Rebcr James L. Sellers SUPT. R. A. KENT Superintendent Kent has spent two progressive years as head of the Law- rence schools, and recently was reelected for two more years of service with us. in which time many of his plans will he carried out, and the Lawrence schools will have reached a high standard of efficiency. Already many changes have been made. The new Junior H. S. is one of his applied ideas. It has proved a great success. Mr. Kent is interested in all live activities of high school life. Hoys’ Club, Debating, Athletics, and especially war work are things which mean something to him. As Seniors, we now go out from under his leadership, but we will always remember him as an ideal of progressive service to all of us who have dealt with him. “Pap!” Doesn’t that nickname tell more than could be set forth in volumes of mere words? “Pap” who straightened out our troubles, who light- ened a sometimes weighty existence with a joke and a smile! When we take a look back with thankful reflections to the effect “I have survived,” how much is due to Professor Olney who for twenty-five years has pushed, boosted and pulled for L. H. S.! Always when we think of Lawrence High School, we will remem- ber him with gratitude and affection. Here’s to “Pap”! The Faculty F. H. Olney, A. B., K.

Holloway President Board of Education Star Spangled Banner Everybody The 1918 Red and Black Ever since 1913, the Budget Staff has published an Annual for the Seniors. Last year a Commencement Budget was issued. This year the Budget Staff could not handle the Annual on account of the work involved in getting out their bi- weekly. The Seniors, feeling, that they should have something by which to re- member their class, decided to have an Annual, and elected an Annual Manager who was to appoint a staff. This was not done until February 20, which left a very short time for the work to be accomplished. The Annual this year is not as elaborate as it might have been if we had had more time for working it up. The existing war conditions have also cut down on many things that would otherwise have been put in. Many difficulties confronted us. The first thing was to collect $2.50 from each Senior. This was a job, as anyone knows, who has done collecting. It was a hard task to select a staff, who could give their time to the Annual. However, we have found that the choice made, was entirely satisfactory. Much credit is due the staff and the committees under it. Beside the staff, there are others whose services were of inestimable value. We wish to thank the Budget for its fine co-operation in the way of material and advice. The Art De- partment of the school also deserves a great deal of credit for their panel work. We hope that everyone will overlook the mistakes made in this Annual and that the following classes will profit by them, particuarly by starting the work early in the school year. HERBERT OLSON, Mgr. VERNE CHURCH, Asst. Mgr. enters Pete Bunny Bob Dot Jess Helen Ruth 'P' k PLUCKAN-7 p-.y Preston White:—(Track ’15, ’17; Student Council ’16, ’17; Athletic Editor Budget 17, ’18; Football ’18; President Class ’18; Athletic Editor Annual.) “!-----------? $ s S” Many and varied have his successes been during his High School years. “Pete” takes up athletics as he feels the need and then for the sake of variety he adds the Student Council or Senior presidency to the list. The quotation above this paragraph describes him fully. Dorothy Stanley:—(Prom Manager and Pianist, M. H. S. Orchestra, 17; Y. W. C. A. ’18; Honor Student.) ller hair is not sunnier than her heart Dorothy came to us from Marccline, Missouri, this year. Slfe immediately won many friends among the boys as well as the girls. We expect her to be one of the popular girls on the Hill next year. Josephine Ramsey:—Basketball ’15, ’16, ’17, ’18. The same sweet child of fancy. The same dear winsome lass. “Jo’s” speciality is playing basketball. In fact you might say she is a vet- eran in the cause since she helped win the championship for us all during her High School days. One of the basketball girls is quoted as saying, “When Jo plays basketball we all stand around and wonder.” Jessie Martin dale :—(Girls’ Glee Club ’15, ’16, ’17; O’ita Secretary r 15, Vice President ’16, and President ’17, ’18; Student Council ’15, Secretary ’16, Vice President ’16; Manager Junior Military Party ’17; Debating Team ’17, ’18; Y. W. C. A. President ’18, Cabinet ’17; Scholarship Cup ’17; Vice President of Class ’18; Commencement Program ’18; Honor Student; Manager Senior Girls’ Circus ’18.) Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends. Jessie is one of the “best fellows” in L. H. S. She’s great on oratory and uses it to good advantage in making her gains. She’s always been one of our most brilliant and popular students and when she enters K. U. next year we are sure that she’ll make good, especially as “Sergeant” in the military training division. Marion Oatman:— (Y. W. C. A. ’18; Basket Ball ’18; Glee Club ’18.) It's guld to he merry and wise. It's guid to la honest and true. Marion, in her own way, has been one of the strong members of the class. Anyone asking her to do anything, was sure of results, and good ones. Helen Ruth Gumbiner:—(Glee Club ’14; Social Committee ’16, ’17, ’18; Class Secretary ’17; Student Council ’18; Senior English Class Play ’18.) She is pretty to walk with. And witty to talk with, .. And pleasant, too, to think on. Dimples are the handmaidens of “cases.” At least Helen Ruth’s are, for she has managed to procure one case each year since she has been with us. She has shown fine dramatic ability in the Senior English Class Play as well as other school farces. We are glad that she will be with us in K. U. next year. Roberta Gorsuch:—(Orchestra ’15, ’16; Local Editor Budget ’17; “Yarns” Editor ’18; Chairman O’ita Program Committee ’18; O’ita Budget Re- porter '18; Y. V. C. A. ’18; Associate Editor Annual ’18; Aesthetic Dancing ’18.) Here’s to the gill that is good- and sweet, Here's to the girl that is true. Roberta is a friend to everyone and wouldn't be angry at a person for worlds. “It isn’t worth the trouble it takes,” she says. The person who writes the “Yarns” column for the Budget next year will need sympathy. It is going to be mighty hard work writing “Yarns” as good as Roberta’s. Paul Luckan:—(L. H. S. Orchestra ’15, ’16, Manager ’17; Boys’ Club Orchestra ’16, ’17; Student Council ’17; President Student Council ’18; Boys’ Club Secretary ’18; Boys’ Club Minstrel ’18.) While Micro Is life, there is hope. “Pluky” is a happy sort of chap and wholly without that dignity in which most of the Student Council members clothe themselves. He divides his time be- tween school, a violin and a litter of Fords. Glad j Scoop I )ody Dot Gret Mary Bay A J V (lMl4A r NL )puj V V EZIE Herbert Olson:—(Football 18; Basketball ’17, ’ 18: Class Treasurer 18; Manager Red and Black ’18; Boys’ Club ’15, ’16, ’17, ’18, Cabinet 17. ’18, Treasurer ’18; Circus ’16.) He is a man of much experience. “Scoop” is one of our “into everything” students. He is our star basket- hall and football player, besides taking care of our class wealth and starting a ease. He intends to go on the Hill next year. Gladys Dunakin:—(Chairman Decorating Committee ’14; Glee Club ’15; O’ita ’15, ’16, ’17, ’18; Y. W. C. A. ’17, ’18; Aesthetic Dancing ’17, ’18; Chairman Senior Girls’ Circus ’18.) Grace is in all her steps. “Glad” is one of the finest girls in the class. She is “some cook” as well as being a “fawncy dawnccr”. She is loved by everyone and the best wishes of the Class of '18 go with her. Dora Helmick:—(Glee Club ’15; Senior F.nglish Play ’18; Senior Girls’ Circus ’18; Class Day Program ’18.) Fair 011c. how does your music go? To be a great singer is the aspiration of this pretty maid. True it is, that she has extraordinary talent for music and by continuing her musical education at K. U. we feel sure she will soon become Melba II. Here's to you! Mary Underwood:—(Chairman Minstrel Committee Senior Circus ’18.) Or all tlie Kiris that e’er we’ve seen There's none fo fine as Mary. Mary is reticent. Yes, indeed! She didn't want us to put anything in the Annual about her but we did because there’s so much to say. She has made High School in three and a half years, has “heaps” of friends, is not Pete’s twin and is going on the Hill next year. There, Mary, don’t be angry. Dorothy Christine:—(Tennis Captain ’16; Basketball ’is, ’16, ’17. ’18; Junior Military Farce ’17; Girls’ Glee Club ’17, ’18: Aesthetic Dancing ’17, ’18; Senior Athletic Committee ’18.) “She lolls you dully what her mind is. “Dot” has always been a basketball star. Ever since her advent into High School, she has played forward on the team, and for three years sho has helped to carry off the cup. Doris Patterson:—(Y W. C. A. ’15, ’16, ’17.) “Handsome and witty; yet a friend. When “Bay” went up on the Hill with “Mart” we all missed her sadly for she had won her way into our hearts. However, she did not forget to return to old Class of '18 for graduation. Gretta Rowland:—(Basketball ’16, ’17. Captain ’18; Y. VV. C. A. ’18.) A, merry heart goes all the way. Gretta is one of those lovable girls who always have a bushel of friends. She’s mostly to blame for the 18 basketball girls winning the cup all three years. We do not know her ambitions but success to her whatever they are. Verne Church:—(Football 18: Assistant Manager Annual ’18; Boys’ Club ’i 8.) He loves ludios, hut they don’t know it. “Church” came from Tulsa, Oklahoma. When at work he is to be found at Logan-Moore Lumber Company balancing the daily reports but without the use of a Fairbanks' scale. “Church” has been rather neglectful of the ladies but his intention is to take a course in Chivalry at K. U. next year. Doc Vivian Patsy Mig Lucile Mart Ed Rachel Harry Sheets:— “Blessed is the man. who having nothing to say. abstains from giving wordy evidence.” Harry is rather quiet. Just where his interests lie we don’t know but he would have been missed if L. H. S. had been deprived of his presence. Margaret Graeber:—(Y. V. C. A. ’15, ’16, ’17, ’18.) “A dainty pair of glasses on her dainty little nose. Adds to her look of culture and her statue-like repose. As a rule Margaret is a Miss of few words but when she does speak she’s well worth listening to. Her drawling speech and funny little giggle make her a favorite among all her friends. She will go to K. U. next year. Vivian Kagi:— ‘ 'Tis Virturo that doth make her moat admired.” Vivian has lived in Lawrence all her life. She is a very quiet and modest maid but always has a smile for her friends. Lucile Gentry:—(Aesthetic Dancing ’18; Normal Training Class.) “Those graceful acts, those thousand decencies that dally flow. ' Lucile has decided that even though she has taken the Normal course she is too “little” for a teacher so she is going to K. U. until she grows up. Surely she came straight from Holland, at least it seemed so at the Glee Club concert. Grace Kiefer:—(Y. W. C. A. ’16, ’17, ’18; Normal Training Class.) “Heaven gives us friends to bless the present scene. Grace is going back to “No. 6” to help prepare more fine girls for L. H. S. Her aim above all others seems “to be a friend” and make others happy. Martha Mackie:— (Y. W. C. A. ’15, ’ 16, ’17; Chairman of Y. VV. C. A. Social Committee ’17.) “She Is gentle, she is shy; But tlieie's mischief in her eye.” “Mart” is on the Hill this year but nevertheless she couldn’t resist the temptation to come back to old L. H. S. to graduate. She is known to her friends as a very dear girl who always has a good word for everybody. Good luck to her! Rachel Shale:—(Junior Response ’17; Y. VV. C. A. ’18; O’ita ’18; Aesthetic Dancing ‘18; First Prize Reading Contest ’18; Exchange Editor Budget ’18; Joke Editor Annual ’18.) “A little, tiny, pretty, witty, charming darling she.” What would R. G. have done, if Rachel hadn’t come to town? L. H. S. is indeed proud to have lured such a talented one from Parker High, Chicago. We will undoubtedly hear of Rachel as a Reader or Journalist. Edmund Learned:—(Vice President Class 15; Manager Boys’ Club- Student Council Circus ’16; Student Council ’16; Boys’ Club Cabinet ’16, ’17, ’18: Boys’ Club President ’17: Executive Committee Junior Prom 17; Executive Committee Auditorium Carnival ’17; First Prize Reading Contest ’17; Scholar- ship Cup ’17; Debating Club ’18; Manager Budget ’17, ’18; Senior English Class Play ’18; Commencement Program ’18; Honorable Mention.) •‘Another of his fashion we have not, To lead our business. What would wc have done without him? Whenever there was something important to do “Ed” was right there. Fat Esther Grace - Khazte Walt Earl FIndacott:—(Football ’i6; Boys’ Club Student Council Circus ’i6; Cabinet ’17, ’18; Debating Team ’18; Manager Minstrel Show T 8; Orchestra '17, ’18; Student Council ’18; Manager Senior English Class Play.) “But wad yo sec him In Ills glee. For mickle glee and fun has he.” Earl was once upon a time downright fat. He is merely plump now for he went out to Camp Funston last summer and worked harder than he had ever done before. “Fat” has never been able to say of himself that “Nobody loves a fat man.” Mary Hanna:— “Her motto Is so plain to see, A friend that's a friend I’ll ever be.” Mary will go up the Hill with the rest of us next year, but unlike most of us, she will indulge in the intellectual study of Chemistry. She should also con- tinue the course in Free Hand Drawing which she took in L. H. S. Esther Knop:—(Basketball ’18; Glee Club ’ 18; Normal Training.) ‘A countenance In which did meet. Sweet records, promises as sweet. Esther stands “high” in everything. She is a shark at basketball, being another member of our victorious team. She intends to teach school next year. Lillie Bond:—(Normal Training Class; Home Economics Club ’15.) There are some silent people who are more interesting than the best talkers. Lillie is another “model” teacher from L. II. S. Her hair is auburn, but where is the temper, when she says, “Oh, where have you been, Billy Boy, Billie Boy?” she’ll make a splendid teacher. Grace Gaskill:—(O’ita ’15, ’ 16, ’17, President ’16; Y. W. C. A. ’15, ’16, 17.) Tin; reason fine, the temperati will Endurance, foresight, strength and skill.” Grace has not been with us at all this year, having made High School in three years. However, while she was with us she was one of our active students and did everything well that she attempted. We are glad that we will be with her again at K. U. next year. Xania Tuttle:—(Y. W. C. A. ’17, ’18; Social Committee Y. W. ’18; Home Economics Club ’17; Aesthetic Dancing ’18; Chairman Stunts Committee Senior Circus ’18.) “I have always said it—Naturo meant women to be her masterpiece.” Unshakeable good nature is one of Xania’s gifts which make her popular. She is always ready for a good time, but she is capable of many other things. Xania will probably enter K. U. next fall. Sophia Utermann:—(O’ita ’15, ’16, ’17, ’18; Vice President O’ita ’ 18 ; Aesthetic Dancing ’17, ’18; Knitting Club ’18; Senior Girls’ Circus ’18.) ‘‘An Angel on Wheels.” “Schatze” is the mischief of the class. Her many little pranks have done much to enliven the monotony of learning. Likewise she has been a shining light in German. We are thinking of sending her over to talk to the Kaiser. Walter Morrison:—(Student Council ’15.) “Yon 'Morrison' has u lean and hungry look.” “Walt” deserted us one year to go to Oread but he came back to old Law- rence High to finish his High School career. He is chiefly noted for the lofty alti- tude he has attained and the curliness that is the crowning glory of that altitude. He has always been too busy with both school and outside work to pay much atten- tion to the girls. However, among the boys there is none better liked in all the High School. Marsh Aggie J ELLY Ethel Mildred Florence Hellie Sammy Marshall Hay'enhill:—(Rifle Club ’15; Boys’ Club ’is. 16, ’17, ’18; L.H . S. Orchestra 15, ’16, ’17, '18; Class Treasurer ’17; Debating Club ’18; Senior English Class Play ’18.) But he—what look of mastery was this he cast upon her?” Most of “Marsh's time has been spent in working up at least one case every year. In the intervals between cases he would try out all the other girls. Now, at first glance a person would hardly take “Marsh for a lady's man for he looks as most engineering students do, which profession he intends to follow. However, as Socrates remarked, “Appearances are often misleading. Mildred Coker:—(Y. V. C. A. ’15; Glee Club ’17, ’18; Home Eco- nomics Club ’17; Normal Training.) Her heart is ocean-wide and deep, Her swirling waves of friendship sweet. Mildred is one of our Normal girls. She is a good and an efficient worker. But what is the meaning of that ring on her left hand, you ask? Well, here is a hint. Just watch how often she mails a letter to one of Uncle Sam’s Sammies. Agnes Laptad:—(Senior Basketball, Chairman of Refreshment Commit- tee ’16; Y. W. C. A. ’16, ’17, ’18.) A heart so soft, a heart so kind, A heart so sound and free.” Agnes is a “jolly good fellow” with spirits above par and lots of “go”. Anything is the better for her support,—from a Barn Dance to a Senior Circus. Florence Havecotte:—(Y. W. C. A. ’15, ’16; Normal Class.) A quiet mind is richer than a crown.” Florence is another L. H. S. graduate who will impart knowledge to the younger generation next year. Her memory lives oh in L. H. S. for Elliot has not yet graduated. Gerald Pipes:—(Class Basketball ’17, ’ 18; Basketball Team ’18; Boys’ Club ’17, ’18; Student Council ’18.) A genial disposition brings many friends “Jelly (occasionally called Gerald by the teachers) went his genial way through High School life, spending most of his time at the Y. M. C. A., until his Senior year. This year “Jelly” started out to do things. Besides various other school activities he became one of the stars on the basketball team. The adulation received from the gentler sex during the season certainly turned his head, for he blossomed out into a lady’s man and even condescended to have a case. Helene White:—(Y. W. C. A. ’17, ’18; Chairman Big Sister Com- mittee; Financial Committee Class ’18.) ‘‘Her air. her manner, Courteous tho coy, and gentle tho retired. The Joys of youth and health her eyes displayed. And ease of heart her every look portrayed. Helene has been with us only two years but we’re glad she left Kansas City and came to graduate with us. She is a good worker and a willing one at that. Ethel Shearer:— “And. gentle In her manner, she does hold things in a quiet way.” Ethel lives just outside of Lawrence. She has been with us all four years, and is one of our most faithful girls. Her specialty is music, which she expects to teach the younger generation. Sam Nelson :—(Boys’ Club ’16, ’17; Y. M. C. A. Boys’ Club Circus ’16; Boys’ Club Student Council ’16; Auditorium Circus ’17.) It is Tortunate men’s deeds are not measured by their stature. “Sammy” is a mighty good fellow. He is quite undecided as to what studies Jie likes; that is, if he likes any. Hans Kat Charley Footney Walter Achning:— “Men of sterling worth, are sometimes silent. Hans has been with us all four years. This year he could not find enough work to do at H. S. so he is taking typewriting at the Business College. We ex- pect to find him at K. U. next winter. Evelyn Hayden:—(Home Economics Club ’17; Y. W. C. A. ’17, ’18; Glee Club ’18; Normal 'Training.) “She seems so near but yet so far. Evelyn is one of our real “school marms”. She has already capitalized her completed Normal course by securing her school for next year. Kathleen Doering:—(O’lta ’15, ’16, ’17, '18; Secretary-Treasurer (Vita 16; Chairman Program Committee (Vita '17; Aesthetic Dancing ’17, ’18; Y. W. C. A. '17, ’18; Exchange Editor Budget '17; Literary Editor Budget ’18; Editor-in-Chicf Annual ’18; Honor Student.) The heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute. When “Kat” travels up the Hill, next year, she leaves vacant a place which L. H. S. will have to “look sharp” to fill. She is not one who “climbs a tree and hollers,” but she is there with the deeds. Wc look for great improvement in the “Kansan” soon. Charles Ober Radcliffe:—(Boys’ Club ’15, 16, ’17; Student Council ’16; Senior English Class Play ’18.) For he’s bonny and braw, well favor'd witha’. And his hair has a natural buckle and a’. Charles is the very picture of masculine perfection in dress. This no doubt is caused by the influence of working on afternoons and Saturdays in Ober’s Clothing Store. But he’s a good hearted fellow and popular among the ladies. Gladys Charles:—(Y. W. C. A.) “Oh, she sits high in all the peoples. Gladys has not spent the entire sum of her High School days at L. H. S. but we are glad to have her graduate with Class '18. Here’s hoping she stays with us at K. U. next year. Vera Castles:— '‘Always gentle, sweet and true.” Vera is never too busy to give a smile and a merry w'ord of greeting to her friends. She is a wfec bit timid hut we love her for it, for then she is just Vera. She intends to go on the Hill next year. Charles Morgan:—(Class Treasurer ’14.) “Thou hast a piic-t, mysterious air. “Footney” is a man of lofty heights. His genial, independent way is liked and respected by all who know him. Women don’t bother him a bit. He has weightier things upon his mind. Araii Wiedman:—(Y. V. C. A. ’15; Junior Prom Farce ’17; Senior Circus Committee ’18; (Vita ’i( , ’17, ’18; Glee Club Y8.) “To have friends Is to bo one. “Asia” is one of those capable girls who can accomplish anything she de- sires. Her ambition is to become a business woman, so we will probably find her in Business College next year. Pick Virginia Nellie Emma Pete Eunice Cassi e Big Steve Prescott Underwood:—(Football ’16, ’17; Boys’ Club ’16, ’17, '18; Secretary Senior Class ’18.) life’s the king- o’ guid fellows.” “Pete” is the very personification of what a football hero should be. He is big—about 200 lbs. big—and when he prances out on the field every opponent trembles. “Pete” doesn't care anything about the other sex—except one of them. Lillian Mayer:—(Tennis ’17; Y. W. C. A. ’18; Chairman “Fats” Com- mittee Senior Class.) It Is good to lengthen to the last a sunny mood.” Lillian spent her Sophomore days in Omaha High School. However, she showed how wise she was by coming back to us again. Her rosy cheeks and good nature have won many friends for her. Her specialty is tennis, which she plays to perfection. She will go to K. U. next year. Virginia Beery:—(Y. W. C. A.: Aesthetic Dancing ’17.) Her ways are ways of quietness. Altho Virginia is seemingly ouiet, you should have seen her in the Senior Girls’ Circus. She will be on the Hill next year, which makes us very glad. Nellie Lynn:—(Tennis ’17; Basketball ’17, ’18; Knitting Club ’18.) If learning could keep a woman alive, she would outlive Methusalah. Nellie, with her great achievements in the line of knowledge, is another credit to the Class of '18. Altho she may not have received an L, she certainly deserves honorable mention. Emma Olson:—(Home Economics Club ’ 16; Normal Training.) Her ways are ways of pleasantness. Emma is one of our quietest girls but, as the saying goes, “Still waters lun deep.” She intends to teach little papooses reading and writing and arith- metic next year. We know that her pupils will all love her as her High School friends do. Eunice Artman:— Her heart as far from fraud as heaven from earth. Not only has Eunice undergone the usual course of knowledge in L. H. S., but she has also developed an electrical turn of mind to the delight of Hienie, who never tires of relating her exploits at Kent in that line. Cassie Taylor:—(Y. W. C. A.; Debating Club ’18; Aesthetic Dancing '18; Normal Training.) ‘‘She Is want to speak plain and to the purpose.” Cassie is one girl, at least, who can talk something else besides nonsense, as you would know if you ever ventured forth to debating. She is a good worker and a willing one. Georce Stevenson:—(Football ’18.) I know not of his brains, but his body hath great size. “Big Steve” evidently has brains or it would not have been possible for him to get a perfectly good diploma. George is a good sport and when it comes to real football he shines. Burt Norma Mac Dubs Ruth Jinnie Riley Emma Burton Stevenson:—(Boys’ Club ’16, ’17, ’18.) “There's honesty, manhood and good fellowship In him.'' Burton is the sort that improves on closer acquaintance. He says little and does much. His purpose in going to High School is shown by the thoroughness with which he does the work assigned him. Jennie Glendinning:—(Sophomore Farce ’16; Tennis ’16, ’17, ’ 18; Aesthetic Dancing ’17, ’18; Basketball ’16, ’17, ’18; Y. YV. C. A. 17, Vice Presi- dent ’18; O’ita ’17, ’ 18; Manager Glee Club ’17, ’18; Student Council ’17; Budg- et Reporter ’18; Chairman Class Day Committee ’18; Debating Club 18; Com- mencement Program ’18; Honor Student.) “A smile o’ her wad hanish care. Hoot, mon! but Jinnie’s a braw lassie wha’ll “carry on” where e’er she be. She wi’ gae oop the Hill nexit year and muckle greet will be L. H. S. Nane sic anither is there tae do the Soward Dance and the Hieland Fling. Norma Stewart:—(O’ita ’16; Y. YV. C. A. ’17, ’18; Normal Training Class.) “Everybody's friend, nobody's enemy. Norma isn’t going to waste her four years of hard high school work, so she’s' going to teach school. Imagine the Normal class of ’18 without Norma. Emma Houghton:—(Home Economics Club ’17; Y. YV. C. A. ’18; Girls’ Glee Club ’18.) Her ways are ways of pleasantness, Her paths are paths of peace.” Although Emma is another of our quiet girls she is also one of our main standbys. She received honorable mention for good school work and we expect her to be one of the “bright” students at K. U. next year. Rhoda McLean:—(Basketball ’15, ’16, ’17, ’18; Girls’ Glee Club ’18.) The grace and blush of modesty. Rhoda could always be depended upon to keep the enemy away from the goal. She has played guard on the basketball team for four victorius years. Ruth Boughton:—(Y. YV. C. A. ’17; Girls’ Glee Club ’18.) •‘She hath a natural, wis ' sincerity, A simple truthfulness; these have but her dignity. Ruth ranks among the quiet and faithful girls. Yet her fame lies not in these things but in her singing. Perhaps we have another Madame Gadsky in our midst. She expects to go on the Hill next year. Ada Andrews:— Every maiden knows That she who chides her lover. Forgives him e're he goes. Ada was born near Lawrence and acquired her early training in a country school house, later removing to town and finishing Central and L. H. S. She intends to go to Emporia Normal next fall. Riley Rogers:—(Budget Reporter ’18.) I would make reason my guide. Riley, can be found at all times inquiring into the reason why things are ar they are. This analytical mind will serve well in the course of medicine he intends to take up at K. U. Lawrence Merna Louise Lon ey Lee Jesoming Dutch Sumner Lawrence Clark:— “Speech is shallow as time. Silence deep as eternity.” Lawrence is the mathematician of the Class of '18. He will probably be one of the engineers of the future. Lela Brown:—(Basketball 16; V. W. C. A. ’18.) “Quiet talks she liketh best in a bower of gentle looks.” All year Lela has been industriously “pulling down” E’s in French, worry- ing over Physics and History quizzes and sewing for French and Belgian orphans. Next year she will go to K. U. and have some more quizzes to worry over. Merna Uttinger:—Home Economics Club 16; (Vita 16, ’17: Y. W. C. A. ’15, ’16, ’17. ’18; Debating Club ’18.) She was a scholar and a ripe and good one. Merna has, without doubt, earned her scholarship L. Although she has taken the Normal course she does not intend to teach. She will take training in nursing at Bethany Hospital, Kansas City, and possibly we may next hear of her in France. Jessamine Fugate:—(Basketball ’16; Secretary Home Economics Club i6; Y. W. C. A. ’15, '16, ’17, ’18; Secretary-Treasurer (Vita 18; Senior Girls’ Circus ’18; L. H. S. Knitting Club 18; Honor Student.) Intelligence is to genius as the whole is in proportion to its part. “Jessminy” may not speak as loud and long as others, but it is certainly not because the wherewithal is lacking. When it is a question of doing something for somebody, she is right there with the helping hand. Louise Elliot:—(Junior-Senior Party Farce ’17; Girls’ Glee Club ’17: Aesthetic Dancing ’18; Farce, Blow Out ’18; Chairman Decoration Committee Blow Out ’18.) Charms strike the sight, ami merit wins the soul. Louise has been a staunch L. H. S.’er for all her High School course, but this year her attention has been divided with K. U., tho wha's his name we dinna choose tae tell. Edith Broat:—(Y. W. C. A. ’18; Glee Club ’18: Basketball.) There is mischief in «her laughter, There is danger in her eye. Edith is another merry classmate. Her friends describe her as “cute,” fthe popular meaning of the word, not the literal). She has a “terrible” case hut as to her ambitions we know nothing. Leone Hilkey:—(Y. W. C. A. ’15, ’16, ’17, ’18; Girls’ Glee Club ’18; O’ita ’17, ’18: O’ita President ’18.) “A smooth and steadfast mind. Gentle thoughts and calm desires. Leone is a hard worker and a good all-round girl. She helps us out in our Glee Club and strange to say dotes upon Chemistry. She will go on the Hill next year with the rest of us. Sumner Rogers:— My tongue within my mouth I rein. For who talks much must talk in vain. Sumner is best known by his modest retiring ways. Next year will prob- ably find him in the service of Uncle Sam. Pud Vet Molly Jake Verxe Simmonds:— “i-Ils worth is warrant for his welcome hither.” Iola lost heavily when Verne came to Lawrence. Some have said that he is bashful but if it had been true he is outgrowing it very rapidly. Verne can recite until the teachers pray for peace. Nancy McClelland:— “For she was jes' the quiet kind Whose nature never vary� .” Nancy has favored us with her presence only at short intervals this last year. Her time has been divided between K. U. and L. H. S. Next year, her K. U. work will give her an advantage over the rest of the ’18 greenlings. Josephine Dumas:— “She adorns all that she touches,” We have not seen much of Josephine this year. She has been flitting about in regions unknown, with only occasional relapses into L. H. S. society. Out of sight, however, is not out of mind, and we hope she enters K. U. with Class ’18, next year. Vester Kendall:—(Boys’ Club ’iG, ’17; Boys’ Club Cabinet ’18; Circu- lation Manager Budget ’18; Executive Committee Junior Prom ’17; Senior Eng- Ii.-h Class Play ’18; Reading Contest ’18; Commencement Program ’18; De- bating ’i8.) “And where there’s “Lizzy” in the case, All other things give place.” “Vet” is one of the busy men of the class. But no matter how busy, he has time for a few dates. We expect “Vet” to be one of the outstanding members of the freshman class at K. U. next year. Mae Conner:—(Basketball ’18; Normal Training.) “Sweet records, promises as sweet; A creature not too I night or good For human nature's daily food.” What would have become of the Senior dirls’ Basketball team if it hadn’t been for Mae? The way she plays basketball shows what a thorough teacher she will make next year. Vera Brown:— “For peace of mind, that gift devlne, And sjMitloss innocence, were thine.” Vera has lived in Lawrence a!! her life. Although she is very quiet some- times, she is in reality a very jolly little person. Her intention is to go on the Hill next year but she may change her mind and go to Business College. VVayn e Simmonds :— It is not wise to he wiser than necessary.” “Brick” has been with us only one year. Before this year, he went to Iola H. S., where he is reported to have participated in everything in general. This year his attention has been particularly concentrated on a certain Senior girl. Ruth Clark:— ‘‘Her smiles bring happiness to the multitude.” Ruth was born in this city and has attended the Lawrence schools from the beginning of her primer class to the end of her High School years. We hone to have her with us at K. U. next fall. Or LAND Hat Alice Jake Mary Glen Ruby Billy Orland Messen’heimer:—(Boys’ Club ’i6, ’17, ’18.) I-Iis smile will never fail.” Orland has gone through H. S. in three and a half years, and during that time, has never failed to see the funny side of life. He is a hard working fellow who will always get along wherever he goes. Mary Brown:—(V. VV. C. A. ' 18.) Generally speaking, woman is-—-generally speaking.” Mary “blew in” to us in our Junior year, from Minneapolis, Kansas. She immediately established herself in her classes as bc;ng one of the bright students. She is bound for K. U. next year. All wish her luck and it is bound to come. Helen Trumble:—(Girls’ Glee Club ’18; Girls’ Quartette; Minstrel Committee Senior Circus.) “Patience is a plant that grows not in all gardens. Helen distinguished herself this year in the Girls’ Glee Club concert, where .she took part in the Quartette. She is going to teach in Kansas City next year and we know that her pupils will receive a thorough course in music besides their ordi- nary studies. Glen Shepard:—(Debating Team ’18.) The manly part is to do with all your might and main what you can do. (den went to Kansas City with the debaters and line reports of his speech traveled back to L. H. S. This was his first attempt at debating, but much may be expected of Glen next year at K. U. Alice McGuffey:—(Y. VV. C. A. ’18; Honor Student ’18.) Tell me. If she were not designed The eclipse and glory of her mind.” Alice deserted us for a year but decided that L. H. S. was the best place to graduate from after all. We are proud to have such a girl in our midst and arc glad that she received an “L” in spite of the fact that she carried six subjects all this year. Ruby Steele:—(Y. VV. C. A. ’14; Normal Training.) 'A maiden as demure and sweet, As one could ever wish to meet.” Ruby is another “Normal” girl who has decided to teach some little Indians the elements of learning. But how long she will follow this profession we are able to guess by the looks of her left hand. Frank Sellards:— Flowery oratory lie despised. “Jake” has been with us four years, and has not until lately been attracted by the gentler sex. However, this can not be said of him now, although, really, he is very modest about mentioning such treasures. Nellie Russell:— ”1 sigh not over vanished years. But watch the years that hasten by.” Nellie has spent several years with us, in which she has shown untiring perseverance in her pursuit of knowledge. This is a quality that will mark her as a good teacher when she enters the school room next year. Ora Nicholson:—(Orchestra ’15, ’16, ’17; Y. W. C. A. ’16, ’17; Home Economics Club ’17; Knitting Club ’18.) We owe much to Ora for her good work in the L. H. S. Orchestra. It takes a good deal of amiability, not to mention patience, to practice for three successive years, especially when you live as far from school as Ora does. She intends to go to K. U., where she will study “Anatomy”. Is not that an original idea for a girl? Bernice Kuhn:—(Girls’ Glee Club ’17; Home Economics Club ’17; Senior English Class Play ’18; Debating Club ’18; “Blow Out” ’18; Chairman Barker Committee, Senior Circus.) Bernice came to L. H. S. from Texas, in her Sophomore year. Stirring up interest in debates has made up a large and useful part of her career. She intends to return, next year, to Texas. Kathleen Davis:— Kathleen came to us from Perry in her Sophomore year. She deserted us this year for the “higher altitudes”. During her short stay in L. H. S. she made many friends and we all missed her when she left. A quiet and sincere friend to all who know her.” “Argue, argue, morning, noon and night Tho tho world would run backward She'd argue It out all right.” “My tongue within my lips I rein. For who talks much must talk in vain.” : CAPITAL AND SURPLUS $250,000.00 Lawrence, Kansas : ESTABLISHED 1877 Officers And Directors WILLIAM DOCKING, President : : CARL W. McKEEN, Vice President W. F.

First: We request that our funeral (commencement) be well attended. Second: In view of the probable increase in the cost of chewing gum, as a dying request we ask that the class of 1920 collect all chewing gum found on the under side of desks in our class-rooms and carry it to the chemistry room, there to have said gum thoroughly sterilized with H-2 S., the gum then to be chewed economically by members of said class of 1920.

Eighth: To Miss Pettis do we will a new method of handling Current Events so that so many students will not receive V. P.'s on Current History day. Ninth: To Cecil Hale do we grant the exclusive right of avoiding class recita- tion by occupying the entire time with the argument, “Is the German or American More Intelligent?” Tenth: To Frank Rising the privilege of using the most fantastical words and phrases in the English language.

Signed, CLASS OF 1918. By, Gerald Pipes, Alice McGuffey, Wayne Simmonds, Mary Brown. The Class Prophecy of 1918 Here we sit looking, We witches three, Into the future For a prophecy. The cauldron is bubbling. Arise, ye winds! Ha, go to the four corners of the earth and relate the fortunes of the Class of 1018 in half a score years and ten. I give you two seconds. Well done, Eastwind, commendable servant of the Black man’s world. Give it me. First and foremost after twenty years is Edmund Learned, who as president of the World’s League for Peace, induced the Kaiser to resign his crown and finish his military career as sergeant in the Salvation Army. The Queen of the Class, Miss Jessie Martindale, has forsaken the lures of the world and is doing home mission work in the Chicago slums, and is greatly as- sisted by Glen Shepherd, who uses his oratorical talent against the use of cigarettes. Believing in the brotherhood of all men, Riley Rogers and Sumner Rogers are taking the place of the Wright Brothers, and have invented an alarm clock which is a self winder and tells the time to anyone who even looks at it. Leone Hilkey, who has sung for countless Edison records, has also been mak- ing farewell tours around the world for the past decade. Gerald Pipes, well known as a former contr'buter to “The Budget”, has be- come an author of renown and writes twelve stories each week for the light fiction of today. Paul Patterson and Gladys Charles, as a business enterprise, have opened a fchop on Fifth Avenue, New York, where ideas, original western ideas, arc sup- plied for the asking and paying. Louise Elliott is conducting a school for young ladies who wish to learn to (lirt, just outside the boundary of Vassar. Kathleen Doering has succeeded Wm. Dean Howells as editor of “The Easy Chair.” Verne and Wayne Simonds are still chasing each other around the world in an attempt to gain the favor of the wealthy heiress, Mary Underwood, the big reason for their fraternal jealousy. Arah Weidman has been oscillating from one position to another, seeking a more popular and advantageous situation. Nancy McClelland is the cub reporter on the “Newburg Nightly News.” She aspires to the editor’s chair. Many of the class are across the water cultivating the European peoples. Roberta Gorsuch is living in an ancestral chateau in southern France, with her beloved French lieutenant husband. He was instructing in aviation at a can- tonment during the great war when her winning ways caused him to rise to the seventh heaven. Alice McGuffey is the leading worker in the restoration and reconstruction of Belgium. She entertains the people with selected readings twice a week. Burton Stevenson and Emma Olson are collaborating in Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. work in Germany among the people, in order to revivify and resanitize them. Bernice Kuhn is Paris' most famous mannekin. Her charming, unaffected manners endear her to the Parisians. In the dramatic world, Marguerite Clark and Harold Lockwood have been for- gotten, and in their places are Rachel Shale, the tiniest actress on the screen, and Charles Radcliffe, whose handsome features on the bills fill the theaters to over- flowing. Dora Helmick has made a perfect substitute for Geraldine Farrar, in all three roles, legitimate, cinema and singing stages. Lucrle Gentry is the only movie actress of renown who will claim Lawrence as her home. In fact, she is planning to establish her studio here. Gladys Dunakin is still enrapturing the multitude. In the role of Madame Lightfoot, she dazzles the public, while Isadora Duncan sits in her dotage. Nellie Lynn has won world-wide fame as a flag-maker, and knitted silk flags have taken pre-eminence over the old style woven ones. Her headquarters are in Washington, D. C. Ruth Clark is the beautiful and gifted widow of the late successor to Booker T. Washington. She is now living with her friends, Gomez and Ada Andrews Hamilton. Sophia Utermann, who went to Rome to see the Forum, took up her residence there and is now doing the Pope's washing. Lillian Mayer has joined her brother in Russia and is helping bind the Russian government into a more coherent and co-operating machine. Grace Gaskill, as president of the Board of Directors of the International Bible School, has been influential in having a federal law passed prohibiting young people under 24 years from attending motion pictures. Well done, Eastwind! Has your brother, Southwind, recognized as well the momentum of this duty? Hence and let me perceive. Norma Stewart is living on a farm in southern Oklahoma and gets more prizes with her jam and cakes than her husband does with stock. Kathleen Davis has been spending her time in Hawaii, teaching the natives to play the ukelele and to sing such characteristic songs as “They're Wearing Them Higher in Hawaii.” Josephine Ramsey has been happily wedded to a long-time governor of Ari- zona. To her influence the people attribute the super-excellence of their gover- nor's actions. Orland Messenheimer is a practicing physician in Texas and is losing the usual number of patients from mosquito bites. Ruby Steele's fourth finger, left hand, has always shown plainly what her future would be. She is now occupying a rose-covered bungalow in southerr California. The Havenhill, Kendall and Co., Shoe Manufacturers, have gone into bank- ruptcy because the treasurer, Raul Luckan, absconded with the company’s funds. Rhoda McLean is matron of the White's Orphan Asylum in New Mexico, for even after so many years she cannot forget the class president of that name. Florence Havekotte is instructor in an academy guaranteed to make thin peo- ple fat, the skinnier the better. Margaret Graeber travels through the south on the Lyceum course, orating on “Worry, And Its Bad Effects.” She is the world's greatest woman speaker. Walter Achning is conducting the subway car in Lecompton, Kansas. Walter Morrison and Herbert Olson are serving life sentences in the regulai army at Fort Sam Houston, for having engaged in a fist fight on the battlefield during the second battle of the Marne. Vera Castles, the most noted missionary in South Africa, is to be married soon to a bewhiskered fellow missionary, neath a towering cocoanut tree. All the best families of the jungle are invited. .Mildred Coker is a beauty specialist in New Orleans and is ably assisted by her model, Marion Patman. Well doiR?7“SotithwindTT Join your brother, Eastwind. Ha, local breezes. You HCXt! First.

Josephine Dumas has taken advantage of the new freedom which the war made possible for women and has successfully run the elevator in Innes’ store for many years. All Kansas University men have ceased walking to class since Helene White has become motorgirl on the K. U. car. It has been necessary to install a larger car. Lawrence Clark is now the junior partner of the Lawrence Cycle Works. Jennie Glendinning is well known as a Shakespearean actress. Edith Broat has become Mrs. Gus Goggens, and Mr. and Mrs. Goggens arc doing scientific farming near Lawrence. Edna Johnson is principal of the new African Methodist seminary for girls established on Blue Mound. Nellie Russell is the foreman of Henry Ford's machine shop in Kansas City. Well done, local breezes! Now join your uncles, Eastwind and Southwind. Hither, Westwind. Lela Brown is busily engaged, in southern California, in picking the blossoms off her half dozen century plants. Her able assistant is a tall, dark man, whose dusky eyes express unbounded admiration for her. Mac Conner with her golden tresses falling over her shoulders is the fearless rider of a big white horse in the largest circus west of the Mississippi. Frank Sellards is a Rear Admiral in the United States Navy, and patrols the entrance to the Panama Canal. Lily Bond is the greatest woman evangelist and has converted many wealthy society leaders to her doctrine of leading a day lighted life. Martha Mackie has married a wealthy rancher in Arizona. She and her hus- band are known throughout the west as the manufacturers of wholesome cottage cheese. Miss Virginia Beery is running a boarding house not far from the Hill on Tennessee street. The K. U. students clamor for the privilege of eating there.

Sam Nelson is U. S. ambassador to Paraguay and by his wonderful diplomacy has managed to keep the U. S. out of what might have been a most serious war with that country. Dorothy Christine is now “over there” in an Army Cantonment distributing good cheer, along with more substantial sustenance, to homesick soldier lads. She has charge of a Hostess House. Mary Brown holds a responsible position at the Eldrige, where she is known and revered as head waitress. Earl Endacott is King of the Underworld in New York City, where he rules voters with an iron hand and endures no opposition from anyone. Dorothy Stanley, while she was still quite young, took the veil, and now we find her a meek and unassuming nun. Gretta Roland is the proud coach of an all star international basketball team which plays games throughout the world. In the far east we find Miss Doris Patterson badly overworked by the strenu- ous duties of a ward school teacher in Jerusalem. Xania Tuttle is traveling salesman for a most excellent preparation, which is guaranteed to remove warts, cleanse the scalp, heal immediately all cuts, wounds or bruises, to say nothing of keeping the hands smooth as satin and acting as a wonderful tonic to take in the spring.

Merna Uttinger last year received the Noble prize for knowledge and is in- tending to establish an international school for analyzing the brute intelligence, via Germany.

Charles Morgan is the leading attorney in Reno, Nevada, where his winning ways do much toward reconciling the young women to their ogres for the time at least.

Agnes Laptad has inherited her father’s stock farm and is now buying up all the fancy stock in this country, from no selfish motives, of course. Verne Church has taken John D. Rockefeller’s place and complacently admits that he owes his brilliant success to the “company’s expense account”. Ruth Boughton and Eunice Artman are the proud possessors of a two-acre chicken ranch out west and provide little flocks to all young couples who wish to establish similar ranches. Well done, Westwind! Whence come the Northwind, and so late? And has he only one name to add to this list? For this evil deed, Northwind, you shall no more go into the world for the Prince of Darkness. Emma Houghton is the chief librarian in the Carnegie library in Nome, Alaska. What? Has a little breeze been lost from the mighty Eastwind? What news? Hither! Ora Nicholson, assisted by Vera Brown, is happily inhabiting the middle of the Sahara Destert, where she devotes her undivided attention to an exhaustive study of the bones of the unfortunate ones, who never got across. Excellent, O winds! Ye have them all. Into the cauldron One and all Ye have served me well To come at my call.

This year in the capacity of Seniors, we have been entirely too busy managing the school, preventing thoughtless Juniors and Sophomores from giving the timid little Freshmen, baths in the new drinking fountain too often for the good of their health, to bother with many social events. We gave only one party in the fall of this school year, and this spring the Senior Girls gave a circus in order to jolly enough money out of the rest of the school to give the Senior boys a breakfast The class of '18 has always been noted for its prominence in school affairs, ad- ministrative, social and athletic. Our honor students number seven. They are Jen- nie Glendinning, Merna Uttinger, Dorothy Stanley, Jessie Martindale, Kathleen Doering, Alice McGuffey, and Jessamine Fugate. Those who received Honorable Mention arc Edmund Learned, Leone Hilkey, Nellie Lynn, and Emma Houghton. Indeed our class can boast as among its number the only girl who has served on a debating team. Therefore at the close of our high school careers, we the class of 11)18 do lay a hearty benediction upon the undergraduates and the classes yet to come, hoping that they will keep up the good work of making L. H. S. the best high school in the United States. Juniors Baumgartner Maxwell Cutter Higgins Esterly President....... Vice-President .. Secretary ...... Treasurer ....... Budget Reporter ... George Esterly .. Mildred Maxwell .. Charlotte Cutter --- Severt Higgins Leona Baumgartner Student Council Annie Mitchell, Paul Endacott, Paul O’Leary, William Engel. The class of “ninetcen-nineteen” was one of the largest which ever entered L. H. S. We selected Arlo Putnam for our first president, and.forest green and gold for our colors. We gave two parties, the first, a masquerade, and the second important for its farce. In our Sophomore year we were lead by William Engel. Both parties were very successful and a famous farce, “The Bunch of Roses,” was given at the Carnival. This year we have had two presidents, first, George Van Hocsen, and now George Esterly. A very clever party and dance was given in the fall. This spring we gave one of the best “Proms” ever, a “war” one too, under the management of Elizabeth Dunkel and David Mackie. A farce, “Heirs-at-law” was presented by Severt Higgins, Kenneth Constant, Leona Baumgartner, Dave Mackie, Wilma Miller, Isabel Wood, and Charlotte Cutter. Members of the class are well represent- ed in all school activities and athletics. We are able to boast of furnishing the Boys' Club president, editor of the Budget, captain of the track and basket-ball teams, be- sides many honor students, football and tennis players for 1018. But that is not all —the Boys Club and Y. W. C. A. Presidents for 1919 are from our numbers. Soph omores Himoe Reding Johnson Olson Dick THE CLASS OF 1920 Two Martians gazed eagerly through the glass in turn. “Let us view it for two periods,” saith one, “and see what doth transpire. Allow me to take the view and in- terpret what doth occur. 1 see before me a building known as L .H .S. and in its halls people are rushing hither and thither in great numbers, seeking their rooms. Yea, they are freshmen, launching on their high school course. Now I see them counting ballots of paper, and announcing that one creature called O’Bryon is to pre- side over their destinies. They have given two parties, and at one an excellent farce. Aye, I recognize them in the Glee Club, the basket-ball, track, and football field, dis- tinguished everywhere and spreading a wide-felt influence for good.” “The scene has changed somewhat now. I see that they are more self-possessed, more stately; for they are called sophomores, and their former enemies, Juniors. The bits of paper are again counted and Theodore Olson declared the winner. Where they were noticed before they are manifold now. Yea, the debate, all athletics, all places where help is needed, find them on hand. Oh! queer, weird figures glide back and forth in a brightly lighted room. It is a masquerade at Manual. Now I see their coffers heaped with coins, and they have presented five silver dollars to the Red Cross. Everything is gliding smoothly on. They are an unusual class! Ah, I see no more------------all is dark. Yet stay awhile. Next year we shall again seek this glass and it shall unfold new wonders of this most renowned and honored group of people.” C. H. ’20.

Although the selecting of the colors, pink and gray, required great deliberation, the choice of a pin proved a matter of still more weight. However, the care used has brought us one of the most unique class pins ever used by freshmen. Anyone who has displayed any interest in the school activities knows that the members of the freshman class have upheld the honor of the school, both in football and basketball. So far the class has had only one party but they still have hopes for another before the end of the year. Keep your eye on the freshman! Watch us grow! Engle Carpenter O'Leary Endacott Goff Shepherd Gumbiner Endacott Luekan Mitchell Learned Brown Pipes The Budget Staff The Budget, which appeared this year for the first time as a bi-monthly newspa- per, was a venture into high school journalism. Heretofore the High School paper has always been in the form of a monthly magazine with exception of the Windmill, a bi-monthly published a decade or more ago. In former years the business manage- ment has always received a per cent of the gains and stood good for the loss but this year the school was to receive the profit or make up the loss if any occurred. Another new idea adopted was that of giving the members of the Editorial and Business Staff credit in composition for their work on the paper. Although the members of the Staff met every day under the supervision of Miss Poff, it was in no sense a class in journalism, but merely a newspaper office in which more efficient work could be produced. The typewriter presented by the Board of Education has had a very beneficial effect on the appearance of the paper, in that cleaner proof was produced. It also gave the members of the staff practical experience in typewriting. Altogether the new plan has worked out very successfully. The Budget will probably be carried on in much the same way next year. Paul Endacott. assistant Business Manager and William Anderson, Assistant Advertising Manager have been helping the present management in order that they might have experience before taking up the work next year.

H. S. For the purpose of getting money to buy this flag, an entertainment, “The Blow-Out,” was given by members of the Council. A Salvage Campaign was also directed by the Council, and the town was can- vassed for old paper. Another important matter that the Council settled is eligibility rules. These rules govern the number of school activities to which a person may belong. The Student Council conducted the Poster Campaign and furnished money for the prizes. A committee from the Student Council has erased all old announcements from the boards in the class-rooms, and has also removed them from the bulletin board. Another important work of the Council has been to arrange for chapel meetings. This work has been done by a committee from the council and by two members of the faculty. The Council is now making arrangements for a “Two-Bit” Club to be organized in the High School, of which every member must own Thrift Stamps. Rules for every organization of the High School to make a financial report to the office are also being made by the Council.

Boys’ Club of 1017-18 opened on the 25th of September at the “Y” with a watermelon feed and a football rally. Severt Higgins, the President, appointed the cabinet for the year. The members were: Edmund Learned, “Scoop” Olson, Paul Endaeott, Mr. Boltz and Mr. Emmett, advisors. Definite plans were outlined by the club for the following year, with special care. C. C. Hatford of Rock Island, Illinois, gave the boys their “sendoff” for the year. In November the Annual Y. W. C. A.-Boys’ Club Banquet was held at the “Y,” with an attendance of about one hundred and fifty persons. With this meeting the membership campaign was closed with eighty-seven members enrolled. Early in February, the Friendship campaign was launched assisted by F. H. Cheely, A. H. Tebben, A. J. Gregg and Ed. Todd. These men held over one hundred twenty-five interviews with the High School boys during their two days stay in Lawrence. A stunt night given by the Boys’ Club and a talk by F. H. Cheely on “Personality,” ended the campaign. The K. K. K. campaign started the 5th of March with a “send-off” speech by “Dutch” Wedell. Some sixty signers were secured. On April 16th the election of officers was held. The following members were chosen: President, Paul Endaeott; Vice-President, Harlan Carter; Secretary, Dins- more Wood and Treasurer, Francis Gregory. A camp-wood night was held on April 23rd so as to show the members of the club, the necessity of attending the annual Boys’ Club camp at Elmdale. Efforts were being made to send a double delegation of sixteen members. The camp will be held from May the 30th to the 7th of June. A Boys’ Club chapel was held on May 16th in connection with the Ministrel Show has been one of the most important features of the Club this year. It has ap- peared in many of the towns surrounding Lawrence, including Hesper, DeSoto and Vinland. For the first time, the W. C. T. U. recogizcd the Boys’ Club, resulting from the stand the club took when the members signed the K. K. K. Pledge. To show their appreciation the W. C. T. U. entertained the club with a supper on April 30. As this was the last meeting of the season great plans were made to make the club a bier thing next year. L. H. S.

Debaters: Jes- sie Martindale, Dinsmore Wood, Vester Kendall. L. H. S. negative team vs. Kansas City affirmative team, 0-3. Debaters: Glen Shepherd, Elliott Havekotte, Earl Endacott. The large enrollment in the debating class this year proves that debating is growing more popular in L. H. S. Also the girls are taking more interest in it. Last year there were only three in the class while this year seven or eight enrolled. The class was first under the charge of Mr. Sellers, who later enlisted and Mr. Me Keen was appointed to take his place. The try-out for the team was held Feb- ruary 13 and the teams were chosen as printed above with the exception of Glen Shepherd, who was first chosen as an alternate. He was put in Edmund Learned’s place, who was compelled to resign from the team because of lack of time and health. Cassie Taylor was the other alternate. Stanley Learned was chosen as alternate in Glen Shepherd’s place. The original plan for the debating team was a triangular debate between Leavenworth, Kansas City and Lawrence. Leavenworth was forced to drop out for various reasons and a dual debate with Kansas City was settled upon. The debates were held April 12, with the unfortunate results shown above.

All of its work has been undertaken with the greatest enthusiasm. Last winter the girls of the Y. W. C. A. voluntarily subscribed for the War Relief Fund $146.50 which was the largest amount subscribed by any High School in the West Central Field which includes Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas. In ad- dition to this patriotic movement, over a hundred girls in the Y. W. C. A. signed the Patriotic League pledge. Association meetings have been held everv two weeks, and Cabinet or All- Committee meetings have been held on the alternate Fridays. The Association meetings have been exceptionally helpful to the girls, and have been varied in character. At the close of the membership campaign in the fail a Joint Membership Ban- quet was held with the Boys’ Club, which was a great success. In November the annual Y. W. C. A.

If you can not hear us, We will shout a little louder,— No need however! The O’ita Society, successfully convoyed through this year by Miss Piotrowski, advisor, has labored right nobly at the process of emanatimr mental uplift in L. H. S. The first term officers were elected at the beginning of the school year; Chief High Mogul, Jessie Martindale; Vice Mogul, Leone Hilkev; Money Changer, Laura Adair; Policeman, Nadine Morrison; Publicity Agent, Kath- leen Doering. These officials held the bi-monthly meetings through a siege of mod- ern authors, debates, a farce, and a wiene roast. The lives and works of Bret Harte. Hamlin Garland, 0. Henry and manifold others were brought to light with good results. At Christmas time the L. H. S. boys at Doniphan were reminded of O’ita’s existence through a box of viands constructed by the members. The second term regime appeared in January; President, Leone Hilkey; Vice President, Sophia Utermann; Secretary-Treasurer, Jessamine Fugate; Sergeant-at- Arms, Elizabeth Dunkel; Budget Reporter, Roberta Gorsuch.

Captain Icenhower and Coach Twomey certainly put in their best ef- forts to whip the raw materia� into a winning team. The losing of games was largely due to the fact that the Lawrence squad was not large enough to permit scrimmage and the failure to get scrimmages with the Haskellites. Severt Higgins was elected captain for the 1918 squad. He possesses all the requisite qualifications for a good captain and is expected to turn out a good team next year. There will be more old material for him to work with and if he doesn’t turn out a bunch of players, he will turn out a bunch of prayers. THE PLAYERS “Ice Box,” captain, was just what a captain should be. He was popular with the boys and was unexcelled at tackling, and opening the “holes.” Verne Church played a consistent game at end throughout the entire sea- son and they way he wore his headgear had much to do with the morale of the team. “Big Steve,” held down his position as guard with both feet. His big frame broke up many line plunges during the season. “Chuck” Banning, the red headed cen- ter played every game of the season. L. II. S. would have been in hard lines if it hadn’t had Red to snap the ball. “Boy Scout” played a strong game at guard and tackle. He has gone back to Bartlesville, Oklahoma, where they play rougher football, but he left his hat at Ottawa. “Pete” Underwood showed he could carry the ball as well as tackle when he played full-back at Kansas City, Kansas. His head-long plunges saved the day. “Jimmie” Weede, freshman end had the honor of scoring more touchdowns than any other man on the team. “Birdie,” will be indispensible on the '18 squad. “Ulum,” the lightweight quarter showed that he had the stuff by playing his position during the whole season. He will star for the Red and Black next year. “Higgic” played a fast game at half and became an expert on promoting the ball by line-plunges. Higgins will run the L. H. S. machine next year. “Jack” was the fast half just to the right of the full-back. He has a wav of slipping through the line which will bo a ' big help during his future years on the team. “Swede” Olson was the only drop kick- er on the team. He played hard from start to finish and was especially strong on the defensive. “Pete” White. Pete was one of the fastest half backs that ever carried the ball for the Red and Black. He played in all the games and gained many yards especially in a pinch when a big gain was needed. V. V. C. “Dog” Reynolds will be back again next year to see that the backfield is properly taken care of. “Chief Dud” Neff had hard luck when he was taken sick with the small-pox but his playing entitled him to the “L” which he received. He won admiration everywhere for the spirit with which he carried the ball. George Lynn (water-boy) won the hearts of all the players by his faithful- ness with the water-bottle. George made all the trips, with the financial co-opera- tion of the team. The Track The outlook at the beginning of the season was very discouraging. Very few men reported for practice and those who went out were mostly green material. Paul O’Leary filled the position of coach as well as that of Captain and by steady training and good management a fair team was turned out for the Interscholastic Meet held May Fourth. At this meet O’Leary took first in the 50-yard dash and second in the 100. Carey Rogers showed what he was made of by getting second in the pole vault at 10 feet. Woestemeyer, star basket-ball player, took third in the broad jump. Patterson took fourth in the half mile. This gave Lawrence fourteen points, which is a good showing when the rawness of the material is taken into consideration. Next year, with a coach, the L. II. S. track team will be getting back on its old footing. Basket Ball Uhrluub Stauffer Woestcmeyer Weed Olson Pipes Houk End cott Walthcrs THE SEASON When the basketball season opened L. II. S. was in dire circumstances. In the first place there was no coach and in the second place there was just one letter man back on the job. The first progress was made when Clarence Houk was elected cap- tain; the next was in securing the services of Rudolph Uhrlaub as coach. All “Dutch got for his work was a reputation and a vote of thanks from the school. The season was a little late in starting but the combined efforts of “Terrible” and “Dutch” soon showed us a winning team. The boys won eveiy game of the league except that at Atchison; but when Atchison came down here the Red and Black score .more than evened things up. At the Baldwin Tournament the L. H. S. Quintet “cleaned up,” and were awarded a swell trophy, but hard luck was in the future. At the K. U. Tourney nobody was hitting right and as a consequence the Red and Black lost to Hays City by a small margin.

There are just two things that claim Houk’s interest; one is basket- ball, the other—well, just turn the pages and see who got the most votes for the worst case. Herbert “Scoop” Olson, center, was the only letter man who showed up for basket ball at the beginning of the sea- son. He played a fighting game from start to finish and usually got the “tip” on the ball. “Jimmy” Weede showed us this vear what a freshman can do. His position at guard never got too hard for him in spite of the fact that he had to oppose some rather husky men. “Jelly” Pipes made his first appear- ance in athletics this year. He develop- ed a remarkable eye and arm for shoot- ing baskets. Maybe the date he took to most every game had something to do wilt his accurate shooting. “Plukie” Endacot is an all around man: that is to say, basket ball is not his onlv hobby. He is an accurate goal shooter and had much to do with the pep that was displayed by the L. H. S. Five in every game. “Westie” is what we call the guy who came from Missouri, Sedalia to be more explicit. He had played basket- ball before, of course. Without his work at guard we could not have expect- ed the winning team that was turned out this year. “Stuffy” Stauffer or “Stew Fire” is bound to be a regular if he stays in school long enough, and it is reported that he will. He plays a good center and has developed an arm for hittimr the basket. Senior Girls’ Basket Ball Alcl eon Knop Crawford Oatman Lap tad Christine Ramsey Roland Conner Rroat Glendinning Lynn Henderson The senior basketball team is the champion girls' team of the achool! Under the able directions of Coach Crawford the girls have done exceptional well. Their teamwork and goal-shooting have been ideal. Not only this year have the girls been champions, but everyone of their four years. The final game of the Interclass tournament which was fought between the Sop- homores and Seniors was especially exciting, the score being Sophomores, 12; Sen- iors, 27. A silver loving cup was presented by Mr. Innes to the Seniors. The cup is to be passed along to next year’s victorious team. Last year, a cup was presented to this team by Mr. Innes for being champion for two years in succession. The team then gave the cup to the school. The girls deserved the games they won, every victory being the result of hard work and a fighting spirit. Much credit is also due to the second team, the mem- bers being very faithful in practicing with the first team, and assisting them. The line-up for the first team is as follows: Center—Gretta Roland (captain), Esther Knop. Forwards—Dorothy Christine, Jenning Glendinning. Guards—Rhoda McLean, Josephine Ramsey. The line-up for the second team is: Guards—Mae Connor (captain), Marion Oatman. Forwards—Agnes Laptad, Nellie Lynn. Centers—Eva Henderson, Edith Broat. Junior Girls’ Basket Ball Ilalo Knop Phillips Crawford Chadwick Curd Graober The Junior team, with Louise Phillips as captain, has been working long and hard this year. Although they did have to play the curtain raiser, it was some consolation, that they beat the Freshmen. When they began, they were not very remarkable but the whole team came out to every practice and soon acquired good team work. Most of this was due to the good coaching of Miss Crawford, who was always right on the spot when anyone wanted to practice. The Junior team has never been exceptionally good, and has always played the first game, but this year they showed a marked improvement. If the Junior team continues to strengthen they will have a chace to win the championship next year. The Line-Up Forwards—Louise Phillips, Denca Curd. Guards—Cecil Hale, Ada Chadwick. Center—Louise Knop. Second Center—Bernice Graeber. Sophomore Girls’ Basket Ball Vaughn Crawford Neubauer Ramsey Nelson Miller Brown Keroher The Sophomore basketball team with Versa Nelson as their captain have been doing their best for basketball. The forwards have been on the job every minute of the games; the centers have also worked very hard, but no harder than the guards. The Sophomores have had good training under Miss Crawford and wMh to thank her for the patience she has shown. The Line-Up Forwards—Versa Nelson (captain), Madolin Neubauer. Centers—Eleanor Ramsey, Hettie Vaughn. Guards—Rose Miller, Nettie Nordeen. Substitutes—Margaret Walker, Muriel Senor, Dorothy Higgins, Mildred Brown, Grace Keroher, Mildred Reinisch. Freshmen Girls’ Basket Ball Bailey Crawford Norris Henderson Roland McCord Mayer Go well The Freshman team, with Gladys Roland as the captain, have been doing some hard work this year. The forwards have been on the job every minute, doing their part for the team; the centers have been regular in thei attendance, working very hard, and the guards have done splendid work. In every game they have all felt the responsibility of doing their very best and as a result each practice meant im- provement. The subs have not had much chance to show their ability in playing, but nevertheless they have always been on hand and ready to play if necessary. Although the Freshmen were beaten this year they are coming out full force next year, and with the excellent coaching and patience of Miss Crawford they are sure to show the other teams a good fight. The Line-Up Forwards—Gladys Roland (captain), Fay Mayer. Guards—Elizabeth McCord, Nora Norris. Centers—Barbara Bailey, Dorothy Henderson.
