Highlandlake School.

Wednesday, May %, the Highland
lake schools held their picnic at the
Paul Mead ranch, an ideal place, as
the lawn and shade and grounds for
sports were all that could be desired.
This is che third schol picnic that
has beeD cared for by Mr.. and Mrs.
Mead, who made ample arrangements
for the entertainment. A phono-
graph added much to the enjoyment
of those present.
Dinner, the never-failing source of
delight at picnic, where chicken
and cakes are in endless quantity and
ice cream, lemonade and fruit we're
as free as water, attracted the earn
est attention Of the sixty.five or sew
enty present.
A ball game after dinner proved
Messrs. Strong, Mead and Billings
among the active boys present, and
gave John Holmes, captain score
of 26 against James Ballinger, whose
nine didn't want to work so hard
and counted only four scores.

SOME EARLY DAYS
History of Highlandlake Country
by Original Settlers

The following letter, sent to the
Tribune by F. P. Waite of Boulder,
gives some interesting history on the
early days 10 the Highlandlake
country:
cit was In March, 1874, when L.
c. Mead. C. A. Pound and F. P.
Waite broke ground at what is
Highlandlake. leaving their families
for a time in Longmont and enjoying
the not altogether pleasant privilege
of cooking their own grub, or, as
some say, batching. Two months of
strenuous life found us with remark
ably plain but comfortable shacks,
into which we invited our families.
Then everything ~ent better and we
commenced to live. but tine strenu-
osity did not cease, as we had to
hurry to build the ditch through
in order to save our each forty acres
of grain, which took eight days ol
fourteen hours with no chance for a
strike. The days went along witt
their beautiful sunrises and sunsets
a clear, bracing atmosphere, uncon
taminated with evil surroundings
when along about August the SKI
became suddenly darkened with
clouds of grass hoppers Irregular
Mormons) and for several days it was
question whether they would leave
US anything, but in gathering oul
sheaves found we had about eleven
bushels per acre left, for which We
were very thankful. At the close o1
the seasons operations two Of the
families returned tu Longmont, leav-
ing Waite and family monarchs OF
all they surveyed. Time did not
drag heavily with them. as there
was much to be done to better the
conditions for another campaign.
When spring time came 1t brought
back our neighbors, soon followed by
two other families, the Oviatt and
Martins. Then again another in
flux, the W. H. Oviatt family, Dun.
bar family. Woodlsy True, DR..
Mead, Eli Evans, Hiram Evans and
some others. We now began to feel
that we were growing and we're i'm
pressed with the necessity of orga-
nizing school district. We main
tained school at a private residence
for term. built the main part OF
the present school building, also or
gsnizing a church society, which
used the school house for worship for
a number of years. When we began
to be crowded we concluded to build
"a church. dedicating same entirely
free from debt and quite an orna-
ment, situated on the east side of
the lake. The ground was donated
by L. C. Mead. AS the years went
on, we multiplied and replenished
the earth, and now wish for an elec-
trio line of rUad that our beautiful
hamlet might be hitched up little
closer with the rest of the world.
The Greeley tribune., 1907-05-30

The Highlandlake schools are
source Of much pride to the people
Of the district and it is a matter
complimentary to neighborhood to
see deep Interest in school matters.
The school has grown until this
year four teachers have been required
and will be hired for full time next
year. Principal A. W. Billing has
done good work at the head OF the
schools the past year and it is mat
ter Of regret that he retires from
the work here. He has been fitting
himself for the work OF foreign
missionary and will probably receive
an appointment to that work this
fall. His helpers In the school the
past year were Miss Strong. Miss
Tilyou and Mrs. Beard. The three
teachers have been offered their posi-
tions for next year, which speaks
well for the grade Of work that mas
been done. An enrolment OF loo
with average attendance OF seventy
five is the record Of the year just
closing.

six finished the common school course.
