Admonition You are going, O my children On a long and distant journey. Many a devious path you’ll travel, Many a black knight you will conquer As you wander hither, thither, Listen to the words of wisdom, Listen to the truth I tell you, Lest your frail canoe be stranded, Lest you be wrecked upon the shallows. Let the lessons you have learned here Help your mind to cope with greater. Let the battles you have fought here, Fairly fought and fairly conquered, Only make you that much stronger. And the people you have met here In your social intercourses Teach you how to live together And to smoke the peace-pipe always. May the sheepskins you have won now Be a guide in all your wanderings. Take the iderls I have held up, As a compass in your travels. Finally, 0 my faithful children, As you pass from out my portals, Though you wander far and farther, StiU recall your alma mater Still be faithful to her precepts, And defend her name forever! MARGERY DAY. History of L. H. S. On March 30, 1857, the first high school of Lawrence was opened in the basement of the old Unitar- ian church on Ohio Street and given the name of Quincy High School. Mr. C. L. Edwards was the ffirst principal and Miss Lucy Wilder as assistant. Only two other teachers were employed in the chool. During the excitement of the Civil War, Lawrence though poverty stricken, maintained her schools. Simon M. Thorpe, who was principal at that time, was killed in the Quantrell raid, August 21, 1863. The principals of L. H. S. from 1862 to the present time have been: Miss M. E. Barber, A. C. Far- num, Mrs. Mary Carpenter, M. B. Beal, Sarah Brown, Prof. E. Miller, Miss E. J. Clark, Prof. F. 0. Marvin, J. W. Cooper, J. L. Dunmars, A. J. May, W. H. Johnson and F. H. Olney. In 1871 the present site of L. H. S. was purchased by the board of education and also the Presby- terian chapel which was used for some time for school purposes. The first class which was graduated from hi h school had two members. When K. U. discontinued its preparatory school in 1885 the high school increased in attendance. This made three things neces- sary; first the curriculum of the school must be expanded to provide courses required in preparation for K. U.; second the number of teachers must accordingly be increased; and third a building must be provided to house the bigger L. H. S. All these needs have been realized. Lawrence High School pre- pares the students for college and provides a fundamental business education. The number of teachers has increased from four to 38. The present building was built in 1889. The Lawrence High School Budget for 1897 said of it: “The finished building is a marvel of beauty, convenience and cheapness. Its broad stairs and ample hallways, its high and well lighted rooms, its perfect system of ventilation and heating, make it one of the best buildings in the state for its purpose. The exterior presentation is a thing of beauty and joy forever.” The first class composed of two members is the smallest ever to be graduated from L. H. S. The class of ’16 having 120 members is the largest. The enrollment has increased during the history of L. H. S. from about fifty to eight hundred and forty. Two thousand three hundred and seventy two stud ents have received their diplomas from Lawrence H:gh School. THE HIGH SCHOOL SONG (Tune—Crimson and the Blue) See hat stately towered old school house Standing plain to view. 'Tis the dear old Lawrence High School Alma Mater true. CHORUS Hail, all hail! Our Alma Mater Hail dear L. H. S.! We bear thee a love so fervent It can ne’er grow less. In her halls we’ve toiled and gloried In our victories too, And to her our Alma Mater, Always we’ll be true. CHORUS And when we’ve passed on and others Take our places here, May they lift their strong young voices In one glorious cheer. CHORUS Harold Chalkey, ’05. LHS The High School Bell The bell which hangs in the “stately tower” of the old high school building has a unique, interest- ing history. In the fall of 1850, William H. Knight, a resident of Saxonville, Massachusetts, hearing of Kan- sas’ struggles to become a free state, said that the Kansas heroes should be cheered by the ringing of a church bell. He proposed to donato a bell costing five hundred dollars if the citizens of Saxonville would buy a clock at the same price. Attempts to put this across were unsuccessful until May, 1856. Then Mr. Nute, a missionary, speaking to a Boston audience told of his work in Kansas and read a telegram telling that Lawrence had been burned and many citizens massacred. The audience was en- thusiastic in regard to Mr. Knight’s proposition, and the money for the clock was raised. The bell and clock were shipped to Lawrence by way of New Orleans, but the ship was wrecked in the Gulf of Mexico, where they lay for some time. They were recovered and repaired, and they reached I awrence in September, 1856. The bell was first rung one evening late in September, celebrating the release of free-state prisoners from the Leavenworth prison. The bell has always been used as a school bell. It hung in a wooden tower back of the old Uni- tarian church, which formerly stood on Ohio street, where the first high school was held. It was sold to the board of education in 1890 and was hung in the High School tower. These words are engraved upon it, “My tongue shall speak of thy word; Blessed is the people that shall know the joyful sound: they shall walk, oh Lord, in the light of thy countenance.” The bell stood in years past for heroism of the highest type, the courageous defense of prin- cipal. May it be in years to come a symbol of high standards and ideals which have been cherished by students of Lawrence High School. Manual Building has also been one of our high school homes. It is in this building that the go-jd smells from the Domestic Science department are generated, as well as the Chemistry smells. LHS 1921 J KD CKT -2( Superintendent H. P.

The class of ’21 will always regard Mr. Smith rs heir good friend and supporter. Miss Riggs, dean of girls, is the sin- cere friend of every L. H. S. girl.' Her influence for good is felt throughout the school. As advisor of the Girls' Student Council her assist- ance in working out the various plans which have been under:aken has been invaluable.

In all our checkered career we have looked to him for council and advice. Sympathy, kindly humor, and an understanding heart are the characteristics of this big, little man. The entire class of '21 wishes to see Pap twenty years from now still presiding in the office.

Discovered: At the ulterior end of the hall, a figure seated upon the floor bending intently over a small square object. The excruciating squeek of the Ouija board is heard. Finally a voice is dis- tinguished. Voice: Now Ouija, disclose to me the fate of the class of 1921. (Ouija moves jerkily, a sullen expression on its face.) Ouija: None of your business. Voice: I know Cuija, but fifty teachers and a thousand students of Lawrence High School are anxiously awaiting my report. Ouija: Well if you will cease your loquaciousness and let me do the talking I’ll tell you. Voice: I am in sack cloth and ashes. Ouija: Well here goes. Lionel Semon, the illustrious president of the marvelous class of twenty- one, is using his wit and winning ways to great advantage as agent for “Aunt Susie Monroe’s” pan- cake flour. Eloise McClaine has become a man hater and is trying to do uplift work in the slums of Honolulu teaching the Hawiians to do the Hula Hula. Voice: Oh thanks, Ouija, do go on. Ouija: Oh shut up—who’s doing this, you or me? Voice remains discreetly silent. Ouija: Harold Huffman’s latest book, Original Ghost Stories,” or “Regular Hair Raisers,” is a best seller, especially among bald folks. Chancellor Robert Laptad, of the University of Kansas, has bought four copies. Do you remember Burl Stugard and his snappy snap-shots? Well, he is a multi-millionare. He made his money by his clcvei i a of using cast off knot holes from Frank Pringle’s lumber yard for bung holes in soda water barrels. He has met with much opposition lately because of Chas. Eberwein’s Anti-Soda Water bill which is now before the Senate. Sarah Williams has broken several unwritten laws since becoming president of the United States. She greatly appreciated K. Elbert Stevenson’s efforts in proposing and supporting the amendment to the constitution giving women the right to be president. Margarite Tarpy, Elenora Anderson, Nellie Purcelle, and Olive Hughey are her worst political enemies in the house. Voice: Oh, Ouija, I am so grateful. Cuija, (sacking out i'.s tongue): Do you think this, is your birthday.? Geneva McFarland is the world’s famous bacteriologist. Scientists at K.

Class Poem Once distinctly I remember, it was in the mild September, And each childish, verdant member of the class of ’21, Walked within the high school portals, looked with awe upon the mortals Who had risen to the prominence that the lofty seniors had; Merely hoped to gain the honors that the marvelous seniors had, Only his and nothing more. Then as Sophomores did we flourish, and our minds we tried to nourish By most diligently hearkening to our teachers voice; Brighter did we grow each morrow, never did we note-books borrow, Never did they say with sorrow, sorrow for the sins we’d done That the perfect, marvelous, satisfactory class of ’21 Perched and sat and nothing more. Then as Juniors did we bloom; other classes met their doom When they saw the twenty-oners meant to thus outdo them all; What a glorious Prom we put on, how the faculty did look on, Open-eyed and all amaded at our wonderful leadership At our management and spirit, and our clever leadership. Yes, all this and then some more. Now we’ve reached the climax, having grasped and passed the few facts That the various, sundry text-books and the teachers all held out; Perfect do we seen� and rightly; in our social Ifie we’re sprightly: In our lessons we shine brightly, brightly as the golden shore. All the high school vainly mutters, “shall their like be ’er seen more?” And they all say “Nevermore!” MARJERY DAY. LHS Day Mayer Stugard Semon Ackerman LIONEL SEMON—President TUSTEN ACKERMAN—Vice President FAY MAYER—Secretary BURL STUGARD—Treasurer VERNITA DAY Budget Reporter ADVISORS MISS MAMIE CLARE WALKER MR. MAX KLEIN A snappy and close election, the result of which entrusted the presidency of the seniors to Lionel Semon, began the many activities of the year by w lich the seniors will long be remembered. In most of the school’s activities the responsible positions were held by seniors. Helen Dana was president of the Girls’ Student Council, whil .• Ackerman held that position in the Joint Council. Sarah Williams led the Y. W. C. A. through one of :ts best years, while Quinn Gowell, Leonard Gregory, Sam Weatherby, Alice Bolen, Margaret Butcher were the presidents of the Girls’ Glee Club, Hi-Y, Dra- matic Ciub, Normal Club, Home Economics, and O’itu, respectively. Seniors also led in athletics this year, and eight members of the football team will be winning K. U. games next year. Ackerman, one of the best players in the state, as well as many others of this year’s basket ball team, are likewise seniors. Supt. and Mrs. H. P. Smith’s Christmas party, complimentary to the seniors, was the first so- cial event of the year. This was followed by a par y in the spring, the seniors breakfast, faculty party, and the senior picnic. LHS Little Lester Campbell Simons Brown DOLPH SIMONS—President ROBERT BROWN—Vice President LOIS LITTLE—Secretary STUART CAMPBELL—Treasurer ANNA DOROTHY LESTER—Budget Reporter STUART CAMPBELL and LOIS LITTLE—Junior Prom Managers It is very natural for a Junior class to consider itself “all it” so to speak, yet it must be ad- mittet! that the class of '22 is all right. With Dolph Simons as president of the class, and cheerleader for the school, the class has plenty of pep. As far as athletics go, the Juniors have some dandy material, as Harold Testerman was cap- tain of the foot ball team, and little Mackie and Birdie Weed know their stuff in throwing baskets. The Editor of the second term Budget is also a member of this class and several other members have good positions on the staff. The Junior Prom this year was a demonstration of the ability of the Juniors. With very effi- cient Prom managers, it “went over big.” The Junior class has supported a French orphan for three years. Its ability to stick to a task like this shows the spirit of the class. L, H S Sisson Hilkic Hamilton McKeever Himoe WENDELL McKEEVER—President HAROLD H ILK IE—Vice Fresident MARY SISSON—Secretary CLIFFORD HIMOE—Treasurer MARY NELL HAMILTON—Budget Reporter MISS DOPKINS and MISS BUTLER—Advisor The sophomore class is one of the most ac tive classes in high school. It has furnished the musician for the school this year, namely, Loraine Carder. Several of its members were O’itas, and even athletics would not have been quite complete without the sophomores. The fall election resulted in giving the leadership of the class to Wendell McKeever. A party was planned near the first of the year, and was a splendid success. Everyone also enjoyed the party which was given in the Spring. Let us hope that the members of the class of ’23 will keep their good work going, and that by the time they are noble seniors their record will be one to be proud of.

At one of the weekly meetings it was decided to dedicate the Red and Black to the old high school, as this will probably be the last class to graduate from the old building.

Three boys from the Senior and Junior classes, and one from the Sophomore, are chosen each spring to be Student council members. This group with two boys elected from the Freshman class forms the Boys’ Coun- cil, which meets each week, and plans the activities for the boys in school. The members of the Girls’ Council are elected from the classes, with the same proportion and number of girls, but the presidents of the High School organisations are also included as members. Before last year the Student Council had bee i one, but since then the organization of the Girls’ Council, under the leadership of Miss Riggs, the two have met separately each week, with a joint Student Council meeting once every month. At these meetings anything previously brought up by either Council, is acted upon by the two. Many good measures have been taken up, but one of the most important things which the Coun- cil has done is to adopt the point system. One satisfactory to everybody was hard to find, but the members tried to work up one which would better the high school, and in order to do this they se- cured plans in operation in other schools, drawing up the tentative system from the better points in each. The Girls’ Student Council gave a party for all new girls at the first of school, several Middie Dances which were enjoyed by all, and a very good Valentine party. The Joint Council gave an all High School dance for the Beatrice boys when they played foot ball here which had the distinction of being the best school party held during the year.

Jensen as supervisor. At the frist of the year, the class met with the usual difficulties of cub reporters; but by the time the staff had become pretty well acquainted with newspaper life, its assistant editor, Martha Virginia Horton, moved to Porto Rico. Another change was made at the beginning of the second semester, when Marquis Huffman resigned his position as editor in chief of the Budget. Some very good papers have been published this year. The Christmas issue and the Liberty High Booster Edition were six page issues. There were about four hundred regular subscribers to the Budget. The annual circus, Vanity Fair, was manage d by the Budget Staff. Each organization was rep- resented by a booth or stunt. With the proceeds obtained from this, and the money made by advertis- ing the Budget was able to come through the year successfully in a financial way. Mrs. Jensen entertained the members of the staff during the Christmas week with a party which they will always remember with pleasure. b HS Lester Carpenter Kreeek Day Walker Butcher Gowell Williams Stugard Sisson Sisson SARAH WILLIAMS—President ANNA DOROTHY LESTER—Vice President MARY SISSON—Secretary VERNITA DAY—Treasurer LA VERNE STUGARD—Chairman Program Commitee MARGARET BUTCHER—Chairman Service Committee QUINN GOWELL—Chairman Social Committee The Cabinet of the Y.

After selecting new members and electing officers, the boys had two lessons a week in preparation for the concert given at the Bowersocfl, April 18. The boys’ scene in the concert was a summer camp. The cook prepared the camp supper for the boys. Guns, fishing tackle, and all kinds ot camping paraphernalia lying around added gretaly to the realistic appearaace 0f the camp.

This was in preparation for the concert given in the Bowersock April 18. Mrs. Arnold, music teacher at Junior High School, supervised the work on Thursday. The concert htis year was even more elaborate than those of previous years. The scene represented a Japanese Garden, and required a great deal of planning. The cherry trees in blossom, lanterns, and tea house, added greatly to the beauty of the stage. Special features of the concert wrec the chorus work, w’hich had never been tried by the glee club before; the song, “To a Wild Rose,” the odd Japanese songs, and solo dancing. On the whole this year was most beneficial to all members.

After the membership campaign in the fall, which resuited in adding 50 members, the Hi-Y and Y. W. C. A. held their annual banquet. It was a well planned, and unique affair. There have been two conferences this year to which the Hi-Y has sent delegates. Ten boys from Lawrence attended the conference at Atchison.

This is the first year the club has had pins. Year books, with the covers decorated in the club colors, green and white, were made by a com- mittee and given to each member. The club has had very interesting programs. The meetings have been discussions of the historical study of the home. The topics began with the pre-historic age and were traced down to modem times. In the second term lectures on “Art in the Home” and Home Nursing” were given. A tea for the mothers of the members, at which the farce, Mrs. Oakley’s Telephone,” was given, was well attended. This year closed with a good picnic.

LHS iCe 192.1 Foot Ball Season, 1920 Our team this year worked under great handicaps. At the start of the season there were only four “L” men around whom to build a new team. We had a new coach, who had to get acquainted with the men and with whom the men had to become acquainted. The team had several setbacks because of injuries and other reasons. Not for ten years has Lawrence had such consistently bad football weather. Of the games played at home, the Abilene and Manhattan games were played on a muddy, sticky, field, while the Topeka game, played there, took place during a pouring rain with the field covered with water. Though lacking experience, the men deserve credit for fighting every minute they were in the game, and for developing a defense that was proof against all but the very strongest teams of the Middle West. Though losing some of the best material from the middle of the line this year, the High School should not be so hard put to find ser- viceable material next year. The season’s scores were: Lawrence....................... 0; St. Benedict’s................. 7 Lawrence....................... 7; Kansas City.................... 0 Lawrence.......................13; Abilene ...................... 0 Lawrence....................... 0; Manhattan .....................0 Lawrence...................... 0; Topeka........................ 0 Lawrence....................... 0; Beatrice, Nebraska ...........33 Lawrence....................... 0; Ft. Scott.....................14 Lawrence....................... 7; Iola.......................... 7 Coach Max Klein, entered upon his duty as coach of the L. H. S. athletics in September, 1920. With all the available material he turn- ed out a team that played Fort Scott for the state championship. In basketball he directed a team that was runner-up for the state title. Equally admired by the student body and fac- ulty, his coaching will long be remembered bv the players and rooters Bob I.aptad, left tackle and captain-elect, was one of the fastest, hardesi hitting tackles in the state. Bob had all kinds of bad luck this year. A twisted ankle kept him out of the St. Benedict's game and, later in the season, out of the Ft. Scott game. Our next year’s captain was a bitter ender, and when it was fourth down and a yard to go, he could think up more- sulphurous names to call our boys than the coach. Think of it! L. H. S. Harold Testerman, captain and right end, thought actions spoke louder than words, and when it came to breaking up the plays, his ac- tions spoke! Whether the play came through the middle of the line or around the opposite end, Testerman was always on the spot. Testy’s favorite stunt, when playing on the defensive, was to ramble behind the enemy’s line of scrim- mage and tackle the ball-lugger from behind, preferably for a five yard loss. Was it habit- ual? Just ask Houk’s how many shampoos Harold didn’t pay for. LHS SH7 Football Teani «-'■N Coach Klein Ulm Anderson W.

Stevenson lo C 190.1 j{i;d bl,ack -9Q Lawrence Woodruff, center, was probably the most experienced man on the High School team. His ability to handle more than one man on the offensive besides getting the ball started, made him an invaluable player. It was a char- acteristic of High School defensive playing that when the referee would start to untangle the players after some down, the fellow who car- ried the ball would be the last to get up and “Woody” would be next to last. This is Wood- ruff’s last year of high school football. George “Stirktiey Anderson, right tackle, was the High School’s best all around, general-util- ity player. Besides making himself a nuisance in the line, he could run with and kick the ball in a well-nigh superlative fashion. This is George’s last year in L. H. S. Marquis Huffman, right guard, was one of the big reasons for the team’s ability to gain through line smashes. Although playing a con- sistent game throughout the season, he show- ed up best in the Kansas City game when fully ninety per cent of the gains were made be- tween him and George Anderson. Marquis goes to K. U. next year. Johnny Stevenson was I awronce’s left end. The way iii which he held down his position was a credit both to himself and to the school. John- ny’s speed, experience, and ability to connect with the forward pass, is going to make him an extremely dangerous man to play against next year. Joel Chambers, left guard, after playing a rather mediocre game during the early part of the season, suddenly found himself in the Abi- lene game and showed he stuff that was really in him. Joe has the size and manly beauty to make a mean linesman. When he has properly mustered the art of how to handle himself and how to dispose of an onponent who is twice as heavy, he should develop into a raging terror and one in whose presence to quake. Joe Ulm was Iawrence’s scrappy quarterback. Joe might well have been called Pinky, for aft- er every game he would exhibit that rosebud tint where the tough hide used to be. Ques- tion: How did the other guys look after Joe got through with them? John Fuller, although ab'e to play only three games for I awrence showed himself during that time to be one of the best backfield men that had ever played for Lawrence. Unfortu- nately Fuller was twenty-one just before the Topeka game; so I awrence had to sacrifice his well-night irresistable line plunges and end runs. George Mackie came out for High School foot- ball for the first time this year. He was light enough to get over a muddy field, an all im- portant consideration in view of the playing conditions of most of the games. Needless to say his shifty running detracted not a whit from his usefulness. Francis Morwetz, fullback, could play footbaU a lot better than his first name would indicate. Resides toeing the bal' now and then, Morwetz could develop a mean step, and when he step- ped out, there was no one that could keep up with him. Lionel Semon, halfback, was a great man at backing up the line. When it came to nosing through a hole, “Speed” had no rival. Though little heralded in the daily news, and though often wont to grace the sidelines, particularly at the beginning of the season, Semon never- theless had real quality that was a material cause for the low scores run up against Law- rence. “Kenny” Stevenson, hafback and quarter, was not in enough games to earn his sweater, but shares with John Fuller the distinction of hav- ing made one of the two touchdowns credited to the backfield. This is “Stevy’s” last year. Johnnv Akers, sub quarterback, did not get to play all the games, but while in, he showed excellent football sense. His generalship was, indeed, almost faultless. “Phil” Saunders, tackle, was the best thing we could find to take Laptad’s place, while he was laid up with his twisted ankle. Phil is one of those boys who fears only the eligibility rules Should his mind not cave in under the strain of maintaining an “M” average in three subjects, Saunders should develop into a real linesman, for he shows promise. Huston Turner, fullback, though on’y a sopho- more, showed the makings of a valuable asset to the Lawrence team. Turner lacks only ex- perience to make a first class player. Gene” Perkins, end, though by no means bulky, could handle his man in a satisfactory fashion, whether on the offensive or defensive. Though not of first string calibre, “Perkie” formed a good reserve that could be counted on in a pinch. Forest Gilmore, guard, is one of the players on whose ability the success of next year’s team will largely depend. While the team has the backfield and the edges of the line practically untouched by graduation, it will lose three of its linemen, playing center, guard, and tackle, respectively, a loss which will prove a serious problem when it comes to building up a new machine next year. “Dutch Hunsinger, guard, though rather small for his position, made it up by his activity. “Dutch” made many opponents feel mad and foolish by turns, depending on what they tried to do. John Kirby, was one of the year’s disappoint- ments. Kirby early showed himself to be a line plunger and dropkicker of no mean ability, but a broken shoulder bone before the first game put him out for the entire season. Rill Hill, steady playing center, furnished “meat” for the first string players. Bill got in on more than one of the High School’s most important games, and carried himself well throughout each one. Justin Hill, quarterback, came out this year for the first time. Although unable to get into any of the games this year, he showed in scrim- mage that he will be a valuable man next year. Justin is a Junior. Joe “Scoop” Wellman, water-boy, small of statue and loud of mouth, was water squirter- in-chief for the squad this year. Although his memory often lapsed and he left his jug at the . M. C. A., still his service as thirst- quencher proved to be invaluable. Scoop made all the trips with the team this year, and it is hoped that he wiU follow the footsteps of his predecessor Mackie and become one of the star players next year.

The high school proved that it possessed the strongest team in Northeast Kansas, and a team which easily ranked as one of the best in the state. Though at times erratic, inclined to overconfidence, or lack of conf:dence, the team displayed brilliant playing, which made the home town rooter feel good from the gr und up. LHS ( I )C 19 21 i(E I) As a resume of the season the summary shows that the team lost three Ramos and won twenty- one. I awrence scored 671 points to its opponents 312. Ijiwrence hiRh school made a fine showing in the tournaments this year, winninR the district tournament at Baldwin and the runner-up cup at the state tournament. Joe Ulm, forward, was another biR reason for Lawrence’s showing this year. Joe was satisfied to have the team win a point, and working on this principle Joe played a passing Tusten Ackerman, center and captain, wrs the oustanding star of the team. “Tus” could play any position on the floor, and usually played all positions before the game was over. His playing was the deciding factor in every game and as was “Tus” so was the team. Though hitting a bad slump during the tourna- ment, he was the best all around center in both the district and state tournaments, and was chosen captain of the “all teams” at both places because of his superior playing and head work. During the regular seasons’ games, Ackerman was a terror to all basketball op- ponents, his spectacular shots from any posi- tion on the floor, and his perfect floor-work keeping the spectators on their feet all through the game. Harold Testerman. forward, was noted par- ticularly for his floorwork and goal punctur- ing ability. Testerman was one of the fastest men on the I-awrence team and used his ability in getting under the basket. Harold and “Tus” made a dangerous pair on the offensive, their team work being responsible for breaking up some of the best defenses in the state. Test- erman inherited a watered knee from the foot- ball season, which by the end of the regular basketball season was so badly infected that he was not allowed to play at the district meet. He was only allowed to play the last two games at the state tournament, the semi- finals with Winfield and the finals with New- ton. “Testy’s greatest value lay in the fact that he could be relied upon. His play was consistent game after game, always clean, hard fought, and fast. Though playing in only two games with a knee not yet healed, Testerman made the second all state team. George Mackie, guard, though built down close to the floor, knew a lot about basketball. In fact when a H. S. team played against the Weed-Mackie combination they learned a lot more basketball than they ever knew before. Mackie was an excellent floor man and could shoot goals when he wanted to. At both the game which netted the goals even if he did not get the credit for the actual hits. George Anderson, center, guard, was a hard man to shake loose from on the defense and was able to make all his set-ups count. George played in several games at both the state and district tournaments. James Weed, guard, though small, showed at the two tournaments some of the most spectacular guarding seen in years. His ten- dency to take the games too seriously, and play scientifically rough, kept “Birdie” from receiving the highest honors at the two tourn- aments. Weed was the only four year man on the team and was as hard as nails. With the season’s scores in mind it is only necessary in describing Weed’s playing to say that he was one of the factors in keeping the scores of the opponents low. Weed was made guard on the second district tourney team. Weed also scored many points by the free throw method. At the state tournament, Weed received honorable mention. Lionel Semon, guard, was a steady player, if not brilliant companion to Anderson, when the latter played at guard. Lionel started sev- eral games at the beginning of the season and got into several at the end of the season, al- though in competition with such material as Weed and Mackie. Paul Davis, center, proved a good floor man to play with. His inability to produce goals on a quantnty basis kept him from making a letter this year. Davis is a 30 credit man who is convinced that the varsity will need his ser- vices more than the high school next year, and is determined to get through the latter in three years. Burl Stugard, forward, was a good shot and active on his feet. If Burl could only play an- district and state tournaments George made the second team. Kenneth Stevenson, forward, was Lawrence's biggest surf rise at the two tournaments. While playing a good game during the season, Kennie entirely outplayed himself during the meets. With Testerman out of the game, it was Kennie's shooting that piled up the Law- rence end of the scores. Kennie made the district tournament first team and honorable mention at the state meet. other year he would prove a useful man in- deed. Orville Crites, forward, though ineligible during the last part of the season, was able to play in enough games to prove his worth. Samuel Weatherby was Lawrence’s general utility man. Sam played every position but center.

The only games played this season were inter-class, although some of the players substituted on the school team in the games with Haskell. The players showed up very well on these occasions, and their playing was quite consistent. Some good material was developed for the school team, due in large part to the interest and enthusiastic training given the team by Miss Giebrich.

The Girls Basketball team was allowed more freedom than usual this year. Games were sched- uled with Haskell and Oread High, and it was planned to enter the Kansas State Tournament, but lack of practice made the latter impractical. Competition for positions on the first team was keen and a larger number than of former years turned out for practice. — Three games were played, two with the girls’ team at Haskell and one with the Oread High Girls. The two games with Haskell proved disastrousfor the L. S. S. team. Most of the girls were play- ing their first game, and their lack of experience and ignorance of the Haskell court made it a fairly easy victory for the Indians. In the second contest much improvement was noticed, and the opponents were forced to fight for the game, winning by ten points. The one success of the season was when the team played against Oread High School on the L. H. S. courts and won by a large score. Much credit is due to Miss Doris Giebrich, the coach, who by giving much time and labor helped the team to the greatest degree. LHS Election Returns 1.
