The progress ol independence is out- standing. It possesses many ol the advancements that can be lound in a larger metropolis.

The new building is, beyond a doubt, the linest ol its l4ind in this section ol the state.

From their slogan He profits most, who serves best the members of this club have done much for the students and the people of In- dependence. The Rotary Club is built on four points: club service, vocational service, community service, and inter- national service. From these points they go forth to serve and to aid. BOARD OF EDUCATION SUHHIHHHHHH lSHElIVlHHHIlP Top row: Scott, Dennis, Braden, McDaniel. Front row: Fertig, Stew- art, Harper, O'Brien, Clement. Until recent months the building program has been the prime objective of the board of education, resulting in the erection of two new grade schools and a new phys- ical education building for the high school. From now on the work of the board will be concentrated on the cooperation between students and teachers and the proper administration of the educational facilities offered by the new buildings. The present members of the board include O. L. O'Brien, president, Donald Stewart, R. P. Scott. S. E. McDaniel, Clyde Braden, and C. V. Dennisg ex-officio members are J. H. Clement, superintendent of schools, and Florence Harper, secretary of the board. Each of these persons was selected for his position by the citizens themselves, who know the Value of placing competent and dependable persons for an efficient school board. Each is a citizen giving time and work to establish that essential bond between the community and the stu- dent body, and to develop in the students a better ideal of citizenship. The students greatly appreciate the action of this board which has resulted in the erection of the two new grade schools and the physical education building to Independence.. Page 12 lHl HlHIl Hl lHl SYSHM An efficient, progressive, capable leader ---- J. H. Clem- ent can be called the guiding hand behind a modern and ever-progressing school system. Mr. Clement has felt many times during the past years the need for a physical education building and new grade school buildings. He has put forth his best effort in helping to give Independence the highest in educa- tional facilities. Our superintendent possesses all the qualities of an upstanding citizen that should make any community proud. His never ceasing interest in the student body has made him a friend as well as a leader. J. H. CLEMENT, Superintendent A. B., McPherson Collelie A. M., University of Kansas A.

Principal Stevens spends most of his time working to better our school system. He foresees the fact that some time in the near future the students graduated from I H S will join other young people in becoming the ruling pop l ulation of the United States.

Page 19 Completing successfully four years of study in In- dependence High School marks the turning point in the lives of the 170 members of the senior class. The class of '40 stands on the threshold of Tomorrow. Graduation from high school will place some of us in a college or university, eager for more knowledge before we go out to lick the worldg to others it will mean the end of the school of Study and the beginning of the school of Life and Experience. As freshmen in 1937 we were considered a large class and even with the dropping out of those who could not take it we have remained a large class. Sophomores we became in 1938, and the true signif- icance of the reason for a high school education gave us a nudge. Geometry confronted us with all its evil angles, and Latin became more complicated. 1939, we were juniors. Faced with the nearing threat of graduation from this sheltered, carefree life, we were saddened by the thought of being seniors. All through our full, senior year we constantly real- ized the why of going to high school. Now as we ap- proach the commencement, we are no longer saddened at leaving, or afraid of that outer world. We are prepared to take our places as citizens of these United States of America. 1 l DARRELL ADAMS Vocational Club '39, '40,Boys' Pep Club '40, Boys' City '39.

Page 34 3 , Y 1 - M . 1- WHH lHHlY HHNL HH HZHINS lHH lHHlY-lINl The members of the senior class of 1941 see before them the last stretch of the road before the goal they have struggled so long to attain. This road has not been an easy one to travel because it is rough in many places and some- times it seems almost impossible to make the grade. This road has been traveled by many people and the class of '41 has not been one to let many of its members stray from the well-beaten path, although a few have been lost. All along this road to graduation there are extra paths one may follow to goals of special recognition. Many members of the junior class have chosen to follow some of these extra paths. ln the scholastic field, many members of the class have made records that bring glory to the class as a whole. In debate their showing has been better than most schools can boast of because most of the I.H.S. debators have come from the junior class. In dramatics and music they have also held prominent places. When the sport record is brought to our attention, we can see members of the class of '41 standing out in every field. Several of them have already made records in football and basketball and are now entering into the Spring sports. This junior class will some day be a part of the large population governing our United States and if they con- tinue on the path they have chosen so far to follow, it is easy to see that their part will be well done.

Applying Applied Math with Professor Toalson Rembrandts and Raphaels--Maybe Just Like Mother Used to Make '-sSM..,., Organized in 1920 the Kiwanis Club pledged itself to give service to the hu- man rather than the material values of life. This classification club Works for the students in their under-priviledged child work. From eye correction to den- tal work the members strive to raise the standards of health in this school. Some of their aims are to develop a most ser- viceable citizenship and to build better communities. STAFF MEMBERS SEHHHl IlHIllH IS Hlll Slllllllll Under the able leadership of the new journalism ad- viser, Miss Lora Todd, and the printing instructor, Mr. Marlin Reppert, the school paper, t'The Student , is edit- ed, printed, and published weekly entirely in the school. It is through The Student that the people of Inde- pendence are informed of the activities of the student body. The merchants of the town help in no small way in keeping the paper going by advertising and by supporting school projects. ln order to give each student experience in different phases of newspaper work, the staff of i'The Student is changed every nine weeks. ln this way the student has a chance to be on the editorial, advertising, and business staffs at least once during the year. Editors of the paper this year were Marjorie Scott, Betty Jo Wilson, Warren Gaughan, Elizabeth Heckman, and Richard Dent. The Studentn, as in former years, has a wide variety of stories and columns. The Spectator , the high school gossip column, ranks as the most popular among the stu- dents. One of the aims of the journalism class was to in- clude in tlfe paper at least once during the year the name of every junior and senior high school student. Due to their efforts many more names have appeared in the paper than formerly. A successful change was made in the paper this year by the journalism and printing departments working together. The small, eight page paper was replaced by a large, four page publication. The total copy and adver- Page 46 tising of the larger paper is equal to nine pages of the smaller one. Last fall the Kansas Interscholastic Press Associa- tion at K.U. which is held annually was attended by Miss Todd and eight of the journalism students. The conference proved very interesting to the Independence delegation which was a larger group than usual. Those who made the trip were Betty Jo Wilson, Jean Braun, Marjorie Scott, Richard Dent, Curtis Crum, Bob Hille, Jack Bates, and Jimmie Martin. The Student offers valuable training for any stu- dent who wishes to gain experience as a journalist. It has become an important part of our school in giving an ac- curate account of all school activities and student opinions.

Page 50 DRAMATICS CLUB OFFICERS In 1922, Miss Anna Ingleman's English classes or- 'wnized the Dee Dee club. From this has developed the Dramatics club which presents on the average of three long plays a year. Anyone may join the Dramatics club but in order to be initiated into the club he must pass several require- ments. They include various public appearances, a menial task, and an original play or stage version of some famous short story. To become an officer of the club one must be an official member. As one of the long plays this year the club chose Young May Moon. The setting of this play was on the campus of an ideal American school. The plot dealt with the discovery of a t'red and the disclosing of a secret organization, the Champ club, of which the dean's son was president. It was presented two evenings and was well received by the audiences. In May the graduating class gave its senior play. The contest play, Pink and Patches , which was pre- sented at Chanute, dealt with a typical mountaineer's family. The small daughter, Texie, was played by Eloise Humphrey, the boy, Hank, by R. J, Osborng and the moth- er by Marjorie Scott. The officers for the club were president, Warren Gaughang vice-president, Mary Dennis, secretary, Betty Goodvving and treasurer, Jimmy Martin. To Miss Anna Ingleman goes the credit for the suc- cess of any production, which is due primarily to her efficient direction and sacrifice of almost all of her time.

The col- lege plays are always well attended by the high school students and all the stage Work and ushering is done by the high school dramaticsclasses. The characters are, however, all college students. CAST OF CHARACTERS Letitie Carberry Lidzie ......... Kittie Woodman Sue Wagner Aggie .......... ...... B etty Brooks Ellen Leightan . . . . . .

The Champ club, which as a secret organization was forbidden on the campus, was accused of being a communistic group. In the end, Wendy, after being kid- napped by Stephen Adair, Was taken into the club, and the communist, supposed to be Mason Wells, was disclosed.

Ac present there are thirty-five nnenibers. At every coHege and high school footbaH ganuzthe corps gave a demonstration at the half. They marched for various civic clubs and accepted a number of out-of-town engagements for the year. New uniforms adorn the members of the corps this year and are quite classy. They earned the money for the unifomns by seHing candy, having a chiH supper, and marching for civic clubs. The Girls' Drum Corps gave two mass demonstrations at Coffeyville in November, marched Armistice Day in Caney, and went to Bartlesville on November 28, to march at Phillips 66 birthday for Uncle Frank . They also made a trip to Parsons to march at a football game. At the an- nual concert and also the Dr. Simon concert, the drum corps played. The annual birthday party was held March 28, at the Booth Hotel. The officers for this year are Janet Davis, connnanderg Jacquehne Baldridge,xdce-conunanderg and Vivian Emery, secretary-treasurer. Bluch of the success of the drurn corps should go to their sponsor, Miss Self, and director, Mr. Callahan. The ghds ofthe drunicorps havesvorked hard and have made I.H.S. quite proud of them.

They also appeared in the annual winter concert held at the Memorial hall. The club sang at the Dr. Si- mon Concert this spring. On February 15, the Girls' Glee club appeared on the program of the annual P.T.A. meet- ing which was held at the Presbyterian church. The Glee club went to Chanute on April 12 to attend the Chanute Music Festival. The solos were sung by Fern Faulk and Lila Jean Murphy at the Festival and Evelyn Treger entered with a piano solo. The Boys' Glee club is composed of twenty-one mem- bers. They have appeared in assembly three times, and also at a P.T.A. meeting at the Washington school. Page 57 H.

The blue triangle is the symbol for the Girl Reserves, representing the body, mind, and spirit. In the regular meetings held every two weeks, great stress is placed up- on these three things. There are 150 members in the Girl Reserves this year. The club is very active this year and sold G. R, pins to raise money. They also sold candy, waited tables for banquets, and sold poppies. From these proceeds they sent eleven girls to camp at Joplin last summer. Ten girls from here attended the conference at Sedan. The organ- ization also adopted a family and provided food and cloth- ing for them at different times throughout the year. Several baskets were given at Thanksgiving time and at Christmas. Also a party for the Mexican children was given. The annual Mother-Daughter banquet was an out- standing event of the Girl Reserves this year. Youth Joins Hands in World Fellowship was the theme, and the guest speaker was Miss Evelyn Hunter of Wichita. The successful club year has been under the guid- ance and help of Miss Morrison and Miss Coldwell. The cabinet is composed of Maxine Willoughby, presidentg Julia Wright, vice-president, Virginia Thompson, secre-- taryg and Martha Todd, treasurer, Martha Lamar, pro- gram, Maxine Overfield, finance, Katherine Russell, service, Beryl Adams, conference, Martha Brown, pub- licityg Christine Callahan, music, Lois Parker and Doro- thy Lang, devotionsg Julia Wright, membership, and Dixie Lee McDonald, social. SENIOR GIRL RESERVES Page 58 The members of the Senior Hi-Y have the purpose of the Hi-Y clubs well in mind by the constant repeating of it in meetings. This helps to make the club of more good to the school and the community. This year service pro- jects were undertaken in the form of maintaining a con- cession stand at each football game, selling pencils which had the football schedule on them, and running the book exchange at the beinning of each semester. With the money from these projects, the club did many things. First of all the cabinet members attended the fall district conference at Chanute, and again in the spring they attended the district conference at Iola along with the new officers. On the social side, the club had a picnic at the park at which time the new members were initiated into the club. The annual line party to the show for the members and their dates was also held. The annual mixer was held in the gym and was judged a huge success. This year a new sponsor, Mr. Babcock, was obtained. Mr. Babcock, although new at Hi-Y work, has shown by his willingness to work and cooperate with the boys that he is a very capable leader. Along with the cabinet he has helped work out different problems and has helped to build programs which are instructive as well as entertain- ing and which help to make better citizens of the members, The officers for the year just concluded are Bob Hille, president, Richard Dent, secretaryg Glen Hack- master, treasurerg Harold Houx, program chairmang Bob Meanor, service chairman, Roland Wass, world brother- hood chairman, and Chester Funston, publicity chairman.

SCIENCE CLUB Page 60 VOCATIONAL CLUB The Vocational club, founded in 1936, has become one of the leading organizations of the school. Its origin was suggested by the founding of the college Engineering club, and its purpose was to provide an Engineering club for the high school. Mr, Friley and Mr. Bowen were chos- en as sponsors and Mr. Bowen has been with the club since its beginning. Under his guidance programs of var- ious vocations have been arranged. The club's purpose is to learn from talks by men in the vocations and pro- fessions what the various occupations have to offer in service compensation, permanence, etc. Also by visiting industries they can learn first hand something of the working conditions. Officers for this year are as follows: Clyde McGuire, president, Ralph Sicks, vice-presidentg Donald Lolley, secretary-treasurer. The club visited the Atlas cement plant, making a thorough tour and inspection of the plant. One of the high spots of the year was the trip to the Grand River Dam, at Disney, Oklahoma. The club held its annual picnic and initiation at the beginning of the year. Some of the speakers at the club this year were Mr. Stockebrand, Tom Glasscock, of the Highway Patrol, and various clothing and professional men of the city. The club meets once each week.

Although the 1939 football team was not as powerful as the 1938 squad, it was a fighting group of Bulldogs that opened the season against Fredonia. Sixty boys reported for practice a few days before school started and Coacli Allen molded his team around the nucleus of nine return- ing lettermen. Injuries hampered the playing ability much during the season, the team being the lightest in the his- tory of the school. Even though the team did not start with a winning streak, they received the support of the town and school throughout the year. The Lions club sold tickets and the townspeople re- sponded with a record sale. One factor present all year was the gift of working together. The Bulldogs played with a real spirit and it was through no fault of the team as a whole that Independence did not rank higher. The Bulldogs were defeated all year until they en- countered the Blue Comets. Here the players seemed to find themselves and ran over the Comets 13-0. The follow- ing week again the Allen crew was in the winning mood and defeated the Iola Mustangs 12-O. After these two games, Neodesha and Coffeyville turned the tables and the Canines finished the season in the lower division of the S.E.K. league standings. Dale Fowler, senior end, was the only Bulldog to receive a berth on the all-star S.E.K. team. Meade, Sutton, Kendrick, and Carpenter received honorable mention. Football is one sport which teaches the players the necessity of working together and the importance of fair- ness. It does much to train boys to be better citizens.

Coach Floyd Barngrover, who came here from Mound Ridge, Kansas, to take the place of Earl Bevan as basket- baH and track coach,started the season with six return- ing lettermen. The league schedule was made into a double round robin this year with each teamn playing each other txvice. The team started rather slowly, breaking even in two pracUce ganum before opening the season at Cohunbus Their first conference win came about half way through the schedule when they defeated Iola. Several close games were lost, including two with the champion Pittsburg Dragons Even though the teani fnnshed low in the S Eli standings, it didn't seem to dampen their spirits for the regionat In the regional they finaHy started going and were not stopped until they met Chanute in the finals of the tourna1nent.'Fhey played four gaines in the regional winning three of them. One of the high spots of the regional was the game in the senn-fnuds udth CoffeyviHe, CoffeyviHe had de- feated the Bulldogs in both league games and they were all set to win the tournament until the underdog Bulldogs upsettheircart liine nien xvere presented the coveted NIU at the end of the season, these being Ralph Sicks, Guy Tull, Kenneth Boyle, George Meade, Jimmie Martin, and Duane McKay, seniorsg Dotson Sims, Francis Greer, and Claude Peebles, juniors. Dotson Sims was given honorable mention for the all S.E.K. team. Ralph Sicks was chosen honorary captain of the teani by the nunnbers at the end of the season. Page 66 Starting off the season withlthe 'annual inter-class meet, Coach Barngrover launched his first track team in Independence. Mr. Barngrover came fr'omQMound Ridge this year to coach basketball and track andghe teaches four classes a day. He has behind him a successful coach- ing record and his results this year prove his ability. In the inter-class meet the seniors won with akscore of 90 points. The juniors had 29 points, the sophomores had 24 1-2, and the freshman 6 1-2. This got the boys in the spirit for competition but all the boys took it rather easy and it was so early in the season and sprains are so easily contracted. The first inter-school meet for I.H.S. was at Pittsburg where the Bulldogs took fourth. Here , Harry Pruitt, outstanding track star, took first in the 220 yard low hur- dles breaking the record set by him in 1939. Dale! Fowler took first in the 220 yard dash. The'B'ulld'ogs gathered 35 points in this meet. , . With a skeleton crew of only three men Coach Barn- grover journeyed to Lawrence to take second in the An- nual K. U. Relays Pruitt took first in the high and low hurdles, Fowler took second in the 220 and 440 yard dashes and Dotson Sims tied for first in the pole vault. Wichita took first with fourteen entries. In the annual Coffeyville Invitational the locals took third with 41 1-6 points. Pruitt equalled the state record in the 120 high hurdles with the time, 14.9.

The 1939 team was composed of Ralph Sicks, who was runner-up in the state championship matchg Lewis Dreis- bach, Bob NVorUnan, and Lewis NVarnock. These four teamed together to win the state four man team champion- ship, while Sicks and Dreisback won the two man champ-- ionship. In addition to these four boys, letters were award- ed to Charles Moss, a freshman, and Bob Tomlinson, a junior This year the team was made up of new men for the most part. Rob Robley, Gib Layton, and Charles Moss, who teamed with George Meade to win the S. E. K. four man team title are only sophomores. Meade is a senior. Robley won low medal honors in the S, E. K. and teamed with Moss to take second in the two man teamevent. The Bulldogs lost only one meet this year, that being to CoffeyviHe by a score of 2655 to 2525. Blany of their dual meets were won by overwhelming scores. The Bull- dog golfers can not be expected to rnatch the rnarks set by the teanilast year in the state tournamnentg hoxvever with three of the first four men only sophomores, much can be expected of theniin the next year or so. Mr. Smith has worked hard with the team this year and much credit should go to him for the fine way in which he has helped the members, GOLF TEAM Page 68 TENNIS TEAM Always in the past I. H. S. has produced good tennis teams, and this year was not an exception to that rule. Led by Edison Shive, a sophomore, and Donald Treger, a senior, the team, up to the time of the SEK, had lost only two matches, to Coffeyville and Winfield. They were favored to capture the SEK titleg avenge their defeat at the hands of Coffeyvilleg win the regional title, and par- ticipate in the state meet at Emporia. The season opened with the annual invitational tourn- ament at Riverside park, in which the Bulldogs captured all the titles. Next a match with Pittsburg on the home courts was won by the Canines. The Bulldogs then engaged the Coffeyville team on the courts at Riverside park, and dropped the meet, win- ning only 4 of the matches. A week later after suffering this defeat the team made a trip to Winfield and lost its second meet of the season. However, the Winfield boys were to engage the Bulldogs in a return match on the home courts. The last match before the SEK meet was with Fredonia, and I. H. S, whitewashed the Fredonia team, allowing them to win only three games. At the time of this writing, which was just before the SEK, Shive was favored to win the singles and a team composed of either Martin and Gordon or Peebles and Chappuie was favored to cop the doubles title. However it went, Independence students may be sure they had a good team in 1940. Six letters were given, and of them four will be back next year. The team was com- posed of Shive, Treger, Peebles, Gordon, Martin, Crane, and Chappuie. Page 69 HNNIS HHM IS SlHHNH Above: Shive, Peebles, Crane, Gordon. Below: Treger, Dent, Kors, Elliott.

E I h, 1 Coach Forrest Smith organized the first swimming team in 1934 after he had endeavored to do so for several years. Mr. Smith has held the position of coach since the team first was organized and has proved to be an excep- tionally good coach. While his teams have not been es- pecially high in standings he has turned out many fine swimmers. The main reason Independence is not able to win more meets is that it has to compete almost entirely against much larger schools. Wichita East journeyed to Independence for the sea- son's first meet and defeated the Bulldogs, 50 to 16. At the next meet at Wyandotte in Kansas City the In- dependence team was sunk to the tune of 54 to 12. After suffering this defeat at Kansas City, Coach Smith took his boys to Tulsa where they met the Will Rogers High. The team did its best work of the season at this meet but was defeated, 30 to 22. The next trip was a two day jour- ney to Tulsa and Tulsa Central won from the Bulldogs, 58 to 8. The next day Will Rogers again defeated the Independence team, 42 to 24. The Canine strokesters next went to Coffeyville where they were defeated 46 to 20. Wichita North came to the local tank and took their toll with the edge of 49 to 17. Tulsa Central then did the same with a score of 57 to 9. At the state meet Independence did some good swim- ming but failed to get a high score. The season's last meet was held against Coffeyville and the Coffeyville team defeated the Bulldogs, 45 to 21. 2- Bill Baldridge was chosen honorary captain and let- ters were awarded to Bill Baldridge, Robert Plummer, and Wendell Elliott. Page 7.6. 1 BOYS' PEP CLUB After being without a boys' pep club for a great number of years I.H.S. now has an up-and-coming organ- ization of which the school should be proud. The idea for a boys' pep club started at the first of the year in Mr. Choguill's counsellor group. Only those juniors and seniors who are active in more than one sport during the year are eligible for membership. The boys were selected for their personality and dependability. The sponsor of the Boys' Pep club is Miss Georgia Brown, instructor of English and Latin, The officers for the current year are as follows: John Wyckoff, president: Dale DeVore, vice-presidentg Walter McVey, secretary- treasurer. The officers have also been elected from the junior boys to carry on the activities of the club for the following year. Bob Gibson was chosen as presidentg Alex Haas, vice-president, and Paul Wilhelm, secretary- treasurer. The boys selected as their uniforms black sweaters with orange bulldogs. The sweaters were bought by each boy individually. No definite time was set for club meet- ings but whenever important business arose a meeting was called. Pep demonstrations were held by the pep club for many of the football games. A large bonfire and snake dance was planned for the students the night before the Thanksgiving game. This year the club was invited to attend the annual lettermen banquet held by the Girls' Pep club. This spring the club took upon itself the problem of keeping careless students from walking on the lawn of the campus. The boys patroled the walks between classes and each morning, noon, and evening until it became a habit for the students to stay on the sidewalks.

There is one organization in the school which has always been known for its pep and support of the various athletic teams. This organization is the Girls' Pep club. This year for the first time the club has had a name. This name, Canine Coeds, was chosen at the beginning of the year from a group of names submitted. in a school- vvide contest. Throughout the year, the club has joined in many ac- tivities. It is the duty of each member of the organization to do her part in the planning of special assemblies, in the supporting of the teams, in the money making ac- tivities, and in keeping up the character and scholastic standing of the club. Much credit and appreciation goes to Miss Lora Todd, sponsor of the club, who has spent much of her time work- ing toward the success of the club. During football season Miss Jean Brann was elected football queen by the football team. At that time the club presented a very effective assembly program, during which Queen Jean was crowned. During basketball season, the club was entertained by the Coffeyville pep club, the Tornado Tillies, at a supper party before the Independence-Coffeyville game. The pep club year was ended triumphantly by a let- termen's banquet held March 26, for the members of the football, basketball, and swimming teams who won let- ters. The banquet, held at the Presbyterian church, was presided over by Mary Blanche Todd as toastniastef. The officers for the year were Mary Blanche Todd, president, Elizabeth Heckman, vice-president, Berta Buckles, secretaryg and Joan Noel, treasurer. The cfneer- leaders were Mary Blanche Todd and Wilma Lou Jardine. PEP CLUB Page 72 SENIOR G. A. A. QW To encourage physical education and outdoor and indoor athletic activities for all senior high school girls is the purpose of the Senior Girls' Athletic Association, which was organized in Independence high school in 1926. The local organization joined the Kansas State High School Athletic Association in 1932. Through this asso- ciation the girls may participate in athletic activities and earn letters and local state awards. The activities for which points are granted are plac- ed in th1'ee groups: CD organized activitiesg Q25 unorgan- ized activitiesg and C35 achievement tests and health and hygiene. For every hour of organized activities a member re- ceives seven points, and for an hour of unorganized act- ivities, three and one-half points. To earn the necessary points the girl must spend at least eight weeks in some sport. The first award given is a school letter which re- quires six hundred points. The second award, a state let- ter, is given to each girl who has earned five hundred ad- ditional points. The final award is a gold pin with the letter K for which it is necessary to have a total of fourteen hundred points. The officers elected by the club to serve for this year were Ruth Rains, presidentg Shirley Rhodes, vice- presidentg Maxine Overfield, secretaryg and Kathryn Ewing, treasurer. Due to the efforts of the club and Miss Elva Hughes, their sponsor, a great number of high school girls are par- ticipating in sports for health and recreation. Tennis is one of the more recent sports being enjoyed by the girls. Page 73 An Apple CCocoanutD for the Teacher Teaching Them Their X's and Y's Future Architects of Independence The youngest of the service clubs is the Metro. This by no means makes them inactive because they are among the busiest young men of the town. This year the Metro Club dressed up the park by painting all the equipment with the members themselves doing the painting. Most of the young men in the Metro Club have not been out of high school long themselves. This makes them very understanding of the feelings of young people.

One of the few religious groups in our school, the Junior Girl Reserves, was organized in 1923 by Miss Gray and Miss Crocker and was, after the first few years of its existence, divided into two groups--the Blue Triangle and Blue Star Girl Reserves. One of the big events of the year to all Girl Reserves is the Mother-Daughter Banquet, which was held this year April 8, at the Presbyterian church. Every year around Christmas and Thanksgiving time, the girls collect food and prepare baskets for the less fortunate. Each program during the year is carefully planned so that it will be worth while to all the girls. They have special music and guest speakers, who talk on both ed- ucational and enteraining subjects. Much credit is due to the sponsors of the groups--- Miss McNiel, Miss Wahl, Miss Crocker, and Miss Lane--- for the success of the organizations. The officers of the Blue Star Girl Reserves are Barbara Belcher, presidentg Billie Trumbly, vice-president, Lois Jardine, secretary, Betty Braden, treasurerg and Mary Ann Post, song leader. For the Blue Triangle Girl Reserves the officers are Rosemary Callahan, president, Jacqueline Tole, vice- presidentg Diane Stewart, secretary, Alice Ann Callahan, treasurer, and LaRue Hatfield, song leader. In this religious organization the girls learn many things which are of use to them now and will be in the future. They learn the need for friendship and how much more can be accomplished by working together. Page 76 The Junior Hi-Y, under the leadership of Harold Campbell, has just completed its thirteenth year as a leading junior exponent of Christian ideas. The entire theme of the club is expressed in its pur- pose: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian char- acter. The principles of the club can be expressed in four short phrases: Clean speech, clean sport, clean scholar- ship, and clean living. The club was founded in the fall of 1927 by Mr. L. O. Heckethorn. In 1937 Mr. Campbell succeeded Mr. Hecke- thorn as sponsor of the group. Each new member is elect- ed on his personal merits by the old members in the club. For this reason the membership is usually limited to from 30 to 35 members. Each year the members hold a weiner roast at which the newly elected members are initiated into the club. Also it is an annual custom of the club to prepare Christmas baskets. The Junior Hi-Y has an important part in the shaping of Christian ideas for the boys and preparing them for active service in the senior club, the Senior Hi-Y. The officers this year were Clyde Osborn, president, Harry Lee, vice-president, Donald Black, secretary: Bill Webb, treasurer.

For the eighth consecutive year, the Junior Girls' Athletic Association has been offered as an activity to junior high school girls. The purpose of the organization is to encourage and promote physical education and ath- letic activities among the junior high girls. Awards are given which are based on a certain num- ber of points which are given for organized activities which include basketball, volley ball, and swimming. The unorganized activities are skating, tennis, walking, horse- back riding, and dancing. A golden felt shield with the letters G.A.A. printed on it is awarded when a member has a total of four hun-- dred points. A school letter of orange and black is given for an additional five hundred points. The third and final award is awarded when the member has acquired a total of fifteen hundred points. Both a volley ball tournament and a basketball tourn- ament were held this year for the members of the organ- ization. The volley ball tournament was won by Louise Shadley's ninth grade team. The basketball tournament was not completed but Jacque Whistler's Whizzes , also a ninth grade team, were ahead when the tournament ended. The team was composed of Jacque Whistler, cap- tain, Alta Mae Baker, Bonnie Michael, Helen Walters, Barbara Belcher, Wynona Doss, Mary Dulohery, Diana Dunn, Jane Ellen Parshall, and Jerry Springer. Officers of the organization for this year, 1939-40, were Barbara Belcher, president, Betty Braden, vicee president, Jean Hibbens, secretary, Billie Trumbly, treas- urer, Mary Ann Post, song leader, Gwen Grant, pianistg and Mary Lou Whitehead and Jacque Whistler, cheer-- leaders. JUNIOR G. A. A. Page 12 JUNIOR DRUM CORPS Attractive additions to their uniforms and appearance at all the home football games opened the second year of parading for the Junior high school Girls' Drum and Bugle Corps. Their debut was made in the fall of '38 at the last home football game of the season, this year in addition to the football games, the corps has marched in the Marine Band parade, Arbor Day parade, Boy Scout parade, and the fall and spring openings. With their new white flannel jackets, blue pleated skirts, blue scarfs, blue caps, hose, and black shoes, the organization presents a striking picture in marching array. The corps' commander-in-chief is Mary Ann Post, vice-commander, Barbara Belcher, secretary, Diane Stew- artg and treasurer, Isobel Faurot. The corps of 43 members from the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth grades is lead by two t'twin drum ma- jors, Diane Stewart and Barbara Belcher, the twirling major is Phyllis Carroll. Dues are small and each girl bought her own instrument with the exception of a few buglers. Wayne Adams and Leo Pitts assisted much in the training of the girls of the organization, while the act- ivities of Miss Helen Lane as sponsor and Mr. Maurice Callahan as director have made the corps the success that it is today. Instrumentation includes 23 snare drums, 13 bugles, 3 drum majors, 2 bass drums, and 2 cymbals.

Learn to Save and Save to Learn Many people who have made a success in life tell us that the secret of their success was learning to save in their early years.
