The hope, with quiet recollection, comes— That down the road and by-ways of the years Your step will still be timed to fortune’s drums, Your eyes he dimmed by only calming tears. Page Flu� The Hassaya ni p e r Foreword There is no doubt that we liave failed to include records of incidents, personalities, and places that are dear in the hearts of many. For this, we are indeed sorry, and if it should happen, that in so doing we have offended any one, we take this opportunity to beg forgiveness. If we have been able to place before you the material in our posses- sion in a coherent and satisfactory manner we have accomplished our pur- pose. and we hope that editors of the Hassayamper in future years will receive both aid and inspiration from our successes and failures. In conclusion, may we express the hope that the members of our class, with the passing of the years, will find in this, their book, an increasing interest and value. THE STAFF. 1 11 UN the covers of this book, the 1928 volume of the Hassayamper. we have endeavored to include those records of the past year which we believe, in the years to come will, serve as pleasant memories for the members of our school, and will call forth the wondrous S memories of their school davs. An Appreciation The members of the Staff realize that the Hassayamper could not have been a success without the help and co-operation of the other students and faculty and wish to extend their thanks to all those who assisted in any way. They wish especially to thank Roscoe McGrew who furnished ail lettering in the annual, and the business and professional men of the town who made the annual possible. Page Seven T Ii e Hassaya taper To our class adviser, Miss Marcella Brinkmeyer, we express our earnest thanks for the help she has given as. Often and often in the days to some, when we are thrown more and more upon our own guidance and intuition, our minds will travel back to you and we will see how many times during the past four years you have helped to guide us around this or that difficulty. Now that we are going forth to other fields we hope that you may ever see us performing our duties in the world in a creditable manner. THE SENIORS.

Surrounded by rolling hills and mountains pineclad and picturesque, it is world famous for its scenery and advantages for outdoor life. Known as the “Mile-high” city Prescott has an altitude of 5340 feet. Prescott has an ideal all year around climate. The winter days are warm and the temperature in the summer rarely gets above 00 degrees, the nights are always cool. Prescott’s climate is ideal and the air wonder- fully pure for the treatment of tuberculosis. Prescott has an adequate and pure water supply gained from water sheds in the high mountains. A branch route of the Santa Fe provides Prescott with adequate and speedy connection with the Salt River Valley and points east and west. The Hassayampa Trail, a wonderful highway, connects Prescott and Phoenix and provides quick connection with coast points. Prescott is four hours distance from the Grand Canyon by automobile on an excellent road. Mining and cattle raising are the chief industries of Yavapai County. Agricuture is quickly attaining great importance through the introduction of irrigation in Chino and Skull Valleys, both a short distance from Prescott. Prescott boasts a beautiful and impressive court house costing more than a quarter of a million dollars. Some fifteen religious denominations have commodious quarters and are very active in doing good work. Three Grammar Schools and a High School provide excellent instruc- tion. Prescott also has a Roman Catholic School for girls with and en- rollment of over two hundred. Many clubs and fraternal lodges flourish in Prescott. A golf club offers outdoor recreation and exercise to many. Prescott has many good hotels. The Hassayampa Hotel recently com- pleted is one of the most luxurious and modern hostelries in the state. It is owned by the people of the city and is a fine monument to their resouce- fulness and integrity. Prescott is the home of the Smoki, who are known throughout the country for their weird dances, which are relics of ancient Indian tribal dances. These dances are held, annually on the second Saturday in June. Prescott is known as the “Cowboy Capital of the World” owing to its situation in a great cattle country and also for its “Frontier Days” which are held each year on the first, secoud, third and fourth of July.

The main building was completed in nine- teen fourteen at a cost of about eighty-five thousand dollars. The building is of red brick and is three stories in height. It contains twelve classrooms, two auditoriums, two cloak rooms, two shower rooms and two locker rooms, besides the principal’s office and teachers’ rooms. Cooking, sewing, mechancial drawing and manual training are pro- vided for in another building located across the street on the grounds of the Washington Grammar School. All classrooms, laboratories as well as the sewing, cooking and manual training rooms are very well equipped and provide the students with training equal to that of any other school of its size in the state. The building is equipped with a clock system, and a telephone system. It is heated by hot air derived from a distributing plant which is also located on the Washington School grounds. The steady increase in attendance will soon make necessary, additions to the present building, or the erection of a new plant. In case a new building is erected the present plant will be used for a Junior High School as the space now provided for that phase of education is very inadequate. Page Fourteen The Ilassayamper City Board of Trustees The Board of Trustees of the Prescott Schools is composed of the following members: Dr. John Flinn, President; M. B. Hazeltine, Clerk; and Dr. F. W. Boville. Both Dr. Flinn and Mr. Hazeltine have been very efficient mem- bers of tlie board for many years. Dr. Boville has just recently assumed his duties, in dispatch of which we wish him all success, and hope that he will see long service on the board. Regular meetings of the Prescott Board of Trustees are held at close intervals. Questions vital to the school system of Prescott are dis- cussed and ably solved. STEPHEN NETHERBY ’28. Why Go to High School The question, why go to high school? is a foolish one to ask, And to answer this question Is a still more difficult task. It depends on how you take it, And what praises you sing For each one goes to high school For quite a different thing. Some go because of pretty girls, Some for dances and for balls, And others go for the morning stroll And to lounge about the halls. Some go to gather knowledge, Some for glory and for fame On the stage, and on the track field, And in the basket ball games. But this is the most popular slogan And it seems to please everyone. Out of all they get at high school They always get their fun. ROSE HARRIS’ 29. rnjro Fifieen The Massa}7 a m p e r i On Leaving Prescott High School A dear school, a school of good sportsmen, a school of some of the highest standards in Arizona—it is hard to leave! A school where knowl- edge of all kinds has been put into young obedient people—and a school of fine manners, politeness and trustworthiness is Prescott High School. We, the ( lass of 1928 love to recall the time spent within her halls. We leave P. II. S. not with thoughts of forgetting it—but with inspiration and courage to take our places in the world. Prescott High School—we will ever he loyal and true—“We will guard thy name—and adore they fame—Hail! To thee our High School Dear!” ADDA JANE GIROUX '28. H onor Roll l1 irst Semester Seniors: 4A’s.

Page Twenty six The II a s s a y a m per Tally Book Gleanings Class History As I turn the pages of memory and gaze at the once vivid pictures I realize that the High School career of the CLASS of ’28 has been completed hut that many more of the acts of life are yet to be produced. We may fail or succeed yet the memories of our school life will remain with us always. I find that it was in 1!124 that we arrived at the High School Rancho located in Prescott, Arizona. Our first act was to veil Rah! Rah! Rah! Preshies. We were only dudes, ignorant of the life on a rancho and our yells echoed and reechoed like the cries of ambushed Apaches. Our baggage was heavy and consisted of a great deal of material which we afterwards found to he of no use. Like all dudes we were dressed ‘fit to killr and seemed to think that we must show self confidence. One of the Juniors was heard to remark, “Wait until the Foreman (Miss Cole- man) lays eyes on this outfit, won’t they calm down and be as meek as kittens.” The first day passed without mishap for us but by the end of the week we had brain fag. Other cowmen (faculty members) showed us our bunks in the study hall, told us where to go during each hour of the day and instructed us generally. We soon got onto tin way of things and found that we were greater tenderfoots than we had suspected. One day the Foreman lined us up for a good lecture on the rules and regulations of the rancho. She told us why we were there, not for a good time but for work. If we followed the rules we would be able to ride our allotment of bronchos (examinations) without mishap and by the end of the four years would be ready to ride anything in the line of education. We soon learned that the neighboring ranchmen were in the habit of coming to our ranch, and expected us to visit theirs, for the purpose of en- gaging in various sports. We became keenly interested in these sports and did our best to bring our men out of these contests in a victorious manner. During the first year on the rancho we tried to bring fame to our outfit. None of us made the football team but we fought just the same. Later on one of our members made the basketball squad so you see we were in line for fame. The freshman dudes also won the Inter Class Basketball this year. In a social way we couldn’t be beaten and we began to feel prouder and prouder of our outfit. After riding, roping and bull dogging various courses known as alebra, English, history and general science for an entire year most of us became Sophomore dudes. Geometry bull dogging took the place of algebra bull dogging but English still continued to defy us. Spanish also came to haunt our dreams. T njr« Twenty-seven The II a s s a y a in p e r Some of the boys ffaeultv members) had left for other ranches, but new ones arrived and the big game went on. We again selected a leader and intrusted our valuables to another called a treasurer. We lost much of our youthful playfulness and now began to take ranch life seriously. Our barbecues and dances were acclaimed as successes by the Fresh- men, Junior and Senior dudes. We became more serious and sophisticated as some expressed it. Interest in range sports waxed hot and our teams were victorious on many occasions. Our dudes helped to raise the position of our rancho in the. minds of the neighboring cowmen. When football came around one of our prominent members made the squad and from that time forward he was one of the ranchos chief wranglers. Two of the boys tried their hands at spinning yarns and finally succeeded in making the second string in debate. Heads became too large for Stetsons due to the part we had played in rancho acitivties. Summer came again and all took a well earned vacation. At the end of the summer we felt capable of tackling anything in the line of horse flesh. We felt brainer and peppier than ever. We were rarin’ to go. When football time rolled around we pitched into practice with vim. Several of our fellows made the team. Our rancho team wasn’t licked once that year so we must have helped out considerably. We had a representative on the first team in debate and he swapped yarns “right smartly” with other nieghboring ranchmen. A long towards spring our outfit decided to put on a show. So we picked on a play, a fine one too, called “The Youngest” of course not all of the gang took part hut we all managed to keep busy. We staged our pro- duction as soon as possible and the audience fairly went wild. They actually yelled for more, but that was all we had so we let ’em yell. We liadn t been greatly interested in tennis until our Junior year but then one of our girls and two of our boys took it into their heads that we should take part. Other members of the class got “next” to themselves and took part in such activities as glee club, open house programs, the Yellowjackets, Lettermen’s club, Scholarship society, Military Drill, and Student Body activities as may be seen by glancing at our records. During Hie mon+h of May the chuck wagon came around and set up a royal feed in the form of a banquet. Believe me it was a swell affair. In June we entertained the rest of the dudes at what is known as a prom. Everyone came all rigged in their very best. This social function was a decided success. Another vacation period came-and went and we found ourselves back Page Twenty-eitfht The Hassayamper at the rancho for just one more year. We now found that we were fairly well versed in the ways of ranch life and as a consequence were able to get over the rough sports in quite a creditable manner. Members of our bunch became Student Body Officers, president, vice- president. and secretary to be exact. Several of the masculine members of our group obtained letters in football. Basketball season found one of our number on the first team. We again took part in Glee club, Track, Orchestra, Yellowjackets, Letterman and Scholarship activities. Our class edited the Badger, the rancho paper, with a good deal of success under the guidance of one of our members who was elected editor. We also put out one of the best annuals in the history of the rancho. Our Junior success in dramatics led to the giving of another play “Polly With a Past” which brought us great fame. The time we have spent on the High School rancho is drawing to a close and our joy in our successes is somewhat dimmed as we think of parting from our famous ranch where we have spent so many happy days together. We realize that we must conquer even greater fields in life and are hoping to ride the bronchos of the world in a successful and victorious manner. Surely our training along this line has been adequate.

LAWYERS Leonora Anderson Florence Comer Margaret Swetnam Richard Allen Page Thirty The II a s s a y a m per A Cowboy’s Dream the “Rough Rider.” The “Rough Rider” it seems is a plane which uses no gasoline; it derives its power from magnetic sources. The guests are eagerly waiting to hear Mr. Humphries tell of his journey. He is about to begin his discourse; all is quiet. “Charles,” as he is known to most of those present, begins. Ilis speech is as follows: “1 have a surprise in store for you today. While on my trip I met various members of the Class of ’28. It is of these mutual friends that I intend to tell you rather than of the countries visited. “Leaving my airport located on the outskirts of our fair city I gaged my course due south planning to make my first stop in Mexico City. While there 1 met our old friend Jack Orr who was busily engaged in striving to keep down the price of garlic during revolutions. lie said that he expected to come out of the fray victorious. “My next stop was in Lima, South America. To my great surprise 1 found William Bate in that far off place. After a bit of conversation I was informed that Bill was building up a lucrative business selling ice skates to South American rebels. Wishing ‘Willie’ the best of luck I proceeded on my journey. “In Rio Janeiro, Lawrence Peters greeted me telling me that he was a traveling salesman for Babbitt Brothers. I had known that the afore mentioned company had expanded until it was known in many countries, but was not prepared to hear that Lawrence was its chief South American representative. After visiting in this delightful city for some time I at length found it necessary to depart. “Crossing the Atlantic in a north easterly direction I landed in Morocco, Africa, where I found that my old friend Tom Rigdon was selling a special red hair dye to the natives. Tom said the hair not only became red but also curled with one application. T promised to try the dye at some future date, in fact I have a bottle of it at my home. “In proceeding from Morocco to Spain I encountered a storm and as a consequence decided to rest a bit in Madrid. Stephen Netherby took me to lunch with the king, and during the conversation the king asked ‘Steve’ to look after affairs of state while he (the king) took a much needed rest. I was surprised to find myself among such celebrities. “My next stop was Paris. I made my headquarters at the Ritz where I found a friend, who was none other than Jean McWhirt. She introduced I1E YEAR is nineteen hundred and forty. The occasion, a Rotary dub luncheon held at “The Owl” in Prescott, Arizona. The speaker of the day is announced as “A Cowboy of the Sky.” He is none other than Mr. Charles Humphries, who has succeeded in bringing fame to himself and his home town by circling the globe in his nlane Pajrc Thirty-one T he II as s a y a m p e r me to her husband Count Stafford, and told me that several of my old icquaintances were at that time on the continent. “From Paris I proceeded to Italy. Jane Hill was there at the time. She was calling Mussolini by his first name and had nearly persuaded him to buy her system of “How to Hun a Government.’ “Taking off 1 flew directly to Switzerland, meeting there Jo Anna Bybee. She was trying to reach one of the highest peaks in the Alps region in order that she might place there a banner to advertise a new brand of washing powder. I also met Opal Johnson who in former years had become impressed with the song “I Miss My Swiss. Opal was trying to find a “him” but as 1 recall the song it referred to a “her.” “In Greece Nora Kelly was practicing a bunco game on the peasants. She was selling stock in the Arizona Steamship Company. I didn’t remain among the Greeks for long as 1 feared I might become implicated in a scandal. “Swooping low over the Dead Sea, on my way to Persia, I suddenly noticed someone waving to me from the eastern shore. I sought a landing and found that Howard McNeely and George Yorke were investigating the cause of the Dead Sea’s death. “My itinerary took me across India, and China. I saw many things of interest in those countries but will have to reserve them until another time as I feel you will be more interested in other things at the present. “Landing near Tokio, Japan I found that I must procure the services of an expert airplane mechanic as my plane needed overhauling. After some search I found my old friend John 'Wimmer. lie was an excellent mechanic so while we worked we talked. As the conversation led on John told jne that the absence of bullets whizzing past made him homesick, so he was returning to Chicago at an early date. “As I journeyed northward through Siberia the temperature became unbearably cold so 1 decided not to stop until I had reached the North 1 ole. Imagine my astonishment when I found Ned Leavell selling electric fans to the inhabitants and telling them to keep the pole painted because they might have frequent callers due to the wide use of aeroplanes. “My next stop was Norway. Howard Triplett had charge of a large broadcasting station and was specializing on telling the world about Dewey; ‘not the admiral’ said Howard, ‘but the city and climate.’ “In the land of the three leaf clover I found Margaret Swetnam speaking to the Irish Parliament on ‘Robert’s Rules of Order.’ I should like to tell you more concerning my visit with Margaret but will have to put that off also as my time grows short. “Francis Lodge was president of a large ice company in Greenland. 1 offered Francis my congratulations for going into such a cool business. “In Canada, Eugene Hunt was growing wealthy, having discovered Page Thirty-two The Hassayamper that by planting carrot seeds up side down the edible portion would grow above the ground. “After various other stops I landed in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Wallace Yeoman was the president of one of the large banks there and entertained me royally. He told me much news concerning the Class of ’28. “He said that George Weber is Professor of Solitude at the University of Borneo and has made himself famous by inventing a machine for boring holes in the skulls of boneheads so that intelligence may be poured in. “JKita Wright is traveling in Europe as a dancing teacher ad enjoys her work immensely. “Florence Comer, I hear, is editing the Prescott Evening Times and expects that she will never roam from the ‘Hile High City’ again. “Cecil Lynch is head policeman in Drake, Arizona. “Mildred Tucker is a dramatic and scenic art teacher in the Martin School of Expression established by Marguerite at Yuma. The school was established there as an open air theater was desired. “Adda Jane Giroux and Leonora Anderson are instructors at Stan- ford University. Adda Jane teaches English while Leonora gives typing. “Claude Bate is residing in New York. He is the author of an im- proved dictionary which contains several chapters telling how to use big words. “Lester Earnhart is the leading horse doctor of Wickenburg, Ari- zona, while Edna Strom and Leona Ilendei’son, who are now Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Paine, are conducting an exclusive school for girls in the same city. “Richard Allen, I hear was elected governor while I was gone, taking office immediately after Governor Hunt died of old age. “Marian Jordan recently wrote a book of poems which has attained a great deal of honor for her. I understand that she has become recognized in several fields of literature. “Winnie Van Cleve and Sylvia Williams are both living in Cheyenne and play quite a part in the annual roundups held in that city. Both are noted for their daring stunts. They teach school during the remaining portion of the year.” WINNIE VAN CLEVE ’28. CHARLES HUMPHRIES ’28.

Page Forty The Hassaya in per Yell ow Jackets The Yellow Jacket organization made its appearance at the Prescott High School in the fall of nineteen hundred and twenty-six. At the present time this club is one of the largest and most important in the school. The requirements for membership are: 1. The girl desiring membership must show an unusual amount of pep. 2. Every member must attend every meeting unless excused by the president. 3. Every member must attend games unless sickness or absence from town prevents. The purpose of the Yellow Jackets is to promote school spirit and to provide a trained, snappy well organized rooting section to back up the High School teams in all their contests.

'V Page Forty-one The II a s s a y a m p e r Band Prescott High School has had a well organized band this year and a great deal of good work has been done. The school district owns a number of instruments which may he taken out by students who desire to learn to play but feel that they cannot afford to own their own pieces. Under the able direction of Mr. Santead the band has improved stead- ily and has made its appearance at all basketball games played on the home court, as well as at a number of the rallies. The band has added much enthusiasm whenever it has appeared at any affair. The members have worked willingly and have not been at all selfish with their music. The band met every Monday and Thursday in the High School build- ing at seven o’clock in the evening. The members attended faithfully and showed a great deal of interest.

Under the expert direction of Mr. George Francis Bache, the club has progressed with bounds and big things are looked forward to. The officers are: President, Kathryn Orthel; Secretary and Treasurer, Margaret Swetnam; Accompanist, Jane Hill. They are faithful and have done their work well. The club made its first appearance before the teachers, and next sang for a High School assembly. The first public appearance was given before the Monday Club, Feb. 20. All endeavors were successful enough to please the most pessimistic member or listener. Interesting also was the new uniform chosen for this year. This consisted of a black velvet jacket, white blouse, white serge skirt, black shoes and hose and was very striking. This costume added much to the general appearance of the Glee Club. The members of the 1927-28 Glee Club were: Leonora Anderson Ada Bishop Elizabeth Bork Mary Born Joanna Bybee Mary Ellen Bybee Hazel Clark Florence Comer Marguerite Daniel Mary Jean Eads Lenora Eckert Martha Hennig Jane Hill Jean Hogsett Alma Howe Winnie Van Cleve Gladys Jones Ella Lee Man- Marguerite Martin Arleta Neil Kathryn Orthel Dorothy Peach Kathryn Peach Louise Rosenblatt Lorene Stitch Marian Stoney Edna Strom Margaret Swetnam Mary Kathryn Thomas Mary Turrentine Martha Yount l’asre Forty-three T he Hassayampe r Orchestra This year’s orchestra, although not very large, was a fine one. Under the able direction of Mr. Bache the musicians were gathered from far and near and organized into a highly successful body. The orchestra met every Wednesday night in the High School Auditorium. The requirements for membership were very simple, there being only two which were: first, that you play an instrument, and second that you attend practice regularly. The 1927-28 members were: String: Mrs. Lucile Taylor Mrs. Clarence Bailer Mrs. Chester Dieterich Victor Emanuel Ruth L. Harris Drum: Earl Schuler Saxaphones: Willard Robinette Mrs. L. C.

Members of the Glee Clubs of the Senior and Junior High Schools, the orchestra and band members, and all other persons interested in music or the dramatic arts are eligible for membership in this organization. The purpose of this club is to organize the musical and dramatic talent of our schools in a manner which will enable those interested to be of service to the community. Members will be given an opportunity to appear before the public, and the organization hopes to encourage and sponsor music in Prescott. The University of Arizona Glee Club appeared in February at the High School under the sponsorship of this club. Other programs of a similar nature have been arranged for. At the present time the club caters to music mostly but it is hoped that in time the field will be broadened to include many other arts.

The boys worked hard and under the excellent tutelage of Professor Baehe made great progress. The club had to start “at the ground and work up” as there were only two experienced members to begin with. Agreat deal of credit goes to Mr. Baehe for the patience and perserverance he showed while attempting to mold a prize winning Glee (Tub from inexperienced material. The club was organized, John Wimmer was elected president, and Charles Humphries, secretary. The members were as follows: John Wimmer, first tenor; Howard McNeely, Gail Neil and Earl Schuler, second tenorsMaurice Tribby, John Franks and Eugene Hunt, first bass; Charles Humphries, John Van Cleve, Jack Hume and Newton Ferguson, second bass. The Boy’s Glee (Tub made several appearances and always did credit to themselves and their director. HOWARD McNEELY ’28. Pa rc Forty-five The II a s s a y a ni per Debating Prescott High School had reason to be proud of her debaters and their coach, Miss Savage. Four students tried out for the first team this year. Robert Cromwell, Claude Bate, Catherine Morgan and John Franks. On the afternoon of February the seventeenth the students and faculty witnessed a trial debate held between the first and second teams of the High School. Catherine Morgan and John Franks upheld the affirmative while Claude Bate and Robert Cromwell took the negative side of the question: “Resolved, That the Government Should Own and Operate the Coal Mines.” This same subject was used in the State inter-liigh school debates this year. Claude Bate and Robei’t Cromwell won their first encounter with Olarkdale at Clarkdale on February the tenth. Prescott next met Snowflake at Prescott. Catherine Morgan and Robert Cromwell represented our High School at this time and suffered a two one defeat at the hands of the visiting team. Prescott’s defeat was not ignominious by any means. Its two rep- resentatives advanced a choice assortment of arguments notwithstanding the fact that their side was conceded to be the more difficult of the two. On the other hand Prescott’s debaters were outclassed as far as delivery was concerned. Catherine Morgan made her first appearance at this time, but revealed a laudable brilliance in her attack on the private ownership of coal mines. Her teammate, Cromwell, had had more experience and likewise showed skill in his task. The four students taking part in debating, as well as the coach de- serve commendation for the parts they took in this activity. They have shown a great deal of school spirit. Pajrt Forty-six The H a s s a y a in p e r Public Speaking Of all the courses offered by the Prescott High School, the work in the Public Speaking department probably showed the greatest advancement during the past year. Miss Savage, who has charge of this line of work in our school has spared no efforts to make the work of the highest type. This year’s activi- ties have been much more numerous than in the past. During the first part of the second month a program was presented to the student body and faculty. The entire class took part in this program which was divided into two parts. The first section of the program dealt with methods used in a public speaking class of one hundred years ago. The second section showed a modern class in action. This program was acclaimed as a success by all present and as a result the same program was given before the ladies of the “Monday Club” in January. At another time members of the class entertained the students with readings given in costume. The students realize that work of this sort takes untold practice and they know that their success depends on themselves as class time is limited and only beginnings can be made. These beginnings must be enlarged upon by each individual. JO ANNA BYBEE ’28. Speech Arts Contest Contests in speech arts were held throughout Arizona this year. District contests were held first in order to decide who was to represent Northern Arizona in this field at Tucson during University Week in May. The Jerome and Prescott High Schools were the only schools in Northern Arizona entering the contest this year. A contest was held between these two schools on Saturday night, March seventeenth in the Prescott High School Auditorium. Prescott had three entries for this event, John Franks, in extem- poraneous speaking, Mary Jean Eads, in dramatic reading, and Kathryn Orthel in humorous reading. These three students were selected to repre- sent Prescott High School at elimination tryouts held at the school several weeks before. Jerome High School had representatives in dramatic and humorous readings, but John Franks had no opponent for the contest and therefore represented the Northern part of the state at Tucson. P. H. S. readers won the contest with Jerome and will represent Prescott at Tucson. 1’ajro Forty seven T li e II a s s a y a in p e r “Polly With a Past” ‘'Polly With a Past'’ was presented on December ninth by the Senior Class of 1928 under the direction of Miss Lillian Savage, to whom the Seniors are much indebted for the success of their play. Marguerite Martin, who played opposite the lead in “The Youngest’ (the Junior play of 1927,) again starred as Polly in “Polly With a Past. Marguerite’s part was especially difficult because of the necessity of using French, or a French accent, a great deal of the time. The other members of (lie cast also did excellent work which was greatly appreciated by a large and most responsive audience. Polly Shannon ............ Mrs. Van Zile ............

Patre Forty-nine The II assays ni per Junior Play .Miss Savage selected “The Tailor Made Man ' as the play for the Juniors to present on April 27th. She has wanted to put on this play for a long time, but did not, until this year, feel that there were enough boys to fill the parts. There was a heavy boy’s lead. It was that of John Paul Bart who, though he was second assistant in a tailor shop, had plenty of ambition, and trusted a great deal to destiny. There were several other good character parts in the play. The old German tailor and his Scotch assistant, Pexter McConkie, were both very humorous characters. The play had three different settings which fact made it rather diffi- cult to stage. At first the characters were met in a tailor shop. The second scene took place in an aristocratic New York home where a recep- tion was being held. A ship company’s office served as a setting for the third act, and in the fourth we were carried back to the tailor shop. Nearly every member of the Junior Class had some part, either on the cast or as one of the production staff. The tryouts were held the middle of March. The cast was as follows: Tanya ............

Football and basketball, like1 journalism or debating should enter into his program simply by way of diversion, and as interests subsidiary to his main business— the study of his various lessons. Sport should be developed in the interest of better citizenship and should tend to create a “sport for sport’s sake” attitude. Prescott High School attempts to do these things. Not that we should not be interested in the development of winning teams, such an attitude is not inconsistent with the best values that flow from the contest, but only such victories as can be won in an honorable and manly fashion are to be tolerated. Athletics is a term used to cover a great variety of indoor and out- door sports, though often restricted to those miscellaneous sports of the track and field which take the form of personal contests. In Prescott the chief athletic interests of the city center in the schools and especially in the high school which supports regular teams made up of students. These teams hold meets with neighboring schools in gymnasiums in the winter and out-of-doors in the warmer seasons. Each particular form of athletic exercise requires special training if a person is to excel in it. Not only must an athlete do over and over again the thing lie expects to excel in, but he must learn the best ways of doing everything and must train himself to do them with the least possible expenditure of energy. It is here that the coach is best able to help the aspiring athlete. Pago Fifty Him rl’ h e U a s s a y a ni p e r National Athletic Scholarship Society The Prescott High School first became associated with the National .Athletic Scholarship Society of Secondary Schools in 1926. This is a national organization which recognizes those boys who, in -a sportsman like manner, represent their schools in athletics, and who, at the same time, stand high in their classwork. Only those boys who have earned a letter in some sport, and whose average in scholarship, for three consecutive semesters, is higher than the general average of the school are eligible for membership. The boys who received membership cards in February 1927 were: Bill Bate, Fortino Lopez, Claude Cline, Dixon Fagerberg, Taylor Ilicks and Fred Cromwell. Those who received membership in 1928 were: Bill Bate, Fortino Lopez, Howard MeNeely and James Bethea. The H onor Society Seniors only, belong to this society, and the qualifications are as follows: 1. Scholarship. 3. Leadership. 2. Character 4. Service. Members are decided by a vote of the faculty who consider the above mentioned things. Those belonging to this society last year (1927) were: Evelyn Cornick, Taylor Hicks, Dixon Fagerberg, Fred Cromwell, and Claude Cline Page Pift.v-four The Ilassayamper I ootball Although our football team was not as great a success this season as it has been in the past, much hope is held for the future. This year Coach DeVivier had five letter men from the previous season and a group of green horns to make a team from.

BETTY BROOKS ’30. i’atfe Fifty-.seven The II a s s a y a m per Basketball P. H. S. again won the unofficial championship in this sport for Northern Arizona, and retained the Yavapai County Championship for the third consecutive year. By winning the first place in Yavapai County they gained permanent possession of the cup donated by Vyne Brothers. Prescott attended the Valley and State Tournaments this year and at both reached the semi-finals. The Badgers did not attend the Flagstaff Tournament this year. The 1928 team deserves much honor as it was one of the best teams ever produced by P. II. S. This team was considered the best team in both the tournaments attended because of its ability to use short passing, its fast team work and its sportsmanship. Adelbert Hubbard was chosen center of the Mythical All-State Team, while Bill Bate was given a place as guard on the Second All-State Team.

The only outside games were with Jerome an.l Clarkdale. Prescott was also represented at the Northern Arizona Meet at Flagstaff. Tennis Lettermen for 1927 were: Dixon Fagerberg, William Bate, Howard McNeelv and Fen Hildreth, Jr. The girls receiving letters were Leonora Anderson, and Amber Thomp- son. Jane Hill should receive honorable mention for her good work. She will undoubtedly be one of the outstanding players on the 1928 team. 1928 Interest in tennis has waxed hot this season. With twenty girls out this year we certainly ought to have a team that will come up and perhaps pass the former traditions of P. H. S. The girls have only one letterwoman back this year, she is Leonora (Bud) Anderson. Some of the girls who bid fair to be leaders in this sport are: Jane Hill, Della McKay, Francas Lodge, and Betty Hirschfeld. As tennis is the only sport given at P. II. S. into which girls may enter the girls are going to make a good showing. The boys are not quite so well represented as the girls, but they have three lettermen on hand to make up for quantity. Hildreth, Bate and McNeely are the lettermen represented. Others bidding for places on the team are: Paul, Robinette, and Lodge. Pap: � Sixty The H a s s a y a in p e r Track 1927 f m C 11E FIRST meet taken part in was the Greenway Meet which was held in Phoenix. Taylor Hicks versatile athlete attained the only first place won by the locals when he jumped 20 feet 9 inches in the broad jump. Hubbard took fourth place in the 120 yard high j hurdles. Cline, F. Lopez and Minor failed to place but made good showings and gained experience. In the County Meet, held on the home field, the Badgers found them- selves handicapped in the distance runs due to the absence of F. Lopez. With Hubbard and Hicks carrying the brunt of the work they managed to place second. Hicks made a new unofficial State record for the broad jump when he jumped 22 feet 4 inches. Hubbard was high point man. The last meet took place at Flagstaff. The locals due to the remark- able work of Hicks, who took 20 of the 36 1-4 points won by Prescott, were awarded the Northern Conference Championship. In this meet Hicks broke the Norlhern record in the 440 by running the distance in 55 seconds while F. Lopez broke the mile record held previously by D. Vallazza of Clarkdale. The local miler ran the distance in 5:01. Hubbard broke another record by running over the high timber in 17:04. Cline earned his letter in the shot put. Taylor Hicks was awarded a cup for being high point man. Hicks, Hubbard. F. Lopez and Cline obtained letters. Other athletes who made good showings throughout the season were: Minor, W. Yeomans, Nutter, S. Leavell and Renner. 1928 When the first call for trackmen went forth on February the twenty- seventh fifty men reported to Coach DeVivier. This was one of the best responses in the history of the school. With two lettermen back on the field the material shows promising for a championship track team for nine- teen twenty-eight. Because of this wealth of material the local mentor has outlined many important engagements, the first being the “Greenway Track and Field Meet” to be held at Phoenix on April the fourteenth. The next event will be the “Valley Meet” at Tempe on April the twenty-first. Other im- portant events are: The Yavapai County Track Meet to be held in Prescott on April the twenty-eight; University Week. May third, fourth and fifth at Tucson, and the Northern Arizona Track and Field Meet on May eleventh and twelfth at Flagstaff. PafTP Sixty-one The Hassayampe r . Lettermen’s Club The Lettermen’s Club of P. H. S. was reorganized this year with a membership of twenty. At the first meeting of the club elections were held with the follow- ing results: President, William Bate; Vice President, Adelbert Hubbard; Secretary and Treasurer, Fred Lacy. At this meeting a committee was also appointed to draw up a Constitution. This Constitution was duly submitted at the second meeting, and signed by the following members: William Bate, Adelbert Hubbard, Fred Lacy, Robert Lopez, Fortino Lopez, Bill Hicks, George Weber, Fen Hildreth, George York, Welmon Renner. Billy Vyne, George Paul, Wallace Yeomans, Val Davis, Abe Terrin, John Marchello, Howard McNeely, Jack Martin, Ned Leavell, and James Bethea. Coach DeVivier was made an honorary member. The purpose of the club is to create better sportsmanship, better school spirit, and to support the school and its athletics. To qualify for member- shin. a student must have won a letter in some form of athletics.

There was no def- inite place for them to be kept. As a consequence the cups became tarnished and did not make a very good appearance. The Seniors of 192b saw the need for a trophy case and gave a splen- did one to the school as their graduation gift. This case is a tall plate glass affair which stands directly in front of the main entrance on the second floor. The cups are now shown to excellent advantage. Our collection of trophies consists of the following: Yavapai County Scholarship Cup, won in 1926. Yavapai County Football Championship 1926. Girl’s Interclass Basketball, won in 1927 by Class of ’27. Northern Arizona Basketball Championship 1921. Eight Annual Meet given by Campbell Clan of N. A. A. A. track in 1927.

One of the most attractive trophies is the silver Sportsmanship Statue of Liberty which we won at Flagstaff in 1928. It tells us that our ooys were good losers as well as good winners. In all we have fifteen cups and trophies of which we are very proud. LEONORA ANDERSON AND RITA WRIGHT. On the Drill Field We’re march—march—march—march—march—ing o’er the drill field.

In school the complete harmony between the commanders and the troops can more easily lie secured. Military Drill is compulsory in the Prescott High School for all boys, fourteen years of age or over, who are physically able to take it. The officers of the High School Company are: Captain ........................................Mr. Rammage Top Sergeant ................................Howard McNeely Lieutenants ......................Bate, Humphreys and Lynch Drill is held every day, weather permitting, for forty-five minutes. The second Tuesday of each month is excepted as Teachers’ Meetings are held on that day. Uniforms must be worn on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The purpose of this drill is to inform the boys in the rudiments of military life. It teaches respect for commands, and informs one of actions becoming a soldier. LESTER EARXIIART’ 28.

The Senior Class colors, green and gold, were attractively used in the decorations, programs, and even in the menu. Those ]tresent were entertained by the following program, after which they danced to music furnished by Joe Eckert, Don Seidel and Frank Wilburn.

The Prom, and the Senior llop given at the end of the first semester, comprised the only two formal parties given during the school year. Purple and gold, the colors of the Junior Class, were used on the programs and also in elaborate paper decorations which transformed the gymnasium into a beautiful ball room. Much of the credit for the success of the party belongs to Miss Mar- cella Brinkmeyer, who was the Junior Class’ adviser, and to Bill Bate, ('lass president. Seniors w elcome Freshmen “Break 'Em Young” The Freshmen were heartily welcomed into P. II. S. on the evening of September ninth 1927 when the annual “Frosh Dance” was given by the Senior (’lass. The amusement committee, consisting of Jane Ilill and Marguerite Martin, helped the new teachers and Freshmen to introduce themselves in all kinds of novel ways. Ruth Cox and Louis Bailey proved the new comers’ ability to dance when they won prizes, suitable for Freshmen, in the ‘‘Freshmen Prize Waltz.” High School colors, purple and gold, predominated in the floral dec- orations. selected and arranged by the committee consisting of Frances Lodge, Anna Bybee and Howard McNeely. The guests were received by the officers of the Senior class, Bill Bate, president. Cecil Lynch, vice president, Frances Lodge, secretary and treas- urer and Miss Marcella Brinkmeyer adviser. I’agp Sixty-eight The II a s s a y a m per Juniors H ave Kitchen Orchestra “A Herd of Boys From the ‘Chuck Wagon’ ” The Juniors set an excellent example to the school, as to what a “first class” party should he like, when they gave the second social function of the year on October seventh, nineteen twenty-seven. This dance had one of the best, if not the very best feature program of any during the term. The Kitchen Symphony Orchestra, led by Drum Major .McGrow, rendered a prize waltz for teachers and parents only. Mr. and Mrs. Ramage were the lucky winners. Miss Savage coached a most interesting pantomime in which Lois Ray Ilill, Clarence Lyons, Junior Hil- dreth, David Loewy, John Lyke, and Edmund Lodge took parts. Kathryn Orthel recited “A Leap Year Leap.” The program was concluded with a “Long and Short” dance in which “Sleepy” Hubbard (five feet, eleven) and Cora Tenney (four feet) won soap bubble pipes. The hall was decorated with paper streamers, in pastel shades, by Edmund Lodge, Martha Ilennig. Helen Gregory and Junior Hildreth. Sophomores Pntertain With Masquerade “Coyotes in Heifer’s Skins’’ Masquerades are rather uncommon at 1 . II. S. and it is perhaps for this reason that every one so thoroughly enjoyed himself at the one given by the Sophomores on November 3rd. The Grand March gave all present an opportunity to see the variety of costumes worn. Finally, after much deliberation, a pirate, John Lyke and an old fashioned lady, Frances Lodge, were awarded the prizes. The first feature of the program consisted of a dramatization of three scenes from Ivanhoe, all of which were given a modern interpretation. An- other feature was the tournament scene from Ivanhoe. During the evening four Sophomore girls, Kathryn Durham, Marie Netherby, Betty Brooks and Louise Rosenblatt, dressed in dainty pink and blue outfits, performed “The Doll Dance.” Freshmen Party Splendid “Yearlings Hard on School Marms At seven-thirty on the evening of December 5th a large crowd of guests filed past the reception line which was composed of Bill Hicks, Myrel Shipp, Helen Evans, Louise Fagerberg and Mr. Vance. The first impression that registered on the minds of the guests, after thejr had finished shaking hands, was that the old gym was most fetchinglv garbed in streamers of blue and white. Albert Abbott made attractive blue and white dance programs to suit the occasion. An interesting take-off on the faculty was written by Mary Lee Woodson and Jimmy Born, and presented by the following cast: Pape Sixty-nine T h e 11 a s s a y a m p e r Miss South .....................

The party was given on a school night in order to leave the week- end open to the Tom Mix Benefit Show. The teachers all proved somewhat lenient “the day after the night before.” Senior Hop a Christmas Party “Four Year Old’s Cutup” Although the Seniors were busy with their play, “Polly With a Past,” until December 9th, they found time to work up an excellent pro- gram for the Hop, which came off December 16th. The entertainment con- sisted of a vocal solo by Miss Sunby, a feature dance given by Jane Hill and Bill Bate, and several selections rendered by the “Senior Orchestra,” consisting of John Wimmer (harmonica) and Cecil Lynch and Howard McNeely (jazz horns). Dancing programs showing a Christmas motif were planned and made by Leonora Anderson, Sylvia Williams and John Wimmer. The Christmas color scheme was also carried out in the green and red decorations put up by Charles Humphreys, Howard McNeely, Margaret Swetnam and the class adviser Miss M. Brinkmeyer. Music for the occasion was furnished by Partridge’s “Variety Five” orchestra. 1927 Open House On Friday, May 13th the High School held its annual Open House. The auditorium was well filled with the parents and friends of the students. Everyone present seemed to thoroughly enjoy all the program, but the one- act play, “Miss Civilization” received an unusual amount of applause.

Leap year privileges were improved by the young ladies who in- vited and called for the boys, arranged their programs and escorted them home after the dance. The guests were received by Bill Allee, president; Katherine Durham, vice president; Adelbert Hubbard, secretary-treasurer; and Coach DeVivier, class adviser. Several special features added to the pleasure of the occasion; cornet solos by Norman Wykoff and Harry Irish; readings by Lucille Robinson and Jean llogsett and a vocal solo by Martha Yount. Coach DeVivier awarded the cup for the cross country race which took place during the afternoon. This was awarded to the Sophomore class. The coach also gave an exhibition of work on the parallel bars. A prize was awarded to the most Irish-looking couple, this going to Catherine Morgan and John Lyke. As this was leap year, the young lady gracefully gave this to her partner. The dance was attended by a large group of the students and school patrons. The hall was attractively decorated in the .St. Patrick s day motif. Unusual Program by the University On Tuesday, February Ttb, the Men’s Glee Club from the I Diversity of Arizona gave a most entertaining program in the auditorium. The Glee Club’s guest soloist, Mr. Robert Ames, made a great hit. He showed special talent in his characterization songs. Another feature of the program that was greatly enjoyed was the one-act play. Shrieks of laughter burst from the audience whenever Mother. Winifred or Louise spoke. Once during the progress of the play the mirth of the audience somewhat disconcerted one of the actors, and he could not refrain from laughing between snores. After the performance the Glee Club was welcomed with a dance given in the gym by the Alumni of the University of Arizona and Fine Arts Club of the High School. The Collegiates proved excellent mixers, and everyone had a dandy time. The party lasted until eleven-thirty when all went home feeling that they had got more than their money’s worth. Lyric Soprano Entertains The students, faculty and friends of the Prescott Schools were pro- vided with a very delightful entertainment on Thursday afternoon, March the eighth. The auditorium of the High School was well filled for the occasion which proved a rare treat for those attending. Miss Clarabel Nordholm, a lyric soprano of wide recognition, proved Page Seventy-one T he Ilass a y a m p e r herself to be a charming and entertaining young lady. Her program was divided into four sections and was given in costume. She first appeared in an old fashioned dress of the colonial type. She sang many old songs that were, and still are dear to tlie hearts of all Americans. While giving her second group of songs she wore and old English costume. The third group of songs was taken from the French. The costume worn at this time was of the French peasant type and was very effective. The fourth and last group of songs dealt with her ancestral land, Sweden. This costume was very quaint, vivid and becoming. It was made up of six brilliant colors. The costumes, as well as the pleasing manner of the entertainer and her delightful voice made the songs much more interesting. All those pres- ent thoroughly enjoyed the program and look forward to other enter- tainments of a like nature.

The Hassaya m p e r “A Night Cow” “1 don’t know no great amount abount nightmares,” drawled Sandy, as he balanced himself on the corral fance, ‘‘but I reckon 1 have gazed on ■one terrible dream.” Then all of the cowboys turned expectantly to Sandy and that gentleman resumed his narration. ‘‘It war one o’ these high faintin’ eastern guys what had come out west to rest hisself after a hard winter o’ house parties an’ week end suppers. Wal—this dude war a boardin’ and roomin’ at our ranch. 1 presume 1 never did see a gentleman so worked up about the west. He war simply sunk about them “lovely” cattle. Wal—one night after we war all a’ bed, one o’ the fellows jumped out o’ his bunk and squawled out, ‘My Gawd, what’s happenin’?’ “I woke up a’ course and they was considerable eamoshun and the dude’s room ’peared ta be the center of octivities. There war a lot o’ yellin’ and that thar yellin’ warn’t gentle neither.

He had been a sleepin’ on one of them fan-dangled beds which had turned over and he war under a rockin’ chair with his head tuck thru the rounds and every time he moved, and he war doin’ some right smart movin’, them rockers would jab him in the sides and that pore fool thot a cow sure ’nuff had him.

Page Seventy-five T he II a s s a y a in p e r I he Box The boys were gathered around the front of the bunk house one sum- mer evening after a hard days work. To these brown cowboys a house in the summer was most unbearable. Ilappy was repairing his saddle, while Tex was half-soleing his boots; the rest of the ranch crew were smoking and discussing the days work. “Wonder where Arizona is,” broke in Happy, “he went after the mail early this morning and he ain’t back yet.” “Hum, I’ll bet ten bucks he got another girl, or he wouldn’t be so confounded ready to go to town for the mail,” spoke up Nevada as he cleverly rolled a cigarette with one hand. “Either that or he’s drunk again,” replied Billy. Just then a strange sound came to the alert ears of th ecowboys •, it was the sound of horses feet. This was not an unusual thing, but the boys had been expecting the regular clip-clop of Arizona’s horse. Yet something about the sound of the hoof beats told the experienced boys that it was Arizona’s horse. The foreman, a soft spoken man, only a little older than the boys themselves sprang up. “Something is wrong,” he exclaimed and rushed for the gate. It was no new thing for members of this outfit to come home with a bullet in them, yet they were a happy bunch. The only thing that broke the peace of the ranch, was the loss of cattle and the danger the boys were always in. Just then Arizona’s horse came into view. In the twilight it was hard to see just what was on his back. At last, the horse pulled up to the gate and they saw that it was Arizona. In his arms was a large box and as they stood staring open mouthed, he swayed to one side and the box started to slide, but he made a wild grab and swung back into the saddle. Then the cowboys understood that it had been Arizona’s riding with the heavy box that had caused the irregular clip clop of the horse. They all looked at each other then burst forth into peals of laughter. This boy had always been the goat of the crowd; he was the youngest and had the skin of a girl, while his dark hair lay in thick curls. This alone made the rest of the boys make fun of him, but worst of all the one fault he could not redeem was his lack of musical ability. The rest could either play a harp, or violin, and the foreman could even play the piano at “The Big House.” Arizona had tried to win the admiration of the crowd, but it seemed that they could not be won. For a short time he held their at- tention by getting drunk, shooting up the town, and rushing all the girls, but none of these had lasted long. lie had a good singing voice, but they had never given him the chance to show them what he could do. Arizona slid from his horse, “The mail is in the saddle bags,” he re- Pay:� Seventy-six- The II a s s a y a m p e r ported. The foreman got the mail, and while the boys were interested in that, Arizona unsaddled his horse and slipped away. A few nights later as the boys were again seated in front of the bunk house, the most weird sound came to their ears; all of them stopped talking and sat as if carved out of stone. Then the sound came again, and the boys were.all on their feet rushing to the river bank. Before they got there the sound quit. When they reached the bank, Arizona was calmly shaping a stick into a small bow and arrow. “What the heck was that noise,” broke out Billy, the impulsive. “What?” asked Arizona not looking up. “That awful noise, it came from over here,” spoke up Happy, gazing this way and that. “Oh that? Why I was singing, if that’s what you mean ” answered Arizona glancing up with a disarming smile. The boys looked at each other in bewilderment. They could hardly understand this. “Well, if that was you singing, I hope you don’t have many spells,” said the foreman, and turning, walked awray with the rest of the boys at his heels. The next evening came and again they heard the noise. They paid little attention to it after the first startled moment. This continued for several weeks. The foreman was angry one eve- ning because the day’s work had gone w’rong. Then to cap the climax the noise came wailing to their ears. The foreman jumped to his feet and rushed madly to the river bank. “Look here you confounded nut, either cut that howling or get far enough away so 1 can’t hear it,” he yelled at the startled Arizona. If he had not been so angry, he could have heard a soft laugh as the branches of a nearby bush wavered. All the rest of the summer this w ent on. Winter came and still Ari- zona would disappear in the evenings. Sometimes a faint wail would come to them and sometimes they could hear nothing. Many times during these months one or the other of the boys would remark that Arizona had gone looney. One night as they were playing cards by the bunk house stove, Ari- zona rushed in. “I’ve got it, Hoop-a-la, I’ve got it,” he screamed doing an Indian war dance. “Got what?” exclaimed the foreman jarred for once out of his usual calm. Then they notice the black case under his arm. He placed it care- fully on the bed and opened it. From the case he took a large silver pipe. The boys stared, and Ilappy in his surprise, let his tipped back chair slip and over he went. Arizona placed one end of the pipe in his mouth. “Hey, wait a minute,” exclaimed Nevada, and out came his tobacco pouch. “No, you don’t put that in this pipe,” laughed Arizona. Then much Pajrp SoM� nty-seven The II a s s a y a m p e r to the surprise of the entire company he began the weird noise they had heard during the summer and fall. But this time they realized that from the pipe was coming the tune of one of their favorite songs. They listened spell bound as Arizona slipped from one piece into another. “Well what the----is that,” asked the greatly bewildered Billy. “This is a saxaphone,” explained Arizona. This is what 1 had the night 1 came home so late. The big bosse’s daughter taught me how to play it; see?’’ and again he filled the air with the latest song hits, which kept the puncher’s feet tapping the floor. Needless to say Arizona had won the respect of the cowboys and was. as you read in the advertisements, “The Lion of the Younger Bet” and perhaps that is not all he won, who knows? FLORENCE COMER ’28.

I don’t want to stand with the setting sun And hate myself for the things I’ve done, 1 want to be honorable as any man And do the very best I can. In anything I undertake 1 don’t want to make a single mistake. 1 want to wake up in the early morn Without a thought that is forlorn. And when I go to bed at night I want to have just one delight, To know that one more day has passed And still I rank at the head of the class. I want to live just like I should, Just like so many people could If they would only stop to think And then rise up instead of sink. Now this is what I’d like to do And I am sure you’d like it too. So come along the path with me And help to keep me company. LEONA HENDERSON ’28. I ajre Seventy-oijurlit The Hassaya m p’e r An Arizona Roundup ROINDPP or “rodeo” in Arizona is no longer what it used to be. Many years ago a ranch consisted of several thousand, or even hundreds of thousands of acres. Now it averages hundreds of a res. Then it had hundreds of thousands of cattle. Now it has barely a thousand. Then it employed twenty to fifty cowboys. N(jw it has one to ten. In the old days men packed guns in open holsters. Nqw some still pack guns, but carry them in the pockets of their “chaps.” And so the heyday of the American cowboy has passed its zenith. But ranches and cowboys still exist. The roundup goes on although not on the scale of that of olden days, yet it is still a roundup. The roundup of which I wish especially to speak was a modern round- up. It started in May at the Perkin’s ranch. Nearly every ranch within a fifty or sixty mile radius sent one or two cowboys to represent its owner. These saw that the stray cattle from their own ranch were branded and driven back to their home range. The roundup at the Perkin’s ranch lasted for about eighteen days. Then the whole group moved to the P quartercircle ranch on the upper Verde. This ranch belonged to the “King Brothers.” Here two more weeks were spent after which the boys went to the T5 in Chino Valley. This also belonged to the King Brothers and was their headquarters. I will describe one day’s work which was typical of every day. We arose at four o’clock in the morning and rolled our bedding. Then we ate a hearty breakfast. After breakfast the foreman, (who is always (he foreman of the ranch where the roundup is taking place) Billy Simon, “told off” four of us to take the remuda (horses) to that night’s camping place. I was one of this group. The rest rode with the foreman for about five miles. Then he sent away four men, two in each direction. These two rode two or three miles, separated and combed the country, sending all cattle towards the flat which had been agreed upon. This flat, was also to be that night’s camp ground. It was chosen for its centered location, large corrals, water, and a pasture for the horses. We arrived with the remuda long before anyone else and after turn- ing the horses into the pasture began to get the corrals ready for the cattle. About ten thirty the chuck wagon arrived with the food and bedding. The bedding was pitched out on a flat place two hundred yards further where the cook immediately began prepartions for the midday meal. At eleven fifteen the cattle began straggling in. It was now that our real work began. We had to see that every animal was put into the pasture and when the cattle began coming in streams it was no easy job. Finally, at one, the cowboys came into sight driving the balance of the cattle with them. These were soon put in the pasture, and we all had a dinner of coffee, beans, potatoes, “jerky,” and bread. T h e H a s s a y a u per Immediately after dinner the remuda was brought up and each man Changed his saddle to a fresh horse. We four, who had brought the horses to camp, did not need fresh mounts since we had not run our horses as «inch as the other group. Now began the more disagreeable work. All the cattle (perhaps two hundred; were herded together in one corner of the pasture where the fence was stoutest. Fires were lighted and branding irons heated. Three men, usually the best ropers, were sent into the herd; six were dismounted and tended to the branding. The rest of us held the restless cattle. The •three ropers walked their horses into the herd slowly so as not to unduly excite ■the cattle. They then picked out an unbranded calf and, after making sure what brand its mother had, worked it slowly toward the edge of the herd and then flicking their ropes around its neck, or occasionally its feet, dragged it to a fire and called the brand. Since there were numerous •brands they had no easy job. The men who were branding would catch the calf and flop it heavily ■on its side, and tie three legs. They would then brand and earmark it. ■Sometimes in these roundups they vaccinate them against “black leg.” -Since one vaccination is sufficient for a long time, they “bob” their tails (cut off some of the hair at the end of the tail) so as to know that they had been vaccinated. Cattle belonging to another ranch were cut into one of the corrals to be later driven home. Above the call of the ropers, the sizzle of burning hair and bawling of frightened calves, hung a dense choking pall of dust, permeated with the acrid smell of scorched hides. And so it went on throughout the long, hot, dusty afternoon. We, who held the cattle, had our share of work for -every now and then a steer, or cow would break through the cordon of encircling cowboys and one of us had to bring it back. The older calves were the worst. About the only way to bring them back was to rope them and drag them back. To many the roundup and its experiences may seem undesirable, but to those who have experienced it, it is wonderful—the dash of a frightened steer, your horse whirling in pursuit, the play of the powerful muscles be- neath your knees as the horse gallops after the animal, the wind in your face, the swift pivots and dashes as your horse intercepts every effort of the animal to break away. (I say “the horse” for it’s surprising how little actual guidance you must give to a good cowpony.) And a calf? After growing disgusted with a little devil’s slipperyness one takes down his rope and after shaking out a loop, gallops directly after it swinging the rope. Deeming the moment propitious, one lets fly at the calf; if he has the proper technique (which by the way is hard to acquire) the rope drops over the calf’s neck, the horse stops with a suddeness which will throw a tenderfoot sprawling. Your weight is thrown away from the calf as you Page Eighty T he H a s s a yampe r “dally” (take turns around the saddle horn) and in less time than it takes to tell you are dragging him haek to the herd. We finished the branding and cutting about six thirty and turning the horses loose, washed the caked dust from our faces. We ate a huge supper of potatoes, beefsteak, biscuits, jerky, gravy, beans, and washed it down with clear spring water. After supper we talked for an hour and then we unrolled our beds and fell asleep PEN S. HILDRETH, JR. ’29. That’s a Cowboy Jinglin’ spurs—fancy chaps Overalls, a ten Gallon hat, A bright silk shirt, A leather quirt, High-heeled boots, with pointed toes, A buckin’ horse that’s wild to go, That’s a cowboy. A whistle—a song As he rides along O’er a dusty plain With an unknown name. He’s bowlegged I’ll bet. But what of tliet? Home is the place where He hangs his hat That’s a cowboy. Tn his mouth a cigarette On his saddle his lariat. A blue bandana about his neck. But what for the rest of the world by heck Don’t give a dang For what comes or goes That’s a cowboy. Six foot two in his stockin’ feet Taller when out in the heat A roundin’ up cattle, And listenin’ for the rattle Of the big chuck wagon As he sits there saggin’ Beneath the rays of the hot spring sun, A brandin’ the calves That’s a cowboy. GLADYS WEBER ’20. Vskp Kifthty-one T h e 11 a s s a y a m p e r Dude Fever The sun was just setting, easting a dye of vivid pink on the few straggling clouds, when Shorty Bronell rode out on the rim of the “ Big Mesa.” Hooking his leg over the horn of his saddle he gazed down onto a bench below him. On this bench nestled a fair sized ranch. At the rear of the ranch arose tall perpendicular bluffs. The place seemed to be a reg- ular ‘‘Garden of Eden,” but much more realistic due to the presence of tail pines and thick knotted junipers. Shorty followed a skidway which wound its way down to the ranch. Nearing the house, a large rambling log affair, he saw the shadows of a number of people sitting on the porch. He at once concluded that this must be a ‘‘dude ranch.” ‘‘I’ll be danged,” though Shorty aloud. “Hey, stranger, trot over here,” came from behind him. Going over to a side house, Shorty found a man who was apparently the owner of the ranch. “Yuh want a job?” asked the man whose name turned out to be Sid North. “Me wrangle dudes? Naw sir, there’s nothin’ I hate better than wranglin' dudes.” replied Shorty. Sid North’s brow clouded and his face assumed a worried expression. “Huh, seems like yuh don’t like dude wranglin’.” said the owner, “but yuh ain’t got nothin’ on me. 1 got ‘dude fever,’ ever hear of that? Well, when you’ve had about a millions questions asked yuh a day fee about a year, you will have a slight idea what it is.” “How long you been in the business?” asked Shorty. “Nigh onto four years now,” was the reply. “Your temperature must be pretty high from that fever by this time?” Sid replied with some strong words that are best left unwritten. The next morning Shorty arose surprised to find that he had decided to take the job offered him the night before. He sort of pitied the old man who found due wrangling harder than cattle raising. Shorty’s first task was to go to town to bring out a “dudette.” When he went to get her baggage he found two trunks, four suitcases, six large bundles, a box of fruit and about ten other odds and ends. The first thing he did was to put the fruit on a half broke horse and thus it was split all over. A few days later Shorty took five dudes out for a ride and told them all the stories he could think of. He found the latter easy enough as he was a good liar but to keep them moving at more than a snail’s pace was hard. Finally Shorty rode up behind each horse and slyly kicked it (the horse) where it sits down. Of course he did it when the dudes were not looking as he didn’t want to hurt their feelings. Tn this way he applied his knowledge of driving cows to driving dudes. Page Etghty-two The II a s s a y a ni p e r “What is that white spot over there on that bluff Mr. Bronellf” Shorty was asked. “ilnli?” said Shorty. “Oh, that was made a few years ago when a prospector dumped a burro load of flour down there. Yuh see the trail was putry narrow there and the burro just fell down and rolled over and scattered the flour.” “Oh.” said the dude and swallowed bluff and all.” “Do horses like to eat pine trees?” was another question. “No,” replied Shorty, “they don’t like ’em very well. Yuh see one day a boss ate some green pine needles and they growed through his hide and made a porcu ‘pine’ out of him.” After about sixty days of this Shorty began to feel the effects of the “dude fever” also, his brain was whirling and he had run out of stories. That fall Sid North decided to find a remedy for the “dude fever’ he and his punchers suffered from. lie decided that lots of fresh air, and not so much hot air was the best cure. With the profits he had made, and these were fairly good, for a dude at least knows how to spend money, he turned his ranch back into a real honest to gosh cow ranch with Shorty as foreman. This was known as the quarter circle SN cow ranch, the only ranch in that country that did not continue to suffer from “dude fever” and which became the cowpunchers’ paradise. GEORGE YORKE '28. From Seven to Seven The sun is a ball of liquid fire. Banked by gold-flecked clouds, It sinks behind purple hills. The' ground is grey. All vegetation is of the same hue, Dusky shapes creep thru the brush, Night comes on. Black shapes loom up in the darkness. Silvery stars twinkle in a blanket of blue. Dim light comes on. Trees and shrubs take shape. Bale pink rays, shot with gold, shadow the sky. The pink turns to orange—coral—cerise. The sun like a tongue of fire Leaps out from behind grey—green hills In a burst of glory, Daylight once more! MARTHA HEXNTG ’27. Pafrt' Kiglify-three The 11 a s saya mp e r Present an d Past As I,, stand on a hill overlooking the city of Prescott, As the golden sun sinks in the west, I am glad that it is my fortune and lot, To live in a city of peace and rest. My mind wanders back to those days, When the Indian roamed at will, As the sun sends forth her last rays, 1 see Indians still moving in the hills. 1 imagine the time when the west was theirs, When city stretched not o’er the ground, When city din and clamor rose not in the air, And roads ran not in the forests around. Not then were the hills tunneled under, Not then was heard the rumble of trains, The only noise they knew was the thunder, That loosened from Heaven the gentle rains. I saw today on the city’s sidewalk, An Indian old in years. If of the times gone by he’d talk, His eyes would surely fill with tears. He’d tell you not of the present race, He’d tell only of a time long ago. When wrinkles covered not his face, And his life was not full of woe. He’d tell you of the carefree ways, Of those people living under the open sky, Of eool nights and balmy days, And a twinkle would come to his eye. Of an Indian maid with eyes so jet. Who was soon his bride to be, Under the crest of Thumb Butte they met, And, his own true words—“Just we.” How the soldier came with his gun, And the city of Prescott slowly grew up. When the soldier’s work was done. Tor the Indian only the bitter dregs of the cup. Paso Eighty four T h e II a s s a y a ni p e r % Let the soldier have what he wants, Turn over to him your fertile lands. Downcast and broken hearted, leave your native haunts. For the Indian, only the burning desert and its sands. Many birds, among them the meadow lark. Sand and built their nests in the trees, And, but hark, look, it grows dark, And my mind has wandered you see. Over the eastern hiil rises the full moon, Just above the high-school letter, Mv Indians disappear all too soon. Is the scene I now view really better.’ The moon rises in the clear, blue sky, It lights the city in splendor bright, It points out a wonderful scene for eyes, As lastly fall the shadows of night. Out of the mountains springs a cool breeze, And your sorrows are wafted away, The leaves are rustled in the trees. And you are ready to face another day. Such is the life in the city of lTescott, As the golden sun sinks in the west, 1 am glad that it is my fortune and lot To live in a city of peace and rest. LA WHENCE AINSWORTH.

The Badgers met defeat, today, in the first football game of the season when they went down to Phoenix High 70-0. Our team was light and handicapped with inexperience but the boys showed the same old fighting spirit that characterized last year’s squad. Page Eiglity-six The H a s s a y amper October 7, 1927. I just got home from the Junior Party. Boy! they surely had a dandy program—a play, a Kitchen Orchestra, and—everything. My feet feel all swollen up—guess 1 better get to bed. October 8, 1927.

Many were disappointed in not getting into “Polly ith a Past —T was. We’ll have to do our stuff behind the scenes, I guess. November 3, 1927. Wasn’t that Sophomore masquerade a corker? The modern inter- pretation of Ivanhoe was good too. November 10, 1927. Nothing exciting happened except that we sent the Badgers to W inslow. November 11, 1927. News just came that the Badgers were beaten in their game with Winslow 20-0. November 19, 1927. There was lots of excitement in school today. The Badgers won a game from Jerome (39-6.)

Page Ninety-one T he TI a s s a y a m p e r 1 he Hassavamper The llassayamper, because of its high standandrs and qualities has gained a favorable reputation in the past fifteen years. A financial suc- cess was achieved this year just as it was achieved last year. A great part of this year’s success lias been due to the co-operation between the staff, faculty and students. We cannot express too much ap- preciation for the generosity shown by members of our own student body. We wish to voice our utmost gratitude to those business and profes- sional men who have acted as our patrons It is through them that this book has been made possible. The management extends its sincere appreciation to all who have aided the ’28 llassayamper in any way. I lie Badger The Badger our school paper appears 7 times during the school year. It sells for ten cents a copy. Any member of the student body may contribute material to this paper at any time. Members of the English classes have been responsible for a great deal of the material contained in the various editions so far The Badger keeps the students and faculty of our own school' as well as those of other schools, informed on school affairs and has been eagerly looked forward to by both young and old. The great success of this project has been due to the untiring efforts of the various editors and the members of the staff. Humor One of our great sources of inspiration in putting out our school paper. ‘‘The Badger ’ came from the papers received from other schools situated in widely scattered localities. Our exchange editor, Florence Comer, sent copies of our 11)27-28 Badgers to many high school throughout the country. These schools re- sponded by sending copies of their papers to P. II. S. The exchange of papers was very large this year. We received papers from nearly every state in the Union. Some very interesting ac- counts have been found in these papers. These exchanges have encouraged us to work toward the betterment of our own paper. Our exchanges are read and enjoyed bv the students and faculty. We wish to start an exchange of annuals with other schools this year and hope to have interesting annuals by next fall. l’ajre NlnHy two HUMOR Page Nine-three T h e H a s s a y a m i e r iiill Vyne: “Hey, John just fell out of a ten story building.” Bill Hicks: “Golly.
