A. H. S. JUNIORS IN
FORENSIC TRIUMPH

The junior class of Arvada High
school is to be congratulated on the
excellence Of their work in the field
of dramatic art. Everyone expected
''The Nihilist", their class play which
was presented on Friday and Satur-
day evenings to be interesting but
few were prepared for the enjoyment
and success of the performance. To
a large, appreciative audience the
cast put forth unusually good efforts
to entertain and please. The audience
undoubtedly noticed the beautiful
lighting elects used on the stage. To
C. E. Tost sincere appreciation is
felt for making this possible. He gra-
ciously gave his time and labor to
make the flood lights used in the pro-
duction. On previous occasions, the
school has been forced to rent these
lights at no little expense; this is no
longer necessary for the school board
tpgether with the junior class deemed
It sdvisable to purchase lights of
their own. These lights, which Mr..
Tut was able to make for about one
half the retail price are colored slides
which fit in front OF the powerful
5U0-watt globes. By means Of these
any desired shade or color may be
thrown on the stage. Patrons were
2oud In their praise ef the juniors Of
fering and recorded their apprecia-
-tion to members Of the cast and the
coach.
One Of the finest, most beneficial
and inspiring Affairs ever managed
was the institution Of emusic week"
by the people Of Denver. AIvada is
wholly in sympathy with this move
ment and as proof people are to wit
ness . "May Festival Friday night
at 8 o'clock in the high school au-
ditorium. Although this date is two
days previous to the time set for the
beginning Of "Music week., the sem
timent remains the same. The "May
Festival" will be staged by members
Of the grade school. Since the chill
dren have worked earnestly and be-
cause an evening of unusual pleasure
and beauty in the way of music and
beautiful costumes and stage settings
il promised, may it not be hoped that
everyone in and near Arvada will
come to show their appreciation of
real art. Remember, May IL, s p. M.
High school auditorium. The admis-
sion is Is cents. Phonugraph bene-

Several games of baseball were
scheduled for the past week on the
home field but due to rainy weather
the fans were disappointed. The
games will undoubtedly be played
this week. Watch the signboard for
announcement OF same. In addition
to baseball, track is absorbing the at
tention of Arvada's athletes. Due TO
the kindness Of Mr.. West, who spent
Friday afternoon with tractor or
the high school grounds, n quarter
mile track wns made fit for use. In
previous years, it had been necessary
for all rnces to be run on the street
directly in front Of the school. Long
wished.for dreams are gradually and
surely becoming realized.
Mrs. Milliean Of the State Histori-
cal society was . welcome visitor at
our school Wednesday. She address
Cd the pupils on the subject Of "Coi-
orado". Before her talk was nearly
ended. everyone realized how pitiful-
~ little he knew concerning the
manifold resources Of the home state.
Her words were an incentive for ev-
sryone to bost for more and better
rsilrads that these resources might
be developed to the fullest extent.
Most psopls are ignorant Of the pos
abilities Of our state, the wealth Of
which furnishes tempting bait for
other states. Too often people per-
NIT acts to be done which are highly
detrimental to the progress Of their
state. Her words were an earnest
appeal 10 all loyal citizens Of Colo
rado TO rsnnovats that ancient pio-
nssr spirit and make the home state
~ csatsr Of ths universe. The time
