To this High School in September In the fall of nineteen seventeen, Went a group of lads and lassies There to gain an educationg There to win for each one fame. They were met by teachers many VVho to teach them nobly tried- Yea, they labored without flinching Never tiring of their task. Thinking they should have a leader, Have some one to guide their footsteps, They consulted with each other, And Sourbeer they chose to guide them, Guide them thru their battles many. Nobly did he fill his office As the Chieftain of his class.. Then the next year rolling to them Found them faithful, brave Soph'mores, Found them in the halls and class rooms, Found them planning for the school year. Once again they sought a leader, And this time they chose Beb Emery, Chose Beb Emery for their captain. Like their noble Freshman leader, Bravely did he lead his band. Nineteen twenty found them juniors, All quite proud to bear the title. Many changes met them then, Change in sponsors and in teachers. New but kindly faces met them, As they went into the class rooms. x Soon the juniors staid and steady, Organized and chose their leaders, Chose with wisdom and with foresight: Chose Altimari for their leader, For so wisely would he lead them. In the fall of this same school year, 'I' hey together planned a picnic: Planned to break their long time fasting For the members of the class. In this class were lads and lassies, VVho were bent on fun and frolie, Always ready for amusement. So they met in the gymnasium, Dressed in aprons and in rompers, Where they played their childhood games. Members of this class so loyal Gave their time and gave' their skill, A bazaar, did money bring them. Once again they did assemble, Assemble as the guests of Seniors, For a jolly All Fools' Party. The junior Class, as is the custom, Gave a play, Cupid at Vassar . Here they showed exceeding talent, Talent none believed was present. As the year was slowly closing, And the Seniors were to leave us,' Altogether they did feast In the Woodland of the Juniors. ln the Woodland they did gather Gathered there for song and feasting. Then at last they bore the title, Highest title in the school, Seniors were they wise and steady, Seniors, friends of underelassmeng Seniors, whom the Freshmen came top 19 Q Came with questions of importance. This time, then, they chose brave Chester, He to lead them thru their trials. And with wisdom and with patience Did he rule this mighty band. On an evening in September, On a hayrack they did ride, To a grove far in the northland, Where on juicy steak they feasted. Then they planned a Junior party, Sang they songs of love and friendship, And the halls with mirth resounded From this loyal, joyous band. Next the Kill Kare Karnival, With its trip into the cloudlancl, And its booths of many kinds, 5 With its minstrel in the chapel, l s Won more honors for the class. E In the springtime came the class night: Worked and planned for was this class night, l, And the program quite successful Was a program long remembered. Came the baccalaureate sermong Came the graduation, too. juniors planned the decorations, Decorations for the class. Then diplomas they were given, l I To the class of '21, T Diplomas worked and longed for. l Now they've left their dear old high school l Left it for renown and fame.

We are are known by the dignified title of Sophomores. We Sophomores realize that continuous efforts, seasoned with thoughtful- ness, will finally lead us to success, therefore we are desperately struggling to master the monsters, Latin, Mathematics, Science, and English. Miss Morris, Miss Pratt, Mr. Baxter, and Mr. Hillix, our sponsors, are cheerfully helping us to Hnd the pathway leading to the Gate of Success. We feel especially fortunate in having in our class such football heroes as Touchdown Rosa, Charence Martin, and Pat Moake. Although we have had few social activities so far, we have thoroughly enjoyed two events. The first of these was a farmer and farmerette party, the second, a Christmas party, both of which were held in the gymnasium of . the Parsons High School. We are only half through the Wilderness but Determination is walking hand in hand with the Sophomore Class and we are sure of victory. -Gwendolyn Weber i wwf- wgfww vii?

Along with work has come some fun, For pleasure follows when hard work's done. But though they've had their share of play, Not for one minute have they wished to stray From the hard worn path up the grade That leads to success, the hill once made. With ambitions great, they struggled on That two years later they might become The chosen fewg when success they attain They might for only a moment remain, And with satisfaction might look back And View accomplishments of their tact.

This was the Freshmen army. They entered upon the highway which was cut deep into the mountains. Their progress was endangered by outlaws called upperclassmen, but under the skillful leadership of their officers, Pilkington, Scott, Rule, and Charles Piatt, they routed their enemies. The army was frequently attacked by the sneers and slams of that band of lawbreakers, camoullaged under the same of Seniors. But these dangers were small compared to those seemingly immovable obstacles called algebra, Latin, and English. The forces would have clespaired had it'not been for the encouragement and help of their leaders. They.rallied bravely, as all true soldiers do, for the final encounter which came early in- May. This was a great victory with but few casualties, and now the army has gone into summer quarters in the various homes in Camp Parsons. -Hal Hyler i I J F IAN - - ' ' AISON buhflfresijman Isfs ilaistnrp In the Sub-Freshman Class are two liunclrcd students. This year courses in domestic science, domestic art, and mechanical drawing were not required because of the large enrollment. This class has taken an active interest in all school affairs, especially music. Under the leadership of Mrs. Hoag, a Junior High School Girls' Glee Club has been organized. Altho the club did not win first place it made a creditable showing. The class is also represented in the high school orchestra. Perhaps as these energetic Sub-Freshmen grow older, they will become Seniors. VVe hope that none may fail lo graduate, for, as Seniors, we can say that the iight is well worth while. -Chester Harrington X , . i Q i V V 77- ,QW - -NXXN 4 X 4 mlrncs !1!7H!!!01Vf ROA!!

A squad of tifty boys made their appearance at the first tryout and after two weeks training, Foaches Koontz and Hillix selected the quintette to play the first game of the season. On December 23, the team journeyed to Columbus where they romped on their rivals of the preceeding year. After several weeks of practice, during which time Parsons defeated Chanute, Fort Scott, Pittsburg, and Girard, the Hnal team was chosen. The Consistent lloorwork of Emery and Mundon and Steuber's aceuraey for the basket accounted for the large end of the scoreg the excellent work of the guards, Martin and Thorn, aeeounted for the opponents' small seore. Although two members of the team graduate this spring, we predict an even more successful season for 1921-22. VVith best wishes for the con- tinued success of this organization, I, who am about to depart, salute thee!

The first prize won by the organiza- tion was at Independence, Kansas, in 1917. At that time the orchestra con- sisted of sixteen pieces. By the steady and efficient work of Mr. Charles S. McCray this organization now consists of forty-six pieces. By special request it played before the National Convention of Musical Supervisors at St. joseph, Missouri, on April 6, and appeared before the Rotary Convention in the Baltimore Hotel, and at the Northeast High School in Kansas City, Missouri. The success of this organization is due to the efforts of the director, Mr. Charles S. MCC ray, the co-operation of the school and the school board, the help given by the Chamber of Commerce, the Kiwanis and the Rotary Clubs of this city. -William Altimari '55 g'.ge,e3 ru 13' 'j -- .1 M Sa- 19 Ullbe ansas ariaries President Thelma VVells Vice-President Juanita Nagle Secretary and Treasurer Julia Potts The origin of the name Kansas Kanaries is, perhaps, unknown to some. In the year of 1917, the Girls' Glee Club of that year went to the Inter- national Rotary Convention at Kansas City. Mr. J. J. Cvoldware, president of the Betty Wales Dress Company, was pleased with the singing and sug- gested the name Kansas Kanaries. Since that time each succeeding glee club has adopted the name. Under the skilled direction of Mr. McCra'y, the glee club has accom- plished much this year, and we are looking forward to a bigger, better glee club next year.

Saylor ' v N ARSON ml ' C Eiuniurzbeniur th arty On Thursday night, December 16, 1920, the Seniors gave a Christmas party for the Juniors at the high school gymnasium. At eight o'Clock all the little boys and girls came, dressed in their Sunday best. In the center of the room was a great big Christmas tree beautifully decorated with Christmas ornaments and red and green lights. During the evening, drop-the-handkerchief, two-deep, and other childish games were played. One big boy was very mean and tormented all the little girls. One boy was poor and his clothes were torn and thin, but he was nice, and all the little girls played with him. Santa's sleigh bells were heard coming closer, closer, closer. All the children were delighted. Soon he arrived with toys packed on his back. After shaking off the snow, he gave them marbles, dolls, balls, candy, and lots of pretty things. At ten-thirty, the parents came for the children who went home excited and happy after seeing Santa Claus. The party was chaperonerl by Mr. and Mrs. Hibbs, Mr. and Mrs. C. Gastineau, Miss Brandenburg, Mr. Piatt, and Mr. C. Stanford of Joplin, Missouri. -K. J.

The structure will he completed next fall and will be one of the finest andiniost 1noder11 buildings of its kind in the state. Tapestry hrick and Silverdale stone are heing used in the handsome three-story structure which follows the American type of architecture with a touch of the Gothic. The seventh, eighth, and ninth grades of the east side will attend the new junior high school which will have acco1n1nodations for live hundred students. Two parallel courses, vocational and industrial, will be offered, enabling the pupil to specialize in senior high school. The large, completely equipped gyinnasium, ninty feet long and lifty feet wide, will he on the first floor. It will seat seven hundred and will pro- vide ainple space for all athletic contests. The principal's office, the teachers' rest-room, the domestic art and science departments, and the hoys' industrial department will also he located on the first floor. The auditorium on the second floor will have a seating capacity of one thousand persons. It will he used as a community center. The third lloor will he equipped as class- rooms. lt is quite prohahle that within the next few years a senior high school will he erected in the center of the city, and the present structure will he used exclusively as a west side junior high school building. -john Peterson WJ ARSONWI jzlumnz' The Alumni of Parsons High School began years ago when Mrs. S. M. Gregg, the only member of the class, completed her high school course. Since that time the number of graduates has increased each' year until, in 1920, there were fifty-one students in the graduating Class. Although it is impossible to publish a complete list of all the students who have graduated from Parsons High School,we have not forgotten them, for we realize that they have played an important part in making our high school a successful OHS.

ARSON it-N f ff' THE GREAT FALL AT PITTSBURG Behold a crowd of one hundred and eighty-five people leaving the Frisco station for Pittsburg on the bright and sunny morning of April 28, 1921, A. D. It was then that one of Parsons' best men fell into the clutches of Louise Smith, alias jitiy Jell. To keep the dear people from worrying about thehgiwelfarc of our man, we shall tell you his name-Clarence Martin, the brother of Ray-who fell so hard a few years ago. Louise, the vamp, cornered him. At first he was very reluctant to listen. As it is a long ride to Pittsburg-about two hours--she had plenty of time to turn him from a woman hater into a dutiful admirer of Louise Smith. The crowd arrived at Pittsburg, and as everybody was busy, little attention was paid to the devoted couple. Later they were seen strolling in the quiet cool spots of the S. M. T. N. campus. Time passed swiftly for them, because they were both young, happy, and foolish. All contestants were given free tickets for the evening concert, but poor Bill tried to express his gratitude and undying love by purchasing two orchestra circle seats. The concert was simply won- derful and such sympathetic music fell on the ears of two very attentive listeners in the audience. After the concert they strolled from the Carney Hall to the station, gazing at the stars and dreaming of days to come. VVhen the party reached Parsons, Bill and Louise went straight home instead of engaging in the playful frolics of the other students. On Friday, April 29, 1921, A. D., at 1:15 neither of them were present, and the school was in a tremendous turmoil. Although time will tell as to the outcome of this startling episode, we all hope that it will end happily. P.

He entered the barn, so well known to us all, Where his chief occupation has been all fallg Right over the carburetor with teakettle he poured Enough boiling water to drown said Ford. But the water was stubborn, or something or other, And Pa had to call the help of young brotherg Young son rushed in, just as proud as could be To think that father should want such as he. They worked and they swore, they sweated and roared: It seemed no mortal could crank such a Ford. At last they decided with renewed good will They'd push the thing right down the hill. So out they shoved it with all their might. I just had to snicker 'twas such a sightg They ran to the bottom but with no avail, It seemed as if every new project would fail. But with courage and strength that is in some men They grabbed that crank and spun it again, And, would you listen! a sound is heardg At last they've succeeded in cranking the bird. Now happy as larks and no longer bored, They jumped right in and started the Ford, Right' oli down the road it smoothly ran And oh, but my pa was a happy man. -Lorene Hildebrand Hiawatha BEAT ING FATHER VVhat did your little ones say when you told lilC1Il there is no Santa T Claus?

Q 1 N THE DIFFICULTY .Nils A POEM OF 1921 It was midnight on the ocean, Not a street car was in sight, The sun was shining brightly For it had rained all day that night. It was a summer's day that winter and The rain was snowing fast, While a barefoot girl, with shoes on Stood sitting in the grass. It was evening and the rising sun, Was setting in the west, While the little fishes in the trees Were cuddled in their nest. The The And Was The The rain was simply pouring down, sun was shining bright, everything that you could see hidden out of sight. organ peeled potatoes, chorus rendered lard, , While the sexton rung the dish-rag, Someone set the church on fire. Holy Smoke , the preacher shouted, He madly tore his hair, , Now his head resembles heaven For there is no parting there. Do you think, dearest, that you could manage on my salary? the fond youth asked. ' Why, yes, I think I could, darling, the sweet girl responded. But how in the world would you get along? I -The Home Sector REASSURING HER A sailor had been showing an old lady over a large liner, and after thanking him she suddenly remarked, I see that, according to the ship's orders, tips are forbidden. The sailor then turned to the visitor and, with a knowing look, answered, Bless yer, ma'am, so were apples in the Garden of Eden. 'xxx Y.b' xx WHAT IS LIFE TO YOU? To the preacher life's a sermon, To the joker it's a jest. To the miser life is money, To the loafer life is rest. To the lawyer life's a trial, To the poet life's a song. To the doctor life's a patient That needs treatment right along. To the soldier life's a battle, To the teacher life's a school. Life's a good thing to the grafterg It's a failure to the fool. To the man upon the engine Life's a long and heavy grade, It's a gamble to the gambler, To the merchant life is trade. Life is but a long vacation To the man who loves his work, Life's an everlasting effort To shun duty, to the shirk. To the earnest Christian worker Life's a story ever new, Life is what we try to make it- Brother, what is life to you? --Selected , GUM CHEWING CONTEST On Thursday, February 10, 1921, a gum chewing contest was held in the first hour typing class. The contestants showed much training and ability. The contest, however, had not been previously planned, therefore, some of the class were not prepared to take part in the sport. The judges, Mr. Piatt and Mr. Koontz, have had considerable experi- ence in gtun chewing contests. After considering ability, speed, and rhythm of the contestants, the first place was awarded to Miss Florene Peters. The prize was a small gold circle pin. Miss Peters is to retain possession of this pin until some other student wins the championship. Miss Peters is a very ambitious young.lady and we hope that she will not be compelled to give up her prize.
