IlIllllIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIlllIllllIlllIllllIllllllllllllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIllllIllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIllllIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Senior Class Song 1919 ESTHER CAROTHERS . Tune, Smiles Best class you've seen here Is the nineteen nineteen year. Always ready, ever steady, Helps both far and near. For she gave her boys In the battles' awful noise. Some boys died there, others tried there To preserve our joys. Now we say, Good-bye To our school the Wich'ta High, Where we've worked some, and we ve shlrl-ted some Four years swiftly fly. Teachers, one and all, We will miss your beck and call, For you've sought us and you've taught us Things both great and small. Friendships true with cheer From all of our classmates dear Keep joy starting, as we're parting From our High School here. Sweet words have been said In our hearts they'll ne'er he dead. Never broken now they're spoken So we have no dread. CHORUS-Tune, Long, Long Trail lt's a happy time We've had here And now has come time to part. But each one is taking with him True and loyal heart. To our High School we'll be loyal All of our life-journey through, And we'll always hail with eagerness The dear old White and Blue.

any mffhffan ulnuunlmlmunlmunlmlununumuumummlnlu service of some kind. The boys who did not return because of the war numbered about twenty-Hve. Some of them made enviable records in France, but the ser- vices of the most of them were confined to this country. Few classes in any Kansas high school have as good records in this respect as the 1919 class of W. H. S. Early in the year the class held a meeting and elected: Virgil Cunliffe, presi- dentg Pauline Welwood, vice-presidentg Ruth Schollenberger, secretary, Max Buckingham, treasurer, William Holleicke, sergeant-at-armsg Howard McCune, yell-leaderg and Margaret Wilbur, class reporter. Later in the year Esther Carothers was chosen class poet. Work had just started in earnest when the in- fluenza epidemic became so serious that it was necessary for the schools to close for about four weeks. This was a great hindrance to the work of all the classes. At the end of the four weeks, the situation being somewhat improved, school began again with half-day sessions. This continued for two weeks, and then the influenza situation was so improved that school work was again resumed on the regular schedule. The first junior-senior party which had been scheduled to take place in October had to be postponed four different times on account of the quaren- tine. Because of the postponement it was decided that only two parties would be held instead ofthe customary three. The first one was held in February with the seniors acting as hosts. The second party with the juniors as hosts took place later in the year and was indeed a very pleasing and interesting affair. A committee was appointed to select a play for the class to present. After a great deal of consideration the play, Mice and Men, by Madeleine Ryley was selected. The work on the play was begun late in the first semester and Mr. Gossett, who coached the play the previous year, was again secured as the director. Almost all seniors who were eligible came to the tryouts and were very enthusiastic and eager to see who would be selected for the main cast. After a great deal of consultation and a week of tryouts, the final east was selected. Real work began almost immediately, and after about two months of rehearsing, the play was ready to present. The three performances were given on Monday and Tuesday, March 3 and 4. School was dismissed early on Tuedsay afternoon to accommodate those who wished to attend the matinee. Every performance was attended by large crowds, much to the satisfaction of the whole senior class. All who saw any performance of the play proclaimed it a decided success. The play was also a success Hnancially, as more than 15700 was cleared. This was almost 3100 more than the prohts on the play the year before. The seniors were exceedingly well represented in every form of athletics. It was seniors who formed the backbone of both the football and basket-ball teams, and two seniors were named on the all-state team. Also the seniors were well represented in track and baseball. Four members of the senior class were on the debating team which so ably represented the school in the debating contests. As is the custom the school publications were edited by a senior English class. The annual, as usual, was published by the seniors. Although the class this year worked against many difficulties, due to the unsettled conditions of everything, when all wassummed up it is found that the class ot 1919 has always been one of the foremost classes in the school. The fact that the number left to be graduated was considerably smaller than it has been for several years, is accounted for by the fact that so many of the boys were called in the service. Every member of the senior class realizes that it would have been impossible to spend more profitably the four years spent in W. H. S.,and, as a whole, the class wishes to be remembered for its service, knowledge and chivalry.
