Hamilton has taught in Chanute most of his life and is now making a big success of his work in the Trade school. As director of the Trade school and as the head of the manual training department he is a very capable man in a position of great responsibility. WOOD WORKING IN THE BEGINNING- Wood working was first taught in 1911 in the basement of Murray Hill school. In 1912, J. V. Hamilton was em- ployed as teacher and inaugurated the present course of training. When the new Junior High school was built in 1916, the department was moved to a completely equipped shop in the new building. AND NOW- The department is housed in the new Trade school as a manual arts subject. Wood-working provides unlimited opportunity for mechanical skill, combined with artistic expression. The purpose of the course is to give a general knowledge of the field of wood-working activities through training in the systematic use of tools and materials, and through information about the wood-working industries. Mr. J. V. Hamilton is the ART WORK AND MECHANICAL DRAWING IN THE BEGINNING- Art work, as it was first called, was started in the grade schools. Later the name was changed to handcraft and the subject matter was changed also. . D Mechanical drawing was started by Mr. J. V. Hamilton in 1912, with one class ot senior boys. AND NOW- MR. J. V. HAMILTON instructor. In 1927, all the advanced handcraft work is taught at Junior High and is called home mechanics. It covers Various arts and crafts: such as, book binding, home dyeing and elementary mechanical drawing. Its purpose is to teach children to perform ordi- nary duties around the home and to train boys to draw the plans of the articles made in the Wood work room. U - Courses are offered in drawing models to be made in Wood, machine drawing, and lettering. These are taught by Ellen J. Vving. J. V.

Because it embodies principles of grammar, punctuation, Spelling, mathematics, art. science and other subjects in lesser degree, printing has a place among industrial subjects in the course of study. It has a high correlative value with other subjects and has a definite social value in fostering school and community spirit through the school paper, and printing for the many activities of the schools. AND NOW- The students are taught how to set and distribute type, how to operate presses and other machines, and many other varied jobs. This department does all the printing for the city schools, including grade cards and blank forms of all kinds. Programs, tickets, handbllls, and window cards are printed for organizations. One achievement of note this year is the printing of bulletins for the health depart- ment and the trade school. E. K. Whitesitt is the instructor. AUTO MECHANICS AND MACHINE SHOPS IN THE BEGINNING- Auto mechanics was first offered at the opening of the Trade school in 1927. The shop work included the necessary amount of practical work to make the student skillful in turning, milling, boring, filing, thread cutting and automotive repair work. AND NOW- fl'he work in this department is arranged on a rotation basis in order that each student may be experienced in every phase of the work. 41-'ractical work in studying and repairing cars, trucks, tractors, and gas engines is carried on, and'those practice cars are provided by the students for this purpose. M. R. Wilson is the Instructor. PRINTING DEPARTMENT E. K. WHITESITT M. R. WILSON AUTO MECHANICS DEPARTMENT re 1 9 2 o jf--AA E Q. THE ELMS VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE IN THE BEGINNING- Vocational agriculture was introduced into the high school curriculum in 1927. The department meets the standards of the Smith-Hughes provision for vocational agriculture. The course emphasizes scientific ways of'doing practical farm work and aims to train boys for agriculture leadership and successful farming in this Community. The course is especially designed for farm boys and for boys who expect to make farming a life vocation. AND NOW- Each class meets three hours a day, five days a week and carries three high school credits. Two years' work is offered. In the first year live stock and shop work are offered. ln the second year the course covers soils and crops and advanced shop work. The classes make field trips to successful farms in the community to study farm methods. They also attend fairs and stock shows and visit the BXD0I'iII16Hta1 D10iS Hell? Chanute. This year they attended the American Royal at Kansas City. Robert T. Patterson is in charge of the work. MACHINE DRAFTING IN THE BEGINNING- In the spring of 1924 architectural drafting and machine drawing were first offered in the Junior High school under the direction of Mr. Jim Gilbreath. In 1925 general shop work was offered to 8 B's only. This included a small amount of tin work, electricity, plumbing, glazing, and woodwork. Architectural drafting is the study of dwelling house construction and design and planning of a five or six-room house. Machine drawing is a study of the detailed and assembly drawing of machine and machine parts. AND NOW- Sheet metal and electricity are given in the Trade school for 8 B's. Sheet metal work and sheet metal drafting are given to high school students. This course is of greater educational value than trade value. Mr. Jim Gilbreath is the instructor. -s., ,.a.,.r . v. R. T.

Leighton Anderson Sponsors U Miss Cuddy ' Mr. Miller IN THE BEGINNING- The class of '28 was the largest in school. The accomplishments of the sophomore group, 'headed by Wesley Keas, although not spectacular, were a vital part of school victories. As juniors, attainments were more conspicuous. Wesley was again elected president, and the class immediately began to make a name for itself. The negative debate team, which was composed entirely of juniors, won every meet in which they participated and helped win the state championship. In athletics, the juniors dominated in every school team. In order to make money for the Junior-Senior banquet, the play Believe Me, Xantippe was presented, displaying effectively much dramatic and business ability, Finally, the farewell banquet was given the seniors, who left the class of '28 the place of leadership. An Elms that might be a credit to C. H. S. was the ultimate goal of the seniors. Maurine Jackson and Wesley Keas were elected king and queen of the yearbook. Meanwhile, the members of the class were not lagging in other activities. Athletic teams were composed for the most part of seniors, and three seniors were debaters. The play and carnival sponsored by the class were very successful. AND NOW- As its last achievement, the class will present its own commencement. program. Instead of having an address, seven Seniors, chosen by a process of elimination, will give orations on the cardinal principles of education. .J .-Q 9 2 L. Clair Jones, president of the senior class, has won the respect of all the seniors by his constant effort to make this class the best possible.

Z S NAC A 8 A T Q VITIES WNW 1 x N IN THE BEGINNING- it Football started in Chanute i in 1904 and made for itself a permanent place among the athletic activities of the school. The team of 1907 is the first whose picture is available. That team made a remarkable record, being recognized as the second best team in the state. AND NOW- During the 1927-28 season twenty-two men received letters in football. WALTER SNYDER-- Walt will be remembered by many for his long end run in the Chanute-Iola Thanksgiving day game. When every thing else failed, Walter's fleetness of foot could be relied upon. . LEE IKEHORNk Ike played a steady and consistent game at tackle. He played exceptionally well at Coffeyville and Iola when he repeatedly broke through their line. Lee will return next year. EARL HENRY-hEarl is one of those ends that it is impossible to run around. All he had to do was fall down and reach across the field and gather in the legs of the ball lugger. ORVILLE STOWELL-When Captain Christie was out of the game, Orville was the man to fill his place. Orville showed that he was made of the stuff that makes a football player when he stayed in the game with a knee out of place. DON BEACH-Don was one of the best tackles in the Big Seven and was put on the mythical eleven by sport writers. In the position of line general he could be relied upon to keep the line fighting. l ff' ee li! Snyder, endg Ikehorn, tackle g Henry, end 3 Stowell, centerg Beach, tackle.

Those who saw this scene en- acted before their eyes will recognize it and the player. For those who did not see it, it is Wesley Keas going through Iola's line for the first touch down of the Thanksgiving day football game. HOMER ASHCRAFT-Although this was I-Iomer's first year of football, when he got mad, nothing could move him when he didn't want to moveg but if he wanted to move, he was hard to stop. WENDELL JONES- Windy had the honor of being the only freshman on the team and the only one for quite a few years. He also had the honor and fame of making t'he first touchdown of the 1927 season. ADRIAN WIGGANS-Although little, Adrain showed that size is not the only thing that counts. When he substituted in the Neodesha game, he showed his mettle. When scrimmaging in practice, the opposing team usually looked for a weaker place after one trial at Bil1's end. LEE GRISWOLD-As long as Lee lives, he will be remembered by his school- mates for the play he made when he stepped in front of an Iola pass and ran 60 yards for a touchdown. RALPH ORTH- Battle-Ax got his chance in the Parsons game and made good. A man had to be either a professional or a cyclone to go through him. Ralph will make a strong bid for tackle in the season of '28. GEORGE BELL- Speedy lived up to his name in football. He proved to be one of t'he fastest, toughest, and best centers that ever played on a C. H. S. team. Speedy will make a strong bid for center next year.

Murphy, commonly known as Fighting Tim is a graduate of Newton High school and the Kansas State Agricultural College where he played Missouri Valley football for three years. He carried off highest honors for the entire course at the University of Illinois coaching school. . Mr, Murphy has coached for six years. l D. D. MURPHY GEORGE BARNHILL- Barney started the first game of the season at left end and was never taken out of a game unless Chanute was in the lead and out of danger. Barney showed his mettle when he played most of the Coffeyville game with a broken nose. WALTER HODGES- Burly is an easy going individual until he is aroused: then look out! When once aroused, nothing could stop him. If he was on the defense, the opposing team gave up trying to go through his tackle after the first try. LYLE DEAN- Shorty, as his name implies, was small, but this did not bother him. It is said that when Shorty was in the game, the coach could 'hear the signals in the judges' stand distinctly. RUSSELL WINSLOW-This was Rusty's first year, but that did not hinder him. Although small, 'he made it up in fighting spirit. Rusty will make a strong bid for quarter back position next year. DONALD JACKSON-Donald had the ill fortune to be injured in the first part of the season, but when the line started to leak in the Iola game, Fat filled the hole and Iola was turned back to defeat.

He was in the Turkey Day battle, however, and covered himself with glory in his last game under old gold and blue. VIRGIL TYSON-Virgil is one of those little short halves who can turn or stop on a dime while the sup- posed tackler glides on by. In the last two games of the season Bird showed good generalship in the position of quarter back. CAROL SMITH- Mickey was a short, stout man who could play any position. At the first of the season he played good football in the position of fullback, but was later transfered to the position of guard. He was especially adapted to running interference. EARL CHRISTIE WESLEY KEAS-Wesley was the only three year man on the team this year and was chosen on the all-star mythical eleven. He was the best punter in the Big-Seven . Wesley acted as captain during most of the games in the absence of Captain Christie. FRANKLIN CAIN-Franklin started the season as guard. Along toward the last of the season he was promoted from guard to half and developed into one of the hardest hitting backs in the Big-Seven league. Franklin was placed on the first team of the mythical eleven. KEITH CUNNINGHAM-When Alec got his feet planted, it took a cyclone to move him. When ever the quarter back was short a few yards, Alec was sure to make them.

V 1 .-f' -.-MMG FOOTBALL SQUAD Chanute High school showed that football still remains the sport supreme when over sixty candidates turned out for practice. Unlike many squads, nearly all stayed out until the last whistle was blown. As a reward for the loyalty, the athletic council gave the greatest number of awards ever made by C. H. S. Twenty men received first team letters, ten second letters, and to those who did not play much on either team but were loyal in staying out, they gave six emblems. Out of eight games the Chanute first squad Won two, lost three, and tied three. Although not winning the larger half, the team won the two best games of the sea- son, the last two. The season ended as all successful seasons for Chanute teams should end, by beating Iola. Chanute made forty-four points, the opponents made thirty-three. The Chanute team did not make a score until next to the last game, but when they got started they certainly scored. The team was noted for its strong defense. It is said one can usually see the second team play and judge the first team. The seconds made the firsts what they are. If a first team had no opponents in practice, they could not be expected to give FJ good account of themselves in a game. The Chanute seconds were undefeated and ended the season in t'he one thousand per cent row. They played three games winning two and tying one. Be- sides being undefeated, the Chanutet seconds' goal line was uncrossed. They started the season with a bang, winning from Iola 18-0 on the Chanute field. The next game was with Thayer's first team at Thayer. Neither team was able to score so the game ended a tie 0-0. As a final climax, the seconds took a hard fought game from Iola by the score of 6-0.

FORT SCOTT 0-CHANUTE 0 Like the year before this Big-Seven battle was fought in the mud. The Chanute squad showed more fight but could not get started in the mud. PODUNK 0-BEANVILLE 0 Having an open date and wishing to keep up interest, the first clash between Podunk and Beanvi1le was staged at the South Santa Fe field. It was a close game and very thrilling. The teams stood and joked each other. NEODESHA 0-CI-IANUTE 0 The third game, the third 0-0 was the result of this game. Again the air- tight defense of Chanute showed its power. Chanute dazzled the spectators by coming on the field in bright new jerseys of blue and gold stripes. PITTSBURG 7-CHANUTE 0 The Chanute fans who saw the Pittsburg game will never say the team of '27 was not a fighting team. Although Pittsburg got the big end of the score, the team was not defeated. They gave all they had. PARSONS 19-CI-IANUTE 0 Chanute entered this game with five regulars on the injured list. One ofthe best men was injured on the kick-off. W'hen the game was over, nine men were on the injured list. The quick kicking of Keas was one of the features of this game. COFFEYVILLE 7-CHANUTE 0 Luck was against us in this game. In the last quarter and with only about twenty yards to go for a touch-down, Coffeyville intercepted a pass and made a touch-down. - , INDEPENDENCE 0-CHANUTE 25 Chanute won over Independence by straight hard football. A change in the backfield made it 'heavier and better on the offense. The score of 25 to 0 does not half describe how much Chanute outplayed Inde- pendence. It was Chanute's first victory and also their first score of the season. IOLA 0-CHANUTE 19 Given confidence by their victory over Independence and the large crowd of rooters from Chanuteuthe yellow jackets finished the season as all successful Chanute teams should by .beating Iola by the score of 19 to 0. 1920 C 9 5 ai a,3f?fs!l-'Cf s.el2.+?..iueif.a:s if . if?

Un- like the team of today they did not have smooth hard maple floors to play on. The team of 1908 played at Erie on an open court with the sky as a roof and Mother Earth for the floor. But this team won the S. E. K. championship. AND NOW- The following are letter men: BILL MATHIS-Bill was not eligible until the beginning of the second se- mester. The night of the Pittsburg game was his first and he started off right by being high point man. Bill made the second team All Star Mythical Five. GEORGE BARNHILL-George was a man who was too good for his position. He started the season on the second team but was soon promoted to the first string. Barney could play any position equally well and made a valuable player. JACK SHIFLETT-At the first of the season Jack was hot and for many games was high point man. Although not as hot the latter part of the season, Jack played a fine game at guard. Y . . . i Mathis, forwardg Keas, fCapt.J, guardg Barnhill, guardg Shiflett, forward.

MARSHAL MCNEIL- Mack was a hard and fast player giving every thing in his power while playing. Once started, Mack was 'hard to stop. Marshal will not be back next year, C. H. S. will have lost a good player. LEE IKEHORN- Ike was the only tall man on the team, but he made up for two. Ike was valuable in that he followed his own and all of his team mates' shots. Lee was high point man on the team this year. WALTER MYERS-Although not eligible at the beginning of the season, Walt stayed out and was playing regularly as soon as he was eligible. Walt could play any position and this made him a very valuable player. VIRGIL TYSON- Bird was one of these sawed-off fellows who many people say have no chance in basketball. But to the joy of the crowd, with whom Bird is a favorite, he played most of the season. He made the first team All Star Mythi- cal Five.

BASKETBALL SUMMARY Although the Chanute team failed to place in the Big- Eight league, it finished the season by winning second place in the district tournament at Neodesha, where it met and defeated Iola. In the scond team schedule, Cherryvale and Fredonia seconds were defeated twice. Neodesha, Humboldt, and Iola seconds were defeated once: Colony, Erie and Moran firsts were turned back once. The Iola seconds and the Colony firsts were the only teams to outscore them in a contest. The second team did not go to any tournament this year.

These cups show that Chanute won the tri-city from Iola and Humboldt for four years straight and tied lola the fifth year. TRACK Chanute has had one of the best track teams in its history this season. Over thirty men reported for practice. Among those out for practice were some vet- erans from last year. Dick Erickson, Earl Henry, and Earl Christie were letter men. for the comfort and , training of the track men the athletic council furnished fifteen grey sweat coats and pants. Besides these ten blue sweat coats and pants of the basketball squad were used. The new suits were stenciled with C. H. S. and a number, so each member of the squad would have his individual suit. C. H. S. is fortunate to have a new and large gymnasium in which to practice when it is raining or snow- ing. The track team did not lose a night's practice. While practicing in the gym- nasium they had some new equipment never before enjoyed by a C'hanute track team. In the outfitting of the gymnasium two rubber pads were bought so the jumper will not slip when jumping. The track squad also used the mats to light on and as a lighting place for the new leather covered inside shot. They also made good use of the stall and parallel bars to develop t'he shoulders and abdominal muscles and to put them in shape. The 1928 team won the tri-city meet, defeating Iola and Humboldt.

The qualifications for membership are pep , true school spirit, and ability to create clever stunts. The Peppy Peggies may be easily distinguished by their uniforms of gold sweaters and blue skirts.

Its purposes are to bring the student in closer contact with his teacher, so that he may receive help and adviceg to keep the student informed about all school activities, to sponsor the sale of tickets, and do many other things which the school, as a whole, cannot do. All students report to their respective home rooms immediately after their first hour classes. The attendance, excuses, announcements and any other matters that require attention are handled at this time. At enrollment time the home room teacher helps each member of her room enroll. She is prepared to give each one the number of his credits, and the general outline of the course he is taking. She helps arrange his subjects in majors and minors according to the state requirements, She keeps a check on scholarship of her students, and at the end of each six weeks she makes the honor roll of her home room. Once every two weeks the home room meets for a thirty-five minute discussion period. These discussions were planned by a committee consisting of delegates from each room. Discussions have been held on football and basketball, school loyalty, ways of improving the school, school citizenship, health, and similar subjects. AND NOW- There are sixteen home rooms.
