In this, the 1955 edition of The Mirage, the staff is portraying school life as a laboratory scien- tist might see it. The faculty represents scien- tists who control reaction, class- es, the elementsg students, the atoms, basic material for modi- fication. ln scientific experiments, com pounds united give off energy. ln school life, organizations, such as clubs and' sports, likewise produce energy both potential and kinetic. Behind all this is a catalist, in L. H. S., that intangible, 3bStI'3Ct thing, school spirit. .J .2 .

Metcalf, Myrna Persing, At the first of the year the staff took a trip to Pratt to attend a journalism conference sponsored by the Kansas High School Activities Association. On the way the faithful old bus broke down out on a lonely hill side. But the cal- amity was soon overcome, and the staff was soon on its way. After the trip they resumed their year's work. The staff has spent many hours taking pictures, writing copy, and pasting up the final pages. And, after much fun, many errors, and some lost sleep, the staff and its sponsor, Miss Agnes Arrington, has proudly brought you this memorandum of your days in Liberal High during 1954-55. if .f 1 Q Ag 3 4 A X A 1 xt X Q K ,Q : in li ' .f an Q Instructor Betty Ingland, R.N. , Nancy Smith, lla Faye Jackson, Myrna Persing, Ann Wares, Betty Oblander, Marva Hughes, Superintendent Nancy Murphy, Caroline Harkins, Kayann Hill, HOSPITAL AIDES amine ed emu Headed by an active and able council, the Junior Red Cross completed many worthwhile tasks during 1954-55.

E. Malin is one of Liberal High School's service clubs. To serve in an administrative capacity is not the purpose of the Council but rather its objective is to represent student opinion and student thinking on matters that are for the general improvement of the high school. The Council tries to remedy certain situations in which student welfare is involved and seeks to clear up misunderstandings such as of rulings, of administrative plans, and of student programs which may arise throughout the year. The Council annually sponsors the homecoming ceremonies, which include the selection of a football queen, and it tries to make adjustment easier for students new to Liberal High School. The Council's membership includes four seniors, five juniors, five sophomores, four freshmen, and one student who serves as a representative of the new students. President of the Council in 1954- 55 was Carlos Frey, and the secretary was Mary Pat Wortham. Officers confer with sponsor, Seniors pass on hints for next year ml 'fi H -i 1024.

The 1954-55 basketball season opened with four returning lettermen--Denny Paysinger, John Hopkins, Bob Oblander, and Alan Forker. Also nine new boys came up from the Warrior and Papoose teams, giving Coach Jackson a good group with which to build his team. Three seniors, six jun- iors, and three sophomores made the A-team. The boys de- veloped well during the season and looked exceptionally good in competitive games. The Redskins participated in two tournaments during the season. The first was the Invitational Tournament held at Liberal. ln this, the Redskins reached the finals by beating St. Mary's and Meade but finished second in the tournament by losing to a highly-favored Pratt team. The other was the District Tournament held at Liberal. The Redskins got to the finals by downing Hugotong however they lost to Ulysses in the finals and came out second, but this made the Liberal team eligible to go to the Regional Tournament held at Larned on March 10 and ll. The Redskins finished their season by losing two games in the Regional Tournament, making their record ll wins and 12 defeats. This was the first time in four years a team from Liberal had gone to a Regional Tournament.

The play gave a picture ofthe trials and tribula- tions of a new high school drama instruc tor and her first big assignment. Under the direction of drama coach, John Smith, the play was an astounding suc- cess. All ends well, even with drama coach. i + iff I1 P' Y .an The entire cast as hillbillies in log cabin setting. 'dew fgfzeaminn PLAY SYNOPSIS The juniors scored a major triumph in their class play, The Campbells Are Coming. Touches of comedy in stage business, lines well pointed by skillful interpretation, and variety in characterization told of hard work be- hind the finished product. The fact that no one player was starred above all others kept the play interesting as did the hilarious and highly ridiculous plot. Praise goes to John A. Smith, speech teacher, for his skillful coach- ing that made the cast come alive and move through their roles with just the light touch demanded by the plot. Ma Campbell brandishes her shot gun.
