Our first principal was Mr. F. A. Rhine, who remained with us for four years, and much credit is due him for the foundation and upbuilding of the C. R. H. S. The enrollment at this time numbered twenty-three students. The next year Miss Freda Carlson embarked with us as English instructor and was with us for three years. The Athletic Association was also organized during the second year. This organization has been a credit to the school. The fifth and sixth years of the school's history Mr. R. C. Knapp was our prin- cipal. Mrs. Harris, our present music instructor, joined us to carry on the Work Mrs. M. Hutto had previously carried on. At the present time the enrollment has increased to fifty-nine students and the faculty consists of E. G. Hueftle, Principalg R. C. Ketterman, Vocational Agriculture instructorg Elsie Fulton, Home Economicsg Florence Brooks, English instructor. We hope that C. R. H. S. will always be as progressive an institution as it has proved to be in previous years. :Q-cz: :xr-4: 1: x rt: x-xxtxxx 7 1 ua 0 11 a o H v va 11 li 0 l .1 1 l 1 e 0 v 11 e 14 0 1 I 0 14 .1 l 1 1 l i 4l 11 1 11 1 l 1: +1 1 1 1 o 1 1 41 X 11 l 11 l 11 11 1 1 X +1 Q1.. 9-Q 5-c 1 111-11 11 1:11:11 11:1 1:-4-11:11-1 O Y- Q THE BIG BLUE 34. w THE BOARD OF EDUCATION rv rv 14 1 4 I ' J.

Hueftle Class Colors: Green and Gold Flower: Yellow Rose Class Motto: Never be flat, sometimes be sharp, always be natural ut nov! Only the vainglorious enjoy the writing of their own epitaphs. It is indeed a difficult task to steer a straight course between the Scylla of conceit and the Charyb- dis of self-effacement in the writting of a Class History, particularly in the writing of il Senior History. If the history of the class of '25 of C. R. H. S. were to be Written by one not of its own number, the class would wish that the resume of its services and activities be full and fair, yet in no way boastful. It would wish that due mention be made of the remembered that to tell of musical, dramatical and social activities of the high school it has contributed its full quota both of individual talent and group support. As a whole the class of '25 has served according to the bes' of its collective ability. It has helped in the making of certain records which will stand out in the history of Cleburne High. Yet in the hearts of the members of our class there is no whispering voice of self-commendations but rather one of regret that the services have not been greater. We cherish the hope that each succeeding class may far surpass the achievements of 1925, that each year Cleburne High may be better served by her graduating' class. Last of all in parting, we pledge to C. R. H. S. love, honor in years to come promising that good and brave deeds outside the school rooms shall be done for the building up of a greater school. r 1 :Q-:: x 1 1 .I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 2 I I I I I I I I 110 I DLG-10 T ..'9 A' 'f fifir ffm 'gin , THE BIG BLUE 15 11 , ?,. in ,YY . 7 Wffm Y. 4. .7 711.71 1 .. , . ., 5 0 0 0 U I lb 1, l H I SENIOR CLASS WILL i 1' X u l We, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and twenty-five, being of sound mind, , 11 1' 1 declare this to be our will and testament as we have no further use or need of out 1 H .. l valuable property. 1 1. l i First, to the Board of Education, we cast all our votes for a new high school l 0 building, we also thank them for their interest in the school during our four years in l 1' -- i high school.

Cofors-Sky blue and gold Flower-Pansy l 1 H Class History ,, On September the 4th of 1923, twenty-one noisy Freshmen entered the Cleburne Rural High School. This was the largest Freshman class that ever enrolled in this l 1' high school. . The dreadful course in x's was defeated for high honors, and with the aid of other subjects we carried off more honor pins than any other class. W The class officers were: Glenn Toburen, Presidentg Mae Hukriede, Vice presi- I dentg Wayne Bloomberg, Sec. and Treas.g and the Sponsor was Miss Mamie Johnson. .1 The class was again organized with Mr. Ketterman as Advisor. We suffer the loss of four members, namely, Selon Bergsten, who went to Wis- ' consing Ray Fernstrom, but its California here I come for him. Richard Brown -1 went to Wakefield and Angeline Novak is now attending' Irving High School. l .1 The class continued its struggle for C. R. H. S. and are not being faltered by N Geometry, English, or any other subjects. We are only mid-way but soon hope to 1 1 pass the half way line and become Juniors. . The class is well represented in the following activities: basket ball, base ball, 1 tennis, Glee Club, orchestra, Honor Society, dramatics, Booster Club. It is safe to bet that all who belong to the Sophomore class of '25 will be proud of the fact that i they were once its members. G.

Cars arrived early and out of them came anxious looking boys , 0 and girls. They looked as if they were bent upon some quest, and a quest it was as these youngsters numbering twenty were entering the Cleburne Rural High School as ' 3 Freshmen, to take whatever was in store for them, be it work Or play. They also j would have to endure the hardships that comes the way of anyone who bears the name l 1 of Freshman. ,.

Only two games having been lost during the entire time. One to Centralia in 1924, at the Wamego tournament and once to Leonardville in 1925. Four beautiful loving cups have possession of the trophy case and a pennant won in 1923, completes the honors they have. The Hrst tournament this year was held at Leonardville. The girls tied with Leonardville for first placc and both teams were awarded cups. The following week they attended the Wamego tournament and brought home another cup. Three of the girls were piclzed for the all-star team in each tournament. A banquet was given in their honor by the citizens of Cleburne who were always back of the team and little bronze basket ball medils were presented to tiiem. Several of the girls that played are Seniors and will leave the team, but there is good material left, and some new material coming into the school, so prospects show as succersful a team as in the past. BOYS' BASKET BALL The boys' basket ball team made a very good showing this seasong they won fourteen games out of twenty-one. Only in two games were they defeated by more than one point. They took part in two tournaments, the first at Leonardville. The First game there was with the Sacred Heart Academy of Manhattan. They played a very splendid game and defeated Sacred Heart by a score of thirty-five to seventeen, although their opponents were a very good team. But they were not so fortunate the next game which was with Leonardville, who took the tournament. We were defeated by a score of seventeen to thirty-four. At Wamego the boys did not put up a very good showing although they won the Iirst game they played which was with St. George. It was a rather slow game. Next they played with Eskridge and lost by a score of ten to thirteen. Much of the success of our team is due to the faithfulness of the coach, Mr. R. C. Ketterman. Although the squad consisted chiefiy of Seniors we are sure that there will be as strong a team next year as there is some very good material among the lower class- ITIQH. 1 xi: x x 2 111 1 1 1: 1+ 4+ - x x 0 11 Y .. 1+ 0 1 1 1 1 1a +1 11 1T!c::r:::::: ,..,.. :::::o-:::-c O-r 1 THE BIG BLUE GIRLS BASKET BALL SCHEDULE OF 1925 -4 11 1a 0 n 11 1. 1s C.

The Bible, the greatest book on earth, had no place nor recognition in our public school system. The absurdity of ignoring the one book whose teachings are vital to the individual's happiness here and here- after, and to the tranquility and perpetu- ity of our national life, must be evident to all who give the matter even slight thought. The Week-day Church School gives the Bible an accredited place in the course of study and requires the same careful study of it by the pupils that is required for any other subject in the course. Whether or not we have found the best method of doing this can be found only by giving the plan a fair and honest test.-Rev. E. M. Paddleford. THE MISSION CHURCH Why is religious instruction necessary for our young people? Perhaps one can ask: Why is secular instruction necessary for our young people? The answer is ob- vious. Where would we be or what would we be Without knowledge? Con- cerning spiritual knowledge Jesus says: A'And this is life eternal, that they know thee, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent. Solomon says: ' 'tThe fear of the Lord is the beginning of i E wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy is E understanding. Such instruction is necessary, because it is the foundation of civilization and of our free American government. Religious instruction! Could the state exist without the church and school? Our course of study has been from the New Testament embracing the life and J times of Jesus and the geography of the Holy Land and the surrounding countries and also the political life and brief history of the Israelites. Our classes begin and close with a hymn, scripture reading and prayer. The class enrollment has been eight in number. This mid-week religious instruction has marked a new era in the history of the schools of Cleburne. May God bless our churches and schools in the future.-R.

They have to their credit the award of first prize of the county contest, held at Manhattan, April 10th and 11th. It is the first time we have had an organization of this kind, and it happens to be composed of Senior girls. GLEE CLUB From the programs we present, the high standards of C. R. H. S. music may be judged. We have organized a Girls' Glee Club, Boys' Glee Club and Girls' Quartet, which organizations are doing good work. It has been the custom of the Glee Clubs to give an operetta each year for the training of the students and the entertainment of the patrons of the community. Last year the production of King's beautiful operetta Princess Chrysanthemum was one of the biggest successes of the history of the school. Tl'-is year the two Glee Clubs gave a presentation of the musical comedy, The Gypsy Rover. p-0-+-C113-to-t:11:9-4:-10-C1511 11: if I-crzrv-ers:-4::::r::::::: ::::r:o-1-Q 0--I C O H 32 THE BIG BLUE rv 1 H r 1+ J 14 0 . ., 2 n SENIOR PLAY ' THE ARRIVAL OF KITTY I ! presented by THE SENIOR CLASS 0 i of H THE CLEBURNE RURAL HIGH Coach ,......... ..Mrs. K.

U H This department, as long as it meets the requirements of the state, is guaranteed , state and federal aid to the exent of almost one-third of the teacher's salary to and H including the year 1927. In view of the trend of education at present there is reason to believe that the federal government will renew the appropriation. ' In The aim and purpose of the department is to fit the farm boys for the new 9 methods of farming that are now prevalent and those that are sure to come, and to i help farmers meet problems which confront them from time to time. Managerability, economy, diversity, use of farm labor and capital increase in production, marketing and cost accounting are the ends to which Vocational Agricul- ture hopcs to achieve. In so far as possible actual practice is foremost, but it is felt 9 that technical knowledge is necessary to good practice. i It is expected that Vocational Agriculture will become more and more useful from year to year and an invitation is extended to you for inspection, criticism and U suggestion. 0 GIRLS' VOCATIONAL HOMEIVIAKING CLASS I H The Vocational Homemaking class has organized in a new way. A cottage has H been rented, furnished and all the homemaking activities moved into it. Six girls are U staying in the house from Monday till Friday with their teacher. X They are girls of the class and are organized to fit the duties and needs. This 0 makes a real home with real living conditions to study and master three meals a day 4 -a home atmosphere. H The class is organized into a club and selected the name Kozy Kottage for our H house and the colors of buff and blue which they have carried out in the color schemes H for the house. H The club flower is the blue pansy. Sixty-three percent of the high school girls are I .i in the homemaking class. The class is so organized that all phases of home work are carried on in the Kottage each week. As projects the girls painted the woodwork , downstairs in old ivory enamel, made buf and blue window drapes, table runners, H buffet scarfs, table cloths and napkins, selected wall paper to match their color schemes and many others. 0 The homemaking class, with the agriculture class, gave two plays. 'tThe Coon- 0 ville Aristocratic Club was given in two district schools, Swede Creek and Spring . . . . . 4 Side. Y1mm1e Yonson's Yoh was given March 2nd and 3rd in the Grand Theatre and in Irving March 10th. Our cottage is the first to be worked out on this plan in the state of Kansas, and H we hope the most successful. President ....... ..... - -Mae Hukriede Vice president .... ....

LUTHERAN CHURCH Train up a child in the Way he should go, And even when he is old he will not depart from it. -Prov. 2 216. The fear of Jehovah is the beginning chief part of knowledge. But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction. -Prov. 1:7. The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom: A good understanding have all they that do his commandments: His praise endureth for ever. --Ps. 111:10, The pastors of the churches represented in the Cleburne Rural High School and grade schools, together with the teachers, school board members and parents of the children, recognized and admitted that what God's word says about religion instruc- tion is sound wisdom. Acting upon this and encouraged by other communities, who are imparting religious teaching, brought about this Mid-week Religious Instruction. In the chapel of the Mariadahl Lutheran church, the course of study has been: In the high school group: The Old Testament Bible history. The students have written answers to questions on the lessons prepared by the teacher. The lessons have been gone over in the class afterwards. In the grade school group: Grade V in the Sunday school course has been used. Each lesson has a catechism lesson, memory verse, hymn, Bible narrative and ques- tions. Eighteen students have been enrolled in the high school group and thirteenl in the grade school group. The teacher has been very much encouraged with the regular attendance of the member and their faithful preparation of the lessons and has reason to believe that the work has not been in vain. C. E. L., Ins. HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES A great saving in gas can be made by serving only cold meals. A pair of scissors is very effective for removng stains from any fine material. The housewife who wants a little pin money should unwind and save all the keys from sardine cans. Any junk dealer will pay seven cents for every 10,000. An excellent way to get the garret cleaned out is to tell your husband you saw a peculiar looking bottle up there. 0 OT -ca :xo-t::r-o-cz:-crrzxrxo-o-ex 11 :I 1: Ir-i :trin- Q-c - xxxxxxxxx'--xxxxxxr' 14 THE BIG BLUE O - QI J-0-rx: :xr--0-0-C Q-C I I 1 bit i 9-t I I t I f 2 1 3-6 0-C AG O .i 42 THE BIG BLUE ' ALUMNI I Fred Rhine-Teaching school. ,, Effie Duell-In Greeley, Colorado.
