CLASS HISTORY September 3,1917, saw the class of ’21 start on its career. It did not take us long to show the other classes that we were not as green as we looked. We elected Harvey Sherman, President, Clarence Burke, Vice-Pres- ident, and Dorothy Eslinger Secretary and Treasurer. After a long debate we finally selected our motto, colors and flower. Miss Stewart was chosen for our sponsor. The second year began as merrily as the first one had left off. Off course we had our troubles but in spite of them we had a very good time. This year we elected Emma Tieperman, president, Arthur Davis, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Russell was our sponsor. When the third year began, we began to look more serious for this year great things were expected of us. We elected Glen Bidleman, Presi- dent, Dorothy Eslinger, Vice-President, and Blanche Manuel, Secretary and Treasurer. This year they decided we needed two sponsors so Mr. Bidleman and Miss Pinick were chosen to fill the place. For our fourth year we wisely chose Mrs. Carlson and Mr. Bidleman for class sponsors, Clarence Burke for President, Harry Kerns for Secretary and Treasurer, and Emma Tieperman for Vice-President. Now we are about to finish this great career we started w'hen we were Freshmen. We are still having a good time even though we are about to leave this assembly hall where we have spent four happy years. |� H.IA GUTHRIE, “Deliah” for Loaning Her Notebook Ambition — Southwestern HOLLIS CRAFT, “Hooly” Noted for His Grin Ambition — To be a Preacher FRANKIE MILLER, “Kelly” Noted for Her Stubborness Ambition — To Live at Nettleton ARTHUR DAVIS, “Dave’ Noted for His Frown Ambition — To be Chef of the Hotel Muehlbache.

CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1918 seventy-five enrolled in K. H. S. They were rather timid and during the first week often ventured into the wrong class- es, however, they soon partook in all school activities and turned out to be a very lively class. Myrtle Heath was our president and she deserves to be highly praised for leading us through our Freshman trials. The colors chosen were, purple and white, long may they wave. At the end of that term it was found that members of the Freshman class had the highest average in grades. We then bade all adieu until the following fall. When another summer drew to its close and nature began to turn the leaves red and gold, the school bells were again heard, beckoning us to come. We took our places farther north in the assembly hall than we had the previous year in order to fill the vacancy left by the former sophomores and make room for another bunch of Freshies. Our numl er was decreased this year, but nevertheless we didn’t lack the “pep”. There were a few new students to join us this year. Charity Donnell was elected President and Millard George Vice-President. We were heartily welcomed by our teachers, most of whom were well acquainted with us. Our trials were not as severe as they had been the prior year. During the following summer we anxiously looked forward to our Junior year which soon came. The members of the faculty soon learned our names and everything went along smoothly. Activities were livelier than the year before. We had our first experience i nplays this year and were well pleased with the results. Jay Baugh, our President, has l een the best president we have ever had, and dserves much credit for helping us through the difficulties that all Juniors have. Now we are anxiously awaiting our Senior year with great expectations.

CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1919, on a bright September day, fifty-five young, husky Freshies, decked in smiles to fit the day, climbed the stairs of Kins- ley High School and took seats according to the rule. We weren’t last to choose our colors, we were right there with the others, Lavender and Gold we chose to be our emblems in the fray. For our brave captains of that season, we chose Misses Smyth and Millei with much reason, and they lead us well and wisely, we’ll all say. In our studies we were best and in sports we led the rest. And so our joyous P reshman year soon slipped away. Once again we climbed the stairway on a bright September morn and glared upon the Freshmen with a look of deelest scorn. Though our number had decreased, our pep and spirit not the least. When Sponsor time had come, we chose Mrs. Riggs and M ss Anderson. In the school work and the games we maintained our last year’s fame, winning basketball and football just the same. In our interest, work seemed fun and the year seemed just begun when our Sophomore year had likewise passed away. Top Row — La vera Stevens, Valeda Soice, Corttie Stevens, Verle Weage, Grace McGinty.

CLASS HISTORY We, the Freshmen of ’21 entered K. H. S. in September 1920 with an enrollment of seventy-five. We had heard rumors of how apt the Freshmen were to get lost while going through the halls from room to room but we had little difficulty as we had become acustomed to it in Junior High. Even so we think it rather strange that any person should get lost in such a small place. We organized and chose as our colors Cerise and Battleship Grey, but being unable to get pennants in those colors we chose Gold and Black. We are ever loyal to our colors and class but never thinking of them before the red and white of K. H. S. When it came time to choose our supervisor there were only three left so we took all of them, Miss McGill, Miss Carr, and Miss Doll. Our class has been well represented on the honor roll throughout the year, some l eing very near the top. It has not been all work and no play, however, for, “Work without play makes Jack a dull lx y” so we have had many good times. We are very proud of our record in athletics, as there has been a large representation from our class in football, basketball and now in baseball and track. We intend to go on making a record like this and graduate the larg est and best class that has yet gone out from K. H. S. Top Row — Elmer Troutman, General Freeman, Raymond Clift, Loyd Geddes.

Order In The Assembly Hall When to the neat ( ?) assembly hall Professor came one day, He found the naughty boys and girls Were all at foolish play. 0, Robert had Gwen’s powder puff And was powdering his face And while Gwendolyn said, “Please Give it Back,” With sweet and gentle grace. The Freshmen all were giggling Their lessons they forgot, While they were watching his play The remarkable Lamont The Sophomores seated in a row Forgot about the “quiz” And were paying strict attention To anything but biz. The Juniors all were (Horrors, think) They all were chewing gum; And if anybody wasn’t They promptly gave him some. The Seniors too, were looking '«n. With smiles so worldly wise, But if there’d been a trophy to the noisiest, They’d won the prize. So, “Prof.” stood gazing on this scenr And could scarce believe his e es; The “kids” did not know he was there! He felt his anger rise. He tapped on his desk with a pencil, And his voice was deep and strong, ‘Now let’s all get down to work please' Was the burden of his song. The students were so startled, That their faces all grew hot, And would you believe it you could hear A pin that chanced to drop. — Ijeona Luther, Sophomore, ’21. ATHLETICS After three months of vacation the students of K. H. S. welcomed athletics as they had never done before. This welcome not only being shown by the students but also by the community. FOOTBALL The first thing of importance in our line of athletics was football, the football team from K. H. S. of 1920 and ’21 winning more games and making a better record than has ever been made by a team from K. H. S., by winning 6 and tying 1 out of 10 games played. BASKETBALL After football came basketball. We were very much disappointed in not having the gym which we asked for, but our basketball season was a success from every point of view. Credit is also due Coach Bidleman, who faithfully worked for a winning team. Our first game was with an experienced team from Ford, Kansas. Our boys fought hard and would have won the game had they had two minutes longer to play, having the ball within two feet of the line when the whistle blew. The boys were not discouraged but came back with a full determination to win. After the first game, our boys slew one victim after another, until the end came with such splendid results. We regret to say that three of our boys are leaving school this year but we feel that there are others to take their places. The boys appreciated very much the sweaters awarded them by the school board for having made such a fine record. MILLARD GEORGE plays on the line. He is slim but know ' what to do to them all. He will tie hack next year. He also got a sweater. JOHN AI KINS plays on the line and is a mighty hit- ter for his size. He was ready always except woei, he was hjrt. He will be back next year to get a letter for the sweater he received this year. HOLLAND EAKINS plays half-back and can hit the line hard and low. He will be back next year to tret a letter for his sweater. ALFRED QUASKBARTH is our trusty quarter-back. He always knows the signals for the opponents’ weak spots. He will be back next year He also won a sweater. DALE CRAWFORD plays guard. He deserves credit for his work as a man of clean spoilsman- ship qualities. He will be back next year for a letter for his sweater. 36 ELBI E SIMS plays end with great skill, alway ing things as they come. He reci a sweater. HARRY OTT plays center and is always on the He made a good record for himse He also won a sweater. JOE EAKINS plays end most of the time. He is a hard man to get away from. He also wears a sweater awarded him by the school. ELMER TROUTMAN our full-back is as husky as he looks. He is a hard hitter and a man who knows his place. He will be back next year. He also received a sweater. ARTHUR DAVIS played tackle anti could surely hold the line. He became captain after Coy Parten quit. He was noted for his “crabbing.” He will not be back next year. He also received a sweater. COY PARTEN paptuin, played half-haek. He was a sure tackle and a hard hitter. He quit school Ik fore the season was over, much to the regret of the team. We hope he will he with us next year. ALFRED GUTHRIE plays guard. He deserves credit for his splendid work. He will be a good man for next year, as this is only his Freshman year. HARRY KERNS played tackle holding his own with his opponents. He was a steady player always on time. He will not be back next year. He was the cause of anoth- er sweater having to be made. SAMMY COOVER plays half-back and is the nerviest player on the team considering his size. He deserves much credit for making line plunges. He also received a sweater. LEE M ERWIN played sub. He was a good line man, and was always on the job for break- ing up forward passes. He quit before the season was over. We hope he will be ready next year when the whistle blows for practice. BASKETBALL Just as soon as football was over the basketball fever began to mak, itself known among all the students. This year most of the old men were back and we had a very g x team which won the championship of the south half of the western division. Our boys team went to the tournament at Sterling and won their first game but were eliminated in the second game. Kerns and Davis made very good records as guards and with Troutman and Hestwood as forwards the games were easily won. Elbie Sims played center and could jump like a frog Glen Bidleman, Harry McAdoo and Harry Ott played subs. They deserve much credit for playing what games they did. The work of the team was greatly appreciated by the school and the community. The boys won IS out of 26 games played. The lx ard gave sweaters to the basketball men who had not earned them in football. TENNIS The only games of Tennis played this year were between Elbie Sims and Alfred Quasebarth against Mr. Bidleman and Mr. Altfather. The games were played at the school grounds and Elbie Sims and Alfred Quase- barth took the bacon. TRACK We had only one track meet this year, and that was with Macksville. Our boys fought hard but were unable to win, the score being 62 to 45 in favor of Macksville. BASEBALL We had a good baseball team, winning 5 out of 6 games played. ARTHUR HESTWOOD play forward and does his part altho he i small. All the opponents’ guards would ride him hut he got away most of the time. He will he hack next year. HARRY McADOO plays forward as sub. He did splen- did work and we appreciate it. He will la back next year. HARRY OTT plays guard and forward as sub. He filled either places and we owe him much credit. He will be back next year. ELMER TROUTMAN plays forward and did his share of the scoring. He has made a good record for himself this year and we hope to see him back next year. GLEN BIDLEMAN played center as sub. He did his p; t and has many goals to his credit • will not be back next year. ELBIE SIMS, Captain, plays center and does his part in throwing baskets. He is clea about his playing and could have bee . better if he had shown a little fight. He will be back next year. HARRY KERNS played guard and was very good at J the position. He broke up many plays and did his share in making a good team. He will not t e back next year. ARTHUR DAVIS played guard and has much to his credit for the splendid work accom- plished by him. He will not be back next year. GIRLS’ BASKET BALL The girls’ basketball team, founded by Coach Bidleman in 1919, re- turned again in 1920 and 1921. The same problems confronted them this year. They played their games well but something seemed to be wrong. The girls had a good team, but were unable to win many games. All the jrirls but Dorothy Eslinger, Irene Evans and Eleanor Montgomery will be hack next year, and we hope to have a better team. Luverna Norris plays center and is always at her post. She received a letter for her noble work this season. Dorothy Eslinger played guard and did her part. She will not be back next year. She received a letter. Martha Davis played guard most of the time and did her part in making her opponents work for her goals. She will be back next year. She also received a letter. Irene Evans played guard, and being very quick held the enemy down. She will not be back next year. She received a letter. Verle Weage plays center and fills the position well. She stays with her opponent, and does her share of getting the ball. She received a letter. Aileen Moore plays center. She did well what time she got to play and we know she will be better next year. Ruth Wilson plays sub. She plays forward most of the time. She promises to be good material for the girls’ team next year. She was small, but mighty. Eleanor Montgomery played guard. She played a clean game and we were all sorry she leaves this year. Mahle Sims plays forward. She has a number of goals to her credit and we all appreciate the good wrork done by her. She is going to be here next year. She also received a letter. Claribel Eslinger plays forward and with her left arm made many goals w'hich we always like to see. She will be back next year. She also received a letter. Sarah Riley plays guard and fills the position well. She has red hair and she acts red headed too, when she plays. She will be back next year. Irene Evans, Sarah Riley, Dorothy Eslinger, Eleanor Montgomery Ruth Wilson, Claribel Eslinger, Mable Sims, Martha Davis Luverna Norris, Verle Weage, Aileen Moore PEG 0’ MY HEART “Peg 0’ My Heart,” the dramatic offering of the Senior Class for the season of 1921 was successfully presented at the Palace Theatre, Nov 24 - 25, 1920. After their consistent rehearsal under their able director, Tom Mails, whose efforts made the play a success, the players were in ex- cellent condition, and went thru the entire three acts without hardly a mis- take. Highest honors of the evening go to Miss Marian Brown, who assumed the leading role, “Peg.” Miss Brown gave a very pleasant inter- pretation of the Irish girl. She put into her part whimsical humor and did artistic dramatic work. Glen Bidleman played the leading masculine role, Jerry. He was a very determined lover and won little Peg along with the avowal that she could keep her beloved dog Michael, not so handsome in appearance, but faithful in friendship. Harry Kerns was a good impersonator of the fastidious Alaric, the idolized and ideal son of the aristocratic and dignified lady, Mrs. Chichester. Ralph Burke as butler had just the proper stoop and courtesy to hold such a position in the English home of the Chichesters. Arthur Davis was just heavy enough and with sufficient gray hair to make him a delightfully middle aged counselor and lawyer for the young lady, Peg. Miss Leah Miller undertook one of the most difficult parts of all, that of representing the chic and extreme manners of stately Mrs. Chichester her- self, but with her lovely coiffure of grey hair, slender figure and appro- priate gowns, acted her role well. Miss Dorothy Eslinger as daughter of this proud old family showed to an advantage that useless indolent living with no particular object or ambition in view may very naturally lead to sin and disgrace from which she barely escapes through the efforts of Peg. Clarence Burke acting role of Christian Brent gave example of what the idle rich come to. Both parts were acted exceptionally well. Miss Irene Evans as maid took her part very well and always looked sw'eet and charming. The number and beauty of the costumes of Misses Miller, Eslinger and Brown added much to the attractiveness of the play. The stage setting was very pretty with latticed w indows, doors that opened inward thru which entrances and exits to drawing room were made. There was an attractive looking stairway with an old-fashioned clock with long, exposed pendulum ticking away on the landing. The storm scene was very realistic, with lightning flashing through windows and peals of thunder. The specialty, a Japanese feature with song and dance, was very prettily staged with Miss Blanche Manuel as leader assisted by nine other girls, all in pretty kimonas of Japanese style. The orchestra was secured outside of school. Mrs. Mae Ilackard, Earl Hanna, Lowell Baxter, and Robert Wilson being those who rendered a good concert at different times throughout the evening. I FANNY AND THE SERVANT PROBLEM The Senior Class of ’21 scored a brilliant success on the night of March 26 and 27 when a very capable and well trained cast presented Fun- ny and the Servant Problem,” at the Palace Theatre. Each number of the cast entered so whole-heartedly into the spirit of the play that the audience felt they were looking upon a scene from real life rather than a play given by high school students. Much of the success of the play was due to the dramatic ability of Tom Mails in directing and staging a play. Miss Blanche Manuel as the leading lady “Fanny,” was very good indeed and made that character in the play stand out very distinctly. Clarence Burke as butler and at the head of the Bennet house of servants was inimitable. In both Senior plays this year, he has shown an exceptional lot of dramatic talent. Other members of the cast helping to make this play a success were: Mr. Arthur Davis as Vernon Wethercll or Lord Bantock (Fanny’s husband) Miss Emma Tieperman as Susannah Bennett, (The housekeeper) Myrtle Keener as Jane Bennet (Fanny’s Maid) Hollis Craft as Ernest Bennet (Second Footman) Eleanor Montgomery as Honoria Bennet (Stateroom Maid) Margaret Converse and Irene Behnke as the Misses Wetherells (Fan- ny’s aunts by marriage.) Bernard Crawford as Dr. Freemantle. Harry Kerns as George P. Newte (Fanny’s Former Business Man- ager). Irene Evans, Ethel Countryman, Ada Hargadine, Frankie Miller and Marion North all acted the part of Fanny’s Theatrical Companions. The specialties were furnished by Lowell Baxter, giving several ex- cellent numbers on his xylophone. Leah Miller, reciting several pianologues accompanied by Marion Brown on the piano. Marion Brown and Leah Mil- ler in a vaudeville stunt, singing “Sweet Mamma.” This was liberally en- cored by the audience and seemed to be very much enjoyed. PROFESSOR PEPP The Junior Play, “Professor Pepp,” given at the Palace Theatre, y, l i uary 10 and 11th, 1921, was a great success in every way. Under the direction of Mr. Altfather of the faculty of this school, it became a work of art which Kinsley and the county enjoyed. The stage setting was the garden in front of Professor Pepp’s house on the college campus. The play was attractively costumed and the girls were lovely, some in pink organdie with ruffles and with hats to match, and some in draped gowns with pretty sashes. Irene McDaniel as leading lady and Emma Cox as the folk-dancing teacher were attractive in their characters. Bessie King as “Aunt Minerva,” the spinster crossed in love, and Maliel Sims as “Petunia,” the hired girl were a good vaudevile show alone. The leading men’s parts were taken by Jay Baugh, as Professor Pepp, and Ernest Hampton as Buttonbuster, John Akins as his son, and Debs Sherman as policeman. Jay was a good professor and Debs as the village policeman gave a good idea of the real thing. The entire cast of the play was : Howard Green, son of C. B. Buttonbuster________________________John Akins Professor Pepp, a nervous wreck_________________________________Jay Baugh Mr. C. B. Buttonbuster, a giddy butterfly of 48___________Ernest Hampton Sim Batty, the police force of the college town____________Debs Sherman Peddler Benson, working his way through school______________Millard George Noisy Fleming, just out of high school_________________________John Sater Pink Hatcher, an athletic sophomore_________________________Rolland Eakins Buster Brawn, a vociferous junior______________________________Joe Eakins Betty Gardner, Profesor Pepp’s ward________________________Irene McDaniel Aunt Minerva Boudler, his housekeeper________________________Bessie King Petunia Muggins, the hired girl_______________________________Mabel Sims Olga Stopski, new teacher of folk dancing______________________Emma Cox Kitty Clover, a collector of souvenirs-----------------------Thelma Little Vivian Drew, a college belle_________________________________Sophia Fox Irene VanHilt, a social leader_________________________________Vema Manuel Caroline Kay, the happiest little Freshman--------------------Irene Martin The specialties were put on by Miss Cleoma Draut after act 1, and Robert Wilson and Delmar Oheim after act two. They were both good enough for professionals. The music was furnished by the H. S. orchestra under direction of Victor Johnson. K. H. S. ORCHESTRA One of the attractive features of our school this year has been oui orchestra which has rendered itself invaluable at many entertainment� and which furnished the music for both the Junior and second Senior play making the musical pail; of the program a matter of much pleasure. Th. H. S. Board has been greatly interested in this l ody of young folks, and throughout the winter secured the services of Victor Johnson, who ha� proved a most competent director for the Kinsley Band. The members of the orchestra are : Piano-------------------------------------------------Cleoma Diaut Violins----------------Clara Anderson, Fern Misner and Leoma Trotter Mandolin------------------•_---------------------Catherine Heinselnna Trombone---------------------------------------------Clarence Burke Cornets------------Sophia Fox, Emma Cox, Robert Cox, and Ralph Burke Clarinets---------------------------Stanley Johnson and Herman Diers Director---------------------------------------------Victor Johnson GIRLS’ CHORUS Noted among the artistic amusement features of our high school is the girls’ chorus, which is composed mostly of the Freshmen and Sopho- more girls. These girls have taken an unusual interest in their depart- ment of the music, and under the leadership of Miss Anderson have pro- gressed rapidly. They have rendered many good musical numbers at dif- ferent times throughout the school year, and have always been enjoyed as much as they have enjoyed entertaining. Their first number is always a repetition and a most essential one, a real smile upon every face. We are confident that by the time these girls are Juniors and Seniors, K. H. S. will have a chorus to compare with any school for miles around. The members of this group of girls are : S O P R A N OS Clara Anderson Sophia Fox Madeline Schenk Mabel Behnke Iva Gatterman Valeda Soice Ethel Baker Bessie King Florence Tieperman Ida Bieber Lola Lauber Leoma Trotter. Helen Converse Alice Manuel Lola Turner Hazel Clement Grace McGinty Dorcas Tansil Gladys Dixon Velma Oliphant Lavina Trotter Mildred Eslinger Mildred Phillips Lucy Wise Elizabeth Elmore Sarah Riley Maxine Wade Bessie Evans Ethel Payne Verna Manuel Emma Evans Tracy Schaller ALTOS Gladys Montgomery Helen Fravel Ethel Matthews Mildred Stevens Mary Freeman Edith McVey Ruth Wilson Ruby Mack Bethine Kline Verle Weage GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB We now come to a jolly bunch of girls of whom much is expected. We always expect of them real amusement and good entertaining. They must l e able to sing well and act cleverly, and must also be good to look at. As all our girls are all of these things, they are frequently called upon to aid us in some program and always respond willingly. T ey are permitted to assemble together for the period of 25 min- utes. two days out of every week, and although this seems to be but little time devoted to them, they have l)een able to accomplish much under the competent music director and teacher, Miss Anderson. She has taught the girls to appreciate really good music by having them sing noted selections from the l est operas. After they have become tired working on the more difficult pieces, she gives them a chance at something more light and fan- tastic, and even humorous, which is easily understood and enjoyed by any audience the club might be singing before. The girls of K. H. S. of ’21 which make up this group are: SOPRANOS Ruby Sims Dorothy Eslinger Claribel Eslinger Delia Guthrie Leah Miller Ada Hargadine Margaret Converse Irene Evans Lillian Lafferty Cleome Draut Luvema Norris Alice Smith Merion North Lucille Gilley Irene Behnke Emma Tieperman ALTOS Blanche Manuel Myrtle Keener Irene Martin Irene McDaniel Eleanor Montgomery Charity Donnell Myrtle Hankins Emma Cox Frankie Miller Ethel Countryman MARIAN BROWN — Pianist BOYS’ OCTETTE Here is the bunch of boys who have the pep and the snap and the voices. They are equal to the famous Peerless Quartette, Am ican and we appreciate them as much. We always know w e will have a chance for a good laugh when they come on the stage, for all of these are talented, some of course being more than the others. But who knows—may be from this lively bunch of boys there will some day come a Caruso, a Mc- Cormack or an A1 Jolson and we will sit and listen for hours at his voice on the Edison, Victrola or Sonora, and say with pride in the very tone of oui voice and shake of our head, “Yes, he was a personal friend of mine, I even used to go to school with him.” But we as students of K. H. S. have enjoyed throughout this school year the songs these boys have sung for us at chapel and other times and we appreciate their untiring efforts in always being willing and ready to entertain. These famous eight boys of K. H. S. are as follows: First Tenors Arthur Hestwood Sam Coover Second Tenors Elbie Sims Harry Ott First Basses Clarence Burke Alfred Guthrie v Harry Burnett Second Basses Corttie Stevens SENIOR SOCIAL EVENTS We started our social career this year by paying a visit to our for- mer classmate, Velma Hart Handy. We called upon her at her father’s horiM and invited her to go to the river with us. We went to the A. T. S. I railroad bridge. Games were played and the usual eats were eaten. Kvery one went home early, well, because watermelons were still in season. The Sophomores next entertained us at the High School building. Gams were played in the Agriculture Lab., and refreshments were served in the I). S. rooms. Everyone enjoyed themselves very much. The next event was at the home of Eleanor Montgomery which was in honor of our former classmates. Zepher Drake and Dessie Bush. Games were supposed to have been played, but “winkum” wfas preferred by every one. All went home at an early, late hour. Frankie Miller next invited the Senior Class out to her home South- west of town. “Winkum,” as usual, being the favorite game. After quite a rest we had a hike to the railroad bridge for the pur- pose of taking pictures. The usual routine was carried out; then everyone came to town to attend the picture show. The next event was a very important one. Mr. C. W. Bidleman and Mrs. Avis Carlson (our sponsors) invited the Senior Class to an April Fool’s party which was held in the D. S. rooms. Many games were played, one of the most exciting being a track meet. While they led us out for an airing ,part of the refreshments disappeared but there were enough left to l e enjoyed by all. JUNIOR SOCIAL EVENTS The first event in our Junior year was taking the Freshies to a re- vival meeting. You see we are kind hearted and wanted to start them out right. The next happening was very serious. We started to the show and three of our most prominent Juniors were known to have flipped coins to see whether they would go to tie revival meeting or the show. Did they go to the meeting? Halloween was celebrated in a spooky, mysterious manner at the home of Charity Donnell. Ask Claribel if she likes skeleton hearts. The next Junior party wras held at Thelma Little’s home with Bessie King as assisting hostess. This party was Mr. Altfather’s first attempt at chaperoning the Junior Class. Our consciences hurt us to think of the Freshies so small and shy, so we decided to give them a masquerade party. The party was a great success, in that only one dish pan of apples and several pies were lost. The Juniors will have to give it to the Freshmen on entertaining for a big party w’as held at Sater’s in honor of the Juniors. Oh! the merry spring breezes begin to blow’, and the Juniors are on a go, to the old East Bridge. It is too early to write up the most important event of the year, the Junior and Senior banquet, but we hope to have it a grand success to be remembered in later years. SOPHOMORE SOCIAL EVENTS You can take it from us, the Sophomores of 1920 are a peppy, lively bunch. We started out with all the other K. H. S. students to have a hike on a beautiful autumn day. We were even a little friendly to those pesky Juniors and treated the innocent little Freshmen with kindness, but we were sure to hold our dignity. After a few weeks we decided to entertain the Seniors. It is our private opinion that this party very successful, and we hope the Seniors think likewise. The main feature of this party was the refreshments. We ate in the D. A. rooms at three long tables decorated in football trophies, (according to the season), the Seniors’ colors and likewise our own Laven- der and Gold. We gave toasts to prominent members of the team, and after singing and talking, all departed for our homes. On Thanksgiving night many Sophomores came out to join their lusty voices with the rest of K. H. S. at the bonfire in celebration of our football victory over Macksville. At the Palace we yelled our best and old K. H. S. almost raised the roof with cheers and songs. In the early part of the year a “run-sheep-run” party was permitted by Professor on one condition, that we “head for home” at 9:00. But as bad luck would have it the weather carried out Profs, plans and by eight we were dashing for home in the beginning of a down-pour. Next year we Juniors-to-be hope to have a “sweet” time and if our plans are carried out the Seniors will have to go home to beat our social activities. FRESHMEN SOCIAL EVENTS To begin with, the Juniors invited us to a line party, but did not s; v where they were going. When a good-sized bunch had gathered at the school house the Juniors took us to the tent where revival meetings were being held. Our real social activities did not begin until about Halloween time, when the Juniors invited us to a masquerade party. Some of the costumes of both Juniors and Freshmen were very pretty and clever. Everybody was surprised to find a little girl with curls to be Louis Donnell. Later we had a party by ourselves in the basement of the school house and of course we had a jolly good time. A little after Christmas we entertained the Juniors at John Sater’s home. Although we did it under rather difficult circumstances, and none of our supervisors could be present, we had a good time. There was a good sized bunch there, although some did think they must stay at home and study for the finals. In March we had a St. Patrick’s party at the home of Mildred Es- linger. It was one of our largest, for there were over forty there, with the teachers and a few outsiders. One of the best happenings of the evening was when, while playing Quaker Meeting, Mrs. Carlson, without saying a word, got Lee Smith to give her a stick of his ever ready chewing gum. Our refreshments were to suit the occasion as we had brick ice cream with green shamrocks in the center. We also had wafers and whistle. We have never had a hike and think it is about time, so if we can get over the spring fever and work up enough enthusiasm we hope to have one before school closes.

Mr. Altfather: How can one prevent drowning? John Akins: Keep out of the water. A certain Junior lx y is wearing a Great Bend ring on the tip of his little finger-------’Nuff said. At a party one night they were playing cross questions and silly answers. Mabel’s question was: “Who holds down your front porch swing at nights?” The answer was, “The hogs.” Poor John. Wanted: Someone to investigate certain matters concerning the north row of the study hall. Is there any difference between a chaperon and the so-called “tar-bucket?” Well, Glenn and Dorothy were accompanied to the show by one of the two not long ago. Delmar Oheim was accused of studying, the week of April 17th. The in- vestigation proved him “Not guilty.” A bright Soph says it is four miles south and three miles north to such- and-such a place.

IN KANSAS We’re living here in Kansas Where we’ve never had the the booze, Where the bandits are so thick We carry money in our shoes; Where the old girls like the young ones Wear their dresses to their knees; Where the dogs are always lousy And the rabbits, they have flees. Where the sunflowers bloom in summer And seek the azure sky, Where the flivver goes on a hummer When we wish to leave on high. Where the wheat fields look so pretty Till a hot spell comes around, Then they turn from green to golden And from golden unto brown. Where we eat corn bread and Karo And fill each others’ ears With talk of consolidation, And cuss the profiteers. Where all the girls wear earbobs, And look so very sweet; Oh! it’s nice to live in Kansas, Where they grow the sugarbeet. —Harris Jenkins. OUT, DAMNED SPOT! He : Have you read “Freckles” ?

K I N S L E Y Kinsley, the county seat of Edwards County, is nestled down snugly in the very heart of the best agricultural country in Western Kansas. With thousands of acres of land surrounding her that has an exhaustible und i flow of water within a few feet of the surface, there is no city in all the went that has such a promising future for a dairy center as Kinsley. Kinsley is eighty-four miles directly west of Hutchinson. Two rail- roads leading in four directions—eight churches, a high school and two grade schools, and $70,000 recently voted to enlarge our schooling facilities, build a grade school and a gymnasium, all point straight up the ladder of educational and moral betterment. The Old Santa Fe Trail and the New Santa Fe Trail meet in our city—one going straight east to Hutchinson, the other northeast by way of Great Bend. West, they both follow the old trail. Roads leading in other directions are as good. Kinsley is a city of home owners. Everything here is modern. The water plant is municipally owned and is in every way up-to-date, including sanitary sewers. The paving in Kinsley is not surpassed anywhere, and its light plant is sufficient for a city of more than twice our size, and is conceded to be unexcelled in any city of its size in Kansas. Kinsley is a good business center, has combined bank deposits of ov- er $720,000.00,and a hustling bunch of business men who are looking across the future years to where they can see Kinsley the best city of Kansas west of Hutchinson. To the parents looking for a thriving, hustling city that is ideal for rearing and educating children, Kinsley, Kansas, is worth a careful investi- gation. Her citizens are imbued with the grandest of human traits— neighborly, congeniality and the retained hospitality of the old west—that made our city a home lover’s paradise. Past efforts of the public spirited citizens of Kinsley have borne rich fruit and the future will see bigger and better things. Our schools will be enlarged, our business interests will expand—and expanding very rapidly right now—our people will reach out after and will conquer the higher ideals of the business world and make them our very own, and if you are one of us, your very own. Capital will be attracted, enthusiasm will grow, we will continue to be believers in ourselves and brothers to our neighbors. Kinsley invites the home lover and the home owrner come. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE In keeping with the other progressive moves in Kinsley in recent years, the enterprising business men of the city organized and put into operation an active Chamber of Commerce at the beginning of the year 1921. A full time secretary has been employed who will keep his business ear open for all enterprises that look to a letter and bigger Kinsley. More than eighty per cent of the business interests of Kinsley are enthusiastically supporting this most necessary of moves, and as time goes on, more of them are lx und to fall in line. Without any special drive for membership having been made since the launching of this enter-prise, the membership has made gains each month and will continue to do so. It is the earnest desire that every person interested in the home, educational and civic welfare, social and industrial uplift, and particularly city and farm relations, take an interest and become a member- of the Chamlrer. The Chamber of Commerce is not working for any individual, or business enterprise, it is working for the combined enterprises of the whole community. This applies just as strongly to the surrounding com- munity and the smaller- towns and communities contiguous to Kinsley, the same as it docs to the city itself. Whatever business enter-prise that may be established in Kinsley in the future thru the efforts of the business people of Kinsley and the Chamber of Commerce will Ire a benefit to the whole county, if not directly by way of a marketing system, then indirectly because of the added tax- able valuation. The bigger- and better things of life come thru the longest and strongest pull. With the business men of a community pulling together, as they are pulling in Kinsley, the up-grade that is ahead will be gradually but certainly passed. The Chamber- of Commerce is already receiving en- couragement from some nation-wide enter-prises that are looking this way. Expansion , by way of added enterprises, is what makes any succesful line of endeavor approach nearer and nearer its goal. That is just as tr ue of the enter-prising community, or city. There are a few establishments thar by the very nature of things Kinsley is going after, among which might Ire mentioned, a laundry, an evaporated milk plant, more extended facilities for accommodating the traveling public, and ultimately a flour mill, and a foundry and machine shop that will answer the needs of the farming public contiguous to us. The establishing of any of these will call for others. The Chamber of Commerce, in working for these, needs the hearty co-op- eration of the whole public, because it will make the work stronger- and accomplish results quicker. The American lads and lassies are the happiest and peppiest mem- bers of the human specie. To keep the generations that are always full of life and pep with us, we must make life for them worth while and oppor- tunities worth staying with. It is the hope of the Chamber of Commerce of Kinsley to make of Kinsley and Edwards County such a place that no person need look elsewhere for the things that make life worth while. OUR CITY SCHOOLS The public schools of Kinsley are second to none in this part of Kansas. During the year just closing there were enrolled in the grade schools 420 pupils. The enrollment in the High School was 180. Kinsley schools employ twenty-one teachers, eleven of them in the grades and ten in the High School, including the Superintendent. The 1921 graduating class consists of twenty-four members, nine boys and fifteen girls, ranging from seventeen years to twenty-one years. Of the fifteen girls who are graduating in 1921, seven of them have taken the Normal Training course and are to enter the teaching profession. To the parent who is looking for a location that may meet the wants of the child the High School of Kinsley by the way of equipment is provided with twelve rooms available for school purposes, as follows: Five recita- tion rooms, one typewriting room, one manual training room, one physics laboratory, one agricultural laboratory, one cooking and one for sewing. In addition to the above, there is one large study hall and auditorium. Kinsley High School is a state accredited school of the first rank. It is also on the accredited list of the North Central Association of Colleges and secondary schools, which means that a graduate of the High School at Kinsley will be admitted to practically every state university in the cen- tral part of the United States without further qualification, or condition. The people of Kinsley and the school authorities will welcome the closest investigation of their schools, of w’hich they are justly proud. Any graduate in the Common Schools of Edwards County is entitled to the advantages of the Kinsley High School without tuition, regardless ol whether he, or she, resides in the Kinsley School District or not. This is made possible by the provisions of the Barnes Law. Make Kinsley your schooling center, as well as your business cen- ter. The advantages are here; why not take advantage of them ?

The team finished in a tie for third place in the Saginaw Valley. Northern started out its football season witha 26-20 win over Grand Rapids Catholic Central, but was set back by a loss to Ann Arbor. Northern then came back to score victor- ies over Detroit Catholic Central and Muskegon. The Vikings defeated Saginaw in their first valley game of the season. The loss to BayCentral didn't stop the Vikings from coming back and making an impressive win over Pon- tiac. Northern was then defeated by Arthur Hill. The Vik- ings ended their season's schedule with a loss to Central in the annual Turkey Day game. Tony Burton was placed on the all-state team.

Mr. Marlette has been a Viking for many years as. prior to this season, he has been head tennis coach for seven years, junior varsity and sophomore basketball coach, and an assistant coach in football. Mr. Marlette took over the head coaching job from Mr. Carl Stelter at the end of the first semester of play. Mr. Stelter resigned the position to accept the job as principal of Lincoln Elementary School. His resignation ended a brilliant and successful career as a basketball coach at Northern High School. Even though losing six games and winning one this year Mr. Stelter has a remarkable overall record of 50 wins and 14 losses. Mr. Marlette took over the team with a record of one win and six losses for the first semester, and guided it to an impressive second semester of six wins and one loss. This gave Northern a regular season record of seven wins and seven losses. Northern also dropped a game to Central in the Regional Tournament. --- 1955 SCHEDULE --- Northern 58 Port Huron 53 Northern 56 Sexton 47 Northern 38 Pontiac 55 Northern 51 Central 57 Northern 52 Sexton 60 Northern 51 Bay City 39 Northern 51 Central 57 Northern 67 Arthur Hill 62 Northern 45 Bay City Central 46 Northern 66 Grand Rapids 55 Northern 53 Arthur Hill 58 Northern 72 Saginaw 63 Northern 49 Saginaw 50 Regionals Northern 67 Pontiac 54 Northern 58 Central 63 VARSITY SQUAD, TOP ROW: Bill Basilius, Lee Johnson, Melton Wright, Edgar Willingham, Warner Jones, Jerry Radenbaugh, Ken Waters.

With this incentive the girls are giving their best to make the sports department one of the most outstanding at Northern. Ready togo and confident of victory, Geraldine Lewis, Mary Linn, Sally Clark, and Carol Katenin hurry to meet the opposition in a hockey game. A swing and a miss!! Better luck next time.

We'll praise thee far and near. Oh, may thy sons and daughters all, Ne'er let the scarlet-gray to fall. But as it floats o'er storied hall, Beam brighter year by year. Oh, Alma Mater, true to you. We swear that we shall always be. We've loved thee well, we'll love thee long: Of thee we'll guard the Memory. 128 t
