H. S. for the past four years. The friendships ot' Guiding Lights and Shipmates will not soon be forgotten. We shall always cherish the memories of this mill stream where we have rowed so hard in order to achieve our goal. Now that We have successfully reached this goal and are being tossed ashore, what will our next port he? The Guilding Lights have told us that we are now capable of xx eathering the storms of life and that from now on we must choose our own course. Some of us will choose a route in distant waters, while some will contrinue to sail near where we are now docked. Whatever we choose for our next port, we're going to en- counter whirlpools and reefs that will have a tendency to pull us down, hut We must profit from the experience on the Mill Stream and keep sailing on toward success in life. With wishes of good luck and good sail- ing, we seniors hand over the key of the old Mill Stream to our lower shipmates, and may they have a successful tour. Bon Voyage. Page One Here's your 1937 Oracle. VVe hope you'll like it! We have tried to mention the highlights ol' the year and the the senior class. NVe have attempted to build the theme ol' the magazine around The Old Mill Streainf' The cover ot' this book was drawn by Victoria panel on the big events ot' Howd , Folk 4 0 9 Ann Hooton, a sophomore, and member ot' the art department. No doubt there have been interesting happenings omitted from this issue, but it' we have erred, please for- give us.

Into these years have been crowded all the thrills, joys and mishaps of a high school career. We were quite cordially greeted and welcomed into K. H. S. by the upperclassmen and faculty mem- bers, who continued to be Hguiding lights until the journey was safely completed. Several of our mem- bers thought the sailing too rough, so they dropped out. On the front page of the first Oracle of the year '33 and l34, the freshmen were pictured as wearing extremely short skirts and short knee trousers. Per- haps we were the babies of the school then, but now we are ready to go out of school life into life's school. 1 I During the past four years the members of '37 have entered into nearly all the activities opened to them, and have made good. During the first quarter of the journey there were thirteen freshmen in both girls' and boys' glee clubs. The Hfrolicsome fresh- men chose all boys for their class officers: president, Bob Yeomang vice president, Carl Jones, secretary- treasurer, Bob Cloud. Venora Layman and'Helen Jean Gillen were elected student council members during freshman days. A There were eleven of us in the band fnearly one-thirdl and five in the orchestra when we were freshies. Besides those musically inclined, there were twenty-four out of seventy-eight in the, dramatics class. Six of the freshmen boys were brave enough to go out for football. During the first year, the annual freshman tests were given. Those ranking highest were Harold Kistler, Bob Cloud, Alma Jane Wallace and Mildred Claxton. The remainder of that year was spent in everyday tasks with some contests and festivals in- terspersed. In the sophomore year, Venora Layman was elected president, Jean Braly, vice president, Mary Alice Hornbaker, secretary-treasurer, and Helen Jean Gillen, class reporter. That year a boys, pep club was started, and from the sophomore ranks were chosen Bob Cloud and Bay- ard Robinson. The operetta, The Flower of Venezia, had six sophomores participating in it. They were Bob Yeo- man, Bob Cloud, Betty Jo Krehbiel, Bayard Robinson, Jerry Riggs and Charlene Weikal. Helen Jean Gillen was the only sophomore who went into debate that year. f The sophomore boys who were in boys' archery, were Dick McAdam, Bob Jenks, Ronald Kincheloe, Bayard Robinson, Farrel Nelson and Harold Kistler, The class during its junior year elected for presi- dent, Venora Layman, for vice president, Farrel Nel- son, for secretary-treasurer, Jean Bralyg for student council members, Mary Alice Hornbaker, Virginia Brand, Helen Jean Gillen and Bob Cloud. The juniors in the pep band last year were Harold Kistler, Bob Jenks, Charlene Weikal, Farrel Nelson, Mary Jane Murray, Venora Layman and Roy Webber. The big event of the junior year was the junior class play with Bernadine Govert, Farrel Nelson, Bob Yeoman, Charlene Weikal, Beatrice Reinoldt, Mary Alice Hornbaker, Levi Matlack, Marcella Beat, Aubrey Campbell and Bob Cloud in the cast. The juniors on the debate squad were Helen Jean Gillen, Jean Braly, Beatrice Reinoldt and Farrel Nelson. The seniors elected Royal Hughanks, the football captain, to be class president, Viola Base for vice presi- dentg Verna Wymore for secretary-treasurer, and Bob Cloud, Bob Yeoman, Venora Layman, Carl Jones and Farrel Nelson, the student council members. Bob Cloud was elected president of the council. During our senior year, President Roosevelt was in Wichita and many seniors, as well as underclassmen, were there to hear and see him. At the music festival this spring at Wichita, the seniors who attended were Jerry Riggs, Betty Jo Kreh- biel, Ruth Wagner, Ralph Starkey, Warren Brown, Venora Layman, Harold Kistler, Roy Weber, and Beatrice Reinoldt. And so after four years of rowing and paddling we have been tossed ashore, and some other group will come along before long to take our places. Our trip down the mill stream hasn't been an easy one, but it's been a happy trip and one we shall never forget. So ends our record of four years on the mill stream, Page Seven Around the Bend-- 400 and down the stream with the grads of 193 -ooo - it s The Powers That Be There have been nine members of the senior class who have served on the student council. Helen Jean' Gillen and Venora Layman were the freshman repre- sentatives. Helen Jean was also a council member when she was a sophomore and junior. Bob Cloud was a member when he was a jun- ior and senior. This last year he was elected president of the or- ganization. Bob Yeoman was in the group when he was a sopho- more and senior. Venora Layman was also on the council during her senior year. Other members were Mary Alice Hornbaker, Virginia Brand, Carl Jones, and Farrel Nelson. ,..--l.3.,, G. R. and Hi-Y I There are seven senior girls who have served on the G. R. cabinet this year. They are Mary Alice Hornbaker, chairman of publicity committee, Mary Jane Murray, piano, Venora Layman, chairman of devotional committee and sec- retary, Rozella Biggs, chairman of finance committee, Marcella Beat, Page Eight chairman of social committeeg i-s- : Pepstcrs Jean Braly, president and vice- president last yearg LaVeta Settle, chairman of service committee. Jean Braly, Helen Jean Gillen, Mary Jane Murray, and LaVeta Settle were on the G. R. cabinet in their junior year. The high light of this year's Hi- Y social activity was the Pa, Ma and Me banquet which did Very much to stimulate Hi-Y interest in the community. A very efficient system of cabi- net meetings was used this year. Cabinet meeting and a dinner par- ty were held once a month at each cabinet member's home. Five boys of this year's graduat- ing class have served on the Hi-Y cabinet during their four years in high school. They are Bob Yeo- man, Farrel Nelson, Darwin Mark- well, Levi Matlack, and Roy Web- ber. The sponsors for this year were Mr. Charles Ruff and Mr. John Kelly. Twenty-five senior boys were members of the club. .L Librarians Six of the graduates have been assistants in the library while they were in K. H. S. Each year stu- dents are chosen by Miss Wilma McBurney to help with the work at the library desk. Members of the class of '37 who have been librarians are Ralph Starkey, Roy Webber, Virginia Brand, Farrel Nelson, Darwin Markwell and Alma Jane Wallace. The class of '37 had no fresh- men members in the Booster clubg but when they were sophomores they had two. They were Venora Layman and Jean Braly. When they were juniors, the two mem- bers were re-elected and the fol- lowing were elected as new mem- bers: Marcella Beat, Jerry Riggs, Helen Jean Gillen, Mary Allce Hornbaker and Virginia Brand. That year a Boys' Pep club was organized and the following boys were in it from this class: Dick McAdam, Darwin Markwell, Roy- al Hughbanks and Bayard Robin- son. Bayard was also elected as- sistant cheer leader that year. When the class of ,37 were sen- iors, the Booster club, Pep club and Pep band were combined to form the K. H. S. Pep club.

Clubs Since the half hour activity pe- riod was added to the schedule this year, many teachers organ- ized clubs. The Travel club was organized by Mr. L. N. Gish. Helen Jean Gillen, the only senior member, was president of the club. The members enjoyed many interest- ing programs when outside speak- ers related incidents and displayed pictures of different trips.

The club read plays and presented a number of one-act dramas. The Spelling club, whose presi- dent was Ned Frisbie, senior, was organized by Miss Ruby Mider.

Two decades have slowly elapsed since the class of '37 ambled solemnly down the aisles to receive with tear-dimmed eyes a parchment insert and leather cover adorned with red and black letters Kingman High School. This document, called a diploma, kept these people washed near the tide of success. As the Mill Wheel turns, we see the class of '37 in their chosen oc- cupations. First, Royal Hughbanks, senior president of our class, is a life guard at Niagara Falls. He is noted for the cause of many un- happy honeymoons. Lo and be- hold, if there arenit Jean and Venora. Jean is Mrs. W. Brown now with five little Brownlets, and they all have red hair and freckles. Venora has been work- ing at a peanut stand. The owner is Ed Farnsworth. She is to be- come Mrs. R. Brown as soon as he gets out of school. Jean told us Warren, the dear, was getting S10 a week working in a glass-b1ow- ing factory. He always was quite windy, you remember. If there isn't Jerry Riggs. She has become quite famous as a fan dancer. Tsk-tsk, who would ever have thought it. Oh, here we are at an airplane factory. In the shop we see Carl Jones. He told us not to tell anyone, but all he does is screw the nuts on the airplanes. Well, Carl, outside there are 3 air- planes spelling the name, King- man High School in the sky. We learned that the pilots are Doris Hall, Vivian Lynch and Ruth They are all quite fam- expert stunt fliers. A transport plane has just Those air hostesses look Why itis Dorothy Wen- Bernadine Govert. They Wagner. ous as K. H. S. come in. familiar. iger and are helping Farrel Nelson off the plane, he became airplane sick, poor fellow. He owns a brick mine in China now. They say he has had a very unhappy life be- cause of his many unsuccessful marriages. We must not forget Levi Matlack, who is the pilot of this airplane. The wheel keeps turning, and we see a very modern up-to-date restaurant. It looks so appetizing that we go inside and there we see two very charming waitresses, and who could they be but Wilma Bane and Martha Duerksen. We note sev- eral very prominent people eating here, such as Mary Louise Fowler, Page Fourteen Q00 a second Sherlock Holmes. We were warned not to take anything, not even a souvenir, while she is around. Upon inquiring who owned the cafeteria, we learned that Bob Yeoman was now the world's most wanted chef. He had chosen to do the cooking in his own restaurant. We must say he had all of the class way back in 1937 fooled. The principal of K. H. S. is sit- ting over in the corner, too. We surely have you fooled again be- cause it's Francis Zoeller. Mr. Gish retired last year in order to raise chickens on a farm south of Kingman. Over there's a group of K. H. S. radio stars. They got their start from the first radio broadcast ever held in Kingman, Crazy Mike . The people, who have succeeded in radio are Viola Base who gives recipes each morning from nine to nine-thirty and Margaret Hobson, a blues singer over Darwin Mark- well's hit parade sponsored by B. O. Soap and Co. We find that the class of '37 is quite well represented in Holly- wood, too. Thereis Bob Cloud, a second Clark Gableg the one thing that keeps him from being swamped by the girls of film land is that he is married to that old stand-by, remember her? How could you forget? He has two sets of twins in his family, too. Verna Wymore has taken the place of ZaSu Pitts, and she's even more popular than ZaSu was. Nola Pot- ter provides the voice of Betty Boop in motion pictures now and is making quite a success of it. Doris VanLandingham has run Si- mone Simon out of Hollywood, and everyone thinks she came straight from Paris, but she could not fool us. Ralph Starkey and Wilbur Sloan are joint owners of the largest newspaper in the world, The Knowall, See All and Hear All . Charlene Weikal has a scandal column in the paper. They say she gets all the births, deaths, weddings and divorces a month before they happen. She's quite good. Robert Hart is the foreign correspondent for the pa- per, he spends most of his time in deepest Africa trying to get out. Ned Frisbie is a small doctor in a large hospital in Los Angeles. He is quite concerned about his wealthy, women patients. Several of the nurses we recognize, too. Marcella Beat is head of the chil- dren's floorg you should hear them cry. Velma Catlin is head dieti- tian. You should eat some of the dishes she prepares, too. Dick McAdam has a flea circus in.Ken- tucky and such very intelligent fleas! Bernice Conrardy makes cute little suits for these fleas. Helen Jean Gillen was the par- son in the wedding of Beatrice Reinoldt and Harold Kistler-we hope they get along better than Maggie and Jiggs. Betty Jo Krehbiel, a Salvation Army lassie, can always be found in the center of a crowd singing hymns. Rozella Biggs writes cowboy stories. All her readers think she was reared in the West, but we know she's never even seen it. Aubrey Campbell and Bayard Robinson have joined the circus. They put on a side show: Bayard is a snake charmer, and Aubrey a sword swallower. It is really quite thrilling to watch them do their tricks. You know that saying, Birds of a feather flock together. Marv Alice Hornbaker is working at the institution at Larnedg she remarked it was an entertaining occupation. Mike Ortiz is also a teacher. He teaches athletics in southern Mexico. Organ Grinder Roy Webber and his monkey entertain all the little children in Mary Jane Murray's nursery. Mary Jane says anytime you want her to keep your chil- dren just call 3333-she has all kinds. Virginia Brand, opera star, warbles constantly, but don't blame us-we did our best. Ronald Kincheloe demonstrates his ability by being a rocking horse demonstrator. Eva Birzer and Hulda Schroeder are joint managers of a matrimonial agency. Dan Cupid informs us that he couldn't get along without them. Alma Jane Wallace and Roberta Moore have whats at the beginning of a bread line. Alma Jane makes the bread and Roberta butters it. Robert Jenks is that Ole Man in the Mountaini He wouldn't think of ever leaving home. Harold Compton has the chosen occupation of an undertaker. He is just about takenunder by the depressing occupation. An inter- national spy, Myrtle Hinderliter, knew about everything but mum was the word for her. Mildred Claxton works in a flag-making factory. She states she makes dozens of flags each day. We al- ways thought Mildred was patri- otic. Oscar Fettig is a designer of modernistic bathtubs. Everybody likes to take baths in his bathtubs. They are really very charming. There's LaVeta Settle-she's still an old maid. A rich uncle died and left her just thousands of dollars and they say all she buys is cats, canaries, and parrots. fShe looks under her bed every night in hopes of finding a man--but such is life!l Silt a-nd Sediment 000 We, the senior class of Kingman high school of '37, being of sup- posedly sound mind and body and knowing the uncertainties of this life do make our last will and testament with the following pro- visions: We, the senior class as a whole, bequeath to our more unfortunate successors, the faculty, the build- ing, and the chapel fthe latter has been the scene of more love affairs than all the Lovers' Lanes in Kingmanj.

This play was a three-act mystery comedy with many thrills, and had a cast of eleven, including six boys and five girls. The setting of the story was in the .living room of the Whitman family, during the course of an evening. The play was a great success, and the class made a profit of 5B95.00. 'The cast included Bernadine Govert, Farrel Nelson, Bob Yeo- man, Charlene Weikal, Beatrice Reinoldt, Mary Alice Hornbaker, Eefii Matlack and Aubrey Camp- e . The seniors presented their an- nual play The Whole Town's Talking April 30, 1937. The cast included: This play was a farce in three acts and involved a manufacturer, Mr. Simmons, his wife and their daughter, Ethel. Mr. Simmons wanted to retire and leave his business to Chester Binney, Sim- mons' partner, and wanted Ches- ter to marry his daughter. Later in the play a motion picture star and her director became entangled in the plot. Henry Simmons .......... Levi Matlack Roger Shields .,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Carl Jones Harriet Simmons ........

The first two events of the year concerned the band. On October 23, the band played at the Harper county fair and on Gctober 27, at the band festival at Anthony. A joint music program was given in the gymnasium November 10. Eight seniors attended the all-state chorus and orchestra at Emporia on Decem- ber 4-5. They were Mary Alice Hornbaker, Jerry Riggs, Carl Jones, Roy Webber, Bob Yeoman, Harold Kistler, Mary Jane Murray, and Bob Cloud. The band attended a festival December 19. Then on February 25-6-7, the All-Southern Kansas orchestra and chorus was held at Wichita. Those seniors who attended were Harold Kistler, Mary Jane Murray, Roy Webber, Venora Layman, Beatrice Reinoldt, Warren Brown, Betty Jo Krehbiel, Ralph Starkey, Ruth Wagner and Jerry Riggs. The girls' glee club gave a program at the Christian church on March 7. Then the boys' glee club sang at Basil on March 10. The Southern Kansas League festival was held here this year on April 2. The Pratt Fine Arts festival took place on April 9-10. 099 Page Eighteen Fine Arts Festival .iQT., In addition to the seniors in the large music groups, several of the grads have represented K. H. S. in solo events and in smaller group numbers. The big music event of any school year is the Pratt Fine Arts festival.

HOMER BAKER: End. Although Baker was the smallest on the team, he showed some mighty good fighting on the field. WAYNE RICHARDSON: Quarterback. This lad, better known as Shorty, was a hard-hitting ball carrier and as good a general on the field as K. H. S. has ever had. ROYAL HUGHBANKS: Tackle. Four years has this mighty lad been out for football, he too has been a big help in keeping Kingman's name alive. He was captain of the squad of 1936 and an all-league tackle and co-captain of the league te-am. AUBREY CAMPBELL. Tackle. Here is a boy who had the fighting spirit all the time. LEO SHEPHERD: Fullback. Although this lad had tough luck with his ankle this year, he will be back next year to make up for lost time. Page Twenty DANIEL SINNETT: Center. He is a boy who, when he got hold of an opponent, never let go. MIKE O'RTIZ: Fullback. Herets one of King- man's hardest hitting ball carriers. He, too, made all- league half back. BEN GRACEY: Halfback. Herets a boy who will make anyone fight for his position next year. BOB YEOMAN: Halfback. Bob was speedy and shiftyg he also had tough luck with injuries, but was one of the best blockers in the league. He also was an all league halfback. DICK McADAM: Quarterback. One of the smallest boys out for football, but whenever he had the chance to play, he really showed what he had. RICHARD BARNETT: Halfback. He was one of the best yard gainers on the team. GENE YEOMAN: Tackle. Talk about the big boys, Gene is the biggest one on the squad and a stone wall on defense. BOB CLOUD: End. He played almost all the positions on the team and was one of the fastest men on the squad. BOB McMILLIN: End. Bob could really catch those passes, and he handles himself nicely on the field. NED FRISBIE: Guard. Here's a boy who could block well and was also a good defensive man. WILBUR SLOAN: Guard. This boy was out only two years, but he has developed into a good football player, and was a good defensive player. ED FARNSWORTH: Guard. This fellow showed plenty of competition to the other boys. r+t-'Dacor-Hmwmbew CD CJDPCI y.4 QD CD -QI Front row-H. Baker, M. Krehbiel, B. Yeoman, W. Richardson, Coach Blowey. Back row-B. Cloud, G. Yeoman, B. McMillin, E Palmer, C. Jones. Again the Eagle threw out its chest because of su- periority in basketball. For the second consecutive year, the team, with Clarence Blowey coaching and the followers boosting, the Eagles won 19 games, and fell in the lose column with 4 losses. The first nine brought home the SKL throne and the runner-up berth at the regional tourney at Dodge City. There Dodge City beat the Eagles in the finals. The second string gave the Eagle promise for fu- ture expansion by winning all of their SKL battles and a few outside the loop. Only three of the primary nine are seniors, namely: Bob Cloud, Bob Yeoman and Carl Jones, who leave some big nests to be filled, and their places cannot easily be taken. The members of this years' nine who helped to hold Kingman's basket- ball standards are the following: HOMER BAKER, who showed as much fight as any other member of the team and who has one more year before he can look back on all of his high school basketball career. BOB CLOUD: This white-haired player brought out the real lesson to be learned in basketball-fun and sportsmanship. Very few times was he caught with an endangering glint in his eyes. If he grows a few inches taller and keeps the same jumping power, his rival will have a lot of difficulty in matching him. ED PALMER: The growing boy of the outfit played some very good games this year, and he will make many of his guards look like beginners next year. GENE YEOMAN: Gene has been a great help to this year's team. He is the youngest of the Yeoman duo and has had several honors given him this year, and in two more years he should have many more. MARVIN KREHBIEL: Played superior position at guard. In many battles his adversary couldn't find an open space near him in which to throw the ball. A fellow like this in the Eagle nest for two more Years will make the Eagle defense a stone wall. WAYNE RICHARDSON: Reminds one of a cloud coming from one end of the court and suddenly light- ning comes from that cloud. Such is the action of Shorty whose lightning-fast pivots go for a basket when he is at his best. BOB McMILLIN: Was an all-league center and rated as the best at Dodge City in the regional. Enough said-one more year. BOB YEOMAN: It is not easy to be his kind, a good sport, a good player and a fine chap. Bob will be missed next Year. CARL JONES. Deserves superior on the court. His hookpasses and one-handed counters will be re- gretfully missed by the many fans next year.
