The world, long over-shadowed by the clouds of conflict, now turns with hope and expectancy to what lies beyond. We may seek guidance from the past, but it is to the future that we must dedicate our endeavors. It is no longer the time just to plan for peaceg now the time has come to work for peace. This future is ours, not only to live in, but ours to fashion after our ideals. It is not only the leaders of nations, or the men seated around the conference table who will decide what is to come, but it is the individual who will ultimately make this decision. Upon his determination and will for peace lies the hope of the world and of civilization. The long words and impressive documents will not create peace where the spirit of peace is lacking. The true spirit of peace can be brought about .X V .44' 1 wg? by the editorf ,only by universal education, for it is only through such a plan that people can see the fallacies that lead to war. It is known now that peace is not merely the stopping or postponement of war, but that it must be the complete prevention of war, that the underlying evils that lead to war must be removed. This is realized by our peacemakers, who also realize that education is a valuable component of peace. They know that without education such fundamental causes of war as intolerance and insecurity cannot be entirely eradicated. At San Francisco, educators, for the first time in the world's history, took part in a peace conference, where a provision for education was written into the United Nations' Charter, under the Economic and Social Council. As one of the most prominent educators at San Francisco was our superintendent of schools, and also president of the National Education QR ' - N. iff . iagfiigigfzr Q f KN w a y -- In , --Egg' N .

Of course, education alone cannot make or keep the peace, but without it all other factors will be useless. When the individual has learned to discriminate between truth and falsehood, when he is willing to discard his old intolerance in the face of new facts, then and only then will peace be secure. As was pointed out by one of the greatest of all peace- makers, Field Marshall -Ian Christian Smuts, of the Union of South Africa, Great as our achievement is, I feel that more is needed than a machine of peace. Unless the spirit to operate it is there, the best plan or machine may fail. The human factor ntust play its partf, And this human factor must be educated. . The future is ours. It is an immense undertaking, but with a foundation of education and a knowledge of the value of our schools we may go to work for a better world. With this in mind, we dedicate the 1946 edition of the Quiverian to peace-with the sincere hope and expectation that through our school endeavors we may help to build the peace of our ideals. 0ll0l mf of gCll'l6l0tfQ These Wyandotte men gave their lives in the service of their country during the second world WCIY.

Many members of the class are in the armed forces while other members of this same class are veterans of World War Il. Mr. Francis Gregory has been the guide of the 446 seniors Who, for their annual play, backed the production of Charley's Aunt . Officers, left to right: Mr. Francis Gregory, sponsor, Bruce Talmadge, Treasurer, Iris Coldwell, secretary, Donald Simcox, vice- presidenfp Hugh McCaughey, president.

Funds for it were raised from the junior play, junior Miss, an hilarious 3-act comedy presented in Feb- ruary. The 58l students, comprising the junior class, are sponsored by Miss Louise Tirnmer. Now they are eagerly anticipating being seniors next year when they can take the leading roll in school activities.

The next three years will be busy ones for these 218 freshmen as they prepare themselves for future life and equip themselves with knowledge that will aid the nation in carrying out peace plans. Freshmen have been sponsorless since Mr Miles Eaton was transferred to junior College.

Parties sponsored by school or- ganizations ranged from ice- skating to formal dances, reflect- ing the varied interests of Wy- andotte pupils. The first mixer of the year was sponsored by the Girls' League, and held in the gym after the football game with East High. -The Swingmasters provided the music, as they did for the Sweetheart Hop after the never-to-be-forgotten Hutch- inson basketball game. Spon- sored by the Boys' Club, this event was climaxed by the crowning of Norma Jeanne Nel- son and Don Rupp as Sweet- heart King and Queen. To honor the football team, the Kay Cees held their formal banquet and dance at the Sky- Hy Roof of the Hotel Conti- nental on Nov. 30 The Kay Cees basketball party on March 22 featured dinner in the cafe- teria and dancing in the Social gg Hall. This year as always the junior-Senior Prom in May was an occasion long awaited and long remembered. As an important part ol Wyandotte social life, the Girls' League began the year with the Pale Face Pow-Wow, a com- plete tour through the halls and tunnels of the school, ending with refreshments and a pro- gram in the cafeteria. This was followed by a bowling tourna- ment in January, two ice-skating parties at the Pla-Mor, and a roller skating party. No picture of Wyandotte social life would be complete unless it included Kanine Ken- nels, the youth center sponsored by the Women's Service League. The Doghouse , as it is more commonly called, provided a place to dance, play games, for just to talk to friends, on the three nights a week it was open. Under the direction of Mayor Bill Brownrigg, special student committees planned Christmas and Valentine's parties held at the Kennels. parfied s 1 Upper-Boys' W Club King and Queen of Hearfs, Don Rupp and Norma Jeanne Nelson Lower-Mixer in the gym after the Hutchinson basketball game Page Thirty-five JAWS?

Student talent, music, oupside entertainers, and lecturers have all been included. One of the first assemblies was the program in- troducing Wyandotte to new girls, presented by the Girls' League. Later came Pamashika's Pets, a group of trained animal acts. An inspiring talk was given by Mr. Cameron Beck, and students had the opportunity of hearing Superintendent F. L. Schlagle, who spoke of his experiences in attend- ing the San Francisco and London conferences. The Hi-Y again presented a student talent show in which first prize was awarded to Sinatra-singer Chester Smith, second prize to George Suptic, who played on the piano and the piano-accordian, third prize to magician Bob Klamm, and fourth prize to the Four Pink Spots. The Navy Day assembly included a film, The Fleet That Came To Stay and talks by Navy men. The music department made an i appearance with the orches- tra concert held in Decem- ber, and soon followed through with the band con- cert in January. Memorable as ever was the traditional Christmas assembly put on by music and drama stu- dents. W Club initiation assembly-President Al Sheriff presents Don Rupp fhe prize for 'doing ihe most pushups.

A note of magic was entered with che appearance of Torrini and Phyllis. One of the last of the year's programs was the Mc- Cormick assembly. Pep assemblies were held at various times during the year, giving the students a chance to release their spirits and cheer their teams on to victory.

Quiverian by joan Gregory and Mary Cecilia Medved As you glance through this yearis Quiverian, we hope that it has recorded all the events that have made this year important for you. Work on the yearbook began immediately after the opening of school and soon the editors, Joan Gregory and Mary Cecilia Medved, found themselves absorbed in tentative plans. The staff was organized and Mr. Lawrence Tharp, adviser, undertook' the job of keeping things going on the right track. Working with Mr. Tharp, Steve Blum started to take and develop the photographs which illustrate so vividly the various aspects of school life presented in these pages. Zola Parke designed the special peace cover, while Jeanne Schaulis created those snappy division pages. Cartoons are the work of Keith Trevault and Jim Cook. Everyone pitched in to help with the senior section and surrounded by rulers, pencils, paper cutters, glue and brushes, this job was done in record time. A 'competent writing staff also shared in making this Quiverian an interesting and Complete account of the year 1945-46. Achievements in the world of sports were expertly reported by Bob Young, Fred Cross, Jack Hume, and Gerald Rushfeltg while Wilma Hanson, Iris Caldwell, Zola Parke, Marian Murphy, Janet Gregory, Caryl Laws, and Charlene Lashbrook capably depicted clubs and their activities. Connie Metaxas, Joan Degenhardt, Janet Gregory, and Fred Cross efficiently covered the other facts and happenings of the year. Hard working typists and picture-pasters were Peggy Mc- Knight, Barbara Brown, Virginia Clough, Carol Nickum, Doris Bondank, Jean Silady, Norma Van Dorn, Shirley Taff, Dorothy McMahon, and Mary Ann Hodges. All in all, thirty people made up the entire staff of this year's Quiverian. A host of pictures was . taken, long hours were spent in planning and organizing material, and staff members painstak- ingly gathered and veri- fied information about the things in which you are interested. This book was written for you. -We hope that it meets with your ap- proval and that you will enjoy reading it, not only now, but in the years to come.

They had to cope not only with the many and varied problems that would naturally befall such a small staff, but they also had to contend with the difficulties caused by shortages which continued despite the war's end. However, by careful organization, by diligent work, and steadfast determination of everyone on the staff, twenty- eight issues of the Panto were distributed, thus successfully completing the twenty-seventh year of Panto publication. The Panto eds, Mildred Gulnik and Connie Metaxas, set a record by holding down the position of co-editors both semesters. This is the first instance in the annals of the school paper, that co-editors have retained their positions all year. Working in the capacity as first page editor the entire year was Mary Cecilia Medved, while Dick Keltner, only boy on the staff, attended to sport's editor duties both semesters. Directing their efforts toward the feature page were Vera Claxton and Barbara Brune the first semester, with Jeanette Dalaba and the page assistants, Wilma Miller and Norma Carter, gathering news for third page. During thc second semester, Vera and Jeanette were feature editors while Barbara took over third page. Mr. G. W. Corporon returned in November to resume his duties as journalism adviser after having been gone over two years, during which time he served as combat historian with our armies in Europe. Miss Alice McTaggart was the Panto adviser this year until Mr. Corporon's return. Highlighting the year,s achievements were the April Fool's issue, the special basketball and swimming issue and the Christmas edition. Continuing the practice begun by former staffs, copies of the Panto were sent to all alumni serving with the armed forces.

Page Forfy-fhree Debate by joan Gregory 1 Standing, le-ff fo right: Mr. Jensen, Don Seamans, Ted Clevenger. Seated: Joan Gregory, Fred Cross. A stream of oratory or a flurry of quote cards signifies a debater, probably located somewhere be- tween the library and the room of Coach Leonard Jensen. These debaters enjoy themselves while working towards the goals of alert thinking, clear expression of ideas, poise, and a good speaking voice. Several tournaments offer them the chance to try their skill against that of teams from other schools throughout Kansas and Missouri. These contests are always enjoyable and give valuable experience, whether or not they are won. Thus it was not a useless season for the Barking Page Forfy-four Dogs, even though it was comparatively unsuccessful. Advancing to the semi-finals at Pittsburg, Wyandotte was eliminated at Topeka, Shawnee Mission, and the regionals. The invitational tournament held here in January saw Russell capture highest honors, and Topeka take second. Wyandotte word-wranglers in their position as hosts to this successful tourney, dropped out after the preliminary rounds. In addition to participation in tournaments, these Jensenites render a valuable community service by presenting demonstration debates, round table dis- cussions, and talks before civic clubs, P.T.A. meetings, church groups, and other organizations. h Radio Production by joan Dagenham!!

Sever. Seated: Beverly White, Gene Reed, Rhoda Lee Lucas, Ernest Ward, Martha Wagner.- This Is Wyandotte starts off a fascinating fifteen minutes for members of the Radio Production class, which is under the direction of Miss Florence Hoar. This year, a variety of programs has been given to various groups throughout the city, and also at the veterans hospitals, Wadsworth and Leavenworth. In addition to the outside programs, the class, through the courtesy of station KCKN, had a weekly program, which started January 27, entitled This Is Wyandotte . Don Seamans, Charles Holt, Fred Cross, Beverly White, and Stella Goldfine were Wyandotte's participants on the KMBC Radio Work- shop, which was heard every Friday afternoon from 2:15 to 2:30 o'clock. To become a member of this class one must have the approval of the instructor, Miss Hoar. Included in the course is the learning of radio terms, script writing, participation in scripts given on the radio and directing of programs. One also learns of the varied vocations offered in the large field of radio, and that time is the most important factor in the radio industry. The class was resumed this year after being dis- continued in 1944. Officers for the year were: Don Seamans - president, Fred Cross - vice-president, Beverly White--secretary, and jim Davidson- tfeilsllfef.

Closing their season at Lawrence on Thanksgiving Day, the Bulldogs chalked up six wins, two ties, and one loss for an average of .857. The first touchdown of the season came after a 76-yard running- passing attack, with Don Wilson plunging from the three yard line. A Wyandotte fumble in the fourth quarter gave Central of Kansas City, Missouri, the opportunity to score the tying six points. Wyandotte's passing attack, Wilson throwing with ends H. L. Hammond and Bob Mackish receiving, spelled a 6-0 defeat for the Shawnee Mission Indians. Wilson smashed over from two yards out for the tally. First to feel the Bulldog's strength were the Leavenworth Pioneers. In winning 25-O, Wyandotte pushed across four touch- downs and a conversion. jack Phillips, streaking fullback, scored twice, once on a 70-yard run. Wilson and Dale Harvey accounted for the other two scores. Clay Coburn Don Jolley Eugene Bukoty Guard Tackle Halfback Senior-2 yrs. Senior-2 yrs, Senior-2 yrs. H. L.

A week later the Bulldogs bounded back to pin a 58-7 defeat on East High of -Kansas City, Mis- souri. Wilson scored twice, while Sheriff, Dave Boddington, and Bill Brownrigg made one each. It was a determined Bulldog that took on the powerful Lawrence Lion, Thanksgiving at Haskell Stadium. Wyandotte's line put up a stubborn de- fense, allowing two Lawrence touchdowns in the first quarter and then holding firmly until the final minutes. But, possibly because Mackish, Schmidt and Blazer were out of the lineup because of injuries, Wyandotte was unable to get its offensive rolling, and Lawrence came out on top, 19-O.

Page Fifty-four X ,' Basketball J by Robert Young Winning both the city and the regional championships, the Wyan- dotte Basketeers presented as interesting a season of basketball as local fans have seen in recent years. They also gave dopesters a season of headache as the outcome of nearly every game was contrary to predictions. Of the twenty-three games played, fifteen were Bulldog victories. Coach Marion A. Wools had four returning lettermen to form the nucleus of the 1945-46 squad when practice began in November. These were Don Jolley, Hugh McCaughey, Bob Mackish, and Don Wilson. It was not a sneak attack, but December seventh found the Central Eagles unprepared for the Bulldogs. Following the 49-35 victory over Central, Wyandotte defeated Rosedale, 37-20. It was in the third game that the Red and White boys first tasted defeat, bowing to North- east, 46-37.

In a game the following evening, the boys were upset, 23-27, by Olathe. A brief Christmas holiday rest left the Canines ready to pin their eighteenth successive defeat on Rosedale. After sweating out an hour of dark- ness due to a power breakdown, the Bulldogs were again upset, 25-27, in the Argentine game. Although rated 10-point underdogs, in the Topeka tilt, Wyandotte roared through with a 45-36 win. Eighteen and sixteen points were poured through the nets by Mackish and Jolley, respectively. In the next game, Ward ran up a 7-0 lead before the Bulldogs began to roll. The Cyclones were unable to match Wyandotte's speed, however and dropped the game, 29-40. The Lawrence Lions were next whipped by the Bulldogs, 23-29. Hitting the road for a weekend, the Wyandotte quintet brought back victories over Pittsburg and Coffeyville. Don Burchfield netted 21 points on the trip. In a hotly contested home game, Salina, defending state champion, was nosed out 35-53. Free throws by Bob Laird and Don Wilson decided the outcome in the final minute.

Columbus, 31-45, and to Ward, 25-27. The revenge- seeking Topeka and Shawnee squads took advantage of the Wyandotte slump to win the next two games, 36-22 and 31-22, respectively. No one who saw the Hutchinson game can ever forget the hair-raising finish! With the Salthawks leading by three points, and less than half a minute left to play, Wilson dropped in his only goal of the game. Pat Nugent followed a few seconds later with the game-winning bucket. In the second round with Argentine, Wyandotte came out on the heavy end of a 45-25 score. It was this game that decided the city title. Ward bowed in the final game of the regular season, 41-28. In winning the regional crown, Wyandotte de- feated Leavenworth, 37-29, and Lawrence, 32-30. Emporia upset the Bulldogs, 28-27, in the first round of the State finals, and thus ended another successful basketball season for Wyandotte. Bob Mackish and Pat Nugent made the all city team with Mackish as captain. Burchfield and Laird were listed on the second team, while Jolley and Wilson re- ceived honorable men- tion. Mackish also re- ceived the distinction of being elected the hon- orary captain of the 1946 tearn. Page Fifty-seven Statistics Name Mackish ..... Nugent ..... Jolley ................ Bu rchtield ....

The squad which reported for practice early in December was composed of about twenty-five boys, most of whom were sophomores and juniors. With six returning lettermen forming a nucleus, Coach Roy molded a team, which, though relinquishing the state championship which it had held for three consecutive years, continued to be a fighting, driving wall of opposition.

Neel, Wyandotteis baseball team began its early spring workouts for the 1946 season. The returning members were Sid Rose, Don Wilson, Clay Coburn, Glen Richardson, Gene Bukaty, Al Placke, and Bernard Petrich. Last year the team entered in the first Kansas State Baseball tournament at Wichita, in which 16 teams participated. Wyandotte was eliminated by Wichita Cathedral, 2-0, in the first round, despite excellent five-hit pitching by Sid Rose. However, the Bulldog Nine did finish with a better than .500 average by winning four of itis seven regular games. Tennk Reporting for this year's tennis team were five members from last year's squad. Led by John Carlson, captain and only returning letterman, other members of the team were David Day, Kenneth Medearis, George Neilson, and Jim Wil- son. Because the team was temporarily without a coach it was sponsored by Francis Gregory. In 1945 the netsters won three of their five matches by defeating Westport, Southwest, and Rockhurst High Schools. The other two matches were lost to Topeka. In the State Tournament which . was held at Topeka, John Carlson was the only member to advance to the finals, while David Nesser and Donald Medearis were able to advance to the semi-finals.

' ii Page Sixty-seven Kfadd o 7946 As our high school days draw to a close, we look back over the four years that we have spent at Wyandotte and think of the year when we came to Wyandotte as fresh- men. lt didn't take us long to become acquainted and we were soon absorbed into the pattern of life at Vfyan- dotte. XVe enthusiastically tried to live up to the keynote for the year, On the Double , by joining the Victory Corps, taking part in an enlarged physical education program, and studying new courses geared to war needs. We also re- member the girl cheerleaders, the first in fifteen years, who stepped back into the limelight that year. The next year our class increased as graduates of the junior high schools joined us. All of us made new friends and looked forward to the year's activities. We entered again into the war effort with the schools- at-war program, by selling Wfar Stamps and Bonds in first f pf' Page Sixfy-eight by the editor! hours. During this year the first mixer was held. It proved such a hit with the students that two more were held later in the year. Since it was Leap Year, one of the mixers took the form of a Backward Party. Not to be outdone, our class also sponsored a mixer after school for sophomores only, and later, one for both sophomores and freshmen. Our sophomore year saw members of the class directing their efforts to activities in which they were particularly interested. Some of the boys turned their attention to sports. Some of us concentrated on dramatics, debate, or music, while others were enthusiastic club members. Many students attended summer classes conducted at Junior College for those who found it necessary to accelerate their courses. During our first years we also remember that we said good-bye to several of the faculty who left to serve in the armed forces. Last year we attained the title and some of the dignity of upperclassmen, when we entered the junior class. Led by the Student Cabinet, Kanine Kennels opened, and we spent many evenings out there dancing, playing checkers and ping-pong, eating, and just talking. For our annual play we presented The Passing of Third Floor Back. This was the year of Kay Cee parties, a wonderful Prom, and increased leadership in activities as a result of being almost seniorsn. And then-this year, our senior year, which has gone unbelievably fast. Constantly re- minding us that it was our last year of high school were senior pictures, class rings and pins, announcements, and last minute worry and work for the National Honor Society. The beginning of our senior year coincided almost exactly with the beginning of peace again, and just as many things about our first year were changed because of war, so were many things about our last year changed because of peace, such as new classes, veterans, increased enrollment, return of many teachers who had been , , with the armed services and a general attitude of thankfulness. There are so many little customs and activities that we have participated in at Wyandotte that have made our years here so memorable-the fighting bulldog spirit which the teams and students have always exhibited, the beautiful, traditional Christmas assembly and the zestful caroling in social hall during the holiday season while the logs blazed in the fireplaces and decora- tions greeted us at every turn-the all-school parties sponsored by the Girls' League, the plays, debate tournaments-and many, many others. X , . rl ,ff gX All too soon the flurry of graduation sweeps over us. The last Prom, baccalaureate services, and we don our caps and gowns, amidst the many congratu- lations and listen once more to the Glory of Wyan- dotte which somehow takes on new meaning now. 4 WILLARD E.
