N .'r 3 X D Foreword Of life and death it is not ours to sing, VVe cannot ease the burden of youth 's fears Or make the coming strife a little thing, VVe bring again the pleasure of past years, And by our care-free words, beguile your tears- To live again the days that we portray, The happy singers of a by-gone day. The nightly study, the bewildering care That weighs us down, who burn the midnight oil, These idle verses have no power to bear, So let us write of names well known to all, i For names, in after years, these days recall, And bring the memory back, from far away To us light singers of a by-gone day. Remember us a little then, We pray, The happy singers of a by-gone day.

May you keep unstained the record That you Wrote so proudly, when Your feet were on the pathway To the beckoning world of men. May you conquer fabled Fortune And give unto mankind The precious fruits of faithful toil- The labors of your mind. May you ever face the dawning Of another pregnant year With Wo1'k well done your motto, And your rally call Good cheer.

Page 4 1559 WICHITAN 1915 The Clan of Purple and Gold HE clan of Purple and Gold, the most powerful in VVichita High School, rose upon the ruins of the clan of Green and White, and their whole policy for ages, says a writer, was to surpass and outdo that race. The Wichita High School was for four years inhabited by this great clan, 'whose duty it was to rally around Ritten- our, as their chief was designated. Many members of the tribe were valorous and titled athletes, who were ever ready to assist the Blue and XVhite in their struggles on gridiron, diamond, or track. The first of the clan of Purple and Gold of whom there is any distinct trace is Frank Copeland, said to be the famous knight who slew the monster, Freshman Latin, after three valorous assaults. VVhen this horde of 1915 laid siege to the stronghold of learning, he was already a seasoned leader in their war cries. In their second year in the land, Lawrence Lewis rose to the honor of chief of clan. 'Under his leadership the clan members made themselves felt in baseball, foot- ball, basketball, track. and debating, while the Amazonian basketball team won the trophy cup from all comers. The next period of clan history is marked by the rule of Baird. During his re- gime the football team was captained by a clan member, and other members were prominent on every athletic and debating team. The musical tendency of the clan was manifested by the fact that clan members held a majority of the places on the Wichita 'High School Glee Club, and furnished a eoterie of bagpipers for the school band. Under Rittenour the clan rose to its highest power and supremacy. So great was their prowess that practically nowhere were their demands opposed or their man- dates questioned. In every branch of warlike activity the clan members ruled su- preme, and while their warriors were winning laurels on many foreign fields there was no dearth of young men tilling the fields of knowledge or developing prowess as statesmen. In a terrific struggle on the field of Forum, in which the whole strength of the clan was hurled against the forces of Father Time, the powerful organization was broken and scattered. But so sturdy was their race, and so vigorous their training, that their presence has been felt in every quarter of the globe, and many of the strong leaders in every land account for their success in every field of endeavor by the fact that they may trace their lineage direct to the Clan of Purple and Gold.

It is the largest junior class in the history of VViehita High School, and has been very enthusiastic in supporting school work and activities. VVe believe that a student who never took an interest in anything given by the school, who never went out of his way to boost an athletic team or any other organization, would be as useless an addition to the world as he would be to our school. In order to develop these booster qualities, we juniors have made it our business to give loyal support on every possible occasion. VVe are proud of the members of our class who have dis- tinguished themselves in athletics. Three junior boys were on the first basket ball team, and six junior girls on the girls' first team. Last year one of our classmates, Bryan Elem, was football captain and we have good reason to be proud of his work. Many juniors, not especially interested in athletics, have taken up other activities. Five are members of the orchestra, nine play in the band. However, we do not be- lieve in neglecting our lessons in order to carry on outside affairs. The primary ob'- ject of going to school is knowledge and mental training, not football or clubs. These things are pleasant and helpful, but they are merely side lines. VVe juniors are try- ing to realize these ideals, and are endeavoring to make our class represent the best, and to make ourselves more capable and efficient. 1121115 we WICHITAN '95 4 HB UC' WICHITAN 1915 Sophornores Ofhcers HAROLD YUNGMEYER ......... ........

The sophomores, without exception and without exaggeration, have enjoyed this tribute. VVe have been drifting along for two years unnoticed by our superior pa- tricians. Our praises have not been sung by poets or mentioned in school papers. But the reward always comes to those who patiently wait, and now we have our chance to show what we have done during these years of isolation. In athletics we have contributed some of the very best material used on the high school teams. Harold Yungmeyer, captain of the first basket ball team, is one of our class, as are a number of VVichita High School's star football players. It is not only our boys who rank well in athletiesg the girls, also, have won distinction. The first and second basket ball teams. claim several good players from our class. Perhaps no class is so diversified in accomplishments. Like the Greeks in many things, we have boys and girls that show great forensic ability. Speeches that showed real talent were delivered in assembly. We can ably bold our own in de- bate, as was shown by the fact that we were represented in the debating team. Our high school course is only half finished. Vtle still have two years in which to do greater deeds-deeds that will put us at the head of all graduating classes. Then it will not be said that we have spent our four years for nothing, but that we have left 'tfootprints in the sands of time which others, with persistence and energy, may follow and thus make of Wichita High School a school without an equal. , Hb 15.

However, they have elected the officers allowed theinfff representatives in the students' council. and two yell masters!-and have entered into athletics ambitionsly. They won one basket ball game in the interclass series. and have the material for a strong' team next year. One freshman attained the football team and one the second basket ball team. The class also claims a girl who received a XV for basket hall Work, The freshmen enthusiastically entered whatever school activities they were atl- lowed to participate in. They presented the Foxy Freshie's Funnies in the La- dies' Home Journal entertainment with almost professional excellence. Being the largest class in the school, they had the most representatives in the pageant. They excelled in the oral themes that were given in assembly and also in the oral theme contest. The class of 1918 has advanced beyond the classes heretofore in that they have one permanent organization, the Historia Club.

They have offered music of high order, and tl1e training of preceding years has given the school ability to appreciate the worth of the work done. The orchestra has enjoyed an especially pleasant year and has played upon many occasions, among them the meetings of the Teachers' Association, Br0wn's in Town, and The High School Pageant. Our band has been reorganized, much to the pleasure of the students, and has again taken up the work of playing for our en- tertainments, The Clee Clubs have enjoyed their work, and each appearance has been a success-especially the program given in the assembly. The choruses have been made more interesting than ever, and all who have been taking the work are pleased with it. The students have appreciated the splendid talent displayed in the assemblies when members of the school have played and sung for us. Some of the work was re- markable, and the school is to be congratulated upon having such students enrolled, It has been the custom for the members of Chorus A to give during the year a can- tata. This year they gave The Rose Maiden, and it was enjoyed more than any of the previous cantatas. The soloists were students of the high school. Wichita High School was represented in the musical contest held in Emporia on April 30 by a mixed chorus of twenty-four voices, a Boys' Glee Club of twelve, a Girls' Glee Club of twelve, and two soloists. The high schools of Kansas were repre- sented there to compete for the following prizes: Mixed Chorus .......... .- ....... .. ..... -- SB100 Boys' Glee Club ..... -- S50 Girls' Glee Club ............... .. ..... ..............l....

Wichita is justly proud of the work done by the representatives: The one to whom the credit is due for the high standard of our school in the musical field is Miss Jessie L. Clark, and the Wichitan takes this opportunity of thanking her, in an inadequate way, for the good she has done for the senior class particularly, and for 'the entire school.

Subjects were chosen which are of vital importance to every boy, the aim being to imbue in the mind of each individual that elean sport, clean speech, and clean living' are absolutely essential to become a real man. Vocational talks were given by Judge Vllilson. llr. Priest, and Dr, Little, who represented their several professions. The club was not a theological seminary. nor were its members a group of Hmol- lyeoddlesfl but each boy was serious, and realized that there is something connected with life which is not to be found in classrooms or in books. but within himself, and that his conduct in early years will determine whether his lite shall be for good or for evil. One of the most interesting events of the year was the Older Boys' Conference, The club took active part in making this conference of over fourteen hundred young men one to be long remembered by those who attended. The conference gave added impetus to the work of the club through the increased interest which was aroused by having in our city this meeting together of the boys of Kansas who stand for the highest of life's ideals.

The seniors are reorganizing the Junior Dramatic Club and have taken unto themselves a new name-Thalian Club. 'Again we hear shouting and laughter,and we learn that The Schoolville Chron- icle, a one act farce with a typical newspaper office setting, was written by a com- mittee appointed by the club, and was designed for the special purpose of Hbawling out some of the students and lengthening the Assembly time. Next, these Thalians initiated a number of juniors into the club and produced a few scenes from 'tDaddy Long Legs to amuse them. But they have done much that has not been generally proclaimed. They met fre- quently and discussed plays, dramatists, and actors, and debated the value of moving pictures. Witt: the record of the seniors to inspire them, the juniors will continue the work of The Thalian Club next year.

Page 62 A Us WICHITAN 1915 The members of the club gained much instruction during the year from ad- dresses given by a number of VVichita's business men. About thirty members at- tended the meetings regularly and took an active part in the debating work, The training gained from these meetings proved of great benefit to the debat- ing team, as well as to those who took part in the discussions. Sixteen members of the club entered the preliminary debate, and it was no easy matter for the judges to choose the winning team. The Camera lub ANDREW BAIRD ..............................

The members have tried to ac- quire all knowledge possible in this art. and they have greatly aided each other by their personal experiences. Magazines were subscribed for, and books were studied under the direction of the facility adviser. Mr. Hartsough of the Physics department, gave some very interesting demon- strations in colored photography, which has lately been developed by Burbank. A machine was constructed by the members for enlarging pictures. This machine is de- clared by all camera students to be the finest of its kind. The club has issued a challenge to any unbeliever in this wonderful machine, and declares that it will make the most bewitching dimple of any lovely maiden look like a yawning chasm. The Camera Club would not have you think that it was organized for work alone, The members, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. llartsough, spent a day at Sulli- van's Dam and a number of 'tinteresting pictures were taken.

Doesn't that bell mean anything to you? S39 Behind the counter a pleasant faced woman was hammering a. typewriter. She was intent upon her work, her head bent down toward the machine, so that her dark hair almost touched it.

The seniors who represented their class in the play deserve much credit for the clever interpretation of their respective roles. Dick Preston, a young college man, had been secretly married to Lctty, his col- lege sweetheart. The marriage was secret because Dick's father was bitterly op- posed to matrimony. To avoid being discovered, Dick and Letty were using the name Brown, and were living in a pretty little cottage out from town. Two of their college friends stopped to rest in the attractive garden of the Brown home , and at once recognized their schoolmates. Dick 's father found out where Dick was, and unexpectedly paid a visit to his son. Many plans were made to get Mr, Preston, sen- ior, to leave, but they all failed. Many Mr. Browns were originated, with such trying predicaments resulting that Primrose, the colored cook, refused to work for that kind of a family , as she valued her reputation far too highly. VVhen Dick's father learned of the marriage, his wrath was great, but as Iletty had previously gained favor in his eyes, the young people were soon forgiven. Marion McHugh, business manager, and his efficient group of assistants did much to make the play a great financial success. The class greatly appreciated the work of Mr. Barnett, who directed the play. . Between acts, girls in pretty Dutch costumes sold candy. During intermissions, the audience was also entertained with aesthetic dances by Pauline Wallensteili, and with songs by Lawrence Lewis. THE CAST Letty ......... ...............

We know that they made a creditable showing for our school and We are proud to claim that there was much victory in their defeat. The question for the triangular debate Was: Resolved, That appropriate mini- mum wage legislation bc enacted by the United States. The Wichita team composed of Earl Morgan, Bryan Michener, Victor Rogers, and Shelby Woods, upheldpthe affirmative side of this question in VVichita on the night of March 25. Wichita lost this contest by one vote, On the same evening Anna Marie Stewart, Wychoff Keach,Burton Rodman, and Karl Donovan upheld the negative of the same question at Vlfellington against Suni- ner County High School. We lost by a unanimous decision. Both 'debates were closely contested, and the question was argued upon funda- mental principles by both Wichita teams.

Pageant of Wichita, whieh we students of Wir-liitan High School presented in the Forum on April 23-24, was the biggest thing' we ever attempted. VVen1adea success of it, however, hoth financially and histrionieally. All praise is due to those who took part hoth in the preparation and in the staging of tl1e Pageant, and we he- lieve that we are entitled to some little seif applause on the ereditahle way in which we gave it. The history of Wiceliitzl falls naturally into three divisions-the Indian life he- fore the founding of the city, the early times during the eattle trading period, and the later development of the city to its present prorninenee. In suhject matter, the episodes of the Pageant followed these three divisions. The first episode represented Indian life and grave a prophesy of the future through the dream of an Indian chief, who saw the eity that was to eonie. lioeal happenings during the eattlc trading.: period and their effect upo11 the destiny of Viliehita were portrayed in the second episode. The eowhoys, the eitizens, the marshals. and the hold had men of those days were in evidence, and their manners and their doings were well enacted. The Peerless Prin- -cess of tomorrow, the great metropolis of the Southwest, was prophesied in the third 'episode by a parade of floats. The general theme of the Pageant, the advaneenient of NViehita, was carried out, in a striking' nianner with allegorieal danees given by the girls in the interlude after -each episode. This theme was brought to its elimax at the end of the third episode in the march of the Peerless Prineess to her throne, during whieh she forever han- ished the various eivie diffieulties-vfsymbolized in dances.

It was a masquerade, you know, and that broke up all formality. There were all kinds of the eleverest eos- llIIIIOS---g.!'G0d-l0Olil11Q', funny. and otherwise. VVe felt spooky the instant we entered the building, for it was all decorated with witches, blaek eats, owls. and goblins. The eolors of the elasses were also used. First we went through the Chamber of dllorrors, which was exaetly as it sounds. lt was a piteh blaek passage, over obstacles, then under, and then around. Next a vaudeville progrrani was given in the auditorium. The program included a shadow- grraph. a dancing' aet, The Grand Army of Afrieaf' and another singing and dancing' aet. All were very good, and far surpassed the Prineess, although. no doubt. some would prefer the latter, Last, but not least. were the eats, whieh were good as usual and that is enough said. lf that horrid doctor had known what you were missing, he would never have had the heart to keep you away. t'Oodles of luek and love, -Betty. ' Page T2 H5 119 Senior-Junior Party The best comes last, is true of the Senior-Junior party which was given on .April 10. This was the last party given by the seniors, and it kept up their reputa- tion of having the best parties given in high school. Many juniors and seniors who 'sat in the cozy corners or in the middle part of the auditorium declared the party by far the most shocking lone. As the guests entered, they were given cards with small pencils attached to them, and were told to get as many names on them as possible. This broke up all formality. The entertainment, which was given in the auditorium, was varied and fclever. Several people in the audience were surprised when Buddy Lewis, minister of the colored Shoofly Church, called out impressively, All who believes in dat text, rise. They began to feel little thrills and tingles, they felt forced to rise although 'they did not believe the text. They merely jumped and wiggled in their seats, how- -ever, until the feeling had passed away. The main corridor was decorated with streamers and lattice work of red and white in honor of the juniors. Cozy corners were at each end. Streamers of purple :and gold hung from the ceiling of the auditorium to the railing of the balcony. 'Gold and white, one color from those of each of the two classes, were used in the lunch room, which was lighted by candles in glass candlesticks. As a junior girl was leaving the building, she expressed the feeling of nearly -everyone when she said, Well, this has been the most sociable class party that I have ever been to. T Sophomore Class Party The Sophomore class gave 0116 of the best parties of the year on the evening of .QMay Day. Much hard work and originality was required of the committees, but our success was ample reward. Most effective decorations were arranged by using class colors, blue and gold, in combination with spring flowers and foliage. Tennis nets, woven with greenery, made a spring bower of the upper corridor. The decorations in the dining room were a triumph for the committee. We have Mr. Allen's assur- .ance that they were the best ever produced here. The entertainment, a varied pro- gram in the assembly, was one of the big features of the evening, the solos and picciacotta dance being especially enjoyed. The refreshments of pimento cheese sandwiches, pineapple salad, and strawberry ice were one of the greatest pleasures of the party. Altogether, we had a most enjoy- able evening, and we feel that the party was one of the best given in YVichita High ZSchool. Page 73 Us ICI-IITXXN f9f5 Oklahoma Party for Football Boys 4'I?m mighty glad to meet you, said he. No doubt. We'yfe been introduced just four times before during the even- ing, she replied. He laughed with apparent good nature-but inwardly he swore. That was the fifth such :mistake he had made thus far, he reflected. In spite of this and of his gen- eral dislike for parties, he was, however, having a good time. Two girls were com- ing toward him. VVith a sigh of relief he saw that he knew them, for they were Frances and Ruby Boydston, who were giving the party for the VVichit a High School football team while it was in Oklahoma City. 4'We're going to dance. Won 't you have this first one with me? asked Ruby, with an inviting smile. HDance! His knees shook. His hostess had asked him to dance! What should he do? - I'm mighty sorry, but I have a stiff kneef' he lied glibly. '4Oh, that's a shame. Illl give you this for consolation,H she said sympathet- ieally, holding out a red earnation, which matched the decorations in the rooms. I surely need it, for I certainly love to dance. If he was going to tell a lie, it might as well be a big one. After congratulating himself on his narrow escape, however, he decided to profit by experience. When the other boys returned to the hotel two hours later, they found him sleep- ing soundly, as if he had been there for sometime. Party For Football Team The first party given by the senior class this year was in honor of the Wichita and Enid football teams. The first part of the evening was spent in the gymnasium, which was very prettily decorated for the occasion. Games were played and prizes were won by Miss Crawford, Iva Shumard, Mr. Hamilton, and Everett VVilmoth. After the games all went to the cafeteria, which was decorated in the senior class colors, black and red.

Barnes, issued a call for recruits. The total response for the season was about seventy-five men, and it was found to be a difficult job to select a team of eleven men with only two 'AVVN men back in the line up. Since we take this fact into consideration, it is the opinion of the student body that the football season was a success. Because of the large football squad. it was necessary to choose an assistant for Coach Barnes. F. II. Loomis, a former t'Aggie captain, was secured and his services were greatly appreciated by the men. Coaches Barnes and Loomis deserve much credit for their work they had a very difficult task on their hands. The first game of the season was easily won from the Fairmount seconds by a score of 14 to 0. On October 10, the Wellington aggregation fell easy victims to the White and Blue, the score being 26 to 0. The game was played at Is- land Park. The following week Wichita High School romped on Kingman by the same score that was made in the previous game. Elam made three touch-downs and Grandy kicked two goals. A October 10 was an off day in Wichita's camp and Hutchinson took home the long end of a 7 to 3 score. Baird at center was effective at all times, but team work was lacking. Wichita lost at Marion, 6 to 0, although it is reported that our team outclassed its opponents. Both halves ended with Wichita High School near the goal. The last home game was played with Arkansas City, November 7, at Island Park. As the field was muddy, making it impossible for either team to play to any advantage, the game ended a scoreless tie. Preliminary to this game and before the big rain, the Wichita seconds handed a 26 to 0 defeat to the Hutchinson seconds. Although far outweighed, our men held Oklahoma City High School for three quarters, but weakened in the latter part of the game, Oklahoma City IIigh School winning 45 to 6. Our score was made by Elam, who intercepted a forward pass and and ran 90 yards for a touch-down. At Enid, Mcflarraugh was missing and Baird was handicapped by vaccination. Team work was not at its best and Enid won, 20 to 6. In this game Elam repeated his performance of the previous week. The trip to Pratt was one of the most enjoyable journeys the team had during the season. The game was a tosseup until the third quarter, when Youngmeyer inter- cepted a forward pass and ran 98 yards for a touch down. After the game the VVich- ita team was entertained at a banquet given by the business men of the town.

Q Basket Ball Wichita High School wins the state basket ball charn- pionship. VVhen the Wichita five won the tournament held by the Kansas High School Association at Emporia on March 19-20, they earned the title of state champions and also closed the most successful basket ball season in the history of the school. The race throughout the entire season in the Arkansas Valley Basket Ball League Was perhaps the most interesting and eventful one since that league Was or- ganized. Wichita lead the league for a While, but several costly defeats came near the end of the season causing the team to finish in third place. From a total of twenty-two games played Coach Barnes' boys won sixteen. ln addition to the regular 'tXY's, the players were given sweaters as an added reward for their Work. The personelle of the team was as f o l l o W si: Harold Young- meyer, '17, captain, Russel MeVicar, '16, Andrew Baird, '15, Don Meeker, '16, Bruce Meeker, '17 5 Frank Copeland, '15, Zanoni Freeman, '15, and Marvin Harms, '16, A11- drew Baird is the only regular of the team who graduates, this fact assures a good team next year. Youngnieyer and Don Meeker were given positions on all thc all- state team. The second team gave the regular aggregation many hard games and served to keep the first team in good trim. Those Who comprised the Scrubs Were: E. Bradt, captain, Mclntire, Sage, Cale, Fuller, and Healea. Interclass Basket Ball The seniors won the interclass series. All the games were hard fought and it was necessary for the seniors to play off a tie with the juniors. Those who played on the senior team were: Fliekinger, Blake, Parker, E.

A tournament was held in the fall shortly after school began. All of the girls were enthusiastic about it. and twelve entered. Both the preliminary games and the finals were close and ex- citing. The final game was between Ruth Cross and Betty Mc- Causland, and the work of both players was admirable. Ruth Cross of the class of 1917 won the final game by a score of 3-6, 6-1, 6-O. I Interest in tennis has increased so rapidly that another tournament will undoubtedly be held next year. Interclass Basket Ball Interclass basket ball was more interesting this year than usual because the teams were more evenly matched than here- tofore. But the senior team was strong enough to overcome the good qualities of the other teams, and they finished the sea- The class of 1915 won the interclass championship in their sophomore year also.

And the glint of the hard-won trophies ln the SunliQht'S dying grlezun, Seemed as far from the winner's presence, As the uooday from the dream. For without the merry voices, The bustle, and the hum, Groups on the wall are lll0?lIllllQ'll5SS And corridors are dumb. Oh, in vain hath the sculptor laboredg ln vain hath the builder toiledg In vain hath silver been fashionedg Anil the galleries of Art despoiled. Xot in stone nor priceless metal, Not in wood nor cast of clay, But in Youth's own preeious being Doth the charm of sehool life lay. 6 I5 ICQI5 L. P.

We are con- tent, however, to leave that to the judg- ment of the reader. We have been disappointed in some of our hopes for the book. : Indeed, we have several times felt that we were mak- ing a failure of it. We are glad that the book is done and that we do not have to worry about it any longer. We hope that we have provided something of which the class of 1915 may be justly proud-some- thing that will serve as a memoir of the class. We wish to thank all those who have helped us by contributing literary mate- rial, pictures, and time. Above all we wish to thank our faculty advisers. 6 1191 5, 1915 Page 121 4 l Alf ji I ,. ,:. . . ., ga L - : '. -W'-:Q-Q - ,.
