KANSAS 9 TO CONSTRUCT a history, not for today but for tomorrow—a history that will bring back pleasant memo- ries of the students at old K. S. T. C., of their varied activities and wonderful achievements, of the de- lightful hours spent with them—this has been the earnest endeavor of the 1927 Kanza. 19 27 « % CAMPUS BOOI l LIBRARY i THE CAMPUS INDUSTRIAL ARTS ADMINISTRATION BOOIf2 m a PAGE 22 GREETINGS Students of our Kansas State Teachers College, permit me to congratulate you upon the successful termination of a delightful school year. Previous years have not witnessed on this campus a more loyal, better spirited group of students than you who have composed this 1926- 27 student body. College life means associations—associations in turn become friendships. Those ties we form in College mean more to us, in later years, than the choicest the world may offer. Though a curriculum is indispensible, a college education is decidedly incomplete without certain bonds of fellowship; and he who graduates without their creation graduates with an incomplete education. College offers you more than lesson assignments—more than library references. It affords proper opportunities for fellowship—that indispensible element in all true success. Yet, the scholastic side of college life cannot be neglected. Indeed, good grades and one's social life are interdependent. No one can be a successful student until he learns to correlate the two. The 1928-’27 chapter in our college career is now almost written. It is for all time a part of the book of our life. From this chapter may we always be able to draw inspiration. The inspiration it will afford us will correspond pretty closely to the degree in which we have merited, through our own efforts, the good things it has brought us. Cordially, • f PAGE 24 GREETINGS In compliance with the request of the Kanza staff, and with gratitude to them for the opportunity which they afford me, I wish to bring to you another annual greeting. We are mindful of the passing years, and they seem to be passing more rapidly as the institution grows in enrollment and curriculum, since it requires constant endeavor on the part of every member of the faculty to do his work, and 'keep up with the profession. The past year has been another one of record breaking. Our enrollment at the present is the largest of any previous enrollment, our faculty is the largest, and best qualified it has ever been, and the number of courses that are being offered is greater than ever before. According to the Bureau of Education, K. S. T. C, the past two years graduated the largest degree class of any teachers college in the United States, and before this book shall have reached all of its readers, we will have graduated a degree class far larger in number than any previous year. These things indi- cate the rapidity with which our institution is growing. However, whatever may have been the speed of growth and development, we are always pleased to stop and greet our friends. Trusting that the past year has been the best in your experience, and with best wishes for a continuation of success and happiness, I am Sincerely yours, G. W. TROUT, Dean of the College. MRS. HATTIE MOORE MITCHELL DEAN OF WOMEN GREETINGS Should this page be read by the parent of some student of K. S. T. C., to such a one we offer the loyalty and ap- preciation which maturity owes to youth in its urge toward the oncoming of days yet to be. To the alumnus who recognizes the features on this page, we bear a greeting of love and well wishes because we were friends of days gone by. To the student whose helpful fellowship this year on the campus or in the class-room has made it a privilege for us, you and me, to walk and talk together, may this page be a reminder of the days when the “ups and downs” of college life seemed almost to take away the joy of living. To the high school graduate whose slogan is “College Next,” we bid you genuine welcome to the comradeship and inspiration that come but once in a life when a boy or a girl chooses his Alma Mater, In this service as clean of women, which any woman may covet, I find no better greeting than the woj ds from our President, “Anything that is big enough to worry you, is not too trivial for us to consider,” Yours cordially, MRS. HATTIE MOORE MITCHELL, Dean of Women. GREETINGS W. Y. MORGAN CHAIRMAN BOARD OF REGENTS No generation before yours has had the opportunities ahead of it which yours has, and also I feel that none has had the opportunity for preparation which is yours. The big world is moving rapidly and the students of Kansas State Teachers College are to take their part in mak- ing the wheels revolve. Competitors in this friendly contest for leadership are also being prepared elsewhere. Every chance now given to you at the College should be utilized so that in later years you will not run behind in the race. The State of Kansas is doing the best for its young people that it can afford to do. Along with the substantial means of education go the good wishes and the hearty sympathy of the people of the state. Could I invite you to a more alluring, more adventurous, and more delightful effort? Come on, and as the soldiers say, “Let's go! LIBRARY ODELLA NATION. B.S. “The true university of these days is a collection of books.” Porter Library, with four large reading rooms, well lighted and well furnished, a book capacity of about 90,000 volumes, will be the university of K. S. T. C. It is the most beautiful building on the campus. Designed es- pecially for library work, its books will be accessible to those who want them, as well as to those who need them. By students who have been handicapped in the past by crowded and noisy reading rooms, the Main Reading Room on the second floor will be greatly appreciated. While it is readily accessible to students, it is apart from the rush line of students asking for assigned readings and from the con- fusion that often arises from congestion at the delivery desk. Richard de Bury, Bishop of Durham, once said, “The library, therefore, of wisdom, is more precious than riches, and nothing that can be wished for us is worthy to be compared with it. Whosoever, therefore, acknowl- edges himself to be a zealous follower of truth, and happiness, of wisdom, of science, or even of the faith, must of necessity make him- self a lover of books.” GEOGRAPHY EULALIA E. ROSEBERRY. B, S. The Geography Department is attempting to give the students an appreciation of the value of a knowledge of the facts and phenomena of geography which function in ordinary reading and in every day so- cial and occupational relations. It is also hoped that the student by an intelligent understanding of the influence of geographic environs on all peoples of the world may grow into a sympathetic fellow-feeling toward them. As the work of the department is practically wholly with teachers and prospective teachers, much effort is expended in emphasiz- ing the many avenues of geography through which the teacher may im- press upon the school children in their charge the value of loyalty, pat- riotism, conservation and respect for law and order. The Geography Department of K. S. T. C. greets you and wishes to see you. CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES ♦ jO JAMES A. YATES. B. S. M S. This department gladly greets the readers of The Kanza. We are glad that we have had an opportunity to know as many of you as we have. We have earnestly given our best efforts to acquaint you with the fields of science which are represented by the department. Our lab- oratories are planned to furnish each student purposeful experiences. These new phenomena supply basal information upon which the student builds his education. A mere glance at the field of education today will convince anyone of the immense role which is played by the scientists. We are living in a scientific age. Practically all work in every field of activity is modified and helped by the discoveries of science made during the last century. We seek to serve you in the most helpful way. BIOLOGY O. P. DELLINGER. A, BPH D, “Culture is the possession of an ideal broad enough to form the basis of a criticism of life. No one can possess this ideal today who has not had the facts and spirit of modern science as well as history and art as a part of his education,” The social problems which today face the human race find their explanation and solution in the tested experiences of science rather than in theoretical speculations. This department is today overflowing with students. The curric- ulum covers a wide range of subjects. Each subject here has a specific application to some human problem, and is taught by a specialist in that field. Plans are under way for a museum in the new library, and the administration has promised an additional teacher for next year. It is hoped to build a bigger and better department for the future. MATHEMATICS J. A. G. SHIRK, A.M., MLS, Mathematics interests every person, either from the standpoint of production or consumption. Every individual must occasionally make some calculations, and is therefore a consumer of mathematics. Many people are ignorant of the benefits to be derived from the use of this valuable tool, and prefer to do their thinking and reach their conclusions in a general way without the aid of the exact processes of mathematics. The leaders in almost every field of human knowledge are now clearly recognizing that to be exact is to be mathematical. Men who jested at mathematics a few years ago are now seeking for information concerning its processes. We as teachers of mathematics are in the producing class, and are trying to meet this universal demand for mathematical knowledge by devising specialized courses in mathematics. Our department is growing rapidly in numbers and enthusiasm, as we not only prepare producers of mathematics but also train hundreds of other young men and women to become efficient consumers of mathe- matics. INDUSTRIAL ARTS A. H WHITESITT, □ S. The Industrial Arts Department has two functions to perform: first, to prepare teachers to teach well; second, to prepare workers to work well. Some industrial teachers seem to think that their main job is to pre- pare trained workers for industry. We do need better trained workers, and our public schools should do for such, all that is in their power; but where will the producer in industry find a market for his product except there be an intelligent, economic consumer to take and use his product? Where there is one producer, there are many consumers. The industrial teacher has a tlual function to perform—he must help to prepare the worker for industry and he must also help to pre- pare the multitudes for intelligent consumption. He is a wise teacher who senses the proportionate needs of both groups and works to satisfy each. We believe the Industrial Arts department is succeeding in its problems, as evidenced by the increased interest and numbers of stu- dents who have enrolled in this department during the last year. As evidence of the practicability of the work being done in this department, witness this issue of the Kanza, which comes from the K. S, T. C. press. COMMERCE E. F SHOLTZ, B S At its present stage, commercial education as it stands today repre- sents a degree of progress in educational development of which we may well be proud. Of far greater significance, however, are the indications on every hand that it is not to remain static while business reorganiza- tion and expansion loudly call for new types of business training. Among the encouraging signs of a forward movement are the numerous studies, investigations, and reports that are being made by associations of teach- ers, federal and state educational departments and individuals. There is apparent confusion to the meaning of commercial educa- tion. This is a broad one and must cover more than one type of train- ing for business. There are those who would have us believe that it can be applied only to the orthodox training for bookkeeping or stenographic positions, others contend that it' applies only to training for executive positions. Some of us believe that it is applicable to any suitable train- ing for commercial occupations. We all agree that it is filling a long felt need in our educational system. The Business Department of the Institution is awake to this prog- ress and is offering some strong courses in teacher-training and office preparation, with a very strong faculty in charge. MUSIC WALTER McCRAY. B MUS. The Music Department the past year enrolled more than 1,200 in class work and private lessons. Our enrollment this year promises to exceed that of last. We now have «55 graduates of the Music Supervisor’s Course in the field teaching, and we have many others in other lines of music work. Each year from various high schools there come to us more and more students, who have become interested in music through their or- chestras, glee clubs, and theoretical courses, and who have elected to take the amount of music units allowed them for graduation, to give a better foundation for their music major in college. To this foundation wc add courses of academic training, which fit our supervisors to become efficient educators and team workers along with the other members of a faculty. Then there is added the great amount of musical theory and applied music, such as sight singing, his- tory, harmony, voice, piano, violin, orchestration, conducting and chorus, which fit our supervisors to become efficient musicians and community leaders in directing the voice and instrumental work of the whole school system or a building. Through the theoretical subjects they build up the musicianship of the students, and help to foster in the community an appreciation of finer things in life. TRAINING SCHOOL D. M BOWEN. A. B The Department of Education, consisting of those members of the faculty engaged in distinctly professional training, extend greetings to the Kanza Staff, the graduates of 1927, and the large and enthusiastic student body you represent. We also congratulate you on the privilege and responsibility you have of recording in your annual the most suc- cessful year in the history of the institution. The first quarter of the Twentieth Century has witnessed two great movements in education. One of these is the shift in emphasis from the subject to be taught, to the child to be educated. Professional training has been modified and intensified to meet this changing conception of the school, if indeed it has not been the cause of the change. The second movement is the conviction that the school is the agency by which and through which the social, economic, and civil needs of modern life are to be realized. This institution had its inception in this idea and has ever been in the forefront of the battle for a more practical and useful system of education. It should be the duty and pleasure of the faculty, alumni, and student body to co-operate in maintaining this command- ing position. FOREIGN LANGUAGES SAMUEL J PEASE. A M With the same department faculty as last year, and more students, the Department of Foreign Languages wishes you, one and all, a lifetime of the noblest service. May you use and improve constantly what you have learned at K. S. T. C., and send back to us the best you have: ideas, ideals—and students! REGISTRAR AND EXAMINER J. F MITCHELL. A B . A. M From personal experience we know how young people away from home at school often want some one to whom they can go to advise re- garding their work. We feel that this office should be open to all stu- dents of the Institution and that our services should be at the reasonable command of any student or alumnus. We arc especially glad to assist any members of the faculty who have problems relative to their records. Students, both new and old, and members of the faculty are always wel- come here. This office belongs to the State of Kansas. RURAL EDUCATION EDGAR NEl SON MENDENHALL PH 13 O ALMA MATER. BEACON BRIGHT 0 Alma Mater, Beacon Bright Of southeast Kansas plains, Thy sons and daughters lilt their love In these deep, heartfelt strains. Thy classrooms, halls, thy fields of strife Our heart-strings intertwine; Our souls, our minds thy imprint bear, Their dross thou didst refine. Pierce darkness, Mater, shed thy rays Upon tradition’s chain; Unfetter minds and haste the time When Truth and Justice reign. Shine on, O Mater, Beacon Bright Of southeast Kansas plains, Light others' steps to heights beyond Our vision and refrains. Burn bright. 0 Beacon; in our hearts Shall altar embers glow. Vestal led by Love’s eternal flame. Unquenched by Age’s snow. 0 Alma Mater, Beacon Bright Of southeast Kansas plains, We pledge our constant love for thee In these, our heartfelt strains. EXTENSION L. A- GUTHRIDGE. B. S. The Extension Department of K. S. T. C. is maintained for the purpose of rendering service to students and friends of the institution wherever they may be located. A large number of ambitious students not only of Kansas but scattered over many of the states of the Union, have availed themselves of the opportunity of keeping fit while on the job—learning and earning at the same time. The student can not stand still professionally. He must either move forward or slip backward. The teacher of tomorrow must know more and must be able to render better service to society than is being exacted from members of the profession at the present time. We who are in charge of the extension work shall be well pleased if, even in a small way, we may render a service that will increase the efficiency of members of the teaching profession. PHYSICAL EDUCATION G. W. WEEDS, B.S., D D. S. With the graduation of the 1927 class we trust as a department we have been able to minister to your physical needs on the campus. We hope we have given each of you an incentive to take regular exercise which will be continued through the years as you go into your vocational and professional work. We have aimed to keep our intercollegiate athletics on a high level of good sportsmanship. We have been fairly successful in the Kansas Conference the year past, winning two state championships and ranking well up in two others. While we like these honors, yet we count the social and moral virtues that are taught players and spectators re- garding fair play, square dealings, and respectful actions toward oppo- nents as the principal objective. We exhort those who are graduating to carry on in some physical activity and those who return to get into the activities with a vim. PAGE 42 DRAWING AND APPLIED ARTS ELSIE LEITCH BOWMAN The aim of this department is to prepare students to meet the de- mands of tlw public schools for instruction in drawing and to fill the need for supervisors and departmental teachers of art. It also gives training for those who expect to make art their life work. There has been a steady growth each year both in numbers and in- terest ami a widening in the scope of the work. Through the College Art Club, with the co-operation of the school, and the city, fine exhibi- tions of paintings by American artists have been financed. There is a growing realization of the practical value of art and a need felt for and understanding of its principles is shown in the in- creased enrollment in the Art Appreciation classes. Graduates of the Art Supervision course are successfully teaching, while others, specializing in some particular line of the work, are now holding positions in the commercial world. PHYSICAL EDUCATION CARRIE A HUPP The Department of Physical Education for Women extends greetings to the student body and to all others who read this splendid book. The aims of this department are two-fold: first, to offer to the student body wholesome physical activities which help them to “live most and serve best ; second, to train teachers in Physical Education. At the present time every graduate of our degree course is holding a responsible position in a high school, college, or playground, and dur- ing the summer months a number of our graduates teach in summer camps in various parts of the country. This department sponsors the W. A. A. and the Life Saving Corps both active organizations open to any woman enrolled in K. S. T. C. ENGLISH I G. WILSON, B. S . B RED.. B E , A B . A M The English Department of the College has been doing its best to meet the needs of teachers and citizens of Kansas. Courses have been added as fast as needed. No course is maintained for the sake of the course itself. Service has been the objective. There seems to be a great demand for grammar and from the fact that the course has always had large classes, its continuance appears to be justifiable. A new course has now been voted by the faculty. This will be called Grammar 10. Students who take life certificates ought by all means to take the course. There seems now to be a demand for some more composition courses. The plan will be to add these as fast as they are used. A new course in the Minor Elizabethan Drama was added the first semester of 1927. With this course another course will probably be offered as a continuation course—Chief Contemporary Dramatists. Almost all schools are now offering five hours of English Literature in a survey course. We have been offering but three. The same is true of American Literature. Here again we shall meet the other schools as soon as possible. It will be of interest to readers of the Kanza to learn that we are offering this semester nearly twenty courses in English, all of Which are well filled with those who are majors and with those that have elected the work. At present there are 1,1(17 student enrollments in English, and ten teachers are doing the instructing. SPEECH JOHN R PELSMA, B.S.. A B . PH M . M.D. Beecher said, “Oratory is truth sent home by all the resources of living: man Cicero said, “It is most glorious to excel men in that in which men excel all other animals.” Emerson said, “The ability to speak clearly, forcefully, gracefully and effectively is an open sesame to leadership.” Solomon said, “A fool is known by his multitude of words.” A Wall Street business man said, “Unless you acquire in your col- lege course the ability to write and speak effectively, it will not be worth the time and money spent on it.” The Average Person says, “We speak a million words to one we write.” Our Epitaph, “He had some part in teaching folks to think what they spoke and to speak what they thought.” HOME ECONOMICS ADELA ZOE WOLCOTT, PH.B., A M AGNES SAUNDERS, A.B.. A M The home bears a vital relationship to the community. So a de- partment specializing in training for homcmaking should have a most im- portant place in the college education of young women. It is the aim of the Home Economics Department of K. S. T, C. through its organi- zation, breadth of curriculum and spirit of helpfulness and service to fill this place adequately. We are looking forward to a time when no girl will feel that her education is complete without some study of the prob- lems of homemaking. Courses are offered for those who wish to prepare themselves for teaching homemaking, or to become dietitians, demonstrators or insti- tution managers. The department has made progress during the past year. It was with a great deal of pride and a feeling of satisfaction that our Home Management House was opened November first. Miss Alza Rodgers is resident instructor. At the present time, six seniors are living in the house. Our chapter of Phi Upsilon Omicron, the national professional home economics fraternity, and the Home Economics Club are live organiza- tions which are proving of real value and interest to the students of th: department. HISTORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCES G. W TROUT. A B A M The Department of History and Social Science has kept pace with the growth of the institution. We have had an ever-increasing number of students taking a major in this department, so that at the present time we have nearly one hundred and fifty students taking their major work with us. Over nine hundred students are enrolled in courses in the department at present. Therefore, it has become necessary to increase the teaching staff. In addition to the head of the department, we have seven regular instructors who are carrying very heavy loads to accommo- date our friends. In order to meet the demand of the summer session the past two years we have been compelled to have three additional sum- mer faculty members. We are, indeed, very proud of this growth, and we are very anxious to extend opportunities to all those who may wish to do work in the department. May I express the greetings and good wishes of all the members of our departmental faculty to all our friends. You will find every member of this faculty ready and anxious to give special time and attention to your wishes.

Let her worthy sons and daughters For our College proudly stand, Shielding zealously her honor In one brave unbroken band; Let them hold aloft her banner With a stout and steady arm, Rallying her children round it From the city, town and farm.

The aims of the council 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 sorority and non-sorority girls. The duties of the organization are to pass and enforce all rushing rules, to fix dates of all activities in which all the sororities participate, and to regulate all matters which pertain to local sorority life.

The Alpha chapter of the Pi Sigma Epsilon fraternity, was organized in the fall of 1926, at the Kansas State Teachers College of Pittsburg, Kansas. Pi Sigma Epsilon is a social fraternity, and offers an opportunity for social contact both inside the organization and on the campus. The membership is limited to those men on the campus who have a creditable standing with the College, and the student body. The aim of the fraternity is to aid its members in their preparation for life's work, so that they may work more efficiently and effectively in the fields in which they are specializing.

Bowers, with fifteen charter members. Today the chapter numbers sixty-three, with eighteen active and four honorary members at present on the campus. In 1921, five debates were scheduled. This year there were thirty- five. The policy of the organization has been to foster debating and ora- tory by extending the opportunity to as many students as possible rather than to confine the activity to only a gifted few. This policy has re- sulted in fewer victories, but with corresponding greater benefit to the many. But with this plan approximately three-fourths of the debates where a decision was involved, resulted in a victory for K. S. T. C. Last year four debate teams were sent to the National Convention in Estes Park. This year five teams and an orator participated in the Kansas Pro- vincial tournament at Ottawa; and three teams, one orator, and two extempore speakers engaged in the Oklahoma Provincial tournament which was held in Pittsburg, resulting in winning first in girls’ ex- tempore, second in oratory, and second in boys’ and girls’ debates.

UHLAND OZARK GEOLOGY CLASS The first two weeks of the August Session Geology Field Trip was spent at Pineville. Missouri. The “camp” consisted of seven cottages in Walnut Grove, which was convenient to a good swimming hole. Most all of the “out crops” were “covered” by the class. Dean Trout visited the class over the first week-end, holding church services on Sunday. The class got some real thrills while exploring the many caves; the greatest of all thrills was perhaps the finding of a human skeleton of probably pre-Columbian age. Professor Yates visited the class over the second week-end. The last two weeks were spent in the Lake Taneycomo region, the camp being on Presbyterian Hill. The Shepard of the Hills country proved to be rich in fossils. The trip for August, 1927, will be spent in Western Kansas explor- ing for fossils of the ancient seas and working out the geology of the Rockies. The permanent camp will be near the Rocky Mountain Na- tional Park, Colorado. Prof. J. A. Yates Prof. G. E. Abernathy Mrs. G. E.

This has been done through exhibits of local work, financing of traveling exhibits, and the- sponsoring of several art contests. The club was organized in 1921 by Helen Waskey, Mildred Congdon, Edith Buchanan Jcpson, Mrs. H, L. Roseoe and Waylande Gregory, who were all students majoring in art, with Miss Elsie Bowman and Miss Bertha Spencer as faculty advisers. Five exhibits have been sponsored by the club during the annual Spring Festival. In 1922 the exhibit was of American Contemporary oil painters; in 1923, of American illustrators; in 1924, of both English and American oil paintings and etchings; and in 1926, of early and con- temporary American painters. Four pictures have been presented to the College to be hung in the new library-—an etching by Frank Brangwyn; a painting, “Willows,” by Della Miller; “The Birches,” by Coah Henry; and “The Mountains,” bv Albert Bierstadt.

The first issue of the Home Economics Bulletin was published in June, 1920. Since then it has been published quarterly, with increasing success. The purpose of the bulletin is to bind the alumna and students together in promoting the best interests of the department. The bulletin is edited by a stall' of home economics students representing each college class. It is the only student edited bulletin of its kind in the United States. Miss Agnes Saunders, joint director of the department, is ad- viser for the staff. Tb? club undertook the making of a quilt for its project this year The design used was the double Irish chain copied from an old colonial quilt. Several club meetings were given to piecing of the blocks. The money from the sale of the quilt will enable the club to continue its pro- ject of furnishing the reception office of the department. Subscription to the Ellen H, Richards scholarship fund is the educa- tional project of the club for this year. Each state has a quota in this fund and clubs are among those helping to raise the state's quota. PAGE 207 mm PRIMARY TRAINING LEAGUE Officers Louise Kaufman ....................

Its policy of co-operation with the Gorillas has been amply demon- strated during the past four years, inasmuch as this year, for � he first time in our college—possibly in any Kansas Conference school—co-ed cheer leaders were chosen, and much favorable comment has been re- ceived on their work. Our first cheer leaders were: Nadeanc Cracraft, Pittsburg; Ruth Durbin, Ottawa; Marceitis Ware, Pittsburg. A permanent Emergency Loan Fund, under supervision of Mrs. Inez L. Risk, one of the Kampus Kats sponsors, has been established, giving opportunity for small loans for short times to worthy students of the college. Throughout the year numerous social affairs, such as hikes, line parties, and wiener roasts, are enjoyed with special social functions with the Gorillas, including a Christmas party, demonstration parades, and an occasional “picture raid.” PAGE 2 1 A KAMPUS KATS KING THOMAS ADAIR FRAMBES BRYAN WHITE BIDLE COX RICKEY WEEDE WAGGONER ANDERSON USHER SMITH SOFFlETTI WARMINGTON MOON HUFFMAN RAUCH DRISKELL REIFF HOWELL CLUMP RISINGER ILES WILCOX V.

This has been one of the most successful and interesting years of the Polymnia Club, under the direction oi Miss Gabriella Campbell, The club opened its season in a joint concert with the Men's Glee Club at the Pittsburg High school under the auspices of the Pittsburg Federated Clubs. The Club made a week’s concert tour which‘included Fredonia, Severy, Winfield, Latham, Sedan, and Caney. The Club also took an active part in the singing of the “Requiem and “Messiah” during Festival Week. MUSIC MEN’S GLEE CLUB The Men’s Glee Club has had excellent training under the direction of Professor McCray. The organization is made up of the following men: First tenors, Harry White. Matt Ryder, Lloyd Lyons, Oak Alger; second tenors. Kenneth McFarland, Paul Smith, Truman Hayward. Paul Clark, Melvin Taylor; baritones. Job Negeim, Eugene Franks, Mac- Alien, Howard Nichols, Harry Hartwig; basses, Rueben Schmitt, Perdue Graves, James Barrett, Walter Stearns, and Albert Munneke. The work done by the club has been of a serious nature. The music- studied has been that of the best. Such numbers as the “Pilgrims’ Chorus,” from “Tannhauser,” “Going Home,” from Dvorak’s “New World Symphony,” and others of a like caliber have aroused much favor- able comment among discriminating audiences. Some of the music has been of a lighter character, making the programs given by the club well balanced. Vaudeville stunts have never been resorted to. Every year the Men’s Glee Club appears in various cities of Kansas and Missouri. The types of programs given here helped build a repu- tation as a music center for Pittsburg. A Male Quartet, made up of White, Smith, Allen, and Schmitt, finds a place on the program. There are also violin, vocal, and piano solos, adding variety in every concert. The present season has been the most successful the club has ever had. FESTIVAL ARTISTS FORREST LAMONT. TENOR ARTHUR MIDDLETON. BASS-BARITONE SIR CARL BUSCH, JUDGE MUSIC BAM) Carl S.

MEISENHEIMER WEEDE LANCE HOUSEHOLDER MITCHELL SHINDLER WASSER PAGE 236 ATHLETIC COACHING STAFF JOHN F LANCE G A WALKER G. W WEEDE Keeping pace with the remarkable growth of the College, the ath- letic department has sprung from the very mediocre class it held before the coming of Dr. Weede to the commanding position it now holds. Dr. Weede, himself a star Pennsylvania University athlete, coming here from Sterling College, started Pittsburg on its upward rush. A glance at the Gorilla records during the past eight years clearly re- veals the influence of “Doc” as an athletic director and coach of football and track. With three consecutive championship basketball seasons to his credit John Lance looms as a peer of any coach in the Middle West. Lance, a graduate of K. S. T. C., came here from coaching at South- western State Teachers College, Weatherford, Oklahoma, and has been invaluable to the athletic department as head coach of basketball and associate coach of football and track. The latest addition to the coaching staff, G. A. Walker, has proved his mettle by coaching the Gorilla grapplers to two consecutive cham- pionships. Walker is head wrestling coach and associate coach of the other sports. He is a graduate of the University of Illinois Coaching School and played football and basketball there. PAGE 237 FOOTBALL The football season viewed from a point of games won and points scored was not a great success. However, there are none who saw the Gorillas, many of them playing their first year of college football, battle the much-vaunted College of Emporia eleven for sixty thrilling min- utes, who will say that the season was a failure when viewed from the point of the honorable representation which it gave K. S. T. C. Handicapped from the start by lack of seasoned material and later jinxed by injuries and illness among the veterans, the coaches were forced tQ concentrate their resources upon bringing out the ability of the new men. Many of the games lost were by slight margins and due in several instances to mistakes by inexperienced men. The coaches had eliminated these errors by the close of the season and this was evident by the fine play of a team composed largely of first year men in the last game of the season in which Hays Teachers were defeated. With many of this year’s men returning, the Gorilla mentors are antici- pating a stellar grid squad in 1927. Season’s Scores Pittsburg 7 2 0 “Old Grads” Ottawa Bethativ Opponents 0 9 3 0 Fairmount 14 30 St Benedicts 7 0 ... ...College of Emporia 6 3 Emporia Teachers 21 7 Hays Teachers ... 0 49 Totals 60 FOOTBALL FRANK CAMPBELL CAPTAIN 1926 CARL KILLION CAPTAIN 1927 With the graduation of Frank Campbell, captain during the season of 1926, passes one of the school’s greatest linemen, and surely as hard a fighter as ever wore the Crimson and Gold. Campbell came to Pitts- burg from Altamont four years ago and in his four years under Dr. Weede's tutelage he has been a main- stay to the Gorilla squad. He was seriously handicapped by illness dur- ing the last season. As a fitting award for his stellar performance during three grid sea- sons, Carl Killion, junior half back from Howard, was elected to captain the 1927 squad. Dogged by mishaps and injuries this season, Killion is be- ing looked to by Gorilla followers to complete his football career b‘y being a real leader for the fighting Weede- men next year. PAGE 239 FOOTBALI FRANK HOFFMAN Leo Folck, a four-year veteran, filled the role of iron man for this year’s squad, playing at various times, guard, center, and fullback po- sitions- The sturdy Dutchman fully merits the honor accorded him by be- ing voted the team’s most valuable man. His fighting spirit was a source of constant vitality to his team mates. MAURICE WOODFORD Frank Hoffman, Junior, was anoth- er of the main stays around which the Gorilla line was built. The big ex-Pittsburg High man was a power at center and his work both on de- fense and offense caused him to be named by several sport critics as an all-state man. LEO FOLCK Maurice Woodford, sophomore full- back from Atchison, was a bulwark on defense back of the line of scrim- mage and his powerful thrusts at the line are always to be relied upon for yardage. Woody is aggressive and fast for a man of his size. PAGE 2AO FOOTBALL JEAN BENNETT Edward Shilts, Wilson, who aside from being the official team fun- maker, occupied a tackle position, was a man who arose to his greatest height when his strength was needed most. When the debris resulting from a mass play was cleared away, Eddy was usually discovered with his arms around the ball carrier. Jean Bennett, Haviland backfield ace, was probably the fastest man on the Gorilla roster. Well built but not heavy, he depended upon his winged heels for gains. Jean was an all- round backfield man, being adept at ball carrying, defense and interfer- ence running. EOWARO SHILTS Herbert Butterfield, Mulvane. over- came what he lacked in size. b'T his speed and scranoiness. His ability to snag passes and his everlasting fight made him a logical choice for a place at end. HERBERT BUTTERFIELD FOOTBALL PRENTICE GUDGEON Willis Hill, playing at guard, con- sistently gave a good account of him- self, although he was usually out- weighed by his opponent. Hill was exceptionally speedy for a lineman, and he many times overhauled the opposing backs after breaking through the line. ROSS BARNDT PAGE 242 Prentice Gudgeon, elongated ex- College High man, was a valuable man at the quarterback position. His passing arm started many heaves which resulted in long gains and his generalship in directing the plays was cool and heady. Gudgeon is play- ing his second year. WILLIS HILL Ross Barndt, playing his third year at half-back, gave several exhibitions of brilliant football during this year's season. Jake was exceptionally shifty and frequently wriggled through the line for a long gain. He was also a sure man under a forward pass. FOOTBALL Kenneth Pettit- husky and speedy endf was one of the finds drafted from last year's reserves. Always in the play and always trying, Pettit took care of his wing in a style which promises much for the next two years. KENNETH PETTIT Glenn “Chub Meisenheimer, play- ing as a utility end, exhibited speed and ability in getting down the field under passes. His stocky build and aggressiveness made him a hard man to circle. GLENN MEISSENH EIMER Jess Anderson, the brick-yard blonde from Wetmore, won his letter by his speediness and ability to get down the field under passes. Red was versatile, being able to play either backfield or end. He has two years yet to play and should be a powerful candidate in 1927. JESS ANDERSON PAGE 243 FOOTBALL Lee Bourn on vi lie, half-pint size quarterback, late of Pittsburg High, was the smallest man on the Gorilla squad, tipping the beam at barely 130 pounds. He was exceedingly shifty and this, together with his football head, made him a fit understudy to Gudgeon. LEE BOURNONVILLE Lester Rice, cotton-haired youth from Iantha, Missouri, made his let- ter in his first year at college by playing utility fullback. This lad will be hard to keep from the regular fullback job next year as those who watched the Hays game will testify. LESTER RICE Another one of the more hefty members of the Gorilla squad was Floyd Scott, junior guard from Inde- pendence. His 195 pounds made their presence felt in every game this year. He will be back next year. FLOYD SCOTT PAGE 244 FOOTBALL JAMES EWING DALE FRY For sheer fight and courage none could surpass Dale Fry. sophomore guard, who fought his way from the reserves to a first team berth al- though comparatively light for a col- lege lineman. This curly-haired youth will be very valuable for the next two years. James Ewing, sophomore from Iola, came to Pittsburg after playing one year on the freshman team at the Kansas Agricultural College. He played tackle and got in every game this season. Jim is a beefy lad and his help will be a great factor in shaping next year's line. ALPHONSO BOWERS Alphonse Bowers, freshman end from Columbus, was converted from a back fie Id player to a wingman, due to a shortage of good ends. He was in every game and his rangy build and speed made him a good man both on offense and defense. PAGE 245 FOOTBALL Robert Lance, another reserve graduate, won his K at guard. Lance is a College High man and he has learned to use his 195 pounds to a good advantage on the grid-iron. He has two more years. ROBERT LANCE The season's hard luck champion was Walter White who, after appar- ently having landed a regular posi- tion at end ,broke his collar bone be- fore the season had even begun. White will be in shape for next sea- son's campaign. EVERETT NICHOLSON WALTER WHITE Everett “Chief” Nicholson came to Pittsburg from Blackwell, Oklahoma, High School, where he won the dis- tinction of being an all-state high school back. His work in college this year was of a high degree and should be a regular first string back during the next three seasons. PACE 246 FOOTBALL BROCK DRYDEN GREEN CALDWELL CROWELL COACH WALKER DENDY BUZZARD BAKER BREITHAUPT CURRY SCOTT SCHMUCKER BROSHOUS CAPTAIN WHITE MELSON GILL Squad members absent were: Hillegus, Ogden, Huntington, Armstrong, Hayden, Born, L. White. RESERVE SQUAD For the past several seasons it has been the policy of the Gorilla coaches to maintain a reserve squad which play a regular schedule of games in addition to acting as trial horses for the varsity. The value of this system is evident; four of the men from last year's reserves made “KV in 1926. Coach Walker is in charge of the reserve squad. The 1926 Season: Reserves 12 Miami Junior College 6 Reserves 12 Neodesha 0 Reserves 21 Independence 0 45 6 PAGE 247 WRESTLING With the completion of K. S. T. C.'s second season of competition on conference mats, Coach G. A. Walker can point to the enviable record of having never had a Gorilla wrestling squad, under his direction, de- feated, and for the second time in as many years Pittsburg claims the conference wrestling title. Building a new squad, with the exception of Campbell, Walker deserves much credit for the 1927 season’s success. The 1927 Season K. S. T. C 26 College of Emporia 5 K. S. T.

C., all everything it takes to make a basketball player, was awarded the honor of next year's cap- taincy, and those who have seen big “Arkie” play are sure that he is the logical man for the position, Hoff- man was also voted the most valuable member of the team for this season. Deming Shaw, fourth year forward, captained the 1927 champions. In spite of the fact that he was upon the hospital list most of the sea- son, he was of great value to the team during the closing and deciding games of the season. Shaw was injured in an early-season game with the Oklahoma Aggies and re- turned to the lineup only for the last few games. During his four years at Pittsburg, Shaw has twice been men- tioned for all-conference hon- ors. BASKETBALL JESS ANDERSON Jess Anderson, Wet more, was probably the most con- spicuous man on the Gorilla roster. While his unusual antics upon the court at times gave the spectators a hearty laugh, the scores show that “Red's” system must have been successful, for he led the squad in scor- ing and ranked high in the conference scoring. He is a sophomore. CLIFFORD BREITHAUPT Clifford Breithaupt, the tall, dark-haired eager, who came here from Eudora, gave several fine exhibitions of goal shooting when he was inserted at forward or cen- ter. He is a good basket shot and his floor work is fast and clever. He is a sophomore and will have two more sea- sons with K. S. T. C, GLENN MEISENHEIMER Every team has its “Old Faithful,” and for the Goril- las, Glenn Meisenheimer of Garnett was “it.” Never spec- tacular, always dependable, aggressive, and a great bas- ket maker in pinches, “Chub” has been a fine mate for the heavier guard, Hoffman. He is a senior. PAGE 250 BASKETBALL MAURICE WOODFORD Maurice Woodford of To- peka, in many games at utility guard, proved to be a strong man. He played a steady game on defense and was often good for a long basket. Woodford is a sopho- more, but is planning on tak- ing a teaching position in 1928. KAV GOFORTH It is rare that a highly touted high school athlete lines up to his reputation in college competition. Kay Goforth of Winfield has not only come up to all expecta- tions, but has far exceeded them by his goal shooting, floor work, and everlasting fight, at forward and center positions. TOM SCOTT Fresh from Pittsburg High, Tom Scott leaped into col- lege basketball and made a place for himself at center. Scott is fast and has much natural basketball ability. He should be a real pivot man for next year's squad. PAGE 2S1 IJASKETIJALL HERBERT CORMACK Herb Cormack, of Garden City, regular guard in 1926, played only intermittently this season. Herb enrolled for the second semester after being out of school during the fall term, and, although he at once began basketball he never attained his best form. He will be ready for next year's squad. FLOYD SMITH Flovd Smith, Bronson, was a dependable utility man, who could assume the burden of any of the veterans when needed. He is a senior. HERBERT BENSON The rise of Herbert Ben- son, Clay Center, freshman, from a rear rank rookie to the varsity squad was one of the bright spots of the sea- son. Although Benson did not make a varsity letter there is no doubt that he will be a tegular next year. BASKETBALL Maintaining the terrific pace which has been the mien of cage teams at K. $. T, C. for several seasons, the 1926-27 squad of Lanceers turned in their third consecutive titular season, although they were forced to submit to one defeat after a record of twenty-two straight wins. This season’s success, aside from being one of the Collegers great- est with regard to victories, has been marked by the development of a wealth of new material, and several games in which the veterans fal- tered were saved by timely work by new men. For the second time in three years the Gorillas lost their star pointmaker and captain early in the season through injuries. Captain Shaw was unable to play in many games after his mishap in the Oklahoma Aggie contest, but con- tinued to lend his interest and support to the team and his presence on the court in some of the closing games was very effective.

In his specialty, the high jump, Fowler has competed with the best of them and he has to his credit a high mark of six feet two inches. His graduation will take from the squad a man whose place will be hard to fill. PAGE 254- TRACK CAPTAIN RALPH TITUS 1927 Ralph Titus, of Harper, will cap- tain the 1927 squad. He is well qual- ified for the honor, having been a stellar member of the team for the past two seasons. Titus is versatile, competing in the dashes, middle dis- tance runs, broad iump and hurdles. He is also an important cog in the Gorilla relay teams. TRACK Herbert Percy” Butter- field is the lacl to whom the Gorillas look for points in the pole vault, Percy has challenged the conference record in the last season, and he is in training for an at- tempt to set a new mark in the event which he won last year at the state meet. FRANCIS SNODGRASS As clean-cut an athlete as has ever competed in the Kansas Conference is Fran- cis Snodgrass middle dis- tance runner, and holder of the state record in the half mile at 1 min. 57.5 sec. His loss by graduation will be greatly felt by coaches and fans. He was captain in 1925. FRED AXTELL Fred Axtell, mile and two- mile runner, is the type of athlete most desired by every coach. A conscientious train- er, a consistent performer, and responsive to coaching, Fred will be long remem- bered at K. S. T. C. He holds the college and state record in the two-mile at 9 minutes, 58 seconds. DALE COLE Dale Cole turned in the best performance while run- ninga half-mile lap ofla relaj' race at the Drake Relays. He was a fair man at the 880 yards and he is another of the sort who will run till they drop, win or lose. PAGE 255 TRACK MELVIN BINFORD Melvin Binford� the year's only three sport man won his last letter in track by com- peting consistently in the hurdles� the broad jump, and the weights. Binford was a fine all around track athlete and ran well in Olympic dec- athelon tryouts two years ago, being beaten out only by Hamilton, a former Olym- pic champion. HARMON SHAPCOTT Harmon Shapcott was the mighty mite of the squad, “Shap,f made a specialty of the dashes and he holds the school record of 21.8 seconds • in the 220 yard dash. He also ran the middle distances and was a member of the sprint relay team which won the Drake relays last year. BRYAN HOOPER Although Bryan Ho oner never attained his real form this season, he frequently turned races which reminded fans of his performances in 1923, the year in which he set the school mark of ten flat in the century dash. PAGE 257 TRACK EVAN TRAVIS Evan Travis, javelin throw- er, made the season's most spectacular debut when he broke into the limelight by nearly defeating the re- nowned Kuek in the spear toss. The freshman's heave of over 198 feet 8 inches shows plainly that the javelin will be well taken care of for the next three years. He holds the K. S. T. C. record. JOHN HATFIELD Another member of the pole vaulting triumvirate, John, Percy, and Conner, auburn-haired Johnny rarely faltered in his event and it was only by soaring to a new record that Butterfield was able to beat him. He also competes in the high jump and broad jump. DALE SKELTON The giant of the souad. Dale Skelton, completed his college competition with a good season's performance in the weights and high jump. Dale could always be counted on for points in his events, and the Gorillas will miss him in the discus, jave- lin, and high jump. PAGE 258 TRACK JAMES ALLEN James Allen competed in both the mile and the two mile. Jim could always be counted on to put all that he had into a race and he was never beaten until the tape was broken. FLOYD SHAW Floyd Shaw, coming from Winfield with a string of rec- ords after his name, gives much promise of being as great a college athlete as he was a prep school star. He is a sprinter and sprint relay runner. Shaw’s century duel with Lois Williams, in the state will long be remem- bered and K. S. T. C. follow- ers are counting on his vic- tory in this event this year. HERBERT CONNER Herbert Conner made his “K” in his final year of track work through his ability in the pole vault. In the state meet he had the honor of tieing with Butterfield in this event. PAGE 259 TRACK WILLIAM NICHOLSON William Nicholson celebrat- ed his arrival from Wichita University by promptly set- ting a new school record in the mile run. Nicholson was not eligible for competition, but he won his letter by his record-breaking performance. He also holds the state record in the two-mile run. He is in training this year. VICTOR WHITE The shot was well taken care of by Vic White, fresh- man husky from Oswego. Vic is showing constant improve- ment, and in the three years he has yet to compete he should rival the best in the conference. Paul Trout won his “K” in the half-mile event. Trout is a Pittsburg High man and he has entered college com- petition with the same brand of work that made him out- standing in high school ath- letic circles. PAGE 260 TRACK With many veterans back and some promising1 young material, the Gorillas presented a strong track team in 1926, and although in some of the most difficult meets of the season they were forced to compete without the services of several good men, because of injuries or tech- nicalities, they came through in a highly creditable manner. The strength of the team was well balanced. The Weedemen were represented at the Kansas and Drake relays and in each instance compared well with the fast fields competing. The season’s first meet was with the Springfield Teachers, and al- though weakened by the fact that several men were unable to partici- pate, the Gorillas won handily. The Oklahoma Aggies were next in order and were beaten, although Shaw, Fowler and Shapcott were unable to compete. In a dual meet with the Emnoria Teachers Pittsburg won by a very comfortable margin. Our team was clearly the best team in the State team for team. The State meet concluding the season for conference schools was held on Brandenburg Field and after two days of thrilling competition the Emporia Teachers were the victors, with Pittsburg taking second honors. The other colleges cut in on Pittsburg events for points whereas the outstanding performances of Kuck and Webber for Emporia who between them amassed 25 points, was the determining factor and too large a handicap to be overcome by K. S. T. 0. athletes. These two marvels are not in college this year and the 1927 State Meet will be a thriller with our boys determined to rank high. PAGE 261 W. A. A. RUBY VAN WINKLE EDITH WARMINGTON HAZEL CAVE PRESIDENT SECRETARY-TREASURER SPONSOR LUCILLE M CRACKEN DAISY BIBLE VICE-PRESIDENT CORRESPONDING SECRETARY W. A. A. IDEALS IN PURPOSE The ideals of the Women's Athletic Association of K. S. T. C. of Pittsburg are summed up in the purpose of the organization as stated by the constitution in Article I, Section 2: “The purpose of the organization shall be to promote a high phys- ical efficiency among the women of the college; to foster college spirit by developing inter-class athletics; to provide recognition for athletic ability; and to promote good citizenship.” Each new member pledges herself to further the purpose of the organization. In accordance with this she strives to gain that higher physical efficiency. She bears this in mind while working for her membership and awards which are based on three general classes, in- cluding athletics, health, and general. While athletes arc recognized and given full credit for their prowess in sports, more emphasis is based upon “play for play’s sake” and good sportsmanship. Too often the attitude of those playing in games calling for great physical effort has been to win at any cost and even to sacrifice their own moral and physical well-being. The W. A. A. member or member-to-be learns to play hard, giving all she has to the play and forgetting who lost or who won when the game is over. PAGE 262 W. A, A.

A. A. LIFE SAVING CORPS PAGE 265 W. A. A The Women’s Athletic Association started the year with organiza- tion of the sports sections, the hockey section meeting on Monday and Wednesday and the soccer section on Tuesday and Thursday from four until five o’clock. Shortly after school started all girls in school who were interested in the association were invited to a picnic. It was planned to have the picnic at the college stadium, but, due to rain, it was held in the gymna- sium. A small but peppy group of girls braved the rain and met at the gym. After the picnic lunch everybody played games. The state association met at the Kansas State Agricultural College at Manhattan, Kansas, for its 1926 convention. Miss Ruby Ann Van Winkle and Miss Hazel Horton were sent as delegates from the local association. They were accompanied by Miss Hazel Cave, association advisor. The Manhattan girls had planned an interesting program and provided very enjoyable entertainment. The association found a happy aid to its finances in the sale of apples in the girls’ locker room. We were able to dispose of about one box a week. On February 2, between halves of the Wichita University-Pittsburg basketball game, the members of the association put on a marching drill which concluded with the formation of the letters, K. S. T. C. The drill received enthusiastic applause from the spectators. Just after the beginning of the second semester, those girls who had earned sufficient points' to entitle them to membership in the associa- tion were initiated. They were guests of the association at supper in the college cafeteria. This was followed by the initation service and an hour of fun. The first award of the association is the W. A. A. insignia given for the one hundred points earned for membership. Following this the girls receive a chevron for each sports team of which they become a member. All points earned by members of teams, after they have re- ceived three chevrons, count toward higher awards. The “K” the next award, is given for seven hundred points earned under the W. A. A, point system. The medal is awarded for twelve hundred points. The point system is divided into three sections—health, general sports, and athletics. For the first three awards—insignia, “K,” and medal—thirty percent of the points must be from the section on health, twenty percent from general, and fifty percent from sports and athletics. Some members of the association wished to adopt a sweater as the highest award in place of the cup which is now given for two thousand points. However, after considerable discussion, the association vote was in favor of retaining the cup. At least two members of the associa- tion will receive cups this year. During the winter, both sports sections of W. A. A. played basket- ball. The finals in the tournament were played on the evening of March 16, the games being open to spectators. Track and indoor baseball were taken up in the spring season.

The captain of the basketball team was a Senior and the class was well represented in basketball. The track team was also made up of a great number of Senior class men. The girls' and boys' glee clubs consisted of members of our class. They sang a number of times for the high school chapel. Under the guidance of our sponsor, Mr. Pryor, the Senior Class experienced a very successful year. COLLEGE HIGH SENIOR CLASS Lemoine II. Carlyon Willie Student Council, '27 Football, 26 “Seventeen.

It's not simply a trading post, where you pay money, take away something, and end the transaction. On the contrary, our inter- est in your purchase only begins when the cash register rings the sale. From then on we con- tinue to take an interest in your needs and requirements. Our welcome is not only on the doormat. It's a part and parcel of every transaction that takes place here. The service of courtesy, efficiency, and satisfactory fulfillment of your needs isn't shown in our window, it’s not on display in the store—but you'll meet it whenever you deal with us. We're not sensitive. We l;ke our customers to talk turkey to us. If there's anything wrong with our merchandise or our methods, then we want to know it. Of course, we're only human, and we like to hear good things, too. So we won't mind if you’ll express your pleasure some- times. We're in this business because we like it; because we know it better than we know anything else. We keep in touch with the style centers and pride ourselves in knowing what's what in men's wear. Men who want quality and men who know style will find their tastes beautifully interpreted in the merchandise we sell.

PAGE 300 1901 CASH DRUG CO. 620 North Broadway Phone 30 1927 THE SCOTT-LANYON CASH DRUG CO, (INCORPORATED) More than 27 years ago H. A. Scott conceived the idea that a drug store could be run on a cash basis and be a success Enlisting the help of M. S. Lanyon, they were enabled to place their idea into practice, opening what was then known as the Cash Drug Co. This company is one of the very few, if not the only, strictly cash drug companies in the state of Kansas. They are firm believers that there are only two kinds of cus- tomers—acquaintances and business acquaintances. These two classes of people are interested alone in Service and Quality Merchandise—at Reasonable Prices. This plan meeting with encouraging results, they, from time to time, added other stores, known as the S, L. Drug Co.? College Inn Drug and Book Co., and Scott-Lanyon Drug Co., Hutchinson, Kan. After a 27-year trial of their “cash basis plan” they are confident that it is a most practical and satisfactory system 1 I ♦ 1 SCOTT-LANYON S. L. DRUG CO. 1 1 DRUG CO.
