But Why rely on history or mythology in the consideration of such an important subject ? Who are your friends, and most important of all, do you find yourself on genuinely friendly terms with a large num-- ber of people? This year's Grange 8: Black has proved such a genuine adventure in friendship that the staff decided to make friendship the theme of the book. May you have many occasions to refer to these pages, and may they constantly re- mind you of a period from '37 to '41-a period filled not only with jumbled notebooks and quadratic equations, but a period during which you laid up for yourself an inexhaustible store of life's greatest treasure-Friendship. 1 , ,N I lllllllllllllll To the friendly spirit which is a dominant part of all school life, the 1941 Orange and Black is dedicated. Two of the Senior class members Who best exemplify this spirit are Paul Wilhelm and Sally Houck who were chosen by the Senior class as the most friendly boy and the most friendly girl of the Senior class. Although the acquiring of a formal education is the primary purpose in attending school there are many things learned at school that are not in text books. One of the most important of these is how to make friends and how to be a friend. The importance of social competence is being emphasized more and more in the business world. Employers now consider a record of a studentis school activities and conduct as important as a transcript of his grades. Students will leave school and take up some vocation and most of them will probably forget such facts as the gram-molec- ular volume of a gas is 22.4 liters and that Josiah Bartlett was the third person to sign the Declaration of Independence. True friends which are made at school will never be forgotten. The effect which friends have on people's lives is immeasureable. In years to come students will take down their old annuals and the one thing most strongly brought to their minds will be their friends, the most important thing they have. vm K 5 I Q, 'Y s',g 'Q V W , Q in W 1 Q is Q :Nu x M EAST ENTRANCE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING PHYSICAL EDUCATION BUILDING Y ggi .. ,,., NEES HALL lHl SEHHHl Independence High School, an outstanding institution in southeast Kansas, with buildings of beautiful architecture, is located on a beautiful campus near the center of one of the oldest and most beautiful cities of the Middle West. Our school has an enviable reputation as an institution of learning. It has .a faculty of about fifty teachers and offers a wide range of courses extending from junior high through junior college. It has recently completed a new gymnasium with facilities and equipment second to none in this section of the country. With a good coaching staff and a thousand students to draw from, winning teams have been developed in all branches of athletics and school activities. Our teams are noted for their fair play and sportsmanship at all times. Its teaching corps is made up of especially Well trained instructors, and students usually finish the various .courses with high honors. For many years this institution has been rated as an A grade high school and is accredited by all colleges and universities in the country. From thy portals-Oh Alma Mater have emerged many great leaders of the community, state, and nation. A f izfectors of School ybrogram up The Board of Education- A Friendly Group The school board is an organization of- ten little recognized, but nevertheless of great significance in the functioning of the school system. In spite of the little attention given them by the student body, the board members are constantly plan- ning and carrying on for the betterment of the educational facilities of the Inde- pendence school system. One recent result of their untiring ef- forts was the construction of two new grade school buildings and a modern gym- nasium, in both of which this city takes great pride. When the board is not work- ing on such obvious projects, their prin- cipal duties lie in bringing about coopera- tion between the faculty and the students and in the proper administration of the school. The six members of the board are chosen by the citizens themselves, who know the value of placing competent and dependable persons in this important or- ganization. In this way the townspeople have an indirect voice in the administra- tion of their schools. The present board of education includ- es Mr. O. L. O'Brien, who is president of the group, Mr. C. O. Braden, Mr. C. V. Dennis, Jr., Mr. S. E. McDaniel, Mr. Rich- ard P. Scottg and Mr. Donald W. Stewart. EX-officio members are Mr. J. H. Clement, superintendent of schools, Mr. F. E. Fer- tig, treasurer, and Florence Harper, sec- retary and clerk. With its small membership each school board member has several duties to per- form. The most convenient way of doing work in a group is by using the commit- tee system, consequently each member belongs to several committees. The four main committees are building and ground, finance, teachers, and library. The student body is deeply grateful for the many opportunities and pleasant con- ditions which are afforded them, due to the work of the board of education. It is to them that we express part of our ap- preciation for an enjoyable twelve years of school life. Superintendent of Schools Shows Friendly Interest in Students Always a welcome visitor, J. H. Clement has filled for many years the position of BOARD OF EDUCATION :sif- Ilfop row: Scott, Dennis, Braden, McDaniel. Front row: Fertig, Stewart, Harper, O'Brien. Clement Page 12 l M - E. R. STEVENS, Principal J H B. S.. Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia M. S. University of Kansas Superintendent of the Independence school system. He shows wide interest and deep understanding in students and student ac- tivities. He may be seen at the plays, concerts, assemblies, and various sports, never too busy to speak to his student acquaintances. Because of the able and progressive leadership of Mr. Clement, the schools of Independence are being maintained at a high standard. He has a reputation of being a fine speaker on education and has written many articles on the subject. Mr. Clement is also an active civic lead- er in Independence. He is in the Masonic fraternity and affiliated with the Inde- pendent Order of Odd Fellows. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce and the local Rotary club. He is enthusiastic in church activities, being a member of the Methodist Church. Mr. Clement at- tended McPherson College where he re- ceived his Bachelor of Arts degree. He received Master of Arts degrees at both the University of Kansas and the Teachers College, Columbia University, New York Citv. Independence High School Has A Friendly Principal Independence is fortunate in having Mr. Stevens for its principal. Mr. Stevens Page 13 . . CLEMENT, Superintendent of Schools A. B. McPherson College A. M. University of Kansas A. M. Columbia University is well qualified for the position as he has his B. S. degree from Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia and his M. S. degree from Kansas University. He has many other qualities, one of the most im- portant being friendliness, a quality in a school principal which is as important as any other. Mr. Stevens often stops in the hall to have a friendly chat with some of the students. He has always encouraged stu- dents to feel free to come into his office and ask him for advice concerning their courses in high school and is always ready to assist them in straightening out any difficulties arising from their school work. Not only is he friendly, but he is also highly efficient as a school administrator. The systematic, orderly manner in which this school of over 1600 enrollment is run is ample proof of his competence: Independence is not alone in recogniz- ing Mr. Stevens' administrative abilities as he is president of the National Federa- tion of State High School Athletic As- sociations and president of the Kansas State High School Activity Association. When graduates look back on their high school days they will remember Mr. E. R. Stevens as one of their best friends. IRA D. STOCKEBRAND, A. B. Modern History, Commercial Law ELVA HUGHES, B. S.

As we consider what the members of our class have ac- complished since that time, txhis pledge has been well provided for. ' As freshmen, the class of '41 laid their stepping stones to success and started on their way. During the sophomore year, the class began to get glimpses of what lay before them, and soon the members commenced to receive recognition in the different activities. At this time the class of ,41 lost one of its friendliest mem- bers, John Clemmer. The accomplishments of the class of 1941 grew greater during its junior year because of the distinction its members re- ceived in basketball, football, track, oth- er sports, dramatics, and especially de- bate. As the final year for the class draws to a close, it seems that debate has be- come the most outstanding activity in the history of the class. As members of the squad, four seniors have struggled through these years and were repaid by being invited as a team to the state meet for the first time in eight years. Many seniors have received outstand- ing recognition in sports, music, and scho- lastic subjects, also. This year eight boys with admirable qualities tried for the Summerfield Scholarship. The officers of the class include Paul Wilhelm, president, Ruth Rains, vice- presidentg Sally Houck, secretary, Glenn Haekmaster, treasurer, and Josephine Steinberger, assembly representative. Due to illness, however, our treasurer was unable to complete, his senior year and Patricia Dunn was elected to fill his po- sition.

From this year's class of juniors, theirs has been one of outstanding students who applied their efforts in scholastic, dramatic, scientific and sports field. Among these many have risen and become leaders in various ac- tivities and organizations. From the jun- ior class has come girls and boys who are every day developing their initiative, re- sponsibility, and personality. Throughout the school years they have gathered know- ledge and friendship .among those of their own acquaintenances and of other classes. They, in striving to obtain the most of their opportunities have taken advantage of the subjects and chances offered them. From this class will emerge in years to come, our future doctors, lawyers, den- tists, stenographers, bankers, merchants, farmers, scientists, and housewives. They help to represent the backbone of Ameri- can democracy and the typical youth of today. They were the freshmen and sophomores of yesterday, and will be the seniors of tomorrow. They have a long and fruitful life to which they may look forward, a life of anxiety, joy, sorrow and adventure. Many juniors have also made prominent names for themselves by entering into sports activities. Many have lettered in track, tennis, football, basketball, and swimming. As a whole, the junior class has set a fine example of an ideal average class. And so we say- Eyes Ahead on The Class of '42 l JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS l Bryan. vice resident: Mitchell. assembly representative: Raglin, president: S t y I3 Furnas, treasurer: Nees, ecre ar .

Page 38 1 Page 39 Htllllllll We introduce the Activities section of our yearbook with pride. This extensive list of clubs and organizations of I. H. S. represents a sincere attempt on the part of our principal and the various club sponsors to offer the students of Independence and vicinity the most enriched and significant program possible. Extra-curricular activities have been popular and oft repeated Words in secondary schools for the past dozen years. In our school an attempt has been made to put these theories into practice, and not only are students entertained and so- cialized through club participation, but much self-improvement and education also results. Including the various sports activities , our school can proudly point to more than a score of organizations existing for the purpose of making high school meaningful. Clubs and other organizations have undoubtedly contributed to the con- ditioning and training of members for broader and more sig- nificant fields of service. If the Boy Scout slogan, Be Pre- pared'5, is significant, and if it is true that there is no success except social success, then the value of our Activities program cannot be over estimated in its efforts to build a more sturdy and service-minded society. Our various organizations are portraved in the following pages in both words and pictures. They shall continue to sur- vive, and will even grow in number and usefulness as students learn to utilize them more fully. .ill rienclshzp in ssocicttions In Senior Girl Reserves Friends Are Formed Friendships both new and old are form- ed in the Senior Girl Reserves, which meets every other week in the balcony of the girls' gym. The many activities which are carried on throughout the year by the different committees which help to make up the Senior Girl Reserves, keep the feeling of friendship circulating. The three main events during the last year were the baskets given at Thanks- giving and Christmas, the Columbus Con- ference, and the annual Mother-Daughter banquet which is always an outstanding event in the organization. This year Mrs. William Cavert was the guest speaker at the banquet. The Girl Reserve code and slogan are based around the emblem which is the blue triangle on white. The three sides form- ing the triangle represents the body, mind, and spirit. This year there are approximately one hundred and fifty girls in the club which is one of the largest in Kansas. Many of the girls attend conference or comp Ni-Ka- Ga-Ha, a camp near Joplin where girls from various other G. -R. clubs meet to get new ideas for their own club. Inde- pendence is fortunate to be one of the few schools in Kansas in which the girls may meet during the school hours, in other towns they meet after school hours. Through the different committees the people in the club are given a chance to cooperate and work for a better organiza- tion. The officers, committee chairman and sponsors are as follows: Christine Callahan, president, Jean Walters, secre- tary g Martha Brown, treasurer 5 Maxine Overfield, membership, Lila Mary Schaub, conference, Helen Wright, serviceg Dor- othy Lang, devotions, Ruth Rains , fi- nanceg Jaquelyn Gillespie, musicg Dorothy Melton, social g Martha Spellman, publi- city, and the sponsors Miss Louisa Cold- well and Miss Hannah Morrison. Senior Hi-Y Practices Friendliness The Senior Hi-Y, an organization whose purpose is to create, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the school and commun- ity, high standards of Christian charac- ter, is one of I. H. S's active clubs. Made up of over 40 boys, the group meets once a week with Mr. Babcock, the sponsor. This is the second year Mr. Babcock has had the sponsorship duties of the club. He has shown by his willingness to work and cooperate with the boys that he is a capable leader. Along with the cabinet he has helped work out problems and build programs which are instructive as well as entertaining and which help to make better citizens of the members. The program of the Senior Hi-Y club consists of two S's-service and social. As a service to the school and commun- ity the club has engaged in many useful activities. The book exchange, which was operated at the first of the school year, furnished a handy place for students to buy second hand booksg as well as a means to enlarge the assets of the club's treas- ury. During the Christmas season, the Hi-Y gave several baskets to the needy people of the city. At the first of the school when the football season was in full sway, the club maintained a conces- sion stand at Shulthis stadium. Here the members sold candy, pop, gum, pop corn and hot dogs to the fans. The profits re- ceived from this activity gave the mem- bers another chance to do other service for the community. The Club along the social line has not been inactive .An initiation took place at the beginning of the year. The Hi-Y has Page 42 sent members to out-of-town conventions and has plans to send a large delegation to Camp Wood, this summer. Two mixers have been held where each member played basketball, swam, and had his fill of con- fections. The annual line party at which the boys could -take their girl friends to the show was also much enjoyed. Officers for the year just concluded are Jack Shanahan, president, Carman Conner, secretary, Kenneth Clemmer, treasurer, Jimmy Sloop, program chair- man, Ted Dunton, sevice chairman, Du- ane Jemes, world brotherhood chairman, and David Gorrell, publicity. Glen Hack- master is the honorary secretary. SENIOR GIRL lilCSl'lRVES Back Row: Miss Morrison, sponsor. Martha Brown, .lean Walters, Ruth Rains. Dorothy Melton, Martha Spellman.

We Science Club Continues To He Active The General Science club, Lllldel' the sponsorship of Mr. Dennis was originally organized seven years ago as the Medical Interest club. It has since broadened its Scope to take in all branches of science. Unlike many other school activities its primary function is educational. Weekly meetings are held during ac- tivity period on Wednesday. This year the club attempted to increase interest among the members by having several meetings each month in which one member of the club gave a demonstration or a talk on some particular phase of science. At leastonce a month an outside speak- er was invited to speak before the club. Among those speaking this year were Dr. Harold S. Choguill, Mr. Paul E. Tatum, Miss Bell, Mr. Vines, and Mr. Watson. The Science club performs a service for the school by maintaining a museum Page 44 which is one of the best high school mu- seums in the state. This year the museum was opened during counselor period. Many counselor groups took advantage of this opportunity to examine the museum. A number of additions were made to the museum this year. A stuffed hawk and an owl were added to the biology collection and Mr. Bertenshaw donated a large num- ber of shells which supplemented a pre- vious contribution. Of the fifteen members in the club this year, six will be lost by graduation. Those not returning next year are Lowell Case, Paul Wilhelm, Alex Haas, Patricia Dunn, Juanita Freels, Eloise Humphrey, and R. J. Osborn. Those returning next year will be Robert Meyer, Homer Parker, Bill Chappuie, Alfred Baden, Emma Louise Sappington, Ida Lefever, Burnadette Ro- berts, Maryetta Jones, and Colleen Rin- gle. As in previous years the club attended the Junior Academy of Science. This year it was held at Manhattan. Those members attending were Paul Wilhelm, Alex Haas, Robert Meyer, Alfred Baden, Colleen Rin- gle, and Ida Lefever. The officers. for the year were Alex Haas, president, Bill Chappuie, vice-presi- dent, Juanita Freels, secretary, R. J. Os- born, treasurer, and Paul Wilhelm, pro- gram chairman. Organize Future Farmers Club The Independence high school establish- ed a vocational agriculture department in its curriculum. This course is for those farm boys enrolled in high school that are interested in the farm and farm work. This new department had an enrollment of 56 boys at the start of the first semes- ter, all of these boys live on farms or operate farms in cooperation with their fathers. This course is designed to furnish practical knowledge in livestock and crops production by having each boy enrolled in the course to carry livestock or crops pro- jects at home. These boys are financially involved in these projects and have com- plete management in caring for them. Be- sides the knowledge that these boys re- ceive from caring for these projects the boy has a chance to use them as a means of earning money while attending high Page 45 school. This vocational course also has a well equipped shop that gives the boy an opportunity to learn farm shop skills in blacksmithing, sheet metal, farm car- pentry, concrete, rope, leather, farm ma- chinery, and gasoline engines. The stu- dents bring in many jobs from home to be repaired, these jobs added to those pro- jects that the boys construct serve to teach the shop skills in this course. The shop work in this course has proved to be one of the most interesting phases of this work, as the farm is becoming more mechanized every year this training en- ables the boys to care for and repair their own machinery and at the same time it will give them a chance to acquire some farm machinery for themselves. Whenever a group of young people are banded together, there is a lot of poten- tial energy in the group. The students of vocational agriculture were no exception, soon an organization was formed in this group consisting of 43 charter members. This organization is called the Future Farmers of America. This is a national or- ganization of farm boys studying voca- tional agriculture. Six years following the founding of this organization in Kansas City, 47 states, the Territory of Hawaii and Puerto Rico, had formed associations of Future Farmers of America affiliated with the national organization. Today there are over 100,000 members in over 3700 local chapters. The purposes of this organization are: C15 To develop compe- tent, aggressive, rural and agricultural leadership, C25 To strengthen the con- fidence of the farm boy in himself and his work, C35 Tocreate more interest in the occupation of farming, C45 To create and nurture a love of country life, C55 To improve the rural home and its sur- roundings, C65 To encourage cooperat- ive effort among students of vocational agriculture, C75 To promote thrift, C85 To improve scholarship, C95 To en- courage organized recreational activities: C105 To achieve the cause of vocational agriculture in the public schools. Officers of our local chapter are Presi- dent, Wlimer Gillen, Vice President, Lewis Wallick, Secretary, Gerald Newman, Treasurer, Don Morris, Reporter, Ray- mond Ross, Watch Dog, Harold Austin, Advisor, Blaine B. Brandenburg. eoate Season uccessfuf Under the direction of a. new coach, Paul E. Tatum, the high school debate squad of 1940-41 gained renewed in- terest in forensic activities and had one of the most suc- cessful debate seasons in the history of Independence high school. Besides the regular tournament schedule, the de- bate squad participated in several exhibition debates. One of the high lights of the season was the invitational debate tournament held in Independence. Also initiated this year, were the Forensic Club and the Student Speakers' Bureau. At their first tournament held at Pittsburg, two Inde- pendence teams reached the semi-finals from a field of 74 teamsg and at the next meet at Topeka they once again reached the semi-finals out of some 90 teams. Independ- ence placed second at the Coffeyville tournament, losing only a 3 to 2 decision to the national champions from Okla- homa City. The Bulldog debaters won first place honors and trophies at their next two tournaments, held in Kan- sas City, with over 40 schools competing, and at Fort Scott. Because of their excellent season's record, Independ- ence was invited to the state meet at Lawrence where they reached the quarter-finals before losing a split decision to Hutchinson, the state champions. The last tournament of the season was the little national held at Lexington, Missouri, where only twelve best teams from the Middle West are invited. Jack Bushnell won honors in after-dinner speaking and oratoryg Eloise Humphrey won in after-dinner speakingg and Emma Louise Sappington placed first in extempore speaking. A total of more than 20 students. participated in the debate activities for the season of 40-41. Schedule and Record Nov, 15-16 - Pittsburg ....................

S. has been organized for eighteen years. It emerged from the Dee Dee Club that was organ- ized by Miss Anna Ingleman in 1922. Any student may join this club, but he must pass special requirements before he can become an official member. These re- quirements consist of various public ap- pearances, a menial task, and an original play or stage version of some famous short story. Any officer of the club must first be an official member. On March 22, the Dramatics club en- tered a play and single entries in the con- test at Chanute, Kansas. The play en- titled, A Night at the Inn ', received high rating and several of the single en- tries received first place. A Night at the Inn is a story concern- ing four Englishmen who had stolen a ruby out of the eye of an idol. They were followed by the three priests of the idol's temple until they killed the priests. Then when the way looked clear to selling the ruby, the idol itself appeared and reclaim- ed it, killing the four Englishmen. The characters of the contest play included an Englishman, Sniggers, R. J. Osborn, the second Englishman, Albert, Eldon Scott, the third Englishman, Bill, Jack Shanahan, the fourth Englishman, The Toff, Jack Bushnellm first priest, Bob Elliott, second priest, Junior Newman, third priest, Merlyn Taylor, the idol, Bob Gibson. p The offlcers of the club this year are Jack Bushnell, president, Winifred Cof- field, vice-president, Wilma Aitken, sec- retary, Alberta Dikeman, treasurer, Jun- ior Sergeant et Arms, Eloise Humphrey, dramatics director, George Hudiburg, re- porter. Miss Anna Ingleman has Worked hard this year to make all plays, Whether long or short, successful. Through her efforts and time spent, the dramatics department has provided the school with wholesome entertainment in the drama field.

First High School Play Is Napoleon, Jr. Each year Miss Anna Ingleman provides the school with at least three long plays. This year Napoleon Jr and Stage Door have been presented to the public. The annual senior play followed these and was composed of a cast of seniors. Napoleon Jr. was presented in the high school auditorium two evenings, De- cember 5 and 6 by the dramatic depart- ment under the derection of Miss Anna Ingleman. Napoleon Jr. is the story of a weak henpecked husband who was bewildered at the rate his family spent his money. He was a great admirer of Napoleon, and When Napoleon appeared to him in a dream he was frightened but fascinated. Because of this dream, Henderson Ruggles became dominating and threatened his family into submission with a horsevvhip. When his troubles began to get deeper, Henderson began to doubt the Wiseness of his actions. However he was reassured when one by one the family troubles iron- ed themselves out.

It was directed by Miss Anna Ingleman. Stage Door portrayed the life of am- bitious young stage actresses in New York. The story vividly portrayed the desires and trials of theatre life. Terry Randall and Jean Mitland were good friends who shared a room together in Mrs. Orcutt's boarding house for stage girls. Terry was so in love with the theatre that when she and Jean were offered mo- vie contracts she refused to accept hers even though Jean signed her contract and left for Hollywood. During the next two years Jean became a famous movie ac- tress while Terry, who was by far the best actress, had not advanced any in the stage world with her few and far between parts. Jean returned to New York to take the lead in a new play, but she didn't play it because David Kingsley bought it from the movie company with the inten- tion of producing it himself. He gives the lead to Terry, who had at last achieved her ambition after years of hard work and sacrifice. Several minor roles are played by the high school students.

Page 49 tudent and flnnttczf Successful in 241 Our high school is indeed fortunate to have the equipment with which to print a paper every week. Many schools have papers but few schools have the papers published in the school building. We should feel proud that our school has the facilities to publish a paper, for many of the schools have to have their papers hectographed or have to pay money to have them printed at a city newspaper office. The linotype and a printing press not only furnish a way to print the paper but also afford a grand opportunity to those students who wish to learn it as a trade. The success of our paper and the Orange and Black is due to the equipment furn- ished by the school. The equipment af- fords training and provides an opportunity to sample the printing and publishing field of industry. Friendship Is Theme of Yearbook The 1941 Orange and Black as in the past years has been published by the co- operation of the seniors in the printing department and the journalism class. This year, with its triumphs and its de- feats, has gone into this book in the pic- tures and writings to be long remembered. This is the thirty-first annual to be pub- lished since the first annual Luck 'Levenf' Illeane Littrell, a college freshman, is to be given much credit for the way she has displayed the theme of the book in her block prints. Under the direction of L. E. Thurman, the new instructor in the printing depart- ment, who has helped to compile the book, and as in former years Marlin Reppert, who has played a large part in printing the annual, the staff wishes to express their sincere gratitude for their kind as- sistance. This year the 1941 Orange and Black staff has chosen as its theme Friend- shipf' The word friendship means-in- timacy united with affection or esteem, and with these qualities in mind the senior class took a vote of the friendliest seniors. The two who were elected were Sally Houck and Paul Wilhelm. h Page 50 3 1 x 1 5 i ORANGE AND BLACK STAFF Top row: Osborn, Lang.

A Week in Publishing the Student Under the leadership of Miss Lora Todd, instructor of journalism, and Mr. L. E. Thurman, printing instructor, and the co- operation of the journalism class and the printing department the Independence Student is published each Week for the students of both the college and the high school. The week of publishing the Student be- gins on Thursday for the cub reporters in the journalism class. On Thursday the editor-in-chief of the paper puts every- one to work on the stories which were assigned to him the preceding Tuesday. The stories and columns of the Student are varied and everyone on the staff is given a chance to write the different col- umns at least once during the year. The Spectator and the Want Ads still furnish the most amusing items to the eyes of the many students who read them. There are news stories, editorials, sports stories, and stories pertaining to the different organizations, which are written, typed, and sent to the printing department. After the linotype operator Page 52 sets the material the printing students make galley proofs of the copy after which it is sent back to the journalism room to be proof read. The galley proof is then sent back to be corrected in the printing department. News is gathered by the reporters in the editorial department Thursday, Fri- day, and Monday for the paper which is to be printed the coming Wednesday. Each story has a deadline which is the day it is due, and it is up to the person to whom the story is assigned to collect the correct information, type the story, and get it in on time. - Another important department is that devoted to advertising. Without the aid of the merchants who advertise with the Student there would be no paper, be- cause without the money which is brought in each week by the ad solicitors the pa- per could not be financed. Thursday and Friday of each week is given over to ad soliciting by members of the advertis- ing staff. The deadline for all ads is Friday. On Tuesday the page proof is brought in and the page is proof read, and then the paper is ready to go to press. By fifth hour on Wednesday every class in the building has its papers. Each nine weeks the Student staff Page 53 l r is changed so that every one in the jour- nalism class may have a chance to learn the various types of work that make up the departments. The editors-in-chief for the past year have been Flo Branden- burg, Annice Clayton, Dorothy Lang, and R. J. Osborn. I This year an April fool edition was printed in which every page was mixed up. There were some absurd stories that couldn't possibly have happened and many were printed upside down. The ads and sports stories were put on the front page and the front page stories were placed on the back page. This paper, mixed-up as it was, proved to be a surprise to its readers, and gave the journalism and printing de- partments much pleasure in printing it. Last fall sixteen students and Miss Lora Todd, instructor, attended the interscho- lastic Press Association Conference at Lawrence. This was the largest delega- tion ever to attend the conference from here. Peggy Tucker and Mary Shaw were chosen as delegates and were guests at a sorority house. The others to attend the conference were Flo Brandenburg, Dor- orothy Lang, Duane James, Sally Houck, John Short, Eloise Humphrey, Jack Floyd, Barbara Hindenach, Betty Powers, Mer- lyn Taylor, Olive Mae Banks, Doris Thi- bus, R. J. Osborn, and Patty Orr. usic, the Universaf Language Vocal Musicians Spread Good Will Music is a universal language. If We were to take some musicians from Eng- land, some from Germany, some from Russia, Italy, Finland, and France they could play together in perfect harmony even though they could not speak one to another. Music is the one thing they all can understand and appreciate. Music tends to bring the different clas- ses of people together in something they all appreciate. It fosters a community spirit.

A Concert given by the music departments of the high school, Dr. Simon's Concert, and The Holy City. The girls held two chili suppers in order to earn money for their uniforms which were Worn at the music contest in Pittsburg, April 4 and 5, 1941. At Christmas time the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs Went caroling and finished the evening with a Wienner roast at the Lone Chief Cabin. The officers of the Girls' Glee Club of 1941 Were: president, Jane Chase, vice- pfresident, Jerry Perry, secretary, Lila Mary Schaubg treasurer, Lila Jean Mur- phy, reporter, Annice Clayton, librarian, Shirley Gaughan, Afton Kors. Boys' Glee Club Interest High The Boys' Glee Club of 1941, under the able direction of Mr. Evans, has a mem- bership of 29, the largest it has had in a number of years. During the year they sang for the Busi- ness and Professional Women's Club and a Boy Scout Court of Honor. They took part in the Christmas Concert given by the school's music department, and the oratorio, The Holy City. This is the first year the Boys' Glee Club has had emblems. The emblems were designed for the club by Mr. F. F. Kors. The boys entered several solos, as well as the group singing, in the music contest held at Pittsburg, April 4 and 5. Mr. Evans calls for a high standard of voice Work and ai tremendous amount of improvement has been made this year. Page 55 Orchestra Is Highly Superior The 1941 High School Orchestra is the smallest We have had in a number of years. They appeared in the Christmas Concert as Well as playing the accompani- ment for the Holy City. At the Regional Music Contest last year the orchestra re- ceived a Highly Superior rating with re- commendation for the National Contest. Much of the credit for the fine music the orchestra puts out should be given to Mr. Callahan, the director, and Mr. Baird, the instructor of stringed instruments. Several members of the orchestra are members of the concet band. Orchestra Personnel FIRST VIOLIN'-Clara Jane Hendrickson. Barbara Defenbaugh. Evelyn Treger, Betty Wilkins, Mildred McClaren.

CONCERT BAND Concert Band Rates Very High It is indeed a sad soul that is not stirred at the sight of the High School-Junior College band marching up the football field in their flashly scarlet and black uni- forms. During this year the band played at all the football games and most of the basketball games. They took part in the Christmas parades at Parsons, Independ- ence, and Coffeyville, which were spon- sored by the Chamber of Commerce in in the various towns. The band presented a concert at Christmas time and another in February with Dr. Frank Simon as guest conductor. In April they played for the state P. T. A. convention. This ycar the band acquired some much needed instruments. They have two new Sousaphones which improve the tone of the band immensely. Another instrument, which few high school bands have the pri- vilege of possessing, is Cathedral Chimes. This instrument adds much to the effect of the music played by the band.

Page 56 Drum Corps Meets Popular Demand The Senior Girls' Drum and Bugle Corps was organized in 1937, making its initial appearance at the Spring Opening. This year marks the end of the fourth year of its organization. On March 12, the an- nual birthday dinner and party was held. A dinner was served to members of the Corps at Nelle Woodman's. Following the dinner a dance for members and their dates was held in the school gymnasium. Four members, who graduate this spring from Junior College and who have been members during all four years of organ- ization, were honor guests. These four are Betty Rains, Mary Kay Boner, Nelda Rose Dominy, and Marjorie Stevens. The group is active in school and civic activities as evidenced by the following record: The Drum Corps gave a march- ing demonstration at the half of every college and high school football game. They marched in the various civic pa- rades, on Armistice Day they went to Ca- ney where they played at a football game in the afternoon and in the evening pa- rade of the celebration. On Sept. 16, the Drum Corps went to Coffeyville and marched in the parade at the homecom- ing celebration for Wendell L. Willkie. The Corps also participated in the Christ- mas parades in Independence, Coffey- ville, Parsons, and Chanute. They played in the annual concert given by the schools music department, and in the Dr. Si- mon's Concert. Just prior to Christmas, the Corps sponsored a sale of English holly, which netted a neat sum for the treasury. The treasury has been further replenished by sales at the concession stand at basket- ball games. At present there are twenty-nine mem- bers. The officers for this year are com- mander, Virginia Thompsong vice-com- mander, Eileen Furnasg secretary-treas- urer, Mary Kay Boner. Much credit for the success of the Drum Corps should be given to their sponsor, Miss Mary Selfg and the director, Mr. Maurice Callahan. These two have given of their time, effort, and ability unstint- ingly that the Drum Corps might be an organization of which I. H. S. may justly be proud. DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS Top row: Melton. Boner.

Not an unimportant factor in the out- come of competitive games is the reaction and enthusiasm of the spectators. Because of this the organized cheering sections of I. H. S. have contributed greatly, not only by stimulating the pep of the audience at the activities but also to show a model ex- ample of good sportsmanship. Independence high school has been noted for its fine spirit and fair play in all athletic contests. This year the stu- dents have been good winners and good losers, and a large amount of the credit goes to the two pep clubs and to their sponsors-Miss Lora Todd and Mr. Paul Tatum. Canine Coeds Loyally Support Teams Since 1926, when the Girls' Pep Club was first organized under Miss Zella. Spradling, it has been the custom for this club to help arouse enthusiasm in the stu- dent body and interest in the various sport events. Many requirements are made of the students in order to belong to this club. Scholarship, personality, popularity, and character are all taken into considera- tion. The club consists of twenty-four girls- sixteen seniors and eight juniors. The eight juniors are the ones that elect the members for the following year. Last year, for the first time, the club was given a name. This name, '6The Ca- nine Coeds , was chosen by the girls from a group of names submitted at the first of the year in a school wide contest. Throughout the school year the club joined in many activities. It is the duty of each member to help in the planning of pep assemblies, in the money making activities, and the support of the teams. Much credit and appreciation is due Miss Todd, sponsor of the organization who worked untiringly to promote the success of the club. During football season Miss Martha Todd was elected football queen by the team. The club presented an effective assembly program at that time during which Martha was crowned. During bas- ketball season the club entertained the Coffeyville Tornado Tillies at a dinner served in the school cafeteria before the Independence1Coffeyville game. ' The basketball season closed with a bang when, on April 1, the Pep Club gave a banquet honoring the lettermen of foot- ball, basketball, and swimming at the Methodist Church. The banquet was pre- sided over with Josephine Steinberger as toastmaster. The officers this year have been Jose- phine Steinberger, president, Agnes Reg- an, vice-president, Mildred Sharp, secre- taryg and Judy Schoenfeldt, treasurer. Page 58 Boys' Pep Club Boosts Athletics For a great many years I. H. S. has been without a boys' pep club, but now in the second year of organization the school has a group of which it should be proud. The idea for a boys' pep club started first of list year in Dr. Chougill's Counselor group, and the present time it is under the sponsorship of Mr. Paul Tatum, high school debate coach. The officers for the current year are as follows: Bob Gibson, presidentg Alex Haas, vice-president, and Paul Wilhelm, secretary-treasurer. The boys selected as their uniforms black sweaters with orange bulldogs and vivid orange and black corduroy trousers. The uniforms were bought by each boy. This year the club was invited to attend the annual banquet held by the Girls' Pep Club. This fall the club undertook the task of keeping careless students from walking on the lawn of the campus. The boys pa- troled the walks between classes until it became a habit for the students to stay on the sidewalk. . uw ,f GIRLS' PEP CLUB liar-lc row: D. Regan. Frecls, Aitken. Rains.

Page 59 zfiendsfttp Devefops in Yfitftfetics The various high school athletic activi- ties - football, basketball, swimming, track, tennis, and golf-offer to the great number of students participating in them not only opportunities to develop physical health and quicken mental perception but also instills into the athlete a spirit of sportsmanship, cooperation, and friend- liness. The student through the many en- joyable hours of participation in one or more of these sports gains many compan- ions and develops friendships that last throughout life. Although the chance for physical exercise and bodily development is emphasized, companionship and coopera- tion are the keynotes of high school ac- tivities. Football Season Holds Interest Coach Joe Wallace, who came to In- dependence high school from Baldwin, Kansas, to take the place of George Jog Allen as football coach, built the 1941 team around six returning lettermen. Although the team finished at the bot- tom of the league standings much of this was due to disabilities and inexperience. The Bulldogs were a.t their full strength CHEER LEADERS Scott.

The team got off to a bad start. The opening game with a fine Fredonia team was good experience even though the Bulldogs lost 41 to 0. The team contin- ued to lose due largely to inexperience in working together, and in their first lea- gue encounter they lost to the Pittsburg Dragons 19 to 0. The Bulldogs improved greatly as the season Went along and at times they out- played their opponents, but they never seemed able to play a Whole game in win- ning form. The Bulldogs finished the season against their rivals, the Coffeyville Tor- nado, having lost every game, some by close margins. They played Coffeyville Page 61 to a standstill on the ground but were unable to stave off a Tornado aerial at- tack and went down fighting by a 20 to 0 score. Although the Bulldogs did not place any boys on the All S. E. K., Dennis Rus- sell and Dick Herron, playing line and backfield positions respectively, received honorable mention. Coach Wallace lettered 25 boys. They were Donald Lolley, Hoyt Taylor, Merlyn Taylor, Darrell Kessinger, Kenneth Hole- stine, Jack Fountain, Leroy Barrier, Ger- ald Carpenter, Alva Carpenter, Carl At- kisson, Bud Sands, Charles Huff, Wayne Bradbury, Jack Barnes, Wayne VanDolah, Keith Willoughby, Dennis Russell, John Ivy, Reese Cannady, Richard Herron, Francis Greer, Robert Laird, Rob Robley, Carmen Conner, and William Sutton. Three Letermen on Court Team The 1940-41 basketball team, coached by Floyd Barngrover, was built around three lettermen returning from last year's team, Dotson Sims, Francis Greer, and Claude Peebles. The Bulldogs got off to a flying start after many nights of hard practice and in their first league game they surprised and defeated a strong Fort Scott team 29 to 18. In this game the team played a superior game of ball which they were able to duplicate only once again during the entire season. Although the Bulldogs finished in next to last place, the fact that they lost more games than they won did not seem to dampen their spirits and they were in every game fighting to get back in the win column. In many of the games the Bulldogs were barely nosed out. This year's Coffeyville game was no exception and it was only after a thrilling overtime period that the Tornado was able to win by a two point margin. The Bulldogs won 4 games and lost 11 to finish just ahead of Iola who finished in the cellar position of the SEK. As has been the custom for the last two years, the double round robin was used in the Southeastern Kansas League. The Regional tournament was once again held at Fredonia. Four double a CAAJ schools, Iola, Coffeyville, Chanute, and Independence, were represented there. In the first round the Independence Bulldogs got by the Iola Mustangs, after losing three men from the game on fouls, only to fall victim to the high flying Cof- feyville Tornado. Chanute was victor of the tournament and was invited to the state playoffs. Since this yearis team was made up of many sophomores and juniors, the coach sees prospects for a strong team next year. Of the nine men receiving first team letters only five were seniors. Those receiving letters were Dotson Sims, Francis Greer, Jimmy Shaw, Claude Peebles, and Darrell Kessinger, seniors, Edison Shive, Glenn Hybarger, Jimmy Sherman, and Dick Herron, juniors. The outstanding men on this year's team were Dotson Sims and Claude Pee- bles. Dotson was chosen as forward on the second all SEK team. Claude received honorable mention by the judges. The boys not only received the athletic tra.ning but, they also learned the value of sportsmanship and cooperation and at all times conducted themselves on the court as gentlemen.

Titles The nucleus of Coach Forest Smith's 1941 golf team was built around two re- turning lettermen, Gene Wortman and Rob Robley, both juniors. Several promis- ing sophomores and freshmen reported for practice. The outstanding freshman was David Dennis who was runnerup in the school tournament and also in the SEK tourna- ment. In the same tournament Bob Wortman, a junior, won the low medal and carried off the honor of being the 1941 school champion. Rob Robley was beaten out of the runnerup position by diminutive David Dennis who is only a freshman this year. From the first call many boys proved their interest in the sport by reporting the first night to Mr. Smith for practice. The golf team is composed of the fresh- Page 63 men, sophomores, and juniors. There are no seniors on this year's team. The golfers played in four games be- fore the SEK. They defeated Chanute three times, Iola twice, Pittsburg once, Parsons once, and Columbus once. They lost to both Coffeyville and Nowata in a three way match. The SEK tournament was held on the local course on Saturday, April 26. Dick Ashley, a sophomore from Chanute, car- ried off the SEK title by shooting an even par, 144 strokes, for 36 holes. David Den- nis, a freshman, was runnerup with one over par. Then David teamed with Rob Robley to win the two man title. A team composed of Rob Robley, David Dennis, Roland Case, and Gene Wortman teamed together to win the SEK four man title. Much praise forthe boys' fine showing on the golf links should go to Coach Smith who worked long hours to get the boys in shape for this tournament. TRACK TEAM 2-1 a A - -. , , 3 'rw f . 1 ? .

Many Boys Participate in Track When the Independence high school track season of 1941 came around, the Bulldogs showed much promise on the cinders. Witt five lettermen returning, Coach Barngrover launched his second track team for Independence. The five lettermen were Dotson Sims, Leonard Franklin, Leroy Wilson, Jim Shaw, and Francis Greer. Coach Barngrover started off the sea- son with the inter-class meet. The juniors won this year with a total of 71 points. The seniors were second with 57143 points and the sophomores trailed with a total of 13Mg points. The first inter-school meet for the Ca- nines was at Pittsburg where they placed fourth in a large field. Jim Shaw, ace Bulldog dash man, and Leonard Franklin, star timber topper, carried away all hon- ors for the team as they made all 16 points for the team. However, the Bulldogs were handicapped by the absence of several of its star performers at this meet. Independence came back srong in its second meet of the -season, a dual track meet at Neodesha. Placing men in every- thing but the relays and in most events taking first and second, Independence swept through the meet defeating Neode- sha by a score of 71 to 61. Dotson Sims was high point man of the meet taking three firsts for 15 points. He was followed by Franklin with 11 points. The Orange and Black is coming off the press at a date that prevents giving any facts about the S. E. K., State, and other inter-scholastic meetsg however, by the fine past records and performances of those boys composing the squad, we are confident of victories in the contests fol- lowing. Page 64 Prospects for Strong Tennis Team Once again under the competent super- vision of Wilmont Toalson, the high school tennis squad emerged as one of the strong net teams of the state. Always in the past Independence has produced good teams, and the year of 1941 was certainly not an exception. With many returning letter- men, the netsters were favored to win the S. E. K. and looked upon as strong con- tenders for the state title in both the sin- gles and the doubles. This year's team was composed of Edi- son Shive, who Won the regional last year and went far in the Stateg Claude Peebles, who with Treger took second in the doub- les at last year's State meet, Bob Gordon, Bill Chappuie, Darrell Kessinger, and Dick Gooldy. Although these Were the mainstays of the squad there were a con- siderable number of others out putting up stiff competition to all who came their way. Beginning the season with a meet against Iola, March 28, the team won its first honors of the season by coming home completely victorious, 8 to 0. In the invitational tournament held here April 8, with five schools competing -Parsons, Iola, Coffeyville, and Independ- ence-Edison Shive Was Winner in the singles and Claude Peebles and Bill Chap- puie were first in the doubles. So at the time of this Writing the Inde- pendence courtmen were well on their Way to a most successful season. The tennis schedule for this year was one of the largest ever in the history of Independence high school. Such schools as Winfield, Tulsa, and others were to be met, as well as all teams in the S. E. K. Meets with Wyandotte and Arkansas City schools hitherto unmet by any local squad, were arranged. Besides the regular schedule of inter- scholastic meets and tournaments, the S. E. K. tournament was to be held at the Independence courts, April 26. Because of the local court facilities, the state meet was also to be held here, May 16. However, the tennis season werft in 1941 the Independence students may well feel sure that they had a fine team to represent them at all times and all places.

Page 65 Art Club Is Active During Year When the Art Club was organized in the fall of 1940, the group in attendance decided to open the membership to stu- dents other than those enrolled in a formal art course. The purpose in' doing this was to make it possible for students interested in art to feel they had a chance to make some contact with the art department even though they did not have time to enroll in a particular art course. This year the club decided that in keep- ing with the state-wide celebration of the Coronado expedition it would be appropri- ate to spend some time in the special study of a number of Kansas artists. The Art Club had a review of those Kansas artists who are particularly outstanding in the state. The two to whom the most attention was given were Dr. Birger Sandzen of Bethany College, Lindsborg, Kansas, and internationally known figure, and John Stuart Curry, who is at present resident artist at Wisconsin University and cur- rently painting the historic Kansas murals in the state capitol. A review and study was also made of all Kansas artists whose works were pub- lished in the 1940 Kansas Magazine. At Christmas two exhibits and sales were held, namely a Japanese wood-block print exhibit and a group of Dr. Sandzen's wood blocks of Kansas landscapes. Several outings were enjoyed: a sketch- ing trip in the fall, and an all-day bicycle sketching trip was made on a Saturday in the spring. It is the object of the group to develop interest in contemporary artistsg to study art efforts and trends throughout the state, nation, and foreign countriesg and to foster and encourage talent within the group. The president, Bill Campbell, has re- ceived some extraordinarilly favorable criticisms from several New York design- ers to whom his stage and street costume designs have been submitted. His work has received professional rating by sev- eral critics. This year the membership has been open to both college and high school stu- dents without any definite scholarship re- quirements. In the future it is hoped to improve the standards of the organization so that it will be a source of inspiration to those who belong and an incentive to others to receive a bid to membership in this group. This year's officers were Bill Campbell, presidentg Carolyn Mitchell, vice-pfresi- dentg Illeane Littrell, treasurerg Martha Brown, secretary, Alberta Dikeman, re- porter. ART CLUB Standing: Wilson.

Is Active School Organization The Senior Girls' Athletic Association has been during the year 1940 and 1941, one of the most outstandingly active or- ganizations in Independence high school. Boasting a membership of about eighty- five, this organization in Independence meets on every other Wednesday in the girls' gym and there programs are pre- resented for their enjoyment. Each girl is presented with a point sheet at the first of the year on which she keeps a record for eight weeks the sports in which she participates. She may acquire a special number of points for swimming, basket- ball, tennis, badminton, bowling, noller skating, bicycling, or walking. At the end of the year when she has completed her point sheet, she receives a reward or let- ter according to how many points she worked for. In keeping with the social idea, three parties were planned through- out the year to which all members were invited. The girls were divided into three committees and each committee planned a. party for the enjoyment of the others. Many good times were had by the girls who attended these parties and partook in the dancing, games, and sports. The sponsor of the organization is Miss Elva Hughes, girls' gym instructor and she as well as all the officers in the club cooper- ated to the utmost to give the girls all the proper environment that such an or- ganization should have. The girls' althle- tic association is a national activity and is found in many small towns and cities throughout the United States. A play day is held each year on one Saturday in the fall and this year was held at Pittsburg. The girls are invited to attend the out-of- town organizations and spend the entire day making friends with girls from other towns and taking part in the envigorat- ing sports offered. The girls' athletic as- sociation is truly a fine organization for the development of the mind, body, and character. The meetings are carried on in a democratic manner and at the end of the year all members elect those whom they wish as officers for the following year. SENIOR G. A. A.

Page 67 JHNIHHHIHI1 The junior high school bridges the gap between grade and senior high school. It is here students get the first fundamen- tals of the training they expect to carry on in high school. The junior high organizations give the new students valuable train- ing which prepares them for the senior organizations, thus sav- ing valuable time and making the older organizations better in the long run. Just stop and think of the time and energy that would be required to give new students the necessary training and exper-A ience if we had to get along without the junior high school. In some of the following pages you will see and read about the junior high organizations. One is a new organization just this year--the junior high pep club. Be sure to notice the new colors they have adopted. One organization, which we did not have room to give a special place, is the junior high band. This group has gone far in its assistance to I. H. S. A great many of their number are members of the Senior Concert Band which has a membership of over one hundred. Av Lawlor' Qfufys fire popufazf The students of the Junior high school are just starting to get their education. They have much pleasure, many new ex- periences, and not a little work to which to look forward. A goal to which they look forward and which they will only too soon achieve is that of becoming seniors However, the students are not alone in having something to which to look for- ward. Independence high school has new heights of fame and achievement which it is awaiting. The students who will be entering I. H. S. in the next few years will be prepared to carry the name of In- dependence High School to new heights. in the fields of athletics, music, and schol- arship. Friendly Cooperation in Junior G. R. Willing cooperation has characterized the Junior Girl Reserve organization this year. This organization is one of the most worthy in the school and has an ever increasing membership. Because of the large number of girls who were interested in joining the organization, several years ago it was necessary to divide the group into the Blue Triangle and the Blue Star clubs. This year they have frequently held joint meetings with committees from each group cooperating in planning the program. The groups meet once every two weeks. Each program has been cultural in its nature and has included religion, history, etiquette, literature, and music. At Christmas time each group cooper- ated with the American Red Cross by making donations of food for several Christmas baskets. Every two weeks two members sell candy at the school to raise funds for the various activities of the organization. Cooperation was the theme of the pro- gram at the Mother-Daughter banquet this spring. Mrs. W. C. Cavert was the guest speaker. The Junior Girl Reserves, having been organized for eighteen years, has been an active group throughout the years. Its purpose is to help girls find and give their best in life, spiritually, mentally, and physically. Both organizations owe much of their success to the untiring efforts of their sponsors--Miss Wahl, Miss Lane, Miss McNiel, and Miss Crocker. The main officers of both groups are Blue Star-Gwen Grant, president, Ju- nella Van Tieghan, vice-president, Lois Jardine, secretary, and Clarice Thomas, treasurer. Blue Triangle-Georgeanne Jenkins, president: Patsy Harris, vice- president, Jane Louise Glaettli, secretary, and Jacqueline Tole, treasurer. Friendliness - Their Objective The junior Hi-Y is a Christian orgxniza- tion of junior high school bovs. The club has the same purpose and ideals as the senior Hi-Y and is a helping factor in preparing their members for active ser- vice in the senior organization. The en- tire theme of the club is expressed in its purpose: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The principles of the club can be expressed in four short phrases: Clean speech, clean sport, clean scholarship, and clean living. Page 70 JUNIOR GIRL RESERVES Top row: Harris, Hackmaster. Crocker.

He organized the club in the fall of 1927 and remained its sponsor un- til 1937 when he gave the responsibility to Mr. Campbell. However, last year he again resumed the sponsorship duties of the oganization. New members are elected in the club by vote of the old members. When voting the members keep in mind the personal merits of the candidate as well as his personality, willingness, and church pre- ference. The membership is usually limit- ed to from 30 to 40 members. Page 71 Cn the social side the club has not been inactive. At the weekly meetings the club plays games, discuss problems, read and listen to talks. At the first of the year at Wiener roast was held and the newly elected members were initiated. The club was financed this year by selling football buttons and collecting dues at the first of the year. The officers this year were Donald Ait- ken, presidentg James Hurst, vice presi- dentg Gene Etz, secretaryg and Dick Hille, treasurer. JUNIOR G. A. A. Top row: Burnworth, Deltenre.

Out- fitted in new uniforms of soldier blue corduroy caps and skirts, matching blue knee-length hose and white flannel jack- ets, the thirty-one members of this corps have marched at all football games, Fall and Sprin goponings, at the annual Christ- mas parade, at the dedication of the via- ayton. duct, and have performed in junior high assembly. New blue jackets and White bushies with blue fountain plumes were purchased for the drum majors. The big- gest thrill for the members of the corps was their fist out-of-town trip, made in the schol bus to Neodesha to march in the Santa Claus parade. The membership consists of seventh, eighth, and ninth grade girls who buy their own uniforms and instruments. Di- ane Stewart and Colleen Cayton are the drum majors, Drusilla Fowler, Phyllis Page '72 Carroll, and Myril Ann Culp are the twirl- ing majors. The instrumentation includes fourteen snare drums, eight bugles, two bass drums, and two cymbals. The officers are Shirley Crane, com- mander, Marilyn Davis, secretary, and Ruth Ann Clark, treasurer. The director of the corps is Mr. Callahan assisted by Mr. Andrews who gives instructions on the bugle. Wayne Adams is student as- sistant. Miss Helen Lane is sponsor of the organization. Health, Sports in Junior G. A. A. The Junior Girls' Athletic Association, a member of the Kansas State High School Athletic Asociation, was organized nine years ago by Miss Elva Hughes. This year it was sponsored by Miss Aloha Kraus. The purpose of this organization is to promote health, enjoyment, and sportsmanship. The members were divided into teams according to classes. The sports included in this year's schedules were tenniquoits, Page '73 basketball, swimming, tennis, and tumb- ling. The Junior G. A. A., sponsored a new organization this year called the Leader- ship club. This group was composed of girls interested in officiating. The club studied rules of various games and refer- eed games after school. The officers of the Leadership club for the past year were Denia Burnworth, president, and Shirley Remaley, secretary. Awards given by the club are a golden felt shield with the letters G. A. A. print- ed on it received when 400 points has been acquired, the second is received for an additional 300 points and is a school let- ter of the new school colors, crimson and blue, the final award is a golden sun- flower pin for acquiring a total of 1,500 points. The officers for G. A. A. are Alice Ann Callahan, president, Rosemary Callahan, vice-president, Colleen Clayton, secre- tary, Jane Bailey, treasurer, Jeanne Fra- ser, sports manager, Jean Thomas, song leader, Lois Jardine and Mary Lou White- head, cheer-leaders. uniozf' ,prepares for Future The junior high group of Independence is composed of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade students. Although these students occupy the same building as the upper classmen, they have their own so- cial activities. These activities are G. R., G. A. A., Hi- Y, Girls' Drum corps, junior high band, Pep club, basketball, golf and track teams. A junior assembly is presented once every week. The programs of these as- semblies are made up of speakers, out of town entertainers, plays from the drama- tic department, or of junior high stu- dents displaying their talents. The subjects offered to the junior high students are the fundamentals of mathe- matics, English, history, geography, and music to pave the way to more advanced study in the futulre. This year the junior high has accom- plished much in the athletic department. It has also welcomed a few new members to its faculty. As this year draws to a close we see the members of the freshmen group step from their places and enter into a new and exciting adventure for the junior student of today is the senior high stu- dent of tomorrow. l Page '74 I SEVENTH GRADE COLDWELL'S COUNSELOR GROUP Georgia Kourkos, Dorothyl Meacham, Josephine Miller.

Page 76 Junior High Indians Win SEK With a new name, new uniforms, and a newly orgaized pep club to support them, the junior high basketball team of 1941 went through a most successful season. Under the able direction of Coach Joe Wal- lace, the Independence Junior High In- dians, with one of the toughest of sched- ules to face them, won a total of 12 games, losing only one hard fought con- test. By virtue of this record, the In- dians won the South Eastern Junior High League title and were presented with a handsome victory trophy. Also in coordination with the team was the junior high pep club organized in order to afford some support for the team be- sides the student body. With Miss Kraus as their sponsor the pep club completed their first year in good form. Mary Lou Whitehead, Lois Jardine, Adren Keener, and Rivard Lombard were chosen as cheerleaders.

MlSElllHNlHIlS In the planning and composition of a yearbook, it is conven- ient for both the staff and the readers if the book contains certain divisions. This closing division is a complete shopper's guide, joke book, and thanks to a collection of well-planned snapshot panels, a miniature edition of Life or Look con- fined to our own campus and to our own students. The kodak staff under the direction of Mr. Toalson has attempted to mirror some of the incidents and personages of the school year 1940-41 via the camera. There is no better way to preserve the treasures of our school experience. We take this opportunity to thank our loyal advertisers for their support which we greatly appreciate. We hope our year- book may serve as a constant means of keeping the names of these loadings firms before a purchasing public whose ability to buy should increase following graduation. Nor would we forgot the jokes found in this division of our book. You may have read some of them, but it's a safe bet that there are some which will amuse you, and too, since some of them have been applied to your friends, you should enjoy them GVQH H10I'8. We come at last to the autograph pages of the book. You will receive your copy-new, clean, and spotless--and your first impulse will be to keep it in that condition. However, things are much more enjoyable if they are shared with others, and this is a book of friendshipg therefore, put your name on these pages, thus making the most of the autograph section. ,-f1 Charles Smith: Why didn't you answer my letter?
