H. S., is open to any boy. The purpose of the club is to make better Christian citizens of its mem bers. Programs during the year included movies, speakers, and discussions. The officers are: Carroll Dolan. Treasurer; Tom Conner, Secretary; Alan Robb, President; and Bob Walters. Vice- President. Eri Wood is the head sponsor of the group. Hi-Y members and their dates gather around the fire place to roast hot dogs at the annual picnic-dance held at Potter Lake early in the fall. Could you lend me a dime? This statement is often heard around the concession stand run jointly by the Hi-Y and Y- Teens. Club members run the stand, which operates for about a half hour every day after school. Candy, gum. cokes, and Y-Teen stationary are sold there. All the profits from the stand are divided between the two organizations. Hi-Y is divided into groups according to classes. The groups meet separately once a month, the seniors with Mr. Bailey, the sophomores with Mr. Capper, and the juniors with Mr. Stuart. John Brown, junior, Daryl Beene, senior, and Jim Anderson, sophomore, are the chairmen who preside over separate class meetings. C Doris Evans and Judy Gorton give a skit based on the $64,000 Question quiz program to tell girls about Y-Teen membership and the purpose of the club.

SCIENCE CLUB PROMOTES INTEREST The Science Club is made up of students who are interested in any of the many phases of science. Membership is open to any student. During the year students make projects concern- ing many different fields of science. When the projects, ate completed, they are given a chance to make a special re- port on their project to others in the club. Field trips and tours of local industries are taken. Mr. Garvin C. Gillum, pictured at the left, teaches Physics, Radio and Industrial Science and is sponsor of this club. FUTURE NURSES CLUB ORGANIZED Miss Electa Kindlesberger, school nurse, and Mrs. Russell Frink, president of the local Medical Auxiliary which sponsors the club, look over notes for a coming meeting. Information about a nursing career and financial support are provided for the club by the Lawrence Medical Auxiliary. Girls who wish to become nurses now have an opportunity to learn more about nursing in the Future Nurses Club, a new organization at L. H.S. this year. Many girls have shown an interest in the club. Movies and speakers on different phases of the medical field, worth while projects, and a tour of the hospital were included in their programs this year. The Lawrence High chapter of the Future Farmers of America boards a chartered bus for their annual trip to the American Royal, in Kansas City. Through side excursions such as this, the organization gains much in the way of a practical insight into the development of better farming techniques and more useful citizenship.

The Part Time Occupational Club is-com- posed of students enrolled in Part Time Occupational classes. The purpose of this club is to teach clubmemberscorrect business pro- cedures. Students in this club are seniors who go to school in the morning and work in the afternoon. They will continue the jobs they now hold after graduation. Valu- able experience in everyday living is gained through their jobs. Through the efforts of E. J. Logsdon, Sponsor of the club, many students at Lawrence High School have recived jobs and become happy and successful in them. During the course of the year students learn the correct way to display mer- chandise. The way an article is dis- played adds greatly to the sales in the store. Students fix displays to practice for future jobs.

BUSINESS SKILLS ACQUIRED THROUGH OCCUPATIONAL TRAINING The correct procedure for selling merchandise is very important. Steps in selling articles are carefully studied. Pupils lcam how to approach a customer, to help him find what he needs, and then to close the sale. Larry James, Mary Tatham, and Roberta Loney demonstrate the final step in selling.

The Future Secretaries of Lawrence is a club composed of senior girls who want to become secretaries after they graduate. Attending school in the morn- ing, and working in offices in the after- noon, these girls learn what the life of a secretary is really like. Their jobs vary from general office work to secretarial work. Being recognized as a member of the State Business Education Club, valuable educational papers, books, and pam- phlets and secured for club members. By taking this course, girls gain competence, aggressiveness, self reli- ance, and cooperation and help spread these characteristics in the offices where they work. Max Stalcup, the sponsor of the club, ranks high in National and State Business Education Clubs. RIFLE CLUB TAKES AIM The Lawrence High School Rifle Club made a comeback this year after one year's absence from the high school activity scene. Student interest in reforming the club seemed to be stronger than it had been most years when the club was a permanent fixture at L. H.S. The sopho- more and junior classes showed particular concern in working to reorganize and revitalize the group. Faculty sponsor for the Rifle Club in his first year at L. H.S. is Mr. William Prince, auto mechanics instructor. Bren � Quvn V- patV.® • The squad was handicapped by the absence of many similar organizations in other schools in the northeast Kansas area with which it might compete. The best chances for competition seemed to rest in those high schools that had regular ROTC units with rifle com- panies included. The team practiced at the Military Science Building belonging to the University of Kansas and used ordinarily for the instruction of the Reserve Officers Training Corps personnel at KU. Tom Quinsey, Vice-President; Darleene Stone, Secretary; Lloyd Ericsson, President; Bill Harmon. Treasurer. Club Officers, inspect rifles at a regular Monday night meeting. L.R. • Dad Perry, instructor for the club and Boys' physical education teacher, points out which way to kick as Charles Cornwell works on a snap-up on the parallel bars. The camera stops Don Acher in the middle of a backward roll with a high finish, being executed on the parallel bars. Long hours of practice are required to perfect stunts of this sort. GYMNASTS PERFORM Lawrence High School's physical ed- ucation department continued its work in extra-curricular activities in the form of die Gym Club. Membership in the organ- ization is on a purely voluntary basis with those boys who want to meet after school on week-days to go above and beyond the call of duty in their gymnastic practice. Most of their work is carried on on the upper level of the boys gymnasium on the south side. Directing the practice and giving the boys valuable pointers on performing was our fine physical education instructor, L.R. Dad Perry. His long experience in training boys has been instrumental in keeping up the high standards that L.H.S. has set in this kind of work. However, it is also largely due to the efforts of the boys themselves that L. H. S. has consist- ently produced some of the finest tumbling and gymnastic teams in the state and has been called upon to perform for numerous exhibitions during the year. Many of the towns people have had an opportunity to get acquainted with the club through their performances during the half time periods at the home basketball games. It takes a great deal of practice and a great deal of patience to achieve per- fection in doing virtually anything worth- while, and this holds true even more than usual in this type of work. Therefore, it has remained the main objective of this club to do its best in training the body as the rest of the school trains the mind. Ray LaDuke goes over the top” in doing a giant on the high bar. LaDuke, a Junior, has one of the largest repertoires of tricks in the club. CHEERLEADERS SPARK ENTHUSIASM Pep rallies, pep skits, the bonfire, and the shirt tail parade bring back memories of five enthusiastic girls who contributed much to L.H.S. DORIS EVANS school spirit. It was a source ot pride to the whole school to know that outsiders too appreciated the fine talents of these girls as evidenced by the first place honors received at the cheerleading camp at Norman, Oklahoma this summer.

It must have been a touchdown! The L.H.S. Pep Club is shown in action, cheering on the Lions at one of the home football games early in the fall. The red and black pom-poms of die club were a familiar sight at pep rallies and athletic events throughout the school year. Membership in the Lawrence High Pep Club is open to any girl who really wants to sup- port the team. Qualities displayed by Pep Club memben are loyalty to the team and willingness to attend games and yell their lungs out. The club uniforms consist of red and black jackets with Lawrence written across the back, a white blouse, and a black skirt. On the days on which an athletic event occur, one visiting the school might think that they're seeing red, as red jackets arc worn by all 275 girls in the club. The Pep Club social season started with the annual W. P. A.. or women pay all party, and concluded with the Spring Formal, which was highlighted by the crowning of a queen, elected by the girls. By working extra houR and doing odd jobs such as passing out pro- grams and saving seats at home games, baking cookies for party refreshments, and making posteR for games, girls can earn the Pep Club emblem, a lion on an L . which is worn on their jacket. .. ft Work?

Coach Jerry Waugh, in his second year of coaching at L. H.S. built a championship team out of four returning lettermen and some able transfers from last year’s IT squad. The Lions were invited to Pittsburg for their first game of the season and, led by Jim Ragan with 20 points, obliged by dumping the Purple Dragons by an unbelievable score of 68-32. The next day the tired Lions were scalped by the Manhattan Indians, 53-68 in spite of Doyle Schick’s 18 point effort. For the 12th straight time, the Topeka Trojans proved more than a match for a Lawrence team that could manage to hit only three of 18 free throw attempts. The final score was 39-55. Argentine, Garden City, and McPherson were our guests for the Lawrence invitational tournament. Lawrence trounced Garden City 69-61, but succummcd to McPherson 49-58 to take second place. The Lawrence team got back in the groove by knocking the Highland Park Scotties 67-54. Ottawa, prcscason title favorites, barely pulled the nest game out of the fire 71-76. Gordon Abernathy hit 22 and Charlton Hamm 18 to pace the Lions. Paseo brought the tallest team Lawrence met all year, but the Lions ran circles around them. Junior Smith lead the red-hot Lawrence attack with 20 counters as all five starters (Smith, Abernathy, Hamm, Ragan, and Schick) scored in double figures. The reserves also gave a good account of themselves. It was David and Goliath all over again, 78-64. Topeka repeated its first performance by toppling Lawrence in a lackluster contest, 52- 63. A sizzlingly hot Lion quintet, led by Jim Ragan's 17 points, bounced back to rack up the Leavenworth Pioneers in a scoring spree. The reserves again gave a very good account of themselves, 80-51!

Carlton Hamm becomes a little over-zealous in an attempt to get the ball away from an equally determined Manhattan player. Bob Craig (44) and Don Wrench (21) look on with wide-eyed anticipation.

Abernathy and Ragan paced the Leos with tallies of 23 and 16 points, respectively. The whole Lion squad ran wild, handing Highland Park a bad night, the next time the L.H.S. basketeers ventured forth. All five Scottie starters fouled out, while Abernathy scored 21 points in the 66-52 rampage. Lawrence nailed down the 1956 NEKL championship and, at the same time, the lid on Ottawa's coffin in the most crucial and most exciting game of the season. It was anybody’s contest until the last second of an overtime period when Charlton Hamm sank a field goal, and with it, Ottawa’s title hopes, to enable L. H.S. to win by a score of 73-72. Abernathy again was red-hot, scoring 29 vital points. Wyandotte, rated first in the state early in the season, sliced a modest Lion winning streak in showing why they had been 1955 state champions, winning 66-44. Arch-rival Shawnee-Mission slugged it out with the Lawrence quintet in the last home game of the year for L. H.S., the Indians finally coming out on the long end of a 68-69 score. Abernathy counted 18, and Shick, 16. The last game of the year saw the Lions meeting a tall Leavenworth cage group on the opponent's home court, ending the regular season with a climactic 56-47 Lawrence, and with the NEKL crown in Lion hands for the first time in 8 years. The Leavenworth game, however, had to be forfeited because of forward Junior Smith's ineligibility. In the dressing room during the 56 basketball season, there was a sign saying, It's been seven long years”, counting from 1948. From now on the counting will be from 1956. LITTLE DEVILS.

BOYS COMPETE ALSO The boys, too at Lawrence High School, had available to them a program of intramural activi- ties in which they participated in force. Besides the Boys’ City League, intramural games were set up on a rather extensive basis for volleyball. Many of the details in the latter field of competition were handled directly through the boys gym classes with a large part of the credit due to L. R. Dad Perry, boys’ physical education instructor. As the various teams locked horns, a remarkable thing happened. A team composed entirely of sophomores emerged victorious and copped the championship.

CITY LEAGUERS FIGHT IT OUT The main intramural activity for boys at Lawrence High School centered around the Boys' City League basketball program. In this league, any boys who want to play basketball and do not make one of the varsity teams have a chance to play anyway with the possible reward of being on a championship team. The team are coached by different men teachers at L. H.S. who are interested in the boys and the sport. In the final analysis, the competition is keen, the experi- ences are valuable, and the games are fun.

Each of the 50 members tried out and was picked by Mr. R. Wayne Nelson, director, for the tone of his voice, ability to read music, and, of course, to carry a tune. Rehearsing three times a week and sometimes having additional rehearsals, this group performed more perhaps than any other musical organization in L. H.S. They entertained at dinners, parties, and banquets outside school hours. Their program for die year included the Fall Music Concert, Christmas Prelude, Spring Music Festival, the exchange concerts with Ottawa and Atchison, and For You a Song. There's one trip that the members of A Cappella, their director, and their principal will never forget. As a climax and reward to hours spent in practice, the choir took a three-day bus trip to St. Louis and performed 30 minutes before the National Convention of Music Instructors. RED AND BLACK CHORUSES ADD SPARKLE This year the Red and Black choruses combined to blend soprano, alto, tenor, and bass into sparkling melodies. In the fall this group performed at the Fall Music Concert. Their next appearance was for the Christmas Prelude, in which they sang songs per- taining to the season with the a cappella choir. Traveling to Ottawa for the exchange concert, no one missed the Red and Black chorus for it was practically the largest group from L. H.S. to take part. For You a Song“ and the Spring Festival rounded out a full schedule for these members. As long as there is class space, any junior or senior is welcome to join the Red and Black chorus.

The uniforms are red and black and have a flap on the front that may be turned to the Chesty Lion or the striped side. Another feature of the uniforms is that the hats have big, billowy plums on them that look quite up-to-date when they are blowing in the breeze. The band marched between halves at most all of the football games. They provided music for the Winter Band Concert and Spring Festival. As a special feature, the members marched in the KU relays parade. Mr. Kassinger also directs the band.

NO SECOND YEAR JINX HERE! Once again, Lawrence High School possessed one of the largest debate squads in the entire state with each of the students shown here representing the school in at least one tournament. SHOWN, FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, ARE: (1st row) Roger Pine, Carol Freeman, Judy Gorton. Blossom Frakes, Sandra Lee, Jim Yeh, and Doris Evans. (2nd row) Bill Wright, Bob Driscoll, Ray Nichols, John Brown, Ed Collister, David Gray, Frank Wiebc, and Coach Victor Capper. (3rd row) Jerry Schofer, C. V. Fishel, Harry Craig, Jim Anderson, Alan Endacott, Bob Shahan. Alan Coombs, Raymond Pippert, John Pritchard, John Wolfe, and Harold Fearing. You wore that last trip!, Ed Collister seems to be saying to Bob Driscoll as they meet the crisis that befalls all trip-taking debaters when they are forced to decide what to pack. At this point, it would seem that clothes are more important than subject matter. Ray Nichols, the second affirmative speaker, had the best speaker rankings of any debater at the state tournament, being named first in six of his seven de- bates. He is also possessor of many of the Lawrence Hign individual speaker records. John Brown was first affirmative speaker on this year’s state debate team. John, a junior, . was the only speaker in the state debate tournament who was not graduating and will be counted upon heavily in next year’s debate efforts. A special point of pride for ajl debaters was their fine collection of trophies. This year’s competition netted this array of awards, representing the captures of the following places: Fort Scott (1st), Atchison (2nd), Topeka (3rd), Pittsburg (1st), Manhattan (1st and 2nd), Olathe (1st), Lawrence Squad Tourney (1st), District Tournament (2nd), and the State Tournament (2nd). This was the second year for the revival of debate at Lawrence High School and the results of the last two years’ work was little short of phenomonal. With three of the members of last year’s district team returning, the L. H.S. speakers went to work promptly on the quest- ion, Resolved: that the federal government should guarantee higher education to qualified high school graduates through grants to colleges and universities. They won their first tourna- ment and went on to add many more trophies to their collection before the year was over. In the District Debate contest this year, Law- rence nosed out Shawnee-Mission for second place behind Topeka, and went on to the state festival. Once again, the Trojans presented a jinx as Lawrence came within one speaker point and one decision of winning the state first- place award. In the deciding debate, the Law- rence negative lost to the Topeka affirmative on a split decision, and the Lions had to settle for second, still a notable achievement. Raymond Pippert, as second negative speaker, was a returnee from last year’s district team and made his mark of the year by taking third place in the Topeka Invitational Tournament along with John Brown. His place on the negative team represented a change from last year’s affirmative stand. Alan Coombs, first negative speak- er, began the season by winning die Fort Scott tournament with Ray Nichols. He held the same position on the state squad that he held on last year's district contingent and was primarily concerned with building up pressure during the rebuttal portion of each debate. Coach Victor Capper has a pleased look on his face as he paces back and forth in front of a door--a pastime all debate coaches engage in at one time or another. This year was the second out of the last three when one of his teams took second in the State Tournament, the other being in 1954 when he was at Atchison High School. Debate over, Mr. Capper’s squad turned to individual speech work, and, for the second time in two years, won first in the state, taking the mythical state championship.
