So that the bright wistfulness of those days may not fade, or their worth be mitigat- ed, we have reared this structure to help us keep intact a memory of Youth. ox f X2 11 ess-sl ,f Y. ,fr '11 h of iiiif ffsffi Y i l if fi i 1 333' 1 'k 7 X.

They really knew how to entertain in more ways than musically. These four peop.e won first place at Southwestern in the contest, the prize being 3.25. Miss Peter rates as the best l00KlI1g and best dressed teacher on the faculty and further, she is 0116 of the most talented and elti- clent iiddlers who have ever graced the W. H, S. halls. We hope she Will long be with us. A girls' quartet of some hot numbers, Marie Glass, Maxine llarp, Mildred Watkins, and Pauline Snyder was added by M1'. McCray this year. They proved they can warble by the winnings they pulled down. They won first at the Southwestern contest, the prize being a beau- tiful plaqueg at the Wichita con- test, they tied for tirst place. No less smooth, the boys' quar- tet we1'e some workers, for Bob's many chains, Charles' motor- cycle, XVilson's heighth and yod- elling, and Otis', well, Otis has that certain something, made a group who were always NVGlCOI1lG in any assembly. They met with their customary success in the contests. Prof. Mac needs no introalu - tion, for he is the best known faculty member. He is the most popular, too, a proof of his var- ious merits and especla ly of his reputation for Ushootin' square with a guy. We will all cer- tainly be sorry to have him leave next year for we have liked him awfully well. A group of more than usual interest was the mixed quartet, our little music box revue. Bob, Marie. Frances and our ever present land popuiarb Wilson made up this group. They had unusual success and popularity. At Wichita, this group tied for iirst place in the Ark Valley. THE LAGONDAN Page 7 l i 4 l i l I I l i 1 i E ff, 'iff 1 4 1 i Page 8 'fl THE LAGONDAN ACTIVITY In the corner we see a group of girls with whom Vierdonia stay- ed while at Estes. They seem to be having a gorgeous time. The young lady just getting off the train is none other than Vier- donia Shockey, the only repre- sentative the senior G. R. had at Estes Park last summer. She looks all prepared for a good time in this picture. There in the small picture We see Miss De Turk holding a book. We are Willing to bet that it has something to do with G. R. too. She was the most steadfast G. R. head sponsor and she was as well a true and sympathetic friend. fAnd she is a geometry teacher who really knows her quad- rang1es.J On one side of this panel we see the fat one and the shieky one-of course we are talking about the male quartet who came to entertain us-fand on the other side the funny one and the one who was married. For further particulars see, Well, certain fem- inine members of the senior class. In the oblong, we have the boys from Hi-Y who Went to camp last summer. From all accounts, Gifford May, Merritte Zirkle, Albright Collinson, Bob Hartley, Jack Stewart, Fuller Watt and Mr. Heischman had a swell time. And again we have Lyceum en- tertainers. The one on the left is the magician who entertained us with many clever tricks. He was really worth seeing. On the right hand side we see Clem Morgan, a K. F. H. at Wichita entertainer. He pre- sented some very clever and in- teresting amusement. In this snap we have Curly and Lightning otherwise known as Mr. Vaughan and his dog. A faithful guardian of his pupils, and their advisor in time of trouble, Mr. Vaughan has trained his dog in his footsteps because Lightning is quite likely to bite the intruders, es- pecially those by the name of Billy Davis. Mr. Vaughan is the head sponsor of the Hi-Y. At the bottom are the boys and girls at their different camps. Acrrlvlrr The senior high Girl Reserves unanimously selected Helen Sheeks as being the most cleverly dressed at the dress-up party held for the Big and Little Sis- ters. Here we have Helen posing as a-we don't know whether it is a chorine or a wee infant. In the intra-murals, Karr's home room came out as senior winners. This p.ace was wo11 only by the enthusiasm of the team who turned out in full force. It was composed of Edgar Kindt, captain, George Cranston, Kenneth Watts, Roger Kirkwood, Vernon Brown, Loren NVade, George London, and Lawrence Swenson. Doc Heischman's home room won the intra-mural home room championship for the ninth grade and also the junior high cham- pionship-which is some achieve- ment, believe us. Those on the team were Guy Kellar, Bill Fiske, VVilson Fox, Vernon Clark, Lewis Barr, James Gann, Irvin Lewis. In the eighth grade intra-mur- als, Miss Burdick's home room managed to win over all the other eighth grade runner up's. The team was particularly strong in personnel which was made up of: Harry Flottman. Dick Richards, Verle Dobson, VVilbert Ray, R. H. Davis. Showing the prospects for fu- ture teams to be good, the sev- e11th grade champions were Mrs. Wells' home room. This fast and strong defensive team was com- posed of XValter Sheneman. Floyd Tucker, Jack Buckman, Charles Green, and Dale Newlin. The players were all promising and makes tl1e basket ball future look big. The yo-yo has, we fear, gone forever but we can still preserve a record of it for here we see Er- nestine Morris winner of the in- tra-mural yo-yo contest. Ernest- ine was able to do so many fancv tricks with her yo-yo that she was selected by popular vote to be champion of practically 1600 yo-yoists. Doc certainly looks pugi'is- tic in this snap. One begins at last to understand the eminent respect his fond pupils entertain- ed for him. But for all that he was a real guy and one of the most popular and well-liked of all the teachers. He doesn't know what it is to have an enemy. THE LAGONDAN Page .,.. - -ww f page I0 THE LAGONDAN i AC'TIX'ITY 111 a starting position 111 the corner, we see rtoger IxlI'KWOOll, a valuable man on the track Leam. He was especially success- 1u1 in the hurdllng events alld was always ready to give his nest 111 every event that he entered. AGOAQHUS SIIIIEH was snapped here 111 a characteristic pose Just before attempting to thgrow the Javelin. A popular captain of tile track squad, Adolph proved his lnerlt two years ago whe11 he broke the Ark Valley record for Javelin throwing and established another. Uolph Wi1l be greatly missed next year. Gerald Menzle, a distance mall who was a hard Worker and o11e whose abilities made l1in1 a V31- uaole asset for next year s Lealll. ltichard Nichols was a ju111or high trackster who was uncle- teated this year in the dash events, a11d is a star who will un- douotechy Will many points for W1nIie.d H1gl1. He is standing beside Lee Williams, a valuable re.ay man Who will be here to help the track team again next year. Both of these boys are real assets. Speedy Spence, the W. H. S. SDQSU merchant was one of the ready outstanding men of this year. A dash man who could dash, Jack won every dash event he entered but one. And Whe11 you consider the competition he was under, this is no small ac- complishment. Roy Hicks, a newcomer this year who was most welcome was a valuable Weight man, which includes discus, shot and jave.in. He is only a freshman and if he chooses will be able to Win many points in track for W. ll. S. Kenneth McFarland is an all- round star. He was very good ln all events and was high point man in the inter-society meet. Dean Drennan was a weight man par excellence. He sank the discus 111 feet in the inter-so- ciety meet, He won several points for W. H. S .during the year. He will be greatly missed next year. Coach Ralph Titus finds the track team is rather hard hit by graduation this year, but there are promising youngsters coming along alld he expects to get some more excellent material. He has been very successful this year. Albert Sullivan was a 440-yard dash man and he ran all his races in fast time. Ab was a real asset to the team and his absence will be felt next year. Ac'TIvI1'x' THE LAGONDAN page 11 Here we have Marietta Mar- tinez and Lucy Trees, two jun- iors who have made remarkable progress. This picture of Bob Myers shows one of the most agile play- ers on the team. He developed very rapidly and displayed a Hash and steady movement of play. The young man with white flannels and a professional look is none other than our Billy Davis. More is expected of him for next year. In the center we see Helen Mickleson. Helen has been a real tennis star for several years. Her form is especially good and as a result she has seldom lost a game. In the doubles she and Mary met with the same success. Leon Snyder was a prominent tennis man this year. He has improved so noticeably this year that he should be an important member of next year's team. Wilbert Smischney is the only junior high student on the tennis team. He exhibited a great deal of interest and ability this year. Mr. T. H. Vaughan, the tennis coach has had a very successful season so far. We all join in ex- tending our congratulations to Mr. Vaughan and best wishes for the coming season. Morrell Wilmer, another junior tennis star, showed great prom- ise this year. Probably next year he will do a little dope up- setting on the Ark Valley sched- ule. Mary Janet McDonald has done some mighty nice tennis work this season and she has ably sus- tained the reputation she has al- ready attained. She and Helen have won the Ark Valley cham- pionship in doubles for the past three years. John Crawford displayed sur- prising form. John is only a sophomore so we may depend on him for big things next year. Annabelle Vaughn was a really outstanding player. She had a stroke of great possibilities and one that a year or so more prac- tice will work wonders in de- veloping. Don Trees was another player of note. The line-up this year composed of so many sophomores and juniors looks promising for next year even while such players as Mary Janet, Helen, and Bob are leaving around May 23. i gli WW Page 14 THE LAGONDAN ADMIlNIbTRATION rvvvv vfivvwvvvvvrvvvvwvvvvrvvvw Beyond 1930 Intelligence seems to be the ability to succeed in situations demanding mental act- ivity. It is not the single ingredient of the successful life. It needs thehigh compan- ionship of purpose, ideals, urge to action, emotional balance, and persistence. We test water for its purity, oil for its specific gravity, wood for its durability, steel for its strength, and life for its quality. To view life from the eminence of a Senior of the Class of 1930 is a high privilege. This means that many of the fears of child- hood have been passed as have the diseases of childhood with serious concern at the time but the consequences are not grave. True, the pure joy of Fourth of July, of Christmas, of the tirst valentine, and of motto candy have passed. These are the early ecstacies of the thrilling years. The shifting sentiment of noisy Fourths is replaced by a nobler and more fundamental patriotism, the vanished Santa Claus has been transformed to a symbol of servicef and the ideal hours of youth have been tempered by the responsibility of making a living as well as living. With graduation from high school, the life is launched. There is thrilling adventure ahead. These eternal years which are yours are more won- derful and more perilous than any that have yet been lived. The voyage provides no re- turn ticket. Joy in the journey! -W. W.

It is then our purpose in modern secondary education to offer diversi- ned opportunities during school life for the same achievements. Keeping in mind this objective Winfield High School has a com- plete and rather complicated system of activ- ities, both curricu'ar and extra-curricular which offers every pupil in the social group the opportunity to succeed in some particular field. Athletics offers encouragement to those who wish to excel in physical and mental prowess. Music is so organized that several hundred pupils may co-operate for a success- ful music department. Forensics offers in- ducements to many. Those who are scholas- tically inclined are encouraged by the many scholarship contests to earn recognition by successful endeavor in this field. The mem- bers of the Class of 1930 continue life after graduation in a world little more serious and very little more complicated than the life which they have lived during the years in High School. A few will continue to live with athletics as a keen sport interest. Some will continue to enjoy music as vocational and many will continue music during leisure time. Forensics will be continued in the in- dustrial and social life of the group. The privileges of office holding, parliamentary procedure, etc., etc., which have been those of our high school days will continue in the multitude of club and lodge organizations of which our people will become a part. There- fore the present opportunity for achievement paves the way for future opportunities to achieve. -EVAN E.

Not to levitate, nor lessen Any goal you may have Won, Our hope is that you now may know The fight has just begun. From the precepts of the ages, From the chronicles of years, We have tried to build a fortress To withstand the future's fears. And all we want in retribute Is knowledge of a lightened heart In you-and eagerness for life And strong ambition for the start. We could not be thus effaced And mediate for you in mind, Except the thought of you with whom We worked are now no longer blind. Go forth, then, with the knowledge That We stand here to see you go, And hope the worth we gave to you Shines on in life's far afterglow. -s.:Ax4.4.zAA-Asa.: vrvvvvvvvvvvvvwvvrvv K MILL a r Y CLASSES THE LAGONDAN Page 20 SENICDRS The year, which was viewed with antici- pation by the freshman and sophomore, has come to a close. Many of those, who dreamed of this day back in 1928 have dropped by the way, some lured into the world of business, while others have listened to Cupid's voice. A goodly number has remained and to each that has contributed to the success of the year has come the satisfaction of accomplish- ment. The activities of the year have been many. Some of the seniors have carried un- usual responsibilities. Our president, Wayne Henderson, besides leading the class has taken an active part in dramatics and for- ensics. Max Sturm, the president of the Alphas, has been a senior whose interests were legion. Besides carrying on the work of his society, he has been prominent in music, forensics, and track. Fernando Cook, the president of the Philos has been active in the musical organizations. Jack Spence has led the Die Bestes in a fine way and at the same time played his part in football and track. Bob Myers, our most versatile senior has engaged in a range of activities-president of the Student Council, captain of the basketball team, an entry in voice, violin, and finally he became a drummer in the band. Gretchen Bower and Roger Kirkwood have led the religious organizations in an efficient manner aided in each case by other seniors. The 4-H Clubs of Cowley County chose Lottie Keasling, another of our seniors, to represent them at the National Convention of the clubs in Chicago. Another, Delos Shore, interested in improving the rural com- munities was awarded a beautiful gold watch at the St. Louis National Dairyman's Con- vention for placing second in the milk judg- ing contest. The seniors have been prominent in dramatics. Among those who have led in this activity are Charlotte Bangs, Edith Fischer, Wayne Henderson, Martha Jean Roach, Helen Welch, Don Parsons, Keith Green, Albright Collinson, Billy Hoppe, and Perry Martinez. Other seniors who were prominent in athletics4Jack Pool, Adolphus Smith, Har- old De Witt, Albert Sullivan, Keith Green, Edgar Kindt, Chet Hamm, Charles Vaughn, Finley Fiske, Dean Drennan, Albert Green- walt, and Lawrence Swenson. In the music of Winfield High School- Marie Glass, Charles Dalton, Josephine Gil- mer, Wilson Hahn, Dwight Fulton, Jerry Toomey, and Carl Stutzman did their part. In the usual senior manner the annual play was staged and to Mr. Casburn goes much credit for its success. Seniors in the American history classes anxious to escape the yearly preliminary quiz sold tickets a year in advance. The banquet was a gala affair enjoyed by all. And the seniors were proud of Helen and Wayne, their representatives in the Southwestern May Day activities. g Many others who deserve special mention are found in the various activity write-ups. X.

AA-gAg.444.:AA+ CLASSES Page 99 JU ions Wella, here we are, Wella, here we are, Just watch us charging down the line, sing the members of the '31 as they pass in and out the straight and narrow paths of W. H. S. You can't es- cape us, you can't ignore us, we are here because We're here, and no one can forget us. Believing as we do, that self-confi- dence, poise, independence, and self- respect are much better than modest with- drawal from the world of action, we have put into practice our philosophy. Back in the junior high days we may have seemed a Comedy of Errors to our be- nighted superiors, and in our sophomore year we may have made Much Ado About Nothing, in the eyes of those who had also been wise fools, but now we know that the good life has indeed begun for us. Much more sedate and dignified, we know we are an integral part of the life of the school. Not only in athletics but also in every worthwhile organization, whether it be debate, dramatics, band or orchestra, you have found us at the front. Whatever was needed, we have stepped forward,-As You Liko It old school. There have been ups and downs, we haven't always been at our best, yet we are beginning to know our latent powers. We know there is a vital relation between our study and the real things of life. Now we realize that the object of education is the development of the intellectual and spiritual life of the individual. In what we do and say are found our ideals. The midnight oil has not often been burned low, but then we have brains enough to be brilliant without grinding our noses to a mere stub. But how we have loved to burn gasoline! Many of our members have carsein all degrees of models-but that matters not. How we do love to ride! We have proved that we can be both famous and popular-but it will never do to outshine the seniors. We'd tell you more of this famous junk, But the senior editor would mark it bunk. Into the wastebasket the stuff would go: For the senior class must be the whole show. Last year our sophomore class party was the first of its kind in six years. We cannot name all of our members who have been faithful and loyal to the school, by entering activities, or doing their best in a quiet way. Here are the names of some who have been prominent in school affairs from their youth up. We thank them for the creditable way in which they have repre- sented us: Marietta Martinez, Bessie Lu Henthorne, Betty Lu Lynn, Lucy Trees, Helen Winterringer, Betty Lowther, Avan- elle Maitland, Maxine Harp, Lorraine Baker, Lillian Hodges, Thelma Ruth Kunder, Rowena Kunzman, Louelle Lang, Frances Revellette, Leon Snyder, Richard Gibson, Donald Trees, Morrell Wilmer, Thomas Emmitt, Gerald Menzie, Gerald Beach, Rankin Fink, William Maddox, Lee Williams, Joe Robinson, Marion Win- ter, Bill Davis, Tom Hamilton, Constance Clokey, Bob Warren, Luther Hoyle, Nellie Hanna, James Calvert, Kenneth Watkins, Mabel Townsend, John Moore, Louise Richards, Katherine Burge, Louise Focks.

Thomas, and John Lowe have made a creditable beginning in our high school career. Miss Headrick and Mr. Casburn have recognized the abilities of various of our members in dramatics by assigning them parts in school plays. These include Har- old Holden, Helen Carrol, Evelyn Stephen- son, Otis Hadley, Jim Jarvis, George Brooner, Doris Allen, Mildred Geddes, and Kenneth Franks. Junior Peterson, and Otis Hadley also had important parts in the Hi-Y Minstrel. Junior Peterson has developed into a valuable basketball player. Next year he will probably be supported by Ernest Go- forth, Lamar Aringdale, Forrest Peterson, Bruce Riddle, and Albert Mangel-all on this year's team. In music several sophomores have won honor for themselves and W. H. S. Betty Jean Barbour as a member of the National High School Orchestra took part in concerts given in Atlantic City, New York, Philadelphia and Washington D. C. Annabelle Vaughn was awarded iirst place in flute at Southwestern. Mildred Wat- kins sings second soprano in the Girls Quartet and Anna Levick and Gerry Toomey the String Ensemble won first at Southwestern. Marjorie Cole repre- setned the school at Wichita and at South- western. Grace Osborne assisted by play- ing accompaniments on numerous occa- sions. The scholarship teams also include members of our class. We were repre- sented at Pittsburg by Lila Ramage, Grace Osborne, Evelyn Stephenson, and Dorothy Snyder. Harold Holden was elected as an honorary member of the Rotary Club be- cause of his high scholastic standing. Bob Hartley was a. member of the golf team and John Crawford showed skill at tennis. Ernest Goforth and Demoree Haydock made the track team.

Having successfully completed two years of football, Mr. Yue left vacant a position which will be hard for a successor to iill. The en- tire student body wishes him success in his new position. Page 55 THE LAGONDAN A'ruLErics FCCTBALL The 1929 football season started out very anspiciously indeed for Winfield, when she succeeded in downing the St. John's aggre- gation 13-12. This was the second game that the locals had played with the Johnnies in six years. The game of last year ended i11 a tie. After such a beginning we went i11to the Ark Valley with high hopes for the success of the second year of football in Winlield High. The next game we played was with El Dorado. While it ended disastrously for us, it was an excellent game from the standpoint of form, and gave more practice to next year's gridsters. The score rolled up by the Ark Valley champions against us was 45-0. We met Wellington Crusaders still fight- ing, and the result was that their score was only two touchdowns as against none by us, showing improvement in our offensive and defensive game over last year's showing of 64-0. Meeting the Augusta Oilers, the Vikings were at least a match for them and the score was 0-0. This was another proof that we are better than last year when Augusta beat us 26-0. After the Augusta game we got all set for the Wichita East Blue Aces who took us for a ride of 20-0, but although we were beaten, we had fought hard and Wichita knew they had been to a football game when the after- noon was over. r W - . l l r , - i The big game of the season, the conquest of Arkansas City ended with the Vikings completely put to rout by the tenacious Bull Dogs. Although the locals fought hard and contested eve1'y inch of the ground, they were out-p.ayed to the tune of 19-0. Wichita High School North showed real talent for football this year when they beat us 6-0 in a strongly organized game. The Redskins come from a new school and have played football for only one season. We con- gratulate them 011 their promising start. Somewhat encouraged by the XVichita game, the Vikings beat the turf for Douglas ending in a 0-0 score, thereby closing the season in no unworthy manner. This year's achievement shows from a comparison with last year's record that we have made considerable improvement in our brand of football. Some of the best of the squad return next year, the prospects look bright for the 1930 season. To Mr. Yoe and Mr. Thomas, the head and assistant coaches, go the credit for achieving such results from practically raw material. They taught fine ideals to the players along with the fundamentals of the game Elllll their work will last longer than a mere football season. Throughout the season the high spirit and unfailing good sportsman- ship tliat our team showed either in defeat or in victory speaks well for the future accomplishments on the gridiron. s yi , - ,f -Q' s 4. ..

Thomas came to Winfield following a coach whose success was almost national in importance. Not only was he thus handicapped but he had also a team of which but one member had been on the team last year. Against these odds and fighting a general lack of optimism, Coach Thomas worked up a team that has made a wonderful record. His work has been, we feel, appre- ciated, but we want to take this opportunity to express again our appreciation and sincere esteem. RE THE Vikings good? VVe'll say! The basketball five this year more than lived up to everyones expectation. After riding on the crest for so long, this year's team had a hard job to till and they were highly satisfactory i11 the way they carried on. Wichita High School North. The Vikings were in good shape after their pre-season games with St. John's, a Southwestern intra- mural team and the annual pre-season game with Oklahoma City, and went up to Wichita prepared to do some damage, displaying the brand of basketball that has won three state championships. A score of 23-11 in our favor shows how much they accomplished. The next game was with our ancient and strong rival, Newton, to whom XVinf1eld drop- ped a game with a score of 18 to 7. It was a defensive condict. Winfield rallied in the third quarter but slipped in the final quarter allowing their rivals to sew up the game. The Hutchinson Sat Packers played us at Stewart gymnasium in an air-tight defens- ive game 011 January 4. After the Hrst tally more during the entire game and won with a score of 8-6. The next game with Wellington certainly set a precedent. For the first time in the history of basketball competition between the two schools, the Crusaders nosed us out by a score of 7-4 in a slow, defensive game. On .Ianuary 14, we met the El Dorado Wild Cats who took us into camp with a score of 20-16. It was a fast and interesting game and both teams played good basketball. One of the big games of the season, the contest with Ark City, was a victory for the Vikings in the most hotly contested game of the season. The Bull Dogs worked hard and fast but the Vikings managed to hold them.

ATHLETICS THE LAGONDAN Page 61 SECOND TEAM According to the usual custom, the sec- onds played a full schedule, generally the same as that of the first team. Nearly every team receives recognition but none deserve it so much as the second team which gives us in the main all our next year's players. Right here let us say that the seconds did a creditable job this year, and we only hope that next year's team can do so well. The first Ark Valley game was played with Wichita North. We presented a strong man to man defense that could not be broken by the Redskins. The score ably bears testi- mony to that, for it was 10-1. Some of the teams with whom we were supposed to play did not present a second team so the game was not played. The next game was with the Ark City Bull Dogs. Showing an abundance of iight and determination, the seconds took the measure of Ark City to the tune of 13-9, thereby giving the first team a good send-off. The defense seemed to be slightly ragged but that improved as the season advanced. Again we won a victory from Wichita North. The game started slow but before it was over they were playing a fast and fierce game that couldn't be stopped. When the tie of 10-10 had to be played off, Go- forth, a promising contender for next year's first team made a goal and we won with 12-10. The seconds next won from Wellington, ringing up a score of 12-10 again. In a game with the freshmen on Febru- ary 7, the seconds lost, 11-8, which speaks well for the future basketball stars in Win- field. The second game with the Ark City sec- onds who bombarded the Varsity quintet so hard and sank so many baskets for Winfield, weakened as we ineligibility of one of the men, a score of 16-7. Our Seconds inability to through the hoop caused us to was a defeat were by the and dropped get the ball suffer defeat at the hands of the Wichita East seconds. The Wichita defense was quite adequate and kept us from reaching a close zone for shots. The final score was 17-9, in Wichita's favor. While all the real praise seems to go to the first team, when we have any to dis- tribute, the seconds are no less valuable and deserving. This year's second team results certainly make the future look promising, and enough praise cannot be given to Mr. Thomas who successfully engineered so fruitful a year. 1 Back Rowi Lee Williams, Bruce Riddle, Ernest Goforth, Lamar Aringdale.

C. Monroe. When he issued a call for boys to try out for the team only a very few responded. When the last call was sent out, they began to pick the team. More boys appeared after the season had started. The team was practically built around Wagner and Spoon, two rangy and fast boys who proved themselves worthy of the respon- sibility placed on them. The other players, Robert Johnson, Francis Watkins, Gifford May, Billy Porter, Bill Fiske, Wilbert Smisch- ney and Martin Nesbit, all did excellent work. They practiced hard and made fast pro- gress for their first game which they were to play with Ark City. The team had prac- ticed the slow shifting defense in use by our first team and began to use it in this game but Ark City had a fairly easy victory of 31-5. The team got more into its stride after this defeat and a game with the Southwestern's intra-mural team Blue Birds found us mak- ing it harder for the other team to get away to score. The tally was 24-17 in their favor. The freshmen met the Chilocco Junior High with a lot of fighting courage and in one of their closest contests. We were closed out with the close score of 18-17. In the next Ark City game we got taken down several pegs on the score of 25-10 but the old W. H. S. spirit was still fighting hard. Finally on February 24 came the big Chilocco Redskin game, which was hotly con- tested from the start, but the long distance shooting of the opponents defeated the fresh- men to the tune of 32-21. While they may have lost more games than they won, the coach considered the sea- son a successful one from the stand point of gains to be made later on. Coach Monroe worked very hard with the team and should receive the general praise of all. This squad will pass on to senior high next year and will be fighting for positions on the first and seconds squads of the senior high. Several of these youngsters, no doubt, will be stars in future years if they will keep up the pace they set this year. Smischney, Fiske and Nesbit are fiashy little forwards and have a keen eye for the basket. Coach Thomas' earnest prayer, no doubt, is that they will grow tall this summer so they will be large enough to hold their own with their older rivals. Porter is an excellent defensive man and when it comes to basketball sense- he's there. Again Coach Thomas pleads for the gods of nature to stretch this young man's stature six more inches. May, Spoon, Wat- kins, Johnson and Wagner all are promising varsity material and will undoubtedly help boost Winfield's standing in basketball some day. All in all the prospects for the next few years rest largely in these fellows' hands, as they must give the first team competition in order to get the best that there is in them for the season's work. Here are congratula- tions to you, freshmen, and may you always give your best for W. H. S.

Never is that glorious Winfield war- whoop and pan of victory truer than when we are generating pep for some big event under the peppy guidance of our medicine men, Perry and Billy ably assisted by Wil- bert Smischney, and Vernon Clark, the junior high pepsters. At times the very roof seems to lift from the gym under the pressure of the steam ris- ing from the bubbling and boiling spirits of W. H. S., the same feeling that has won for us so prominent a place in the state. No matter what the weather or conditions, our cheer leaders are always jumping-jack-be fore-the-bleachers. Sometimes it might have been more comfortable and not nearly as dis- couraging if they could have either stayed at home or sat in the bleachers, but we always found them there in front of us, cheering the team on to victory. Therefore, let us give them some of the same stuff they have expended so willingly to help keep the spirit of old W. H. S. alive. Let's give them the praise they deserve and so rarely get. Let's show tllem they are really appreciated. So come on, everybody on your feet, Do we have cheer leaders? Yea bo! Do we? Yea bo! Do we? Yea bo! Do we? Yea bo! What do we have? Cheer leaders!

When Coach T. H. Vaughan sent his call out for aspirants he was answered by several promising athletes. The boys' tennis team was made up mostly of new faces. Those that reported were: Myers, Davis, Snyder, Smisch- ney, Wilmer and Trees. While the boys' team was composed mostly of new faces, the girls' team had two veterans, Helen Mickle- son and Mary Janet McDonald who had won the Ark Valley girls' doubles title for three years, to build a team around. Lucy Trees, Marietta Martinez and Annabelle Vaughn also represented W. H. S. in several tennis matches. The first match for the tennis teams was with the strong El Dorado team. Although the boys' team was beaten, the girls' evened things by winning their matches. Several of the Vikings were showing good form but were unable to cope with their superiors. The 'next match was with Wichita East in which only the boys participated. Show- ing improvement over the matches with El Dorado the Blue and Whites. were beaten after a stubborn battle with each of their opponents. On April 22, a match was played with Arkansas City high. The following week the team was entered in the annual Arkansas Valley tennis tournament which was held at Arkansas City. In all probability the tennis team will be entered in a Regional Tourna- ment which will be held in connection with the Regional Track Meet sponsored by South- western. Several other matches will be played be- fore the season is finished. The prospects for next year are fair as the boys' team loses only Myers and the girls lose Mickleson and McDonald. These places, however, will be hard to fill as Myers has been playing consistent tennis and McDon- ald and Mickleson have been the most out- standing girls' tennis stars that Winfield High has been able to boast of for many years. But with the material left after grad- uation and the experience that these players have had this year, the tennis team should do well. l- TRACK Under the fine coaching of Ralph Titus, Winfield High School enjoyed a successful track season. Because the Lagondan went to press before the season came to a close the complete resume cannot be given. The first competition for the Viking tracksters was in a dual meet with Arkansas City. Although the Vikings were beaten, it gave Coach Titus a wonderful opportunity to determine the merits of each man. The next track meet which was with Douglass High School resulted in a victory for the Blue and White. The Vikings were never pushed during the entire meet. Several new men stepped into the limelight and thereafter did the part in a wonderful man- ner. The following week the team was taken to Wellington for a quadrangular meet which was held under the flood lights. Winfield finished second in this meet which is a great deal better than they have done in recent years. The other teams to enter this meet were Ark City, Wellington and South Haven. On April 19, the track team journeyed to Tonkawa, Oklahoma where they entered the annual Northern interscholastic meet. The competition in this meet was the fastest the team had encountered up to date. With 46 of the strongest teams in this section entered, Coach Titus' men managed to finish in sixth place. On May 1, the team will be taken to Wichita to enter the Arkansas Valley track meet. On May 9 and 10 they will be repre- sented in the Regional track meet sponsored by Southwestern College. Captain Dolph Smith, a veteran member of the team was a capable leader and well liked by his team mates. Dolph will be missed next year by the track spectators. Several other men who deserve praise and mention for the work they have done during the season are: Spence, Drennan, Sullivan, McFarland, London, Menzie, Warren, Will- iams, Maddox, Goforth, Nichols, Hicks, Win- ters, Haydock, Sturm, Swenson, Green. 1ULL ., A. ,. k F M Q -,'z .

The play was given October 4 and 5, and a large, appreciative audience attested the popularity of our high school productions. Everyone thought that Mr. Casburn, as- sisted by the Philo sponsors, Miss Moffet, Miss Karr, Miss Knepp, Miss Britton and Mr. Scott, made some happy choices when they selected the cast for the play. All the play- ers had had experience in plays before. The play hinged 011 the identity of VVayne Henderson, who had the boy's lead, a dual role. Wayne was Danny Rowland, an es- caped convict from San Quentin prison, as well as Richard Fentress Castleman, a weal- thy southern gentleman. Much favorable comment was heard concerning Wayne's easy, unaffected stage presence and his lin- ished and mature acting. Evelyn Stephenson was highly praised for her work as Jean Logan, fiancee of Rich- ard Castleman. Since Evelyn is only a sopho- more, we will probably see her in many more plays, acting as naturally as she did in this. Dannie's pal, Dominie, Dr. Blair, or Dr. Ware, as Miss Alicia persisted in calling him, was ably portrayed by Morrell VVilmer. Morrell had an amusing but difficult part which he carried off unusually well. Ruth Barker and Billy Hoppe carried the humorous leads of the story and did them remarkably well. We will never forget the various times that Ruth, Aunt Caroline, said, Move yo' feet, niggahj' and Billy, as Uncle Alex, replied, Feet yo' ownselfj' before shuffling out. Both people displayed real talent. The selfish, grasping cousin, Dr. Chilton, was played by Roger Kirkwood. Roger is now known as one of the best fainters and furniture wreckers W. H. S. has ever pro- duced. Van l-loltby demonstrated his ability to portray fatherly characters successfully in his part of Jean's uncle, Judge Logan. The upright character of the Judge was patent in every particular of Van's portrayal. The Squirrel was cleverly done by Perry Martinez. Perry was such a perfect yeggman that he almost had us all fooled. If he is ever broke, he could make a barrel of money in the black-mail profession. Miss Alicia, Jean's aunt, fragile as old china, seventy and deaf as a post, was played by Eva Compton. Eva was well disguised in her old-fashioned dress and white wig. lVe didn't know she could act. Dwain Reed and John Crawford were quite efficient as Gordon and Stivers, detec- tive and police representatives. They were so awfully anxious to take Danny Rowland away with them, that their discomiiture at the end was very amusing. page 68 THE LAGONDAN oKmxrz.l1'1m DIE BESTE PLAY The Mystery Man, by Morris Ankrum and Vincent Duffy, was the play given by the Die Beste Society. Partly because of the novelty of a mystery play instead of the usual comedy, the play attracted a large aud- ience, most of whom went away feeling that they had seen one of the best mystery plays of the season. It was coached by Mr. Cas- burn, who deserved much of the credit for its success. Otis Hadley, as Robert Wheeler, returned to his Park Avenue apartment where he found a man whom he at first thought was a friend asleep, but who turned out to be a dead man, and a stranger at that. Otis suc- ceeded in looking exceedingly perplexed and worried all through the play. Richard Gibson as Wheeler's lawyer friend, Jerome Tuttle, was suspected by everyone until he managed to clear up the murder as well as his own conduct. Leon Snyder carried his part very well although he has had little experience on the stage. As Inspector Harrison, Leon was very convincing. Keith Green as Detective Clancy, with his solutions and confessions furnished as usual, a great deal of comedy. In tl1is he was aided by Togo, tForrest Sands? and Yogo, iGeorge Broonerj, VVheeler's Japan- ese valet and his cousin. Because Togo spoke English and Yogo did not, and they were always dressed alike, many comedies of er- rors were enacted. These three boys deserved a great deal of recognition which they re- ceived when the play was given. The part of Alice Prince, VVheeler's fiancee was played by Charlotte Bangs. Char- lotte didn't need to prove her ability as an actress again, but she successfully and artis- tically portrayed a young and beautiful damsel in distress. Donald Parsons was particula1'ly good as Philip Jones, the friend whom VVheeler ex- pected. Don startled the audience constantly with various explanations and consultations. He did his part excellently. Kenneth Hodge played the part of Dr. Osborne sympathetically and understand- ingly. It is being told that Kenneth should tell bedtime stories over the radio. He would really be an addition to this field. Lillian Hodges, as Alice's maid furnish- ed the theme of the play by committing sui- cide. Lillian played her part almost too con- vincingly. Albright Collinson as J. K. Prince, Alice's father, had an important part in clearing up the mystery. Albright seemed naturally fitted for his part. Bessie Lu Henthorne and Dorothy Gen- try had the parts of Miss Wilson and Miss Watson, the elevator girls. Miss Wilson was rather excitable, but Miss Watson was abso- lutely unconcerned about such trifles as look- ing at a murdered man, or imparting any information she might have. In this play the audience learned how much can be put in a small part such as the one carried by Darby Stites. Darby was such a detective as has never been seen before. OxG,xN1z.x'1'1oN THE LAGONDAN Page 69 ALPHA PLAY The Alpha's chose The Hottentotu a famous three-act comedy by Victor Mapes for their annual play given November 25 and 26 to large audiences. This was the first play ever given in the high school concerning a horse race and it proved to he as exhilarating as an actual race. The Alpha's have good reason to be proud of this year's production. Opal Hicks, as Peggy Fairfax. and Thomas Emmitt, Sam Harrington, had the leads. Sam met Peggy in California at the home of Mrs. Chadwick, a young widow fHelen Welchl, and promptly falls in love with her. Throughout the play Thomas had a terrible time controlling his feelings about Opal, but at the end everything was lovely and she consented to marry him after he won the race on the Hottentot. The really funny part of the whole show was the fact that Sam didn't even know how to get on a horse. The two leads did some very nice work and both amply proved their histrionic abil- ity. They were very popular in these pa1'ts. There just isn't much left to say about Helen Welch. Every year her acting in some play has aroused very favorable comment. She acquitted herself as usual with charm and increasingly evident ability. The Gilfords, played by Rowena Kunz- man as Mrs. Ollie Gilford, and Gerald Meinzie as Mr. Ollie Gilford, were considered es- pecially noteworthy characterizations. They were both intensely interested in horse rac- ing, especially in the steeplechase race and expected Peggy to marry a famous steeple- chase ride1', a friend of theirs, Larry Craw- ford, played by Charles Dalton. Charles looked and acted like the very wealthy and skilful rider he was, a11d seemed much at home on the stage. Harold Holden played the part of Alec Fairfax very efficiently and seemed to have an intelligent understanding of the part. Captain Reggie Townsend was very con- vincingly played by Jim Jarvis. Jim's part was that of an extremely cultured, wealthy a11d sophisticated young man and since he was naturally fitted for the part, the charac- terization was natural and sincere. It came as a distinct denouement when he was ap- pointed consul to Portugal and married Mrs. Chadwick. Tom Hamilton was an excellent servant in the ro'e of Swift, the ever obliging and respectful butler. We would 11ever have sus- pected Tom of the many accomplishments he revealed in that capacity. Much of the excitement during the race was furnished by Kenneth XVatkins as Mc- Kesson, one of the onlookers. In his enthus- iasm l1e rooted for whichever horse was ahead. Two other parts which deserve special mention were those of Norman Maurer, who was a very efficient and capable groom, and George Robinson who was the Bugler. He started off tl1e race in metropolitan style. Page T0 THE LAGONDAN Oilo.xNlzA'rIoN Hi-Y MINSTREL On December 5 and 6, after a lapse of four years, the Hi-Y presented another and highly successful 11ll1lStl'8l. lt was 0116 of the most popular entertailiineiits of the yeal'. While the entire minstrel cast was tal- ented, much credit for the success of the production nlust be given the coaches of the various acts. Mrs. Charles Hesemann direct- ed the musical numbers, while Miss Ruby Van Winkle and Mary Janet McDonald coach- ed the dance specialties. A great nialiy fav- orable 0011111191115 were heard concerning the work of these three people. The lnterlocutor, tlioger Kirkwoodj as- szisted by Mr, Halitosis tBob Myersl, Mr. Detour tOtis Hadleyp, M1'. Deuteronomy theon Snyderl, M1'. Fermellt tlieith Greenl, Mr. Sonny Boy tJunior Petersonj, and Mr. Listerine tllichard Gibsonl kept the audience laughing illl evening by their snappy run- liilig tire of jokes. All the specialties were cleverly organ- ized and in some cases almost professionally presented. Bob Brown and John Crawford nearly caused a riot in the opening feature, School Daysf' John's first appearance ili curls and dress was so amusing they were forced to give an encore. The Two Colored Sports VVilliam and Johnny Mclinab, called forth nnlcli applause with their jazzy tap dancing. Ill a year or so we may hear of theln on Broadway, if they get lnucli more proficient. Morrel Wilmer p1'oved vei'y entertaining in his monologue specialty. Captain of Hose Company No. l. Oile of the biggest hits of the whole show were the Five Jolly Sailors, Kenneth Rose, George Robinson, Billy Porter, Dick Radley, and Wayne Seaman, drew sweet and seduc- tive tunes from their harmonicas. Their l'eature song which recalled them for an en- core was the VVreck of the Old Ninety Seven. Virginia Hoppe and Jane Kininmouth danced a clever little specialty called Picka- niny Dance that was very well received. The news girls, Bernice Taton, Genevieve Warburton, Virginia Stuber, and Alma Nor- ton proved popular in their original specialty, News Girls. The special specialty was a clog by Wal- ter Sidwell, Jr. Wildly applauded, he was forced to give an encore. For the musical numbers, perhaps the most interesting part of the whole show, sev- eral new talents were discovered. Bob Myers gave Birmingham Bertha the full justice of his excellent bass, while NVilbur Clark, singing Same old Moon--Same old June, and Thomas Emmitt singing, Song of the Nile gave very creditable accounts of them- selves. Richard Gibson then sang Your Mother and Mine very appealingly and George Lancaster gave a peppy rendition of I'm Painting the Clouds with Sunshine. One of the evening's highlights was Keith Green's song, I've Found a New Baby. Keith was one of the real successes of the show. Leon Snyder then sang the popular Tiptoe Through the Tulips and Bob Myers had a return engagement with Lonesome Road, All of the numbers were excellent but they mereiy were leading up to the climax of the evening. Orcenith Smith sang Moanin' Low, aild how he did sing it. He had Gene Austin, Rudy, and Al Jolson backed away off the lnap. The entire show was well worth going to and successful in every way. We hope that We will continue to have the minstrels every year if they are all as good as this year's. Space will not permit of the full list of names in the company, but they were only members of the Hi-Y who were allowed to participate. The Hi-Y should be compli- mented on its achievement. Okolxxlzlxriox THE LAGONDAN Page 71 SENIOR GIRL RESERVE PLAY On January 23 and 24 the senior G. li. presented their annual play which was re- ceived with the enthusiasm always given it. A four act comedy, Miss Somebody Else was presented to large adequate audiences for the two nights and entirely justified all expectation. The cast, selected by Miss Headrick and the other G. R. sponsors was, with a few exceptions, an experienced group whose worth had been proved. Each character was well interpreted but a few deserve a more special mention. Martha Jean Roach, who has been fre- quently seen on the boards of the W. H .S. theater played with much finesse the role of Constance Darcy, a wealthy girl who tries to capture the thief of her father's money by posing as a waitress in Tuxedobrook Country Club. The alias character of Nora 0'Brien was a very hard role to carry since an Irish brogue must be used throughout but Martha Jtan did it in no amateurish style. Wayne Henderson played opposite Mar- tha as Cruger Blainwood, a very good friend of Constance's who occasionally forgot her new name of Nora and almost upset her plans, Wayne, who needs no introduction, gave as always a finished performance, ami justified the faith the play coaches have had in him. Don Parsons was excellent in his role of the gentleman crook, Hastings. His suave way of getting the lllainwood jewels was a source of much comment and interest. Edith Fisher who was Fay lllaiuwood almost got taken in by Hastings. She was seemingly at home in her role and gave a very commend- able performance. Helen Carroll, as Mildred Delavan, the other one who thought she was going to marry Hastings, surprised us all by her lovely speaking voice. She played her role with much charm and sincerity. Alberta Johnson as lVlrs. Deiavan also gave a creditable interpretation of her char- acter. Alberta has just the right amount of dependence for the part. Myrtle Ross as Alice Stanley, and Billy Davis as Bert Shaffer were especially good as was Mildred Geddes as Freda Mason, Betty Lowther as lvlrs. Herrick, Tom Hamilton as Sylvester Crane, Morrell Wilmer as Mr. Del- avan and Kenneth Franks as chauffeur to Constance. Two characters who deserve special men- tion were Jocelyn Parsons as Susan whose lugubrious feelings were intensely amusing, and Doris Allen as Celeste, the French maid with the cute accent, were especially good. Miss Headrick, the coach, deserves to be highly praised on her production which ab7y carries on the reputation her pTays have al- r:ady acquired. page 72 THE LAGONDAN ORGANIZATIOK JUNIQR PLAY The Austin Strong play, Three Wise Fools, was selected by the Junior class for their 1930 production. It was unquestionably the best play of this year, with one exception, and, some critics say, the best play that has been given here for the past several years. While each cast member was excellent, the greatest praise must go, perhaps, to the Hve principals, Marietta Martinez, Richard Gibson, Leon Snyder, Morrell Wilmer and Don Trees. On account of the comparative youth of these people, the play was remarka- ble in the extreme of maturity of style and expression. Marietta demonstrated by her interpre- tation and understanding of her part that she possesses unusual promise that deserves to be developed. Her acting was mature and Hnished, presenting such a performance as is rarely given by a high school student. Opposite her, and delightfully exemplifying youth and its high impetuosity, Richard Gib- son, as wealthy, idle, and altogether likeable Gordon Schuyler, scored a very real triumph. Admirably suited to the part, he distinguish- ed himself by his versatility and easy stage manners. Leon, Don and Morrell as the three wise fools were a trio who were well chosen as to type and characterization. Morrell was the only one of the three who had had very much experience on the stage, but the inexperience of the other two was apparently no very great obstacle. Morrell seemed to live his part on the stage and gave a very interesting and absorbing study of the iinancier, Findley. As Judge Trumbull, Don proved himself an actor of sympathy and sincerity. His part was a very popular one with the audience. Leon as Dr. Gaunt endeared himself in the part immediately and went on to the iinish of the play with almost consummate skill. The other girl in the play was Helen Winterringer who played the part of Mrs. Saunders who kept house for the wise fools. Helen was an excellent person for the part and did very nice acting. She will be useful in other plays next year. Bob Durrin was a crooked crook, all right, and played his part with a great deal of character understanding for the actions. He was, really was Benjamin Surrat during the play. Gray, the butler, was carried very well by Tom Hamilton. Kenneth VVatkins played Poole, the footman, with distinction. Paul Johnson as John Crawshay, Sid- ney's father was emotionally very good. An actor of little experience made Paul's charac- terization especially noteworthy. James Osborne, lVilbur Clark and James Calvert all played their roles with sincerity and sureness. Again let us say that Miss Headrick is to be complimented on the high class of work which she has turned out, especially with reference to this play. 1 ORGANIZATION THE LAGONDAN Page '73 PHILCD SOCIETY After another successful year in W. H. S. we again welcome the end of a school year and find the three societies deciding which one shall have the sweepstakes for the year, in the different contests which are carried on between societies. Although the Philos do not hold their usual first place this year, they have come out second in total points. In the football ticket sale the Philos took second and in the basketball ticket sale they took third place. In the society basketball competition be- tween the three organizations, the Philo's de- feated the Die Bestes, but were defeated in the final game by the Alpha's. The Philo society was very well repre- sented in the music and forensic contests and if they had done as well in the others as they did in this one, first place would have been assured. Some of the people who were prom- inent in this field were, Bob Myers, boys' low voice and violin, girls' low voice, Marie Glassg piano, Marjorie Cole: oratory, Wayne Henderson: declamation, Katherine Burgeg extemporaneous speaking, Pearl Buckmang and Marietta Martinez won two firsts in in- terpretative reading. In society track meet, the Philo's took third place. Boys who lent assistance to the winning of this place are Kirkwood, Will- iams, and Warren, London, and Winters. The annual play showed considerable talent in the ranks, for Pals First was a very popular play, given at the first of the year. Large crowds made comfortable gate receipts. In looking over the success of the society for the term, we must not forget our sponsors who have helped greatly in our sucess. The head sponsor is Helen Moffet, who with the assistance of Grace Karr, Erma Britton, Olin Scott, John Lowe, and Florence Knepp kept the spirit of the Philo's alive. We were led to our success by Fernando Cook, the president and Louise Richards, our efficient secretary. Very little could have been accomplished without such leaders and the society certainly owes a lot to these two. The following people have done much for the sociegy in general ways: Wayne Hender- son, Morrell Wilmer, Marietta Martinez, Eva Compton, Van Holtby, Carl Gordon, Perry Martinez, Ruth Barker, Evelyn Stephenson, Dwain Reid, John Crawford, Bob Myers, and many others too numerous to mention.

There are 166 members and they are all loyal, true Die Bestes. The so- ciety officers are, Jack Spence, president, Bert Watson, Vice-President, and Helen Mc- Kay, secretary. The Die Bestes presented the play The Mystery Man, October 24 and 25. This was the first mystery play of its kind ever pre- sented in Winfield high and it was a big success. Members of the cast were Otis Hadley, Richard Gibson, Leon Snyder, Don Parsons, Keith Green, Albright Collinson, Forrest Sands, George Brooner, Kenneth Hodge, Darby Stites, Charlotte Bangs, Bessie Lu Henthorne, Dorothy Gentry, and Lillian Hodges. The annual party was held in Recreation Hall, January 3, and about 90 persons at- tended. Games were played and a short pro- gram was presented after which refresh- ments were served. They participated in many of the activities. During the year many Die Bestes won places in music or forensics. Darby Stites won fourth place in the Oratorical contest, while in the dramatic reading contest, Betty Lowther won second. The Die Bestes have participated ini basketball ticket sale, football ticket sale, third, inter-society basketball contest third, inter-society music contest, second, inter- society track, second. Some of the prominent members of the society are Gretchen Bower, Junior Frey, Edith Fisher, Betty Lowther, Darby Stites, Avanelle Maitland, George Lancaster, Ken- neth Watts, Raymond Hagan, Helen Dunlap, Lucile Reeve and Mable Nye. The boys going out for track this year were James Maddox, Marion Winters, Albert Sullivan, Bert Watson, Keith Green, Wilson Hahn and Forrest Peterson.

Since these are included in the inter-society contests there is always much rivalry among the Alpha's, Philo's, and Die Beste's as to which one will win the most contests and claim the sweep- stakes at the end of the year. The Alpha's u11der the efficient leader- ship of Max Sturm got away with most every thing this year. They did exceptionally well and as the Lagondan goes to press find them- selves well in the lead. Early in the year the Alpha's showed their punch when they sold as many football tickets as the other two societies sold to- gether. The basket ball ticket sale was also won by the Alphas. Ticket captains who were especially efficient were Betty Lu Lynn, Ken- neth Watkins, Jim Jarvis, Olen Quesenberry, and Tom Hamilton. The Alphas also won the Inter-Society Basketball tournament for the third consecu- tive time. Doc's team which defeated 0. B. Scott's team of Philos in the finals, included Jay Nichols, center, John Taton and Max Sturm, forwards, .lack Poole and Harvey Tesch, guards. Almost ninety loyal Alphas attended the annual Alpha party held in Recreation Hall where they were entertained with a well- planned program. The Alpha society was ably represented in the music and forensics contests by Thom- as Emmitt, boys' high voice: Maxine Harp, girls' high voiceg Tom Hamilton, boys' low voice, and in oratory, Louise Focks, declama- tion, Max Sturm and John Moore, oratory and extemporaneous speaking. The society track meet proved to be one of the closest contests of the year, as the outcome was uncertain until the last event with the Alpha's winning the meet by one- half point. The Alpha tracksters were Ken- neth McFarland, Dean Drennan, Harvey Tesch, Demoree Haydock, Lamar Aringdale, Glen Wilt and Max Sturm. Kenneth McFar- land proved to be the most valuable man of the meet by winning 1816 ponits. Our posters this year have been produced by Joe Robinson and Kenneth Watkins, and they have been very striking posters. The society sponsors, Helen Johnson, Hesper St. John, Forrest Rambo, Katherine Van Keuren, R. L. Heischman and Harvey Douglas have cooperated with the society officers, Max Sturm, Martha Jean Roach and Chester Hamm in all undertakings and have made this year one of the most successful years in the history of the Alpha society.

McCray, the senior high orchestra again suc- ceeded in winning several more trophies for the show case and quite a lot of money for the student activity fund. XVe feel that such a record as We made this year could not have been accomplished by any other music master and every member of the Ol'1jllPf'lf.l'3 holds Mr. McCray in comradeship and esteem. In the Wichita Ark Valley Music contest on March 8, although handicapped by the absences of several members on account of sickness, the orchestra still managed to rank Iirst with six other orchestras contending. XVe feel that this is quite an accomplishnieiit. In the Southwestern Music and Forensic contest on March 27 and 28 we won Iirst place again receiving a cash prize of a hundred dollars and a plaque. During the year a series of concerts were given by the music department and in two of them, the orchestra figured largely. The concerts were all Well presented and while the balance seemed occasionally faulty, by the end of the year we had all that corrected, and were able to win these two contests. Congratulations, Mr. McCray. Several members of the orchestra wont individual honors at the contests. Bob Myersl tied for second in violin at Wichita while at! Southwestern, Jack Cuthbertson won first in trombone, Loren Mathews, first in clarinet, - Annabelle Vaughn, first place in fluteg Betty Barbour, first in 'cello and second place in QRCHESTRA composition, and Mary Christine Driver took second place in piano, thereby winning for us the Iirst place in the entire contest by the points each one allowed ns. We were proud of the splendid work Miss Peter and Mr. Mc- Cray have accomplished this year.

Under the instruction and coaching of Miss Lois Peter, the string sec- tion made rapid progress and certainly helped materially in the winning of the prizes we took in. One member of the orchestra was in the string ensemble coached by Miss Peter, Al- lene Bennett, the concert mistress of the jun- iors. Several members were also in the senior orchestra. Many individual honors were won by junior high people at the S. C. contest. George Robinson won iirst place ill cornetg Kenton Collinson won second in flute, Wayne Sea- man won third in clarinet, Allene Bennett won lirst in violin, Mary Christine Driver Iirst in piano: Winifred Jones a second in 'cello, and last but far from least, the or- chestra won first place and a prize of S50 dollars. Our string ensemble also won iirst place and a prize of Iifty dollars.

Page '78 THE LAGONDAN ORGANIZATION BAND The band this year was up to the old standard of excellence. Heretofore, it has sometimes been Weak on ensemble but this year it was chiefly the ensemble and organ- like effects which won for it second place at Southwestern. Mr. McCray achieved some remarkable effects with the band which was highly spok- en of by the judges out at Southwestern, and the bands against which we competed were much larger and seemed formidable, but the sheer worth of Winfield's musicianship won second place for us. Several band members won individaul honors for themselves in the contest. Loren Mathews won iirst in clarinet. He had some good competition and did exceedingly well. As he is only a freshman, much will be ex- pected of him in the future. Jack Cuthbert- son won first in trombone. As he, too, is but a freshman, his Winning over older and more experienced players makes his success seem more remarkable. Annabelle Vaughn who won first in flute is a sophomore and has much to look forward to as a musician. This group has also been one of the most helpful ones throughout the year in the mat- ter of furnishing pep and enthusiasm in our assemblies and athletic contests. There was never a pep assembly held without the band doing its share of the entertaining. No mat- ter what athletic game was on, the band was always on hand. Sometimes the crowd failed to uphold the second team members in their games but the band was always there. The junior high team was always ably supported by the band also. More than once this group of musicians drew some very favorable com- ment from visiting teams and quite often the local rooters would listen to a number between halves that made them realize that the blue and white athletes were backed by a band that was second to none. The band is composed of forty members: cornets-Richard Gibson, Max Sturm, Mar- ian Wainscott, Vernon Brown, George Rob- inson, Iden Reese, clarinets-Loren Mathews, Bertha McGinn, Loren Wade, Josephine Cron, Charles Hadley, Dwight Fulton, Wayne Sea- man, Richard McManis, Waldo Wills, Cecil Fielder, trombones-Jack Savage, Harofd Hartzell, Jack Cuthbertsong baritone-Tom Hamilton, tubas-Merritte Zirkle, Kenneth Rose ,Claude Patton, French horns-Morrell Wilmer, John McGregor, Regene McMillen, Tom McCray, flutes-Annabelle Vaughn, Kenton Collinson, Mary Estelle Elliott, saxo- phones-Paul Trees, Laura Clark, Alyce Boyles, Albright Collinson, Richard Jarvis! bassoon-Carl Stutzman, Bob Brown, drums -Bob Myers, Jack Spence, oboe-Jay Hol- man. ORGANIZATION THE LAGONDAN Page 79 GIRLS' CHCRUS The girls' chorus this year was one which achieved much. Composed of forty girls picked from a class of about eighty, they were selected for blend as well as quality of voice and an imposing group they were. Their voices on some of the songs were posi- tively inspiring and the crescendo and di- minuendo was smoothly done, showing much concentrated effort and work. The improve- ment over the choruses of previous years was very noticeable and remarked an ensemble perfection rarely seen in a high school group. At the Wichita contest on March 3, the girls' chorus, while apparently in good trim did not place, but one of the members, Max- ine Harp, won first, singing the lullaby with which she won first in the high school con- test. Maxine has a maturity of tone and a breadth which is simply surprising in one so young. Her stage manners are very pleas- ing and she makes a distinct impression. At the Southwestern contest they fared somewhat better and won first place and a cash prize of fifty dollars. The results were very gratifying to the group who had worked hard for this end. The girls' quartet, composed of Maxine Harp, Pauline Snyder, Mildred Watkins and Marie Glass, had a great deal of success. They were considered one of the best quar- tets ever heard in the state of Kansas, and won first at the Wichita contests and first at the Southwestern contest where they receiv- ed a lovely plaque. These winnings certainly cheered the heart of all who were backing our music de- partment and justified our faith in them. The members of the chorus are: Gladys Ahlerich, Helen Ahlerich, Doris Allen, June Anglemeyer, Ruth Becker, Gretchen Bower, Flossie Brown, Glenda Buker, Marian Bun- ner, Kathryn Burge, Roselyn Burgauer, Mar- jorie Cole, Helen Carroll, Blanche Cottom, Georgia Couchman, Wava Derusha, Evelyn De Witt, Pearl Early, Mary Esch, Jewell Featherston, Violet Fielder, Louise Focks, Castella Fowler, Marcella Fralic, Lucille Gar- ner, Josephine Gilmer, Marie Glass, Lois Greenleaf, Ethlyn Harp, Maxine Harp, Gertie Hinshaw, Ida Hinshaw, Marie Howe, Char- lotte Irons, Alberta Johnson, Helen Johnson, Winifred Jones, Grace King, Anna Kunzman, Marie Kooyers, Hazel Lewis, Helen Lewis, Betty Logsdon, Avanelle Maitland, Viola Moffett, Dorothy Muret, Pearl Neal, Rose- mary Nilsson, Jocelyn Parsons, Nina Powers, Frances Revelette, Juanita Rhi11e, Rita Rich- ardson, Martha Robinson, Mildred Ruggles, Inez Saye, Harriett Scott, Dorothy Sharp, Pauline Sneed, Pauline Snyder, Zola Staley, Beatrice Stites, Eleanor Sturm, Margaret Tanner, Doilothy Tharp, Hazel Thornton, Genevieve Warburton, Mildred Watkins, Bessie Wheeler, Bernice Wooddell, Evadna Yount, Erma Yoss, Erna Yoss, Margaret Rob- erts, Eolin Jones, Ruth Finch, and Loretta Bumgardner. - A W ,, '- Page S0 ORGANIZATION MALE CHQRUS Although there has not been as much in- terest in male chorus work in Winfield high as there should be, the organization has nevertheless improved in numbers as well as in the quality of work. The group is not a large one, there are only thirty members, but under the excellent leadership of Mr. McCray they have accomplished some good qualities that are imperative for a good performance. The voices were well balanced and blended to make an excellent musical group. At Wichita this group carried away sec- ond place in the Arkansas Valley music con- test which means no small accomplishment when the competition with which they were contesting is taken into consideration. VVhile this group was not able to drag down a first place in the Southwestern contest held at Southwestern College, Winfield, they never- theless combined their efforts with the mem- bers of the girls' chorus to form a large mixed chorus and copped first place in this event. If this aggregation of boys can continue to improve as they have been in the past two years. Winfield high will be boasting the fin- est male glee club in this part of tl1e country. VVhile their ensemble has seemed some- what faulty and the pitch seemed off at the first of the year, the chorus by combined ef- fort and cooperation, overcame the handicap and gained the signal honors they won this season. The whole honor goes to Mr. McCray who with raw material and untrained voices organized and wove together such a medley of excellent voices. Winfield will lose one of the finest music directors she has ever had when Mr. McCray leaves this year. In the concerts given this year by the music department, the male chorus sang very well and only gave proof of what they were to do later on. While the boys' quartet did not place this year, they were an excellent group whose fin- ished singing won for them much favorable comment. They were: VVilson Hahn, Bob Myers, Otis Hadley and Charles Dalton . The members of male chorus are: James Bays, George Baxter, XVi1bur Benner, VVilbur Clark, Albright Collinson, Donald Curfman, Charles Dalton, Dean Drennan, VVilson Hahn, Chester Hamm, Lawrence Horton, Lloyd Hut- ton, XVesley Keasling, Clifford Muret, Fred Rush, Max Schwantes, Adolphus Smith, Jack Spence, Henry Trinkle, Bert lVatson, Kenneth Workman, Grace Osborne faccompanistl, Dwain Reed, Dwight Fulton, John Crawford, Pat Maher, Don Williams, Marion Winters, Don Parsons, George Guy, Kenneth NVatkins, Harold Abildgaard, Jack Stewart and Ken- neth Hassinger. 0 .QQQA mmm THE LAGONDAN Page 81 MIXED CHQRUS The mixed chorus is an organization ill which much interest is taken. During the past two years much enthusiasm was stim- ulated in both girls' and boys' choruses and the fine mixed chorus of this year is the result. Because there is no special class period for mixed chorus, the students in it took evening after evening off after school to practice long Hlld diligently and they saw their efforts rewarded. The chorus of seventy members was so large that often the effect brought about by Mr. McCray was truly impressive in scope of tone and general musical feeling. They had a very real atmosphere of distinction in treatment of tone coloring. All these efforts were not expended in vain. At the Wichita music contests we took first place which gave us eleven points toward sweepstakes. There were six schools competing against us but, VV. H. S., as usual, triumphed. At Southwestern, the mixed group placed first and won a cash prize of fifty dollars. Considering the competition met in these various events, it was felt that these win- nings were truly remarkable. Perhaps there is no more fitting place to pay our tribute to Mr. McCray than here at the close of the music section. Mr. McCray saw lit to accept a position of advancement and leave W. H. S. As a teacher and friend, Mr. McCray has been 0116 of the most popular and most universally well-liked teacher that there has been in the high school and he has many friends in the town who will be as sorry to see him leave as his associates here in school. It is felt that everyone feels inordinately proud of the last two years' achievements. Mr. McCray has laid an excellent foundation for further progress, with the cooperation and help of Miss Peters, and one from which future years will reap many benefits. VVe are sorry to see you go, Mr. McCray, but we wish you all success wherever you may be. The members of the mixed group are: Winifred Jones, Betty Logsdon, Pauline Snyder, Marie Glass, Eleanor S t u r m, Gretchen Bower, Lois Greenleaf, Martha Rob- inson, Ethelyn Harp, Dorothy Tharp, Mar- cella Fralic, Hazel Thornton, Marie Kooyers, Marjorie Cole, Grace King, Frances Revelette, Evadna Yount, Eolin Jones, Louise Focks, Jewell Featherstone, Avanelle Maitland, Georgia Couchman, Maxine Harp, Inez Saye, Alberta Johnson, Mary Esch, Kathryn Burge, Viola Moffett, Helen Johnson, Bernice Wood- dell, Don Parsons, Bert Watson, Bob Myers, Wilbur Clark, Toni Hamilton, Kenneth Has- singer, Otis Hadley, Adolphus Smith, Max Schwantes, Wilbur Benner, Dean Drennen, Wilson Hahn, Charles Dalton, Jack Spence, Donald Curfman, Fred Rush, James Bangs, George Guy. Page 82 THE LAGONDAN ORGANIZATIOA JU ICR HIGH GIRL RESER E The Junior High Girl Reserve Club, with a membership of two hundred and twenty-six and willing club officers and sponsors, has truly achieved success for the year 1929-30. The Girl Reserve club was organized seven years ago and is now a part of the national movement of the Y. W. C. A. Any girl in the junior high school who accepts the code, slogan, and purpose of the club is eligible for membership. The club aims to bring a broader life and a richer develop- ment of natural abilities to every member and to foster a spirit of friendliness among all girls of the junior high. The aims of the national organization are To tind and give the best, to face life squarely, and to help others sincerely. The club's program is planned and di- rected by an executive committee of faculty sponsors and assisted by town sponsors called Triangle Mothers. The faculty sponsors are Christine Wells, Helen McCune, Faith Pierce, Nina Hellar, Willma Tullis, Gladys Cronemeyer, Thelma Greenwood, Helen Free- burg and Pearl Bartholmeau. The town sponsors are Mrs. J. E. Morris, Mrs. D. A. Holland, Mrs. Paul Guy, Mrs. Lynn Monroe, Mrs. Earl Seymour, Mrs. Clem Rembaugh, Miss Eva Rosecrans, Miss Esther Brown and Miss Blanche Gafney. The program includes one regular devo- tional meeting every two weeks with triangle meeting on alternate weeks. Each triangle is composed of about -twenty-five girls under the direction of a leader, program chairman, V l secretary-treasurer, faculty sponsor, and town sponsor. The triangles had Bible study based on Hulbert's Stories of the Bible. The devotional meetings which are plan- ned by the program committee and faculty sponsor, have been on such topics as World Fellowship, Vocational Guidance, A True Girl Reserve, The Girl Reserve Code, and a number of musical programs. Outstanding social events of the year were the Big and Little Sister party at the llrst of the year, the reception for the Mothers, Halloween party, the Christmas party for the children of the Lutheran Home, the Dad and Daughter banquet on Valentines Day, Christmas in Other Lands by the Tri- angle Mothers, New Year's dedication service, Recognition service for the new members, Ring Ceremonial, and Installation Service. Thanksgiving baskets were taken to families in need. Rings were given to the girls who met certain G. R. requirements. Officers for 1929-30 were as follows! president, Lois Smithg vice-president and membership committee chairman, Allene Bennettg secretary and social chairman, Er- nestine Morrisg treasurer and service chair- man, Maudine Cliftg program chairman, Gwyndean McCracken, devotional chairman, Helen Gamble, music chairman, Pauline Snyder: poster chairman ,Iris Mae Hubbarti publicity chairman, Edith Hawkinsg and pianist, Mary Christine Driver.

They had over two hundred members, an excellent set of sponsors, both t0Wll and school, and a well organized, capable cabinet. The season came to a close with a good feeling of good will and eagerness for another year of service and friendship. The officers of this year were elected by popular vote of last year's club. The presi- dent, Margaret Zeigler moved to California before school, so immediately after school started Gretchen Bower, Vice-President, took charge and later she was formally installed as president by the cabinet at one of the regular meetings held the first W'ednesday in every month at four o'clock. The cabinet meetings of this year we1'e different from those of other years in that a lunch is served at live-thirty to the cabinet after the business has been transacted. Each committee head and sponsor took turns pre- paring and serving the lunch. The club meetings went forward as usual this year at 10220 every Tuesday morning, the programs ranging from one act plays to prominent speakers. Every month the town sponsors have charge of a meeting when they present an original program. Some of the best programs of this year were presented by the town sponsors. On each third Tuesday committee meetings were held in the com- mittee sponsor's room, and each committee had to give one program during the year. Several special programs were given this yeari the installation service, candle lighting service, Christmas service and Easter ser- vice were perhaps the most impressive. At Thanksgiving we prepared and gave away dinner baskets to the poor in town and on Christmas a party for fifteen little girls was given. Probably no other way could be found to accomplish so much good. We also sent our annual 5525.00 to Miss Brown in China and a box of necessities to Mrs. Helen Butler, an invalid, in a sanatarium in Colo- rado. The annual Girl Reserve play, Miss Somebody Else, was a huge success and brought us in some money for our ordinary expenses and for our Estes Park fund. Other ways of making money were candy sales, cooky sales, doughnut sales and Viking Dolls. Our sponsors werei Miss De Turk, Miss Headrick, Miss Karr, Miss Knepp, Miss John- son and Miss Nye. The town sponsors werei Mrs. Claude Martin, Mrs, N. F. Fall, Mrs. VV. T. Orr, Mrs. R. B. Dunlevy, Mrs. VV. S. Brady, Mrs. N. Lapsley, Mrs. C. W. Ralls, Mrs. George Gar- ver, Mrs. E, H.

Page SQ THE LAGONDAN ORGANIZATION JUNIOR H1-Y Create, maintain, and extend through- out the school and community, high stand- ards of Christian character, is the slogan of the Hi-Y. Each new applicant for member- ship has to sign the slogan before he can become a member of the club. The XVinfield Junior Hi-Y Club has a membership of 96. The members are divided up into ten groups. Each group has a captain and all contests, which are held within the club, are carried out through a contest between the groups. At the first of the year we had a basket-ball contest. It was held for four consecutive Saturday mornings. The boys enjoyed this very much and it proved to be a very suc- cessful venture. Bob Browns team Won from VVilbert Smiscl1ney's team in the iinals The club held a track meet also this semester. This contest was also carried on between groups. At the beginning of school a hike was planned for the boys paying their dues. The dues are fifty C911tS a year. Twenty-tive cents of this goes to the state fund and the other amount stays in our home office. The money that was kept for the home office was partly spent on the hike. It proved very successful and helped get our new year started right, with much enthusiasm in the Hi-Y. This year the Junior Hi-Y sponsored a lyceum number. XVe had the pleasure of having Clem Morgan. He is a K. F. H. en- tertainer. The Junior Hi-Y had three delegates to the State Convention which was held in VVichita. They Werei Junior Lowther, Ber- nard VVoodard, and John McGregor. This year the Junior Hi-Y went in with the Senior Hi-Y and having a father and son banquet. It was held on Friday, May 2. At this banquet the installation of new officers was held. The main speaker of the evening was Bruce W. Tallman, who is the State Boys' secretary. About twenty boys have signiiied that they may he able to attend Camp Wood this sum- mer. Camp Wood is the State Boys' Camp at E mdale, Kansas. The junior high period this year is from June 23-July 2. Last year six boys attended Camp VVood from Junior Hi-Y. The treasury of the Junior Hi-Y is in a much better standing than it was when school started. During this year We have pledged money to the State Hi-Y, L. K. Hall Fund, and a'so to bring a boy to the National Hi-Y Convention, from Europe, which is to be held in Canada next year. Ending the year our treasurer reports over thirty dollars in the treasury. The success of the Hi-Y has to be divided between two men. They are L. C. Monroe and R. E. Titus who have the sponsors of the Hi-Y this year. Without the splendid cooperation of these two sponsors the Junior Hi-Y would not have accomplished as many things as they have this year. The Junior Hi-Y has a cabinet who sets the rules of the club and who also plans all of the meetings. The boys on the cabinet are as followsi John lVIcGregor, presidentg Har- old Hartze'l, vice-presidentg Bernard VVood- ard, secretaryg Robert Pinks, treasurerg program chairman, VVilliam Hollibaughg Bible study chairman, Iden Reeseg WorYd brother chairman, Junior Lowther: service chairman, Keith Coadg seventh grade repre- sentative, Hershell Shockey.

The club is composed of sixty of the out- standing clean living boys of the senior high school. Its purpose is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and coni- munity high standa1'ds of Christian char- acter. Weekly meetings are held every Tuesday morning at 10120 during the activity period. The membership is always open to boys that can qualify for and that will sign the pledge. The executive body is the cabinet of twelve composed of the officers and committee chair- men. They hold their meetings every Tucs- day morning at 7:15, before school, all of the work of the club is carried on through var- ious committees. The Bible Study committee has charge of every other meeting. To acquaint thc high school boys more with the Bible is our aim. This is done by discussion and ex- planations from the ministers and religious men of the city. lVluch was accomplished in this line during the year. This comniittef is to be highly praised for its efforts to pro- vide meetings of the best type for the purpose of studying the Bible. The program committee and World Brotherhood committee alternated with the rest of the meetings. Some programs of en- tertainment by music, stories, readings, and of other races. One program each month is given over to this connnittee. Boys from other races talked and told of their desire to create a greater feeling for international relationship. A The iinance cominittee has its sole pur- pose to keep the club with sufficient funds by promoting different money making projects. The first was the lli-Y refreshment stand at the County Fair in the spring of 1929. Then M1'. Vaughan's great production the Min- strel was put on two nights in the high school auditorium. Refreshment stands were run at the football and basketball games all during the year. Campaigns ot' anti-tobacco, Sunday School, thrift, friendship, and world brother- hood have been carried on during the year. The final big event, for the club was the Father and Son Banquet held May 2. This was carried on jointly with the junior Hi-Y and a good banquet was enjoyed by all. By carrying on the year's program in this manner different seals of awards were given, and by fulfilling these requirements it enabled the club to receive the advanced certiticate of award which ranked the Win- tield Hi-Y one of the best in the state.

Its purpose is to receive for discussion, approval or amendment questions relative to school government. Its further duty is to conduct the all school election held at the end of each year. They discuss and carry out resolu- tions for the betterment of school life. The last year annual school election elected the officers for this year, Bob Myers, president, Betty Lu Lymi, vice-president, and My1'tle Ross, secretary. T. H. Vaughan is the only sponsor of the Student Council. After school began this year each home room selected one representative and one alternate who served for one semester. At the begin- ning of the new semester the old officers were reinstated or new ones chosen keeping the membership in the council limited to twenty-one members and three officers. The election for this year was run off in a very capable manner by the election com- mittee: Myrtle Ross, chairman, Roger Kirk- wood, Betty Lu Lynn, Marietta Martinez, Donald Parsons and Max Sturm. The banking act was passed to further the deposits that were made in banking and the banking was taken over by the council whereas it had previously been in charge of the lli-Y.

After the first week or two of school, study on the text having provided a suitable background on which to base his decisions, Mr. Roberts selected the following editorial staff which was so carefully selected that very few changes were made during the year: Editor-in-chief - - - Neva Rounds Associate editor - Mary Janet McDonald Copy chief - - Vierdonia Shockey Assistant copy chief - Editor of Page 2 - - Editor of page 3 Sports Editor - - Exchange Editor - - Make-up superintendent - Reporters: Charlotte Bangs, Eva Compton, Betty Herlocker, Mable Nye, Don Parsons, Myr- tle Ross, Helen Welch. For the business staff, no less care was shown in its selection of efficient go-getters who ably managed the financial and circula- tory status of the Oracle Business manager - - Roger Kirkwood Advertising managers - - - Jewel Findley, Martha Jean Roach Circulation manager - Helen Mickleson The individual work of all on the staffs is worth particular mention. There has been possibly no more efficient or hard-working editor than Neva Rounds. She was always on the job and she never kept the printers waiting for copy. Mary Janet McDonald as associate editor wrote many excellent heads and editorials for the Oracle and displayed many latent powers. Vierdonia Shockey, being responsible for all copy, proof-read and corrected nearly everything that went into the paper. She could be depended on to have things done. Assistant copy chief, Opal Hicks, was also responsible for the quality of material print- ed, She was found to be an able and willing aid to Vierdonia. The important position of editor of page two was filled by Frieda Elliott. This page contained the editorials and much of the feature material whose excellent quality was maintained by Frieda and the reporters. Page 3, a strictly feature page was edited by Helen Mickleson. New feature of inter- est to a great majority was Helen's job and one that was well filled as the popularity of page 3 attested. As sports editor, Chet Hamm turned out some of the best copy that was printed in the - Opal Hicks Frieda Elliott Helen Mickleson Chester Hamm Phyllis Richards Wayne Wade x paper. He covered all the sports in a thor- ough manner and gave to the readers all the material obtainable. Our big mailing list and list of exchange was taken care of by Phyllis Richards. Phyllis prepared wrappers, folded and mailed to those schools who wished to exchange copies of the Oracle. She unfailingly fulfill- ed her capacity every Friday. Making the paper up in an attractive form was accomplished by Wayne Wade, the make- up superintendent. His was one of the most important offices to fill and he did it in a capable manner. For the reporters little need be said save that without their thorough covering of their beats, the interesting paper published this year could have been accomplished. They turned in much excellent material. On the business staff, Roger Kirkwood capably directed the financial machinery in general. With his usual dependability, Roger made this one of the most successful finan- cial years the Oracle has enjoyed. Since the advertising brings in most of the money used to finance the Oracle, Jewell Findley and Martha Jean Roach deserve spe- cial mention for their work in this direction. The distribution of all papers was in charge of Helen Mickleson who saw every Friday that everyone who had a paper com- ing, got one. The Oracle also featured this year a monthly magazine section which proved very popular with the student body. Among the many achievements of this year, are the national journalism awards we won. In such a contest Roger Kirkwood won a second for the Oracle on a report he sub- mitted on how to manage a paper. Eva Compton was one of ten national winners on a feature story submitted. Opal Hicks' paper was also sent to this contest. The Oracle it- self received a second place for excellence in the state. Another publication in which much in- terest is taken every year is the annual year- book, The Lagondan. Mr. Roberts appointed this staff of three to work on it: Mable Nye, editor-in-chiefg Myrtle Ross, business man- ager: Eva Compton, copy editor. Mable Nye had charge of the snapshots and general supervision of all other pictures, while Myrtle Ross took care of all money and managed the campaign, and Eva Compton wrote the majority of all copy in the book. Over four hundred books were sold this year which was slightly under our expected quota but which allowed of a book of con- siderably broader scope than that of years previous. OReANIz.xT1oN THE LAGONDAN Page 89 HONOR As usual, around the last of April the honor students were chosen. First the high- est one-third of the senior class was posted, tin previous years it has been the higher one- half of the classj, and from that list each senior was privileged to vote for twenty-five students each of whom he considers and votes for from the standpoint of scholarship, activ- ities, attitude, citizenship and so forth. These are counted and then the list of twenty-five is posted. From this list the faculty elects five on the same basis as the twenty-five are chosen by the class. And finally, another ballot is held by which from the entire class, two students, a boy and a girl, are selected to receive the American Legion Award for Citizenship. These individuals are what the award name implies, the best citizens in W. H. S. As the Lagondan goes to press this award has not as yet been made. The upper third of the 1930 class whose scholastic record has given them so high a rank are: Nellie Abbott, Letitia Beery, Doro- thy Bolton, Marjory Boyd, Nelson Bradbury, Merle Carson, Albright Collinson, Eva Comp- ton, Fernando Cook, Charles Dalton, Hazel Deever, Jewell Findley, Edith Fischer, Jose- phine Gilmer, Carl Gordon, Ima Hall, Wayne Henderson, Betty Herlocker, Opal Hicks, La- Verna Hinkley, Van Holtby, Eunice Jones, Roger Kirkwood, Mary Janet McDonald, Ken- neth McFarland, Bertha McGinn, Norman Maurer, Robert Myers, Marcelle Norris, Mable Nye, Virginia Page, Jocelyn Parsons, Claribel Patterson, Esther Ridings, Myrtle Ross, Neva Rounds, Forrest Sands, Clara Schmidt, Willie Mae Sharp, Paul Shay, Vierdonia Shockey, Delos Shore, Darby Stites, Max Sturm, Carl Stutzman, Jane Swartz, Grace Tanner, Zella Thomas, Charles Vaughn, Fern Wade, Ed- mund Walker, Eldred Wall, Kenneth Watts, Marjorie Wheeler, Rosie Winn, Mildred Wise, Bernadine Younkman. It is a very real honor to be included in this group. The twenty-five chosen by the senior class have an equal honor with the five chosen from them by the faculty. Perhaps no higher honor could be given any person than to know his classmates consider him as deserving of the distinction going to one of the twenty-five honor students. The fortunate ones elected to this honor were: Albright Collinson, Eva Compton, Fer- nando Cook, Edith Fischer, Josephine Gilmer, Carl Gordon, Wayne Henderson, Van Holtby, Roger Kirkwood, Kenneth McFarland, Ber- tha McGinn, Norman Maurer, Robert Myers, Mable Nye, Jocelyn Parsons, Myrtle Ross, Neva Rounds, Forrest Sands, Max Sturm, Grace Tanner, Charles Vaughn, Edmund Walker, Eldred Wall, Kenneth Watts, Rosie Winn, Bernadine Younkman. The five elected by the faculty were: Eva Compton, Wayne Henderson, Roger Kirk- wood, Robert Myers, and Myrtle Ross. To them goes the pleasurable feeling that the faculty members too approve their election in the twenty-five. These five will have, ac- cording to custom, the preparing of the pro- gram for commencement and are supposed to participate in some way themselves. The things the twenty-tive honor stud- ents have participated in are numerous and thoroughly attest their worthiness. In plays nearly every one of the group has taken part, so many that we need men- tion only a few of the most outstanding ones, such as Roger Kirkwood, Myrtle Ross, Wayne Henderson, and many others. In scholarship, Albright Collinson, Eva Compton, Carl Gordon, Van Holtby, Jocelyn Parsons, Myrtle Ross, Edmund Walker, and Rosie Winn, Forrest Sands, Neva Rounds have made creditable standings. In inter-high activities special place must go to Robert Myers who by his many talents participated in nearly every event during school from voice to basketball. His activity record is one of great importance and ably shows how much he has contributed to the school life. He has often been called our most versatile student. Roger Kirkwood, the Hi-Y president: Fernando Cook, the Philo president, Max Sturm, the Alpha president, Wayne Hender- son, the senior president, Neva Rounds, the editor of the Oracle, and Mable Nye, the edi- tor of the Lagondan were all prominent iig- ures in the school life. Norman Maurer, Forrest Sands, Bertha McGinn, Myrtle Ross, Kenneth Watts, Grace Tanner, Eva Compton, Wayne Henderson, Carl Gordon, Eldred Wall and Bernadine Younkman were all outstanding because of their grades. Charles Vaughn, Kenneth McFarland, Bob Myers and Max Sturm all have excellent records in athletics. Max Sturm and Wayne Henderson were prominent in forensics. Taken all in all this year's bunch of grad- uates are a group of worth while people. They will all probably go far in life. Page 90 ORGANIZATIfjN SCHOLARSHIP The scholarship teams of this year were again successful both in tests at home and in tests taken abroad. The different depart- ments have all had enviable records, some of which are elsewhere mentioned, while every- one has done its part toward making this year one of great success and attainment. One of the earliest contests in the year is the contest among the senior boys during the first six weeks period to see who gets the highest grades. The lucky one is chosen hon- orary Rotarian and is entertained at one of the weekly meetings of Rotary. This year Wayne Henderson and Carl Gordon tied for first place. The next six weeks one of the juniors, Leon Snyder, was the representative while during the third six weeks, Harold Holden was selected from the sophomores and John McGregor from the freshman class. This honor while usually going to versa- tile boys is strictly on a scholastic basis. In the extemporaneous contest, Martha Jean Roach and Claribel Patterson repre- sented us in a creditable way while on the debating teams, Louise Richards, Betty Lu Lynn, Louise Focks, Claribel Patterson, Betty Lowther, Kathryn Burge, Savinah Shockey and Lillian Hodges all represented us at one time or another. In oratory, Wayne Hender- son ably upheld the W. H. S. records when he won a second out at Southwestern. In the interpretive reading contests, Marietta Mar- tinez won a first at El Dorado and also at Southwestern. In dramatic reading, Kath- ryn Burge represented the high school. In the 4-H Club interests, Lottie Keas- ling who won a 4-H Club trip to Chicago last December, won third place on a theme con- cerning the International Harvester Com- pany and received 325.00 for a prize. Boyd Waite, another 4-H member, won a S5100 on the best project in eastern Kansas and also S100 for the best all-state project. Boyd also received one of the greatest honors that can be bestowed on any boy-he was elected 4th vice-president of the National Future Farmers Organization of America. Bessie Lu Henthorne won the school Gorgas Memorial essay contest and received a lovely bronze medal. Madeline Cochrum and Gail Franklin won mention in the Pre- liminary Honor list of the National High School Awards Contest, a creative writing contest sponsored by some of the leading magazines, by the excellence of two stories they submitted in the sport stories division. In the typing contest held at Winfield this year we entered ten students. First year students were Edna Marie Porth, Myrtle Ross, Glenn Gray, Helen Welch and Neva Rounds. Second year students were Marie Glass, Marjorie Wheeler, Merle Carson, Rosie Winn, and Eunice Jones. Winfield placed first in second year accuracy by Marjorie Wheeler, and fourth in iirst year accuracy by Myrtle Ross. Second and third places were taken in novice speed by Neva Rounds and Edna Porth, fifth and seventh places were won in second year speed by Marie Glass and Marjorie Wheeler making a total number of points which placed Winfield second with 9 points to 11 points by Ark City, while in the first year group we placed second with 18.5 points against 19.5 by Ark City. In the state test that is sent out, Winfield placed sixth in the whole contest and in ranking we were first in proportion to the number of typing students entered in the contest which was nearly twice that of any other school. At the Pittsburg scholarship contest on April 12, we sent a large group of represen- tatives who won for us second place in the entire contest which is supposed to be tri- state. We were very successful, winning seven iirsts, five seconds and one third place. These are the people who placed and their winnings: Hazel Deever, clothing II, second, Thomas Emmitt, cabinet making, first, Marie Glass, shorthand, firstg William Hollibaugh, Latin, second, Van Holtby, woodworking, firstg Grace Osborne, English II, first! Esther Ridings, biology, thirdg Joe Robinson, draw- ing, secondg Evelyn Stephenson, English II, secondg Mable Townsend, clothing I, first, Edmund Walker, woodworking, second, James Wallace, printing, lirstg Rosie Winn, bookkeeping, first. Returns from the senior scholarship at Arkansas City, from the Manhattan examina- tions or from the Emporia division at Wich- ita have not been received at this time, but Winfield was again represented by people whose ability can be depended on and we will probably win many more events before the end of school. The entire list of people who went to Pittsburg this year is as follows: Kathryn Burge, Albright Collinson, Eva Compton, Helen Conley, Martha Cox, Hazel Deever, Thomas Emmitt, Rankin Fink, Marie Glass, Ima Hall, Bessie Lu Henthorne, William Hollibaugh, Van Holtby, Marietta Martinez, John Moore, Grace Osborne, Jocelyn Parsons, Lila Ramage, Louise Richards, Esther Rid- ings, Joe Robinson, Myrtle Ross, Forrest Sands, Delos Shore, Dorothy Snyder, Evelyn Stephenson, Mabel Townsend, Edmund Walk- er, James Wallace, Lola Winn and Rosie Winn. , Practically this same list was included with some additions and was sent to Wichita to participate in the Emporia divisions schol- arship tests. QRGANIZATIQN P096 91 SENIOR PLAY A modern play of extraordinary interest and one of excellent plot and style was seen for three nights when, on April 24, 25 and 26, the seniors presented Skidding, a three act comedy-drama by Aurania Rouveral. A fitting close for the 120 dramatic sea- son, Skidding was a play as different from the other plays of this year as they have been different among themselves. Very modern, very witty, and very skilfully presented, Winfield theatre goers witnessed a definite change in the trend of the average high school play. Mr. Casburn deserves special mention both for the careful coaching he gave the cast and for seeking the better drama to present. In balance the play was perfect for each of the ten parts could be considered equally important. Martha Jean Roach, a promising actress and one we have seen before played the part of Marion, a young college political-science major who was concerned chiefly with giving up either her marriage or her career. Martha Jean has previously exhausted all adjectives in description of her high standards of act- ing. Opposite her, and a relief from the fev- erish over-done heroes in the ordinary play, Don Parsons played with consummate skill the part of Wayne Trenton, Marion's fiance. Charlotte Bangs gave a sympathetic and natural poise to the part of Aunt Milly who realized finally her mistake in never marry- ing. Possibly no other person in the high school could have so artistically portrayed the character Charlotte took. Helen Welch is a part far removed from the type of part she is usually given demon- strated her ability in an astonishing revela- tion of versatile emotional character. She was splendid in her role of the unworldly, lovable mother who tried so hard to under- stand the family's modernities. Opposite Helen and playing, too, a role little assumed by him, that of the father. Wayne Henderson gave an excellent account of himself. Spontaneous stage ease seemed never to leave him and he was always a figure of much interest. Perry Martinez, the young boy who is ab- sorbed in nothing so much as cross-word puzzles and general comfort and ease, was a real riot. Perry succeeded in making every man in the audience remember exactly how he felt when he was called upon to go to a party or escort a girl any place. Myra, played by Josephine Gilmer, was one of the married daughters whose husband was too whimsical and really didn't under- stand her needs anyway, so she decided the only possible thing was to come home. While Estelle, played by Bernadine Younkman, had a worse trouble to combat. Her husband never took her any place and never lavished any gifts of any kind on her. In both parts, the two girls were happy selections for the parts and played them in a modern realism that it would have been thought impossible for high school students to achieve. Billy Hoppe had another of the character parts in which he so excels. He was grand- father Hardy, an old man shaken by palsy, marveling at the changes made in the world both industrially and socially. Billy kept in his part admirably and gave a characteriza- tion that an experienced professional might envy. Wayne, as Judge Hardy, was running for a judge's office so of course there had to be a campaign manager and Albright Collinson put the proper atmosphere to the small but significant part of Mr. Stubbins the excitable election manager. Albright gave a genuine political flavor to the scenes. In general summary, the senior play was a consummate achievement and the best high school production we have seen for a long time. Each play this year has been a separate success and has easily set a new water mark in W. H. S. and to these three people go the credit for such phenomenal success, Mr. Cas- burn, Miss Headrick, and Miss Pierce. The senior cast was: Aunt Milly - - - Charlotte Bangs Andy - - - Perry Martinez Mrs. Hardy - - - Helen Welch Judge James Hardy - Wayne Henderson Grandpa Hardy - - - Billy Hoppe Estelle Hardy Campbell - - - - - - Bernadine Younkman Marion Hardy - Martha Jean Roach Wayne Trenton, III - - Don Parsons Mr. Stubbins - - Albright Collinson Myra Hardy Wilcox - Josephine Gilmer Page 92 ORQANIZATIQN BASKETBALL tContinueCU iContinued from Page 583 work and were beginning to lay away a large margin when the gun went off with the score at 27-16 and Ark City went home defeated. During this same week, we managed to bag the second Wichita North game by an overwhelming margin. The game showed definite improvement in the local team's offense while the defense was well main- tained. The score was 33-10, and gave us much encouragement for our next game which we played with Newton. Newton just simply didn't want to have Winfield beat them this year, so, presenting the cleverest basketball the Vikings encount- ered this year they captured the contest with a score of 18-13. This, however, was not accomplished until after a fierce struggle, with the local squad tying the score in the third quarter. This game almost cinched the Ark Valley championship for Newton. Winfield made sure of third place in the Ark Valley by their next victory over the Wellington Crusaders. This proved to be a much faster game than the first one encoun- tered with the Sumner crew and resulted in a 14-10 win for the locals. The Vikings, in this game presented an almost perfect defense which kept the Wellington crew at long range from their scoring hoop. By stopping Ralph Graham, scoring ace of the Ark Valley League, the Vikings next took El Dorado into camp with a score of 24-17. The scoring showed Winfield in the lead until the third quarter when the El Dorado crew took a short scoring spurt which put them in the lead 12-10. This did not last long, however, as the Vikings immed- iately got busy and rolled up several points to give them a safe margin. The Winfield Vikings took a firmer hold on third place in the Ark Valley when they defeated the Ark City Bull Dogs 26-20. The Bull Dogs led at the end of the first two stanzas as a result of their long shooting guards caging most of their points from far down the court. Peterson was the only Viking that seemed to be able to find the hoop during the first half but received val- uable assistance from Hamm during the sec- ond half. , The Salt Packers frankly expected to win the next game, but by displaying a super- ior type of basketball, the Vikings managed to win. Hutchinson's ace, Magyar, started the fireworks with three successive shots from the corner of the court. This gave the Reno lads a 6 point lead. The second quarter, however, found the Vikings playing a better brand of basketball and from that time on outclassed their rivals. The first half ended 15-11 in favor of the Vikings. This game gave Winfield a chance for a tie for second place in the Ark Valley, but Hutchinson then perform- ed the unexpected and defeated the Newton Railroaders on the Newton court, thus plac- ing themselves in the second place berth and leaving Winfield in third place. The last Ark Valley game of the season for the Vikings was with the Blue Aces of Wichita East high. Coach Thomas' crew were masters of this contest throughout and won with a score of 17-10. In the regional tournament, which was held at Wichita, the Vikings had Halstead as their first opponents. This game was won with a 21-15 score and then Ark City was taken into camp with a 25-15 count. The third game of this tourney, however, proved to be a stumbling block to the Vikings, and they lost this one to Augusta 19-8. Playing with Wichita East in the consolation game of this meet, the Vikings lost by a two point margin. The score was 16-14. The team and Coach Thomas cannot and have not been praised too highly for the a'most phenomenal success that they have had and for the fine spirit and sportsmanship that they have shown throughout the season. , bf Q Qffifawa Q ' 9 X 5 E gg H V f P ,V EM nwgia ' EQ FEATURE THE LAGONDAN Page 93 SENIOR WILL I, IX1-:Z SAYE. leave my charming man- ners to Inez King.

They climb a wall and force open a window and enter the room, the clock strikes one. Sweet Young Thing fbreathlesslyjz Which one? It was necessary for taxation purposes to decide which side of the Canadian and United States border a farm, which an old lady had just purchased, actually lay. Sur- veyors finally announced that the farm was just on the American side of the border. The old lady smiled with relief.

If, prompted his mother. If 'e hollers let him go. Eeny, meeny, miny, mo. John Taton: I sure know how to get Miss Karr's goat. Keith Green: How? John: Watch where she ties it.

Scotchman: Well! go find a ball then and we'll start playing. Leaning over in a contiding manner, Mil- dred whispered to her friend.

On a certain Western one-horse railroad the one train a day was notorious for being always several hours late. But one day it arrived at the end of its run on time. The passengers were so elated that they decided to give the conductor a present to show their appreciation of his successful efforts to get in on time. Accordingly a purse of several dollars was made up and offered to the con- ductor. But, said the conductor, I can't accept it. Why not?' asked the spokesman. Because, he replied, this is yesterday's train. A letter was received by one of our more or less ignorant students the other day. At the conclusion it said? Please return to me in the enclosed en- velope, and the student was dumb enough to write back to him saying: If you want to see me bad enough please send me railroad fare.

On the inside it said, 'You are re- quested to leave the school' and on the out- side it said 'Return in live days,' so here I am. Mr. Roberts: Not a student in this class will be given liberty this afternoon until this assignment is thoroughly done. Voice from back of the room: Give me liberty or give me death. Mr. Roberts! Who said that? Voice: Patrick Henry. I want to be a Senior And with the Seniors stand, With a fountain pen behind my ear And a notebook in my hand. I wou1dn't be the president, I wouldn't be a king: I'd rather be a Senior And never do a thing. Miss Headrick: Bill, use income in a sentence.

Man, man, your curiosity is going to get you in trouble yet. Is that clock right? asked the visitor who had already outstayed his welcome. His hostess groaned. Oh, no, she said. That's the clock we call 'The Visitor.' The bore sat down again. The Visitor? he remarked. What a curious name to give a clock. His hostess ventured an explanation.

Englishman: My word. What fierce birds you have in America. A soldier lost his left arm in the war, and so his right arm was left. His left arm was not left since it was cut off and his left arm was right. If he had lost his right arm in- stead of his left, his left arm would have been left instead of his right, but that's not right, for his right arm was left and not his left. No, you can't see Mr. Snapper, flatly declared Mrs. Snapper to the political can- vasser at the door. B-but, stammered the man, I merely wanted to find out what party he belongs to. Well, then, snapped Mrs. Snapper as she prepared to slam the door, just take a good look at me! The gob was worrying. Tell me about it, said his pal. Get it off your chest. I wish I could, moaned the gob, I've got Marguerite tattoed there and the girl I'm engaged to marry is named 'Helen'. Mills: Well, old Gene Mac Donough re- mained Scotch to the last breath.

Mable Nye: Sure, but where else could he possibly have it? Martha Roach: Say, what's the height of your ambitions? Wayne Henderson: Oh, her? She only comes to my shoulders. Chet Hamm: I've a terrible corn on the bottom of my foot. Alice Wright: That's a fine place to have it as nobody can step on it, Roger Kirkwood: Do you dance? Edithe Fischer: I love to! Roger: Fine, I'd rather do that, too. Mary is one of those suicide blondes. How's that? Dyed by her own hand.' Eva Compton: I'm now writing a story that deals with modern high school life.
