A ggrec; iYcly they have led in ltves of ervice for civic betterment and p ersonal. but unselfi h advancement. Who are some of the alumni who have lived so fully and so well ? The early classes boast an unusual batting average of success. The class of '77 with seven graduates lays claim to distinction in Robert \V. Steele. who \\as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Colorado and General Irving Hale. who rose from a cadet in D . H . S. to Commander of the Colorado troops in the Spanish American War. Mrs. Seraphina Eppstein Pisko, too. is remembered as secretary of the National Jewish Hospital. In the person of Mrs. Carrie Oatman Kistler, Arapahoe School's class of ' 78 has a local Lady Astor, for besides having been a member of the school board. she was temporary speaker of the state house of representatives. Alice Eastwood , internationally known botanist, was in the class of '79 . Elias M . Ammons was graduated forty-five vears ago and later became Governor of Colorado. The last class graduated from the Arapahoe School ( 1881 ) included Earl M . Cranston, who later served as U . S District Attorney. An author, Hugo Meyer, exalts the class of '84. To his facile pen and keen mind many standard books on taxation trace their origin. Graduating from East in '87. Charles R . Slattery has become the Coadjutator Bishop of Massachusetts. Chauncey Thomas. the author, and Frank L. Woodward. President of the Denver Board of Water Commissioners, look to the Angel stronghold as their alma mater. A distinguished family group was graduated: George P. Costigan, '88 , Professor of Law in the University of California; Edward P . Costigan , '92, a member of the National Tariff Commission . and Mrs. Mabel Cory Costigan, ' 92. Vice President of the National Consumers' League. With the class of ' 94 pre ent Congressman William N. Vaile left East. and the next year saw William V . Hodges, now treasurer of the National Republican Committee, in graduation regalia. Professor Tinker of Yale had his humble beginning in the same class, as did Edward J . Boughton , Judge Advocate General on Pershing's staff in the World War. The next five years claim , respectively: Gertrude Vaile. Secretary of State Department of Charities and Corrections ; Judge Ira C. Rothgerber ; J . Fred Farrar. later Attorney Gen era! of Colorado ; Capt. Henry G . S \\'allace of the U . S. Navy, and William Merrill Vories, a missionary in Omi, Japan. [ 8 ] �War c1a1rned many.

BAKI: R Principal, 1875-1892 HAVE been asked for a sketch of the "Denver High School" as I knew it. from September. 1875. to January. 1892. Fifty years' In that time much water has flowed down the Platte and many changes have come to Colorado. to Denver, and to the High School. In 1875. Colorado was still a Territory. "Denver City" had no more than 20.000 people. There were no prominent buildings. no paved streets, only natural sidewalks. and few lawns The High School occupied the upper floor of the Arapahoe School Building. There were 104 pupils including the "First Grammar Grade:" about 60 were of high-school grade. Denver had the only high school in the Territory. Boulder possibly excepted. Since the first graduation was in 1877, there were three classes in 1875-6. It should be recorded that J. H. Freeman was Principal in 1874-5 when there were two classes. and T. H. Baker. in 1873-4. when there was one. Besides the principal there were two teachers. Adele M. Overton and Nannie 0. Smith, names ever remembered. Aaron Gove was superintendent of the Denver schools. able, well equipped, and who did a great work for education in Denver, in Colorado, and in the National Association. One wing of the present building was finished and occupied in January. 1882: the entire structure. in the fall of 1888. It took much argument to secure the completion of the building. Some of the Board claimed it was not needed and never would be filled. And now it is abandoned for a larger. And so we pioneers hail you of the present with your modern equipment and enlarged views of education. May you usc the advantages of your period as well as the earlier generation. more limited. used theirs. X William H. Smiley ~OM£:. years ago the schools of the entire city were dismissed for the after~ noon that teachers and children might attend a mass-meeting at the Aud1toriurn in honor of a citizen who had done eminent public ervi((~ - a unique distinction. This citizen had made no great material gift he had induced no tnurnphant legislation: he had done no deed of sudden valor: all he had done was good, hard, grinding work- twenty-five years of faithful service. The one so honored was \Villiam H . Smilev. That quarter century was p~nt that service was rendered-in Old East. now so soon to be but a memory. [ 9 ] �- [ 10 ] �As teacher , Mr. ~mtley heard the builder's hammer: as principal. he saw the assembly room, once so ample , fill and overfill with ever-changing faces; as Superintendent Emeritus, he now helps plan the school's removal to a greater beauty and a wider usefulness It is not often given to brick and mortar to be so outlived and outserved by man : this, too . is Mr. Smiley's distinction. But Old East is not mere brick and mortar, glass and wood and iron : it is an ideal a set of ideas- ideas of character. of scholarship of culture. of conduct ideas replanted from New England , that garden and nursery of our national intellectual and moral life. These eternal ideals were transmitted by Mr. Smiley to choice thousands to be then broadcasted throughout the na tion These spiritual meanings will live long after the picture of Old East shall have faded from the memory of men : with that high cast of thought will go the name of William H . Smiley. - Dorus R. Hatch . Ave Ac Vale BY HARRY M. BARRI:TT Principal, / 9 / Z-lfJZO t=f FAREWELL to the old building which to many generations of students ~__l and teachers is an integral and inseparable part of East is not easy to write. The m emories throng and choke utterance. An essay written by a student in the old school almost thirty years ago. began with the following quotation : "An old house is like an old violin : the music of the past is wrought into it." So it is with our old house. and the occasion is worthy of commemoration in verse by one of the many boy and girls of East who knew themselves to sing. A time it is like that which called forth "Old Ironsides " There is no building like East in Denver. in Colorado or anywhere in the West. T o a multitude it is as the Boston Latin School was to those who began American history in New England So as we bear our lares and penates to the new and beautiful habitation on the hill let us lift our voices once more about the old school for the last time in Hail. Fast Denver . Ace ac uale hail and farewell : The Spirit of East B' ROSCOE C. HI LL n Pmw pal / 92 0 AIL : Hail : to the Spirit of East Denver. that spirit which has made itself manifest in the lives and achievements o f the graduates and former stu dents of this grand old school. To know and to feel that spint is to love tt . It impels those who arc here. teachers and pupils alike to push on ward to greater things The challenge comes to u across the years to carry on in our best way . to maintain the \\.' Orthy traditions of Old East in scholarship. in school -citizenship. in school activities and in service after school days have passed We look forward gratefully to the opportunities of an expanded life in the new building. There we hope to transfer the Spirit of Old East. increa ing its influence in the community. To the loyal alumni we pledge our best effort and dedicate the future to the happy task of making. if possible. the spirit of East greater and finer than when we recetved it. I 11 l �I 1~ 1 �FA, c [ 13 I �Mr. John Bre'Wer Garvin J-c:< HE death of Mr. Garvin on July 4, 1924, was a grievous blow to all his \...) former pupils and a sociates When we returned to old East at the beginning of the year in September many of us found tears in our eyes and in our voices a we told each other how much we missed John. John B. Garvin came to East Denver High School a teacher of chemistry in January. 1892. He was born in Morri town, St. Lawrence county, New York. and graduated from the University of Illinois in 1886. He was instructor in chemistry in the chool of Mines at Golden before coming to Denver. He was connected with East for thirty-two and a half years, except for one year when he was principal of South ide High School. During all the c years Mr. Garvin maintained a high tandard of scholarship in his cla ses. and sent his students to college fully prepared to continue their work in chemi try. He wa never a hard ta kma ter and his kindly sympathy and ready helpfulness made ea ier the road of learning for many a student. He eemed to understand. too. the peculiar difficulties confronting the new teacher, to whom he was alway ready to give sympathetic advice. He was ever willing to give help with the many problems that arise in the classroom. But hi helpfulne s to his fellow ·teachers was not confined to this. For more than twenty years he made a careful study of the cost of living and of teachers' salaries throughout the country. l argely as a result of the publicity which he gave to these studies. we now have a salary schedule which compares very favorably with any in the country. Mr. Garvin was a charter member of the High Schlol Men's Guild and took an active part in all its discus ions for the betterme.\t of school conditions. He was for many years a member of the Colorado School Masters Club and a life member of the Colorado Educational Association. contributing much to the interest of their meetings. His influence was always exerted to raise the ethical as well as the material standards of his chosen profession for which he had so great a love. - E. \Vaite Elder.

Even as you and I. they have jousted with and do\\ ned the terrors of the sophomore year, personified by proportional polygons, Benjamin Franklin's maxims and Cc:csar's marching legions. Perhaps they are no more studious than other beginning classes who have inhabited the third floor before them. but their class meetings impress even the most casual observer with their orderliness, dignity and live-wire spirit held under perfect control. Rallies staged exclusively by these youngsters have bid as fair to split the discolored walls of the creaking auditorium as any class pep convention that ever gathered there. They have done a little "pioneering" too, and set a precedent for other sophs in that the class of '27 is the first below the juniors to have been organized throughout the entire school year. On the morning of October eighth the new arrivals at East met in their stronghold, the auditorium, and cast their ballots for president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, sergeant-at-arms and councilmen. Tom Carse received the presidency honors and the class also elected Watson Bowes. vice-president: Norman Smith. treasurer: Jack Davi . secretary. and Frank Ayers. "bouncer" to aid him m his executive work. Koburn Kidd . Helen Stanage. Kenneth Montgomery and Helen Bryan were sent as soph representatives to the council. This quartet proved to be zealous and active counolors. taking part in the policing of the halls and in organizing the short-lived AllCity Council. The members of this cla s also made notable invasions into the local athletic and literary circles. Many of the Woodbury and Wolcott preliminary entrants proudly bore the numeral '27; and. led by the ginger-crowned Pete Middlemist, large contingents of the class tried out for all teams. not a few making regular berths. Well begun is half done, they say. and if it be true. the class of '27 has already contributed a part of their large share to enhance the name of East. May the rest of their work add as much glory to the first years of the new building as their first achievements have to the last days of the old. -Eugene Duffield. [ 71 I �[ 72 ] �[ 73 ] �~ HE poor little freshmen are few in number. but a noted prophet has pre\ . . ) dieted a rosy future for them. ''Next September a force of children gathered from some of the junior high nurseries will come and join forces with our own noble infants, and this united force will elect their head guard and will pass the year bringing forth prodigies in books. athletics, debating, and singing. " Then the next year I see these same people, who were considered infants the year before, tread a little more heavily, display a little less hilarity in passing through the halls, stop throwing spitballs, and learning a little better how to get by without studying. In this way I see them pass through their junior year "But lo ! I see still another vision. I see these people, who are at present the infants of the freshman class, walking about the halls with that bored, worldly-wise expression by which a dignified senior may be recognized imm diately. I see them walking to class, and I see the teachers cower before the intensity of their boredom. And then I see the teachers when they receive this answer. 'Really, you know I found myself unable to study this beastly subject last night,' turn hastily to their roll - book in that frightened way of theirs, and I hear them say, 'Oh. that's perfectly all right. and forgive me for arousing you from your peaceful sleep. I 'll give you an A today.' " Yes, truly , I see that the class of 1928 is a mighty one." [ 74 ] �ACUI[Y[M[NTS r ;s J �Baseball -t.:)'UR the ·e ond time in the 1 21 - 24 Denver Boulder conferencr an Angel team brought home the bacon \.vhen the fla hy East nine. without a single defeat. walked off with the baseball pennant for 1924. J-1 March weather. snowy and wet. somewhat hindered the Schweiger activities; but with Captain Jones. Chapman. Lutz. Shull. Van Buskirk. and Laverty as veterans. a string of green recruits, and three weeks to get in trim, th~> coach had little difficulty in molding a championship team. In the first game. the Angels nosed out their closest rivals. North. 6-5. by " spirited ninth inning rally. South was th\! next victim and came out on the short end of a 14-7 score. The feature of the West game was the splendid pitching of Ray Kosofsky. Sent in to relieve Shull at the beginning of the seventh inning. Kosofsky struck out eight of the nine men facing him. Not a man reached fir t in the last three innings, and East took a 11-8 victory. With 18 runs in their favor and allowing only one Boulderite to cross the pan the Angels took another win. this time against the Preps. The Bricklayers, by slamming out three runs in the ninth. attempted to stop East's race for the pennant. but were finally downed 9 to 5 by Shull. lanky south-paw. and East took another game. In the second round of play. East lassoed the Cowboys. 13-8. and again romped on North to the tune of 6 to 4. thus winning the baseball championship without a blot on the record. Cobe Jones was the unanimous selection of the coaches for third base on the all-conference team. Lutz was chosen as catcher, Kosofsky as pitcher. Van Buskirk at first base. and Treichler in right field. thus making East the repre· sentative school in the all-conference nine. On the second team East placed Ballard in center field and Chapman in right field. The following men made their letters: Lutz. Shull, Kosofsky. Treichler, Van Buskirk. De Pue. Cartwright. Gillard. McGinnis. Shubart, Chapma Capt. Jones. Ballard. Pitt . Mil stem. Laverty. and Sickman. manager. -Robert Gordon. r 76 1 �il �Track NE-HALF of one point was the narrow margin by which the Angel track team lost to the North D enver Vikings in the Denver-Boulder scholastic track meet, held at Overland Park on May 17, 1924. East's wonderful showing on the track could not quite make up for North 's superiority in field events, the Angels scoring 3 4 r~ points to the Vikings 35 . South was third with 28 T 2 points, Manual fourth with 20 points, and \Vest fifth with 19 7 2 points. Boulder Preps fini bed last with only 13 T~ points. O The greatest upset of the day came when the Angel relay team , composed of Dale Richards. Cobe Jones. Morey Roberts, and Don Skaer, walked away from the South team, doped as sure winners, in the relay race. In the dashes. Richards took third in the hundred , and Skaer placed fourth in the two-twenty. Morey Roberts added another five points to East's total when he won the 440yard run ; while Dick DesJardins copped fourth in the 880-yard run , being barely nosed out for third place by Trost of Boulder. Dope ran true to form in the mile when Captain Lloyd Bagnell and Vincent King finished first and second respectively. John Shiner placed fourth in the 120-yard high hurdles, while Bus Loucks finished third in the 220-yard hurdles. In field events, East did not fare so well, Franklin Pulver capturing the only first for East when he tied with Holbrook of Boulder in the high jump Ray Shiner tied for second place in this event with five other contestants. In the broad jump, Richards and McGinnis placed second and fourth respectively. Ves Brown hurled the discus into second place. The following men received letters in track: Captain Bagnell, King, Skaer, Roberts , J. Shiner, D esJardins, Jones, Loucks, R. Shiner, P ulver, Mv Ginnis. Brown. and Richards. The last five mentioned are back to perfor on the cinder paths for East in 1925 . I 78 I �r 1n 1 �Football l=( FTER winning the football championship of the Denver-Boulder league ~__l for the second consecutive time, the East Denver football team wa forced to relinqui h the title when the athletic board of control decided to award no championship for 1924 due to technicalitie involving players from nearly every high school in the conference. The first of disputes came when Boulder Preps were forced to forfeit all games except that with South because they broke a conference rule in scrimmaging with the Colorado Varsity. The South game with Preps occurred befor~ this offense and therefore remained in the standings. Then, because an incltgible man played throughout the season, North was forced to forfeit all their game , thus throwing East, Manual and West into a t1e for first place. Complications also arose over a West player; hence it wa unanimously decided that no championship be awarded. Starting the season with nine lettermen, Coach Schweiger molded a team that lost its first game to the Greeley Wildcats, state champs, by the score of I '3 to 0. Following this East dropped a 24 to 0 game to Fort Collins. Trekking to Boulder for the first conference game, East lost to Preps, 6-0, on a fluke. The Angels made 4 2 5 yards to Preps' 57. and 14 first downs to their opponents' 3. This game, however, was thrown out. Playing the best game so far, East drubbed the Manual Bricklayers. strong contenders for the title, to the tune of 7 to 0 before a record-breaking crowd. With Middlemist, Richards and Lutz carrying the brunt of the attack, the Angels marched down the field for a touchdown in the first quarter, Middlemist carrying it over. The final gun prevented another Angel score when it went off with East on Manual's five-yard line. The biggest upset of the year came when "Red" Curll, plucky Cowboy quarter, booted a field goal to send East to a 3-0 defeat. After kicking the goal, Curll was carried off the field unconscious, but his mates succeeded in staving off defeat despite the frantic efforts of East. One of the biggest stars of the year made his debut in the South game 1 the person of Dick Johnson, who dazzled the Rebels with his marvelous broken field running. He was mainly responsible for the 13-0 defeat handed South, but the entire team played good ball, with Middlemist, Lutz. Richards, Loucks and Ves Brown starring. A pass, l\.1iddlemist to Loucks, accounted for the first score, while Dick Johnson added another in the last half. For the fourteenth straight time, the Angels vanquished the Vikings in the last game of the year. East outplayed the Norsemen the entire game but managed to score only two points in the first half, via the safety route.

Besides making an exceptionally commendabl<> showing during the campaign the Angels tied with orth and South for second place in the Denver Boulder league basketball race. Boulder Preps took :t steady stride to the championship and finally emerged with the cage honors. The high chool over the hill had one of those teams an institution can hope to produce but once 1n a decade. Taking this into con ideration the Red and White color bearers had a glorious cason filled with thrills and plenty of excitement. After completing its schedule 1n the conference the I:.asterners took • Jaunt to the intermountain basketball tournament. sponsored by the University of Colorado. There. too. the Angels shone. Last opened it '2 5 campatgn at Boulder against the Preps The game was one of the best of the year. Both teams fought with everything the1r coaching and experience had given them. It was a battle of battles. Boulder finally emerged with a hard-fought three-point triumph The score was 14 to 11. On the Saturday following East met Manual High in the first game of the weekly cage matinee at the Manual training gymnasium and when the smoke had cleared away and a number of Coach Schweiger's second string men left the court of combat the Angels had the better of 27 to 13. This was an easy victory. one that started the Bricklayers on their trip to a cellar berth in the league competitions. Prior to East's first game the South high school scored one of its most phenomenal victories of the season, trimming the Boulder Preps. 3 6 to 2 5 for the Boulderites' only defeat of the season. For a while it even looked as if South might win the championship-and East with one loss to the Preps and a win over Manual was scheduled to meet the Rebels two weeks after the Thunderbolt-Angel party~ While the experts were trying to dope it out-"the probable outcome of the East-South game"-Coach Sweiger's quintet had taken another step towards league honors by decorating the \Vest Cowboys with a 21 to 12 trouncing There is nothing to tell of that game. The score speaks for itself. Then approached the show to which the enthusiasts had been looking forward. Every seat was filled: not an inch of standing room was to be obtained in the Manual gym as the hour approached for the East-South game. The teams took the floor and for several minutes during the first half the score see-sawed. The rooters were crazed with excitement. the very walls of that great brick building expanded and contracted as the teams battled on The first half ended 19 to 17. After a half of competition which was not equalled by any previous game in the league the Angels emerged from the battle with the Red and White fluttering over a 33 to 23 victory. To say that things looked as though nothing could stop East on its trip to the throne would be putting it lightly. Enthusiasm reigned supreme in the Angel school. East with three wins and one loss was bound to win! - And herein enters the villain North high was the next opponent. The Vikings had an excellent team, but East had held the Jinx over the r 3 1 �ortherns for more than fourteen year ; certainly that meant somethtng- so reasoned the Angel The game wa clo ely conte ted as far as East 's fighting Angels were concerned but the boys from Ea t way couldn't get a good start. They trailed behind orth at the half. made a remarkable comeback several minutes before the game ended. and then- it appeared as tho the Jinx which had kept its hold on orth turned its wrath and attacked the Easterners. The game ended 22 to 18 in favor of the Norsemen. Two Saturdays later North and East came together for another game. Inasmuch as only four teams were left in the second round of play the schedule so resolved itself that the two teams had to meet in a second contest. East made a spectacular comeback and scored a 23 to 1 9 victory over the Vikings. The second game truly proved the superiority of the Angel basketeers over their North rivals. Captain Lutz and his teammates completely outplayed and outclassed the Vikings in the second meeting. Boulder Preps won a 27 to 23 game from East in the latter part of the season. This was a good exhibition and prettily played but the fates had not decreed that the better of the affair be ceded the Easterners. Morton Thorp won a unanimous choice for standing guard on the 1925 All-Conference basketball team. Captain Aaron Lutz and Dale Richards were unanimously selected guard and forward, respectively, on the second All-Conference team. Both honor quintets were selected by the six coaches in the Denver-Boulder league. East lost two games to the Ogden, Utah, high school, 28 to I8, and 26 to I9 and won a sweeping 3 3 to II victory over Fleming in the Intermountain tournament at Boulder, several days after completion of competition in the Denver-Boulder league. Pete Middlemist was elected basketball captain of East for 1926. -Abe Gertz. I '4 J �[ 5 ) �Tennis l1 ED by Archie Bosworth, premier high school tennis player. East copped every possible tennis honor in the fall of 1924. City championships in singles and doubles , and a state singles championship were the pnze~ won by B osworth and his partner. Dan Bare.

Th~ sophs indicated that they had a strong team from the first and fully deserved the honor title. All six games were played on the grounds outside the building. The opening game gave the underclassmen an early start when they easily defeated the juniors. The seniors downed the sophs for the first and only time in the second game of the season. The third encounter. between the juniors and seniors, gave another victory to the upperclassmen. In the next two games the juniors scored a victory over the seniors and bowed again to the sophomores. The last and deciding game, between seniors and sophomores. was by far the most exciting of the season. The outcome was an uncertainty from the beginning of the game. A final run in the last half of the last inning gave the victory to the sophs with a one-point lead. The outstanding playing of Martha Locke, Helen Ruck and Florence Allison was a big factor in the winning of the title. In the junior team , Betty Merrick and Mabel Locke showed up well , while for the seniors. Freda Munz and Clara Hardin were the stellar performers. All three classes were well represented in thi branch of girls' athltic activities. The future looks particularly bright for the sopohmorcs with two more years ahead and splendid chances for two additional championships. The sophomore were well captained by Helen Ruck : the juniors. by Alice Dewey, and the seniors by Elaine Carlson. Mi mith refereed all the games. -Mary Louise Shelleneberger. 7 ' �Girls Volleyball J-c< HE Senior girls have proved their ability in volleyball and have carried away the honors for the championship of '25. This was accomplished with four victories to their credit and not a single defeat. The Sophomores came next in line, with two games lost and two won. The Juniors proved to be a formidable barrier for any team, but seemed to be handicapped with a streak of bad luck. V The next to the last game, between the Juniors and Sophomores was, perhaps. one of the most exciting, the score being a tie at the tenth point of the third game, when the Sophs gained another point and the victory. The Seniors had a hard time downing the Sophs in the last game, but finally, by steady, consistent playing. brought their colors shining through. The greatest factor of the Senior team. their unbreakable spirit, was kept at its high mark by their able leader. Mary Ruth Tunnel. to whom much of the honor is to be given. Credit should also go to Bernice Bunte and Betty Merrick for their remarkable playing. Virginia Close was the valiant pilot of the Juniors. while the Sophomores were captained by Ivlartha Locke. Approximately eighty-five girls came out for volleyball this year. and f\bout fifty made their letters. fourteen being seniors. The interest in volleyball is steadily increasing. having made considerable progress since last year, and It will oon be one of the foremost of girls' activities. - Mary Louise Shellenberqer. [ 8. ] �Girls Basketball J-c:< HE Senior Girls basketball team came through the inter-class tournament undefeated, winning their second athletic championship. Five games were scheduled in the inter-class tournament, held in the Y. W. C. A. gym: and a team picked from the whole squad twice played teams from other high schools in games scheduled for the purpose of selecting referees for interscholastic meets throughout Colorado. The Sophomores lost the first two games; to the Juniors by a 20-13 score, and to the Seniors, 51-2. In the first game they played the Juniors even for the first half but gradually yielded in the latter part of the game. In the second encounter the Seniors completely smashed the Sophs' hopes and downed them entirely. The Sophs put up a peppy fight but tagged at the heels of the upperclassmen during the entire game. Nellie Brunt and June Siems played excellent games for the Sophs. The third game put the Seniors ahead when they downed the Juniors, handing them the small end of a 4 3-19 score. At no time was their victory in any danger. Martha Locke was the high scorer for the Juniors, aided greatly by Mae Sharp in center. Bernice Bunte and Alice Dewey played an excellent game for the upperclassmen. The fourth game between the Sophs and Juniors eliminated the underclassmen from the race. It was a hard -fought game, tense with excitement. but the Juniors held the upper hand to the final whistle. The score was 31 - 14. Ruthanna Eames and Marian Smith. the snappy little Soph guards. materially helped their team . The last and deciding game gave the cason 's victory to the Seniors when they defeated the Juniors for a second time. score 23 - 15 . The Juniors baffled the leaders for a time in a third quarter rally but could not overcome the champs. Virginia Close played a stellar part in the Junior performance. The Senior guards , Mabel Locke and Mary Ruth Tunnel. were outstanding tars. The enior squad was capably led lo its victory by Betty Merrick. to whom much of the credit should be given . Helen Hecox captained the Juniors and Muriel Mills. the Sophs. Miss Smith refereed the games.

She was presented with first prize, a medal and a set of Bryce's "American Commonwealth." In her essay she stressed four points: personal integrity, obedience, service, and work of striving to better the life of a nation.

The speaker then selects one subject and is allowed one hour in which to organize his talk. Musical selections from the various high schools entertained the audience during the intermission, the Girls' Sextette of East rendering two very pleasing numbers. [ 93 ] �Debate ~ ALLYING after having been defeated in their initial clash in the State ~ Debating League's Tournament by the silver- tongued trio from l\1anitou , the East Denver debaters won decisive victories over the powerful Boulder Prep and Wheatridge teams before the visiting orators from Burlington van quished the Ea terners and squelched bright hopes for a tate championship. After their elimination Angel teams defeated and were defeated by aggregations from Denver University. Throughout all the contests in the State Debate League the same ques tion : " Resolved: That the United States should enter the World Court subject to the Harding reservations," was discussed. and up to the fatal fracas with the Burlington delegation the East arguers had always upheld the affirmative side In the two D. U. debates the question was : " Resolved: That the United States Congress should have the power to annul Supreme Court decisions by a twothirds vote." East pre en ted the affirmative side in the fir t contest. which they won, and the negative tn the second , which wa won by D . U . In the State League debates except the Wheatridge affair Ea t's contingent consisted of William Morrison . winner of the Woodbury in the ' 24 and head boy : Francis Reich, senior president; and Harry Shubart. president of enate. all veterans of East's '24 campaign in the tate League. Due to his work on the Kiwanis contest William Morri on was forced to withdraw from the Wheat ridge fray and his place was ably filled by his alternate. John Fellow . The team that conquered D . U. fro h later in the cason was composed of Louis Isaacson . John Fellows and Kenneth Montgomery. Casper Hegner Koburn Kidd and Edward Cartwright made up the second group to face the collegians from the Pioneer cho ol. In these two d ebates the decision was ren dered by a vote of the audience. A large measure of the succes of the teams was due to the able coaching of Miss Garrett , assisted by Mr. David Koger. - Eugene Duffield. l 94 I �[ 95 ] �[ 96 J �~ HE "0" Club points with pride to its achievements of the past year. \..) Act1v1tics varied. banquets with songs and speeches. dances. the gayest of all the year. a beefsteak fry on Lookout Mountain. and weird black nights and strange doings with splintered paddles made up the program of the club. The football banquet. when the club played host to the entire football squad. was the biggest one ever held. It was held at the Metropole just after the season closed. It was at this banquet. as a result of impromptu vocal sclec rions by various members. that the famous "0" club double quartette was organized. Our next important affair was a football subscription dance at Progress Hall. This dance lived up to the '0" Club reputation for excellence and like the spring subscription dance at the Coronado Club was largely attended. The annual private dinner-dance took place at the Mt. Vernon Country Club. This was a lavish affair with soft lights and dreamy music, where one's best girl smiled her sweetest smile. In spite of these successes, however, we feel that more has been accomplished in the strengthening of that bond of fellowship which has always been so characteristic of the "0" Club. It is in the scheme of things that little failings are overlooked; the fact that one is a "0" brother covers everything. It could hardly be otherwise. Long hours of practice, weeks of training, bring out the good or bad in a fellow and the "0" men are the ones who won. There is no finer spirit than that of the "0" Club-Brothers All. -Paul Treichler. MEMBERS William Chapman (Bill), President Olin Van Buskirk (Olie), Vice-Pres.

All this is sponsored by the Sports Club. We have three interesting initiations a year and our meetings are taken up with the study of " First Aid " and the history of the various sports. Our little club is only four years old. but we are well known throughout the school. We helped the "D" Club in sponsoring the Welfare Fund this year and helped make it a big success. We also sponsor swimming and tennis in the school. Once a week the girls swim at Morey Junior High. Every fall a tennis tournament is held for the girls and the winner is given a little red " D " Though the club's aim is to further girls' athletics. we not only think of this but also are prominent in the other activities of the school. The officers of the club for 1924-1925 are: Alice Dewey, president; Mary Louise Shellenberger, vice-president and " Head of Sports"; Betty Merrick, secretary; and Bernice Bunte, treasurer. The club has a sponsor that surely makes the club a success. She is none other than our popular teacher, Miss Smith. - Betty Merrick. Le Cercle Daudet " l 1 E CERCLE DAUDET" began its most successful year with much enthusiasm and interest, and many promising French men and women applied for admittance. Immediately a council of the officers, Barbara Custance, president; Josephine Bennett, vice-president; Gail Livesay, treasuser; and Howard Van Zant, secretary, was held. To initiate these people into the mysteries of "Parlez-vous francais ?" a delightful rendezvous was held in the form of a parrot breakfast, during club period. French bread and chocolate, mixed with much jabbering. served to formally welcome the foreigners into our midst. Our next propo ition was entertainment, which devolved upon our most capable program committee · Alice de Ia Vergne, Harriet Rice, and Ethel Bliss. This committee drew up the plan of dividing the club into groups, an officer at the head of each. These groups were to give the program. the best receiving a reward . This plan has worked excellently and very interesting entertainment resulted . Our mid -year party was a great success and all who attended had a fine time. We played games and danced. But best of all were the eats, which made a happy ending to the festivities. The .next and biggest affair of the year will be the annual luncheon , to be given at the Mctropolc Hotel The committee in charge consists of : Betty Taylor, chairman ; Eleanor Bean , Mary Alice Elliott and Gretchen Harry. They have planned an interesting program. A great deal of credit is due to our ponsor, Miss Wilson, who has worked hard and patiently. The club has also been very fortunate in having an assistant sponsor. Mrs. Combs, who has be n very helpful and inspiring to us. We wish a very happy and prosperous year to our successors. -Barbara Custance.

Sounds persist not only in Mother Goose rhymes but in every spot where there is life; and can you imagine anything more pleasing, or more rare. than the sound of a girl's well -modulated voice raised in purposeful argu ment? Diana perhaps has never before had such a successful year, probably because of the staunch support of the club sponsor. Miss Hunter. The Society was kept small so that each member might have more opportunity for individual development and the plan proved eminently successful. The topics for debate were selected by the girls themselves and nearly all of them dealt with subjects that were attractive and practical. The officers of the club- Kathryne hannon. pre ident : Grace Miller. vice-president: Elizabeth Wille. secretary : Charlotte Heitler. treasurer- proved themselves capable executives and were all re-elected for the second term. Diana did her utmost in supporting the \Velfare Fund . and has always tood ready to help any school activity. The first social event of Diana's year was an initiation and theatre party ; the second will probably be a Pirate Party given at the home of a club member. During the entire year. twenty new members were received into the club.

U ~~er he~ we studied, learning the fundamentals of news. feature and ed1tonal wntmg w1th eyes ever fixed on our goal. the Spotlight. Then we served our apprenticeship under the staff of ' 24, and their example of devotion . labor and sacrifice fired us with a great determination to give our best as they gave theirs, and make in our turn our contribution to the higher traditions of the paper and the school. We werE' taught the sacredness of a trust which would some day be vested in us. We were shown the sacrifice that would be demanded of us. We did not flinch . Then came a time whe.n that " some day" arrived and on us was the burden of responsibility. All the " cocksureness" deserted us and our prayer was that we might not besmirch the high precedents of ethical and practical journalism left us by those who had gone before us. So we shut our eyes and dove. Still we dove a little farther and deeper than the others had done, for we added a column to the size of the sheet, adopted a more professional type for headlines and printed the journal on real news paper. Thus, not knowing whether our work compared favorably with that of the staff of ' 23 , who won the state championship. or the staff of ' 24. who barely lost it by one-half of one per cent, we continued to do the best we knew how throughout the first half year. Finally came the announcement of the Annual Editors' Conference at Boulder on November 21-23 and on that date we journeyed up state just as other East editors before us had done. wondering if we would win as great laurels as had our predecessors. Three days of conferences and suspense, and then "The cup for the best high school newspaper in the West goes to the East Denver Spotlight." That after already winning the loving cup for the best in the state and five prize ribbons. Two loving cups, signifying the championship of Colorado and the West, and five ribbons. That was more than any previous staff had achieved. \Ve had indeed proved worthy, had reached a new high mark, had come to a glorious climax. But after the first flush of triumph had died away we saw that it wasn't a climax, for we had merely earned a reputation and still had the much more serious business of maintaining it before us. So we retur.ned to work with determination, humming a song of joy. As results, W?. point to the colorful Christmas issue with its novel supplement, the roman tic girls' issue, the April Fool number with its foot-high headlines and the senior edition with its myriad of cuts. And now we wish to thank the school for its hearty support, which has made this the paper's biggest financial year, the faculty for its co-operation. and the office especially for its encouragement. To the loyal staff members the heads are heavily indebted. We thank the past editors-Ray Oglesby. Cass Hendee and Paul Osborne- for the inspiring examples they have left us. Our thanks and respect for our sponsors- Miss Chambers and Miss Fisher- we can neither express nor repay. Their work and aid is exceeded only by their self-sacrifice. - Eugene Duffield.

With a membership limited to seventy-five. Drama was able to accomplish much in the regular bi-monthly programs and at the special outside affairs. Among these were a tea in honor of Miss Cleary, former sponsor. a George Washington dance in the gym and an impromptu dance after the first production of one-act plays. The interest of the club was concentrated on actual dramatics and several one-act plays and one three -act play were successfully given under the inspiring direction of Miss Ross. the sponsor. Some of the most popular plays presented were " The Trysting Place," " Overtones." The Brink of Silence," " The Lady Loses Her Hoop. " " The Twelve Pound Look, " and " The Chatterbox." Some of the programs were put on at club hour for the benefit of those not belonging to clubs. Admission was charged at the evening performances and all the money in the treasury is to be used in the purchase of equipment for the stage at the new East High School. Much unsuspected ability was unearthed at the initiations when new members were required to perform extemporaneously. The people who were privileged to see these try-outs will not soon forget the spectacle of tiny Anna Graham on her knees eloquently proposing to the lengthy Mr. John Payne, tallest boy in school. Officers of Drama Club were Virginia Brown . president : Francis Reich. secretary; Dicksie Brown, treasurer : and June Strong, chairman of the program committee. - Virginia Brown. The Tw-o Arts Club O OLLOW me through another chapter of East's book of activities. that one ART. Art is an es entia! element in the production of beauty, and without it there would be nothing beautiful. Art has to be developed and this is what the Two Arts Club is doing. The club was organized for the sole purpose of developing higher standards in art and art appreciation. Two Arts is not only composed of East Denver's budding young artists, but also of those who seek the love and appreciation of art in any form . We are made to see the beauty of art not only in an oil painting, but also in music, textiles and architecture. Robert Garrison, Denver artist, told us of murals and sculpture. and Robert Graham brought before us in oil and pastel the work that has made him famous, while Mrs. Clara Sorensen Dieman transformed a bit of clay into a head of a beautiful woman before our very eyes, and our own Mrs. 0 . L. Combs told us in vivid word pictures of art in her own beloved France. Two Arts gave the whole school a delightful time at its annual social hour. These are always unique and "somethi.ng new." Those who commanded the club through this successful year are : President, Dorothy Runyon : vice-president, John Harley: secretary, Henry Lail. treasurer, Lourine Crumley; sergeant-at-arms, Dick Young. - Ruth Gwynne Jenkins. .J.__1 which is about the most important factor in life- r uo J �l 111 I �I 112 I �Golf Club ~ HE Golf Club. the first of it ktnd to be organized in a O ... nver high school. \.....) was tartcd Ia t fall for the purpose of promoting greater interest in the game and hdping all boys int re ted.

Several sophomores of great promise in debate. as well as a number of juniors. assure success in the future of Senate. Raymond Reeves. Gordon Slatkin. Cortland Parks, Walter Schmidt, and Loren Blackmore form part of the undcrclass group who show high possibilities for future prominence. Harry Shubart has been the leader of Senate for the past two yt>ars. No small part of the success of the club has been due to his untiring efforts. Lester Cowan and William Lester have proven able assistants as vice-presidents. Fred King. Recorder. Solomon Kauvar, Historian ; Victor Harvey, Secretary, and Emmett Hcitler. Treasurer, have played their part in the maintenance of the club in commendable style. William Lester and Lester Cowan, Chairmen of the membership committee, and Fred King . chairman of the entertainment committee. handled their responsibilities successfully. Oratory and debate have received marked support from Senate. Three members of the school debating squad were taken from Senate ranks. Harry Shubart and John Fellows participated in debates of the State Debating League, in which East made a meritorious showing Louis Isaacson and John Fellows were members of the team that defeated D. U . Freshmen in a debate held at the University. Harry Shubart was in the Woodbury. He also represented East in the National Oratorical Contest, but took only second place. being surpassed by Arthur Wuth of North, winner of the Kiwanis. Dan Feder, a prominent member of Senate is now assistant editor of the Spotlight. Solomon Kauvar, John Fellows and Harry Shubart also :figure prominently in this department. Lester Cowan.

Robert Young. viceprcstdcnt : and Joe Gowdy. secretary and trca urcr In 1923 the Engineering Club and the ons of Science combined and called the new club the Science Club. The object of the club is to promote interest in science and to give information to those expecting to follow some branch of applied cicnce. The S<"ience Club has been very fortunate in hearing talks by prominent men in the city and by teachers and pupils. It has been the aim of the club to have talks on different subjects so that all members will remain interested . Some of the subjects discussed were geology. mining. the atomic theory and assaying. A very interesting illustrated lecture was given on the subject of photography to the members of the Science Club who had as their guests the Wonder Club. At meetings where no special speaker has been provided, topics of general interest are discussed. Early in the year the club did its share in the drive for the Welfare Fund. On this day a radio receiving et and amplifiers were installed in the lower hall and the advertising was done in this way. The membership of the club is at the present time about sixty, and is re stricted to those who are interested in science and have had mathematics and sCience. A great deal of credit for the success of the club is due to Mr. Bliss. the sponsor. who is always looking out for the welfare of the club. \lJ --John Srmpkins. Radio Club J-c< HE Radio Club was organized at the first of this year under the able U sponsorship of Mr. Bliss. Mr. Bliss is well known in other activities of East Denver's scientific circles. Every member is very much interested in radio and all meetings are peppy with discussions of both transmitting and receiving. Several member ar(' licensed "hams" and others arc BCL's outfitted with sets ranging from crystal sets of local range to superheterodynes with five thousand mile range. This interest shows a good promise of coming years full of activity in the new East, along with advance in the technical radio line. We have one faculty member besides the popular Mr Potter on the roll of the club. This man. who i fairly well known around the vicinity of East High . is Roscoe C . Hill . We have devoted one whole period to helping our devoted brother- member Hill to decide which radio he wi hes to buy . and also to make him somewhat acquainted with radio term . Our be t public accompli hmcnt thi year has been the reception of President Coolidge's inaugural addre s on March fourth . \Ve spared neither trouble nor expense to obtain five of the finest sets on the market with powerful amplifiers. in order to make the speech heard by C\'ery pupil in the school.

Since that time the baby of the literary family at East has done nothing to erase that smile from old East's face. Junto has grown rapidly and. although only three years old, has all the characteristics of a full-grown club. She started on her third year with Lois Coleman. president; Georgine Fraser. vice-president; Helen Hecox. secretary: Geneva Harvey. treasurer; and fifty memebrs to carry out her purpose. which is to promote interest in literature. And then to guide all these. there is Miss Beynon. friend and admirer. A soon as the club was well organized under the new officers. thirty ne'>' members were selected from the three upper classes. On November the fifteenth the girls and several teachers gathered at the Shtrley-Savoy for their annual party. This luncheon owed its great success to the chairman of the committee, Dorine Treat. At Christmas time the girls showed the true holiday spirit by sending a Christmas dinner to a poor family. In April the club gave a dance for the members and their friends. which \\as a fitting conclusion to a successful year. Margaret Payne was chairman of the committee The Junto girls of '25 leave with regret but they know that their sucres ors will see that the new Ea twill always be proud of Junto just as the old East has been.

Besides the formal meetings there have been many "playtimes"-a wienie roast at Washtngton Park. pageants, banquets and conferences. Two conferences have taken place since eptember. One was in October at the Lookout Camp for Cabinet members and the other at the "Y" the thirteenth and fourteenth of February. About 250 girls from all parts of Colorado attended these and twenty-five of the out of town girls stayed with East Denver Girl Reserves. Much work for the Girl Reserves ring which is earned by two years' work has been accomplished by many of the girls in service work outside of school. At Christmas time a box containing toys and candy-filled stockings were sent to the small children in the Indian School at Ship Rock, New Mexico. and later in the year clothing was collected for the poor children at the Weber school. The members of the executive committee for this year are: president, Mary Louise Wellman: vice-president, Mary Warren: secretary. Mary Loui e Smith; and treasurer, Virginia Close. The chairman of the standing committees which make up the rest of the Cabinet are: Program, Marjorie Benight: Social. Barbara Custance: Service. Geraldine Moyer: Publicity. Amy Wetzlar, and Inter-Club Council Representative, Thelma McKee. The faculty sponsors are Miss Small and Mrs. Baltes. -Mary Louise Wellman. Press Club X N THE year of 1924-25 quite a swarm of new clubs toddled into East Denver's circle of activities. Probably the "baby" of all these is the Honorary Press Club. organized for the local pen-pushing stars. Called into existence by the need of some society to "raise the standards of and further all journalistic work." the club was first conceived by Miss Chambers. sponsor of The Spotlight, early in the year. At that time a committee consisting of Otis Bosworth as chairman and with Virginia Brown and William Morrison as the other two members was appointed to draw up tentative requirements for admission and otherwise launch the society on the sea of club life This committee published their report in the October tenth issue of the school paper. They stated that all candidates to be eligible must have had 2,000 words printed in The Spotlight and must continue to maintain a quarterly average of 800 words. Major heads of the annual board were to become eligible as soon as they received their appointments. However. the junior editor must meet the same requirements as Spotlight workers. The committee also laid down certain standards for typists. business managers and cartoonists. This committee empowered a second board, made up of the editors of The Spotlight and Angelus and one person working on both staffs to pass upon the eligibility of all applicants. Notwithstanding these elaborate preparations the society did not meet until the first semester was drawing to a close. The club elected for its officers Eugene Duffield. president: Virginia Brown, vice-president: and Dicksie Brown. secretary-treasurer. -Euqene Duffield. [ 140 ] �[ 141 ] �I 142 I �I 143 J �Sociedad Castellana t::=f MO G the captives at Fortress East were a number of "estudiantes ~_.l espanoles." Together with the others in captivity, they wandered aimlessly about eeking some useful. pleasure giving diversion. orne of the "estudiantes espanoles" were very fortunate; they came upon a massive. mysteriously carved door over which was in cribed the words "La ociedad Ca tcllana." It had no knob. no keyhole, no hinges and still it was a door. How were they to open it? Magi<' words? They tried Yuar maiti ardanmi Yumec mifil sogrin Hay se yarmin. soai wantucrai. The door opened, they entered, and it closed again. They found themselves in the midst of a group of "estudiantes espanoles" under the sponsorship of Seniorita Edmiston. enorita Ferguson. Senorita Dillon. and enor Clifford. Senorito Jack Rowley was President. Two doors led from the room-one, the Alhambra, and the other, the Andaluces. Half of the "estudiantes" went through the one door and half through the other. Each division passed through a series of rooms, in each of which they found some useful. pleasure-giving diversion-they saw a bull-fight and a Spanish play. heard a Spanish speaker, learned to sing "Hasta Manana" under the leadership of a Mexican musician, framed a Constitution for "La Sociedad Castellana," gave Christmas baskets to one Mexican and two American families. heard a talk on "Santa Fe" and played Spanish conversation games. Then they came together and had a very successful Spanish Club dance. Musical Organizations f f l ANY favored and fair maidens and knights resided in the Court of Music ~ in the proud old castle of East. The e musicians learned to enchant others with their golden voices and instruments. Miss Fareeda Moorhead. who entered the Court in September, trained the gallant youths. After many applicants had tried out thirty-four maidens formed the feminine group of choristers. They have a brilliant record, having sung at many school and social functions. These maidens were robed in white with a scarlet bow-tie and monogram. This group includes the red-head nightingale trio and the sextette. Only twenty-nine brave knights succeeded in gaining a place in the Glee Club. Under Miss Moorhead's tutelage they appeared many times in public in a black and white uniform. A fine tenor voice, that of Lester Cowan, led many of the selections. The Choral Union which is not a restricted group of courtiers gained recognition in its excellent public showing although it is able to spend only one-half as much time in the Court as the other choristers. Thirty-five talented mu icians played various instruments in the Court Orchestra which ably rendered many classics before school audiences Then also there is the group of musicians who have enticed many couples to glide over the tiled floor of the royal court to its irresistible music. The great advancement of this small music department is largely due to the untiring efforts of the fair sponsor, Miss Moorhead Berna Dean Co!lier. l 144 J �[ 14:) J �l 146 l �Flying Squadron ~ HE Flying Squadron. under the leadership of Miss Garrett. has fulfilled \....) a double purpose in assisting in the publicity and advertising of worthy school activities and in enabling the boys of the school to obtain actual experience in public speaking. Organized three years ago by Miss Cleary, the Flying Squadron has come to be an invaluable asset to the school. l 147 J �[ 148 ] �~HE members of the Student Council and the officers. William Morrison, \....) President; Nan Johnson, Vice-President, and Irene Tedrow, Secretary, have helped to make a Student Council of which East should be proud. There has never been a more active group of members. They commenced by revising the school constitution and by-laws and their efforts from then on have been expended in improving the traffic in the halls. the honor system in the study halls, and the red tag warnings. The honor system in study halls was the greatest task of all. as it was the first time anything of the kind had been tried at East. At the beginning of the year the members arranged to have pins made and all councilmen can be seen wearing a little gold pin bearing the two letters S.C. Meetings were held after school for the first semester but during the second the time was changed to sixth hour. Anyone attending the heated discussions which have been carried on at every meeting would be forced to say, "Some pep, that bunch." Much credit for the success of the Student Council is due to Bill Morrison, Head Boy, whose untiring zeal was an important factor in bringing about the changes introduced by the Council. That Bill was well-fitted to take over the duties of the highest office in school is shown by the fact that he was president of his junior class, is one of the foremost orators and debaters at East, having won the Woodbury Oratorical Contest in his junior year, is connected extensively with dramatics, has been a member of the Spotlight staff for three years, and has been interested in various other activities. As chief executive of the school. he has not been found lacking in the qualities of fellowship and executive ability. The highest honor that can be bestowed upon a girl at East went to Thelma McKee when she was elected Head Girl for 1924-5. Literary. scholastic and executive ability were the main characteristics of this year's Head Girl. As member of the Angelus Board for two years, winner of the Wolcott Reading Contest, member of the potlight staff, and a prominent student in various activities, Thelma will long be remembered. The office of Head Girl came as a fitting reward for her work while at East. [ 149 ] �r 15o J �l 151 ] �t:::J MID the toothless grins of a myriad of jack o' lanterns. to the tunc of '_l rustling corn stalks a hundred couples swayed and dipped over the tiles of the lower hall at the Senior Barn Dance, November 15. At eight-thirty Ginsberg's maestros of syncopated rhythm blared forth the strains of the initial fox-trot and as kernels of corn and serpentines whizzed through the air the curtains were drawn back on one of the most pleasing dances of the year. Nothing had been overlooked by the committee consisting of Bus Loucks, chairman, Betty Taylor, Betty Merrick, Alice Dewey and Harry Sasse that would help to make the affair a success. Pumpkins leered at the dancers from every nook and cranny while corn in every stage of development from green ears to dried husks was everywhere in evidence. The huge mountains of golden-brown doughnuts and bowls of cider suffered noticeably from the open season declared on them immediately after the opening of festivities. Midway in the course of activities a figure , at first mistaken for the hunchback of Notre Dame and later discovered to be Harry Sasse, was perceived perambulating about on the rafters in a simian fashion and pelting the dancers with serpentines. Other features of the evening were two jigs: one, a solo by Harold (Fat) King and the other, an act later dubbed "The Three Jigateers," featuring Bus Loucks, Jim Blue and King. And then, oh! horror of horrors, a dignified professor of mathematics, Megenity by name, topped the whole thing off with a flea-hop . Thus things went until the stroke of eleven boomed out and then suddenly the grinning jack o' lanterns were leering only at gloomy, empty space. But they continued to grin, for the memories were pleasant. -Eugene Duffield. [ 152 ] �Si;NIOR Rlt1 ~ A VING the best for the last. like the cherry of an ice cream sundae, the ~ Seniors of '25 entertained at their Prom on the twenty-fifth of the winsome month of April and Pan himself might have been the master of ceremonies. so gay and irresistible was the young spirit of spring on that night. Instead of the pipe and lute, however. the saxophones of Ginsberg's first orchestra echoed temptingly in the ears of the guests as they disembarked from the elevators on the eighth floor of the Brown Palace Hotel. And piquant punch was served in the place of woodland nectar. A pastel ballroom, glorified with lavender and white, was fortunately the scene of the dance, instead of a "grassy glen", which, although romantic, would hardly be practical for the strut. But Spring and Peter Pan, in spite of the ultra-modern setting. were joyously abroad. Surely he peeked in the window at the dancers, swaying to the rhythm of "Oh Katharina", the lovely colors of the girls' dresses like a shattered rainbow flung on a dark wave. No doubt he concluded sagely (with his tongue in his cheek) that here at last was a real reason for man's existenceto stand between gowns of clashing shades. He must have smiled tolerantly as he flitted past the artless little couches, so attractively placed around the halls. Perhaps he even dared to wink at the chaperones. From the tinkling, giddy conversation, Peter decided that the features of the Prom were the stern "No Stags" ruling, the introduction of the class song and of course-inevitably-''Spring''. Then Peter flew home. So did the seniors. For the Prom of '25, the last prom of the old East. had ended. Four years had the seniors anticipated it; it whirled by in three hours, and the memory will live forever. On such a night. perhaps the seniors sighed in Pan's own words, "I don't want to grow up. I want always to be a Senior and have fun." Committee: Mary Louise Shellenberger, chairman; Sherod Scott, Wayne O'Neill, Alice Cosad and Ben Griffith. -Virginia Brown. [ 153 ] �LlSS t("")LANS for making the last class day in old East the biggest and finest in ~ the history of the school are being formulated and completed by th ~ committee. composed of Harry Losee. chairman .

To start the day, the class luncheon will be given. at which Mr. Hallett, and Mr. Newlon will be called upon to give short toasts. In addition the four principals of East, Dr. Baker, Dr. Smiley, Dr. Barrett and Mr. Hill. will probably respond with toasts. William Morrison , head boy, will act as toastmaster. The class program. to be given at East. will be as follows : Class History- Dale Richards Class Prophecy- Kathyrne Shannon and Paul Treichler Class Will- Mary Louise Wellman President's Address- Francis Reich.

[ 154 ] �Welfare Fund ~ Tu DENTS of East opened wide the ~ flood-gate of good fellowship on Fri- day. October 3. and when the engulfing wave had subsided a silt of $473.57 was left upon the coffers of the Welfare Fund. The annual drive. the third to be held in the school's history. eclipsed all previous in colorfulness. results. quantity and quality. Long before the 8: 3 0 bell had jangled for the opening of activities an undulating maeltrom of Angels centering in the lower hall had quite submerged the school. That lower hall in itself presented a breath-taking appearance. It seemed as if some elf had run amuck with all the hues of the rainbow. Booths that would put the famous bazaars of the Last to hame had sprung up everywhere The Radio Club presided over a flaming mmiature radio station which was tuned in on station E-A-S-T. From the headquarters of the Piano Club issued the toe-tickling strains of a threepiece orchestra. Upon a tiny stage pranced Pierre and Pierret. of the Drama Club. blissfully exchanging their tags for coins of the generosity-mad crowd Signs of "Give until it hurts" flaunted everywhere. Over all rose the screeches shouts and coaxings of the ballyhoo men. Through the swirling mob wandered the bewitching Spanish Club senoritas selling kisses-of the molasses variety. At every hand were novelties to draw the last penny from its hiding place to be exchanged for the tag of some club. At 9:30 the bell asserted itself again. A tomb-like silence descended upon the building. The crowds had vanished. Gone were Pierre and Pierret. A calmness like the blessing of some unseen power replaced the din of multitudes. Ripples of the wave continued throughout the day. Minerva had sold the most tags and contributed the most to the cause. Angels had proven themselves Angels indeed. The committee in charge of the Welfare Fund is composed of Mrs. Marv E. Adkisson. Miss Evelyn Griffin and Mr. E. Waite Elder. -Eugene Duffield. *** Drama Club Plays ~ OUR one-act plays two serious and two in a lighter vein --composed J___l the Drama Club plays. given before an enthusiastic audtence on December 5 The plays chosen were "Overtones."

Helen tanage, John Brock. and Jack Raker enact the parts. "The Trysting Place" i a typical Booth Tarkington comedy. The plot is woven around three couples who have arranged to meet in a secluded part of a large hotel for a tete-a-tete. Each pair of lovers is unaware that the others have chosen the same meeting place. This results in wild scrambles under settees and chairs. The cast of even is made up of Margaret Ellen Mains. Koburn Kidd, Gail Livesay, Florence Tober. John Johnson. Bert Morris and John Payne. *** HI-Y Vaudeville ) RITH a full house and eleven star acts. the second annual Hi-Y vaudeville \JJ was held at Morey Jr. High the night of March 27th. As one looked over the audience it seemed that all East and their respective families were present to witness what was acclaimed by many present as the most successful vaudeville that has ever been attempted at East. The show was opened by The Red and White Crack Drill Team; then followed in succession acts by the following: Don, Bob and John; Billy Foulis; "Sweet Sixteen Steppers"; Harry Sasse; Bus Loucks and Walt Proctor; Morrison, Reich and Cullyford; Marie Smith and Fred Merritt: June Strong and Verna Nellis: and Nan Johnson, Margaret Payne and Lester Cowan. Proceeds from the performance were used to finance the track team and philanthropic activities of the Hi-Y. The vaudeville was under the management of Harold King. with Russell Dondanville as stage manager and Mr. John R.

The story centers about the activities of a young business man and his staunch belief in the truth of advertisements. However, success is found closer to home, and he rises not due to flaring advertising matter but through the efforts of an alert, practical little wife. This play was first produced at the Liberty Theatre, New York, in 1922, and later appeared at Elitch's in Denver. It was written by the authors of "Duley," which was chosen as the Senior Play in 1923. The play will be given in the evening preceding graduation and not on Class Day afternoon as it was given last year. The cast has exerted every effort for over a month now and a stellar production is assured. -Bill Morrison. * * * East Reunion J-c:<HE greatest event that has taken place in Denver since its founding will \...) be enacted in the City Auditorium on May 16,1925, when all the alumni and alumnae together with the class of 1925, will gather there to commemorate the passing of the last class from that famous structure, known for forty·three years as the East Denver High School. Many of the people that have made old East famous will attend this reunion; among those will be its four principals, Dr. Baker, Dr. Smiley, Dr. Barrett and Mr. Hill. These men will each give a short speech. The windows of several of the large stores are now adorned with the various trophies won by this illustrious school. In connection with this reunion, a homecoming day has been planned for Thursday, May 14. The old school will be the scene of this festivity, and here the present students will welcome back the "Old Grads." As one of the features of homecoming day, airplanes are to fly over the city, scattering roses as an advertisement and invitation to alumni to come. The committee of alumni in charge is composed of George D. Begole, Mrs. Boyd, Mr. and Mrs. Tarbell, William E. Hutton and Judge Rothgerber. From the class of '25 the committee is Walter Proctor, chairman; Vestal Brown, Karl Arndt, Leland DePue and James Rodgers. r 157 1 �X N THE realm of fairies and hobgoblins. monsters are changed into princes. rocks into jewels of dazzling splendor. and the dust into armed hordes Yet quite without the aid of black magic or white either- Mis Garrett presented on the eve of October twenty -fifth a cast of East teachers temporarily transformed into Bernhardts and Barrymores that might easily have captivated blase Broadway with the manner in which they interpreted George Kelly 's three-act play, " The Torch Bearers." Sorceress Garrett, Angel coach, was able to carry her miraculous charms al most beyond the bounds of human belief. For who could recognize in that addict of Morpheus. who was stage manager for the group which was endeavoring to stage a play within the play. our self-contained Mr. Pearson. or in that model wife, Miss Miller? And who would suspect this young man. who. like some of the local students, innocently wandered into the middle of things a scene or two too soon. thus ruining the sweet disposition of the amateur director impersonated by Miss Badgley. of being Mr. Marinoff ? Miss Badgley was easily a big triumph in her difficult leading role, and Mr. Megenity ably played opposite her in more ways than one. Stars who were new to East, both in the classroom and on the stage. were Mr. Freytag. who played the part of the win ning Teddy Spearing, Mr. Koger, who for the evening became the handsome Ralph Twiller. Miss McLean. who was Mrs. Shepard . and Miss Betty Sparhawk as Nellie Fell. The cast was rounded out by Miss Beynon, spouse unto the early Mr. Marinoff ; Miss Dillon , who forgot Spanish long enough to play bewitchingly the role of Jenny the maid ; and William Morrison , head boy, as Mr. Spindler, the man who corrects everyone. Then after the master of ceremonies waved his wand and the actors were transformed back into teachers again it was found that net proceeds amounted to $254.91 , all of which was turned over to the Welfare Fund. Due to this hearty support and the students' earnest invitation to " come again, " the Faculty Play is almost certain to become an annual event. - Eugene Duffteld.
