VVe knew nothing of the ethics of high school life. True, we had very faint ideas about how dignified the upperclassmen were. But we were Freshmen. We didn't care how dignified the Seniors were or how many we happened to crowd in the halls. During the entire year we were gay, carefree, and knew nothing concerning banquets of which so many talked. There were two notable events of this year. They were parties where all enjoyed themselves immensely while the Sub-Freshmen looked on with awe. What a difference a few months make in boys and girls at this age! In the fall, after vacation, we came to school as full-fledged Sophomores. Instead of caring nothing of upperclassrnen, we stood in awe of them. We tried to imitate them, yes, we even studied hard that we, too, might be called Juniors, and maybe, after a long, long time, Seniors. For our leader that year we chose Helen Malott. Our sponsors were Miss Frances Skinner and Mr. George Wells. To break the monotony of school life, we staged a skip day Qafter schoolj. This was a very gala occasion, and the Seniors said that we would be in good practice for our Senior Skip Day. These days weren't to last forever. At last after a year of anxious waiting, of hard study, we were-Juniors. Oh! the spell that word casts over a Sophomore. Our dreams had become a realization. We determined to show the school the stuff of which we were made. That year Lyman Mosher was elected president, and Miss Luella Pilkington and Mr. W. R. Nation, sponsors. With these three as leaders, and the entire class as cooperators in the truest sense of the word, we sped through a year filled with friendly class fights and other pleasing events. All activities of the Junior year pointed to one star, the Junior-Senior Banquet. The play, Adam and Eva , was a huge success and made possible the banquet. This was our greatest undertaking so far and it was a complete success. Both the Juniors and Seniors exclaimed enthusiastically over it. And now we are Seniors, Bill Koch as President, Mr. Allen Piatt, Miss Lenore Thompson, and Miss Kittie Phelps, sponsors, have successfully guided our steps through our last year. We gave the Senior Carnival and it was a grand success, both socially and financially. This Carnival was new in every respect and received the endorsement of all Parsons. VVe have given a play, which was well received. And lastly, the class of '26 has published this Yearbook, which we think has been the greatest mark of our Senior year in high school. We have completed the school activities. The Class of '26 has entered and departed from the school life of Parsons. Some of us will take up our life work now, others will go further in the field of learning, ever seeking the truth. But whatever we do in the future, we sincerely hope that the Seniors of 1926 have set a goal for the other classes to strive to attain as the years go by. -Bonita Gehring, '26. ..a..g..,..s.a. .4-.. ..a...:a.. .-..a...1926..........-......-..-..-.....-......-.....-..- - - - - -,.-..- - - - - .....PARsoN1AN---- - --n-n-- -----M-A-----I 4. ... ... .. .

C lifton Daines ' VT JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY 3 In the fall of 1923, two groups of clever, happy-go-lucky boys and girls met at L the Junior and Senior High Schools, to organize as the two Freshmen classes. They chose as their guides for that year, Clifton Dains and Fred Randall. During the year many difficult problems arose but all of these were successfully overcome I and the end of the year found the classes victorious and with records of which to be Q' proud. During the year, the Freshmen at Junior High had a party and a play, which were very successful, while the West-siders held a Halloween party and a hike. f The old saying, East is East and West is West but never the twain shall meet 5 has been quoted many times but it did not apply to the Sophomore Class that met at : old P. H. S. the following fall. The two alien groups united and established as their goal, acknowledged far and wide as the most distinguished class in all activities that ever went out of the doors of old P. H. S. into the field of life. Clifton Dains H very efficiently led the class to victory that year, and it was through his efforts that I the trail to the goal was blazed. E V Although the class decreased in number at the beginning of this year, the old spirit and desire to reach the goal, which was with them, as Sophomores, seemed to H increase. They chose Fred Randall as their president because of his excellent l executive ability. Much of their success is due also to their sponsors, Miss Mary I Scott and Mr. Arley Riggs. The Junior play, Safety First, was a huge success, for the members of the cast showed unusual talent. The proceeds derived from the play were used for the greatest event of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet. Thus this remarkable class of '27 has approached the end of its third year in P. H. S. and the object of its desire and Search is clearly in sight. A . -Mildred Cunningham, '27. ....-.. .... .........-......-.............1 9 2 6...-.. ..... ..-.....................-. -..-......i.

Scott The class of '28 has been divided as have been several preceeding classes. During their Freshman year part attended East Junior High and part attended old Senior High, now West Junior High School. Mrs. Sallie Shaffer was sponsor of the east side group, and Miss Leeta Scott and Mr. J. H. Koontz were sponsors of the west side group. The east side group chose Maurice Pownell for their president While the west side group elected Alvin Rhodes. Don't stare up the steps of opportunity, but step up the stairs, was the motto of the east side class. This class enjoyed a kid party on March 31. The other class had a picnic in the spring. Captain Bob was presented by the east side Freshman class. This class with the class of the previous year, of which Fred Randall was presi- dent, presented a trophy case to East Junior High School at their class day program, May 22, 1924. An excellent program was arranged. Principal H. C. Rule gave the parting address. The Freshmen, although they left Junior High sorrowfully, looked eagerly forward to days in the splendid new building in companionship with the west side class. -Maxine Dennis '28. uginil 'I' I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I --P PARSONIAN - --.- - -1-- -1 92 6--.------- PARSONIAN -------1 926--..-W PABSONIAN ..,.-,..-1 Q2 f3..,,-. ...

The first prize won by the organization was at Independence, Kansas, in 1917. Since that time it has won many prizes and honors for the High School. The success of this organization is due to the efforts of the director, Mt. Charles S. McCray, the cooperation of the school and the board of education, the help given by the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club of this city. Director .......................... . . .... Charles S.

H. Koontz, and Mr. Allen Piatt, and by Mr. J. M. Mason as business manager, was shown by the results of the several debates. The debate coaches gave their very best to make the season a successful one. Their efforts were well rewarded by the wonderful cooperation of the debate team. The affirmative team consisted of Isabel Edelen, Mary Leonard and Robert Kelley. The negative team was composed of Esther Tye, Marguerite Finical, Cleora McClain. The alternates on the team were Edith Cotten, Harold Donnelly, and Donald Maupin. Everyone on the debate team exerted himself to the utmost of his ability to win each debate for Parsons High School, and all deserve great credit for their labor. All of our debaters gave interesting, intelligent, convincing talks which were the results of the ardent labor throughout the year. The debate question was: Resolved, that the proposed Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution should be adopted. This was a topic of interest to everyone. Many worthy arguments were discovered and expounded by our team both pro and con. In the first triangle that was debated between Parsons, Iola, and Chanute, Iola won. In the second triangle between Fort Scott, Pittsburg, and Girard, Pittsburg was victorious. There was also a debate between Columbus and Cherokee, in which Cherokee was the winner. Then Parsons debated Pittsburg, Cherokee, and Iola. Iola won and thus became the winner of the Southeastern Kansas league.

Miss Margaret Smith, instructor of the public speaking department coached That's One on Bill. THE CAST WAS AS FOLLOWS Uncle Jimmie, a young bachelor ....................... Ralph Raymond Bill Haily, his nephew ........... . . .Harold Creighton Battling Bennie Bozo, a pugilist ..... ...... R obert Kelly Harry Dover, Lil's 'fiancee ............. .... K enneth Knox Ned Collins fPuH'yj, too rich to work ....... ............ E ddie Owens Patricia Niles, Patricia Pansy La Gloria ............... Edith Cotten Lillian Haily, the Strategist ............. .... I-I arry Elizabeth Ratner Mabel Allen, Uncle's choice for Bill ..... ........... P auline Davis Mrs. Haily, Lil and Bill's Mother .... .... D orothy McVey Rosie, the maid ..................................... Gladys Morrow The plot was quite intriguing as Bill objected to his young Uncle Jimmie's matchmaking. Lil thinks that by using strategy she can cause Bill to fall in love with Mabel, uncle's choice. Uncle Jimmie has promised to leave part of his fortune to Bill if he will marry as instructed, and part of it to a prize-fighter, Bennie Bozo, if Bennie remains unmarried. Lil plots with her friend, Patricia, and the latter visits the Haily home in the guise of a motion picture star. Pat loses no time in ensnaring the hearts of all the boys in the vicinity, including Lillian's fiancee. Bill becomes so infatuated with Pat that he takes money from Uncle J immie's trunk to make an impression on the Movie Queen. When the theft is discovered by the comical Rosie, Mab pleads guilty to save Bill. Pat skillfully saves the situation, but by this time Bill is not so enamored with the dashing visitor, and remorsefully begins to appreciate Mab. After punishing Bill sufhciently, by pretending to love Puffy, Mabel confesses that she returns Bill's love, and they are in the Seventh Heaven of Delight. Lillian forgives Harry for falling for Patricia, and their little quarrel is delightfully patched up. In the meantime Patricia, against the advice of the gentle Mrs. Haily, announced that she is going to marry Battling Bennie Bozo. This arrangement is decided against his wishes also. But Patricia has confessed her identity to Uncle Jimmie, and to the great astonishment of the rest they announce their engagement. So-in the usual way, and in 'the usual words are said the usual les mots finissant --They all lived happily ever afterwards. It was due largely to Miss Margaret Smith, coach, Mr. Allen Piatt and Miss Kittie Phelps, class sponsors, efforts that the Senior play was so enthusiastically received by the audience. Lyman Mosher, general manager, Richard Haynes, stage manager, William Koch, property man, Harry Immich, electrician, Lucille Smith, costumer, should be given much credit in making the play an achievement.

The curtain of the East Junior High auditorium is rising for the first act of one of the most successful plays staged in the last few years. The audience's sympathy is immediately secured by the weeping young wife, Mabel Mont- gomery, portrayed so admirably and realistically by Frances Neal Dienst. Mrs. Montgomery's peace of mind is not soothed by the direful tales which the new cook relates to her on the subject of what might happen to missing husbands. Genevieve Bero plays the part of the Irish cook very well, indeed. Mrs. Montgomery's lamentations are caused by the inexplicable overnight absence of her husband, Jack Montgomery, so commendably played by Cecil Peter- son. Dick Chapin, who interprets the part of Elmer Flannel so well, appears on the scene in search of Jack, his cousin. Elmer informs Mabel that he is in love with Zuleika, a Turkish maiden. This part is taken very cleverly by Georgia Lampson. Mabel's lively young sister, played very skillfully and peppily by Virginia Dannenbaum, entersl and is told that her fiancee, Jerry Arnold, who is Jack's pal, is also missing. Ted Crandall plays the part of the young suitor very successfully. Jack and Jerry were visiting Zuleika to persuade her not to marry Elmer Flannel. They are all arrested and sentenced to thirty days in jail. The men tell that they are going by boat to Florida for a Shriner's convention, in order to avert the wrath of the girl's mother. Mrs. Barring-Bridger. This part is interpreted by Gladys Billings extremely well. The men leave-supposedly for a pleasure trip but in reality they go to jail. ACT II. A Word is received by Mabel and Virginia that Jack and Jerry are missing from the ship and are supposedly drowned. The young widow and near-widow mourn very greatly the death of Jack and Jerry. When the jail sentence expires the men return to find they must. explain how they escaped drowning. They manage quite well, until a detective, Mr. McNutt, played, unusually well by John Rever, appears and tells Mrs.,Bridger that Zuleika was with Jack and Jerry. Mrs. Bridger influences Mabel to leave Jack and return home. In the meantime, the fond parent of Zuleika, Abou Ben Mucha, is terrorizing the household by attempting to learn the whereabouts of his daughter. -Clifford Kelly steps into the part of the Terrible Turk very well, indeed. ACT III. .- Jack Montgomery persuades his own wife to elope with him, but Hnds that in the dark- ness he is leaving with the cook. This complicated matters for a while. ln the meantime Jerry is disguised as McNutt and tells Mrs. Bridger that Jack and Jerry were in jail and did not elope with the Turkish girl. Mrs. Bridger is finally convinced and allows Mabel to go back to her husband-and approves the engagement of Virginia and Jerry. Elmer- intro- duces his wife, Zuleika, as a former baroness and wins Mrs. Bridger's approval. Marv Ann O'Finnery is reconciled to McNutt. And thus ends the list of those who lived happily ever afterward. T Mrs. Bernal, nee Miss Myrtle Rendon, deserves great credit for her excellent and faithful work in coaching the play cast. Miss Mary Scott and Mr. Riggs, who are the Junior class sponsors, gave valuable assistance to the cast. WVith such a capable coach, helped so gener- ously by the class sponsors, it is no wonder that Safety First was a great success. Credit should be given to the following committees, who helped make the play 'a success: Business: Isabelle Edelen, and Herbert James, Stage and Properties: Robert Lareau, and Fleming Chapmang Concessions:Mildred Cunningham, Nedra Stewart, Evelyn Carter, Donald Maupin, and Melvin Reynolds, Ushers: Isabelle Thomas, Maurice Melone, and Virginia Reuthingerg Music: Jean Bender, Harry Rhinehart and Merle McGinnis. -Ilarry Elizabeth Ratner '26, 1 -, 1 1 ,: i: lxi: 4:1 y 1 Z 1, Z:,,1....1 9 26-I-u.-.111up-an-an-n-:run-111'I-'lil'-- 1W1 ' EDVVARD XVICSTHOFF PARSONIAN-----w --------- - - ORATION CONTEST Tl1e Parsons representative in the South- east Kansas oratorical contest this year was Edward Westhofif. His oration, entitled The Constitution, won third place. The contest was held at Girard, March 16. Parsons High School was proud of its repre- sentative in the contest this year. His ora- tion shows much promise for the future, this was Edward's first contest experience. The oration was well given and Edward deserves praise for his oration for it was surely a credit to P. H. S. There were five entries in the contest, Cha- nute, Girard, Pittsburg, Fort Scott and Par- sons. Pittsburg won first place and Chanute second place. Miss Ross, of the public speaking depart- ment of the University of Kansas, judged the contest. -Harry Elizabeth Ratner, '26 DECLAMATION CONTEST Parsons High School was well represented in the declamation contest by Doris Denise De Jarnette. The contest was held at Fort Scott on March 16. VVhy Scheffer Did Not Play was the reading used. That Doris interpreted this dramatic selection extremely well, and that great credit should be given Doris for her sincere effort to win for Parsons high school was the belief of Principal E. F. Farner, who attended the contest. Columbus, Cherokee, Pittsburg, Fort Scott, Parsons, Chanute and Girard were entries in the interscholastic declamation contest. First place was won by Columbus, second by Cherokee, third by Pittsburg. Miss Hoffman of Horner Institute, Kansas City, was judge for the contest. Miss Margaret Smith, instructor in public speaking, supervised the local contest from which the representative was selected. -Ifarry Elisabeth Ratner, ,26 - - .... .... .. ....-......-........ ... -.......1 926...

Matt Peasley, the would-be ship owner secured finances from Golda Glake, alias Florence Ricks, who is her father's stenographer at that time, in order to operate a ship building industry called The Red Diamond. Many complications and humorous situations arise from the in- vestment of Cappy Rick's daughter in a ship building industry, never- theless, Matt Peasley wins not only his right to own great ships, but -Cappy's daughter. The success of the play was made possible by the efficient coach- ing of Miss Margaret Smith.

The Romancers, a short play was the principal number of the program given November 3 at 8 p. m., at the Junior high school auditorium. Sylvette, the shy, sweet heroine was cleverly impersonated by Mrs. Rendon-Bernal, and Percinet, the dashing blonde hero, was portrayed by Mr. Luther Eddy. Mr. Eddy's art of love making over a garden wall was well mastered. Principal E. F. Farner, in the role of Pasquinot, the stern father of the heroine, was the lifelong enemy of the father of the hero. Berganin Cplayed by Mr. J. M. Masonj but proved his talent for the authoritative fact by the manner in which the dainty heroine obeyed. No play would be complete without a villain. This bold daring character Cplayed by Mr. G. C. Scott in flaming crimsonj appeared in the second act to kidnap tl1e little heroine in order that her lover might rescue her and in this way secure her father's consent to their marriage. The plan succeeded and the two old enemies shook hands over the garden wall. The play was enacted on a background of the era of Louis XVI. Perhaps the feature most amusing to the student body was the appearance of the teachers in the short waist coats, long tights and large hats generously adorned with long plumes. A ladies' trio composed of Mrs. K. G. Hoag, Miss Helen Bartlett and Miss Nora Smith afforded an enjoyable number on the program. A A men's quartette composed of Prin. E. F. Farner, Coach Steve Hinshaw, Mr. H. C. Levan and Mr. Iver N. Nelson sang a few selections. Y An instrumental baritone solo, Longing For Home, was played by Mr. Iver N. Nelson. The proceeds of the entertainment were placed in a treasury for incidental expenses of the school. ------------------1926----m-------------- 1 1-1 '-H-- 1 1 - - - - --- --lv - - -1-- - --'- - ---- PARSONIAN- ---- - 1-A- - 1-1- -- ---- --- - - -- --- 1 Q M X 5 Q I 6 Y' 7 in X f Q gagffegj Q-2-E2 um ggi? .. - , -...... - -..-.,-...1 925-..-..-...- -..-.-..-.....-..-..........

About three hundred and fifty people were present. The theme of the banquet was the crossword puzzle and the idea was carried out uniquely. The walls of the room were decorated to represent a crossword puzzle. On each table was a large basket of flowers tied with different colored tulle bows. The invitations and programs also carried out the idea by having a crossword puzzle printed on them. Cups were made from crossword puzzle paper and dolls, dressed in black and white, given as favors. The rest of the decorations were ferns and flowers placed about the room. The Juniors entertained with the following program: Lyman Mosher ............................ Toastmaster Trio'.Mrs. C. H.

The successful advertising done by Bill Koch, Ralph Raymond, and their assistants together with the Senior parade, brought out the biggest crowd ever attending the Carnival. Lyman Mosher had charge of the main show. The main feature of the entertainment was a play, Who Kissed Barbara, presented by the public speaking class and coached by Mrs. Rendon-Bernal. Another special number was music by the Imperial Seven. The Col- legiate Chorus and the Pirate Dance were other numbers. There were fourteen side shows. Pauline Davis and George Mears were chairmen of the side shows and they certainly did justice to this phase of the Carnival. Some of the side shows were: Maur- ice's Mystery Show, The Bugg House, The Athletic Show, The Terrapin Race, The Game of Skill, The Dog Races, and the Bridal Scene. Other places of entertainment were: The Fish Pond, Horse Show, and A Trip Through Hades. The Apache Den and The Eng- lish Garden were two of the most frequented places. Music and refreshments were not lacking. There were two bands, one on each floor. Glenn Garber had charge of the music. Ruth Kerr was chairman of the concession committee and the crowd was supplied with popcorn, candy, ice cream, pop, and chewing gum from numerous booths. Bonita Gehring was general manager and Ralph Raymond was business manager. Many of the ideas and the organization of the Carnival were made by the Senior sponsors, Miss Lenore Thompson .and Mr. Allen Piatt.

The interest manifested in Spanish is due partly to the interest and instructive programs given for the benefit of the members of the divisions. -Ellen Austin, '26. --------..-..-..,1925...-..------..--- ' at-are - - - - - - .. .-I..-...pAR50N1AN...-..- .-..-..-..-.....-..- LATIN CLUB President ...... ...lean Holmes Vice-President .... . . .Jean Bender Treasurer ...,. ..... . lane Mast Secretary .... . . .Roberta Read Praetor .... . . .Fred Randall Aedile ..... . . ......

The sponsor, Mr. J. M. Mason, has devoted much of his time working with the boys of Parsons High School and has instilled into the club a spirit of Christian fellowship. There are twenty-five active members. The purpose of the Hi-Y is: To maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. It is affiliated with the state Hi-Y. The president of the Parsons club was elected president of the district at the Independence convention. The club also won a shield for having the largest delegation at this convention. The board of the Hi-Y is: VV. W. Cavanaugh, Ted Bunting, secretary of the local Y. M. C. A., Principal E. F. Farner, and J. M. Mason, sponsor. The Parsons High School Hi-Y was organized in 1923. Wilbur S. Davison was sponsor and held this position until he moved to Fredonia in the summer of 1925. Hal Hyler was the president in '23, Max Mosher in '24, and Virgil Thomas in '25. -George Mears, '26. --------------.----- - ------------------------.1 926------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -M---1--I-PARSONIAN--'---H- - - - - - - - VOCATIONAL PRINTING Thc introduction of vocational printing into the Parsons school system four ycars ago has lcd to the present dcpartlncnt which cxccls all othcrs in the state.

The first few workouts found about fifty men out. Only four of this number were letter men and many had never played. The team was exceptionally inexperienced when it took the field against Cherryvale for the opening game but the fight was there and the spirit was there and as the season progressed the team no longer was green. Considering the fact that only three letter men played and four of the regular eleven had never played before, the team had a very successful season. On September 26 Cherryvale High School came to Parsons with an experienced team. Cherryvale led in scoring until the final moments of play when Parsons scored, making the score 13 to 12 in her favor. Parsons High went to Pittsburg October 2 to battle College High. Parsons far outplayed her opponents and won 13 to 0. The score should have been much larger but the breaks were against Parsons. ,Cherokee invaded Parsons October 9 and was defeated 6 to O in a rather slow and uninteresting game. Parsons was host, October 16 to Columbus in a game fought in mud and water. The heavier Columbus line was very effective against Parsons' light line, and by continual gains through the line Columbus was able to defeat Parsons 241 to O. Chanute High School came to Parsons October 23 with a team considered to be one of the best in this part of the state. They defeated Parsons 26 to 7 in a hard, fast game that was never lacking in interest. It was for this game that Parsons had the best sports official in the country, E. C. Quigley. When the Girard grid men came to Parsons October 30 they found sound drubbing awaiting them. Parsons scored almost at will and won by a score of 33 to 0. Pittsburg High School was host to Parsons November fl-. Pittsburg with a seasoned team and all the breaks of luck was able to defeat Parsons by a most disheartening score, 412 to 2. Parsons High played Pittsburg Business College in Parsons November 20 and defeated them 13 to 7 in an uninteresting game that was scheduled for a practice game. ' Turkey Day, November 26, found Parsons High in Fort Scott. The team surely had a fight that day and in the first half made more yards from scrimmage than her opponentsg but Fort Scott scored on fumbles and passes and ran up a large score, 42 to 0. -Ralph Raymond, '26. - -..-..g. 1 :.Hn..v.

He was powerful on both tl1e offense and defense. Smashing through the opposing line to throw his opponents for a loss was one of l1is frequent tricks. P. H. S. is indeed lucky to have a man like Forrest for foot- ball captain ncxt year, and with the co- operation of the students as well as the football men P. H. S. should have a splendid team under his leadership. .. .-..-... .......... ..-...1 9 DICK CAMPBELL, CAPTAIN Dick proved himself to be a real leader, one who could be depended upon to give his best. He was always in the thick of the game, with a word of en- couragement, win or lose. Dick was ready at all times to make decisions when called upon during the games, and was never known to choose unwisely. Dick graduates this year but he has established a fine record under the Blue and Orange. 2 5....... ........... - - --1 e e I-'fi-fr -f 221'--f-W P A R S O N I A N---C-1-2311? :aa--c:-pai 1:1 . HATCH, TACKLE, CAPTAIN-ELECT-Hatch was a man who drew unusual attention from the sidelines, because of his excel- lent work. Forrest was probably in more plays than any other player. He had an important part in the team's work offensively and defensively. Much is expected of Forrest for next year. SEIFERT, FULLBACK-Harold played his first year at full in fine style, and each game found him a better man. His great pass- ing was one of the most important cogs in the P. H. S. machine's of- fense. He made the second all-district team at full. Even greater things are expected of Harold next fall. WEBB, GUARD-Kenneth played his first year of football last fall and plainly showed his keen fighting spirit. Webb is a Sopho- more this year. He will no doubt be an important factor on the 1926 team. GALLEA, QUARTERBACK-Merle CMuttj possessed a nat- ural ability for football and proved himself a real field general his first year at the game. Mutt was a good man in a broken field, and his added ability to get away like a flash netted many good gains. He will be one of the mainstays in the 1926 eleven. : .. lxl-:Z fix L: --gi: - -:: ::-1 6-oc-aw ::::: f .fr 2: W :-riirfrf 2'1 r- -- 'I' 1:41411 1: 1 I l I l I H H 1 l l I H l l H I V l H I ll T' I I I H I I l 1 I I H -ii .. 1 1 .- 1 .1 1- .1ln1nn--1111110 4... - - -----.-.--.---------PABSON1AN------- - - - - - - - CAMPBELL, HALFBACK-Dick played a fast, heady game at half. His excellent punting ability leduhis team out of many bad places, and made him a most valuable player. Dick will not be back next year as he graduates this spring. RAYMOND, HALFBACK--Ralph played a game at halfback that was unexcelled on the team. His special ability was swift broken field running. Ralph never failed to make the gain when it was needed. This was Ralph's second year and his last for the Blue and Orange as he is a Senior this year. Ralph leaves a word of achieve- ment behind in P. H. S. athletics that he may well be proud of. LANE, GUARD-Manuel proved to us that he could really play football this year. Tubby's weight was surely needed and noticed in a rather light line. P. H. S. is glad Tubby made good this year for he is a Senior and will not be back in the ranks next year. KELLEY, GUARD--Bob was a tower in the line being six feet two and heavy. He was powerful on offense, often breaking up plays that looked good for gains, and on defense not often run over. Robert also graduates this year. 1 92 6-.-------------------------- -n- 1 1 1 1un-uh-Haiku-n---w-PARSONIAN 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 DOYLE, END-Here is a fellow, all may respect for his pluck and fight. Cannonball never knew when he was beaten. He was a sure tackler and fast enough to drop opposing backfield men for re- peated losses. Robert will be a big light in the team next fall. SMAY, END-One is safe in saying that Cecil was probably the biggest find of the 1925 season. His almost uncanny ability to grab passes and break up end runs made him invaluable to the team. A Sophomore this year, Cecil should be an even greater star with two years before him. HANCOCK, TACKLE-Playing his first year at tackle Bert showed his true fighting spirit. He was a sure tackler and always seemed able to take care of his man on offense as well. Bert is lost to the team for he graduates this year. CARPENTER, CENTER-When Carp stepped in to take the center position he answered one of the coach's big problems. He played a great offensive game this year making his passes good and never failing to catch signals. Next year will Gnd Eugene back at his old place in the center of the Blue and Orange line. .....-.....-.. ---- -----------1 926------ - - - - - - - - - -----..-----------.A P AR s o N I AN-------------- -------------------- MURPHY, END-Emery was a good end, always playing a hard, fast game. It was hard to keep Murphy on the bench and when he got a chance he always delivered. Emery will be back next year to make somebody play a real brand of football to stay in the running. CAMPBELL, HALFBACK-Playing his first year in a blue jersey, Jake was ready at all times to enter the battle and it can be said that he always gave an excellent account of himself. REVER, CENTER-John played a good game at center when given a chance he played with an earnestness that showed the proper spirit. Fat will be back next year and he is expected to take a place in the team. WILLARD, QUARTERBACK-Although John didn't get many chances at the opponents, he demonstrated a willingness and fight that was very creditable. John will be back when the season of '26 starts.

Parsons was host to the sectional tournament of high schools teams, March 12 and 13. In the Southeastern Kansas high school league, Parsons High tied for first place with Pittsburg and Columbus. Parsons started the year right by defeating Fredonia, the '1925 champions in the Verdigris Valley League, 18 to 14. ' College High of Pittsburg came to Parsons next only to be de- feated by a 25 to 7 count. Parsons then invaded Cherokee and in their small gym defeated them 35 to 9. The score stood 40 to 13 at the end of Parsons' first game in the new gym. Cherryvale was the victim. Chanute was defeated at Chanute in a bitter struggle, with a score of 24 to 16. Parsons then journeyed to Girard to win by almost doubling her rival's score, 22 to 12. The Smalleys, independent team of Parsons, was beaten 28 to 14. Parsons entertained Pittsburg High and on an off night was de- feated by the count of 19 to 15. When the team met Iola in that city they had to step to win and the score was: Parsons 34, Iola 28. Parsons made up as much as possible the following week by beating Fort Scott unmercifully 38 to 14. Columbus next visited Parsons with an excellent team and over two hundred boosters. They were trimmed in a terrible struggle 26 to 16. The tournament at Pittsburg came next and Parsons' first victim was Mulberry who was hopelessly outclassed. The score was 42 to 12. Arma came next. The boys beat them 35 to 12 and went into the finals. Pittsburg held a jinx and only after Peterson became exhausted and was removed did the team lose the championship by a one-point margin, 18 to 17. It fell upon Parsons to play the Augusta High school team in the sectional tournament. Parsons lost 33 to 24. The Augusta team later won the tournament and second place in Kansas at Lawrence. Parsons played fifteen games during the season, won 12, and lost 3. The total points made by Parsons was 4123 and their opponents 236. -Ralph Raymond '26 - - - - - -..-.......-...- -..-...1 926-...-..-.-------- - - - - - - I NRSONIAN- '- - - -'-' -- -H-H- ---m-H--M---H--4-i-- MOSHER, CAPTAIN-FORWARD Lyman in the season just completed has fulfilled his position as captain in a most creditable manner. Due to his sin- cere eiforts and encouragement the team has stood by him and has written in the school history a very successful year in basket ball. CFCII P14 'I 1' RSONI CAPTAIN-ELECT Cecil Peterson, Captain-Elect of the 1927 Blue and Orange basket ball team played his second year as center this year. Petey was high point man of the team last year and high point man in the South- eastern Kansas League this year. He made the all-district tourney team at Pittsburg this year. In other words Cecil was always in the game. May he con- tinue l1is good work next year. m-- ------ - ----- ----1 9 2 6 y 1 ---------------------W P A R S O N I A N--L-----'-----'--- ---- HATCH, GUARD-Forrest, as guard for his second year played a hard steady game. Due to injuries he was unable to complete in the tourneys. Hatch will return in '27 to play his third year. RYAN, FORWARD-Warren, who also played his second year with the team was always in the game. His excellent teamwork was outstanding although his scoring was not so high. Warren will be back next fall. PETERSON, CENTER-Pete did not return for basketball this year until the second semester but leads the league in total points scored. Cecil was a real star and his play under the basket was ex- ceptionally good. He placed at center on the all-tournament team. Cecil will be back to play next year. MOSHER, FORWARD-Lyman playing his second and last year was fast, and proved a big factor in Parsons' scoring this year. He gained recognition by his play in the tournaments for he placed as forward on the all-tournament teams last year and this year. Lyman graduates this spring. GALLEA, GUARD-Mutt, starting the season as a flashy for- ward, was placed at guard and proved a sensation in that position. He was given the honor of captain and guard on the all-tournament team. Merle returns next year. 192 .,........-.. -... ..........-.....-.........PARsoN1AN-------- - - - - - - 1 SMAY, GUARD-Cecil played a nice game at guard for his first year and should prove his greater worth next season. FINK, FORWARD-Vincent, although handicapped for size, played a very good game. Vincent is a junior this year and greater things are expected of him next year. HORN, FORWARD-Playing his first year Maurice was a sub who could be depended upon to deliver. He was able to get into a good percentage of the games. Maurice is a senior. CARPENTER, GUARD-This was Eugene's first year but he played excellent basket ball and played in most of the games. Carp is a sophomore this year. SWISHER, FORWARD-This was George's first year with the team but he fought hard when given a chance. George graduates this year. , ,, ,,.,,...,..............-.............-.......-.......1926...-.....-..-..-..-................-.

Harold Ricketts Vice-President .........................,...... James Riley Sophomore Representatives .... Berneita Brooks, Harry Randall Freshman Representatives ........ Virginia Van Meter, Edward McElvain The student council is an attempt toward democratic administration within the college. It meets with the dean and discusses pro and con the problems of the school. Thus the opinions and sentiments of the students are considered whenever a school question is settled. Student problems are left entirely to the decision of the council. For example, it has passed judgment upon the qualifications of one receiving a school letter, the distribution of the activity fee, and the nature of social functions. The organization is not perfect, it is still in its infancy, but in the future we look for it to be a big factor in promoting peace and preserving school traditions. The personnel of the council consists of two representatives from each class, and the vice-president, and president of the student body. The latter presides as chairman at all meetings. - - .. - - - - - - - - - ------19261--------M - - - - - - - - --I----I I I I I I I II I I I I I I I'I I I I II I II I I I I I I I I - P Ty, - --- ---- - ---- -n---PAP.soN1AN- --1- - --1- -M--u.- SOPHOMORE CLASS - - ----- 1-,- - 1--- -192ev-,.- --,- -H--- - - - 4. --,- - '--- - --,- - --A-- PARs0N1AN-M--- ---- - -A-- - ---- - I I SOPHOMORE CLASS - - - -w-------1926--M---- - - - - --m-n--- ---- - ----- PAHSUNIAN- -.., -1.u- .... -....- SOPHOMORE CLASS - - - -A-.1------H---1 92fs-H-------- - - - - -M--MMPARSONIANW-W--H ---- ---- ---- --H--ww-ww I FRESHMAN CLASS I i I .I I I II I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ----wwnmmMW-------wmwwwdqi .. - - - - .. - - -------W--PARSONIAN--A-----'-- - FRESHMAN CLASS 3 ...-......-........,..-..-..- - -.-.W--W1 926--w-w---'- - Q ,.,. --s -Q--- -'-- -' ------- - - - -Q---Q-PAHSONIAN--. ------ - - - - - - --.Q--Q , Q Q I Q Q QQ Q Q ,, I .rv .- V . , 'W : i .1 : M., . -.,,, , Q .Q Q I Q Q Q Q I Q Q :QQ i nv 'Q R, Q Q Q Q Q.

Mr. Hinshaw. the physical education director and coach of all the athletic organizations, is an outstanding figure. The athletes as well as the students feel great confidence in his ability. The athletic teams received the whole hearted and enthusiastic support of the entire student body and the town people who attended all the major events on the schedule, nor were they disappointed for thc success of the various teams was more than gratifying. - - .. .... . .... 9215-.. ..... .. ... .. .. .. .- - - - - 4 --u-----M-itPABs0N1AN'--..-.---- - - - - - - - FOOTBALL The football played by the Parsons Junior College team through- out the past year was worthy of the name, collegefootball. - It is true that the championship once held by the Parsons team eluded them this year, but by so' narrow a margin that the Junior College is only too proud of the showing made. The comparison of the total scores shows the Parsons team to have almost doubled the scores on its opponents. The success of the team is due to the proficient and persistent work of the individual members, Captain Gerald Talley, Captain- elect Charles Smay, Bailey Ricketts, Cecil Benjamin, Edward Mc- Elvain, Earl Martin, Ray Hill, Abner McCrary, Lewis Roller, Lester Robinson, Merle Brennemen, Edwin Douglas, Charles White, Francis James, Walter Linscott, and Robert Dial, and especially to Coach Hinshaw the indispensible Chief whose time and efforts accomplished so much.

Chilocco, Independence, Coffeyville, Fort Scott, and Iola were defeated twice during the season, Garden City, Baker, and Ivanhoe DeMolays, once. The games with Baker, Chilocco, DeMolays, and Schooleys were outside the Junior College league. , All the college events attracted immense crowds because of the wonderful game played by the team. T he DeMolay and Arkansas City games were the most inter- esting because of the stiff opposition, which proved to be too still' in the latter case. Had the local team had the precision of its opponents in putting the ball through the basket there would have been one more championship for Parsons and a different tale to tell of the National A. A. U. tournament at Kansas City. ' The credit, of course, goes to the coach, to Captain Steuber, Ricketts, Talley, White, Benjamin, Smoot, Douglas, McElvain, Shelledy, and Vance.

From this class were chosen the four debators whose pictures appear on this page. The ques- tion was, Resolved, that Colonel Mitchell's plan should be adopted for a single department of national defense in the cabinet with three equal branches of Army. Navy and Air. The first debate in which the local college took part was a dual debate with Ozark Wesleyan in the nature of an open forum. Consequently there were no de- cisions. The second debate was a dual debate also, withnlola as opponent, from which Parsons emerged the victor. The third debate was a triangular debate with Parsons, Arkansas City, and Fort Scott contesting for honors. Arkansas City and Parsons tied for the district championship and it was necessary to resort to per- centages. By this method Parsons was forced to bow to Arkansas City, who led by the narrow margin of five points. The students and faculty give much credit for the success of their debaters to Miss Sylvia Barnes, debate coach. Miss Barnes comes to Parsons Junior College this year from John' Fletcher College, Oskaloosa, Iowa, where she was debate in- structor last year. She has also coached debate in Taylor University, Upland, Indiana. un-.simian S .9 . . . i A ny, ' , 4 rt 723 ,19- .

Each member of the staff is outstanding in school life and is personally representative of varied activities. Anna Lee Van Meter, sophomore, is editor-in-chief. Anna Lee has been particularly fitted for this position for she was editor-in- chief of the Parsonian of '24. With the scant honors of editorship, she has endeavored to satisfy the varied interests of the readers. Hugh Hammond, sophomore, as business manager, has shown his ability as financier and tactician. Personality plus, salesman's motto, applies happily to Hugh. He has participated with success in varied lines of school life. Faye Harris, freshman, has had charge of that outstanding fea- ture of all year books, photographs. Faye is studying the biological and physical sciences, and hopes later to prepare herself to be an interior decorator. Kenneth McDonald, sophomore, is the feature editor. Kenneth had an important part as college reporter for the School Reporter and as artist ana assistant editor for the first junior college year book in '25. Kenneth's hobby is music. -Miss Hazel Davison. ---------mmamam---------W PARSUNIAN - ---- - ----4 1926- ..,. - .... - --.------- ----- ---- - --n- 1 JARSONIAN- ---- ---u---------- ONCE IN A BLUE MOON On Tuesday night, May the fourth, the Junior College presented a musical romance. Once in a Blue Moon to a record crowd in the auditorium of the new high school. A charming prologue preceded the three main acts of the operetta. Interesting details greatly enlivened a very interesting plot. There was a case of mistaken identity, two cold-blooded imposters, a robbery, a graceful Spanish dancer, and other such attractive features, all of which have proclaimed for the undertaking unusual success. The entire cast showed unusual ability and the principals were as follows: The Moon Lady ............................ Opal Clark Sylvia Montgomery .... ........

The novelty chorus brought down the house with their clever dancing and snappy songs and of this group were: Alfreda Stemple, Dorothy Piatt, Dorothy Danforth, Margaret Hemphill, Betty Starnes, Frances Nash, Naomi Hienbaugli. Rosa Neely, Lenore Benton, and Loretta Doyle. The success of the operetta was due largely to the faithful and untiring efforts of Mr. Nelson and several assistants: Harry Randall as business managerg Reba Sisk in charge of dramatics, Loretta Doyle and Frances Nash in charge of dancingg Melvin Nydegger as stage manager and Harriet Doughman as head usher. ....-.----- -r-- -----.------- ---- 11-- - - - - 1926- ---- - '- ------------ ll- .--- ---- - ---PARSONIAN-n---------- RED PEPPERS Dorothy Ledhetter .... .......

The students motored to Sweet Springs to build a fire, roast weiners and marsh- mallows-and eat pumpkin pie ad infinitum. Following this came the Mix-up Party. This ingenious occasion was largely the creation of the Coach. It will be remembered that there was a fixing committee to fix program, refreshments, and dates! Results were astonishing but not very lasting. At any rate the affair was pleasing to all who attended and everyone did. ' i Hobo Day dawned bright and beautiful, as the movie subi titles say, upon seventy-five college students decked out in more than ludicrous costumes. The others had forgotten the date but came dressed in the afternoon. The fun was shared by those who looked on and those who looked at. 4 The Football Banquet at the close of the season was the most important function given. The Hiking Club was in chargeand pro- vided all that could possibly be asked for. The Christmas Party held in the basement of the Municipal building was very attractive. Decorations and costumes were results of much work and thought. There are memories of mistletoe, pepper- mint sticks, candles, shieks, Indians, cowboys, the king and queen, and then-Miss Osgood chewing gum. With the coming of spring the wide open spaces again called the members of the Junior College. Having secured all the available cars, they repaired to the wilds in order to return to Nature-not entirely, to he sure, but enough to enable them to romp and ramble through the woods with song, and dance, and merry, merry shout. - - - - - - - - - --w--m-1926--'-'-n- - - - - - - - - - - PABSONIAN --:-ff-fi 9 2 ew,--W ::f' 1 f::f::f2I '201l'i22f 22 ' 4:i :'i 3 :Z -: JOKES SPRING POME O Spring are came with gladsome swoop!

Sandpaper sliou'd be used sparingly on the elbows and shoulder blades. A wad of chewing gum cleverly deposited on the lobe of the left ear adds u distinctive touch to any outfit. That school girl complexion should never be kept on masculine coat collars. Vcry recently one of Miss Bailey's star pupils decided to make a collection of moths. Before starting out, he went to the library and checked out a volume entitled, Advice To Young Mothers. , DEFINITIONS Banquet-Twenty-five cents worth of eating and seventy-five cents worth of talking.

In up-to-date society the knife is only occasionally used to eat crushed carrots or chocolate pudding. Only in case of absolute necessity should cake or bread be dipped in coffee, tea, or whatever. It is considered unrefined to spit grapefruit seeds or corn cobs on the floor. These elements should be carefully wrapped in the napkin, slipped into the pocket, and taken home with the silverware. -I Yffi Z Z in :,.,,1,,-,l fu-..,...,i,. 1 6.g-q-.--n--n-q-unq-n11n-nn-os1n1Il-nn-I q,.....,-.--.li,,,-,, - ' ' -'- - ----'- Q1 -' --M-1ux1asuN1AN, ,,,, , ,,, - - - . . ml- 'III ml- - , T135 A Unix? , - , 4 X 'I5geB.v1'oPeT-.
