GOLD When the Melting Pot stood new and burnished in the September sunlight of 191.1., the faithful stokers kindled the tire beneath it and gave a stir to the ingredients. Then into the Crucible was cast a mass of crude material ol a dark and suspicious nature. Tue firemakers looked askance, a combination of unanalyzed and unknown elements such as these might cause violent reaction or even disastrous ex- plosions withfn the Cauldron. So the freshmen class of '16 entered Marion High School. It is trueat first that this new material disturbed the smoothly bubbling surface of the Pot, but soon the material dissolved and began to throw off its own bubbles, giving to the ingredients a new and greater strength than they had ssessed before. A The class ofPfi.6 has always engaged in all activities offered within the Melting Pot-music, athletics, literary events, and Hi-Y and G.rl Reserve organizations. This year however, they have reached their zenith. Six football letter men and three members ofthe basketball squad were seniors. Six of the debate team's members were seniors. A senior represented the school in oratory in the County Literary Contest. Many seniors went out for Track. Both Hi-Y and Girl Reserve Cabinets contain a liberal sprinkling. of seniors. To members of the senior class is given the responsibility of editing both the Marion High Booster and this edition of the School Annual. The seniors have indeed furnished spice, pep, and talent the Melting Pot could not do without. Now the teachers, the mighty alchemists have completed their magic task of changing the baSCr mate'ialS into pure gold. Fifty-three seniors are now ready to leave the Melting Pot and be molded and hammered into shape by the great master, Life. liicqllo , - 5 .W ,W - ' K. - fi Clan Wi!!

Bran In the fall of 1923, 44 pieces of raw ore, dug out of mother earth, the Grammar Schools, were thrown into the great melting pot by the master mixer, Mr. Pound- stone. The other metals which had been mixed and tempered for several years were not quite sure whether they were willing to mingle with these untried, untempered pieces of ore. At first before we became used to the bubbling, foaming mass we were alittle timid and backward but we had brought with us so much pep and enthusiasm and such an interest in the contents of the great Cauldron that it was not long before we became a part of the seething mass. Some of the larger chunks of ore proved to be valuable football, basketball and track men. Others seemed to have the abilty to sing or orate and debate, thereby adding much to the general acitvity and success of the contents of the melting pot. In fact no matter what came up we have always furnished our portion for the success- ful amalgamation of all raw material. And now after the third year of the pro- cession cf the ore we are looking forward with a mixture of joy and sorrow to the time when we are poured out of the great M.H.S. Melting Pot into the mould of the wide, wide world. MARGARET RICHARDSON oucfgbmoa as A as as A- 69 99 - ofuqgno FN 7 .. - . i , , , il In , ,. ,, M w .- :V 4' ze 5 ' 6 1: w e ,ft it - -Y ' f .

LEAD In the fall of 192.4 a bundle of Crude material was dumped into the Melting Pot of Marion High School. At hrst the faculty was despondent over the task before them. How could they ever melt this material and turn it out into true Marion High School students? The first real melting began when the freshmen were given a reception by the sophomores. lt seemed an extremely slow process. But as the days passed by and the sands of time marked the passing of another year, this raw material gradually became a part of the seething ingredients in the great crucible. lt was no longer conspicuous as unehangeable material, but actually became a part ef the student body. The material now true patriots of M.H.S., has done its share toward making up the bubbles of the pot-the athletics, the G. R., and Hi-Y. The sophomores have taken an active part in the school life, having been represented in glee clubs, quartets and on football and basketball teams. They have had many social activi- ties which are part of the melting. The faculty who has so carefully stoked the hte for the pot has been responsible for the change that took place in the poor green freshmen who entered the pot in 1914.

RADIUM On the morning of September eighth, we Freshmen entered the Melting Pot of M.H.S. We entered with the determination to uphold the standards cf Maricn High School and make it better for our having entered it's doors. We were cordially welcomed by the Sophomores at the Freskinan-Scphenwcre reception. Having been thus welcomed, we have tried to shew cur interest and loyalty to our school by entering into all the school activities. We have been well represented on the gridiron, and although we were not repre- sented this year in basketball, our basketeers promise to do betterlin the future. Sev- eral members of the Freshman class helped to represent Maricn High School in the County Music Contest. The school representative in Declaination in the County Literary Contest was a freshman, MARY GENE Fw Thus after one successful year in the Melting Pot of M,H.S. we ccme out better fitted for the remainder of our school career. Now the Freshman class will take a rest and will be ready next fall to return to the Melting Pct cfM21ricn High Schco l. WYERNA BARRETT.

Clean standards in living, speech, athletics and scholarship are the component parts that have been poured into the Hi-Y melting pot to produce boys of contagious Christian character. The Marion Hi-Y has on its membership roll forty-four boys, about forty per cent of those in school. The Club has sponsored several worthy projects during the year, among them bein stron Bible study grou s, a Sunday school and church attendance contest, an all school play, the sending ofgfour delegates andpthe sponsor to the El Dorado conference, and the making of a substantial pledge to state work. The organization has made many strides forward since the opening of school, advancing from a club wihch scarcely met the minimum requirements last year to a club which now has the certificate ofaHiliatior1 and five out of the six certificate seals which it is possible to obtain, In all of its activities the Marion Hi-Y has earnestly endeavored to. create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character.

Stirring in a bit of needed material here, breaking up an undesirable lump of discord there, the Girl Reserve organization has helped to make a unified and Hnished product ofthe elements which went into the melting pot at the first of the year. Its membership included ninety-three individuals which was almost the entire number of girls enrolled in school. Among the many projects it sponsored were a county conference, sunday school attendance and health contests, Bible study grou s, a mother and daughter ban- quet, and all school play. A large part of their success was due to the guiditnce of Miss Papes, sponsor. In all of its activities, it endeavored to clarify the ideal of each constituent. Not only did it bring members inside of the school closer together, but also it developed an inter-school and community interest. eiqqqgpynioat. . - -A Q Q, 1 011191110 'ii Q- , ' 'ia.'

Products like ESTHER JANKE and MARY GENE FEY were chosen to represent our crucible in the County Oratory and Declamation Contest which was held April twenty-third. MARY GENE FEY, reading Christopher Discovered, portrayed the scene of the bashful Christopher and how his feeling of superiority was conquered by a school girl. The rendltion was given with a clever and pleasing effect. ESTHER JANKE chose 'lhe Undertrodf' as the subject of her oration which portrayed the negro problem. ESTHER painted a picture of the conditions regarding the attitude ofthe white race toward the negro and the pressing need for a solution of the problem. ESTHER took first in Oration this year, bringing a beautiful cup to be placed in the trophy case of Marion High. At the preliminary ESTHER took first in Oration. MARY GENE although a fresh- man and her voice immature made a remarkable showing. M.H.S. in future years will even be more proud of her. HELEN PTACEK, another brilliant bubble in the Cauldron, represented Marion High School and Marion County in the District Oration Contest conducted by the Kansas City Star at Council Grove, Kansas, April 16. She gave her oration in a very excel- lent manner and brou h h ' g t ome second place. She received the decision from two of the judges, of first place and a fourth from the other judge, which meant that two- thirds of the judges thought that she should receive first place.

ORCHESTRA In the fall of 1913 Miss Sci-io12N,after securing a suitable recipe for an Orchestra, placed into the pot four violins, one flute, four clarinets, two saxophones, five cor- nets, one drum, and one piano. She added to this a dash of pep, a pinch of time, a drop of rhythm and covered it all with patience. After letting it simmer about four weeks she presented to the public what is known as the Marion High School Orches- tra, making their debut at the Methodist Halloween party. Since then they have been prepared Whenever called, appearing at the All School Play, the Boomerang, and have given several Chapel programs. miqghlmi..

The music department having both of these, played a large part in the year's activities. Through the ability of Miss SCI-IOEN, the Melting Pot was made to sing, as it Simmered, and bubbled over the fire. At Christmas time, they produced a program jointly with the churches. On Feb. 17, a successful operetta, The Belle of Barcelona was given.

A MESSAGE FROM MARS The gold of the pot came glittering to the top when the seniors gave their annual play. Miss OLIVE KACKLEY arrived March 51 to coach the play. The tryout was held April 1 and 1. and the cast was completed the second day. The play, A Message From Mars was chosen by the class as the one to be presen ted. Under the very competent direction of Miss li.-XCKLIEY and with the co-operation of the entire senior class, the play was ready to be given in hve days, being pre- sented Wednesday night April 7, with great success. Probably because of the unusu- alness of the play, the weird effects obtained by lighting and costumes, and the ability ofthe actors, the audience named it as being one of the best senior plays ever given in Marion. The leads in the play did some exceptionally fine acting. XXYILLARD REMMERs as Horace Parker excelled in the portaying of his difhcul t role with its changing moods. Contrasted to this was the part of the Messenger played by CHESTER EHRLICH which was a very diflieult part. MABEL RAY as the heroine did splendidly and was a fine match for Wid. Es'rHER JANKE as the opinionated aunt, MIXURICE RICINTOSH as the tramp, LOLA HILDWEIN, and several others did unusually well. Orr' ' ?v5.L -V r .mc COACH RED SMITH With the coming of this yeai there was added to the stoking crew a new coach in the person of Red SMITH. Red had been a whirlwind on the Southwestern football and basketball teams throughout the previous four years. He had been a terror of the gridiron and then too he had that one characteristic that so many players of merit have, red hair. So it was not with despair that the fans bade fare- well to former coach Bill MoNYPENY. Coach SMITH did not have a select group of veterans to start the season with. The greater number were inexperienced men. But he showed that he possessed unusual ability as a coach by his leadership ofthe teams. He developed many of his own plays and opponents had to be on guard con- tinually for some trick play which was stirred in with the plunges, passes and end runs. Mr. SMi'rH is a lover of clean sport and has been a great asset to the school and community in developing clean sportsmanship and skillful athletes. COACH CECIL PIERCE As asssitant coach, Cncu. P1ERcE has been very valuable as is partly shown by his leadership of the second team and the records they made. He was also of great aid in asssiting with the first squad and his services were much appreciated by Coach SMiTH. Cecil is a former Marion star. He knows the game from start to finish and is able to teach it to others. 0HfCQH'f' - Ci' a gp 'S - Dragan 0 , M., We wagers an V I ' ., , ' M a.nsxz.h..v 'ff .1-Q.-aa.. -Q V . , ffa..M.'-Lf-an ' i ' i-an ,Jew sv' . .V ..

Y. , , roorisart SQUAD Five years ago last September there fell into this Crucible a new coach xx ho con- ceived cf an ambition and determined that all should yield before his mighty eleven. So it came to pass that as the pot began to boil and continued to seethe and froth, there were poured forth nine glorious victories. Three more seasons passed and one more all victorious tribe was cast from the molten content, while in the two re- maining years Marion lost only three games. But the ingredients to he poured into the pot this year were sorely tried and were full of the impurities of inexperience. There were few veterans left to take the held and the new general was forced to whip new recuits into shape for the coming battles. The Hrst game of the season was with a new rival. I-lerington was ccming strong but they were not a match for the A'Terrible Tribe and M.H.S. started with a 10 to o victory. As the weeks passed Peabody fell 6 to o and El Dorado was tied o to o. Then in the mud and rain the Rcd and Blues were defeated by Florence High 6 to 2.. Newton was next to take the field and another scoreless tie resulted. Cottonwood Falls was defeated in the following clash 7 to o and then it was time to tie again so when Council Grove came down, the scrap concluded at seven all. The Tribe scrimmaged with McPherson and brought back the largest score of the season, Li to 0 but the steam poured froth in great volumes when Emporia was defeated 7 to 6 in one that was probably the season's hardest game. just as sort of a Turkey Day prize the fellows brought back 3 to victory from Arkansas City and then turned in their suits. The result at the close of the season was by far in Marion's favor. Six games were won, three tied and one lost. The locals had piled up seventy-seven points to the opponents nineteen. oiuqpiiufi i MAURICE W1LI,1AMs, Captain-Senior. When Mutt entered high school everyone looked forward to the open- ing of the football season for he was one of the Williams Tribe. He was the only freshman to win his letter. This year was especially noteworthy for he was captain of the Terrible Tribe. WILLARD REMMERS, Senior Remmers started at half but due to his ability to back up the line, he was soon placed at full. Wid has a mean toe and his punts saved the day several times. But he was not confined to punting alone, his passing and smash- ing plunges won much fame for him. OALIE XVILCOX, junior Orlie, our trusty little quarter has added the second stripe to his sweater. Although he is small he is quick and cool headed. As the engineer of the team he has been quite successful. He is one of the two men who played all but one minute of the entire season. CHESTER EHRLICH, Senior At right end Chet has done justice to himself and to his team. On the de- fense he has been in every play and could always be depended upon to get his man. He was also good at inter- cepting forward passes. GILBERT MOTT, Senior One of the biggest men of the team is Gilly who has been performing at right tackle. Mott has served two years on the Terrible Tribe and is noted for his ability to lug the ball, as well as smearing the opponents' play. No one will forget the long run which Gilly made in the Emporia game that put the ball in position to make scoring possi- ble. HOWARD Snuztns, junior Although he was the biggest man on the team, Fat had ability seldom seen in a man his size. As a line man he was a wonder and could always make a hole of ample size for a plunge. EUGENE WII.COX, junior Here is another lad with the same old Marion light. Although this was Deb's first year he might well have been called the Grange of the squad.

We all know what to expect when there is a Pierce on the football team. Alb who plays at right half is noted for his line plunges. His educated tce has won many points for us, the most important being the three points he won in the Arkansas City game which gave Mar- ion the victory. We are glad Alb will be back next year. l3i1.L BLACK. Xeflior Bill made a late start in high school football, this being his first year, but his ability to hold that line made him especially valuable. Mauuicis SIEBERT, Sophomore Although he was only a sophomore 'gSieb was one of those who did the most in making the season of 'Lg a big success. He was a power at both de- fense and offense and played all but one minute cf the entire season. HOWARD PIERCE, F1'6J'd77?7!l7l Howard who plays fullback, is a freshman letter man this year along with John Williams. Not so much is expected of freshmen but he has more than lived up to everyone's expectation. He has three more years to iight for Ml-l.S. and will no doubt be one of the old reliables in future years. JOHN Vv'iLL1A:y1s, Fl'6.fb7l7L7IZ John has encouraged more than one football player with his smile and pluck. He had a great reputation to live up to and not only did he show promises of living up to it but of also im proving it. John was one ofthe two freshmen to win a letter. We expect great things ofjohn next year. Fil . rlli Q 1 Q 3 .

Third Rauf: HOMER FIREBAUGH, PAUL BROOKER. ln response to the call which was issued by Coach Smith, a splendid aggregation turned out for basketball. Among those most promising were four letter men of last year's tossers. The scheduled practice was soon started and the gym once more became a place of frivolity. At first the outlook was very bright but when the contests were started it was discovered that there was a decided lack of co-oper- ation. At times this became so great that it ended disasrrasrously. The team showed that they had the ability to play real ball, however, when they defeated the strong Cathedral Highs in one of the fastest games ever witnessed on the local court. While the season could not be classed as a great success, neither could it be classed as a failure. It was just an average season. Half the games played were won and half were lost.

MAURICE MUr'r WiLLiAiyis--Seafiar At guard Mutt was one of the dreadnaughts. His ability to snatch the ball from the air or the backboard made him indispensible. PAUL BROOKER'mJlHTi07' Paul not only won his letter. but also won the admiration of the fans, He could dribble with speed and precision and could shoot with accuracy. ROBERT Bon FLORER fZ!77i0I' Although Bob was not among the veterans at the opening of the season he developed into a guard of merit. He has another year ahead of him and will no doubt be a very valuable man next year. HOMER Boo'rs FIREBAUCvH flN7f0l' Boots is the midget of the team. Although handicapped for size he has played a notable game whenever he was put in. His scrap more than made up for what he lacked in bulk. MAURICE HBILLH MCINTOSH'-.Sx61Ii0I' This was Bill's first year of basketball. Although he did not make his letter, he developed into a very valuable substitute and went on most of the trips with the team. ALBERT ALB PIERCEYYJZZIUHI' Alb was one of the fastest men on the team. It was doubtless the injury that prevented his starting practice with the others that kept him from winning his letter.

Marion was en tered in eight events and from this the Red and Blues carried seven of the gold medals, three of the silver and one of the bronze. M. H. S. placed in every event entered, and stacked up forty-three points out of a possible forty-nine against the nearest opponents' nineteen. Several outstanding feats were performed by the Marion men. Siebert broke the county record in the 440 and tied it in the no while the ioo was tied by Holder. Holder was the high- oint man of the meet, with sixteen points and Siebert was one of the three who tied for second with ten. Mutt Williams added eight points by taking first in the javelin and second in the shot. Milton Ehrlich took the gold medal in the high jump, Shorty Powell second in the fifty yard dash and Alb, Pierce third in the iavelin. Marion took second in the mile relay. Marion participated in the invitation meet at Winfield and was entered in class A with such schools as Wichita, Newton, Winneld and the other large schools of the state. Marion was represented in this meet by five men who captured five medals and gave M. H. S. fourth place in the meet. Mutt took first in the javelin and fourth in the discus, Holder took second in the 50-yard, third in the ioo and pole vault and Siebert third in the zzo. antonio E E - o fa Q - omow xv q ,Q R The Drippings I 1 Thy are live fZ7j7lg.1', fm! dmd wcfffh that are nlrippizzg from tlvc cl'nUble.
