DEDICATORY To Professor R. E. Tope, the new P pricipal of High School, who successfully and faithfully performs the tasks of the I principal of an advancing school, we re- I spectfully dedicate this volume. U CLASS OF 1912 ON the 2nd day of January, 1912, the three higher classes of the Grand Junction High School were given the pleasure of entering the new building, provided for them by the citizens of Grand Junction. It was with mingled feelings of sorrow, pride and thankfulness that the new building was occupied by the jj students. Sorrow because of leaving the old school in which we had studied from one to three years; and too, h it was hard to think of leaving the Freshmen alone in that building. Pride because of the possession of the new building with its light, airy halls and rooms and its beautiful spacious assembly hall. Thankfulness to the citizens who gave us such a fine structure which we are permitted to occupy. PROFESSOR J. H. ALLEN. Very little need he said about Professor Allen. His personal character, and his faithful work in our school arc both well known throughout the state. Professor Allen came here eight years ago with first honors from Oakwood Seminary, New York, and I Iarvard College. I le has always worked for, and accomplished, the best in the school. He is sincere, kind, and capable, and among the students and the people of the community, he has that respect which is due an unselfish, untiring and magnanimous man. FACU LTY MISS JULIA TAYLOR. A. 13. Min Taylor, teacher of Higher Latin, is a graduate of the University of Colorado. She has a vast, infallible. and, in fact, awe-inspiring knowledge of her subject. She succeeds in interesting practically all of her pupils in Latin, and the rest she terrifies into submission. Miss Taylor has Roman ideas of discipline, and Roman firmness in their execution. She is a capable, generous and untiring instructor, and we are proud of her. MISS NELLE I). SCOTT. A. 13. Miss Scott, aside from all her other good qualities, is something of a genius. Even as a girl she demonstrated this fact by taking honors at Port Collins High School. Later she completed a four-year course at Colorado College in three years; and that her work was thorough is shown by her broad, general knowledge and her capable teaching of English. Miss Scott is sympathetic, dignified, broad-minded. Her personality is unusual and pleasing, and she makes life worth while for her students. MR. HOMER O. DODDS. 13. S. Mr. Dodds was graduated from the Ottawa University of Kansas. He is a firm believer in athletics; and. along with all his biological, astronomical, geological and historical cares, he has made himself the very soul of athletic sports in our High S liool. Never did there live a more jolly. Industrious, generous, erratic or lovable man than Mr. Dodds, and this school would not be the same school without him. MISS AUGUSTA REICHMUTH, A. 13. Miss Reichmuth is our German teacher and is our teacher of German. She ig a graduate of Ripon College, Wisconsin, where some German must surely be known, for she has certainly taught us a lot about how Deutch zu lernen, und spree hen und also lesen. Miss Reichmuth has an unusual amount of reserve and dignity for one who looks so young, and has a habit of calling us “children. Still she has a lively sense of humor, is very lenient with us and we think the world of her. MISS JULIA T. CARLSON, A. 13. Miss Carlson came from the State University at Boulder, and she is always willing to stand up for her school. As for personal characteristics. she is merry and lively, and pretty, which last quality, among si hool teachers we deem not unworthy of remark. Miss Carlson has taken upon herself the arduous task of teaching English to the Sophomores and Freshmen, und is more frigid, exacting and relentless than she looks. We all like her, ulthougb we have a dread foreboding that we are likely to lose her at any time. MISS CARRIE LINDLEY Miss Lindley, our Assistant Principal and Teacher of Higher Mathematics. has been at different times a student in the Highland University of Kansas, in the Chicago University, and she is a graduate in Elocution and English Literature of the Detroit Training School. She has had charge of the Senior ('lass play every year for the last five years, and has always made it a success. She is “in manners finely taught. and is as good a woman as she is a teacher. FACULTY MISS HELEN DECKER. A. B. Miss Decker came here four years ago from Fori Lupton, Colorado, and we hope she will slay a long time. She is a graduate of the Denver Manual Training High School and of the Denver University. Miss Decker is a charming young woman, and Is very popular with her pupils and with some who are not her pupils. She is sympathetic and kind with those under ner, and is an excellent teacher. MISS MARGARET McGOWAN, A. B. Miss McGowan is a graduate of Colorado College, and has taught in our school three years. She is stolid, bland, able, and Arm as the Rock ot Gibraltar. She knows all that is worth knowing about First-Year Algebra and Biology, and takes careful pains that her pupils shall. She has a habit, in examinations, of asking pupils to •'discuss’’ certain subjects “fully and to “tell all about others. MISS HAZEL ELA A. B. Miss Fla has been in our school two years and is recognized as a tine instructor. She took part of her course at Colorado College and was then graduated from Wellesley. She teaches the Freshmen I atin and Eng-lish, and has not only succeeded in doing this but at the same time has won the respect and regard of all who know her. PROF. R. E. TOPE. A. B.. A. M. Prof. Tope has been with us only this one year: but in that time has shown himself thoroughly capable of executing his duties as principal. He has a fine education and a rich store of experience. He took courses at the National Normal University, the Ohio Wesleyan University and the Providence University, and holds degrees of both A. B. and A. M. He has an honorary life certificate Issued to him by the State Board of Education in Ohio and a life diploma by the state of Oklahoma. He has taught eleven years—five in Ohio, five in Oklahoma and one in our own High School. MR. W. G. HIRONS. A. B. Mr. lllrons, principal of the Franklin School (First Year High School), who is much like Mr. Dodds in his enthusiastic support of athletics, friendship for the boys and popularity, came to our city four years ago. He seems like a boy now. but he is no spring chicken. ’ as is shown by his education and experience. ?!r. llirons was graduated from the To.va State University and received his A B. from that institution. He taught for six years at Pierce. Nebraska, before coming here, and three years as Eighth (Jrade teacher in Grand Junction. MR. GEORGE MARSHALL Mr. George Marshall, who served his first year with us as physical director this year, is a very capable man, with a good moral influence over these whom he Inst nuts. He has served many years in Y. M. C. A. gymnasium work. MISS HARRIET MOULTON Miss Harriet Moulton has now been with us three years as musical Instructor. She is efficient and well liked by both the faculty and the students. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: WILLARD ROSS. PRESIDENT GLEN MERRILL.

To give all the honor, merit and recognition due such an assemblage of wit amt beauty requires the pen of a Homer or a Shakespeare. Out in a western city In the heart of the Rocky mountains. one hundred and twenty-five poor, home-sick Freshmen, as green a lot as ever the sons of man looked upon, gathered together September sixth, 1908. The whole world proclaimed the great event; the sun shone: the Faculty smiled. Did we smile? As we marched, with trembling knees Into the assembly-room on that fateful day to the howling strains of How Green They Be!” sung by the upper classes, what a lomfort It would have been if some fairy with her magic wand had transported us to our homes and our mothers’ apron strings. But. after we had endured this torture with equanimity, our superiors! ? I cordially received us and really put themselves out to make us feel at home in the old High School building. As Sophomores it is hard to recall what we did. ex«ept make life miserable for the Class of 1913. We had grown from bashful and awkward children to bold and daring youths anil maidens. We are sure Miss Carlson will never forget this brilliant class, and that Room 3 will never have the pleasure of allowing such well behaved students to pass through Its doors. When we became Juniors we realized that our time was short for happy, gay-hearted fun, since in the next year the weight of the High S hool would be on our shoulders and we should have to pose as the high ideals for our poor, stumbling friends of ’13. So we allowed the Class of ‘11 to nearly run the school while we devoted ourselves to having a good time. But. when. In May, the doors were closed upon the retreating forms of 'll, we were not sorry to step into their places as Seniors and become the pillars of the High School. When we were Freshmen we spoke, understood and thot as Freshmen: but, when we became Seniors, we put away Freshmen things. As Seniors we began to show the deportment so becoming to the students who have reached that dignity. Individually we are great: collectively we are greater. Collectively we are not quite four years of age. and yet what a wonderful record we have made in that time! But, we are going soon. Much has been done (C + ’s and cans ) to stop us: but we see plainly that the institution which claims our tenderest memories is now ready to turn us out, as we have grown too big for it. The Class of 1912 Is a perfectly good class, beloved of all the Faculty. Every member is scholarly, well behaved, good looking and popular: therefore, we feel justified in closing with the sentiment. “God bless the ( lass of 1912 and other inferior organizations.’’ ELEANOR COLE, 12. FLORENCE LYONS, 12. Senior Class Prophecy | = Hlj First of all, let us say that we have here set down the truth and nothing hut the truth; whether or not It is the whole truth we leave to your own judgment. It was in the year 1930 that we. with a few of our friends, had sailed away starward and had rested a while on the moon. Fluke’s New Safety Aeroplane had, by that time, just eome into practicable use, and a merry crowd we were. Kather select, perhaps, but that is neither here nor there; the one item of Importance was that with us we took our Brodlnes New Improved Peeposcope. This, you may know, is a simple device, invented through an accident by our old friend Ernest, through which one can, by proper adjustment, see anyone he pleases just wherever he may chance to be. You may well imagine the fun we had looking at our old-time friends; but never would you really believe what we can tell you, unless you could see for yourselves. However, knowing that you will have little faith in us, we are willing to tell you about it. Away off, over in Italy, we saw Roy Dains painting his masterpiece, “Modesty, and near by sat Josephine Devy, his model. Far In the distance could be seen the lofty towers and turrets of Castle de la Dovecote, and under the soft shades of the honeysuckle sat Ralph and Phyllis, his bride. Then, changing our view to the northward, we saw a party of explorers falling up the steep paths of the Alps. On looking closer we recognized our old friends. Barbara, Miriam, Eleanor and Irene, and James Colcord, the Alpine guide. Shifting our gaze to a pleasant little valley, we could discern a tiny rose-embowered cottage, and, peeping through the window, we saw Nell and Willard, sitting peacefully before the fire-place. r Just then our view was blotted out by a whirling apparition that came toward us at an alarming rate, t’pon closer view we recognized Roger, with his new wingk, fashioned after those of Icarius. After exchanging greetings, he told us that Thomas was now superintendent of the Grand Junction Public Schools; Luke Gex was the principal, and that Pauline had taken Mr. Dodd's place while he was absent on his annual foreign missionary tour. Then, as our former schoolmate soared away, we saw a great throng crowding around the world's grandest opera house, where Mabel Marsh, the marvelous singer, was daily charming thousands of people. Vera Harvey, her companion and accompanist, was'being intently watched by her ardent suitor, Lloyd Levan, who was now a noted evangelist. At this time bachelors and old maids were spoken of with reverence, and only a very few could be found, as Bruce knight, with the assistance of Ethel Cheedle, was running a matrimonial' bureau. Their “matifinder” was a world-famc d device, patented by Gladys Hampton, through which anyone might pass and during the revolving process each one found his true soul-mate. We saw Let il ia. Alice and Thelma enter the machine, but never saw the result, as Just then our attention was diverted by a monstrous noise, and, looking toward the direction from whence it came and after considerable time, we discovered it was the last farewell of the merry crowd who had Just witnessed the marriage of Glen Merrill and Sydney Blair. Hansel and Sadie, with peaceful content, were watching the flocks of little folks who daily came to their beautiful kindergarten: and. In a nearby hospital. Sara, Luella and (Mara, with their flowing robes and piiowv caps, were patiently attending the Injured who had fallen during the great war between the earth and Mars. Looking over toward that riotous planet, we saw Florence. Pearl and Anna devoutly ministering to the souls or the savage Marsonians, who were ever ready to fly away with beautiful young missionaries. Then, back on mother earth” again, we saw Gra« e and Merlal in Russia, giving stump speeches to help the ever-rising suffragettes in that despotic country, in the Philippines was Leo Antics, now a traveling preacher, and Vera Limberg was with him as chorister. Then. In our own United States, we found away out west whs Georgia, breaking a wild broncho and driving cattle on tiie plains. Maude and Jessie Crawford were In charge of a wonderful Orphans’ Home, which they themselves had founded. Harold Rhone was then the world’s champion tlght-rope walker: and. last, hut not least. Wilbur Hards was. with great he nor, filling the presidential e hair of our great commonwealth. So. there they all were; all out the principles laid down by ulty; yet so varied, so scattered, had once enclosed us all? great and wise, and carrying their kind advisors, the fac-who could believe four wall EULALIA ANDERSON. ELENA BATES. YET THEY SAY THEY DO. Did you ever see a stone step? Or a peanut stand? Or a sardine box? Or a sausage roll? Or a hair dye? Or a day pass by? Or a lady drop her eyes? Or a horse fly? Or a night fall? Or a bed spring? Or a bottle fly? Or a man catch his breath? Or a hoard walk? Or a girl take a car home? Knowledge plus effort equals achievement. The chief of polbe arrested a rooster the other day for using fowl language. STORY WRITTEN BY THE SENTINEL’S NEW REPORTER. “There was found In the river this morning the body ot a man «ut to pie«es and sewed up in a sack. The circumstances seem to preclude any suspicion of suicide.” Class Play The play selected by the Senior class and Miss Lindley, the instructor of the play, is one of the most up-to-date plays given by High School students. Although it has not been played in this vicinity, it comes highly recommended by professors of High Schools who have given it. The play is “Quality Street.” This interesting, instructive play, given by a cast of enthusiastic, well-trained students, should please, and entertain the citizens of Grand Junction.

We leave with the usual feeling of mingled regret and sadness and furthemore we believe we have received a good preparation for life’s battle. We have tried to set a good example for the classes which will follow us and we especially want to call the eighth graders’ attention to the wonderful opportunities awaiting them in High School. The efficient faculty; the broadened fields of knowledge and fact, an entirely new era of school life. Education is not wholly obtained from books. The social advantages and the athletics which are offered in High School are not to be excelled. I herefore we heartily recommend the High School course to all eighth grade students. TO CLASS OF 13 VVc, the graduating class, would like to impress upon the present Junior class, the great esteem in which they have been held by us; also would advise the class to set a high example next year, for the lower students who will look up to you as ideals. If in doubt as how to act, remember the class of ’12 and follow as nearly as you can in our footsteps. FAVORITE HYMNS OF SENIOR GIRLS. Fred Gilbert. Rex Barber. Roger Smith. Weston DeLong.

J Junior Class History !B=ihi mt-- ihp.. j In the month of September, 1909, we proudly and et a little fearfully, entered the High School to be counted in its numbers. When, on the “first” morning, we were summoned to assembly, we felt as if our hands and feet had never before been so big; but when the Seniors and Juniors began howling that hated song, “How (ireen They Are!” we forgot our bashfulness and gave them a good yell in return. Of course, our literary societies were the best in the school and by faithful digging at our lessons, we won the love of all our teachers. After a term of hard study, we turned our backs on the old building for a period of three months, and alter that time entered it again with renewed vigor, anti w :th a determination to overcome all difficulties. Each day of this new season found us better pre- pared to impart our knowledge of Caesar, although Friday would find us quaking and shaking on account of that dreaded prose composition, Plane Geometry, Ancient History, and English. The Annual Spartan-Athenian debate was set for February 3. The class decided to state the question, “Resolved, that Athens Was Greater Than Sparta.” The debaters on the affirmative were: Lenore Norris, Gladys Hampton, and Margaret Cole; and on the negative: George Gallupe, Chester Brodinc, and Duncan Collins. After an afternoon of wild debating, the affirmative carried off the honors. The banquet was held a couple of weeks later, at the St. Regis Hotel and such a lot of good things we had to eat. Everybody had difficulty in leaving the table after the last toast was given. The rest of the term was spent in a round of study and recitations, and in May we left, looking forward to being Juniors when school took up in the Fall. Well, we felt mighty proud when we returned, and could share Room I with the Seniors. We again manfully set our brains to working and after a few months of hard study, began looking forward to entering the new High School building after the Christmas vacation. At last, after days of weary waiting, we marched up the marble stairs of our new building. Such a time as we had getting accustomed to it, and such a racket as wras made pushing, pulling, and scraping the chairs around on the cement floors. But, after a few C + s were dealt out and a few of the boys w ere “canned,” everybody settled down to the old routine of work. At this time plans were being made for the “Junior-Senior” party. The committee decided on January l 2, for it, and it was to be held at Margery Hall. The day of the big affair dawned bright and fair, but the Sophomores and Freshmen awoke that morning planning all sorts of trouble. They decided to capture our class president, George S. Gallupc, and the president of the Senior class, Willard Ross. They succeeded in capturing George and after many unsuccessful attempts to carry him into the country, he was released by an army of Juniors and Seniors. The first part of the evening was spent in games and a musical program, after which the guests enjoyed a dance. Class scraps have abounded in plenty this year, but peace is finally established, and now we are patiently awaiting the “Senior-Junior” party.

Sophomore Class History SHI . ' =)H j! CHAPTER I. The High School as a whole was divided into tour parts, one of which the Seniors inhabited; another, the Juniors; the third, the Sophomores; and the fourth was occupied by those who, in their own language were called Freshmen, in our, Greens. Of all these the greatest were the Sophomores; because they excelled in deportment, and because in those things pertaining to the support of the school, they were most responsive. When these dwelt across the River Examination, anil were called Freshmen, they occupied the largest portion of High School, but some, attempt:ng to cross the river, were too weak and remained behind: others were left because they lacked valor and energy. CHAPTER II. Of all the Sophomores, there were two factions. In one of these the Spartans held the principal place; in the other, the Athenians. A counsel was called about every fourteen days in each faction, with this design: That they should enjoy a program, and also that they might learn to express themselves more clearly. At one time, a great dispute arose between these two factions. They were persuaded by their common leader. Professor Dodds, that they send envoys to a convenient meeting place, who should decide the question, whether or not Sparta was as great as Athens. These envoys were Mary Martin, Elmer Sargent, and William Anderson, sent by the Spartans; Edith Glassford, Edward Wilson, and Russel Coles, sent by the Athenians. On the seventeenth day before the Kalends of March, during the first year of the consulship of R. l ope, they met in the new 1 ligh School building. The Spartans brought to the place of judgment all their families, all their friends, and all their adherents, of which there were a great number. The Athenians did likewise. Everyone said that all the envoys pleaded their cause well. The judge decided that the Athenians had won. The banquet, which the defeated Spartans had agreed to give the Athenians, was to occur on a future date.

We mounted the steps with fear and trembling and much the air of him, whose motto is, “Cheer up the worst is yet to come.” Before we entered the door, we cast one furtive glance behind us and were dismayed to behold our huge green footprints upon the walk. No doubt we were green then but—1 sten! Many things that are green on the outside are very good on the inside; watermelons, for instance. Now, note the changes in our color. W hen we discovered that we must bury our noses in our books for hours if we expected to escape the horrible ogre examinations, and that we must not pop our heads out of windows, not slide down the banisters, not come down stairs five steps at a time, not throw chalk or soft erasers, those delightful missiles which make no noise when they fall- mat we must not do any of these things for fear of the awful C plus, we turned quite blue. And no wonder! When the older scholars moved away from us, they probably supposed that wc would become either grey or black while mourning for the loss of them, but wc did not think it necessary. Left alone, we began to improve. The organization ol literary societies gave us a chance to show the red lire of talent within us. So, again our deep dye tailed. Toward the end of the year we could almost feed ourselves growing yellow with age, to tired were we and so wise. We felt better after having read the silvery “ Bubble,’ the great Freshman paper. At last, in straining to catch a glimpse of our destiny at the year’s end, we imbibed one pure, clear, white, ray of hope, and smiled. Thus endeth our record. The appropriateness of our class colors, green and white, is easily seen. The class of 1915 is on the march. Look out for us! Edith J. Agnew. FOOTBALL Kacher, Coach Bruce Knight, Mgr.

Willard Ross Ever since the year 1908, when Grand Junction went to the eastern slope ami defeated the Pueblo H gh School team, they have been respected by the football men of the Eastern Slope. The Championship of western Colorado was won by the Grand Junction team of 1910 and was retained by the strong team of 1911. At the opening of this year’s season the outlook for a good team was very discouraging. The men were all new and nearly all small. Mr. Marshall was physical director of the schools and started the team on its season’s work. After a short time Marshall became ill, and the boys had the good fortune to obtain the services of Mr. Kacher, who had the confidence and will of the boys. To Mr. Kacher and the captain, Glen Merrill, should go a great deal of the credit for the manner in which the season ended. A very brief summary of the season follows: The first game of the season was played on October 21, with Montrose, and although the home team wjs defeated by the score of 9 to o it gave th • boys courage ami showed them they were stronger than they had thought. 1 his game also showed the team, which was practically of new material what a football game was. A week later the team went to Delta, coming home with the score of o to o after a hard game in the sand. By this time the team was hard at practice, team work prevailing, and ready to start on their victorious climb. On November 4, Grand Junction played the heavy Fruita team anti won, the score being 5 to o. Then Delta came to our home grounds and were defeated after a hard, cold, muddy game in the ice and siiow. This tells the tale—Grand Junction 1 1, Delta 5. Montrose came next and after a hard game had to return home with a tie game, this score being 6 to 6. A week later Fruita tried to defeat the Grand Junction team on our grounds but were defeated easily, the score being 23 to o. On Thanksgiving day, Aspen, who thought they could not he beaten, came from the field with 5 points and the Grand Junction team had 2 1 points. Next year nearly all the players of this year’s team will be back and great things are expected by them, led by the able captain. Cosgrove 1 lines, who is a thorough football man. MISS TAYLOR.

GIRLS’ BASKET BALL Bessie Miller.........................Forward Miriam Welles........................ Forward Carolyn Derryberry......................Guard Virginia Wheeler........................Guard Lenore Neeb..........................Standing Center Helen Burckhalter (Capt.)...Running Center Grace Hollenbeck.........................Sub. Forward Elsie Robinson.....................Sub. Guard The basket ball season of 1911 for the girls opened with enthusiasm early in the fall. Miss Wilhclmy took the team after Mr. Marshall became ill, and her ability to develop a first class basket ball team was shown by the many victories all through the season. Helen Burckhalter, who was captain, had a faithful team, and after many nights of hard practice, won every game but one, which was with Mt. Lincoln High School and was played under different rules than the home girls were accustomed to playing. The following will give the games and scores: On October 28, Grand Junction won from the Delta team in that city, the score being 29 to 20. At Fruita the team won an easy victory by defeating the Fruita High School by the score of 23 to 15. The following week the girls again defeated Delta at the Y. M. C. A. building. The score was 27 to 15. On November 18, the team won two games, one with Palisade at the Fair Grounds in the afternoon and one in the evening with Montrose at the Y. M. C. A. The former score being 1 5 to 8 and the latter 44 to 5. The girls from the Mt. Lincoln High School, who were playing under the rules of the boy’s basket ball, won the first game from Grand Junction by the close score of 19 to 14, but were defeated the second game, this score being 16 to 15. The showing for next year is most excellent and a winning team may well be counted on. Helen Burck-halter has been re-elected and her splendi.l ability to manage a team was shown the past year. After years of incessant endeavor, Grand Junction has at last secured a canning factory. R. K. l ope has been induced to take the position of chief canncr. He has devoted all of his time, while here, to this subject, and we must admit that he can can. BASEBALL It is a little early for much on baseball but there is a great deal of interest shown among the boys, who are working hard. Mr. Marshall and Mr. Dodds arc trying very hard to obtain a strong High School team. As yet only one game has been played between the classes resulting in the victory of the Seniors over the Sophomores and Freshmen teams combined. Ralph Jncobshagcn has been elected captain of the Senior and Junior teams. The Sophomores and Freshmen, under the leadership of Captain Patten, are working hard and will make it possible for a few’ inter-class games later on. A High School team has been picked from the different class teams and many good games with the different High Schools on the Western Slope are hoped for. One game has been played with Fruita, and the Junction team had a score of io to Frutia’s 3. The lineup for this game was as follows although there will probably be some changes: Earl Fahrmeyer.....................Catcher Warren Patten (Bri ck Knight)......Pitcher Glenn Walker........................ First Base Herman Hutton...................Second Base Ralph Jacobshagen......................Short Stop Glen Merrill.........................Third Base Ray Smith.........................Left Field Frank Pultz.................... Center Field Arthur Chapman...................Right Field BOYS’ BASKET BALL Last year was the beginning of boys basket ball n the Grand Junction High School, and was a success in e ery way. This year the different classes in the school took a great deal of interest in having the best team. Mr. Marshall and Mr. Dodds arranged for several games among the classes, which aroused a great deal of enthusiasm among the students. The Freshmen won two consecutive games from the Sophomores. This gave them the right to play the Seniors. who had lost the first game to the Juniors, but won the second game and had the third forfeited to them. The first game was played at the Y. M. C. A. and was given to the upperclassmen, the score being 26 to 18. The second game was won by the Seniors, with a score of 24 to 17. Glen Merrill was captain of the Seniors and Nonnan Hinds, captain of the Freshmen. Not much interest was shown in the other High Schools, of the Western Slope and no game was played. Next year will probably be a good year for basketball and a good team is to be expected. TRACK Last year, as usual, a lamentably small number of fellows sought glory on the track; but a few had enough “pep” to get out and make the season a success. In a true sense, it was a “record-breaking” year, for ten records were beaten. The first to go was the cross-country time, which has suffered a clipping every year. Later on, the records for the broad jump, pole vault, shot, discus, high and low hurdles, and the mile and half mile runs, were reduced to respectable figures. At the Western Slope meet, held in Grand Junction by the V. M. C. A., our boys carried off first in all but two events, and won the day by an overwhelming score. The local team numbered just seven men on that day. At the inter-class meet, pure logic prevailed; all the classes, by points ranked in this order: Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. McCary established new records in the pole vault and broad jump; Terrill, in the discus, shot, high and low hur.i’es; Knight, in the mile and half m:!e runs: and the Senior relay team composed of Terrill, Oldwell, Fry, and McCary, in the class relay. Knight, Terrill, and Capt. Morse went to the state meet at Colorado Springs, but failed to get any places in their events. 'Terrill got even when he got back by making such fast time in the high hurdles, that the time-keepers were insulted. Prospects for track this spring are good. We keenly feci the loss of our two “sharks,” Terrill and Mc-Cary; but there is still lots of spirit, and that means a great deal. Our class meet came on Friday, April i ■ , and the Mesa County meet, at Palisades, on April 21. DEBATE. Resolved, That making night hideous makes the cay brighter. Affirmative, Wilbur Hards; negative, 1 red Fluke. Roger Smith (in Latin) : “Oc-cido, oc-eidere, o-ciss-ure, o-ciss-us.” Social Events 3H THE DELTA RECEPTION. On account of the heavy rain and snow on November i i. the barbecue, which had been planned for the Delta visitors, had to be postponed. So, after the girls basket ball game at the Y. M. C. A., the High School Students entertained the rooters at the Margery I lall. There was a short musical program and a few speeches were given by the heroes of the afternoon’s game. A very enjoyable dance was then started which held forth until the Delta people left on their special train. In spite of the fact that Junction was victorious in both the basket ball and football games, the Delta people were happy and they went home with a friendly feeling towards the Grand Junction I Ugh School students. MONTROSE RECEPTION. The reception given by the I ligh School students at the Margery I Iall for the Montrose football and basketball teams and their host of rooters November 18, was an enjoyable affair. A jolly good crowd was present and upon hearing a waltz tune by the orchestra, everyone started to dance. The evening passed quickly, and the Montrose people left for the depot with sad hearts hoping that next year they would not have to leave Grand Junction so soon. ASPEN RECEPTION. AH students of the I ligh School went to the Margery I lull Thanksgiving evening to entertain the Aspen boys. A very enjoyable musical program was rendered by the local talented students and the Aspen boys were then called upon for short impromptu talks. The orchestra then furnished music for a social dance. Light refreshments were served during the evening. THE JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY. One social event of the school year, which all Seniors look forward to, with eagerness, occurred at the Margery' Hall, January 12, when the Juniors entertained the Seniors of 1912. The lower classmen’s plan of kidnapping the Junior class president, George Gallupe, fell through, and about eight-thirty o’clock, all guests having arrived, the entertainment began with a musical program, given by talented members of the two classes. This was enjoyed immensely. Afterwards a short athletic contest was held, which also delighted the students. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing, excellent music being furnished by Derryberry’s Orchestra. Indeed, it was past the midnight hour when the happy crowd dispersed and departed for their homes. They declared they never before were entertained so royally. PENALIZED. Ralph: “Dearest you’re the goal of my affec- tions.” Hazel (removing his arms): Five yards for holding.” Mrs. Brodine: “Are you first in anything in school, Ernest?” Ernest: “First out of school when the bell rings, mother.” Miss Lindley (after a long-winded proof) : “Now, students we get X equals O.” Glenn Walker (in sleepy tones) : “Gee, all that work for nothing.” Ernest: “What is a conchoidal fracture?” Prof. Tope: “Why-er-that’s a prodemes. Who’ll look that up for tomorrow ?” DEBATING. I he Grand Junction High School has always realized the many benefits derived from debating. Each year, besides the regular literary debates, there have been from two to three special numbers. This year has been marked by three great and important events: the Spar-tan-Athenian debate, the Fruita-Junction debate in the county contest at Palisades, and the Udlock Prize debate. THE UDLOCK PRIZE DEBATE. For the past three years Mr. E. E. Udlock, a well known real estate man of this city, has offered prizes to the best two debaters in the 1 ligh School. The prizes have always been two sets of books. I he High School gives hearty applause to Mr. Udlock for his endeavors to promote a higher standing among the students of Grand Junction. COUNTY CONTEST. On the 18th and 19th of April the different High Schools of Mesa County held an inter-scholastic contest at Palisade. The events were both athletic and literary. The two literary events in which the Junction I ligh School participated were an oratorical contest among all the county schools, and a debate with Fruita upon the question, Resolved, that the country does not offer superior advantages to those offered by the city in the development of virile manhood in the three phases, body, mind, and spirit.” SPARTAN-ATHENI AN DEBATE. On February the 19th, the twelve months truce between Sparta and Athens expired and they were again armed and ready for battle. The entire student hotly of the High School and many visitors gathered in the large auditorium of the new school building to witness this thrilling event. All of the Spartans sat on the east side of the room and all of the Athenians, on the west side; the Freshmen, being neutral, had to take the center. At two o’clock in the afternoon everything was ready for the long expected battle to begin. Sparta made the first attack and from then on both sides fought bravely to the end. Sparta and Athens were never before so equally matched. In the decision the judges had a puzzling matter before themselves; but, after a long consideration, they gave the victory to the Athenians; namely, Edith Glassford, Russell Coles, and Edward Wilson. LITERARY SOCIETIES. The school being in an overcrowded and unsettled condition the first half of this term, no literary societies were organized until after the Christmas holidays. When work along this line finally began, it began in earnest and surpassed any thing done in the past. The programs were of the highest class, being both entertaining and instructive. The important features of each meeting were debating, current events, music, and oratory. The success of the societies this year is due to the enterprising efforts of the teachers who were in charge of this work, and the wide-awake program committees. PRIZE STORY. One of the special features of The Annual has always been a prize story. Each year pennants have been given for the best two original stories written by High School students. This year first pri .c was awarded to Bruce Knight. The following is the story: THE GHOST OF A PILL. Oh. but it was a wild and tempestuous night! The autumn wind howled mournfully and in gusty fits, and whenever it ceased I heard the dismal drizzle of the rain. I could not study, and so I laid aside my books and listened to the wailing wind and gloomy rain, and to the dead, rattling sound of the falling leaves; and I felt sad at heart,—but it was not for the leaves. That strange passion which possessed me. with all its longing, and humility, and despair, and sadness, was so perfectly reflected and edioed, that fateful night, by another unfortunate being, that I shall neither tell its cause now nor make rutile attempts to describe it. I et me only say that I sat listening, listening to the doleful sounds without, every rain-drop seeming a drop of my life blood, every fallen leaf, a blasted hope, and every howl of the wind, a note in the dirge which sang me out of the weary w’orld. But. as I listened. I noticed that the rain ceased, and that the wind grew louder and louder, until it had a terrifying sound. I heard the chill blasts sweep thru the barren orchards and over the desolate desert, and I thought they must be pursuing luckless ghosts. Each began as a faraway murmur, and gained in sound until it swept by my window with an awful roar, and then gradually vanished again into a distant murmur. I do not know why, but my melancholy gave way to a sense of dread. I wished the wind would stop; but it grew more violent. My heart began to i ound with a vague but terrible apprehension; and louder and louder raged the gale. At last a blast which was the king of all began with its distant sigh, grew bold as it went along, screamed more fiercely still, and finally rushed up to my casement with a wild bellow and yell whirl) froze my blood completely. Then, even mm I was iu«kiiiK from head u foot, und wondering If Hell itself could rival Mml« a horrifying noise, It ceased with Inntant abruptness. Now there was a ghostly alienee. My gnawing apprehension was doubled. I longed for anything but this terrible sllome, for ih«' wind and rain, hu( limy did not come. I hay it was a U1IOHTLV alienee: Hardly had I had time to i hide mysetl for my fear , when a strange compelling power drew my eyes 10 my window Before my horrified gaze, it was slowly raised by invisibility, and In solemnly drifted a white, aid, haughty and majestic spooler! Jump! shouted the ghost, and made a hideous dive at me. Insane with dread, I tried to make a powerful leap, only to find that I was utterly incapable of motion. Shriek! cried the ghost, with an exulting roar; and l willed such a sc ream as should have raised the dead, but found that my voire bad deserted me. Alt!” said the ghost, in softened and assuring tones; you see you are in my power completely. It Ih better tlmt it Is sti Do not fear me. I route to do you good. You are now arrived at a critical and fateful point In your life. I sadly fear that you may go amisH. It Is to save you that I have arisen front my cosy coffin, and braved this fearful gale. That you may avoid all the error, and sadness, and tragedy which attended on my miserable existence, hear my tale. It Is or my life. I found that my terror was abated, and that my volte was restored. 1 am helpless, I said. Proceed. And then the sad, stern specter related this strange and timely tale. Ip life I was dubbed with the shameful appellation or pill ! Perhaps you do not realise what damnation and disgrace this name carries with it. 1 shall not attempt to explain it to you. The sad story of my life will tell It all. Altho 1 received the name late in life, I was always a pill. As a mere hoy I was a pill, for then (how sadly well I remember it!) 1 believed that the ideal man was one of physical, mental and moral development; one who lived with undisguised love for his fellowmen, and never tried to conceal those impulses which his deeper nature taught him; and 1 blighted all my hopes by trying to develop into such a man. Be sure you mark well wliat I say, for your own salvation rests with now well you roe and avoid each lamentable step which led to my bitter end. I say that as a boy I pursued those blasting policies; and, when grown to a youth, I was thoroly confirmed in them. I I eiieved that a healthy body was the first essential thing to a c.ear mind; and hence many an hour did 1 waste in absurd methods of exercise, and many a destructive precaution did I use against decay. Hours and hours 1 used to walk by my-re.f, studying where my body was weak, and how to make it strong; and so, when other young men of my age were improving their golden hours at the cigar stores, the theaters, tiie skating rinks, and the dance halls, and gaining all that physical poise and vigor for which the youths of today are distinguished, my time was slipping heedlessly by, on the des-ert, or in the mountains. And I even used to practice running, for the mere Joy of the thing: and hence I wasted much time in acquiring such useless qualities as strong vitality and endurance. You will understand how useless these things were when I show you what humiliation I suffered when I tried to employ them where they would really be worth while. But, if I was physically degenerated, what shall I say of my mentality and morals? Here was where the real curse fell on my life. 1 meant well, no doubt: but, oh, the pitiable means by which I sought to develop! In school. I employed myself conscientiously with my work, and foolishly thought that mastery of the subjects was the true end! 1 scarcely need i.; tell you the disastrous result. 1 became skilled In grasping meanings, and in solving problems: but 1 was totally lac king in the more useful and admirable arts of bluffing and artifice. I received excellent grades In my work, and was blindly contented; but others knew my want of boldness and originality; tind they looked on me with just and lofty contempt. Rut 1 felt it little, and went on in my own ridiculous way. Many and many an hour did I spend in studying the writings of men who were mere folly-makers, and whose foibles have delighted only the sage, steady, ludicrous types of mankind. Omar. Rurns. Poe, Coleridge, Tennyson and Shakespeare led me to waste the priceless hours which might hnve been spent in company Immeasurably more deep. true. Instructive and delightful. I was told this many a time, and was heartily remonstrated with for my profligate habits; but I was too stubborn to reform. My conceptions of morality were equally as contemptible. I was always ridiculed for my theories, which would, indeed, have reduced humanity to a deplorable state. When 1 insisted that true happiness came from purest Ideals. I was laughed at, as well I should have been: but when I went on to declare that men should be judged by standards as high as those by which women were judged, and that it was the men who suffered from the difference, I was scarcely suffered to remain in my home town. But I say that I was obdurate; and. alas! 1 never saw the absurdity of my position until it was too late. I went right on, reducing myself to the lowest, physical, mental and moral narrowness and depravity,—blasting all my future hopes. Youth, density and obstinate courage buoyed me up In my fatal career; and for years I never suffered for all my folly and vices. But you know that a course cannot lead downward forever and never arrive at misery. Thru all the lower grades at school I had passed, never deviating from my path, and yet pain had never overtaken me. On into high school I went, and the first year rolled by. and the second, and the third, and still my sins had never found me out. But vengeance was coming, and oh, with what a horrible penalty for its de- lay! Again I warn you to mark well what I say. If you would avoid my fate; and I even tell you I know that you are guilty of many of my terrible errors. Listen well, for now I come to that most abominable and desolating inlluence which blighted my life. Thru all these wasted years I say I passed, and was never averted from my spurious ideals; but now my fate was come. Tardy ruination seized me at last. I fell in love! I shall waste very little of your time in attempting to describe the object of my love. The poverty of my speech is too great, and the task too impossible. She had ‘hyacinthlne hair, deep gray eyes and a Hebrew nose. (Here 1 began to grow very interested.) Perhaps I should stop here, for I could never describe the forehead, the chin, the mouth, tho teeth, or any of those individual perfections which went to make up the exquisite whole. I think that she was slightly, very slightly freckled; but all this is vain. The most minute description could afford you but little idea of beauty so overpowering and captivating. I often thought that she must resemble Poe’s ‘Ligeia’, in spite of her gray eyes, which were so much more beautiful than those of Ligeia. and her complexion. which jKissessed so much more of life. Her figure, it is true, was not that of Ligeia. for she was not tall and stately. She was rather short, I think; but surely she was perfection Itself In form. With her trim little feet and shapely ankles, and her sure and graceful gait.—with her small, strong hands and her perfectly moulded arms.—I tnink that altogether she was much better built than Ligeia. Whenever she played the piano at school (Here I became EXCEEDINGLY Interested) I neglected my studies to watch her nimble fingers dancing over the keyboard with impossible speed, and 1 was fascinated, and lost in awe and admiration. And her playing! —it was a beautiful world in Itself. But all these descriptions fail utterly In conveying the ardor and hopelessness with which I loved her. Her eyes hypnotized me and lured me into destruction; and her hair (such are the snares of abominable love) was like a dark wilderness where I had lost my way. “Now 1 became sadly altered. 1 failed to study; I did not rare to exercise any more; I forgot to eat; and I could not s eep; for in my whole being one passion dominated and let nothing else intrude. I endured my agony for some time, but at last I grew desperate. 'What use Is there in suffering? I asked myself. It was one of my precepts that no one should be ashamed of love. I believed In honesty (pitiful fool that I was!) and so resolved to end the misery by telling HER my love. This I boldly did in class one morning; but, tho my declaration was couched in a very modest whisper, she immediately slapped me out of my seat. This would have discouraged some, but that ardor of mine was not so easily dami� ed. i proceeded to speculate on how i should still win her. I considered that she had much to do with society, while I did not. No doubt this was the chief reason why she did not appreciate me. I resolved to become a society man. She had a ‘steady beau’, but this caused me little concern, in fact, I think It encouraged me; for lie was at least five years older than she. a very modest and sedate fellow; and I felt convinced, comparing his nature and mine, that she must ultimately hail my attentions with joy. So I proceeded to make a ‘fusser’ of myself. Mark well my disastrous failure! “There was a high school dance given, and I asked her to go with me. She accepted. I do not pretend to explain this: but It is a fact. Now I wish to tell you of a clever ruse which I tried to put Into execution. It is not that I particularly wish you to know of this ruse, but rather to show you how very clever a person may be. and still bring havoc down on his head, if he is a 'pilP. This night of the dance, I clearly saw, afTorded me the most golden opportunity for winning my beloved forever. And I did not waste the chance. Hear my guileful plan: I took an accomplice into my confidence. When my beloved and I were returning from the dance, he was to secrete himself In some bushes which darkened our homeward path. He was to spring out and attempt to rob us. but i. unarmed as I was, after putting up a noble and defiant oration, was to make a heroic defense, only to be shot in cold blood and dragged into the thicket. It was a bold and gallant plan, between admiration for m.v bravery and compassion for my fate, I had no doubt that her heart would scon be completely my own. “Wo went to the dance. It was my first dissipation In ten years; hut such is the devastation of love. I went around among the guests, and tried to fill up my program, but I was repulsed thirteen times. I was repulsed, but not nonplussed. She, the goal of all my worldly ambition, accepted a dame with me. (What makes you smile?) At first I was In Paradise; but alas! it did not last long. 1 had hardly completed one blissful circuit of the ball-room, when, I know not how. my feet suddenly flew from tinder me. Not wishing to fall, 1 held on to her; but wo both descended to the floor with a trash. The tears still rise to my eyes, and my voice chokes, when I think of the lamentable occurrence. I shall say no more of It. “You sec in what stead my physical vitality and endurance had stood me. Even I felt a trifle discouraged now; and only the prospect of the drama which I had arranged served to keep me from being really melancholy. As we drew nearer and nearer to the 'fatal thicket, my heart began to pound with excitement. How would the plan work out? How would SHE he affected? Would my confederate’s acting prove true to life? Would my own? But I had not long to wait, or no time In which to change my plans, had I so Intended. A tali, dark form sprang out of the hushes and confronted us. 'Hold up your hands!' shouted the villain. My precious screamed. “ ‘Have no fear,' I said, in hold and assuring tones. ‘I shall defend you!’ ‘Youse two will kindly hand over all yer jools!’ said the robber, in a low Uud steady voice, 'ami I’ll kill the first one that lets out another yap!' “ ‘You may have all MY jewelry', 1 said, in my most romantic tones, ‘but you shall never have hers. I' 11 never see that. I'll die first!' 'Oh ho! you will, will you!' roared the ruthan; and then, instead of producing the deadly revolver, he seized me powerfully by the collar, held me dangling at his arm's length, and showered such a ruin of kicks upon me as, considering their unerring accuracy and terrible force, I had never thought it in the power of human being to deliver. ' 'So you'll die first, will you! Ho ho ho! Haw haw haw! Take my compliments first. Take that, and that, and this to go on!’ and with that he planted upon my tingling trousers the most tremendous kirk of all, and then threw me bodily into the thicket. All this I should not have minded, had it not been for one terrible fnct. My beloved, ray precious, my angel, the guiding star of my life, burst into si reams of uncontrollable laughter, and walked off with my brutal assailant and treacherous confederate! I could have stood the kicks, and the betrayal, and the disgrace, but this was too much. My first and only idea was suicide; and I was firmly resolved to carry it out. Next morning I went to school; but I had gone to a diug store first. As I passed to my seat, I heard a chorus oi muffled snickers; but I proudly held my head erect, and din not droop my eyes, for 1 had a bottle of carbolic acid in my pocket. At noon a crowd of boys congregated to lampoon me: but 1 heeded them not. 'AH!' 1 thought, in hideous triumph, •I shall soon change their tone!' As soon as they began hurling their taunts at me, I assumed my most dramatic attitude, and pulled the fatal vial from my pocket. 'Boys,' I began, Mt a fellow was In love, and it was no use, or if he was dlsgraied and sick of life anyhow, there's enough In this bottle to end it all.’ Silence drew down on the crowd. Some looked puzzled: some, alarmed; but I proceeded. ‘You fellows have all seen me In that new brown suit, and high collar, and black, bow tie. Those clothes will look best on me when 1 am dead; and I want you to get them to put them on me. I'm sick of life, fellows, and here is where I end it all. Tell Miss Randall that i loved her to the last. Good-bye!' And with that I swallowed the deadly acid. “But, may Heaven defend and deliver me! A sickening shudder passed thru my frame; for, no sooner had the fluid passed my lips than I realized that it was, not the fatal poison which I thought, but that most loathsome and nauseating of all concoctions -CASTOR OIL! As several boys rushed to my assistance, one picked up the empty bottle and smelled ol it. He passed it around; and soon there was a horrible and deafening roar of laughter. “Thus Tar 1 have attempted to show you all the bitterness, disgrace and misery which is attendant on the life of a ‘pill . the meaning of which you now understand. I hope you have hearkened well to my tale, for it is nearly told. I hopo you have seen well the moral which is so evident in all that shame and pain which I suffered. Love was the llnal cause of my terrible end: but. had my former life been different, love could never have cut me so cruelly. Had I always joined myself with society,—had I early learned proficiency at the theater, the rink and the dance hull, and received all the mental, physical and moral uplift which goes with that proficiency.- I might have won the heart of her for whom I soon died. Had 1 sougt the true course, and followed in those paths of life which all around me pursued. I should have been one of their Messed -company—loved and revered by all. As none of the young men around me had any respect for love, so might I have had none, had I lived a normal life; and thus would I have saved myself boundless grief. But I say all this is past and Irremediable; and I only tell It to you In order that you may yet see your true way and avoid a fate like mine. I et me implore you. passionately and earnestly, to drop your present mode of life, which is all too like what mine was, and seek the prevailing means for mental, physical and moral development. 1 implore you to seek your salvation in the paradise of theaters, cigar stores, dance halls and all those other prevalent God-scuds—which must be the best or they would not prevail. Do this, and you are happy and safe forever; neglect to do so. and you are miserably and irrevocably lost. Now I nnsten on to complete my tale. 1 dared not attend school on the afternoon after my attempted suicide. Even the town, my home town, afforded no shelter or comfort for me. the outcast. I packed up my few earthly possessions and prepared to leave the vicinity forever. I had no money; so I walked down the railroad track, and around a bend, until 1 came to a water tank. Here I waited in dejection for the coming of a freight train. Soon I heard the whistle of a locomotive, and the rumble of freight cars. The train came around the bond, and 1 prepared to board it. But, as it drew very near. I changed my motive. Hastily throwing aside my suit-case, I laid my tired form across the rails. The locomotive approached; it struck me; it rolled its front wheels across my ribs. My poor, tired, emaciated, miserable body was unable to sustain the ponderous weight. I perished. That’s all.” The sad, stern specter ceased. Silently, by an invisible something, the window was again raised. Slowly, proudly, majestically, the ghost drifted out into the silent night. A horrifying roar arose, with all the abruptness of a cannon shock. But it grew less vehement, and then more gentle still, until at last it dwindled away into a distant murmur and sigh, it was the last blast of the hurricane, and It bore away the best friend I ever had,—the specter. He was gone, that kind and blessed ghost; but oh, the alteration which lie had wrought in me! From that fateful night 1 led a better life. You who are acquainted with me know with what a brave carouse” 1 now mingled in society. I go to skating rinks; and it is said by all that my grace on the lloor and my luxuriant variety of conversation are unparalleled. I frequent theaters; and no voice is more loud or ready than mine In demanding the hook.” or the shovel. 1 attend every dance; and none can execute the turkey trot, the bunny-hug.” or the “grizzly bear” with greater grace than I. As a result. I am wonderfully developed, physically, mentally and morally. Few can stand the late hours which 1 endure, or the wine and tobacco which 1 then consume. None can cheat so successfully at cards as I; and none is so eloquent or logical in upholding the only true course of life. No man can boast of greater disrespect than mine for such absurd foibles as honesty and love, i am a guiding light to the rising generation; and 1 look forward with calm assurance to a life of perfect ease and bliss, a peaceful death, and an endless Paradise hereafter. Hut I have not forgotten whom to thank for these blessings. Many a dreary autumn night have I listened to the mournful wind howling by my window-lattice, and heard the dismal rain, and the sad sound of falling leaves, and said from the depths of my very soul, God bless the ghost of that pill”! PRIZK POKM. I he Annual Board, in its desire to make Quip and Quill better than ever before, decided to add a new feature to The Annual by having a prize poem contest. The result was very successful; the following poem written i y I'.ulalia Anderson, receiving first prize: SUNSET IN THE ROCKIES. In the late afternoon, in the summer. When the day was almost at an end. We turned from our trail thru the pine trees. A zigzag path to ascend, Which led to the top of the rim-rock. Whence the view of the mountain-aide Had been a long-coveted pleasure And the aim of a long day's ride. Our ponies were left as the cowboy s, Tethered with reins hanging down, As with weary steps, and unsteady. We climbed to the mountain's crown. The loose stones oft slipped in the dust Under feet both careful and slow. How different this from the moss-paths Just down In tlie valley below! Far in the west, on the mountains, A golden sun hung low. Whose soft yellow shine and sunbeams Were all gathered by the snow That lay on the great l’n( ompahgres. Distant two hundred miles or so; While between us and that range of the Rockies Was the great, green region below. Far away In the depths of the valley Were forests of aspen and pine. Encircling glistening lakes Which numbered near eight and nine. There were grasses tall and wild flowers And trees both young and old. And the glittering shimmer of silver and green Was softened with purple and gold. Ix w in the east, near the mountain. Hung a glorious star that night. In deepest blue of evening sky. 'Twas the first that came into sight. In the west the brilliant sunset Had all darkened to purplish gray. And the fragrance of June in the air Was sweet at the death of that day. Then, over the vast panorama Our hungry eyes gazed once more; How changed in the gathering darkness. The forests more black than before! But the lakes still shone thru the pine trees, ((listening and silvery and bright. And across on the great Unrompahgres I.ay the snow, all cold and white. “Your son James graduates from the Grand Junction High School this year, doesn’t he?” “Yes.” confessed honest Mr. Coloord; “but, in justice to the High School. I must admit that he had no sense belore-hand.” HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA In the fall of 1910, a few of the musically inclined pupils In the High School were called together by Dr. Cole and Albert Hubbard for the organization of a High School Orchestra. Like many other great accomplishments, acquired during the history of the world, their first attempts were wolfed at by a few less artistic personages, and it may be confessed that the first rehearsal was humorous. However, after diligent practice and consultation with musical authorities, they made their debut the following month at a High School musical; and, from the applause which stormed their first production (and which was reported by Mr. Dodds, a block away, to sound like a Kansas cyclone approaching), they knew fame to be theirs, and thereafter wore attitudes appropriate to their station. On account of a number having left school, only three ot the original eleven in the orchestra remain: but the present number have worked together faithfully and harmoniously, and have furnished music not only for High School affairs, but also for many local benefits. There is no other organization in the High School that is more popular or entertaining. gpH( .... ■ -� Ht = 1H[i HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL STAFF GLEN MERRILL Editor-in-Chief MABEL MARSH LLOYD LAVAN ANNA MARTIN Associate Editors FRED FLUKE EULALIA ANDERSON IRENE VOILS Society Editor n WILBUR HARDS Athletics Editor BRUCE KNIGHT Staff Artist LUKE GEX Josh Editor II WILLARD ROSS Manager || 3H = It Is reported that Roger Frohn and the Kruh sisters are getting to be experienced turners.

She asked Roger Frohn to take her to the Junior-Senior party; and when lie accepted, sne backed out. Say, Bo; here’s a chance to hop a freight!” “What freight?” “Gwan!

Whose eye is that on the end or your hat-pin?” Did you kiss Frank in the cactus garden?” “Well, it felt like that!” Professor Tope caught Roy Da I ns and Jim Colcord snicking their pipes. At first he was angry. Soon his lower jaw descended, emitting a tall grin. ••Hum! he observed. Pipes are getting so they don’t tare who smoke them! Shorty—Miss Scott, what makes that red spot on your nose? Mias Scott Why, Williard! What an impudent question! It's glasses. Shorty—Glasses of what? On the night of the Junior-Senior party some presumptuous Sophys and Freahies gave chase to Geo. S. Gallupe. He was equipped with a good-sized pair of McConnell Lowe’s shoes. Nuff said. They kidnapped George with half a hundred men; They saw his face, and let him go again. WHY TEACHERS GO CRAZY. I didn't know we had that for today. Who wrote Shakespeare’s Hamlet by Francis Bacon? 1 10380, may 1 borrow an eraser? “Aw, that part's torn out of my book. “PLEASE, may 1 go out and get a drink? There was a young dancer named Orr, Who couldn't stand up on the floor; So he said: I've a hunch (Hie!) there's booze in the punch; ‘Ere's (Hac!) where I drink a glass more! Brodine—It seems to me that I’m very unlucky. If tt was raining soup. I’d be sure not to have a spoon in my pocket. Now, ono day I found a pocket-book with a thousand dollars In it. Ross—That was good. Bro.—No; It was bad—for I bought a lot of sheep with the money. Ross-—That was good. Bro.—No; It was bad—the sheep all died. Ross—That was bad. Bro.—No; It was good—I sold all the hides and bought a house. Ross—That was good. Bro.—No; that was bad—the house burnt down. Ross—That was bad. Bro.—No; that was good—for I had all my English and German books in the house. Miss Scott gave us a little rhyme the other day: “Eurydiee, Eurydlce! Where in Hell can my wife be?” She always remembers such little rhymes as that. There was a young husky called Dunk. Who of avoirdupois was one chunk; And he did so much eat That he broke down his seat. And lit on the floor with a plunk. Letitia Mooney says that Cine told Ulysses to go to Hadez. Dancing—Exercising to music with one's arm out of place. In German Class Miss Relc-hmuth often addresses us an You children.” Well, we don’t care. It makes us all feel young again. R. E. Tope: Every dog has his flees. There was a good preacher named Dodds. Whose thoughts and whose actions were God's: But, If, by any chance. You should mention the dance. His kicking was somewhat like Maud's. Lloyd Levan In English: He kissed her behind the door.: APPRECIATION The editorial staff of this Annual wishes to thank the merchants for their valuable aid in the publishing of this book.
