MMWM AX M. M. ROSE, B. S., M. S. SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS I have been Superintendent of Schools in Pittsburg for the past seventeen years. During this time I have seen many changes for the betterment of the public school system. With the cooperation and sup- port of the Board of Education, in this period of time, We have built the Lincoln School, the Lakeside School, the Horace Mann School, the Eugene Field School, the Washington School, the Roosevelt Junior High School, and made improvements on the Senior High School including a modern public address system. Iam proud to have been a part of this building program. I feel that we have one of the best and most up-to-date school systems in Kansas, one which boys and girls should be proud to have had the privilege to attend. I am glad to have had a part in your educational program. I covet for every graduate of this high school a successful career and may your journey through life be successful and prosperous. J. L. HUTCHINSON. B. S.. M. S. PRINCIPAL-EMERITUS Mr. J. L. Hutchinson has played a very important part in the success of Pittsburg High School. He is now principal-emeritus, having retired last year after twenty-nine years of faithful service as principal. During those years, he was always willing to help us solve whatever problems may have confronted us. To Mr. Hutchinson, for his loyal and untiring efforts in our behalf, we express our sincere gratitude and appreciation. 3 MADGE WALTZ B. S.

For their efforts we vow, to the best of our ability, to exceed their highest expectations in regard to our future services for the good of humanity. SECTION II To the junior class we surrender the long-envied center section of seats in the auditorium, on the condition that aforesaid seats graciously be offered to us on each Home-coming Day. SECTION III To the athletic department we leave a challenge to retain all trophies, although we regret taking some of the excellent players. SECTION IV , To various clubs, departments, and organizations we will our best wishes for continued success and progress in their endeavors. SECTION V To the entire student body we bestow the pungent aromas ascending from the efforts of the chemists, the humorous CPD jokes of the instructors, the lunch hour rush for a place in' the cafeteria line, and the good times of the school parties.

Won't you all join me on my trip around the world? My traveling companions are Mary I .ou Innis, Leona Lee Holloway, and Albertine Cole. We are boarding our ship here in San Diego where we have been visiting Alice Loth. By the way, she is now happily married. Ummm! I can see this isn't going to be a boring trip at all. Guess who just walked on deck? None other than Captain Max Rose himself. Wow! But that isn't half of it. Just look at his crew. They are Charles Ishmael, Dean Johnson, Marvin Gough, Harry Lance, Earl Minnick, Arnold Seaman and Warren Zim- merman. Our first day at sea and I have just met our chief cook and bottle washer! Don't tell a soul but they are Bob Rose and Mary Ramsey. Incidentally, when did Ramsey learn to cook? So far I feel fine. Hawaii, at last! It is really lovely. We are staying at the Diamond Head Hotel. It's the dump that made Diamond Jim Chaney famous. He still owns it and his staff of employees includes Jack Collins, Bill Hazen, Paul Ozbun, and Edwin Payne. Collins makes a darling bell-hop. Sailing-Sailing-Over the ocean blue! That's us at present. I got awfully sea-sick todayLat least, that was a good excuse to get handsome Dr. John Philips to hold my hand. He is the ship's doctor and his nurses are Dorothy Anderson and Marvel Lee Smith. We docked at Foochung, China, today at 11:00 A. M. We had lunch at the Rattlesnake Cafe where Evelyn Wilcher is so famous for her chow mein. Her assistants are Verna Matney, Delores Moran, Retha Million, Jack Mead, Henry Oldham, and Lloyd Sills. On to India. You will never believe it, but we saw the original rubber man, Bob Massmann, and snake charmer, Rosemary Cowan, who also makes a habit of charming men. A few of the latter are Jack Van Hoy, Jay ltennick, and Bob Friggeri. An Indian extra just came out with an account of a most disastrous wreck. The victims were Richard Breiner, who has been studying driving under John Rule, and his friend and companion, Martin Lee. They were both slighlty inebriated, Coroner Steve Ball said today, when he turned the bodies over to Embalmer b Green. That's enough of India for me, so here we are in Russia. We were entertained this evening by the Gin-Till- You-Spin Club. President, Merle McClure, Vice Presi- dent, Billy Bourgg Secretary, Louis Axtellg Treasurer, Ted Davidson. They have just remodeled their club, which was formerly the Red Arrow. Jim Myers and Marvin Tucker are the new managers. Some members of the club are Louis Barbero, Ermal Cosman, Colin Barkell, and Charles Bennett. En Francois fWhat'si left of itj, we visited Made- moiselle Ilene Bennett's fashion salon this morning. Her sales girls are Marcine Stewart, Delores Bales, Betty Center, Ruth Cooper, and Mary Kay Crosby. Her models and exclusive designers are terrific! They are Nellie Jo Tharrington, Jean Resler, Sara Maie Frakes, Udene Smith, Christina Walche, Mardell Kirk, and Jean Myers. And of course we visited the Rue De La Paix night club. Their motto is Feel at home with our Jerome, who is the master of ceremonies. Mr. Degen has taken over Artie Shaw's orchestra and is now leading it him- self. Mary Alice Glover and Charles Newcomb were his guest artists that night. We saw the college in Paris where Professor Harry Bradshaw introduced us to his other teachers, who were Dorothy Breiner, Inez Davis, Charles Evans, Mary Pauline Guinn, Velma Bath, Evangeline Graver, and Claude Huffman, Jr. They specialize in all phases' of campusology. We arrived in Spain late today and took in a beauty contest. We decided that those senoritas have nothing on our PHS beauties-Sammy Lou Heaton, Betty Forrester, and Shirley Johnston. One of the most spectacular weddings of the year took place there today when Violet Waggoner said her I do's to Reverend Herbert Butler. The lucky man, of course, was Tom Shultz. Zoe Wilma Baade played the Wedding March and I Love You Truly, which was sung by Shirley Ainsworth. Patty Barkell danced at the wedding and the couple's attendants were Lauraetta Ashline, Mable Bain, Martha Nell Whit- comb, Charles Thomas, Russell Sherman, and Jack Rhorer. Florist Herman Brinkman decorated the church and designed the bride's bouquet. Martha Nell caught the bouquet, by the way. -37 CLASS PROPHECY KCONTI NUEDD We watched the squadrons practicing this after- noon. Some of the aviators were Calvin Blasor, Charles Brennan, Cecil Brown, Don Bryan, Wilma Craig, Rex Daily, Wanda Gibbons, Harold Hager, Lysle McDon- ald, Melvin Wilbert, Vaudine Ridenour, Rita Taver- naro, and Nadine Pethtel. On the boat coming home, actor Maurice CMorrisj Moffat's companion, Harlan Peterson, became quite illl and was attended to by Dr. George Pogson. His nurse, Georgeanne Switzer, had the prescription filled at Howard Fa.rrimond's drug store. Being unable to cure him, Dr. Pogson sent to New York for specialist Harold Foster and nurses Florine Wilson and Johnnie Roeber. They were flown out to the ship by Jimmy Young and Walter Smith. Afton Ragan and Delores Scott came with them. For your information, Howard Farrimond is the pharmacist. Mary Grace Heckert is his assistant, Bill Heidy is the soda jerkerg Bill Mansfield and William Maier are the delivery boys, and Darlene Minter, Betty Montgomery, Jane Pratt, and Geraldine Rees are the clerks. We docked in New York this morning and began our tour of the city. Our guide and taxi drivers were John Schneider and Bob Spragg. First, we saw the Ryan Memorial, in honor of Francis Ryan, who was First in sports, first in school, and first in the hearts of his classmates. Then visited the Peterson Center dedicated to the memory of Betty Peterson, who was an outstanding laboratory technician of her time. YVe went through the Art Gallery where famous works of Lavern Pelphrey, Marvin Page, Bob Lehmer, Juanita Scott, Eileen Utermoehlen, Ruth Scott, Clarence Ziehlke, Norman Grassi, and Tommy Askins were displayed. Caretakers of the place are William Arthur, Lloyd Beasley, Vida Boucher, and Betty Carpenter. We were entertained this P. M. at a ball given in honor of Debutante Nancy Soper. Other guests present were Jean Snider, Ruth Slankard, Sunshine Sherman, Celia Reed, Janet Still, Virginia Tucker, Bill Wilbert, Bill Price, John Resnar, Dean Rogers, Bob Moore, and Margaret Robins. Corsages and floral decorations were furnished by Clifford Gregg, florist. In our spare time we attended the Tolly Keck School of Dramatics. Harriet McCollister is one of the Profs. Some of their first pupils were Virginia Hill, Roy Holden, Bob Johnson, Lawrence Glenn, Juanita Gillenwater, and Betty Mae Fougnie. All equipment for the school was furnished by Doyle Frederick, Florence Hite, and Charles Jameson. The school also provides for a correspondence course in charge of Bill Waltz. All mail sent in or out is censored by Sammy Van Gorden and Nick Tavernaro. Tonight is the opening night for All This and Marchbanks Too, here on Broadway. Donald March- banks and Maxine Longstaff are the stars. Other characters are Betty McAnally, who does an adagio act with Yehudi, Virginia Shaffer, Gene Rogers, Bill McAdams, and Bill Hood. Mr. Marchbanks gave such an outstanding performance that PHS's talent scout, W. C. Wilson, signed him up for five years. His con- tract states that he cannot become married in this time. It was a little difficult, but a Marchbank never fails, so he broke his engagements to Doralea Wheeler, Eva Clark, and Helen Kriegsman without batting an eye. Incidentally, this was hard on Art Ligon and Jack Hoffman's jewelry business, to say nothing of the disappointment of Reverend Jay Holt. The time has come when we must say goodbye to New York. Bert Grant and Mildred Meier, newlyweds, are going to accompany us as far as Arkansas, where they will make their new home. The first filling station was a bit of a surprise. Our old friends Russell Boatright, Max Briggs, Charles Buford, and Clayton Clark are running it. It is definitely modernistic, including automatic gas pumps and bottle openers. It was designed and built by Lawrence Crowe, Harley Devine, Robert Dollar, and Dorothy Edwards, who added the feminine touch of lace curtains. We are planning to stop in Kansas City to see Anita Stewart's wild animal show. She, herself, is the lion trainer and tight rope walker. Senor Paul Ward is the elephant and monkey keeper. Some of her special side-show attractions are Martha Rose VVilliams, the headless woman, Margie Wheeler, Jesse Jean Williams, and Betty Claunch, ballet dancers, Bill Price, Lowell Geisler, and Loyal Johnson, the three super maniacs. We have just returned from the circus. It was plenty O. K. We saw Prima Donna Virginia Plagens in a concert this afternoon. Assisting her on the pro- -38 CLASS PROPH ECY CCONTI NUEDJ gram were Betty Payne, Jesse Kotur, Dorothy Elliott, and Olive Hanshaw. Arrived home about 2:50 today. Arnold Bois- drenghien, the old maestro, met us at the station with his band and chorus of Carl Pethtel, Bill Ramage, Richard Masterson, Fred Modlin, Jimmy Alderson, Helene Adams, Virginia Davis, Glenna Dowty, Paul- ine Elias, Mildred Endicott, Mae Flynn, and Eudene Mingori. On our arrival home, were were encountered by Policemen William CBillj Prince, James Cass, and Howard Allison, who are on the trail of the notorious bandit Don German. They have captured his gun moll, Dorothy Evans, and some of his mob-William Moore, and Marcine Stewart. Newspaper reporters Jack Lemon and Ruth Slankard, who were there also, informed us that Dog- eye German had kidnapped Princess Joan Dougherty and was holding her for ransom. The only other people present at the kidnapping were Shirley Billington and Roy Cronister. They were questioned but could tell nothing of the whereabouts of Dog-eye. We had a wonderful trip and maybe we'll be seeing you all again in another year. eau aww ZR i s 5 .rl WW -89 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS JACK CREWS ....... ....... P resident BONNIE McCASKILL --- ....

' GI I I XXX Q, Ii OLD GRADS There were 151 old grads who returned December 20, 1940, for the fifteenth annual homecoming sponsored by the Student Council. The earliest class represented in the roll call was that of 1896. The program consisted of Welcoming speeches by Principal Finis M. Green, Principal-emeritus J. L. Hutchinson, and Student Council Presi- dent Jack Collins. Harvey Lanier, president of last year's council, re- sponded. Darrel Cochran, president of the council in 1936-37, gave the history of the annual homecoming. Vocal numbers were sung by Mac French and Leslie Jones. Homecoming Day, an original poem, was given by Jeanne Stevens. After the regular homecoming program, all old grads were in- vited to attend a dance in the Roosevelt Junior High School Gymnasium. WW Nihleliai IN STRIVING Fon AN EDUCATION, we must not overlook the qualities of sportsmanship and fair play, which are essential in char'acte1'building. To the athletic department goes credit for helping us to develop these qualities. 1: C2 ,J U., ,- ,- c : P-H P1 : : -A-I :- - 6 :L CC. 2 Q i 5 'SL .': if if 9 C G., , - UI Ill Q4 M Y- ge LJ 5 Z C L. 2 E N C L1 5 V1 5 1, S- La ,JC S1 -O-3 if A. - il' If E. il IL. 4., C' S I: if , f .53 Q1 L l 'Q U0 .H 0- O -H -o-f I-4-4 U v-. 5 o IZ E 2 45 no ...I :- 2 P.

The Petunias, retaining their name from last year, finished this season with three wins, two losses, and one tie. Although not having as many games this year as last, they held their own against other seasoned teams. The sophomores learn how to block, kick, tackle, and the other things necessary for a good team. If a SEASON'S RECORD player will put all he has into learning all he can in his P, b 7 M, d 6 sophomore year, he will probably develop into a good ltts wg In en ' player. Pittsburg 1 Fort Scott- Pittsburg Columbus A lot of credit should go to the two coaches, Mr. Pittsburg Columbus Carl Ison and Mr. Bob Troughton.

Because of too many semesters, he was forced to quit at the end of the first semester. 'LBOOTSW MCWILLIAMS -FORWARD Boots' ability to pass, and to fool the opponent with his trickery, was a great aid to the team. Because he had to move, he was unable to continue to play after the first semester.

It is a club in which any girl who so desires may enter. The G. A. A. meets every VVednesday after school for the girls of PHS who are interested in sports. Une of its main purposes is to give the privilege of participating in sports to those girls who do not have physical education classes during the day. The members may earn awards by a point system. It includes accomplishments in sports, health and other miscellaneous activities. VVitlr a certain number of points, the girls may re- eeive awards such as an insignia, a large and small' letter PN, a G. A. A. pin, and a silver trophy, which usually is obtained only after three years of hard work. Some of the sports in which the girls participate during the school year are basketball, touch football, armory ball, volleyball, tennis, and swimming. The social activities include hikes, picnics, aml chili suppers. The girls plan the meetings, which are followed through under the supervision of Miss Helen D. Lanyon, physical education teacher. The success of this organization in accomplishing its purposes depends upon the cooperation of its officers, members, and its sponsor. Miss Lanyon. G. A. A.

STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS JACK COLLINS ......... .I AY lt ICNNIC K .............,. ZOIC VI'lI,MA BAADE ..,.. . l'1I,I,SWOR'1'H BRIGGS ,..... 'I'he purpose of the Student Council is not to govern the school Init to act as a medium between the school administration and the student body and to work for the betterment of the school. More powers and duties are being given thu Student Council a.s it proves its ability to assume the responsibilities involved. Our new principal, Finis M. Green, appointed Mr. lillsworth lt. Briggs as Student Council sponsor to succeed Miss lflffie Farner, who, after eighteen years of splendid work with the Council, was asked to give leadership to the English department. In addition to being sponsor, M r. Briggs serves as advisor for all five committees. The election of officers was quite similar 'to adult elections. Nominating petitions requiring twenty- five student signatures were circulated by candidates. 'l'hey campaigned by means of posters, letters, songs, hiring pep bands, etc. After a final campaign as- sembly, in which each candidate plead his cause be- fore the student body and was lauded by his campaign manager, popular vote determined that Jack Collins be president: .lay ltennick, vice-president, and Zoe Vt'ilma Baade, sccretary-treasurer. Council representatives were elected from the 28 homo rooms, and at the end of the semester had to campaign for reelection in whatever home room they were shifted to, since first hour classes are the home rooms, and many had been changed. The committees and their chairmen were: Consti- tution, Bob Friggerig Public and Private Property, Arnold Boisdrcnghieng Social Welfare, Jean Snider, I.aw and Order, Bill Hoodg and Sanitation, Harlan Peterson. 'l'he l.aw and Order Connnittee conducted an honor study hall in the visual education room two hours daily to help crowded conditions in the library.

Sponsor tor system was discontinued with reliance on appeals over our new public address system expected to secure the cooperation of students in the hall and in the cafeteria line. A special Constitution Committee revised and im- proved the constitution. This year, for the first time in the history of thc school, the Student Council had full charge of the All- sehool Parties. For each party the Social VV:-lfare Committee prepared and supervised a game room in the gym's band dome for those not caring to dancer the Public and Private Property Committee equipped and maintained a checkroom in the ticket office: the Sanitation Committee supplied the machine and records and supervised the colored students' dances in the band room, and the other members of the council did an efficient job of keeping doors. Fort Scott and Coffeyville students were our guests at dances follow- ing basketball games with their teams. The Annual Homecoming, a Student Council project, was held December 20, 19-i-0. Following the auditorium program, an Old Grad dance was held in the gymnasium. Homecoming Day was acclaimed by all to be very successful. Among the various other worthwhile activities sponsored by the Student Council were the all-student assemblies conducted during the latter part of the year, and the Arbor Day ceremony at which thc council planted and dedicated trees to the late Mr. Sylvester Blacks-tt, a former custodian in the Junior High building, and to the late Mr. I.. K. Brous, former general science teacher in Roosevelt .lunior High School. An official pin was chosen for the council by the members thelnselves.

During these years the club has gained in popularity, and this year has 186 members-the largest membership in thc 29 years of its history in Pittsburg.

Bundle Day, in which T5 boys participated, for the purpose of collecting clothes for the needy. 3. Twenty-seven boys and two sponsors attended the District Officers Training Conference at Altamont in October, 1940. 4. Thanksgiving baskets were prepared by the various chapters, 5.

The Booster, official weekly publication of Pittsburg High, is the fi al result of the work begun by Miss Laura Finley in 1915. From the two- page, four-column sheet then published, it has grown to a full-size, four- page, six-column newspaper. The paper is put out through the combined efforts of the PHS journal- 'P 6 ,M ism and printing departments in charge of George J. Frey, jr. and John E. White respectively. The Booster staff was considerably smaller this year than formerly, with a total of 21 members in the journalism class. Jane Pratt and Jack Collins were the official delegates to the annual two day journalism conference at the University of Kansas. They were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. George J. Frey, jr. and nine other members of the journalism class. For the first time in Pittsburg, a junior journalism course was intro- duced this year by Mr. Frey, for the purpose of showing the students interested in this type of work the fundamentals of newspaper workings and to prepare them for the task of running the paper later. , The Booster is a member of the Quill and Scroll, an honorary society for high school journalists 3 the National Scholastic Press Association 3 and the Kansas Interscholastic Press Association. The paper has won awards in various state, national, and international contests every year since its beginning. Also this year, a Booster newscast was presented weekly over the loud- speaker system under the sponsorship of The Booster. Jane Pratt was the official Booster Newscaster.

SENIOR PLAY In a House Like This, a three act comedy, was the play presented by the senior class on May 1. The play was directed by Miss Maude Laney. The play centers around the affairs of the Ingals family. Daughter Lois is in love with Giles Whitaker but refuses to marry him, thinking the family needs her weekly financial contributions. Son Bradley's main ambition is to produce success- ful plays and he inveigles his family into helping him, even to the extent of lending all the living-room furniture. Granny, an eccentric character, is induced to take a part in the play and almost steals the show, but after much argument, she decides to forget herself and to work for the success of the show. Mother and Father Ingals are very likeable people, thinking and planning always for others. Julia Murdock resents her sonis intimacy with the Ingals. And when she learns that Ronald is taking part in his cousin's play and wants to marry one of the actresses, Mary Clurman, whose father is in prison, her indignation increases. Other characters include the maid, Rhoda, Doty, a friend of Lois'g Hugh Ingals, the older song and Noel Derby, a business partner of Mr. Ingals. - After many mix-ups, a family disaster or two, everything ends happily. The two couples, Lois and Giles and Ronald and Mary, look forward to a rosy future. The theatrical production is successful, a new play is under way, and Granny is looking forward to J UNIOR PLAY Crashing Society, the junior class play, was pre- sented XVednesday, December 5, in the high school auditorium. The story concerns Adam Dunningan, a genuine, unaffected country man who is disgusted with the life his wife is making him lead in New York. But Elsie, his wife, is determined to crash the upper circles, al- though she has little knowledge of social etiquette. Uncle Oscar has died and left them a million dollars, so Elsie thinks it will be a simple matter to become part of New York's elite. George, the son, is exactly like Adam, and is par- ticularly disgusted with his sister, Christobel, who recites her own poetry and has social aspirations. He also disapproves of Agatha Mulrooney, whose singing and manners are very affected. Marguerite, the older daughter, dislikes artificiality and refuses to marry Cyril Van Witherspoon, her motherls choice. She is on her father's side. Finally Elsie promises Adam that she will return home as soon as she makes the social column in the paper. A laugh- able climax is reached when it is discovered that Adam has hired guests to attend his wife's party and photog- raphers to take pictures. Scruples-Scruples, the self- important English butler, adds comedy to the play. Marguerite discovers that Cyril is also sailing under false colors, that he, too, is a small-town boyg so the play ends with wedding bells for these two, and an exodus back to the small town of Jerkwater for the family, where they can be happy being big fish in a little pond. her next triumph.
