I-IISTGRY QF GUI? ALMA MATH? Montgomery County High School, now I. H. S., began its history in 1899 with the erection of the building later named Nees Hall. This structure, measuring only 115 feet by 85 feet and standing three stories can hardly be compared to our fine school buildings of today. The principal was the well-known Samuel M, Nees, The first of the present faculty to arrive on the scene was Mr. E. J. Castillo who appeared in 1902. He was followed by Miss Anna Ingleman in 1908. . . . .After a few uneventful years M. C. H. S. became more modern and issued the first annual in 1911. In the graduating class of that year was Miss Ethel Wahl, now the junior high Latin instructor. The emphasis placed upon foren- sics is shown by the printing of the debate speeches and orations .... In 1912 Miss Ingleman was treated to her first and probably last ride on a freight train. When one is a chaperon of the girls' basketball team and misses the train to Cha- nute, the only thing to do is ride the next freight, and that is what Miss Ingleman did .... The year 1913 was very eventful. A new ad- dition to the school was built in- cluding the gym now used as the orchestra room. The basketball team won third place in the state tournament. Miss Stewart joined the faculty and Misses Brown and Russell became alumnae of old M. C. H. S. The next year Miss Hufnhes graduated but otherwise it was comparatively quiet .... In the fall of 1915 football was re- sumed after a lay-off of eight years. Mr. John Laury, now the coach at Manual High School of Kansas City, was the coach. Due to the total lack of experience the record was worse than mediocre. 5 'Yi . , The next year the situation Was reversed and an undefeated season was had. Again in 1917 the team was all-Victorious. A new high was reached in defeating Fredonia 91-0. The editor of the 1918 an- nual Was none other than Clarence Scratch,' Oakes, now famed as a globe-trotter. In it was printed a prize winning war propaganda Hi Ill, i L speech depicting horror,' tactics of the Germans that only a fertile imagination could invent. .... The activities of the year 1918-19 were upset by the World War. Among the more notable for notoriousj graduates Were Hugh Hug Brown, Deane Duck,' Smith, and Mar- lin Reppert, who was the Orange and Black editor. .... The school year of 1919-20 was one of those in which nothing noteworthy hap- pens. We mention it only because Miss Self received her diploma. The next year the orchestra and band were recognized to have a definite place in the curriculum with the employing of Professor Goepfert. The football team again succeeded in staving off defeat. This was the last year of M.C.H.S. It was taken over by the city of In- dependence the next fall .... With the beginning of I. H. S. in 1921, Miss Russell was engaged. Of her S the Orange and Black made this quip: Miss Russell isn't very if large, but she is good looking, help- ful, and patient. Her former class- mate, Miss Brown, also returned to her alma mater and Miss Burns moved up from the Lincoln grade school of which she had been a charter member. In addition to all this the Bulldog gridsters had another all-victorious season .... In the fall of 1922 Bert Beal's grid- sters completed their third straight undefeated season. Before the celebrating was over the stu- dent body was stunned by the death of Principal Nees on Decem-' ber 1, 19-22. The school building was then named Nees Hall in his honor. It was during this year the new junior high was built .... In the fall of 1923 the new building was first used. A host of new in- structors came to I. H. S. The fol- lowing fall Mr. Smith succeeded Mr. Beal as coach. .... The school year of 1926-27 opened with Mr. Stevens and Mr. Clement taking office. That year also saw the organization of the Pep Olub .... The year 1929-30 was a banner year. The football team won the Southeast Kansas League title. The orchestra Won second place at Pittsburg, In his second year here Mr. J acoby's influence upon the debate team began to show. The team composed 1 1 1 A 1 3- of James Callahan, Ida Rae Sprad- ling, Ida McGarvey, and Ben Sa- lathiel won the Pittsburg, K. U., and district tournaments as well as the S. E. K. championship. They were defeated only in the final .s . round of the state tournament. ,. i -y ' , ,pic ' ,. ,-. -2 . . ,. ,s , .Q l ff' p , This was probably the most suc- 4 3 cessful year in Independence de- bate history. The next year the s football team, brought home an- other league title. .... Although X'-1-e bringing no athletic titles, 1931-32 ii, brought something as good. Com- ,af . 4 iw X . sw 'X Q peting in the state music contest at Emporia for the first time the orchestra won first place, beating Ottawa, who was considered to have a rather permanent lease on that position. Another banner year was that of 1932-33. In that year the football crown was won for the third time in four years. The debaters and orchestra were outstanding. .... 'llhe pnerdt year brought no athletic crowns or in- tellectual conquests, hence boasts little that can be mentioned ..... m This brief sketch traces the history - of I. H. S. If it is not pleasing, it is our lack of ability, not history.

CLEMENT, Superintendent of Schools A. B. McPherson College A. M. University of Kansas A. M. Columbia University The students of some schools rarely ever see their city superin- tendent. To them he is just some mysterious and s-olemn figure who stays in a downtown ofiice. Not so is our Superintendent of Schools. J. H. Clement. During the f-ootball season Mr. Clement is a frequent visitor at our pep assemblies, so great is his interest in young people, Mr. Clement's formula for staying young is to associate with young people, and anyone acquainted with him can attest to his success in that endeavor. No pedagogue boasting a string of degrees, Mr. Clement, however, possesses enough academic training to warrant his important posi- tion in our school system. The Bachelor of Arts degree was award- ed Mr. Clement by McPherson College. A. Mfs came to him from the University of Kansas and Columbia University. Mr. Clement came to Independence the same year as Mr. Stevens as part of the new deal in our schools. Although it is now an old deal , there is no desire among the thinking students for another new deal . Like Mr. Stevens, our superintendent is a strong booster of school activities from debate to the gym team. As subordinate officers are responsible to superiors, Mr. Clement is responsible to the school board. lt is the board that has the final decision on all important matters. School officials may make fervent intercessions for certain activitiesg but if something is displeasing to the school board, that something must go. For that reason we wish here sincerely to thank the members of the Board of Education for the wonderful educational opportunities provided us. The present mem- bers are: Mr. Clarence E. Stewart. president, Mr. O. L. O'Brien, Mrs. J. B. Blades, Mr. W. O. Gray, and Mr. B. H. Woodman. The last named will soon retire. His place and a vacancy will be filled by Mr, Edwin Potts and Mr. S. E. McDaniel. Page 14 Q U P ' 1' P ra I N C I P A L it Sul E. R. STEVENS, B. S.. Kansas State Teachers' College, Em- pori' a M. S. University of Kansas Every high school has a big shot . He may be easy to get along with and likable, or he may be just the opposite. Our big shot be- longs in the former category. All principals, because of the nature of their profession, make themselves the target of all the criticism of disgruntled students. Principal E. R. Stevens, the big shot of I. H. S., is no exception, but certainly the amount of criticism is at an almost irreducible miniumum. Principal Stevens came to I. H. S. in the fall of 1927 from Leavenworth High School. He gained his Bachelor of Science degree at Emporia State Teachers College and earned his Master of Science degree at the University of Kansas. Our principal is not lacking in qualifications for his position. Our principal by no means limits his activities to his school duties, although he has enough of them by virtue of his being principal of the junior and senior high schools and dean of the junior college. He takes his part in civic affairs, having recently served as president of the local Rotary Club. The esteem in which he is held by his fellow-educators is evidenced by the fact that Mr. Stevens is now president of both the Kansas State High School Athletic As- sociation and the National Federation of High School Athletic As- sociations. A friend to all activities and departments of the school is our principal. Although recognizing the three r's as fundamentals, hc realizes that school would be a very dull and useless place if only reading, writing, and arithmetic were taught. Music, debate, manual training, athletics, and all the rest receive enthusiastic backing from Mr. Stevens. , The final proof of Mr. Stevens' competency is that students ap- proach him not fearfully and trembling, but as they would one who is their friend.

They looked forward to the time when they could be called dignified seniors . That time has arrived. They are no longer timid little souls, but they have gained recognition in many fields of school activities. 'The football and basketball teams, composed largely of seniors, aroused great enthusiasm among the students by their spectacular performances. Frank Sicks had the honor of having been presented letters in four sports for two straight years, also winning two in his sophomore year. Frank also had the unusual honor -of serving his class in the capacity of president for the past three years. In track and swimming We again find the class well represented, Jimmy Gordon having received four letters in track, the only one to have achieved this record in I. H. S. Bob Graves consistently smashed the state 40-yard free-style swimming record. Only the athletic ability of this once timid class has been mentioned, but it has accomplished other things. Last year it revived the idea of the Junior-Senior banquet, which had almost been forgotten because of the de- pression. The result was one of the most picturesque banquets ever given in the history of I. H. S. The class is proud of its scholastic ability, several individuals having proved themselves outstanding in this field. Eleven were elected to the Na- tional Honor Society, nine of which were chosen in their junior year. The debate team, composed entirely of seniors, won the Southeast Kansas League tourna- ment at Parsons and competed in the state meet at Lawrence. The school was again proud of them when they brought home trophies for having won second place at both Pittsburg and Topeka. Various members were active in the instrumental and vocal departments of the school. Several were members of the orchestra in '32 when it won first place in the state contest held at Emporia. Those dramatically inclined were in several of the plays in their junior and senior years. The climax of the season was reached when those of the graduating class presented their class play. Altogether the seniors were creditably represented in every phase of school life-athletics, scholarship, debate, music, and dramatics. Records such as these indicate an interesting future. The golden sun is just breaking over the horizon. Seniors, see that you do not sleep late. Page 32 'W l N Webb, presidentg Sheldon, vice-president: Kandt, secretary M ll L ll C1 The Class of 1936 The junior class of '35 is composed of 176 students who are immensely proud of belonging to the l. H. S, student-body. A group may be recognized by its advancement and high standards which its members set and live up to. By this measuring stick it may be well said that the graduating class of '36 will be a class that will long be remembered for its achievements, During the last year nine new members have been added to its roll from three states and a number of surrounding towns, May a few words here express all the sorrow which the class has ex- perienced because of the loss of three of its members. Robert Frank Stewart was born Oct. 29, 1916 and died Jan. 24, 1935, Robert Morris was born Jan. 9, 1918 and died March 24, 1935. Lupe Bustos was born Sept. 28, 1916 and died April 12, 1935. All three left a wide circle of friends who Will long revere their memory. The junior class has been very outstanding in dramatics. Last year two of its members took leading roles in the long play, Seventeen , One juni-or has taken the lead in both of the Dramatics C1ub's productions this year. In the play Bah the class was well represented, and in Tiger House ' the majority of the cast was composed of juniors. The class athletic record is one of which any class could be proud. Four of the football lettermen are members of the class. One received his second letter and the other his third. Myron Cadwell was chosen as guard on the all- star Southeast Kansas League team. Another junior will win his second tennis letter this spring. In the school's most newly organized sport, swimming, two juniors won their second letter and one his first. A number of classmen have reported for track, tennis, and golf. The class is well represented in all the activities of the school and its members hold many of the offices in these organizations. The class is also well represented in debate, orchestra, and advanced gym. The scholarship of the class is note-worthy. The honor roll always carries its share of juniors. The juniors are planning a Junior-Senior Banquet for the entertainment of the seniors this spring. The class believes that it will give the seniors an evening that they will long remember. This year's junior class is not the largest in the history of the school, but it more than makes up what it lacks in quantity by quality.

Although not so large, numbering only 108 students, its members possess varied and numerous talents. if the present record is upheld, the people -of Independence will see a graduating class in 1937 of which they can be proud. The class has done enough in the realm of scholarship to merit highest praise. Even though the sophomore year is considered quite difficult, an exceptionally large percentage of the honor roll is composed of sophomores. That the sophomores are not book-worms is well proved by their par- ticipation in the athletics of the school. In football only one member of the class won a letterg but because the second squad was made up almost entirely of sophomores, members of the class will comprise more than a marjority of next year's team. The same was true of basketball, but with a year of experience under their belts next year s juniors will be on the firing line in full strength. The swimming team presents an entirely different story. It would not be far amiss to call it the sophomore swimming team. Sophomores will probably not set the World afire nor break any records in spring sports, but they will form the nucleus of the teams next year. In the Various activities of the school the sophomores also shine. In nearlv all the clubs they are well represented. The class is proud that of the recently elected Hi-Y officers three of the four are of the sophomore class. Last but not least the sophomores pride themselves in the fact that they are a bunch of regular fellows . They can fit themselves to meet the occasion. They can have as much fun as anyone, but can become serious when the situation demands. Miss Anna Ingleman, who has had the opportunity to observe many classes in her career at I. li' S., has this to say of the class? They're bright enough, but they are still sophomores. The members of the class of '37 wish to take this opportunity to thank the people of Independence for granting them the manv privileges and opportunities that they now possess. They will do their best to see that they are Worthy of such opportunities. Page 40 4 1 S 3 Yqww f 7 ' J L? M, ka S, Cz-.

Smith, the now well known I Club was organized in 1924, but evidently was not recognized as a regular act- ivity in school until two years later when they received their first write up and pictures in the Orange and Black. Unlike most other activities the membership is limited. Only the better athletes of the school are eligible, that is the lettermen in any one of the six major sports. The roll was comparatively small then, partially because only football lettermen were honored, and too, the school's enrollment was smaller. Because of this lack of membership the track lettermen were allowed to enter. Basketball cagers were soon brought in, and in 1928 when golfing was added to the list of spring sports, that team and the tennis team were asked to join. Last spring, because of criticism from a few outsiders, the old CuSt0m of initiation was abondoned, but the tradition was started again this winter. lt was typical of other initiations in former years, with the usual feed after the stunts, but was carried out more on the quiet ', and the six new members promised to keep mum . Another will be held after the spring games are wound up. The clubs resources are principally from candy sales. Everyone chips in his dime or what ever it might be when they have the annual picnic or a party, except at the initiation, then new comers have to foot the expenses. Meetings are held twice a month during tlte senior activity period. The programs are arranged by two different members each time. Entertainment of a wide variety has been presented this year. Besides having heard a num- ber of the school's musicians, various prominent men have spoken, including Reverend Humbert and Scratch Oakes who talked of their experiences in Europe. Late in the spring Coach Smith, the sponsor, showed moving pictures of the New Years Sugar Bowl game. The present membership stands at twenty-nine. These arethe officers for 1934-35: president, Franck Sicksg vice-president, Tom Baehlg secretary- treasurer, Jim Gordon. The club s roll will be considerably increased at the finish of the track season, but with graduation taking its toll about the same count will start next fall.

Such was the headline for the initial Student ' football write-up. The quantity was, of course, soon found, but the quality was hardly determined. The fighting Bulldogs' playing ability went in spurts. They played like true league title contenders in their first three games, but finished with four losses, four wins, and one tie. After a decisive victory over Fredonia, winning by a 19-point margin, the squad showed surprising strength and took advantage of the breaks to defeat Pittsburg, scoring two touchdowns to the Dragons' one. The cocky,' Parsons gridsters met bitter dissapointment when the Smithmen held them scoreless, winning by twelve points. These first two league encounters showed that the Bulldogs did have the stuff it takes to grab titles. The squad mentor grieved that his boys lacked a leader, this proved to be true when the Bulldogs came out non-victorious in the next two games. The Fort Scott Tigers dislodged the Independence Bulldogs from first place in the S. E. K. race with a 14 to 12 victory, and the Blue Streaks held the Bulldogs to a 6 to 6 tie at Neodesha. With one scratch victory for their opponents and one tie the Bulldogs seemed to slacken pace and were defeated by Columbus and Chanute, who eventually won second and first places, respectively, in the league. When the Bulldogs missed a touchdown after advancing the oval to the Chanute two- yard line in the first five mimutes of play, the Comets displayed a vicious attack with plenty of punch, and literally smothered the home team. The final scoref-Independence, 2: Chanute, 32. The Bulldogs scored their lone two points by blocking a Comet punt which rolled into the end zone. A three week's vacation followed the Chanute game-that is, in terms of gamese-but the Smithmen kept in tip-top shape by steady practice and proved to be too fast for the Cherries. I. H. S. tallied 20 points to Cherryvale's none. Dope? Yes, the best sport writers in the league can predict, and give 5I00d reasons for believing so, but it doesn't mean a thing when Independence and Coffeyville clash. This year, in a cloud of cold mist, the Golden Tornadoes, playing on their field, made the Smithmen say uncle , this being the second consecutive year. The final score-Coffeyville, 73 Independence, O. Although the 1934 season's standings ended with Independence in sixth place, they must be given full credit for their victories and for out-pointing their opponents.

S. two years ago, hailing from Emporia high, soon found his way into the Held of sports. And although football is not his ace game fthat being' basket bally he successfully covered the left wing' of the line this season. Myron Cadwell, already a two-year man, made guard on the S. E.

Clarence will long be renieinbered for his 80-yard run in the l'ittsbul':-it i?.'ame. Fred Beal, the sma.llest member ol the team, played every minute of every game. His iirwportanco to the team can be easily calcufated from this. As quarterback Freddie must be compli- mented on his good judgment in falling signals and for being a fair and siiuare player. Paul Fowler, the number one in lor for the track team proved his endurance by piaying a guard this season. Paul is another of the farmer lads who has shown the city boys they can give ii as well as take it. Frank Sit-ks has the rare honor of being' a Ietterinan in four different sports. l-le nas a flashy half liar-ic, gaining more than his share oi' the liulldog yarrlage, and due to his loader- ship and personality he was cliosen honorary captain.

Lloyd Mcliain, known about school as Mutt , played his drst year at regular halfhack and inade a good showing. l-le will be on hand next season to fill his own shoes and will lie ouite ae- ceptable to Coach Smith. Letterman Bob Decker, who will add to a strong line for next season, will probably be shifted from guard to tackle position. Bob worked in the oil fields last summer uheie he developed the essential hard- ness for a lineman. George Bath is one of the few in I. H. S. football history to make a letter in his freshman year. George plays in the line, and is well on the way to be- come an all-league tackle. Nlinfred Nash was the fast man on this yea.r's squad. Being I. H. S.'s ace quarter miler, XVinnie played halfback in good style. With his loose hips and fast limbs he gave the fans a touch of the xx ell known Paul Rogers type of football.

Junior, who was chosen left tackle on the all star southeast Kansas second team, has the iight necessary to go piaces. Haldvall Lee, end, who was strong on defense, was the source of many a loss in yardage for the enemy team. Be- sides being a ifiood tackler he had the no cssary height to knock dovln and ri.ce.x'e passes. Russell Burns played his first year at guard, being exceptionally good on de- fense. Russell wiil be back next year to take his place in the line. that Coaon Smith is confident will be a real one. Quintin Russell, the most football minded fellow on the team, played a good offensive and defensive game. Since laiuintin is :L sophomore and plays a regular guard he will have two more years to compute for a position on the S. lil. K. team. Bob Graves, center, xnade very few bad passes from his regular pivot. Bob, who stopped many an 0pponent's line plunge. is better known for stoppin! the time keepers watch in swimming: lneets at new record times. Duane Armsbury, the last of the three 'tlittle Arinsbury brothers. made his first letter playing center. Duane is only a. sophomore and serves notire that he may be the 'tlast but not the least of the family. Page 44 159 Smith, Coachg Randel, Carpenter, Blaney, Decker, Atkinson Searle, French, Hockett, Knott, Stewart, Welch, Graves Gradually gaining strength, the sons of Neptune , under the tutelage of Forrest Smith, have brought themselves to recognition as a regular athletic team of I. H. S. The team was organized by Coach Forrest Smith in October, 1933, but they attended only one meet that year. Try-outs were held at the beginning of the current school year, and the team began steady practice every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday night after school and during activity period on Thursday. Like any -other sport, it takes three of four years to develop material, Coach Smith is doing just that. However, the swimmers did well in their meets, considering the amount of time the team has been organized. They competed against Tulsa's Central High swimming squad in two meets, the first one there and the second here. The results: Tulsa 56, Independ- ence 18 Qtherejg Tulsa 48, Independence 23 Cherel. Since no official state meet was held this year, the teams that would have competed Went to Wichita for a quadrangular meet. Bob Graves broke the 40-yardzfree-style record, his time being 19.8 seconds. The old record was 20.4. Bob acted as captain in all the meets. Kansas City Wyandotte won with 36 points, and Wichita East was a close second with a two-point disadvantage. Independence trailed in fourth place with 15 points. Wichita North tallied 23 points. The foll-owing team of thirteen men was picked to represent I. H. S.: Bob Graves-40- and 100-yard free style, 22 points for season. Paul Randel-100- and 200-yard free-style, 6 points for season. Oscar Searle-160-yard relay and medley relay, 4 5-6. Robert Hockett-40-yard free-style and 160-yard relay, 4 1-2. Bob Decker-100-yard breast-stroke and 160-yard relay, 3 1-3.

Basketball A bad start means a good ending , so states an ancient proverb, and so it happened to the basketball squad, at least from one angle. Unable to get on their feet during the first part of the season, partially due to sickness, the Bulldogs put forth only a meek attack against their league opponents. They did, however, win several non-league encounters, and won third place at the annual regional invitation tournament held in Fredonia's new gymnasium. In any number of games the Smithmen held the lead the first half, but an un- known something ' seemed to slacken their pace after the rest period. Mentioning a new court brings to mind the crowds that packed the h-ome rectangle this season. It's the first time in school history that it has been filled to full capacity consistently. The actual playing court had to be made smaller to make room for spectators around the sides. The spirit was good, and even though the local team was not so successful in terms of wins, they brought back the old time basketball fever, which is equally or more important. With possibilities of a new gymnasium floating around over the heads of the tax payers, nothing is more convincing than to see the fans packed in the cracker box . A full team of letter men was in the lineup this season, including: Fred Beal, Tom Yoe, Emmett Condon, Frank Sicks, and Tom Baehl, all of whom will be lost by graduation. The new lettermen this year are Clarence Webb, Bob Stewart, and Jack Brewer, all seniors, and Ted Baker, the only returning letterman. The custom adopted by Coach Smith of choosing an acting captain be- fore each game has proved quite successful. Tom Baehl was elected the honorary leader of the season by a popular vote of the squad.

Smith's track teams have won every dual, triangular, and quadrangular meet since 1927-that is seven consecutive years! In the past ten years the Bulldogs have come out victorious in forty-four of their forty-six dual, triangular, and quadrangular meets. This does not include regional meets, but Independence has always been a strong contender, usually finishing in second or third place. The two dual losses were to Parsons and Coffeyville in 1925 and 1927, respectively. Parsons won by a one-point margin. So much for those statistics, Last year the junior class took an early lead in the interclass meet and kept it to the end. With thirty-eight points each the seniors and sophomores tied for second place. Keeping up the undefeated record the Bulldogs trounced Oswego in the initial meet of the season by a score of 96 to 36. On a muddy field Smith's men eked out their twenty-eighth consecutive dual victory, downing Chanute by a four-point margin. The crown of victory was once again placed upon the brow of I. H. S. when the Sniithmen easily out-pointed their opponents in the annual quadrangular regional qualifying meet. Since five of the team's best men were unable to compete, Coach Smith did not enter the S. E. K. league tourney at Pittsburg, which is always a feature in the season's competition. For the same reason-loss cf men-Independence failed to score at the state meet held at Emporia. Second place ribbon was bestowed on our Bulldogs' collar at the yearly regional high school meet at Pittsburg. With a full strength line-up the ribbon might have been blue instead of red. The unforgettable Paul Rogers tied for high point honors. Although the team slacked some in the regional meets, it kept up the outstanding record, which is the all-important thing. Independence is the cock of the wa1k ' now. The new quarter mile cinder track at Producer's Park is the best in the league. It is one of the best high school paths in Kansas. The meets will be held at night under the lights. This will add an entirely new event to the sport fan's memorandum. With eight lettermen back the Bulldogs have top-notch prospects for the '35 season and they have started to practice early. Page 47 ff J. Armsbury, D. Armsbury, Sicks, Wakeland, Brooks, Sloop, Masters, Baker, Stewart. Golf Q1934 SEASONJ I. H. S. continued to dominate the golf spotlight in Southeastern Kansas by winning five consecutive dual matches and taking first and second places in both individual and team play in the S. E. K. match. This extends their string of dual victories to four years, and they have won the conference crown three times in four years. In the annual school tourney held in early spring to determine the mem- bers of the team, Junior Armsbury came out winner with Roderic Wakeland, Frank Sicks, DuWayne Armsbury, and Kenneth Brooks following. All these except Wakeland compete this year. In the first match of the season Independence took Fredonia 9 1-2 to 5 1-25 they also won a return match later at Fredonia 13 1-2 to 1 1-2. Parsons lost to the Bulldogs 9 1-2 to 2 1-2. Bartlesville was beaten in two matches by scores of 8 1-2 to 6 1-2 and 12 1-2 to 2 1-2. J. Armsbury and Wakeland won first and second place honors in the league match, with Sicks and Armsbury carrying -off the team trophy. Tennis C1934 SEASOND When Coach Smith called for tennis prospects, his call was promply answered by some fifteen or twenty boys. The school tournament was then held to determine the team. In it Bill Sloop and Bob Stewart met in the finals with Sloop emerging victorious. Neal Masters and Ted Baker completed the team. In the S. E. K. league meet held here, Sloop went to the finals in singles, Bartlesville, the local racketeers won by scores of 3-0. The only defeat in a dual meet was taken at Bartlesville by a score of 2-1. In the S. E. K. league meet held here, Sloop went to the finals in singles as did Baker and Stewart in the doubles. The next week the locals carried off all honors in the regional meet at Pittsburg, Sloop winning the singles and Stewart and Masters the doubles. Of the four members of the team who received letters only Stewart and Baker returned this year. Page 48 Top row: Emens,lCrosson, Woodman, Helman, Boomis, Cavert, James, Smith.

S. is the Pep Club. i Since 1926, when the club was first organized under Miss Zella Sprad- ,jjj ,-Y ling, it has been the custom for this club to help arouse enthusiasm in the student body, and interest it in the sport events. This year the members put on several assembly programs, pep stunts, and participated in pep rallies. A spectacular drill between the halves of a game is a specialty of the girls. Attendance at the home games, both football and basketball, was almost one hundred per cent this year. As many girls as possible represented the club at out-of-town games. The football season closed with a bang as the Pep Club gave a banquet for the team. The K. G. Sz E. rooms were decorated with the school colors, and the lighting effect was achieved by candles. Mary Jane Mibeck was the toast- mistress. After several appropriate speeches the fellows were awarded their letters and stripes. Following that the group attended a special feature arranged for it at one of the leading theatres. The chairmen of the various committees that planned the banquet were: food, Mary Jane Mibeck, decora- tion, Anne Browng place-cards, Charlotte Cox, entertainment, Gertrude Wesley. The membership of twenty-four included sixteen seniors, six juniors, and a junior and sophomore cheerleader. There will be eight, therefore, to carry over next year as compared to previous years in which there were -only six members remaining to elect the new members the following year. The initiation this year was limited to a scavenger hunt and picnic, dur- ing which the old members enjoyed an evening of overbearance and dictator- ship. According to the rules of the club, a member is dropped if she is not passing in every subject. The Pep Club takes care of all of its own expenses by candy sales once a week. This year the officers were: president, Mary Jane Mibeckg vice-presi- dent, Charlotte Coxg secretary, Anne Browng treasurer, Gertrude Wesley. The school is especially proud of its cheerleaders this year. They worked together with such willing cooperation, and their appearance was outstanding. Due credit and appreciation should be given to the Pep Club sponsor, Miss Elva Hughes, whose originality, patience, and hard work make possible the success of the club.

The Senior Girls' Athletic Association was organized in 1926 for the purpose of encouraging physical education and athletic activities for the high school girl, The local organization joined the Kansas State High School Athletic Association in 1932. Through this association, the girls may participate in athletic activites and earn letters and local and state awards. The activities for which points are granted are placed in three groups! C13 organized activitiesg C23 unorganized activitiesg C33 achievement tests and health and hygiene. The first meeting of the school year was held in September. At this meeting plans for the coming year were made. The club decided to engage in the seasonal sports at their regular bi-monthly meeting during activity period. They also decided to meet evenings after school for sports and Wednesday for swimming. The election of officers was held which resulted in the selection of Adeline Waits, presidentg Gladys Dunn, secretaryg and Jean Marie Knott, treasurer. This year there is a membership of fortv girls. Many of them will be eligible for awards. The first award is the school letter of felt or chenille given to girls who hove earned the necessarv 600 points. With 400 additional points on may receive the second award which is a chenille state letter. The girls eligible for one of these awards are: Avis Allred, Fern Cole, Helen Emert, Velma Lear, Lola McGuire, Frances Nickerson, Eloise Slaten, Marguerite Scott, Pauline Wells, Wilma Ioeger, Masie Gillen, Alice Klein, Pauline Lane, Vivian Shook, Adeline Walts. and Lucile Boyle. The third and final award, a pin. is a gold HK . Another 400 points are essential to merit this final award. Trilbajean Hamontre is the first girl in Independence High School to earn the necessarv points and pass all the other reouirements for the award. Much credit is due Trilbajean for her perseverance and consistent participation in the activities in which she worked. This year different teams were chosen for volleyball and basketball. The volleyball teams played a tournament. June Ioeger's team won the volley- ball championship of the school. Her team was composed of the following girls: Wilma Ioeger. Dorothv Coffey. Gladys Emery, Pauline Lane, Pauline Wkells, Maisie Gillen, Marie Freeman, Marguerite Scott, Eloise Slaten, and Alice K ein. The club gives its deepest and sincerest thanks to Miss Elva Hughes. the sponsor. Miss Hughes, who is heavily loaded with her large classes and other activities, ha.

Dramatics Club Officers The Dramatics Club of I. H. S, has come to be looked upon with grow- ing favor as a source of welcome variation in the routine of school life and as an important cog in the machinery of the school. In the past few years the presentations of the club have been accepted with increasing appreciation and applause. This year has been no exception. During the year two long plays and several short plays, skits, and readings have been presented by its members. The long plays were Bab ', which was presented in the fall, and Tiger House , which was the annual mystery play and was perf-ormed February 19. Bah was a difficult characterization play by Booth Tarkington. It showed the hardships of a young girl who has become attractive beyond her years. She longs for the parties and attentions -of her older sister that are denied her because of her age. In a clever plot Mr. Tarkington tells of her battle for recognition, aided by her indulgent father and suppressed by her mother. Tiger House was a thrilling mystery with a bit of oriental mystic art and a strong thread of romance. Many stated that this was the best play presented here for several years. Although the long plays are the most conspicuous form, they are by no means the only form by which the Dramatics Club entertains students. The short plays put on are a welcome addition to any chapel program. The Woman Who Understood Men , which tells of the jealousies of young loveg and The Tangled Web , containing a highly humorous robbery, are but a few of the short plays that gained favor with the student body. The readings, too, are not to be overlooked. Many of these showed real talent on the part of the performer. This year The Tangled Web was entered in the Pittsburg contest and received second place. Maxine Lawson also won second place with a dramatic reading. Meetings of the club are held bi-monthly. In the meetings short plays, skits, and readings are presented by members. The officers of the club were: John O'Brien, presidentg Maxine Lawson, vice-presidentg Richard Arey, sec- retary: Clarence Webb, treasurer, ' The work of Miss Anna Ingleman in sponsoring the club and directing the plays cannot be praised too highly. Any credit received for presentations should go directly to her. Page 54 l Top row, left to right: Gibson, Mibeck, Lawson, Helman, Bradbury. Bottom row: P. Davis, Clark, Thompson, E. Davis. Debate Although not the best season ever had by I. H. S. debate teams, the 1934-35 season was decidedly better than average. Among the titles brought home Were: first in the Southeast Kansas League tournament, second places at Pittsburg and Topeka, and fourth in the state tournament. The question for debate was Resolved, that the federal government should adopt the policy of equalizing educational opportunity throughout the nation by means of annual grants to the several states for public elementary and secondary educationf' In the inaugural tournament of the year at Pittsburg, Independence was defeated in the finals by Miami, Oklahoma. All eight local entrants gained the elimination rounds. The well-balanced strength of the I. H. S. squad was shown at the Topeka tournament. Competing against teams from five states the squad won thirteen debates. This meet was conducted on a percentage basis. The winne1', Miami, won seventy-five per cent of its debates, but was defeated on both sides of the question by Independence. In the oratorical contest held as a feature, Philip Davis won first and Mary Jane Mibeck third. In the tournament sponsored by the College of Emporia the locals were defeated by Fort Scott in the semi-finals. This meet was one of the largest of the year, boasting a field of over 120 teams. One team from as far as Green River, Wyoming, competed. In the league tournament at Parsons the Independence II team lost to Fort Scott in the semi-finals by a single point in speakers' rankings. The No. I team composed of Edward Davis, Philip Davis, Jessie Bradbury, and Helen Deane Gibson split two debates with Coffeyville in the finals. Due to this fact the championship was determined by the rankings of the speakers. Because of the superiority of the local speakers the title was awarded to Independence. Coach Jacoby's proteges demonstrated their prowess at the state tour- nament held at Lawrence by ranking fourth, Independence and eleven other district champions competed. No record of the season would be complete without some recognition of Coach Floyd N. Jacoby. The credit for this year's record must be divided equally between Coach Jacoby and the debaters themselves. Mr. Jacoby faces the difficult task next year that all coaches dread, that of having only one returning letterman. Of the nine regular debaters of this year only Margaret Jean Thompson will return next fall. Page 55 as s ' 41551 l I 1 ?ff or l In 'Av il' it W ik W if The Independence Student No molder of public opinioni' is The Independence Student. Nor does it come under the classification of mighty organ for justice and equality , The school paper of Independence High School is just that and nothing more. The staff itself has no illusions as to its greatness. How could the paper influence anybody? Only a small percentage of the subscribers ever read any of the editorials, and if the editorials are read, do they do any convincing? With this View in mind, the skeptic asks what the value of the paper is, or is there any? The answer to therlast question must be in the affirmative. The most convincing evidence for that argument is the howl that is always set up when a mistake is made and too few papers are sent to a room. Certainly a sizeable group eagerly await Wednesday afternoon so that it may get its Student. Per- haps that group desires it so that scathing criticism may be hurled at it, but nevertheless its publication is accompanied with much expectancy. The Student presents the news of the school sprinkled with a few features. Its purpose primarily is to publish school news. It is written by amateurs who are obtaining their first newspaper experience. The staff can make no bones about it but that sometimes the paper was lousy . But on the other hand it stoutly maintains that usually the paper really had class to it. The journalism class, which does the editing, cannot honestly contend that it has done its best all the time. It has suffered from laziness, spring fever, etc. like all other humans. But it does pride itself very highly in the au- thoritative comment received that this year's Student has been better written than any other in recent years. So much for the staff's throwing bouquets at itself. , If it is the staff that writes the stories, it is Mr. Hugh Brown who instructs it in the writing of those stories. To an outsider it may appear that Mr. Brown, the journalism sponsor of The Student, has an easy task. Nothing could be farther from the truth. His hours of worry are not spent fifth hour when the journalism class meets. They come after school and the night before going to the press . Making up the paper is no easy job. What stories to print and which ones to leave out does not constitute an easy decision to make Placating an irate advertiser irked at some mistake of a student is also one of Mr. Brown's less pleasant duties. The paper can be no better than those who write it, but also it can be no better than Mr. Brown makes it. While handing out the roses, Mr. Reppert and his printing students must not be forgotten. Although not writing The Student, it is they who do the dirty work . Great is the strife between the front-office and the back- office ' sometimes. But in the long run, those of the front-office really realize how dependent they are upon the printers. Therefore the staff wishes to ac- knowledge and give thanks to Mr. Reppert and the boys who do the printing of The Student.

Each accuses the other or cluttering up the paper with its punk Stulf. But alter all, this partnership of the two schools makes for a much better paper. Because of the size of the journalism class and Mr. Browh's desire to give each student as much experience as possible, the editorships changed hands quite often. Before the end of the school year practically everyone in the class served in some SDQCIEU capacity. Many put The Student on the defensive when they note its tabloid size and declare it to be uhdernourished. However, such an accusation can be easily met. For a high school paper it has been found that the small size is quite G9Sl1'3.bl9. It tends toward better balance and a better arrangement of ad- vertising. Few school papers can rival The Student in balance and general appearance. For the reason that The Student is written partially by junior college students it has not been entered in any contests so that no accurate comparison can be made between it and other journals. However, the staff contends, as do others who have the opportunity to observe, that the ap- pearance of The Student is much superior to that of the exchange papers received. Every year some of the journalism class attend the state convention of high school journalists, but this year the nati-onal convention was held at Kan- sas City, Mo., and eight delegates represented I. H. S. Louise Bowen, Kenneth Brooks, Anne Brown, Betty lflmens, Margaret Lynch, John O'Brien, and Ruth Jane O'Brien made the trip. The members of the staff wish to take this opportunity sincerely to thank the school and the people of Independence for allowing them the op- portunity to publish The Student. The staff is doubly thankful: first, for the chance to gain the experience in practical newspaper workg and second for being able to play a definite part in the school life of I. H. S. Anyone doubting the veracity of the last statement has only to imagine what a bore school life would be without a school newspaper of some sort. The bud- ding journalistsi' hope that next yearis O. O. Mclntyres, Will Rogerses, and Arthur Brisbanes will enjoy their work as well as we have. Page 57 TB T T Q . vw-aff' Orange and Black The Orange and Black, like all things, has evolved. From a shaky start it has grown to be an established institution of known quality and quantity. The first issue, that of 1911, was entitled the Lucky 'Leven. The editor was John DeVine and Mr. Castillo was the sponsor, a position which he held until 1923. Editorials, debate speeches, and orations were printed. The title was The Orange and Black in 1912 with Ivan Wright as editor. The Who of the Hoodoo edited by Ben Taylor with the first kodak pages appeared the following year. The 1914 edition was The Oriole. Hal Marshall, editor, had the novel idea of placing a baby picture of each senior beside his large picture. After 1915 the title was The Orange and Black. The pilot that year was Joe Mahan. Glenn Connelly and Kenneth Bundy were the leaders in '16 and '17 respectively. The influence of the War began to show in the 1918 annual of which Clarence Oakes was the editor. The next year Marlin Reppert as editor received the experience that qualifies him for his present position as sponsor. A gem from that book which featured the war motif in art was: The photographer said Rep's head wasn't quite right, but Cal said it never was. Editing the 1920 annual was the task that fell to Claire Doc Goodell. The year following the same task was completed by Harold Anderson. The editor's chair was occupied by Ray Frampton in 1922 and Earl Hussong in- herited it the next year. In 1924 Mr. Reppert became the sponsor and the annual was printed at the high school for the first time, having been printed by the Tribune previous- ly. Wayne Harris fell heir to the editorship that year. Junior pictures appeared for the first time the next year during James Gilmore's reign. The book was dedicated to Mr. Castillo for the second time in 1926 while William Smith sat at the editor's desk as did Howard Wycoff in 1927. By this time The Orange and Black began to conform to the lines it now follows and look more familiar. Hiel Pugh filled the high exhalted post of editor in 1928 and was followed by Robert Turner in 1929. Jack Raglin served his term in 1930 and was succeeded by Richard Murrow who in turn turned over the reigns to Herbert Meyer. Charles Olson exercised the guiding hand in 1933. The only girl ever to be editor was Mary Louise Aubuchon of the Class of '34, This brings things down to the present. Before any self-commendation can go to the staff, due praise must be given to Mr. Reppert. It is he who is the beacon light. None but he spent many hours figuring out the intricate printing job. lt is he who sholders the re- sponsibility and is the foundation without which the staff would crumble. Mr. Reppert cannot be the recipient of too much credit. Page 58 Top row, left to right: Yue, Bowen, Gray, Lynch, Emens Brook . B S D le B hl R II t Bottom row: rown, age, ew n, ae , ever. The fine help of Mr. Brown must not be overlooked, Although confining himself to the mounting of many kodak panels and proofreading, he did his job well and one can ask for nothing better. The staff realizes that it is only on the level of the average staff and is not super-human. But it does feel highly honored to be chosen to edit the 1935 edition of The Orange and Black. The editor was Tom Yoe who did no more nor no less than the position demanded. It was his job to assign or write stories, do copyreading, and act as general flunky. Louise Bowen was the associate- editor. It was her duty to compile the list of songs that appear under the seniors' names. The sports editor was Kenneth Brooks whose task was the writing of the sports stories which was no little job. Betty Emens and Margaret Lynch were the kodak editors. Martha Gray had the job of collecting enough jokes to fill the empty spots. A large amount of recognition must go to the back-shop fellows. Tom Baehl, as business manager, was of inestimable value in securing advertising, mounting pictures, and as another flunky. Jim Dewlen was the other business manager. Herbert Sage assisted in the printing. For the mistakes in this book, and there are many, we are completely penitent and apologetic. We have tried our best to publish a book of which the school may be proud: Unhappily the decision is yours to make and not ours. We trust that your judgement will not be too harsh keeping in mind that we are only high school students and this quip: If We pep the book up, we are moronsg if we don't, we are pious Puritans. If we are original, we are boring, if we use exchanges, we are too lazy to write. You are thinking that this came from an exchange and you're right, It came from an old annual.

That number was somewhat smaller than that of the year before. 'Lhe club was under the direction of Miss Irene Reid while Treva Thompson was the accompanist. The class time was spent in the singing of many different types of songs. S6V91'3,1 times during the year the girls sang in trios and sextets. Conforming to the new style in singing almost all of the worx of the club was done unac- companied. A goodly portion of the time was spent in practicing exercises for musical expression and in learning volcalizations. This work was found to be both interesting and invaluable to good singing. Although twenty seniors were members, the prospects for next year are good as there is much promising talent in the chorus classes. Shortly before Christmas the club went caroling at the homes of the shut-ins and aged of the community. A group of the following twelve girls sang in assemblies and in exchange programs at Cherryvale, Sedan, and Cotfeyville. The girls were: first sopranos -Marjorie Smith, Helen Woodman, Margaret Lynch, and Louise Russell, sec- ond sopranos-Eleanor Cavert, Maxine Lippy, Naida Sharpe, and Helen Deane Gibson, altos-Martha Gray, Jean Marie Knott, Charlotte Cox, and Margaret Conner. The club played an important part in the success of the operetta, And It Rainedn, Besides furnishing a large share of the choruses, two members, Louise Russell and Beverly Sheldon, played major parts. At Christmas the boys and girls united to sing Handel s Hallelujah Chorus from The Messiah at an union service at Memorial Hall, The girls who sang in the special Easter chorus were: Maxine Bloom- berg, Margaret Lynch, Betty Brune, Marjorie Smith, Naida Sharpe, Louise Russell, Charlotte Cox, Martha Gray, Frances James, Gertrude Wesley, Mar- garet Conner, and Virginia Cole. April 26 the club went to Pittsburg for the contest held during the annual music festival. The two numbers sang were the required number, Music When Soft Voices Die by Robertson, and the optional number, The SHOWVU by the late Edward Elgar. Q The final appearance of the year was made when the seniors of the club Joined with the seniors of the Boys' Glee Club and sang at the Commencement exercises at the Memorial Hall.

Searle, Loomer, Gr O Reed Boys' Glee Club The Boys' Glee Club under the able direction of Miss Irene Reid has made an enviable record this year. Whenever needed the club has responded with numbers for assembly. Its members also played an important part in the operetta And It Rained , which was presented by the vocal departments of the high school and junior college. If numbers alone were a criterion of quality, the quality of this year's organization would be assured. An enrollment of thirty-three is boasted as compared with a mere nineteen of last year. While the group as a whole showed up well, the bass section exhibited remarkable ability for high school students. From the club a group of fourteen boys was selected by Miss Reid to sing at the exchange assembly programs presented at neighboring towns. Because of a dearth of first tenors, a quartet was not selected, but three members assisted by a non-member formed a capable one. The personnel of the quartet was: Leland Shepard, first tenorg Fred Beal, second tenor, Bob Graves, baritoneg Don Reed, bass. This year s group has been one of the hardest working groups in the history -of the organization. Because of their intense interest the members have enjoyed as Well as mastered many songs of various degrees of difficulty. Their hard work was quite noticeable at the Tri-State Music Contest sponsored by the Pittsburg State Teachers College. The Glee Club picnic at Table Mound will long be remembered as the perfect climax of a year filled with fun, work, and pleasant friendships. The feeling is shared by all members of the club that although their music educa- tion will probably not yield them any material profit in later life, it will re- turn to them many intangible profits. While none intend to be professional musicians, they have learned the principles of group singing. They can go forth from school and be prepared to take their places in church choirs, singing societies, and even barber shop quartets . All of which points towards a better and more enjoyable life. The closing of the school year saw the ranks of the club thinned ap- preciably by graduation. The senior members made their last apearance when they sang two numbers as part of the Commencement program, Page 61 Gill I :mamma-www Personnel of Orchestra First Violin Mary Jane Mibeck Helen Owen Jim Burdette Wayne Chritton Billie Weaver Virginia Spellman Patricia Boomis Josephine Aubuchon Treva Thompson Mildred Watkins Marguerite Scott Phyllis Cates Bonnie Jean Trotter Nelda Dominy Frances Wilson Helen Scranton Cliffie Mae Stapp Second Violin Ruth Crosson Maxine Lawler Julius Fitz Juanita Adams Eldo Cordes Harry Gorrell Gladys Dunn Geraldine Keath Betty Staff-Ord Marjorie Chaney Florence Clement George Lohner Ernest Faulk Darrell Wininger Gail Thompson Nelda Head Edward Heckman Mark Lesslie Viola Evelyn Amos Jean Conner Jane Cowles Mary Boner Jewell Clarkson Maxine La Duke Mary Miller Virginia Mills Evelyn Smith Lois Ferrell 'Cello Pauline Elder Gladys Owen Georgia Lundrigan Dorothy Losey Loma Jane Robley Phyllis Schoenfeldt Marjorie Stevens Alma Doster Kathryn Nickerson Margaret Reed Bass Viol Middo Garr Lola McGuire Mary Virginia Wallen Betty Gwartney Flute Bill Miller Bob St. Helens Oboe Kenneth Dominy Leland Shepard Bassoon Burks Sherwood Philip Davis Clarinet Tom Yoe Oscar Reed Luther Fowler Bill Hille Trumpets Leo Pitts Bill Hight Bob Silger French Horn John Wilkerson Lawson Runyon Max Campbell Wilmer Kingsley Bass Trombone Roy Howell Trombone Orval McDaniel Dick Webb Drums Fredinand Pence Winfred Nash Carl Way Margaret Conner Page 62 Flute Loretta Gobel Margaret Conner Picciolo Bill Miller Bob St. Helens Oboe Leland Shepard Kenneth Dominy Clarinet Tom Yoe Luther Fowler Oscar Reed Bill Hille Robert Moses Cleo Bateman Paul Atkisson Martha Stumph Barbara Head Roberta Donaldson Eleanor Swanson Viola Lang Bonnie Jean Ballou Ruth Henry Elizabeth James George Mann Donald Dewey Byron Caskey William Orr fPagei63' Personnel of Band Alto Clarinet Irma Nance Bass Clarinet Leon Denney Saxophones George Jones Ruth Hampton James Dewlen George Watson Cornet Leo Pitts Lloyd Stephenson Trumpets Bill Hight Clarence Fowler Bob Silger James Danforth Flugelhorn Juanita Newell French Horn John Wilkerson Lawson Runyon Max Campbell Wilmer Kingsley Euphonium Roy Howell Wayne Adams Charles Wadman Trombone Harold White Orval McDaniel Dick Webb Gale Hendrix Sousaphone Burks Sherwood Philip Davis Calvin Howard Percussion Winfred Nash Bernard Fennimore Fredinand Pence Carl Way Gordon French 'Cello Pauline Elder Gladys Owen String Bass Middo Garr Lola McGuire Maneuver Drum Major Leland Barnes Twirling Drum Majors Eldo Cordes Bernard Fennimore Top row lft t ght: Ringle,Clark, Thompson, Wininger, Buffenbarger, Sullivan.

Senior Girl Reserves Purpose of the Girl Reserve club: To stimulate a feeling of friendliness in the school and community, and to advance the cause of Christian leadership and character among our members. The Senior Girl Reserve club, with its code and aims representing the Christian standards and ideals of the school, has this year been successful in everything H has undertaken. Independence had the 1uivHege of being hostess to the annual Gid Reserve conference held, October 26 to 28, for aH the large high schools of the state in addition to the southeast district. Out of t-own registered delegates numbered 313.,The programs were built around the theme Life Has Loveliness to SelP'taken fronithe poen1HBartefQ by Sara Teasdale Bo-Peep,IAtde Nhss Bluffeh hlother Cloose, and other wveH knovvn characters vvere present at the cleverly planned Mother Goose banquet which was enjoyed by 400 out-of- town and local guests. Miss Florence Stone, state Y. W. C. A. secretary, was the speaker at the consecration service xvhich concluded the conference. Because of the cooperation of the local Y. W. C, A. and many individuals of the city udth thelocalclub and sponsors,the conference was pronounced a success Biany social service projects in charge of the service cornnihtee wvere carried out and have been of great value to the community. At Thanksgiving a number of baskets were sent to the needy. A Christmas party was given for thirty-four less fortunate children. Gifts were taken to the Mexican children at the cement plant, brickyard, and the Santa Fe settlements. For Easter the members fixed baskets of eggs for the poor children of the community. The first cabinet meeting, for the purpose of discussing the work of the club for the present year,xvas held at the beginning of the year in the forni of an all day retreat at Pawnee Lodge. The cabinet has met regularly every rnonth in the honms of the nunnbers to plan and put into acdon the club projects. The club meetings have been held every two weeks during activity period. Although there was no theme chosen this year, the programs have been uphfUng,enjoyabla and weH planned by Huzprogranlconunhiee The cabinet of this year was composed of: Jennie Mae Stewart, presi- dent: Ruth llehnan, vkxwpresidentg Rdargaret Jean Tdunnpson, secretaryg and Geraldine Ringle, treasurer.

The local organization adds to this and only by being a service club may its existence be justified. ' In the carrying -out of this pledge numerous activities are under- taken. At the beginning of each semester a book exchange is operated. This eliminates large commissions in the exchange of second hand books. During the football season, pencils bearing the schedule are sold. At the school athletic contests the Hi-Y handles the concessions. The club is proud of the fact that the business men of the community often 'call upon it to perform services. That all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy is recognized by the Hi-Y, and it plans its activities accordingly. Several Wiener roasts , a movie line-party, and the annual mixer ' in the gym were held during the past year. The programs also contained a goodly portion of entertainment. This play , balanced by the work required of each member in the previously mentioned activities make an ideal Hi-Y combination. The service required prevents the club from becoming a haven for dead-beats . The club is quite prowd of its members who attended Camp Wood last summer. Of the three honor awards given, the local cabin brought home two. Again this summer the club will be well represented. The officers for this year have been: Tom Yoe, president, Tom Baehl, vice-presidentg Fred Beal, secretary: Oakley Reesman, treasurer, Stewart De- Vore, program chairmang James Allen, service chairmang Leland Shepard, Bible study chairman: and Bob Stewart, publicity chairman, It would be unfair to the clubs of former years to say that this year's groun was the best -of all, for there is no accurate measuring stick. However, the 1935 group refuses to be ranked among any but the more successful ones. No group for years has contained so many live wires '. The success of the football pencil sale was unprecedented. Four boys sold over a hundred pencils, a feat which heretofore only about one would accomplish. Francis McGee sold 210 pencils. The other activities showed evidence of the same enthusiasm. T ' ' ' 'Any credit due the club should be divided equally between the boys and Daggett, the sponsor, whose never ending efforts have made the club what 1 now is.

The purpose of this organization is to encourage scholarship, leadership, service, and a worthy character on the part of the students. These require- ments for entrance have been considered the four highest standards that can be obtained during a person's high school career. The primary requisite is scholarship, but the founder of the Society. deciding that a member should posess something more than scholastic intelli- gence, later added the other three requirments needed in the living of a truly beneficial life. Leadership, the second fundamental, it has been agreed, is a great factor in the determining of one's future success. Leadership may be interpret- ed to mean dependability in performing tasks, and it is also a strong asset. Service in the school, at home, in one's community, and in the business world is the third important ingredient needed in successful living. The most important standard which every person eligible for the Honor Society membership must measure up to is character. A desirable character is really the sum total of all the other requirements which have been mentioned. Surely a person posessing these merits is well on the road to sucess, not necessarily financial success, but the kind that pays intangible dividends. The National Honor Society was originally established by the Phi Beta Sigma, and founded in 1900 by Dr. Owen of the Chicago Normal College, The Independence chapter was created under the supervision of Mr. Friley twelve years ago. The present sponsor is Miss Arvilla Jarrett. The symbol which designates membership in the Society is a small gold pin on which is engraved 3 glOYViH2-Z t01'Ch bearing the letters S. S. L. C. ', indicating the four require- ments. This ten-karat pin is a gift from the school to the members. The Society this year is composed of nine seniors, seven of whom were elected in their junior year, while the remaining two were elected this year. This membership may seem small for a school of this size, but due to the rigid requirements adhered to by the local organization, only those who are qualified are admitted. Because most of the members are busy in other activities, the Society is not active. The officers for 1934-35 are as follows: president, Fred Bealg vice-president, Mary Jane Mibeckg secretary, Helen Deane Gibsong and trea- surer, Jessie Bradbury.

Uur forefathers spent months crossing the Atlantic, we now speak of the day when we will fly across the same body of Water for a Week-end visit to London or Paris. And we actually do send messages around the world in the twinkling of an eye. Due to this evolution in transportation and communication, we find that foreign nations have become our next door neighbors, and due to our proximity to their front door, it behooves us to become better acquainted With them in order that We may be more neighborly. With this view in mind the International Club was organized by Vice-Brincipal Maust in February, 1931. Specifically, the club attempts to foster a better understanding of international relations and to create an interest in national affairs. To accomplish this purpose, the club invites to its meetings various individuals Within the community who have lived or traveled in foreign countries. In this Way the customs and traditions of neighboring countries are described to the club, interpreted, and discussed. lf speakers cannot be secured, students read accounts of various nations and make reports of their findings to the club. Friendship and understanding between the young people of different na- tions are promoted by giving members an opportunity to correspond with stu- dents in many foreign countries. The personnel of the club is unique this year in that it con- sisted of girls only. Officers elected for the year were: president, Helen Deane Gibson, vice-president, Nora Steinbergerg secretary, Virginia Cole, treasurer, Martha Ann Black. During the last semester of this school year, due to a request from the Kiwanis Club, the regular program was waived and a vocational guidance program was substituted. All students who were not attending other activi- ties were urged to attend these meetings, and as a result the regular attendance was approximately 150. The following are the names of the business men who appeared on the programs and the topics which they presented. K H. E. Floyd, journalismg Dr. C. O, Shepard, medicine, Attorney Oscar O'Brien, lawg H. C. Bergman, banking, L. S. Geckeler, merchandising, Edwin C. Potts, undertaking, and Ralph C. Mitchell, municipal government.

French Club The French Club was organized in 1933 in order to stimulate interest in and increase the knowledge of foreign countries, particularly France. The club was organized by Miss Margaret Gustafson and was under her leadership until her resignation at the end of the first semester this year. Miss Maxele Baldwin, the new modern language instructor, then consented to act as the new sponsor. Last year the club was composed only of members of the first and second year French classes. This year, however, all interested in French were urged to attend meetings, The interest in French is shown by the many non-French students who joined the club. Twenty names were carried on the roll this year. The club members, through an exchange bureau, received the names and addresses of students in France with whom they corresponded during the year, This fostered a better feeling and understanding between the students of the two nations. Not only was that worthy aim partly accomplished, but many in- formative and interesting letters were received. It can well be imagined that the young men and Women of France received many a laugh from the letters written in French which they received from Independence. At several meetings the club was fortunate in having as guest speakers Independence people who had either lived or traveled in France. Mrs. Hart Goodloe gave an especially interesting talk on her life in France. Mr. Henri Frenchy Renandin, who was born in France and emigrated to the United States, also spoke at one of the meetings. Other meetings of the year were devo- ted to the learning and playing -of French songs and games. Periods were desig- nated during which English was tabu and only French was to be spoken. While this appeared to be difficult, the members found that they could get along with the use of a few stock phrases. Notwithstanding the fact that vocabular- ies were sadly limited and thus ordinary conversation handicapped, an enjoy- able time was had by all during these periods. During the year three of the members of the club presented in assembly a skit entitled Le Medecin Mystifiei' or The Tricked Oculist . The members of the cast were Jessie Marie Bradbury, Mary Jane Mibeck, and Edward Davis. Officers for the year were: president, Jessie Marie Bradburyg vice-pres- ident, Marjorie Smith, secretary-treasurer, Ethyle Furnas.

Art is sometimes thought to be non-essential in the school curriculum. As a means of combating this erroneous idea and increasing the appreciation of art among the students of I. H. S. the Daubers Club was organized by the art classes of 1928. Ever since that time it has taken its place in the activities of the school. Being an art organization, the club tries to foster appreciation and knowledge of art among non-art students as well as among its members. In former years the club has sponsored art exhibits, devoting the revenue thus raised to the purchasing of reproductions of great paintings. These copies are distributed through the r-ooms of the school buildings. If it is true that only a few ever notice these paintings, it is equally as true that many are missing a real pleasure. The Daubers Club wishes here to request that any person desiring an eyeful of sheer beauty just Watch some of these pictures instead of the clock when he has few minutes to spare. Last year much interest Was evidenced by members in the making of marionettes. This year interest has been divided among various projects including enamel plaques, pen and ink drawings, leather tooling, and Christ- mas cards. Each student is free to select his own project and work on it during activity period, or he may devote this time to his regular class project. At several of the meetings the time Was spent in the sketching of portraits' with some remarkably good results being obtained. Since it is believed that art can best be learned through practical experience, the meetings were devoted to actual art Work. As a result few speakers were heard during the year. The officers of the past year were: president, Anne Brown, secretary- treasurer, J. C. Clayton. The membership of the club was not exceptionally large, but was above average. Although not claiming many members, the club does claim that the members were in it for a purpose. Miss Old, the art instructor of the school, is the sponsor. The members of the club at this time wish to thank Miss Old for devoting so much of her time to their project. Page 69 Y 1 Ks? ii m ig: ll? A pep rally gives the team a send-off ' ....

Junior Girl Reserves Because of the large number of junior high girls who are interested in Girl Reserve work, it has been necessary each year t-o divide them into two groups, the Blue Star and the Blue Triangle. The officers of the Blue Star Girl Reserves were: president, Wilma Rameyg vice-president, Helen Miller, secretary, Mary Katherine Serfassg trea- surer, Eleanor Swanson. The sponsors were Miss Wahl and Miss Tulloss. Of the Blue Triangle group Miss Crocker and Miss McNiel were the sponsors, and the officers: Mary Ann Bowen, president, Florence Clement, vice-presidentg Bonnie Ballou, secretary, Kitty Marie Woodman, treasurer. Taking the motto, To find and give the best , and the Girl Reserve code as the foundation of their meetings, both groups secured many interesting pro- grams. A special effort was made to include the spiritual, social, and service ideals of the organizations in each meeting. Each meeting consisted in part of readings and music with a definite purpose. Each group met separately every two weeks, alternating with the Jun- ior G. A. A. Because of that fact and the weeks during which no activities were held, only fifteen meetings were held during the year. However, each of these programs was a treasure chest of interest and inspirati-on. Some of the ladies of the community who addressed the groups were: Mrs. Bergman, Mrs. Gansel, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Humbert, Mrs. Courtright, and Jean Marie Knott. A multitude of subjects of interest to young girls were covered. For a fall outdoor recreational event a picnic Was held at Riverside Park. At Thanksgiving the annual custom of preparing baskets for the less fortunate was again followed. For the Christmas social service projects, names were drawn by members for the giving of gifts to the Mexican children of the community. Although of limited financial means, the two clubs did their part in the financial drive of the local Young Women's Christian Association. A large group will be lost this year, but the loss of the junior clubs is the gain of the senior club. Many thanks and much praise must be given to the four ladies who sponsored the clubs. Since the members are young, naturally there was a great amount of responsibility placed upon the sponsors. Because of their work and devotion to the Girl Reserve principles and the fine cooperation of the girls themselves, the past year can be called an unqualified success.

O. Heckethorn, That organization was the Junior Hi-Y. Mr. Heckethorn is still serving as sponsor, The Junior Hi-Y was formed with the idea of getting younger boys into Y. M. C. A. activities before they attained college age. The purpose of the Hi-Y as stated in the manual is: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian Character. No long and platitudinous platform is needed. The principles of the club can be expressed in the four short planks: HClean speecln clean sport clean scholarship, and clean living. An annual custom observed again this year was to fill baskets of food f-or the needy at Christmas time. During the past year three families were cared fon To supply the necessary xvorking capiun for the year, pencHs bearing the basketball schedules were sold by the club members. Another source of revenue was the selling of candy in the halls. The weekly meetings held each Friday during activity period were above the usual standard this year. Several outside speakers were heard who brought both entertainment and an inspiring message. A new innovation was the hold- ing of debates and oratorical contests among the members. Although not producing any golden flow of oratory that will live forever, a good time was had by aH. p The officers for the past year were: president, Dick Webb, vice- presidenu Lynellllughesg secretarydmeasuren Junior Stevens. The following boys, accompanied by Mr. Heckethorn, attended Camp Wood, near Emporia, last summer: Dick Webb, Junior Stevens, Stanley Strain, Arthur Knott, Burks Sherwood, Stanley Porter, and Dwaine Pendleton. Another large group is expected to attend again this summer. A large delegation including the newly elected officers attended the district convention held at Sedan, hfay 17. Because of the youth of the club no large projects can be atunnpted, but the Junior Hi-Y serves as a valuable training gr-ound for future members of the senior club and the Y. M. C. A. If it succeeds in instilling the Hi.-Y spirit into its members, the club has more than served its purpose. 'The club ndshes to take this opportunity to thank BJr.IIeckethorn for his many years of faithful services to the Hi-Y cause. Dealing with younger boys, many have been the moments in which his patience has been sorely tried. But to his everlasting credit he has always handled situations tactfully and re- tained the respect of allthe boys.

This systeni of basketball was supplemented by a series of nine games played W1EI1 the junior nign teams from nearby towns. The team representing lndependence in these games was a picked group of the outstanding intlamural players. l'ne local boys were able to win iive of the nine outside games, and enjoyed a fairly successiul season. At the beginning of the DHSKGIDBII season twenty teams of boys were or- ganized. Each team had a roster of irom seven to nine boys, making a total of nearly one hundred seventy boys competing in basketball. Much team spirit was created by self-picked team names, captains, and team colors. Rivalry was keen the entire season, and new court talent was developed by the intramural type of competition. Two leagues were formed, one consisting of only seventh grade boys, and having ten teams. This league was known as the American League. The National League was composed of ten teams of the upper classmen of the junior high. During the season, a single round robin schedule was carried out in each league, and at the end of the regular schedule, a tournament was held in each league. The following table shows the standings of the teams at the close of the season. National League American League Team W L Pct. Team W L Pct.

Page 84 Junior High Track At the opening of the 1934 track season, six returning lettermen were available for competition in the junior high school. These lettermen were: Scott, a lightweight vaulter and dash star, Overfield, a heavyweight who specialized in the dashes, Knight, a heavyweight hurdler and vaulterg Lyons, a heavyweight broad jumper, Harper, a hurdler in the heavyweight class, and Vanderford, a lightweight hurdler. These lettermen, supplemented by a large group of inexperienced but enthusiastic aspirants, assured the Bullpups of a well balanced track team. The first meet -of the season, as usual, was the interclass meet. In this meet, the combined forces of the seventh and eighth grades were pitted against the ninth grade boys. This meet resulted in an easy victory for the ninth graders, The Bullpups next journeyed to Humboldt to engage their junior high in a dual contest. The meet was held on April 20, 1934. Led by Overfield, Van Ross, and Knight in the Heavyweight division, and by Scott, Osborne, and Vanderford in the lightweight division, the Bullpups emerged victors by an 35 to 69 count. The next meet, which was the final one for the local boys, was held at Riverside Park on May 10, 1934. Chanute and Humboldt combined with In- dependence to make this a very fast triangular meet. In this meet, Chanute won first place, with the Bullpups in second place by a safe margin. The scores were 72 to 66 to 46. The following boys were awarded track letters at the close of the sea- so11: Orlin Hamilton, William Fields, Bernard Scott, Dick Overfield, Junior Stevens, Cecil Thompson, J. L. Vanderford, William Van Ross, Howard Harper, Bill Knight, and Melvin Osborne. Of this number, Harper, Thompson, Fields, Stevens, and Overfield were eligible for competition during the 1935 season.

A profes- sor at the college was asked to translate the findings into every- day terms.

Thirty teaspoons of salt, enough to season 25 chickens. Five pounds of lime, enough to white wash a chicken coop. Ten gallons of water. Thirty-one pounds of carbon. Glycerine enough for the burst- ing charge of a heavy navy shell. Enough glutin to make five pounds of glue. Magnesium enough for ten flashlight photos. Fat enough for ten bars of soap Cthis variesj. Enough iron to make a 6-penny nail. Sulphur enough to rid a dog of fleas. And believe it or not, boys, only one quarter of a pound of sugar. -Associated Press QQ ..
