QaiuiaidN niinr (Linss rlisturg In September. 1919. we, the seniors of ' 23, were duly enrolled as students in Mulvane High School. After encountering the various and trying difficulties char- acteristic of the early life of freshmen we at once eagerly entered into the spirit of our high school life. We were fortunate in having class members who even as freshmen distinguish- ed themselves by taking part in various athletic activities of the school, thus begin- ning a career of athletic attainment seldom reached by the members of a single class in our high school ' s history. Among our classmates who won many well deserved laurels are Frank Harris and Herbert Butterfield. who have for the last four years won exceptional honors for the school at County, Invitation, and state track meets. The other members who have distinguished themselves along athletic lines are Richard Hamler. Verl Throckmorton, Ralph Barner, Charlie Miiller, Harry Miiller, Harold Douglass, Raymond Poore and Clarence Rru ter. Ali of these students together with Harris and Butterfield won places on the first football or basketball squad. During the senior year the entire basketball team and nine of the regular football squad were members of the class of ' 23. Bessie McGinnls has for four years made an excellent record as a forward on the girls ' basketball team. Active and successful as has been our endeavors along athletic lines, we have always had time for various other phases of student activities. Among those of our members who have taken active part in debate are: Harry Miiller, Bertha An- derson, Myrl Adams, Verl Throckmorton and Leroy Johns. Verl Throckmorton, when a freshman won first place in oratory at the A. V. I. meet at Wichita and has since won many honors for his school. We, as a class, have never let special school activities interfere with the regu- lar class work and as a result our class is honored by possessing two students, Manie Meyer and Harry Miiller, whose records in school work have few equals in our school history. Others of our number whose names were usually to be found on the honor roll are: Gertrude Spring. Esther Wells, Myra Potter, Edna Berger. Bertha Anderson, Myrl Adams and Charlie Miiller. Our class has always been well represented in the musical achievements of the school. Among those deserving special mention are: Bessie McGinnis, who was a member of the girls quartet during her senior year and was honored by represent- ing her school as a contralto soloist at the state contest held at Emporia; Verl Throckmorton and Raymond Poore, who have taken active part in glee clubs, quar- tets, and operettas, and .launita Hazzard, who has won much praise by her excellent ability as a pianist. All organized efforts for the betterment of th? moral and social conditions in our high school have at all times received our heartiest support. A large majority of the Student Council officers are from the senior class this year and they are helping to make it a powerful and worthwhile organization. A number of our boys were interested and have been taking active part in the Hi-Y. Verl Throckmorton and Raymond Poore having held offices in the organization. A number of the girls of our class entered eagerly into the work of the Home Eco- nomics Club which was organized in 1922. During the Junior year we successfully presented Mr. Bob , a pleasing comedy and at the close of our Senior year presented The Touchdown, a comedy illustrat- ing typical college life. As a fitting close of our High School career we publish The Quivirian , which will always serve as a fitting memorial of the industry and loyalty of the largest class that has ever graduated from Mulvane High School. OPAL GRIFFITH — I had five chances for a date last night and took the fifth. PAGE TWENTY-FOUR

When, with nothinp: on his head but his hair, Doug ' comes into sight business picks up. We are sure some- thing is going to happen. This fellow throughly astounds some of the teachers by bellowing out in a loud voice after an hour ' s argument on some subject, You ' re right, the world ' s wrong. MYRTLE CARL COURSE, NORMAL TRAINING. Myrtle is so studious and so everlasting busy about .something that she doesn ' t have much time to get ac- quainted. If one really hunts her out however, and follows her patiently for a while, he finds that she is an interesting and very gracious person. No matter how busy she is she is never too burdened to be cheerful. MARION ABERCROMBIE COURSE, COLLEGE PREPARATORY. Operetta, ' 23. Marion has steadily advanced through his high school career. When he entered high school he could hardly keep up with his classes, but by burning the midnight oil an working hard and long he now keeps up with little difficulty. Marion ' s hobby is girls. RUTH FOSTER COURSE, NORMAL TRAINING. Home Economics Club, ' 22, ' 23. Sweetness is combined with attractiveness to make this most likable girl. She devotes her talents in the direction that makes her a true leader in everything she undertakes. Her capability is a magnet which draws so many true friends. BENTLEY OTEY COURSE. GENERAL. Bentley was with us a half year and we didn ' t get a chance to get acquainted but he was a good .student and made a number of friends while here.
