A second home in our lives, it has taught us. among other things, to work and play to- gether in amity, an ability much needed in a democratic country. Although most of us have, at times, bewailed our hard lot. we know that soon the reasons for complaint will have faded into the Land of Has-Been and its pleasant memories will remain in the treasure chests of our minds, We pub- lish this June Bug in the hope that when you read it in days not too distant, it will unlock the abode of your dreams and memories, and cause you eagerly to dust them off, reminiscing of your -high school, your teachers, and your friends. i-1 .,xf, ,Q ,i r N i 1- ' .J J L L, Q03 W YL 1 I v dj . , M I X or va R ' . 5' .' .

Although the valedictorian and salutatorian for several years were elected from the ten highest-rank- ing' seniors by their classmates, the method for the last two years has been that of alloting' the honor to the two students who have the high- est scholastic average for their four years of high school work. This year the two contestants have ex- actly the same number of A's. Senior Class Officers Co-Valedictoi-ian RITA SWEARINGEN I jk,,4JJ 'fifth-ff'4 ' I ,' W . Q ,Axf,J V . V1 'T .

Biography of the Senior Class In September, '43, a small band of frankly scared little freshmen filed in awe and trembling through. the mighty portals of LHS and began their high school careers under the sponsorship of Miss Eva Watson, Miss Jean Robertson, and Mr. Floyd Motley. Soon after the start of the! school year, this new and very young class elected to put their few affairs of state in the hands of president, Bill Baird, and vice-president. George Medill. As the fall of '44 arrived, the former ninth graders of Junior High found themselves once again at the bottom of the ladder, this time as sophomores, joining the now ex- perienced freshmen of the year before. As class officrs, Lee Vogel and Bill Edwards were chosen president and vice-president. Miss Elizabeth Reardon, Miss Jane Cleavinger, Miss Esther Benedict, Miss Mary Belle Oldridge and Mr. Clyde Johnson had the duty of keeping the large class on the right path. At the start .of the football season, many of the unwary found themselves initiated into the ancient and honorable order of candy sellers under the experienced direction of Miss Reardon. Profits derived from this project were used to purchase war bonds. At last the class were upper classmen and up-and-coming juniors. Miss Dorothy Crane, Miss Annie Murdock, Miss Amalie Ramseyer, and Mr. Leroy Davison guided them successfully in their activities, while the gubernatorial duties of the class were handed to Dan Reilly, presidentg Carolyn Weigand, vice-presidentg Bernard Duffin, L-ee Vogel, Jane Moderhak, and Esther Williams, cabinet members. After many hours of hard effective practice, The Ghost Flies South was presented as the junior play- of 1946 on March 15, under the direction of Mrs. Minnie Murdock. The proceeds provided the class a better than usual start toward their June Bug of the next year. On May 8, the seniors were feted and fed by the juniors in the annual Junior-Senior Banquet-Prom, the bright theme of which was taken from the gay nineties. Seniors, and on top at last! The class of '47 had but one swift school year to go before graduating into a hurried post-war world. Bill Baird and Ruth Williams were elected president and vice-president, respectively, for this year of their class, and cabinet members were Carolyn Weigand, Dorothy Baldwin, Betty Lou Robertson, Bill Edwards, Gary Robbins, and Derwin Anderson. Senior class sponsors were Miss Mary Mickey, Miss Iona Mettlen'and Mrs. Minniemae Maier. Of the six cheerleaders for this year, three were seniors: Gair Sloan, Betty Lou Robertson, and Bob Ricketson. When the football queen was elected by the team on Novmber 6, Betty Lou Robertson was honored with the coveted title. Her two attendants were Carolyn Weigand and Janie Robbins. It seemed that the class was fated to succeed financially, and even in a few cases to surpass the record of the class of 446 which had in its turn, broken the records of the year before. The senior play, Headed for Eden, turned out to be one of the record breakers when, after being presented to a capacity audience on the nights of both December 5 and 6, it collected 5256.95 net profits. The class owes its appreciation and gratitude to Mrs. Minniemae Maier, directorg Mrs. Anna LaShelle, assistant director, and Miss Maryl Mickey, financial advisor. For the Pepsi-Cola Scholarship test, held on Valentines Day, seven high-ranking seniors were chosen. They were Bill Baird, Margherita Baker, Roy Knapp, Charles Lloan, Gary Robbins, Stanton Rosenberg, and Rita Swearingen. In a lively ninety minutes on the afternoon of February 18, a crowd of delighted students and parents sat in on the June Bug Jamboree of 1947, in which 33 assorted seniors and three underclassmen, with tongue in cheek, presented a varied series of short skits and solos. The results were an hilarious time for all, including the participants, and S70 toward the publication of the book you are now reading. For the Summerfield scholarship candidates three senior boys, Gary Robbins, Stanton Rosenburg, and Don Sieben, were chosen on the basis of grades they had received and their scholarship in high school for the last three and one-half years. Candidates for the Quill and Scroll International Honorary Society of High School Journalism were Margherita Baker, Lorraine Ferment, and Carolyn' Weigand, special editorsg Mary Bolsenga, feature editorg and Shirley Constantos, associate editor. As the ROTC Cadet Hop moved to a prominent place in the minds of men, and women. elections for Battalion Sponsor, who is also Queen of the Hop, and her attendants, were held, The coveted honor of Queen was won by Shirley Constantos. Complementing the battalions choice of sponsor were Dorothy Baldwin, Betty Lou Robertson, and Patti Colter, queen's attendants, elected by companies A, B, and C, respectively. April 10, arrived and the ROTC Hop with it. Officers received promotions and the Queen, her attendants surrounding her, became the center of the annual ceremony. In May the students were honored by the juniors in the Junior-Senior Prom-Banquet, To the class of '47, the finale of their four memorable years of high school education came with the Cap and Gown Assembly, May 235 Baccalaureate, May 255 and Commence- ment Exercises, May 27.

As Juniors we look back over the last three years and find that we have succeeded in our endeavor to carry out the purposes of LHS. Many happy experiences have been crowded into our treasure chest of memories. In the autumn of 1944, we hopeful young students entered Leavenworth Senior High School with great anticipation for the future, but found things quite dif- ferent from the schools from whence we came: teachers, subjects, methods of learning and numerous adventures -ah yes! ! In our first class election Arthur Kaaz was voted president: John Willhardt vice-president: and Allen Brown, Margarette Orlowski, Philip Thorn, and Dolores Rush, cabinet members. Aiding us in our first activities were Miss Jean Robertson, Miss Eva Watson, and Mr. Floyd Motley. Our class has always been outstanding for the num- ber of activities, both athletic and musical into which we entered. Even as freshmen we were well represented on both the football and basketball teams. The next fall our class reconvened and we rejoiced that we were no longer freshmen. Our friends from Junior High School joined us and became our fellow classmates under the leadership of Louise Tate, Lyle Highfill, Rita Kirkpatrick, Phyllis Hane, Walter Rast, and Dick Hahn. We ushered in the football season by selling candy at the games. The profits were used for a memorial plaque bearing the names of those from Leavenworth Senior High School who had sacrificed their lives in World War II. Sponsors this year were Miss Elizabeth Reardon, Mrs. Esther Patterson, and Mr. Clyde Johnson. In 1946, we became aware of our responsibilities as upperclassmen and participated in many more of the school affairs and organizations. To guide us through such an important year we chose Bill Hindahl, president: Joan Wienke, vice-president: and Bill Dean, Phyllis Hane, Lyle Highfill and Rita Kirkpatrick, cabinet mem- bers. Of great assistance to the class and its officers were Miss Elizabeth Reardon, Miss Annie Murdock, Miss Amalie Ramseyer, and Mr. Leroy Davison, sponsors, Also We gave this year a play Spring Green, equal in merit to preceding plays presented by other classes. There were four junior boys who lettered: on the football team, two girls, Janie Robbins and Shirley Beebe were cheerleadersg and, moreover, Janie Robbins was elected attendant to the football queen. SOPHOMORE HISTORY. . . The sophomore class marches on! The activities of the 178 students of our class give evidence that we have the material to do things. In the field of sports we have six lettermen, one of whom, Don Ricketson, rates a manager's letter. We are also proud of Ruth Ann Dryden, one of the best cheerleaders of LHS, we'd say. The class as a whole has shown a wealth of interest by attending the games and giving their support to all school events. Although we did not present a play of our own, Earl Jones ren- dered musical talent to the seniors for the June Bug Jamboree, and Bill Hampton appeared in the Junior Play. Bill didn't have a speaking part, but these con- tributions prove that our class is practically indispensible to school activities. Through our efforts, candy and hot dogs were avail- able to spectators attending the football games of the season. We cleared about S180 on these sales, which will be used to buy a gift for the entire school. On the more serious side, we have our studies and school duties to engross us. With our officers, president, Catherine Edmondsong vice-president, Bill Marting secre- tary, Joanne Goodjohng treasurer, Ruth Ann Drydeng and cabinet members, Karl Wikelski, and Merrill Steele, we should be able to promote an example of diligence and earnestness to cooperate that the rest of the school would gladly follow. We would like to thank Miss Ella Larner, Mrs. Minnie Murdock and Mrs. Ruth Rogers, our class sponsors, for the patience and kindness shown to us throughout this year. With the help, guidance, and sincere efforts of our teach- ers and sponsors We hope that we may become what high school training is trying to make of us and that we may truly be the ideals of the freshmen. Nothing would be a greater compliment to us than that in time we may be called dignified seniors. FRESHMAN HISTORY . . . One warm September morning in '46 we crept through the doors of LHS for the first time. The upperclassmen looked upon us as uninteresting infants. From their point of view we were merely Freshies. We were al- ways tormented but little did we care, for were we not thc future sophomores, juniors, and seniors? We elected as officers for the year, president, Char- lotte Orlowskig vice-president, Barbara Johnsong and cabinet members, Patrica Hund, Ruth Vogel, Robert Beal, and David Jurgens. Even though the end of the year will mean that good-byes must be said to our graduating seniors, we look forward to the day when our ranks will be swelled by the influx of the freshmen coming to us from Junior High School. Then, instead of being at the foot of the scale in size, we will probably be the largest class in LHS.

Miss Larner, Spanishg Miss Faller, physical educa- tion, Mrs, LaShelle, biologyg Mr. Griffith, musicg Lt. Col. McDonald, ROTC3 and Mr. Mullen as head coach, were the replacements on the LHS faculty. Since September is usually the month for school elections, all class officers were chosen. The elected cheerleaders were Betty Lou Robertson, Janie Robbins, Ruth Ann Dryden, Shirley Beebe, Gair Sloan, and Bob Ricketson. Yea team! Themost fashionable day of the year was September 26, when fifty-two new members were initiated into the Pep Club. OCTOBER Ye cannot rival for one hour October's bright blue weather. Leading the list for special assemblies was Mr. Elzie Bown, the nationally renowned mental wizard His memory would be a mighty convenient gadget in at math test. NOVEIVIBER Opening the month of November, the faculty at- tended the State Teachers' Convention. An extra day was added to the week end. We needed it. Betty Lou Robertson, Homecoming Queen, and at- tendants, Carolyn Weigand and Janie Robbins, were presented at the annual Atchison-Leavenworth football game. We won again. Turkey with all the trimmings was enjoyed as well as those extra days for Thanksgiving holidays. The Pil- grims should have e.stablished the custom at more frequent intervals. Once a year isn't enough. DECEMBER Deep sea diver here. A most interesting assembly was presented by Captain Art Hook. Headed for Eden the senior class play, for two consecutive nights was played before the largest audience ever recorded at the LHS box office. The 1947 Tag Day results broke all preceding records in spite of the bad weather. Goodfellows' efforts were doubly repaid. Well done! Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men, the music festival, was presented by various music groups from all public schools. Yipee! A long Christmas Vacation. Wish it came every other week, JANUARY Resolutions made! Back to the ole grind on January 6. Football banquet honoring the squad. First semester ends. No tears shed. That much out of the way! Atch- ison was host to LHS in the annual exchange assembly. Girls' ensemble, Boys' Chorus and soloists participated from LHS. Resolutions broken! FEBRUARY A short month. Oh joy! ! Songs from the Canc- brakes of Louisina, from the cotton fields of Georgia, the levees of Mississippi and the tobacco fields of Virginia were presented by the Plantation Singers in a special evening assembly. Olathe brought the first exchange assembly to Leav- enworth. The height of the ridiculous was reached in the June Bug Jamboree on Valentinets Day. Wild life at night, wild animal life that is, was brought to LHS by the ace cameraman, Howard. Cleaves. MARCH , I I - I Spring was sprung and with it spring fever victims. Influenza claimed some victims, too. The Regional Tour- nament was held in Topeka on March 5, 6, 7, and 8. Once again the band held its annual concert. Whistle while you work. Instead of whistling while he performed his program, Donald Scott-Morrison presented a con- versational plano concert. And came Spring Greent' the play telling of men, children, and earth worms. The juniors broke a junior class precedent by giving their play on two consecutive nights instead of one. Career Day-another pre-war custom resumed. Thirty-two professional men and women discussed various vocations for LHS students. APRIL Easter, at last, another vacation. A super week end with all our bunnies, bonnets, and finery. Some eggs, too. Once again all musical talent went to K. U. The Annual Music Contest was resumed. The traditional Cadet Hop was held on April 10. Shirley Constantos, queen, sponsored the battalion. Dorothy Baldwin, Betty Lou Robertson, and Patti Colter acted as company sponsors. Town meeting, sponsored by AAUW and the City Teachers Organization, discussed How Can We Save Our Civilization. PanfAmerican Day was observed with all Spanish airs. April proved to be a busy month in regard to ex- change assemblies.

I ,:::,5.E:::E DAN REILLY GEORGE MEDILL Fifty-four The 1946 edition of the Leavenworth High School football team got off to a flying start by defeating the Washington Rural Wildcats 14-9. Since it was the first of the season, the Pioneers were a bit rusty. Reu, Reilly, Medill, and Vogel showed up well. The Blue and White boys began the Turner game as fourteen point underdogs, according to predictions, but finished on the long end of a 32-0 score. Leavenworth showed a powerful line, good blocking, and an excellent display of backfield talent. LHS .suffered its first '46 defeat at the hands of Wyandotte's battling Bulldogs, 19-7. The Kansas City gridsters journeyed to Leavenwortlrs Abeles Field expecting an easy victory, but found a hard fight awaiting them. The Pioneers unleashed a hard-to-stop passing attack. The Pioneers journeyed to Argentine for a 7-6 victory, giving them three wins in four starts. After trailing the Mustangs for almost all of the first half, Medill going around his own left for 30 yards. put one across and Bodde, end, caught the pass for the deciding point. Traveling to Leavenworth for their annual strug- gle with the Pioneers, the Lawrence Lions, State Champs, found a stubborn, aggressive team, and narrowly edged them out with a score of 12-7. Law- rence blocked a blue and white punt in the end zone and recovered it for the winning touchdown. LHS encountered more than they expected with the Olathe Eagles, The Pioneers relaxed for an easy night, but tensed again to give all to edge out the Eagles 14-6. Anderson, speedy halfback, ac- counted for both touchdowns. Shawnee Mission arrived in Leavenworth to sweep the Pioneers off their feet to the tune of 37-18, No excuse is offered except that the Mission boys were powerful. Nevertheless, George Medill high- lighted the season with his 98-yard run for a touch- down in this game. Smarting from the SM defeat, the Pioneers were still off during the Rosedale tussle, 14-0, Rosedale's favor. LHS fought valiantly but couldn't get start- ed. Trampling Atchison by a 25-0 count was the outcome of the Pioneer Home-coming game. This was the eighth consecutive Redmen scalp for Leav- enworth. The '46 team elected Dan Reilly, guard, and George Medill, fullback, as honorary co-captains. Both boys were seniors and returned from last year's season. Lee Vogel, quarterback, from the Pioneer eleven, was chosen for the NEKL All-Star Squad. George Medill, fullback, Bob Reu, end, and Ernie Crown- over, center, were chosen to represent Leavenworth on the second team. 1-The Queen Rides By. 2-Night Before the Scalping. 3-Twins. 4-Bud. 5-The Big Boys. 6-Capt.

LHS-WASHINGTON RURAL Friday, December 13, was a lucky day for the Pio- neers as they defeated Washington Rural in the first league game of the season by a comfortable margin.

Chalking up the score were high point men Medill, and Vogel, respectively forward and guard for the Pioneer squad. Leading the Indians was Hoch- stadler, a forward on the St. Joe machine. LHS-TURNER Pounding a score of 28-20 from the Turner Bears was a hard job as the Pioneers learned when Turner visited LHS. Holding a tight' lead, the Pioneers gained a three point lead as the first half ended 9-6. When the third frame rolled around, the Turner Bears captured the lead twice and pulled within striking position of one point twice as the third quarter ended 17-15, Pioneers leading. As the fourth frame started the Pioneers were de- termined to win the game as they chalked up 8 points to 4 points scored by the Bears. In the remaining seconds Highfill flipped the sphere through the netting for another field goal and the game ended 28-20. LHS-LAWRENCE For the first time in the season, the Pioneers suf- fered a score 42-23 which spelled defeat, The powerful Lawrence Lions, defending champions of the NEK League, tore open the first quarter of the game by the score of 12-3 and at the half 20-11. Un- shalzen the Pioneers gradually raised their score through the last half by 12 points to Lawrence's 22 points. Al- though the Pioneers were defeated, the showing of great sportsmanship and skill throughout the entire game was accredited to the players of both teams. LHS-OLATHE In the first encounter with the Olathe Eagles, the Pioneers downed the Eagles by the score of 34-25. This was a great game which brought out all the skill and ingenuity that both teams could muster. Sports- manship was shown in the reactions of the teams against one another and among themselves. This was the fourth victory in five starts for the Blue and White men. Wyrick and Reu were high point men for the Blue and White with 11 and 10 points respectively. LHS-ROSEDALE When Ole LHS met the Rosedale Wildcats, they proved their worth as they tore the hide off the Wildcats to reveal the score of 43-25. Leavenworth led throughout the entire game as the first half score was 22-13 and the last half ended 43-25, the Wildcats taking the beating. LHS-ATCHISON Atchison, Pioneers' arch enemy, met with defeat when the LHS squad downed them with-a score of 32-26.

Bob Reu, co-captain co-coptain but the score was tied, untied, knotted, and untied again four times during the first half as the score read 16-15, Atchison holding the lead. During the second half, Wyrick exploded and made four successive goals which placed him top pointer for the Pioneer cinco. As the last few seconds rolled round, Atchison sank a basket which, at this time, put the score of 32-26 on the board with the LHS squad grinding out the lead. LHS-ARGENTINE Defeating the Pioneers, the Argentine Mustangs rack- ed up a score of 41-31. This defeat put the Leavenworth glow-boys in the fourth slot of the NEK League. Start- ing fast, the Pioneers, led by Highfill, Reu, and Wyrick, slashed out a score of 19-16 at the end of the first half. During the third quarter, Bob Reu was sent out of the game on fouls and the Pioneers started to slip as the quarter ended 31-26 with the Mustangs leading the parade. In the fourth frame, Crownover injured his ankle and Wyrick fouled out. The Mustangs then knocked off 10 points to LHS's 5 points and the dual ended 41-31. LHS-SHAWNEE MISSION Leavenworth's squad met the SMHS Indians at Shawnee Mission gymnasium, January 25. The LHS men proved to all concerned that the Pioneers were not to be tangled with as they held the lead tlroughout the entire game except for two tieups, one during the third quarter with the score reading 20-205 then the Mustangs again dropped behind with a Pioneer basket. Tying the score with a Mustang basket with the score reading 22-22, and minute seconds remaining in the game, a Mustang center swooped down for a basket. This slight lead also proved to be the undoing of the Pioneers and the winning factor of the game as the final score read 24-22. ' LHS-LAWRENCE The Blue and White against the Lawrence Lions in their second combat proved to be almost a repetition of Fifty-seven the first bout as the scoreboard read 44-39. In the tussle the Pioneers played an exceedingly hard and fast ball game although threatened several times, and not until the last quarter were they able to pull away from the striking point by the baskets made by Lawrence. High point men for the Pioneers were Wyrick and Highfill with 15 and 8 points respectively. ' LHS-WESTPORT When the Westport men fought the Pioneers on the LHS gymnasium, they tromped the Pioneers with a 52-32 beating. Westport boasts a 6' 7 center and a flashy forward of 6' 5 , The tallest man on the Pioneer squad is Wyrick with 6' 3 to his credit.

High point men for the Pioneer squad were Wyrick and Reu with 7 points each to their credit. Westport's sparkplug was Corly with a 12 point record. LHS-WASHINGTON RURAL Defeating the Wildcats for the second time of the season made the Pioneers another win by the juicy score of 43-34. The Wildcats played a hard and swift game against the Pioneers, but their shots seemed to have bad luck as they failed to bucket every shot. The Pioneers played a good game and with strategy and precision made many of their shots count. High point man for the Pioneers was Anderson with 15 points chalked up. The sparkplug for the Wildcats was Rodgers with 11 points, LHS-OLATHE Shaving-off slowly, the Pioneers finally started click- ing during the second quarter and led the rest of the game.

LHS-ATCHISON g In the .second encounter with the Atchison Redmen. the arch rivals were tied at the end of the regular game. With eight seconds to go in the game, Derwin Anderson was fouled and he missed both free throws, but Bob Reu, center for the Pioneers, tipped in the sphere and tied the score 22-22. In the ensuing overtime play, High- Vfill scooped in for two points and after stalling for time, Steve Deere from the corner of the court parted the net- ting for another two points which upped the final score to 26-22 as the overtime bell was heard. LHS-ARGENTINE Subject to tough luck , the Pioneers suffered a great defeat to the Argentine Mustangs as the final score of the game read 39-12. The skirmish was fought relentlessly by the Pioneer five as the Mustangs had gained a 16-0 lead over them. Midway in the second quarter the Pioneers started scor- ing with two baskets and a charity toss. The first half ended 5-19 with the Blue and White trailing. At the start of the fourth period the score stood 25-5 and when the final bell sounded, the score read 39-12 as LHS had knocked off 7 points to Argentine's 15. I ,ps in LHS-TURNER Turner, turning the tables on the Pioneers, edged out the Blue and White men in the second court game clash with the score of 32-30. Holding the Bears down with almost an even score throughout the entire game, the Pioneers lead the losing element when the half time score read 16-15. The sec- ond half was taken up in exchange of points and as the last few seconds rolled 'round the Pioneer quinque was desperately trying to flip the sphere into the strings, but the final bell sounded and the Turner Bears were vic- torious by a count of 32-30. LHS-SHAWNEE MISSION Ending the NEK League tournament this year was the game in which the Pioneers opposed the Indians from Shawnee Mission. At the end of the first frame, the Indians led 11-7 and the score at the half was 19-6. In the second frame the Pioneers had tied the score at 11 points but the Red- skins pulled away with 8 points to LHS' 5 points. Clinching the victory and also the NEKL crown in the third quarter, the Redmen copped 11 points to the Pioneers' 5 points which were scored for LHS by Wyrick, Rue, and Highfill. Falling short in the last frame the Royal Blue and White men gained 12 points to the Black and Red 7 points. The score at the final bell totaled 37-33 giving the SMHS boys the great crown of the NEKL tourna- ment. Leavenworth held fourth place in this year's race. NORTHEAST KANSAS LEAGUE - FIRST HALF W.

Sixty 1F To the Lads of LHS If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blam- ing it on you: If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, And make allowance for their doubting toog If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good nor talk too wise. If you can dream-and not make dreams your masterg If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim: If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat these two impos- tors just the sameg If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken And .stoop and build them up with worn-out tools. If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your lossy If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long aft- er they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: Hold on! H1 If you can walk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much: If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and every- thing that's in it, And-what is more-you'll be a Man, my son! -Rudyard Kipling Sixty-one Choice Morsels W'e'll Miss Most: Asssembly movies. Basketball mixers with orchestras. D Worrying about grade cards and RO promotlons. Griping over assignments. Hearing about the new steadies . Seeing our boys on the basketball court. Schening for a date to the prom. Making bets on the Colonel . First hour stupors. Seeing books accidentally fall out the windows. Knocking the Patriot , Hearing about the evils of snow balling. 'Beautifullyt' dirty saddle shoes. Being reprimanded for conduct in assembly. The fad of peroxide streaks, Class politics. Myself I have to live with myself and so I want to be fit for myself to know. I want to be able, as days go by, Always to look myself straight in the eyeg I don't want to stand with the setting sun, And hate myself for the things I've done. I want to go out with my head erectg I want to deserve all people's respect: But here in the struggle for fame and pelf I want to be able to like myself. I won't want to look at myself and know That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show. I never can hide myself from meg I see what others may never Seeg I never can fool myself, and so, Whatever happens, I want to be Self-respecting and conscience free. -From Boston News Remember the Day When: A little goat graced the halls of LHS? The Senior English Class put on the Argentine- Leavenworth pep assembly? The first announcements were given over the inter- communication system? The Goodfellows collected 3725? The Junior Class presented Spring Green for two nights? Fortunates were inltiated into Pep Club? 'Sadie Hawkins Day was celebrated by a back- wards party in the S. H.? The football squad forgot to buy flowers for the presentation of their queen and her attendants? The halls were free from trash because visitors were present for Career Day ? Alva Matzedar's quintet won first place in the intramural boys' basketball? An arm went through a door pane in a cafeteria rush? The chorus line performed at the June Bug Jamboreeu? The night of the Junior-Senior Prom finally ar- rived? The Peruvians ,entered school? The boys gazed at the girls basketball tournaments and exfaimed. Gee, they got legs! Senior English studes were heard singing The Rime of the Ancient Mariner to the tune of t'Some- where Over the Rainbowu? IF FOR GIRLS To the Lasses of LHS If you can hear the whisper- ing about you And never yield to deal in whispers toog If you can bravely smile when loved ones doubt you, And never doubt, in tm'n, what loved ones dog If you can keep a sweet and gentle spirit In spite of fame or fortune, rank or place, And though you win your goal or only near it, Can win with poise or lose with equal grace: If you can meet with unbelief, believing, And hallow in your heart, a simple creed, If you can meet deception, undeceiving, And learn to look to God for all you need: If you can be what girls should be to mothers- Chums in joy and comrades in distress: And be unto others as you'd have the others Be unto you-no more, and yet no less. If you can keep within your heart the power To say that firm, uncon- querable Nong If you can brave a present shadowed hour, Rather than yield to build a future woeg If you can love, yet not let loving master, But keep yourself within your own self's clasp, And not let dreaming lead you to disaster Nor pity's fascination loose your grasp. If you can lock your heart on confidences Nor ever needlessly in turn confide 3 If you can put behind you all pretenses Of mock humility or foolish pride, If you can keep the simple homely virtue Of walking right with God- then have no fear That anything in all the world can hurt you- And-which is more-you'll be a Woman, Dear. -Elizabeth Lincoln Otis T w J l l .4 1: o TC l 1 W- , A Shirley Constantos, Battalion Sponsor: Patti Colter, Company C Sponsor: Betty Lou Robertson.

EIGHTY-TWO YEARS OF HISTORY Leavenworth Senior High School was founded eighty- two years ago, in 1865. Mr. H. D. McCarty served as both principal and faculty. Sixty-four students enrolled at the beginning of the year but fifty-four were expended before the end of the year. There were no entrance requirements for the sixty-four students who were enroll- ed the first year, and consequently none of the students were graduated. , In 1867, Mr. Mcvicar came from the East to serve as school superintendentg Mr. McCarty remained. Mr. Mc- Vicar introduced new methods of teaching and grading, and a system of classifying the pupils on the basis of examinations, parents signified their disapproval. As a result, kMr. P. J. Carmichael became principal and Mr. P. J. Williams, superintendent. In 1868, the Morris School, the finest building west of St. Louis, was completed. Soon afterward the seventy pupils and two faculty members of LHS moved in and occupied the fourth floor. On June 30, 1871, the first graduating class of Leav- enworth and of the state of Kansas, four LHS students, received their diplomas. In 1875, a student body of 230 demanded larger quar- ters. Therefore the students moved into the Oak Street School where all of the classes were conducted assembly fashion in the same room. The Board of Education purchased and remodeled the Westminster Church in 1886. At this same time the first successful law requiring entrance examinations was passed. All of the pupils were gathered in one roomy while one group recited the rest had a study period. Since the enrollment was on the increase, this plan began to prove inadequate. It was not until 1891 that separate class rooms were made, and the assembly type of studying was abandoned. From 1878 to 1905 a tuition fee of ten dollars a year for non-residents was charged. Sixty-five History of LHS After moving from place to place for almost forty years LHS finally had a school of its own when Leaven- worth Senior High School was erected at its present site in 1904. But even the new building soon proved too small, and in 1913 two new wings were added. Constructive, uneventful years rolled by until the bitter, cold night of January 29, 1932, when fire destroyed the entire school. To add to the loss, an irreplacable library of seven thousand volumes was destroyed. Ath- letic equipment, furniture, and laboratory fittings were also consumed. The Citizens of Leavenworth promptly subscribed bonds for the construction of a 8181,000 school. While the new building was under construction, the students of LHS had afternoon classes in the Junior High build- ing, and the Junior High pupils attended school in the morning. The present LHS building is of the English Renais- sance style. It was designed by Feth and Hazelwood, Leavenworth architects in association with architects Felt, Dunham, and Kriehn of Kansas City, Missouri. The three story building has a capacity of 800 students. The gymnasium is capable of seating 1,000 spectators in such a way that the audience can see equally well from any section of the room. PRESENT BUILDING ENTERED On March 30, 1933, the new building was completed and the Senior High students returned to a building of their own. Leavenworth High School has belonged to the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools continuously since 1906. The courses offered are College Preparatory, Commercial, General, and Practical Arts. Leavenworth High School has grown from its hum- ble beginning, a class of sixty-four and a faculty of one, to become at the present date a school of more than five hundred students and a faculty of twenty-five. Both the students and teachers know that the futures of them- selves and their school are hopeful and promising. The past is prologue. With the history of progress LHS has, how can the future be other than bright? in l.J Random Shots 417-Our South American Neighbors, C25-A St?tch in Time, 131-Toothless Bill Hampton. 141-- When We Were Young and Gay. f5J-Bored With Life? ? 167-Band Blowing Off. 675-Baby Barr. r8r-The A11-Stars. 195-The Pra.nkste1's, 1105-A Latin Translation.
