O OBTAIN a high quality petro- leum product it is necessary that crude oil be put through an elabo- rate system of refining. To obtain adesir- able Citizen, it, too, is necessary that the individual be put through an elaborate system of refining by processes of edu- cation. The public school system is the refining agent, which his producing young citizens having power to get a quick start, climb higher hills, and contrib- ute more to their communities. As Inde- pendence is noted in its business life as an oil center, the theme for the 1930 Orange and Black has been taken from that industry. May you become better acquainted with Independence high school as a refinery as you turn these pages.

Here Memories Linger Old Nees Hall, with its beautiful campus, shady trees, and medieval turrets---its every bit of stone and mortar pregnant with mem- ories---memories of life, of laughter, of achieve- ment, and perhaps, of tears. Nees Hall seems to have developed in its many years of exist- ence a sort of warmth and understanding----a beauty not so much of architecture, but of tra- dition. No student can deny its appeal or the place it holds in his heart. - 5 1 1 V i 7 I I 4, 4 l iw, r :, rug,-LY, - A : f Flowers of Education The high school building, where the crude is poured in from the elementary schools, and the first refining processes take place. One can- not step into its halls without becoming con- scious of the exhilirating, youthful, ambitious atmosphere which perfvades. ' Although the high school building is com- paratively new, it is rapidly developing a tradi- tion. How often cheers have echoed throghout the building when an exciting basketball game was in session in the gymnasium! , 1 1i ZX Q A r 0 1 UU '15 A - 1 iwmu Nm -3: f MPA .E-TIE-1 E0 3 .Kim e mma -,.. of ,.,.., Are Unfolding Wztliin H ofw often too has laughter resounded at plays or assemblies in the auditorium' The whole building reeks of industry and productivity---the whiz of the 'woodwork ma- chines---the click of the printing presses---the clanging of the machine shop---the rattle of the cafeteria trays---the stacatto of the typewriters in the office and journalism department-u all cooperating with one goal in view--achievement. s...,v - ,. .1-un . The Entrance We Lofue LM, 'af The east entrance of the high school build- ing---the most widely used and best liked en- trance. Unless the weather is too violent, there is always a crowd around this doorway. F lanked on both sides by expanses of 'verdant lawn and flower beds, it is no wonder that this entrance is a favorite gathering place, especially for jun- ior high school students whose debut into the scholastic and social life of the school was prob- ably made through these very doors.

A bystander who enjoys character study certainly could appreciate the between-class trek. Here they come---some slowly, perhaps despondently --,others briskly, filled with ambition---some abounding in energy, run---some dart to a near by store---by nofw the crowd is thinned to a few stragglers, the last bell clangs, a handful makes a final rnad dash to keep from paying the tar- diness penalty.

It lends to the building a certain grandeur, a certain consci- ousness of the beauty of the building which a view of the exterior alone does not. And, stand- ing at the top ofthe staircase in a sheltered arch, is a large picture of the Great Emancipator, the school's favorite immortal, his kindly face beam- ing a sort of sympathetic, understanding smile of approval upon the panorama constantly pre- sented before him.

Columbia University To The Senior Class of 1930: I have just finished reading the high school senior class roll.for 1930. I congratulate the young men and young women for their achievement of this essential part of their education. A well-rounded education is one of the biggest assets a young man or young woman can possess. Life situations have changed materially from the days of our forefathers, and it requires adequate prepara- tion to meet the new demands. Whether you are engaged in furtlier preparation, in a business or professional career, or in home building, this initial high school training furnishes a substantial foundation for continued success. Whatever station of life you oc- cupy, be assured our good wishes accompany you. Sincerely, J. H. Clement, Supt. I 1930 A4-L . E. R. STEVENS, Principal B. S. Emporia K. S. T. C. M. S. University of Kansas ' To The Graduates: I am pleased that, in this formal manner, I have the opportunity to offer you congratulations. You have profited by the refining process through which you have been put during the years of your attendance at high school. The power you have developed will depend upon the thoroughness of your refinement. The world to- day knows power and seeks for it. Your place will be made by your own power. Each of you will differ in the degree of purity, depending upon the original material and upon the manner in which you have per- mitted the process to affect you. Life is a continuing process of refinement. May you each profit to your maximum capacity by life's refining processes. Sincerely, E. R. Stevens, Principal .

ORANGE AND BLACK Senior Class istory As the tributaries of a river, after pursuing their individual courses for a time, finally join to form one river, which, in turn, winds slowly to the sea, so did the various elementary schools contribute their share to the river wh.ch began to flow through I. H. S. in September of 1926. Early we decided to establish our course so firmly that no barrier could change it. While still in the ninth grade we were well represented in the scholar- ship contest, and one of our number, Leona Mallonee, placed first in English. lt was then, too, that our Junior High Queen, Beth Keller, was a close runner-up in the Queen Contest for the annual. Even at that time Erdon Avery was trying his hand at football with success. Striving to uphold our aspirations, we set out the second year with un- daunted spiritg and since then we have become famed throughout the country in such activities as music, scholarship, athletics, debate. Girl Reserve, and Hi-Y. ln our various football tangles we looked to Erdon Avery and Capt. Jelly Simpson to come smilin' thru, while Capt. Barton Blakeslee and- Royce Nickey fought bravely to keep our ship sailing in basketball. Our course was amply supported by three valiant orators, Ida McGarvey, Ida Rae Spradling, and Jimmie Callahan. Always we were proud of Jesse Dalton, who not a few times brought us victory in tennis. In looking over our achievements for the past four years, We cannot but feel justly proud, yet we do not give ourselves all the credit for them. It was the untiring efforts and devoted cooperation of the faculty and especially of our sponsors, Miss Lake and Miss Jarrett, who directeduthe channels of our efforts and made our achievements possible. The beautiful building, which thoughtful citizens of Independence have provided for us to continue our studies in. was also a source of inspiration to push ahead. Although as usual a few have drop- ped by the wayside, there still remain one hundred twenty-eight of us to receive the reward of graduation for which we have been striving. But all this will have been in vain unless, when this Senior class of 1930 empties. as a river, into the great Sea of Life, we, the members, leave behind in the form of sediments our established standards and ideals. 1950 Page Z3 l l 1 li 'vii Qi--- Page 24 THB ORANGE AND BLACK ,... i-.-.T e l3AR.TON BLAKESLEE-One of the most important reasons why girls go to school, although supposedly out of circulation.

A. this year. How that girl loves to talk! JAMES CALLAHAN-A hold young man from the wilds of Oklahoma,-Pawhuska. A young actor in the Junior Revels last year. Vice-president of the senior class. Member of the Dee Dee club. One of the reasons we are all so proud of our debate record this year. Fiery Irishman in love, hate, football, and debate. ' VIRGIL UTZ-Meet the champion bubble-num chewer of the season. One of the biggest sensations of the year when Virgil astonished us all by dislocating his jaw while chewing bubble-gum. He also holds the record of attending the movies ten hours in one week. HAROLD PECK-Someone has suggested that we call this unassuming young man Peck's Bad Boy -Why, we naturally rlon't. know. Harold is a. creative genius, but it pains us to say he docs not carry this outstanding tx-nit of his to the classroom. J. NELSON RUPARD-You can always linrl Nelson out of class hours conversimr with Skipper about the Sea Scouts. Nelson was on the Sea Scout swimming team last yezn' and again this year. A serious-minded young man who will surely make a name for himself some day. BILL BERGMAN-A great, little outdoor man. Bill is at his best in hunting garb with a weapon balanced on his shoulder. He is also quite at ease on the business end of a steering wheel. We have noticed his out-of-town interests, too. 1950 A ,.4Li...:. nn.. i rl A THE. ORANGE AND BLACK ORWIN MOON-A promising young shoe salesman, who can already manage to get a size four shoe on a flapper with n size six foot. Besides this accomplishment. he is also a charter member of Post No. 1 of Erhart's Lodge, a worthy organization ad- vocating thc production of bigger and better hot dogs. WILMA NANCE--Her impersonation of a shy little violet in the Junior Revels and old- fashioned curls belie her modern ways. Mem- ber of hand and orchestra., in which she toots the clarinet and saws the violin, re- spectively. Former Girl Reserve member and a. healthy specimen of the G. A. A. JOSEPHINE COOPER-A loyal member of the Girl Reserves for four years. She has difficulty in iinding time for studies because of her good nature and ever-present longing for conversation. Like many other students. she contributes her pennies regularly to Mr. Wrigley for the sake of giving her jaws their daily exercise. ALFRED SIMPSON-Otherwise known as Jelly. The popular captain ol? our famous all-victorious football team, and also track captain. I club member und boys' glee and mixed chorus songbird. One of the chefs and sailors in Barba.rossn of Barbary. If prac- tice makes perfect, he should have made a marvelous debate: as a result of his many arguments with Rosemary. FREDERIC WILHELM-A bright and shining light of Dee Dee, I club. boys' glee, and mixed chorus. Former class officer and the cruel step-father of Two Bleeding Hearts, the Junior Revels' Pollutizer prize melodrama. Barbarossa of Barbary himself. His frequent demonstrations of poetic and dramatic ability make him thc despair ol' his teachers, to the delight and entertainment of his fellow students. BILL CAMPBELL-Just how such Z1 sandy- hzxired, Scottish name as Campbell ever hap- pened to be attached to such a dark and hand- some youmz man is ia deep mystery. His musical talents muke him one of the joys of Mr. Goepfert's life, and we predict that he will someday be a second Paul Whiteman. DONALD GRAHAM-Ono ol Miss Hurdy's little freshman songsters si long time ago. Now one of Mudumoiselle W2ll'd0li'S parkin- vous pupils and former French club member. .lust everywhere he travels in his little Ford roadster would be difficult to discover, but it is an accepted fact that this certain Ford is quite often seen in nearby villages. ERDON AVERYAAThe little boy who showed the Southeast Kansas league schools how to make touchdowns. His athletic abilities also include truck and basketball: the latter. in which he plays with all the accustomed yzentleness of a March wind. Soul-stirring tenor in boys' glee, mixed chorus. boys' quar- tet, and mixed quartet. Another of the ten reasons why girls go to school. 1950 Page 2 7 Page 28 THE ORANGE AND BLACK JAMES NICE-Yes, he certainly lives up to his name: we could not find a nicer boy in school. James is a very studious person, with a determined and ambitious look. In school he is brilliant and happy, and his smile helps to cheer many. GENEVIEVE KERBY-Recently of Lawrence, Genevieve has worked hard here in G. A. A. and Girl Reserve. In art she worked hard and gained quite a name in the Daubers club. Now she is a familiar figure, alongside a boy who drives 51 red car. IVY .MARIE ATKINSON-Although she has not entered into the activities 0 the school, she is u. willing worker and does her work with a smile. She is always ready to do het part. Truly a friend to everyone. J. WILEY JONES-If he keeps on growing, Wiley may some day make a good-sized boy. As it is, we rather wonder how the climate is up in those altitudes. Wiley is much too interested in trying to attain a record in growth to think about anything else VIOLET MOON-Violet played up to her name in last year's Junior Revels by dancing in The Shy Little Violets chorus. She is well known for her beautiful golden hair. A poetic soul might claim it had red lixzhts. in which case we would bet on Violet, in competing with Clara Bow. VIRGIE JACKSON-In organizations Virgie features in G. A. A. and Girl Reserves. She has the ability to study and make good grades that causes the envy of all who know her. In fact, she has caused the school to he quite proud of her in the contests at Pittsburg and Emporia. BESSIE MORRIS-A violinist in the or- chestra for four years. A member of the mixed chorus and glee club. She has appeared on the stage in the spring festival. Junior Revels, and Mirandy's Minstrels. An active member of the G. A. A. and Girl Reserves. Newspaper men with ability at debate interest Bessie. She is a tall, slender girl with gorgeous clothes and-. LORENA BARR-If all of us were as friendly and happy as Lorena, what a gay old world it woud be! Did anyone ever encounter her when she didn't wear a congenial smile? She has been here only two years, but is well known. She has been a member of the Girl Reserves both years. 1950 --v-l..- THE. ORANGE AND BLACK RAYSOL HUFFMAN-One of Miss Dikeman's Dnubers. Someday, when he is a great artist, we will all be proud to say we once knew him when his flaming hair caused as much com- ment as his artistic and musical abilities. As a member of the annual stall' he is responsible for the fine art work of the Orange and Black. LEONA MALLONEE-State scholarship team in English. Girl Reserve treasurer. An A-1, student. She has an inherent gift for seeing clearly what is supposed to be done and doing it. Although exceptionally studious, she linds plenty of time for outside activities and Neal. MARGUERITE DUBBELS-Acquired a habit of having the strangest feeling in The Travelers and has been having them ever since about Gene and Chet and various others. Orchestra, Girl Reserves, G. A. A.. and Dee Dee club member. V. V. music contest in '29, Junior Revels solo dancer and Spring Festival performer. And then she will talk- yc gods, how she will talk! CHARLES OVERTON-Hi-Y member. We sometimes wonder how he does it. Twins! Imagine his embarrassment if, after a. long evening, he found he had been conliding in the wrong one. Charles is a one-woman man. though, in spite of his desire for one with an understudy. . OPAL GIBSONW-Girl Reserves member. Jun- ior Revels and Spring Festival chorine. Opal and her snappy roadster are as well known in Independence as the Prairie building or the school. Life is one hig round of fun When you have cute curs to run, Pretty clothes and lots to spend: Thus the story of Opal ends. JOHN WAINSCOTT-Another struggling young typist Dl'GlJHl'll'lg' for the c1'ool world of business. He says girls are not a part of his important life and that they do not bother him, but his blue eyes and shiekish black hair cause us to doubt this assertion. WILLIAM PENDLETON-Spanish club and I club member. Handsome track hero. Divides his time between women, more women, and Jane. Distinguished for his aristocratic languor and drawl. The ideal he for the he and she jokes. It may be said of himh- My only books are womun's looks, And folly's all thcy've taught me. HELEN KNOTHE--G. A. A. swimminir shark. G. R. president. Scholarship contest in geom- etry lShe evidently knows her curves and anglesl. Dee Dee club member-one of The Travelers. A big burly football player of the 1929 Sprinf: Festival. Official snap- shooter of the annual staff. Independent and likeable, with ability and pep enough for two or three her size. 1930 Page 29 Page 30 'THB ORANGE AND BLACK JOHN SEARLE-One of our jazzy trombone players in the orchestra and band. He at- tended high school in California in 1928. John decided he liked work better than school: consequently he is a hard-working employee of the Prairie. All the girls are wild over me. IRIS CLINE-A member of the Girl Reserves and G. A. A. In several choruses in the Junior Revels last year. A sporty young college student in Rooms to Let. A member of the Dee Dee club. She certainly attracts the attention of the athletes. DU AYNE HOBBS-She attended her first two years of high school at North Denver high school. A member of the Girl Reserves. She was n charming gypsy maiden in a play given by the Spanish classes this year. She does her work with a smile. KENNETH SNELL-A proud possessor of the coveted 1 g therefore a member of the I club. A good football player and track man. A member of the Hi-Y. Why is it Kenneth blushes whenever anyone mentions Chanute? EVELYN HOEFLE-A former student of South Denver high school. A member of the Girl Reserves and Spanish club. A very shy young girl with sunny hair and a sunny disposition. One of the reasons why men prefer blondes. WILMA GREEN4A member of the Girl Re- serves and G. A. A. A song-bird in the mixed chorus and glee club. She adds a large amount of pep to the Pep club. A chorus girl in the Junior Revels and Spring festival. She has a clever head on her shoulders. IDA McGARVEY-President of the Dee Dee club. A member of the G. A. A. and Girl Reserves. How that girl can debate! One of the east of Graustark. One of Ida's most admirable characteristics is that she never talks about herself. ELLA MAE WINGARD-A member of the Girl Reserves. A shark when it comes to typewriting. She will surely make A compe- tent stenographer. She is always ready for a good time, but she is willing to do her share of work, too. 1950 THB ORANGE AND BLACK JOHN TROUTMAN- I club member. How he ever found time to play football and solicit ads for The Student is certainly a mystery: for although he rarely misbehaves, he can always be found loafing around in the office with n wistful expression on his countenance. It is clearly a case for Sherlock Holmes or Philo Vance. GLADYS RENNER-Brown-eyed Girl Reserve. G. A. A., Dee Dee. and French cluh member. One of the skaters who skated bravely through the terrible snow storm in Junior Revels. Journalism delegate to K. U. conference. where she learned all about publishing news- papers and proceeded to apply her knowledge to The Student. It is rumored that her favorite sport is roller-skating. DOROTHY KNOCK-Pep Club and Dee Dee member. Musical abilities displayed in girls' glee, mixed chorus, and Barbarossa of Bar- bary. Portrayed Meg in Little Women and proved her ability to keep a cool head in The Wasp's Nest. Honor Society mem- bership shows that she is a strong contra- diction to the nge-worn expression beautiful, but dumb, and it's no wonder that boys :zo to school. ROYCE NICKEY-A used-to-be Hi-Y and band member and a big, burly, blond lineman of the I. H. S. football team. Takes a keen delight in basketball in knocking an opposing' player down and then apologetically aiding him to rise. An I club member whose smile is perpetual even through such obstacles as second-year Latin and typewriting. ALICE LINDBERG-She masters the bass viol in orchestra. A little rainbow in Junior Revels. Girl Reserve and G. A. A. member and secretary of the very important senior class. Associate editor of the best Orange and Black in history. She has a strong preference for red-haired persons of consid- crable prestige and ability as pianists. AUGUST ETZOLD-One of those very rare people-a boy who isn't always talking about himself. His almost red hair gives no indica- tion of his quiet nature. He is a real student who studies to gain knowledge rather than grades, and incidentally acquires both, so that to find his name on the honor roll is a common occurrence. MAX CARTER-A most unusual senior-one who seems to have no trouble with American history. A promising young photographer. He proves classmates and pens needy. BERNICE maiden of to be a great benefactor to his by always carrying several pencils which he distributes among the KIRBY-A musically inclined orchestra, girls' glee, and mixed chorus. G. A. A. and Girl Reserve member and one of for three I'm a. D friends by fying drea 1930 the prettiest of Pep club members years. Bunny's theme song is rcamer, and she entertains her reciting her exciting and terri- ms. Page 31 Page 32 in-ir. URANGE AND BLACK CARYL KRONE-eSent forth from the far North idon't get excited,,he's not an Eskimo, but hails from Sycamorej to the halls of old I. H. S. to absorb a learning of the ways of the world and why angles angle and curves curve and verbs are sometimes not verbs. MARTHA MASON-Musically inclined Pep club member. Probably one of the main reasons why I. H. S. won the Vcrdigris Valley music contest in '28. Former G. A. A. and G. R. member. Her idea of seeing the world seems to be to jump in her Buick and go to Cherryvale or :mother nearby metropolis. GLADYS STEPHENS--'Just another senior exposed to the ravages of that well-known mulady commonly called American history. Gave up the G. A. A. and Girl Reserves for the sake of nrt to lend her violin to the soul-stirring harmony of our majestic senior high orchestra. SIDNEY KRAMER---The original copy of the well-known popular song He's Tall. and Dark, and Handsome. In ,his sun-tanning model ol' a well-known automobile make, he is all that, could be desired for a modern masculine version of Clara Bow or Alice White. ' EVA CORN-Speaking of popular songs, we present for your approval the original Black Eyed Susan. Contrary to the popular opinion of a black-eyed Susan. she is quiet and conscientious, a member of the Girl Reserves and a G. A. A. member of by-gone days. BILL INGE-Meet lndependenecfs Lon Chaney! The backbone of the dramatic de- partment. Scrupulous secretary of the Dee Dee club. Had his debut in The Three Grimes and played also in Graustark. Pot Boilers, The Wasp's Nest. and Little Women. One of the smiling faces in the boys' glee club and mixed chorus. Also uses hisdfamous voice to good advantage as cheer- ea er. WILLIAM LESSMAN-We have here another one of that rare type of persons-an athlete who frequently takes a notion to study! Besides being one of the football team. he varied his career by also being a member of a group not often connected with athletes- ihe scholarship team. ALICE PAGE-We suspect that the composer of that old favorite song Peggy 0'Neil could have had no one but Alice in mind when he spoke of sweet personality in that lyric. As a member of the Girl Re- serves she represents that group as an ideal girl and un ideal worker. 1950 . .z ..

STUART HEINEMANN-A young student from Colorado. Joke editor of annual staff. A collegiate chan in the Junior Revels. The interesting professor in Little Women. Member of the mixed chorus, glee club, anti Dee Dee club. He was very good as the loyal friend in The wBSlD'8 Nest. Tall. thin, and humorous. MARGARET BERGMAN-Member of the Girl Reserves and G. A. A. She is as pleasant as she is' attractive, which is saying a good deal. We often get the impression that Marxraret is bashful, but really she isn't. ROBERT FEATHERNGILL-A husky football player, and also good in track. One of Prathefs Sea Scouts. A member of the Hi-Y and I club. He has an irresistible Zfin. and he makes friends wherever he goes.

Plays violin in second orchestra this year. James is progressing in his music and expects to be a great musician some day. He is a. very talkative chup, and he has s. host. of friends. DOROTHEA WATSON-High school orches- tra. A proud member of the Pep club this year. One of the graceful dancers in the Junior Revels last year. How she can take in the money as treasurer of the senior class! Dot took Dart in the declamation contest in l927. Vice president of Girl Reserves this year. Dancing, dating. and daring. ALDEEN DONALDSON-In her younger days a member of the Girl Reserves. Aldeen is the reason Why the averages in so many classes are high. Contrary to the feminine inaptitude to knowledge, she is able to grasp thoroughly the required work ol' a high school student. LEONARD ST0TTS4One of these French speaking gentlemen. a member of the French club lust year. A bold young Sea Scout. Leonard plays the banjo in the senior class orchestra. He needs no eulosry: he speaks for himself. MILLICENT HOLLINGSWORTH-President of G. A. A. in 1929 and secretary in 1930. A very good basketball player and interested in all sports. A member of the well-known Dee Dee club this year. She took part in several plays given in chapel. She died very well as Beth in Little Women. A mem- ber of the mixed chorus and glee club.

JAMES BURKE--One of Miss Reid's prod- ucts, a member of the mixed chorus and glee club last year. A member of the Spanish club in 1927. Quite a mischievous boy. he is in his glory when he can play in the chemistry lab. ADA BARNWELL-Before becoming a stu- dent in I. H. S., Ada attended high school in Southwest City. She is a member of the G. A. A., and she plays basketball. She is a very speedy typist. and she has the ability to talk the same way. 1950 J -N THE ORANGE AND BLACK CLARENCE SCRAN'TONfAn ideal student from a scholastic and musical standpoint. A four year Hi-Y cabinet member and Hi-Y president in junior year. Orchestra, band, brass quartet, and Junior Revels musician. Scholastic achievements include Honor Society and scholarship team. If we were all as smart as he, what a wonderful place this world would be lfor the teachersj. DORIS PENDLETON-A feminine pirate in more ways than one. Our guess is that she couldn'l. find enough to keep her busy in Carney. so she decided to revive Independence and proceeded to burn up huge :Amounts of gasoline along Penn. avenue. Although she makes no statements for publication or ad- vertising purposes, it is rumored her favorite gasoline is Texaco. GWENDOLYN KLEIN--It is hard to decide with which she makes the most noise-her violin in orchestra or her giggle. Music chairman of Girl Reserves and G. A. A. member. Straw-stuffed scarecrow in Junior Revels. Like her father's business, although she seems Puritan in nature, she has plenty ol' fireworks. DONALD GREEN-As an innocent freshman he belonged to Hi-Y and freshman chorus but hus since been occupied by other pursuits. in which his altogether too winning smile was probably of great assistance to him. Al- thouyrh meaning no disrespect to Donuld's nbility as :1 student, we suspect that he utilizes Lhis aforementioned smile in melting the cold hearts of various instructors. DOROTHY DAMBACHER-As sweet and re- served as the shy little violets she portrayed in the Junior Revels: and, like the violets, she is really and truly an old-fashioned girl. She maintains her position on the honor roll by her quiet and systematic studying. MELVIN MARSH-A four-year member of the Hi-Y. He managed to become a senior in spite of all kinds of adversities and dis- tractions. mostly in the form of numerous disagreements with one diminutive, dark- haired junior. He varies slightly from his contemporaries by a desire for s. motorcycle instead of a Ford. ARTHUR DeVORE-Another one of the sea farin' scouts of the billowy Kansas plains. and also another repetition of Miss Lake's despair in good ol' American history. His continuous laugh, even in the face of such obstacles as history. causes us to doubt the old and well-known supposition that all Titian- haired people were of likewise-hued tempers. THERESA BELLE TRUMBLY-A dark-eyed girl from an expensive-sounding place known as Diamond, Missouri. Her quiet voice and manner give no indication of her quickness and keen eye, which were the principal reasons why the seniors had such A good team in the G. A. A. basketball tournament. 1930 Page 35 Page 36 THB ORANGE AND BLACK EMILE AUCREMAN--An old veteran of Skipper Prather's crew of salty Sea Scouts. Former member of French club, and as everyone who studies French isn't French, he is nne of the great consolations in Miss Wardell's life: between them they prove that there are two as well as fifty-million French- men who can't be wrong. BETH KELLER.-A leader in everything, whether school activities or mischief. Former Girl Reserve and junior class officer, and Pep club president. Musical inclinations displayed in orchestra, girlsf glee club, and mixed chorus. Junior Revels commedienne and ador- able heroine of The Wasp's Nest.

HARRIET TAYLOR-This extremely lively member of our Pep club blew in from Nevada. Missouri, a few short years ago and proceeded to make herself known in various activities. such as girls' glee club, mixed chorus, Dee Dee club, and Junior Revels. We predict for her u' future occupied with winning bathing beauty contests. DALE DOAKES-A used-to-be Hi-Y member who graduated to the ownership of n tlivver. now almost dilapidated by cruel treatment, and the shiekish ways characteristic of the modern gasoline cowboys. Although he can't be considered sentimental. he has a fondness for gardens, or maybe it's only singular. RUSSELL ADAIR-A former boy scout who continues his daily good deed by becominfr one of the property boys for the Dee Dee club, of which he is a member. As Salvatore, the saxophone player, he was the cause of much mental anguish on the part of The 'lfruvelersh in An Evening' with Booth Tarkingtonf' DUWAYNE EMERY- 1 club member and sport editor of the Orange and Black. All Southeast-Kansas tackle. A typical curly- haired, movie football hero, who won thc Chanute football game by just two points, although the story is slightly spoiled because there was more than one minute to play. THURMAN HOBSON-A small boy who was xi big' factor in the winning of the S. E. K. football championship. Spends his spare time running errands for the otfice and showin! people how to build stage settings. Besides those mentioned before. Hohby's other hobbies are I club, Dee Dee club, truck, and glee club. EDWARD WHITE-A four-year Hi-Y member and a good student. One reason why teachers continue to teach, and a joy to Miss Stewart in typewriting. Yet, with nll these accomlv- lishments, his great interest is not, as might be supposed, Hi-Y or studies, hut at certain small senior culled Betty. 1950 use ll M. i L I: r 1 9 It - I, , ,,,,.a-r THE. ORANGE 7 U- -' -v--. . . AND BLACK NATHAN PERSKY-Another talented musi- cian--pluys saxaphone in the high school band. Money doesn't mean a thing to this lml. All ambition! His specialty is the art of conversing with his hands. Perhaps its is this hobby, or maybe it is a great big friendly grin, that makes Nate popular with everyone who knows him. DOROTHY HIATT-A member of the Nation- al Honor Society. On the Girl Reserve cabinet and a delegate to Hollister last sum- mer. A very brilliant Miss who took part in the Pittsburg scholarship contest. Amonx her other very worth-while activities are G. A. A. and French club.

A tall. slender. reserved girl that causes the envy of all the little chocolate-eating babies now that long skirts are calling for graceful figures. FORREST TURNER-A member of the Hi-Y and Spanish club. An exceedingly brilliant young mun. u contestant in the scholarship contest two years. He sang in the chorus when he was in the ninth grade. And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew that one small head could carry all he knew. BESSIE ALTAFFER-Energetic finance chair- man of the Girl Reserves cabinet. She believes in exercising her head, too, and ss a result she is one of the very important brains of the senior class. an Honor Society member, and ,a frequent contestant in scholarship com- petition. STEPHEN DcVORE-One of the Sea Scouts: also a member of the Hi-Y. He has made a good showing in scholarship and is 8. member of the National Honor Society.

He has been a member of the I club the last two years. Plays basketball very well. but tennis is his game. A tall. slender youth who will someday be a great tennis champion.

LE ROY BUTLER-A member of the Hi-Y in his freshman year. By his wonderful tennis ability he has earned an I and has been a member of the I club for three years. When the weather is pcrmisssble, you will find him at the tennis courts, in- dulging in this very interesting sport. FRED SHELDON-A member ol' the Dee Dee club. A humorous character in the Junior Revels last year. A very good singer in the mixed chorus and glee club. One of our peppy cheer leaders. The romantic youm: hero in The Wasp's Nest. The love-sick Mr. Brooke in Little Women. 'l'ruIy a ladies' man. MARJORIE BEATHE-A quiet. shy little senior who is conspicuous for her meekness. It is rumored that she hopes to become an efficient business woman at some future day: and she will probably be another lamb who conquered the lion, the lion being the cruel business world. ' 1930 7' fl THE ORANGE AND BLACK MILTON MARSHALL-A former Coiieyvil- lain who is now s handsome young man-about town here. That is, he might be about town only it seems that a certain senior blonde, not so far away, rather restricts any nomadic tendencies he might entertain. SARA BOYLE-A cruel and heartless blonde with literary tendencies-at least, it's rumored she has a great liking' for Milton. Had a Him: at the life of a chorus girl in Junior Follies and then' turned journalistic to become a member of the Student staff. HULDA BLADEMAnother one ol' those fickle persons commonly called blondes, whom gentle- men are said to have a preference for.

Besides his hard work in his studies, he also does his part in making the Hi-Y one of the most. lively or- ganizations in the school. LYLE FARLOW-He has a. villainish frown which is somewhat spoiled hy his innocent blue eyes and curly hair. He can find little time for activities outside of his required studies, though just why this is so cannot be guessed, unless it is becaue he spends so much time at a certain house on South Fifth street. ETHELYN NICE-A rather slim young miss with mild blue eyes which would cause one to surmise incorrectily that she has a likewise mild nature. She has n. great gift for using that art of her tongue which is so common among women-the gift of gab. 1950 Page 39 Page 40 THE ORANGE AND BLACK HARRY L. WIGGINS--An ambitious athlete wi'h many years' work to his beneht. He played football '25, '26, '27, and basketball four years. This year, with an intent purpose, he is out for track. With all this exercise Harry ouyrht to be a strong boy-and who knows-Mperhaps we'll hear of him someday. LOWELL AXER--He seems to have a liking for Mr, Jacoby, or perhaps it:'s Constitution: anyway, he has spent several semesters trying to absorb. this subject. The responsibility of his school work doesn't. seem to weigh upon his spirit. EARL CAMPBELL-A diligent player in the lizgh school band and orchestra. A business- like member of the Dee Dee club, helm: the terror ol' new members during initiations. A clever actor in the Junior Revels. He also played well in Graustark and The Travel- ers. If there's anything Earl doesn't know, r'on't bother to tell him-it isn't worth knowing. DOYLE HARBERT-He is secretive about it, but really Doyle is quite bashful. So be kind, girls, and keep away. The attitude assumed in the picture is merely a bluIl', for he blushes with an ease that is astonishing. Perhaps it's this timidity that forces him to hide his nptness from his instructors. 1930 . . 1, T. fx S 0' QUN... 84161-rf Page 42 THB URANGB AND BLACK JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to Right: Hudiburg, secretary: Salathiel. president: Hoopes. treasurer: Clement. vice-president. Junior-Senior Banquet On the evening of May 16, the Junior class played host to the Senior class in its traditional gracious manner at the annual Junior-Senior banquet held at the Memorial Hall. The Juniors, under the capable direction of the sponsors, Misses Hall, Blair, and Dikeman, and the student executive committee, put forth their combined best efforts to make the affair an unforgettable success, and they certainly succeeded. The large banquet room was decorted in the rain- bow colors with soft pastels in evidence in all the appoint- ments. John Salathiel, Junior class president, acted as toast-master, and various witty and entertaining toast were given. Music and short skits were presented between courses and received prolonged applause. In what seemed an amazingly short time, the banquet was concluded, and the Seniorsleft with memories and the Juniors hopes for the next year's banquet. 1950 lle!l,Y,!r Qi' --- -.f..,.-3... 4 -A K THB ORANGE AND BLACK The Junior Follies To the Junior class of 1930, their sponsors, and the other teachers who helped to make the Junior Follies a success, we offer our congratulations. The Follies certainly was a success! A large crowd attended the big show, which was given on the evening of April 11. The stage was cleverly decorated to represent a night club scene. The Follies was divided into two acts, each act consisting of choruses, skits, and special numbers, The first act was composed of the following: Happy Days -the opening chorusg a clever skit, Gimlet vs Corkscrew, an Apache Danceg the Cowboys' Danceg the Snowflakes Danceg the Turn on the Heat chorus: a Southern tap danceg Love Me, a singing-dancing actg and the patriotic dance by the American Patrol. In the second act we1'e two very humorous skits, Condemned and On a Park Bench . Besides the skits, the following were pre- sented: The One I Love Can't Be Bothered with Me ' by the Black and White chorus: Gotta Feelin' for You by the Boys' chorusg and several specialties, including One Alone , a piano solo by Richard Murrowg Then I'll Be Reminded of You , a vocal solo by Ivan Thompson 3 a tap dance by Lois Smith: a vocal duet, Lazy Lousi- ana Moon , by the Stacy twins: and a contortionist dance by Nelle Beeler. The concluding number on the program was a vocal solo by Ivan Thompson, The Woman in the Shoe , and he was joined in the chorus by the entire cast for the grand finale. The juniors were most fortunate in having as accompanist for the choruses, Richard Murrow, one df the school's most talented musicians. Other music was furnished by the junior class orchestra. Those who assisted the juniors to present the Follies were Miss Beth Hall, Miss Zella Spradling, Miss Anna Ingleman, Miss Irene Reid, Miss Helen Blair, Miss Amanda Dikeman, and Miss Elva Hughes. 1930 , , ,.', , ' Wi..

Sophomore Class History Completing the year with a membership of approximately 228 members, the sophomore class of the-present school year ex- ceeds the class of 1928-29, whosemembership was 191. Due to its large membership, the sophomore class has been more or less inactive as an organization. Nevertheless, the mem- bers as individuals have taken an active part in school life. It has been discovered that the sophomores are more musical than their predecessors. Two sophomore students were included in the cast for the musical comedy, Barbarossa of Bar- bary, besides those taking part in the choruses. Two- of the girls are in the girls' quartette. The sophomores in the high school choruses greatly outnumber those of last year. We are very proud that our class has been well represented on the basketball team. Two members played on the regular squad and received letters, while several other sophomore boys played as substitutes. Among its additional claims of distinction are: one of the girl cheer leaders, a. member of the Dee Dee club, and the student maintaining the highest record in scholarship contests. Altogether the sophomore class is creditably represented in every phase of school life-Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, music, athletics, dramatics, and scholarship. 1950 l .-uhlnagwb THE.

Both groups have meetings every two weeks. ' The Blue Star group chose the Girl Reserve slogan To face life square- ly as the theme for its programs this year. Some of the most interesting pro- grams were the ones on dress, thriff, service, and loyalty. The Christmas pro- gram included a play called The Spirit of Christmas. The Blue Triangle group modeled its program around the idea Quests of Life. ' The program on Quest for Friendship was one of the most interesting because the members discussed their ideal friends. Perhaps the outstanding event-of the year for most of the girls was the Mother-Daughter banquet, which was held March 13. The Girl Reserves of both groups are interested in helping others and in following the gleam as the knights in the days of old. In the meetings the girls have an opportunity to express their ideas in all their problems. Aside from the general programs these groups collected food at Thanksgiving to send the needy. They have held candy sales regularly to raise money to help girls attend the summer camp of the Y. W. C. A. and to buy the friendship chest. The sponsors of the Blue Star group are Miss Wahl and Miss Tulloss and the officers are: president, Alberta Leaderg vice-president, Betty Lou Stuckerg secretary, Georgia Lee Rockwellg treasurer, Peggy Anne Landong pianist, De Lyte Tallman. The sponsors of the Blue Triangle group are Miss Ward and Miss Crocker. The officers are: president, June Bolton: vice-president, Leora Anderson: secretary, Emily Vroomang treasurer, Ruth DeVoreg and pianist, Virginia Davis. 1950 --1 - .- , i L.. THE. ORANGE AIJD BLAAK.

They have had a very successful season this year. They helped the senior Hi-y put over the Father and Son, and Mother and Son banquets, both being a big success. The membership at present is sixty. The officers of Mr. Heckethorrfs group are: president, Chester Burnsg vice-president, Louis Behrensg secretary, Harold Whiteg treasurer, Jim McKinley. The officers of Mr. Parker's group are: president, Buddy Waltsg vice-president, John O'Brien3 secretary, Bruce Good- wing treasurer, Watt McBrayer. A The greatest and highestiachievement, or the motto of the Hi-Y is: To create, maintain, and extend throughout our school and community high standards of Christian character. It is for this that the club was organized and created. It is for this that the boys have enrolled into this activity, and they will, no doubt, make life more happy, more spirtual for themselves, and will get finer ideas out of life then they would otherwise. Nine members were .sent last summer to attend Camp Wood. 1930 '-f, l Page 59 Page 60 Tl-In ORANGE AND BLACK JUNIOR HIGH PEP CLUB JW Top Row, Left to Right: Pendleton, White R. DeVore. Cramer. Ewers.

Junior H igh Basketball The Junior Four league, composed of the junior high schools of Hum- boldt, Cherryvale, Fredonia, and Independence, was formed at the start of the basketball season, and athletics between these schools to determine champion- ship. in dil'1'erent sports, was started. The Bullpups, after meeting with a reversal in their first league game, came back strong and won all their remaining league games and the first cham- pionship oi' the newly formed league. The Bullpups received a large silver basketball as a reward for the league championship they had won. The week following the close of the league play, the 'Bullpups acted as hosts to the junior high teams of this section in a junior high tournament, In the finals of the tournament, they met a large team from Arkansas City, and lost their second game of the season.

Mr. Reppert's work on this book was of inestimable value and cannot be praised sufficiently, and whatever success this annual achieves is due directly to him, for the novel theme was of his concept-ion and its execution is the result of his hard work and perseverance under what were sometimes exasperating conditions. The printing and the binding were done in his printing classes. Bigger and Better is a hack- neyecl term, but it was the goal the staff strove for, and it adopted for its motto the senior class motto, Achievement through Effortf' and the publication which you are now reading is the staff's degree only wish is that it may serve as a of achievement.

The boys' glee club was composed of thirty-five voices, it being the larg- est boys' glee club ever organized in Independence high school. Under the ellici- ent leadership of Miss Irene Reid, this musical group quickly became well trained and performed with an almost professional skill and ease. The club met on Tuesdays and Thursdays with mixed chorus on Mondays. The organization sang' at several public concerts, assembly programs, com- mencement programs, and took part in the annual music contest ai, Pittslmrg Teachers College. It was from this club that the male members of thecomedy, l2arlrarossa ol' l3arbary were chosen, and all the club members worked diligently Lo make the production the success it was.

Although quite often such El large group is difficult to manage and to obtain results from, the club as a whole signified its intention to work together from the first day in September till the club's disbzindment in May, much to the delight of Miss Reid, the director. This spirit of cooperation was especially manifest during the rehearsals and pcrformzinces of the glee club's musical comedy production, Bnrbarossa of Barbary ', in which the girls furnished most of the choruses and the female principals. Also many who were not actually in the show worked on the busi- ness or stage craft part of the presentation. GIRLS' QUARTET '11 l - mf ,ef L 20 iff f. .L .sq--,v ,-ff-.ref Luft, to Rishi: llvwis.

It has played for sev- eral public concerts and has furnished a small orchestra for various school act- ivities. The organization also cogmpeted in the music contest at Pittsburg and came home with second honors. ' The orchestra is composed of eighty-four members and is not only one of the largest but one of the best trained groups in this section of the country. Their success is largely due to the unceasing effort of Professor Goepfert to achieyo perfection. Evidently he chose the maxim Practice make perfect , for all the members of the orchestra practiced long and hard on their various parts. and the orchestra rehearsed the contest selection from the opening of school. Also the orchestra had the honor of having two of its members chosen to play in the National High School Orchestra which gave a series of eastern concerts this winter, broadcasting, and playing before President Hoover. In- dependence was the only high school in Kansas to send two delegates, and these were Agnes MaeCoy, 'cello, and Ivan Thompson, bassoon. Many of the leaders of the various sections of the orchestra are gradu- ating this year, but Professor Goepfert announces that the outlook for just as efficient and talented an organization for the coming year is good. 1950 'THE ORANGE AND BLACK I -'I 3 Personnel ul' lizmflz Kelly.

It success is largely due to the untiring efforts of our director, Mr. Paul O. Goepfert. We are very fortunate to be able to work under a man with the knowledge of music and the wide experience in directing that he has. The band has played for all the football games at home. From this group was selected a small band, called the Pep Band. This organ- ization, under the direction of Clarence Scranton, has accompanied the football and basketball teams to most of the out-of-town games. Our director, some years ago, conceived the idea of organizing a junior band, in which he would train the younger boys to play: and, as soon as they were able, he would transfer them to the high school band. This plan has work- ed very satisfactorily, and now the band is reaping the benefits of it. The band has always been ready to play at all times or to furnish its services to any organization on any occasion, whenever asked. The band is the largest in its history, with a membership of forty-eight pieces. 1950 Page 77 Page 78 'Tl-lr-3.

Jacoby, Couch 'rua omxuaa AND BLACK IDebate Debate has gained the reputation of one of our most interesting activities this year, and the interest aroused in it almost equals that in athletics. Mr. Jacoby in his second year as coach proved that he only began to strike his stride in the previous year. The teams were decidely strengthened over those of last year's teams, having only the new members to train instead of a whole team as there was formerly. Ida McGarvey, James Callahan, and Ben Salathiel were the three veterans, while Ida Rae Spradling .started with everything to learn. The teams got off to a flying start by winning first place in the tournament at Pittsburg in November against competition from all over Kansas. From this tournament the teams returned bearing a silver cup and two gold medals won by Jimmy and Benny. In the second tournament in January, at Lawrence, where the competition was much stronger, the teams were again victorious, winning a silver cup for first place. Thus the teams entered league competition with the best of preparation, having won the two tournaments and participated in other debates. They came out first in the league easily, and won a bronze plaque. Their satisfaction in this victory was greatly enchanced by a decision of three to nothing for both nega- tive and affirmative against Coffeyville, their ancient rivals. The district- championship also fell in their hands after the defeat of Baxter Springs, and a good looking silver cup was presented them. Both teams made a fine record at the state tournament at Lawrence, on March twenty-first, even though they did not win the cupg and they were among those present in the finals, losing in a dual debate with Hoisington. This makes only the second time in the history of I. H. S. that the debate teams have gone to the state finals, and the school has every reason to be proud of the record which has been made this year. The teams feel that credit for their victories belongs exclusively to Mr. Jacoby and to Miss Gemmel, who have been as ti1'eless as they were efficient in their efforts. l Ben Salathiel will be the only member in this year s team back to carry on the good work next year, as the other three will graduate. If the teams show as much improvement next year as they have this, they should go far. 1930 Page 79 Page 80 THE. ORANGE AND BLACK The Public Library An ivy-covered brick building with a friendly gleam from its brass doors and an invitation on its broad steps-the city library occupies an important place in the life of every high school student. Closely interwoven traditions of companionship and study have settled about it as naturally as the ivy that covers it, in the years that have passed. To many the close of their high school career will not mean the end of pleasant associations with the library, but to all those who graduate this year, the memory of those hours will linger long. Whether it serves as a place for earnest and desperate study, or for social' pastime, or whether it assumes the enhancement of a rendezvous for an eight o'clock date, its facilities a1'e invaluable to the student and its memory a dear one. - All who have made themselves familiar with this institution have become equally familiar with the work of its guardian and head-librarian, Miss Anna Gemmel and her staff of helpers. They have always given unselfishly of their time and knowledge to those who required their help, and their long experience has made their aid a valuable one indeed. Miss Gemmel has been of much assistance this year, as always, in secur- ing the necessary material for the debate teams, who have found a continual supply of it at their disposal. Her interest in debate has always been keen, and she spares no effort in their behalf. 1950 fwfgfibnf ' npr 8' THE ORANGE AND BLAgK HONOR SOCIETY Ton RUW.

Honor Society History The National Honor Society, as we know it now, is an outgrowth of an Honor Society for high schools, the Phi Beta Sigma, founded by Dr. Owen of Chicago Normal College in 1900. Following this lead, other societies were form- ed from coast to coast, each society acting independent of its brother society. Then came the formation of the National Honor Society, binding all individual societies together. The first local chapter of the National Honor Society was organized seven years ago under the supervision of Mr. W. L. Friley and with Miss Jarrett as sponsor. Both Mr. Friley and Miss Jarrett are still affiliated with the society. Many members have been taken in annually since its' establishment, and the Independence Chapter is a well-established branch of this organization. The chief purpose of the society was at first to honor the scholarsg but feeling that scholarship alone was not sufficient, a committee decided that character, scholarship, leadership, and service were to be ' fundamental virtues for membership. An impressive initiation ceremony was held in sen- ior assembly at which Principal Stevens presented the candidates with the gold pins representative of admission into the society. Several meetings were called during the course of the year, both of business and social nature, and the following officers were elected: Jack Raglin, president: Dorothy Knockf vice-presidentg Roger Blades, secretaryg and Jesse Dalton, treasurer.

Members were taken in at several initiations which were characterized by the hilarious attire of those being initiated. , Following its custom, the Dee Dee Club Dresented one long play each semester. An Evening With Booth Tarkingtonn was a novel experiment by the club, with talks, readings, and short plays by Tarkington affording the mater- ial for entertainment. This innovation was appreciatively received. nThe Wasp's Nest, a thrilling comedy-mystery, was the second produc- tion, and due to its careful and elaborate staging and the general excellence of the cast, had the honor of being the first play to be presented three times in Independence high school. A dramatized version of Louisa M. A1cott's classic, Little Women, was the last Dee Dee presentation. Its quaint settings, costumes, and dialogue brought moistened eyes to some of the elder patrons, and greatly amused the younger ones. Besides these long plays the Dee Dee Club enter- tained the assembly audiences and various city clubs with skits and short plays, among which were The Pot Boilers, His Best Seller, Aunt Sophronia at College, What Love Can Do, and many others. g Miss lnglenmn Sponsor 1950 Page 83 Page S4 THE.

Vesper and Recognition services were held in the fall. The theme selected for the year was Growing to Be. A Scrap boks and paper dolls were made for sick children. Several pillows and a dressing table were covered by some of the girls for the Y. W. C. A. when they moved to new rooms. Thanks- giving baskets were taken to the less fortunate families, and tub- erculosis seals were sold by the club. A very artistic handkerchief sale was heldg and gifts were taken to the Mexicans during the holidays. The G. R. was helped by the Y. W. C. A. in giving the Mother-Daughter Banquet. Last, but not least, a Treasure Chest was sent to the Philippine Islands to help foster friendship be- tween them and the United States. Thirteen delegates and two sponsors attended the mid-win- ter conference at Parsons, and seven delegates and one sponsor attended the Tulsa conference. Friendship and able guidance have been given the organi- zation by its sponsors, the Misses Gray, Wardell, Murphy, and Blair. mo THE. ORANGE AND BLACK SENIOR HI-Y Top Row. Loft to Rirrht: Vtfehry.

To help boost school athletics, pencils with the football schedule printed on them were sold to the students, and during basketball season score cards were given to the public. The Student and Hi-Y also prepared a program and score card for the annual Turkey Day Scrap. The Father and Son Banquet was given by the Junior and Senior Hi-Y Club and a large number was in attendance. At the first signs of spring a college golf tournament was started among the club members. Medals and ribbons for the winners in the various events were given at the Inter-Class track meet.

The Pep Club The senior high school Pep- Club was first organized in 1926 under the sponsorship of Miss Zella Spradling, physical education instructor, who has con- tinued in this position till the present time and to whom the success of the club is due. ' 1 . The purpose of the club is to create enthuiasm in the student body Ior all school activities, partciualarly athletics. There were in 1930, twenty-eight members, including the cheer leaders as honorary members. The club uniform consists of an orange jersey with a black Bulldog on it, and a black pleated skirt. Attractively clad in this uniform, the club gave clever drills between halves of basketball and football games. The club officers for 1929-1930 were: president, Beth Kellerg vice- president, Dorothy Knock, secretary-treasurer, Lois Smithg and cheer leaders, Mary Beth Lewis and Irene Dancer. Candidates become members after receiv- ing a majority vote of the members and having a public initiation. The members are limited to thirty. ' Besides the cheering and drill work, the Pep Club held numerous so- cial meetings. They acted as hostesses to a banquet for the football team, and held candy and doughnut sales to obtain money for the track team to enter the K. U. Relays, after the athletic fund was tied up in the bank crash. No description of the Pep Club would be complete without a word or so about Mrs. A. W. Shulthis, the fairy god-mother of the organization, who, while in no way connected with the Pep Club, gave generously of her time and means to make things more pleasant for the club members.

Every evening after school is devoted to the sports: basketball, volley ball, tennis, swimming, baseball, and soccer. Points are given for all these sports. Each activity offers a certain number of points for practicing, making the teams, and leadership. Three hundred points entitle one to a G. A.

For the first time in the history of the club, the membership included junior high students. This proved to be a forward step, as the interest and enthusiasm shown by them in all of the projects that were undertaken stimulated the inter- est of the rest of the members. ' The Daubers sponsored the art exhibit this year as has been the custom for the past three years. Some of the projects that were undertaken were: deco- rative silhouets, painted pottery, dyed handkerchiefs and scarfs, and lamp shades. We are planning several field trips this spring, also, during which we will take up outdoor sketching. Much oi' the success of the club is due to the untiring efforts of our spon- sor, Miss Dikernan.

Losey, Physical Education Mr. Losey works about as hard as any person in this high school, but few of us know of the work he really does. Besides the several gym classes he has every day of the school year, he also must find time to supervise grade school ath- letics, and is invariably .called on to arrange some entertainment from his gym classes at various periods of the year, for any occas- ion for which he might be called. This all takes extra work, espec- ially on Mr. Losey's part. Mr. Losey also helps instruct the boys in their work during summer school here. He was at one time junior college basketball coach, and at all times is the handy man of the school. 1950 Coach Deane H. Smith The season of 1929-30 has been Coach Deane Smith's big yea1'. ' Having produced what is probably the b'est football team Independ- ence high school ever boasted, a scrappy, if not entirely successful basketball team, and a winning track team, Coach Smith has a right to feel proud. But in his un- assuming way he explains that it was all due either to the players' efficiency or good breaks rather than his coaching. The clean sportsmanship which marks the various teams' efforts also marks the character of our coach, who is a shining example of a square- shooter, a gritty fighter, and above allfa sportsman.

S.Sp'i1'it We feel that due credit should be given the cheerleaders as well as the girls' pep club and the boys' pep band. These three groups are what make and hold most of the spirit in athletic contests. The crowd attending all the games this year also showed what a. multitude of people can do for the credit of the town if they choose to do so. Our home games were well at- tended, not excluding the track meets. The people of the town, and the students, all seemed to take a more enthusiasticinterest in the games.Perhaps it was because We are in a larger league with keener competitiong or perhaps it was because of our teams this year. The girls' pep club also brightened up the occasion by giv- ing cheers and some interesting marching drills at a good many of the home games. They also attended nearly all the out of town games, as did the boys' pep band. This small band played almost all of the out-of-town games and was present at theahome games. For having so few in the band they certainly did put out the music, and it was greatly appreciated by the players. These boys deserve credit for their faithful attendence, and they turned out to be an inspiring influence for the players.'They can surely give a game all the necessary pep in a musical way. 1950 FEM 0 TBA mx L5 Page 92 THB ORANGE AND BLACK :jj-rv---Qzg: ' ' jj:--A--v--1 1 : -1. -L- -f -- -.M .

The first game of the season was played here, Sept. 28, with Caney. This was a non-league encounter which the Bulldogs won 20-0, In this game Bretches was injured to such an extent that he was unable to play for several games and was crippled for the season. In the first league game the Bulldogs played Pitts- burg there. This team had been favored to win the title, and in the players estimation, it was the hardest to con- quer. They started tackle smashes and seemed to have little difficulty in making their first and tens. The Bull- dogs chances were beginning to loolg dark when Avery received a punt and followed excellent interference to the first and only touchdown of the game. After this the Bull- dogs renewed their fight and completely out played thc Pittsburg team the rest of the game. It was here that Callahan, playing a fine game at guard, received a bad shoulder which practically ruined him for the rest of the season. In Parsons the Bulldogs found an easy opponent and ran the score up to 20 to 0, and would have had a much higher score if it had not been for the many penalties which totaled over 100 yards.

ORANGE ANU BLACK q.l,....L.-.: ' ,.., 4 , -'H , bu,-,LA ,,, S. E. K. Champions The first home game of the season was with Fort Scott. They had a large team but were no match for the Bulldogs who were all playing real ball. Simpson made some nice gains. All the reserves who got in did well. We won the game 13-0 In a non-league game with Neodesha the Bulldogs had a hard time the first half, but came back the second half and won 20-0. The Columbus game proved to be a walk-away for the Buldogs ', and the easiest game of the season which we won 45-0. In this game nearly all of the reserves were used and they showed up very well. The Chanute game was one of the hard games of the season. The Bulldogs barely edged out 11 2-0 victory when Emery blocked a punt. A muddy field was largly to blame for the close call because the backs could not get started on their end runs. At Iola the Bulldogs received a hard blow when they had their spotless record marred by the weakest team of the league when they succeeded in making a touchdown which was hotly contested by the Independence fans. We won the game 19-6, but the boys felt nearly as badly as if they had lost. The annual Turkeyday game with Coffeyville de- coded the Championship, as neither team had been defeat ed. This game attracted one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a football game in this section of the coun- try. ln this final fray the Bulldogs came out on top with a 32 0 victory, and the championship of the Southeast Kan- sas league.

With four lettermen returning, although one was graduated at mid-semester, Independence entered into its first full schedule of basketball games in the S. E. K. circuit, playing twice every week. For the second consecutive year Coach Smith took a squad of eight men on a Christmas trip in Northern Kansas. Playing in the Leavenworth gym, the Bulldogs opened up with a flashy offensive attack to win 30 to 9. After a long drive the next day, I. H. S. was administered her first defeat of the season by the strong Ottawa quintet. The score was 25 to 17. Due to large snowstorms and drifts the S. E. K. league got off to a late start, but on January 14, Independence counted their first league victory by trouncing Iola, 30 to 22. This also was the last appearance of Royce Nickey, colorful Orange and Black guard, who was a veteran of two seasons. Again bad weather interfered with the play, and Independence was forced to cancel the following game with Parsons. Turning to non-league engagements, the Bulldog cagers took on Neode- sha. This game attracted considerable anxiety, for without the services of Erdon Avery, injured star, our chances looked very slim, but we barely eked out a 22 to 17 win. The supreme test of the Bulldogys mettle came at the new Columbus field house, when I. H. S. was let off on the little end of a 21 to 16 tilt. Losing seemed to be a growing habit as Chanute and'Pittsburg downed us on successive occasions, but not until after they had extended themselves to the limit. Coffeyville broke the jinx by arousing the Bulldogs into such a fighting spirit that they bared their teeth and disposed of Javatown, 22 to 20. The prospects of a victory over Fort Scott seemed so much brighter that the squad was allowed a whole day from school to make the trip, and they brought home the bacon, too, winning 38 to 18. Erdon Avery was the Grey- hound nemesis, playing sensational ball throughout the game. 1950 'rl-in onlime AND BLACK Jw. . Ltf. to Right: Blakeslee. Dalton, Avery. Basketball History Determined to stay in the first division, the Orange and Black waded through the Iola aggregation, 32 to13. Hard workouts were held to no avail for the Parsons scrap. The Blue Devils completely subdued us and held a 31-20 advantage when the final gon' sounded. Fired with thoughts ofrevenge, the Bulldogs carried the battle to their Cherokee County foes, but were unable to break through a staunch Columbus defense and lost, 10-19. Just the remembrance of how Chanute turned the tables on us in our first meeting made the Bulldogs vicious, but this time the Orange and Black put re- morse into their hearts by drubbing them, 28-19. Neodesha came here next with intentions of calming the Bulldogs, but were sent home with a 23 to 19 defeat. Facing the next fray as the underdog, Independence braced and went out on the court to meet the league leading Pittsburg team. Probably the finest game of the year resulted in a Purple victory, although it was only after our boys had extended themselves to the limit that they lost, 25-30. Entering their last game with Coffeyville, the Bulldogs played fast and scrappy ball to outclass the Tornado. The score was 26-20. Bart Blakeslee and Jesse Dalton played the best game of anyone on the floor. Fort Scott, having already cinched the dellarposition, came here to close the season and helped to fatten the Bulldogs' percentage. Avery was quaran- tined with scarlet fever, on that day, but the Greyhounds were routed, anyway, 26-22. After this mediocre season, Coach Smith was Still confident in his proteges for the district tournament. Drawing a bye in the first round, the Bulldogs swept Humboldt off their feet, in the second canto, 27-14. The husky Gridley team then confronted I.H.S. After piling up an early lead, Independence finally won this ragged contest, 14-13, losing in the finals to Fredonia. 1950 Page 97 Page 98 THE. ORANGE AND BLACK BASKETBALL TEAM 'l'0n Row.

This number dwindled to about half as the season went on, and the remaining picked group composed the team of which Alfred Simpson was captain. The first meet was the inter-class meet on April 4, which the seniors won with a score of 61 points to the juniors' 43. The sophomores and freshmen also ran to the tune of 17 points. On April 11 in a dual meet with Neodesha, the Bulldogs defeated the Neodeshans 82 to 50. April 16 was the date of a triangular meet with Fre- donia and Neodesha. The results were: Independence 102, Fredonia 31, and Neodesha 25. Coffeyville was defeated in a dual meet on April 22 by an 82 to 50 count. The next meet was the S. E. K. field carnival at Parsons, in which Inde- pendence was nosed out of first place by Pittsburg, 41 to 55. Independence also entered in some events at the Baker Relays on April 25 and placed second in the mile relay. Further reports on the outcome of track meets are impossible, due to the fact that the Orange and Black must be printed before their occurrence. How- ever, it might be well to mention the names of, those who did outstanding work, these were Phipps, Simpson, Avery, Snell, Blakeslee, Brooks, Davis, Wyckoff, Pendleton, Nilsson, Huffman, Rees, and DeMott. 1950 -- .H . -H -rue calmer: Ann BLACK Tennis In order to compare with past standards of I. H. S. court teams it was necessary for the '29 Bulldogs to put forth their best efforts. The team was corn- posed oi Boo Allred and Jesse Dalton in the singles, while LeRoy Butler and vernon McKay bore the brunt of tne doubles play. These boys were picked to compete by virtue of a high school tournament. ' The first major tournament of the season was the Baker Relay Carnival, where Independence carried off high honors, Jesse Dalton winning the singles crown and winning a leg for I. H. S. on the three-year challenge trophy. The Orange and Black was predominating in all dual meets, scoring victories against Columbus, Coffeyville, Caney, Cherryvale, and Chanute, and losing to no one. To top off their last competitive year in the Verdigris Valley, the Bull- dogs made a clean sweep of the singles and doubles, Jesse Dalton winning the singles honors and, teaming with Bob Allred, copping the doubles. Again in the S. E. K. tourney Independence was not to be downed, and Jesse Dalton won the singles championship for us by defeating Hendershot of Columbus in the finals, 6-2, 6-1. To compete in the state meet each school must be a winner or runner-up in its respective regional meet. This, held at Pittsburg in our section, re- sulted in Jesse Dalton and Bob Allred both going to the finals in the singles, thereby qualifying for the state contest in Emporia. Dalton, previous year's winner, was favored to repeat, but an ElDorado entry beat him and went through to win the tourney. Allred did not fare so well and lost in an early round. This spring Independence has won three dual meets against Coffeyville, Caney, and Chanute. The S. E. K. meet was won by Jesse Dalton for the third consecutive year. Bob Allred and LeRoy Butler also won the doubles trophy. So, in view of these early season victories, much is expected of the Bull- dogs in forthcoming events. Golf Golf was introduced into the list of competitive sports in Independence high school in the spring of 1928. Interest in this sport has grown yearly, and the season of 1930 was more active and more successful than either of the pre- vious seasons. An intra-mural tournament was held, and Barton Blakeslee defeated Jack DeMott in the finals. Blakeslee was captain of the 1930 golf crew, and Jack .lack DeMott, Bill Emerson, and Bob Emerson alternated as his partner, since two representatives are allowed to compete in this sport. , In dual meets Independence golfers defeated Coffeyville and Caney and tied a match with Chanute. Independence was also represented in the S. E. K. tournament,at Parsons. Reports on the results of other matches are not obtainable, because, unfortunately, the season for golf hardly starts before school is out, and con- sequently few games can be played. But the plan for holding matches in the fall is under discussion, and something definite concering this may develop be- fore next year. ' 1950 Page' 101 TI-IE. ORANGE AND BLACK THE 1 CLUB ' Ton Ruw.

Smith, who has acted as the club sponsor till the present time. The purpose of the I club is to promote a feeling of fraternity among those who are sports-minded, and to further the interest of athletics among the boys of the school in general. Membership in the club is open only to those who have won letters in one of the five major sports-football, basketball, track, tennis, and golf. The membership for the year 1929-30 was twenty-nine, although several new mem- bers will be added with the close of track season. The initiations are one of the major feautres of the I club and are held behind closed doors. The duties of the club members are to assist new boys to get acquainted, to sell tickets for athletic contests, and to help in various ways at games and track meets. Officers of the club for the year 1929-30 were: presi- dent, Alfred Jelly Simpsong vice-president, Barton Blakesleeg secretary-treasurer, Erdon Avery.

Those who went out for this activity were fully as much interested in the game itself as in the additional points which they earned toward a letter. They found that it provides as much interest and real exercise as many games that are more active. The winning team this year is one that has had a remarkable record. Last year the team captured the championship when they were freshmen, and their record was without a defeat. This year, as sophomores, they have kept that same record and again won the championship. The team is captained by Ruth Wyckoff, and its membership includes the following: Treva Clifford, Ada Troutman, Jamesina Hunter, Vida Tomlinson, Vera Cole, Thelma Jones, Fern Pinell. Carrol Conner, and Grace Benjamin, This makes the fourth consecutive year that the team has maintained its unbroken record. Basketball This sport officially headed by Isabelle McColl, provided the usual amount of attraction and enjoyment for girls, and there were some good teams developed during the season. The inter-class championship was copped by the juniors this year, after a hard struggle. The winning team acquired a speed and skill at the game which rivals that shown in the boys' games. lllargarel. Stacy is captain of the team, and its personnel is as follows: Vipian Stacy, Mau- rine Kelly, Isabelle McColl, Leona Salisbury, Luzella Lyharger, and Wanda Beaver. H zkmg Several ambitious members of the G. A. A. have chosen hiking as a very enjoyable way of adding to their quota oi' points toward a letter. Leona Salis- bury was chosen as head of hiking and was very efficient in arranging hikes for the large number which was interested in this sport. The first hikes were short ones, which were increased each time. A two and one half mile hike to the Country Club was one of the first ones. The climax of the season was a ten mile hike to Cherryvale, which netted those who participated in it a very welcomf: twenty, five points. Hiking has the distinction of being one 01' the origins G.

'rx-in oamx e M A l i n AND BLACK Dancing One of the most popular phases of gym Work is the dancing class which is held twice weekly during the third hour as a special subject for those inter- ested. The class has an enrollment of about thirty-five and every member re- ceives a real benefit from the work. Miss Spradling proves a very capable and thorough instructor in the art, having taken much special work along that line in New York and in California. All those who have been in her class will testify to her thoroughness, as they are familiar with stiff muscles and lame joints after a good workout in the gym. Each day's work includes such varied phases as tap-dancing, bar Work, stretching exercises and walking and running exercises. No official head of the activity was elected this year, but all the girls worked hard and well under Miss Spradlings' direction. Tennis This year has again witnessed a successful tennis season for the girls. The tournament in the fall was of much interest to the large number of girls who came out, and the same enjoyment is seen in the tournament which is in progress as this goes to press. In the fall tournament, Pat Arnett defeated Frances Work in the singles, winning a tennis emblem for first place. In the doubles Pat Arnett and Isabelle McColl defeated Luzella, Lybarger and Maurine Kelly. The award for the spring tournament has not yet been decided upon, but the competition is expected to be keen. 1950 Page 106 if --IW Q f . if , , ,. . 9 ,li ' I' f 3 :fs F.-1 'ww 414' gn td AJ lllultmg-m C67ook0 l I- , , 1 . nz: .,!m1::snu:.-,, A - H lg1T1gggA-an f- RANGE rtailli-Q B ND 1-Ac so Freddie Wilhelm, while speeding :'lon1', hit a dog and had returned to settle his damage, if possible.
