Meetings are of every month. Of- President, Miss Thom- Miss Coverdillg chair- man of the program committee, Miss Howeg chairman of the social committee, Miss Howard, chairman of Miss McKee. the flower committee, The club co-operated with other clubs in giving a series of lectures. These lectures oc- curred monthly and took the place of many of the regular meetings. At a joint meeting of the grade school and high school clubs, Mr. Brown reported on the National Educational Association which he attended in Detroit. The December meeting' was a social meeting, a tea, held at the Junior high school. Faculty Wives Club The Faculty Wives Club of the Emporia High Schools had its origin in the fall of 1926, largely through the efforts of Mrs. T. S. Trigg, who became its first president. Its purpose was to furnish opportunities for closer acquaintanceship among the faculty families. The meetings are monthly during the school year with two or three guest days when husbands and children participate. Mrs. J. R. Willianis was president this year. ' A large family picnic at Dryer Park opened the present year's program. Fried chicken, watermelon and other picnic specialties, were furnished in abundance. At Christmas time the entire group was again bountifully served at the Mit-XVay amid beautifully decorated tables and surroundings. Following the dinner a Christmas party was held in the music room of the Lowther Junior High School. During the year a royal welcome has been extended to four husky new members of faculty families, jack South, Jimmie Huckstep, Bobbie Zajic, and Dean Edward Smith.

Hi-Y '29, '30, '31, Vice- President of Senior Class. The Senior Class The Senior Class of 1931 is the largest E. H. S. has ever graduated, numbering two hundred and fourteen. Not only is it the greatest in size and abundance of knowledge, but it has developed to the highest degree the art of diffusing the minimum of knowledge over a maximum of test paper. In the early autumn, finding it hard to maintain the dignity and stateliness ex- pected of them, the Seniors donned informal attire and stole away to a secluded spot on the Cottonwood. There they indulged in childish gaieties, roasting weinies, tossing stones into the stream, and singlng "Sweet Adeline." But after several months of continued respect and admiration from the underclass- men they felt equal to the formality and solemnity of the Senior Banquet, which was the most successful event of the year. The sponsors of this illustrious class are: Miss Hancock, chairman, Miss Rodewald, Miss Sirpless, Miss Jackson, and Mr. Hurt. To them they offer their sincerest thanks and appreciation.

Treasurer Junior Class The Junior class of 1931 is a very peppy and active class, Most of our efforts have been concentrated upon our studies and various organiza- tions, as many of our members are on the honor roll and in the clubs. Besides being up in the scholastic life we have also taken part in social events, which everyone enjoyed to the utmost. In April we had a skating party at which everyone had a most enjoyable time Qin spite of the many tumblesj. We are looking forward to many more such pleasures, one of which will be a picnic in the middle of May. The Athletic Department would have been at a loss had it not been for the number from our class that took part. This past year we have looked up to the Senior class with a great deal of admiration and pride. Through the coming year our class will have to fill their place and our aim will be not only to equal their commendable work, but by untiring efforts, endeavor to attain unchallenged honors in academic and social privileges which are at our command. We wish for the Seniors success in whatever they do. We sincerely hope that we can be of some assistance to the Sophomores who will be taking our place next year, and also that they may profit by some of our experiences. We owe a great deal of appreciation to our sponsors: Mr. Lodle, Miss Shirley, Miss Howard, Miss Sorensen, Miss Dutton, and Mr. Stout.

Treasurer Beth Fulton, the president, has proved to be a competent leader for the Sophomores as they started on their journey through Emporia Senior High School. Verna Mae Hennigh serving in the role of vice-president, has backed up the efforts of the president and has been a help to the class. Charles Knouse, secretary, did the "scribbling" for the Sophomores this year. His uscribblingsv are the records of the class. Joseph Kelley was treasurer of this class. He collected and took care of all the funds and served his class well in this capacity. The Sophomore Class The Sophomore class of 1931, composed of 236 members, is one of the largest and strongest groups in Emporia High. Representatives from this class have rendered valuable assistance in football, basket- ball, Girl Reserve, Hi-Y and other high school activities. Many Sophomores will be found regularly on the honor roll. Much is expected of this class in the coming years. Page 47 Sophomore II The Sophomore H class held a meeting in September to organize and elect officers. The following were elected to offices: Helen Roberts, president, Lois McCain, vice-presidentg and Carl Kowalski, secretary-treasurer. The class has held one social event and are looking for- ward to another. The last week in October the class had a Hallowe'en party at the Y. W. C. A. Games in keeping with the occasion were played and Halloweien refreshments were served. The sponsors of the class are: Miss Price, chairmang Mr. Williams, Miss Ice, and Miss Coverdill.

Now our seeking of the pot of gold is an actual effort to complete our high school education. And while it is im- possible to follow the rainbow in real life, we can, by completing our high school course, be entitled to receive our diploma, symbolized by the fabled pot of gold. 127 W if ?5iZfW " 1' , - f QW. ff EZYTWEJ W0 N- ff fv?

What an inspiration! This was the theme chosen as the year's theme by a repre- sentative group at the Setting Up Conference, which 'was held early in September at Jensen's cabin. Each month repre- sents a different spray of the fountain and these ideals are carried out in varied and interesting programs, The program Page 52 committee plans our bi-weekly programs using talent in the school and varying the type of program as much as possible so as to interest the many types of girls in Girl Reserve. At the beginning of each semester the membership com- mittee assigns the new girls a big sister, who helps her get acquainted and adapted to the new environment. The Service and W'orld Fellowship committees serve to make our organization helpful to the school, community, and nation. At Thanksgiving and Christmas, baskets were sent to the poor and a Christmas party was given for the poor children. Another project of the service committee was to redecorate the G. R. rest room. Every organization must have money. This money is raised by our finance committee which sells candy at the football games and in the corridors after school. They also sponsor the annual magazine sale and G. R.-Hi-Y play. No club can get along without fellowship so our social committee provides many good times for us. A skating party, picnic, and a jack and Jill party were some of the parties sponsored by the social committee. The publicity committee co-operates with all the other committees and does our advertising. The music committee provides music for all occasions. One of our most valuable sources of knowledge and in- spiration is gained through conference. Our club was repre- sented at the Estes Park Conference by: Beth Mott, Peggy Ballweg, Cornelia Conwell, Eva I.ou DeYoung, Maurine Knouse, Imogene Shoop, Marguerite Rowland, Alberta Bur- rell, Mary Jane Finney, and jean Reid. Those girls who went to Camp Wood are: Maurine Wagner, Marian Tibbals, Ruth XVinn, Frances Onstad, Gladys Faye Brill, Dorothy Star, and Katie Louise Young. The representatives at the Mid-W'inter Conference at Baldwin were: Beth Mott, Ruth Winn, Marjorie Morse, Beth Fulton, Mary Kretsinger, Clara Louise Meckel, Margaret Lewis, Helen Ives, Evelyn Jones, and Ethel Page.

A,-....,.. .A .,,,.,.. , . A X 3 W Page .is Scholarship Contest The Emporia High School has entered the Kansas State Scholarship Contest for many years in the past until last year when we remained out of it. We are entering again this year in hope of continuing our previous success. The plan for the contest this year is somewhat different than before. Previously the contest has been based upon twelve subjects and the school winning the most points in these subjects was winner of the contest. This year the school having the most points in any subject will receive first place. A class "A" high school may enter the contest in twenty-five subjects and not more than fifty pupils. Emporia High is entering in twenty-five subjects. The contest is considered beneficial to the students be- cause it stimulates interest and better work in the class room and gives them something to work forward to. It also ac- quaints them with different types of tests. The contest gives the school and the individual an opportunity to measure their ability with that of other schools and individuals. Those entering the contest this year are: English, 9th Year-Selma Star, Coral Horton. English, 10th Year-Geraldine Foster, Dorothy Van Zante.

Fr: Debate Team For several years there has not been a debate team in the Emporia High School. A debate club was organized in the fall of 1930, and from this a debate team was chosen. The members of the team are Deloy Heath, Lewis Gasche, Mason Carr, and John Harvey. During the year the team has debated with Reading, Madison, Cottonwood Falls, and Manhattan. The subject debated upon was "Resolved that the chain store is a detri- ment to the best interests of the American publicf' Miss Miller, of our speech department, and Raymond Lee, of the Teachers College, have coached the team. Page 58 The Cicero Club The Cicero Club is an organization composed of those students taking third year Latin. Meetings are held monthly. Several social meetings have been held this year. An outdoor supper was given by jack Lostutter at his home in the fall, and Gladys Faye Brill entertained the Cicero Club with a party at her home. Another social event was a Valentine party given by Miss Douglass after school in the class room. Several issues of a Latin newspaper were issued by the club this year. Officers in this organization are elected each semester.

W'e hope you will keep and enjey it and may it bring back happy memories of Em-Hi dajs. On March 12 the annual Re-Echo chapel was held. This was a pre- view cf the 1931 Re-Ilcho. This clever, pcppy prcgram was written by our calendar editcr, Margaret Lewis. The many K,I'gLll'llZl1lihl1S, classes, and activities appeared in characteristic acts. A very unusual character on the program was a weird looking horse, which represented the athletic de- partment. The pregrum closed by announcing the Re-lfeho subscription ceniest. The first place in the contest was taken by Mr. Hurt,s constitu- tion class under Captain Tom Babinsky. Miss Miller's speech class placed second with J. D. Petty as captain, The prize for the most paid up sub- scriptions was awarded to Miss Howard's French class. Ruth Wiiin was captain cf the French class. The Re-Echo staff is licking forward to the annual Re-Echo picnic which is held at the close ef the school year.

The real worlt cfficially began-after the launching in assembly of the Echo subscription campaign, and the crganizing of the staff to which anyone in the school was eligible. XVith a staff membership cf fifty working industriously in their spare time, the Weekly edition appeared regularly on Friday and was de- livered to the subscribers in their sixth hour classes. November 21 and 22, three staff members and Mr. South, supervisor, attended the jeurnalism conference at Lawrence sponsored by the Kansas University Department of Journalism. The representatives, Martha Schaffner, editor, Otis Smith, sports editor, and Ada Ludy, reporter, brcught back clever suggestions for the Echo. The new features of the paper for the past year were the "Echoettes"g the birthday column, "As NVe Grow Olderng the "Five Year Ago' columng "Sport Gossip", the jeke column entitled "Stop Me If Youlve Heard This One", :ind "NWho,d-a-thunk-itf' The new equipment of the department includes the redimant set for cartoons and stereotype for map making.

Lf ', "Up in the Air" The garden of a movie magnate made a beautiful setting for the operetta, "Up in the Airf' presented on January 29th by the music department. A clever plot, together with gay songs and dances, made it one of the best high school pro- ductions of the year.

Marsh SAMUELS BOOK STORE QTHE BOOKNOOKJ All city school books here Memory books and graduation cards Pg 110 The On a bright September morning, We assembled near a mountain, Near 'a high, steep, rocky mountain, Many young and eager creaturesg Gathered there from all directions To ascend this perilous upland. Many years from a great distance We had viewed its rugged grandeur, Had admired its lofty summit, And had promised to ourselves That some day in the future We would scale this lofty mountain, And there pluck the gay bright flowers, Blooming on the soft green slopes, Now the days of dreaming over The long hoped-for time was here. But alas! At close inspection, What a rough and thorny vision. Strewn with boulers, bleak, forbidding! Could we climb it, or would failure Cause us to turn back disheartened? Wordlessly we asked each other. Then the master of the mountain, Father Brown who ruled the mountains, And assisted all the climbers, By his good advice and counsel. Came to us and said: "My children Welcome to E. H. S. Mountain, You will find it is not chi1d's play To attain this peak so lofty. But it is well worth the effort. And you see the worst before you. Trusted guides will help your climbing, Guides of wisdom and experience, Who can safely lead you over Dangerous chasms, treacherous torrents. And through thickets sharp and thorny." These guides, whom we called our sponsors Gazed upon us and then said: "Never has a group of climbers Started to ascend this mountain Quite so well equipped for scaling Or presenting such a picture." Stalwart youths and lovelv maidens Each one, bearing in his hand A sturdy staff to use in climbing, Carved with great care and labor, From the Lowther Tree of Knowledge. Hand in hand began our climbing Bound together by a strong Theye There could be no thought of failure In our climbing expedition. For Lewis and Clark were scouting And a Bishop kept us treading On the straight and narrow pathway. There was no lear of famine For with us we had a Miller, Fish and Rice we had among us, And a Cook and Butler even. 'Gainst colds and coughs we were protected By Smith Brothers trusty cough drops. We had Cole to use for fuel, A Barber too, to keep us trim. And of course with Ella Early There could never be DeLay. And when weary or discouraged, We might rest beside the Poole And sweet music by the Shepard And the Piper might refresh us. While the blithe and bouncing Brownies, With their antics made us gay. Then the guides further admonished "Choose a leader from your number Stout of heart and full of valor Who will bear your standard bravely." So as captain of this legion, Was elected brave Chase Wilson To direct our course, and start us Toward the summit far aloft. Then our little band of climbers Learned of every sage his teachings: Learned to use the English Language That a common noun was always Anything which was not proper. Learned how Caesar built his bridges Wishing he had used a boat. In cooking snatched a crumb of knowledge. Learned important dates in history But preferred to make our own. Climbers Math was viewed from every angle Many found were not so 'cute. Met Biology and learned there All the living organisms, That the lowest form existing Was the humble Sophomore. After six weeks of this journey, Six long weeks with little progress There appeared a Roll of Honor Naming all of those whose climbing Merited especial mention. Much to our surprise and wonder Many names were here inscribed Of our own brave band of climbers Taking heart from this our climbing Grew less tedious and less toilsome Shady nooks and leafy bowers We discovered here and there, Where in groups wc could assemble And forget our work and cares. In the G. R. Camp and Hi-Y Many pleasant hours were spent, Many friendships true and loyal 'Round their cheery fires we formed. And a source of inspiration we have Found their glowing lights. Then one morning slips of paper Were to every climber handed. So we sought the upper Classmen Asked: t'What are these slips of paper?" And the upper Classmen answered: " 'Tis a questionnaire you see there. When great problems vex the nation Mr. Hurt knows how to solve them Writes a long. long list of questions And submits them to our number Makes of them a blazing bonfire In the smoke he reads the answer." And the next September found us Eager to be climbing higher, Confident and full of vigor. Bud McCue was chosen leader. Bud McCue, tall, dark, and handsome, With his sunny Irish humor. Now the service of these climbers Everywhere was much demanded. Every undertaking found us Taking a most active part. In Band. Orchestra, and Glee Clubs Some indulged their love of rhythmg And upon the stage. our acting Won the priise of everyone, While on the Echo staff were others Having talents literary. Days were filled with work and pleasure And the time sped all too fast. Then Charles Sharp was called to lead us, Clever Charles, a seasoned climber, Sure to bring us to our goal. This same year brought us many victories Many triumphs o'er our rivals. Now our victories in football Won this mountain great renown, For so valiant were our warriors That all foes were quickly vanquished, Quickly conquered and subdued. Captained by the dauntless Waller, Mighty Davies playing tackle, Bob Hainline and Philip McCarthy, Fred Kowalski, "Chuck" McG1inn, "Jimmie" Kinter, Courtney Lucas, These brave men with other warriors, Put to flight our enemies. And the wee and Winsome Beth Mott Now was chosen to preside Over all the G. R. meetings Over all the Girl Reserves. On Gene Waller by the Hi-Y This same honor was bestowed Safely we have passed all dangers. Loaded down with many trophies, Which are tokens of our prowess: Our superior skill as climbers. And the tales of our achievement And the glory of our brave deeds Shall re-echo down the ages. As examples for all climbers Of the future generations. BY Miss MARJORIE Monsa.
