“Senior Dance Tonight,” announced the Aspen Democrat-Times on June 4, 1919.

“The graduating class of the Aspen High School will give its farewell dance at Fraternal Hall tonight, and the class extends a most cordial invitation to all members of the alumni, teachers, and parents of all high school students. Handsome souvenir programs have been prepared by the seniors containing a list of twenty ‘dedicated’ dances arranged in a most unique and original style. The class of 1919 will retire from the A.H.S. under the standard bearing the following most excellent motto: ‘Only the Beginning is Hard.’ The class colors are violet and white, and the class flower is a violet.”
