instance OF it's kind In colorado "a
is indeed a high compliment u ~
efficiency and high standard u -
La Junta high school. The big east-
ern colleges have also recognised this
! high school rs an accredited school.
Al the beginning Of this school year
Everett Edwards was admitted Z to
Dartmouth without taking the usual
examination.
A school has something TO Be proud
OF when the leading colleges Of the
United States recognizes Il ~ holng
on their accredited list. but Il = IN.
deed an even greater honor VIXEN
Uncle Sam honors the school u the
same manner. Some time ago, ct
about the beginning OF this sehool
term, a report was current through
/ out the county that the La Juuta
high school was no longer on the &C
/ credited list OF the colleges. This re-
port, however. was false and utterly
I without foundation. and we would
like to know what the originatorn OF
that report have to say in the face OF
! the action which has recently been
taken by these two institutions.
Al the beginning OF the present
school term Houston DamerOu en-
rolled In the Pueblo high schools
| where he Is at present taking . poot
graduate course. He will probably
continue there until some time In
Janaury when he will enter West
Point. Houston was a graduate Of
the class OF 1914 and has many
i friends In La Junta who all wish him
success in the field which he has
chosen for his life's work.
| The La Junta high school has grad.
yates scattered all over the united
States in the various collegs and In
stitutions and in almost every case
these students have been making
good. Some OF them even eaining
individual distinctions because Of the
individual distinction because Of the
work done by them In those inssitu-
tions. One instance OF this II Samuel
Chutkow. also OF the class Of 1914.
Sam is at present attending the Chi-
cago University which hes an enroll
mcnt OF some 1000 ssulsata. In
every one Of his subjects. except -
for the first semester. he has gainod
the highest grades that the Univers1-
~ gives TO any student. In recosni-
tion Of this the president Of the Ua1s
versity sought him out personally
and congratulated him on the high
stand that he has 30 far kept In his
college work. This Is In . college
where the enrolment Il 80 large that
the students are known by number
only. and II is indeed an honor aud
reflects very highly not only upon
the character Of the student but also
upon the efficiency Of the school he
attended In preparation for his col.
i.se career.
Another instance Of the hish az.
erages attained by Ia Junta gradu.
at.s Il found Ia the work OF Harold
Giiiiiand who Is attending colorad
College. Harold IL n graduate OF the
class OF 1914. and attained the high.
