The boys have participated in all sports, on the B teams and on the varsity squads. Many of these boys have lettered in football, basketball, track, tennis, and have been active in intramural sports. The Junior cheerleaders have done an excellent job of encouraging athletic teams- 'and in upholding school spirit. The Juniors have taken part in debate and dramatics. The class presented a three- act play, You Can't Take It Wi-th You , which was one of the high lights of the year. Other outstanding events were the Junior Class Valentine Party and the Junior- Senior Prom. In addition to these activities the Juniors found time to participate in Y-Teens, Hi-Y, the Junior Academy of Science, and the Photography Club. The members benefited by their participation in the Life Adjustment Program sponsored by the Student Council. It is a privilege and a pleasure to attend P.H.S., and the Juniors anticipate greater possibilities and accomplishments in their senior year.

They served on the Student Council, were members of the Junior Academy o'f Science, the Hi-Y, and Y-Teens, the Junior Red Cross, the Orchestra, Debate Squad, Chorus, and the Band. To stir up pep and school spirit at football and basketball games, sophomore cheerleaders, majorettes, and band members were always on hand to furnish entertainment at the half-time periods. One of the spring social functions was the Freshman-Sophomore Frolic when incoming students were welcomed and were taken on a tour of the senior high school building. In March the class enjoyed a party which was held in the Little Theatre. These members of the class of '52 actively supported the ticket sales for the junior and senior class plays and directed the ticket sale for the Variety Show. Margaret Oliver and Lawrence Bowyer are class sponsors. f Violet .Whitter Charles Nesbitt Georgia Arthur Eudella.

M4 fx .ig if M. X, Xl Q uf 1: ' il fl' CHIEVEME T 1920-1930 1921 was a great year for Pittsburg, for it was then that the students entered the fme new senior high school building at Fourteenth and Broadway. This modern plant provided among other conveniences a gymnasium with a suitable basketball court-the first of its kind for PHS. During this decade Pittsburg kept pace with the times in expanding her curri- culum by oifering public speaking. This department has since grown to include dra- matics and debate. In 1927 awards were made through the Quill and Scroll, a national organization for high school journalists, to students doing outstanding work in the field of journa- lism. Also in this year the physical education classes organized the Girls' Athletic Association. Letter awards were presented to those who took part in the various sports and activities of the group. The Purple and White staff at this time was selected by the principal and the faculty. For years the athletic teams had been known as the Purple and White, but on November 7, 1929, by action of the student body the Dragon was chosen as the em- blem to represent school activities, and the Purple Dragon was designated as the name for all teams.

The outstanding activity of the Hi-Y chapters of PHS was participation in the Kansas HiY Model Legislature. This youth government program, which was patterned exactly after the real legislature, was held in the state capitol building in Topeka on December 1 and 2. Here the boy senators and representatives went through the re- gular routines of state lawmakers and worked on the many bills sent in by the various chapters in the state. Funds for participation in this program were raised by Hi-Y members who sold hot dogs and coffee at the football and basketball games this year. The regular meetings of the Hi-Y were held during the activity period each Thursday morning. Individual cabinet meetings were held on the first Thursday of each month to make plans for the remainder of the month. The following two weeks', meetings were by individual chapters with regular programs and with time allotted to take care of the business of the chapters. The final meeting of each month was a combined session with all three chapters present. Responsibility for the combined meeting was rotated among the chapters. These combined meetings usually includ- ed an outside speaker. The first meeting in May was the installation of officers, who were outstanding boys chosen to lead the chapters next year. The linal meeting was a senior farewell.

The club is divided into three groups. A different group meets each Tuesday evening for darkroom workg then the last of the month a general meeting is held for the study of how to do finishing work and the taking of night and action shots. Salon prints and slides sent to the club from Eastman Kodak Company aided the members in the study of this type of work. Three professional photographers were guest speak- ers during the year. Each month there are contests held on subject matter in keeping with the sea- sons. Prizes are awarded each month to winners of these contests. unior cadem f Science OFFICERS Charles Bell .................................. President Joan McClure ........................

The chorus under the direction of Gerald Blanchard was one of the busiest groups in PHS this year. Their first appearance was at the SEK chorus clinic held at Chanute early in the fall. There they sang two numbers then joined other groups from the SEK for the evening concert. Walter Iming from Colorado University was the guest conductor. In November the music department sponsored the annual variety show. Students from the the entire school were invited to take part in the entertainment. With 'the speech and drama department the chorus presented the Christmas assembly program. February found these musicans busily observing Saint Valentine's Day by deliver- ing Written and singing valentines to teachers and students.

ZLL, 11 3 I L-by , Qfv E JOYME T The greatest achievement of this decade was the addition of Roosevelt Junior High School in 1939. The Senior High benefited from this by the splendid music rooms, the Little Theater, a larger gymnasium, the journalism department, visual education rooms, a physics laboratory, and mechanical drawing rooms. This period saw an expansion in school organizations. The Hi-Y became so large that the group was divided into four chapters. These chapters bear the names of Hi-Y leaders. The Science Club was organized in 1932 to give those students interested in scientific study an opportunity for individual work. Later the group affiliated with the Junior Academy of Science, a state-wide organization. The first play day was held in the spring of 1939. Costumes and activities were sug- gested by the comic strip, Sadie Hawkins. Tor the present time Sadie Hawkins Day has been a major spring activity. tem -64166, .rw-ewf4.,,,..f A44 2,27 -if-. 4-oA ' ff I 'Z HOMECOMING PZ' A C4441-e,aff-'Ae-164-..14-.f,Q1f ,aff- K6Qa,x ,WML ffm ' Queen Bonita Stuclcey x Attendant Demarice Coot! .uydgl 4 QCA-J,-1' wg ji? od? , wa' 'Yi Mgfvcet P-4051.0 an gfffia Attendant Kay Newman .

Games were scheduled with B schools in a 20 mile radius of Pittsburg and with B Teams of other S.E.K. League schools. Lack of an extra point kicker was the main rea- son the B Team lost the Fort Scott and Cherokee games. All games played showed promise of a fine team in the next few years at P.H.S. KETB Lwljy W A Local school spirit soared to a peak when the Purple Dragons won the SEK district basketball tournament. This victory climaxed a successsful season consisting of twelve wins and eight losses. This gave them second place in the SEK League. Along with an enthusiastic crowd of rooters, the team went to the state tournament at Topeka. After winning their first game from Wyandotte, they lost to Salina who won state championship. Special credit goes to the graduating seniors Bob. Bath, Don Wall, John Strawn, and Walter Corkey Prince.

Gold stars on the service flag represent those who gave their lives in the great war. In 1940 Senior High School and Roosevelt Junior High School were combined under one administration. For eight years Finis M. Green served as principal of both schools. In 1948 when Mr. Green accepted a position at Kansas State, John England took over the principalship. The Girl Reserves became known as the Y-Teens during -this decade and con- tinued their fine Christian work among students. This anniversary edition of the Purple and White records a brief history of the school through the first half of this century. The real record is in the hearts of 'those who have roamed the halls and have sat in classrooms of dear old PHS. Students, teachers, and friends look with anticipation to greater accomplishment in the years to come. C FETERI The school cafe-teria, a non-profit self-supporting organization, serves both junior and senior high school pupils. Mrs. G.P. Hutcheson, manager, and her assistants, Miss Agnes Ferguson and Mrs. Alma Artinger, serve approximately 2000 students each month. Nine students who serve as cashiers and dishwashers are employed as helpers.
