Youths come seeking in the halls of A. H. S. rare treasures which have been buried by sue- cessful adventures of the past. They bring to light treasures of science, music, art, and liter- ature, and these jewels of knowl- edge, others of power, and of beauty, sterling character, and golden friendships, are linked to- gether by golden chains, with each link so fine and strong that the whole will endure forever. Memories which will illumine our lives are each day added to our treasure store, and so, to make this, the 1932 Orange and Brown, an invaluable gem is OUR PURP 'K . 3 . .. . , , .. P. 5 1:2 .

Student C HE STUDENT Council, student governing body of the Abilene High School, held the inauguration of officers for the year 1931-32, May 12, 1931. Those given the oath of of- fice were: President. John Dieterg vice-presi- dent, William Greeng secretary-treasurer, Al- fred Makins. The purpose of this organization is to pro- mote in all ways the best interest of the school, to aid the internal adminlstrationjof the school, to foster sentiments of lawi and order. to promote the general activities of the school, and to develop in the student a grow- ing appreciation of membership in a democ- racy by providing educational possibilities and privileges of participating in such a dem- ocracy in the school. This year's outstanding accomplishments included the furtherment and betterment of the student activity ticket plan. the mainten- ance of the lost and found department, aid in the prevention of stealing by compelling all locke1's to be locked. and the supervision of the making and disbursement of the charters for all the organizations within the school. The Student Council also included the Jun- ouncil ior play on the activity ticket: entered a school float in the Dickinson County Free Fair: gave entertainment between the halves of all home football gamesg supervised the making of several copies of the counci1's con- stitution to send to those schools who re- quested it. and sponsored many interesting chapels throughout the year. On October 23 and 24 Jean Rogers, Lois Welsh, John Dieter and Miss Morley, head sponsor of the organization, represented the Abilene Student Council at a meeting of the Missouri Valley Federation of Student Coun- cils held in Topeka. Several committees functioned throughout the year in the organization. These commit- tees were required to hand in written reports of their procedings at the close of each se- mester. The social gatherings of the club included a picnic and an annual spring banquet held at the Callahan Tea Room. followed by a line party at the Lyric Theatre. Miss Esther Turvey and Mr. Van Osdol were also sponsors of the organization. 0 1 Senior Class History MARILYN FRITZ l-IRE I A DARK-HAIRICIJ Pirate queen with haunting eyes and tea-rose com- plexion, for a small piece of silver I would gladly dis:-lose the future. Though I have not the gift of prophecy. I ani inclined to reverie. For just a few moments of your time I shall trace for you the path of the largest band of pirate youths who have traversed the halls of A. H. S. The events of their first year 011 the high seas were a get-acquainted hike at Morton's grove and a chapel program on Kansas Day. They began anew their journey as Sopho- mores with a hike at Murphys grove. An appropriate Thanksgiving program was given in November. A deviation from the serious was a ring toss at the annual carnival, where- by the skillful found their fortunes. The next year they changed the style of the class rings and chose the Cowboys head as their insignia. 1,11 November 20, 1930, the annual Junior play, "The Arrival of Kitty." was given. They bade farewell to the Sen- iors, whose Caravan had guided them ill their journey, with a banquet in an Egyptian tem- ple. At last, they neared the climax of the jour- ney with glad hearts. They conducted the Christmas chapel. as has been the usual cus- tom. In March. fifteen of the band were chos- en as members of the Abilene Chapter of the National Honor Society. and twelve members were elected to the National Quill and Scroll Society. The Senior play, "Smilin' Through," was presented April 22. But when they reached the last semester and were guests of the Junior class at a ban- quet prepared for them as a farewell, there was a hint of sadness. The all-day picnic, and the Alumni banquet. were final climaxes of pleasure. The leaders of this last year were: Deloss Iiomine. president, Claude Coleman, vice-pres- identg Clyde Harris, seeretaryg Vernon Stev- ens. l1'BilSlll'6l'Q Melvin Martin and Alma Chase. Student Council representatives. Misses Marjorie Taylor, Esther Turvey, WVinnie Scott, Esther Cliristmore, and Mr. J. Earl Endacott were sponsors of the class. And the caravan of pirates still goes on in quest of varied treasurers. But the vagrant thought of the band shall return as haunting memories and in firelight glow each will often rebuild the scenes of High School days. x 0 f BERNEITA ALTMAN Professional Attended school in Salina my Freshman year, In Abi- lene I was in the Operetta 35 hockey 2-3-45 baseball 2-3-45 Annual and Booster staffs5 G.

H. S. Treasure Chest. Our officers for this year are: President. Alden Carney: vieerpresidelit. Max Beamer: secretary. .lane Case: and treasurer. Virginia lflmig, Besides the class officers which we elected for our Junior year. we were represented in the Student Council by William Gragg and Ruth Fengel. Our able sponsors were Miss Thelma Nelson. Mrs. Genevieve Andrews, Miss Ethel Giles. Mr. Fred Allison. and Mrs. A. E. Jones. Our first social event of the year was a very enjoyable picnic in the form of a modern hay ride. XVe again changed the pattern of the class rings. the form now being a handsome ring bearing the new seal of the school and having an green and black enamel background. XVe presented as our Junior play this year. "The Importance of Being Ernest." a very entertaining and amusing play with princi- pal parts portrayed by Mickle Menzie. Jane Vase. Thalne Engle. and XVilliam Gragg. This year we were also permitted to be the 0 first class to hold our most' important social event of the year at the new Sunflower Hotel. This. our Junior-Senior Reception, was held on April 8. Tlirougliout the entire year members of our 4-lass represented the school in various im- portant activities. Several of our classmen were active in the Operetta a11d Senior play interludes. Adah Carol Stocking placed first in the poetry division of a contest sponsored by the Journalism department. William Gragg represented the school in oratory. Besides these activities, several members of our class represented our school in the C. K. L. music contest, and last, but not least. we were well represented in football, basketball, and track. Our final activity of the year was our usual sketch which we presented on class night. Now, as wc, with deep regret say goodbye to the Seniors of 1932. we are accepting fl great responsibility, NVe must be the leaders of this school for the following year.

At times our speed was slackened by great breakers, but we hope to be carried on to a successful landing two years from now. There were one hundred thirty-three in our little crew this second year. Some were un- able to continue the search. Occasionally o11e or two were picked up from some ship- wreck and added to our crew. For captain or president of our crew we elected Dean Issitt: first niate or vice-president. Gwendolyn Ro- mine: log keeper or secretary, Margaret VVhitehairg purser or treasurer, Herbert Meuli: and for first and second lieutenants or student council representatives, Jeanne Rogers and Donald Dieter. The finding of precious jewels of English. Latin, geometry, also sportsmanship and companionship, was an incentive to us to con- tinue our search. Other things that encouraged us greatly were the recreations we had. First we took a deck stroll to Baer's Grove. VVQ played games and enjoyed ourselves immense- ly. Our radio was a great pleasure to us. It brought us many interesting reports. While listening in we heard the report of the Abi- lene-Ellsworth football game and the great success our representatives had in selling hot dogs, candy bars, and gum. WVe also heard the Abilene-Herington basketball game and that our representatives sold candy and Es- kimo pics. Then in the spring We took anoth- er stroll on deck. Perhaps the thing longest to be remembered was the night we all gathered in the lounge and saw the stunt that a few of the crew patomimed for us. All of our little gatherings served to break up the ordinary routine of the search. Perhaps the greatest stimulation we had on our search was the encouragement of our guardians of the deep, who at times gave us much aid. Under their careful guidance we are now ready to enter our Junior year. Our guar- dians for this year were: Miss Lorene Rey- nolds, Miss Mabel Pinson, Miss Leona Gris- wold, and Mr. Paul Collins.

H. S. As the days grew shorter and then again longer. the little jewels began to display iridescent shades as was becoming to them. and also fitting to show their readiness to be advanced. Under the worthy sponsorship of Miss Neva IVeisgerber, Miss Margaret Scott, Miss Vera Stcininger and Mr. Roy Martin. we were carried safely to the Sophomore shore losing: o11ly a few of our members on the way. and finding a few who had strayed to replace them. At the first class meeting held early in the fall, Vaughn Ayers was elected presi- dent, Lucille Holmes, vice-president: Doro- thy Buchanan, secretary: XVayne Zook. treas- urer: and Peggy Morse and .lohn Gleissner, Student Council representatives. In brilliancy of minds, we tied first place on the Ilonor Roll with the Sophomores as our only competitors. Our brilliant hues were prominent in both girls' and boys' athletics and all other school activities. Our talented troupe furnished much valuable material in Debate. Oration, Declamation, Glee l'lub, girls' basketball and hockey. football: boys' basket- ball and track, showing that the future of the school is in capable hands. XVe also have participated in such clubs as are open to us. Late in the fall, we held our Freshman hike at Baer's Grove. Different means of trans- portation were provided by the classmen. Games were played and a car wreck was fea- tured for additional excitement. Although some were badly used during Freshman IVeek. we managed to survive the strain. l4lV9I'yfllIIlg' considered, both the up- perclassmen and the Freshmen enjoyed them- selves. Class night, a clever one-act play was pre- sented by members of the class having the most dramatic ability and was approved of and enjoyed by all present. FOURTH ROW!

NOWLEDGE - CHARACTER - Friend- ship-these, likened unto precious jewels, the most valuable treasures any student could ever hope to possess. are found within the treasure vault of Ab i l 9 I1 6 High ' , School. , S This h u g e Q treasure vault, ul ' our golden cas- Migefifu, ket. was erected ' ,'-Q" - during the year f Q 1919, and since v' , V that time has 6" 4 . sy' been the center ' -0' of civic interest with its courses of study, student organizations. departmental clubs, athletics, music, drama, etc., which have forced it to grow into this lively, ambitious, self-approv- ing institution of 1932. This golden casket at the present time con- tains more than 500 gems, each one diligent- ly striving to sparkle and shine out more brilliantly than the others. Upon entering A. H. S. one has the oppor- tunity to pursue any one' of the six valuable courses offered. They are: Professional. which prepares the student for college: Corn- inercial, which trains the student for a busi- ness life after graduationg Home Economics. which trains the girls for domestic duties of their future livesg Industrial Arts. which de- velops the amateur skills carried on in the Manual Training departmentg Vocational Ai:- riculture, which includes the actual experience in the everyday problems of farmersg and the General course, which includes a variety of subjects, and which one takes only to study the subjects he is most particularly interested in. As ever onward we seek through the golden days of our high school life, we become more familiar with the valuable departments in our institution. Our language department consists of three years of Latin and two of German. The pur- pose of this department is to give the students a more thorough knowledge of the ancient civ- ilization upon which his own is founded, and to give a greater appreciation of one's own language, which is derived from both Latin and German. The Physical Science department is a great aid to all students, in that it gives them the fundamental laws of nature, and aids the stu- dents to do better things in life if they so wish. This includes Chemistry, Physics, Physical Geography, and General Science. Our History department makes history ap- x O pear as a silver chain, the links having been forged one by one from the past of our na- tional life. Many exceptional opportunities are given to girls in the Home Economics department which develops in the girls an understanding of the principles of those things essential to home life. Likewise the boys are given their chance in the Manual Training department to develop their skill in the use of tools that will enable them to do ordinary repair work, read blue prints, and estimate the value of Work done by a worker of wood. Valuable formation and actual experience in the everyday prob- lems of farmers is given the boys of the Agri- culture department. Many valuable and in- teresting projects are worked out during this four-year course. Perhaps of greatest importance is the Eng- lish department which specializes in four dif- ferent phases of English-English and Amer- ican Literatureg oral and written composition: drill on grammar fundamentals, creative work expressed in Journalism, and development of personalities in the public speaking course. A new method was worked out in which every student taking English would be required to divide his year into four parts and take nine weeks of each phase. The Library in the Study Hall is extensive- ly important in that it contributes to all phases of school life and aids many in self- education. The Commercial department is the most popular. Through this department an inter- esting business life is developed. The objec- tive of the commercial course is to train and qualify students for business or stenographic positions. Other important departments are the Art department, which develops appreciation of the beautiful, and creates artistic tastes: the Instrumental and Vocal departments of mu- sic which work together in order to aid the talented student to further his musical abil- ities, and to give all an appreciation of good music. Then lastly, but not least, comes the Physical Education department in which both boys and girls are required to take a two years' course in physical training. It is through this training that better sportsman- ship. higher ideals, and stronger characters are developed. Thus. the valuable characters and precious friendships are also formed by the outstand- ing scholastic and social events in which we participate, the various school activities which function during the year. and our every day associations with the many different students in A. H. S. We have pursued and discovered-and now we can live happily over the past precious memories which have inevitably accumulated. X Q---Y THIRD ROW: Al.man, Blaesi, Bowersox, Buchanan, Dieter.

National Honor Society IFTICIGN STUDENTS of the Senior class were chose11 for the National Honor Soci- ely by Principal Charles Ifl. Hawkes and four members of the faculty. These students were chosen from the upper third of the class for their scholarship, service to the school, qual- ities of leadership, and character. At the meeting of March 1, the following officers were elected: President. Vernon Stov- cnsg vice-president, Hannah Merrillg secre- tary. Ruth Schiller: treasurer, Berneitn Alt- man. "Scholarship is the power of the mind to dispel ignorance :ind superstition through sci- entific investigation of truth." "Leadership is the power of personality that blazes the trail for IlJ21l1'S upwa1'd climb." "Character, the composite of all the com- mon virtues, sets the seal of righteousness upon our every endeavor." "Service is the beginning and end of our education." The first scholarship honor society for sec- ondary schools, Phi Beta Sigma, was founded in 1900 by the late Dr. William B. Owen. Abilene High School made application for membership, and charter No. 674 was granted to us January 24, 1932. From this was devel- oped our present National Honor Society with chapters in the principal cities of the l'nitod States. The motto is, "Light Is the Symbol of Truth." The colors of the orgniiizntion. blue and flame yellow. make this motto even clearer. Blue is the symbol of tl1e truth within. born of surity of thought. The yellow of the flame symbolizes light with which truth radiates the world. Initiation was held Tuesday, March 15, in the Presbyteriaii church. The service was presided over by Principal Hawkes. Mr. Mar- till acted as secretary, and a number of alum- 11i members took part. After being fully ini- tiated, the new members received the emblem of the society, which is the keystone and the flaming torch. The speaker of the evening was Mr. R. B. Laing, of Abilene. The tables were very appropriately decor- ated, the nut cups being so made as to repre- sent graduates in their caps and gowns. In their hands, they held a scroll, representing the diploma, which contained the names of the students eligible for initiation. x 0 1 11- THIRD ROW: Altxnan, Dieter, Buchanan, Romine.

It was composed of approximately one hundred seventy members and four sponsors. The purpose of the organization was to pro- mote Christian living among the girls, to raise the physical, social, mental and moral standards of the school: and to prepare the members for a life service. Through posters and bi-monthly programs the theme. "Sails," was successfully enforced throughout the year. The happy voyage began with the Big and Little Sister party. The club later co-operat- ed with the Y. W. C. A. in giving a tea for the mothers who were interested in their work. At Christmas time the annual G. R.-Hi-Y White Gift chapel was again presented. Carols were sung to keep up with the spirit of the season, and just before the holidays each member was given a lolypop doll as a Christ- mas present from the organization, to store away with all other treasures acquired during the year. Community week was a new feature intro- duced this year. During this week special events were planned, including the Sunday on which all members attended church in a body. A special G. R. window was on dis- play at Case's. Other important events included a birthday party in which the fiftieth anniversary of the Girl Reserve movement was celebrated, the Easter carols which were sung to the 'tShut- ins" on Easter morning, the Shipmate and Dad and Daughter party, and last, but not least. the annual Mother-Daughter banquet which was held as a final event at the close of the year.

Debate HE DEBATE SEASON for this year closed with the Central Kansas League tourna- ment held at Abilene, Ifobruary 20, The question debated throughout the state this year was, Resolved: That the several states should adopt legislation providing for compulsory uneniploynient insurance. Abilene had a most successful season in de- bate this year. In October a contest was held and a squad of ten was chosen. Each mem- ber of this squad participated in several de- bates throughout the season. Other than con- testing against many adjacent schools and literary societies, seven members of the squad entered the debate tournament at Lawrence in December, where they gained very valu- able experience. Preliminary debates were held at Chronis- ter, Sand Springs, Holland, Industry, Milton- vale, Concordia, Clay Center, and Enter- prlse. The first squad of ten included Donald Die- ter, Hazel Huston, YVilliam Gragg, and Bruce Xexnechek in addition to those who were re- tained throughout the season, Instead of the customary two teams, a fi- nal squad of six was selected in January. This squad participated in the remainder of the de- bates for the season. The final squad was, Marie Buchanan, Nelva I. Horner, John Die- ter, NVillian1 Green, Deloss Iiomine, and Ver- non Stevens. Abilene placed second in the Central Kan- sas League tournament. Our affirmative team lost to Salina's negative team in the fi- nals, giving Abilene second in the league. Declamation, Oration ILLIAM GRAGG represented us in the Kansas City Star oratorical contest and the Central Kansas League contest. The Kan- sas City Star tlratorical contest was held at Abilene on March 16. Gragg won first place, which entitled hiin to enter the district ora- torical contest at Herington. Our representa- tive placed second in the district. Phil Brainwell of Belleville won the Star contest at Kansas City and was the represent- ative of this district in the national contest. The Central Kansas League contest was held at Herington on April 21. Ellsworth placed first and Abilene second. The sub- ject of William Gragg's oration Was, "Our Constitution and Future Democracy." In the oratorical contest which determined the Abilene representative,' Jeannette Brown- ing. Eugene Dawson, Bruce Nemechek, and XVillia1n Gragg took part. Declaination contestants from which the Central Kansas League representative was selected, were Jack Nelson, Iola Meier, Marie Buchanan, and Nelva Horner. Our representative in the Central Kansas League contest in declamation was Jack Nel- son. The contest was held at Herington in connection with the oratorical contest. Nelson placed fourth with his reading entitled "The Only Child." Much of the success of our two representa- tives is due to the efforts of Esther Christ- inore who coached Jack Nelson, and Kenneth Rock who trained William Gragg. Mr. Rock also coached debate. Through the efforts of these two sponsors We were able to add points toward the sweepstakes CHD. 0 X -.q,--- SECOND ROW: Keel, Graff, Allen, Gragg, Case. FIRST HOW: Baer, Engle, Menzie, Beamer.

""' Operetta HE HIGH SCHOOL Operetta, "Valentien," a two-act musical review, was presented December 4 at the City Auditorium at 8:15. It was a presentation of the music depart- ment under the direction of Miss Leona Gris- Wold. The lnusic included some chorus and solo numbers taken from the opera "Faust" The first act took place in Germany in the seventeenth century, just before a war. Val- entien, portrayed by Loy Leffingwell, and Rupert, Marvin Rasher, are two officers who are leaving for the front. Marguerite, Gladys Scott, a peasant girl, and also Valentien's fiancee, does not regret seeing Valentien leave, as her interests have been elsewhere in the few weeks previous. Elaine, Lily Johnson, Rupert's financee, was very sorrowful at his departure. Frank By- num, as the "fickle Englishmanf, Siebal, too dignified to fight, took care of the ladies in the absence of their lovers. Nadine Wells, captain of the Fair, directed the rehearsal, celebrating the return of the soldiers. First maiden of the chorus was Willmith Scott, first youth, Alden Carney. The second act started with two dancing X... . couples, Pierrette, Io11a May Morrison, Pierrot, Harry VVoodburyg Nanette and Phillipe, Joanne Rogers and Glen Simmons. Tom and the Squire were played by Donald Dieter and Jack Nelson. The Egyptian girl was Mickle Menzie: trumpeter and messenger, Percy Kel- ler. This act took place after the war ended.. In this act, the soldier boys returned to their sweethearts with the exception of Ru- pert, who had been killed at the front. He was bemoaned by his fiancee, Elaine. Mar- kuerite welcomed Valentien with open arms, much changed in her attitude since the war. After a joyful meeting, they journeyed to the fair prepared in their honor. Miss Margaret Scott had charge of cos- tumes, which were typical of the Germans at that period. Miss .Iuanda Hawkins had charge of the dances, which were put on by the Physical Education classes. They also put on the interlude between acts. Mr. Harold George directed the high school orchestra which gave a prelude. Irene WVi1more had charge of the ticket sale. Eleanor Weller, ac- companied by violin music by Lennice Jean Baer, was accompanist for the production. O ag is if THIRD ROW1 Page, Gump, Fritz, Chain, R. Schiller, 'Goodwin, K. Schiller.

Many new features were decided upon for this yearbook. Changes were lnadv in tho snapshot, calendar. and society pages. For the first time in the history of the Orange and Brown the Juniors were given the privilege of having their individual pictures in their class section rather than the customary group pic- ture. The feature sentence u11der each Sen- ior's picture was also dispensed with, and a change was made ill the form of individual write-ups. The Orange and Brown was entered in one state and one national contest. The contests were the Kansas State College contest and the National Scholastic Press Association con- test. This year the underclassmen were given a chance to buy their annuals in twenty-five cent installments per month. The seniors were allowed to buy their annuals in one dollar in- stallments.

Booster HE ABILENE HIGH School Booster, spon- sored by Miss Miriam Dexter, has endeav- ored throughout the year to co-operate in ev- ery way with the students and faculty. to raise the literary and scholastic standards of the school, and to stimulate sportsmanship and true school spirit. This year various members of the journal- ism class acted as editors of the Booster. Ar- lene Page and Hannah Merrill were alternate editors for the first semester. During the second semester, the following persons were editors of the various editions: Phyllis Dent- zer, Vernon Stevens. and Marie Buchanan. .Iohn Dieter was editor of the boys' edition and Berneita Altman was editor of the girls, edition.

This class was allowed to put out one issue of the Booster before the end of the year. Alice Hees and Bruce Merrill were assignment editors. Members of the journalism class entered papers in two Quill and Scroll contests. In the first contest, Vernon Stevens placed thi1'd in the south central states on his news story. and .Iohn Dieter placed third in the same area on his editorial. and received honorable men- tion on the vocabulary test, He also received honorable mention on his advertisement.

A large group of girls was out for this activity, but no tourna- ment but the color team tournament was played. Miss Hawkins also took her gym classes to the school tennis courts for some instruction in this sport, but no meet was held, either be- tween the classes or out-of-town teams.

Football Squad BILI-lNI'l'S 1931 football season was nol outstanding in respect to the Ill'llIllJ61' of games won. or their final standing in the Cen- tral Kansas League. but other factors entered in which made the season worthwhile. Valu- able training was received by all players which will contribute to a better fl-Ftllll in the following years. ' Tl1e first day of school. a call was put in for football players. Some forty prospects turned out for practice, none of whom were returning lettermen. .Around a good number of returning let- termen. Van built a team piloted by Uaptain Harry Jones. which was popularly thought "as good as any." but were at a disadvant- age in getting those elusive things called 'tbreaksf' A The first game of the sea- son was with the Alumni team. consisting of past A. H. S. stars. In this game the high school team was out- weighed by about twenty-five pounds on the average by the ex-stars. and were beaten by a score of 14-6. In the first league game of the season. Abilene played Herington and was held to a 7-T tie. Next on the Central Kansas League program came the Ellsworth game. In this game the Cowboys battled the Bearcats to a 14-0 victory for the Cowboys. This game was the first game that Abi- lene played up to their form X this season. Next came a non-league game with the Junction City Bluznlays, i11 which the Uowboys emerged again as tl1e victor by a score of 26-7. Other games of the season were Chapman. Abilene losing by S-05 bICl'll0l'S0ll, Abilene losing by a 14-13 score. Another defeat for the Abilene Cowboys came in the game with B.lC1'llPl'S0ll. The game was a close. hard fought one. It was no game to bet on. as first one team and then the other seemed to have the best chance of winning. Mr-l'herson made a score of 14. making their final touchdown in the third quarter. while the Abilene Cowboys could only run up a score of 13, thus losing by a score of 14-13. The annual Armistice Day football game with tlhapman turned out t0 be a thorn ill Abilene's side. The score. 8-0 in favor of the Irish. ln the last game of the sea- son or the usual "Turkey Day" game with Salina, the Gow- boys overcame the odds of playing a better rated team on their home field, and beat the team leading the Central Kan- sas League. 111 this game the Cowboys played true to form and at last got their portion of the breaks. The heavier Salina team was outplayed throughout all the game by the Cowboys. This upset of Salinafs by the Cowboys lost them undis- puted first place, leaving COACH MARVIN VAN OSDOL them tied with Chapman.

Basketball Squad T THE BEGINNING of basketball season. an interclass tournament was held to de- termine the most promising players. These, making up both the first and second teams, started practice immediately. VVith no re- turning lettermen, Coach Van Osdol built up a team that showed the rest of the Central Kansas League teams plenty of competition. It held up well until the last of the season when they lost their last three games, leaving them in fourth place in the Central Kansas League race. In the coming basketball sea- son. a more experienced team is expected, as only two men graduated. Starting the Central Kansas League sched- ule of games, the Cowboys played the Chap- man Irish. displaying the best brand of bas- ketball they had played so far that season. The Cowboys emerged victor- ious by a score of 25-18. In the second league game, the Cowboys met the Hering- ton Railroaders. The game was close but the Cowboys pulled out with a win over Herington by a close score of 15-13. With two wins in the Cen- tral Kansas League race, the Abilene Cowboys played Mc- Pherson. The score was against the Cowboys the whole game. In the final quar- ter it looked for a while as if Abilene might win, but the Bulldogs tightened up their defense, and the game ended 14-9 in favor of McPherson. Leading the Salina team throughout the first half, the X FLOYD CURRIER Cowboys slacked up in the last half and the Salina Maroons forged ahead to win by a score of 30-29, This was one of those close. hard fought games in which the last goal wins. Salina getting this last and deciding goal. XVith a standing of two victories and two losses. the Cowboys entered the Chapman game with blood in their eyes. Their deter- mination seemed to take effect. and they out- playcd the Chapman Irish. winning by a score of 20-16. The second Horington game was a slow game. bringing at 28-1-l victory for Abilene. Overcolniiig the odds when playing the Lindsborg Vikings, Abilene forged ahead to a two point lead, winning by a score of 14-12. As il result of the Lindsborg game Abilene was tied for second place in the Central Kansas League. The Cowboys entered the Ells- worth game with a desire to win. and come out of the game victorious with a 26-18 vic- tory. Making the winning point on a foul after the game was over, McPherson beat the Cowboys for their ninth suc- cessive victory with a 14-15 score. After fighting a hard battle with the Salina Maroons, Ab- ilene went home on the short end of a 24-20 defeat. ' The last two games of the season the Cowboys lost to Lindsborg and Ellsworth, end- ing the season in fourth place in the Central Kansas League.

Tennis and Golf ENNIS IS THE next to final Central Kan- sas League event. Several likely tennis players reported for tennis tryouts on the high school courts. An elimination contest was held and the four best were to play in the ventral Kansas League tournament. A prac- tice match was held with Salina in which Alu- lene was defeated. On May 4, the Central Kansas League tournament was held at Lindsborg. Abilene placed fourth in boys' doubles and fifth in boys, singles. Salina won first in both doubles and singlesg Ells- worth took secondg Lindsborg took third, and Abilene, llhapman' and McPherson tied for fourth place, The squad consisted of four new men this year, They were: Ralph Gam- ber. Bruce Merrill, Robert Casanova, and John Dieter. Three new clay courts are being fixed up at the athletic field and as soon as they are worked flown into shape, they will make very good courts to play on. The three north courts are still gravel and they are in better condition than they were last year. The annual golf tournament was held at the Country Club to determine who was to rep- resent Abilene in the Central Kansas League tournament. The representatives were John and Donald Dieter. The tournament was held on the Chapman Country Club course. Two dual meets were held with Salina this year, Abilene losing both times. A new method was used in the meet this year. Both players had to count their strokes together for the final score. The Cowboys fin- ished in third position, coming in with a to- tal of 181. Salina was first with a total of 176, and Herington was second with 178. Other positions were claimed in order by Liudsborg. Chapman, McPherson, and Ells- worth. For the first time in years, Abilene did not have an ent1'y in the Central Kansas League track and field meet which was held in Sa- lina, Saturday, May 7. Few boys turned out for this sport. A few steady men re- ported for practice, but not enough to make it worth while to waste time on track. Sev- eral requests were received by Mr, Marvin Van Osdol to turn his energies to baseball rather than track. A meeting of all the boys was held and a vote was taken on their choice of continuing track, or dropping it al- together and adopting baseball. The result was that track was discontinued and baseball took its place. A very good team was expected as quite a few of the boys had had previous experience in the Twilight League and on oth- er teams. Practice was held every night, ei- ther at the athletic field or the city park. A game was scheduled with Salina at Salina on May 4. Abilene was defeated. Several oth' er games were scheduled for the rest of the school yea1'. All considered. minor sports were fairly successful this yearg and the greatest value received was the interest which was aroused in the under classmen in these sports. Junior High is beginning to conduct tournaments in most of the minor sports, this gives the boys a groundwork in which to build for future at- tainments. It is observed that more candidates tried out for the various sports this year than ever before and while the majority of the team members were upperclassmen, there are numerous Sophomores and Freshmen who barely failed who will be back to carry on in the future. Next year's prospects in Tennis, Golf, and Baseball appear exceedingly bright. A number of lettermen will return, and the interest de- veloped this year will be increased. x 0 .ef Calendar N THIS LAST section are recorded the deeds and accomplishments of our debaters, ac- tors, athletes, and journalists.
