They are precious offerings on the altar of justice. Each was a life lived for others and each teaches us, in these troubled times, the magnificent lesson of Service. 6 �J Suggested by the Sacrifice of Hugh Edwards Barrett 1• · -- -- - , r -- 0, bird of white, bird of light, bird of Victory, By the set of your wings and the course of your flight I know you are coming to me. What is your mission, lovely bird? What are you bringing me? Is it something wonderful you have heard of our boy over the sea? Sing me the thing you would have me know, You can sing it high and clear, For you are a bird of liberty, and never a creature of fear. But why do you hang your head, fair one? Do you bow in sympathy? Is the note of your song one of pity? Is your soul weeping for me? You are singing I Ah I yes, 'tis a sad, sad strain, and now I understand; The hope of my life, the boy of my dreams, has fallen in No Man's Land. 0, what a hard, hard scarilice, what a loss it is to me I But over in F ranee stands a little cross, it stands for Victory. Fly back, fly back, sweet bird, fleet bird, and say to his soul for me, That I will light as he has fought until the world is free. Then I shall sing as you do, my notes will be clear and strong. For out of the deepest sacrifice is born the greatest song. -GLADYS CROFT. �FACULTY EAST SIDE HIGH SCHOOL 8 �FACULTY HARRY M. BARRETT ELIZABETH S. FRASER Principal English Latin, Mat' ematic. MRS.

BARRETT 59 �CLA HI TOR Cia e may come and clas e may go, but when the lass of 1918 tepped into the Old urio ity hop on Broadway in the fall of 1914, there were rumor that the peppiest cia s of old E. D. H. . had made its initial bow. Of cour e, we had to be very diplomatic at first, supporting the Annual, cheering the speakers from the big school, and keeping our athletes in training, preparing to reach out for honors when we had left the fold of dear old Remy. We will always remember our May Day party, when orton chaeffer was crowned Queen of the May, and later the girls danced together, while the boys stood bravely in the doorways. Our class election started the ball rolling in a very spirited way. Our class president, Howard Vickery, silver-tongued orator and popular club-man, and Julia Pitkin, as Secretary of State, have held the reins admirably, while our smiling John Trowbridge, as Treasurer, has been able to talk money out of the statues, or at least can hold up a statue. Our class meetings are full of dignity (prove it by Briggs), even though some people hinted that we talked like a chorus club and four motions were made at once. (Mr. President. Ladies and Gentlemen. Motion. Motion.) Our executive committee has conducted its business in a very creditable manner. Even in our ophomore year we stood the indignities of the upper cia men, and miled serenely when we were initiated into the my terie of the halls, statue , radiators, elevator and office at ineteenth and tout. oon our boys were cho en for clubs, football, basketball, Congress and Forum, while the girls dropped gracefully into Minerva, tackled athletics, admired the enior boys and envied the enior girls, but best of all, we were accepted as a very good bunch, and worthy the joys and orrows that were coming to us. The fir t big event of the year was the Senior Picnic, and the committee, under the able leadership of Dean Archey, sold, sold, sold until every ticket in the big drive was taken, and a happy bunch set forth and a tired, but happy, bunch came back, vowing there never had been such a picnic, such eats, such songs and such good fellowship. In fact, good fellowship has been largely the keynote of this class of ours, and we hope it will still prove a tie in the years to come. Frank Briggs was popularly elected Head Boy. The passing of the Latin School, with its dusty walls and worn-out stairs, left a void on Broadway, and we looked in vain for the raising of the "Stars and Stripes" each morning, but the spirit of the old school still is felt in the busy world. Juniors! With our pictures in rows in the Annual, our boys in the foremost van of athletics, fighting like heroes in every branch of sport, even dodging teachers successfully, and getting signed up for games after some promising talk ; of course, winning contests very much worth while in oratory and debating, and socially putting up a very smart front. It was proven beyond a doubt that the Class of '18, as juniors, had certainly been going some, even if we were snowed in on our Junior picnic; but as Seniors, we have reached the heights. 60 In gingham dress and hair in braids, Miss 1918 tripped out to her Hall owe' en Party, and mirthfully danced with little boys in sweaters and corduroy pants, ate pumpkin pie and drank sweet cider, and had her fortune told by a real fortune teller and knew it was all coming true. �year. But the Prom, the most anticipated and the shortest joy of all the I simply must burst forth in rhyme: We all stepped out on the twenty-ninth Of the month of gay December, For that was the night of our grand Prom, You surely all remember. We held it down at El Jebel, For we are a pompous class, Many handsome boys were there And many a pretty lass. Our honored president, Vickery, Escorted Nettie Meyer, A better pair to lead the march You never could desire. Of music we had the very best, For Lohman played for us. We could have danced the whole night through If the clock had made no fuss. But the clock did strike its eleven bells And we all trooped sadly away. Well, "here's to all the Senior Proms From now until judgment day." Our social hours have been delightful little affairs, the ] azz Band being a great factor in their success. We had stars in comedy and vaudeville, as well as stars in the football field, winning the gridiron championship this year with consistent and brilliant playing. Our orators, debaters, readers and essayists have all reflected glory on East Denver, and our cadets, under aptain Cornish and Trinnier, have all the pep of seasoned veterans. On the twentieth of April occurred our famous Spring Party. Lights glowed and sweet strains of music sounded through the halls; everyone with his best girl was there. It was some party, this party that was not. Our wonderful service flag shows the spirit of the school, and the boys and girls of 191 8 are always ready to do their bit when they are called. Our teachers have had much to bear and the office knows us pretty well, but still we will always find a welcome hand when we stray back. So, here's to the Class of 1918. May the friendships formed within these walls remain unchanged as the years go by, and the ideals cherished in our hearts crystallize into the motto of our class- " ervice"- to our friends, our country and our flag.

" early in our careers. Without being boastful or egotistical, we can safely say that we have done our full share to plant East Denver on a high pedestal of achievement and sportsmanship. Did we not, a Freshmen at Latin, have a football team which ea ily defeated the Littleton Grammar chool and came out victorious over two Denver school teams? And now that we are Juniors with all the dignity and responsibility that that exalted position holds, should we not be proud of our record? Although we are represented in every branch of athletics by such stars a Phillips and Vidal, it is not alone in athletics that we have starred. Our Junior Class has subscribed well for Thrift Stamps and Liberty Loan Bonds, which is something of which we should be proud 66 in that we have helped the government in our little way to carry on our war for Freed om. Our Junior debaters have won recognition m their debates with other school teams. Although reminiscences are sweet, they savor of approaching age with its infirmities, both mental and physical. so we dwell not in the past alone. We feel that there are conquests waiting for us in the future, victories both athletic and scholastic. It has been found that in the past, history has repeated itself. In the future it will continue to do so, and the class of '19 will always be found at the front, winning honor and glory for dear old EAST.

From there you're directed onward And told ycur ways to mend. It's at the end of a school day, When you're tired and worn from work; You go and wait in the shadows, Where so m1ny people lurk. It's at the end of a Quarter, When you gravely walk in there To settle about your failures, And fix things all up square. It's when you're late to your study, When you've been talking in the hall, That they send you down the passage, And you wait there for your call. It's just when things get funny, And you've made a very good joke, That the teacher cries, "To the office!" And you leave the room with a choke. It's when your car got stopped some way, And breakfast wasn't ready, That your watch was awfully slow that day, And it's usually very steady. It's after a stolen holiday, When you're feeling 0, so good; That you have to stand by the office door, Where you've so often stood. But it's at the end of your school life That you walk in there one day, And then wish 0 so sadly! That you could wait and stay. H~::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Hi - VIRGI lA BA CROFT. 73 �It was on a bleak September morn in 191 7 that a motley, proverbially green body of Latin chool students drifted timidly into East Denver High chool, within whose formidable red walls they imagined lurked many a torture. orne of them had just entered the main hall when an important looking individual, clothed in overalls, hurried by, mysteriously rattling a large ring of keys. What a shudder ran through them! For perhaps he was the Keeper, himself. Others were rudely knocked aside by persons who later proved to be merely "self satisfied crubs," who were patiently searching for Cell 108. Finally these frightened specimens succeeded in gathering from their condescending fellow convicts, the information that they should go to the "Execution Room," where either the Chief Warden or his assistant would direct them further. With little difficulty they found the way-worn thoroughfare to this chamber, which was the only action that came easy to them in those first few days. They were thence herded into a room where their respective cells, working hours and section bosses were assigned. 74 Those memories! Where are they now? Gone- Forgotten- How? A series of unexpected discoveries were being made ; the section bosses showed a sense of humor on occasions, and have actually laughed; the older inmates, on the whole, J:roved a version of the letters B. P. 0 . E. Mr. Barrett, the chief warden, proved to be a square friend to all, in spite of his vertical achievement; and the fellow convicts, classmates, have become great friends in the common task of showing East Denver that eptember, '1 7, was a lucky month for them. Also, they discovered Knowledge has its uses. They're glad they're here. They want to stay. May East have cause to bless that day. LOWELL L. HALL. ��Th Weekly Composition The weekly composition Is wearing to our brain; Though subjects that we think of Are numerous as rain. But we must find one fitting, Of interest to the class, And told in proper grammar If we desire to pass. One time 'tis conservation, Next time we tackle war; And then we write about them both Till we can write no more. Our school affairs are next in line, Red Cross not far behind, While talks on current interests Mixed with them all you find. An editorial we write; Descriptions in a pile, Reviews of books and magazines We place upon the file. A sketch of character we try, Narrations quite a few, Until our duty says indeed Orations we must do. At last all topics fail us ; We can not work a ruse! And so we echo sadly, "It simply is no use!" But think of other weeks to come! We can't give up as yet. We must, unless we care for D's, Our weekly essay get. -ELIZABETH CoR ISH. 76 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: �CADET The wave of intense patriotism sweeping over the country in 191 7 reached East Denver early in the year. A company of Cadets was organized in February and by the time that war was declared on April 6, a well organized body was drilling under the direction of Lieut. N aile and Sergt. O'Toole of the regular army. At the beginning of the present school year, the desire for military training had become so strong that a second company was formed. Even the orders to report for eight o'clock drill on Monday mornings did not check the enthusiasm. At present regular dnlls are held Monday and Wednesday mornings at the assembly period. We are becoming thoroughly familiar with the groundwork of military tactics and we believe that we could be of real service to the government, should the occasion require. Although the drills were often strenuous, we have had time for several social gatherings. The Cadets at Manual entertained the Cadets of the other high schools at a dance, with military "movies" as an added attraction. We of East also gave a party for the Cadets of the four other high schools. The two companies at North intend to present a play in the near future. But our biggest social events are the annual banquet and the near the regular army encampment during the first week in June The most important undertaking of the year will be the military camp near the regular army encampment during the fifirst week in June. Although as yet, none of our members have seen service at the front, we have no doubt that if the time comes, the Denver High chool Cadets will give a good account of themselves. HAROLD wAG ER. 77 �Lieut. Clark, Lieut. Handy, Capt. T rinn:er, Capt. Co ~ nish, Lieut. Bardwell, Lieut. Livermore 78 �-- 79 �The Denver High chool ongress has just completed its fifteenth session. Both members and faculty have every reason to feel satisfied with the results attained. We are justly proud of our service Rag with its forty-five stars. One of our alumni, Ex- enator Barrett, has already made the supreme sacrifice. Naturally the greatest interest centers about speeches and speakers. Of the six members of the tate Debating Team, two were Congressmen. One of our members, Representative Bauer, won the Woodbury medal. and another, Representative Pleus, was awarded the Stevens prize. Representative F reedheim was selected to represent the school in the tate Oratorical contest. In the Triangular debate our home team, consisting of Representative Stratton and en a tor Clark, lost by a decision of two to one; but the team which went to Pueblo, Representatives F reedheim and Bauer, won the unanimous decision of the judges and was awarded the Beckhart prize. But it is not alone in debate and oratory that Congress excels. Even the committee admitted that every one had a good time at the annual party given with Minerva on December 7th. Mr. Pitts chose "Green Stockings" for the Congress-Minerva play this year. It was so successful that it was repeated on April 5th at the Woman's Club Building for the benefit of the Red Cross, and again on April I 2 for the soldiers at Fort Logan. The annual banquet, one of our most enjoyable events, occurred on April 26th, at the Metropole Hotel. Senator Wagner presided as toastmaster. The team work has been splendid, and all in all, we believe that in no previous session has Congress done more for its members, or have the members done more for Congress.

The Minerva Literary ociety of East Denver High chool is composed of one hundred and fifty girls of accredited scholarship. Meetings are held every other Thursday afternoon of the school year. We have been extremely fortunate in having for our sponsor Miss Griffin. The programs have been varied and interesting. At one meeting Helen Ring Robinson and Mrs. Ferne Whiteman mith furnished the program. Although we are supposed to be very dignified, we may be found many times dancing and revelling in the lower hall. Our initiations, which occur in eptember and February, afford great fun. It has been rumored that ongress might wed Minerva and one might believe the rumor judging from the delightful joint meetings in which we indulge. In "Green Stockings," our play this year, we were ably supported by Congress and much credit is due to our coach, Mr. Pitts, whose selection of the cast was splendid. For patriotic reasons, the luncheon was omitted this year. And now let me add that the friendships the girls have formed will be to them a lasting treasure. FRA CES DOYLE, '18.

Mr. Pitts took hold of the play and, with his usual good judgment, chose a cast that could not be beaten. The leading lady, Virginia Bancroft, as Celia Faraday, was a hit from the moment of her wet and disconsolate entrance to the very end. when she uses the woman's prerogative of changing her mind. Jimmie oland, as the unknown and fabulous Colonel Smith, gave the audience great delight by his sudden and attractive manner of making love. Mr. Pitts could not have picked a more willing or an abler leading man, even though several times he had to admonish him, "Get to work, Smith," in the last act. High among those to receive commendation was Aunt Ida, known to the world at large as Magnolia Pitts. One would believe that she was in the habit of getting drunk and having hysterics at least once a day. Aunt Ida whooped to perfection. But the scream of the evening was the Honorable Robert Tarver, candidate for Parliament. This part was taken by Daniel Cushley. Phyllis Faraday, who played opposite him, was very good also. She was, before entering the play, Mary Belle Nicholson. Harold Wagner, as Mr. Faraday, Esq., had his soul blessed in so many tones of voice that he ought to have been good for at least five minutes. Lady Trenchard, played by Vivienne Phillipps, and Mrs. Rockingham, impersonated by Margaret Cordingly, because of ex:eptional quality, took high honors. We stole a march on the general public by really taking our butler, Martin, from Congress. From his manner of announcing guests, it was 6 suspected that Timothy Avington had been borrowed from some real stage performance. Admiral Grice, otherwise Freeman Quinby, has a voice like a fog horn and there is no wonder that Tarver was frightened when the Admiral had a question to ask him. Hugh Clarke, as Henry Steele, was suspected of getting quite a temper because Celia would not talk to him. Jimmie Raleigh, taken by Charles Blakeney, although bored at first, woke up a little during a twenty-minute wait in the cold. Great credit should be given to the manager, Frank Walter, who succeeded in gathering in about a hundred dollars for the Annual. But above all, credit for the whole performance goes to Mr. Pitts. His untiring and unselfish devotion was one of the wonders of the cast and the underlying cause of the success of the play.

One particular Gold tar represents Morri Sobel, one of the founders of the organization and probably the most brilliant debater it has ever produced. The Forum Reunion, the Double Debate with Greeley, and the Picnic, which was held after the last year '~ Annual had gone to press, were the principal events of the For urn calendar for 191 7-18. The significant thing, however, is not what the Forum does on these occasions, but what the Forum does throughcut the year- what the Forum is. True to its name, the Forum is a society of the common people. It has a minimum of formality, restrictions, and pretense. It excludes no one who applies for membership, and it holds as its highest ideal that everyone has a perfect right to his own opinions, and should be permitted to express them. The chief reason for the existence of the Forum Debating Society is that there are about twenty students of East Denver High chool who find at its meetings a great deal of real benefit and genuine enjoyment. Long live the Forum and its mainstay, Mr. Whitenack.

In the State Debating League East Denver won a unanimous decision over Manual, on the question of "Government Ownership of Railroads." The next debate was a double debate with Greeley on the same question. Each of these decisions was 2 to I in favor of Greeley. In the Triangular, the Congress team which went to Pueblo won by a unanimous decision. The team which debated Canon City here made a splendid defense, but lost by a decision of 2 to I. The Forum's Double Debate with Greeley was held without judges. This no-decision plan, which has been used extensively in Intercollegiate Debating, allowed greater freedom of discussion and consequently increased rather than decreased the interest in the argument. Those who participated in the various debates were : Marvin Bauer, Hugh Clarke, Byron Cohn, Frank Deis, Eugene Freedheim, Marcel Koeneke, Benjamin Miller, Dwight Morgans, Carlos Stratton, and Oscar Tuckwood.

"When a child," the wise Senior replied to the youth, "I learned to do two things at once; And now while I lunch, I can learn rules forsooth, So Miss abin won't think I'm a dunce." "You are old," quoth the Freshman, now pacing the floor, "Yet each day after school is dismissed You talk to ten girls in the long corridor; I should think at your age you'd desist." • "My dear boy," said the sage, as he threw back his hair, "I prophesy when you've older grown You'll be anxious as I to talk to the fair, My interest in whom you bemoan." "You are old," said the Freshman, "and have studied so much I should think your poor nerves would break down; Yet you always look happy; your expression is such That your forehead's ne'er marred by a frown." "I have stood here ten minutes, and that is enough," Said the Senior with one of his stares. "These Freshmen do talk the most frivolous stuff. Attend, sir, to your own small affairs." -MARIA ~~?::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::111 96 CARTER. i; ~:::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: fff �97 �FOOTBALL, '17 The football season of '17 opened the second week in eptember. Sixty followers of the pig-skin were out for practice and after weeks of hard work Coach Puffer chose the following men to start the first game: Captain Briggs, Allen, Shoemaker, Tokarsky, Karcher, and Vickery, of Ia t year's team, and O'Brien, Beauchamp, Gibbons, Phillips, and Haul man. Our first game, which wa with West Denver, resulted in a tie core- 6-6. This might have disheartened many fellows, but it mstilled fight into our boys. The second game the team played up to its true form and trampled Manual by a core of 33-3. hoemaker was the star of this game and O'Brien and Briggs were very conspicuous. The victory over Manual made us aspire to greater conquests and we defeated ~outh 19-0. Allen and hoemaker did the best work in this game. Our last game was with North for the championship and we entered with the spirit of "do or die." The game was the best that has been played in many years and both teams fought the game to a finish. Allen was injured in the third quarter and his place was taken by Bryans, who played a fine game and helped bring the score to 13-0. Every member of the team played well in this game and each starred. This battle won us the championship for the second consecutive season. Much credit for our success goes to oach Puffer and Briggs, who worked for the good of the team at all times. Letters were given to aptain Briggs, Captain-elect T okarsky, hoemaker, O'Brien, Phillips, Gibbons, all of whom made the All-City T earn, and Karcher, Beauchamp, Haul man, Bryans, Vidal, Laskowitz, Trowbridge, Kemper, ohn, Marsh, and Manager Vickery. Our Victory was celebrated by a delightful luncheon given for the football team by the Cooking Class.

East Denver is noted for its patriotism, so the whole team of the Angel's nine gave up baseball and studies and went to assist their country. The second team was left, but it did not have the old pep and fire which characterized the dauntless first team, so East suffered four defeats before the season finally ended and the team finished in fourth place. Those receiving letters were Weiss, captain; Shoemaker, captain-elect; Phillips, Collins, Mosk, Briggs, Mohana, Douglas, Tokarsky, Neumann, Wasserstein, and Smith. CHUCK PHILLIPS, '19. 100 �·. Wasserstein, Mohana, Weiss (Captain), Collins, Douglas Shoemaker, Phillips, Puffer (Coach), Mosk, Bnggs 101 �TRACK, '17 The track season this year was, as usual, a very successful one for our school. A large number of boys answered the call of old King Track, and they pegged away from the beginning to the end with a vigor and determination which argued well for a successful season. Coach Hall, assisted by Captain Williamson, winner of the half mile, and Gabby Holland, East's star and winner of the 440-yard dash, put a team into the field which everyone expected to win. But East was forced to take second place. Keen competition and good natured rivalry were noticeable features m every event nnd some records would probably have been broken had it not been for a heavy, driving rain which all but forced the management to give out rain checks. Everybody waited with bated breath the outcome of the relay race, for this was the last and, incidentally, the deciding factor in determining the winner of the meet. and West had divided honors about evenly up to this time. East We lost in the last lap, how- ever, or my story would be a more pleasing one. Here's hoping that some one is able to tell that kind of story next year. Those making letters were: Holland, Allen, Briggs, T escher, Dean, Shoemaker, Williamson, Walters, McNeal, Ladd, and Cowdery. fRANK SHOEMAKER, '18. 102 �Dean, Shoemaker, Wahers, Allen Holland, Hall (Coach), Briggs Me eal, T escher, Williamson, Cowdery 103 �. .)YS' BASKETBALL When Coach Puffer sounded the call for basketball. the fellows responded with the old East Denver spirit, and about forty-five men reported for practice. Phillips and Archey were the only letter men returning to school. According to the ruling of the Board of Control, the season consisted of eight games to be played, but in only five of these games could a single player take part. This left three games to be played by second string men. The team rounded into shape in fine style and we had high hopes of carrying away the championship. We were not far disappointed, as we finished in second place along with North and West, Manual being first. Much credit must be given to Coach Puffer and Captain Phillips for the manner in which they handled the team. Those making letters were: Captain Phillips, Archey, Allen, Briggs, Houston, Kristoff, Merridith, Oppenlander, Trowbridge, Tescher, L. Vidal. E. Vidal, and Manager Zimmerli. GERALD O'BRIEN, '18. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Girls' basketball has come into the foreground this year more than ever before. In the early fall the girls responded to the call and stayed out nobly throughout the year. We had four letter girls back whose enthusiasm served as an inspiration to the team. The games were snappy and interesting and we feel that the year was a success in spite of the fact that we only tied for second place. 104 jULIA PITKIN, • I 8. �Trowbndge, Briggs, L.

The enthusiasm felt by all the girls in the school kept up remarkably well, and knitting was done all winter. The Girls' Welfare Committee is composed of nine girls elected from the four classes. This year for the first time the Girls' Committee and the Boys' Committee enjoyed joint meetings. The "Monitor System" was started to prevent stealing and proved very successful. Of course we all like fun and so we had our big party in December. Some very interesting programs in the Assembly room were the result of the untiring efforts of Frank Shoemaker, the boys' chairman. Much credit is due Miss Chambers and Mr. Garvin, whose advice was invaluable. We feel that we owe much to our Principal for his hearty co-operation in all our work. The auxiliary is deeply indebted to the Rooters' Club for the money turned over to them to pay the deposits on wool to be taken out. The gauze work, done in the sewing room on Mondays and Thursdays, was begun in the winter under the direction of Mrs. Richards. The classes worked very steadily, and have turned out a splendid amount of work. A great deal of its success was due to the efforts of Miss Fraser, who kept up an unflagging interest in the work, and to Miss Marian Carter, who had charge of the auxiliary. FRA cEs DoYLE, '18. THRIFT STAMPS The most important of the school activities this year was the Thrift Stamp Campaign. This campaign was organized by Miss Mary Sabin and divided into two leagues: the Army and the Navy. The officers of the two leagues are: Leslie Crocker, President, and Nancy Sherman, Secretary-Treasurer of the Army League, and Carlin Allen, President, and Marion Dickinson, Secretary-Treasurer, of the Navy League. The drive began with five thousand dollars as an objective, but already that amount has been reached, and now it is hoped to reach six thousand before the close of school. East Denver has made a fine showing and has just reason to feel proud of herself.

LORD Mr. David Lord, our custodian, came to East Denver High School in June, 1898, and has kept our school spick and span for twenty years. He is small in stature but big in the spirit of helpfulness, always ready to do what he can to help others. I love a certain high school, East Denver is its name. I love the ground it stands on, and e'en its football fame. I love each nook and corner, each picture, desk and wall; I even love the office, where I tend the "Tardy Ball." I love the office training and I love the lunch-room too. Yea! I dote upon the study hall when there's nothing else to do. I love to see the football start a-rolling up the score, and every time I hear debate, I love that more and more. And then I love the youngsters who want to know it all, and all the different studies; yes, I love them one and all. But the thing that's lllQSt appealing and that gift that means a lot, is the jolly all-round faculty that East Denver sure has got. SARAH WERNER. 127 �Mr. Reed- Lorraine, speak of private monopolies.

Letter writing is a rather scatter-brained occupation for us eniors at this particular date. ommencement is only two weeks off. v ou know, that day when we don our dress parade attire, fence up our necks in a two-inch collar, put a painful grin on our faces, and wager with ourselves as to whether that printed roll is a diploma of graduation or degradation. We wish you might be with us to enjoy it, though. At the same time, old pardner, we envy your good fortune in being ··aver there" where you are doing real things for us. It would do your neart good to see how the East Denver crowd is backing you and the other ammies who are fighting for Freedom and Christianity. For that matter, every American soul is doing the same good work, but I mention East Denver because I know that you are especially interested in that "old scene of action."

In fact, they're the power behind the throne with about a four to one vote in the Senior class meetings. The subject of femininity naturally draws us to their favorite haunting places. The halls, with their creaking tiles, are still here, and t~e famous nooks 'round the statues and radiators are still infested with uch marta!. as Bri~g , Allen, and Wagner. (In the barbaric language known as f u sers. ) As the professional author says, "time presses," also my civics teacher's finger presses upon my shoulder and demands explanation f01 my "mental absence" from class. Here's to yours and Uncle Sam's luck, and when you grab "Kaiser Bill" give him one good lick for me. Yours for Wilhelm's scalp, ]IM NoLA D. 136 chool, Denver, olo., May 15, 1918. AMMIE: When you get this letter you wtll just open it and proceed to read it without thought of the thought and mental labor (?) it cost me before I decided how to begin. I was first going to start with "Hello, ammie!" but my own name is 'am and I wouldn't want anyone to start a letter to me like that, and as Mr. Pitts rr.ight say, "You would feel the same." You remember Mr. Pitts, don't you? He's a fixture here. o I scratched out "Hello ammie." Then I thought of "Dear ammie." But I've never seen you. If I were a girl it might be different. And then it didn't sound good anyway. So it also died a premature death. Maybe I don't know exactly what that means, but I read it or heard it somewhere and so I annexed it. The next thing that popped up was "Dear Friend ammie," but I discarded that for about the same reason that I discarded "Dear ammie." It seemed to me that the only thing left to do was to compromise and write "Friend Sammie" and I did and it's done and we're going to be, even if we're not. That's a little bit complicated, isn't it? If you don't like that don't tell me so, because it would break my heart for sure to think that all that work had gone for nothing. Here comes the news. Now, listen, I mean look, hard. You might call this History. A few months and some days ago, my fellow students of the Senior class of the East Side High chool brought forth into this school a new preposition conceived in service and dedicated to the idea of giving the school a service flag. A little while ago this flag was presented to the sc~ool. It contains three hundred and sixty-odd stars-three of them gold. Your star was in the upper right-hand corner, fourth row, third column exactly. It was a little larger than the rest, but that was probably a mistake. I'm pretty rank as a historian, eh? I'll have to write in plain, every-day English. I mean "plain" in the way it's unusually used. We look the football championship again this year. West was the only city team that scored on us. When we went up to Colorado prings we sure expected to be beat but "we were determined to do our be t." But we did make that �Springs bunch step. We· tied 'em. Zero and. They had a seventeen-year-old fellow weighing 220 pounds (all fat) playing guard. Our guard just played rings, made him look sick. And now in a couple of days we expect to win the Track Meet. \Ve expect Frank Briggs to win the "mile," but there's a fellow, a orth Hi, named Mathews, that's sure doing some runmng. He ran it in 5 minutes 5 seconds in practice. He won the race last year. North expects him to make a record if Briggs pushes !urn. So do we(Xpect him to make Briggs make a record. Athletics eems to run in the Briggs fam ily. Paul Briggs made all-city half-back and a record in the pole-vault two years ago. Frank Briggs made all-city end this year and is going to m'lke a record in the mile (?) . Harold Briggs, a oph, tied for first in the pole-vault in the Junior Meet. He's only about three feet tall, so he uses his special pole. Each Briggs see;ns to be smaller than the one before. This letter will serve as an introduction. I know you'd rather have an introduction like this letter than one like this: "This is to introduce Sam Laskowitz, a student" (no, that's not right, I'm not we'll just cut that out) " am La kowitz, who goes to the East Side High chool and who is now penning these words." If you're somethmg of a " criptolog1st" maybe you can tell something about me from the way I am "now penning these words." " criptologist" is a word of my own. If you don't know what it means it won't hurt you any. Well, so-long and good luck. If you're not in France I hope you get there, and if you are, I hope you get here. Here's another difficulty. I dcn't know whether to say "Yours respectfully" or "Yours truly," so I'm just leaving it plain. Yours, SAM LASKOWITZ. May I 5, I 91 8. DEAR AMMY: Are you really in camp? It mu t be wonderful to be there with all these magnificent men who are risking their lives to ;Tllke the world afe for Demo~rats. Even If I'm a Republican, I'm strong for the war enyway. Party feeling has got to be forgot in this here war. I've been hearing horrible things about those brave fellows across the sea. Part of it must be true because I heard it from usie impkins who has a cousin who knows the son of the assistant janitor at the Post Office. But I don't believe it anyway even if it does come from such authentic sources. Excuse my speling but I'm so excited at the thought of writeing to a reel soldier that I hardly know what I am doing. It makes me feel almost as if I were in it. I have been mopeing around ever since I got your letter and can not enjoy myself because I think of the sacrifices you got to endure. Gee, ain't it real romantic though, for me to be writeing when I never have saw you? I sure hope some day I'll be able to meet you. It sure will be swell. I can meet you when you come back. Well, I must close now. Almost tearfully I finish thi epi tie bu I am happy I can write some more. Hoping I will hear from you soon, I remain Yours forever, EMILY VIDAL. . S.-I hope you'll forgive that "yours forever" but it just had to come. EMILY. P. S. S.-When you get over soak the kaiser one for me. E. Denver, Colo., May 13, 1918. DEAR AMMY: I am certainly happy to say "hello" to you. I want to congratulate you for having a star on East Denver's ervice Flag. We just know our boys are A o. I soldiers. For an East Denverite may have been a cavalryman in Latin, And have ditched a lot in French, But he is sure to have the kind of pep That makes good in the trench. At present most everyone at East i on his best behavior. We are living in the last quarter. Ditching is almost a lost art. We celebrate it only in memory of you sages of the past ages. We have enlisted in the afety First Regiment a a means of defense. You know what a habit teachers have of keeping on the offensive, and at late hour, such zs the present, when a fellow has already picked out a place to hang his d"ploma, he likes to feel he is on good terms with his superiors, but you have been here and I know you understand all the mysteries of the eleventh-hour reformaticn. Of course I'm not presuming that you had to reform at the Ia t minute, but you know folks who did, don't you, ammy? 137 �choollife seems small compared with being a soldier at the front. Do you like the life in F ranee? How about these pretty French girls? We girls on thi side get a little dizzy when we think of the shiploads of them you boys will be bringing back one of these days. But go right along, Mr. arnmy; we are for you and F ranee at all hazards. But how do I know whether the girl receive any notice from you or not? Perhaps I had better ask Minerva. I don't believe she has tood out there in the hall, all of these year , and watched the girls and boy go by for nothing. Have you ever had a chance to break in on the Huns? When you do, give them a hard rap for me. I am reminded of a story of a Kentucky mountain boy, who had spent his sixteen years running barefoot through the woods. One day his father gave him ten rocks, and said, " onny, go fetch me ten squirrels." When the boy came back he had a hand full of squirrel , but he was crying. "What's the matter, son?" asked the father. " ee this big old tough one," said Johnny, "I had to hit him twice, so I only got nine." Now, if you have to use ten shells on nine Huns, don't cry. One of them may be old Bill himself. Good-bye and good luck. With every wish for your success and a proyer for your safety, I am your loyal friend, GLADYS CROFT. Somewhere in School. DEAR A 1MIE: Let me see-when you left school Ernest iggins was a Junior, believe. Y e , and remember Howard Hart-he certainly has turned out a splendid fellow-no, I'm not partial, not yet. But now don't laugh. But can you recall the happy days with Dorothy Hall and Elizabeth Cornish-the ones you liked w well? They are wearing a sweetheart service pin for you-both of them! Margaret Naive is wearing a Kappa igma pin, so you can't have her-she's gone-but whoever he is I would consider him lucky. Let me think again-register deep thought-you used to go with Lionel Tescher, didn't you? So perhaps you would be glad to know that he promises to make good as an athletic coach for girls. You asked about William Linsemnaier in your last letter, also Charles Bowden and Charles Davis. They are all well and happy as usual. You would know that if you could hear them talk or rather yell 138 at each other. Whew! More noise! The front trench "over there" couldn't b much worse than the noise they can make. We had a big "Liberty Loan" parade a few weeks ago and Helen Beatty and Marian Carter and other girls were holding the service flag at the corners and people threw money into it. Afterward they found that it amounted to $14 or more. That's the way to collect money, ? isn't it? You would be proud to see our cadets-Herbert Cornish and Marvin T rinnier are captains. You know Herb quite well, but Marvin wasn't here when you were around. No wonder they drill well, because Eleanor Fish, F ranee Doyle are the captain sponsors. " nuff" said. We have a wonderful leading man in your old-time friend, Gerald Plettner. It's funny how he ever learned to make love; I know you didn't teach him; but wonders will never cease, and you know he claims himself to be a bachelor! If you ever receive one of our Annuals, look at the drawings by Tom Johnson; he's really a wondrous future-renowned artist from East Denver High chool. This Friday we have our Inter-scholastic Track Meet and I'll tell you all about it-afterward. 1 he same night the boys and men have a mokeless Smoker, but no wo11~n-even though it is smokeless-"we men have to be happy once in awhile"-they say. Tell me all about yourself and all the East Denverites around near you, and tell them all that we have our stars for each one of them and new ones are going on every week. Tell me all about your voyage over there and, oh! just everything and anything. If you wish to know about any of your other friends just mention them and I'll do the rest. Remember me-as ever Your friend, Et IT! I GRISWOLD 1021 E. 23rd Ave , Denver, Colo., April 12, 1918. DEAR "JACK-THE KAI ER KILLER": Once upon a time a nice, well behaved young lady, such as I profess to be, would have been scandalized, expressing it mildly, had anyone dared suggest that she write to an unknown young man. And I have grave suspicions that what the young man would have said upon receiving such a letter would not be printable. But suppose we lay aside all �formalities, as I am in a naughty mood today, and would so love to have a chat with a former East Denvente. You don't mind, do you? There! I knew you wouldn't. Have you ever played baseball? We played outh last Saturday and would you believe it, South won. However, don't for one minute think that we are in the least discouraged. We are not. As usual, East won the championship in football, but now for a shock! Manual won in basketball by only one point. Only one more quarter of school, and such a relief! If you promise never to tell a soul, I'll confide a great secret in you. I am not nearly so enthusiastic about school as I was in the beginning. Of course I wouldn't want my parents to know for the world, and all that is in it, as they are both ambitious for me. If you refuse to be pestered, just say so, and I'll try on someone else, as do my bit I must. I hope you won't, though, for it is no easy task for one of a naturally retiring disposition to take the initiative in such matters. Sincerely yours, EDITH GOLDBERG. East Denver, May 6, 1918. DEAR "SAMMY": How are your affairs doing "over there"? Things at home have been somewhat confused. We have just had a change of dynasty. The prestige of the coal man is completely ruined and the ice man has come into his own. Everything which might even recall to mind the absolutism of the former reign has been banned. "Flivvers" no longer roll to school wrapped in the family possessions, and no smoke will curl from the chimneys at the "smokeless smoker." The whole national costume has been changed. Room 108 is more multihued than several rainbows and many new colors have been added to the spectrum. Furthermore our new ruler has strengthened his position by issuing a new leasf' on life to every single ne of us and a standing invitation to participate in the glories of nature. Our populace has rushed to do homage to the new king, and to accept the proffered invitations. The tennis courts are deluged with the fair sex and gallants. It is a privilege to even be an onlooker. King Track has been reinstated in the province of Union Park. Some robins, sparrows, bluebirds, and others of the winged species hung over the course a few days ago. Their comments were clearly audible, "0, what birds are Shoemaker, Me eal, Allen, Briggs, Phillips, Archey, and Dean." Just then a sparrow became overenthusiastic in trying to imitate T esc her in the pole vault, wheeled com- pletely over and crashed to earth amid the deathly silence. Virginia Bancroft p1cked it up and started it again upon its flight, a sadder but a wiser bird. The whole flock then moved off, indeed slowly, for experience had made them wise to the fact that the swiftness of the Angels could not be equalled. Well, so much for track. If I should attempt to do full justice to the subject rivers of ink would dwindle to small streams and dry up on deserts barren of half the facts. The Seniors realize more and more as graduation nears that they are leaving a faculty more genumely human and conscientious in fulfilling their duties than could be manufactured in the most imaginative brain and the very finest group of under-classmen ever. You may rest assured that East Denver is still the school that you loved when you were a student here, and judging from appearances will always continue to be so. Your friend, ]AMES E. GRIFFITH. Oh, Ye Mea le ! "Go home, go home, little girlie," she says, "And get in your bed so white; Let it never be said that a teacher of thine Hasn't said 'from the Measles take flight.'" For have ye na' heard that in old East ide High The measles are having full sway, And the teachers and pupils are scared of their lives That they'll get them, too, some day? We tremble and shake at the thought of it, now, For one girl, 'twas surely too bad, For the measles did make her so dreadfully sick, And us feel o solemn and sad. I stood at the door of the office one day, And one by one they went in, With a ra h on their face, and an ache in their head, nd I thought what a terrible sin! They went to the desk, and asked if they might Go home; they were feeling so bad, And then Mrs. Arundel straightway uprose, "Go quick to the doctor, my lad!" And so day by day the numbers increase, But still we keep going to school. Till only a few of us soon will be left To learn every lesson and rule. March 18, 1918 MARY WoOLEY. 139 �0 er the Top With You Olive drab ranks of American boys Are marching toward the East, To force on the man with the shriveled soul n international peace. The "sinews of war" provided by U. Have made their courage high, Let us "ring it again," and "halt the Hun," That Liberty may not die. We offered the German people peace, Their kai er rephed with war, Our love they spurned with a challenge of hate, Which we answered from Baltimore. "Force, force to the utmost, force without stint," The words are our President's own; E\'eryone here will be "fighting in F ranee" Who ubscribes to the Liberty Loan. We use hand grenades for our base balls; ew zest has the national game; The Germans are angry and call us " ports," They do not like the same. Have you done your part? Have you bought a bond To uphold your country's might? Or do you belong to the slacker class Who would rather skulk than fight? When flying machines from the English lines Bombed a town of the H un, The guilty populace shrieked as they fled, "The Americans have come!" To "make the world a decent place To live in" is our aim; 'Tis that for which we spend our gold And give our sons to pain. They've just begun to fight; Let us begin to give; The fear of death will leave the world When we have learned to live. The T uscania boys, with courage high, Were heroes to the last, 140 They proved their right to stand and fight With tho e who held the Pass. The ong of hope they ang that night Will echo through the years, "Where do we go from here, Boys, where do we go from here?" Remember the boys now sleeping in F ranee, They have placed their trust in you, Go "over the top" with a liberty bond! "Make all their dreams come true!" BERYL LA KA. The Kaiser 0, up and spake a burly brute, 'Twas at an Italian inn, 0, long may he, der kaiser, live, And may he this war win. Up jumped an English man of strength, And wow, but he was keen! For he picked up a plate of spaghetti And busted it over his bean. The fight did wax both long and loud; The people did shout, Hurray! For there in the midst of a pile of chairs The battered Dutchman lay. I I b. English, 7th Hour. WILLIAM HAMMO D. ILLUS TRAT O RSDE51G N ER.5 AND E-NGRAVERS EXCLU51VE LY ETCHING �• finis HEN we ~ound that writing an editorial was a necessa·y task connected with the editing of an annual, we were filled with consternatiOn. "We" is a smooth word that makes a good start and sounds as if we knew what we were talking about. But we must confess that having studied so ..1e fine models, of exceeding worth, we still tarried at that most important pointthe beginning. We have worked diligently on this Annual and others have gi 1en their unrestrained efforts to make it a success and, also, believe us, we have worked on this, our editorial. We wish to pr sent this book as the best there is in us and as the consummation of the best that is in you. Is this Annual all right? We leave that question to you and we think that almcst everyone will acknowledge all its good points. If some pcss1mistic and dyspeptic natures do not like their share of J:ersonal comment, to those people do we owe our apologies and now we arc shedding bitter tears of regret. But are the editors the ones who would vouch for a personal dam? No! ever! (But that is what makes the book interesting!) owe are grateful to those contributors who so generously handed in some of the cutting remarks. We all appreciate the sn!:pshots-wonder if the ones involved do? Guess not-sometim~s. Excuses are in order, we believe. All right. 'V e have bee1 handicapped, due to the fact, ladies and gentle:nen, that we have had several changes of- what shall we call them, censors or overs~ers and were delayed in getting the Annual published sooner. But Miss Irwin recently took things in hand, therefore we manag:d to get it out finally. Mr. Reed has been with us fro:n A to Z and ras brcught us through all sorts of distressing circumstances, for which we owe him endless homage. Flattery now may be appreciated. Yes? N cw you know we are all rather bashful creatures, even the greatest of us. o one really honors us until after we are dead and gone, but we thou_sht, perhaps, a little of cur conceit could be expressed right now. Someone says "No!" Very well, it's out of order-laid on the t1ble until next meeting. You all must understand that without your co-operation and WJ:port this Annual could not have been published. The "skates" were a grand uccess, due to your loyalty to East Denver (perhaps ycu didn't know tl:e money was for the Annual). Also for your contributions to the joke box and for snapshots, poetry ( ? ) , etc., etc., we give thanks. o you see that without each cne of you to help us, the Annual wouldn't have amounted to much along the lin .s of art and literature. We sincerely hope you will enjoy this book as much as we ha ·e enjoyed the making of it for you. Keep this as a me:nory for the years to come when it will remind you of "the days of long a JO."
