CLEMENT, Superintendent of Schools A. B. McPherson College A. M. University of Kansas A. M. Columbia University Behind the success of every pro-- gressive organization there must be a guiding influence. In the organi- zation of the Independence schools a very capable leader serves as this influence, this man is Superinten- dent J. H. Clement. Being a man of considerable edu- cational experience and having ac- quired recognition as an educator, Superintendent Clement is most ably fitted for his position as head of thc school system, and Independence is quite fortunate in recieving his ser- vices. With a great interest in the high school activities, our superintendent is always present at the athletic contests, plays, assemblies. The student body and faculty are indeed proud of the chief executive of the school system and a fitting tribute and honor to this efficient, progressive, and courteous indivi- dual is the educational reputation established by the Independence city schools. E. R. STEVENS, Principal B. S.' Kansas Sta.c Teaciiers College, Em- pmia M. S. University of Kansas Much of the credit received by the school must be shared with our principal, E. R. Stevens, although he is modest in receiving honors it is through his untiring efforts and keen foresight that Independence high school maintains its high stand- ards in scholarship, athletics, dra- matics, music, and in the trade de- partments. While reluctant in receiving glory, Principal Stevens is quick to accept responsibility and is never to busy to lend his helping hand to some faltering student. Principal Stevens holds a promi- nent position nationally, being Presi- dent of the National Federation of High Schools and also President of the Kansas Activities Association. Due to his foresight and training, Principal Stevens often solves a problem before it becomes serious. For this and many more reasons, we feel that we have a principal of whom we all should be, and are, proud. Page 19 BLACK Page 20 GEORGE D. ALLEN, B. S., M, A.

Latin-Hygiene GEORGIA LEE ROCKWELL, Secretary, Office of the Principal PEARL GRABHAM, Clerk GRANGE Board ol Education An organization of little recognition but of extreme significance in the functioning of the school system is the board of education. Although little attention is given to this governing group by the student body, the board members are constantly planning and carrying on for the betterment of the educational facilities in the Independence school system. The present members of the board are: O. L. O'Brien, presidentg Donald E. Stewart, R. P. Scotty S. E. McDanie1g Edwin Potts, and W. N. White. Ex-officio members are: J. H. Clement, superintendent of schoolsg and Florence Harper, clerk. The members are elected for a term of four years, three members being elected every two years. The work of the board is carried on by four committees, which are finance, teachers, building, grounds, and library, A meeting of the entire board is held regularly each month. Since there are only six members, some are compelled to serve on more than one committee. Because of this fact, each individual member is required to give much time and thought in the operation of a complete school system. In spite of this added burden, each committee functions smoothly and for the prime purpose of a more efficient school system to the tax-payers and citizens of Independence and increased opportunities to the students. The citizens of Independence should be commended upon their splendid chosing of the board members. Each member is a competent business man and respected citizen. In performing the various duties of their positions. the school board must take into consideration all the consequences of any action, and many times the board is placed in a critical position, but always they come to a conclusion which completely justifies all parties concerned. Often faced by financial limitations the board is forced to economize, however, all of the school necessities are had and many added luxuries are available due to their careful discrimination. The student body is deeply grateful for the many opportunities and pleasant conditions which they are afforded due to the work of the board of education.

Senior Class l-listory The Senior Class of 1938 is one of the most outstanding in the Inde- pendence high school history. Being one of the largest classes ever to graduate, the class is well represented in all the school activities, regular and extra- curricular. However, having few outstanding individuals in any of the wide field of activities the class presented a well-rounded participation withieach member striving to do his best. In scholastics, the seniors presented no mental genius, however, having an appreciation for knowledge contained in books, the class as a whole believed a more valuable knowledge was a practical and applicable knowledge, which has its foundation in books, and can be used in everyday life. In athletics, the seniors composed the strength of all teams. In football, most of the team were seniors, the basketball team, which made school history, was almost entirely composed of seniorsg the track, tennis, golf, and swimming teams were also aided greatly by the members of the class of '38, In conclusion the class of 1938 believes it has been a credit to the school of which its members shall always respect and honor. The class believes it has maintained the standards, ideals, and traditions set by past classes and is willing to take its place in the Independence high school records.

Junior Class l-listory Now only a year separates us from that so cherished achievement, which though vivid now shall be even more vivid in the years to come, our graduation. If one had taken the history of the junior class of 1938 with a candid camera it would show a picture clear and outstanding in the educational, physical, and social activities of Independence high school. Taking our camera to the field of athletics we first approach the stadium, there we find a rather crippled, but game, fighting football team. Clyde McGuire, outstanding league tackle, was named an all S. E. K. member by a poll of the coaches. A few months later, leaving the flood lights and taking out our photo flash, we go indoors to see the school's finest basketball team in recent years make school history and also play in the State Tournament. Bob McHenry, dependable guard, was chosen captain and guard on the second all S. E. K. Team. Reducing our shutter speed and leaving the faster lens, we again go out-of-doors and catch track, tennis, and golf action. A good close up of Bob McHenry gaining tennis laurels, Lewis Dreisbach winning runner up in the golf tournament, and the junior class battling the seniors for the inter-class track meet title. l ' IE' The class elected as ofiicers this year: President, Bill Cavertg' Vice President, Betty Jane Stafford, Treasurer, Sue Wagnerg Secretary, Shirley Rauch. The advancement, character, and tenuity of the juniors shall place the picture of the class of '39 as one of the foremost junior classes in I. H.S. history.

CDRANGE AND BLACK CDRAINIGEAND BLACK SOPIIOMORE OFFICERS ---- Left to Right: SIcks, Renner, Carson, Gray. Sophomore Class l-listory With one year down and two to go, we, the class of 1940, eagerly await the day we place our many achievements between the goal posts of success. The two hundred and thirty-nine sophomores have well played their parts in scholarship, athletics, and other activities of the school. The sopho- mores had lettermen in the major sports of football and track, also lettermen in the minor sports, golf, tennis, and swimming. The sophomores were well represented in the band, orchestra, and drum corps, to whose strains we marched past the second milestone of our high school careers. An important part is played by sophomores in the Senior G. A. A. having a large membership and three oiiicers, also contributing to the success of the debate team with two members in the class. In school spirit the class is always willing in pep and sportmanship. One will always find the sophomores giving all they have in the cheering sections at the athletic contest, whether winning or losing the game, proud of the team and the school. Officers for the sophomore class of 1938 are, Ralph Sicks, President, Virginia Renner, Vice-President, Jimmy Gray, Secretary, Wilma Lee Carson, Treasurer. The sophomore class is determined, in two remaining years to raise GVGH higher the standards and ideals of Independence high school and make the class of 1940 one to be remembered in the years to come.

Boys, Glee Club Having the smallest enrollment in recent years, the boys' glee cub was composed of fourteen members. Due to the resignation of Miss Reid at the end of the first semester, the group was under the able direction of Miss Bertha Gish the last semester. Since there were only fourteen members the class was able to devote their time to more intensive study of the classics, operas, musical history, and modern music. Each member at sometime during the year reviewed a famous opera. The glee club appeared in the assemblies, both junior and senior high, several times during the year and gave splendid programs. However, the group was so small that no public performances were given. In the annual all-school operetta, Jerry of Jericho Road , the glee club played an important part, both collectively, and individually, the entire group sang in the mixed chorus and some of the members had the leading speaking parts. The boys playing important parts were, Frank Lawler, Bill Bowermaster, Glenn Thompson, and R. O. Pennick, Jr. The operetta this year was well given by the glee clubs' and all credit must be shared 'by both boys' and girls' glee clubs and Miss Gish, the new director. Officers of the boys' glee club were, Bob St. Helens, president, and Frank Lawler, secretary-treasurer. Page 52 GRANGE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Top Row: Atkinson, Boner, Buckles, D. Baker, V. Baker, Bowen.

Girls, Glee Club Fifteen seniors, seventeen juniors, and eleven sophomores composed the girls' glee club of 1938, under the direction of Miss Bertha Gish. Until the sec'- ond semester, the club was under the direction of Miss Irene Reid, who resigned her position to become Mrs. Harry Calhoun Mattox. Under Miss Reid the girls studied the grand operas and their composers. She organized a double quartet which, as the glee club, appeared successfully in many public performances. The girls will always regard Miss Reid as one of their dearest friends. She is loved for her inspiring personality and for the en- joyable activities she shared with the club. This year the girls' glee club combined with the boys' glee club and the Junior College to successfully produce the operetta Jerry of Jericho Road under the direction of Miss Gish. The leading feminine roles were played by these members of the glee club: Eleanor Swanson, Margaret Helman, Fern Cherrie, Patricia Davies, Goyne Wass, and Sue Wagner. The dances were under the able direction of Evelyn Marie Parker. The senior mixed chorus under Miss Gish's direction sang Invictus and the traditional Song of Farewell at Commencement. The officers of the girls' glee club of 1938 were president, Eleanor Swan- song secretary, Helen Miller, treasurer, Zella Schaubg Librarian, Fern Cherrieg and assistant librarian, Marjorie Stevens.

Dramatics Club Twenty-six new members were initiated into the Dramatics club at the beginning of the 1937 season. Initiation, under the direction of Miss Ingleman, and carried out by the officers of the club, was held the second week in November in the Nees Hall. The affair was public and thoroughly enjoyed by a large crowd. Two contests were attended in the past year. Independence won first at the Chanute Dramatics Festival with the play, The Man in the Bowler Hat. Having won the cup in '36 the second win entitled the club to permament pos- session of the trophy. Fort Scott was the only other school to win the cup. The contest at Pittsburg was also attended, and Independence finished well up in the standing. Three school long plays were given under the direction of Miss Ingleman. The most successful of these was the first play of the schrol year, Growing Pains. The other plays were Eyes of Tlaloc, and the Senior play. The past year has been a most successful one for the club. Never before in the history of the club have so many new members been initiated into the club at one time. All of the productions have been of the highest Cluality. Officers the past year were: Tom Heinzman, presidentg Kittie Marie Woodman, vice-president, Irma Wise, secretary, Lois Beth Ferrell, treasurer. Page 60 GRANGE DEBATE Anderson, Ferrell, Furnas,Meu5chke,Goering fsponsorj. Debate To John W. Goering, a newcomer to the faculty this year, must be given the credit for whatever success the Debate team has attained. He has given unstintingly of his time, not only to the team as a whole but also to the in- dividual members. P The first tournament of the 1937-38 debate season was held at Pittsburg on November 19 and 20. Only one team entered, which survived the preliminary rounds but lost in the eleminations. At an invitational tournament at Coffey- ville, December 3 and 4, the Independence team was eliminated by Seminole. Taking a larger group to the Topeka Tourney on December 11, 12, the team of Anderson and Ferrell won five out of six debates, making a fine showing for Independence. On January 20 and 21, the team competed at Wellington. In the Emporia tourney January 27, 28, the team of Ferrell and Anderson advanced to the quarter-finals. The District and Southeast Kansas League Tournament was held at Parsons on February 4. The schools participating were Pittsburg, Ft. Scott, Chanute, Coffeyville, and Independence. Independence advanced to the final round but were defeated by Coffeyville for the title, the decision being very close. Invited to the state tournament because of their league showing, the team journeyed to Lawrence February 25 and 26. This tournament being the most important of the year was the season's climax. However, Newton won the state title and the local team failed to place. Members of the debate team were: Betty Meuschke, Marjorie Anderson. Junior Furnas, Lois Beth Ferrel, and Byron Caskey, To these students and Mr. Goering belong the credit of maintaining the standards set by teams of past years.

Hlhe lnolcpenclence Studentu A candid camera study of Independence high school would be in- complete without a view of the school publication, The Student. This news- paper, published weekly, is truly a school project in that it is edited and printed entirely in the school. The journalism class under the direction of Hugh C. Brown writes all the stories and the printing classes under the direction of M. F. Reppert do the make up work, or that of putting the paper together, and the printing. It is largely through The Student that the people of Independence are kept abreast of the activities and attitudes of the student body. The merchants of the town help in no small way to keep the paper going by advertising, and by lending their support to its projects. Every year at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, is held a state journalism conference, and this conference is attended annually by Mr. Brown and some delegates from the journalism class. This year those who attended were Lois Beth Ferrel, Mary Ann Bowen, Fern Cherrie, Margaret Helman, and Goyne Wass. To the budding journalist The Student offers experience that is practically indispensable, and to the student body in general it offers a source of news that would be found in no other place. The Student has come to be as much a part of the school as the classes and professors.

HQrange and Black One of the outstanding events at the close of each school year is the issuing of the yearbook, the Orange and Black. This book is made possible by the combined efforts of Hugh C. Brown, journalism teacher, Marlin Reppert and his printing classes, and the Orange and Black Staff. Although too much credit cannot be given Mr. Brown and Mr. Reppert, the staff composed of journalism and printing students actually write and prepare the material of which the book is made. The editor-in-chief serves as the supervisor and his duties are writing and assigning stories, editing copy, read- ing proof, typing stories and data, arranging pictures, and many other duties which may arise during the preparation of the book. The editor is assisted by the two associate editors in any way possible. The joke editors gather and prepare the jokes. The kodak pictures are taken and arranged by the two kodak editors. Sports are under the duties of the sport editors, and the business managers take care of the advertisements and printing. The staff of 1938 is composed of Dick Webb, editor-in-chiefg Margaret Helman and Goyne Wass, associate editorsg Fern Cherrie and Bette Shook, joke editors: Joe Hall and Derrel Haberly, sport editorsg George Mann, Jim Danforth, and Bob Banks, business managersg Geraldine Freels and Alberta McBride, kodak editors. Mr. Reppert has sponsored the Annual since 1924.

Senior Girl Reserves The Girl Reserves represent the teen-age group of the Y. W. C. A. The symbol of the club is a blue triangle representing body, mind, and spirit. In the regular club meetings held every two Weeks, this three-fold life is developed. The club has a membership of 152 girls this Year, each girl taking an active part in the work of the club by being a member of at least one of the nine standing committees. In accordance with the usual custom the club presented Thanksgiving baskets to needy families. At Christmas the Devotions committee placed lighted Christmas trees in both buildings, an act greatly appreciated by the student body. The Service and Social committees jointly sponsored the annual party given for 35 small poor children. The Service committee finished piecing and tacked a Wool comfort which they gave to a needy family. At Easter time baskets of colored eggs were given to poor children. This committee also supervised the giving of gifts to 50 Mexican children at the cement plant, the brickyard, and the Santa Fe settlement.

Senior I-Ii-V Attemting to maintain the standard of previous Hi-Y clubs, the club this year believes it has accomplished that goal. Although noticeably handi- capped by the absence of Rufus L. Daggettg the club's new sponsor, Harold S. Choguill, served in a capable manner in his first year in Hi-Y work. Mr. Dagg- ett, the sponsor for 12 previous years, resigned at the close of last year and was replaced by Mr. Choguill, the new chemistry professor. While still in the organizing stage the club successfully acted as hosts to the visiting towns, in the Fredonia District, in the semi-annual meeting October 12. Nearly one hundred and fifty men and boys, from all over this sec- tion of the state, attended the conference and Independence was given credit for conducting one of the most successful district meeting in past few years. As in previous years the finances of the club were raised by dues, pencil and candy sales, and the book exchange. The Hi-Y with the Girl Reserves held their second annual Box Supper on February 10, which proved to be quite en- joyable and profitable. Officers of this years club were, President, Dick Webb, Vice Presi- dent, Joe Hallg Secretary, Bill Condon, Treasurer, Lynell Hughes. The officers and members sincerely believe that this year has been most successful and beneficial to the members, school, and community. Page 65 84 BLACK SENIOR G. A. A.

The purpose of this organization is to give to all girls outdoor and indoor sports. Every Monday evening after school the girls may play volley ball, or armory ball, and every Wednesday evening they have the opportunity to swim. The intramural system which is used by the Senior G. A. A. allows awards to all girls having the proper number of points given for C15 unorgan-V ized activities such as bicycling, golf, horseshoe pitching, skating, swimming, tennis, or hiking and C21 organized activities such as volley ball, basket ball, armory ball, and swimming. The girls also have achievement tests and health hygiene. For every hour of organized activity a member receives seven points: every hour of unorganized activity she receives three and one-half points. The first award, that is given, requires 600 points. The second award, is awarded to each girl who has earned 500 additional points to her first 600. The final is a gold pin with the letter K , For this honor it is necessary to have a total of 1400 points. The officers this year are president Elizabeth Heckmang vice-president Betty McGuire, secretary, Virginia Rennerg treasurer, Kathryn Ewing.

This year the Pep Club has worked out numerous pep assemblies and pep ral- lies to arouse enthusiam in the student body. A new idea was initiated this year in having an alumni banquet for the old Pep club members. This banquet was held the night before the annual Thanksgiving fray between Coffeyville and Independence. This banquet proved to -be quite sucessful with Kittie Marie Woodman acting as toastmistress. At the half of the Thanksgiving game, Betty McGuire, a member of the club was crowned as the I. H. S. Football Queen . The other members of the Pep Club acted as attendants to the queen. Each year the Pep Club entertains the football squad at a banquet. This year the girls'drum and bugle corps assisted the club in giving the banquet The banquet was held at the Masonic Temple. Colorful decorations of orange and black adorned the dining hall. Margaret Helman presided as toastmistress. The officers of the Pep Club this year, were: president, Margaret Helman, vice-president, Mildred Crossong secretary, Kittie Marie Woodmang treasurer, Virginia Reno.

Vocational Club The Vocational club was organized in the fall'of 1936 through the efforts of Howard Overton, sponsored by Mr. W. L. Friley and Mr. Bowen. The purpose of the club is To extend our knowledge of the work-a-day- world. Meetings were held every two weeks and many very interesting speak- ers attended the meetings. During the year the club has gone on two trips. One to the O.C.S. and Acme Foundry in Coffeyville where the boys went through the various depart- ments, returning with a greater knowledge of the manufacture of oil country specialties and foundry work. Earlier in the year the boys visited the Oakes and Tribune print shops an the Independence Daily Reporter. Other trips were made to the Atchison Revolving Door Company and to the new Trade School at Chanute. The officers of the club are: John Lolley, president, Luther Holstine, vice-presidentg Jack Miller, secretary-treasurer, Since there is no vocational guidance offered in the regu,lar school curriculum, Mr. Friley, woodwork instructor, and Mr. Bowen, machine shop in- structor, founded the organization which has proven to be one of the foremost activities of the school. In accomplishing their primary purpose which is the aiding and instruct- ing of each member in choosing his future life's work, the Vocational Club believes this year has been a complete success.

School Spirit Independence high school has been noted for its fine spirit and good sportsmanship. In all the athletic contests this year the students have always been good winners and good losers. It is no small job to keep up the spirit of the student body Whether our team is winning or losing. But the cheerleaders have done their job faithfully, attending most of the home and out of town games and creating pep and enthusiasm in the student body. The cheerleaders this year were all seniors. They were Eleanor Swanson, Lynnell Hughes, Helen Miller, and Bill Orr. There are several members of the faculty who play an important part in contributing to our athletic achievements. L. E. Losey who is head of the athletic department has a thankless job in arranging many schedules. Coach Jog Allen has been responsible for turning out our football team and to him much credit is due. Earl Bevan has coached the basketball and track teams and brought glory to our Alma Mater. ' Because of the fine spirit of fair play and cooperation Irldeiende-Ii-ce-higli school has always shown, it is rated quite high in Kansas in the field of sport. The attitude of the student body as a whole has been sportshianlikiaiidl admirable. Each event, Whether fair weather or bad, has been excellently sup- ported. The students were courteous to our guests and by their actions demon- st1'ated the true Independence Spirit .

Although not so strong in the win column, the team displayed true Bulldog spirit. Injuries seemed to haunt the Bulldog camp throughout the 1937 season and full strength was had only in the initial game with the league champions. Pittsburg, and in the closing contest with Coffeyville. Off to a strong start the Bulldogs led in the closely contested Pittsburg game during the entire battle but were overtaken in the closing minutes 13-7. Continuing their play on foreign grounds, they were slightly outplayed in a 6-0 defeat by Parsons. With renewed strength the locals carried a mud battle by the aerial route over Fort Scott 27-0, on the home field. The Bulldogs then journeyed to Wellington, where nearly every member of the team recieved some sort of injury, and were defeated 12-0 by the strong Westerners. Coming back home, the cripples fought to a 0-0 tie with Columbus. At Chanute the Canines were smothered to the tune of 27-0 by the Comets' last-half raid. The score at the half being only 7-0. Neodesha invaded the Bulldog camp and won 14-0 decison from the still weakened Bulldogs. The losing streak was continued at Fredonia, 20-0. Coming back in the last two games the Bulldog machine turned in a 7-0 win as the result of remarkable teamwork at Iola, and were barely downed by Coffeyville 6-O in the Turkey-Day classic.

Basketball Independence basketball teams, for the past few years mediocre, has regained a place of prominence in the state, due to the skillful guidance of Coach E. R. Bevan. The past season has a tremendous success and to Coach Bevan and his boys belong the credit. As a climax of the season the team was invited to the State Tournament at Topeka for the first time in fifteen years and were defeated by the winner, Ward of Kansas City, 39-29. After dropping three pre-holiday practice games, the team began dis- playing their fight and cooperation and also began winning, downing Caney, Neodesha Iola, Pittsburg, Parsons, and Fort Scott to register four league wins. Established as a title contender the team's hopes were 'blasted by a humiliating Columbus defeat, due partly to a slippery floor, while still off stride Chanute and Coffeyville pushed the Bulldogs down to a final league standing of fourth place. However, during the regular season, Caney and Neodes ha again bowed to the Canines as did Fredonia. At the regional tourney at Fredonia the team came to life Winning over Eureka., Fredonia, but losing to Coffeyville in the finals. Because of this show- ing the team was invited to the State Tourney. Lettermen this year were: Co-Captains, Bill Condon and Dick Webb: Joe Hallg Duglas Duffeyg Bob McHenryg Dick Overfieldg Darrel Wininger: Jack Parkinsg and Claude Krepps. Page 71 sf BLACK.

State Track Champions Having won the State Championship in 1936, the 19.37 track team started the season with few veterans. However, a large group reported at the call of Coach E. R. Bevan eager to defend the state title. To Coach Bevan belongs the credit for developing a team which again won the state meet. Opening the season, the Seniors won the annual interclass meet. In an invitation meet held on the home track, the Bulldogs dominated the field winning by a 10-point margin. In a dual meet with Collumbus, Independence won 113 to 19. At the K. U. Relays, the Bulldogs placed near the top, without the services of Dick Overfield, dash man. Bill Knight and Harry Pruitt won firsts in the javelin and high hurdles, respectively. The next meet was with Coffey- ville, the team winning, 61-28. In the S. E. K. league meet, I. H. S. won by a 2-point margin, with Knight, Overfield, and Winston Rogers, leading pointmakers. In the Regional the following week, the team lost by two points, the only defeat of the entire year. In the state meet, Overfield won the 100 and 220-yd. dashes, Knight won the javelin, and Rogers won second in the high jump, thus keeping the title. Lettermen last year were Knight, Russell, Pruitt, Carpenter, Rogers, Overfield, McKain, Lawler, Wesley, Jones, Duifey, McKinney, Hamilton, and Gray. The outlook at the time of printing this story is Very bright for a third successful track season.

Aided materially by the new coach, Rufus Daggett, the season was climaxed -by the winning of the S. E. K. doubles championship. Beginning the season with nearly fifty boys out for the team, Mr. Dag- gett developed a squad of youngsters. Practically all the boys were underclass- men and inexperienced. In the school tournament, Beverly Greer defeated Bill Orr for the title. Orr and Dick Webb won the doubles championship. In their first meet the team played at Coffeyville losing six matches and winning two. In the next meet the local boys defeated Bartlesville on the In- dependence courts 6-3. In the following dual meet, Tulsa high school blanked Independence 9-0 on the home courts. Coffeyville again defeated the Bulldogs by the match score of 8 to 4. Dropping return meets to Bartlesville and Tulsa, while winning from Chanute, the scheduled season was concluded. Acting as host in the S. E. K. league meet, the Independence entries were Beverly Greer and Bob McHenry in the singles and Bill Orr and Dick Webb in the doubles. Orr and Webb, given only an outside chance, proved to be the darkhorse. Defeating Fort Scott, Chanute, Parsons, and Coffeyville, they met Pitsburg in the finals. In a closely contested match, Orr and Webb won the doubles championship by a score of 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.

Much of the credit is due Rufus Daggett, a most able coach. The team was undefeated in inter-school competition and also won the S. E. K. league championship. Beginning the season with three lettermen and a wealth of promising material. Coach Daggett had little trouble in developing a championship come bination. Ralph Sicks, a freshman, won the high school championship by winning one up on nineteen holes over Joe Blackford, who defeated the 1936 S. E. K. champion, Duane Armsbury. The local team journeyed to Coffeyville where they swamped Coffeyville in their first dual meet by the score of 31 to 1. In the next meet the Bulldogs defeated a strong Bartlesville team 282 to 19k. In a return meet held here, the locals won over Coffeyville again by the score of 30 to 2. Their next meet was held here, and the locals continued their winning streak and won over Chanute to the tune of 37M to 2M2. In their last inter-school meet the Bulldogs dropped their only loss of the season at Bartlesville. Ralph Sicks won individual honors in the S. E. K. league meet and the teams won first and second places. This makes the seventh time in eight years that they have won the conference crown. In the state tournament at Emporia, Sicks tied for second place in individual play. Sicks and Armsbury won third place in team standing. Taking all the scores made in inter-school meets of the four lettermeng the team average was 39 strokes. The following boys were awarded the coveted I at the end of the 1937 season: Ralph Sicks, Duane Armsbury, Earl Overfield, and Joe Blackford. Sicks is the only returning letterman around which the team was built this season. Forrest Smith has succeeded Mr. Daggett as the 1938 golf coach. Page 75 a BLACK SWIMMING TEAM Back Row: H.

Swimming Team In 1934, the athletic department under the direction of L. E. Losey approved of the organization of a swimming team. Forrest H. Smith, who had been pushing the idea, was appointed coach and the rest of the work was up to him. Mr. Smith has done his job well and today Independence competes with much larger schools than itself. Since very few Kansas high schools have a swimming pool, Independence is forced to swim against Tulsa, Oklahoma, Wichita, and Kansas City schools. and more recently, Coffeyville. Beginning the season, the Bulldogs lost a practice meet to Coffeyville, 40-26. In the next meet Wichita East defeated the team 47-18.Tulsa won by a one-sided score, 49-16, in the home tank. Registering their only win of the season, the team nosed out Coffeyville 35-31. On a 2-day trip to Kansas City, Independence dropped one to Pembroke Country Day, 37-29, and lost to Wyandotte, 54-8. In the state meet held at Wichita, Independence won only three points, Lawrence Gross placing second in the 100-yd free style. Despite the poor showing in the victory column this year, a large group of returning veterans and hopefuls should make next year's team one of the strongest since the organization five years ago. Lettermen were Lawrence Gross, Hugh Gross, Sam Monson, Hugo Rees- man, Bill Baldridge, and Ernest Faulk.

They were Bob Gibson, Fred Crane, Bob Potter, Jimmy Martin, and Bob Hille. They received much from camp to give to the club this year. The odicers for the year are president, Glenn Hackmasterg vice-presi- dent, Buddy Sands, secretary, Bob Gibson, treasurer, Bob Gordon, program chairman, Jim Sloopg world brotherhood chairman, George Hudiburgg service chairman, Warren Riegleg publicity chairman, Bob Potter, Bible study, Bill Halsey. The purpose of the club is to create, maintain, and extend through the school and community high standards of Christian character. They have for their platform clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. October 22-23 was the eastern Kansas Junior Hi-Y conference at Iola. Thirteen boys and the sponsor Mr. Campbell attended. A very entertaining and educae tional conference was enjoyed by all. To raise money the boys made novelty footballs and sold them at the football games. They also sold basketball schedule pencils. At Christmas time the boys bought toys for the children of eight families which were distributed Christmas Eve. Credit is due to Mr. Campbell, who with much patience and under- standing has helped to make all of the club undertakings a success.

Page 81 84 BLACK lntramural Basketball Intramural basketball was introduced to the junior high school by the present high school coach, E. R. Bevan, in 1934. Since that time it has increased in popularity and value to the student body. The past year has been the most successful and was the second season under the guidance of Coach Jog', Allen. At the beginning of each basketball season, teams and captains are chosen and a separate league is formed for seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth grades combined. Playing about ten games a season, the boys receive valuable training, in sportsmanship, in physical development, and in the making of better high school teams for future years. As a reward for winning their respective leagues, thirty boys were taken to the regional high school tounament at Fredonia. Seventh Grade FINAL STANDINGS Eighth Grade 9 Team W L Pct.

Page 82 GRANGE Junior High Track Because of lack of material and finances, the junior high track season consisted of only two meets, tne annual interciass meet and an invitational. Under the direction of Coach Jog Allen many young aspirants worked out and will probably compose the hign school teams in near future years. The ninth graders won the interclass meet and in the invitational held on the Bullpup field, Coffeyville won first, Independence second, and Edna third. Although the season was limited, much was gained by the boys,and the training they received is invaluable. To Coach Allen too much credit can not be given for his fine work.
