For this reason P. H. S. offers an unusually large number of different kinds of athletics. In offering these sports each indivildual may participate in the par- ticular sport in which he is interested and may gain a wider knowledge of athletics. These athletics are offered not only for the athletes but also for the student body and the puhl'e. The large attendance at the athletic events this year showed that the people of Parsons are interested in the good, clean entertainment that P. H. S. offers them. The int.ra-mural sports are held in the spring instead of the track meets. The purpose of these sports is to give to the boys who haven't had a chance to participate in any other sports during the fall and winter, an opportunity to get a taste of competitive athletics. The ilitra--:mural sports are divided into three different groups: basketball, armory ball, and football. In the basketball tournament three men make up a team. They are divided according to height. Each team has a tall man, a middle-sized man, and a small man. ' 1 The armory ball teams are divided according to grades and not by height. The games were played on the football field during activity periods and after school. The football group studied football rules and played toueh', football. Prizes were awarded to the winners. PARSONS HIGH SCHOOL Page Fifty Athletics The Senior Plan The New Poor, the Senior plav presented May 21, in the auditorium, relates the story of a Russian Grand Duke and three of his friends stranded in the United Stgates. They are engaged as servants in the home of the VVellby family, whose previous domestics have just walked out. The daughters proceed to fall in love with the new hirelings, and the son will the maid. The military precision of the Russians offers much amusement for the family. VVhen a valuable painting is stolen the suspicion falls upon the servants, who vindicate tfieinzielves, and the real villain is found. The play gave many laughs and proved to be a real success. Miss Margaret Smith's capable ll'l'CCllOl1 was greatly responsible for its success. The characters were! Mrs. VVellby. VVanda Gilkey, Grand Duke, Roger North, Count Ivan, Richard Hill, Prince Vladimir, Russell Torreyson, Miller C. Gutteridge. C. V. Henderson, Amos Wellby, Glenn Ellison, Kirk O'Farrell. Emery VVrigbt: Mary Maudsley. Margaret Stough, Constance VVellbv. Ellen Morrissey, Princess Irina. Therese Holland, Betty Wellby, Mary Eleanor DeLongy, Alice NVeI1by, Marjorie Davis. The Senior Revue Radio Station VVAFA with television brought to the' high school a unique Senior Revue in the auditorium, February 6. The setting was that of a radio station with television. A loud speaker was used for the announcing, wh'ch was done splendidly by Glenn Ellison. The program consisted of: nopular selections by Joe Field's orchestra, Black Moonlight and Dancing Lady by the girls chorus, Mae VVest impersonation, the Prophet, the Nutt Brothers, the Clarinuts, interview of an athlete. boys' follies, the cowboys, picfeolo selections colored comic act, and the finale, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. The Seniors appreciate the cooperation of the sponsors, Miss Mary Scott and Mr. Allen Piatt. in helping stage this spectacular Revue. The Revue has taken the place of the Senior Carnival given previous to last vear. ' The Junior Plaq The VY7l1Ol6 Town's Talking, an uproarious three-act comgedy, was the play presentey by the Junior class in the auditorium Decelnber 11. The cbaracte1's were: Ethel Simmons. Marv M.

Philip Lyerer, Simmons, John White, Taxie Driver, Marion Ramsey, Shields, Jimmie Phillips, Swift, Fred Mundis. I The splendid acting of the twelve characters under the direction of Miss Margaret Smith, combined with the humorous dialogue of the play, made lt one of the best productions ever presented by the Junior class. PARSONS SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page Forty-eight Press Club The Journalism classes of Mr. YVilliam Moore have organized into the Press Club. Its members cons st of the staff classes and the cub classes. In a meeting held the second remester in the cafeteria of the school the members and sponsor were privileged to hear Mr. Sehoenhorn, ticket agent for the M. K.

Virginia Lovelace The Girls' Athletic Association is an organization sponsored by Miss Ann Theilen, instructor ot' the girls' gymnasium classes in the high school. This year the club adopted a new system of points whereby a member might gain a letter for her efforts in the gymnastic field. The purpose of this club is to lurtlver interest in girls' athletics as the means of promoting good fellowship, physical etliciency, and high scholarship and to boost all school activitfes. Pep Club A newly organized Pep Club was introduced in the High School this term. .lo Ann Maylen and Loy Hlght were cheer leaders. and Miss VVilma VVellsg sponsor. The Pep Club furnished much of the cheering for the football and basket hall games, and when interest in the games was lagging this club was always ready with a cheer, urging our boys on to victory. New uniforms were chosen with the consent of the members. They are dark skirts or trousers, white shirts or sweaters. orange ties, blue letters, and orange and blue caps. This club was very successful in its purpose, To create a better school spirit. It IS hoped that it will continue in the future and have a large membership of both boys and girls. PARSONS SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page Forty-six Music Orchestras The Parsons High School orchestra is composed of sixty pieces. It has contributed to many school programs :md will partake in the Spring Festival. The L'ttle Symphony has about thirty members. These are the older and more advanced players and must l,:e elected in order to fill a position in the organization. The aim of this group is to work on better and more ditlicult music which cannot he played by a larger group. This orchestra made trips to Miami, Oklahoma, and to Independence. When exchange programs were given with the other high schools the Little Symphony was sometimes included in the program. ln order to make this group a success practices were held after school, and lnuch credit is due to the members for their faithful attendance. Chorus The mixed chorus has a membership of about fifty. At Easter time they presented The Seven Last VVords, by DuBois.

This was used throughout thirty-six states. During the first semester the teams visited in Coffeyville where they entered the Tri-State tournament. Schools from Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma were represented. The members of the teams were: Vincent Rosentahl and Earl Porter, atlirniativeg Mary Margaret Durand, Paul Meade, Louise Forelnan, and Mark Griggs, negative. The high school was also represented at a debate tournament in Emporia, sponsored by the College of Emporia. February 9-10, the Southeast Kansas High School debaters met in Parsons for the annual district meet. Our team was composed of Earl Porter and Paul Meade, affirmative, Louise Foreman and Mark Griggs, negative. Parsons School Reporter The school newspaper is published every Friday by the Journalism classes under the direction of Mr. William Moore. Students enrolling in t.he subject of Journalism are placed in the cub class. However, no student can take this subject unless he has the recommendation of his English teacher. A high average in English is necessary for entrance into this class. After one semester of study from the textbook and after writing a small amount. for the paper, the cub class becomes the staff class for the next semester. By this system the Journalism student has one semester of experience and he does not encounter as much difficulty as he would without any experience. Mr. Moore appoints the statl' members according to their merits. The positions on the staff vary from year to year, depending on the class itself. 'this staff is then assigned to various news stories in the school. They also write the editorials, adyertis.ng, exchange, personals, features, and news of East and West Junior High and Junior College. The stall' of the first semester included: Mark Griggs, Winifred Schmoll, Elmer Columbia, Bernice Stice, Glenn Ellison, Tommy Hughes, Louise Growden, Donald Copeland, Margaret Stough, and Thelma NVheeles. The second semester staff is: Ellen Morrissey, Louise Foreman, Daza Reed Barnes, Louise Sterk, Lois Hopkins, Emery Wright, William Tyler, Dorothy Carr, Bose Ann Donnelly, C. V. Henderson, Alice Scaletty, Harriett Hyde, Mary Eleanor DeLongy, and Arlene Hogan.

Paul Meade Eleven years ago a large number of children entered the first grades of the Parsons public schools. Today they are the students of the Junior class. From the first grade to the sixth there was a period of events not en- tirely forgotten, of marble games, ball games, rope skipping, track meets, volley hall games, and basket ball games. Then those from VVashington, McKinley, Lincoln, and Garfield were promoted to VVest and East Junior high schools. lt seemed to us like Seventh Heaven until we found out how we were considered under- lings by the mighty Freshmen. This period reminds us of track meets, operettas, basket ball games, home room programs, and the basket hall banquets. VVe climaxed it with our Freshman plays, skip day, and class day. East Junior presented Has Anyone Seen Jean, and West Junior, Mack the Ace, as their class plays. Philip Lyrer was president of the West Junior Freshmen and Jack Smart of the East Junior Freshmen. Then We entered Senior high school the Sainte in spirit as in Junior high. Bill NVesthoff was elected president of the Sophomore class. Other o icers were Mary Markham, Jack Smart, and George Rouch. In our Junior year we have thus far presented the Junior play, 6'The Whole Town's Talking g also we have given a party in the cafeteria.

Miss Mary Scott Mr. Allein Piatt Approaching the close of our last year, we, the Seniors of 1934, pause to look back over the past years, those years spent in climbing along the path of education. Into our minds comes the picture of our first school days as, with well-scrubbed faces and carefully combed hair, we attended school for the first time. VVe were widely divided then. Some were in schools out- side of Parsons. The others were distributed among the city schools- AA73Sllll1gtOl1, Lincoln, McKinley, Garfield, St. Patrick's, St. Maryis, and Douglass. Finally our struggle in the lower grades was over. We now see our- selves in Junior High. Some of us were in East Junior and some in VVest Junior. How proud We were when we became Freshmen! At Fast Junior Jack Maier, with the aid of the sponsors, Miss Adams and Miss Dryden led the class, and at West Junior, Dale Hammond, with Mrs. Cherry and Mr. Porter as sponsors. The play given at East Junior was Lady Lilac and at West Junior Bashful Mr. Bobbsf' We next see ourselves early in our Sophomore year as we rushed frantically tlirough the bu'lding trying to find our classes, to locat.e and openvour lockers, and to discover what the whole thing was about. We struggled on tthrough the year, wondering if we would ever become Seniors or even Juniors. VVe came to realize that we must, work hard or be left by the wayside. In our Junior year our president was Dale Hammond. Our play was Absent Minded Judy. The picnic at Oswego park was a big event on our Junior Calendar. At last we reached our final goalg we became Seniors. But with the joy of realization came many responsibilities. Our apron and overall day with its program was enjoyed by the whole school. Our Senior play, 6'The New Poor, the Senior Revue, and Skip Day will long be remembered and cherished as will many other school events. As we, the graduating class, look back, we see a path marked by both joys and sorrows. VVith rejoicing because we have finished our exams, and with real sorrow at the thought that we cannot enjoy these things again, we leave the high school days behind. NVe the Seniors of the class of 1934, leave this as our parting wish to all the .coming graduates: May your school days be full of joys and your lives be a success.

Many of our high school assemblies were brought to the school through the auspices of the student council. lt has solved many of our difficult problems. At the first of the school year two students from each class were chosen to be members of the council. A president was chosen by the entire high school.
