The members this year are C. W. Taylor, president, W. C. Grigg, H. W. Keel, S. R. Heller, L. B. Stants, and H. A. Snider. Olin Strowig has been elected to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of H. A. Snider. Mr. Snider has served as a member of the Board of Education for twenty-two years. Those who know him best know that this means twen- ty-two years of quiet, efficient service, kindly and cheerfully given. Be- cause he is quiet and unassuming, the public does not know, and perhaps does not appreciate, how impartial, how efficient, how much above the aver- age, and how altogether valuable have been the services he has rendered our schools. The general work of the Board of Education is accomplished through two committees. One is the building and grounds committee, the other the education and finance committee. Much of the daily routine work is done by Mr. Gardner, superintendent of schools. Mrs. Edna Sampson is his secretary, and is also clerk of the Board of Education. C. XV. TAYLOR H. A. SNIDER S. R.

The struggle for the erection and equipment of these schools was long and difficult, physically as well as financially. But aided by the untiring efforts of those leaders of the past whose desire it was to secure for their posterity an opportunity to grasp for higher learning, the worth-while task was accom- plished. 4 al 1, ,aerii-ima, ,,ll: Q o 4 , , v -'v ,- ' ' ':.l" those of today! The first school dates back as early :: :A AZ . ' . ll: , V V , f PJ N U I. How different are our schools of yesterday from ' as 1870 when a few of the broader-visioned parents 5 responded to the call for education for the coming , 0 14,7 generations, and exemplified it in the erection of a ,TER pD small stone school building located on South Waliiut Lkggg Street. The teacher was W. C. Wiley, an early pion- eer in AlJ1lC11C,S educational field. Later improve- ments were made, and more schools were built, until Abilene now boasts of six modern school houses fully equipped with suffi- cient facilities to accommodate fifteen hundred students. A similar striking comparison can also be shown in the number of grad- uates completing the four-year high school course. In 1880, only five stu- dents Were graduated, while the graduating class of 1929 numbers ninety- eight students. A corresponding increase has also taken place in the num- ber of teachers employed. The first year the high school was in existence, only one teacher constituted the faculty, while today the teaching force con- sists of twenty-five efficient instructors. Today students who attend Abilene High School have the privilege of choosing among several fields of specialized work offered in the school cur- riculum. These include Professional, Normal Training, Commercial, Home Economics, Manual Arts, and Vocational Agriculture. Each department is complete in all details and provides proper equipment for the advancement of learning. , Abilene High School has always ranked high in scholarship, athletics, debate, music, and oratory, and schools all over the State are willing to recognize her as a progressive institution, turning out men and Women of merit who will ,later launch into the world's work and carry out the same high ideals which have been instilled into them during their high school days, 45 LASSBS Im fl xilx :lid W4 try our sklll, and bravely sought our heads to fill." ff Y R T 1 Hx Bai 5 .n Q 'f-na?

After four years' pursuit of elusive studies, cultivation of varieties of friendships, and a certain amount of social training, we are fast nearing the day of graduation, when we enter the world for which we have been preparing. This yearls officers were: Henry Smith, president, Marie Roemer, vice presidentg Ruth Coulson, secre- tary, and Deane Duffy, treasurer. The class was sponsored by Miss Opal McPhail, Miss Miriam Dex- ter, Miss Ethel Giles, Miss Ruth Hoffman, and Mr. Fred Allison. 012AJgm1XIeCrfggIAIL We Seniors are not mere commonplace Seniors, Kan. Wesleyan Col- but have been leaders in numerous events since our first days in A. H. S. in 1925. As Freshmen, we won our red and white banner in the Annual contest, and again took first as Sophomores. Our Junior play "The Whole Town's Talking" was conceded to be the most successful of its kind ever produced in Abilene High. At the close of our Junior year we bade the Seniors farewell at a banquet in a winter garden. lege of Commerce Instead of re resentin the facultv in our Christmas cha el, we ave a . P g I . . P 55 play entitled "Uncle Mel's Christmas." Our play on April 12, "The Green Dragon Emerald," was a Chinese mystery play which was of an entirely dif- ferent setting. T11 scholarship, literary ability, and athletics, our class as a whole has won unusual honors, and holds an enviable record. Spcially, our members are leaders. A spirit of comradeship and good fellowship binds us together here and this will help us to work in co-operation with our fellowmen.

We are at that happy time in high school when class spir- it is highest and class co-operation is best. We are not a mediocre class, because ever since we crossed the threshold of A. H. S. for the first time we have been outstanding in our accomplishments. It remained for the junior class to introduce the standardized class rings in A. H. S. The junior class was instrumental in finding a means for obtaining bet- ter student government in A. H. S. The Junior class was well represented in all branches of athletics, in- ter-school and intramural. Socially, too, we have excelled, parties and hikes served to weld our class into a solid unit and bring school spirit to the front. The crowning peak of our brilliant social career was the junior-Senior reception, held for the first time at the City Audito- rium, and proclaimed by many as the best in years. These many outstanding achievements are due not to the outstanding qualities of a few individuals but to the high standards of leadership found in the class as a whole. The class was sponsored by the following members of the faculty: Miss Pauline Holiday, Miss Dorothy Taylor, Miss Clarice Case, Miss Maurine Morley, and Mr. Charles Hawkes. Officers of the class were: Morris Beamer, president, George Burkholder, vice presidentg Maxine Hooper, secretary, and Leonard Carney, treasurer.

The following leaders were chosen: Fred Savidge, presidentg Gertrude jones, vice presidentg Timothy Gruen, secretaryg and Dale Lan- ning, treasurer. A get-acquainted hike was held early in the school year at Morton's grove north of town.

Other activities included the presentation of the Kansas Day program on january 29. Short sketches of Kansas history were dramatized and pre- sented in a manner which brought to the front the dramatic ability of the class.

Two pictures "Martin Lhuz- C . lumbiaf N' Y' Zlewitu and l'VVilliam Tellf' were presented. Georgia O'Dell, as chairman of one entertainment committee, produced a one-act play entitled "Rehearsal" which had a very clever plot and which was staged by some of the members. There were a few miscellaneous programs also, in which some interesting discussions were carried on, musical numbers giv- en, and social times enjoyed. Perhaps the most interesting of them all was the evening devoted to the study of Scotch literature in which the life and Works of Robert Burns were stressed. A biographical sketch of his life was given and a number of his interesting works were read. Helen Klover sang two appropriate Scotch songs.

Last fall the journalism Class was represented at the Kansas University journalism Conference at Law- rence by Bill Whitehead and Merle Berger. The Booster was entered in three contests this year. It won the first-class honor rating with the National Scholastic Editor, which is considered ex- cellent. There is only one place higher which is the DOROTHY TAYLOR All-American honor rating. English Uni' of Kan" A' B' In the University of Kansas contest the Booster won first place for the best record of service to the school. The papers were judged on the following: best editorials, best feature, best news story, best solving of business problems, and best record of service to the school. The Booster was entered in the contest sponsored by the Kansas State Ag- ricultural College where the paper is judged as a whole. Results will be announced later. The Booster was published twice in September which has never been done before because of the inexperience of the staff. Special six-page issues of the Booster this year have been published for the G. R. Conference which was held in Abilene, and the Christmas issue. Another special issue was the Scandal Sheet entitled "Bored of Education." The Journalism Class has sponsored two contests this year.

Girls' Athletic Association I-ll? GIRLS' Athletic Association was first organ- ized in Abilene High School in the fall of 1928. To become a charter member it was necessary to hike fifty miles, thereby obtaining one hundred points. The hikes started at three miles and gradually in- creased up to ten miles, which was the maximum number of miles to be hiked. Points were earned for participation in various activities. The point system was as follows: For hik- ing 100 points for first fifty miles, 50 points for sec- ond fifty miles, 25 points for every additional fiftv miles. For sports: 100 points for winning class teams, CLARICE CASE 50 points for non-winning class teams, 25 points addi- Phy. Ed. and sci. tional for captains. For "A" test: 3 points for per- K- S- T- C-i Emporia' sons receiving a grade above eighty. To receive a big letter "A" it is necessary to have 1,000 points. This is the aim of every girl in the Association. B. S. Officers elected were: 'Florence Stewart, presidentg Dorothy Jensen, vice presidentg Almeda Black, treasurer, Gertrude Jones, secretary, Vera Koch, hike master. The sponsors were Miss Dorothy Taylor, Miss Lorene Reynolds, and Miss Clarice Case. director of girls' athletics. Nine girls made scores of Q0 or above and were awarded trips to Hays to the State Athletic meet for girls, Those who made the trip were Dor- othy -lensen, Freda Smith, Gertrude Jones, Emma Long, Marjorie Pray.

It was composed of sixty-six members and sponsored by three capable sponsors, Miss Mina Lun- den, Miss Mabel Pinson, and Miss Opal McPhail. This club began in 1923 with about thirty members and the membership has steadily increased each year. The purpose of the club is to help the members to get Z1 better idea of business by listening to talks given by men and women in various lines of business, to af- ford an opportunity of speaking in public by appear- ing on club programs, to give training in parliamen- MINA LUNDEN tary drill, and to develop leadership. Commerce - K. s. T. C., A. B. The club is open to all juniors and Seniors taking C 1 b' L' M. A., . - s - . Gum la nl the full Commercial Course. Those taking a major subject may become associate members. The effort is to give practical knowledge of modern business life to all the members. The programs this year were very interesting. The club gave a chapel play on March 22, entitled "Hooks and Crooks," and had monthly meetings with a Christmas party and Hallowe'en celebration. Officers of the club were: Fred Snider, president, VVayne Bunker, vice presidentg Blanche llayne, secretaryg Annabelle Stark, treasurer, Della btark, advertisin manager. 6 ii L TOP ROYV-Johnson, Childs, Kauffman, Baldwin, Bunker, Akezj.

Thalia Club HALTA, AN HONORARY organization for Latin students, was organized October 2, 1928. Mem- bership in the club was restricted to classes above elementary Latin and to those students who had an average of G or better in their Latin course. The following officers were selected: John Case, president, Naomi Chronister, vice president and chair- man of the program committee, Charlene Schiveley, secretary and chairman of the membership committee, and John Stewart, treasurer. Miss Maurine Morley was head sponsor of the club. The assistant Latin in- structor in the high school is Mrs. Genevieve Andrews. MRS. G. ANDREVVS Iqatin M Programs were held about every three weeks. Lm' of Kan" B' " Special occasions were observed and celebrated and the themes were well carried out in the programs. Several were of partic- ular interest for their correlation of Roman and modern customs. A unique feature of the Hallowe'en party was fortune-telling on leaves by the Cumean Sibyl. Christmas was celebrated by a "Feast of the Satur- nalia" at which the members were dressed in Roman costumes. At the Val- entine party Cupid and Psyche presented in a dramatic reading the story of their love affair. In March a meeting was held in honor of Julius Caesar, who was as- sassinated on the ldes of March. The anniversary of the founding of Rome in April, 753 B. C., was given due celebration. A In February the club put on a movie entitled "The Last Days of Pom- peii" which was instructive as well as entertaining. TOP ROVV-O'De11, Bushey, Bangerter, Leonard, S. Chronlster, Franks.

Columbia University Mathematics Club HE MATHEMATICS Club has as its purpose the learning of interesting and unusual things in the field of Mathematics for which there is no time in the class room with regular class work. Meetings were held at least once a month and often twice a month. Any student passing the Fresh- man Algebra examination was eligible. Dues were twenty-five cents a semester. During the first semester the club devoted its at- tention to the use of the slide rule. It was a unique and interesting study. Each member was responsible at the meetings in second semester to report some timely phase of math- ematics occuring in the world. Une meeting turned to the discussion of great engineering projects for which mathematics is very necessary. Some of these are Boulder Dam, the new Holland Tunnel in New York and the Great Northern Tunnel. Later in the year the fourth dimension, stories of early mathematics, biographies of famous mathematicians, fallacies, magic squares, and code writing occupied the attention of the club. Members were appointed by the president to make special reports on these subjects. The officers were: Leonard Carney, presidentg George Burkholder, vice-presidentg Almeda Black, secretaryg Florence Stewart, treasurer. The sponsors of the club were the two mathematics teachers, Miss Vera Steininger and Miss Loreue Reynolds. FIRST ROVV-Hugh, Madaus, gl'i9S1llgOI', Beamer, Gray.

EORG.-XNIZING a club which had not been in op- eration last year, the members elected the fol- lowing officers: Paul Cassat, president, Carlos Shafer, vice president, George Green, secretary-treas- urer. The constitution was drawn up by a committee composed of Carl Bath, chairman, Raymond Burn-- worth, and Carl Landis, with Mr. Hawkes as adviser. The object of the club was to study scientific sub- jects not included in the regular curricula of the school and to provide an interesting and instructive entertainment for its members. The programs were divided between special speakers and the members. Meetings were held every two weeks, at which time talks on astronomy, radio, and aviation were glv- en. The arrangement of the programs for the club meetings was left to a committee of three appointed by the president at each previous meeting. Most of the programs were concluded by a moving uicture, run on the hiffh school machine, iertaininfr to the sub ect under 1 Q - Q 25 - . 4 :S 1 discussion. A Joint meeting was held with the Commercial, Club on Iann- ary 28, at which time reels on Wiiitei' Sports in Canada, The U. S. Postal System, and the Edison Battery were shown. Therefore, we hope that the reorganization of this club will be a means of instilling interest into the minds of the students along scientific lines, and that the Science Club of future years will be a strong factor in helping to keep the students of Abilene High School abreast with modern develop- ments. The members feel that the present organization has accomplished to some extent this purpose.

In the Annual-selling contest this class was first to win a half holiday, and took it visiting in the country, ending the day with a picnic supper. The March visiting day found the members scattered over the county, visiting rural schools. All returned, eager to complete their training in a creditable way, and eager to put theory into practice.

This was a shorthand organization and the purpose of the club was to gain a more definite knowledge of the principles of shorthand through reading and writing, and to build a bigger vocabulary of both English and shorthand words. Names of the members were divided into nine groups, each group consisting of three or more mem- bers, and each committee took charge of one monthly meeting. The committee had the authority to organ- ize, plan, and present the program with the assistance of the club sponsor.

The social life of the club included a Valentine party held at the home of Martha Redfield, and a breakfast early in the spring. From this group also came the State Typewriting Team. The eight members who tried out and qualified for positions on the team are Beatrice Craley, Estella Engle, Della Stark, Dorothy Jensen, Hazel Chrisco, Clara DeHaven, Lucile Baier, and Marie Roemer. From these eight will be chosen five who will represent Abilene in the State contest at Salina. TOP ROW-Edmundson, Redfield, Reel, Houlton, Engle, Jensen, Landes, Klover.

Art Club f I HE OBJECTS of the Art Club are to increase knowledge and appreciation of Art, to encourage better production in Art, and to enrich life, as well as to assemble an Art collection for the high school and grade schools. Meetings are held in the High School Art Studio on the first and third Tuesday of each month, interesting programs furnished the en- tertainment. Exhibitions of Art work, includingpainting, sculp- ture, and prints, are fostered by the club. Two ex- hibits were sent away, one going to Lindsborg on which we won honorable mention in the Class A ex- 1.3SfpHER TURVEY hibit. and the other one, a health exhibit, going to To- .xrt , V, ,. ' ' ' ' Uni. Of Uma., B. F. A' peka. An exhibit of lithographs, engravings, and and B. A. wood Cuts was held in the studio sponsored by the Um' uf Chicago club. The individual exhibit was held in the studio toward the end of the school year. The officers are: Celestia Murphy, presidentg Howard Marshall, vice president, Ruby Wier, secretary-treasurer. Miss Esther Turvey was spon- sor. Other members of the club are Thelma Ayers, Effie Bushey, Nelson Cahill, Thelma Chase, Lona Conn, Ruth Kean, James lXIcBeth, Evelyn Mc- Donald, Celestia Murphy, Delbert Pike, Victor Viola, Ruby Wier. At Christmas time the students made many beautiful and useful gifts. The Art Club in co-operation with the Art classes helped decorate for the class parties and the G. R.-Hi-Y frolic. Place cards. nut cups, and menus for the different organizations were also made by the students. The club members painted scenery for the annual operetta, "Robin Hood, Inc." and the Senior play, 'fThe Green Dragon Emerald." 1 TOP IIOXV-XYeir, Turvey, Ayres, Heller, Murphy, McDonald.

Early in November a plan was inaugurated which established a school cafeteria. The first year foods girls had charge of it and conducted the cafeter- ia in a most systematic manner. The class was divided into groups of three, and each group was numbered. The Finance group made out the menus, ordered the groceries, and looked after the laboratory. The Dining Room group looked after the sewing room and rearranged it into a dining room every noon. They provided curtains for the win- dows, and table covers of the same color. The ortho- Home Economics phonic furnished the music during the meal. A third group aided the Finance group in serving. Managers were appointed and complete detailed reports of the expense were kept of each day's meal. The second year foods class, with Mrs. A. E. jones as instructor, took up work on menu building, budgeting, and market- ing. Correct menus were made and studied. Expense accounts were fig- ured and put in reasonable budget form, and various brands of food were considered. MRS. A. E. JONES K. S. A. C., B. S. This class served three dinners during the year. The first was to the School Board, the second to the debate team and sponsors, and the last to the Girl Reserve Cabinet, Y. W. C. A. Committee, and city sponsors. These dinners gave the girls an opportunity to apply in a practical man- ner what they had gained from the course.

Now there are 3,290 books cata- logued which shows an immense increase caused by the larger school enrollments. The books are all classified and indexed according to the Dewey Decimal Classification system, which is one of the most efficient for library work. The libr- ary serves all departments and provides an excellent reference section for use in research work. ' Important improvements have been made which E'1LHEL.GILES include a new vertical file containing clippings and lbrarian . . Um. of Kan., A. B. pamphlets, arranged according to subject matter. A card catalogue has also been placed in the library which lists all books on the shelves. There are three reading tables and a convenient newspaper and magazine file for the large number of current newspapers and magazines which are secured for the use of the various de- partments in school. Many new books are added each year to give a great- er variety for the outside reading work of the students. Uni. of Minnesota A new plan has been adopted this year providing for English students, preferably juniors, to assist Miss Giles one hour daily with library work. Reading credit is given for this work and the plan has proved valuable for the experience it gives to students in library work. The study hall is connected with the library and has a seating capacity for one hundred fifty-two students. It houses a number of cases contain- ing valuable collections of numerous shells and other interesting curious. Through the untiring efforts of Miss Ethel Giles, librarian, the library has attained its high degree of efficiency in serving the school. g M -x xl 4 5 ZI QN I -S ' Q -gx W W 5 , X Ar ZX 'qyfaei 0 A xr, , ' , t x, 5, W ,..

The play, "The Green Dragon Emerald," was suggested by an old Chinese legend involving a Mah Jong set carrying a deathBf green dragon tile. The play opens with the reappearance of the Mah Jong set, which in- volves Milford Ashley, james Childs, a wealthy American living in Peking, and Corine, Kathryn johnson, his beautiful daughter. After a strange se- quence of events and the appearance of Sang Wu, Perry Stark, a sauve, brilliant and unfathomable descendent of the Manchus, Corinne mysterious- ly disappears on the eve of a Kuomintang riot. Ashley, aided by Robert Valentine, Rudolph Weyfaiit, Corrine's fiance, the untiring efforts of Ty Lee, Ray Toliver, their faithful servant, and Mammy, Vera Koch, Corinne's colored nurse, is unable to find the slightest clue to Corinne's whereabouts. They are unceasingly harassed by the con- stant occcurences of most unusual events. Other characters were: Sam Weiitworth, a young American attache of the consulate, Harold Kuglerg the Apparition, Blanche PaynegSui San, a servant of Sang Wu, Margaret Bacon, Ah Ming, a servant of Sang Wu, Dorothy May Green, Colonel Leighton, of the U. S. secret service, jack Morrison, and Dr. James Willis, solver of the mystery, Martin Cheney. Miss Esther Christmore, coach, deserves much credit for the success of the play as does Miss Esther Turvey who had charge of the scenery which included an elaborate sunken garden. Miss Clarice Case had charge of the clever interludes which included a Marionette dance given by jean Taylor, Lucile Kessinger, Katherine Keel, and Dorothy Jensen. Dorothy Jensen also gave a clog dance. a to., '- -. .Ijf,.:ii".,r:.:'...rit:::xiti::::3ixf:1Mr'err" 'N""e ffl'iM1+" ..,... 5 53-555 if B 3'P4fi?Bftf'N.gulf-'fiL'7fTf!f111Tf' -...,...........- Lsfe, ..-:Q ., ,,,, ,,,,...,.,v M.-.-.-1 , ., ,..,,...,.,,,v,. ,vie "Romeo and J ane" Junior Play HE FIRST dramatic presentation of the year was given by the Junior Class jan. II. The curtain rose promptly at 8:15 at the City Audito- rium on "Romeo and Jane," a Samuel French Royalty Play by Edward Childs Carpenter. The entire action of the play was laid in one set-the living room in the house of Dr. Kenyon, Carl Bath, in Washiiigtoii, D. C. His two daugh- ters, jane and Letty, were impersonated by Janet Hurd and Dorothy Faris. "Plain" Jane spent her time and talents trying to make popular the con-- ceited and too talky Letty. john Rugh, as Philidor Ventura, nicknamed "Romeo" by jane because he came over the wall, took the lead as the Crown Prince of Rumania. The action centered around the valuable French hat box whose contents were unknown until the last act. Other characters were Brett, the villain, Sylvan Sidesingerg Mallory, of the Federal Secret Service and nurse to Romeo, Earl Meulig General Tancredi, aid to Princess Dagmar, Sterl McClintickg Princess Dagmar, Phil- idorls aunt-in-law, Lillian Graff. All these added greatly to the success of the play, due to the able coaching of Miss Dorothy Taylor. Clever interludes between the four acts coached by Miss Clarice Case, were the Pony Boy Clog by Charlene Schiveley and Catherine Gleissnerg Skaters Waltz by Iona May Morrison and jean Rogersg Harold Teen Drag by Helen Froelick, Helen Habernian, Florence Stewart, Frances Kehler, Jean Kessinger, Mary Olive Forney, George Burkholder, Carl Landes, Fred Cole, Leonard Carney, John Case, and Kenneth Cavender. The play was coached by Miss Dorothy Taylor to whom much credit is due for the success of the production. Q", . V -.,Qi, 35,1 im- aW..-... ..,. .. ,.-Q3..:,lzg:z1.TPs.u.s--. ,-.-,,. ,.,,.,.,,.- Mr.. Affirmative Debate Team HIS YEAR an entirely new plan of debating was used. On February 16 a tournament was held at Salina in which the eight Central Kansas League debate teams participated, Abilene placing fourth. Vera Kock and john Rugh were the members of Abilene's regular affirmative team, with Henry Smith and Sterl McClintick as a second team. Non-decision debates were held at various times before the tournament. The affirmative met Salina, Chapman, Lincoln, and Herington in these practice de- bates.

Vera Koch, a four year letter debater, will be the only member of the team who will be lost by graduation. This means that the prospects for next year's debate season are bright, as seven experienced debaters will be available. On February 26, a formal debate banquet was held at the High School. The debate theme was carried out in the place cards, toasts, and general atmosphere. Those present were the members of the debate team, Miss Christmore, Mr. and Mrs. Gray, Mr. and Mrs. Endacott, and Mr. Gardner. Vera Koch acted as toastmistress, and toasts were given by Miss Christ- more, Beulah Browning, John Rugh, Mr. Endacott, Mr. Gray, and Mr. Gard- ner.

The negative was upheld by Beulah Browning and Sylvan Sidesinger on the regular team, with Lillian Graff and Catherine Gleissner as a second team. In a series of non-decision practice debates, the negative met Salina, Chapman, Herington, and Man- hattan. The purpose of these practice debates was to give the debaters an opportunity to better their argu- ments in preparation for the tournament. In the final tournament, they defeated Lindsborg's affirmative in the first round, and were in turn de- feated by Salina's affirmative in the second round. usual, solid credit was given to all eight debaters who n for weeks under the able direction of Miss Christmore.

Forensics - GAIN THIS YEAR, Vera Koch represented Abilene in the Central Kansas League Reading Contest which was held April 8 at Ellsworth. Beulah Browning was our representative in Oration. Seven schools were entered: Ellsworth, Chapman, McPherson, Lindsborg, Herington, Sa- lina, and Abilene. Abilene succeeded in gaining her full share of the laurels as Vera Koch placed first in Reading and Beulah Browning fourth in Oratory. Vera Koch read "The Ruggles' Dinner Partyn by Kate Douglas Wiggiii and received much favorable comment on her work and ability. Beulah Browning orated on the subject, "The Present Significance of the Constitu- tion," and showed improvement in her work since the first contest. Beulah Browning also entered the Kansas City Star Oratorical Contest and placed second in the county. The Star contests have grown in popu- larity and have proved to be valuable practice for the League contest which comes later in the year. Abilene was fortunate in being the place chosen for the district contest this year with Mr. Gardner as district director. Abilene's representatives in Reading and Oratory were chosen by pre- liminary elimination contests. C. M. lflarger, Williaiii Scott, and Rev. von Gruenigen acted as judges for the oratorical contest, ranking Beulah Browning first, Donita McCulloh, second, and Cecil VVoody, third. Mrs. Elliott Belden acted as judge for the Reading Contest ranking Vera Koch, first, Sylvan Sidesinger, second, and Catherine Gleissner, third. Miss Esther Christmore, assisted by Miss Ruth Hoffman, sponsored and coached Abilene's entrants in Reading and Oratory and much credit is due them for their efficient, untiring efforts to place these activities on a higher, plane in A.

The charter members drew up the constitution and by-laws of the club. Meetings were held every Friday afternoon. Miss Esther Christmore, who was sponsor of the club, outlined at the beginning of the semester a program which was followed in the meetings. During the eighteen weeks members prepared and delivered speeches and orations, besides giving toasts, and interpreting eight readings in poetry and prose of humorous, serious, dramatic and pathetic types. Three mock banquets were held and menu cards with programs and color schemes made them seem almost real. The following four one-act plays, with each mem- ber taking some part, were presented for chapel: "Thank Goodness the Ta- ble Is Spread," "Sauce for the Goslingsf' "The Trysting Place gn and "Stranded Strangers." Those who took part in "Thank Goodness the Table ls Spread," were Edward Gray, Catherine Gleissner, Vera Koch, john Rugh, Sylvan Sidesing- er, and Cecil VVoodyg in "Sauce for the Goslingsf' Verland Hoffman, Ruth Cook, Henry Smith, Beulah Browning, George Green, Donita McCulloh, and Opal Scott, in "Stranded Strangers," Sterl McClintick, Victor Viola, Alene Walters, Harold Kugler, Harry Peck, Gordon Londeen, james Childs, Ray Teare, Blanche Payne, Vera Conn, Opal Scott, and Evelyn Stoffer, and in "The Trysting Place," Catherine Gleissner, Edward Gray, Sylvan Sidesinger, Lillian Graff, John Rugh, Cecil Woody, Sterl McClintick.

Beginning early in the year the club's first event was the drawing up of a Constitution and a set of rules which were voted upon and accepted by the club. ln October, there was a Hallowe'en party in the cleverly decorated loft of the Hoffman farm. Much fun was had with games and apple bobbing. The climax of the eve- ning came when a few upper classmen made an unsuccessful attempt to steal the refreshments. At Christmas a party was held in the class room on the last day be- fore the holidays. A beautiful Christmas tree and artistic decorations brought the room and all in it more closely in touch with the season. Gifts were exchanged, creating much fun and amusement. A stocking full of candy and nuts was given to each of the members at the party. The big success of the season was the combination of this club with that of the third hour club for a Valentine party which was held at the Hurd home in February. The evening was spent playing Progressive Hearts. Dainty refreshments were served and clever favors were giveh to each one. And last but not least was another combination of the two clubs for a second breakfast at the park. This was the last party of the year. All enjoyed themselves immensely and after breakfast bid Uadieusl' to each other and a "bon voyage" to their instructor and adviser, Miss Esther Christmore.

Parliamentar Drill Club HE PARLTAMENTARY Drill Club, under the direction of Miss Esther Christmore, was formed in September, IQ28, for the purpose of prac- ticing and understanding better the rules of parliamentary law. On October 23 the constitution was drawn up by a committee consisting of Ed- ward Gray, chairman, Norma Stocking, 'Paul Schmidt. Carl Landis, and Esta Rufener, and adopted by the class. The club elected new officers ev- ery six weeks. The former presidents were, in order of their office, as fol- lows: Raymond Burnworth, Leonard Carney, George Green, and Ruth Cook. The other officers included a vice president, a secretary, and a treas- urer. In order to instruct every member of the club in parliamentary law, the president appointed a different chairman at each meeting to conduct the business. The club was not strictly a school club, as there were two parties, a hike and a breakfast for the recreation and entertainment of the members. The hike was held at Rush's grove in October. The first party was a Christmas party held in class on the last day before the Christmas vacation, at which gifts were exchanged, and candy in novelty containers distributed. The class room was turned into a cozy living room with a fireplace, Christmas tree, candle light, and other decorations which made it unusually attractive. Bits of poetry in keeping with the receiver of gifts were read aloud as each unwrapped his present. The last affair of the year was a breakfast at Brown's park. After boating, hiking, etc., all were ready to enjoy a hearty breakfast of bacon, eggs, buns, and fruit. The club had a total membership of thirty-one members and was spon- sored by llfiss Esther Christmore, English instructor.

"Molly" was directed by Mr. La Velle Hicks of Salina who has di-- rected several minstrels here in the past four years. Mr. Hicks carried his own costumes and scenery with him. The plot opened with Squire Briggs, played by Loren Welliiiaii, re-- minding Ephriam Higgins, Sylvan Sidesinger, of the mortgage that he held on his farm. Molly, as Dorothy Faris, then takes it upon herself to keep the old home place. To do this, she and her mother, Lorna McClerey, decided to make the farm into a summer resort. To this comes the high society from the East -English gentlemen, society dowagers, and their children. Ralph Briggs, John Rugh, helps Molly in her scheme and, of course, in the end falls in love with her. The comedy leads, Sam, played by Ray Toliver, and Percy Augustus Witherspooii, played by La Velle Hicks, were well put on.

Madrigal Club S A REWARD for outstanding vocal talent in music work during the year twenty-one students were elected to membership in the Madrigal Club, an honorary music organization.

Any persons who had won prizes in previous music con- tests and were not members of this yearls glee clubs were also eligible if they possessed the necessary qualifications. The first club was organized four years ago and the idea was popu- lar enough to be re-established this year. To attain membership in this organization served as an incentive to do better musical work, and furn- ished a goal for the students to reach, for only members who had unusual musical talent were accepted. The club entered the Central Kansas League Music Contest at Linds- borg and sang the contest selection "A Day in june" by Dilson. This same number was also sung at the benefit concert in April at the City Audito- rium. The Madrigal Club was one of the first to be organized at the opening of school and has a small, selected membership, To be chosen for a mem- ber of this organization is an honor of which anyone may be proud.

X Q, 0 p, A NYQVE . 5:3345 ,lg Girls' Hockey Team T ITH THE beginning of the second year of hockey, the game was renewed with great in- terest under the direction of Miss Clarice Case. More girls took part this year as a Junior-Senior team was added. The field has been improved and by next year will be in the finest condition. Two tournaments, an in- ter-gyin class and an inter-class one, were held. The Juniors and Seniors were combined into one team because so few of the upper classmen came out for hockey. The Freshmen, under the leadership of Ruth Schiller, played against the Sophomore team, captained by Alineda Black, and lost with a score of K. s. T. C., Emporia, 2-1. They were also defeated by the Junior-Senior team, with a final score of I-0. The Sophomores likewise lost to the Junior-Senior team, but with a close score, 3-I. The teams were well matched, and the Junior-Senior team won only after hard fighting. Dorothy Jensen, Senior. was captain of the victorious junior- Senior team which was proud of its honor. CLARICE CASE Phy. Ed. and Sci. B. S. Each member of the winning team received 100 points in the Girls' Athletic Association, and a small letter. This was a good beginning for the association in Abilene High School, and with each sport entered this year, more members were added. Hockey and baseball have been the only outdoor sports for the gym classes this year, but hockey is to the girls what football is to the boys, and with interest in it increasing each year, it will soon be a leading sport for the girls.

Plans for the field were made by K. S. A. C. students under the general supervision of lllr. F. l.. Huff and space has been provided for most sports. There is space for hand- ball courts, track, football field, baseball court, bleachers, tennis courts, and a hockey field. Six tennis courts and one horseshoe court have been ar- ranged for and all of these are open to the public. A temporary field house will be constructed soon for storage of tennis materials. ln time permanent field and bath houses will be built. The field will now take the place of the old site at the City Park where many athletic bouts have been held in previous years. lt is much closer to the Junior and Senior High Schools, and will prove to be a more conven- ient location in many ways. A large scoreboard, the first one for Abilene High School, is to be placed on the football field by the salesnianship class. A portable telephone which the linesman will carry to keep the scoreboard keeper informed of the plays will also be installed. The purchase of the Athletic Field was due largely to the efforts of the Board of Education in an earnest desire to encourage the advancement of clean athletics. Receipts from athletic contests have increased materially since the pur- chase of the new field. The Athletic department has already paid 35600.00 on the cost of the new fence. 'l ltl ll lc ll Plan of new athletic field open to the public showing: 14--Handball court: 2- track: 3-football fieldg 4-baseball eourt, 5-bleachers, 6ftC11l1lS courts, 74 hockey field. an x G5 5 4439 fe, Aff' TDKTYI e va: vffv , A f J Qs G3 5+ W ,i 'w i it dg.1E3Zgigig511aea1mlg?: gg!

R. AND LITTLE SISTER PARTY Girls pretending to be wickets and acting as balls in a human croquet game was a feature of the annual G. R. Big and Little Sister party Septem- ber II. After many other games, refreshments were served and, al- though refreshments were the most important things to some, the meeting in the auditorium was very important. Here the Girl Reserve Club was explained and all guests were welcomed. SOPHOMORE HIKE Callahan's grove was alive with sophomores September I3 when they arrived for their picnic after school. After playing games, they ate until they could eat no more and then came home. ANNUAL STAFF CARNIVAL With noise and confetti everywhere the Annual Carnival was staged at the High School, October 5. While the "Never Tell Follies" and the G. R. shows were continuously running in the auditorium, the booths in the gym were scooping in the nickels. The Comedy Hat Shop, the Beauty Parlor, and Lucky Radio had stir- ring business. "Miss Abilene" in the Bathing Beauty contest won without a doubt. The Art Gallery showed a great likeness to A. H. S. students and the Freaks of Nature interested all. In the main hall was a Japanese Garden where music was played and refreshments sold. JUNIOR HIKE juniors pepped up all outdoors when they left in cars for a picnic at Rush's Grove October 15. Games of all sorts were played and at six o'clock a supper of hamburgers, doughnuts, and apples was served. FRESHMAN HIKE Right after school, October 24, the Freshmen in overalls and corduroys hiked to Morton's grove northwest of town. After spending an hour tak- ing pictures and playing games each received a sack of food and enjoyed the evening toasting marshmallows and frankfurters over a big fire. STUDENT COUNCIL PARTY The Student Council, which was a new organization this year, had a party March 25, 1929. A dinner was served at the Tip Top Cafe.

Society JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET In a beautiful improvised garden, surrounded by a well designed gray stone fence and a modernistic rainbow colored lattice. canopied by blue sky and flaky white clouds, the Junior-Senior reception was held April 25, 1929. in the City Auditorium. This most important high school function was carried out in a clever, unique manner. The theme of Mother Goose was artistically represented in the table decorations, the costumes of the wait- resses, and in the toasts and musical numbers of the program. Morris Beamer, president of the Junior class, spoke first and then in- troduced the following for toasts: Mary Olive Forney, Henry Smith, Mr. M. R. Gray, and Miss Opal McPhail. A violin selection was given by Flor- ence Stewart, Ruth Cook, and Phyllis Farrar, accompanied by Maxine Hoop- er. Dorothy Faris and Leonard Carney sang "Boy Blue Blues." A doll dance was given by Helen Haberman and Charlene Schiveley. During the dinner Jack Phillips' orchestra played.

MOTHER-DAUGHTER BANQUET Members of the Girl Reserves entertained their mothers at the annual Mother-Daughter banquet May 7, 1929, in the Methodist church. Blue and white were the colors carried out in the affair. After the dinner the new officers of the coming year were installed. SENIOR SPREAD "Trains" was the theme of the Senior Spread which was held in the high school, May Io, 1929.

SENIOR HIKE Seniors gaily left town on their all-day picnic, May 20, 1929. Here much fun and food was enjoyed. This was one of the last times the whole class of '29 was together. r 'Vcc 5 gr ORANGE AND BROWN Q21 i Class Prophecy By RUDOLPH WEYANT T WAS EARLY spring in I96S,iVVl1CH I bought a paper in Detroit, that the headlines carried these words, "Snider nominated by Democrats for President. Henry Smith, governor of Kansas, placed Snider in nom- ination." This gave me an idea-why not trace every member of my class, and see what success had come to them in the many years passed. I had early amassed my fortune, so I immediately ordered a taxi, driv- en by Loris Reed who is now married to Emma Long. I chartered a plane at the airport and in the cockpit sat Bill VVhitehead. Clay White and Har- old Wick were working about the port at odd jobs. ln Kansas City, I met Shelton, who was working as head bell boy in the hotel. Later I went to the theatre. The Class of '29 had certainly tak- en to theatre life, for at the ticket window sat Lucile Baier. Clementine. Martha, Doris, and Leota were all ushers in the place. Clara was organist in the theatre. "Peg" Bacon was the little Chinese girl in "The Green Dragon Emerald." H Un the train were Toliver and Morrison. "Beer" had bought out Strow- wig and "Butch" was running Shearer's Shoe Store. Morrison had married Dorothy May Green, but Toliver had remained a bachelor. Taking a street car in Abilene, which had become a metropolis, I saw Carlos Shaffer, conductor. Verl Shaffer owns a farm near the city. Rainey. De Haven, the Scott Brothers, Butterfield, and McBeth were also working for the railway. Daisy Sweigart owns a chain of lunch stands. Victor Viola was manager of the "Little bit of everything and nothing much of anything" store. Howard Marshall was mayor, and running an insurance business. Perry Stark was a "movie man" working for Axhelm. Maurine Shawhan and Stense Nelson were editing the Reflector. Deane Duffy was vice president of the Farmers National Bank. Teare, Woolverton, Garten, Koby, and Kugler are the farmers. C. W. Taylor has become Deane's father-in-law. Arthur I-laugh is superintendent of Abilene Schools, and Dorothy Jenson is in charge of physical training for girls. Madaus has a soft job at Belle Springs making butter. Kathryn is married and her name is Sexton. Edith and Myrtle have entered the Old Folks' Home. Elsbeth is waiting for "Hank" to graduate so they can be married. Harry Peck is a bigger man every day-mentally, not physically. Genevieve, Edith, Lillie, Mary Emma, Beatrice, Lucile, Helen, and Blanche are all wives of deserving husbands. Orpha, Marie, Lois, Arline, Estella, and Evelyn are working for the United. Berger is behind the bars, working as assistant porter in the Abilene National Bank. "Jimmy" Childs is a captain in the Salvation Army and Beulah Brown is his good wife. Cheney, Chase, Cooley, Wellman, Course, and Tudor haven't decided what kind of work they want to take up yet. Cahill, Larson, and Kauffman are the men about town. Hazel Chrisco is married and so is Don Jolleye. Marie Roemer is president of the Women's Federated Clubs of America. She intends to block the election of Fred Snider because he stands for "Wine, Women, and Whoopeef' One day I ran across Jack Worley, he told me that Miss Reel had been married to him and several other men, but was still looking for a perfect mate. My quest was now completed. The Class of '29 had taken its place well in the world of men, and with this completion, there came a feeling of sat- isfaction and contentment which I had long been seeking. it 4' 1 ,x- '- ,1::i,:..4.....:.a.,..,....-...4...,.........- .,..L..ZL...-,.:i....,....:...,.4........,.,......,.l.........Y,Ll.fZ'Lx fits M . .....-...?f,Q-.vJff'. rr-1:-1 Ax nf-.

To the Sophomores we leave Freshman dates, and that old charging spirit of progress, which has put us ahead so-far in scholastics. To the Freshmen we leave the idea that you can whip anything with numbers. To Principal Gray we leave his back lectures which we have not taken with us and the height of his glory-six feet, six inches. To the janitors we leave the ink spotted halls of fame and maybe a few name-plated lockers. To Loretta, Van, and Miss Case we leave those sore toes from the Junior-Senior dance. UNSALABLE PROPERTY Maurine Shawhan wills to john Deiter six feet of her best height. George L. Green wishes to give Cleason Minter his hero role in Miss Christmore's Dramatic Class plays. Vera Koch leaves "Wid" for "Nobody," but gives Dorothy Faris her marvelous acting ability. "Beer" Toliver hands down his hot dates and late hours to "Speedy" Brightbill. Peggy Bacon's emotional recipe will be fostered by Clara Hout. Henry Smith leaves his bent for "flowery speech" to James Guion. "Red" Marshall reserves all rights to his "Kean" edge. Vic leaves "his" store management to "Toots." "Jimmy" Childs leaves his permanent to Carl Bath. The personality with an athletic limp leaves his place to Edward Gray. "Ossie" Gunzelman leaves the jug out in the hay mow to Dale Lanning.. Harold Kugler leaves little Ruth to Vernon Higgs, trusting that Vernon will treat her kindly. Lucille Kessinger leaves her "Strut" for "Nook" Graff to develop. Harry Peck leaves his cornetist ability to Leonard Carney. Katherine Reel leaves her ability to catch stragglers to Francis Kehler. "Rudy" Weyant leaves his loving technique to john Case. Dean Duffy leaves his "Coon" hunts to Wayne Londeen. Martha Redfield leaves her heavy dates to Nannie Gump. . Guy Koby, Kenneth Madaus, and "Butch" Morrison leave their two cubes for Cocky Sexton to take care of in his loneliness in the coming years. Clay White has chosen Bill Gemmill as the heir to any one or all fifteen of his new steps learned at the Solomon dances. "Daisy" Sweigart leaves some hard buns and a pair of dilapidated trousers for Cecil Madaus when he becomes the chef. John Kauffman's last words are "Give the once slivered office seat, now worn smooth from four years of hard wear, to my only competitor, Miss Helen Lay."
