We wished simply to put out a book that would stir up enough enthusiasm in the school to warrant the publication of a similar book in the following years. We also realize that we could have done better but we tried to do our best with the available means and resources and this book is the result of our endeavors. We do not like to complain but we really feel that we have not had the school support we should have had. It seemed that the school took a decidedly opposite stand and refused to help us, giving as an excuse, we were to get the honor so we could do the work. We did not expect this spirit and it has been one of the decided draw-backs to the publication of this annual for, with but a few exceptions, the material for this annual is the result of Senior minds and work. But enough of this complaining, we are glad that we have had the chance to publish this book and only hope that in the coming years subsequent Seniors will take up the work and gradually work up the annual to a standard as high as that, if not higher, than any other High School. The Editor sat in his easiess chair And his brow was furrowed deep with care On desk, chairs and tables, scattered about. Lay material for the “annual soon to come out. And as he scanned each manuscript page “Such rubbish,” he groaned in despair and rage. “Senseless twaddle —“trash —“worse and worse Were his comments— Of all the blank verse This is the blankest. Such witless wit, Such pointless jokes. No one will be hit, And this prose is the prosiest ever— Not even good English and not at all clever— I wonder if there is an item that could, In justice and reason, be really called good, The annual must and SHALL make a hit If I work day and night; and with never a bit Of support from our brilliant class of ’i i Who would scrap outside the gates of Heaven. The brain and pen of Horace Greeley Is needed to make this venture a “really And truly” success. And to fail--------” (The horrible thought made the Editor pale) I'll be gray—or bald—before 1 am through Even now I may be. (Then forth he drew His pocket companion—tried and true) And as he gazed at his own reflection His face lost its look of care and dejection In its place came wonder and glad surprise. “How beautiful” he impulsively cries, For the locks above his brow had risen In martial array and graceful precision— “ I he pompador of my dreams come true And still it stands like sentry true. Pledged to see the annual through.” HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING. PRESCOTT. ARIZONA Retrospect and Prospect “Felix quo potuit rerum cognoscere causas. “Happy the man chose steadfast eye surreys The whole worlds truths, its hidden works and ways. APPY. too, the boy or girl who lias made at least a beginning toward an understanding of the processes of nature and a knowledge and appreciation of human achievement. In this jubliant mood the Prescott High School is now sending forth its seventh graduating class and may be pardoned if it calls the attention of the public to the service it has rendered and promises to render in the future. Forty graduates have gone forth from its class-rooms, about ninety per cent of whom have entered some higher institution of learning, either technical or normal school, college or uni- versity. They are scattered all over this broad land from Stan- ford to W ellesly, and. and with one exception, have been ad- mitted everywhere without examination, upon the school’s recommendation. 1 he foundation of its curriculum is a uniform requirement made up of four years’ work in English : two in Ancient, Med- ieval and Modern History: two and one-half in Mathematics: two in Physics and some other science: and two in foreign language, either ancient or modern. In order to graduate a pupil has to supplement this with three and one-half units from elective studies. His choice of electives determines whether he is to graduate from a Latin-Scientific, Scientific. Literary. Latin-Modern or Manual-Training course. Systematic work in various forms of public speaking is a part of the work in Eng- lish and one hour a week is devoted to choral music. Not the least important is the care and attention given both to indoor and outdoor athletics and to the social diversion of pupils, whenever these are carried on under the auspices of the school. The average American High School makes its chief claim to excellence on the basis of its record as a preparatory school. Yet we are confident that the few. who. have been obliged to give up their intellectual pursuits upon graduation, have at least taken up lift’s problems upon a higher plane, with better dis- ciplined mind, with fuller knowledge of the world’s treasures, with greater reserve power and with higher ideals of conduct than those who dropped out at the completion of the elemen- tary course. 1 herefore we believe that too much importance should not be ascribed to the current criticism that the high school leads nowhere except to the university. Aside from the more strictly acamedic courses the school has, to the extent of its resources, responded to the industrial idea, which has had such rapid growth during the last few years. It offers a special two years’ course in commercial sub- jects for those who are from any cause not adapted to the strain of a four-year course leading to graduation. Further than that, in its manual training course, mentioned above, it offers work in carpentry, wood turning, metal art work and mechanical drawing, while cooking and advanced sewing are promised for the near future. It does not require Greek oracle to foretell that this idea is destined to develop much farther, as it has already in older and wealthier communities. However we believe that this industrial idea should not be over emphasized to the extent of overshadowing our interest in the artistic and the purely intellectual, if America is to develop an intellectual and artistic supremacy of her own : that young men and women should learn to honor the man of learning as he would the captain of industry and prize the possession of wisdom and philosophic insight as they would the technical skill required for constructing a steel bridge. After all civiliza- tion is a complex matter and no one idea either in politics or education will solve all the problems that it presents. As a wise old Roman once remarked : “Wide is the field of action in a state, and for many an open highway unto glory.” Per- haps the sanest view is that young men and women should acquire and assimilate a full share of the world’s truth and beauty and equip themselves to play an efficient and worthv part in the society that is waiting to receive them.

FRANK HART, Business and Science Science and Mathematics c PRESCOTT RESCOTT WAS the first permanent Ameri- can settlement in the Territory of Arizona, having been established in 1862. When Arizona became a political subdi- vision under United States jurisdiction, the seat of government was removed to this city, February, 1864. Following the founding of Whipple Bar- racks, a military post just outside the present corporate limit of the city, the settlement grew very fast: so that by 1871, it had become the commercial center for the northern part of the Territory. Tt has maintained this prestige, growing more and more as the years passed, until, today, its prominent men are the representative citizens of the Southwest, not only in the learned professions, but in every walk of life. In 1900. a disastrous fire swept the city, destroying a large portion of the business community and necessitating the entire rehabilitation of the mercantile quarter. The reconstruction has been carried out with an idea of architectural harmonv and beauty, which gives Prescott unqualified prestige as the most ornate and substantial business community, for a citv of its size, 6,000, on the American continent. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American war. in 1898. Prescott was the first city in the Great Southwest to furnish its cpiota toward the formation of the historic “Rough Riders, placing in charge as its captain. Willnm O. O’Neill, then major, and affectionately known as “Buckey” O’Neill, who died a hero in the engagement before San Juan Hill, and whose life-size equestrian statue in bronze in the plaza is one of the characteristic sights of the citv. Next to its situation, surmounting the very heart of the so-called '‘arid region, at an altitude of 5347 feet. Prescott’s climate is its chief lure. Nestled among mountains on all sides, in a thickly-wooded pine belt, it is insured against severe sand-storms, so prevalent in lower altitudes and protected to a very large extent from winds. The water supply, coming from living mountain springs twenty miles distant, is marked by clear, healthful and pleasing to the taste and has been pronounced pure bv the Government Chemist at Washington. The climate of Prescott is ideal. At all seasons of the year, the temperature is pleasant. July and August, the hot- test months, are thoroughly enjoyable, a blanket being re- quisite every night, while the winter days are delightfully mild, bright and sunny. The relative degree of humidity is very low at all seasons, giving zest to study, which, no doubt, accounts in part for the high intellectual standard maintained by the pupils of the Prescott schools. C hurch life is active in this city, there being seven well- appointed and commodious houses of worship, with pulpits regularly supplied by pastors of unusual ability. A fine Car- negie Library, replete with books on every subject, is one of the metropolitan features of Prescott. Among the civic institutions, The Prescott Chamber of Commerce, having an active membership of 230. deserves es- pecial mention. I he '1 avapai C lub, devoted to the housing and entertainment of its 200 resident and non-resident members, occupies one of the finest buildings in Arizona. Club life among the women is well exemplified in the Monday Club, which takes a vital interest in every phase of civic and social progress and which would be a credit to any city of ten times the size of Prescott. Projects now in train, the purpose of which is the building up of the city and the county of Yavapai, will undoubtedly be the means of doubling the present population of Prescott, before 1915 and making it. more than ever. “The Place To Live.” PUBLIC LIBRARY.

IXCE this is a publication of the High School and we are a very modest and retiring class we will not take much space in praising ourselves. This much we will say that we are as large a class as has ever graduated from the Prescott High School and this much more we will say we are second to none in learning and in comparison of our size with the other classes, 1 might add in athletics. We consist of exactly thirteen members. Sounds unlucky but it’s not, as our records will show, for we came out second in the field meet with only four men to work with against the large and worthy track team of the Juniors, since we do not consider that the Sophmores or the Freshmen were in it at all. Our numbers have been fairly large since we were Fresh- men. Of course we have lost cpiite a few and that pulls our numbers down, but for those we have lost we have gained others who have proved up to the standard of the original class. In learning as I have said before, we are unsurpassed. We are always well represented in the “A” list and never fail to have the larger per cent of the remainder on the “B” list. In the labratories our work is always up to the highest standard and in the recitation class we always hold our own. In ref- erence to recitation class I would refer you to English. There is a class that no one fails in. There is a class that everyone loves. There is a class that everyone works (?) hard for. To sum it all up it is “THE” class of the Seniors. In Physics we are far ahead of our times. To prove this all the girls are constantly endeavoring to find a way to make electricity flow through the insulation on the wire. Ewing is constantly finding out new things as for instance, a Leyden jar can give a good shock. Douglas has discovered a new wav to connect batteries in series-multiple, and Irene, Frances. Myrtle and Ernestine have discovered a way to get a German lesson during Physics lab. But in the German and Latin classes we reach our highest pinnacle of fame for I have it from the lips of Miss Edwards and Mr. Baker themselves that their respective pupils give some of the most original and—unexpected translations they have known. So you see it is with cpiite a great deal of pride that we can point to ourselves as the most original class that has ever left Prescott High School. “FAVORITE SONGS OF THE SENIORS.” “Stumpy”—“There ’ain’t no harm for to hug and kiss your “Cousins.” Harold—“I wonder whose kissing Pearl now.” Blanche—“Put your foot on the soft, soft, pedal.” Carrie—“Call me up some rainy afternoon.” Frances and Roy—“Just a girl and a bov.” Susie—“I want to powder my nose.” Irene and Max—“The longer we’re together the harder it is to part.” Glae—“The longest wav 'round is the sweetest way home.” Rowena—“Please go find my Billy Boy.” Ruth—“Can't you see I’m lonely.” Ernestine—“If I only had a sweetheart.” Douglas—“Any little girl that’s a nice little girl is the right little girl for me.” Ewing—“I’m afraid to go home in the dark.” SENIOR Q UTATIONS TAKEN FROM THE PLAY. Glae—“You have to know me a little while before you really like me.” Harold—“T made seven speeches.” Carrie—“She is the dearest sweetest little girl in all the world.” Ewing—“Everywhere he has been he has created a furore.” Ruth—“I’m not a dead one. I'm from Duluth not Philadelphia.” Blanche—“That face.” Ernestine—“She has a good face.” Irene—“And I’ve something else to tell you that will nearly break your heart.” Douglas—“Another excuse and everyone a good one.” Thomas—“Well of all the nerve.” Susie—“I have no complaints to make.” Rowena—“A most remarkable woman.” r HAS BEEN twelve long years, classmates, since we started out on the broad highway of learning and now we have arrived at one of it's important way-marks. When we started in at the kindergarten there were a lot of us, but some have dropped out and others have gone away until there are onlv six of our original number left. We can all remember well the first grade, where Miss Strange taught us our A-B-C’s, with the pictures at the top of the blackboard in that old grammar school. Miss Edwards came next to install in our minds the wonders of the second grade. She used to make us stand in the corner for punish- ment, and do you remember how she used to, love flowers, and how we lavished her with all kinds but especially the “sore-eye” flowers which were plentiful on the school grounds? The picture we had taken in that grade is, T dare say. familiar to all of us. Stumpy Ross is sitting in the front row looking so pleasant, with his round chubby face all smiles and his broad white collar turned sideways. A little farther down the line is Harold Elliott, who has always been the bright and shining star of our class. Yes—that proverbial smile that won’t come off is on his face but his hands are not in his pockets. Douglas Aitken comes next sitting up straight and dignified as though he really knew something. Carrie Heisler and Irene Hesla in their clean white aprons are in the next row looking prim and sober. Yours-truly is the back row with my eyes squinted up which makes it impossible to recognize me. For the fourth grade we were moved to the High School building' because the new grammar school was being built and there was not enough room for us in the old building. We had lots of fun there, especially when we played those famous games of “Fox and Geese and Run Sheep Run,” etc., around the woodshed which stood where the janitor’s house is now. Tn this grade we had the good luck to secure a new member to this memorable class and Ernestine Lund joined our happy family. The fifth and sixth grades—and Miss Beidelman—came next. Who of oits can ever forget the snap of her black eyes when she became angry, or the paddle that she used so freely. That reminds me of the little episode in which Thomas and Douglas were concerned. They thought it would be a real act of benevolence to destroy the teacher’s paddle and conse- quently set to work one evening and whittled it to pieces. The next day they were put to work in manual training making another and fearing that it would be used on them they stuffed their trousers full of cotton thinking they would make the punishment lighter. However this plan was not successful, for the next day they were taken by surprise and soundlv thrashed. Tn the seventh grade Miss Langdon was quite a contrast to our former teacher. e thought she was the dearest teacher we had ever had. One time when she was thrown from a horse and had to stay away from school for a while, we had a substitute and the way we behaved was “something terrible.’’ Don't you remember, classmates, bow naughty we were? But we were now doomed to another blow for here we were joined by Blanche allingford who so far surpassed us in all respects we were nearly ashamed. Tn the eighth grade we considered ourselves quite smart and looked forward to the time when we should enter High School and set an example hard to beat. But our hopes fell for an evil spirit in the shape of Ewing Tribby entered our class and we thought it was useless to think of ever obtaining more than the average. But such was not the case as time has shown, although he readily branded himself a “tender-foot” bv nronouncing “Apache” “A-pash-a.” High School came next and my how smart we thought ourselves when we went to school the first day as green Freshmen. But we were soon made to understand our place and stood in awe of the great Seniors. There were about thirty of us from the eight grade and several more joined us in the High School. Of those that joined us in High onlv Susie and Glac are left. We have always been noted for mischief but we sure beat all former records in our Freshman year. bo will ever forget the Ancient History class or the assembly room under Miss Gladfelter. Who does not remem- ber the tying of each other's hair to the backs of the desks and benches in the small recitation room? Do von remember the telegraph instruments William Norris and C.iae Paul had when Miss Gladfelter had placed one of them at the front and the other at the back of the room ? These were great times but still better were to come. In the Sophmore year the Senior Class Meetings, which have since become such notable events in the Hign School, were started and Ted Ross, our president at that time, was given his first lesson in tact and brilliancy for one certainly needed and needs it yet to run a Senior Class Meeting. Why? We are all high spirited and headstrong and each of us is al- ways wanting his way or none at all. After a few weeks, or was it monti.s, of wrangling we decided on our class colors and a few weeks later at the Sophmore dance we had the hall beautifully decorated with brown and gold crysanthemums. Everyone acknowledged we had surpassed all former endeavors in decorating the hall. During this year and at the very close we lost two members that had been with us since kindergarten. Ted Ross and Johnston Horn. Annie Morris and William Conklin, both of whom had joined the class a short time pre- vious, also left us and our class was left rather small in num- bers but just as large in enthusiasm. The Junior year was just as eventful, if not more so, than the other years. We lost two of our leading members, William Xorris and Edith V ren but in their places we received Frances Hertzler and Rowena Deming. This year saw much evidence of class rivalry and spirit. The Seniors started proceedings by painting their numerals around the premises. Not to be outdone we did the same but were wise enough to use paint that would come off and consequently when we were called up over it we had a much easier time than the Seniors. We also had a slumber party this year. We had all gone to Edith Wrens for the evening and were having a good time when along came some school boys who besieged us till the ‘'wee- small hours of the morning finally getting froze out and leav- ing us to ourselves. And now we are about to finish our Senior year. The vear has been uneventful on the whole but yet we have each and everyone enjoyed this year as much as any. To me it has passed so quickly that it all seems too recent to be history, but at any rate it seems that events of this year have been indelibly stamped on our minds and that although we may, in time, forget the other years, we will never be able, quite, to forget the happenings of our Senior year in the Prescott High. And all these happenings tend to do one thing—bring us to the conclusion: Classes come and classes go. Like summer sun and winter snow, But to me the best class under heaven Is our own class of Nineteen 'leven. RUTH HAISLEY, Yi. Standing' M ARGI’ERIT E STEVENS. KENNETH BEATSON. ANDREW TROUTZ.

Ask a wise and learned Senior about what common center the entire Universe revolves and he will grow white and answer in a strained voice, “The Juniors. What need to speak of the six mole-skin clad warriors that represented us on the gridiron, or our over-whelming victory in the Track meet? What need to speak of our brilliant stars in the class-room, or our classy girls, Thespians and orators? We would by only too happy to see, in the future, some class come into the school that would equal, if not surpass, us. But, we realize, dear classes, that this is the unattainable. And now, we will draw upon our wisdom and give a word of advice to each and all of you. Freshmen—we bless you, dear children.—Let us attempt to convey to your infantine minds the one and only Short Cut to Graduation; catch a pony” and ride for dear life. Sophomores, you will soon be coming into a great respon- sibility; you are soon to take into your youthful and inexper- ienced hands the reins that guide the Junior class. You will find many a chuck-hole in the road, but by following closely the broad, plain tracks that we have left, you will avoid many a jolt and brutal knock. To the Seniors we have nothing to say. To the teachers we can only say be cheered bv the knowl- edge we will return to P. H. S. next year. v vy Standing:—-J A MES FARLEY. EVEHETT MEADE. DONALD BURMTSTEK. CHARLES MeLANE. ALBERT CRAWPORI).

X THANKSGIVING day before one of .the largest and most enthusiastic crowds Pres- cott ! as ever turned out to witness an ath- letic event, the Prescott High School football team defeated t! e Phoenix High School team by a score of n to 5. The game was fast ■'lid furious from t1 e start and exceedingly good work was done on both sides and es- pecially on Prescott's side since Phoenix had them out- weighed. In the very opening of the game Prescott displayed to the onlookers a pretty example of stone-wall defense by holding Phoenix for three downs on t! e two yard line and what is more with a line that had. with a few exceptions, never been in a game before. During this quarter neither side scored and at the whistle e’ch team trotted to a different end of the field and took a three minute rest. In the second quarter by several successive and brilliant plays Prescott worked the ball to the one yard line from where Merritt by a dive through center made the first touch- down of the game. lTpoti resuming play both sides were at it harder than ever but the quarter ended without further scoring. This quarter Prescott again scored. Lowry tried an on- side kick. Jackson (Phoenix) got under the ball but fumbled and Crawford regained it and ran down the field for a tuoch- down. Crawford then kicked goal making the score 11 to o in favor of Prescott. The playing was resumed and in just a few minutes Captain Crawford was injured and forced to leave the game. Brinkmeyer, left end, took his place and Mc- Nulty. substitute, took Brinkmeyer’s place and the ball was again put in play. Phoenix now rushed the ball to within a few feet of the goal but the Prescott team once more braced itself and held them and Phoenix was unable to score. By a desperate rally in the fourth quarter, Phoenix carried the ball to the three yard line but was unable to break Pres- cott’s defense and lost the ball on downs. Crawford kicked the ball out of bounds on the five yard line giving the ball to Phoenix from which point Phoenix once more rallied and by successive plunges carried the ball over for their first and only touchdown. Goebel failing to kick goal; the score was ii to 5 in favor of Prescott. After a few minutes more of heartless play the game ended and Prescott had, for the first time in a long time, beaten her old rival Phoenix. There was great evidence of clever individual playing on both sides. Goebel deserves a greatdeal of credit for saving Phoenix from a more severe drubbing for in several instances when the ball was in dangerous territory his foot would send it whirling down the field and Prescott would have to take the ball and begin all over. Jackson was the man who gained ground for Phoenix and made their only touchdown. Prescott's star was Lowry who, whenever he was called, hit the Phoenix line for a good substantial gain. Merritt, quarter-back, was the guiding spirit through the game and his plesantries all through the game kept the Prescott boys in good spirits. Captain Crawford was another individual player lor Prescott duplicating in this game a trick he is noted for that is, grabbing a fumbled ball and running for a touch-down. Little “btumpy Ross was the boy who took every one's eye for by tackling fellows three times as big as he was and holding on to every forward pass he made a deep impression with the Prescott and well yes—Phoenix fans. FOOTBALL BANQUET. In appreciation of the defeat of the Phoenix High School football team by the Prescott High School team in the Thanks- giving day game, the business men of Prescott tendered the football team and other members of the squad, a dinner at the Yavapai Club. The table was decorated in Blue and Gold with goal posts at either end of the table and a blue and gold football in the center. An enjoyable four course dinner was served after which the coach, captain, referee, umpire and several members of the squad delivered short speeches. George Merritt was elected captain of next years team and after cheering the hosts of the dinner the boys went to the Elk’s theater as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Howard and spent a pleasant hour there. Upon leaving the theater the boys walked the town cheering individual members of the team and celebrating their victory generally. INTER CLASS TRACK MEET. On May 12, 1911 the High School held it’s first inter-class track and field meet under the new rules at the ball park. The Juniors won the meet by a score of 87 while the Seniors were second with a score of 29. The Freshmen were next with a score which, if you wished to see it, you would have to have a microscope while the Sophmores were worse yet than the Freshmen. This meet was held under the rules given to and adopted by the Athletic Association this spring. The rules stated that the winning class was to have it’s numerals on a banner placed in a conspicuous place in the High and was to keep them there one year until the next meet when the winning class then would have their numerals on it, etc. Crawford was the star of the day taking first in nearly every event he was in. Of course Chester had the advantage in being an all-round athlete but he worked hard and sometimes against large handicaps for what he gained. Brinkmeyer who was second displayed a lot of natural ability winning all his events with ease, lint to the Seniors Thomas “Stumpy Ross was the only man in the event. Thomas is small and apparently had no show at all but with surprising ability and agility he combated throughout the en- tire meet with unceasing- energy against large and small odds alike and won second place in the meet for the Seniors. 1 he following is a list of the students who won monograms this year: FOOTBALL — Chester Crawford.

N SATURDAY, December loth, on the High School court, Prescott High School’s girl basketball team defeated the team of the Flag- staff Normal by the score of 12 to 10. The victory was a complete surprise to everyone and did more towards elating the High School than any previous victory unless it was the Phoenix-Prescott football game, hlagstaff had a splendid team but were a little over-confi- dent and when Prescott's forward threw a goal the first minute of play. Flagstaff was so surprised that she played in a stupor the rest of the half. This half ended o to a in Prescott’s favor. I he next half Flagstaff rallied, and playing a wonderful game, succeeded in tying the score the half ending with the score tied. According to the rules, play must continue till one side or other scores at least two points more than their oppon- ents. So the play went on until Prescott succeeded in scoring two points, winning the game by the score stated above. The credit for the victory should be given to Miss Theresa hrederieks who coached the Prescott girls. She worked patient- ly and hard with the girls for weeks before the game and it is due to her skillful and clever coaching that the girls are able to say they defeated one of the strongest teams in the Territory. We can only say that we are all proud of having such 'a team to represent old Prescott High, and are only regretting that the team did not have the chance to go south and there win the Territorial championship.—For we feel sure they could have easily done so. HE SOCIAL CAREER of the F. H. S. stu- dents has not been very remarkable this year as a matter of fact to the Senior, who has been used to a royal good time from the time school started till it ended, this year has been rather tame. At the beginning of school we had hay-rides and marshmallow toasts but these gradually died away as Thanksgiving and the Phoenix game approached. The night after the game a most enjoyable dance was given to the team and everybody did their best to make Phoenix have a good time and forget the defeat. The majority of the Phoe- nix fellows displayed their sportsmanship by coming and ming- ling with their opponents of the afternoon as though they were brothers instead of rivals. Then came the Flagsta- and Senior dances, both of which were thoroughly enjoyed. Of late the tendency has been to skate and twice the boys have rented the skating rink of a Saturday morning and had the girls down for a most enjoyable and------bumpy time for on the whole the High was uneducated in the art of skating and as Mr. Hart wittingly put it, they had to wear old clothes and----plenty of them. In the entertainment line we have had the usual Freshman and Sophomore public speaking appearances and the Junior play in which the respective classes acquitted themselves very well. To top all off we announce the Senior play which we earnestly feel will excell all others in brilliancy for our class lias been noted for amateur theatricals since we were Soph- mores and made our first Public Speaking appearance in “Let- ters for Smith.” N THE MORNING of September 6. xyio there appeared in High School the biggest set of “Green-lorns” the High School has ever received in one assignment. For the first few days thev stood around in excited groups commenting on this and that, always avoiding the scornful looks of the upper-class- men and the stern piercing gaze of Miss Gibbs, but in a few days, as all Freshmen will, they began to pick up courage and soon could be sem endeavoring to break into the society of staid Juniors and Seniors without results. They did succeed in gaining the endurance of the Sophmores and appeared content with that. The class is composed mostly of girls who are so conscious of their charms that they do all thev can to make upper class- men notice them. They have failed in most cases although we regret that one charming (?) little miss did succeed in catching the heart of one of the Senior hovs hut not knowing how to handle it, it slipped out through a 1 ole in the net. Tt was really amusing to watch th ur track antics at the field meet and to watch the strained expression on the Fresh- man girls faces as Milev rushed, with tKe yau'ting pole in his hand, to clear 10 feet and tl en to see their dear faces cloud as he kept on running under the standards without even leaving the ground. To see them prancing about in their earnest en- deavors to run was the most amusing. Tn the hundred it was impossible for them to even keep in sight of that crippled omni- bus, Glae Paul. And in the other races they were always content to bring up the rear breathing hard. Of course we expect that as they go on t’ ev will, gradually grow stronger until at bst thev are real Seniors hut at the present at least it is most amusing to watch them and if for no other use but this the Freshman class is a fixture of the High School. D Interesting Data on the Discovery of Professor Horton Written on Mars, 3011, A. D. T LAST the report of Prof. Horton on the discoveries made on the Earth in the vicinity of Prescott is finished. This discovery, which was made about two years ago. was one of the most successful of the many which have been made in the last few centuries, due probably to the altitude and perfect atmos- phere of this ancient .city. A great deal of time and labor has been expended in translating the documents which they found, but the interesting results have easily repaid the time and effort spent. By far the most interesting discoveries in this city was the discovery of an ancient building which Prof. Horton calls a High School building. In this building were found many papers and documents which have since been preserved in the museum of Antiquities at Estan, Mars. These documents tell of a class which graduated from the High School in the year 1911, A. D. The records show that this class greatly exceeded any other in brilliancy, intelligence and fame. The reputation of it’s members was known for miles around. They possessed a cabinet of curiosities. Among the articles of interest and value was found Glae Paul’s patent pocket comb, mirror and manicure set combined. They are greatly prized since they show much use by the owner. A very choice specimen of Douglas’ slang has been found and interest is running very high as to whether it was original or stolen from a Miss Vorce. Our modern inventors will be much interested in a crude type of self-propeled vehicle bearing the initials “P. D. Q.” and in spite of the most diligent efforts of eminent linguists these signs have not been translated. Another bit of work was presented to the linguists when a placard bearing strange writings was presented to them but they have reached the conclusion that it is the notice of an auction sale held in the spring of nineteen eleven in which Frances Hertzler sold to the highest bidder, one Elliott but as yet the first name can not be discovered. Upon a sheet of a Vergil book was found a grease spot which careful analysis proves to be all that was left of Mr. Baker bv the Latin class. Mr. Horton has preserved a choice specimen of the 20th century complexion. It was once the property of a Ewing Tribby, and Prof. Horton has it preserved in oleomargerine and tissue paper. The knowledge which we now possess of this class is greatly increased by the finding of a book, “The Blue and Gold” published by the class of 1911. Their brilliance and ingenuity is further shown by the statement that this was the first hook of it’s kind to he published hv the High School. It is by far the most valuable of all doucments yet found on the Earth. Tt contains pictures of the class and from these some of the characteristics of the 20th century man can be obtained. Citing Prof. Horton he says: “I have carefully studied the features of each member and have discovered the following attributes to be dominant in each one. Their class president was Glae Paul and by his face I can see that he was very well fitted for this most arduous task and one of the most evident points in his expression is the absolute knowledge of the fact. Thomas Ross was the treasurer. He is somewhat short in stature and after careful study and investigation bv our national physicians we have agreed that he was stunted by the amount of worry connected with handling the immense class funds. His eyes seemed turned in a southern direction and it is probable that he was strongly attracted by some in- fluence or member of the Freshman class. “We found a very downcast look on a certain Trene Hesla’s face and after investigation found a great number of initials in her desk pertaining to the different fellows she knew and we at once attributed her perplexed look to trying to decide be- tween two particularly large sets of initials—M. E. and G. P. There was a particular look of satisfaction on a Miss Ruth Haisley’s face due. we think, to her translations of T.atin noth- ing like them ever having been seen or heard before. Tt ap- pears that mischief must have been rampant in this class for under Susie Mahoney’s picture little Ewing had written: “Tittle dabs of powder Little dabs of paint. Make sweet Sue’s complexion Look like what it aint.” “The mode of hair dressing seems to have been very pecul- iar in this age. For instance the picture of Carrie Heisler had to be made larger in order to accomodate her style of hair- dressing. The picture of a rather stout earth-being, Rlanche Wallingford, shows great contentment and T am of the opinion she must have made her teacher hear what she was saying just before having her picture taken. “By the smile of Frances Hertzler's face we decided that a certain male earth-being whose name, we found, begins with “E” must have been near by at the time. But the greatest dis- covery of all and the one of most scientific value was the discovery of two members of this c’ ss with fierv color hair and we now think we see the solution of tl e Wo comets which appeared near the earth and were visible here during the year 1910. “I will carefully keep the “Blue and Gold” and will let nothing come between me and my work till T have discovered more interesting things concerning this most wonderful class of nineteen hundred and eleven.” ROWENA DEMING, ’11. Yesterday’s Hero HE INHABITANTS of Dry Creek had ceased to stare with wide-open eyes, and, wonder of wonders, had even grown tired of gossip- ping at seeing Zeke Parsons, the grizzled old store-keeper, trodging up. cane in hand, to the Widow Lannigan’s house at supper time. It became monotonous, he did it so often. But if the townspeople found it •monoton- ous, it was certainly anything but that for Zeke. And who could blame him, for the Widow was in truth a very desirable article, being an excellent cook and extremelv good-looking. Tf he found an incumbrance in her two overgrown, sixteen-vear- old twins, he could easily pass over that. At least everv other• evening he would come in, lay his cane against the wall, and take his place at the table. The meal itself was usually a silent affair, because of the twins. But. the meal over, tbev did not linger long, but betook them- selves to regions remote. Then the two lovers would turn the oil lamp low and move over to the double seat in the corner. The Widow would cuddle up against his manlv shoulder, and listen while he told her of manv deeds of heroism in earlv days. “Back in Seventy-Six. he would begin. “F li Boggs an me was a Fringin' a partv o’ travellers ’cross th’ Mojave, an—’—. And when he had finished, hours later, fthe twins seldom returned in time to interrupt them I she would give him a lov- ing. trusting, proud look, and murmer softly. “Ah. Zeke dear, an’ ve’re after bein’ sich a darin’ and bra-ave mahn.” But error will creep in. and in some unaccountable and my- . sterious manner the Twins learned of these autobigraphical tales of heroic deeds. One morning Twin One found time to sav between the mouthfuls of hot-cakes. “Say. mum, ol Zeke is a orful bra-ave mahn. ain’t he?’’ “A bra-ave mahn. indade,” burst out the Widow fervently, and then recovering herself, she hastily added. “Faith, an' how am Oi t’ know? Do he after tellin’ me whot makes ye think thot.” “Why,” answered Twin One. enthusiastically, “th’ Sheriff was after tellin' me thot whin he was in Coconino County once after some outlaws. Zeke exposed his loife t’ terr-rihle dangers an caught th’ outlaws. “Yes,” burst in Twin Two, ‘an ‘Ol’ Toimer’ Bannerrin' was a tellin me thot once the)7 was two mountain loins here in town, an' iviryone was afraid t’ come outa their houses but Zeke. se comes out an’ catchin' th' two loins by th’ tails lie throwed thim over a clo-ose loine an they killed thimsilves. “(io wan wid youse. cried the Widow, incredulously, al- though she was secretly delighted at this idealizing of her lover, and privately decided that the ‘Old Timer' should have one of her best mince pies on the next dav. I hot s as true as ()i live. assured Twin Two. “Th' good Saint Peter be after picklin me bones if it ain’t. I hat night, as soon as the couple, confident that the Twins had gone, were seated in the corner, the Widow turned to Zeke with her most winning smile. Zeke. dear, she said, tell me about th’ toime whin you did thot bra-ave deed with th' loines. Th' ‘Ol’ Toimer' was a tellin th' Twins about it yesterday. H’m, he coughed nervously, y'o see. I don't recollect jest thet pertic-lar inc'dent. Did I ever tel v'u bout th' time when Ezra Perkins an' me saved th' money fer th' Bank in Phoenix fr’m th' burglars? No. Oh, pla-ase do. ail, he commenced, twas back in th seventies, an’ me an Ezra was in Phoenix by accident. We was jest bout ready t' go t' bed. when up comes th’ Bank President t’ ask us if we'ud stay in th' Bank fer him all night, as th' reg'lar watchman was sick. all, course we told him we would, an’ dressed an’ went down. all, bout mid-night we heard some sounds in th' room next t’ ours, but when we went t' invest'gate we didn’t find nothin. Bout an-hour later I beard th’ sounds agin’ an as I didn t want t wake Ezra ’cause he hed a sort a sickness an shocks wa n t good fer him, I went alone. I hadn't no more’n stepped in t' th' room when I sees two thieves. They sees me at th' same time, an' one o' 'em holds up a gun an’ says. Hands Up.” Wall, I was taken sorta sudden like, an wasn't sure jest what t do. But it jest happened thet I hed one o’ my hands in my pockets, an so when I holds 'em up I takes inv pocket knife up in one o' them. Waiten til I sees thet they wa'n’t lookin real close, I gives thet knife a little throw t' th' end 0 th room. I his su-prises them an' they turnes real quick. Then 1 let out a veil and jumped real quick on one of their backs. j I knocks th gun outa his hands an' picked him up. Hold in' him in front o' me fer a shield 1 savs t' th' other.--- Zeke suddenly stopped in bis narrative and sat up straight. 1 he door had been silently opened and now two masked men came in. each holding a big gun levelled at Zeke's head. “Hands up! cried one of them, in a deep, unnatural voice. The Widow gave a little cry and fell over in a heap by Zeke’s side. “Hands up!” came the command again, and this time it was obeyed. “Zeke Parsons, one of them began in melodramatic tones. “We’ve been lookin’ fer you fer a long time—ever since that night in Phoenix. Remember when you spoiled our burglar game that night in the Bank? We’ve been tryin’ to get even ever since, and the time has come now. You won’t meddle in many more of our affairs. “Oh!” a faint little cry came from the huddled heap. “Prepare-to-die! the words came out slowly, terribly. “Die, hey,” muttered Zeke, I reckon not. With a sudden leap he reached his cane, and a moment later it came down on the hand of the first masked man with terrific force. Then it fell on the other. For the next few minutes the old fellow lived up to the reputation that he had given of himself to the Widow, in full. (Strange enough, she had suddenly recovered.) Finally, the two intruders, bruised, beaten and humiliated, fled precipitately from the room. “Th’ Gol Darned long ears.” muttered the wrathful Zeke. Oh, Zeke, ye're bein sich a da-arin an' bra-ave malm.” gently cooed his fiance. Outside, the two “burglars” recovered themselves and came back to the house. Into the kitchen they crept and found the hot water faucet. Taking off their masks, they commenced to bathe their bruised and battered faces. “Thot ol’ Divil,” muttered Twin One. “Who’ud a thot it o’ him?” ‘‘An’ t’ think. replied Twin Two. He’s t’ be our father— an’ wid thot cane.” KENNETH C. REATSON, ’12. Jack Raymond’s Courtship JACK RAYMOND had just finished his college course V. •'and besides having build and intellectual qualities he was of that nature which made him one of the most popular among the boys. He had experienced slight heart flutterings but was still free. He had never seen the hall in such gaudy brilliancy and the pale green lights of ti e great room gave a most pleasing effect. Lilies of the valley by the thousands, it seemed, were the prin- cipal adornment, lie sight dazzled his eyes so that he almost forgot to return the greetings which were hurled at him. 1 liree dances had passed when some strange power caused Jack to glance toward the entrance. He could not take his eyes away. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen and went far beyond his dreams of woman. He had been talking to an old chum but his conversation broke in the middle of a sentence and he stood as one dazed. Quinton smiled and grasped his arm. “Come to earth old man, Miss Hilton has a score of beaux who are wild over her, but that’s as far as it goes. “Hilton, breathed Jack. “Who is she Quint? How long’s she been here? Know her?” . ow I suppose you want me to answer you with one word. You know in Shakespeare--------” Hang Shakespeare. I—Jack suddenly realized he was not in his usual calm mood and tried to appear disinterested, I merely thought I’d like to have a dance is all. •Well. Quinton smiled, if that is all. I think 1 can please you. She came in from the east a couple of weeks ago with her father who is a physician. I he young fellow with her is practicing with her dad. who is dead gone on the fellow’s marrying her. but from all outward appearances if the marriage is pulled off it will he because of papa.” Hang it Quint, there should he laws against such pro- ceedings.” I he fourth dance, a waltz, had just started and Jack had it taken. Somehow he seemed to have lost all interest in the festivities. Don t forget to be here after this dance, he called and at once rushed for his partner. The music had been, plaving fully a minute. W by Mr. Raymond I was beginning to think you had lost your program.” “Yes—Yes, Program, that was it, just misplaced it you know.” Tack, try as he would managed to obtain only one glimpse of Miss Hilton and the doctor. 1 he dance over, he hurried after Quinton whom he found hiding behind a huge palm. “Oh your funny this evening alright. Quinton laughed heartily as they approached the balcony where she had gone to obtain a breath of fresh air. lack knew her now and Quinton, with a nice excuse, left the two on the balcony. Jack stammered a remark about the beautiful night, and indeed it was a beautiful night, every star was out and the full moon cast it's pale light evenly over the thirty miles of green country which stretched to the low’ dark hills. ‘‘Yes,’’ returned Miss Hilton, 1 remember just such a scene in dear old Pennsylvania. “Pennsylvania,” exclaimed Jack, “that was my birth-place. “Well 1 think that’s just lovely, I haven't seen a native son for days.” “1 seems then, I am just in the nick of time. Some way, try as he might, the fellow could not utter a straight sensible sentence. He surely had a case of “love at first sight,” and that of no mild degree. Thelma, Miss Hilton, looking up observed the doctor not far off eyeing her with jealous eyes. Remembering the next dance was his she started to leave. “I will see you again before the finale?” she questioned mischievously as she hurried to the entrance. Jack nodded a half hurried yes and turned away. He was a bit practical at times with his jokes but he never meant harm. He rushed out and from the first phone called for the doctor. He impatiently shifted his weight from one foot to the other until he heard a loud almost fierce, “Helloh. Assuming him- self the girls father he hurriedly asked, “That you, Palton? “Come to the office at once.-----What? Come at once im- portant, Hear me? With that he gave the receiver a slam and hastened to the balcony from which he had recently come. Soon he saw the young doctor hurrying towards him with coat in hand. “Your name Raymond? Mine's Palton.” _Jack arose and grasped his hand, “Glad to know you; pleas- ant evening this, he said. Let the evening wait I'm in a hurry,” explained the young man. “I’ve been called away and Miss Hilton said you might take my place till my return if you wished. “I shall be delighted. You will not be gone long? anxiously. But the young physician was scrambling away. Jack hast- ened in search of Miss Hilton and ran square into Quinton: “Helloh old man. getting there a thousand: ditched the kid doctor and am swimming in clear water. See you later. and he was off leaving his chum bewildered. He found her in the refreshment room delicately sipping at a glass of punch at the same time admiring several beautiful paintings. “Those are exquisite, she remarked, turning in his direc- tion. and with a pretty smile. “So you have decided to risk yourself?,” he asked. “Oh I feel T've known you a week and I’m sure we shall get along.” “Do you think so.' he asked with raised brows. ‘‘There goes the music and this dance belongs to the doc- tor. she returned ignoring his thrust. Jack was getting along so famously it seemed to him like a happy dream. The dance over both declared it decidedly short. They strolled to their favorite balcony and after he had her comfortably seated, near a minature fountain whose waters played weird little tunes, the orchestra started his favorite waltz. “Let’s not go in. It’s so beautiful here and besides I’ve danced most every dance.” Nothing could have pleased him better. He looked into her perfect blue eyes and she smiled. Her voice was as soft as the tinkling of a tiny bell, but it seemed to grow louder, harsher and harsher till---------suddenly awakening he found his pet bulldog tugging at his sleeve and howling at him to get up and play.
