If in later years, by looking over the pages of this book, they may spend an idle hour, we can consider our work not in vain. It is impossible to please everyone, so if there is anything that does not please you, please ov.erlook it, as it was not done intentionally.

Fo continue: His clothes and citified appearance stamped him as being what is commonly called in New York, a down-town business man. He came to this out-of-the- way park the day before, the day before that, and the day previous. Seldom anyone came to this park for you see, meddlesome reader, it was in the late autumn. Presently another man appeared on the scene, just a couple of seats from the other. This second figure was clad in khaki and his cap was pulled low over his eyes. Evidently both men liked this hour of quiet, solitude for memories. Both looked up simultaneously and for the first time perceived the presence of the other. The one in khaki started slightly as though he thought he recognized the dignified figure on the green bench. He came forward and began the introductory topic- the weather. And he was the first to change this topic by saying: Say, pard, luck dealt me a poor hand. Awful! I'm just back from England. Saw service in British army. Well, I'm home and dead broke. And fhesitatinglyj I'd like to earn a dollar from you. By what code of ethics would you undertake to earn that sum ? quickly replied the experienced business man. Well, by doing some talkin'. What!i' yelled the other alertly, Is this to be blackmail?f' Calm yourself, pard. No it is not. It is just this: Aren't you Wilbur Madison Padgett of Wall Street, but also the Heavy Padgett that hails from Coffeyville, Kansas ? ' Whatl Do you know me? Do you hail from there, too? Yes, was the careless reply. Then you know something of that old class of mine, the '19 class you know, cried the eager Wilbur. Tell me quickly what has become of them all. Talk fast, young man. There was little resemblance between the dignified-man and the now shaken, trembling figure. Well, that's exactly the way I intend earning those eight bits, slowly spoke the soldier. For about eight years I have been a wandering Jew over this little globe, and its surprising how many of that class are scattered over its surface. Say, that class sure was a ripper. Had some pep, everyone thought. Yes, yes, but go on, was the interruption. Probably the soldier feared for the peace of poor Wilbur's mind for he continued: The first the '19 class that I met, was in London. while on furlough. One day I entered the swinging doors of the Black Rat fnoted for dark coffee and excellent hen fruit, well cooked, brown on bottom and sunny side upj. Within its doors I saw the X . 3 J ew qhQ F prplo C petite, dainty headwaitress plowing her way between the big gents' tables, frantically balancing that tray of hot coffee and soft eggs. In a second I recognized this graceful little swan. Like an idiot I hollored out, 'Isy, Iky, Isabelle' Then tray, steaming coffee and soft eggs descended onto the bald spot of London's best, as she ran and grabbed me. The unfortunate dude spluttered his indignation and threats and then we both recognized the coffee and egg stained face of dear old English Ed Woolcottf' What a joyous reunion, that must have been, cried Wilbur happily. But speaking of society reminds me. I went to the opera a while back, and sitting in the box of the aristocracy I saw the archduchess, Grace Carns, and the archduke, Herman Reinken. But sorrows! They did not condescend to notice me., But a few minutes later to my greater consternation I found that W. E. Ziegler and Francis Martin fyes still as fond as everl were appearing in concert together. W. E. had deserted the piano as it failed to show the public his gifted talents-so to bring the melodious music of a real artist to our ears, he had begun playing the fiddle. Francis was equallyas great an artist on the tambourine and the French harp. e You don't say! I always said that class was a brilliant one that's why I got interested in it. But I know cf another that has also won a world reputation. When my regiment was passing through the tall grass of Central Africa the first person I met was Mary Wells. She told me confidentially the reason she came there was because one received such thrilling inspirations while crawling through the grasses, which if put into words would be the making of real literature. It must have been true for upon completion of her work the Egyptian critic, Tessie Hudson, declared the experiment to bc a success. Go on. Don't stop, tearfully begged the joyous Wilbur. Whom did you see next and where? ' Let me think. Oh! Yes, after that I went to Australia, then back to Paris and then on to India. In Australia I met Mildred Neale and Fane Vawter, being starred in Uncle Tom's Cabin. Naturally I thought Mildred would be some delightful character and Fane probably Simon Legree. But no. Fane was the keeper of the bloodhounds and Mildred was.. ..... Stop, stop, not that-not that, interrupted Wilbur aghastg and then jabbering wildly as if to himself, And Mildred was a bloodhoundf' Nonsense, shouted the soldier irritably. UI didn't say that. Mildred was, of course, little Eva that loved the bloodhounds. At this, the imaginative Wilbur became dumb with joy and his companion continued, t'On my ship to Paris, I found that the French premier danseuse' was abroad, and it was no other than Vernice Pate. She was as great a French favorite as Marie Antionette. Predominating amongst her train of suitors was Kenneth Davidson. And it was on this same ship that a cry for help was received and the rescuing party set out and brought back to safety the sole sur- vivors of a shipwreck, Bessie and Bertha Ferguson. ' How such news delights me. But who did you see in Paris. Why one of your old friends, I believe. I arrived just in time to have the pleasure of seeing Bonnie Plunkett, the only human fly, scale the perpendicular walls of Eifel Tower. She was the last that I met in France, I think. Is that so! cried the rejoiced Wilbur. Then you must have missed seeing Dr. Robert Murray. How could it have been possible! Some years ago when I was there he told me that he was experimenting on deceased Germans on the battlefields of the if e, , s I Nl-qhe purple C-f-T-H-,, X '1 . Marne trying to discover to what species of animals that generation belonged. It was his firm belief that they were a cross between a skunk and a coyote. A very good theory to advance, exclaimed the soldier. But I guess I'll just go on with my story. In India I met the most ghoulish of all my experiences. I went to a native carnival and saw Professor Magi, Sovereign of the Unseen World who was no other than Ray Ensch. He was so glad to see something from Kansas that he told me fthrough the aid of his supernatural powers? an incomprehensible story about Ethel Jameson and Ethel Clayton leaving their firesides to educate cannibals of the South Seas. And to supply their great need of educational books, Vivian Elvey published three volumes of the letters, x, y, z, of the encyclopedia. Ah, real martyrs, Wilbur interpfsed. But what else did you see while there. The next one I saw, resumed the soldier, was Naomi Rhodes, 'The Modern Medusa of the Snaky Locks.' And last I witnessed the marvelous accomplishments of Lucille Robey, 'The Renowned Enchantressf Her other, even more euphemistic title, 'Repitilian Mesmeriet', was to be seen on all the posters of India. Indeed! whispered the astonished Wilbur. Then after a pause he went on more steadily. Speaking of posters, reminds me. Have you seen the posters all over the States. No! Well, they are pictures of two sweet and simple Quaker girls praising and recommending Quaker Oats as a very, very fattening food. These charming ones are no other than Catherine Tuttle and Kaltherine Welker. But how one instance brings to my mind another, Qcontinued the business manj. Now speaking of posters, reminds me of streets, and streets remind me of taxis. fYou see Wilbur was eternally being reminded of something, never in want of a thing to say.J Well, my dear fellow, you can imagine my consternation as I stepped into a taxi on Fifth Ave. last week and beheld the dashing little driver as Gladys Carey. Happily we renewed our schoolday acquaintance and away we traveled down the avenue fsomething like a hurricanej. A cop on the corner tried to intervene with Gladys' headlong speed and for his pains got knocked down thrice. He was furious, insane as he hollered, Stop idiot! She looked down on him and said, so sweetly 'Oh, wusk! I do declare if it isn't dear old Sally. a Haw, haw! My sides will split, roared the soldier. Finally he controlled this side-splitting mirth enough to say, Now there is Maurice Winn. He's a rich man now. Yes, you see he built a large store for ladies' ready-to-wear on the fourth stop between Nowata and Coffeyville. Ladies for miles around are seen walking up the newly trodden path to its doors. He employes no help whatsoever to manage these over- flowing riches except the services of the corsetiere, Loren Heasomf' Corking, sweet essence of vinegar! exclaimed Wilbur, slowly drifting back to the language of the sweet-long-ago, as you see. But Gertrude Talbot has also obtained riches. She came into the inheritance of ten million from her old schoolmate, Everet Sage, the packing house king. She is now widely known as the pork butcher's ten million dollar heiress. It's dumfounding to think of such wealth, gasped the soldier. But here's the stunnerg Carl Eagle claims he has found a mine-a gold mine. Guess where. Well, it's in the air, and worth all the gold of the nation. All he has to do is to sit rigid and pick gold nuggets out of the atmosphere. He says he has a fine collection of these precious nuggets on display at his place of residence, Osawatomie, Kansas. Ah! Carl was always such a hustler, but have you seen or heard of Bill Carpen- Q I -0 'xx' SKI' X2 i -Csfho Pprplo C ter, Rollin Johnson and Edgar McCoy and the rest that were so peppy and snappy, questioned the curious Wilbur. Yes, you bet I have. I heard of Bill Carpenter in Brazil. One stormy night he was trespassing on private property when a limb fell and thumped him on the medulla oblongata. It left a navy blue and green bump on his bushy brow, so I heard. But to add to all this, the widow, Aileen Robertson and also the owner cf the chicken farm, brought suit on the grounds that Bill was the thief that stole a poor widow's chickens. The criminologist, Ora Huddleston, won her the case and convinced the court that the offender should serve 101 days on the rock pile. HHOW very terrible, forlornly said Wilbur. But go on. You spoke of Rollin Johnson. Surely you've heard about how he achieved national success with his two novels, entitled 'One Hundred Ways of Proposing' and tThe Combin- ation Fortune Teller and Complete Dictionary of Dreams'. Hm-m! No I hadn't, but speaking of dictionaries reminds me, again interrupted Wilbur fthe remindedj. Martha Read has completed a dictionary of six thousand words of slang which she lovingly dedicates to Bertha Reinken with hopes that she will find it as helpful in phraseology as it proved to be to her. You asked me about Ed McCoy? Yes I met him a few years ago. He told me very sadly and dolefully that the girls had been failing to succumb to his charms lately so he was traveling on his way to a lonely monastery to become a monk. But I heard later that he got no further than the castle of Countess Ruth Dillon. When she heard o fhis pathetic complaint her loving, gentle heart was touched and she employed him as her Merry Andrew fcourt fooll. 'tSweet essence, the old sweet thing! yelped Wilbur, rocking with mirth. Pardon, my dear fellow. Now tell me more, more. I thirst for more Csometimes Wilbur seemed nearly poetic.---D You probably remember those desires that Charles Graves cherished to be a brake- inan for a railroad. Well, the railroad thought it could not be considered safety to their passengers for a person with such fiery blushes to be around such dangerous elements as those of a train . But Crack should be bothered, for he's more than pleased with his new position, a brakeman on the soda fountain in Iceland. Bullyl But then there are several girls of that class that we mustn't overlook. There are Grace Berentz, Helena Luzius, Florence Nichols and some others. I've met a few of them and I suppose you have also. It was only last month that as I stepped into the office of Anne Elliott KL Co. to transact some business, I found Grace Berentz pounding a business lady's piano Cin other words a typistj. My how she could fly! I plead with her to come into my employ, but no. She proved loyal to her firm. 'tYes, they always seemed girls that were sober, steadfast and demure, quoted the soldier. f'Now I met ...... Wait, commanded the suddenly inspired Wilbur, I haven't finished. Let me talk, then you say what you want to. I was just going to say that Helena Luzius is the Winsome leading lady whose grace and skilful dancing is a bright spot on Broad- wayg taking New York by storm, so I hear. Well, now if you're right sure you've finished I'll go on, said the soldier peevishly. In Borneo I met my friend, the wonderful animal fighter, Dorothy Gilliland. She told me with horror about Raymond Hedrick being on a wild goose chase, fighting all sorts of beasts, fespecially colorasb in an attempt to find a certain long-billed bird whose if Q Q5 i i-Gl'lJxQl?:1rplQ C I ff head and feathers Florence Nichols had taken a fancy she wanted for a new Easter hat. Oh, how flippant of one so young, wailed Wilbur. 'tBut yesterday I heard some- thing nearly as extrardinary. You must remember how charming Bill Nelson could be. Well, he was awarded a suffragette penant by the president, Williamette Kiddoo. She declared he was the only mere man whom she knew that posssssed every wile known to cupid's art. Bill was so pleased that he is now making public speeches for that organization. Gosh! grinned the soldier, Willamette president of the Suffragist League! I thought she was ,something like the rest, a man-lover. But the unexpected always happens, you know. Now there is Mary Masters who is wearing the matchless Royal jewels and Imperial crown of the Fiji Islands. These were formerly the possessions of the ex-queen, Lola Roberts. And ...... Not so fast, my dear fellow. You make me forget I'm reminded. It was just a month ago that Ralph Florea was arrested here in New York for shouting love letters through a megaphone to a deaf amanuensis in the public square. The soldier drew a gaspy breath of unbelief, and said, By jove, what a nut! He then looked at his watch and said in astonishment, What? My time is just about up, so 1 guess I'll just wind up with the following and collect that dollar. As you may know Fern Dienst is now the ex-champion picador fbull fighterj of Spain. Ruth McNulty met and surpassed her old schoolmate in the bloody ring of Spain's best sport at the King's Meet last year. Also Margaret Welsh introduced to the sporting world the 1930 model Welsh car. She tells convincingly of its power to climb bluffs, jump canyons, swim, fly, everything in fact but sleep. This about exhausts my knowledge of that '19 class, finished the soldier. How really wonderful are all that class! Was there ever such a body! passionately spoke Wilbur. And I believe that we have accounted for them all now. And I also have to thank you for your benevolence to me in my hour of need and misery. Such help was worth a dollar a minute. But you have certainly had the advantage of me alongg all that I know is that you hail from Coffeyville, Kansas. It's rather eccentric you know, to have a soldier of adventure interested in one's own good old High class. I In--B--9 A-a-ah, I don't thing you'd re ...... Wait a minute, wildly commanded Wilbur fagain inspiredb. It surely looked as if his imagination was placing him in another world. My fancy, he continued ffgaz- ing off into distancej pictures a face on the football field, baseball field, the track and last a chapel-room scene. Say Qcoming back to earthb there's a strong resem- blance in your face and his. Ah--- I think I know you now, finished Wilbur in a joyous surprise. A Then what's my name, grinned the soldier at the same time gripping the out- stretched hand of the other. Why it's no other than Cap. Woods, Wilbur declared. FINIS. EULA SHOFFNER. OPAL SHOFFNER. ' O 4 XX-1 X -qho Pprpl C i-W Class History. We have been asked to write the history cf the most noble and brilliant class ever graduated from this institution of learning so we will do our best to tell the truth. When we entered we were so bright that we fairly blinded the upper classmen. We so astonished them with our knowledge they forgot to make fun of us. We passed our first year in study and holding the opinion gained at the beginning. During our Soph. year some of our members entered the track and we have been well represented there ever since. Our Soph. year soon passed during which time we were of a little more importance than the present Soph. class. The next year we were somebody! We were Juniors and tho't we were indeed noble and inspiring. But, judging from the present Junior class, no Junior could be that tho' we are sure we were some better than they are. At Thanksgiving we gave the usual Junior play which was the best ever presented, before or since, by a Junior class. In May came the end of school and the Juniors entertained the Seniors with a picnic. Accompanied by an adequate number of chaperones we went to Downing's farm and proceeded to get close to nature both literally and figuratively. Then came graduation and we were the truly noble Seniors, yes Noble Seniors for Kennedy says we are and surely he is an honest man. School opened again in September and began for us our last happy year at C. H. S. Sad to say the faculty were as strong on pink ones as ever. On account of the Flu only two football games were played. One we won and the least said about the other the better. But this spring six of our class received their coveted purple and gold sweaters. Because of the Flu we had to postpone our Xmas play and at the suggestion of Miss Harper we held a reception, the first ever given in this school. It was enjoyed by all, especially the Seniors, and we hope the other classes will make this a custom. In January we gave our delayed play, which drew a large crowd and was the best Senior play ever given. Everyone said so. There were twelve in the cast and each played his part well and foretold something of what the commencement play will be like. Next came the Junior-Senior party which was held in H. S. building. We hope none of the rules and regulations were badly cracked and that the Juniors and Seniors next year may have a ,party and keep up this ancient and enjoyable custom. The climax of the athltic year is the Santa Fe Track Meet. Coffeyville must bring home the cup this year. Then the other classes must see that it stays here the neces- sary time to make it ours for good. We are not able to say who will be the honor students this year and it is hard to guess, because there are so many, many bright students in the Senior class. And in closing we will say that we will give the best commencement play and commencement program ever given by any class. fSignedJ SENIOR CLASS 1919. Per. Willamette Kiddoo, Martha Read. 4?

Farewell forever! 1 A ac ogg qhQ Purpio C ---W 22 1 Mary Elizabeth Wells. The heirs and friends of the departed Class of 1919 were assembled to hear the reading of her Will. The room was in silence, deathlike silence, and the lawyer stood with bowed head, for he, too, had loved the Class of '19, and the only ray of sunshine in the Whole affair ffor himj was that he was being liberally paid .... 5 lawyers adore money! I At last with supreme effort he drew himself together fnot that he'd been falling apart, but ...... J and with trembling voice began: We, the ccnspicuously perspicuous Seniors of this great old institution of learning, known as the Washington High School, situated in the thriving metropolis of Coffey- ville, which incidentally is in the state of Kansas, knowing that we have but a few more weeks to live, do hereby write our last WILL and TESTAMENT, ahd we most heartily hope that our decisions will be found satisfying to the heirs-and heiresses, so that we may have nothing to disturb us while we are sojourning in our tufted graves. First, to the Faculty-the nob-le and very deserving Faculty we leave all of the hypocritical superficiality we never had-and of which they are in dire need. To the unmarried feminine members we leave the electric bells which have so often delighted our ears with their music, and we hope that they'll use them as wedding bells. To our beloved principal, Prof. Kennedy, we sadly bequeath all of our red and white permits, from which he may erase his hieroglyphics and use again for the Juniors-we NEVER deserved 'em-they do. Second, to the Junior Class we leave the earthly remains of Ralph Florea. They may sell him to Swift and Company, or Armour's and thus make enough money to give a big party. And the Juniors, too, may have all of our P's, which they may serve at the aforementioned party. ' Third, to the Sophomores, with many qualms and misgivings we bequeath our most valued possession-all of the hopes we have cherished during our long years here for a new high school with a gymnasium. If you pray hard enough for a thing you'll get it, Sophies-our trouble was that we didn't start soon enough, so now commence! Fourth, the Freshmen we solemnly give the piano in the Assembly Room, four pencil sharpeners, six powder puffs, one red permit, twenty-five sticks of perfectly good gum, all of our outgrown clothes, and Miss McCoy. We know that all of these will be very useful, and practical gifts for young children are always appreciated by their mothers if not by themselves. And now having disposed of our various parasites-the Faculty and the others, we'll bestow the various riches of the various members of the Class- of 1919 upon the various inferiors of this school. Opal Shoffner's air of being beautiful, sweet and good, in her rare maidenhoodv, Q se 0,110,130 A Crt Du 1 C is hereby knocked off to the honorable Miss Vera Edith Blackburn-may she ever find it as soothing as Opal found it! Mamma's little boy, who is lovingly known as Wayne McClelland by his class- mates leaves his bea-u-ti-ful red locks to one by whom they'll really be appreciated .... THE GIRL IN THE CASE. Ray Ensch's complacent way of appropriating other people's perfectly good ideas is given to Earl Griffith. Earl, too, is an adept in the art, but he will have learned all about it that can be learned when he comes into his inheritance. At the request of one of the noblest of the Senior girls, Gertrude Talbot's hair is given to one of those cunning little Freshmen, Virginia Kennon. Herman Reinken's perpetual cuteness is, by the wish of his dear shorthand teacher left to Royal Enders. And oh, yes-Edgar McCoy leaves every single, solitary one of his perfect copies in typewriting to Royal, too. Honestly Royal needs 'em! The fellow William Carpenter thinks he is, is to be divided equally between John Heckman and Rice Fuller. Just wait till they're Seniors. Gladys Carey's marvelous propensity for making people believe she's a great student, she wishes given to the various members of the Sophomore class. CSee Miss Watson for a list of those who are most desperately wanting in said propensity.J Kenneth Davidson's romantic name is left to some budding movie actor who finds his name, Ceter Perkins Jones, Jr., his only drawback. With all due decorum, we the worthy Seniors, do give one of our most important pieces, W. E. Ziegler, Jr., to the Zeigfield Follies to be renovated and made into a first class chorus girl. Grace Berentz's almost-innocent, almost-blue eyes go unanimously to the Junior she loves best in all the world -Amen. To her namesake of motion picture fame we leave Ethel Clayton in great hopes that they'll be merged into one and become incidentally the world's greatest actresses- oh, we mean actress. Naomi Rhodes leaves 'em all to the Montgomery County Road Association, or what- ever its name it, as these are fine roads and will attract people from miles around. Grace Carns' irreproachable reputation and pleasant little smile are rather grudg- ingly left to the redoubtable Miss Anna Hancock. Margaret Welsh's CAR, together with her studiousness, are given to Aubrey Neale. May they ever be as useful to him as they were to Margaret---g just how useful they were to her she only knows. . Helena Luzius' and Bertha Reinken's life-long joint ambitions for millionaires are bequeathed to Inez Henry and Nellie Iler-also jointly. Katherine Welker's tall young pulchritude we leave to Betty Morgan. Ah! Lelia Varney comes in for Ed Woolcott's celebrated vampire pose. There is one other Soph. Who'd love to have it, but you know Leila! The dainty little Charles Graves blush we give to the Coffeyville Paint and Wall Paper Company to be mixed with whatever paint is made of and sold as red fence paint. Bessie and Bertha Ferguson's remarkable likeness to each other they give to Helen and Wenonah Lambe-now Helen don't get sore. sk agif Q Glho Purple C William Nelson's peculiar oratorical gifts, although gained at great expense through a correspondence school of oratory, he very gracefully passes to Miss Rose McCoy. Aileen R0bertson's superfluous credits are bequeathed to some of the Sophomores -they probably can graduate in 1920 with their help. The monopoly Fane Vawter and Mildred Neale have on certain seats in chapel they leave to Nellie Iler and Rice Fuller. - The great love of a certain teacher in C. H. S. for Frances Martin goes to her successor fthat is the love goes to Frances' successorj .... we can't mention her name, but the certain teacher knows all about it. , Loren Heasom's vague sort of popularity with the OTHER SEX he leaves to Warren McNabney. Our feminine Charlie Chaplin leaves all of her original jokes to Ruth McCoy. QN. B. Said Charlie is Violet Ashby.D Mary Masters' magnificent Voice, though greatly desired by the Metropolitan Opera Company, she condescendingly leaves to Velma Bay. Willamette Kiddoo's great passion for a certain boy in her French class she sadly gives to Esther McCoy. The world famed recipe which Ruth Dillon uses for curly hair she leaves to Lucille Young, though she really hates to have it known. Rollin Johnson's modest little girly-girl ways go from him rather blushingly to his little sister. Anna Elliott and Ruth McNulty in the best of ......... But here at the mention of the two dearest of the lawyer's dear departed friends he completely broke down and as he could not bear to read of their disposition he incident- ally skipped it and trailed on in his weak, tearful little voice. Eula Shoffner's extraordinary resemblance to Miss Carrie Dolbee, though not really appreciated by Eula, is left to Helen Gilchrist. The unusual and altogether astounding rapidity with which Bonnie Plunkett takes shorthand she kindly bestows upon Louise Exner. Fern Dienst's superabundance of huge words she confers upon Lila Graham. The rare tirnidity which is Vivian Elvey's great charm she leaves to Rosedell Ogden, who needs it sorely. Carl Eagle's know-it-all-and-then-some appearance is given to Frank Remington. The thing that travels under the alias of Melvin Wood gives itself unto a certain Sophomore to have and to hold from henceforth. Raymond Hedrick's never ceasing seriousness he gives to a girl in the Junior class whose never ceasing unseriousness is becoming nerve racking. The class rowdy, Ted Miller, although improving as the time goes on, leaves his decidedly ungentlemanly ways to Ril Keefauver. Robert Murray's aptitude for the deepest of deep reading is solemnly bequeathed to Beryl Sanford. Catherine Tuttle's willowy form and graceful ways are quite unwillingly given to Jeanette Heckman. Florence Nichol and Ora Huddleston's widely different types of beauty are con- do 144 I , , QF-.Crm 'igiwpfe c V-My ferred upon the Latin Club to be used in their exhibits as the dieties representing Day and Night. To the next president of the Y. W. C. A., Isabelle Price leaves her executive, legisla- , tive and judicial ability. Martha Read's secret ambition to become versed in all culinary arts she gives -to Miss Nixon if she'll have it. Lucille Robey's vocal organs-fin this case her tongue is includedj go to the Victor Talking Machine Company. QThis company will please hasten to take away its legacy.D The grins which will not come off-owned and operated by Vernice Pate and 1 Dorothy Gilliland, are herewith offered to the species of cats known as Cheshires-to N be used in case one of the aforesaid cats should lose the aforesaid grin. 7 Maurice Winn's everlasting funniness and his intense hatred of all G-I-R-L-S he leaves to Clyde Kiddoo. Ethel Jameson's nun-like decorum and various other well known and well loved traits are bequeathed to Margaret Duckworth. The day dreams that Wilbur Padgett apparently dreams about nine-tenths of his time are to be cleaned with gasoline and given to Miss Harper's English classes. The material in them may then be available for use in story writing. On this twenty-seventh day of March in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred Nineteen, we hereunto affix or seal and signature and appoint as our sole executor our beloved principal, Prof. R. Y. Kennedy. I CLASS OF NINETEEN. Per Mary Elizabeth Wells. And with that the hearerssof the Will slowly went from the Assembly Room-all of them saying in their own hearts that Hthey made them graves fthe Senior graves, 1 meanb too deep and damp for hearts so high and breezy.

Rah! Rah! Toast To the Seniors Seniors, this is a time in your lives in which you as nien and women may either face the World with success or failure. The Junior Class of 1919 wishes you every possible success in all your undertakings, whether they be in college or in facing the world. Uur class may say we are glad to see you leave us, as we may have a chance to raise the standard which you have so successfully set, even higher. ln your class there are many active leaders that we will miss, but we will try to replace them wlth the best possible in our class. We assure you the Junior Class of 1919 will always be loyal to the Senior Class of 1919. Class History We, the noble Junicrs, were first seen in the halls of that grand old place of learn- ing called Coffeyville High School, in 1916. We felt greatly honored to be allowed to go around and gaze with wistful eyes at the upper class men and also felt so priv- ileged to have seats in the balcony, knowing that they were reserved especially for our benefit. ln our Freshman year we were very studious receiving grades much higher than the average classes. ln athletics we were not so successful our first year as only one of our number received a letter although several went out for football. In the many organizations of the high school were found many of our classmen. ln our Sophomore year we were denied organization, but had lots of t'pep and nge. We supported the high school as true and loyal students should. In athletics many of our number came out. In all the organizations we took an active part whether it wrre the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Latin club or Debating club. We entered school in the fall of 1918 as Juniors. After several weeks we had our first class meeting in which we organized, electing our class officers, who have proven to be a successful and efficient staff. Class dues We collected and all necessary busi- ness of conducting a class was carried on. Much rivalry has been shown between the Junior and Senior classes, whether in color fights or athletics. ln basketball the Junior class produced a very good team equalling the best. Track season has opened and from the Junior Class, several stars are expected to be developed. The interclass track meet which will probably be held before this goes to press which will be one of the important factors, in which the stars of our class will win fame. VVe are expecting and are con- fident that we will receive our share of the points. Burton Gamble shows promising results in the pole vault and high jump. Warren McNabney, Clarence Strickland, James Anderson, Karl Huffman, George Gabler are also expected to show up well in the interclass. One can never tell what will happen but we all hope to be Seniors next year and to make it even a better year than this year has been. fk if II 'I I I I I II II I I I I I I I I I I I 'I I I5 I I II .I l -'XI Xi.

Even Worse Critical observer: I don't think much of the articles you print. We don't either, replied the Junior Editors pleasantly, but you ought to read some of the stuff we don't print. Most anyone can be an editor. All the editor has to do is to sit at a desk and write such things as this: Mrs. Jones of Cactus Creek, let a can opener slip last week and cut herself in the pantry. A mischevious boy of Piketown threw a stone and cut Mr. Pike in the alley last Tuesday. Joe Loomis climbed on the roof of his house, looking for a leak and fell, striking himself on the back porch. While Harold Green was escorting Miss Violet Wise from the church social last Saturday night, a savage dog attacked them and bit Mr. Green on the public square. Old Ci Clone while harnessing a broncho last Wednesday, was kicked, just south of his corn crib. Wayne R.: I say, your bull-dog bit me. John H.: Well what do you expect a bull-dog to do-slap you on the wrist? Lila G.: I put a note in the jar for the milk man. Prof. R. Y. K.: Yes, my dear, I found it in the milk. Grace M.: Louise, how do you think I would look if I covered my ears with hair? Louise E.: Why I think you would look all right dear,-but- Grace: Yes? Louise: Have you enough hair? my Rice: 'fI think she loves me. I see she lets you hold her hand Earl: Rice: Yes, and when I do, her pulse seems considerably accelerated. Mrs. Junior: Go aheadl' Price fin chemistry classy: 'WVe will now take poison. She: What is the matter with you? He: Well this collar is pressing my adam's apple so hard, that I can taste cider. She: You seem worried Clarence, What's on your chest? Clarence S. fhoarselyhz Can you smell that-liniment way over there? , 1 Small sister: Bet he would kiss you if I weren't herel' A Nellie I.: You bad girl! Run away this very instant.

Oh, how We rejoice to think we were among the students in the dear old school and to think that we held a part, even a minor one, in its society. We were rather hazy at first as to what chapel, really was and perchance we looked as green as some of the Juniors tried to make us believe. Sophomores! At last we are somebody and can look down from our new eminence on the poor Freshman. We realize the importance of our privileges, though they may not be as great as the Seniors. We have worn our new honors and responsibilities with becoming gravity. Although we had no members of our class on the football team we had a few out for track. We may not have made much show in athletics, yet we are a bright class and will shine in the next two years in which we have to reach our goal-Graduation. Thus, you find us and leave us, for the time being, Sophomores, half-way up the ladder of success. Sophomore Jokes Susie Jamison fin English class, referring to February 221: I suppose you all know Washington was born yesterday? Freshman: At which end of the car do we get off? Motorman: Doesn't make much difference I guess-both ends stop. Ralph Cammick: My friend, by a wave of his hand can sway the multitudes. Burton Gamble: How is that? Is he an influential speaker ? R. C.: No, he is a traffic cop. Ruth McCoy: Why are washerwomen silly people? Hazel U.: Why? R. MCC.: Because they put their tubs out to catch soft water when it rains hard. K. A.

Of the tribe now famed as Sophomores, I should answer, I should tell you, Ye who love the students' stories, Listen to this tale of wonder, In the dim and distant ages, E'en while yet in eighth grade classes, There were longings, yearnings, starvings, For a knowledge that was higher, So as Freshmen entered High School, Boys and girls all timid hearted, Groping blindly in the darkness, Full of hope all mixed with heart-break, Eager for advance in learning, How they studied, how they worried! How they toiled and struggled onward! 'Till as Sophomores they are numbered. Some have fallen by the wayside, Others, in their haste, have left them. But a faithful few, undaunted, Still press toward the goal, completion. Q e Q5 l x ff' x I If Ml'-Tl Q purpfe C 'W? !E I!

H. S. In fact, we have heard some of our teachers say so. . If a person would examine the rolls of the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. he would find that almost all of the Freshmen belong to them. Our class has made a fine showing in athletics. Our baseball team has defeated everyone that it has played except the Seniors. Our basketball team defeated the Sophomore team. In the Interschool Track Meet our team made a fine showing for their size and lack of training. The boys are not the only ones who have won yictories. The girls sold the largest amount of tickets in the Y. W. C. A. contest and dined at the expense of other classes. So the future is bright for our class, and we are sure the class of 1922 will break all records in the years to come. -REXFORD ROBERTSON. 4? QQ Q5 Griae prime c Q4 rea ara emma Q.

Y. Kennedy. It is largely due to his efforts that we. as Seniors, have reached our goal. He has long been the dynamo of the Coffeyville High School. From his office there has emanated an influence for good, for unity, for progress, for a wholesome school spirit that has been felt in every department and in every organization of our school. That that influence has been of the rarest and best has been proved by the pronounced success which has attended the graduates of our high school, whether their lives have been directed in the college paths or business chan- nels or on the field of battle where moral courage is put to the supreme test. In all these crucial tests it has been proved that their preparation in all that makes for complete manhood has been ample. The proof is not wanting that they have been taught the right principles of life and have the moral cour- age to live them. With this solid foundation on which to build it is easy to achieve success. The loyalty which these graduates show to Mr. Kennedy, that loyalty which deepens with the-passing years is a touching tribute to his goodness. Now the time has come when we, the Seniors of 1919, go to join his Alumni friends, assuring him that time can never lessen, but only increase the deep respect and esteem in which we hold him-our principal, our guide :ind our friend.

It may be that We have occasionally cast a ray 'mf sunshine into their narrow gloomy cells, and they have always shown keen appreciation of these little kindnesses. Whatever they may have seemed to us as we faced them in the confines of the class room, they were always very human after they had passed beyond the doors of the school building. It is not hard to make Miss Hancock forget her immortal Cicero, but do not try to experiment, between the hours of 8:30 to 3:30 o'clock. We have 'often suspected Miss McCoy and Miss Hutchinson of being more fond of Swiss Chocolates than the cube, the square, and the Commercial Law. The music of the porch swing brings more joy to Miss Henry's soul than the hum of the typewriter, and Miss Blackburn closes Easy French with a bang when the latest best sellers appear at the local news stand. So, after all, they are real good pals veneered with an austere pro- fessionalism which strikes terror to the quaking hearts of Freshmen. As Seniors we have pierced this surface and found them, better than they seem. Now, here's to you, you ride your hobby each of you, but we will miss you and we leave behind our best wishes and hopes for happy lives-each and all. si , '-' I-+ , 35 ax K3 Q Q Qi--GTRQ QQFPPIQ C 5 Af QQ W2 Ol ..,.,2 Mae, ,Q JL f M f , I ' 'W W?

ED WOOLCOTT Ed was elected Captain of the Cof- feyville High School football team this year after Joe Sticelber quit school. He made a good captain and managed the team very Well. He was a small man but he has had three years on the team and is considered the best playing man on the team this year. He was captain of the baseball team last year and did very Well with- out the aid of a coach. WILLIAM NELSON Bill was elected Captain of the Track Team this year. He has proved a very efficient captain. It was due to him that we received the help of John Bixby as coach of our Track Team. Bill was the best dash man that ever ran for C. H. S. He won the 100 yard dash and 220 yard dash at the Santa Fe this year. He also won the 50 yard, the 100 yard and the 220 yard from Nowata. aff aaa at QL--Grtelgfuapfe c Jp f ff Zu ,Q Zh!! M Zz, w f Charles Graves, five feet, six inches, 148 pounds, Half-back. A bullet in disguise, he was not bad looking but he sure could go through the line. Crack came to C. H. S. last year and played half-back both years. If Crack had been in the Thanksgiving game we believe we would have won. Melvin Wood, five feet, ten inches, 133 pounds, End. This was Cap's ,second and last year. At end Cap was at his best, he is one of the fastest ends Coffeyville ever had. When a play started around Cap's end it was broken up for a loss. Joe Sticleber, five feet, elecen inches, 160 pounds, Center. Sticky was the most steady and dependable player on the team, in fact he was the head of the team and well deserved to be known as such. It will be a long time before another man will be found who will be able to hold the pivot position as well as Joe did. Gene Murray, five feet, eleven inches. 152 pounds, Tackle. The Kid was '1 strong man in the line and it was very seldom a man got by him. He should be a strong man for the team next year. Fred Remmington, five feet, six inches, Half-back. Fred was one of the fast- est half-backs ever on a C. H. S. team. Fred was small but when it came to carrying the ball he put some of the large fellows in the shade. He was laid out of the game most of the season on account of a bad knee. l 4 i X AX fx N see--GfhQ1??pplQ c ff aaa att ?or Wwe Qaaa te M W Clarence Stricklan, five feet, ten inches, 145 pounds, End, Captain-elect. Strick came out a few days late but made up for the lost time by his natural ability to play football and his desire to learn. He was elected Captain for next year and we hope he will turn out the best team ever turned out from C. H. S. Ralph Florea, five feet, ten inches, 235 pounds, Guard. Fat was one of the best guards C. H. S. has ever had. It was impossible for any team to make a gain through him. They then tried to go around him but he surprised them by getting in front of the new drive and when he did the drive stopped. Wilbur Padgett, five feet, eight inches, 155 pounds, Full-back. Heavy could play any position and when we needed a full-back he took the position and filled it splendidly. He could always be depended upon to do the very best he could. Ora Huddleston, five feet, ten inches, 155 pounds, Tackle and Full-back. Chief played both tackle and full-back and was good at either position. As full-back he hit the line like a Fast Express and ran splendid interference. Leo Isaacs, five feet, seven inches, 163 pounds, Guard. Tub was our guard and center this year. He will be back next year and we expect him to use his experience in helping to turn out a good team. Ja Q XB K 1 M Hi'-1-Cflfmo Pprple ce.-:aff '1 ,,,7 7 - ff f f. ,,, We started this year with the hope of turning out the best football team ever turned out from C. H. S. and we believe we would have if the Flu had not overtaken us. The first game was with Nowata, October 6, and we went there determined to even up with them for the defeat received from them the year before. We won by the score of 6-O. It was a good game as the score shows and gave the C. H. S. team just the encouragement they needed at that time. Then came the flu and we did not play again until Thanksgiving. About a week before Thanksgiving we started practice again. Nowata came here Thanksgiving to play a return game. We went into the game with nearly a different team from that which played Nowata before. We were without Crack Graves, Del Martin and Bill Lowery. Nowata won by the score of 13-0. After our defeat by Nowata some of the boys about town thought they would have some fun from the high school team so they challenged us to a game. We then obtained the aid of Mr. Meneley for coach and he sure changed our team as the town boys soon found out when the game started. The High School team lost the ball only three times in about 25 minutes of play- ing and made six touchdowns during that time. After the sixth touchdown the Town Boys. decided they had enough and left the field. This ended the season of 1918 but we are convinced that if we could have matched another game we would have had much better team work and could have played a much better game as we were certainly helped by the coaching of Mr. Meneley. We hope he will coach the team next year for we think he can make a winning team next year. We had five sweater men this year and six letter men. The sweater men were, Ed Woolcott, Wilbur Padgett, Ralph Florea, Ora Huddleston and Melvin Wood. Our substitutes were Fred Remington, Raymond Hedrick, Carl Eagle, Edgar Mc- Coy, George Gabler and Walter Barney. Some of them will be back next year and with what experience they received this year we expect thm to turn out a good team next year. Much good coaching was gained by the team this year through the aid of Mr. Meneley who came to Forest Park each evening after his work to help us. We believe that if he had helped us before the Thansgiving game we would have won. In the Thanksgiving game Coffeyville showed the lack of proper coaching. If the good people of Coffeyville would give us a coach C. H. S. could turn out a football team that could whip any other team, from any near towns. Our football men graduating this year are Ed Woolcott, Melvin Wood, Ralph Florea, Ora Huddleston, Wilbur Padgett, Carl Eagle, Edgar McCoy, Raymond Hedrick and Fred Remington. This leaves only about three men of last year's squad on the team and if we ever needed a coach we will need it next year to make good football men out of green men. 4, . gg. Q KGrf.Q1gFPpfQ C .64 Review of C. H. S. Football. In 1915 Coffeyville had its first football team for nine years. Under the leadership of John Gorman we had a good team considering the experience the men had. Then came big Mac the following year and with green material he whipped out a fairly good team which won four games out of eight. Then came the real team which put Coffeyville on the map. We had no coach so the fellows had to do the best they could. We won six games, lost two and tied one last year. The team that Coffeyville put on the field the 6th of October, 1918, would have made any team in the state extend itself to beat us. But the Flu proved to be our conqueror and put us out for six weeks. When school started again only four of the team returned. Mr. Meneley came to our rescue and helped us out by putting some fin- ishing touches on some of C. H. S.'s green material. Post season games were some- thing to be wished for but not to be had. The rival teams would not play so we quit for the season. Watch the Coffeyville High School Football Team next year! C. H. S. Football Score for 1918. C. H. S. 6, Nowata 0. C. H. S. 0, Nowata 13. C.

Q ak qhQ Purple C i--0 x Our baseball team played only two games this year and lost both of them on account of not having had any practice as many of the baseball team were trying for the track team and could not practice baseball. Our team this year: Catcher, Melvin Wood. Cap. was one of the best catchers C. H. S. ever had. This is his third year on the team. Pitcher, Charles Graves. This is Crack's second year on the C. H. S. baseball team. Last year he played center field, but this year when we needed a pitcher Crack took the job and made one of the best high school pitchers in the Verdigris valley. Short Stop, Loren Heasom. Heasom was our second string pitcher and played short stop while he was not pitching. With him and Crack both in good condition, there never was a high school that had two such good pitchers at the same time. First Base, Robert Sticelber. Bob is a freshman this year and showed the ability to play first base like his brother Joe. Second Base, Carl Richards. Carl played second this year and last also. He is one of the fastest second basemen we have ever had. i Third Base, Gene Murray. The 'tKid is a fast man on third and also handles the hickory well. He was one of our best run-getters. Left Field, Clarence Stricklan. This was Strick's first year on the squad. He is a beginner but always begins well. Center Field, Ed Woolcott. This is English's fourth year on the squad and there never was a high school baseball player who could play the field as good as he does. Right Field, Clem Luce. Clem was a good man in right field and before he leaves C. H. S. will be a star player. We have had our inter-class baseball games already this year and the Seniors were class champions. Having won frcm the Juniors by the score of 21 to 11 and from the Freshmen by the score of 16 to 10. This, therefore, made the Seniors class champions in every branch of athletics in C. H.

Aubrey is a Sophomore this year and showed much ability as a dash man. He had to drop out of training late in the season on account of an operation. STRICKLAN. Strick is a good trainer and has the makings of a good middle distance man. This is his first year out for the team. He ran a close third in the half- mile at Dewey this year and second in the baseball throw. His records: Half-mile, 2:18g 440-yard dash, 60 seconds, baseball throw, 314 feet. NELSON. Bill was our captain this year. He was the best dash man at the Santa Fe Track Meet. He Won the 100-yard dash and also the 220-yard. He is also good at broad jumping. His time: 100-yard, 10 2-5 seconds, 220-yard, 25 seconds. GAMBLE. This was Monk's first year but he showed real ability and took second in the pole vault at the Santa Fe this year. He will be a good dash man and pole vaulter next year. His records: 440-yard, 60 seconds, pole vault, 9 feet 6 inches. EAGLE. Carl is well above the average miler. Although he did not make the team this year he pushed our milers and made them better than they would have been. If every boy in C. H. S. would train as hard as Carl does we would have no trouble in winning the Santa Fe. His record: Mile, 5 minutes 25 seconds. WOOD. This is Cap's second and last year on the team. He is' the best mile and half man Coffeyville ever had. He won first in both of these events at the Santa Fe Track Meet this year. His time: Mile, 4 minutes 56 seconds half mile, 2 minutes 6 seconds, 440-yard, 56 seconds. FLOREA. Fat is a good weight man. He did not make the team this year, but he was out to practice every night and pushed George Gabler hard. It is this kind of pushing that will make a winning track team. His records: Shot, 35 feet, disc, 84 feet. BIXBY: John came to Forest Park every evening after his work and coached the track team. It was due to his ability as a coach that we made the showing we did in the Santa Fe. The school as a whole owes John much for the work he- has done for our track team. GABLER. Gob is Coffeyville's best man in the field events this year. This is his first year and we expect great work from him next year. He won third in the shot and third in the discus at the Santa Fe this year. His records: Shot, 39 feet 1 inch, discus, 104 feet. - MCNABNEY. This is Mac's first year out for the team and he has the making of a good distance man. We expect great things of Mac next year. His t'me: Mile, 5 minutes 8 seconds.

S. held their annual interclass meet. This is one event of the year that C. H. S. looks forward to with great interest. This year the fellows took much greater interest than any previous year, about fifteen or twenty boys being out for practice every night. The school put up a silver loving cup this year for the class winning the meet and also put up a small loving cup for the man having won the most points. The big silver loving cup is to remain the property of the class winning it each year until some other class wins it from them. When the cup is won by the Senior class they will present it to the school when they leave. 1 Friday, March 28, was a bright sunshiny day and about seventy or a hundred people were at Forest Park to see C.

It was a rainy day, it having rained for two days before the meet. In the Music contest in the morning, Leslie Scoville took second in the violin con- test. Coffeyville did not have any entries in the Glee Clubs and Mixed Choruses. The Track Meet proper started at 3 o'clock that afternoon. The track was a regu- lar mud puddle. The 50-yard, 100-yard, 220-yard dashes and the 120-yard high hurdles and the 220-yard low hurdles were run in the center field. Coffeyville went to Dewey with the intention of showing them what we could do and we succeeded. We took all the running events that we entered except the 50-yard dash and the 440-yard dash. We placed in all the field events except the Broad Jump and the High Jump. Dewey won the meet with 42 points, Bartlesville took second with 33 points, while Coffeyville and Collinsville tied for third with 29 points each. Caney took 2 points. Cap Wood Won both the mile and the Half mile. Bill Nelson won the 100-yard dash and 220-yard dash. Monk Gamble took second in the pole vault and ran close to third in the 440-yard dash. Strick took second in the baseball throw. Gabler took third in the shot and third in the discus. We also won third in the relay race. Our relay team was: Stricklan, Gamble, Wood and McNabney. This will probably be Coffeyville's last year in the Santa Fe Meets as we are going to try for the Third District Meet. We are also planning on having a dual meet with Nowata at Coffeyville on Fri-, day, May 2. We expect to win this meet. We are also intending to send some men to the Inter-State Meet at Pittsburg, May 9. ve J?

Miss Brinton, Geometry teacher in C. H. S., was guardian for a few Sophomores and Freshmen. Little did these girls think that the Camp Fire would remain alive after they gradu- ated. But it still remains as wide awake and enthusiastic as it was when first organized. - This Camp Fire was at first organized merely for a good time, but in the last two years it has tried to be as patriotic as possible, work- ing at the Red Cross rooms knitting sweaters, socks and scarfs, and subscribing to the United War Work campaign, but all along with this it has had the best kind of a good time and followed the law of the Fire: . Seek Beauty Give Service Pursue Knowledge Be Trustworthy Hold on to Health Glorify Work Be Happy This law we have strived to follow through all adversities. Q Q Qi---Cfho l?ur-pie C ---0 4' - . 1 ZA .' A Cn-.5 We want to make special mention of the head of our Dramatic club, Miss Leta Maude Harper. She has shown every kindness and courtesy to us during our entire high school course. Her efforts have been even more untir- ing than usual this year. And besides her other activities she has directed and staged six plays. Her graciousness and charming personality will always remain a pleasant memory to all of us. The first play given this year was the Junior Farce entitled, The Court- ship of Miles Standish. It was a Pantomine and was staged the day before Thanksgiving. Next came the Senior's Christmas farce, The Deacon's Second Wife. It was delayed because of the flu ban for several months. Every one said this play was the best comedy ever put on in C. H. S. There was an audience of six hundred people, and many were turned away. Next came the Y. M. C. A. Minstrel, which went off fine. The home talent play for the purpose of giving the returning soldiers and sailors a club room was staged next in Tackett's theatre. It was mostly composed of high school students and directed by Miss Harper. After this came the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. joint play. It was played twice, once in C. H. S. and once in Edna high school. The Latin club play was put on a week later, this one being the first Latin play ever staged by them. ev I Q 2 .3 Mn The Seniors would feel very derilect if they would permit this year's annual to come out without at least a feeble acknowledgment of the debt of gratitude to Miss Leta Harper, There is not a student in the school but who recognizes the interest, the tireless efforts and the overwhelming respon- sibilities assumed in the student activities by Miss Harper. Her class duties are heavy. Perhaps no teacher in the school has more classes nor more pupils and in addition to taking strict care of these classes she works night and day, in season and out of season in the interests of the students. Her work with and for them is never done. Drilling plays until midnight is a part of her regular program. Running hither and thither from the close of school until the supper gong is her daily routine and what is far more it is her delight. No student ever sought her help in vain, no organization ever completed its work without a vigorous boost from this energetic and capable teacher. Turning a deaf ear to the carping jealousies of incompetent and design- ing superintendents she went forward with a song of joy and good will with the work that they could not do. Parents of Coffeyville owe her a debt of gratitude that their children alone can tell them how to pay and there is no patron of our city schools who is aware of the facts, or who is a morally normal person, who would for a moment criticise the ministrations of this teacher to the children of C. H. S. The Annual Staff, one and all, herewith present the subject of this little acknowlegdment with a bouquet of the finest La France roses as a slight token of their appreciation of her transcendent interest and efforts, not only in their behalf, but, for the interest she manifests in the school as a whole. We trust that she may return to this work for many years yet to come. Q X- sr? , r L, 'xn X x N, If i 'ifmfff X YX'-'- 'f+--........

We are going to give a play in the near future entitled, Macbeth a la Mode. We have also added a set of charts to the col- lection of the Latin department that will be highly beneficial to the Latin and MythQ10gy departments. Steps have been taken to secure some lantern slides which will greatly aid along this lin. The club will have an interesting exhibit for both students and patrons some time in May and expect to give a reception in connection with the exhibit. aaae aailgy' The assembly was organized late this year and so far have not had a debate with any other town.

W. C. A. this year now has about one hundred paid-up members. We have had a very enthusiastic group of girls-always willing to do their part whenever called upon. Y. W. meetings are held every two weeks. Different topics are discussed by the girls. One of the most interesting meetings we have had was conducted by the Fresh- men. The Freshmen girls each took a holiday and told the significance of it. We have had many good times-we had a hike to Big Hill, Freshmen reception, line party and each of the classes entertained the Y. W. Along towards the latter part of school the Y. W. sold tickets to the Jefferson theatre for the purpose of sending delegates to Hollister, Mo., where the Y. W. summer conference is held. A little later the Y. M. and Y. W. play was given. Then we had a joint KY. M. and Y. WJ party. Take it all in all, this has been one of the most successful years the Y. W. has ever known. Much credit is due to the girls themselves for they really make an organi- zation. But no small amount of credit is due to the faculty advisors who have so will- ingly aided us in everything which we have undertaken. We, the Y. W. girls of the class of '19 wish that they may have a more successful organization than we have had, and we feel that with the new cabinet to lead them that they will have a splendid organization. We think this appropriate: Good, better, best, never let it rest 'till good is better, better, best. The cabinet for next year is: President, Winifred Rushg Vice President, Lucille Giseg Secretary, Geraldine Peterson, Treasurer, Margaret Duckworth, K GfhQ Qigplc f w s X 1 ,YW Q Q QE --.:-CTR D 1 c-PM QQIPPQ 1-J?

We have tried our utmost to make it the best annual ever put out by a class of C. H. S. We hope we have succeeded, but you are the judge. The main purpose of this book is to serve as a remembrance of the pleasures and friendships of our school days. We hope that our jibes and jests will be received in the same pleasant manner that they were intended. Whatever this Annual merits is due to the hearty co-operation of all the members of the staff. Too much credit cannot be given to the faculty advisors for their willing- ness and support. - Our sincerest thanks are due the business and professional men of Coffeyville for the way they supported this Annual, as their advertisements have been a very great factor in its success. They may be sure that whenever we can boost for them we will do so. The students regretted very much the departure of Mrs. Vieregg and Mrs. Thompson because of a call to arms brought about by the armistice. Their work while' with us was much appreciated. More interest has been shown in athletics this year than for some time. Last year the boys put Coffeyville on the map, handicapped as they were without a coach. How- ever this year we have two good coaches-Bixby and Reeves. At Dewey, tho failing to bring the cup home as we had fondly hoped, we took second place in the meet. The weather was very disagreeable but we had a splendid bunch of rooters. Altho we didn't have as many rooters as some of the other towns, we made as much noise, if not more. Ample proof was given of the veracity of the old proverb, Little but Mighty. We were well represented in violin and declamation, Leslie Scoville, violinist, and Mary Masters, declaimer. We were also entered in piano, Winifred Rush, but due to a misunderstanding as to time of holding contest, we were unable to enter it. We wish to thank Hadden Brothers for the excellent photographs in this annual. They not only gave us good work but careful and prompt work. The staff certainly appreciates the quality of work given us by The Journal. We are grateful for the interest and attention shown us in the publishing of this Annual. NEED FOR H. S. AND GYM. We hope that We will soon be affiliated with a Kansas association, as we feel that we would be treated more fairly in an association of our own state. l . 1.

JK XB 1 i , i l5l'l1Q Pprple C ?Jf Suitable partners in your lien of business is rather hard to find? sez I to Joe Miller. Well yes, sez he, most men is as unreliable partners as women. I thought I had a good one once, but he turned out jest like the rest. About three years ago, says he, I was wandering around out in Arizona, trying my luck at anything that come my way, and I dropped into Bird City, which is situated on the King River, as coffee colored a river as I ever saw. I have saw it so muddy durin' the low water period, that some of those Mexicans could run across it without sinking an inch. The town is jest like the river, as full of people fer its size as the river is mud. Bird City is one of them in-betweens, being a rather small city or a large and awkward town. I wandered around awhile tryin' ter find something familiar, but the town had grown some since I seen it last which was over two years ago. I hunted up my favorite hang-out, it was so changed, I wouldn't have recognized it, if it warn't fer the name The Blue Snake , which I seen over the door. There was an immense electric sign at the top of the building and huge plate glass doors took the place of the old wooden ones. In the inside the only two things which looked familiar was a green parrot in a cage in the middle of the room and the fat faced man in his messy apron, who stood behind the counter. I went over to a table in the corner and ordered a drink. I began to think things over, and after an invoice, which I took of every imaginable pocket, I found I had exactly two hundred and sixty-one dollars and twenty-three cents. When I paid fer my purchase, the dime and three pennies which I had left, threw an uncanny feeling over me, but I shook it off and began serious contemplation as towhat I should do. I noticed a man in a shaggy brown suit and shabbier brown shoes, over in the corner. He had a clean, smooth-shaven face and he was kinda nice appearin', and he struck me as bein' a right nice sort of a fello. I went over to him and I says, 'My name's Joe Miller, what's yours and what's your trade partner? Well, says he, kinda inquirin' like and seein' I meant him no harm, My name is -Iim Connor and I've been tryin' the gold ide'er here lately, but everybody seems wise to it in this part of the centry. What's yours? I ain't been doin' nothin' here lately, says I, my trade is collectin' people's super- fluous dollars. I am in fer anything jest so I gave suckers something fer their money. Maybe only a ten-cent ring fer a twenty-fiver. Most people' thinks us swindlers or grafters as they call us, ain't got no consciences, but I've saved mine thru-out all these o O se gi-.---..Grt.Q1gu..p1Q e 5 years. I don't think people could get along without us, else they would become too care- less and neglectful. They need us to keep them awake. Don't you think so? I guess so, but the people around here seems to be awake cause I ain't been havin' no luck at all, says he kinda gloomy like and right away I began to sympathize with him for, I've been in the same boat. Well, says I, What we need is co-operation, all of us should have a union like there is in everything else. I've been looking fer a partner for a long time, what ud you say ter us startin' a corporation, Miller and Connor, sound pretty grand, doesn't it? All we needs the name, the money will take care of itself. How about it? g I suppose it's all right, but we'ed have ter start something.. What ud we do? Do, says I, there's a million and one things we can do. Fer instance I know the best recipe in the state of Arizoni fer makin' tonic. Well, what goods that, 'we'ed have ter make it, says he kinda gloomy like, I found out later, that he was a good one on throwin' the wet blanket. That's easy, says I, it don't take none of them high soundin' things you find in most medicines. The ingredients is very simple and I know you can find every one of 'em here in this burg. To tell the truth the main ingredients is-is Onions and a bit of peppermint to flavor it. Then he says real sourly, 'Where ud we make it'?' O that's easy too, says I. We'll hire us a room apiece and get in good with the landlady and she'll lend us her stove. We hunted up a rooming and boarding house, where we could room and board fer five a week if we paid in advance. I had ter plunk down ten bucks for Jim so he said didn't have a cent. At dinner I set next to the landlady and she havin' no husband took kindly to the attentions I paid her. She sorter took a likin' to me and I told her easy like, about what we was plannin' to do and she says Sure you can use my stove, I've been use to boys and I've sorter missed 'em foolin' around here lately. About one o'clock Jim and I went to look for our materials. We got everything we needed fer makin' the medicine, then Jim said he was tired, not havin' any sleep fer a number of nights and he guessed he'd go home and rest. I started out after I left him to look fer a horse and wagon to peddle our goods in. I landed a good one fer thirty-five. When I got home, Jim was still asleep. so I set down to see how much our stock had cost. I put down everything and I found I had only spent fifty-one dollars, five for materials, five for bottles, one for having labels printed, thirty-five for a horse and wagon, and five for the horse board. I had left exactly two hundred dollars and thirteen cents. Again I felt kinda funny about that thirteen cents. Scmethin' told me, it was goin' to share the same fate as me. After supper about seven o'clock, when all the dishes was done, we got started to makin' our tonic. We were going along all right, when a bunch come down from their rooms and wanted to know if the house was on fire and what that terrible odour. We told them nothin' was the matter and they trotted off to their rooms only to come Gl'l5xo'l?I1rplo C4-'JF down again and say, if that terrible smell wasn't stopped, they would leave immediately. We were rather surprised and greatly relieved when our landlady said, Well go ahead and leave, but you just leave them boys alone. They' didn't leave because they knew there wasn't no other boarding house as cheap as this one. By twelve o'clock, we had a hundred bottles of the best looking and tasting tonic you ever saw. We had it in fancy bottles with right smart labels on them. We meant to sell it at two dollars a bottle and that would make us one hundred and fifty dollars profit. Next morning I received a bomb. Jim says to me, These clothes is rather shabby fer me to go into business with, ain't they?' ' Well you know Jim, says I, Myer to be the capper, you buy some medicine and show how fine it works and brag it up and sorter coax people into buyingg you will have to have a few make-ups tho. ' But I have ter have one good suit, says he, cause if all your customers looks shabby, they'll think the tonic is jest fer poor folks and then they wont buy, cause you know people is powerful particular. That's so, says I, and I handed him over five twenties and seeing no way to divide the thirteen cents, I kept it. I told Jim to go buy a suit and several make-ups and I went about loading the bottles on the wagon. We had decided to take up our stand on the public square. As I was leaving the landlady came out and she says, 'I hope you has all kind of luck, but yer know, I heard the Martin woman, who lives on the third floor say, she hoped you wouldn't sell any, so you wouldn't have to make any more, as if she could smell it way up there. You remember you are welcome to my stove any time you want it, and if I was better off, I'd buy a bottle of your medicine, because I've been having a good many aches and pains here lately.' Feeling right generous, I gave her a bottle and after thanking me till I was tired of hearing her, she tottled into thehouse mumbling, 'O that dear boy, O they are both such dear boys, etc.' I drove up to the public square. I fixed up sort of a counter and placed a few bottles on it and I fooled around a spell so as to, give Jim time to fix up. A few men gathered around the wagon and so I began to try to sell my wares. I told 'em all about the tonic, how good it was and how the mayor of Chicago kept it in his medicine chest all the time and said he wou1dn't be without it for a million dollars, etc. I kept this up for about half an hour. I didn't sell any. I didn't expect to without a capper. After while I got kinda worried about Jim, and I began to think maybe he had gone back on me. I kept on trying to sell, I had to, but I didn't have 'no luck. I had one man nearly persuaded into buying a bottle when somebody taps me on the shoulder. I looks around and there was a big policeman. I reached in my pocket, but he says, 'Don't try none of that, it won't go with this guy.' When he spoke I recog- nized something vaguely familiar in his looks and voice. I tried to think where I had gf or ix--1-' Gfho Pprplo C --W seen him, for I knew I had run up against him some place in my career. If so, I hoped he wouldn't recognize me. I aint heard of no street licenses being issued around here, lately, but if you got one, be quick and show it, as I haint got no time to waste, says he gruffly. I told him somethin' about havin' forgot to git one and how I'd be mighty grateful if he'd over- look it and I'd reward him liberally for his graciousness. He said, 'I told you none of that would do with this guy and I meant it, pack up yer duds and I'll show you the way ter yer future home.' I was hoping Jim ud show up and help save me but he didn't. A crowd had gathered and how I yearned to demonstrate my tonic to them. But the policeman seeming not to like crowds, told them to clear out quick. I heard one kid say, 'That must be the new policeman they gotg I don't like him as well as Pat, do you Tommy?' I didn't hear Tommy answer for the policeman told me if I didn't hurry he'd try one of the bottles on my head. I packed the few bottles I had out into the wagon, and he climbed up on the seat beside me and took up the reins and off we started towards the police station, or as he called it, my future home. While we was drivin' along I tried to think where I had seen that fello before. What puzzled me most was his big shiny black whiskers. I couldn't remember of ever seeing their like before, When we got about two blocks, he stopped quite to my surprise and said, 'I've taken quite a likin' to you and if you give me say a hundred dollars or so, I'll tell 'em you got away, but I got your goods. ' I handed him my roll and got down from the wagon in sort of a daze. I took out the thirteen cents and looked at them and if it warn't for them I couldn't have believed Bird City had taken from me two hundred and sixty-one dollars and ten cents and left me with the uncanny sum of thirteen cents. If you are ever dead broke, it's bad enough, but when your worldly possessions consists of thirteen cents, it's worse. It's the most witchiest, uneasyist and bewildering feeling, one could ever have. Without realizing I headed fer our rooms, in search of Jim to tell him of my luck. I managed to slip in unseen but Jim wasn't there, so I slipped out again and headed for town. I was standing on the corner and I heard some one hollerin'. I turned to see and hear. All I could see was a mob of people gathered around something. When I got closer I heard some one cryin' his wares and he was sayin', 'That fellow was cheating you, here's the very same stuff for one fifty and he was sellin' it for two.' When I got closer to see what was going on, people was buying stuff in bottles faster un hot cakes. I got where I could see the seller and then my mind which had been in sort of a fog and was kinda hazy, was as clear as daylight. That vaguely familiar policeman was Jim with a bunch of whiskers pasted on his face. -MARY MARGARET WELSH. 4 Y fX iii-1-N '-'cllhlfmo lgflrplo C Miss Ulrich-Why do the Germans spell culture with a K?
