Officers for 1932-33 al-eg H0Wa1'f1 Myers, Dresidentg Vivian Stevens, vice-presidentg and Robert Nottorf, secretary-treasurer. The purpose of this organization is to promote in all ways the best interest of the school, to aid the internal administration of the school, to foster sentiments of law and order, to promote the general activities of the school, andeto develop in the student a growing appreciation of membership in a democracy by providing educational pos- sibilities and privileges of participating in such a democ- racy in the school. This year's outstanding accomplishments include the improvement of the student activity ticket. This year it was reduced in price from three dollars to two dollars and fifty cents. There were also more things included on the tickets, both the junior and senior plays and more bas- ketball games than usual. It likewise sponsored the lost and found box and aided in the prevention of stealing by compelling all lockers to be locked. Each day some per- son was sent around to see if the lockers were closed, and this thorough checking proved quite successful. The Student. Council entered a school float in the Dick- inson County Free Fair, gave entertainment between the halves of all home football gamesg and it supervised and sponsored many interesting chapels throughout the year. They made possible exchange chapels with Her- ington and Clay Center high schools, The glee club went to Herington and gave the chapel, and in exchange, on February 3, the Herington music department gave a very enjoyable vocal program here. Then, on March 21, the Abilene orchestra, directed by Mr. Harold George, went to Clay Center for the exchange chapel. Clay Center returned the chapel later, presenting several members of their dramatic department in songs and readings. Several committees functioned steadily throughout the year in this organization. These committees were re- quired to hand in written reports and also give oral re- Oflicers MYERS, President. STEVENS, Vice-President.

The chairman of these committees wore: Ruth Fengel, chapel chairman, Ruth Hurd, social chairman, Lennice Jean Baer, organization chairmang WVillian1 Green, publicity chairmang Lucile Murphy, athletic chairinan, William Gragg, lost and found chairmang and Allan Nottort, house and grounds chairman, To make the Student Council 2111 interesting organiza- tion, there is staged a contest on the attendance of the members. There are two equal sides. Each member that 1S present is given a certain number of points, and the side winning are to be treated by the losers at some social function. The annual Student Council banquet was held at the Callahan Tea Room, Tuesday, March 21. "Spring" Was the theme of the evening, carried out in table decora- tions and program. Howard Myers, president of the council, served as toastmaster, and introduced those who took part. Each member of the council invited a guest, and tol- lowing the banquet, the group attended a show at the Ly- Hric, which co-operated with the council and reserved a section in the theatre. The pastel colors of spring were carried out in the ta- ble decorations. The place cards were set with small green and pink candles, set in the center of a small flower seal. The nut cups and programs were alternated green and pink for every boy and girl. The center table was decorated with large candle tapers. with a center piece of mixed sweet peas. The menu was carried out as near as possible in accordance with the color scheme. The banquet was a success through the efforts of Lois Schrader, with the assistance of Harold Kelley and Allan Nottorf. There were forty-three members present. At the beginning of the year Miss Manrine Morley was head sponsor, but she later became Mrs. Charles Cruse. resigning from school duties. Miss XVinnie Scott took her place.

Under this charter the principal and members of the faculty have the privi- lege of choosing 15 per cent of the upper third of the sen- ior class scholastically. There were fifteen chosen this year by Principal tj. Hawkes and four other members of the faculty. Three other points in addition to scholarship were taken into consideration: Leadership, "the power of personality that blazes the trail for man's upward climb." Character, "the composite of all the common virtues, which sets the seal of righteousness upon our every en- deavorf' Service, 'tthe beginning and end of our education, the altar of altruism from which God's blessings to man have been vouchsafedf' Prior to the initiation the following officers were elect- Quill and IXTEEN STUDENTS were awarded a membership in the International Quill and Scroll, an honorary so- ciety for high school journalists, A charter was granted to Abilene High School in 1928. Since that time up u11til 1933, thirty-six members have been chosen. On April 25. a Quill and Scroll certificate was received announcing the sixteen members accepted. Those stu- dents awarded membership were: John Allen, proof-read- erg Blanche Bowersox, news editor, proof-reader, Jane Case, editor, make-up editor, Arlene Cheney, copy-readerg VVilma Coulson, news editor, copy-reader, Virginia Emig, editor, proof-reader, Thaine Engle, business managerg John Graff, business manager, WVilliam Gragg, sports ed- itor, proof-reader, William Green, business manager of Booster and Annual, Alice Hees, 11ews editor, proof-read- ed: President, William Graggg vice-president, Alice Heesg secretary, Virginia Emigg treasurer, Lois Welsh. The society held its banquet and formal initiation cere- mony Tuesday evening, April 4, at Presbyterian church. Principal Hawkes was in charge of the initiation cere- mony with Mr. Roy Martin assisting as secretary. Sev- eral of the alumni helped with the initiation. Mr. M. H. Malott was the speaker of the evening and gave a very entertaining and inspiring talk. He said that the three ways to success were enthusiasm, intelli- gence to direct it,and courage to carry it out. The pins which were presented to the members during the initiation are symbols of the torch which stands for knowledge and the light which stands for giving your service to others. , The four letters on the pin are symbolic of the four qualifications of the societyg C for character, S for schol- arship, L for leadership, and S for service.

HE ABILENE High School Booster, has endeavored throughout the year to co-operate in every way with the students, faculty, and administration to raise the literary and scholastic standards of the school, to record accurately the activities of our high school, and to stimu- late sportmanship and true school spirit. It was decided to have a change of the staff organiza- tion every nine weeks, making four different changes during the year. Each staff organization had the priv- ilege of editing four issues of the Booster. During the first nine weeks France Wilson was editor and William Green, business manager, the second nine weeks, Virginia Emig, editor, and Lucile Murphy, business manager, the third nine weeks, Marjorie Eggleston was the editor and Lucile Murphy repeated as business man- ager, and during the last nine Weeks' period, Jane Case was editor, and Thaine Engle was elected business man- ager. During each nine weeks' period there were the follow- ing officers elected: Editor-in-chief, business manager, news editor, assignment editor, make-up editor, sports editor, and proof-reader. The others remaining in class served as reporters. A contract was let to the Reflector Printing Company for printing of the Booster which was published bi- monthly. During the year the class published several outstanding papers, namely the Thanksgiving issue of November 25, the Christmas issue of December 12, and the Easter issue of March 14. ' The journalism class had the privilege of putting out the Reflector on April 20. This was a six page paper. Jane Case acted as editor-in-chief, Blanche Bowersox as assignment editorg Robert Casanova as sports editor, and William Gragg had charge of the columns. This year, according to custom, the journalism class sponsored the Christmas story and poem contest. The prize winning story, "The Nativity," was won by Opal Hoffman, a junior, and the prize winning poem, "A Stu- dentis Progress," was won by Marion Atnip, a senior. During the year members of the class participated in the International Quill and Scroll contest, Those whose writings were entered in the contest received very high honors. :These students who chose journalism as one of their subjects for the senior year, are fitting themselves for fu- ture lift. Although few of them shall enter the newspaper field, yet the training is beneficial in every branch of business activity. ITH CERTAIN finincial difficulties imminent at the beginning of the year, it was at first doubt- ful if we would have an annual. The Board of Education informed us that if an annual were issued it must sell for not more than fifty cents, This was a re- duction of one dollar and twenty-five cents from the price of last year's annual, and it was also passed by the board that no advertising could be solicited for the publishing of the annual. Late in the fall by surmounting seeming formidable difficulties, it was finally decided by the journalism class to make possible a magazine type of annual rather than discontinuing the Orange and Brown. Contracts were left to the Burger-Baird Engraving Company of Kansas City, Missouri. and the Reflector Printing Company of Abilene to print the annual. Jane Keel was chosen to edit the year book, William Green was chosen to act as business manager, and Lois Schrader as associate editor. Under this management, an interesting sales campaign of two weeks' duration was held in which six class representatives participated and a sufficient number of annuals were sold to warrant the journalism class to start work on the 1953 Orange and Brown. Thermometers on huge posters were mounted in the hallway to stimulate interest and increase subscriptions to the annual. At the end of each day Green, the busi- ness manager. would change the mercury in the thermom- eters showing the work of the class representatives dur- ing the day. Organizations and activity group pictures were taken throughout the year, just as soon as it was possible. Be- tween Thanksgiving and Christmas individual senior pic- tures YV81'B taken. I'l1otography this year was done entire- ly by Vl'l8l'1Il2LXlyS Studio. In addition to Keel, Green, and Schrader, the others who helped to make the 1933 Orange and Brown a suc- cess, were John Allen, organization editor, Iona May Morrison, photography editor, and Robert Casanova, sports editor, Much credit goes to Kenneth M, Bock, the teacher of the journalism class and the sponsor of the an- nual. Other 11l6111lJ01'S of the journalism class without official title aided materially with this production. As many prints as possible were sent early to the e11- graving company, thereby making a considerable saving through discount allowances. Near the middle of the sec- ond semester, the first type written copies were sent to the Abilene Reflector Printing Company. Due to monetary restrictions, the 1933 annual was re- duced in number of pages from seventy-five to thirty-two. 'I-he size of pages, however, were increased from eight by ten inches to nine by twelve inches. Iligh quality white gloss paper was secured and instead of having a. stiff cover as in previous years, arrangements were made for a flexible cover with at three tone, color etching, The number of annuals fo be printed and distributed flexible cover with a three tone color etching.

HE BOYS' GLEE CLUB began its work at the begin- ning of the school year under a new schedule. A di- vision was made so that there would be one class for all of the boys. The membership was also changed. There are thirty-two i11 the class, but only twenty-five were chosen to represent Abilene in the music contest, The Boys' Glee Club is like that of the girls'. They are trained in theory, appreciation, vocal culture, ear- training, vocal solo, and ensemble. This group has also appeared at many different gatherings throughout the year such as the North American Club, Lions Club, junior play interlude, NVomen's Federation, junior high school chapel, and then at the high school chapel, where they put on a very interesting program of vocal selections. One of their main features of the year was the broadcast- ing of solos, quartets, and sextets over radio station KFBI, The boys quartet is composed of Oliver Hartenstein, Alfred Makins, Loy Leffingwell, and Allan Nottorf. The boys had their local elimination tryouts at the same time that the girls held theirs. The winners of this intra- school contest also represented Abilene at the music con- test.

Bishop Anderson won third place in the boys' high voice, Under this efficient training by Miss Griswold, thc young men who were privileged to enjoy this class, are being fitted for a larger place in life after graduation. Training in reading music, voice culture, and ability to face audiences go a long way in helping the pupils in their future life.

Fr ' W I i 1 i l 1 i l. I I i i P t i Girl Reserves Cabinet T THE FIRST cabinet meeting of the year the Girl Reserves decided to choose 'tGardens" for the theme of the year 't32" and "33", and started car- rying it out on the first day of school by presenting each teacher with a small bouquet. Throughout the year posters and the semi-monthly pro- grams carried out the theme very effectively and all year flowers had their place. At the Thanksgiving season the service committee fixed up baskets from contributions from members of the club for two families. At Christmas the annual G, R.-Hi-Y white gift chapel was given and the gifts received were sent to the Indians of the Rainbow Baptist Mission at Keillles Canyon, Ari- zona. Candy sales, the book exchange, the brass sale, and membership dues furnished the national and state assess- ments and camp and conference funds. The City Federation of W'omen's Clubs furnished the city quota of one hundred dollars, The Lions and Rotary Club also made money donations. Forget-me-not sisters, in line with the theme. were used this year. The names were drawn before Christ- mas and on Valentine's Day a meeting was given over to revealing the forget-me-not sisters after which light re- freshments were served. As in the previous years the girls divided themselves into several groups and at the Christmas season sold candles and sang Christmas carols Outdoor meetings were introduced this year, and two were heldg both at Mary-Dell Camp. The first one in the early fall was under the supervision of the girls who had attended the Girl Reserve summer camps and was con- ducted much like the campfire meetings of these camps. The second outdoor meeting was in the spring and was an Indian ceremonial on the moon-lit banks of Brown's Lake. This meeting was put on by the girls who at- tended Okoboji camp in Iowa where they put on the same program. These meetings gave variety to the semi- monthly meetings and did much to inspire the girls. Entertainment for the year was found by the Girl Re- serves first at the Big and Little Sister party, This party was given for all the new girls in school. Each upper classman took as her guest to this party, a freshman or new girl. Next the girls entertained their dads at the Dad and Daughter party, They were told of the doings of G. R. and were taught many new songs and games, giv- en plenty to eat and sent home. At the last of the school year came the annual Mother- Daughter banquet. At this banquet a lovely program was given and the new officers and new cabinetavere officially installed. The officers for the year were: Pres- ident, Ruth Fengelg vice-president, Virginia Emigg secre- ROW 1-Wells, Engle, Emig, Fengel, Goodwin, Keel, Hoo- ver.

The eight committees were unusually active this year. The membership committee finished the quilt, started several years ago, for the rest room. The finance com- mittee were quite successful with the book-exchange and candy sales. With the help of the service committee the Thanksgiving baskets and also the Christmas gifts to the Indians were made possible. The publicity committee kept G, R. before girls with posters, and the devotions for every meeting were given by members of the devotions committee. All programs were planned by the program committee and the music committee. All entertainments for the club were plan- ned and executed by the social committee. The committee chairmen Were: Program, Jane Caseg membership, Virginia Emigg finance, Ruth Hurd, music, Nadine WVellsg devotions, Velma Hoover: publicity, Verda Stantsg social, Jane Keelg service, Alice Hees. A Mother Goose entertainment was given during the winter for all the grade school children in the high school auditorium after school and five cents admission was charged. The program was given by all of the commit- tees. each committee being responsible for one act of the performance. The skits were, "Little Black Sambo," "Red Riding Hood," "Three Bears," "Old Woman in the Shoe," and several other clever nursery rhymes. These rhymes were acted out by members of the various com- mittees. As a special project the club sent several Friend- ship Folders to China. These folders contained data about the high school, pictures of the school and of the G. R. members. Each year the club tries to have one special project and the Friendship Folders were decided upon for this year. There was much enthusiasm shown by the girls who attended the summer camps and conferences and they received many worthwhile inspirations and ideas for the club. There were ten girls and one sponsor who attended the summer camp at Camp Wood. Two girls and one sponsor were sent to the Y. W. C. A. camp at Lake Okobo- 31.

' HE GIRLS' ATHLETIC Association entered the year of 1932-33 rather uncowgirlishly with the animal vagabond hike for freshmen. This was an annual hike to introduce new girls to G. A. A. A gypsy trail was followed which led the vagabonds all over Abilene, finally ending at the City Park where a lunch was served. A ten mile hike to Solomon came as their second large event of the year-following a series of shorter hikes car- lier in the year, These hikes were taken for the purpose of giving the tenderfeet a chance to make points toward membership in the organization as well as for giving the old members a chance to gain more points toward awards. Fifty miles were hiked during the season. Roller skates were substituted for bronchos in the next happening which was a roller skating party at the city rinks. For the purpose of making money during the year, pop corn sales were held after school and the girls had charge of the stand at the Abilene-Peabody basketball game. They also sold Eskimo pies at the Physical Education demonstration. The Cowgirls invited their favorite cowhands to a box supper at which a short program was given before the boxes were auctioned off to the cowpunchers, As the big success of the year the cowgirls cast aside their chaps to don rompers and gym suits and attended the Olympic party in the high school gym. There were relays testing the speed of the entrants, and contests test- ing their strength. The winning team received a hand- some silver tin-cup. Executive board meetings were held once a month, some of which were in the form of covered dish suppers. At these meetings, programs for the regular meetings, and parties were planned, The 1932-33 executive board ctmsisted ol' thirteen. niemlrers, officers, and committee chairman. They were: Iona May Morrison, presidentg Lucile Murphy, vice-president and program chairman, Vivian Stevens. secretaryg Peggy Morse, treasurer, Stel- ouise Hockensmith, social chairman, Georgia Medley, fi- nance chairmang Jean Goodwin, 'publicity chairman: Lois Coulson, song lcaderg lVillmitl1 Scott, pianist, lnez Hicks, hike captaing Mildred Yancey, Student Council represen- tative. The sponsors of the club were Miss Hawkins and Miss Griswold. The Abilene G. A. A. is a member of the State Girls' Athletic Association which was organized for the pur- pose of offering a standardized program of intramural ath- letics for girls. Awards given by this association consists of lette1's and pins, and are given to girls who have earned the necessary number of points. The first award, given when 600 points have been earned is a pin in the shape of a sunflower, which has the lettters G. A. A, inscribed upon it. The second award is the school letter of chenille, in the I school colors, with the outline of the State of Kansas and lettered with G. A, A. 1200 points are necessary to win this letter. The state letter in the State G. A. A, colors, which are brown and gold and made up in chenille is the 'third award. An outline of the State of Kansas with the letter- ing G. A. A. will be inscribed upon the letter. 400 addi- tional points must be earned for this award. Five girls received this award. The fourth and final award is a gold "K" lettered with G. A. A. The state colors are carried out in this pin. A total of 2000 points are necessary to merit this final award. Stelouise Hockensmith, Jane Keel, and Iona May Morrison received their "K's'i this year. , Every school which is a member in good standing in the K. S. H. S, A. A. is entitled to membership in G. A. A. but no inter-scholastic competition is permitted among the schools which take up the girls, program. On March 5, twelve cowhands and a foreman went to a playday roundup at Salina. They were the representa- tives of one of the eight Central Kansas towns that were there. The activities of the day were: relays, baseball, basketball, and swimming. The cowhands were selected by the sponsors and the executive board for their interest in athletics and G, A. A. Those who made the trip were: Peggy Morse, Stelouise Hockensmith, Rosemary Gans, Florence XValker, Mildred Yancey, Iona May Morrison, Vivian Stevens, Cleobelle Seaton, Inez Hicks, Georgia Medley, Jean Goodwin, Francis Hershey, and Miss Haw- kins. The annual Physical Education demonstration, given May 9 in the City Auditorium, was sponsored by the G. A, A. All of the gym and dancing classes took part and many difficult stunts were done. The program consisted of folk dancing, tap dancing, ballet dancing, drills, exer- cises, tumbling and pyramid building. The object of this demonstration was not to emphasize the work of especially capable girls but to encourage all girls to take part in activities that will develop muscular co-ordination, grace, and skill. The officers for the year '33-'34 were guests at an early morning breakfast at Brdwnfs' Lake given by the execu- tive board of 1933. At this breakfast the executive board members for the ensuing year were selected. They are: Stelouise Hockensmith, president, Ruth Hurd, vice-presi- dentg Peggy Morse, secretary, Florence Walker, treas- urerg Mildred Yancey, Student Council representative, Rosemary Gans, hike master, Jean Goodwin, social chair- inang Inez Hicks, publicity chairmang Helen Lucile Hutch- ison, finance chairmang Elinor Welch, pianist, and Re- nee Johnson, song leader, This year a new member, a point chairman, was added to the board. Her duty is to take care of the points and the membership. Cleobelle Seaton is the new point chairman. The cowgirls ended their activities by spending a week- end out on the range at Mary Dell Camp. Both the old and new executive boards and sponsors were present. C6 SH CHAY JAY"-the three, straight, downward gram WHS giV9l1 followed by the Heats."

There was a need felt for increasing both the English and shorthand vocabulary, and to gain a more definite knowledge of the principles through the reading and writing of shorthand. The 'tGregg WVriter," a shorthand magazine, was used as a basis for development. A secondary purpose was to gain additional information that would serve as a background for a stenographer or office worker. Regular meetings were held once a month at which each of the members gave brief discussions on selected topics. The final meeting of the year 1933, was in the form of a picnic, held at Baer's grove. The usual pro- The officers of the club were: President, Nadine Holmesg vice-president, first semester, George Buhler, and second semester, Phyllis Seatong secretary-treasurer, Ellen Krisher. From this group also came the State Typewriting Team. The six members who tried out and qualified for posi- tions on the team were: Nadine Holmes. Dorothy Hout, Ellen Krisher, Nadine Wells, Alberta Brooks, and Ruth Fengel. From these six were chosen five who represented Abilene in the State contest at Abilene. As a plan of study, "A Plan for Self-Management" by Everett W. Lord was used for the year's meetings. The topics, knowledge, judgment, decision, and strength- which is expressed in health, personality, and joy-were the topics which were discussed as the means to the "End of Self-Management-SUCCESS." Commercial Club HE COMMERCIAL Club of 1932-33 consisted of thirty-seven juniors and seniors specializing in the commercial work. Students taking any commer- cial elective subject may be an associate member of the club, Mabel Pinson is head sponsor, assisted by XVinnie Scott. The officers elected at the beginning of the year were: President, Lennice Jean Baerg vice-president, Hazel YVeb- er, secretary, Nadine Wells, treasurer, Charlotte Shear- 'erg entertainment, Frances Switzerg program, Ellen Krish- erg parliamentarian, Alice Hees. This year the social and program committees consisted of five new members each month so that each program was planned by a different committee. These commit- tees worked with a chairman who had been appointed for the year. This plan made it possible for practically every member of the club to take an active part in the function- ing of the organization. One of the outstanding events of the year was the play- let, 'Parlor Tricks," which was presented by two differ- ent casts. The first cast was: Frances Kauffman, Alice Hees, Hazel W'eber, Charlotte Shearer, Margaret VVhite- hair, and Lucile Jordan. This cast presented the play- let at several prominent business organizations and also at the Commercial Club party, which was given in honor of the former members. The second cast presented the playlet in chapel, at several church Aid Societies, and at the Sand Springs Literary. This cast consisted of: Dor- othy Hout, Ellen Krisher, Nadine Holmes, Lois Schrader, Josie Conn, and Willmith Scott. Both casts were under the supervision of Miss Pinson, The members of the club who were members of the State District Typing Team are: Noviceel-Iazel Nveber.

This class was under the supervision of Kenneth Rock. 'A The first debates of the season came in air invitation tournament at Emporia in which eight students partici- pated, They were as follows: Allene Mm-pay, Blanche Bowersox, Donald Dieter, VVilliam Gragg, Allen Nottorf, Francis Iilaesi, Yvllliiilll Green, and Hazel Huston. Abi- lene met some of the best high school debaters in the state and were encouraged when they won ,a consider- able number of the debates. This tournament helped to whip the final debate squad into shape for the league meet at Salina early in the spring. Al' The final squad chosen to represent the school in this tourney were: Allen Nottorf and WVilliam Green, affirma- tiveg Donald Dieter and William Gragg, negative, This Abilene squad placed second in percentages as individual debaters, but as teams, sixth. Approximately twenty-five non-decision debates were held during the season in which they had as competition schools not only in the Central Kansas League but also in the North Central League. Several practice debates also furnished entertainment for nearby literary socie- ties. The squad was chosen and coached by Kenneth Rock. Declamation was supervised by Miss Esther Christmore. In the league contest Abilene was represented by Jack Nelson, who gave as his reading, "The Finger of God." Jack was awarded sixth place in the C. K. L, In oratory William Gragg represented Abilene again this year. Gragg entered the Kansas City Star oratorical contest and placed second. His oration was entitled, MThe Constitution and the Future of a Democracy." ln the Central Kansas League, Gragg placed third. 'lhalia club HALIA, THE LATIN Club, is an honorary organiza- tion composed of those students who make an aver- age grade of an A or B in Caesar or Cicero. At the beginning of the year there were eleven neyv members initiated, making a total of twenty-four in theQ club. At their monthly meetings the club took different phases of ancient Latin history pertaining to the different months. Q The December meeting featured the customs and le- gends of the Roman Christmas festival. the ',SiltllI'l1f1liil..

The outstanding characteristics of his life and death were studied at this meeting. The subject for study of the April meeting was the founding of Rome, the most celebrated city in the world. During the first semester the different classes made projects. Probably the most outstanding was a Roman house, Some of the other projects were: scrap book... notebooks, furniture, Roman dining room, soap carving, War implements, and dolls in costume. The officers are: President, Margaret Whitehairg vice- president, Opal Hoffmang secretary, Mary Jane Lucier: treasurer, Ruby Leckrong sergeant-at-arms, Herbert Meulig finance chairman, Iona May Morrison. The spon- sor is Miss Vera Lawellin. Junior Play 46 ER rninxn 'inn kixef' a time-act comedy by Harrison Rhodes and A. E, Thomas, was pre- sented by the junior class on the evening of No- vember 18, under the direction of Miss Esther Christmore. The plot centered around Princess Lydia, portrayed by Ruth Hurd, who decides to change her name to that of an American, so that she might meet some young men who will love her because she is herself and not because she is a princess. YVhen Mrs. Hastings, played by Stelouise Hockensmith, who secretly loves King Georges, father of Princess Lydia, portrayed by Bruce Nemechek, takes Prin- cess Lydia into her care, the princess develops into a charming young lady. Since Prince Otto, played by Donald Dieter, is almost forced to marry Lydia before seeing her, he declares a re- fusal to marry the princess. Otto changes his name- also and' thus more complications arise. When Otto and Ly- dia informally meet, they are at once attracted to each -other. Poor Miss Bridgerton, played by Opal Hoffman, the governess of Princess Lydia, ,is shocked beyond compre- hension when she sees how Mrs. Hastings has trans- formed her ward from a sincere, plain little lady into a charming, modern Antierican girl, , King, Georges also loves Mrs. Hastings secretly and can- notask her to marry-him because he has nothing to offer her... Mrs...Hastings, who is very wealthy, plots to re- store Georges .to .the .throne with the aid of Scarlotti, sec- retary to 5Georges, portrayed by Don Duckwall. King Georges is finally restored to the throne and the play ends happili- , . Jack ?Nelson, taking the part of Count Churak, the court chamberlain, portrayed his part well. Other char- acters 'who did well in the play are: Francis Brown, a tradesmang Francis Kauffman, Mrs., Hasting's maid, Ag- -1165 Ayers, another maid, and Robert Froelich, an English ibutler. C N ' ' A ' A - Senior Play KC WIIE THlRTEENTH CHAIR," presented by the Sen- ior Class on April 28, was one of the most dra- matic plays ever attempted by the high school. Miss Esther Christmore was the director and much of its success may be credited to her. The play was a mystery in which there were many ele- nients of drama. Jane Keel played the part of the En- cliantress. lt was during her seance, held for the 2llllllS0lll6lll1 of a group of socially elite, and secretly to dis- cover the murderer of one Spencer Lee, which occurred some years previous, that Edward Wales, Max Beamer, was stabbed and instantly killed. The whole party was held in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Crosby played by Thaiile lunglo and Lennice Jean Baer. The suspects included then besides the Crosbys, their son VVill Crosby, XVilliam Graggv and daughter, Helen Trent, and her husband Brzuldish Trent, played by Jane Case and Harold Kelleyg Mary Eastwood, Lois Welshg Grace Standish, Lois Schraderg Elizabeth Erskine, Nadine Holmes, Howard Standish. John Allen, Phillip Mason, Percy Keller, and Helen O'Neil, Ruth Fengel. Inspector Donahue, played by XVilliam Green, was called to the scene. Third degree methods and Madam La Grange's secret plot pointed to her daughter, Helen O'Neil, as the inurderess of both Edward Xvales and Spencer Lee. Madam La Grange first resorted to a seance and then honest prayer, which was answered and she discovered the knife with which WVales was stabbed, sticking in the ceiling. She called all the guests into the room. Phillip Mason, the unsuspected young artist, appeared in a half- crazed state of mind, apparently going mad from the sup- posed super-natural powers of Madam La Grange and fighting the specter of the two men whom he confessed to killing, The presence of Sergeant Dunn, John Graff, and Pol- lock, Albert Martin, in the cast added much. Members of the faculty who assisted in the play were Miss XVinnie Scott, Miss Vera Lawellin, .l. Earl Endacott. and l'aul Collin s. X .J l 1. Next--? 2. Just a Chain Gang. 3. Office 'tPets." 4.

H. S., are next in line for graduation, and we believe that they are worthy of the honors for which they have strived and which have been bestowed upon them. The juniors are proud to display both their scholastic and athletic ratings. The third year class began the year with approximate- ly one hundred and twenty students, and we regret that a few wayward ones have since strayed from our herd, The officers chosen for this year were as follows: President, Margaret W'hitel1airg vice-president, Alfred Makinsg secretary, Hazel Weberg treasurer, Herbert Meuli. Ruth Hurd and Donald ,Dieter were the represen- tatives to the Student Council. The sponsors were: Miss- es Lorene Reynolds, Leona Griswold, Mabel Pinson, and Mr. Paul Collins. The pattern which was decided upon for the class rings was a cowboy crest mounted on a niodernistic background of white gold. On November 10, 1932, the annual class play, which was entitled, "Her Friend, the King," was presented un- der the direction of Miss Esther Christmore. The fol- lowing composed the cast: Bruce Nemeckek as Georges, ex-King of Constantia-Feliz, Francis Brown, a trades- mang Don Duckwall, secretary to Georgesg Jack Nelson Count Churakg Ruth Hurd as Princess Lydia, daugh- ter of Georges, Opal Hoffman, her governessg Stelouise Hockensmith, a wealthy American widowg Donald Dieter as Prince Otto, Robert Froelich, a butler, Francis Kauff- man and Agnes Ayers, as maids, A number of junior boys were prominent in football, basketball, and in spring sports, the juniors were well represented in debate and also sent a contestant to Her- ington to the C. K. Ii. Declamation contest. Members of the class aided in selling candy, hot dogs, and refresh- ments at the Ellsworth football game and the Herington basketball game. One of the greatest activities of the year was the re- ception given by the juniors in honor of the seniors in the ballroom of the Hotel Sunflower on May 12. Having thoroughly enjoyed the third year of confine- ment within this corral of learning, as the summer months again draw to a close, the third year students of 1932-33 are looking forward to the final roundup in the fall, v ROW 1 - Hurd, Meuli, Whitehair, Makins, Weber, Dieter ROW 2-Gish, Ber- ger, Flanagan, Ayers, Bur- nette, Brown, Dahnke, Gam- ber, Brooks.

One hundred thirty-seven cowboys started out on this ride. Seine were thrown from their horses, some found the ride too strenuous and were unable to continue on their journey. Occasionally some stray cowboy was picked up and made a lllilllllllkl' of the band. For head overseer or president, the rough-riding rangers picked John Dean Bakerg his assistant or vice-president was Dor- othy Ruchanang secretary was Lois Coulsong treasurer, Mary Jane liucierg Student Council representatives, Lu- cile Holmes and lVayne Zook. The Sophomores again tied for first place on the Hon- or Roll with the junior class as their only competitors. They were prominent in both girls' and boys' athletics and all other school activities. Since they were accustomed to singing on the range as they worked, they furnished much valuable material for the boys' and girls' glee club.

Three of their members were candidates for vice-president of Student Council for the year 1933-3-l, Loy Letfingwell. Dwight and XVayne Zook, and Bishop Anderson. tour sophomores, entered the Central Kansas League Music Contest at Salina this year as soloists. Loy entered the boys' low voice contestg Bishop entered the boys' high voice contestg lVayne played the trumpetg and Dwight played the clarinet. In order to make money, the class sold candy at the Abilene-Salina, Thanksgiving: Day football game. and one basketball game. and also in the halls one evening after school. They rated second in the annual sales contest, On Class Night. a clever one-act play, "A Case of Sus- pension." by Louise Latham Wilson, was presented by members of the class having the lnost dramatic ability. The foremen for the second ride across the prairies were: Neva XVeisgerber, Vera Steininger, and Roy Martin. During this year these second year riders have become more experienced and successful cowhands, and will prove to be popular and dependable t'Juniors." i Freshman -Class HEN THE DOORS of the Junior High and rural school bunk houses of the county swung open in September, one hundred seventy-five eager ten- derfeet came trooping out to take the trail. They came to the corral of old A. H. S. a11d chose the horses on which they would ride for the next four years. Some of the cayuses chosen were: Algebra, English, general sci- ence, history, psychology, and geometry and were very' dependable, worth-while ways if ridden by lads of spirit and patience. A small number of these tenderfeet, how- ever, unwisely picked outlaw branches such as: idleness, flirting, and playing hookie, and after riding for a fall, gave up in the attempts to be full-fledged Cowboys. Oth- ers not having acquired in previous years the ability to ride, failed to keep their seats in the saddle and dropped at various intervals along the trail. Of course, some of these tenderfeet would never make ranch foremen for they lacked the nerve to mount and catch up with other riders. A large per cent however, clung to the job un- til the round-up May 26, 1933. when the rewards of "Sophomore" were bestowed on deserving riders. During this first year's drive the chief range riders in- cluded: President, Ralph McMillan, vice-president, Bet- ty .lean Jones, secretary-treasurer, Faye Snyder. Rep- resentatives for the Student Council were Joan Hogan and Donald Makins. The ranch foremen were: Miss Margaret Scott, Miss Ethel Giles, and Mr. Fred Allison. Although plainly novices. this group l1as already made some records for other tenderfeet to aim at. XVith their Hforty-fours" they have made several bulls-eyes such as super-salesmanship, for they sold more ground mustang at a football game than any other class and they also led all other classes in the Annual sales campaign which is held every year in the form of a contest to arouse in- terest among the classes. The freshmen have ranked third on the honor roll since the beginning of school, They have also been well represented in the rodeo of sports of the school including football, basketball, and baseball for the Cowboys, while the girls had a basketball tournament and a hockey tournament, On class night the freshmen gave a clever stunt which ended their class activities for the year, 1933.

This is the first time in the history of the school that Abilene has had this honor, and too lllllitil credit cannot be given Van Osdol. "Van" attended high school at Pretty Prairie. Kansas. and while i11 high school obtained two letters in football illld four in basketball, After graduating, he enrolled i11 the State Teachers' College of Emporia and after four years, graduated with three football letters and three bas- ketball letters and a B, S. degree ill education. After leaving school, "Van" was called to Abilene and given the job of athletic director ofthe high school. Ath- letics in Abilene previous to this had just been "getting along." A. H. S. had had so111e good teams and was just breaking even on the expenses. During the eight years t'Van" has coached, he has turned out three teams which won first place in the C. K, L. in football and one basketball championship team. Not only this, but he has also made possible for the school the best high school athletic field in Central Kansas. At the close of every year, "Van" has turned over to the school- board good profits instead of being forced to give the sad news that the athletic department had just broken even or had gtllle into the fred." Next year t'Van" will not only be coach of Abilene High School but also principal. He is taking the place of C. E. Hawkes, who accepted the position of Superinten- dent of Public Schools at Oberlin, Kansas.

I11 this game the Abilene team displayed a better brand N THE OPENING day of school Coach Marvin Van Osdol issued a call for all boys who were interested in football to report to the athletic field that after- 110011 for practice. Forty-six boys including six letter- men answered his call and worked out every afternoon under the direction of Van Osdol and Currier for four weeks and then met Lindsborg for their first league tus- sel. Tl1ey emerged from this game on the large end of a 12 to 0 score illlfl started working for their 11ext game with Concordia. Concordia arrived, tlllfl under the giant lights at the athletic field thoroughly trouneed the Hands 18 to 'J. The Cowboys, still a little vexed because of the beating they received, stepped on Herington T to 0 to raise their percentage to two wins and one defeat. The next game was with Ellsworth at Ellsworth. and traveling out among "them thar hills." the Hands found the Jinx still holding good, Abilene came back with the short end of a 19 to 6 score. The next encounter was with Clay Center, who was reputed to have one of the best teams in Central Kansas. and the Cowboys. playing revised ball and leading part time. came to the finish only to find themselves trailing 19 to 13. The Hands put in a week of hard practice preparing for the visit Junction City was to pay the following Friday. The Blue Jays arrived on time Friday night. and the game was one of those close affairs ending with the Blue Jays leading by 2 points, 14 to 12. This was the last non-league game and the Hands were expected at Mc- Pherson the following Friday. Upon arriving at McPherson. the Cowhands found a strong wind blowing across the grid- iron with dust three inches deep on it. and with these drawbacks the game was started. Neither team could find any openings and the score remained 0 to 0 until within the last two min- utes of play. An Abilene back. attempting to punt into the wind. saw the ball soar into the air and blown back over the goal and be recovered by a Mc- Pherson player for a touch-hack and two points while the Hands had not scored. Armistice Day found Abilene and Chapman fighting to a draw on the Chapman gridiron. of ball and more spirit than in previous games, alld it ended 6 to 6. The final game on Thanksgiving against Salina was played at Abilene tl1is year. Salina administered the worst defeat of tl1e year to the Hands. 26 to 0. Coach Van Us- dol was ill a week previous to this game and Assistant Foach Currier substituted during his absence. Although tl1e Cowboys this year were not outstanding they did play good football. VVhen there were 'tbreaks" in a game, they often went against the Hands, and the losing of these "breaks" will take the heart out of a team faster than anything else. The Abilene football team scored a total of 56 points to their opponents 104 for the season. t'Van" expects to build a good team 21l'01llld those he worked with this year who will be back next season.

This forced Abilene to forfeit the two games won during the season placing them in sev- enth place in the Central Kansas League. The Cowboy team of next year will be considerably better than this year's team. Although there will only be one returning letterman, "Van" will have many play- ers, who were substitutes and saw quite a bit of action in this year's games. back next -' ' HAR year.

He was good at "wagging" passes out of the air and always dependable, but will be lost by graduation this year. Spring Sports Tennis The Board of Directors of the C. K. L. decided to cut track and golf from the spring schedule this year, and con- sequently this left tennis as the remaining spring activ- ity. At this same meeting it was also decided to hold the C. K. L. tennis tournament in Abilene. The meet was held on the courts at the Athletic Field and the city courts at the City Park. The only returning letterman to play for Abilene was Casanova, The oth- er members of the team were Hinkle, who played doubles with Casanova, and Dieter, who played singles. ln the singles Dieter had the misfortune of drawing Hays of Salina, who was winner of the C. K. L. singles last year, and consequently was beaten. Dieter next played Blair of Chapman for fifth, sixth, or seventh place, and again he lost giving Abilene sixth in the sin- gles. Hays from Salina, was winner of the singles, de- feating Olson of Lindsborg in the finals. The other schools placed in the following order: second, Lindsborgg third, McPherson, fourth, Heringtong fifth, Chapman, sixth, Abilene, and seventh, Ellsworth. In the doubles Casanova and Hinkle defeated the Her- ington doubles team in the first round circling a fourth place. In the second round they met McPherson and were defeated G-4, 3-6, 4-6. They next met Salina to de- cide upon a 3rd or 4th place and were again defeated 4-6, thus giving them fourth place in the doubles, Lindsborg met McPherson in the doubles finals, and after three sets of hard tennis, McPherson emerged the victor. Second place 'went to Lindsborg, third to Salina, fourth to Abi- lene, fifth to Herington, sixth to Ellsworth, and seventh to Chapman. , , , By averaging the standing of both single and doubles teams of each school, the results were a tie between Sa- lina, Lindsborg, and McPherson for first place. Fourth place was won by Herington, fifth by Abilene, sixth by Chapman, and Ellsworth placed seventh. A All in all it was a very successful tennis tournament and in the able manner it was carried off Abilene will again soon have the privilege of entertaining the tennis players in the C. K. L. Tennis is the final C. K. L. activity for the year and with its completion all schools in the C. K. L. finish an- other year of improved sports. Inter-Class Baseball To develop and keep the boys in Abilene High School in connlition "Van" chose baseball for the remaining three weeks of school. A double inter-class tournament was run off with much interest centered in it by the different classes. ' The Seniors and Freshmen had exceptionally good teams and after the first round had been played were tied for first place. They remained tied until in the last game of the tournament when the Seniors defeated them, thus giving the Seniors first, Freshmen second, Juniors third, and the Sophomores last. Following this game the faculty organized a team con- sisting of: Hawkes, Rock, Collins, Allison, Van Osdol, Currier, Endacott, Robinson, and Hathaway. This team played the winner of the tournament, the Seniors, one evening after school.

The Hands went through the next three games in championship style defeating Herington, Salina and Lindsborg to finish the season with eleven wins, one defeat and the first League Championship that has ever come to A. H. S. In the Regional Tournament held in Abilene the Hands, Abilene team has won the C, K. L. Basketball Champion- ship, although it has placed second before. Starting the season against Peabody, the Cowboys barely eked out a victory by a 20 to 16 score. Losing the next two practice games to Clay Center and Salina, the Hands were ready to step in to League play. December 30 the Hands met Lindsborg on the Abilene floor and succeeded in defeating the Swedes. This was the first victory in a series of wins during which the Hands met and defeated: Sacred Heart, Herington, Chap- man, Ellsworth, Salina and twice beating McPherson. The next two games proved to be disastrous for the Hands playing Sacred Heart, Salina Catholic Class B team and winner of the State Class B Championship, they were defeated 27 to 30 and .Iunction City, winner of the North Central Kansas League, knocked them over to the tune of 23 to 38.

K. L. was well represented with two teams this year, McPher- son and Salina, YVhen the gun fired ending this Salina game, it also drew the curtains on the most successful basketball sea- son Abilene High School has ever had. Through a 20 game schedule the Cowboys played and won 14, losing only six games the entire season. The Hands rang up a total of 404 points while their opponents gathered 341, showing most of the games were close and the Cowboys had to fight to win them. The Abilene team was a strong last half team and although trailing the opponents at the half, many a time they came back and won. Q Basketball Lettermen Donald 'iDon" Fink-t'Don" .

I-I artmann High School Orchestra City Auditorium Eight o'Cl0ck Senior Class FTER FOUR long hard years on the range, about one hundred twelve full-fledged cowboys are ready to dismount from their hard 1'idde11 ponies, take off their worn chaps to don caps and gowns. In these four years we have been taught to ride and to become expert with the lariat. It took some of us eral years to learn, but we finally mastered the art of be- ing a cowboy. In September 1929, a hundred twenty-six strong, we stampeded the Abilene High School corral, XVe were but tenderfeet then and about the greenest of the herd, but all that greenness was taken out of us during "Freshman NVeek" and on St. Patrickis Day. From that time on we were properly initiated into the herd and were tenderfeet no longer. That first year on the range the class was headed by the chief riders: President, 'William Greeng vice-president, Lucile Murphy, secretary, Ruth Fengelg treasurer, Robert Casanova. During that first year we showed the other cowboys that we had talent in nearly all lines. Some of our mem- bers distinguished themselves in basketball, football, band, orchestra, glee clubs, and track. We also held up our scholarship to a high standard, and we were hard to beat when it came to getting on the honor roll. The second year was a little different. We were soph- omores and had been duly initiated into the herd, and we had the pleasure of initiating the incoming tenderfeet. That year we did nothing especially outstanding. We spent our time learning the tricks of sticking in the saddle and of lassoing, We started the year off by having a class roundup at Baer's grove. We did our part in keeping up the schol- astic standing, in sending cowboys onto the football field and basketball court, and many of our members helped in the musical departments. This second year we made but few changes in our head riders. lVi1liam Green was president againg Lucile Mur- phy, vice-presidentg Ruth Fengel, secretaryg and Mary Fair, treasurer. We were steered straight by Miss Es- ther Crowe, Miss Ethel Giles, Mrs. Genevieve Andrews, and Mr, Fred Allison, who were the foremen over us our freshman year. Many of our herd transferred to different corrals. We became very sad, however, in September, 1930, when one of our best and most respected riders, Joe Leckron, died. This of course, made our roundup in the spring of 1931, incomplete, for which we were all sorrowful. At this spring roundup we, who had ridden hard and conscien- tiously, were awarded the title of "Junior," of which we were extremely proud, During our junior year we became outstanding as a class and quite active in all activities of the A. H. corral. That year we first chose another troop of riders, name- ly: Alden Carney, presidentg Max Beamer, vice-presidentg Jane Case, secretaryg and Virginia Emig, treasurer. On November 13, we presented our Junior play, "The Impor- tance of Being Earnest," a very entertaining three-act comedy. I11 honor of the seniors of 1932 we gave the annual Junior-Senior Reception at the Hotel Sunflower, on April 8. This year we had riders who represented us in foot- ball, basketball, track, debate, oratory, and the C. K. L. music contest, At the closing of the year we began to feel quite proud and also feel the seriousness of becoming "Seniors" The year 1932-33 and incidentally the last for most of our herd, started off with a bang. However, we were again saddened by the death of one of our members, Jun- ior Haberman, whom we all claimed as a friend. Head riders for this year were: William Gragg, presi- dentg Alice Hees, vice-president, Virginia Emig, secre- tary, Lucile Murphy, treasurer. From our midst was tu.rned out a fair football team and a championship basketball team. Fifteen members of the herd were honored by membership in the National Honor Society and sixteen by a membership in the Inter- national Quill and Scroll Society. These two societies are honorary organizations and accept only those riders, who have stayed astride their ponies and proved themselves superior by remaining in the upper third of the class, On April 28 the Senior Play was given. It was a mys- tery drama entitled, "The Thirteenth Chair." The final rodeos of the high school career was found in the Junior-Senior banquet, the all-day picnic, and the alumni banquet. XVC, of the graduating class of 1933, leave the A, H. S. corral to face the real roundups of life with a hint of sad- ness a11d yet with a tinge of excitement too, but we will always recall at times the memories of our high school roundups and rodeos. Class Prophecy ACATION TIME of 1933 and I'm still alive, con- trary to the prognosticating of the Right Reverend Lester Wisby who has foretold the end of time ever since the death of his wife, Gladys Thiel. This vacation was almost spent in Europe as an old class mate is now in charge of the Black and White Steamer Company-none other than Noble Frey. But since I never cared for cats, and one of the sD9Ci2llti9S Of this line is "a striped pet for every guest," I decided on the ranch at which Mr. and M rsi F. Yuhl fArlene Cheneyb spent their honeymoon, I notice I said operators, for Wayne Woolverton was driving with Hermine VVili assisting from the rear seat. At the airport I took the elevator fan invention from the master-mind of Paul Hopkinsj, to the air line. It was very thrilling boarding the moving plane, but with the as- sistance of Dwight Hesselbarth and Norman Dull all made it safely save a rather corpulent business man whom Ar- thur Bloyd was endeavoring to assist aboard. Alas, poor Arthur was pulled over and both fell. A woman in the plane went into hysterics and turning to comfort her I rec- ognized Alice Hees ready to jump after her husband, and then I understood it must have been the dynamic sales- man, J. Adolphus Graff. He was selling a simple inven- tion made by simple-oh well, the inventors were Rich- ard Funk, George Buhler, Doster Chase, and Kenneth Jensen. It was to decrease stage fright. Iona May Morrison, Lucile Murphy and Josie Conn- are profiting by it in their Anti-Neckers League work. The pilot, Albert Martin, pointed out the largest sub- urb of Abilene, Solomon, where Marion Atnip now re- sides, and Salina also. fthe home of Jane Case.J And there suspended from a sky hook was Marvin Bo- gart trying to thumb a ride. And look! Tl1ere's someone else, Richard McAdams. in fact. trying the same thing, but he has a little dog suspended also with a flag on his tail. Yes-one of those thoughtful people. He had the dog so trained that when he heard an approaching plane he automatically wagged his tail and the flag. One Pwould think such an excellent traffic cop as Frances NVoolverton would prevent such cruelty to animals. Or at least the Humane Society in which Frances Switzer is prominent would inflict just reproof. Since there was another hour before sundown, the time of our arrival, the steward, Charles Chaves, tuned the radio in and noting something familiar in the laugh of the entertainer I placed Allene Murphy who was giving re- ducing lessons-her motto. "Laugh and Lose." It is ru- mored she will be tried by the supreme justices, Alfred McKanna and Claude Mangel for drastically reducing Lola Stark, Margaret Tinkler and Janice Monroe. Her attor- ney will be Clifford Daugherty., The announcer's voice i 545' i l also had a familiar ring, how impossible to forget Blanche Bowersox's voice-and what was that? Oh yes--Mon- sieur S. Long, grand opera favorite, in his Jacksonian hour, rendering Charles Hensley's latest hit, "Silas, the Soup Sipper's Son." Moving at this terrific speed there was of necessity a look out suspended from the plane to tell the pilot when we had arrived, Lifting his head over the side I recognized Allen Nottorf who informed me that Mrs. Nottorf qliil- lian SeelyJ was quite well. We were dropped off at the front door of the ranch and were met by the hostesses, Dorothy Hout. Jane Keel, and the little French maid, Ellen Krisher, who sent us out on our evening's tour. The guide explained the presence of Jane, not verbally, but you see he was XVayne Mellor. What a beautiful place to forget the hum-drum of city life. There silhouetted against the sky was the head ranchman. VVhat a resemblance-ah yes-surely that was France Wilson. And another solitary rider--Chain ley Johnson. It looked as though he was talking to him- self but they told us he was only reciting poetry to the appreciative cattle. , "Just 20 years ago tonight we were graduated-and now-WVilliam Gragg is with the circus.
