Herein lies our tribute to the aviation industry ; an industry born of this century, an ' industry which did much to bring about the modern living conditions of the Pre-Pearl Harbor era, an industry which since that time has converted itself quickly and efficiently to meet the needs of an all-out war effort, an industry which is providing aluminum wings for the American Eagle to keep him flying unchallenged. Locally, attention is being turned upon aviation as the airport project materializes. A generation ago, isolation and stagnation awaited the town without a railroad. In less than a generation hence, the same may be true of a town without adequate air facilities. The airport will be located six miles southwest of Independence, and the cost of it will be some $350,000.00 Later it may be expanded for use as an army or naval air base. The Independence Municipal Airport is a project designed to keep our town in tune with today. As a student and a person of the 1940 ' s, y ou will find aviation playing an increasingly import taking C. P. T. trainin forces, and the rest of a defense that inc The clas f ' 42 e will be air ?.

Graff, our new flighit commander, has taken command and has started the student pilots on their way. Under the expert leadership of Mr. Graff our training school is sure to become one of the best in the land, turn- ing out aviators capable of flying through many storms. lOP I III [CI inn I IIIDI BOARD OF EDUCATION TOP ROW: C.

Miss Florence E. Harper is Clerk of the Board. Superintendent Willard J. Graff is an ex- officio member. The Board of Education enjoys the hap- py working relationship that is so es- sential to the successful administering of a school system. The various members have shown themselves willing and anx- ious to cooperate fully in any program of education that will improve the oppor- tunities of the Independence children and at the same time adequately protect those who support the schools. Thev have given un.sparingly of their time and tal- ent in order that the school ' s business might be carried on with dispatch and wisdom. Independence teachers and parents can enjoy the assurance that comes from knowing they have a Board of Education that is alert to its opportunities and ob- ligations, and diligent in its desires to maintain a .sanely progressive school sys- tem.

[ i The Senior Cadets of ' 42 have finally attained the goal they have been striving for, that of graduation from high school. The members of the class have taken part in many school activities such as de- bate, dramatics, science, art, and musical organizations. The class of ' 42 has been well represented in the Pep club, Drum corps, and school band. They have taken part in many extra curricular activities. The class of ' 42 is proud of its scholastic ability through the four years. Although there was no honor roll this year, the members of the senior class have always been strongly represented in past years. As freshmen they were just embark- ing on their high school careers. When they were sophomores they were begin- ning to realize the importance of their high school education and as juniors they were doing their best to earn the title of seniors. They have come through their high school years in times of worldly strife and dissention. Many members of the class have joined the armed forces of the Unit- ed States and it is inevitable that many more will join upon being graduated. The class is approximately 200 strong. Although many students have dropped out since entering the freshmen class, many new ones have joined the ranks. Their class has not been an outstanding one in athletic events, but a large num- be ' - of seniors have lettered in athletics throughout their fov.r years of high school. Much of the credit fo the success of the senior class of ' 42 goes to the faculty, principal, superintendent, and school board. The senior clas. officers are outstand- ing students. Bud Sands, president, was also president of the sophomore class. Patsy Nees, vice president, also held this office in her sophomore year. Jim Rag- lin, secretary, was president of the junior class. Charles Moss is treasurer, and Do- lores Regan, assembly representative. Miss Ary Lewis has capably filled the position of class sponsor. Looking back at their school life, the seniors of ' 42 feel that they have com- pleted high school in a commendable man- ner, and have maintained the standards which were set by the classes which pre- ceded them.

D y ' [S ' 4 4 The sohpomore class under the direc- tion of its officers are off to a flying start in their high school career. They are out to win their wings, and judging by the part they have played in this year ' s activities, the goal will not be difficult to achieve. Members of the class have proved their ability in maintaining scholastic standings and in joining with spirit and enthusiasm in the extra curricular activities of the school. They ' re on the campus, in the clubs, at the parties, in the classroom, and in the halls adding gaiety and life, add- ding beauty and brains, adding fun and frolic to the social functions and daily activities of the school. Donald Aitken, outstanding scholastic- ally and athletically, holds the position of class president. He is ably assisted by Dorothy Stephenson, talented musical student. Ella Mae Deltenre, winsome stu- dent of art, is class secretary; and laugh- ing Jeanne Fraser, is treasurer. Dorothy Griffin, gay and friendly, is assembly representative.

Billy Bob Sims has been an invaluable addition to the senior high basketball team and greater things are expected of him in the next two years. Eddie Hugill and Donald Dennis are also on the basket- ball team. Jack Caskey participates in the spring sports, particularly tennis. The class is adequately represented in the cultural classes of the high school. Jack Clark, Carol Dunn, Leon Sherwood, Billy Trumbly, Mary Lou Whitehead, and Jacqueline Tole have appeared in the shorter dramatic productions, and next year will be seen in the long plays. Sweet Alice Ann Callahan and cousin Rosemary, contributed to the school with their musical talents. And Joe Turner ably represents the class in debate and public speaking. These are but a few of the talented sophomore members of the school, but they serve to illustrate the abilities and potentialities of the group that will proud- ly form the class of ' 44. i Page 40 Mil |] Top PietiKC — Ton Row: George Dennis, Chailes McBride.

Il[ [ Cl[ Since 1926, when the Girls ' Pep Club was first organized by Miss Zella Sprad- ling, it has been the custom for this club to help arouse enthusiasm in the student body and interest in the various sports events. The club consists of tweny-four girls — sixteen seniovs and eight juniors. The eight juniors are the ones that elect the members for the following year. 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 money raising activ- ities, and the support of the teams. A great deal of credit should go to Miss Elva Hughes, sponsor of the organization, who worked untiringly to promote the success of the club. During the football season Miss Dolores Regan was elected football queen by the team. Mary Jo Potter, Virginia Bryan, Patsy Nees, and Alta Mae Baker were chosen to be her attendants. The club presented an effective assembly program at that time, during which Dolores was crowned. Later she was presented an auto- graphed football by the team. The Pep club gave their annual letter- men ' s banquet March 24 in the school cafeteria. Following the banquet a dance was held in the physical education build- ing. The officers this year have been Vir- ginia Bryan, president; Wilma Lou Jar- dine, vice president; Dolores Regan, sec- retary; and Shirley Gaughan, treasurer. Page 44 Since membership in the Dauber ' s cUib is not Hmited to those enrolled in a full time art course, any high school o junior college student who has had two full years of art may have the opportunity of engaging in the club ' s activities. The first trip was a Sunday visit to the Winfield high school art museum to ob- serve and study a collection of South American prints by outstanding contem- porary artists of our neighboring Amer- ican countries. Other activities included a memorial service in honor of Grant Wood, an out- standing mid-west artist of a neighbo state, Iowa. An exhibit and talk about her doll col- lection was given by Mary Schreck. The club decorated the third floor windows at Chirstmas. These windows were painted in tempera to simulate stained glass church windows. The designs were plann- ed by Bill Campbell and executed by Rob Robley and Bill Campbell with the as- sistance of a number of club members. Illeane Littrell, a sophomore in the jun- ior college, has served as president this yea . Illeane plans to major in art educa- tion and has shown outstanding ability in lettering and metal work and should make an able teacher. Other officers of the club are Thelma Maure, vice-president ; Martha Brown Master, secretary first semester; Beryl Adams, secretary second semester; Mar- tha Spellman, treasurer.

Coach Wallace had twelve lettermen among these around whom he could build his team. The final standing of the season did not show the actual strength of the fight- ing Bulldog team, for they finished in the lower division. The team, however, often outgained and out-played their foes only to lose by a small margin or to have the game end in a tie. The Canines started the season against Fr edonia in a game that was expected to be a walkaway for Fredonia. However, the Bulldogs gave warning to their S. E. K. opponents by holding the Yellowjack- ets to two touchdowns, scoring one them- selves. In competition within the league, the Bulldogs won one game; lost three and tied three. In no game during the sea- son did any team make more than two touchdowns against the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs also outscored their opponents during the season. The team finished the season against Coffeyville in the annual Thanksgiving game with a nip and tuck battle which ended as a scoreless tie. On the S. E. K. all-star team Van Dolah won a place at end and Dick Herron with Jack Fountain were given honorable men- tion. Van Dolah won honorable mention on the all-state team. Coach Wallace lettered twenty-three men of this year ' s team. They were Wayne Van Dolah, Carl Atkisson, Wayne Brad- bury, Charles Huff, Rob Robley, Roland Case, Robeii Laird, Bud Sands, Dick Her- ron, Eldon Scott, Wendell Elliott, Charles Moss, Jack Barnes, John Ivv, Billv Bob Simr. Gale Lehman, Bill Hillya-d, Eddie Hugill, Jack Fountain, Leroy Barrier Leonard Kennedy, and Don Black.

[1BII[ Despite the fact that the Bulldogs oc- cupied a low position in the league stand- ing this year, they played every team a close game. They cHmaxed the season by defeating the lola Mustangs, the fourth place holders and the only team to break Parsons string of twenty-two victories. This year the team was composed of two former lettermen, Edison Shive and Jim Sherman. The boys had plenty of height and weight but very little exper- ience. Excess fouling and poor free throwing was the dominant factor in many of the losses. Also the inability to make baskets was costly. The Bulldogs- had more and better chances to make bas- kets than any team they played. The outstanding feature of the squad was the sophomore team. It won every league game by large scores and twice de- feated Bartlesville Central, which was con- ceded to be the second best sophomo-.-c team in Oklahoma. Throughout the first half of the sea- son Independence was a first half team. The Bulldogs led every game at the end of the half and then had a poor third quarter and were unable to overcome their opponents lead during the last quarter. In the regional tournament, they were beaten by Chanute by only two points, and Chanute went on to win the tourney by defeating Coffeyville.

Starting off the season with the annual inter-class meet the seniors, who as jun- iors last year won the event, were leading all the other classes by a large margin when rain prevented the completion of this event. The Fredonia Relays were next on the list for the thinclads. There they met the best competition of the state and fin- ished fifth. Bradbury set a new shot put record at this meet, tossing the iron 46 feet 21 2 inches. Coffeyville and Bartlesville provided the next competition for the sun-starved locals. They finished a strong second there. At the time of the printing of this book the Bulldogs had just finished fourth at the large Coffeyville Invitational which was run off in the rain. Remaining on the schedule are a dual meet with Coffeyville here and the com- bined S. E. K. and Regional meet at Pitts- burg. Coach Floyd Barngrover, who has ably piloted the track team, will assume the duties of the woodworking department and relinquish his coaching of the track and basketball teams at the close of this season.

Several promising men reported for prac- tice. The out.standing freshman was Robert Moss who was the winner of the school tournament. He was the only freshman to make the team. In the same tourna- ment. Gene Wortman, a senior, was run- ner-up; and Carl Overfield and David Dennis were third and fourth in that order. Overfield and Dennis are both sophomores this year. Many boys proved their interest in the sport by reporting to Mr. Smith for the first practice of the year. The golf team is composed of freshmen, sophomores, and seniors. There are no juniors on the team. Gene Wortman, Charles Moss, Rob Robley, Carl Wyckoff, and Roland Case are seniors and will be lost from this year ' s squad by graduation. Other mem- bers of the team are Robert Moss, a fresh- man ; David Dennis, a sophomore ; Donald Dancer, a sophomore; and Carl Overfield, also a sophomore. The golfers have played in four meets up until the time the annual goes to press. In an invitational with Bartlesville, Cha- nute, lola, Coffeyville, Caney, and Inde- pendence, the locals took the four-man team, tw ' o two-man teams tied with Cof- feyville, and were third in individual low score. They lost a dual meet with Coffey- ville, won in a three-way match with lola and Caney, and also took a dual meet at lola. At the time when the Orange and Black goes to press the Regional and S. E. K. meets have not yet been held. However, these meets are to be combined and held at Pittsburg on Saturday, May 9. Coach Smith deserves much praise for the fine showing made by the locals on the links during the season as he has worked many long hours to get the boys in shape for the matches and in preparing them for the regional tournament. Page 50 This year the Bulldog tennis team is one of the strongest in the state. The mainstays of the team are three of last year ' s lettermen, Edison Shive, Bill Cha))- puie, and Dick Gooldy. Nearly all of the rest of the team is made up of sopho- mores, who were on the junior high team last year. Of the entire ten men, onl ' three are seniors: Shive, Chappuie, and Elliott. Although the schedule was cut down because of the war emergency, the team has made a fine showing in nearly all of the matches they have played. In the invitational tournament at Inde- pendence at the first of the season, the Bulldogs claimed three of the four final- ists. Shive defeated Gooldy in the sin- gles, and the doubles team composed of Chappuie-Caskey was defeated in the double finals. In a two-match trip to Kansas City, the team won every match from Paseo and dropped a close one to Wyandotte 4 to 3 on the following day. They were again defeated in a close match with Coffeyville a week later. Although at this time the S. E. K. and Regional meets have not been played, the Bulldogs are expected to do well in both of these meets. The winner of the Reg- ional and the runner-up are entitled to enter the state meet at Wichita on May 15 and 16. This year the team is coached by Mr. Fred Cinotto, the new science teacher, who replaced Mr. Wilmont Toalson. Edison Shive Bill Chappuie Dick Gooldy Bill Caskey Don Black Don Aitken Page 51 SENIOR G.

HI n n n U n U. ■ The Senior Girls ' Athletic Association was organized for the purpose of giving girls the advantage of outdoor and in- door sports. This organization meets ev- ery other Wednesday in the girls ' gym and programs are presented by the dif- ferent girls at each meeting. The girls are presented with point sheets on which to keep a record of points earned in un- organized activities. With these points the girls win emblems which they work very hard to obtain. Some of the activities in which the girls participate are as follows: bowling, swimming, basketball, roller skating, bi- cycling, and walking. Parties are al?o planned by the girls during the year. The different commit- tees are chosen by the president so that each girl may take part in something. A good time is always had by those who come. There are games, dancing, sports, and refreshments. Miss Elva Hughes is the sponsor of this organization. The girls believe they couldn ' t have a nicer leader. In order to make money for the club, the girls have cookies sales, and candy sales. They usually make enough money to buy emblems which the girls earn dur- ing the year. Elections are held at the end of each year and the girls elect the officers for the following year. The officers for this year are as follows: president, Marcine Crowe; vice-president, Jacqueline Whist- ler; secretary, Virginia Bryan; treasurer, Virginia Hinman. Page 52 Activities of G. A.

Page 53 CI The 1942 Orange and Black staff has tried to make this annual one that will live in the memories of the students of Independence high school. They have at- tempted to make it a record of the achievements of the school and its pupils. From the earliest times men have tried to keep a record of their triumphs and de- feats. At first, however, they had no easy time doing this. They had no paper, writing materials, or alphabet. One of the earliest methods of recording an important event was to raise a huge heap of stones to commemorate it, but this was not satisfactory because per- sons who knew nothing of the event were unable to understand it by just looking at a pile of rocks. Next man sculptured pictures on rocks. Then he chiseled letters on clay tablets. Finally a kind of paper made of reeds was invented, and at last the paper that the world knows today was discov- ered. The Phonicians introduced a simple alphabet which was elaborated by the Greeks and Romans until the alphabet of today was reached. Printing has grown from the use of wood blocks in the Orient to the intricate, skill-requiring art of to- day. Many men were responsible for its growth. Among them are Gutenberg, Jen- son, and Caxton. One hundred years ago this annual would have been an impossibility. Today TOP ROW: Clara Jane Hendrickson, Retha Foster. Betty Tharp.

As usual this year the staff is made up of the students from the journalism and printing departments. Miss Todd and Mr. Thurman have tried to place them in the staff positions for which they were best fitted. By recording the events as ac- curately as possible, this staff has tried to make the 1942 Orange and Black one both interesting and informative. Aviation has been chosen by the staff as the theme of the 1942 Orange and Black. This has proved to be a well- chosen subject as nothing is in the public eye so much today as aviation. The staff has tried to make this issue of the Orange and Black one to be remembered both in theme and in its pictures and stories. The help and guidance of Mr. L. E. Thurman, printing instructor, has been in- valuabue to the staff members. He should receive a great deal of the credit for the success of this year ' s Orange and Black. Our editor-in-chief has spent much time and effort seeing that stories were as- signed, written, and in on lime. The three assistant editors have helped her in every way possible. A search for new and funnier jokes was conducted by the joke editors. They have tried to make the ones in this yearbook jokes that will really bring laughs. Miss DeLury, who collected most of the junior high snapshots, and Donald Scofield, who took many of the others, have assisted the kodak editors in trying to get pictures of as many stu- dents as possible. Linoleum blocks were carved by the ad department under the direction of Miss Frances Weeks. The sports editors have attempted to cover all the reports efficiently. With the coopera- tion of the local merchants the advertis- ing staff has succeeded in obtaining plenty of advertising for the annual. The staff is composed of seniors who are tak- ing journalism or printing. Miss Todd, journalism instructor, aided the editorial taff. The 1942 Orange and Black staff is as follows: Clara Jane Hendrickson, editor-in- chief; Betty Tharp, Jules Funston, and Retha Krone Foster, assistant editors; Shirley Gaughan, Ben Berg, and Vernon Frisbie, joke editors; Christine Callahan, Lila Mary Schaub, Barbara Davii- ' , and Zelda Mae Swearengen, kodak editors; Bill Chappule, Bob Elliott, and Jim Raglin, sports editors; Bud Sands, Vernon Carpenter, Leo Ringle, Ted Dunton, and Charles Huff, advertising staff. Page 55 il Mm JkiM To inform students, faculty, and alumni of our institution ' s many act- ivities and achievements — to unify its many departments — to interpret our school and college to the com- munity and the country is the pur- pose of The Student. The Student is the school paper published weekly by the students of journalism under the able supervi- sion of Miss Lora Todd, journalism instructor. The entire process of turning out The Student is accomplished in the school with no outside assistance. Mr. L. E. Thurman, print shop in- structor, and his printing students print The Student. There are three divisions among the students editing the school paper. These consist of the editorial staff, advertising staff, and business staff. Fo-; the past several years, it has been the custom to change staffs every nine weeks so that each person may obtain experience in each of the three separate fields. Christine Callahan was the sole busines-s manager for the entire year, but her assistants were rotated. Those who acted as editors-in-chief during the past year a ' e Retha Krone, Shirley Gaughan, Betty Tharp, and Jules Funston. The students who headed the ad- vertising staff for nine weeks each are Jean Braden, Lila Schaub, Bar- bara Davis, and Bud Sands. TOP ROW: Ben Bert ' , Bill Bonde. Jean Braden. Christine Callahan.

There are news stories, editorials on a great vai-iety of subjects, features, columns, fillers, and ads. The feature columns this year con- tained several new ideas. In a ser- ies of Know Your School features, pictures were taken of the various departments in school and their work was explained. Another type of feature was the Personality Re- view in which outstanding students were put in the spotlight. The column included the Specta- tor, changed later to the As We bee It, the Inquiring Reporter, ' ' the Sports Shorts, and the Class- ified Ads. The Independence merchants by their advertising, play a very im- portant part in keeping ' The Inde- pendence Student rolling off the press. The ad staff solicits, makes up and_ collects for these ads. Every year, a state journalism conference is held at Lawrence, and this year, there were fourteen who attended. Those who went on this trip included Betty Tharp, Jean Bra- den, Lila Schaub, Christine Calla- han, Zelda Mae Swearengen, Diane Revelette, Shirley Gaughan, Jim Raglin, Ted Dunton, Leo Ringle, Fred Crane, Pete Carpenter, Dean Stephenson, and Bill Bonde. These students attended several lectures on student journalism and stayed to attend the K. U.-Iowa State football game. Miss Todd accompanied them. The Student observes each un- usual event during the year by spec- ial page make-up, features, or an ed- itorial dedicated to the subject. An unusual April Fool edition was put out and on Christmas, Thanks- giving and Hallowe ' en special cuts were put on the front page. There were twenty-six students who took journalism for the entire year 1941-1942. Those who took the subject are pictured above. They include Ben Berg, Bill Bonde, Jean Braden, Christine Callahan, Vernon Carpenter, Bill Chappuie, Fred Crane, Barbara Davis, Ted Dunton, Bob Elliott, Vernon Frisbie, Jules Funston, Shirley Gaughan, Harold Grant, Clara Jane Hendrickson, Marietta Jones, Retha Krone, Jim Raglin, Diane Revel- ette, Coleen Ringle, Calvin Rodgers, Buddy Sands, Lila Mary Schaube, Dean Stephenson, Zelda Mae Swearingen, and Betty Tharp.

Under the direction of Jay Andrew.s the senior high and junior college orche.s- tra has held a prominent place in the school activities this year. The orchestra took part in the annual Christmas concert with the glee club and band. This year it played at the junior college play, You Can ' t Take It With You; the high school play, One Mad Night ; and at the senior play. For the third consecutive year the orchestra play- ed the accompaniment for The Holy City on Palm Sunday. It also appeared at the baccalaureate sermon. For the first time the junio high and senior high have had separate orches- tras. This has provided two orchestras ready to play on any occasion and also has made it possible for the members of each organization to receive more indi- vidual instruction. In his first year as director of the orchesti-a, Mr. Andrews has succeeded in developing the oganization both in size and in quality. A great deal of credit should also be given to Alexander Baird, who has capably assisted M-. Andrews. Mr. Baird holds a position which is im- portant in any high school orchestra, that of instructor of st inged instruments. Several college students and a number of the members of the band have played in the orchestra this yea-. Also some of the members of the orchestra have played in the concert band.

The Independence senior high school and junior college band has completed an active, successful, and enjoyable year. Guided by Director Jay Andrews, who took the controls this year after Maurice Callahan entered the United States Army, the band presented a program at the an- nual, Christmas concert in conjunction with the high school and college choruses and orchestra. It furnished music and stimulated pep at football and basketball games, took part in a program sponsored by the physical education depa tments, assisted with the pageant, Americana, and played a concert preceding the Com- mencement exercises, in addition to tak- iwj several out-of-town trips and ex- changing several performances with Cof- feyville and Parsons in the Santa Claus parades. In June, 1941, the band repres- ented the local Lions ' club in a parade at Wichita which opened the state wide Lions ' convention there. The Independ- ence organization was the official band of the parade and was first in the line-of- march. A new policy was adopted this year in which no junior high players were al- lowed to play in the senior high band and the class practice time was divided with the orchestra. This system will greatly benefit both the junior high and senior high bands. Four sousaphones, four tromboniums, four French horns, and one euphonium were added to the equipment of the band this year. A total of eighteen new in- struments have been obtained in the hst two years, and the instrumentation hag been gretaly improved. Mr. Adolph F. Borberg served capably as assistant director and instructor this year. Page 59 DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS TUP ROW; BrandenburK. Roller. Belcher. Clayton. S. M.N.ill.v. TifuL-r, Ca f. Ca.lahan.

This organization, composed of both senior high and junior college students, made its initial appearance at the annual Fall Opening and gave a marching demonstration the same evening between halves of the first football game of the season. The Corps per- formed at football games when the weather permitted, joining in a mass demonstration with the pep clubs and the band for the Thanksgiving home- coming game with Coffeyville high school. The Corps also participated in the marching exhibition at the Coffeyville Junior college game. The Corps went to Caney, where they marched in the Armstice parade, afterwards at- tending a dance at the Caney high school gym for persons in uniform. In addition, the Corps appeared in Christmas parades at Independence, Coffeyville, and Parsons. Perhaps the most impressive show given by the Drum Corps was during the half of the Independence-Iola basketball game. This was made up of an intricate drill that received much applause. On March 19, the Corps appeared in the Spring Opening Welcome Parade. The social event of the year was March 29, when the Corps enjoyed dinner at the home of Commander Aileen Furnas. Following the dinner, the members and their escorts went to the gym for dancing. The officers for the year are Aileen Furnas, Commander ; Martha Mae Perry, vice-cimmander ; Annice Clayton, sergeant-at-arms ; Betty Tharp, secretary-treasurer. The Senior Drum and Bugle Coi-ps is sponsored by Miss Mary Self, and directed by Mr. Jay Andrews, who have given their time, interest, and effort to the Corps in order that it might be an oganization of which Independence justly can be proud.

B This is the twentieth active year for the Dramatics club. The chib was first originated in 1922 by Miss Anna Ingle- man ' s English classes and was called the Dee Dee club. Bobby Takes a Look was the first play to be presented by this club. Requirements for membership include various public appearances, a menial task, and an original play or a stage version of a famous short story. There are 8 of- ficial members in the club this year, and 74 others who are not official members. Anyone who is in senior high school may belong to the club but only those who pass all requirements may ba official members. Only official members can be officers in the club. The club tries to p oduce three plays — the college play, the high school play, and the senior play — each year. You Can ' t Take It With You was the college play and One Mad Night was the high school play. You Can ' t Take It With You was presented one night. One Mad Night was presented at a matinee and an evening performance. Meetings are held each week. The club members work on plays and readings and they are always ready and willing to pre- sent them when asked. The members ap- pear on assembly programs, clu.b plro- grams, at rural schools, and before civic groups. Some of the short plavs that have been presented this year are A Man ' s Castle, Be Home By Midnight, Never Trust A man, Eether or Evether, Romance Is a Racket, Elmer ' s Big Date, Those Christmas Gifts, Elmer Cleans Up, Dress Reversal, and Pop Reads the Christmas Carol, which was the annual Christmas Play. In the past years the dramatics club has entered the dramatics contest at Lawrence, Chanute, and Pittsburg. The entrants have always ranked among the best and have always brought homa more than their share of the honors. Entries are usually made in dramatic reading, or- ation, declamation, extemporaneous speak- ing, interpretive reading, and drama. But this year, due to war conditions, the Dra- matics club did not go to any contest. The officers for this year are Bill Camp- bell, president; Patsy Nees, vice-presi- dent; Wilma Whitlow, secretary; Berna- dette Roberts, treasurer; Dorothy Melton and Eldon Scott, pogram chairmen; and Clara Jane Hendickson, reporter. The motto of the Dramatics club could be said to be No matter what may hap- pen, or how tired or hungry you may be, the show must go on, and so it does. Miss Anna Ingleman, who is the spon- sor of the eclub, spends not only club and class time but also many long hours out- side of school time conducting rehearsals. The ultimate success of any production is due to Miss Ingleman ' s efficient direc- tion. Page 63 1 J [l[G[ P The story of You Can ' t Take It With You, centers around a family who believes in gaining wealth, not in terms of money, but in fulfillment of life — thus creating a free and easy way of life. Complications arise when the young daughter wishes to marry into a very wealthy, socialite family. It is then that she becomes torn between loyalty for her family and desire for them to become a little more sensible and correct. Be- tween the exploding of fire woi ' ks and temperaments, these problems are worked out. Mr. Glenn L. Kready assisted Miss Ingleman in the di- rection of the play.

Except for R. J. Osborn, who is a college student, the cast was made up of high school stu- dents. One Mad Night takes place in the Cutter mansion in New York. Don Cutte , a play-wright, accompanied by Wing, his proverb-quoting Chinese valet, goes to the Cutter mansion, a lonely house in the hill?, to complete his latest play in peace and quiet. The house has been deserted for years, a series of mysterious murders having given it the reputation of being haunted. Imagine Don ' s astonishment when he finds the house tenanted by a number of very strange people. They are lunatics, under the care of Dr. Bunn, ONE MAD NIGHT Left to rJKht— Duncan, Scott, Elliott, Tharp, Osburn, Whitlow, Hendrickson. Davis. Campbull. Uryan. Ijury. whose nearby home has burned. They are really quite harmless, but Don doesn ' t know this. Among the inmates is Lucille, a beautiful girl, who is actuall y sane. Like a true Lockinvar, Don is just about to ride to her rescue when his fiancee and her mother put in an appearance with their maid. Depression. From this point, everything happens, including talking ghosts, screaming women, disappearing gueets, and the appearance on the scene of a supposed murderer fleeing for his life. Don succeeds in rescuing the lovely Lucille from a sinister fate only after a series of thrillingly funny escapades.

About one hundred girls participated in the activities of the club, each girl be- longing to one of the ten committees. The club held its meetings every two week, having various programs — musical, devotional, talks — to provide for the en- tertainment. The ten committees met once each month to take care of their various duties. Much was accomphshed this year. The club gave baskets to families at Thanks- giving time. Easter baskets were given to the less fortunate children at Easter. A Christmas party was given also for the children. The Nees hall Christmas decorations were put up by the Girl Reserves mem- bers. Scrap books were made to be sent to the hospital. The club sent one girl to Camp Neka- gaha near Joplin. It also sent eleven girls to Emporia for the Girl Reserves confer- ence. The girls carried out the old custom of having a Mother-Daughter banquet, which always is an outstanding event dur- ing the year. The social activities were enjoyed by all. The Hi-Y and Girl Reserves enter- tained each other with parties. The get- acquainted party and heart sister week were fuccessfully carried out again. The club sponsors are Miss Morrison and Miss Coldwell. The officers were Helen Wright, president; Jeanne Hib- bens, vice-president ; Jean Walters, sec- retary ; Martha Spellman, treasurer; Dor- othy Melton, program chairman; Retha Kone, finance chairman ; Grace Irma Cold- well, service chairman ; Barbara Davis, conference chairman; Norma Arrold, pub- licity chairman ; Ruth Jean Benefiel, mu- sic chairman; Georgia Mae Montgomery, devotions chairman ; Jeanne Hibbens. membership chairman ; and Barbara Dei- enbaugh, social chairman. To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character is the purpose of the Senior Hi-Y club, one of the high school ' s most active or- ganizations. The membership of the club consists of over forty boys who meet weekly with Mr. Babcock, a leader who has shown much patience and resourceful- ness in his duties as sponsor. It is under his leadership that the club has become affiliated with the national organization for the first time. The regular weekly meetings of the club are planned so as to help the mem- bers live up to the high ideals outlined in the purpose of the Hi-Y. Meetings fea- ture much variety. They are generally started with devotionals, followed by a speaker, business discussions, or some other form of intra-club activity. Many interesting speakers vifited the club this year and all were greatly appreciated. The Hi-Y club also engages in many activities aside from the regular meet- ings. This year to raise money the club ran a concession stand at football games, sold pencils with the basketball schedule printed on them, and ran the Hi-Y book exchange at the beginining of each se- mester. Proceeds from these sales bought several Christmas baskets for needy fam- ilies, bought one of the new pennants for the gymnasium, and helped send some members of the club to Camp Wood and to the Hi-Y conference at Ceda ' ;vale. Social activities have not been neglect- ed either. The annual mixer was held in Page 66 the fall and for the first time the Hi-Y had a dance with the members of the Girl Reserves as guests. This dance followed a scavenger hunt given for the Hi-Y boys by the Girl Reserves. Officers for the year just concluded are Edison Shive, president; Jack Barnes, vice-president; Bud Kors, secretary; Jim Sloop, treasurer; Ted Dunton and Wendell Elliott, program chairmen ; Bill Halsey, service chairman ; George Peterson, Bible chaiman, and Bud Sands, publicity chair- man.

SUliCt The Science club, one of the few educa tional clubs in the school, has been an active organization for the past eight years. It was organized in 1934 and named the Medical Interest club. At that time and until 1937 it was sponsored by Mr. E. J. Castillo. The name was soon changed to the General Science club be- cause the members wished to belong to the national organization of the same name. The club was given a room in Nees hall in which they started the first school museum. In 1937 Mr. Parley W. Dennis took over the club and has ably sponsored it ever since. The same year the club was able to secure a room in the junior high building for the museum. When they se- cui-ed the services of Mr. Elmer Banion and Prof. Alexander Baird and with their help, the club re-classified all of the speci- mens. The same year they joined the Kansas Junior Academy of Science, and have been a member ever since. For the last few years, the museum has been greatly increased through dona- tions and field trips taken by the club. In 193 F Mr. Banion gave the club a fine Indian relic collection and in 1940 Mr. John Bertenshaw gave them a splendil collection of sea shells and corals. This year the club has been more suc- cessful that it has in years past since a new system for the preparation of pro grams has been inaugurated. Each mem- ber was responsible for one program dur- ing the year instead of having one pro- gram committee to get all of them. For one program, the group visited Dr. Clark ' s office and he demonstrated the flouro- scope and the X-ray. Other guest speak- ers included Dr. Choguill who spoke about the new sulfa drugs ; Monta Fay Archer, who spoke about her short wave radio; Mr. Stockebrand, who spoke about his trip last summer, and also some of the members of the club. The officers this year are Bill Chap puie, president; Robert Meyer, vice presi- dent ; Ida Lef ever, secretary ; Alfred Ba- den, treasurer; and Coleen Ringle and Burnadette Roberts, program co-chair- men. Page 68 Composed of the girls enrolled in the vocational homemaking, the Home Econo- mics club, better known as the Home Champions club, was organized this year. The purpose of the club is to supple- ment the program and activities that are introduced in the classroom. Meetings are held twice each month in the girls ' gym. Various types of programs are held. The most outstanding program of the club this year was the Christmas pro- gram given for the girls and their moth- ers and the faculty. Other sources of meetings are training in parliamentary drill, practice in public speaking, and fel- lowship and good times for all. At each meeting group singing and games are en- joyed by all. Bet.ter Homes, Better Meals, Better Citizens is the motto of the Home Cham- pions club. Blue and white are the club colons and the club flower is the rose. Miss Maxine McKenzie, . ' •ponsor of the club organized the Home Economics club early this fall. This is the first year there u n has been a homemaking club in this school. Outside activities include serving banquets and dinners for various organ- izations. This spring the club served the annual Letterman ' s banquet in the school cafeteria. During the year the club has enjoyed several parties held in the girls ' gym. A kid party was the biggest social event for the club. Big hair riblions and -hort dresses were again put on to re- member the school days of not so long ago. Barbara Davis has served as the first P ' ;efident of the club. Other officers are Georgianne Jenkins, vice-president; Cath- erine Jones, secretary; Eleanor Bullock, treasure ; Lila Mary Schaub, progam chairman; Jeanne Frasier, song leader; Virginia Simmons, pianist; and Gwen Grant, games chairman. Each girl serves on a committee. The committees and chairmen are Lena Mas Smith, family; Dorothy Swank, Red Cross; Frances Lang, medicine; Gwen G ant, project; and Jackie Tole, welfare worker.

This unit of the school provides a connecting link between the grades and senior high and allows for the development of the adolescent. Mr. Earl Bevan is the principal of the junior high school. The studies and activities of the junior high include those which lay the founda- tion for the necessary educational and so- cial development of the student. The sub- jects are designed to widen the outlook of the student and to give him the funda- mentals for his later training. The stu- dent receives guidance and instruction as to the part he does play, and the larger part that he wilt eventually play, in a changing world. The social and extra-curricular activ- ities of the junio high are designed to make school life even more pleasant and to function as a training ground for his later social life. Through it the boys and girls are brought together in surroundings harmonious to their interests. The junior high, therefore, provides an opportunity to furnish boys and girls with the equipment they will need to carry on the daily activities of their increasingly complex hves.

After a few years because of its popularity the membership became so large that it was necessary to divide the organization into two groups, the Blue Star Girl Reserves and the Blue Triangle Girl Reserves. Now afte- nineteen years they are among the most popular clubs of the junior high. The purpose of the organization is to teach the girls to be — Gracious in manner Impartial in judgment Ready for service Loyal to friends Reaching toward the best Earnest in purpose Seeing the beautiful Eager for knowledge Reverent to God Victorious over self Ever dependable Sincere all the time Around Thanksgiving and Christmas time every year food is collected by the girls and baskets are given to the needy. One of the main events of the year is the Mother-Daughter banquet held in the spring. Each group holds its meetings once every two weeks, but on several occas- ions joint meetings have been held. An interesting and educational program is provided for each meeting. Much of the success of the organization is due to the effo ts of Miss Helen Lane and Miss Ethel Wahl, sponsors of the Blue Star Girl Reserves ; and to the spon- sors of the Blue Triangle Girl Reserves, Miss Bernice McNiel and Miss Grace Crocker. The officers of the Blue Star this year have been Colleen Clayton, president; Shirley Remaley, vice-president ; Clarice Thomas, secretary ; Nancy Belcher, treas- urer; and Virginia Ray, song leader. The officers of the Blue Triangle have been Patsy Harris, president ; Jane Louise Glaettli, vice-president; Mary Jane Cal- lahan, secretary; Mary Belle Farlow, treasurer, and Shirley Crane, song leader. The activities of both goups are conducted with the help of the service, program and devotion committees. Page 80 To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character, i ; the purpose of the junior Hi-Y. This club is composed of approximately 40 junior high school boys. The ideals and purpose of the club ai ' e similar to those of the senior Hi-Y. This is important in making its membei ' s become active and efficient in the senior organization. The club has as its principles the four C ' s: clean athle- tics, clean living, clean scholarship, and clean speech. Each year the old members elect a num- ber of new members into the club. These boys are chosen because of their personal merits, including personality, willingness, and religious outlook. The club was founded in 1927 by Mr. L. 0. Heckethorn. Mr. Heckethorn re- mained sponsor of the club until 1937 when Mr. Campbell took over the sponsor- ship. In 1939 Mr. Heckethorn resumed sponsorship of the club. This year Mr. Clark has taken the leadership duties of the organization. Many of the weekly programs are of a character building nature. These include devotions and talks given by the boys and by outside speakers. However, not all the meetings are serious. As some games are played and humorous contests are held. Among their activities this year the members participated in a scrap metal drive. The club had a party in the gym, and a picnic was held just before school closed. The officers for the year were Bob Montgomery, president; Allen Brown, vice president; Neal Post, secretary; ancl Cleo Pruitt, treasurer. The club also has several committees headed by members. Bill Spellman was service chairman. The Bible study chair- man was Gene Brittain. This year ' s world brotherhood chairman was Jack Ev- ans, and Neil Burris was program chair- man. They have helped the club progress by their efforts and hard work. This has been Mr. Cla ' .-k ' s first year as sponsor of the organization. With ths cooperation of the officers and other mem- bers he has succeeded in making this year a successful one for the club. JUNIOR HI-Y FRONT ROW: Mintun. Underwood. St. John. Rhodei. Cline. Conner.

Outfitted in uniforms of soldier blue corduroy caps and skirts, matching blue knee-length hose, and white flannel jackets, the corps has made smart appearances at football games, at the halves of the basketball games, at the Armstice parade, and the spring and fall openings. The group also went to Neo- desha to participate in the annual Christ- mas parade. Any girl in the junior high school who will buy her own uniform and instrument is eligible to try out for the corps. Coleen Clayton is the drum major; Mary Ellen Dunton, Nancy Belcher, Myril Ann Gulp, and Drusilla Fowler are the twirling majors. The oficers a e Ruth Ann Clark, com- mander; Nancy Belcher, vice commander ; Darlene Dyer, secretary; Jane Clark, treasurer; ancl Shiley Crane reporter. The d ' rcctor of the corps is Mr. Bo berg, and the organization is under the able spon- sorship of Miss Helen Lane. The junior Girls ' Athletic Associ ation which has been well organized in p evious years has been fortunate in having Miss Maxine Gibbs as the .sponsor during the pa. ' t year. The G. A. A. teams for practice and tournament games were divided equally Page 82 among 14 members of the Leadership club that was composed of seven teams. Thus each team had two captains and 22 mem- bers. The teams took part in a number of activities. They were tenniquoits, volley- ball, table tennis, basketball, tennis, base- ball, and swimming. Most of the girlf took part individually in the uno;ganized activities such as shuffle board, horse- back riding, bicycling, bowling, skating, walking, golf, and hiking. After each activity this year, a party has been held. A skating party for all girls in the organization was held after the tenniquoits season. After volleyball the girls who had participated in the act- ivity had a party to which boys were in- vited. The evening yas spent in games and dancing. A picnic was planned for the girls who played basketball. A banquet will be held after the baseball season is over. At this banquet the awards will be given to the girls. The parents will be in- vited to attend. The officers for this year a e Annelle Cochrane, president; Peggy Jane Hunt, vice-president; Colleen Clayton, secretary; Mary Belle Fa:iow, treasurer; Lena Mae Smith, sports manager; Dorothea Shuk- ers, pianist ; and Shirley Jo Dean and Joan Dancer, song leaders.

J 1 ■ The 1941-1942 edition of the Independ- ence junior high school Indians basket- ball team was not as successful this sea- son as its immediate pi ' edecessors who won the championship in 1940-1941. How- ever the boys still managed to win a good share of the games played. From the last year ' s title winning team only one let- terman and a few squadmen returned. Faced with the tough proposition of re- building a completely new team from in- experienced rookies, Coach Joe Wallace started to work. Early in the season the results were discouraging but as the sea- son progressed and the new boys gained in experience, things began to look bet- ter for I. J. H. S. The opening games of the season found Independence coming out on the short end of the score but once the Indians tasted victory they were hard to stop. Evidence of this fact can be found in the example of how Humboldt defeated the junior high cagers in the first contest between the schools 18 to 14 but in the return engage- u u ment the locals won 30 to 19. This was the case in a number of games. The returning letterman Robert Moss was ably assisted by Edward Todd, James Carpenter, Gerald Turner, Neal Post, Don Tricks and Robert Montgomery, all of whom lettered this year. These boys were the mainstays in the locals ' defeat of Neodesha in two non-league games and should prove valuable to the senior high basketball squad in the following years.

The club uniforms are Indian sweaters, red skirts, white shirts, red and blue ank- lets, red and blue hair ribbons, for the girls. The boys wear Indian sweaters, white shirts and dark trousers. A constitution was made by the Pep club and each member was given a copy. The club participated in the Thanksgiv- ing formation at the football game at Shulthis stadium. An initiation party was held in the new gymnasium, December 1. One hundred students were invited, sixty-five of whom were new member. . The new members were blindfolded and led through low tunnels and narrow passages. They climb- ed steep steps, ate queer things and per- formed other feats common fo ' ; initiation. After the blindfolds were removed games were played. Later, refreshments were served. Miss McKenzie, Miss Hughes, Miss Gibbs, Mr. Bevan, and Mr. Allen as- sisted as chaperons. The group took part in the Christmas parade, it being the first time the cheer- leaders appeared in uniform. The Pep club sold lapel pennants for a money making project. The penants were red with the word Indians in blue. They were sold for 10 cents each. The club was invited to attend a senior high school basketball game to help the senior high Pep club boost morale. They contributed much to the success of the evening. On April 17, a banquet was given at the Presbyterian church by the Pep club to all the junior high basketball boys, Coach Wallace and other members of the facul- ty. After the dinner a dance wa.5 held in The cheerleaders, elected in junior as- the high school gymnasium, sembly, were Peggy Jane Hunt, Shirley Crane, Joe Bob Spangler, and Billy Jack Miller. The officers were president, Mary Belle Farlow ; vice-president, Joe Bob Spangler ; secretary, Joan Dancer; treasurer, Ceclia B ' edehoft ; news reporter, Jo Ann Ja- cobs; sergeant at arms, Stanley Lewis. The sponsors were Miss Maxine Gibbs and Mr. E. R. Bevan. Page 85 JUNIOR HIGH ORCHESTRA u The junior high orchestra is composed of the different instruments of the string, woodwind, brass, and percussion sections. The string section is made up of the violins, cellos, violas and bass viols ; the brass section is composed of the cor- nets, trumpets, a trombone, and P ' rench horns ; the woodwind section is made uj) of the clarinets, flutes, and a bassoon ; and the percussion section consists of the drums and a piano. The junior high orchestra is a small organization of about thirty-five persons. In spite of the fact that all of its mem- bers are in junior high school, this or- chestra is capable of playing some diffi- cult numbers. Some of the selections which may be heard at any of the con- certs presented by the orchestra are Petite Bourree, Romanian Fantasy, Atilla, and Cavalier Overture. The students are also working to improve thei playing of the Hungarian Dance, Cos?ack Revels, Spanish Dances, Aida-March, and 0 Belle Nuit. The orchestra meets on Tuesday and Friday of each week. The first few min- utes of each hour are used in taking the roll and tuning the instruments. Then the rest of the hour is spent in good hard practicing. Although the orchestra is doing very well this year the director, Mr. Borberg, believes that it will be much better next year because all but a few persons who are in the ninth grade will still remain in the orchestra. For the first time, this year the junior high orchestra was sepaated from the senior high orchestra. The students who will be in the tenth grade next year will automatically become members of the senior high group. FIRST VIOLIN— John Arpo. Myril Cuip. Lawrence I ' airbanks.

Page 8() JUNIOU HIC.H HAND The school is proud this season to pre- sent a junior high band. Last season the band was composed of junior and senior high members, but since it reo ' rganization it is made up entirely of junior high stu- dents. To be a member one must have suf- ficient training to meet the requirements considered necessary by the director. He must be able to read music. Last year the school bought fifteen new instruments. This has greatly helped the organization. This band is composed of eighty stu- dents, twice as many as in previous years. The group is under the competent direc- tion of Mr. Borbei ' g, a new instructor who is well liked. The black and white uniformed band has participated in four parades, played for several football games and basketball games, and has played for several junior high school assemblies. They have been working on marches for athletic events and also on concert pieces. They have two favorite marches, Activity and Legioniers on Para :le, ' This is the first time the junior hifrh band has had the privilege of having its picture shown in the annual. The group is striving for the same standard of per- formance as in the senior high band, and they are endeavo ing to give to Independ- ence a junior high band of which it may be proud.

Against that day, fix in your mind the name of BURGER-BAIRD. It will then be a more important fact to you than dates (historical — not the other kind) or irregular verbs or formulae. For while there are other good engravers, there is only one Burger-Baird. Good plates? Yes, the best, and pride in their craftmanship. Prompt with them, too. But the main thing that keeps Burger-Baird the best known name among middle-west en- gravers seems to be— well, call it savvy. It means interest and understanding, not merely for the engravings, but for your larger objectives as well. People seem to like that, and so, no doubt, will you. Keep us in mind, won ' t you?

Tom McGrath — Well, an elephant can have fleas, but fleas can ' t have an ele- phant. _ The lecturer was emphasizing the de- moralizing effect of divovce.

Dafynitionf — The Mediterranean and the Red sea are connected by the Sewage canal. A great uncle is father of an uncle which has a nephew. Extradition is tradition which is no longer believed.

Mr. Stockebrand (who had gotten out of the car to investigate) — Puncture. Mrs. Stockebrand — You ought to have been on the lookout for this, you re- member the guide warned you there was a fork in the road. Wayne Smith wa? confiding to Delbert Bryan that he found grammar very tick- lish. Wayne — For instance, I never can re- member whether to say It is I or It is me. Delbert — I can give you a good rule, just say to yourself this rhyme: It is r said the spider to the fly, and there you are. A few days later they met again, and Delbert asked if the rule worked. Wayne — Well, it would have, but for one thing. I coudn ' t for the life of me remember whether your rhyme was It is I ?a. d the spider to the fly or It is me, said the spider to the flea. A manor house is where they teach manners. They don ' t build them now. Mrs. Anderson — What can we presume from the fact that men ' s brains are la ger than the brains of a woman?

Bill Zonde — Yes, sir, I had it changed in case you wanted to give me a reward. Mr. Sanders — Troubled with dispepsia in school today? That ' s a strange thing for a boy to have. Dick Sanders — I didn ' t have it; I had to spell it. Page 116 GOING TO COLLEGE?
