GRIESA DEDICATION To FRANK HART OLNEY (The rare honor of being made Principal Emeritus came this year to Mr. Olney when he resigned active duty as Principal of L. M. H. S.) Just as the days of knights and chivalry are recalled in books, which we read with a certain indescribable ad- miration, “Pap” will be remembered by us as we pass on to our life’s work. Pap’s middle name is “Hart”, but they accidentally left out the “e”, for he certainly has one. An assembly or a game, a debate or a banquet, not to mention an enrollment or a dull school day, would be hard to imagine without a cherry smile, or a kind word from Pap. “And there be those who deem him more than any man. And dream he dropped from heaven.” SUPERINTENDENT H. P. SMITH Superintendent Smith, on leave of absence, has spent the year at the Teacher’s College of Columbia, New York, where he has completed his work for a doctor’s degree. We have not forgotten what he has done for L. M. H. S. in the past, and welcome him back to Lawrence, where he will continue his work in the fall. ACTING SUPT. M. C. DEL MANZO Although Mr. Del Manzo, of the University of Iowa, has been with us for only a short time, the students and faculty of L. M. H. S. feel that “Del” is a real friend—one whom we wish to keep always. His keen understanding of boys and girls and his slogan, “Put Lawrence on the Map,” which always remind us of his loyalty for our school, whether in the class room, or on the athletic field, has been appreciated by everyone. We are sorry that he is leaving us, but we will look forward to the time when he will surely return as an old friend. “And he did dwell with us for but a year.” The Faculty 1925 MISS HARTMAN Board of Education MRS.

Endsley Jones became our champion In our jolly Junior year And of a more successful “Prom” We believe that you’ll never hear. Of the strong and able seniors John Foster was the president With work and parties aplenty, A profitable year was spent. Now we leave our Alma Mater, But still we can never forget The splendid times or the troubles Ah yes; we remember you yet. The Senior Honor Roll Karney Brasfield Thomas Cable Arthur Eastman Frank Strong Dorothy Shaad Gyneth Stugard Mildred Wilson Quentin Newcombe Anita Horton Nine members of the class of ’25 received L’s in recognition of their high scholastic standing maintained throughout the high school course. To arrive at the scholarship standard, an average of one and five tenths, or below, for each year’s work is necessary- (The average is computed by adding the number of E’s to the number of G’s multiplied by two, the M’s multiplied by three, and the P’s muliplied by four, and dividing the total by the number of the student’s credits.) This is the first year that the number of boys has exceeded the number of girls on the Sen- ior Honor Roll. Those students received honorable mention for maintaining an aver- age of G, or above: Marjorie Bronson, Helen Cady, Ruth Clauser, Norvel Douglas, Florence Edmonds, Margaret Fritzel, Lawrence Gilbert, Doro- thy Gregg, Lottie Harrell.

To Edna Lemon, if she’ll take good care, We leave Dot Gregg’s peppy “Sure, I’ll be there,” To Harlowe Hanson (we think he is fine) Goes Pete’s ability to hit the line. By Gyneth’s permission—she’s always kind— Joyce Bleck receives the best smile we can find. To Henry Asher, who is quite too small, Johnny Hutton leaves length—he’s far too tall. Marion Leigh’s good luck in winning debate, We will to Floyd Nelson, before it’s too late. Hugo Rumsey’s black hair—now don’t you moan— We leave to Chet Jones, since he won’t dye his own. Dot White’s sly wink, though it’s one of our pets, Is left to Betty Wood, with few regrets. To Freddy Fearing, if he can use more, Passes Endsley's skill for raising a score. To Helen H., we are all agreed, Goes Alletta’s charm in playing a lead- Frank Strong’s bright remarks, lest you should miss them We leave to McClellan to use in “chem.” Alice GaskiN's nerve, which is good but rare, Is left to Dot Pipes—but use it with care. To Carl Graeber, who plays keen basketball, Goes Max Foresman’s jump, but he keeps the fall. Margaret Drennon, our sweetest singer, Leaves Elspeth Hill a voice that’s a ringer. Carleton Kent gives his unused grey matter, To John Winn if he’ll cut out the chatter. Manley Hood and Helen Beck jointly will, Long years of friendship to Harlowe and Bill. i Horaee Botsford’s pep must stay with his name, So his sister receives it just the same. Janet Coulson falls heir to Bob’s marcell— Now we’re all hoping that she’ll keep it well. Dowers and Coker, as they leave this high, Come to coach in the art of “getting by.” The Gaunts—after bieaking many a heart— Bid adieu to the boys, ere they depart. From Gordon Gustafson, shiekish, though short, Ethan Smith receives some new ways to court. Lois Johnston’s dark eyes with a sparkle We feel we must leave to Elda Markle. Jake Richards, whose pull with the girls is strong, Wills it to Bill Hutson, who’ll keep it long. From Helen Cady, the Chemistry star, Bud Klein gets a light that will shine afar. Clarence Shores, that famous ticket-seller, Leaves salesmanship to any poor feller. For next year’s annual, to give it a start, Eugene Bales gives his ideas of art. The Sherbon Twins’ temperament, guaranteed, Goes to any good twins who are in need. John Mitchell’s smart antics are growing wild, Bill Carter may take some—the quiet child. Caris Nutt leaves her blushes and her vim, To all the Sophs who study hard in vain, Tom Cable, who has curly locks to spare, Leaves some to Dan Ramey who lost his share. To any good athlete who will keep in trim. Mildred Wilson sends good E’s for their pain. We’ll not say good-bye without a good yell, For our superintendent, friend Mr. Dell! Last words are for Pap, whom we’ve loved four years, “Thanks for your joy in return for our fears.” To the L. M. H S. of tomorrow— Our spirit, our hopes, our joy and sorrow.

By taking advantage of discounts for early engraving the staff was able to add the School Life section, special border designs and title pages, and a better cover for this year’s publication. The sales campaign, which began April 2, with an assembly program, and the support given by the merchants of Lawrence in advertising in the book, made the annual financially successful. Delo Selig, Business Manager, and Eugene Bales, Art Editor, deserve special mention for their work and the interest and time given by Miss Cora Vaughn, who acted as advisor, is much appreciated by the Senior Class. The Senior Honor Representatives DOROTHY GREGG FRANK STRONG This year, for the first time, the students of L. H. S. were given the opportunity to elect the most out-standing boy and girl of the senior class, taking scholarship, leadership, activity in school events, and character as a basis for their choice. Dorothy Gregg and Frank Strong, whom we are proud to acknowledge as representatives of the Class of ’25, have been accorded this honor. The Senior Prophecy “But as I always sez, Mrs. ’Arris, if you let the rope out so far ye might as well let it out all the way and let the pore purp ’ave ’is full freedom.’’ John Foster, president of the class of ’25, was seated on the third from the top step of the Statute of Liberty. He had recently been appointed Warden of the Statue, his chief duties being to keep all the little knobs and projections bright and shiny and to see that the Goddess’s torch was always supplied with a fresh Mazda bulb. It was after performing this latter duty that he sat down to rest. The time was in the early spring of 1940 and thought transference was just coming into vogue. Suddenly John realized the presence of a thought that was not his own. “That thing two steps down—animiscope, by means of it you can learn anything that is going on in any part of the world.’’ The words kept repeating themselves over and over. Thfc thought went on to make clear to him that the animoscope had been brought and deposited there by its inventor, the day before and that directions for its use would be found underneath it. The instrument was adjusted as directed and immediately strange pictures whirled befoie his eyes. Following are some of the many revelations he received: Gertrude Way had acquired three limousines, two palatial residences and in- estimable wealth by writing testimonials for the Verca Howard Little Round Red Pill Company. Dorothy Gregg was resigning her position as Chief Roller of the Holy Roller Church in South Africa, because the exercise was proving too strenuous for her. In the streets of a large city in Hawaii errand-boys were distributing hand bills which announced that Professor Frank Strong would deliver a lecture upon the vitally interesting subject “Development of Mind-Power for Henpecked Husbands and Rooster-Pecked Wives, Illustrated by Scenes from the Home-life of Caris Nutt and Eugene Bales.’ Carleton Kent was boarding a ship bound for Mongolia where he was to teach the native school children the proper and most beneficial method of chewing gum.

Halbur Bartlet and Louis Coghill were scheduled to appear in debate, the question at issue being: “Resolved: That It Is Childish to Ring Cow-bells at Basket- ball Games.” Courtney Bratton had purchased a French title to match his gentlemanly manners. John Hutton had attained great heights. He had been employed by Edward Cain, president of the Amalgamated Dime Store Co., to sit up on top of the flag-pole of the Woolworth Building and supervise the work of the weather vane. Alvin Thiry had started via the Bowen Inter-Planetarian Air Route for Mars where he was to deliver the pipe of peace to the Martian king, who it was rumored, was gathering his forces in preparation for an attack upon The World. Gyneth Stugard was faithfully fulfilling her duties as distributor of “The Budget.” Kerulf Ericksen was patiently waiting his turn to find out if the Hanks’ Employ- ment and Detective Agency had an opening for a reliable chimney-sweep. Eugene Leary, famous deep-sea diver, had been employed by Horace Botsford to search the depths of the ocean for an idea he had lost on a former trip to Europe. Jake Richards had become the proud possessor of three golden balls which he hung out each morning before his little shop, and which he took in each evening, promptly with the setting of the sun, lest Elmira Stauffer, who, it was feared, was quite envious of them, should lead them astray. Opportunity having been heard to knock at the door of their boarding house, Lewis Tucker and Vance Wadhams were racing down from the third floor, each in an earnest effort to be the first to bid her enter.

The Madagascan Ditch-Digger’s Union had unanimously elected Delo Selig their Perpetual President and Torch Bearer.

Faye Powell was trying to persuade Thomas Edison to purchase the illustrated booklet, “The Secret of Success Explained With Side Remarks by the Author,” by Chester May. Alvin Dahlene had succeeded, after long negotiations, in obtaining Mr. Riggs’ bicycle for his noted Curiosity Shop. Norvel Douglas and Richard Gibson had taken up the cheerful occupation of grave-digging. Marion Leigh had been chosen president of The Ladies’ Home Aid Society of Clay Center. Dorothy Shaad’s theory that the man in the moon possessed a dual personality was exploded by the convincing arguments entered against it by Harold Hird. Owen Edgar was the leader of a rebellion against the Divinely-Rightful Rulers of Morocco. The following sign gravely made its announcement to the world: “Artistic Spark Plugs. All designs and patterns. A few of Dresden China. Clarence Shores, Prop.” Lester Lyons, eminent soap-box orator, was explaining to his admiring audience that he had really been responsible for the great victory iri the last war with Czecho- slovakia, when Harold Drennon came along, displayed a silver plated star and spoiled the fun. Charles Wolfson and Hazel White were the only entrants in a contest to find the person who could most gracefully go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Aspiring young authors flocked to a centain corner on Broadway where Merle Gish freely dispensed to them autographed lead pencils and advice about their at- tempts. Alice Vinson found her duties as postmistress of High Prairie very straining to the eyes. Mayor Meng’s city cousins just would use those terrible, heavy envelopes. The morning mail brought Merle McKinney a patent on his latest inven- tion, the driverless automobile. Ira Wilbur was foreman of the label-sticking department of Helen Beck’s broom factory. Manley Hood was the prosperous manufacturer of a new and popular car called “The Wreck.” Lottie Harrell was practicing before a mirror, a very learned paper of her own composition, wheih she was to present at a called meeting of The American Chemical Society the following afternoon. One of the most persistent best-sellers in New York was “How to tell the Verb from the Adverb, in 99 volumes,” by Marie Sommer. Out on the great plains of Texas, a beautiful flute-like voice rose on the silent air. It proved to be that of Margaret Drennon calling the cows home. Her voice was reputed to have a strange magnetic effect on the beasts, but tonight they failed to come, for Edith Larson and Alta Gaskill, who were touring the country in the interest of beautifying rural life, were teaching them the preliminary steps of the Russian Ballet Dance. Endsley Jones was kneeling in the heart of a South American jungle gravely studying the response of a boa-constrictor to kind treatment, the result of which he was to report to the Scientific Society in Berlin. Alice Gaskill, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was pacing the floor of her study, pondering over and weighing in the scales of Justice the evidence brought for and against Charlotta Sturdy, assused by Alvis Allison of allowing her pigs to invade his property and ruin his turnip plantation. Lois Johnston had satisfactorily proved her worth as a law-abiding citizen by returning from a European pleasure trip—unaccompanied. Karney Brasfield, having hitched his wagon to a star was diligently pulling him- self upward by the reins. Miriam Wood had been delegated by the Imperial Government of Holland to paint representative scenes from the life of the Catawampus a|ong the Great Dike. Fred Fearing and Max Foresman had succeeded in gaining admission to Dorothy White’s Home for Demented Hindoostan Missionaries. Verl Bratton’s bill for compelling all locomotives to be equipped with musical whistles has caused a serious split in the Republican party in the senate. Lorena Marsh was enjoying her work as Foreign Representative and Demon- strator of the Orval Baldwin Irresistible False-Teeth. Johnny Mitchell’s long epic poem, the hero of which was himself and began “All the world appreciates a clown,” was winning for him great fame and admir- ataion. On the rocky shores of the Long Island Sound, Martha Wellman had built a lovely reform school for Misguided Young Horse-shoe Crabs and had established Meta Murphy in the role of chief disciplinarian. I eslie Holt had established an endowment fund to provide cots to those unfor- tunate students of L. M. H. S. who were interrupted from their sleep to attend school. Smith Brothers Cough Drops were enjoying an increased sale since the like- ness of Madge and Marie Gaunt have replaced those of the famous Trade and Mark. On a large and busy street corner of New York Thomas Cable had drawn about him a great multitude to which he was expounding on the unsurpassed value and merits of Evelyn Nelson’s Equine Beauty Clay, absolutely guaranteed to restore a sleek and shiny coat to moth-eaten horses, and Ethberth Caulk was handing out one copy of “The First Quarrel” in a geld embossed frame free with each purchase. Paul Coker, ambassador to England, had been disgracefully dismissed from that country because of an indiscreet engagement in fist-fight with the hot-tempered king. Joseph Sutton, president-elect of the United States, had rewarded Weldon Houser for his diligent campaigning by installing him in the White House as Chief Bootblack and Brass-polisher. Beatrice Bryant was head-waitress, and Merle Griffith first-chef of Child’s Restaurant in Chicago. The boxing-match between Gordon Gustafson and Lowry Lowe had been postponed until the former recovered from a severe case of the melancholia. Darrell Holt had been awarded the Chinese Medal of Honor for delivering that country from the invasion of potato bugs. Bert Hicks, having prepared himself with a shovel, pickax, and a slave to do the work, was starting out on a trip which he hopc Twould eventually lead to the discovery of Captain Kidd’s lost treasure. Oreta Adams Tea Shop served the best pickled frog-legs this side of the Mississippi to the tempermental movie actors in Hollywood. Mary Coughlin offered advice and consolation to the love-lorn, the oppressed, and the weary through the Chaperone column of Thomas Hill’s notorious journal, “The Listener-In.” Quentin Newcombe had placed on the market his newly-discovered chemical substance, which, when mixed with sand, provided ship-wrecked sailors with con- centrated nourishment, and saved them from a hideous death by starvation. Della Mae Dews bestowed tongue-twisting names upon the cars of the Pullmanized aeroplanes. Lawrence Gilbert was wearily climbing to the top of the little tower from which he directed the traffic of the air. Inspiration had come to George Elliott in the form of an idea for a contraption which would enable the homo gens to fly through the air like birds at will. Ted McNeill had a lovely time exploring the vast Artie region until the polar bears became jealous of the snowiness of the long beard he had cultivated and chased him home. Helen Cady was carefully guarding from the rain a carefully-written speech entitled “The Exquisite Joy of Being Hypnotized” which she was to deliver at the weekly meeting of the Saturday Night Opium Eaters’ Club. Gladys Anthony, assisted by Ethel Uttinger, was searching among the ruins of Pompeii for a scroll believed to have been in possession of one of the museums there at the time of the great disaster. The manuscript concerned was an apology written by the hand of the mighty Caesar, for his book, “The Gallic Wars.” With the aid of a torchlight, Alice Sherbon and Helen White were chipping off bits of the Rock of Gibralter to be used as settings by the Lackey Noveltv Company for their permanent engagement Hngs. Bessie Broat and Lydia Harris were Constables in the Canary Islands. Elizabeth Sherbon had been forced to resign her position as Licensed Dog Catcher because, somehow, she never had the courage to imprison the poor animals. Suddenly there was a resounding crash. The instrument had been brutally over- worked and it splintered into a thousand pieces, but not before it had disclosd that Betty Broadhead was wandering about the halls of L. M. H. S. in search of a degree. Alice and Elizabeth Sherbon were washing toy poodles in Evelyn Burton’s bird shop, situated in Hawaii, next to Mildred Wilson’s second-hand fur-coat store. Hugo Rumsey’s famous Canadian chain of undertaking establishments had gone to ruin as a result of Bob Reynold’s success in manufacturing life preservers. Mary Coughlin was attempting to hire George Elliot for a chauffer, but he in- sisted that he was already in use and threatened to call his lawyer, Lawrence Gilbert, to prove it. Lowery Lowe was calling a third trial for Lydia Harris, who has been in the penitentiary since that eventful April, 1925. Ted McNiell has not yet succeeded in proving her insane. Alice Lackey was proudly displaying a medal of honor received for escorting Dorothy Zweifel and Bernice Ootman to safety after Lee Laptad and Glenn Kiefer worked their artificial storni-nroducing machine. Merle Griffith nearly perished in the downpour, and Gordon Gustafson’s third wife lost her temper from the shock. (Dr. Harper of the Kennedy Hospital, said he might recover.) Weldon Houser, in corporation with Gladys Anthony, had completed a factory for the manufacture of “D. Shaw” fountain pens. Katherine Borth, a retired member of Mildred Eldridge’s Man-Haters’ Home, was racing Bee Bryant to Ernest West’s new aquarium. The reason for their haste was not known, but some say they wished to see Bill Pennel’s pet gold fish wink, and each was afraid it. would flirt with the other. Lucile Hill and Frances Wilson both won prizes in the handshaking contest of the 1940 World’s Fair. BertHicks, the judge, was completely overcome by their ex- haustive handshakes. Maurine McNish was a close second, but her turn came too late, and Bert had retired in favor of the aforementioned. Mary Miller, a noted society woman, had aided Betty Broadhead in choosing suit- able clothes for her European tour (the poor girl had won a newspaper beauty con- test and had no idea what to wear for such a trip.) Julia Peterson, representative of the Riehardson-Sanders Automobile Trust, had just completed a transaction with Orpha Paugh—she bought twenty-five cars for the Green orphan Asylum. Glen Soxman’s pep producing pills had caused Helen White to sue him for damages —he had so much pep that she beat up Mildred Saunders and Martha Reiss, well- known seamstress, and was just beginning on Ethil Uttinger when Myrtle Suiter inter- fered and called Louis Kampschroeder to the rescue (he originated the get-strong- quick method used by the Getmore-Snodgrass insurance company.) Charles Nelson was seen wandering about Madagascar in a mystified way—he had been employed at Ossawatomie and for some reason, he was unable to find his way home after a pleasure trip around the world in one of Lucy Henderson’s aero- planes—“Drive it Yourself.” She ressurected the’ slogan from an ancient make of motor car. Bessie Broat was trimming the windows of her motor-boat store, where Mar- jorie Bronson worked as chief clerk and demonstrator. Annie Jane Hicks and Harry Hevener were remeniscing old times and Harry had just remarked that he didn’t see what James Smith could have amounted to. (Appar- ently he was ignorant of the fact that said James Smith was at that time mounting the steps of the Capitol, Washington, D. C., hand in hand with Ida Hodson—new mem- bers of the cabinet.) Quentin Newcombe was raising rabbits for the Belgians (they had only recently heard of such animals.) Edna Eberwein was picking up olive seeds in Egypt. She and Irene Calbert thought it would be so clever to make carved beads of them, and they would sell well, too. Marie and Marguerite Jones were petitioning the government of Spain to have their names changed to Senog. (It would sound so much more “native Backwards.”) Poor John was just about asleep when he suddenly caught sight of Edwin Hartman and Richard Henderson playing noker in Coe’s drug store. He was heard to mutter, “Aw, what’s the use,” and rose fedbly, to put a new Mazda bulb in the Torch of Liberty.

Catlin, Harper Casey, Harnar, Williams The Class of ’26 started the year by electing the following officers: President, Willardean Harnar; vice-president, Quatie Williams; secretary, Lydia Catlin; treasurer, Irma Casy; and Budget reporter, Billy Carter. A symbol for class pins and rings was chosen since this had not been done before. The Junior Find-Me-Out, in the form of a picnic, was given October 30, at the Tourist park. Although it rained, everyone enjoyed the games and “eats.” The Juniors sponsored a successful all-school matinee dance, March 2, the returns of which were used to make a better Junior Prom. Jack Casey and Sarah Weed, managers of the annual Junior-Senior Prom, began their work early, and a delightful dinner-dance was given April 4, in the high school gymnasium. John Foster, Mary Allen, Fred Fearing, and “Pap” Olney, introduced by the toastmistress, Willardean Harnar, spoke; and the program included vocal and violin solos, solo dances, and readings. Dancing completed the entertainment. Much credit for the success of the class activities is given to Miss Iva Belle Harper, and L- H. Emmett, the class advisors. Wood Evans. Vernon Peyton The following officers were chosen by the Sophomore class at the fall election: president, Myron Peyton; vice-president, Edith Evans; sec- retary, Grace Vernon; treasurer, Betty Wood; Budget reporter, Gladys Baker. Later, at a meeting of the executives, Miss Rayhill and Mr. Riggs were chosen advisors- One large business meeting was held, at which Harold Alexander and Maurine Clevenger were chosen to fill two vacancies on the student council. The other Sophomore representatives were Edith Evans and Myron Peyton. The Sophomores have taken an active part in all school activities, and feel that they have done their best to add something to school life. The Student Council Edmonds. Strong. McDonald, Foster.

Peyton, Clevenger, Carter, Stugard, Simmonds, Evans, Lindsay In the spring of 1924, the election of the Student Council took place under the direction of the old members. A boys’ president, and a girls’ president were elected separately, and later, class representatives were chosen to complete the organization. At the first meeting of the council, Miss Cora Davenport, and An- drew McDonald were chosen advisors. On October 12, 1924, an all-school party was sponsored by the Stu- dent Council. Dancing and games furnished the entertainment. A second party was given shortly before Christmas. “Kid” costumes and games, with a special program ending in the arrival of Santa Claus kept every- one amused. In January, 1925, the Student Council entertained with an all-school dance- The most important activity of the organization was the preparation The Y. IV. C. A. Cabinet Larson, Lester, Stugard.

Cabinet and general meetings were held alternately on Wednes- day. Some of the most prominent meetings were a “Mother and Daugh- ter” mixer, Y. W. C. A. Alumni Banquet, “A day in Estes,” Christmas meeting, Recognition of New Members, joint Hi-Y-YW meeting, “The Ideal Girl,” Easter Matin, and Installation of officers for the year ’25-’26.

The club has a membership of about thirty- five. Eight boys went to the Sectional Older Boys Conference at Man- hattan during the Thanksgiving vacation. There is promise of success for next year with the interest shown by the underclassmen in the club. The Pepperrettes were reorganized early in December, and contin- uing their activities of the previous year, they succeeded in upholding their reputation as one of the most enthusiasic groups in the school. “Peppy” stunts were given between halves of the home basketball games, and many new yells and songs were used to keep up the school spirit, even when the chances of victory were slim. Telegrams and letters for the team conveyed enthusiasm when the games were played out-of- town. The Pepperettes held a meeting in the cafeteria before one of the games, and after plenty of good things to eat, the yells were snappier than usual. Mr. Arthur Lawrence entertained the girls at Wiedemann’s following the Lawrence-Olathe game, February 20. The Pepperettes Winsler. Weed. Leigh. Harshfleld. Larson. Gaskill. Carter, Russell Sherbon.

We began by being the first organization to stage a parade for football. “Nothing But the Truth” was the first of our successes of this year. At Christmas time a large party was given in the cafeteria, with a farce as part of the program. When the Student Courcil gave an all-school party, the Dramatic Club presented “A Girl to Order,” which was well liked by everyone present. Professor Allen Crafton made our meetings interesting by talking to us about Dramatic Art. He gave several demonstrations on make-up. The spring play, “It Pays to Advertise,” was an unusual success. Frank Strong and Manley Hood were the business managers, and Mrs. Bertha Wilson seemed to give the plays a personal touch that insured their success. Members of the Dramatic Club chose the Senior play, “Full House,” and the cast included several members of this organization. Mrs. Wilson, the Dramatic Club spon- sor, coached the play. It was, without doubt, the best year yet for the Dramatic Club. To Miss Newman we give warm thanks for her assistance as an advisor and co-worker in all our undertakings.

There were the usual mistakes, ah yes, and very unusual at- tempts to cover them up. Before the curtain went up, the players were in a terrible state of physical tor- ment—cold feet, burning faces, and throbbing pulses. The silence was terrible when the orchestra stopped playing. The Dramatic Club gave the school a great surprise by giving a very finished performance which was successful both socially and financially. Frank Strong proved to be a very good business manager by handling, in a very business-like way, the hard situations that arose in advertising the play. To Mi's. Wilson, many thanks are due for her untiring efforts in coaching the players.

They seemed to have hysterics in putting up signs of a most attractive nature. A contest was held in connection with the play, in which a liberal prize was offered for the best critical review of it. The performance was a decided success, as usual? No, as unusual, “It Pays to Advertise” afforded an opportunity for every member of the club to work. Again, due to the help of Mrs. «Wilson, another triumph was added to the club’s his- tory, and certainly we hold our coach responsible for a large pak t of our glory.

The staff had a grub and party at Mrs. Jensen’s home, Friday even- ing, January 23. The co-operation received from the business men of the town has done a great deal to make the Budget a financial success. 7 he Ben Franklin Club Reed, Tucker, O’Leary, Hartman, Huested, Endacott Bunn.

During the past year, the members of Lolan have enjoyed the club very much. Regular meetings have been instructive and interesting, some of its features being: reading different types of stories by prominent authors, reciting parts of poems in contests, debates, and giving stunts. The members also had a contest in writing Christmas poems, for which the winners were given very interesting prizes. The Lolan Society has been organized for only a few years, but with the helpful counsel of Miss McMillan, it has been growing more and more successful. The Lolan members are expecting to have an even more active organization next year. The Oita Literary Society Edmonds, Menp. Lelyh Harnar, Bartlett. Pipes Way. Gatlin. Wilson. A. Sherbon, Bleek.

New members were initiated last fall, at a picnic supper given at Smith’s Timber. January ninth, the Oitas gave a tea-dance in the gymnasium, to which every senior girl was invited. Later in the spring, a party was given at the Country Club, and each member invited a guest. The Society takes this opportunity to thank their sponsor, Miss Vera Blackburn, for her co-operation in all their activities.

Any student who is interested enough to try out may be voted into the club by the members. The membership, this year, numbered about twenty-five. In order to give every one some experience, each member was given a chance to be on some debate team which represented the school. ‘Debate K. Erfksen, Boyer, C. Erlksen A. Bask ill.

The membership is dependent upon scholarship and interest. The program has included the study of the civilization of ancient cities. At each meeting some member presented a puzzle or stunt, which induced the students to make use of their knowledge of Latin. Among the social everts of the year were the initiations; the fall party which was given at the home of the president; and the regular open house on the Ides of March, to which the parents of the students in the Latin department were invited. The Classical Club took an active interest in the convention of the Kansas and Missouri Latin teachers. Cheney, Bowen. T cKg. Eberwein, Ka i Powell. Emmett, Vale. Anderson. Gentry M. Anderson.

We have given two successful parties, one at Thanksgiving time and the other in the form of a Valentine party; at both of which the Boy’s Ag Club and their sponsors were guests.

Under the able direction of Miss Mable Barnhart, the talents of each of the members have been greatly developed. The club has participated in several concerts, and, in conjunction with the Girls’ Glee Club, has produced one of the most successful operettas in the history of the school. The club gave its first annual concert of semi-classical numbers this spring. The Boys’ Glee Club has had as its officers this year the following: Edwin Hanson, president; Jack Casey, vice-president; and Louis Cog- hill, secretary-treasurer- Regular practices have been held each Thurs- day afternoon, and, in addition, there have been a number of special meetings. The members have enjoyed their associations with the organization and have ever given their share of talent to the glory of their school. The Chorus THE CHRISTMAS CHORUS This year, the Chorus classes, supervised by Miss Barnhart and Mr- Coffelt, have given two concerts for the general public besides doing their regular class work. The first, a Christmas program containing a large number of beautiful carols, was given December 17, in the auditorium. The second concert was presented April 8, and consisted of solos and songs appropriate for the Easter season. The Chorus was assisted by the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, and the orchestra.

Our meetings which had very good attendance, were every other Thursday. There were twenty-seven members this year. The meetings have been profitable from the educational standpoint, and we have had many social gatherings, all of which were much enjoyed. The officers for this year are as follows: President, Bernice Oatman Vice-President, Ester Sanders Secretary, Marguerite Jones Treasurer, May Key Sergeant-at-Arms, Edna Eberwine Budget Reporter, Myrtle Suitor Faculty Advisor, Miss Davenport ; ,...............u 1 .

The menu and decorations were carried out in the Christmas colors. We feel that the success of our club was due largely to the efforts of our advisor, Miss Fay Orelup.

His ability as a coach can be recognized in the increased interest and co-operation, not only among the athletes themselves, but through- out the school. We hope that Coach McDon- ald’s success in training our teams will con- tinue. CLARENCE A. SPEER Mr. Speer spent much of his time this year as Athletic Manager for the High School. He has greatly succeeded in the work, and has started Athletics off with a new spirit in L. M. H. S.

A leader and a player—one who inspired the team by his fight- and in the words of his Coach, “A gentleman, a scholar, and a player.” May there be more who follow his example. i A i ■ I U i ■ K5 ( J— i. Lawrence started its second season under the direction of Andrew J. McDonald, former Lawrence High School and University star. Prac- tice was held the first day of school, and about fifty men reported, among whom were three letter men, namely, Captain Wilbur, Dye and Kennedy. With these three letter men and a wealth of material, Coach McDonald set out to build a team that would more than match some in the state. Backed by a school and town that showed their support by putting over the season ticket sale successfully, and with the slogan “Put Lawrence on the Map,” the prospects for a winning team were very good. In the first game of the season, Lawrence, playing a championship brand of football, defeated Bonner Springs, on Cordley Field, by the score of 32 to 0. Flashing a fast offense, and a strong defense, Lawrence was able to gain at will, while Bonner Springs was held helpless. In the following week-end, Lawrence duplicated her feat of the week before by trouncing Leavenworth, on Cordley field, by the largest score of the season, 43 to 0- Playing a clean game, the kind of football a fan likes to see, Lawrence completely outclassed Leavenworth. Again, L. H. S. showed a real scoring punch and a strong defense. The next Saturday, Lawrence showed that she had one of the strong- est teams in the state by journeying down to Emporia, an old time rival, and defeating her 9 to 3. Playing with the old Lawrence High School spirit that follows the statement, “If you won’t be beat, you can’t be beat,” Lawrence out-fought and outplayed her larger opponents. Emporia took the lead in the first quarter with a field goal, but it was short-lived, be- cause Lawrence soon followed with a field goal and a touchdown, putting them ahead. This ended the scoring for the game, but, as all L. H. S. fol- lowers who witnessed the game know, it was hard fought from the start to the final whistle. A week later, Lawrence met her first defeat of the season, when Man- hattan repeated her work of the year before by defeating Lawrence, at Manhattan, by a one point margin, 6 to 5. The first half ended scoreless for both sides. In the second half, Lawrence was the first to score by the field goal route. However, Manhattan soon followed with a touch- down obtaining the lead which was not overcome. Lawrence scored again on a safety, but this was one point short of the necessary amount. To the Lawrence team goes our gratitude for playing a clean, fighting game to the very last, and holding up the honor of Lawrence High School. Rosedale was the next team to meet defeat at the hands of the fast Lawrence team, by the score of 35 to 16- Held to a close score in the first half, Lawrence came back in the second half and scored four touch- downs, to Rosedale’s two. Again, Lawrence displayed a real scoring punch, being able to gain at will against Rosedale. Since they were unable to gain through the line they resorted to long passes. The game, although exciting to the final whistle, showed the superiority of the Lawrence team. Lawrence added another game to the victory column when she de- feated Iola High School at Iola, 13 to 7. Although outplayed, Iola was able to hold the fast Lawrence team, for three quarters, to a 7 to 7 score. However, the fourth quarter added six points through the “kicking toe” of “Jim” Kennedy, thus insuring victory for old Lawrence High. In this game, Captain Wilbur showed that he had the real Lawrence spirit when he played three quarters of the game with a broken arm. Lawrence met her second defeat when Ottawa journeyed to Law- rence and came out with the long end of the score, 21 to 6- The game was a fight to the final whistle, and closer than the score indicates. Ottawa scored three touchdowns in the first half, while holding Lawrence help- less. Lawrence came back in the second half, scoring six point to Ot- tawa’s two. COACH “ANDY” The next conqueror was Atchison, who defeated Lawrence at Atchi- son by a score of 9 to 7. Playing an erratic brand of football, Lawrence was unable to find herself until the final period. Atchison went into the lead, which was never to be headed, by scoring a touchdown and a safety in the first half. Lawrence started a rally with a touchdown, but was cut short by the final whistle. Although, not playing in the best of form, it can be said that the Lawrence team went down fighting until the very last. Embittered by the two defeats in the two preceding games, Lawrence went to Topeka to take her revenge on an old time rival- Playing in per- fect harmony, Lawrence defeated Topeka, 12 to 0. With a fast offense that was able to gain against Topeka, and a strong defense that checked any threatened rally, Lawrence showed why she should be considered one of the strongest teams in the state. This game, also, showed that this team had the true Lawrence High fight. At the close of the season, Lawrence had to its name three defeats and six victories. The total score of Lawrence more than doubled the score of their opponents. She had, also, defeated some of the best tean s in the state and was classed as one of the strongest teams in Kansas. Winners of the L in Football IRA WILBUR—Captain 1924. Always ready to do his part, and then some. A real leader, in the fighting to the final whistle, whether the score was for or against the team. HARLOWE HANSON—Captain-elect for 1925. A man that can be trusted to do his best for Lawrence High. A man that will fill the captaincy to the utmost of his ability. LELAND HANLEY One of the best high school “backs” ever seen in this part of the country. A real triple-threat man. HOMER HANLEY A player full of fight, and a great center. One of the reasons why it was so hard for teams to gain through the line. DONALD DOWERS One of the fastest ends Lawrence has ever had, and a good man to receive passes. VANCE WADHAMS Fight was Vance’s middle name. One of the scrappiest players on the Lawrence team. KENNARD KENNEDY A good kicker and broken field runner. In there fighting all the time. GEORGE ATKINSON Stopping up holes in the line was his biggest asset. When it comes to using his hands in the defense—well, ask some of his opponents. ALVIS ALLISON Alvis was not a brilliant player, but one that could be counted on to do his share. TOMMY McCALL A scrappy back who could really hit the line. We predict a great record for him in the future. I I BASKETBALL The First Team Foster. McDonald. Graeber Kennedy. Rice.

Forney The Season When Coach McDonald first called basketball practice, a week after the close of the football season, he fourd that he had an inexperienced squad to start with, for only two letter-men, Captain Jones and Coker, were back. Lawrence opened the season with a defeat, 14 to 13, at the hands of Manual High, on the Convention Hall Court in Kansas City. Then followed an erratic season with wins from some of the best teams in the leauge while games were lost to some not so good. The team had good ability, but lacked in experience. It dis- played good basketball at times, while it fell into a slump too often to retain a good standing in the league. Not only in wining did the Coach McDonald quintet show good form, but in some of the games lost, it exhibited a fine type of playing. There- fore, it is only right that some of the games which they played in this good form, be mentioned. In the Atchison game, a high class defense was shown in winning 11 to 10. The Season This game was followed with the game against Northeast, in which L. H. S. displayed their first offensive strength by winning 25 to 21. Then came the Ottawa game there, which, although it was lost 23 to 16, was hard-fought to the last. The fast Kansas City, Kansas, aggregation came here, and although it won by four points, L. H. S. showed the home folks that it had the old Lawrence fight. Of the remaining games, two must be mentioned, namely, the Rosedale and Horton games, which were won by good scores. In these, they showed the fine brand of basketball that they were cap- able of playing. In a review of the season, it is necessary to bring out some of the bright spots of it, such as the defeating of Rosedale and Atchison, who ranked high in the league. The victory over Northeast of Kansas City, Missouri, and the honorable mention of Foresman and Jones on the Topeka Capital’s All-Northeast League teams should be mentioned. Then, at the end of the season came the tournaments. A change was made in the qualifying for the state tournament, to the effect that a team had to survive two preliminary tournaments before entering the state meet. Previously, only dis- rict tournaments were held. In the district meet at Baldwin, Lawrence was placed in Class A, with three other teams, rnmely, Bonner Spring, Osawatomie, and Olathe. Lawrence drew Bon- ner Springs in the first round. The L. H. S. team led by five points at the half, but in the second period, Bonner Springs came back fighting, and when the final whistle blew, the score was tied at 13 all. After five-minute play-off, the score was still tied, but at the start of the second one, Bonner scored by a long shot, putting its team in the lead. Lawrence made two field goals in quick succession, and won the game 17 to 15. In the finals, Lawrence did not meet so much opposition in Osawa- tomie, winning 20 to 9. When the All-District Teams were picked, Popplewell, for- ward, Foresman, center, and Fearing, guard placed on the first; and Jones, guard, and Kennedy, forward, were named on the second. By winning this tournament, Lawrence qualified for the sectional tournament, and also added a fine cup to their trophy case. The following week, the Sectional Tournament was held at Lawrence, in which seven teams were entered. In the first round, Lawrence met and defeated Effingham by the score of 28 to 14. In the second round, or semi-finals, Lawrence met Topeka, an old time rival. Having defeated Lawrence twice during the season, Topeka was doped to win, but Lawrence, displaying the old Lawrence High fight and playing one of its best games, was able to defeat them 21 to 16. At the finals, Lawrence was defeated by the fast Kansas City Kansas team by the score of 26 to 16. Having thus gone to the finals, Lawrence qualified for the state tournament which was held at K. U. the next week end. Lawrence drew Parsons in the first round, and not playing up to their usual form, were defeated by the score of 26 to 16. In the choice for the All-State Teams, Foresman and Jones were given honorable mention. Underhill, McFarland, Warnick, Wilbur, Bye. Mullins, Dowers O’Bryon, Simmonds, M. Kennedy, Coghill, McDonald, P. Jones, C. Bratton The Track Squad of 1924 The Track season started about two weeks before the end of the Basketball Season. When Coach McDonald gave the official call, a great number of men reported, among whom were three letter men, namely Cap- tain Wilbur, Foresman and Simmonds. The following week, the Interclass Track meet was held in which the classes finished in this order: Seniors 80 1-2, Juniors 41 1-2 and Sophomores 28 1-2. This meet gave evidence that prospects were better than they Jiad been for years. With such men as Captain Wilbur in the dashes and weights, Foresman in the hurdles, Trueblood in the pole vault, Hollands. Pontius and Hanson in the high-jump, and with the slogan “Put Lawrence on the Map,” the out- look for a winning track team seem good. i Something In Cross-words T-he best looking girl—Hary Allen (1), Marie Gaunt (2), Doris Burnett (3).

Some with a heavy crop, Some with a lighter mop. Into the barber shop Walked the bobbed hundred. Women of high degree, Women past fifty-three, Determined that they shall be One of the numbered. Women of every class, Mother and little lass, Flappers all join the mass Of the bobbed hundred. Some with bangs, some without, Some shingled roundabout, Some in curls, some in doubt Fear they have blundered. Some of them look real swell, Some of them look like—oh well, Just as you are not to tell On the bobbed hundred. ODE TO AN ALARM CLOCK Tinkle, tinkle, little bell, How I wish you were in—well Any place but where you are, China would not be too far. When at night I hit the hay, Tired and weary from the uay, Scarcely do I close my eyes When you tell me I must rise. Some day when I’ve lots of kale— Have it by the stack and bale— Then revenge will sure be mine I’ll set you for half past nine! Under the sod Lies Tim O’Toole. He borrowed a feather To tickle a mule. The fire engine goes at a furious pace; The taxi-cab dashes down the street; You see a lot o’ speed at a big auto race; But the cafeteria rush can’t be beat. Corner METERS AND LETTERS There are meters of accent, There are meters of tone, But the best of all the meters Is to meet her alone. There are letters of accent, There are letters of tone, But the best of all letters Is to let her alone. He stood on the bridge at midnight, I can see the spot he chose, For he was a Jersey Mosquito, And the bridge was the bridge of my nose. SAFETY LAST Lies slumbering here one William Lake; He heard the bell but had no brake. At 50 miles drove Allie Pidd; He thought he wouldn’t skid, but did. At 90 miles drove Eddie Shawn, The motor stopped, but “Ed” kept on. Here he sleeps, one Johnny Fonker; He rounded a curve without a honker. Down in the creek sleeps Jerry Bass; The bridge was narrow; he tried to pass. Beneath this stone sleeps William Raines; Ice on the hill, he had no chanis. Here lies the body of William Jay, Who died maintaining his right of way. And here’s what’s left of Samuel Small; He paid no ’tention to “slow” signs a-tall. Reposes here young Rudolph Lutie; He turned his head to watch a cutie. And Booger Red is parked in this’n; He did not stop, nor look, nor listen. Here drop a tear for Adam Chugger, Who didn’t stop before he hugged her. He seized her in the dark and kissed her; For a moment bliss was his, “Oh,” he said, “I thought it was my sister.” She laughed and said, “It is.” OUR ADVERTISERS The Annual Staff of 1925 wish to extend to the Advertisers listed below a word of sincere appreciation for their loyalty to the Lawrence Memorial High School.

ARTHUR EASTMAN—Mr. Esseck said the next boy would be a girl, and then he called on me! MR. OLNEY—Wendell Lott is here only when he isn’t absent. PINKIE CAULK—I’m a little shady on that question someone give me the light. KATHERINE B. TO DOT W.—You’re taking a speed test with your mouth. LOIS JOHNSTON—Didn’t you eat any lunch for dinner? PETE WILBUR—Every time I look into a mirror I get mad. MIRIAM WOOD—Have you been to see the manicurist to get your hair curled? MISS WOOD—Please refrain from singing here, this is not a bird cage. VERL BRATTON—I get all of the sweetest smiles in the world from girls going down the hall.

The Bloom ol Youth May he forever Treasured In a Photograph LAWRENCE STUDIO 727 Massachussetts St. “O. SAY CAN YOU SING? From the music room issued sounds of wondrous harmony. Anybody with the least bit of intuition could have identified the noises as singing. The bass was base indeed, and the soprano was very lyric and the alto, well, at a higher altitude it might have been better. The harmony was wonder- ful, well not exactly wonderful but certainly novel. Harmony like that had never been heard before. The sopranos hit the high notes about ten meas- ures before the basses hit the corresponding low notes. Yes, as has been said above, anybody with the least bit of intuition could have identified the noises as singing—but it took Mr. Coeffelt to recognize The Star Spangled Banner as his second period chorus class interpreted it. Senior English Theme Emphasizing Clearness of Thought. Who Was Shot and Who Was Not. A duel was lately fought by Alexander Shott and John S. Nott. Nott was shot and Shott was not. In this case it was better to be Shott than Nott. There was a rumor that Nott was not shot, but Shott avows that he was not, which proves either that the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot or that Nott was shot, or that Nott was shot notwithstanding. It may be made to appear on trial that the shot Shott shot shot Nott, or, as accidents with firearms are frequent, it may be possible that the shot Shott shot shot Shott himself when the whole affair would resolve itself into its original element, and Shott would be shot and Nott would be not. Some folks think, however, that the shot Shott shot shot, not Shott, but Nott. Can you tell who was shot? We offer no prizes for the correct solu- tion of this problem.

McColloch Says: That this is about the average age of the members of this year’s Graduation Class whose work has been well done and not only a credit to each individual but a real pleasure to the folks at home at completion of the long- ed for goal. There is still, however, to be added to the above number, four years at the University “its an addition which all L. H. S. Graduates look forward to” making a total of 21 which is the age at which boys become men, earn and spend their own money and stay out late nights if they wish to. As to the Girls, well they secure good paying positions as teachers in High Schools. Speaking of 17 brings to my mind that this is the number of years that this store has been established in Lawrence, you and your folks have helped it along making it a success and I thank you for the co-operation.

He is constantly striving thru his adherence to a Code of Ethics to lift the standards and ethics of the real estate profession. Realtors, often by a close study of existing factors are able to elim- inate many hazards, thus protecting the home owner of the inves- tor in real estate securities from loss.
