Eddlcblutc, who has been connected with the Laramie schools for the past three years, has resigned to take charge of the farm which he recently purchased. Mr. Eddleblute came to Laramie in September. 1916. as princi- pal of the High School. Fire following year he was elected superin- tendent and has served in that capacity since. In his work in the schools he has proved himself a capable leader and a kind and sympathetic friend. We. the members of the Junior Class, in behalf of the student body and High School faculty, regret he is leaving and take this means of thanking him for what he has done for us. The best wishes of the entire school community go with Mr. and Mrs. Eddleblute, and their children to their new home. a- J ★ . . ¥ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ■ Mervillc Brandi Anderson. Charles Anderson.

Battles we’ve had by the score, but emerged from each one the victor. Vain will it be to look for the name of each separate member. Blended the fame of each in the larger fame of this record. AT last we're really Seniors, and altho I’ve not much space. From Freshmen unto Seniors our path I'll briefly trace. We had our Prom in sixteen and our Empress line-party. We also went out to the Springs, each stunt was up to G.” We were mentioned for our scholars, who each month had all A’� . In every thing we have shone out like sunshine’s brilliant rays. And when we reached our Sophomore year, the green had most departed And we still had quite a number, tho a few had been faint hearted. Our girls made up a Camp Fire and Shutanka was its name. They also formed Y. W’s. staff, which all from Sophomores came. And then we made a Dinosaur while in our Sophomore year. And of its hearty welcome we needed not a fear. In Junior year another Prom adds to this page’s glory. Whose brilliant gems I will pick out from Nineteen’s History quarry. We also had a Junior l ea, which was really most successful. Our Junior Annual was the best, and this you know is truthful. Now 'ncath the Purple and the Gold is lost the Freshman green. Which sort of transformation is in Upperclassmen seen, lire girls belong Io J. G. G. a most successful club. While Basket Ball from Senior boys has made its inmost hub. We always are strong rooters altho we arc so few. And when it comes to sportsmanship, you'll find us right there, too. And now may each and all of you who'vc traced us up so far. Be present at Commencement, to see this class, the Star. Epilniuir BU I' far as the distance vast, that divides the North from the South pole So far it is from my thought to boast of our honest achievement. Since our deeds arc carved in the hearts of all in l aramie High School. For with anguish the lights I descent of Ninetccn's funeral pyre. Which the world for politeness sake has called by the name of Com- mencement. And just as when fagots arc burned, the ashes are spread by the brce cs. So our members, loosed from class bonds, will be scattered, who can guess whither? And so to Nineteen’� farewell. I affix a most sad. mournful Finis. —Bernice Dennis, '19. trrmnr AiUiiarru Min Edna A. Bid dici . B. A. B. Bed. Instructor in Latin. Mr. A. ]. Conreji. B. A. Instructor in Science. NIORS Ceoige W.

Hjuntnrs AFTER eight years of grade school, which includes all sorts of hopes, ambitions and disappointments, we decided to give Lara- mie High a chance to improve our already flourishing minds. Arc we glad? Why. we even learned things when we were Freshmen. When we entered High School in 1916. it took a new lease of life. Having been joyfully received as “more fun we won the favor of the superintendent who probably saved our lives by forbidding ha .ing. O Joy! Still we were rather disappointed for we had looked forward— but that’s a deep, dark secret. In appearance we were hardy, good- looking Freshmen, not timid or bashful and always game. (Did you hear about how eager we were to clean the snow from the football field?) As for athletics—well, we arc invaluable. Besides furnishing all the laughs, we gave an indcspensable center to the girl’s team. Unusual, perhaps but perfectly natural if you know the girl. Probably the most important event in our first year was the Freshmen reception. We wcr« towed around and introduced until we felt like parrots saying the same thing over. Worst of all. they made us dance and most of us couldn't tell our feet from the other fellows. But we'll say that we believe that was tire best reception ever. The next year we came back stronger than ever and more confi- dent. Our class was smaller than before but our pep was undiminished. Considering everything, we behaved fairly well this year, except the day we tried to play hookey to sec the Belgians. They spoiled it by dis- missing us for the morning, so we made the rest of the day a flunk.” (Defined in Mr. Conrey's class book.) Don’t forget the candy we sold to help bring L. H. S. up to its quota in W. S. S. Our class advisers were Miss Gathc and Mr. Libbcy. so you might know everything wc did—including hookey—was successful. The rest of the year we worked hard and wondered what it would be like to Ire a Junior. Being a Junior means more work and worry. The Juniors are the smallest class in school, and have the best class advisers. Miss Gathe and Mr. Libbcy. (They liked the job so well last year that they wanted it again.) Wc arc showing what we are made of and started out by putting five girls on the team. When a capable yell leader was needed, the school naturally turned to the Juniors and wc presented a girl! lire election was unanimous and you should hear us break up the peace. Ilris year wc presented a scene from Dicken's Christmas Carol as a laugh provoker. All the Juniors loyally made themselves look “Rugglcsly and feel foolish just to make their friends laugh. They did! Now wc arc being still and working hard, dreading the close of this year when we’ll have only one year left in Laramie High. —Louise Nighlser. Mr. O. A. Libbey. B. C. S. Commercial Department.

At first, vague, then gradually clearer and clearer. In the midst of a clump of quakers stood a large rambling ranch house with numerous corrals and sheds around. Nina Wurl, owner—or perhaps owneress—of the L ranch, was standing on the veranda giving directions to some riders. She was start- ing to town to meet the eastern train. From the conversation some very well—important persons were expected. Later I found that Eula George, the little movie queen from Laramie. Gertrude McKay, an im- portant reporter for the New York rimes. Ethlyn Christensen, a well- known elocutionist, and Zida Stinger, the woman’s suffrage lecturer, were the ones. After Nina left, other people attracted attention. How queer! They were all familiar. It must have been a Junior rendezvous. Cora Betty Johnson, fresh from boarding school, sat on the fence with John Cannon, foreman of the “L.” beside her. They seemed, to say the least, a little interested in each other. It was a little vague, but seemingly Norman had had to abduct Sophia. Oh no. it wasn’t Sophia's fault, but that of a very obstinate parent. The L seemed as logical a place as any to spend a honey- moon. But wait, there was more romance. Out in the kitchen pathetic tears streamed down Rosie’s checks as she peeled onions and listened to the bug stories of Enoch Spicer, the famous bugologist. No one dared intrude when Enoch was in the kitchen unless they were willing to face Rosie’s wrath. In a little log building on the hill lalcnc Knislcy's voice could be heard reprimanding .an erring infant. But don’t blame the child Audrey, a city lady, but just like she used to be. was visiting. Emily was strolling on the porch with a book held upside down, cast- ing longing glances toward the kitchen. Enoch must have been help- ing to get the dinner. Just as Louise and Adrienne, very much bored were banging out a duct on the piano, it ended. For it was only a vision. Crete Wood. Sophoi LAST year we sophs were green and growing. This year we're a bit more wise and knowing. And we have left a greener lot To fill our place in Freshmen spot. We arc all here, excepting Chip And he is here just half.

The class of '22 will long be remembered as the greenest class that ever enrolled in that school, affording much amusement for the Upperclassmen, espe- cially the Sophomores. But the Frcshics have not given all their time to finding their scats and class rooms as the names of Freshmen on the Honor Roll testifies. Of course, you know that we have a fine boy’s basket ball team, and a fine girls' basket ball team. The Freshman girls played the Junior or Champion Girls’ team and was beaten. 18 to I. but were good losers. We also have some boys on the football team and alto- gether it shows that Freshman have a good record for athletics. We gave a big masquerade dance about the last of the first s:mcster. which was one of the biggest events of the year. The Pink and Green has done very well under the leadership of Frank Pregal. president, and advisers. Miss Leslie Cook and Miss Ruth Edwards, and next year we hope to have a better “stand in” with the school. Yours sincerely, Lillian Smart. «Frriihiuru Abniarra Miss Ruth Edwards. A. B.

Junior High School Notes THIS year ninety-five of us started out to prepare ourselves for the time when we should be students in the Senior High School. anJ several students from other schools have joined us. A few of our number have dropped out to go to other towns. We who arc leaving have some happy memories to look back upon. We have had several parties and hikes and we anticipate stiil more before the school year closes. The science class, led by Miss Swift, has had several interesting and instructive trips. We especially enjoyed the trip to the University Museum and Weather Department. The Civics class taught by Miss Stanton has been very interesting, lire class went to the court house and heard a trial, from which the pupils learned much. Miss Stanton's classes in basketry have been very much enjoyed. We have also had some interesting work on debating. We wish to express our appreciation for the talks that wc have heard. Our lecturers have been Dr. Turner, Dr. Hcbard. Rev. Delo. Mr. Libbcy. Lieutenants Knight and Jacobs. Arthur Boyle and Mrs. Holliday. All of these have given us valuable information and enter- tainment. Wc feel that our Modern Health Crusade has been a success in every way. No matter where, we ninety members of the Junior High of this year go. wc will always remember with pleasure and gratitude those who have made it |x s$iblc for us to have so successful a school year. Wc were interested in Laramie High School, and they took an interest in us and it is with eagerness that wc look forward to the time when wc will be a part of that student body and may take part in all activities.

I he chorus deserves special mention also, for the splendid work done under the direction of Miss Peabody. There are thirty-five girls jin this organization, and each one does her best. They meet in the High School Assembly every Monday from 3:35 to 4 p. m. and practice many popular songs in addition to songs included in the regular course. |Thc chorus has appeared publicly several times. Their selections Over fhcre and Ilrcrc's a l.ong. I ong Trail were greatly en- joyed by all who were fortunate enough to attend the Freshman Recep- tion. While the chorus at the Christmas Entertainment. December twenty-fourth, along with the music furnished by the orchestra, were no less appreciated than before. The orchestra also rendered several pop- ular selections at the Junior High School entertainment and were heart- ily applauded, each time graciously responding with an cncort In ad- dition to their regular work, some of the orchestra played for several cf the High School dances. Both musical organizations arc now diligently working on mus e for commencement. Laramie High School looks forward to a continued success in its musical department, iind next year we feel safe in saying that several instruments will be added to the orchestra. — Idricnnc Hammond.

Mrs. Pearl Lister, Mr. Samuel Hitchcock. Instructor in Manual Training Boys' Coach MANUAL TRAINING THE purpose of the Manual Training Department is to train students to use the tools. Anyone knows what a saw is. but does he know how to use it? Perhaps they know also what a mallet, hammer and chisel are. Would they strike the chisel with the hammer instead of the mallet? If they did the chisel handle wouldn't last very long. Maybe they also know what a plane is and what it is for. and yet can't plane a board level. This year the Manual Training Department has done excellent work under the direction of Mr. Samuel Hitchcock. Manual Training has been taught from the Fifth Grade through the Eighth. The inter- est the High School pupils take in their work was shown by an exh'bi'. held May 2. when tables, newspaper racks, plant stands, taborets. candlesticks and several other articles of quality were shown. I.athe work is taken along with the bench work. A good working drawing has to be presented to the instructor of every article contemplated before the student is allowed to start work on it. This gives the student an idea of what the article he is making will look like when completed and also good practice in making drawings. Since getting a large number of new tools, and by running the Manual Training on a slightly different schedule. Mr. Hitchcock thirk- hc can accommodate about two hundred students next year. FROM MARY TO BETTY. JACK paused at the gate. Tough luck. Betty. They are really anxiou$ to have me or I wouldn't go. But you'll be able to manage him because you're such a good little pal. don't you know. Jack! Come back here! I don't even know this cousin's name . Then, seeing Jack striding briskly down the street. Betty added to her- self: Why docs he have to choose this week of all others to come here? Everyone gone except that utterly useless Jack and I have to face the unknown cousin alone. Horrors! Some twenty minutes later. Betty emerged from the bungalow armed with a huge picture of cousin and her most grown-up smile. “I shall act as if I were old enough to have all sorts of responsi- bility. and abuse this horrid person so he won’t want to stay. she thought. As the train stopped at the small station Betty clutched wildly at the picture and waited anxiously for the first glimpse of a stranger. A' last, there he was. Straight and tall in his uniform and—. Betty pecked at the picture before stowing it away behind a trunk—much bet- ter looking than the picture. Still, it must be that cousin for he was the only one in khaki. So. with her best company smile. Betty advanced. You are my cousin, aren’t you? So glad you have come. Have been hoping you would stop off here. Why—er—. “Pardon me. little girl, my name is Richard Burke and I stopped here to—.” Oh. of course, cousin Dick. Mother is gone just now but you arc coming right to our bungalow for as long as you like. Richard Burke looked at the childish figure beside him and because he was homesick and had no home, he answered. Kind of you—er. Mary. I believe I will slop over if you’ll forgive my not recognizing you at first. But aren't you rather too much of a child to be left to care for an overgrown cousin?” I'm nineteen, sir. came icily from beneath Betty’s large hat. And Burke had the grace to blush beneath his tan. The walk to the house was silent. Burke asked himself if he were crazy, but Betty decided that the lea and cakes she had planned to set before the unbearable cousin were utterly foolish. This yo::ng giant would have to have substantial sandwiches and coffee, even if it were spring! So coffee and sandwiches and spicy cake it was. Betty was flushed from her quick work in the kitchen and enjoyed watching Burke con sumc innumerable sandwiches and almost half a cake. His hair is so crisp looking and his eyes arc so blue—O fudge !“ ■ Her eyes arc so dark and she has adorable dimples—O thunder! The dishes had been washed and wiped—he had insisted on doing that—when Jack relumed. His greeting was effusive and to Betty it seemed all out of place. The idea of Jack calling Burke o!d chap. He should be warned against further mistakes like that. But when Burke had called her “Mary and Jack had almost said something— that was embarrassing. She had said. Everyone here calls me Betty, hut if you would rather, you may call me Mary. It’s really my name. Late that night Betty was still reviewing all the events of the evening and more important, wondering what she should have for breakfast. But can you imagine her surprise when on entering the kitchen the next morning, the aroma of good coffee and sizzling bacon awoke visions of a new maid or even of Mother’s return. Alas—Dick Burke drew from the oven of the electric stove a pan of golden brown biscuits. Betty gasped and vowed that he should never see the biscuits she made. Good morning. Mary. sang Dick. Where will I find the honey? I always eat honey on biscuits and everything else is ready, except Jack. I tried to wake him at five, but he used such bad English that I gave it up. •The—the ice box. the honey is in it. Betty inwardly scolded Jack for being such a block-head and wondered how early Dick believed in getting up. They breakfasted on the porch and Betty liked her cousin better and better. The next few days were a repetition of the firrt and Betty found Dick always at hand. She often wished Dick were her brother. A week passed and altho Dick seemed to be enjoying himself when tramping, boating, fishing or doing any of the other countless things he wished, he seemed restless at home. He is getting tired of just me. thought Betty. Jack is so hopelessly feminine! So Betty proceeded to carry Dick off to a party. He didn't care to dance with anyone but Betty and pleaded a headache so that he managed to take Betty away early. You know. Mary. I like you fearfully well and I'm afraid I'll have to leave to-morrow.” O. but Dick, please don’t go yet. I want you to—that is. Mother would like to see you. Betty felt suddenly that she wanted Dick to stay forever. See here. Dick became terribly stern. “You know. I’m per- fectly—. I’m not any more your cousin than—. Well, anyway. I'm only your cousin’s pal. and he told me to stop off here and tell you folks that he couldn’t possibly get here this month. You were so— well, everything that I took a chance and stayed. I would do any- thing to have you forget about it and sort of adopt me for a friend, but I’m going to-morrow.” He didn't go. tho. for Betty’s father and mother came home, and on learning that Dick had no home, insisted that he stay with them longer. Then quite unexpectedly one night it happened. Betty and Dick were washing dishes, as usual: it wasn't a bit romantic. Dick stopped to finish the short cake, also as usual, and sud- denly remarked: Say, Mary—I mean Betty—You've heard that in the spring a young man's fancy turns to thots of—well, fishing and things like that. Mine don't! It turns to strawberry short cake and you do make the best. Don’t sec how I’m going to get along without it when I leave— unless you’ll come with me. Will you?’’ Mother smiled and finished the dishes. —Louise Nightser. L THE message. ON one of the most popular streets of Atlanta. Georgia, stood a large two-story Colonial house, owned by Martin Castlcton. a popular and wealthy banker of the city. He lived in this old ancestral home with his wife and pretty daughter. Jacqueline, better known as Jackie. lire large, odorous masses of climbing roses that covered both houseAnd fence hitLaay rign of age that might have tried to show itself. The home was so attractive that Cupid couldn’t resist entering, and in a few months after his first visit Jackie was engaged to Bob Saunders. The Castlcton household was in an uproar and no one had time for anything. Miss Jackie had reached the golden age of twenty and she was going to have a birthday party at which her engagement was to be announced. The evening came, the reception was over, and the merriment had just begun, when a messenger interrupted with a telegram for Bob. Fear- ing it open, he read it hurriedly. Bob looked worried and Jackie felt anxious, so throwing a scarf over her shoulder they went into the garden. ITiere he told her that he had been ordered to report at a training camp immediately. Bob left next morning on the ten o'clock train, promising everyone that he would try to get a furlough very soon, but this was one thing he wanted that he never got. He had only been in the camp two weeks when his company sailed for France. After he had reached France, he was rapidly advanced and in his second letter to Jackie, he had been made a Lieutenant. After this no one heard from Bob. Finally word was received from military headquarters that he was reported missing, and was perhaps a prisoner of war in German territory. This was blow enough to Jackie and then not two weeks later word was again received from headquarters that Bob had been killed in action. Several months passed. Jackie had not forgotten Bob. but to please the family, she had agreed to marry Gordon Myers. One afternoon as she was walking across the lawn, she was hailed by a small colored boy. who handed her a badly-worn envelope. Some- thing like an electric shock went up her arm as her fingers closed over it. Hands shook as she tore the envelope open and drew forth a little note written on cigarette paper: More elephants live here. Apples used sour. Endless noise. Beef on bread. Jackie read it several times and finally concluded that some one was playing a joke on her. She read it forwards and backwards, up and down, but could get nothing from it. She could not sleep that night and something inside her seemed to say: Bob lives. Bob lives. until at last she really believed he did so and she determined to go to France herself. Rising quietly, she dressed, packed a few clothes, wrote a note to her father and mother and a letter to Gordon breaking her engagement and slipped unobserved down the back stairway and out into the cool, early morning air. She arrived at the station in lime to catch the first train for New York. After about three weeks of travel she arrived at a Red Cross hospital in France. After varied experiences and urged on by the strange and meaningless message, she disguised herself and made her way to a German prison camp at Mclhausen. Germany,, Here she passed as a German nurse. One day she came aero� a peculiar letter lying on an officer' desk. She tried to read it but found it just a mixture of meaningle word . ITien at the bottom of the page she saw where the message had been ciphered out. by taking the first letter in each word, and in this way a sensible and important message had been made from it. Her mind trav- eled quickly to the letter in her pocket-book. She read it again. More elephants live here. Apples used sour. Endless noise. Beef on bread. She took the first letter in each word and it spelled Mclhauscn, and the beef on bread” spelled Bob. Oh! why hadn't she thot of that before? Maybe now it was too late! That night she was assigned to carry something to eat to one of the prison buildings, and. as she was passing the food around, she came face to face with a pale, thin man lying on a cot. He had one arm in a sling and a horrible looking scar on his forehead; but in spite of these disfigurations Jackie recognized her own precious Bob. and he also recognized her, but. realizing their danger, they acted as strangers. After countless and terrible experiences, which neither ever cared to relate, they succeeded in getting through the German lines, and after the war was over they were married in a little French church and rc- turned in a few weeks to Atlanta. Georgia. U. S. A., where they were received with open arms by every one from the tiniest, blacket picka- ninny up. —Edna Christensen. THE BASKET BALL TALKS ■ .( ! True Story) 1GET awfully lonesome doing nothing, so as much for my own entertainment as yours. I’m going to tell of the most exciting and disappointing day of my life. Remember when we all tied our tics and powdered our noses and went to Cheyenne Well. I was there, and was feeling quite well ex- cept for a little faintness near the heart. (I'm talking about the Chey- enne game.) I decided to do my best if I had anything to say about it—but I didn't. ITiis is all just preparing you for what really happened. Coming home in the evening after the disastrous battle. I felt pretty blue and was in need of comfort and lots of peroxide and bandages. It was awful. I ached all over from my head to my feet and both eyes were black—but that's another story. As I was saying. I felt blue, altho no one seemed to blame me for our tough luck. lire fellows were just as good to me as they always were, but the girls seemed to take more interest in other members of the | team than in me. Girls arc that way. you know. But I must get to the point. Someone decided that I needed exercise. Goodness knows. I didn't—and so I was tossed around and caught again without bothering anyone and without bumping my poor head or skinning my knees. I don't know how it happened, but suddenly as I was flying around I missed my footing and though I struggled to save myself it was in vain. I fell on a large and extremely ferocious looking gentleman from Texas, you kids! He had been asleep but now he awoke with a snort of rage and hung onto me with a grasp so firm that my friends were unable to jerk me away. That unsophisticated I exan drew the largest knife I ever saw from his pocket, all the while raving loudly about the rudeness of West- ern people and their total disregard of a stranger's rights. Then quite suddenly I felt a terrible pain in my side: everything grew black, and that's all I know. I found, upon regaining conscious- ness. that I was being cared for by my team mates, who told me to lie quietly as I was severely wounded. That gentleman from Texas had'' plunged that carving knife into my side three times. But I have the satisfaction of knowing lhal he had to go down in his pockets and pro- duce my equivalent in money. I’ve never felt the same sir.ee— but acci- dents will happen, as I said before. ASSEMBLY SPEAKERS ALTHO we have had very few assembly speakers this year, we have been unusually fortunate, and each speaker had a mes- sage all his own. Dr. Essert of the Methodist Church was our first speaker, and illus- trated very interestingly the well known saying. Hitch Your Wagon to a Star. Dr. Essert is always welcome at the High School and we hope that we may have the opportunity of hearing him often. During the past year we have been especially interested in hcar.ng of the actual experiences of the men in the different branches of the army. Lieutenant Ixslie Jacobs of the aviation corps outlined the dif- ferent forms of training of the aviator and the different kinds of air ships. He also described the tail spins, loop-thc-loops, etc. lire fact that Mr. Jacobs was a former student and graduate of Laramie High School made him all the more welcome. One of our most inspirational speakers this year was Reverend Bat le of the Baptist Church, who chose as his subject The Man Who 'Was Neither Here nor There, the Man Who Was Here but not There, jand the Man Who Was Both Here and There.” Mr. Bat le spoke in his usual forceful and inimitable way. V. Mr. Sullivan gave a very effective talk at the time of the Fourth Liberty Loan Drive, and altho some of us could not buy bonds, we were greatly helped by his talk, and provided with ideas with which to per- suade ollicrs to buy them. Hie last assembly speaker l efore our Annual went to press was Mr. Hess of the Government Agricultural Department. Mr. Hess illus- trated his very practical and valuable address cn wheat rust with num- erous pictures and dried botanical specimens. The entire assembly listened with the keenest interest, especially the science students. Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. are this year two important fac- tors in High School life. The interest in these two organizations has been kept alive by the unusually wide awake speakeis. Mr. Watson of the University spoke to the boys, and Miss Dunn, a traveling secretary for the Y. W. C. A. spoke to the girls. ACADEMIC CONTEST A FEA TURE which added considerable interest to the High School Week this year was the introduction of musical and lit - ary contests. There were three separate contests along this line, interpretative reading, impromptu speaking and singing. In the first contest five schools were entered. Ethlyn Christensen read for Lara- mie High, her selection being The Cynic.” by Henry Ward Beecher. Kenneth Moore represented Laramie High School in the second ccntcst and received first place. Five schools were represented in this content too. Laramie had no candidate for the musical contest. The prizes were awarded to the various winners by Pre;i lent Nelson Saturday night at the close of the basketball tournament. Mr. Kenneth Moore received a sterling watch fob. Here’s to Kenneth.

Superin- tendent Eddlcblutc spoke for the faculty. Miss Bernice Dennis, in behalf of the students of the High School, welcomed the entering class: Richard Costin replied for the Freshmen.

I he first course of this delicious repast was seived f.t the home of Miss Ruth Beckwith. I he party then went to the home of Miss Frances Fellows. lT� c distance between the two houses was long, th: evening perfect, the walk a jolly one and by the time th: guests had arrived at the Fellows' home everyone was ready for the second course. I he table was bounteously spread and artistically decorated in the class colors, jruriband gold� Mrs. Fellows was assisted by Mrs. Beacham and Dorothy Brueckncr. Fhc next home was George Hcgcwald’s. where Mirs Alice Hegewald served a most appetizing fruit salad. Here the red an l_ white of the High School were prettily carried out in all the appoint- ments. rhe last course was at the home of Miss Lucy Emily Holliday and here again the class colors were used very effectively. Lucy Emily had worked out a clever way of seating the guests and the fun was c:n- linucd by a series of question and answers games while th: cla:s were enjoying their ice cream. Dancing, story-telling and songs completed one of the jollies! of Senior class evenings. Fhosc present were Superintendent Eddlcblutc. Mr. and Mrs. Conrey.

Ruth Lohlein, Agnes Stcndahl. Oselia St-nJahl. Margiret Sundby; and the Messrs. George Hegewald. Roy Spicer, and Victor Wenner holm. Miss Mildred Crosbie of Evanston, a former student of Laramie High School, was the guest of honor at a party given by Miss Frances Fellow on February I. The evening was spent in talking over old times and in dancing. At a late hour Mrs. Fellows served a delicious lunch. Those fortunate enough to l c present were: Misses Mildred Crosbie. Mac Abbot. Dorothea Bruckner. Ruth Abbot. Grace Deuel. Cora Johnson and the hostess. One evening last winter the Junior class, accompanied by their advisers, hiked off to a snappy little skating party. The ice was fine and cvcrvl odv skated, with or without skates, until cold and hunger chased them to shore. There, at a big. bla .ing camp fire, good old eats, particularly weinies, were eaten without much regard for etiquette. After getting away with everything possible, the bunch, well-smoked and dirty, proceeded up town to the show. OYSTER SUPPER. AFTER the basket ball game on the evening of January 31. the High School faculty entertained the members of the Evanston and Laramie basket ball teams and their coaches at an oyster supper. The tables in the Domestic Science dining room were un- usually attractive with their snowy linen, sparkling silver, and dair.tv shield-shaped place cards in red and gold. The supper prepared by Mrs. I jbbey and Mrs. Conrey and served by Margaret Dixon. Lucy Emily Holliday. Margaret Sundby. and Ruth Beckwith could not have been better. Both teams say that the supper was excellent, the gj _ jolly, and the good time general. BOYS’ BASKET BALL DINNER THE L. H. S. basket ball boys were exceedingly fortunate in being entertained at a dinner party, given by Coach Hitchcock on Wednesday evening, April 2. Hie High School colors, for which these boys had so proudly fought, were evident in the table decorations. After a bountiful seven-course dinner had l ccn consumed, several mem- bers of the team were called upon for speeches: and finally the coach, who had recently returned from Camp Funston. was persuaded to tell some of his experiences in army life. Each team-member was presented with a carnation and a small basket ball as a souvenir of the occasion, which was enjoyed by George Hegcwald. Donald Rankin. Roy Spicer. Jack Corbett. Howard John- son. Paul Greenwood. Howard Houston. George Greene, and William Holliday. GIRLS’ BASKET BALL DINNER. The members of the L. H. S. girls’ basket ball team spent a most enjoyable evening at the home of their captain. Miss Nina Wurl. on March 14. A bountiful four-course dinner was served by Mrs. Wurl, after which games were played and the girls sang all the popular songs. They had a wonderful time but they all agree that ncvcr-to-bc-forgot- ten dinner was the best part. The team members, the coach and subs were the guests, these being: Eula George. Zida Stinger. Audrey Smart. Virginia Lohlcin, Gertrude McKay. Charlotte Dixon, Lucy Emily Holliday. Ruth Lohlein. Miss Gathe. the coach and the hostess. Nina Wurl. JUNIOR PROM. THE most formal social affair of the year, the Fifth Annual Junior Prom took place Saturday evening. May I 7. I he Gy.r na:.um was tastefully decorated with streamers, which extended from the ceiling to the balcony, where the Elks’ five-piece orchestra furnis'icd music for dancing. The Junior Class colors, black and gold, and th: class flower, the chrysanthemum, predominated in the decorations, the other class colors being prettily blended, carrying out a decorative scheme which has never been surpassed. ITrc cozy corners were formed bv lattice work with flowers entwining over the doors. Big easy chairs, pillows, and magazines gave a very homey” appearance. A large elec- tric sign with Juniors on it was a brilliant addition to the already allur- ing scene. . Each one was able to remember his dances by the dainty 1 programs in the form of yellow chrysanthemums. I A special feature of the evening was the “Old Oaken Bucket from which the happy guests refreshed themselves. Midnight came all too soon. and. as the dreamy strains of Home Sweet Home sounded, the guests left the gym. wishing that they might live the evening over again. � a There have been numerous other social events during the year, which lack of space permits only a brief account. Probably none have been more enjoyed than the gymnasium party and the V. V. C. A. party. l oth having been for girls exclusively. Everyone present reported a fine time and these parties proved that L H. S. may boast a real f pcppy crowd of girls. Cora Johnson. FOOTBALL THE athletics for the season of 1918-1919 have been very suc- cessful. At the beginning of school in September, football started off with a rush. The boys were faithful and came out steadily and a good team was being worked up. Three days before the first game was to be played at Cheyenne the flu” broke out and that put an end to football. 9-----------------------------------.-----------A BASKET BALL When school was resumed after the flu.'' the boys turned out fo; basket ball with a dctciminaticn to make this branch of ath'elics a success. Mr. Hitchcock, returning from the army at this time, took the place as Coach, and through his efforts a good team was turned o-t. The team was small and there was only one letter-man. but never- theless the boys were full of pep and gave a good account of them selves by beating the Preps'' in the first game of the season. Three trips were taken: The first to Rawlins; the second to Chey- enne: and the third to Douglas. Casper and Wheatland. L. H. S. played ten games during the season. Six were won and four lost.

WYOMING ALL-STATE TEAM L. H. S. is proud of the fact that George Hegewald (captain). andJDonald Rankin made the All-State Team. Hegewald made for- ward on the first team, and Rankin guardon the second team. SCRUBS Please don't forget the scrubs. They made the first team a winning team and big things arc expected of them later. The boys who were especially faithful and deserving of mention are Greene. Hol- liday and Houston, substitutes, and DeForest, Pregal, Cordiner, Kon- old. Neal and Gibbs. THECOACH Mr. Hitchcock returned from the Army and became L. H. S.’s coach. He was anxious to have a winning team and worked hard. He was untiring in his efforts and whipped the boys into good shape. L. H. S. hopes to have Mr. Hitchcock as their coach next year. As an emblem of appreciation of the work done by the Basketball team the past season. L. H. S. presented them will, white sweaters hav- . ing a large red L in front and on the left sleeve a red stripe for each year the player has made the team. I'hc men receiving sweaters were Hegewald. Rankin. Spicer, Cor- bett. Johnson and Greenwood. The sweaters were presented by Coach Hitchcock. The boys arc proud of them, but why shouldn't they be? COACH CORBETT No athletic write-up would be complete without mentioning Coach Corbett of the University, who has done so much to make every form of athletics not only in Laramie but in the entire State a success. Coach Corbett has been a good friend of L. H. S. He refereed our games, and the team, students, faculty, and the people of Laramie generally extend good wishes. Here's to Corbett, the good referee; His eye is sharp, his voice is clear; And I think all teams agree T hat he has shown no partiality. TENNIS The Tenni� courts have both been cleaned and have never been in better condition and since this is a game in which the boys and girls can both take part the courts are always crowded. The Tennis Tournament will start May twelfth. I hcre will be boys’ and girls' “doubles and “singles,” and a match with a boy and a girl on each side. Everyone is enthusiastic and the tournament prom- ises to be an interesting one. BASEBALL This year L. H. S. has taken a keen interest in Base Ball. The University and L. H. S. formed a league consisting of six teams, which are as follows: A. T. O. S. A. E. L. H. S. Preps. Faculty Gama Theta The L. H. S. played its first game on May fifth. The game was played on the University diamond between L. H. S. and the Preps and resulted in a victory for L. H. S. by a score of five to three. The men who played in this game were: Libbey. catcher. Johnson, shortstop. Eddleblute, pitcher. P. Russell, right field. Corbett, first base. Konold, center field. E. Hitchcock, second base. J. T. Russell, left field. Houston, third base. Moore, right field. Fisher, center field. Laramie plays five more games before the season is over and hopes to be successful in all of them. w GYM” WORK GYMNASIUM was compulsory again this year and all of the girls except three were physically fit to take it. l he work has been enjoyed and very much has been accomplished.

The basketball this season was more successful than for three preceding years. The interdas� games did much to show up the material in the High School and it created a greater interest in this branch of athletics. In these games the Juniors defeated the “Freshics by a score of 18-1 ; the Seniors defeated the Sophomores 11-4. We are proud of the basketball team in the season just closed. For three years Cheyenne defeated the L. H. S. on their home floor and twice on the Laramie floor. The ;ast game this year showed Cheyenne what the L. H. S. team was made of. On March I. the first game that the girls played, took place at Cheyenne. Cheyenne won by a score of 25-19. On March 22. the return game was played at Laramie. It was a great contest but all Laramites were confident that the home team would win. so in both games they stood with them. This encouraged the girls a great deal and they piled up a score of 21-12 in L. H. S.’s favor. The feature of this game was that the team seemed to be full of L. H. S. foiwards and they made a remarkable showing for themselves. As for guarding, the Cheyenne forwards seemed helpless and in the center the battle waged hotter than anywhere else. Coach Hitchcock refereed this game THE COACH By the untiring efforts of Miss Galhc the girl� put themselves inta the basketball work with vigor. Miss Galhe is an expert in her line and has a way of making the girl� enjoy their work. Tire game� of this year show the results of her efforts. Y. W THE Young Woman' Christian Association has been a succe and it will be a red letter year for the local when it becomes af- filiated with the National High School Organization of the West Central Field. The meetings have been very interesting and varied. Miss B'uk- holder, the traveling secretary, told of the works of the Y. W. C. A. and of its conventions: Dean Joslin discussed Ihe Cross as a Sym- bol”: Mr . Holliday showed how Y. W. C. A. could help the com munity; Mrs. Dennis gave a reading: Mr. Eddlebulte. Mrs. Eby and others gave most helpful talks. Some of the Y. W. C. A. girls also took part. Louise Night er took as her subject The Second Mile”: Bernice Dennis and Charlotte Dixon also gave talks. The Y. W. C. A. girls gave a never-to-be-forgotten party at the gymnasium for the rest of the High School girls and there never was a better time. During the evening the organization decided to C A. become national. The girls arc also looking forward with great interest to a picnic before school is out. The girls are sorry to learn that Miss Gathe is not to be here next year. We wish her prosperity wherever she may go. The membership for the year is forty-four.

The goal that ends our High School career, A milepost we’re proud to pass. When one work is finished, another begun. By the members of 19’s Class. It brings sad feelings to all of us To leave thee, dear Laramie High. And soon we’ll have drifted far away With the years that go hurrying by. But we will oft recall our old time friends. And the pleasures that used to be. And there’ll be a large place for Laramie High In the Book of Memory. Only a few short weeks are left. Until Graduation Day. When we shall don both cap and gown. And our last good-byes we’ll say. But after we’ve left these sacred halls We’ll remember thee, Laramie High. And recall the sorrow that it caused us all. When we had to say good-bye. —Charlotte D:xon.
