History CHASfDEHHETTIXTHEREPOBTER The passing of the Montgomery County High School will not be with- out regrets. This will be especially true among the hundreds of bright young men and women who have gone out from its portals equipped for life's duties, and who are today filling places of trust and usefulness. They will always recall how their first impulses to achieve were awak- ened and quickened there and the impetus was given to their ambitions to develop their talents. To each of them this school and all that it was to them stands out as one of the brightest memories in their youthful beginnings. It will, however, be some satisfaction to them to know that only the name will pass away, and that the institution will be retained with its influence for good augmented rather than curtailed. When the history of this school is written, what a monument it will be to Professor' S. M. Nees, who was its ,first principal and who has ever since been retained in that position without opposition or even an expres- sion of a desire for a change. The system of taxation by which the school was supported has been severely criticised and warmly defended, but the work of the school has met with an approval far more universal than that given to any other institution in the county. This is due to the unselfish, untiring and capable direction given to its growth and develop- ment by Mr. Nees. It is an achievement seldom equaled and never excelled. His position was not an easy one. The pathway of that school has not been strewn with flowers. Always a subject of attack from the taxation standpoint, around it have played political controversies, sec- tional animosities and all the bitterness that creeps out of the petty jealousies of ambitious cities in a rapidly developing county. Through it all Mr. Nees has stood at the head of the school, making it a stronger and better school each year, and always extending its sphere of useful- ness. It is an accomplishment that must now be of great satisfaction to him. He has performed a service to his community and to the young manhood and womanhood of this county that is invaluable. Best of all, it is a service that is appreciated by his fellow citizens. It has not been the fortune of many men .who have devoted the best years of their lives to a great public service to receive the plaudits and approval of their fellow men to a greater degree than will Mr. Nees. Due credit also should be given to the members of the Board of Trustees and the Faculty for the splendid and efficient service which they have rendered to the school and community. Members of the Board have been elected who were not in sympathy with the law creating the school but all have done their part toward making it one of the best high schools in the state. At all times the Board has stood for progress and has been willing and ready to provide the equipment and supplies which the institution needed. The Faculty has always been composed of the Seven M. C. I Orange cmd Black . l1921lV S. l i 1 . 4 M. C. H. b. U ?i gOrcrnge and Black N very best teachers that could be secured. The departmental plan is fol- lowed and each teacher is a specialist in the work assigned. To the high character of the instruction and the tlne influence of the Faculty much of the honor for the school's standing both at home and abroad should be given. Now that the school controversy has been amicably settled it will not be amiss to refer to the great value of the school. The influence it has exerted in educational matters cannot bc estimated .ii ngue-cs or out- lined in words. All that it has cost is but a small sum when you consider the rich dividends it has returned and will continue to return for years to come in character building and the development of useful and sturdy citizenship, nor the potent influence it has exerted in raising the stand- ards of all the schools of this county, including the rural schools and sev- eral city high schools outside of the county seat. The most persistent high school lzickerl' .must now admit that this school has set the pace for education in this county, and in the effort to equal it or exceed it all schools have been made better and stronger. . The law creating the school was passed when Hon. H. W. Young, one of the ablest editorial 'writers in the state, represented this county in the state senate, and Hon. I. B. Fulton, from northeast of the city, represented this district in the house of representatives. When the bill was introduced, Mr. Young' announced the fact through his paper and called for an expression from the people as to its desirability. He was flooded with letters. Among all the letters received there was only one protest and it was of a very mild nature. Under such circumstances the representatives naturally thought the people were in favor of the school. Personally, Mr. Young believed the ,school was a splenedid thing and always consistently defended it. But while the deemed this a political error, he Was satisfied the error was on the side of right and he was proud of the county high school. Mr. Fulton returned from Topeka to ind his neighbors, closest friends and former ardent supporters lined up in bitter opposition to him. He was a good man and a good citizen and 'the fact that he assisted in giving the educational advantages of this county a big boost will not stand as a mark aainst his good name even in the mem- ories of those who most severely condemned him at the time. The influence of the school has constantly widened and opposition to it long ago almost disappeared in the rural districts, because no matter from what locality a student came, he returned home a booster for the school. Where The Pictures Were Made All the group pictures in this year's book were made by the Scott Studio. The individual pictures appearing in the book were scattered among all three studios, Reinhards, Baughs, and Scotts. 1 Eight I 1 9 2 1 i l Orange and Black .- M 1 E .A blosl' Successful Your , EDi'roR. M. C. H. S., the past year has experienced what is probably the miost successful year in it's history. This success has been along varied lines, athletics, debate, music and declamation. At the time of the writing of this article, before the Verdigris Valley League Track Meet, M. C. H. S. has four cups-three league cups and one cup for the Third District championship. The cups won are: one for footballg one for declamationg one for the District Basketball 'Tournament and one for the league cham- pionship. Of these cups the girls won two, the boys two. In debate M. C. H. S. Went into the finals with Neodesha and Labette County High School in a triangular meet and we were beaten by Neode- sha. The decision was very close, however, M. C. H. S. getting four out of the nine judges. In the music contest we ranked second, being beaten only 53 to 49, while our nearest competitor got third with 25 points. The girls' basketball team ranked second in the League, Cherryvale being the winner of the cup by a close margin. The track meet is yet undecided when this article is written. In addition to this success in interschool contests, M. C. H. S. has not neglected her scholastic reqtirfrnerts which leave always been of a high standard. The faculty this year is the largest in the history of the school, being composed of twenty-three members and is of the same high standard as in previous years. 'Iiie members of the various teams maintained their class standing, as it was necessary to have passing grades in three subjects in order to participate in the interschool events. Harmony between the student body and the faculty has reigned throughout the year. No time has been lost through epidemics and the course of study has been covered as required. Whatever fate the future may hold for us, the fact remains that the twenty-two years of our existence thus far have been yearsiof usefulness. One characteristic will long be remembered, the fine spirit of the insti- tution. This has ever been a school which stands for fair play, for thor- ough class work and clean sportsmanship-a school of high moral stand- ards. Its thousands of students are scattered far and wide, laboring in varied Helds of honor and usefulness. Wherever they go, whatever they do is largely determined by the training they received while members of this student body. The spirit of such a school will long endure in the hearts of its children, and the old Montgomery principles still be dominant. Nine l. -.l I921l 'Min+ H. S.

It is they who deal. out the money for supplies, for improvements and for the salaries of the teachers. A The Board has been very generous for the past few years, appro- priating money for needed supplies, more teachers, new departments and inptitting up the building. Without them we could not exist. So we say, lf you want to stand, get a Board. The members of the Board are as follows: Miss Nora Howard, county superintendent, president. Chas. T. Carpenter, Cotfeyville, vice president. S. J.

The Rugburn Revival Q V An event which had a great influence, not only on the city but on the school as well, was the Union Revival Meetings held here in the Tab- ernacle through the month of February, beginning Sunday, January 30 and closing Wednesday, March 2. The meetings were in charge of Evan- gelist James Rayburn of Newton, Kansas, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Wickland, singer and pianist, whose home is at Valley, Nebraska. ' During the meeting ninety-nine students of the County High hit the trail. The last week of the campaign daily prayer meetings were held by the Y. M. and Y. W. The Y. M. C. A. continued their meet- ings three times a week for the remainder of the school year, while the Y. W. C. A. organized a special Bible Study class. The students attended some of the meetings in a body and several of the Glee Club members sang in the choir. The revival was held under the sponsorship of eight Protestant churches, the Methodist, Presbyterian, Christian, Congregational, United Brethren, Baptist, Friends, and Grace Methodists, all of which exper- ienced a great growth after the meetings closed. Thirteen I1921l l l J M. C. H,S, Orange, and Black I ii 1 Fl'lIfl.lLTY MR. NEES, B. S. Valparaiso University, A. M. Baker University. For twenty-two years Mr. Nees has been principal of M. C. H. S. and rightfully may he be called the Captain of the Ship. In spite of ofiice and class room duties, he finds time for recreatiofrr. Being very fond of tennis, he may often be found out on the courts playing to his heart's content, if winning. Bowling is his favorite indoor sport. Of all things imaginable, Mr. Nees least expected to take up teaching as a life profession. It isn't always best for one's neighbor that one think of him- self first. MR. CASTILLC. Kansas State Normal School. Agriculture and sciences, sometimes one science, sometimes another. He is one who practices what he preachesv and knows from experience what he teaches. He enjoys fun as much as the boys and girls, and does a lot of inventing along that line. Mr. Castillo is assistant principal and knows all about keeping several hundred students in working order when called upon to do so. MISS PATERSON, Kansas State Normal, A.M. Teachers' College. Did you ever think of something that seemed possible but almost improbable? Then here is a test: M. C. H. S. without Miss Paterson. English is her specialty. The recent debate series was under her super- vision. Without Miss Paterson, Y. W. would be like a car without an engine. Another impossibility is to express our appreciation to her for all she has 'done for us. MISS STEVENS, A. B., University of Kansas. Can you imagine Miss Stevens as being a professional nurse, admin- istering care to the helpless in Mercy Hospital, or would it be easier to see her passing her leisure hours on the tennis court unmercifully defeat- ing her opponent? Anyway, just take her on the next hike and see how you like it. Great fun! MR. BEAL, A. B. Baker University. Exercise is the only means through which the body can be kept young. Mr. Beal will always be young if that is so. He is a comrade as well as a leader among the students. Several cups have come to Fourteen I 1921-I M , Orange fund Black I H I' MEMBERS OF FACULTY.

S. love him, not only for what he has done but for what he is. MISS STEWART, A. B. Ottawa University. Quiet, reserved, but do you know her? A friend? Yes. There are two things in which she delights, typewriting and stenography. Who wouldn't like to know how to write as fast as one could talk? Oh! wouldn't the speed limit be broken though? MISS RUSSELL, A. B. University of Kansas. A lover of nature and all things natural could most truly be said of Miss Russell, instructor of English I and II. Why does she always remind one of smilax? There are many that never having had her instructon have never had her friendship either. But one person can never know everyone else any more than one person can count every star. MISS INGLEMAN, A. B., Unversity of Kansas. I To know her is considered a liberal education in itself. For many years Miss Ingleman was instructor in English I and II with the Fresh- men. Since promotion she has English III and IV. Humorous as it may seem, Miss Ingleman has had a lifelong desire to teach English in the Hawaiian Islands. When planning a picnic don't fail to invite Miss Ingleman, if a good time is desired, she can't be beat. MISS EVANS, Kansas State Normal School. Surely they sank Out on the Deep for nothing has been heard of them for ages. Miss Evans' work is of such a nature that we very often hear from her, especially in Chapel. And who enjoys anything more than we the morning the orchestra plays, or the glee clubs sing? MR. BAKER, Kansas State Normal School. A business teacher of business principles is Mr. Baker. Though in class room 254224, and a pocket veto is without signature, 'outside of class not all is stern reality. Mr. Baker used to be county superintend- ent but he finds that he likes the associations of high school folks the MISS O'BRIEN, A. B., University of Kansas. Does one's safety depend upon the driver? In a car, yes, but who is responsible with a broncho? Miss O'Brien can tell you either in Eng- lish, French or Spanish, just as you like. There are many reasons why we hate to leave M. C. H. S., and Miss O'Brien is one of them. It seems very difhcult to keep an instructor in this department. How- ever, fortune favors us. Even though a good teacher is lost, the effi- ciency of the department is never lowered by the inauguration of a new one. Expression and oral English are favorite subjects with many. Who isn't glad that Miss Lutz decided to come to M. C. H. S. rather than to l better of the two. MISS LUTZ, Oral English and Expression. become manager of a dramatic company?

ARMSTRONG. They knew her but to love her and named her but to praise. Cherryvale could not help being sorry to lose her, but just that once did we rejoice in Cherryvale's misfortune. Mrs. Armstrong teaches History and Economics, two very broad subjects which keep growing and widen- ing year by year. Success is bound, however, to come to the deserving, MR. WOOD, Kansas State Manual Training Normal School. There is something appealing about M. C. H. S., something that has a tendency to draw back those who have left. That is why we have Mr. Wood, in the Manual Training department. Anything worth while takes much practice to obtain it. Instrumental music is one of such. In this Mr. Wood is accomplished, .especially at piano. What? Surprised T' It is really so. , MISS GILMAN, A. B., Midland college. A happy go-lucky, care free little girl. Surely anyone so jolly will be missed by those who are leaving, never to return. She is an active worker in the Y. W. and a brilliant singer. There are Caesar and Virgil to choose between as to the one liked best, but the real choice will be Miss Gilman every time. , MISS VAN ARSDALE, A. B., University of Kansas. There's a reason why they like her and no one need wonder why. In the first place, who could help it? It is impossible to imagine her in any other work than monarch of all she surveys in her own department showing others the proper method in which to boil water without scorch- ing it. MISS DEWHIRST, B. S., Kansas State Manual Training Normal. I do -HI don't',- I do -until the last petal had been pulled from its center in the daisy. The result? Neither fate nor evidence', would be so cruel as to leave it in the negative. The Domestic Art work has been a splendid success under her supervision and everyone has surely enjoyed having her with us this year. MR. MARKLEY, Kansas University. t'Here lies Josephus Brown, Never to rise anymore. He took what he thot was H20 And instead 'twas HZSO4. No, Mr. Markley will never make that mistake if chemistry symbols are a preventative. His aversion is for the term professor, MR. DAVIS, Kansas State Normal. Mr. Davis has mathematics, a subject in which the imagination has to play a big part and especially in the discussion of the fourth dimension. The Mathematics Club is an organization under his supervision. This shows the interest taken by Mr. Davis in forwarding the work of M. C. H. S. Eighteen u1921I t A .

One often hears the remark- they are gone but not forgotten, and we wonder in just how many instances it is true. But the students in M. C. H. S. know of one case in which it is undoubtedly so. Shortly after the Xmas holidays, Miss Davis left us to take up new work in a new Held. She put heart and soul into her work here and made .a splendid success, which was the only one thing possible with such talent. MISS OTTO. Just one of those whole souled persons who do the right thing at the right time and who live with the joy that comes from making worldly pains a litttle less hard to bear. One who rejoices in the thought of hav- ing done good and who gladly has given her time to teach a class in Home Nurses' Training of High School girls who found it possible to enroll. And now don't you think her's is a case of preaching what you practice ? MR GOEPFERT. Whenever the Orchestra plays in Chapel we have the sensation of being lifted to a heaven of happiness. It's all because of the wonderful results obtained from the training given by the able instructor, Mr. Goep- fert. As a student body, the programs are surely appreciated, but un- doubtedly the benefit obtained by the members of the Orchestra from the training is by far greater. MISS COOPER, Librarian. Many are the troubled places that Miss Cooper smoothes away, wil- lingly hunting that elusive something wanted by so many students. Day after day there is the same hurry to find the article assigned for the next class. How patient and sincere Miss Cooper is, accommodating all to the fullest extent of her ability. MRS. SHIVE, Study Hall Supervisor. In vain has been the search for something that would justly express appreciaton to Mrs. Shive for the many things she has done for us. The position has been ahard one to fill, yet we have a feeling that she has done her duty and done it ably. Every day she realizes that pupils are very much different than they were a few short years ago when she was a student. But yet-are they? During the absence of Miss Cooper early in the fall because of inju- ries received in an auto accident, Miss Pearl Lyons of the Coffeyville City Library was employed to discharge the duties of librarian at the High School.

Undoubtedly it is good, but can it be said that it is the best? It is decidedly a college preparatory course but many take it who never go to college. Those who enroll are sure of getting a fine general education and a vast amount-of cultural training. Prompt admittance Without ex- amnation is given graduates of this course to almost any college in the United - States. NORMAL: The Normal course, too, has a definite purpose, it gives a training for one professsion, that of teaching.. Many enter the course who do not expect to teach, but only those who intend to enter the teaching pro- fession are advised to take the Normal course. The required subjects of this course cover the college entrance requirements, being practically the same as those of the collegiate course. BUSINESS: In this department there are more technical subjects, subjects per- taining to the nature of the course than in any other. Yet not all the subjects are business, but are so arranged to form a completely rounded out course. The commercial subjects are admirably interspersed with academic ones, thus forming a course suitable to any one, and especally to those who intend to take up business Work. GENERAL: The required and elective subjects of this course afford material from which a good general education may be obtained. Or it may form the foundation for a college education. It is regarded by many as the best course for an all around education offered by M. C. H. S. The four courses offered by M. C. H. S. are very good, covering the required Work in the most eflicient and Satisfactory manner. The courses are so related and combined that one cannot be said to be better than any other, but each one has its special purpose and gives its special train- ing. Furthermore, each one admits the graduate to college without examination, provided the few subjects always required for college en- trance are included. Twenty-two 11921 Lucile Otto.

WILMA WOOD, '21, Two senior girls, meeting in one of the halls Tacky day were observing the various garbs to be seen on that occasion when one of them said, Do you remember when we were freshies? Weren't we a bashful set ? Yes, I remember how embarrassed we were when we first came here. But when Miss Ingleman and some of the other teachers got us in their classes we felt more at ease. Yes, and the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. helped us get settled too. I'll never forget what a lovely time I had at the reception the Y. W. gave for us. At the end of that first year I had alfeeling that M. C. H. S. was about the flnest spot on earth. Sure! And I couldn't realize when I came back the next September as a Sophomore that I had ever acted as the Freshmen. The Sophomores from the City High asked just as many questions, and stood around in the halls just as bad as the Freshmen. The feeling of significance was increased two-fold when I became a Junior. Do you remember ,how we organized our class that year for the first time in the history of M. C. H. S? I bet the Juniors don't have anything this year that can compare with what we did Junior Day. I can just see those Seniors yet. They were so surprised when we all marched in Chapel. Just think, next year we will be scattered everywhere. But we have done a great many things to be proud of as a school. Well, I should say! Just look at the cups we have won, and think of having an all-victorious football team and two basketball teams that we can easily be proud of. You know so many seniors are in all the activities of this school that next year things will be different without us. Can't help but be so. - Yes, but I do hate to be separated from all these people that we have had so much fun with the last four years. To be sure, I can look at my Annual and imagine I am with them. p Of course you can, but it isn't like being with them. I never have had such good times as I have this year. My classes have all been so interesting and then the parties and lecture courses all are entertaining. I enjoyed the Oral English Play, too-had a good time at all of them. That was line, but anything is good that Seniors are in. Just wait until the Senior Play is given and we have our Class Day Exercises. Why, Twenty-seven I921 1' Mc. T , lll. S.

Who are, who are, who are WE? We are, we are, we are THE JUNIORS. And we are very proud to be Juniors. Through a long, toilsome Freshman year, through an equally long, tiresome Sophomore year we have struggled until we have reached the blessed year, the happy year of our High School days: the Junior year. When we were Freshmen, we were bewildered for we did not know very many of the teachers and pupils and the classrooms were very hard to find on the first day. We were too green the first year to really enjoy ourselves and to get the most out of our studies. Then came the Sophomore year. By this time we were not so green, We were better acquainted, and we knew more about High School life and what was expected of us. But then we had some troubles, there were essays to be written and hard theorems to be proved in Geometry. After we had safely passed the Freshman and Sohomore years we arrived at the best year of all, the year that will be longest remembered in our later years when we face the problems of life. Why is the Junior year the best? asks a Freshman. Echo answers, The Juniors have wrestled with their opponents for two years and in the conflict they have become strong and have gained courage with which to continue the strug- Forty l1921l M Orange and Black H JUNIOR OFFIC EIRS. Loftus Potts Meyer Riggs gle and conquer the remaining foes. Their strength makes it easier, their courage makes the burden lighter, and experience lends them a hand. As they enter the lists they have a greater determination to Win in the few remaining combats which will speedily be won. The Seniors have other troubles: They have Senior Final Exams for Whch to cram, there are plays that have to be put on, they have to prepare for Com- mencement, and greatest of all is the problem that awaits them when they will have finished High School. We are proud of our class because in all events of the year We have had an excellent representation. On the football team We had six husky Juniors who did their bit to make this an all-victorious football season. In basketball We, the Juniors, had four on the boys' team and three on the girls' team. At the present time the exact number of Juniors that will be on the track team cannot be obtained, but it is certain that the Juniors will have an excellent representation. In declamation the con- testant to Win the cup for M. C. H. S. was an industrious Junior. In debate We had four members of our progressive class. In the Glee Club were eight Juniors. In the band and in the Orchestra We had a very good showing. The Juniors were also active in Y. M. and Y. W. work. The president of the Y. M. Was a Junior and a Junior has been elected to be president of the Y. W. for next year. In fact, the large representation of Juniors in the different events of this year has been responsible to a large extent for the many victories Won for dear old M. C. H. S.

DONALD SALATHIEL, 23. The most important class in any school is the Sophomore class. Is there any proof of that statement? There most certainly is. Would there be any Juniors or Seniors if ,there were no Sophomores? As to the Freshmen, they are hopeful, although green, because they have a chance to become Sophomores. Get the private opinion of any professor or professoress on the subject. That's the way to clinch the matter. The Sophomore Class of any institution of learning is the source of all energy, pep, and school spirit. You may go to any interscholastic game or contest and notice what a great part in the rooting and the sus- taining of spirit the Sophomores play. There may be a Junior or Senior yell leader, but if that is true, it is so because the Juniors and Seniors combined have more votes than the Sophomores. You can't blame the so-called upper-classmen for being jealous of the doughty Sophomores. Then, too, on the gridiron and the court the Sophomores have always been well represented. Many times the members of the class of '23 have made plays which did much to win the games. The school will never for- get the names of the immortals, Heiser, Romig, Myers, and Scott. The Sophomores did not participate in the debates, because only Jun- iors and Seniors are permitted to do so. It seems that the faculty per- mits only those because they pity them. You see, if Sophomores were allowed to try out, they would outclass the Hupperclassmenf' The mem- bers of the faculty think they must treat the Juniors and Seniors well by preserving the places on the debating teams for them, because they must leave sooner than the Sophomores do. Lastly, the Sophomores do the best work in classes. Seniors and Juniors sometmes go so far as to intimate that Sophomores are not sufn ficiently dignified. Sophomores can have a good time, but they know when to work.

S. on September 6, 1920, and well do we remember that entrance day. We felt about as timid as the Freshmen classes preceding us, who had now become Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. Had we not been a courageous class, many of us would have been quitters on account of the leers of many Sophomores, jeers of several Juniors, and sneers of a few Seniors. These had evidently forgotten that they were once Freshmen, or remembered it with some embarrassment. Our greenness and bashfulness, however, soon wore off, for the more thoughtful upper classmen made us feel at ease, and even encour- aged us to join the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A.'s where we enjoyed many jolly occasions besides the interesting weekly meetings. We have also enjoyed helping to win the many victories which have been won by M. C. H. S. this year. Although we have not taken any direct part in any of the' contests, we have tried to show our school spirit by rooting for the rep- resentatives from this school, and for this school as a body. The four letters b-u-s-y never had a better application than when applied to the Freshmen Class of 1920-21. After having mastered many difficult lessons, which the teachers seemingly delighted to assign, the time arrived for the final examinations at the close of the first semester. Hurrah for the Freshman Class, For few Freshmen could be seen dur- nig examination days. Why? Because Mr. Nees strictly ordered all who were not required to come, to stay away. In every room Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors could be seen pondering over the difficult questions, with faces closely resembling those of chief mourners. What were the Greenies doing? Huh? Why, they were at home enjoying the vacation by giving dolly a tea party, or reading fairy tales. Our good times have greatly over-balanced our hard ones, therefore we have enjoyed our Freshmen days, and our big resolution is: We do solemnly swear to love, guide, and protect the new Fresh- men Classes throughout the years we attend this school. Our big regret is that our diplomas will not have HM. C. H. S. on them. Forty-six I 1 9 2 l ,U-gn,--V, - .,lIl..'i Orange and Black H li Freshmen Poem VIOLA ARRINGTON, '24. 'Twas the sixth of September, when all through the house Every Freshie was frightened as bad as a mouse, With our nerves all alert from our heads to our toes, As we went through the halls in rows after rows, Mr. Nees, as our captain, and all of us here, We started in right for a hard-working year. And we studied and studied for day after day, Taking time for our work, and time for our play. Victories triumphantly rang o'er our head, Basketball, football, and declamation led. Through the rains and the snows we hurried so fast, Success crowned our efforts from the first to the last. Now at the close of a wonderful year We yell: Rah! Rah! for the Freshies all here.

MAY WITCHER, '21. This year has been a splendid one for the Young Women's Christian Association. Very interesting meetings have been held every two weeks and the faculty as well as the girls have taken active part. We have been fortunate in having several speakers from outside of school at our meet- ings, as Miss Erma Appleby, the field secretary, and Mrs. Wickland, to help us to remember the C in Y. W. C. A. Various social affairs have been enjoyed in the Y. W. this year. We had our usual get acquainted party in September, and a Carnival later in the year. This was the best affair, socially and financially, that we have had. Also we staged a musical program displaying the talent of the school. The association is planning on sending three delegates to Estes Park next summer and we hope the years of '21 and '22 may be as helpful to the girls as it has been this year.

C. A. CHARLES MOBLEY,'22. Were we on the job? Yes! Every student of M. C. H. S. knows the Y. M. C. A. is a real factor in the school. When school started last Sep- tember, many of the boys were comparatively strangers. There it was that the Y. M. came up with a social and ice cream supper to get them all acquainted. Later on when everyone had got very nicely settled down to Working, here came a joint Y. M. and Y. W. watermelon social, and all had a very happy evening with those red, juicy melon hearts. But this is only one phase of the Y. M. triangle. We had our Bible Study class every second Wednesday night, and a speaker on the Wednesday nights between. Everyone was willing to help. The business men and the several ministers in town found time to talk to us when we asked them. They gave us some very useful advice, and we thank them for it. When the big tabernacle meeting Was going on, the Y was well Fifty-two l 1 9 2 1 I ' .2 f,gw -4 f I Orange and Black 4 represented on most occasions. Several of the boys decided to look at the Y. M. C. A. from a different view than theft had before. A newer and brighter light now guides their footsteps. The Y. M. boys are not only to be found at the mid-week meetings, but they are to be found three mornings each week'down in Mr. Beal's room in a circle enjoying a religious service. In fact, when you think of the Y. M. C. A. of our high school, you must think of Mr. Beal, the Y. M. adviser. He is behind every member of the Y helping him to develop those principles that make the biggest and the best men, the men the world is pleading for. Y. M. C, A. CABINET. Sewell. Stewart.

Once upon a time when I was traveling between Caney and Cherry- vale, the train stopped to get water at a small station, Independence, I believe it Was. Two young ladies entered the train. They seated themselves just across from me, so I could easily hear everything they said. From the very iirst their conversation interested me. They were from M. C. H. S., my Alma Mater. Soon they began talking about the work they had just finished, and about how sorry they were to be through school here, so I judged them to have been seniors. The smaller girl, I later found out that her name was Madge, said to the taller girl, Julia, I think of all my work and studies this year I enjoyed the Oral English classes the most. They were always so different from the other classes and we really gained so much after taking that course. I Yes, I enjoyed them myselfj' Julia replied, thoughtfully. Do you remember how we hated to recite at the beginning of the nrst term? It was awful to get up before the class and give readings, but gradually our embarrassment wore off and I enjoyed it. I didn't enjoy giving the readings so much, but I did enjoy that party we gave for Miss Davis when she left. Don't you remember how we hated to have her go ? Fifty-five a 1 9 2 1 l T-l Tl lNI. C. H. S. Grange and Black I certainly do, but I just adore Miss Lutz. I like her method of teaching. I think it was fun to give those extemporaneous talks. Don't you remember what queer subjects she chose sometimes ? I rather likedlthose myself, but I liked the longer talks that we had to prepare. Don't you remember how some of them talked on Money and one of the girls gave a talk on Radium. Now, talks like that are really instructive. That play we gave, though, was the best of all. Didn't we have lots of fun practicing? I thought Gladys Altman was just too cute as 'Constance Darcy', but when she was Nora she was perfectly adorable. Well, Walter Brandes was just as good, and look how well Everett Ryan did. Yes, they did well and so did everyone else in the cast. That reminds me, I believe that I have one of the programs in my traveling bag. I just love to look it over once in a while. I looked over their shoulders as I came down the aisle, a little later, and this is what they were looking at: MISS SOMEBODY ELSE. Cast of Characters.

S. it has long been the custom of the Oral English Class to organ- ize. This year the name chosen for the class was the Ku-Ku-Klan. The ofiicers elected were: Gladys Altman, president, Everett Ryan, vice presidentg Jessie Brown, secretary-treasurer. The class was first organized with the assistance of Miss Naomi Davis, who left during the Christmas vacation, to take up work elsewhere. Miss Davis was a Very competent instructor and talented reader, and was much loved by her pupils. We were exceedingly unhappy at the announcement of her departure, but were soon consoled by the arrival of our new teacher, Miss Irma Lutz. Miss Lutz has succeeded in winning her way into the hearts of all during her comparatively short stay here. The work of the Oral English department is varied and highly instructive. In this course one learns much of everything from dramatic and musical readings to the great elucidations of speechmaking. But the Ku-Ku-Klan has done much more than study. The class gave a farewell party in honor of Miss Davis who was soon departing. And that is not alll We anticipate a jolly picnic at the end of the term. One of the big features of the Ku-Ku-Klan was the presentation of the Annual Oral English play, Miss Somebody Else. Huppeiziizgs ui' The County High As M. C. H. S. has no school paper, news concerning the school was published in the Independence Daily Reporter, the leading daily of Inde- pendence. The Reporter kindly let us have an average of two columns each week, on Saturday, to print the news of the week. Only such news was printed as would be interesting to the ones outside the school as well as the students. Much news, such as jokes on members and little incidents which could be appreciated only by the student body, was omitted. News concerning the various contests, athletic, music, declamation, and debate was published, accounts of the Chapel sessions and meetings of the socie- ties, lecture course numbers, and other kindred news, spiced once in a while with a funny story or joke which could be appreciated by the ones outside, made up the character of the news. An average of two columns appeared each week and appeared thirty-six times during the school year on Saturday, with a few exceptions. It helped to advertise the school and to inform the public concerning the activities of the High School. It is hoped soon to have a regular High School paper. Harold Anderson con- ducted the column.

We were organized at the first of the year with Mr. Davis as sponsor, Bob Campbell, president, Frances Heckman, vice president, Bertha Olson, secretary-treasurer. Our constitution is a very liberal one, providing for social times, as well as things which increase our knowledge. Our name Mathematics Club enables us to discuss anything pertaining to Mathematics. We make a study of astronomy, radio, fourth dimension, and mathematical games and puzzles. Our meetings are conducted along parliamentary lines. We have a program committee who prevail on our members to give us speeches. The members choose deep subjects and expound in technical terms and mathematical ratios. The Go and Get ,em committee secure large and appreciative audi- ences for our able speakers. As Ernstein says, Everything is relative to something else, so we get out of our Club just what we put into it. We hope that next year '4The Club will get an earlier start and have as great success as we did this year.

D. K. '10. A history of the M. C. H. S. Alumni would consume, of necessity, several pages of this esteemed publication and the ,editor-in-chief, when he sought this article, especially said, 'fa page or two . So this is not a history. A history that did justice to the association would need to recount the high achievements of many individual members, for not a few have made good in an admirable way, in the big school of life, since leaving M. C. H. S. It is highly creditable to the school that of the 961 students who have graduated during the twenty-two years the school has existed, 600 have attended higher institutions of learning-a larger per cent perhaps, than any other high school in the state can show. Among the members of the alumni are found lawyers and preachers and teachers and farmers, engineers and bankers, pharmacists and osteo- path practitioners, stenographers a plenty, bookkeepers, editors, mail- carriers and machinists, salesmen and tailors, nurses and aviators, a mis- sionary or two, a deaconess, and last, but not least, because to qualify, calls for a smattering of all the above trades and professions, is the busy housewife. Her identity is given in the school catalogue only by the simple printed maiden name-a dash-and the last name of her husband. So, kind reader, when you scan the graduates in the future catalogues and see this dash-count on your finger a celebrity-for most of them are, but the world doesn't know it. A number of the alumni have found places on the M. C. H. S. faculty and have served faithfully and well, until matrimony or some other big venture, lured them away. The present faculty has seven members who are alumni and proud of it. If the M. C. H. S. Alumni members are distinguished for any one thing, that thing is the whole hearted loyalty each member has for the school. This loyalty has existed since the first senior class, numbering twenty-two, graduated in 1900 and became alumni members. It is notice- able, too, that these first graduates have remained loyal through the years. Some, in fact, many, have had children graduate in recent years from the school-and these children have acquired the same spirit of loyalty that is their parents. Most of you who read this, know that the reason for this loyalty and for the school's big growth and success, has been above all else, the Fifty-nine A eff e'ee f 1091 Q Q -Q M. C M. C. H. S. Ll Orange and Black leadership of Superintendent S. M. Nees, who has been the school head since it was founded. It has been his personal interest in the students, his Hne example of right living, his fairness and his sane judgment, that has bound the hearts of students to the school and, in many instances, has been the inspiration for big achievement after school days were over. Through all the heated political fights that the school has withstood during its existence, the school and its head, have been immune from criticism. Political leaders from rival cities have raved and torn their hair at Topeka, because their particular town had to pay taxes on the county school, but not a one of them could do aught but admit the school's high standing in the county and the ability and wide iniiuence of the man at its head. If a vote of the good people of the county, causes the school to be discontinued as a county institution and the property presented to Inde- pendence, as the new law made in Topeka, allows, the growth of the alumni association will cease. But the association, which will number something like 1,035, when the present senior class is graduated in May, ever, will hold dear, its memories of M. C. H.

S. represented by Miss Treva Lawler of the Class of '22, romped over the other six. schools in the Verdigris Valley League in the Declamation Contest held at Neodesha, Friday, January 28. Miss Lawler won for the school the loving cup offered for the contest, and a gold mfdnf which became her own property. There was great rejoicing when the final decision was given and the following Monday in Chapel a celebra- tion was staged in honor of thevictor. Her reading was The Death Disk. Seventeen students tried out for the contest, gg and after the first tryout three were tied for first ' ' place, Miss Treva Lawler, Miss Lillian Case and Miss Wilda Dobson. In a later contest Miss Law- ler won. She worked hard and faithfully for sev- eral weeks, being coached by Miss Davis until she resigned at Christmas, then by Miss Lutz and Miss lngleman. Several of the rest of the Factlty offered valuable suggestions and criticisms. On the day of the contest, Miss Lawler, accom- panied by a body-guard of several of the lady members of the Faculty, journeyed to Neodesha and looked over the ground. ln the evening she appeared on the Held of battle and convinced the judges that she ought to have first place, and by her clever interpretation of the characters in her reading, especially that of the child, swept every- thing before her and won the cup. Debate FAYE SLOAN, '21 Do you know that we have some modern Websters and Lincolns in M. C. H. Sf? Had you heard the argument given in debate by some of our silver tongued orators, that fact would be realized. Montgomery High entered the V erdigris Valley League again for sev- eral events, one being debate. All Juniors and Seniors who desired to enter Sixty-two as I 1 9 2 1 is 'I V'Orunge and Black i H U o DEBATE BEAM, Goodell, Stoner, Anderson, Meyer, Rciberds, Thompson, Loftus, Riggs. were given a tryout on the question: Is football the best form of high school athletics ? On the evening of December Hfteenth, nineteen hrndrcd twenty, four- teen students tried out. From these fourteen the followfng were chosen: Roma Riggs, Harold Anderson, Otto Meyer, Wesley Roberds, Kenneth Goodell, and Herbert Stoner, with Ruth Thompson and Walter Loftus as substitutes The Whole school Worked hard for the beautiful cup to be awarded to the Winner. With this grand tiophy ahead as their goal, the teams, sub- stitutes, faculty and members of the student body enthusiastically, yet in- telligently went about, searching for material for argument of the great question: Resolved, That labor unions are detrimental to the best interests of Working menf, The material having been gathered, the teams were drilled incessantly. At last the great day arrived, February ninth! In the triangular debate, including Caney, Cotfeyville, and M. C. H. S., our negative team, composed of Roma Riggs, Harold Anderson, Otto Meyer, stayed at home and enter- tained the affirmative team from Caneyj They did a good job of it, too, for the judges decided by a unanimous vote for the negative. On the same evening, our aitirmative team, composed of Wesley Roberds, Kenneth Good- ell, Herbert Stoner, went to Cotfeyville and were victorious, receiving a decision of tvvo to one from the judges. A. Week later on February sixteenth. our teams debated with the Win- ners of the other sections. Labette County came here and met our affirma- Sixty-three I 1 9 2 1 l M ,,.,v,.7 .... .,.w-,ref - .-- ---T1-v - i ' H Orange and Black D .C. . S. tive team, which might Well be called the t'Warbling Websters. Of course Labette County was defeated by a unanimous decision. But our negative team, which went to Neodesha, met a sad fate, for the judges decided two to one in favor of Neodesha. On the same evening Neodesha won over La- bette County at Altamont and in so doing, Won the League cup. Oh, well, we are good losers. The teams received a great deal of valu- able training even though they did not Win the cup. And they feel that their time has not been wasted. It is better to have debated and lost, than never to have debated at all. While extolling the virtues of our debaters and praising their efforts to carry conviction to judges and audiences, We must not forget their train- ers. Miss Paterson Was the head of a very active faculty committee on de- bate. The other members Were Miss O'Brien and Mrs. Armstrong. These ladfies Were untiring in their efforlts, not only to cite the debaters to author- ities on the subject, but in the assembling of parts, their services were invaluable. Much credit along these lines is due also to Miss Cooper, while in the matter of training for delivery Miss Ingleman, Miss Gilman and Miss Evans rendered efficient service.

C. H. S. ranked a close second with 49 points. Neoclesha won five firsts and one second out of six entries while M. IC. H. 'S. out of the same number of entries, won three iirsts, two seconds and a third. M. C. H. S. is proud of the fact that we won our two big entries, the Mixed Chorus of 32 voices and the Boys Glee 'Club of 16 voices. Especially are we proud of the Glee Club because of their splendid singing and also over the fact that they forced Neodesha's much touted glee club to take second place. Five glee clubs were entered, Neodesiha, Fredonia, Caney, Labette County and Montgomery County. In the 'Mixed 'Chorus we had only one opponent, Caney. The chorus sang, Daybreak by Faning and the Glee 'Club sang the Winter Song by Bullard. The Mixed Quartet easily took first place over their opponents Labette County and Cherryvale, while the Girls Quartet was given second place. The Mixed Quartet sang, Love, Like the Dawn Came Stealing by 'Cadman and the Girls Quartet sang Come Down, Laughing Stream1et by Spross. 'Considering the fact that all seven schools entered a girl's quartet we may well feel proud even of second place. In our solo numbers. Ralph Owen, tenor, secured second place while the piano soloist Harlan Pettit. was ranked third. Both these events were won by Neodesha. Owen sang Tommy Lad by Margetson and Pettit played Revolutionary Etude by Chopin. Though we didn't win the contest, we still had the honor, as we did the year before of having the prettiest girls on the stage. Annual Stuff Faculty Advisor ................ E. fl.

RALPH OWEN HARLAN PETTIT Soloists In Music Contest Ralph 'fBub Owen, the veteran of the Boys Glee Club, was the vocal soloist this year. Bu'b is a tenor and sang many selections in -Chapel and on the trips with the Club. He entered the Verdigris Valley Music con- test singing Tommy Lad and won second place among four contestants. Harlan Pettit is the accompanist and piano soloist of the music depart- ment. There is no better accompanist in the entire valley and to his faifth- ful work depends largely the success of the glee clubs and choruses. He entered the piano solo event in the league music contest but only placed third. We always will think that he should have had first. He playedi the Revolutiontary Etude by Chopin. - Lecture, Course ,2O-'21 The 1920-'21 Lecture Course was one of the best ever put cn by M. C. H. S. 'both in the quality of the entertainment and the variety. Five num- bers were presented, three being music numbers. The Bostonian lSextette Club, an instrumental organizationg the Montague 'Light Opera ICO., con- sisting of four persons who sang varied selections and also presented scenes from such operas as the Mikado and The Red Mil1 g and the Sterling Male Quartet. One lecturer appeared on the program, -Montaville Flowers of California, who lectured on the Japanese question, and one reader, Phi- delah Rice, who is regarded as one of the foremost entertainers on the American platform. Janitors of BI. C. H. S. M. C. H. S. has been extremely fortunate for the past several years in having an excellent janitor. The rooms are kept spotless and every visitor who comes to the school praises the Well kept condition of the building and grounds. The janitor up until Christmas of this year was L. V. Burfield who has spent nearly thirty-eight years in janitor work and is an expert in his line. Besides being a iine janitor he was popular with all the students and was fond of discussing politics and religion. On account of failing health Mr. Burfield asked a vacation to begin at Christmas of this year and went to his newly purchased farm in Rice Co. His place was taken bv Lucas Winkle who 'has kept the building in excellent condition. ' lI921I M.C. -..T -., W.--W .. ,- I H. S, Q Orange and Black 1.-17 BOWS GLEE CLUB.

The Boys' Glee Club this year was a wonderful success. The Club is composed of the best singers of M. C. H. S. People come from miles around to hear our boys sing. The Boys' Glee Club was very popular this year. They were invited to banquets and were called upon to entertain people for the evening, both in our own city and out of town. Among the many places the boys were invited were Sycamore Valley School Housey Choteau Church, and also to a four course banquet given by the 'iKiwanis Clubn of Independence, Kans. The boys have a Wonderful amount of spizerinctumU, especially when they sing such songs as The Marching Song or some peppy song like that. The Boys' Glee Club was entered in the Y. Y. L.

'There was plenty of good material, so with 'Miss Evans as a very' able instructor, the Glee Club has been a success. The Girls' Clee Club did net enter the Verdigris Valley League Music contest. lt has, however, given several numbers in Chapel. At the Old Settlers Reunion , the girls were called upon to sing and responded with a will. They have sung on several special occasions, and render a select number for the Commencement program.

S. lt is made up of members of both boys and girls glee clubs. They sang several times this year in chapel, at Sycamore Valley, at the Kansas State Teachers Convention here in October and dem- onstrated their ability in contest work by winning first place in the V. V. L. Music contest here March 18. The Chorus also sing for the Baccalaureate Sunday service. Orchestra ORRIE SNOOK, '22, For the past few years M. C. H. S. has been without an organized orchestra. On September 10, 1920 all students playing instruments met and began practicing twice a week, Tuesday afternoon and Friday morn- ing. This organization of an orchestra was only a trial, but it proved a success. . This orchestra has played at numerous places and at all times has been well received and highly complimented. Under the s-upervision of P. O. Goepfert this orchestra has reached a moderate standard of efiiciency. It is fully expected that we will even be excelled by next year's- organization. Next year M. C. H. S. will have more material to work with and conse- quently will maintain a good record for that year. It is believed the orches- tra could have received high honors in the music contest which was held here this spring. Owing, however, to the numerous events occuring at that time, M. C. H. S. was unable to enter the contest. The orchestra elected oflicers near the first of the term, as follows.: Lillian Case, president, Orrie Snook, vice-presidentg Donald Salathiel, secretary: George Andrews, treasurer, Harold Ward, librarian. These officers were elected for one year, or until the orchestra meets to reorgan- ize for next year. i The roster of the Orchestra includes: Roy Romig, Franklin.DeVore, Earl Allen, Walter Loftus, Theo. Underwood, Robert Campbell, Ralph Owen, Fred Palmer, Donald Salathiel, George Andrews, Harold VVard, Thomas Hamilton, Roland Sanford, Orrie Snook, Otto Culbert, Elva Ferguson, Elaine Ditto, Hazel Duckworth, Marjorie Navarre, Roma Riggs, Lillian Case. h 'L Side Line Gossip While the Galena boys were being taken from the school to the field for the foot ball game the car passed the cemetery as it must, to reach the field. One of the Galena boys said, 'tThey got us close enough to a graveyard, anyway. They needed one, too, when the game ended with them holding the goose-egg of a '73 to 0 score. During the last half of the Fredonia game at Fredonia with the ball at the south end of the field about the 30 yard line, an old man walking with a cane started across the north end from the east side to the west. The referee stopped the game until the old gentleman could cross. One of the Fredonia men said, What's the use, we'l1 never get that far anyway. In the High School-American Legion basketball game Booger Allen, when jumping with a tall Legion man for the ball, stood on the edge of the seat thus rising to the height of his opponent.

T-he players were inspired to fight harder when they heard the football song ringing across the Held.

Orange and Black H,S, l , l FOOTBALL The Football season of 1920 opened with fine prospects for a cham- pionship team. Nine letter men reported for practice the first week, be- sides many new men and some members of the second team of the previous season. Teamwork and success was the daily watchword in camp. Underthe guidance of Coach Beal and the able leadership of Captain Goodell all plans were ably carried out. The season opened at this place, and Oswego was our first opponent. We were all anxious to see our team in action, and were confident of win- ning. We were not disappointed, Oswego went down forty-six to nothing, and the way we celebrated that first victory showed plainly that the stu- dents were back of the team. Next, we romped on Neodesha on their own grounds. Our boys showed better teamwork than their opponents, and generally outplayed them. This was our first League game. ln this game it was made quite evident that we had a very able quarter-back in the person of Loftus. In the game at Cherryvale our opponents got a better start than we did. This made Weenie so mad that he started out to make all the touchdowns. But the rest of the boys soon recovered and we succeeded in winning the third game of the season. By a little oversight we permitted Cherryvale to score a few points on us, however. The next Friday Chanute came down here. Came down is right, for what was expected to be a hard game turned out to be a walk-away for M. C. H. S. 'Our boys did excellent teamwork, the line holding well, enabling the backfield to make steady gains. Perhaps Chanute would have scored if Goodell had not meddled with their passes. Just like Goodell. Caney was next. With what eagerness we had been awaiting that game! Caney, winner of the V. V. L. championship last year and after it again, was sure of victory, but our scoring machine, got to work and put out real football. Perhaps our boys wanted to show off for the Kansas Teachers who were present. The whole eleven displayed great teamwork, trying only to beat Caney which they did by an overwhelming score. However, our star tackle, Yoe, was injured in this game, so that he played no more during the season. Our next game was at Fredonia. This was an easy victory for M. C. H. S. Goodell thought it was a track-meet. At one time when ghe inter- cepted a forward pass he ran 72 yards for a touchdown. This was the high point game of the season. Labette County High, one of the strong teams of the League, was scheduled to come here next, but forfeited the game. A game with Howard was secured, which was the big surprise of the season. Contrary to expec- tations, they were a bunch of husky lads from the hills of Elk County who could really play football and they put up a good, hard game, while our boys did not play up to form. Although the visitors were defeated, they kept our score down to the smallest of the season.

Although our opponents played a good game, it was Montgomery's game from the start and remained so to the finish. Skeet gave us a thrill by pulling off some- thing novel in the way of making touchdowns. This novelty consisted mostly in a combination of tag , blackman , hurdles , dashes and sprints . , We closed the ,season by winning our annual Turkey Day game, which gwvas played at Coffeyville. Our boys did not play well at the start, due to the absence of their captain, who was out on account of illness, and because Weenie was hurt during the first half and had to retire from the game. Too, there were only a few rooters who accompanied the team. Later on the crowd began to arrive. The team then warmed up and played real foot- ball, winning the game by a large score. We must not overlook the only game the seconds played, which was on Armistice Day at Nowata. It was one of the hardest fought games of the season but the seconds showed that they could bring home victory as well as the first team. Under the guidance of Booger Allen they won by ihe close score of 14-13. When the final whistle blew in the game at Coffeyville, M. C. H. S. closed the most successful football season in its history, 481 to 34 and every game won. Not only had the team won all of the nine games of the sched- ule for which it was awarded the Championship of the Verdigris Valley League and the large silver loving cup, but it has been cited many times by prominent ex-football players as being one of the best high school teams they had ever seen in action. It is probable that the M. C. H. S. team was the best in the state for the season 1920. It was a well-balanced team with regard to oiensive and defensive play-a condition not usually found among high school teams. The team's success was due to the excellent work of Coach Beal, and the sportsmanlike attitude which was manifested not only by the willing- ness and anxiety of every member of the squad to do his best at all times, but by acquiring an all-important element in football, known as team- work . We are indeed thankful that the success of the season was un- 'rnarred by any serious accidents, and we are more than glad it ended so w successfully. SEASON RECORD. Oct. 1 . . . , . NI. C. H.

GAYLORD TOLIN, Ht. 5 ft. 9 in., wt. 156 lbs. Although Gay7 is a football vet, this was his first year for M. C. H. S. As half- back he played an excellent game, and was fast and steady as a player. WAYNE WEAVER, Ht. 5 ft. 7 in., wt. 150 lbs. What 'fWeenie lacked in size, he makes up in aggressiveness. He was always full of pep, and when he got started, he was hard to stop. M. C. H.

In defensive playing he was a sure tackler, while his line plunges and end runs were a feature of the game. He will prove a very valuable man next year. EVERETT RYAN, Ht. 5 ft. 7 in., wt. 154 lbs. Fleety played full this year. He is one of those agressive fellows who are hard to stop. His line plunging ability enabled him to make steady gains. He will not be with us next year. WESLEY ROBERDS, Ht. 5 ft. 11W in., wt. 160 lbs. Weazer played end this year, and made an enviable record for himself. He is steady and watchful and always gets his man. He is especially good at receiving passes and going down under punts and kick-offs. WALTER YOE, Ht. 5 ft. 10 in., wt. 180 lbs. On account of bad luck Walt did not get to play much this year. He was full of fight and pep, and we are sorry that his injury kept him out of so many games. CHARLES YOE, Ht. 5 ft. 9 in., wt. 165 lbs. Little Yoe is little but mighty and they don't grow too big for him. When it comes to holding the line, Charley holds his own. His defensive work made him a valuable man.

He was full of fight and determination and is known as a line-holder. FORREST GECKELER, Ht. 5 ft. 11 in., wtl 186 lbs. Geek played center again this year.

Girls Basketball A Coach Beal kept up his record by turning out a girls' basketball team which was the champion from the Third District. From the beginning of the season the girls showed great interest in basketball and after much practice and hard work the team was chosen. Nora Davidson, captain, was the only letter-girl on the team. 'The way in which she kept the opposing forwards from making baskets was always a feature which attracted the attention of the spectators. She was chosen as a member of the All-District team. i Some Case. That's what her opponents said when trying to iind a way to keep Lillian from caging baskets. Her speed and accuracy made her a forward star. 'She was picked for the All-District team, and was high-point girl of the tournament. Id-a fHessert has -the fight and Hoor- work that make her a good guard. Her ability to block high 'passes to opposing forwards was exceptional, and her team-work with guard and centers was noteworthy. Virginia Cook, although small in stature, made up for this handicap in alertness and accurate goal shooting, for when she got the ball we were assured of a few more points. Mary Muesse, though not so tall as most of her opposing centers, was Eighty-nine I 9 2 1 -. ---pp?-V BLU H. S Li -fmt. 1i.s. 5 . 1 ii l 1 i -- . . Y..g..-. ..

Hazel Duck- worth, side-center, was also small but her grit, her accuracy and speed won for her a place on the All-District team. Marvel Tharp was certainly a marvel at playing basketball. She played second center and will be back next year. When Mildred Stevens got the ball, it seem-ed as if she :had it trained to drop through the basket. She played forward during the first half of the season, but was compelled to quit because of an injury. 'They played eleven games during the- regular season and won ten. About sixty girls reported for practice during the first weeks of Novem- ber but it became necessary to reduce the squad to about thirty so that the practice could become more systematic and this gave the coach and captain a much better opportunity to select a team to represent M. IC. H. S. in inter-school games. 'The girls' record this year is indeed an enviab'le one. Their strongest opponent was Cherryvale. They were tied for first place in the V. V. L. which necessitated the playing of a post-season game. This was played at Neodesha, and Cherryvale won 28 to 23. Although they did not win the V. V. L. cup, our girls had made amenfds by capturing the District cup, in some respects a much greater victory. Our girls were beaten all right by Cherryvale in the 'League game, but they defeated that same aggrega- tion overwhelmingly at Pittsburg. A curious thing is noticeable in that of the four times our girls met the -Cherry girls they ran up a higher total score than the lassies of that -school by thirteen points. An exceptionally fine attitude of sportsmanship was displayed by the team throughout the season and everyone is enthusiastic in praise for the girls and concede that the girls' basketball team of 1920-'21 was a real asset to M. YC. 1H. S. There is every reason to believe that this team was one of the best in the state. Boys' Banskefball In keeping with the fine showing made in other events this year, Coach Beal turned out a real boys' basketball team. Although a large number of enthusiastic men answered the call for practice the 'Coach was hindered by lack of experienced men. Pocock and Loftus were the only letter-men reporting for service. Ted retains his reputation for speed and accuracy, and has fa way of dodging about that makes him hard to guard. Skeet used his head on this court as well as he did in football. He will be a very valuable man next year. Goodell, another letter-man did not play at the beginning of the season owing to illness. He started in Febru- ary and showed his usual speed and headwork. Icky showed himself to be a star at long-distance shots. His ability to imake free throws won many points. Travis was especially good at getting the tip-offs from the opposing centers. His fast floor-work and goal shooting made him one of the most consistent players in the league. Heckert was one of the devel- opments of the season. His consistent and clear-headed playing won admiration from all. He is captain-elect for next year. Yoe subbed at guard the entire year, and played a good game. He will be a real aspirant Ninety f 1 9 2 1 L ,. -. ...- Y , 'P 'fl Urcinfle and Blrlcli l ' i - for guard next year. Tolin, who also played guard, displayed the M. C. H. S. iight and spirit. His floor-work was a feature of the games in which he played. He will be back next year. Our strongest contestants this year were Fredonia and Caney. Al- though. we defeated Fredonia here in a close hard fought game, we could not stop them on their own court. This was the only league game M. C. H. S. lost. Then, too, whenever we invade Caney we are assured of a hard tight. But our boys proved themselves superior to the Caney team and heat them by a large score. We administered another beating to them on our home-court, which practically cinched the V. V. L. championship. Our season record shows only one game lost. This record entitled us to the cup.

District Tournament There was great rejoicing in camp on the morning of March 10, when the boys' and girls' basketball teams boarded the train for Pittsburg. For, after the splendid showing made by both teams in the V. V. L., it was decided that they should represent M. C. H. S. at the district basketball tournament. Prospects looked good. ' The boys' first game was with McCune. They won this game easily by a score of 20 to 3.

These they defeated 20 to 12. Being their first game there, they were excited and nervous, which accounts for the low score. The second game was with West Mineral, which team was swamped under the score of 37 to 10. This was the high- est -score made in the girls' games. Next, they met the team of Oswego in the hardest game of the tournament for M. C.H. S. A few minutes before the final whistle, the score was tied. At the end of the game it was 21 to 18 with the County girls winners. The Oswego game was in the semi-finals, and in the finals iM. C.H.S. girls met their strong rival, Cherryvale. But the game did not prove as hard as was expected. The County girls won by a score of 26 to 11, more than doubling the score, thus winning the tournament championship and the cup as the trophy. Lillian Case was the 'high-point maker of the meet, scoring 28 Held goals and 18 free throws. Three members of the team made the All4District team: Lillian Case, F3 Hazel Duckworth, second C5 Nora Davidson, captain and guard. Virginia Cook, F, received honorable mention. That cup 'looked mighty fine on the Auditorium table next Monday. H State To'crrn'c1meni' After the District Meet, the girls had a vision of the grail and ac-cordingly journeyed to the State Tournament at Lawrence in quest of it. Although their vision was acted upon, they did not bring home the cup. In the first round M. C. H. S. drew a bye. In the second round they met the fast Dodge City team. It was a close game throughout, the score at the end of the first half being 14 to 12, in favor of Dodge City. They continued in the lead throughout by a few points and wh-en the Iinal whistle blew the County girls were at the short end of a 21 to 18 score. The girls had but recently played four hard games in the District Tournament, and had played Altamont at the beginning of the same week of the State Tournament and were rather a weary bunch. As a result. they were not in condition to do their best at Lawrence. However, the score shows they gave Dodge a run for her money. At Home. M. C. H. S. 28-Fredonia 26. M. C. H. S. 45-Coffeyville 12.

Booger Allen's study in agriculture is having a little effect. On the way to Fredonia for the football game, seeing some chickens in the road he yelled proudly: See them things. I know what they are. Them's chickens. He also knows a good cow when he sees one, for when Markley asked him if the Duroc Jersey cow is a good one, he anwered: Sure, they're good milkersf' IVe wonder if those fellows who held up Beal one night about 2 o'clock when he was returning from the basketball game at Caney wouldn't have taken more if he hadn't had two young ladies with him. .

In this calamity we see the downfall of Turkey, the upsetting of Greece, the destruction of China, and the humiliation of Africa. The Old, Old Story.

At a recent school examination for girls, this composition was handed in by a girl of twelve. The boy is not an animal, yet they can be heard to a con- siderable distance. When a boy hollers he opens his big mouth like frogs, but girls hold their tongues until spoken to, and then they speak respectfully and tell just how it was. A boy thinks he is clever because he can wade where the water is deep. When a boy grows up he is called a husband, and then he stops wading and stays out nights, but the grown up girl is a widow and keeps house. -Anaheim, Calif., Annual, 1919.

Here are some answers to the ques- tion: 'tWhy do they call a ship she ? If you ever tried to steer one you wouldnit ask. Because it takes so long to get them ready to go anywhere. They need almost as much dolling up and painting as any woman you ever saw. A ship's gotta have its own way or it wonit go. Ships always come off the ways back- wards like the members of a certain sex alighting from street cars. It costs so much to keep one in oper- ation.

People are divided into two classesg, those who stand by themselves and those who lean on others. The leaners some- times get along. If they can find others who don't object to being leaned on, they may even prosper. But there is always a chance that the prop may be taken away, and the brother leaner, unless he can find another prop on very short notice, loses his lance and falls. If you find youware getting the lean- ing habit, break yourself of it instantly. If you have begun to carry your little problems to others instead of solving them yourselves, you are in grave dan- ger. For very soon you will cease to depend on your own mind altogether, and after all that is the only dependable thing that there is in the world as far as you are concerned. Your own mind, if it is strong and well disciplined and independent, will see you through. Depend on that, and you will stand upright, and make your own way. Lean on your friends, and some day you will find that everything is dropped out from under you and left you flat in a heartless and unpitying world. .... A Dirge. She laid the still, white form by the side of those who had gone before, no sob, no sigh, forced itself from her heart, throbbing as though it would burst.

She would lay another egg to- morrow.-Elk City H. S. Annual. A True Gentleman. Maybe you've often wondered what the qualities of a true gentleman are. Here's a choice little clipping from 'KThe Ritter Craftsman, which gives the deli- nition of such a fellow: A man that's clean inside and out- side, who neither looks up to the rich nor down to the poor, who can lose with- out squealing, and who can win Without bragging, considerate to women, chil- dren, and old peopleg who is too brave to lie, too generous to cheat and too sen- sible to loaf, and who takes his share cf the world's goods and lets other peo- ple have theirs, has the characteristics of a tiue gentleman.

One day Lorenzo Michal came rushing and panting into the Spanish class about five minutes late. His hair was on end, his collar turned up, his face red. Everyone thought that he had been in a fight, but inquiry revealed that his side had won in Basket Ball. Mr. Davis, suggesting an increase of salary, Why, Mr. Nees, since I'm married I find my salary is not large enough! Mr. Nees: Possibly and probably. And it will never be again.

The fHuman Eye Several of our young ladies have engaged recently in animated discussions on the human eyes in general and two young men's eyes in particular. Opin- ion has been divided. One aggregation says Mr. Markley's eyes are brown and pleading, while another group differs. One bunch claims Mr. Wood's eyes are keen and piercing, the other maintains they are blue and dreamy. So there you are! Axiom one: Never study when you can do something else. Axiom two: Never go around when you can cut across. Axiom three: Never figure out for yourself what you can get your neigh- bor to figure out for you. Corollary: Be diligent in these things and many others will be added unto you.

Now comes the interesting part. Every day Raymond comes out just as Skeet comes along and so never gets to walk with her alone. Is this coincidence or premeditated action? One of the members of the Glee Clubs had quite a surprise while going to Syc- amore Valley. Upon getting out at a farm house to ask the way to the church he was met at the door by a farmer with a shotgun. Needless to say, he beat 'it quickly. i'What I yearn for, said Ed Kandt lazily, is absolute leisure, a chance to cut loose from ordinary cares and drift with the currentf, Well, said Vivian Hamilton, that ought to be easy. It seems to be your idea of happiness to get in a row boat and let the engine stall. One day in Botany, Cas was wound up telling of the great workings of science and how it was possible to see the battle of Waterloo today, etc., etc. Avola Fields in her usual clever way asked, You don't believe that do you? In the Coffeyville-M. C. H. S. debate M. C. H. S. told of an open shop town in California where a man laid 2000 bricks a day while in a closed shop town in the East a man only laid 900. A Coffeyville debater arose and asked: 4'We'd like to know if that California man was working the 8-hour shift.

Someone must have thought Miss Lutz was giving a debate one morning in Chapel when she was announcing the Oral English Play for while she was speaking a bell rung. She stopped at once. 4 And his heart within him fluttered, Like the birch leaf palpitated- No, we don't refer to Hiawatha but to Paul Clidord when he thought Nora Davidson winked at him. One of our able debaters had great ideas about starting his speech. He wished to stailt it thus, Mr, Chairman, Hon. Judges, Ladies and Gentlemen: A good debate must be like a W01113.1'17S skirt: long enough to cover the subject and yet short enough to be interesting. While speaking of 'Yeasts in Bot- any one day, mention was made inad- vertently that the brewer was patriotic. Icky in the back of the room ex- claimed, Amen. On the afternoon of the Caney-M. C. H.

Coming home from the Coffeyville- Fredonia football game Mr. Beal de- serted his friends and seated himself near a young lady. In the course of the conversation that followed he asked her: 'KDon't you ever get lonesome. Wonder what he meant? On the night when the M. C. H.

Miss Van Arsdale and Mr. Beal were among the number but when the rest left the Auditorium to give their decision, they remained behind, convers-- ing pleasantly and with their thoughts no doubt very far away from labor un- ions but perhaps near another kind of a union.

Another case has developed recently which gives promise of becoming ser- ious, and may have to be quarantined. The persons in queston are Grace White and George Mobley. Charles Yoe and Beulah Hurst were seated side by side one noon in the Aud- itorium. A passerby exclaimed, It is surprising how many quiet young men are led astray by lively young women. Keep your eyes open, Trav. Avola said the other day, I like Edgar Allan Poe.' The following was told by Mr. Wick- land while here with Evangelist Ray- burn: In a certain debate in Wisconsin, after the speaker had made a great speech, presenting fine arguments and winding up with a flow of oratory which would do credit to Cicero, someone in the audi- ence come up to the stage and 'threw a cabbage head at him. He rose to the occasion, saying: I knew I had a good speech but I didn't think anyone would lose their head over it. Mr. Markley: The echo always fol- lows. Just remember that. Phil Michal, hesitatingly, Why, er, it ainit that way in economics. Logical at Least. Miss Ingleman fin Reviews Classiz Miss Ferguson, will you tell me what a conjunction is, and compose a sentence containing one ?

It has been found by investigation that the average length of a young man's arm is 30 inches. Also investigation re- veals that the average size of a young lady's waist is 30 inches.

One day he ran up to his father, so Charlie says, and said, Say, dad, I've watered the hogs and milked the chickens, now may I go swimmin'?,' One day as Elmer Chism was turning the corner at the Ci'tizen's Bank he ran abruptly into Elva Ferguson, almost knocking her off the walk. Excuse me, girlie, said the young man, gallantly. K How dare you even speak to me! I don't know you from Adam, snapped Elva. 'fWhy, you ought tog I'm dressed different? They met by chance.

Earl: 'KBut how did folks stay up be- fore that law was passed? 'tBrighten the Corner Where You Are is a favorite song with the student body of M. C. H. S. Many out-of-town stu- dents, male and female, gather in the southeast corner of the Study Hall, and the city pupils in the southeastycorner of the Auditorium and proceed to bright- en it very glaringly. Our old time janitor, Burfield, must like to dance. About once a week he oiled the floors like a dance hall and ev- erybody went slipping all over the floor. Roma Riggs, one of the debaters, suf- fered an attack of nightmare before the Caney debate. From all accounts it must have been very terrible. In English VIII class while reading Julius Ceasar with the part of Casca, Francis Brown said to Harriet Love who was reading the part of Cassius, Hold my hand. Another case is in the making. Mil- dred Lynch and Earl Hussong were caught studying UD together in a va- cant room one day. Herbert Stoner and Wesley Roberds on their way to the car, met the girl who came up on the Caney team to de- bate the M. C. H. S. negative team. After passing them Weazer remarked, Gosh, I hope there ain't any pretty girls like that on the Coffeyville team. If there is, we'll sure lose the debate. This isn't fiction-it really happened in this school, November 29, 1920.

Mr. Davis: Many things are merely a difference of opinion. For example, when is the best time to plant trees? Harold Ward: In the spring. Prexy Kandt: You're wrong. In the winter. Don Salathiel: Both wrong. Plant 'em in the ground. Prof. Dellinger, one of the judges at the Caney-M. C. H. S. debate simply had to vote for M. C. H.
