NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-EIGHT Office entien Stevens soon knows all stu dents of school Unger awaits the morning excuse rush D D D ANew Executive . . . The old order changeth, yield- ing place to the new. -Shake- speare. And so it is with the executive in the office-Mr. George C. Stevens. He came this year from Kiowa, Kansas, where he had been principal and superintend- ent for 19 years. During the l Marceline ever at work. nineteen years Stevens was in Kiowa, Kiowa schools came to be known all over Kansas and parts of Oklahoma as the best, so you see one of the reasons why we all think so much of Mr. Stevens. Clay County Community High School heretofore has been rath- er disinterested regarding outside activities such as clubs, student council, hon- orary societies, and the like. This year the old or- der changed and interest was stirred to such an ex- tent that a student coun- cil was organized, meeting some rebuff and quite a bit of comment, both good and bad. Against some op- position from those not desiring to change, they succeeded in getting a na- tional honor society or- ganized, whereby fifteen percent of the Senior class and five percent of the Junior class is honored. This also was a suggestion from a man who knows- Mr. Stevens. H. Smith CHubyD is our other man! Stevens' right hand man so to speak. 13 tHe sits across the desk though, not on his right hand.l He has charge of the excuses and unex- cuses, doesn't he? fMostly un- excused.J Well, so much for that. Hubert CH. S. Unger, to most? was the basketball coach this year and a fine one he was, too. The school was sure that it was not his fault that the team had so much bad luck. There's al- ways next year though, but cir- cumstances beyond any control, and are betting heavy on the team next year. Smith Unger has been assis- tant principal in C. C. C. H. S. for seven whole years, children! Just imagine, if you can, being in school seven years. Before coming to Clay Center, Smith was assistant principal at Belle- ville, Kansas. Now comes the good part, folks! Hold your hats! Here we go! Whoosh! Fun isn't it, or isn't it? No doubt you know the cute trick in the office-secre- tary to you guys. She's the gal on whose shoulders rests the burden of the school's business. She's got to see that John, Mary, Pete, Bill and every Tom, Dick and Harry in school gets what he wants from the office-pro- viding it's agreeable with the rules and regulations of C. C. C. H. S. Marceline has been the office girl for two whole years, imag- ine! She's been a good one. One of her favorite sports is dancing.

THE C. C. C. H. S. TIGER ROAR re Good Legislators This year the school board members have been exceptional- ly good to the high school 'kidsf in that they have brought a fine fellow for a principal and through him have given us many things of material value. Oh, yes, the bus. That was surely a fine thing for the High School wasn't it-Ask the bas- ketball and football boys-They went places in it. Several others were passengers once in a while -the band also shared in the fun of riding in it-on their trip to Kansas City especially. The school board is the or- ganization, consisting of seven members, which gives and ad- ministers our legislation. The board meets on their regular meeting date of the second Mon- day of each month. Those members on the board are Owen Panton, chairman ex- officio: V. R. Vergadnis, vic - chairmang Arthu r D. Conrad, secretaryg W. H. Rundle, treas- urerg Verner V. Alquist, Harm Bauer, and Wallace A. Benson. Owen Panton is the county superintendent of schools, and a Hard at Work Stevens Vergades Benson Rundle Bauer Conrad Alquist . Panton D D D D D Have Fine Allministrntinn . . . Arrnmplish Plenty . good one too. fWe didn't get paid for saying this.J V, R. is the man about town. He is busily engaged in insur- ance. HV. R. is also vice-chair- man of the board. Art Conrad is very interest- ed in the furniture business and so, as a result he has a very prosperous furniture store. Art is secretary of the board. W. H. Rundle, who is the treasurer of the board, is by occupation a farmer. He is one of the most efficient and most important men on our board. Are you hungry? Here's your man-Verner Alquist. Mr. A1- quist has always been a fine fellow, especially when some school affair is taking place. Mr. Alquist, as you know, is in busi- ness in the Alquist Grocery on Lincoln Avenue. fThis is no ad- vertisementj Harry Bauer is another of the important men on our board. By occupation Mr. Bauer is a farmer, and a fine stockman. Maybe that's why he's on the board-help make suitable legislation for this thun- dering herd at school. Wallace Benson is ye old grad of C. C. C. H. S. and is the seventh member on the board. He has farming and agriculaural work as an occupation. Mr. Benson taught Ag. for a time at Eureka, Kansas, then, liking the farm better, came to Clay Center again and settled West of Clay about five miles. New Iinutines Hear Ye! Hear Ye! We, the school board, declare that start- ing on September 6th of each school year, the teachers shall call to order their classes and shall take down the name of each student who does not an- swer the call to order . . . now here's where the new part comes in. The office, together with the school board, made out some new forms for attendance, ab- sences, passes, etc. They're clev- er as can be. Remember those horrid pink slips last year? They're still with us! In general this year, the Sen- iors' last one, has been a happy one . . . we thank you board!

They Have Ups Our faculty this year is full of real people who are appealing and thoroughly human. They have their ups and downs and sometimes go around and around .... they Work, they play, they laugh, they sing, they are happy, they are sad, and they also become embarrassed at times. It seems that some of these grinders, or rather teachers, do not get enough of it during our THE C. C. C. H. S. TIGER ROAR and Downs n school term . . . so soon after We are dismissed from our routine, they hustle to some cool place to take up Where they left off fl or so before. Evidently year some think that it will not get hot in Kansas, because .very they go to school here in this state While others take a vaca- tion trip of some kind. These people not only play an important part in our lives, but some are very outstanding in ac- D D D tivities outside of the class- rooms. Besides furnishing the president and many members of the Business and Professional Women's Club, some of the wo- men belong to the Music Club. The men don't want the women to get ahead of them. . . . so they see to it that they are well rep- resented in the Lions Club and also thc Rotary Club. 1 'XZ 1 L-ff? 1 ,,f' 1 X X sul, Y Mr. Allen is our chief announcer.
