A council made up of representatives from the three secondary schools has assisted in the develop- ment of the program. individual counseling is probably the most important part of the guidance program. Students are encouraged to visit the office to discuss educational plans, their occupational choices. or any of their individual problems. A file of information about each student has been set up as an aid in discussing with the student prob- lems of choices and adjustment. Organization in this department has been rapid. A testing program for grades seven to twelve has been organizedg the file of educational and occupational in- formation has been expandedg and. with the assistance of the student council, a follow-up study of former students is underway. Seniors who are preparing for college have found the services of this department especially helpful. Ma- terial on colleges. entrance requirements, and available scholarships has been collected here for the convenience of students. CHARLES YOOS Supervisor of Secondary Edll!'!lfi0Il MR.

Among the many committees was one group known as the Youth Committee with Tom Bertone as chairman and l,illian lluffman as vice chairman. Other members were teen-agers from the Hi-Y and Y-Teen organizations of the high school. This group met each week to set up such activities as distributing posters, stamping sacks in grocery stores. and attaching stickers to automobiles. The Y-Teens had a la-ap Year Leap to raise money for the drive. Although the goal was set at 398.000, the drive was so successful that a total of 55182.11-35.00 was reported on the final day.

At the State Printer the visitors were interested in observing the publication of school books for the state. They also saw bills and state records in the process of printing. The group next visited Capper's Weekly to watch the publication of one of the state's best known weekly newspapers. Highlight of the trip was the opportunity to meet Governor Hall and to tour his offices. The more energetic members of the group hiked to the top of the Capitol dome.

The first upheaval occurs when Mr. Purcell arrives.

At the half time convertibles brought the queen and her attendants to a place of honor near the fifty-yard line where they were escorted to the center of the field for coronation ceremonies. The hand formed a huge heart and played Sweet- heart of Sigma Chi as the crown was placed on Kaye Johnson by the captain ,lim Macheers. Immediately following the game, a dance was held in the gym. The Student Council and its advisor, Miss.Waltz, planned the activity. The Queen, her attendants, and escorts pause for some picture taking.

Squad members nominated their fa- vorites as candidates forlpositions of royalty. Six lovely girls were selected, presented to the student body, and voted upon in an all-school balloting. The one receiving the largest number of votes was named queen, and the two runners-up were made attendants to the queen. lilalvorate coronation ceremonies at half-time of the Columbus gurne made an impressive climax for the cage season. Co-captains for the Dragons did the crowning. Cheerleaders, majorettes, and the entire basketball squad took part in the ceremonies.

Throughout the year council mem- bers perform helpful services for the school and the community. One of the chief duties of the group is to assist at football and basketball games. Through efforts of the publicity committee posters announcing school activities are distributed in the business area. Council committees are also responsible for decorating goal posts before football games and for handing out programs at games. A huge Christmas tree ln the mam hall durlng the holiday season creates an appropriate atmos- phere for the council charity drive. A committee of council members each year pre- pares and publishes a student handbook which is distributed to the student body. Meetings are held regularly on Tuesday during the activity period. MR.

The Hi-Y organization is an activity to further Christian ideals. ln its existence it has done a great deal to strengthen moral character and in general to combine Christianity with every day living. The mixer, sponsored by the Hi-Y and Y-Teen organizations starts the school year off at the social level. This mixer serves as an excellent way to renew old friendships and an equally good way for the sophomores to become acquainted with each other and the upperclassmen. The four Hi-Y chapters have meetings every Thursday with one meeting a month set aside for a general assembly. These meetings consist of re- ligious activities as well as speeches, discussions, and general games. The four chapters give generously to the fund for aid to world-wide Hi-Y chapter. This fund is instrumental in starting foreign chapters. I I I I One of the most important Hi-Y functions is the lVlodel Legislature. This is a meeting of dele- gates from the various Hi-Y chapters in the state for a student government similar to that of the state. ln the Model Legislature this year two local members were outstanding. Jim England and Tom Bertone were in the leading positions. ,lim was the Speaker of the House, and Tom was the Secre- tary of State. ,lim was later voted one of the five leading legislators and has the privilege of pre- senting the fourteen bills passed by the legislature to the actual legislature. Six other local members attended the Model Legislature where they served as senators and representatives. Indeed the Hi-Y organization is beneficial to all boys who are a part of the program. Such ex- periences help to build worthwhile citizens. JIMMIE WELCH CHAPTER Top row: Mr. Sutton, ,lim Bolinger, James Conrad, Bob Rossel, ,lim Ryder, Ben Cannon.

Original scientific projects for exhibition are undertaken and, when completed- after about a hundred and fifty hours of work, are displayed in interscholastic competition: In 1955-56 this club has two returning members, Pete Smith and Robert Hall, whose exhibits placed first in the state last year. Individual projects now being developed in- clude a study of the digestive system, qualitative analysis crystallography, an exhibit involving aero- dynamics, a luminous display of the solar system, a study of pollen, research with a cloud chamber, an investigation of tooth decay, and an illustrated exhibit of systematic biology. The projects will be demonstrated at the KSTC Science Fair, the District Meet at Chanute, the state contest at Winfield, and possibly at the Na- tional Science Fair in Oklahoma City. From par- ticipation in such meets the Junior Academicians heighten their scientific interest and gain knowl- edge of their subjects while they receive valuable practical experience. The club holds regular meetings each Wednes- day at the activity period. JUNIOR ACADEMY OF SCIENCE MEMBERS Top row, left to right: Lawrence Gentry, Mr. Huffman, Billy Snider.

By being a member of this group, students arc given the chance to help in the school library and to assist in the selection of books. 'I'he elub meets every Tuesday at activity period, and membership is limited to those students who work at least one hour each week in the library. SPONSOR Margaret Oliver Club members read and report on books before the new volumes are put into circulation. By various activities and attractive displays these student librarians have stimulated interest in read- ing. One day before the Christmas vacation three hundred and seventy-seven books were checked out. This was the greatest number to be checked out on a single day in the history of Senior High School.

They performed at all football and basketball games, and decorated a jeep which was part of the KSTC Homecoming parade. .......: Caroly n Loss Each Monday afternoon they meet with Miss Messenger to practice and to dream up innovations and newxcheers. The use of long purple and white shakers has added much to the attractiveness of the cheering squad this year. These girls are loyal.

F if r - 7' ,M,,.d 1 Q ff SENIOR GRIDSTERS proudly present their trophy which remains in Pittsburg for the sixth consecutive year. Dragons beat Columbus 35 to 25 to keep the bucket. The coal bucket has been a source of high rivalry between Pittsburg and Columbus since 1938 when the local Lions Club presented the trophy. This bucket is no ordinary one. Slightly more than regulation height, the cast iron scuttle weighs thirty-two pounds. After each game the score is engraved on a copper plate which is attached to the bucket. The coal bucket game has given PHS many tra- ditions. Perhaps the best loved is the Beat Colum- bus Snake Dance which gets off to a gay start with a huge bonfire, pep talks, and yells. Dragon rooters then form a snake dance down Broadway to Fourth Street, stopping many places along the way to cheer for the game. This long standing rivalry tends to generate en- thusiasm in both schools. No matter where the game is played, student bodies come out in force to capture the bucket for another year. A check of the record shows that the coal bucket has changed hands six times since 1938 when rivalry over its possession began. Pittsburg has earned the trophy twelve times. From 194-1 to 1944- the scuttle was quite at home in the trophy case in Senior High. Four years of possession made it really difficult for Dragon fans to give it up when Columbus came out with a winning score. It was not long, however, until Pittsburg snapped back to claim the prize in 194-7 by defeating Columbus 28 to 0. This glory lasted only a year, and the bucket returned to Columbus. In 1950, PHS brought an end to uncertainty over ownership of the scuttle. For six consecutive years now the bucket has remained in Pittsburg. if ,. A ' 60036 Lv.

The squad had more height this year than they have had in previous years, but they suffered from inexperience. The varsity team was made up largely of juniors. Prospects are bright for next year, since nearly the whole team will return for another season. Only the Columbus game and the District Tour- nament remain on the schedule. The Columbus tilt will be the climax of the season when the captain will crown the basketball queen.
