The drama, The PCLl'SOWiCt'7I of 1920, is ready. This is the play that the Annual Staff wrote, that the English Department directed, that Mr. Piatt approved. It now awaits your criticism. We hope it will meet with your approval. If you are pleased with it-you can see it often. If you are displeased with it-it will be unpop- ular, censured, and forgotten. These are our sole comments.

President - - - - - - William Altimari Vice President - - - Helen Martin Secretary - - - - Edythe Franklin Treasurer - - - - - Chester Harrington SPONSORS Miss Agnes Engle Mr. Carl Hibbs In the fall of 1917 a large band of Pilgrims set out on a long journey through the land of High School Their aim was to reach the summit of the Mountain of Success. They had been told that by traveling over the Highway of Education which led through this land, they would find it less difficult to ascend the lofty peak. However, these Pilgrims had been warned that the journey would be arduous and that one must be ever on the alert or he would stumble over the Cobble stones of Neglected Lessons, or topple over some high cliff to be crushed on the jagged rocks of Failure. Though some of the Pilgrims doubted this assertion, most of them faced this journey with grim determination. During the first year of their journey they were called Freshmen by the rulers of the land The patriarchs, or Seniors, declared them to be quite worthy of this name The sun shone brightly for several weeks, and the refreshing breeze of excitement murmured through the trees of knowledge. The first six weeks had drawn to a close, the sky grew dark and cloudy, and soon IV s and V's seemed to pour from every direction upon many of the poor trav elers. It was quite discouraging to some, but after the mists had cleared away, the others struggled on with renewed energy. Thus they have traveled on and on until they have completed three years of the journey. They are now known as Juniors and have be come the pride of the land. However their number has greatly de creased, for just as predicted, many who were unable to withstand the severe tests of algebra, history, chemistry, and various other hardships have fallen by the wayside and have been left to recover before complet ing the journey. The greatest aspiration of the surviving Pilgrims is to follow faith fully their motto, Character is the only true diplomaf' -Edythe Franklin W In nv nu l jjlllllln ' i I f l Page 36 '-- -we--j Sophomores and Freshmen '- 10 l A Q- 552 N'fi 2m'4 PAB 5 O N MN ll 1 222 cz S S 0 f PRESIDENT - W I W Page 38 - VELMA SOWARD - MARGARET NEWTON - ELEANOR NASH MISS MORRIS IWISS VESTA SMITH MR.

CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT - ----- CLARENCE MARTIN VICE PRESIDENT - - MAXINE DANNENBAUM SECRETARY - - DENZIL MORNING TREASURER ------- NAOMI MACLAREN The oracles of fate are wisely sealed beyond the power of human signs to break. The future we cannot foretell. When a vessel starts forth we know not how, when, or where it will land. So it is with the 151 life boats that were launched September 5, 1919, as the Freshman Class of the Parsons High School. We can only hope and on the strength of these hopes foretell a safe and successful voyage over the high school life. At the beginning of the mid-winter term our already exceptionally large class was augmented by 67 new members. The addition swelled our number to 218 pupils, the largest and brightest class ever enrolled in the Parsons High School. Miss Bridger, Miss Kirk, Mr. Charles Piatt, and Mr. Rule, our spon- sors, deserve special mention for their readiness to help us over the first part of our voyage. We have distinguished ourselves in music and athletics. What would the orchestra and glee clubs be without the talent of the Fresh- men or the basket ball team without our president, Clarence Martin?

Perhaps in the Great Beyond I shall find what I have failed to find on earth. All my life I have worshipped Success, thinking to find Happiness her Companion. Blind, stumbling cynic that I was! All who have read my essays, reports, and books have pronounced me great. They are wrong. My work brings no joy into the heart or home. Rather it appeals to the scientific world which is, after all, a cold and un- sympathetic one. Mark ye, then. Seek not Success to find Happiness, for Success's Hall is empty.

The many people who ride in their aeroplanes daily or take week-end trips from continent to continent seldom think about their forefathers who lived in the years of 1900 to 1950. Indeed, few are even interested. But it is to a small group of these early people that we owe our progress. During the years from 1997 to 1999 much was done to discover the wonders of the early part of the twentieth century. Eliminating all the lesser genuises, we find that to a class of fifty persons, belongs the great honor of establishing the basis upon which our modern civilization is founded. When the coffins of these fifty people were unearthed, it was discovered that on the black cover of each was engraved the numbers 1-9-2-0. This puzzled the archae- ologists and even the most learned men were mystified. Then a young genius sug- gested that all the prisons be investigated, thinking that some of the cells might be numbered 1-9-2-0. Countless theories were advanced concerning the explanation of 1-9-2-0, each in its turn proving fallacious. At last some man whose name is unknown to history stated that 1-9-2-0 meant the year in which these fifty people were graduated from high school. His statement was ridiculed far and wide. Many satirical essays were written about this theoryg newspapers commented freely on it. This absurd statement furnished interesting material for the humorists of the age. Everyone laugh- ed, jeered, and mocked. But the learned men did not laugh, and after many heated debates and an inestimable amount of research work, this famous theory was authenti- cated. Great was the amazement of the general public. Indeed, it is very extraordinary that all these fifty celebrities to whom we owe our undying gratitude should have been graduated in the same class. l I I n u I ff,'--it Q ' fd. 1 as 2 -s L, :P QQ. I N ! 3 It is certain that many interesting facts concerning this class have been obscured by time. However after an incalculable amount of work a fairly accurate history of the class of 1920 has been compiled. These fifty renowned people entered high school in a class of about one hundred and fifty. Because they were small of stature, youthful, and unsophisticated they suffered unusual abuse and sarcasm which were thrust at them by their despotic upper classmen. The haughty Seniors asked the timid Freshmen if they had not entered the wrong building, mistaking the high school for the kindergarten. But these mocks and jeers could not disturb the calm spirits and peaceful thoughts of this class. They soon began to assail the forts of Wisdom, forgetting the tyrannical Seniors. The end of the year drew near. Many times was the pen dipped into the fatal red ink, and every student became tense with excitement-except the famous fifty. Some of the Fresh- men became desperate and left school. But the fifty with a tread of assurance passed the first crisis safely and became Sophomores. These unusual Sophomores early arrested the attention of the Faculty who decided to organize the class. Since they did not at first display brilliancy in high school ac- tivities, they were branded as stupid and unworthy of attending Parsons High School. Again by favor of the gods who are the guardians of talented youth, the fifty were spared from the dreadful scourge of the hated red ink. Thus they became Juniors. Because of their marvelous progress and originality the Juniors began to gain recognition. The Seniors consented to join the Juniors in a high school carnival. Later these good-natured Juniors decided to give the Seniors an elaborate banquet. In order to finance the banquet the Junior Pantages was planned. So great was their success that Mr. Ziegfield, of the Ziegfield Follies , obtained many of his ideas for the Follies of 1920 from this entertainment. For a third time Red Ink began her campaign. The sun frowned fiercely, the heavens thundered their omens, and all the earth trembled. But mark you! Provi- dence had again saved her favorite fifty from the frightful tortures of Madam Red Ink. And the third crisis was safely passed. As Seniors they were an admirable class. Never were they accused of tormenting lower classmen. Among their numerous activities the Seniors presented the Senior Carnival. As they did not care to have their novel ideas impersonated by such inferior actresses as Mary Pickford or Marguerite Clark, this time the doors were closed to all celebrated producers and movie directors. Toward the end of the year the lamentations of the lower classmen were heard, mourning the departure of the kind and benevolent Seniors. When this jolly class of fifty left the high school, many a heart gave vent to its emotions. 'tShall we ever again have such jovial and enlightened Seniors as our leaders? moaned a Freshman. Then quoth the entire school, Nevermore. Finally this class of 1920 left their first home into which they had brought peace, prosperity, and progress, journeying into the unexplored and distant ends of the earth.

Even while I am describing the happiness of others, the brightness of the sunshine is beginning to fade, and the laughter of children sounds dull in my ears. But this peerless class of 1920 was famed for more than the happiness which they spread broad- cast in the world. Each is distinguished for some extraordinary accomplishmernt. Read on and learn of the attainments of these celebrities. Tinder Woodburn was a noted astronomer. Thirteen times did this man prophesy that the world was coming to an end. No other man has created such a feeling of unrest and fear since Napoleon's time. The tragedy caused by Mildred Skelton is known to all. During her school life Dwight Leitnaker was deeply in love with this fair damsel. Because of his extreme youth Dwight often proved inconstant in his love affairs. Once while he was courting another maid, with whom he supposed himself in love, the dainty Mildred Skelton mar- ried Dwight's rival. His life was blightedg Mildred's was full of joy and sunshine. Bea Drucile Brown, Thelma Lynd, and Bessie Thorn conducted a correspondence school which sent weekly pamphlets to its patrons on How to Make Dashing Proposals. All the fortunes and futures that you have received at Hallowe'en parties were written by Arlene Adamson. Regina Corbett, Gladys Peaslee, and Gladys Hull have long been remembered for their successful experiments with antitoxins and counteracting serums. Frank Murphy was world famous for the rapidity with which he chewed gum. He was employed by Barnum and Bailey Circus, Where he stood nightly in the ring, hand on hip, head thrown back, chewing gum fast and furiously amid the mirthful roar of the crowd.. Fae Bass and Kathrine McGlasson were owners of the Blue Moon Cafe in Kansas City. Lorraine Ellis, a talented musician, founded the College of Music at Chicago, Illinois. A course at this college takes the place of an education which artists formerly received abroad. Lucille Hudson, Maude Long, and Helen Comboy were expert telephone operators, never giving the patrons cause for complaint. AQQQAMM. U I .

No character was ever found which she could not mimic. Hazel Wilkinson became famous as a criminal lawyer. Many a felon has escaped the electric chair through the help of this cunning barrister. Gilberta Woodruff has never been surpassed as a talented actress. She took the leading role in the Shakespearian play, Anthony and Cleopatra . Humanity is greatly indebted to Myer Freshman who did exceptionally heoric work as a life-saver on a Californian beach. Ethel Hassinger and Ruth Dearth, distinguished musicians of this class, composed a violin solo entitled Come to Me, I've Waited Long for You . This won for them their husbands who were their childhood sweethearts. Roy Crawford was an explorer who tried to find the North Pole. After several years of hardship his labors were unrewarded. He is the only one of the explorers who, though unsuccessful in discovering what he set out for, had the rare courage to admit his failure. Margaret White was an excellent cook and discovered that good husbands could be won by a girl who could cook well. Accordingly she wrote a receipe book entitled The Way to a Man'-s Heart . This book has been industriously studied by maidens who are endeavoring to win good husbands. Carl Devore, an adventurous youth, became captain of the Pacific Fleet. , Marguerite Doughman is well known by her ability to stay out of classes. All holidays and vactions were originated by this woman. Ellis Ledbetter, an excellent solo dancer, was very popular in his time. He danced in all the large cities of the United States and in most of the courts of Europe. Elizabeth Noyes was employed by the Chinese officials as a tax collector for the province of Manchuria. No one could evade this stern collector. Often men were haunted by the omnipresent vision of Elizabeth Noyes demanding Money, Money, Money! Mary Martin has endeared herself to all law-abiding citizens by her work as a speed cop. Our present speed cop system is in a large measure a result of her strenu- ous labors. Thelma Lanham at one time held the world's record for around the world aerial races. Dorothy Daigh was a prominent writer of popular songs. Her best work is called The Raven fpronounced Rave-onl. Cecile Murphy was a capable worker with the Red Cross in the devastated coun- tries of Asia. Ruth Maclean was a United States Senator. She excelled in long debates and filibustering. 4 -11 J Ilfl1v 4 5 s r Lg W nj .5 I D ,V Page 53 AC' ljx Page 'lp' gin -L , ' 'Il' - I ' 9 UTD' Winifred Barker, a well known landscape gardener, was employed by many cap- italists to beautify their estates. James Wheat began the use of Slang. No other person could speak this language with such ease and fluency. All those who express their ideas in this language should pay tribute to this man. Marjorie Cheesman directed a ladies' orchestra which played at the Waldorf- Astoria. Lynn Springer, a noted King of Commerce, was one of America's wealthiest men. His fortune was amassed by his splendid knowledge of finance, his diplomacy, and ir- restible laugh. The Winsome Alberta Smith was a notorious thief. Hold, readers, before your imagination suggests what this maiden stole. She only wanted hearts, and these she stole with such success that the most wily sirens were alarmed. Arlo Moore chanced to travel through Russia. As a result she wrote a narrative entitled Life of a Bolshevik. Her vivid descriptions give us a clear idea of those rude people. Catherine Riley perfected giggling. This sport continues in favor even in these advanced times. The petite Harriet Gregory when still quite young, fell desperately in love with the manly Bob Wharton. After a year of courtship Bob became stoop-shouldered, as a result of gazing into Harriet's dreamy eyes and whispering sweet nothings into hex- ear. Harriet, realizing the annoyance of her small stature, resolved to better mat- ters. Being somewhat of a chemist she concocted a combination of substances which caused her to grow tall. But alas, an over-dose resulted in her sylph-like frame towering over her erstwhile stalwart Robert. Hulda Norrick and Marguerite Nash were owners of a factory which manufac- tured Ford aeroplanes. The beautiful story of Otto Lain's devotion has long been a favorite tradition. But while his sweetheart was at college, she fell in love and married. Otto became des- perate and decided to abandon society and become a hermit. Each day for one hour this good man sat beneath the mournful trees, dreaming of the happy romance of days gone by, a worthy example of true devotion. Raymond Martin was a world renowned novelist of the early twentieth century. His best novel is True Love which is based on the author's actual experience. Mildred Ayres, Hope Davis, and Carol Hales are popularly known as The Three Marvels of the Secret Service. No mystery was too deep or anarchial plot too com- plicated for these women to solve. The beautiful Jean Maser was a designer of exclusive gowns. Her originality surpassed that of Lucille and Erte.

The modern college 9' course on 'tHow to Hate Women owes its origin to Professor Leay Prideaux. X As for Mildred Danncnbaum, she met a very sad fate. Not long after her gradu- f ation she sailed for the South Sea Islands to teach the natives the art of slinging ink. No one has been able to give a further account of her life. It is feared that she was a victim of the cannibals. This class of 1920 was a miracle of miracles. The fact that each member became renowned according to his or her special talents is marvelous. That all of these geniuses were graduated from Parsons High School in the same class is an event which is unparalled in history.

Don't fail to bring the kiddies to the Senior carnival to see the zoo with its curious types of animal life! Boys, be sure to see the Sultan's Harem with its beautiful girls! The full meaning of the word mysterious can be appreciated after wandering through the Mysterious Cave. Gasp at the beautiful snake-charmer as she flirts with death, winding the huge poisonous reptiles around her! Learn your future! Told by Madame Rafia. A Obtain the particulars of your future wife or husband at the Matrimonial Post- office. By all means visit the Fashion Show! The newest creations from Paris designed by Poiret! The most novel play in existence, Defeat , will be staged. Ice cream cones, hot dogs, and other good eatablcs will be sold. Such were the lurid advertisements that aroused the curiosity of the townspeople, and early in the evening, throngs of people crowded the high school. It was scarcely recognizable, so great was the change since the afternoon. Rooms were transform- ed. Tents arranged in the gymnasium lent an air of mystery to the atmosphere, and tantalizing odors from the kitchen called the crowd. The drawn curtain in the audi- torium was the very symbol of silence-which knows all, but tells nothing. The first attraction which lured those seeking adventure was the Mysterious Cave, managed by Carl Devore and Leay Prideaux. A Jazz Band led the crowd far- ther into the building. Only by artists such as Margaret White, Arlo Moore, Mar- guerite Doughman, Mildred Dannenbaum. and Thelma Lanham could such sounds be obtained from mere instruments! On the first floor was the movie show, cleverly managed by Lynn Springer and Tinder Woodburn. Probably the most curious of the animals in the zoo was the copperhcad-a penny! All these animals were captured by Gladys Hull and Bea D. Brown. the only women who have braved the wilds in search of queer animals. The Fashion Show. managed by Hazel Wilkinson, proved very en- joyable and instructive to those desiring the latest creations.

Many inquiries for mail came to the prtty postmistress, Ar- lene Adamson, in charge of the Matrimonial Postoffiee. The cat shooting gallery, managed by James Wheat, was exceedingly popular, for there were many who wished to exhibit their ability as marksmen to little brother or best girl. The fish pond guarded by Ethel Hassinger and Maud Long was an at- traction. To the youngsters a delight was the slippery slide. Many were surprised to discover Lucile Hudson as the sleeping beauty. Such shudders as passed through the crowd when the snake eharmer, Marjorie Cheesman, coiled about her the squirm- ing reptiles. Bea Drucile Brown as Madame Rafia, relieved the minds of many by foretelling their futures. The ticket sellers were Gilberta Woodruff. Ellis Ledbteter, Winifred Barker, Lorraine Ellis, Mildred Skelton, Miss Bridger, and Miss Nora Smith.

Dwight Leitnaker, Thelma Lanham, Dorothy Daigh, and Otto Lain, with the assistance of the sponsors of the senior class, Miss Campbell and Mr. Nielsen. The purpose of this carnival was to obtain funds to help defray the expenses of the 1920 Parsonian. The net proceeds were two hundred and twenty-five dollars. -Elizabeth Noyes.

For weeks preceding the event the girls of the class worked conscientiously making doilies, kitchen apron s, tea aprons, lingerie, handkerchiefs, and crocheted yokes. The doll corner was an attractive feature with dolls of all sizes and descriptions. Quantities of pies, cakes, canned fruit, pickles, salad, and cookies were quickly sold, but these were not more popular than the home-made candy. The proceeds totaled approximately one hundred dollars. A donation of canned fruit, olives, and candy from the Senior class was greatly appreciated. A greater part of the success of the bazaar was due to the excellent supervision by the sponsors, Miss Engel and Mr. Hibbs. Junior Kid Party U If one had happened to enter the high school gymnasium on the night of January 23, he would have thought he was witnessing a child's party. In reality it was only the dignified Juniors forgetting for the moment their studies and cares. The girls and boys were dressed to represent small children. The girls, in short dresses, and fluffy ribbons, the boys in knickerbockers white blouses, and little red bow ties. The gymnasium was beautiful in its decorations of yellow and White, the Junior colors. A slippery slide was placed at one end of the room and a rope swing afforded much enjoyment for the guests. Such games as Drop the Handkerchiefv and Farmer in the Dell were played. Gaily colored balloons added merriment to the occasion. The refreshments consisted of ice cream cones, animal cookies, and all-day suckers. An added pleasure was the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Carl G. Hibbs and little daughter, and Miss Engel. The affair was declared to be the greatest social success of the school year. -San-ada, M zu-lm. Wm.

The commanders, Mr. Nielsen and Miss Camp- bell, mustered the forces, and with the provisions started for the camp- ing ground. The commanders of the Junior forces ordered Private Foster Sly to observe the movements of the Seniors. Sly followed the Senior troops to their camping ground, then returned to town to report to his general. Just as the Seniors were about to break camp, one of the privates. who was on police duty, was attacked by the entire Junior army, which had been reenforced by the alumni. The Seniors, hearing the noise, formed a rescuing party, and rushed to the aid of their comrade. They succeeded in routing the Juniors. After some hesitation the Seniors decided to follow, and attack the enemy from the rear. Unseen by the Junior forces, the Seniors were able to come within hearing distance of the enemy's camp. The Juniors were overheard planning a new surprise attack. Just as the Junior army was marching back to renew their offensive, the Seniors jumped out from their hiding places and a fierce hand-to-hand encounter followed. After fifteen minutes of fighting the enemy retreated, leaving the Seniors in possession of Hull's Grove. Neither side gained a very de- cided victory, each having an equal number of casualties.

The orchestra played var.. ious popular tunes, the curious audience fumbled with programs, and the ushers in their costumes of dark dresses, white aprons, and caps hurried here and there. Behind the scenes came the call, 'tOn for the first act, and the curtain rose slow- ly on a beautiful scene-a country home in the summertime. A murmur of approval ran over the audience and gave those on the stage fresh encouragement. From the first speech the act went through without a mistake, and as the curtain descended the members of the Senior class, who before had been skeptical, now arose and gave fifteen rahs for the Juniors. The play was already a success. John Willet Amos North Mrs. Carroll Kate ..... Wanda --- Hank .... Shiny ....

Each character was well fitted for the part. Kathryn Saylor as Kate was de- lightful and proved herself to be a very talented actress. Cecil Hyler took the part of Wanda, Kate's half-sister, and was highly praised for excellent characterization. Gene Bailey as leading man played his part exceptionally well. Roy Mears made an admirable villain, and was entitled to his many congratulations. Harold Chapman was a good darky, and pleased the audience with his unusual dancing. Victor Pringle as Hank was a laugh-provoker. Sarada Murlin did justice to the part of Mrs. Car- roll, and Opal Davis was pleasing as Miss Page. Maude McAdams played the part of Sally Webb and won the first applause. Opal Bolander was an ideal college girl. Alice Cory, Laura Adams, and Love Joy Barrett were equally good. The Juniors were fortunate in securing the cooperation of many business firms. being greatly indebted to Lambert and Duffy, Kansas Electric Utilities Company, and the White Furniture Store. The Elks Theatre loaned the greater part of the scenery. The business manager for the play was Chester Harringtong stage manager, Homer Sourbeerg property man, Delbert Emery, musical director, William Altimari. The orchestra, which was composed mostly of Juniors, was complimented for the splendid music. Miss Agnes Engel was largely responsible for the success of the play, and the class was indeed fortunate in having such an able director. Mr. Carl Hibbs deserves much praise and thanks for his untiring efforts. Miss Nell Fergusson also helped coach the players.

The Seniors entertained with one of the most successful affairs of its kind ever given. Much credit is due to the untiring Work of our sponsors, Miss Campbell and Mr. Nielsen. The first suggestion of early Kansas to greet the visitor was the sign Independence Landing . Here the travelers experienced the thrills of a never-to-be-forgotten trip over the Santa Fe Trail. Of course after a long and wearisome journey the travelers were very hungry. This need was provided for by Margaret White and her capable assist- ants. Other notable features of the evening's entertainment were: an old fashioned literary society, the hair-raising Harum-Scarum Indians, Car- rie Nation, a Kansas Exposition, and Historical Relics. The climax of the evening's fun was reached by the presentation of the following program in the auditorium. SCENE I. Night in Early Kansas. SCENE II. Bender Mound Scene. CAST Kate .... - .........

As the guests mingled in the artistically decor- ated gymnasium, each trying to discover the identity of the other, many varied and clever costumes were displayed. The prize, a kewpie, for the cleverest individual costume, was pre- sented to William Altimari, president of the Junior class. Mildred Skel ton and Dwight Leitnaker, representing kids received a jumping-jack for the most cleverly dressed couple. During the evening the guests enjoyed playing Flying Dutchman Thunder, Mental Telepathy, Barnyard, and Fortune Telling. In the Easter egg hunt, Delbert Emery was awarded the prize, an Easter rab bit, for finding the most eggs. At the close of the evening hot chocolate, sandwiches, and home made candy were served by the girls of the Senior class from an appro- priately decorated booth. The chaperons for the evening were the sponsors of the Senior and Junior classes, Miss Campbell, Miss Engel, Mr. Nielsen, Mr. and Mrs Hibbs. cj. -.Ivan Maser. sfvf: . s .' -.u1uu,, 'ns .

This popular organization has often been used throughout the country as an advertise- ment for this city. That people appreciate the music department oz the high school is proved by the fact that the Chamber of Commerce and the City Federation of Women's Clubs have done all in their power to raise money for its benefit. Last year many musical critics declared that the orchestra of the Parsons High School ranked second in the United States. With daily practice under their competent director, Mr. McCray, any musical or- ganization must progress, and with such talent as the thirty-eight mem- bers of our orchestra possess their advancement is necessarily rapid. After they have played the Second Hungarian Rhapsody at the State and Tri-State contests this spring, We are confident that critics Will pro- claim them first. -Gifllwrta lVoo1I'r'2fff. 9 -'1 lIJv 4 7 'A e Page 77 E fn fad?

When Shakespeare wrote this famous line he meant that in this grand old world of ours, there were two distinct classes of great people. But today we take the liberty of applying this quotation to one group- the Girls' Glee Club of the Parsons High School. At the birth of this organization the members found themselves famous, for had they not fallen heir to the enviable musical reputation of the Parsons schools? This inspired them with determination to suc- ceed. Ability, energetic vvork, good nature, and a willingness to serve have enabled them to stand the test, and when and wherever they have appeared, success has been theirs. Because they are Parsons High School girls, because they are the Glee Club girls, and because they have done their part toward upholding our musical standard, We praise them and call them great. -Gilberto, Woodruff.

The annual tourna- ment, beginning May 1, was held on the high school courts. Russel Pul- cher was the victor in the single entries. He defeated William Gillispie in the finals by the score of 6-4, 6-2, 6-3. Layton Beamer and Russell Pulcher drew the big end of the score against Dwight Leitnaker and Lynn Springer in the double entries, the score being 6-3, 6-1, 6-2. Individual loving cups were awarded the winners of the tourna- ment. The tennis enthusiasts seem to be more plentiful this year. Now that the city's new clay courts are ready, the 1920 tournament promises to be even more interesting. -Lynn Springer. EMT . PY Q QL . Page 92 1 ar 'i .'N'53i 6-ga-V 'lx PA R S O N l A N ill?

We know that our glee clubs did their best, and all cannot win. We are proud of our orchestra, doubly proud-not only because they won first place, but also because the Second Hungarian Rhapsody is one of the heaviest pieces in orchestra work.
