SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES We are almost ready to take upon our shoulders the manifold duties of upper classmen. For two years we have studied in S. S. H. S., and we look back and wonder if we are to judge the future by the past. If so, we believe that the class of ‘25 will not soon be forgotten in S. S. H. S., but we also hope our past experiences will enable us to do much better in the future. When we first came here we were rather timid, we admit, but it wasn’t long before we got over it. The class of ’24 initiated us by applying artistic combinations of green and brown paint upon our faces. After this we met and organized, electing John Patton president, Fred Fick vice president, and Dalcye Thompson secretary and treasurer. Several Freshmen shared the task of writing notes for the Whistle. Miss Miles was elected sponsor. We gave our first party a short time before Christmas, and, in spite of our inexperience, it was a success, mostly owing to the ability of our spon- sor. As Sophomores we felt so dignified we didn’t even condescend to notice the Freshmen for some time. At last, however, we painted their faces and our fingers at the same time, only to discover that the Faculty disapproved of the event and proceeded to take the Freshmen in a body to the lab, where they removed the traces of their initiation. Our first duty as Sophomores accomplished, we held a class meeting and reelected Miss Miles spon- sor and John Patton president, Dewey Edmondson vice president, Williard Smith secretary and treas- urer and Mariam Metcalf reporter for the Whistle. Later Mariam went tc Denver and Tommie Hix was appointed to fill her place. The Sophomore party, given during the Thanks-

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL ’23 and “Boys’ A. A.,’’ Myrna Davis. Miss Scales spoke concerning “Our Schools,” Mr. Allin, “Our Educa- tion;” Mr. Thompson, “Our Advancement,” and Dr. Willett gave an excellent talk upon athletics. Clever black crescent-shaped programs marked with a gold S. S. H. S. had already been distributed among the guests, and dinner being finished every- one was presented with a rose as a favor and ad- journed into the next room. Here they found many of their friends already assembled and soon the or- chestra struck up a lively number. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. One special feature was several “moon light” dances heartily enjoyed by the merry-makers. --------S-------- OUR SCHOOL MATE On the afternoon of January 19th, just as school was out, the boys and girls of Steamboat High were shocked to hear of the death of Anna Barbara Long, one of the Junior girls. Anna was always active in school and ready to help in any way. She will be missed not only by the Junior class, but by the entire school. Her lessons are over, her tasks all are done, And closed are her books, to be opened no more; One place now is vacant, one sweet face is gone, Yet, in memory we see that bright smile of yore. With a sigh and a tear, we bade her good-bye, Though the love in our hearts, we know ne’er shall cease. To the roll-call she’s answered, in Heaven on high, Where joy-bells are ringing of gladness and peace. —E. C. ’23. --------S-------- Mrs. Follett—Lela, are you entertaining Web- ster? Lela—No, just talking. Taking it on High Saling, Sailing JOLLY JUNIOR’S JUBILEE “The spookiest time of all the year It's Hallowe’en when you have much fear With much pleasure and delight On November 4th, we you invite To attend the best party of all the year. At the hour of eight be sure to appear. So sang the Juniors. And they proceeded to make their party as unique and entertaining as pos- sible by decorating the gym with gay streamers and brilliant lanterns. The spookiest” spooks imagin- able prowled about in the halls and dark corners, lending a truly Hallowe’en-like atmosphere to the occasion. Good music was provided and the evening was spent in dancing. All heartily enjoyed the appropriate refresh- ments, consisting of pumpkin pie and hot coffee. (The punch served later in the hall was decidedly refreshing.) Altogether the class of ’24 certainly kept up their reputation as entertainers. WELL CHOSEN In Egypt lived a god of yore, Who tv the sacred onion swore. He chose the proper garden growth— We think h? swore a good strong oath. ---------------S-------- Miss Miles—We borrowed 0”r numerals from the Arabs, o”r calendar from the Romans. Can anyone t’unV of any other examples? Bill Wright—Our lawn mower from the Smiths, and our baby carriage from the Joneses. Mr. Thomoson (in Commercial Law — Tames, if Jule said that yo owed him $5.00 and you de- nied him a d he said he would lick you, what would you do? James—I’d pay him.
