We are proud of her lads and her lassies, Of honors won in days gone by,— So here’s a cheer for old High School, For our old High School, Our Dear Old High! Soon for us will holidays be ended, I he dreams of youth, that fade so fast. But we know that the heart oft will ponder In memory, o’er scenes that arc past. There are joys that will long be remembered, And friendships too, that ne’er die, I hen here’s a cheer for old High School— For our old I Iigh School, Our dear Old High. Chorus.

Tt is a difficult task indeed to write the history of a so learned, amiable, gifted and sophisticated a class. On September 7, 1909, our talented class entered the High School, one hundred strong. Qn the first morning, lo and behold, we had to march into the Assembly before all those seemingly wise Sophies, Juniors and Seniors, who kindly sang to us that song, appropriate for most Freshies but not for us, “1 low green they are.” Of course at first we did feel rather awkward, I confess, and our feet felt overly large and our hands, oh, my! what should we do with them. But we soon got over such embarrassment and bravely yelled back— “Listen to ’em yell, listen to ’em yell. They aren’t so many if their heads do swell.” Our first year was a complete success; even a few were encored anti decided to repeat the stunt, but the rest of us gladly marched to the more elevated position of Sophomores, where the class was split up to decide the great question whether “Athens were greater than Sparta.” The Athenians received first place. A banquet was held at the St. Regis hotel in honor of the great event. After a thjrce-month’s vacation we enrolled as Juniors, proud to be able to sit in the same room with the Seniors. Three class affairs were “pulled off” during our term in the eleventh grade. At the Junior-Senior party, the guests were entertained by a programme and a dance. The next social event was the Senior-Junior mask party, at which there was a profusion of many bright-colored and ornamental costumes. After Christmas vacation we moved into the new school building, where we arc now located. At the end of the year the Seniors were given a banquet by the Juniors. In our last year we Seniors have been entertained royally by the Juniors, at a Valentine party. The decorations of the hall where it was held were of red hearts, cupids and wishbones. The Seniors have chosen as their class play, “ The Kingdom of Heart’s Content,” which will be presented at the Majestic Theatre at the end of the year. Taking a steamer at New York, bound for San Francisco in the year 1915, I settled down to enjoy the trip around through the Panama Canal. I began to notice faces and to my surprise, I recognized Duncan Collins to be the skipper. When I went to my dinner I found that all the food had been thoroughly tested and approved by Dr. Leonard Smith, a noted pure-food exponent. Upon again ascending to the deck, I found Clarence Cox busy entertaining Nora Brown, Margaret Cole and Clara Barton. Arriving at the mouth of the canal, I found that Ruth Nelson and Walter Dcvy were keeping the wireless station in partnership. Meeting no one else of acquaintance until reaching San Francisco, I was not surprised to meet a little, curly-headed young man, who said, “Name, address and occupation. Who could it be but Carroll Smith, who was reporting for the San Francisco Times. Proceeding up one of the main streets, I saw a building named Suffragette Block. On the third floor I read three signs that interested me—“Neeb and Me-Taggert, Lawyers-Experts in Divorce ;”“01sen and Lim-berg, Matrimony,” and “McClure and McConnell, real Estate.” Wondering if these could be old friends, I went to the elevator which I found to be operated by Rhoda Merritt. Upon reaching the third floor I was showered with greetings, not only by Lenore, Hazel, Viola, Olga, Zclla and Florence, but by Aria Tuffy and (jlen Walker, who found it necessary to patronize the firm of Neeb and McTaggert. At the great Exposition grounds, many surprises awaited me. Among the first to be recognized was May Kane, selling tickets and Meriam Lamb and Theresa Mead at the stiles taking tickets. Then the amusement park drew my attention, where I met familiar faces in unfamiliar places. The first crier proved to be Warren Harris advertising Senorita Hazel Ryan, the greatest Prima Dona and Carl Toupain, world-famous pianist and accompanist. Just in front of me stood Carl F'ahr-meyer and Ruth Rankin, taking in every word of this famous gentleman’s speech. Being very tired and warm, I entered a refreshment booth conducted by Ernest Slinkard and Mrs. Slinkard, nee Gladys Adams. In this booth I met Gladys Gimplc, Hazel Pearce, Ethel Scovill and Edna Glendenning, who were enjoying the sights of the F'air, under the able chaperonnge of Don Mead and Mrs. Mead, formerly Annette Walker. Being interested in chemistry and domestic science I visited these departments, finding that Mildred Adams was the head of the chemistry department, ably seconded by I h b n Burkhalter and that Beth Ziller was the ruling force in domestic science. Hjarehu'll to Farewell to dear old (i. J. 11. S. It is with a pang of regret that we utter these words, as memories of the good times we have bad together surge upon us. No more, alter that memorable night when we received our diplomas shall we all meet to talk our lessons and plan social affairs, to discuss Saturday's football game, or last night's basket ball. No more will the peal of that school bell call us to our classes. No more shall we enjoy the daily companionship ot our teachers, and feel the joy of a lesson well prepared or the win of one neglected. No more as high school students will the Superintendent’s welcoming smile greet us in the morning as we ascend the stairs. Becoming wearied of the sights of the grounds I went to the central castle, where the queen of the exposition reigned supreme. I wished to pay compliment to this illustrious lady, so I made an entrance, though with difficulty, as many others wished the same honor. Upon being conducted to her throne, marvel of marvels, I saw before me in all her splendor Lucilc Hunter, with her maid of honor, Marion Ellard. Thus came to a glorious end a trip which brought hack old memories and well-known faces. —Ward A. Johnson, ’13. ©lh (6. 3. We all look forward with joy to our commencement, yet it is with a pang of regret indeed that we say farewell to our high school days. After we leave these dear old walls, we shall never again meet as a class. We must part; each one must go his way. Some perhaps will enter college to continue the work they have begun here, to prepare themselves for the greater and deeper things of life; others may take up their life work immediately, for which their teachers have striven to prepare them. And each one will endeavor to contribute something to this old world, so that it will be better for our having lived in it. —IIt'le'H Burkhalter.

Thev might have been as green as the average class but no greener. When it came time to go up to Room One there were pale faces, weak knees and a few other afflictions noticeable hut the Freshmen were at last all assembled and ready to hear the time honored song “How Green I hey Arc.” I he ordeal in the Assembly was soon over and then came the assignment of classes. When the Latin students got their hooks, puzzled indeed were they. Porta portae portae, etc., were more than thev were used to. Algebra was not quite so bad, Fnglish was still better and History was mild compared to the rest. The results of that written above was shown in the work down in the Sophomore year. We were not quite so strong in numbers as the year before but we made that up in hard work. The law of the survival of the fittest had weeded out the poorer ones and though we might not have been as Studious a class as we could have been, there were no total flunks in the class. On February 16 was held the annual affair which has caused rivalry between the two factions of the class for eleven years. The question was stated this year as “Resolved that Sparta was as Great as Athens.” Rus- scl Coles, Edith (dassford and Edward Wilson battled lor Athens while Mary Martin, Will Anderson and Elmer Sargent upheld Sparta’s cause. The judges spent some time in deciding, but finally gave the victory to Athens. Early in April occurred the Spartan-Athenian Banquet. The affair was held at the Y. M. C. A. As was expected the upper classmen appeared about seventy-five strong. The entire building was surrounded so that no Soph, could get in. After nine-thirty the upper class-men departed and it has been said that it was the best class-fight ever had here in the Junction. Nobody was hurt, no property was destroyed and no one was sore. I he Sophomore class was divided into the Spartan Literary Society and the Athenian Literary Society. Meetings were held every two weeks throughout the most of the year. Many victims were put on the program against their wish but they had no choice. Tune arrived, bringing long feared and final exams. It is worthv of mention that during our Sophomore year we left the old High School building, where we had entered as Freshmen, and went to the new High School, which was completed in the middle of the year. I he first of last September we assembled in the division of the seats just opposite of where we sat last year. I here were ten of our hst-vears class-mates who did not come back. Their places were partly filled by the addition of some new faces. Manv have left us during the year but a large class still remains. The literary was held with the Seniors this year, making it more interesting than it was last year wher we had just a few to pick from. —Bonne field Aupperle. Glen Cheedle, President Muriel Coles.

During the lapse of a year changes have been wrought in our enrollment and only eighty-five ambitious students have survived for the seemingly hard, but pleasant labors of the present Sophomore year. We went through that stage—through which all innocent “Freshies” have to go, namely, the “verdant stage.” Nevertheless the class of Nineteen Fifteen soon became considered as the most remarkable Freshman Class ever assembled. We had so many loving qualities blended with our wonderful rapidity along mental lines that we at once made a hit with all of the teachers. (As was shown by the C+ lists.) When the time came for us to lay aside our coat of green there were a few who were loath to leave behind our Freshman studies and those kind persevering Freshman teachers who had struggled so hard to lead them along the paths of knowledge. (As well as for other reasons.) The next fall we returned again for another year of work. It was then that we thought dignity should begin to sprout, and was not this feeling justified ? Was there not a great large Freshman Class looking up to us as their superiors. So far this remarkable period in our lives has certainly been the “Busy Season.” We have made further and still more remarkable increases by strengthening our mental capacity until it can now hold whole pages of Caesar, Ancient History and Rhetoric, without the help of-------. (Saying nothing of Geometry.) This year also witnessed us winning the High School Championship in basketball. On January- the seventeenth, our great annual Spartan-Athenian Debate occurred. Both sides acquitted themselves creditably. Sparta was declared the victor. Not one of us will ever forget that glorious banquet held at the LaCourt, which occurred on the evening of January the twenty-first. That remarkable evening when we so shrewdly outwitted the other Classes. ( ?) Although the Plague of Spring Fever is working in our ranks, we all expect to become jolly Juniors in a few weeks. We close with that sentiment upon our lips. —By Lawrence Ricks. iCrrsImtan (Class Bull � FRESHMAK CLASS Alameda Brown. Maraleue Chambers. Ella Fuchs. Mabel Glover. Marjorie Hewett. Zorn Nelson.

FRESHMAN CIJlSS iftrslmtau (Class Histuru v_ . � L One autumn day last September, one hundred and fifteen red-faced, frightened little upstarts, fresh from the hands of the eighth grade teachers, for the first time mounted the staircase of the Franklin School and commenced a year of toil, strife and woe. Strange as it may now seem, we were those creatures. Our class is probably the most lucky of all Freshman Classes that has ever been in Grand Junction because, in the privacy of our own building, we escaped the one thing which all F'reshmen dread—that humiliating war song, which is often sung for the benefit of the “Greenies.” Indeed our class is one of which each 1 Iigh School student ought to be proud. Whenever the school is hard up or in need of support at a musical or a football game, it always comes around for our liberal patronage. We seem to live apart from the rest of the 1 Iigh School. We have our own literal )' society, which is truly a credit. Then we have our own principal and teachers and enjoy many advantages which make us feel that we are almost independent; consequently we have outgrown our greenness. You will always find that on every Wednesday morning, Professor Allen has someone deliver an address to the students at the other buliding, then on Friday morning has this same person deliver the same address to us at the Franklin building. I his makes us Freshies feel rather conceited, makes us feel as if we arc a little better than the other classes because we get the real address, the one at the other building being merely a rehearsal. We hope that many other Freshman Classes will be as fortunate as we have been. We hope that they will not lower the standard set by our class, which is one of the highest ever attained; and furthermore, we hope that each year as great, or a greater per cent of Sophomores will be moulded out of the green clay of which all Freshies are made, as we, after a year of toil, have been moulded out of this same material, in the wonderful class of 1916. —Harold Holm burg and Henry Fidel. (Die parting of tljc JPay As twilight was gently settling over the earth with a soothing balm for those toilers who know no rest, the traveller noticed a hoy, a young man, reclining on the ground, his hands supporting his chin, in a pensive and thoughtful attitude. The evening breezes softly playing with his curly hair, were whispering strange and awesome words to the boy. He was musing, pondering over the future. He had finished, completed, the foundation of his life’s work, and was planning the superstructure. The struggle for existence was just beginning for him. Either he must go to college where competition was fierce, or he must get out into the business vvorld, where competition and rivalry was even more vigorous and exacting. The parting of the way had come. Which path should he choose. College or business. He had reached the great divide after years of patient strug- gling and in choosing the path, he was gathering all the experience, power and knowledge, which those years had given him, to his aid. College or business. In which should the next four years he spent? To enter an office, a mercantile house, or a machine shop would mean money, ready money, only a little at first, but more and more as the years pass. While to enter college, would mean practically no money coming in. But is money all ? At the end of the four years, who is the more developed, the youn college man or the young business man? College broadens a man, giving him a vast knowledge of the world, including, perhaps, a little business experience. While business, although munificent in a monetary wav, narrows the voung entrant down to only one walk of life—monev getting. Narrows him is hardly strong enough, it stifles him. throttles him. giving him no glimpse of other things moving around him. Mis hank account may be large, but is his mind as large in proportion? Do those four years of college work fit a m n to compete successfully with h m who has snent th t time in business? Look through the pages of todav s history. Who are the men leadrng the great onward movements, the men in the front, the men commanding, the men who do things? The young man. rising from the ground, had selected his course. He had fought and won. and was congratulating himself that the convict between desire for mental development and a small hank account had been decided in favor of the former. Young graduate arc you aware that vou are approaching the orcat divide. The road which vou have been traveling for the nast seventeen, eighteen or nineteen vears will divide itself o c of these dnvs. Have vou thought which path you will choose’ Three months after vou have received your dinloma, the college oath will be thrown open to you, while even the next day after you have received recognition for twelve years of hard work, the business road may he opened to you. Be cool and wise in selecting your route. Ask the advice of older heads, if you arc in doubt, but in the end, choose so that you will have no regrets. ftrriproctttv Reciprocity is a good thing. It is advocated by some of the leading statesmen of both the United States and of Canada. It involves the idea of “help your neighbors anil they will help you.” So if you want to follow the principles of the big, brainy men, reciprocate. Reciprocate by patronizing the business men who have patronized this I Iigh School Annual edition, who have made it possible, without whose help it would never have been laid in the press. The men who have advertisements in this edition are the leading business men of the city- They put up the best articles on the market, and it will pav vou to investigate their wares. It is only fair that you should do so. (The Spirit of (Class mtb School Class spirit and school spirit are the big things in college. Whv should it not be so in Hi« h School? Class spirit does not necessarily mean fighting and scrapping among the students, nor the trying to “sl;p one over” on the other classes by putting un your colors on some high place. Nor does school spirit necess rilv have to come out in getting “sore” at some other school at a football game and try to fight them because you arc beaten. Why not get away from that animal idea of wanting to fight with your fists. A prize fighter is not one of the responsible citizens of his country. Why not show your class and school spirit in friendly debate, in friendly football games? There should be more class patriotism in the Grand Junction High. Class debating societies should be formed. Class athletic societies should be formed. A good debater is just as prominent in his college as a good football player. There are other methods of developing that said spirit, which at th same time develop the student. The spirit of the school is the “kick” or “punch” of that institution. JJleu for ©mention (Published In Editorial Column of Daily News, March 22—(By R. E. Tope.) The great mass of people have always been uneducated. As the world advances educational standards rise. Therefore, while it is true today that the great mass of people are more learned than they were a century ago, the fact still remains true that they are just as far below the modern elevated standard of education as were their ancestors. It is strange that people must be exhorted to edu- cation. It is astonishing that in America where education is made as free as the air we breathe so many people should neglect to avail themselves of the opportunity to obtain a liberal education at least. It is true that the American people start to school. They continue in school with more or less regularity until they are large enough to obtain a job at some small wages. Much of the advantages offered by education are remote and the American boy is so anxious to be in the middle of life’s battle that he cannot wait for training and development. I he fact that he can work for a few dollars per week causes him to look with disfavor upon school days, whereas he should find pleasure and aspiration in school life and its duties. The graded school is the school of the masses and therefore the hope of the nation. The high school is the people’s college. Statistics show that the completion of a common school education increases a child’s chance for success four times and the completion of a high school education increases his chance eighty-seven times. This is the gist of the whole matter. It is not poetry or sentiment. It is a stem couplet of facts attested by plain figures. We must understand that before we can live in anv large sense there must be preparation. The ideals of a community cannot rise above the ideals of its citizens. The hope of our American republic, “A nation of the people, by the people, and for the people,” for security from disintegration or decay or foreign foe, rests not upon vast accumulations of wealth or big armies and navies, or utilitarian conditions of any description, but upon educated, intelligest patriotism, possessed, enjoyed and energized by a liberal majority of our citizenship. Public education is not only a matter of individual concern, but it is preminentlv a subject of public interest. Finally there is another problem of prime concern. There are now too many people of similar oreparation for life. We must force up every available bov or man, girl or woman, lest we have a great surplus of laborers down. We can get rid of excessive competition for work onlv bv educating as many ns possible for new higher, and more efficient kinds of work. Formerly this was done by war hut this method has long since been considered base and ignoble, by enlightened people. Everything we can do to make some bovs different from other bovs. and more intelligent than other bovs. helps not onlv the fortunate bov who avails himself of the opportunity and who becomes well educated, but also all bovs who have less foresight and are less educated. since it removes one more rival for inferior general work, and develops th superior special worker, whose work itself, being outside the sphere of competition, necessarily benefits others, including the less fortunate. T believe that the gigantic labor problem and all kindred issues confronting the 'Vmerican people today connot be solved bv politics. Tt is purelv and simply a condition that must be met by the whole people on a platform upon which we can all stand and that is, an ideal free education. JiUc’rc fur i tl|leficB By a vote of 147 to 3, the Grand Junction High School went officially on record against the stand taken Dy state educators at Boulder recently for the abolition ol interscholastic athletics. One hundred and fifty ballots were cast by upper classmen. In the entire school not more than half a dozen would stand for the nonsensical and narrow view of the Boulder conference. High School life centers about athletics, and the charge tnat studies are hindered thereby is foolish and without basis, for no student is allowed to partake in school contests of any kind without a passing average in all studies. The only other charge brought against athletics in I ligh School is that it teaches young America to gamble. As for this charge, we can only say that it is just as possible to gamble over a game of Old Maid as over the outcome of a football game. We believe that the action taken by the Boulder conference is senseless, reactionary, controlled and aimed in sinister manner at that which makes 1 ligh School life for a majority of all students. There is little likelihood that it will be carried out, yet we believe that all I ligh Schools in the state should register a protest against this silly talk. (Dur irst Tjear (Hazel AlacTaggart, ’13.) The first whole term in the new high school build- ing has been one grand success. Of course we Seniors ought to feel and do feel exceedingly proud to think we are the first class which has had the honor of graduating from the new building after an entire year of satisfactory work. I'he recently constructed edifice has favored the senior class to the utmost extent as the students have been especially fortunate in getting good grades, the lowest grade not falling below zero. It is really remarkable how few “C’s” the loyal seniors get for walking heavily across the floor, or for “please-take-your-seat-the-bell-has-rung.” Did you say “canning-factory ?” Oh, it’s been out of working order since last year. Do you think a senior could be “canned.” Ask Duncan. Verily, it is to be believed there would be ptomaine poisoning if such a thing happened. The new rooms, chairs and scats have taught us to be neat and careful. The new desks have made us especially studious because we sit so still for fear of marring them; vve must study to have something to do to occupy our time. What boy or girl would think of getting a German or Virgil lesson from someone else? Our school year is now nearly over and we hope, oh, Juniors, that your term as Seniors in this building will be as much of a success as our’s was. (Djc (Alimmi The Alumni of our school are the celebrated grown-up children of our honored mother, the Grand Junction High School. We arc sorry to be grown-up. We look back upon our past with a regret that dims much of the glory of our present. Old age, the ogre that devours everything young and fresh will soon be upon us. Even now wrinkles and gray hairs are threatening us. Old age, dear children, is a big green-eyed monster that chases you and roars at you and every time that you feel its hot breath, a little of the shine and glitter of the earth rubs off and you sec that the world, that you thought was a kind, jolly, Santa Clausy old man, is after all only a bald-headed, peevish, old miser. You are tempted to go up and pull his whiskers and see if they come off at night, but that ugly old maid called “They Say” comes up and slaps your hands and glares at you and you very heartily decide that maybe they do stay on after all, but secretly you have your doubts. Dear babes, in-between and yon on the verge of the future, which is to say, freshmen, underclassmen and seniors, let us give you some hcart-fc!t advice. Study well, not too much, for what you learn from books is a mere fraction of the knowledge that the world will demand of you; laugh much, for in laughter lies the secret and wealth of youth; keep busy, for work is the antidote for soul-deadening ennui. Seniors, our playmates in our yesterdays, we welcome you to our ranks with mingled joy and sadness. We are glad to have you of our number and we are sad as we realize that with each succeeding class of graduates Time blots from his records a little more of our memory. Juniors and Sophomores, we charge you to keep our High School records clean: to do nothing that may dim or mar our colors; to be loyal to our ideals of justice and fair play. Freshmen-to-bc, we welcome you to our ranks, with a little of envy for the great chances which for you are yet to be, which for us are past. So with sighs and fond regrets for the past, with smiling lips and squared shoulders for the present, we go on toward the future with an ambition to make the world a better place for our having existed. MIRIAM WELLES, Class of 12 iLiteraru The literary societies, meetings of which occur every two weeks, have been a great benefit to the pupils of the I ligh School. In preparing articles, debates, and many different things for the affair, the students are abliged to read current literature and make a study of the papers; in this way they keep up with the different movements in the world, and they are enabled to talk intelligently on almost every subject. Current events, which are given once a week, also help the pupils to know what is going on all over the world. These societies have been established in our schools for several terms and the interest which is shown by the pupils will enable the meetings to be continued for many years. (Hlje tory “How the harsh wind creaks and cracks And howls and growls at the old hay stacks.” Little John was sitting up close to the fire, Hugged tight by his mother, to his own desire, Tell me tne story we all like to hear.” “Now you be good and go to sleep And I’ll tell you the story that shall always keep.” jSwirttcs Two thousand years have nearly gone, Since the first Christmas day did dawn.

None were exempt, both large and small, The strong, the weak, both young and old; Put all the people under his control. To pay their tax, all had to come From where they lived, to Bethlehem. All places filled—no room to sleep For many that arrived that night. They went in the folds, among the sheep Or where any shelter came in sight. In groups that night they slept forlorn, That night that Chirst, our Lord, was horn. There in a stable he was born, Where many had gone to pass the night. In a manger he was laid to morn, Till from Her rod’s wrath, they took to flight. But angels o’er that stable sang The first Chirstmas song at Bethlehem.

Hut alas, I found there was nothin’ doin’. When I thought I hail my rhymes down pat My head commenced buzzing with higher math.

I or young and old, and even the poor Will shout with joy, as I enter the door. “Good Fellows” 1 found, all through the city, With open purses, their hearts filled with pity. ‘ Big Brother” is nobly doing his share Providing the hungry with Christmas fare. Remember, the High School I have not forgotten. Tell teachers and all, to hang up their stockings. Re sure they are large size, and no holes in the heel. A stocking with no foot is impossible to fill. To the Seniors in special I'll leave a slight token. It’s their last year in school, at least so they’re hopin’. But what does for me, will not do for another; It is surely causing me all kinds of bother. For F.arl is president, now what can I bring To one who is next in rank to a king. Ami Carrol, an editor has become. Ho you think he’d be satisfied with a drum ? Ruth has joined society’s ranks. Duncan is joking, watch out for his pranks. Lenore is writing as fast as she can: And Karncst is quite a business man. Beware of Hazel, lest your picture she’ll draw, To put in the Annual, which will be without flaw. And, as for Glen, he’s the Sportsman you know. How the Tigers won out, he’ll certainly show. And now the Faculty, Juniors and Seniors Will enjoy a vacation from work most strenuous.

Miss Laura Lee, Miss Mildred 1 lammond and Andre Stong proved the affirmative side ot the question which was stated: ‘‘Resolved, that Sparta was as great as Athens.” The three Athenian debaters were Miss Muriel Coles, Paul Knight and Lawrence Ricks. The Ancient History students contributed ten cents each, with which they purchased three books and gave them as a reward to the three debaters who delivered the best orations. Miss Laura Lee carried off first honor, winning “Innocence Abroad,” by Mark Twain. The second prize was awarded to Miss Muriel Coles, and the third to Lawrence Ricks.

The boys finally overcame their bashfullness and after many heroic attempts, at last made their way into the home of Mrs. A. P. Wadsworth, where merriment was unconfined.

A few minutes after ten o’clock, dinner was served. “Quality and quantity” are the best means of describing it and due credit belongs to the members of the class who had arranged it. Then came the toasts, given by I iura Lee, Lawrence Kicks, Muriel Coles and Audrey Stong, Paul Knight filling the office of toastmaster. The toasts added greatly to the enjoyment of the evening; the longstanding enmity between Sparta and Athens being in most cases forgotten.

It was in the nature of a “Kid Party.” All the little ones came dressed in dainty children’s frocks, pinafores and Buster-Brown suits, each bringing his favorite toy or dollie. Appropriate games, such as blind-man’s huff, pussy-wants-a-comcr and drop-the-handkerchicf, were merrily carried on in one comer. Even though the company was quite young, some good dances were found in their midst and during the evening dancing was enjoyed. Stick-candy and chewing gum were indulged in by these dignified ( ?) scholars as never before. Margery Hall was decorated in a manner suggestive of childhood days.

Few people, aside from those who have been “through the mill,” realize what it really means to be a I ligh School graduate. The many never stop to consider the trials and tribulations which arc undergone by those who reach the goal. They think only of the advantage anil pleasures which are derived thereby. But let us stop and consider: IP hat docs it mean to be a High School Graduate? In the first place it means four years of hard work to metomorphose—take notice, no one but a High School graduate would use that word—the verdant “Freshie” into the atured and finished product of our 1 ligh Schools, the Senior graduated. It means the expenditure on the part of the dear fathers and mothers of no small amount of their carefully earned dollars, that their sons and daughters may have all the advantages and some of the disadvantages connected with I ligh School life. There is the burning of quantities of midnight oil, or rather electricity; perchance not always over studies. There are class dues galore, and in the Senior year, pins and commencement expenses: while, of course, the Athletic Benefits must always be patronized. It means an immeasurable expenditure of energy. Think of getting up in time to reach school by nine o’clock every morning for four years. Think of the countless times that a five- or ten-minute walk has been covered in two or three minutes; then add to this the climbing up and down stairs many times during the day breaking down millions of fine tissues with its resultant exhaustion which causes the loss of our best friend— ilt’a a prasurr Jo Ua to Do iBuat-nraa utith ffmttuj pnplp Especially with young people who are getting a substantial education in the public schools. 10 r iKtuuu That it is good for them to have savings accounts, and we like to carry their savings accounts in our bank.

Oh, it means self-sacri-lice to be a High School graduate. What then arc the compensations for all this sacrifice? This negative side, as we may call it, of the High School course is only a part, and a minor part at that, of what it really means to be a I ligh School graduate, although, at the time, it looms large on our horizon. After these petty annoyances are past, the individual perceives the significance ol the greater good derived and that a I ligh School course means to a certain degree, a trained mind, which enables one to discriminate between the important and unimportant, the valuable and the useless, the true and the false, in the larger relations of life. It means an arousing of the ambitions. I low can one who has caught a glimpse of the beauties of true literature or peered into the wonders of science ever again feel satisfied to go through life with unseeing eyes or live on the sordid plane of mere existence? Graduation from a High School means a foundation for a larger life, be it in college or the busy world of commercialism. It means an increased efficiency. Statistics show that the person with a High School education stands over twenty-two times as good a chance of reaching distinction as the one with only the equipment of a common school. Today the question ol the world is; What can one do? How well can he do it? Efficien-cy, ability to grapple with the affairs of life, surely this is worth sacrificing for. It means enlarged opportunities.

As an evidence of this, the managements of the large concerns are now demanding that their employes have a High School education or its equivalent. I .ast but not least, it means the exhiliaration of victory and all life, all work is richer and fuller for the exhiliaration that follows victor)’ in any line of endeavor: so, to the High School graduate comes this sense of victory, something accomplished, a goal reached, a prize obtained that gives an impetus for the race of life.

One exception must he noted, for it never under any circumstances, not even when found among Freshmen, is green. Its chief aim is to look wise. As to the season when this specimen may be found, no time can be given, for some arc found all year and a number appear at intervals. They are especially numerous after a social event at school, or a dance, or some other affair in town. As to habits, the one thing to which this creature is averse is studying. One exception may he found here also—when it goes to the class room and has to get a whole lesson between the five-minute bell and the last one. It never studies at night, and Saturday and Sunday are spent in doing much more important things, such as making fudge, going down town, wrting letters ami entertaining callers. More information may be given about the Bluffer, but the best way to learn about it is by observation and experience. In looking around for specimens we may be helped in our search by remembering that some people are Bluffers all of the time, most people arc Bluffers some of the time, but never are all people Bluffers all of the time. —Selected You read the popular magazines and periodicals.

(So is a calf.) A Cow is useful in two ways; it gives milk. The milk is good to drink, also w'hite; so is the right hind foot, except on brown cows, and theirs is black. The milk is also good to eat if you freeze it. To freeze cow’s milk you use ordinary cold ice, and after the milk is thoroughly chilled you set it out in the sun for an hour and a half (anyways twenty minutes), then cut into small strips like noodles and serve while still warm. Cow’s milk straight is too strong, therefore they always divide it with the town pump or meadow brook before using. If you pour two days’ milking from fifteen cows into the well you can Have milk all winter. (Sure; my Paw does.) All cows give milk and butter —but not eggs). Cows have horns—so have automobiles—but a cow can’t blow' his horn; he gives you the horn and you make the noise. All cows like red, some of ’em will follow you all over the field to get a little bump at it, and if you are a gooder runner than him, you beat; but if he catches up w'ith you, you don’t need to run— you can fly or ride. A dead cow won’t hurt you, neither will a live cow after he’s killed. The cow has a tail also, which hangs by one end and swings to and fro (mostly fro) ; they use the tail to bat flies with. Cows generally end up in a slaughter house, where they and their old friends finally meat. “Thus endeth a Cow,”—Ex, IF You Want What You Want When You Want it call up The P. A. Rice Lumber Co.

This is the question: What are we going to do? Arc we going to prepare ourselves for the battles in life? Arc we going to follow the path which the great men have laid for us? Are we going to deviate and fall to one side and join the surging mob who are just hanging on to the thread of life? Now is the time. We must decide now how we are going to prepare for our future. Let us secure for ourselves a higher education; for, if we only turn back into history, we will find that the great men of the past, the present, were graduates of some high school or college, and is it not reasonable that the future is going to depend upon the same source? If we cannot go to some college soon after graduation, let us not give up altogether but keep up our courage and make up our minds that we will better our education sooner or later. One term in college is better than none at all, because it puts us on a plane just a little higher than we were before. An education demands a position; and the better the education the better the position. Opportunity knocks at every man’s door but once, and, if he does not open the door at the right time, it leaves, never to return. Now is our opportunity for an education, and, if we do not grasp it, we arc going to be left out in the cold. So, it is up to us, who are about to graduate, whether or not we are going to follow the path which lays before us, or whether we are going to turn aside and become a member of those who are just dragging along in the world like a pebble which rolls along the bottom of a stream and, after time has elapsed, it has grown very small, until finally it becomes a minute particle, and then dissolves into sediment, never to be seen again.

What he has done for the high school is worthy of many more words of praise than can be written with our feeble typewriter on one page, but owing to the stress of other less desirable articles, our appreciation of his sacrifices for G. J. H. S. athletics must be cut below that which he so richly deserves. It is the opinion of all who are familiar with high school affairs that Mr. DuCray has been a bigger and better “brother” to the boys of the school than probably any other person not directly connected with the institution. He not only pulled the football team away from the crumbling edge of failure into the limelight of success, but has been a big factor in the campaign started for the liquidation of the high school athletic debt. He has devoted a great deal of time and money to the cause. We certainly hope that the high school will always have such a friend.

In this game the boys were taken off their feet by superior weight and experience, but under the management of Frank DuCray, they soon regained their laurels. The early games with (jlenwood Springs and Fruita were decided victories for the 'Tigers. But the real fight for the honors was between Grand Junction, Pa-onia and Montrose. Two games were played between each of these teams and each team won on its own grounds.

Salt Xakc anil Hi'turn The first foot ball trip of the season was to Salt Lake where two games were played. The team was to leave here on October i ith on train No. i, but on account of the mistake made by the ticket agent, it looked very doubt!ul whether or not the boys could go. After some work, trouble, worry and excitement all hopes of the last trip were renewed again by the report that all trains were late. I he lateness of the trains provided so that the trip could be made satisfactorily. The hungry team, as they did not have any supper, arrived at Salt Lake at 5 a.m. One hour was spent in walking about the city for exercise. After breakfast, the boys went to their rooms and awaited patiently the time for the big game. I he time came and our boys were ready for the hard fight. They were cheered by the spectators as they ran out upon the gridiron, and they were inspired by the cintinuous yells—bur after the game this high inspiration had left them all and a down-hearted feeling came over them because they had played their best. The Superintendent of the I ligh School remarked that he had never seen such a gritty squad of football men before. Not a man was hurt, not a man wanted to quit, but played on for victory. The game was lost with a high score for the other side. The second game was played at (iranite, Utah, on Monday, the 14th. This was an exciting game and proved to be a one of skill. Our boys being somewhat stiffened from the game two days before, were somewhat handicapped; but nevertheless the boys played with heart and soul. The game was lost to the opposing team with a small score. Kach member of the team enjoyed the trip and vowed that they would trim the Salt Lake I ligh School when they played a return game on Thanksgiving Day, and they did as you all know.

TRACK TEAM Spring J tl]lctirs The spring athletics of this season brought out a greater number of both young and experienced track and field men than ever before in the history of the school. All who turned out showed a marked improvement and skill over participants in previous meets. In the interclass meet of Friday, March 18, good material from all the classes was out for each event. Judging from the showing made in several of the events, it is to be expected that in the future records will be broken not only by the sprinters but by the weight men, longdistance runners and field men. The six men picked by the track captain to represent G. J. H. S. at the annual state high school athletic meet, to be held in Colorado Springs the first part of May, will certainly pull down a few of the honors, for they have been chosen from a wide field, the majority of whom are among the top-notchers. They will have representatives in the mile, half mile, short sprints and the relay. The sporting editor here predicts that the boys will bring home first place in the half mile and the relay. On May 2 the High School team of twelve men will compete for honors against the various schools of the county at Fruita. A large loving cup will be given to the school carrying off the greatest number of points. Individual prizes also will be given. The sporting editor wishes to congratulate certain students of the school for the class spirit they showed when, instead of turning out for the meet of March 18, after the boys had trained hard and faithfully for several weeks to put up a first-class tourney, betook themselves and their “girls” to the hills. They certainly had the class spirit all right, especially those who wanted to help advertise the school by increasing the apparent number of athletes when they had their pic- tures alongside of the regular track and field athletes. But their class spirit failed to appear when the time came for them to go on the field. L.

We come upon the scene and play our part well or, perchance, poorly. The motley crowd applauds or pities or hisses accordingly as we act our part in life’s great drama. The success of the players individually and collectively depends largely upon the stage director. In the Grand Junction High School four years of careful and painstaking training and drilling is given each student before he is voluntarily dismissed to choose and act for himself in the affairs of his life. In the experience of the class of 1913 Miss, Carrie Lindley has played the part of chief stage director. It was Miss l.indley who guided us through the intricacies of our freshman algebra; it was she who assisted us in thinking and reasoning our way through sophomore geometry, and it was she who helped us delve into the mysteries of higher “math” in our junior and senior years. Finally, it was Miss Lindley who trained us for the rendition of “The Kingdom of Heart’s Content,” a popular drama we rendered at commencement. In every senior there is a feeling of gratitude for Miss Lindley. Long may she live, happy may she always be. Not the Biggest Not the Oldest Just the Best CANDIES, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, c. cIke. C. O. D.

This season’s basket ball playing proved to be very successful. 1 here were seven games played during the Fall and, with the exception of one, all were brilliant victories. 1 he girls of the H. S. did not show very great enthusiasm at the first of the year, but because of the untiring efforts of Mrs. Hillings they finally began to get a great deal more lively. YVe appreciate the kindness of Mrs. Billings, in her acting as our coach, and her faithful work which made the year's team the Champions of the Western Slope. Two games were played with Fruita in a Winter’s series, one of which was lost. The line-up this season was as follows: Bessie Miller_______________________Fonvard Dimple Mallot_______________________Fonvard May Nelson____________________________Guard Ruth Pearce___________________________Guard Ruth Nelson_________________________Running Center Lenore Neeb________________________Standing Center Substitutes—Stella Brown and Wilma Long. The games played and resulting scores were: Glenwood Springs, score 22-11, favor of Grand Junction; second game, 30-15, also in our favor; Pa-onia, 24-4, our favor; Montrose, 10-10, tie; second game, 26-10, our favor; Palisade, 40-16, favor of Palisade, second game, 14-13, our favor; Fruita, 31-8, our favor, and 28-17, their favor.

A., basketball has become one of the leading winter sports of the school students, and especially was the popularity of the game noticed this year, due largely to the greatly appreciated offer of the association of the use of its gymnasium. All of the classes had teams in the field, and the rivalry and interest taken in the several matches was great. Although the Sophomores won the High School championship, the Seniors were winners in all their games, not only with the High School teams but with various city aggregations. It is certain, from the enthusiasm shown by the classes during the latter part of ’13 and the earlier part of ’14, that even more interest will be shown in the game next year. IN THE ENGLISH CLASS.
