More Write- ups have been added describing classes, student activities, op- eration of the school, and . Q other interesting fea- 5 Q, ' it i tures. Another new L L' ii feature of this volume is the l . N . 3 N X N U MSE student's individual dedication page. All of these changes have been ef- fected With the idea of making the book more appealing to the individ- ual student, to reflect in a truer sense the actual life of our school in it's every day program of instruction, activity, and recreational life. To pro- duce a yearbook so broad in its scope and to go uncriticized is an impos- sibility. We can only hope that the criticisms will be over- shadowed by the commen- dations.

The Board of Education Few students stop to think who hires their teachers, buys new and up- to-date equipment, adds to the library, and supervises the building and grounds. The Board of Education fulfills all these important details in functioning as one of the main divisions in the government of our city. Independence citizens give up their time to sefve this worthy cause which provides a splendid ed- ucation for every boy and girl in this vicinity. There are six members on the Board of Education, elected to serve a term of four years. Three of the members are elected every two years alter- nately. The ofiicers of the Board are: B. H. Woodman, presidentg W. O. Gray, vice-presidentg Florence Harper, clerkg and J. H. Clement, superintendent of the schools. The work of the board is divided into four committees, and those who serve on them are: Finance-C. M. Carman, W. O. Gray, and J. O. Fer- gusong Teachers-J. O. Ferguson, W. O. Gray, and Mrs. C. C. McCoyg Build- ings and grounds-W. J. Bovaird, C. M. Carman, and W. O. Grayg Library- Mrs. C. C. McCoy, J. H. Clement, and W. J. Bovaird. The board meets regularly once a month. This group watches with interest the school and its activities at home and away. They speak to the assemblies at the high schoolg they attend ath- letic functions, and they lend themselves and their cars for the purpose of taking high school students to neighboring towns for contests. Also they visit the schools and ascertain what is needed to make school life run smoother. Page 15 er ovxahoevemcn I95I Supt, J. H. Clement Our Superintendent J. H. Clement, our beloved superintendent, came to Independence from Junction City, Kansas, where he was superintendent of public schools there and has completed five years of entergetic work in the Independence schools. Three years ago he was elected vice-president of the Kansas State Teachers' Association and has been ever active in work of this nature. Last summer he completed with the help of a brother, Mr. J. A. Clement of Chicago, Illinois Cooperative Supervision in Grades Seven to Twelve, an educational book which will prove to be verybeneficial in future work. Mr. Clement has endeared himself in the hearts of every high school pupil in Independence through his untiring efforts to gain the friendship of everyone under his supervision. We have found him always eager and willing to make any pupil's problem his problem and he is always capable ofoffering a solution to the most baffling difficulty. He has always been active in all phases of school activities and has been a leading factor in making the schools Of Independence one of the best in the Southwest. Mr. Clement is a very capable man and it is an honor to have him at the helm of our schools, and it is a greater honor to have known him and to have studied under him. Independence has prided herself upon having at the head of her schools, men of ability, large education and men of whom she has been justly proud. Mr. Clements through his efforts in our schools, has placed him- self upon this honor roll of educational leaders and we are proud of having a man of his character at the head of our schools. Page 16 me GEQXNGEVBURCK ll Principal E. R. Stevens , Our Principal E. R. Stevens, popular principal, arrived in Independence iive years ago to take over the job of being principal of the high school and dean of the college, I He came to us from Leavenworth, where he had taken a very active part in state affairs of education. Since coming to our school he has been elected treasurer of the Kansas State Athletic association and held other offices equally prominent. If any student wishes to find out anything or is in need of something, our ,smiling principal is always ready and willing to help him. When any re- porter on The Student is badly in need of a story, Mr. Stevens is always full of the very latest news about school. His prominent work along educational lines has placed him as one of the most outstanding figures in school life in Kansas. He is well known all over the state. Since coming to I. H. S. he has built up a standard in both scholastic standings and school athletics. Under his guiding hand Independence has gained rapidly in both of the above. Mr. Stevens holds the utmost confidence and highest respect of the stu- dents from the wee, small freshman to the high and mighty senior, Mr. Stevens is willing and ready to help in any capacity that he is able. He, also, takes an active part in helping all activities of the school. We are very proud to have such a man with leadership, ability, and high standards of education at the head of our institution.

Inform us, please, just how we would carry on without our two issuers of pass-cards, Nana Sloan and Dorothy Dambacher. Besides giving pass-cards they perform innumerable other duties, both great and small. One of colossal proportions is to be patient, to grin and bear it, so to speak, when some foolish adventurer proffers a Himsy excuse explaining his absence. To these girls also goes the credit of publishing the bulletins each week. They help the timid freshman in choosing courses and subjectsg they prod on the sophomores, encourage the juniors, and aid the poor worried seniors in straightening the questions of credits. May we sum up all their good deeds and simply say that these girls untangle, to the best of their ability, the prob- lems of the students. The office force would not be complete without our good friends', vice- principals, Mr. S. A. Maust and E. J. Castillo. Besides their teaching, they find time to give any advice that the students may be seeking. And last but not least, we have Mr. E. R. Stevens, principal of Independence High. We all know that he needs no introduction, nor does he need flowery words proclaiming his many merits. We know how very essential Mr. Stevens is to our school and how impossible it would be to get along with- out him. 2, . Page 18 we QKANGEWMCK 0 SENIOR HIGH ASSEMBLY Assemblies The latter part of the week is looked forward to by the student body be- cause of the assemblies, which are always good. Thursday the junior high holds its chapel, and Friday the junior college and the senior high have their assemblies. These assemblies are made enjoyable by the hard work of the as- sembly committee, which is appointed at the first of each year for each class. The senior high committee is: Miss Brown, chairman, Miss Gustafson, Miss Stewart, Mr. Jacoby, Mr. Parker, and the senior class chapel representative, Jacq Cowles. The junior class representative, Helen Mae Six, and Ruth DeVore, the sophomore representative. The junior high committee is: Miss Daxon, chairman, Miss Todd, Miss Burns, Mrs. Cash, Miss Perry, and Miss Lane. During the football and basketball seasons, some of the assemblies are given over to the different organizations to prepare pep assemblies. In these We find the Bulldogs chewing up Coffeyville, or burning Neodesha or Chanute to a stake, and sometimes we persuade some of the alumni to tell the boys of the time when they were on the teams, of how some of these Cities had given them 3 severe beating. At other times we find some person who has been called upon to show us the more serious side of life. During these we find some who are Hboredi' to have to listen to a talk of this kind, but perhaps the greater per cent of us profited in some way by our fine assemblies, even if we only made a friend of the person who sat next to us. Page 19 lt oPXANoEveuRcK I95I Page 20 Miss Underhil1's Class Supervised Study The split-period system has worked quite favorably in our own high schools. So for the benelt of the reader, We should like to explain this method of study in operation. By the ringing of a bell in the middle of the customary hour period, the student realizes that the first half or reci- tation period is over and the last half-hour may be devoted to study. A great deal may be accomplished in a half hour of in- tense concentrated effort toward the next day's assignment. And, of course, the privilege of supervised study is duly appreciated by all conscientious, industrious students Cplanning to attend a movie the same evening.D The instructor is enabled, to a limited extent, to enjoy a few leisure moments, which undoubtedly are appreciated after the completion of a strenuous thirty minutes of eloquent, argu- mentative lecturing. , So permit the management to sanction its approval to this type of study. me QPQRNGEVBLACK li I-Qi-Y Girl Reserves Activity Period The student body looks forward to activity period because it breaks the monotony of the week's work. Occasionally there is no resting time during the five days of study, and spirits fall to Zero. Everyone groans with disappoint- ment and looks forward eagerly to the next recitation hour. Not every high school has the privilege of having such a period, Therefore, We should be thankful to our teachers for the time they spend in planning material which makes it possible to have those hours. Between the second and third hours, on Thursday, the junior high chapel is held. While it is in session, senior high school organizations hold schedule meetings. Friday morning during the same hour, the upper-classmen gather in the auditorium for their assembly, at which time, the junior high students go to their respective activities. There is a hustle and bustle to arrive on time at the meeting places: boys and girls are on the run most of the morning. Another good factor, in the student's eyes, is the shortened hours or the activity mornings. -wg v- ,V All students who do not belong to the organizations meeting are supposed to stay in their second hour class rooms till the bell rings, signifying the end of a long hour. Usually only a few are left in their classes, and they are given extra work to do or permitted to study on any material needed for following hours.

Bottom Row: Bloomer, Work, Hoopes, Jarrett fsponsorj, Mibeck, McCoy, Sparks. The National Honor Society No chain is stronger than its weakest link. Neither is any organization stronger than its several component parts, and especially those which are necessary for membership in the well known organization, the National Honor Society, with the four highest standards that can be obtained during a student's high school career. Even though they consider election to this society a great honor, stu- dents look upon it as a challenge to greater efforts in scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The first requirement for a student to be eligible for membership is scholarship. But that alone is not sufficient, so a student must prove himself or herself outstanding in service to the school and community, and outstanding in leadership. With these three requirements met, their character needs no questioning. The supposition is, therefore, as in the American Army, that every student's character is excellent unless he shows it to be otherwise. Remove any one of these requirements, and we find, indeed, a bare and uninviting skeleton. The success of this society has been due to the excellent supervision of Mr. Friley and faithful sponsorship of Miss Jarrett. ' One public initiation is held each year at special chapel, when gold pins bearing the National Honor Society emblem are presented to each new member. OHicers for 1930-'31 are: John Salathiel, president, John Clement, vice- president, Dowdal Davis, secretary, Viola Hoopes, treasurer. Page 22 we OKKNGEWBLKCK L INTERIOR OF CITY LIBRARY Public Library We, the students of the Independence high school, are greatly indebted to our public library facilities. We are indebted not alone because of its many volumes of books, but for its capacity to meet every requirement a student may necessitate in his school curriculum as well as his various outside activities. The library ranks as one of the highest institutions of its kind in reference work and intensive study. By spending one Monday evening at the library we are all convinced that it plays a big part in our lives. We are proud of that stately, ivy-covered building with its shiny brass doors, its well kept lawns, and its inviting warmth and friendliness. And we are proud of the service that the library affords us. Through the persistent efforts of the head-librarian, Miss Anna Gemmell, and her efiicient force, our debate and oratorical contestants in both I. H. S. and the Junior college are able to receive the best material obtainable. Miss Gemmell has been with us for the past twenty years and during this time has built up an institution of which any community might be justly proud, and it is needless to say that her constant interest is appreciated by ever student as well as the debate team and Coach F. N. Jacoby. We are proud of the friendly cooperation between faculty members, libraians and students, and feel sure that this cooperative spirit will con- tinue through the coming years. It is only with the library, faculty, and stu- dents working in harmony that the library can render its best service to the school. Page 23 ,.i 11 oPQsNcevsLtcK I95I Machine Shop Class Night Classes The night school, which is organized every year in the school program of the Independence high school, had a very fine attendance this year. These class- es are held for the purpose of offering to men and women, who are otherwise occupied in the daytime, the opportunity to attend the classes of instruction and to gain information which will aid them in their daily work. Five phases of work are offered. Two classes in machine shop practice were offered under the direction of Mr. Bowen. Both groups met two times a week during the hours of 7:30 to 9:30. The men who attended these classes found the work beneficial to their daily work. Another class for men was the class in blue print reading, under the direction of Mr. Parker. This class also met in the evening hours. A class in sewing was offered to all women and girls over the age of sixteen years. This class, which was taught by Miss Gray, met twice a week, also during the evening hours, and had a fine attendance. In cooperation with Mercy Hospital, classes in chemistry under Mr. Myers, and dietetics, Linder Miss Allen, were offered to the nurses in training at the hospital. It was possible for the night school to operate due to the Smith-Hughes law under the direction of the Board of Vocational Education at Topeka. Under this law, the salaries of the instructors are paid when the local Board of Ed- ucation furnish the necessary rooms and equipment for instruction.

The Class of 1931 The senior class of 1931 is small but mighty, having the shortest list of graduates in several years, however, this group is not lacking in many and various talents. This class has been notably represented this year, in that the queen of the spring show was selected from its numbers, and the most representative type of young lady of Independence high school was also chosen from the senior class to represent Independence at the Kansas relays at Lawrence. Two of its constituents have been members of the national high school orchestra and have won honors for themselves, as well as for I. H. S. The senior class has also been Well represented in the athletic activities of the school, winning the larger share of the honors in the inter-class track meet, as well as being successful in football, basketball and tennis. The masterpiece of the senior class was effectively displayed in that performance, the Junior Revels, which put even the eminent Florenz Ziegfield to shame. The Patsy , a three-act comedy is to be given by the dramatically in- clined seniors. The first president of the class was John Clement in the sophomore year. John Salathiel was president of the class of 1931, both this year and last year. The choosing of the senior rings caused quite 3 difference of opinion among the students and for several days the numbers three and six were the cause of much argument. Finally, the best ring won. It is the opinion of many that they are the best looking rings for several years. The colors of the class are green and silver. Page 26 il we OPQXNGEVBLJRCK 1.

The Class of 1932 The Green Dragon Emerald, with an all-star junior cast, which had been especially Well selected by Miss Anna Ingleman, who directed the play, Was the outstanding dramatic feature of the season. lt was a Chinese mystery play presented March 26 and 27. Bill Kandt and Eloise Grabham had the lead- ing parts, and they were ably supported by Merrell Clemmons, Merrill Clark, James Giddings, Ruth Wyckoff, Elizabeth Mills, Lois Woods, Herbert Wehry, Russell McNutt, Wilda Silger, and Ambrose Reddy. The setting was laid in China, the plot was built around the mysterious appearance and disappearance of the famous Green Dragon Emerald May Jong set. Each part was especially well playedg the settings were unique and colorful and the costumes appropriate. The annual Junior- Senior banquet, the other important junior event, was held at the Presbyterain Church on May 15. The banquet hall was tastefully and beautifully decorated to represent a moonlight scene in an old-fashioned garden. The walls Were covered with flower twined trellises, and silver moon and stars were used for the decoration motif. The tables were decorated in silver and blue, each having a silver moon as centerpiece. The two colors were carried throughout the decorations. Bill Kandt, junior president, acted as toastmaster, and John Salathiel, president of the senior class, Mr. Stevens, Mr. Clement, and Mr. Woodman responded With toasts. Entertainment included music by the Junior College orchestra, a clever skit, a reading, and a solo dance. In this way the banquet proved a fitting close for the year of 1930-1931.

It gives the student a place to go and be among friends Who are interested in the same things that he is. It gives the teacher, who is interested in a certain line of work, a chance to exercise some of his talent, and to help the student who is interested in it. The joint work of the students and teachers gives them a common interest to Work toward. It brings them closer to- gether in a more friendly attitude. Some of the clubs have social meetings, such as the Mother and Daughter banquets, and the Father and Son banquet. Here, in such meetings, the parents, teachers, and sponsors are brought into contact, with one another, thereby bettering the school activities. There are fourteen organizations in the senior and junior high schools,with their sponsors and a few who have charge of other activities, it includes almost every teacher in the two schools. The activities are: I Club, an athletic organization, Deane H. Smith, sponsor, Pep Club, Miss Zella Spradling, sponsor, Junior Pep Club, Miss Elva Hughes, sponsor, Blue Star Girl Reserves, Miss Tulloss, sponsor, Blue Triangle Girl Reserves, Miss Crocker and Miss McNiel, sponsors, Junior Hi-Y, L.

Page 55 eu OPQXNGEVBUXCK IQEI i w McNiel Underhill Crocker Brown The English Department English-grammar and literature, journalism, public speaking, and dramatics-are all important subjects included in the English department. There are nine regular English teachers in the junior and senior high school, but every teacher in the school curriculum teaches some form of grammar or English composition every day. Three years of English are required of any student graduating from Independence high school. The fourth year of English is optional and was first established two years ago. Thus far the fourth year classes have been small, but as English is probably the most necessary and important subject in school and in the outside world, the size of the classes is certain to increase. These four years of English include only grammar and literature. Journal- ism, dramatics, and public speaking are elective and are not included in an English course. Each year of English is divided into two parts, the first part of which deals with grammar and the second part of which deals with literature. The study of literature starts in the very beginning with the first manuscript and covers the history of literature up to the present time. The lives and works of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth, Keats, Burns, and many minor writers of older and present times are studied as extensively as possible. Grammar is the study of our English language, its origin, history, and the modern forms are studied carefully. Tulloss Murphy Inglemafl Page 5 6 me QKXNGEVBLKCK 1 w-. 1 i Hall Russell Self Todd The aim of every English course is to enable the student to: think clearly, logically, and as much aspossible independentlyg express himself ac- curately, avoiding localism, excess slang, barbarism, violations of grammatical rules, distinguish between the inaccurate, the merely accurate, and the master- ful sentences, give directions accurately, impart material, present it in usuable outlined form for written or oral work, explain simple process and objects logically and intelligiblyg perform simple commercial duties, making business like office reports, and greeting persons tactfully an d efficiently. In oral composition English is used by the student to: tell stories to a group, carry on an intelligent conversation, recite accurately, pertinently, and courteouslyg pronounce and articulate with habitual accuracy. Written composition is to enable the student to: spell correctly, observe rules for mechanical correctness in theme-writing, write business letters, consult re- liable sources of information. Journalism deals with written composition. Careful choosing of words is required in writing journalistic articles. Naturally a larger vocabulary is acquired after a year's study in news writing, accuracy in details and a skill in conversation, along with courtesy, is required for interviewing. Dramatics and public speaking transform writing into speech and action. Ease and grace of speech are taught, as well as, intelligent stating of facts. This part of the department covers in detail oral composition. Page 57 OPQXNGEWBLACK 195: ORANGE AND BLACK STAFF Top Row: Haas, Stewart, Clement, Davis. Bottom Row: Baker, Johnson, Hurd. The Orange and Black The Orange and Black has become such an eagerly awaited feature of the school year, that a word concerning those people who are responsible for its appearance would not be out of place. The sponsor of the book was Mr. M. F. Reppert, who was directly re- sponsible for the publication of this volume. Mr. H. C. Brown aided materially with the kodak section and the copy-reading. Miss Katharyn DeLury had charge of the junior high section, while Miss Old supervised the art work. Miss Stewart saw to it that typing of copy was accomplished and jokes selected. The staff, who Worked under the supervision of the sponsors, was as follows: editor-in-chief, Dick Murrow, who worked with Mr. Reppert and saw to it that write-ups came in on timeg associate editors, Alice Kilham and Gladys Hurd, who wrote stories about the different departments, business managers, Howard Hudiburg and Nobel Brighton, who had charge of the ad- vertising and group pictures, kodak editors, Jacq Cowles and Louise Baker, who made the snap-shot pages, boys' and girls' sport editors, Mayer Haas, Page 58 me opxmeevsmck in ORANGE AND BLACK STAFF Top Row: Hudiburg, Brighton, Ferguson, Murrow.

' ' We are greatly indebted to the untiring enthusiasm and effort of Mr. Reppert, for without his guidance, this volume would probably never appear. He not only drew up plans and specifications for the book, but also supervised its printing and binding, which was done by the printing students, The Orange and Black is a written account of both unusual and every- day activities and events in our school life. It is our hope that it finds favor with the students. Page 59 TT opqkhofvsuxcr IQSI v Top Row, Left to Right: Campbell, Waxse, Revelet, Meadows, McGugin, Thompson.

The Independence Student One of the busiest places in Independence high school-at least, on publication day-is Room 103, the stronghold of The Independence Student. Here is published the weekly paper, which records the ambitions and accom- plishments of more than 1200 students and teachers. The Student is the product of the high school journalism class, assisted by the junior college class in reporting, and all the work is done by them. Each Week the news staff assigns stories, gathers in the news, writes editorials and features, reads copy and proof, and writes headlinesg while the business staff, at the same time, is busy soliciting advertisements and collect- ing bills. Members of the staff usually are appointed by the instructor on the the basis of merit and ability, but the entire staff is changed four times a year in order to give more students an opportunity to learn the duties of dif- Page 60 H' H115 OPQXNGEWBLACK 3 We X :Li xii K 4 ig , A Top Row, Left to Right: DeMotte, Burns, Hudiburg, Salathiel, Dancer, Hough.

This year a new plan was successfully put in operation: for several weeks during the second semester a new editor and associate editor were elected each Wednesday to take over responsibility for the next issue of the paper. The Independence Student , which was first published in 1922, has be- come one of the leading high school papers in the state. It is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association and also holds a chapter in Quill and Scroll , the National Honorary Society for High School Journalists, although no chapter has yet been organized here. Credit for success of The Student is gratefully shared with the printing department, which handles all composition and presswork and always cooperates with the journalistsg the teachers, who are the chief sources of newsg and local merchants who support the paper with their advertising. Page 61 FJ QPXANGEWBLACK 1951 AFFIRMATIVE DEBATE TEAM Salathiel Kandt Affirmative Debate History The outstanding record in debate this year was made by the affirmative team. This team was composed of Benjamin Salathiel, a senior, and Bill Kandt, a junior. The record of the debates stands as follows: Independence wins from Fort Scott. Independence wins from Chanute. Independence wins from Coifeyville. Independence lost to Parsons. The subject for debate was, Chain stores are detrimental to the best interests of the Americanppublicf' The affirmative had the more difiicult task of the two teams this year according to the wording of the question, because it was impossible to build up a case to prove chain stores detrimental without using fluke argument, speaking strictly in debator's terms. In other words, it was a case of--may the best liar win-fortunately I. H. S. could produce the goods with all due respect to the said candidates, who in private life are act- ually not pervaricators. Mr. Jacoby, the debate coach, has been coaching teams four years and his teams have always done admirably as a result of his practically unceasing labor during the season. Ben Salathiel was the only seasoned or experienced de- bator this year, however, which handicapped I. H. S. from the beginning. .Page 62 we OPQNNGEVBLACK It NEGATIVE DEBATE TEAM Murrow Work N egatirve Debate History The negative debate team, consisting of Dick Murrow and Frances Work, was almost as successful as the ailirmative. The negative won two out of four league debates. The standing of this team at the end of the season was as follows: Independence won from Columbus. Independence lost to Iola. Independence lost to Pittsburg. Independence won from Coffeyville. Both debaters were inexperienced, this being their first year of debating. Mr. Jacoby, debate coach, had a green bunch this year with which to work and select his teams, this proved a serious handicap, at the first of the year, particularly. Considering that fact, however, the teams did well to finish fourth in the league standing'this year, and they may well be proud of their position, as they finished only three points below Fort Scott, who won first in the Southeastern Kansas league. 1 Debate is regarded as one of our most useful subjects because it teaches the student to thinli on his feet before audiences, and to become ac- customed to speaking before the public.

Herbert Wehry The source of the play, The Green Dragon Emerald, is suggested by an old Chinese legend. According to the legend, an ancient Manchu Emperor, learning of his wife's unfaithfulness, ordered a Mah Jong set made with the Green Dragon tile hollow. In the hollow tile he placed a beautiful emerald, poisoned with an instantly deadly poison, and then invited his wife to a game of Mah Jong. Allowing her to win, he presented her with the jewel, thus causing her instant death. Shortly thereafter the Mah Jong set disappeared and the Wraith of the Unfaithful Wife returned to haunt the Palaceg often bringing the Mah Jong set and bringing death to anyone she forced to take the Green Dragon tile for a third time. The play was given two evenings, March 26 and27 to very appreciative audiences. It was surely a great success! We certainly congratulate the Junior class, the sponsors, and all the teachers who helped make it a success. Page 65 ff KANGEVBLACK 1951 Hall V Smith Cash The Social Science Department The social sciences offered by I. H. S. include American History, Con- stitution, Modern History, and Economics. The first two of this group are re- quired of all high school seniors, and the last two are elective in grades 10, 11, and 12. About 50 per cent of all graduates have credits in one or both of the elective social studies. The American History classes are made up of seniors. Here they get their final secondary school impressions of our pioneering forefathers. These classes competed in an all-pupil contest with other American History classes in Kansas and forty-five other states of the union. The class medium ranked well above the medium of neighboring schools and also above that of the United States. Each year two of the American History students represent I. H. S. in the Emporia Scholarship contest. These contests stimulate interest and activity to a very worth while subject. Miss Lake has charge of all American History classes. Constitution is a required subject of all seniors. The makers of our constitution added little humor to their masterpiece, hence the course offers plenty of difliculty for many. It is the duty of Mr. Jacoby to direct the thinking of the group that try to make out what our forefathers had in mind when they framed the constitution and its amendments. This group also competes in the all pupil scholarship contest: and although the subject is extremely diflicult for many, the median for the class was well above that of neighboring schools and also above that of the United States.

Prather and Maust. This course is elective but 'many seek it as an escape from what they consider more difficult courses. This subject exposes the pupil to the political growth and development of foreign countries. The impressions which the pupil receives in this study should have somewhat of a broadening effect since the pupil is brought in contact with the customsjtraditions, and environments of people of a great number of races and climes. Economics offers the pupil a foundation for further study of economics and business courses as well as a general introduction to the business world. This is the only one semester course offered in the social science group. Each year about 50 pupils imbibe of the fruit from this tree of knowledge. Mr. Maust directs the activities of those who enter there. Vocational guidance in 9, limited degree is one phase of the course. Each pupil is required to decide upon some vocation which he or she will follow, and then find information on that voca- tion. The information is filed in a project book which the pupil keeps. The International Relations Club has recently been organized to study the customs, traditions, governments and contributions of our foreign neighbors. Pupils in this club are encouraged to correspond with people of their own age and sex in some foreign country. Henry Rendaudin, a native Frenchman, addressed the club at its first meetingg and Hans Herrod, a native of Germany, spoke at the second meeting. Page 67 H OPXtxNCiEvbLi'xCK 4951 Daggett DeLury Bevan Why We Study Mathematics? We all take up the study of mathematics in some form during the period of our lives which we spend in school. Why do we? Many ask the question. First, we study mathematics because it is one of the group of subjects that is linked with a large number of the branches of civilized knowledge. None of us would be happy if we did not know something of the history of the human race, something of the earth on which we exist, something of letters of arts, and, as we might say, something of the quantitative side of human life. Who today can doubt the necessity, of the study of mathematics? Fifty years ago a person could have asked the question and no comment would have been created. But todayg in the everyday life of every person living in any civilized country, one sees the need for a workable knowledge in mathe- matics in some form. Articles in modern magazines, in encylopedias, even articles written for young people require the knowledge of mathematics to be fully understood. Everyone must know the shorthand of a formula, the mean- ing of a simple graph, of a negative number, of a simple equation, or else he feels the stigma of ignorance of the common things that the educated world talks about and reads about. To those who are skeptical as to the important reach of mathematics, let us reason for a moment thus-next to the propagation of the race, the most important thing in this world in which we live is education. We all agree to that. Now look at the science of education as a form of measurement. Let us suppose that some night all knowledge of mathematics in all forms would be wiped from the earth. What would happen? Mines would shut down, not a rivet would be driven in a skyscraper, every ship on the seas would be hope- Daxon Cates Page 68 H115 ogkhcevedxck it Perry Prather Plank lessly lost, Wall Street would close its portals, the engineering world would die, in fact, we can name thousands of things that would befall our earth, some good things perhaps-war would be anihilated. Thus we see that it is really necessary for everyone to have a workable knowledge of the subject that has such a great bearing on civilization. Let us look at the question from a boy's viewpoint. Practically all forms of life work which a young man enters requires the knowledge of mathematics. All forms of engineering, architecture, mechanics, even work in offices re- quire it directlyg all business men must be well read, able to discuss modern inventions, modern topic, and surely a knowledge of mathematics is virtually necessary. So we see that to-day it is practically an absolute necessity for the young man starting out on his life work to be a student, if not a master, of mathematics: and this we know can be attained only by dilligent study. What of the girls and young women of today? At the present time, more than ever before, women are rising to greater heights in the business world. A large number of women prepare themselves to be teachers. To these women of the business world we see that the study and knowledge of math- ematics is just as important as it is for the business man. The girls who do not plan for a business career surely plan to stand high in social and intil- lectual circles in later life, and what is more necessary to the well read woman than the understanding of modern topics which the knowledge of mathematics brings. So it becomes very clear to us that the knowledge of mathematics is vitally important to us all in modern times. Knowledge in such channels is obtained only by diligent study. Let us think of these things the next time we ask ourselves, 'fWhy do we study mathematics ? Page 69 orkwcevsrixcr IQSI Cawthon Castillo Physics and Chemistry Labs The chemistry and physics laboratories are recognized by those stu- dents who have taken these sciences as invaluable places in which some of the mysteries of these subjects are visually explained. Here, closely interwoven, are the phenomena and technique of science, and here perhaps another Ein- stien may develop. Some of the most pleasant memories to be reflected upon will be the first time we spilled a few drops of nitric acid on the bare Hesh. Then the genial professor enwrapped us with his never failing care, warning us to be more careful hereafter. Whether it serves as a place for earnest and desperate study or for the medium to compound a new hair tonic, the facilities of the laboratory are in- valuable to all science students. Throughout the school year the physical and chemical principles which we see in our daily lives are stressed rather than the subtleties of molecular physics and complex formulae. Experience has shown that students derive great satisfaction from detecting about them, instinctively and habitually, applications of a science which they have studied. Accordingly, in Independ- ence high school the right conditions have so prevailed that physics and chem- istry have become among the most popular subjects in the curriculum. , ,,, W, Page 70 we onxnofverixck no Brown Gustafson Wahl The Foreign Language Department The Independence high school offers in its language department French, Spanish, and Latin. In both French and Spanish a two year course is obtain- able, the second year beingmore extensive study of grammar and the reading of novels and plays. A four year course in Latin: Elementary Latin, Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil. Research has proved that the largest per cent of the English words come directly from the French. French is spoken more frequently among the cultured classes than any other languages and it is likewise important because of the contribution which it has made to the development of science in the world. By a knowledge of French one is able to have a better understanding of literature, both French and Englishg French history, civilization, music, art, and architec- ture. While French is generally considered as the Universal language, the study of Spanish is increasing because the rapid growth of opportunity in every line in Spanish America demands more and more the study of the language, culture and modes of thought of its peoples. Latin is PAR EXCELLENCE the language of the learned, since from or through it have come mainly the found- ations of modern thought, language, and institutions. Under the supervision of Miss Gustafson, the Spanish students sang Christmas carols to the people of the Mexican settlement. A one act farce was also presented by the students. Page 71 P- QPXANGEVEMQK 1951 Goepfert Reid Baird Why We Teach Music Why do We have music as a part of our school curriculum? Many people ask this question. Many reasons are evident. We all know that higher social culture demands a knowledge and appreciation of good music, as taught in our schools today. Not all of the students in the school study music, of course, but through those Who do, all are influenced. Concerts and programs, offered in public as well as school chapel, bring the entire student body closer to an un- derstanding and better appreciation of music. Many students plan to make music their life Work, and if it were not taught in our school many of these would find it impossible to carry on their study in this lineg nor would they be able to obtain the valuable cooperation that comes from playing in a high school orchestra or band or singing in a high school glee club. Schools are ranked, more or less, by the kind of music department they leave. Would it not mark a school as incomplete if no music Were taught? It certainly Would, in the estimation of surrounding schools as Well as the public. The various musical organizations of the school enter music contests in com- petition With other schools and when they win a high standing they bring as much honor to the school as the scholastic and athletic organizations do. Surely these reasons make it clear that the musical departments in our schools are as important as any other and that the teaching of music is as important as any other thing offered in the curriculum.

This group of boys has sung for several public concerts and has participated in a number of chapel programs. The organization also competed in the music contests at Southwestern college, Winfield, and at Kansas State Teachers college, Pittsburg, performing with almost professional skill. Careful selection of voices by the director brought forth the colorful blend for which the club is noted. Experts have also commended the club on its interpretation of the numbers used. The boys, glee club is composed of forty-one mem-bers, and is not only one of the largest, but one of the best trained groups of high school vocalists in the state. Their success is due largely to the untiring and ever-willing efforts of Miss Reid, Miss Wilma Mibeck, accompanist, also deserves no little credit for the well-doing of the club.

The girls competed in both the Winfield and Pittsburg music contests, and received many fine compliments for their work. They also furnished entertainment in the Way of musical selections for many assembly programs, the graduation exercises, and other concerts and school events. Several concerts were given in which the club participated, and they received a great many commendations for their efforts. This group, together with the boys' glee club, formed our mixed chorus which represented us in many contests and musical events. From the members of this club were chosen the girls' quartet-a group that always meets with favor with the student body. The glee clubs were most fortunate in having Wilma Mibeck as their accompanist. This is by no means a small job, and Wilma handled it in a fine manner. In the contest at Pittsburg, she won first place among the accompan- ists. T T l J 4115? Many of the club members will be graduated this year, but new songsters are planning on entering, so that another organization is planned for next year to uphold the music department of our school, Page 75 H orgRNoEveL?xcK I95l THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Personnel of Orchestra Bob.

Old The A rt Department The art department this year was under the supervision of Miss Lota Old, one of our new teachers. Replacing Miss Dikeman, Miss Old immediately found a place in the hearts of the student body. Under her guidance the art department continued its position as a useful and integral part of the school program. Many projects were entered upon and carried through during the year. Last fall the dephartment was instrumental in making posters for various activ- ities., Early this spring it sponsored an art exhibit, .showing about 150 famous paintings. With the money that was taken in, reproductions of famous paint- ings were bought for the purpose of beautifying the halls and classrooms of of' our school. This annual art exhibit has resulted in our buildings' being brightened by the addition of twenty-five pictures, during the past four years. The department held an art exhibit this spring, showing the work of the various students. Much interest was shown by the parents in this exhibit. Due to a shortage of time in which to prepare, we did not enter the Emporia art contest this year as is usually done. Instead, most of our efforts were turned toward preparation for our school exhibit. Some of the class pojects that were undertaken were: poster making, Some of the class projects that were undertaken were: poster making, craft, enamel wall panels, batik and crayon panels, Christmas cards by means of linoleum block printing, charcoal drawing, and landscapes in oil. gy!

Daubers Club The objects of this club, which was formed in 1928 by members of the art classes, are to promote interest in art and to extend appreciation of art. This year the Daubers sponsored the Art Exhibit which consisted of many fine reproductions for the benefit of the faculty and students as Well as the general public. The proceeds were used to purchase those pictures which were chosen to odorn the halls and rooms of I. H. S. Bi-Weekly meetings are held in the art room during activity period. The predemittating projects under taken by the members consist of oil paintings. leather work, placques, silhouettes and various others. Miss Old, the art instructor, is the sponsorg Bob Strawn, presidentg and Verne Knight, secretary-treasurer. The members of the club are those Who are in the art classes and anyone outside who is especially interested. The pins are the same as those last year. They are palettes with the letters D, C and the primary colors on them. This spring the club plans several field trips to take up out-door sketching. Page 79 1 opgxmoiiveitxck I95I Robinson Jarrett Stewart C015 Uommeiical Department The commercial department is one of the most extensive departments in the high school. The subjects included in this course are: typewriting, short- hand, office training, bookkeeping, business arithmetic, industrial geography, commercial law and penmanship. To be graduated from the high school in this course, one must have the general requirements of any course and a major and electives included in all the subjects in this group of subjects. Two years of typewriting, shorthand, and bookkeeping are given, While only one year of office training is possible. These are the main subjects of the commercial course. Typewriting is based in accuracy and speed. It enables the student to write rapidly and neatly. The minimum speed for credit is thirty words a minute for the first year and fifty words a minute the second year. Typewriting deals with copyreading, letter Writing, and any material that needs to be learned to make accurate and speedy typists.Shorthand is one of the most useful subjects in any business and the great value of it need not be told. It includes sentence Writing, letter writing, translation, drill pratice, taking dictation, and being able to put what you have Written in shorthand back into English. The minimum speed for credit is sixty words a minute for the first year and one hundred words a minute the second year. Bookkeeping enables the student to keep any set of books in any kind of a business firm. It also shows the student how to meet business on any scale. In office training one is trained in filing letters, Writing telegrams and all other things needed in an office. T' ese are the most outstanding subject in the course, although business arithmetic, industrial geography, commercial law, and penmanship prove very helpful.

Greene Gray Morrison Allen Household Arts Department The Household Arts department is very important, because every girl who graduates from high school has had one year of that course in the form of cooking. Many girls also take a year or more of sewing, beside the study of foods. The health of posterity depends on the knowledge learned in those spic and span rooms. The art of making smart wearing apparel is taught there both winter and summer. Miss Anna Allen is head of the Household Arts department, three as- sociate teachers working with her. She teaches cooking during the winter and sewing during the summer. Also, she supervises the running of the cafeteria. One section of the third floor in the junior high school building is given to the use of this department. There are five large rooms, amply equipped for sew- ing and cooking, classes, where equipping, running, and care of the home are taught in an extensive and detailed fashion. Nearly every summer, classes are offered in sewing for eight weeks, which give any pupil a chance for valuable instruction. Assistance is always given, by the Household Arts department, to any organization or class in high school wishing information and help in planning and serving banquets, refreshments, and teas. Page 81 H OKtXNGEvl5LtXCK IQQSI Heckethorn Friley Bowen Industrial Arts Department The Independence high school has a mechanical arts department that can well be boasted of. The department includes well equipped machine, print- ing, and two combined manual training shops. The mechanical drawing shop also comes under this head. During the summer months the two manuals were combined into one. This gives us shops which are among the best equipped and arranged in in this section of the state. At the head of these shops we have Mr. Friley, as instructorg and Mr. Heckethorn as instructor for the boys of the first and second years. p ggsjgj The machine shop also underwent an improvement last summer. The shop was practically all rearranged with many new machines added to the already large list. As instructor we have Mr. Bowen, who is a capital instructor in the mechanical arts line. Page sz THE OKANGEVBLVRCK 31 RCl?IJ61't Parker The printing room is well equipped with up-to-date printing needs. Here, with the combining of the journalism classes, anyone can secure a thorough knowledge of newspaper work. The last and probably one of the most important of these shops is the mechanical drawing shop. Here we find Mr. Parker as instructor, and equipment of high grade drawing implements, desks and boards. It was here that blue prints for the new night track field were drawn and made. Combining all the shops we have a very efficient department. Plans being made in the drawing room can be made with the use of the manual and machine shops. The printing shop puts out our weekly Student and the Orange and Black year book. Page 83 H GPQNNGEVBLKCK I95I Smith Hughes Spradling LOSQY Aims of Physical Education The first and most important aim of physical education in the school is to build a good, all-around development of the body of the individual, which is necessary to insure good health, make it possible for the brain to function to its fullest extent, and furnish a clean, well-kept abode in which the soul may live and expand to the utmost. It is not a new idea that there are values and benefits received from physical education in some form. We can look back to the Bible times and see many noted characters as representations of strong bodies and minds: John the Baptist, Daniel, the Hebrew tribes, Samson, and many others whose physical being was such that they were able to accomplish their tasks during times of hardship, suffering, and trial. And so from those times on through the centuries to the age of Greece and Rome with their games and sports, to the present there are innumerable examples showing the advantages derived from physical training. Our big business men, industrial leaders, social workers, and presidents of the present era are staunch advocates of the necessity of well-developed bodies. We all know the part that physical ex- ercise had in the life of Theo. Roosevelt-just one of many identical instances. Our health depends upon good muscles. The muscle cells are de- veloped before .the heart, lungs, and other organs can function properly. The proper development of these muscles is attained by correct exercise and play that is received in the physical education department. A person with good, S as Page 84 we oPQxNeEveL?xcK 973 T A strong muscles is sure to have the good vital organs so essential in a healthy body. If it were not for a healthy body the brain could not exist. It could not live without the blood and food supplied by the body, and this replenishment can come only from a wholesome body. We may compare this relationship of mind and body to results obtained by a man who works in a clean, pleasant shop, or place of business, or inadequate, unhealthful surrondings. With the proper environments and ample tools and materials he is fitted and prepared for his work, while if he is handicapped by poor facilities he cannot progress to his fullest extent. And so it is With the brain, if it can acquire a rich abundance of blood and food ond be within the environments of a healthy body, it can func- tion to its fullest extent. In turn, the mind furnishes the means for the ap- propriate use and actions of the muscles. Mind and body are inseparable, one Without the other is useless. Then there is the contribution made by play and recreation to the de- velopment of the character of the individual. We might list clean living, self- discipline, cooperation, democracy of sport, and focusing of competitive effort as useful qualities received from physical education that are beneiicial in the development of character. Clean living is just a plain, old-fashioned thing but no estimate can be placed upon the good . that is gained. Self- discipline teaches the individual that before he can master the game or problem at hand that he must master himself. If the spirit of cooperation is practiced in games and sport, it can be applied to a great advantage in other places later. In the democracy of sport We find that all other relationships except those pertaining to that particular game are suspended and the individual uses only the ability which he himself posesses.

CABINET Lybarger, Kelly, Wyckoff Miller, Miss Spradling, Hockett The Girls' Athletic Association In 1926 the Girls' Athletic association was organized in the Independence high school under the supervision of Miss Zella Spradling, and this organization has lately joined the state association. The Kansas State High School Girls' Athletic association is a department of K.S.H.S.A.A. and was organized for the purpose of offering a standard program for intra-mural athletics for girls. By means of this program, every school can offer to every girl student an oDDor- tunity to engage in physical education and athletic activities, earn letters and other local and state awards, and yet not have to try out for a school team in order to get an opportunity to play. Each week after school on certain designated evenings, the girls par- ticipate in such games as basketball, volleyball, tennis, swimming, baseball, tumbling, soccer, and dancing. Points are given for each of these sports and also for those activities held outside of school: bicycling, hiking, horse shoe pitching, ice skating, bowling, and archery. In each phase of these sports, points are presented to those showing leadership among their school fellows, perseverance in making the various teams, and loyalty in attending the practice, An accumulation of 2,000 points is a normal amount for four years work. Four awards are offerredg 600 points wins the first award, an additional 600 the second, 400 more for the third, and another 400 for the final award. The members of the cabinet are: Carlma Hockett, Maurine Kelly, Luzella Lybarger, Ruth Wyckoff, and Dorothy Miller.

The Senior High Pep Club The senior high pep club was organized in '27 by Miss Zella Spradling, the girls' gym instructor. The constitution of the club was revised last year, a clause was inserted which allowed from 25 to 30 members. This year 27 girls, including the cheer leaders, were active members. This organization was organized primarily to create enthusiasm, better known as 'tpep , among the students for athletics. The girls selected by the old members, members of one or more year's standing, must have personality, pep, a well-defined standard of conduct, and make passing grades in all subjects. Pep club members have given marching drills and chapel programs througout the years to keep up the good old school spirit, in a more lively fashion. Through the efforts of the members, two outstanding social func- tions, tea rooms, after the basketball games have been sponsored. The A Capella Choir was brought here in April by the combined resources of the Hi-Y and Pep club. The officers of the organization are: Frances Work, presidentg and Alice Kilham, secretary-treasurer.

The club was or- ganized seven years ago by Deane H. Smith, who is the club sponsor at the present time. Membership to the club is gained by earning one of the coveted Ps in one of the five major sports-football, basketball, track, tennis, and golf-then by taking, what is known as the toughest initiations of the school which is featured by the I club paddles. The purpose of the club is to promote a feeling of friendship among the boys of the school, to help new boys to become acquainted, to sell tickets to the athletic contests, and to promote a feeling of fellowship in those who are at- tending the school and are competing in athletics. The club meets every other week and in each meeting a committee is ap- pointed to prepare a program for the coming meeting. In this way each boy has a chance to put whatever he wants on the program. At the beginning of the year a meeting is called to elect the offices for that year. This year the officers are: Ben Salathiel, president, Russell Brooks, vice-president, and John Clemene, treasurer. The membership of the club is now nineteen, but by the end of the track season it will probably be increased to twenty-five.

The Senior High Girl Reserves The Girl Reserves have proved to be a Very lively and enthusiastic or- ganization this year, due largely to the able direction of the sponsors, Misses Gray, Murphy, and Morrison. The Girl Reserves have met every two Weeks, and their programs have been centered around the theme, The Voyagejl the crew being composed of the president of the club as captain, and the cabinet members as the mates. This was the program which was accepted by the organization upon recommendation by the cabinet, which held a week-end camp at Camp Moodyroth at the begin- ning of the school year. The first activity the organization undertook was a Recognition and Vesper Service for its new members which was held in the early fall. During the year the organization had a Mother Goose party, entertained the Hi-Y with a Halloween party, and together with the Hi-Y gave a carnival in which much enthusiasm was shown in choosing a queen. The Junior nominee, Eloise Grab- ham, was elected. A bazaar was held at Christmas as a means of raising money for the club. A Mother-Daughter Banquet was given with the help of the the Y. W. C. A. The Girl Reserves worked on Various projects of civil service. At Thanksgiving three baskets were prepared and sent to the needy. At Christ- mas gifts were sent to the children at the Mexican settlement, and the girls assisted in selling tuberculosis seals. Paper dolls were cut for shut-in child- ren, and funny papers and magazines were collected for the Red Cross. Fourteen members and three sponsors attended the Tri-state conference at Pawhuska. Six delegates were sent for a two-weeks' instruction at Camp Wood.

Senior H i-Y The senior Hi-Y started the school year by operating a book exchange for the junior and senior high schools. To help boost the athletics of the school they sold pencils during football and basketball season with the athletic schedule printed on them. The Hi-Y club, with co-operation of the Girl Reserves, held a carnival in the basement of Nees hall. The main event was the election of a school queen. The club Was the host to about fourlhundred Hi-Y members who were here for the Southeast Kansas Sectional Hi-Y Conference, held on December 13, 14, and 15. Every local Hi-Y member attended this conference. On April 16, they presented Hoots and Quacks , in two matinee programs. ..., , , .This spring again they awarded medals to the Winners of the various events in thelrinter-class trackmeef. The Independence Hi-Y clubs are building a cabin at Camp Wood, the Kansas State Hi-Y Camp. All of the material is being furnished by the local clubs, and it will become property of the camp. During the year the club had several social activities which helped to keep up interest in the club. It also had college golf and tennis tournaments. The officers for the coming year are: Russell Baker, presidentg John Deere, vice-president, Russell McNutt, secretary, and Chester Burns, Treasurer. The purpose of Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian living. lt is in reality a real, live, vital organization in our school.

The International Club The International Club was first instituted in the senior high school, in February, 1931, under the direction of Mr. Maust. The charter members numbered 30, but the membership has grown constantly since the first meeting of the club. Anyone who is interested in international affairs is eligible to become a member, but those who wish to become members must first prepare a report, which the club assigns, and give the report orally to the club. After the pro- spective member has given his report, the members of the club indicate their approval or disapproval by Written ballot. If the first report is unsatisfactory, the prospective member may prepare another and try his luck again. There is one exception to this rule. Members of the honor society automatically become members if they Wish without any initiation. AThe purpose of the club is to create a better understanding of people of other countries, and to develop toward them a spirit of tolerance and good-will. This, and other similar clubs throughout the country, is directed by the school and is exclusively for high school students. The club elected for its officers: Isadore Waxse, presidentg Cyrus Wade, vice-presidentg Herbert Wehry, secretary, and Ben Salathiel, reporter. To make the activities of the club a bit more personal, each member is encouraged to correspond with someone of about his own age and sex in some foreign country. Each individual is also assigned some country to study specifically. At each roll call the president calls the names of the assigned countries and each member responds with some fact about his country in response to roll call. The programs of the club have been enriched by citizens of Independence who have lived or traveled abroad. These individuals have recounted their experiences to the class in story form and by moving pictures.

Athletics ln athletics and sportsmanship Independence has always ranked among the foremost. The character of our high school athletics makes them an object to which we can point with pride. Independence is indeed fortunate to have as head of the athletic de- partment Mr. L. E. Losey and to have Mr. D. H. Smith as head coach. Under the able direction of these men the sportsmanship of the famous Bulldogs has never been in doubt. The Bulldogs captured their second straight football title thisyear, and the school received many compliments on the line spirit of the team. This goes further to prove the fine character of our coach. Part of this fine spirit is due to the enthusiasm of the Whole student body. Excitement always ran high before and after every game. The Pep Club and cheer leaders lead this group, and to them much credit is due. At the home games the stands were usually packed, and a fair showing was made at the games away from home. The success of the teams of I. H. S. are due mostly to the ability of Coach Smith to impart a fighting spirit into his teams, but in his unassuming way he tells us that his winning teams are due to the efficiency of his players or to breaks The fighting Bulldogs have the reputation of being one of the strongest teams in the league in any sport. The team carries this fighting spirit from the starting whistle to the final gun, and can never be accused of laying down when it is whipped. As has already been stated, Independence always ranks high in athletics and this year was not an exception. We won our second straight foot- ball title, tying with Pittsburgg and after finishing in basketball, and in track we must regard our 1930-31 sports season a tremendous success.

The Basketball Season After losing to Ottawa and winning from Altoona in pre-season games, the Bulldogs began the scheduled play with a home game against Neodesha. 1. H. S. won, 29 to 16. The first league game was with Pittsburg, there. The game was played on even terms the last half, but a nine-point handicap was too much to over- come, Pittsburg winning 20 to 12. . Parsons was next. Handicapped, somewhat, by the size of the court, the Orange and Black machine did not click until the closing minutes of play. Parsons won 23 to 16. Fort Scott got away to an early lead in the second home game, but Inde- pendence held the upper hand when the Iinal gun sounded by a count of 27 to 21. The Columbus Titans handed the Bulldogs their third defeat, the score being 46 to 20. In the dedication game of Coffeyville's Heldhouse, Independence won its third victory of the season, 26 to 15. Next Independence defeated Chanute 25 to 20, giving their poorest ex- hibition of the season. The exhibition of teamwork against Fredonia was the best that was given during the entire schedule. The score favored the Bulldogs 23 to 20. It was a case of too much sharpshooting by Sharp, Iola s ace, that spelled defeat for Independence on the Mustangs' court, by a 33 to 23 count. One of the biggest upsets of the season for either team was Neodesha's victory over Independence in their second meeting. Neodesha came out ahead 31 to 20. In the last home game, Coifeyville scored its first victory over Indepen- dence in any sport in three years, the overtime decision was 28 to 24. In the district tournament at Neodesha, Independence was eliminated in the first round by Yates Center 31 to 20. Page 99 11 oameevsukcr ue: Tennis The 1929-30 season was one of the most successful for an I. H. S. tennis team. The team, Dalton, Butler, Allred, and Clement, won dual meets from Chanute, Caney, Coifeyville, and Columbus. Dalton and Allred played the singles matches and Butler and Clement competed in the doubles. In the S. E. K. tennis tournament held in Independence, the Orange and Black netsters carried off most of the honors. A doubles team of Butler and Allred defeated all comers to win the doubles title. In the singles matches Clement advanced to the semi-finals round and Dalton won this event by de- feating Gross of Fort Scott. In the regional meet at Pittsburg the doubles team of Butler-Clement was eliminated in its first match by College high of Pittsburg. The two singles entrants fared better. Allred won his way to the semi-finals round, and again Dalton won a singles title-the regional. By virtue of this victory Dalton was eligible to compete in the state tournament. And in this meet he annexed his third state tennis title as state chazm-pion. The team entered the tournament at the Baker Relays but the competi- tion was a little too stiff and all the entrants were eliminated in their first round matches. Even though the showing in this last meet was not so good the season as a whole was one of the best ever enjoyed by an Orange and Black tennis team. Golf Golf is the youngest of the sports in I. H. S., being introduced in the spring of 1928. The 1930 team was composed of the following members: Barton Blakeslee, captain, Jack DeMott, Bill Emerson, and Bob Emerson. How- ever, Blakes-lee and DeMott were both on the track team and unable to com- pete in both sports, so the golf team became the property of the Emerson brothers. They did much to carry the Orange and Black high in golf compe- tition. They placed third in the S. E. K. tournament and were undefeated in dual meets. Any boy may become a member of the golf team by entering the tourn- ament which is held in the spring of every year, and if he makes any showing, whatsoever, he is given a chance to play in meets. With both members of last year's team back it is doubtful that anymore will be taken on, but there is a movement on foot to increase the number of the team to four, which would give a berth to two new members. As the Orange and Black must be in your hands before the season is well under way it is impossible to give any further results, but we do have top- notch hopes in golf for 1931.

E. K and second in the regional meet. The first meet of the year was the annual interclass meet which the seniors, as usual, won. The points were: seniors, 615 juniors, 453 sophomores- freshmen 17. , 1 3 , The nrst dual meet was with Chanute which we won after a 'rather slow start, 82 to 50. Next came the triangular meet at Neodesha with Fredonia, Independence, and Neodesha. Again the Bulldogs growled and walked away with the meet. The final scores were: Independence,133g Fredonia, 355 and Neoglesha, 29. Therlast dual meet of the season was with Coffeyville here, and again the Bulldogs were victorious and won for the second time by a score of 82 to 50. Coach Smith took his relay team to the Baker relays where they copped second place, losing to Kansas City Wyandotte high. In the S. E. K. meet at Parsons, we placed second with a total of 45 points. At the regional meet at Pittsburg, the Pittsburg team edged out Inde- pendence to take first place with the Orange and Black a close second. At the Kansas relays, the mile relay team again participated and, although they de- feated K. C. Wyandotte, El Dorado eeked out a victory over them. The per- sonal of this team was: Barton Blakeslee, Howard Wyckoff, Kenneth Snell, and Jelly Simpson., At the close of the season the following were awarded letters: Captain Jelly Simpson,,Captain-elect Russell Brooks, Jack DeMotte, Barton Blakes- lee, Bob Ph pps, Erdon Avery, Raysol Huffman, Ivan McGugin, Dowdal Davis, William Pendleton, George Nilsson, Paul Rees, James Callahan, Kenneth Snell, and Howard Wyckoff.

The idea of the junior high school is not to be a competi- tor of elementary and senior high school, but a compliment. 'l'he junior high school now affords an enriched curriculum for the seventh and eighth grades. Such a curriculum ends mortality in the seventh and eighth years, due chiefly to indifference springing from the fact that the old courses were reviews of elementary work. This enriched curriculum also ends mortal- ity in the ninth year, because it bridges the gap between the elementary and the high school. Students entering high school from the elementary school have made a blind choice of electives. This new curriculum in the .seventh and eighth grades now includes a course in guid- ance, which aids pupils to make a more intelligent choice of subjects. Thus the gap is bridged and instead of dull grades, the pupil has a new educational world opening before him. The purposes of the junior high school can be realized regardless of local school concerns. This requires only the cooperation of elementary and senior high schools. The junior high school idea is not a new one, nor is it an experiment. It has come about in the manner of all progressg developing over a period of years. In our junior high. we are giving a square deal to the young pupils of this awkward age, transforming uninterested pupils into alert beginners in a new organization, opening for them a new life, offering a program of studies to meet their varying needs as they continue to grow, assisting them in devel- oping right attitudes towards life and lifes problems, giving them opportunity to express their social ideas in helpful service, and to correct physical defects, developing a habit of clean and healthful living. All in all, enabling them to become better and more useful citizens. l5LixCK Page 103 ii TLI QPQXNQEWBLACK I95I -1 ' Page 104 THE GKNNGEVBLKCK 920 Page 105 FH OKXNGEWBLKCK l95I JUNIOR GIRL RESERVES Top Row, Left to Right: Smith, Tallman, Crocker fsponsorj, McNiel fsponsorj, Fennimore, McCoy.

The Junior Girl Reserves The Girl Reserves of the junior high school proved to be a very lively and enthusiastic organization this year. The Girl Reserves is an organization for all junior high girls who are interested in the highest standards of living. This organization uses the plans made by the Y. W. C. A. for girls from twelve to eighteen years of age. There are 170 members of the Girl Reserves in the junior high school this year. This number has been divided into two groups-The Blue Star and The Blue Triangle. Each group has its own officers and its own meetings, which are held every two weeks. They carry out the programs which have been planned at the first of the year. The Blue Triangle based its program for the year upon the idea, Playing the Game, and The Blue Star used for its theme, Gift Bring- ers. Each meeting was in charge of some girl, who planned the program with the help of a teacher. Special effort is made to make the programs interesting and helpful to all the girls, so that they may live up to the standards of the Girl Reserve code. This year the Girl Reserves have helped the school and community in various ways. At Thanksgiving, each group sent a basket to a needy family. The girls helped sell Christmas seals and gave money to the Red Cross. Also, both groups have raised all money needed for music and entertainments, by hav- ing candy sales. The picture above shows all the officers of both groups. Page 106 H115 opgwof veokck JUNIOR HI-Y Top Row, Left to Right: Lochmiller, Hatcher, Heckethorn fsponsorl, Parker fsponsorj, Graves, Shepard.

The Junior Hi-Y , The Junior Hi-Y has had a very successful year of Work. We helped with the annual conference which was held here this year. We helped bring Hoots and Quacks here with the cartoonist, Ben F. Hammond of the Withita Eagle. This entertainment was for both old and young. It was not only car- tooning, but also mimicry and ventriloquism. It was held April 16 at 2:30. We are now helping the senior Hi-Y build a cabin at Camp Wood. The Junior Hi-Y was Hrst organized in 1926-'27 under the leadership of Mr. Heckethorn. g The club, at present, is under the leadership of Mr. Heckethorn and Mr. Parker. The officers of the club this year are as follows: president, Jim McKinleyg vice-president, Thomas Boehlg secretary, Jack Duckworth, treasurer, Robert Graves. There were no boys who went to Camp Wood from the Junior Hi-Y last year, but there are several expected to go this year. There are thirty-Hve mem- bers this year. The greatest and highest achievement, or motto of the Hi-Y is: To create, maintain, and extend throughout our school and community, high stand- ards of Christian character. It was for this reason the club was organized and created. It is for this same reason that the boys have enrolled in this activity, and they will, no doubt, make life more happy, more spiritual for them- selves and will get finer ideas out of life than they would otherwise.

Junior High Pep Club The junior high school Pep Club was first organized in 1928 under the supervision of Miss Elva Hughes, who has seen the progress and who has been the inspiration of the thriving of the Pep Club since that time. The purpose of this club it to create enthusiasm in the student body for school activities, particularly athletics. In 1930-1931 there were twenty-three members and two honorary members, the cheer leaders. The club uniform it a white jersey with an orange and black bull pup, and a black pleated skirt. Attractively clad, the club gave clever drills be- tween the halves of basketball games and a few football games. The oiiicers for 1930-1931 were as follows: president, Barbara Deckerg secretary-treasurer, Frances Holdreng and cheer leaders, Kay Gray and Mary Jane Mibeck. Candidates receiving majority votes and a public invitation be- come full iiedged members. The members are limited to twenty-four. Besides the cheering, drill work, and ticket sales, the Pep Club members have acted as hostessses to a banquet for the basketball team. The Pep Club has also held numerous candy sales to obtain money to give the aforesaid ban- quet. At the end of school last year Mary Stewart gave a dinner for the track team and the Pep Club. Another thing might be added-just a word or two about Mrs. A. W. Shulthis. She is called the Godmother of the junior and senior Pep Clubs. She has given generously of her time and means to make things more pleasant for the club members. Page 108 we oPQxNoEveL?xc:K In Top Row, Left io Rfght: Beal, Sicks, Lodge. Webb, J. Courtney.

Junior H igh Basketball The Bulllpups annexed their second championship of the Junior Four league, composed of the following schools: Humboldt, Cherryvale, Fredonia, and Independence. The league is only a two-year old at present, and Inde- pendence has taken the first place honors both seasons. The season was considered very successful, despite the fact that our standing in the percentage column is only .500. We lost two games to the strong Emporia quintet, one to Altoona senior high, one to Fredonia, and two to Chanute. The following is the record of games won and lost: Independence 23 Cherryvale 13 Independence 18 Altoona 21. Independence 10 Cherryvale 2 Independence 8 Fredonia 9. Independence 10 Chanute 31.

Page 109 11 opjihe Page 110 EVBLACK noel Junior High Track The first call for track practice at the beginning of the 1930 season found a host of aspiring junior high boys reporting, Among this group were four returning lettermen. Maurice Cannady, Paul Rogers, and Charles Raglin, sprinters, and Ernest Prescott, a hurdler. With favorable weather and good material, a good season was expected, and when the time of the first meet drew near, a well balanced team had been selected to represent the school in track and field events. The first meet was held at Fredonia on April 12, and in this meet the Bullpups smothered their opponents under a 60 to 20 count. Four of the eight existing school records were broken in this meet. The next meet was a triangular affair, and was held at Chanute, April 17. The teams competing were Humboldt, Chanute, and Independence. Showing power in all departments, the Bullpups ran, jumped, vaulted, and threw themselves to another victory and a beautiful trophy. The final count gave the Bullpups 50, Chanute 33, and Hum- boldt 25. In this meet another school record was lowered. On May 6, in an invitational meet at Parsons, the Bull- nups, handicapped by injuries to two star sprinters, Rogers and Cannady, were forced to be satisfied with third place, although less than three points separated them from first place. Four- teen teams competed in this meet. Going into the league meet without the services of their sprinters, the Bullpups showed enough reserve to win the first Junior Four championship in track. The final score gave Independence 42, Humboldt 28, Cherry- vale 20. and Fredonia 8. Independence set five of the nine new league records in this meet, which was the final event of the season for the Bullpups. Of' the championship squad, only two did not graduate, and these two, Paul Rogers and Charles Raglin, will form the nucleus for the 1931 team. Josephine Walker-Aren't you eat your afraid the birds will seeds? You ought to put up a scarecrow. Paul Rogers-Oh, its not worth while.
