THE LAGONDA 1939 PUBLISHED BY THE JUNIOR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, WINFIELD, KANSAS Shake Hands, Vikings Here we are with a bright new Lagondan for your approval. We hope you like it. Our theme is Hands . We have attempted to stress the im- portance of these commonplace appendages and the interesting part they play in the various act- ivities about the school. The shapely hands of a talented pian- ist, the fc-rceful fist of a deter- mined debater, the dexterous digits of a cool chemist, we could go on at great length, but examine the following pages and see for yourself. In selecting the outstanding activities of our school, we have used our best judgment. If by our efforts we have suc- ceeded in helping you to preserve pleasant memories of Winfield high school, we shall feel amply repaid.

IN EACH successive year, as the realm of education ex- pands, the moving vital influence of the hands that guide our quest for knowledge is more keenly felt. Never before have students of Winfield schools had more reason to be proud of the superintendent of the Winfield school system. Mr. Evans is known asaquiet kindly man who offers proof of his merit more often by deed than by word, and who is en- dowed with the natural characteristics of a leader. He is also distinguished by his ingenious wit, and no speaker is more ap- preciatively enjoyed. That he is recognized as a progressive and brilliant educator is exemplified by his election to the office of President of the Kansas State Teachers' Association for 1938-39. It is with appreciation of all he has contributed to Winfield and to its schools, that we dedicate this Lagondan to Mr. Evans, with the sincere hope that the memories of this year may be Preserved a t U WNAQ -A ,. .,,. - .... ........,,.,.,,...., .., Page 3 HANDIEST FIVE OF 1938-'39 K3 Myer Dilworlh Plank Jarvis Fink Each spring as the custom in Winfield high school, five out- standing seniors are chosen as honor students.

Mft, Page 4 Throughout the school year students of Winfield city schools expectantly await the deliverance of the Oracles. Let us travel then to Room 219 where the journalism class daily holds session under the capable direction of Miss Helen Shrader. Upon entering the room you might be greeted by the looney tunes of Bill Brant, one of our versatile sports editors. Assisting Bill is his colleague, Bob Orahood, who needs no intro- duction. There's never a dull moment when this flashy senior is present. Gerrie Tuttle is never found in one place for long. The peppy Oracle editor gets things done in short order. Bill Nisbet too, keeps the halls busy as he goes after the low- down on what's going on in our music department. Just in front of Miss Shrader's desk you may see a huddle of curly locks ffemininej and they belong to the Four Fun Lovers, Nina Lamoree, Lily Demieville, Mary Aileen Alstrom, and Ruth McBride, reporters and associate editors respectively. These girls find diversion in heckling their stuflious neighbor, Scoop Myer our editorial and forensic genius. On 'iOracle Friday, Dorothy Dunbar, the class Hcut-up and mailing clerk and her faithful friends wrap the i'jillion Oracles for mailing. Hoisting the white peace flag she enlists the aid of our genial exchange editor, Har- old Snyder, who raids the files, collecting the snappy jokes which form an important feature of the paper. Jean Dilworth aids Dorothy in producing the Now Stop That column and keeping the class lively. James Peterson and Helen Bush also rate high in getting the dope that makes our paper click. Patty Yorke, feature editor, adds a sweet note of interest and does much in creating a pleasant class period. As an extra-super proofreader and all around handy man, Hugh Calvin, an associate editor rates tops in the journalism class. Last but not least, we recognize the foundation of the advertising solicitors. These are Donald Groves, Cecil King, Dorothy Will- iams, Bob Hughes and Vic Allen. The positions of these journa- lists on the Lagondon staff are given in the chart below. We wish also to call special attention to the following people: Virginia Baker, for the Remem- ber page: Dale Minear, for the cover design: Donald Groves and Cecil King for their excellent pho- tography work.

IT IS interesting to contem- plate the theme picture of this vol- ume and realize it's significance. Labor is essential. Without it, re- sources and capital are nothing. From one point of view a major function of education is to help youth to learn to labor effective- ly. And if we accept the demo- cratic ideal of education, which implies that all of the boys and girls should be taught to labor effectively and live happily, then the task becomes one of tremen- duous significance. To those of you who are leaving our portals this year, and to those who will leave in years to come We ex- press the hope, that somewhere in your life's experience in this school, through our varied pro- Page 5 gram of interests and activities, you will have found an interest and purpose in life, and activities that you enjoy, that will lead you to a vocation of service and a joy of living that will make the world richer for your presence.

Six years ago we boarded the S. S. W. H. S. for a cruise that was to take us through the chan- nels of our high school life. We have been through storms and strife, wind and calm, but from year to year we have made pro- gress. Some have been lost at sea, many have gone with the tide, but to most of us, it will be re- membered as the happiest voyage we have ever made. Although we consider ourselves able to journey on through life without the help of this particular sailing vessel, it is fun to look back and remem- ber the things that we did and have accomplished since we were the, under-dogs. Perhaps we have done some things that aren't worth remembering, of course we have all made mistakes and regret some of the courses we have taken, but all in all our par- ticular part in the activities of the S. S. W. H. S. have been highly commendable, and will be remembe. ed long after we no longer grace the decks of the re- liable and old faithful steamer. This hasn't been just an ordinary voyage, it has been one of lasting importance, and we will treasure the thought of having been on this particular ship, more and more as we leave and start on the second lap of this journey called life. But right now for memories sake and our travels' souvenir, we will try to relate a few of the high spots of the voyage. We came on- board for the first time as seventh graders, and se- lected Gene Gereke to be our cap- tain.

Our sailing was fairly smooth, and the parents reception and various banquets werelthe highlights of the trip. The two young actors, Bob Misak and Bob 0rahood,were the only seventh graders to make the junior high play cast. Our first year was so success- ful that Gene Gereke was chosen as captain for the second year. By this time we were becoming more accustomed to the journey and steamer, and we were all be- coming more active. This year's crew included Mel- vil Hanna, Georgia Weathers, Harry Gibbs, and Martha J. Horn- aday, We were again thrilled with the various social events, and the eighth grade gave a separate play as a part of the annual junior high play. It was entitled The Date, and the cast included Martha J. Hornaday, Jean Dilworth, Bill Nisbet, Margarette Garrison, Robert Cantrell, Doris Robinson, Ardonna Adams, Robert Orahood, Robert Misak and Hugh Calvin. Three of this group distinguished themselves by winning in the O.K. League contest held at Well- ington. These were Janis McPeek, flute, Bob Misak, horn, Bob Thompson, tuba. As we began our third year of the voyage, we were in complete command of the junior high school. Gene Gereke was again the captain of the ninth grade, but Melvil Hanna was the successful captain of the entire junior high, The ninth grade crew of officers was made up of Augustus Dou- thitt, Nancy Jarvis, Le Moyne Browning and Lois Barker. Mel- vil's crew consisted of Howard Fink and Rosemary Streubing. The junior high Girl Reserves were headed by Jean Dilworth as the commanding officer, and her principal sailors were Marjorie Plank, Margarette Garrison and Page 10 Rcminiscinq Doris Robinson. The big moment in the lives of the Girl Reserve officers of that year was the successful banquet for the dads and daughters. The theme was International Relations, and the various ta- bles were decorated to represent different countries. Bob Orahood was the Hi-Y commanding officer and Kenneth Love, Mark Altvater and John Hanlen served as his principal crew. The O.K. League contest gave many laurels to the Winfield en- tries. The orchestra, in which many of our freshmen participat- ed, won first place. Our soloists who won first in their respective contests included Janis McPeek, flute: Jean Dilworth, clarinetg Mark Altvater, oboe: Bob Thomp- son, tuba: Hugh Calvin, string bass: Margie Miller, girls' low voice: and John Yianakopulos, boys' changed voice.

Various other events took our attention. and as we sailed along as the junior high commanding officers, our year was very successful and very eventful. The following year we were taken on deck as sophomores for our fourth year of the voyage. We were again in a new swirl of activities having just emerged from the junior high, to the po- sition of the gobs in the senior high. This year we were all chos- en into societies. By thistime many of our sailors had been lost at sea, and others st pped at var- ious other ports along the route. But all in all, we were moving right along, and the sophomore commanding o f f i c e r s, Melvil Hanna, Mark Altvater and Mar- tha J. Hornaday were able to keep our steamer in the right course, and our sailing was fairly smooth. Many of our sailors again prov- ed their worth in society plays, music, debate, and Bob Orahood won the Ark Valley forensic con- test. We made progress, but it was rather slow since we were still unaccustomed to the ways of the senior high. As we journeyed on we finally came to our fifth year of travel- ing, and this year we were jun- iors. This year brought many more society activities to our mind, and by this time we were in full stride of the senior high. We were becoming more active and more vitally interested in the school activities. We had many participants in the various 'never to be forgotten' pep assemblieS, Page 12 Rcminiscinq and class activities. Our captain was again Melvil Hanna, and his assisting officers were Mark Alt- vater and Ardonna Adams. This year was a very busy one, since we were all taking on new jobs in the societies and various other activities. Many of our students were in the various society plays. Those taking part in the Alpha play included Audrey Watkins, Ralph Rosencrantz and Howard Fink. The Alpha play was The Goose Hangs High. and it was greeted with much success. The Philo play was a thrilling mys- tery story, Mystery in the Lib- rary. Those present seniors that took part were Bob Orahood, Cecil King, Marian Garrick. The Die Beste Society presented Ex- press Yourself , with Bob Misak and Christine Pettit carrying the romantic roles. Our own class play, athree-act comedy, Remember the Day was a definite success. The story of this play centered around a high school lad who thought he was in love with his teacher. The lad, portrayed by Bob Orahood, got into many embarrassing sit- uations, and caused the teacher, Nancy Jarvis, much anxiety. His mother, Jean Dilworth, never knew what to expect next, and the little neighbor girl, Lily Dem- ieville, couldn't understand why Dewey should want the teach- er when he knew that the neigh- bor girl was just waiting for him to look her way.

The theme used was that of a jail, of the brig of a steamer, and all food and decorations were carried out with that idea. The program was furnished by the Collegian d a n c e band. There were various musical and dance numbers. Gerald Tucker was the toast-master, and the evening was spent in fun and it was highly entertaining.

The group plays at all school plays, but for this year's senior play, they all appeared in full formal dress and played George Gersh- win's Rhapsody in Blue. fea- turing Nancy Jarvis at the piano. Our banquet was our last big social event. The theme of the banquet was Hawaii, and many beautiful decorations graced the walls of Recreaton hall for this gala occasion. The pro- gram and food were both corres- ponding to the theme, and it was indeed the greatest high spot of the entire voyage. It wasn't long after this great occasion that we had our big commencement pro- gram, fo l lo wed by the formal closing of the journey. Well seniors, no longer will we trod the decks of the good ship W.H.S. As we look back over our long voyage, is it any wonder that we hesitate for a moment as we sing our Alma Mater, and walk down the gang-plank for the last time? We've been on one of the best Steamers afloat, and all of our officers and each and every member of the crew has done a commendable job. Good-bye Winfield High School! May the praises be yours for bringing us through the storms and obstacles, trials and tribulations, once again to port, but this time more ably and better educated men and women. N s Page 16 Nimble-Handed Viking Musicians Expand Activities of Department ii-71l As this goes to the compositor, the Department of Music will be bringing to a close its 33rd year. The year has been marked by smooth and even progress toward those departmental objectives which have through the many years been mileposts along the way to high inter-scholastic standing. The orchestra has been rehearsed and built on the idea for a concert performing season rather than a contesting group. In so doing this season's or- chestra has covered more material than any other such group in the past. The orchestra has presented more concerts this season than ever before. Although the W.H.S. band isn't so old as the orchestra, its development has been almost unbe- lievably rapid. This year it has been the largest in the band history of W.H.S., and not only the larg- est, but also the best. The band was featured in a concert at a local theater early in the winterg the proceeds were used for new instruments and uniforms, for the purpose of expansion. ,The band has been doing more street work, and is looking forward to establishing itself as a regular marching band next year. The Little Theatre orchestra appeared at all high school plays, and by adding a group of charac- ters to furnish the gyrations, the two groups form- ed the Thimble Theatre Co. One of the major achievements of the vocal de- partment was the Christmas concert given Dec. 22, in which all the choruses and small ensembles par- ticipated. For the finale all the groups joined in .w . ' U A i l Woodwind quartet: Pictured from left to ri gfht is Betty Jean Dilworth, Janis McPeek, Betty Mat- thews, and Margarette Garrison. singing carols, with responses sung by the boy's quartet, Twenty-two members of the mixed chorus attended the Southwestern Kansas Music Festival held in Wichita, February 2-4, and sang with a chorus of 576 vocies under the direction of Mrs. Carol M. Pitts. The inspiration received from Mrs. Pitts helped to give the students a better under- standing of choral music. Winfield received 26 highly superiors in the an- nual Southwestern College Music contest. Of the 26 wins, 11 of these were won by various ensembles and the remainder by the various soloists. One of the groups to win the highly superior was the boy's vocal quartet. This group was com- posed of Gerald Tucker, lst tenor: Bill Nisbet, 2nd tenorg Bob Sunderland, baritone: and Howard Fink, bass. This group has been in popular demand throughout the entire school season. The boys have .ff W hfjff is A is Boy's Quartet: Left to Rightg lst Tenor, Gerald Tucker: 2nd Tenor, Bi ll N is b e tg Baritone, Bob Sunderland: Bass, Howard Fink. sung at various banquets, they were very popular with the student body, and have participated in many assemblies. Another ensemble with a highly superior rat- ing was the woodwind quartet. This group con- sisted of Janice McPeek, lst flute: Betty Matthews, 2nd flute: Jean Dilworth, lst clarinet: and Mar- garette Garrison, 2nd clarinet. This quartet was started into rehearsal two years ago, and has won all the contests it has participated in. The string quartet, composed of Dorothy Mc- Connell, violin: Genevieve Daves, violin: Dorothy Dunbar, viola: Marcia Barbour, 'cello, was another winner of a highly superior rating in the Southwest- ern contest. This ensemble has played for many outside activities, and is in constant demand for assembly programs. Although the string quartet is not a new idea in ensemble work, this particular quartet has been outstanding in the high grade of Page 17 Back in vocal department again, we find a new group this year in presenting the mixed quartet. This quartet included Evelyn Wheeler, Marjorie Plank, Hugh Calvin, and Paul Wycoff. Although not popularized to a great extent, this ensemble was one of the outstanding highly superior entries in the contest. Keeping up the reputation as being one of the finest orchestras in this part of the country, .the high school orchestra again won a highly superior in the Southwestern contest. The contest number was the overture from Hansel and Gretel. Through the efforts of the students and the con- ductor, Paul Painter, the orchestra of this season is better than ever. Perhaps this same phrase has been used before,but as Mr. Painter himself explain- ed, each year the groups advance to a higher qual- ity: and this season has been one of the highest spots and peaks of advancement, particularly for this year's orchestra. In the ensemble division again we present the woodwind trio. This ensemble won in the South- western contest, and also performed in the Young Artists Recital. It's personel consists of Jean Dilworth, clarinet: Wade Fite, oboe: and Betty Matthews, flute. This group had been rehearsed but a few times, and wasa new addition in the en- semble division. Although the brass sextette did not enter com- petition in the Southwestern contest, they won their highly superior in the Wichita district contest. By so doing they won the privilege of playing in the National Regional at Colorado Springs. The personal includes Bob Misak, horn: Ernest Gentry, cornet: Forest Robinson, cornet: Gerald Nolan, baritone: Bob Thompson, tuba: and Bob Riggs, work it has maintained throughout the year. trombone. 44, ..

The intra-mural tournament held among the students enrolled in the two debate classes here was won by Audrey Watkins and Tom Myer. Representing W. H. S. in the Ark Valley tournament were Au- drey Watkins, Tom Myer, and Joe Shaw, substitute, on the af- firmative, and Bill Nisbet, Mar- garette Garrison, and John Divil- biss, substitute, on the negative.

Unbeaten until the big upset at lil llorado the home squad look- ed to a clear sky. When East fol- lowed t h e Wildcat t r i u m p h, things looked dark in the Viking galleys.

The fact that both the high school and college teams were conference, regional, state, and intercollegiate winners the same year marked Winfield as the basketball capital ofthe Ju N3 25' , sf X world.

Coach Ralph Titus worked this year in order to turn out a win- ning team, and his efforts prov- ed successful assfar as the Ark Valley records stand. Losing to Ark City in the Wellington tour- nament gave the Winfield juniors second place. The first junky? high game was played art Ark City. Stout went out on personals which was perhaps the cause of losing 17- 13 in favor of Ark City. Ponca City then journeyed to our courts and the Vikings, made up large- ly of the second team, won 18-16. The Newton junio' s put up a stiff fight when they came to Winfield, but Joe Thornton made a free toss which won the game 11-10 in fav- or of Winfield. The juniors then made a trip to Wellington, winn- ing 19-10 in which Stout was the main charactev of the team, mak- ing nine points. The old rival, A' k City, invaded the home court and Winfield, af- ter having a six point lead at the half, lost 19-14. After the baby Vikings were defeated by Ark City, they took out their revenge on Newton and won 13-11. Well- home-town juniors 10-4. The sec- ond team played most of the time in that game. The last game was played at Ponca City. This was another victory for Winfield with a score of 14-10. There were three teams tied for first place at the end of the season and the officials decided to recognize the winner of the tournament as Ark Valley cham- pions. Winfield was nosed out by Ark City and lost the champion- ship by a few points. This years VikingJunior high squad was composed of Gail Stout, J. R. Yarbrough, Kenneth Fur- low, Bill Thornton, Lyman Weigle, Harold Rogers, Mac Alloway, Joe Thornton, Bill Winfrey and Ted Mc Allister. Gail Stout was the spark of the squad in many games and with his swiftness and sharpshooting was a valuable asset to the team. Joe Thornton was appointed cap- tain of the team and with his twin brother, Bill, also on the team, there were several mix-ups and humorous incidents reported in playing the other towns.

Folck, made a fine record. In the opening quadrangular meet here they placed third, and at a triangular affair at El Dora- do they finished second with Max Young as low medalist. The pas- ture squad placed third in the Ark Valley, and again Max Young was low medalist. They plan to at.tend an invitation tour- nament at Wichita on May 12 and the state meet on May 20. Max Young is only a junior and shows promise of developing into one of the greatest golfers in Valley history. W.H.S. expects great things of him next season. Fleet-Footed Vikings Beat Cinders to Pieces Coach Titus reports that from 35 to 40 boys turned out at the beginning of the track season. This is the largest turnout that he has had for track at W.H.S. The school bought new com- plete suits and warm-ups for the squad this year, whereas in the past only warm-ups have been furnished. On March 31 the tracksters won a triangular meet at Black- well, defeating Blackwell a n d Ark City. On April 11 Winfield placed second at an invitational meet at Ark City. On April 15 the Vik- ings went to Anthony and placed fourth among 70 Kansas schools. At Wichita on May 6 they wound up their season with a rating of sixth in the Ark Valley. The Anthony meet was attend- ed by 1,100 athletes and was the largest event of its kind sponsored by a Kansas high school. Leading W.H.S. cinder pound- ers were Adrian Shockey, Ho- bert Hickey, Bob Shepherd, Joe Werner, Charles Jones, Bob Hughes, Jack Weddle, Earl Cook, Ward Davis, and Max Stout. .. ,, MJ' ' Junior and Senior High Netmen Have success The tennis squad, under T.H. Vaughn, was undefeated in team play. At a Tulsa tournament G. Tucker ranked second in singles: in the Ark Valley he was secondg and at Tonkawa he retained his singles crown with ease. In the fall tournament he cap- tured the singles crown and with the aid of Douglas, Conley, and McDermott trounced Augusta, East, and Independence and tied North. The squad enters the regional meet here on May 13 and will go to the state meet on May 19. Of the junior netmen, Keith Bailey and Charles Cloud defeated an Ark City team early in the season. Barbour, Stuber, Hanlen, Cloud, Furlow, Durrin, Griffith, and McAllister s q u e l c h e d a junior high group from Black- well. Later in the season the Viking team was defeated by the Bulldog pack. 624 Alpha Society The Alphas entered into the year's field of activities in their usual high spir- it and loyalty,with Gerald Nolan as their president.
