Moulton. The Grand Junction High. School building is the finest and most complete high school building between Denver and Salt Lake City. It is a large thirty-six room building, built to take fare of the 550 high school students whom we have in our system. Our high, school is more than twice as large as any other high school in Western Colorado or Eastern Utah. The central unit, consisting of the heating plant, toilet system, assembly room to seat five hundred people, and eight recitation rooms, was built in 1011. The West wing, consisting of fourteen rooms, was built in 1017, and the East wing consisting of thirteen rooms, was built in 1020. This high school building is a modern school building, complete in every detail except that of a gymnasium and a larger auditorium. These will be built in the future. The construction of this present building could not have been any different from what it is because we need every available space in the present thirty-six room building to take care of the high school instruction. With the completion of a new wing in which we can have a gymnasium and a large auditorium we shall have as large and complete a school building as can be found in the state.

Idling.” School Work a Real Job QUPILS and parents sometimes fail to realize that school work is a real job and that IjL really affords enough actual material to consume the energy and take up the time of the pupil. Frequently we find pupils who enter school apparently in good faith and with a fair appreciation of what the school is able to do for those who avail themselves of the opportunities it affords, but back in their minds they have reserved the privilege of working at some outside job during half of their waking hours, or of fiddling away half of the waking hours in loafing or attending some frivolous social function or sentimental entertainment. Su h pupils are sure to fail. They cannot possibly make a success of school work when they are giving their time and energy to other things. Their experience so far as life's training is concerned will be like all who choose the foolish, trivial things, and then expect some day to realize something substantial out of the husks or “fool’s gold” which they foolishly collected. The school fails in a good many cases to secure results. The teachers and the entire school organization regret exceedingly the fact that it does fail to enlist the interest and attention of every individual. Failure is not the common thing, however. It is the exception to the general rule. The large majority of boys and girls in school win success, and it is from these good students that the world is systematically selecting its leadership. Now, when a student is failing in school, it is the business of the school to check up on the boy or girl to discover if possible the reasons. First, it is important to know whether the student is capable mentally of doing his work in school. This is a psychological problem. Then the next step is to find out how the student spends his time in school and out of school. It is necessary to know how much outside work is done by the individual, what his percentage of absence and tardiness is, whether he loafs his time away outside of school, and whether he keeps late hours on account of outside interests. The school must know all of these things in order to be able to place the responsibility for failure where it belongs. Card indexing is quite personal, but it is very necessary when accumulative information plays any part in the factors of success or failure. When a student is failing, it is necessary to bring him face to face with facts regarding his expenditure of time and energy. If he does not react favorably when his attention is called to these facts, then his case is practically hopeless. The following interview from Thomas A. Edison should make every school boy or girl sit down and meditate on his own school career, unless he is so confirmed a yap or bonehead that thinking is impossible. Mr. Edison was asked if he could give advice for success in life, and he answered as follows: “I can’t give any advice on that subject. If a young man has reached 21 and is dead mentally, no amount of advice, example or experience will ever change him in the slightest. If, at some period between 12 and 16 years of age, he can become interested in a subject and grow enthusiastic, then he will advance and become a high type of man. If not, his mental machinery will atrophy and he will become a mental ‘dead one’.” Good Schools Necessary J HE value of good schools to a community can-l J not be overestimated.

This year Or and Junction U going to begin the new period of growth that v � li make her ventuaoy a city of remarkable power and influence. We are beginning now to tap our real resources. Great wealth will continue to come from our fertile valleys, but this will now be greatly augmented by the wealth that lies in our mountains and in the bowels of the earth under our deserts. New people are becoming; Interested In the development of our bountiful natural resource . They are coming to Grand Junction to make a home and a fortune for themselves and the organizations they represent. Will they come and bring their families? This all depends upon the educational opportunities we have to offer their children, if we i an offer good schools, a good school organization, fine buildings, the best teachers and thorougn courses along all lines, they will come and live here. If not, these oil shale men. these petroleum people, these rnen of good sound business judgment will leave their families and children in educational centers like Denver, Moulder and Colorado Bpring-, and our new development will be largely a stag affair. We have no institution of higher learning like other cities that have grown up; therefore, we must develop our public school system so there whl he no doubt about its having and holding first rank. An efficient s� bool system does cost money, but It is worth all It coats. Without it, every child born and reared in the community starts out in life with a handicap that will he with him as long as he lives. This is the reason why we are trying to expand the school system and enlarge the scope of the whole school organisation, ho iim to make it appeal to the lass of people whom we desire to have interested In the welfare and prosperity of our city and community. If we can maintain first-clues school equipment and Secure well trained teachers, who will exert a strong influence over the lives of the pupils, and if we can offer a wide range of educational opportunities to children of school age, we will have the first and most important requisite for a city of some consequence. When Tulsa, Okla., began the growth that soon placed her in the first rank among the cities of that great state, she first expanded her school system so as to make it the best in the country. The next tiling site did was to go out to a neighboring town and buy Henry Kendall College and move it into Tulsa. This made her the great financ ial, industrial, commercial center and home building city ««( ttfgt ttrrttorx ll the other towns I or a ra din of tfcO miles and more became stag towns; some of them were as favorably located as Tulsa, but they did not have sense enough to develop the things that are necessary where children are reared and educated. Today Tulsa business men go hack and forth over a large territory, looking after their oil wells, refineries, rectories and other places of business, but their families live in Tulsa, where the best educational opportunities are offered This is the way all real cities are built, and Grand Junction must profit hy the example of those that have made a success of city building. 1 cam 15lay in the Class Room IV have all seen fine, interesting and enteral 7 :a-.nlng basketball games this past season. What was it that made those games so Interesting? It was the fine team work of the players. We can have our school work as Interesting and as entevtaining. if we will work together as we would if we were playing an athletic game. Team work counts as much in the class room as elsewhere. if we are working to win. W'e would not keep a player on our basketball tea n if he would not work with the rest: so why should we keep KATHARVXK BROWN “Jumbo” Glee Club (1) (2) (3) (4) Operetta (1) (2) (3) (4) Ju«t Snap Your Fingers at Care.” M tHCTS HltOW X “Monk Exchange Editor of Orange and Black (4) “I Strive Each Day.” CATHKRIXK RKV.E “Oat (Pee Gab iM «2♦ 3 «) Orchestra t 2 ■ tJD Operetta 11 11 ill 11 Hoc!-Ross Business College 4414 “Now and Then.

We go in there a great deal of the time knowing nothing about the day’s lesson. Our instructor wears herself and her patience out trying to pull what little we do know out of us. We term her cranky at these times. A few enter into a discussion, speaking so low or just to the teacher that the rest cannot hear, or don’t try to do so; they either sleep or carry on a conversation with their neighbors. We are bored to death and heave a sigh of relief when the bell rings to pass. So; let us change our ways and make this class the most interesting of the day by good strong team work. Most of us are in the habit of bringing to the class just what is required of us—no more. The more preparation and individual responsibility that is put into our school work the more interesting it will become. If we fail to prepare our day’s work, it too often means that we are too lazy to make the effort. What athletic team would tolerate a member who was too lazy to get up to play? Like the lazy one is a student who does not volunteer to share his knowledge because he is not required to recite, though offering it would add to the interest of the class. When one of us is called upon to recite, we often just make a statement of facts. It is all right, perhaps, but to some it means nothing. Why not explain your statements? They would be much more interesting and therefore remembered longer. We lack individuality and independence. We show this by making an effort to say what we think we should say, rather than what we really think. We all make a great mistake by not reciting for fear we may not be right. This is not showing the team spirit. Because we are afraid of making mistakes—afraid to ask questions,— many suggestions of value are lost and many points of importance are left undiscussed. The habit of laughing that some of us have when an individual makes a mistake, or asks a question that to us seems simple, has a tendency to add fear to the person, who in time will refuse to recite. It is a breach of courtesy on our part and shows very poor taste. A hypercritical attitude, either of amusement or contempt, creates an atmosphere that makes good team work almost impossible. It is such little acts of unkindness, discourtesy or inattention that rob work of its pleasure. Those who indulge in them should realize that they are taking time from someone who may wish to put it to good use, even if they do not care to do so. Our instructor has her moods as well as we do. She has a great many different qualities of ability and preparation to meet in the class. She is aware that the brighter students of the class are bored when she is trying to get the best from the dullest student. The more brilliant students should remember that they are not the only ones in the class to be considered, and that it is their duty not only to advance themselves but also to help the teacher to encourage the duller student. Team play always means subordination of self-interest to the general welfare. By practicing these steps in team work we can learn kindness, unselfishness and courtesy and find interest in our work. It is not only our instructors who should be courteous to their students and their opinions, but students should be courteous to one another and to our instructors. By following this suggestion, I believe a greater interest and pleasure would come from our school work. —Marjorie Paige. The Boosters’ Club of This Year and Next believe in the Boosters’ Club because it has contributed much to the fine school spirit of our High School. It has frequently had charge of the assembly meetings, and these meetings have awakened a great deal of enthusiasm for various THERON BORSCHEI I. “The Mamma’s Boy.” HELEN BIRDS ALL “Amelia” Operetta 1 (2) (3) (4) Glee Club (1) (2) (3) (4) Vice Pres.

The club has often secured speakers who have addressed the school on popular themes that are closely related to school life and activities. We believe these popular addresses have in some instances made a lasting impression and have been well worth while. What we are much concerned about now is what this organization shall bring to pass during the next school year. A good beginning has been made and those who are in charge of the club next year will be responsible for the success of the movement. A program has been outlined, the purpose of which is to awaken a friendly spirit of rivalry in scholarship and athletics. It is up to the students to get back of this movement in an enthusiastic way and so raise still higher the standard of our school in all its different lines. This program, which consists of a contest carried on the entire year by the four different classes of the High School, is published elsewhere in this issue. Every one should read it over, so as to understand it from the first. This has been approved of by those in charge of the school, so will be put into effect as soon as school begins next fall. The class which succeeds in earning the largest number of points by the end of the school year will be declared the winner and'Vill receive some appropriate prize, such as a bronze plate or shield. Then different individuals, in whatever class they are, who earn the highest number of points will also receive some trophy. In this way the individual standard will be raised, as well as the class standard. The best time for these prizes to be given out would be Commencement day. These points are divided in such a way that the class or individual which wins must do so by good work in all lines. In this way one cannot win by physical or mental prowess alone. A grand total of 100 points will start the contest in the fall. This will be given to the class which wins in a contest, such as a tug of war or a bag rush. So be on hand next fall to help your class win the 100 points. The Boosters Club has commanded the respect and enlisted the interest of the school in that it has earned and wisely expended $2,851.11 during the past year. If the club would continue to hold the respect of all and win increased favor during the coming year, it must not only raise a considerable amount of money, but it must use this money wisely and effectively. It is a source of gratification that the story of the club’s activities has gone to other schools of the state and has won the approval of wide-awake faculties and students and has awakened a desire for a like organization. Grand Junction High School may be proud that it has taken the initiative in so popular and practical a movement. Our successes this year present a strong appeal for yet greater activities in the years to come. Those of us who are leaving regret the parting from our capable faculty and body of students, and we would commit to you this wonderful opportunity and great responsibility in your next year’s school work. Five-Dollar Reward H REWARD of five dollars has been offered by the Boosters’ Club for the best name which is submitted and chosen for the following school spirit program. This is open to all students, and all names submitted must be in soon after school starts next fall. The following program has been worked out to increase the standard of the school, the class and individual in scholarship and literary abilities, as well as athletics. Especially does it develop the individual, for the class is depending upon each student to do his best, and only in this way will a class win. The contest will begin in the fall with the Class Rush, and from then on students will be kept posted on the standing of the classes by a bulletin board or chart which the Boosters’ Club will have in charge. The club will supervise the contest and HI RNETTE DII.I.OX Bert” Pomp and Circumstance. WALTER FORRY “Snapperback Football (3) (4) Operetta (3) Minstrel Show (3) Sgt. at Arms (4) Treas.

The class officers will be responsible for an accurate account of all points the members of the class make, and they will be aided by the faculty and officers of the Boosters’ Club. Following is the program as it has been outlined, giving the number of points made and, in some cases lost, by the class and by individuals. It would be well if each class would have a bulletin board of its own. In this way the classes could do more advertising and the contest could be carried on in a more business-like way. After reading the outline over, all will, no doubt, understand the plan. All points made by the class during the year will be added to the sum total of points which the class has and in this way the class which has the largest number of points will win.

The Emerald Class of '24 XN September, 1920, the Emerald Class of 24 started its lively career. We really imagined that we were pretty well up on the various phases of high school life and were extremely conscious of our superiority over our fellow students. Alas! he murmured a precious truth who said “Ignorance is bliss.” The Freshman today is a typical example of the ruin that can be made by tireless A-expecting teachers. We sit in Algebra, Latin. English and History classes daily, and daily the thot of our wrongs weighs more heavily on our shoulders. Some of us develop long, careworn faces and a sorrowful countenance. We glower in envy at our more intelligent students who have a multitude of As. Still, when the morose Sophomore confides to us his troubles, when the tearful Junior prepares us for the worst and when the wise but nevertheless despondent Senior sobs into our ear his tale of woe, we brace up and think maybe it’s not so bad after all. We have, however, made an extensive display of our knowledge when we chose the most worthy Eugene Mast for our Freshman president. He has also distinguished himself as an orator. Now, dear reader, to show you the extent of our importance and the impression we have made on the High School, I will say that in the last two months the Seniors have actually spoken to one or two members of our class when they met them on the public sidewalk! Does this not prove the esteem in which we are held? We have had a splendid corps of teachers, and to them wo will lay without reservations the entire praise and honor which our mental superiority has excited, and we wish anyone who realizes the importance of the Freshman Class to give them the credit! Now we have reached the end of our year. We are sad, but still the experience has given each member of our class memories which will brighten his entire life. and. when we are all grandfathers and grandmothers, with smooth crowns or silver plumes, we can call our grandchildren hither and relate to them the marvelous intelligence and the extraordinary achievements made by the Class of 24. —Dalton Trumbo, ’24. Sophomore Class History XN the month of September, in the year of Our Ix rd nineteen hundred and twenty, over a hundred small students signed our names to the enrollment list of the Class of ’23 and with Freshman inquisitiveness began to pry into the many volumes of wisdom contained in the Grand Junction High School. A few days sufficing to satisfy our curiosity, we proceeded to store in the limited capacity of our brain cells as much book lore as their small dimensions would allow. Aided by our very competent teachers, we progressed rapidly and, although our president, Milo Wormell, left us before his term of office was completed, and a miscalculation on the weather proved quite disastrous to our Freshman picnic, the first year was completed without further mishaps. We returned the following year only to find that each and every one of our Ninth Grade teachers had escaped to parts unknown. Whether they were frightened away by the dazzling brilliancy of our intellectual achievements or for some other reason remains to be learned. However, we entered our new classes unpreceded by any slanderous hints from teachers’ tongues to detract from our dignity as Sophomores.

Our ability to adapt our talent to any line, no matter how unnatural, was displayed in the Sophomore Baby Show. Our athletes have made an especially good showing, as the track team which brought home the cups from Montrose were nearly all Sophs. Although we, as Sophomores, have broken many records and greatly broadened our brain capacity, we feel that we have trod long enough between the straight narrow paths of geometry's parallel lines and have composed, recomposed and decomposed until our literary arts are exhausted, and it is with a feeling of heartfelt pleasure that we extend the invitation to our less learned friends to explore the depths of Sophomore learning while we pass on to the more elevated standing of Juniors. M. F. Junior Class History rf September, 1918, a little band of knowledge seeking pilgrims wended their weary way to the High School building for the first time. Perhaps they were green, perhaps not; at any rate they are green no longer. In a short while they lost their awe of the upper-classmen and began to make their presence felt. They elected officers, supported the athletic events and learned the art of “cutting class” and “bluffing.” Then they began to think of social affairs, and, not wanting to experiment on upper-classmen, they turned their attention to the eighth-graders, and in February they royally entertained the Sophs of today at a costume affair which proved a great success. Emboldened by their brilliant achievements, they began to contribute to the Orange and Black. And so they rounded out their Freshman year. They came back again in the fall as Sophs and were given the privilege of sitting among Juniors and Seniors. They pored over the well-thumbed books and learned by heart the propositions in Geometry. They astounded the teachers by their knowledge, and Miss Taylor went so far as to say they were the brightest Latin students she had ever had. They brought forth students of amazing ability in the different arts. Karl Purcell was unexcelled as a cartoonist; Harold House is destined to have a great career as a singer; then there is the violinist, Forrest Leffingwell, and there are countless others. But time went quickly, and the end of the year rolled around, and once again they prepared to depart; but not without some celebration, for in June they held a great feast at the Y. M. C. A., their last meeting as Sophomores. Lo, they are now mighty Juniors: they are no longer considered as children: they choose their own subjects, and walk with high-held heads among the students. They have two members on the O. B. staff, and the three leading men in the Operetta were chosen from their ranks. At the Piggleteria they raised a larger amount than any other class. They have twice entertained the Seniors—once at a barn dance and once at a farewell banquet. And now they are preparing to dose their Junior year. They will soon be Seniors! They have had a glorious past and are looking forward to a glorious future, because they are the best class which has ever been in G. J. H. S.—the Class of '22! Senior Class History OPEN the portals of Memory; Come back to long, long ago, So I can tell you the history Of how the poor Freshies grow. Back in dear '19 and '17 Freshies we were, green as grass; Up at the H. S. a-fixing To find where to stay in that mass.

Then came the first Freshman picnic: How we all flocked to the mine At the historical Book Cliff— How our green faces did shine. Then we became brainy Sophomores, Heads grown as big as balloon Struggling sadly on Life’s stormy shores. Learning of ignorance looms. From Sophs we soon became Juniors, Some leaving, some joining ur class; All working so hard to be Seniors, To which we aspired to the last. And, when we became mighty Seniors, With brows wrinkled sadly from care. And looks that bespoke of much knowledge That made the poor Freshies stare, Then twas a year good and peppy, With parties and dances and things— A slouch day made very snappy By tests that our eyebrows did singe. The play and the fine operetta Both helped give our school a name, And all by the Seniors made peppy— The Seniors who gave H. S. its fame. So, now, as we Seniors are leaving, Embarking on Life’s stormy sea, We hope that our school keeps on growing And the best in the state forever will be. J. V. C.

Class Prophecy of 1935 SS I was traveling thru France in 1935, I heard that one of my school chums from our English class of 1921 had taken suddenly ill with appendicitis and had to have an operation. 1 decided I would go to see her before the operation was performed. I hastened to Paris, and as I arrived I inquired for the Collier Allen Hospital, for that was the one she was to be taken to. I was delayed in trying to find it among so many high buildings. I at last reached the four-story edifice of white stone, and rushed up the.steps fearing it was too late. I was told they were just preparing for the operation, and I hastened to the operating room, knocked, and the door slowly opened. I rubbed my eyes to see if I saw just right, for before me stood Neva Collier and her head nurse, Dorothy Allen. On leaving the hospital, Dr. Collier insisted on our spending the evening together; so we decided to go to the I a Paris; Marguerite Schaefer, the prima donna, was going to sing. As we alighted from the taxi, I glanced across the street and read in glaring headlines. Here tonite, Madam Masell Frances Lumilda McAllister, the wonderful toe dancer, and Monsieur J. I ogan. I grabbed my companion’s arm and said, Surely that can’t be the Lumilda and John of our 1921 English class. Dr. Collier said she didn’t know; so we decided to hear the great prima donna first and then see the dancers later. Yes, they were the same Lumilda and John, only somewhat older. The next morning, while sitting in my boudoir I heard the newsboy cry, Extra. Extra, Extra!— the Great—’’ I didn’t wait to hear any more: I A. ' “ M I1I.E MERERS Maybelle Hoel-Ross Business Col.

There in large print I read: “Harold Struthers. the champion of the I . S.. will match his skill with Monsieur Rochell; $25 a ticket; come early to avoid the rush.” I wanted to go, but thot I’d buy a new suit for the occasion; so I proceeded to a modiste’s shop. A small clerk with black eyes came forward to wait on me, and, to my great surprise, 1 found she was Daisy Green. She said she w ould rather clerk than spend her life on Mars. The next morning I decided to go to I� ndon and then back to the United States; but, reading in the morning paper that Miss Emma Groom, the superintendent of the Paris schools, was going to give a lecture on “How Freshmen Should Care for Their Books,” I decided to go and hear it. As she stepped on the platform I noticed she had that same sweet smile, but that fourteen years had changed her locks of hair to silver. That evening 1 left for London, and the next morning 1 went to the bank to get a draft cashed. A very pleasant lady was standing in the cashier’s booth; I at once recognized her to be my old friend, Anna Gormley. She said she was staying with Rev. Wilbur Wages and his wife. The next morning I took the steamer for the U. S. 1 regretted very much to leave my old friends behind. The steamer had not been plowing homeward very many hours before I met another old acquaintance. He appeared all of a sudden, with a beautiful young girl walking by his side, and who should it be but Francis Freezen, the wealthy steel magnate. He told me he had recently married the noted English beauty, Lady Nancy of Devonshire, and that they were returning to their native country. Now I am back in the United States again. In Boston I had some difficulty in crossing Broadway: the traffic police helped me across and who should it be but John Udlock, my esteemed schoolmate. I took the train for Chicago and on the way I met Douglas Armstrong. He said he was a traveling salesman for a broom factory. I asked him if he knew anything about our old school friends and he told me that Dale Dudley was a piano tuner for the Stark Grand Piano Company, and Miley Keough had settled down on a small farm in Wisconsin. I stopped at Cairo, 111., to see Alice Campbell, Orphia Miller and Dorothy Martin: they had a private school for girls. Prof. Ward teaches and Bessie Payne teaches public speaking, and Florence Sanyh vocal and instrumental music. While there I had a dreadful toothache and was told to go to Dr. Mullnix, the prominent young dentist. While in his office I met Messrs. McAllister and McFall; they told me they were selling a preparation to make the hair curl. If you look at their hair you will know that it does as advertised. The following day I went to see the great baseball game of the season. While there 1 saw Clarence Hanson. He told me that Carroll Vannice and Albert Barber were members of the Sells Floto circus and they were fine tight-rope walkers. He said he was teaching algebra in Nashville. At St. Louis we met Clinton Anderson. He told me of his cold-cream and perfume factory. He said that Riehwood Coppel was elected superintendent of agriculture, and that Henry Tupper was chef at the Hotel Midard. At Denver I met Harry Ashley, a traveling salesman for the Brown Mousetrap Company. My next stop was Grand Junction, and it was sure nice to get back home again. I will finish my nurse’s course and then go to Paris to help Dr. Collier in her work. —Neva Collier and Barbara Sullivan. The Business Men J HE staff wishes to take this opportunity of J thanking the business men of Grand Junction for their support during the past year.

Senior Short Story SilDLEY Callahan, William’s son, married Mack Donald's daughter, Manzanita, called Mantey ’ for short. Immediately after the wedding they set off on a honeymoon of happiness and Bliss in Ridley's new Mitchell car. They intended to drive to Dexter, the next town, where they would spend the Knight. The roads were Good for a few miles, but they finally came to a Marsh. This served as a Barr-ier to their further progress. They stopped the car and made plans what to do. A moment later a Rig (Rigg) came along and they retognized in it their friend Hampson Gilpatrick. He said he would drive thru the Marsh first and see how deep it was. It was not very deep, so Ridley drove thru. They met, ou the other side, a Hale and hearty old man herding some Shropshire l ambs. They then drove on to Dexter. On arriving at that place they went to the Boyer Hotel for dinner. The hotel clerk and the proprietor were quarreling. The proprietor had asked the clerk to serve. She had become angry and cried out: “Me serve? Noe, in- deed not. i'll quit first.” However, he finally persuaded her to serve. She showed her spite by spilling Molten (Moulton) hot coffee on Ridley’s neck, l ater on his neck swelled up from the Burns. The meal was a miserable failure, and, besides, cost a big Price. The bread was Rye and (Ryan) the fish were half done. Ridley was disgusted and called the waitress. She was behind a curtain and there Ridley found the stable-boy, Mick, Kissen' her He stuttered, “This—er—this Fish—er—is half done.” She said she didn’t give a Derryberry, for she never cooked it. She was Stark mad. Ridley was so disgusted he took his little wife and they went to the Palmer hotel. On the way they met a man singing. Ridley asked him why he was so happy; he said he was a Freed man after twenty years looking between the Barrs. They asked him why he had been put in prison. He said that he had happened to Steele Wool-fort-y (Woklfort) or more times from a Miser without being (aught; but one day the Major’s army was walking thru the woods and saw him with the wool. The man cried out, Don’t lay Hands on (Hanson) me!” but the Major grabbed Holt of him, and, tying him to the Whipple-tree of his carriage, took him into town. The man now freed was very happy. He told a story of Mike and Pat on (Patton) a sea voyage in a large sail-boat. They were discussing what the Mast was for. Mike said it was for the Boosters’ Club as their president. Pat said: “Oh Moike, yer wits Will Helm (Wilhelm) me over some day. Ye shure are a humorous •Creature (Cretcher).” Thereupon Pat hit Mike over the head with the Shank of his hammer. Ridley and his wife went on to the Palmer Hotel. They passed an irate old baker. Some boys had broken his window. He was waving his hands and crying: “Glass co-sts money! Glass co-sts Kale (Kehl).“ Ridley and Mantey saw some small boys hiding behind a barrel. One said to the other: “Hide John (Hidgeon), or he'll see you. The old scalla-Wag leers (Wagler) this way. He sure is be-Willard (bewildered) how it got broken. Some day let’s Foray (Forry) his windows again. This is fun.” We will close here with their troubles. After three weeks’ honeymoon, they went to their little Brown home, with their Love Lore (Loeffler), where they lived very happily. Ridley’s college chum, Rogers Hoekett, and his wife lived next door to them. Rogers had been married to Jones' Haas’ daughter. They had three children—very nice they were, � oo. There was the oldest, Peabody: then Adamson, and Veatchey, the youngest Mrs. Roger Hoekett described Veatchy to me. She said, She is a very bright, happy girl and her Hair is (Harris) black as coal.” It is now twelve years since Ridley and Mantey were married: it seems but a day. Some time ago I visited them. They have three beautiful children. Cambell-a is the oldest, being ten; Borschell is eight, and McClain just passed his second birthday.

One of the most delightful picnics of early spring was enjoyed by a group of young people at Liberty Cap a few nights ago. Four cars took the young people over in the afternoon, where they spent until supper-time climbing and hiking. The usual picnic lunch was served at 6, and games and stories took up the remainder of the evening. Those who enjoyed the affair were the Misses Helen Higgens, Lucile Jones, Grace Glasco, Isabella Moulton, Beth Derryberry, Helen Birdsall. Dorothy Shanks, Catherine Benge and Marion Mitchell; Messrs. Wendell Smith, Glen McFall, Ingram McClain, Ira De Long, Charles Major, Burton Miller, Joey Jones, Lloyd Harvey and Harold House. They were chaperoned by Mrs. Mitchell and Miss Hazel Ela.

B. staff left a neat little sum in the bank, and this year we hope to do the same. This sum is not designated for any sole purpose, but it has been suggested that it be used for starting a fund for a printing press. This would be a very fitting use for it. If a first-class printing press were secured, a great expense would be saved annually, and it would only be a matter of a few years before the press would pay for itself. Besides printing the High School paper, all bulletins, programs, advertisements, etc., would be printed here in our own school and the expense of having it done elsewhere avoided. If the opportunity were only given, there are many students who would like to study printing and newspaper work. In some high schools they have classes in these subjects and put out note-books which sell at about three cents profit.

The Last Day of School CHE last day of school had arrived, and outside the door of the little log school an assembly of boys and girls and parents stirred restlessly and noisily about, waiting for the schoolmaster to come and unlock the door. Every one was dressed in his starchy, newest clothes, and some uncomfortable-looking specimens were in evidence. Jud Baker, who appeared every day in school in a hickory shirt and patched homespun trousers, and clumsy shoes when he was not barefooted, was now arrayed in a white shirt—from Heaven knows where,—a rusty, black coat and a derby hat, evidently resurrected from his father's wedding attire. Two boys, on the lookout in the old oak tree at the gate, heralded the approach of the master, and turmoil followed the announcement—frantic mothers seized excited young hopefuls and put useless touches to their disordered appearance. Slowly the master drew near, walking carefully and basking to the last degree in the reverence due his superior wisdom. He realized fully how dreaded was his approach on any day save this. In one corner by the lilac bush, a group of the most abused assembled, and, as Master Finch drew near, they broke with that age-old chant which assuages all previous insults: “Good-bye Latin, Good-bye French, Good-bye hard old hick’ry bench. Good-bye scholars. Good-bye school, Good-bye teacher—darn ole fool!” The more timid of the children stood on the beaten path and gazed with wide-eyed admiration on the brave boys who so dared to taunt the master. He was ignoring the song with a magnificence of long years’ practice and prolonging the enjoyable ceremony of opening the door for the last time, till the next fall: then the door swung open and a general in-rush followed. The school room had been scrubbed clean and only a few “hard-boiled” spit-wads clung to the ceiling. The benches were arranged in rows along the room, and everything had been taken from the platform save the master’s desk and a geography globe. As soon as everyone was seated and the noise had somewhat subsided, the master came to the front of the platform and made a short speech which affected every pupil the wrong way. For who could listen to the master’s voice harshly administering rebukes and scathing remarks, without comparing it with the school the following term. On closing his speech, the master said, in a pompous tone: “Bessie Brady will now give a recitation, ‘MableV Amid a patter of applause, Bessie made her way to the front of the platform and, clasping her hands before her, began to speak in a trembling voice. “Mable, gentle Mable—” but then she lost control of her voice and stopped, clutching nervously at her dress. Drawing a deep breath, she began again: “Mable, gentle Mable, with her face against the pane.” A great tear started in each of Bessie’s eyes, and she stopped, gaspingly, once more.

John James arose with alacrity, came to the front and stopped a moment to give emphasis to the piece. A sudden jerk attracted the audience, and John J. sprang far to one side and screamed, “Cannon to the right of them! clenching his hands and baring set teeth.

Many years have passed, and the old school is replaced by a pretty, many-roomed, brick building, and many teachers take Master Finch’s lone glory from him; but still, as each year rolls by, the same spirit of freedom and the same heartiness of good-byes bring cheer into the hearts of the school-weary children. Years will still roll on, but ever will rejoicing continue to follow the last day of school. —Agnes Robinson. Rippling River IT'S a good ideal. Uncle, I Know; but how’s a fellow to reach it when he keeps running along the same line of drudgery day after day?” Melvin had just reached the age when life’s responsibilities began to thrust themselves upon him uninvited. The ideal was a high one and might be partially expressed something like this: “Be sure and leave the world better than you found it. In times like this Melvin always found comfort and help from his chum. Uncle Ned, who was a boy with him, altho time had left silver traces in his hair and care had wrinkled his once smooth forehead. The evening sun had just dropped below the mountain range. The grove along the banks of Ripple River was noiseless except for the occasional croak of a frog or flutter of a belated bird seeking its nesting place. Thru the grove, however, ran the merry waters of Ripple River, always in the same course, singing as it went. On the bank of this little stream stood two chums—a youth and an old man,—discussing the problems of life in boy style, tho silence did much of the talking. When the boy finished his question, there was a period of silence, during which time the silence deepened, a small fish splashed a little way up the stream and a waking owl gave forth its mysterious call. The old man drew the boy down to a seat on the grassy bank and retained his hold on his arm. “Do you know, he began slowly, “there was a time when no stream flowed, gurgling along this course at our feet; when no leafy groves nor grassy hollows along this lowland breathed forth the fragrance of life; when, thru wonderful changing of the earth’s surface, those mountains loomed up in the distance yonder and cooled the passing clouds so that they yielded their moisture and a drop of water started on its way down this side of the mountain? “Joined by a million others, it formed a brook and came laughing on. When it reached the foothills, it found a land that was fertile, but arid because it needed moisture. The brook moistened the parched soil and pushed on in its narrow path. Grass began to grow beside it. It had brought life! “Another stream joined it and it became a river; but still it pushed onward. A fainting lily drooped MADLE WILHELM The Critic” Mt.

One of the ripples, leaping, bathed the heated bloom and It smiled, refreshed. The river had brought health! “Still the stream flowed on. while grass, trees, flowers and birds found enjoyment beside it. A little child lay on the bank, looking down into its pure, transparent depths, while the laughing gurgle of the running water made music to his young ears. He turned to his mother with the shining eyes and asked, ‘What does it?’ ‘The ripples,’ she answered. “ ‘Then,’ he cried, gleefully, ‘let's call it Rippling River!’ and they did. It had brought happiness!” “Oh, I see now,” said Melvin- after a moment. I should give life by administering to those around me the service and spirit which will make real life out of mere existence. Then, by administering that same spirit and service to the sick at heart, I should imbue the broken spirit with health. Not content with that, I should scatter that same joyful spirit where anticipation awaits, and cause it to break forth into lasting happiness. In this way I can help the least and the best, tho I still go on in my narrow channel.” There was silence.

This was more than twice that of last year. The Agriculture class has had some fine trips during the past month that were very beneficial and enjoyable to the whole class. About the best trip we took was one to Ed Weckel’s poultry ranch the other side of Fruita. We went down about 12 o’clock in cars furnished by the different members of the class. After observing the method Mr. Weck-el uses in feeding his poultry, we went down into his incubator room, where there were nearly 2,000 baby chicks hatching. About 4 o’clock we motored back to town. This was, perhaps, the longest and best trip the class has had the pleasure of taking. On April 1st the Junior class in Agriculture began their work in farm accounting. This is a Senior subject; but, as we started the Agriculture course in our Sophomore year, we have to take two courses in one year. We find this course a very interesting subject and perhaps the most vital in agriculture work. In the Farm Machinery class we have had quite a lot of very practical work, studying tractors, engines and other branches of machinery. We have worked on the Sampson, Titan, Moline, Cletrac and the Fordson tractors; also the Beeman garden tractor at the Buick garage. We have also had the International and the Fairbanks-Morse stationary engines. All kinds of harvesting machinery have been studied and we are now at work on the machinery used in the spring, such as drills and planters. — On the 19th Mr. Davies of Ft. Collins was here inspecting our work and making his report for the government; he spoke very favorably of our work here. ------- Perhaps you have noticed that we have had quite a number of interesting lessons illustrated with slide pictures. These came from the government, and there have been a number of lessons illustrated in this way. We have had slides on Sheep, Hogs, Cows, Dairying, Horses, Poultry and Flies. You might ask any member of the class, including Mr. Leiper, where they were the day the airplane was here, when it rained so much. Someone also might ask Harold Burgess how he likes to drive the big Studebaker in the mud.. JNE, 1921, closes the second year of vocational training in Agriculture in our High School. Thus far the work has met with favor by the students, the school administration and the community at large. The registration of the course has been the heaviest in the state with 48 students for the year 1920-21. Our local board has been assured the sanction of a second instructor for this Smith-Hughes course. This will make it possible for our school to offer a full three years course in Agriculture. The second instructor will be a man specially trained in Horticulture and Entomology. With Mr. Leiper, who is a graduate in Animal Husbandry, and another instructor trained in Horticulture and Entomology, our school will need to offer no apologies for her Vocational Agriculture. One change has been made in the course: Be- ginning September, 1921, all beginning students registered for Vocational Agriculture must be Sophomores with a credit in Biology from the ninth grade. This arrangement of the course will make it possible for the beginning student to be prepared to take up the work with a far better understanding of its purpose and content. The following is an outline of the four years’ course in Vocational Agriculture: First year— English IX. General Mathematics. Biology. Economic Civics. Second year— Vocational (two credits). Animal production. Farm shop. Related pioject thruout year. Xon-Vocational (two cred.ts). English. One elective. Third year— Vocational (two credits). Crop production. Soils of the Grand Valley.

The Montrose Contest Y Friday noon Montrose was fast filling up: every available hotel was overflowing and eating business houses were doing a whirlwind business. But before noon the news had been bumming over the wire that Wallace Mast of (� . J. H. S. had captured first place in the oratorical declamation contest that morning and that Farrie Veatch had done fine work Thursday night in the argumentative but had failed to place. Everybody awaited the outcome of the afternoon original oration and were very disappointed when our entry, Harry Peabody, failed to place. That night Gladys Palmer took second in a hard fought battle in dramatic declamation. Our hopes were revived by Gladys’ victory and congratulations were showered upon her by everybody. And then—rain—cold—no sun—hail—snow— V ever’thing. The track meet looked like a thing of the past or of the indefinite future. But Saturday morning dawned clear and cold. Shivering, we went out to see the preliminaries; shivering, we watched the eliminations; and frozen we went home. Our team showed up great and placed men in all the events except the mile run, hurdles, discus and pole vault.. We trotted down to the Silver Grill; got thawed out and filled up, and went back to the fair grounds for the final meet—the big showdown. People everywhere, colors everywhere, and noise—well, you should have heard it. Every team went in to win, and of all close track meets this one wins the rubber crowbar. The first event was the hundred-yard dash. Gunnison put a man in ahead of Jones (the big bums!), with Montrose coming third. In the shot put, Sherman lost to Killian of Delta by one-tenth of an inch, with Gunnison third. Then in the 220-yard dash we showed ’em up—Ted Jones got first and Hampson third. In the 4 40-yard dash we had to content ourselves with second; but in the 880-yard run Addleman pulled in first and the Junction rooters went wild. In the javelin throw, Friedman won an easy first, with Major third. Friedman and Jones received second and third places in the high jump, much to the satisfaction of our gang. And then the relay, with three teams represented—Delta, Gunnison and G. J. H. S.,—was the deciding point of the meet. Our team was composed of Jones, Hampson, Hinton and Addleman. The starter’s pistol cracked, and a red-headed Gun- WESTERN SLOPE BASKET BALL CHAMPIONS 1921 Front Row—Glen McFall, Harold House, Ted Jones, Clias. Major, Rollin Shanks. Second Row—W. T.

Jones ran like a deer and finished up with the Delta bird; but Gunnison had a rod lead on us. Hampson started on the second lap, reduced that rod by one-half; then, in the third lap, Hinton lowered the distance still more. Addleman started the finish with a leap. He and the Gunnison man ran neck to neck for a while, with the Delta man trailing back in the distance somewhere. But, luck of all lucks—Gunnison finished a little bit before Addleman, and we received second, which won us the track meet by four points. Junction has won!—Delta has the three-year cup no more—Gunnison and Montrose feel unnecessary —Olathe. Paonia and Telluride feel quite a bit worse. We tore down the quiet boulevards of Montrose, raising the dickens—G. J. H. S. had won the Western Slope Championship in track and would get a chance to try for the state title. That night the climax of the speaking contests had arrived with the humorous declamation. Our entry (and we were betting on her) was Beth Der-ryberry. She did fine and took third place for Junction, giving us fourth place in the declamatory contests. After the contests a big dance was given for the members of the track teams. This was only a small part of the hospitality Montrose showed us. They were just as cordial as it was possible for a town to be. After humming around Montrose, Olathe and Delta during Saturday night and Sunday morning, we came home happy, victorious and dead—for sleep. G. J. H. S. was deefated by Fruita H. S. by a score of 10 to 5 in a baseball game played at the fair grounds on Wednesday, May llth, in a hard fought battle for supremacy. We get one more chance at Fruita and, believe me! we are going to take it. Junction vs. Olathe OCR first baseball game of this season was pulled off at the fair grounds on Friday afternoon, April 30th. The results were not quite as satisfactory as we had hoped for, because Olathe won, but only by the narrow score of 10 to 8. This was not bad at all, considering that our team had only had one practice together and that Olathe had been at it for quite a while. The team is going to win the next game. The line-ups were as follows: Olathe—Metcalf, c; Neal, p; Manniel, lb; Hyatt, 2b; Adams, ss; McLaughlin, 3b; Picker, rf; Coffman, cf; Harrel, If. Grand Junction-—Major, c; Smith. McFall, McBride, p; Hockett, lb; McClain, 2b; (Mark, ss; Draper, 3b; Sanders, rf; McKinnon, Ulmer, cf; McBride, McFall, If. One of the largest crowds C . J. H. S. ever turned out to see a baseball game witnessed the first run of the season made by Skank McClain. The game from start to finish was exciting, the teams often running even. Major, Hockett, McBride, Sanders, (Mark and McClain were the heavy hitters for us in this game. At the end of the first inning the score stood 3 to 1 in Olathe’s favor; the second ended 3 to 2, and in the third inning our team tied the score, 3 to 3. From then on until the seventh inning the score ran very close. At the WESTERN SLOPE BASKET BALL CHAMPIONS 1921 Sitting—Verna Dills.

They made it 10 to 5 in the eighth, but received nothing the first part of the ninth. However, Junction picked up and made three runs, which made the score 10 to 8 in favor of our opponents. Our boys certainly scrapped, but practice tells, and it did. But we hope it won’t be the same story next time. TRACK MEET After the baseball game, Olathe had high hopes of winning the trio track meet held on Saturday afternoon—the day after the ball game. But it was not to be. Neither Glenwood nor Olathe was destined to win this scrap. Glenwood boasted such a fine track team that they paid their own way down here for the privilege of meeting our team. They received their honors—Junction took first and Olathe second. The contests were very close and exciting all the time. Some of the features to be remembered are the way Addleman picked up on the home stretch; the way Friedman goes over the bamboo pole in the high jump, also Jones and Van-nice; Hinton, Keough and Hampson also added points to our side by their fine work. Vannice especially should be mentioned in the mile run; he is small but fast, and will make one of the fastest railers our school ever had. Our school sure has a fine track team this year, and, with the support of the student body, is going to win at Montrose and then at Boulder. Olathe has a fine track team also. Glenwood did not show up as we expected her to, but she was at a great disadvantage. The points of the track meet were as follows: Grand Junction, 67; Olathe, 49; Glenwood, 9. The individual honor man was Addleman of G. J. H. S. with 18 points; Hyatt of Olathe was second with 15 points, while Jones of G. J. H. S. and Picker of Olathe tied for third place with 10 points each. IBooks good, doesn’t it? Well, anyway, we made up for baseball and football defeats, and now all the team has to do is to make good up at Mont-rose, and of course they will.

The High School Museum JE Museum of the High School is Just a new feature this year, and we are indeed fortunate in the possession of the wonderful collection of animals, birds, butterflies, insects, shells, etc. The Smithsonian Institution at Washington tried very hard to secure the Cooley collection, offering to send a man to pack and fchip it east; Harvard University wanted many of the tropical birds and butterflies; Syracuse University tried very hard to get the entire collection; San Diego (Calif.) Museum and other government institutions were close bidders for the collection;—but Mrs. Cooley, to whom we are indebted for it, preferred to have it here in Grand Junction, near her home. Cases have been provided, and the work of placing and arranging the collection Is being done in as artistic and natural a way as is possible. The work is progressing nicely, and before long it will be ready for the public. Many more mounts and pieces are to come, some of which are several beautiful parrots, owls, a buffalo calf, and other animals and birds. Mrs. Cooley says there will be several pieces of antique furniture given to furnish the room. In the Museum at this time there are many beautiful skins and more than twenty mounted animals. The most interesting of them, perhaps, is the one-toed ant-eater of South America, now extinct. There is an armadillo and a number of fine heads of the deer and sheep families. There are many North and South American birds; some are mounted in oval cases, others on pedestals. Ten of the cases are oval, permitting the spectator to see the specimens on all sides. One of these cases contains six tropical birds from the island of Trinidad; two of the six are the toucan and the Mexican mot-mot. Harvard tried hard to secure this case. A beautiful snow owl, the white egrets and the tall, graceful avocet are mounted in oval cases, besides a number of others. Among the mounted birds are a golden eagle, herons, a baby ostrich, fine species of owls, and several species of hawks, as well as others too numerous to mention. There is also a large collection of wonderfully beautiful butterflies and insects. The butterflies are gorgeous, coming from South America, the Philippines, Java, India, Australia and many other parts of the world. They vary in size from a fraction of an inch to 8 inches across, and the colorings are indescribable. The fish and reptiles are numerous, among them being a flying fish, a porcupine fish, star fish, sea urchin, a horseshoe crab and an alligator. The shells are of many kinds and number into the thousands—of all sizes and shapes and colorings. There is a group of large cameo shells that are rare and very pretty. The corals are beautiful and of at least a dozen varieties. Only a few of the pieces are of animal or bird life •from the Western Slope; but it is the hope of the faculty and students of the High School to add, as soon as possible, a complete representation of animals, birds and curios of Western Slope origin. We have many birds and animals of the mountains that would make attractive additions to the Museum. From these specimens we should be able to learn more about our district. The school will endeavor to have a fund with which to add, from time to time, to the collection; and always will they be glad to receive suitable contributions to the Museum from all who wish to donate. Some have already contributed, while others have offered to do so. It is the desire of the High School not only to have the best collection on the Western Slope but in the state. There will be someone placed in charge to see that everything is always kept in the best possible condition. The courses of nature study in the schools will be much more interesting and instructive with the Museum. As it grows, the interest in the study is bound to grow. The collection will not only be valuable in itself (having cost several thousand dollars already), but it will be interesting to view' as well as a great help in these studies. When the w'ork of arranging and getting the Museum in order has been completed, the public will be welcome to visit it at all times, and the High School cordially invites them to do so. We are most fortunate in having this valuable collection and wre are proud of it. Grand Junction High School will forever be indebted to Mrs. Cooley. Not only many times before have our thanks and gratitude been expressed; but always will this feeling be with us and always will we appreciate her interests in our schools and her untiring efforts to place something in our High School that famous institutions tried hard to get. —Harry Peabody. Talk About Trouble— Under the spreading chestnut tree A stubborn auto stands. And Smith an angry man is he With trouble on his hands. He cusses softly to himself And crawls beneath the car. And wonders why it didn’t bust Before he got so far. The carburetor seems to be The cause of all his woe; He tightens half a dozen bolts, But still it doesn’t go. And then he tries the steering gears. But finds no trouble there; Till, wet with perspiration, Then, he quits in sheer despair. He squats behind the car to give His brain a chance to cool, And ponders on this training In a correspondence school. And then he starts the job once more, Until, by chance, he's seen The cause of all his woe— He’s out of gasoline. —Wayne Harris, with apologies to Longfellow'. Why Study Latin? CHE fundamental reason for the study of Latin is not to open a literature, not to impart information, not to develop culture as distinguished from pow'er, not to furnish incidental helps to an educated mind. The fundamental reason for its study is that it is a subject pre-eminently fitted to further the great end of all education: the development of the power of exact thinking. The man who can think exactly is the man of pow'er, whose clear vision describes the way for others and guides his own feet to success. The power of exact thinking, when once acquired, is seldom or never lost under normal conditions. In our educational life, then, that study will be most valuable that most develops the ability of thus thinking—an ability that implies the powder to observe, to compare and to judge. Each of these three things is, to a certain extent, a special gift to each one. bestowed more abundantly on some than on others; but, in whatever degree they exist, they are capable of cultivation. Whatever tends most to develop them is the best means of education, and, to my mind, there is nothing that produces this result to so great an extent as the study of language—and of all languages Latin holds the first place. I do not say that the study of Latin will make students think exactly or make them efficient; but, if they have the latent pow'er, capable of development, it is the most effective means to that end. If the object of education is not primarily to impart knowledge or to give vocational training, but to develop in the mind the power to use whatever comes before it, then I believe that education has no better instrument for that purpose than the study of Latin. —Julia C.

And the young men had dignity Back in the days that used to be: They trod a measure in a way You scarcely ever see today: They bowed low to their partner, and With deep respect they took her hand, Ted her back to her seat again When the dance ended, and then said Their words of thanks with bended head.

Don’t you remember, John, when he first come in here a-look-ing at Jene Rodney like he’d bore them eyes o’ his’n clean thru him, how 1 stood up for him? 1 was the first to say he’d get his money ba(k,” said Mr. Macey. “What’s this story about Marner, Mr. Macey?” asked a young peddler seated opposite to Macey. “1 just came in these here parts today, an ever-body was all a-talking about stone-pits ’n Marner’s money.” “Wal, since yer so insisting, I’ll tell you about it. ’ said Mr. Macey, and began on his favorite pastime—• telling stories. “ ’Pears like Marner had saved up all his money—not buying a thing, only enough victuals to keep body ’n soul together. Some folks kinda doubted him even hav . ing a soul, for he could cure fever better'n the doctor with some kind o’ herbs he found, and never once did he set his foot inside o’ the church door until after he found Miss Eppie. Mr. Marner had gone down to the village for sumthin and left his door unlocked an’ his light a-burning. When he came back, he went to look for his money and it was gone. So he come a-running up here, looking like a ghost an’ raving like as if the old Harry hisself was after him. “It was the night o’ Mrs. Osgord's birthday party and all us old customers was a-sittin’ around here as we now is—only some o’ those that were there ain’t here now, an’ some o' those that's here now warn’t there then. But, anyway, we was all here talking and laughing and having a high old time. ’Twas the night when Twkey ’n Winthrop got in such argument about singing in the choir.” “1 allays did say Twkey should keep out o’ the choir, er else stick to his ‘Amens’,” broke in Ben Winthrop. “There was three or four of you that had a conspiracy to put me out o’ the choir: but no man can put me out if I don’t wanna be put out. I been singing in this choir nigh onto twenty years going, and I must say that I do as well as some o’ these folks who’s allays goin’ around cretisizing ever’body else,” replied Mr. Twkey. “Come, come, you folks!” interposed Mr. Snell, the landlord “Ef you two want to argue about that choir business again, you can just go to yer own house—I ain’t a-goin’ to listen to any more o’ that after hearing it ever night for twenty years. Besides, you’re not a showing your manners—your good manners, I mean,—-by interrupting your elders.” Whereupon Mr. Snell turned his back upon the two offenders and said to Mr. Macey: “And he accused Jim —Panther. Rodney o’ stealing his money, as you remember, didn’t he, Mr. Macey?” “Ay. ay,—that he did,” said Mr. Macey, crossing his legs with great care and wincing with the pain. “Poor old Jim was about to throw his beer can at Marner; but I put in a good word for Jim. 'Pears like ever’body’s ready to lay the blame on one pore man. just because he might not be as good as some of the rest. But I says not to have no accusing o’ the innicent. Jim had been with us sence before Master Marner left his house.” “So I suggests that one o’ us go to Master Kench— being as lie’s the constable and ill a-bed—and have him appoint a deppity. So two of us—” “ ’Twasn’t you any such thing that perposed goin’ to Kench’s,” interrupted the farrier, “because I did it myself.” Mr. Macey bestowed a withering glance upon the farrier, which told plainly how much he thought of his opinions, and went on: “As I was saying when I was so outragustly interrupted, I an’ someone else started out with Master Marner to Kench’s. I can’t seem to remember jist what happened then: but, anyway, the next day I was going by Mr. Marner’s place and I found a tinder-box—Now you keep still a minut, and when 1 get thru, you kin put in all the alterations you’ve a mind to” (This aside to the farrier). “Marner said the box wasn’t his’n; so ever’one exceptin’ me thought it belonged to a peddler who had been here a long time ago, and that he took the money. But me, I kinda had a sneakin’ idea all the time that Dunsey (’ass was connected with that money some way. But I jes’ kep’ still an’ let the smart ones talk.” “Hm, he was the one who did the most talking about the peddler,” said the farrier sotto voce aside to Twkey. “What’s that?” asked Mr. Macey of the farrier. “I don’t allow no interruptions nor conterdictions while I’m a-talkin’.” “Wasn't saying nothing except that you were right.” “But I kep’ a-telling Mr. Marner as how he’d get his money back yet, so's to keep up his courage,” continued Mr. Macey. “Then one day, jes’ a few days ago, stone-pit went dry. Stone-pit is the place near Marner’s cottage. And they found the skeleton of a man wedged in between two big rocks, and by him Marner’s money. The man was Dunsey Cass. I allays did think that Dunsey knew more about that money than the rest o’ us, ’cause I been watching that scoundrel ever sence I seen him take a cent out’n the collection box when he was just a little boy. I says to mysen, says I, ever sence then: ‘You'd better keep your eye on that young un. for anyone that’ll steal the collection cents ’ll steal anything else.’ So I wasn’t surprised narry a bit like the rest o’ them. “But it’s hard on Master Godfrey to have ever’body a-saying that ’twas his brother what stole the money. Because, since Dunsey disappeared, Godfrey’s been right decent, and now he’s as good a man as you can find in this parish. “An’ now, young feller, if you want to be obligin’ to an old man an’ prove that saying about all young folks should be useful as well as ornamental, just gimme a shoulder, so’s I can get home. It’s as much as an old man like me can do to walk the little distance as this is, ’cause old man Rheumatiz has a turrible grudge aginst me. “It’s too bad.” said Mr. Macey to the young peddler, as they walked home, “that you didn’t come a week earlier, so’s you could hear me say ‘Amen.’ But last Sunday was my last time, ’n it’ll be poor work, now Twkey lias it all to hisself.” —Kathryn Welles.

THE HOEL-ROSS BUSINESS COLLEGE Entire Third Floor Electric Building The Unexpected Trip to Happiness y JATlLDA sat in the large armchair by the fireplace. IIJ The flames leaped and crackled, but Matilda did not see them. She was thinking, thinking, thinking. Things had been happening very fast the last few weeks—things that should not come into the life of a High School girl to mar her happiness. Many troubles had befallen her for so young a person. She had no parents. The only living relative she knew anything of was her twin brother Horace. Horace was her ideal, her twin, all she had was in love—and she w’ould—Oh, she couldn't even let the thought come into her mind. This was the reason that she sat with her beautiful face hid in the crook of her arm. her golden curls tangled and disheveled, her well shaped shoulders shaking with sobs which could not be suppressed. “Oh! oh!” she sobbed, “and even Ralph does not come nor send me any w'ord. I soon will be—Oh my, oh my, why did that girl ever move here? My Horace, my Ralph; no, no more mine. Oh, what shall I do?” Her mind was so occupied with her sorrow that she did not hear the doorbell ring, and so was rather startled when her maid rapped on her door and entered carrying a telegram. “Ma’am,” said the maid, “here is a telegram just by the postboy.” Matilda took the telegram and read: “Meet me at Spring St. 2:30 Friday. Important.— Ralph.” What could it mean? The last she heard he was in the east with his uncle. She looked at her wrist watch: it was 1 o’clock—plenty of time. She hurried upstairs to her room, tidied herself up and sat down to think. Before she was aware, the clock in the hall struck 2. Matilda jumped up and went down stairs. She told Marie, the maid, she w'as going out and would not be back for some time. Then, having looked to see if her brother w'as in sight, she hurried up the street. On arriving at the meeting place she did not find Ralph; but in a few' minutes he appeared, very much out of breath as well as excited. Oh, Tilda,” he cried, after the greeting wfas over, “I have great news for you. I have a chance to go to Mars in an airplane and take one passenger w’ith me, dear.” Matilda was very much excited and overjoyed, and all she could answer was “Yes.” “Then be ready tomorrow' at 7 o’clock sharp. I cannot stay here now; so good-bye till tonight. When Matilda arrived home she met Horace. He grabbed her in his arms, crying: “Oh, Sis, great new's. I’m going to Mars with Ralph Robinson in an airplane, and I can ask someone to go with me, and it’s you, dear.” “But, Horace,” answered the girl, “Ralph asked me and I said I’d go. So you ask Dorinda; then we’ll be a happy four.” Her brother was very much surprised by this statement and also very happy. He put her down and, without speaking, grabbed his hat and shot past her and into the street. The next morning four happy hearts ascended into the firmament above. —Alta Clarkson. GLASS HOUSES. ETC.

THE MESA DRUG COMPANY Gifts That Are Useful Are Most Appreciated GRADUATES Will be More Than Pleased if Your Selection Is Made From Our Stock If It’s Drugs It’s Mesa’’ The Stong Music Company Wishes Every Senior the Greatest of Success Public Speaking HE last twenty-five years have witnessed many innovations in the traditional courses in the school curriculum. Among these innovations is public speaking. Until a short time ago, reading belonged to the professional elocution school and speech making was the sole possession of orators. Today, anyone who reads a bit of literature with understanding and sympathy is interpreting, and anyone who gains the end for which he speaks is a speech maker. With these changes training in speaking has become a practical part of our everyday life. In the first place, speaking is an essential part of our business or professional activities. The successful man is not the one who just talks—he is the man whose words bring conviction. Personality is judge as much by what is said as by what is done. It goes without saying that a man must think; but many men spoil very excellent thoughts by crude expression. Our social life demands live conversationalists. The person who “can never think of anything to say’’ has a very dull time. “What shall I say” is asked over and over again. There is only one answer: Say something worth the listening. It pays one to look into his conversation equipment; how few subjects one actually knows about, and how limited is one’s vocabulary! In reading or interpretation there are two essentials: understanding and sympathy. Perhaps, imagination better conveys the meaning of sympathy in this use. No one can read what he doesn’t understand; and, if there is no sympathy, the reading is artificial. There is no educational value in aping someone else—the interpretation must come from the reader’s own personal reactions. To some there is one rather disheartening feature about this so-called speaking “business’’: it requires work. A good speaker gains his enviable position thru a good many hours of study, and sometimes thru a good many bitter failures. But, if one is faithful and sincere, one becomes not only a better speaker but a better all-round man or woman. The Western Slope Oratorical Contest gives us an opportunity to show that we can meet other schools on this intellectual basis. We need more competition here at home. We need more interest, more enthusiasm. We need that Western Slope Oratorical cup, and, if we go after it with the grit for which Junction is famous, there is no doubt as to the outcome. WOULD THAT WE WERE PERFECT AND MADE NO MISTAKES “Boosters Club’’ has been written in quite a few places with an apostrophe mark after the word “Boosters.” The apostrophe has been dropped by custom, but the mistake was discovered too late to rectify. Also, the article on “The Boosters Club This Year and Next” was written by E. Wallace Mast and by an oversight his name was omitted at the end of the article. For this, and other mistakes which may have been made, the staff is very sorry, and hopes that you will pardon them, for they were certainly unintentional. Rev. Jones—Son, you are too mercenary.
