None but exceptional students form the class of '23, This does not mean that every member of the class has a superior intellect, but it does mean that every member excells in some certain line. When anyone sees or converses with any member of this scintillating group, questions such as, i'Where did he obtain his knowledge? , and, What makes him so intelligent? , automatically arise from his lips. The attributes which have done so much toward making the class a famous one are initiative, high aims, and a capacity for overcoming obstacles. When we seniors began our hign school careers four years ago, We Were so green that a casual observer might have imagined that St. Patrick's day was being celebrated. But initiative saved the day, for we plunged with determination into both studies and activities, and conquered them with gentle firmness. Many classes adopt as their motto, Excelsior,,' but we have taken as ours, Excelsissimus,,' meaning i'Highest. With the same fixity of purpose for which great men have been praised, those of our class have overcome every obstacle in their paths. They are certain to succeed in particular vocations, whether .they be college presidents or vagabonds. We do not consider ourselves entirely responsible for our wonderful attainments. The teachers who guided and expanded our channels of thought deserve more credit than can be given to them. Without their aid no such class could have developed and no such achievements attained. We have always produced leaders in athletics, forensic work, and in various musical organizations, as well in the classroom, Many of the class are good looking, many are more or less brilliant, but all are proud of being members of the class of '23.

A Full House The senior class play, HA Full House, by Fred Jackson, was performed at the Beldorf during Commencement week. It was an epoch-maker among class plays, for a more side-splitting comedy was never seen in Independence. It was as decided a hit as What Happened to Jones. Preparation was not begun until April 7, which gave Miss lngleman only four weeks to whip the play into creditable form, but her experience in getting results from student casts was equal to the emergency. The plot of the production centers about an amusing mistake. George Howell, a newly married lawyer, unwittingly exchanges luggage with a crook, and when his wife discovers burglar's tools and stolen jewelry, has to do a little pleading on his own account. Marion Dollison, as might be expected, stars as leading 111811. Ruth Woods, in the role of Mrs. Howell, is a charming bride. Earl Hussong, as Ned Pembroke, makes love in a manner that leads onlookers to suspect that he has had much practice in the art. Elizabeth Piper, the fiancee, plays the coquette convincingly, while Kenneth Cornell, the burglar, has realized the ambition of his life in being allowed to portray a. tough character, Madge Bright, the maid: Louise Aubuchon, the crusty Aunt, Joy Jackman, butler, Lloyd Meyers, policeman, Zora Riggs, Thelma Sloan, and Viola Gimm, as social acquaintances of the family, all enact their roles with con- vincing character touches, showing careful coaching. Too much praise cannot be given Miss Ingleman, who is always the vital force holding a cast together and keeping it at work during the crowded days and nights just before Commencement. Twenty-Seven.

The old man, with a bored expression, is watching all that is written. A young man advances and takes up the pen. Father Time chuckles as he watches the young man write: We, the class of '24, are an outstanding class because of our achievements, pep, and ideas. In us is exemplified all that other classes have longed to be. We are known as the class that 'puts things acrossf We have always taken an active -1 interest in the affairs of our school, and in athletics, forensics, and music we are I very prominent. Our athletic prowess is shown by our record in football, with six .-. letter men and the captain elect from our class. In basketball and track Juniors - have competed successfully. Six of the 1923 debaters are Juniors, and the only I. H. S. representative in the Declamation contest belongs to our class. Juniors form the largest part of our fine orchestra, glee clubs, quartets, and chorus. Members of our class have taken an active part in both the Y. M. and Y. W. Junior names are always to be found on the Honor roll, quite often at the top. We won the Annual contest and were entertained at the All-School carnival as the guests of the other classes. Thus the class of '24 has added its contribution to the achievements and tradi- tions of I. H. Sf, . The young man lays down the pen and, smiling at the old man, goes on. Father Time turns over the leaf, and continues to watch what is written, but every now and then he raises his eyes from the History, and chuckles with approval as he recalls the class of '24.

In The Annual Sales Contest On your mark,-get set,---go! -this was the beginning of one of the most exciting activities that I. H. S. has seen, an automobile race between classes! confident, as usual. They took their pick of the four racers, largest one.

After looking over to improve upon them by adding a better cover, expensive trimmings. But where was the money the staff shook their pompadours and thought, in silent gloom. Then, gradually, they evolved .the idea of the race. The annual s.taff, this year, has the books of past years, they decided color pages, view sections, and other to come from? The young men of On a big banner hung in the hall at school was shown a race track with four racing cars, one to each class. The track was marked off to show the number of votes secured. Every day each racer was moved forward according to the number of votes it received. Each sale of an annual counted one hundred votes. During the week and a half of the contest, Earl Hussong and Merle Swalley developed writers' cramp signing receipts for advance payments of half the price of each annual. About three hundred and fifty annuals were sold. The prize for the winning class was not a loving cup, nor a hundred-dollar bill, but something better,-the right to the name of The Livest Class in School, plus the privilege of being entertained at an All-school party, plus the disposal of two whole pages in the annual itself. Our Hudson thought such prizes worth winning. Slowly it drew up alongside the big senior car, an Oldsmobile 1912 model. Finally, with a tremendous burst of speed it drew ahead, and stayed -there until the tape was reached. The All-school party was a grand and glorious carnival. One can always have a Hkeenl' time at a carnival, this one helped, too, to bring in more money for the annual. Juniors were admitted free to the shows and refreshment booths. For some reason nearly everyone was a junior. Strange, was it riot? About six hundred students and parents attended the carnival and abandoned themselves to the gayety of the occasion. It was considered .the best All-school party ever held in the history of .the school. Some of the main attractions were: the big show, An American Harem, given by the Dee Dee club, the Kiss Auction, which was particularly well attended, Blue Beard's Cave, the Bathing Beauties, Athletic Stadium, and Baby Show. Stands of refreshments and carnival novelties furnished the real Mardi Gras atmosphere. Clint McCollister as the Ballyhoo, and Henry Dorsey's band furnished hilarious entertainment for the crowd. Later the juniors held a contest to dispose of the Space in the Orange and Black, Persis Kandt was selected by the class as the Prettiest girl, Morna Zell Wagstaff as the Most Popular Girl, Ralph Everly as the Handsomest boy, and Niles Smith as the Best Allround boy.

H. S., remember well that day when we entered these halls to begin our first termfs work. V Everyone seemed to be staring at us with glittering eyes, Amid sneers from the sophomores, laughter from the juniors, and encouraging smiles from the seniors, we were guided to the auditorium. Mr. Nees, with his Wonderful personality, quietly slipped onto the stage and gave us ka short talk on, Keep Your Eye on the Ballf This speech seemed to sink into the depths of every freshman's heart, for we have certainly followed that motto since that day, and are now doubly proud to relate what it has accomplished for us. As l'l'9Slll1lGll, our play and our Colonial banquet seemed to attract more at- tention than any other event of the school year. The sophomores threw up their hands in despair, and watched with upraised eyebrows to see what we would do next. September, 1922, found us back in I. H. S. as sophomores, only to be informed by the classes above us that we were wise fools. This was discouraging, but gave us added determination to master every task. We are proud to point out the honors that have come to us during the year. If it had -not been for 'tFat Prescott, our graceful football player and toe dancer, perhaps Coach Beal's football boys would have lost the championship cup, while the Hula-Hula dance at the All-school carnival would have been a complete failure. We consider ourselves safe in all arguments as long as we have Bonnie Bell to stand by our class and debate for its rights. We had two contestants in .the final declamatory tryout, The fact that they did not receive first place is no discredit, for we know they worked for the honors of .their class. We were strongly represented in the athletic teams and musical organizations. Frank Shelton represents the class as a member of the mixed quartet. Our last year's president is a member of the new Y. W. cabinet, We are as large in numbers as We are strong in spirit, and under the capable leadership of Miss Stevens, have established new standards for future classes to meet. For we know the secret of success,- Keep Your Eye on the Ball. gh Irina Bloomer '2 5. Thirty-Two. I 'W 1 i I Q QRANGE-ww ffsmcic E y 1-1 1 nl Q 533 George L.

Some came from the city schools, some came green and fresh from a far countryg some came from farms Where they had been tillers of the soil, but all had been busily engaged for eight long years storing their minds with the honey of wisdom. And it came to pass, as they entered this wonderful land of knowledge a great host of sophomores, juniors, and seniors welcomed them, and they were given a royal greeting by the teachers who were henceforth to lead them along the slippery paths of this strange country. And behold, the word went forth for the freshmen to gather themselves to- gether and organize a class, that they might gain in strength and courage. In due time this was done, and the wisest ones were chosen leaders. In unity there is power, for they came out victorious in the freshman-sopho- more basketball game. The whole year proceeded to be one of busy joyousness. The class parties were the St. Patrick's day informal social triumph, followed by a formal party in April, with everyone arrayed in much fine raiment, with their most festive airs, and quite ably chaperoned by their able class advisor, Miss Staples. And lo!-the food administered to them by many fair maidens on these occasions was such as to delight them beyond Words. Their cup of happiness was filled unto the brim when a freshman took second honors in the declamatory tryout. The opening of the track season, with its interclass meet, gave the more athletically inclined the opportunity to exhibit their prowess. So with colors flying and a song of mastery this loyal band of pilgrims marched from the field of fond memories of freshman days into those of the sophomore, even as that band goes ever on before them.

S-., even though she were the biggest school in the country could not expect to find a better coach than Burt Beal. He is an ideal coach, therefore, he is an ideal man. A man to be respected on the gridiron, as well as in the classroom, neverthe- less Mr. Beal is just one of the fellows in many Ways. He not only understands how tc- coach athletics, but he has a sense of humor, knows human nature, and has ideal and unalterable standards of right and wrong. Whenever an I. H. S. team is in a tight place with the outcome of the contest at all doubtful, many times just the personality of Mr. Beal has inspired the boys to make the winning fight. When, in any game, it is necessary to make a substitution, the man going in has the feeling that the whole schoo1's moral backing is his as Coach Beal slaps his hack and says a few encouraging words. The man withdrawing seems to know that he has the praise and admiration of the Whole school as the coach wraps him in a sweater or blanket and smiles into his face. Mr. Beal is the kind of a man whose friendship is an asset, the type you instinct- ively try .to please. Having not only splendid coaching ability but the rare gift of inspiring a ,team to do its utmost, Mr. Beal is an ideal coach. Thirty-Nine. Qoinugpmlqjanacrj ,-, ,-ft. V. '-' '-' .W TROUTMAN JONES COTTRELL Cheer Leaders of 1922-23 The .three cheer leaders of I. H. S. have been responsible, in no small measure for the success of the school activities. At all League contests the Three Bears, as they are affectionately called, were in evidence directing and encouraging the rooters section in doing their bit toward an I. H. S. victory. Not only at the contests and games did the yell leaders work, but they held frequent yell practice in the auditorium. Venus Jones and 'tSheriff'l Lee Troutman are veterans in the business, as they led the rooting last year. They were unanimously re-elected for this year. Lloyd C0ttie Cottrell, always an enthusiastic member of the rooters section, was elected as a third member of the pep-generating team. Venus is a senior and will graduate this year, after having held many important 'positions in the activities of the school during her high school career. Venus' good nature and ability will -be greatly missed next year. Lee is a junior. He will be back next year to resume his old place of leader- ship. We could ask for no better work on his part. Everyone realizes what an asset t'Sheriff is .to I. H. S. 'tCottie,,' also is a senior and will have to leave his megaphone behind for some one else to use. Although this is his first year on the cheer-leading staff, he will be greatly missed next year when the time comes to give fifteen for the team. Forty. I i Q QRANGE-we 'BLACK E ECOUL b'CL!f1l0 lst.

The 1922 Football Season This year the Independence high school football team maintained the reputation of the teams of the past several years by ending the 1922 season an all-victorious eleven. This enviable record is splendid testimony for the coach, players, and the student body-which did its share from the side lines at all games. A large and enthusiastic crowd saw the Independence team win its first victory. This was played against Parsons who were defeated 25-18. 'The game was played here .September 29. . The next game with Caney, also played at home October 6, was the first Verdigris Valley league tangle. In a close game the final coun.t was 6-0, with Caney the heat y-hearted team. , October 13, an unlucky day ffor the team's opponentsj the Orange and Black emerged from the struggle with 38 points, while Neodesha, on their home field, had none. However, this game cost us our star fullback, Roy Romig, who was injured so seriously that he played no more during .the season, Five of our first-string players were absent October 19, when Oswego was de- feated 21-0. The next Friday, October 27, the team returned with the large end of a 32-0 score at Fredonia. The best game of the season was November 3, when Cherryvale and Independ- ence, both as yet undefeated, met on the Cherryvale field to break the tie. After a hard game on a muddy field, the I. H. S. team came out smiling, one point ahead. Score 7-6. November 11, Armistice Day, Columbus, CCherokee county high schoolj another undefeated team, went back home with bowed heads and the goose-egg end of a 20-0 score. The Altamont game was a good substitute for a .track meet. Score 58-0 in favor of I. H. S. The next week the team rested, laying up fight for the annual Turkey Day game with Coffeyville. The rest seemed effective as Independence finished the season by defeating C. H. S, on their own field, to the tune of 14-0. Efforts to get a post season game to play for the state championship were of no avail. Forty-One. aug oaanaia-aw fisnftcit fi 5 V ii k 1 it F71 I if HA rl' 1 1 ..,, rp Q.

The Orange and Black team scored 434 points during the , season, to a total of 341 scored by all opponents. Of the League games, I. H. S. V' won six and lost four. Five of the non-league games were won, and two lost. ' The school has every reason to be proud of the showing made by the team, con- Q sidering the fact that an entirely new team had to be built, none of the players -L being veterans of one or more year's service on the court.

Other men who will show up strong next year are Granville Prescott, Carl Smith, Jake Endres, Murl Burns- worth, and Charles Hoffman, The team was defeated in the semi-finals of the District Tournament by Fre- donia, after having won from Douglas, 19-14, and Oswego, 26-13.

This is not the stuff of which dreams are made, but rather that of which a girls' basketball practice is made. Tharp, Williams, Dixon, and Patterson are the seniors We hate to lose. We would like to think of Helen Selleck's helping the team next year as much as she has this year. There are the 1nakin's of a good team left, however, and every one of them hopes that the girls of the Verdigris valley will be admitted to league athletics next year. Nine games were played this year, of which six were Won and three were lost. There is no record of .the quota of bruises, sore fingers, skinned knees, high hopes, and bitter disappointments all borne with the good sportsmanship that is useful in many places besides a basketball court. As a delightful finish to a successful season, the girls chose to spend a week end at the Y. W. camp, as being more basketbally than a formal banquet at the Booth. -Helen K. Spradling. Forty-Eight.

Row, Endres, Sanford, Brady, The 1923 Track Team Track has taken over its part of honor in the major sports of the valley. This is shown by the spirit and loyalty of each school in the support of its track team. This season was a complete success as for the spirit and pep that I. H. S. has shown the track squad. Independence was favored with two meets this year. The first was the Inter-class meet that went off in record style. The next meet was with Coffeyville. The meet with Cherryvale was cancelled, rainy weather preventing the contest. ' The valley meet, which is held annually at some town in the Valley, for the last two years has taken place at Coffeyville. This meet has become more of a success each year. New records are made and lowered each season. As in everything the Valley schools undertake, every event is well planned, and the whole thing works like some great machine. Independence had a large squad of track men out this season. The letter men that came back were: Tucker, Brady, Heiser, Scott., and Swalley, captain for 1923. Burnsworth, who came out some last year, has developed into one of the best sprinters in the valley. The squad was always alive and full of pep. I. H. S. had the fastest relay team in its history this year, composed of Swalley, Brady, Heiser, and Webber. These men are all fast quarter milers and run the event in record time. Fi fty. Q oRaNGE-aw ftsmcrc E 1 'a .. iii. 5,1 gl-I 1 Q C2 5 A Forward Look BY SUPT. C. S. RISDON , Independence will declare next year the largest educational dividend in the history of the city. Crowded buildings and meager facili- ties will be supplanted by ample room and modern equipment. The new high school em- bodies the realization of a vision and dream of several years duration. It is the consummation of definite plans and purposes. The building is as commodious, as substantial, as adaptable to school purposes, as beautiful as could be built for the money. lt is a splendid monument,to the ideals and purposes of the citizenry of In- dependence. The completion of the new half- million dollar high school and the three hundred thousand dollar memorial hall, which is also primarily an educational institution, at the same time, places Independence in a class by herself in civic achievement. The complexity of modern life makes edu- 1 cation the paramount issue. Intelligent leader- ! - ship and a patriotic support of sound civic pro- grams by society, is not the result of chanceg but instead the product of constructive educational policies. Each year marks an increased tendency to adapt education to the needs of the various social groups. The best education for each child is the education that will make him most effi- cient in the field he chooses for his lifets work. For education is not an ornament, a badge for display, but the working tool, the brick and mortar, the tressle board with which he builds his edifice of life. The public invests its money in education, not for the personal profit of the individual, but rather that he may contribute valuable service to society. So the schools cf Independence will be administered not only for all the children of all the people, but also with the consciousness that each child pos- sesses talents, tastes fnd needs peculiar to himself. In other words, we are teaching children rather than subject matter. Courses of study constitute only the organized material through which the child becomes educated. Not only will these new facilities mean more effective teaching but alsobaddi- tional courses just as rapidly as the demands justify. The new laboratories for -the biological and physical sciences will mean much more practical and effective teaching of modern science. New quarters for cooking and sewing will insure higher stand- ards of accomplishment in the field of household arts. The new shops will provide better work for boys in prevocational courses and take care of advanced students desiring vocational training in specific fields. For next year new courses will be offered in printing and machine shop. The building will admit of the organization of other craft courses as the demand arises. The new cafeteria will permit courses in cafeteria management and give a more practical trend to home economics. An art department will be organized. The two large gymnasiums will accomodate the students of both junior and senior high school grade and insure the training of their bodies and the care of their health in keeping with the superior mental development they will acquire. In brief, Independence will have a school plant and a teaching organization that will provide her boys and girls with educational ad- vantages equaled in few places and surpassed nowhere.

Samuel M. Nees was principal of Montgomery County high school from the time it was established in 1889 until his death. lt is useless for us to atte111pt to portray adequately the love and esteem in which Mr. Nees was held by everyone who knew him. Nor can we express the feeling of grief and bitter loss that came to hundreds of students, alumni, teachers, and fellow-citizens, upon hearing of his death. Perhaps the universal feeling was best expressed by one of his closest friends and co-Workers over a long period of years, M1'. Castillo: UNO more beautiful picture of genuine public service can be found than the one lived by Mr, Nees as he labored long hours, day and night, at his task of serving his boys and girls. Every -teacher was impressed by the magnitude of the influence for good wielded by this quiet, alert, earnest man among men. That intangible part of him, that which stood for all the best that can come into the life of youth and the destiny of maturity, that which death cannot touch nor wither, Will still live triumphant and abide with pupil and teacher. Such are the fruits imperishable of a useful life. An impressive Memorial service was held in honor of Mr. Nees on December 31, in the high school auditorium. lt was the most solemn occasion and the saddest gathering that had ever taken place between those Walls, and yet there was manifest a feeling of triumph inspired by the triumphant life and death of this t1'uly great man. Plans were discussed, with hushed voices, of a fitting memorial to his life-work. A committee of alumni was appointed to submit plans which were to be passed upon by the alumni association. It was desired that students, teachers, citizens, and all others who came in contact with Mr. Nees, as well as the alumni, should be allowed to contribute toward the memorial. The committee has decided to recommend that the old high school building be named Nees Hall, and that a large bronze tablet be placed in its main hall, bearing an inscription suitable to the memory of the man, his name, and his life. It is highly fitting that the building in which he labored for over thirty years should be dedicated and consecrated for all time, with his name. Fifty-Eight.

All too son It will be drifting swiftly I I W high above the moon. The juniors have been so high up in everything.: during the year that balloons were the only decorations that seemed appropriate for the Junior-Senior banquet. Balloons of the colors of the two classes were everywhere, blue, purple, and gold. Although the balloons may be as tar away as the moon now, the memories of that banquet are very near. The juniors would have no one but their president, Wayne Harris, as toast- master. Departing from an ancient custom, the number of toasts was reduced to three, beginning with the letters I, H, and S respectively. Kenneth Cornell, a senior with a reputation of wagging a wicked tongue on all occasions, lived up to his repu- tation. For the juniors, the shy and modest Dola Bevel' managed to say a few ap- propriate words. Then Supt. Risdon undertook to give a toast to the senior class in behalf of the board of education and the business men of Independence. He proved he was not a Piggly-Wiggly, because he delivered the goods. The motif of the evening was the carnival spirit, suggested by the balloon decorations, the gay paper caps worn by all, the gayly plumaged parrots perched on the edges of glasses. The stunts that were put on between the toasts are sure to be featured by the next street carnival coming to Independence. Frances Meinhardt's balloon dance, the Senior Snapshots, the Junior Follies, and the clown band made even Carl Niemeyer forget to be critical. It is hard to tell whether the girls' new dresses or the boys' new dates were the most interesting. All these things helped to make the evening memorable, but best of all was the fact that this was the first school affair to be held in the beautiful new Junior high school. Beatrice DeVore.

H. S. There are five class periods on the schedule for the practice of quartets, glee clubs, orchestra, and soloists. Each year the department works ,toward success in the Verdigris Valley Music contest, which is held here each spring. After the contest is over, preparation is then made for the musical programs of Commencement week. We cannot give too much recognition to the work of our leaders, Miss Evans and Mr. Goepfert. This year, as always, they gave their best to the music work of the school. Musicians tell us that a good accompanist is over half the battle in all vocal and solo instrumental work. In the season just past, even the least musical student in school saw that Betty Sickels is an exceptional pianist a flexible accompanist and a musician of ability beyond her years. Her work in the contest was faultless. Zora Riggs entered the contest as contralto soloist, singing Roadways, by Densmore. Zora has a voice of beautiful quality, which will increase in volume and resonance as she continues her voice studies in college. Although she placed second in the contest, many capable judges thought she earned first place. The baritone soloist, Earl Hussong, is to be congratulated upon the excellent natural quality of his voice. Earl received several letters of praise from prominent directors and music teachers of the state. He won first place, singing The Trumpe- ter, by Dix. The girls' quartet placed in the contest by singing Sweet Miss Mary, a charming though difficult number by Neidlinger. The group composed of Madge Bright, so- prano, Donna Krueger, second soprano, Alice Featherngill, altog and VVintress Oswald, second alto, worked unsparingly to perfect the contest selection. They placed third, out of eight entries. The mixed quartet, composed of Frank Shelton, Donna Krueger, Zora Riggs, and Earl Hussong, received first place, singing Tosti's t'Goodbye. The blending of voices in their number was one of the high points of the contest. The mixed chorus, composed of members of the two glee clubs, was limited to thirty-two members in the con.test. It is one of the outstanding musical organiza- tions of the school, having won first place in every Valley Music contest. This year the contest number, Recessional, by Kipling, was without comparison among the other entries, and received a unanimous first from the judges. Our orchestra is the largest musical group of the school. Under the stimulus of eighty minutes of rehearsal each day, it has developed into one of the finest high school orchestras in the state. t'Masaniello Overturej, by Auber, was the contest number which won second place. We are looking forward to next year, when the steady progress made by Mr, Goepfert and his musicians will earn .them an undis- puted triumph and the decisions of the judges. The members of the boys' and girls' glee clubs, while not participating in the Valley contest, have made steady progress in part singing, and each organization has appeared repeatedly before the public. A Wild Rose, an operetta given by the girls' glee club in the early part of the year, scored a distinct success. Venus Jones, '23, Sixty-Seven.

The I 923 Debate Season Emile Coue has said, 'tllay by day, in every way, Fm getting better and better, but the debate enthusiasts are saying, Year by year, debate is getting better and better? If the charm works, as Coue says it will--well, can't you just see that row of cups, from valley right on up to state championships, standing proudly in our 5, trophy case? More than thirty students entered the preliminary tryouts this year, which shows that interest in this school activity is increasing. From this number 'twelve were chosen to compose the two main teams. They were: affirmative, Kenneth A Cornell, Morna Zell Wagstaff, and Verna Perkins, negative, Bonnie Bell Guernsey, Wallace Spradling, and Carl Niemeyer. Viola Arrington, Earl Huston, Josephine I I-Ioldren, Madge Altman, Katharine Loftus, and Babs Carroll were selected as alter- nates. The first. debate was held 011 February 8. Our negative team met 'Caney on home territory, and won an unanimous decision from the judges. Our affirmative journeyed to Goffeyville, where they met a strong team backed by a large home crowd. The combination was too strong, and we lost the decision by a two to one vote, Viola Arrington deserves special praise for the way in which she filled the place of Verna Perkins, who became ill two days before the debate. The debate committee, composed of Mr. Laury as chairman, Miss Elmore, Miss Kubik, Mr. Davis, Mr. Berry, and Miss Stevens, gave many valuable suggestions to the debaters, while Mrs, Anderson and Miss Self spent much time in training the teams on stage presence and delivery. Mr. George T. Guernsey, Jr., Mr. Thos. Wag- staff, and Supt. Risdon devoted time and attention to the work, and rendered inval- uable aid. Verna Perkins '24, Seventy-Two.

The I 923 Declamallon Contest The declamation contest this year was won by Coffeyville, with Independence a close second, Weeks before, four girls were chosen to try out for the honor of representing I. H. S. in the fourth annual contest of the Verdigris Valley league. For weeks they worked industriously cn four different selections, one of which they all hoped would win first prize. As the time of the contest drew near excitement ran high, and the girls worked harder than ever. They felt that nothing must be left undone .to bring this great honor to I. H. S. . Finally came an evening when the four girls were summoned to read before three competent judges: Supt. Risdon, Mr. A. B. Hookins, and Reverend Luck. A - large audience of interested friends and relatives filled the auditorium, and the tryout i was on. Miss Donna Krueger was chosen as our representative. The contest was held at Oswego January 26, A large number of enthusiastic rooters went along to cheer our reader. Miss Helen Brittan of Coffeyville, who Won i over Donna by only three points, gave the selection entitled The Convict's Violin. The reading Donna gave, As the Flag Went By, was given with much understand- ing and feeling. The judges presented her wi.th a beautiful silver medal, which she in turn gave to the school. This medal is treasured among the many trophies won by the students of I. H. S.

L. music contest, Independence sought more musical worlds to conquer. Accordingly the mixed chorus, the baritone soloist, Earl Hussong, and the piano soloist, Helen Dittmer, were entered in the Inter-state contest at Pittsburg. Both Earl and the mixed chorus had won first in the Valley league, Helen how- ever, had not enterlednthat contest. So, af-ter a mon-t-h of preparation, the entries journeyed to Pittsburg. On April 26, Helen and Earl gave their numbers. On the following day the mixed chorus Sang. Great was the excitement of the school when it was learned that Earl had won first place, competing against baritones and basses of three states. In addition to that Earl received a splendid commendation from the judges. Helen also received an excellent criticism, but because she competed against so many older pianists she was not ranked. The criticism torlthe chorus was also very fine. The judges expressed themselves as being well pleased-with the balance of voices, and they declared that Miss Evans certainly understood the young voice, which is a high cominendation, indeed. On the wholethe' school may feel well pleased with the results of the contest. Seventy-Four. E L QRANGE-ana fBMCK E 'J l! f t-- - Scott Studio lst. Row, Michal, Cloukey, Niemeyer. 2nd.

The 1923 Annual Staff An annual staff is a social experiment, Without previous experience, its mem- bers are asked to carry through a complicated and difficult task, and to get it done on time. School work, and other outside activities equally important as the annual work, must be kept up. Under these trying conditions the true character of each staff worker soon becomes apparent. There is nothing compelling him to do his duty. The temptation to slack or to postpone work is strong, so strong that more than average strength of character is needed to resist. The manner in which the members of the 1923 staff have met this test has been a joy to their faculty advisers. At the first staff meeting in early December, 1922, enthusiasm was aroused which seemed to grow until the last hit of copy was in the hands of the printer, five months later. Chief credit must go to Earl Hussong, who worked untiringly and carried the heavy load of responsibility which goes with the position of editor-in-chief. Earl never failed to deliver results at the time they were expected. His work set an example which was cheerfully followed by .the other members of the staff. Co-operation is the keynote of effective annual work. The spirit of teamwork prevailing in the staff this year has brought pleasure to every worker. Whether or not that spirit has resulted in the production of an annual up tothe fine standard of those published in years gone by, we will leave each reader to judge. Seventy-Five.

Even before school began the new year of 1922-23, the Y. W. C. A. was busy. A week-end was spent at Camp Numpawalla in planning the year's work, and inci- dentally having a good time. The year's program was printed in a pamphlet together with our purpose, theme, and names of the cabinet and advisory board. At the opening ofschool the Y, W. was active as an information bureau and friend to new students. The annual Get Acquainted party took the humorous form of an Old Maid'sf1 reception. Later, the Big and Li.ttle Sister hike made new friends for every girl. In January, when the Dad and Daughter banquet was given, its success made many resolve that it should become an annual affair. New ventures ofthe Y. W. C. A. for this year will be remembered by the Chapel I ff meetings, the printed programs, the bulletin board, and the famous .table in the Y. W. corner. Oh, the Eskimo pies, candy, and sandwiches that have been consumed from that corner! And the money therefrom helped. It helped send Morna Zell Wagstaff, Betty Sickles, Ettha Dungan, Alice Featherngill, Eunice Humphrey, Donna Krueger, Frances Heckman, and Miss Stevens to the conference at Winfield, and Zora Riggs, Grace' Hamlin, Louise Aubuchon, and Frances Heckman to Estes Park. Our club is hoping that the Mid-Winter State conference of 1924 will be held in Independence. ' V The cabinet feels that under the name of Y. VV. C, A. they have had a successful year. They give best wishes to the promising new cabnit under the name of Girl Reserves. To them 'and to all Y. VV. we wish to leave our parting message,- Follow the Gleamf' ' ' Frances Heckman '23.

Chairman Membership The Hi-Y club, although not one of the school's most prominent activi.ties, has a very important place in school life, It is a strong factor in ,the creation of high standards scholastically, socially, and morally. It advocates clean speech, clean sports, and clean living. In so doing it lives up to its stated purpose, which is, To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian living. The ideas received by our delegates to Camp Wood last summer helped to liven up the year's work. Delegates were also sent to -the Mid-Winter Conference at Man- hattan, and reported a fine time and an inspiring meeting. The boys chosen as 1923 delegates to the summer camp are assured of a wonderful vacation trip, The Hi-Y has been of service to the school in various ways. At the opening of school, club members helped acquaint new students with the complexities of life at l. H. S. Refreshments were served at football and basketball games. A minstrel show was given at the high school November 21, and was a great success. A special feature of this year's work has been the chapel meetings every two weeks, In many ways the club has been successful, and we of the old organization hope it will continue to prosper as the years pass.

Their work and efforts were of such a nature as to endure. The next year other active members took up tl1e work. It is to the latter that I wish to draw your attention. The Dee Dee club of '23 elected for president, Jack Stewart: vice president, Marene Ransdell, secretary, Katharine Scott, and treasurer, Henry Speer. Their supervisor was none other than Miss Ingleman, who so capaibly directed the nine plays presented during the year, Of these plays, eight were short one-act farces and comedies, and the last a three-act play, What Happened to Jones, presented at the Beldorf April 2. The eight shorter plays, which made up several evenings entertainment, were: Souvenir Spoons, which was performed ten times, Op-O-Me-Thumb, Suppressed Desires, , 'fThe Try- sting Place, HA Perplexing Situation, An American Harem, t'Love and Tea, and A Pair of Lunaticsf' Such strenuous work as these plays demanded being offset by hikes, picnics, camping .trips, and parties. You will be able to see why these people are sorry to leave I. H. S. Now my story is ended, and I wish you the enjoyment the Dee Dee clubs which are to follow will bring you.

Student During the first year of its existence, our school paper, under a student staff without any special training, was such a pronounced success that Supt. Risdon and the board decided to install a course in journalism as an elective fourth year in English. The response was such that over forty juniors and seniors enrolled in the sub- ject, and for the past year have been actively engaged in mastering the fundamentals of one of the most difficult professions in the world. The product of these classes, in which the student body and .the general public might see the results attained, has been the Independence High School Student, in this the second ,year of its existence. In order to make the paper as much a student enterprise as possible a Student I Editorial board was created, consisting of two members elected from each class, -1 and two faculty members. This board has had charge of the general policy of the paper, finances, and other details, A treasurer, auditor, and faculty adviser were elected by the board, forming a business-like organization for handling and checking all funds. The Situdent has steadily grown in 'the affection and confidence of the student body. Compliments have come in from the most unexpected sources, on its neat appearance-, its balanced makeup, its bright, newsy stories covering all school ac- tivities, its clean-cuit humor, its editorials always pointing 'the way toward a bigger and better I. H. S. We receive these compliments with pride, but hope that in the years to come, in the hands of other students and other teachers, our school paper will continue to improve until it surpasses our fondest hopes.

That she could open the door herself was a thought that never occurred to her. The self-reliance of Ameri- can women is a universally recognized trait. They know what they want-and get it. One of the chief things a housewife wants when shop- ping is good values at low prices. She finds both in our merchandise, so she buys here. Self-reliant women are buying at our 371 stores.
