A. BRANDENBURG TO THE ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF THE KANSAS STATE TEACHERS’ COLLEGE, GREETINGS: The Kansas State Teachers’ College is now just 22 years old. We should be pardoned if we speak with modest pride of some of her growth and achievements during this brief period. Forty-seven thousand, six hundred and forty-eight different persons have been enrolled as students during these years. Two thousand seven hundred and sixteen persons have com- pleted the two-year course, and have been awarded the life diploma. This number, together with those who will receive the life diploma this coming commencement, will place the total num- ber of life diploma holders above the three thousand mark. Another most gratifying record is the number of degrees which have been conferred by the institution. It was not until the year 1913, that the institution had the first degree class, numbering thirteen. In 1924 the degree class numbered one hun- dred and forty-one, and a total of eight hundred and twenty- seven degrees had been conferred up to that date. The degree class of 1925 is estimated at one hundred and fifty; while the life diploma class for this year should crowd the three hundred and fifty mark. Fifteen thousand two hundred and four special certificates, three-year elementary, and one-year elementary certificates have been issued by the institution during these 22 years. Her graduates are teaching in more than half the states in our nation. A tax-paying public has become thoroughly friendly and cooperative with the policies and needs of the institution. A faculty composed of most capable men and women work through- out the entire calendar year, actuated by one predominating motive—the greatest possible service through an educational in- stitution to society. Although K. S. T. C. is one of six largest state teachers colleges in America, graduating the third largest degree class in 1924, we feel that the institution is in its infancy; it has only made a beginning, the future is inviting and full of rich promise. Total number of different students for the present year is now over five thousand two hundred. W. A. BRANDENBURG, President. THE G. W. TROUT DEAN OF THE COLLEGE i 15 MRS.

WM. MANNING, Field Marshall The Gorillas are a group of college men banded together to get organized action in exciting and maintaining pep in the school life. Their greatest activity has been during the football season, as a rule, but this year the organization functioned throughout the entire school term, backing other activities, as well as athletics. Their accomplishments include guarding the campus; organizing parades before football games; entertainments between halves at football and basketball games; bon- fires and celebrations after games; all-school dances and parties in honor of the winning athletic teams; play-by-play reports of out-of-town football games; provided score cards at the different games; originated the “On to Emporia Special,” and provided transportation for a part of the band men to that place; gave money for two of the gold trophies presented to the football champs; obtained the adoption of the Gorilla as the school mascot; held two carnivals; and published a booklet “1924-1925 Champs.” 148 THE KANZA-™ 1925 Gorillas ROLL OF MEMBERS Dan Abbey B.

Starrett 150 THE • KANZA’ 1925 DFDDTBnLLD 151 THE CAPTAIN CHARLES PURMA The College will have a hard time finding another athlete like Charlie Purma, in the opinion of students of K. S. T. C. and followers of its athletics. For four years, Charlie played on the Manual eleven, during which time he was feared and respected throughout the conference as one of its most dangerous players. He took advantage of every misplay of his opponents. It was his “playing-every-minute” attitude that helped Pittsburg to win itB first football title. Ineidently, this was his second year as captain of the eleven. Purma’s career as an athlete here for four years in three major sports is dotted with many bright incidents. He could have made his name as an athlete at any college in the country, and K. S. T. C- feels proud that he chose to enter here to perform his scholastic and athletic duties. 152 TTI-IP —KANZA— 1925 MAC STEELE There has been nothing flashy in the play of MacDowell Steele in the three years that he has been a regular on the grid team, but it has been the steady, dependable work that will always become noticeable. Mac started the 3 922 season at end. The following year he was shifted to center, and on the championship 1924 eleven, he took his old stand at end. Mac will lead the team this fall and will attempt to score a second consecutive title. CHARLES SESHER. For two season’s Charles Sesher has barked signals for Weede’s gridiron pastimers. A quarterback should be a natural leader, a quick thinker, and a crafty planner. Sesher had these qual- ities and a few more. He did a nice job of passing and carried the ball now and then just to show the crowd that he knew how it was done. Charlie will be missing from the line up next year. JEAN BENNETT. Jean played at both quarter and half this last season and turned in a neat day's work in either role. Jean’s spec- ialty was long end runs which gave him a chance to exercise his speedy lower limbs. He’ll be back next year scrap- ping for a regular position. —KANZA— 1925 CAUL KILL I OX Killlon. a freshman, made the Manual squad and saw services in most of the battles. He can bite off a piece of credit for his aid in the 1924 grid triumph. Carl is a halfback, a nice defensive worker and a streak on end runs. He will be with us for several seasons. EDWARD STEPHENSON. The “Little River Flash was In our midst again last season. He spent an enjoyable fall at a halfback position, ex- cept when he was nursing his injuries. Stevie displayed the same pluckiness that won for him the regard of football fans in 1923 and it took a fast man to stop him when once started. Stephenson will be on hand this fall when “Dr.” calls for candidates. LEO FOLCK. Leo Folck. fullback, finished his sec- ond campaign on the grid this season. Folck isn’t spectacular. He is just a steady player, a wonderful defensive man. and a dependable kicker. He was used with success all season as a batter- ing ram. “I’ll be back next year, he said. THE ——KANZA— 1925 CLAUDE CARTER (’arter was one of the casualties that all football teams have. It was (Maude's misfortune to receive a serious injury to his knee in the first game with the Warrens- l urg Teachers College, just before the conference race opened. During the latter part of the season he saw some service at halfback, although his knee was a handicap. •'Cookie gets his degree this spring. NO RTO X McQUE R R E Y. There is one thing especially that Norton Mc.Querrey is noted for when he gets on a football suit. He can take the pass-back from center, grasp the oval in the fingers of his right hand and heave a brutal pass. It was Norton's passing ability that had much to do with K. S. T. C.'s conquering of the conference. He’s only a freshman and is expected to be among those present next fall. H. BERRY. Berry was another one of Doc Weede’s group of backfield men. Herb centered his attention at fullback and hit like a ton of coal dropped off the Washington monument. He was thrown into virtu- ally every tilt during the all-victorious season. i i e i ! i i ! DALE SKELTON Dale stood head and shoulders above the rest of his teammates, and played regular at guard and tackle throughout the season. It might be remarked that he helped the Manuals to their first championship. He has now played two years, and ahead there looms just that many more. With his experience, Skelton should have a big year in 1925. 0 i c i 0 i i i j i i i NORMAN SHEFFER. Norman Sheffer, one of Doc Weede’s 200-pound pets, is a member of some of the first all-conference selections for the year of 1924. The past campaign was his third while wearing the red and gold, and he went good all season at tackle. A whirl-wind should be tame compared with Norman next fall. FRANK CAMPBELL. When Frank crouches down in that tackl eposition he doesn’t appear as though he was preparing to go out for tea. Wonder what the opposing man thinks? We just talked with Doc and he said that Frank could play football on his team as long as he wanted to. Camp- bell was also the choice of several critics for a tackle berth on the mythical first or second all-conference elevens. 156 THE «KANZA————— 1925 HEROLD HEROD. Herold Herod is another boy who doesn’t look exactly as though preparing for an aesthetic dance when he lines up for a football melee. Herod finished his college career in a blaze of glory this spring after three years here, during which time he played that many seasons as a regular guard and tackle. He came in for consideration on first and second all-conference teams. MALCOLM ALLEN. Mac Allen has finished three years of pigskin activity with the Manuals, at a guard station. He has been troubled with injuries to his ankles from former years and for that reason has not shown so bright as have some of his mates. But whenever the coaches wanted a depend- able man to send into the line, they knew they could send in Malcolm. He’ll be back this fall. BILL SHORT. Bill was the baby of the outfit. But before the season was over, the other schools would have had an injunction is- sued to prevent his playing, if such could have been done. Bill didn’t do much— just played a good defensive game at end; snag a few passes each game for touchdown, or long gains, and connected his toe with the leather after a touch- down, or when three points were needed. He’s a freshman. THE FRANK HOFFMAN. Another freshman who hopped in and grabbed a regular position was Franklin Marion Hoffman, a 6 feet 3 inch giant who played center all season. Hoffman is a veritable bull, a. square clean player and capable on both offense and defense. He also can be pressed into service as a punter, and sometimes does the kickoff act that starts the old game. Frank is a Pittsburg product. MELVIN BINFORD. Melvin Binford was injured in practice before the season started and was out more than half the year. During the final games he saw service at tackle and was called into the back field to punt. He showed possibilities and has two more years here to strut his stuff. Next year, Melvin should be a strong link in another championship machine. CHARLES YOE. A quiet chap is this Charles Yoe, of Independence. He was one of the re- serves that must always be in good condition to step in and make a credit- able showing when the opportunity comes. Yoe is a hard worker and a de- pendable player, and saw service in a good many games during the season. 158 THE ——KANZA-—— 1925 The Champion s Record Oct. 3 ..............Pittsburg 6; Warrensburg Teachers, 0.

For the first time in the history of the Kansas State Teachers’ College, its football eleven progressed through an entire season as a member of the Kansas conference without a single defeat, also winning two non-conference contests. It was the greatest gridiron year the college has ever seen, witnessing the cham- pionship of the Kansas circuit and also the completion and formal dedication of the §100,000 stadium, the only one in the Kansas conference. Coaches Garfield W. Weede and John F. Lance were extremely fortunate in the return of a flock of veterans, supplemented by some of the best high school graduate stars in the state. The season was started off with a seasoned lineup, but injuries soon placed the burden upon first year men who did remarkably well. When the Pittsburg Teachers lined up for action on the afternoon of Oct. 3 at Warrensburg, Mo., in the opening game of the season with the Warrensburg Teachers’ College Mules, only one new man was on the field. That was Frank Hoffman, a fresh- man from Pittsburg high, who played center regularly all year. The injury jinx started in the struggle with the Missourians. Claude Carter, who had proven his ability during the two previous seasons as a backfield man of extra- ordinary speed and general utility, suffered an injury to his knee, which prevented his playing regular for the remainder of the season- The Warrensburg game was fought on a muddy field. The only score of the game came in the second quarter when Mac Steele, end, took a pass from Edward Stephenson, halfback, for an eight yard gain and a touchdown. Baker University of Baldwin, Kas., was the first Kansas conference opponent to face the Manuals. Playing on the home field, before the first stadium crowd, the local gridironers won out in their hardest battle of the season over the Wildcats, 6 to 0. The game was played, Oct. 11. It must be said that Pittsburg was outplayed in most of the first half, which, however, ended scoreless. The break of an otherwise airtight game came in the second quarter, when Ted Wright, Baker halfback, was tackled by Purma, Manual end. Wright fumbled, and Charlie gathered in the ball and ran 52 yards before he was downed on the Baker 10-yard marker. Charles Sesher, quarterback, followed with a Pass over the goal line and Purma was waiting for it. Here is an excerpt from the Collegio of Oct. 17: “The stadium with flags flying along the upper edge, and decked with gala colors, was filled nearly to capacity, it is estimated that 4,000 persons witnessed the game.” It was in this game that the Pittsburg passing attack that was to throw other 159 THE —KANZA- 1925 teams of the Kansas conference into high concern, began to manifest itself. The yell leaders, representing each class, led cheers continuously, and the College band con- tributed with music. The Crimson and Gold team engaged in their second non-conference tussle of the season, Oct. 16. The Tahlequah Indians, representing an Oklahoma Teachers’ College, was the enemy. The southerners were the third shut-out victims of the local crew, the final score being 20 to 0. Pittsburg played in poor form, and in the opinion of rabid foqfball fans, should have doubled their score at least. One touchdown was made in the first quarter, and two more were garnered in the final quarter. Captain Purma was out because of injuries. The second home conference game was with College of Emporia, which in previous years had lowered the Manual colors with almost monotonous regularity. But the worm turned, to use a new expression. When the smoke of the battle had blown away, the new scoreboard on Brandenburg Field showed the result to be: Pittsburg, 26; C. of E., 7. A crowd of 4,500 spectators watched Pittsburg down the rival Emporians. which was due almost mainly to the fierceness and precision of the aerial game, each of the four touchdowns being gained by passing. Then came the other Emporia game. The big question was: Can Pittsburg down two Emporia elevens in successive weeks? The Manual gridiron eleven answered the question without hesitation on Oct. 31, when on the Emporians’ own ground, they showed a fighting spirit that would not be denied and also brought their wonderful passing game into the fray. The Yellowjackets took the lead in the first quarter by capitalizing on Sesher’s fumble near Pittsburg’s goal line. The Emporians’ hammer- ed the Pittsburg goal line and drove the ball over. In the second quarter, the Manuals came back and scored a pair of touchdowns and further drew away from the Emporia team in the fourth quarter. Goal was kicked after each of the touchdowns. With victories over apparently their strongest adversaries for the season, the Manual warriors saw their first championship looming ahead—if they kept up their good work. And they did keep it up. The remainder of the season was a continuation of a trail of victories. Friends University, the Quaker school of Wichita, was the next victim. They came here on Armistice Day, but there was more than a football game on that day. It was the day chosen for the formal dedication of the massive new concrete and steel stadium. Before the game, the stadium, with appropriate ceremonies, was presented as a gift to the state of Kansas, by President W. A. Brandenburg. A crowd that completely filled the stadium, estimated at 5,000, watched the affair, and afterward settled down to witness the defeat of Friends. The final score was 12 to 2. Pittsburg scored in the second and fourth quarters, using passes, end runs and criss-crosses, which proved that they had a well-balanced attack. Stephenson went over the goal-line on both occasions. On Nov. 21, the Weede-Lance machine took a jaunt to Topeka, the capital city of Kansas. In the first half, neither, team could score. But the second period is a different story. In the two closing chapters, the Crimson and Gold athletes garnered two touchdowns and the same number of place kicks, the latter coming as a result of Short’s place-kicking ability. The Pittsburg eleven took advantage of every break. The game was won without the services of Sheffer and Herod, who were on the injured list. Then came the final game. It was with Ottawa university—the jinx team. A victory meant a conference title—defeat meant the blasting of the cherished hope. But the Ottawa Indians, battling like fury, with nothing to lose and everything to gain, fought the Manuals to a stand-still, and the game ended with both teams having a perfect defensive sheet. There were several tense moments in the game, but each team rose to the heights of perfect defense. Such is the season for 1924 in regard to the exploits of the representatives of Kansas State Teachers’ College of Pittsburg on the ribboned field- It is a record that has brought prestige to the college, and it stands as an athletic school among the leaders in the middle-west. Let us only hope that future seasons will be as full of success. Along with the Pittsburg victories, goes credit to Coaches Garfield W. Weede and John Lance. Their athletic teams always have a reputation as being clean. So through victory, they have not lost their high standing as sportsmen, which, in the final analysis, is the most important. 160 THE ■KANZA———— 1925 BRBKETBflLL CAPTAIN CHARLES SESHER. The Kansas State Teachers' College of Pittsburg loses another sterling athlete and sportsman in Charles Sesher, four-year man in basketball, and one of the best the Kansas conference has ever produced. Coming from Cherokee, Kansas, high school in 19 21, Charlie made good from the start and figured prominently in four campaigns on the hardwood court, both at for- ward and guard. During his last two years, he worked at guard, where he used his great floor-working ability to advantage. There was sadness in Charlie’s last year. As his team was winning its eighth straight conference basketball victory, with McPherson College on the home court, the Manual leader was injured in a collision with a McPherson man. The spill to the floor cost him a broken collar bone and he watched his men from the sidelines the remainder of the season. In view of his wonderful success as a player and a leader, it is expected that Sesher will make equally as notable a record as an athletic coach. McDowell steele. McDowell Steele, after rounding out three years as a forward on the cage crew, was elected to lead the 1926 team. Steele is a product of Fort Scott High, where he made a fine record as an athlete, being a member of the Kansas high school champ cagers of 1922. Steele is an aggressive floorman and can be counted upon for his share of baskets during the evening’s entertainment. He is tireless and can be depended upon to play a consistent and steady game. WILLIAM SHORT. One of the most promising first year athletes is William Short, of Frontenac, who was the only member of the 1925 baskketball squad to he picked for all-conference honors. Short proved in his first year of intercollegiate competition his ability, and won the reputation as one of the fastest floormen playing on Kansas courts. He is a dribbler extraordinary and a high point-maker, especially in the pinches. And think of it; three more years here for William! FRANK HOFFMAN. Another freshman who helped Pittsburg to its greatest basketball season in its history was Frank Hoffman, ex-Pittsburg High star. With a combination of beef, brawn, endurance, skill and a few other qualities that make an athlete, Frank made good from the start. After playing at center on the grid team, he took the same position in the winter sport, dropping back as stationary guard. Hoffman has three more years, here. THE DEMING SHAW. This boy is the demon from Oklahoma. Not a very big man is Shaw in comparison with some of the corn-fed gents one meets on a baskketball court, but he held his own throughout the season, at forward and center. Shaw cuts loose with pretty ones from long distances that have a habit of dropping through the straps. He played his second year on the Gorilla squad. GLEN MEISENHEIMER. From Garnett, Kas., came “Chub” Meisenheimer to help the Gorilla basketeers to victory. Meisenheimer played at guard in virtually every game, and was especially valuable because of his pinch-hitting ability. In many close games, he started scoring rallies himself. It was Meisenheimer’s first year of college basketball and he probably will be much better next season. CHARLES PURMA. About the only place that Charlie’s picture doesn't appear is in the women’s beauty section. At least so the readers might be thinking who have seen his likeness several times in the athletic section. Charlie, shot to pieces by injuries in football, failed to round into his customary shape for the cage campaign, although he did get into most of the games during the latter part of the season. Purma plays guard, and hangs on to the opposing player’s trail like a leech. 164 MELVIN BINFORD. One of the reasons that the Pittsburg- Teachers finished in a tie for first honors in the conference was Melvin Binford. Melvin didn’t have any special position to play in the court game. And before the season was over he had played at both center and forward. He was good enough to get into most of the games. Melvin is a Junior and lives at Haviland, Kus., when he isn’t getting his higher education here. LACEL PARSONS. Parsons played both center and forward with an adeptness and skill that made him a valuable contribution to the Manual success against rival teams of the conference. Lacel was not a regular, but he saw service in virtually every contest. Last year was his second with the basketball squad- IDRIS BOLTZ. This lanky youngster came to K. S. T. C. from Pittsburg high, and worked at guard during the 1925 season, although he was not a regular. It was Ide’s first sniff of collegiate competition in basketball and during the season he gathered a few point- ers that should make him a valuable man on Coach John Lance's squad next year.

Twelve victories and two defeats is the record of Coach John Lance's 1925 basket- ball machine. The Kansas State Teachers' College of Pittsburg, playing out its schedule as drafted before the season, was recognized throughout the state as the logical winner until Captain Charles Sesher suffered a broken collar bone in the eighth game of the season with the McPherson Bulldogs. Then things began to turn the other way. With sudden fury Bethel College of Newton swooped down upon Pittsburg and in perfect basket shooting form, gained an overwhelming victory over the Crimson and Gold cagers. And before they could gain their equilibrium, the Fairmount Wr heat shockers from Wichita, on the following night, snatched a victory and Pittsburg leadership of the conference was turned over to Washburn. But the Lancemen were not whipped, even though Captain Sesher was lost for the season. They rallied and on the following night proved to followers of the con- ference that they still were in the championship running. By winning all of the re- maining games, two of which were with the two strong Emporia crews, Pittsburg could still win the title. Washburn, the closest contender, was telling the world of its short schedule and if it won all of its games, it would be just a few percent lower than Pittsburg. But when Pittsburg won from the two Emporia colleges, the Topeka school prob- ably saw its championship hopes fading away. At any rate, Washburn announced a belated game with Sterling College one of the weaker teams of the circuit. If won, the Topeka school would tie Pittsburg. Washburn won from Sterling, and Pittsburg was victorious in its remaining contests with Friends university. There is no official championship announced by officials of the Kansas conference. The newspaper standing at the end of the season showed Pittsburg and Washburn tied for first honors. Coach John Lance voiced the sentiment of the team and its followers when he said the following: “It is not primarily the championship that we seek in athletics, we believe that sportsmanship and fair play are equally, if not more so, important. We have played our schedule as it was made before the season started, and we are satisfied with our showing in the face of the difficulties that we encountered, especially the lamentable injury to our captain, Charlie Sesher.’’ THE ——KANZA— 1925 When the 192 5 cage campaign started. Coach Lance had five of his squadmen from the 1924 season, although one of them, Charles Purma, was in poor condition through injuries in football. Three of the five, Sesher, Shaw and Steele started the season as regulars. Hoffman and Short, freshmen, secured the other two regular positions and this combination was going strong until Sesher was hurt during the middle of the season. Meisenheimer jumped into Sesher’s position and did good work at guard. Thus the team was playing with three new men as regulars during the last half. Pittsburg opened the conference season with two victories over St. Mary’s on the Micks’ own court. In the second battle, the Lancemen garnered 47 points, a fore- shadowing of its great offensive ability that was to put several team to rout before the year was over. Then followed three successive victories over Ottawa University—the fabled jinx of Pittsburg. The games were fairly easily won by the Gorillas. Later in the year Ottawa forced Washburn into an extra playoff period to win. By this comparison, Pittsburg appears at least on even terms with the Ichabods, if not stronger. Baker university was the sixth straight victim for the fast traveling team. Pitts- burg more than doubled the score on the Wildcats. The next two games with McPherson showed Pittsburg at its best. The first was won by the Lancemen more than doubling the count. In the second struggle, with the game almost over, Sesher received the injury which closed his athletic career here, and which considerably weakened the team. The next time the Gorrillas took the court the lanky basketball five from Bethel College was the opponent. The Newton boys, playing their best game of the year, subdued Pittsburg for the first time this season, 45 to 22. Before the Lancemen could draw themselves together, Fairmount College, on the home court the following night, meted out another defeat, 27 to 23. But that was to be the last game Pittsburg was to lose. Gathering their broken and disorganized forces together, they showed the true qualities of a champion, and won over Fairmount the next night. Four contests remained on the schedule. Two were with the Emporia schools, with the reputation of always having dangerous and strong outfits. Sport writers over the state told of Pittsburg’s coming doom; they could never surmount those two obstacles, they wrote, wisely. Their stories were interesting, but there was not very much truth in them. On two successive nights, in the Emporia schools’ own lair, the Pittsburg Teachers, show- ing a mighty fighting spirit, and a punch in the desperate moments, conquered their opponents, and loomed as conference champions for 1925. Then came announcement of Washburn’s last minute game with Sterling and its subsequent victory. Two games remained with Friends. Friends had not won a conference basketball victory in more than two years. But the Quakers put up a game fight on the Pittsburg court, although they suffered two defeats. That is the story of Pittsburg's part in the 1925 basketball season of the Kansas conference. Whether they really should be considered the leading team in the circuit for that season can not be answered here. The big thing is that Coach John Lance and his men played cleanly all the way, and showed their aggressiveness and stout-heartedness, even when their captain was thrown out of the lineup. They showed the true qualities of a championship team. 167 168 -KANZA 1925 □TRUCK! THE CAPTAIN CHARLES PURMA, j 1924. j ! It was perhaps on the track and field that Charles Purina won greatest renown to himself and to his college. Purma came to Pittsburg four years ago from Wilson high school, near Salina. Kansas. For that length of time he has been winniifg first in the shot in dual, triangular, state, and inter-sectional meets in the middle-west. His best record in the shot was made this spring against the Springfield Teachers, when he threw the 16-pound iron ball 47 feet, 0 1-4 inches. I-Ie held the shot record of the Drake Relays for one year. During his years of competition he has won several watches and about 30 medals. Charlie also throws the discus, holding the school record in that now at 135 feet. 6 inches. In the track realm, Turma runs the 100, 220 and 440- vard dashes, although his work in the shot has overshadowed his greatness as a sprinter. 170 THE ■KANZA- 1925 CAPTAIN FRANCIS SNODGRASS, 1925. Francis Snodgrass is the fastest lialf-miler in the history of the school. Fritz always had ability to run. and he is fast. But he contributes his success on the cinders largely to the condition he keeps himself in. and his systematic training methods. Snodgrass is a faithful trainer, and this, coupled with his natural ability, makes him what he is today—the greatest half-miler in the Kansas conference. He established a state record in this event at the Kansas conference track meet in Emporia in the spring of 1924. Snodgrass is a junior. He is a member of the medley team which holds the Kansas relay record in the college class, and which won a challenge cup this spring in a remarkable victory over Occidental College of California, and Butler College of Indiana. KANZA- 1925 JOE RONDELLI. Joe Ronclelli was a member of the 1924 mile relay team which established a new record at the Kansas conference meet in Emporia in the spring of that year. Joe hung up his spiked shoes at the end of the 1924 season, but his work on the track for Pittsburg will be remembered for many years. ARTHUR BARLOW. Whenever there is any running to do, Arthur Barlow will be around. This lanky speedster has been running the quarter mile for several years, and is a member of the 1925 medley relay team and also of the mile-relay quartet. It is estimated that Barlow covered the quarter-mile at Lawrence in the medley relay in 50 seconds flat, and the Kansas relays were held early in the year. Barlow is a junior. JIM ALLEN. Allen runs the mile and is one of the best in the state. He is a faithful worker and is an acceptable running mate for Fred Axtel. Pittsburg's other distance runner. Allen is serving his third year on the squad. THE ■KANZA 1925 BRYAN HOOPER. Hooper was the star sprint man on the 1924 squad, and holds the school record in the 100 yd. and the 220 yd. dashes. He also tied with Williams, of Emporia, for first in the 100 yd. event at the state meet last year. Hooper entered school late this spring, and did not round into the best of shape for the first of the season, but is expected to be in good condition for the state meet this season. HUGH FOWLER. llughie is the smallest man on the track squad, but by no means the weakest. His specialty is the high jump, where his shortness doesn’t seem to bother him. Fowler held the school record in this event until it was broken by his teammate. Skelton, in the state meet last year. But Hugh came back this season with a higher jump, and recaptured the school honors. We expect him to take the event in the 1925 state meet- FRED AXTELL. Fred is the premier distance man of the Manual squad, and now holds the school record in both the mile and the two-mile run. He usually leads his opponents all the way from a half a lap on up when the tape is broken at the finish. Last year was Fred’s first year with the Pittsburg squad, and he made good from the start, but the 1925 season shows him in better form than ever, so we expect to have no trouble in the distance runs this year. THE —KANZA— 1925 DALE SKELTON. Dale is a big man. and he always places high in the events he enters. He estab- lished a record for the javelin at the 1024 meet, and took first place in the high jump, as well as placing in several other events. Skelton was high point man at that meet. He also holds the school record in the javelin, and will help add points for another track championship this spring. MOYLE SKAER. Skaer is another dash man who has won points in dual meets, and also takes part in the broad jump. He made his letter during the 1924 season, and going good towards another one in the events this year. JOHN SNODGRASS. John won his letter in the distance events last year, and he made a fitting com- panion for Axtell. He should be able to add some more points to his credit in the different meets this spring. 174 The State Track Champions It was the championship track squad that first turned the attentions of the Manual athletic teams toward state honors, and so not to be out done, the other must follow suit with championships of their own. But to the 1924 track team must go the honor of the first state championship that the Pittsburg Teachers’ College has ever had. After being bested by a few points in a dual meet with the rival Teachers’ College at Emporia, the Manual tracksters came back a few days later, and scored the most decisive win that has ever been gained at the state meet. And to show that they were a real squad, and that the honor was rightfully gained, five new records were hung up by the Pittsburg cinder-path men in gaining first place. Eleven of the Manuals qualified for the finals during the preliminary try-out, and this was but a foreshadow of what was to come in the next day’s contest. Eight records were broken in the final events, and five of these came to Pittsburg. Dale Skelton grabbed two. one in the javelin, and another one in the high jump. The latter record he captured from his teammate, Fowler, who had held it for the preceding year. Another record went to Francis Snodgrass in the half-mile event. Fred Axtell captured the fourth one in the two-mile run. and the fifth record fell before the pace of the fast running Manual mile relay team, composed of Barlow, Rondelli, F. Snod- grass, and Hooper, who clipped more than three seconds off the former mark held by Washburn. The following summary shows the places won by the Pittsburg men in the different events: 100 yd. l asli—Hooper, tied for first, : 10.4. 1- Mile Run—J. Allen, third. Shot Put—Purina, first, 44 feet, 0 3-4 inches. 440 yd. Dash—Barlow, fourth. Half-Mile—F. Snodgrass, first, 1:59.3. New record. 220 yd. Dash—Hooper, second. Discus—Skelton, first. 129 feet. 1-2 inch. Purma, third. 2- Mile Run—Axtell. first, 10:12.6- New record. Broad Jump—Fowler, second; Purma, third. Javelin—Skelton, first, 172 feet. 7 inches. New record. High Jump—Skelton, first, 5 feet, 11 1-8 inches. New record. Fowler, second. Mile Relay—Pittsburg, 3:25. New record. The 1 924 squad also won a telegraphic meet with the Springfield Teachers’ College, and won a special college relay race from the Emporia Teachers at an indoor meet in Kansas City. Purma took first in the shot put at the Drake Relay games last year. Only one meet has been held in the 1925 season at the time of going to press, but from indications shown in that one contest, Pittsburg has another championship in view. In a dual meet with the Springfield Teachers on the new track, the home fellows allowed only one event to escape their grasp; and that was the pole vault, Springfield taking first in this event alone. Pittsburg received second. THE -KANZA 1925 The medley relay team, composed of Barlow, Shapcott, Snodgrass, and Axtell. running the quarter-mile, the 220-yd., the half-mile, and the mile respectively, won this event at the Kansas Relay Carnival, beating out the fast Occidental and Butler Colleges, who were conceded to be the faster. Fowler picked a second in the high jump at the same time, as did Purina in the shot. Later at the Drake relays, the medley team came in third after Butler, and Wabash. Butler established a new American record in winning this event. This same team won third place in the two-mile college relay, coming in behind Haskell and Cornell. Purma relinquished his shot record to a giant from Minnesota in the Drake competition this year. He was only six inches behind the high mark set by the winner, and has a mark of his own that matches it, which he made in the Springfield meet this year. Skelton placed fourth in the javelin, the winner of which established a new mark for the meet. The Manuals have a new man for the dashes in Shapcott this year, and he has been showing up exceedingly well. With Hooper and Shapcott both in good form, the other sprinters of the state will have to look to their laurels. Keen competition is expected at the state meet in Emporia this year, but with the seasoned team that Pittsburg has, she should repeat her victory of last year. RESULTS IN 1924.

It means that she has not only come out for an athletic event, but that in order to have won this emblem, which requires one hundred points, she must have made one-fourth of the total by taking part in athletics, sports, general activities, and living up to health rules. In order to win the class numeral, one must earn three hundred points; for the “K,” seven hundred; for the medal, twelve hundred; and for the silver loving cup, which has the name of the girl, and the year she received the award on it. twenty-five hundred points must be made. The association is a growing organization on the campus, thirty-one new members being added during the fall term. A party was given for all the girls in school, at the first of the term. Many hikes and parties have been held, and a health campaign for the whole school was conducted by the association. But the activities have not been limited to the campus alone. Last fall, the or- ganization sent two of its members, Bessie Hansford and Bernice Benton, to the state convention at Baldwin. These girls took an active part in the work there, and their invitation to have the next state meeting at Pittsburg was accepted. With the selection also came the privilege of the local organization electing the state president, Mary Caroll Hillis, and the state secretary, Vivian Wright, for the coming year. Miss Hupp was appointed to the State Advisory Board. The local officers for this year are Bessie Hansford, president; Bernice Benton, vice president; Ruth Wilson, secretary-treasurer; Leah Miller, recording secretary; and Miss Maybauer, faculty advisor. The advisory board consists of Miss Hupp, chairman; Miss Roseberry, Miss Bennett, and Miss Carroll. 183 TLIC KANZA- 1925 Student Council BROWER MAGERS WHITESITT BRITTON SKELTON INWOOD BENNETT MEISENHEIMER The Student Council is a self-governing institution, to which falls the responsibility of seeing that all school activities, not provided for elsewhere, are carried on properly. The council is composed of a president chosen by the student body at large, and two members chosen by each of the four classes. An effective Student Council can be had only when there is a true spirit of cooperation existing between the student body and council on one hand, and the faculty and council on the other. If this year’s council may be said to be at all successful in its administration, that success may be attributed to this fact. The personell of this year’s Student Council: WALDO MAGERS and ESTHER BROWER—Seniors. ERMAL WHITESITT and ERMA BRITTON—Juniors. DALE SKELTON and RUTH INWOOD—Sophomores. GLEN MEISENHEIMER and CLELIA BENNETT—Freshmen. ERMAL WHITESITT—Secretary.

All sororities must abide by the decisions of the Council. The aims of the organization are to encourage the local chapters to take an active part in all college affairs; to establish a feeling of sisterhood among the different sororities, as well as within the sorority; and to keep down barriers between the sorority and non-sorority girls. 186 THE -KANZA 1925 Pan Hellenic Council Tonnies, Brower.

This Club was organized in February, 192-1. It is little more than a year old, yet it has accomplished much in that short time. The membership has been greatly increased; the business conducted has been very beneficial to all; and the social phase of the Club has been both entertaining and instructive. The organization has a bright future, and there is no doubt but that in the years to come the Commerce Club of this institution will progress in every way and be of great aid to the Commercial students. .

Students of the college who are residents, or are graduated from one of the seven high schools of the county, make up the personnel of the club. The purpose of the club is to create an interest in this school in Anderson County, and to boost K. S. T. C. whenever possible. On the evening of December 23, 1924, the club entertained the senior classes of the seven high schools of Anderson County in the Garnett High School building. This club is the first of its kind in K. S. T. C., and, with the exception of the club at Kansas University, it is the largest Anderson County club in any institution of the state. THE —KANZA— 1925 The Red Red Rose The Red Red Rose is a schoolman’s order, the purpose of which is chiefly the promotion of comradeship among the men of the profession. The “Grand Old Man is the guiding spirit of the order. The College chapter is known as Kansas Conclave No- 1. Up to date it has had 228 members, of whom two. Prof. John H. Bowers and Prof. W. E. Ringle, are deceased. College seniors, and men already engaged in the teaching profession, are eligible to membership. Initiatory rites are held from time to time at the College whenever a group of would-be neophytes is assembled. These ceremonies and the accompanying banquet constitute the most important meetings of the lodge. The local chapter organized a conclave at the Hays State Teachers College last year. Throughout the second semester, the Red Red Rose had a Wednesday luncheon almost every week. The largest initiation of the year is held toward the close of the first summer session. The officers of the order are as follows: Lord High Mokus, H. H. Hall; Grand Expounder, I. G. Wilson; Grand Scribe, R. M. Coffelt; Guard of Inner Wicket, G. O. Ranes; Grand Elucidator, H. E. Hunter; Guard of Outer Wicket, George W. Phillips; Keeper of Symbols, Harrison L. Euler; Grand Conductor, O. P. Dellinger; Grand Interrogator, S. L. Householder; Grand Stimulator, Samuel Pease; Grand Provider, F. A. Dickinson. The red rose is not the only symbol that marks the order. The fez which members wear also bears, in bright red, the figure of a husky chantecleer. 229 THE ———KANZA— 1925 Newman Club National Catholic Club.

The hall is under the supervision of Dean Mitchell, and the 1-Iall Matron, Mrs. Clara Peebles, but the girls have a government of their own for carrying out the rules and policies of the dormitory. Regular meetings are held each month, usually accompanied by a social hour. The Hall is a lively place, due to the many talents displayed by the girls who live there, and one can find plenty of entertainment in the reception hall, which by the way. is usually pretty well filled. Music is abundant, and good fellowships thrive under the spirit that fills the building. 231 THE •KANZA- 1925 Primary Training League OFFICERS First Semester.

President ............................FERN BABCOCK Vice-President .......................ZENIA CHAMBERS Secretary ............................GRACE GUTHRIE Treasurer ............................GLADYS BAKER College Secretary ................MISS ELLA BENNETT Y. W. C. A. Young people around the world are becoming dissatisfied with the existing social order. We look around us and see the hate and fear and prejudice that exists in the lives of people. We see international wars, racial conflicts, political corruption and industrial unrest. We see people chafing under social restrictions and conventions- We look into our own lives and see that we are not getting the satisfaction we want. We look about us for some standard by which we can live and see Jesus Christ, the one man in history who has lived life at its fullest and best. Last spring as we began a new association year, we said that we wanted to take Jesus seriously, that we wanted to really try his way of life. We realized that we knew very little about him so several groups began to study Jesus’ life and teachings and what the application of his prin- ciples involved for us. We have attempted to be unbiased by the interpretations that others have put on the records of Jesus' life and find out for ourselves what he was talking about. We have tried to launch out and live according to the discoveries that we have made. Since we realize that we must come to understand each other as men and women, that we have much to share with each other, we have co-operated a great deal with the Y. M. C. A. this last year. We have tried to meet the needs of girls for worship through our weekly meetings and through occasional vesper services. We have stimulated an interest in and provided an opportunity for discussion of political, international, interracial, and personal problems through our weekly forums held jointly with the Y. M. C. A., and through our weekly meetings. We have tried to meet the social needs of girls through friendliness at the first of school, meeting trains, visiting day. Hello Day. through parties such as the Jolly-up, the Y. M--Y. W. Mixer, and the World Fellowship Party and hikes. We have been of service and have incidentally helped to raise our own budget through the sale of second hand books, the sale of candy in Russ Hall and the sale of confections at the football games. Centuries ago the old crusaders set. out with great determination and courage to wrest the Holy Land from the Turks. Today a New Crusade of Youth is starting out to free the world from greed and fear and hate, to find the way to make abundant life possible for all people everywhere. As members of the Y. W. C. A. we have great faith in this new crusade because we are united with other students of this country through the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. and with Christian students around the world through the World Student Christian Federation. 235 THE ■kanza-------- 1925 Young Mens Christian Association CABINET.

M. and Y. W. Some of these were the bringing of Henry Van Dusen, a national lecturer from New York, to the school; the sponsor- ing of the Older Boys’ Conference; and social gatherings, for the development of the social side of college life. More than 450 high school boys attended the meeting of the Older Boys’ Conference here, and were entertained by the Y. M C. A. of the college. Special forum meetings, at which topics of great interest to students were discussed, were held from time to time, and all were well attended. 237 THE -----KANZA--------------———— 1925 The Masonic Club The Masonic Club is an organization composed of Master Masons who are in some way connected with the Kansas State Teachers College of Pittsburg.

A concert was given at Cherokee a short time before the close of school, and a combined concert with the Men’s Club was also held.

Miss Ruth Stamm was the accompanist; Miss Margaret Mitchell, violinist; and Miss Muriel Phillips and Miss Marie Parks, readers. The first appearance was at Columbus. Later the club made a week’s trip, making Phanute, Iola, Moran, Fort Scott, and Parsons on this tour. A concert was also given at the Christian church in this city, and a combined concert with the Girls’ Club was held in Carney Hall auditorium.

BCRUTY SECTION 251 TUC KANZA- 1925 The Kanza Girls As has been the custom here-to-fore, the 1925 Kanza Staff held a popularity contest in connection with the selling campaign. Each class chose a queen, and two maids-of-honor, to represent that class in the contest. The standings during the campaign were fixed upon a percentage basis, the class selling the closest to a hundred per cent of its membership, winning the contest, and the honor of choosing the Queen: and the second highest class naming the maids- of-honor. The different class selections were as follows: Seniors: Zenia Chambers, Queen: Maxine Smalley and Ruth Gray, Maids-of-Honor. .Juniors: Roma Riggs, Queen: Doris Rush and Mae Harpole, Maids-of-Honor. Sophomore: Nellie Ross, Queen; Bessie Steele and Nellie Amrien, Maids-of-Honor. Freshman: Clelia Bennett, Queen; Ruth Watson and Velma Binckey, Maids-of-Honor. On the following pages, we have the honor of presenting to the school, the 192 5 Kanza Girls, and also the Stadium Queen, who was selected from the student body by popular vote, to preside at the dedication of the stadium last fall.

The program for the week started off on Monday evening with the dedication of K. S. T. C.’s new $35,000 electrically controlled pipe organ, by Signor Pietro Yon, one of the world’s greatest organists. The installation of the organ, one of the largest in the middle west, marks another period in the growth and progress of the college, and will prove to be a great attraction for future Festival programs. Tuesday night, the Women's physical education department presented the annual pageant before a filled auditorium. The first part of the program consisted of a rythmic dramatization of the “Frog Prince. Interpretative dances by children, ranging from the kindergarten up into high school, made a colorful affair of this delightful fairy tale. The second part of the evening’s entertainment was given by college girls, and consisted of an interpretation of the William Tell Overture; preliminary fencing tactics; the Blue Danube Waltz; Danube Waves, represented by illuminated Indian clubs; a Rustic Wedding, represented by dances; and a Zouaves drill finished the evening. Wednesday evening, the Festival Chorus presented Mendelssohn’s Elijah,” an undertaking almost as ambitious as the “Messiah” given later in the week- A chorus of three hundred, and an orchestra of forty-five pieces furnished the program. On the next evening, the artist who appeared with the chorus on the previous night, gave a concert. Julia Claussen, contralto; Paul Althouse, tenor: and Arthur Middleton, bass, gave the program. Marie Sundelius, who was also scheduled to appear was forced to relinquish her place on the program because of sickness. Thursday morning and afternoon was given over to the high school contestants in vocal and instrumental solos. Each year this department of the festival grows, and this year was no exception to the rule. At first, the solo and organization contests were held on the same day. but because of the rapid growth, the soloists had to be given a whole day to themselves. Friday morning and afternoon saw the greatest group of high school students that has ever assembled on the campus here for the premier high school musical attraction of this section. Eighteen hundred contestants appeared for honors in the organization selections at that time. Friday night saw the presentation of the feature for the week, the eleventh rendering of the famous Messiah,” by the festival chorus of three hundred. Each year this beautiful oratorio gains in popularity, and hundreds flock from all over this section to hear it sung by the K. S. T. C. chorus, under the direction of Professor McCray, to whom a great deal of credit is due for the success of the undertaking each year. THE KANZA— 1925 FESTIVAL WEEK. April 27, 1925—May 1, 1925.

Diary ol a College Boy Sept. 9—Enrollment day. Everyone is hunting for old flames, or trying to Ignite new ones. 10— we met classes today. Prof. Scott is doing a land office business, and expects to preach “abolution of labor” to a larger audience than ever before. 11— Confound it. anyway. Doesn't that prof know that we never come prepared on the first assignment. 12— STUDY! Same old resolution. Wonder if it will last a week? 13— I hope no one calls for me while 1 am washing this shirt. Oh, well, if they do. I’ll tell them I’m sick. 14— Curses on that lousy tramp. If that ain’t a roommate for you. Just because this is Sunday, the culprit put on my only clean shirt, and left before I got up. He sure believes in public ownership. 15— It is whispered about that the Gorilla is getting restless. With football so near at hand, it is reasonable to expect this gentleman to go on the warpath soon. 17— Wednesday is here and I’m going to get busy and find me a date. No need of being a recluse forever. 18— Why do they call that stuff vanishing cream, anyway? It just won't vanish off my coat sleeve. Gee, but I’m sleepy. Guess I’ll cut the first class and sleep till chapel time. 19— First issue of the Collegio has appeared. Thirteen marriages listed on the first page has led us to believe that Dan Cupid has discarded his bow and arrow in favor of a sawed-off shot gun. 20— Every rose has its thorn. The room rent is due today. 22—I just can’t study today. Why on earth did she have to go and step out with that dumb bell for. 2 3—Local ward heelers are getting busy. The primary election took place today. 24— Also rans are giving alibis today, and trying to dope out the final election. 25— Lots of excitement today. Election is developing a host of new political bosses. The grand climax was reached when an inter-class argument developed into a free-for-all scrap. 2 6—Politics, class fights, and other things that cause trouble are laid aside, while every one comes out to the Gorilla Carnival at night. 28—Sunday. Perhaps rest and refreshments can be found by going to see the sweetie. Oh boy, but she does love pressed tulips. 30—The stillness of the day was broken occasionally with a resounding swat. This means that another paddle found time to nestle down between the hip pockets of a freshman. Oct. 2—Emerson Bennett was taking measurements for ladies made-to-order hosiery today. Pretty good job. regardless of salary. 3—Ring out, wild bells. We open the football season with a victory over Warrens- burg Teachers, 6-0. 264 4— Gee, but I’m sleepy. The dorm rush of last night, ended this morning at three o'clock, but who cares for a little thing like that? 5— No school today. See the calendar for further infor- mation. 6— New Y. M. secretary is on deck this morning. Our old crony, Geo. Small, assumed this duty for the coming year. 7— Fern Babcock tells us that Europeans don’t like us Americans. Maybe so, but it seems that some of Europe’s noblemen are quite affec- tionate towards our oil- men’s daughters. 8— I wish I had a barrel. This suit needs pressing. 9— What’s the use? I had it pressed, and it needs it again as badly as ever. Heavy girls are too expen- sive. 10— Gorillas hold a big pajama parade tonight. 11— Lots doing today. Football season opens at home. Course we expect to beat Baker. P. S. We did beat ’em. buddy. 12— Don’t believe I’ll write any- thing today. It’s Sunday, and besides, I know a girl whose steady is out of town. She might as well hold my hand as his. 13— No, Doctor. I tell you I wasn’t hit by a train. 1 went to see another fellow’s girl. 14— All-school picnic. A few sap-heads brought dates as usual. Many were the paddles, and hot were the pants. 15— “The boy stood on the burning deck”—because he took a date to the all-school picnic, and couldn’t sit down. THE 265 1925 16— Now I can get my note book up to date. We are dismissed for a Teachers’ convention. 17— Now my note book is done. All ready for those back reports. Thank heavens for this vacation. 18— Oh boy. All back work finished. Guess I’ll step out tonight, and celebrate. 19— —Please, nursie, put some more ice on my head. This is about to kill me. Thanks, I'll remember you when this is over. Darn these celebrations, anyway. 20— I simply must call on that nurse. She was so kind to me yesterday, and besides, she is a sweet looking little dear. 21— Hard luck is sure my name. That crazy nurse acted so cute and playful, and then slapped my face over noth- ing. I never did like her, anyway. She’s a cat. 22— Rush week begins today, so they tell me, but nobody seems to be in a hurry. 23— Durn these sororities, any- way. They’ve got the girls all puffed up till they won’t talk to a fellow. 24— A petition is being circu- lated today calling for shorter skirts, and higher street car steps. No trouble getting signers. 25— Homecoming Day. Didn’t we step hard on C. of E? Can’t help feeling import- ant tonight. 27— Blue Monday is right. Quiz, note book, an’ everything else comes at once to make life miserable. Cain was right—“My punishment is more than I can bear.’’ 28— Well, I guess we are going to get that pipe organ after all. Some one said today that it was “virtually assur- ed.” I suppose he knows. THE 30— Get ready folks, we have ordered a special train for Emporia, and it leaves to- morrow morning. 31— The day of days is here. We are off to the land of our arch enemies. A whole train of leather- lunged rooters will sweep down on the sleepy little village of Emporia today, and remind them of the fact that they have a rotten football team. Nov. 1—Boy Howdy! Didn’t we soak it to Bill Hargiss and his gang of would-be foot- ball players, yesterday? I'll say we did. 2—“I haven't recuperated from that Emporia jaunt yet,” was a common expression heard on the campus to- day. Cheer up, buddy, Em- poria hasn’t either. 4— Prof. Shirk lectures on Moonshine”—to his class in astronomy. 5— A speaker in chapel tells of starting his career as a ‘‘little bare-foot boy. He must think the rest of us were born with shoes on. 7— College high plays today. That is the only joke I know of. 8— Alpha Gamma Tau fratern- ity is organized. Don Dill- man expects to be pledged to I Tappa Keg. 11— Stadium is dedicated today, and what’s more, we step- ped on Friends University. Football prospects are be- ginning to loom up. 12— A very gusty wind is blow- ing. Don’t cuss the weath- er man, it is only Prof. Wilson making a speech. 13— Shrieks and howls are heard coming from Carney Hall. Don’t be alarmed, it is only the girls’ glee club warming up for the season. 2G7 —KANZA' 1925 DIAKV (Coiit.) 14— More hot air- The debate teams are clearing decks for action. 15— Business is dull at the College Inn today. Downing said that only three girls came in for kisses today—the candy kind. 16— Darn this rain. It queers every date that I get. 17— Prof. Bowen called the roll today for a change. Gene Newman was the only one caught. 18— Green Lizards elect sponsors. What is coming next? 19— Everyone trying to borrow a few cents for tonight's date. They usually do on Wednesdays. 20— Campaigns open for a Kanza Queen. Dad wants to know when we begin to study. 21— Capper says that the Arden Players must disband. It is too much trouble to clear the eggs off the stage after each performance. 22— Another feather in our cap. Washburn thought a cyclone had visited the north- ern part of the state, when the Manuals handed them a 20-0 defeat. Everybody watching us. and afraid we are going to win the conference. It does look a little bit that way. 23— Motor caravan returns from Topeka with flat tires, wind-broken motors, and fagged out passengers. 26—What a relief. School closed today for Thanksgiving vacation. Good-bye, every- one. Don’t eat too much. Dec. 1—Back again. No news during vacation. I ate too much for comfort. 2—Several “studes” showed up missing when school convened. ■I—Kansas Older Boy’s Conference opens. Some mob. 5— San Carlos Op6ra Company presents “.Martha.” That orchestra ain’t got nothin' on Kennies jazz orchestra. 6— Arden Players are swarming again. Seems like when we get one reform measure through, another issue bobs up. 8— English teacher’s convention in St. Louis. Miss Graham went with an open mind: Miss Brendemuhl with an open ear; and Prof. Wilson with an open mouth. 9— Every one is losing sleep over Christmas. 12—All-school party tonight. Turned out to be a slumber party. 15—Already some of the students are pleading with the Dean to let them go home early—and some are pleading for him to let them stay in school. 19—Vacation once more. Christmas this time. It should come more often.

Woods NowJony Hungry DcJa.y zd At Sga PreXY THE ------KANZA——— 1925 The She-Auk BY RAFFLES GRABASHEENY (Synopsis of preceding chapters: Sakr-er-Bleu, the French son of the Rheumantic Duke of Sciatica, has in a fit of rage knocked all the candles off the Christmas tree. Jeeves, however, feels that there is a deeper motive, and on a dark night goes alone to the deserted castle. The striking workmen plot against Ralston’s life; and while the party is at its height, there is a muffled cry from the balcony. At the crucial moment. General Lee Speaking finds that a traitor has stolen the maps; Ralston, con- fronted by the proof of his wife’s faithfulness, confesses all.) Begin the story here: Chapter XVI. Sakr-eh-Bleu. the Scourge of the Sciatic, strode the quarter-deck. Now and again he glanced down to the four-bit deck, where the King and Queen played pinochle with the Knave. Suddenly he halted, his eyes riveted upon a speck on the horizon. “By the toenails of Allah!” he cried, using a vile oath which it is not convenient to repeat: and. unwinding his scimitar, he prepared to do battle. Approaching him was the fleet of Don Guzman de Perro Callente y Mustardo, Admiral of their most unspeakable Majesties. Sakr-eh-Bleu could descry the tall, martial figure, clad in a Parkerhouse roll, erect upon the binnacle of his flagship. The Scourge of the Sciatic drove his great galleon on and on, the propellers leaving a wake not meant to be noticed by the audience. Chapter III. Hardly had the ships touched when hundreds of naked black corsairs, swathed from head to foot in the tamarinds of their race, and wearing the sacred wurra-wurra of the prophets, leaped on the deck. Scarce a man but had provided himself with a trusty mezzanine with which to belay the enemy, who were not to reappear until the mob scene in Chapter LVX1XI1. Chapter XIXIX (Series A2Z) Benjamin-ben-Benjamin. known to his friends as Ben-ben-Ben, turned his gaze from the pages of La Vie Parisienne. He thought that the lady who stood before him was most remarkably fair. And he was right. Doggone your ornery hide.” Lady Cadwalader-Jukes (for it was none other than she. or her, as the case may be) hissed sibilantly. Big Ben wiped off his chin. He was frankly rattled. “Quite so,” he replied. “But. then, life is like that, isn’t it. Lady Winderham— I mean Cadwalader?” Chapter 31416. Naught was to be seen on the face of the ocean save a gentle swell, which now and then was even gentler than at other times. A peaceful August moon beamed from the constellation of Scipio Africanus, and illuminated a pair of solitary figures clinging to what was once a port hatch of a mighty galleon. The ocean was wet. So were the two figures. They were saturated. Their hair was wet, and their faces, and hands, and their shoes were full of water, and so were their pockets. The scene was all wet. Never a goulash hunter roaming the wilds of Bezique knew misery approaching that of these two mortals. The waves slapped gently against the bit of flotsam, or, if you prefer, jetsam. At length the utter stillness was broken by the voice of Sir Oliver, erstwhile Scourge of the Sciatic. “ 'Twill now be Maytime in Somersetshire, the hedgerows abloom with the thistles of old England, acushla. Ach, due lieber, wie the nutty brown ale of October will be flowing in all the public houses, and the barmaids mopping off the counters with a piece of last year’s petticoat. Oh. to be a barmaid, now that spring is here!” His voice trembled and broke. He paused for a moment, and then, in a tone faint with a nameless longing: “Gwendoline—mayn’t I call you Lady Cadwalader-Jukes? With a glad cry she fell into his arm. . . . And the two figures, though still clinging, were no longer solitary. Chapter I. And so they rode away into the sunset, watching the dawn of a new day. —Stanford Chaparral.

We have tried to present to the school a book of which it might be proud, and how well we have succeeded, it is impossible to tell just now. We hope there are very few mistakes, as the staff has done its best to keep them at a minimum, but we are only human, and all that can be said is that we have done our best. This book is presented to the student body, the school, and all friends of the school, with the feeling that the wonderful records made by our college in all the fields of its activities during the past year, have, in at least a small way, been preserved for the future students to look back upon, and strive to excell. If this has been done, then we are satisfied; if not, we are sorry, as that was the aim from the beginning. If you like it, smile. If you don’t like it, smile any- way. and hope that the next staff will do a better job. THE 1925 KANZA STAFF. Louis Stroup, Editor. Elden Werner, Business Manager. The Student Council PERDUE B.

The members have participated in all of the high school activities of the year, and were well represented on the football, basketball, and track teams. The class had very capable leaders in their officers, Norvelle Deruy, Nadeane Cracraft, and Jewel O’Dell. Not the least important of their activities was the class play, given under diffi- culties, but never-the-less, carried out successfully. With all the activities, the class has maintained a high standard of scholarship. I i ! I ' ! i ' i 0 i [ i r j i i i PERDUE B. GRAVES...................Pittsburg President Student Council.

The Prince of Liars” was a sparkling comedy, and the plot of the play was upheld exceedingly well by the cast selected for the production. The installation of the new pipe organ in Carney Hall interrupted the practice for the play, and finally made it necessary to use the smaller stage in Russ Hall for the entertainment.

THE Paul Alyea Whenever one mentions the name of Paul Alyea, there is an instant recognition of one of the greatest all-around athletes in the history of the school. He has been one of the most brilliant and enduring of players in football, basketball, and track that ever participated in these events at K. S- T. C. Paul is the coach for the College high school athletics. During his career here, he has produced several teams of high reputation, both in ability and sportsmanlike tactics, even though he has always had a dearth of material to produce winning teams.

In nine games, Coach Paul Alyea’s lads won only two and tied one. Early season injuries to regulars hindered in the building of a winning machine. To add to this misfortune, Coach Alyea was not blessed with an over-supply of material. A football team is no stronger than its reserves, remarked one football au- thority, and it seems to be the truth. The preps had only a bare few reserves to send into the game when the regulars were forced out either temporarily or permanently from injuries. The outlook for next season is bright, as only five letter men will be graduated. The letter men for last season are: Frank Brady, Parley Conard, Bernard Carlson, Ralph Dellinger, Norvelle Deruy, Henry Donnelly, Henry Huffman, John Jendritz, Paul Jones, Marion Jessup, Martin Jessup, Charles Lamborne, Galen Spencer, Elmer Schlicting, and Robert Plagens. i s !

Several of the games were lost only by the narrowest of margins, and can be attributed to hard luck or just being not quite good enough. There is no attempt to alibi. The record of the team last year is more promising than some of former years. Coach Alyea had a string of youngsters on his squad, who lacked in experience and in mastery of the game, but it was the fightingest crew he ever put on the floor. Throughout the Southeast Kansas high school league, it was always regarded as a dangerous opponent, and played most of the stronger teams in that loop close battles, even winning from Fort Scott, which finished second in the league standings. The letter men are: Rollie Barani, Bernard Carlson, John Cramer, Paul Gallett, Robert Lance, Paul Mendenhall, Paul Jones, and Robert Plagens.

RIDGWAY’S HARDWARE IN CASE OF SHIPWRECK. In case you were cast away on a des- ert beach and saw your former girl com- ing toward you. how would you greet her? This is a delicate question of etiquette which everyone should be pre- pared to answer on a minute’s notice. As the Englishman would do it, “Oh, I say now. haven’t I met you somewhere before? Here’s a lark! You must come and have tea with me, down at the ‘breakers,’ I fawncy. The rank romanticist, “My love, it is fate which has brought us together in this lonely spot. From now on our lives must be one. Kismet. (Or Kiss me.)” And as the Materialist would do it, “Thank heaven, I’ve been worried to death for fear that I'd have to cook breakfast. And now, Mary, you’d better put on this fig leaf apron and start get- ting the sea weed ready.” —Tiger. THE SEVEN LOVES OF WOMAN At ten—Her favorite doll. At twenty—Her rejected suitor. At thirty—Her youngest baby. At forty—Casanova. At fifty—Her eldest son. At sixty—Her first grandchild. At seventy—Her husband, providing he is dead. —Jack o’Lantern. LOVE’S SWEET SACRIFICE. She loved me. I loved her. “What- ever I have belongs to you,” she said. Everything in my home is yours.” Her home was a beautiful one. I was especially fond of the porch and the rustic gate over which we used to lean when I kissed her good-night. She meant what she said. Everything in her home was mine. Last night she gave me the freedom of her porch. But we quarreled over something—I don’t remember what. And, true to her words, she ended up by giving me the gate. —Mercury. It was six o’clock in the evening and the little red car manned by one male was crowded to the limit. Here, you!” bawled the motorman, angrily, “you rang up a fare. Do that again and I’ll put you off the car!” The freshman jammed in the middle of the car at once rang up another fare. Thereupon the conductor stopped the car, forced his way through the jam and projected the offender through the crowd and to the edge of the platform. “Thanks. said the freshman; “here’s your fourteen cents. I didn’t see any other way to get off. —Masquerader. John Friggeri DIAMOND MERCHANT 315 North Broadway Commerce Shoe Repair Quality, Service and Workmanship Work Called for and Delivered CHAS. 0.

Give her the air in the Stutz at least once a day- Cases of complete failure have occurred as a result of vio- lating this rule. 3. Contrary to expectation, rest and quiet are the last things to be thought of. Say it with jazz. 4. Although filet mignon and mush- rooms go over fairly well, most nourish- ment can be administered through a bottle. Statistics show there are more bottle babies than any other kind. 5. Always approach the object of your devotion carefully: look around to make sure that no one else is in sight for whom she might possibly toss you flat: then advance firmly but with the fear of God in your heart. Acquire a manner that is a cross between Rudolph Valentino and Mary Pickford. The cave man stuff has gone forever. 6. Remember, baby needs plenty of exercise. A dance, three times a week, is recommended. Tn dancing, wrap your arm three times around her waist, to keep the little dear from falling. If she looks pained—that's her worry. 7.

SMITH, Vice President HENRY COLBURN, Asst. Cashier How Do You Pack A Suitcase for the Summer Vacation? The first thing to do is to obtain a suitcase and something to put in it. It will perhaps be easier to find the suitcase than something to pack, but this will depend upon your own ingenuity and also your knowledge of the places where they sell it. After collecting all your shirts (2), all your socks (3 pair and 1 extra), and all the other clothing you may possess or have the use of, arrange the different articles in order of their rank. The socks will probably have first place in this. Now carefully measure the area of the suitcase, and then compute the volume thereof. With a piece of chalk, lipstick, or other handy instrument, mark off the outline of the various articles on the bottom of the suitcase. Try to get everything to coincide, that is, to dove-tail, with whatever is next to it. Just try it. This step will take perhaps five minutes—perhaps. Now place each article in the suitcase in such a manner that it will be in the outline you have drawn in its proper place. Perhaps it would be best to number each outline and paint a corresponding number on the article, a shirt, for instance. Tar, pitch, grease, or tobacco juice could be easily used for this purpose. Now, after following the above directions for each step, pile everything in the suitcase, close the cover, sit on It, and fasten it securely with rope, nails, or glue. An advantage of this method of packing a suitcase is that sometimes the clothing Is not wrinkled. Accidents will happen, as Socrates remarked sagely, while drinking his hemlock.—Jack o’ Lantern.

For five houi's he had been peacefully sleeping. Sudenly, at 3 o’clock in the morning, a dark figure opened the door and entered the room. It was his room- mate. Walter half opened his eyes. His room-mate did not know he was awake. Silently Walter watched him walk over to the dresser, stand for a moment in thought, and then pick up a glistening object. Silently Walter watched him slink out of the room. Walter, now fully awake, sat up. He heard his room-mate’s footsteps reced- ing down the hall: he heard the steps turn In at the bathroom door. A puzzled look came over Walter’s face. His hand shook as he reached toward the wall to steady himself. His nerves were badly shaken, and he knew it. Straining his ears, he heard a trickle of water. This was too much. TTe trembled from head to foot as the horrid thought tortured him. He opened his mouth, but fear paralyzed his vocal chords. He struggled. At last he found his voice.
