JfU'NliQR HIESTORY The year of 1920 will always go down in the annals of school history for in that year a group of young people entered La Crosse Rural High School, whose greatest desire was to become as well edu- cateld as those honored and dignified Seniors. with whom they came in con ac . , The first few weeks were a horror to these young Freshmen as they were called. The rest of the school. especially the Solphomores. seemed to find great pleasure in tormenting them. Their feet were aired and the girls were taken back to childhood days, by braiding their hair in a multitude of small braids. As the upper classmen tired of this sport, the Freshmen had a few days of peace. Their teachers seeing this, piled great loads of wfork upon them, and demanded that it be in on time. Their hair turned gray during these days and lines of worry appeared on their faces. But little they cared. for they were to be Sophom-ores the next year and so their first year of high school passed. After three months they met again: some of the old group had left. while a few new ones joined their class. They took great joy in inflicting punishm-ent to the Freshmen of this year. After a few weeks they had to settle down for Mr. Wedel. the geometry teacher that year had a peculiar fancy that did not suit the Sophomores at all. That was: Memorize Theorem so and so and be able to prove it. They studied industriously all the year long with never a minute of rest. They were repaid at the end of the year. by promotion to the Junior Class. With this good news. they departed to their homes, eagerly awaiting the opening of school in September, when they would shine as Juniors. We began our third year of school with an enrollment of twenty- six. Although some of our classmen dropped school and some decided to finish school in three years. a few students from other schools joined us and thus we were consoled. Early in the year every Junior resolv- ed to w1ork hard and do his best to make the school year a success. Many difficulties arose during this term but were as quickly met. Among the foremost of these was the coming of Miss Terrell. When we found how much work she expected of us. our hearts sank within us and we thought we were very much abused. Horwever. we remembered our motto and went after the work with new entxhusiam, which only a student under Miss Terrell can understand. Days. weeks. and months went by, and we surprised ourselves with the amount of work we had accomplished. Strangely, too, we were still in perfect health. In spite of our hard work. we enjoyed ourselves and spent many happy times together. The school year is now steadily drawing to a close and after a few months var-ation we will be ready to take our places here again as honored Seniors. Clifford Adkinson M 4 'a 42 if ,.

The valley of experience divides the Freshmen from the Sopho- mores, the river of knowledge divides the Sophomores from the Juniors and the elders, the Seniors, are separated from these three by a very high mountain. In the year nineteen hundred and twenty one, thirty-three Freshmen gathered at the La Crosse High School under the direction of General Wedel and prepared to battle through and overcome their greenness. They took their dose before 8:45 Monday morning and the Sophoni-ores, Juniors and Seniors fairly smacked their lips at the sight of them. Soon the upper classmen began close in on them and they proceeded to braid the girls hair, making a display of hair pins and rats and also to take off the boys shoes. Then they were march- ed up through Main Street and back to the sch-ool house. This ended the fun until noon, but it did not end entirely. However, it was soon found out that their prey was too good natured to pester. In their Freshmen year they wisely selected Lena Smith as Pres., Marvin Turner as Vice Pres., aid Dorothy Miller as Sec'y-Treas. They also chose Brown and Gold for their colors and their motto, To Make Better Best. Their first important event was a hike, but the upper classmen took it upon t.hemselves to attend the Freshman hike also. However, they did not succeed in getting any of the eats except some pickles which were taken on Main Street before leaving town. In the year nineteen hundred twenty-two having crossed the val- ley of experience, they returned to be called Sophomores, and under- take the voyage across the river of knowledge. Some of their number be- longed to the spoils of battle by this time, but other members appeared to take their places. Since they were to be Sophomores, they held an election and chose officers which were the following: Dora Wilson, Pres., Rachel Renner, Vice Pres., and Clara Yost, Sec'y-Treas. The Sophomore tacky party marked an enjoyable event, which was held at the school house, all the faculty members present, and also the night watchman.

On, during the years, they progressed: some moved slowly, others rapidly, until in September, 1922, they were ready as a class to take the second great step in progress, the entering of La Crosse High School as a class of Freshmen. It seems that in this step there are always processes to be enjoyed and endured. One of the most enjoyable and sometimes pain- ful affairs was the initiation cerencony, attendance being compulsory. The most thrilling of incidents of the initiation was the running of the gauntlet and the introduction of new styles of fasion, including pigtails and stocking feet. A tour of the country was taken by some, which proved to be thrilling as well as healthful, since they had to walk back to town. As the years progressed, our steps toward education and culture have been rapid. Our heads are filled to overflowing with English and Algebra. We can talk to you in Latin C J or tell you of the reign of Kings and Queens of long ago. We are looking forward to the day when we shall be presidents, congressnfen, and men and women of great note.

Am-, 1 f ' 'Y N it-wotbail When the foot ball season of 1922 began, prospects were bright- er than ever before. with only one man lost through graduation. Paul Gross, quarter back and a member of two championship teams, was hired as coach and wfork began at once The first game of the season was with the mighty Ness City team who had only lost two garres in a period of two years. ,This ended in a defeat for La Crosse. The following Friday our ancient rival visited our city and retired with the short end of a score of 13 to 12. Don Kyle. star end and half back, received a pass and ran 60 yards for a touch-down in the last few minutes of play. On Home Coming Day Hoisington High trounced the La Crosse boys to the tune of 41 to 13. The game was played in the rrud and rain and the superior weight of the Hoisington boys could not bestop- ped. On the next Friday Mr-Cracken was played on the La Crosse field and was easily defeated bv a score of 26 to 6. The first game away from horre was l 'l3,V'3d at Burdette where the La Crosse team 'fist a hard fought battle bv the score of 12 to 6. Hays Highs gave the home team another defeat on the La Crosse field by a score of 12 to 0. Pansom High School was easilv defeated by the La Crosse team the next Friday, by a score of FR to 0. The game was featured bv the stellar performance of Alfred Turner who gained ground constantly. and was a demon at spiking. On Thanksgiving Day the team iourneyed to Bison accompani- ed by hundreds of loyal supporters and it was estimated that the larg- est crowd that ever attended the annual Turkey Battle was present. The game was fought from start to finish. neither team having any ad- vantage. and both teams playing in the best of form. The first three ouarters were played in the center of the field. being a punting dual be- tween Kvle of La Crosse, and Cooley of Bison. and only until the fourth ffnarter did either team corre in scoring distance. In this nuarter La Crosse carried the ball to the 3 yard line and were unable to go any farther. The game ended with the score of 0 to 0. , The entire season was in all, a lucky season as only a few minor iniurios were received bv members of the team. The members of the foot ball squad were royally entertained by tl'c ladies oif the town at a banfwet at which the soason's football passed into history. 0 Tia Crosse ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,. ,,,,, , ,, Ness City ,,,,,,,,,,,,.,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,, A 0 Hr-re T a Crosse ...... ..,.....,,,... ......, 1 3 Pison ,.,.,,,,.,,,,,. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 1 2 Were La Crosse ,,.,.. .,,..... 1 3 Hosington ,A 41 Hnre La Crosse ...... ...,.... 2 6 McCracken ,,,,. 6 Here la Crosse ....,, ,,,,, 6 Pvirdette 19 There La fll JSS6 ...... ...... 0 Hays City ,,,,,, 12 Here La Crosse ,..... .,.... 6 6 Pansom ,,,,, 0 Here La Crosse ...... ,,,,,, 0 Bison ,,.,,, 0 There L2 CYOSSG ...... ....... 1 24 Opponents 23 CHAS. MAURER fChuckj Capt. Elect. Right Tackle When ever a team tried to come through the right side of our line they rret with serious opposition for Chuck was not to be denied. Chuck was a battler from whistle to whistle and after the whis- tle had blown, Chuck could usually be found beneath the pile for he never knew what it meant to step back. DONALD KYLE fBossJ Right End Kyle was the lad who brought joy to our hearts for many were the times that he took the ball for a long twisting run through our op- ponents. Boss was also a handy iran and was placed in various positions in the line-up and had no trouble holding his own. Kyle was our star punter and pass receiver. CAPT. THEO. OCHS fTeddyJ Full Back Theo. was a whale of a man on defense, but was handicapped on offense on account of a bad knee and was fclrccd to leave several ganfes on account of injuries. but he alwavs gave his best and never can'e out of a gante until forced out through injuries. KENNETH WHEAT Right Half Wheat was perhaps the handiest Iran on the team, for at times he was played in every position and filled it creditably. - Wheat was a good broken field runner and a good line plunger and never failed to do his bit when it came to spiking. Wlheat could carry the ball, tackle, punt, drop kick, forward pass and also receive a pass in creditable fashion. ' ALFRED TURNER fSlatsJ Left End Another one of those handy lads who could play niore than ons position with credit to himself and the team. Slats was regarded as the best spiker on the team, and if there is any doubt, ask Ransom High. Slats was equally good at. punting, passing, drop kicking, and lugf ing the ball. I I I I I I I I I I I 'Q , I I I I I I ' I I I ,, ,,,.-..m I I I 1 f N RALPH MEYER CGoostieJ Left Half I It was to Meyer that We looked for our short gains up to the goal line and seldom, if ever, he failed us. Goostie Was one of the hardest tacklers on the team and when it came to spiking, few, if any, surpassed him. , CORWIN HALLETT fCorkJ . Left Guard Hallett was an aggressive fighter and the opposition was Well aware -of his fighting qualities before the game was over. Cork was another one of those lads who believed in sixty minute games. l HAROLD HEALZER QP. IJ Center Healzer gets the name of iron man for he is the only member of the team that played through every game of the season. Healzer was a good cool man at center and never worried his back iield with bad passes and on the defense, helped back up the line in creditable manner. A KENNETH WOLFE CKen0l i Quarterback ' Wolfe played quarter on offense and end on defense and few were the teams that skirted his end, once he got accustomed to his position. t Keno had the misfortune to have his collar bone broken in the first game, but the close of the season found him back at his old posi- tion giving all he had. WM. DIXON CWild Billy Left Tackle Bill missed the first game as he had not won his spurs, but once he got into the game he never was replaced. Bill made the space within his reach very discouraging for any one to try to pass. I I I I I I I I I 1 I I I I I I I 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I - -,Y , I JAMES ANDREWS fBudJ End and Guard Bud made his letter the first year in High School and great things are expected of him next year. Bud soon learned the fine points of the game and was one of the few that was present at every practice. MARVIN TURNER QBusl Guard This was Buster's first year in foot ball, but the way he was go- ing at the close of the season, he shoud be one ofthe regulars next year. Buster was found under the pile, but he always came up with a smile on his face and always invited more line plunges se he could get in the fun. GLENN CAMPBELL tDeaconJ End Deacon held down left end and made the opposition plenty of trouble in trying to skirt his end. The first of the season he was troubled with - Charles Horses and this forced him to quit practice for a short period and it was a handicap to him. THOMAS BALDWIN CToml Right Guard Tom made a good mate for Chuck as he was a battler from the start, and if they tried to come through his side of the line, they had their troubles in elluding him. EDMUND SCHLEGEL iJohnnyJ End Schlegel made up for his size with a fine display of fight and played an exceptionally good garrie for his first year of foot ball. JOHN YOST CO'Henryj Utility Johnny played the utility role and always canie to the rescue in case of injuries. He played end, full back and half back and always gave the best he had. f ' - ...

In spite of the fact he was employed two weeks late, which meant the loss of two weeks foot ball practice, he soon whipped his team into one that was acredit to La Crosse. Gross is a graduate of the Kansas State Teachers College, of Hays, Where he won four letters in foot ball and three in basket ball. He was also a base ball and track star while at Hays. ,, Busch', was a member of two foot ball changpionship teams, one of which was in '17 when he played every minute of every game. In '21 he was chosen second all state quarterback, f' W----new-M-M--.W-,-W M......c...,...u.....,.. .1 .,.-. ..,,,,.,.s,, ,,N,1,,, A A N Qasketbali H QQQKY The basket ball season looked exceptionally good at the start with twenty-five boys out for practice. The first game was a defeat for Rush Center, but to even the score of the first game, La Crosse lost the next two games. After this, the team came out of the slump. The next seven games were easy victories for the La Crosse team and only until the second rreeting of Bison did La Crosse lose a scheduled game. All through the Western part of the state, La Crosse Highs were spoken of as the fastest team in western Kansas, and were doped to place high in the Western Kansas Tournament, only to have d-ope upset by the defeat Scott City handed us by the score of 21 to 20. , One of the featvre games of the VVestern Kansas Tournament was the Scott City-La Crosse game. Both teams were rated high and exceptional interest was shown. to the two teams, La Crosse being the favorite from the public. The first half. Scott City held a lead of two points but were tied at the start of the second half. The game was see- sawed all through the second half and only until the last did Scott suc- ceed in nfwsinrf La Crosse out. Turner. Wolfe. Meyer, N. Yost, Kyle and Wheat were a corrbination that were hard to beat and only few teams could solve the Gross system of passing Burdette ,,,,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,.,,,,.,,,,,,,, 27 La Rush Center ..,,, ,,,,-, 1 3 La Bison ......,,...... ,.,.,,,,, 2 8 La Ness City .,,,, ,,,,,, 1 3 La Hays ................ ...... 1 7 La McCracken ,,,,,,,,,.,,, ,,,.,, 9 La Alexander .,,.,...,,,,,,,,,, ,,,.,, 1 9 La St. J0seph's College ,,,,, ,,,,,, 1 4 La Hays ............................ ...... 1 3 La Bazine .,,,....,,,,,.,,,,,,, ,,,,,. 1 1 La Bison .,,,.,,., ,,,,,,,,, 2 1 La Ness City .,,,,, ,,,,,, 1 4 La Belpre ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,, 1 5 La Scott City ....,. ,,A,,,,,, 2 2 La 206 that this team used.

RALPH MEYER CGoostieJ Meyers seldom came past the middle of the court for it was his duty to keep the opponents away from the basket, and it wasn't often that they were able to get a close shot. KENNETH WOLFE fKenol Guard. Wolfe made a good run- ninfr n'ate for Meyers and he did his bit in keeping them away from tzhe basket. Wolfe rrixed into the teanc play and helped work the ball down the court and his long shots featured many of our games. ALFRED TURNER CSlatsl Slats used his height to good ad- vantage and it enabled us to gain an early lead on our opponents. Slats n' issed several ganes on account of the 'flu' but the close of the season found him going at a good clip. NELSON YOST Center. We met many centers that were taller than Nelson, but few were better jumpers, and when it came to team work, Nelson ncet no superiors, and he was as strong at the finish as when he started. KENNETH WHEAT fForwardJ Wheat was the high scorer of the season and it made no difference to him whether it was to be a short or long shot, as he generally made it. Wheat played all over the floor and his defensive ability was noticeable in every game. Wheat also made the free tosses for us. DON KYLE LI-Zossl Forward. Kyle lacked confidence in his scoring ability but toward the close, he made the goals when they were badly needed. His speed enabled him to cover much floor space and his accurate passing was responsible for many baskets. JOHN YOST Johnny was a good passer and seemed to be a sure shot under the basket. He also managed to get a long shot now and then which had it's effect on the opposition. WM. DIXON tGuardl This was Bill's first year of basket ball and he improved with every garre. Few teanfs got a second shot at the basket for Bill generally got the rebound. 9 D506 OBO H21 as QW EWG ww? Oo 2? U2 335.-w Z3-ago mms-4 P4 O W F' CD 2592 iggm at gd - U:m E.

Captain Elsie was without a doubt, one of the fastest forwards in the state. Besides being an excellent leader, she was the steadiest player on the team and possesses great ability in following the ball. She's in her last year. VELMA FORBES- Center. Shorty has the distinction of being the only one to have played every game . She could be depended upon to get the tip off and the team loses a ntain stay when she leaves. HILDA WEIGAND- Running Center. The team Work of Hilda and Shorty was a feature of every game. Her passing the ball and floor work was above reproach. She played her last year for Orange gl Black. HAZEL HAYES- Forward. Hazel playing was a valuable asset to the team. She could be counted on to make a basket when it was most needed. A sprained ankle kept her out a part of the season. She will not be back for next year's team. BERTHA SCHLEGEL- Guard. Bertha was the find of the season. Al- though she didn't c-once out until the middle of the season, she soon landed a place on the first team. Lucky was the forward that could get an open shot with Bertha guarding. WINNIE SMITH- Forward. Although this was her first year, Winnie played like a veteran. Her team work was good and her eye for a bas- ket must not be overlooked. Great things are expected of her next year. MILDRED SMITH- Guard. Very few open shots were ever secured by Mildred's opponents as she was always on the job. A bad arm kept her out of several of the games. but another year ought to see her one of tlfe best guards in this part of the state. HELEN LEDERER- Guard. The Hoisington game is what causes one to renfenfber Helen for everyone knows the good game she put up. She was a consistent player and a defensive guard that baffled the best of basket shooters. ISABEL MENELEY. Isabel didn't get. a letter this year but whenever she was needed she was on the job. She was a good figh-ter, used her head, and displayed good team work. I l - -,..., .

There was also splendid new material and La Crosse supporters were enthusiastic ovcr the seasons prospects, and they were doomed to dis- apointment for the 1922 season closed with the girls winning eleven out of the thirteen games played. The only schedule game lost was one with Ness City, where injuries kept two of the players out of the game. The return game, however, was won by a good margin. At the Hays tournament, the girls won the first two games play- ed. They opened the tournament with the Lewis team and won 18 to 12. They also won the game with Lovewell. Ardent supporters doped the La Crosse girls to get the finals but they lost the third game by 3 points. However, they played a consistent brand of basket ball and the speed and work of the captain, Elsie Yost., was one of the features of the tournament.

S. has an enrollment for 1922-1923, of sixty three. Enthusiasm, energy and alertness character- i':e this splendid organization of girls. Good progress has been made during the year. The girls have sung in public several times. As oc- casion demanded, solos, quartets and choruses have been selected from the personnel of the Glee Club for public work, entrance at contests etc. The worth of the work of the Glee Club in any school cannot be overestimated. Music is the leavening influence of the world. Where- over young ,people are gathered togethcr, there will be music of some kind, and it is right that it should be so. Through the schools, then, 11 ust come the direction and education of the youth of the country along this line. 'lhis has been well exemplified in our own Glee Clubs. Music of the best class has always been used, and the Girls Glee Club is capable of rendering it well. The two loving cups which the school now holds were won by members of the Girls and Boys Glee Clubs. La Crosse High may well be proud of her Glee Clubs. ' The Glee Club this year has been unusually large, showing that a desire for n'usic is growing in the n'inds of the boys. All encourage- mcnt possible shouldtbe given to the division of the work. -'--1' v- f--A-L-, -' W-:-..-E f.,.:.m -2-anim.-fm: ---.---s-a-22-5 Elnger Kerbs Earl Roughton James Oliverius Roy Scheideman Eldred Weigand Emanuel Kerbs Clarence Hoelcher Frank Saunders Nelson Yost Dave Jefferies Paul Hartman Lester Krause John Yost Theo.

The aim is to cultivate a taste for the best music and to inspire a desire in each student tlo learn to sing such com- positions. High School rchestra The La Crosse High School Orchestra has eleven members. Three cornets, clarinet, two violins, baritone, bass, altlo horn, trombone and piano are used. Although the orchestra has had to go through the beginning stage, yet very creditable Work has been done, and much credit is due the students who have Worked faithfully along this line.
