We were the largest as well as the youngest class to leave the Eighth grade. We entered the Freshman class full of enthusiasm and energy, which, controlled and directed by Professor Hlrons. whom we all loved and honored. made the first year of High School, with all its hard work, one of Joy and pleasant recollections. Under his able leadership we gave a debate, had our literary society and other class entertainments. Finishing this first part of the race we rested for some weeks and then started on our next nine months’ grind. The hills were now steeper to climb; nevertheless, at the close of the term we were all there and had not been obliged to send back for even one wagon to bring in the lost ? ones. Under the direction of Miss Lewis we gave the annual debate, followed by a banquet, which made the Juniors and Seniors as green as th« Freshman with envy, because it was so successfully managed. EMMET A. QUINN, Class President Another short period for vacation and again we entered the race to find that the running required a little extra effort, especially as for several months we were obliged to get up at five a. m. and start school work at seven, many times with the lights on. Those living a great distance away used lanterns' that they might reach school safely, for it is said that it is darkest Just before the dawn. Extra effort, too. was required by the boys when they placed their glorious pennant on the flag pole. Brave, loyal SELMA SAMPLINER, Class Sec’y Juniors! It waved there one whole day!. During this nine months there were several society events of note. A costume party at the High School given to the Seniors by the Juniors, which compliment the Seniors returned with a theater party at the Majestic. The year finished with the Junior-Senior banquet at the Cafeteria in honor of the class of ’16. Having passed this third goal we entered the “Dear old High School with the fourth and last one it sight. The social affairs this season were the costume party giveni by the class of ’18 to ’17 and the Military Fete given by the class or 1. to 18. We are anticipating a glorious time Commencement week, which will include the Baccalaurate sermon to be preached by Rev.Hezlep. a”d Commencement night itself when we, the class of ’17. will right about face and commence our real life, putting into practice the principles and pre- cepts which our loyal faculty have tried to instill into our minds and upon which, up to this time, we have simply theorized. The address of the evening will be delivered by the Rev. Hutchinson of Ihe Christian Church, who was chosen by the Board of Education to perform this important feature of the ceremony. One of the most noteworthy affairs of this year was a several days’ scrap between the Sophomores on one side and the Juniors and Seniors on the other. Blit this was settled amicably and all petty affairs were buried and forgotten when real trouble presented itself—our country’s danger. Several of our boys will not be in their places Commencement night as they have enlisted and gone to help their country. ALL HONOR TO THEM! WE WILL NOT FORGET THEM! ELEANOR CULLEN------’17.

(Fori y-three) There comes a time in the life of every individual and organization when its virtues and faults must he disclosed, and when it must become the butt of ugly criticism. But the purpose of this brief history is, not to criticise, but to give JUST and DUE praise to the Mighty Juniors —the Class of ’18. To relate how this body of fearless youths, and comely damsels has distinguished itself in the past three years is to disclose no secret ; but still it is a matter of great weight and consequence. If this article should in any way underestimate the value of the Class of T8, it is certain that there would ensue open demonstrations of violence, the victim of which would be the author of this M. S. Consequently I approach my task with neither comfort nor self-reliance. As Freshmen this class was claimed by the teachers to have been the brightest, mfost original, and yet restless crowd of “children” ever to enter the Franklin High. What numberless pranks these Freshies were up to. One dark night a delegation of ninth-graders stole up to the New High and handsomely decorated the sidewalks, only to be indignantly rebuked by the upper-classmen, and the valiant bunch of sign-painters were forced to use their few pennies spending-money in purchasing some paint-remover with which to obliterate all evidences of the night before. But lol In one year this motley bunch of “young-uns has grown up and, when they solemnly proceed to take their places as Sophies, the teachers can hardly recognize their stern countenances, rigid under the stress and strain of their newly acquired Sophomoreship. But even yet we are not allowed a close view of that rare collection of haughty personages, whom the teachers call Seniors. No! We are forced to occupy the opposite side of the assembly room, with the Juniors between us and the members of the highest class in school. Of course there was the annual Sophomore debate. But being naturally original and inventive we concluded that there was no use in deciding questions which history had proven hundreds of years before. So we “speechified” on a question of great current interest—“Preparedness. The Sophomore banquet was a decided success due purely to the “courtesy” of the Juniors and Seniors. hhis year the Juniors and Seniors (for some unaccountable reason) joined hands, and after three attempts succeeded in placing their combined pennant high on the flag-pole. But—would the Sophies stand for it? I should say not. They must have that pennant to wear as souvenirs. Now comes the trouble. Just look at those red and purple badges the Sophies are wearing. Look at them, would you? Those pieces are destined to come off with a jerk, and they do (it isn’t only the badges that come off) at noon in a “friendly class-scrap” on the lawn of the High School. But after it is all over we have a meetin’, and decide to call it quits while the quittin’s good; so the scraps are all off. If 1 were to keep on telling of the illustrious Juniors there would have to be a supplement to the annual and because of the increased cost of paper. I consider it my duty to call a halt to these rapid movements of my pen. and let the reader judge from this short history whether or not the Class of 18 is up the high and noble standards of the G. J. H. S. HOWARD NICHOLS, ’18. (Forty-four) (Forty-five) FUSSING EDITOR SELECTS TEAM By ELIZABETH MOULTON The Fussing Editor of the Annual has burned the Tungsten far into the night in determining the Fusscrs’ Team. There is no lack of material. In fact too much, altho some of it is rather mediochre. Prof. Hirons has forbidden us to play Freshmen. This limits us somewhat, as there arc some fine examples of ladies’ men in that class. Therefore we have only chosen men who have proved themselves especially strong in their positions and are eligible according to the Girls’ Gossip Rule. In the back field, stars are no good; we need only consistent ground-gainers. Therefore, we have chosen not brilliant fussers, but hard workers at the art. For the halves, Littlejohn and Dunlap are in a class by themselves. The former youth played three seasons with but little show. Last winter he broke into the limelight with a series of spectacular plays. The other lad. Dunlap, has played for two years with but ragged results. Last winter he also became seized with a new impetus to play the game and since that time he has spent all extra cash, even hair-cut money, at the Majestic. At fullback I place a new man, Allen. Altho Ed knows a little about fussing, yet he will have to learn the rules of the game. He lacks experience of Littlejohn and Dunlap, but with their assistance should be able to play a winning game. For quarter and captain Mark Knight is in a class by himself. Knight is fast, sure of himself, and has wonderful arm power. He has ability to try any form of offense and is a “game” loser. against ONE opponent, for all around work he is right there. For the two tackle positions Williamson and Scheu fill the bill. Both have the same object in view. Williamson is a trifle slower than Scheu and sometimes allows Scheu to get the jump on him, however, the two play well together. At guard. Sanford is a bear. He never misses a signal practice in Consley’s parlor and, it is rumored, even dreams of the game. At center I place Quinn. I thot from last year’s practice he would have been steady enough to have played in the backfield. Evidently he was only a kidder as he didn’t make good. At left guard I placed Howard Nichols. His main stunt is holding a Hill”. This trio as center should be a hard one for opposing teams to handle. At left end I place Beryl Blackwell. This man has never done anything and it is for this reason that I have placed him on the team. If ever he should develop, he might prove more than a mere genius. He has a wonderful faculty for getting out of the way and should prove a good man to get forward passes. You have read the Fusser’s line-up. Now if you have any fussing spirit get out and play on the scrub team anyhow. Will Shakespeare, sporting editor of the Daily News, has expressed the sentiment of every true fusser. “It is better to have tried and lost than At right I place Daywalt. Altho he is not as good a player never to have tried at all.

It was undoubtedly as green as freshman classes usually (?) are; perhaps more so. perhaps less, but it did not know it and did not care. Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, and as all things grow best when happy there was no reason why it should not prove an exception to the rule. And so. like all green things, it flourished in the sunshine of the teachers’ approving smiles and the occasional storms which crossed its path and the vigorous measures used to cultivate its mind. It learned to yell high school yells, to sing How green they are”, and several other things essential for a freshman class to learn. Some of its members won honors for it in the annual debate and expect to again this year. September 1916, it became the Sophomore Class which it still is. It took some time for it to get accustomed to the superior airs of the Juniors and Seniors but could now give pointers to the same Juniors and Seniors. One moring it came to school and found that the Juniors and Seniors had managed, in the night, to raise their flag on the flag-pole just below the tattered Star Spangled Banner. But it was destined not to stay there long, for that morning the sophomore boys pulled it down and tore it into bits. That noon an interesting fight took place in front of the building.

(Fifty-five! BQBQOE3E JL j I “TRIPS” CLASS HISTORY I Ik In this, the first chronicle of the affairs of the third class of the Junior High, it may not be unfitting to state our ancestry. One September day. about one hundred and ten shivering girls and boys put their foot on the first rung of “Fame’s Ladder. Hawthorne Clan was represented by thirty-five stalwarts under Chief Littlejohn. From the Franklin Clan came some forty odd under the leadership of Chief Cottrell. From Orchard Mesa Clan, seven under Chief Lane, while the Pear Park Clan presented eight “right smart children. under Chief Wagler, and from the different parts of the state and nation came about twenty, which make up our miscellaneous or unknown clan without a leader. But all things human change and now they arc all happily united into one clan, which was more generally known as Freshmen, but now called Trips, under Chief Hirons and Sub. or Assistant Chiefs Allen, Clarke. Lewis and Kaup. The clan organization resulted in the choice of Chief Littlejohn as President. Richard Sydenham. Vice-President; Bernadine Hagan. Secretary. while Chief Cottrell acts as Treasurer. Early in the year the clan undertook to advertise the State Teachers’ Glee Club and as our reward we cleared enough to purchase some pictures for our assembly room. These pictures have added to our pleasure as well as the programs we had on great artists and their most famous pictures. JUNIOR HIGH (Sung to the tune of “Tipperary. We are a bunch of Freshmen and we’re proud to say it. too. ’Tho all who see us think we’re green and of the brightest hue, But we are satisfied to be a little super-bright; So people then can look at us and see a funny sight. CHORUS: Takes a long long time to be a Senior, Takes four years of hard work. Takes a long time to be a Senior. But from our task we will not shirk; (lood Bye. dear old Franklin. Farewell Junior High. Takes a long long lime to b • a Senior, But we sure will try. Miss Allen teaches Knglish in Boom i And when she asks us to recite we sink right thru the floor; Miss Lewis knows of all events that happened in the past And if we learn them perfectly it keeps us working fast; Mr. Hirons prophecies that all will turn out well. If all the present Freshmen should farmers in the dell. But Miss Clarice thinks that Latin is the most essential tiling And if a student strives to learn, success it’s sure to bring. Miss Kaup teaches Algebra and with a smile so sweet She tries to make us understand where X and Y will meet. But when to these dear teachers we must sadly say Bood-byc. We’ll never forget the times we had in dear old Junior High. One day in Room 1 the following appeared on the board: Owing to sundry remarks made by ninth-grade Latin pupils derogatory to the Science students, wc. the Science students hereby challenge them to a ’verbum bellum’—any old day, and on the opposite side there soon appeared Accipimus. So the debaters have been chosen and it will come off after the spring vacation. This is the third momentous question we have decided this year in forensic sessions. The Junior High is fast developing a clan spirit and our motto is: In Hirons there is strength, and so in answer to the indignities heaped upon us on a certain April morn, we. thru Chief Hirons sent the Senior High our ultimatum Wc can tend to our own affairs . While in Junior High wc trust we shall all. wheather “Oney, “Toot” or Trip be loyal to the clan and loyally join in the song. EVELYN CROSBY. ’20. Fifty-six) r 3EZ jLdElDnGC3F3F3RRSSSE3E ALUMNI SUGGESTIONS □□OfS Having boon for the past twelve months, non-combatants tn the battle for diplomas and out in the open facing the public at the firing line, there may be a few suggestions, made possible by this very marked change of environment. which will aid slightly in helping those still facing their instructors in the first, second and third, and last trenches, to win their honorable discharges in the easiest and best manner. There has been nothing neglected in giving every one of you in school all the advice that should be necessary to give you a clear understanding of the proper way to handle your course, but there has been a great deal of thut same advice which has not been given the careful enforcement it should have, unless you are a decidedly out-of-thc-ordinary group of students. That good, solid advice you are getting right now will take on an entirely different aspect a few months after you are out of school, so perhaps the thing in order is for us. who no longer have the opportunity of taking advantage, to suggest the manner in which we would go after a diploma If we could start over with the view we now have of High School. If. from the beginning the Freshman will remember that he is in school for himself, doing his work for himself, and benefiting only himself by showing his “dad” a good card every month. He should not maintain the idea that he Is doing his instructors a favor by doing good work and he will, beyond a doubt, go thru without any prayers for a final 75 per cent, being necessary. Mr. Tope has no grades on his books which he is not only willing, but very anxious to write for any fellow who wants them bad enough to go after them in the right way so the erring fellow, it seems to me. who contents himself with even a B must have some vacuums in his head where think-stuff ought to be. There are ways and ways to “GET BY but make your idea of going thru school not to “get by” but rather to get results for it is certainly results you will be expected to produce if you “GET BY after you finish your High School course.

Several excellent stories were submitted, it was very difficult for the Judges to choose the best, as each one was so good, but after the careful consideration of both Miss Ela and Miss Killheffer. the first prize was awarded to Sarah Mari-mon.

'77he fj)urden of a Sister By SARAH MAMMON Here Art, this wav.—Sh-h, ain’t you got no sense, you know you’ll bo heard if you ain’t still.” These angrily whispered words were addressed to Arthur Kenyon, who had just committed the sin of speaking out loud: lie was a boy of about ten years, tall for his age and possessed with an abundance of straight black hair. At this moment his dignity hail just been insulted—he turned to the boy at his side and said with a superior air— Sandy Ellis—I guess I am taller than you and I saw her coming and I reckoned it was time to yell at you to duck:—you are always sticking your head out the wrong direction. Sandy grinned Aw shut up. Art. and hustle: ! reckon she took my head for one of Aunt Susan’s red roses sticking out from behind the hedge. Arthur looked disgusted but made no reply. The pair bent double and crept stealthily along until they came to a portion of the yard where the trees were thick: then the made a dash for an ivy-covered oak .and when safely hidden behind it they straightened up and laughed happily. Well. I guess we ditched your little sis this time alright.’’ remarked the one called Sandy, with an air of satisfaction. I know Art I never saw such a sis. ’pears as if she ain’t got the sense of Aunt Susan’s old Turkey has; she. Just always hanging around and keepin' us from goin’ where we want to. Well,” replied the other in weak defense, it wasn't my fault that she was burn. I told mamma I didn’t want her when I first saw her, but mamma just wouldn’t give her back to the doctor.” Aw. never mind Art. I don’t blame you ’cause she is your sis. my Sunday-School teacher sat ut’ everyone must have their- “Aw. come on. Arthur broke in. we had better beat it quick or she’ll be catching us:—where shall we go? O. I know, let’s go over to the haunted hut on the other side of the mountain. said Sandy eagerly. I went there once with grandpap, only he wouldn't let me stop, he was scared 1 reckon; and while we were a ridin’ past, I saw a headless man slicking his head out of the winder and—’’ Huh. what are you talking about, a headless man hasn’t any head to— Sandy came to the rescue of Ills tale— Well it wasn’t his real head, of course, you igit. it was the ghost of his head—and he shook—’’ Naw. 1 am not going to that hut. I am going to the lonesome pine tree up the river, it’s farther than the haunted hut. if we have time we can go to the lint on our way home; but if you arc going with inc you will have to go to the tree. Arthur was sometimes very stubborn. Sandy knew there was no use to argue. Alright, he said, “I’ll go to the tree first but, I am going to slop at that hut on my way home whether you are scared to or not. The controversy thus settled, the two run-aways started on their journey. They had not gone very far when they heard a shrill cry behind them; they turned to see what it was. The sight which they saw sent an angry flush to their faces.—There was Elsie. Arthur’s little sister: she was running as fast as her fat little legs could carry her and her golden curls were streaming behind her. She came up nearly to them and stopped, panting. I jes been a runnin’ as fast as 1 could to catch you. 1 saw you Jes after you left the big oak tree: and you have been going so fast: I didn’t yell till now tho. for I was 'fraid you would g � faster.” Anger, disgust and dismay mingled themselves on the boys’ faces; they stared at her for a minute then Art gave vent to his feelings. “Sis you go right back home. I guess Sandy and me ain’t going to be bothered with you; we came out for some fun. Beat it. do you hear! or we will set the ghosts from the haunted lint on you. Elsie's eyes grew large with fright and altho she held her ground she began to whimper. Don’t, don’t, she pleaded. I Just wanted to come and 1 won’t bother you. truly I won't. She raised her tear-stained eyes appealingly. Please let me go. I will do anything you tell me to ami I won’t ever, ever tell on you.” She hesitated a minute: her words as yet. had had no effect. And I have some candy, out of Aunt Mildred’s box that her beau brot her. She grinned and swung her small body back and forth, this indeed her trump card. The boys warmed toward her at once; Sandy looked anxiously at Arthur, whom lie considered at present the master of ceremonies. Art was tactful. How much have you got.” he demanded. (Fifty-nine) PRIZE POEM AND Elsie carefully opened her small handkerchief ami displayed badly mashed chocolates. Well. Art considered. I reckon you can go;- that gives two pieces to Sandy and me and one to you.” Elsie did not even remark on the disposal of her chocolates: she was too overjoyed at tin permission to go. As they Journeyed on the boys ignored Elsie completely, but she didn't mind, she was used to such treatment. Presently Elsie began to grow tired; they were climbing now and aitho the slope was gentle, still the climb wearied her. She finally summoned her courage to address Arthur—“Arthur, how long before we get there? She questioned. Arthur saw at once what was the matter with her— Well, it’s your own fault, sis. if you are tired. I told you we didn't want you to come. 0, No, I am not tired. I just wondered.” she said hurriedly. At last they reached the lop of the mountain. On their left was a gentle slope going down Into a little valley. The valley was crowded with tall trees which east their dark shadows on all sides. The sun was still high but the valley, looked very forbidding to the children. Sandy was ex-eited. his eyes shone. There, right down yonder in tin valley is the haunted hut and my nigger mammy said that no matter what time of day it w is you could hear ghosts wailing, aw. come on Art, lc's go there first. lie said eagerly. Elsie stared, round-eyed— Let's go to the tree.” she begged. I am seared of ghosts.” Arthur decided at once In favor of Sandy—he would go to the hut. liirls were such cowards. He and Sandy, however, felt their courage diminishing as they drew nearer the fatal hut. The hut came Into sight, a dilapidated, tumble-down hovel with one window anil a door, which were merely h tb s sawed in the rotten logs. The children stopped and stood awe-struck. Sandy felt that it was up to him to be brave. What you all staring at. he demanded. Why don’t you go on till you get sc mew here. Well. replied the insulted Arthur. � guess you were staring loo. why don't you go on? Sandy advanced cautiously a few steps then with the air of a wizard, he placed his ear against the ground and listened Intently. Arthur was curious. Elsie was rather frightened. In a few minutes Sandy returned with a very serious face. They ain’t any ghosts here yet. he announced, mammy says ghosts can hide their noise from the air hut they can’t tiide fr m the earth, it Js sure to hear them, and there is nary a sound in the earth now. Maybe we had better go on to the tree and stop on our way back. Arthur was indignant but he. nevertheless, was impressed and was only loo glad to accept an excuse for leaving the fearful spot. He hesitated, however, and Sandy saw his hesitation and said loftily. If you don’t believe me you can go look in the hut and prove it. STORY CONTEST 0 . well! I guess I don't care anyway, come on Klsie, let's go to the tree” said Arthur rather angrily. Klsie was more than willing, she had been anxiously glancing at the cabin all during their controversy and her nerves were strained to the breaking point. They had Just started when a scolding cat-bird, in the tree above them gave, vent to her feelings. This was more than Elsie could stand, she screamed and fled while her brave warriors followed headlong. After going a few roils Sandy stopped. “What you running from. Art. ’frnid the spooks'll get you? he demanded Art stopped dead still -‘‘Huh, think I was runnin’ cause I was scared, did you? Well. I was Just trying to catch Elsie. Klsie. you little coward, what did you run for?” Oooo. wailed Elsie. 1 was so scared, did you hear that ghost. 0, O She began to sob hysterically. Sandy was touched. Aw, Klsie don’t cry, that noise wasn't more than a wildcat or a tiger, anyway, don’t cry. it wasn't a ghost, I know. Como on. let's heat it for the pine tree. The pine tree was imposing, it was at least fifteen feet taller than any of the surrounding trees. Its lowest branches were at least ten or fifteen feet from the ground. The boys surveyed it appraisingly. Then by pushing dead trees and branches against its trunk they managed to climb on the lowest branches of the mighty pine. This was certainly an achievement worth a trip of miles. Elsie watched admiringly from the ground. She had tried to follow the boys, but they wouldn't help her and her legs were too short to reach far. The boys were enjoying themselves too much to come down at once: visions of envious fellowmen dazzled their eves and they were supremely happy. After a while. Iho, they reached the ground flushed with triumph and overflowing with good-will toward all. By this time, however, the sun was down. Sandy observed this and said: I reckon we had better hustle if we get to the haunted hut before dark. He, tried to make his voice sound assured, but he glanced nervously about him as he spoke, lie hoped Arthur would find an excuse for not going but Arthur summoned his fast-fading courage and replied, as naturally as he could make himself speak. “I suppose we had. listen and see if you hear any ghosts now ; we will Just peek at them from behind the trees you know: we don't want to get too close. Klsie threw her arms around her brother's waist and clung to him in wild terror, her large, dark eyes gazing appealingly at Sandy who was listening intently for ghosts. Sandy arose from his listening position and informed them with an air of finality that the ghosts he felt sure were in abundance at the haunted hut. Klsie began to cry. but the boys paid no heed to her they stalked onward like prisoners going to their doom. When they rame in sight of the hut they crept behind some husnes and speechless, stared tensely at the deserted hut. It was dusk by Inis time and the stars were beginningto come shyly forth. Suddenly onto the still evening air was borne an uncanny sound, -a wall, sad and desolate. It lasted for only a moment and then silence. Terror-stricken, the three childly) PRIZE STORY AND POEM CONTEST ren clung together, the wail was repeated, then at the window of the hut appeared two gleaming eyes. Panic-stricken, the children fled, with no idea where they were going. Somehow they managed to stay together; Elsie Kept up with the hoys by clinging desperately to Arthur’s hand. They ran until they had no breath left then they slowed down to a walk. Elsie was sobbing hysterically, and the boys, altho they struggled against it. felt the tears flowing fast down their cheeks. After a while the boys b it some of iheir lost courage returning and Sandy in a hushed voice, suggested that they had better run if they wanted to get home before they were missed very much. They started to run, but Elsie soon fell down and refused to go an farther. Aw. gee Elsie, if it wasn’t for you we could have been home long ago, you made us go slow a-coming and now you are going,” scolded Arthur. Hut Elsie was desperately stubborn. Finally the boys, at Sandy’s suggestion. made a chair of their hands and carried her. It was very dark by this time and the stars twinkled and winked at them as tho trying to cheer them up. Suddenly what was that they heard?—it sounded like dogs barking, like people shouting. The children listened intentlythen a great light dawned on Arthur. Huh. the folks are out looking for us. just as if we were lost.” he said, trying to be scornful, but the Joy in his voice could not. be concealed. For live people are a great relief when one is watching for ghosts. The next morning Arthur and Sandy held a conference. •My mamma said.” stated Sandy, that if she hadn’t been so glad to sec me she would have whipped me for runnin’ away. But pa sure gave ine a scoldin'. I rather have a lickin’ any day than such a scolding. Arthur sniffed, mamma said 1 ought to be ashamed to drag my little sister out ami scare her half to death and tire her out; and then papa gave me an awful whipping. I didn’t ery tho. —But Elsie didn’t get whipped, no. Sir. They Just took her and gave her a nice warm bath and put her to bed: and she ain’t up yet either, the big baby.” The last of his speech was bitterly spoken. Sandy looked his sympathy— I reckon.” he said slowly, ’it would have been the same way with me if I had a sister.—gee, ain’t I glad I haven’t.” There was silence for a few minutes then Sandy spoke again, this time with his most sanctified air. -I guess. Art. Elsie is your cross, just like milking Old Betsy is mine. The two boys looked decidedly depressed, and then Just because childish spirits cannot be depressed long. Sandy said- - Gee, but think Art how we can make Jim Hawkins and Ezra Newton jealous by tollin’ them how we climbed the pine tree and saw the ghost:— pa said it was only an owl, he said there was droves of them in that hut, but I guess 1 know a ghost, when I see one.” Arthur’s spirit was revived. Y h. and one can tell them how we weren’t scared and—O. gee. Sandy, ain’t we glad we went. The auhor of his lovely little poem refuses publishing it anonymously for everyone to enjoy. Each chilly dawn I quake and yawn And pine for words to tell My frigid dread when from my bed i hear the breakfast bell.

THE JUNIOR PLAY The Junior Class certainly gave the High School a great treat when, at me last literary society of the year, they presented a very clever little Spanish comedy. Las Panlaloonas. All the conversation was carried on In Spanish and the acting was excellent. The play was under Mrs. McClin-toek s direction and surely deserved a great deal of praise and credit. I Ins is the first year that Spanish has been introduced into our school so vo all take great pride in the fad that our boys and girls could carry this play thru in such a very successful manner.

THE SENIOR PLAY. The play which the Senior Class presenled before the Literary Society this year was under the excellent direction of Mrs. Uaylis.

She I lien shows Sara the minuet and leaves her to keep shop while site returns the gown. While she is gone. Sara, overcome with temptation, tries the minuet. In the midst of her dance three men. George Washington. Captain Boss and Mr. Morris, enter the shop and stie flees in embarrassment. She soon returns, however, and the men ask for Betsey: just at this moment Betsey walks in. and Captain Ross reveals their mission. Washington wants her to make a new flag. They discuss several plans, but finally decide oil stars. Betsey shows them how to make fine pointed ones, quickly toils out thirteen white ones and pins them in a circle on the dark blue ground from whence Washington had torn tiie ‘Tnlon Jack.” She holds it up for admiration and they all join in singing “The Star-Spangled Banner.

(Sixty-four) ATHLETICS [Sixty-five) hTfl’•--« O’— --•to 4 ooo y ■o--o—o—1 o-tt—o—— -•� —o—-a—o- g -o—Q- ft-o -n—g—i HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL : The past football season, when reviewed as to the games lost and won, does not show the full strength of the team or give the team a fair representation. It was not the teams we eame up against that whipped us. but it was the conditions that the team had to combat before they could be a team. The football men got together when the season was hardly half over and at a time when the other teams on the western slope had been playing some of their big games. As a result of this unavoidable delay the fellows had to rush training and were not in the best of condition for the first games. The learn was just beginning to play together and to know the game when the season stopped and tho we tried to schedule a post-season game, we were unable to do so. The team was the lightest ever put out by the school, yet what they lacked in weight they made up in speed and it was this speed that won tiie games for us. The following is a brief review of the season. Tiie first game was played at home with Delta. The score was 13-16 in favor of tiie visitors when (lie %histle blew for the finish. After the second team played Fruita a couple of times, coming home with the little end of the score both times. The second important game of the season was with Gunnison Normal at Gunnison. The Normalitcs out-weighed the Tigers between 23 and 30 lbs. to tiie man and so there was not very much of a game and the score was 61-3. Montrose came next on tiie string. Tho they out-weighed us slightly tiie team began to show what was in them and heat the visitors on this occasion 48-3. After tills victory over a team that had been making quite a clean-up in their part of the country we felt ready to meet almost any one. Delta had disbanded because of an accident to one of their men and so the Thanksgiving game with them had to be cancelled. A game with Fruita was scheduled for that day and Hie confident Fruitaites came up only to gj back with the score 39-14 in our favor. This game closed tiie season and a post-season game could not be arranged the team disbanded. In a financial way last season was the most successful we ever had. As tiie board of directors refused to hire a coach for us Frank DuCray was hired by the Athletic Association and despite the fact that it looked as if we would have to resort to some form of passing tiie hat the gate receipts more than paid for the coach. Altho several of the team graduates this year, yet Captain Derryherry, Hanks. Peabody. Scheu. Williamson. Jones and Moore of last year’s team should form a good foundation on which to build. Horne, Coles and Vannice will come out in the liine-light next year, also, and some team ought to result. Frank DuCray. physical director of the Y. M. C. A. deserves the appreciation of every loyal high school student. It was thru tiis earnest and untiring efforls that the football and basketball teams were whipped into winning form. Despite the late start last fall his previous knowledge and experience of hygienic living and training stood him in good stead and he got the team in good condition. Every one of the boys with whom DuCray has worked gives him his sincere respect and admiration and hopes to iiave him for next season’s coach. The student body as a whole and especially those who took part in tiie football of last season, wish tu express their sincere appreciation for the service rendered by their principal. Professor It. K. Tope, who was instrumental in obtaining a coach for the team last fall. Prof. Tope guaranteed quite a large sum of money last fall by his personal note to the Athletic Association when there was not very much in sight in a financial way. This was met by the profits of the year, yet we realize the financial risk run and wish to express our heart-felt appreciation to both Professor Tope and the directors and secretary of the Y. M. C. A. for their invaluable assistance in bringing the season to a successful termination. Those wearing football letters are Allen (3 4). Brownson (2'. Coles (1), Day wait (4). Derryherry f captain-elect) 1 A 2). Hanks (2). Horne fl . Knight (3), Littlejohn (captain) (3 A 4), Miller (1). Murray (1. 2 A 3;, Peabody (3), Quinn (4), Scheu (2), Thomas (4), Williamson 2). (Sixty-six) (Sixty-seven) 1 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL 13 This year’s basketball season for the girls proved to be the best that the G. J. H. S. could boast of since the years 1911 and 1912. when the girls held the championship of Western Colorado. Not only did the girls have the honor of winning the championship, but those who have seen the three championship teams say that the team of 1917 can claim the honor of being the best all around Champ team. The reasons for such a splendid team are numerous. (I) They played together from the beginning of the season to the end. (2) They were girls who were willing to sacrifice all things in order to have a winning team and were determined to win the Championship. (3) The girls were all loyal to the captain and coach, abiding at all times by their rules. (4) They played clean and fair ball. (5) They played the best teamwork of any team on the Western Slope. All these items were very important in making them a wonderful team, and they deserve all the honor that a school can give them, and it should be proud to possess such a team of clean, wholesome girls. As girls and as players we admire them and praise them and feel that they have rightfully earned their honor. In the personnel of the team, it is hard to pick any one star, as in all games it was the team that won and no individual player. So we will give good points of each girl as we give the lineup. As captain. Amy Brown deserves much credit in her splendid ability in managing a team. She is a born leader and her influence over the girls was of the best and highest. Her love of clean and fair playing helped to make the team what it was. A team with a good captain cannot help but win. As a player she was of the best type and her fast playing always put the ball in our field at the start. She could be depended upon to do her best at all times and her ability to play teamwork with any of the players was most noticeable. It is to be regretted that Amy cannot lead her team on to victory again next year. She proved her worth when the team was left in her hands as the coach had to leave before the season was over. She piloted her team thru two glorious victories and the honor of these two games belongs to her. The two forwards, Gladys Bailey and Gladys Kiefer, are a pair that are hard to beat. Never has the school had two such wonderful little players. They worked like a machine and each always knew where to find the other. As a basket-thrower, Gladys Bailey is the best we have had in years, and she deserves much credit when we consider that this is her second year of basketball. Her success was due to her firm determination to make good and she certainly did. Altho Gladys Kiefer was not quite as good a basket-thrower, she made up this in her excellent team-work with her other forward. She was swift and sure with the ball and her accuracy in passwork could not be excelled. She was there at ail times and could be depended upon to get the ball to the basket. Her unselfishness in giving the ball to the other player show’s true sportsmanship and this element in her makes her the kind of a player the coach wants. The guards deserve much credit for their excellent playing, as neither had played that position before. Hulda Julious. who had never played before, developed into a fine player. Her ability to grasp the ideas of basketball and the method of playing is highly commendable. She looked like a real basketball player from the beginning and her swift playing and guarding were first-class. Her determination to be a good player helped her to reach the coveted goal and helped her team to victory. Mildred Nelson, who played as sub. last year, developed rapidly into a first-team player. Mildred was wherever the ball chanced to be and her guarding was faultless. Very few forwards could do much with her and her wonderful endurance and energy wore many a player out. Her ability to grasp situations and to break up the plays of other teams are outstanding features. The. two centers worked like machinery and their ability to get the ball at the beginning of the games helped greatly in winning. These Sixty-eight) two were the pivot, and so much depended on them, but they seldom failed to get the ball at the start. Mary Sanford came out after the season had started and she solved the problem of a jumping center. She has been the best one we have had in years. She could out-jump most of her opponents and her accuracy in batting the ball to Amy was her strong point. Mary was fast and she at no time had any trouble in getting away from her opponent. She was always loose and ready to get the ball to her side. VICTORIA WTLHELMY, Coach.

Altho the season started out rather slowly and a couple of games were lost, the team kept at the game and soon put themselves in the front rank. Altho two stars of last year were not with us, four of last year’s men—Knight and Birdsall at forwards and Allen and Scheu at guards, began working together with more than their old-time speed and the loss of last year's team was not felt as much as it had been feared. The late start of the team and its inability to shoot baskets at the first of the season were directly responsible for the loss of the first few games. After the team had got together, besides the inter-class games, a schedule was arranged between the Y” and city teams and from that time on every one worked to make the team a winner. The success of this first effort was shown in the last three games which were played with Mesa, Palisade and Paonia. Altho Mesa and Palisade had beaten us in the first games we played with them, the Junction team took the lead and held it in the later games. Altho three of the team graduate this year, there will be plenty of material for a good team next year, so here’s hoping they have the best team ever put out. The following was this year’s line-up: forwards, Knight and Birdsall: guards, Allen (captain) and Scheu; center, Littlejohn. The following have won letters in basketball: Allen (3 and 4), Birdsall (2 and 3), Boiler, (2), Knight (3 and 4), Littlejohn (4), Moore (3), Scheu (I and 2). Shaw (2), Williamson (2). (Seventy-two) (Seventy-tii: •' (Seventy-four) [ PERSONNEL OF FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL TEAMS 1 Foot Ball 'Players Lawrence Littlejohn our captain played an excellent name as left end. When Littlejohn was after a man a cloud of dust was sure to follow his assault. He was also our punter. The pigskin was often seen in the upper part of our earthly dome after Littlejohn was thru with it. Ed Allen at quarter back was in every play. Quarter back is always the hardest position to fill, as it is the pivot on which the rest of the team works. Much depends on the accuracy of passing the ball to the back field, and judgment in directing Hu plays. In these essentials the position was never better filled on a (i. J. team than this year. Much credit must, be given Ed. for the splendid victory over the heavy Montrose team, and his generalship in the Kruita game on Thanksgiving. Our left end. Harold Thomas was often seen way down the field witli the ball tucked under his arm: after he had caught thnt long pass. The quarterback could depend on Pick getting his man out of the road. our right tackles. Knight and Peabody, kept the opponents guessing. They never showed a bit of yellow streak, and always downed their man. In many a game the opponents left tackle was seen to edge a foot or so back to avoid the plunge of one of these men. .... Emmet Quinn, our right guard, showed up fine. In a hard game muon depends upon the guards and center. These men are not cheered by the crowd who onlv watch the man carrying the ball. However, it is these men with the rest of the line that make the holes thru which the back-field run. Emmett as guard was always pounding away on the opponents shoulders, and many a ten yards was made by his efforts. Clair Qulst as left guard deserves much credit for hls exceltent work. His opponents sometimes looked sick and scared, almost? Yellow. I wonder why ? Fred Hanks as center was a powerful influence for the making of a good team. He knew Just how to get that hall hack to the quarterback and it sure went hack with a slam. As no other man on the team. Fred could see thru the opponents plays. Leland Scheu was our full back brave. However, lie oflen had a dreamy look as if he knew Isabel was watching him make that thirty-yard run. But we do not blame him for this because we know he played the better for (it. Lo—e?.) Jack Daywalt was our right half-back. He sure could cover the tcrri-torv in a hurry. When Jack got his head ducked low. ami that determined look on his face you could sure tell he was going to hit that line hard. He was a good man to call on in a tight place. The left half-hack. Fred Williamson was a hummer. He not only could catch a pass but could send one as well. He was always Freddie on the spot. Last but far from least is captain elect Ward Derry berry. Ward as left tackle could always be counted on. His massive form--urged on by the small voice of Miss Beth- made the enemy tremble. When Ed. was in a puzzling place lie oflen senl a backfleld man thru Ward's tackle and the man usually made a big gain. Ward is just the man to captain next year's championship G. J. II. S. learn. i'Basket Sail Players Captain Alien at guard played a steady and consistent game at all times, none of that star and flashy stuff In Ed's play. His conservative system of guarding was an important factor in winning our hardest games—Falisade and Paonla. The team’s success was largely due to his work as captain of the team. Stanley Birdsal! played a cracker Jack game at forward. As the season wore on Stanley began to play good team work, and shoot more baskets than ever before. He could be depended on at critical moments. Leland Scheu played a splendid game at guard. The spectators do not seem to realize that a guard Is as responsible for winning a game as a forward is. His job is to keep the other teams score down. Leland sure did this to perfection. Was that luck or down right skill? Look at that Knight put ’em In. Yes it was some of both, hut maybe a little more skill than luck. Mark was certainly there with the goods. Look at that man plunge for the ball. Why he acts as if it was foot ball. Lawrence Littlejohn for a first year man. has the record in old G. J. as our best possible center. He did not try to star or hog it all but got down to plain team work. Fred Williamson in years to come will lie our High schools best basket ball shooter. Some say he was 'the best this year and it certainly was a close draw. Fred in his pleasant agreeable manner, helped the team in to many ways to enumerate. He was an will be an excellent player. y-five) (Seventy-six) Hasp Hall •‘••••in to have route hark I•� this school again this year with all ils nld lime miii.

The High School is Ihe people’s College. We mean l y this that it is prlmarilv the institution of learning in our American system or public education that lias for ils purpose the differentiation of pupils -� s to the work thev shall follow during their lives, the development of powers that will help’ them to do what they undertake efficiently and sincerely, the implanting of virtues and desires that will enable them to live happily and to have the vision of service toward their fellows, and finally, to determine what bovs amt girls should wisely aim to complete courses m higher institutions' of learning leading to leaching. law. medicine or to prepare them to become vocational experts in such work as engineering, agri ul-lure or chemistry. The high school is not a separate institution: il is an intermediary nidi between the intermediate or semi-academic school and the state university. If is not a school for drill. This is a function of the elementary school. It Is not a school for research. This is the function of the university. Between these extremes we must strike a median and in this we shall find the aim of the secondary school. 11 is academic and vocational: traditional and conventional; cultural and utilitarian; experimental and dogmatic; social and individualistic. High school students may be divided into four classes. One of these should be given a training along academic lines and In the art of study that will Tit them for college entrance. Another should he given a general cultural training not very unlike the first except the more formal and traditional subjects such as Higher Mathematics, classics, dead languages, and the well established sciences should he supplanted by social science, biological science, ethics, civil government, psychology and other forming sciences that cultivate rational mental habits, because this group will Hud their places in their father’s stores or other places of business, or In some lines of work that appear to be to their liking. Another should be given vocational courses that not only drill them for effflctcncy In some occupation such as clerical commercial work, but give them a liberal knowledge of English. History. Mathematics. Science, and perhaps of some modern language aside from English. s � that they will have a fair chance of receiving whatever promotions are current In the institution for which they labor particularly those of managerial importance, and finally a fourth group who will he unable to complete a high school course, because of finances. Inferior intellectual capacity, or lack of purpose in life, and who will have lo he given special courses improvised for the purpose of addins to their limited knowledge and powers something that will be of value to them when the) find llieir places among the “hewers of wood and drawers of water. What then are the aims of the high school? Let us divide them Into primary and secondary aims. Primary. 1. Differentiation of individual virtues, desires, motives and abilities is one of the primary aims of the hitih sehool. Men differ in degree and kind of work. Life and all her activities in Ihe real world outside of school is marked by variation. The high school then must not leave it to mere chance for hoys and girls to find llieir places or some place in Ihe real world where they are lo spend Ihe major portion of llieir lives. When Ihe time comes for a man lo assume Ihe more serious responsibilities of life, ho must have a niche into which we can fit and where he can work mil his own destiny and that of his family. 'i. The second primary aim of Ihe high school should be Ihe cultivation of rational mental habits. The idea) of reason and sound deliberate jmlg-rnent is one of the principal goals of high school work. The high school has Ihe child during the years when reason is being enthroned in Ihe life •if the individual. The high school must break the bonds of irrational predisposition. so that Ihe young men and women who pass through its courses of study can realize that they live In a real forming world, and that they are not slaves to tradition, dogmatism and antiquated authority. The high school pupil should be laught to think, to prove and to verify. 3. High sehool education should liberalize every useful calling and kind of work. It should exalt il, make it masterful and noble. Variability is the most precious part of a good education. We need to have Ibis as a primary aim of Ihe high school because il will help to kill snobbery and a caste system, a pair of dangers that are beginning lo threaten democratic America. i. The fourth primary aim is social and civic culture. Men and women should have a broad vision of individual happiness, social welrare and race interest, and a wise comprehension of the function of the stale and nation, and of llieir duties as citizens of a government «� f their own making. T). The fifth aim should he to give a maximum of attention I • training in conduct, industry, promptness, neatness and systematic habits of attack. Success in life depends so much on a high standard in these important traits. Promotions and demotions are determined |� y them and the party affected is seldom consulted mi regard to the matter. He either gels on or fails to get on as a result of the arbitrary judgment of his employer. The. sixth primary aim of the high school Is to prepare the students for Intelligent, active participation in human affairs. They should have Ihe Eighty) AIMS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL ability and the disposition to participate with intelligence and appreciation in the intellectual and aesthetic interests of cultivated and refined people. 7. The seventh aim is to determine whether the student may or may not wisely aim to reach one of the higher professions. The child of humble birth should have a chance to become a professional man or woman but the high school should not neglect the more important thing of helping him to find his calling or occupation, and prepare him for il. Ily all means equip him with the means of getting on in life, of earning his daily bread. Secondary. support in the widest and fullest sense, not only for themselves personally, but for those who are or who may become dependent on them; likewise they should go from the school full of desire to do some worthy form of service throughout life. To secure this aim regular systematic instruction must be given in vocational guidance. 3. The third secondary aim Is to make perception and association keen, accurate and faithful. The experimental temperament should be cultivated with assiduity. The training of the senses through which that best part of knowledge comes is just os important in the high school as it is in the elementary school. This training can he given in certain kinds of laboratory work and in many forms of observational study that should be provided. 1. The first secondary aim is to teach academic subjects so that ihe students will have a reasonable efficiency in Ihe knowledge pertaining to ihe prescribed subjects taught. A high standard should be set and maintained. The minimum required course that should be provided for all Is three years of credit work In Knglish, two in science, two in history, two in mathematics and one in social science. Choices then can be given between Language. Science, Normal, commercial or other vocational studies that may bo provided. The primary aim in adding courses to the curriculum is to give a wider range of opportunity to the pupils enrolled in the school. Each subject added should have its own separate and distinct aim. and this definite specific aim should be the criterion for its adoption into the course or its rejection. Proficiency should be the aim in whatever subjects are taken by Ihe students. Secondary education is too traditional. In its attempt to store up knowledge in the minds of its pupils, it has gone beyond «he bounds of true pedagogy. In stressing this side of education, it has overlooked the most vital thing in education which is tin vitalizing of history and language and literature, so ihat whatever is worth while is made to sift through the years and centuries, and function in some way in the life of today. On the other hand secondary education has neglected the biological, psychological and sociological sciences. The neglect of the sociological group of sciences is the weakest point in secondary education. Algebra has been over emphasized to the neglect of more useful and practical mathematics for the great mass of high school students. 2. The second secondary aim is to prepare the great mass of high school people for some definite kind of work; to fit them f«r some ordinary job in a good commercial institution that will afford them opportunities for promotion Just as rapidly as they become efficient employees in any line of service. Every young man and woman should face Ihe problem of self- 4. To prepare Ihe students for college Is the fourth aim. This matter should be adjusted as early in the school career as possible. The pupil should try to decide by the third year in high school what course he is to attempt to follow', and the kind of higher institution he plans to enter, so that his course may be shaped for admission when he Is ready to enter. If not then he should take a general academic course that will prepare him for entrance Into the best colleges. 5. The fifth aim of the high school is to give to each student as good a physique as is possible. Scientific courses in physical education should be given by experts. Too much emphasis cannot be placed on this aim. if the right ideal is kept clear in mind. It should be treated in a broad constructive educational sense looking toward the future welfare of the race. 6. The sixth aim is to teach the art of study. Habit of attack is a characteristic that must he well established early in life. 7. The seventh aim is to guide the student into effective independent work. The teacher should not. be the absolute center of the school. She should not monopolize Ihe development and discussion. The aim of the high school should be to balance the amount of definite prescribed work to be performed mechanically with an equal amount of work that rs independent and Individualistic, especially in its relation to concrete living issues. Knowledge of history and classics may be useless and dead, if it d«n not apply to the real world in which the individual lives. The aim of the high school should therefore be to establish a connection Ihat is applicable or else put an end lo such abstract knowledge getting which seems to be just for Ihe sake of knowing facts or tradition.

MARJORIE CARSTENSON Chorus of Follies—Chorus of Shadows. The High School Skating Rink Our dear Professor Tope realized that when Days are cold and dark and dreary. even the industrious students of old G. J. H. S. pine for fun For six successive weeks, on Friday nights, we gathered there in large numbers, and many delightful hours were spent in this healthful, happy way. To close the series there was a costume party, at which we had even a better time, if possible, than on any other evening—But. O how we missed the big round moon. Professor Tope, why and where did you take our moon ? The Junior-Senior ‘Parly The Mighty Seniors were royally entertained by the Juniors on the evening of February sixteen, at a masquerade party given at the High School. The colors of the two classes were artistically combined to form a very effective decorative scheme thruout the rooms. The costumes were interesting and beautiful—with gallant knights, and ladies fair. Indian maids and cowboys gay,—In fact there were costumes of every description and kind. After a very interesting program our dignified ? Miss F.la told fortunes at a very'cleverly arranged Gypsy camp. Another enjoyable feature of the evening was the Swap Game . With much hilarity and no little cunning, dime toys were exchanged, and one never knew whether the next trade would bring a red automobile of a Chinese poodle. Delicious refreshments were served at long tables, where again the purple and gold of the Seniors and the red and white of the Juniors, were employed in the decorations and wherever possible in the menu. The artistic ability of the Juniors was evident in the grotesque and weird place cards, suggestive of the masque. At a late hour the happy Seniors (and somewhat tired Juniors) departed for their homes, all feeling that the evening was one long to be remembered.

A short program of toasts was enjoyed, with Lawrence Littlejohn, the class president, presiding as toastmaster. Senior-Junior Party Defying superstition, on Friday, the thirteenth, in April, the Class of M7 entertained the Class of 18 at a Military Pete, which was entirely in keeping with the spirit of the times. Margery hall has never looked more attractive nor been the scene of a happier gathering and with the national colors prominent in all decorations. with the costumes of soldiers and sailors and red-cross nurses, there was decided military air predominating. There was a short program and then refreshments were served cafateria style in the banquet-room. Delicious punch was served during the entire evening. After refreshments the remainder of the evening was spent in •tripping the light fantastic, and in games until time to say good-night.” Sophomore Party Because of some of the boys enlisting, the Sophomores were unable to have their annual debate ami customary banquet this year which is usually given in honor of the debaters. They, however, gave a party for the class on April twenty-seventh at Margery Hall. The decorations were suggestive of a May-day festival—the class colors, blue and white, predominating. There was a program, after which refreshments were served. Later dancing and games were enjoyed. The music was furnished by the Walker Orchestra. Class Picnics DID you ask if there were any picnics? t ndoubtedly there were,— three of them, each one very different from the other, and each one a PICNIC” in every sense of the word. First the little SOPHOMORES went to NoUiorofare canon and had a very gay time of It. surmounting all obstacles such as fallen trees and rock slides, until they came to a creek that was too broad for the girls to Jump— horrors! Bui it is rumored that they got across Just the same—for the boys of the Soph, class are VERY STRONG. The self-satisfied Juniors spent Wednesday of Spring Vacation week at Liberty-Cap. It was a cold day and a cold trip, but with Helene Parsons gaily leading the way over snow-covered trails and thru deep snow drifts, they reached the top of Liberty-Cap where a hot lunch was the more thoroly enjoyed after the cold climb. And last but not least was the Senior Picnic. This unusual class had a picnic of their own kind, an almost strictly Suffragette gathering—the gallant youths of the class having only four brave representatives—but for efficiency and the ability to give everybody a good time, these four are hard to beat. Everybody climbed and everybody cooked and even our very charming and ever-joyous chaperone. Mrs. Harry Jones, helped to drive the team. Maybe there was a little smoke, and maybe a little ash in the lunch, but that only made this otherwise unusual pinnlc. like all other picnics. IBoys’ Glee Club i _____________ One of the new musical organizations formed by Miss Moulton this year, was (he Boys’ Glee Club, and there were many splendid voices to be heard in this club. Several very interesting entertainments were given at both Junior and Senior Highs, proving very popular with the students. This is only one of the many successful musical organizations formed by Miss Moulton, and the work of this Club is a further proof of her ability as a musical director. (Ninety-two) (Ninel y-threc) (Ninety-four) (Ninety-five; ‘Parting Words to the Seniors To the Members of the Senior Class: My dear young friends: As commencement time approaches, your minds and hearts, f know, are filled with hopes for the future, with noble ambitions, and with deep regard for your high school with its daily duties and its pleasant activities. As I think of the members of this class, many pleasant memories come to me of your progress through the grades, and of your earnest, faithful application to your work. As a reward for your labors, you now stand on the highest round of the high school ladder. Many bright prospects open before you. The avenues of success are open to him who is willing to work. Commencement, rightly so called, signifies in its fullness not so much the closing of high school as the beginning of a larger life. No matter what vocation you may follow, or what as men and women you may tecome. certain fundamental principles and certain traits of character will stand you in good stead. Each one should have a high ideal, which is not self-centered, but v hich shall be an ideal of usefulness. To succeed in life, a great degree of determination is essential. The man who wins is the man who may fall down, or be knocked down, and rises again to go on courageously. The habit of industry, of regular and faithful application to daily work, has often spelled success for men of ordinary ability, when men of extraordinary ability, without this habit, have signally failed. Concentration upon the work in hand will often succeed when dissipated attention and energy bring failure. Independence of character is an important element in a successful and happy life. The man or woman who always stops to consider what people will think or say will never get anywhere. Like a mariner on a ship without compass or rudder, such a person will be driven about over a stormy sea, and will never arrive in port. It is easy for us to think again the thoughts which others have thought: it is easy for us to do the kind of work which others have done; but we should go beyond this small sphere of living. We should have initiative, and should not be afraid to try some things which others have not attempted. Most people have more initiative than they use, because it is pleasant and delightful to advance along the line of least resistance. A courageous heart is a rich possession. Have courage to keep on working bravely, even if you do not see the results you had hoped for; even if your motives are misunderstood, and your work is not apprecia-ated. Keep fast hold of the best things; and. as you travel along life’s journey, think of the welfare and happiness of others. Cherish purity of life, a clean conscience, truthfulness, honesty, honor, cheerfulness, respect for God and your fellow men. But life is not all work if it is well rounded. For the best development. there should be relaxation as well as earnest striving. Every one should have an avocation as well as a vocation. Recreation is important.—gymnasium work, games and sports, boating, fishing, hunting, all have an important place in a person’s life. Music, painting, language study, club work, and other forms of diversion from everyday routine duties, broaden, deepen, and render more joyous and efficient those not confining themselves too closely to hum-drum drudgery. In the words of another I will express a few words of friendly advice. The sentiment is a noble one. and may be an inspiration to all: Unto thyself be true. And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man. Wishing each one of you a useful and happy life, I am Your sincere friend. J. HENRY ALLEN. (Ninety-six) EDITORIALS ‘Uhe Departed and Their Successors From the students standpoint the prospects for the present term were decidedly clouded over by the resignation of two of the most valued members of the faculty. Miss Caroline Lindley and Mr. Homer Dodds. Miss Lindley had been a teacher in the schools as long as any of the members of the present Senior class could remember and she had become such a treasured factor in the system thru her mathematical g«nius and dramatical excellence in training the students for their annual Senior class play that it was a serious blow to all classes alike to learn that she had obtained a more lucrative position elsewhere, tho all were pleased to learn of this merited advancement. Mr. Dodds had served the school for years as a history, mathematics, biology and astronomy instructor, with a thoro knowledge of the subjects he taught and a congeniality of imparting his learning to others that had won him the unanimous friendship of all students. In addition to this he had always shown a willingness to shoulder the responsibilities of the athletic teams in handling their finances and arranging matches with other schools that made the loss of his services here quite as keen as in the class room. In basketball the boys had always been able to look to Mr. Dodds for training that was the outgrowth of several seasons of successful play-ir.g on one of the fastest teams in the country. This was gladly donated to them and was largely responsible for the swift teams always turned out under his supervision. To fill such vacancies was obvious to be a hard task and those who accepted the places must be well qualified if they were successfully to fill them as well as those who had left them vacant thru their resignations. Julian Howe, son of the famous Dean Howe of Denver University, took up his first year of high school teaching with the Grand Junction school last September with the responsibility thrown upon him of doing the work done by Mr. Dodds. In Mr. Howe the students have been able to recognize a man whose capabilities are amply adequate for the occasion. He has won the friendship of those in his classes by the pleasure he has shown in helping them with any difficult problems arising from the lessons and from his congenial association with them in social life. In filling the place of Miss Lindley it was recognized as next to an impossibility to get in a single person the qualities of this variously endowed teacher, but the board and students alike feel that the mathematical instructor selected. Raymond R. Weaver, is far above the average. He knows hjs business thoroly and seems peculiarly adapted to making himself and his methods understood. There have been few. if any. in this school who could so easily delve to the depths of the student mind and instill the spark of enlightenment therein. We feel, and we believe all who are acquainted with the situation feel, that the excellence of the faculty of the Grand Junction High School has in no way become inferior thru the change that took place at the beginning of this term and it is the sincere hope of the graduating class that future classes may be as fortunate as they have been, gaining the same earnest, impartial co-operation from the teaching body and enjoying the same personal attachments that makes our departure in so many ways a regretable occasion to us. Our New High School The tax payers of this school district have expressed their desire to have the tottering Franklin building replaced by two magnificent wings comprised of fourteen rooms annexed to the High School, seven to be placed on each side of the present building. Every effort is being put forth to have these wings completed by the beginning of the next term, in order that the members of the Junior High may be lodged in the same building with the Senior High and thus [Nlncty-srvoi: 30E3EZ30QE 3E3E3EE3E3E 3EBE38 30E3EE3E3EI3E3E EDITORIALS 3BBOE create a unity of the groups which has always been lacking, due to the isolation of one building from the other. This arrangement will work automatically to bring about a school spirit between the different classes of the twro schools that will prove of inestimable value to the students of both. To the Junior High In this, their first year as high school students, we wish to extend a cordial welcome to the members of the Junior High. Always ready to adopt the latest and most advanced systems of educational work, our directors have instituted this new idea, whereby those students who have previously gone from the Sixth to the Seventh grade will hereafter advance directly from the Sixth to the Junior High school, this making six grades of common school work and six of high school work for each student, a diploma being granted at the end of each six-year term. This plan, we believe, is an excellent improvement in our educational system and it is the hope of all the higher classmen that these new students will enter early into the spirit of the high school and gain a higher incentive from their association with the members of the Senior High. In their literary, athletic and social life they are being greeted this year on an equal basis with the other classes and the benefits they gain from their affiliations in the different departments will depend entirely upon the interest they take and the willingness they manifest in sharing in these privileges. Already a number of these new students have shown their appreciation of their greater opportunities and arc making a fine showing wherever they are going into competition with the members of the upper classes. What About It? A golden opportunity is now within reach of every young man and woman in Grand Junction and vicinity who are of school age. If there is any doubt in the minds of any as to whether they should attend high school next year it should be cast aside at once. The following propositions will help to point out the best thing to do. The prizes of this life, in big things as well as little, are generally won on a very, very small margin of superiority, which is chiefly mental. There is no satisfactory substitute for knowledge. There is no knowledge, the possession of which, is of much value or the acquisition of which is of the slightest mental discipline, that can be acquired without some genuine individual initiative and some honest hard work sometime, somewhere. Remember that it is still harder to go up the moral and intellectual stairway because it is easier to go down than it was a quarter of a century ago. Going up requires energy, determination, and the exercise of the will which is the controller. In going down we do not have to choose e' cn, wc just drift, and there arc so many distractions and illusions on every hand that seem to make it easy and almost pleasant to drift down rather than row up the stream of progress. In times of greatest depression financial and otherwise the need cf an education is felt more and more keenly. The trained man and woman draws the most pay generally speaking. They are the last to be laid off and the first to be taken on when there is work to be done. This fact will become more and more true as the years roll by for there is rapidly being formed in this country an educational elite. The age in which we live is becoming more and more complex. This is true of the government, of all industry, and of our civic and social life. The years in which the boys and girls of today will spend their manhood and womanhood will be those of the expert, the technically trained, the specialist. 3E3E3E editorials 38 The Jack-of-all-trades is already a relict of the past. When you apply for a job these days about the first question that is put to you is “What is your specialty? Listen to college and university or normal students t«lk to each other and you will hear them discussing “majors. What is your major? is the vital question confronting every student who is preparing for an active career in the twentieth century. A celebrated chautauqua lecturer frequently makes an offer from the platform that he will guarantee a job paying a salary of $1,500 a year to any young man of good reputation in the audience who can speak and write the English. German and Spanish languages reasonably well. He said not long ago in Grand Junction that so far he had placed no one who had accepted his proposition in a position on this offer at less than $2,000. Each one should think seriously on this proposition and decide upon some constructive program that will fit him for the best opportunity that awaits him in the days or years to come. Everywhere the secondary school seems to be reaching down into the grades and making itself responsible for all school work beyond the sixth grade. Thousands of teachers and pupils each year are finding themselves enrolled and classified in Intermediate Schools of the high school type, in which seventh eighth and ninth grade work is done. The secondary school must go farther in its development. It should reach upward and organize all that is done to the end of what is now commonly the Sophomore year in college. All who study high school administration recognize the fact that the proper organization of courses of study is possibly only when the various forms of instruction which now duplicate and overlap and conflict in the high school and junior college are all organized as part of one coherent plan. Grand Junction should be interested in such a plan of organization. We arc so far from any institution of college rank that the young people of this vicinity who are fortunate enough to have the opportunity of attending higher institutions of learning do so at great expense to their parents and a very large number each year find it impossible to go away to school on account of railroad fare, the high cost of living in the city away from home, the tuition, and other large expenses connected with higher education. Also we must recognize the fact that the average high school graduate is too young to go out into a strange new world and make his own way. Consequently many put off leaving home, find jobs, receive promotions and in a few years hnd themselves so situated that they can not complete an education which was just begun in the high school. Grand Junction must have either a junior college that will give our young people the opportunity of completing at least two years of college work at home or else she must plan to extend the work of the high school so as to coyer this amount of work. When we do this it can be said that we are giving our own children advantages that arc commensurate with those of the great mass of children who are fortunate enough to be reared in communities where such advantages exist. Such a plan wiil not call for any expense which is prohibitive and the advantages are too numerous to discuss in this letter. Why not make Grand Junction the educational center of the great inland empire of which we are the metropolis? There is one thing however related to this discussion that I would like to urge upon the young people of this valley this year and this is a step toward the goal which I have outlined above. The course of study in the Grand Junction high school offers sufficient courses to give most high school graduates very profitable work for at least a year beyond the usual four-year course. I would therefore suggest to high school gratu-ates of our high school and of the other high schools of the valley the importance of doing additional high school work this coming year provided that they are unable to go away from home to attend a higher institution of learning. Such a plan will be a good thing for those who do not expect to attend college in the future and it will be a great advantage to those who go eventually. All who are interested in such a plan should come and talk the matter over at any time, the sooner the better because delay frequently causes us to miss our opportunities. (Ninety-nine Stewart Bros.
