S. RISDON, Superintendent Superintendent C. S. Risdon has been at the head of the Independence public school system for the past twenty-three years. During this time he has built up one of the foremost school systems in Kansas, if not in the entire west. He has been the Constant Coun- cellor and advisor of the students and he always has their best interests at heart. Superintendent Risdon knows the students individually as well as anyone in the system and is a friend that the students will al- ways remember. It is through his efforts that our schools have received the national reputation, that they now enjoy.

For some of you the audit covers but a year of endeavor, for the seniors, it compasses four years. Yesterday is gone, the ledgers are closed, no more entries can be made or none erased. Tomorrow, rich in promise, invites us to open new accounts, but our entries of yesterday remain fixed and irrevo- cable. They are permanent chapters in our book of life be they classics or be they rubbish. In years to come, strains and echoes arising from these experi- ences will strike on our hearts and ears be they symphonies or be they jazz. Painstaking or careless, we are all weaving our tapestry of life. Into it is woven our ideals, our aspirations, our yearnings, our hopes, our victories and our defeats. So school is more than a preparation for life, it is a most vital sector of life. It is an amalgamation of basic material and architectural skill which constitutes the foundation upon which the whole of life's superstructure is builded. In the main, we feel that this is a year of large dividends to you. You have grown in mental stature, you have experienced the dicipline of earnest endeavor, habits of constructive application to your tasks have crystallized, and best of all you have been happy, Wholesome, loyal, lovable boys and girls. Of all the harmonies that arise from the world of men, that roll and swell and reverberate amid the celestial spheres until they mingle with the oratorios of the choir invisible, I believe no strains are so clear or melodies so sweet to the ear of the Infinite as are the voices of our pure hearted, hopeful, trusting boys and girls. Whether you go to college or to what the world terms work, my heart goes with you. It will rejoice at your victories and I hope buck you up in hours of defeat. For discouragements will come. Yet, only to evaluate your metal, obstacles to test and build your strength, life's cruciblelto purge and refine your character. To the end, the law of compensation holds true. Earnest, persistent endeavor brings its ultimate reward. Only by giving do we receive. There is a destiny that makes us brothers: None goes his way alone. All that we send into the lives of others Comes back into our own. So stand firm to your ideals and steadfast to your purposes, hit the line with your last ounce of energy and grit, and you must win.

He came to us at a difficult time, that of the organization of the new Junior high school, but he proved an able executive and soon had the system run- ning smoothly. Both faculty and students have found him interested in our problems and ever willing to give us the benefit of his impartial judgement. Under his leadership I. H. S. is assured of holding her place as the best school of her class in the United States. V a..d'.-1:32-:.. :'.:+p. Huw ........ ....A me s---s i ,..

You have now completed the course of study as prescribed by law and provided for you by the citizens and taxpayers of this city. The course of study that you have pursued from the primary department to the completion of your high school work has been provided for you by the Public at no little expense. No doubt, after all, the real distinguishing virtue of American Civilization and Government is its common school educational system. History records that the Founders of the American Government and the Fathers of our Repub- lic provided for our system of common school education long before the select- ion of our national emblem, Old Glory. In this, the Fathers builded better than they knew, for as long as our people have contributed to the common weal in the maintenance of the public educational system, or the American common school, the Public has maintained for the benefit of the people and civilization a veritable melting pot of citizenship, and just so long as our people are cognizant of their responsibilities as citizens and generously contribute to our educational institutions and common school system, just so long will Old Glory wave unsullied to the breeze and remain the Emblem of Liberty and PubliC Freedom. You graduates of the senior class are therefore the refined produce from that pot of citizenship hereinbefore referred to and your many personal friends, as well as all the citizens of this city look forward with pleasure and satisfac- tion to the positions you are to, and will, take in the activities of life. We feel that you are now properly equipped to take your true position in life, possessed as you are of an intangible asset of good citizenship acquired by reason of the course of study you have pursued throughout our common school system. Your success in the future will depend more largely than ever before upon your individual efforts. So that in the commencement of life's activities which you now are about to enter upon, may we suggest and urge that you hold fast to the ideals of good citizenship, of integrity of purpose and sincerity of effort, which ideals have been formulated or created While students of our schools. If you will fight for and hold fast to those ideals, your success in life is assured, and the fruits of your efforts will reflect not only great credit to each and every one of you, but will prove a great satisfaction to each citizen and taxpayer of our beautiful and cultured city who have so generously and almost without stint contributed of their means so as to make you good and useful citizens. All that the people have done in your behalf and the contributions they have made to your welfare and future happiness was with a spirit of unselfish- ness and true public service with a consciousness, now that you have completed your course of study in our common schools, they have profited greatly thereby and thie virtue of such public service by thus helping you, is after all its own rewar . With high hopes and fondest expectations for your future success, we are, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF Independence, Kansas. By Thomas Edward Wagstaff, President.

We are pilgrims who must, whether we will or no, move on. However fair the place of our now-a-day rest, however great our reluctance to part with scenes and associates which have grown dear to our hearts, inevitably the hour of parting arrives, and though we look sadly back at the past, we must go on to meet the grim and shadowy future. Someone has said that old buildings are haunted not by the unhappy ghosts of former occupants, but by the thoughts, emotions and struggles of those who have lived, loved and suffered there. If this be true, what a gay and rollicking band of phantoms must find shelter under this old roof, so dear to us. What Happy Dreams and High Hopes go arm and arm down its corridors. And moving among them, we glimpse the gray garments of Grim Despair and Grisly Fear, and catch their mournful whispers as they pass-- That True and False Quiz was terrible! And I am just sure I will flunk in Physics! Then the saddest ghost of all, the Ghost of Regret for neglected and lost opportunities, threads its way through the jostling throng, touching each of us as it passes with a touch of real sadness. But a gallant group of athletic memories comes surging by to the rousing strains of Stand Up and Cheer, and as we watch the snake dance and the old yells fill our ears, we smile and our hearts beat fast, as we re-live the days of toil and triumph for the beloved Orange and Black. Pervading all the multitude of memories like the wholesome fragrance of lavender, is the gentle memory of him who for so many years was the guiding spirit of the old high school. And the name of S. M. Nees still lives in grateful remembrance within its walls. --BABS CARROLL '25 Page 13 ' H -f H- egg.-f --P ,s-R .ve f ee e l-be as-if ijj,Q,sf-if szzi-e.Q,2zf-N M M q . .

A school building that is unexcelled anywhere. But the money expended has, by no means, been wasted. To the Junior high each year come, several hundred students of the seventh and eighth grades. Their knowledge is materially broadened by the fact that instead of having only one teacher as they would in the seventh grade, they have the ad- vantage of five or six. Moreover, this is the age when the boy or girl begins to think of quitting school. With the advantage of a Junior high however, the student becomes so wrapt up in the school activities, that the thought of quitting school never occurs to him. There is another important advantage-one which strengthens the Senior high school activities. From the time they enter the Junior high, the students, through their gym work, under the direction of the coach himself acquire valuable athletic training. This advantage is especially true of basketball. Then they have the advantage of musical training, both instrumental and vocal, under the heads of the High'School music department, and lastly they receive debate training. In short, all the various organizations of the Senior High are materially strengthened by the addition of students who have been trained beforehand in the Junior high. Altogether, we are most fortunate in having such a Junior high school. As .has been truly said, the Junior high is What Independence should adver- tize to the world. -JAMES GILMORE '25 Page 14 e.s' scene--e.

It is altogether fitting that an Orange and Black should be devoted to recording the outstanding fea- tures of the current school year and especially to honoring the Senior Class. This is a Senior annual. V It is always appropriate that the Senior Class be thus honored. Its members have completed three years of senior school work. They have taken advantage of the full course of education provided locally by the public. It is an honor to complete any worthwhile piece of work. It is especially fitting that the Senior Class of 1925 be thus honored. The Senior Class is in a peculiar sense the lead- ing class of the high school. The spirit of the student body, its successes and its failures are largely chargeable to the Senior Class because of its experience and position of honor and leadership. In competitive association with other high schools, I would say that these pages this year show achievement of about the average to be expected from a school of large student body and with such superior facilities for school work. To date, two cups have been added to our trophies out of a possible four. While we did not win the valley cup in basketball, we played in the last round within very few points of the winner showing wonderful development throughout the season. With one exception our football team of the season was new material which happens but seldom in the life of a school. It has been a year of 'wonder- fully fine school spirit. School spirit means very much to us but it is hard to characterize. It consists in enthusiasm for the school and in consistently sup- porting its every effort. It is good school spirit which insures a proper effort to make the feeling attitude of these schools with which we associate, kindly and cordial toward us. I believe the effort has been made this year and with satis- factory results. School spirit is a measure of the courtesy exercised by stu- dents toward each other and by students toward faculty and by faculty toward the students. ' ' l All classes of the school have helped in making this a good school year but the highest class deserves the highest honor. The largest measure of good will and good wishes go with the seniors from those of us who remain. We trust that many of you may go to higher schools for further preparation for life. Some will enter industry or the home at once. We wish you all the greatest success and confidently expect it. This com- munity, your homes, this school, have invested largely in you. We expect of you large returns in Christian citizenship and in service to your day and gener- ation. May the most successful and happy individual life be yours. Cordially J. F. Hughes Principal.

What was the contest? Why haven't you heard? Where have you been? It was the queen contest put on to determine the most popular beauty of I. H. S. and to increase the sale of annuals. A mighty expensive contest, too for some of us. First one Queen would surge ahead and the other keeping the sleek haired shieks digging deep and fasting to find enough S1.50's to keep his favorite in the lead. But all in vain. The contest is over midst gasps of relief on the one hand and bitter tears of disappointment on the other. Was it a success? It is hard to believe otherwise. Members of the Annual staff and class officers were kept busy Writing receipts for payments on an- nuals as first one queen and then the other would appear in the lead. . But as was said before, it is over. u It took several hours of bitter on the part of the members of the staff to start the contest and get it underway. Class meetings were called for they three upper classes and the Junior high school and members of the staff placed in .charge to explain the details of the contest. Ballots were passed around and the students asked to vote on the five queens of their choice. The five highest from each class were then entered in the contest. The contest lasted for one month and the queen with the highest number of votes from each class received a full page portrait in the annual. The queen from the class selling the most annuals received special recognition. 1000 votes were given for full price paid on each annual and 500 for half down. V s Each class was anxious to have its queen receive the special recognition but the Seniors were too much for them. When the final count was taken, it was found that the Seniors sold almost as many books as all other classes com- bined, securing first place for their queen. The winners of the contest were: Seniors Miss Alice Featherngill, Juniors Miss Eunice Goepfert, Sophomores Miss Dorothy Cowles, Junior' Hi Miss Loretta Goodell. As the portraits show there are still good looking girls in Independence Hi to uphold her old reputation. -HAROLD BULLOCK '25 Page 26 . - H . - 11-1-lazy'----ss-W-gb'-f ..

S. were encouraged by the influx of bright, peppy students coming to extend their sway, for they knew that these were the ones to further' carry on the spirit and honor which has long charac- terized this institution. It has been with great pleasure and enthusiasm that the work has been carried on by the class for four years. The group of seniors which as freshman so willingly undertook their duties, is practically the same with only a few of the members gone. The class of '25 has maintained and kept the reputation of being the most active workers in all class activities. The Freshman year was spent getting into the routine of I. H. S., but time was found to produce Jimmie's Aunt Jane. This was the best freshman play ever witnessed by the play-goers of Independence. As Sophomores they had representatives in all the activities of the year. The first of the season found sophomores on the football squad, training for a good team in future years. In the next event basketball, both Soph. girls, and boys upheld our fame for a good showing in all undertakings. The last e- vents of the year, debate and track did not lack the vim and inspiration of this class. In the Junior year they had full sway in Junior Follies, Junior-Senior ban- quet, Music, Debate, Athletics, and were represented in Y. W. The Seniors, as they look back over this four years of work feel duly proud of their record and have striven hard to educate the Juniors to their routine so that our honors may not die.

J unior-Senior Banquet At present the Junior class is busy making preparations ,for the annual Junior-Senior banquet. The time of printing the Orange Sz Black makes it impossible to enter a complete story of the banquet. Last year was the first year to hold the banquet in Mem- orial Hall, and it proved to be, by far the largest and most complete entertainment ever given in honor of Independence high school seniors. However, the Juniors are making very elaborate prepar- ations and are going to entertain this year far beyond the expec- fations of the noble Seniors of I. H. S.

JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Romig Holt Goepfert Austin Junior Class History In the fall of 1922 freshman went through the mystic maze of enrollment for the first time at I. H. S. However, a greater number of the class attended their first year of high school at Lincoln, due to crowded conditions. Though divided they eagerly started forward on the road of knowledge. It was a well beaten path of love and loyality to fellow students. Today we, as a class, have completed three laps of our journey sucessfully and are expectantly looking forward to the fourth and last year in the I. H. S. Although some have become down hearted and overcome by the trials that beset the road, yet there are com- paratively few who are not in step with the music of learning. Realizing that this year was to be the one of all the four in which I. H. S. would turn a watchful eye toward the noble Juniors we first chose the most competent of our numbers to be our leaders. Thus directed we have been doing bigger things for our school than ever before. The class has contributed its share towards all of the fields of activity. In football the gridiron warriors were captained by a member of the Junior class, Ora Austin. Austin was chosen as the captain for the squad in 1926. He is the first football man to receive the honor of being captain of the squad for two consecutive years. In basketball, track, and Wrestling we have been represented by members of the class. Norman Cooley won the heavy weight championship in an inter class match held at I. H. S. Other activities such as debate, dramatics, and honor societies also claim equal mention. In debate Ellis Chaney, veteran of last year's team, is representing the Junior' class and fighting hard for I. H. S. Many social events were held in which all of the Juniors participated. As we look back over our year's work we feel that a great deal has been accomplished, that we have promoted a better feeling of loyalty and a greater sense of duty among our class toward our Alma Mater, I H.

'ie E rs 132:55 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Peck Zellars Bever Meinhardt Sophomore Class History The Sophomore class of nineteen twenty-five, which consists of ninety-four boys, and one hundred one girls, is the most promising class in the Valley. From the photo above, it will at once be perceived that out of one hundred one girls, only one was elected an officer. The girls, however, have brought fame to the class of 1927. We are most proud of Maxine Boner, Dorothy Wingfield, and Edith Zellars, who helped win the Valley championship in debate this year. In the Home Lighting Essay contest ten sophomores entered and won six of the ten prizes offered. Those who won are: Velma Snook, Veda La Force, Betty Luther, Georgia Jones, Vernon Kirchoff, and Ida Miller. Our peppy class meetings were held in the study hall. Mr. R. B. McAfee, as class sponsor, was always interested in the work and pleasures of our class. In January the sophomores had a kid party at which Dorothy Cowles and Robert Sewell won the popularity prizes. Miss Helen Hazel Hardy has had great success with her Sophomore chorus and glee clubs, which she says are her best classes and have accomplished the best work ever done by a sophomore class. These clubs have presented ex- cellent programs. We feel confident that many future musicians will go forth from the great number of sophomores who are now members of the band and orchestra. We are well represented in the Y. W. C. A. and Hi-Y. Don't you think our record proves us THE BEST CLASS IN 1. H. S.? -IDA MILLER '27 Page 60 'i 'T'eR 'J gN- ..., . ssl.

And some fell among thornsg and the thorns sprung up, and choked themg but others fell into good ground and brought forth fruit, some an hundred fold, some sixty fold, some thirty fold. During the past school years, many future citizens of our country paced the halls of the beautiful modern .Junior high school building of lndepenuence. ine institution went forth during this year as the sower. The seeds of truth and wisdom were sown broadcast in the varied soils of human hearts, and the con- dition of the soil in each character has determined what the reaping shall be. Among the throngs who constituted the field for the sowing, some were steady and determined, and were ever prepared to yield to the hand of the sower and to thus receive the seed sown in prepared soil. Some could be seen Who were not so determined, and not so prepared for the seed of the sower. 'l'he one with- out keen interest, who never cared to bring mind and heart into full subjection to the Wish of the sower, the one who by habits of tardiness and half preparation for the work of each day, such one came with the heart like the hard beaten pathway that would not receive the seed in sufficient depth to allow it to germi- nate and produce fruit in the harvest time. They are the hearers who belong to the wayside. And there are to be found, sad as the fact may be, others who brought minds and hearts like the condition of character implied in the stony ground hearer. A shallow layer of soil on top of a large under-lying rock could not retain the moisture long when the sun became warm and the hot winds began to blow. With no depth of soil, the seeds that sprang up must wither at last, and all the sowing must come to naught. These are the students of shallow concern, those who care only to make the required grades even without the mastery of the lessons so as to make the instruction given a vital and permanent part of them- selves. And some seeds fell among the thorns and were choked out at last, and thus came to failure. Other cares than those that should have occupied first place in the mind and heart were allowed to enter the soil, and there becoming deep- rooted would grow most luxuriently and crowd out and kill the life of the good seed. The fault here was not the fault of the soil. It was the fault of the owner of the soil who carelessly allowed other things of the world to crowd into the mind and heart and thus take first place when that place should have been given to the work and purpose of the sower. Alas for the failures of those who, like the thorny ground soil, failed to give the first place to the work of supreme importance in the days of faithful seed-sowing by our beloved institution. But there's a cause for profound gratitude and rejoicing. Not all students of the Junior high school have belonged to those who have not made largest use of Page 66 the instruction given. There are those Who have well merited the name of good ground bearers. Here we find that preparation of the soil of mind and heart that is necessary for the largest fruitfullness when the time of harvest shall CODIS. , 'IT And how the Sower rejoices when the rich yield of thirty, sixty? randxan hundred fold comes as a reward for the faithful sowing during the year. Well may our beloved institution look forward to the same type of fruitfulness through all the years of those into whose hearts it has been sowing. For as are the school days, so will be the days, in no small degree, through all the years that follow. The good soil student will be the good soil citizen, and to such boys and girls, and to such men and women, will the country look for leadership and largest service in all the coming years. -Ruth Simmons. l..L.i-T-- WERE YOU EVER GUILTY? She stood at the, back kitchen door And said. Hiel, you've been swimming some more. No, Ma, I declare The rain Wet my hair. Byt his shirt was on wrong side before. THE GAME WITH CANEY Gaylord Alfrey: Look at them all in the mud with their new suits. How will they ever get them clean? Bill Howe: Huh! What do you suppose our scrub team is for? Can any one in the class tell me the three foods required to keep the body in health? asked Mrs. Axton of her' class in Hygiene. There was a short silence, then Robert Slater answered, Yer breakfast, yer dinner and yer supper. Do you think anything can be done with my voice? asked Frank Louy. It might be of practical service in an emergency, replied Miss Hardy In the chorus? asked Frank. No, in case your motor car horn was out of repair. Do you suppose, said Lester Wills, that if I keep on having so many dates that I will finally turn into a calendar? Robert Ross: How did you get your cold? Carl Bowen: Got Chile on the radio last night. Edward Riley and Orville Nodurfth were discussing about how fast each one could drive his car. ' I drive so fast, remarked Edward, that when I pass the telephone poles they look like a picket fence. Orville laughed. That can't beat mine, he replied, I passed a carrot, cab- bage, and potato patch so fast that when I came to a pool of water it looked like vegetable soup. Page 67 Page 68 junior Chapel Notes b A special combined assembly occured at 2:15 Thursday, October 3. A pep meeting was the occasion. Prospective yell-leaders were given a chance to show their stuff. Deane Smith announced football prospects and games. ill,-. Professor Jessie Williamson, instructor in economics and history, gave a very interesting talk Friday, October 15, at chapel on Dreams He stated, among other things, that dreams were often overcome by cold hard facts, but he also sited instances where great consequences were the result of dreams. Mr. Williamson then applied his subject of dreams to Junior High students and advised them to make every effort to make their dreams for the future come true. Tuesday morning at special chapel for Armistice day Dr. J. L. Gehman, of the Presbyterian church, gave a talk on the late war. He revealed the aston- ishing fact that during the World War thirteen million men lost their lives, twenty million men were wounded, ten million lost their country, five million women were made widows, and nine million children were left orphans. Monday afternoon, November 24, in chapel Louise Overfield, Alma Moon, and Lawrence Holt, delegates to the Kansas High School editors convention at K. U. gave very interesting talks. Louise who attended the news gathering meetings, spoke on that subject, while Lawrence who attended the business managers meetings, talked on the Stiff Room at K. U. Alma gave an interesting explanation of the Grid Graph which entertains the K. U. students when their team is away. Wednesday afternoon, December 2, Junior chapel was honored by an ad- dress from Professor McAfee. Professor McAfee spoke of our penitentiaries and gave the alarming news that out of every hundred thousand people ninety- eight are in the penitentiary at Lansing, he also said that before the war the average age of the criminal was twenty-five years, now it is eighteen. Pro- fessor McAfee's address is considered by many students as the best we have had this year. He is the father of R. B. McAfee, instructor in debating in I. H. S. The pupils of Miss Hardy's fourth hour class took charge of chapel, Dec. 11. The girls and boys sang several numbers. Margaret Harper and Louise Hoxie played piano solos. The pupils are planning to have special musical programs in order to get one plus in music. Thursday afternoon, December 18, reports were given concerning the meeting of the Y. M. C. A. boys at Pittsburg by Clarence Scranton and Walter Chaney. These reports were very interesting. Mr. Hughes then announced that chapel would be held Friday for the purpose of singing some new Christ- mas songs. Page 69 9Z5 Jr.52?-aes-Q 1 -....

Contri- buting to its columns are seventy journalism students and many other pupils, teachers and principals. One hundred students directed by Misses Stewart and Jarrett, type the copy. Sixty student printers, taught by M. F. Reppert, set type and print the paper. Enjoying the largest circulation of any public school publication in Kansas the Student is also supported generously by the professional and business men of Independence, who recognize in it a profitable medium through which to tell the people of the community of their wares and services. First place among student publications in the State was awarded the Student last spring by the University of Kansas for the best solution of circula- tion problems. The remarkable setting forth of Junior High school news is due to the many ambitious students of that department, who, stimulated and directed by the instructors Misses Wahl, Connelly and Taggart, have furnished well written, up-to-date news each week. To the art department, credit is due for the excellent pen drawings publish- ed. Loring Cole and Maxine Judd, Juniors, have contributed additional car- toons and art work of merit. The sponsor of the Student is L. R. Hiatt. He believes that the Student is for the students, and should, therefore, be of them and by them. Page 73 if ,,-. .

HELENS Declamation A loving cup that was added to our already large collection, and one that our school is surely proud of, is that of Declamation. Through the efforts of our faithful instructor of Dramatics, Miss Anna Ingleman, and our contestant, Beatrice St. Helens, I. H. S. carried off first honors. This is the second con- secutive year that I. H. S. has won in the Verdigris Valley Declamation contest. In the preliminary contest, held a few weeks before the final contest, Bea- fvice St. Helens took first place while Tessiana Blakeslee won second honors. Bo'h girls put forth much effort, working at every spare moment in order to do Their very best. Beatrice and Tessiana have given their readings at many of the civic clubs in town. Both readings showed excellent training on the part of our instructor, end have been enjoyed to the utmost by all those who have heard them. The reading which won I. H. S. first place in the V. V. L. was Mither's Swate Little Girleen, arranged from J. E. Dowe. .Page 75 .W , .MQ lf Top Row, left to right-B. Gansel, Beuchat, Featherngill, Brown, Lake, St. Helens, Inge. Second Row-R.

A. lt upholds the highest standards and ideals and is an active living force in our high school life. A Y. W. meeting is held every other week at the regular chapel period, in the Junior High School auditorium. The beauty of the auditorium is in itself an inspiration, this coupled with active interest in planning and preparing the programs, produces some worth while moments spent by the girls. The regular meetings touch all subjects of girls' lives together, and produce a spirit of democracy and friendliness. The Y. W. and Y. M. planned some joint programs. Chief among these were the Christmas and Thanksgiving programs, in which each organ- ization took part. The social gatherings are, of course, part of the fun of the organization. ln the fall the old members entertained the new members with a Big and Little Sister Hike and it was a grand good time for everyone. A mid-winter party was held in the gym and everyone had a fine time playing games and taking part in the social hour. Delegates are sent by this group to various conferences. These give the girls an incentive to do better and more active work. Several members attend- ed the Estes Park Conference last summer and five delegates were sent to Emporia to the spring conference. The high school organization contributes financially to the national organ- ization, and to the Katharine Vance missionary fund. The new cabinet has been choosen and it seems to be a fine representative group of girls who will carry on the good work as it has been done in the past.

Hi-Y Club The Hi- Y Club of '25 has been under the able leadership of Mr. Williamson, the faculty Advisor. Much credit should be given to him and his Advisory coun- cil for the work they have accomplished. , The officers of the Club were: Harold Bullock, President, Orin Hamlin, Vice-presidentg Joe Newell, Secretary, Orrin Wahl, Treasurer. The regular meetings were held every week at chapel time. The time being given to various business men of the city. The talks which these men gave at such meetings were very helpful and were enjoyed by everyone. Among these talks we might mention the ones on Clothing as a Business, Printing as a Business, and the Ministry as a calling. In the conference held at Pittsburg and Winfield the Independence Hi-Y was represented by a large group. Much value was received in these conferen- ces, and this value given to the whole club at the next meeting. In the future, the Hi-Y is making plans to send as many delegates as possible to the conferen- ces. The Club early in the fall staged an oppossum hunt. The Hi-Y carnival given under the guidance of the Hi-Y was a grand success, not only as a school activity but as an example of the spirit of the club along entertainments. Those pictured above have done their part in planning and making the Club of '25 first in the eyes of its members and a success to everyone.

Verdigris Valley Champions Independence has every reason to be proud of her record in debating this year. Although when the season opened she had but one experienced debator, Ellis Chaney, yet she was able to win five out of six debates. The question this year was, Resolved: That the United States should cancel all financial obligations due from the governments of the Allies on account of the World War. In the first round of debates, a dual debate with Caney, Independence af- firmative team consisting of Altman, Boner, and Chaney, brought back the vic- tory from Caney while her negative team composed of Zellars, Bullock,.and Gil- more upheld the honors at home. In the second series of debate, a triangular debate with Neodesha and Chetopa, Independence won unanimously from Neodesha's negative and Che- topa's afiirmative. Dorothy Wingfield substituted for Edith Zellars against Chetopa. By winning in this round of debates I H S became Valley Champion. In the third round of debates for the championship of the Third district, lndependence's negative won from Iola while her affirmative lost to Frontenac. However, Iola was acclaimed district champion by reason of her receiving one more judge's decision from both debates. Our success this year was due to the untiring efforts of the teams and to the co-operation of many interested supporters. Too much credit cannot be given our city librarian Miss Gemmel, for splendid work in securing material. The typewriting classes undei' Miss Stewart contributed many hours of work while Mr. Geo. T. Guernsey aided with material and suggestions. The faculty committee consists of Bess Clapp, J. W. Williamson, L. R. Hiatt, J. N. Tevis and R. B. McAfee, chairman.

Independence Honor Society The Independence branch of the National Honor Society seeks to stimu- late better student citizenship, by giving recognition to scholarship, service, character, and leadership. Scholarship is determined partly by grades. No one can be elected to the Society whose grades do not place him in the upper one-fourth of his class. Service is indicated by the record of the candidate in willingness and a- bility to serve his school and community whenever opportunity is offered. To pass upon a candidate's character is by far the most difficult thing to do, since this part of a student's life is least objective. The supposition is, therefore, as in the American Army, that every student's character is excell- ent unless he shows it to be otherwise. Indications of leadership are: willingness and capacity for bettering the school, city and community through holding of offices in student enterprizesg and constant endeavours to make the name of I. H. S. stand in higher regard in Independence and in Kansas. The committee of the faculty in charge of the local Honor Society consists of: W. L. Friley, Chairman, J. F. Hughes, E. J. Castillo, L. R. Hiatt, and Misses Bess Clapp and Gladys Beuchat. Members from the class of 1924, the first to be elected are: Morna Zell Wagstaff, Niles Smith, Donna Krueger, John Schrantz, John Antener, Marion Brown, Helen Dittmer, Josephine Blades, Wayne Harris, Katherine Loftus, Etha Duncan, Beatrice DeVor'e, Bernice Hughes, Grace Hamlin. The following seniors were elected from the 1925 class: Josephine Holdren, George Allred, James Gilmore, Harold Bullock, Orrin Wahl, Carrol Neighbors, Irma Bloomer, Madge Altman, Ruth Budke, Vida Dunbar, Jane Cash, Ruth Wylie, Everett Smith, Beatrice St.Helens, Velma Bowler. From the class of 1926, the following students were selected this spring: Mary Craig, Melvin Cammack, Bernice Shile, Dorothy Brewster, Ruth Johnson, Dorothy Masters, Alice Wycoff. , Each member of the local Honor Society is presented with a gold pin by I. H. S. as a visible token of the high esteem in which the institution holds these boys and girls. While students consider election to the Society a great honor, they seem to look upon it as a challenge to greater efforts in scholarship, service, character, and leadership.

So, we seniors of I. H. S. have our Dee Dee Club, under the supervision of Miss Anna Ingleman. The club of '25 elected for president, Eldridge Roachg vice president, Betty Sicklesg secretary, Kathryn Cowlesg and treasurer, Clair Hofer. Our purpose is to promote the arts of public speaking, reading and dramatics. Our first entertainment, given November 26, was three short plays: The Mysterious Will, Squaring It with the Boss, also given several other places, and The Royal Spark. On December 17 many people enjoyed the Christmas program which consisted of two plays: Her Christmas Hat, and The Weasel. Too Much Salt, our feature short play, was given in chapel and for six outside entertainments. This year we tried for the first time a burlo-drama, Do Your Worst. Considering the laughter and the applause received from the aud- ience, it was a complete success. It has always been the custom of the Dee Dee club to give at least one long play, so on February 26 Seventeen, a four act comedy taken from the novel by Booth Tarkington. was presented to a packed house. Some of our other plays were: Henry, Where Are You, The Burglar, Elizabeth's Young Man and Just Out of College. Of course, the members of this body do not devote all of their time to hard work. At camp Numpawallah the club and their guests enjoyed two picnics, and the Dee Dee alumni, during the Christmas holidays, gave us a banquet at the Booth Hotel. We have enjoyed and profited very much from the Dee Dee club and hope we have given enjoyment to others. We wish all the luck in the world to the Dee Dee clubs that will follow.

Ye Editors This volume of the Orange and Black is the product of several months of labor by the members of the Annual Staff. Last November, the Senior class met and selected ten or twelve of its members to edit the Annual. Whether they chose wisely or not is left for you to decide. The blame or the credit for this little book falls on the several members of the Staff. At any rate we have done our best and sincerely believe that we have succeeded in editing a volume that is a credit to the school. Each year the annual staff tries to put out an annual that is just a little better than the previous one. We believe that this is the best Orange and Black in the history of I. H. S. The annual staff after all is just a mirror-the reflection of school life. If this annual is a good one it is not so much because it is a good mirror but because there is something worthwhile in the school to be reflected-the best bunch of Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores that ever attended I. H. S. From the time the Staff was chosen last fall, until the day it came out, little was heard by the Student body of the annual, except for the annual sale campaign and the herding of the Seniors down for their pictures. But all this time the several members of the Staff were working to edit this volume. which we hope you will be proud of and which will be a truly representative book of the best school in the world--old I.

Few libraries in a city of this size have so well balanced a selection of books. Its facilities are always in demand and the aid of the library staff is always at the service of the stu- dents. Co-operating with the teachers, full and complete lists for supplemental reading and reference work are prepared by the librarian for the students use. A special card index has been made for each reading list, giving a description or synopsis of each book on the list. This index is found in a separate cabinet in the general reading room near the shelves where the collections for school read- ing have been placed. The development of the interest in debate can be credited in a large degree to the abundant material provided and to the expert direction given by the Lib- rarian, Miss Anna Gemmel, who for the past fourteen years has been the con- stant advisor for the debaters. Miss Gemmel, who has had experience as a teacher and is familiar with the 'service a library can render in keeping touch with the city's requirements, neglects no opportunity to make this service commensurate with the schools' neccessities.

In any school, the class room work, is only half of the school life. Half the value of high school education is gained through the work of the various organizations of the school. The only sad part about it is that it is only a few students who take part in these activities. These few are in all organizations the rest of the student body in none. It is hoped that a point system will be worked out in our school so that more students will take part in these activities. A brief review of the wonderful work of our organizations wnouldabe especially appropriate at this time. ' Our football team, although losing the majority of itsggames, brought out clearly a quality of the I. H. S. Student. It showed that he cci'trQd,ffgke defeat as well as victory and that every I. H. S. team would be supportddjiiwlrcfhier winning or losing. ill ie'4i -V We had a real basket ball team this year. Starting,-qutyyvith a green team, yet by careful coaching and hard work, the team so develoiiefgthat, although we did not win the valley cup, we did win the District tournament it Neo 1 4 . Ve - ,with its cup, and the following week, in the Sectional tournament, the bo i the right to go to Lawrence for the state finals, where they llacQiqitted.,them-sqiyes most creditably. Mei? - ,,. ' Li In Debate this year, we again walked off with Valley h gh los- ing out in the District debates to Iola. Likewise in Declamation,lfdr'fthe second consecutive year, the Valley Declamation cup, was brought hometo the trophy case. The declaimer this year was Beatrice St. Helens. One of-the organizations of the school that is seldom given its due credit is the band. Always at every football game, whether in town or away, at basket- ball games and debates, the band is an ever ready source of pep. To much credit cannot be given the band or its director, Mr. Goepfert. This year a plan was worked out as to the Valley Music meet. The old contest was changed to a festival. I. H. S. has certainly room to be proud of every one of its musical contestants this year-the symphony orchestra, the Quartets, the chorus, Betty Sickels, the piano soloist, and Eld- ridge Roach, the boy soloist. We feel sure, that, had the contest been continued through this year, considering the excellent showing made by these People, that the Music cup, would now rest in our trophy case. A very different type of organization is the Hi-Y and Y. W. These orgafl- izations, with the help of excellent faculty advice, did much to develop that third side of school life, the spiritual. Besides these activities, the other organizations of the school, the Honor Society, the Junior Music Club, the Dee Dee Club, class organizations, Annual Staff, Student Staff, and the home room groups, must each be mentioned and given its share of praise. Altogether, we have enjoyed a very successful year. Next year, I. H. S. en- ters a new and larger league. To win out each student must do more than he or she has done in tl1e past. Can we do it? The answer is: Just watch us. Page 90 4 3 ' irs' in M L' M-1.6 l ...A 7 Y ,w,. .

Football History The first day of school saw a large number of players, each eager to place their name on the Suit Up List. The Captain was on the ground ready to whip the candidates into shape. The Coach worked us hard COh that Dummyl and placed the 1925 team OH the gridiron for the first time for most of us, to display the old fight and spirit of the game. We lost our first game to Nowata. The next Friday we played at Columbus, followed a week later by our first Verdigris Valley game with Neodesha. The game ended 19 to 6 in their favor. Our Neewollah game was played with Altamont and was attended by the biggest bunch of rooters of any game played during the season. The team hit their stride and piled up a score of 20 to 7. One week after the Neewollah game came the Mud-Wallow. Caney came as did also the rain and with the temperature hovering around zero we shivered the game through. That was our Waterloo losing the game 19 to zero The team certainly appreciated the Spirit of I. H. S. for even though it was a disagreeable day to play it was even worse to sit and watch: it is such support that we appreciate. On November 19th, Girard came to play us and was defeated 56 to 6. Turkey day the team and I. H. S. supporters journeyed to Coffeyville to play the annual football game. The Java town players were in their prime and must have thrown a scare into our ranks for all our efforts to make gains and to put the ball over their goal were futile and we returned home empty handed.

Several Lettergirls were on the ground for the first night practice. Around these girls Miss Spradling built the 1925 team. The girls showed great initiative and co-operation and on these two factors lay the successful season of 1925. The girls played a very high class of games and from the first tip-off until the final whistle the games they played were fast and interesting. Until the fatal night of January 30th, when the Altamont girls team de- feated the Independence girls team 19 to 15 the Independence girls had proved themselves unconquerable. The second round of games started, in which I. H. S. girls showed themselves superior to their opponents by defeating Os- wego, Cherryvale, and Altamont. It might be interesting to know that Independence forwards threw 39 field goals in five games to their opponents 20. Basketball is the only sport for girls that the school sponsors. It not only encourages physical fitness among the girls but gives them a contact with other girls outside of their own school, and not merely physical exercise but a game in which endurance, co-operation and honor enter. The second team which is to be the team in following years to represent I. H. S. in Girls Basketball had several victories. The members of this team should be given a large amount of credit for the help and competition which they gave the first string girls. Independence girls are looking forward to the time when another girl's league is started. Page 100 L l iff' Zollars, Allred,Travis, Switzer, Burnworth, Clubine, James, Barnett Capt, Smith The 1925 Basketball Season Neodesha high school was the first team met on the Verdigris Valley schedule. We lost by a close score of 24-21. Chanute was the next game ann we lost 35 to 24. It was the time for a win so the boys ran away from Oswego 18 to 14. Tyro was a practice game in order to get ready for Fredonia. The first Fredonia game was one of the tightest games of the season, I. H. S. being beaten by a score of 23 to 18. Cherryvale fell our next victim, at a score of 24 to 17. Altamont was taken by surprise and was defeated 23 to 10. Iola with their strong team came to hit the boys when they were off their stride and defeated us by a score of 25 to 12. Caney surprised us again and defeated us 21 to 12. The Coffeyville game fell to us after a hard fought battle 22 to 18. Chanute was an old enemy having beaten us once but was not able to do it a- gain. They lost the game 31 to 27. In this manner we were placed in the first division and played Neodesha. This game had a Very unsatisfactory ending, Neodesha running away with a score of 25 to 16. After the Verdigris Valley season was over the team entered the District Tournament at Neodesha. The first game being with Yates Center. Yates Center lost by a score of 24 to 15. Iola came next and was defeated by a score of 30 to 14. Chanute was then defeated 21 to 8 giving us the District champion- ship. In the Inter District Tournament at Neodesha we won from Pittsburg 20- 21, and from Winfield 26 to 19, losing to Parsons 21 to 22. I. H. S. was so proud of the record that she sent the team to the state meet at Lawrence. We did not show up In the state meet so well as we might have because two of the star members of the team were on the sick list. Page 101 is 4, ' H' 'N-Q...

The Verdigris Valley Track Meet Starting with a group of boys, several of whom had little or no experience in athletics, Coach Smith developed a track team which was distinctly a credit to our school. Although I. H. S. was only able to capture fifth place in the annual Valley meet at Coffeyville. we feel our track season was by no means a failure. ln the Valley meet Independence took one first place, two seconds, one third, and one fourth. Evan Travis, who forsook the bright lights of Tyro to fight with I. H. S., won first in the javelin contest, throwing it a distance of one hundred fifty-two feet and nine inches. Howard Burns took second place in the mile run, Bambick of Neodesha taking first and establishing a new record of 4.48 sec. Orrin Wahl represented Independence in the broad jump, winnin'-I second place, and not satisfied with this, went forth and won third in the javelin event. Not to be entirely outdone by his team mates, Orrin Hamlin heaved the shot into fourth place, and Independence departed home minus the cup Cwhich was in possession of Fredoniab, but with a determination to go back next spring and take the scalps of the entire Valley, as in the good old days.

Do I look so stupid as to take this place for a bootlegger's joint? Two thugs held up Mr. Moore. After a stiff fight during which the professor nearly got the better of them they succeeded in getting him down. A search revealed a lone nickel. By Gosh, said one footpad, If he had been carrying a quarter he'd have killed us both! That fellow looks downcast. Yes, they are going to shoot him at sunrise. A deserter'? No, a movie actor.

Y. - - I . 2 The Annuals Mission The records of an institution of learning, which are imperishable, are written in its traditions. These records are never officially preserved. So it follows that the students keep a record of persons, organizations, athletics, and various events for the future. A spiritual record one might sayg for does it not revive the old spirit of our Alma Mater, and bring back to each one of us those cherished high school days. Many distant years from now, when official records have dimmed and faded from our memories, these spiritual records alone will endure, and We will find ourselves carried back o'er the fleeting years to live over and over again those happy days of youth. The 1925 Orange and Black, the book you hold in your hand, is such a record. Across the years it will awaken rich memories, and inspire the' lives of men and women whose golden student days it now seeks only in part to preserve. -M. F. REPPERT, Advisor. This Volume a School Project The 1925 Orange and Black has been edited and printed entirely by a staff composed of several seniors sponsored by the following faculty committee: M. F. Reppert, Advisor, John Tevis, Misses Mary Ed Mecoy, Jessie P. Stewart, Gladys Beuchat, and Katherin DeLury. Stand by, do not be too severe with your criticism, remember these facts. This annual was printed and bound, including the laying out and planning the book, editing the copy, and the making of the covers by the department of printing of I. H. S. The drawings and art work for the entire book, including color plate de- signs, and cover design are all the efforts of the art department. This book the first to be truly published by our school has cost much in time and money. Our one wish is that we have pleased everyone. If this Wish be true then the staff has accomplished its purpose. Page 1 1 6 f 1 ' l't':lf'ziied f Specialize in Business You seniors who are passing out of I. H. S. in a few days have now secured agood general education, but many of you are not fitted to hold any position above the grade of manual labor, because you have not had special training.

NATURALLY On the first day of the semester of school the teacher came down the aisle taking names. The first little boy said his name was Si. No, the teacher corrected, you must say Silas. The next boy said his name was Tom. No, said the teacher impressively, it's Thomas. And now, she inquired of the last boy in the row, what is your name? Jackass, responded the bright lad. A stranger addressed the farm boy across the fence. Young man, your corn looks kind 'o yellow. Yes, that's the kind we planted. Don't look as if you would get more than half a crop. We don't expect to. The landlord gets the other half. ll N there . No replied the boy, only the fence. r Paire 1 28 ls.. .

So he started a savings account and put in- to it the small sums that most peo- ple spent thoughtlessly. N o o n e could call him 'iclose: he always had money for an important pleas- ureg he always had good clothes: he took a good vacation trip every year. He knew the secret of saving, which made his dreams come true. A YOUNG COUPLE A young couple wanted to buy a home. 'They put S15 a month in a savings account. In a very few years they had enough to buy a lot and start construction. Because they had proved their ability to save, their bank gladly loaned themenough more money to pay for the complete home. Their dream house came true, because they spent not for small things, but saved for big ones. PROUD YOUNG PARENTS Two proud young parents decided their baby boy should have the fin- est education money could get for him. They started a savings account and deposited 312 every time he was a month older. This amount, with interest, was enough to send him to the fine old university of his choice. when he was eighteen years old, and their dream of twenty was true be- fore forty. AN AMBITIOUS CLERK An ambitious clerk who did not want to work all of his life for other people, started a savings a cc o u n t with which to go into business. Soon his opportunity came: he had saved enough money to secure an option on a promising business: he had the confidence of the bank, and could borrow enough to finance the whole proposition. His day dream has made him wealthy--because he began by saving. What is YOUR day dream? What do you hope for in the future? Start a savings account today, be ready' when an opportunity comes to turn your wishes into horses --- and make your hopes come true.

Surely, this applies equally to the conduct of business---a re- tail store! The Golden Rule in practice is a straight road that all can travel with mutual happiness, satisfaction and profit.
