Text from Pages 1 - 102 of the 1943 volume:

W UHHEIZEE HlHEK IH43 T mr Vi YV Y 'F HHHNHE HIIHYIHHH published by the Senior' Gfass of the fndependence Hggh Scnoof Independence, Kansas ul' Hlwnnn With Victory as our goal-our victories are just beginning. As students we have worked hard for many months in preparation to repay with interest, the coward- ly attack on Pearl Harbor. American factories are pro- ducing much more than ever before. Our training camps are turning out more efficiently trained men faster, and the American people on the home fronts have gone all out for Victory. Our school has taken part in scrap and salvage drives, rationing of food, rationing of gas and of tires. Many Independence students and alumni have gone into the armed forces, just as will many more, before that final goal is achieved. Our position as studetns in high school in one of major importance. It is our duty, not only to contribute and cooperate in every Way, but also to take advantage of our educational opportunities so that We may be better equipped to attain our goal-VICTORY. if i' ir HlHlEHlIHN Dedicated to Victory-may it come soon, may it be complete and may it be the beginning of an eternal peace on earth! The dedication of the '43 Orange and Black was not an easy matter to decide upon. With so many outstand- ing organizations and characters in our midst who might easily have been given this honor it was finally decided that the dedication of the '43 Orange and Black would not be limited merely to a single organization or person but would be broadened to include our 130,000,000 strong. This didication, being the first of its kind, We of the annual staff sincerely hope that We have made a wise choice in selecting this humble method of showing our appreciation to the people of America for their inex- haustible contributions to Victory. 5 1 V +1 ,I H, S E H H H E X r N v-..- ..

Administration What future generations will be the schools will largely determine, and what the schools are boards of education largely determine. Our Board of Education has shown itself willing and anxious to cooperate fully in any program of education that will improve the opportunities of the Independence children and at the same time protect those who support the schools. The members of the Board give unsparingly of their time and talent in order that school policies may be deter- mined and school business dispatched with wisdom. Independence patrons, teachers, and students can enjoy the assurance that comes from knowing they have a Board of Education that is alert to its opportunities and responsibilities, and earnest in its de- sire to maintain and improve where pos- sible the high standard program which has characterized the Independence schools during their history. The members of the Board this year in- clude Mr. R. P. Scott, presidentg Mr. C. W. Hunt, vice-president, Mr. C. V. Dennis, Jr.: Mr. Warren Grant, Mr. S. E McDaniel, and Mr. Marlin Repert.

After four short years of fun and their place due to the war flux in our hard study the seniors have finally at- population. tained their goal-graduation from high school. During their high school years, the seniors have taken part in a number of activities. They have been active in de- bate, dramatics, science, art, and musical organizations. They have been outstand- ing in such activities as football, basket- ball, and are well represented in the Pep Club. Little did the senior class realize when they were juniors that there would be many changes made in their lives at school before they would be able to say, I am a graduate from high school. The out- standing things that have happened this year, of course, have been directly related to the war effort. A number of the boys are already in the service of our country, and the speed-up education program has pushed many of the would-be seniors into college classes. This year's class is approximately two hundred strong. Although many stu- dents have dropped out during their high school training course others have taken Page 17 The class has been outstanding in athletics. This included such sports as swimming, football, basketball, track, golf, and tennis. Through out their four years of high school preparation they have striven to make themselves outstanding in sports. This was accomplished with great success, while they proved them :elves to be superior in the ideal of sports' manship itself. The senior class officers for this year were: Donald Black, presidentg John Ivy, vice presidentg Thelma Maure, secretaryg and Bill Casserly, treasurer. Two seniors we should commend are Jack Barnes and John Ivy. Both have been president of their class during previous years, and this year are members of the student council, and both have served as president of that organization. Looking back at their school life, the seniors of '43 feel that they have complet- ed high school in a commendable manner, and have maintained the standards which were set by the classes which preceded them.

The Junior Gfass As the class of '44 looks forward to its last year in high school it feels a glow of pride in the things it has accomplished during its freshman, sophomore, and jun- ior years. In every activity the junior class has had leading representatives. In scholarship they have average stand- ingg in music they have excelledg in ath- letics they composed six out of ten of the first teams: in the school dance and mili- tary band they have had a large percent- age of members. The special pride of the junior class was its victory in the jeep contest conducted by the school as a part of the Kansas schools jeep drive. The junior class pur- chased a total of 33080.20 in bonds and Page 25 stamps, which is enough to purchase three and one-half jeeps. In recognition of this victory the junior class officers were given the privilege of riding in a jeep in a parade consisting of the senior high, 'junior high, and junior college. To culminate the con- test a Victory party was given the evening of the parade at which time the juniors were given special recognition in the dec- orative scheme used in the gym. The junior class officers are Joe Turner, presidentg David Dennis, vice president, Jacque Tole, secretaryg and Carol Dunn, treasurer. .Sponsors of the junior class are Miss Brown, Mr. Voth, and Mr. Barngrover.

They have proved themselves to be superior in every field of curricular and extra curri- cula activity. They have proved them- selves by mixing with other high school students, showing themselves to be full of fun and to be of more than average intelligence in their scholastic abilities. Bob Revelette, outstanding in football and basketball, holds the position of class president. He is ably assisted by Jo Anne Jacobs, vice-president, Jo Anne Hudiburg, secretarys Clarice Thomas, treasurer, and Eugene Atkinson, assembly representa- tive. Outstanding sophomore students and de- baters make up an important part of the class room and social life. The following are outstanding scholastically: Darlene Dyer, Peggy Jane Hunt, Dorthea Shukers, and Robert Montgomery. The debaters are Dick Scovel, MarTl5TDavis, Peggy Jane Hunt, Eleanor McClaren, Betty Fackler, and Maribell White. Sophomore boys and girls have been un- usually outstanding in social school clubs this year. The F. F. A. contains many sophomore members: James Hastings, Dean Featherngill, Marlin Swalley, aLee Springer, Bob White, Fred Ferguson, and Page 29 A Loren Schenk. The class boasts of five sophomores in the swimming club: Bill Combs, Hadwin Clayton, Rivard Lombard, Jack Schaid ,and Charles Brown. Musical talent has been evidenced by sophomores in the Senior High Drum corps, orchestra, band, and chorus. Jane Glaettli and Sara Ann Navarre have been outstanding in their musical talent as ac- companists. The seeming apparition of the sopho- more class, Joanne and Patricia Wortman are ready to startle the junior class teach- ers with their likeness in appearance. The sophomore class has also been out- standing in football and basketball. Those going out for football were Robert Moss, Bob Revelette, Edward Todd, Donald Tricks, James Carpenter, Marvin Swalley, Neale Post, Kenneth Hull, Junior Gordon, Bill Smith, and Douglas Clark. The fol- lowing were out for basketball: Rivard Lombard, Robert Moss, Neal Post, Walter Renner, Bob Revelette, Edward Todd, don- ald Tricks, Robert Montgomery, and Ger- ald Turner. 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 '45.

Footoczfl' Football for the season of '42 was successful in more ways than one. Although the teams only won two out of seven games, they only lost three league games, which put Independence in a tie for third place with Pittsburg. Football had a different purpose this year than ever before. The war emphasized the need to build strong, sound bodies, and taught the team to fight, and not give up because they were losing. Uncle Sam needs strong bodies and strong minds. The boys realized too that possibly foot- ball was being played for the last time in Independence for the duration of the war. The Bulldogs had a lot of tough breaks again this year. They played their best game in their encounters with the two top teams in the league. They got their worst licking of the season from their greatest rival, Cof- feyville. This year the season was cut short two games due to war. The team did not play Pittsburg and Fort Scott, but added Caney to the list. Under the coaching of Mr. Berringer things were changed a little this year. Co-captains, Jack Barnes and Leroy Barrier were elected to lead the Bulldogs. These boys alternated games as acting captain. Throughout the year, the Bulldogs were led on the offense by the big end, Gale Lehman, while on defense, Dawson Bressie and Jack Barnes did more than their share of the work. With the exception of one player, Gale Lehman, the Bulldogs had no stars, they were a well-balanced team. The Bulldogs this year were the lightest team in the league but because of a fast, deceptive ball playing they played all their opponents a hard, close game. Page 34 Although there were quite a few boys out for football this year the team didn't have sufficient substitutes. The first team had a lot of experience with the following lettermen back from the 1941 squad. Gale Lehman and Bob Sims, both ends, Eddie Hugill and Bill Hillyard at tackles, Jack Barnes and John Ivy at guards, Leonard Kennedy, Leroy Barrier, Don Black, and Jack Fountain, backs. Except for one place the whole team was made up of lettermen. That vacancy at center was filled by Dawson Bressie. As a whole, the Bulldogs of 1942, coached by Mr. Berringer enjoyed the year.

Before the season was over, Coach Milleson had built the boys into one of the best teams the high school has had in several years. The Bulldogs started the season by los- ing the first three games. This would have been enough to have caused many teams to go to pieces, but the team Linder the direction of Coach Milleson lived up to its name. They hung'on and they tried a little harder until, when the season final- ly closed, they had beaten at least once every team they had played with the ex- ception of Chanute. That record speaks for itself. They played Coffeyville in the Regional to see who would qualify for the State tournament. Coffeyville was the favorite by virtue of two earlier wins over the Bulldogs. Still the Independence team defeated the Golden Tornado 29 to 21 to qualify. This was the first time the Bull- dogs have gone to the state tournament since 1938 when they were invited to par- ticipate because of their unusual season's record of only one defeat and that one in an overtime with Pittsburg. At the state tournament they were de- feated by a strong Uttawa aggregation 43 to 30. The men winning a letter for this year's competition are Capt. Gale Lehman, sen- iorg Billy Bob Sims, junior, Dick Gooldy, seniors Floyd Dawson, junior, David Den- nis, junior, Donald Aitken, junior, Jack Caskey, junior, Donald Black, senior, Bill Webb, senior, and Joe Turner, junior.

Tr-ack The 1943 track team started the season with six lettermen, only one a senior, out for practice, and a new track coach. As the school did not decide to have track un- til the night before 'the season was to open, Coach Milleson had to build his team up and get them in condition in time for the Fredonia Carnival, the annual meet with which Southeast Kansas schools open their season. At Fredonia the team placed fifth, taking only one first, that being won by Etz in the 880 yard run. Fredonia, which has one of the best track teams in the history of the school, took first-at their own meet. Next the Bulldogs traveled to Coffey- ville where they entered the triangular meet with Coffeyville and Neodesha only to lose second place to a strong Neodesha team by .3 of a point. Gene Etz and Danny Main took the only firsts'those being in the 880 yard run and the high hurdles respectively. , ' The last meet, held at Independence, was a triangular with Neodesha and Altamont. There again Neodesha beat,the Independ- ence boys by a close margin of one-third of a point. Page 37 Season Coach Milleson plans to take the fol- lowing boys to the Regional meet to see who will qualify for the state meet. The regional is at Eureka, Friday, May 7. The boys making the trip and the events in which they will participate are-as fol- lows: Main: High jump and high hurdles. Maugans: Broad jump and 440. Etz: 880 yard run and 880 relays. Dawson: Broad jump and relay. Romine: Relays. Hugill: Mile run. Turner: High jump and relays. Todd: Pole vault and relays. McGraw: Javelin and relays. Torrence: Relays. Loggan: Relays. The men on the team who were awarded letters are the following: Danny Main, Donald Maugans, Gene Etz, Paul Torrence, Eddie Hugill, Floyd Dawson, Joe Turner, Bill Todd, John McGraw, Darrell Loggan, Bob Romine. Bill Todd is the only senior on the track team. Coach Milleson announced he would have ten lettermen returning for next year.

Back row: Carl Overfield, David Dennis, Ronald Payne, Jimmy Reavis, Don Dancer, Seward Shukers. 3' QOH SQGSOFL Playing without a senior on the team, the golf team won its first two matches this season by one-sided scores. The first match was with Bartlesville, on April 7. In this match the final score was 1315 to 215 with Independence on the large end of the score. The second match was with the strong Coffeyville team. However the outcome was the same as the first match. Even the total score of 1315-215 was the same. Yet to be played on the Independence schedule are return matches with Bartles- ville and Coffeyvilleg also on the schedule for the Bulldogs is the state meet. This year the matches are to be held in Topeka on May 7-8. A The team, composed of Dennis, Moss, Dancer, and Overfield has an excellent chance to place high in the state meet. According to comparative scores the team has the best chance to bring home the state championship it has had in several years. Even though the team shou1dn't win the championship, it has another chance at it next year as the team is composed entirley of juniors. This year the locals are playing under the directions of a new coach, L. E. Mille- son, replacing Forrest Smith who. resigned from the school system last year. Much credit should go to Coach Milleson because along with his teaching of golf, he is coach of tennis and track. Page 38 TENNIS TEAM 1:40 K Fixx, L 'K S2 3912. ,,, .

Tennis Season Q The tennis team began the year with two handicaps, the loss of Edison Shive, number one man of the previous year, and the curtailment of competition bc- cause of the war. Owing to war restrictions, gas and tire rationing in particular, many schools have discontinued tennis as a major sport, consequently bringing about fewer match- es. The graduation of Edison Shive was a loss to high school tennis. Shive, holder of the state championship for the past two years, was missed greatly. Nevertheless L. E. Milleson, who took over the coaching of tennis this year, be'- lieves that he has a well balanced team in Gooldy, Caskey, Black, and Aitkin. He expects them to win their share of the games during the curtailed season. Up to this date the team has had only one match. It was with Bartlesville April Page 39 8 but it was brought to an abrupt finish by rain. The next match will also be with Bartlesville, Thursday, April 22. There are no other matches scheduled for the team with the exception of the state meet, which wll be held at Topeka, May 7-8. Much is expected of the team this year as Gooldy and Caskey are veterans of last year's fine team and both qualified for the state last year. Gooldy was winner-up at the regional, although he was defeated at the state, while Caskey, playing with Chappuie, was also runner-up at the reg- ional but was defeated in the state. Donald Black and Don Aitkin, re- spectively fill out the four-man team. Al- though Black and Aitkin haven't had as much between-schools- competition, they have played a lot of tennis and should take their share of victories at the state. SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL G. A. A.

S ' L fi 241 The senior Girls Athletic Association is a member of the Kansas State High School Girls Athletic Association, which was organized for the purpose of giving girls the advantage of ourdoor and indoor sports. The G. A. A. meets on Wednes- days alternating with the Girl Reserves in the physical education building. This organization is governed by a board of control of which Mr. Stevens, principal of the senior high school, is president. The program, as outlined at the pres- ent time by this board, provides a uniform point system. The girls earn their awards by earning points by participating in var- ious approved sports and activities. Some of the activities which count for points are bowling, swimming, basketball, roller skating, bicycling, and walking. The awards received for these points are as follows: First, the school letter, I, made of felt in the school colors, second, the state letter, K, made of chenille and in the state colors, and third, a gold and brown enamel pin in the form of the let- ter K. The winning of these emblems count as honor points for achievement day. First award is one point, second award, three points, and third award, five points. Schools are classified according to re- quired physical education, elective after- school work, elective physical education during school hours, equipment, and in- struction. Our school is classified in group one. The high light of the organization was the G. A. A. picnic which will close the activities for the year. Elections are held at the end of each year. The officers this year are Rosemary Callahan, president, Ella Mae Deltenre, vice-president, Jo Ann Ellis, Secretary: and Norma Case, treasurer. Miss Elva Hughes is sponsor of the club. - Page 40 TI-IE INDEPENDENCE STUDENT STAFF Top row: Helen Walters. Robyn Ivy. Phyllis Hull, Charles Shoemaker, John Ivy.

Page 42 Werke fndependence Studentn The school paper, The Student, which is published by the students each week throughout the year, offers valuable train- ing for any students who wish to gain ex- perience as journalists. lt has become an important part of our school in giving ac- curate accounts of all school activities. The Student staff ,under the leadership of Miss Lora Todd and the printing in- structor, Mr. Harvey Ray, is arranged so that each student has an opportunity to be on the advertising, editorial, and busi- ness staffs at least once during the year. This year, due not only to the small size of the class but also to the modernization of the paper, its size was reduced from a 15 x 22 to the regular tabloid size of 12 x 20 and also the old style type was replaced by a more modern face. The staff of The lStudent this year has been smaller than in previous years due to the fact that journalism has been re- classified as a solid and many students could not take it. Another reason for the small enrollment is that many of the stu- dents have taken the retzfling courses which enables them to work down town in the afternoons. The Student is made up of several dif- ferent types of material. There are news stories, editorials on a great variety of subjects, features, special columns, fillers and ads. The merchants of Independence, by their advertising, play a most important part in keeping the paper running. It is the duty of those on the ad staff to solicit, make up, and collect for each ad placed in the paper. This year because of the war and ra- tioning the class was unable to attend the annual journalism conference which is Page 43 held at Lawrence. As this is one of the highlights of the school year it was not an easy matter for the authorities to give it up for the duration. During the first semester, owing to the small staff and its inexperienced members, the original staff was kept in tact until the close of the semester. Those who acted as editor-in-chief during the year were Edith Palmer, Helen Walters, and Pat Ketterman. The advertising mana- gers were Dick Gooldy and Leroy Barrier. Helen Belcher was the sole business man- ager for the entire year. Much credit for the successful operation of the paper must be given to Miss Todd and Mr. Ray for upon them falls the task of not only supervising the paper as a whole but teaching each student the proper method of handling his particular job. . The students who made up the journal- ism class this year include Helen Walters, Peggy Witty, Pat Ketterman, Helen Bel- cher, Robyn Ivy, Phyllis Hull, Kathryn Allison, Bill Todd, Gale Lehman, John Ivy, Bill Webb, Charles Shoemaker, Leroy Barrier, and Dick Gooldy. Those students who enrolled in college at the close of the first semester and who were thereby forced to drop journalism for the rest of the year were Jacque Whistler, Edith Palmer, and Rex Lucas. The guide which has determined the success with which the Student has met is firmly expressed in the interpretation of the purpose of the paper: To inform students, faculty, and alumni of our in- stitution's many activities and achieve- 'ments-to unify its many departments- to interpret our school and college to the community and the country. 4,-A Top row: Dick Gooldyi, Thelma Maure, Dale Farr, Helen Belcher, Charles Shoemaker.

Orange and Bfack The 1948 edition of the Orange and Black may be the last annual published for the duration of the War, therefore it seems fitting and proper that the theme of this yearbook should be dedicated to Victory. But may it come early or late, We of the annual staff sincerely hope that we have presented you with a clear and concise record of the achievements of the current year with the fond hope that you Will long cherish it as a constant reminder of your many happy days spent at school. In this second, and perhaps the last, War edition of the annual we have gath- ered our material from a great many dif- ferent sources and it has been inspiring to note the manner in which the citizens of Independence have adjusted themselves to the determination to Win the war. Al- though, through rationing and a scarcity of many necessary materials, it has been a difficult task, We of the staff and our sponsor, Miss Martha Crosson, have pre- sented our contribution to the War effort in a direct effort to prove that as long as a free press and freedom of speech and religion are preserved in our country We will have permanently established a spirit which cannot and which shall not be crushed under the heel of a dictator. The Orange and Black staff this year consisted of twenty-one members among which Were divided the various assign- ments. The editor-in-chief of this the thirty-second publication of the annual was Dick Gooldyg the assistant editors were Charles Shoemaker, Thelma Maure, Dale Farr, and Helen Belcher. The joke editors were Peggy Witty, Hel- en Walters, and Jack Wiggins. The sports editor was John Ivy, and Jack Fountain and Leroy Barrier were his assistants. The advertising staff, under the super- vision of Mr. Ray, was composed of seven members this year which included Rex Lucas, manager, Katherine Allison, Patsy Ketterman, Jacque Whistler, Bill Webb, Jane E. Parshall, and Jack Clarke. To the sponsor of the Orange and Black, Miss Crosson, is due a very great deal of credit as it has been through her gracious efforts that publication was made possible. Special credit also should be given to Miss Lora Todd and Mr. Harvey Ray both of whom contributed immeasureably toward the completion of the '43 Orange and Black.

Girls' Drum and Bugle Corps During the 1942-1943 school year, the Senior Girls' Drum and Bugle corps has firmly held its position among the out- standing school organizations. The girls made their first appearance of the year at the annual Fall Opening, afterwards, they performed between the halves of the first football game of the season. Some of their various performances in- clude the folllowing: marching between halves of every football game when the weather permitted, entering into the spec- tacular exhibitions during the halves of the Junior College football games at Par- sons and Coffeyvilleg participating in the various parades such as the Fall Opening, the Santa Claus parade, and the Bond and Stamp Drive parade, and marching in the Santa Claus parade at Coffeyville. One of the enjoyable social events of the year occured on November 15, when the girls had a chilli supper at Nell Wood- man's. Afterwards they sang songs ac- companied by Miss Betty Hall and spent the time informally. The Girls' Drum and Bugle corps is composed of 32 girls from both Junior College and Senior High school. The of- Page 45 ficers are Jean Braden, commander, Marv Schreck, vice-commander, Rosemary Cal- lahan, secretary-treasurer, and Barbara Defenbaugh, sergeant-at-arms. The or- ganization consists of the following mem- bers. Snare Drummers are Florine Debo Cfirst drummerl, Mary Schreck, Cather- ine Bowermaster, Jane Clark. Marilyn Davis, Joyclyn Thomas, Becky McDonald, Dorothy McGee, Delores Mason. The tenor drummers include Jacque Whistler and Isobel Faurot. The base drummers, Doris Carpenter and Norma Case. The symbol players are Slyvia Baden and Virginia Simmons. The buglers, Meredith Kilkore, Betty Braden, Alice Hackney, Ruth Ann Clark, Eleanor MoClaren, Bonnie Hough- ton, Mary Lee Arnold, and Zola Fowkes.

This year the number was increased to fifty and in- cludes sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The purpose of this club includes arous- ing enthusiasm for various school activi- ties, sponsoring special pep assemblies, and cooperating in civic enterprises on special occasions. The two most import- ant ones this year were the Christmas parade and the tuberculosis bangle sale. Each year the club has a special initia- tion for its new members. The club meets every Tuesday at sev- enth period. Every member is expected to be present. If a member is absent from two consecutive meetings, she is dropped from membership unless the circum- stances are extenuatory. The high light of the year is the annual recognition dinner which is given for the lettermen of the various athletic teams and faculty guests. The year's club has upheld the high standard of previous clubs. The club has done this with its increased membership and the restriction that any one who is a member of the band or drum corps at the end of the school year will not be eligible for the pep club in the fall semester. The highest honor that can come to a pep club girl is to be elected Queen for the Thanksgiving game by the football squad. Robyn Ivy was crowned the Queen of 1942 in the pep assembly, November 13. Her attendants were Alta Mae Baker, Patsy Katterman, Thelma Maure, and lane Ellen Parshall. Since its organization the club has had three sponsors. Miss Zella Spradling-1926-32. Miss Lora Todd-1938-40. Miss Elva Hughes--1933-37 and 41-42. The officers of this year's club are as follows: president, Ruth Jean Benifieldg vice president, Diana Dunn, secretary, Thelma Maureg and treasurer, Grace Irma Coldwell.

At the Southeastern Kansas League meeting early in the term, all of the member schools but two, Coffeyvllle and Independence, had definitely withdrawn from debate compe- tition for the duration. Because of insufficient enrollment in the usual tourna- ments, most of them were cancelled, We were planning to hold the district tournament here, but both Coffeyville and Fredonia, the only other entries, withdrew their teams a week before the opening round. In spite of the unsettled conditions there were six students who spent many hours preparing and practicing debate speeches. They deserve credit for working hard even though they knew their opportunities for inter-school com- petition were practically nil. These students were Marilyn Davis, Betty Fackler, Peggy Jane Hunt, Eleanor McClaren, Maribell White, and Dick Scovel. Assisting them were Lewis L. Coprporon, speech instructor, and Patricia Dunn, junior college speech student. glee can The girls and boys have successfully completed another year of vocal music. Under the supervision of Mr. Ben O. Evans, both clubs appeared during the Psalm Sunday program at the Memorial hall last April 18. Mr. Evans is leaving the school this spring after four success- ful years of teaching music in the senior high school. The girls' glee club also appeared on the Christmas concert which is given annual- ly at the Memorial hall.

Hgh Scftoof Orchestra The Senior High School and Junior College Orchestra is one of the smallest that we have had in recent years. How- ever, a well-balanced instrumentation and above average proficiency have made the organization highly superior both as to quality and concert performance. This year the orchestra participated in the annual Christmas Concert, playing Beethoven's Fifth Symphony as its major concert work. Performances have also been given at the local U. S. O., for the officers and men at the Independence Army Flying Field, and a special concert was presented for the senior high and junior college in April, several light class- ics and two sacred numbers being played. Under the competent direction of Mr. C. O. Brown, director, and Mr. Baird, in- structors of stringed instruments, the orchestra has made substantial progress, and high hopes are held for a very su- perior school symphony next year.

Page 48 Page 49 BAND Although it's membership this year is somewhat smaller than that of previous years, the Independence Junior College and Senior High School Band has furnished the school and community with the same high stand- ard of music. It has contributed to school spirit by playing at the home football and basketball games, and pep assemblies. It has participated in a number of parades. This year out of town trips were made to Parsons and Coffeyville. In December the Band participated in the annual formal Christmas Concert, given by the entire music department at the Memorial Hall. In February, as an additional service to the community, the Band played a very enjoyable concert at the Independence Air Base. The repertoire of the Band includes not only classical music, but also semi-classical pop- ular, and martial selections. ' The band this year has been under the successful leadership of Professor C. O. Brown who came here last fall from Southwestern Col- lege at Winfield, Kansas. B Ffat Crarinr-t f-Orville Roberts, Carl Faler, Robert Felts. Junior Gordon, Glen Amick. Doris Sage, Ruth Schulfv.

Jack Clark, Wynuna Doss, Wayne rac en, o Dvamafics Glad Due to the war activities of the Drama- tics club, its usual schedule has been some- what curtailed. Many short plays have been taken out to the nearby rural schoolhouses, social clubs, and different churches in the city. Among the short plays presented were I Pledge Allegi- ance, Arrival in Person, Bread, But- ter, and Romance, and Christmas Awakening. There were two long plays presented this year. The college play, Incognito, and the high school play, 6'The Phantom Dirigiblef' The cast of the latter was composed of the seniors of the club with the assistance of a few juniors. The steps for becoming a member of the Dramatics club consist of taking part in two short plays or one long playg a per- formance alone and with a group, a menial taskg and an original play or stage version of a famous short story. One may join the club before completing the steps mentioned in order to become a recognized member. Only recognized members are permitted to become officers in the club. The motto of the Dramatics club is No matter what may happen, or how tired or hungry you may be, the show must go on. The members have found out that to make a play a success one 'has to abide by this motto wholeheartedly. Meetings are held each Friday evening after school. The club members work on plays and readings after school hours and in class and they are always ready and willing to present them when asked. Much credit is due to Miss Ingleman, who is the sponsor of the club. The officers for this year are Wynona Doss, presidentg Ralph Anzelmo, vice-pres- identg Diana Dunn, secretary, Phyllis Thomas, treasurer, Wayne Bracken, sergeant-at-arms. Page 50 Meredith Kilgore.

Hggh Schoof pfay Under the direction of Miss Anna In- gleman, the high school dramatics de- partment presented the mystery play of the year entitled The Phantom Dirigi- ble. The scene for the play is set in the liv- ing room of the Cliff House overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The plot centers around the new occupants of the house, Eva Manners, her nephew, Jack Lowell, their servants, strange visitors, and the secre- tive search for an object of importance to the United States Government and to its enemies. The first scene takes place before the war in the living room of the Cliff House. The occupants begin to receive warnings to move from the house soon after their arrival. Upon their refusal to do so, the phantom dirigible appears. This is the ghost of a dirigible which had been wrecked sometime before on the cliffs near the house. Everyone on board had been killed or disappeared. As the action of the play comes to a swift climax, we find that the object of the search is a certain formula which had been lost when the dirigible crashed, and later hidden in a concealed passage way by one of the dirigible's surviving passengers, Jason Ke' N ', e - turn for it at a later date. The enemy agent also searching for the formula is Page 51 Niki, Japanese house boy, hired by Mrs. Manners. Many complications arise. Finally, the treachery of the house boy is brought to light by Laurette Birdsall, government agent and her aides, Mrs. Birdsall, Jack Lowell, Swami Ramma, his daughter, Ra- nee Swamma, and Jason Kearns. Ronald Boles and Lucia Baron are the actors who became involved in the search for the lost formula. The cast of characters follows: Maggie McGinty .......... Jeanne Fraser Niki ,...,........ ......

These are the three ideas around which the programs are plan- ned. About 35 members of the club meet in the girls' gym every two weeks. The club, an active one of service, was carried on as usual this year despite the elimination of certain sports and activities to fit in with the school war program. Girl Reserves gave their annual Christmas and Thanksgiving basket to a needy family. The club sent members to summer camp at Nekagaha and five girls attended the annual conference at Neode- sha. Ten members were present at the Girl Reserve get-together at Coffeyville this winter. A mother-daugter tea took the place of the usual mother-daughter banquet this year. Mrs. C. O. Braden gave the inspir- ation talk. The tea included the college Y. W. C. A., Senior Girl Reserves, and Blue Triangle and Blue Star Girl Re- serves. About 120 mothers and daughters attended the tea. The social activities were enjoyed by all. The annual get-together party and the heart-sister week were carried out successfully again. Heart-sister week is the week before Valentine's Day. Each girl chooses an unknown heart sister at the first of the week. Notes and small gifts are exchanged in secret through the week and at a meeting at the end of the Week ,the girls find out who their heart sister is and exchange final'gifts. The Girl Reserve sponsor this year was Miss Morrison. The cabinet is com- posed of Jeanne Hibbens, president, Mar- tha Spellman, vice-president, Alice Ann Callahan, secretary, Norma Arnold, treas- urer, Gwen Grant, program chairman: Rosemary Callahan, finance chairman, Betty Braden, service chairman, Mary Schreck, conference chairman, Ella Mae Deltenre, publicity chairman, Mary Ann Post music chairman, Jocelyn Thomas, devotions chairman, Martha Spellman, membership chairman, and Jacque Tole, social chairman.

SQHLOF To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character is the underlying and fundamental aim of every Hi-Y club. Although the membership of this year's club is somewhat smaller than in the past, the group is still one of the most active organizations in the Senior High school of Independence. It consists of twenty-nine members, who meet reg- ularly on Friday, and is under the super- vision and able leadership of a new mem- ber of the faculty, Mr. L. E. Milleson. The club meetings are planned in such a Way that they help the members live up to the high ideals that they have set for themselves. They are designed not only to be educational and interesting but also to better prepare the members for a successful and happy life after they no longer are in school attending their club meetings. The Hi-Y also participates in many act- ivities aside from their regular meetings. Hz- Y This year the club ran the football con- cession stand. The proceeds enabled the club to carry out a number of projects. Social activities have not been forgotten this year but have been carried out with the idea in mind that it means good whole- some fun and entertainment for all of its members. Several mixers were held. The first was early in the year, and the second traditional mixer was held during the latter part of the year. The Senior Hi-Y has finished another successful year as it has accomplished its goal of bringing boys together in a closer friendship. The officers for this year are David Dennis, president g Marlin Taylor, vice presidentg Donald Aitken, secretary, Clyde Osborn, treasurerg George Peterson, program chairmang Calvin Vann, devo- tion chairman, Neal Post, World brother- hood chairmang and Jack Caskey, service chairman.

It was organized in 1934 and nam- ed the Medical Interest Club. At that time it was sponsored by E. J. Castillo, who retired from teaching last year. The name was soon changed to the General Science Club because the members wished to be- long 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 inthe Junior High building for the museum. When they se- cured the services of Mr. Elmer Banion and Prof. Alexander Baird and with their help the club refclassified all of the spec- imens. The same year they joined the Kansas JuniorAcademy of Science, and have been a member up to this time. For the last few years, the museum has been greatly increased through dona- tions and by field trips taken by the club. In 1937 Mr. Banion gave the club a fine Indian relic collection and in 1940 Mr. John Bertenshaw gave them a splendid collection of sea shells and corals. Dr. Bullock talked to the Science Club on plants from which we obtain many of our drugs and explained for what pure- pose they were used. He also showed the location of each drug, using a large map in his demonstration. Gene Etz also gave a talk on model airplane motors and gave a demonstration with one of his motors, This year a new sea-gull has been added to the museum and some Confederate paper money donated by Mr. Bertenshaw. On March 19 of this year the Science Club gave a special assembly during the fifth hour period to the Senior High. Us- ing a sheet and a light, giving a silhouette effect, Doctor Jack Sherwood performed an operation of an undecided nature much to the enjoyment of the audience. The officers this year are Jack Sher- wood, presidentg Robyn Ivy, vice-p'fesi- dent 5 Norman Fitz, secretaryg Jane Bailey, treasurerg Eloise Alford, program chair- man, and Patty Todd, museum chairman.

Home Shampion 61116 The Home Champion Club is composed of girls who have had one or more years of Vocational Homemaking. The purpose of the club is to supplement the classroom program. The theme of the year was per'- sonality and good grooming. Meetings are held twice each month on Thursday after school in room 306. Various types of programs are held. The outstanding program for this year was a sacred Christmas assembly sponsored by the Home Champions Club. Other sources of meeting were training in parliamentary drill, outside speakers, and talent from within the club. At each meeting group singing and games are enjoyed by all. Better Homes, Better Meals, Better Citizens is the motto of the Home Cham- pions Club. Blue and white are the club's colors and the club's flower is the rose. Some of the outside activities include serving banquets and dinners for various organizations. During the year the club has enjoyed several parties, including a Christmas Party, Valentine Party, picnics, and other outdoor activities. The officers of the Home Champion Club for 1942-43 were Darlene Van Dress- er, presidentg Phyllis Hull, vice presidentg Ruth Schultz, secretaryg Jane ,Louise Glaettli, treasurerg Lena Mae Smith, pro- gram chairman, Virginia Purinton, song leaderg and Sara Ann Navarre, pianist. Much of the progress of the club is due to our sponsor, Miss Maxine McKenzie, in- structor of Vocational Homemaking. Page 55 Page 57 The Activities of the Junior H SCAQQZ E. R. BEVAN, P1-incipai The Junior High School in one of the important units of the In- dependence educational system, and is housed in the junior high school building, along with a large number of students of Senior high school and juior college classification. Although housed in close proximity to these upper educational units, the junior high school has been given a teaching staff and administration all its own, and has its classrooms as completely segregated as is physically possible at the present time. Seventh and eighth grade boys and girls now are housed exclu- sively on one floor of the junior high school, and physical education classes in junior high school have exclusive use of the two junior high locker rooms and gymnasiums. A separate office now serves as the clearing house through which junior high school policies and activities are planned. All these attempts to stress the junior high school as a separate unit h.as had many pleasing results, and these results have highly justified the efforts expended. The studies and activities of the j uior high school have been planned so as to give a student a basic foundation, free of frills, upon which his later successful educational and social development is dependent. Funda- mentals necessary for later training are stressed, and guidance and in- struction are given to fit students for the eventualities of a fast changing world. The social and extra-curricular activities of the junior high school are not neglected, and much planning and time is spent on these phases of school life. The junior high school attempts to fit its students for later social life by creating activities of a social nature where boys and girls are brought together in pleasant, wholesome surroundings. It can be seen therefore, that the junior high school, while bridging ' ' ' ' ' s ofits students at the present time, is also attempting to equip these students in a manner which will enable them to meet the challenges of the future.

The ideals and purposes of this organization have been largely founded on those of the Senior Hi-Y and are conducted in a manner that will prepare the boys to continue their work in later years as members of the Senior Hi-Y. The Junior Hi-Y club is a part of the national Y. M. C. A. fellow- ship. The club has as its four principles: clean athletics, clean living, clean scholarl- ship, and clean speech. New members are selected each year by the old members on the basis of their per- sonal merits, including personality, wil- lingness, and relizisus outlook. This years members are John Bray, iLowell Smart, Max Hendrickson, Harold Washington, Tommy Smith, Robert Wilson, Le Roy House, Cecil Hunt, Gene Britton, Jerry Webb, Richard Ridgeway, Danny Leffing- well, George Childers, James Underwood, Cleo Pruitt, Ormand Gillen, Carl Mibeck, Billy D.

The Junior Hi-Y club was founded six- teen years ago by Mr. L. C. Heckethorn, formerly a member of the school faculty, and was sponsored by him at various times until 1939. This year Mr. Goforth is acting as sponsor of the group. The club work has been accomplished under the direction of a Hi-Y cabinet. The cabinet officers for the year were Jack Evans, president, Bob Cooley, vice presi- dent, Ormand Gillen, secretary, Max Hendrickson, treasurer, Gene Britton, de- votions: Tommy Smith, world service, Cleo Pruitt, world brotherhood. The social activities of the year were planned to bring home to every boy the purpose of the organization, to furnish wholesome entertainment, and to further clean living. The cabinet attended the district Hi-Y meeting at Havana last fall. Several parties and a picnic were held as a way of entertaining the boys. Some excellent speakers were enfjoyed by all of the boys. Many character-build- ing programs were held and among them worthwhile service projects including an assembly program. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS First row: Clayton, Belcher.

The Junior High Drum and Bugfe Govps The Junior High School Drum and Bugle Corps is in its sixth year as one of the musical organizations of the school. During its existence the corps has per- formed at football and basketball games, at various civic parades, and in assembly programs. Because of transportation dif- ficulties the corps has made no trips out of town this year. Members buy their own uniforms consisting of blue corduroy caps and skirts, and white flannel jackets. There are twenty-eight members in the corps including one drum major, one twirl- ing major, three twirlers, twelve buglers, ten snare drums, and one bass drum. Dru- silla Fowler is drum major, Nancy Belcher is twirling major, and Marry Ellen Dun- ton, Beth Ann Clayton, and Myril Ann Culp are twirlers. This year the members have purchased books and are learning to play by note. Practices are held each Tuesday and Thursday during seventh period under the supervision of Mr. Johnson, director of the corps. Miss Lane is sponsor of the gro-up. Attendance at practice is required and a reward will be given in the spring to the girl with the best record. Officers of the corps are Commander, Myril Ann Culp, Vice Commander, Joan Shermang Secretary, Shirley Jo Deang Treasurer, La Vor Wright, Reporter, Mary Ellen Duntong Sergeant-at-arms, Drusilla Fowler.

Junior Basketdaff - The junior high basketball team closed a successful season not in as much as that they won a lot of games but in that they had a lot of fun and obtained something they all greatly needed, experience. They played a six game schedule and gained valuable experience they will need next year when they play again for the junior 'high or when they go out for senior high basketball. P They started out with a win against Elk City playing the best brand of ball that they showed all year only to come back a few days later to lose a close game to Coffeyville. From then on they were an up and down team. The team under the direction of Mr. Vincent, the junior high basketball coach and the junior high school physical educa- tion instructor, at times played some good basketball and some of the boys gave evi- dence that they could develop into players that would be useful later on senior high +teams. Mr. Vincent was a capable and patient coach who helped the boys in many ways. Junior high competition not only provides the boys with a lot of good, clean fun but it gives them basketball exper- ience that will prove useful in senior high later. Two of the most interesting games of the season as far as the boys were con- cerned were played with men of the faculty as opponents. The faculty won both of the games but not without quite a little effort and not a few minor injuries. The boys in junior high who letter in 'basketball this last season are Bill Starr, ninth grade, Charles Diamond, ninth grade 3 Seward Shukers, ninth grade, Ben- ny Boswell, eighth grade, Jack Evans, ninth grade 5 Dick James, ninth grade, and Emerson Clark, ninth grade.

The Junior' Hrgh Schoof pep gfuo The Junior High School Indians Pep Club was organized in the year of 1940. The purpose of this club is to maintain enthusiasm, school spirit, loyalty, and good citizenship. New members of the club were initiated in October. This initiation event has a double purpose. It not only is fun for everyone, but it is a test for sportsman- ship, a necessary characteristic of every good pep club member. Our club has been unable to appear as a group in full cos- tume due to the fact that new members could not get uniforms. In previous years the pep club has ac- companied the team to out-of-town games. Because of the transportation problem, the club has been able to appear only at home games. Provisions were made to al- low the club to attend senior high school and junior college games in a group and help keep up the morale and spirit of the school. Page 71 The club took part in the Christmas Parade. On February 7 an assembly pro- gram sponsored by the pep club was given It consisted of a one-act play entitled P's and Q's , and singing by a girls octette. This play is the first to have been pre- sented by an entire junior high school cast. Cheerleeaders were chosen in assembly by a vote of the student body. Those elect- ed were Shirley Remaley, Deania Burn- worth, Frank Moses, and Gene Wentworth. Officers who were elected in the club were president, Mary Jane Callahan, vice president, Mary Lou Rader, secretary, Shirley Hybargerg treasurer, Nancy Belch- er, reporter, Drusilla Fowler. Sponsors of the club are Miss Emily McKenzie and Mr. Earl Bevan. Membership is open to all junior high students. A member must be the owner of an activity ticket and must have pass- ing grades.

And SAVING is the key to security. A regu- lar saving plan coupled with a carefully balanced spending of one's income should be an early goal in life.

FIRST It is never too early to begin to save SECOND A part of all you earn, is yours to keep Begin your own saving program now. Out of your first income, regardless of how small it may seem to you, decide that it shall be set aside for an investment in some form that will create other income. Our facilities for saving are at your disposal and our personnel will be glad to assist you in any way to achieve a successful saving program.
