TO THE ADMINISTRATION
Of two deserving units of our educational system, the School Board and the Faculty we are humbly appreciative. Their task is keeping the wheels of educational progress well oiled. They are to a school what good coaches are to a team; Golden i s fortunate in having "coaches" of sterling quality.
Under their expert management and sy mpathetic understanding, ,ve have pro s pered Educat ional facilities have improved, improved so much, in fact, that the Golden sc hool system ha s advanced to fir st class standing, and high sc holastic standard s have been maintained .
We, the Class of 1940, wish to express our gratitude to those represe ntatives who have so capably administered the affairs of the sc hool, that we are proud to be a cog in this wheel of progres s.

Golden High School Golden, Colorado Class of 1940
Readers of the Senior Annual Here and There Anywhere, United States
Dear Readers:
This ,vill serve to introduce to you a group of fifty-six outstanding young people ,vho will this year walk proudly forth in caps and govrns-four years of fun, lasting friendships, and learning written in their memories and a shining future in the dreams-to receive well-earned diplomas May 31, 1940.
Wide steps and fretful hours lay before the group of wondering pupils ,vhen they became a part of G-Olden's destined successors, dreaming that they, too, in four years ,vould be the mighty, envied Seniors. Of course, as is true with every class, not all these first voyagers completed the journey. At the ports of every ne,v year old passengers ,vould stay behind and new ones with vise approved ,valked the gangplank to higher decks.
Admiral Ralph Bradley, with the assistance of Captain Leonard Vogel, guided the ship across Freshman Bay. With Comn1ander Mary Jane Allison 5Ucceeding Jean Warren and Ensign Bill Owens, the liner, "Queen 1940,"docked in the calm waters of Sophomore Gulf.
Then in September came the signal to set sail again-all was clea1 ahead. Admiral Ralph Bradley again on deck ,vith Skipper Colman McMahan and his abled-bodied mates, Bill Sarell and Bill Owens, welcomed those who joined the cre,v and it was a hale and hearty outfit that waved Ahoy to Junior Harbor.
After a three months' vacation in this pleasant resort, a new Admiral, Bill "Soapy" Sarell, commanded the little "Queen-." Captain Martha Faye Hodgeman aided the busy fell ow and in turn ,vas assisted by Comn1ander Lloyd Churches and Ensigns Monty Pike and Eileen Thuet, who, with the commanding officers, steered the "Queen-" through many storn1y seas. A gala affair t-0 celebrate a successful voyage was held on board-the Junior Promenade where Holland ,vas reproduced in realistic ,vall scenes and Dutch-ly costumed punch girls and check-room assistants. The next journey was certain to be the most important of all. It ,vas with this view in mind that the cre,v chose capable, though new, leaders and set sail for SeniorSeaport.
Th1s time it ,vas "Bon Voyage" forever to a class that would :iever return together to the same port. Admiral Naomi Neal ,vas guiding the ship on this, its last trip. Skipper Colman McMahan was on hand. Commander Vic Oppenlander kept the log book in order and Ensigns Arleen Schaffer and Monty Pike counciled the faithful crew. Then the work be6 an-'the Senior play and graduation activities. All hands were on deck to welcome First-mate Diploma. In maroon and white caps and go,vns all passengers of the "Queen 1940" received the honorary discharge.
And now we say to them: "Shipmates forever, who forever may be .Successful voyagers on a calm, blue sea, May your futures be great, May you always be -Just Shipmates-.
Ren1ember us, The Class of 1940.

The majority of this n ew class came from Golden, while others ventured forth from Fairmount, Maple Grove, Guy Hill, Ralston , Daniels, and neighb-Oring states
After re covering from their stage fright of the fir s t fe,v days , the ela s s chos e t he following officers: Wanda Mae Selby, President, first s emes ter; Mary Ellen Vorce, President, second semes ter ; Mildred Heath, Vice-President; Florence Geudner, Secretary-Treasurer They s elected Garvin Bw rough s to repre s ent them in Strodent Council. Their first step into s ~ial life ,vas the c la s s party , wh i ch, needless to say, was a succes s
In the s econd year Albert Corfn1an, Helen Ruth Gann , Gerald Gould, Don Sm ith, and Mary Kay Th-0mas joined the ranks of the Sophomores.

The class officers were : Mildred Heath, President; Fred We s t, Vice-Pres ident; Flore nce Geudner and Mary Kay Thomas, Secretary-Treasurers ; and Ethel Jane Harvey, Council representative.
The s c hool year 1939-40 brought many new activities to the Juniors. Aibly piloted by the faculty s ponsors , Mrs. Helen Luddington and Mr. Mas on Farrow, the clas s e ntertained the Seniors at the annual Promenade which can ied a southern colonial theme.
New face s to appear this year were Wayne Hyllegard, Ruth Lisco, Ruth Mas on, Virginia Mayer, Oliver McMahan , Jani c e Sherriff, Audrey Bacon, and Juanita McCorkle.

THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY
The Golden High School Chapter of the National Honor Society of Secondary Sohool s ,vas organized in 1927 to sti mulate ciesire to render se rvice, an enthusiasnt for schola r ship, and to encourage leadership and the developntent of character in the pupils of Golden H igh School.
Men1bership, based on scholar ship, leadership, character, and se rvi ce, is both active and graduate, elected by a council consisting of the rprincipal and four or more teachers ,vhom he may se lect Unanimous votes are requi r ed for election to this chapter.
The names of pupils eligible fo r membership in this chapter may be recom1nended or proposed by any member of the faculty. Candidates eligible to membership must have a sc h ola r ship rank in the first fourth of their re s pective graduating class.
The election of not n1ore than five per cent of the jun ior class may take place during the last ,month of the sixt h semester. The e lection of not more than ten per cent may take place before the end of the seventh s emester. The remainder may be cho s en during the eigh th 01 las t semester before g r aduation. Not more than fifteen per cent of any se nior, or graduating class may be elected to this chapter.
We ar e proud of these National Hon or Society s tudents and the interest stim ulated in thi s chapter during the past year.
As every class looks forward to the time when they will publi s h their memory book, we, too, were filled with hope and expectant anticipation.
The Class of 1940 may well be proud of their yearbook. It is truly "bigger 'n' better" than ever. The DEMON has grown and is now twelve pages taller. It has increased in strength with the adverti se ments of loCRl merchants and support of the community as well as the loyal student body.
Through hard work, careful planning and cooperation of the staff members with the sponsor and editor, we are now ready and happy to pre.sent our annual, and we sincerely hope you will get as much enjoyment from thumbing through its pages as we have had in compiling it.
