Rawlins High School - Roundup Yearbook (Rawlins, WY)

Text from Pages 1 - 116 of the 1917 volume:

The Rawlins High School The year 1911 marks an epoch in the history of the R. H. S. Until that time the school was little noticed from the outside as an institution, while enthusiasm was lacking within. The cause of the change, or any rate the hastening of the change, was the fact that a definite curriculum was adopted and athletics were introduced. In that year basket ball was also first instituted in the school, and since that time there has been a team every year. There are marked results. More boys graduate because of their interest in athletics. Our present addition under the name of the Rawlins Polytechnic School arose indirectly from the athletics. The progressive citizens called for a newer and better equipped high school, and in 1914 a vote was taken for this step. The idea received little support and failed to pass. The next year it was brought up again, and passed by a large majority. In the fall of 1916 the new building was opened with an enrollment of 90 students. Our High School is more a success with its excellent curriculum and splendid facilities for athletics—more students graduate every year to take a higher training in some college or university. LOUIS SCHALK, 1918. To Superintendent C. L. Martin, whose enthusiasm and zeal as a teacher, whose interest in all student activities, and whose genial traits of mind and heart have endeared him to all the students of the Rawlins High School, We, the Class of Nintcen Hundred and Seventeen, Dedicate This Book. Appreciation To the different teachers and students, whose suggestions and help have in no small way contributed to the success of this Annual, and especially to Miss Henry, whose untiring and zealous effort, in behalf of this book, has facilitated its early completion, we desire to express our sincere thanks and appreciation.

University of Wyoming, Principal; History “History is the science of the development of men in their activity of social beings.”—Benmeim. In the scheme of education, History takes practically first rank as a means for training the ethical judgment, and the ability to gather, weigh and judge the motives of men and institutions. The Rawlins High School offers two and a half years of history and a half year of civics. One year of history other than American is required. The contributions of the great nations of the past to the solution of current problems and the ideals of the present dominant people constitute the material for study. The growth toward democracy, the increase of personal freedom and the development of civic righteousness are emphasized in each course. ANNE M. HENRY, A. B. University of Denver English The Rawlins High School offers four years of English, and the course is designed to cultivate expression and literary appreciation. The work in expression is of two kinds: Oral and written. The theme subjects are for the most part, suggested by the classics read, and the students’ own experience. The purpose is, to cultivate correct, clear, forceful and vital expression of what the student knows and feels. In developing literary appreciation, the essential things are to give a general knowledge of the world’s literature and its literary men; to awaken and increase a love for good reading and to create in the student a sympathy with, and understanding of, his fellow men. Kathryn Gardner, A. B. Mt. Holyoke Latin Three classes have been pursuing the study of Latin this year. A daring group of I reshmen—interspersed with several Sophomores—have been boldly attacking the conjugations of “porto,” “moneo,” “duco” and audio,” and the intricacies of indirect discourse, and appear to be coming out in good health and with flying colors. Another group composed of Sophomores and Juniors spends five periods a week in following the great Julius’s victorious armies thru Gaul, and, in plucking up courage to address by name such awe-inspiring barbarians as Viridovix and Buduogna-tus—halting occasionally by the way to turn their thoughts to the subject of cases, tenses and moods, in the company of Collar and Daniell’s Latin composition. Four survivors of the wear and tear on the mental tissue caused by a two years’ study of Latin are dreading six of Cicero’s orations this year. Next year it will be Virgil, we suppose. Good luck to all our valiant ones who are pursuing the Latin course, and may you keep it up to the end. German The beginners class in German with the ancient stories and myths in Gluck Auf, the tales both grave and gay in Altes and Neues, and the descriptions of modern German institutions found in “Im Vaterland,” has been acquiring an ability to read and translate German readily. While perhaps less interesting, none the less important, are hours spent with Becker and Rhodes’ grammar, learning the principal parts of irregular verbs, and how to put sentences together with each word in its correct place. German is acquiring practice in reading, thru following the heroines of Immensee, Hoher als die Kerche, der Zerbrochene Krug, and Karl Heinrich to the “lived happy ever after —or the reverse. While Karl and Erichs trip to Germany, as related in Pope’s Composition, furnishes material for reviewing grammatical constructions and for writing German. CARL L. LAHRMAN, B. S. Colorado Agricultural College Science and Mathematical Department The courses offered in mathematics and science in the Rawlins High School are exceptionally strong. The work is thorough, practical, and in every way equal to that of other accredited high schools. Algebra [. is made compulsory for first year students. Plane Geometry is also compulsory for second year students. All higher mathematics are optional. Solid Geometry, a half year subject, is alternated with Trigonometry, taught in connection with practical surveying. To complete the half year of Solid Geometry, Advanced Algebra is offered with the Commercial Department. Commercial Arithmetic and speed practice is taught in the Commercial Department. Fully as thorough a course is offered in the Science Department, in which one year of Science, Chemistry or Physics, is compulsory. General Science is taught every year and is optional. Chemistry and Physics are taught alternately. This offers an excellent opportunity for a student to study every subject given in connection with the Science and Mathematical Departments. Examinations are very thorough and are the same as those given in other accredited high schools, since questions which are considered practical and to the point are often taken from teacher’s magazines. GROVER C. BALDWIN Ferris Institute, Big Rapids, Mich. Commercial Department The course offered by the Commercial Department of the Rawlins High School represents the most practical business practice of the day. The course in bookkeeping has been prepared by teachers and accountants, and they have successfully introduced business work into the school room. The student makes out invoices, receives money, makes out bank deposits, discounts, commercial paper and records all forms of transactions in firms, which are used in all up-to-date commercial establishments. Business correspondence and spelling are part of the bookkeeping course. The first few months of the shorthand class, are spent in mastering the principals of Gregg Shorthand. After the first few lessons, practical dictation is started, and the rate gradually increased until the student is able to write at the highest speed necessary for business positions. Penmanship is a required subject for all the commercial students, and the system used combines speed, legibility and ease. Commercial arithmetic and rapid calculation occupy a prominent place in the course. Home Economics “Domestic Science,” “Domestic Art,” “Household Arts,” “Home Economics” and “Domestic Economy” are the terms generally applied to school departments where all the activities of the home are carried on. The two latter terms are widely used at present and really seem to be more inclusive than others. Home economics stands for the ideal home life of today, unhampered by traditions of the past, the utilization of all the resources of modern science to improve home life, and for a simplicity in material surroundings which will free the spirit for the more important and permanent interests of the home and the society. This is the first year of such a department in the Rawlins High School. The students, faculty and community may well be proud of the splendid equipment found in this department. Modern, convenient and well arranged in every possible way it has proved a great incentive in the work of both students and teacher. Th courses offers in plain sewing, dressmaking and cooking aim to be practical as well as theoretical—teaching both the “how” and “why” of our household activities. In addition to the laboratory work, courses tend to impress the value of systematic management of the home and income, making the woman a more intelligent spender and consumer. C. B. PERRY, B. P. E. Marysville State Normal, Missouri Manual Training The aims of Manual Training are to assist the boy to become a “thinking doer.” Incorrect and slovenly habits of thinking and doing have no more place in Manual Training than in other subjects. We should keep in mind that the American public school system is maintained mainly to prepare boys and girls for good and useful citizenship. In order to develop in the highest degree independence of thought and power initiative, the pupil must be given opportunities for determining ends and working out means. There’s a fine spirit of free activity, eager interest, and industry permeating most of the class-rooms. Even the inferior work is done with a happy glow of achievement that half excuses it. While originality is to be encouraged in every way, it should never be forced at the expense of appreciation. Appreciation must be developed first. Pupils possessed of originality and ability will find ample opportunity for expression in Manual Training. Some boys have so much enthusiasm, strange as it may seem, who have had to be held back lest they destroy all the lumber in the the shop. The interest should be created for the boy who really wishes to do things by putting him to thinking in the right direction, then the battle is half won. MRS. ALICE YOUTSEY Cincinnati College of Music Music Mainly chorus work selected from suitable high school codes, etc. Special attention to accuracy of time and pitch, quality, expression, distribution of parts, etc. Separate glee clubs of boys and girls, solos, duets, trios, etc., are organized whenever possible.

History of the Class of 1917 With bright and shining eyes thirty-six freshmen entered the main door of the Rawlins High School in September, 1917. Extremely big, in our estimation, we all gathered in the back of the assembly hall and awaited our turn for desks. Miss Krueger assigned all of us to our places and much to our sorrow we were seated as far from each other as she could place us. Many of our class did not remain to finish the first year . Earnest Hansen and Marius Nelson left to take positions. Mary Craig, who deserves honorable mention, left us at the end of the first year. Mary would surely have added to our good times had she stayed. Mildred and Margaret Anderson also left us at the end of the first year. Mildred was a good assistant to our English II, while Margaret took up special work. At the end of our Freshman year we had made quite a record. Miss Krueger was greatly disappointed in us in many ways. We did not always agree just as the teachers thought best, so we vcere not always in favor. The only remarkable events of our Freshmen year were our parties. They are dear memories to look back upon. On September 4th, 1914, those of us who returned were on deck to be registered. Many of our class didn’t return, much to our sorrow. Bessie Burns, Kate Snelling, Ethel Freedman and Edna Carlson all moved away. Lyndon Alcorn left to enter Annapolis Academy. He was surely a loss, for he always kept things going. One of the many memorable events that happened in that year was the flag rush. It would take too long to give a complete account, but it is well remembered by us. Howard Childs, who was one of the best scouts in our class, also had to leave us at the end of the second year. As Juniors, in September, 1915, we again entered R. H. S. very few, but very lively. We had an idea then that we would really be considered very important, but sad to say, we were not treated in the least way according to our ideals. We thought all who entered as Juniors would stay and finish. However, several decided to leave us and graduate a year before. Josephine, Mildred, Karl and Albert all went ahead. Naturally we were sorry to lose them. I don’t think the Seniors of 1916 will ever forget us or we them. Our main object being to go against their Pazaar, which, in our idea, was cheap. However, we lived through that year. With colors of green and white flying high we entered on our last year of High School. To say the least, we were happy. Those who we have with us now and who entered in September, 1916, will finish with us, there are fourteen who will graduate. We have in addition to our class Evelyn Krotz, who entered at the middle of the year, Charles Blyden-burgh and Will Lackey, who joined us from the Junior class, and Talbot Smith, who will come from thie east to graduate with us. No matter where we go, I think old Rawlins High will always be remembered by us, and may our good times, deeds, colors and names live long in our memories. ELIZABETH MAHONEY, 1917.

Class Prophesy On May 24, 1917, we, the class of seventeen graduated from the Rawlins High School, being the first class to graduate from the new school building, and might you think we were not proud, for we were the first class to graduate with more boys than girls. We all felt very courageous as we walked from our High School days into the cruel, cruel world; but no matter where we may wander or where we may roam, we can never forget our dear classmates who had sailed for four years with us under the “Green and White.” This world is large, but yet so small that we might not be surprised at any time to meet our classmates of the class of seventeen. I was in Wamsutter a few days ago taking subscriptions for the Ladies Home Journal, which I know you have all heard about and which •o my idea is the best woman’s, or rather, “old maid’s” magazine, published. But to continue my story: I saw a large crowd assembled in front of a building. My curiosity was aroused, as usual, and drawing closer among the mob I saw an immense poster advertising a debate to be held on Women’s Suffrage to be followed by a matinee. To my amazement I recognized two of the persons who were to debate as members of our class. Can you guess who? Elizabeth Mahoney on the affirmative, and Dewey Turner on the negative. I realized that such a thing was possible, for they received a very good start in the Civics class. Not being in a particular hurry, I wandered into the building to listen to the debate. As I entered my attention was drawn to the delightful music. It was only the very latest music, and conducted in a very fine manner. How could it help but be anything else, for they had Everett as their leader. I was utterly amazed to find George Jordan passing the hat. We always thought George would make more of himself than that. Nevertheless, this was a good act, such as George is capable of performing, for Elizabeth and Dewey really needed this money for household expenses. Just before the curtain went up for the second act, the stage manager, whom I recognized as Will Anderson, came forth and spoke for a short time on the solo which was about to be rendered. He spoke so clearly and concisely that I could have listened for hours, but just when everyone was interested, my dear classmate Alice walked upon the stage, while Edith’s nimble fingers ran up ?md down the keys. Alice cleared her throat several times and walked nervously across the stage. She raised her head higher at each step, for she knew what a great responsibility lay on her shoulders. Edith still played, harder and harder, always waiting for Alice to start. But she realized that Alice was nervous, because of her song, entitled “Pretty Baby,” was to depend the success of the evening. But over all disadvantages Alice sang her song most perfectly. When Alice had finished, Goldie Harper stepped out with her white nurse’s uniform and cap, with the Red Cross on her sleeve. She wheeled a little table upon which were various nurses’ articles. She was giving a demonstration on the value of well-made and neat bandages, as well as a short talk on weak-minded and broken-hearted persons, as she had specialized along these lines. Coming out of the theater, being blinded by the light, I bumped into a well dressed man. As he stopped to beg my pardon, whom should it be but our class president, Harry Daley. I inquired as to his health and family, and his occupation. He was cashier of the Wamsutter bank. He and his family were enjoying the best of health and success. He invited me to his home for dinner that evening and I gladly accepted. Being warm, we stepped into a soda fountain, and just as we were seated Charles Blydenburgh stepped forward to take our order. I was astonished to find Charles at this work, but later learned that he owned the store and was doing a flourishing business. That evening at pinner Harry and Evelyn proved to be charming hosts. It was edifying to see their beautiful home and the wonderful way in which Evelyn managed her family. After dinner we were talking of past days, when all of a sudden a loud knock was heard at the door. When the door was opened Will Lackey stood erect on the threshhold. How he changed. He talked awhile, during which time he told us all about his ranch on Snake River. He happened to, be in town to haul hay out to his sheep. He was very successful, which he proved, when he stated that he had only lost two sheep so far this hard winter. He was able to tell us where Mildred was, a question which we had long been wondering about. She had charge of the public library at Tipton, where she proved to be of great educational value to the people of that vicinity by advising them as to the best Works of literature.

Last Will of the Senior Class Being fully aware of the fact that we, the Seniors, are about to leave the R. H. S., we deem it necessary and proper to make preparations accordingly. Being fully conscious that numerous gifts and powers of appointment to offices be within our disposal, we, the Seniors of the class of 1917, of Rawlins High School, being of sane and unprejudiced state of mind, of sound memory, and of an equitable and disposing dispositon, make and declare this our last will. We first wish that all feeling and resentment and disappointment on the part of the unfavored and disfavored be set aside. To the care of Edna Campbell, Mildred Keefe leaves her method of bluffing. We feel that Edna can continue Mildred’s method. After mature deliberation of the merits of all parties eligible it is our desire that the office formerly occupied by Billie Mahoney as the best gum chewer shall descend to Ruth Anderson. Alice Johnson gives and bequeathes to the care of Dorothy Evans the office of most “Persistent Fusser” by her active participation and research along such lines she has showrn all necessary fitness and ability to continue said office. Dewey Turner bequeathes to Charlotte Cook his privilege of being late. We are sure Charlotte will have a very easy road to travel the remaining days of her school years. Bill Anderson leaves his ability to throw field goals to his sister Eva. Edith Larsen and other members of the Coo-Coo club bequeath their love of five hundred to any and every one. Everett Tunnicliff gives and bequeaths his captainship of the basket ball team to some one else. Harry Daley leaves to the care of Zeke Lawrence his poker chips and dice. Charles Blydenburgh bequeaths his pull with the teachers to Louis Schalk. Evelyn Krotz gives and bequeaths her giggles to Marie Nieman. She leaves a piece of advice to Marie that giggling drives the blues away. Bill Lackey leaves his whole heart and soul to the Junior class. George Jordan leaves his yelling ability to Bob Clause. We feel sure that Bob will be ready to accept this office, it being the last request of the Seniors. Marguerite Buckley bequeaths her blush to Joker O’Melia. Goldie Harper bequeaths her German lessons to all victims to-be. We, the Senior Class of 1917, leave to the faculty of the R. H. S. the memory of our many misdemeanors. In testimony whereof we, the Senior Class of 1917, have hereunto set our hands this 22nd day of March, 1917. SENIOR CLASS OF 1917. Signed by the testator as its last will in my presence. EVELYN F. KROTZ. Stand By Your School If you think your school’s the best, Tell ’em so, If you’d have her lead the race, Help her grow. When there’s anything to do, Let the fellows count on you, You’ll feel bully when it’s through, Don’t you know. If you’re used to giving knocks, Change your style; Throw bouquets instead of rocks, For awhile. Let the other fellow roast, Shun him as you would a ghost, Meet his hammer with a boast, And a smile. When a stranger from afar Comes along, Tell him who and what you are, Make it strong. Needn’t flatter, never bluff, Tell the truth, for that’s enough; Join the boosters—they’re the stuff. Sing your song! —Selected. Listen my children and I shall tell How the Senior Class more than raised ---- They kept things going in the Assembly Hall They weren’t mischievous? No, not at all! They walked around with a wonderful air No Seniors with them can ever compare. In their four years of High School, they’ve been sorely abused, For every mean act they are surely accused. All through their school lives they’ve had a wonderful name, You have got to give it to them they are game But to conceal the rest I deem quite well, It’s lost for me no more I tell, But o’er our dressing and turkey roast, Let us all heartily give the toast— “Here’s to the White, here’s to the Green, Here’s to the Class of Seventeen.” MARY BUCKLEY, 1919.

I began work, figuring a few accounts, then stopped to search for an essential paper which I found missing. However, the paper failed to appear, and instead of continuing my work, I sat down to think. I fell into a kind of a trance and appeared to be seeing into the future. It was twenty years since I left High School. I was holding a fairly good position in a large dry goods firm in the city of Philadelphia. Times were indeed changed. The war with Germany was over. Noted build’ngs in the large cities were destroyed. Aeroplanes were used as extensively as locomotives; the mail service was carried on entirely by aircraft. Everything was so completely out of place that I seemed to be in a new world. I had just waited on a fashionable young lady and it was near closing time, when a blustering business man came in and wished a suit of clothes made in four days’ time. While transferring the order I had a chance to observe the man. He was strikingly handsome, about thirty-eight years of age, and resembled some one whom I knew. I sat wondering whom he reminded me of. Finally it came to me—he resembled Karl Mver. The more I reviewed his appearance I was convinced that it was he. When he called for his suit I made inquiries of him concerning his former home. He admitted that he had spent his high school days in Rawlins, but did not remember me. After I told him who I was we made an engagement for a good old-time talk. We met at 7 p. m. in an exclusive cafe, ordered lunch and were talking of old times. We were wondering where our classmates were, and thought if we could locate them we would have a class reunion. After three months work we succeeded in finding all but one of the class. We arranged for a banquet in a hotel. All were notified, and they agreed to be there at 8 o’clock. Karl and I served as hosts. At 7:15 the bell rang. A young lady of fashionable attire was at the door. She recognized Karl at once, but on account of my mustache and beard she did not know me, neither did I recognize her until she told me who she was. It was Edna Campbell. She was married to a rich merchant in Baltimore. No others came until the time specified. First after Edna, Mr. Schalk arrived. We all knew him at once. He was handsome as ever and stood six feet one. His determined chin and steady eyes denoted a character that any of us would be proud to own. Upon questioning him we found that he was chief engineer, structural, mechanical and civil for the new department of survey for the government, just recently established. Almost on his heels a forlorn-looking spectacle appeared in the doorway. When he looked up we beheld the jovial face of Scottie McKay. He was an impersonator, and was traveling all the roads in the country. Four women then appeared. Miss Harper and Miss Larsen we knew, but the other two. Miss Nicolena Johnson and Miss Madeline Johnson had to tell us whom they were. They had never left the town of Rawlins except for occasional visits. A slender fellow of medium height came next. No one would have known him but for his auburn hair. That decided us at once that he was Robert Clause. He said that he was married and held a position as assistant superintendent of the Meloctior Oil Co. A beautifully attired woman came soon after, whom we recognized as Helen Payette. We learned that she was a society belle who, despite her age, was as young and attractive as ever. Next came Joe Tierney, as striking in appearance as ever. He informed us that he was on the National League ball team and commanding a hgh salary. A person came next, but we were all surprised to see Zeke at that vocation that we did not know him. Tall and straight he stood, a Bible in one pocket, his hand in the other. He was as full of fun as ever and kept us laughing at his wit and jokes. Miss Smyth next arrived accompanied by Miss Ehrenfeld; two hustlng politicians who worked in co-operation. Weren’t we all here now? No, I should say not. Where was Lackey? But when we considered we knew he would not be there for we had failed to locate him. So we retired to the banquet hall and were just sitting down when a buzzing noise was heard outside. We all rushed to the door and beheld a byplane just descending on a vacant lot at one side. The aeronaut stepped out and approached us with doffed hat and a smile of greeting. It was Lackey. He explained that he had received word of our affairs, but kept quiet in order to surprise us. We now settled down to the feed in earnest, enjoying the stories of our experience since parting. At about 11 o’clock all being interested in a thrilling experience with the Germans by Schalk, I slipped out unnoticed, determined to play a joke on Lackey. Having learned to run an airship during the war, 1 started Lackey’s, and rose from the ground. The crowd hearing the noise ran to the door and not missing me, Lackey began to shoot, thinking someone was stealing his craft. The bullet reached a fatal spot in the machine, for the mechanism stopped and it crashed to the ground. I awoke from my reverie with a start. There was Professor Baldwin trying to awaken me, for it was after five. CHARLES BLYDENBURGH, 1917. The Class of 1918 Mildred is known by her car, In which she can travel far, We hope she will not leave us, For that would greatly grieve us. Robert’s hair is red, And fiery his temper, And when he loses his head, You ought to see us scamper. Her name is Madeline, We all know her greatest sin, Of letting the money fly, For the skating rink she can’t pass by. We have a Junior called Karl, Whose heart is in a snarl, The lady of his desire and choice, Is known by the name of Alma Joyce. There’s something just so friendly, So kindly and so true, About our classmate Nicolena, A girl of true blue. Zeke is his name, Lank is his frame, We’re waiting for his knowledge, To gxow into fame. Edna Campbell comes to school, But usually breaks the tardy rule. Miss Krueger nearly frantic, scolds, Till Edna is beginning to look old. Charles failed in Latin, flunked in Chem. We heard him softly hiss, I’d like to find the man that said, “Ignorance is bliss.” When Alma stops talking, We all know she’s working, But that isn’t often, and We fear in her coffin, She’ll rise up and talk. Margaret, or Peg, As she’s known to us all. Has a smile very sweet, For which all the boys fall. Our Louis is a lady killer, He hits on the head, But we expect when he grows up, He’ll break the heart instead. For Bethel no wedding bells will ring For her no wedding songs sing. Unlike old maid she hates a cat, But nevertheless she sure can tat. There’s someone always dreaming, Dreaming of the “To Be.” I don’t know who it could be, Unless it’s Joe Tierney. You may rave about your players, Who play basket ball so well, But Scottv beats the universe, And for Scotty we all fall. Classmates Charlie and Willie have left us cold. And never a tear have they shed, They went and joined the Seniors bold, Because they had credits ahead. ® Here’s to our Rawlins High, May she ever live and grow, May her colors always fly, With the schools that prosper so. ALMA HARPER, 1918. The Present System of Athletics Many people are saying that the present system of athletics in our schools and colleges is unsatisfactory, and that only a few really receive the training, and these few are men who do not need it. But with the present system of college and high school athletics, where the gymnasium is connected with the school, it is an error to say that the benefit of athletics is gained by only a few, and those the ones that need it least. There are few colleges or high schools in the country where there are not one or two gymnasium classes during the day. These exercises rest entirely with the pupils, and if they do not go and receive this benefit it is not the fault of the director, the team, nor of the system. These men are much stronger, to be sure, than the rest of the students, but they must be so in order to withstand the hard work which they must go through in making the varsity teams. The gymnasium classes offer, however, the best development for other students. In regard to the professional players, it should be the duty of every faculty to see that no man who is paid, plays on the team. By this it is not meant that a man who is being sent through school by some person should not be allowed to play. In the west there are very few schools that play paid men, because the average boys of the west are stronger than those of the east. Another item in the present system is the absence of the team from school while on athletic trips. The two or three days which the player misses can easily be made up if he is any student at all, and he should be allowed to play only provided he keeps a given grade in his class work. The value received from these trips is also important. He gets out among the different people and among new surroundings ; he sees more of the country around the towns which he plays, and he also sees how the schools or colleges are conducted and learns how to act among strangers. It is a complete mistake to believe that the athletics as conducted at the present time are beneficial to only a few. CECIL LAWRENCE, 1918. History of the Class of 1918 September, 1914, a group of little innocent children stood outside a fence, inside of which was the hill High School, and at the top of the hill was the goal, shining and golden, the Diploma. To gain entrance they must present their passports, the eighth grade diplomas. Once inside the gate they were met by the members of the High School faculty, who were to guide them on their iournoy un the hill of High School learning. Some began to climb at once, a few lookng ahead at the steepness, were disheartened, and even more so when they saw the marks on the road that showed the slips and falls of those who had gone before. Some stopped g ze at this wonderful new land, and when thev awoke from their observations they had to hurry and work hard to catch up with their classmates. But this promised land was not all case and pleasure, and the path soon showed ruts and rough places and steep inclines. The first rough place encountered was Algebra. Some picked their way carefully, some stumbled, while others fell. A few of the more sure-footed ones formed a band among themselves and traveled a more difficult algebra route, and in so doing covered a year and a half of algebra in one. Those that chose the Latin path found miry places that had to be waded through. Some were challenged most sharply by the sentries or examinations. A few took the easv path that required no such labor as the upward one did. and which, they thought, would lead to the top and yet require no such labor as the other path. This easy path iust went round and round in a circle and didn’t lead to any place in particular. When certain landmarks seemed to appear twice and look familiar, they realized they were not getting anywhere, and hastened to leave it and catch up with those who had gone on climbing. After nine months they stopped at the Inn Vacation and rested. When the roll was called a few were found missing. Upon looking back some were seen on their way climbing slowly and painfullv. A few had given up altogether and gone back and out into the world. As they started on their second year the course was at first merely onward and upward. How-ever, when they came around the first bend they were dazzled by the maze of angles, triangles and rectangles of the mountain stream Geometry, as the sun shown on it and made it sparkle like a diamond. They found stepping stones by which to cross. As in all classes some crossed without a slip or misstep, others slipped but caught their balance, as few went down with a great splash. On the English trail quite a bit of trouble was experienced. The trouble not being due so much to the students as to the continual change of guides. The children of course could not be expected to find thir way through a strange land. After changing guides four times a permanent one was finally obtained, though the pupils had to work hard to cover all the regular ground in time. However, they soon came to another resting place in the form of vacation. The ranks had been thinned somewhat, and upon looking back they found the same conditions as at the end of the first year. Some were still climbing and a few had quit. As thf' third v ar bep-an. manv. because they were so much nearer the prize, Diploma, than at the beginning, began to feel and act frolicsome. In their merry chase some of these did not notice the log that lay across their path. Of course there are those who are never too gay to lose sight of their surroundings, these stepped more carefully as they approached the log. Others stubbed their toes, and when looking down to find out what is was, found it to be Chemistry. A few of the gayest fell flat, were winded and have not recovered yet. There are many of them who are wearily wading through the English Sandbar, which, whether they like it. or not they are required to travel. They have now only one year between them and the goal. A few are behind but everyone is quite certain they will all reach the summit together. Some, during the journey, had some bad falls and slips, but they picked themselves up and continued • heir journey. None of our class are on the path to Nowhere that only leads around in p circle. These that did travel it soon learned its destination and having plenty of ability to travel the Upward and Onward path, they are doing so now. HELENE D.

A History of the Class of Nineteen In the all of 1907, a primary class consisting of about thirty entered the Rawlins Public School. Almost all of these pupils were determined to go thru school together in the following years. With few exceptions every pupil was promoted that year to the second grade. Nothing of especial interest occurred that year. In the second year of school, several other pupils joined us. This second year was also uneventful, nothing occurring of interest to those outside of the class. The next year we had practically the same class as in the preceding year, although two divisions were made, each under a different teacher. By this time the pupils had become accustomed to school and its values and regulations; therefore, means of breaking them were devised. The usual punishment of remaining after school or visiting the principal often followed, but we remember, vividly, a rather unusual cure for whispering administered by one teacher, the “soap cure.” While the class division separated manv of us. it chanced that almost all of us, who started together, received promotion blanks. The next year, the fourth, many of the same class as in previous years were thrown together again. Here we took geography, a new study to us, and learned to spell Mississippi. We remember well the almost daily whippings of one certain youth, and marveled at his ability to receive them without crying. That person is at present a Freshman in our High School. We won’t mention his name. A big social event of the year was a party to which the whole class was invited. It was the event of our lives. The fifth grade was rather eventful for some of us. Some of us well remember a telegraph code which had been arranged whereby messages could be sent by tapping the ink wells. This resulted in the guilty parties being summoned before the professor for trial. After much pleading, he was finallv prevailed upon to forbear using the murderous looking strap which he held in his hand. Another memorable event was a music strike by the boys. They have never taken part in school music since. The sixth grade was very uninteresting. The class was practically the same as that of the previous year. The next fall a new teaching system was emoloyed, departmental instruction being given. There were two large classes this year, so we were again separated. Our session in the eighth grade was one of the most eventful we have had. The departmental teaching was continued. The seventh and grades were considered a lower part of High School, called Junior High but few of the High School privileges. We especially remember Miss Rees, and thank her for her svmpathv with us in this matter. However, an Athletic Association was formed, into which we were admitted. Under the direction of the officers of this association a track meet was held, in which we opposed the seventh. Most every event was taken by the eighth grade. Cecil Healy being the one receiving individual points. Our class was organized for the first time and the officers were elected as follows: Albert Mosher, president; Flora Krueger, secretary; Forrest Healy, treasurer. A program was held every week, arranged by an appointed committee and rendered by members of the class. The same year the class colors, maroon and gold, were chosen. Also the class motto and mascot, having since changed, were selected. The class flower, the American Beauty Rose, was also selected and has been retained. The class chose no emblem. How well we remember the quarrel that followed these procedings when the seventh grade stole our pennants and banners. It need not be described; let it suffice to say that it was not ended voluntarily, but by interference of the neighbors. Many parties were given this year, a number of them surprise parties, instigated by the more prominent pleasure seekers of the class. Social evenings were arranged by the faculty, also. We cannot leave this historv without mention of one of our classmates who had been with us through all our years of school, namely, Robert Freedman, for this was the last year he was with us. He moved to New York. To our knowledge everyone passed this year’s examinations and received his grammar school diploma. The next year we entered High School as Freshmen. Many of our former classmates had left us by this time. We at first felt all the symptoms of bashfulness and humiliation usuallv felt by Freshmen. On the second day of school, as we entered the assembly room, the first sight that greeted our eyes was a bottle of milk, suspended by maroon and gold ribbons from a nail on the front wall, compliments of the Sophomores. It is an established custom that the Freshmen must be the “goat” v henever possible. Therefore, we took the joke as gracefully as possible. We became a part of the High School after a time, however, and lost our self-consciousness. We again organized our class and chose the following officers: Albert Mosher, president: Cecil Healv, vice president; Raphael Gunning, secretary; Forrest Healy, treasurer. We took part in all social functions of the High School proper throughout the year. One dav the High School took a voluntary holiday, and of course, the Freshmen followed their elder classmates and partook of it. It came about in this manner: Some person had put a substance on the radiators, which, when they were heated, caused certain unpleasant atmospheric conditions. It was therefore necessary to dismiss school until 10 o’clock. Instructions to return at ten, however, were given. The students at the specified hour returned, but it was a fine morning and 10 o’clock seemed too early to return to the confines of the school room. The students, therefore, banded together and planned a picnic. A lunch plentiful large enough for the High School was purchased and the crowd merrily set out for Monument Hill. At noon most of the students went home. Some were having too fine a time to return, and therefore stayed all day. The next day punishment was imposed on the law-breakers by deducting a certain percentage of class grades. The faculty at once became a detective organization. Finger prints of all were taken and those on the radiators examined. They were found to be those well known to our knowledge, but no one has been punished for enacting the “criminal outrage.” A track meet was held in the spring. We lost that meet, having a total score of five points, the amount given for one first place. Many picnics to the hills were planned and carried out by the class that spring. Almost the whole Freshmen class was promoted and became Sophomores at the end of the school term. We entered school in the fall of 1916 feeling more like a part of the organization, for we were no longer “Freshies.” We had a new building and new subjects were entered upon with great pleasure. There are but six boys in our class. We all regret the departure of one of our foremost classmates, one who had been with us through all the years and one who was liked bv all for Raphael Gunning, better known as “Binks,” has gone to Portland to live. We have two new studens with us this year, Pearl Williams and Catherine Gibbs. A short time ago class officers were again selected. They are: Theodore Frank, president: Mary Buckley, vice president; Marie Nie-man, secretary; Waid Wilkes, treasurer. The Sophomore boys have played three games of basket ball this season. The Freshmen boys were first defeated by them. They next were defeated—rather massacred—by the Junior boys; and lastly, they were beaten and thrown into everlasting disgrace by the 7th grade boys, being defeated by one point. The team is composed of the following-Joseph O’Melia, Celia Healy, Albert Mosher, Philip Zingsheim and Waid Wilkes. The class enrollment in this, our Sophomore year, in High School, is as follows: Mary Bucklev, Charlotte Cook, Dorothy Evans, Theodore Frank, Catherine Gibbs. Cecil Healy. Forrest Healy, Flora Krueger, Albert Mosher, Marie Nieman, Joseph O’Melia, Edrie Perrett, Edna Snyder, Waid Wilkes, Philip Zingsheim, Pearl Williams. We hope that we may all remain together and be graduated from the Rawlins High School as the class of 1919. ALBERT MOSHER, 1919. To a Senior Wee, young, studious, ambitious, Senior. O! what great joy comes with thy departure! Thou need not start away so hasty, With flitting flight! It would be foolish to try and mock thee As a model pattern! I’m truly sorry book’s dominion Has broken classes social union; And justifies that ill opinion Which makes thee envious Of me, thy poor mistreated Senior, And fellow classmate! Thou saw thy chances small and few And weary tests a coming fast, And assistance here within this class, Thou sought' to find, Till charsh! The cruel Sophies Passed you up. But, Seniors, thou art not to blame, Your proving foresight may be vain; The best laid scheme of Senior game Have oft gone astray, And left us naught but grief and pain, For promised joy. Still thou art blest, compared with us! The present only toucheth thee; But, when we backward cast our eye On prospects drear! And forward, tho we cannot see, We guess and fear! DOROTHY EVANS, 1919. (With apologies to Robert Burns.) Modern Warfare It was a hot summer day. The stillness was unbroken. Two boys about ten years of age were performing stunts on the grass in a large yard. One of them was vainly trying to stand on his head; suddenly he ceased the attempt. “Say, Bill, this ain’t any fun. Le’s do sumthin’ else.” “Alright. This ’ole town is sure dead. I wish we could go to war, don’t you, Sam? I know! le’s play war. Ther’s Rod now. Hey, Rod! c’mn over. We’re gonna play war.” “Yeh, an’ I’m the captain of the Americans an’ Bill’s the captain of {•he Germans.” A protest came from Bill. “I am not. I’m captain of the Americans.” “Oh! c’mon Bill, the Germans has the best army anyway. I heard my father say so t’other day. An’ you can have Rod,” pleaded Sam. “All right then. Here come some more fellows. Jack an’ Charlie an' Teeter an’ Peach an’ Red. Gee, where’l they all be together! C’mon gether! C’mon fellers, we’re gonna choose up an’ play war.” “You fellers can use the hose and we’ll make mud balls. Dubs on gettin’ behind the wood shed for our fort. I’m General Funston,” said the aggressive Sam. “General Funston is dead, ’caused know he died the other day.” “Well, I guess this ol° war can be before he died, can’t it? It ain’t real anyway, I guess, is it?” Soon the battle was raging. Mud balls were flying fast and water was dripping from everything within the range of the battle field. Suddenly a loud yell arose from the scene of battle. The combat began to take on the appearance of an Indian massacre, for Bill, the dignified leader of the Germans was doing a fine imitation of an Indian war dance, his hands clasped in front of hm, his body bent low, and loud wails were coming from him. One of the enemy’s cannon balls had collided with his anatomy. “I’ll get you, you ole Sam. I know you hit me on purpose, ’cause nobody else got hit.’” The Americans issued forth from their stronghold. “Don’t you make any insinuations about me or I guess I’ll fix you. ’ “I will if I want to. I guess my father said you was a tough any wray.” “I am not, an’ besides my father knows more’n yours, anyway.” “He does not; my father’s older’n yours and he ought to know, hadn’t he, Red?” Red suddenly become neutral. He remained so and said nothing. Others, however, gave their opinion; some on the affirmative, others on the negative. After a few moments the Germans and the Americans were having a hand-to-hand conflict. Suddenly the battle w’as stopped by two other allied nations—Bill’s father and Sam’s father. Bill was forced to retreat to the American fortress, the wood shed, where he was forced to a humiliating peace, by a stronger nation. Sam suffered naught but two black eyes administered by Bill. The next day, Sam, wild-eyed, rushed to Bill’s home and whistled excitedly for that worthy. “My dad savs America is going to have war with Germany, Bill. I wish we could go, don’t you ?” “Naw, I don’t see why they want war anyway. My dad says he doesn’t like it neither, an’ I guess he knows, doesn’t he?” His claim of knowledge in the family was undisputed. Memory of two black eyes maintained peace. ALBERT MOSHER, 1919. a Their Panther One bright sunny morning in early September Dick Green and Jack Smith started for Rawlins with a large herd of cattle which was to be shipped. About noon coming to a nice grassy slope they decided to let the cattle feed for a short time. In order that the horses, too, might have their well earned rest the young men dismounted and removed the bridles. “Waal, Dick,” brawled Jack when seated comfortably on a stump, “Reckon we’re a goin’ to make Rawlins by night?” “Yep, sure, if this here weather—say, what’s that on top that there bank?” exclaimed Dick, in great excitement. “Waal now, I don’t know, but ’pears tu me like it’s somethin’ that moves, anyway,” said Jack, in his usual slow manner, altho he too was greatly excited. “Great snakes and little hairpins!” cried Dick, “I do b’leve it’s one o’ them big panthers we’ve been hearin’ ’bout lately.” “Does look that way, alright. I left my six shooter at camp today, so I guess you’ll have to go see what it is.” “By jiminy! you are good to yourself, ain’t you? Jes’ to show you I ain’t scared like ye be, I’m going up there,” said Dick in a brave manner as he placed his hand on his gun and began slowly walking towards the bank, on which he constantlv kept his eyes to see if there were any signs of life. When he was still quite a distance from the object he stood still and listened. Yes, sure enough there was a horrible noise, which sent chills down his back, coming from the object. Finally he gathered up the courage to go a few steps farther, although his knees were knocking together. Suddenly whirling about he retraced the distance he had gone, almost running and looking back every few minutes to see if anything was following him. Jack, although usually slow, jumped up in great alarm when he saw Dick coming, and cried, “What is et, anyway? Ye act like it was ver mother-in-law.” “Oh, Jack!” cried Dick, as soon as he could get breath enough, “You know that great big piece of tin that’s been layin’ up on Eagle Peak for the last five or ten years?” “Yaas, I reckon I do. It’s a big piece bent so to form a lemi-circle; but what’s that got to do with yer panther?” said Jack, rather impatiently. “Well, somehow that’s got down there on thet bank, and what we saw must of been somethin’ crawlin’ under it. There’s somethin’ stickin’ out from under the open end thet looks black and ye never in yer life heard such a noise as the critter is makin’.” Pausing here to get breath and to look back once more, Jack had time to ask a few questions. “What’d the noise sound like?” “Never could tell all it sounded like, but it seemed to me like there might be at least a dozen bears under the blamed old tin all growin’ at the same time.” “Waal now,” said Jack, “I’ll tell you what we’ll do; ye know them panthers has been doing so much damage lately thet a reward is being offered for the killin’ o’ one. Now we’ll both go up there and ye can hev yer gun ready so’s when I kick the tin away ye can shoot yer panther, then we’ll whack up on the reward.” “But spose he springs at us ’fore I get a chance to shoot?” “Waal now, ye do test as I tol’ ye and et’ll be alright,” comforted Jack, although he, too, had his doubts. Both men started towards the bank and as they neared the spot it was hard to tell which was shaking the most. “Sposin’ he does get me.” thought Dick. Then he gazed across the sage brush covered plains with a sigh. “Waal are ye ready now fer me to kick it over, or are ye goin’ to get cold feet now yet?” whispered Jack, wdien they were beside the tin. Dick took his gun in his trembling hand and looked it over carefully. Seeing that it was right he nodded towards his companion, who gave the tin a fierce kick, rolling it over on the side. Instead of firing immediately, Dick’s eyes nearly popped out of his head as he gazed spell-bound at the huge black form which raised itself until it towered above both of the staring men. Suddenlv across the black face a grin spread, revealing two rows of shining white teeth. “Ma goodness, mista! ye all shore done scared me. Ole Rastus shore thought his time bad come to go to Heaben,” said the old negro. “I was jes havin’ a nice lil’l res’ after carryin’ this ole piece of baggage for ma boss, ’cause he ’lowed if he didn’t get it today someone else would; ’cause tin’s so ’spensive lately, and mebbe I went to sleep for a secon’, ’cause I neber heard you all comin,.” Laughingly Dick put away his gun. “Say, Rastus, do you ever snore?” he asked. “Neber does,” declared the powerful negro, but Jack and Dick have their opinions about that matter. MARIE NIEMAN, 1919. 3 3 ft The Birth of a Nation In the “Birth of a Nation,” the picturization of Thomas Dixon’s novel, “The Clansman,” David W. Griffith has produced a masterpiece, a picture that well may serve as an example to others for all time, a picture the greatest ever produced. It portrays the rise and fall of the negro in the South during the reconstruction period after the civil war. It shows the dream of the negro for power; the dream actually realized for a time, and the lawlessness, crime and murder accompanying it; and finally the fall of the negro kingdom through the “Ku Klux Klan,” a secret organization of the white Southerners. Characters are maintained throughout the picture, but the real theme of the story is mere history. While the picture is undoubtedly disastrous to the negro race as a whole, history must be told. It is perhaps the splendor and effect of the picture which most impresses one. An orchestra accompanies the picture and aids the effect, playing suitable music for all scenes. Views are shown which hitherto have been considered impossible to produce. No doubt one of the most impressive scenes is the mustering of the clansmen with the muted trumphets of the orchestra shrilly sounding the muster call. Loyalty to one’s school is one of the least and at the same time one of the most important things that one can stand for. It is the least because it cost nothing, and the greatest because it helps so much. Our great government, of which we are rightly proud, though not tyrannical, demands the loyalty of its citizens. Just in the same sense, our school should have our free and unrestrained loyalty. Nothing helps the credit of a school so much as the complete loyalty of its students, because that seems to say to everyone that the school has done much for its pupils, and they know it and are grateful. What, you ask, has the school done to merit this gratitude? It has given us an education. At first thought this seems insignificant, but in reality is vr,ry important, especially in these ways: It gives us a foundation for business, and so, indirectly, the power of making money; it gives us power and influence; it broadens our minds; and last, but not least, it fills our lives with pleasure. In this day and age all employers are demanding skilled and educated workers for every line of business, and it is becoming almost impossible to get very far without some education. So, if one has at least a High School education he is well started on the road to owning a business of his own. As for power and influence, the more educated person generally seems to hold the better and more responsible position. One has to grant this to be true, but questions the reason for it. We say that since one has been educated, he is better able to see the right and wrong of a certain thing, and since this is true, his words have more weight. Then, too, if one has enough fctick-to-it-iveness to take a long course of study, we say he is worth while. We must admit that a person who is so narrow-minded that he can see only one side, is not the person to whom to intrust an important affair, and if he cannot handle an important one, neither ought he have an unimportant one. So he is left out all around. And I am sure no one doubts that it is an education that broadens the mind. While these reasons are important, they are at least equaled by the ALBERT MOSHER, 1919. pleasure one derives from an education, both while one is in school and after school days are over. Everyone knows how much enjoyment he has had during his school life, and so can think for himself how he would feel if he could not have had it. Suppose one were deprived of the power of reading. Think how blank the world would be. We would not know what was going on in the world, for we could not read the newspapers and magazines, and they would have no business around, and so would be thrown out as no longer useful. Therefore, ip consideration of the many things that the school has done for us, isn’t it a good idea to be at least loyal to it? THEODORE FRANK, 1919. ar « The Longest Way Round Is the Shortest Way Home “Lookout, Sam; look at that big black thing over there. Maybe it’s a bear.” Immediately a low grunt issued from the thing mentioned and a large sow, followed by three pigs, issued forth into the moonlight. A joyous burst of laughter burst from the other youth. “That’s good, taking a pig for a bear. Wait ’till the fellows hear that.” “Well, you heard what old Jack said about this country being full of bears. I don’t like this way of getting home, anyway. Why didn’t you go the way he told us? It was only a few' miles farther and you don’t know this country.” The two boys were each about seventeen years of age. The one addressed as Sam was stout and tall. The other was of average height and build. The first seemed rather bold; the other timid. One could tell at a glance that they were from the city. They had been hunting and were carrying nothing to indicate success. “You’re not afraid of a bear, are you? Why if I saw one coming I’d just stand here and look him in the eve and shoot him when I got good aim, T know where to aim, too. I’ve read about hunting all my life, and I ought to know by this time. And then I’d take his skin and claws home. Besides there’s no use in going the longest wav you can find, is there, when I know this will take us to my uncle’s ranch ?” Thus spoke the bold Sam. “Well, I have never had any experience bear hunting, and I don’t want to meet one. What’s that noise? Hear it? Gee, let’s hurry.’’ “Frogs croaking. Gee, you don’t know anything,” stated the confident one. There’s a peach of a tree by the river; let’s cut our names on it.” With this Sam started forth. “It’s too late; supper must have been over two hours ago. They’ll be worried. Let’s hurry.” “Well, I’m going to. You can go on if you want to.” The other humbly followed. Suddenly a loud noise was heard by the river. Two small bear cubs, black bears, plodded into sight from under a willow. “Gee, they’re just cubs; let’s take them home,” called the hereto- fore timid youth. Sam, with a yell, had disappeared. The two young bears advanced to the youth. Around each furry neck was a leather collar, with an engraved name plate on each. Oh! Sam, where are you?” “R-i-g-h-t h-e-r-e. Have they gone? Let’s go back and go home the other way. Kill those bears first, though. Don’t let ’em get me, will you? Bill, I always have been a good friend of yours, haven’t I ?” All this came from the tree where the brave youth had stationed himself on the highest branch attainable. Don’t let ’em get me, will you? Bill, I always have been a good friend of yours, haven’t I?” All this came from the tree where the brave youth had stationed himself on the highest branch attainable. Carve your initials up there, Sammy, and come down. What did you go so high to cut them for? Here’s the ranch house right around the river bend. Here are Tom and Jerry, the two cubs your uncle was telling us about. The one he captured a few months ago. I thought you weren’t afraid of bears, Sammy?” The stout boy’s courage had all returned and he began to descend the tree. I’m not. That is grizzles or cinnamon, or polar bears, but these black ones are treacherous. You can’t tell what they are going to do.” ALBERT MOSHER, 1919.

S8f 3£ SSf I stood upon the mountain, I looked over the plain, I saw some green stuff waving, I thought it must be grain, I took another look at it, It looked a lot like grass, But goodness gracious, don’t you know, It was the Freshman Class? A Buried Treasure The man swaggered up the frozen road, past the Higgsville post-office, with a rather defiant air, while several venerable townsmen from within stopped their discussions about the weather and politics, to note with amazement, and not a little curiosity, the tall figure, wearing a loose, ragged suit of gray, shabby tan shoes, much run down at the heels, and a black felt hat set at a rakish angle. His sole baggage seemed to consist of an old, well-loaded knap-sack, which was slung carelessly over his shoulder. He was followed at a respectable distance by a small dog, rather neutral as to color, and of no particular breed. The dog trotted along quietly bv the road, casting longing looks at the thick hedge where all kinds of rabbits might be hiding. “Wall,” said Sheriff Higgs, moving his tobacco to his other cheek. “Mark my words, there’s somethin’ durn queer about that thar man,” and the others solemnly shook their heads. Sheriff J. Higgs was the most important personage in Higgsville. In the first place the town had been named after his great-grandfather. In the second place, he was, and had been sheriff of the town for bver fifteen years, and had perfomed his duty well, arresting various strolling vagrants, and not a few chicken thieves of midnight hue. It was natural, therefore, that the horde of small boys who had followed the stranger, should repeat to the sheriff that he had taken ud his abode in a tumble-down, deserted shack on the outskirts of the village. It was likewise proper that Tim Hooker, upon returning from a day’s trip to the city, should make a “bee-line” for the combined postoffice and store (where the sheriff could nearly alwavs be found), and almost bursting with excitement should tell him that the 12:30 express had been held up by one man and ten thousand dollars had been taken. “And,” he continued, after relating the details to the gaping crowd, “The man was dressed in a grav suit with a black hat and—” “It’s him!” yelled the sheriff, interrupting in great excitement and utterlv disregarding his grammar. “It’s him, as sure as yer livin’. Didn’t I tell yuh?” To the best of their remembrance they did not recall his having told them anything, but they wagged their heads in assent. “Why,” exclaimed Hank Burns, the storekeeper, in a strained whisper, such as would be used at a funeral or at a scene of murder, “Wfiy, I bet he had the money in the bag.” Again the crowd nodded a unit. At that moment the door opened and in walked the man. He was not accompanied by his little dog, and it was noted that he looked worried and harrassed. “Which one of you,” he said, addressing the group, “Happens to be the storekeeper?” They gazed at him petrified. “Well,” said he again, briefly and thickly, “Oh—you ?” The stranger walked up to the counter and said in a low voice: “I’d like to buy a—shovel and a—lantern—if you please.” Hank in a daze slowly procured the desired articles. Without a word, the man picked them up, laid down a bill, and departed. Immediately confusion reigned, and it was not until Sheriff Higgs tapped vigorously upon the ribbon case that they quieted down. “Friends,” said the sheriff, impressively, “we have to deal with a desperate criminal. He bought that shovel and that lantern to bury the treasure with tonight, and say, how many of you’re willin’ to help capture him?” Of course all to a man were with him. The night was somewhat cloudy and very cold. The moon came out only at intervals to disclose some men in a frosty marsh from which they seemed to be looking at a ramshackle old cabin in the distance. “What time is it, sheriff?” asked one, slapping hands for warmth. “Only ’leven minutes to ten, and we can’t expect him to burv it till midnight,” answered Higgs, holding his lantern close to his watch. All was quiet for a short space of time. Then, “How much did you say the reward was?” “Five hundred dollars,” responded the sheriff, and again the voice subsided. All was silent for perhaps fifteen minutes, when, with a start of excitement, they saw the man emerge from the cabin with a lantern and shovel, and under his arm—a box. Under the shelter of some trees he began to dig. It took him sometime, for the ground was frozen. But at last he finished, and, putting the box into the hole, commenced to cover it. “Now,” whispered the sheriff, and the party made a grand rush upon the unsuspecting man. He was easily overcome and the sheriff triumphantly slipped a pair of rusty handcuffs upon his wrists. “What on earth?” gasped the man. “Now, young feller,” the sheriff said, “I guess we ain’t goin’ to be fooled by no train robber. Boys, dig up the box.” It did not take them long and the box soon lay on the ground. One of the men wrenched off the lid and they all bent over it. At that moment the moon came out from behind the clouds and disclosed—the man’s little dog, lying stark and stiff. “Wall, I’ll be—gum-swizzled!” ejaculated Sheriff J. Higgs of Higgs- ville. RUBY CARLSON, 1920. Special Students There are four special students in the Rawlins High School. Two of them are taking only the commercial work and the other two are taking Domestic Science and art in addition to the commercial studies. One of them, Doris Waeckerlin, graduated from this High School in 1916. Two, Ruth Anderson and Elva Varney, gave up High School work and are taking the commercial work, and Ethel Mead, who entered school the latter part of January, 1917, is also taking special work in the commercial and English departments. “ Out Where the West Begins Out where the buffalo roams no longer, Out where the winds are a little stronger, That’s where Wyoming stands. Out where the stockman’s life is brighter, Where the snow-clad peaks are a trifle whiter, Where the latch string hangs a wee bit lighter, That’s where Wyoming stands. Out where the paint brush’s a trifle redder, Out where the false and sham are deader, That's where Wyoming stands. Out where the grander flag of Wyoming Floats o’er the hills where wild game is roaming, Where the best af the Nation’s sons are homing, That’s where Wyoming stands. Out where a state is in the making, Where health and freedom need but the taking, That’s where Wyoming stands. Where there’s more of loving and less of dying, Where there’s more of honor and less of lying, And a man succeeds, without half-trying, That’s where Wyoming stands.

Last spring arrangements were made for a joint wall scaling contest and track meet in Cheyenne. On Friday night the wall scaling contest was held. In a preliminary try over the wall made 6 1-5 seconds. The Rawlins squad won 3 out of 5 runs and tied Cheyenne in the 4th. The best time made in the real contest was 6 3-5. The Rawlins squad was awarded 10 very nice gold metals. The Rawlins squad was composed of the following boys: J. Campbell, E. Tunnicliff, R. Clause, W. Wilks, C. Lawrence, H. McKay, H. Daley and L. Schalk. Due to rain the track meet could not be held until Monday afternoon, and it also resulted in another Rawlins victory, 51-29. Much praise was due Will Anderson, who took first individual honors. While the rest of the Rawlins team behind him fought hard in every event and gave good account of themselves. The track team was composed of: W. Anderson, C. Lawrence, J. Campbell, L. Schalk and E. Tunnicliff. These boys brought home many gold medals and a neat trophy cup, offered the winners of the relay race.

Preparations are under way for a big wall scaling tournament to be held in Rawlins soon, and the cadets are drilling faithfully. Since we have all the men excepting one that comprised the picked squad in Chevenne last spring we are confident of victory in any wall scaling contest this year. The High School is also planning a track meet to be held here, and invitations will be given all schools in southern Wyoming. This should be a rousing good one and result in another victory for the Rawlins High School, as we have a track team which will hold its own in any High School meet. EVERETT TUNNICLIFF Basket Ball Boys in Fighting Clothes Basket Ball Boys in Civilian Clothes Basket Ball Wheatland vs. R. H. S., December 8. W. H. S. won on a close and hard fought battle, 34-31. R. H. S. lost on account of the inability of our foul shooters to locate the basket. Had they made more than one out of fourteen or more tries we would easily have won. McKay distinguished himself in the game by scoring manv difficult baskets from the field. University H. S. vs. R. H. S., December 16. On our first trip of the season we journeyed to Laramie full of confidence and fought as the Preps found out, but owing to the splendid defense of the Preps we were defeated 17-11. Northwestern Normal School, Alva, Oklahoma, vs. R. H. S., December 22. To oblige the team from this college we took them on for one game, and after a rough and hard fought battle we were defeated 44-20. Though the Oklahoma team knew they had been in a game. McKay did some good basket shooting in this game. Cheyenne H. S. vs. R. H. S., January 13. Then came victory, 38-13. The game developed into a fast and slightly rough affair at times. The guards played the defensive and the Cheyenne boys were unable to get around them. THE WESTERN TRIP. Rock Springs H. S., January 19, 1917. This proved an easy affair for us. as our defensive style of game baffled them and they were unable to score effectively. Harry Daley was the star of this game, scoring 10 field goals and one foul. Lawrence also did some good jumping against Braton. Evanston H. S. vs. R. H. S., January 20, 1917. This proved a knockdown-drag-out game, as Bill Brown did some good wrestling, also did well by sticking his fingers in our eyes. But McKay and Lawrence had their eyes on the basket and we defeated them, 38-27. Ogden H. S. vs. R. H. S., at Ogden January 22. Our next game was with Ogden. We were defeated by a much heavier team, in a hard fought battle, 26-16. Chicago Crescents vs. R. H. ,S. at Rawlins. January 25. After returning home our team took on the C. A. C. of Chicago, and were defeated by a score of 37-18. Our defense bothered these professionals quite a bit and they got most of their field baskets from past center. University H. S. vs. R. H. S., February 9. Then came the bovs from the U. H. S. We were determined to wipe out the defeat earlier in the season. The U. H. S. was outplayed in every department of the game, even the defense which they were noted' for was broken to pieces, and Craig’s boys could no more get thru our defense than fly. The score was 33-19. Lawrence and McKay scored most of the points. Evanston H. S. vs. R. H. S., at Rawlins, February 13. Then came the hardest fought battle of the season, in which E. H S. was defeated. Bill Brown and his team of hard loosers put up a stiff game till the last few minutes, and they seemed to die off one by one as Daley dumped them Daley had gone in as guard in Tunnicliff’s place, who had been injured during the first half and forced to quit. Distinguishing themselves in a yell which we would not dare to put on these pages. Rock Springs H. S. vs. R. H. S., at Rawlins, February 16, 1917. R. H. S. was defeated 67-18, a small score, but they proved themselves a very loyal rooters. The R. H. S. team came to town with a large crowd of loyal rooters. The game started with Daley playing guard, in place of Tunnicliff, who was still out of the game with an iniured leg. Every member of the team scored in this game. Lawrence and McKay each got 12 field goals, Anderson 5, and Schalk and Daley each two. EASTERN TRIP. February 20. Laramie High School was scheduled to play us. Due to injuries and the balkiness of some of the plavers they cancelled their game with us on this date. This game was forfeited to us. Cheyenne H. S. vs. R. H. S., February 21. we next journeyed to Cheyenne and defeated that team, 31-17, in a very easy game. The result was never in doubt, as our boys outplayed the Cheyenne team in every department of the game. This was the first time Rawlins ever beat Cheyenne on their own floor. Wheatland vs. R. H. S., February 23. Boarding the cars at Cheyenne for Wheatland and the state championship honors, we journeyed to Wheatland very confident of the victory. By winning this game it would mean a tie with W. H. S. for state championship. The game proved to be verv fast and rough. We lost the game, 28-18. our team took the lead at first, but lost it to the home boys, and at the end of the first half the score was 16-11 in favor of the W. H. S. Coming back strong we played them off their feet for ten minutes, but their weight told. The final score was 28-18 in favor of Wheatland. By losing this game it placed us in the second place in the state High School Conference. The game wound up the basket ball season, the most successful that the R. H. S. ever had. The team won eight out of eleven games—a record no other R. H. S. team ever made. Much praise must be given to Mr. Perry’s system in obtaining results, and Mr. Martin’s management of the team. We also wish to thank the loyal rooters of Rawlins for their support through the past season. EVERETT TUNNICLIFF, 1917. 11 s f joolog Society of Class of 1917 In October, 1913, the Freshmen secretly decided on a Freshmen dance for the Seniors. Everything was in preparation when some one came to the principal and disclosed our plans. The following night Miss Krueger asked to have a consultation with the Freshmen. After the consultation we all came out very much shriveled, and had our minds made up to wait until Juniors to start our social events. On the 17th of March, 1914, Ellen Bell entertained the Freshmen in the K. P. hall. The Freshmen colors were carried out in green and white. There were twenty-three present. Dancing was the amusement of the evening. After a very delicious lunch the guests departed, all declaring they had a very delightful time. The Junior and Senior dance, given in 1914, by the Seniors and Juniors, for the High School, was enjoyed by everyone. The Sophomore literary and debating society was organized on November 18, 1914. The object of this society was to have debates with the other societies. Mr. Ellefson was elected chairman and advisor various programs given by the society were very good. The meetings were held once every two weeks, and the society as a whole was very successful. The Junior Bazaar, given by the Juniors to raise funds to entertain the Seniors, was a great success. The dance and banquet which they gave was enjoyed by everyone. The social evenings which occurred every week were enjoyed by everybody. Everyone gathered at the “cracker box,” and dancing and entertainments followed. A light lunch was served, and everyone departed by midnight. The progressive dinner given by the Juniors, February 23, 1916, was a complete success. First meeting was at Tunnicliff’s, where we had soup. Salad course was served at Goldie’s. The meat course was served at Mahoney’s by Alice Johnson and Elizabeth Mahoney. The pudding course was served by Marguerite Buckley. We next adjourned to Turner’s, where we had ice cream. We then went to Bell’s, where we had cake and coffee, after which we went to Mrs. Daley’s and danced for several hours. Miss McIntosh and Miss Krueger were chaperones. At every home the colors, green and white, were well carried out. This was a complete success, and all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The Senior party was given by Edith Larsen at her home on March 17, 1916. The class colors were visible in every room. Favors of pigs were given to every guest. Dancing and other entertainments followed. The lunch was served and all departed for home. Everyone declared Edith a royal hostess. Miss Flora H. Krueger was hostess at a reception in honor of the faculty in the early fall. Light refreshments were served and a very enjoyable time was had. Miss Krueger was assisted by Marguerite Buckley, Elizabeth Mahoney, Alice Johnson and Goldie Harper. Everyone declared George’s party to be the event of the year. On the 14th of February all met at Mrs. Bostrum’s. A turkey dinner was served. Miss Henry and Miss Krueger were chaperones. The favors given were bunbonnet boys and girls, George Washington trees and a basket of candy. The colors were carried out in every conceivable way. In the center of the table a goat, the mascot, was placed. After dinner the Victrola was played while the guests played cards. It was one of the best parties the class has had, and everyone told Mrs. Bostrum they would gladly come again. A dinner was given to the basket ball team by the Senior girls in the Home Economics department, after which came the game and dancing. .. . , On March 20, Cecil Lawrence entertained at a stag dinner in honor of the basket ball team. The house was decorated in the High School colors. After dinner the guests played cards and enjoyed various amusements. Those who were seated at the table besides the team were Mr. Martin, Mr Perry, Mr. F. Hadsell and Mr. K. H. Hadsell. rerry, ELIZABETH MAHONEY, 1917.
