I don't ask for any place in the lineup, play me where you need me. I only ask for the stuff to give ou I00 'Ma of my best. If all of the hard I . drives come my way, I thank , ii' you for the compliment. Help s y ' e- I l I me to remember that you 'A won't let anything come that ou and I together cannot handle. Help me to take the bad breaks as a part of the game, and help me to be thankful of them. And God help me always to play on the square no matter who the other players are or what they do, help me to come clean. Help me to see that often the best part of the game is hel ing other guys. Hel me to be a regular feliow with the other players. Finally God if fate seems to uppercut me with both hands and I'm laid upon the shelf in sickness or old age, help me to take that as a part of the game also. Help me not to whimper or murmur that the game was a frame up or that I had a raw deal. When in the dusk I get the final bell, I want no untrue complementary stories. l'd onl like to know that you feellI've been a good guy and given the game my best. We pause today to pay tribute to one about whom this prayer was offered, one who was a member of our class and we feel fortunate that we were able to have him with us for awhile.

Aa ow: Leadena, 'Jheq meuit ow: Qnatitude and Respect To our administration and school board, goes the tremendous responsibility of making and putting into effect the policies which our school follows. Mr. Donald R. Lidikay is our Superintendent of Schools. Mr. Lidikay 's activities are many and varied, but the three most important duties for which he is greatly responsible are formulating the budget, recommending and assigning all school personnel and faculty members, and developing the school curriculum. Principal of Senior High is Mr. Charles Barnes and prin- cipal of Senior High is Mr. Charles Barnes and principal of Liberty High is Mr. Jess V. Cooper. These men have the responsibility of supervising, instructing, and improving affairs and situations in their respective schools as economically and efficiently as possible. Our principals have a great variety of duties, including making out daily schedules, enrolling students and balancing classes, supervising teachers, planning assemblies, counselling students and many more. The policy making group is the Board of Education. The president of the school board is Ted Browning, vice -president, Frank Smith, treasurer, Loren Moore, and the clerk, Lou Ella Besthorn. Other members 'Q of the board are Homer Davault, F. A, Thorpe, John Schrepel, and Neva Sanders. The members of this board, elected by 1 Z r the people and serving terms of four years, 4 if fix 3 ,f t. A f, give freely of their time and talents working with the superintendent to form the policy making group, which the ad- ministration puts into effect. Charles Barnes, Don Lidikay, and Jess Cooper. ,.,,,n Teaching our future homemekers to cook and sew are Mrs. Juanelle Hansard and Miss Kathleen Gee. In foods and clothing 1, taught by Mrs. Hansard, the girls learn the basic principals of both arts by 1' 1 . cooking simple meals and 'j I X J making a skirt, blouse, or dress. Foods and clothing 11, taught by Miss Gee, are continuations of these courses, but with more difficult projects. Miss Gee also teaches home arts, a course in which colors, balance and harmony in home furnishings are studied. The physical science teachers are Dean Gamble and Fred Lighter. Biology, taught by Mr. Lighter, is a study made of plants and animals and how they are associated to man. Mr. Gamble is the physics and chemistry teacher. Students put to use in the lab the theories they learn in class. In both of these courses, an all-around picture of the field is given, including knowledge which will be useful to our future doctors, engineers, and scientists, and also information which is helpful to those who do not plan to go to college. -I N Juanelle Hansard, Fred Lighter, Kathleen Gee, and Dean Gamble 'Jhe Educatoua who Give ua the Liteuatune of Knowledge Teaching students about the world of the past .nd preparing them to be useful citizens in the world of the future is the respon- sibility of the social science department. The study of social science begins in the ninth grade under the direction of Paul Dell- inger, who teaches citizenship. A great deal of emphasis is placed upon vocations, helping the students discover what vocation they might be interested in, so that they may plan their high school courses accordingly. Aptitude, interest, and achievement tests are given to help determine these courses. An elective social science course, in the sophomore year, is world history, which includes ancient, medieval, and modern history, taught by Miss lone Morford, A weekly study of current events is also made by this class. American History, offered during the junior year, is taught by Bill Scofield. The history of our country from the Reformation to the present time is included in Mr. Scofie1d's classes. Filmstrips on various periods in American history are used. American Govenrment is. taught in the senior year. This class studies international relations, citizenship, federal government, and Kansas History. The social sciences are those fields of study and research which are concerned with the determination of human conduct. This department is of utmost importance for future generations as the studies serve as the intermediary Ralph Blozom, Ione Morford, and Paul Dellinget between our cultural her- itage of skills. know- g ledges, and understand- ings to the growing boys and girls who must maintain that heritage.

The band, directed by Norman Radke, provides color and spirit at football games and parades, such as the The aim of this de- partment isto develop in students an appreciation of the fine arts and a desire to participate in them, enriching their lives with the beauty of music and art. The vocal music instructor is Floyd Carpenter. He leads the boy's and girl's glee clubs, A Capella choir, and various ensembles. Besides learning to read music and get good tone production, they concentrate on getting a large number of songs ready for performance State Fair parade. Pep band, a group selected from the regular band, helps build enthusiasm at basketball games, pep assemblies and parades, and pro- vides music for our crowning ceremonies. Both the S4 Jean Bailey and Virginia Semi band and vocal groups give special concerts and participate in the district music festival. Joe Giewartowski is the leader of the orchestra. They also give concerts and play at special functions, and take part in the western Kansas Orchestra Festival, Miss Esther Workman teaches Art 1 and 11. The fundamentals of drawing, painting, and crafts are studied, with the students working on many projects. In the Spring there is an art exhibit in which at least one piece of art from each student is shown. Equipped to Puovide Vanied Jnatfruction Helping students to learn to use the library efficiently are our two librarians, Virginia Senti at Liberty and Jean Bailey at the Ir. College. At Liberty, student helpers aid in the operation of the library, and in senior high, a credit class in library science is offered to juniors and seniors. Whether it is some technical information you need, or you are looking for a good mystery story, you can be sure to find just what you want in our well-organized libraries with the help of our efficient librarians and student helpers. In the English department we learn the fundamentals of an att we will use the rest of our lives--the art of speaking and writing. Helping us to develop these skills are our English teachers. The ninth grade teacher is Miss Lois Hogue. Good reading habits and wide reading interests are emphasized in her class. Milton Senti is the sophomore English teacher. A broad variety of literature is emphasized in his class, including modem stories and poetry, and such classics as Julius Caesar and Idvls of the King, Duane Shuielberger teaches English 111 and journalism. A big pro- ject in English 111 is the pro- duction of a research theme by each student. The journalism class writes our school paper, the Mirror, Mrs. Christine Lunt and Everett Brown are the speech teachers. Besides learn- ing to deliver various types of speeches, students in this class also study drama and partici- pate in speech contests and festivals. As sixty per cent of the English words are derived from Latin. Mrs. Marie Coulter's Latin 11 class may also be considered a part of this department. Here a study is made of the history of Rome as parts of gag-sag are translated. Everett Brown. Milton Senti. Lois Hogue, and Duane Shufelberger. Sf-f Our school boasts a well-rounded math- ematics department, which offers five math courses. These courses range from a general one, useful in everyday living, to more difficult ones for those who plan to major in a scientific field. V.K, Coffman teaches general math, which is a review of arithmetic with a brief introduction to algebra and geometry. Mr. Coffman and Walter Blake both teach algebra, an important course basic for those who intend to study higher mathematics. Miss Helen Forbes and Mrs. Keith Fish are the plane geometry teachers. In this class, students learn to use established premises to develop new proof. Geometry is useful not only as a mathematical course, but it also teaches you to think logically. Dwight B. Hardy teaches the more advanced math courses, advanced algebra and solid geometry. Advanced algebra continues the study of first year algebra, and solid geometry is the geometry including areas and volumes of three dimen- sional solids. Helen Forbes, Walter Blake, Dwight Hardy, and V. K. Coffman .Jn a Diveuae and 'Pnactical cu'lfliCulum Preparing our secretaries and businessmen of tomorrow are our commerce teachers, Miss Edith McMullen, Tom Anderson, and LeRoy Uhler. Miss McMullen teaches shorthand, in which the students learn to take dictation by writing symbols in place of words. Mr. Anderson teaches bookkeeping, business law, where a general knowledge of law in connection with business is gained, and salesmanship, in which convincing sales talks are given about everything from toothbrushes to airplanes. Mr. Uhler teaches typing 1 and ll, this being the first year typing 11 has been offered.

Advanced woodwork, in which each boy selects one big project for the year, drawing, and ninth grade woodwork and drawin are taught by B. F. Griffisi. Driver Education is taught by Lee H. Shepard. After satisfactory completion of this course, students are issued a State Drivers License, Our athletic program is useful not only in develop- ,-! ing bodies physically and mentally, but participation in sports teaches leadership, responsibility, and team- work, a knowledge of which leads to a richer and more successful life. As people and schools of other towns look upon our athletic pro- gram as being symbolic of the type of school we have, we are happy that ours is one of which to be proud. Few people realize how much time a boy who par- LeRoy Uhler, Bill Scofield, Lee Shepard, and Jack Wallace ticipates in sports devotes to them. For instance, a football player may spend fifteen to twenty hours per week practicing and actual game time. There are qualifications to be met before a boy can participate in sports, such as satisfactory grades in at least three -fourths of his school work. The season for the first sport of the year, football, runs from the first of September until Thanksgiving. Nine games were scheduled this year with other members of the West Central Kansas League. To win a football letter, a boy must play at least sixteen quarters or be a senior who has played three years. The football coach is Jack P. Wallace and assistant coach is LeRoy Uhler. The basketball coach is Bill Scofield. Basketball season runs from November to March, with sixteen regular games being played. District and regional tournaments are also participated ln. To win a basketball letter, a boy must have acceptable grades and the recommendation of the coach. The Spring sports are track, golf and tennis. L, O, Dickerson is track coach, Everett Brown, golf coach, and Walter Blake coaches tennis. Miss Shirley Smith coaches girl's tennis. Those participating in these sports have matches and relays with other schools, and have to meet definite qualifications to win a letter. The junior high athletic program is similar to senior high's, although fewer games are played. Junior high track and football coach is Lee Shepard and basketball coach is Walter Blake. Cultuned Advantages Gbbeu an Abundant School Life Shirley Smith and Edward Wade Directing the physical education program of our school is the job of Miss Shirley Smith and Edward Wade. As one year su- 1 of physical education is required for graduation, every student comes in contact with this department. Miss Smith teaches seventh, eighth and ninth grade girl's physical education. Such sports as soccer, speedball, softball, basketball, volleyball, recreational sports such as table tennis and shuffleboard, and folk, square, and social dancing are taught. An emphasis is placed on health and posture. Mr. Wade is director of boy's physical education, and is also director of the intramural pro- gram, in which seventh and eighth graders schedule football and basketball games and track meets among themselves. Football, track, volleyball, basketball, and minor sports are taught. Besides better muscle co-ordination and healthier bodies, other important things gained from physical education are sportsmanship and learning to get along with others. It is here that Pratt High's future track, basketball, and football teams are developed, Providing a good background for extensive training in high school English is the job of our junior high English teachers. Mrs. Opal In this class they attempt to improve their oral and written communication and empha- size learning to use the library efficiently. Their literature, which deals chiefly with g early teenagers and their problems, helps s,, seventh graders to better adjust themselves to their surroundings. Miss DeLoryse Hough and Miss Lois Hogue teach seventh grade reading classes, where an improvement in reading habits is made through increased speed, comprehension, and vocabulary, Miss Hough and Mrs. Christine Lunt are the eighth grade English teachers. In the eighth grade, poetry, short stories, paragraph writing, grammar, punctuation, outlining spelling and speeches are studied in detail. Mrs. Lunt is also the psychology and debate teacher, and Miss Hough teaches Spanish. JA his Christine Lunt, Marie Coulter, and Opal Hemphill 144 ouft 'Jacultq Pftomotea ow: Ambitious and Skilla Giving junior high students a solid background for their future high school courses are the junior high teachers at Liberty.

Each of these bodies are made up of representatives from each class and the Student Council inclu es rep- resentatives from each of the various clubs. Both organizations teach self-government, as they are able to set up their own laws as well as accept res nsibility. Ally student may have his problem brought up in one of these bodies. It is then discussed in an orderly fashion ango worked out with the faculty. David Woolfolk was elected President of the Student Council, Susan Lake, vice -president and Kathleen Huffman, secretary -treasurer. Getting an activity ticket for the basketball games was the bi gest accomplishment for the 1956-1957 Student Council, but they continued working on the plan for a ticket to cover all scghool activities. They also sponsored a New Year's Eve dance this ear. All stuxents in Liberty High were organized by the Student Senate and sent a CARE package overseas with enough food to take care of 54 families for one mon . The Senate had fire escape signs made so one cou d be placed in each of the rooms at Liberty.

Officers responsible for leading the club's activities are Carol Howerton, president, Tonya Kurt, vice-president, Donna Bodwell, secretary, and Sara Farmer, treasurer. The Y-Teens have many interesting programs based on social, educational and religious problems, occasionally having guest speakers.

These activities have included adopt- ing a neecly family and presenting them with a basket of food, preparing a CARE package, and participating in the school's religious programs. Serving their club in the best possible way is the duty of the officers and cabinet members of the Senior Y-Teen Club. The cab- inet consists of the four main officers plus the Q o' chairman of each of the seven committees V which are essential for smooth co-ordination within this religious organization. The cab- inet, as the policy making group, meets every other week in an executive session to make plans for the club. These meetings were under the supervision of the sponsors.

'Jutune Cjneenbaclea Cjain Expeuience Compiling II3 points to their opponents 3I points for the season, the Pratt Junior High foot- ball team rolled to its second undefeated team in four seasons. Head mentor Lee Shepard, molded this impressive piece of football machinery from a hard working group of boys. The team of fresh- men and eighth graders were willing to work for the distinction of winning five straight games. They were eager to learn new plays and perfect them. The squad strove for excellence on defense and offense fundamentals. The Junior High's combined efforts of skill and brawn paid off when in their first game with Ellinwood the Tadpoles came home with a 27 to I2 win. Dodge City was next on the schedule and Pratt emerged the victor I3 to 6. Playing Larned Junior High in the traditional game the Frosh came out on top I9 to 0. Kingman was the next victim and fell I4 to 7. The season's final was a 40 to 6 rout of Russell. Conquering these strong foes makes the football future look bright for Pratt with 25 lettermen from this undefeated squad. One of the co-captains for this re- markable iunior high team was Jim Kim- berly who was greatly appreciated by coach and team for his hard running and outstanding blocking at fullback position. Jim was the teams' leading ground gainer with an eight and two tenths yards average in 47 carries. He accounted for I6 points during the season. Co-captain Gerald Woods showed deft ball handling, and good decep- tion and strategy while performing the quarterback duties for this years team. His defensive play was out- standing. Gerald amassed 48 points throughout the season and had aseven and five tenths yard average in 50 tries. x Jntnamunal Competition Encounaqea Entert-achool Pauticipation in Sponta , , A X ,V ma, a 2 sl r I N V A , ,' 4 ,. 1452 A '-- W 1 ' fs 4 FRONT ROW: Gary Toland, Dick Swindler, Arthur Kinney, Eldon Webb, McKown, Robert Phinney, Mac James, John Hattabaugh.

Wade, is designed to teach fundamentals that football can be fun and not all work. Even at this early age Mr. Wade and his helpers, which are high school boys, try to instill in their young charges that to be a good football player one must deny himself certain other things. They seek to give the boys desire to want to become a football player. , Mr. Wade is always on the watch for and encourages those young athletes who show that they want to play football.

The 7th and 8th grade boys devote most of their track time to the decathlon which was developed last year with the aim of training more boys in different track events. In the decathlon rogram each boy is required to take part in a certain number of events, regardless weather it is he's best or poor- est,' and the total number of points earned in all events according to the record made determine the eventual winners. As a result of this program boys become interested in different events than they would otherwise. .gntnamunal 'Jnacle and Golf Pnovide Recneation and Competition Ten boys reported to Coach Everett W. Brown for Pratt High School's 'I957 golf squad. Although this was the largest number which reported in recent years, the team as a whole was short on exper- sence. The team competed in a triangular meet at Larned, a quadrangular meet at Pratt, a dual meet at Great Bend, the Eldorado invitational, the Hutchinson invitational, the league, and the state meet. The two-man team won second in the league and tied for first in the state sand green tournament. They were defeated in a sudden death playoff, however.

The track team chose a 1956 Track Queen, but this was the first homecoming for the track squad. Our championship team nominated Kay Moyer, Elaine Reschke, seniors, Sara Ayres, junior, Bette Mills, sophomore, and chose Kathleen Huffman, senior as their queen. The crowning ceremony took place at 7:15, April 16, on Zerger Field. The candi- dates were escorted on to the field by Dick Williams, Ross Moon, David Woolfolk, David Tritt and James Pilkington, all seniors. The Queen and her attendants reigned over the Junior College Relays and presented the trophies and medals to the receiving teams.

Their uniforms were white pleated skirts and white sweaters with a green emblem on the back of the sweater. Our cheer- leaders served both the A and B teams through the 1956-1957 school year in basketball and football. They conducted all the pep assemblies and the rallies during the year. The cheerleaders were chosen by the student body and their loyal support was greatly appreciated by the teams and the students. 70 ,Qfffvf T' +201 f X95-SAIQQQQ 'Niki . I 'Q if X Mignk - x3?vL R i ., off S.,! ' flV,, -ff 'S ' and three iuniors were selected as honor students representing Pratt High School this year. The selection of these top students is one of the tradition of the FROG LOG. Outstanding students articipate in school activities as a part of their training for world citizenship. Their social and intelljectual facilities are enlarged while working as a part of the student body in athletics, dramatics, debate, music or publications. Candidates for the selection of this group must be nominated by at least two faculty members, have a grade average of a B or more and been a member of the student body the last two years. The top twelve were selected on the basis of the total points accumulated by the extent of their participation in different phases of school life. Susan Lake believes participation in extra school activities is one's greatest contribution while at the same time making good grades helps form better habits. Earlene David thinks good grades are essential for better future opportunities and extra curricular activities are important in teaching responsibility and getting along with others. Jolene McCune stresses loyalty to all school functions. She believes good grades are important personal achievements. Kay Moyer also believes loyalty should be the greatest contribution of the student, and at the same time, good grades play an important part in a person's future. Sara Farmer says co-operation and respect to those with whom you are associated are very important and she thinks grades are important for the future. Tonya Kurt believes the students duty is to live up to the standards established by the school and good grades are important factors in the individual development. Lee Ayres says good grades suggest dependability and future betterment. Do one's best in what ever they do is the most valuable contribution one can make. Larry Blake believes good grades show a willingness to work and sacrifice and one's best contribution David Woolfolk believes good grades serve as a vote of confidence. Being a good example after graduation is a worth while contribution. Dick Skaggs thinks good grades signifies the actual worth of a person, and that one's greatest con- tribution is conforming to the qualifications of a good citizen. Bob Kaff says good grades indicate the students outlook of life and that loyalty in all school activ- ities is essentia . Shallow lives are not for living, Swim where the rough waves surge and leap Life is not taking, life is giving, Plunge where the currents are strong and deep. . it Claaa P,, Papa Wad a Pneachenu Papa Was a Preacher presented splendldly by the Senior Class as its annual play on April 28. Mr. L.W. Dashen directed the fifteen members in the cast. The lay is centered around a preacherls family in a small town. A lonely spinster with spare time ' takes pictures of the preacher's children, letting off steam in such activities as roller skating and dancing. She threatens to take these pictures with greatly exaggerated stories to the bishop. One of the children, however, takes a compromising pic- ture of the spinster to prove that there are two sides to a story. The play was well received b a lar e audience and the Y 9 cast had a wonderful time pre- senting it.

F RL 1 k ' 4'na'p-- Seventh and eighth graders interested in being future members of the High School Band have an excellent opportunity for elementary training b taking part in Junior High Band, under the direc- tion of Norman Radke. Approximately seventy band members, which are divided into four separate classes, combine for the Spring concert which they give every year. Outaide Hctiuitq in flunion -High The annual All-School Play, No More Homework , was presented on March 21 in the Liberty High auditorium. A fine performance was given by the eighteen members of the cast, reflecting the splendid directing of Miss De Loryse Hough. Also contributing to the huge success were many stu- dents working backstage on directing, make-u , and lighting. The play depicted a school which was run by students for one day. The students were given this burden when the principal was absent and both the vice-principal and secretary ill. Owing to their inexperience in such matters, the school was in chaos before the day was through. The cast thoroughly enjoyed presenting this play and the audience was greatly pleased. in X yd The Junior High Band is made up of members of the 7th and 8th grades and some beginning Freshmen. Training received in this group is valuable experience for the Senior High Band. Whinl 015 'Jun and '3nolic A heavenly time was had by the sophomores in their City of Angels , the theme of the sophomore prom. A carousel of blue and white centered the floor with blue and white streamers leading to the side of the room. Large angels adorned the walls. The tables were centered with blue dancing couples. Jonny France, queen, and Leland Grimes, king, were crowned before the program and took their place on the carousel. They were attended by Bette Mills and Richard Schneider. From the carousel the royalty watched the program, which included a Heavenly Girl's Trio, a reading, a pantomine of the Lennon Sisters, and a modern dance exhibition. The Busy Bees Band, composed of sophomores, played a recessional and the king and queen and attendants ascended from the throne. Following the program, dancing to Hi-Fi records was enioyed, providing a truly heavenly memory of one of the sophomore's first Big evenings. qunicn Claaa Paeaenta 7alze Cane O5 my Little Gini A popular Broadway play and motion picture, Take Care of My Little Girl, was the annual Junior Class Play pre- sented at the Pratt Junior College Auditorium. The play, directed by Everett Brown and with T4 members in the cast, was well received by a large audience. The play centered around The Queens, sorority sisters on a college campus. Liz Ericson, the main character, is torn between two influences--that of her mother who was a Queen and expects her daughter to be one, and Liz's best friends who decide to stay in a dormitory and urges Liz to do the same. Finally, after nearly losing her best friends, after overdrawing her bank account, and after incurring her mother's wrath, Liz decides in favor of the dorm. In addition to the cast which worked hard, had a great time presenting the play, and turned in a stellar performance, many other students helped in the production of the play by working backstage on lighting, makeup, and other jobs vital to the pro- duction ofa play. i Til i ff?-ff 11-P A Kay Moyer, Carol Woods, Doris Miller, Duane Shufelberger, Dick Skaggs, Betty Owens, Caral Gates, Judith Black, Kathleen Huffman, Anna Rosenbaum, Jeanie Blackburn, Doug Farmer. The main interest of the journalism class, taught by Duane Shufelberger, was to ublish our school paper, The Pratt Mirror, every two weeks. This was a huge proiect which required all class time of the twelve students plus many hours outside preparation. Students handled such jobs as page layout, report- ing, circulation, advertising contracts, writing stories, and other things too numerable to mention. The journalism class was especially proud of their six and eight page edition of the Mirror. Expneaainq Opiniona in Wand and Wnitinq Mrs. Christine Lunt was the teacher of the first debate class in Pratt High's history and the coach of the debate team. The question debated this year was, Resolved, that the Federal government should sustain the price of maior agricultural' products at not less than 90? parity. Although handicapped by lack of experience, the debate team made very good showing in every meet. Meets which the team attended were: Great Bend, Ellinwood, Derby, a novice meet at Ulysses, and the district tournament at Haven. Since five of the six members of the debate team are underclassmen, an extremely successful season is expected next year.

A Shinto 'Jemple at Banquet 'Jime The highlight of the social activities this year and a very memorable night for the Juniors and Seniors was the Junior-Senior Banquet. The theme, Shangri-La, was quite exotic, taking on the atmosphere of a Shinto Temple. Watching over the affair from the center of the room was a large Budha, painted gold with a green spotlight on it. Hanging from the ceiling were Chinese lanterns, and an open fan effect on the walls was created with black crepe paper. Fans, flowers, and Chinese figurines decorated the tables A delicious meal was served by So homore servers, dressed in Chinese costumes. A very entertaining pro- gram was given, consisting of readings, solos, a boy's quartette, and a skit, with an oriental feeling at aa t running throughout the pro- gram. An added attraction was Virginia Popp from Great Bend, who gave her imita- tion of Elvis Presley. Music for dancing during the eve- ning was furnished by the Esquires from Liberal. The many weeks of work spent in plan- ning and pre aration by the Junior Cljass in hopes that derful evening for the Seniors was greatly appreciated. Shangri-La, meaning land of eternal happiness, was a well-chosen name for the ban- quet, as it will give us happy memories of a really big eve- ning for many years to come.
