Gillenwaters r I iiimif Fifty years is quite a long time, thinking in terms of the present. A half century ago Indians still roamed portions of the Western plains and the city of Pittsburg Was but twelve years old. But 'twas just 50 years ago the first class was graduated from the Pittsburg Senior High School. What an important and eventful 50 years they have been, years which have seen more progress in all lines of endeavor than have combined centuries before. Through these years the Pittsburg Senior High School has taken long and regular strides forward to keep abreast of the times. First occupying a small, iframe building, the high school now is housed in a large, modern structure with a faculty of 30 highly trained educators. Since its beginning, the high school has been located in five different buildings-the first Wooden structure, the Washington sihool building recently razed, the Central school building, the Roosevelt junior high school building soon to be wrecked, and the present edifice erected in 1921. HIIHWUHU The past 50 years have seen addi.ion of many features to the educational program. The first musical group, an orchestra of six, was organized in 1912. This has developed into a music department embracing boys' and girls' glee clubs, mixed chorus, a large band, and a fine orchestra, not to mention quartets and smaller groups. The journalism department, founded in 1915, now publishes a large, six-column, weekly newspaper. Its first product was a small, semi-monthly paper with four-column pages. One of the oldest organizations is the Hi-Y, formed in 1912. The student council was organized in 1918 and the Girl Reserve was organized three years later. In 1921 the public speaking and printing departments also were added. The woodwork department was a 1926 curriculum addition. These are only the major steps marking the forward march of P. H. S. There are many others, all having roles in the annals of the school, but we must pass on, remem- bering the past and looking to the future. The success of any institution is greatly influenced by its beginning. We, therefore, dedicate this, the Golden Anniversary year- book, to that first class of 1888. The path has been long and the obstacles many, but as that pioneer class finished its course in a day of educational shortcomings, so have successors built up a tradition of scholarship and valor to Whfch We hope the class of 1938 can add at least a little. Two full generations have passed since the class of 1888 Went into the World, but with our growth and development, let us not forget those who set the patternifor us 50 years before. Their achievements in the face of difficulties now removed have made pos- sible our graduation at this time. lHHll Hi lIIINllNlS Buildings School Board Faculty ,2 Glam Senior Junior Sophomore 3 Naimzim Athletics Organization 41 Weaione King Queen Niss Pittsburg Snapshots 5,44ZWLmmq BOARD U TIU OFFICERS Presidcnt ,,,,,., ,A,, ,,.. ,,,,.,,,,,,,,, ,.,, ,,,A,, C , M .

Sedoris The regular Board meetings are helgl on the first Monday of each month in the Board of Education offices which are located in the Senior High School Building. Special meetings may be called by the President of the Board. The need for a new high school was evident so in the year of 1921 and '22 the school was constructed at its present location. At the close of the school year of 1923, the enrollment was 961 with 30 teachers. This was an increase of 115 per cent over the enrollment of 1919 which was 447 with a teaching force of 18. The ground covers an area of four blocks. Page Eight It is commendable that this annual shall be dedicated to the first graduating class of the Pittsburg High School. It is impossible to evaluate the influence this school has exercised in the lives of the individuals who have attend- ed it during the past fifty years. We believe' this influence, for the most part, has been a determining factor for good in the lives of these' individuals. In the years that are ahead, may this school continue to inspire youth to greater and nobler ideals. M. M. ROSE, B. S, and M. S. Superintendenl VVe like to think of this Golden Jubilee ' annual as a product of the senior class of 1938. It is a real honor to be graduating as the 50th class for this high school. I wonder if many of you know the wonder- ful changes that have taken place in this high school in general in fifty years. D0 you know that fifty years ago Pittsburg's high school occupied three rooms with three teachers on the second floor of a small two story building between Ninth and Tenth streets on Broadway ?-that at that time there was but one other high school in this district?-one organized in Fort Scott a year or so earlier? Many of the membe'rs of this class will live to see the one hundredth anniversary of their high school when your grand children will be graduating. I, like you, am wondering what a high school will be like-just what will be' the nature of P. H. S. when you visit it in 1988, to see your grand children graduate? J. L. HUTCHINSON, B. S. and M. S.

The Dragons won 9 out of 10 games this year. Mr. Gudgen has accepted an' assistant coaching job at K. S.T. C. f'Arkie Hoffman, . basketball coach, will re- 5 lace Mr. Gudgen. DUTCH NOGEL 5 Co-Captain - End UDutch held down the Qld position for the Gud- , gen eleven and did a very good job of it. Qk Dutch was one of ' the reasons that the Pitt jg-.team had a line that held many teams scoreless. Nogel was selected on the SEK team and by his laying he deserved 8 Lxsuch a position. X -v Gam ALFRED STEELE Tackle Slick was another one' of the giants who bol- stered the purple line. Slick stood 6 ft. 2' in- ches and tipped the scales at 185 pounds, He was selected on the second SEK all-star team and his ability will be greatly missed by the Dragons next year. CARL BEARD Fullback Carl was the plunging fullback for the purple warriors. He was the best line plunger in the SEK league and captured a position on the SEK all-Star team. Beard is a senior this year and will be greatly missed by the Dragon eleven next season. Page Fifty-nine LAWRENCE FADLER Co-Captain - Quarterback 'fBud was the triple threat star of the champ- ion Dragon eleven this year and he earned a berth on the SEK all- star team as quarterback. Fadler played his last and best year for PHS. His running and passing ability was a large factor in the winning of the league crown. JOHN LAN CE Halfback Johnny was the most consistent player on the purple eleven. His steady blocking and playing was a main asset in the suc- cess of the Gudgen elev- en. This is Johnny's last year to play for PHS and his place will be hard to fill. BILL LAWRENCE Center Bill was the lad who backeu up me line so Well for the Dragons when the going was tough. Lawrence was always a threat to thc opponents and played a good brand of ball throughout the season. Bill was selected on the second SEK all-star team. His fine playing will be greatly missed bv the purple team next year. JOE BEGANDO Halfback joe was one of the fastest backs in the league and contributed many touchdowns to the Pitt tallies. Begando was the lad who scored the win- ning touchdown in the Parsons game, clinching the league crown for PHS. Joe is a senior and will not be' back next year to play for the Dragons. CHARLES RITTER Guard Chuck,' was one of the few regulars back from last year's team and who was shifted from the tackle post to the guard position. Chuck was a hustling lad who was in there scrapping all the time. He' was placed on the second SEK all-star team. He will not be back next year. EUGENE RIDENOUR Guard Eugene was the shifty guard who filled the vac- ancy left by Carl Beard who went into the back- field. Ridenour was a hustler and a fighting player who never gave up. His pep was an es- sential thing in the Dra- gons victories. He was elected co-captain for next ye'ar's team and much is expected from him. WAYMON EDWARDS Quarterback Waymon is the lad Who will probably fill the signal calling posi- tion for Hoffman next season. Edwards was a dependable passer for the Gudgen eleven and has another year to compete for PHS. Much is ex- pected from him. JACK MARQUARDT Halfback jack held down a back- field position on the Purple squad and was a threat at all times while on the' gridiron. Mar- quardt played an alert game and was a shifty ball carrier. He won his letter and will be back next year for more PHS football wars. EDWIN RYAN Quarterback Ryan was the senior lad who earned his let- ter by his hustling spirit. Eddie'l was a shi.t.', peppy lad who never gave up. He will not be back to plav for the Dra- gons next year. JAMES ZIMMERMAN Tackle James was one of the' giants of the Dragon forward wall who could always be relied upon to get his man. James was a player who improved every game. Zimmerman stands 6 feet 3 inche' and weighs 185 Doundy He has one 'wore year to play for PHS. CHARLES RAY Guard Chuckl' was an all- around player for the local team this season and played like a veteran. A'Chuck finished the' season playing, guard on the purple forward wall. Ray was a very depend- able player and will not be back in the Dragon lineup next year. HAROLD MISHMASH 'Center Harold is a rangy lad who backed up the line for the Purple team. Mishmash kept up the spirit of the team with his consistent chatter and fighting spirit. He earned his letter and will be a great aid to the' team next season. Q Page Sixiy me l We IWW? did it excep Well. Johnny de- into a good pas- ser and his services will be a great aid to the purple eleven next year. V adv' . -uns i JOE KELLER Halfback joe' is the lad who 'er gives up and who e be back next season 'g ing for the Dragons. eller is a fast back who asses exceptionally well nd will be of aid to the itt teanl next season. X . RO WILKERSON nd Harold' ayed end for the local a did a good ob oft ' . ilkie was ood o ense and has ne ior ar in which to his services for the ixgons. The high school boasted one of its best teams in years this season. Under the skillful hands of Prentice Gudgen the Dragons put on the field a well balanced team. It had a fast X offense and its defense was the best in the league. Coach Gudgen finished his high school coaching career at PHS with another league ff? tw JACK HARMON Fullback Jack was the only fresh- man who lettered last year and who proved to be a better back this sea- son. Harmon was very fast on the field and has two more years to play with the Pittsburg team. DON GERMAN Halfback Don is another back who will be back trying for a position on the next year Dragon eleven. Ger- man is a fast, depend- able player who has good running ability and will show more of his wares next season. WARREN BOTTENFIELD Tackle Warren is the smallest lad on the squad but who surprised his opponents by his quick thinking and smart playing ability. Betts is only 5 feet 4 inches tall but showed plenty of fight and grit to earn a place on the purple squad. Botts,' will be back next year for a PHS line position and much is expected from him. crown. During his five years at PHS, he has produced two undisputed championships, one tied championship, one second place position, and one fourth place ranking. His pleasing ways and friendship earned him a fine name at PHS and his absence leaves a gap that neither years nor events can fill.

The sophomore-freshman team was somewhat of a championship team itself in winning five out of eight games. The coaches of this team were Theodore Carnino and Fritz Snodgrass. Much of the win- ning success of this team should be handed to these two fine coaches. Both worked out daily with the players and should receive recognition. The entire squad was composed of only sophomores and freshman. The team had a good passing and running attack and many of the touchdown passes were 25-yards in length. The youngsters lost their first three games to tough opponents, but after hitting their stride they never lost thereafter. This is the first time that a squad of only sophomores and freshmen had a team and it will no doubt furnish the varsity with about all of its stars.

Hoffman's team won 15 out of 20 games and finished up in fifth position in the' SEK league. Arkie will have two duties next year, be- ing coach of football, and also coach of basket- ball. ' WAYMON EDWARDS Waymon is only a jun- ior this year and will be of g r e a t service to 'tArkiel' next season. Waymon played guard on the team and had a good eye for the basket. EDWIN RYAN Ryan was the sharp- shooting forward who was the sparkplug of the Purple attack and was always relied upon to add points for PHS, 'Eddie's ability in hitting the bas- ket earned him a for- ward position on the SEK all-star team. Page Sixty-three JOHN LANCE john was the most con- sistent player on the squad and his playing was of a smooth style. Lance was a good defen- sive man and held his op- ponents to a few points. This is John's last year and his playing will be greatly missed by the Hoffman cagers next sea- son. LAWRENCE FADLER Bud played forward on the Dragon five and was very fast on the court. Fadler was a good passer and his team- work will be greatly missed by the Dragons next year. ALFRED STEELE Slick was the giant center of the purple five who was always on hand to get the ball off the backboard and take it down court. Steele was tall and used this ad- vantage very nicely. This is Steele's last year for PHS. BILL LAWRENCE Bill played center on the purple five and was always sure to be in the middle of things. Law- rence' was a great defen- sive lad and his playing was an asset to the squad. This is his last year to play for PHS. NED TRYON Ned is the lanky lad who will fill the center position for the Dragons next year. Tryon is only a sophomore and is rap- idly improving. His height and shooting abil- ity will be a great aid to the purple quintet next season.

The purpose of the G. A. A. organization is to promote physical efficiency among the girls of the school, to develop a better school splrit, to recognize the athletic ability of girls, and to increase the sportmanship of all the members. This organization has a point system, including Health, General, and Sports, by which the girls may earn awards such as a silver trophy, a G. A. A. Pin, a large letter P, a small letter P, and an insignia. The girls enjoy the following sports during the year: tennis, touch-football, ping pong, badminton, basketball, armory ball, shuffle- board, and volleyball. Chinese checkers, also, won much favor among the less active games. The social activities which the girls had included picnics, a chili supper, and many hikes. The success of the G. A. A. is due to the co-operation of the spon- sor, Miss Lanyon, all the members and the officers, who are chosen the last of each year, so that they will he seniors and juniors. Page Sixty-eight INlHHMUHHl SPHHIS This year due to construction of the new school building, intramural sports were greatly limited. The only outdoor sports participated in were baseball and horse shoes. This is the first time for many years that baseball has been included in the intramural lineup. A smaller number took part in intra- mural sports this year due to the, fact that the major sports made more room than ever before for boys who were interested. A total of 250 boys were entered in the intramural program and were divided ac- cording to ability and skill into eight in- tramural groups. Each group was spon- sored by a faculty member. These spon- sors were Claude Huffman, Ellsworth Briggs, Lester Ramsey, William Corporon, Howard Lundquest, Charles Thiebaud, Theodore Carnino, and John White. A high grade of sportsmanship predominated throughout the intramural year. The intramural sports participated in were basketball, boxing, track, golf, tennis, baseball, table tennis, and swimming. In the intramural basketball tourna- ment, Huffman's team took the class A tournament. Members of the team were Merlin Kirk, Jack Broyles, Joe Keller, Clifford Utermoehlen, Harold Wilkerson, Page Sixty-nine Fred Williams, and Albert Earle. From all the players who competed, an all-star team Was chosen. Members of the team were Richard Dixon, Merlin Kirk, Verne Kennedy, Jack Broyles, and Richard Al- sup. This sport has the greatest turnout of all on the intramural program. The intramural golf tourney was won by Merlin Kirk with a score Of 75. Bob Pratt placed second with .Harry String- ham third, Jack Roderick fourth and James Zimmerman fifth. These players also made up the P. H. S. golf team. In the intramural ladder tennis tourney first ranking was won by Richard Alsup with A Eugene Reidy second, Wallace Wright third and Ralph Taylor fourth. These players were on the school tennis team, as long as they maintained their ranking. In the intramural boxing tourney the following boys Won in their respective divisions: 115 pound class, John Slaveng 125 pound class, John Buessg 135 pound class, Jack Miller, 145 pound class, Art F anskag 155 pound class, George Dinneen and the unlimited class, Dutch Nogel. Many sports could and would be ad- ded to the intramural program if room and facilities permitted.

Some of the projects the Student Council has sponsored are campus clean-up, the home-coming day program, book exchange and National Safety Week. It has been a custom of the Student Council on Arbor Day to plant a new tree, to be dedicated to a member of the faculty. The tree this year was dedicated to Lester Ramsey, shorthand instructor, on Tuesday, April 12, 1938. Page Seventy-one i333 ? ?

The annual conference for the Girl Reserves of this district was held at Neodesha from November 19 to November 21. Twelve mem- bers and three sponsors attended the meet where they learned what the neighboring chapters were doing. One of the outstanding events of the year was the Bundle Day which the Girl Reserve and Hi-Y organizations co-sponsored. This plan was such a success that it is to be made an annual affair. The two organizations also sponsored a special entertainment by the Dixie Melody Masters which took the place of the annual G. R. and Hi-Y play. The Girl Reserve organization was divided into six groups, each headed by a sponsor. The girls met in these groups every other week for a discussion period. Page Seventy-nine Page Eighlg I1HHl'llHNIl WHIH This year's Purple and White is bound in gold in celebration of Pittsburg High School's golden anniversary. Fifty years ago this school presented its first class with diplomas. This issue is dedicated to the few students who were members of that class of 1888. The first annual was published in 1900 under the leadership of its editor, the late P. T. Ellis. The staff were truly pioneers. They published the book without the aid of any member of the faculty. Mr. Ellis wished to help issue this number, but was prevented by his death in August of last year. Members of the staff are chosen by the annual sponsors and J. L. Hutchinson with the aid of the faculty. Students were selected for their ability in various phases of work connected with their positions.

This is the first year that the debate classes have' ever paid for themselves. To begin the season this4Lear,-Laslebate tournament was held between the debaters at the High School. One' hundred twelve debates were held in various class rooms. Pratt and VVilliams won this tournament with March- banks and Akey placing second. Former P. H. S. students acted as judges for the finals and semi-finals of the tournament. They were Howard Marchbanks, Leo Howard, jim Hand, Ivan Adams, joe Harrigan, and Virgil Coop- rider. Before the S. E. K. Tournament at Parsons and the Topeka Tournament, a series of twelve debates were held with Arma, Riverton and Mineral. The season total was two hundred sixty debates. There were 148 tournament debates with 55 wins and X0 losses. Along with debate, of course, goes extern- poraneous speaking. An extemporaneous speak- ing contest was held at P. H.

In March. 1935, Mr. Williams left and Nlr. Gilbert Butts took over the depart- ment for a few months, leaving on October 7, 1935. Mr. Theodore Camino took over the job on October 21, 1935. Since that time several changes and improvements have been made in the department. How- ever, it is still in a crowded condition which is quite a handicap to good work. A student is permitted to minor in woodwork at the present time. An advanced drawing class was taught this year for the first time, consisting of advanced machines, architecture, and structural steel for juniors and seniors. An interesting thing to be said of the woodwork department is that a great many boys take advantage of free periods to do extra work.
