To perseverance, a Scottish
trait, characteristic of the students
and teachers who have given their
time and best efforts to build up the
standing of Argentine High School,
this annual is dedicated bp the
Class of 1928.“ Then let us pray that come it may,
As come it will for a’ that,
That sense and worth, o'er a’ the earth,
May bear the gree, an' a' that.
For a that, an' a' that,
It's coming yet for a} that,
That man to man, the warld o'er,
Shall brothers be for a' that."

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.
Its Argentine,
Argentine that can make all things spin.

The cheer leaders for this year have done much to promote organized cheering.
A new type of costume was chosen this year. For the girls, it consisted of blue
flannel skirts, orange'colored sweaters and light hose. The boys’ costume consisted of
blue trousers and an orange sweater.
This year a cheer leader was chosen from each of the High School classes.
Myra Belshaw, the Senior Class cheer leader, was president of the Booster Club,
a member of the Annual Staff and of The Argentian Staff. Elizabeth Wetmore, the
Junior cheer leader, was vice-president of the Booster Club, and took part in the Junior
play. Kenneth Hagood was cheer leader for the Sophomore class.

The football season began with about sixty men
reporting for practice the first day. The team was
built around a nucleus of six letter men with
Joseph Nick, quarterback, as captain.
Argentine, 0; Leavenworth, 0
Both teams played a typical first season form of
football, with much fumbling and penalties for off
sides.
Argentine, 13; Lafayette, 0
The second game of the season was played with
Lafayette on Argentine's field. The line showed
a stonewall defense and interference worked like a
clock.
JOSEPH NICK
Captain
Argentine, 0; Shawnee Mission, 6
This game was evenly divided, each team threatening to score several times.
Indians, in the last quarter, ran ten yards for the only score of the game.
Argentine, 0; Olathe, 0
The “Mustangs' " fourth game resulted in a scoreless tie with Olathe,
a hardTought game, both teams showing good defense.

The squad was built around a nucleus of two
letter men. These two were Melvin Small, cen-
ter and captain; and Joseph Nick, guard. A
group of promising forwards and guards helped
to assure a bright outlook for the season. Prac-
tice began November 26, when forty men re-
ported for the first work-out.
Argentine, 22; Shawnee Mission, 19
j This game was one of the fastest of the season.
Ngf mM The “Indians" opened and closed the scoring
but the “Mustangs" made enough “in between”
j to send them home defeated. Shawnee Mission
I H came within three points of tying the score, but
L Ikl BB Robert Brant made a goal, putting Argentine
out of danger.
MELVIN SMALL

Argentine, 26; Rosedale, 23
The sixth game of the season was with Rosedale on Argentine’s court. It was
one of the most furious games seen on the court this season. In the last quarter, with
Rosedale in the lead, Melvin Small and Robert Brant brought the “Mustangs” in the
lead and a few seconds later the whistle blew.

“Mustang" fight manifested itself when Leavenworth was host-victim in a 2LI6
battle. Although the Leavenworth cagers virtually walked away with five points in
the initial moment of the fray, a shift of position immediately started a steadily rising
score. William Beasley stepped in for a spurt of goaling and Melvin Small and Robert
Brant pushed the score up five points. In the last quarter, the "Mustangs" scored
eight points.
Argentine, 22; Lawrence, 38
The fastest game of the season proved too much for the “Mustangs.’
held a lead throughout the game but Argentine fought hard to change it.
Lawrence
Argentine, 32; Olathe, 23
The return clash with Olathe resulted in a victory for Argentine. The team
displayed one of the best offenses of the season. Twice the visitors sank enough to
come to a one or two point lead, but twice the "Mustangs" came through for su-
premacy. When the whistle blew, the hosts had an eleven-point lead.
Argentine, 20; Tope a, 43
The most disastrous defeat was that handed by Topeka. The game was fast and
the Argentine crew held the Topeka cagers well but the "Mustangs” weakened to-
wards the last and the score began piling up on the other end.

MELVIN SMALL, the captain of the “Blue" and “Gold" quintet, won his third
letter playing center. His stellar play and leadership account for his being chosen
captain and forward on the all-city team.
JOSEPH NICK made his second letter at guard this year. His defensive play
was outstanding. He was also an accurate goal shooter.
ROBERT BRANT played forward. His fast attack and accurate shots made
him a valuable offensive player. He graduates this year.
WILLIAM BEASLEY was a formidable defensive player and also went very-
well on offense. He graduates this year.
WALTER JOHNSON, a Junior, won a regular position this year. He always
played a hard, fast offensive game. He should be a mainstay of next year’s team.
DANIEL BEASLEY made his first letter as a substitute forward. He was always
ready to go in and garner a few needed points. He is a Junior.
NORVAL MOORE, a Sophomore, substituted at guard and showed ability as
a defensive player.
KENT NUFER substituted at guard and forward. He was always ready to
give his best. He will be back next year.
KENNETH SMITH was always ready to go in at guard or forward and proved
to be a capable man at either position.

The Junior High basket ball season started with thirtyTive men out for practice.
F. S. Hoover, coach, eliminated the number down to fifteen men, after a hard drill.
During the season, eight games were played in the league, and one game in a
tournament.
Although Coach Hoover’s basketeers had an unsusccessful season, they showed
the Argentine fight and grit in all the games played.
The following men made letters: Grover Johnson (Captain), Charles Johnson,
John Innes, Victor Pacheco, Howard Knapp, Robert Lattin, Lloyd Childers, Robert
Innes.
The requirement for a Tetter was to make first team. Grover Johnson, Charles

The track team this year was composed ah
most entirely of new men. Only two letter men,
William Beasley and Walter Johnson, were back
for this year.
The team was handicapped very much by the
absence of an indoor court. Practice was held
on the Argentine athletic field, ThirtyTourth
and Strong avenue, and many days it was too
cold for practice.
Practice started April 2, with fifteen Senior
High School men out. William Beasley, Don'

Seniors on the squad.

Seventy-twoGirls' athletics this year have consisted of interclass tournaments in volley ball,
basket ball, baseball and track. Teams were chosen from each of the classes above
the seventh grade and each played the teams representing the other classes. Final
games between the two teams defeating all other classes were played off in assemblies
in the gymnasium.
Both the Junior and Senior teams defeated the eighth grade, Freshman, and
Sophomore teams; therefore, the game to determine the championship was played in
an assembly. The Juniors defeated the Seniors in this game.
The winning players were: Clare Franklin, captain; Violet Kahler, Kathryn
Nick, Ada Campbell, Helen Wise, Dorothy Daugherty, Vera Campbell, Ruth Sheff-
endecker, and Gladys Shutt.
Fifty additional points were given to the winners. Twenty-five points were
given to any girl playing an entire game. Numerals were given to each person earn-
ing three hundred points, and a bar was given for each one hundred points over the
number required for a letter.

The Argentian, the high school paper, is edited twice a month through the
efforts of the beginning and advanced journalism classes. The beginning class
students are called news reporters. They do not secure staff positions the first year
but help collect the news. The second-year students are given staff positions and are
expected to put in time outside of school to fulfill requirements in that place. The
editor, make-up editor, business manager and advertising manager are selected from
the third-year journalism students.
The Argentian was awarded first place by The Columbia Scholastic Press Asso-
ciation, Columbia University, in the 1927 and 1928 contests.
The Junior and Senior students are taught in the same class, but each has a
separate line of work. Along with the journalism work, each division has its English
and literature work.
Each student is required to keep a string-book with the articles he has had printed,
pasted in it.
The Press Club is composed of members of the advanced class, and members of
the beginning class who have been able to meet set requirements.

The Argentine High School Parent-Teacher Association was organized October
4, 1920, with sixty-two members.
This organization was formed for the purpose of bringing the home and the
school into closer contact with each other, and to create a stronger bond between the
parents, the teachers and the children. The school as a whole, has been much bene-
fited by the co-operation of the splendid workers of the organization and in turn, the
student body tries to make the association one of the foremost of the city in member-
ship.
This year the Parent-Teacher Association offered a scholarship prize of $20.00
to the Senior boy or girl having the highest grades for the Senior year. The purpose
of the scholarship is to induce the students to work hard for a higher and better
standard of school work, and to help someone in going to college.

The purpose of the Argentine Activities association is to promote the civic in'
terests in the Argentine section of the city.
It has brought many improvements to Argentine. Some of the outstanding
things that have been accomplished by the association are the extending of Metropoli'
tan avenue; the buying of the athletic field and the building of the stadium, and the
raising of $1,300 for a relief fund for the tornado victims.
Under construction now is a sewer connection for the people west of Strong
avenue. This will extend south to the city limits and west to the city limits.
A contract has been let for the completion of the mile and one'half of Woodland
boulevard which will connect the Short Line with Southwest boulevard.
During the coming year the association hopes to bring about the rebuilding of
the street car tracks to the end of the line at ThirtyTifth street and also the rebuilding
of the Southern Bridge, which was destroyed by fire.

Hail to the
Graduate!
It is easier to spend than to save, it is true,
But saving is one of the best things you can do;
It is not what you earn, but what you can save
Which decides the amount of the sum you will have
To put to work for you.
Then earn all you can and save all you can,
And your chances are good to become a great man;
And while you are aiming to reach the front rank,
Deposit your savings in THE FIRST STATE BANK,
And watch them grow for you.

The Kansas City Structural Steel Company has the contract
for furnishing the steel for one of the most unique projects in the
history of engineering, the NONOALCO Steam Plant for Cia.
Mexicana De Luz Y Fuerza Motriz, S. A., in Mexico City. The
novelty lies in the fact that the new power plant, which will weigh
20,000 tons, is being constructed upon a barge. This is necessary
because of the unusual condition of the soil under the city—a con-
dition which does not permit the placing of piles driven into the
ground, as is the usual procedure. Fabrication of the material was
started in Kansas City December 1, 1927, and the last of the
assembled steel was on its way to Mexico City by February 1, 1928.
The building will be completed about November 1, 1928.
We maintain a large, expert Engineering Force, Fabricating
Shops of 5,000 tons per month capacity, and a skilled Erection
Department.

OFFICIAL
•
' 21
PAT'O.MAR.17
JtfLRANTFD. '
Adopted by the U. S. L.
T. A. for the past thirty-
seven years as the ball to
be used in National Cham-
pionships; also used in all
Davis Cup Matches played
in this country. This ball
has met all requirements
demanded by the govern-
ing tennis association.
Every Wright Ditson
Championship ball bounds
truly and flies accurately.
Every ball feels the same
off the racket.
Official American League Ball
The Cushioned Cork Center Ball. Patented
March 17, 1925. Registered United States
Patent Office. Known throughout the Base-
ball World for its finer playing and wearing
qualities. The patented center construction
insures perfect balance and perfect resiliency.
Stays round and lively longer than any other
Baseball made.
Every ball is inflated
by machinery which auto-
matically gives each one
exactly the same air pres-
sure. There is no plug to
throw off balance. Play-
ers can depend on the ab-
solute uniformity of all
Championship balls. An
air-retaining inner lining
seals the pores in the rub-
ber walls and retains the
original air pressure.
The Wright Ditson Record
Mesh marked. Made for durability and distance.
This ball is guaranteed not to cut or nick in actual
play. Tests have proven it to be one of the longest
distance balls ever made. We have produced in this
ball a wonderful degree of durability without sac-
rificing its distance qualities. Record golf balls
fully live up to the player’s expectations in every
kind of shot. Absolute dependability in the con-
tinuous uniformity of the Record ball will inspire
confidence which improves the player’s ability.

One Hundred NineThe 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 ser-
pent, Remorse, and you retreat—only to be tortured by
the derision, jeers and mockery of the falsifier.

the kinks out of your mental spine, squares your shoulders and
sheds winter and worry by the very shape of its lines, and the feel
of its fabric. A model for men in college or out, master tailored by

"What plant we in this apple-tree? Sweets for a hundred flowery springs. To load the May Wind’s restless wings, When, from the orchard row, he pours Its fragrance through our open doors, A world of blossoms for the bee. Flowers for the sick girl’s silent CONGRATULATIONS AND
roo ni i For the glad infant sprigs of bloom. We plant with the apple-tree. BEST WISHES
"Who planted this old apple-tree?” The children of that distant day Thus to some aged man shall say; And gazing on its mossy stem. The gray-haired man shall answer them: "A poet of the land was he. Born in the rude but good old times, ’TIs said he made some quaint old rhymes On planting the apple-tree.” —William Cullen Bryant. TO THE CLASS OF 1928
