CUAIIH ERP5 phgsical director oi the school from 1914 to 1942 if This opening page of the faculty section of the 1942 edition of the Terror Trail is dedicated to Coach Ioseph W. Erps. Loved and revered by all the boys on his athletic teams, admired by the students and the faculty of Colorado Springs High School, he has carried the banner of Brown and White to a national pinnacle. He has built up an unbelievable record: 95 straight basketball victories, the mythical national football championship of 1923, and seven consecutive tennis championship records. Mr. Erps placed particular emphasis on physical development rather than winning championships. Cften referred to by sports writers as the Rockne of Prep Basketball, he has instilled in all the boys who have had the privilege of his tutorage a fundamental understanding of the principles of fair play and sportsmanship. Perhaps this is the most fitting tribute that can be paid him- a builder of good citizens. Coach Erps was always a gentleman, both on the floor and off, and will be greatly missed by everyone.

IN CITED The simple laboratory ex- periments d o ne by the chemistry s t u d e n t are valuable lessons in ac- curacy, reliance, in train- ing the mind to observe closely. T h e s e and the wonder of ancient creeds and peoples, the unlimited scope of mathematics, the joy in art and music, all the things which we glean from our books give us a rich background. We are significant products of a democratic school system. BQ KNUWLEDEE
