In this volume of The
Argentian, the members
of the staff have tried to
record the things accom-
plished by the school
during the year.
Seven tribes of the Shawnces are said to have dwelt on seven hills between Argentine
and Turner. The largest was near White Feather spring, which spring got its name from
White Feather, an Indian prophet who is buried nearby.
LiBRARyA Ijaiunee IGnjenii
After the great flood, an Indian
woman lived in a valley, with a hill
intervening between her and her white
brother, over which she could see the
smoke rise from the white man’s wig'
warn. When the sense of loneliness
came over her, she began to weep
bitterly. A heavenly messenger ap'
peared and asked her why. She told
him that the Great Spirit had left
her white brother his family, but she
was alone.
"Remember how the first man was
made,” said the visitor, and then left.
From this, she knew that a new
creation was meant, so, she made small
images from the earth as the Great
Spirit had made the first man, but
when she saw that they had no life
she again wept. A second time her
messenger appeared and inquired the
cause of her grief.
"Remember,” he said, "how the
Great Spirit did when the first man
was made.” At once, she understood,
and breathed into their nostrils and
they all became alive.
This was the beginning of the red
men, according to the Shawnees.
It :is fabled that in a cavern near White Feather Spring are the skeletons of a dead
Indian tribe and gold and silver beyond realization, but the treasure is not to be had by
white men until they can learn to use it in the right way.

Wagon trains started in 1824 between Independence, Missouri, and Santa Fe, New
Mexico, initiated “the commerce of the prairies” over the Santa Fe trail, the most noted
wagon and pack-train highway in history. This was later supplanted by the Santa Fe rail-
road.

M M, — — By the spring of 1856 the people of Kansas were warming up in the fight for state'
hood. Eastern Kansas was the scene of seven years of raiding and countcr'raiding, in
border strife. Much of this took place in the district between Kansas City and Lawrence.

SCHOOL SONG
Argentine, Argentine is the high school
Where we learn and are taught the golden rule,
To be fair to the foe is the one great motto
Of this high school in Argentine;
So with loyal hearts we sing,
Our sincere tribute we bring,
To honor with one thought and voice
The high school of our choice.
There is only one we claim,
Deserving of the name:
Chorus:
Now, you laddies, lassies, listen,
It’s Argentine;
Argentine with its colors so true.
We are thinking of you always, dear Argentine,
Argentine with its Gold and Blue.
It's our pride upon the hillside,
Where we work with will, and win.
Now, you laddies, lassies, listen,
It’s Argentine,
Argentine that can make all things spin.

Many pioneers came to Kansas by way of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to St. Louis
and thence up the Missouri to the Kansas. The landing point for “interior Kansas" was
Wyandotte, where the boats connected with stage lines.

The Kansas City school system has in-
creased from nine grade schools and one high
school in 1886, to fifty-one grade schools,
seven high schools and one junior college in
1926. The number of teachers has increased
from fifty-six to six-hundred-fifty-four.
The average daily attendance at present is:
elementary schools, 13,225; junior high schools
2,810; senior high schools, 2,251; kindergar-
ten, 676.
M. E. Pearson, superintendent of schools,
has watched and directed this development.
He is one of the outstanding educators of the
state and has placed the work of the schools
on a high standard.
M. E. PEARSON
Superintendent
F. L. Schlagle, assistant superintendent of
Kansas City schools, was formerly principal
of Argentine high school.
Under his direction the work of the school
was raised to a high standard and the school
exceeded all of its former records of achieve-
ment.
It was at this time that it was made a junior-
senior high school.
In 1924 he was appointed to his present
position, in which he is doing much to ad-
vance the interests of the school system.

With the railroad came the industries and development of the cities. Argentine had
its beginning thus. It was platted in 1880 at the time a silver smelter was
established here. From this it got its name. It was incorporated
as a city in 1882.

L. L. Watt, coach, came to Argentine high
school in 1919, from Grinned College, Grinned,
Iowa, after having starred in athletics there.
His seven-year record with the school is:
Football, 60 games won and 9 lost; basket ball,
148 games won and 27 lost.
Coach Watt has developed such athletes as
Albert Petersen, '23, who has been a member
of the Kansas University championship basket
ball quintet for two years. This year he was
high scorer in the Missouri Valley conference,
and was picked as All-Valley center.

V. D. Keyes, assistant coach, came to Argen-
tine in 1922. He is a graduate of Southwestern
College, Winfield, Kansas, where he won fame
as an all-round athlete. In track he held state
records for a number of years.
He is head track coach. Under his direction,
Edmun Ash, '26, won two first places in the
national meet at Chicago last spring.

R. I. Brown came to Argentine in 1924. He
is a graduate of Friends University, Wichita,
Kansas, where he was athletic director in 1921-
22. He was all-state fullback of the Kansas
Conference three years.
He has been a great aid to Mr. Watt and
Mr. Keyes in turning out successful athletic
teams.

Seven letter men were among the forty aspirants who answered the opening
gridiron call in Argentine high school for the season of 1925. Around these seven
men as a nucleus, Coach Watt built the best defensive team in the history of the
Argentine high school gridiron sport, and a team that was conceded to be one of the
most powerful in the state of Kansas. The eleven picked by Coach Watt won eight
of the nine games played, and lost one, scoring 142 points to its opponents' 32. The
solitary loss was to the Lafayette high school of St. Joseph, Missouri, by a score of
13 to 12. All of Argentine's scores came in the second quarter, while Lafayette
scored two touchdowns and a point after goal in the final period to win the game.
The Argentine high eleven opened the season with a 22 to 0 victory over Osa-
watomie. Argentine first scored in the first quarter, Ash picking up the ball on
a fumble by Osawatomie and racing twenty yards for a touchdown. During the re
mainder of the first half, Osawatomie outplayed the Wattites but was unable to
score. The rest of the game was all Argentine's. On line plunges, end runs, and
passes alike, the Gold and Blue gridders advanced the ball, scoring two touchdowns
in the third quarter. Argentine’s final scoring came on a field goal, which added
three points.
Benton high school of St Joseph, Missouri, was the victim in the first game on
the home field. The Benton warriors were defeated October 2, by a 12 to 6 count.
The “up'the'river” gridders proved worthy opponents for Coach Watt's combina'

tion. The play in the first quarter was practically even, neither team scoring. Ben-
ton scored its touchdown in the second period on an end run after a series of passes
had put the ball within scoring distance. Argentine's best playing was done in the
third quarter, when both touchdowns were scored. A pass followed by a twenty-
yard run, put over the first counter. The second was made on a sixty-yard run
by Ash.
Argentine fattened the “won-column” October 9, with a win over the Shawnee
Mission eleven, by a 12 to 0 count. The Gold and Blue offensive attack was not
yet perfected, and only a rally in the last quarter saved Argentine from a tie. The
“Indians” showed a surprisingly strong defense, and held the Watt men scoreless
throughout the first three quarters. The Blue and Gold would work the ball into
scoring distance, only to lose it on downs. In the final period, Argentine scored
its first touchdown on eight consecutive line plunges. The second counter was made
on a pass over the line after a series of end runs and line plays.
The Argentine eleven showed their ability as “Mudders” October 16, in de-
feating the DeSoto team, by a 12 to 0 score. The game was played in a steady rain,
and the DeSoto gridiron was a sea of mud. In the first quarter a DeSoto punt
was blocked and bounded over the line, an Argentine player falling on it for a
counter. The second quarter was scoreless, play being for the most part in DeSoto
territory. In the third quarter, another touchdown was scored on line plunges and
a fake play.

The Blue and Gold “got revenge" for a last season’s defeat, October 23, when
the Crimson eleven of Central high fell before the Watt men by a count of 14 to 0.
A crowd of 4,000 was present to see this battle, a crucial one in the city series.
Coach Watt's gridders went into the fray slight favorites, and it took them only a
few minutes to prove the “dope” correct. The first quarter was scoreless, with Ar-
gentine having a slight edge over the Centralites. In the second period, after Argen-
tine failed to gain around the end, a place kick was tried, but failed. A penalty
gave Argentine the ball on the fifteen-yard line with three minutes to play. Two
passes were incomplete; but the third attempt resulted in a counter. The second
touchdown was made in the third quarter from the same point on the field and on
the same play. Central opened up with an aerial attack in the final period, but
failed to gain. The game ended with Argentine in possession of the ball.
The team piled up its biggest score of the season October 30, when it defeated
the Paola eleven by a count of 27 to 7. The Paola team fought hard but was no
match for the Blue and Gold. The Watt men used a speedy and varied style of
attack that baffled their opponents. The first two quarters were all Argentine’s.
One counter was made in the first period and four were made in the second, passes
being responsible for the majority of the gains. Paola held the upper hand during
the last half, the Argentine regulars having been replaced by reserves. Paola scored
its only counter in the last quarter, on a fifty-yard run after having intercepted an
Argentine pass.
The strong Rockhurst academy team was defeated on the home field November
13, by a score of 12 to 6. The Argentine team displayed its best form of the season
in winning its seventh straight victory. In the first quarter, the academy team
seemingly held the upper hand, having possession of the ball in Argentine territory
most of the time, but lacking the scoring punch. Rockhurst scored its points in the
second quarter, when a touchdown was made on line plays. Following this, the
Watt men opened up an aerial attack which resulted in a touchdown, and the half
ended with the score tied at 6-all. Argentine's second counter came in the third
quarter, after a series of passes and end runs.
The only defeat of the season came November 20, at the hands of Lafayette
high school of St. Joseph, Missouri, on the Lafayette field by a 13 to 12 count.
The defeat was unexpected as the St. Joseph aggregation was not considered formid-
able. After outplaying their opponents completely during the first three quarters
of the game, the Argentine gridders fumbled the victory away in the final period.
The first and third quarters were scoreless. Both of Argentine’s counters came in
the second period. In the final quarter an Argentine fumble on the one-yard line
was recovered by a Lafayette player and carried across for a touchdown. Later in
the period, Lafayette recovered another fumble and on line smashes and end runs
carried the ball across for a second counter. A try for goal was successful, netting
the winning point.
The city championship title was won by the Argentine eleven “Turkey Day”
when it defeated the Rosedale gridiron team by a score of 19 to 0. The first Argen-
tine score came in the second quarter on a pass. Captain Ash put a fitting finish
to his high school gridiron career, when in the third quarter he ran back a punt
fifty yards for a touchdown. The final counter came in the fourth quarter on
straight line plays. The game was the last on the schedule.
Coach Watt took the team to Villisca, Iowa, December 4, for a post-season
game with the Villisca high school squad, but a snow storm and blizzard forced the
contest to be cancelled. Villisca is Coach Watt’s home town. The Villisca team
holds a clean record for the past two years, not having been defeated during that
time.Fifty-four

The Argentine high school basket ball team finished the season of 1925'26 Feb'
ruary 27, with a record of fourteen victories and four defeats out of the eighteen
games played. Two of the losses were to the strong Ottawa team; one was to Cen'
tral high, Kansas City, Kansas; and the other, to the Olathe quintet. The Blue and
Gold quintet amassed 498 points to its opponents' 289 in the eighteen games played.
The team fought hard and worked together throughout the season, the play at times
being executed with a vim and dash denoting “real class.”
Argentine started the season right by winning from the Excelsior Springs, Mis'
souri, quintet December 22, by a 32 to 17 count. The Topeka team was defeated
in a hard game December 31, by a score of 23 to 19. The next three games were
easy victories for the Wattites, the opponents scoring but 23 points in the three
contests.
The first defeat of the season came January 16, at the hands of Central high,
Kansas City, Kansas, on the Crimson court. The Argentine team was sadly off
form and lost, 14 to 17.
The Richmond, Missouri, cagers gave the Wattmen a hard battle January 22,
but lost by a score of 22 to 26. Argentine won from Benton high, St. Joseph, Mis-
souri, January 23, by a 40 to 19 count.
Rosedale proved easy for the Blue and Gold hoopsters January 26, who gave it
the small end of a 35 to 24 score in a game on the Mt. Marty court.
Argentine avenged a football defeat January 30, swamping Lafayette high, St.
Joseph, Missouri, under a 41 to 13 score.

Osawatomie fell before the Blue and Gold February 5, by a 29 to 10 count
and Argentine showed unexpected brilliance in humbling the powerful Olathe quin-
tet by a 31 to 10 count on the home court February 6. Ottawa, however, handed
the Watt machine its second defeat of the season February 9, winning a hard-fought
game by a score of 14 to 11.
Central high school, Omaha, Nebraska, was defeated on the home court Feb'
ruary 13, by a 38 to 20 count. Rosedale again fell a victim of the Watt mens speed
February 19, taking the small end of a 25 to 18 count. On February 20, Argentine
journeyed to Olathe and was defeated by a score of 28 to 13.
The Crimson five of Central high stepped on the Argentine court February 23,
prepared to clinch the city championship. Argentine was in form this time, how-
ever, and the game soon took on a decidedly Gold and Blue hue. The Watt men
scored on almost every try, leading by a 29 to 13 count at the final whistle.
Ottawa again defeated the Argentine hoopsters February 27, in a hard-fought
contest, by a score of 22 to 20. Ottawa won on free throws, each team scoring an
equal number of field goals. This was the last game of the season for the Watt men.

The “A” club is an organization founded by and consisting of young men who
have earned one or more first team letters in any of the high school's four major
sports: football, basket ball, baseball or track.
This club was organized in 1920 to promote athletics, to secure a closer co'opera'
tion among the members of the teams and of the student body, to insure the success
of the teams by aiding them in any way possible, to create an interest of fellow
students and townspeople in attending the games played by the teams, and to culti'
vate and promote true, clean sportsmanship in the high schools.
Each year the club gives an entertainment. The money collected in this way
goes to pay for the banquet which is given every year by the club.
The requirements for entrance to the club are: for football, playing fifteen full
quarters in first team games during the season; in basket ball, playing in two'thirds
of the games of the season; in baseball, forty'five innings are required, and in track
one first and two second places in dual meets are required or placing first, second
or third in any event at the state meets.

This is the first year the girls have had a basket ball team. Teams were chosen
by Miss Ruth Dunmire, physical training instructor.
Inter'dass tournaments were held, each class playing the other classes. The
senior team succeeded in defeating the other classes. The team was composed of
Leola Gehrman, center; Violet Smith, running center; Iris Rice, forward; Frances
Ferreira, forward; Edith Woodruff, guard; Erlene Johnson, guard. TwentyTive
points were given each girl playing a full game. Fifty points were given to each
member of the winning team. The championship was won when the seniors defeated
the freshmen 11 to 7.
Prospects for good teams next year are favorable, as most of the members of the
teams will be back.
The basket ball games have caused more girls to be interested in athletics, and
to show better sportsmanship.
Edith Woodruff was chosen captain, and Leola Gehrman, assistant captain of
the senior team.

The Argentian, the high school paper, is edited mainly through the efforts of the
advanced journalism class, twice monthly. The advanced class is divided into two
divisions, the upper, or third year students, and the lower, or second year students.
The third year students are taken from the second year students of the previous
year, and the second year students are advanced from the beginning class of the
year before.
The class has organized a Press Club, to which members are admitted only after
meeting certain requirements. The Press Club makes it possible to get a letter in
journalism by earning a total of one thousand points in the school year. The points
are given for various types of work, and are very hard to obtain.
The Press Club gives an annual banquet for its members. This year about
twenty-three guests and thirty-eight members attended.

The beginning journalism class is composed of the best students chosen from the
freshman English classes of the previous year. In former years there was only one
class, but on account of the large number of students calling for this subject, two
classes were organized this year.
The members of the beginning class are eligible for membership in the Press
Club, a journalism organization of the school by having a certain number of inches
printed in the paper, and complying with other rules.
IP
The members of the beginning class are eligible for a letter in journalism under
the same conditions as the advanced class.
The beginning journalism class has contributed a great deal to the various
issues of The Argentian, the high school paper. The class made up and edited alone,
the fourteenth issue of the paper.
The members of the beginning class are all news reporters on the staff of the
paper. The members of the staff: Martha Bishop, Myra Belshaw, Frances Burke,

The theme of the book this year is historical, tracing the history of this locality
from the time of the Indians to the present.
The purpose of an annual is to bind together a record of all the activities of the
school year.
The Argentian for the last three years has been given an alhAmerican rating at
the National Contest held by the Central Inter'Scholastic Press Association at the Uni'
versity of Wisconsin. Last year it won first place in the state contest held by the
Kansas State Agricultural College at Manhattan, Kansas, and received a loving cup
from the Art Crafts Guild in Chicago.
In 1920 the first annual under the title “Argentian,” was published. The idea
originated with F. L. Schlagle, who was principal of Argentine high school at that
time.

The Junior High School Honor Society was organized in 1924. Membership
is based upon the four following qualities: Character, service to the school, leader'
ship and scholarship.
Membership in the organization is limited to twenty'five members, ten students
from the ninth grade, eight students from the eighth grade, seven students from the
seventh grade.
The purpose of the association is to establish a high standard for scholarship,
to offer opportunities for aiding the school, to develop character in the students,
and to assist in the promotion of leadership so as to aid the school as a whole.
Eligibility is determined by a majority vote of the faculty. An active member
in the society must retain the standard work during each six weeks. If a member
should fail in any of the requirements, he is given the opportunity as a suspended
member to regain his position in the organization.
The president of the society is chosen from the ninth grade; the vice-president
from the eighth grade, and the secretary-treasurer from the seventh grade.
Miss Bess Wilhite is sponsor of the society.

The Booster club was organized in 1923 for the purpose of creating more en-
thusiasm and interest in school activities throughout the year.
F. L. Schlagle, principal of the school at that time, was the founder and organizer
of the club. He chose nine girls and put the club into their hands.
The constitution of the club states that at no time can the membership exceed
twelve members. This year the membership is twelve. At the end of the year,
each girl graduating from school recommends one girl in the school to take her place
in the club. If the girl meets with the favor of all members of the club, she becomes
a member. No one can be a member with one vote against her.
This year the club with the help of the school bought uniforms. They consist
of white and blue sweaters, powder blue skirts and white and blue caps.

The Argentine Activities Association was organized six years ago for the purpose
of making Argentine a better and more prosperous place in which to live. Although,
when first organized, it consisted of only a few prominent men in Argentine, it boasts
now of one hundred and forty members, who wish to make Argentine a better place
in which to live. !
The association meets in the Argentine library twice a month to discuss the prob'
lems which arise. When a complaint is to be made to the city, a committee is ap'
pointed which goes to the head of the department to which the complaint is to be
made.
The association is always willing to help the school in anything it undertakes. It
was chiefly through it, that the bleachers were erected at the athletic field.
It has done a great deal in regard to city improvements. It was through it that
Metropolitan avenue was paved to Turner and from Turner it is being paved to Hollb
day. The Turner road was paved from Metropolitan avenue to Gibbs road. Some
of the improvements it is about to undertake are: Paving Woodland boulevard from
the place where the paving now stops, to Steel road; the paving of Ruby drive and
the improvement of Emerson Park grounds.

“Love a La Carte," a comedy in three acts by Adam Applebud, was the play
presented by the senior class this year.
The play opens with Mrs. Huff just returning from an expedition to Iceland and
Mr. Huff returning from Ecuador. Jack and Jill, the son and daughter, are in the
living room ready to greet their parents.
Jill is in love with Billy whom her mother does not approve of and Jack is in
love with Marjorie whom the father does not approve of.
Mr. Huff brings a young man, Tommie, home from Ecuador, hoping to see him
marry his daughter Jill, and Mrs. Huff brings Tillie from Iceland, hoping that Jack
might fall in love w'ith her.
The remainder of the play relates how the plans of Mr. and Mrs. Huff go at
cross purposes.

The Spell of
Irresistible Youth
BEAUTY speaks to the eyes. The mind is
moved by finer things—expression—poise—
rhythm—perfume. The clever woman makes
herself an artist in the use of these aids to
charm—aids as subtle as the caress of a nightwind—
as certain as tomorrow.
She lays greatest stress on the choice of her per-
fumes. For she knows that more depends upon them
than upon what she says, or does, or wears.
For this woman Cheramy has created two odors
that are destined to be far more than mere fragrances
—Cheramy, that house so rich in the perfume tradi-
tions of Old France, has created “The Perfumes of
Youth”.
Perfumes of Youth.
The first is Cappi—a bouquet, complex, mys-
terious, inscrutable—as meaningful as a glance from
the eyes—as colorful as sunset in the gorgeous East—
The second is April Showers—the freshness of spring-
time—a silvery laugh in the moonlight—a magic spell
—part music, part color, part poetry—
Each of these odors is loveliness incarnate, yet
just enough different, that the two may accent by
delicate contrast the charm of your varying moods—
to your inner consciousness they whisper the secret
of a vivid personality—a self-confidence and assurance
—that is the very soul and essence of Irresistible
Youth.

Close to Twenty-seventh street
On the street of Strong
Buzz the sounds of human feet,
Of a jovial throng,
Like a hissing county seat,
When the judge is wrong.
The show is reasonable indeed,
As everybody knows;
Which makes the Pershing like a weed
It grows, and grows, and grows,
And casts about productive seed
Killed not by winter snows.

When the comedy begins,
And actors start to act,
The people yell, and kick their shins,
And sound like nuts that arc cracked
Their bristles rise like fishes’ fins,
Or southern lime that’s slacked.
To make a lengthened story short.
The Pershing show is good;
It takes you through a line of sport,
In sympathetic mood,
Then brings you safely into port,
Well fed by Hollywood.
—5—
So lay your burdens at its feet,
When you are tired and blue;
And drink of romance true and sweet,
As true souls long to do;
And in the morning walk your beat,
With life inspired and new.

The deceit of Intemperance is cunning indeed. As you
approach its sanctum you are dazzled by the bright lights
of splendor and lured on by the promised pleasure of self-
indulgence.
But as you pass through its portals, the lights are
dimmed and the scene is quickly shifted. Then your way
is lighted only by the green glow from the eyes of that
serpent, Remorse, and you retreat—only to be tortured by
the derision, jeers and mockery of the falsifier.
