Everybody's hungry. Mr. Pitts is thinking about coffee and

would you gaze at that fire! We go to the spring.
gleefully, "Coffee! Wienies! Lunch!" We gather around the
fire, tho why we needed any more heat will ever remain a mystery.
I grab my lunch and open it, for I know that my peace of mind "will
depend upon the context." We all babble excitedly.
orne young

it is discovered and the younger set busies itself eating ravenously.

Positively we've explored everything for m1les, our shews (Oh,

Dorothy Andrews didn't quite succeed in drowning Mr. Pitts (With

About four-thirty P. M . we (tout en emble- i. e. - the tout

rather wobbly, but the spirit of fellowship for everything and everybody pervaded us. This time we did not rush around madly trying
to decide which car we liked best, but sanely sat down in the first
one we stubbed our toes on. The ride back to Denver was one continuous song. The train even eemed to drone its acco:npaniment a
it hummed back over the rails. We were at peace with the whole
world, and especially did we know that a big silent feeling of comradeship for the class of 'I 6 and for every member of it lay deep
down in our hearts. We knew, too, that however many the years
that passed by, however great the distances that separated us during
those years, the spirit that ro e in us then would never, never be
forgotten.

Well, that's over.

������IDqe i!;istory of tqe Qllaaa of 191 8
On the second of September, nineteen fourteen, the good ship "Aspiration" weighed anchor and started on her journey.
The first part of the journey was made under great difficulty, as the C' s were in constant turmoil. Frequent squalls were
encountered and our superior officer, who was a Latin, warned us to tay close to deck, as many had perished in the "F rosh" sea.
It was with many misgivings that we dropped anchor in Sophomore Bay on the sixth of june, nineteen fifteen.
We et out on the second part of the journey with glad hearts. We passed through fogs of History and our pilot endeavored
to teach us Geometry while on deck. We pas ed over several bars of Physical Geography in safety, but struck the partly submerged "burg" of Rome, during the reign of julius Caesar. In the latter part of the econd half of our journey, we were struck
by a torpedo of German grammar, but our allies- French and English-gallantly came to our rescue. The second part of our
voyage was ended with the ship's officers pouring oil upon the troubled waters.
We are awaiting the next stage of our journey with a great deal of genuine pleasure as we have become acclimated to the
people and climate of the East.
WILLIAM BRYA

��last September in the course of human events it became necessary for
us, a group of timid little human beings, to depart from the el•menlary
schools and the fostering care of the elementary teachers and thus to sever
the last ties which bound U! to home and mother. We presented ourselves
before the august auemblage at East Denver, humbly askmg that we be
allowed to assume, among the separate and equal powers of this instotutoon,
the meek and lowly station to which its customs entitled us.
The history of the Freshman class of 1915, in common with that of all
Freshman classes of other institutions, is a tale of repeated injuries and insults.
\Ve hold the followong statements to be indisputable :
That our verdancy on September eighth last, was our own property, and
by rights should have been respected .
That our bumps of conceit were of truly conspicuous soze and needed not
manhandling to reduce them to normal as measured by the Bmet tests.
That our tendency to play, indocated by our attempts at games of tag in
the hall and on the stairs, was a harmless thing, as it only endangered the li1es
of several hundred people. Furthermore that it should have been encouraged,
particularly as it is vastly more educational than making goo-goo eyes- the
habitual occupation of the upper class students.

72

That our eagerness to recite should be commended, not condemned, by the
teachers. \Ve should not be reminded more than six times each day that we
are "F reshies" and act like it; nor should we be asked on every occasion,
"\Vhat grade school did you come from?" or "How did YOU get into
High School?"
We hold that we should be permitted to lose our way at least ten times
the first day without a giggling audience to note our embarrassment. Also, We
should further be permitted to ask every single one we meet the exact location
of room H .
We contend that, after makmg several tnps to the basement and searchong
in every corner for the elevator, which we are assured would take us to room
H, we should be forgoven for acquorong a firmly rooted conviction that
Ananias has some friends 1n East Denver.
We also hold that we should be protected from the jokes of "The wis ~
fools," who stood in our place last year. And we solemnly declare that after
june 9, 1916, we are, and ought to be, free from their dominion, and that we,
the members of the Freshman Class, do pledge ourselves to fight for this
freedom and for our right to impose on the class of 1919 all penalties and
punishments given us during the past year.

1 GOVER ME T

All government re t on the consent of the governed. Thi ·
is the bas1 on which the United tales rests, and if the schools arc:
to lit us to be good c1t1zen the1r govern.nent should also rest upon
this principle. We, therefore, hold that by nght the pupils hould
have full say as to how they should be governed and the nght to
delegate that authonty to who,soever they please, students or
teachers, as the case may be. We furthermore believe that, given
proper time and encouragement, a s tisfactory sy ten of tudent
government could be worked out by the pupils.
HONOR

Y TEM

We firmly declare that the Honor ystem should be adopted
in the class room as well as in the tudy hall. We believe that each
pupil should feel that it is his own responsibility to pass the daily
recitations or the occasional te t in the fairest and squarest way possible. And we favor the absence of teachers from the roo, during
examinations, as their presence wculd eem to mdicate to some a certain distrust in their honor.

ible. No matter how attached to the old school we may be, it
cannot be advanced as the model of perfection in school buildings.
We abo suggest that the best po sible design be chosen with regard
to co:wenience, lighting, laboratories, librarie , and physical welfare.
Economy in money is not always the true t economy.
LUN H ROOM
We wish to thank those who have by their untmng labor obtained for us the lunch room.
uch thanks as these are feeble in
xpressing the satisfaction in having dinner at home, and in having a
good dinner at that. We show our thanks more by the use of a
thing than by our words.
till, we do wish that they would change
the menu oftener.
OCIAL HOUR
We advocate the resuming of the Friday afternoon dances of
previous classes, not only because of the pleasure they would afford,
but also becau e they would help to promote ocial feeling among the
students, offer larger opportunities to become acquainted, and thus
pave the way to more and better school activities.

LO KER

It has fallen to our lot to again voice the plea for lockers to
replace the present cloak halls.
o much has been said before on
this subject that we feel it is scarcely necessary to go into details.
We are ure we may count on the hearty support of the students, most
of whom have had hats, coats, lunches, and other things stolen from
the unprotected cloak halls, or have found their hat on the none to:&gt;
clean floor, rather the worse for havmg been walked on by many feet.
EW BUILD! TG
This Annual Board, as have previou boards, requests that
the moving to a new school building be accompli hed as soon as pas-

WI

DOW

HUTTER

We believe in the safety first plan. The present method of
regulating the sunlight by shifting four heavy wooden shutters which
may break away at any time and fall upon the person adjusting them
is a menace to all. They needlessly mar the features and threaten
the lives of teachers and pupils.
(Only a slight blow upon some
portions of the skull may be fatal.) We think the comfort and
afety of all should be assured by the removal of these dangerous,
noisy, inadequate shutters that have to be operated by a long pole.
We favor the abolition of the old shutters and the installation of
modern yellow blinds.
79

�RET ROOM
Every school needs, and should have, at lea tone fully equipped
re t room for its girl . The one now used here, although small in
ize, could, with little expen e and work, be transformed into a pleasing, quiet room which would be at the disposal of all. The addition
of a rug or two, clean window curtain and shades, several oft sofa
pillows, a warm coverlet of some sort, and an extra chair, would go
to make the room exceedmgly comfortable and complete. The removal of the mirror to the outer room would also increase the desirability because of the added quiet that would result.

BOOK
We believe that all text-books should be sold through a school
book store. The price for mo t books are high, and the school
board could eliminate the retailer's profits by buying in large quantity. The books could then be old at cost (minus expenses). As
the purchase of text-books entails hardship upon many families this
would help materially.
DEBATI

G

We indorse practice in debating and wish to encourage all who
have the time and intere t to jom one of the chool societies. The
time will come when they will be asked to preside at some meeting.
They will owe it to themselves to know the simple rules of parliamentary law, and culti ate practice in expressing their opinions while
on their feet.
0

THE A

UAL

It has been rumored that this Annual wdl be the last one. We,
the present Annual Board, will express the opinions of former boards
as well as our own on this subject. The Annual is the object around
which all chool activities are centered.
thletics look to this book
for its completion. Plays, kates, and other ocial events are given
purpo ely to cover the finances. If there were no Annual, these
events could not be given and without them the school would be like
a jail. Literary work, which means life to some students, is givl'n
due prominence in its section. Without the Annual this work would
not be done, and as a result fewer students would attend our High
chools. The Annual is the only tie between the graduates and their
school life, which would be forgotten, if they did not have in their
own possession a complete catalog, pertaining to every member of ~heir
class and to every activity. The Annual is put out by people, who
are not interested in Athletics to a great enough degree to take active
part in them. This book, therefore, affords the outside work and
enjoyment for the editors, as athletics form the outside work and
enjoyment for the athletes. The experience received is worth a year's
course in studies. Therefore, since the loss of the Annual means the
downfall of athletics, social events, literary work and in fact '!Very
school activity, since the editors receive ample reward for their W&lt;irk,
and since the finances are always cared for. we desire to ask where
there is any foundation for this rumor? Further, why, after a trial
has been made through a long period of time and in a great many
different places, give up a thing which has ever been a success?
Why not give up every other activity? In short, why come to school
at all?

Mr. Puffer, who was formerly head coach at Loveland High School. took charge of the football squad, whtch for years had been under
the care of Mr. Kester. Considering the fact that the material was entirely new to him, Mr. Puffer turned out a splendid team, which lo t
only one game in the championship series. Ted Glendenning, old East Denver and University of Colorado star as tsted him.
The plendid work of acting captain Jordan, captain-elect Mitterwallner, Paul Brigg and Pat Lamborn, all of whom made the all- tar
city eleven is worthy of special mention. These four men were the backbone of the team. Other worthy members were Pernn, Freeman,
C. Lamborn, McCutcheon, Adams and Frank Briggs. Briggs, although the smallest player m the entire city conference, played end on the
first team during the entire season. He weighed only I 2 7 pounds and was but five
and one-half feet tall.
Briggs is a Sophomore.
II the above named played a
steady and consistent game.
The season opened with the whole school behmd tts team and closed in the
arne way. The Ea t-Manual game, which decided the city champtonship, was a
heart-breaker. East went down to defeat at the hand of her old rival by one point.
Old stand,by "johnnie," after making the touchdown for East, made a try for goal
but the wind blew the ball off its cour e and he missed.
We'll hope for better luck next year and with a captain such as Mitterwallner
to lead the Angels' team, the season is bound to be a successful one. Here's to you,
Mitt!
The letter men were: Tom Ward, Paul Briggs, Belden tevens, Frank
Briggs, David McCutcheon, Ralph Hymer, Frank Adams, hester Lamborn, John
Jordan, Thompson Freeman, Dewey Lamborn, Orlando co bey, Burris Perrin,

���The final event on the athletic calendar Ia t year was the city track and field meet which the East Denver athletes captured with a margin of 2 7 points, a fitting close to a successful year in athletics.
Our track team was not contented with merely winning this big spring event but also thought it necessary, as a finishing touch, to bring
forth the individual star of the day. Keith Clark proved to be this athlete, and stepped forward to become the man of the hour. Clark, as
individual tar of the meet, made 24 points for East, winning the high and the low hurdles and the broad jump, as well as placing in four other
event and running in the relay.
John Jordan distinguished himself by coming forth as a dark hor e in the pole vault, which he not only won, but he also set a new city
record at 10 feet 73/4 inche . The former record was 10 feet 7 inches. Paul Briggs, who will captain the 1916 squad, won the pole vault in
the meet of the two previous year , but was not able to compete in '15 on account of an illness from which he had not fully recovered. Gabby
Holland, captain of the team, won the 440-yard dash, as was his usual custom, in 53 4/ 5 seconds. This time, by the way, is the city
record, which was established by Gabby during the previous year.
East seemed to have a monopoly in the distance runs in the persons of Forrest Williamson, who won the 880-yard run and Hugh Gillis,
winner of the mile run. William Hobbs took second place in the mile and Wilkin Sheldon, captain of cross-country, placed in the 880-yard
run. One place in the meet came to us without question, third place in the high jump, which was tied for by three East Denver track men,
Clark, Jordan and Wellman.
The East Denver track victory was due principally to the splendid coaching system of Mr. Roy B. Kester; to the work of Captain Holland
and Manager Bruce Tidwell, and to the support of Keith Clark.
JUNIOR MEET
The Junior track meet of '15, which, as usual, occurred a little before the city meet, was equally successful.
and turned out the second individual star, Jim Wyman, who won three first places and a number of other points.

As oon as the baseball men were called out in 191 5, they were divided into four teams, each team bemg headed by a monogram player
of the previous year, and these four teams were then formed into a league which played a two-week schedule. This novel plan for early spring
practice was innovated by Coach Walter R. Sheldon and it proved very effective.
At the end of the two weeks' training, it was possible for the coach at least to come near judgmg "Who's Who," and an all-star team
was picked from the league to go up to Golden, where they played the State Industrial chool. East Denver lost this game a well as a number
of other games early in the season. These defeats, together with the fact that it was doubtful whether all the first stnng men would be up in
their studies for the championship games, made things look gloomy for East. The players did not become di couraged, however, but only
worked the harder. Results came, the players became faster and faster, a wonderfully speedy infield was developed. Out-of-town teams
were defeated and finally tho e players who had been down in their studies were signed up.
When the first city championship game was near at hand, the Angels knew they had a fast, steady team, and they proved it by easily
defeating South 12-7.
imilar scores resulted in all the other city games with the exception of the game with
orth. Thi loss was due
largely to the fact that Cowen, our shortstop, was not able to play.
The most interesting game of the series was the East-Manual game, the one which decided the city championship. When the eighth
inning came around it looked as though Manual had the title cinched with a score of 6-3. Ward was the second batter up for East and
singled with one out. Weiss singled, Schiele bunted and reached first. Guy Cowen now stepped up to the plate and virtually gave the championship cup to East by knocking a home run when the bases were full. This made the score 7-6 in favor of East and it remained 7-6 until the
game was ended.
To Guy Cowen and Fred L. Anderson belongs much of the credit for winning the championship. Cowen was, without a doubt, the
speedie t shortstop in the league, easily making the all-star team. Anderson could always be relied on for cool and clever pitching. He a! o
made a place on the all-star team. Johnny Jordan, as catcher, played a consist(nt game and had a peg that never failed. Ro coe Ward led
the East Denver batters. Wendell Hedgcock performed the duties of manager in a creditable manner and George hart, as captain, led the
team to victory.
In order to celebrate the winning of the city championship, a banquet was given in the Kaiserhof hotel for the letter men: Jay Williams,
Jim Wyman, Alvin Mooney, Joe amuelson, Adolf Weiss, Harry Lig~itt, John Blanch, Lewis chiele, ~endell Hedgecock, Harold Bennet,
John Jordan, Fred Anderson, George Short and Guy owen.
At the banquet Guy Cowen was el~:cted captain of the 191 6 squ1d and we all hope that hP may turn out another championship nine.

oon after the close of the football season, oach Puffer called out the candidates for basketball, and the call was re ponded to by about
forty fellows. The team was handicapped by the los of three men from last year's squad, but the new fellow soon showed that they were
a good as the last year men.
East Denver entered the Y . M. . A. League and gave a creditable account of themselves. Coach Puff r used many different line-ups
in the "Y" games, o as to get the best one for the city league. The team had outside games with Boulder Preparatory chool. Colorado
chool of Mines, Colorado prings High chool and Golden Reformatory School.
The city league opened with East playing outh. This game was featured by the playing of Jordan and Westergreen. Although this
was Westergreen's first year in basketball at East Hi, he played as though he might have been on the team for years. East won by a score
of 27 to 22.
The second game wa with Manual. East played a good defensive game.
elson, a first team man, was hurt before the game and his
absence was seriously felt. Pat Lamborn played Nelson's guard and held M anual's star forward to one basket. Adams also showed up well
in this game, which our chool won by a score of 23 to 14. To the surprise of the East supporters, the next game was lost to North by a ont'point defeat, 18-19. This game was lost on account of the basket-shooting, which was not quite up to its usual standard.
In the final game, which wa with Wet, East had its regular line-up on the floor and played the best game of the year. Nel on and Pat
Lamborn did orne effective work in thi contest, while Dimmitt and the forwards were piling up a score. Dimmitt showed up well in shooting
baskets. East won, 36-2 7. Taken as a whole, the season was successful. East tied for the city championship with South and had one
player make a forward on the all-star team, John Jordan. The season ended with a game at Colorado prings, where our team lost to the
pring Hi.
Much credit is due to the coaching of Mr. Puffer. The fellows who were out for the team but did not make their letter, also helped the
first team greatly. Tho e who received letters were Westergreen, Dimmitt, Nelson, Lamborn, Adams, Manager Jordan and Captain Anderson. Pat Lamborn was elected captain for next year.

Each year there is greater enthu 1a m for tennis than the year
before. Overflowing crowds gathered at the courts, at the u ual
place, Eleventh and herman, to w1tness the fall tournament and
encourage their favorites. Thirty-five boys, who were in fine condition, entered, each one eager to win.
Every match was fought out to a finish . It was impo sible to
know the winner until the last point was played. A the tournament
came to a close, such stars as Dimmitt, Douglas, Fleming, Babcock,
parhawk, and C'harle , could be seen struggling for honors.
Those who received monogram were:
Babcock for singles,
and parhawk and Dimmitt for double . Though East Denver did
not win the city championship this year, the boy played exceedingly
well.

�On every athletic team in a high school or college there are certain members who distinguish themselves by the way they go through
a season. And so it is with the athletic squads at our school. Every
member of the different teams must be a good consistent player, but
even though they all are proficient, there are always those who go a
little further and lead the leaders.
Below is a list of the athletes at East Denver High who have so
distinguished themselves as to make the various all-star teams of the
city. In looking over these all-star athletes, there is one who can
well be pointed to as the "all-star-all-star" athlete of the school,
John Jordan. Special mention is also due to Keith Clark, who was
the individual star in the city track and field meet last year.

A I eigl,t o'clock on the eventng of the I th and 19th of February the audtences tn the Assembly
Room were entertained by the German play, whtch made many hits during its performance.
ltl:oug ...
the play was in a foreign language, a synopsis enabled all to understand .
The first hit of the evening was A11nes, otherwise Vera Gustafson, the "little goose of Buchenau.''
Pretty in her e\ery movement, she mtg!!t well have been the girl whom two, or even more, suitors
would seek . Equally as well sutted to her role was Lela Cronin, Agnes' grandmother. Yet we must
confess thai we ne\er knew she could worry so much or weep so many tears as she did over her dear
grandchild. Baron von Buchenau, the "gross papa," was ideally portrayed by Eugene Friedheim.
His fa ' thful sen ani, Jakob, was perfectly impersonated by Gus lave eumann, with his blunt German
way . Oh, Paul Freeman, you vtllain, so cool , so refined; you deceivmg von Silbering, you shall at
last meet your doom, and lose the golden apple of your schemes.
nd now our hero, tall, fatr and
strong. Perhaps he ts a ltttle uncouth, and ignorant, thts Simple country character of Von Fink, but
everyone who saw him will agree that Gross Smith made a fine hero. We all liked to see htm win
fair Agnes. This lively affair was intensely enjoyed by the audience, and the efforts of Miss Sternberg
were well repaid .

Qtougrr !IB-tl iurrua
A short watt of len minutes, and we see before us a heart-breakmg, side-aching comedy, "The
Tyranny of Tears.' Oh, Mabel, stop your crying! Who was Mabel? She was the tearful, tyrant
wtfe of Mr . Parbury. Ed ith Fairchild brought thiS character weepmgly before our eyes. The poor
vichm of her tears was Mr . Parbury, Jo!!n Carter, a veritable author, whose poor hair was "smoothed
when he'd rather it was roughed , and roughed when he'd rather it was smoothed." John made us pity,
but at the •a me time, condemn him; pity htm for his hard luck. condemn him for his weak will.
Fmally a leswn is taught Mrs. Parbury, but tt is not the lesson but the teacher who enchants the
sympathrzing audience . ThiS teacher is Miss Woodward, thirteenth daughter of a small-town clergy man . This role 15 played by ever-smiling Dorothy Andrews. Gunning, an old college friend of Parbury's, proves the trouble maker, boasting of his "independe nce." But, Ah! He, too, falls, under the
caphvating eyes of Miss Woodward, Parbury's stenographer, and 15 the "lucky man.'' He is Moreland Humphreys. Colonel
rmitage, the wtdowed father of Mrs.
Parbury, was the fun of the play. As Donald Harley's deep voice and rotundity were much concerned about his freedom "since he regained his liberty." Willa
Ferns lakes the part of the "Frenchy" maid, and Kenneth Shaw portrays the butler, "H'Evans," with his h'English h'accent, and a London fog tn h15 nose .
As a parting word we must remember Mr . Pitts success, the greatest of all h .. plays, and render our thanks to him a thousand fold . Do not let us forget the
'Manager" (with his kindly helpers), Stentorian Tom Harvey, who assured us "full houses," regardless of cost of time and energy.

�Along about the middle of November, we received the interesting news that the last year's Annual Board had left as its memento to the
class of '16, a debt. We made it a point of honor to pay this, so the executive committee began planning a way to raise the money necessary.
They decided to have an evening devoted to the one-time (and as the result showed, still), popular diversion of roller skating.
o East Denver, individually and collectively, rummaged the attic and brought forth from among the other relics of its childhood days, a
pair of roller skates and- practiced.
On
ovember 26, 1915, East Denver departed for the Broadway rink, where it showed off its newly-acquired ability, and had a jolly
good time. Everybody and his little sister enjoyed themselves immensely; and last, but not least, the committee cleared sixty-five dollars.
o gratifying were the results of the first skate to everyone concerned, that the executive committee was requested to give another.
ow
since the Annual Board never has more money than it can use, the second skate was given for the benefit of your Annual. This came off on
February 25, 1916, also at Broadway rink. Thirty-one dollars and ten cents from this helped to make the Annual a succe s.

Under the auspices of the Univer ity of olorado, a tate Debating Contest has been inaugurated among all the High chools of
the tate. The member of the team are cho en from the chool at
large, both gtrls and boy being eligible, by a committee of teachers,
who judge at a preliminary debate.

"Re olved that Capital Puni hment be abolished in the State of
olorado," was the subject for debate. The East Denver team
sustained the affirmative of the question, and after one of the most
hotly conte ted debate ever held in Boulder, East Denver lost the
debate.

The Elimination y tern governs this conte t and one defeat disqualifies the school from further participation.

The fir t of these debates was held between outh Denver and

Frank D eis, and Marcell Koeneke.
"Re olved that there hould be a tate Board of
rbitration
with Compulsory Powers to settle all Labor Di putes." The East
Denver T earn v ry ably supported the negative of this question and
were awarded the d ecision. This victory kept East D enver in the
race.

The econd debate of this series in which East Denver took part
was held early in the spring at Boulder.
The team originally was composed of Frank Deis, Ernest
Trattner, and Marcell Koeneke. Unfortunately for East Denver,
Frank Deis wa taken ill the night before the debate, placing a big
handicap upon the team. His place was taken by Sam Wall of.

The Triangle Debate is, by far, the BIG debate of the year.
Every year there are between twenty-five and thirty ongressmen
fighting for a place on one of the teams. The keen and friendly
competition among the members was increased this year by a prize
of five dollars in gold, knuwn as the Beckhart Prize, offered to each
member of the ongress team or team , which come out victorious.
This year ongress was represented by James Field and John
Carter in Pueblo, while Gordon Lindsey and Howard Vickery composed the home team which debated Canon City.
The question for debate was, "Resolved that an embargo should
be placed on the exportation of arms and munitions of war to belligerents." The Pueblo team upheld the negative of the question
and won hands down. The affirmative was upheld by the home
team and was beaten by anon City only after a hard and interesting
discussion.

�The Minerva Literary Soc1ely of the East Denver High School is composed
of about one hundred and fifly g1rls, whose obJect IS lo prachce the arl of expression and lo obtain a beller knowledge of general 1op1cs.
Meehngs are held every other Thursday afternoon of the school year. The
programs are always extremely interesting, and are somehmes followed by a business meeting.
orne of the people, whose lives and works have been studied th •s
year are 0 . llenry, MacDowell, and Michel
ngelo. At one meehng George
Bernard Shaw's play, "The Man of Destiny," was presented. There are usually
some mus1cal numbers, a dance or a reading, and always the Minerva Journal.
The program comm1llee tries to arrange the programs in such a way that each
g1rl may take pari at least once during the year.
ew members are adm111ed in September and February and are inihated at
a party and dance g1ven them by the older members.
Congreu joms Minerva twice each year, once in a party and dance, and
once in giving a play. The Minena luncheon is also an annual affair. This
year it is lo be held in Daniels and Fishers Tea Room . The girls always enjoy
a lovely lunch and a very pleasant afternoon.
Besides its real purpose, I am sure Minerva has done for other girls what it
has for me, g1ven them the opportumty of knowing some of the finest girls at East
Denver.

�On a certain Friday night (about 9 : 30) I had left the East
ide High chool and was wandering past the new Federal building.
when a well-dressed gentleman came towards me. He seemed to
know me but I did not remember his face until he told me his name.
Then I recalled a visit from him while he was in Denver about five
years ago.
He took me up to his hotel. It was in the lnbby that he first
mentioned Congress in connection with his school day~ in Denver.
When I told him that I had been present at a meeting of Congress
that very evening. be became even more interested. "I shall never
forget Congress," he said. "it was the foundation of my success as a
lawyer. If I have accomplished anything in the business world. I
have felt that Congress gave me my ambition and, at least. my start
in my career."
But he was not yet satisfied.
about Congress activities."

"Tell me," he said. "something

I told him that Congress had been very active this year.

That

besides the annual party. it had given a play. "The Tyranny of
Tears." with the Minerva Literary

ociety.

I also told him how the

senators, Field and Carter, had won the Triangular debate at Pueblo
and at the same time the Beckhart prize of five dollars each.
"But," he said. after I had told about the debates, "you have
not forgotten about the banquet, have you?"
Upon tl,is ~uggestion, I assured him that, with John Carter, as
toastmaster, we were going to give a splendid banquet.
On departing, he expressed his earnest wish and desire that
Congre ·~ in years to (orne, would uphold the spirit and good work

of the Congress of his day.

The Forum thi year ha confined mo t of 1t activitie to its own member hip. The Friday evening debates have encompassed a variety
of subjects and awakened among it members undreamt of enthusiasm. Although most of our material was rather embryonic at the beginning
of the year, nevertheless we have succeeded in developing several promi&gt;ing debaters.
Our organization ha truly been a Forum of many opinions.

This has been due largely to the fact that our membership varies m its

In general school activities the Forum take a leading part. The Stevens Contest was won for our school by Ernest R. T rattner. Marcel Koeneke and Rollin Whitehead represented the Forum in the District High chool Debate between South and East. Again two of our

�The purpose of the Girls' Debating lub is to enable its members to express their thoughts in a clear and forceful way, in a debating style. It trains its members to think logically, clearly, and
above all justly. We cannot pay a tribute to our critic, Miss
Kennan, which will adequately express our love and thanks to her for
what she has done for us. If we are true-minded, wide-awake citizens, we give her all the credit.
A debate between the Forum and our Club was held on April
7th, in the Assembly room, at 3 p. m. The subject of debate was,
"Resolved that the United tates adopt the literacy test for all European Immigrants." The negative was upheld and won by our Club,
represented by Jane Allen, Margaret Haggott, and Ruth Sherrell.
The Forum was represented by Randall O'Neil, Walter Rath, and
David Tannenbaum.

�The German Club for advanced German students, has had a
very successful and enjoyable year. Its members have done everything to help make it one of the most substantial organizations of
East Side High School. The popularity of the club is well shown
by the membership. Eighty boys and girls answer the roll call at
every meeting. However, in spite of the large membership, the
school, as a whole, knows little about the real doings of the society.
At every meeting a skillfully selected program is presented under
the supervision of Miss ternberg, founder of the "Verein." It
usually consists of one or two essays, musical recitations, humorous
and serious dialogue, and a song in unison. All conversation and
business is carried on in German. The meeting over, all adjourn
to the lower regions (meaning the basement cafeteria), where refreshments are served. It was once suggested that pretzels and root
beer be served, but the American appetite of our pseudo-T eutons
could not reconcile itself to such an alliance.
The next day the program is discussed and criticised in the class
room. Taken all in all, the German Club is without doubt one of
the most potent educational factors at East Denver, as well as a source
of enjoyment socially.

"Accuracy First, Last and Always"
During the past few years the nece ity for organization among
the students of the Typewriting and horthand Departments has
been recognized by both the faculty and the tudents. It was with
this in view, that several tudents, under the guidance of Miss L. L.
trickier, organized the 0. A. W .
The feature of this club are chiefly to promote accuracy, efficiency and speed in Typewriting and horthand. Many members
have already attained that degree of efficiency which has enabled
them to win Gold Medals for speed and a curacy on the Typewriter.
Realizing the value of the knowledge required in practical business, the club has, at various meetings, invited prominent business men
to peak on many elements neces ary for a successful stenographer.

�Do you doubt, my dear sir, there are others as true,
As noble, almost a good-looking as you?
Then cheer up! The world to the dogs cannot go,

Then what's the use of being pe imistic?
'Tis better to be counted altruistic!
Don't knock! 'Tis not worth while,
Boo t things upward with a smile,
To most every cloud's a side that's luministic.

The ills so unjustly assigned you by fate,
Tho' unpleasant, they still have the merit, I'm told,
Of turning the dross in your nature to gold.

ODE TO A PIME TO

A

WALLACE.

DWICH

When other days have come and gone,
In our memone still shall he,
Fond recollections of our dear
Beloved and only High.
Our school days shall we then recall,
And ponder each one o'erThe lessons learned, the merry times,
Of days that are no more.
Then here's to dear old Ea t Denver,
The greatest school on earth!

Oh sandwich, lonely on the floor,
Last, lone, remnant of the maddening crush.
Your snowy whiteness marred by feet
That, disrespectful, tread you in the dust;
Your owner, sorrowing to his seat
Goes, angry at the passing fork
That speared you from his careless hand.

Our Alma Mater shall we love,
'Twas she who gave us birth.
And when her sons and daughters part
To some far distant clime,
May we pu h on our work begun
Until the end of time.

How dingy your countenance, and sad,
Lying on the unswept floor,
While all around you, to the door
Lie crumbs of morsels, well enjoyed.
Alas! what black pest is that I see?
A fly! A fly!
Your doom is sealed,
Oh! Last lone sandwich on the floor!
fRA CE

The Red and White we'll ne'er forget
As long as we are here;
We'll work for her while still we can,
In memory hold her dear.

Oh! have you heard the late t news?
aid Mrs. . to me,
I have not gossiped once today,
And now we'll have a pree.
You know that woman?
he's a cat,
ot in my class at all !
And Mrs. D . told me today ~
I can't believe it all!
But Mr . D., she told to me,
And don't you dare repeat it!
That Mrs. B. drinks in her teaPs! ps! could you believe it?
And Mrs. B., she dotes on tea!
I think it out of fashion,
And nothing now but Columbine
Will satisfy my passion.
Oh, mercy me! and there's the bell!
That hussy, Mrs. B. Why Mrs. B. your looking well,
And how you flatter me
By calling at my humble home,
And won't you have some tea?
Why, no, I can't go calling now,
I've company, you see!

DOPED TEA
And now she' s gone, we'll talk some more
Oh, must you so soon meander?
That Mrs. B., she makes me mot sore,
I'll put nothing beyond her!
I am so glad you came around, and
Found me home to-day,
And don't you tell a single oul
What you have heard me say!
Wearily I took my leave
To see another friend .
Quietly we drank our tea,
A most delight{ ul blend.
But Mrs. B. soon happened in,
Just to say "Hello."
We welcomed her with opened arms;
he stayed a while to sew.
I do not care for any tea,
I'll just sit down and chat;
I've cut out tea with sugar in,
It does make one so fat!
So Mrs. C. was wrong again
As to tea with Manna,
And from now on, for gossiping,
Amen !-so help me Hannah!

HIE'S PLEA

A moment, Mr . Barrett,
Please, if you can spare it,
Of your valuable time.

Mr. Pitts thinks I'm bright
Enough to make light,
A proof of the darkest kind.

It injures my vanity,
And looks like profanity,
This 0
of mine.

Though my hosiery's red,
I am sure what he said
Referred to my mind.

Although Miss owperthwaite
Says I'm no heavyweight,
Mentally speaking, of course.

If I tried I ought

I've passed with some ease
Through many narrow C's,
And this takes mental force.

If you'd let me flunk,

M1ss Kennan thought
To be her pride and joy.
o I'd think it punk
For I'm a real nice boy.

YOU CAN'T FORGET
You may win a stack of honors
In the land of foreign cenes,
You may have your name emblazoned
In the books and magazines;
But you can't forget the old days,
The days of work and play,
pent together at East ide High,
When the world was young and gay.
You may travel in all luxury
O'er thi land, and others, too ;
You may know the greatest plea ures,
And of troubles, just a few;
But you can't forget the old days
When you wore the colors, red and white,
And sang the praise of East Side High
With great glory and delight.

WHERE I LO G TO BE
Where the building eems the newe t,
Where the choolmates are the true t,
Where lessons assigned are not so long
That they keep you up at night,
Where the lunches are the finest,
And the teachers are the kindest,
That is where I long to be.
Where the good "A's" come most often,
Where the principal's heart will soften,
Where the que tions are not o numerous
When you've mis ed a half a day ;
Where the school board's all declare
That exams are most unfair;
That is where I long to be.

�"FARE WELL, JOHN BARLEY OR
Good-bye to you and yours, old scout,
I guess you're just about knocked out.
You've lived a long, long time, you know,
But a day comes when each must go.
Your turn has come now, I suppose,
'Twon't be long ere your eyes you close.
Your each intention might be line,
Yet at your bier no tears of mine
Will lind their way to mourn for you;
The curses you've sent are not few.
Ho;nes, once filled with happine s,
Where all with God's pure light were blessed,
Are broken, and they live no more.
The cause of this lies at your door.
The youthful man, who knew not sin,
With best prospects spread before him
Encountered you one dreary night;
'Twas then you blew out hope's bright light.
And now, the life that might have been
Is empty, lean, and sickly thin,
You've led a life of lawless ruin;
You've sucked life's blood with merry tune.
You cared not who, or when, or why.
o now, old cout, you've got to die.
While some may follow in your wake
And mourn; clear water shall I take.
And then in words w clear and loud,
That they will reach each heav'nly cloud,
I'll hail your death a blessing true,
o-long, old cout, o-long to you.

Oh! Virgil's verse (dactylic

And truly was designed
By methods diabolical
To undermine the mind.
Oh! Pitts-he i no better

And sees we shove it in.
Nor crumbs, nor jots, nor tittles,
It's all the same to Pitts,
If they are Virgil victuals
We eat the smallest bits.
And when the work is ended,
And when we've read the thing,
We'll rise, and, voices blended,
This is what we'll sing:
"0 Virgil, when you shot us
(You must have used a dum-dum),
You pretty nearly got usBut you don't know where we come from.

We used to "go" when time to leave
Or had no wish to tay,
But now we don't; we "beat it,"
Or "make our get-away."

We used to make our meaning plain,
But now I oft perceive
I'm very dense, and fail to grasp,
"Eh? Do you get me, teve?"

We once "put out the lights at night,"
But now we "douse the glim,"
And say about our failing sight,
"Our lamps are getting dim."

We used to go to bed at night
When wearied with the day,
But now we don't. We "hunt a flop,"
Or merely "hit the hay."

"Please, father, can you spare a dime?"
We asked in timid tones;
But now it's "Old man, come aero s,
Dough up some talking bones."

We "cough up" now, where once we paid,
When e'er we owed a bill ;
While ba eball that our father played
Means now to "pelt the pill."

And if no light of meaning clear
Within his eye you read,
You say: "Why, don't you savvy, dad?
It's mazuma that I need."

nd long ago folk used to wed,
But now they "take the yoke."
And people used to pass away,
But now they merely "croak."

We used to wear our unday clothes
When occasion called for dress,
But now "glad rags" is more elite

Or made his meaning plain,

The offspring of his brain.

Who needed to be "shown."

BETTER IF THEY DIDN'T MARK THEM

Trees are those thing that do well on your neighbor's lawn, but
won't raise more than a leaf or two when you plant some on your
lawn.

Be it resolved that the faculty use red ink hereafter in marking
our quarter-cards, in view of the fact that even the girls, after a long
illness, receive a black "i" at the end of the quarter.

Trees are found everywhere, but most of them are found in the
woods.
ix trees make a forest, three make a grove, and one tree
make a man di gusted, when he is trying to rai e an orchard. There
are everal different kinds of tree , notable among which are apple,
peach, beechnut, weeping willow, and family trees. There is no
better tree than the apple tree unless it i two apple trees.
The peach tree is one whose roots go far back into antiquity and
produce a fruit that looks like neither her father nor her mother, and
of whom the envious say they can't see what men can like about her.
The peach tree thrives best in parks and on the seashore and
produces a fruit known as the "date."
Beechnuts don't grow on the beaches despite the fact that many
nuts are found there. Weeping willows grow down in the dumps.

HOW COULD YOU BE

0 CRUEL?

Mr. Pitts told his fir t hour class that he had directions to send
them to "H."
Oh, the future is before us
All the happy summer long,
But a thought comes in to sadden
And hu h our joyous ong.
For before the fruits be gathered
We must see the blossoms fall;
And examinations, schoolmates,
Are the saddest times of all.
MARIO

CowGILL.

The family tree is really largely a vegetable, because after a
few generations it produce a "dead beat." We could name several
other trees, but we fear you'd be ycamore.
(Many a man has died
for want of a better pun than that.) A fruit is three-fourths pulp
and one-fourth worm. There is only one thing we hate to find in
any fruit we bite into besides a worm, and that's half a worm.

Miss Kennan (who is usually oppo ed to violence) - "We will
take the 'Life of Burns' tomorrow."

Prominent among the nuts are the grapenuts and the nut who
thinks there is a better school than old East Denver.

Mr. Pitts- "Why specify, Mason?"

ELEGY WRITTEN IN AN OFFICE
My heart does leap with fitful fits
At thoughts of meeting Mr. Pitts.
It's not because his somewhat beLigerent hospitality
Is feared so very much by me
(Although that weighs considerably) ;
It is because I hate to sit
And watch the hours fastly flit,
Thinking how hard he's going to bawl
Me out for running in the hall.

BOOKS WE ALL KNOW
"Little Men"- The Freshmen.
"Great Expectations"- The day before we get our quartercards.
"The Disaster"- The day after we get them.
"The Common Lot"- Fiunking.
"The Comedy of Errors"- English Themes.
THE TRUTH
A school annual's a good invention,
The staff gets all the fame;
The printer all the money,
And the editor all the blame.
QUICK!

THE UNABRIDGED

Said Miss (guess who, one day )-"While I have, perforce, an
eleemosynary nature, I resent, notwithstanding, the lackadaisical
methods of the pupils in this division, and shall tender them, therefore, such an examination as will cause the more meticulous to have
horripilations."

EPITAPH

Then fill up the inkwells with blotters and flies,
And decorate Lincoln with ribbons and ties,
Put cats in the office and mice in room B,
And kill all the Freshmen that didn't get "D."

Mr. Pitts is responsible for this one:
A man entered one of the thinly partitioned rooms of a hotel.
He sat down, noisily flung off a shoe, and commenced to make preparations for retiring.
The man in the next room breathed in agonized suspension for
a few moments. Finally he could bear it no longer.
"For the love of Mike," he yelled, "throw off the other one and
let me go to sleep!"
Mr. Pitts says the man only had one leg.

"How long were you in Brazil?" asked Bill Robinson of Mr.
Bethel.
"Why, the same height I am now! One's height is never

There was some confusion in evidence the time Mr. Barrett

"Why, I didn't know they were making any," said Fred Wood.

In such a strait what can I do?
I've never written an almanac,
The talent, alas, I seem to lack.
With a key and a string and a kite on h1gh,
I've never drawn lightning from the sky.
Then, too, I'm not a diplomat,
I never tried my hand at that.
But if Miss Kennan will only wait,
Perhaps I'll too some day be great,

Of the White House a resident.
Then on every shelf she'll see

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

It was cold that night of December 27th, but how could that
affect three hundred happy couples on their way to the largest dance
of the year? Everyone was in the holiday spirit, as it was only two
days after Christmas, and the unusual amount of "pep" and real
spirit our class has was shown again.
The dance was held at El ] ebel Temple, which was decorated
with the school and class colors. The programs were brown leather
with gold cords, and the music ?-well, that was the best in town.
Altogether the affair was so successful that it added more than one
hundred dollars to the class treasury.

When we reached our camping place- oh, yes, we had to walk, and
it was hot- we all thankfully relieved our elves of our packs, as
it was terribly hard to keep them in one coherent piece. We had
coffee and "wienies" for lunch, and we were some famished bunch of
eniors. We ate enough "wienies" to supply the German army
for a month.
Those of us who were of a more ambitiou and energetic nat~re then essayed to conquer the mighty works of nature, but we
didn't get far, for tho e mountain are both high and steep, and that's
a pretty formidable opposition as some found out, so we wandered
down to the creek.
The day pas ed swiftly, as such days will, and soon the crowd
assembled. Finally we boarded the train and ettled into those soft

to sing (?) and holler a bit, and after fifteen miles of continuou

Three years ago we entert&gt;d East ide High chool a body of
happy, energetic boys and girls. That was in 191 4.
ince that
time we have developed into the best class that ever entered East
Denver.
While we were Freshmen we learned many things, chief of
which was our own ignorance and unimportance.
In the interval between eptember, 1914, and eptember, 1915,
we grew admirably, both mentally and physically, and, as became
our station, we were treated with much more re pect than formerly.
This year we are known as "the brilliant Junior class."

The following scene might take place in any home which boasts
a daughter of high school age. The place is the breakfast table.
Father is at the head, mother at the foot, behind the coffee pot; the
two boys and unt Bernice on either side, and one empty chair.

"Oh, you neYer will see my point of 'iew about that," daughte1
sighs.
ay, is, you've got too much powder on the side of your

offending feature with her handkerchief.
"I think that you have a little too much on your chin, too, dear,"
mother objects. "I do di like to see young girls w1th their faces all
covered with powder."

ha ty step is heard in the hall, and daughter enters and slips
unobtru i\ely into her chair.
"You're a little late for breakfast, dear," ays her mother reprovingly.

Daughter sighs, but says nothing.
he has learned that silence
is the be t policy in treating that question.
"What have you done to your hair, child?" asks father curiously.

"Ye , mother, I know; I'm orry, but it took me longer lo dress
than usual." This from the daughter as she unfolds her napkin.
"Huh, I don't see why it should take you so long to dress; you
haven't got enough on lo keep you warm," scoffs big brother, between
bites.

" he got that peeled onion effect from the movie she saw last

"I think Tom i quite right, Margaret," ays Aunt Bernice
critically. "Your throat i positively blue with cold."

"I alway have liked the way your mother used to do her hair.
he might show you how she fixed it," ugge ts father mildly.
"I've got a bird' -eye view of little sister with her pair parted
in the middle," big brother mutters quite audibly.
Daughter pushe back her chair and rises, flushed and angry.
"I wish I could shave all my hair off and wear a mattress," she erie
desperately, "then, perhap , you all would be satisfied!" and she runs
out into the hall.

"Oh, nonsen e,

a erts daughter. "How do you like my waist, mother, on me, I

"Very much; that shade of yellow always was becoming to

"Really, Helen, that child grows more unreasonable every day,"
unt Bernice complains. "I thought you were going to speak to her
about the length of that skirt."

"That's ju t the point, Margaret," mother and Aunt Bernice cry
in choru . "Why don't you be original in the way you dress?"

As the voices reach her, daughter gives her hal pin a vicious jab,

\Yv'hen we were Freshmen, we marched gallantly to the scene
of battle.
trange, fierce-looking commanders stood in wait to
muster us in. We were immediately ordered to meet ommander
in- hicf Remington, who warned us of the coming struggle and of
its many pitfalls.
He advi~ed us not to engage too fiercely at ~rst
in the combat, but to save our trength for times of cri•is in the war.
We, as a matter of fact, had to undertake a campaign against an
army which had a German left wing, a Latin right, an advance guard
of Algebra, and an aeroplane corps of English.

For the econd encounter we were transferred to the main battlefield, where we registered as ophomore re-enforcements. H ere we
wc::re placed under generals who were ~evere, but very tolerant of
our mistakes. We waged many battles with Composition and R hetoric, and Geometry hili was well fortified with originals and corollaries, so that we suffered many a defeat (with a capital D ) before
the conflict ceased. We again met with the forces of H istory under
different commanders of strict d iscipline. Those of us w ho tried
to profit by resar' s experience in the Gallic wars were hopele sly
lost. W e did not understand his methods of attack.

In the first battle of the "f. rosh" a few fell, for the field wa;
rough with Latin pits and entanglements.
It was r.o light task to
push through the English barracks built of personal pronour.s, unity,
coherence and emphasis. But with the constant prodding and e,couragement of our capable officers we galloped past those obst3cles
victoriously.

W e found the second year of the campaign filled with many
profitable ad\entures, ar.d ~ ·e feel better me!! tally equipped for
entering upon the next yrar of cholastic war. W~en we emerge O'l
commencement day all of us hope to be a d orned with a med al of

��1918
When Ea t Denver opened her door last eptember for the
clas of 1920 to enter, she experienced a shock. The halls and
room were flooded with a radiance which bade fair to rival the sun,
which was shining brilliantly outside. Whence came this glory?
It was issuing from her Freshmen (more commonly referred to as
scrub ) . Each youthful face was glowing with expectation and
uppres ed wisdom. They fairly knocked each other down in their
efforts to get in and get everythiPg arranged.
orne ran around the third floor in a vain attempt to find room
210 and then appealed to some self-satisfied Sophomore, who told
them that perhaps, 1f they lool{ed on the second floor they would see
the number two hundred and ten emblazoned over the door. Other
circled around the ba ement trying to find the reference library in
the girl ' lunch room and received a cold "Look in I 09" in answer
to their . 0.
They finally did settle down to really honest,
hard work. They've kept at it, too. If one of tho e brilliant
Junior would take a peep at some of the Fre hmen cards, he'd
discover that they had made as many "A's" for one quarter's work
as he had acquired for his entire Freshman year. Perhaps then he'd
feel a little respect for those scrubs. The.?' intend to keep on work-

ing for the entire four years, too, until they have won all the scholarships and anything else that can be won. The school board may
even have to invent something new for them to tackle. Thelma
Kauffman has received honorable mention in the Wolcott contest.
he would have won it, too, if Lydia Begole had only been a little
les brilliant in such things.
At the partie given this year by the Welfare Committee some
of the Freshmen danced so splendidly that they brought blushes of
shame to the upper classmen and made them turn green with envy.
Of course I'll admit that they haven't many tiny little "babe
in arm " like Tom Freeman, or Merwm Mitterwallner, but they
have several large huskie who really ought to have been allowed to
play football this year. They can play in a year or two, though,
and you ju t watch East Denver's football team in 1920 get the
championship again.
he'll win every game he plays in football,
then, a well a in basketball and ba eball.

��This building was already old when E. D. H. was built;
just think of it! Was old when even "Remy" was a boy.

Latin school. the ancient and honorable, was erected with the
first coming of the white man; and the memory of the oldest graduate
of the E. D. H. S. runneth not to the contrary.
We, the scholars, may be Fresh, but our honorable school has
tradition and dust, memories and rickety stairs, history and wornout
steps, as no other school in all Denver has. The little old lamp of
learning, erected in the dark ages, still burns under the eaves-a
rather solid flame, to be sure, but the spirit of the old place is there
and the spirits of departed teachers and innumerable pupils seem to
sigh through the cracks when the wind blows, and drift about us in
the dust raised by many feet. The creaking stairs, the loose floor
boards, the worn steps, all speak of other times, while the roar of the
auto, the smell of gasoline and oil, seem an insult to this old place
of learning.

o if we seem a little crude,

If some of us are somewhat rude,
If we're not strictly up to date,
And cannot always strike the gait
You older pupils do;
Just consider wher:ce we come,
That for us it's going some
To even get our pictures took
And have them printed in a book
Along with such as you.

MAHA • '17.

�ssembly in the lower hall is very trying for all concerned.
The Annual Board would like to suggest that another year some plan
might be thought of which would make it unnecessary to use the hall
in future for opening exercises.

Many noted men have poken to u during the four years of
our High chool course, and we of the Annual Board want to thank
Mr. Barrett in behalf of the school for getting the e gentlemen to
peak to us. We have been ver fortunate, as we have heard from
men prominent as educators, politicians, individualists, and investigator . These men in a great number of ca es have spoken to students
in the Ea t ide High chool only, and it was due to the zeal of
Mr. Barrett that we heard them. Their messages have been helpful
and inspiring, and let us hope that our principal will continue to have
such men speak to t~e students whene.,er there is an opportunity.

Each year it has been the custom of the enior Class of East
Denver to make a gift to the school. This year we believe the class
hould give the school some stage fittings, scenery and any other things
which would facilitate the giving of a play. Twice every year it has
been the duty of Mr. Pitts to beg, borrow or steal these various stage
accessories; and to get them up and in order has been a great task .
We advocate such a gift, although the class may have to co-operate
with another to procure all the necessary equipment. The name of
the class may not appear on a little bronze plate where everyone may
read it, but neverthele s our gift would give enjoyment to the whole
school.

The call has come for boys to aid in the production of food
upplies, and East Denver has not been found lacking. When boys
of Ea t Denver are called upon to bear arms for their country, there
will be a similar re ponse. That time has not yet come for those who
remain in the school. It will soon come to tho e who graduate.
orne
may be called on this year and some the next, but the call will surely
come to all of them. They will not be found wanting in defending
their nation, and all the knowledge gained at East ide will serve them
in this task. As the boys in the lower classes p:1. , then graduate,
they, too, will be summoned.
ow is the time to be preparing- the
more experience a boy has, the better he can serve his country. Our
cadet system helps to train boys to fight. But the mental activity that
comes from translating Latin and doing Algebra is helping to make
them think quickly and is helping to make the kind of a man who doe
the right thing at the right time in the trenches. It is the duty of the
boys who stay at home to do their be t in preparing them elves for the
fight that will come.

The lengthening of our working day ten minute has caused
quite a disturbance among the pupils of the school. On those who
mu t be at work by 3:00 o'clock, or who have to go to the bank, such
an arrangement imposes a number of hardships. If we could go back
to the old four-minute intermissions it would again be possible to close
at 2:35. The difficulty lies in the congestion at the main doors of the
two big study halls. If pupils would pass in and out at the right of
the door in Room 2 I 0, and u e the main door of I 08 in going out,
and the cloak hall door in entering, much of thi confusion would be
avoided and o would help us to regain tr e precious ten minutes at the
close of chool.

�The football season opened the econd week of school with
thirty-five men out for the team, including the seven letter menCaptain Mitterwallner, Me utcheon, Lamborn, Ward, Holland,
Briggs, and Freeman. There was much rivalry for the other positions, but Reeder, humaker, Allen, and Vickery showed such marked
ability that they earned the places on the team.
The championship series opened with outh Denver. At the
end of the half the score stood 7 to 0 in favor of outh Denver. But
in the last half East came back with her old fighting spirit and won
the game by a score of 1 3 to 7.
The second championship game was with We t. The team
went into the game over-confident and allowed West to make two
touchdowns before she realized what had haprened. But in ti-e
last half East made two touchdowns, but failed to kick goal, leaving the final score 1 3 to 12 .
This defeat seemed to be the stimulus that was needed to urge
them on to the championship, for the team practiced with a new vim
for the next two weeks. Our usual Thanksgiving game resulted
in an overwhelming victory for the Angels. From the first, Manual
seemed outclas ed, as Ea t made a touchdown in the first five minute

of play. In this game Goldie, playmg his first full game, showed up
in fine form in the fullba k po ition. The individuals who tarred
were Captain Mitterwallner, humaker, Holland, and Goldie.
The · orth game, which had been postponed on account of
snow, was played on December 9. This was the championship
game. East went into the game with odds against her on account
of her defeat by West.
Both teams were in excellent condition, and
each was determined to grab the flag.
East opened the game with
her steam-roller tactics, and by straight football and line plunges succeeded in making the first touchdown. In the last half the
ngel
were successful in making another touchdown, winning the game and
the championship by a score of I 3 to 7.
Much credit for the team's succe s is due to the excellent work
of oach Puffer, who was ably as i ted by aptain Mitterwallner.
ewton and Fred Brown.
pecial mention should be made of Bob
ing, who assisted oach Puffer much of the time.
aptain Mttter.

�aptain Briggs was out helping the newer men every night.
He also tied for first place in the pole vault and for third in the 220yard low hurdles.

East did not come away from the meet with first honors, but
made a good showing, nevertheless. The meet was not held on the
date originally set, on account of a bad rain, but was held a few
days later, while the track was still soft, so not many records were
broken.
Individual honor went to John "Zack" Jordan, who gathered
a total of eighteen points. Jordan won the 11 0-yard high hurdles,
tied for first place in both the pole vault and the 220-yard low
hurdles, and got second place in the broad jump and third in the
• high jump.
Williamson won the half mile race, making a new city record
of 2 :06:2. He also won second place in the mile race.

Much credit is due to Coach Hi\ll for the way in which he
handled the team, and to Manager Kni~el for the way in which he
managed the business of the team.
Ten men won their letters- Adams, Dunleavy, Briggs, Jordan,
Kelty, humaker, Hamilton, Knisel, Williamson and Dean.
Williamson was unanimously elected captain and Ladd was
chosen manager for next year's team.

had a successful season, nevertheless.
The school gave us the u e of the "Y"
tw1ce a week, where we had the be t
accommodations and facilities for practice. Coach Puffer worked faithfully,
training the fellows and teaching them
the fine points of the game. A "bunch"
of especially good material was developed for next year. The able player of the second team sometimes ran
up greater scores than the first team.
A large number attended every game,
showing that the old "East pep" never
dies, even in the face of defeat. We
had one good trip to Boulder, where
we won from the Boulder "Preps."
The men who received letters are:
Lamborn, Adams, Westergreen, White,
Hobbs, Hoyt, Archey and Phillips,
who will captain the team next year.
The scores are as follows:
East, 23; outh, 17.
East, 1 4; West, 30.

Much mtere twas taken m the G~rls'
Basketball Tournament this year. Our
hopes for the championship looked
bright at the first of the season, but our
veteran guard, Mabel Rem ch, left
school, thereby cripplmg our team considerably.
Our first game wa with West, in
which we lost in the last second of play,
but we won our next two games from
outh and Manual. When we met
West again we came back in our old
style, and won the game. This gave
us a clear road to the championship.
Our last game was with Manual, and
we lost. Over-confidence cau ed us to
lo e this game.
The season clo ed
with outh and East tied for second
place.
A great deal of the success of this
year's team is due to our coach, Allen
Chamberlain, and Anna Riley, our
captain.
We had two girls make "the all-star

Anna Riley as forward.

The team at the beginning of the season had but four letter

Captain Cowen a winning combination, and one that East can be
proud of was turned out. The team won the first two games, but
when they met Manual, in the third contest of the season, they were

§illt lli!Jlr'n i!liograplm of §iilrburun
ir Robert Redd ideburns having made a mark for htmself
in the field of literature at the age of forty-two years seven month
three day and a half, to be exact, it wa altog ther fitting and
proper that His Royal Highne s should appoint ir Humphrey ilklyle, the noted pro e writer of the twentieth century, to write a short
but complete biography of the poet's life and works.
ir Humphrey ilklyle, in compliance with His Majesty's most
honored request, ucceeded in getting the biography published after a
great deal of wrangling and disputing with the bookbinders, who
manifested great sympathy towards the public.
By some strange freak of nature, ir Humphrey Silklyle's book
still remains unharmed and beloved by all reader of bad literature.
It is with the greate t plea ure, therefore, that we, the publishers, submit to the innocent public this wonderful volume of ir Humphrey
ilklyle.
In a little thatched cottage, way off amid the wild sagebrush
of cotland, one day in the year 1871, Robert Redd ideburns came
to grace the universe with his immortal presence, aye, undying fame.
He was the youngest of a family of thirteen children. His
father was a wearer of the frock, and his mother a woman of great
genius in the way of cooking and dish-washing. Both of these fond
parents devoted their pare time to the instruction of their thirteen
children.
At the age of nine the potato crop having declared generous
dividends to the ideburns, little Robert was sent to the village school
to obtain an education worthy of his already budding genius. His
only work that he gave to the world at this time was the clever
little ditty:
"Gurgle, gur le, ltttle brook,
0
How I wonder how you 'II look
When you meet the ·:&gt;cean deep,
On whose banks graze many 3heep."

The rest of this gem has been lost to a sorrowing public. The
cause: Little Robert's love for flinging round paper balls, called
spitballs in this day and age.

Whde attendmg thi mslttullon of learning, our young hero's
constitution was lightly weakened owing to the contraction of several
disea es, namely, German measles, chicken-pox, mumps, scarlet fever,
diphtheria and the like.
bout this time his parents took Robert to the country to recuperate. His imagination look Right in the form of a number of
airy doggerels, among which are, "Ode to a Blade of Grass" and
"The Pebbles That hine in the tream, T ra-la."
fter spending one quiet year in thi manner, ideburns returned to the village school.
At the age of fourteen, the fact that the potato crop again
declared dividends was hailed as a piece of right good luck. Robert
Redd ideburns was acknowledged now the brains of the family,
and the remaining twelve took a back seat m order that Robert's
talent for writing might gel a fair how.
The potato crop riche were piled at hi feet that he might
derive the benefit therefrom and he did, all right. He became a
scholar of the famou Uni\ ersity Empty-head, on the banks of tLe
Rhineube. When he wasn't enjoying life he was compiling a volume
the title of "' hich was " hoice Ver e." Fortunately, the dormitory
in which he stayed was destroyed by lire, and the unlir.ished book
with it.
ideburns was too discouraged to begin anew, so for two
years he gave him elf up to the study of the joys of life.
But a sad day descended upon the ideburns fa~ily, like unto
an eagle that swoop down upon its prey. Mr. ideburns, Robert's
father, while out in the field one day, was kicked by a mule, and,
as he had been ailing for everal years, this event only hastened his
entrance into the "happy hunting grounds."
ideburns ha tened home and took his place as head of a
family of thirteen females his mother and twelve sisters.
At this period ideburns, in a desperate frame of mind, wrote:
"Take me off lo the trenches,
nd shoot me through the head,
W1th thirteen women on my hands
I mtght as well be d~ad ."

�the offender. His Royal Temper knew no bounds, and tdebt.rns
was exiled to the Island of Saint Elbow for a period of t\•·ent)
years.
Many and beautiful are the poems sung in sad strains to the
accompaniment of the lapping waves. His most noted ones being,
"The Bats That Build Their
ests Above," and another. written
in honor of His Majesty, which ideburns had the presence of m;nd
to place in a bottle and fling far out in the sea. Just a.&lt; he had
planned, it was discovered and conveyed to the Royal Palace.
In a short time Sideburns was allowed to return to his native
country. The Queen was dead, His Majesty was very kind to him,
and not long after this crowned him poet-laureate, thus showing to the
world that no ill-feeling existed between them any longer.
Concerning the remaining years of ideburns' life, there is
little to be said. He enjoyed it to the highest degree. His Majesty
and he were the greatest of pals-they ate, drank and hunted together.
On his forty-fifth birthday a great feast was held in his honor.
Upon returning home a rainstorm overtook him. He got wet feet, and
died the next day with pneumonia. Great was the sorrow of the
land, for the country had lost its most brilliant ornament.
The poet was given a prominent place in his own home town.
His remains were placed under the shade of the one and only tree
that the churchyard could boast of.
Pilgrimages are yearly made to his tomb, and those who visit
it may read the epitaph composed shortly before his death, in Sir
Robert Redd Sideburns' own quaint, inimitable style:

(Here it would be fitting perhaps to remark that because of a
strong resemblance between ideburns' twelve sister and a deceased
great-aunt they were as yet quite single.)
However, luck, for once, took ideburns by surpnse. During the two following years in which he gave himself up to the care
of potatoes, his mother remarried this time a man of some means
and six of his sisters charmed six blind and innocent laddies.
The wedding bells rang merrily over the Sideburns homesteld.
The six remaining spinsters went to dwell with their delighted mamma,
who had moved to the city.
Thus at the age of twenty-one or thereabouts we find RobPrt
Redd Sideburns free to choose his own course. His love for gaiety
and city life led him to direct his ambitious footsteps toward the
capital.
For a year he sold shoe strings on the corner of the busiest
thoroughfare. Or.e day fate willed that ideburns should read an
"ad" in the Post. His Most Gracious Majesty was in need of a
lackey to com·ey tl-:e Royal Chocolate Pot to his bedside each mornmg. Sideburns at once aJ:plied for the job, and, as he had a pleasing
countenance, His Majesty favored him.
In this atmosphere of pomp and splendor, Sideburns' poctir;
soul know no bounds. In less than three months he had compiled
three volumes of immortal verse.
To his great distress and discomfiture, he one day let fall on tl,e
counter-pane, while attending His Majesty, a scrap of paper UJ..IOn
which were written the lines:

"Here lie my remains, as cold as cold can be.
I loved ltfe, but death too soon
My spmt caused to Ree.
May those who read thts epitaph,
httle ptty feel,
And put a few buds on my grave,
1\s by my stde they kneel."

"Fair Queen, wtth teeth ;o pearly white,
And ha~r hke fisher's net,
With hps of cherry hue,
And eyes of blackest jet,
I Lov - "

We think that the Royal Bell interrupted him at thi poit:t
At any rate the poem ended here, and His Majesty's wrath began.
It took him two minutes to learn that his lackey, ideburns, \\as

heard the Doctor say he had carlet fever and that a "Rag" must
be put upon the house to warn others as to the disease, he wondered
vaguely what good an American Rag would do to keep others away.
His little sister Ellen, who had fir t slyly found out that a Alg was
a large red and yellow ign with the words " carlet Fever" on it,
lorded it over Billy for days, screeching just outside his door (before
he had become so very sick), that "he didn't even know what a
Rag was- didn't even know what a Rag was," until he would
willingly have given five years of his life to pound Ellen until she
could screech no more! Then the Doctor came with his nurse, ard
that nune, poor soul! had been Billy's refuge. On her he had
taken out all his fretfulness when so very sick, his cr:mkine s wre'l
a little better, and now all his excess energy while he was getti · g
well.
he wa a sweet-faced and trong young woman of about
twenty-five, and her name was Mary Rath . Billy had no more
idea of eternally calling her Miss Rath than of jumping out of bed
and l~iss ing Ellen, whom he hadn't e\ en seen in all tLose weeks.
o he just called her "Ratsy." Mis Rath didn't seem to mind,
and I doubt if it would have done her any good if she had cared.
All that time Ratsy and her young charge had occupied two adjoining rooms, which were curtained off from the rest of the upstairs,
and they had become very well acquainted with each other. Last
week the Doctor had taken a culture of Billy's throat, only to return
with the verdict, "Po itive," which to Billy meant those blamed
scarlet fever bugs were still hanging 'round him, and he couldn't
leave his room for another week.
o now he sat very still. reflecting.

Billy was sitting still and thinking! Another week of torture
was almo t gone; another week of separation and isolation from hi
family, friends and, in fact, the world. This fact had repeated
itself in Billy's mind until he could almost say it backwards. And
now, as he sat propped up in bed, waiting for his dinner, and thinkinJ
over the same afore-mentioned bit of news, he suddenly awoke to
the fact that tomorrow would, maybe, end his misery; that is, if the
Doctor could be prevailed upon to say "yes" if he meant "no" and
"no" if he meant that.
Billy was a boy, and a human one at that. And more, he was
thirteen. To some people, arriving at the age of thirteen, means
very little, but to Billy it had meant a great deal, for he had just
come to think and feel himself very important in the affairs of his
family. He was rather short, and inclined to fit the saying, "Fa t
and good-natured." His small, twinkly eyes could look at you
angelically one minute with his freckles, pug nose, and mouth continually grinning, all combining to make his being a perfect picturt'
of amiability, sugar weetness (that was almost too sweet) and friendliness. But the next! If woman is as changeable as the wind, then
Billy had a day in olorado where all kinds of weather are exhibited
at once, backed to the wall. There was one point in Billy's favor:
he never could hold a grudge against anyone longer than fifteen
minutes, and it was this which endeared him to everyone he met, saw,
or came in contact with.
He had been taken sick with scarlet fever five weeks ago, and
five weeks had passed in which he suffered miserably from the disease itself. but now he was suffering from a disease which comes to
meet convalescents, that of being in a tormenting, peevish. remorseful, teasing and angelic frame of mind all at once. Billy had
reached that stage. If those five weeks of sickness had meant much to
Billy, what had it meant for his mother and nurse? When he had

Just then Miss Rath came in with a basin of water.
"Aw, say, Ratsy, Iemme get up an' eat outa bed, won't you?
I'll do anything a' tall, Ratsy, go on," coaxed Billy in his most
wheedling voice.

�Ratsy smiled, but grasping at the aforesaid words of that
young gentleman to do anything she wanted, as a drowning person
grasps at a rope, she said quickly, "If I do, will you soak your feet
for a good half hour after a while?"

the stillness. Instantly the household was aroused.
Ratsy came
flying . Billy precipitated himself into the other room. Mother ran
to the wailing Ellen. The little girl was bent almost double, her
head was hanging, she was shaking it as if she had been stung by a
thousand bees.

"You bel!
ow come on, Ratsy, where's my slippers an'
my shirt an'" flinging back the bed covers with an arm fast
becoming strong and forceful, Billy began rummaging at the foot
end of the bed for his various apparel. After sending the winded
Ratsy on a dozen and one trips to the other room to help find first
his knife- he must have that to cut his orange-then his dressing
gown, and then something else he forgot to tell her the first time,
Billy was sitting in state again waiting for his dinner.

"What on earth's the matter, Ellen?" gasped mother, looking
askance at Ellen's head, a mass of curls that seemed forever inextricably glued together by a brownish, soft substance oozing in a
myriad of streams down her face.
"G-g-gravy, an' Billy," sobbed Ellen, in a despairing voice,
trying to wipe away the tears, thereby smearing her face all the
more. Billy upstairs broke into a gale of laughter. He had been
frightened for an instant, but now that no harm was done-"it only
got on Ellen's hair"-he had doubled up in a chair, laughing and
gasping in the most contagious manner possible. Then suddenly
his loud gaiety was checked by the loud ringing of the telephone bell.
Billy listened a minute almost breathlessly to the inflection of his
mother's voice over the phone, and then, with another giggle lost all
interest in the person on the phone.

In the other room was the dumb waiter, on which had been
~ent to him all his meals from the kitchen.
ow as he heard
rr.otl&gt;er put t~e steaming dishes on its shelves to send up, Billy had

an idea!
He would surprise Ratsy and pull up their dinner himself. He tiptoed into the other room, softly opened the door of the
dumb waiter chute, called down, "All right" in a high nasal voice,
which h&lt;' vainly tried to make like Ratsy's, and pulled.
Down stairs he heard Ellen say in an important tone, ''I'll see
that Ratsy gets it all right, mother," and Ellen poked her head up
the black hole to watch the disappearing trays. And just at this
moment came the inevitable. Billy never could tell how it happened, but in pulling he had shaken the "dummy" and the dishes
rattled. Then before his very eyes the dish containing that wonderful brown hot gravy spilled, and dish and all went dripping through
the narrow space that was between the dummy and the wall, and
landed on something decidedly human.

Ten minutes later he noticed a scrap of white paper under the
door. He stared at it, a questioning look in his twinkly eyes, then
walked slowly to the spot and picked it up.
In big scrawly letters
he found this epistle:
"Mr. Gravy-spiller: The Doctor told mother you still got the Bugs, an'
you didn't even know what a Bag was, an' you gotta stay m some more, an'
you'll be Awful Sorrie 'cause I'll never watch your dinner up that black hole
again, an' mother says jus' 'cause my hairs so sticky you gotta show me how to
whisll .
" 'Spec'fully an' your truli,

One horrible long and almost everlasting second of silence,
which seemed to Billy as if it never would end. just as he was
beginning to despair of ever hearing poor little Ellen's voice in this
world again, a piercing shriek, seemingly uttered by the god of oise
and Discord himself, which was followed by another, broke upon

- Ellen Mariella Warren ."

And Billy was sitting still, thinking.

In the year 191 6 the chool Board voted to e tabli h military
training in the high chools of Denver, and the United tales War
Department dispatched Lieut. William
aile, a graduate of We t
Point, and ergt. P. T. O'Toole of the regular army to organize
and drill the cadet corps of the various high school of Denver.
When it was learned that the long hoped for cadet corps was
to be no longer a mere dream, but at last a reality, the greatest enthusiasm was shown. Everyone was talking drills and army regulations.
quads of boys were making mysterious trips to the base
ment, where they endured various thumpings and pounding . went
through certain startling contortions under the supervi ion of hi

maje ty, the doctor, and were finally told that they were fit to join
thi organization . In spite of the fact that the organization of the
corps did not begin until the latter part of the school year, and that
each cadet had to agree to pay fifteen dollars for a uniform, more
than fifty boy "fell in" at fir l drill. Boys of every class in the
school were here, of e' ery height, and of every age, for this is no
"exclusive" organization, its only requirements being: physical fitness,
obedience, and trict attention to business.
At one of the fir t meetings held, Kate Chase was elected
sponsor for the company. As sponsor, M iss Chase is to all intents
and purposes an active member of the company, and ha a right to

appoint six assistants. The girl selected by Miss hase as her assistants were: Dorothy Beyer, Elma Harvey, Margaret Roosevelt,
Elizabeth Morning, Marie Melzer and Magnolia Pitts. The company also elected four men to act as its temporary leaders.
Now followed many drills in the early morning before school,
or in the evening after classes. Many times in heavy snow or sphs1ing mud, and nearly always in bitter cold, the company did it ~
"squads right column left." But the boys stayed with it; few were
ever absent at roll call, and finally there came a time when no one
tried to execute a "squads right" when "squads left" was given.
A board wall over eight feet high has been built, and at every

The Latin chool Cadets organized at the same time as did the
main building boys, with a roll call of fifty-nine members. Their
sponsor is Elizabeth Rendle. Regularly every Tuesday, Thursday
and Friday they come together for drill, and are fast shaping into the
best drilled squad in the city. Even now they have beaten the Main
Building Cadets in wall scaling by two seconds, their time being nine
second .

Three lovely rooms for them were madeA cooking room all white,
A dining room, where feasts are laid,
Another nice and bright.
The mysteries of cook-book rule

For now they have a cooking school
That makes things to our joy.

Did'st know we have some chefs supreme
At this big school of ours?
And did thou know thev were the cream
Of all East's fairest flowers?

Their powers to bestow
On some big, soft and flabby piece
Of white and yielding dough.

forced to get along without the leadership of its founder, Mr. Kester,
but he till exercises a great deal of influence through letters. The
purpose of the K. A . . is to promote clean athletics, clean speech
and clean living. Its membership is limited to those who have taken
an active part in athletics. Its officers for 191 7 are:

the tate Debatmg League.
The fir t debate took place on January 12 when thi school
debated w1th outh Denver. The question wa : "Re olved, That
a Pohcy of hipping ubsid1e Be Adopted tn the
nited tales
merican Merchant
for the Encouragement and Protection of the
Marine." East upheld the negative side of the que tion. The
deci ion was 2-1 in favor of outh.
The lo s of the econd debate, a double-header, sounded the
death knell of our champion hip hopes.
olorado prings had e,tered the Denver di'1 ion at the Ia t moment. We were notified
of our double debate with them, contrary to schedule. Thi o
up et plan a to make a chool tr out practically impo ible. As
the ongres Debating ociety of this school had already arranged
for a pnvate debate with olorado prings, they represented East
in the state contest. Both d bate were held on the night of February 16. " ompulsory Military ervice" was the subject debated.
There wa a decision again t u in both places.
The third debate wa with Arvada, and East, a in the outh
debate, upheld the negative ide of the ub idy question.
Our
team was victoriou , winning a 2-1 decision. This debate put new
hope into the otherwise gloomy outlook.
Ea t again met outh in a double debate which closed the
state debating season. A the rvada victory evened the first outh
defeat so the unanimous East victory at both ends evened the Colorado pnng di aster. The que tion wa : "Re olved, That the
Federal Government hould Own and Operate All the Telegraph
and Telephone Lines." The home team upheld the affirmative side
while the team that went to outh Denver sustained the negative.
Though the sea on has not been as succe sful as some of us
may have wished, the students should remember that the "school
support," which is very necessary for the success of any team, was
at the beginning of the year very weak. To the effort of the
coache , Whitenack and Potter, and
s i tant
oach obol, the
succe of the teams i due.

Th1 year marked the tenth annual debate between Pueblo,

was: "Be It Resolved, That ompulsory Arbitration Be Adopted
in the United tales." Although this question was of national importance, and 'ery difficult to handle, both of our team presented
their re pective sides with great logic and fluency.
fter a hard
and brilliant debate, however, the judges decided in favor of our
opponents. The ongressmen who compo ed the team were: Hugh

On April I 3, 191 7, an East Denver team composed of Walter
Rath, Dwight Morgan and Gus Vogel, debated at Longmont with
a team from the High chool there on "Government Ownership of
the Telegraph and Telephone Lines." Longmont had very graciously trimmed the stage in East Denver colors. The team from
East Denver wa composed entirely of member of the Forum, who
supported the negative side and won the debate by a decision of
2-1. The night following Longmont sent a team here to debate
with our affirmative team, compo ed of Euge:Je Freedheim. Carlos

(Two tramps appear on horizon, walking the ties, one an ousted
stage manager, the other a rank barnstormer out of a job.)
Stage Manag er (carrying a heavy sack of gold on his back)
remarks lucratively, "Well, I claim this is not half bad, not half bad,
making all this money."
Barnstormer (with small mustache set at a rakish angle)-"We
certainly ought to have cleaned up a pile, as we had two good hou es,
thanks to the spirit of old East Denver."
Stage Manager-"And thanks to the 'pep' and hard work Mr.
Pitts donated to the good cause of making actors out of raw students."
Barnstormer (musing to himself) -"E leanor Handy certainly
did make some leading lady; s~e was so well adapted to the part of
' uzanne.' ''

Stage Mana&amp;er- " What's that you're mumbling?"
Barnslormer- " Don't you remember the great hunt for the
' crap of Paper' during t~e second act?"
Stage Manager- " Do I? And 'Madame de Ia Glaciere'
(Lydia Begole)? Her sob stuff had wonderful realism."
Barnslormer-"She was good, all right. And so was Willa
Ferris as 'Mathilde' when she was all dressed up in that riding
scenery.
Stage Manager-"And cute, too, I think. And of all wonders, Magnolia Pitts as 'Mademoiselle Zenobie' made an admirable
old maid."
Barnsiormer- " How she did keep 'Anatole' on the jump!
Mary Belle !~holson as 'Pauline' had some new and original ideas
about servants.
Stage M anager-"Yes, and if she had some 'Parisian Correspondents' I should not be surprised. But Hazel Miles as the prim
housekeeper, 'Madame Dupont,' certainly kept her in her place, between dusting the furniture and feeding the canary."
Barnslormer-"But when that monocled icicle, 'Baron de Ia

Glaciere' (Lucius Hoyt), came in, everybody in the house felt a
cold draft."
Stage Manager (softly and lightly) " 'Here Fidele.' Moreland Humphries as 'Brisemouche' was a gifted collector of curiosities,
which he collected from Mr. Cannon's cases."
Barnslormer-"Harold Wagner as 'Anatole' was a fast young
gentleman, but he fell for two bright eyes."
/age Manager-"What could you expect with such socks?
But he had nothing on Dan Cushley, who led a double life as
'Bapl!ste' and 'Francois' -faithful servants' parts, which he fitted
to a 'T'."
Barnslormer-"What was that disturbance between acts?"
Stage Manager- "Why, that was the high school orchestra
rendering pleasing and popular selections to the delight of the
audience."
Barnslormer- "What are you going to do with that sack of
gold you're dragging around?"
Stage Manager- "Why, Congress and Min erva are going to
present that to t~e school to create a fund for debating and other
literary activities."
Barnslormer-"Good enough; but it seems to me there is something we left out."
Stage Manager-" Didn't I see you adorning the stage?"
Deep silence on the part of the barnstormer.
Stage Managcr-"Yes it was you. You can't hide it from me.
You portrayed the part of 'Prosper.'
ay, you were handsome li 1&lt;e
Bushman-when you were made up. But in ~pite of your looks,
you made a good leading man.
Barnslormer-"Aw! have a heart! You're a fir.e scene shifter,
but as a critic---! Yet all in all, it was a fine story and they
played it well. And, what's more, it was a great financial success,
even if the price was reduced to 15 cents. Perhaps you know something about that; how about it?"
Deep and prolonged silence.

Ha\e you ever heard of East DenverT~e wonderful school of the West,
Wbcre learnmg is dealt out in carload •

But I fir t must read my letter5

quickly as I can.

' l hese teacher I'll tell more about 'em,
For t~ey are an inter~sting lot;
They've all got their hobbie and fancie.
nd know what trey want, and what not.

nd then I eat my luncheon
I'm hungry as can be;
nd when I'm through the telephone
Rmgs long and loud for me.

Mercy and pity they have none;
Take delight in giving out "D's";
It's seldom that " 's" are the fashion;
t most it i u ually "C's" .

Ruth want me to go katmg .. katmg 1 fine, you know"o I cast my care behmd me,

These teacher of ours are qUite " ot.
If one should ugge t an Improvement,
For him they would st•re make it hot.

After we dme my chum come in,
And we hat 'till almost nine;
When he goes home I grab my books,
But the word dance on the line.

The years don't change or destroy them;

�TO AN INK-WELL

When East began at 9:00 o'clock,
With books beneath my arm
hastened promptly into school
And never came to harm.

ow, little ink-well, don't you sighWe're hard on you I know,
For the paper wads
And bits of chalk
Have filled and choked you so;
But wait 'till our school days go byNow, little ink-well, don't you sigh.

But since they cut my morning hour
Far shorter than I sought,
Just at the time I need it most,
I can't do half I ought.

Now, little ink-well, don't you sighYou're sorely grieved I know,
'Cause the tricks we did
And your broken lid
Did vex your patience so;
But you'll get a new lid by and byNow, little ink-well, don't you sigh.

nd now it's always, "Hurry up,
Here comes the eight-ten car;
Don't stop for any breakfast,
But go just as you are."
And if I don't get the car
On that speedy eight-ten trip,
I can't get in my home room
Without a little slip.

ow, little ink-well, don't you sighWe have been unfair, I know;
You've served so well
For quite a spell;
And when we're gone we'll miss you so;
But just you wait-behave we'll tryNow, little ink-well, don't you sigh.

So trouble dogs my footsteps
Wherever I may go.
They say the good old times were best,
And that is truly so.

Keep things moving 'till the poor Profs.

The lunchroom stove has baked with greatest care;
Full many a sauce on finest pudding laid,
With pleasant odors fill the basement air.

Grade exams, all kinds galore;
Fails asleep upon the paper Wakes to find school is no more.

�WHE

WE MEET TO SAY GOOD-BY

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

I N'T IT?

Even we girls of East Denver High
Have felt war's oppression so great,
If you will believe it 'tis sad, but true,
We've come to a terrible fate.
Our brave, bold companions, the boys of our class,
Have decided war's heroes to be,
o they're leaving to shoulder the rake and the spade
In numbers alarming to see.
They want to be farmers and help raise the crops
That are going this nation to feed;
\Ve must watch them go with a smile on our face,
Although we bewail them, indeed!
For on that great night, when we all graduate,
'Twill be such a sad sight to see

A "Young Ladies' eminary."

THE BA QUET WE DIDN'T EAT
The class day party was over,
And slowly we walked down the street,
Pensively and dreamily,
Thinking of good things to eat.
"The banquet was fine," said my friend to me;
"Such wonderful consomme!
And that chicken patty- I can taste it yet."
And the child smiled blissfully.
I looked at my friend in amazement.
Was the poor girl losing her mind?
"What do you mean? I saw no patty,
0 consomme so fine."
But now again she was raving
In that same delirious way.
he's in Pueblo now, poor girl!
And there forever she'll stay.

�1J1rom tijr Annual ~narb 1i ~tanbpnint

It has been the policy of the Annual Board to introduce as
many new ideas as possible into the 191 7 Annual. The members of
the Board have become experts in messenger service; they are worthy
of positions as editorial writers on the
ew York Times; and they
might set up a photographic studio and make plenty of money. They
have worked o' nights and used study hours to turn out the best book
possible. If the under classes don't like it as it is, they can try to
make a better one next year. If the Seniors object, it was their fault
for electing such a Board. However, the editors are human, and they
probably have made gross blunders of the worst sort, but they ask to
be pardoned, and would like to suggest that if these errors are too bad
for your sensitive eye, a blot of ink is an excellent eradicator. As a
last resort it may do your feelings good to vent them on the Board,
and if this is the case, write us a letter; and, if you want an answer,
enclose a stamped, addressed envelope, and we will attempt to mollify
your feelings toward us with plenty of good excuses.

�IN MEMORIAM

HUGH EDWARDS BARRETT
RAYMOND McPHEE
MORRIS SOBEL
HARRY OBORN
These are the first four graduate of Ea t Side
High School who have made the supreme sacrifice.
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.

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.

THE SENIOR PROM
The Seniors and Alumni held their annual dance on December 29,
at El Jebel Temple. Three hundred couples were present. The
feminine portion of the surging mass dazzled the Mazdas with their
brilliance, and the masculine portion-well, they just tried to serve as
reflectors. Everybody had a fine time except the stars on the outside;

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.
To the Seniors of tomorrow, the Class of 1919, we extend our
heartiest greetings.
FRA cEs DoYLE.

they had the best eats and danced some more at the Spring Party- they

�We of the Junior Class caught the v1s1on of a "Greater E. D.
H. . " 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.

Buy a Bond!

72

Some stand on the corners while they shout
For dear old Uncle Sam,
They wave a hand, and sing a songBut often they are sham.

A bond of Liberty he sells;
So, patriots, come and buy!
Make cheers and vcws mean loyalty,
Make life and money vie.

They yell, "Hurrah l for Liberty I''
They say, ''Our boys are line!"
But not a cent will they give up
On Ltberty 's sacred shrine.

The soldiers give their very allCan't you give up a while
By sacrificing pretty things
To help increase the pile?

A bond is out of question,
They have no money now,
But they'll get several "next" time
(At least such is their vow.)

There isn't time to wait and think;
Your country needs it now,
For every bond will help the cause
To make the Germans bow.

But Uncle am is much in need,
He wants the nation's aid;
And more than idle words and songs
Must at his feet be laid.

Buy all the bonds that you can get,
And then just buy one more .
Your money's safe that way-please help
To make us safe from war.

�The Office
It's down a long, long passage way,
And a desk sits at its end.
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.

�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.

�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.

�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.

�Although many of the inhabitants of Mt. Olympus have
passed from the memory of men, Minerva still holds her honored
seat.
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.

�REEN STOCKINGS
Alia the Congress-Minerva Play
In the dim past a pair of Green Stockings was bought by Mr. Pitts,
to be used by Congress and Minerva in their eighth annual play. 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.

�everal of the stars on the East Denver Service Flag repre ent men who were at one time members of the Forum.
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.

�Although East Denver's Debating teams were not so successful this year,
as might have been hoped, in the matter of winning decisions, still, all things
considered, the results secured were in every way worth while.
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.

It consisted of sixty

The Glee Club frequently led the school in the singing of patriotic songs and on special occasions it gave musical
numbers, as in the exercises at the Stevens Oratorical Contest and Wolcott Reading Contest. It also took part in the
Class Day Exercises.
The Club could hardly have been a success without the able assistance of Mr. Whiteman, Supervisor of Music.
Under his guidance the Glee Club was able to sing many of the difficult songs of three and four parts.

(With Apologies)
"You are old, Mr. enior," the Freshman said,
"And your face shows the mark of much care,
"Yet you joke in the lunch room while you're being fed;
You should study, and not loiter there."
"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."

�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.

�BASEBALL, '17
The baseball nine of 'I 7 had gone through almost the whole season with but one
defeat, when the call was sent throughout the country for young men to work on the farms.
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.

�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.

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.

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.

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.

The second year of the H . A . C. Club has been a crowning success for the outdoor enthusiasts of the school. The aim of the club is
to establish good fellowship without, as well as within the school, and to
instill in its members a love for the clean living and ideals encouraged
by a life in the out-door. Mr. R. S. Pitts is the faculty representative
and leader of the club. The officers for the year :

The K. A . C. was organized nine years ago by several students,
under the guidance of Mr. Roy B. Kester. The club stands for clean
speech, clean living, and clean athletics. Mr. Kester left for Columbia
College three years ago and for two years Mr. Fred V. Bliss acted as

WELFARE COMMITTEES

The East Denver Red Cross Auxiliary was formed in October,
191 7. 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.

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.

�MR. 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.

�" ammie Dear"
Oh, Sammie dear, I really fear
You will not greatly care
For letters such as I can write,
No matter how I persevere.
My task an easier one would be
If I could just put on my specs and see
A little more about your pastHow long ago you went to East,
If you are married, single, free,
Or waiting for a girl like me
To get beyond the school-day stage,
Do up her hair, and be the rage.
I'm struggling to translate my French,
And surely hope that when you land
In that far realm of pretty girls,
Before you're sent into the trench,
You'll make them fully understand
"Oh, permettez-moi d'embrasser votre main"
(Oh, let me kiss your hand).
I tell you, Sammie, here at East
Fond loyal hearts will cheer you on;
Our knitting may not bring you joy,
For some of it is fierce-oh, boyWe really wish to help you win,
nd bring back home the Kaiser's skin.
ow, if more of thi kind of cheer
You think you really wish to hear,

FRIE D
DEAR OLD PAL:

After being entertained for fifteen minutes of study hour by our
old mutual friend, "Bill" Shakespeare, in his " oliloquy on Retribution," or word to that effect, I am going to place him in the dusty
recesses of my desk, and put upon you the burden of reading one of my
letters. 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." One look at our 400-star service flag
will tell you what we are doing. - - - - (Dashes denote lapse of
time and thought at this point.) Miss Irwin, a moment ago, seemed
greatly attracted by the graceful movement of my jaw, and as a re ult
the waste basket is one wad of gum the richer. Take time out aga.in for
the recovering of some of my thoughts lo t in the echoes of a giggling
damsel behind me. Yes, we still have them here. 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,

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.

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.

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

�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.

�• 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."
