ORANGE AND BLACK The Urange and Black rr rr They Have Succeeded -- Publish A Year Book -- Three Sponsors Plays may come and ban- quets may go but the staff works on to keep up the stan- dard of previous year books. The 1936 Orange and Black re- ceived the All American Rat- ingi' when entered as a mem- ber of the National Scholastic Press Association in the Uni- versity of Minnesota at Min- neapolis. The year book was classified in schools with en- rollments from five hundred to A Busy Thirteen -- The Staff eight hundred ninety-nine stu- dents. Sections of the book rated as follows: Printing, art work and student experience-Aw erage. Opening sections, advertis- ing and instruction - Good. Athletics and general ef- fect-Very good.

Miss Marceline Myers, edi- tor, Glenn Elliott, business manager, and Miss Georgina Bleakley, sponsor, were the Uhead-chiefs of the staff last year. Are We lntlustrious? The first meeting of the staff started off with a bang Cof the doorj on September 11, 1936, with the editor giving everyone instructions. Assistant Editor, Richard Hofmann, and Senior Editor, Alice Sterling started out on their task by getting the digni- fied Seniors down to our pho- tographer, Mr. Briner, to make an important section in the Annual. Helen, our faithful typist, began typing our cor- respondence just to get in practice for typing the copy that goes to the printer. Snap! Vera is taking a picture. Who are her best friends? Could it be her camera and Billy? This is some job, too, getting all folks concerned together at one time. J. Bill Martin is an athlete and he can write about them. He has charge of the pictures in that section and they're pretty nifty pictures - Don't cha think? Elton and Ralph made the annual pay for itself by soliciting ads from the business men of our city. They were assisted by the Junior representatives, LaVerda Berg, Bill Borland, and Lyndus Hen- ry. Who Were those industri- ous people Who Worked 'till nine dummying the ads?

NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN Activities Create lnterest n n n n n Worthwhile .... An Incentive .... Beneficial . . . . Variety . . . . Efficieni Sponsors . . . . Ex- cellent Ufficers .... Large MBlllll0l'SlllllS .... WHAT Makes school more interesting? What adds that certain zest? What re- veals the different interests of students? Just two Worcls--extra-curricular activities. Yes, and C. C. C. H. S. has an abundance ot them. Our school rates very high in this respect for our size. Our activities are of a great var.ety, too. Four of our organizations belong to na- tional associations. OE these, two are the Hi-Y and G. R., the oldest clubs in our school. Both boast a large roll and it is certain they have had a very successful year. The Future Farm- ers of America and the llome Economics Club have also been very active the past terms. They belong to national clubs too. The Annual and the Promoter belong to the National Scholastic Press Association. Help- ful criticisms are issued by the Press, they also rate the publications. The Orange and Black received the highest rating possible on the 1936 edition . . . All-American Rating. It is with great pleasure that we print this fact. Under the gu.ding hand of Smiley Faulkner our orchestra and band have Well -displayed their talent. This is also true of the Crlec Clubs under the direction of Miss Earlen- baugh. Both rated high in contests. Two reg- ular periods are set aside for those participat- ing in orchestra, band, and glee clubs. Outside olf this time, individuals have an opportunity for private lessons. Those who took part in dramatics and dc- bate found their work interesting as well. as educational. The credit. is due Miss Raynolds. Ot course a school would not be complete w.thout active pep clubs for boys and girls, known as the Booster Clubs. Cute stunts were presented at games, the banquet was a gala affair, and the pep was fine. The Claxton Club is composed ot a number ot 'the .future teachers of America' These poor students are the victims ot the stiff state exams. But they always come through with high averages. Miss Crouch is their competent instructor.

NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN Woellhof Hofmann Dietrich Bleakley Miller all of their own. Lyndus, a new member, may have gotten a late start but it surely does not show up on the work that he did. He was in charge of the write-ups in the opening section of the annual. All the other work left was taken care of by the Junior reps and our sponsors. CThere was plen- ty of it, too.D What terrible p e o p l e we must have on the staff.

The losing of Miss Bleak- ley at the end of the first se- mester was a misfortune for the staff. Topeka High Sehool's gain is our loss. Miss Miller was elected sponsor to guide the annual staff the rest of the year. She had just got- ten a good start on this hard and rocky road when she left us and went to Salina, CTO teaeh.D Mr. York was doubtful as to whether or not he should take up the unfinished work of these two people, but he final- ly decided. in our favor. Not All Work The Annual Staff doesn't have all work. The new staff or the present staff was initi- ated on May 6, 1936, by the old staff. They went to Swenson's lake and there the new staff was duly initiated into their jobs for next year. On December 17, Miss Bleak- ley entertained the Annual Staff at her home. Lyndus Henry was initiated in prepar- ation :for his job. This was a farewell party for Miss Bleak- ley, too, and the staff present- ed her with a gift. Bleaklee' Variety Hour December 8, 1936, the An- nual Staff presented Bleak- lee's Variety Hour in the little theatre of CCVCHS. Graham Crackers, CJ.
