Prophecy
(Library in Dr. and Mrs. Allison's (nee Betty Ross) New York residence.) Dr. (reading in big chair) mutters to himself. “I’m certainly glad he got it. Good old Tommy Seeley, Secretary of the Treasury, he’s sure good."
Mrs. A. (rushing in)—"What shall we do? What shall we do!" Dr. A.—"For heaven’s sake, what's the matter with you?"
Mrs. A.—"What shall we do? Our maid left!"
Dr. A.—"Which one?"
Mrs. A.—"The head one, Grace Igo. She ran off with that horrid grocery boy, White Magee."
Dr. A.—"And company coming for dinner, too." (Sinking down in chair.) Phone rings, ting-a-ling.
Mrs. A.—"Hush." (answers phone) "Yes, is that so?—Well, isn't that too bad?—Can't you possibly come?—You don't say!—Well, I thought something like that was going to happen pretty soon, (chuckles)—All right then, you'll be over tomorrow evening? Goodbye, dear.” (Leaving lhe phone, and heaving a sigh.) "Luck must be with us,’ Ellen and Francis Sheehan aren’t coming over to dinner tonight. Ellen’s cousin, Janet Raney, has surprised her folks bv getting married to Scott Brady. How well I remember Ellen Weir, and Janet.”
Dr. A.—"I don't care who’s getting married, I’m glad no one's coming to dinner though. Suppose we go to the Follies this evening?" Mrs. A.—"O yes, and let's go to the Biltmore for dinner."
Dr. A.—-"All right, you know that's managed by John Burdick, he was one of our fellow-graduates at C. S. H. S. And I especially like the assistant head waiter, Raymond Gruner."
Mrs. A.—"Do you know who’s running the Follies now?"
Dr. A.—"No, who?”
Mrs. A.—"Ida Sigler and Bill Fisher are directors, their head chorus girl is Gail Burnett, the chorus consists of Fern Rader, Nina Adair, Gladys Carna han, Agnes Stevensen, Delma Drake, Charlotte Rhodes, Esther Patrick, Bessie Livingston, Isabelle Stewart, Jane Brooker, Ethel Clark, and Mildred Wiles."
Dr. A.—"Yes, and some of the noble stage hands are Danforth Hale, Kirk Stealy, Marshall Nunn, Arthur Vance, and Simeon Wilbur. Mrs. A.—"Why, my dear Paul, do you realize that all these people we’ve mentioned graduated with us?"
Dr. A.—"Of course, and we’ve got to mention all the rest of them, too. before we get through with this prophecy."
Mrs. A.—"This afternoon while I was over to Ruth’s house, you know Ruth Wilkins, who married Frank McAfee, well, she was telling me that Frank had received a letter this morning from Spud Tait, from South Africa, saying that he was coaching the girls in football; his assistant coaches were Erma Adams and Eleanor Peak, they both had so much coaching experience, you know. The letter was written by his stenographer, Orpha Lewis; he also 'said that Elmer Cox and Dana Burch and George Quick were working in the diamond mines owned bv Tenney Gray, who is now engaged to Gladys Aider son. Mary Ben Cather asked Dana to many her, and as he was broke he 12
accepted, but as soon as he gets on his feet again he’s going to marry Dorothea Dudley, who is now’ conducting an asylum for destitute cats in Peking, She has lots of helpers, a few of whom we know, Bonnie Walker, Helen Ebb, Marie Gillespie, and John Heckman (janitor). Marie Kapelke and Georgia Stevenson are there running a new cafeteria, somewhat like the one at C. S. H, S."
Dr. A.—(Reads from paper.) “By the way, our highbrow friend, Ed. Howbert, is now president of Iceland. He's married to Marion Huron, Arline Wilt, and Lelia Plyley. The G. & G. Circus, owned by Ralph Girling and George Gallagher, is now making itsfirst appearance there. Some of the bareback riders are Augusta Polant, Thelma Conway, Julia Stetson, Hildred Taylor, Mildred Van Scoy, and Mabel Boutellier. They say that Ivan Burton, Herbert Sanford, William Rottman, and MerleClow are carrying water for the elephants. Wanda Fuller is a snake charmer, Adelaide Easly and Janet Hetherington are animal tamers, and Andrew Nelson and Louis Cramer are acrobats."
Mrs. A.—"Fawncy that," (picks up 1919 annual.)
Dr. A.—(Advancing towards Mrs. A.) “What! Ed. Patterson, with love- autographed in your book! What do you mean?"
Mrs. A, -"Well, what of it? When he wrote that in there, he was simply mad about Irma Patton."
Dr. A.—"Maybe he was, but whom did he marry?"
Mrs. A.—"Why Irma of course!"
Dr. A.—"No indeed he didn’t, he and Luella Satterfield are missionaries down in China."
Mrs. A.—"Is that so? What did Irma do, commit suicide?" Dr. A,—"1 should say not, she and Ruth Patton are typical old maids, selling Florida swamp land at inflated values. They renamed Fat Thomas out of a million dollars, and now poor old Fat married Jean Strang, and they say she's worth a million."
Mrs, A. -"By the way, what has become of Ralph Emery?" Dr. A. Waldo? Why he's advertising manager for Gertrude Grimes, who is giving lectures ou how* to reduce. You should see her now, she's wonderfully thin, how you must envy her." Mrs. A.- "Listen here, let’s go to Colorado Springs next week, I'd like to visit the old home town,*,'
Dr. A.—“That's a clever idea. I’ll telegraph Russ Hunter to engage a suite of rooms this evening. He's managing the Broadmoor now. Olen Capps is manager of the laundry there, under him are Margaret Wells, Dorothy Duncan, and Grace Yates, Kind of Russ to give them a job, wasn't it? John Brayer and Kenneth Wendell have started up an old maids' home there too. Some of the occupants are Edna Theobald, Virginia Corlett, Marion Benbow, Aileen Atchison, and Kitty Hare.”
Mrs. A.—"Some wonderful things have taken place in Colorado Springs. I hear that Joe Bruce has at last established a street car line running out to the Stratton Home after five o'clock, you know he lives out there now."
Dr. A.—"And Jimmie Jacobs has now a five acre garden tract in the suburbs of Kclker. having been jilted in love by Esther Law. I believe that she would do anything to win Mike Yoes' love. She finally did by persuading her father to give up the undertaking establishment to Mike. He used to do the dirty work, but now he has Glenn Humble and Myron Reubendale doing it, and, Betty, remember that you can’t let Jim Albert, the chauffeur drive fast there because they have speed cops everywhere, the chief of them is Campbell Rice, Emily
Bush now has charge of the fire department, the assistants are Nila Allison and Jessie Spicer.
Mrs. A.—“I understand that Rosalind Siegel and Ruth Cook arc now running the Pikes Peak Auto Highway, they have several chauffeurs working for them whom we know. They are Leia Hoyc, Mildred Lucas, and Leota Guyer; and Lucille Honan and Nora Williams are running the Summit House. They have a cabaret up there now. The four leading dancers are Sadie Kier, Catherine Swan, Ted Cannell, and Edward Brooks.'*
Dr. A. —(Reading paper.) “Prank Mantz is running an aerial mail route from Boston to the Bahamas, he has to stop for supplies at Little Inn, it was named after Ruth Little, but she passed out a while ago, and it's now run by Mary Koch. The chambermaids are Thelma Meyers and Mildred Long. Myron Harmon is the janitor, you know he used to be Marion Huron’s husband but she divorced him to join Howbert’s harem, and from what I hear, she's suing fordivorce now tomarry William Young. She certainly wasaheart crusher.”
Mrs. A.—"My word, before she married Myron, her name was Mrs.Hermau Briscoe, he was champion billiard player. And what do you think has become of our friend, Bob Avery? Well he is a traveling bachelor now." Dr. A.—"Well, he's had his swing at the girls."
Mrs. A.—(Picking up a letter and opening and reading it.) “ 'My dear sister, am on my way to Europe to attend the races. I’m a dealer in fancy horses now. Will stop off to see you a few days. Lovingly, sister Helen.’ Well, we’ll certainly have to have this house papered before we can have any company. Who shall we have?"
Dr. A.—"Why, Jack Dem, you know how he used to lay it on. He’s now trying to support Louise Aitken, his wife, and a family of ten." (Noise of organ outside.)
Mrs. A.—(Going to the window.) “Why, for pity’s sake, Don Dilloway, an organ grinder, look at that cute little monkey he’s got. Oh! Paul, I want it! I want it!! I want it!!! Go out and get it for me, please, Paul!" Dr. A.—"Ugh. I wouldn’t touch that filthy thing.”
Mrs. A.—(Pushing him out of the door.) "Well I would, now go get him." Dr. A. (returning)—“He wouldn’t give me the monkey, but he gave me a lot of news, and I had to give him a Five-Spot."
Mrs. A.—(Low mutter.) "Why you stingy thing!" (Normal voice.) "What did he say?"
Dr. A.—“First he told me that Ellen Erdmann had at last obtained the job of running the High School Cafeteria after having great experience wiping dishes at Alex's Chili Joint. Six of her assistants are people we know, Marie While, Ruth Van Nattan, Elizabeth Murphy, Vesta Miller, Frank Perkins and Arbor Fuller. He also told me that a bunch are Denneyites, you know, apostles of the Denney religion, named after Robert Denney. There are sure a bunch of them, I doubt if I can remember them all. Let's see,—Celia Aider son, Beth Homan, Lucille Burnett, Hattie Bieseker, Vera Roberts, Rose Schlcssman, Nora Hodgkins, Helen Starsmore, Della Wood, Lillie Clements. Lucille Cook, Laura Palmer, and LaVera McNulty, and their servants, Allison Kurth, David Nock, Allen Kinsman, Milton Nelson, Joe Goff, James McMur try, Emerson Hill, Ralph Heller, Raymond Gardner, Curtis Roach, Charles Dailey, Donald Doubt, and John Duniway. And Dilloway also said that George Thatcher had joined the G. & G. Circus as a wild man, dear old George, do you remember how he used to try to be wild?”
14
Mrs. A.—"O, I just remembered, I heard at Al Burton’s Art Studio, his wife, Amy Boone, gave a tea there, that Miriam Tessier has taken Mrs. Rein hardt’s place as French teacher, and Eddy Ryan is president of the college. Frances McQuillan is in Miss Dennis’ place, too. Bennet Chapman has written a little Biography of Mark J. Sweany. Have you read it?"
Dr. A.—"Yes, and I wish I'd known all those things when I had him in Civics, lie always used to bawl me out about going to the movies, I don’t see where he got that stuff.”
Mrs. A.—-‘‘And he used to ramble around about an hour a day about my going to see Marguerite Clark, and I just loathed her. (Pause) I understand that Mildred Bergen is using her influence to change the name of Wigwam to Page. She thinks that Wigwam is to Indian-fled a name for her home town. Elizabeth Crump is the town vamp there, you know. But Marjorie Dunlap runs her a close second. Virginia Garth used to hold the place, but Elizabeth beat her out of it. Isabelle Jenkins is selling Annie Johnston’s new* steam heated, automatic refilling tooth brush to the natives of South Borneo. Her salesmen are Bob Kemp and Carl Fiedler."
Dr. A.—•"Clark Robinson is making pebbles out of bowlders at Sing-Sing for stealing a casket, and his fiance, Mary Moffatt, goes to see him annually. Robert Miller is the Head Turnkey there, and Gordon Mullen is warden, with Lucille Jones as matron. You know, dear, it certainly is wonderful how some of our classmates went to the bad. Gladys Knowles is in San Quentin for involuntary manslaughter. She killed two people while cutting comers in her new aero-racer. They were Gladys Koontz and Ralph Owens, who were eloping. Gladys* mechanic, Mary Linn, w*as badly messed up in the collision. Linton Gardner is a noted scientist, now’, better than Edison was in our day, I guess."
Mrs. A.—"I heard that Lawrence Weir was driven crazy by Helen Ma honey's cruel treatment. His nurse is Mary Margaret Stone. And what do you think, Margaret Vanneman and Christine Miller, and Ruth Mathis have joined the movies, Ruth Mathis is a second Theda Bara, Margaret is another Mary Pickford, and Christine is Norma Talmadge’s understudy. Ruth Nicholson, Helen Matheny, and Surilda Wilson are extras at the Paramount-Sen nett studio. Earl Plyley and Orville Grimes are trying to get in there."
Dr. A.—-“You know that hurry-up call I got yesterday? Well, Dorothy Masters, Zepha Slewart, and Helen Whitecruft were out rowing on the Hudson and capsized; 1 had a hard time saving them. William Rottman was there with his camera for the movies, and didn’t even try to rescue them.
Mrs. A.—"These hurry-up calls arc suspicious. I notice that your head nurse, I.orene McBeath, was there, too."
Dr. A.—"Don’t worry, she’s going to marry Don Crowder. But here is something that will make you jealous, one of my old flames, Bernice Wilson, telegraphed me today that she is coming here with an operetta, and I want you to meet her, she’s a mighty fine woman."
Mrs. A.—(Haughty look and icy stare.) "Aha, there are my grounds for divorce, thank you, Doctor Allison, I’ll sue you tomorrow."
Dr. A.—"Well, never mind, we’ll discuss that tomorrow; if we want to see the Follies we had better hurry up."

The Class Poem of 1920
By Erma Adams.
And now! From o’er the summit of the aged Peak
The sunset's splendor slowly slips away,
And up the misty vales and hills, where thunders oft-times speak, The peaceful shadow's steal at close of day.
And as 1 muse I let my fancy wander free,
And name this rugged peak, "Success in Life,"
While "steps to that success,” 1 let the foothills be,
And misty vales, our passing "joys" and "strife."
And up the many trails that scar the mountain's massive breast. Myriads of struggling travelers do I find;
Some to "Success's" highest heights have almost pressed, While some "The Hills of Preparation" wind.
There! up the rocky slope of dear old C. S. High,
I see four bands of happy toilers pass,
And out to them my fondest hopes and interests fly,
And most of all to my dear Senior Class.
Ah! noble class! the past four years have seemed but as a day, As now we stand in triumph on the crest
Of life’s first great attainment which points out the way That leads unto the "Summit of Success."
How oft we tried our teachers, yet they love us still.
And send us forth the bearers of their hopes,
So with our true old Terror pep let’s climb Life's next great hill. And claim the rich achievements of its slopes.
And let us grow not weary on the trail of passing years, He triumphs who above his struggle towers,
So with our hand secure in God's, let’s mount beyond our fears, And claim life’s sweet reward that's rightly ours.

RUSSELL HUNTER President. Second Semester
History of the Senior Class
A MOCK TRIAL—Held September 4. 1920.
Scene: .1 Justice Court Room.
Judge-. ....... Roscoe C. Hill Prosecuting Attorney . .. . Mark J. SwHany Jury Teachers of C. S. H. S. Defendant Member of the Class of “1917" Clerk of Ike Court ... H. C. Rehm
IFiVwrjjfj- 200 Students of the Class of "1920" Court Stenographer.. . ....... L. D. VoTaw Judge:—Will the clerk of the court please read the charge made by the
class of 1920 against the Defendant, a member of the class of I9P. Clerk:—The defendant is accused of making the statement that the class of 1920 is the poorest class that has graduated or will ever graduate from the Colorado Springs High School.
He is first charged with making the statement that when the 1920 class entered school as Freshmen, they did not take any interest in school affairs. The second statement made by the defendant is that the class of 1920 was never heard of during its Sophomore year.
The third statement made by the defendant is that the class did not do anything worth while, and did not stand out above other classes in scholarship, athletics, and social activities during their Junior and Senior years. 17
Attorney:- Will the defendant please take the stand. You are accused of making slanderous remarks against the class of 1920. Do you plead guilty or not guilty, to this charge.
Defendant:—Not guilty, your honor.
Attorney:—Will the witness Jack Dern take the stand. Did you hear these statements?
Jack:—Yes sir, I did.
Attorney:- When and where was it?
Jack:—One night while I was eating with a gang at the “Rock Pile’* at McRay's Restaurant.
Attorney:- -What were his exact words?
Jack:—That we the class of 1920 as Freshmen did not take interest in school affairs.
Attorney:—Do you believe this statement?
Jack:—NO sir, as soon as we entered High School we elected Bob Avery, one of the most capable and efficient men, as our leader, with the august Mark J. Sweany as our supervisor.
Attorney What did you do the second, semester?
Jack:—In January the class chose as their second scout master Russell Hunter, whose interesting personality won for him the respect of all his class mates. During this period the Freshies showed their interest in school affairs sufficiently to put on a clever party. It was held in what was then the Gym, but now the Cafeteria.
Attorney:—Did you show good school spirit when it came to being humble as Freshmen should be?
Jack:—The Seniors tried to sell us And. seat tickets, but we were too clever to buy any. When a Senior would tell us to go one way to find a certain class room, instead of getting mad we learned to always go the opposite di rection. We also enjoyed athletics.
Attorney:—That’ll do for noir. Vera Roberts take the stand. Did you hear the defendant say that your class was never heard of during your sophomore year? Vera:—1 did, sir.
Attorney:—Tell us a little about it.
Vera:—When the September term opened, the Sophomores elected a man 'who possessed the real stuff, Ralph Emery, with Mr. Hedbloom as supervisor. The second term we elected all new officers, not on account of dissatisfaction but for the cause of democracy.
Attorney:—Who was elected President?
Vera:—Olen Capps was the lucky fellow and there was never a better and more successful election held because he was the right man for the right place. Several social affairs were given in and outside the school such as a War-time Banquet, and hike. However our minds were too much occupied with the war to Lake much interest in frivolous affairs. During the first semester the whole school was trying to see which class could sell the most liberty bonds. A banner was given to the winners. Of course the Sophomore class of 1920 is the proud possessor of that glorious banner which now hangs in the trophy case at our beloved High School.
Attorney:—Did you take any interest in Athletics?
Vera:—Yes we certainly did. C. S. H. S. would not have held the state Championship in basket and football during *18-*19 and *20 if it had not been
IS
for some of the men like Ed. Patterson, John Brayer, and Bob Edgar. These men all played during their Sophomore year.
Attorney:—Is that all you have to say?
Vera:—I believe it is enough, sir.
Attorney:—Excused; George Thatcher take the stand. When and where did you hear the defendant make this statement?
George:- In the High School Cafeteria one noon while he was supping his peanut soup, the echo of which could be heard throughout the whole building. Attorney:— What was the occasion for such a remark?
George:—We were comparing different classes that had graduated. ATTORNEY:--'State the class doings in your Junior year.
George: Just as all of us were getting interested in our school work and were looking forward to our first six weeks cards, the Flu descended upon tis. From Oct. 4, 18, till Jan. 6, '19, we had one long, fearful drv vacation. Just before school stopped we had an election of officers and to everybody’s satisfaction, Ed. Patterson was elected our head man. We had made many plans for parties, etc,, but the epidemic stopped everything. When school opened again we kept the same competent officers. One of the biggest things that was accomplished was the Junior Farce, which was given before two full houses.
Attorney: What was it, and who played in it?
George:- "Mr. Bob" was the name, and Marion Benbow, Elizabeth Ross, Irma Patton. Dorothea Dudley. Edgar How’bert, Ralph Emery and Francis Thomas were the participants. The Junior-Senior scrap came on the same day, and, of course, we got the best of it all around. Just before the end of the year we entertained the Seniors at the best Junior-Senior Reception that was ever given in the High School. It took the form of an entertainment in the Aud. then all went to the Library where the best eats were swallowed to the time of Fritz Funk’s 14 piece Jazz Orchestra. We also took part in the band, and the football and basketball teams were composed mostly of Inniors.
The girls played indoor baseball and tennis and were most victorious in their games.
Attorney:—Do you think you had a successful vear?
George:—Yes sir, considering the amount of time lost.
Attorney:—Very well. Al Burton take the witness stand. Where were you the night of July I, 1920?
Al:—Down at the *‘Y" playing pool.
Attorney:—Was the defendant there?
Al:—Yes sir.
Attorney:—What did he sav?
Au:—That when we were Juniors and Seniors we did not stand out in school work, social affairs, or in general activities.
Attorney>—Give the details of your Senior year.
Ed. Ryan an athletic star and an excellent leader, was raised to Major General of the Senior Battalion. The other officers were Gertrude Grimes, Esther Law, Marion Benbow, Tom Seeley and John Brayer. During the first year we had a big party and the same night the Juniors naturally started a fight.
Attorney:—Who won?
Al: -Why, the Seniors, CERTAINLY! We were all happy to discover the following morning the great big numerals written on the tower which was
19
a sign of our victory. There was also a flag hanging to the hands of the lower clock with the same sign.
Attorney:—What was this sign?
Al.:—"20.” The boys had to pay the damages, but what was that? However, all this interruption just added zest to our grand party. Attorney:- Enough of the party and fight, what happened next? Al:—School was stopped for the second time on account of the Flu. but
after we went back we again elected Russell Hunter as President. Marion Huron, Margaret Wells, Mildred Bergen, Tubby Sheehan, and Tom Seeley were the other officers.
Attorney:—What followed in this term?
At:—One of the first functions was the Senior breakfast held at the High School, after which all the Seniors enjoyed the annual "Pikers’ Day." Toward the end of the term the Juniors again darkened the horizon but failed to eclipse us, Later in the year we were entertained at a reception given by the Juniors, and another reception given by the faculty. Both of these affairs were enjoyed to the uttermost by the Honorable Seniors. We gave an excellent Senior play at tile Burns Theatre. I will not tell you about it though, because you can get all the necessary information in the 1920 Annual Lever. Class Day was another big affair when" the "Prophecy," "Will,” "Poem” and "History” were read by members of the class. The Memorial and Annual Lever were also presented to the school by the Senior President and Editor.
Attorney:—What else happened?
Al:—All the Seniors enjoyed the Baccalaureate Sermon. But the real time of our history was the night when we were all seated on the platform of the Burns Theatre waiting for the speaker to finish so that we might proudly walk across the stage and receive the parchment which was the reward of the work that we had done in High School. It came at last and what a beautiful sight it must have been to see those two hundred students, it certainly was a fitting climax to those four beautiful, interesting years that we spent during our Freshman. Sophomore, Junior and Senior periods at the Colorado Springs High School.
Attorney:—Is that all?
Al:—Yes sir.
Attorney:—Defendant take the stand. Do you or do you not confess to the charge made against you?
Defendant:—1 confess that I said these things.
Attorney:—It is a good thing you did. Don't you see that the reputation of this whole class might be lost if the Denver Post had printed what you most unjustly said? Any older man who made such libelous remarks would be forever shunned. Honorable Judge, you have heard this convincing evidence and the confession of the Defendant. Please, Oh Judge, make this sentence the longest and hardest one that you can, so that this man will never do such a thing again.
Judge:—Bailiff, as soon as the court adjourns take care of the prisoner. In order to fulfill my duty, I feel that I must pronounce an extremely heavy sentence upon you, defendant. As a penalty for your crime you must eat your meals for the next six months at the High School Cafeteria.
Defendant:—For the love of Mike, Judge, HAVE MERCY. Judge:—NO, NEVER. The court is adjourned.
Mildred Bergen.

The Will of the Class of 1920
The lawyer dashed up the stairs of C. S- H. S. fearing his client, 1920, would pass out before making his will. A yellow dog was howling in the distance as the clock in the pigeon-haunted tower struck the doleful hour of ’21 and the faculty with tears in their eyes knew his last sad hour was drawing near. The lawyer pushed the friends aside with a haughty air, realizing what it meant to the world to record the dying wishes of the man. Taking out his pad he bent over the quivering lips of the well-beloved sage and caught these last hesitating words, "1 leave to 1921 the right of decorating the high school tower if their brain is capable of coping with the trouble of getting up there. 1 also leave them the joys and thrills of the barber's trade and they may pursue my footsteps in establishing a stage line to all remote points such as Canon City, Black Forest, and the Bluffs. One of their more ingenious members may start small stores at these destinations where such luxuries as shoe strings and wigs will be sold with great profit at certain times of year. One of their greatest privileges will be that of managing the Lever, which, though of course won’t compare with the copies put out this year, may with much practice become at least readable. My dying request is that they see that something as clever us the list of popular and good looking students will be introduced. I suggest a complete record of the exchanges of all pins be posted in the main hall and kept up to date. Then, too, I give them the pleasure of inspiring their pugilistic representatives in the auditorium.
"To the class of *22 I leave my hearty support in any attempts which they may make to follow my noble example in defeating ’21. To them I leave my sincere hope that they find a second Mary Pickford in their midst to aid them in their first dramatics. It is my wish that they star said actress in "Ten Nights in a Bar Room" or "Uncle Tom’s Cabin." Either would put the audience in ecstasy. To them I leave the wish that they will always see that there is a jolly crowd in the halls discussing the last word in scandal and gossip. It is always the best plan to slay around the building as long as jwssiblc and talk to the janitors, for they are usually informed on all interesting subjects.
"I give to my fellow workers of ’23 the privilege of assuming a supercilious, disdainful air for the benefit of next year’s freshmen. Above nil 1 give to those of their group who are good looking, enthusiastic, clever and accomplished, the right of becoming members of some society of this institution.
"To the little inquisitive strangers who will enter this large family soon after my departure, I leave the explicit right of finding fault with their more experienced elders. I give them the privilege of criticizing the delicious banquets served daily in the cafeteria, and also the duty of helping their comrades rebuild this royal mansion of mine, provided that the citizens of Colorado Springs become more generous before this old shell of knowledge eaves in."
The pale figure gasped, "This is very important. I give to everyone in this school the necessary task of seeing that there is always a Ryan on the team.
"Lastly, I bequeath to the faculty the sad service of mourning my death and singing my praises to those who follow me. Tell them that I gave my life that others might gain knowledge."
As the voice of the old man failed, the mourners tried to speak but words failed them and they turned away overcome by grief at seeing so noble a soul leave their midst. 1920 sank back and with a sigh which indicated he was tired of this life, passed on to a brighter, better world.

HARRY WELLS
President, Second Semester
Friends, Teachers and Scholars, lend us your ears!
We have come to praise this class, not to bury it.
The evil a class does, lives after it,
The good is oft' interred with its bones.
So let it be with this class.
When Freshmen, we did have as President Dana Burch, Whose guidance did the greenest "Frcshics" praise;
When the "Freshies” cried, hikes and parties were furnished. Pastimes should not l>e made of sterner stuff;
Yet the "Freshies” had another President;
And Dan Warner was an honorable man.
You all did see that in that office he was placed.
But here we arc to speak as Sophomores.
You all did love us once, not without cause.
What President did we have to pilot us?
O judgment! Thou forgetest not Lloyd Nichols’
He would have done more, but for a reason. Think with us. Our minds are in the past with Influenza,
And we must pause till we are Juniors.
Have patience, gentle friends, we now are Juniors.
You are not wood, you are not stones, but men;
Hearing the story of our class.
Il docs inflame you. it does make you mad that you are not one of us! Will you be patient, we will tell you of our presidents.
Harry Frawley—-you know he is an honorable man.
Whose "pep" has overflowed as gushing streams; we do fear it. You do compel us to tell of our Junior party?
If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.
You know this story. So I shall not relate it.
Stay, fellow students! Peace there! Hear about the noble Harry Wells: He is our leader now. And Oh! Noble Seniors! You will be happy now! We are no orators as you are; but this you know full well: That we shall give you a reception,
Which will make your big heads swell!

WREN WHITLOW
Sophomore History
In the fall of 1918 about four hundred exuberant Freshmen were turned loose in the halls of C. S. H. S. At that time the faculty recognized that such “set the world afire" spirit had never 1>cen shown before. This same "pay dirt" is still showing in such quantities that even the Seniors are obliged to recognize the superiority of the class of *22.
The first step in the conquering march to the state of Diploma was the election of Frank Strachan to the office of President. A brilliant social event was planned to crown the academic triumphs of this year. Instead, the event was crowned by the flu ban. this incident was regrettable but unavoidable.
As recovering from epidemics is one of the best things we do, so it came to pass that Father Time hadn't conveyed a great amount of sand to the old hour glass before we were organized once more.
As chief executive for this lap, the class had chosen Wren Whitlow. Wren has wisely administered the affairs of the class, which in return has stood solidly behind him.
Many demands have been made by the school this year on the exchequer of the class, individually and as a whole. The class has "seen er duty and done it noble."
G. E. M.
NICHOLAS KING
History of the Freshman Class
We are the biggest and peppiest Freshmen class that has ever entered the C. S. H.S.!
Our basketball team played more wonderfully in the games than any "Freshie" team ever played before! You all know our little fellow, don't you? Our work in studies had unusual high standing in the school! Rather late in the year we organized our class with Nicholas King as our president and Forest Phelps as our secretary. And:—
We are going to unite our spirit and work, work, work on!
We are going to have our class well organized and the strongest ’’Freshie” the High School ever had! And always the strongest!
We are young, but we never consider ourselves too young!’ Remember the entering of the class of 1923 means another sparkling light in the history of C. S. H. S. Watch her step if you don’t agree. (Altogether a little bit too much?)

ALUMNI
Alumni History
The alumni of this school have made enviable records, not only in the colleges and universities which they have attended, but also in the sendee of the United States and in the business and professional world.
There are innumerable Phi Beta Kappas, musicians, teachers, physicians, and lawyers, while we boast of several cartoonists, bankers, merchants, farmers, real estate dealers, civil and mining engineers, etc., ad infinitum. Some of the most prominent business men and women in the state and the whole country are graduates of C. S. H. S. A few of these important graduates are listed here:
Among the leading physicians are Beverly Tucker, Horace S. Cooper of Denver, Omer Gillett, our city physician, who served in the medical corps; Max Reinking, now an Iowa dentist; Carl Plumb of Grand Junction, and Paul Lennox.
Former alumni who are aiding as the better halves in this profession are: Nellie Chelcy, as Mrs. Bortree, and Grace Campbell as Mrs. Moses.

Until ’89 the course was only three years in length and the pupils went to school only in the morning, because the eighth grade met in the afternoon. Free text books were introduced in '92. and brown and white were chosen as class colors that year.
The old frame building was burned in '89 and in '93 the new “And." was opened by a glee club concert that netted $225.
Charles Theobold won the first Declamation contest in '94, and in '96 we placed the banner of our first Interscholastic Field Meet in the trophy case. Mrs. Shoup, our illustrious governor's wife, at one time attended this school. We mourn the loss of two of our late alumni, Ruth Smith and Donald Hodgkinson, both popular students here.
This school has played its part in War Work as in everything else, for two hundred and eighty-eight boys served under our country’s flag. There were also five Y. M. C. A. and V. W. C. A. secretaries, and five Red Cross nurses.
And "In Flanders’ Fields the poppies grow between Nine crosses row on row."
Alpha
In the busiest whirl of this monotonous world Let the Alpha Girls’ year’s activities be purled. In many things they met together,
At meetings they were there—in rain or shiny weather. On Guest Day with their hair done up in Japanese Twisters They loyally entertained their social sisters.
On Mothers’ Day they staged a play,
Called, "Not a Man in the House"—say,
Everyone said it was some day!
Their ledgers read that they had a spread,
As 1 recollect, it was not "dead."
A "V'" party came into action too.
And taught the new members how* to stick like "glue." And the Seniors with a program blest
Felt happier as they left.
’Twas all a success, for all did their best.
So now let Alpha rest, till time knocks on her door For another year to explore.

Omega Literary Society
This year, 1919-20, has been one of the
most successful of Omega’s seventeen years
of existence. Many things have been acomplished, both in co-operating with the
student body and in our own social life.
The first of our social activities was The
Omega Vaudeville which was indeed clever,
and much enjoyed by our guests. Many
interesting programs have also been given at
our regular meetings twice a month. How
ever, the biggest affair of the season was the
Omega Open House. Il may be said that
this was the first affair of its kind ever given
by u girls' society in C- S. IL S. and was a
great success.
A very original entertainment was given in the Auditorium, after which a banquet was spread in the Library, which had been turned into a Japanese Tea Garden, and where The Omega Original Jazz Orchestra held sway. The members of Alpha, Sigma and Zeta were our guests.
Other big events in our social calendar were bur Mother s Day and out Annual Spread;
This has been a big year for Omega and we are looking forward to a still more successful one next year. Irma Patton,

Sigma Kappa
Here we arc again in the pages of the Lever Annual. Since you last saw us here, we have been doing many things. Early in the year we gave u fancy dress spread for our new members, after which we enjoyed a jolly impromptu program. Just before Christmas our Mother’s Day was held, at which we served tea and gave a Christmas entertainment. The second term our new members were taken in at a St. Patrick’s Day spread, which was a very pretty event. In April we held our annual Guest Day, which was most successful.
Sigma has been active in all High School affairs this year. We have supported football and basketball, reserving a special block of scats at the latter game. Our members have taken part in various games and contests, one of our girls being a prize-winner in the Red Cross Poster Contest.
We have done things outside of High School, too. We played Santa Claus to family who were not going to have any Christmas, each girl having a share in providing a substantial gift of food and fuel. For the children of the family we decorated a tree and sent a present for each child. We still support our little French war orphan, and sometimes have letters from him.
Last fall we elected Miss Smith to succeed Miss Dorsey as our faculty supervisor. We are very sorry to lose Miss Dorsey and want to tell her how much we appreciate all she has done for us. Miss Sharkey has been our other supervisor this year. Our officers have been:

Zeta History
(Organize:} 1903)
With the able assistance of Miss Turnbull and Miss Mabel Bateman, 1919- 1920 has been Zeta's biggest year. Its social calendar has been crowded with many good times such as our Hallowe'en party at Margaret Wells* home, our customary spreads, the hike for our waiting list, and the annual baseball game with Signut. In honor of the other three societies we gave a Minstrel Show, the only one which has ever been presented in C. S. II S. This clever affair was a great success as the music and dancing, as well as the costumes and scenery, were carefully planned, letter in the year, following our lead, the other societies entertained us at their guest days.
One of the records of which Zeta is proud is that of having sold the most season basketball tickets of any society in the school, showing that we gave our usual hearty support to athletics.
We not only enjoyed our own pleasures but were glad to give happiness to others less fortunate. We brought cheer to one family at Christmas lime and sent money to the Tubercular Hospital in France.

Alethian Literary Society
Early in October, nineteen hundred and nineteen, several petitions were seen going among the boys of the school. These petitions were for the purpose of advising the principal that the boys of the school desired to establish a new Boy’s Literary Society. The movement was started by Marshall Nunn, ably seconded and assisted by Alison Kurth. Their combined efforts were crowned with success when, after a few aud. meetings, the Alethian Literary Society adopted its constitution and elected officers for the first term as follows: Mar shall Nunn, President: Alison Kurth, Vice-President: Tcnny Gray, Secretary; Myron Harman, Treasurer; John Duniway, Lever Correspondent; Richard Roby. Sergeant-at-Arms.
These same officers, with two exceptions, were re-elected for the second semester. The two new members of our official body are: Harold Hall, Vice President; and Lowell Clark, Sergeant-at-Arms. Our Faculty Supervisors arc: Mr. Lane, Mr. Poor, and Mr. Rehm, and it is to the unfailing support and aid of these men that we owe much of our success in the past year.
We sincerely regret that, because of the difficulties of the first year of our organization, we have been unable to take part in all of the school activities. Next year, however, you will find us one-hundred per cent in everything, just as we were in the support of the basketball team this year.

The Senate Literary Society was organized in the autumn of 1909 by W. C. McCoy. The object of the society was to make the Senators more efficient in debating, oratory, and parliamentary drill.
Under the leadership of its first president, W. C. McCoy, Senate started on a most successful career. Next year, under the guidance of Charles Emery, the society won the first of its six consecutive victories in the debates with the Delphians, suffering its first defeat in 1916. The Blue and White orators lost three of these contests, but won their seventh victory in 1919.
This year, with Senator Olen Capps as executive, the Senate en joyed one of the most successful years in Ils history. The seventh annual Open House was one of the greatest hits of the school year: this being given in the form of a street carnival. Certain obstacles prevented the Senate-Delphian Debate from being held, much to the regret of every Senator. It is hoped that this can be resumed next year. After putting up a stiff fight. Senate was defeated in the indoor game with the Delphians. This successful year was closed with a hike to Bruin Inn and the annual banquet.
The Senate has been represented in every school activity this year. On the football, basketball, track and tennis teams, our society had a very large representation. Senators also held places as editor of The Lever, manager of the Annual, and student manager of basketball, and captain of football.
The Senate has always been composed of the highest type of fellows, "pals through thick and thin," and we hope its future will be as successful as its past. Raymond Gruner.

ship, and have worked together with the greatest possible unity. During the
first semester, under the leadership of Jack Dem, all the Delphians enjoyed the
hike up William's Canon, and the joint hike held with the Senate. During
this semester, the Delphians gave their unstinted support to the bond campaign.
and to athletics. The other officers for the term were Edgar Howbcrt, vice-
president; Donald Crowder, secretary; John Brayer, treasurer; and Kenneth
Wendell, Lever correspondent.
During the second semester, under Ed. Patterson as president, Howbcrt as
vice-president, Crowder as secretary, Tom Seeley as treasurer, and Emerson
Hill as Lever correspondent, the annual Delphian reception to the school was
given. As this space is inappropriate for its praises, and as they are not likely
to appear in any other space, the mind only can bring its memory back.
Suffice it to say here, that the reception was a success. The attention of the
society, after this affair, was turned, toward the annual debate, but much to
the disappointment of both the societies involved, the debate was culled off,
owing to the unwillingness of either society to compromise. As the Delphians
could not get even with the Senate for the last year's defeat in this way, there
was no recourse but to the annual indoor game. The Delphians won out again
over the Senators by the score of 19 to 10. The Senators were scrappy fighters
and game losers, but at the end of the second inning it was evident to every-
body which side was destined to win. The night after the game, the Delphians,
each one accompanied by a friend and an unlimited supply of pep, hiked up to
Bruin Inn for a victory supper. At the end of the year, the annual banquet
was held, arid officers elected for the next year.
Although the debate was cancelled, the society has had many opportunities
to train its members in public speaking, debating, and parliamentary drill.
All three inside the society, and public speaking outside. But the energy of
the members did not lie altogether along these lines. In athletics, also, the
society was perhaps more than adequately represented, by one-half the foot-
ball squad on the gridiron, by the captain, and the two other All-Colorado
basketball players on the gym floor, and also on the cinder track. Three of
the five class presidents have been Delphians this year. Delphians won all
three places on the Declamation Contest, and Delphians have been well placed
in every other school activity.
In closing the school year, the eleventh in the history of Delphian, the
graduate members can only wish the society as much success in the future as
it has had this year.

In September of 1919, the C. S. II. S. Radio Club of pre-war history was
reorganized under the present name and with the purpose of bringing together
amateur wireless enthusiasts to study this subject.
To help us along, the School Board generously appropriated sufficient
money to install a first class transmitting and receiving set. This outfit.has
been in use almost continuously. The 1 K. W. transmitter has, to our knowledge, been heard as far as St Louis, while the two step AudiDn Amplifier receiving set has heard from far greater distances. Such stations as Arlington, Va.,
New Orleans, Mexico City, San Diego and Mare Island, California, are heard
frequently. Denver can be heard at any time, but Porto Rico, some 2800 miles
away,is our record for long distance receiving.
Our association has recently become a member of the American Radio
Relay Ixaguc. And plans are under consideration for affiliating with another
national organization.
The meetings of the association have been unusually interesting. Of
special importance have been two seriesof lectures on various phases of wireless,
one by Mr. Barton Hoag of Colorado College, and the other by Mr. Steele, our
faculty supervisor.
Under the able leadership of Mr. Steele and our officers, we have accomplished much. Next year we hope to do more.
The High Tension Motor Club
Motor
By Ernest Simon.

With the beginning of the manual training classes in the High School, some
few years ago, a club was formed of the members of the auto-forge classes.
The club was named The High Tension Motor Club. At first the club was
small in membership, but it increased with the increasing classes. It has an
average of about twenty-five members, those taking auto-forge being the only
ones eligible to join.
The idea of the club is to bring fellowship in the classes and to learn about
the motor, thus the programs of the club are mostly on automobiles.
dealers have come to the club at different times and given us talks.
Recently the High School was given the use of a Buick motor, of latest
type, by the Rouse-Stephens Motor Co.
The officers for last semester were: Ed. Ryan, president; John Brayer, vice-
president; Harold Hall, secretary; Frank McAfee, treasurer: Albert Burton,
sergeant-at-arms; Mr. Parnham, Faculty supervisor.
The present officers are: Ernest Simon, president: John Burdick, vice-
president and secretary; Ed. Auld, treasurer; Harold Hall. Lever correspondent:
Mr. Hale and Mr. McKenzie, Faculty supervisors.
Colorado Springs High School Orchestra
A new organization that is commanding the attention of the entire school
is the High School orchestra, which was organized under the direction of Fred
G. Fink. Its personnel includes eighteen members.
It has been established to stimulate interest along musical lines, and to
further C. S. H. S. claims as to being the finest school, musically, in the state.
The orchestra has played this year at the annual Junior farce, and it is
expected that it will furnish the music at the commencement exercises. Be-
sides this the orchestra has made several trips out of town, playing at Simla,
Ramah, and other rural towns.
Much of the orchestra’s success has been due to the efforts of its director,
Fred G. Fink.

Although only three years in existence, the band has assumed that depend-
ability and permanence that comes with an old established organization.
The band this year has been a vital factor, both in securing the “pep ”
which has so marked the usual student activities of the past year, and in form-
ulating interest in the High School among the citizens of Colorado Springs by
giving concerts and acting in a musical capacity at many civic affairs. Besides
playing at all games and "pep" meetings, it has rendered concerts before the
Chamber of Commerce. Rotary Club, and similar organizations.
The band owes its remarkable success to the untiring devotion of its
capable director, Fred G. Fink.

ADMIRABLE CRICHTOX
Written by J. M. Barrie.
A play that will be remembered long by those witnessing the performance,
as a real dramatic treat, was given by the Senior class at the Burns theater on
June 2. The play was excellently rendered, bringing out the deeper qualities
of the production as well as those of a lighter nature.. The presentation of the
great play called forth a large amount of enthusiastic applause, and no uncertain
number of compliments were received by the cast which presented the production.
At first the outlook for a successful presentation of the play was not very
encouraging, as sickness prevented several of the leading characters from
taking their parts in the play. This disadvantage was only temporary, however,
as those who took the places of the absent members filled them in an unequaled
manner, which reflects great credit upon their own ability and on the excellent
training they had received.
The plot of the play Centers around an English butler, Admirable Crichton,
and the daughter of his employer. Lady Mary. The sojourn on an island, the
efforts of Crichton to make his wards work, the breakdown of the caste system,
are all parts of a fascinating plot which blends together in one of the finest
productions ever attempted by a Senior class.
The attendance at the play was very heavy, causing the receipts to be
most gratifying and making the play a remarkable success, from a business
standpoint as well as from a dramatic view.
One of the biggest factors in the successful production of the play, and one
whom the cast, the class of 1920, and the entire school wish to thank, is Mr.
Rehm, through whose untiring efforts and earnest work the play was made
the success that it was.

Junior Farce and Pantomime
Edited by Harry Frawley
Miss Sarah Mintz:
As far as dramatic ability is concerned you stood out among the rest of the
performers as a finished artist. You had the most difficult part in the pantomime and the commendable way in which you handled it, brands you as an
actress of no mean ability.
Mr. Lloyd Nichols:
How did DeFries happen to get the leading part? Your work as a villain
was a revelation to the many unexcelled critics who witnessed the production
presented by the Junior class. What are the chances for an interview? A
three column head with several different poses of you would get by “big league.”
Name your price.
Mr. Russell DeFries:
Allow us to congratulate you on your performing in the pantomime. Your
bearing was manly and your entire character was a portrayal of a sincere and
manly hero, such as the kind you were playing. They certainly hung the leading part on the right person.
On Friday, April 16, the Junior class presented to a crowded auditorium,
an original, satisfying farce and in addition to the usual two act farce, a pantomime, the first to be held in C. S. H. S., was given as a curtain raiser. The
character parts were all well played and the comedy situations “carried” far
better than is customary in an amateur production. For variety and originality
perhaps the pantomime bore off the palm; the approval of the audience was
prolonged and appreciative. The ever-patient coaching of Miss Sharkey and
the liberal patronage of the students and outsiders interested in the school, make
the whole affair given by the class of ***21” a huge success both financially and
as a dramatic production.
Several days after the event each member of the cast received some message
from a leading newspaper, congratulating or encouraging them on their dramatic
ability. To reveal to the school the ability’ that is within the folds of the
Junior class some of the letters will be published.
Miss Bernice Ryer:
After our representative witnessed your most phenomenal acting he at
once predicted a great future for you on the stage. The class is in no small way
deeply indebted to you for the success of the event. Why not try the professional side of it? We are confident that you would have overwhelming luck.

Mr. Harry McColl:
Our theatrical experts have made an intense study of all leading men and
in their opinion the coach of your play certainly made no mistake in attaching
it to your name. Believe us, Mr. McColl, you stack up with the best of them.
Your unusual personality and unlimited knowledge of the stage world will be
of great value to you in Inter life. We see the makings of a much desired actor
in you. _______________
Miss Maudie Moffat:
Count De A La Bass, the recognized “king of critics” who is at the head of
our “Artists Department” has the following to say in regard to your part in the
play given by the Junior class, a class which from all appearances is in a class
by itself. "How winsome Miss Moffat was, a typical English woman; she
managed the dialect wonderfully well, and portrayed gracefully and naturally
a very pleasant type.” Consider yourself flattered, Miss Moffat. Count De A
La Bass is an unexcelled authority.
Miss Dorothy Davis:
We find it hard to select any of the cast for special mention, for each mem-
ber acted the part assigned him splendidly. And yet our critics cannot forget
you in the part which seemed to exactly suit you—a character as "cute" and
attractive as you are. You certainly showed yourself to be a credit to your
class and school.
Miss Hila Van Hook:
To listen to you, acting as a sweet, refined English girl of high society—
takes one from this country directly over to the sunny shores of England.
Your acting was so real, so faultless that every one in the audience forgot that
they were witnessing an amateur performance. You simply hypnotized the
entire crowd. You’re a winner.

Mr. Harry Wells:
Marvelous, wonderful, unperceivable and undreamed of at first, you have
established a name for yourself. Your most handsome portrait has appeared
in all the leading newspapers of England as the first American man to imitate
an Englishman in such a manner as to meet with the approval of a man of that
nationality. Our critics were overjoyed with finding a foreigner capable of
this seemingly impossible feat. Accept our most sincere congratulations,
Miss Ruth Pollock:
Although you sat motionless thruout the entire performance, your cool and
collected appearance which stood out so obviously proved to our critic at your
play that you were the most finished performer in the cast. Congratulations;
you played no small part.

Faculty—I
The Weekly Lever staff was organized early last fall and commenced its
duties at once. Every member on the staff realized that they must work hard
to publish a successful paper this year. So, on October I, the first number of
the school publication appeared.
To a certain extent, The Lever may feel that it has been a success this year.
In all told, three special editions of it were put out during the past nine months.
The first one occurred when the Terrors won the football championship, and
the second, when the Brown and White quintet won another Colorado title.
The last was the final issue, containing sixteen pages full of a review of the
school year.
The entire staff deserves praise for this success. Among the editors, there
was the greatest degree of co-operation, and at no time was there any dissension
in this body. That The Lever was a financial success is due to the fact that
Herbert Sanford was the best business manager the High School paper has ever
had. He was ably assisted by Harold Staff (first semester) and George That-
cher, second term. J. Emerson Hill and Francis Thomas were responsible for
the splendid athletic write-ups. Ruth Wilkins as literary’ editor and the society'
editor, Gail Burnett, worked very hard and their work speaks well for them.
Margaret Wells and Katherine Morton may be classed as among the most
faithful of this year’s staff. Sadie Kier and Marjorie Masters, who served the
last semester, were splendid exchange editors. The faculty supervisors thought
always for the betterment of the paper, and the results were noticeable.

When the Terrors opened their gridiron practice last fall, they started one
of the most successful seasons that the school has ever seen; and when that
same eleven walked off the field at the Eaton game, they had brought home
another State title to the Colorado Springs High School. The Brown and
White made a record that is long to be remembered in the history of the school;
defeated all high schools played, made a score four times greater than its
opponents, and received the championship of Colorado as it justly deserved.
The prospects for a successful football team last autumn were unusually
bright. Ten letter-men from winning teams in the past were back in school.
They were; Captain Bruce, Brayer, Avery. Burton, Thomas, Tait, Patterson,
Cox, Voes and Rice. When Coach Cushman issued his first call, about sixty
huskies were ready to don the moleskins. With such material, an excellent
first team was welded into shape, with the aid of the scrappy Bearcats. The
team was soon ready to play its first contest. This was against Trinidad.
TRINIDAD GAME.
On Friday morning, October 4, the Terrors left for Trinidad for the opening
game of the season. Tire trouble was a frequent occurrence on the trip and the
team had to go into the game without any rest. The game ended with the
Terrors leading in a 27-0 contest, Burton, Bruce, Tait and Patterson crossing
the goal line.
The next game was scheduled with West Denver. This was to be one
of the hardest games, so much work was spent in preparing for it.
WEST DENVER GAME.
This game opened with a terrific offensive by Denver. Thr capital city

THE GREELEY FARCE.
The Greeley game was also played at home. By a blocked kick, the
“Spud Diggers" started the scoring. In the last half, by the brilliant offensive
work of Bruce and Patterson, the Greeley defense broke, and the game ended
with the Terrors having 54 points to Greeley’s 7. “Fritz" English, next year's
captain, played his first down in this game.
CANON CITY LOSES.
The contest was a walk-away for the Brown and White. Burton started
the scoring, and before it was over Pike and Pat brought the score up to 39,
while Canon had a coveted zero. At least a hundred rooters followed the team
to the fruit-growing region.

The first half ended scoreless, but Pike, at the beginning of the second half,
crossed the goal line. Another score was secured just as the game ended, 13-0
in favor of C. S. H. S. This victory put Coach Cushman's eleven in line for
the state title, with only Eaton standing in the way.
SACRED HEART COLLEGE WINS.
The following Saturday the Brown and White went to Denver to clash
with Sacred Heart. The game was hard-fought, but the college was victorious
in the 7-0 fray. This did not count in the high school championship fight, as
.the Jesuits were a college team.
No game was held Thanksgiving, the inclement weather preventing the
Terrors from going to Fort Collins.

which resulted in a no-score game and one was lost. Coach Hall did wonderful

Credit for this great season of 1919 cannot be given to any one individual,

For the fourth consecutive time in as many years, the Terrors won the
state basketball championship and also by winning the Boulder tournament
for the third time, obtained the permanent possession of the J. A. McKenna
trophy cup. These were the results achieved by the champion Brown and
White quintet.
The season opened with only two of last year's men back, Capt. Patterson
and Ed. Ryan. Practically a whole new team was developed, and great credit
must go to coach Cushman for the wonderful team. The competition for a
berth on the first team was keen, and not until the season was well under way
did the Terrors display the brand of basketball which they were capable of.
With the guard positions taken care of by Patterson and Ryan, center and
both forward positions were yet to be filled. After a bard fight, Yoes made
center and Fisher and Glen Ryan were selected as forwards. Kemp, Flaherty
and English also took part in a number of games and each reflected credit on
himself at all times.
TRINIDAD OPENING VICTORY.
On January 24, the Terrors took the floor against the Trinidad five. The
usual Terror flash was absent in the first half and Trinidad lead in the scoring
in that period. The last part of the game showed what the new team could
do, rind the local boys won by a 36-20 score.
GREELEY WALLOPED.
The following Saturday our boys journeyed to Greeley, This contest
showed the Terrors improving and they doubled the score on their opponents.
The features of this fray were the scoring of Patterson and Kemp, and the defensive work of the Ryan brothers. The final count was 39-20.
TERRORS VS. CANON CITY.
The third game was also staged on a foreign floor. This was rough
affair, reminding one of football at times. When the fight ended, our boys
were leading in the 37-23 game. The Canon forwards were held to only nine
baskets, so splendid was our defensive work.
CENTENNIAL LOSES.
On February 11, the Brown and White clashed with their old opponents,
the Centennials, in the Smoky City. The game was fast and fierce, but the
scoring machine of the Terrors could not be stopped. C. S. II. S. won 32-21,
This game restored athletic relations with the Pueblo school, which was received
with joy in both cities.
REVENGE IS SWEET.
The second home game was with Sacred Heart. After tasting defeat in
football last fall, the Brown and While took revenge by a 32-9 victory over the
Jesuit quintet. This game was fast, the Terrors never once letting up their
furious onslaught. The college team was so badly licked that they Could
register only three field goals. Pat scored 15 of his team's points.
WEST DENVER DEFEATED.
The following Saturday saw West Denver in action against the coming
champions. That team was fast and the score, five minutes before the game
closed, was tied. The Terror captain threw three successive goals and the day
was saved, West losing 27-18.
CENTENNIAL GETS THEIRS. .
The Centennial “Bulldogs" were again due for a thrashing and it came
another week later. That team was determined to win, but their efforts netted
them only 23 points while the home boys registered 51. The Terror team was
at last running true to form. Every man was on the job all the time.

WHEATRIDGE BOWS TO C. S. H. S.
In the last home game of the season for the Colorado title, the Terrors
were slated to face Wheatridge. This school was the undisputed champion of
Northern Colorado. The game was a good fight and the crowd was full of
enthusiasm. The local scoring machine, led by Patterson, piled up 29 scores
to Wheatridge's 20. This victory gave our boys the popular championship of
Colorado and the undisputed right to meet Lincoln.
THE INTERSTATE SERIES.
The Lincoln team, Nebraska high school champions, arrived here on
March 18, to play the Terrors for the championship of Colorado and Nebraska.
The first game on the 18th was full of all sorts of thrills. The battle was
fast from start to finish. But the Lincoln boys were larger and more polished
than our team. After fighting every second of the play, the Terrors lost the
first game to the invaders by a 25-35 score.
The second game told the same story. The boys fought harder, but the
better team won. Lincoln was victorious in the 31-19 struggle. Every man
on the Brown and White five did his best to win; and the players, as well as the
student body, were great in defeat. But in this tournament one man stood out
head and shoulders above either the Colorado or Nebraska boys. This was the
C. S. H. S. captain. Credit for arranging this series goes to C. C.

Glenwood Springs was the next team in the Boulder tournament to be
crushed by the coming champions, score 46-5. The championship game was
with Wheatridge. The fight was fierce, but Pat’s accurate shots saved the day,
C. S. H. S. winning 18-14.
The Boulder Preps lost to the champions 15-8 and Canon City 38-20. This
ended the struggle. Colorado Springs was again state champion. The captain
of her team was high score man and individual star of the tournament. Three
Terror men were placed on the all-state five. They were: the flashy forward,
"Chub” Ryan; the splendid guard. Ed. Ryan, and Captain Patterson.
When one reviews this successful year, praise must be given the whole
team. Fisher, Yoes, Flaherty, Kemp and English did their best, as did the
Terrors on the all-Colorado quintet.
The prospects for a good team next year are exceptionally bright. Practically the whole second team will be back and, under the leadership of Captain-
elect "Chub” Ryan, all-state man, the Terrors should have no trouble in winning
another state title. The men who will be back next year are: Capt.-elect G.

THE FIRST DAY.
April 1, or the opening day of the tournament, saw the Terrors win their
first two victories. Greeley was humbled 39-16, with Patterson of the local
school leading in the scoring. The evening game was with La Jara. This
team was touted to be a dark horse but she lost 28-13 to the Brown and White.
SECOND DAY.
The next day Colorado Springs and Trinidad clashed. The Southern city
was eager for revenge but she was smothered 43-25. The last game of the day
was a farce with Holyoke. That team was mangled in the 45-16 game that
followed.

Last year the relay team won
this was the only event which was held.
Track started with the interclass meet, held May 6. The Seniors won the
meet with 69 points, the Juniors second with 39 points. Sophomores third with
16 points, Freshmen I point. The interclass meet served as a tryout for the
track team, and the meet was fast and some good records made. William
Fitzhugh, a Junior, was high point man of the meet, with a total of 1634 points.
Only two letter-men were back and practically a new team was to be
developed.
Albert Burton, who ran the 440-yard dash in the relay meet last year, was
elected Captain of this year's track team.
Capt. Burton just recovered from the mumps at the time of the triangular
meet and was not in condition to run. Nevertheless, he ran and did his best.
He will undoubtedly place in the Interstate meet to be held in Boulder.
This year’s track team was composed of the following men: Capt. Burton,
Brayer, Boyer, Ryan, Patterson, Kemp, Fitzhugh, Kinsman, Jamieson, Nichols,
Doubt, Young, Allen, English and Ruebendale. All of these men made their
letter in the triangular meet with East Denver and Centennial.
Brayer was high point man with 15 points, taking first in the shot, discus,
and javelin. Patterson was second with 13 points, winning the 440 yard, 220
yard, and second in the 200 yard. Briggs and Boyer tied for third place, each
having 11 points, two firsts and a third. Kinsman won the mile, Jamieson the
880, Boyer the broad jump and low hurdles. Kemp won first in the high
jump, Fitzhugh took second and third in the low and high hurdles, respectively.
Young won second in the pole vault and Allen tied for third. Nichols won
second in the shot and third in discus.
The following Saturday the Interstate meet was held at Boulder, the results however were too late to go in the Annual. The high school was expected
to place among the first five schools and undoubtedly gave the opposing teams
a close race for honors.
Track was exceptionally well supported for the first time and some fine
material for next year’s team was developed.

Baseball
As the girls interclass baseball games were not held this year, more than
the usual interest was taken in the annual Zeta-Sigma game which was held
April 28th. The V. W. gymnasium could not accommodate the crowd which
flocked to the doors, as about three hundred rooters attended. The game was
fast and there was a thrill in every inning. Ruth Van Nattan, who pitched
for Sigma in the first part of the game, showed remarkable ability. Zeta sur-
passed on account of its battery.
One of Zeta's advantages over its opponents was that three of its players
had been on former teams while Sigma’s nine had never played together
before. The Sigmas batted first, but their players were fanned out by Margaret
Wells* swift pitching, and the first half of the inning ended with Sigma scoreless.
The Zetas, coming up to the bat, took the lead, ending the first inning with eleven
runs. During the rest of the game they held the heavy end of the score.
In the last inning Sigma rallied and made six runs but it was not enough
to win the game. The score ended 29 to 19.

He thought it was his mission.
He kissed her once, he kissed her twice;
And said, Now that's addition.
Then three followed smack by smack,
In silent satisfaction.
AH timidly she gave one back,
And said, Now that’s subtraction.
Then he kissed her and she kissed him,
Without an exclamation;
Then they both kissed and gayly said
Now that’s multiplication.

And rendered a decision.
He kicked poor him three blocks away,
And said, That’s long division.

such a wonderful thing! Mark is a Senate
supervisor! I think it was so clever of the
boys to choose one so young and hand-
some! He can sympathize with their
plans so well and the Senate is always so
original. After a teacher is thirty-five or
so he forgets there is such a thing as a good
time. I know Mark is going to ask me to
go on the Senate hike with him. I turned
down Tubby Sheehan for that hike. I am
