Y HMLLPLLLLW 1 Nl! !W'! !!!l'l1YU1i I E 1 R' i a i PARKER RURAL HIGH SCHOOL The Parker Rural High School is a class WAW institution and a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. These are the highest ratings that a high school in Kansas can receive. Parker ranks 14th in enrollment among the 307 rural high schools in Kansas. The Parker Rural High School was organized in 1922. Since then over two thou- sand young people have enrolled and approximately five hundred have completed the work for a diploma. In addition to the regular courses offered in Kansas High Schools,th1s insti- tution offers three units in industrial education three units in domestic science five units in vocational agriculture, and five units in commercial work. Much of the work in this high school is elective and a student may enroll in those courses that will prepare him best for his proposed vocation.

Cox, as president of the Board of Education,has been responsible for many of the improvements and developments in our school during the seven years he has served on the board.

OFFICE The office, under the supervision of the principal and the aid of the office girls, is the nucleus for all school administration.

The student council has made many important decisions in the past year. Some of them are: walk on the right side of the stairs and hallwaysg use the sidewalks instead of cutting across the lawng a definite plan for assembly programsgand the organization of noon recreationsg days missed during the snow storm. also a nlght school program to make up for the This organization has proved to be a worthwhile asset to our school.

But hoping for the best, We all joined hands with our sponsors Deciding to conquer the rest. And soon the green began to vanishg We brightened a shade or so, Until we looked like more than Just freshies in a row. Forty-six of our fifty-three classmates Returned for the sophomore year, And for the seven whc'd gone elsewhere We shed a silent tear. The class leaders were strong and determined To keep us all on top, And said if we failed in our mission They might be blamed for the flop. We now as Sophomorss felt strongerg We were gaining a step each day, We had conquered the freehie weakness And were well on our Junior way. Thirty-four of our forty-six Came back in our Jxmior year, But most of those who left us In other schools did appear. Oh, how we worked as Juniors With parties, banquets and playsl We had to sake the dollars count In the good old Junior days. These days, they passed by quicklyg Too quickly did they pass, For well we knew in another year 'Twould be good-bye to our Senior Clase But now as Seniors brave and strong We stand for all that's rightg We've reached our goals, gained victory, Attalned our 'Senior' height. We each must make a mrk in lifes We're fitted for the best. We can not quitg we must go ong We've passed the Parker test. It's a sad good-bye to our classmtes, To the teachers one and all, We now must reach a higher goal We can not, will not fall. CLASS PROPHECY I awokeg before sv eyes were strange gray walls. I blinked once--I thought I saw a tall, dark, handsome doctor. I blinked a second time and to nw amazement I found it to be one of my old school chums, Eugene Prentice. I asked him where I was. He told me I was in a hospital, but I couldn't remember coming there. He then told me that when I was returning from the commencement of 1940 an accident occurred in which I was badly injured. I had been in this hospital ever since. The present year was 1965. We started talking about our school days together. He told me what he had been doing since graduation in 1940. I began to wonder what had happened to the rest of my classmates and this is what he told me: Charles Brown still lives in Centerville and ovms the world's largest dairy. Phyllis Bohnert holds the world's typing speed record and is a model of stenographers. C.W. Campbell has replaced his father at the Centerville Pumping Station. Roy Collins finished his course in aviation and is now a handsome pilot on the TWA lines. Gerald lhvey is an all American football star. He is captain of the Rose Bowl League. Loraine Dill went to Africa to run for president. He may look up his family tree while there. Velda Ellis ,who liked married life better than school life ,is living on a farm west of Parker. Eleanor Funk graduated from college and is teaching Hathenatios and English in Parker High. Veta Haas tiring of the name Haas, mrried and is now living in Kansas City. Fred Harvey, who liked the cows and chickens, is now Secretary of Agriculture at Washington. Amy Huffman is an air stewardese on the min air lines frm Parker to Chicago. Ihyne Holdermn is still too ssnll to leave his fathergbut under the circumstances he is doing very well and is still able to take care of himself. Herman Keitel has joined the navy and is seeing the world. His favorite stopping place is the Hawaiian Islands and his favorite stepping place the lower deck. Duane Lansrath, who was called Wh:Lmpy is rmmning a hamburger stand in every county fair. Fred lee is still at Parker High School taking American History. He is somewhat improvedg his average is in the A class now and he .says he can repeat all the dates. Neyea llaurer was a private secretary, but she didn't like the idea of being boseed. She marr- ied her boss and now she is the boss of the bosses. Roberta Hurdock,who always wanted to be a nurse, is working in a Bosp:ltal for all Pet Animals' in one of the large eastern cities. She reports that sox of the patients recover. We can hear Doris Payne any time of day. She sings with Kay Kyser and his orchestra. Clayton Povenmire is very happy staying at home minding Junior while his wife teaches a near by country school. He thinks minding Junior' and baking cakes is more than a man's job. Jacquelyn Qaaintence has gone through college and is back at old P.R.H.S. teaching Home Eoc- ncmioe. She started in where lies Hunter left off. Strange! She reports no flunks. Carolyn Saunders is a nurse at St. Luke's Hospital. Sue especially likes the young internes. Paul Smiths:-an is at Centerville. He has become famous for his knowledge of dog training. James Thompson is still living at Parker. He is an old Bachelor. Clarence Traul, who always liked agrlculture,though the poorest in the class ,is back at Parker teaching Vocational Agriculture. llerle Webb is taking a post graduate course from him. Veda Wineland, who after finishing Art School, is back to her old home town designing dresses for the well known Vogue Shop, Laura Scruggs Inc. Darlene Wright is a private sec. at the state building. She says she has a handsome employer. Christine Wooten still has her eat and parrot. She is a typical old maid school teacher. Pauline Giffin is the owner of a large nursery at Centervil1e.She has a large variety of trees and each year she adds another to her collection. I was amazed to hear that all my classnmtes had been so successful. There seemed to be coming before my eyes a thin veil as though a cloud was passing.I blinked my eyes but the veil only became darker. I sank wearily back on my pillow, happy to hear of lv classmates once again.

In the sophomore class there were fifty students enrolled. They elected Doris Garmin--president: Clarence Wright--vice presidentg Maxine Harold and Adrian Johnson--cheer leaders.

Forty-seven students enrolled in the Junior year.Early in the year they elec- ted their class officers:president--Lillian Fieldsgvice president--Wallace Dumcumg secretary--William Bearlyg treasurer--Adrian Johnstong yell leader--Maxine Haroldg --counoilmen--Doris Garmin and Willis Mattesong sponsor--Miss Hunter.

Not only the seniors but all upper- classmen seemed to think it was their duty to make life difficult for them. Their sponsors Miss Guinn and Mr. Gerbracht, shared with them the many trials of initi- ation and helped them over the rough spots of this most embarrasing period. Their officers were: Roy Stroup--pres1dent,Paul Hodgson--vice-president, Virginia Harold --secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Byerley--reporter, cheer leaders--Mabel Fern Traul I-E. Qi Xe f ra 191 and Donnie Quaintance. They chose the favorite freshman motto-'Green But Grow1ng,' the flower--pink carnation, and the colors--pink and white. Two social events of the year were a skating party at the City Hall and a weiner roast and picnic at Cedar Bluff. Thirty-eight of these boys and girls, now conceited sophomores, enrolled for further adventures in the world of knowledge in the fall of '39. This year they electedgvirginia Harold--president,Maurice Byerley--vice president,Dorothy Byerley --secretary-treasurer.

Many embarrassing moments were experienced by them this year. The first great event in our high school life was our initiation which also included our sponsor, Miss Ropp. After this customary initiation, however, we did feel more closely connected with the school. We elected the following class officers: President, Jack Troutmang Secretary and Treasurer, Thelma Cockrillg Cheer Leader, Wilma Cockramg Student Council mem- bers, Lois Nickell and Billy Pingry. Our class colors are purple and gold, class flower, pansyg class motto,'An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.' In October the class, sponsor, and guest, Mr. Maurer, enjoyed a weiner roast. 'Our float, a typical Holland scene with windmill, Dutch girls and tulips, won first prize in the Homecoming Day Parade.

IN TEE COLLECTION PLL'rE.' 15 SCIENCE 1 The physics class is composed of twenty-one seniors and one post graduate. The class has worked many practical experiments and has designed and assembled a mercury barometer and a series-parallel circuit lamp bank. The barometer is an instrument which indicates the atmosphere pressure and is vitally important in forecasting stormy periods. It will forecast with a high de- gree of accuracy from eight to twenty-four hours in advance. The parallel section of the lamp bank is wired the same way as a home is wired for electricity and the consumption of electricity in the home can be studied from that apparatus. The series section of the bank is a sample of Christmas tree and street lighting sys- tems. Since electricity is so extensively used in the American homes and since it has a great practical value, about one-third of the term is taken up for the study of this branch of physics. Among the other parts of physics which have a great practical value are meas- urements, refrigeration, density, acceleration, mechanics, heat, pressure, sound, color, lenses, and magnetism. ffi Fixx ffj? :xw F'N3 ' P' fn J.

The objectives of the department are to train boys in the dignity of hand la- bor and acquaint them with the proper use of various bench tools. The boys learn the proper use and care of tools during the first semester. Then they use power machines under as nearly factory conditions as possible so they will appreciate the problem of the industrial field. Before beginning their projects the students are taught to make an analysis of the job. Investigation has proved that good illustrations are very effective in the learning process so Mechanical Drawing is stressed through the course. Industrial Arts was the first subject to relate its work with other subjects. Some of the viewpoints in Industrial Education have changed but the fundamentals have remained the same. INDUSTRIAL ARTS PROJECTS SCHOOL YEAR OF 1958 - 1959 17 VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE The Parker Vocational Agriculture Department is teaching thirty-three boys how to become thirty-three better farmers by following its motto Learning by Doing.n In this department the rural high school boy is offered countless ad- vantages and opportunities to help him make the most of his time and money. Field trips teach the boy to do the job as it should be done. The boys are able to select the best livestock through principles and points learned in judg- ing all types and kinds of livestock. In Farm Shop we find necessary and important training from the small job up to the more spectacular or farm size job. During the year four wagon boxes,two hay racks, three concrete soil packers, one complete tractor repair job, and one car overhauling job will have been completed. Each boy learns to do blacksmith work and is taught soldering by making numerous articles such as dust pans,cookie cut- ters,and sugar scoops.Among the many other small jobs in farm shop are harness re- pairing and oiling. ,..

The work is elective and open to any girl in school. In the Freshman year Foods is taught the first semester and clothing the sec- ond semester. The underlying principles of nutrition fundamentals of cook1ng,pre- paring and serving of a breakfast are stressed. The clothing work commences with learning of decorative embroidery stitches and their application. The use of the sewing machine and making of commonly used seams and hems,the requirements of good design and choice of style and colors are stressed. Garments such as slips,aprons, and plain dresses are made. The work of the sophomore year is divided into a semester each of clothing and foods. It is really a continuation of the first year's work. A continued study of meal planning is made in theory and practice. Garments are made of silk and wool fabrics. The third year course is ca1led'Home L1ving.' It covers a broad field of sub- ject matter such as the home and family,budgets, domestic architecture, choice and arrangement of furniture, health, and home care of the sick. The girls gain much useful information and practical experience. At various times throughout the year they help with banquets and parties. ! 'N ' ,.

There are forty-one students enrolled in the two typewriting classes. Only Juniors and Seniors may enroll in the one year of typewriting which is offered. Besides learning the key board and typing copies from the book, much time is spent on speed and rhythm tests, letter writing and tabulation. Shorthand has an enrollment of seventeen students. Only Juniors and Seniors are eligible for this course also.The class consists of sixteen girls and one boy. Most of the year is spent in learning the rules for writing. The last few weeks are spent in writing and transcribing dictation. The Secretarial Class consists of eight girls: six seniors and two graduates. Secretarial duties in general are taken up in this course. Letter writing, proper spacing, centering, writing checks, filling out drafts,cutting stencils, filing letters, writing telegrams and cablegrams, and preparing monthly statements are some of the many exercises required of the class. Bookkeeping has an enrollment of thirteen students: seven boys and six girls. The new state text,n2Oth Century,W was used for the first time in Parker High School this year. The text is a combination of bookkeeping and accounting. A work book was used in conjunction with the text in which the actual theory was applied. The students like this book as it contains the ruled forms for the various state- ments and accounts. gg re' S' .s fvg I L.li Z X A fig, fins m JI - ' - - Q a '-'I'QLixygg,?4:'f .

Although having several fine musicians, the band is composed largely of beginners. Only twenty-four members made the trip to the fair at Osawatcmie. About this time fourteen new uniforms were added to the wardrobe. A month later thirty-six members made a very attractive and outstanding showing on Kansas Day at the American Royal. Another exciting and eventful trip was to the Fort Scott Armistice Day celebration. Our band paraded in the mor'n:l.ng,gave an afternoon concert, paraded again at night,and drilled between halves of the Fort Scott and Osawatomie football game. Other appearances consist of' home football and basketball games, assemblies, special music for plays and progx-ams,concert, musical practice drills downtown, County Music Festival, District State Music Festival at Chanute, and Commencement. Hr. Anneberg also has another group of musicians in a junior band consisting of beginners from which he can get new members for the senior band. Also in this group of about twenty are several senior members who are learning to play another instrument. This will advance them in the world of musical lmovrledge. -an sf1g,f,iZ '-'PES-'M Y si A - - 'T' 22 Hd iiQv3'k'!- 'f5H'1 im' , '37 3EjfQ 'gk?k I .ffesii yi I iv, .,ff'f7' ' ,:gVjQEE?g- m e :gf rm I Q, W ' X Q., :S i , K It .A Q D .15 wif:- -.ffxh , fx .

Victories over Blue Mound and Hound City, a loss to LaCyig-ze and cancellation of the Pleasanton game left Parker in second place in the Linn County Football ague. Molmd City was defeated for a second time during the season in a non-league game. Parker began the football season without a number of the players that comprised the undefeated team of 1938. The lettermen on hand at the opening of school were Capt. Davey, Crisler, Holderman, Higginbottom, Keitel, Lee, Prentice, Traul, and Dalton Troutman. In the opening game at Garnett,Parker was not outplayed as bad as they were outscored. Garnett had an unusually good team and a loss to them was not a disgrace. The following week, Parker lost to Westphalia at Parker by the season's largest score 41 to 0. Westphalia had a veteran team, so the loss was not a surprise. This was Westphalla's first win over Parker for many years. Blue Mound came to Parker the next week for the first league game and went home on the small end of a 6 to 0 score.Parker scored in the first quartergafter that the teams played on even terms. At our next home game Wellsville took the measure of the Panthers by a lone touchdown, 6 to O. This score was made in the last quarter on a long pass. Louisburg repeated the previous weeks episode by completing a long pass in the last quarter to defeat Parker 6 to 0. llost of the game was played between the two 20 yard lines. The next week, Parker traveled to Hound City for the second league game of the season and left with a 19 to O victory. A number of substitutes were used by Parker in this game. Having several open dates before the Thanksgiving game, Parker scheduled Hound City for a non- league game. Hound City was defeated by the identical score of the first game, 19 to 0. Thanksgiving Day was a dreary day in more ways than one for Parker. First, it was very wet and muddy, as rain fell during most of the game. Second, Parker lost the game 52 to O and with it the County Championship. Third, La Cygne was the first county school to score on Parker in the two football seasons of 1938 and 1939. La Cygne was undefeated for the season having only six points scored against them.Parker stood many chances to score but each time was unlucky and the chance resulted in a touchdown. Parker was not out-played as badly as the soore might indicate. The following lettermen will graduates Capt., Davey, Holderman, Lee, Keitel, Povenmire, Tranl, Brovm, Prentice, Collins, and Smitheran. Other boys receiving numerals are Wright, Crieler, Dalton Troutman, Captain-Elect Higginbottcm, Smith, Hare, Drake, Delbert Troutmen, Merrill, Byerley, Jack Troutman, Stroup, llc Fadden and Light. Sidney Higginbottcm, a junior in school, was elected captain of the l940 football team.

BASKETBALL Coach Jilka began the basketball season without a letterman. Four juniors and one senior made up the first team with two seniors as substitutes. After losing the first four games, Parker recovered and won four straight league games. These with two forfeits from Pleasanton gave us six wins and a third place ranking in the Linn County League standing. Prospects for finishing high in the league next year are good as Parker has only one regular graduating while all of the other County schools lose heavily from their first team. Parker's decisive victory over LaCygne was a big up set in the County and it was almost re- peated at LaCyg1e. This defeat for LaCygne kept them from tying with Pleasanton for first place. In the County tournament Hound City was victorious by a 15 point margin over Parker in the first round. Pleasanton was winner of the tournamentg Prescott, runner-up and LaCygne captured the consolation game. Parker entered the Fulton District Tournament two weeks later and went down to defeat in the first game to the tall,versati1e Uniontown team. Uniontown was defeated by Pleasanton in the finals by a score of 25 to 56. The following boys lettered :ln basketballzlieitel, Franse, Dalton and Delbert Troutman, Wright, Prentice and Davey.

Only one letter winner, Traul, is back from last year's lettermen. Parker will enter th e county meet at Mound City on April 26 and several other meets with near-by schools. Last year with only five boys participa ting in track, Parker finished fourth, but only a few points below second place.
