5 4 ASteaming smokily out of the harbor with the North High faculty as dignified passengers, the Moral Wrestle was bound for its doom. The ship itself, with Cap- tain Seizer Boardja, was never to be heard of more. Gaily dreaming of the world cruise to come and the six months of happy unemployment to follow, the Wichita teachers were all ignorant--of their approaching fate. A typhoon hurled the Moral Wrestle out of its course one moonlight night and grounded it on the unknown-in fact, practically non-existent-island of Go-go in the South Seas. In the morning, Miss Swisher decided that they ought to go ashore- they do it in all the stories. Several of the men balked at the idea of furnishing food for Cannibals, but Miss Lyman and Miss Ludvickson pooh-poohed them into silence, asking Miss Bainbridge to help them lead an exploring party. Mr. Brooks suddenly found that Cap- tain Boardja and the crew had fallen over- board quite a while before. In the panic that followed, everyone but Mr. Brooks scrambled down the side of the ship, carrying a box of bathing-caps or an anchor or some such necessary article of food. AThe vacationing principal of High School North was definitely puzzled. Alone with the provisions! Sighing, he hove to, and with the help of a small derrick conveniently at hand, hoisted all of the provisions onto a nearby hilltop. He promptly followed in person. Mr. Schlotterbeck, who in a state of fourth hour hunger had been in as much suspense as Mr. Brooks and the food, ap- proached questioningly. But at that very moment a deafening flash of lighting rent the Moral Wfrestle from stern to stem. Mr. Brooks said simply: 'QI looked for the shipis undoing. I saw it in the script. Behold your food. That afternoon, while Mr. Dotzour was directing a score of assistants in put- ting up the tents, they heard tom-toms. Mr. Clevenger was sure they were drums. Queer chills went up and down the backs of all present. Wliat to do? A policy of conciliation was Hnally chosen. They hoped the savages would hit upon the same idea. Miss Bessie Goodyear offered her serv- ices for the language quandary, while Mrs. Davis silently reviewed the Latin third conjugation. But the redskinned na- tives didn't even speak pig-Latin. They used straight-forward, easily understood American slang. How this happened, no one knows, unless they had seen the script, too. ABut the tribesmen wouldnit trust the teachers. Miss Tucker's polished persua- sion did not quite succeed in winning them over. Mr. Newcombe and Mr. XVoodin tried funny stories on them, but to no avail. Then Miss Stephens had a magnificent idea, which she immediately -n. 1 1 Q i i U7- 142 112 llvlml? Nofbing on Ibn bltll.'kb01ll'Ll? KZQ Sw111'1'h111g Ihr' horizon for girls!

has a habit of carrying away souvenirs . . . Bob Brown likes ,to have dates. Now isn't that strange! . . . Katherine Oliverson en- joys planning and making rock gardens. We youngsters can usually be found uhelpin' Mom or studyin ' when not in school. Albert Sullivan spends such of his spare time tooting the saxophone, tap dancing with Dudley Tankersley, and cultivating his fog horn voice .... Harvey Monasmith helps with the dishes, but Marjorie Morris is the only one who said she likes to wash dishes. AWe are rather hazy about what we will do after finishing high school. Most of us expect to go to college or get jobs. Janet Lee McDonald wishes to be a dietician . . . . Fred Van Orden is inspiried to be a butcher .... Eileen Reyer would like to be a foot specialist. Whew! .... Juanita Henderson intends to win a scholarship and go to college. Wishing you the best of luck, Juanita .... Molly Jean Moore wants to become a profes- sional soloist! .... Genevieve Parker is looking forward to being a dress designer. Then there are numbers of Sophies who have advanced their education by travel-many to the World's Fair, Flor- ida, Cuba, California, Rockies, and Wash- ington, D. C. Martha Gage probably can tell you something about surf-board rid- ing and money-divers since she has been to the Hawaiian Islands, and another globe-trotter is Ruth Williams who has been to Nome, Alaska. Bah Jove, and heah is Dorian Ledington who hails from jolly old England. AAnd of course we have done our part in sports and school activities. A few of those who are good at kicking the pigskin about are Leroy Herrman, B. Kirkpatrick, LaMere, Peters, E. Thurman, T. Thur- man, Lowe, and Eyestone. Then there are those who enjoy listening to the creak of bones and short-coming breath as they wrestle with one another, such as T. Thurman, B. Arteaga, P. Arteaga, Brad- erick, and Gregson. Those who really get somewhere in the water are Holmes, Sipe, Weaver, Wfichman, and Yarnell. Of course we all know that the future bas- ketball stars will be Cole, Eyestone, and B. Kirkpatrick. LeBlond and B. Kirkpatrick are en- thusiastic golfers while Richard Brooks seems to be the only one who is greatly in- terested in tennis. Those fellas who fly over the hurdles with the greatest of ease and go tearing down the track are Deebil, Brodie, Martindale, Richardson, and Waite. And finally we come to the most popular game, baseball, played well by Day, HatHeld, Middlebusher, Sutteer, Owens, Hamblin, and Eyestone. AThBse outstanding in girl's sports are Opaljane Martindale, Kathryn Skolaut, Mary Craig, Millie Minton, Maxine Sand- ers, Zella Alkire, Earlene Slaymaker, Twilabelle Rippee, Mary Elizabeth Chance, Shirley Callahan, Edna Nibert, Betty Webb, Alice Wagner, Helen Scaggs, Earlene Davey, Dorothy Spencer, and Ruth Jackson. Many Papooses have joined the band and the orchestra and thrilled us with their music during some exciting play or game fwhich couldn't be won with- out the Pep Clubj. The Glee Club has furnished us with lovely music at Christ- mas and Easter and also took part in the All-State Chorus. The following are Sophomore members: Doris Marts, Lois Moehring, Ruth Williams, Jean Pettijohn, and Charles Auchterlonie. Those inter- ested in art helped make the stained cel- lophane windows used for the Easter service and the posters for Impersonation Day. All of us helped with the Pow- Wow and swimming meets, even if in the audience. Juanita Brent and Betty Carpenter spend some of their time work- ing in the G. R. Book Store. AThe Sophomores are sprinkled about among the clubs almost as plentifully as the recent dust. The majority of us have joined either the Pep Club, Girl Reserve. or Hi-Y but many others have found their places in clubs such as the Garden, International, Book, Radio, Rifle, Elec- tricity. Those who hold ofhces in the Sophomore Hi-Y are Richard Brooks, president, Bill Maupin, vice-president, Albert Reagan, program chairman. Those who have been chosen for the Girl Re- serve Council for next year are Alice Wfagner, Betty Carpenter, Jean Pettijohn. There are always those scholarly stu- dents who usually appear on the Honor Roll, among whom you will find the fol- lowing: Floreine Allen, Dorothy Alvis, J. W. Bowles, Betty Carpenter, Morine Davis, Mary Garthwaite, Mary Louise Gretzer, Anita Klein, Frances Ann Lyons, Alfred Parks, Ellamary Robinson, Alice Wagner, John Wfaite, Garold Way, Kath- ryn Weidner, Alberta Zimmerman. AAccording to the vote of the entire Sophomore class the following nine were considered the most outstanding. In or- der they are Albert Sullivan, Jean Petti- john, Richard Brooks, Bob Holmes, Dick Cole, Fred Eyestone, Paul Zimmerman, Bud Hatfield, and John St. John. It's been great fun and hard work so far, and we are just wondering what the remaining years at North High hold in store for us. Our records show that we are making history, and who knows how many presidents may come out of the Class of '37? We will be glad to have a vacation, but happy in the knowledge that we will come back in the fall to our huge Wigwam. . fll In lbs' spring a young mmfx fuury . . . KZQ Burk lu nature.

ID T0 A yearis eave With Pay! Well, What Couldnit ou 0? After ome Real Sleuthing On Hobbies, ereis ur idea of How the Red- skin Faculty Might Make the Most of the Qpportunity ffilllflllll' fH'0lt'Clt'cl by the laws of llnf Shift' of N0llSl.'77X!'.J fllfle a piece of paper. Soon several interested ones were peering over his shoulder. Fin- ally he said, It's Hnished. Do you want to hear it? A chorus of grunts from the famished faculty was audible. The natives nodded assentg they were too busy to grunt. Mr. Catlin cleared his throat and began: A treaty between the na- tives of Go-go Island and their visitors, the faculty of W. H. S. N. of Wfichita, Kansas, U.S.A.- At this point, Coach Hedrick fell asleep and didn't wake up till nine the next morning. Coach johnson had to retell the plan to him. It's an idea of give and take, see? Wfe can teach them how to do things better and how to be really educated, see whattamean? Theyyll give us provisions and shelter and help us the ways they can, understand? A XVe'll work out the project just like the old school with a band, sports, clubs, a Student Council, and everything. Mr. Joachim suggested having afternoons free as a sort of 'memento' of our lost vaca- tion. It sounds like a good idea to me. The natives think it's going to be a lot of fun and they intimate that it had better be, see whattamean?', The experiment was indeed a success. Although the teachers made a somewhat nervous beginning, the extreme intelli- gence of all their students soon made them feel quite at home. Periodically Mr. Mayberry could be seen strolling by the grass hut which housed the school. This was almost an infalli- ble forewarning of a fire drill. But when the students rushed out of school one day before any other signal, they dis- covered, to their surprise, that the super- intendent had merely ambled over to dis- cuss with Mr. Brooks his plans for ex- pansion of the school. AThe natives went for literature in a big way. Grammar was required as usual, honor students being permitted to dia- gram sentences. The department head, Miss Hodgson, gave her creative writing students their head, and when they put their heads together, she discovered that the hot-headed ones had headed their themes: Heading for the Last Round- up. Miss Mohler started a weekly news- paper, called the Go-go Go-Gcfffcfr, every issue of which, written on sugar-cane paper, was literally devoured by the popu- lace. A dramatics society was incorpor- ated with Miss Clark as director. Here costuming was of major interest. The upstanding hair, ringed ears, and shining copper countenances above the incorrect tuxedos of the men and the undiaphan- ous formals of the women indeed created a glamorous effect.
