'IEFISHEII E EULA QECIELJEEJ A Message to the Class of 1935 0 The graduating exercises of 1935 will mark the transfer of your status from active to as- sociate, f r 0 m student to alumnus, but in no sense should the schoolts interest in your welfare become less vital. VVe are proud to see you go in the same sense that the mother takes pride in the growth and advancement of the normal child. In quite the same manner we experi- ence the lonely usinkingn sen- sation which every normal parent must endure as the m a t u r e offspring departs from home to devote his at- tentions and interests to a home of his own. As with the parents, this lonely feeling can be allevi- ated only by your frequent return to us in person or through word of your ad- vancement and success-dis- tinction in college, a vocation of service, happy marriage or any indication that we may have helped you build a foun- dation fo r happiness. W e shall be sorry to disclaim you as students of K. H. S., but shall be equally p r o u d to point to you as worthy alumni of the old school. The memories of each class become more sacred the far- ther removed in point of time. May we continue to serve you and share with your parents the joy of your success just as we have shared with them the pleasant responsibility of your training. -J . L. Engelhardt.

There have been ups and downs, joys and sorrows, work and play, discourage- ments and exhilirations. So- cial contacts have been con- tinuous. These have taught you the lesson of give and take. They have afforded numberless opportunities to help fellows in need, to show kindness and consideration, to give the word of cheer. In and through it all, you have had the wonderful opportun- ity of acquiring something of the vast accumulation of ex- perience and culture ot' the ages. And what is the result? You all have become better educated, we trust. And the educated, according to the old philosopher, differ from the uneducated as the living jif- fer from the dead. And so it is very fitting to congratulate you who have persevered in the school-a place which has aided you to gain a vievw of the meaning and method of real living. We wish you, each one, a life ot' happiness, full- ness, and true prosperity. My final word is: Don't stop growing when you re- ceive your high school di- ploma. Whether you go to college or not, the process ot' education is not complete un- til you reach the grave. ---L. N. Gish. Four Y ears -Q-.

Please meet the faculty in rh me and verse, And after all the might have been Worse-- For saying an more 'tis neither time or place And anyway We don't have enough space. Mr. Kaufman can't play a fife, But he managed to get himself a wife. His wife, he informed, his eggs to poach Being's he's a wow o f a n athletic coach. .-Q. After all is said and done Teaching history ain't no fun, She chose matrimony instead- Well! Well! For Miss Forney there's trouble ahead. ...Q1 Button, button-who's got the button? If you want to know ask Miss Sutton. She knows how to cook and sew, And she makes lovely biscuit dough. 1Q1 Mr. Regier is the musician, In the school he holds this position, He works from early till late, His first practice beginning at eight. 10. Mr. Engelhardt, superintendent of the school, Likes mince pie as a general ruleg He has a wife and children, two, Don't think he has nothing to do. -Q... It's Miss Smith, not Jones or Brown, She's our Spanish and Latin teacher of great renown, She's our dramatic coach, also, As all of you must already know. -O Mr. Van Camp is a faculty member, And his birthday is in December, How he does it, there's no explaining, But he teaches the manual training. LQ, Miss McBurney, who reigns over study hall, Sits at her desk with a lordly look, And if you whisper you're asked to call After school to the study nook. .-Q1 Miss Wolfe has girl's sports, And sewing and biology-what fun! But, from all of the reports, She'll soon be going to Washington. .Q1 Miss Kellogg, we hear, Is going to attend school next year. She taught English and sponsored G. R. And she has-uh, well-a car. ...Q- Miss Hardesty teaches t h e freshman English class, And also has the Oracle staff. The freshman class keeps her busy But the Oracle staff makes her dizzy. ,Q- Mr. Osborn teaches chemistry, Which to many is a mystery, If you hear a big commotion, You know there has occurred a big explosion. 3 Mr. Gish reads the Topeka Capital, we know, Because every days he tells us so. He writes excuses for the absent and late, And holds in his hand the economic students' fate. 1Q1 Mr. Teas, now if you please, He says he likes limburger cheese. He teaches the agriculture boy how To keep, and feed, and milk a cow. ,Q-. Miss Heberling teaches part of the com- mercial course, And rules the students with all her force. She is preparing them for future years Which will do away with financial fears. ,Qi This phrase is often heard in typing class, , To get speed, Step on the gas. Miss Anderson also does office work, And never do you see her shirk. .-Q.- And now in closing this page of rhyme, We hope it hasn't been a waste of time. Now, dear teachers, don't take this to heart, For really, we didn't mean it from the start. The mds RALPH ALBRECHT A quiet lad, not very loud, Yet one whose friends may well be proud. Football 3-4.

The Senior Pep and Peppers of l9 5 THE BOOSTER GIRLS lQl Our Boosters! The class did not have any mem- bers in this organiztaion when we were freshmen but when we became sophomores four of our class were elected to this honorary club. They were Margaret Pipkin, Helen Sykes, Darlene Wamsley and Elva Cheatum. And what fun! Will we ever forget our initiation? fAfter that we were all careful about eat- ing fudge.J One dear girl picked splinters out of her nose all evening after having become acquainted with the floor. Another little girl worked off quite a bit of surplus fat with some setting-up exercises. Whenwe were juniors thescfourwere reelected and the following eleetcdr Betty Kilmer, Nona Ross, Mary Alice Livingston, Katherine Schoeneman and Margaret Rayl. Many interesting things were discovered at the initiation - one of the girls actually knepv how to scramble like an egg and another was really too good at proposing. Maybe she'll have a chance again some- time as leap year isn,t so far away. Anyway she can hope. Mary Alice Livingston was elected secretary- trcasurer this year. And now we come to the last year. All the old members were reelected and two more members of the senior class, Lorain Robinson and Mary Stead, making a total of eleven seniors on the club and giving the seniors the majority. Elva Cheatum was elected president and Mary Alice Livingston reelected secre- tary-treasurer. So this, my dear children, concludes the story of the exciting adventures of our senior girls in the Booster club. Goodnight, THE PEP CLUB .1Q...... This year for the first time in many years, King- man has had: a Boys, Pep club. Early in the fall the group lwvas organized with Edward Kaufman and Kay Elder as sponsors. The club has been a great asset to the school and has done much toward making the year of '34 and '35 a successful one. The boys wore bright red sweaters and at all school games were there to do their part. They've been a loyal and faithful group. Senior members of the club were as follows: Sam Bridgess, Paul Roberts, George Ross, Joe Wil- liams, John Doll, Bill Brown, Charles Barnhart, Mar- vin Cox and Paul Mann. O Cheer Leaders ly...

They didn't lose a game and out- scored their opponents by a large mar- gin. ern Kansas League football champions. Another big factor in the successful season was the victory over the old rival, Pratt. For the past two seasons the Eagles have won over them. Probably the most exciting, thrilling and best-played game was that of An- thony. The largest crowd in history of this section of the country was present at this game. To make it better, the Eagles romped the Pirates all over the field to win, 40 to 14. The closest game was that of Lyons. The Lyons line was the strongest played against during the season. Lettermen Kenneth LaFever, quarter-back, jun- ior, two-year letterman. Height 5 ft. 8 in., weight 145 lbs. Isaac was the lad whose head was used to run the team. He was a remarkable rabbit-footed ball carrier. Many great gains were tread under his flying feet. Cleal LaFever, full-back, junior, one- year letterman. Height 5 ft. 11 in., weight 168 lbs. Cleo played his first year of football this season. He was one of the hardest driving full-backs in the country. On defense he was a stone wall, for scoring he was the highest. George Graves, right-half, junior, one- y e a r letterman. Height 5 ft. 8 in., weight 147 lbs. Gravy,' was the great- est blocker in this part of the state. He would rather block than carry the ball. At ball carrying he was a very efficient Eagles from - - - Season's Record Kingman 18, Pretty Prairie 0. Kngman 13, Augusta 7. Kingman 25, Harper 6. Kingman 26, Stafford 0.

Perry Hundley, left-half, senior, two- year letterman. Height 5 ft. 9 in., weight 150 lbs. Utah', specialized in intercepting passes, passing and kicking from the quick-kick position in punting. He had snake-hips when carrying the ball. This was his last year for the Eagles. Captain Lawrence Hughbanks, sen- ior, two-year letterman. Height 5 ft. 10 in., weight 165 lbs. Cap was the leader of the all-victorious team. Al- ways found in the mix-up and where the line was weak, he was there to strengthen it. He was the fiercest tack- ler on the field. He also carried the ball for a few touchdowns. Bob Yeoman, center, sophomore, one- year letterman. Height 5 ft. 9 in., weight 150 lbs. Bob played his first season at the center position with very remarkable success. He was a very ac- curate passer and a hard tackler. His blocks were always sure. Bob has two more seasons to be seen in action for the Eagles. J. N. Stringer, guard, junior, one-year letterman. Height 5 ft. 8 in., weight 168 lbs. J. N. was a man of dynamite on defense and a sure blocker on of- fense. Large holes were made in the opponents' line and he also caused them the loss of many yards by his tackling. Another season will be played by this lad for the Eagles. Victor Beat, tackle, senior,'one-year letterman. Height 6 ft., weight 165 lbs. 14 Vic was the faster of the two tackles and many of the opposing team plays were stopped before they got under way by his tackling ability. He blocked with the might of a mule and played the game all of the way. This was his last season for the Eagles, but a splen- did one. d' Leo Robison, tackle, senior, one-year letterman. Height 5 ft. 10 in., weight 179 lbs. Leo was the so-called hole- plugger of the Eagle line. Due to his size and strength he would get in the middle of the enemy play and usually come up with the legs of the ball car- rier in his arms. Leo has played foot- ball for four seasons for the Eagles and has aided a lot. Elvis McCutchen, end, junior, one- year letterman. Height 6 ft., weight. 165 lbs. Clutch did damage to end plays for all opponents and seldom did they get around his end. He was a re- markable open field blocker and would go down on punts with the speed of any of 'em. He will be a big factor in the Eagle line next season. Loren Ashcraft, end, junior, one-year letterman. Height 6 ft., weight 156 lbs. Ash was at the other end of the majority of the passes. He had hands that clung to the pigskin like glue. He tackled hard and blocked with the best. He, too, will play next season. - Royal Hughbanks, guard, sophomore, one-year letterman. Height 6 ft., weight 160 lbs. Buckshot did not get to play as much as others, but he loved the game and was always afire with spirit and had plenty of spunk. He played like a demon when in the game. Two seasons are left for him to play. Wayne Ingram, tackle, freshman, one- year letterman. Height 5 ft. 10 in., wt. 180 lbs. Tarzan, new to the game, developed rapidly. He scared oppon- ents by strength and size and tackled with the force of a tornado. With one year of experience behind him, his re- maining three are going to be of great value to the Kingman teams. Start to Finish O 1 he The Schedule ' Q Kingman 10, Wellington 18.---' Kingman 38, Medicine Lodge 20 Men Finishing another of their greatest basket ball seasons, the Eagles have a very remarkable record. Playing twen- ty-one games they romped home with sixteen victories. Three of these games were lost to the Pratt high Greenbacks, one to Anthony and the other to the Ark Valley club of Wellington. The Eagles won their third annual invitation tournament, and Won the title of champions of the Southern Kan- sas League with nine wins and one loss. All but two of the seven lettermen will be back to help the Eagles have an- other good season next year. Lettermen K. LaFever, junior, two-year letter- man, forward. i'Isaac was always in the game. Hitting baskets was his hob- by. He was selected on several differ- ent all-tournament teams. This season Around the inder Track The Eagle track squad, one of the largest in years started with a good sea- son, only to have it ruined by illness. Yet there were some good athletes, who recovered and went on. Several let- termen and members of the previous year's track squad were back but some had to drop track this season. An inter-class meet was held to start the competition for events with the jun- iors winning. Next season should sec a balanced squad on hand. Kingman 26, Larned 18. Kingman 36, Alumni 34.

The quadrangular meet was made up of Pratt, Pretty Prairie, Spivey and Kingman. Pratt won the meet with the Eagles second. The Anthony relays were next in line. Mack fStreaky7 Settle was the only Kingman entry to place tying for second in the high jump. Other boys quali- fied for finals in the morning prelimin- aries, but did not place in finals.

He was all-Southern Kansas League guard this season. Mack Settle, junior, one-year letter- man, guard. Streaky was a very fast guard. He made it his job to knock the ball out of line with the basket when opponents tried to shoot. He made the second team in S. K. L. Paul Roberts, senior, one-year letter- man, center. Gump was an all- around man. He fit in any position and filled it well. He has given much to the Eagle record. Don Richardson, junior, one-year let- terman, forward. Don was the lad who had a fancy of putting finishing touches to games. He was always ready to fit in and his one-handed shots made many thrills. This was another qualifying meet for state regional. The big meet of the season was that of the Southern Kansas League at Harper. The Eagles placed third with Anthony winner and Kiowa second. Streaky Settle and Iron Man Kostner both won firsts in their events, the shot and high jump. Speedy Webber won second in the 440-yard dash, and Settle second in the high hurdles.
