History of the Class of '22 In the autumn of 1913, a very small girl, who might have been recog nized 11s Tubby if you looked at the hair hard enough, and a still smaller boy in the peculiar costume of 1913, who later developed to be 'l'ed, entered the old s·chool building in the fourth and third grades respectively. Next year Ted jumped the fourth grade and got into l<'lossie 's class, for another term at the old building. The sixth grade saw us up in the rooms that are now over the telephone office. '\'le managed to get through that grade fairly succt'ssfully, then moved up to Miss King's room in the big building for tht. seventh grade. Here we were joined by Fat in a checkered suit, and Ham in dark glasses. Fat was quite thin at the time of entra11ce, but has since developed into rather a robust fellow, until the army took off several ounces last summer. When Ham made his appearance he was politeness itself, but he has lost a little of it somewhere during the passage of several yea.rs. It was in the good old Seventh where we began our reputation as "the worst cla�s in school." I believe a word of explanation is needed here. '\Ve were not bad-we have always held as our ideal, being studious, but at the same time having a good time in a civilized fashion. v,,re were so en thusiastic in our school work that the teachers instantly tacked that name onto our backs. For instance: VITJien a teacher would assign a written composit.ion, we would in our childish way, "crab," but deep down inside of us, our emotions would begin to work, and want to go out to our beloved teacher. Of course, the thoughtless routine master would think that we were not fully a.ppreciating our work. The next day some of the best com positions yet seen in this school would come forth, and the pedagogue, not desiring to retrocede from her position of calling us the very contemptible name of the "worst class in school," would let it pass, only to repeat it the ne:irt time we eagerly "crabbed" at our joy over a twenty problem assign ment. It seemed to be our lot to kr.ep moving, so next year we were placed in Coop No. 5, with Miss Crook as one of our teachers. We were then termed members of the Junior High School, passed to classes nnder different teachers, and were allowed to attend High School dances. Ruth Hurst, fresh from the farm, made lier appearance dnring the aforenamed term. Ruth was a quer.r person when we first knew her-she hated to study, beca.use she said, "Vic never had to study in the rural school where I came from." It was in this grade where we era ved to answer our devoted teach er's questions-we were running over with knowled'ge, and the desire to show it. It was also in this famous year that the boys learned to knit. Feature Fat, Ham or Ted even holding a knitting needle. now! In the fall of 1918, the manual training room was finished and turned into an assembly room. Miek, Martha and Pete were then made additional members of the "worst class in High School." Fat and Ham donned their first long trousers in 1918, much to their mothers' horror and dismay. and very much against their threats, desires and heart-throbbing entreaties, and received the customary ''ding-bumping.'' In Miss Noble's general science class our name as t.he "worst class in High Srhool" was firmly established. It wa1. in that year that Miss King and Miss Barker began to hope we would

One day in June, I was lying on the lawn, dreaming about the days in Clarkdale High and the dear old class of '22, when I was startled by the leaping and barking of Prince at the gate. Upon jumping up I was greeted by the postman, who handed me an extremely thick, bulky letter. Could it be possible that this day dreaming was mental telepathy 1 True to thought the contents proved to my great excitement to be the Senior "Round Robin." After heaping the letters in my lap, I closed my eyes, and quickly pulled one from the pile. An Announcement! :Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Wingfiekl Announce the Marriage of Their Daughter Margaret, Etc.

True to our Âˇexpectations, :Maggie had married before the summer months of '26 expired. A short note attached to this contained an urgent invltatfon to the class to visit the farm, help milk the cows, and prune potat9 trees. Her note spoke fluently of "Pete." Maggie's ever faithful twin. who, not able to bear this ::;hock, had induced the ''Ape,'' a noted

mctallm·gist a11d former Southwestern athletic champion, to tie the fatal knot. Poo1· ''Ape" had bcl'll forced to give up bis learned metal study and become proficient in the sale of cigars, cigarettes and chewing gum. How could Round Robin keep from bursting its holdings 1 Martha's letter boasted of four college degrees: M. D. , A. B., B. S., and D. D., and she declared she was keeping extremely busy, lecturing to the wiles of the young maidens of Vassar. As I picked up· a11other of the letters a large newspaper clipping fell to the ground. J hurriedly reached for it-did my eyes deceive me1 The headline blazed out the title, "Rich Copper Magnate Killed!" and at the top of the article was a picture of "Smiling Nurse Mattie," whom, the paper s-tated, had mistaken a bottle containing HCL for B.20, and given it to her serenely blissful patient to the tune of "Doggone That Moon." After learn ing of this tragedy, I hardly had heart enough to read further, but my curiosity soon overwhelmed my emotions, and I was coJJ,pelled to dive into the pile and emerge with another outburst. Impossible! A business heading in our midst, which read: Vamp Garage Line Ford and Empty Can Agencies Experienced Vamp Mechanics Hopkins .and McKay

The letter was written by Ham, with his favorite purple ink, and many flouris·hes. A "P. S." added by Sid explained the title, that Ham vamped the ladies while he "razzberried" balki11g engines. Ruth Hurst's letter, no exception to her brevity, was a mixture of kin dergarten classes and the beauties of Oak Creek. Ted's scrawl was the next to catch my <>ye, and I was immediately transferred into an atmosplwre of jazz. His letter fairly reeked with the latest dance hits, and the nnrivaled accomplishments of the "SAX." He, of course, was the first to reveal the latest seandal. Catherine had eloped with Dick, hefore the very un,rnspecting eyes of her parents, and was now having leisure to repent, in 'Winslow. while urgent requests were coming daily for her immPrliate return. Ted encled his letter by explaining that blondes were still the apple of his eye. Another letter remainc<l. Newton had evidently succeeded in scraping up sufficient energy to write, but it was only to emphasize the fact that he had reached the highest degree in bachelorhood. He wrote that he had just dined with Miek and Sack in their new bungalow, and as yet Mick's cookery had found no equal. While still in the spirit and atmosphere of letter writing, I quickly jotted down my latest adventures, and hest of all an invention-which was discovered on my Chautauqua tour through the Fiji Islands-Noiseless Violin Tuning. I couldn't resist laughing as I sealed my letter. and thought what a relief it would have been if 1 had only discovered this at High, when. at orchestra practice, the boys would emit howls of pain during the ordeal. As I again started Round Robin on his arlventurousome travels. I fully realized the value of our letters, which kept thirte<>n, now so widely scat tered, in touch with the liv<>s of each other.

To the com bineel faculty the renwmbrancc of four years' battle against ignoranee, and our fondest hope that they will be adequately" ·r·ewarded beyond the Styx. To the Junior Class we hereby give and bequeath the responsibility and general management of the Iligh School, and our hope that in spite of their mauy shortr-cmings and infet·iority of intellect and physique, that they will continue to build upon the firm foundation built by their predecessors. To the Sophomores we will our unique vocabulary with which to ade (]Uately express our opinion of Classie Myth; also this dribble of ink from off our pen. To the Freshmen we leave our nobility of character, broad experience, excellent example and superior abundance of knowledge accumulated within the walls of C. H. S. Al o to individuals we make these further awards: To Mr. 1\laxwell we affectionately award all the "lovely" decorations and tasty ornamrnts from the parties of our four. years, for him to ch_crish with mothr balls in a cedar chest, forever and ever. To :rv r. McClellan, the eternal freedom from "horseplay," giving him ample leisure to write a treatise on the "Laws of Chance:" By these same laws we trust that he will get it fini heel, before our 1927 reunion. To ·Miss King we leave the surplus avoirdupois of the cla.ss-not, of course, that she need!> it. To Mac we bequeath permanent access to the domestic science room. V-le might make suggestions as to how he might establish permanency-but heaven forbid! To :Miss Cunningham we bequeath the State of Mississippi, to be deliv ered after we have made the necessary arrangement!>' with the present administration-say in a century or two! To Miss James the remnants of the Royal machines wrecked during the process of preparing this Annual. To lVJiss Barker we will a complete set of Harold Bell Wright and Zane Grey's novels, and a long rest in which to enjoy them to the full. To Mr. Hull we will and bequeath an "X-Ray" machine to be installed in the office, of power sufficient to penetrate the walls of the pool hall, thereby enabling him to locate High School "pool sharks" without defiling his person within such an "evil den." To Swanee we present a solid gold collar button for bis perfect attendance during his four years in High School. To our beloved organizations we make the following further bequests:

To the Basketball team, the plan of a sup-proof court to be erected by our donations one year from today, i. e., after we have made ow· fortunes. To the Football team, we will the remnants of sweaters, knee pads and helmets, trusting that they will glory in wearing those cast-off garments· of the departed Seniors. To the Dramatic Club, we lovingly present, Florence's Irish Brngue, l\Iartha's laugh, Te� 's characteristic shamble, Bob's rising inflection, Ches ter's inimitable dignity, and Miss Barker's enthusiasm. To the Glee Club we will the remembrance of our sweet voices; also one perfect high "C" to be used on state occasions. To the School Board we bequeath the bill for the Annuals, knowing that their perusal of the sa.me will_ give them ample compensation for their expenditure. To the future generations of C. H. S., we will and bequeatl1 the "C" on the hill in baek of the smelter. May they always keep it whitewashed in spotless purity, and plant flowers within it to our perpetual glory.

The first class from these classic halls was in June in Seventeen Tho' their colors were of red and white, we've kept their memory green. Blanche Jolly, who's a Lewis now, has recently gained fame, By adding a future suffragette, Mary Louise is her name, Will Kearns is now in DenYer, still unmarrird, we are· told. Frank O'Brien, now a dentist, has left the bachelor fold. His office is in Casper, where he is pledged to stay. Frank Rice as a Junior chemist, adorns the U. of A. '18

'rho' now they're scattered far and wide, as everybody knows, \Ve still recall the class who wore the colors green and rose. Myrtle Pexton now is teaching the young idea to soar; In fact, her fourth grade takes up almost all our lower floor. And speaking now of Myrtle, Paul Allsman comes to mind, Whose letters from Casper take up his time, as far as we can find. :Maywood Spellman Denny is a bride, and with her brand new man, They say she's off to Mexico, to live in Mazatlan. Eileen Bennett is bookkeeping in a firm out in L. A. Donald Finlayson 's in Reno, but wait, what's that you say 1 Horrors no! he's in college. They say he's joined a frat. In fact, he is an A. T. 0.-and that is SURELY THAT. '1 9

And now we come to '19-A class with "pep," we're told. We still retain their pennant of purest white and gold. Ruth Norris is now in Las Vegas, but why, we can't find out. Paul Woerz, a Soph. in U. of A., is at work without a doubt. Ray Maestas now is plugging a.way, at a job in the Mile Hi town; He's saving to go to Columbia, where he hopes to gain renown.

The class of 1920 chose for colors white and blue, They were loyal, full of pluck and vim, and workers thru and thru. They edited an annual, the first from Clarkdale Hi. They 're fo itbful to their p ast, for still, thern 's nothin'g they don't try. As usual, Ernest Garrison is working nights and days. By day he patches autos; at night writes movie plays. Leo Larson is a "rah! rah!" boy, attending U. of U., Next year he'll be at Stanford, if dame rumor's tales are true. J. Willard, Rnth Johnson and Thelma P., are still hirds of like feather, }-,or in Cooley, Arizona, they are teaching all together. Joel Willard, the artist and brains of the class, ·is ranching in Cottonwood, And wc know at this, as at anything else, our Joel will make good! '21

Purple and gold were the colors of the class of '21. They promised they would "do" things: you'd agree they have begun. Helen Shaper, now in Bridgeport, has become a real school marm; · Tho' we 're shocked to learn she's thinking of settling on a farm. Vve have just received announcement of Helen Lefeld 's marriage. We don't know who he is, but we hear he runs a ''garage.'' Iris Cheek is still in Clarkdale, saving her pennies, they say, To join her brother in college, for James' in the U. of A. Dorothy Bennett is in Tucson, training to be a nurse. "Hearse rhymes, but horrors !-we'd better stop'\'\' e're going from bad to worse! . : ....... .,, , :

EDITORIAL A THOROUGI·IBRED

•Ne often wonder .iust what it is that makes a real thoroughbred. We usually think of one who has the purest and best blood that generations of aristocracy can give. 'vVe usually think the man who has every branch of his famous family tree complete or the dog with the lotjgest pedigree to be the thoroughbred. We think of a thoroughbred as a courageous, high-. pirited and elegantly refined being. But the trnth is, that the real thoroughbred often has more red blood 1 tlian blue. For the real ones are those who face life with a s: and · 1ile who overcome the hardships and difficulties with a stiff upper lip and not with a whine. A thoroughbred, whether man or beast, is the one who never lies down in barne. s. but presses against the collar ready to climb all the steep roads. Sometimes he may be tired and stop for a moment to take a breath, but he presses on again. When sorrow comes he meets it as he has met everything else, with a faith and beEef that can not be crushed. It's the hoy or girl who gives the best there is in them, whether in stndy or sport, that shows the evidence of a thoroughbred. It's the man or woman in the business world who does the work best that gets the position. 'l'he ones who play the game fearlessly, honestly and squarely, those who give and take with that wouderful spirit of love a.re thoroughbreds. vVith their inspiration let us all strive to be real "thoroughbreds."

A Few Lines

It was the fourth day of camp. Gordon was just in the a.ct of flopping an egg, Olan mixing cocoa and sugar and I supervising in preparation for the mid-day meal, when a banging and clanging was heard from a distance. All three of us looked up. About a quarter of a mile d0wn the river a Ford truck was coming to a wheezy stop. The heads of four boys were visible above a profusion of boxes and bundles. Gordon's egg fell in the fire and as that meant one less for him, hP. turned round in disgust. and uttered: "\�7J1 y do you suppose that old can is stopping? Why-why look! Tl1ey're campers! Darn it! \Ve want to he here alone. Rats!" Sure enough, fishing tackle, tents, pots, pans, etc., were dumped out on the grass. "Let's row down and sorta watch 'em," suggested Olan. so, entirely forgetful of dinner, we sr.rambled into the boat and rowed away. Nearing their camp we anchored the craft and jumped overboard. vVhilc swimming around we kept a watchful eye on everY: move in the "enemy's" camp. vVe saw them erect tents and set out trot lines, one not ten yards from one of ours. Altho the river was shallow at this point a.pd it seemed a poor fishing hole, I also had my rod and rePl anchored there with the forlorn hope that some unwary fish would swim into this unsuspected hole. For, be it known, in the three days of our camp. nnt a fish had been caught. "\,Veil come on. Let's go and finish dinner," l exclaimed, continuing, "if they run our line we'll wreck 'em." So back to camp we went. "Say, I betrha. they do run our lines," declared Olan. "We'll have to watch 'em tonight." Yes. indeed. in view of the fact that we hnd not cnught any so far, we smely were taking. terrific chanc-es of losing some fish. As the afternoon waned. T der·ided to sPe if, b�· some great act of Prnvirlenre. a fish had disturhed the bait on my pole and line. So I started off along the shore.

No sooner had I reachrd it than I emitted a frightful roar. Gordon and Olan came running. "\Vhat 's the matter?" they cried. "Matter! Just look!" I sputtered. "Those dirty crooks pulled niy line, no one knows how far, across this pasture.'' It seemed only too true. 'fhe line stretched up over the bank and disappeared thru t·he brush. I fairly seethed with rage. .As we began to rewind the cord, stopping often to untangle it from some underlying bush, I declared ; ""When I get this Iiue wrapped up, I'm going down to that camp and wreck the whole outfit!" We had continued thus for a hundred and fifty or more yards, thru briars and brambles, when Gordon, who was ahead, shouted, "Look here!" We came running to find Gordon holding the head of a cow. '.'Well, is that the first time you've ever seen a cow?" I exclaimed in disgust. "Look at the left hind leg," was his reply. I looked, and there was the end of my fish line, the hook caught in the ankle of poor bossy. Olan went into spasms of laughter and Gordon smiled broadly, while I, grinning sheepishly, removed the hook and wound up the rest of the cord. B:owevcr, we still believed the trespassers would run our lines. Therefore, as darkness approached, after a hasty meal, we armed our selves with clubs and boards, and sneaked toward our trot lines, and the enemy's ca.mp. Suddenly we stopped. Not five yards ahead, someone had said "line." We .waited in deepest silence. At last Gordon whispered, "You stay here. I'm going on and see what's happening," and slid off into the darkness. "Hey! Come back here!" I whispered, but he had gone. "Well he can't have all the fun," declared Olan, "lets follow him." This we did. But we had not gone twenty steps when we both stopped suddenly. For th�re on the bank we could faintly discern someone tam pering with our t.rot line. We sneaked up until within an arm's length of the offender, but even then, could not see him distinctly, for it was very dark, and the fellow was partly behind a bush. So Olan took a mighty swing and brought his board dow� on the unsuspecting person's pant.s.. "Ow!" bellowed the victim, and disappeared in the river witb a great

splash.

\Ye stood waiting, half in exultation and half in fr.ar of the outcome. But not long, for up came a sputtering form to the top of the water. It came scrambling up and over the bank. "'vVe n1shcd forward, further vengeance in our hearts, but found ourselves looking into the face of Gordon. It was a very, very mad Gordon. "Did you two fish do that 1" he snarled. "Why, why! Was it you f" whispered the astonished Olan. "Was it!" he answered. and after a pause, "Well of a.11 the boobs in the -world you take the prize. You may not realize it, but that wallop hurt." No doubt it did, for all any of us ever wore during camp was our bathing suits, except Olan, who also wore a ring. I began to laugh, but

the other two stopped me for they feared the members of the other camp would hear. "'vVe'd better hide 'n see if they come t.o find the reason for all the noise," declared Olan, so we all hid behind a large bush and waited. True enough, in several minutes four boys came running up, stopping at their trot line, a scant, eight yards away. "What do you suppose it was all about 1" one queried. "vVhat were they yelling about? D'ya suppose they found a big fish on our line?" a second asked. "Naw. I don't believe they would do anything like that," the fourth declared. ""\\" I hen we were down here a while ago we didn't me anything either," spoke one. "Well maybe not, but--" "Say you fellows," interrupted a voice from the darkness, "you haven't been running our lines 1" It was Gordon. He had walked out into view of the others. Olan and I quickly followed. They all four jumped back as though we were ghosts. At last one· answered in response to Gordon's puzzled query, for we had all convicted them of wTong doing before this. ""\Vhat ! v\Tell, hardly! ·we might ask if you've been running our lines." ''"\Nell I should say not!'' exclaimed Gordon as we all three jumped up in indignation. A pl'ofouncl silence followed. "vVcll ?" they spoke. "Well. er-a, well you-a see," and then, turning to Gordon, I added, "You know, I didn't think these fellows would run our lines." "What!" Olan shouted. A general round of laughter followed. Then another long silence. Everyone hitched around and moved about uncomfortably. "Say. Do you guys like watermelon?" one of them at last spoke. "Do w0! " a. chorus of three answered. "Well there's a hig one down ter onr camp. Come on!" "A SOPH."

Freddie

Freddie is old and broken at a very early age. He is not yet thirty although he looks years older. His head is bowed and his joints are stiff · while· the spring is all gone from his stride. Freddie was born deep in the hills far from schools. Nature was his only teacher and as is often the case, she was not a kind one. But the few simple lessons that he learned, he learned well. Nature seemed to try in some manner to recompense him for his hardships by beautifying his surrotmdings. The hills about hiin were of that deep transparent blue that is typic>al of Arizona, and at once the delight and despair of artists. Every where was evidence of the vastness of nature. The rocks were colored as if some playful cherub had emptird vast quantities· of paint over the ear th. Every imaginlible color was represented with that soft clear blue as a background. The colors were always changing as the lights and shadows shifted. As the sun was sinking, a red rock would change to a soft gol den color and then melt into purple shadows. Everywhere could be seen this wonderful kaleidoscope of nature. But if Freddie enjoyed this, he did not try to express himself in wor ds, although his soft brown eyes were the eyes of a poet. And his quiet. thoaght- ful manner seemed very much in keeping with the vast silence all around

him. But sometimes he would break into what he probably fondly imagined was song. But his voiee was not musical. ln faet those jarring notes were a eolleetion of the most urnuusieal noises that were ever heard in those hills. Other tJia.n his eyes, his features were in harmony with his voice. A loDg face, an enormous month, and large ears, all served to r.reate an impression of anything but beauty. · And then "Lucky Larson came. Lucky was a prospector and a realist. He had come to the mountains, not for the beauty they contained, but for the wealth. And when he saw Freddie he did not notice the poetic eyes, but the rippling muscles that glided along under the skin. Freddie was by this time large and strong enough to cany a load that three common men would stagger undr.r. I know not what inducement Lucky offered, but he was a masterful man and at any rate, when he left tl1e place of Freddie's birth, Freddie went too. Then followed years of hard work. After the day's work was done Freddie would lie down on the gronnd without any covering. Though his strong constitution prevented an immediate effect, this did its part toward bringing on premature old age. Lucky seemed to think that his knowledge of ore bearing rocks entitled him to walk along with nothing but a small prospector's pick, while Freddie carried the bulk of the load. These long steep climbs soon told on Freddie, but he made no complaint. He seemed content to trudge along all day, deep in thought. As the years passed he seemed to grow more thoughtful and grave until ·he acquired a.n appearance of deepest wisdom. v\Then, as was often the case at first, Freddie would give vent to his sentiments in his strident voice, Lucky, who was a quiet loving man, would curse him with a thorou!!'hness thai: is strictly a western accomplishment. But in spite of this, Freddie sermed to hold a deep respect for Lucky. And, though he would never admit it, Lucky held a kind of respect for Freddie. 'l'his is often the case whrn opposites are thrown together. Then Lucky "struck it rich." But the claim was staked out in his name only, so Freddie did not come in for a partner's share. But he never held this against. him. Freddie would never have made a ·valet, so the time came for them to part. As they were parting Lucky slapped him on the back. That was the only touch of sentiment that be bad ever shown for his trustworthy pal. Rut Freddie gave no sign that he knew that they wrre parting forever. Perhaps his heart was too full, for he did not realize what the parting meant. Fo1· a while he roamed about the hills. But lie longed for human companionship, and not . even the liberty of voicing his sentiments to his heart's content, could keep him alone. He came to town. Because he was showing the results of years of exposure to the elements, no one wanted to prospec.t with him. 'l'here was no work for him in town, so he was reduced to prowling a.round at night to see what he could find to eat. . Sometimes small boys gave him something in return for a ride on his back, but the bulk of his meals camr from· garbage cans. as does the food for many others of his kind.

A Freshman's First Essay A dog is a quadruped .animal with four legs, and as many feet as legs . There a.re two kinds of dogs, little ones· and big ones. They are mostly big ones around here, but where we used to live they were all little. Ther e. was a. medical school thern.

Some dogs have short tails with a tassel on the end and some have long ones with a tin can on the end. Some have only stubs. The dog is a very useful animal. It sees that cats don't disturb one's sleep at night-also burros. If a black dog runs across the steps before breakfast it means t.hat there will be a funeral, or death. or something, soon. Once a black dog ran across my uncle's steps and not long afterward his hired girl got sick. She didn't die though, 'cause the dog had a. white spot over his ear, and so broke the spell. We often hear of a man who drinks going to the dogs-to get cured. I guess, though I'm sure there must be other cures as good. About two years ago t1'ere were lots of dogs in Clarkdale. There were almost more dogs than people. Finally some man got tired of hearing them

chase burros at night. so they "athercd them all up and had a community slaughter. 'l'ed and Fat kept Rover and Swanee locked up for three weeks. They were the only survivors-Rover and Swanee---not Ted and Fat. But now there are almost as many dogs as before. vVe often hear of dog days. I don't know why there a.ren 't burro tlays or cat days, but then "every dog must have his day" while cats and burros seem to enjoy nights better, I guess. Bnt, all in all, we could not get along without dogs, though there arc lots of other things we could do without. As the great poet, Henry Clay or Mozart, or someone, said: \¥e can live without horses and live without trots, V>le •an live without boys (tho' we'd miss 'em just lots). V•lc can live without fish, we can live without frogs, But civilized man cannot live without dogs.

'f'he Gridiron battle was at an end, Our team had won the flowers; \Ve had used our "steam" C. H. S. to defend And the victory was ours. Jerome had marched forth to their doom, 'fo us 'twas the day of days, So we'd gathered in our old change room 'l'o discuss our brilliant plays. "Say! D'you 'member the first kick ofďż˝ Just as the first whistle blew Y Hal sent the football soaring aloft; Jerome didn't lmow what to do.'' "One of their back field caught the ball, Bob tackled him by the heels." "An' say, did you see that tall guy fall1" "Bet he'll 'member how it feels.'Âˇ' ''An' they couldn't even make their yards, So had to give us the ball." ""W c had both Ham and Adolph as guards." "And Bill took it through them a.II." "'l'hey got the kick off; then Sid took it 'round 'l'ed and Black helped all they could, But Jerome caught Sid and he went down, LoRt the ball, but our luck was good. "For Haskins recovered the dusty pill." "Then wc all lined up once more; Friday took it over, didn't he. Bill?'' "Did you hear how Jerome swore?"

EDITORIAL 0RGA1'l lZA'fIONS Organization is not a new word in the vocabulary at C. H. S. In fact any new idea created on the campus is generally an immediate thou.,.ht for organization. It has been found that by combining the students under one authorized head, electing officers to supervise, and striving for an ideal. more has been accomplished in developing and encouraging individual ability, and brioging abont a closer school spirit than by any other method. High srhool, through the numerous clubs, has become a much more organized as. oc·iation, if that term may be used. Groups of people have gotten togrther who would ot·henvise enjoy practically no entertainment in school. exc.ept of cour e. their studies. Many friendships have been formed from various students being together on committees. Organizations have a great in flu en ·e over sc·hool spirit. If there were no clubs and organ izations, sc:huol spirit conlcl not be shown as a whole, but each person would have his llll"ll individmtl mode of ex.pressing his loyalty to the school. Th •se c-luhs. howrver, hri11g everyone togethrr, giving them a common aim. 'L'HE FORUM

Un1 . il threr _vear · arro Clarkdale High was merely a "school," whose members had 110 definite rooperation other th. an that due to the school spirit whic:h has always hern prominent at C. B. S. But it was this spirit that promptrd the orcranir.ation of the Forum, in 1919, under the leadership of Miss Barker. The design of this association was to bring the students into closer relationship, to develop the school spirit, and to have a definite organization to r-arry out sthool affairs as well as to give the members experience in parliamentar�• law. The Forum is now a well organized body, holding regular election of offi c ·ers twi c·(> dnring the year. with regular weekly meetings. At the regular mertings thr business session is followed h�, a short program which is plannC'cl by a Program Committee. The object of these entertainments is to accustom the members to perform in pnblic. besides affording pleasurl' to the ot! 1 er members of the Fc,rnm. To date these programs have consisted of musical nnmhers, renclC'rc'd by the C. TI. S. Orchestra. Glee Club, or by individuals, dramat.ir readings and one-act plays. Sometimes, when fortune smiles, the talented people of town are good enough to give us a real musiral treat. All high school parties, excrpt those special ones given by the classes, are under the snpervision of t.he Rntertainment C'ommittee of the Forum. The membership of forty-two has increased this year to seventy-five regular members. besides the farulty, who as honorary memhrrs. have lent their hearty support to this school activity. . . . _ . The Forum is the most demorratic and progressive orgamzation m high school.

The High School Orchestra has developed with the Class of '22 from the stage of harmonious discord to a fair a.ppreciation of tone quality. The Freshman year is, in remembrance, a conglomeration of noise, and grasp for the seemingly unknown "tone." But in the fall of 1918, the eternal struggle was again resumed, and before the appearance of spring, light burst its full radiance upon the orchestra in the form of harmony , which was in great measure due to our most earnest director, Miss Moore. During the Junior and Senior years, orchestra appearances have become as numerous as they had been scarce. Hardly has a Forum program or school performanr.e been presented without the aid of the orchestra. The orchestra members have been rewarded in numerous other ways, by parties, s p reads and private performances, and the Seniors who are leaving the organization hope that the other classmen who will fill their places, will have as much enjoyment and good experience in musiral training as they have bad.

THE DRAMA'l'IC CLUB This year the Dramatic Club, which has been an ambition of the school for several years, became a reality through the earnest efforts of Miss Barker. At the beginning of the second semester the club wa s organized with a membership of over forty, making it the largest society in the high school. The purpose of the club is to encourage amateur dramatics through the study of the art of expression, through experience in play production, and the reading of plays; to bring to light the latent ability of talented students, and to train all its members to acquire the poise necessary to appear in public. Each member of the club has a definite work to perform; those who do not take an ac-ti_v c part in the plays themselves make a study of stage lighting, scene shifitng, scenery building, costume designing and all the details necessary to a well planned performance. Although the club is in its infancy a great deal has been accomplished. Paul Heady deserves special praise for his faithful work in planning and building the scenery, which adds. so much to the attractiveness of our stage. All the stage properties have been made by members of the organization. Our first play, "A Case of Suspension," was a. rnark<'d success and aroused much int!!rest. As this goes to press two other one-act plays. "The Silent System" and "Mrs. Oakley's 'felephon<'." arc nnd<'r rehearsal. and the easts promisr to out.do themselves at th<'ir first public performance in May. Through the simple plays given tl1is year, it is l1oped that the organiza:. tion will lwcomc profir-ient enough to handle hctter and fine r pla.ys in suc ceeding years.

FRESHl\lEN RECET"l'TON The fir t social event of the season "·as the Freshmen reception. On the r,•cning of September 23, a number of little boys in knicker bockers. and girls in short clrcs:rs and c·urls. appeared at the High School Auditorium. They proved to be the "Yerclant'' Freshman, so the rest of the Forum began the initiation. They were tr Pated that evening, in accord a11ce with their station. for IIH'�' '"'Pt the rrst of the guei:;ts entertained for some time by matc-hing l\lothrr (�om;P rhymes, with milk drinking and prune eating ·ontri:;ts, anti sr1·eral other humiliating but highly amusing pastimes. f\ fter the l•'re. hmt > n had recovPrPd from this violent exercise, they werr allowecl to join the rrst of th<• gnests in dancing.

About the u1iddle of the evening he anivecl and dis tributed gifts to each of the pupils and faculty. :Many of the gifts were very appropriate; for example, one member of the faculty received a large ornamental comb for her newly aequin·d ·'bob.'' Pnnd1 was served during the evening. Everyollc enjoyed daiwing brfore and after the distribution of the gifts. OR.CHESTHA PARTY

Along with other forms of amusement a new game was intrnduced-Sardine, in which all learned to act and feel like '· real on<'S." l n keeping with the game was the luncheon which consisted of sardines, hot tamales, ripe olives, �andwiches, cake, coffee, and mint.

SENIOR PICNIC

January 7th, the Seniors donned hiking togs and started off on foot up the canyon, via the railroad track. They hiked most of the day, but after eating the lunch which they carried with them, games were played. The girls were introduced to tl1e mysteries of football, and came out sadder and wis�r (and more dilapidated) than they went in.

JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY

This was the most individual and nnique party of the year. for dancing was banished! The two clas:,es played games and cards, and it has not been decided yet which class harbors the best cheaters. The Freshmen arrived early and tried to break up the pai·ty nntil the upper class boys showed them their proper places, which turned out to be under the cold showers. That cooled their ent.husia�m, and the others were allowed to enjoy the rest of the evening peacefully. SOPHOMORE VALENTTNE PARTY

The Sophomores entertained the Holbrook basketball team and the rest of the school and faculty on February 17th. Myriads of tiny red hearts· suspended from the ceiling gp_V('c a light airy effect to the hall, and the programs were made of large red hearts. About ten o'clock, dainty refresh merits of fruit salad and wafers were served. The dancing· was then con tinued until eleven-thirt.y, the usual holll' of closing. FRESHMEN FUDGE PARTY

The teachers of High and Grade Sr•hool were entertained by the Fresh men at the fudge party in the Domestic Science Laboratory. Though the cooking fudge was a great temptation to most, they succeeded in calmly waiting for it by playing games and dancing. ·when at last the fudge arrived, ample justice was done it, a.nd at the end of the evening, the success of the party was assured by the numher of "absolutely empty"

fudge platters.

ST. PATRICK'S PARTY

On March 11, the Fre11hmen gave their annual St. Patrick's party, plan-

�1ing 0�1 Prcsc�tt 's basketball team as guests. In spite of being disappointed m havmg their guests on account of bad weather, the dance proved one of the most successful of the year. Greenery made the auditorium look like a spot in "Old Ireland." A lively dan�e was kept up all evening. A balloon dance was the unique feature of the evenin,g, everyone joining in an effort to puncture the other"s green balloon with the shamrock pin provided. Green and white ice cream and white cake with green icing were served. BASKETBALL BANQUET To celebrate · the close of the successful season of both boys' and girls' basketball, and to show their appreciation of the teams, the rest of the school and the faculty gave a banquet for them. It was prepared by the Domestic Science girls and their teacher, Miss Cunningham. Mr. Hull acted as toast master. Toasts were giv.en by him, the two coaches, Miss Rayle and :Mr. McBride, and several of the basketball boys and girls. The banquet ended with some good round cheers for team and coaches. JUNIOR-SENIOR PICNIC Sunday, March 26, the Juniors and Seniors enjoyed a real picnic on the Verde. The younger people passed the time by seeing how wet they could get each other without actually fallinl!, in the river while the chap erones and some of the "golf fiends" tried out a natural golf course that they discovered. After a delicious lunch ( and the part of Mr. Hull's angel food cake that Ham had not sat on), they returned home. FR,ESH1VIEN--SOPH0:r.WRE PICNIC Wben the ''youngsters" saw what a good time their older friends had on their picnic, true to their ''following'' nature, they planned one for the next Sunday. A wonderful day of riding, hiking, playing games, and general fun was spent at Oak Creek. DRAMATIC CLUB SPREAD After the first play of the Dramatic Club had been given, April 11, a spread was given for the whole club. v\Then enough sandwiches, pickles, cookies, cake, fruit, and candy to make . most "normal" people sick, had been eaten, a couple of hours were spent in dancing; FUTURE AFFAIRS Elaborate plans for the Senior Hop are now in progress. According to the plans, ii will be an affair, creditable to the Semor class_. Rumors are abroad of a Junior Banquet and Prom that will put all th,� other social affairs of the whole season in the background.

fltblttlC£, This year athletics has br:.cn a most important factor in building up the spirit of Clarkdale High. nut before talkiDg "Athletics," we must perforce talk "Mac" alias 1lr. MeHride, otherwise known as "The Boys' Coach." Mac is one of those meu that have that boyish spfrit of excitement and Jove of sport so mueh needed in a good coar;h, but he also has that gift for getting the team in the habit of training through organization. The boys have always had a good team, and were ready to give their best to the glory ot'" C. I-1. S. 11ut this year they have "a real team."' They are quick in passing and alert to cat.ch the signals, and they have shown splrndid team work. "\Vhen the football season arrived the boys went out with shovels and rakes and laid out a gridiron, the first in the history of Clarltdale High. Most of the boys had never seen a game, but they were quick to learn. They practiced hard and faithfully and built np a good team. During the season they made some fine plays, and the school is proud to know that they came out on top. However, it was through basketball that the boys brought fame to the school. In every game the boys fought hard. They made fast plays, and each man knew just his position, and he was always there. Each onE: did his best, knowing tha.t the school as well as "Mac" was behind them, and playing the ga.me on the side lines. Never before has the basketball team had such a success on the trip as this year. "\Ve are confident that 11 ac will turn out a "sure-hit" of a baseball team, which will be a credit to the school as well as to the coach. 'l'hi� year, for the fit·st time, Girl&' Basketball has been a feature of high school a.thletics. Perhaps because the Suffragettes are gafoing ground on the campus, the authorities have submitted to woman's rights, and the girls have beeu pet·mitted to play basketball. The same fine spirit preva lent among the boys is shown by the girls, due to the sportsmanship of their popular coach, nliss Rayle. l'nclr.r lwr guidance, training, and patience, the girls have practiced faithfully and have made exceJJent progress. '.J'hey have the distinctioD of never having been beaten on their own court. Both teams this year have shown the town that the "copper heads" are no slow bunch ! "MARTHA ROGERS, '22.

The 1922 basketball season claimed numerous viutorics for C. II. S., ending in the defeat of the Jerome team. Om team consisted of all last year's men, and under the careful training of our coach, we were able to show marked opposition to the best of the neighboring teams. After the Christmas vacation we opened the season in a game against Jerome. The smallness of their court made cooperation in our team work impossible and the game was lost to Jerome by four points. Following a couple of weeks' bard practice we were again ready for the annual trip to Flagstaff, Holbrook and Winslow. In the Flagstaff game the first half ended very closely with C. H. S. in the lead. In the second half Friday was put out ou fouls, greatly weak ening our goal shooting. This. with the aid of the high altitude, acconn!"cd for a very lop-sided score at the end of the game. Flagstaff again showed its spirit of hospitality in entertaining ns royally. On arriving in Holbrook we decided to visit the Petrified Forest. Of course we used the "'Hoover" system, hiring one Ford, for only eight of us.

until our curiosity .was satisfied. 'l hat evening after a very slim meal we strolled down to the gym where we displayed to the audience the C. H. S. method of playing basketball. After t4e victory we were entertained by a dandy dance which was, of course, interrupted by Mac, with "Get to bed early, fellows, remember you 're in training." The third game, on the third night was played with Winslow and has been agreed by all the hardest game played, by Billy especially' who was knocked in the head and unable to play in the last half. The battle ended in a victory for Winslow. Although our record was not a complete victory, we_ enjoyed the trip home immensely, eating candy to the limit and playing cards to amuse ourselves, but none of the games were very successful on account of the variety and number of professional cheaters. The one other game played on an outside court was with Prescott. Our teams were quite evenly matched, and it was but a strokďż˝ of luck that Prescott was one .point ahead when the whistle blew. The remaining games of the season were played on our own court and all ended in victories for C. H. S. Fort Whipple was the first to be defeated by a score of twenty to six. 'l'be greatest victory that C. H. S. has ever received was in the return game with Holbrook, the score being fifty-seven to twenty-four. The "\N ioslow boys, confident after their former victory at home, were greatly surprised that they were not able to score above us. Jerome, after being defeated but once in northern Arizona, really thought that they could come down and "romp" on the C. H. S. team, but they were sadly disappointed in receiving a defeat of twenty-two to fourÂ teen to be placed upon tehir wonderful 1922 record. This game ended the basketball season in which we felt that we had done our duty to the school and held a place and record among the northern Arizona basketball "champs."

A Good Hard Practice Time-Any old time after school. Place-The casaba flinge1·s' gridiron. Dramatis Personae-Ape, Runt, Cap, Beelie, l!"'riclay and l\Jac. 'l'he "Thing" itself: (Enter Cap. a sort of lanky guy, with shoulders drooping from school duties and married life.) Cap: Come on, you clubs, and help put this standard up! Shake out of it! (Ape also· enters. He is a typical boy from home. more .·tretched out than the others-also in the matrimonial field-very thin, and with a very substantial line of condensed b--. He always manages to get there too late for any work.) Ape: Aw, burro! Wait till I get my sweater off! (The standard up, they start throwing at the ba.ekboard. "At" the backboard is correct, because our crew don't throw baskets.) . (Runt has a determined mode of carriage, but there is a lack of that sparkle in his eye, because he was "jipped"-let's see-ten months ago.) Runt: Well, where's Friday tonight? • 8ap: Aw, those Sophomores have to be coaxr.d to come out any more. _(Beelie, the big boy of the crew, and a very a_rdent "Frosh chaser.") Beelie: How do yo_u Seniors get that way? Huh? Runt (as Ape dribbles and takes a long shot): For gosh sake, Ape, eut out those long shots! Cap: Two bits, Ape. Ape (as ball scratches): Hot dog! There I made it! Pay me, brother! Runt (forgetting about basket Ape just made): I '11 bet you ten dollars you can't put in one out of ten of those long ones, Ape. Beelie: There comes Friday. (The fifth dub enters.) vVhere you "bean," Friday T (This is Beelie 's way of saying "been." Ask him how he gets tha.t way.) Friday (the hard-boiled boy of the gang, who chews gum and carries burnt matches): Aw, some guy ditched my knee-pads. Beelie (shows scarred knees): You don't need any of them knee-pads. Look at my knees, an' I bean wearin' •em all the time! Cap: Well, come on, you sap, and let's get a little action. Let's go lPft-handed for a while. Beelie: Aw, gee'. Ape (he and Cap are the two left.-hanrlers, so are always craving actiou from the left side) : Now you'rp talkin'! Runt: Hey, Mac, come on over here and coach us for a while! (Mac thinks he's paid to coach the girls, so he's a negative quantity on our portion of the court.) Friday: Look out, Ma<>, here comes l\iliss Rayle! Beelie: You'd better put on a dress, Mae! Runt: Cut out the long shots, Ape! My gosh! You never get one of those in a game ! Ape: Yeah, I know, but T might. so I want to be in practice. When you get so you can put one of those in. you '11 be pretty good! Cap: Let's dribble and shoot a while.

Beclie (a very impatient member of the aggregation at tim·es, waiting while .Ape takes his usnal three shots to our one): Well, any time. you get through, I'll take my turn.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL A greater interest has been ta.ken by the girls in basketball this year than in any preeedi.J.1g year. Their highest aim has been to interest enough girls in training to make girls' basketball a sueeess iu future athletic seasons. The "peppiest" part in the school program is-a dash for the dressing room, a live sprint to the courts, and 45 minutes' tussle with the ball. This enthm;iasm on the part of the girls has made possible a real basket ball season, including fotu· games, with victories won from Jerome and Camp Verde. The last game played with Jerome best displayed the girls' ability in team work an . d basket shooting, as the C. H. S. team made it impossible for Jerome to make any field goals. The girls feel that they owe their splendid training to the aid and advice of their eoaeh, Blanche E. Rayle.

Energy Are you a wornaJJ � And is yo11r home electrically wired� Then yon know the magic of washing, iro11ing, sewing, cooking, cleaning and keeping your house warm or cool or light through electricity. It's no new· stor) to you. You are enthusiastic about it. Enthusiasm nnd energy are running mates-one dies without the other. The energy to feed your enthusiasm is no longer wrung from you. It comes from the big electric light and power plant in your comnrnnit_v-a. flood of it-instantaneous, til·elc ·, fon itless. It is brought to you through an orderly maze of cables, conduits and wires, and is at your service by the sim ple act of putting a plug in a lamp socket or an outlet, and of pressing a button. Anyone can buy this energy. So it is called "public." It serves to make life better, easier, happier, healthier. So it is called a "utility." Therefore, the power plant that drives yom· cleaner, that heats your shining cooking appliances, that lights your home, comes under the head of a "public utility." Such great utilities are privately o-wned by plain citi zens like all of us who have faith in the force called elec tricity. These utilities are, owing to their vital in1port to the country, under governmental direction. Insurance companies have hundreds of millions invested in the different electric-- light and power companies; banks have loaned them money, and 1,450,000 individual Ameri cans have put millions of their savings into this great industry. It is these people of faith, business instinct and entlrn siasm who stand back of you as you clean and cook and wash and iron electrically; ,vho, in a way, guard your lamp at night, seeing that in the light never fails. They deserve your ro-operation in return for that service. 7
