We have attempted to make it the best ever. We have attempted to make it different. We will feel abundantly re- paid for our efforts if the indulgent reader looks at it often with pleasant memories of the old P. H. S. and the good times had there. -TI-IE STAFF I I I I Illll Il I I llllllllllllllllllllll Page 3 IIlllllllllllllllllllllll IIIIHIYII1IIHIQIIIIIHIIIINIIIIIIII1II1II1IIlIlllIlII4lI1II1ll1l llllllllllll Ps U cn I Q If DG Q Z U-I cn LU I E-4 ,.:1 CD 0 'L' 1- KD K A- 'U C 'FU 'U F4 LT!

It is needless for me to tell this repre- sentative audience of Pittsburg citizens that this is a joyful occasion for the members of the Pittsburg High School. It is an occasion on which the student body may give expres- sion to the joyous realization of a long de- layed hope. We are grateful to the taxpay- ers and other loyal citizens who have made this occasion possible. When we gaze over the framework of this massive hall of learn- ing, rising majestically in this ideal location -there comes over us a thrill of grateful ap- preciation. We look back over the long years spent in the old high school building, with its crowd- ed halls, its overflowing classrooms, its lim- ited space, and its lack of facilities for the most effective work. We seniors have spent four years of our high school life in the old building with visions always before us of this beautiful and commodious structure, and with the constant hope that in our last year we might enjoy it as a finished reality. But the occasion is no less happy to us than to the under-classmen, who will enter these halls in the near future. There is nothing selfish in the feeling of satisfaction which comes to the seniors on this occasion. Our interest in the progress of the school which has formed so large a part of our life in the years past, is just as keen as if we were to become stu- dents within these walls. So I voice the pride of the senior class in this building which is dedicated to the education of all the chil- dren of all the people. But I speak also for those members of the High School whose work will be com- pleted in this building with its more advan- tageous environment. To whom much is given, much shall be required. A higher standard of excellence may be expected from those of us who have been given the better facilities, under which to do our work. This building does not mean to us merely a place where we shall be able to enjoy school life more fullyg it means a place where we may more fully prepare ourselves to perform our duties as citizens of the communityg a place whose varied activities may teach us to meet life's responsibilities in a finer way. While the present senior class does not hope for any direct personal benefit from the completion of this building, yet indirectly we shall be greatly benefited because of the civic im- provement to the city of Pittsburg. In token of the gratitude and apprecia- tion of the young people of this community, for your generosity in providing such a home for our educational needs, the students of the High School and Eighth grade pledge in- creased interest in our school work and higher standards of community life. We will en- deavor to adjust ourselves to the new envir- onment in a manner consistent with that of consciencious students, and so thoroughly will we contribute to the improved conditions of education that you may rest assured that the voting of several hundred thousand dollars in bonds will not have been in vain.

In their hearts the White and Purple will forever live. They would not think of thee as brick and stone but as the undying spirit of honor, truth, courage, purity. Alma Mater, probably no more will men and women step into the world from thy time-honored portals. Thy material form has out- grown its usefulness. Thy spirit remains, undying, indomitable! This star-dust has merely found a new body. May it prosper there always! We place thee, Alma Mater, on the pedestal of our highest, our truest devotion. When years have rolled over our heads, when the storm and stress and patient endurance of the day is departed, leaving only the peace of the purple twilight, our hearts will ever be made young by the spirit of the White and Purple which is Pittsburg for- evermore!

PLAYFORD REED Vice-President .... .... W ALTER LEMON Secretary-Treasurer -- ..... MAURINE PALMER The Class of '21 has reason to be proud of its record in the noble and dignified position of Seniors. Through difficulties unparalleled in the history of the school they have achieved that one thing which is good: Success. Both as a class and as individuals the name of Class of 21 will long be remembered in terms of purpose accomplishedg P. H. S. glorified. Let us dwell briefly on these successes: Q15 The Booster has been pronounced by many as the best ever published in P. H. S. Peppy, breezy, loyalg it is worthy to uphold the ideals of Pittsburg High. Q21 The Purple and White. A new method of Annual construc- tion. On time. What more to perpetuate the name of 21 ? Q31 The Thread of Destiny -the Senior Play-with its 25 stars. Unquestionably a dramatic success of the first magnitude- Thanks to Miss L'Heureux and the spirit of '21, C41 An everlasting heritage in scholarship. Six honor students. Q51 The class is proud o-f the records of its individual members. In athletics, Captain Kenneth Gibson, a senior, led the purple and White to victory on the gridiron. Grant Gibson did his bit in football and is one of the best high school track men in the state. The presi- dent of the class, Playford Reed, played the position of halfback to the glory of himself and P. H. S. In addition he headed the Athletic As- sociation for two years. Quentin Ross made his mark in basketball. Not only in athletics, but in debate did '21'ers prove the mainstay of the old school with Clarence Haize, Staneart Graham and Euphemia Bales. Much music talent leaves this year with Vivienne Bowker, Neil Branstetter, Lawrence Jones, Veva Potter, Maurine Palmer, and others. We might keep on and on but lack of space prohibits. Frankly, under- classmen fand Juniorsj we don't see how you're going to be able to manage hereafter without our wise counsel, our talent, and brilliancy.

Staneart Graham, 17 A, 10 B. Helen Harper, 18 A, 8 B. Mardell Wilson, 17 A, 8 B, 2 C. Veva Potter, 20 A, 6 B, 2 C. Euphemia Bales, 21 A, 6 B, 1C. Staneart Graham, Helen Harper and Mardell Wilson are graduat- ing in three and one-half years, and have carried five subjects part of the time. Requirements: The student must make not more than ten grades below A, and of these ten grades, not more than three C's for the four years of High School, not including the last semester. The honor system was instituted in 1918. Previous to that time the two who had the highest grades were given the honors of valedic- torian and salutatorian of the class. Under the present system these honors are given to those in the group best fitted to perform the Work. Hazel Hoy, who appears above had grades to entitle her to be an honor student, but on account of illness was forced to discontinue her school work at mid-year. Some interesting facts have been found concerning honor students. In the classes '18, '19, '20, '21, there have been thirty honor students, of which five, or one-sixth have been boys, which is the same per cent as found in this year's class. These classes have a total membership of two-hundred and seventy-three, eleven per cent of whom are on the honor roll. There has been an average of one honor student out of every nine students.

JUNIORS 1-9-double 2 We're the class of '22 Peppy, peppy, full of snap Back 'em all clear off the map. Colors: Old rose and silver Sponsors: Miss L'Heureux, Mr. Brown The Junior Class of '21 is the largest Junior Class P. H. S. has ever had, having 159 which is more than the sopho-mores. They are very proud that they will be the first class to graduate from Our New High Scchool. The Juniors are always ready to help and have had many activities in charge. Their social gatherings too have been a success. r The class has been represented by oratory, debates, athletics, mu- sic and clubs. Ulyss Mitchell won first in debate and Wilma Frain re- ceived first in oratory. Alan Lanyon, Arthur Van Houten were chosen on the All County and All District Basketball Team. The class was represented well in Football by Wilburn Davis, Alan Lanyon Al- bert Sells, Arthur Van Houten and Cleo Bell. They were not behind in tennis or track. Lyman Finley, Bass, and Cecil Jackson, tenor en- tered the Musical Contest at the Normal this spring. Three of the Hi-Y officers are Juniors, Lyman Finley, President, Harold Potter, Vice-President, and Gerald Magee, Secretary. Added to these successes is the crowning one of the Junior Play, The Hoodoo. With this record as Juniors, they hope to be the BEST ever as Seniors of '22.

They are so wise, so very bright, In knowledge,-My, Oh. my! To look at them you'd hardly think That they once entered High. As Lonely Freshmen, then to Sophs, And then to Juniors grew. E Ah. No! They just look down on us E As if we nothing knew. We know that they can't help themselves No notice we demand, We see them strut about the halls, And easily understand.

It has been represented in declamation by Mabel Selby, in Basket Ball by Cleo Bell, and has furnished all the Hi-Y officens for next year. On March 18, the Sophomore class held a party in Mr. Menne's room. Before beginning the games the following program was given: Violin solo, Hilda Byer, accompanied by Madeline Rothrock. Violin solo, Cecil Mould, accompanicd by Elinor Danner. Vocal solo, Mr. Menne, accompanied by Madeline Rothrock. The class was then divided into three groups to represent three different schools participating in a track meet. The 'three towns represented were Arma, Cherokeey and Fort Scott. The leaders for each of the towns were respectively: Nellie Stacey, with Alonzo Leeper as assistant. Homer Margrave with Nellie Ross as assistant. . Eugene McDonald, with Helen Jones as assistant. The following games with their track names were played: Mile race-cracker race. Hurdle-Hoop race. Half mile race-newspaper race. Two hundred yard dash-marshmallow race. The judges awarded the loving cup, trimmed in the school colors, to Cherokee. After the games refreshments of punch and sandwiches were served.

Well, primarily it's a booster. Boosting! Always forward! Never slacking! Never stopping! Giving P. H. S. the best it has! The voice of Pittsburg High! That, dear friends, is The Booster. Since 1915, under the guiding hand of Miss Laura J. Finley, The Booster has been boosting. Through difficulties she has piloted it al- ways to victory, to success. This year the shoals have been unusually treacherous. High cost of printing. Higlh cost of paper. High cost of labor. These are terms that only a member of The Booster Staff can understand. But we have won. Fourteen issues of boosting, and every bo-ost paid for! With the fine new printing press in the new high school, the high cost of boosting will be greatly decreased but remember always that through difficulties was the Boost put in Booster . The Booster started the sixth year of its life under the editorship of Blaine Nolan, who was assisted in the editorial department by Misses Wilda Vehlow and Helen Harper. Great was the excitement when the first issue made its appearance. Don't smile, it's really a serious mat- ter. Junior friends, you soon will experience the exhilarating sen- sation. The Booster sent four delegates to the newspaper Conference at Lawrence in November. Many valuable things were gleaned from ex- perienced newspaper men, which are applied profitably to our sheet. At the beginning of the second term of school the editor was called to the editorship of the Purple and White and one of the associ- ates, Miss Vehlow, assumed this responsibility. She was assisted by Misses Helen Harper, Mabel Flatt and Vleva Potter. We have had a successful year, but the usefulness of The Boo-ster has just started. The good The Booster can do cannot be measured. Our advice to future staffs is: Keep on Boostingg Boost P. H. S. to- ward greater achievement than she has yet accomplished.

Latin Algebra, University of Colorado ' I ' Kansas University, A. B. University of Chicago University of Chicago LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The Latin Department has completed a very successful yrar. There were one hundred and three students in the Latin I and II classes, a larger number than was ever in beginning Latin. There were three Caesar classes, two Cicero classes and one Vergil class. At the beginning of the second semester, the Cicero II class organized a Latin club which they named the Symposium. Hortense Roberson was chosen president, Carmen Griffith, El- sie Benziger, and Margaret Whybark compose the program committee. For several reasons the French Department has rot been so large this year as it should have been. We are hoping, however, that enough interest has been arousegl to make the department grow next year. Four years ago the Spanish Department started in our High School. This year it has been larger than ever, with one second year class and three beginning ones. .

B. Department of History and Social Sciences Probably we are more interested at present than we have ever been in the development of high ideals concerning American citizenship. We have reached the stage in our country's his- tory where we are asking ourselves what true patriotism is and what is the best type of citizen. True citizenship is really a matter of growth and this growth comes through intelligent knowledge of the world's institutions, noted men and women, and great events. It is with a view of aiding in acquiring this intelligent knowledge and with a View of creating a deeper and more sympathetic appreciation of these, that history and the social sciences are offered in High School. These subjects change the student's conception of mankind and create an interest in the development of the outside world. This acquaintance with new conditions naturally has a broadening effect upon the student, that results in an ethical training which assists in the formation of new ideals of character and action. A knowledge of history and the social sciences enables one to understand why religion, gov- ernment, law, and industry are as we have them today. The first year of history consists of Ancient and Medieval, ending with the eighteenth century, and is the foundation for other history courses that follow. The second year is Modern History, which covers the period from the reign of Louis XIV to the present time. The impor- tance of this course lies in the fact that it furnishes the pupil with the European background for the study of American History, which is offered in the Senior year. During the Junior year, students have an opportunity of taking courses in Economics and Civics, which place greater emphasis on the economics and governmental aspects of history. Another social science in the Junior year is Psychology. This science deals with sensa- tions, desires, emotions, and the upper stories of human conduct, such as ideals, standards, and beliefs. There is but one year of history required but most of our students take two years. The classes in Civics, Economics, and Psychology always have full enrollment. 1llIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIlIIllIllil'iIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIllllllllllllllllllllllll llIlllllllllllIllIllIllIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllll Page 53 II I I Illllllllllll I I I I I I I I I I IlIllIllIllIllIllIHIllIllIllIllIlllllllllIIIllllllllllllllllllllllll Ill I I Illll I I I I I I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIII 1 9 2 I PURPLE and WHITE 1 9 2 1 I I I Illllllllllll Ill I III I I I I I Illllllllllllllllll'llIlll.llIllIll!IllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllll I I I I I I I Illll Illllllllll I I I I I Il ,gxx STELLA DALLAS Chemistry and Physics L- K' BROUS Kansas University, A. B., University of Chi- Biology cago. Warrensburg Normal, B. S SCIENCE DEPARTMENT One result of the Great War has been a remarkable increase in scientific interest throughout the country. The nation that is to lead the World must excel all others in scientific achievement. The science department tries to give students a View of the whole range of science in order that the knowledge thus gained may be of practical value to them and also that some may find a field in which they may become specialists and be of the greatest service to the World. We have in Chemistry a boys' class, a girls' class and a mixed class The latter has taken the regular courseg the girls' class has given spec ial attention to Chemistry of foods and textiles: while the boys' class has worked along the line of industrial Chemistry. In Physics special demonstrations by members of the class have formed a valuable ad dition to the regular routine of class work. In biology we take up in regular order the plants and animals most familiar to us and try as far as possible to correlate it with the subjects of agriculture, human physiology, and general science Some of the benefits to be derived are: Valuable lessons in sanitation, hy giene and the conservation of natural resources. We also hope to in spire a deeper appreciation of nature. We are going into the new building, next fall, with high hopes for the science department. Probably the greatest improvement will be in the agriculture department. There will be one man to devote his entire time to this work and much better equipment will be pro vided. The club work now in operation will be extended. With new laboratories and improved equipment the science department hopes to do far better work than ever before.

The Science Club was organized in September 1919, and from that time to the present it has been enthusiastically supported by those most interested in science. One special feature of this year's work has been excursions to places of scientific interest. The club has vis- ited the Water works, the pottery, the normal laboratories, the central telephone office, and the candy factory. Various experiments have been performed which were too advanced for regular class work. Several members have specialized along the line of their greatest inter- est, such as the study of birds, explosives and electricity. llIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll IlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIlllllllllIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll I IIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllIIllllllllllllllllllllllll Page 55 Il Illllllllllllllllllll I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I IlIllIllIliIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIHIIIIlllllllllllllllllllI I I I I I Ill IIIIIII Illlll IllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllln u 1 9 2 1 PURPLE and WHITE 1 9 2 1 I IIIIIIIHIHIHIIYIIVI I I I IIIIHIIVIHIHIHIllIllIllIllIHIlllHINIlIIllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllI I I I I I I I I I I I I l IIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllll l I n r J.

In the academic course each student is required to take Algebra I and II and Geometry I and II. There are three ele ctives, Algebra III, Geometry III and Commercial Arithmetic, the latter a required subject in the Commercial de- partment. There have been more students in the advanced Mathematics class- es than in any previous year. The work of the department has been very suc- cessful. Guardian of the S. H. Mrs. Hutchinson, aside from being the Chief's better half, is the guardian of the study hall. No member of the faculty has a more intimate acquaintance with all the students of the high school and, further than that, no member of the faculty is more sincerely liked. Every student is at some time of the school day associated with Mrs. Hutchinson and she undoubtedly will be a great factor in shaping their destines. MRS. J. L.

M. fr. B.. s. Manual Arts Department The Manual Arts Department aids in home-making, more directly perhaps, than any other department. It has been realized of late that home-making is a profession and training is needed just as truly to enable one to be a good home-maker as to hold any other profession in life. This training is supplied by the Manual Arts Department, for it not only instructs girls in sewing, cooking and home decoration but the boys learn how to do odd jobs around the house as well as those tasks which require mechanical and technical knowledge. The Domestic Science and Household Economics classes both combine to teach girls to dignify housework by im proving the methods of work and to give each a greater appreciation for the profession of home-making in addition to de- veloping skill in the selection, preparation and use of foods. These classes have accomplished much this year under the direction of Miss Leeka. There have been six Domestic Science classes and two Household Economics classes each semester while many students who wished to enroll were hindered from doing so by lack of room. The Household Economics classes served nine break- fasts, nine luncheons and four dinners each semester. The honor students were entertained at dinner for the first time in the history of the school. The Domestic Art Classes have been successful this term in the study of textile fabrics, construction of garments, interior decoration and the hygeine, care and repair of garments. Miss Gable, the instructor has especially stressed clothing in regard to color, suitability, oc casion, health and neatness. The var- ious classes have made blouses, dresses and underclothing. The woodwork classes are to the boys what the Domestic Science and Art classes are for the girls. The boys have been taught the use and art of tools and have made a study of woods. They have also made many useful and artis- tic articles, such as library tables, floor lamps, writing desks, telephone stands, pedestals and book-cases. ' There is no doubt that this department will greatly expand in the New High school where there will be adequate equipment and sufficient room.

NEIFING t Gem City Business College, Bowling Green Page 58 Business University, B. C. S., University of Illinois. The Commercial course is the logical course for anyone contem- plating entering into the business world upon leaving High Schoolg in fact a good many students wo-rk their way through college as a direct result of their commercial work in High School. There is a growing demand among colleges and universities for pupils who can handle Shorthand and Typewriting. At present there are 167 students enrolled in the Commercial de- partment in P. H. S. In the 1921 graduating class, there are 37 pupils taking commercial work. However, they are not all finishing with all the requirements of the course for many Seniors have selected Type- writing who have never had any other work of this kind. After this year Typewritingl will not be an elective but will be a two-year solid as Shorthand and Bookkeeping are. This year there is no Commercial subject for Freshmen. Book- keeping is a Sophomore subject while Typewriting and Shorthand are taken during the Junior and Senior years. Gregg Shorthand is taught in P. H. S. The first year is spent in theory work from the textbook and the second year consists entirely of dictation. One hundred words per minute is the standard sought by all Shorthand students to finish the course. The Rational Typewriting chart book is used the first year while the last year is spent in transcribing the Shorthand work. In the Typewriting department weekly tests are given. Mind concentration and rythmic work are especially emphasized. Pupils are required to pass a 60-word test to finish the complete course. This year the Bookkeeping classes are using the Lyon's set, but next year the 20th Century set is to be installed. The new High School building will offer many new phases of com- mercial work to the students. We are expecting to have 35 new type- writers where now We have twenty old ones. Much equipment, such as a bank posting machine, adding machine, calculators, protectograph, multigraph and a bank, are to be given us in the new building.

F. MENNE Director of Vocal Music Hastings College Conservatory, Cranston School of Music. The music department has taken great strides forward this year. There are now two divisions, the vocal section under the direction of Professor Wm. F. Menne and the instrumental section directed by Professor J. J. Richards. CHORUS OF THREE HUNDRED Among the singing groups, the most interested and wide-awake is without doubt the Chorus of Three Hundred. The group was organized by Mr. Menne at the beginning of the second semester and in the short time that they have had, they have done some very creditable work. It is quite inspiring to hear it sing the Soldier Chorus , from Faust or the Pilgrims Chorus from Tannhauser. We are expecting great things from this group next year. ' HARMONY CLASS This class is also an innovation, it meets daily, and is given full credit. The class will cover about the same work that usually is done in a conservatory or music school. GLEE CLUBS The most popular singing organization is the Girls' Glee Club. The girls voices are well-balanced and blend well. They do uniformly good work. They have appeared a number of times for various organizations and have always been Well received. There is a certain sprightliness and vigor in their singing that is irresistible. The boys' club has not had as many appearances as the girls', but several times have received most flattering comments. The combined Glee Clubs with the assistance of the orchestra, gave a com- plimentary concert to the public at Christmas time, rendering the cantata, The Light Eternal , by P. W. Petrie.

J. RVCHARDS Director of Instrumental Music American Conservatory of Music The orchestra is to be made a part of the regular system in the high school. First of all, those in the orchestra must be supplied with proper instruments. A Junior and Senior orchestra is to be organized. The Senior orclrestra will con- sist of those more advanced in music while the Junior orchestra will be composed partly of beginners and will probably be organized in the grade schools so that those who are graduating will have others from the Junior orchestra to take their places. Schools are planning by various ways to raise money enough to buy musical instruments. More than two thousand dollars are needed to buy these instru- ments. For this purpose a benefit concert was given April 15 by the high school music department and the grade schools. Tickets were sold at 50c each and everyone seems to be greatly enthused over this plan for the orchestra in the coming years. The high school band is now made up of forty-five boys and more are ex- pected to enter next year although it will not be as go-od as the following years, as many of the students are graduating who are among the best players. Les- sons on the different instruments are now being given daily at the high school. By next year it is hoped that every grade school in the city will have an orchestra. Then there will be a constant stream of players coming into the high school and these grade children will form an orchestra that will be incom- parable to all orchestras hitherto organized by the school. J. J. Richards is head of the orchestra and band and is employed by the year so that this department may go ahead with its work during the summer. An orchestra is also planned to consist of those who have to graduate from high school and others who are more advanced, so Pittsburg expects to have a real Symphony orchestra, and others from neighboring towns will be permitted to join. Everyone is looking forward with great hope and expectancy to the com- ing orchestra and band. I I I I I I I I I I I I IIII III I I III.

B. University of Colorado University of Chicago This year, for the first time in history of P. H. S., a regular Dramatic Art teacher was employed and under the direction of Miss Pe.arl L'Heureux this de- partment is quite proud of its maiden efforts in the line of Dramatics. No regular class was formed the first semester. but a Dramatic Art Club of seventy-five members and a Public Speaking Club, The Forum , of thirty mem- bers did everything they could, in the wav of splendid chapel programs and mat- inees, to convince the Powers That Be that regular time on the school program sho-uld be given to this work. Consequently at the beginning of the second term, time was allowed for one class. Many who wished to join the class had to be disappointed, for all could not be accommodated. However thirty-five Ju- niors and Seniors were permitted to take up the work and very satisfactory re- sults have been obtained from the class in conjunction with the clubs. Four plays have been put on under the direction of the Department. A Box of Monkeys and The Sweet Girl Graduate were two clever farces which were given in matinee to good crowds. Pleasing and amusing specialties were furnished by members of the Department. The majority of the casts for the Ju- nior and Senior Plays were Dramatic Art Students and those who saw the plays pronounced them a decided success. The Chapel programs have been so varied and so numerous that we could not take space here to tell of them. We might mention the George Washington program. This was given by the class and the playlet was Written by Jack Burke, a member of the class. The writing of short plays has been part of the class work and some very good ones have been written. Some of the best modern plays have been studiedg monologues, readings and dialogues have been written and given, scrap books have been kept, containing pictures and write-ups of the Theatre and Stage. The study of the stage has included a comparison of the Shakesperian Stage and the modern stage. Each student was required to make a model Shakesperian Stage. We believe that since this department has been a success financially as well as dramatically that P. H. S. should from now on give it the place that it de- serves. Handicapped this year by inappropriate class room, lack of time and place for practice, next year, with the new building and splendid auditorium, should show even greater results.

STANEART GRAHAMQ Sec.-Treas., HELEN HARPER The Public Speaking and the Dramatic Art Clubs have been very closely as- sociated for they have been under the same direction and many students have been members of both clubs. At the beginning of the second semester when the Dramatic Art Class was formed, the two clubs united. From out the Dramatic class came a prize orator and a prize reader, from the Public Speaking Club came another pride orator and four prize debaters. speeches, orations, debates, single and double, humorous and serious have been enjoyed by the members.

Scott to join them and Chanute in a tri- angular contest. Pittsburg accepted and went to work. Euphema Bales, Staneart Gra- ham, Clarence Haize and Ulyss Mitchell were chosen as debatersg Wilma Frain and Harry Parker as orators and Evelyn Bales and Mabel Selby were selected as the readers. The question for debate and the subject for oration were agreed upon by the different schools, but the selection for the reading was left to the individual's choice, The night came for the contest and Pitts- burg's contestants were keyed to the proper pitch. When it was all over and the smoke of battle had cleared away, the score stood as you may see below, with Pittsburg shout- ing and happy while Chanute and Ft. Scott looked on with stunned expressions. They went home sadder but wiser men. We hear that they are coming back with vengeance. Well, we can't tell what we shall do next year, but if hard, earnest work on the part of the contestants and their coach had. anything to do with results this year, we ought to look for some good things from the department next year.

' 'Hail the Conqueror Of athletes and of warriors bold, Ft. Scott has had hers, we are told. Their team to Pittsburg proudly came, Confident they could increase their fame We shattered the hopes of that haughty . band, And left them awe-struck on every hand They watched our play with a vacant gaze And haven't revived yet from that daze Then back they came for a big debate, But sadder than ever was their fate. When Ulyss and Clarence argue a case, No other school need enter the race. They challenged us next in declamation, And made an effort at orationg Mabel and Wilma saved us then, And Ft. Scott was defeated again. But to their honor, be it said, They marched away with lifted heady And smiling bravely left this word: We'll try again next year, Pittsburg. -HARRY BEAL, '22. SODY BISCUITS Sody biscuits is his name And he's got everything, Actor, author, Poet and oratorg And he also can sing. Old Useless don't amount to much, But when it comes to speiling, He holds his audience in his grasp As he shouts his bunk to the ceiling. PlTTSBURG'S LAURELS A chaperon took a trip, She went clear to Chanute, sir, And with her went four students too, Whom we will here salute, sir.

The officers of last year were re-elected because of their wonderful success in athletic management. These officers had the necessary punch and pep and pushed athletics with all the vigor at their command. When the time came to send a championship basketball team to the state tournament at Lawrence, these men by their enthu- siasm and with the support of the student body raised the necessary capital. The school will lose these men this year and it is hoped that as fine a group will carry on the good work next fall. fc Pittsburg boasts of having one of the best coaches in the state. Coach C. C. Brown was born in Southwest Missouri and when told that some town had a bet- ter team than us he would reply- I am from Missouri. You'll have to show me. Coach Brown was for two vears a half back on the Springfield Normal squad. He was also a two year basket ball, baseball and track man. Therefore you will not wonder why he had the ability to turn out championship teams for P. H. S. Besides being a Normal man Brown was also a Missouri University man, and with all of this ex- perience at hand he helped bring to Pittsburg two basket ball loving cups and it is not known how many titles his track team will bring to P. H. S. .. -1 This is not the only championship team COACH he has had so you will readily see that P. H. S. has a fine coach as well as a fine fellow.

Did you say football? Well maybe old P. H. S. didn't have some team this season. Practice was started about two weeks before school opened. Brown Pittsburg's new co-ach, had some good material as six of last year's men were back to defend the honor of the Purple and White. Pittsburg started this season with a 6 to 6 game with Girard. The game was a good, clean affair, but being the first game of the season for both teams, the play was slow and ragged. Columbus the second enemy, went down with a 14 to 0 defeat. Then came the mighty Ft. Scott warriors who put it over on the home town boys to a 75 to 0 tune. The next game was on a wet field away from home. This was the return game with Columbus and the result was 6 to 0 in their favor al- though they were outplayed and outclassed the entire game. Parsons then came to Pittsburg to carry away the honors and rode home on a 20 to 0 defeat. At Mulberry P. H. S. walked away with a 14 to 0 score although Pittsburg was not at its best. Oh Boy!! ! The real game of the season! Pittsburg and the Nor- mal! What is that I hear? Did someone say GRAPES? Well P. H. S. are city champions by 20 to 7. 'Nuff sed. The return game with Mulberry on the home field was one of sad regret for Mulberry as they were confident of VICTORY but were de- feated 33 to 0. Turkey game was at Parsons Thanksgiving and although Parsons defeated P. H. S. 7 to 0, Pittsburg has the better team and can defeat Parsons at any-time on a neutral field. At the close of the season Pittsburg was considered the strongest team in this part of the state. Although she was defeated three times, she was not outplayed or outclassed. Pittsburg only admits one de- feat and that was dealt by Ft. Scott. This was the only team that could make Pittsburg go down to defeat and when you consider that they were state champs you will not wonder. The coming season is looked forward to and then you will see what a real team is. Even Fort Scott will have to step to keep the title she TRACK Track started with the annual inter-class meet. The Seniors were victorious, although the Juniors boasted high point man with Ab Sell's 21 points. A trophy was added by winning the inter-state track. Captain Grant Gibson, Ab Sell, Stelle, Gardner, E. Sell, K. Gibson, and Cheg- widden supported the Purple and White. At the county meet and the dual meet with the Normal, P. H. S. went over the top. now holds.

The basket ball season was one long to be remembered. With five letter men from last year Pittsburg started out for the state cham- pionship and nearly came to that end. Ac- cording to basket ball dope P. H. S. only lost by one basket although she did not go to the finals in the state tournament. -Pittsburg won many honors. The Purple and White are city champions, county cham- pions and also district champions, which show that Pittsburg has as good a team as any in the state. ' In the coming year Pittsburg will have all except one of her players back which means a good team as she has three men who who are all-county and two of these all-dis- trict. In the schedule which follows you will see some of the splendid work that these men did: Teams Date P.H.S. Vis.

Wichita Mar. 17-18-19 32 34 The Pittsburg-Joplin Game February 26, 1921 The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Pitts- burg five that day, The score stood 19-15 with five minutes more to play. But when Alan missed a goal and Arthur did the same, A sickly silence fell upon the rooters at the game, A straggling few got up to go in deep de- spairg the rest Clung to the hope eternal that springs in the human breast, They thought that if their captain could get a chance once more, Surely they would win the game with John- nie on the floor. SIUIUIUF Then Lanyon made a basket, to the hap- piness of all, Van took a foul shot-through the basket went the ball. And when the noise had quieted and people saw the score, There was Johnny, mighty Johnny, ad- vancing on the floor Then from five hundred throats, and more, there rose a cheer, It echoed at a distance, it rang both far and near, It knocked upon the windows, it resound- ed near the door, For Johnny, mighty Johnny, was advancing on the floor. And now the poor old basket ball went went hurling into space, And Johnny stood there watching it with smiles upon his face. HIUFPFPF The ball, it took its onward course, fit truly was quite longl. Just as the ball went through the goal, the crowd all heard the gong! Oh! somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright, The band is playing somewhere, and some- where hearts are light, Somewhere men are happy, and somewhere men are gayg All that pleasure was in Pittsburg on that most happy day. Our Yell Leaders The sleepers wake, the rafters quake, When Neil and Clarence yell, The wall doth shake, the lamps they break, When Neil and Clarence yell. There's pep and fun, the game's begun, When Neil and Clarence yell, The game is done! We've won, we've won! When Neil and Clarence yell. n E1IlI'IllIllIllIII1IlllllllIIHIllIllllllllllllllllllllllll llillllllllllllllIllllllllIIIIIIIllIllIIlIlllllllllllllllllllllll Illlllll llIIIIIlIllIlllllllllllllllllIlIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIllIIlIllIlllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllll Page 90 llllulllillllllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllrllllll Illlllllllllllllllllll Illllllllllllllllllll 1 9 2 1 PURPLE and WHITE 1 9 2 1 I llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllIlllllllllllllllllllllIlIl1I'IllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllll uet UQ all Ba .Q -4-9 cu .M U2 cvs DQ T5 Q C6 Ts B o o CH ww 1 lllllllllllIIlllIIlllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillll'lllllllllIllllllllllllllllll I I I llllllllllllllllllllll CLYDE C.

Never until this year, however, has it been known as the Hi-Y Club. The Hi standing for High School, and the Y for the Y. M. C. A., showing that the two organizations are working together for the betterment not only of the boys but of the Whole school. The Club this year held about fourteen meetings. Nearly all of these were attended by a group of boys that you will find boosting for the best in P. H. S. all the time. The meetings were held at the Y. M. C. A. each Tuesday evening at 6:30 and the boys were served with chili and crackers. We, the officers of the Hi-Y wish to thank Principal Hutchinson, the teachers, Clyde Hartford, and the boys for their hearty co-opera- tion in making the Club a success this year. We also have higher hopes for a successful Club next year. lllIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIII IIIII I I IIIIIIIIIII IIIIIII I I IIIIIIIIIII I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I III I I I I IIII I III I I llll I1llHIllllllnlIllIill1lulllll1lillvlliill1ll1IlillllIiIlllllllltlllIllnllllnlIllIllllIllIIlIIllirlIiInllllllInll1lllllillill1llillllillirlulul1allrlillrllrllilllllilnlnlnliilnlnlululi:lrli'l ll ill 1 9 2 1 PURPLE and WHITE 1 9 2 Illl Ill Illllllllllllllll I Illllll ll I ill Il I lllllllllllllllllllllll ll lllllllllllfllwliil i'iilullllIllIllIllIllllllllIllIllIllIllIlIIlIIllIl I I ll ll ll ll lIllIllI llllll Il I I I I I I ll lllllllllll I I I Cider Boys, Conference At the Older Boys Conference this year Pittsburg was represented by one ofthe largest delegations in the state. The forty-two boys and leaders were away four days and returned to Pittsburg with higher ideals and the satisfac- tion that their time had been well spent. l Many prominent men were on the Conference program, and their ad- dresses, covering the spiritual, moral and physical sides of a boy's life, were of interest and value to everyone. Most of the boys were deeply impressed by some of the talks and in the closing meeting, Sunday afternoon, a number, including several from Pittsburg, stated that they had received an inspiration at the Conference to devote their lives to some form of Christian service. On tlse trip to Hutchinson there was something going on all the time. He- cause of crowded conditions the Pittsburg bunch rode most of the way in what they called their Millionaire's Special , which consisted of a combination din- er and parlor car. From Wichita to Hutchinson however, their pride suffered a severe jolt when they were compelled to seek seats on some chicken coops in the baggage car. A Returning, the time was mostly spent in quietly reading until Neodosha was reached, where our noted violinist caught sight of Geraldine . This momen- tary glance seemed to have a violent effect upon his heart and caused the rest of the boys much worry and discomfort for the remainder of the journey. A few days later the boys were given an opportunity in chapel to relieve their minds of some of the things that they learned at Hutchinson.

W. C. A. in P. H. S. WE GOT READY The Girl's Club of last year sent Veva Potter and Frances Nation as dele- gates to the High School Y. W. C. A. Conference at Estes Park, Colo. A stand on the 4th of July, ice cream stands on Saturday nights during the summer and at football games in the fall and a liberal contribution from the girls' parents cared for the expenses. This was a wonderful trip and much was learned. WE ORGANIZED In October, with the help of Miss Appleby and Mrs. Ringle, we organized a high School Y. W. C. A. by classes. The Junior-Senior groups have a paid- up membership of 503 the Sophomores and the Freshmen 60, making a total of 110 for the school. The committees are doing fine work. WE HAD GOOD PROGRAMS Our programs have always been great successes and for them we have had many outside addresses. We have tried to encourage an all 'round develop- ment for the girls. WE DID NOT FORGET OTHERS At Thanksgiving and Christmas gifts of food and clothing were given to the poor, our girls and their advisers working through the Good Fellows with other charitable organizations of the city. HAD A GOOD TIME TOO The social side has not been overlooked. The groups have had their part- ies, their hikes and their teas. The entire Y. W. joined with the Hi-Y club in tendering a banquet to our foot ball and basket ball teams in March. Basket ball, played on an outdoor court, fsince we had no gymh was intro- duced, Mrs. Logan acting as coach. RED LETTER DAYS Our school has been very fortunate in securing so many noted women such as Miss Hena Redford. Y. W. Secretary of the West Central Field: Miss Etta Jo McCoy, Head of the Girls' Industrial School at Beloitg and Mrs. Walter Burr of the Kansas State Board of Health. Mrs. Burr lectured at different times for days to the girlsg then the Y. W. conducted a reception for business girls of the city, so that they might also hear Mrs. Burr. YOUNG BUT VIGOROUS Maurine Palmer, Jessie Starr and Betty Reed went to the State Conference at Newton at their own expense. Here they met many of the Field Leaders and secured many good suggestions for organizing. Our organization is young. but with all that we expect to have next year in our New High School one of the best Y. W.'s in the State. WE HAD GOOD BACKERS Much of our success is due to our advisers, ladies of the various churches, who were each one assigned to some specific department for the work. Mrs. R. L. Smith, Mrs. O. O. Lance. Mrs. A. F. Bennett, Mrs. T. E. Noel, Mrs. W. A Tav- lor, Mrs. Chas. Strosnider, Mrs. Henry Kettler, Mrs. E. M. George, Mrs. W. F. Conner, Mrs. Otto Kettler. Mrs. J. E. Markle, Mrs. E. R.

Before school began activities started in the minds of prospective high school students for a high school paper and when the fall term opened the plan was ready to be pro- posed. Singular it was, when two groups of two students each, approached the faculty con- cerning a high school paper, neither knew of the plans of the other and the teachers brought the four young men together for a conference. This was quite a surprise to the young quartette who were planning, each group for itself, a newspaper through which the high school spirit could be developed. It took very little argument to bring these boys to an agreement. They then began their daily conferences and companionships out of which grew a warm friendship and confidence which has always remained. G. Clyde Moore, deceased, and Guy E. Pees, an attorney now at Iola, Kansas, were working together while J. L. Kirkpatrick, a lawyer in Kansas City, Mo., and P. T. Ellis of this city were the other two planning the project. lt was strange that all the four boys had decided upon the same name, but that was not the problem. To finance the new enterprise was the chief subject for discussion at all times and not until they had canvassed the advertising pros- pects thoroughly did they decide that the next necessary thing was THE HIGH SCHOOL SUPPORT. Just how to get it with its spirit of pride and desire for some accomplishment for the high school, weighed heavy on the hearts of the four young men. The school must have a part, in fact, the school must know it was to be a high school paper, must have a feeling of ownership. The boys agreed that the name should be suggested by the school. Then began a care- fully planned program. The boys knew noth- ing about politics but had learned some things by experience and observation and knew the wisdom in older counsel and decided to have it named after their own choice. Accord- ingly a few intimate friends were taken into the outer circle Knot inner? and asked to suggest a name. By relaying communica- tions it was easy to suggest a number of names without conflict and the day was set for the big event, the teachers having agreed to the program. Fun, good times and many hurried calls to the homes of the four boys began. Each one also had a name to suggest and they ex- changed their confidences fnot agreementsl each with the other. But who was to preside at the meeting when this christening should occur? That was easy, for the faculty, not knowing what was going on in the inner circle, gladly con- sented to one of the four boys acting as the chairman. Then began the real race for the coveted goal. Day after day and evening after eve- ning were spent by the boys being together in their last great effort to inaugurate the paper and give it the first start and most of all the name. How their ideas and hopes were magnified is proven now by the beauti- ful classical editions which have been pub- lished year after year. Nothing was too good and everything was done to meet the seem- ingly great battle. All the reserve power at their command was centered in one great and strenuous last effort, that of having the last word with the proper closing speech. Who should make it and what should be said? Hours of study in English classics, multiplied by hours of searching in the records of the greatest oratorical geniuses of the world re- sulted in their combined efforts in one firm and set address. No critic ever graded closer the phrases to be uttered and Demosthenes never worked harder to overcome his obstacles than these four boys did to put over this great and im- portant measure. One of the four was chosen to deliver the main address and his critics and instructors labored and waited long into the night for him to acquire the right gesture or modulated voice. The hour came, the chosen chairman was in his place and everything was ready. There was a parliamentary practice pro- gram preceeding the event which went off fine and put some pep into the whole after- noon's affair. Then came the announcement of the selec- tion of a name for the paper. Hearts beat fast and every muscle in the four boys was at attention. So fast came the suggestions that the secretary had difficulty in keeping up with the names proposed. Some had pre- pared short speeches and stories with their suggestions and when all the Fixed Names had been given following those who had given no thought to the matter, the chairman by a working sign known only to four boys in the high school gave the same in an un-noticed manner and their orator rose in his place. His face was pale, his eyes red and weak, and his voice yet husky from the many hours of sleepless nights and over work and prac- tice. But he lanuched into that address as if it were all his own. He used every attack known to the four young men and his plea was searching and convincing. Finally draw- ing together the very last ounce of strength he could command he shouted in a loud and excitable manner. Let the colors of the Pitts- burg High School ever float before the breeze! May their symbols never be for- gotten! Let us choose a name in keeping with the banner we hold before us! Long live the Purple and White! All who are in favor of the Purple and White , said the chairman, say Aye. Aye! Aye! Aye! and Aye! shouted the chorus Q4 especially loudl. One long round roar of applause and the victory was won. -P.

When hunting the mallard or hook- ing the bass he is in his element. He hasn't missed a prize fight within a radius of fifty miles since he was two years old. 'Tis said that when you hear an old Hudson Super eating up the road and discover the little Embree boy behind the wheel its time to make tracks an make 'em quick. Bill makes a first-class business manager, too, having been business manager of more things than an ordinary man can count. He would al- so make Al G. Fields a valuable end man- Nuff sed! LAINE Nolan deserves a place among l our notables for many reasons, chief of which lies in the fact that he was appointed and elected by faculty and Seniors and all others concerned to the Post of High Mogul of the Purple and White. and from this noble seat of honor he has wielded the Purple and White wand with the true grace- ful generalship. For many who have heard Blaine's chapel speeches, have readily affirm- ed that they have never known anyone, not even a Frenchman, who could say as much with his hands as Blaine could. His chapel speeches are also noted for their wonderful variety. Now I am not going to say any- thing about the ,Purple and White this morn- ing. We just want you to pay your sub- scriptions, that's all. Now I'm not going to say anything, but we just want you to oh-h- er-oh-just want you to pay your subscriptions -pay your subscriptions, that's all just pay your subscription, now that's all. Had Blaine lived in Shakespeare's time, we feel sure that he iBlaineJ would have served for Iago's model, for Blaine is P. H. S.'s King of Vill- ians, dramatically speaking of course. In real life, The Chief Mogul of the Purple and White is quite harmless. They do say that Blaine sings a little-another claim to great- ness, however, we have it from the bosom of his family, that when he begins to vocal- ize the family cat, the neighbor's cat, in fact all catdom starts to sing too, so that the re- sults are not altogether harmonious. Some are born great, some achieve greatness and others have greatness thrust upon them. What about the latter for the editor of this old book? fEDITOR'S NOTE-I DIDN'T WRITE THIS MYSELFJ 9 a long slim green piece of willow, Ruth Rufus Mack rules the roost as a society queen.

He is without doubt the best cheer leader Pittsburg high has ever boasted. When he leads the school in yells there are wondrous possibilities. The sky's the limit. In debate he's a whang. When it comes to tongue lashing he has any woman in the world backed off the map, and gasping for breath. And speaking of women-oh! OH!-that'S the best part of it, for Clarence Haize is a ladies' man of the worst possible description. He has the devil in his eye. Clarence may come out of it, though. You never can tell. All we can do is hope. And what's this we hear about the girl he left behind him? Mattie, did you say? Better watch your step, Pey- ton.

In September The 'Galesf entertained u large audience with songs and stories of the Indians of many trbies. The beautiful na- tive costumes which Mr. and Mrs. Gale wore greatly augmented the interest in this pleas- ing number. In November the English Light Opera Company gave a delightful musical enter- tainment. Jessie Ray Taylor, the impersonator, came in December. This number was a very pop- ular one, and no one who saw it will have any difficulty in visualizing Mrs. Wiggs and the other fine characters presented. Miss Taylor was followed in January by William Sterling Battis, and although he is an impersonator, there was no repetition of her characters. Mr. 1Battis presented the delightful people of the novels of Charles Dickens. One of the most interesting numbers on the course was given in February by Dr. H. P. Cady, who instructed us in the wonders of liquid air, accompanying his lecture by demonstrations. April brought Ned Woodman, the cartoon- ist. The lecture course was an experiment this year, and it has proven a financial success. The total receipts amounted to 35545. 905 the cost was S29-1.65, and the net gain was 325125. But better than that, it has justified our faith in the desire of the young people for really worth while entertainment. The school anticipates next year's course with pleasure.

Movies Most high schools of the present day have, as part of their equipment, that very helpful means of education, the moving picture ma- chine. Having decided that nothing is too good for P. H. S., we set out to put ourselves abreast of the times. The Hi-Y Club fos- tered the movement, and the Board of Edu- cation bought a Power A, one of the best and most modern machines on the market. The Club then purchased a good screen at a cost of eighty-five dollars. This out- lay has been covered by the receipts from the paid public entertainments which have been given during the year since we have had the machine. Many fine educational films have been used. Among them have been pictures on subjects of agriculture, manufacturing, hy- giene, travel, art and literature. The machine has been handled almost en- tirely by student volunteers. Two of these, Loren Jarrell and Cecil Jones, graduate this spring, but we shall have next year Louis Stroup and Melvin Howe, both of whom have had experience and will doubtless be well able to carry on the work. tx e I 9 w::f,,QQ:f?7 - A 1' ' .

Under these organ- izations the following are the names of Sup- erintendents of the city schools and the names of High School principals: 1885 to 1888, S. W. Black, Supt., John Cur- ran, D. E. Pence, principals. 1888 to 1891, D. E. Pence, Supt., Willis Lawrence, T. P. Bogar, principals. 1891 to 1893, C. M. Light, Supt., D. E. Pence, T. P. Bogar, principals. 1894 to 1897, S. W. Black, Supt., H. H. Ewing, principal. 1897 to 1904, R. S. Russ, Supt., W. R. Blair, A. G. Chaffie, R. E. Hartsock, prin- cipals. 1904 to 1914, A. H. Bushey, Supt., R. E. Hartsock, G. L. Seeley, J. E. Crawford, Kline and J. L. Hutchinson, Principals. 1914 to 1915, E. T. Armstrong, Supt., J. L. Hutchinson, Principal. 1915, J. Bender, Supt., J. L. Hutchinson, Principal. The first high school building in the city was located between 10th and 11th streets on the west side of Broadway. It was a two story brick building consisting of eight rooms all but one of which was occupied by the grade pupils. This one room served the double purpose of study hall and class room. There were only two teachers at this time, the Superintendent, S. W. Black, and the Principal, D. E. Pence. The first class graduated from the Pitts- burg High School was in the year of 1888. The six members of this class, all of whom are still living were Ambrose Shout, whose home is in Texas, George Playter of Joplin, Nora Shout, now Mrs. M. M. Hartzell of this city, Amelia Beasley, now Mrs. E. B. Fergu- son, and Martha Beasley, now Mrs. Norman Baxter. Mrs. Baxter and her sister Mrs. Ferguson both live in Pittsburg. In 1893 the building known as the Central School was erected, and the high school moved into what was then considered quite up-to-date quarters, and it was very proud of its new home. This continued to 'bel its home until there was no longer room to ac- commodate its increased numbers. The Man- ual Training High School Building was then built and ready for occupancy in the fall of 1903. In 1894 the enrollment had reached only 51, and only two teachers were employed. Our High School was the first in the State to introduce Manual Training. We belong to the North Central Associa- tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and IIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIllIllIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllll Page 106 IlllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllVlllllVllVlllllllllllllllIllIllIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll are in the class of high schools having rank of A 1, which is the highest rank.

The Purple and White was founded as a High School paper in the fall of 1899. It was issued monthly at twenty-five cents a year, or five cents a copy. The editorial staff was as follows: ' Editor in Chief, P. T. Ellis. Local Editor, Guy Pees. Business Managers, John Kirkpatrick and Clyde Moore. During his High School course P. T. Ellis held the position of foot ball captain for 3 years, and fully demonstrated his ability as an orator by winning the gold medal in the Crawford County Oratorical Contest of 1898. Guy Pees was salutatorian of the class of 19003 John Kirkpatrick was valedictorian, and Clyde Moore was President of the class during his junior year. The first Commencement Number of the Purple and White was issued at the close of the school year in 1900. It contained twen- ty-four pages, nine of these and three sides of the cover devoted to advertisements. It was a newsy little volume, and the literary side was especially good. The paper was issued monthly until the year 1903. From that time on from two to five numbers were issued during each school year until 1912, when just one number was issued, as has been the custom ever since. The subscription price was retained at 25 cents a year until 1912, when it was increased to fifty cents, which price was retained for a number of years, then on account of the increased cost of printing, paper, etc., it was ffnifud necessary to raise the price to one co ar. During the years since the founding of the Purple and White, the Commencement Num- ber, or Annual, has varied in size from 24 pages to 200 pages. The high school colors, purple and white and the high school yell, boom-a-lac, etc., were adopted, and the athletic association came into existence during the years the members of the staff of the first Purple and White were in the high school. It was very largely through their untiring efforts that these things were brought about.

The team is on the vacant lot, Waiting for their pitcher. But alas, alack, he does not come! He is cleaning rugs with sister. They matched a game with the East Town team, Nicknamed the East Town Pugssg But mother and sister by unanimous vote, Decided he should clean rugs. He owns their only ball and batg The team stands 'round and frets, But the pitcher picks up another rug, And says, Darn these carpets. I'll ask him for the ball and bat. Go on, says one of the Pugs. Better not, says the wise umpire, They'll put you to beating rugs. Bring on your rugs and carpets, ma, I'm mad now through and through. His sweaty hands clutched the beater tight, And the dust just naturally flew.

Toot it. It attracts at- tention to you and your town. It works. It is infalliable, because it acts directly upon the curiosity of human beings, and curiosity is a predominating characteristic in everyone. The dead ones are the silent ones. If you don't believe it look at the animals and the bugs. Turtles, snakes, bedbugs, etc. They might be good for something, who knows, if they had a horn to toot, to let folks know what their good qualities were. Take hens, horses, roosters, katydids, etc. They are in good repute. They've been tooting their horns for ages past. Blow a good clear note, let the jazz bands make the jazz music, but if you can't play anything but jazz music play that. But you can't tell just what the results will be if you toot jazz. Take the katydid now. He's a jazz tooter. He had a terrible time, too, developing a way to toot even jazz music for he can't make a noise with his mouth. As we said before jazz tooting is better than none, but sometimes it puts people in embarrassing attitudes. For instance. John took his girl to church one summer Sunday night, and they took seats by the window. The choir was composed of a female quartette. Just out- side the window was a big elm tree which was full of singing katydids, The boy was listen- ing' intently to the jazz music of the insects, and the girl was listening in rapture to an an- them which was being rendered by the female quartette. When they finished the anthem, she turned to John, tapping him on the shoul- der with her fan. That is perfectly lovely music, isn't it? she said, speaking of the choir. He thinking of katydids, replied: 4'Yes, if you like to hear insects holler. But say, did you know they made that peculiar noise by rubbing their legs together? She stared at him coldly, and to this day John don't know why she cut him cold that night and went home with the old folks. Katydids toot their horn by rubbing their legs together. We toot our horn by telling the readers of the Purple and White of the wonderful opportunities Pittsburg has to of- fer scholars of every kind through its educa- tional institutions. On account of the many schools and churches, Pittsburg has won the enviable reputation of being a good place to live. Toot your horn. Tell the outside world about this. It's good music. Sing that song again.

Effie and Johnnie come into school room and take their seats. Trac-her: Well. children since we are all here. wf-'ll talk about the program we're tc have this afternoon. Did you invite your mothers and fathers to come? lAll children answer that thev didb. Well. then children, l'm going to let you go home to get your costumes ready for vour parts. but remember to come back at 1:30 this afternoon. Children exit: All running out of door which is at back of room. Teacher sits at desk and takes up a sheet of paper which she studies over and then reads. Teacher: Let's see now, the first thing on the program is a Scarf Dance bv Lulu Mc- Pherson. Oh. yes, I forgot that Effie Far- ner is going to dance a little jazz, while Wil- lie sings it. The second thing is a recitation bv Johnnie Hutchinson entitled 'Roses are Redd He's in love with that little bobbed- haired Effie Farner. She's a case. I must say. The next thing is a piano solo by Casey Brown. Goodness I wish that boy thought more about sports: he's such a sissy little fel- low. Then comes Frances Palmer: she's go- ing to characterize Nazimova. I wonder what will become of that girl. Then there's Pearl L'Heureux: goodness, she's a shy little thing! I can't ever get her to say a line. I think it's a shame that some children are so back- ward. William Menne's next: hc's going to sing four or five jazz songs: he's just crazy about popular music-won't sing anything else. Then comes that little Collins girl. She is going to give the death scene of Little Nell from 'The Curositv Shop,' by Dickens. She is such a sober little thing. I guess that's all now. I'm certainly anxious that they do well before their mothers and fathers this after- noon. SCENE II. About 2:30 in the afternoon, program is nearly ready to start. People are all gather- ed in the auditorium, waiting for the first number on the program. Teacher appears before the audience and makes the following announcement: Lulu McPherson cannot appear on the program right now, because she forgot her scarf and cannot give the scarf dance without it: she is going home to get it and will give a pretty little dance at the last of the program. Teacher disappears behind the curtain and there begins to talk to Lulu McPherson in an irritated manner. Teacher: Lulu. you hurry home: you've already spoiled the first part of the program. Lula: Listen. teacher, Willie wants to ride me home on his bicycle. Can't he teach- er? He said he wants to. I'm going to sit on the handle bars. Mayn't he? Teacher: Yes, go on but hurry up. fTeacher runs around the dressing rooms and halls looking wildly for Johnnie Huchinson who is to appear second or the program. She finds him holding Effie Farner's hand. Teacher: Johnnie!' the people are wait- ing to hear you speak your piece: hurry up and go out and say it! Johnnie. I won't say it unless Effie can go out with me. Teacher: Very well, take her out and say it to her. - Johnnie gets out and says his piece with much vim since Effie is holding his hand. Casey Brown next played his piece, fin- ished it and started it over again. The teacher had to stop him: Casey always did like to perform. Teacher: Frances Palmer even though you are going to characterize Nazimova, you can't go out on the stage looking like that. You take off some of that paint. fFrances reluctantly does as the teacher says and then appearsl. 'Teacherz Pearl, won't you gplease say that little piece you know? Pearl:, Nol I won't. I'm too scared, I never did speak and I won't. Teacher goes out and announces that Wil- lie Menne will sing jazz and little Effie Far- ner will dance a few of the new dance steps. They go out and dance and sing. After they come behind the scenes the teacher says, Effie! I'm ashamed of you. I thought I told you not to shimmief' Effie: Well, I just wanted to shock some of the old maids in the audience. Teacher: My goodness! What will be- come of all you children, I'm afraid you'll never amount to anything. Now you can all go home.
