For better efficiency six foremen head our divisions.: Cleo Ross for Riley's Rowdiesg John Moore, Hocking's Hicks, Leonard Felix, Bayliss' Lisps, Marvin Baker, Tommies Tigers, Harold Miller, Scottish Brigade, Reece Ragland, Red Hot Henry 's. ' In order to start the season in the proper manner, all the divisions of the Guides together with the Owner and Overseers took time off for a frontier cele- bration at Rocky Mountain Lake. At this time roping, branding, bronco bust- ing and a barbecue filled the hours. The most skilled contestants bore the brand 210 and were called Riley's Rowdiesn. At the close of this festivity we galloped back to the ranch to start a year of hard work. At present We are near the close of that year, awaiting the laurels that are sure to come as a reward for honest effort. We still look back at our gala nights, our HalloWe'en Party, the time we celebrated the patron saint of love-St. Valentine, the big show, and the fancy dress parade and dance. As a memento of all our Work and fun we are compiling this book so that in future years we may be able to recall with fondness all the old Guides who labored with us through the cacti of report cards and sagebrush of honors, over streams of knowledge and boulders of zeroes, up the steep mountain side of study, and through the tall pines of friendship.

I x 1 ARTHUR BUFF November 9, 1908 December 8, 1924 At the opening of the football season in 1924, when the present championship team first began to practice, Arthur Buff was one of the best-liked members on the field. But the goal they set out to reach was not the one for him, his was one of a brighter, higher, more glorious attainment: he found that golden key That ope's the palace of eternity. 1121

L44 1 it l du rl- ii me usrsilli ,. 1 A SOME of our outstanding Guides, I3ayliss Lisps were branded ZZ05 and were drawn up under the leadership 0-t' Leonard Felix. Captain Len Felix, the greatest lisp. was a. tall, thin youth of athletic prowess. Ile was not very t'ond of the group because his heart belongs to the class of '26. ln striking contrast to Leonard was Lee Cummins, the smallest of the group. Ile received an honorary degree t'ron1 the tower of llabel. Among the list was a laughing little goldenahaired girl who was always Gay, Gay, Gay. You could hear, a block off, Edward Grant clogging as he served ice cream to the hungry multitude. Ronald Stahl kept everyone guessing as to whether he was one of the group or not. Why was he absent. so often? A prancing maiden, Gertrude Peter, ran like the mischief with potatoes, ller strength lay, like Sanipsons, in her hair. Raymond Gitiord, our much married man. drove everyone crazy selling tickets for the Denham. lie loves Greene of the mistletoe. Another lisping childish youth was Warren llameron, our Latin star. He had a mania for stealing girls' pocket books. Sebbe Anderson, our drun1 major, was greatly attached to the sophomore class. lle spent his nights at the Roseland. Our ski champion, Josephine Robinson, was the queen of the prom . If this group could not win the loving cup, it can boast of possessing the most attractive girl. Kerwin Crook, our modern Ben Hur with his chariot, could have been taken for a toreador because of l1is loud sweater. Leonard Giacomozzi never could keep a girl long, since he always gave her the note intended for another glrlg neverthe- less his joviality made us all like l1im. l14l Evelyn Johnson, brains! b r a i n s ! brains! silence! silence! silence! We sent our delegate to congress a youth who would be a man judging from his sideburns and mustache. lt was Man- ning Arnett. Martin Foery was our eternal question box. Everyone wondered what he did with all his answers. The librarian, Ivy Gale, saw to it that everyone read proper literature. Stately Marie Robinson wore widow's weeds pa1't ot' the year because California was to-o attractive, but she busied her- self in Cliemistry and forgot it all. Kenneth Forcsman, muchly marcelled, was the jester of the group. No one can easily forget his bass voice. Silent and more silent when girls were around was Chester Block: still the girls hung around because they liked him. Whenever Russian dancing was needed, Betty Goldberg could always supply it. She received the blue ribbon for her Cossack steps. Lulu Beasley came from an army camp where she had learned to fish and hunt, but never did she do anything to mar her tappering fingers. Raymond Holman was ever bringing in laurelsg he was recognized as one of the cleanest players of football in the city. Mary Stulz wrote poetry that was poetry. What would the Rodeo have done without her? Do you remember how disappointed Morris Lebowitz was that he couldn't be Romeo?
