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. Howard, Cherryvale, Secretary. E. H. Pugh, Independence, Treasurer. Dr. M. A. Finley, Cherryvaleg C. P. Dalby, Havana, L. R. Auld, Elk City. 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.

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
