MGR‘S.____ 4S 4 MH Foreword We have endeavored to make this book a true record of Lawrence High School during the past year. We have done our best to make it a suc- cess and we hope it will meet with your approval. Because this year marks the sixtieth anniversary of Quantrill’s raid, we have given prom- inence to the pioneer idea throughout the Annual. If in the years to come, while turning these pages, you find one picture, one verse that brings back to you the joys and memories of dear old Lawrence High, we shall count our work well done. The Staff. 1923 Red and Black History of Lawrence Lawrence High School owes much to those courageous men and women who, braving hardships and discomfort, came to the unknown land to make their home. Through the efforts of those pioneers have come our state, our city, and the high school that means so much to all of us. One of the first bands of settlers that came to Kansas built homes on the present site of Lawrence. The daring adventurers were soon joined by other homeseekers and by and by the little village became a scene of activity. The settlement was named Lawrence in gratitude to Amos A. Lawrence of Boston who had been of great assistance to the immigrants. Churches were built, a saw mill erected, and finally a hotel, on the same site as the present Eldridge House, was constructed. Two newspapers were established and soon after travelers came to make their homes in the growing town. Six months after the founding of Lawrence a school was opened in the office of Doctor Charles Robinson. Since that time the city’s progress along educational lines has been rapid. In 1864, the first building of Kansas University, old North College Hall, was erected on the hill where the first pioneers had pitched their tents. In 1866 the University was opened with three professors and forty students. Yearly the number of both instructors and pupils has increased until now the enrollment num- bers approximately five thousand. The educational institutions, founded by the early residents of Kansas, are the most valuable assets of the city. When the struggle between the North and South was approaching a crisis, the anti-slavery people of Lawrence had ever increasing trouble with the Southerners of Missouri. In 1861, Kansas, after a bitter struggle, was admitted into the Union under a free state constitution. During the Civil War, Lawrence suffered greatly. In 1863, just sixty years ago, the prosperous little town was devastated in the raid of the infamous guerilla, Quantrill. Many citizens were killed, among them a teacher in the city school. Numerous buildings, including the Eldridge Hotel, were burned. Property was destroyed and much plunder was car- ried away by the invaders. The close of the Civil War did not end the struggles of the hardy Lawrence pioneers. Because of drouths and the grasshopper plague, crops were very poor and times were very hard in the little city on the banks of the Kaw River. Then later, in 1903, came the flood, which left ruin in its wake. Since then the progress of the town has been mainly smooth and easy. Today, thanks to those brave pioneers, Lawrence is a thriving, prosperous little city of the middle west with a high school that takes this book as a means to express its gratitude for the service so unselfishly given. Page 2 ADMINISTRATION 1923 Red and Black The Old High School So it stands, with no complaint about its past youth, in blanched and meagre massiveness and serviceableness, gathering human souls together beneath it; the sound of its bell still rolling through the city; the grey peak of it seen far away,—the tower for life and the belfry for labor, and this for patience and praise.—John Ruskin. “What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the human soul.” Page 3 1923 Red and Black Manual ‘Building “Industry keeps the body healthy, the mind clear, the heart whole, and the purse full.” “Where memory loves to dwell; a scene of turbulent times.” Page 4 1923 Red and Black Liberty Memorial High School Liberty Memorial High School, that tribute of the citizens of Law- rence to those boys who lost their lives in the World War, has been almost completed. By next September, work will have been entirely finished and the new school year will begin in the modern and thoroughly equipped structure. Liberty High is one of the finest school buildings in the state. There is a large gymnasium which will delight the athletic fans (no more long trips to Haskell on cold wintry nights.) There is also a huge audi- torium with a stage and stage settings and properties that will be an everlasting pleasure to the Dramatic Club. The class rooms are large, light, and well ventilated; the halls wide, and the laboratory rooms com- pletely equipped. There will be everything to make pleasant the lives of the students. The present Senior class has long cherished hopes that it would have the privilege of being the first class graduated from the auditorium but it seems that this honor will fall to the class of ’24. Page 5 1923 Red and Black Hosford Pino Hill KirchhofT Boynton Grlosa Board of Education Lawrence may well be proud of the achieve- ments of the present board of education. Many citizens do not realize the time and energy that these men must spend if the high educational standards of our Lawrence schools are to be main- tained. The awarding of the contract for the build- ing and for the furniture of the new high school required experience and business ability. The financial readjustment made necessary by the loss by fire of one building added to the difficulties of the present board. The city of Lawrence expressed its apprecia- tion in a practical way in a recent election when it reelected three members whose terms had expired. Although the Senior Class has little opportun- ity to know the members of the board, yet it has felt the influence of their efforts and is proud to place this picture in the Memory Book of the last year in Lawrence high school. Page 6 1923 Red and Black Superintendent H. P. Smith Harry P. Smith has been superintendent of the Lawrence public schools since 1920. Before that time Mr. Smith held a similar position in the schools of Newton, Iowa and was also a member of the facul- ty of the Iowa State Teachers’ College. He is now connected with the Department of Education of the University of Kansas. He has done much to fur- ther the construction of the new high school build- ing and to increase the value of our educational system. Mr. Smith is an ardent backer of L. H. S. and through his efforts in its behalf has won the admiration of both the students and faculty. 1923 Rid and Black Frank Hart Olney “Pap’ Olney sometimes known as Frank Hart Olney, is recognized by every student of Lawrence High School as a true pal and comrade. As a sharer of our joys and sorrows, a partici- pant in our triumphs and defeats, he has endeared himself to the hearts of all. Page 1923 Red and Black 1 Clarence H. Speer has been a member of the Lawrence High School faculty for two years. Dur- ing this time he has, in his capacity of assistant principal, given proof of his administrative ability and has become a warm friend of the students. Miss Kate Riggs, dean of girls, has done much to establish and maintain high standards through- out the student body. Miss Riggs has the general supervision of the Lawrence branch of the Y. W. C. A. What would Lawrence High School do without Mrs. Himoe ? Who would lend a hand in our puzzling questions ? Who would hunt out the last freshman, wandering terrified through be- wildering classes and restore him to peaceful and familiar scenes? Who would locate that all important paper Pap needs at once? Worst of all, who would be so trusting when she writes our permits? Verily! What should we do without Mrs. Himoe? Page 9 1923 Red and Black EDITH COLE Domestic Art L. H.

They ought to have something to console them for the loss of the class of ’23. Peppy! Say, pep doesn’t express it. In the fall there were the elections. When the grand rush to the polls had subsided, it was found that Alonzo Sluss had been chosen to lead a mighty class through a mighty year. A picnic at Woodland Park started the social whirl. It was surprising, to say the least, to see dignified sen- iors disporting themselves in the games of their child- hood. In January, garbed in fantastic costumes of the Wild and Woolly West, they assembled in the Manual Gymnasium, leaving, by request, their six shooters at the door. At the senior play, those talented members of the class displayed their ability behind the footlights. Wild bursts of applause and beautiful bouquets were contributed by the audience. Seniors were the guests of the juniors at the Junior Prom. Then came the faculty party and last but not least, the senior girls’ breakfast. Mr. Mechlin, Mrs. Barrett, Miss McCreath, and Miss Harper put a lot of pep into all the performances. What would have happened without Mr. Mechlin and Miss McCreath at the parties, Mrs. Barrett on the annual, and Miss Harper at the play? Page 17 1923 Red and Black Alonzo Sluss Just one girl.

Plans were made for a bigger and better book than ever before (we hope you think we’ve succeeded). It was decided to make the size of the pages smaller, and to offset this decrease more pages were to be added. When the matter of the dedication came before the staff many suggestions were made and the poor old high school fairly rocked on its foundations in the earth quake that followed. “Pap,” of course, was high man; in fact, he was “all man.” But, sad to say, it seems the last year’s annual staff stole a march on us and put “Pap’s” picture in the front of their book. Now, to quote our battle cry, “we must do different.” We simply can not do anything that hints of copying our predecessors. Just cast your eyes through these pages. You must admit there’s little imi- tation of last year’s or any year’s annual (we point with pride at our elec- tions). So “Pap” was ruled out not from lack of affection but because like true seniors we must stand firm to our cause. Far into the day the battle waged until the sun burst through the dark clouds and the dedica- tion was decided without blood shed, (see front of book). In the weeks that followed this first fracas, we must admit that there were times when it seemed that some new uprising would “up rise.” Copy would be late, pictures would disappear, or another unthinkable disaster would occur that would dampen our happy spirits. But some how or other it would straighten itself out. Mrs. Barrett would pat our heads and tell us to keep on trying, that mistakes always happen. People not on the staff, to whom we are eternally grateful, would dash in to our aid, bringing contributions that would delight our weary hearts. So on we’d struggle (this may sound dramatic but we know it’s the cold bare truth) and at last by hook or by crook, mostly crook, every- thing was done and we, resting from our labors, lifted our voices and shouted aloud our war-whoop, “we must be different!” Page 35 1923 Red and Black Who’s Who for 1945” This is a special edition of Who’s Who compiled because of necessity. It is en- tirely composed of members of a famous class of a famous high school—1923 of Law- rence High. All its members have distinguished themselves in a world that has changed much in these twenty-two years. Some are statesmen, some are professionals, others have penetrated into the future, and others have recorded the past,—all are successful! As a foreword let me say that mention is not made in this book as to the state of marriage or single blessedness of its subjects. But be assured, that all who desired mar- riage had it and all who preferred their own company, kept it intact.

Page 39 1923 RtD and Black SENIOR PARTY Sisson Hopper Jones Arnold Engel Yates Brown Stimpson SENIOR WILD WEST PARTY Page 40 1923 Red and Black Senior Party “Boy, Howdy!” Didn't you haye a keen time at the senior “wild west” party? You weren't there? What fun you missed! I would like to be a cowboy the rest of my life. Nearly everyone was costumed and tried to look as rough as possible. Of course, our cowboy, Wendell Mc- Keever “took the cake” by showing up in all his real west- ern “togs.” Can you imagine Thayer Saylor keeping the pose of a dignified preacher all evening? After everybody got there we had a “spelling bee” and had to spell the name of the person opposite. We played several games during the evening when we weren’t eating or drinking. Sandwiches and pop were sold from the “bar.” The follies and the farce were given toward the close of the evening. They were both well received. Between the two performances the photographer nearly scared us to death by taking our pictures. That’s the reason you can’t recognize who’s who in the picture; we’re scared ’till we look amazingly unlike dignified seniors. After the farce a “Vir- ginia reel” was attempted but only Mr. Mechlin knew how to dance it. We had to tell Miss McCreath “goodbye’ ’and that gave us all the blues but in spite of that we all had a “rip-roar- ing” good time. —Eva Belle Lawrence. Page 41 1923 Reo and Black The High School Song (Tune—Crimson and the Blue) See that 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— Here’s to thee, dear Alma Mater; To you we’ll be true; When we strive in world and college Still we think of you.

Evans Edna Schaake Florence Mull Nellie Yates Leona Marsh Miss Neely Miss Blackburn Mr. Riggs To classify the members of the famous class of '24 as toi their physical appear- ance, they are found to be tall and short, stout and thin, some with their hair parted neatly in the middle, some on the side, some combed smoothly back in comely pompa- dour and many with naturally or artificially curly “bobs.” The achievements of the juniors are enormous and would easily fill an interesting book; probably Rose McCol- loch, their noted author will condescend to write one some day. In the first place they have dandy officers and a number of notables that will probably be persuaded to leave for the motion picture world. Lucile Evans is their president and Miss Black- burn, Miss Neely, and Mr. Riggs their faithful advisers. If you really knew these famous people there would be no question in your mind why the Junior Class is what it is. The fall picnic was a great success and for once the weather was favorable. At the valentine party all had a merry time, admiring the graceful chorus and eating almost beyond capacity. As to the “Prom” it was one of those glorious accomplish- ments which only the class of '24 could achieve. Page 49 1923 Red and Black Junior Prom The twinkling and blinking of candles welcomed the Seniors to their birthday party given for them by the Juniors on the thirteenth day of April, nineteen hundred and twenty three. Madge and Marie Gaunt, Ruth Wellman, and Florence Mull sang a birthday song, the words of which were composed by Josephine Klein, before the procession entered the dining room. Over five hundred birthday cakes were used, the largest being the center of the decoration. The Senior colors, turquoise and silver, were used in the decorations. “A bit of gossip” was told by Tom Harley and Virginia Hutson between courses and during the meal violin music was furnished. The waitresses, who flitted in and out the room, were dressed as four-year-olds in white dresses and big hair bows. At the close of the meal, the large cake was cut by Mary Sisson and each per- son present received a taste of it. The toasts, as given by Moyne Rice, Mary Engle, Leonard O’Bryon, and Alonzo Sluss, represented the four years in the lives of the Seniors. Before the farce was given, Vena Bolin, assisted by a chorus, sang, “The Old Apple Tree,” and Thelma Edmondson, assisted by Madge and Marie Gaunt, Bertha Alice Perkins, Nellie Yates, Florence Mull, and Ruth Wellman danced and sang ‘ Chansonette.” The farce, “Her Deaf Ear,” presented many amusing situations, and was well given by Josephine Hosford, as the old maiden aunt, Jeanette Bowersock, as her niece, Myron Kennedy, as the aunt’s choice for her niece, and Leland Barrows, as the choice of the niece. Much credit must be given Miss Blackburn, Miss Neely, and Mr. Riggs, the Junior advisers, who assisted the managers, Rose McColloch and Penfield Jones, in planning the Pram. Rose McColloch. The Junior Valentine Party The Juniors had a party, ’Twas near St. Valentine’s Day, They had it in the Manual Gym, With a dandy good time, they say. The entertainment there was great, So the boys and girls agree, They all shot arrows into hearts, To learn their fate, you see. Then came the talking Valentine, In costume, quaint and neat. And next the singing Valentine, With a love song, soft and sweet. The dancing Valentines were great, With grace and ease they danced. And every one did cheer them back, Because they were entranced. The living Valentine was last, With favors for us all, And as she danced she tossed to us, Bright Valentines so small. At last we had delicious eats, Best part of all, you know. Then all of us did say good-bye, And homeward we did go. —Josephine Hosford.

About the middle of the evening punch was served from the old town well and everyone plucked from a tree close by, a cherry which contained a juicy bit of gossip. Then followed games, a program, and last but not least “eats’ consisting of hatchet shaped cakes and ice cream. Everyone had a good time. Page 51 1923 Red and Black Sophomore Class History On one of these beautiful lazy spring days I was sitting in the laboratory, like many others with nothing to do, when the fumes from the dissecting pan raised my spiritual being above this world. There appeared before me two angels, who proved to be the recording angels of our sophomore class. When I perceived this, I made bold to ask the privilege of taking some notes, part of which I thought would be of interest to the friends of the class. Many of those of special interest to the faculty have been omitted by request. The first note I took from the recording angels was that four of our mem- bers were elected to this year’s Student Council. They were Gyneth Stugard, Helen Cady, Oliver Hobbs, and Verl Bratton. The next note of importance that I gained from the recording angels was the election of class officers. Andrew Hughes was elected president, Gyneth Stugard vice-president, Dorothy Gregg secretary, Kennard Kennedy treasurer, and Evelyn Burton reporter. Miss Spangler and Mr. Fariss were chosen for the class advisers. The angels said that this class was composed of many wide awake, willing at Brown’s Grove. Only a small part of the class was present. I then gained the knowledge that the sophomores were well represented in the Classical Club, the Lolan Society, the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs, the Hi-Y and Y. W., the Home Economics Club, the Press Club, and the Debate Club. The last note of importance that the recording angels gave me was about a party. It seems the sophomores held a Colonial party on February 23, in the Manual Gymnasium. Much fun and frolic and many good eats were enjoyed by those present. The angels said that this class was composed of many wideawake, willing workers who have not only made a name for themselves this year, but they will be recognized by their superior work throughout their entire course.

W. C. A. My chum and I lingered for a few moments beside the dying coals of the Y W. C. A. spring camp-fire. “It’s been a good year to us, hasn’t it?” I said to her as we turned away from the fire and started down the path that led across the bridge. “One that we shall remember all our lives,” she answered. Then as we crossed the campus on our way home we talked over the good times that our Y. W. C. A. had given us. The fall and spring camp-fires, the recognition services held twice during the year for the in coming freshmen, the day when we filled to overflowing five huge baskets with Thanksgiving good things and the wild ride that some of us had on Thanksgiving Eve to deliver them; the firelight and candle- light of our Christmas meeting and the dear tree our Service committee decorated and gave; the lovely meeting our Freshman girls led and the discussional meetings where we girls learned the proper school ethics and etiquette; and our Estes Park meeting where we tried to give all the girls a whiff of mountain air; our joint programs with the Hi-Y of which the most beautiful was the one given in Chapel at Christmas time where we told the Christmas story in carols and tab- leaux. Then our lovely Easter Sunrise service and our once-a-week quiet hours, when for a few minutes before school we met in Miss Riggs’ room and started the day with a hekful thought and a prayer. And we did not forget our two big parties—our Hallowe’en party, for every girl in high school; where witches and ghosts and goblins frolicked and feasted—and then the lovely Mothers’ Tea which we gave in the spring. “Yes,” I said. “It’s all been worth while, and the best part of it is that another group of girls will plan even lovelier things another year, and the Y. W. C. A. will go on inspiring and helping all the girls in dear old ii H .S. —Mary Sisson ‘Who were you walking with this morning?” inquired Mabel, of her friend Jeanne, as they entered the Y. W. room. “Oh, a new Freshman girl, who just moved in next-door. I hadn’t forgotten that Y. W. C. A. meeting where the Frashman girls pictured their first forlorn six weeks in high school.” “Oh, you good Samaritan,” said her friend, with a laugh. “I suppose I ought to have gone to the meeting, but since “Fury” was here that afternoon, I just had to see it.” Jeanne made no reply to her friend’s remark. She had wanted to attend the picture show, too, but had gone to Y. W C. A. instead. “Let me have your Civics notebook to copy,” said Mabel. “I—don’t want—to—to lend—it!” Jeanne stammered. Mabel eyed her friend queerly. “Why, Jeanne Smith! You gave it to me before.” “I know--but-oh Mabel, why don’t you get it yourself? It’s not being square with either you or me, to have you copy my work.” Never, in their long years of friendship, had Jeanne ever refused any informa- tion to Mabel. It set her thinking. She spent the evening at the library securing the desired information, and the contents of her notebook, which she handed in the following day, were not borrowed, but her own and she had not lost her self-respect. How fortunate the girls of Lawrence High School are to have such an organization as the Y. W. C. A., where they may learn how to live their lives at their best—and how to mean most to other people. The membership is not limited, but is open to every girl in the high school. Because of this, the Y. W. C. A. is the largest and most democratic organization for girls in L. H. S.

J.—And “The Big Brown Bear.” Miss Barnhart can certainly get results from that Girls’ Glee Club. M.—Weren’t those the most foolish songs everyone sang. “Stand up, stand up, stand up Miss Wood, stand up stand up. Sit down, sit down Miss Wood, sit down.” They sang it for most of the teachers, “Pap” and “Mrs. Pap”, dates, men teachers, better halves, and every class. But when they sang about “Old MacDonald Had a Farm,” I thought I’d die. There really ought to be a radio verse on that considering it was a radio banquet. J.“Pap” always makes the best toastmaster. Chief operator, this time, though. And when Frank Strong got up to give his— M.—Yeah, the “Bedtime Story.” I thought I’d die. That crazy ’Possum and his April Fool pies. J.—Rose’s reading for “Ladies’ Hour” was awfully good, wasn't it? M.—Wouldn’t you like to see some old farmer man tuck a napkin in his collar at a formal dinner party? Whooee. J-—Oh, honey, didn’t Roland Brown express so nicely that each of us are detectors for the receiving station G. 0. D. M.—Mary Sisson said about the same thing in “Aerials.” That was the first time Dean Dyer has talked to us, and I heard a lot of people sav they liked his “Amplifiers.” J.—But Mary, honey, wasn’t that pitiful about the telegram for the boys? M.—Yeah. All that “Hi-Y and Y. W. cheering for the team wasted.” J.—Well, let’s go home and forget it. Page 57 Page 58 Y. W. C. A. Finit Row (Back) Hosford Mnnih Weatherby B.

Beginning at this time and following through the next two weeks a membership campaign was carried on which netted seventy members. The club has met regularly every Tuesday evening for Bible study and discussion of various topics per- taining to the better social development of the high school boy. Cabinet meetings have been held nearly every Sunday afternoon for consideration of plans for carrying on the work of the club. Two joint meetings were held with the Y. W. C. A. at the Congregational Parish House. The speakers at these meetings were Dean Kent and the Reverend Mr. Edwards. The annual Hi-Y-Y. W. banquet was given at Wiedemann's Grill Room on January thirteenth. On March 22 the club received its affiliation certificates from the State Committee. Chapel in charge of the Hi-Y was held April ninth at which time a sum of money was raised for the support of Y. W. C. A. work in China. 1923 Red and Black 09 i6u ! Hi-Y Cabinet Hilkcy S.

The step from a fortnightly paper to a weekly one, with the same staff and financial re- sources, has been a dizzy elevation. The Budget staff of 1922-23 has reached the goal that was the aim of five successive former staffs. The editor-in-chief, having held the Budget's helm for a year, retired at the close of the first semester. Yielding to the lure of the grease paint and high school footlights, an advertising manager shifted his' Budget time to dramatics. The retiring editor-in-chief gave a dinner at his home Thursday, January 25. It was the last meeting for the entire staff of 1922. The William Allen White Press Club has been a substantial aid in the paper’s progress this year. This organization is typical of the expanding activities in Law- rence High School which have helped create a need for a weekly paper.

H. S. held its meetings. Under able advisers, Miss Mildred Newman and Miss Ivah Belle Harper, O’ita has up- held its fine reputation. Regular meetings have been instructive and interesting, among the most unique features of which were: the wiitin and presentation of a clever farce, reports on interviews, and the study of famous .operas and dramas. The society also furnished a program for the P. T. A. and gave prizes for the best short stories in the annual O’ita short story contest. Social activities began with an initiation party in October at the home of Esther Jane Jones where the mysteries of O’ita were disclosed in thrilling fashion to the new girls. During the holidays a dance was given at the home of Margaret Posey, and a big spring farewell ended the year’s functions. O’ita is noted for its high standards and congenial and efficient membership. May it grow in power and lead in literary activities in the future even more than it has in the past. Leona Marsh. Late.

Oh! would that my tongue could utter, The thoughts that arise in me. 0 well for the good little boy Who’s on time with his sister each day. 0 well for the good little girl Who doesn’t loiter along the way.

Although a recent addi- tion to the list of Lawrence High School activities, nevertheless, Lolan forms one of the most popular and progressive societies. Through it and its big sister, the O’ita, the scholarship has been raised, since only girls in good scholastic standing are eligible for membership. During the past year, the organization has done much beside furthering its literary aims. An initiation for the new members started the good times last fall. This was followed by a grub and many other social meetings which were greatly en- joyed by the girls. The practice of earning the money with which to buy their pins was originated this year by the Lolans. By selling candy and sandwiches they managed to raise the sum necessary to purchase pins for all those who needed them. Miss Sadie McMillan and Miss Martha Rayhill have been the advisers of the society for ’22- 23. With the counsel and assistance of these capable teachers, the Lolans have finished a successful year and are looking forward with pleasure to an even more active organization next fall.

Page 68 1923 Red and Black “Commencement Days” P D Q is electrifying the ether with tuneful waves—waves of excitement, praise, and friendly criticism! Lawrence High Dramatic Club has astonished the school with a huge histrionic feat. “Commencement Days,” a play for the ages, has been happily put over and it is an assured social and financial success. It was a heterogeneous conglomeration of scandalizing mistakes and side- splitting jokes, a curious collection of entries at once too late and too early, and moments fraught with nerve-racking anxiety and hopeless despondency. There were the usual mistakes and the usual attempts to cover them up and make the best of precarious situations but through it all the cast maintained a wonderful state of self confidence augmented by a complete knowledge of lines and unconcealed desire to do its best. Before the curtain went up, all the players were in a ridiculous state of actual physical agitation. Cheeks were burning and hands were icy. At last all the participants were satisfactorily powdered and painted. The stage was set. There was a moment of dead silence, then the signal was given. The curtain went up and the play was on!! From the very beginning, the production went through with a singular snap and nerve which certainly helped to make it the decided success it was. The play was set in a college and the first curtain disclosed Mary Nell Hamilton blithely humming and making fudge, while Marian Meader was tidying her room. Then Ester Jane Jones, a verdant freshman, came in with her arms full of flowers (artificial, of course.) The twins, who weren’t really twins, were altogether bewildering. The two Hopper girls were picked for them in the original cast, but Frances fell ill and Rose McColloch ably took her part. When decked in duplicate clothes, they really were astonishingly similar. Junius Underwood, that brick red, awkward and humorous suitor of one of them (he never knew which) certainly looked and acted his part. Elizabeth Cain as the poor little misunderstood girl most creditably held the lead throughout the entire play. Our sympathies were with her when she was accused of stealing the athletic fund and all because she wore silver slippers exactly like the real thief. Such humble sweetness mingled with stubborn pride made an irresistible combination and all breathed a profound sigh of relief when she was exonerated from all blame. Moyne Rice and Helen Gragg lent color to the play by their widely diversified hobbies which were bugs and basketball respectively. Leonard O’Bryon and Rollin Posey were both able suitors and actors though hardly to be spoken of in the same breath, they were so different. Homer Allison as a detective, pursued well and efficiently the elusive but repentant thief, Francis Teter. Bradley Judy was ever there to be fussed over and cajoled because the years of the world rested heavily on his head. During it all Leona Marsh, as a grave and serious house-mother, kept down the pent up exuberance of her merry charges. All lived in terror of “the Storm.” There were many fallacies of dress. Everywhere were heard questions about some article of probably borrowed finery which was temporarily submerged in a sea of much tossed about property. To Miss Harper, the coach who worked hard and unceasingly, a vote of heart-felt and gracious thanks is given. She sustained the courage and industry of all to an end which was pronounced a decided success. —Elizabeth Cain.

Other Orphans: Willie Roe, Willard Fox, Philip Ernst, Laura Campbell, Ethel Oatman, Vera Fairbairn. Another reason for the success of the play was the untiring efforts of Leta Maude Harper, the coach. Edward Foster, Bradley Judy, and Elizabeth Walker, were very efficient business managers, at least they seemed to bring in the money. Ted Burnett, although he was a professed woman hater at the beginning of the play changed his mind when he came to know Judy (but perhaps that’s natural with men.) Judy thought she could love no one better than “dear Daddy Long Legs,” but found her ideas changed when she met that fascinating personage, Jervis Pendleton. Oh, how lucky for those who attend Lawrence High School that Aleene Carter is not the fearful Mrs. Lippett of the orphan asylum. One might have thought that the poor, halftarved, lifeless orphans of the home were truly homeless waifs. But really, you would be surprised if you were to see them warking down the street as if they weren’t afraid of any one, not even Mrs. Lippett. There are, in this world, some men who are like Abner Parsons and Cyrus Wykoff, but let us hope that Roland Brown and Francis Teter will never make men of this character. Miss Prichard seemed to be such a human creature and to take an interest in rich and poor alike. Just think, if it hadn’t been for Miss Prichard, Judy would probably be a little slavey washing dishes. Can you imagine more perfect housekeepers than Julia Pendleton and Sallie McBride? Wasn’t that a clever idea to keep the tea in the bookcase? (Always handy, you know!) I wonder how many people have put the idea into practical use? There are a few of the descendants of the old aristocratic families left today, and in Mrs. Pendleton we found a typical descendent. She was very particular about the people her daughter met, and was never able to see the real quality of a person. Elsie Hopper played the part of the aristocrat exceedingly well. Helen Gragg had a difficult part to play, but she played it so well that one might have thought she had lived on a farm all her life. I suppose one never realized a telephone could keep one so busy as Mrs. Sample’s kept her (but it can if you are on a party line.) Mrs. Semple had a charming maid, Carrie, if you remember. That reminds me of Jimmie. Oh, I beg your pardon—Mr. James McBride. Junius Underwood was unusually good in this part. As usual he kept the audience laughing from beginning to end. Daddy Long Legs had two very devoted attendants (which is more than the most of us can say.) The part of Griggs, the secretary, was played by Carl Gauch, and Walters, the butler, was played by Arlo Hults. —Lucille Lowe.

Because of the success of the operetta given last year, the girls helped to give another charming operetta “In Old Louisianna.” Several girls took active parts and proved to be very talented. The Glee Club has certainly been an active organization this past yenr and also intends to do more things of importance in the future. With Miss Barnhart as supervisor, the girls were enabled to learn many difficult songs. THELMA EDMONDSON. 1923 Red and Black ii j6uj SECOND GIRL’S GLEE CLUB Howard 8waln CMmd Tobler Opal B.

The Possibilities of a Teacher, by Supt. O. J. Lane. Consolidation of Rural Schools, by T. J. Smart. Two successful entertainments have been given this year: one at White school and one at Kanwaka. The girls have been bent on having all the fun they can before they become dignified teachers. The Hallo- we'en and Christmas parties carried out the spirit.

One thing the club did last year was to stage the First Annual Northeast Stock Judging Contest, which was held here in April. There were about one hundred and twenty-five boys from all schools in the vicinity. This year Charles Paul was elected President. The forming of a constitution was the first thing ac- complished this year. The club had teams for football, basketball, and baseball.

Since that time the mem- bership has steadily increased and the organization is now a thriving one. The club has been very active during the past year. Much was accomplished to build and strengthen it into a lasting league. Meetings were held each week and interesting programs were given. The first meeting of each month was devoted to adjusting all business matters that had arisen during the past four weeks. At the other sessions, musical or literary programs were given. These proved very entertaining and were much enjoyed by the girls, all of whom took part, either in the performances or in the discussions that followed. In this manner every member was brought into active participation. Three very profit- able and interesting meetings of the musical variety have been held this year. Mrs. Ike Miller has been the sponsor for the club during the past year and has greatly assisted the girls in their undertakings.

The officers were ably assisted by the advisors, Mr. McCalep and Mr. Goodwin, who have done much toward making the club what it is. Several good speakers were secured to talk to the boys at times throughout the year. Among them were Dr. Cabell, the Reverend Mr. Jackson, the Reverend Mr. Green, Mr. C. A. Speer, and Captain Harvey. Five delegates were sent to the Older Boys’ Conference at Topeka. These were George McCalep, James Scott, Charles Chieks, George Brown, and Charles Shepherd. They returned with many new ideas. Altogether the club has had an unusually successful year. —Charles Chieks. Page 85 1923 Re� and Black HOW TO MEASURE THE VOID ABOVE YOUR EARS.

However the victory was later forfeited because Akers was declared ineligible. Emporia gave the Red and Black eleven its first taste of defeat. It won the game on a block punt and a set kick. The score was 10 to 7. Flashing the best brand of football displayed in the season, L. H. S. defeated Argentine 20 to 7. This contest was full of thrills and one of the best played on the Stadium this year. Overconfidence was given as one of the reasons for the poor showing of the team against Manhattan when Lawrence came home with the short end of a 19 to 6 Lawrence avenged the defeat suffered by the Kansas City, Kansas team last year, by piling up a 13 to 0 score. Playing Ottawa under a handicap by not having Capt. Mackie in the lineup, Lawrence did well to tie the game. The score was 13 to 13. The Red and Black eleven played an uphill game from the start and only the passing ability of the team saved them from defeat. Iola gave the team another taste of defeat, 7 to 6. The game was played in mud and rain. Lawrence was completely outclassed by Topeka. The Topeka team flashed an offense which was impossible to stop� The score was 23 to 0. The scores for the 1922 football season seem to show that the season was a fail- ure. However the team played under handicaps during the entire season. First Akeis was declared ineligible, then Crites, and last Mackie suffered a cracked ankle in the Kansas City, Kansas game. Taking the dope in a roundabout way Lawrence had a winning team. She tied Ottawa, one of the teams claiming state honors, and the Red and Black team defeated Argentine who defeated most of the strong teams in Eastern Kansas and Western Mis- souri.

I', next fall.. Edmondson started the season in a whirlwind fashion, but was kept out of the mid-season «ames on account of Injuries. Ho played tack- le and is expected to hold down the right side of the foreward line next year. He Is captain for the 1923 season. Lindley, playing his second and last year for I... H. S.. was a real star in the back field. He was a triple treat man. able to pass accurately, punt well, and as a ball lugger he was one of the best In the state. His broken field runn'ng was the cause of several touchdowns for Law- rence. Lnptad played his fourth year on the high school team. He played his usual hard game at tackle. He was captain of the 1921 Eleven and expects to enter K. S. A. C. next year. Saunders, Phil, received a letter this year. He was declared Ineligible just before the Topeka game on account of age. Phil is a hard worker and has played on the team two years. Davidson was the main strength in the centre of the line. Besides showing uncanny ability to break up the opposing teams plunges, he in- tercepted passes In every game except one. Dutch” is playing his second and last year on the team. He expects to enter K. l next fall. Saunders, Harold, played his first year for I,. H. S. and showed his stuff at guard. He is expected to hold down a guard next year. Turner played tackle In the first games of the season, but later was shifted to the back field, where he showed an ability as a line plunger. He Is expected to be one of the stars next year. Crltes held down the other wing position until he was declared ineligible. He played his best on the offense, grabbing pass after pass in the Ottawa game. Dunham won his letter this year after consist- ent playing. (He replaced Crltes at end. This is his last year in school. E-dwards played his first year for L. H. S. He showed up well at fulback and is expected to go good next year. Young was laid up with Injuries In the mid season, but showed his ability to hold down the tackle position. He Is expected to hold up the left side of the line next year. Hutton was the man called upon to fill Akers’ place at half. Hutton was sub on Rook’s.” cver-vlctorious and after being ineligible for two years snapped out of it and proved his ability as a football player. Wee be r graduated in the mid-year and expects to enroll at K. U. Rice played a steady game at guard all during the season. He was a hard marker and he will be missed next year. Wellman, water boy for two years, surprised everyl ody by throwing down the old brown jug” and taking up the helm at quarter back. He was a steady player and pulled the team out of many tight places. He did all the punting and outclassed all his opponents in the kicking game. Ho was also a very good open field run- ner. Tom Mackle, known as Cotton Top. was an- notated water carrier for the 1922 season and thus started in the same steps as his brother toward a football career. Quinlln, playing bis second year at guard, was one of the main factors of the line. He was a fast charger and broke up many of the oppo- nents’ plays before they were started. Dowers, playing his first year for L. H. S.. proved a valuable man at end. He should de- velop into a real star next year. Hughes was a genoral utility man this year: he alternated between centre and end. Page 94 1923 Red and Black Paye 95 I’nge 96 FOOT BALL TEAM P. Saunders Klein H.

The Kansas City team finally won by overcoming a six point lead in the last minutes of play. On the eve of the District Tourney, Edwards and Dowers were declared ineligible and so put out the bright hopes that Lawrence had in winning the meet.

When a freshman, he played on “Rook” Woodward’s Ever Victorious Five and the next year he was chosen on the second all-State five at the State Tourney and has been chosen on the all district team for the last three years. Mackie was the back bone of the team this year. STANLEY LINDLEY i Lindley was captain of the five this year and was played wherever he was needed most. At the start of the season he was used as guard! and then shifted to center and later used at forward. Lindley is a player of high calibre and was high point man with 115 points scored. DONALD DOWERS Dowers, captain elect, was one of the main cogs in the defense this year. He did not receive a letter this year because he was only eligible for eight games. He was elected captain for '24 because of his good work this year and last. JOHN AKERS Akers was ineligible until the second semester but with the starting of the new semester John was the main cog in the offense. He was second high point man with 100 points scored. This is Akers’ last year in L. H. S. He expects to enter K. U. in the fall. PHILIP EDWARDS Edwards was used as forward with Akers until the • tournament when he was declared ineligible. He won a letter last year and will be back next year to play on the team. He was third in the scoring with 50 points. CORNELIUS PROVOST Provost, otherwise known as the “Sheik,” plyaed his first and last year on the L. H. S. squad. He looked good in the opening game at K. C., going in the game in the last few minutes and scoring two field goals from the middle of the court. He was handicapped because of his size and was not given much chance to show his worth in the latter part of the season. LEWIS DAVIDSON Davidson was used at center in the first of the season, but was taken sick with flu and didn’t recover in time to play until the most of the games were played. He was used at guard in the latter part of the season. This is Davidson’s last year in L. H. S. PEN FIELD JONES Jones was one of the scrappiest little players on the team. What ever “Penny” lacked in size he made up in speed and playing abilitv. He has one more year on the L. H. S. team. PAUL COKER Coker was held to be the main cog in the offense of the team this year but he was declared ineligible after the first semester. He was fast on the floor and an exert dribbler. He was a dead shot under the basket. Coker has one more year in L. H. S. JACK QUINLIN Quinlin did not come out for basket ball until the season was half over. He was therefore under a handicap and did not get going his best until the Baldwin tournament. Jack was a dead shot from under the basket and he was also a good floor man. John Kennedy, Sam Pelzie, and Roy Houser, played in some of the games this year. They all graduate this spring. Page 100 1923 Red and Black Girls’ Basket Ball Mo A forty Testerman Rhodos Sneeprns I-apt ad Marsh Pino Girls’ Basket Ball “Foul ball, guard out!” calls Miss Rhodes. A guard jumps outside the line and grabs the ball. The whistle blows. “Play!” comes the order and the ball is going again. Such are some of the sounds that come from the “chicken-coop” on Monday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30. Classes are over and four senior's, three juniors, two sophs, and three freshmen are having a grand time. The team did not get to play outside of the “coop” this year because Haskell girls were not playing. But they had oodles of fun practicing. They hope that next year’s team will play Haskell and Oread and come out 100 to 50 for L. H. S. The whistle! “Time up.” —Lois Laptad. Page Id 1923 Red and Black “L”.

Student—“I’d lower the machine by a rope and then measure the rope. If one were to stop in the study hall and listen to the different sounds that break upon the stillness, he would hear many strange ones indeed. The sound of crinkling paper, the tap of a pencil on a desk, the tearing of paper, all mingle together with the sound of scraping feet upon the floor. Soon to our ears, comes the sound of a squeaky seat being raised, next we hear steps across the room, and then comes the scrunch, scrunch, scrunch, of the pencil sharpener, the scratching of a pen mingles with the rub of an eraser, and the opening and closing of books, and the sound of page after page being turned, all add to the noise in the room. As bell-time draws near the room becomes more noisy. Not heeding the wistful glances of the pupils, the study hall clock ticks merrily on. —Mary Louise Emley.

He found Her in -the kitchen And to Her His plight He said. She wept hot tears of sympathy; He caught Her to His breast And held Her closely to Him With Her head upon His chest. His eyes were closed, His teeth were clenched, He stood there like a stone; Then suddenly burst from Him A sob—a hopeless groan— “Oh! Oh!” He cried, “I can’t stand this!” And far from Him He cast Her, For He was a poor man with a cold And She was a Mustard Plaster. Kennedy Ernst Hardware and Athletic Supplies S26 Mass.

St. Kaw Valley Creamery Page 123 1923 Red and Black Farewell to thee, Old School, that’s sheltered us on cold and stormy weather when Potter’s frozen surface called the crowd together with clank- ing skates. How we did hate to sit in your warm rooms and sweep the cob- webs from our brains with scratchy brooms. And hottest days when na- ture called aloud as we sat visioning the happiest crowd at “Wiedies” de- vouring cooling drinks; for we knew with pockets flat the total “pool” could not go deeper than the fountain stuff, then we hated school. But as the years go by, will we recall the hard lessons, the flunks, the office calls ? Or will it be the crowded halls, the hurrying feet, the laughing faces that we meet in passing from one class room to another; the teachers waiting there? Will we not feel that all the freedom of the great outside we’d give—and gladly, for just one day in this old school, with its routine of lessons, work and play ? —Nellie Yates. A woodpecker lit on a freshman’s head, And settled down to drill; He bored away for half a day And finally broke his bill. Quality and Workmanship Kennedy Plumbing Co. 937 Mass. St. Lawrence, Ks.

As we pass thru the halls on our way to class ? Is there any reason why a smile should die When it meets a gleam from a teach- er’s eye ? Isn’t life for living as well as to learn ? Must fun meet a frown at every turn ? Must we hide in a corner to tell a joke? Must we take all our happiness to some other folk And leave the teachers to gloom and despair? Treat them in a way that isn’t quite fair? They’re alive and human and v e’ll find in the end That a High School teacher’s a fel- low’s best friend. —Nellie Yates. Mr. Klein—What are you doin?

Jewel Box I There are jewels that always outlast their settings. Gold mountings wear away with years; but the subtle gleams of the precious stones do not die. They sparkle from their settings, like familiar pictures on strange walls. Those jewels, now shining in the time- worn setting of the Lawrence high school office, will have a new background next year. Principal Olney, the 4 Pap” of our high school days, and Mrs. Himoe, the per- mit Lady Bountiful, will shine in the splen- dor of the new Liberty Memorial high school. All those for whom the new school was erected, have helped to form the gold of the setting. They, too, knew the jewels that are to sparkle there, and loved their light, even as the Senior Class of 1923, as loved their radiance. —Frances Beverstock.

We’ve tried to reach you all; a nice little pat to help you through the sum- mer and, here and there, a.gentle dig; just in case you begin to feel too knowing of your own importance. If the pat pleases you, we are glad. If the knock causes you to rise up in your wrath and seek us with a club, we should worry, for summer will have come and we shall not be here. So just grin and bear it and remember that life isn’t always a beautiful bouquet. There’s many a thorn ’mongs’t the roses, take it from us, we know! The Staff. Page 130 ■ V . «- ■ ; ••
