They hit the trail which led through the Independence High School, b-ecause they deemed it to be the easiest and shortest trail to their destination. So one bright sunny day in September they manfully turned t-heir faces toward their goal and set out on this perilous journey. They soon found the steep, rocky path of experience to be beset with many obstacles and unimaginable horrors, but their dauntless spirit drove they ever onward. Usually the weather was pleasant, but at times the wrath of the storm gods would vent itself on these innocent Pilgrims. They would be deluged with great downpours of demerits-the terrible thunderbolt of -the faculty-that forced them to take refuge in the damp gloomy cavern of detention. But these storms were of short durationg the sun of dicipline ultimately prevailed and drove the storm clouds away, allowing the Pilgrims to continue on the trail. While thus wearily toiling onward under the burning sun of school dicipline, with nothing to quench their thrist but the bitter, yet invigorating water of physical training, their path 'became so devious and their obstacles so numerous that many of them fell by the way slide to loll on the shady slopes of laziness and to quaf the soporific nectar of self contentment. But the remaining Pilgrims, imbued with ever increasing strength, crossed the slough of Mathematics, swam the ,torrent of history, waded the mire of English, leaped the abyss of science, surmoiunted the rugged crags of music and, after many o-ther prodigious feats of strength, finally reached the summit of the Mountain of Knowledge. Here they found, as compen- sation for their many ltrials and labors, the rosebush of success from which each of the surviving Pilgrims were allowed to pluck the sweet flower of graduation. The world pays homage to the wearer of the much thought flower, not only because it is la symbol of the knowledge which he has acquired, but also its possession is evidence that he has fought and won the first battle of life. No Molly coddle of puerile pampered youth ever wore it, but only those who have proved themselves to be paragons of ag- gressiveness, doers and not observers, possessors of strong, rugged char- acters and indomitable willsg in fact, only those who are indelibly stamped with the mark, of verile 'Manhood and Womanhood are to be found among the favored few. We are sure this hardy endulrance will not desert them when they make their plunge 'into the whirlpool of life, but will cause them to stem the tide of failure and to safely reach the shoals of success.

H. S. Not as the conquerer comes They the true hearted came Not with the roll of the stirring drums, Or the trumpet that sings of Fame. With undaunted spirit We had braved unknown peril and danger for the sake of history and the traditions of Independence High School, and for the sake of future generations of freshmen. At the first class session we found ourselves anchored without danger and thanked Providence for our comfort and safety. The sophomores, whom we observed peering at us curiously from the halls, and of Whom there seemed a large number, alarmed us not a little, but their curiosity was ably accounted for by the fact that we Were in- deed the first freshmen seen by them since their own arrival in the year nineteen hundred and twenty. Then, cautiously at first, We established ourselves on friendly relations with the teachers and upper classmen. We then began to labor and store up an abundant supply of knowledge for the long years to come. Verily, as freshmen we made for ourselves a record. Even those clothed in the most becoming intelligence and sobriety declared that play, if of innocent and agreeable nature, was not harmful. Wherewithal a commendable dramatic performance, entitled Jimmy's Aunt Jane was presented. The maidens of that time who displayed much musical talent Fifty-two lF. 5E55G EE lI ORANGE lr me ess XLR X ma -are BLACK, banded into a glee club. Later a beautiful colonial banquet was planned and there was great feasting and rejoicing CAh, those were good old days.J It was therefore with something of regret that We closed our books for a time. Some had become discouraged by the hardness of the times during that first Winter and gave up the cause. The sturdy little band that re- mained were encouraged to learn that We Were to be joined by a new colony of sophomores, Who had spent the previous year in the Lincoln building. It was then We became famed throughout the land for all forms of the most profitable activities such as music, declamation, debate, and ath- letics. In the numerous struggles with neighboring football enemies Eldridge Roach and Alford Prescott, brave, and stalwart youths, were responsible for our victories. In debate our cause was supported by four right valiant orators. On the school's basketball team Evelyn Roberds and Beulah Goodell were stars. In the mixed quartette Alice Featherngill, and Frank Shelton sang with right good will, and bravely indeed. We were proud of our piano contestant, Betty Sickels, of notable and Well deserved fame. Later, in track Everett Sanford and Alford Prescott fought bravely for us. Along with our victories there was sorrow. We were saddened by the death of our worthy leader, Mr. Nees. We then had sent to us a Mr. Hughes, a good and upright man, and a firm commander, and under whose leadership We expect much good fortune. The fall of nineteen twenty-three found us again ready for the stren- uous Work before us, if We Were to continue as the best class of Indepen- dence High School. W In football we were again upheld by Eldridge Roach, who returned to us battle scarred and covered with glory from many previous experiences. We still had members of our class in quartette, glee clubs, and a loyal band of us persevered and again took part in the orchestra and chorus. In debate we had Bonnie Bell Guernsey and Josephine Holdren to contend with the non-elect of the surrounding communities. In the Indian turkey shoot and horse race, Where skill and practice is necessary, the juniors came out victorious, with Spark Plug running a right valiant race With Zev and the Sheik. if I ' Next year remains in which to uphold our traditions and aspirations so with tenacity of purpose, and courage of heart we wish the goodhand of Providence to be with the Classe of Nineteen twenty-five: -Grace Swartz, '25.

We did not start out as the classes of old-on horseback or as the latter classes by auto, but we are soaring high in a modern aeroplane to find the Golden .Apples of Knowledge at the end of the journey. As the tributaries of a river, whlich wend their ways through valleys and over rocks, finally meet, so have We come together from the various elementary sch'ools. As Freshmen our forces combined into two sections: vthe larger going to the Lincoln, the other to the High School. 'This year we have met for the first time as one and have swelled to the magnificent number of two-hundred and fifty-two. We do not wish to brag or to belittle the classes of former years but some of the teachers say we are the most brilliant class they ever had Cthis is their first yeair of teachingb despite the fact that some of us have been upon the carpet, er-r iooking at the pictures CD. We have participated in all the events of fthe season except the Dee Dee 'Club and that is only because the haughty Seniors refuse to let us participate in their good times and plays. We started the season off by having a large bunch go out for foot- ball. 'Three of our number, Bus Taylor, Tubby Deer, and Red Harris, succeeded in playing to such a degree of perfection that they were allowed to represent Independence High School on several gridiron battles. Also Harold Featherngill was captain of the second squadmen. Fifty-six lsmaeesw am xzl Sophomore Class Roll URANGE ls BG ,5G-515 5 At our second class meeting we got so bold as to believe ourselves able to defeat the Juniors in debate, and consequently We challenged them. Olur offer was accepted and the foe was vanquished -by Tubby Deer, Catherine Stout and Ellis Chaney. The Seniors were then challenged. They defeated us on the question of Bobbed Hair. After that we had no more class meetings because -of 'the lack of room, but nevertheless our officers: Howard Burns, presidentg Bob Swfitzer, vice president, James Gilmore, secretary, Lawrence Holt, treasurerg Helene Inge and Fred Blockover, reportersg and Miss Stevens, sp-onsor have con- tinued to work at their respective duties. Next came basketball and one of our number out of the many that went -out, Bob Switzer, be-came captain of the second team. Those who are musically inclined of our class are working faith- fully in the Glee Club, Chorus and Orchestra. Our latest success, however, came when two of our number, James Gilmore and Ellis Chaney won a place on the Independence High School Debating Teams which achieved victory over the Verdigris Valley, the district contest, and the State semi-finals. We, the Sophomores, are well represented in both the Hi-Y and Y. W. C. A. Now in this -brief resigme I have attempted to disclos-e to you the clear fact that our class is the best going, one fthat can not be beat, and that we are soaring high with the Golden Apples of Knowledge in sight. -Ellis 'Chaney '26.

Sixty IF as ul RANGE lz Bm5'saXf::c:+2.zQs-:-:f:4'Ef:: funior High History The Good Ship funior Higlf' Eight months and four weeks ago, C. S. Risdon, Superintendent of Public Schools, issued a proclamation to all children of the seventh, eighth and ninth grades to set sail on the Sea of Knowledge, September tenth, nineteen hundred twenty-three, in the good ship Junior High. Great excitement was created, bookstores were flooded, and streets were overrun with children. Then the great day came! From every corner poured forth a violent stream of the youth of our city, 650 strong, eager, yet afraid to reach their destination. The children were not disappointed, however, for on arriving at the Wharf, which is located at the intersection of Tenth and Locust streets, they found await- ing them the most wonderful ship that ever sailed the Sea of Knowledge. It had a re-inforced concrete frame with a Gothic exterior of ox-blood vitrified brick trimmed with terra cotta and Carthage stone. The mechan- ical equipment of the ship consisted of a vapor vacuum steam heating sys- tem, with automatic control and a vacuum cleaner system for the entire plant. The ship consisted of three decks: the lower furnishing an ideal lo- cation for the departments of Manual Training, Printing, Machine Shop Practice, Cabinet-Making, Mechanical Drawing, the swimming pool, and the two gymnasiums. The second was found to be an appropriate place for the academic departments, as well as the beautiful assembly hall. The upper deck was fitly occupied by the Sewing, Cooking and Millinery de- partments and last, but not least, the spacious Cafeteria, which, with its inviting appearance and palatable foods caused the sailors to rush madly thither at the sound of the dinner gong. After embarking at the Harbor of Enrollment, they took their respec- tive places in the uneven ranks and started on the long voyage. The first few miles were rough indeed, being interspersed by Storms of Program Difficulties, but their brave and worthy captain, Mr. Hughes, and his crew of efficient teachers took command of the chaotic group, and in the course of a few days the storm subsided and all was smooth sailing. The captain then assigned each member of the crew to a cabin, which was called a Home Room, in which each had a definite part to play on board the ship.

All were anxious to go ashore and explore them. They first landed on Debating Island. Eight of the members of the ninth grade class participated in a debate on the question Resolved, that the acquisition of the Philippine Islands will ulti- mately prove of more value to the United States than the Purchase of Alaska. When this interesting debate was over they felt certain that the future would disclose several Lincolns or Douglases in their midst. Next they visited Entertainment Island, which seemed to be the most interesting of all. Here they took part and contested in football, basketball, swimming and those of their number who showed by their bird-like voices that they were songsters, joined the glee clubs and the chorus. Two other organizations, which proved to be highly entertaining were the band and orchestra, to each of which a goodly number of the passengers belonged. All would have been well but for the Storms of Examinations which overtook them. Nevertheless, most of the passengers came through with flying colors, while a few took sick with the fatal disease called Hflunking 3 however, there is no doubt but that the passengers of Junior High will surpass all others as mathematicians, historians, linguists, carpenters, mechanics, printers and housewives, because of the wonderful opportuni- ties provided for them. As they glance into the distance they are sure that some of our future presidents, statesmen, and other great leaders will be chosen from their ranks, even as they expect on their graduation day to hear the people of their fair city say, Well done, thou passengers of the good ship 'Junior High'. --Maxine Boner '27.

At last the first day of practice was announced and Coach Beal found upon his arrival at the gridiron eight lettermen and fifty-four candidates eager to begin the season's work. Using these eight lettermen as a nucleus Mr. Beal developed the lightest and one of the scrappiest teams that ever trotted onto the grid- iron, wearing the Orange and Black. Determinedly fighting against teams that outweighed them from two to fifteen pounds to the man, the Bulldogs never failed to display that old fight and spirit that has won for them their name. At the close of the season the Bulldogs had won five, tied two and lost three of the ten games. played. This scrapping aggregation, minus Capt. Smith, Roach, and Feathern- gill, got into real action for the first time on September 28, when Parsons and the Bulldogs mixed in a fast game, which ended 0-0. The Orange and Black was seriously handicapped by the injury of Glen Scott during the first quarter. The following Friday the Bulldogs journeyed to Caney, bared their teeth, and proceeded to show that team once again that the Orange and Black has the football team, by defeating them 7-0. The honor of being the first to lug the ball across for a touchdown goes to Featherngill, who made the only touchdown. Primed for another victory the Bulldogs next displayed their ability as mudhogs, when Neodesha was sent home with the 0 end of a 3-0 score. A drop kick by Brady during the third quarter netted the only points made in this mud battle. With the sweet taste of victory fresh in their minds the team trimmed Oswego to the tune of 52-0, during the week of the Teachers Meeting. Many second string men were used in this game. Full of the old fighting spirit the gang next clashed with our neigh- bor to the far north, Fredonia, and dished out to them the 0 end of 6-0 battle. Brady got hold of a fumble and dashed ninety-five yards for the only touchdown. On November 2. the Bulldogs plowed about in one of the muddiest games ever seen on the gridiron, the Cherryvale game. Neither team was able to make much progress, and the game resulted in a scoreless tie. For the first time in four years the Bulldogs met defeat when they tangled with the boys from Winfield. Playing against a heavier team and a different type of football the Orange and Black emerged with 6 points, while Winfield had 39. Next week Independence journeyed to the fair city of Altamont and returned victors with Altamont's scalp in the form of a 32-0 score. For the first time in the school's history an Orange and Black team invaded the Arkansas Valley. Wichita, with its heavier team and open style of play, succeeded in winning this contest. The last game of the season, and the last game for seventeen of the lettermen, with our friends from Javatown, was postponed because of the heavy snow. After several days of anxious waiting and suspense the big battle was staged. Coffeyville won this fracas by six points. This loss to Coffeyville and the tie with Cherryvale gave Caney the highest percentage and the Valley Championship.

HOWARD WEBBER, '24, height 5 feet 8521, inches, weight 152 pounds. Webber played his third year of football as an Independence half back. One of Howard's years of football, his first, was played at the foreign city of Garnett. Howard however realized his mistake and for the past two years has been working hard for Independence. Webber is a player whose absence will be keenly felt for some years to come. FRED BRADY, '24, height 5 feet 6 inches, weight 135 pounds. Brady is a living example of the old saying The best things often come in the small- est packages. Brady has an uncanny way of snatching passes and getting away for good gains. He is the possessor of a Well trained toe, doing a' large portion of our drop kicking. Fred graduates this year. GLEN SCOTT, '24, height 5 feet 9 inches, weight 160 poumds. This was Glen's third year on the team. He was a good tackle or full back, being equally -capable of handling an opponent or the ball. A broken collar bone kept Glen out of all but four games.

The patrolman was very efficient in preventing questionable characters from getting loose into our back field.

' Q The team regrets to lose Rouse for he was always there with a good word to the man who was down. ROY QNOISEYJ CARR, '24, height 5 feet 10 inches, weight 152 pounds. Noisey is one of the exponents of the theory that action makes more im- pression than words. As a guard it is hard to find his equal.

It never was neces- sary for the referee to warn him about unsportsmanlike conduct. ROBERT QHCHIEFUJ LEWIS, '24, height 5 feet 815 inches, weight 145 pounds. Last year the Chief substituted in several games but not enough to get his letter. This year however he was the regular center.

But unfortunately this has not been done. Girls' basketball is the only organized girls' sport which the high school sponsors. It is a clean, hard game where individual training and endurance reward one with honor, but where one member cannot rely on the rest of the team to make up for her own weakness. Basketball has more for its players than mere physical exercise. It teaches each player the great lesson of co-operation. In I. H. S. girls' basketball is ranked equal with all other sports, and athletic letters are given to the players. Miss Helen Spradling coaches basketball. She is a fine instructor and is adored by the girls. She has been with Independence for the past three years as coach of girls' athletics. When Coach Penny issued her call for players last winter there was quite a response. She had to announce basketball but once to have the gym crowded with girls who wished to play. With Captain Donna Krueger guard, and Dola Bever, Beulah Goodell, Morna Zell Wagstaff, Evelyn Roberds, and Viola Arrington of last year's squad, Penny was able to build up a very good team. This year's basketball season was not particularly successful from the standpoint of games lost and won. Many of the games were lost by a close margin of two or three points. But the record of games lost and won is not the only compensation of a team. There are those friendships formed of close association, the happy memories of good times together, and a feeling that you have given something to your school.

His courteous attitude toward opponents characterized him as a real sportsman as Well as an all around athlete. NILES SMITH, '24, Brady's running mate, was known throughout the valley as a fast and dangerous man when it came to handling the ball. Snick's ability to get the ball to Brady is responsible largely for the points hung up by us. This was Niles' second year on the team and We regret very much that he has played his last game of athletics for I. H. S. 'MURL BURNWORTH, '24, made this his big year by winning letters in all three branches of athletics, football, basketball and track. This was Murl's first year in basketball, but he Was able to take the ball from the best of them. Graduation takes Murl from -I. H. S. and leaves a place hard to fill. PAUL FEATHERNGILL, '24, played his first year of basketball for I. H. S. as both guard and center, alternating to fit the style of the opponent's play. Feather was one of the main cogs in our defensive machine, as Well as a valuable, agressive basket-hitter. CLYDE PEDEN, '24, made his first I as a center on the basketball team. Unlike most of his colleagues, Peden is tall and could go up after it. He was espe-cially valuable to the home team as a defensive player. He acted as 'pivot man for the squad.

At the call of Coach Beal fifty aspirants reported for practice. They were soon transformed into strong, hardy players, imbued with that fighting spirit characteristic of I. H. S., and glad of the opportunity to be of some service to their school. The difficulty encountered in giving this throng of new, raw material ffor Captain Brady and Niles Smith were the only veterans of former yearsj the amount of attention necessary for the development of the best in each man made it advisable to divide the squad. Finally, a group of fifteen was selected to represent I. H. S. in her contests during the winter. The first game of the season was played with Longton, in which we came out with the long end of the score. On our first road trip we drop- ped a game to both Winfield and Arkansas City by a decisive score. In the opening game of the Valley conflicts, Independence came into her own when she defeated Caney in an extra five minute period required to break the tie. fOf course the best team wonj. Independence was handed her only defeat, in the first round of games, by those long boys of Fredonia. We have been puzzled to know just how those tall boys thrive in such a box-like gymnasium as we saw on this trip. It has been said that the center of the floor had been sanded down some to let their center find a spot where he could stretch to full height, and rest from his long runs in a stooped and cramped position. About this time news was received to the effect that I. H. S. was suspended from the State Athletic Association, and that the game won from Caney should be forfeited. After certain steps were taken Indepen- dence was permitted to turn back the sweaters issued football men and thereupon be re-instated. After re-instatement Independence lost to Caney and forfeited two postponed games to Fredonia and Neodesha. We then entered the district tournament. but it seems that an ill omen was still prevailing over us. We lost our first game to Yates Center. in the consolations we won from Tyro and then lost the next match to Caney. Although our basketball season does not seem as creditable as in some years past, we are all justly proud of the boys who carried on for us. Undefeated teams cannot go on forever. We again find out that we are only human. and that we must meet with triumph and disaster and beat those two imposters just the same. All of the letter-men of this year's team graduate. However, our outlook is bright for the coming year. We have great material in store for the moulding of a ufightin' five next year.

History of Our Track Team The above pictured athletes compose the best of the squad which re- ported for practice on the track this season, and it is upon them, or at least many of them, that the hopes of I. H. YS. are based this season. Under the guidance of Coach Beal, the squad has been rapidly shaped into an effective organization. The first meet of the season was held at Riverside Park between Cha- nute and Independence, Independence winning the meet by the score of 77 to 38. Chanute was outclassed in all events except the discus throw and the pole vault, in which they Won first place. Captain Howard Webber is a consistent and hard worker on the cinder path. By the example and the pace he is setting for his team-mates we are expecting a well balanced and efficient team in all events both on the field and on the track. The record of I. H. S. in the Valley Meet for the past four years has been an enviable one, taking first place two years, and second place two years. The Relay team losing only one race in the history of track in the Verdigris Valley League. I. H. S. was again winner of the Verdigris Valley Meet. This Meet was characterized throughout by record-smashing events. Three of the records broken were made by I. H. S. men. The 440-yard dash by Captain Webber, the 50-yard and the 220-yard dashes both were broken by Renner, who is now joint holder of the WORLD'S RECORD in the 50-yard dash. The time was: 50-yard dash, 5.2 seconds, 220-yard dash, 23 secondsg 440- yard dash, 53.2.

Among the organizations we find all those teams that have so splen- didly fought and upheld the school honor, football, basketball, and then track. Turning from athletics, we find a district champion debate team, another organization of whom we are all proud. Independence is conceded to have one of the finest musical depart- ments in this section of the state. Why? Simply because of those organi- zations Who have labored so faithfully under the supervision of Miss Hazel Hardy and Mr. Paul O. Goepfert. Under the direction of these two, Miss Hardy directing the vocal work and Mr. Goepfert the band and orchestra, I. H. S. was able to enter in the Valley Music Contest representatives of whom every student is indeed proud, both the boys' and the girls' quartets, the mixed chorus, Henry Dorsey, as violin soloist and Helen Dittmer as piano soloist, and the wonderful seventy-five piece orchestra. All of our entrants made a splendid showing and displayed the true Independence spirit, and although the music cup does not this year rest in our trophy case we feel that this is not due to any lack of effort on the part of our music department, merely one of the whims of fate. Can you imagine a football game Without Boola-Boola at the whistle? A football game without the band Would be worse than a circus without pink lemonade. Never lacking in spirit or pep these boys have always been on hand to cheer and liven us up and help bring the Orange and Black out a victor. Too much praise cannot be given the band or its director, Mr. Goepfert. Aside from those organizations representing us in the field of con- tests we find the Y. W. C. A. and the Hi-Y, developing in us the very best, thru their three sided programs, and bringing out in each person- ality those things most necessary for success in after life. Then consider the Dee Dee Club. This organization is responsible for the plays presented during the year as well as many a good time, as any member will testify. Then there are many clubs organized to aid in the class work, as well as provide a good time, the Science club, the Spanish club, the D. S. S., and many others. The Home-Room groups should be mentioned in this connection. Our class organizations all play an important part in carrying on the school work and developing that feeling of unity and strength so neces- sary for the very best in school activities, as Well as the development of a feeling of comradeship, characteristic of our school. Eighty-one I 5' G tm 1. H. S. Band Every student in our high school realizes fully how important the band is to keeping up our spirits and pep. This lively bunch accompanied our football team at each of our home games, and to one of those away. They were so anxious to see I. H. S. Win that they earned enough money to accompany the teams. Also at each of the home basketball games there were always some of the band present. We hope this spirit will continue in the years to come.

Under the skillful direction of Professor Goepfert this group has steadily grown until this year it contains T5 pieces. Although the orchestra did not take first place in the Verdigris Valley Music Contest, in the minds of the judges, those who took part feel .they did their best and are only that much better prepared for the coming contest of '25.

However, we are ready to accept the blame for this volume of the Orange and Black, then let us die in peace. Little did We dream of the many weary hours of labor, the effort required and tax upon the nervous system, especially the brain, required to get out even a volume such as this. From the very beginning an Annual f-Sltaff 'is indeed a funny propo- sition. Here are some ten or eleven people, selected from the Senio-r class, with no experience at alll and only a very faint idea of just what is re- quired of them. About all they know is that somehow, some-way, sometime, they are to get out the Annual. Indeed that is a staggering, almost ter- rorizing, thought, but when the real size of the job begins to dawn upon these members they wonder what they've done to deserve such punishment. Through the efforts of the entire staff, the real teamwork neces- sary to success, this book has appeared. 'The verdict, of whether or not this volume is a success, is left to you. If your like it, it has been a success, if not our humble efforts have to a certain degree failed. If you have spent any time whatever in -company with the Editor you will remembe-r the main topic concerned our 'beloved 'Orange and Black. However, laying all fun aside and overlooking to some extent a few of our faults, we admit we are mighty proud of our 'Orange and Black. You who follow us will realize our feelings, an-d will experience as much as we. So beware that you do not criticize too much.

Independence High School Student The Independence High School Student has but one purpose, and that is to boost the public schools of Independence. Worthy school enter- prises are not only advertised, but a permanent record is made of these activities. The Student is as good as the students make it. The staff always welcomes criticisms and suggestions. No mention of this year's achievements of the Student is necessary for the members of the present student body, but for the benefit of pos- terity some details of the record are set down: Twenty-eight issues, as against fourteen of last year, have been pub- lished. Fifteen hundred subscribers, three times the number of any previous year, constitute the circulation. One thousand extra copies of the eight page Christmas edition were sold. For their assistance in these sales, the Y. W. C. A. received 332500. Four thousand two hundred fifty copies of an eight-page Teachers' Edition were published and distributed to teachers and students on the occasion of the Kansas State Teachers' Association meeting in Indepen- dence in October, 1923. The Student changed from 'ttwice-a-month to once-a-week basis of issue. Advertising rates have been reduced. What is believed to be the most complete departmental library on Journalism to be found in Kansas has been established. Much credit is due Marlin Reppert. instructor in printing, and his students, and to Jessie P. Stewart, instructor in stenography and type- writing, and her students, for their practical assistance in making these achievements possible.

Here we planned the year's program receiving help from our guests and inspiration from the woods. The year's program was printed in a pamphlet together with our purpose, theme, and names of the cabinet and advisory board. Our first venture was a book stand information bureau. With so many new Little Sisters in the school an unusually large number enjoyed the Big and Little Sister Hike and the swim at the Junior High after- wards. Our other two big social events were the Dad and Daughter ban- quet and the party for our Mothers. Few students can think of the football games this year without also remembering the Hot Dogs and Weinies. The Music contest brings memo- ries of Eskimo pies and home made candy. This money We used to send members for next year's cabinet to Wichita and Estes. One of the most joyful affairs of the winter was the Christmas party, when Fat Prescott as Santa Claus remembered all the good little boys and girls. We feel our year has been a successful one. Our theme for the year Was Builders and We tried to build a firm foundation on which the fol- lowing cabinets may build so that the club may continue to Live truly, think purely, Right wrong and honor God. -Morna Zell Wagstaff, '24.

HI-Y The Hi-Y Club began this year with Mr. R. F. White as faculty advisor, and with Wayne Harris as president. His cabinet was composed of the following members: Harold Bullock, vice-president, Harold Shile, treasurerg Carl Gillen, secretaryg Fred Brady, social committee, Ellis Chaney, meetings and programsg Murl Burnworth, service committeeg John Schrantz, devotional committee. Later in the year, Wayne Harris had to resign on account of his duties on the Annual Staff 5 John Schrantz was elected president, and Joe Newell was appointed chairman of the De- votional committee. Several Hi-Y conferences were attended by local representatives. The first was the State Hi-Y conference held at Lawrence. At this confer- ence Independence was representd by Harold Bullock, Harold Shile, Carl Gillen, Ellis Chaney, John Schrantz, Jesse Davis and Earl Burnworth, un- der the supervision of Mr. White. On the return from Lawrence, a report of the conference was given by the delegates at the regular Hi-Y night meeting. The second conference was held at Fort Scott. This was a dis- trict conference. The delegates from Independence were Harold Shile, Jesse Davis and Oren Hamlin. V The regular Hi-Y meetings were held on Tuesday night. The meet- ings began at 7:30 with half an hour in either the swimming pool or the gymnasium. The time between eight and nine o'clock was spent in Bible study, with An Older Boy's Problem as the text. The subjects for the meetings were taken by different boys, so that each one had a chance to conduct a meeting. Last summer Independence was represented at the Hi-Y camp, Camp Wood, at Elmsdale.

S., was organized by the Seniors of the Oral English classes in 1921, with Miss Anna Ingleman as sponsor. The Dee Dee Club has a three-fold purpose: to promote the arts of public speaking, public reading, and dramatics. Many of the members of this club have taken active parts in the dif- ferent school events. For instance, Helen Dittmer, won first place in the Verdigris Valley Declamation Contest which was held at Caney, January 25, thereby winning a beautiful silver loving cup for the school. Two others who helped to win cups are Josephine Blades and Donna Krueger, members of the victorious debate teams. Frank Renner was in the Star Oratorical Contest tryout. It has been a custom of the Dee Dee Club to give several plays each year, so on December 7, the club presented Come Out of the Kitchen, a three-act comedy by A. E. Thomas from the story by Alice Duer Miller. On February 26, a crowded house enioyed the Dee Dee Colonial pro- gram which consisted of two plays, Washington's First Defeat, and Katy Did. Besides the longer plays, many one-act plays have been given, some of which are: Bills, which was given in chapel and at six other entertainments, Either or Eyther, which was given in chapel, Love in All Corners was presented at the College Club Carnival at the Memorial Hall, Bread, Butter, and Romance was presented in chapel and at the Presbyterian Guild, Mechanical Jane at chapel and Eastern Star, Food was presented at the athletic carnival, and other places. The club has turned in at least 3100.00 to the general school fund every year, from the plays. It is needless to say that the members of this organization do not devote all of their time to studying for the members and their guests enjoyed a picnic supper at Camp Numpawallah, January 24, and they enjoyed a similar picnic at the camp April 1. The entire school feels that the Dee Dee Club is a valuable asset to this institution of learning. Ninety llexeafailiaiia em xll 11472551 e :sense 1 Q25ii'lei?l:,gL -3.1441 ij E-Q31 ff BL !

And in the one lost debate, our team received a higher percentage than the opposing team. This splendid success is due to the untiring efforts of the debaters, which began two months before the Christmas holidays, and continued throughout the vacation and until the end of the season. Two silver loving cups-the V. V. League cup and Third District State League cup-were added to the trophy case of I. H. S. through the efforts of the debaters this year. Resolved, that the United States should enter the League of Nations is the question which was debated. The high value of school and community co-operation is shown by the debating work of this year. Miss Anna Gemmell, city librarian, con- cerned herself, even before the debaters were chosen, with assembling the significant material on the question. In like manner, Mr. George T. Guernsey, Jr. made a distinct contribution to the success of the debaters through his work with the negative team. The faculty committee on debate consisted of: L. R. Hiatt, Chairman, Nita Ferguson, Barbara Gansel, E. J. Castillo, John P. Tevis, and Bess G.

Caesar had his Brutus, Napoleon his Waterloo, and the bookworms have their Tacky Day. If this is treason Cagainst the facultyb, we make the most of it. 'Nleither the scorn of the workers n-or the disgust of the grinds, as they disdainfully observe our tattered raiments with contemp- tuous optics, is able to humiliate us. It only causes us to realize more forcibly the importance of this democrati-c movement. Those members of the pedestrianial fraternity who were in the vicinity of Independence on the morning of April 1 ambled out of their lPackards, which stood on the Santa Fe tracks, and turned their faces toward the Independence high school, where the annual convention of the Knights of the Road was to .be in session. The hardboiled gang shuffled into the halls of our high schools, to all appearances dyed-in-the-wool, blown-in-the-bottle hoboes and fhoboesses. Silk shirts, straw hats and all other accoutrements of an advertising dummy will bring the wearer no prestige on this dayg a humble spirit, a forlorn appearance and a beggarly heart is all that is re-quired. Jews, actresses, dough-boys, old maids, detectives and infants ran rampant. They were everywhere from 7:30 a. m. until late in the day,-or until vigorous wear on the already fragile garments necessitated the departure of the owners. The big event of the day was Jayvil1e Junction, given under the di- rection of Miss Ingleman. Miss Katharine Loftus, a character in the play, was awarded first prize for the tackiest costume. Another feature of the day was the foolish edition of The Student. A half thousand extra copie-s of this edition were sold on the streets by the Senior class. During the day, all Santa Fe trains were met and the passengers all witnessed a show free of charge. Except for this day the teachers would hold our nose to the grindstone of toil, if they were able, until worn out and exhausted We would assume somewhat the appearance of Egyptian mummies. The testimony of the Senior class is to the effect that this is the best day in the entire four years of -high school. This day is passed on to you Juniors. Keep it alive and full of good clean sport that will ever develop in I. H. S. that spirit of democracy and friendliness that is so essential in all lines of activity, both in and out of school.

Although under an independent board of management and maintained by separate tax, its co-operation with the schools is as close as is the high school library. The specific courses of collateral reading for all grades of junior and senior high school have been Worked out by the librarian. In all depart- ments where reference work is required the pupils do much of it in this institution. Miss Anna Gemmell, Librarian, is deeply interested in the student body. She is untiring in her efforts in their behalf. She has not only organized her reading material so that the best of reference Works is accessible, but has instructed the pupils in the use of the library so that they are becoming independent in their research Work. She has done very valuable Work in collecting and organizing material for the debate squad and the students are fully appreciative of her efforts. There is not a better organized or a more efficiently managed library in the state.

Word As this volume of the Orange and Black crawls agonizingly to press with a snail-like pace, the Staff heaves a sigh of relief. Owing to the financial condition of the Orange and Black for several years past, we have kept a fairly conservative line throughout the book. Our aim has been to give you the best book yet published by our school, and to give you a book that is truly successful from the financial side. We have done the latter and are just conceited enough to believe that we have succeeded equally as well in the quality of the publication. As the staff of the 1924 Orange and Black we wish to thank every member of the faculty and student body who assisted in any Way in the production of this book. We want to thank the various organizations for their loyal support and co-operation. To each advertiser, who even under the financial thunder cloud showed their good will toward I. H. S. by backing this volume, we voice our ap- preciation and assure you our patronage and good will through the years to come. We are thankful for the time spent and the advice given by Mr. Reinhard. He was always ready to help at any time, day or night, when his only reward was the realization that he had helped the youth of his community in a noble enterprise. We repeat it again Thank you. On behalf of the Senior class, we say to the Juniors, in the fainiliar Words: Carry on. Make the coming year your big year. You receive in proportion as you give. See that your Alma Mater never goes lacking for your best support in any worthy line of activity. You will soon be Seniors. Whatever you do will have a great deal of bearing on what the student body as a whole does. Co-operate in all lines of activity, and push ever forward. See that you set your aims and ideals high and then fight without fear towards your goal. So, all in all, we're glad to have had the opportunity to publish this volume, and to work with a student body and faculty of boosters. Here's hoping you will like the book, and after a pleasant summer meet in these halls of I. H. S. having fully decided to make the best school in the country still better. -MARLIN F.

It is this practice that gives 100 cents' worth of value in goods for every dollar spent here. I YOU KNOW YOU ARE SAFE when you order drugs from us.

Divide your time wisely between your sturlies and outside activities. Re- member thut the girl who spends too much of her time with her nose in either her books or her powder puff will grow lop-sided. The percentage of successful men in Independence is considerably higher umong' college men than in any other class. Make the most of your four year start in the business world over the college men with Whom you will later compete. If you apply yourself there is no reason why you should not gain a commanding lead in this time. There is as much to be learned outside of higher schools than in them, if you are made of the right stuff and are willing to dig a little harder for it. The majority of successful men in Independence have had no college training but have learned well in other schools.
