I KY EvinSB0K'9 purchase the banner which was to represent this victory. A committee was selected to do the purchasing, and the rest of us proceeded to forget about it. Then came the hnish of the season, from which Denver arrived victo1'i- ous. The faculty gave us a vacation for the great .lubilee.,' which was held at the Denham Theatre on December 4th. XVhen we were all assembled in the Denham and after part of the ceremony was over, some of us began to worry. Had the banner been purchased, or had the committee forgotten about it? Had it arrived? lf so, where was it? XVe had never seen it. Then when the time came for the presentation, we saw Otto Moore, our President. come on to the stage. XYe saw a bundle of red and gold in his hands, and were greatly relieved, for this was the banner. T-le made a short speech and presented the banner to the school. Afterwards the team lined up on California street across from the Denham and had their pictures taken, with this banner displayed in front of them. The position in which the banner was to be placed in the Gym had been picked out for a long time, the highest point on the north side of the building. The old l908 banner has always been the onewhich has been pointed to with so much pride. Now we have another one, only we think a great deal more of it, because we know all about this team and this banner, while the 1908 team and banner were before our time. The Class of 1920 was well represented in the championship football team. Of the first string men we had Lowstutter, Banks and Andrews: and XValker, Hosmer and Flint, although not playing regularly on the nrst team, saw service in nearly all the games and got their letters. Sites, Fouse and Smith were regularly out for practice. On the basketball team the class was represented by Robb. Liggett. Smith and Russell. The Sophomore Party came off on the night of December 20th, at the Gy1n. Although the committee worked hard, there was not a very large crowd, partly on account of several other social events at the same time and partly because it was so soon before Christmas. But the Hfty or thereabouts, members of the class who were there, made up for what they lacked in num- bers by the good time they had. The first part of the evening was given over to games of different kinds. Since this was a hard times party, there was opportunity for many kinds of games not otherwise possible. Later in the evening the members had a chance to show their ability in giving different stunts upon the stage. Much rare genius showed itself dur- ing the evening. Probably the less said about it, the better the writer will feel in the future. Ralph Chase showed marked ability as a Salvation Army leader. I-le is probably contemplating taking it up as a life work. One of the most unique stunts of the evening was a short comedy without words. Earl Graves played a role natural to him in real life. It finally ended by Earlis marrying one of the fair ladies of the cast. Bill Smith, as the minis- ter, was the most distinguished character on the stage. He certainly has missed his calling. After the entertainment on the stage was over, our attention was called to the refreshments. They certainly were good, and the nice part about it was there were more refreshments than could be eaten! Since it was a hard times party, cider, doughnuts and pumpkin pies were in order. These cere- monies over, we were finally forced to go home. XVe all had a fine time, and were sorry to leave so soon. Dr. and Mrs. Engle and Dr. and Mrs. Dickinson were guests. Page Tuacnfy-mic
