wqr 1\lrqrmi.at Long ago in the days of old An alchemist sought to make precious gold; Although he failed in his worthy deed, We know OUR Alchemist now will succeed.

The Frosh are the base metals, raw and crude. You know they're just children, green and rude; They enter the worksho p covered with moss, Where they hope to be gold and lose the dross.

The chemicals mix anci the process goes on; The things the y've }earned and the deeds they've done Change the humble Frosh with their hidden worth To the Sophomore, with less of earth.

The Juniors aren't gold, but improved, as you know; However, they're precious, exceedingiy so. The process, so far, has worked out quite well. And they may become gold-you never can tell.

The intricate process draws near to an end; The Alchemist has a rare gift to send As his annual tribute for the world to hold, The gift is the ďż˝eniors, who are purest gold.

Long years ago, when Clarkdale was only a few "shacks" thro,.vn to gether, a school was formed. In a couple of years a tow-headed, good looking young man arrived to grace the fourth grade with his presence. Several tags were on his suitcase, the latest Phoenix. Others were from Denver, Colora do, and Evansville, Indiana. This personage was Hal. Time rolled on (as it has a habit of do ing), and in the fifth grade Gladys joined Hal. It was easy to see where she hailed from, as she found it hard to get used to level ground. This plainly labeled her "Jerome." Neither was it hard to find where Chester, \vho joined them in the sixth grade, was from, for he arrived telling the world of Hart, Oklahoma. Miss Billie King first made her appearance this year as a fifth grade teacher. The next year she left us to teach in High School. Such momentous happenings failed, however, to stop the passage of time, so again the years rolled on. Then came a day at the beginning of our last semester ,in the grades when Birdie found her way into the fold. Her quick adapt ibility proved her a native of any place she happened to stop. Her last home had been Fresno, California. "' We entered high s.�hool with a large class and larger hopes, but alas! Columbus was the only new arrival to 1 ') stick. Through four years he h:!s made his way from ,.. V Cottonwood by burro-back, horse-back, and auto-stage, to "absorb a quantity of learning so liberally dispensed at C.H. S." We had at last caught up with Miss King and immediately "nabbed" her for our advisor. Wheth er she considered this an honor or a horrible task we don't kno\v, but she accepted, and now, four years later, she's still "on the job," so she couldn't have minded very much. Our Sophomore was our banner year. Gertrude, Kathryn, Paul and Howard folded their pinions and settled at C. H. s. _____,.....-Gert was fresh from Mount Angel'a Aca demy in Montana; "Dumpy" called Jerome Jµnction home; Farmer thought Clark dale High should be run on the Camp Verde plan, while Paul knew, until he learned better, that the way he had been taught at Tempe Normal was the only real way.

But "for every action there is an equal and op posite re-action." This reaction o�curred in our Junior year. We had no new members, and due to the shut-down o,f the smelter a number of our ,iveliest and oldest members, whcse names are not mentioned here, were forced to leave, much as they thought of dear old '23. Hal has had a far away look in his eyes ever since. His letters, too, have borne a far-away address. But in spite of being the smallest class, and having only four girls, we managed to hold our own in various dis putes with other classes. Who'll eve1 forget the Junior-Senio•r riot, caused by the sudden disap pearance of the Junior pennants? Or the night ----....: Birdie and Gert made their way to the roof of the school house, braving all shadows and creaking floors, only to find the pennant they climbed for was only a fake, made by the Seniors? Or the final capture of the pen_ , .-, nants, and then "burying --=,?.= the hatchet?" The Junior �� . _ banquet was a marked , 2• i. < success, having been pro~� nounced by people outside t�e class as the best in the � r.', '/ history of the school.

brought her saucy air and

innocent eyes from Arlingtcn. In the second 1:emester Helen came to com plete the "dandy dozen." She, too, is from Oklahoma, but she is not "telling the world." In fact it is hard to imagine her telling the world anything that is not absolutely necessary. Our Senior year progressed smooth ly until one morning, just before Christmas va::ation, when we awoke with the alarm of the siren to find the auditorium of our school in flames! Paul proved himself quite a hero, and in spite of the fact that it was not yet nine o'-::lock, Gert was there to rejoice that no Annual material was ruined, except the top of the desk. How many times, \.vhen we were Freshmen, did we wish that the school would bum down! But now, being Seniors, we realized that it wasn't such a joke. For a long time we lived in crowded quarters, roomed two in a desk and made the best of things until at last the auditorium was ready to act as a study hall again. And best of all, we had a "brand new" stage for our commence ment exercises! So now, with only a few days of our high school life left, as we look over the list of'om friends from whom we will soon be parted, we are more than ever thankful for The Alchemist. For in the time to come, when we take up the various duties that await us in life, we will be able, through these pages, to remember more plainly faces and events at our Alma Mater-Clark-CHESTER ALLEN. dale High.

This year several of the progressive graduates of former years resid ing in Clarkdale, de�ided to organize an Alumni Association, and thru thii; medium keep their recollections of the past closely connected with the school activities.

literary CHEERFULNESS The biggest thing in the world is a whole-hearted smile. Now don't think we are throwing a slam at the p�rson who has a big mouth by saying "biggest," for by that we mean the most worth-while thing in life. Have you ever figured out how many great people of the world are lmown for their smiles? Mary Pickford is known the world over for her's, as is Douglas Fairbanks for his broad grin. (A grin and a smile are the same thing anyway-a grin is just an over-ripe smile.) Has anybody never seen Jiggs and his smile? And everybody knows Teddy Roosevelt's grin, with which the cartoonists have had such great sport. When everything seems to be going wrong if you can only make your self have the pluck to smile this will relieve you and you will feel that your troubles aren't as many or heavy as you thought they were, after all. In fact, a smile is just a wee bit of sunshine that lights up our earth as much as Old Sol himself; so don't be stingy with them. You know that if you make a face at a mirror, it ·will make a fa,�e at you; if you smile at it, it will smile back at y,ou. If you wili think for a minute you will see that most people are just like mirrors. They reflect what they see or hear, smile for smile, scowl for scowl, tit for tat. And the world is just one big mirror, too, so how can anybody expect to scowl at it and have a smile reflected back? There used to be a very popular song entitled: "Have a smile for ev eryone you meet and they will have a smile for you." The song is out of date now, but the 'thought expressed is just as popular as ever. Now we all have a smile for YOU when you look at us in this Annual-why not give us one back?

POCKETS "Oh Sue, can you lend me fifty cents?" "Sure thing, if I've got it." Sue began the search. She opened her "Flapper Bag," and rummaged through the contents for a few minutes. It was like hunting a stamp in a library table drawer. Out came the con tents, first one at a time, then in a mad rush. First the invariable compact powder, rouge, lipstick and eyebrow pencil make their debut. A comb tumbled after. A few old dance programs followed. Their cords had caught in the teeth of the comb. A fingernail file and gold pencil ungracefully made their exit-but still no fifty cents! So out flowed calling cards, a fountain pen, a pair of long-lost earrings, somebody's knife, and with them-Oh, Horrors!-a cigarette! "Rah! Here's the four-bits at last!" �heered the conqueror, "and, 0, Peg! Here's my bathing suit packed on the bottom from way last sum mer. I wondered where it was!" And then they say: "What does the American Boy carry in his pockets?" -GERTRUDE MOONEY, '23.

A LEGEND Once upon a time our old Mount Mingus was a handsome Indian brave. Though he was not a member of the chief'� family h� was a gr��t favor ite in the Papagoes tribe. His strong physique and his never-fall_mg cour age made him always in demand for whatever happened to be takmg plac_e. Chief Big-Eyes had two sons, but he loved neither as much as he did Mingus. . . Mingus loved a little Indian maid of a tribe, the Moqu1s, unfriendly to his people. Her name was Gay-Colors. Rather a strange name, but the Indians had given it to her because of her lo-ve of bright colors. This little maid's wearing of gorgeous colors emphasized her rich dark beauty and no one could blame Mingus for loving her with all his heart and for wishing her to be his mate. Mingus knew that Chief Big-Eyes loved him as a son and for a long time did not tell him ·of his love for Gay-Colors. Finally, sin:ce love must be satisfied, Mingus determined to desert his tribe, thus making it possible for him to marry Gay-Colors. The preparations for his escape were made with the greatest caution, for Mingus knew that if he were caught trouble would arise. When all was ready he went to the chief and asked for permission to speak alone with him. "Chief Big-Eyes, Father of the Indians," Mingus said, "I wish to go into the mountains to give offerings fo the Sun-God, Mabab. I shall be gone three suns. Do not fear for me!" However, instead of going to the usual place of worship, a high plateau miles from any Indian camp, Mingus struck out for the camp of the Moquis tribe. On his journey Mingus met a young Indian, handsome, but with a sly, stealthy look in his eyes. This Indian was so inquisitive about Mingus' plans and asked so many questions that Mingus, his nerves strung taut by his desertion of his tribe, struck the Indian with his riding whip. This Indian had learned enough, however, of Mingtts' plans to make him sus picious. So, after separating, Mingus hastened on to Gay-Colors and the other Indian spurred his horse toward the camp of Big-Eyes. "Mingus will regret this act," he muttered as he rode along. The sly Indian rode at such a pa:e that he was soon at his destination. H e immediately ran to tell the chief of Mingus' desertion of his tribe. Big-Eyes was furious! "Mabab, father of the Gods, what have I done to deserve such a pun ishment?" cried Big-Eyes, striding up and down his tepee. Then in a flash an evil idea came into his mind. "Mabab, chief of the Gods I must have i-evenge. Give me the power to command Mother Nature for' one half day. Just that is all I ask." So, as the Sun-God favored this tribe, he gave their chief the power of commanding nature, by means of a cotton-wood branch. Big-Eyes left the camp, and arrived to see Mingus and Gay-Colors mak ing preparations to return to the tribe of the Papagoes. "Son," said the chief, approaching the couple, "Mabab has seen fit to punish you and this maid for deserting your tribe." With this he cleft the air between the man and the girl with the ,2ot tonwood branch. Mingus was instantly turned into a high, stern moun-

tain while Gay-Colors became our beloved Red-Rocks. Not satisfied with this Big-Eyes commanded that a little river come. down from the moun tains to nm between the two. That is why Red-Rocks flashes her gay reds and purples at the magni ficent but cold Mount Mingus; forever trying to entice him away from his fixed point. The little Verde River, however, will never allow these two to come together. -BETH REESE, '24. SENIOR LALLIGAG Many classes have left us in old C. H. S. But consider them all-'23 is the best. Gert is the president of this brilliant crew, And there's nothing too hard for our Gert to do. She's clever, she's peppy, she's good, and she's sweet; She is a champion, and a real athlete. Glady's the girl who is just full of vim, Her wit and vivacity will help her to win. There's little to happen where she's not around, Of vamps of our high school the queen she ,vas crowned. Carmelita is a charming girl, (Chester wen agrees) As for being kind and loving-well, she's just the "bees knees;" She is always ready to help in need or trial, Always there to greet you with a friendly smile. Helen, so retiring, one scarcely knows is there, But underneath the quiet there dwells a genius rare; Some day she'll be working in an office bower Dashing off her shorthand at fifty miles an hour. Kathryn or "Dumpy," altho' she never grew, Is always good and loyal, to C. H. S. she's true; She has a cheerful spirit, ever bright and gay. We all hate to see our "Dumpy" go away. "Deacon" Allen is the writer of the class of '23, And in every way a genius as all of us agree A veritable genius with a soul of a poet In spite of the fact that his feet don't ;howit. A Senior is Birdie, described by her name ; Wherever you find her you'll find her the same; With enemies none, and friends by the scoreBut flunking would put her in the Class of '24. (I had to rhyme.) Columbus is our student in every sense of the word. He has at his command every word he's ever heard; Some day we'll be proud to know this boy by name, For as a noted author the world will grant his fame.

LABORERS Time: Second period in the morning. Place: Typing Room. Dramatis Personae: Beatrice, Tillie, Mary, Gert, Kathryn, Alta, Howard, Gladys, Miss Wood. The Act Students make rush for Smith typewriters, and finally all get settled. Kathryn: Now is Miss Morse hadn't kept us so long with "Hamlet," I'd have got a Smith. I don't like going to school at a church anyway. Sun day school's the only kind ought to be held there. Beatrice: Well, what on earth's the matter with this type,vriter? All it will make is capital letters! Gert (sarcastically): Take a look at the shift key, and maybe you can fix it up. Oh, Mary and Tillie, I wish you'd quit getting your Latin aloud. I've written "tuba, tubae" four times now. Mary: Oh, girls, do you know what happened in Latin yesterday? Miss King asked Johnny to give the principal parts of the verb "fall" and he said "slippo, spillere, flopi, bumptus." Doesn't that take the crocodile's gold tooth? Gladys: "Oh, Hector! I've skipped a line and have been writing: "My aunt was a thin puny little man, very meek from the day of her marriage!" Throw me your eraser, Alta. Gert: Say, Alta, I'll give you one of my test tubes for that eraser. You know you said yours were all broken! It's a pea2h! Where's you get it? Alta (whose dad is a deputy): Oh, dad rounded up a bootlegger the other night and found it in his hip pocket, so brought it along. Howard (our champ typist-types so fast that the keys are red hot at end of period): Hst! you gals! Miss Wood dost approach. (Enter Miss Wood, rather flippantly, despite the fact that she bears the dignified name, Roberta.) Howard (with spirit) : Look here, it's taken me an hour to write five lines! I'm going to drop this junk! Miss Wood: Why Howard, how could it possibly take you that long to write only five lines? Howard (soberly): Well golly, I spent three-fourths that time erasing, and .... . Gert: �iss Wood, if you'll let me skip this lesson, I'll translate your name mto Spamsh for you. Let's see, it would be Senorita Roberta Madera, or -I tell you what! You could say it by the subjun2tive like "WOULD that I could go!" Now can I .... Miss Wood (trying to be stern): If you don't quit this nonsense and get to work, I'll flunk every single one of you.

THE FLAPPER'S PRAYER Dame Fashion, 'tis to thee, Short road to poverty, To thee I sing. Oh why this change of dress To cause me much distress, And everything?

My clothes of yesterday, Packed in a box are they, So useless now; The little goods in them Would hardly make a hem Or sleeve, I vow.

The family treasury, From my new clothes, you see, Is going broke. Cost of ten yesterday Dresses buys one today And that's no joke.

Some elder friends have thought The flapper was a blot To all humane. Our clothes were s,�andalous ! No one could handle us! We were not sane!

But all the things we did, The foolish words we said, Can never hurt; To kick and jump and run And have just heaps of fun, With no tight skirt!

Although we danced all night; Our feet still felt all right In low-heeled shoe. But now we try in vain To dance without the pain To high heels due.

I can't get used to it; From force of old habit, It all seems wrong. I start to rnsh to work"Whoa!" warneth my new-style skirt, "Your stride's too long."

The little village slept. A half moon floated dreamily above, l�eeping an• observant eye on the village below. The deputy_ traversed _his . uptown beat, and with his departure, came momentary qmet. A_t last a shg�t, oh, a very slight noise below, caused the moon to duck behmd a convernently thin cloud, and start with amazement. . . Stepping softly, and carefully, in single file, came ten g! rls, all m fl_ut tery, moth-like white night-dresses, using the utmost caution, but lettmg a tiny, tiny laugh escape at not infrequent intervals. The mot�erly old moon looked thoughtful, and just a trifle anxious, then, she, too giggled., "Hmn!" she commented dryly. "I know those girls. Yes, I suppose I d better keep my eye on them. They're probably up to mischief-generally are." So she sailed out from behind her veil, and proceeded to watch con scientiously and with energy. And she saw and heard enough, in the next eventful hour to protect her from any future sm1)rise or astonishment. The girls by this time had gone quite far, enlivening their journey, now they were out of ear-shot, with merry laughter, and interesting, if puzz ling, conversation. "Wouldn't my mot}:ier nearly die if she saw me, now? She thinks so much of her darling, if slightly indiscreet daughter," giggled a roly-poly girl. "Quit fibbing!" ordered a dark, authoritative young girl. "You know your mother'd let you go to Alaska in your bathrobe, if you wanted to, Jelly." "You know, I've heard that it isn't good policy to have these parties," impishly stated a very freckled girl, "one is too liable to spoil it all by laughing." "Well, you wouldn't think it so funny, nor laugh so much, if you had to carry all these jars! Oh! Oof! I can't see because of these boxes, and I've stubbed my toe again," a heavily laden one added. "But you though it would be such good fun to go barefooted, Clumsy, old dear!" teased a red-haired, green-eyed young imp, and she dodged an efficiently aimed, and pra::ticed kick immediately after. All this time the little procession had been walking steadily, if carefully, and a great, contented, anticipating sigh was breathed by all as they slip ped down a thick grassy slope and into a thicket of trees. The poor old moon looked puzzled. She didn't understand it all, and anyway, it was going to be pretty hard to see what was happening in that thicket. All at once, then, she gave such a jump that she bumped right into an ominous-look ing cloud. Out of the secretive clump of trees had come a wild shriek, fol lowed by screams, hysterical sobbing or laughing. And the excited old moon nearly pre�aturely became full in her attempts to investigate. The shieks subsided but muffled moans, gasps and hideous little gur gles, came from the thicket, which terrified the anxious watcher. "Harriet! oh, Harriet! please keep quiet! Oh! My face! I hurt so from laughing I'm sick! Clumsy, have mercy, and don't turn 'round. You'll start me again! Oh! And everything's ruined now!" Such as this was what the frantic, girl-be-deviled moon heard, and sh� was joggled so out of her course that the next incident, while reveaHng, was not astonishing to her.

"Well, you big idiots," sarcastically commented "Jelly," as she strolled leisurely and maidenly from the thicket, "if you just go down to the creek, and wash that beauty clay off your faces, I don't think any o.f you will -BETTY CHISM, '25. die."

GETTING OUT AN ANNUAL

Getting out a paper is no picnic. If we print jokes, folks say we are silly. If we don't they say we are too serious. If we publish original matter, they say we lack variety. If we stay on the job, we ought to be out rustling news. If we are rustling news, we are not attending to business in our own department. If we don't print contributions, we don't show proper app1·eciation. If we do print them, the paper is filled with junk. Like as not some fellow will say we swiped this from an exchange. So we did.

CHUMS

It hadn't ever been this way before-Vivie had always helped, or she had helped Vivie. She'd help now, only-well, she didn't want to help her now. Still, if Vivie knew, she'd give up the idea. But Vivie didn't know she was too blinded to see that anyone else wanted him. Laurie just realized what a wonder he was. His eyes-big, dark pools they were-eould say volumes in one glance. It would be heaven to dan.::e all night with him-his dancing was heaven itself. What a wonderful pal he'd make! Laurie saw his faults, but loved him anyway, for his eyes and dancing more than paid for those. They'd have some wonderful times together. She had wanted to tell Vivie-they always told each other everything but somehow it was hard. And then, from the things she said, came the awful realization that Vivie had had the same dreams. But she had him on� pedestal-Vivie always put boys on a pedestal, until she'd receive the jolt of their falling. If she'd only take him down she'd see he wasn't so much. But, still, he WAS much. But things couldn't go on like this. They'd been chums for two long years, and no mere boy was going to separate them. It was downright selfishness in herself! If Vivie only realized, she'd have given him up. But Vivie didn't realize, and she did, so it was up to her. She was more used to giving up things anyway, so it wouldn't hurt so much. But not far away the same thoughts, with the names changed, were re volving through Vivie's head. Vivie did know, but to her Laurie did not. Two little girls that night prayed that something would happen to make the other forget. They were at the show together, as much chums as ever, but somehow the old merry ,ehatter wasn't there. Each had her own thoughts to work out. If HE should come in which one would he sit by? She'd hate it if "Good night, sweet drearns!"-and people wondered why the girls burst out laughing, and hugged each other, when HE and EV A walked down the aisle together and sat next to them!

"No, indeed, young man," and he was violently propelled down the stairs and into Mr. Hull's office. Miss King: "This is a very serious affair. This student has been in- solent to me, and I wish to have him punished with due severity." Berkeley, with tears in his eyes: "She said she would take my name, an' all I said was that she's too late, another girl asked me first."

®rgauiiatin11a THE FORUM The Forum holds such a place in the hearts of C. H. S. that when in an ancient history exam. the question was asked: "What was the Forum?" this answer was given: "The Forum WAS one of the old Roman buildings. It IS an organization of the Clarkdale High School." Dntil four years ago the same question could not have been answered in such a way by any student. In 1919, under the supervision of Miss Bar ker, the first Forum meeting was held. The purpose of this organization is to unite the high school in closer relationship. It aims to establish a stronger school spirit and to give the membars experience in parliamen tary la,"'·· The Fornm meetings are held each \.veek and twice a year the officers are elected. At the clc,se of each regular session a program is given super vised by the Forum program .committee. Each class is expected to give at least one program during the year. This "is to accustom the students to appearing in public, and to please, as well as educate, the other members of the Forum. All entertaining done by the school is under the direction of the enter tainment committee. The membership this year numbers more than a hundred besides the faculty, who are honorary members. Despite the fact that our meetings have been hindered by the burning of our Auciitorium, this organization has thrived and threatens to become the foremost interest of the coming year. THE "C" CLUB It is generally known that, as a body, it is the athletes of a school who hold its interests most at heart. They know what it is to fight to the fin ish-to give their last breath for the cause, when the honor or fame of their Alma Mater is at stake. And the school, in response, turns out for no other activity as they do for a hard-fought footbalf tussle or a "snap py" basketball game. It is to keep up this spirit that the "C" club organized this year. It is no small honor to belong to this club, since one must be the owner of a letter won by playing at least sixty per cent of the games played in any one branch of athletics to become a member. The boys enjoyed a long period of happy "bachelorhood," and had some never-to-be-forgotten "stag parties," but alas, th�se days are t� be no more! Again women's rights were asserted, and m �arch five _girl mem bers were initiated, the first girls of the school to wm regulat10n letters and sweaters. The president of this organization is always an alumnus, and the vice president a high school student. At the end _of the school term an annual banquet is held, to assure one hearty gathermg before the summer vaca tion.

As the fire hindered to some extent the regular Forum programs, the High School Orchestra did not have the advantage it has had in former years to practice for public appearance on the good-natured and long-suf fering Forum members. The orchestra reached its prime in the year 1921-22, having been called upon to play at various occasions at Clarkdale, Clemenceau and Jerome, but this year suffered the loss of some ·of its oldest and best members. As a result Miss Hickman has had practi2ally a new orchestra to build, but has made such a success of it that we are confident that next year they will be playing at all occasions and surpass the reputation they made in 1922.

DEBATING An attempt was made this year to enter an initial debating team in the State High School Debating League. Bill Flynn and Betty Chism were the members of this first team. A debate was held with Jerome on the subject "Resolved: That the United States Government Should Own and Operate All Interstate Rail'roads." The Jerome team were unquestionably and de servedly victorious. The debating enthusiasts of Clarkdale High School believe, however, that, a beginning having been made, the building of a debating team for Clarkdale will, with the same fine support and enthusiasm which were manifested for this first team, be more and more easily done, until' a team worthy of Clarkdale can be made.

LA TERTULIA "A Trabajar," a one-act Spanish play, was given by the second year Spanish class in the Forum meeting of December 14th. The work on this play, and the success with which it was produced, brought about such in terest in conversational Spanish that, to promote this spirit, "La Tertulia" was organized, under the supervision of Miss Mary King. Active membership is limited to students who have studied Spanish for at least one year, and to first-year students maintaining a grade of 1. The faculty who are interested in Spanish are honorary members. The meetings are held twice a month. All business and conversation are conducted in Spanish. An informal program consists of songs, stories, games and jokes, in which all the members wmingly participate. Perhaps many words are heard in our meetings which have never been approved by the Spanish Royal Academy, but they, too, add to the life of the club. Judging by the prngress of the club this term, it is sure to prosper in the years to come. Officers President ........................................ . ...................

THEGIRL'SGLEECLUB We have no apologies to make for the Glee Club. As has ever been the case, some of the best voices were lost in the graduating class of last year. This, however, did not hinder the progress of this organization. Since much of the good material was to be found among the out-of-town gii-ls, the meetings have been held at noon in order to a::commodate these mem bers. As a result of faithful practice, and the direction of Miss Emily Hick man, the club proved itself capable of entertaining the Clarkdale public in May.

The Dramatic Club was organized in 1922, under the supervision of Miss Barker. The first year proved to be very successful, considering the youth of the organization, and plans soared for the second year of its existence. At Christmas time Dickens' "Christmas Carol" was played, in spite of the disagreeable circumstances that resulted from having no auditorium. But since plans and costumes had been made, they overcame all obsta.!Ies, and it was successfully produced in the Episcopal Church. Due to such adverse conditions all dramatic work was suspended for th� year, except two one-act plays, "A Pair of Lunatics," and "Joint Owners in Spain," whi-eh were given for the Forum programs. But it is expected that the club will be a very active organization in the future.

Athletics have a growing place in the school. More and more the au thorities are encouraging sports of all kinds. Within the last two years there have been introduced into C. H. S. three new sports: Football, tennis and track. Three years ago girls' basketball was introduced.

There are many reasons for this. Athletics have ,::ome to the point where they can not be successfully played by "main strength and awkward n�ss." _T�e c-011:bination of moderate physical ability and a quick, accurate mmd will mvanably be superior to physical ability alone. Those who pos sess a clear quick functioning mind are usually the ones who are interested in athl�tics and it is this class of people whom we wish to en::ourage to enter high school. As proof of the statements that have just been made it may be seen in our own and any other school that the ones who are th; most interested in athletics are in a large majority of cases the leaders in· other departments of the school. This does not mean that the star ath lete is the star student in every case, but it means that the student who is pushing athletics along is the student who is the leader in other things. Either that, or the student who is the leader in other things is the student who is pushing athletics along. Take your choice.

We have most of us outgr-own the idea that sports take the mind from the school work to a damaging extent. It is the opinion of some that if a student has not the will power to concentrate his mind on his work when a game is pending or has just been played, he will not have the will power to concentrate his mind on his work without this condition.

Athletics teach many valuable lessons. The ability to take reverses in a sportsmanlike way is not the least valuable of the lessons. When this trait is developed it is possible to take a defeat and yet hold the same friendly feeling that -one would hold if the score would have been the other way. We can not refrain from menti,oning Emerson High of FJ'agstaff in this connection. Not by one look, word, or deed do they betray any ani mosity toward an opposing team or school.

The value of team work is learned in athletics. When a player forgets self and plays only for his school and the team that he represents, it is assured that he has learned one of the most valuable lessons that can be learned at school or elsewhere.

The art -of making friends with one's opponents is a branch of sports manship that is often overlooked. When this is learned it is assured that the possessor of this valuable quality will find his path smoother, his business more pros1)erous and his friends more numerous, than he could · otherwise hope. -

It is evident, therefore, that in athletics more than in any -other part of school one encounters the problems that are sure to confront him when he goes dut into life. The facing of unjust cr�cisms and decisions, the way to take a defeat or win a victory, sportsmanship, team work, and many other greater and lesser lessons are taught in this department of high school.

FOOTBALL The season opened with the first game at Prescott. The first part of the game was close, but in the third quarter an unlucky break gave Pres cott a touchdown. Our green players blew up and Prescott ran up the score. Then our fellows settled down and held for the rest of the game. Our return game with Prescott was •�anceled so we got no chance for re venge. The second game of the season was with Jerome. Jerome scored twice in the first quarter and things looked dark for C. H. S. But in the second quarter line plunges by Bergman and Heady evened the score. Laudeman was out of the game so all attempts to convert goal failed. In the second quarter Black snagged a couple of passes and dodged through a broken field to touchdowns. He also made a pretty drop kick for three more points. Winslow was our next opponent. In this game the score was tied at twelve all in the first half. Then Winslow shifted Southerland, their all state player, from end to fullback. With end runs, line bu:ks, receiving and th1·owing forward passes, drop-kicks, and a touchdown from kick-off, he succeeded in raising the score from 12 to 52. Near the end of this fa tal period he was tackled heavily and had to be taken off the field. After

�hat Winslow could no� score. Our last two points were added in this per10d when Laudeman kicked off over the goal line where Winslow fumbled for a safety. Our only home game of the season was with Jerome. Jerome had strengthened their defense and held us to two touchdowns but we had also strengthened ours, so we won the game safely if not easily with the score ' of 14 to 0. Ou�· last game of the season was played with Emerson H. S. at Flagstaff. Despite the_ fact that f?ur regular players were out of the line-up, we won a comparatively easy victory. Only once was our goal line threatened and our line broke up the line bu-cks with which the light but scrappy Emer son team tried to win. Score, 13 to 0. Our second team played bvo games with Jerome's second team. The first was an easy victory for Clarkdale, but the second went to Jerome by the score of 7-12.

THE LINE-UP

Bill Bergman, halfback, captain and captain elect. "Beelie" was the most valuable man on the team. A hard, sure tackler; good in every de partment of the offense. Special mention on the all-state team. Paul Heady, fullback. Our heaviest man. Paul was a sure ground-gainer on line bucks; the best forward passer in Northern Arizona. All-state second team. Will be missed next year. Bill Black, halfback. Best man on end runs, dropkicks, and receiving forward passes. All N. A. half. Will be with us two more years. Augustine Martinez, quarter and end. "Friday" is very good on defen sive work and has a good eye for picking weak points. All N. A. quarter. Hal Laudeman, end and quarter. "Runt" played most of his games at end; runs the best interference on the team; best punter, place kicker and kick-off man. Bill Haskfns, end and half-back. Gets his .man out of the way all the time. He was out -of part of the games with a broken arm. Walter Shanahan, end and tackle. "Sharinie". is a Frosh, but won his letter. He is a fast and a hard tas::kler. Mike Knezovich end and tackle. "Daddy" is one of the fastest men on the team. Should.be a great help to the team in his remaining two years. Jess Davenport, tackle. One of the lightest men but surest tacklers. Elmo Womack, tackle. "Onions" played a steady game at tackle all the season. Adolph Orantia, guard. "Jack" was a tower of strength at guard. He played every minute of the last two seasons. Lewis Miller, center and guard. "Garbage" played well in all of the games. Ray Allen, guard. Ray did not come out at the first of the season, but after he started he showed up well. Chester Allen, guard and end. "Deacon" played every position on the line.

INTERESTING POINTS OF THE SEASON

Hal's 84-yard run to touchdown against Winslow. Seven touchdowns were made from off-tackle bu,�ks. Out of seven games six were played against teams that had at least one former C. H. S. student. Two teams had them for captains.

BOYS' BASRETBALL The boys' basketball team this year should have been the strongest team that Clarkdale ever had. Every player was· a star, but lack; of team work caused them to lose several games. In the games in which good team work was u·sed, Clarlcdale always -came out with honors against the strong est teams in Northern Arizona. Only two games were lost at home, one being to Prescott and one to Jerome. Next year we will have the same team with the exception of Captain Laudeman. With good team work C. H. S. should have little trouble win ning Northern Arizona championship. Ralph McBride coached this team as well as all other boys' athletics. He has had two years' experience in this position at our school and has built up some real teams. He now is well acquainted with our opponents' playing, knows how to pick their weak points, and where to find his best material at Cl�rkdale High. THE LINE-UP

Harold Laudeman-Captain, forward. Harold was· the most willing to play teamwork of any player on the team. He threw all of the foul throws and was usually the fastest man on the floor.

Billie Black-Forward. Billie was high point man this year and should make things interesting for his op ponents in the next two years.

Elmo Womach-Center. Elmo dropped back to "loaf" guard after jumping center. His steadiness made him an ideal player for this position.

Altgustine Martinez-Guard. "Friday" has had three years' ex--perience and is one of the strong points in our team. He played running guard this year but will probably return to his original position at forward next year.

Bill Bergman-Guard. Bill is the most aggressive player on the team. He plays center in everything except the jumping. He is another Junior with three years' experience.

Jess Davenport--Guard. Jess is a fast, aggressive player and should easily land a regular position next year. As well as being able to play guard he is an exÂ cellent center.

THE SEASON

. Our girls made an even better impression than the boys. Their team work was very good especially between the pairs in the same courts. With more than a just share of hard luck they yet managed to go through the season with a good record against exceptionally strong teams. Their sensational come-back in the second half at Prescott won the admiration of everyone. In the return game with Prescott the team lost one player through fouls, one through injuries and one was away at the time of the game. On their trip they lost their first game away from home rooters by the close score of 15-16. An extremely low ceiling was the cause of their de-

feat._ On their other game of the trip, with Flagstaff Normal, an extreme ly slippery floor and an exceptiona11y good team beat them. Gertrude Mooney, twice captain, was the star. She made 220 points. Her graduation will detract greatly from the team's strength. Beth Reese while not as accurate in goal throwing is fast and Gert's goals are much dependent on the exce11ent team work of the pair. Gladys Crawley at jumping center, was another outstanding star who· will be missed next year. Gladys out-jumped every opponent she played against and was always one of the fastest players on the court. Martha Mary Davey at running center, made the second member of the combination that always dominated their section of the court. Lorah Miller was the most consistent guard on the team. Her depend ibility made her an excellent team mate for any guard playing with her. Alice Wright is a brilliant player whose speed with Lorah's height forms an exce11ent combination. Louise Howard is particularly valuable because of her ability to play any position on the floor. Most of her games, however, were played at guard. Gertrude Jolly is a player whose ability at jumping center would have made her a regular had not the position already been held down by one of the best centers in Northern Arizona. Next year she will do much toward filling the big vacancy left by the graduation of Gladys. Florence Kranso is another player whose playing and faithfulness should win her a place on the first team next year. No account of the team would be complete without a word of tribute to Miss Blanche E. Rayle, the coach, who spared neither time nor hard work: in making the team a success. THE GAMES

THE TRACK SEASON

Last year our first track meet for a number of years was held. Jerome was the victim of an overwhelming defeat. Clarkdale 90, Jerome 31. Only two first places were taken by Jerome. These were the mile, and the javÂ elin throw. Several good marks were set by the Clarkdale athletes. The fifty yard dash in the time of 5 2-5 seconds, the 100 yards in 10 3-5, and the high jump record of 5 feet 8 inches, were the best. The first two were won by Miller who is this year showing a clean pair of heels to his opponents, for the Stanford team. Wombacher, who broke the state record in the high jump is practicing at home and has cleared six feet two inches. Next year he enters U. of A. He seems well on his way to-ward upholding the record of Allsman, a Clarkdale graduate who has been high point man for Arizona. Last year Wombacher won first for C. H. S. in the high jump, broad jump, pole vault and high hurdles. He also w,on second in the discus throw and running first in the relay gained a twenty-five yard lead over his opponent. Âˇ Black, a freshman last year, was high point man with firsts in the 220 dash, 220 hurdles and 440 dash; seconds in 100 yard and 50 yard dashes and pole vault, and a third in the high hurdles. He also ran last in the relay, in._:reasing the Clarkdale lead 25 yards. . In only one event did a Jerome man lead Black across the tape. In this, the high hurdles, the ra::e was so close that many standing at the finish thought that Black would lead his man. Miller had an enviable record of three events and the relay without a Jerome man leading him. The second annual meet was held at Clarkdale. Jerome had devoted much time to track and with the advantage .of having all their last year men, managed to make matters warm for us. Billie Black was again easily high point man, taking firsts in the broad jump, 220 and low _hurdles, second in the 440 and 880 dashes, and third in the pole vault. He ran the 220 in 22 1-5 seconds. Many college sprinters would get a view of his back in this time. Hal Laudeman and "Beelie" Bergman surprised themselves and their friends by their jumping. Hal cleared the bar at 5 feet 3 inches-three inches higher than he had ever made before. A week before the meet "Beelie" tried high jumping for his first time. Four feet nine inches was fairly good, so he entered in the event. Five feet two in.::hes was his mark for second place. Two new stars, Spooner and Knezovich, were discovered this year. They are Junior and Sophomore respectively, so will be with us next year. In fact Hal is the only member of the team that we will lose, and Spooner, who is good for five feet or more in the high jump, with Bergman, who has proven his ability, should take care of the high jump. The team will compete in the Northern Arizona meet at Flagstaff this year and is expeeted to make a good showing.

BASEBALL Last _year our ball team broke even on the season wi�:1\ng- two games and losmg the �-ame number. This year the prospPr.ts were better than ever with a pai! Jf pltchers and a hard-hitting team tehin<l them. Only one game was pl&y(?d, however. This was won from Jerom•i, 22-6. The pitchers, Black an�! Allen, struck out nineteen Jerome men. After tins game Prescott s-1c'lden!y decided to have no baseball and Jerome wanted no more, so the S<'M,on '\','})S left incomplete.

TENN1S Our first inter-school tennis meets were held with Jerome at the Clark dale tennis courts. Hal won the boys' singles, but he and Myron lost in the doubles. In the girls' sets Martha Mary Davey and Gertrude Jolly were om doubles representatives. Martha Mary won the singles after a long hard fight but in the doubles our girls were easily victorious. Hal wins his games on reliable defensive playing, rather than taking chances in the offense. Myron relies on the English that he puts on the ball. Gertrude and Martha Mary play the same style of game. Martha Mary relies on her speed while Gertrude's greatest asset is her reach.

Our merchandise is of uniformly good quality and lower priced than can be

The reason why we can afford such values for such low prices is a sound

business one - we buy merchandise in huge quantities for our 371 stores and •I

can consequently obtain the best price concessions. We sell only for cash and so : cio not have to add a margin to cover losses.

We can therefore consistently sell at rock-bottom prices. Good values at low
