TIGER 1927 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF GRAND JUNCTION HIGH SCHOOL GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO SENTI PRESS Foreword To you, the students and friends of Grand Junction High School, we present this volume, hoping that it may truly record memories of friendships and activities which have filled our happy years together. Board of Education SCHMIDT BORSCHELL HAMILTON BUTHORN HOLMBURG Dedication To the Members of the Board of Education, who have given so freely of their time and efforts that the young people of Grand Junction may have every advantage of the best educational opportunities, we respectifully dedicate this annual. From Our Principal The 1927 Tiger marks another step in the life and history of our High School. The events and achievements contained within its pages are a fair index of the traditions, spirit and ideals of the student body. In the years to come this volume will be a source of joy and satisfaction to those who have had a part in its preparation and also to those whose names, faces and records are found therein. The Tiger is a sort of inventory of the stock in trade of our High School. This stock in trade consists not of material things that we can see, handle or trade; but is made up of silent, unseen forces, such as impulses, ideas, inspirations and ideals. The things we see, hear and accomplish in life are but the working out of these forces as represented in material things about us. Some of these days we are going to reach a point in our development when we will realize that all we are and achieve is the result of a spiritual foi’ce; that wealth, business, power and accomplishment are motivated and controlled by unseen forces. We can all readily see that the quality of this annual can be improved only by better ideals and higher standards in our school activities. If this annual can pass on this conviction to those who will be interested in its future publication, it will have done a distinct service to the Grand Junction High School this year. W. G.

J. H. S.—a group of green and wide-eyed Freshmen. We elected Louise Agner for our president, and were finally organized to begin our fight with those lofty persons, the Seniors, for our lawful rights. By the end of the year we had a number of men in the athletic field, and our representatives on the Scholarship Team had done excellent work. In our Sophomore year we entered school with quite a different outlook on life. We soon let the Freshmen know we were in a higher class of society than they were, and then, on the whole, we settled down to good hard work. We made some showing in almost every line of activity, and were piloted safely through the year by Merle Vincent as our president. We ended the year with a noteworthy picnic at Kannah Creek. As all Juniors are, we felt quite proud of our position, for only one more year and we would be Seniors. We participated in every thing, and felt proud that we helped gain the Western Slope championship in basketball, foot- ball, and track. We had three members in the debating team and five in the scholarship team. They all made a fine showing. With the aid of our president, Elmer Lee, we selected and ordered our class pins, and carried through the plans of our Junior-Senior party with the greatest success. At last we reached the pinacle of our career— wre were Seniors! Under the leadership of our capable president, Leo Newfarmer, we have done our best to make this year a success in the history of the High School. We have ranked high in all lines of activities and our class play, “The Seven Chances’ , was a real success. With the proceeds from the play we have bought a Kardex System for the school. We owe much to our sponsor, Mr. Arms, who has faithfully helped us in every way possible to fill the position assigned to us as Seniors. We now leave our position to the classes following us and hope they will learn to love and respect old G. J. H. S. as we do, and will do their part to keep up its standards. LOUISE AGNER.

Section 3.—To the Sophomores:—First, the Senior pep to keep them alive and amuse their teachers; second, the advice as to which courses are the easiest, and which teachers are the kindest to first-year unsuspecting lower-classmen. Section 4.—To the Juniors:—First, our vacant places; second, the privilege of attempting to convince the Faculty that Seniors should have Senior privileges; third, the remains of the Chemistry Lab. which haven’t been blown up, broken or thrown away. Section 5.—To the Janitor:—First, the undisputed duty to see, in the year to come, that there will be two rooms in the building with the same temperature; second, the right to remove all the spit-balls on the ceiling of the Senior Assembly, if he can reach them. Section 6.—To the Faculty:The hope that again in the future they shall have the pleasure of guiding to success and glory a class as brilliant and talented as we. ARTICLE II Section 1.—Emery Bell, president of the associated students, and Leo Newfarmer, Senior president, leave their executive ability to the future presidents of the same said offices. Section 2.—The Business College Seniors donate their shorthand notes, battered typewriters and remarkable business ability to the future Business College Seniors. (Continued in Adveritsing Sec.) Class Prophecy A prophet of renown am I By magic camera, prophecy— The camera never known to lie. The Seniors faces now I see, But in strange garb they seem to be. Ah! one by one they come to me. As the curtains swing open, before us I see The once shy Floy Holden, a movie vamp, she. Next comes Dirce Avi—a cave woman. Rough? Well, just ask Jim Groves, and he’ll tell you how tough. Paul Barker’s a salesman for Hinkey and Dutton; They must be half gone (from the capers they're cuttin’). And the hobo quintet that you know very well— Britton, and Barton, Bull, Boyes and Bell. And now comes Wayne Bensely, with shovel and pick— Digs ditches quite well, he’s so nimble and quick. Madge Baylis now stays at a home for the dumb. Where no one can object when she waggles her tongue. Ethel Boone is now playing with Elmer M. Lee In “She Stoops to Conquer’’—some stoop, as you see. Edna Tuttle’s Chink laundry’s successful, don’t doubt. Snips Parsons stays in, and the wolf stays without. Harold F. Stong is a circus man now; Trains doves in Art Hadden’s three-ringer—And how. Jay Vandemoer, Jr., a surgeon is he; Sews flivvers with wire—makes them hit on all three. Walter A. Stout is a very hot man; Sells Schneible’s fresh hot-dogs as fast as he can. And the proud Shirley S. tolls a Christian-like knell; For the Salvation Army she’s ringing a bell. Theodore Sparks is an actor of parts; A rock on which many have broken their hearts. True Meade and Jean Rush and Geneva Grace Smith, All fell for him hard—No, this isn’t a myth. Everett F. Stapleton’s gotten the mumps From chewing tobacco to wallopin’ lumps. Big Bill Downing’s a root-beer man; Washes his mugs as fast as he can. Joy Belle Walker’s dude ranch is the bunk; The cowboys are girls who use paint and such junk. There’s M. Pauline Woody and Delma M. Wright Punch cattle from morning till late in the night. Clara A. Tupper and Marian Fonder, On the night shift, shoo cattle hither and yonder. Kenneth McKeel is a chemist no more; Twas not H20 but H2S04. Richard A. Manning's a great architect, And is building dog-houses up in DeBeque. Doris I. Hefner is working just some, Punching the type keys and chewing her gum. Arthur S. Horton’s a preacher—and say, He attacks all the innocent fads of the day. As Gladys M. Larson’s new craze for free speech, Sybil Gentry’s hanging her hair out to bleach, Thinks the two Cunninghams are too lazy to live; (They’ve gone and invented a self-tipping lid). In a large public building, at work in the yard, In loudly striped clothes, neath the eyes of a guard, Making small rocks from big ones—a motley crew, William J. Wallace and Bud Vincent, too, And Herbert H. Wilson and Marion Skinner Also pounding the rocks and earning their dinner. Helen M. Garcher and Demis O. Gardner Are hopefully waiting a helpmeet and partner, Ray Wilburt Drake is a rich garbage man, His wagon has four wheels and filies when it can. Blanche Goff is a famous horse doctor, I see, In a light “Lincoln four’’ tours around the country. Dorothy Gould and Bingta E. Palmer Are Pugilists now, though no natures are calmer. Helen E. Maher is now pining away— Lost all her two papas upon the same day. James Johnson Harvey, the buttermilk man, Sells his lean cow juice from out a tin can. Hanselman, Halligan, Griffith and Meade As great scrap-iron merchants their faces they feed. Eichinger now is the chief of police, His big feet can’t help him in keeping the peace. Raymond C. Murphy, May Irish repent Of ancestors noble his feet give 'de-scent. Dorothy Derrington, Sweet Louise Desch Are plotting new methods to knock off the flesh. Alice Darnell and Lillian Cox Are all broken out with the rank chickenpox. Mary and Willa called Buthorne so fair Are trading old hairpins for new chinaware. At good Catherine Halpin we never shall scoff, The child blew her nose till her poor head fell off. What picture now—Ah! The section-hand gang; Bill Price is boss and he’s learned to use slang. Newfarmer, E. Soule and Winger and Lee Loaf when they think the boss can't see. And now comes a list of the clerks at the Fair: In hats, shoes and stockings and fine underwear, Dorothy Bennett and Oryl Burnett And Hazel I. Dunn are working there yet. Annie M. Dunston and Mary S. Diehl In the blind mice department are learning to squeal. When new hats and bonets are soon in the street, Folks say, “Louise Agner sure made her look neat.” Good Maggie Hanselman and young Florence Finch Are fitting new shoes guaranteed not to pinch. Marian Jacobs and tall Esther Jens In the stepladder business are making pigpens. Gladys A. Henderson, Josephine Kehl In the toupe department are doing quite well. Now Pauline Lightfoot and Mary M.

Secretary---------------------Lcraine Chiesman Treasurer--------------------------W. G. Hirons EMERY BELL President The Student Body Association, under the leadership of Emery Bell, has completed another successful and worthwhile year. Only one new activity, the First Aid Club, was added to the program, but the newer clubs of previous years were given an opportunity to develop their programs. They firmly established themselves and proved conclusively that they had a valuable contribution to make to the work of the association. Any club or organization to be admitted permanently to the program of activities must show, first, that it affords some helpful training to its members; and, secondly, that it does not duplicate the work of another organization. This policy tends towards fewer clubs, but insures a better quality of work. This is the first year that regular school time has been set aside for extra-classroom activities. This has eliminated the difficulties attending night meetings, and has made it possible for every student of the high scnool to enjoy the benefits of some activity. The Student Body Association, however, should not be merely a clearing house for the various interests and activities of the school, but should be the means of cementing these interests and activities into a larger group interest which will work for the best welfare of the school as a whole. This can best be accomplished through an appreciation of this larger value by the leaders of these various activities, and an earnest effort on their part to create such an appreciation among the members of their respective groups. The various activities of the Student Body Association offer a fine opportunity for training and experience in organization and leadership, and in working effectively with others to accomplish certain definite aims. To-day, per- haps as never before, there is a strong demand for trained leaders who can organize effectively and carry their plans to a successful finish. Thorough preparation of work of this kind is just as essential as thorough preparation for the biggest vocation in life. MADGE BAYLIS President. NELLIE CULLEN Adviser. The Girls’ League FIRST SEMESTER Madge Baylis______ Mildred Mapes_____ Elizabeth Tope____ Nadine Borshell___ SECOND SEMESTER —President_____________Madge Baylis Vice President_________Edith Hadden _ Secretary_____________Alicia Eames _ Treasurer_____Pauline Shellenberger During the year 1926-27 the Girls’ League, under the able management of its president, Madge Baylis, has become one of the most progressive organizations in school. Its influence has been far-reaching. Probably the most noteworthy accomplishments of the League is the development of the Big and Little Sister movement. At the first of the year every Junior and Senior girl was officially appointed a Big Sister to every Freshman. It was the duty of the Big Sister to make her Little Sister feel at home in the curricular activities of the school, to introduce her to all her classmates and teachers, to sponsor her actions and come to her assistance in. trouble, and take her to the first Girls’ League Party. It was a tremendously successful movement and was greatly appreciated by all Little Sisters. The Girls’ League rendered invaluable assistance to the teachers during Convention Week by meeting trains with cars, serving on information bureaus, acting as ushers at meet- ings, and taking the teachers wherever they wished to go. On Christmas Eve seventy-five members of the League with their ukeleles, paid a visit to the county poor farm, singing carols, and distributing boxes of candy, oranges, and small gifts. Not only was this greatly appreciated by the inmates, but the girls gained much benefit from the experience. After every football and basketball game the home and visiting teams were served with a substantial supper by the Girls’ League. Especial credit is given to the League on this account. The Girls’ League had charge of the Blue Moon at the Piggleteria and cleared thirty-five dollars for the Student Body Association. The League has had two very successful parties, which have greatly increased the feeling of good fellowship among its members. Recently a drive w as made to raise money for furnishing a restroom for the High School girls. Interscholastic competition in raising money was keen and the Juniors won the contest by contributing fifteen dollars to the restroom fund. They will be honored by having a pennant in their class colors hung in the restroom. A mothers' tea is planned for the opening day of the new rest room, which will doubtless prove a most enjoyable occasion for the girls and their mothers. Charles Boyes T. E. Leiper E. B.

Leiper______ SECOND SEMESTER —President______________________Floyd Parsons Vice President____-Edwin Woolverton _ Secretary_________________John Hall — Adviser________________Edar B. Roe The Boys’ League is completing a second very successful year of its existence in the Grand Junction High School. Each of the three hundred and twenty-seven boys enrolled in high school is an active member of the League. Regular meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month, and special meetings are called as needed. The organization is continuing very effectu- ally to the loyalty and democracy of the whole student body. As to the service it renders, the Student Police Force is one outstanding example. Another bit of patriotic service is performed daily by a detail of League members who attend to the raising and lowering of our country’s flag. The Boys League is a permanent part of our school now, and bids fair to accomplish greater and better things in the future. r Scholarship Team Grand Junction placed third with thirteen points in the fifth Annual Western State Scholarship Contest, held May 13th at Gunnison. Montrose was high point winner with 21 as a total score and Salida second with 15. A new plan was tried this year. A preliminary contest was held in each of the ten districts entering the contest. The preliminary for this district was held here with Grand Junction placing first, with a total of 33 points. The students placing either first or second and thereby winning the right to represent this district were: Newell Kephart, Physics; George Hillyer, Algebra; Charles Boyes, General Information, Chemistry and American History; Betty Adams, American and English Literature and General Information; Paul Holden, General Science; Anne Bright, General Science; and Alice Peck. Geometry. In Music no preliminary was held, but Hernan Bull represented Grand Junction in Violin, Martha Gene Rogers in piano, and Edna Bartholomew and Lena Cardman in Voice. Charles Boyes won a four-year scholarship to Western State by placing first in the preliminary contest with a score of 10 points. Betty Adams also won a four-year scholarship by placing first at Gunnison with 6 points. A one-year scholarship in music was awarded Lena Cardman, who won first in the vocal contest, and Heman Bull, who won first in violin. Supt. R. E. Tope, school representative, Mr. Ray Peck, Mrs. H. R. Bull, and Miss Hazel White accompanied the team to Gunnison. Grand Junction has heretofore maintained a. consistent policy by winning second place, but twenty-three schools and ninety-seven contestants were entered this year, and the competi tion was much keener. Grand Junction has a bright outlook for next year’s contest, due to the fact that only one member of the team is a Senior, thereby insuring a good number of contestants for next year. PAUL BRITTON Editor. JACK RUMP Business Manager. The Orange and Black and The Tiger The Orange and Black has finished a very prosperous year. The Orange and Black was founded in 1919, as a small pamphlet, 8 by 11 inches, with four sheets. It is now the regulation newspaper size, with many departments: the editorial page, poets corner, sports page, joke column, news items, and many other interesting features. Distinctive write-ups and stories were well handled this last year by various members of the Journalism class, who comprise the Orange and Black staff. The best indication of its success is the fact that it has aroused unusual interest and much discussion after each issue. It won first place in its division and section, in the annual Rocky Mountain Contest, where it scored particularly high in head lines and inside make-up. Paul Britton, the editor-in-chief, deserves especial credit for his untiring efforts, his interests in the welfare of the school, and the success of the paper. The prospects for next year’s staff are exceedingly good on account of the number of students in Journalism, who will be especially fitted for their work. —By Mary Adams.

With practically all of the old members back and many new ones, making a total membership of thirty-six, it seemed very probable that last year's record would be more than equaled. This spring the orchestra made its first concert tour. While the route included only Coil-bran and Grand Valley, the trip was undertaken with such success that it will no doubt be extended next year. In January the orchestra gave its regular twilight concert at the Avalon Theater. The event was well attended and much enjoyed. A loving cup was presented to Grand Junction High School orchestra in honor of winning first place at Montrose. This year marks their second consecutive victory in this event. Great credit must be given to Director Audre L. Stong for his fine leadership and capable supervision throughout the entire ex- istance of the orchestra. It is due to his untiring efforts that this organization is becoming one of the foremost in high school activities. The personnel is as follows: Violins—Catherine Halpin, Heman Bull, Everett Dean, Louise Tracy, Thomas Tysor, George Hanselman, Hazel Schmidt, Kenneth Pond, Irma Avi, Jesse Phenix. Bass—Rex Hinkey, Paul Britton. Precussion—Reeves Templeman, James Harvey. Piano—Martha Gene Rogers. Cornets—William Downing, Herbert Broad-head, Jay Vandemoer, Hugh Blackstone.

Girls’ Glee Club President-------------------------------Edna Tuttle Vice President--------------Marjorie Nichols Secretary------------------------------Donna Jones Treasurer-----------------Roberta Richardson About fifty girls, selected from the Junior and Senior classes, make up the Girls’ Glee Club. Miss Harriett Moulton, supervisor of music in the Grand Junction schools, is director. The two most important events of the year are the annual operetta and the Glee Club Contest at Montrose. This year the club gave the operetta, ‘Lady Frances,” at the High School Assembly, February 4th. The entertainment was very successful and the proceeds were enough to defray the expenses of the club’s trip to Montrose. • The contest at Montrose took place May 6th, and 25 girls of the club made the trip. The club failed to place this year, although it took second place last year. The Glee Club girls have been on many local Programs. They have sung at some of the churches, for the Business and Professional Women’s Club and for assemblies and Girls League meetings at the High School.

Boys’ Glee Club The Boys’ Glee Club, a new organization composed of Juniors and Seniors, was organized about three weeks before the Montrose tournament in order to compete in the boys’ glee club contest. Notwithstanding the short time in which to practice, they made a very creditable showing at this contest, coming within three points of winning first place. The boys sang at the Lions Club on April 26, and were greatly appreciated. They also assisted the orchestra in a concert at the Methodist church on the evening of May first. Next year’s prospects for the Glee Club are very bright, as it will be started earlier in the season and will be under the capable direction of Mr. Stong.

The purpose of the club is to promote inter-Win agricultural affairs pertinent to our com -wity, to develop good fellowship among the. hudents of the High School who are interested agricultural topics, to give such students an •raple opportunity to develop the ability to ■rpress themselves in open meeting, and to learn fundamental principles and practices of good organization. |j °mas Ashley Floyd Gallatin wnel Eichinger Norman Hickman Jesse Phenix Lyle Preston Kenneth Pond Clyde Rooks Donald Rooks Theodore Sparks Gorden Wild Bernard Brodak Carl Rettig Cecil Rooks Wendall Burkhalter Raymond Perry Frank Randall Glen Moore La Vern Thorpe Jim Bandy Willard Goff Lee Hall Lloyd Divine Lawrence Phenix Sidney Rogers Walter Dunston Richard Kelly Harold Yeaman Levem Wing (associate) Charles Pinger (associate) Robert Barton (associate) Lawrence McCarty (associate) Hugh Pinger (associate) FIRST TEAM LEO NEWFARMER GR4CE SMITH (Coach) GEORGE HANSELMAN BETTY ADAMS Debating The tryouts for this year’s debating team were held on Dec. 22. From the nine who contested, six were chosen on the first and second teams. The first team was composed of Betty Adams, George Hanselman, and Leo Newfarm-er; the second of Newell Kephart, Alicia Eames, and Mildred Jaros. Newell Kephart debated in one conference debate on the first team. The question for debate was, “Resolved that the pending Child Labor Amendment should be ratified”. There were five conference debates for Grand Junction. We defeated Mesa twice and Appleton once in each case by unanimous de- cisions; then we were defeated by Hotchkiss, and on April 1 defeated for the second time and eliminated by Gunnison. Besides the regular conference debates, the second and first teams debated several times, and the second team defeated Appleton. A notable feature of the year was the entertainment given the team out of town. Especially at Mesa and Gunnison was the team well received and entertained. At Gunnison the debaters and the coach stayed a day after the debate and saw the play “Smilin’ Through” given by the college students. The prospects for next year’s debating are unusually bright. One member of the first and all of the second team will be eligible.

H. Holt---------------Adviser______________R. H. Holt This club consists of those boys who have made a letter in football, basketball or track. It was formed during the latter part of the year of '25. During the first year, it did not ao much real work, but during the last two years it has been one of the most active clubs of the school. The present membership is twenty-three, ith five more boys to be brought in. They helped to decide upon the different sizes and shapes of all athletic letters. The Club took an active part in the changing of the size and shape of the girls letters. This Club wants to promote clean athletics and good sportsmanship. The Club signed a resolution this year that they would do all they could to make the athletic trips to other cities a success.

It was founded with the idea of gaining a familiarity with the classics and of fostering a friendly feeling between the Virgil and Cicero classes. It has since become one of the fore-most clubs of the school. Membership is open to those of the two advanced classes, and an initiation at the first of the year is the only other requisite for entrance. Meetings are held once in school-time during the six-weeks period. In between, other meetings are held at night. Programs are given at these meetings consisting of topics on Roman life and customs. Musical numbers are also given. Following the annual custom, the Caesar classes this year were treated to a party, to show them the spirit of club life and the advantages of continuing their studies in Latin. The Latin Club banquet, the real social event of the year, took place May 20th at the Congregational church, with a large number of members and guests attending. Forty-two members were enrolled in the club this year and all co-operated faithfully in the part the club took in the Piggleteria and in other duties assigned to them. Altogether the year was one of the most successful in the annals of this organization.

R. Club was founded in 1920 for the purpose of supporting all high school activities. It has come to mean to the high school what service clubs mean to the community and is recognized by the other service clubs as a co-worker in progressive development. Due to the changes this past year in the dinner-hour schedule, it was necessary for the J. R. Club to hold its regular weekly noon meetings at the high school. The J. R. Club this year complied with its custom of awarding ribbons of honor to those victorious at the anuual track, rhetorical, and music contest, held at Montrose. A few of the outstanding services of the club in the past are: The erection of a monument in honor of Helen A. Dewey, the presentation of the leadership cup at the end of each term to the student most worthy, and the extensive advertising of games. At Montrose, Leo Newfarmer acted as representative in presenting the awards to the winners of first, second and third places.

Since then it has grown to be one of the largest clubs in the school and one which has direct influence upon not only the Western Slope Rhetorical Contest in Montrose but also upon events at home. During the past year, the meetings have been very well attended and some very good programs have been given. The club put on a short one-act play for the Piggleteria and gave a very good comedy, “The Arrival of Kitty,” at the Avalon Theatre, April 27th. Miss Groom and Mr. Beattie have been the very helpful advisers of the club during the year, and much of its success is due to them.

Rhetorical Team The Rhetorical Team of Grand Junction High School again emerged victorious from the Rhetorical Meet held May 5, 6, and 7, at Montrose. Out of a possible 100 points Grand Junction scored 60, placing two first, one second and two third places. The nearest contestant, Pa-enia, scored 33 points. Since 1919, the year in which Grand Junction High School was admitted to the Western Slope Conference, the local team has won first lau-rels five times. The reward for this year’s victory is a handsome loving cup, which was presented to the winners by Western State College. In 1925 Grand Junction won the cup, but by placing second in 1926, lost it to Montrose. If this bophy is won for the two succeeding years it will become the permanent possession of Grand Junction. The difficult task of judging was well disposed of by Mr. Ferris and Miss Hatch of Western State College and Mr. Hershey of Colorado College. The personnel of the local team was as follows: Mary Adams, original oration, “Free- dom;” Betty Adams, argument, “ResoP ed, that the Pending Child Labor Amendment be Ratified;” Madge Baylis, humorous declamation, “Betty at the Base-Ball Game;” Margaret Hanselman, dramatic declamation, “Number Six;” and William Lacy, oratorical declamation, “Voltaire.” The increasing interest in Rhetoricals assures Grand Junction of an excellent representation next year. The Science Club President_________________________James Harvey Vice President_________________________Elmer Lee Secretary-Treasurer---------------Erwin Krueger The Science Club has had a very successful season. All the meetings from first to last have been amply supplied with interesting lectures and programs. The initiation this year, as well as last year, was a unique ceremony that will not be soon forgotten by the neophytes. The Piggleteria stunt which the club put on was one of the best attractions of that memorable occasion. The Science Club covers the four fields of Electricity, Chemistry, Physics and Biology. In each of these branches wonderful discoveries are being made from week to week, and it is the special function of the club to interest its members in as many of these new developments as possible. Pure science leads the way, and practical applications and inventions follow closely upon its heels. No boy or girl in school today is getting an education that will fit into the life of the generation to which he belongs unless he has at least a fair comprehension of the things which the earnest and infinitely painstaking scientists are constanly contributing to the welfare and comfort of their fellow-men, as well as to the better understanding of the universe we live in. The second year of the club finds the organization so firmly established that its success for next year seems well assured.

The flower is the carnation. The motto. Mas Vale Saber Que Haber. The aim, Una Ayuda a la Escuela, y Una Ayuda a Cada Socio del Circulo. El Circulo Espanol has been a part of the Grand Junction High School since 1925. It meets once each sextile and all pupils taking second year Spanish are eligible. By means of plays, special reports on the are literature, manners and customs of the Spanish-speaking people of Spain and the different Spanish-American countries, we have increased our knowledge of the countries and broadened our understanding of the people. The Club has been very fortunate in having some excellent musicians and readers among its members this year, who have graciously responded to the demands made upon them. At the last meeting of the year the first-year pupils joined us and the officers for the coming year were elected.

Its members are taken from High School students who have had some work along this line. The club has had a number of meetings this year. Part of these were entirely social, and part were devoted to programs. In addition, the girls had a delicatessen booth at the Piggle teria which proved a financial success. One of the most interesting events of the year was the picnic with the Agriculture Club May 13th. The members of the club are: Helen Barbour Zella Beatty Corinne Broadhead Helen Chadwick Doris Clark Marie Conrade Cecelia Evers Marian Fonder Demis Gardner Nelle Humphries Mary Mudrock Esther Jens Edna Jones Aileen Krohn Gladys Lockard Grace Lockard Cora McCarty Dorothy McElroy Ida Miller Opal Minshall Gladys Newman Cecelia Premore Neva Preston Eleanor Robinson Mary Simpson Elizabeth Smith Clara Tupper Nona Willey Millicent Younger The First Aid Club President-----------------------Julia Kochevar Secretary-----------------------Loraine Fisher Adviser-------------------------Madeline Buck The First Aid Club is a group of High School girls who are interested in promoting health. It was organized in December, 1926, and began the regular Monday afternoon meeting in January of this year. The object is the study of health problems that are met with every day. After a short course in the essentials of first aid, the time is given to the study of personal, home, and baby hygiene. The girls had the pleasure at one of the meetings of hearing Miss Phelan, representative from the National Child Welfare Bureau in Washington, D. C., ho gave a very interesting talk about her work. For the benefit of the girls who plan to be nurses, she discussed some of the important points to be considered in choosing a training school and some of the preparation that can he made in High School. At another meeting Miss Goldsmith, member of the faculty, gave them a talk on the relation of clothes and health. During the week the girls went with Miss Madeline Buck, the school nurse, to the different schools and helped her weigh and measure the children. They also had office work which consisted of averaging up the weights and measurements. The most interesting part of the practical work for the club is assisting at the clinics where the doctors remove tonsils and adenoids for indigent cases. The girls help in the operating room during the operations, and then take care of the children while they come out of the anaesthetic. At the examination clinics they weigh and measure and take notes for the doctors. Julia Kochevar Loraine Fisher Lina Mae Smith Ula May Seaman Rachel Regia Frieda Ward Lucile Fisher Harriet Hildreth Jeanette Mathias Senior Class Play “Seven Chances” The Class of ’27 gave a very successful presentation of “The Seven Chances” March 3, at the Avalon. This was a comedy in three acts dealing with the complications and trials of Jimmie Shannon who was making a frenzied attempt to get married before the age of thirty. If successful, he was to receive 12,000,000 dollars as an inheritance from his grandfather. This plot with its complications and a series of seven proposals made up a very enjoyable play. Its success was due largely to the ability and hard work of the director, Miss Ela. Jesse Phenix, as property man, proved invaluable in the somewhat difficult problem of managing stage properties. The money received on the play was used to purchase the much needed Kardex business system now installed in our office. The scenes used in the play, which were procurred by the class at some trouble and expense, will become school property, to be used in future dramatic productions.

The Junior Band was organized for the purpose of training new members. The, Band opened its season this year with a regular routine of practice in the gymnasium lobby, practicing on an average of five hours a week. A military band course was started and was a great aid to the band’s technique. The band was in sore need of uniforms, so with the aid of a loan, made possible by the Lions Club, uniforms were ordered. Plans were then made for the first appearance of the band in full dress. The date was set for December first and second at the Avalon Theatre. On November 30th, at the Conference football game between Paonia, Delta and Grand Junction, the band made its first field appearance in their new uniforms. The band’s appearance at the Avalon was a great success. This year the band started the Twilight Concerts which were given at the Avalon Theatre. In these concerts the numbers presented were far more classical and difficult than any series of numbers ever attempted by the Grand Junction High School Band before. Among the most difficult numbers which the band has presented is the Peer Gynt Suite by Grieg. The band this year has attempted to support the High School in all proceedings. A comic edition, “The Tiger Dumpling”, was Published with the sole purpose of helping the students bear their load with a smile. The Grand Junction High School Band has aade a name for itself and set a record that toy band might be proud to boast.

M. Goumaz IN CITY William Hemmer Finley Wallace Milton Gibbs The Rhetorical Club Play “The Arrival of Kitty “The Arrival of Kitty'’ was the play selected by the Rhetorical Club for its annual performance. This comedy, written by Norman Lee Swartout, possessed much keen wit and clean humor. It was one of the most enjoyable plays ever presented by the club. The dramatic success of the production was due to two main factors: the direction of Miss Emma Groom, and the ability and perseverance of those taking part in the play. The clever plot involved the actions of a money-seeking old bachelor, William Winkler, who unknowingly let himself be tangled up in a series of mirthful incidents, which caused much grief to him. The cast has been highly complimented for its work, and the play certainly revealed unexpected talent in this group of students.

Agricultural Contest The fifth annual Western Slope vocational agricultural contest was held at Grand Junction April 29th and 30th. The following schools were represented at this contest: Fruita, Delta, Cedaredge, Hotchkiss, Olathe, Montrose, Gunnison and Grand Junction. The crop judging consisted of three exhibits of four lots of wheat, one exhibit of four lots of alfalfa seed, one exhibit of four lots of oats, four exhibits of four lots of potatoes and two exhibits of four lots of corn. Oral reasons on placings were given on seed potatoes and seed corn. Fruita took first in judging small grains, and Grand Junction took first in corn, alfalfa seed and potatoes. The poultry judging required the placing of one ring of White Leghorns, one ring of Ply- mouth Rocks and one ring of Rhode Island Reds. The standing of contestants was: Montrose, Olathe, Fruita, with Grand Junction fourth. The stock judging consisted of one ring of farm draft horses, one ring of brood sows, one ring of Holstein dairy cattle and one ring of fat steers, ten head to a lot. Delta won by a small margin over Fruita in this contest, with Grand Junction a close third. A great deal of keen interest was manifested in this part of the contest, due to the fact that Montrose had won this contest for two consecutive years and a third winning would entitle them to keep the large, hansome cup as a permanent honor. The Grand Junction Ag Club entertained the entire group Friday evening at Lincoln park with a rabbit barbecue. Athletics Coaches K. H. HOLT MRS. R. H. HOLT EDAR B. ROE Athletic Coach Girls Basketball Coach Assistant Coach The Year in Athletics Considering the new material from which the teams were chosen, the Tigers and Tigresses closed a most successful season in Athletics. The Tiger football squad was the best defensive team on the Western Slope. Their line of victories was broken only at the last of the season in the championship play-off, when Paonia defeated them 6 to 0. The basketball team was without doubt the best ever produced in G. J. H. S. They captured the Western Slope championship for the second consecutive year. The Tigers had the remarkable record of having suffered defeat but three times. The team represented this conference at the State Tournament in Fort Collins, where they made a very creditable showing. The Tigresses, for the first time in several years, represented the Grand Junction High School at the Delta Tournament. They were defeated on the final night by the strong Delta Pantherettes. The track team was outclassed by Paonia and Olathe, but nevertheless made a very fine showing. In the Western Slope meet at Montrose they placed third. They took a close second in the Junior College meet, showing that they were improving all the time. More students turned out this year for football, basketball and track than ever before in the history of the school. As most of the teams were made up of under-classmen, prospects are very good for championship teams in the future. Coach Holt, who has had charge of the Tiger athletics for the last three years, is largely responsible for the success of the teams. He lived up to his reputation of being a splendid coach by taking green material and working it into splendid teams. Mr. Roe is a new member of the coaching staff this year. He deserves great credit for helping Coach Holt turn out such a fine football and basketball team. Mrs. Holt completed her second year as coach of girls’ basketball. She has the honor of coaching one of the finest girls’ teams on the slope. Although they were not champions, they tied for second place at the Delta Tournament. Top row—Wilson, Lampshire, Arant, Stong (Captain), Parsons, R. Drake, Bull, Barton, Ellis. Second row—Rump, Schaeffer, Thompson, G. Jones, Drake, Shepardson, K. Hall, R. Jones, J. Hall, Weaver, Cochran, Sullivan. Third row—Barker. Headrick. Hiatt, Wallace, Hadden (Vice Captain), Burckhalter, Wakefield, Hannigan. Fourth row—Peterson, Minshall, Griffith, Whailey, Egger, Kelly, Baker, Westcott. Tiger Football Team A summary of the games and scores of the season is as fol'ows: Tigers 7 Moab, Utah 0 Tigers 18 Fruita 0 Tigers 7 Olathe 7 Tigers 47 Cedaredge 0 Tigers 0 Paonia 0 Tigers 16 Fruita 6 Tigers 16 Montrose 0 Tigers 10 Delta 0 Tigers 19 Junior College 0 Tigers 32 Delta - 0 Tigers 0 Paonia 6 162 19 F ootball Prospects for a successful season were bright with eight letter-men of last year’s championship team back in uniform. These letter-men were Captain Stong, Vice Captain Hadden, J. Hall, Arant, K. Hall, Parsons, Kelly, and E. Hiatt. The two positions difficult to fill were those of quarterback and fullback. As a result of these two places not being filled in a satisfactory manner at the beginning, the team started out slowly, but improved steadily throughout the season. The Tigers again proved to be another excellent defensive team. They finished the season of regularly scheduled conference games without a defeat, and with two ties to their credit. This made the second consecutive season which the Tigers have gone through without a defeat. This football season was perhaps the most interesting, exciting, and financially successful of any in the past on the western slope. At the end of the regular conference season the Tigers, Paonia, and Delta had gone through their schedules without a defeat and each had met the other once, and the result had been a tie game in each case. As a result of this unusual situation the three coaches met and decided to have a play-off, each team playing the other for a thirty-minute period. The team with the highest percentage at the end of the game won the championship. The play-off was held in Grand Junction, with a record-breaking crowd of 3,500 people. The Tigers defeated Delta 32-0 in the first thirty minutes of play. In the second thirty minutes of play the Tigers, somewhat tired from their first encounter, were defeated 6-0 by Paonia. Paonia defeated Delta 13-0 in the last thirty minutes of play, thereby winning the championship. This put the Tigers in second place. The following boys received letters: Captain Stong, Vice-Captain Hadden, Arant, J. Hall, Whalley, K. Hall, Baker, Shepardson, Burk-halter, Rump, Parsons, Wallace, Kelly, Griffith, D. Hiatt, R. Jones, and Minshall. The following Tigers were selected on the “All-slope” team: Arant, end: Baker, tackle; Stong, guard; Kelley and D. Hiatt, halfbacks. The team elected Richard Kelly, flashy halfback, as captain of next year’s team and John Hall, star end, as vice-captain. Top row—Roe (asst, coach), Westcott, Burke, Whalley, O’Conner, R. H. Holt (coach). Second row—Baker (vice captain), D. Hiatt, Shepardson, Hall, Wallace, Hadden. Third row—Barker, Stapleton, Arant (captain), Meade, E. Hiatt.

The Tigers won their second consecutive western slope championship at the tournament held at Delta. One more championship will give G. J. H. S. the cup permanently. For the first time since 1923 the western slope was represented at the state basketball tournament. The Tigers went to Fort Collins and lost the first game to Fort Morgan 23-19, and the second game to Manzanola after two overtime periods by a score of 21-19. The Tigers did remarkably well, considering the fact that they had only a week’s rest between the two tournaments. The team enjoyed the splendid hospitality of the State Agricultural College and also gained an immense amount of valuable experience. The season started late due to the play-off of the tie in football, but with the new gymnasium completed and ready for use, the Tigers were soon rounded into shape. Over 125 candidates turned out for the team. Coaches Holt and Roe decided to form a Tiny Tiger squad for those who were too small for the first team. In this way, two teams playing entirely different schedules wore the school colors. The Tiny Tigers played a total of twelve games, winning eight of them. The Tiny Tiger squad will contribute its share of stars in future years. To match the strength of the Tigers with that of other teams not in this conference. Coach Holt took the Tigers on a trip to Salida during the Christmas holidays. They played two games in Leadville, winning one and losing one by a margin of one point. They gained revenge by defeating Salida 21-17. The team returned from this trip richer financially and in fine shape. The Tigers had the splendid record of twenty-five victories and three defeats. This year's team was one of the best that ever wore the “Orange and Black”. Those receiving letters were: Captain Arant, Vice-Captain Baker, E. Hiatt, Barker, Wallace, I). Hiatt, J. Hall, Hadden, Meade, Whalley, and Shepardson. Patterson, the referee at the tournament, chose Arant (Tigers) and Allison (Paonia) ast forwards on the “all-slope” team; Haley (Pa- onia) as center; and Baker (Tigers) and Voutaz (Gunnison) as guards. Baker was selected as second best all-around player at the tournament. Captain Arant was high point man of the tournament, with John Hall one point behind him. For the entire season Elston. Hiatt was high scorer with a total of 106 points. James Baker had the honor of playing ing a total of 555 minutes and E. Hiatt next with 466. Captain Arant was handicapped for several weeks during the middle of the season with a knee injury and was out of the game during that time. He demonstrated his ability, however, at the tournament. John Hall will lead next year’s team as captain. Elston Hiatt w'ill be vice-captain. Top row—Schneible, Mrs. Holt (coach), Morgan. Second row—Arant, Martin, Wiley, Jens, Desch, Roessler. Third row—Rigg, Boone (vice captain), Tuttle (captain), Smith.

This unusually large number necessitated the forming of a second squad, consisting of the Freshman and Sophomore girls. By this plan the first squad will have an experienced group of players constantly growing up and coming in, thus assuring a supply of good basketball material from year to year. The first squad went through the conference schedule without losing a game except one with Fruita. This made a tie between the two teams. The tie was played off on Grand Junction’s floor, and the final score was in favor of the Tigresses, which won for them the right to represent the Grand Valley Conference in the annual tournament at Delta in March. This record is the best that the girls’ team has made for four years. The Tigresses went to Delta feeling that they could give a good account of themselves. They won the first game, lost the second one, and came back with a strong determination to win the third one. Delta’s ability to hit the basket put the score in their favor in the last half of the final game, and won for them the championship. Eleven girls received their letters and six of these girls will be back next year to carry the Orange and Black to victory. Top row—Rogers, Quinn, Whalley, Rump, Arant, Burke, Wilson, Ellis. Second row—Sweetman, Saunders, Griffith, D. Hiatt, Kelly, Jones, Walsh, Cochran. Sitting—Kreps, Williams, Zimmerman, Hiatt, Hall, Shepardson, Eddy. Tiger Track Team Due to a scarcity of sprinters, track prospects were very dismal this year. There were also only four letter-men back from last year’s team, namely, Captain E. Hiatt, Vice-Captain R. Jones, Arant, and Parsons. As a result of having to build up an entirely new team, Coach Holt scheduled as many meets as possible in order to give his men the necessary experience before the slope meet at Montrose. The team proved to be an excellent one in the field events. A sprinter was all that was needed to make it a well balanced team. As all the boys who went to Montrose were under-classmen, with the exception of one, track material for next year will be excellent. The Freshmen contributed Zimmerman, one of the best milers ever seen on the slope. It is interesting to note that Zimmerman ran the mile in 4 minutes and 41.4 seconds, a time within five seconds of the state record and also which would have taken first at the state meet in Fort Collins this year. Captain Hiatt was a sure winner in the shotput. His best throw of the season was 42 ft. 4 inches, a distance which beat the best at the state meet this year by two inches. One week before the slope meet “Snips” Parsons discovered he was eligible to enter. He immediately started to train and for his efforts took first at Montrose in the discus with a heave of 113 ft. 5 inches. Captain Hiatt won the highest number of points during the season with a total of 111 1-6 points; Zimmerman was second with 67; R. Jones was third with 27%; D. Hiatt was fourth with 27%.
