CLASS HISTORY The class of '16 started as Freshmen on this long educational voyage in the year of '11 with a crew numbering about forty-five. We chose as our faculty captains BLANCHE MCCRAE and PAUL PAIR. Being reen as all Freshies are, We had to endure many ocean storms and a few days ofgsea-sickness. But we soon found our place in the regular routine of a seaman's life. The first course of our voyage was made joyful by picnics and parties. Especially the Hallowe'en party at Mary Blake's and our last day school picnic at Camp Carlisle, which all hands enjoyed immensely. The next fall vve began the second lap of our voyage. A few members of our crew had drifted, and others perhaps finding the voyage too difficult, had jumped overboard. But the remaining sailors were brilliant and pepcpy. We tried our luck in football, basketball, debate, music, an track, but were not discouraged when defeated by our upper-classmen. We were proud of the fact that we helped the Seniors win the last class fight from the Freshmen and Juniors. Our pennant of purple and white was hung upon the wall of the beloved old state room, alongside the many others. In the fall of '14 we again took up the voyage as Juniors. OLIVER SELFRIDGE was elected as first mate of the crew and MARJORIE McG1LL and DOUGLASS HELBIG as faculty officers. Many of our Marines made letters on the football team, and helped to buy the team many glorious victories. They also made good at basketball, our team winning the lnterclass Championship. 0144631110-ia - cs 9 qs fa - -.-.----.-.ofiiqtgmo Q l .... - his Val UU! H -eff Many of the debaters were members of thejunior crew. Both giving and winning part of the victories but taking defeat as good sports. At the County Meet in the Spring we had winning representatives, in track, tennis, and music. Also in the Meet at Pratt, Dodge City and Emporia, we helped carry off the honors. Along toward the end of the years voyage we began work on our junior play, Golden Days, under the directing hands of Misses Hanson and Haines. The play was given with great success, bringing us many compliments. But best of all, putting into our treasury plenty of money to give the Seniors a banquet of splendor. About this time in the long voyage a few members decided to steer their ship a little faster and join the Senior crew. To our loss but their gain, four of our most brilliant mates hastened their voyage and took the leading parts in the Senior Com- mencement Exercises. The last big event of ourjunior year was the junior-Senior Banquet. lt was one of pomp and grandeur. Deeply appreciated by our upper classmen and greatly en- joyed by our own crew. . The last day of the third lap was spent at Shady Grove Park. After which we seperated, until the voyage started again the next September. September has long come and at last we are Seniors . Our crew has dwindled down to thirty-one. While our ship was adoat last summer, she picked up four beach combers, who must have been stranded for only a short tin.e. Julius lmmer, a statesman, Gilbert Sayler, a musician, Albert Kay, an athlete: and Glen Pinkston, a practicing preacher. We are indeed glad of their enlistment, as they possess great abilities. OLIVER SELFRIDGE was re-elected as first mate. Miss CARLSON, Mr. HOLTFRERICH and Mr. TRILLINGHAM were chosen as faculty commanders. We had eight letter men on the football team, and Clifford Kendall, the Captain, was a Senior. After the Kingman football game, the cooks of our crew, served the visiting team, the home team, coaches and sponsors, a get-acquainted banquet. Many lasting friendships were made between the members of the two schools. On Thanksgiving Day, after our team had held Stafford to a zo-o game, the Sen- ior Girls again served mess for the boys, coach, sponsors and Senior squad. The evening was greatly enjoyed, both the eats and the entertainment. On the basketball team we had four letter men, with a member of our crew, Jess Bright, as Captain. In girls basketball we had a fine representation. Also in debate and dramatics, we have taken an active part. Fred Renick, one of our wise seamen, was elected as Student Body President. Two of our many successful achievements have been the publishing of the Whirl- wind , our school paper and the Annual, the first published since 1910. What Happened To Jones, our Senior Play was a great success, even though we drifted into many icebergs while practicing. But owing to the careful steering of Misses Carlson and Barber, it did not meet destruction. It won't be long now , Commencement Harbor, can be seen in the distance. We have chosen as our Commencement speaker, Prof. F. B. Ross, of Emporia, and for Baccalaureate speaker, Dr. J. T. Scott, of our own city. But in the midst of all these joys there will be feeling of sadness. Our crew will be separated, as far as the east is from the west. Some will start on the longer and harder voyage of higher learn- ing, while others have anchored, to take their part in the joys and sorrows of a life worth living.lt is our pride that we are able to graduate a large crew of able seamen. So with a feeling only known to those who have made the voyage, but with high hopes for the future, we must say farewell to our beloved S.J.l-l.S. MARVEL PEARL ACKLEY, 'z6.

OHICQWO - G1 Q Q, 63 - omgivpmo K I Xe h ,,Ul1iY9l1UiY1 of Senior Class Prophecy Dozing peacefully in the seclusion of my study I was ofa sudden rudely awaken'd by the materialization of a dense cloud of white vapor. As the vapor slowly spiraled into nothingness I became aware of a queer appari- tion standing before me. I am the Imp Prognosticatoru exuded the spectre abruptly, uand soon you are to see each of your clas -lates in their future life position. I sat motionless, mildly astonished as the spectre, with a series of weird gyrations and crude chants transformed the open fire place before me into a hugh silver sheet, the sheet flickered and a picture of almost spiritual coolescence appeared before me. It was a peaceful farm scene in Central Kansas. Sitting serenely on the wide, comfortable veranda was an old couple whom I immediately recognized as Gilbert Sayler and Edna Breen Sayler. Life is just one continual honeymoon for them intonated the Imp Prognosticator. Tho of course things were rather hard until little junior grew large enough to help with the chores. I turned from the Imp, thinking to get another glimpse of the peaceful picture but the scene had already changed. A huge freight train thundered to a grinding stop, and two figures disengaged themselves from the brake rods. They were dressed in tramp habiliaments and as they turned towards me I recognized Walter Rickert and Clifford Kendall, and some- how I wasn't even mildly surprised at their predicament. The Imp muttered under his breath and the picture faded to be replaced by a huge ocean liner. Loitering on the fore deck were a group of people and I discerned the familiar faces of Albert Kay, jess Bright and Noble Roberts. I turned to the Imp and he elucidated, They are returning from the Olympic games where they com- peted with honorg most noted amongst them Albert Kay, who won the International Gum Chewing Contest. A fine looking lady walked up and joined the group. She took Mr. Robert's arm possessively and I knew that it was Mildred Shepherd, even tho I could not distinguish her features beneath the heavy veil she wore. I was destined to meet yet another familiar figure aboard the liner. The scene flashed to a finely furnished stateroom and therein, seated at a table was Lores Wimmer, the same quiet Lores. I was informed by the Imp that she was startling the world with het operatic singing. Slowly the picture was replaced by one of a large official looking room, which I recognized as the room wherein the President of the U. S. held his cabinet meetings. Sitting around the ponderous highly polished table, ranged the cabinet and im- mediately I perceived two familiar faces, those ofjulius Immer and Glenn Pinkston. olliQlHo Y Q c? ,S - ofiiibiiio Eff li 3 h f' x Q iuhinlwin a s Slowly my gaze shifted from one member of the cabinet to another and finally rested upon that great personage, the president. I was startled for in that grave executive of our great nation, I recognized my old classmate, Oliver Selfridge. Before my wonder at this picture had vanished, I found myself confronted by a new scene. A magnificent orchestra was rendering, I suppose, sweet music. On the head of the huge base drum I read Water's Symphony Blues Extinguishers. Sure enough there was Ralph Waters at the head beating a perfect time with his baton, the same old Ralph except for his Vandyke Beard and long flowing hair. Suddenly the screen became blank, and I turned to the Imp interrogatively. If you are a dis-believer in female legislation prepare yourself for a sad scene, he enlightened me. I turned back to the screen. The silver expanse was supplanted by the picture of a beautiful building which I recognized as the State Capitol at Topeka. A door swung open and a very stern visaged woman stepped on the portico. That is Mary Benford, New Governor of the State, supplied the Imp, and hers is a rule of iron. This news did not greatly surprise me, as I knew something of Miss Benford's executive ability. Immediately the scene was replaced by a inangificent stage on which were a group of Ballet dancers in rehearsal, two of these I recognized as old schoolmates, Tessie Fisher and Alice Wright, and I knew that they had achieved their highest ambition. The picture was changing. Slowly a great cloud of dust evolved upon the screen and I perceived that I was in the midst of a thrilling auto race. Suddenly a poweful looking car shot across the line and the checkered flag fluttered down, the car skidded to a halt and two figures pulled their goggles and caps from their heads, revealing the features of George Bothum and Everett Damon, two of my old team-mates in Gridiron days. Both of them still retained their old love for thrills and were satisfying it on the speed-way. .

Junior Class History The junior Class has taken a prominent part in all the school activities during their three years of high school life. ln the Freshman year, El,lan'lay Garvin was president of the class, Edward Ben- ford held that office in the Sophomore year, and Wiley Mock is president this year. During the year, thejuniors furnished the two school yell leaders, Edward Ben- ford and Ellamay Garvin who was also Captain of the Girl's Basketball Team. Next year's football captain, will be ajunior, none other than Raymond Mawhirter. There were a number of this class on the football squad,and four of the girls basket- ball team were Junior girls. Gretchen O'Connor has been on the girl's quarterte and David Cain on the boys' quartette. Besides this, the class of '17 has furnished its full quota in the orchestra, both glee clubs, forensics, dramatics, chorus and Stu- dent Council. - And the Junior Orchestra, better known as the Hotsy Totsy Six, always were willing to play for the basketball games, plays, and pep meetings. The Hotsy Totsy group was a sure cure for the blues. The two big events of the present year, of course, are thejunior Play, Adam and Eva featuring Donna DeVore, David Cain and Wiley Mock, and then the big Jun- ior-Senior banquet, which was the peppiest ever held in St. John high school history.

The Whirlwind, a name suggested by Elva Stalker won the approval of the Journalism Class and also won Miss Stalker the dollar bill. The Whirlwind has been published every month by the Journalism class and sponsored by C. C. Trillingham. lt has been a wonderful success in every way, each issue being better than the preceding one. The first issue was sent to all students and illLllIlUl without charge. The cam- paign was then started. A prize was given to the class that bought the most sub- scriptions. The Seniors were the prize winners! The campaign ended with a list of one hundred and sixty subscribers. The first two issues were published by the class in general, no one acting as editor. Oliver Selfridge was elected as buisness manager for the term. For the third or November issue and for each issue following the class elected an editor, who appointed his assistant and staff.

The bi-monthly meetings have been exceedingly successful. Among the speakers have been some of the prominent business and professional men of the community. The purpose of the I-li Y is to develop boys into Well rounded men. ONIQIHO v Q , OKHGDHN 6155110 h lf1iY'9lLU'iI'l a w W ,L L.- Affirmative: OLIVER SELPRIDGE, M1I.DRED SNELL, O. O.

They manifested the outstanding qualities that are necessary for go od citizenship. It is encouraging to note that a good percentage of our national leaders were members of the forensic clubs while in school. The fact that a young man or young woman aspires to such work while in school is the best indication that they have the qualities of leadership. omCowO'--'-- ' Cs' Q Q, 9 - omgomo h hiwlwin a t X X 1 GIRLS QUARTETTE LORES XVIIVIMER, jim! mpnma, GRETCHEN OYCONNER, recom!

Besides their regular numbers, they have given a short operetta, and the music room is a popular place with these girls. Their best work of the year is their contest appearances, at Pratt, at Dodge City and at our own Stafford County Meet. The girls were victorious in 1915, and they are better than ever now. Among them are several good vocal soloists. HKCQWO - GJ Cy 'S U omgmo BOYS QUARTETTE . GILBERT SAYLER, Fifi!

This year the orchestra represented St. john at Dodge City and at our own Stafford County Meet again. Besides their contest work, they play for the plays, teachers meetings, besides numerous other affairs. One feature of this year's work has been the thirty minute programs at the different churches of the city. Every person that plays an instrument is taken into the orchestra at once. lilQ77'0'-- '-t'--'- A A 69 99 - A QUQCQJHO me h hiwlwin of ,,.

The Hrst group of three were given November nineteenth. The second group of plays was presented on April 13th, together with the short operetta Lady Frances by the Girls Glee Club. All the plays were excellent and it is hoped that the idea of giving one act plays will be continued next year. With the money raised from the first group, a rug, parlor lamp, and fire-place were purchased and presented to the school. The finances rom the second group were used for taking the one act play to Emporia.

The coaches were Miss CARLSON and Miss BARBER. The plot goes something like this: ,jones was the salesman for a hymn book house, a stranger in town, who with Mr. Gocdly and Richard were almost caught by policemen at the forbidden prize-fight. Jones follows Mr. Goodly to his home, to disguise himself as the Bishop of Ballarat, who was expected from Australia. When the Bishop arrives, no one except the three men know who the real Bishop is until after a great deal of trouble, which finally results by the cop taking the real bishop to jail. His brother, feels conscience stricken and tells the Whole story. Poor Jones has to suffer the advances of Alvina, the old maid Aunt, who thinks she is making love to the real bishop. Helmacares nothing for else but money, while Minerva just delights in discussing theories. Mrs. Goodly finds it quite difficult to control her unruly husband. We also ind a policeman and an insane Indian in this play. The lovers, Marjorie and Richard, can't stand to be separated. By the time all the trouble is over, jones and Cissy are desperately in love, so after all we know what really happened to Jones. The money raised from this play was given to the annual treasurer to help hnance this book. Hurrah for the Seniors! CAST or CHARACTERS Jones, who travels for a hymn-book house ......... ....

The JUNIOR PLAY Adam and Eva is a bright and amusing play On the American business man, who has the genius for making money but not a trace of talent for managing his own family. His family regards him as bothersome, except when he poises his pen above his check-book. These relatives even arranged with his physician to have him go away on a long trip so that they may run up his bills more freely. The exasperated father suggests that his business manager, Adam Smith, take charge Of his family. As a desperate remedy, he deludes the family into thinking that their father's big rubber business is ruined. In divers and humerous ways each Of the family learns to earn his own living and of course it does them all good and and brings Out the best that is in them. Each member of the cast did splendidly under the careful directorship Of Mrs. MOORE. The money raised was used for financing the Junior-Senior banquet. And it was a real One, tOO!

WALTER RICKERT The Student Council is a new organization in the St. john High School. Every class and organization has two representatives to this council. The faculty is repre- sented by two administrators. The biggest accomplishment of this group has been the working out of an honor point system, enabling students to earn through scholarship and school activi- ties, as well as in debate and athletics. This plan will go into effect next year. One other feature was the all school Hallowe'en party and box supper, where over S50 cash was cleared off the sales. The Council also sponsored a Spring Tennis Tournamant and a big Clean-up Campaign, besides many other smaller worthy pro- yects.

W xv cf -'-' ATHLETIC REPORT FOR YEARS 1914-15 and 1915-16 It is probable that Coach HOLTFRERICHYS most notable achievement during his two years here is the cutting down of the athletic debt. D. W. HELBIG and G. E. MARUN are also to be commended in their splendid assistance in that work. When Coach arrived here in September of 1914 the following debts were on the books of the Athletic Association: Atken Lumber C0 ............,.,. ,,...

IO 10 Total debts ............. ........ . ......... . S790 IO By careful economy on buying athletic suits and other supplies, the debt has been cut to 319060. The total amount of reduction has been made by the way of gate receipts. No organization whatever has had to donate a cent to the athletic association. The boys rather resented wearing old suits in athletic practice and contests, but now they agree that the end has justified the means. A large portion of the money tre- ceived came from the gate receipts of football games. When you consider that previous to this time the association was running further into debt each year, and that the coach has kept up his department in fine shape, and decreased the debt S600 in two years, the results are really remarkable.

Coach HOLTFRERICH was an outstanding college athlete while at Emporia Teach- ers College, where he received his B. S. degree in Physical Education. He received eleven letters in college athletics, three in football, four in basketball and four in track. He also received a special reward from the school for winning more than three letters in one sport. During the seasons of 197.3 and '14, he played end on the team that tied for State Championship and he was an All Kansas conference end in 1914. He was captain of the basketball team in his senior year and was All State Forward on the second team. Coach HOLTFRERICH is a splendid man and his pleasing personality on the rid- . . 4 g iron as well as in the school, has made him one of the most popular faculty members. oiufqmwo oimignw arf 5 ll h -LLL --L.h.1.rlm1.,n nm The 1915 FOOTBALL SEASON After such a successful season in 197.4, the local squad had great hopes for an all victorious team this year. The season commenced on October 7., with Larned here, which resulted in a victory, I3 to o. Our hopes were high, but alas, the next game spelled defeat for us, I3 to 8 from Dodge City. And the following week Kingman plowed mud for a 17. to 7 victory. The season looked black. And the next game at Kinsley netted a victory for our opponents, 3 to O. We had lost three straights, and it looked blackcr and blacker every day. But we were due for a better day, which begun when we went out to Garden City and swamped the junior college with a 7.1 to o score. Later Great Bend was annihilated to the tune of 7.5 to o. Pratt took their turn at defeat when we beat them I9 to o. Then Lewis took the small end of a 7.7 to 17. score, and all was well clear up to the big Thanksgiving Classic with Stafford. Thanksgiving Day dawned. It was a wonderful pre-winter day. An enormous crowd had gathered at Brown held. Both Stafford and St. john had their bands in attendance, and pep was not lacking from either side. The whistle blew. And the game begun. The ball went to and fro down the field, but never crossed the goal line in the first three quarters. It looked like a o to o tie. In that last quarter things began to happen. And after 17. minutes of happening out on that gridiron, our lads marched off the field and Stafford was beaten zo too. We take great consolation in saying that our three defeats were played in fields of mud, while all our dry games were decisive victories. Two of the very pleasant events of the season were the two banquets given by the Senior girls, one to the Kingman team, the other to the local boys after the big Stafford victory.

DAMON-End-Also his first year, but he played with credit to himself and to the team. WALKER-Quarterback-A fast, shifty back.

Injuries kept him out a lot, but he made up for it when he played. BRlGHT+HdIfb4Ck U' End-A good, consistent player at either position. BOTHUM-Guard-A whiz at guard. They had to go some to run over George. PELTON-E71dYURCdH was mighty good at end. Not so big, but mighty. We are looking forward to great things from Red next year. RENICK1C6Hf6fYFfCd was never bluffed, although he often played against men twice his size. The only man on the team who never missed a second of play the whole season. YOUNG1GH4fd'-HC played a nice game at guard. He played in every quarter after he began playing. Frank has another year with us. ADAMs-Guard-Jim didn't get to play this year, but he has another year to show his stuff. MARTIN-Halfbark-Scott's first year but he played like a veteran. With three more years to play, he will doubtless be a real star. 0lllCQll'0--------M-W - as Q Q, 'sp - ..-.....-.-omgegmo h p hi1elwinoL9-Or r Top Roux' FRANK YOUNG, NOBLE RoB13RTs, COACH HOLTFRERICH, CECIL GRAY, SCOTT MARTIN Bottom Row: ALBERT KAY, Jess BRIGHT, Cape, CLESTON PELTON, EVERETT DAMON The BASKETBALL TEAM The boys played fourteen games of basketball this year, besides taking part in the district tournament at Pratt March it and iz. We won two contests over Spearville, one from StafTord, one fron Byers, and one from Hudson. But the other games were dropped, mosr of them by close margins, which made' our season better than the win column si nil-ies. The teams which win over St. John were Dodge City two, Larned two,Great Bend two, Lyons one, Pratt one, StaHord one and Kinsley two games. In the Pratt tournament, St, John landed third place, being bettered only by Anthony and Pratt. The local boys beat Harper in the semi-finals with a 1.7-zo score. One reason the boys have won less games than they have lost is because St. John is primarily a football town, and the people don't attend basketball games. I Natur- ally the players do not respond accordingly, But this year's team was big improve- ment over the team of 197.4-7.5. - A A Q t Q I Roberts, Damon, and Kay will not be with us again, so their positions will be open to new material.

They won eight games, tied two, and lost five. There has always been an unusual interest in girls athletics at St.John, and this year was no exception. Coach Martin has done splendid work in coaching the team, and a large share of the credit is due his faithful work with the team. Girls basketball has always been strong here, and chances are it will continue to be so until some other sport or activity is found that will furnish as much interest. Edna Brenn, Mary Blake, are finishing this year, so their berths must be replaced from the lower ranks.

No doubt the new student honor system recently worked out thru a council committee, is the Council's most outstanding achievement. There has been a feeling among parents, faculty and students, that the good stu- dent should be recognized in some htting way, as well as the good athlete. With this idea in rnind, the council spent several weeks working on a plan to reward the pupil that excells in scholarship. Realizing also that there are other activities be- sides Debate, Oratory, and Athletics, that develop the student and advertise the school, they included these other activities in their system. Certain activities listed below gives certain points, and any student getting the necessary points will be awarded a St. John High School letter-the much sought HJ. This letter is to be a large Chenille J the first year, small bronze the second year, silver for the third, and gold for the fourth. The letters for thelast three years are to be of uniform size, being used as a pin or charm, depending on whether it goes to a boy or girl. These letters are to be purchased thru the Student Council fund, and to be pre- sented at the end of the year by the Student Body President to those who win them. This system will begin in the school year 1916-2.7, and the plans may be subject to some few minor changes. The System, in detail, follows: 4 Total scholarship .......... ,... 3 o Points Total activities ..,.....,....,........,.,....... 39 points Total points possible ......,................... 69 points A person must make at least 38 points out of the total 69 to receive the J, .Ycbolarfbip-Honor Roll one semester ....,....... ,.... ..,...,., 1 5 points. To be on the honor roll, it is necessary to make above gcgf, in four high school subjects. Activities-President of Student Body ..... 5 points President of Classes .,..,..,. 3 points President of Hi-Y and G. R.. . . 7. points Treasurer of Class ..........,.. 7. points Treasurer of Hi-Y or G. R. .,..... 1 points President of other organizations ..... .... I point Sec-Treas. Student Council ...... 2. points Member Student Council .... 1 point Quartette Ql3oys or GirlsD ..,.. 3 points Glee Club QBoys or Girlsl .... .... 3 points Orchestra .........,.,...... 3 points Chorus ......... .... 3 points Dramaties ....... . 3 points Opereffai U' Plays Leads .,.......... 3 points Major parts ..... . .1 points Minor parts ............,..,...,...... ...... 1 point The classification of plays will be made before parts are cast. Under this sys- tem, it is the idea of the Student Council to develop well rounded students, and not bookworms alone. A person may get a by being on the honor roll, one semester and having a fair list of activities. It is hoped to promote the activities of students along scholastic and cultural lines. oi1lCfDiii0,,,.,,,,,Y,,,.. -N -ans -ee-'- i0filCCDlllo h hi rxvl w i nopg-q w .Z 9 . l , ,, QHIQFHQ , 6 Q 6 Q , OMQWQ OUR ADVERTISERS It IS to the busmess and professxonal men of St ohn and V1C11'l1Iy that we are xnclebted for th1s publ1cat1on 1nd and to extend our srncercst thanks for the1r patronage herern We trust that everv reader of thxs annufll wrll ursuc the enclosed adwer msements an to remember that lt rs the St ohn busrness men that support our churches md schools and IH turn should recewe the busmess and support of the people of thrs communltv The ANNUAL STAFF u If IAJW lf 1 ff S ,K t 4 5 A 4. fl if s to them we wish to dedicate this page, .
