For us the summer now lias brought The last of high school days, The knowledge we have daily sought Must guide us on our ways. Greet, then, with voices gay The Class of Seventeen; Greet with mirth and with play The finest class ever seen— Steamboat High school days They have always happy been. Now we say good-bye. The Class of Seventeen. So, in the coming years, dear ones, When joy replaces pain. When happy laughter follows tears, As sunshine follows rain, Let worldly cares forbear, dear ones, The while we sing the praise Of mem'ries sweet and rich and rare Of dear old Steamboat days. They bring us happy hours. Chorus Salutator? CLASSMATES, INSTRUCTORS, PARENTS AND FRIENDS: We are celebrating tonight the commencement exercises of the class of '17. We are glad to see so many of our friends present and welcome you, one and all. The members of the class feel that by your presence here you are showing an interest in our future welfare. Tonight we are bidding good-bye to our High school days and are eagerly looking into the future. Our motto is “Knowledge is Power.” and because we believe this we are all looking forward to a college education. Many benefits are received from a college education. It enables a boy or girl to get out and meet people, and gives them self-confidence and poise, which it would take them several years to attain if they did not go to college. The friends and social acquaintances be makes are often of great value in later life as the alumnae form associations and clubs where one can go and associate with congenial companions; or, if lie should go to some other city, he would meet many graduates of his col- lege, would be taken in as one of them and his connection with them often would enable him to secure a better position. College education makes people rely on themselves, as then they do not have father or mother to tell them what is right and what is wrong. They have many decisions to make and if they make a mistake they know better next time, and seldom do they make the same mistake twice. Then there is the spirit of competition, both in debating and athletics. Debating enlarges the vocabulary and enables a person to put his thoughts into words. Also, by considering both sides of a question, a person’s mind is broadened. His ideas are thus cleared of all prejudices, so he is really able to grasp the truth when it is presented to him. I bis is also in line with the training he receives in a law school if a young man should be interested in that kind of work. The athletic training keeps him in good physical condition without which he cannot do good work. It also brings out the best there is in him and makes him think straight since men who are not straight are not allowed to com- pete. He learns that it is better to lose fairly than to win by underhand methods. The result of this training is that he nearly always carries these ideals with him when he goes into business. There is a nation-wide demand for specialized workers, and it is proved that the boy who goes through high school receives more than the boy who doesn’t go to high school, and that the boy who goes to college receives more after a few years’ experience than the boy who doesn't go to college. A college education broadens the mind and enables the student to face life properly equipped to make a living and maintain a high standard of living. The immigrants who stop in the cities and live in the tenement districts think they are very fortunate because it is so much better than what they have been accustomed to. But after being in the United States and getting an education their children raise the standard of living and become good citizens. Let me thank you again, kind friends, for your presence here, and the interest you have shown in the class of ’17. BURTON ALLIN. Ualebittorp Teachers, schoolmates, friends and parents: We are celebrating tonight the commencement of the class of '17. This is one of the largest classes that ever graduated from the Steamboat Springs High School and. we like to think, the best. We have shown tha we were progressive. We presented a class play and the second Annual of this High school. This work is not required for graduation, but wanting S. S. H. S. to be kept in the front rank we have done these things. It may sound as though it were easy, but much work is connected with these enter- prises. The class has been as a whole in giving their best efforts to these projects. We sincerely hope that the school will be able to continue this work. It helps the school and it gives valuable training to-those participating. On the part of the graduates I want to thank all of you for your attendance here tonight and for your hearty support of our Annual and class play. As all Seniors we feel very dignified and I suppose take ourselves too seriously. But if we do not take ourselves seriously how can we expect anyone else to? And why take the joy out of us by bringing us back to earth? We will probably land with a jolt pretty soon anyhow, so let us be happy in our own way. While we are glad to be out of High school and ready to take a more important part in the world yet this is done not altogether with pleasure, but also in sadness. How we regret leaving our High school! We have had a pleasant time together and it is indeed hard to think of leaving our old associates. However this is necessary as we realize that we have received enough from others and it is now our duty to work for ourselves. Little did we think in dreaming of the joys of graduation that the parting would be so difficult. A great debt of gratitude is owed to the Board of Education who have taken time from their business to look after the welfare of the school. They are doing a great service to mankind in their efforts to see that all may have an education. By this means they are raising the social standard not only of Colorado but of the whole world. You, by fostering education, are doing a truly great work. Ignorance and crime go hand in hand, and by decreasing illiteracy you are preventing crime. We should not have the grand and glorious nation of ours today if it were not for education. People do not rise to the plane of self-government if they are uneducated. A few learned men may control the ignorant of a whole nation, but when all the nation strives for more knowledge thinkers and workers will arise and rule for themselves. We. the class of ’17, are duly thankful for the privileges you have afforded us. Our instructors may know how we feel tonight since they have gone through the same experiences themselves. We believe that the sadness in parting is not all on our side, as it is probable that the faculty is sorry to have us leave. You can be sure that we appreciate the many things you have done for us; that we repent the sorrow we have caused you, for the clas has not been a model class. We have had good times in High school and nave often thought more of these things than of our studies. We know that we have ofttimes disappointed you and made you think all your efforts in vain. Rut we hope in after life to reward you for all your efforts by becoming men and women who will be a credit to your instruction, and to the Steamboat High school. Although none of us may be famous, we can all become good citizens. Underclassmen: It is your duty to uphold the honor and dignity of the Steamboat High school. We hope you will profit by our varied experiences and have no cause to repent your past deeds. Tt causes us much sorrow to leave you behind. We have all stood together, but tomorrow we scatter; we to take up our work in a new life, you to strive to the goal we have reached. In the distant future we shall still be loyal to S. II. S. We can never forget the pleasant days we have spent there together. Pleasant memories will come to us of our pranks in school—of our parties, of our St. Patrick’s parades, and many of the joys that filled our school life. None can regret more than we the closing of school. However we enjoy the thoughts of being free from the restraint and discipline of our high school life and we look forward with pleasure to our new work. Live in the present; enjoy yourself now and get all there is out of life. Don’t think what a hard time you are having now. and that next year or next month you will be enjoying life. Getting enjoyment out of life is entirely up to you, and if you continually think only of the future, life is gradually slipping from you. When it is too late you will awake to the realization of what you have missed. Count the past an empty dream and let only the present be in your thoughts. The miser hoards his gold and lives a miserable existence, dreaming of the joy and power he will have in the future; but, alas, too late he will see his mistake and then life is over. We have only a short time to live in this world and it is our duty and highest pleasure to do our best right now. Live in the present; not in the past or future. The man or woman who does things lives not in the future but in the present. The present is all that is really yours. Nothing else is in our possession. We stand here tonight a class loyal to the S. H. S., and so will ever remain loyal to the patrons and teachers of our High school. We, the class of ’17, part tonight hoping that we will long be remem- bered by you and our followers in school. We find that saying good-bye is the most difficult part of graduation, but we realize it must come. The graduates of S. II. S. class 1917 bid an affectionate farewell to our teachers, to the underclassmen and to our happy school days together in S. IT. S. MAURICE LECKENBY.

Class iPiopfjccp IVE years had elapsed since the graduation of the illustrious class of ’17. I was spending the winter traveling through sunny Spain. In Feb- ruary a friend invited me to visit her in Granada. I took up my res- idence in the old, ruined castle of the Alhambra. There I enjoyed myself rambling spell-bound in the enchanted ruins, dreaming about the stories of The Alhambra is an ancient fortress or palace of Moorish kings. On wandering through the many corridors it seems as if we are transported into ancient times and we are treading the scenes of Arabian stories. 1 he mystery and superstitions connected with the place seem real. It is impos- sible to contemplate this once favorite abode of Oriental manners without feeling the early associatons of Arabian romance and one almost expects to see some mysterious princess beckoning from the balcony or some dark eyes sparkling through the lattice. One beautiful moonlight night, when the spell of the place had taken an unusual hold on me, I was standing in the tower gazing out over the quiet valley and up into the glorious pile of mountains that gives to Granada that combination of delights so rare in a southern city. Suddenly I was startled by a sound behind me. I turned and saw an old. old woman. She was stooped and eerie. She had with her a beautiful globe which glistened like an opal, reflecting bright-colored gleams of light. The old lady recounted many legends about the inhabitants of the Alham- bra. Then, noticing that I was curious about the globe, she told me that by looking into its depths she could foresee the future. I wished to know about my classmates, so 1 inquired about the class of ’17. With incredible swiftness her thought flashed across the years and she saw the events of 1927. Placing the globe upon a balustrade she looked into its clear depths and uttered an exclamation of surprise. She told me that Maurice Leckenby had become editor-in-chief of the New York Tribune. He wrote many brilliant editorials. He had first been employed as office boy on the Denver Post. Next he became a reporter, and finally he rose to be assistant editor. I’wo years later he had gone to New York. For several months he had sought in vain for employment, wandering from office to office. One day he stepped into the office of the New York Tribune, fully expecting no better success than formerly. He found that they were greatly in need of an office boy, so he started to work immediately. Two years afterward he was promoted to his present position. She turned the globe slightly and said that Burton Allin had gone to Chicago the summer after his graduation. Through the influence of a friend he received a position with the United States Steel corporation, which is one of the largest in America. Russell Ohman’s great career began with our Senior class play in which he played the part of Leviticus. The fact that the play was a great success was due to his unexcelled command of the negro dialect. He went to Cali- fornia and went into the “movies.” He had remained there only a year when he received an urgent request from the McIntyre Heath Company to join the company. Tie is now end-man in this famous minstrel show and his future is assured. the past. Marion Leckenby stHdied music in Liepzic for two years: During her sojourn in Europe the war broke out. She made several attempts to return to America and finally resigned herself to her fate and remained. One after- noon she was industriously applied at her music when she heard a great commotion near her studio. She went out to find the cause of the disturbance and was seized and dragged to prison. Two days later, without learning the cause of her ill treatment, she was taken before the court, was tried as a spy and found guilty. She was bound and led away from the town to the soldiers’ quarters. The gups were leveled at her and the man was waiting for the signal to shoot, when the emperor rode up. He ordered the men to unbind her and took her into his coach and took her safely back to her own home, and surrounded her with guards. The Emperor had been charmed by Marion’s music and said that the world could not afford to lose such a tal- ented person. The Emperor tried in vain to have her remain in Germany, making dazzling offers of money and fame. However she could not be pur- suaded to give up her own country. She returned and played with several great lyceum courses. She was now accompanist for Kreisler. rendering Gounod’s “Faust.” and “Romeo and Juliet” more easily and beautifully than it had ever been done before. She was also employed as a teacher in the New England Conservatory. Marguerite Crane, who often charmed us with her melodious voice in school had become a great prima donna. After her last rendition of “Aida. she received compliments and honors from many illustrious members of our aristocracy. She now sings in the Metropolitan Grand Opera and thou- sands of people flocked to the theater every evening to hear her. She had made a deep impression upon Caruso. They had met several times at social gatherings and lie had secured an introduction to her. She rejected his suit and because of his great sorrow he had quit singing and now we will hear no more of his wonderful records. Marguerite had changed from the once happy, care-free girl to a steady, staid young woman who hated all the friv- olities of life. Clarence Hasty had studied for three years in Drake University. He was now a famous evangelist and already had converted more persons than Hilly” Sunday. lie had visited Steamboat and had a very great influence upon the lives of the people, bringing unregenerated sinners back into the straight and narrow path of righteousness. At the present time he was in Oak Creek converting many people. Charles Birkett had gone to Columbia University, where he specialized in science. Upon receiving his degree he remained at the college as a teacher. Now he was a great professor of science and gave lectures to hundreds of students upon the Universality of the Malleability of the Atomic Theory of Aureolation of the Whichness of the What.” He also had invented many electrical appliances which Edison had never dreamed of. Irene Dismukes entered college at Greeley and for two years had dili- gently pursued her work. She taught school in Denver for one year, then accepted a position in the Steamboat High school, teaching domestic science and music. She is now living happily in a cozy little cottage and is very adept at making biscuits. In my eagerness to learn my own future I leaned over to peep into the globe. I struck the globe and it fell into the valley below. I looked over the balustrade into, the depths of the valley. Only a few bright gleams of light were reflected up to me. The globe had broken into myriads of tiny glass particles. My future is still to be revealed. LETHA COLEMAN. Class pistor? N a certain bright, sunny morning in the year 1913 the spacious cor- ridors of the Steamboat Springs High school were filled with a throng of brilliant juveniles who were in all respects the most wonderful of any students ever before present at that institution. It would have been a terrible insult to have called them Freshmen ! Though they were small and innocent looking, the look of supernatural wisdom which they wore infused anticipatory joy into the hearts of the faculty. Those who were about to resign now decided to stay as it would be such a pleasure to conduct these resplendent intellects along the path of Knowledge. There were about twenty of these brilliant pupils enrolled, under the leadership of Professor Cochran, and the Misses Shearer and Hoyt. But in the middle of the term Mr. Cochran found these same students too much for him. so he left us and Professor Miller from Denver filled the vacancy. At the beginning of the next year over half of those extraordinary people found themselves too far advanced for the Steamboat Springs High school. The long, hard struggles with Caesar and geometry proved to be their Waterloo. We who remained felt very much elated over our exploits and looked about us eagerly for new worlds to conquer. When we were Juniors the High school was under the charge of an entirely new faculty; Mr. Thompson was superintendent. Mr. Baker was principal, and Miss Sutphen and Miss Clark were the women teachers. We started off with a Hallowe’en party, where we proved ourselves to be very entertaining hosts and hostesses. Later in the year we had a real actor among us. His first performance in public was in the play entitled “French Spoken Here.” which was given for the Literary programme. On January 25 we celebrated Bobbie Burns’ birthday with a party and programme, and it was here that we found out that the dissention among us could be banished by the sweet singing of Marguerite Crane. As usual everybody came to school dressed in their “Sunday-go-to- Meeting” clothes on St. Patrick’s day, much to the pleasure of all the teach- ers. That afternoon the Juniors received many compliments on their well- planned paper. “Erin Go Brah.” In the autumn of 1916 there were two changes among the faculty. Miss Stukey and Miss Emma Keller also became assistants in the delightful task of developing our brilliancy. Our record had been so wonderful as Juniors that we knew it would be a hard task to excel it as Seniors. However we set our minds resolutely to the task and started the year of 1916-17 with much hope and enthusiasm. The members of the class were Maurice Leckenby, Burton Allin, Russell Oilman, Clarence Hasty, Marguerite Crane, Sidney Whetstone, Letha Cole- man. Marion Leckenby, Ivron Lewis, Cora McKinney, Irene Dismukes and Charles Birkett. But Sidney, Cora and Tvron left us soon after school started. The officers of this truly wonderful class were: President—Burton Allin. Vice-President—Maurice Leckenby. Treasurer—Sidney Whetstone. Secretary—Marion Leckenby. As is the custom, we started off with the Senior supper at the reservoir. Everybody reported “wienies” and coffee the best they had ever tasted. One evening in November the Seniors planned to “slip one over” on the rest of the school by having a little party all our own. So, about 7 :30 each one came with a bundle of sandwiches, cake or other dainties. All this was stored in the second grade room, which we afterward found to be a very poor place. While we were in the laboratory learning about the wonders -of static electricity the rest of the High school “put one over on us.” They had a party of their own, and the tragic part of it was that they enjoyed our refreshments. Two of our worthy Seniors were on the basket ball team this year, although they didn’t have much chance to prove their wonderful skill. The one game that was played at Kremmling brought S. S. H. S. out ahead. Many of the baskets were made by Burton Allin, our swift and efficient forward. Late in January we began work on our Senior play, “Kicked Out of College,” 'As the cast was too large for our class we chose several Sophs and Juniors to be in the play. Maurice was Booties Benbow, the hero. I lie Benbow family was composed of Marion, as his sister; Marguerite, the suff- rage leader, as his mother, and Burton, the wealthy cracker manufacturer, as his father. Letha was “Ma Baggs y,” the kind, middle-aged woman who was mother to all the college boys. Charles was the “hen-pecked actor man,” with Alma Baer as his “little Rosebud.” If only Clarence continued “to be a dig and a grind” in school as in the play I’m sure he would have been the teacher’s pet. Again our star actor came on the scene as “Little Leviticus,” the butler who “reckons he’d better marry Salamanca Spivens so he won’t have to work no more.” Salamanca, the ebon-lined Diana of the washboard,” was represented by Irene. We decided that we would prove the merit of the class of T7 by getting out an Annual. This is the second ever put out by the S. S. H. S. The first was compiled during the year when our side of the assembly was most brilliantly green. Maurice Leckenby was selected editor-in-chief of the Annual. Charles Birkett was advertising manager and proved to be a very good talker; at least he succeeded in bringing in a large amount of adver- tisements. which helped out greatly. We hope the people of Steamboat Springs will patronize those establishments that helped us so generously. There was much excitement during the week that each one had his picture taken. Many felt that their pictures did not do them justice, but after several people had told them that they looked perfectly natural, they relented and had them finished for the Annual. Although some of the Freshmen had very weird expressions on their faces the photographer said it was due to the disappointment they received when they failed to see the little bird fly out. The Annual was issued May 1st and was received with great enthusiasm and interest. All Steamboat Springs agreed that it was a masterpiece. As the people of our town review the scholastic events of the past four years they are filled with admiration and respect. And they will declare unanimously that the class of 1917 is by far the greatest that has ever been graduated from the S. S. Ii. S. MARION LECKENBY.

Not only was the choice of the comedy most fortunate, but the artistic ability of each of the seventeen young ladies and gentlemen taking part was quite remarkable. Each of the characters wars splendidly presented, and all who witnessed the play agreed that Steamboat is very fortunate in possessing such dramatic ability.—Routt County Sentinel. “Kicked Out of College” was presented by the Senior class of the Steam- boat Springs High school at the Orpheum theater Saturday and Monday nights, the playhouse being packed on both occasions. It is a clever comedy and proved a splendid vehicle to display the talents of the versatile members of the class of 1917. There are a number of especially good characters, and all were so well handled that it would be unjust to particularize. Music was furnished by the orchestra of the Methodist' church.—The Steamboat Pilot. Clasts iPoem IRENE DISMUKES. The hearts of the class of '17 Are filled with thoughts all serene; Tomorrow shall we all depart Tnto the world’s great busy mart. We’ve had our studies of different things And often thought we moved in rings. And sometimes thought we’d surely fall. Out by hard work we’ve conquered all. There’s old Algebra, so dreary! How oft we pondered weak and weary. To get those problems was our goal Out. alas, could not. to save our soul. When we were sure xy was home Here came the pesky . all in a foam, Calling loudly for attention— Oh. dear! We deserve a pension! And when we worked with might and main Next morn at class we got a pain When Mr. Oaker, in accents loud. Said: “My, you are a brilliant crowd!” And then came Caesar, monster dire. To brave his wrath we did aspire. Miss Clark, with looks of blank despair. Thought she would like to pull our hair. Mr. Thompson, Science, Writing, too, If any one’s better, tell us who? In debate he always doth hide; He’s neutral and on neither side. Miss Keller’s class in Domestic Science With food and taste doth make an alliance; Sometimes we make a terrible muss But. then, of course, she doth never fuss. Miss Stukey taught us lots of Dutch ; Really we have learned so much Some might be taken for a spy; If so, from fright we’ll surely die. In foot ball, track and basket ball We’ve never had to fail at all, For Burton’s always right at hand Good points is he so sure to land. And if-you hear a greatbig noise You'll know it is the Senior boys. There’s one who waves his arms like m Oh, yes, it is our dear old Chad. Our class you could never call slow For Hasty’s with us as you know. ’Tis said that he is very shy. And gossip surely does not lie. Our Letha’s never easily led Because she has a level head; She is the best of all our class. In each subject she doth pass. We have a warbler. Marguerite, And really she is very sweet. And when a coasting she doth go She craws along across the snow. Fair Marion of musical mind Who soon shall leave us all behind; In Denver she shall soon reside And then will be society’s pride. Our Annual editor is Maurice, He never read the Odes of Horace, But in dramatics lie’s a star. Ilis name will soon be known afar. There’s Russell as Romeo dusky, Who loved Salamanaca husky. He plays his part just fine we know. For the Prof., he told us so. It’s been a great battle. For we have tried with all our might. Since none of us have played the fool A grand success we’ve made of school. Senior Class Calendar Senior Class Play: “Kicked Out of College.” April 7 and 9. Orpheum Theater.

Thompson Junior Class IRENE HEROLD. THREE years ago we entered High school as Freshmen. Our class was composed of about twenty timid “Greenhorns.” Of course we were not really Greenhorns. we were far too smart for that, but that is the name that the Seniors gave us. Throughout the year we were tormented unmerci- fully by the upperclassmen, especially at the Seniors' sunset supper. They blacked our faces and did all kinds of cruel things until no one who saw us that evening would have thought we were the same smart bunch; and we didn’t look as though we would ever be dignified. However our first year of agony passed and in September, 1915, we returned, less in number perhaps, but nearer to the dignity of the Seniors whom we so admired in our “infancy,” for had not Mr. Baker promised to “reserve seats for some of those dignified Sophomores?” We elected Mary Van Cleave and Wesley Poulson as. president and secretary. We entertained the rest of the school at a Christmas party. The tortures of our school life were continued this year in the form of Caesar, and I verily believe that Great Caesar’s ghost will haunt us forever. Another year lias passed and we are again back in the school room. Our officers for our Junior year are Wesley Poulson and Marjory Scoville, pres- ident and secretary. Our colors are blue and white, the same as those of the two preceding years. Our entertainment this year was given on Hallowe'en, and was a masquerade party. One evening in the early part of the year a party of upperclassmen, well represented by our class, thought they would try their skill at painting. Their well-meant efforts were directed chiefly at the Freshmen, who did not seem to appreciate their art. However there was no doubt as to the color of the Freshmen in the minds of those who saw the residts, for the artists had used green paint. Thus have we passed three happy years of our school life and perhaps next year the Freshmen may have the privilege of looking at us with wide- opened mouths as we viewed the Seniors when we were Freshmen. For, verilv. verily, I say unto you that they will be a soft looking bunch.

IN THE summer of nineteen hundred and fifteen the present Sophomore class, then verdant Freshmen, entered the school house in groups of threes and fours, prepared to begin a new era of their school life. They were under the guidance of Superintendent Thompson, Principal Baker, and the lady teachers. Miss Sutphen, Miss Clark, Miss Wimmer and Miss Roberts. At the first class meeting Gladys Remington was elected president and Stella Troglcr secretary and treasurer. At the next meeting cherry and black were selected for the class colors. Very few of the Freshmen were initiated because of their large majority. The Freshmen on the girls’ basket ball team were Alma P aer and Frankie Burgess. Those who were members of the boys’ basket ball team were Ross Carpenter and Elmer Combs. 'File social events of the year in which the Freshmen took part were the Seniors’ sunset supper, the Hallowe’en party given by the Juniors, a party given by the Freshmen themselves in honor of the Juniors, and a Christmas party given by the Sophomores. Then the Freshmen became bored with so little excitement and held a festivity in honor of the “Freshman” class at the home of Alma Baer. It seemed to arouse the curiosity of the upper classmen as to the refreshments because they were present outside the windows. James Guthrie showed such a desire for candy that lie was given some which contained red pepper. In September, nineteen hundred and sixteen, the past Freshmen, now learned Sophomores, started out upon their second year of High school, with Mr. Thompson as superintendent, Mr. Baker as principal, and the lady teachers. Miss Clark, Miss Stukey, Miss Keller, Miss Wimmer and Miss Roberts. At the first class meeting George Mann was elected president and Wilma Fisher secretary and treasurer. But George Mann soon left school and Elmer Combs was made president. The Sophomores in the Girls’ basket ball team for this year were Alma Baer, Frankie Burgess, Violet Scoville and Gladys Remington. Those who were in the boys’ team were Elmer Combs, Ross Carpenter and Jesse Mulkey. The Sophomore boys on the foot ball team were Elmer Combs, Brackney Harris and Ross Carpenter. John Burroughs was substitute. The Sophomores gave an old-fashioned Christmas party this year. They also helped to enjoy the refreshments intended for a Senior class party and also a Freshman ski party.

ON THE opening day of school there were seen wandering through the halls a great number of hoys and girls who had a decidedly “green'' look. When they were collected they formed the largest Freshman class the Steamboat Springs school had ever had. numbering thirty-two. These Freshmen, being very observant, soon noticed that all the other classes were organized, so they held a meeting for the purpose of organizing. The officers chosen are as follows : President—Lloyd Williams. Vice-President—Mary Insley. Secretary—Ralph Mann. Treasurer—Willard Fisher. Wesley Herrmann moved that he be appointed sergeant-at-arms, but no one seconded the motion. The columbine was chosen class flower and its colors, lavender and white, were chosen class colors. 'fhe first party which the Freshmen gave was held in honor of the Juniors. The entire High School was invited. The party was held in the first grade room, which was decorated with blue and white, the Junior class colors. The evening was spent playing games and dancing. Elaborate refreshments were served. Everyone who attended enjoyed the evening thoroughly. In February the Freshmen treated themselves to an out-door party on Woodchuck mountain. Skiing formed the chief amusement. Refreshments were served at Merrill's, which everyone enjoyed (ask the Sophomores.) At the Carnival the Freshmen boys took an active part in all the contests. Several of the boys distinguished themselves, among whom were Ralph Mann, Willard Fisher, Paul Trinder, Lloyd Williams and Marcellus Merrill. BASKET BALL TEAM Left to right—Elmer Combs, center; Maurice Leckenby, guard; Ross Carpenter, guard; Wesley Poulson, captain, loi- ward; Burton Allin, forward. Basket ?BaU THE first basket Hall game of the 1915-16 season was with the Oak Creek Heralds, in which the locals met their defeat by the score of 13-12. The boys were defeated but twice during the year. The Steamboat boys played a good game, it being the first time they had all played together, and for most of the boys their first basket ball game. Steamboat won its first victory when the Hayden High school bit the dust to the tune of 18-14. This was a hard-fought battle, but Steamboat's team work conquered. The home boys did not show their former wildness, and they knew where to put the ball when they got hold of it. Steamboat’s next victory was the humiliating of Oak Creek High school and the score 31-13 destroyed Oak Creek's sprouting ambitions. This was a fast game. Connie Mack’s $100,000 combinations looked like so many cents when the Carpenter-to-Combs-to-Halbert-to-Allin-to-Poulson combination got started. The next games were during the Ski Carnival and were the first games played at home. The Hayden basket ball contingent met their second defeat at the hands cf the locals by a score of 28 to 5. Steamboat had per- fect team work and played circles around their larger opponents. The next night Kremmling Union High school came to the fray. These boys looked as strong as onions, but the noise that made them weep was 78 to 8. The Kremmlingites would be more at home in a trench than chasing along behind the Steamboat machine gun company. The next few words come exceedingly hard, but. the doctor says take it. Yampa High school jumped on Steamboat unawares in a small place about the size of a postoffice box and the outcome--------(the dashes stand for tears) was 18-11. This was Steamboat’s only defeat at the hands oLa High school team. The Red and White ended the season by defeating the Town team, who were all experienced players by a score of 30 to 19. 1916-1917 The loss of William Halbert crippled Steamboat for the 1916-17 melee and there was no material to take his place, as Edwin VanCleave, last year's substitute, and who had great promise for this season, also left. These are sad words, but true. We might have had a winning team. Kremmling was defeated 39 to 19. And it was thought that S. H. S. had a world-beating team. Hence, on January 2 they left for a different clime, and after a hundred-mile jaunt, they tasted bitter defeat to the sad little ditty entitled 51-13. This defeat was attributed to the trip, to the altitude, to the condition of the moon, to the war in Europe, and to several other things of minor importance. But the fact of the matter is the boys were simply outclassed. The next day will go down in history with Waterloo, Manila Bay and the battle of Bull Run. The slaughter was terrific, for Glenwood Springs defeated Steamboat by a score of 111 to 8. Then a great light dawned on the players. The next day they turned their footsteps wearily homeward and were seen to wait until after dark to walk up Lincoln avenue. The boys were too easily discouraged, for they had played the two best teams on the Western slope, and Glenwood gave the champions of the state a hard run for their money. The trip was a success, though a failure, for it gave the boys a sight of the outside world. It taught them valuable lessons in basket ball playing, and also in taking defeat cheerfully. All the towns passed through had first- class gymnasiums and a good opportunity to practice. In Glenwood enough men were out for the game to make five squads, while Steamboat had six men out and no one to practice with. Steamboat should have a gymnasium next year. TRACK TEAM Top row, left to right—Mr. Thompson, Charles Staley, Clarence Hasty, Walter Hale, Brackney Harris, Lloyd Wil- liams, Paul Trinder, Russell Oh man, William Fisher. Bottom row—Maurice Leekenby, Elmer Combs, Burton Allin, Wesley Poulson. ®ratfe jHeet Track Meet, 1916, Yampa Valley, Held at Craig. THE snow went off early in the spring of 1916, thus giving the Steam- boat boys more time than usual to train. At the first try-out in April it was apparent that the team was all of new material. Most of them started and sprinted with about as much ease and grace as an old “side- wheeler.” However the “embryo” track team came out daily for practice, and since none of them made any pretense of having complete knowledge of track work, their skulls were not absolutely impervious to receiving informa- tion. A few ideas eventually “soaked in.” At last the day for the track meet arrived. The morning was taken up by the preliminary events, Burton llin and Wesley Poulson showing up first class in the sprints and hurdles. Steamboat’s hopes were high the early part of the afternoon as we had a good chance to win the sprints, along with some of the other events. The after- noon, however, had some surprises for us, both in the way of good luck and bad. Some of us had a sneaking suspicion that our favorite sprinter, Burton Allin, might possibly beat the famous Charley White of Craig. Also that our clever broad jumper, Wesley Poulson, had. of course, that event tucked away safely under his arm. In these two events though we were doomed to disappointment. White failed to stub his toe in the sprints,and also his final jump in the broad jump was a distance of 18 feet 9 inches, two feet more than his previous jumps. Poulson's jump was 18 feet 8 inches, thus losing by one inch. Another little surprise was due to the fact that in all previous meets the hurdles had been 2)A and 3JA feet, but the officials at Craig had decided to make them 2% and 3 feet, low and high hurdles respec- tively. In spite of the fact that this would change one’s stride. Allin took third place in the high hurdles, and Poulson second in the low hurdles. All of the other surprises rather happened in our favor. In practice Ed. VanCleave had vaulted as high as 9 feet, but we supposed that the famous Craig and Meeker vaulters would reach 10 feet, at least. Those would-be famous vaulters began by. having the cross-bar raised 6 inches after each vault. Mr. Thompson and Lefty” Flynn asked Ed. to protest it. but he had unlimited nerve and said that he could make it if they could. When they reached 8 feet all the valuters but Eel. began to have difficulty and felt like resting. He left Moore of Yampa, his nearest competitor, at 8 feet 0 inches, and went on up to 8 feet 9 inches just for the fun .there was in it. The real surprise of the afternoon came, however, in the high jump Allin, whose height is exactly 5 feet 7 inches, cleared the bar at the same height. His body must have had the elasticity and pliability of a steel-spring- whip-cord combination to wiggle over the bar at such a height. Revenge was sweet also, as Charles White took third place. Burton Allin took first place in the high jump, and second in the 100 and 220-yard dashes. In fact, in the dashes he was so close to White that White was afraid and turned around to look at him. It is a wonder that he didn’t fall and give Allin the race. Allin was third individual point winner at the meet, having 8 points. Combs took second in the javelin throw. An official javelin was not ordered for practice as they are very dangerous and also easily broken. “Where there’s a will there’s a way,” so Combs made one in the manual training room and practiced faithfully. The team this year had high hopes, but it looks as though the snow would not go off until May i. Meeker and Craig are able to begin practice April 1, for they have less snow. As yet we have not found a pole vaulter to take VanCleave’s place, who left the Steamboat High for Boulder prep, school. FOOT BALL TEAM Top row, left to right—Mr. Thompson, Clarence Hasty, Maurice Leckenby, Elmer Combs, Orin Marvin, Brackney Harris, Lloyd Williams, John Burroughs. Bottom row—Ross Carpenter, Burton Allin, Russell Ohman, Wesley Poulson, Paul Trinder. Jfoot Pall THE foot ball prospects looked very dim the first of the year as we could get no response from Craig, after challenging them to a game Basket ball practice was begun and humming, when an answer came wanting to play foot ball in three weeks. Practice was begun in earnest with only twelve men out, four of whom had played before. But these twelve practiced hard and patiently and in three weeks were ready for gore. Saturday, October 21, we motored to Craig and in several inches of the best kind of alkali mud played a 0-0 game. Both sides were handicapped by the heavy field and the ball waged back and forth down the gridiron. At times the ball was within several yards from the goal posts but neither side could push the pigskin over. We were gratified to think we had come out so well as we had less time to practice than they and many were the conjectures of what would happen to Craig on the following Saturday on our home grounds. But the best laid plans of mice and men—you know how it happens—the score was 12-0, and Craig was on the long end of the stick. They had a sweet little tackle back shift that was as effective as a big Bertha and before we could get our artil- lery in action they had registered two touchdowns. After our well-laid plans for their complete annihilation, our hats didn’t fit near so tight. The game started off like a Ilindenburg advance through the Russians. Steamboat carried the ball in three plays to Craig’s five-yard line and then fumbled. This little incident made Steamboat feel about as happy as a hen in a blizzard. We will always think that we might have beaten them. But anyway Steamboat was the next best team in the conference. Sidney Whetstone played full back and covered himself with glory, as well as Craig alkali. Wesley Poulson and Ross Carpenter were the best pair of half backs that ever performed in the Yampa valle)'. They had speed and nerve and were right on the end runs, plunging and glomming forward passes. Burton Allin was captain and quarterback, lie was a satellite of the first water. Mis generalship was good and he was some ground gainer himself, lie did the kicking for the team and unwound several 50 and 60-yard punts. Arthur Semotan was left end and the gains made in his territory were few and far between. Elmer Combs played left tackle and “Stonewall” Jackson was backed off the map by this husky Irishman. Orin Marvin from the eighth grade was left guard. When he hit an Alkalier they would want to know how he did it. Russell Ohman was center, and being a veteran at the game, passed the ball right to the spot. Lloyd Williams was right guard and he was a dandy. Talk about immov- able objects, Lloyd was right there. “Red” Harris at right tackle stopped everything he could reach. He may easily be compared to a British tank when it comes plowing through the opposition. “Shike” Leckenby at right end tried hard enough but was lacking in “beef,” brawn and speed. John Burroughs was substitute and he may be complimented on trying so hard. The substitutes often have the hardest time. Mr. Thompson was coach and he worked hard and tirelessly to make the season a success. GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TEAM Top—Marion Leckenby. Middle row, left to right—Norma Fisher, Florence Wren, Frances Mann. Bottom row, left to right—Frankie Burgess, Alma Baer, Marjorie Scoville. (Siris’ JSasfeet Pali FOR the first time in the annals of basket ball at the Steamboat Springs High school did the Steamboat quintet carry off the undisputed cham- pionship honors of Yampa valley. Such was the brilliant record of Capt. Norma Fisher’s basket ball squad last winter under the efficient coaching of Prof. George O. Thompson. The season was in every respect the most sat- isfactory experienced here. The Durbin building was secured, which gave the team a splendid chance for practice. For the first time the students of the High school got behind the team and pulled for its victory. The crowds were large, while, for enthusiasm, even the most exciting ski jumping contest could hardly have equaled the rooting and yelling at the spectacular basket ball contests this winter. The team lost two games, but the steady coaching of Professor I hompson and the hard work of the girls soon told on their play. Oak Creek, Yampa. Kremmling, all fell victims to the team work and accurate shooting of the Steamboat girls. Much credit for the success of the season belongs to Pro- fessor Thompson, the coach, whose splendid work got the team on its feet and started it off on its victorious career. A terror on carrying the ball down the field Capt. Norma Fisher was the star of the field, her spectacular basket shooting never being equaled here. Marjorie Scoville made a splendid guard. Although the smallest one on the team she. by her quick movements, seized the ball from her opponents before they could find their own team. Alma Baer at guard played a strong, heady game all season, always keeping her opponent covered, and was one of the strongest members of the squad on team work. Marion Leckenby played a strong game at center, scoring many of the points for the Crimson and White. Frances Mann was the best basket shooter on the team, having more points to her credit than anv other member of the team. This was done under a handicap, as her fame was so great that she was closer watched than any other member of the team. At Yampa the rooters would yell: “Look out for Curley.” They knew when she got the ball two. more points would be added to the score. Frankie Burgess and Florence Wren substituted very satisfactorily in several of the hardest games. One game was played this season with Kremmling. with a few changes in the line-up. Frances Mann w'as elected captain of the team. Violet Sco- ville played left forward. Alma Baer center. Marjorie Scoville still played right guard, and Frankie Burgess left guard. Carrie Shore and Gladys Rem- ington were substitutes. The game was fast, but the Crimson and White again came off victorious. Winter Sports on Western ££ lopc KIING was introduced into Steamboat Springs four years ago by an expert jumper by the name of Carl Howelsen. Before he came we thought nothing of the sport of ski jumping. We would ride some of the hills and never dreamed of flying in the air like Mr. Howelsen. When we heard of his coming there were a few small practice jumps made. The carnival last year was held on February 16th, 17th and 18th. This was the best carnival we had had up to that date. The events last year were as follows: The professional jump in which Ragnar Omtvedt took first prize: Carl Howelsen, second, and Lars Haugen, third. After this event was over Omtvedt' again went up the hill, making in this jump 192 feet 9 inches. That record was not broken until this year when Henry Hall jumped 203 feet. The next was the Rocky Mountain Amateur jump. Fred. Throckmorton of Hot Sulphur Springs won first prize, Hollis Merrill second, and John Thompson of Hot Sulphur Springs third. • .Next was the jump for boys 15. years old and under. Edward Trinder was winner of first prize, Hollis Merrill second, and Nathan Shore third. The carnival this year was held on March 1st and 2d. It was the best and most successful ever held here. The first event was a cross-country race of six miles in yvhich Harper Forgey won first prize; Charley Forgey second and Guy Truman third. The girls’ ski race was next, in which Sadie Reister won first place, and Adrian Zick second. Then the boys’ ski race, in which esley Herrmann won first place, Hollis Merrill second, and Willie Throckmorton of Hot Sulphur Springs third. Next was a free-for-all ski race in which Lloyd Williams won first place and Walter Hale second. Next was a relay ski race which was won by the Foresters’ team, consisting of Ray Peck, Lynn Richie, Sr.. George Moorehead and James Noyce. In the afternoon was the jump for boys under 16 years of age, in which Edward Trinder won first place, with 206 points: Ralph Mann second, with 195 points, and Hollis Merrill third, with 159 points. The longest standing jump was made by Edward Trinder, which was 95 feet Next came the jump for boys over 16 years of age in which Orin Marvin won first place with 196 points, Marcellus Merrill won second, with 156 points, and Paul Trinder third, with 138 points. The longest standing jump was made by Orin Marvin, which was 84 feet. The next event was a jump for the small boys in which Walter Zick won first prize with 156 points, Jesse Poulson second, with 129 points, and Murphy Combs third, with 101 points. The longest standing jump was made by Walter Zick, which was 67 feet. The next was the Rocky Mountain Amateur jump in which Edward Trinder won first prize with 237 points, Orin Marvin second with 211 points, and Fred. Throckmorton of Hot Sulphur Springs third with 211 points. Marvin and Throckmorton tied on points and again went up the hill. Marvin jumping 105 feet and Throckmorton 132 feet, but on account of his falling, Marvin was awarded second prize. The longest standing jump was made by Edward Trinder, which was 106 feet. The last and greatest event of the carnival was the professional jump in which Anders Haugen was the winner of first prize, with 385 points, and Henry Flail second, with 385 points, but on account of a tie between Anders Plaugen and Henry Flail for first prize, they again tried the hill, Anders Haugen jumping 190 feet and Henry Flail 203 feet, but on account of Henry Hall falling Anders Haugen was awarded first prize and Henry Hall second. Ragnar Omtvedt was winner of third prize, with 356 points. Then they climbed the hill again for the jump for the world’s cham- pionship. The longest standing jump was made by Henry Hall, which was 203 feet. This is now the world’s record.
