Senior Class History AS THE last of cur High School career is approaching, it is natural and fitting that every member of the class of ’15 should recall many of the incidents of the past four years. If we should endeavor to give the complete history of this most illustrious class, it would no doubt take a volume. As that would , perhaps become tiresome, the most important events will be given. For the first time, we as a class assembled in the Franklin building. According to the usual custom, we were heartily welcomed by the upper classmen. Our class was not permitted to be thoroughly organized because there was so much class spirit that it was not considered necessary. The next year we moved to the new High School building where we became acquainted wit ft Hie upper classmen. The annual Spartan-Athenian debate was one of the chief events of cur Sophomore year. This was the last one given between Sparata and Athens. Later a banquet was given at the La Court Hotel in honor of the Spartans who were victorious. This year we won the basketball championship. During the Freshmen and Sophomore years, we were thought of as being very well behaved, but the third year we broke our record by being tardy (so they said). For this reason wc were called the C-plus class. We really could not be blamed for wishing to visit the Freshmen when the chance was seldom given to us. The Seniors began to notice us and to consider that we did really know something. As a result of this, we joined them in the Literary society. Although the thought often came to us in the years before, how grand it would be if we were only Seniors, yet now we began to realize what a responsibility was resting upon their shoulders and that they really were the pillar of the High School. The Junior-Senior party was given near St. Valentine Day. Hearts were used in the decorations and refreshments. The next important event was the Senior-Junior hard time party. Although there was always a fight to get there, yet nearly eveyone managed to be present. It seemed very pleasant at first to be Seniors but it became less enjoyable with age as we had to be very careful what we did so as not to lead the lower classmen astray. Besides this wo hod to get our usual lessons, which were as hard as ever. But nevertheless, with perseverance, we showed, not only the other classes, but also the faculty, that we could stand the test. By hard study during our High School course, we have encountered and over-j come many difficulties, and as a result we have accomplished much towards getting 1 an education and in preparing ourselves for the larger duties before un. Mildred Hammond, our classmate, won first honors, having the highest average for the four-year course, and Era Dieffenbach, being very close, received second honors. Although, Mary Martin had the highest standing, she did not complete the required course in four years, on account of sickness last year, that took her out of school before the term had ended. As a class we are very proud of such students and their excellent records and join in congratulating them upon their success. Our class numbered forty-eight students, this being the largest class that has ever graduated from the High School. We do not wish to keep this record, but hope that it will be broken many times by the graduating classes in the future. If you wish to know the future history of our illustrious class, just turn to the class prophecy. 29 CLASS MOTTO: “What we are to be we are now becoming.” COLORS: Lavendar and Gold WM. RHONE., President FLOWE.R: Red Rose MARY McCARTY, Secretary A Trip Around the World AROUND the World in Twenty-five Days. In the year 1924, I had at last amassed a fortune. It had always been by desire to travel around the world in the shortest time possible. In other words to break the record for “around the world.” Now was my chance and I was not slow in taking it. I procured all the literature available on the subject of traveling. One advertisement caught my eye. It was an advertisement of the AERO TRAVELING CO. Tours over all the world. Harris Rider, Promoters. Oh, I mused. I wonder if they could by any chance be the Chastine and Bertha of my dear old G. J. H. S. days. On reading further I found that they were my old schoolmates. That settled it. My trip was to be by aeroplane. That is, most of the time. In the morning I went down to tine station to get my ticket. Here I was confronted by the sign PUSH THE BUTTON FOR THE TICKET-SELLER. I did as directed and was not a little surprised to see Edna Button answer the push of the button. As I turned away, after having procured my ticket, I was delighted to see Era Dieffenbach approaching. Upon accosting her I learned that she had been principal of the Chicago schools, but was now married to J. Glenn Cheedle. I also learned that they were going on a tour of Europe, and that I would have them as my companions for the first stage of my journey. The day of the start I went slowly to the station. I stepped into the luxuriously furnished aeroplane. It locked like a parlor car with a party going on. Parties had never been my forte, so I sought better company. I found it forward with the engineer, my good old friend, Clarence Veatch. Soon the “plane” started and we were flying swiftly and smoothly over fields xtf ripening grain. The trip from Denver to St. Louis took one day. Arriving at St. Louis, I took a stroll through the business section of the city. I visited a theater, where Mary Martin was giving her famous reading, “Each Boy as You Like Him.” It certainly was grand and the solos given by Marguerite Harvey were simply sublime. On my way to my hotel I bought a newspaper. In it I read of Ergen Craun, a prosperous farmer, who had recently gone to Washington to get a patent on his automatic machine which cuts the hair, shaves, and blacks the boots simultaneously. I saved several of the papers for perusal later. In the morning I was again being carried over hill and dale by the swiftest aeroplane known and was set down in New York City late at night. The next morning I took passage on the ocean-going submarine Z-24. This boat by its special construction cut the water like a knife, making better than sixty miles an hour. The electric motors, the most powerful in existence, had been designed by Ben Wright. 30 ✓ The hull and the interior, which was finished like a billionaire’s house, had been designed by William Wilson. This submarine would make the trip to Liverpool in two and cne-half days. During the day I devoured all the newspapers that I could lay hold of. I was greatly pleased to find that sevieral of my old schoolmates had succeeded in life. Will Rhone was a successful lawyer in Boston on the seaboard. Rex Rankin, I learned had just returned to his cattle ranch in Brazil, with his wife, Mable Stone, from a visit to the U. S. A. I read that Wilma Long and Lillian Smith were high up in society, the wives of millionaire’s Nell Sprct, I read in a Santa Fe paper, was engaged to one of her father’s employees. Owing to my late arrival and early start from New York I had had no time in which to loaf. But on reaching the boat I found that I was to have 11a Lyons, the great suffragette, as a companion. Nellie Haynes, a prosperous Wall Street banker, was also on board. Marion Fletcher, a prominent Parisian milliner, was returning to Paris after her annual trip to New York, for the purpose of laying in a stock of U. S. A. goods, which were all the rage in Europe. Friday neon we landed at Liverpool. In the hour’s stop allowed I was greatly pleased to meet Edwin Johnson, editor of the London Gazette. At one o’clock I started for London by pneumatic tube. This, as you know, takes a person to London in an hour. I enjoyed myself the rest of the day in hunting out some old friends, among whom were Paul Knight and his wife, Elvira Peck, ambassador from the U. S. A., to England, and Lenore Trechter, who was the wife of a “Doncher Knew” Duke. Saturday morning we flew from London and saw Paris from overhead. Then we veered off for Berlin, where I was going to spend Sunday. The scenery was indescribable so I won’t attempt a description. Saturday night I was set down in Berlin. In the morning I took a stroll down “Unter den Linden” and through the '‘Tier Garten. ’ I then went to the great library when I found that Muriel Coles was librarian. From her I learned that Lela Woodring was teacher of English in the public schools. From Berlin I went to Constantinople. I stopped for an hour in Vienna. Here I met a party of tourists from America, among whom were Eleanor Halpin, the novelist of the day, and Gretchen DeLong, the popular writer of Spring poems. On my way back to the station I saw what I thought was a fimaliar figure. I went nearer and found Mary Murphy. She was what might be called a private-public stenographer. The young swains of the town would tell her the substance of what they wanted in a love letter and she would write it up in the most elaborate style. Late at night we arrived at Constantinople, no longer under Turkish rule. One of the first sights which greeted my eyes was a pretty Oriental dance led by, would you believe it, Pearl Russell. In the morning I saw Olin Mace, the famous aviator, do the sidewise flying gingo two-step. In this “stunt” he flies with his wiings perpendicular to the earth instead of parallel. My next stop was at Jerusalem. We arrived late in the afternoon. I visited the places of greatest interest. I met Audre Stong who had charge of the Jews’ Y. M. C. A. there. This “Y” had over two thousand members. My next stop was at Ispahan. The only white person here was the missionary Ruth Pearce. The next stop landed us at Khelat. I was much pleased to meet Mable Mead here—also a missionary. The next night found us in Bombay. In this town, or village, as the easterner would say, I chanced to meet Harold Allen, who was perfecting his perpetual motion machine. He had got it to such a state of perfection that he had been able for the last five years to light the city of Bombay with the surplus power the machine developed. At Calcutta, which I reached the next night I went to hear the Golden Toned Quartett. It was composed of Gladys Merrill, Fred Peck, Chris Sehiosswohl, and Maud 31 Scovill. Chris and Maud were trying the oft-repeated saying, “two can live cheaper than one.” 1 spent my second Sunday resting in Calcutta. On my way to Hong Kong I stopped at Bangkok one night. As I stepped from the plane at Hong Kong, a woman looked at me rather closely. Later 1 learned that she was Mae Fellows, a sleuth who was tracing a criminal. Here I met Lillian Pearce who was teaching the “Chinks” how to cook. From Hong Kong to Yokahama was a twenty-five-hour submarine journey. At Yckalian a I witnessed the taking cf parts of two different movie plays. In one of the plays Mary McCarty held the leading role, in the other Florence Gimple held down that job. The submarine journey from Yokahama to Seattle took four days. We crossed the date lime Friday afternoon. As soon as we had crossed, it was therefore, Thursday afternoon, twenty-four hours earlier, making eight days to this week. We reached Seattle Saturday night. In the town I saw the sign: TOXSORIAL PARLORS Mildred Hammond, Prop. “Ah!” said I, “so this is the w'ay she chose to mould the destinies of ‘mere’ man.” Go in? No thank you, I do net wish to be the fly in the spider’s parlor. No, thank you! On our wray to San Francisco we passed over a good-looking forest. It was the forest in which Alvin Wold holds s vay. He is the best man in the forestry service and the red w’oed forest is the most valuable. In the San Francisco schools Josephine Rich teaches the kids how to cook and sew. The plane too it easy-going to Salt Lake, stopping one day at Yellowstone Park. Evadna Welch is the owrner of the inn. In Salt Lake I met Bertha Exler, the largest stockholder in the Jitney bus business. The next day at night we arrived at Denver just twenty-five days after leaving. The world’s record! The aeroplane flew only in the day time. The submarines went all the time. 32 33 34 35 Junior Class Roll CLAl'DE BAK ER “The Indies! Our arms their defense.

This wonderful class took their first step in the path cf torture one fine fall day in 1912. As usual we were placed in the Franklin building because they were so afraid our brilliant (?) faces would so outshine the upperclassmen that they would become discouraged and quit. Of course, some of our classmates dropped from the ranks, but many of us, after enduring nine months of work took the second step. At last they had decided that some of the brilliancy had worn off of our faces and we were allowed to enter the High School building. The most important affair of the year was the annual debate. The question was: “Resolved, That the Grecian Empire Has Done More For the Modern World Than Rome.” The affirmative was supported by Mark Knight, Helen Smith, and Willard Barnett; the negative by Herbert Nichols, Agnes Tale, and Harold Holmburg. The judges, after a long and heated discussion, decided in favor of the affirmative. A few days later the banquet was held at the St. Regis. Everyone arrived in some form or shape, some pleasing and some displeasing. Several more dropped from the ranks at the end of the term, but over fifty were able to survive and go on. We are now permitted to sit in the center of the room, where we can be seen by all and our conduct may be set up as an example to all. What? I should say we do not envy the Seniors their seats in the east side of the room. But nevertheless, we are all looking forward to the time when we may reach the final step in our High School course. At last the deed is done. 37 BERNICE BURKET, ’16. BETH RANKIN, Secretary WESLEY MURRAY, President COLORS: Pink and Green Sophomore Class History AND it came to pass that in the year 1913, on the morning of the third day of the ninth month, at the beginning of the third year of the reign of Hirons, “the darling and delight of all” his subjects, there arose in the Valley of the Grand, a mighty company of maidens, which numbered near one hundred strong and gathered up their promotion slips—and a few youths—and came unto the Franklin High, which is situated over against Lowell. They came as a mighty army rejoicing because of their number and their records for high averages. They betook themselves into the assembly room, as the high-brow class of 1917, ready and eager to absorb more knowledge, believing “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. And behold, they, as the days passed by, loomed up as mighty as Caesar’s tenth legion. Yea, the faculty marveled much, and were greatly plased, as, each month, they beheld the long list of names in the honor roll. The days, and weeks and months passed on, and it was ever thus, that the gods seemed to favor this tribe. For, with the dawn of the eighth day of the ninth month of the 1914 year, this same band invaded the new High School, and became Sophomores. Then spake they to one another: “Verily, Zeus is with us. Although -we have forsaken and departed from our good ruler, Hirons, we have come unto another of great virtue, our much-beloved Emperor of the House of Tope (P .P.”) (1). That the Sophomores were a mighty and powerful tribe, is proven by their many deeds of great valor. For, when the youth of the Sophomore tribe scaled the belfry tower of the Freshman tribe building and placed thereon, in triumph, the Sophomores’ banner, they were brave, indeed. The next day dawned, and the youth of the Sophomore tribe and all the maidens, rejoiced exceedingly, wdiile the Freshmen waxed wrrath and were sorely distressed, that this thing had come to pass. When the tribe of Murray and their allies, the tribe of Francis, (4) contended with the tribes of Rhone (3) and Sanford (2) in their national game of football, again the tribe of Murray wras victorious. Nowr, the tribe of the Sophomores was composed of many maidens, and fewr youths. The maidens were all exceedingly beautiful and greatly distinguished for their knowledge and wisdom, and wron great renown, because of their extraordinary 41 dramatic talents. While the youths were famous for their valor, extraordinary achievements in line of oratory and numerous victories in athletic sports. And it came to pass, under the command of the lieutenants, Ela, Lindley, and Schoder, that Sophomores produced many excellent plays. It happened, about this time, that the mighty and powerful, Tope, the Great, issued an edict, that all the tribes of the new High should assemble together on the twelfth day cf the second month of the year, 1915, to do honor to the most illustrious chief of the nation. Therefore, each tribe chose from their numbers, these best fitted to do honor to the occasion—and to their tribe. And it came to pass, that as before, the Sophomores won the laurel wreathe. Now, it happened in the adolescent days of spring, just before the spring vacation, that, Wesley, of the tribe of Murray, caused his tribe to come together, that they might take counel, one with the other. “Verily,” saith he, when they had come together, “the tribe of Sophomores is a mighty tribe and it behooves us, that we bestir ourselves and prepare a banquet in honor cf our mighty debators. And let there be much merry-making and much feasting.” And the committees were appointed, and all their plans were made, but the real day of the feasting was not made known, lest harm should come to them, for it was well known that the other tribes were wrath, and sore distressed, that the Sophomores should excell them in all things. And, while they were in council, they also made plans for a picnic. And it came to pass that Wesley, the chief of the tribe, led his followers to the top of Mt. Garfield, a feat not yet accomplished by any other tribe. And now, as the days of the term are drawing to a close, and the Sophomores have won their mighty victory, over Caesar, Geometry, English, and History, even as they had conquered the other tribes, it shall come to pass that they shall disband, and wend their several ways, mourning, each one for the other, and cherishing his tribe colors of pink and green—also the pleasant memories of their many victories—longing for the day when their excellent and well-belovied chief shall again summon them to council.

We are indeed grateful to Professor Allen for securing these literary treats and also for inducing the line local talent and visitors of importance to address and entertain us in our own assembly room. During spring vacation we went picnicking to Nothoroughfare canon and had a gay time. We enjoyed the walk in the canon and the lunch very much. The return trip was uneventful if you except the two instances when a small Freshman girl fell through a crack in the hayrack and narrowly averted being run over by the wheel and when near the Pest House a single-tree broke. After the single-tree broke we thought that the only thing left for us to do was to walk back to town. But after a lengthy consultation of the leading men of the class a messenger was despatched on horseback to town who scon returned, followed by a whole flock of jitneys which conveyed us majestically home. The Freshies have been continually accused of being tied to their mothers’ apron strings and of not being allowed to fare forth after sundown, but if, upon the occasion of the Sophomore’s trip to Mt. Garfield, one had been able to hear the frantic calls scr.t to the News office and even to the police department about 2 a. m., one would have thought they ought to have been tied to their mothers’ apron strings or to their fathers’ razor strop. During this year, we have had our trials and we have had cur pleasures—so have the teachers. They have many tinnes demonstrated to our advantage that patience is indeed a virtue. And so, even with our eye upon the future, we go on to a higher learning. If, in a few years hence, you see and hear much of Doctor and Professor So-and-So, try to remember that we were these same green FrFeshies who kept the Franklin School humming in 1915.

This work has been given to a board of editors, chosen from the Senior class. They have endeavored by their work, to make it interesting to the readers, to arouse school spirit., and to encourage others to see the many advantages offered them by the Grand Junction High School. As a result of their honest efforts for the class, his book stands as a publication in honor of the High School. But they are indebted to many others for aid in this work. To Principal Tope and Superintendent Allen many thanks are due for their guidance in the preparation and management of the volume. Among the students whom the Annual Board wish to thank are: Muriel Coles, 15, who wrote the “Girls Basketball History;” Bernice Burkett, '16, Margaret McConnell, 17, and Henrietta Hill, ’18, who wrote their respective class histories; Eleanor Cullen, who wrote the story cf the Sophomore debate and the banquet; Edwin Boone, who wrote the Junior roll in his own original manner; Edward Allen, as the Sophomore photographer; and Edwin Faber and Leslie Stevens, who contributed cartoons. To these and many others who have been of assistance in the preparation of this annual, we owe much, and this debt we acknowledge. The merchants and business men, who have advertised in this edition are the boosters of the city and the loyal supporters of the High School. As students, we should show our appreciation of their kindness and support by our patronage. For it should be remembered that it is through the advertisers that the High School’s yearly publication is made possible. Or in other words, “help yourself by helping others.” Read their advertisements and when trading, give them a portion of our 49 trade. In this way benefit ourselves, and at the same time manifest our appreciation of their aid, for which we are truly grateful. This year the Annual Board have endeavored to put out a good book and to extend the interest to the many classes. To do this we have given a large portion of the Annual to jokes. Everyone enjoys jokes, and especially when they concern persons and events, with which they are personally acquainted. Everthing that is written and pictured in this Annual is meant only in a spirit of good nature, and we hope that no ill-feeling will result from these innocent remarks. Much nterest was shown this year by the student body toward the story and poem contests. The stories were limited to two thousand words, and the poems were to contain not less than thirty-six lines. Besides the prizes of a High School pennant for the winner, and an Annual for second place in both the story and the poem contest, extra English grades were extended to all those taking part. The papers were graded on three points—subject matter, originality, and general outline, on a basis of twenty per cent and this added to the English grade. The judging was done by our English instructors, Misses Eaton, Allen and Ela, whom we wish to thank for their time and trouble in these contests. Several very good stories and poems were produced. There were seven entries in the story and six in the poem contest. The story, “Mammy’s G rammer.” written by Sara Marimon, ’17, was awarded first prize, and Frank McConnell, ’18, wen second with his story, “A Bounty on Wolves.” Of the entries in the poem contest, Mark Knight’s poem, “The Dreamer,” received first prize, the second being won by Margaret McConnell, ’17, with the poem, “A Degend of a Cross.” The Annual Board extends thanks to all students taking part in these contests. The School Board did not hire a coach for spring athletics, and as a result very little interest was shown by the boys in either track or baseball. This unexpected ac tion was regretted by the students and by all interested in athleics. Never before has the school held such excellent material for the track. We have men who have proven themselves efficient in the state meet at Boulder in previous years. With another year’s experience and correct training they would have won events and places that would have raised the standing of the school to the level of the best on the Eastern Slope. For this we have labored and every one desire, but without an efficient ecach or aid in any way it was im] ossible for such a work to be carried on by the students. Frank DuCray has accomplished much for the High School in athletics. He has proven that a clean, upright, and well-trained football or track team is an honor to the school. It was through his efforts of careful training and coaching that our fcotl all standard has been raised to the top, the leader of the Western Slope, and in the front rank with any on the eastern side of the range. As students we owe him much. 50 Reading—A Golden Gateway THE SUN, setting in gorgeous splendor beyond the broad expanse of the Pacific ocean, makes a scene of exquisite beauty, as its beams shine in through the Golden Gate. To the beholder on the deck of a steamer in San Francisco bay, the opening of the Golden Gate appears to be an entrance into enchanted fairyland. While the magic colors glow and blend and gradually fade away, they suggest visions of sunny seas and wonderful lands in the picturesque and storied Orient. Some people do not care for reading and neglect their opportunities for recreation and self-culture. Reading is, indeed, a golden gateway opening into a mystic land where shady forests slumber on purple mountain sides, where murmuring streams flow down into fertile valleys, where beautiful flowers bloom on every hand, and where birds of sweetest song flit from branch to branch among luxuriant foliage. Those who do not care for reading are like strange guests invited to a banquet. Just before taking their seats at a table laden with rich and attractive viands, they turn away from it, leave the banquet hall and unceremoniously go from their host into the cold and darkness of a winter's storm. To acquire the habit of reading is important for young people of High School age. Half an hour's judicious reading each day will impart a degree of information and culture rarely attained from the perusal of textbooks. The essential thing is, to form the habit of reading, which will be a valuable asset to a person's usefulness and happiness throughout his entire life. All reading of books, newspapers, and magazines may be reduced to two classes —reading which helps the individual, and reading which harms the individual. A wise choice of reading indicates the taste and shows the character of the person making the selection. Anyone who likes to read only sensational novels is making a grave mistake. The interesting novel of the highest type has a legitimate place in literature but it is narrowing to read novels solely. The field of literature abounds with history, biography, travel, and works of science and invention. None of these should be neglected by one whose growth is to be symmetrical and whose character is to be well rounded. A generation ago many boys and girls revelled in reading history. We regret that it is not so today. Seme histories read like romance. Prescott's Conquest of Mexico enlists the interest and holds the attention of the reader with a fascination equal to that of The Arabian Nights. The reading of history adds strength to the mental powers. The English poet expressed a great truth when he said, “the study of mankind is man. The study of history is broadening and elevating. It makes the student better able to meet the practical conditions of life. He learns the causes of success and failure, and is taught how to achieve the one and avoid the other. The world’s story of today as contained in current events is a valuable portion of history. Biographers introduce us to the inner life of noted men and women. As we read, we become their intimate friends. Their aspirations and their successes become a part of us; and, when we lay down a volume of biography at the close of the last chapter, we feel almost as if we had lost an acquaintance. The influence of reading a good biography often becomes a potent factor in our lives. Many of us never have a chance to enjoy extended travel; but when we read the books of these who have been abroad, we get the next best thing, enjoying the varied scenes and incidents of the writers and assimilating the most striking experiences and the most interesting bits of information as our own peculiar possessions. Today we are hardly posted if we do not, to some extent, keep pace with the 51 wonderful advancement in scientific inventions and discoveries. This information is net dry, but is intensely interesting. The Boy’s Life of Edison and the articles in the Scientific American and many other papers and magazines seem like fairly tales, truth often being more wonderful than fiction. The question of wliat to read and how much to read is a perplexing one to the High School graduate entering college or university. In order to do the best work in recitations, especially those involving research, the student must do much outside reading. He must not be confined to his textbooks. College and university work is on a broader plan than high school work. College libraries contain carefully selected knowledge which the student can use to assist him in theme-writing, in debates, and in general development. While the student should avail himself of these rare opportunities, he should also make it his practice to do much reading entirely separate from his college subjects. This will improve his standing both with professors and students, besides being a pleasure to himself and increasing his powers in conversation. The college or university student should be good in his recitation, but not a slave to his work. A few make the mistake of spending all their leisure time in reading. Of all mistakes which one may make in college this is perhaps one of the w’orst. A bookworm neglects healthful exercise and social functions to such an extent that lie becomes lop-sided and often loses out in life, because his manner is unnatural and he therefore fails to make friends. To all who wish to excell in style we recommend a careful study of the Bible as a work of literature. Daniel Webster used to say that he owed his eloquence to a study of the Book of Job. The style of the greater portion of the Bible is simple and clear. It is also varied in its beautiful expression. However, it contains great life lessons and grand truths which are the foundation stones for right living and noble acting. After leaving college, to a person who enjoys reading, it becomes a constant source of pleasure and improvement. Reading is a relaxation to the tired business man and the busy housewife. Sitting in a cozy room before the glowing embers, the reader wanders at will across the great sandy desert or through the tropical forests; he scales the snow-clad Alps and is soon enjoying the sunny vales and vine-clad hills of Italy. He encamps with the well-greaved Greeks outside the walls of classic Troy, and later on wanders in the Academic groves of Athens, listening to the philosophy of the great teacher, Socrates. Time and space disappear under the magic spell which reading casts around her votaries. “A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men.” We should not eliminate the humorous, the funny, and the grotesque from our reading. Mark Twain, Booth Tarkington, and Edgar Allan Poe, each has his place in literature. Tom Sawyer’s adventures, Penrod’s genuine boyish activity, and the horrors of The Black Cat produce a smile, a laugh, or a shudder which is beneficial to the human organism. The highest benefit and the deepest pleasure acquired by reading come from the fact that our lives are made better and nobler by reading the thoughts of good and noble men and women. By judiciously choosing our reading and by reading a little each day, we come in contact with master minds of the past and the present. Their thoughts become an influence in our lives, inspiring us to do the best we can, so that we shall not be content with mediocre results and shall, be satisfied only when we attain our highest possibilities. Thus, reading is a golden gateway through which the intelligent reader passes into an enchanted land bright and beautiful—a land with many storehouses filled with the world’s richest treasures. No watchdog is on duty. The traveller may help himself to untold wealth and no one shall say him “Nay.” J. HENRY ALLEN, Litt. D. 52 School Work a Business School work is a business within itself and only these who make it such can hope to win much distinction from the result of their school labor and cf the time and energy spent in the puisuit of knowledge. Moreover, it must be admitted by every sensible person that school work is cf such importance that it must command the attention and best effort of all who he'd their future standing and success in life of any significance or importance. A survey of the s hcol records from month to month shows a number of students who are failures because they lock upon school work as a matter of little importance. It will show also a number of students who realize the importance of school work, but have their interests divided so much between school work and the things which claim their attention outside of school, that they cannot make a success of either. Then we have a much larger number who have a vision of the future and who look upon school work as a training for seme goal to be attained twenty years lienee. To every student who reads this I would like to say you are lining up with one of these three groups. Gradually you will become a confirmed member of one of them. Which shall it be? We shall see. The critical period in every young person’s life is the few hours between the supper hour and bed time. Success in life, good school work, permanent health and happiness all depend upon the way in which these hours are spent. Spend these hours in a sensible manner and the reward which comes to you will be as great as could be desired. Spend them in a foolish and silly manner and the day will come when you will condemn yourself as an example of wrecked possibilities and neglected opportunities. Parents cannot be too careful in enforcing a rigid discipline over their children during these hours. Precept alone dees not hold the average boy or girl to correct living. In addition it takes the firm hand of a kind parent. A child commits his greatest crime when he begins to disappoint his parents and life loses its inspiration and grows wearisome and commonplace when the parents are made to feel that their fondest hopes concerning a promising offspring are coming to naught. May the pupils of the Grand Junction High School build for themselves reputations and abilities that will not fail them in their years of manhood and womanhood and thereby pave the way to the success and honor which is expected of them by the home, the school and the community.

Mother!” she cried, “just think we have been studying at school about hew to talk right, and I know just exactly how and I just thought how nice it would be to teach someone else all that I know. Don’t you think it would be nice, too, mother?” “Why, yes, indeed,” said her mother, “but, Elizabeth my dear, who are you going to teach?” “Oh,” replied Elizabeth, “that will be easy enough. I will start on Miranda. She just uses terrible language.” The next day Elizabeth began operations. She walked out on the kitchen porch where Miranda was busily engaged in wringing out clothes and stacking them in a basket, ready for the line. Miranda looked up with a pleasant grin on her face. “Howdy dare Miss ’Lizabetli, what yo’ been doin’ to yo’self all mornin’ long.” “How do you do, Miranda. I am very well, thank you,” Elizabeth primly replied. Miranda shot a quick glance at her. “Looky here ’Lizabetli, honey, dean you feel as good as you might?” “Why Miranda, I am just as well as I ever was,” Elizabeth replied. Miranda did not say anything more. She simply turned back to her washing mumbling something to herself. A silence followed, during which Elizabeth seated herself in a chair and tried to think of new means of attack. Suddenly Miranda forgot her troubles and began to sing lustily: “And here am to de health ob de next ole missus, and de gals dat wants to kiss us, Look away, Look away—” “Miranda, PLEASE do not make so many blunders in your English.” And after that outbreak she went through with the whole song correcting every single mistake. Miranda looked up with a bread grin, and said, “law chile you slio does know how to use yo grammatical vocabulory.” But if she hoped to impress Elizabeth by those last words she was disappointed for Elizabeth paid no heed, but turned and walked slowly back into the house. “Mother,” she said, “I really don’t see why Miranda does use such awful language. And she don’t seem to want to correct herself at all.” “Well, Elizabeth, you must remember that Miranda is a good deal older than you and it is harder for an old person to learn to talk correctly than a young one like you,” said her mother smiling, for she did not wish to discourage her daughter. Elizabeth walked slowly away. The next morning Elizabeth came into the kitchen where Miranda was cooking breakfast. “Morning honey, how dees ycu feel dis morning’? Yo ole mammy am a feeling like she would like to se ycu smile. For las’ night I ’lowed to Rastus dat I done think something’ was the mattah with mammy’s darlin ’cause she been so solemn lately; and Rastus he ’lowed yo schoolin’ was affectin’ you equiliberum.” After this somewhat lengthy greeting she stopped and surveyed Elizabeth anxiously, then—“Do you think it am honey?” “Why, no, Miranda,” said Elizabeth with a puzzled frown, “what do I do that makes you think that I am ill?” “Dare, now, honey, right dare, you ain’t nebber talked to yo ole mammy lak dat befo. You—you—,” here she stopped as if she didn’t know herself exactly what was the matter; “you used always to put more expression in you voice.” 58 “Well, Miranda, I am just learning how to use the English language correctly and I wish that you would too.” said Elizabeth, with a tinge of hopefulness in her voice. “Law, chile,” said Miranda lightly, “I done been talkin’ ever since I was nine months ole and I alwaz made myself undahstocd an 1 reckon I alwaz can.” Truly this was discouraging to one who had tried so hard to make herself benefactor. like the kind Godmothers in her fairy books. That noon at dinner Miranda ihought to please Elizabeth she would use her very best English. So when Elizabeth’s mother asked her if she had escalloped the potatoes, she beamingly answered: “Yes, mam, I done fixed dem splendilerous potatoes most computatiously.” Then she glanced at Elizabeth. But Elizabeth did not look up—she stared fixedly at her plate. Miranda was disappointed, but not in despair. All that afternoon she kept saying great long sentences full of still longer words. Oh how painstakingly Miranda had searched the dictionary for those very words the night before and how carefully had she learned to pronounce them. That night Miranda thought of, what she considered, a brilliant scheme. She would bring her youngest offspring, a little black pickaninny cf five years, and give him to Elizabeth to teach him English and manners and thus relieve herself from the work of searching the dictionary for words of sufficient length to please Elizabeth’s taste. Accordingly, the next morning Rastus, Jr., appeared on the scene. It was Saturday and Miranda knew that Clemintina Argentina, Rastus, Jr.’s older sister, would be only too glad to be relieved of her charge for one blissful day. Clemintina Argentina was seven and she dearly loved to play and mortally hated to have Rastus following her everywhere she went. And Miranda honestly thought it would be a great pleasure for Elizabeth, or she never would have dreamed of doing it. So Miranda presented Rastus to Elizabeth for the day, fcr the sole purpose of teaching him what she had desired to teach her. Miranda had learned her speech before hand and this was it: “Miss ’Lizabeth, honey, I done heard from many sources dat it am best to begin young and as I is ole I done brung you Rastus, who I am she will be a congenial, un—unos—unostentatious, observer ob de facts you place befo him.” Then she grinned broadly, relaxed her hold on Rastus’ hand and backed out of the room. Elizabeth was bewildered. What was she to do with Rastus, whom Miranda had so kindly provided. So she sought her mother and told her of the sudden appearance of Rastus. Her mother laughed, but almost instantly she grew grave. “Now, Elizabeth,” she said, “you started this and now all day you must take care of Rastus.” “But mother, I promised Janette that I would come over this morning and we are going to practice our duet, and Jack and Dorothy are coming in their new car this afternoon, to take me for a ride. Why, mother I just can’t have him to take care of all day.” But mother was firm, and plead, beg. and tease as much as she might her mother would not give in. So it was rather resentfully that Elizabeth led Rastus into the library and sat him down in one of the big chairs near the window and went in search of a book of some kind out of which she could teach Rastus. She had telephoned Janette and told her that she couldn’t come, and of course Janette had asked why and when she had told her—oh how Janette had laughed and then asked her “when she had gotten her certificate for teaching.” That had made Elizabeth very angry and she had slammed up the receiver almost in tears. She hadn’t told Jack and Dorothy yet that she could not go, for she was clinging to the vague hope that Clemintina Argentina might possibly come and want her little brother to come and play with her. 59 Finally, hidden far back behind the other books, Elizabeth found a primer, one that she had used, and brought it over to Rastus and began to teach him his letters. But Rastus was interested in other things. “Say, Miss ’Lizabeth, yo is awful smart ain't you? Ah know you is ’cause Mammy, she said yo was.” Evidently Rastus wasn’t any more anxious to learn than Elizabeth, at present, was to teach. A few minutes later he suggested that if it didn’t make any difference to her, he would like to go and play. But she wouldn’t let him, though she wished heartily that she could. But no, her mother had told her that she must teach him all morning. Miranda, in the meanwhile, was singing gaily in the kitchen, for a great burden had been lifted from her spirits. Ot noon she came and took Rastus to his dinner. “Tell Miss ’Lizabeth that you done had a nice time,” she instructed. This, Rastus did, and gladly, for he was going to his dinner and Was anxious to get away. Elizabeth hoped desperately that Miranda would not bring Rastus back after dinner, but in vain—Miranda brought him back. Elizabeth was nearly ready to cry, but she was forced to smile at Miranda’s beaming face, and take Rastus’ hand and lead him again to the library. And it was then that she went to the telephone nd called up Dorothy to tell her that she couldn’t go. Elizabeth had thought of taking Rastus along, but no, her mother would not let her. It is not a good teacher who takes her pupil for an automobile ride when she should be teaching them their lessons,” her mother had said, and that had settled it. All afternoon Elizabeth spent in endeavoring to teach Rastus, and at the close of the day he could say from A to F, and that was all. When supper time came Miranda took Rastus and at her bidding, he told Elizabeth again what a good time he had had. At the supper tble Elizabeth’s mother watched her closely, but Elizabeth didn’t say a word. She was wondering what she should tell Miranda so that no more Saturdays would have to be spent with Rastus. After supper she went into the kitchen and said: “Miranda.” Miranda turned quickly. “What do you want honey?” “Well,” said Elizabeth hesitatingly, “I just wondered if you didn’t think Rastus was too young to go to school?” and for fear Miranda would not agree with her she hurried on, “I do, and Miranda I won’t say another wlord about your grammar, if you will wait till Rastus is six and send him to the public school.” Miranda was all smiles at once. “Sho honey an’ it’s always been my intention to send him dare and I will sho be glad if you doan say nothin’ mo about my grammatical vocabulary, for yo ole Mammy’s eyes am giettin’ too weak to set up nights and search de dictionary for yo kind ob words.” A Bounty On Wolves SECOND PRIZE. Never, not even in the memory of the oldest inhabitant, had the winter been so severe. The snow came early in September and had continued to come until it lay piled many feet deep, in the gorges and canons of the mountains. The deep covering of snow made the prospect of forage, for cattle, mighty gloomy. Only high branches of shrubs were visible. The cattle of the K. Z. ranch, 60 belonging to old man Dawson had experienoed a hard winter. They were gaunt with hunger, and the bitter cold chilled them through the more readily. In their weakened condition, they fell more easily victims to thie ravaging wolves. It seemed as old man Dawson, himself, said, “never, since time began, had there been such a scarcity of food, for the cattle and such a plentitude of snow and wolves. Wolves can thrive on cattle and snow, but cattle, cannot exist on snow and wolves. So, in desperation, the cattlemen began gathering their cattle, in February, intending to drive them to one point, where hay could be obtained and thus save as many as possible from starvation and the wolves. In the matter of wolves, a large bounty had been offered. It was twenty-five dollars for every pelt. Joe Evans, a young boy just out of High School, with a longing for college, and a great lack of money, suddenly resolved, on reading about the offered bounty, to have a try at it. He at once made inquiries as to the details of the offered bounty. After a lengthy interview with old man Dawson, in which he obtained the necessary information in regards to the proposed trip, Joe hastened home to prepare for the trip. His outfit consisted of a dozen huge steel traps, a 30-30 Savage rifle, an abundance of ammunition, a hunting knife, and a supply of food. To his wardrobe he added heavy boots, a hunting suit, warm fur cap and mittens. These things were expensive, but Joe, with Dawson to back him, had no trouble in getting them. He promised to pay, when he should have earned the money. But Dawson had taken a liking to the boy, and was also anxious to get some one after the wolves, so he told Joe, if he would stay on the job three monthss, he would pay all Joe’s expenses, so whatever pelts Joe might secure would bo clear gain to him. This, indeed, looked good to Joe. Stay three months? Sure, he would! Dawson advised Joe to make his headquarters at a certain isolated cabin, known only to a few of the cattlemen. An outfit was in town getting supplies for the K. Z. bunch, so Dawson gave orders for them to take Joe and his outfit to this cabin. They reached the cabin, after four days of hard traveling. They spent the night with Joe, and, unloading his stuff, pulled out early the next morning. So Joe was left alone in this wilderness of snow and wolves. He spent several hours in arranging his belongings in his new home. The cabin had an old stove and a rude bunk, made of poles, and a table of the same construction. Joe was anxious to set his traps, so left about noon to begin his work. He made a wide circle from the cabin, marking a few trees so as to guide him on his return trip. He was a tenderfoot and he knew it. He meant to go safely, becuase he must depend upon himself. There were miles and miles of white drifts, between him and help. It was after dark when he made his way back to the cabin. He began his preparations for the night and supper at once. The meal over, he cleared away his dishes. He decided he would never leave his supper dishes because he would always want an early start. The evening passed slowly. He wished he had a dog. He was sorry he had not thought to bring one. Well, it was too late to get one now. After a long evening in fixing and planning, Joe finally turned in. Scarcely had he done so, so it seemed to him, when the loud alarm of his Big Ben aroused him. He ate a hearty breakfast, to fortify himself against the intensity of the cold. He prepared a small lunch, to take along, in case he should not return as soon as he expected. When it was good daylight, Joe left the cabin carrying his rifle and hunting knife, his lunch and supply of matches. His attempts on snow shoes had been very poor, so he decided to trust to the frozen crust, until such time as he could handle them better. He started out merrily. This was very exciting. At every trap he hoped to find a wolf, a bear, or a lion. But he visited each of his traps, and found nothing. Rather crestfallen, he returned to his cabin. “Well, he said to himself, “I won’t become a second Creosus at this rate. I sure am glad that the old man agreed 61 to feet the hills, fer all this junk. I’ll just have to stay here three months to square up the account. He visited his traps each morning: for a week, with no better results. He had practiced on the snowshoes, meanwhile, and now could manage them beautifully, so he told himself. Discouraged by his lack of success, he decided to go farther away with his string cf traps. He could cover so much more ground now, that he had learned to use his snowshoes. The task of placing a dozen traps was no small one. So Joe made his preparations before leaving; he carried, food, matches, a blanket, his gun and belt of cartridges, besides his traps and bait. The start was made very early, for the longest day in the high mountain regions is short enough, even in February. He judged he had gone about ten or fifteen miles from his cabin, when he came upon the remains of a freshly killed cow. All around were signs of bloody meele, which had been held by the wolves. This excitement was great. Here was the place for his traps. So he began setting them, spreading thiem out for several miles. He had some trouble with one cf his snowshoes, which delayed him and it was getting along towards sundown before he had finished his work. He was cold and tired and hungry. He had fifteen to twenty miles before him, over snow fields, vast and vacant, before he could find rest, food, and comfort. He lost no time in starting out, but had gone only a mile or so when the snowshoes again began to wobble. Finding the string that bound it on was broken, he saw it was necessary to remove the shoe and replace the broken string with one from his pocket. It took some time to fix the troublesome shoe, and Joe was horrified to find the sun had sunk beyond the horizon. In the mountains there is but a short time between sundown and darkness. He sped on swiftly, but, in his heart, he knew it was cut cf the question to reach his cabin before dark, and equally so, to travel after dark. He must find a sheltering cliff and build a fire and wait until the moon rose. Then, he might succeed in reaching his cabin. He began looking for a friendly shelter and was not long in finding one that he thought would do. The shelter was on the side of a craggy cliff, and was protected on the north and east by huge boulders, and overhead a projecting rock gave a sort of shelter. It was an easy job to build a fire, as the undergrowth was dry, being sheltered by the rocks. Eating his lunch and feeling drowsy from the warmth of the fire, he dropped off to sleep. He must have slept som hours, for when he awoke he was surprised to gee how high the moon was. The fire was low. Feeling cold and stiff, he was just about to build up his fire, when he heard a loud noise. He listened. Yes, it was wolves and he could hear the bellowing of a cow. Running to the edge of the cliff he saw at the bottom of the ravine, a pack of wolves. Their dark shapes showed plainly in the moonlight against the whiteness of the snow. In their midst was a cow with a young calf, which she was trying to protect. The sight thrilled him. He saw the hungry pack circle arcund and around, again and again. Then, a more daring wolf would lunge in at the cow. But she would strike out with her horns and plunge amongst the pack. The frightened calf would bleat faintly and manage to keep close to its mother’s protecting horns. Above it all was heard the loud yelping and snapping of the snarling wolves, the bellowing of the cow and the bleating of the calf. Joe hesitated before taking a hand. Here he was alone, miles and miles from anyone. It was midnight, or thereabouts, the thermometer was far below zero. Before him was a dangerous pack of blood-thirsty wolves, which would devour him if he came within their power. He must think. He wanted those wolves worse than anything he ever remembered having wanted in his life before. He had been after wolves for ten days and had not one pelt to show for all his long tramps, exposure to the cold and the loneliness he had endured. But here was surely a chance. If he had good luck, he ought to get several. But what should be his first move? Suddenly, he 62 resolved to cress at the upper end of the ravine in which the animals were, thus gaining a closer position on the other side. This he did, and was overjoyed to find a tall, friendly pine tree, standing in easy shooting distance from the wolves. Creeping cautiously along he gained the tree unnoticed by the hungry pack. Quickly climbing the tree, until he reached a point of safety, he waited an opportunity to open fire on the wolves. Of course, in shooting, there was danger of killing the cow or calf and perhaps both. But they were in great danger of death, anyhow. He must trust to luck to get the wolves and save the cow and calf. The din of the ferocious brutes and the bellowing of the cow and the bleating of the calf was more hideous in this closer position. He watched the combat. They circled and circled, again and again, and each time brought them a little nearer to him. The cow, with natural instinct, was working for the lower end of the gulch, where space would give her a runing chance, while the wolves, with brutal scheming, seemed bent on corraling her in the upper end of the gulch and so finally overpower her. She fought like a mad thing. That her horns went home more than once wag evident by the yell of pain from the unfortunate wolf. At last, the fighting mass was within good shooting distance of Joe. He decided to let them have it. So, taking careful aim at the nearest wolf, he fired. As the echoes of the gun died away, only the bellowing of the frightened cow could be heard, for an instant. Then an awful tumult arose! The gun had brought blood. The terror of the brutes was overcome by their thirst for blood, so they fell upon the wounded wolf and tore him to pieces, fighting, yelping and snarling all the while. This gave the cow a chance. She moved off rapidly. Here Joe saw his chance, so he emptied his magazine on them. When the smoke had cleared away he could see only a mass of black upon the snow. And limping slowly off, in the same direction, taken by the cow and calf, were two black objects. Joe secured cartridges from his belt, and re-loading his gun, fired after them. One fell and the other disappeared over a ridge. All was quiet. There was a bitter cold, stinging breeze which had sprung up, as it often does, just before daybreak. It was with much difficulty that Joe managed to get down from the tree, on account of his stiffened muscles. He was very anxious to see how many wolves he had killed, so loading his gun he hastened over to the dark objects. Well he knew other prowling night animals would soon be on the scene, attracted by the smell of blood, so, with his senses all alert, and his rifle ready for instant action, he advanced cautiously. He was greatly pleased to find four dead wolves and scraps of the fifth. On reaching his cabin, a little after noon, he found Dawson there. It seems he had become a little anxious about, the boy he had sent out to hunt wolves in such “a lonesome, God-forsaken land,” as he expressed it. Having an opportunity to come with an outfit which was passing near, he had taken it. When he had listened to Joe’s tale of the night’s adventures, he slapped him on the back and said: “Of such stuff are heroes made. Joe you are plum plucky. Six skins—that means an hundred and fifty dollars, plus the price of the fur. Say, don’t you want to buy out my cattle ranch?” Joe laughed at the old man and declared that it tcok him ten days to get it, so it was not so much after all. Joe remained at the cabin his three months and succeeded in getting twenty-nine wolves, many foxes, and had the thrill of seeing a number of tracks of bears, but no bears. Joe had earned enough to see him through tw’o years of college and had won the approval and confidence of Dawson. This was an important item, because he agreed to advance the necessary funds for the remaining years. So Joe went to college and became a famous star on a football team. 63 The Dreamer FIRST PRIZE. His hands were hard and heavy, But out at toil each day He heard in dreams the melodi.es His fingers could not play. His voice was harsh and rasping. His pen knew no device; And yet he dreamed the words and songs And scenes of Paradise. But sadness came upon him,— He thought he dreamed in vain; And he grew old and fell asleep. And never woke again. But a spirit beckoned to him. And whispered in his ear, “I hold a happy land for you. And you shall enter here.” And there were woods and meadows. And lakes and streams agleam; And mellow light, and singing birds, And verdure of a dream. And there he sang enraptured, And played with supple hands; And all the long-loved songs of life Came forth at his commands. And skill was his to picture, To paint the things he saw; In all the arts of sight and sound His every wish was law. Incredulous at last he turned And asked his noble guide, “Is this a dream?” The spirit smiled With love, and thus replied: “The beauty that you groped for, Though Fate had made you numb,— The things you longed to tell of, And found that you were dumb,— “The truth and love you dreamed of, And often woke in pain,— The good of all your visions, Which waking made in vain,— “Are here in this, your Dreamland, Where you at last in ease May rest from life and sleep alway To dream such dreams as these.” 64 O. A. MATTHEWS. The Legend of a Cross SECOND PRIZE. Oil, the years and years, wore many. In this valley cf the Grand, When the Indian held dominion. Ere, the white man claimed the land. On Grand Mesa’s bread expanse A savage tribe did dwell. Of these Indians and their captive, There is a legend I would tell. ’Mongst the earliest settlers, A man, unknown to fame, Searching for a new location. Hoping fabulcus wealth to gain. With his wife and little children, To this country, wild, he came. By the Indians were discovered, And the immigrants were slain. With the white man ever crowding On the land, so long his own, There seems small cause to wonder That the Indian’s heart was stone. ’Midst the burning wreckage. And the dreadful din and smoke From deep and heavy slumbers, A little child awoke. Eyes of blue, and flaxen tresses. And her skin like priceless pearl; Her beauty won the chieftain, lie, to his wigwam, took the girl. And the chieftain, old and childless, In his wigwam much alone, Said to all his warriors, “This child shall be my own.” Many years she dwelt among them, As the chieftain’s daughter known; Bluebell, was the name he gave her, And he loved her as his own. When the Autumn winds were sighing, Through the evergreens and pines, And the harvest moon was shining. Then came Old Father Time. 65 To garner in His harvest; In the morning Bluebell found The stern and aged chieftain had Gone to the Happy Hunting Ground. Many days, these savage Redskins, Mourned they, for their chieftain, dead. Then, a fierce and brave young warrior They acknowledged chief, instead. Never bloom’d a blossom fairer, Than the dainty, blue-ed Bell! And, while lived the aged chieftain, Never harm to her, befell. Gone, the chieftain, her protector, “Is there none to shield?” she cried, As the fierce and hated chieftain Claimed her for his bride. Fair and lovely, was the maiden In her anger, and her pride, As she told the savage chieftain She would not be his bride! Humbled thus, the warrior chieftain Before his band so brave Said he, in his mighty passion, “If not the wigwam; then the grave.” Then this pure and gentle maiden, With cruel thongs, they bound. To a tall and lonely pine tree, On which a cross they formed. Thus, in bonds so cruel. They kept the maid all night, Then, beneath a bonfire lighted. Thus, her spirit took its flight. The mccn beams shone but dimly, The pitying stars locked on. The breezes gently murmured. The night bird’s mournful song. When the flames had spent their fury. And darkness hid the scene, Behold! upon the mountain wall, A holy cross was seen! Long, long years have come and vanished, No more the savage Redskins roam, Yet, undimmed by passing ages, Shines forth that cross in stone. M. C. M. 66 67 69 • Skating Rink In the midst of the cold, dreary winter, the entertainment waxed low. It was decided 1 y Prof. Tcpe and the Social committee that the Auditorium skating1 rink should he secured for every Friday night for eight weeks. Though every week very good times were enjoyed, all voted the last night the best of all. It was a hard times party and the costumes were very good. On the whole, the mid-winter entertainment was a great success. Over 150 students attended regularly. THE JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY. The Junior class entertained the Seniors at a miscellaneous costume party at the Margery hall, February 26. The teachers were dressed as little girls and looked very cunning with their hair in braids. During the first part of the evening a very interesting program was enjoyed. Later in the evening a delightful lunch was served in the banquet room. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing and games. At a late hour the party broke up and the Seniors considered this as one of the most successful social affairs of the year. THE SENIOR-JUNIOR PARTY. The Seniors entertained the Juniors at an enjoyable party May 23, at the Margery hall. An interesting program was given in the early part of the evening, after which refreshments were served. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing and games. DELTA EXCURSION. The annual football excursion to Delta was on Saturday, November 14. About one hundred twenty-five tickets were sold and a merry crowd assembled at the depot at 8 o’clock. While on the train, invitations for a reception to be given that evening in the Elk’s hall at Delta, were given out. The train left Delta at 9 o’clock, much to the dismay of the dancers, and arrived at Grand Junction at a very late hour. 70 JUNIOR SENIOR BANQUET. After the Commencement exercises on June 4, 1914, the Juniors and Seniors, with Prof. Kelly and the High School faculty went to Sawyer’s, where a delightful banquet was served. The following toasts were given with William Wilson acting as toastmaster: Seniors________________________________________________Muriel Coles Response_______________________________________________Robert Rhone The Ladies______________________________________________Audre Stong Response____________________________________Ruth Marie Smith Faculty_______________________________________________William Rhone Response_________________________________________________Miss Schoder Our Honored Guest_______________________________________Glenn Cheedle Response_________________________________Prof. James H. Kelly BACCALAUREATE SERMON The week beginning June 6, was a very busy one for the Seniors. On Sunday night the Baccalaureate sermon was held at the Congregational church. Rev. Hezlep, who had been chosen to preach the sermon, gave a very interesting talk. On Tuesday, June 8, the class play was given at the Auditorium. It was very successful and much credit is due Miss Bindley, the instructor. The play, Fanchon, the Cricket,” was chosen by the Senior committee and is very popular among the schools and colleges of this country. The Commencement exercises were held in the Auditorium on June 10. Mildred Hammond, the valedictorian, spoke first, followed by our salutatorian, Era Dieffenbach. After music by the class quartett the address of the evening by Dr. G. R. Warner, was given. Forty-eight graduates received diplomas. Following the class song the Rev. Hezlep pronounced the benediction. CLASS PLAY. The class play, selected for presentation by the Senior class this year, is “Fanchon, the Cricket.” A domestic drama in five acts, from a tale of the French peasantry, by George Land. The cast was selected by Miss Lindley, who is drilling the players. It is as follows: Fanchon------------------------------------------------Mary Martin Father Bar beau, a rich farmer__________________________Ben Wright Didier ) , ( Will Wilson Landry f Twin brothers----------------------------- { Alvin Wold Etienne_________________________________________Harold F.

In his search for him he goes to Fadet’s house and inquires of her for his brother. She tells him to go and look in the river. As he turns to go, Fanchon comes out and reminds him of a promise he made to her a year ago, after she had saved him from drowning. It was, that Landry would give Fanchon any pleasure which she wanted if it was in his power. F'anchon, dressed in an antiquated frock, comes to the festival of St. Andoche the following evening and, on the strength of his premise to her, asks him for seven dances. Landry, in order to keep his conscience free, is forced to comply. In so doing he “jilts ’ Madelon, his employer’s daughter. The peasants pick upon Fanchon for a sight of the devil’s claw or witches alphabet. It turns out to be a prayer. This opens Landry’s eyes to what Fanchon really is. As he gees to La Priche, his working place, he and Fanchon both having left the festival, one soon after the other, he meets Fanchon and talks with her. During the talk he finds out the true nature of the girl and also finds that he loves her. Fanchon attempts to reconcile Madelon to Landry, but Madelon resists all her efforts. Landry’s father makes arrangements with Madelon’s for the betrothal of the two. Landry is not slow in declaring his love for Fanchon, and his dislike for Madelon. Landry’s father wishes Fanchon to leave town, but Fanchon, before Father Barbeau sees her, decides that it is best for her to go. Before she leaves for the city, Landry obtains a promise from her that she will have no other lover, but him. Landry, of course, says that she will be his belle to his dying day. As a token of her promise she gives him the medallion from around, her neck. This is the only thing that she has, which was her mother’s and she values it above her life. She leaves for a year. A few weeks before the year is up she comes home to nurse her dying grandmother. Fadet dies. During this time Landry has been constantly trying to see Fanchon. Fanchon, not being of age, must have a guardian. The minister of the village advises her to get Father Barbeau. He has recently written to the city and found that Fanchon’s behavior was very geed and that nothing (ould be said against her. Father Barbeau willingly gives his consent to be her guardian and also removes all objections he may have against her as his daughter-in-law. 73 Debating THIRTEENTH ANNUAL SOPHOMORE DEBATE. The annua! Sophomore debate will be given cn May 7, by six of the best debaters in the class. This one literary event of the Sophomore year is anxiously looked forward to and enjoyed by all. The question, “Resolved, That the Modern World Has Received a Richer Inheritance From Greece Than From Rome,” will be ably handled by Edward Allen, Selma Sampliner, and Lawrence Littlejohn, on the affirmative, and Emmett Quinn, Elizabeth Moulton, and Frank Kennedy, on the negative. Elma Armstrong and Fayne Key will act as alternates. Roth sides cf this question have been so thoroughly prepared that it will be no easy task for the judges to render a decision. Wesley Murray, president of the class, acts as chairman, and the following program will be given in connection with the debate: Piano solo__________________________ ________Eleanor Cullen Reading________________________________________________Rosa Marimon Piano solo---------------------------------Ruth Hardenburg Piano solo-----------------------------------------Margaret Purcell 74 Music THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA. For the past two years, the High School has been without an orchestra. This was probably due more to the lack of a leader and ambitious students that were willing to give their time and efforts to such an organization, than the want of musical talent in the High School. The school is always proud of its orchestra, for perhaps there is nothing that gives more pleasure and entertainment to the student life, than good music. To accomplish this end, a meeting of those musically inclined was called January 22, 1915, and an orchestra of six pieces was organized. Audrc Stong was chosen leader and soon regular practice began in earnest. Although their first efforts were somewhat comical, they soon produced excellent music. As a result the orchestra was a success, both in and out of school, for it was not long until they had more dates than was possiblle for them to fill. They furnished the musical part of the program for the minstrel show, the glee clubs, and for the Senior class play. Many thanks and praises are due the members of the orchestra for their work and time spent in behalf of the school. A few of its members graduate this year, but there is still plenty of talent in the other classes to continue the organization next year in a manner that will be a credit to the High School and city. GLEE CLUB. During the past term of school the High School Glee club reached the highest standard that had been set in previous years. Much of this success we owe to our leader and instructor, Miss Moulton. She received able support from other members of the faculty. The Glee club furnished some splendid music for the teachers’ convention. This was much enjoyed by all. The greatest effort of the Glee club was put forth in giving the minstrel at the High School and was repeated. This entertainment drew full houses and was greatly appreciated. The Glee club received the hearty support of both teachers and pupils throughout the entire year. 75 OUR FOOTBALL COACH. To Mr. DuCray, who, as coach, has shown such an interest in the football team, too much credit cannc-t be given. Hie has had charge cf the team for the past three years, and each team has been stronger than the team the year previous. All three teams have been champions. The athletic spirit of the school has been greatly increased since Mr. DuCray has been connected with the High School. The rigid example he himself set in training, has proven a great incentive to the boys to cut out many objectionable habits. Under his careful direction, High School boys, who, when the season opened, were considered green, have been stars on the gridiron at the closing game. Mr. DuCray’s work cannot be too fully appreciated by the student body. It is hoped that his services may be secured for the coming year. 77 Athletic Association WHEN athletics were first introduced into the Grand Junction High School, an association was organized to govern them. Although this organization has not been supported by the High School students of the past as well as it might have been, no complaint can be justly made about the loyalty of the students this year. Under the supervision of Professor Tope and Professor Dodds, the association has just finished one of its most successful years, having paid over sixty dollars on the old debt, and being represented in every branch of athletics. There were more students that gave their support as members than in previous years. A few brief rulings governing the students in athletics. To participate in any branch of athletics, the student, either boy or girl must belong to the association, a small fee being charged them. In order to play in any of the games, a member of the association must have at least, an average of seventy-five per cent in all subjects every month. A member of the association, in taking any part in athletics must abide by the rulings and orders set by the coach or be subject to suspension or expulsion. WEARING LETTERS. In order to win the High School letters in football the student must play at least four full quarters in four different games played with other High Schools. In basketball the student must play at least two full halves in two different games.

When school opened last September, only six veterans appeared on the gridiron for practice, with about twenty-five green men. But uncier the able direction of Coach DuCray and Captain Peck, the Tigers finished the season not only Western Slope champions, but also champions of the state. The School Board, appreciating the value of a coach, engaged the services of Mr. DuCray. He laid down rules that were strict, yet every man on the squad, with one or two exceptions, conformed to them. It was this consistent training along with the many bumps and blows received in practice for the three months that put the Tigers in such good condition to play their opponents. Being in the best of shape, the Tigers were like a cyclone, and were always playing better, harder, and faster ball at the close of the game than at the start. After two weeks of hard practice the team started the best season the High School has ever known by defeating the Glen wood team on their ground. The next few games were won easily, Fruita, Glenwood, and Paonia being the victims. The Tigers proclaimed themselves champions of the Western Slope. Delta, Junction’s oldest rival, having won all games in that district, claimed the championship also. A challenge was sent them and after some difficulty a game was arranged to be played on their field. A large excursion of enthusiasts went up with the team, all believing the Tigers would be victorious. Delta’s team outweighed the Tigers twenty pounds to the man, but this did not daunt the coming champs. After the hardest-fought game ever held on Delta’s field, the Tigers were the victors, thus holding the championship of the Western Slope. Gunnison Normal came to Grand Junction on Thanksgiving day and left the next morning after taking the worst defeat they had ever experienced. South Denver held the championship on the Eastern Slope. They were challenged to a game, but they refused to ploy. The Tigers “glommed” the state championship. No team was met that could stand up against the rapid hammering of the Tiger backfield men and the shifting of the line men. In all the games except ono, the first team would sweep their opponents off their feet, then Coach DuCray, desirous of giving all the men a chance to play, would put in second and third team men. It was then the opponents made their few score. The Tigers cs a whole played so well, each holding up his own particular position, it would be a difficult task to pick any one player as the star. Rhone’s line smashes, Mace’s wide end runs, Knight’s punting, and Murray’s cros-bucks were all needed in making up the winning team. Johnson and Peck at the end’s positions were exceptionally good on the defensive. Wilson and Rankin at the guards handled men that outweighed them in all cases. There were those on the squad other than the team that deserve mention. Voils, Kennedy and Thomas will be needed in making up the backfield next year. Allen, Peterson, and Littlejohn will be a valuable asset to the line. Nine men graduate this year, yet we feel that under the coaching of Mr. DuCray, the team will be victorious. At the football banquet held shortly after Thanksgiving, Harry Hill, star tackle, was elected to lead the next year team. Here’s to Hill and his men, may they have greater success than the preceding teams. THE SCHEDULE. Glenwood, 0; Grand Junction, 13. Delta, 0; Grand Junction, 6. Glenwood, 6; Grand Junction, 31.

Scare 6 0 fan 83 84 Girl’s Basketball Owing to the fact that there were over twenty-eight girls out for basketball practice, it was difficult to get a championship team, and at the same time give each girl an opportunity to try for the team and get sufficient amount of practice each day. The situation was indeed a hard one to handle and the only solution that we had for the problem was to select twelve to fourteen girls who would continually practice together, as it is team work that makes a winning team, and we had a winning team at the end of the season, after we had made the change. It is to be regretted that the season had to end too rccn. In order to have a good team, we had to sacrifice our other players and deprive them of the practice and the experience; so we will have to face tko same problem next year and begin with inexperienced players. Basketball is intended for all who desire to play and it should benefit as many as possible. I hope that it may never occur again to have to compel girls to stop playing, just for the sake of a winning team. A team is judged according to its ability to work harmoniously together, and run as near like a machine as possible. A player on such a team must be unselfish, accurate, quick; must use head work and be able to co-operate with others. From this point of view I will endeavor to judge the members of the team who played the last three games. Aline Drury, jumping center. There was no girl on the team, who became so proficient in the new use of the bounce as Aline and by this use she was instrumental in bringing the ball to our territory innumerable times. Although not as tall as her opponents she was many timjes able to bat the ball our way. Her team work with the other center, guards, and forwards, was of the best. Lillian Smith, running center. Lillian proved to be one of the fastest and one of the most consistent players that Wo have ever had. She could always be depended upon to do her share and usually more than her share of the work; her team work was of the highest class and she outplayed all of her opponents. The two centers will be greatly missed next year. Lucille Scott Salil and Ruth Pearce, guards. These two girls must be classed together, for they showed up the strongest of any guards, outplaying all other guards of our opponents. Their excellent team work, quickness, lieadwork and consistent playing kept our opponents from making high scores. No two players could be expected to play better together. Nellie Haynes and Muriel Coles, forwards. These two we will also class together, as their ability to jointly score for us, presents us from giving either one more credit than the other. Both did excellent work in making baskets, although Nellie must be given the credit cf making the most points, and Muriel for excellent work in advancing the ball towards the basket and giving Nellie the chance to score. They showed fine team work and ability to get away from their guards. Their places on the team for next year will be hard to fill. Helen Seegmiller, Avis Munson and Marjorie Fletcher, substitutes. These girls did good work whenever called upon and great credit should be given them for their unselfish interest in the team. They were always willing to help and willing to give a better player their place. These three players are expected to be stars next year. The girls played a fast game and they played together like smoothly running machinery, in which the individual prominence was hidden in the success of the team as a whole. VICTORIA WILHELMY, Coach. S6 Interest in basketball has been increasing for the past four years. At a meeting of the High School boys early in January, Mr. Dodds, a member of the faculty, was chosen as coach and manager of the team. Wesley Murray was elected captain. When the first practice was called four full teams reported and the work began in earnest. Because of the lateness in beginning practice the interclass games were not held, much to the regret of the student body of the school. A city league was formed and after several fast games the Tigers held first place. Delta was brought here and in a fast and hard game was defeated to the tune of 33 to 37. The first team was difficult to choose because, of the many men on the floor. Finally the following were selected: Hill and Stong forwards; Murray, center; Knight and Johnson, guards. Murray—Center. Knight and Johnson—Guards. Bucklin, Craun, M. Knight, and H. Johnson are worthy of mention. 87 S8 'V Spring Athletics TRACK, 1914. I ast year’s track team was the best the High School ever had. Mr. DuCray was engaged to coach the team and put them through to the front. After winning all the meets they were entered in, on the Western Slope, five of the best Tigers were taken to Boulder by Coach DuCray, and entered in the state meet there. Fifty-two schools participated. Murray took first place in the half mile run; R. Rhone second place in the 440-yard dash; Craun, second place in the mile run, and the relay team, Sills, Peck, Murray, and Rhone, took third honors. The team came home having taken fourth place in the meet, outclassed only by Colorado Springs, Greeley, and South Denver. BASEBALL, 1914. The Tigers, in baseball last year were champions in the league in which they wrere entered. Under the captaincy of Hill and the coaching of Mr. DuCray the men were in fine condition and lost only one game during the entire season. Fruita was the first team played and although we were crippled by the loss of four infield men, at the close of the tenth inning, the score stood only 8 to 7 in Fruita’s favor. Palisade was next on Junction’s field. After an elevn-inning game the score was 1 to 0 in the Tigers’ favor. Frultvnle was played the following Saturday and were so badly beaten the score looks untrue. The Y. M. C. A. team was defeated twice in succession. Palisade had won all their games except with the Junction. The Tigers had lost but one game. The last game wras played on Palisade’s diamond, the winner being champions. After a number of ‘bonchead” plays in the first inning, the Tigers settled dowrn and played real baseball, taking the game. Sccre, 3 to 7. The team wras unusually lined up: Palmer, c; Maliannah, p; Franks, lb; Wold, 2b; Mace, 3b; Wilson, ss; Rhone, Thomas, and Knight, played the outfield. TENNIS, 1914. Interest was shown in tennis last year to such an extent that the school board gave orders for three courts. This accomplished, a club of about thirty girls was organized. This being the first year at the sport, the girls felt hardly confident enough to enter a tournament. But at the end of the school term quite a fewr wrere “sharks,” at the game. It is hoped that the court will be re-organized and a tournament held. TRACK RECORDS. 100-yard dash, R. Rhone, ’14—10 2-5 seconds. 220-yard dash, Terrill, ’10—23 1-5 seconds. 4 40-yard dash, R.

He had a terrife squint, and a mouth like a steam roller. All the same, he reckoned on making something of a hit at the fancy dress ball, and his costume was as elegant as his figure was unlovely. With fast-beating heart he stepped jauntily from his automobile outside the town hall, where the ball was being held. The hall porter stepped backward at the unsightly apparition. “Great Christopher Columbus!” gasped as he regarded Gussie. “No, no, my gcod man!” chirped Gussie, as he tripped through the portals. “Ghawlcs the First, my dear fellow, Chawles the First.” Chris is an oratin’ Dickens.

Arthur: “Did you do anything much this spring vacation?” Ham: “Oh, nothing to speak of.” Arthur: “Anything not to speak of?” Tramp to Housewife: “I’ll tell yuh, lady, I’m of noble birth. Me mother was the daughter of a Spanish grandee and me father was part duke.” A HORSE FOR A’ THAT. “Well,’’ reluctantly admitted the hard-pressed Yorkshire horse dealer in the witness box, “I’ll admit the animal was blind o’ one eye, an’ I won’t deny he’d springhalt in his off hind leg, an' I’m not saying—seeing the two vets has sworn to it—that he wasn’t spavined, an’ I’d a sort of suspicion myself that he was a roarer: but he was a g-r-r-rand boss!” If you feel down in the mouth, cheer up.

A little lad was asked by a pious passer-by one lowly Sunday mornin: “Have you ever studied the Bible?’ “Yes, sir,” said he. “Then, of course, you know all about the parables?’ “Oh, yes, sir.” “Good!” said the devout gentleman. “And now tell me which parable do you like the best?” The boy, looking over the green and pleasant country, answered: “I like the one where everybody loafs and fishes.” A TRAGEDY IN ONE ACT. (Enter Oly and Gretehen.) Gretohen: “If an egg were found on a music stool, what poem would it remind you of?” Oly: “Give up.” Gretehen: “The Lay of the Last Minstrel.” Oly: “God save the king!” (Flourish of trumpets.)

TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY. Mr. Clarence Veatch of Clifton went calling on Miss Lecra Carnine, last Sunday afternoon. He intended to make the call and then, perhaps, take her for a little ride through the beautiful sunshine. Several of her girl friends being present, the visit was called off and the buggy ride postponed indefinitely, due to heart failure on Mr. Veatch’s part. Again it is demonstrated, “absolute safety in numbers.” Glen: “Darling, did you put the mistletoe there for me and me alone?” Era: “Yes, Glenny, none of the other fel- lows need it.” Don’t Forget to Order Longshore’s Ice Cream, Sherbets and Ices Longshore Bros. 216 South Seventh Phone Hickory 51 105 u � J| C J u 1 1 1 A 1 u ASr R u LA) 111111 ■ MAKES THE BEST IZED P1P5B FOR FLUMIHG GRAND JUNCTION, COLO.

ABOUT TIME. “Maud!” Father’s voice rolled down the stairs and into the dim and silent parlor. “Yes, papa dear?” “Ask that young man if he has the time.” A moment of silence. “Yes, Fred has his watch with him.” “Then ask him what is the time.” “He says it is 11:45, papa.” “Then ask him if he doesn’t think it about bedtime! ” Another moment of silence. “He says, papa,” the silvery voice announced, impersonally, “he says that he'rarely goes to bed before one, but it seems to him that it is a matter of personal preference, merely, and that if he were in your place, he would go now if he felt sleepy.” USE DR.

As we bid farewell to our High School life we look back over the school days with a mixed feeling of sorrow and gladness. “We often thought of the joy of leaving school as a happy end, but now that graduating time is here and wje are to enter more difficult tasks of life, we feel that our school days have been as a long vacation that has suddenly come to an end.” We go forth, after leaving school, never more to enjoy life without its cares, which crowd around US. To the succeeding classes we bid farewell and wish them success, both as a class, and in the advancement of the honor of the school, which we all reverence and respect. As a class we have reached the goal for which we have been struggling and now we leave, each taking his separate path. Let us make the best of it; and do what little we can, as we enter into the dark, uncertain future. See Us First For Fishing Tackle FURNITURE COMPANY.
