, or rather what we did eat: Oyster Cocktail Chicken Paddies Cream Spuds and Mushrooms Peas Pickles and Olives Fruit Salad Ice Cream and Cake Mints, Nuts and Coffee and two nigger kids to serve it. “The table was all dressed in the good old Orange and black, and in fact the whole house was; and for place cards they gave us little foot-balls with our names on them. I have mine yet.” “What did you do for amusement?” “Let me see. Oh, yes! Dr. Warner was there, and spoke to us on the physical, moral and mental values of foot-ball. Mr. C. E. Ross presented the loving cup, and made us a nice little speech on the value of athletics. Captain Hards received the cup; and, after a short speech by Coach Jack D’Aule, ex-Captain Caldwell gave the history of foot-ball in (i. J. H. S. from the beginning. Then we enjoyed ourselves in various ways until a late hour, and, in leaving, gave yells for individual players, individual supporters and foot-ball in general. “It was some swell time.” PRIZE STORY CONTEST [Editor's Noth.—In order to obtain a first-class story for The Annual, prizes were offered for the best original stories written by I ligh School students. Six weeks’ time was allowed for preparation, and some very excellent stories were received. The judges—Miss Scott, Leone Voils and Lawrence Terrill—awarded the first prize to Bruce Knight, and second to Levi Morse. I lonorable mention was given to Sarah Westfield, who received third choice. Following is Mr. Knight’s story.] A Ghost From “The Tomb’’ I The deep hatred which I bore Pope rose from the memory of annoyance, injury and outrage. Now I was to have revenge. He had fallen into my hands by his own stupidness, and I did not intend to have him escape. What had brought him to my Tennessee home I did not know or care; but I felt convinced that he would never go away. 1 low easily he was beguiled by my smiles and talk of old friendship! How simple and unsuspecting to be lured into that cave that afternoon! For a long time we had been walking thru the passages, vaults and arches, leaving the daylight farther and farther behind us. The gloom of the place was intense. There was no light save that of our torches, and this cast sickly and ghostly reflections upon the walls of the grottos. In some places huge crystals hung down like icicles; in others there were white films on the walls. Sometimes we found ourselves in caves of black, smooth walls; at others we walked thru cells of jagged sides, all filled with ghastly, fantastic shapes. In some places our foot-falls were as silent as death and as echoless as a grave, while in others they awakened loud and awful reverberations. But none of these grotesque things had power to apall me. I was familiar with the place, large as it was, and, besides, I bail a mission! At times my companion would cast fearful, furtive glances about, but I always reassured him. Sometimes I chuckled at the thought of my revenge, and then he would start up in terror, for even these slight sounds caused an ominous whispering around us. “It is only an obi joke I was thinking of,’’ I would say, and then recall some amusing incident of our boyhood days. Then, with his composure restored, we would proceed, but always toward a certain place which I knew. Now the passage began to widen, the roof to grow higher, and I knew that his journey was nearly ended. ‘A ou see,” I said, “that I know this cave perfectly. We have come several miles, yet I can easily retrace every foot of the way. Do not fear to follow. Soon we shall come to a very interesting place, a strange place, so strange that you may wish to stay there—a long time.” At last we came upon the brink of the goal. My heart pounded heavily, yet I controlled my voice as I explained the place to him. ‘‘You may wonder,” said I, “at first sight, why I have brought you here. But listen :—this is not, as it appears to be, merely a hole in the rock: it is a peculiar cell. It is shaped like an inverted cone; is about six feet in diameter at the top and twenty-five at the bottom, which is only fifteen feet below. Flowing thru the bottom is a rapid stream of warm, turbid water. The walls of this little funnel are very smooth,” I said, giving him a violent shove, ‘‘making it impossible for anyone, once in, to ever get out!” Leaning over the edge, with my torch held in front of me, I saw him pitch forward and strike the stony bottom. lie gave a groan of pain, and I could not contain my joy. I latrcd, memory of abuses, and delight over revenge mingled into such a violent emotion that I was no longer master of myself. I doubled my fists; I waved my arms; I gave a wild, hysterical yell. “Let me introduce you to ‘The Tomb’!” I cried. “It is a very interesting place, a strange place,—so strange that you may wish to stay here—a long time!” The more he groaned, the more insane became my delight and shouting, until the echoes became so loud and terrible that I feared they would betray my crime. I grew silent, and he began to plead. At first he remonstrated against my act. To this I said nothing. 1 hen he tried to laugh at it, and told me that it was too rough a joke. Still I was silent. At last he began piteously begging me to let him out; but I paid no heed. I put a lighted torch by the brink of “The Tomb” and started away. “I hope,” said I, “that you will think of our boyhood days. I am doing this only for the sake of old times. Mere is this torch—no doubt you will escape before it burns out. But, really, I am in a hurry, and now I must go. When you get out, come and pay me a visit.” I walked away. Farther and farther I drew from the scene of my crime; fainter and fainter became the sounds of his pleading voice. Suddenly I stopped for a moment and listened. All was silent now, and I turned to go again. But, just as I started on, a peculiar, startling noise burst forth—a deep and sullen “Boom! The black cliffs and grottos caught up the sound, and it leaped from crag to cavern with the hollow voice ol thunder. My terror was extreme. I hastened thru the dark arches and passage-ways with as much fear of the ghastly shadows and ominous echoes as if they had been so many shapes and voices of specters. From that time on my life knew no peace. My crime weighed me down. At first it was only an uneasiness, a certain dread of detection: but from this it grew to be a horrible, haunting fear. I moved from my old home, but it followed me. I left the country, I roved from place to place: but always my days were spent in the living tomb of my victim. During both toil and revelry my thoughts reverted to the scene of his slow and terrible death. I coulel hear him crying out my name, long after I had gone: I could see him stop feverishly to listen, and could hear his only answer— the weird reverberations. Again I could see him in the frenzy of despair, sobbing and mangling his fists on the stony walls, and once more as he tried in vain to drink from the stream, and choked on the water, for it was warm, murky and fetid. Then my fancies pictured him a corpse, his body slowly decaying, till at last there was nothing but a fearful-looking skeleton. Soon my revolting reveries took a new turn. 1 feared that the arm of vengeance was after me. From a fear it grew to a foreboding: and one dark, stormy night I felt that the ghost of the man whom I had slain was seeking me. Fight the foolish fancy as I would, it grew. I he more I scoffed, the more vivid became the impression, until at last I shrank and trembled from the reflections of the yellow lamp-light and at the moaning of the wind as if from ghosts and their sobbing. In this state of mind I fell asleep. But even slumber granted me no rest. All my fears of the uncertain gave way to a wild but vivid dream. I was standing upon the brink of “The Tomb.” The damp, cold air and the darkness of the cave made me shiver; still I stood there, peering down—waiting for something. Suddenly a sickly, yellow light filled the cell. I glanced quickly round and about, and saw a burning torch at my side. Then I peered down again, and was confronted by a hideous skeleton, with its eyeless sockets turned toward me. I tried to draw away, but I could not move. For some minutes my eyes were fastened on the gruesome figure, but it remained perfectly still, and the ghastly light played upon it. Suddenly a deep and sullen Boom!” rang out. Immediately the form changed its aspect. Glowing lights shone from the sockets, and. instead of a skeleton, I now saw my victim. Then a vapor drifted up from below and the figure began slowly raising to the top of its prison. I turned in horror and fled; hut, as I ran thru the gloomy arches and hollows, I heard myself pursued. I emerged from the mouth of the cave, and, casting a glance behind me, I saw the inmate of “The Tomb’’ fast drawing near. I rushed in mad haste from one house to another, hut the specter infallibly followed and drew closer and closer. I reached my own home, leaped inside the door, locked and bolted it, only to see it swing slowly back on its hinges, leaving me face to face with the pursuer, torch in hand. A sneer came over the hateful face. A finger was pointed at me, the ghastly lips parted, and a rasping, hollow voice said: “I do as you said. Are you ready for me?” I gave a scream of horror and despair, and was wakened by my own cries. When I woke, everything was silent. There was not a breath of air stirring,—no sound at all. To make certain, I listened intently. But now, as if I had caused the very thing which I feared, I became aware of a sound. It came from stealthy, muffled foot-falls. Nearer and nearer they drew. A yellow light flickered up thru the transom and was reflected about the room. The light grew brighter, and closer drew' the soft, measured tread. I sprang up in horror, starting toward the door, only to see it swing slowly open, revealing in the doorway the face and figure of the man whom I had murdered years before! The repulsive features took on a sneer; a finger was pointed toward me. “I do as you said. Are you ready for me?” spoke a hollow, rasping voice, and I reeled and fell senseless to the floor. Ill Terrible as that night was, it was the beginning of my better life. Aitho the similarity between the incidents of the dream and the real events which followed can not be explained, nor the former by itself, the latter can. The coincidence, in this case, between the imaginary and the real has caused me to believe that future happenings may be both anticipated anti exaggerated by an over-wrought mind. But, as for the specter which I saw in my doorway that night, there is a reasonable and simple explanation. The figure with the torch was not the ghost of the man I had murdered, for the murder had failed. The form, the face and the voice, all belonged to the once hated Pope, now my friend. Without any external aid, he had escaped from “The Tomb,” and had followed me up to exact a little less violent revenge than murder. I le afterward told me the means by which he escaped from an inverted funnel, six feet in diameter at the top, twenty-five at the bottom and fifteen feet deep. And this is the manner in which he accomplished it:— As soon as I left, and he had made sure that calling and beseeching were in vain. Pope began to think seriously of his predicament. I low was he to get out? I le could not leap up and catch hold on the upper rim of the cell, for it was much too high. He could not climb up the wall, for it was smooth and sloped sharply backward. Such a feat would be impossible without handholds, difficult then, and he hail no stone-cutting tools. 1 le dared not try to leave by the water-course, for he knew not where nor over what dangers it might lead him. But Pope was not the man to own a thing impossible until all possible plans for doing it were exhausted. With jumping, climbing and crawling out of the question, he next turned to the water itself. It was a rapid little stream, probably four feet wide and a foot and a half deep, and it was warm. All these things he con- sidered, and, before I was out of the cave, he was out of his supposed tomb! Just after he called my name for the last time, he noticed that there were loose rock on the bottom of the cell. Seizing a huge stone, he rolled it into the exit of the stream. Its fall against the rock wall caused the loud “Boom!” which had so terrified me. Then, working rapidly, he threw other stones into the opening until soon he had almost entirely stopped the outflow of the stream. The result was that the large basin filled rapidly with water. It rose above his head, and he was obliged to swim. This he did until the water rose high enough to permit his escape. But he was a good swimmer, the water was too warm to cramp him, and he actually did get away before the torch I had left him went out! When he finally emerged from the cave, bearing the torch as a keep-sake, several courses of action presented themselves. He must have revenge. What kind? Should he punish by law? By violence? He wished to do neither of these. Then he thought of going directly to my home to mock me with a visit, according to contract. 'This he discarded for the better plan of waiting until I had had time to think over my insane deed, and then scaring me. Following this plan, he waited until I had moved several times, and then chose that wild and stormy night as favorable to his purpose. His cleverness in plan and execution may be seen in his analysis of my weakness, his choice of time, the air of mystery with which he approached my door, the use of the torch, and the ghostly accents with their ominous purport.

NOT REVERSIBLE. “A miss is as good as a mile,” But I can assure you of this: The rule worketh not t’other way: So long as we’ve taste for a kiss. Nowhere lives a man who will say A mile is as good as a miss. It is the custom in this school for the teachers to write on the blackboard any instructions they desire the janitor to receive. One morning Roy saw written, “Find the greatest common divisor.” “Well!” he exclaimed, “is that durned thing lost again?” Early to bed and early to rise is as hard on the “track man” as the rest of the guys. Cole.—Nitric acid would dissolve your wife in twenty-four hours. Elam.—How long would it take to dissolve a mother-in-law ? Papa.—Where have you been, James? Son.—Fishin’. Papa.—Come into the woodshed and we’ll have a whaling expedition. Stanley.—What does an iceberg look like when it is all melted up? Ralph.—Why haven’t you a girl, Roger? Roger.—Aw, nobody loves a fat man. Marc edits.—Would a pair of stockings hold all you want for Christmas? Ruby.—No; but a pair of sox would. Dr. Cole (in Physics class).—What is air? Dan.—I can’t think of it just now, but it is in my head. Grad, (reminiscently).—A fellow before marraige is generally a dude. Senior (reflectively).—Yes, and after marriage he is subdued. Miss Scott.—What is one of the features of this school ? .lunette.—The C+ rule. Althea.—Tom had me talk into the phonograph, so he can hear my voice while I’m away. Reva.—How lovely! And he can stop the machine. Mary had a little lamb— You’ve heard this fact before; But have you heard, she passed her plate And had a little more? Text: Equus consulem fundit. Student translating.—The horse spilled the consul. “She seems to be very fond of music.” “Yes, indeed. You’ll always find her at the piano when her mother is washing the dishes.” A TOAST TO “GIRLS” Oh! the neatness of their neatness when they’re neat: Oh! the Hectness of their fleetness when they’re fleet; But the neatness of their neatness And the fleetness of their fleetness Are as nothing to their sweetness when they’re sweet. OBITUARY Little Shorty Ross, after seeing the circus, went home and tried to walk his mother’s clothes-line. The funeral was hied the next day at 2 130 p.m. Miss Scott.—Guy, correct this sentence: “Our teacher am in sight.” Guy.—“Our teacher am a sight.” It must he easy, after all, When it finds the waves asleep, For a spanking breeze to bring a squall From the cradle of the deep. She (sighing.).—Oh, I met such a lovely, polite man yesterday. Her Father.—Where was that ? She.—On Main street. I must have been carrying my umbrella carelessly, for he bumped his eye into it. I said, “Pardon me,” and he said, “Don't mention it— I have another eye left.” Daughter (to her mother).—Ma! I wish you would make Willie stop. Every time I hit him on the head with this ax, he cries. A FACT The lad who burns the midnight oil May rise to heights of fame: But the man who sells that midnight oil Still gets there just the same. VERY POPULAR WITH THE LADIES He.—You don’t appear to care much for music. Don't you even like the popular airs? She.—No. The only popular air with me is the millionaire. Even with the new rules in effect, it is better to he on the foot-hall team than under it. Pessimist.—He drank himself to death, alas! Optimist.—But not until he had spent his money. Hurrah! “Excuse my grammar, hut I’ll saw you later.” said Levi as he left the wood pile. A medical paper claims that a dentist’s fingers carry disease germs. Moral: Boil your dentist. He.—Is that you, darling? She.—Yes. Who is that? New York.—I am told that Missouri stands at the head in raising mules. Missouri.—Sure: that is the only safe place to stand under such circumstances. LOVE’S BLINDNESS Love may he blind, as some do say; But we don’t care a jot. When Ellen comes along our way We’re glad that we are not! She laid the still white form beside those which had gone before; no sob, no sigh forced its way from her heart, throbbing as though it would hurst. Suddenly a cry broke the stillness of the place—one single heartbreaking shriek; then silence; another cry; more silence; lhen all silent but for a gutteral murmur, which seemed to well up from her very soul. She left the place. She would lay another egg tomorrow. Dodds (in Astronomy).—What is it that keeps the moon in place ami prevents it from falling? Stanley.—I think it must be the beams. He.—I worship the ground you walk on. She.—That lets me out. Husband.—Let’s go to the theater. Grace. Young H'ife.—But, dear, really I have nothing to wear. Husband.—Then let‘s go to the opera. CONSOLATION Now our school work will be so easy and light. For those beloved Seniors their lessons did slight. We may go to the teachers who’ve nothing to do. Since those wily Seniors have somehow slipped through. GRAINS OF SAND Little mites of Freshmen, Sophies sweet and prim, Make the mighty Juniors And the Seniors grim. “How would you feel,” asked the young man, “if you were to receive me for a Christmas present?” “Well,” answered the fair hut cruel one, “it would simply shatter my faith in Santa Claus.” We come into the world naked and hare; We go through it full o’ trouble and care; We pass out of it to we know not where; If we’ve done well here, we’ll do well there; You wouldn’t know more if I talked a year. Customer.—I would like to have my hair cut, please. Barber.—Any special way? Customer.—Yes. Off. She.—Has the mail man been here yet? He.—Did you ever hear of a female man? Patient.—Doctor, when is sleep most refreshing? Doctor.—When it is time to get up. IValter.—The oftener I go with a girl the less progress I make. Student reading comes upon a difficult word.—What is that word, Miss Decker? ,V THE LATIN CLASS First Student.—What did you have in the Latin Class today? Second Student.—We had the congregation of the verbs and dimension of a noun. “What do you charge for your rooms?” “hive dollars up.” “But I’m a student----- “Then it’s five dollars down.” “So your son has left college! What is he in ?” Debt.” .Cole.—A strawberry is not a berry; neither is a raspberry a berry; hut a gooseberry is a herrv. Courtland.—Then what is a watermelon ? Cole.—Science proves that men are more intelligent than women. For instance, we have no female Shakes-peares. Genevieve.—Well, but Shakespeare was a freak. Miss Gilpatrick.—Why are your twin sisters not at school today, son ? H'eston.—One of them is sick. They did not know which one it is; so they both stayed at home. The Freshie stares and grins aloud: The patient Sophomore only dreams; The Junior folds his hands and waits. While the Seniors read their final themes. THE “BO'S OR AT AH” Lyceumite.—It is narrated that Colonel Brecken-ridge, meeting Majah Buffo'd on the streets of Lexington one day, asked: What is the meaning, suh. of the conco’sc hefo’ the co’t house ?” To which the majah replied: “General Buckneh, suh, is making a speech. General Bucknch, suh. is a bo’n oratah.” “What do you mean by a bo’n oratah?” “If yo’ or I, suh, were asked how much two and two make, we would reply Toh.’ When this is ask a bo’n oratah, he replies: ‘When, in the co'se of human events it becomes necessary to take an integeh of the second denomination and add it, suh. to an integeh of the same denomination, the result, suh,—and I have the science of mathematics to back me in my judgment,—the result, suh,—and I say it without feah of successful contradiction. suh,—the result is fo’.’ That’s a bo’n oratah. “What did George Frey?” “A girl, of course.” Dodds.—What is a mixture of quartz, feldspar, mica and hornblend called? Sehyn.—It’s called a hill, if it’s big enough. F.llen (reciting).—Gold is found in nature, and sometimes under a sidewalk. “Discuss geysers. Ans.—“Some erupt continually.” A JUNIOR S LAMENT Forsaken, forsaken, forsaken arc we; Our eyes arc bedimmed so we scarcely can see. We go to the I ligh School,—our eyes fill with tears And longingly look for the class loved for years. Their seats are all vacant—about thirty-seven— But where, and, oh, where is the Class of ’i i ? ’lis the class we have reverenced for ’er in the lead, Andforthemour hearts yearn; we’re forsaken indeed! Cole (in Chemistry).—How did the name “spirits of hartshorn” originate? Brodine.—By distilling deer’s horns. Cole.—What kind of deer’s horns? Brodine.—Four-legged deer. Dodds (to Georgia).—I wish to goodness you’d can that giggle. Georgia.—It would explode, if I did. I la ! ha ! ha ! Dodds.—Describe the phenomena of volcanoes. Dale.—The phenomena of some volcanoes erupt continually; some erupt silently, and some phenomena don’t interrupt at all. Miss Scott.— Ray, you may analyze this sentence. Ray (doubtfully).—From is a finite verb; whom is the subject. . S. Male Quartette (singing).—How can I bear to leave thee? Echo.—How can I bear to hear thee? MY HOBBLE I love my new hobble— It clings to my form; And, if I am careful, ’Twill do me no harm. It hangs in my closet, Stretched over a broom. For one thing I'm thankful— It takes up no room. I brush it and press it And tend it with love; And, if I grow stouter, ’Twill lit like a glove. I love my new hobble— Its cling is so warm; And, if I don’t wear it, ’Twill do me no harm. Courtland (to Dr. Cole).—I have found a good way to catch rabbits. Cole.—Tell me. Courtland.—Crouch down behind a wall and make a noise like a turnip.
