Prescott High School - Hassayamper Yearbook (Prescott, AZ)

Page 33 text:

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. We, the Class of 1928 being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of crammed mind, will trained memory, and almost super- human understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament: 1st. We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our in- structors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams 2nd. To the students of the High School we give all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished from time to time in our various examination papers. 3rd. To our class adviser, Miss Marcella Brinkmeyer, we will the pro- found admiration and ever-enduring friendship of the Class of 1928 individ- ually as well as collectively. 4th. I, Bill Bate, leave my footsteps to be walked in by Bill Allee. 5th. I, Adda Jane Giroux, solemnly bequeath my stature and “4A” ability to Cora Tennv. 6th. To Genevieve Lewis; Margaret Swetnam’s gift of gab. 7th. To anybody who needs, it Jack Orr’s bluff. Apply early and avoid the rush. 8th. T, Jean McWhirt, bequeath my avoirdupois to Mary Jean Eads. 9th. I, Tom Rigden, will my many freckles to Roscoe McGrew. CHARLES B. HUM PREYS, 28. I‘iiTwenty-nine

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
