The Greul' Advenl'ure Glance backward with us, the Seniors, who are about to launch into the sea of life and see in vision some of the things that we remember from our school days. At first sight there is one thing that stands out most of all, the letters M. C. H. S. Our ambition was to be graduated under that famous label, to be a part of the great body of Alumni that the school boasts. This was not to be so, however, but on the contrary we are to be the first to leave the school under the new label, I. H. S. We have but little regret for the change, because we realize this to be the turning point in the progress of the school. For a generation M. C. H. S. has been steadily advancing until now she can leap forward in longer strides, and we feel that the changing of the name is the signal for the great advance forward. Many things go to prove this. Our faculty has increased. Our student body outnumbers all previous enrollments and a greater interest is being shown in education itself. But now we are leaving and memories crowd our brain. Perhaps we see a gridiron looming before us. In the distance we see two dim lines and through the dusty haze we recognize the majestic colors of ORANGE AND BLACK. Faintly to our ears come the signals, then, with a mighty rush, we see our warriors crossing the goal line. A great shout goes up, then, all is still. Or, perhaps we hear the distant tolling of the bell and our blood thrills, for to us the sounding of that bell is the token of victory. But all those things are gone now and we face the trials of life. We are on the border of a new begin- ring, the turning point in our lives, and a false move might prove fatal. But we do not start blindly. We keenly realize our situation and we are just as determined as ever to succeed. We hope to be just as good citizens as we were students, to enter our daily duties with as much determination and grit as we did our football and other athletics, to live and let live and help one arfother daily. So now we leave with several great objects in viewg to stand for ihat which is right, to defend the weak and breathe the free air of Ucmivcracy, to be ideal citizens. Thus will we start on the great adventure. For tho' from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar.

This is one body of men we seldom see as a body official though they are seen frequently at their various places of business. But we know enough to understand that they constitute the governing force of the city schools, are all eminently successful as busiess men, and are decidedly public spirited. Thus we can approach the matter of writing a word about our Board of Education. 'These gentlemen have not only their own affairs to attend to but there is an unusually large amount of public business to be administered. Their duties this year are more extensive and more exacting than they were last year, and it is not unlikely that the next few years will lay even 'greater burdens upon them. iTheir reward will be measured almost wholly by the use the boys and girls make of the abundant opportunities offered by these splendid schools. This year they have the added weight of the High School to carry, and the new Junior to be built. Next year the entire High School system must be revised and run to suit the new conditions. While the im-mediate management devolves upon the superintendent and the principals, still the Board is the base upon which all these operations are worked out. They are the combined executive and legislative system, and ultimately to them we look for that strong, rational ba-cking an aggressive super- intendent and his teachers must have in order in insure the highest type of success. Not only are these gentlemen good business and professional men but they are men of pleasing personality. We sin-cerely hope we will not be misunderstood if we call your attention to the fine group shown on the page opposite. This, as you will readily observe, includes not only the members of our Board of Education but their co-worker, our super- intendent, Mr. Risdon. It is not flattery to say you cannot find a finer group pictured in any book. We think it crudely stating a fact. The class is in hearty accord with our Annual staff in their dedication of this number of The 'Orange and Black to these gentlemen. Eleven Orange and Black 1922 t lndependence High School The Function of 0 High School It is our ambition to make the Independence High School serve the needs of the 'boys and girls to the fullest possible extent. At no time in the life of youth, is opportunity more important or the dividends on right teaching greater. The high school age is the sorting out, the testing per- iod. We should here discover the ambitions, the tastes, the capabilities of each individual student and so manipulate his environment, so direct his thinking, so adapt courses of study to him as to guarantee the richest re- wards. Not only must this institution fully meet the needs of the boys and girls who will enter college, but it must just as completely, just as def- initely prepare that larger group who enter the various activities in the arena of life. It must do its utmost to store his mind with useful knowl- edge, to develop and discipline all his faculties, inspire confidence in his powers, broaden his mental vision, elevate and crystallize his ideals, develop habits of social service and enrich his personality by the associations of broad minded, well poised, sympathetic men and women. An unhappy person is never an efficient individual. Nature so organ- ized us that it is only when we find joy in our work that our faculties func- tion to their full capacity. So the atmosphere of the school must be friendly, cordial, sympathetic, that optimism and happiness characterize the whole student body. School is not only a preparation for life, it is a vital sector of life itself. Most of the characteristics that prevail in man- hood are here acquired: habits become fixed, aims and purposes solidify. Here the keen diagnostician of human nature can quite accurately foretell Whether the youth promises to become an asset or a liability to society. Such fundamental qualities as industry, perseverance, straight thinking, tenacity of purpose, reliable judgment, and the like are clearly present or wanting. The floater of the school is pretty sure to be the driftwood of society. Society doesn't look upon the school as a charity and can reasonably expect it to be a dividend paying investment in the essential qualities of efficient citizenship. The recipient of the opportunities thus provded by pufblic taxation should pay back in service many times what it has cost to educate him. He should prove an efficient producer in whatever field of endeavor he may enter. Education is not for ease but for labor of the most effective type. It should not represent energy working at cross pur- poses, but energy organized, skilled, dire-cted so as to function in construc- tive enterprises. The more numerous and complicated life's demands become, the more extended and diversified must be the opportunities offered in the schools. It is our ambition to make the institution which is the finishing school for the masses meet to the fullest extent the demands of the hour. C. S. RISDON, Superintendent of Schools. T l a at Oranqe and Black 1922 e Independence High School ' '1 Supf. C. S. Risdon Principal S. M. Nees Orange and Black 1922 g A Independence High School THE FACULTY MR. RISDON, City Superintendent. There are few if any pupils in our school who were born when C. S. Risdon became Superintendent of the schools of Independence. None of us ever had classes with him. Few of us ever were brought upon the carpet before him. Yet there are few of us who are not acquainted with him and rejoice to know that the acquaintance is more or less mutual. We think of him as a very busy man, work- ing for the best interests of the boys and girls, yet at the same time able to see a fellow and learn his troubles if need be, or rejoice in his triumphs. Mr. Risdon is not only Superintendent of one of the best city schools in Kansas, but his skill and untiring eiorts have gone very far toward creating that high standard. He is active in club and civic work of the city, is presiding oflicer of the next Teachers' Association of Southeastern Kansas meeting at Parsons, and an active member of the Board of Directors of the State Teacher's Associationg and it's all for the kiddies. In Mr. Risdon's eye there's nothing too good for his thousands of boys and girls. MR. NEES, Principal. The work of S. M. Nees extends back to the time beyond which the memory of most Independence people runneth not. Throughout the years of his administra- tion he has kept in close touch with world ,affairs and with the business, vocational, social and religious life of the people whom he has so faithfully served. Mr. Nees is a tireless worker, and is strictly attentive to duty's call. We cannot imagine his shirking any task imposed upon him. Along with his school labors he has for years -been the efficient Treasurer of the State Teachers' Association, and, too, he has made some enviable records in baseball, tennis, bowling and golf. His motto seems to be, 'tKeep your eye on the ball. He is an ideal -high school principal. MR. CASTILLO, Assistant Principal. I. H. S. is fortunate in having for assistant principal so able a man as E. J. Castillo. He is the able instructor in Agriculture and Biological sciences. At the same time he is faculty advisor to the Annual Staff, a position held by him ever since the work of the first Annual was organized. He is a good worker-and says he enjoys teaching above all other work. Not only is he a teacher but he seems always to be ready to assume the responsibilities of principal whenever -that duty falls upon him. MISS PATERSON. To be a man without a country would be only about half as bad as to hold a debate without Miss Paterson. Miss Paterson's specialty is English and she is a most capable person for that line of work. As a driller of debate teams she has shown herself time and again to be one of the most capable in this part of the state. Not only does she handle the Senior English work but she supervises the work of the Y. W. and finds great pleasure in her administration. MR. REAL. Mr. Bea1's ability as Athletic Director is Well indicated by the number of cups won for our school. His teams have been the pride of the school not only because they win, ibut they are always trained to be, above all else, real ladies and gentlemen. We are counting on having B. O. B. with us again next year to lead our teams to even greater victories. He seems not to care for girls, -but he may some day care for a girl. And when a lady's in the case, why, all other things give place, for awhile. MISS STEVENS. Miss Helen K. Stevens is one of our able instructors in Mathematics, and not only is she well grounded in her subjects but she gets and gives great 'pleasure as a teacher. As a side study she has a 7th hour class in Physiology and is a very capable critic of the I. H. S. Student. And do you know, this strict and accomplished in- structor is a very pleasing person, and you should have her accompany you on your next class hikes or picnic excursions. MISS INGLEMAN. We learn upon excellent authority that Miss Ingleman has deliberately cast Fourteen sim Orange and Black 1922 ' a Anna Patterson Louise Evans Independence High School E. J. Castillo Anna A. Ingleman .6-5 V .15-FR' F it Louise Russell W. L. Newell Orange and Black 1922 Georgie Brown less 0 P. Stewart Lucile Otto . lndependence HiqhbSchool aside some fine propositions in order to remain in the teaching profession. I. H. S. receives the benefit. Seldom a pupil of hers is found who has anything but praise for Anna Ingleman. For years she was the Freshman's friend, a title she earned by her kindly offices -to Freshman, or any others as to that. Now she organizes and directs our class plays and Oral English productions. Her pupils draw a full house, too. MISS LOUISE RUSSELL Only a few years ago Miss Russell came into our school, but she tits in so completely that it seems she has always been a part of it. She was mistaken for a high school pupil when she first came, but she has demonstrated her claim to being a college graduate in her teaching experience with us. Her work is English and she is one of the afble critics of The Student. We are sorry to learn she was not an applicant for reelection, but certainly wish her unlimited success wherever she may choose to work. I MRS. BALI.. Mrs. Eva Ball was for several years one of our best grade teachers. As a high school teacher she is just as successful to say the least, and is a much sought after school marm by her pupils. Being a sort of all 'round teacher she was given the work in Physical Geography along with the English and enjoys teaching them both. We regret that she was not an applicant for reelection. . MRS. SI-IIVE. One of the most useful members of the faculty is a good Study Hall Supervisor. Mrs. Agnes Shive fills the bill in every respect. She is of a class graduated in recent years, knows the tendencies of kids in a crowd, and both sympathizes with them and holds them level. We wish she were going to be with the school next year for we know some freshmen who will be here for the first time and would like to meet her,-will need to meet her or someone who understands study hall tactics. ' MISS HENDERSON. When we got too numerous for ordinary bounds to hold us. we simply over- flowed into the Auditorium. Miss Edith Henderson was chosen to herd the overflow crowd and she has been very successful at the job. She has also been a sort of Secretary, keeping daily records from teachers' reports, and otherwise assisting in office Work. One reason she enjoys chorus is that she gives up the room the fourth hour. She prefers to rule by love, and her room is never a place of sadness. MISS PEARL RUSSELL When our patient and efficient Librarian, Miss Cooper, left us last fall, we were quite fortunate in securing the services of Pearl Russell, a graduate of M. C. H. S. and one trained in the handling and use of a good library. Miss Russell isn't very large, but she is good looking, helpful and patient. Some of the boys forgot at Hrst that she wasn't a pupil, and were about-but then she headed that off all right. No dates. MISS OTTO. When War, mad war threatened civilization, Lucile Otto, a product of M. C. H. S., willingly offered her services, was accepted, and was an army nurse in America and Europe. Those of us who know of her Red Cross work and of her work in this school have a well defined idea .that her work was Well and con- scienciously done in those awful days. Her classes are quite interesting and every girl enrolled feels today that she has received full measure of value for her time in class and study. Why cannot we boys go to school to Miss Otto? MR. NEWVELL, Principal of the Lincoln. Versatility personified, a happy medium between the clown and the sage! If industry, study and meditation make a teacher and leader he is it. A veritable Napoleon as an organizer. an Eli Perkins as a story teller and sometimes Wilson in his faculty meetings. However, since his marriage recently he is not nearly so autocratic as formerly. Sic sempcr tyrannis. MISS BURNS. l In common with certain famous people, Miss Burns has many attributes.

She is fond of saying, t'A1inost all great characters have red hair! ,Miss Burns enjoys the distinction of being the only charter member left at the Lincoln building. She has planted herself upon the job and who is able to move her? Nobody Wishes to move her. N , MISS BROWN. In the grand and glorious state that has the honor of being Miss Georgia Brown's birthplace, the auto supplements the horse, the eighteenth amendment has destroyed another of the state's characteristics, but Miss' Brown continues to be the example of the last and most important member of the trite trio that makes Kentucky famous- Fine horses, good whisky, pretty women. She is a line product of the old M. C. H. S. Neither trifles annoy nor perplexities disturb the calm serenity of her quiet manner. She teaches most when she teaches not at all- un- conscious influence. MISS MILLER. Miss Miller, is a graduate of M. C. H. S. and has a way of pleasing every- body. She is a lady of many words, but few of them are chosen. Ever talking, ever walking I As life goes along, And her voice, while it is thrilling Is not always raised in song. Age cannot wither nor custom stale her inrfinite variety. MISS GILMAN. Atchison grows some tall ones and some nice ones, too. Potato Hill is a great spot, anyway. So when this school drew Miss Lois Gilman to teach us boys and girls in Latin we came out ahead . Her knowledge of the foundation principles of the language she teaches, and her understanding of the trials of the student of Latin makes Miss Gilman a sympathetic teacher and so gives her plenty to do. She is Sophomore advisor and it is part of her job to lead us in Cha-pel singing. No function of a social nature is complete unless she has entertained with at least one solo. MISS LAKE. We used to think in this city that it took a man to teach History and Econom- ics. It does. But then a woman can do it, too. Miss Lake can and she has large classes in both subjects. She is quite a jolly young pedagogue and a few times has frightened her boys by saying, Now, if you love me don't say that again. After the 'first shock the young fellow kind of wishes she would repeat it, but somehow she doesn't repeat that particular lesson. MISS SPRADLING. Helen Spradling is a graduate of the high school of this place-fnever attended any but Independence schools till she wenlt to college. That is why she is such a thorough teacher. She has one fault, however, she will throw her pocketbook or hat down anywhere about the building and try to recall the spot later. She teaches a variety of good old H. S. subjects and coaches the Girls' basketball teams besides. She does such splendid work at coaching that her girls found only one girls' team in the league that could beat them. Her pet name is Penny. No one knows why, so you needn't inquire. MISS STAPLES. Miss Staples descended upon us last fall and dived imuiediately into the work assigned her. She is very enthusiastic and is also said to entertain some very pos- itive notions as to the conduct of school work. Added to her class duties is an- other one, Faculty Advisor to the Juniors, a position she fills with great credit. Not only is she a student and a teacher, but she is efli-cient in athletics. MR. DAVIS. i When Rex Davis, an ex-service man, struck this town he hit it to teach Math- he Physical Sciences. His opportunity came last summer einatics if he couldn't get t and he was assigned to his favorite department. Mr. Davis is a fine teacher of lfliprh teen AEj,,5.QQi,.g4l::iQ5L, :.:Li:L and :daisy ,,,, MEF. lt il' it uf ,l- 'li ll l, bi, lit lit t , l ,lv ll .M ,ll Ill My M it ll ,,1' ,t Ml, ll, at 1 vu i, It t t ,L ll x l, it lv l ti, U ll ,J ll 15 lu l ll ll' 4,3 ll lf I all ly ti ll 131' Independence High School Helen Spradling' M.

Mathematics, but is probably more successful in Physics and Chemistry. He takes us upon all sorts of scientific investigations, and explains a multitude of natural phenomena to us in a clear manner. He is now the only Faculty member who takes lunch at the school building. MISS 0'BRIEN. Miss O'Brien is a product of -this high school and of at least two universities. Not only is she a thorough student of English, but speaks and teaches nicely both the Sipanish and French, and probably could do as well with German. A young woman of sound judgment she is often sought for advice on matters connected with the school. We may be mistaken, we hope we are-but we believe she will not be with us again. ' MR. BERRY. 4 M. S. Berry is the good looking .ex-service young man who holds down room 7. His classes are large. His vacant hours are full. His lunch hour is disturbed. His telephone rings uninterruptedly. There is no escape for Berry and no one in par- ticular is to blame, for he is a good man in a good position, and the school is for- tunate. Along with his duties as teacher he is Faculty Advisor to the Freshmen and now Freshmen get their dues. MISS STEWART. When the United States entered the World War, Jessie P. Stewart gave up her position in M. C. H. S. and volunteered for service with the government. She was accepted and did important work at Washington, D. C. The war over and a vacancy having occurred in her former position she was called back and is, as formerly, the very eflicient teacher of Office Practice, Stenography and Typewriting, and Chief Critic of The Student. There is no loud noise where Miss Stewant holds forth, but there is some very acceptable work being done there. MR. BAKER. J. J. Baker was born in Kentucky, raised in Bourbon County, Kans,, graduated in Lying County and then came to Walnut to teach their little ones. Mr. Baker is a jolly good teacher and makes 'Bookkeeping quite an intresting subject for his boys and girlsq He enjoys being a teacher above all callings but wouldn't mind at all beinga farmer. MISS BROWN. K. S. A. C. is a good school as we've often been told, but Miss Brown is proof suilicient. Her department is Domestic Science and she is right there at cooking time. O Boy! but she can do some artistic stunts. And she is teaching our girls to prepare some of the most delectable stuff imaginable. Miss Brown gets all our vote for reelection. MISS CLARK. Miss Clark, of the Domestic Art department, is another most excellent proof that Kansas has a good Agricultural college. Her classes are over-flowing with pretty girls but any time you are permitted to carry a phone call down there you ,find them very busy and much interested. We are not a good judge of Women's toggery, but we have Orville Davis' word and he says that the Art girls have a 'fine chance to learn sewing and planning. So Miss Clark also gets all our vote for reelection. MISS EVANS. Miss Louise Evans was well known in Independence as the successful director of Music in the high school when we Seniors entered the institution. Every year since we have been here she has accomplished something worth while in her line, and judging from decisions of good judges she is one of the 'best directors of chorus and glee club organizations in southern Kansas. As a teacher of piano she excells, and her special voice teaching is of a superior quality. MR. WOOD. Mr. C. R. Wood, our popular instructor in Manual Arts, was graduated from this high school, continued his studies at Pittsburg, was a World War service man, Twenty Orange and Black 1922 c ees 'lndependence High School S Bert O. Beal Frances Staples and found his wife at Lyons, Kans. Mr. Wood is said to be as accomplished a. pianist as he is woodworker, but we have never yet heard him in Chapel. His boys turn out some very fancy pieces that seem ,to be about as fine articles as much costly stuff found at our furniture stores. NIR. GOEPFERT. When we were kids in the grades Paul Goepfert came to Independence from Chicago to lead the city band. We recall thinking he must be a big man for the place if he came from Chicago and we have had no occasion yet to think otherwise. He found here a sentiment strong for music, and that sentiment he has religiously cultivated. Hiss skill at training boys bands in considered wonderful. If Mr. Geopfert doesn't leave till we tell him to go, won't he stay a while? Lingering Memories Who always sits in room three the while Who always goes right there with a smile? It's Penny. In trouble where can we always go? Always to one, who'll help us just so? It's Penny. Who coached and trained us in basketball, Stood by us in victory, defeat and all? It's Penny. And if to me in after years Someone should say, It now appears It's the real sport the World reveres, It's Penny. For I'd recall each High School day And then I'm sure, I'd quickly say, If ever a sport has come my way, It's Penny. -Marvel Tharp, 22 'Twenty-one Orange and Black 1922 Independence Hiqh School . . l Home Nursing C-lass U The Home Nursing Course M. C. H. S. was one of the very first schools in the state to take advan- tage of the training and experience of our country's famous war nurses. Many of these young women are not only trained nurses but good teachers. So it seemed to thoughtful school men the Wise thing to do to secure their services in connection with school room Work. The practicability of the scheme so strongly apealed to Mr. Nees that he lost no time in establishing in M. C. H. S. the Home Nursing course. The success of the move attests the Wisdom of the action. .Miss Lucile Otto, the instructor, is a graduate of M. C. H. S. She is a registered nurse having taken training at St. Luke's, Kansas City, and post graduate work in Chicago. Later she spent a year in France as Red Cross Nurse. She has been connected With the Red Cross Work in Inde- pendence ever since returning from overseas service, and with this insti- tution ever since the inauguration of the Home Nursing course. Miss Otto is a valuable addition to this faculty of excellent instructors. One of the essential purposes of the course is to fit girls to safeguard their own health and to help give nursing care to others. Some of the subjects taught are: Care of Babies and childreng Emergency Medicines and other remediesg Equipment and care of rooms of the sickg and the handling of victims of accidents. Almost any subject concerning the care of the sick and the preservation of health is discussed in class room. .So far seventy-five girls have completed the course and have received the Red Cross Certificate. -Vivian Hamilton 23 Twenty-two R Orange and Black 1922 4 independence High School . ll The Departments THE SCIENCES-Those taught in I. H. S. are: Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Physiology, Physiography, General Science and Agriculture. In all classes double periods twice a week are used excepting in Physiology, General Science and Physi- ography. Frequent trips are taken by these various classes to study buildings, fac- tories, farms, equipment, machinery and plants of the community. Notes are kept and studied in class, conclusions are drawn, and reviews taken from these accounts. ENGLISH-The work in English is extensive and thorough. The time and effort of five excellent instructors are given to this broad suibject, and the stacks of essays, poems, narratives, reviews and quizzes make the task seem appalling at a glance. But it is not appalling. No terror darkens the hours of teachers or pupils. On the contrary the task is generally undertaken with confidence and com- pleted with satisfaction, FOREIGN-We are now offering Latin, Spanish and French in this course, and 220 of our students enrolled in the classes this term. The teachers are es- pecially well trained and those pupils whom they grant 'passing grades are as a rule well grounded in the rudiments of these languages. They know something about relating this knowledge to the use of our own language also. HISTORY-Time flies, the world moves, and our own day is the culmination of Myriad events. Hence we tlnd Ancient, Medieval, and Modern events and their causes and effects, General History, English History, American History taught to our various classes. In addition to these Civics and Economics are studied with special bearing upon our own affairs and conditions. NORMAL TRAINING-Few if any professions or callings are of more im- portance than that of the teacher. Training the child and the youth in such a way as to develop the useful citizen is a serious undertaking and no unskilled labor should ever be employed at the task. For many years our school has conducted in a very creditable manner a Normal course and scores of useful teachers have been trained in the institution. COMMERCIAL-This high school offers a course in business principles and conduct that is rarely excelled, even by any business colleges. Of the thirty-two credits given in this course, sixteen are strictly business, while the remainder cor- relate well with them and not only broaden the horizon of the pupil but assist him to perceive the fitness into each other of the various business relations of mankind. Our graduates adapt themselves readily to new situations. VOCATIONAII-Of the many things that make our school popular with 'patrons not the least are Manual Training -and Domestic Arts and Sciences. In fact they are among the very popular courses offered, and the passing years seem to increase this popularity. I-llad we the room we could use well more than twice the teaching force we now employ. ' PHYSICAL TRAIINING-This feature of our instruction has for years been a popular one, but not until recent years has it been reduced to a science with our school. Since we have had a regular system of coaching interest has been greatly increased. Independence is on the map. The ma-p knows it, too. Twice a week training in the gymnasium besides athletic contests will soon make strong, self- reliant men and women of our energetic boys and girls. MUSIC-We are coming in music. Although we have been second in the League for three consecutive years the fact still remains that we are probably as well trained in music as the winner. Instruction is in both vocal and instru- mental music. Good singing, good band, good orchestra, good piano playing-we are proud of our attainments along all these lines. LIBRARY-As a very valuable aid to all phases of high school work, as a practically indispensible feature of the whole system, we cannot forget our library. In connection with the librarian we e111ploy the services of two others, our study hall teachers. These three members of our faculty have very trying positions to till, but they have acquitted themselves nicely.

With this in view you can see one of the reasons for the il fi success of the class of twenty-two. It has always been the custom to fol- low the leadersip of our superiors, but in this case some of us would find gil it rather embarrassing to follow the suit of our president and plunge into Twenty-six ill -4-affff Grange and Black 1922 1i?o'T-554-i1 '1' js, J-:WW ,.-.: 2 Independence High School the depths of despair,-no! matrimony. But even with this handicap we can truthfully say that we are the largest class Cand we think the best classj that ever graduated from I. H. S., having only one exception in the former M. C. H. S. We, the Seniors have succeeded in introducing many things that here-to-fore have been unknown in the daily routine of the school, and not only this but in the usual events that took place, we have come out with colors flying. The social affairs, planned and carried out by us were a decided success, and as to the athletic side of senior life we were the shining star. For did we not win the inter-class track meet with nearly double the points made by the Juniors? And not only in track but in other events the Seniors participated with equal success. Then during the year twenty-two, the I. H. S. Student also made its debut into the life of the high school and had as its editor a member of our class. As for tacky day the play put on by the Seniors in chapel was a howling success in more ways than one. So now we ask you, why shouldn't we feel proud of our class? And for this reason we choose as our motto In aquam vitae, meaning Into the Sea of Life, and hope that we will be able to plunge into this sea and rise above as successfully, as we did into the affairs of the high school. So with this aim in view, we, the Seniors, of nineteen hundred-twenty-two, bid I. H. S. adieu! -Virginia Cook '22. Farewell---Class Poem 1 When the very last class has recited And all the exams are done, When we've written long hours on the Annual And at last our victory's won, We shall pause, and think for a moment Of things that are far---far back, Of the days when we've been loyal To the banner, Orange and Black. 2 We enlisted in '18 as Freshmen As green as they make 'em, too, But nothing could dampen our spirits Or halt this adventurous crew, And the spirit of game, true flhters. Has guided us through the breeze As we held to the course nor faltered In calm or in troubled seas. 3 And now as we think of commencement And know that the time is near, There comes the sorrow of leaving The friends that we hold so dear. That they may be true to the high school And hold her standard high, Is the cherished hope of the Seniors As we bid them all good-bye. --Bill Renc 22. S-E-N-I-0-R-S Seniors, Seniors, Yes! Yes! Yes!

The Charxn School One of the great school events is the Senior Play. This year's play, The Charm School, is a play with all the characteristics of an interest- ing plot, charming girls, still more charming men and very un- charm- ing teachers. I Walter Loftus, the hero, deserves special mention. Walter had no previous training in dramatic work, but he seems absolutely at home in the part of Mr. Bevans. Skeet may yet make Wally Reid take second place as a captivator of the fair sex. Miss Betty Burke as Elise Bendotti captivates by her vivacity and irresistible charm and Sally CRuth Ingram! and George Boyde fFor- rest Geckelerb are a combination of fun and high spirits that creates all the necessary excitement. We hope Doyle Hooper will not always be as stern and gruff as when he is Mr. Johns. The twins, Kenneth Leech and Paul Truman and the teachers, Helen Scott and Marie Pitts, afford excellent contrasts. In fact the entire cast does exceedingly Well. Much of the success of the play is due to the splendid coaching of Miss Ingleman, assisted by Miss Spradling. Miss Ingleman again proves her ability as a coach in the choice of her characters and the way in which the characters respond.

The Junior-Senior Banquet Of the many events toward which a pupil of our high school looks forward, few if any offer more enticing anticipations than the annual banquet given by the Juniors to the graduating Seniors. This is a day of real sport, the thrill that comes once in a life time. At this function the outgoing students are splendidly greeted, lavishly entertained, and sincerely cheered along the way by the incoming Seniors. At 6:30 Wednesday evening, May 3, began one of the finest banquets ever given by the Juniors, according to teachers who have been here several years. Not even our banquet last year excelled it. None unless the War banquet given to the class of '19 has excelled this year's function in earnestness shown in preparation, perfection of menu, tastefulness of decorations, excellence of service, fitness of speeches, and uniformity of good will. The Juniors are good hosts, the Seniors fine guests. Le Ray Spradling, Buster for short, was Toastmaster and did the part in good shape. He fittingly introduced each speaker in his turn, and as the speeches were all good the evening passed rapidliy. Mr. Nees was the last speaker and made a most interesting talk on Seriousness and Success. We were all sorry Superintendent 'Risdon could not be with us, espec- as he was to speak on Retrospect and Prospect. However, we know that Mr. Risdon's best wishes were with us. The Program must be seen in print to be appreciated. Class Dag Plug MACBETH A LA MODE CAST OF CHARACTERS Manager .,..................,............... ..................,.,................,.......

Z o ra Rigss Junior Class Hisforg On a warm July afternoon, in the year 1952, two people, seated in the shade on a lawn were taking respite from the heat in the cooling breezes and enjoying a cool drink from a nearby fountain. One was a successful business man in the prime of his life, the other a neatly dressed woman of great renown in the Women's business world. They had been classmates when attending I. H. S. in 1922 and had not met since their graduation in '23, Soon they were recalling incidents of their High School life. What wonderful times we enjoyed in High School especially during our Junior year in 1922. This as I recall it was the first year of the new I. H. S., the woman was remarking as she gazed toughtfully away toward the west Where the blazing sun was beginning to sink. Forty-four Orange and Black 1922 ee Independence High School . Yes, replied the man, How proud We were of our class affairs and of the exploits of any Junior individual. Our class we believed was by far the best in school. We had nine sturdy heroes on the football team, five of whom received letters. Tiny Meyers, a Junior husky, was elected captain for '23, In basketball, too, there were fast players on the squad that were Juniors. The track captain, Henry Speer was a Junior and many other mainstays of the track team were Juniors. We took second in the Inter- class track meet held before the selection of the school team. Both of the school cheer leaders were Juniors. It seems to me as I look back, that the Junior class was the life of the High School, being leaders in nearly every school activity. The man's face wore a wistful expression as he thought of the happy days spent in I. H. S. long ago. All you have said is true, responded the woman, but you have not told all yet. In girls basketball We were strongly represented. There were fifteen Junior boys and girls in the vocal music work and thirteen in the orchestra and band. One of the boys on the male quartet was a Junior, two of the girls on the girls' quartet were Juniors. Besides these, there were two Junior girls on the Y. W. C. A. cabinet and three boys on the Y. M. C. A. cabinet. The presidents for both organization for the next year were elected from the Junior class. We must not forget our fine debate teams. Of nine debaters, six were Juniorsg four girls and two boys. There were seven Junior boys and girls on the I. H. S. Student staff and their efforts went far to make it a success. , Socially, too, our class was a great success. Under our organization we carried out all business in an orderly manner and with dispatch. All class meetings were well attended and great interest was shown by the members in class activities. Besides our class meetings, we enjoyed three social events during the year. One was a' Tacky Party, and the second was a truck ride over town, followed by a picnic at the stock pavilion. If a merrier crowd ever had a more rollicksome time I've never heard of it. The third and greatest was the Junior-Senior banquet on May 3rd, How we did work and plan to make it a success. The Seniors voted that it was a real affair, too. We all had good days during our Senior H. S. yearg but our Junior year was far the best. We were as privileged as the Seniors but did not have to worry about Senior finals, class play, commencement and all the other things that make the last year hard, to say nothing of being free from answering the great question, What next? that faces every Senior on finishing High School. Nao, I will never forget nor cease to en- joy, the memory of the happy days spent as Juniors in I. H. S. year 1922.9 The sun sank slowly in the west. The twilight advanced and the shadows depened. Long the two still sat silent, musing-each wrapped in thoughts of the happy times long past. 1 -Earl Hussong, fPresidentD.

W a y ne Harris The Sophomore Class The sophomore class of 1921-22 has the honor of being me largest of any of the classes in the history of the school. Its numbers were so large that it was necessary to supply another teacher of English at the begin- ning of the school year. Only a few of the sophomores had come to this school during their freshman year. As a consequence the sophomores were as bad as the freshmen at the beginning of the first term in trying to find the rooms. Mr. Nees, however, willingly gave information and explanation in chapel, and the Y. W. C. A. girls were kind enough to station themselves at certain parts of the halls for the purpose of giving information. The lessons which the teachers assigned were another difliculty of the class. which must not be forgotten. These lessons seemed to be mountains unableto be climbed. Now, however, as the sophomores look back upon them, they seem footsteps that led to the happiness which has now been obtained. i This year's sophomores have made a very good showing in the musical side of the school. The greater portion of our fine I. H. S. orchestra and l4'n1'ty-sew-11 sf Orange and Black 1922 f ...ef Independence High School . . an lndependence High School s A band consist of sophomores, while a large number were members of the glee clubs, the chorus, and the quartets. Individuals have performed in chapel as accompanists and otherwise. The sophomores are very proud of their musical ability. Moreover they have also taken creditable part in many of the dramatic performances given in chapel. Members have also participated with interest in the athletic perform- ances of the school. Laurel Heiser and Niles Smith, sophomores, were two of the foot-ball letter men. There was also a large number of sopho- mores on the second team, and there were several of them on this second basketball team also. Donna Krueger was in most of the games which the girls' basketball team played. An informal party, a formal party, and a picnic comprise the social events of the year. There is a large number of sophomores who are members of the Y. W. C. A. and the Hi-Y. In the recent Y. W. C. A. membership campaign several sophomores joined, two of them have already become cabinet members. The sophomore class has a large honor roll. The following persons are those who received an average of 90 or above in all subjects during the first term: John Antener, Grace Hamlin, Viola Arrington, Wayne Harries, iirst term: John Antener, Grace Hamlin, Viola Arrington, Wayne Harris, Brewster, Donna Krueger, Marion Brown, Goldie La Force, Helen Cornell, Vera Lolley, Kenneth Cornell, Helen Dittmer, Oriel Mears, Lucile Dun- ning, Edith Melugin, Vivian Fansler, Caryl Murphy, Ethel Gilreath, Carl Niemeyer, Morna Zell Wagstaff. The members of this year's Sophomore Class have been members of an excellent class, and hope to be members of an equally good Junior Class in the coming year.

It marks the passing of the old M C and substitutes therefor the HI and this substitution gives to the High School the largest Freshman class in the history of the insti- tution. In numbers there is consolation. Our claim to honors is not based alone upon the size of the class. We are as great in loyalty as we are large in numbers, and for real school spirit and for being keenly alive and full of pep at all social and athletic events we claim to be second to none-leaders, not followers. The Glee club, under the direction of Miss Richardson assisted by Miss Miller, consisting of twenty-four girls has appeared several times during the school year, and each timescored a hit. The Freshman English classes presented this year, for the annual play Jimmie's Aunt Jane. The play was well chosen, being one that has often been put on by college students and more experienced dramatists but never better given than by the carefully selected Freshman bunch of this year's class.

The play was staged by the Freshman English Classes at theBeldorf Theater and was coached by Miss Treva Miller who is indeed a very capable director. The plot deals with college life and is full of complications, excitement and laughs. From the beginning, the audience was held and many pronounced it the best Freshman production they had ever witnessed. The cast was large, the scenery appropriate, and the costumes were in harmony. Every little- detail was well worked out and the production was a real success. CAST OF CHARACTERS Scotch McAllister ,,.,.,..,,....i,,.....,.,,.... ,,.....,...,..,,....,,,..,..,..,,,...

H. S. has been most fortunate in having two cheer leaders who could always be depended upon. In order for leaders to have an audience it was necessary for them to be attractive, intelligent and witty. Thus was selected Miss Venus Jones and Mr. Lee Troutman. Miss Jones was especially adapted for attracting the boys to practice while Mr. Lee Troutman was a human magnet for the sweet little girls. In this way we acquired the best two cheer leaders the school has ever known. They supplied the pep and the school won the victories. They did their best and the school is proud of them. THE FOOTBALL BAN QUETS For several years it has been the custom to entertain the football squad with a feed, This year was no exception and the football players were given two fine Banquets. The first banquet was given for the letter men onlyg while the second entertained the entire football squad. At these occasions many noted speeches were delivered that will go down in history as equals to Lincoln's Gettysburg address. Fat Prescott burst forth with an extraordinary amount of eloquence and was heartily ap- plauded. A picture of the squad was also presented to Mr. Beal as a token of the team's good will. There is an old saying that: the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Thus the domestic science departments have won their way into the hearts of not only the football squad, but other students as well as faculty members. The food was delicious, the decorations were beautiful and the service incomparable. The banquets, on the whole, were a hunger killing suc- cess. P. S.-Ask any football man about drinking Orange Nectar with a spoon. Fifty-seven i' Orange and Black 1922 a me -- lndependence High School lat eral 1921 Football Review The prospects for a successful season were indeed bright, when about fifty-five gridiron candidates responded to Coach Beal's invitation to come out for the first practice. Ten of the eighteen letter men of last year were back again with us this year. From this material, through gruell- ing practice, Coach Beal moulded one of the best teams in the state. The opening game of the season was played here with the Nowata High School. The visiting team had a heavier line of defense, and had already played several games. But the game ended in a tie and the visi- tors were compelled to return home disappointed, by not adding another victory to their laurels. The second encounter was with Caney. We always expect a close contest when we play at Caney and, although I. H. S. won by four touch- downs, it was a hard fought game from beginning to end. On two dif- ferent occasions Caney advanced to our twelve yard line, but lacked the necessary punch to put the oval across the goal line. The game was a decided victory for us, ending 26 to 0. Neodesha gave the local team and rooters a real scare by their un- usually fierce line of attacks. They scored the first touchdown but soon afterwards our boys had pushed the pigskin across their goal line and tied the score. Later in the game we succeeded in scoring another touch- down but failed to kick the goal, which ended the scoring for either side and when the final whistle blew the score was N. H. S. 7, I. H. S. 13. The third V. V. L. game was played at Oswego, which was an easy victory for I. H. S. Although several of our regulars were on the sick list, still we came out on top, by a score of 41 to 0. Fredonia was next to contest the ability of our warriors. They came with the idea of taking home the bacon, but our men went in with the same pep, confidence and determination, which they showed throughout the season and slipped one over on F. H. S. by a score of 42 to 3. Skeet was the star of the day. He intercepted a pass, and made a 60 yard run for a touchdown. The next victim for Captain Skeet's squad was Cherryvale, which was an easy victory resulting in a score of 34 to 0. There was little loss Fifty-eight c Oranqe and Black 1922 - lndependence High School e- of blood on either side, but Booger received a slightly bruised leg dur- ing the battle. Next we defeated Labette County High School at Altamont 48 to 0. A feature of the game was the support which a group of Altamont men gave, by rooting. Organized rooting like that would be a credit to any school in the league. The next game was to have been played at Iola, but rain made it necessary for Iola to cancel the game. But lo! The feature game of the season approaches with a battle to take place on the local gridiron with our an-cient rival, Coffeyville. The Coffeyville men appeared on the field 30 minutes late but with 45 in uniform. However, it was soon to be seen that it would take many more to defeat our invincibles. The largest crowd that ever witnessed a football game in Montgomery county saw Coffey- ville go down to defeat by a score of 35 to 0. A very noticeable feature of this contest was the absence of our own coach from the field unless properly summoned. You've got to give it to Beal along many lines, but playing the game fair and square, victory or defeat, is his forte. In memory of the I. H. S. second team, otherwise known as scrubs, whose ever-present loyalty and faithfulness was so evident throughout the season, we dedicate this space. They played their first game with Elk City, Thursday, October 6, winning 6 to 0, Bus Spradling making the touchdown. The following week they played Coffeyville's second team winning 21 to O. They were also scheduled to play Thayer, November 19, but had to be cancelled on account of rain. This gave us an undefeated second team as well as a first. FOOTBALL RESULTS Sept. 24 ....

Oranqe and Black 1922 lndependence High School Girls, Basket Ball Tenin Girls' Basket Ball Team Marv's Wonders is an appropriate name for the girls' team of '22. They played a wonderful game for such a light Weight aggregation and their Captains name was Marvel. Their speed and ability made up for their small size. They showed that quality not quantity counts. The twenty-two season was a success as to wins and losses. Out ob ten games eight were victories and only two defeats. It was unfortunate that one of the games lost was the tie game for possession of the V. V. cup. Cherryvale was the only team able to win a victory from I. H. S. Six of this year's players were .Seniors and Elaine, Freda, Nora, Helen, Virginia and Marvel will be missed greatly in next year's line-up. The outlook is not hopeless, however, for there are six girls left who have kept up practice all season and will be in good shape to fill these vacant positions. Those who wore the Orange and Black this season were: Marvel Tharp, Virginia Cook, Venus Jones, forwards: Elaine Potts, Helen 'Tharp, Freda Dunbar, Florence Ruthrauff, centers, Nora Davidson, Helen Selleck, Nina Patterson, Donna Krueger, guards. Those who received letters are: Marvel, Virginia, Venus, Elaine, Freda, Nora, Helen and Donna.

Girls' Basket Ball Porky Perhaps one of the most enjoyable social functions of the year was the Girls' Basket Ball Valentine party given at the home of Miss Helen Spradling, 205 South Eleventh. The affair was staged in honor of the many victories achieved by the celebrating squad. The rooms were beautifully decorated and many novelty games were played during the evening. The guests were arrayed in costumes varying from Indian to Dukes and this feature alone was enough to make the party a success. The Personel: Hostesses: Miss Helen Spradling and the members of the Girls' Basket Ball team, Virginaa Cook, Marvel Tharp, Nora Davidson, Helen Selleck, Elaine Potts, Freda Dunbar, Florence Ruth- rauff, Kate Tilton, Donna Krueger, Katherine Loftus, Nina Patterson and Helen Tharp.

Allen Batchelor Heckert Beal Loftus Ryan Gecekeler Yoe Hooper Sewell Boys, Basketball The season of 1922 opened with good prospects for another champion- ship team. Practice began the week after Thanksgiving, with about thirty-five men reporting. It soon became necessary to reduce the squad to about fifteen men, but even then it was hard to select the best men for the different positions on the first team. The letter men of last year's squad who came out this season are: Captain Henry Heckert, Charles Yoe, Walter Loftus and Gaylord Tolin. Even though the others were not letter men, they were old hands at the game and did much towards making ours the championship team this year. The name Wampus Cats was taken at the beginning of the season and the team was known by that name afterwards. The final choice of the team was late in the seasong consequently there were a number of men who played in the first games who should be given due credit. The letter men of '22 are Captain Heckert, Raymond Batchelor, Walter Loftus, Charles Yoe, Doyle Hooper, Earl Allen, Leo Ryan, Ernest Sewell and Forrest Geckeler. Every letter man of '22 will Sixty-seven araiataalT iiiCCCiii wf?f2 Orange and Black 1922 Independence High School graduate so it will be necessary to build an entirely new team next year. All of the letter men and members of the squad displayed a real sports- manlike attitude during the season and all played the game in a very creditable manner but no doubt all will agree that the stalwart playing of Captain Henry Heckert deserves special mention and attention. Our Cap was always there with the goods and could be depended upon to play a good, consistent game both on defense and offense. Other men who deserve honorable mention are: Brady, Featherngill, Spradling, Tolin, F. Scott, Meyers, Mason, Brown and Niles Smith.

The letter men of last year's team who came out for track this year are: Henry Speer, Gaylord Tolin, Dwight Brown. Forrest Geckeler, Laurel Heiser, Gerald Townsell and Raymond Batche- lor. Besides these fellows there was much new material, about sixty men in all coming out. Something new for this school was the inter-class Track and Field Meet. This was postponed several time on account of the rainy season, but was finally held Wednesday and Thursday, April 12, 13. The purpose of this meet was two-fold: to create interest in track, and to help to discover the best material for the school teams which represented I. H. S. in a dual meet held with Parsons, Wednesday April 19. The Seniors won the meet with a total of 52 points, the Juniors were second with 31 points, the Sophomores third With 2215 points and the Freshmen last with 16112 points. A medal was presented to the high point man, Barney Martin, a banner to the winning class, and blue and red ribbons for first and second places in the events. As a result there was cchosen a team that Seventy Oranqe and Black 1922 - Independence High School made a wonderful record in its dual meet, winning from Parsons 80175 to 405.

Orange and Black 1922 ORCHESTRA g lndependence High School Music Review Realizing the importance of music as a necessary adjunct to a broad and liberal education, the students have manifested marked interest by taking part in the musical activities of the school. The work in both the vocal and instrumental departments has been a marked success. In fact this has become one of the strongest departments in the school. The third Annual Verdigris Valley Lea-gue Music Contest was held Friday March 24-, at the Beldorf theater. Eight high schools contested. I. H. S. won second place with two firsts and three seconds. The strong competition in the various numbers made the program very interesting, and the large audiences seemed very appreciative. The chorus sang By Babylon's Wave, by Gounod, and won first place. They received the highest grade given in the entire contest. The girls' quartet singing Sleepy Time by Collins took first place. We may feel proud of the quartet, considering the fact that all eight schools were entered in this number. The work of the boy's quartet was exceptionally good. They took second place with Sleep Ma Lil Pigeon by Fearis. This was the first year for the entrance of the orchestra in the league contest. Its rendition of Raymond Overture by Thomas was indeed a success, taking second place, although our grades showed us as tied with the winner of first place. Joe Fitzpatrick represented I. H. S. in boys' solo, singing Gems by Chaminade and Vernon Goepfert in violin solo, playing Souvenir de Posew by Wieniasky. Both did splendidly and deserve much credit for their work. g I. H. S. hasmgllkand that cannot be surpassed by any school band in the state. It has midvglseveral appearances at the chanel hour and was heard at all the footballgames. Seventy-three I Orange and Black 1922 BAND ?f..H-2.-ff2f1hf lndependence High School --:Ie - s ee Besides entering' the music contest the music department gave a concert Wednesday evening, April 19, in the school auditorium. The purpose of this was to raise funds to help purchase instruments for the orchestra. This was in every way a success. The wonderful success attained by the Music department is chiefly attributed to Miss Evans and Mr. Goepfert. Their untiring efforts have made the departments one of the live organizations of the school. There is a strong feeling We will Win the cup next year. Orchestra and Band 1922! The first year of I. H. S., but the second year of an organized orchestra. The first week of school a number of students playing instru- ments met and began practicing on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons. The orchestra under the efficient direction of Prof. Goepfert had made several public appearances including the Music Contest in which the I. H. S. orchestra won second place although having the same average as Neodesha, the winner of first Also the orchestra had a part on the con- cert program given by the Music Department. This concert was given for the purpose of raising money for the buying of much needed instruments for the orchestra. Undoubtedly the present organization will be surpassed by the one next year. Officers were elected at the first of the term as follows: Marion Dol- lison, presidentg Donald Salathiel, vice-president, Otto Culbert, secretary and treasurerg Robert Campbel, librarian. , This is also the second year of the Band. Prof. Goepfert has also directed this organization. The band has played at all the home foot- ball games, at several basket ball games and in chapel. The band by the snappy pieces which it played has inspired the football and basketball players to Win many a game and the school may Well say, What would a football game be Without the band. The band this year was much larger than last and it is fully expected to be larger next year. Benefit Concert In order that our Orchestra could have a better instrumentation a concert was given to help raise the necessary money. As a result, a splen- did program was rendered by the Glee Clubs and Orchestra. Selections were given by the Mixed Chorus, Boys' and Girls' 'Glee Clubs, the Quartets and Orchestra. There were also two solos. The audience was well pleased and the program netted us the price of several valuable instruments. Seventy-five '-eee frfefrf Orange and Black' 1922 g Independence High School Music Soloisfs E i Joseph Fitzpatrick Venus Jones Vernon Goepfert A large part of the success of the glee clubs and chorus depends upon the accompanist. So a great deal of credit is due to Venus Jones who has been the accompanist this year. When it comes to accompanying Venus can't be beat. Her splendid co-operation has been invaluable. Joseph Fitzpatrick Was the vocal soloist this year. Joe is a tenor and if he keeps on will be a second John McCormack. He entered the Verdigris Valley Music 'Contest singing Gems by Chaurinade and won second place among three contestants. Vernon Shorty Goepfert was the violin soloist. Vernon is one of the youngest members in the Music Department, and one of the most prom- ising. We are expecting big things of him, because he must be a promising lad who, so young, may have the talent even to be entered in so notable a contest. The Quartets When we look in the trophy case we see a pennant there with the words Girls Quartet. This recalls to our mind the fact that in the V. V. contest I. H. S. had an excellent Girls' Quartet. So excellent were they, When they sang Sleepy Time, by Collins, that the Judges gave I. H. S. first place in this number. Zora Riggs, sopranog Ruth Ingram, second so- prano, Mildred Lynch, first alto, and lWintress Lugenbeal, second alto com- posed the Girls' Quartet. The Boys' Quartet was also a credit to I. H. S. The Judges of the contest did not give them first place, but the next best. second place. I. H. S. is proud of the way these boys sang Mammy's Lil Pigeon by Fearis. The Boys' Quartet is composed of Joe Fitzpatrick, tenorg John Denman, second tenor: Roy Romig, baritone and Leon Salathiel, basso.

To the students completing one year of this work one credit is given. This Glee Club has made rapid progress under the very capable leader- ship of Miss Evans. Their success is evident by the fact that they have had numerous invitations to sing at various places and they have pleased their audience on every occasion. I. H.

The response was larger than usual. . This body formerd a Glee Club and began regular practice every fourth hour with exception when they were required to meet with the Girls' Glee Club on certain occasions. This Boys' Glee 'Club has proved to be a popular organization. This is shown by their numerous invitations out to various places. Their per- formances have met with approval by their audiences. They have shown lots of pep, practicing before and after school for various occasions, which is due to interest in the work under the direction of Miss lEvans. This club is composed of the best talent in I. H. S. and no one doubts but what it would have taken first place had it entered the V. V. L. contest. It has appeared in chapel numerous times and has met with the approval of every student. The Chorus is composed of members from the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs, and is limited to thirty-two members. The purpose of 'Chorus rehearsal is primarily to enlarge the scope of musical training given the students in the Glee +Club Work. The Chorus which represented I. H. S. in the V. V. L. Music contest took first place for which they have received due credit. The splendid Work of the Chorus is also due largely to the Wonderful work of Miss Evans.

Jessie Brown THE ASSOCIATION So much is to be said of the Alumni Association of M. C. H. S. that it is difficult to be governed by the editor-in-chief's limitations to two pages on the subject. When the school became the Independence High School, the Alumni were left nominally orphans, but in tthe hearts of those more than a thousand old grads, it will always be old Montgomery High and mem- ories -of days and years spent there will be held ever dear. Although more than 60 per cent of them have matriculated at higher institutions of learn- ing and though they are scattered now to the four corners of the earth, from Canada to Mexico, from California to New York, from South America to India, that same loyalty to the school, and to the ideals for which it has always stood, exists as of old. I Of the alumni, many have chosen to be teachers, some are lawyers, doctors, nurses, accountants, many hold responsible positions in the world of finance: there are missionaries, stenographers, salesmen and even a circus cashier, to say nothinglof those experts among experts, the housewives whose required qualifications are legion. Many have lately entered the sea of matrimony, so we print herewith: Marriage licenses issued within the last year: A Theodore Taylor '14 Forrest 'Featherngill '17 Rosalie Taggart '14 Edith Olson '18 Dow Mitchell John Main '15 Iretta Hurst '16 Alice Dearine Merrell Blank '15 Glen Hackmaster '15 Lela Hurst '18 Isabel Bechtel '15 Herbert Scott '15 Davis Bovaird '14 ' Bertha Vinsil Florence Hettinger Fred Crane '14 Glenn Connelly '16 Maude Springer Ruth Blake Eighty-two c c toccicicc ccec Orange and Black 1922 'c 'c 2- Independence High School . 4 P 441. ee- Garland McCoy Phoebe Potter '15 Vernon Hill '13 Edith Miller Virgil McFerrin '12 Twila Porterfield '14 Howard Mitchell '15 Jeannette Overfield '18 Ernest Sanders Pearle Edwards '16 Mr. Runge Marjorie Farleigh '19 O.

But I . .

You know how the game ended. If you don't, consult the umpire. The Dee Dee Club was organized by combining Miss Ingleman's Oral English classes. This organized body chose its title and club officers. Clair Midcap was chosen president, Mary Wagner, vice president, Ray Frampton, secretary, while Otto 'Meyer overcame the financial difficulties. We are especially fortunate this year because we had for our club ad- visor one from whom most of us took English, when we were Freshies, Miss Ingleman, commonly known as the Freshies Friend, but about 100W of the Seniors agree with the Freshies about her friendship. Her duties for the betterment of Oral English were too numerous for me to remember but among the most important were the training of Betty Burke, our Declamation contestant, and the participants of Expression and Senior plays. You must not get the idea that all the Dee Dee Club did was work for this is quite wrong. We went on truck rides, picnics, and attended a great many athletics activities in body. Every member was a booster for all the school activities and we will always be ready to help I. H. S. win new honors. Doyle Hooper, 22 Mighty-four ---..-- -1.-.

Callahan, Hill, Bobbie Takes a Look with 'QClarence The Oral English classes of Independence High School have staged two remarkable plays this year. lt is the custom for the classes to give one play a year but under the direction of Miss Ingleman, the classes this year outdid all other classes by giving the two plays, Bobby Takes a Look and Clarence, Bobby Takes a Look was given Tuesday, January 17, in the High School Auditorium. The play concerned an ex-soldier who was engaged to two girls at the same time, one a little French girl whom he met over- seas, and the other hisold sweetheart at home. On the night when his en-- gagement was to -be announced to Kay Hilton, Bobby is in an accident which causes him to be blind for a short time, and as he is in a very nervous condition he sees a vision. In this vision Yvonne, the little French girl arrives and Bobby has a very hard time to keep Kay from finding it out, but he is successful. After the vision leaves and Bobby regains his eye sight, Yvonne really does come but she is on her honeymoon with an English Lord and Bobby feels quite relieved to find himself engaged to only one girl. Clarence a popular comedy by Booth Tarkington was presented at the Beldorf. The play was about an ex-soldier by the name of Clarence, who after returning home had no job and who seemed to be in bad health. He finally secures a position in the Wheeler family, which consists of Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler, Bobby and Cora, the son and daughter, and Miss Pinney, Cora's governess. Cora immediately falls in love with Clarence and Bobby falls in love with Miss Pinney. But fate decreed different and Miss Pinney and Clarence fell in love with each other. Clarence proved to be a big success. Fliglity-five C Orange and Black 1922 lnclependence High School : -- - alt Clarence CLARENCE CAST OF CHARACTERS Mrs. Martyn ............,............

Two students, Miss Betty Burke and Miss Mary Wagner were chosen as the two best in the preliminary. A final try-out between them was to be held in Chapel, but when the time came Miss Wagner was ill and was unable to try-out, and as the inner school contest date was near at hand Miss Burke was sent. All this time Miss Ingle- man had been working faithfully with both girls, and either of the two was capable of the hard task of contesting for the cup. At the contest Miss Burke acquainted her- self with credit in spite of the annoying handicap of a heavy cold which rendered her quite hoarse. Notwithstanding this she won third honors for - - I. H. S. Miss Burke recited A Scrap of College Love by Drumngoale while the winner, Fredonia used The Finger of God, which won for them first place. Mildred Russell was their contestant. -Joe Fitzpatrick '22 The Lecture Course This year as usual we had a splendid lecture course. The first num- ber was rendered by the Mendelssohn Musical Club, headed by Howard C. Everts a flutist and soloist of national reputation. The next number by the Kaufman Male Quartet was full of pep and delighted the entire audience. The third number was given by Josef Konecennyg it was for- tunate indeed to have him play for us this year. ,. 'Hon. Nels Darling de- livered an excellent lecture on Civics and Citizenship as the fourth num- ber of the course. The last number was a scientific lecture and demon- stration by Glen L. Morris which was very entertaining as well as edu- cational. Every number on the course was entirely satifactory and well worth the patronage of the students and friends of the school. This institution offers a lecture course every year and the best talent obtainable is always presented. Eighty-seven Grange and 'LQ22 1 ' ' 1 e independence Hiqh School Hussong Navarre Heckman Riggs McEnaney Allison Jarboe Debate, 1922 Many frivolous and silly questions are debated and talked about. For instance, Benjamin Franklin once said, Any fool can get married, but it takes a genius to remain a bachelor. The question debated in the Ver- digris Valley League was a vital one to ten million people: Resolved, That the United States should grant the Philippine Islands their immediate in- dependence. Eight Daniel Websters were chosen from fourteen who tried out for the teams. The ones selected were 'Roland Sanford, Frances Heckman,. Marjorie Navarre, Earl Hussong, Mildred Lynch, and Mae Ellison. Roland soon moved to California and Mi1dred's physician advised against her par- ticipation in so trying an event, so the substitutes were used in their stead. The teams were soon selected and work began in earnest. The aflirm- ative of the question as stated above was taken by Frances Heckman, Mar- jorie Navarre and Ernest Jarboeg the negative by Rose fMcEfn.-any, Mae Ellison and Earl Hussong. Then came the preparation. How the teams did work! They gathered information in overwhelming abundance and proceeded to select and devour till at last six excellent speeches were pre- pared and good foundation laid for substantial rebuttal. On February 8th, the negative team went to Caney, the affirmative debated Coffeyville here! The teams were successful, winning both de- bates. Then the bell rang and the air was filled with glad shouting. In the second round, held February 22, the affirmative team was defeated by Oswego, the negative, however, defeated Neodesha. By the count of the judges, N eodesha was awarded the cup, but we were second in the League. When the Debaters counted their blessing, how many things they were thankful for, even though they did not Win the cup. They found that probably the most important benefit was the valuable training re- Eighty-eight Fl Orange and Black 1922 lndependence High School lf6lVBfl under the capable leadership of Miss Paterson. Miss O'Brien and Miss Ingleman also gave many hours of their precious time in order to help win the debate. But we did not win and we have no alibi to offer. We died fighting hard. Another who deserves honorable mention is Roma Riggs, who with only a yveek's preparation so ably took Marjorie Navarre's part, as Marjorie had become dangerously ill. And lastly, the support and loyalty of a large portion of the student body and the faculty. Those of you who now are Juniors and Sophomores show your loyalty earlier in the game next year by trying-out for the victorious Debate Teams of 19225. ll' fifty or more enter the preliminaries there can be little doubt but you will win the league championship.

Studenl' The Orange and Black of '22 makes a better appearance for having the I. H. S. Student's first issue and its excellent staff to grace these pages. The Student has been a boom to our high school in many ways. Its pages at each issue have sparkled with bright things--good wholesome articles, paragraphs, ads, and jokes. Favorable comment has been heard on every side and the beauty of all this has not been marred by adverse criticism. In fact almost complete absence of adverse criticism has been a noticeable feature of each issue. In this connection this Annual would like to venture the assertion that any student staff that follows will be compelled to do some extra hard work to excell the present force editing The I. H. S. Student. Bill Reno and Staff, ably directed and assisted by Miss Stewart, -Miss Stevens and Miss Russell have litertlly started something. We feel that they are entitled to enjoy the liberty of displaying a certain' amount of genuine, unaffected egotism if they care to do so, for they have done a real service to the schools of Independence, and the greatest reward they may ever receive for this service will be the satisfaction of having undertaken a great task and of feeling, rightly too, that they have done it well. The Orange and Black wishes its companion, The Student, abundant success in the Wonderful years yet to come. OUR PAPER 'Tis a plucky little sheet- The Student, It is gotten up so neat- The Student. And its English is so choice That we dearly love its voice O'er the jokes we all rejoice, In The Student. 'Tis a loyal little sheet- The Student, Such corrections as are meet The Student Always takes with perfect grace Knowing' well correction's place Will forever find a space, In The Student.

Tell us all we should get quiet Then sometimes a teacher gives us Pleasant talks or some announce- ments Or perhaps an outside speaker Makes a speech or entertains us. Then again we sing together And are led by Lois Gilman. The department then of music Sometimes furnishes a program Furnishes a splendid program By the orchestra or Glee Clubs. And Pm sure we al enjoy it. lSometime, too, We have some yelling That is when we are the victors Victors o'er another high school. But one thing I must remind you Never fail to come to chapel To assemble every morning For the things We see and hear there Are Worth while to every student. One hundred three --as Orange and Black 1922 ff 1if14e?f '1fe2fe lndependence High School Young W0men's Christian Associnlion The year 1922 has been a very prosperous one for our meetings are held every two weeks, on Monday, with a member of the faculty and a student as leaders, and these meetings have all proven very beneficial. One evening the first week of school a very successfrl reception was given for the new girls of the school. These are the prospective Y. W. workers. Every girl had a good time. We were very fortunate to have as our guest, at one of our meet- ings, Miss Katherine Vance the Y. W. C. A. Missionary Secretary in China, to whose support our girls contribute. She showed the girls some very beautiful Chinese costumes and pictures. We are always delighted to have outside speakers come to tell us of their work. Three members of our society, Frances Heckman, Beatrice Devore, Zora Riggs and the chairman of our Y. W. board, Miss Helen Spradling. went as delegates to the State Conference at Wellington, Kans. All profited much by the Conference. It was a live meeting. We are planning to send five delegates to 'Estes Park, Colorado, this ssummer, and the Y. W. girls all hope that next fall the association in I. H. S. will profit by the results of this conference and next year be able to send a larger delegation.

A. cabinet met and outlined the schedule for the year. Though the name of the school had changed it was the same school with its high ideals and noble standards which were enhanced through the influence of the Y. M. C. A., one of the strongest piers supporting the good name of the Old School. The Y started out full of pep, their enthusiasm being aroused by the oflicers from the State Y. M. C. A. Camp, Camp Wood. What did they do? The Y boys were the first aid that came to the Freshmen as guides to help locate them. Then the first announcement that all the boys received was from the Y , which was a token of welcome to be a member and a Y worker. Several fine talks were delivered by business men and ministers who were kind enough to give us of their time and effort. We certainly ap- prciated their kindness. But in the interesting discussions carried on in the Bible Study class is where the true Christian training comes in. We studied The Manhood of the Master by Harry Fosdick, and from it were brought some wonderful thoughts. The physical side of the triangle also was emphasized, for every Tuesday night after the Bible Study we had a little work out in the gymnasium. Back of all this however were the high ideals and noble prin- ciples taught and instilled into us by our advisor, Mr. Beal and our prin- cipal, Mr. Nees. 0 e I ndred Hve Orange and Black 1922 lndependence High School Louise A.: Marion told me that you told her that secret that I told you not to tell her.

We hope you will appreciate to some extent what it means to put out a book of this nature--The Orange and Black. The Staff, headed by Ray Frampton, a fine, good looking young fellow, deserves very little censure and much praise. They have made a neat book, one deserving to rank well among such publications. This Annual, like its predecessors, is intended to record for preser- vation a few of the many activities of a school of this kind. It must, in a way, be a picture of our school life. Yet we must admit that many of the finest things said, done, or thought, some of the finest class work pre- sented in school: some of the most valuable lessons that can be taught are entirely unsung in these pages. These are some of the lessons no pupil can report, lessons no pupil can ever forget, and none but the adult of mature years can hope to appreciate. And, too, these are the things that will be living and throbbing, vital parts of us when this book shall have ceased even to be a memory. Independence is essentially a good town. Our people seem to stand almost as a unit for anything that is good. They took great pride in the Montgomery County High School, chiefly because it stood for the best in education. This school in the beginning fitted well into their own edu- cational plans, and continued to do so throughout the years. They have acquired a good school, and now they bend their splendid energies to make it even a better one, and the work goes on with never a halt. So it has come about quite naturally that our business men, our men and women of affairs have shown the same fine courtesy toward our staff workers as was shown in the former years. They believe in the school they support. They believe in their boys and girls. They sympathize with them in their youthful efforts and overlook their errors, yet all the while giving that wholesome support to the facultty and school that serves as a valuable corrective and thorough stimulant. Without this support the Annual cannot be a success. With such support its success is assured and its future is very bright. So we feel very grateful toward all interested, and hope our readers will fully understand what such support means to any of the school activities. Sincerely yours, E. J. CASTILLO, Faculty Advisor.
