The Board decides such problems as the raising of public school revenue, building programs maintenance of buildings and equipment purchase of supplies and the selection of a well-trained faculty. NVe can truthfully say that the Lawrence Board of Education has done a magnificent job in this capa- city. The group consists of the following members: President, Lloyd Purcell, Vice- President, Paul B. Lawson, Dr. Theodore Aszman, F. C. Whipple, Lloyd Houston, and W. H. Quackenbush. Mrs. W. A. Churchill is the Treasurer. She receives the tax money,-and dispenses with it also. Mr. H. L. Sutherland, a familiar person around L.M.H.S., is clerk of the board and the purchasing agent. He keeps record books, makes annual reports, and cares for and insures all buildings and equipment. A national magazine re- cently printed his article on school management. Superintendent C. D. Dean has finished his first year as Superintendent of the Public Schools. His friendliness, his interest in people. and his unusual per- sonality have helped immeasurably to make this a successful year. Principal Neal M. Wherry has direct supervision of the high school, continu- ing to guide our destinies in his usual effective manner. An example of his value to the community is shown by his recent election as Regional Governor of Rotary Internatifnal. Assisting the administration are: Miss Electa Kindlesperger, School nurseg Miss Emma Kretzmann, assistant School nurseg Dr. A. J. Anderson, School phy- siciang and Dr. J. I. Perry, School dentist.

M. H. S. Little do we students realize, sometimes, in our mad rush to and from school, how futile our feeble attempts for learning would be if it were not for the help and en- couragement given us by our teachers. When we do finally awaken to the truth, We discover that the golden opportunity for ex- pressing gratitude has passed. Therefore, the present Senior class dedicates these pages to our teachers, and to them we say, Thanks for everything. -p f 5 Q .A . . s 'Z V I SPANGLER aw., Q. . p ,, . , ,Q E V b xg - - -' 5, ' by V' ' -.

Billy Joe Dill is the chairman of the Assembly Com- mittee, Dean Stoneback has charge of the Social Committee, the Sec- retarial Committee is headegl by Betty June Sullivan, Howard Suth- erland heads the Activity Com- mittee, and Stanley Nelson and Betty Moore command the Publi- city Committee. The Executive Board is a small form of the Council and its func- tions are siuiilar to those of thc Council. The board meets every other Monday, and reports are given by each committee chairman. In these meetings the Executive Board frames legislation for pre- sentation to the council. Business and its order is decided upon for the next meeting. Siacfenl' 6 'l Knock! Knock! Knock! The first meeting of the 1939-40 student council was called to order, and a long line of success- ful projects was begun. One of the most outstanding activities was Lawrence's par- ticipation in the state-Wide meeting of Kansas Student Councils held in Salina March 29-30. Twenty-nine schools and one-hun- dred sixty students took part in this year's convention. Miss Davenport and Mr. Bailey accompanied ten students, Martha Dooley, Betty Liebbrand, Fern Stranathan, Betty Moore, Mabel Baker, Bob White, Billy Joe Dill, Dean Stoneback, Max Falk- enstein, and Stanley Nelson who represented Lawrence. Lawrence took the initiative and proposed to change the Federation's name by an amendment which finally read: This organization shall be called 'The Kansas Association of Student Counils.' This amendment was adopted. Another of the worth while and very successful projects was the Student Council Shoe Fund. A goal of fifty dollars was set, but the drive was so successful that slightly over fifty-nine dollars was raised. Added to that several pairs of shoes and galoshes were donated to the fund by the students. The traffic in the halls and on steps was changed from a Pardon me to a Thank you.'l The Council put in a plan of traffic flow. The students were instructed to keep to the right in the halls. The north half of each section of stairs was desig- nated for down-flowing traffic, the south half for up-going traffic. Also, in passing an amendment to the constitution which stated that all members should have an HM average and no grade of HF , the council settled a long disputed question be- tween the constitution and the point system. The former stated that an M average was required for council membership, and the latter required all M's or better. The second amendment was that, in case of vacancy in the office of president, vice president or secretary, the office would be filled by vote of two-thirds of the council. The council is composed of thirty-one representatives, one from each advisory group, and seven members on the executive board. The ofhces of president, vice-president, secretary of the council, and a representative-at-large from each class comprise the executive board. Each member of the executive board heads a committee.

During the four years this outstanding body has been in Liberty Memorial High School, they have shown active leadership in classes and activities all of which have helped the school in many ways. The outstanding quality of this Senior class is shown by the fact that four of the six entrants for Summerfield Scholarship were invited to the finals. This year Maurice Abele, Dick Keene, Garland Landrith, Thornton McClanahan, Arthur Nelson and Clifford Reynolds represented L. M. H. S. in the preliminaries, the last four returned for finals. This year scholarships were offered for girls. Jane Ansdell, Vivian McBeth, Ida Fran- ces Moyer, Harriet Ojers, Eva Rhea Skinner, and Junie Sutherland represented LMHS for these scholarships. The Seniors show executive ability, too. Even the august body, the Student Council, commonly OFFICERS: Back row, left to right. Miller. Sutherland, Stoneback Front row, left tu right: Cole, Keene Seniafut known as the Supreme Court has Senior representatives, name- ly Betty June Sullivan as Secretary and Dean Stoneback as Senior Representative. Way back when this Senior Class were mere freshmen, some even so young they were not ashamed to A seen crying when they stubbed their toe, the names of Alan 'Fisher as President, Reed Whetstone, Vice President, Dean Stoneback as Treasurer, Harriet Ojers, Secretary, and Betty opp, Representative, constituted the officers of the class. 'Then as they outgrew pinafores and were spoken of as Sopho- mores, the ofiicers were: P1'esident, Maurice Abeleg Vice-Presi- dent, Dean Stonebackg Treasurer, Ida Frances Moyer, Secre- ary, Junie Sutherland, and Representative, Arthur Nelson. WVhen most of the class were cutting their eye teeth and blos- oming out as Juniors, the ofiicers were President, Evelyn Mer- er, Vice President, Arthur Nelson, Treasurer, Jay Collins, ecretary, Caroline Baker, and Representative, Dick Keene. When another year passed and spectacles were being worn by more members of the class because of the many long nights of tudy, the Senior class announced the following names as its 'lass officers: President, Dick Keene, Vice President, Stanley illerg Treasurer, Junie Sutherland, Secretary, Mary E. Cole, nd Representative, Dean Stoneback, Alan Fisher was Hi-Y resident, and Junie Sutherland was elected president of G. R. In sports, the senior boys who have put not only their uscle but their hearts into the game of football are: George oehring, half-back, David Jewel and Maurice Knott, guardsg nd Bill Hormuth, end. George Goehring was ele ted to the 'astern Kansas conference team, an honor enjoyed by the whole chool. Delbert Perkins was also seen plunging through the ines many times. In tossing the elusive sphere into the baskets, the name of eorge Goehring again shines out, and Lee Garizh has given is all toward making the team a power in this district. Bill eber, Dick Keene, Robert Nelson, and Eldon Williams have iven four years of work and play in basketball, and all of them ook back on the experience with the greatest pleasure. The cinder path has held the attention of Eugene Parker, alter Peterson, Bud Herriman, and Harold Lee. To be second lenn Cunninghams has also been the aspirations of Billy Haw- ins, Edwin Burgess, David Jewell, Paul Sims and Elgin oody. As usual, no athletic department is complete without he name of George Goehringg and here it is again. There are some who are not as fleet of foot or quick of and as the athlete, but their minds are given tough work-outs aily in debating and lots of chance for fireworks in tourna- age 13 ments. Garland Landrith, Arthur Nelson, Betty Kopp, and Bill Hough have pitted their wits many times against the keen minds from other schools, and have always come back to Liber- ty Memorial with flying colors. These Seniors are not only adept at plunging the line and tossing the ball into the basket, but also at splashinr the ink 011 the page to the greatest advantage. Quill and Scroll welcomed the following seniors this year: Jane Ansdell, Rosemarie Camp- bell, Mary E. Cole, Irene Flory, Iris Jenkins, Dick Keene, Jo Ann Perry, Bob Wiedemann, Vivian McBeth, Arthur Nelson, Junie Sutherland, Eugene Parker, Calvert Winters, Bill Hough, Shirley Bayles, Alan Fisher, and Betty June Sullivan. Mem- bers from last year are Betty Kopp, Maurice Abele, and Thorn- ton McClanahan. Now that's an array of names to be reckoned with! And this dear old Red and Black has been nursed and pampered along by such seniors as Thornton McClanahan, Ar- thur Nelson, Maurice Abele, Betty Kopp, Vivian McBeLh. and Junie Sutherland. That worthy sheet commonly known as the Budget, has been guided and pushed along by such represent- ative Seniors as Bill Hough, Jean Conger, Lois Craik, Eugene Parker, Warren Harrell, Bill Hormuth, Irene Flory, Dick Keene, Calvert Winter and Bob Wiedemann. Since the play's the thing, our Senior class couldn't over- look that phase of activity. The stars that sparkled in the Junior play, Second Fiddle, were Maurice Abele and Regina Allen most heartily supported on all occasions by Betty Kopp, Harriet Ojers, Vivian McBeth, Reed Whetstone, Ida Frances Moyer, and Thornton McClanahan. Then along came the Hi-Y- G. R. play, Growing Pains. It was good entertainment and the following Seniors helped to make it so: Elizabeth Crafton, Bill Hough, Reed Whetstone, Maurice Abele, Garland Landrith, Clifford Reynolds, Kenneth Lindenberger, Eldred Jones, Mar- ian Bliesner, Iris Jenkins, Betty June Sullivan, Mary E. Cole and Jo Ann Perry. The Senior play was a Henry Aldrich play, What A Life, presenting high school life. Maurice Abele played Henry, the abused one, and Elizabeth Crafton was his sweetheart, Bar- bara. The cast giving hearty support were: Harriet Ojers, Bill Hough, Louis Grifiith, Marian Bliesner, Garland Landrith, Ida Frances Moyer, Junie Sutherland, Kenneth Lindenberger, Iris Jenkins, Thornton McClanahan, Betty Kopp, Reed Whetstone, Helen Skinner, and Stanley Miller. Of course no school can function these days without a band to put life into the athletic events and zip into student body on festive occasions. There are a lot of Seniors who toot a horn, fContinued on Page 572 Page 14 CHESTER BAKER DOROTHY BAKER SHIRLEY BAYLES BETTY BEAL MARI-AN BLIESNER FRANK BLUE JAMES BOYCE DOROTHY BROERS CLIFTON BROWN MAURICE ABELE REGINA ALLEN VIRGINIA ALLEN EDITH ANDERSON MILDRED ANDERSON RUBY ANDERSON JANE ANSDELL WILLIAM ARNOLD CAROLINE BAKER Seniafzd Saziafut RUTH A.

So it is upon you Juniors that the responsibility of maintain- ing the fame of the Lion family devolves. The Class of 1940 have attempted to leave the Lion home in a better condition than they found it. But judging from the leadership of the officers and the outstanding activities of many other juniors, we Seniors expect a splendid record of you Juniors. The Juniors showed their stuff to the entire school in their assembly program which they gave Friday, October 27. Mary Lou Nelson, President of the class, presided and introduced the other officers-Vice-President, Ruthie Russellg Secretary, Eu- genia Green, Treasurer, Mary Lou Elliott, Student Council Representative, Howard Sutherland, and Head Sponsor, Mr. Gillum. The Girls' Trio, composed of Ruth Hill, Helen June Douglas, and Martha Dooley sang Oh, You Crazy Moon and Over the Rainbow . Elgin Woody next sang The Lamp is Low so well that the audience demanded an encore. His en- core was If You Should Ever Leave. Last but far from least, Ted Conley gave a very novel and interesting talk on drums, accompanied with demonstrations which p-roved to be extremely well liked by the audience. Lula Bahnmaier Betty Jane Banning Bonnie Jean Barnes Elizabeth Bigsby Joe Bleakley Jean Boardman Hazel Boerkircher Doris Brewster Catherine Brown Virginia Carter Arthur Cattlett, Jr. Dorothy Cooper Howard Creel, Jr. Kathryn Deihl Billy Joe Dill The dramatic ability of the Junior class was demonstrated in the Junior play June Mad . A Hne performance it was too. Every member of the cast was elected into National Honorary Thespians. These are Susie Mae Wilkerson, Charles Kassinger, Betty Leibbrand, Dan Ragle, Clifford Bates, Eugenia Green, Pauline Reese, Howard Sutherland, Lee Robbins, Dick Dauber- man, Doris Lee Jackson and Gloria Goff. The action of the entire play took place in the living room of the Woods's home in Lynbrook. Looking ahead into next year, we find the following juniors in executive positions in the Hi-Y: Billy Joe Dill, presidentg and Howard Sutherland, secretary. The G. R. elected Betty Liebbrand president, Mary Lo Nelson vice-president, and Jane Miller secretary. Next year we expect to see su-h sport stars as Junius Penny, Billy Stowitts, Gordon Stucker and Carl Hird again. Alice Jean Lemon and Clifford Bates starred on the debat team this year and did exceptionally well. Bill Conboy was o the first team. So the junior class only need look for a fourt to have a full table. Pag r-WN? .s , fi as i as gi Q: Y' as W i fig ia: . V2 ,. . . f J, ' effigy N X. S'-a' .wg-,,,?'.m fx'-lv' if f Lf!

John Mason: Secretary, Jane Miller: Treasurer, Lois Wheeler, and Student Council Representative, Stanley Nelson. Gone are the days of the awkward and clumsy underclass- men. This is 1940 and we are faced with a stream-lined version of a Sophomore. Sophistication is the by-word of our little brothers and sisters. We should be glad that the sophomores have at last grown up: no longer are they noted for the pranks they play, but for the good work which they are doing by coop- erating with the rest of the student body. Cooperation is the key word of the sophomores. Always willing to do their part: on the athletic field, in band, orchestra, glee club and at the school parties. Here is a class which is Will- ing to pull together for the good of the whole school. When one becomes a sophomore he begins to feel more and more a part of the school. The sophomores have no play or prom, but they are expected to put on an assembly some time during the school year. It was one of the b-est assemblies this year. There's real talent to be found among the sophomore class. Sophomores, as a whole, are fairly well satisfied with them- selves. Never-the-less their Junior year and the increased pres- tige which that goal promises, is looked forward to by all.

This class is made up of students who have grad- ated from the eighth grade of the rural schools. This class had charge of Freshman Day, which was held ay 17. They entertained the rural graduates. There were iany activities which took up the day. The general assem- ly began at 8:20 in the auditorium with each person re- eiving his name on a card which was used as an identification ard. Freshmen officers were introduced. The general science lass, gym class, etc., gave demonstrations in their respective elds. The freshmen have all the advantages that the upper lasses have in sports and other school activities. Through reshman Day, the graduates get better acquainted with the eachers and the routine of the school.

S. that reaches all pupils is the Social Studies Department, which for purposes of review we're calling histo1'y. The department is a large one, as it contains our required courses and two optional ones. The studies taken y a typical ,student from the Freshman year through the Sen- 'or, would include the following: In his Freshman year he would be enrolled in Civics, which the study of government and the relationship of the citizens 0 that government. This is a full year subjectg and early in the fear, required foreign correspondence is startrd. This year r. Williams, the teacher, obtained about forty names from n English school teacher in Manchester, England, so 40 Civics upils are corresponding with these English students. World Histo1'y is studied in the Sophomore year. In Miss 'irnst's and Miss Spangler's classes. the pupils make maps of he countries they are studying, and get their first experience n taking notes from class discussion. The Junior year brings American history, with its historical dramas for outside reading. In the first semester large maps are made of the U.S. showing verious territories, purchases, rivers, towns, and boundaries. The second semester, Miss Dav- enport's classes study big industries and her room becomes a stock market where stock is bought and sold. Mr. Smithls class continues with their current event theme of major importance. American Government is the last required course, and is us- ually taken in the Senior year. Our government from the settling of America, through the development of the Constitution, and up to today's problems is studied. Scrapbooks, city council meet- ings, and certain radio programs are the outside work of this course. Sociology is a stuffy of the personality, in so far as its infiu- ence on our behavior. Etonomics is an optional course in which current economic problems are studied. ISELONV: Senes in History classrooms.

Q S 'QE ...JW The Art Department of our high school is under the direction of Miss Dorothy Wilson. The art stu- dents are able to study many different and varied fields, some of which can later be used in extensive study and made the basis of life work in such fields as commercial art, design, fashion design, water and oil paintings, sketching, lettering and posters. Commercial art includes various types cf designs such as for wallpaper, and silk, and wall hangings. These varied types give the students a wider scope of art and develops various interests. Each week the art students make one nature draw- ing or sketch. These are required, and one must be made outside of school time every other week. Mill- ard Musselman and Vivian McBeth are two of the ex- ceptionally advanced students, along with Fern Stranathan, Billie Froeliger, Elizabeth Crafton, George Jordan, Katherine Bargh, Claire Viesselman, and Catherine Brown. In Art Crafts, the students do pottery, jewelry, metal craft, lineoleum b-locks, wood carving, leather, and soap sculpture. Many of them are particularly interested in making jewelry. Edna Mae Pasewark and Muriel Jordan have a torch and are going into the business of ring making this summer. Book ends, serving trays, paper knives, and ash receivers are among the articles made.

Jfameg ' The line art of cooking and sewing is in the hands of three dispensers rf domestic art, Miss Anne Lori- mer, Miss Faye Orelup, and Mrs. Mary Miller. The Home Economics classes have an enrollment of 110, the largest they've had for several years. There are five classes each day. Mrs. Miller teaches the fourth hour and Miss Lorimer the other four hours. The outline cf foodstuffs has been covered. The girls not only cook the food, but plan a complete meal and serve it, also. The students are taught how to choose the ctrrect foods and to be healthy. The girls are all proud of the new mix-master which they received this year. The Cafeteria, under the careful supervision of Miss Lorimer and her helpers, is run on a non-profit basis. There is not only good food, but a variety from which to choose, so everyone may get a well- balanced meal. Due to the time and instruction of Miss Orelup, many fire garments, such as slacks, shorts, jackets, blouses, dresses, skirts, and slips, have been made. There are 124 students enrolled who are taught correct colors, styles, good design, pcsture, etc. Among the new introductions this year is the new member,-''FayeAnn, so named by the classes in hcnor of Miss Faye Orelup and Miss Anne Lorimer, the god-mothers. This doll has diHef'ent hair styles and two dresses modeled each year, giving the stu- dents an idea cf the changing fashions. New sam- ples of rayon were also received and used as a basis of part of the class projects. The Open House, an annual affair, held for the mothers of the Home Economics students, was held on May 10 this year and showed the progress made during the school year. All refreshments were pre- pared and served by the fox ds class students. The A Cappella Choir is one of the finest organizations of our school. Dressed in their red and black robes, they make an impressive sight which is surpassed only by the excellent quality of their music. This choir of thirty-five Voices has presented many programs during the year. On February 23, the choir sang in the as- sembly given by the entire vocal music department. They also sang at the Christmas and Easter Assemblies, and presented va radio program over WREN on April 26. The choir sang on May 3 at Basehor, Kansas, at the Annual Tri-County League Music Festival. On April 5 the choir, in conjunction with the Girls' Glee Club and the Dramatics Club, gave a program in the high school auditorium. They sang five numbers, two of which were especially well liked. They were Go to Dark Gethsemane by Noble and Rock of Ages by Hastings. The choir presented their part of the program at the latter third of the program with Martha Dooley as the soloist for Rock of Ages . The choir gave another program in Hoch Auditorium on Sunday, April 28, in commemoration of Music Week. They shared the program with the L.M.H.S. orchestra and several other music groups from Junior High School. In the Music Contest at K.U., the Choir placed in first di- vision and was recommended for the Regional Contest at Kan- sas City, where they received a fine rating.

This negro chorus was organized in 1929, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Adelia Miller. Most of the time is spent in singing re- ligious music, however, in the past few years, several other types of music have been studied. The group is named after Clarence Cameron White, a great negro violinist and composer. He was born August 10, 1880, in Clarkville, Tennessee. At present, he is the director of music at Hampton Institute of West Virginia. Some of his most noted compositions are, Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child, Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen, and, I'm Troubled in Mind. Directors of the chorus have been Mrs. Miller, Mr. Don Meyer, Mr. C. E. Sawhill, and Joe M. Williams. Each year 'the organization presents an assembly for L. M.H.S. and other programs for various churches and forums. This year has been perhaps the most successful year for the chorus. They sang in Ottawa, and presented a program over station WREN in May. On March 31 they sang at the 9th Street Baptist Church. It is the custom of the group to open each program with the Negro National Hymn. This year the group has accomplished something that for years they have not been able to do-to sing a cappella.

This year was no exception. Under the capable and enthusiastic leadership of Oliver Hobbs, both organizations have shown remarkable progress. N The band had a very dusty time while playing at the Na- tional Cornhusking Contest, but they thoroughly enjryed them- selves and made a good showing. The director, Mr, Cobbs , can well compliment himself on that performance, and also on the radio program given by the band on February 23. The 0 David Hay Park Hetzel orchestra participated in the program given Sunday, April 28 in commemoration of Music Week. There a1'e many groups inside the band and orchestra that are very outstanding.

BELOW: Pictures taken during Penny Wood, the heroine of the play, is sweet sixteen and never been missed, and her ambitions change with the hour glass. The Dawn of Romance comes when she is introducted to Roger VanVleck. This is merely a case of love at first slight as Roger is just keeping in pratice, nad he uses a line quite promiscuously on unsuspecting Pennyg but she falls hard nevertheless. She then becomes the sophisticated debutante type, much to the distress of her parents and her bashful childhood sweet- heart, Chuch Harris. The romance between Penny and Roger continues until Roger is introduced to the glamorous Julie Harris, a decided red head. Then it is that the young Don Juan .switches affec- tions and successfully elimninates Mervyn Roberts. Everything continues in a lovely mess when Chuck takes off in his home made glider against sagacious parental consent, and becomes lost in the air, but turns out to be a second Lindy who crossed the home town ocean for a safe landing. Chuck is subsequently forgiven by his father and decides to go home and put on his tux. Before he leaves he attempts a clinch: but he takes very poor aim he attempts a clinchg but he took a very poor aim and only gets a slap from Penny out of the deal. Humor was added by the romance of Effie, the Wood maid who experienced oft exploded plans for dinner, and Elmer Tuttle, a flesh and blood version of Mort- imer Sneard. Penny settle.s down, Mr. Harris sees things Chuck's wayg so the curtain fell on a well pleased audience. performance XY ll Samba What 14 .fflfe Because of the numerous outbursts of laughter, a person might have easily suspected that a large quan- tity of giggle gas had been liberated in the auditor- ium on May 17 when the Senior Class presented their play, What A Life. The plot concerns the troubles of Henry Ald- rich and Barbara Pearson, two students in Central High School. Henry's chief troubles are Mr. Brad- ley, the principal, and Mr. Patterson, the Roman History teacher. He wants to take Barbara to the dance, but his mother insists that he must get the highest grade on an examination. Henry gets the highest grade but gets it by copying from George Bigelow's paper. Because of this, he is suspended for sixty days: but his troubles and the schools troubles are not over, even for sixty days. Miss Wheeler, the music teacher, discovers that the band instruments ave been stolen. Mr. Ferguson, a detective from po- ice headquarters, is called in on the case and immed- iately Henry is accused of the crime. However, Mr. Nelson, the assistant principal, and Mi.ss Shea, the ecretary, come to his aid and at the last moment, r. Ferguson discovers that George is the guilty ne. The play ends with Henry getting to go to he dance and everybody happy. The teachers, Miss Eggleston, Miss Johnson, iss Pike, Miss Wheeler, and Mr. Patterson, wander hrough the play in true pedagogial fashion with ill and Gertie, two students, and Mr. Vecchito, an talian junkman, constantly in their way.

Membership in the Thespians is on a basis of the number of lines one has in a major play and one's proven acting ability.

By embarking on a progra of student directed plays, th Dramatics Clubs increased the interest of over one hundre students in forensics. Both the Monday and Wednesday dra matics clubs were enrolled to full capacity with every membe taking part in the direction, acting, or some other part of th activity with marked enthusiasm. Programs of plays and dramatic information were ex changed among the clubs. It can well be said that the wor of this year did much to prepare the members of these group for their work on the high school stage in major productions. Page 4 Th Bud e F great value to any school is the publication of a school paper. It is valuable in that it informs the student body of school news-present, past and future. The Budget is certainly no exception. The other great function of a school newspaper is the teaching of newspaper journalism and its principles to the students. This bi-weekly publication is written, edited, and completely prepared for printing by joint cooperation from the first and fourth hour journalism classes, each class having its own staff. The members of the first hour class areg Jean Conger, editor- in-ehiefg Lois Craik, managing editor, Bill Hough, associate editor, James Boyce and .Io Ann Perry, advertising managers: Iris Jenkins, Mary Elizabeth Cole, Leona Fetty, Sara Ruth Bouton, Jane Ansdell, Esther Mae Cooper, Velma Cobb, Roberta Harrell, Irene Flory, Josephine Starliper, Helen Skinner, Juan- ita Priest, Richard Stevens, Wayne Ice, Ramon Romero, Tom Hansen, Franklin Hirning, War- ren Har1'ell, Eugene Parker, Jack Lewis, Dick Keene, David Jewell, Bob Wiedemann, Stan- ley Miller, Shirley Bayles, Rose Marie Campbell, and Virginia Stephenson. The fourth hour class mem- bers are: Calvert Winters, as- sociate editorg Billy Joe Dill, as- sociate editorg Charles Kassing- er, Geraldine Hartley, Dorothy Woodward, Betty June Sullivan, OR 1940, Red and Black comes to you in notebook style. Recorded in this book are the activities as the Red and Black staff imagined an L.M.H. S. student would record them --perhaps a little neater but the facts are all there. The annual board, composed of Editor-in-chief, Thornton Mc- Clanahang Associate editors, Betty Kopp, and Arthur Nel- .song Art Editor, Vivian McBethg and Business manager, Maurice Abele, and Editorial Assistant Alan Fisher, have broken many precedents in producing the an- nual. For the first time the un- derclassmen pictures were taken at our own school studio under the direction of C. B. Cunning- ham. For the first time to our knowledge, tabs have been used instead of division pages, thus making fewer pages of ads in the back of the book necessary. The stories were written by members of the Red and Black class and edited by the annual board. The writers for the 1940 book were Dana Tompkins, Alan Fisher, Virginia Allen, David Joliy, Kenneth Lindenberger, and the annual board members. The advertisers got an early start this year, and results proved very satisfactory. Our advertisers, under their man- ager, Junie Sutherland, were: Gloria Hodson, Evelyn Grover, Bottom: Red and Black class. Page 43 Top: Representative group of the first and fourth hour Budget Staff.

The publication of the Budget has been continuous since 1893. Although the first Budget publications were published monthly they were changed to weekly, and then to bi-weekly, as at present. The number of columns changed several times and the ,style differed from time to time but the usefulness and high standard has remained at the peak of high school journal- ism. A regular issue of the Bud- get is four pages of five col- umns each. At Christmas, East- er and other special occasions, larger Budgets are published. A few years ago a twelve page Budget was published. Many famous people have been interviewed by the reporters. This year LMHS journalism .students interviewed Postmaster General Farley, Gene Autry, and Governor Payne Ratner. To judge from the activity on Fridays, it seems that we LMHS Lions couldn't get along with- out our Budgets. Helen Shaw, Jimmy Holyfield, Bill Winey, Maxine Stavros, and Dorothy Wilson. The books were sold at the annual selling party on Febru- ary 17. 'The party was in leap year style and was quite unique. Under the directorship of Sales Manager Gloria Goff, our sales- men have done a good job. They were: Eloise Glass, Helen Over- baugh, Faye Froeliger, Leolabel Hooser, and Leona Webster. The last two devoted much time to typing for the annual. ' No annual could be made pos- l sible without pictures. Arthur Nelson acting as photographic editor, and J. A. Lavery, head photographer, produced the needed pictures. The board hopes to have given finer pic- Black tures than ever before. Working as assistant to Business Manager Maurice Abele, was Charles Davis, whose main job was worrying about balanc- ing our books and recording wins and losses. Although Miss Harper is very modest about any publicity, the Annual Staff here wishes to express their sincere appreci- ation for her work, cooperation, and supervision. All of the Staf hopes that the interest in your notebook will never die. willggmall Our journalism department has had a charter in the Inter- national Quill and Scrcll Society, an honorary society for high school journalists, since 1931, and is an active member thereof. Each year, Miss Harper and Mr. Wherry recommend out- standing journalism students to the Quill and Scroll. These Junior and Senior journalists must be in the upper one-third of their respective classes to qualify. The recommendations are sent in to Professor Edward Nell of Northwestern University, who is international secretary of the organization, along with samples of their journalistic work. If the material Sent in is acceptable, the initiates are entitled to wear the pin and they are given a certificate of membership. This year we initiated nineteen members into Quill and Scroll at a banquet which was held in the L. M. H. S. cafeteria March 26. The program was in charge of Maurice Abele. Betty Kopp. and Thornton M'cClanahan, initiates of last year, assisted by Miriam Abele, Beth Biggs, Mary Fran- ces Fitzpatrick, and Bill Kopp, members of previous years who assisted in the custom- ary candlelighting ceremony. Mr. Wherry conducted the initiation. The dinner was in charge of Miss Anne Lorimer and the Home Economics department. Mr. Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the K.U. Alumni Association, was the speaker of the evening. He gave a different and most interesting talk on some journalists he had known thru his work as secretary of the association.

Today we are debating the ques- tion: 'Resolved that the Federal Govern- ment should own and cperate railroadsf This was the national debate question for 1939-40, and, in arguing it, the L. M. H. S. debate team under Mr. Weaver won 15 out of 23 decision debates. The Debate Club started to work early in the year, and when the time came for the K. U. Debate Clinic, October 27-28. they had the question pretty well in hand. The first out-of-town tournament a non-decision meet at Atchison, in which Mr. Weaver entered ten debaters, everyone debating live rounds. Shortly afterward, came the two day Topeka tournament, November 17-18. The eight Lawrence debaters won six out cf ten from a field of 36 schools. In January, the same eight debaters entered the Wyandotte Invitational Tournament, with the first four speakers winning eight cut of ten for a sixth place win in a Held of 30, and the second team winning two out of ten, but hitting some very stiff competition. Mr. Weaver took only four speakers to the last two tourna- ments-the District January 27 in Lawrence, and the Eastern Kansas Conference at Topeka. At the District Tournament, Lawrence tork third place to Topeka and Wyandotte.

He told us to be persistent in our pursuit of a job. Mr. Ellsworth described the chance of- fered reporters to write about Kansasa City as 0. O. McIntyre did for New York. He spoke of Leslie Stout, of the Saturday Evening Post, Dzris Kent, Doris Fleissen, who was on assign- ment with Sumner Wellsg Jerome Beatty, one of our most pro- lific magazine writers and a graduate of Law1'ence High Schoolg and Mrs. Florence Finch Kelley, a Well-known news- paperwoman. In short, it was a most informative and enjoyable speech. The Lawrence initiates were: Jane Ansdell, Shirley Bayles, Rosemarie Campbell, Mary E. Cole, Billy Joe Dill, Alan Fisher, Irene Flory, Bill Hough, Iris Jenkins, Dick Keene, Vivian Mc- Beth, Arthur Nelson, Eugene Parker, JoAnn Perry, Virginia Stephenson, Betty June Sullivan, Junie Sutherland, Bob Wiede- mann and Calvert Winter. There were 12 Leavenworth initiates who came down here to be initiated this year. the Conference, February 10, our debaters lost only to Topeka, thereby taking second place. In these last two tournaments, Bill Hough and Bill Conboy represented the negative, while Ar- thur Nelson and Garland Landrith took the affirmative .side. As a whole the Lawrence debaters did very well. Alto- gether, L. M. H. S. debaters participated in 40 debates and Won 20, and traveled nearly 500 miles. The speakers attending any tournament were Clifford Bates, Bill Conboy, Howard Creel, Bill Hough, Gloria Goff, Betty Kopp, Garland Landrith, Alice Jean Lemon, Robert Marshall, and Arthur Nelson.

The club is based on the equality oi' opportunity. There are no officers and the girls themselves rule the club. The qualifications of a good leader are: cooperation, neat- ncss, good athletic ability, and a sufhcient knowledge of sports to teach them. The leaders hold a position of semi-teachers to help those the teachers may not be able to reach. Often times, when there is a substitute teacher, the leaders 0f the Class have to take charge. Members are all active in intrarnurals, refereeing games, keeping score, helping with special activity duties. Intramurals were played in the following sports: hockey, basketball, volley ball, tennis and baseball. This year the groups held tournaments in golf and archery. For the first time, mixed doubles were tried in a badminton tournament. Last year, the players on the Winning team of basketball received medals, and the Winner of the archery tournament could choose between a bow or a target.

SCENES IN GIRLS' GYM e45 ABOVE: Some scenes from Boys' Gym and Track. gaqfi' Gym fam! f One of the most important phases of athletics Ccertainly the one affecting the most boysj is gym and intramurals. Dad Perry, director of boys' athletics, believes that moderate and trained exercise is essential to a well rounded school life. Be- sides teaching the boys the rules and techniques of such games as volleyball, baseball, basketball, tennis, and archery, Mr. Perry has stressed tumbling, ropework, and barwork. In con- nection with this work, the tumbling team has presented several performers before the school and public. Along with gym work comes the intramural program cal- culated to give fun and exercise to many boys not reached by the school teams. Intramurals started early in the fall with baseball. November of 1939, then, saw the start of the annual volleyball tournament. Then camee basketball, and the school hasn't cooled off yet from the heat created by some of those duels. As for individual scoring, Jack Blevins, senior, led the pack, counting 84 points. Five other top scorers were: Lewis, 68 pointsg Pine, 42 pointsg M. Schnider, 45 points, Gulley, 43 BELOW: Track shuad--Peterson, Jordan. Thompson, P. Sims, Pine. Parker, l left to right-Woody, Wray, Stannard, Barksdale, B.

They responded with great enthuisasm and 2 down to rigid training, moulding their particular talent to t best of their ability. The boys went into the season with detf mination, which accounts for the record they have accomplish1 The season officially opened with Lawrence meeting Olatl which resulted in a defeat for the Lions.

Second ..,,,.aWl1 . .wwvm Page T won't be long until Coach Schaake will again call the Lion football battery into action to make their 1940 debut before the anxious spectators. For the past season, the Lions have had an up and down season. They be- gan with a win over the Atchison Red Skins 30-7, only to fall to the power of the next live consecutive op- ponents. The Lion squad started out with a new and inexperienced team, facing teams so much stronger than themselves that their hopes were hopelessly downed, but the fighting eleven never gave up. They waited for their chalice to show their stuff, and when they did, it wa.s so surpris- ing that the oposing teams were spell- bound. Only in the closing of the season did the Lions begin hitting heir stride to win over the last three pponents. The Lions were in the spotlight many times for their trength and determination of holding their strong opponents 0 scores of uneasiness. We all remember the Junction City game the Lions were to be given the worst defeat of the year. ut through the drive and hard play of the Lions, Junction ity he score was 0-6. Again St.. Joe Central was given odds was only able to score six points in the final quarter. ver the Lions but the tide changed and the Lions gave St. Joe eir bouquet to the tune of 34-13. Although the Lions were third in their conference, they laced six .squad members on the two all-conference teams. eorge Goehring and Ed Dodson rated first team honorsg while at Green, Junius Penny, Bill Hormuth and Carl Hird received cond team honors. Ed Dodson was the Lion's leading man, rving as captain. Ed is only a junior, and next year will bear tching. Running close seconds are four other squad members. Pat 'een, leading the parade as being the only sophomore on either the two conference teams, was a credit with a very outstand- season. Junius Penny, a junior, ran a close Hrst with the COACHES: CANNADY, SCHAAKE, SMITH first team conference center. He has played two years of out- standing football, and will be back next year with more whiz. Next we run into Bill Hormuth, who is new to L.M.H.S. Bill was chosen as end by the pickers and his punting ability has made him an outstanding player. Carl Hird, as we meet him, was the Lion utility man. Carl started the season at end, was first shifted to guard and then to tackle, where he played the rest of the season. The Lion eleven will be looking for nine new players to take the place of the nine seniors who, though they might like to linger here, will take a trip into the future. Four first team graduates are those of your acquaintance. Maurice Knott, who has not yet been mentioned in this summary, has been one of the Lions' most outstanding assets in all-round performanceg George Goehring, Bill Hormuth, and Merrill Henry. The five supplementing the four just mentioned are everready and will- ing substitutes who, like all others at the graduating point, which they had it to do all over again. They are: Dave Jewell, Del- bert Perkins, Jimmy Harrison, Roy Golf, and Warren Willcn- burg.

On the following weekend the Pro- moters were able to squeeze out a vic- tory over the Topeka High Ramblers, 29-22. The next week Bartlett High School of St. Joseph, Missouri, was de- feated 38-13. On February 17, the Pro- moters met their first defeat at the hands of the Leavenworth Eagles 39-38. After recuperating from this first defeat, the Lawrence team traveled to Atchi- son February 23 to administer defeat to the Atchison Kittens 17-11. On Febru- ary 27, Lawrence had a comfortable time in defeating the Bartlett High Buffalos 38-17. The last home game of the sea- son was with the Northeast Junior High Dragons, a game which found the start- ing line-up all seniors. In this game, Lawrence came up to expectations by showing no mercy to the Dragons and winning 35-18. In the finale of the year's regular play March 8, the Promoters were able to overcome the lead of the Topeka Ramb- lers and come out on top 21-16. The Lawrence High Promoters were entered in an invita- tional tournament at Sumner High School March 14, 15, and 16, Front Row, left to right: Peterson, Thompson, Hawkins. P. Sims, Johnson, Jordan. HE Lawrence High Promoters basketball cagers, under the coaching of Maurice Cannaday and his assistant Arthur Standfield of '38, completed in March one of the most successful seasons in the history of the Promoters. The Promoters basket- eers won the Kansas-Missouri Athletic Conference Champion- ship this year, and they also advanced to the quarter finals in an invitational tournament at Kansas City, Kansas. Practice started the first week in December with four let- termen, Peterson, Hawkins, Thompson, and Johnson, and such capable boys as Sims, Jordan, and Woody returning. The schedule opened January 12 against the Leavenworth Eagles, which saw the Lawrence machine smash out a 24 to 11 victory. January 2'0 the Promoters humbled the Atchison Kit- tens 51-18, Peterson scoring 21 points. The Promoters next journeyed to the scrappy Northeast Junior High Dragon's Au- 7enmZ, Stimulated by the balmy breezes of an excellent sporting fall, the tennis activities at L.M.H.S. were ushered in with great interest. Tennis hopefuls made their initial bids for berths on the team by playing a qualifying tournament, which was spon- sored by their coach, Mr. Bailey. The following boys, having displayed their skill, were rewarded with positions on the ten- nis team: Bill Krum ,Arthur Nelson, Harry Wampler and Frank Blue, who teamed up to form the doubles for the team. The Lions met with defeat at the hands of Argentina in the first two matches of the current season. As we go to press Lawrence has extended invitations to Ottawa and De Sota for a match here. The regional meet is yet to be played and will be held at Leavenworth on May 11. There are various methods b-y which we interpret victory, the most common being that of weighing wins and losses . If one were to employ the aforementioned method of selecting the ranking of the tennis team tht result would be 3rd position. Howver, should one cast aside the win and loss method and replace it with the fair play sportsmanship method , Lawrence would rank second to none. in which they advanced to the quarter-finals by defeating Lin- coln University High School of Jefferson City on March 14 by a score of 29-19. On the following night, the Sumner Hig School of Kansas City, Kansas, whipped Lawrence 22-10. This year's Promoters team featured a fast high-scor ing offence as well as a tight defence, averaging 30.75 points 1 the opponents 18.66 points and piling up 51 points against A chison for their highest score. Peterson, Thompson, and Hawl ins made first team on the All-Conference Team. All wei good scorers as well as being strong on defence. This was tl last year for Peterson, Hawkins, P. Sims, Jordan, W. Sims ar Woody. Coach Cannaday next year will have Thompson an Johnson to build his team along with several inexperienced ru serves. So this year we all take off our hats to the Promoters ketball Team. Back Row, left to right: Dresser, Hargiss, Krum, Stowits, Front Row, loft to right: Nelson, Wampler, Mr. Bailey, Hack Catlett.

This year the uniforms were changed from the red jackets to white sweaters, which the girls like very much. The emblem was also changed. In past years the black L has stood alone on the jackets, but now, through the efforts cf Elizabeth Russell and Edna Mae Pasewark who made the design, it is possible for us to have a large red L with a lion across it. In order to receive the emblem, each girl was required to wcrk at least four hours. Many sold tickets at the National Cornhusking Contest, others saved seats at the games and worked on the Co-ed Frolic. Three events happened in the Club this year. First was the Chili Supper given the girls in honor of the new members, who were really embarrassed on the day of the supper. They had to come to school each in eight pigtails, no makeup, and clothes wrong side out. The supper, which was pronounced a g ca Back Row, left to right: Hollister, Boyce, Taft.

The Annual Co-ed Frolic was a great entertainment for those who attended. Clyde Smith furnished excellent music for the dancers. Mary Cole did a splendid job- cf managing. The third event was the St. Patrick's Day dance given by the Pep Club members. Only the members and their dates could attend. This was the only formal program dance of the year, and it was voted by those attending a very outstanding party. Edna Mae Pasewark and Mary Cole were chosen as queens. Many of the stunts between halves at the basketball and football games a1'e sponsored by the Pep Club. Under the supervision of Mrs. Dart and Miss Burnette, the club has proved successful in many ways. Elizabeth Russell is the president of the club, Edna Mae Pasewark, vice president, and Betty Leibbrand, secretary. Old man winter gloomy man of golf, was a little late in his arrival this fall ,enabling the L.lVl.H.S. Golf team to enjoy a lengthy golf season. Taking advantage of the fair weather, the golf team arranged matches with various schools. Matches were played with Argentine, Topeka, and Leavenworth. The Lawrence team, lacking the necessary experience, .struggled through the entire season with only one letter man on the squad. However, after summing up the existing obstacles which confronted the team, the season was of a successful na- ture. The teams paramount contribution to the great game of golf rests in Tommy Wagner who displayed remarkable skill in all departments of the game. The following boys, although they were not outstanding in competition, displayed a fine type of sportsmanship of which the school is proud: Bill Schrader, Bill Hollister, Bill Stowitts, Bill Winey, Max Kennedy, and Jim Boyce. Mr. R. E. Graber, sponsor of the team, played a major part in the organization of the team, and we are indebted to him for his effort displayed in making the team a success. Acting as a substitute coach when necessary, Mr. Wherry did a Very fine job. To the Lawrence Country Club, the Golf Team offers a hearty thank you for the splendid cooperation they offered. Seldom did the L.M.H.S. Golf Team taste the fruits of victory. However, to win or lose was not the team's immediate objective, their goal was to keep golf intact as a school sport at L.M.H.S. , L.M.H.S. Basketeers vs. Olathe. E In a heart breaking finish in the last game of the season, the fans of L.M.H.S. saw a fighting Lion team go down to de- feat before the Topeka High Trojans by a score of 19-26. This placed Lawrence in second place in the Eastern Kansas Con- ference, by vi1'tue of 4 wins and 2 losses. Lawrence completed the '39-'40 season with 6 wins and 9 losses, plus one win and one loss in the Regional Tournament. The Lions opened the season with a five game losing streak. They lost to Olathe, Manhattan, Junction City, Atchison, and Rosedale. This was followed by a series of five wins over Ot- tawa, Leavenworth, Emporia, Topeka, and Atchison. The Lions, although losing, showed up best in the Wyan- dotte game. Wyandotte wcn 38-27, but the score was the largest scored on the Bulldogs all season, thus we gained some distinc- tion. In the everlasting feuds with Emporia and Topeka, the Licns broke eveng as each team won a game apiece. The Lions had four returning lettermen from the '38 and 139 season. They were George Goehring, Lee Garich, Dick Keene, and Edward Dodson. Of these five, Goehring, Garich and Keene graduate this spring.

These boys will be expected to carry on next year for L.M.H.S. with the ex- ception of Weber, who graduates. One cf the highlights of the season was Gordon Stucker's sudden rise from the Cubs to a regular on the first string. In the Regional Tourney the Lions won from the Argentine team by a score of 31-21, and then lost out by losing to Shawnee Mission to the tune of 29 to 21. In the first ten scorers of the Eastern Kansas Cfnference, Junius Penny and Lee Garich finished fifth and sixth respect- ively with averages of 5.50 and 5.33. The boys were under the direction of Coach Elmer Schaake. Coach Schaake is a graduate of Liberty Memorial High School and the University of Kansas. He was a star athlete here at LMHS and when he went to K. U., he brought fame in athletics to the good old Alma Mater. Coach Schaake is finishing his second year of coaching in all sports this year. Maurice Cannady, physical education instructor of Junior High School, assists Coach Schaake in his coaching. He helped the Promoters make their fine record this year. Warren Smith, social studies instructor here at LMHS, is the assistant coach here. M at nounccr Cunningham.

The departments are Auto- Mechanics, Woodwork, Mechanical Drawing, and Printing. The course in Auto-Mechanics is given mainly for those who are mechanically inclined or wish to know more about what makes a car run. There are two classes and each is two hours long. The students are first taught the fundamentals of an automobile and then are given practical experience in the shop. Several students are apprenticed out to local garages. They do work on their own cars and also the teachers' cars at cost and without a profit. Mr. E. J. Logsdon is the instructor. This department does rush business for the faculty. Woodwork is offered to anyone who wishes to become ac- quainted in the art of working with wood and can stand the noises emanating therefrom. The students make articles that are useful around the home. They are taught how to use the many different tools and machines in the shop, such as lathes, planes, band saws, jointers, circular saws, drill press, etc. The course is taught by one of the most experienced teachers in the high school, Mr. L. H. Emmett, and has an enrollment of about ninety-five students. There is one class of Mechanical drawing. Mr. Emmett is the instructor for the thirty students. The students are taught all kinds of drawing, such as simple drawing, freehand sketch- 'Nm ing, geometric drawing, and architectural drawing. The stu- dent is usually quite an artist by the time he receives his last six weeks passing report. The Department of Printing is more or less set off by it- self as it occupies a building, known as the Annex. The students number about 100 and are given six semesters in printing if they so desire. The student beginner in printing starts from the ground up, and learns the lay of the type case. The second year stu- dent has a little easier time ot it as he knows the ropes and does some work for the school, such as setting up and printing etc. The third year student's school and learning about the calendars, permits, programs, Work consists of work for the presses, different kinds of paper in the shop, and the paper cut- ter. In addition to this he is given the job of foreman of the shop, which is to say that he helps instruct and run the shop in a general manner. The printing department is kept busy during the school year with jobs coming in from practically every school in Lawrence. Seine of the more important jobs dtne by the shop are: The Spring Junior, calendars, busines.s statements, ofiice forms, grade cards, and various tickets, and posters and pro- grams. Some of the students enter various contests during the year. The department has won four national awards during the past seven years and several blue ribbons at the State Fair.

Perhaps you were startled when you saw about ten stu- dents wandering around the school lawn with a surveyor's transit last fall. Don't be alarmed. These were no lunatics escaped from the hospital. They were not even harmless Demo- crats or Republicans. These were merely the ten pioneers of the first Trigonometry class LMHS has had for years. As well as learning to solve triangles on paper, they had several prac- tical problems to work out. Miss Rayhill had some of her stu- dents find the height of the smokestack on the 'thill , others the height of the school buildingg and still others the distance be- tween Fraser Hall and the Museumdall without setting foot off our campus. The Trig students this year enjoyed the one semester course and hope that another will be offered next year. 'Wi Another new class which made its debut this year was third year Latin for fourth year as the text saysb. Under Miss Shoe- maker this cass of nine have studied Vergil's Aeneid and the works of various other Roman poets. After reading through the first, second, fourth, and sixth books of the Aeneid the stu- dents drew maps of the Underworld as Ve1'gil pictured it when Aeneas, the hero, made his journey there. This also has been a very instructive and interesting course according to all re- ports. Rumor has it that another third year Latin class is being organized next year to study the orations of Cicero. M1044 ancf .f ' For the first time this year, history and literature have been combined in one class. This class is taught by Mr. Walter Russell. The class studies literature that has some connection with history. For example, when they studied the industrial revolu- tion, they took up the story of Silas Marner, which shows the changes of hand labor to the modern exchanges of machinery. They also studied the developments of modern inventions. This class has been very successful and shows that our school is keeping up with the modern trend in education. The personnel of the class is: Dorothy Beebe, Virginia Bri- zendinu, Laura Buchanan, Mildred Burgess, Jean Button, Max- ine Chapman, Helen Mae Dietrich, John Hill, Raymond John- son, Henry Jones, Kenneth Kempter, Bud Lindley, Vernon Lutz, Edith Miller, Waldo Monroe, Eugene Moore, Margaret Moor- man, Dale North, Harry Olionn, and Tommy Patchen.
