. , ,W Senior Class Historu lt was June of the year 5026. The sun was slowly drifting down behind the great bank of saffron-colored. clouds. Cool evening breezes springing up brought relief to the lit- tle band of archaeologists, who all day in the torrid heat reflected by the masses of shift- ing sand covering this little-known waste of country, the seat of the ancient American civilization, amid choking, burning dust, had toiled unceasingly at this little mound. Shortly before the arrival of night, the fol- lowing record, enclosed within a metal cylin- der, was found: It often happens in the history of a school that one class will be especially noteworthy. So it has been with this-the class of 1926. Whatever has been undertaken has been suc- cessful. In scholarship, in athletics, in foren- sic activitiesgin all of these the class has Miss Devore Watt, Sponsor excelled. As Freshmen we were separated in two groups, one at Junior High and one at Senior High. Both groups were noted for their pep, and their loyal, enthusiastic sup- port given to all school activities. The Junior High basket-ball team, mad-e up en- tirely of ninth grade boys, established a great record by winning for the first time in history the inter-class tournament in competition with the Senior High and Junior College class teams. Combining in our Sophomore year, we formed the largest class in school. Roy Randolph was elected president, and, under the capable leadership of Miss Pratt, the class party was especially enjoyable, and we excelled all in ticket selling ability. The debating clubs took many of their most capable members from our class, two of these making the school debate team. Four men in football and one in basketball won let- ters. The Ju-nior year was a brilliant one. Frank Reeds was president, and Mrs. Par- ham was sponsor during the first semester. Upon. her departure at the mid-term, Miss McLean took charge, and she was responsible for the successful management of the big events of the year. Every school activity looked to the Juniors for its main sup- port. Never before had so many Juniors woln so many places on the school teams. Five members of the -class represented the school in debate. The constitutional ora- tor was a Junior. Seven Juniors received football letters, five made their letters in basketball. VVilliam Phillips was football captain. Ralph Ober was basketball cap- tain. We were also well represented in track, and the basketball tournament was won for the second time by the class team. At the beginning of the year, Warren Wate1's was elected school cheer leader. The class play, Booth Tarkington's Seventeen, set- ting a new standard in high school dramatics was very successful, being presented to capacity houses for two nights and then to a special matinee. The Ju-nior-Senior re- ception emphasizing the Oriental theme, was the most elaborate social affair ever given by a Fort Scott class. As Seniors we have maintained if not surpassed this remarkable record. The first class meeting of the year selected Walter Varvel as president, and to Virginia Gross, Elizabeth Newby, and Ozell Trask were given the respective offices of vice- president, secretary and treasurer. Once more the basketball tournament was won by our team although many players had won their letters and consequently were ineli- gible. Again the football and basketball teams were composed almost wholly of Seni- ors, eleven in football and six in basketball winning letters. Chapman was captain of football, Phillips led the basketball squad, while Warren Waters headed the track team. Three of the six debaters were Seniors as were also the school declaimer and the two orators. The glee clubs and- orchestra contained many Seniors. Miss DeVore Watt showed exceptional ability as class sponsor. At our Christ- mas party, we proved that we still believe in Santa Claus. Every class contest of the year was won by the Seniors, and we succeeded in electing our candidates King and Queen of the Annual. With the presentation of the class play, The Goose Hangs High, and with the publication of the Crimson, in which our achievements are re- corded, our school career was brought to a fitting climax. -'YVALTER A.
