In Retrospect Foreword when one endeavors to write a historical account of the life of a school, he encounters many interesting facets of school life its beam of light direction. --each casting in a different Exploring each but it is even of these facets is difficult, more difficult ' to synthesize them into one account in the form of a yearbook because they reflect different values, different standards, different backgrounds, different The account that follows has been authenticated through school attendance registers, permanent high school records, records of boards of education, county teacher registers, school directories, newspaper articles, programs, and other historical records and accounts. It is hoped that as you view this spectrum of school life you will recall the memorable moments of yesteryear, for this is your high school in retrospect. 12831255 Dedication To the graduates of Lorraine Union and Rural High Schools this work is sincerely dedicated. Acknowledgments Much time, thought, perserverance, and searching went into the preparation of this yearbook. Hundreds of individuals were called upon to write a letter or make a call, to supply a picture or recall a name, to make an inquiry or to submit data. Each worked with enthusiasm. Vernon Splitter, who copied hundreds of photographs, and Margie Schmidt, who planned and assembled this yearbook, are to be commended for their roles in making this pictorial work possible. O. School Hlstor The big white frame building of the first consolidated school in Kansas will never stand as a tourist attraction as does the little red schoolhouse moved from this state to Knott's Berry Farm in California. The principal reason is that the local citizens were too busy mak- ing history to be concerned with the preservation of a building. However, records of the event were preserved in books, letters, pictures, historical societies, and in the minds and hearts of those individuals who sought and worked for better schools during the last quarter of the past century. One such individual was H. L. Steinberg, who, when asked about the con- solidation several years later, said, My own experiences as a schoolboy were, to a great degree, responsible for the interest with which I worked for the organization of the Lorraine Union School . ' LORRAINE UNION SCHOOL ORGANIZED Steinberg knew the one-room rural school well, for he attended one and taught in two in Minnesota before coming to Kansas where he served on the board of yet another. He knew their inadequacies- the lack of plan- ning, heat, d i s c ip l ine , facilities, and teacher preparation. His own advanced educa- tion, totaling less than two years, was obtained at an academy in Monee, Illinois, where Professor E. Janzen was principal. In the spring of 1877 Steinberg came to Kansas and bought a tract of land about one mile northeast of what is now Lorraine. The first school in this district, Steinberg said, was a sod building on the northeast corner of the land we oc- ,Q e 7 cupied. L at er a fone- I roomj frame building was erected on the north side of the road, where the school work of that dis- trict was carried on un- til the year 1898. It was my privilege to have been a member of the school board during all those years. In this capacity it was possible for me to gain further . . . knowl- edge of the one-room school . . . Land itj caused me to think of ways and means of remedy- ing the difficulties in which we were constantly involved. 'k A magazine article telling of a consoli- dation of schools in Ohio was brought to the attention of Steinberg and others, and the idea of consolidating the schools of Green Garden Township was conceived. Informal dis- cussions followed, and it was generally agreed that such a consolidation would be educationally sound and that the town of Lorraine should be the site of any proposed school building. Several interested persons, including Steinberg, went to Ellsworth and discussed the idea of consolidation with Edward T. Fairchild, the county superinten- dent. Fairchild liked the idea and went to Topeka where he sought the'introduction of a bill making it legal to consolidate school districts. The legislature passed such a bill in 1897. i,?'ii5i3i. LORRAINE UNION SCHOOL - Organized June 8, 1898 First Consolidated School in Kansas fQuotations are from a paper prepared for the Kansas State Historical Society by Mrs. Paul Peters, Jr., who, in 1942, interviewed H. L. Steinberg, then 87, about the school consolida- tion of 1898. 1 Shortly after the bi11's passage, aformal meeting of the patrons of the Green Garden school districts was called, and Steinberg, who was made chairman, led the discussion as to the feasibility of consolidation. Opposi- tion developed, and the plan was defeated. The idea did not die, however, and on June 8, 1898, most of the districts of Green Garden Township were consolidated, forming School District No. 26. Members of the board of education for the newly organized s choo 1 district were H. L. Steinberg, John Franz, and R. W. Cook. W. S. Bean, an experienced teacher in the Lo rr aine area, became the first principal of the new Lorraine Union School. The white, four-room, frame struc- ture was opened for school on October 10, 1898, with Valeria C. Anderson teaching the intermediate grades and Johanna Janssen, the primary grades. The first term, eight months in length, closed on May 30, 1899. Thus, the first consolidated school west of the Missis- sippi River proved to be sucessful. HIGH SCHOOL PROPOSED In the fall of 1899, Wilbert A. Ward be- came the school's second principal. His end-of-year report reads as follows: Eras- ers are badly needed in all the rooms. Some good music charts and an organ would not be a bad investment. A good library, containing about twenty feet of shelf room, Should be HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL TEAM OF 1916-17 Played on a Dirt Court placed in one of the rooms, and an annual appropriation of S5 to S10 would be splendid encouragement to the library fund. Teachers should follow the course of study outlined by the State Board. The county superintendent permits all who make 9073 in any subject, at a regular county examination, to use such grades to- ward graduation the following year. I would recommend that a ninth grade be formed for next year for those CCar1 A. Teubner, Edgar Steinberg, Minnie Steinberg, Emma Mohney, and Mamie Henryb who have passed the County Graduating Examination, and those having credits toward graduation should be allowed to substitute ninth grade subjects for those accredited. This step should be taken with a view to maintaining at least a two years' high school course. Respectfully, W. A. Ward. The following course of study was suggested for the proposed ninth grade: civil government, English rhetoric, algebra, physics, physical geography, and possibly bookkeeping or German. The next year W. S. Bean, the school's f i r s t administrator, again assumed t h e duties of principal and served in this ca- He thus pacity for three years, 1900-03. became the first principal of the two-year high school which began in the fall of 1900. In 1902, Emma Mohney Murphy Cmother of Flor- ence Murphy Schachtb and Edgar Steinberg Cson of H. L. Stein- bergl became the first graduates of the high school. 1 n t he fall of 1903, D. L. Katter- john accepted t h e principalship and held that position from 1903 to 1909, except for the school year 1906-07, when J. C. Anderson was principal. During Katterjohn's admin- istration a th ir d year, beginning in the fall of 1904, was added to the high school. All but one of the 1904 grad- uates, al ong with Edgar Steinberg Cclass of 19025 en- rolled for and com- pleted the third-year and thus be- course came the class of 1905. STANDING: Ernest Kiley, Art Becker, Albert Kruse, Victor Groth, Edward Janzen 2 SEATED: Elmer Rolfs, Lee Henry, Robert Hein Ed Roth became administrator in the fall of 1909 and served in that capacity for one year. Bernard Friesen then assumed the prin- cipalship and held that position for three years, 1910-13. In 1911 the state legisla- ture passed a law requiring all beginning teachers, after May, 1913, to have at least one year's training in a good high school before being certified, after 1915, at least two years' training, and after 1917, four years' training. Fred C. Mil 1 er served as the school's administrator from 1913 to 1915. He was fol- lowed by A. J. Voran, who held the position for two years, 1915-17. It was during this time that it was decided that a fourth year, beginning in the fall of 1917, should be added to the high school. As a result there were no graduates in 1917. It is believed that the fourth year was added so that grad- uates of the high school could comply with time above-mentioned law and qualify as teachers. This is further substantiated by the fact that the board of education on April 13, 1917, passed a resolution nto con- tract with andldre graduates of the Lorraine Union School if they qualify as teachers.u Fortheschoo1year19l7-18, Harry H. Haury annual school served as principal. At the meeting on April 12, 1918, a motion carried to hold a special meeting for the purpose of changing the school site.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING PROPOSED Charlotte Morton,the first and only woman to become principal of the high school, held that position for one year, 1918-19. At the annual meeting on April 11, 1919, the board presented descriptions of three proposed sites.Themotion carried that the board call a special meeting for the purpose of voting on the proposed sites. A motion to build a new schoolhouse also carried. The board was then directed to invite District No. 74 to join District No. 26. Thus, District No. 74 became the last school district in Green Gar- den Township to consolidate with District No. 26,making H.L. Steinberg's Hdreamn a reali- ty some twenty years after it was first pro- posed. On April 21, 1919, the board contracted to purchase Blocks 16 and 17 of the Groth estate for S2,325, provided the patrons of the district approved. On April 25, 1919, a vote on three proposed sites resulted in 66 votes for the Groth site, one for the Willms site, and three for the Heiken site, S. S. Voigt was employed as architect,and on June 30,l919, bonds totaling 550,000 were voted for the con- struction of a new school building. On September 2, 1919, the contract for. the building was let, the board ac ce pt irlg the Wichita Construc- tion Company's bid for general con- tractor. School began on September 8, 1919, arxd A. J. Voran, who was the admin- istrator two years earlier, again as- sumed the respon- sibilityfor a one- year term. At the annual meeting on ' April 9, 1920, it 3 was ,agreed C13 to have a nine-month school term begin- ning September 6, 1920, C21 to levy Sl6,000 for school purposes and ex- penses in connec- tion with the new school building, C31 to authorize 3 the board to sell the old school building and site, and C10 to form a rural high school district. RURAL HIGH ORGANIZED On June 29, 1920, a meeting was called by H. Coover, the county super- intendent, for the purpose of electing a board of education for the newly organized Rural High School District No. 1. M. M. Rathbun was elected director, Oscar Wilkens, clerk, and V. H. Wagner, treasurer. Satan ,.....rcc ,T x-A-oo SESS? sl I E I 5 2 3 1 I A. C.

It is estimated that 1,000 people were fed at the noon hour, and nearly that many stayed for supper. - During the afternoon, the Lorraine girls' basketball team played the Geneseo girls, and the Lorraine boys played the Geneseo b o y s . Both lost to Geneseo. The evening exercises included an expression of thanks from the board, some vocal numbers, a short talk from the county superintendent, and an address by the principal speaker, W. E. Huesner. The new brick structure had many modern conveniences-rest rooms, showers, fountains, steam heat, and electric lighting. BUILDING SHARED BY TWO DISTRICTS The Rural High School, which began opera- tion in the old white frame building, moved into the new building, occupying the second floor and the basement. District No. 26 oc- cupied the first floor. It was agreed by the two boards that the Rural High School would pay an annual rental to District No. 26 for that portion of the building occupied by the high school, plus one half the cost of cer- tain other expenses. No rental was charged for the high school's use of the old building. In the fall of 1923, E. D. Meacham became superintendent of schools and served in that capacity forty years, 1923-63. During the early twenties there was a steady increase in enrollment, and by 1925, fifty-five pupils were enrolled in the high school. School cur- riculum and school activities were expanded to meet the growing' needs of the pupils. Aside from academic achievements, the h igh school received, during the late twenties and early thirties, many trophies, awards, and honors, especially in musical activities, girls' basketball, and track. Later in the thirties, the school received several base- ball trophies. Enrollment continued to increase, and by 1940, sixty-six students were enrolled in the high school. Boys' basketball began to emerge as the dominate sport, and in 191-I-5 the Lorraine boys, playing in state competi- tion, received second-place honors in the semi-finals. Some consideration was enlarging the gymnasium as it was small and inadequate. Since the west side of the gym- nasium and the stage formed an outside wall of the building, the possibility of making the length of the present playing court the width of a new one and extending the build- ing westward to accommodate a new gymnasium was judiciously considered. being given to .l ELWYN DEES Winner of the State Meet in shot in l929-30- 3l.

On April 12, 19145, a motion was made and carried to appoint a committee to circulate a petition for a new gymnasium and other rooms as needed for school purposes. The idea of extending the present gymnasium was abandoned in favor of a new gymnasium as a separate building with the possibility of a few classrooms, language and chemistry being considered. Bonds amounting to 575,000 were voted. FI FTI ETH ANNIVERSARY Fifty years had passed since the organi- zation of the Lorraine Union School, and on Friday, May 21, 19'-I-8, the last day of school, Mrs. Merle Rathbun, president of the P.T.A, , presided at the fiftieth anniversary cele- bration.

Everyone present received a piece of the huge birthday cake as they filed onto the playground for games and fun. BUILDING EFFORT RENEWED At a special meeting on December 13, 1948, it was moved and seconded to vote on going ahead with building plans. Results of the vote were 28 and 3 M. It was then moved and seconded to make the gymnasium regula- tion size, 50 feet by B4 feet, It carried. ' 1 J .QNX ,iff D k -L .. 4 Q q lfeev 411, -,Ea-V, S A 'ln 11 of x' ,pfL,'FJ I , ECE!! X, .

When the doors were opened to the public on February 16, 1951, Lorraine High School played Bushton. The following evening, the town team played Sterling, completing the initiation of the new gymnasium. Basketball continued to be the dominate sport, and Lorraine was honored to have been represented in the state basketball tourna- ment in 1952 and again in 1957. The size of the playing court plus the seating capacity of the gymnasium made it possible to hold many school events in the building, including basketball tournaments and band clinics. But the biggest event ever held in the building was on June 1, 1963, when E, D. Meacham, who, after forty years as superintendent of schools, was honored. The account that follows was taken in part from the Ellsworth Messenger: HA crowd, estimated at 700 people, which filled the gymnasium of the Lorraine High School and included LHS alumni, present and former teachers, and friends of the E. D. Meacham family, came to pay their respects touProfH and Mrs. Meacham, Saturday evening, saluting Supt. Meacham on retirement after forty years as head of the Lorraine schools.

County planning boards were set up to work out districts. A two-district plan was approved by a narrow margin by the patrons of the county in Sep- tember, 19611-. Effective July l, 1966, Rural High School District No. l will, by law, be- come disorganized and will become a part of Unified School District No. 328. In the fall of 1963 Kellye Hart became principal of the high school and held that position until the close of school in 1966. The following is an account COctober 3, 19653 of the way James Barr Fugate, area editor for the Great Bend Tribune, saw the high school's last year of operation, To walk the halls of this oldest consoli- dated school in the state, hereinthe little town of Lorraine, is like walking in a dream. Here is a modern high-school building, erected in 1951, complete with every conveni- ence, every device necessary to prepare a hundred or more young people for college and the entire student body consists of only eleven youngsters: five freshmen, two sopho- mores, three juniors, and one senior-four girls and seven boys. Yet, surprisingly enough, in this unusu- ally quiet atmosphere, there are tremendous advantages one would never expect to find. Principal Kellye Hart, conducting a tour of the building that will know no more high school classes after next spring, paused before the glass in each classroom door to explain, This is our advanced mathematics class. CThere were two students listening to a teacher solving a problem at the chalk- board.D Our Spanish I class here. CAgain only two students, but both were reading in- tently a conversation from a book.5 Here is our chemistry class. COne pupil listened to a lecturing teacher.J The feeling of be- ing in a dream world is very strong. The tour continued? home economics, Ctwo complete kitchens and four sewing machines in two large, airy classroomsl, the typing room, Cwith excellent equipmentj the library and study hall. Here is a machine geared for much greater numbers. Yet paradoxically, Lorraine is of- fering 23 units, or classes, this year and it is staffed by seven full-time teachers and a part-time music instructor and a part- time counselor. And five of these 23 classes have only one student in attendance! In reply to a question about too few stu- dents, Hart said, Oddly enough, we've found some unexpected advantages-the obvious one is individual instruction for the student, of course, and in some instances it amounts to an actual tutorship. One hears a greatt deal about individual help for students, but until he sees its effect in an exaggerated situation such as ours, he can't believe the difference it can make. But the most surprising thing of all, Hart continued, is the attitude of the stu- dents. Before the parents met and discussed the situation, it was thought by some that a school for only eleven students would not work. Contrary to that notion, it is work- ing better than ever, the students seem to have the attitude, 'This is funl' Without the conflicting currents found in a larger group, the students seem to be able to con- centrate easily and more effectively. And their attitude seems to be that of a special, even privileged set. Some of our classes are working on material well in advance of what they would study if the class were of the usual size. An old fact is being made very clear: the fewer pupils per teacher, the more attention each pupil receives. And attention is the best guarantee for learning. Actually, these eleven students may be luck- ier than they know. Hart pointed out that it was going to be Business As Usual this last year of their existence. They plan to participate in the league music clinics and in the speech and drama festivals and to enter the district and state functions as always. They also plan to enter the State Scholarship Contest in which the school placed fourth last year and third the year before. Asked about the plans of the seven teach- ers for the next year, Hart said, We feel it is too early to think of that. It may be that some of them will continue in the new unified district. But for the present, we work just as hard as we ever did. Preparing a lesson for a class of one is just as painstaking an effort as it is for a class of twenty-one. In fact, it can be even more so. Lorraine High School has a long history of accomplishment. Many of its graduates have done very well in the world. We, the teach- ers of its last year, intend to maintain to the end that same standard of accomplish- ment. And, watching the birth of school unifi- cation and the end of the era of- the small rural high school, it is the feeling of many townspeople that Kellye Hart and his fellow teachers, will give their children the best.
