The editors of this annual have dis- covered this fact by sad experience. Therefore, we hope that. our readers will not criticize too severely, but will remember that this is our tirst attempt. In a few years we expect to see a splendid High School build- ing erected in Rock Springs. It will have all the modern im- provementsea gymnasium, laboratories, shops ,and a department for domestic science. We wish to thank the School Board for all the improvements on the old school building and their hearty approval of the new one. We wish, also, to extend our thanks to the people of Rock Springs, who show their willingness to help on the good work. They shall never have cause to regret it. The high school period Of youth is, without a doubt, the time when real character building begins. Before that time, a child receives impressions easily and is influenced almost entirely by environment and association, but during the last four 01' five years in school he learns to plan his course of action for himself and discovers forces within, which govern that course. It is the development and control of these inner forces that makes char- acter, and the importance of establishing habits to serve as a foundation for mature character is inestimable. Habits of at- tention, promptitude, accuracy, discretion, and truth are requisites of success in whatever walk we may choose; yet many high school i h pupils are disregarding every one of these virtues, having no thought except to 'Wpassti and hasten the time for graduation. Let us have more care for the grade and less for the means of obtaining it; think not so much of the commencement of real life, but more about being ready for it. In school work, there are temptations that are an equivalent to those that come to later years, and the boy or girl who conscientiously does each day's tasks is forming a foundation upon which to build a strong char- acter and a life of usefulness. But the pupil who learns to slide through school will go tobogganing throughlife,always on the decline. PLEASAN T MEMORIES. Her hair was black as midnight, Her red lips were never dumb, Clear were her eyes as the sunlight-m But her mouth was full of gum. Ch, those hours in the classes, Oh, that tireless tongue, Oh, those looks through the glasseSe But her mouth was full of gum. Charming, never rude her manner, Always smiling at those that come, Her moods were the best of a banneree But her mouth was full of gum. Her cheeks were like the roses, Never painted, as are some, She had one of those becoming noses- But her mouth was full of gum. Could that girl be never charming, Would she always laugh and hum, She could make the boys come swarming- If her mouth wasnlt full of gum. CARL D. SPICHELSPLACH. : Early History of Rock Springs : COMPiLED BY EDMUND BLAIR, CLASS OF 'H e Rock Springs received its name from the springs found at No. Six, the Union Pacific railroad giving it the name. in 1869. The real history of the city begins back in 1849 when the 01d Emigrant Trail first passed through No. Six, thence 0n west ttthe rush to the west and California, its station lo- cated at these springs north of town. Today graves mark the residence of this old sta- tion. In 1850 the Government established the regular stage station at this point. The present city was nothing but sage . brush and greasewood up to 1867. It was .. V at this time that Duncan and Archibald DR'FiEicghxgjgaiig i Blair came here partly in the interests of the coal fields and part- ly in the interests of a small store over at No. Six, which they built, afterwards moving the store to the present site of Blair- town. Up to 1869 there was not a house on the present site of the city and only a few dugouts along the creek. The oldest house in Rock Springs, dates back to 1870, moved from Point of Rocks; now number 301-303 over on D Street, at the present time a boarding house. It is in the year 1870 that Rock Springs really starts to live as a town, with John Jarvie and J. L. Young building a store and saloon on North Front 813., near the present Water Commissioners office. The hrst church services belong to this year, held at Blairtown, with Rector Lynn officiating. And the beginnings of an orchestra, with Mrs. Thayer at the head, belong to these days. An inter- esting feature of this early music is that some of the dan- ces would be held in a store, With the organ 0n the counter, Mrs. Thayer at the organ. Mr. Ludvigsen accompanying with School House at Number 6. the accordion. For other dan- s'held 1n the school building, M1s.Thaye1',M1. Ludvigsen and James Skedd, made up the 01chestra. The first Territorial Legislature was held December 10th,. 1569, with Duncan Blair as representative from Sweetwate1 Lounty, meeting in Cheyenne. The first postmaster was 0. C Smith, the office 1n the Beckwith Commercial Co. store, afterwald Beck11ith 8: Quinn, located on South Front; and it was this firm that had the first delivery wagon in the city. It was not until 1575 that Rock Springs could be called a census town, with a pop- siation of two hundred. N orth and South Front streets had the i 11:11011'111g buildings 1n 1876: Beckwith 8z Quinn; George Harris in marge of NThe American Housei1;W.H Miller and the Blair brothers, a butcher shop; and ac10ss from the present freight house was a boarding house carried on by John Ludvigsen. A few 1ea1s aftei we find Kinney and Goble 1n a little store where the Stockgrowers 1s now located; and the Bussey building,the store now occupied by the J. P. McDermott Co. The Independent, 2321' the Rocket, was the first newspaper, edited by N. B. DreSSe er in 1885; the Miner started some time after, Robert Smith the eji' or: and it was about this time, 1887, that the 01d Sweetwate1 Bank. now the First National Bank of Rock Springs, commenced is business in the city. This latter year saw the completion of the pipe line from Green River, and Rock Springs supplied with 6:3: water; it also saw the foundation laid for the first Opera House. Edgar Chalice the builder. And it is this year, 1888, Nov- ember 13th, that Rock Springs was incorporated, with William O'Donnell as Mayor. 1 History 01 the Public Schools of Rock Springs COMPILED BY MISS WASSUNG, CLASS OF 111 The first school building, 01 any note, goes back thirty-one years ago, 1880, toe room, iocated on B street, with thirty pupils, Mrs. Tisdell the teacher. in ' 551-82 an addition of one room was made and two teachers were in charge, V55. Tisdeii assisted by Mrs.C1ark, some ninety pupils in attendance upon. 31: a 1ater date another room was added, making a three room frame building. 1 'u-pied until 1891, when the present stone structure was finished, now called -TEY: Main Building. located on 2nd and B streets. Eight rooms were fitted .5. for school purposes, six of which were used at once with full grades to the eighth and a few ninth grade stu- dents in attendance. To :this building was added an :extra room over on Bridge 9 avenue, with some thirty pu- pils enrolled. This Main building cost about $28,000 when completed. The frame buildings were sold in three ' '9 parts, one used as a residence . Mrs J-lWTlSDELL on A street, the other part Mrs.SARAH SHEDDEN . . . . . ; Early County Superintendent Teacher m Rh: Flfs! School In occupled as a home On A when main building was ROCk Splings' and 2nd streets; the third conshuctcd. part is used by the Morris Hardware Company as a warehouse, now located on 4th street. The West Flat building was built in 1904. Number 6, with one room, and No. F our originally with two rooms, then another room added later, had been in use because of the increased population in these parts of the district. In 1889 Principal Reed was at the head, with Mary Woods, Emily Ran- kin, Mary Dickson now Mrs. W. W. Paterson, and Lila Brooks as assistants. In 1895-96 A. J. Mathews was the head, assisted by Emily Rankin, Isis Hall, Mrs. Bidwell, after this place supplied by Ida Hill, Clyde Carpenter, Mary Dickson and Mrs. Hubbs. The graduating class of this year was Jennie Young, Bessie Taylor, Alma Ramsay, Ada Parker, Albert Moffitt and John Shedden.

This North Side school pefmitted the Board to give up City Hall, used formerly and for a number of ream for the high school and one grade, and thus stopped the rent that had heen so long paid. This new building and the re-arrangement of the others, increased the teaching force, naturally, and the Board felt that the qualifications 9 .. for teachers should be added to, and so the maximum salary for good talent and Well trained men and Women, has been raised to conform to other like city school systems of the'state'ancf about, All of. these additions and improvew ments and increased salaries have taken money, and yet the Board stands today' without, any outstanding Jebts; fts bills a paid and money on Band to carry all current expenses; and. not one cent of additional tax called. for from the tax payers, T.- SEDIAJENj TALIAFERRO; JL, Sembr M-emBeri.

So sweet the blu,h of bashfulncss, Even pity can scarce wish it less. Hallie Spicer is now at- tending an academy in Los Angeles; Robb Reavill, Miss WalcottEs school in Denver; Irene Chalice, the Collegiate Institute in Salt Lake; Lil- lian Thomas will this year graduate from the Salt Lake High School; Janet Park has been taking a com- mercial course at the State University; and Maud Spm- well is now in the city. Most of the boys have gone to work, but a few have entered other schools. Tobey Reavill is attending school at Exeter,New Hamp- shire. Roy Sanden is work- ing in Robinson, Illinois; and Percil Gates is working in Iiaho Falls, Idaho. Those Tarking in town are Oscar ::-:.kel, Lawrence Walters, aid Eugene Levesque. But the six who have g:z'aggled through the four years are each noted for si-me special thing, so the clue makes up in quality what it lacks in quantity. As a whole, the Seniors are noted for their wit, tal- ent, and beauty. We know the rest of the hig school will miss us, but 3'6 simply must go. Edmund Blair, during his school life, has been noted REITH W'ASSUNC, News Editor, Glee Club, A. D. C. 'Mn' . hxh charms to sooth the savage breast. To aim rocks, or bend e kddtted oak.

She is so free, so kind. so apt, so blessed a disposi- tion. she holds ita vice in her goodness' not to do more than she is requested. for his bashfulness, but dur- ing the last year he has changed, somewhat. If we Senior girls could only be with him another year, we . know he would, at least, be able to smile at the Junior girls. Then comes our good na- tured, happy-go-lucky fel- 10W,Thomas Griffiths, who is an exact opposite to Mr. Blair. He is very talkative, making a splendid book agent, and is now debating whether, after taking his four years at Boulder, he will sell books or take up electrical engineering. The Senior girls are more or less noted for their talent in music. Ruth Wassung, however, is the only one Who has won a tin medal for playing on the comb. Ruth has proven herself a first-class reporter for the Annual, having been reporting form the ttMinerl, for a number of years. Grace Larsen is noted for being a great yocalist.

Who of us do not remember the trying hours spent over .1. zebra that first hard year? And Who will ever forget the :15 of keeping a botany note book in good order, or the pleas- u: excursions over the hills, looking for specimens that were am: :here. We lost a few of our numbers during that year, s me by removal to other schools; some for other reasons. Among those Who entered other schools, Leia Koppel Will be 19. pleasantly remembered as a bright and faithful member,enow a member of the Junior class in Boise, Idaho. September, 1909, found us all in our places ready for new fields of labor. our number slightly diminished, for the vacant, places in the ranks were filled by new members, of whom Harry Francis deserves mention as a valuable addition. . ' Geometry proved our greatest trial, but in the main, we tn- 11mphed over all. Again our ranks were broken by the removal of some of our favorites. John and Alice OtDonnell left us to take up their worn in the high school at Boise. Esther McDon- ald carried away to Oklahoma City a world of life and VlyaCIty. Last Septemberfound us again in our places,th1s time as J uniors. A few new students entered the section thls year, among whom were Thomas Jones and Thomas Clark. Two or three dropped out but still our class is large and prosperous. Some of our studies are quite difficult, Physics being the most difficult of all. But the majority master them, and we hope to end the year with high standings so that the teachers will be proud of the J unior class. The Juniors will make the largest Senior class for 1911 and 1912 in the history of the high school, some twenty or more already planning for the next year. It will be one of the largest prospective graduating classes in the state. 0903090 At the time when King George was upon the throne, it hap- pened one day in a beautiful Park, where a tall Linden nodded it's graceful head to the Hazelts, that a brave Hunter called Le Marr met fair Helen and her Foster sister Christena. HWhy have you come, bold Hunter, with all this pomp and Blair, queried she of the blue eyes and Frank smile. Partly because I hoped to find a Smith to set the shoes that my poor horse, Tom, has cast, and partly to breathe the CIara-tied air of the Ire Dale? ttKinney walk with one shoe off? Oh! I am sure he cant. But I know a blacksmith who can shoe your horse on the Morrow. But do you not belong to that band of robbers Which Harrys our helds each night? I hope to die if I-ver belonged to such a band, he declared. ttWhat say you, Geneft he asked, turning to his companion, a FranciS-can monk, beside him. ttNever heard of lEmK he replied.

Last year in the Declama- tory contest one of the students of 13 was among the six best readers. - The class 0f 13 has two of the best singers in this yeafs high school, and there are several other musicians among us. There is also a great deal of good material for debating. We have organized a debating society, for we intend to join the De- bating League for 1911 and 12, which is to be formed among the high schools of the state, and we think we will be able to hold our own among them. Although a few of our class mates have dropped, we know they are true to the Blue and Gold. We miss them all, especially Carleton Carter, whose cheery smile kept us all good natured dui- ing our long school hours. The aim of the Sophomore class is, and always will be, dur- ing the coming years, to keep the Rock Springs High School up to the highest standard, and to help make it the equal of any high school in the state. Weill raise the Orange and the Black high above all the others, and we will ever join with enthusiasm in singing the last verse of our class song. iiOur colors are the Blue and Gold, The best throughout the land, Our motto is, nVVeHe ready, whatever is at hand.

When Lillian Krenzer entered the Rock Springs High School, two years ago, she brought with her splendid recommendations from the Omaha school, which she had previously attended. She at once became a member oi the class of l9l3, in which she was alWays a faithful worker and leader. Whenever there was any extra work to he done, Lillian was always ready to help. While she was with us she maintained her high standard of scholarship, and because of her studiousness and natural brilliancy, she always stood among the hrst in her classes. Although we all admired Lillian,s ability, we admired, still more, her en- thusiastic, sunny disposition, and it is because of these loveable traits, par- ticularly, that the memory of Lillian will always remain with her classmates and teachers of the high school. - 24 . :1 ZMEImmmu ?gomumo omuuoc i...4 on-vig wiri'mel :: CLASS ROLL :: imam..- Eomumumuwumnwo; FRESHMEN A.

The two Lane hoys live out on their ranch which is about fifty miles from the nearest town. Their cabin is built of logs, and consists of three good sized rooms. Great mountains close it in on one side, while Green river fiows steadily onward in front. When looking at it from a distance, the trees almost obscure it from view, but on nearer approach one can see the smoke of the chimney rising and floating in curling rings above the trees. At the door sits one of the boys, calmly smoking his pipe, and looking with steady, pleasant gaze over meadows of alfalfa. As he sits there, the shadows of evening gently spread along the earth, and ere long the silent stars appear one by one in the heavens. Presently the other boy comes from without the house, and together they walk, side by side, down the worn 01d trail to 'the river. The moon is shining and its refiection gleams brightly on the waves, Not far off a whip-poor-will chants ihs solemn notes, and then silence again reigns over all. This quiet place in the midst of Natures finest works, with no music save that. of the murmuring water, and rustle of the leaves, often mingled with the weird howling 0f the coyotes, satisfies these boys far more than all of the noise, bustle and hurry 0f the city. -37- .. A Fairy Tale .. CHAS. LEVESQUE, '13 Once upon a time there was an immense orchard in which 1r: a very beautiful tree. She far surpassed all of her compan- I-.-r.s. which made them very envious. ' This tree was very proud of her beauty. All day long she rush: gently nod to and fro, and you could hear the leaves i'rtispering to each other. In fact, this tree was so proud and :333eitezl that she would not look at the others. This made the God of Seasons very angry so he sent a big storm to destroy her :ezuty. As the other trees saw the proud tree lose her beauty, 139:: were very glad and happy, and rejoiced greatly at her ziz-rm'all. The God of Seasons saw the envious nature of the other mes. and resolving to punish them also, he sent another storm m3. destroyed their leaves and blossoms, and left them as bar- 5:: and desolate as the first.

Tomorrow we will go forth early and you shall see the wonders of Mars. NOW good nightf The next morning the boys started out bright and early, with the King, to see the palace and grounds. The palace was one long, low, glittering mass of glass, which reflected all the colors of the rainbow in the dazzling morn- ing light. The walks in the forest were very narrow and all the trees were small, and minature animals ran hither and thitherf A large fountain, in the form of a lion, stood in the center, and the wate1',all diff'e1e11t colo1s shot high into the air.

They were very much surprised to hear that the Martians played football, but were still more surprised to hear that the college 011 Mars was called Yale After a hurried breakfast the next morning they started for the campus. The boys were very much amused with their sur- roundings. When the players came forth, Johnnie almost fell from the grand stand, in his excitement. For there was Uncle Harry, all ready to play ball. Johnnie ran up to him in great pleasure, but he was not very pleasantly received. For grabbing Johnnie by the ear, Harry said, uYou rascal, 1111 teach you to run off with my airship, just when 1 want it? and he hurled Johnnie down into the space helOw. .36- Oh Willie, catch me! and J ohnnie punched his brother who was sleeping peacefully at his side. 0h!

In each corner of the room a college was repre- sented. There were: Vassar, Yale, Chicago, and Wyoming. An original track meet program was carried out, in which Wyoming won the most points, with Vassar second. A grand march and dancing also added to the pleasure of the evening, and a delicious lunch was served at the close. The contest by the pupils of the Senior class, on the essays, ttWhy Young People Should attend the State University, was held on Thursday evening, March the twenty-third, in the high school rooms. A good program of music and recitations was rendered by the Juniors and Sophomores, and a very pleasant evening was enjoyed by those present. The Seniors and Juniors were delightfully entertained by the Sophomores on the afternoon of February the twenty-hrst. The room was beautifully deco- rated in the high school and class colors and pennants. A very interesting pro- gram, consisting of songs and recitations, was rendered.

Among the visitors this year were Soren Larsen and Chas. Crofts. This year the drawing classes have done excellent work. Drawing is required by all pupils in the Freshmen classes, but is elective in the upper classes. Coach Dean, of Laramie, in the in- terests of the State University, was a visitor March 25th. He gave the pupils a talk about the In- terscholastic M e e t to be held in Lara- mie 0n the 19th of May. Rev. F. C. Lewis,s name is on the Visit- ing list. D. M.

Forrest and Rev. Bradshaw. Mr. Van Deusen spoke concerning the Constitution and Gov- ernment of Oregon. This gave the pupils an idea of how Oregon is governtd. Mr. Forrest's speech was about the direct primary law, tell- ing how different states took up the matter of voting. Rev. Bradshaw, a Baptist missionary, who has been in China foxfthe past thirty years, gave a very interesting talk about the Chinese. He told how queer their customs, dress, and habits were, and how they were educating their children. The Chinese are just beginning to see the light of affairs but are rapidly ad- vancing. Rev. Bradshaw says, they start from the top and go down. This was shown especially when they started educating their children. They first built their colleges and universities and hired their teachers, but finding that they had no college students, they at last decided to Luild their primary schools. The Essay Contest was held at the Main Building, March 23. This contest is being held by all Senior classes of the state. Dr. Merica, President of the State University, has offered two prizes, one of $25.00 and the other $10.00, for two best essays. The judges awarded the honors to Misses Clara Hickerson and Grace Larsen. These papers were sent to Laramie to compete With other papers. The morningcross country runs, which were instigated by Prof. Moir, are becoming; popular among the boys. We hope to send some of our boys to Laramie to compete in the Interscholas- tic meet which is to be held on the 19th of May. This is excellent training. A mcst enjoyable evening was spent at the North Side School Building, March 17. The rooms were beautifully decorat- ed to represent four prominent colleges and a joliy time was re- ported by all. Freshmen B and Sophomore girls have organized basket ball teams. Owing to the lateness 0f the school year, they wiil not be able to accomplish much, but they can organize at the be- ginning of next year and be able to play other basket ball teams of the state. .44.

It is not very often that a school is fortunate enough to have an actor recite for them; but during a stay of three days in Rock Springs, Sanford Dodge visited the school one morning and gave a number 01 excellent selections from Shakespeare. Many of the teachers of the Rock Springs schools are gradu- ates 0f the State University. Misses Agnes Anderson, Anna Bills, Evangeline Downey, Mabel Sodergreen, iMargaret Wood, Mrs. Erby and C. D. Moir. Those Who have attended summer schooi and are reliable teachers are, Misses Elsie Paterson, Bertha White, Margaret Freeman, Mary Connor and Myrtle Lloyd. Rooms 12 and 10 have been beautifully decorated. The Fresh- men A decorated their room in the class colors, old rose and nile green. The Seniors took possession of Room 12 and decorated it in their own class colors, gold and White. We would advise the other rooms to do likewise. It adds greatly to the appearance. Again this year the Declamatory Contest and Interscholastic Meet will be held at Laramie, May 19. It is our aim to send someone to represent us in both this year. Last year we Were represented only in the Deelamatory Contest. D120. J . Blakesley was at Rawlins, March 25, to attend the Superintendents and Principal's section of State Teachefs As- sociation. The High School has a large number of self-supporting young men. St me twenty-two are out at work in bank and store and office and shop, nights and mornings and Saturdays, hasten- 7 ing away at the close of the school day to be at their posts of duty. It is almost unnecessary to say that the schools suffer no loss by reason of this outside work. They never do With a fellow , who wants an education and is willing to earn a part of it. - 45 - THOMAS CLARK, t12, - EDITOR. Athletics in the Rock Springs High School have never received the proper attention, and for the past few years, at least, this side of the school life has been noticeably neglected. When we consider the enrollment of our high school, and the very desirable athletic material that has been with us from time to time, it is not a little surprising to note the lack of enthusiasm displayed in out-of-door games. Once a cadet corps existed here, and once or twice a football team was formt cl with. perhaps, a little success, locally. Baseball is the popular game. Any attempt to create a desire for other manly sports has little support from the student body. This lack of interest can be attributed to sev- eral conditions, but chiefly to the fact that the instinct for physical exercise has never been thoroughly aroused. Competition is a necessary adjunct to keep things going, and our boys, never having come in contact with organized or competitive athletics, because of the heavy expense of long trips, and because there was no coach of leader to develop the available material, or to keep the spirit up, have never been properly infused with the real spirit. However, a decided change for the better seems now under way, and it is, doubtless, due to the recent move toward an annual inter-scholastic meet for the high schools of the state. Last year nearly all of the larger towns sent repre- sentatives to the contest, and keen interest was then displayed. There will be close competition this year and Rock Springs will send a delegation. We did not send any men to take part in the Field Meet last year, but we have the spirit now and expect to do something this time. Some of the boys have been turn- ing out regularly in the morning for a crossecountry run, and with another month,s hard work, will be in fine shape. . 4t; Tam gm: u ttr ??$LCZEC 3 anti Sophomore classes have formed baskete ball m an: 2:9 ;1 2:11; art: school.

They have already scalped two classes, and are now waiting to cross bats m.th the Juniors and Seniors. iii El Aside from the usual classes with the dumb-bells and Indian clubs, one period each Friday afternoon is being devoted to out-of-door beauty walks for the girls, and to Various exercises for the boys. This is really to get the boys together for try-out work in various events. 1'11 In conclusion, nothing is better for the physical and mental deveiopment of our boys and girls than to participate in the various games and exercises. It is the recreation part of our school life that maintains and improves our health, adds to our vigor, and quickens our latent powers, so requisite to the betterment of our faculties, and necessary to keep up and raise the standard of our schools. The students of this year must make an effort for the Rock Springs High School in the coming Meet at Laramie, and in the up-building of our athletics. E-El Managing Committee of the ANNUAL.
