M athematio ( mith College) 9 ��3Ju il~moriam iliss (!lora B. ~owprrt~waitr one of the most loved teachers of East Denver, passed away December 3, 1916. Although she had been ill for some time, the news of her death came as a decided shock to the whole school. Miss Cowperthwaite was well known in Denver, as she began teaching here in 1886. She taught at various grammar schools and high schools, and spent the last few years at East Denver. Her subjects were French and German, which she had studied during her six years abroad. She attended Wellesley College, and had a degree from the University of hicago. The faculty and pupils of the school miss Miss Cowperthwaite and her influence very much. She will long be remembered for her loving services to East Denver, and although she has passed on, her work is still living and will bear fruit in after years.

Everyone was in the holiday spirit, as it was only two days after Christmas, and the unusual amount of "pep" and real spirit our class has was shown again. The dance was held at El ] ebel Temple, which was decorated with the school and class colors. The programs were brown leather with gold cords, and the music ?-well, that was the best in town. Altogether the affair was so successful that it added more than one hundred dollars to the class treasury.

This year's football team was composed, in large part, of Juniors, as six of the class of '1 8 made their monograms. The main lay of next year' basketball team will be three Juniors, who di tinguished themselve~ this year. The baseball team is practically all Juniors, while many of the track tars will be back again next year. Lest we forget, the Junior g1rls, in every way, have added "pep" to the class and have been behind all of our activitie .

That was in 191 4. ince that time we have developed into the best class that ever entered East Denver. While we were Freshmen we learned many things, chief of which was our own ignorance and unimportance. In the interval between eptember, 1914, and eptember, 1915, we grew admirably, both mentally and physically, and, as became our station, we were treated with much more re pect than formerly.

The place is the breakfast table. Father is at the head, mother at the foot, behind the coffee pot; the two boys and unt Bernice on either side, and one empty chair. "Oh, you neYer will see my point of 'iew about that," daughte1 sighs. ay, is, you've got too much powder on the side of your nose," little brother puts in aggravatingly. Daughter dobs at the offending feature with her handkerchief. "I think that you have a little too much on your chin, too, dear," mother objects. "I do di like to see young girls w1th their faces all covered with powder." ha ty step is heard in the hall, and daughter enters and slips unobtru i\ely into her chair. "You're a little late for breakfast, dear," ays her mother reprovingly. Daughter sighs, but says nothing. he has learned that silence is the be t policy in treating that question. "What have you done to your hair, child?" asks father curiously. "Ye , mother, I know; I'm orry, but it took me longer lo dress than usual." This from the daughter as she unfolds her napkin. "Huh, I don't see why it should take you so long to dress; you haven't got enough on lo keep you warm," scoffs big brother, between bites. " he got that peeled onion effect from the movie she saw last night, didn't you, i ?" inquires little brother. "I think Tom i quite right, Margaret," ays Aunt Bernice critically. "Your throat i positively blue with cold." "I alway have liked the way your mother used to do her hair. he might show you how she fixed it," ugge ts father mildly. "I've got a bird' -eye view of little sister with her pair parted in the middle," big brother mutters quite audibly. Daughter pushe back her chair and rises, flushed and angry. "I wish I could shave all my hair off and wear a mattress," she erie desperately, "then, perhap , you all would be satisfied!" and she runs out into the hall. "Oh, nonsen e, unt Bernice. I'm not the least bit cold," a erts daughter. "How do you like my waist, mother, on me, I mean?" she ask . "Very much; that shade of yellow always was becoming to But don't you think it's too low in the neck?" "But, mother," daughter protests, "it's got to be as low as this.

"I thought you were going to speak to her about the length of that skirt." "That's ju t the point, Margaret," mother and Aunt Bernice cry in choru . "Why don't you be original in the way you dress?" As the voices reach her, daughter gives her hal pin a vicious jab, and runs to catch her car. "I houldn't think you'd want to look like everybody else," mother adds.

We were immediately ordered to meet ommander in- hicf Remington, who warned us of the coming struggle and of its many pitfalls. He advi~ed us not to engage too fiercely at ~rst in the combat, but to save our trength for times of cri•is in the war. We, as a matter of fact, had to undertake a campaign against an army which had a German left wing, a Latin right, an advance guard of Algebra, and an aeroplane corps of English. For the econd encounter we were transferred to the main battlefield, where we registered as ophomore re-enforcements. H ere we wc::re placed under generals who were ~evere, but very tolerant of our mistakes. We waged many battles with Composition and R hetoric, and Geometry hili was well fortified with originals and corollaries, so that we suffered many a defeat (with a capital D ) before the conflict ceased.

H ou TO . 73 ��1918 When Ea t Denver opened her door last eptember for the clas of 1920 to enter, she experienced a shock. The halls and room were flooded with a radiance which bade fair to rival the sun, which was shining brilliantly outside. Whence came this glory? It was issuing from her Freshmen (more commonly referred to as scrub ) . Each youthful face was glowing with expectation and uppres ed wisdom. They fairly knocked each other down in their efforts to get in and get everythiPg arranged. orne ran around the third floor in a vain attempt to find room 210 and then appealed to some self-satisfied Sophomore, who told them that perhaps, 1f they lool{ed on the second floor they would see the number two hundred and ten emblazoned over the door. Other circled around the ba ement trying to find the reference library in the girl ' lunch room and received a cold "Look in I 09" in answer to their . 0. They finally did settle down to really honest, hard work. They've kept at it, too. If one of tho e brilliant Junior would take a peep at some of the Fre hmen cards, he'd discover that they had made as many "A's" for one quarter's work as he had acquired for his entire Freshman year. Perhaps then he'd feel a little respect for those scrubs. The.?' intend to keep on work- ing for the entire four years, too, until they have won all the scholarships and anything else that can be won. The school board may even have to invent something new for them to tackle. Thelma Kauffman has received honorable mention in the Wolcott contest. he would have won it, too, if Lydia Begole had only been a little les brilliant in such things. At the partie given this year by the Welfare Committee some of the Freshmen danced so splendidly that they brought blushes of shame to the upper classmen and made them turn green with envy. Of course I'll admit that they haven't many tiny little "babe in arm " like Tom Freeman, or Merwm Mitterwallner, but they have several large huskie who really ought to have been allowed to play football this year. They can play in a year or two, though, and you ju t watch East Denver's football team in 1920 get the championship again. he'll win every game he plays in football, then, a well a in basketball and ba eball.

Was old when even "Remy" was a boy. Latin school. the ancient and honorable, was erected with the first coming of the white man; and the memory of the oldest graduate of the E. D. H. S. runneth not to the contrary. We, the scholars, may be Fresh, but our honorable school has tradition and dust, memories and rickety stairs, history and wornout steps, as no other school in all Denver has. The little old lamp of learning, erected in the dark ages, still burns under the eaves-a rather solid flame, to be sure, but the spirit of the old place is there and the spirits of departed teachers and innumerable pupils seem to sigh through the cracks when the wind blows, and drift about us in the dust raised by many feet. The creaking stairs, the loose floor boards, the worn steps, all speak of other times, while the roar of the auto, the smell of gasoline and oil, seem an insult to this old place of learning. o if we seem a little crude, If some of us are somewhat rude, If we're not strictly up to date, And cannot always strike the gait You older pupils do; Just consider wher:ce we come, That for us it's going some To even get our pictures took And have them printed in a book Along with such as you.

The Annual Board would like to suggest that another year some plan might be thought of which would make it unnecessary to use the hall in future for opening exercises. Many noted men have poken to u during the four years of our High chool course, and we of the Annual Board want to thank Mr. Barrett in behalf of the school for getting the e gentlemen to peak to us. We have been ver fortunate, as we have heard from men prominent as educators, politicians, individualists, and investigator . These men in a great number of ca es have spoken to students in the Ea t ide High chool only, and it was due to the zeal of Mr. Barrett that we heard them. Their messages have been helpful and inspiring, and let us hope that our principal will continue to have such men speak to t~e students whene.,er there is an opportunity. Each year it has been the custom of the enior Class of East Denver to make a gift to the school. This year we believe the class hould give the school some stage fittings, scenery and any other things which would facilitate the giving of a play. Twice every year it has been the duty of Mr. Pitts to beg, borrow or steal these various stage accessories; and to get them up and in order has been a great task . We advocate such a gift, although the class may have to co-operate with another to procure all the necessary equipment. The name of the class may not appear on a little bronze plate where everyone may read it, but neverthele s our gift would give enjoyment to the whole school. The call has come for boys to aid in the production of food upplies, and East Denver has not been found lacking. When boys of Ea t Denver are called upon to bear arms for their country, there will be a similar re ponse. That time has not yet come for those who remain in the school.

The lengthening of our working day ten minute has caused quite a disturbance among the pupils of the school. On those who mu t be at work by 3:00 o'clock, or who have to go to the bank, such an arrangement imposes a number of hardships. If we could go back to the old four-minute intermissions it would again be possible to close at 2:35. The difficulty lies in the congestion at the main doors of the two big study halls. If pupils would pass in and out at the right of the door in Room 2 I 0, and u e the main door of I 08 in going out, and the cloak hall door in entering, much of thi confusion would be avoided and o would help us to regain tr e precious ten minutes at the close of chool. 80 �The football season opened the econd week of school with thirty-five men out for the team, including the seven letter menCaptain Mitterwallner, Me utcheon, Lamborn, Ward, Holland, Briggs, and Freeman. There was much rivalry for the other positions, but Reeder, humaker, Allen, and Vickery showed such marked ability that they earned the places on the team. The championship series opened with outh Denver. At the end of the half the score stood 7 to 0 in favor of outh Denver. But in the last half East came back with her old fighting spirit and won the game by a score of 1 3 to 7. The second championship game was with We t. The team went into the game over-confident and allowed West to make two touchdowns before she realized what had haprened. But in ti-e last half East made two touchdowns, but failed to kick goal, leaving the final score 1 3 to 12 . This defeat seemed to be the stimulus that was needed to urge them on to the championship, for the team practiced with a new vim for the next two weeks. Our usual Thanksgiving game resulted in an overwhelming victory for the Angels. From the first, Manual seemed outclas ed, as Ea t made a touchdown in the first five minute of play. In this game Goldie, playmg his first full game, showed up in fine form in the fullba k po ition. The individuals who tarred were Captain Mitterwallner, humaker, Holland, and Goldie. The · orth game, which had been postponed on account of snow, was played on December 9. This was the championship game. East went into the game with odds against her on account of her defeat by West. Both teams were in excellent condition, and each was determined to grab the flag. East opened the game with her steam-roller tactics, and by straight football and line plunges succeeded in making the first touchdown. In the last half the ngel were successful in making another touchdown, winning the game and the championship by a score of I 3 to 7. Much credit for the team's succe s is due to the excellent work of oach Puffer, who was ably as i ted by aptain Mitterwallner. ewton and Fred Brown. pecial mention should be made of Bob ing, who assisted oach Puffer much of the time. aptain Mttter. wallner, Lamborn, and Briggs made places on the All- ity team.

The meet was not held on the date originally set, on account of a bad rain, but was held a few days later, while the track was still soft, so not many records were broken. Individual honor went to John "Zack" Jordan, who gathered a total of eighteen points. Jordan won the 11 0-yard high hurdles, tied for first place in both the pole vault and the 220-yard low hurdles, and got second place in the broad jump and third in the • high jump. Williamson won the half mile race, making a new city record of 2 :06:2. He also won second place in the mile race. Much credit is due to Coach Hi\ll for the way in which he handled the team, and to Manager Kni~el for the way in which he managed the business of the team. Ten men won their letters- Adams, Dunleavy, Briggs, Jordan, Kelty, humaker, Hamilton, Knisel, Williamson and Dean.

Our first game wa with West, in which we lost in the last second of play, but we won our next two games from outh and Manual. When we met West again we came back in our old style, and won the game. This gave us a clear road to the championship. Our last game was with Manual, and we lost. Over-confidence cau ed us to lo e this game. The season clo ed with outh and East tied for second place. A great deal of the success of this year's team is due to our coach, Allen Chamberlain, and Anna Riley, our captain.

By some strange freak of nature, ir Humphrey Silklyle's book still remains unharmed and beloved by all reader of bad literature. It is with the greate t plea ure, therefore, that we, the publishers, submit to the innocent public this wonderful volume of ir Humphrey ilklyle. In a little thatched cottage, way off amid the wild sagebrush of cotland, one day in the year 1871, Robert Redd ideburns came to grace the universe with his immortal presence, aye, undying fame. He was the youngest of a family of thirteen children. His father was a wearer of the frock, and his mother a woman of great genius in the way of cooking and dish-washing. Both of these fond parents devoted their pare time to the instruction of their thirteen children. At the age of nine the potato crop having declared generous dividends to the ideburns, little Robert was sent to the village school to obtain an education worthy of his already budding genius. His only work that he gave to the world at this time was the clever little ditty: "Gurgle, gur le, ltttle brook, 0 How I wonder how you 'II look When you meet the ·:>cean deep, On whose banks graze many 3heep." The rest of this gem has been lost to a sorrowing public. The cause: Little Robert's love for flinging round paper balls, called spitballs in this day and age. Whde attendmg thi mslttullon of learning, our young hero's constitution was lightly weakened owing to the contraction of several disea es, namely, German measles, chicken-pox, mumps, scarlet fever, diphtheria and the like. bout this time his parents took Robert to the country to recuperate. His imagination look Right in the form of a number of airy doggerels, among which are, "Ode to a Blade of Grass" and "The Pebbles That hine in the tream, T ra-la." fter spending one quiet year in thi manner, ideburns returned to the village school. At the age of fourteen, the fact that the potato crop again declared dividends was hailed as a piece of right good luck. Robert Redd ideburns was acknowledged now the brains of the family, and the remaining twelve took a back seat m order that Robert's talent for writing might gel a fair how. The potato crop riche were piled at hi feet that he might derive the benefit therefrom and he did, all right. He became a scholar of the famou Uni\ ersity Empty-head, on the banks of tLe Rhineube. When he wasn't enjoying life he was compiling a volume the title of "' hich was " hoice Ver e." Fortunately, the dormitory in which he stayed was destroyed by lire, and the unlir.ished book with it. ideburns was too discouraged to begin anew, so for two years he gave him elf up to the study of the joys of life. But a sad day descended upon the ideburns fa~ily, like unto an eagle that swoop down upon its prey. Mr. ideburns, Robert's father, while out in the field one day, was kicked by a mule, and, as he had been ailing for everal years, this event only hastened his entrance into the "happy hunting grounds." ideburns ha tened home and took his place as head of a family of thirteen females his mother and twelve sisters. At this period ideburns, in a desperate frame of mind, wrote: "Take me off lo the trenches, nd shoot me through the head, W1th thirteen women on my hands I mtght as well be d~ad ." �the offender. His Royal Temper knew no bounds, and tdebt.rns was exiled to the Island of Saint Elbow for a period of t\•·ent) years. Many and beautiful are the poems sung in sad strains to the accompaniment of the lapping waves. His most noted ones being, "The Bats That Build Their ests Above," and another. written in honor of His Majesty, which ideburns had the presence of m;nd to place in a bottle and fling far out in the sea. Just a.< he had planned, it was discovered and conveyed to the Royal Palace. In a short time Sideburns was allowed to return to his native country. The Queen was dead, His Majesty was very kind to him, and not long after this crowned him poet-laureate, thus showing to the world that no ill-feeling existed between them any longer. Concerning the remaining years of ideburns' life, there is little to be said. He enjoyed it to the highest degree. His Majesty and he were the greatest of pals-they ate, drank and hunted together. On his forty-fifth birthday a great feast was held in his honor. Upon returning home a rainstorm overtook him. He got wet feet, and died the next day with pneumonia. Great was the sorrow of the land, for the country had lost its most brilliant ornament. The poet was given a prominent place in his own home town. His remains were placed under the shade of the one and only tree that the churchyard could boast of. Pilgrimages are yearly made to his tomb, and those who visit it may read the epitaph composed shortly before his death, in Sir Robert Redd Sideburns' own quaint, inimitable style: (Here it would be fitting perhaps to remark that because of a strong resemblance between ideburns' twelve sister and a deceased great-aunt they were as yet quite single.) However, luck, for once, took ideburns by surpnse. During the two following years in which he gave himself up to the care of potatoes, his mother remarried this time a man of some means and six of his sisters charmed six blind and innocent laddies. The wedding bells rang merrily over the Sideburns homesteld. The six remaining spinsters went to dwell with their delighted mamma, who had moved to the city. Thus at the age of twenty-one or thereabouts we find RobPrt Redd Sideburns free to choose his own course. His love for gaiety and city life led him to direct his ambitious footsteps toward the capital. For a year he sold shoe strings on the corner of the busiest thoroughfare. Or.e day fate willed that ideburns should read an "ad" in the Post. His Most Gracious Majesty was in need of a lackey to com·ey tl-:e Royal Chocolate Pot to his bedside each mornmg. Sideburns at once aJ:plied for the job, and, as he had a pleasing countenance, His Majesty favored him. In this atmosphere of pomp and splendor, Sideburns' poctir; soul know no bounds. In less than three months he had compiled three volumes of immortal verse. To his great distress and discomfiture, he one day let fall on tl,e counter-pane, while attending His Majesty, a scrap of paper UJ..IOn which were written the lines: "Here lie my remains, as cold as cold can be. I loved ltfe, but death too soon My spmt caused to Ree. May those who read thts epitaph, httle ptty feel, And put a few buds on my grave, 1\s by my stde they kneel."

His little sister Ellen, who had fir t slyly found out that a Alg was a large red and yellow ign with the words " carlet Fever" on it, lorded it over Billy for days, screeching just outside his door (before he had become so very sick), that "he didn't even know what a Rag was- didn't even know what a Rag was," until he would willingly have given five years of his life to pound Ellen until she could screech no more! Then the Doctor came with his nurse, ard that nune, poor soul! had been Billy's refuge. On her he had taken out all his fretfulness when so very sick, his cr:mkine s wre'l a little better, and now all his excess energy while he was getti · g well. he wa a sweet-faced and trong young woman of about twenty-five, and her name was Mary Rath . Billy had no more idea of eternally calling her Miss Rath than of jumping out of bed and l~iss ing Ellen, whom he hadn't e\ en seen in all tLose weeks. o he just called her "Ratsy." Mis Rath didn't seem to mind, and I doubt if it would have done her any good if she had cared. All that time Ratsy and her young charge had occupied two adjoining rooms, which were curtained off from the rest of the upstairs, and they had become very well acquainted with each other. Last week the Doctor had taken a culture of Billy's throat, only to return with the verdict, "Po itive," which to Billy meant those blamed scarlet fever bugs were still hanging 'round him, and he couldn't leave his room for another week. o now he sat very still. reflecting. Billy was sitting still and thinking! Another week of torture was almo t gone; another week of separation and isolation from hi family, friends and, in fact, the world. This fact had repeated itself in Billy's mind until he could almost say it backwards. And now, as he sat propped up in bed, waiting for his dinner, and thinkinJ over the same afore-mentioned bit of news, he suddenly awoke to the fact that tomorrow would, maybe, end his misery; that is, if the Doctor could be prevailed upon to say "yes" if he meant "no" and "no" if he meant that. Billy was a boy, and a human one at that. And more, he was thirteen. To some people, arriving at the age of thirteen, means very little, but to Billy it had meant a great deal, for he had just come to think and feel himself very important in the affairs of his family. He was rather short, and inclined to fit the saying, "Fa t and good-natured." His small, twinkly eyes could look at you angelically one minute with his freckles, pug nose, and mouth continually grinning, all combining to make his being a perfect picturt' of amiability, sugar weetness (that was almost too sweet) and friendliness. But the next! If woman is as changeable as the wind, then Billy had a day in olorado where all kinds of weather are exhibited at once, backed to the wall. There was one point in Billy's favor: he never could hold a grudge against anyone longer than fifteen minutes, and it was this which endeared him to everyone he met, saw, or came in contact with. He had been taken sick with scarlet fever five weeks ago, and five weeks had passed in which he suffered miserably from the disease itself. but now he was suffering from a disease which comes to meet convalescents, that of being in a tormenting, peevish. remorseful, teasing and angelic frame of mind all at once. Billy had reached that stage. If those five weeks of sickness had meant much to Billy, what had it meant for his mother and nurse? When he had Just then Miss Rath came in with a basin of water. "Aw, say, Ratsy, Iemme get up an' eat outa bed, won't you? I'll do anything a' tall, Ratsy, go on," coaxed Billy in his most wheedling voice. 98 �Ratsy smiled, but grasping at the aforesaid words of that young gentleman to do anything she wanted, as a drowning person grasps at a rope, she said quickly, "If I do, will you soak your feet for a good half hour after a while?" the stillness. Instantly the household was aroused. Ratsy came flying . Billy precipitated himself into the other room. Mother ran to the wailing Ellen. The little girl was bent almost double, her head was hanging, she was shaking it as if she had been stung by a thousand bees. "You bel! ow come on, Ratsy, where's my slippers an' my shirt an'" flinging back the bed covers with an arm fast becoming strong and forceful, Billy began rummaging at the foot end of the bed for his various apparel. After sending the winded Ratsy on a dozen and one trips to the other room to help find first his knife- he must have that to cut his orange-then his dressing gown, and then something else he forgot to tell her the first time, Billy was sitting in state again waiting for his dinner. "What on earth's the matter, Ellen?" gasped mother, looking askance at Ellen's head, a mass of curls that seemed forever inextricably glued together by a brownish, soft substance oozing in a myriad of streams down her face. "G-g-gravy, an' Billy," sobbed Ellen, in a despairing voice, trying to wipe away the tears, thereby smearing her face all the more. Billy upstairs broke into a gale of laughter. He had been frightened for an instant, but now that no harm was done-"it only got on Ellen's hair"-he had doubled up in a chair, laughing and gasping in the most contagious manner possible. Then suddenly his loud gaiety was checked by the loud ringing of the telephone bell. Billy listened a minute almost breathlessly to the inflection of his mother's voice over the phone, and then, with another giggle lost all interest in the person on the phone. In the other room was the dumb waiter, on which had been ~ent to him all his meals from the kitchen. ow as he heard rr.otl>er put t~e steaming dishes on its shelves to send up, Billy had an idea! He would surprise Ratsy and pull up their dinner himself. He tiptoed into the other room, softly opened the door of the dumb waiter chute, called down, "All right" in a high nasal voice, which h<' vainly tried to make like Ratsy's, and pulled. Down stairs he heard Ellen say in an important tone, ''I'll see that Ratsy gets it all right, mother," and Ellen poked her head up the black hole to watch the disappearing trays. And just at this moment came the inevitable. Billy never could tell how it happened, but in pulling he had shaken the "dummy" and the dishes rattled. Then before his very eyes the dish containing that wonderful brown hot gravy spilled, and dish and all went dripping through the narrow space that was between the dummy and the wall, and landed on something decidedly human. Ten minutes later he noticed a scrap of white paper under the door. He stared at it, a questioning look in his twinkly eyes, then walked slowly to the spot and picked it up. In big scrawly letters he found this epistle: "Mr. Gravy-spiller: The Doctor told mother you still got the Bugs, an' you didn't even know what a Bag was, an' you gotta stay m some more, an' you'll be Awful Sorrie 'cause I'll never watch your dinner up that black hole again, an' mother says jus' 'cause my hairs so sticky you gotta show me how to whisll . " 'Spec'fully an' your truli, One horrible long and almost everlasting second of silence, which seemed to Billy as if it never would end. just as he was beginning to despair of ever hearing poor little Ellen's voice in this world again, a piercing shriek, seemingly uttered by the god of oise and Discord himself, which was followed by another, broke upon - Ellen Mariella Warren ."

While the Mmerva Literary ociety is essentially a literary society, as its name implies, it does not neglect the social side of things; so whenever there was any money in the treasury the girls gave a party.

William aile, a graduate of We t Point, and ergt. P. T. O'Toole of the regular army to organize and drill the cadet corps of the various high school of Denver. When it was learned that the long hoped for cadet corps was to be no longer a mere dream, but at last a reality, the greatest enthusiasm was shown. Everyone was talking drills and army regulations. quads of boys were making mysterious trips to the base ment, where they endured various thumpings and pounding . went through certain startling contortions under the supervi ion of hi maje ty, the doctor, and were finally told that they were fit to join thi organization . In spite of the fact that the organization of the corps did not begin until the latter part of the school year, and that each cadet had to agree to pay fifteen dollars for a uniform, more than fifty boy "fell in" at fir l drill. Boys of every class in the school were here, of e' ery height, and of every age, for this is no "exclusive" organization, its only requirements being: physical fitness, obedience, and trict attention to business. At one of the fir t meetings held, Kate Chase was elected sponsor for the company. As sponsor, M iss Chase is to all intents and purposes an active member of the company, and ha a right to 108 �drill squads take part in contests at climbing the wall. To make up for all this work there will be a Military Ball at El Jebel Temple on May 19th. appoint six assistants. The girl selected by Miss hase as her assistants were: Dorothy Beyer, Elma Harvey, Margaret Roosevelt, Elizabeth Morning, Marie Melzer and Magnolia Pitts. The company also elected four men to act as its temporary leaders. Now followed many drills in the early morning before school, or in the evening after classes. Many times in heavy snow or sphs1ing mud, and nearly always in bitter cold, the company did it ~ "squads right column left." But the boys stayed with it; few were ever absent at roll call, and finally there came a time when no one tried to execute a "squads right" when "squads left" was given. A board wall over eight feet high has been built, and at every The Latin chool Cadets organized at the same time as did the main building boys, with a roll call of fifty-nine members. Their sponsor is Elizabeth Rendle. Regularly every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday they come together for drill, and are fast shaping into the best drilled squad in the city. Even now they have beaten the Main Building Cadets in wall scaling by two seconds, their time being nine second . Three lovely rooms for them were madeA cooking room all white, A dining room, where feasts are laid, Another nice and bright. The mysteries of cook-book rule o more do them annoy, For now they have a cooking school That makes things to our joy. Did'st know we have some chefs supreme At this big school of ours? And did thou know thev were the cream Of all East's fairest flowers? Fair, white hands are learning now Their powers to bestow On some big, soft and flabby piece Of white and yielding dough. 109 �m. ®. §.

The question wa : "Re olved, That a Pohcy of hipping ubsid1e Be Adopted tn the nited tales merican Merchant for the Encouragement and Protection of the Marine." East upheld the negative side of the que tion. The deci ion was 2-1 in favor of outh. The lo s of the econd debate, a double-header, sounded the death knell of our champion hip hopes. olorado prings had e,tered the Denver di'1 ion at the Ia t moment. We were notified of our double debate with them, contrary to schedule. Thi o up et plan a to make a chool tr out practically impo ible. As the ongres Debating ociety of this school had already arranged for a pnvate debate with olorado prings, they represented East in the state contest. Both d bate were held on the night of February 16. " ompulsory Military ervice" was the subject debated. There wa a decision again t u in both places. The third debate wa with Arvada, and East, a in the outh debate, upheld the negative ide of the ub idy question. Our team was victoriou , winning a 2-1 decision. This debate put new hope into the otherwise gloomy outlook. Ea t again met outh in a double debate which closed the state debating season. A the rvada victory evened the first outh defeat so the unanimous East victory at both ends evened the Colorado pnng di aster. The que tion wa : "Re olved, That the Federal Government hould Own and Operate All the Telegraph and Telephone Lines." The home team upheld the affirmative side while the team that went to outh Denver sustained the negative. Though the sea on has not been as succe sful as some of us may have wished, the students should remember that the "school support," which is very necessary for the success of any team, was at the beginning of the year very weak. To the effort of the coache , Whitenack and Potter, and s i tant oach obol, the succe of the teams i due.

The team from East Denver wa composed entirely of member of the Forum, who supported the negative side and won the debate by a decision of 2-1.

Stage Manag er (carrying a heavy sack of gold on his back) remarks lucratively, "Well, I claim this is not half bad, not half bad, making all this money." Barnstormer (with small mustache set at a rakish angle)-"We certainly ought to have cleaned up a pile, as we had two good hou es, thanks to the spirit of old East Denver." Stage Manager-"And thanks to the 'pep' and hard work Mr. Pitts donated to the good cause of making actors out of raw students." Barnstormer (musing to himself) -"E leanor Handy certainly did make some leading lady; s~e was so well adapted to the part of ' uzanne.' '' Stage Mana&er- " What's that you're mumbling?" Barnslormer- " Don't you remember the great hunt for the ' crap of Paper' during t~e second act?" Stage Manager- " Do I? And 'Madame de Ia Glaciere' (Lydia Begole)? Her sob stuff had wonderful realism." Barnslormer-"She was good, all right. And so was Willa Ferris as 'Mathilde' when she was all dressed up in that riding scenery. Stage Manager-"And cute, too, I think. And of all wonders, Magnolia Pitts as 'Mademoiselle Zenobie' made an admirable old maid." Barnsiormer- " How she did keep 'Anatole' on the jump! Mary Belle !~holson as 'Pauline' had some new and original ideas about servants. Stage M anager-"Yes, and if she had some 'Parisian Correspondents' I should not be surprised. But Hazel Miles as the prim housekeeper, 'Madame Dupont,' certainly kept her in her place, between dusting the furniture and feeding the canary." Barnslormer-"But when that monocled icicle, 'Baron de Ia Glaciere' (Lucius Hoyt), came in, everybody in the house felt a cold draft." Stage Manager (softly and lightly) " 'Here Fidele.' Moreland Humphries as 'Brisemouche' was a gifted collector of curiosities, which he collected from Mr. Cannon's cases." Barnslormer-"Harold Wagner as 'Anatole' was a fast young gentleman, but he fell for two bright eyes." /age Manager-"What could you expect with such socks? But he had nothing on Dan Cushley, who led a double life as 'Bapl!ste' and 'Francois' -faithful servants' parts, which he fitted to a 'T'." Barnslormer-"What was that disturbance between acts?" Stage Manager- "Why, that was the high school orchestra rendering pleasing and popular selections to the delight of the audience." Barnslormer- "What are you going to do with that sack of gold you're dragging around?" Stage Manager- "Why, Congress and Min erva are going to present that to t~e school to create a fund for debating and other literary activities." Barnslormer-"Good enough; but it seems to me there is something we left out." Stage Manager-" Didn't I see you adorning the stage?" Deep silence on the part of the barnstormer. Stage Managcr-"Yes it was you. You can't hide it from me. You portrayed the part of 'Prosper.' ay, you were handsome li 1<e Bushman-when you were made up. But in ~pite of your looks, you made a good leading man. Barnslormer-"Aw! have a heart! You're a fir.e scene shifter, but as a critic---! Yet all in all, it was a fine story and they played it well. And, what's more, it was a great financial success, even if the price was reduced to 15 cents. Perhaps you know something about that; how about it?" Deep and prolonged silence. Curtain.

But since they cut my morning hour Far shorter than I sought, Just at the time I need it most, I can't do half I ought. Now, little ink-well, don't you sighYou're sorely grieved I know, 'Cause the tricks we did And your broken lid Did vex your patience so; But you'll get a new lid by and byNow, little ink-well, don't you sigh. nd now it's always, "Hurry up, Here comes the eight-ten car; Don't stop for any breakfast, But go just as you are." And if I don't get the car On that speedy eight-ten trip, I can't get in my home room Without a little slip. ow, little ink-well, don't you sighWe have been unfair, I know; You've served so well For quite a spell; And when we're gone we'll miss you so; But just you wait-behave we'll tryNow, little ink-well, don't you sigh.

Four long years we've worked together long they seemed, day after day, But to us now looking backward Oh! how soon they slipped away! And our bonds each with the other, held in friendship's closest tie, Will be hard to break at parting-when we meet to say good-by. Many happy days we've spent here, and the few we can recall That were sad and full of trouble now seem, strangely, best of all; For they knit us close together with a sympathetic eye That will make us long to linger-when we meet to say good-by. But we must not tarry longer, for we each have heard the call, And we're ready for life's battle with its chance to fight or fall; And the thoughts of dear East Denver that within us deeply lie Will make the parting sweeter-when we must say good-by.

The members of the Board have become experts in messenger service; they are worthy of positions as editorial writers on the ew York Times; and they might set up a photographic studio and make plenty of money. They have worked o' nights and used study hours to turn out the best book possible. If the under classes don't like it as it is, they can try to make a better one next year. If the Seniors object, it was their fault for electing such a Board. However, the editors are human, and they probably have made gross blunders of the worst sort, but they ask to be pardoned, and would like to suggest that if these errors are too bad for your sensitive eye, a blot of ink is an excellent eradicator. As a last resort it may do your feelings good to vent them on the Board, and if this is the case, write us a letter; and, if you want an answer, enclose a stamped, addressed envelope, and we will attempt to mollify your feelings toward us with plenty of good excuses. 145 --- �g(lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!lt §:o~ttllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll l lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!.:§ ~rattan 1\gimun We of the Annual Board wish to take this opportunity to thank the following individually and collectively, without who e help this book could not have been published: Miss Kennan, who has given us much of her time in correcting manu cript; Mr. Reed, for his supervision of the finances of the Annual and his management of the" kate"; Mr. Newland, who has read and corrected the proof; Dart Wantland, for typewriting all of our copy ; ] ack Chapman, for taking the pictures of most of the committees and boards; Miss Woodson, for her help in the art department; Mr. Barrell and the rest of the faculty for their hearty cooperation; and finally the student body as a whole, that has given such loyal and cordial support. f.iuuuilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllm 146 �Autograpq11 �Autograpq.s �Autograpqn �150 ��. ����� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
