year but one person was graduated from
the institution while now from this, the
leading educational institution of the
state, young men and women are grsdu-
ated by the hundred. He prophesied
such prosperity and advancement in
Glenwood and surrounding country
during the next fifty years As would
render the present structure altogether
inadequate and make necessary another
building, even larger and better than
the building of which we are all So
proud today.

Mrs. Tippett Westerman, county su-
perintendent of schools and secretary
Of the Garfield County High School
board, gave the following historical
address:
Tho Garfield County High School
district was organized on the sixth day
of May, 1910, by the combination OF
fourteen school districts of the county
into one high school district, thus alb
sorbing the district high school OF
Glenwood Springs. At that time about
eighty were enrolled in the high school.
today the enrolment is lis.
On May 4, 1918, bonds were voted to
erect and equip = suitable high school
building, and this building is the result.
This high school aims to adapt itself to
the needs of the county in general aud
to the students in particular; to pre-
sent the training offered in the most
modern way; to promote health; hab-
its, information, ideals, social efficiency,
good will and noble enjoyment. To
eo-operats with al forces in our midst
working toward these ends. 80
During the past few months the pub
lie has generously supported our evsry
effort toward success in high school
work. The citizens have given their
time, their energies, their votes, and
their money for the erection Of this
modern building in which the boys and
girls can do better work and in return
grow into stronger and moro useful
men and women. We believe the high
school body is mindful Of this general
attitude of the people and it endeavors
to reciprocate by doing more and better
work than formerly, where in the old
quarters the work was hindered some
what for lack of room and equipment.
We expect to make this school the
equal of those in our larger cities.
The deeper study We make Of our
young people the more We notice their
talents and characteristics, and just
what work each had best do is . prob
lem with which We must reckon. The
pupil needs . carefully planned eourse
Of development, adapted to his needs
and he needs the subjects - rapidly ~
his ability is discovered. Every pupil
should have . purpose in life before he
leaves the high school, because it will
| mean q wiser and more economic use Of
time, effort and money and the result
is q greater success Of the man both
for himself and his community. 1t 10
to the accomplishment Of these ends
that more courses are being added,
more teachers employed, and to accom-
plish the best results We ask the eo-
operation Of our patrons and friends.
