Page 3 OUR ADMINISTRATORS SA Y: In the East the schools and colleges sometimes bask in- dolently in the summer sun of a long-time tradition. Some this tradition stimulates, others it strangles. We are in the middle period where we have the fine traditions of many High School generations of sucess ar-d achievementebut we also have the freedom of pioneers in the field of secondary education. We have the traditions, yet they are so fine that they do not bind our action to all the practices of two or three centuries. Such an enviornment must be a stimulus to the members of the Class of 1938. These fine citizens will assume their full citizenship responsibilities and go on to help strengthen the new traditions of the new school in this Great West in which we live. Itis great to be alive and have a part in the solutions of these problems our Democracy faces. - -Evan E. Evans, Superintendent. Board of Education ....,,,4,.,. Dr. M. W. Baden Mr. R. E. Greiner Mr. L. C. Barnard, Pres. Mrs. Paul Guy Mrs. R. B. Dzmlevy Mr. Ray Hill This publication coming as it does at the close of the school year is significant as it depicts in picture and story the history of a year's life in the career of Winfield,High School. An institution such as this willexist for many years, achievements will come, dramatic moments will occur, friend- ly rivalries will continue on stage and court, contests will be won and lost, students will bring great credit to themselves and their Alma Mater, but this one thing is significant. Never again in the history of this universe .will these ex- periences occur with the same set of actors, the identical participants as in the yearjust passed. Those moments have gone forever and exist only in memory. 1 It is fitting that we publish a year book, a memory book if you please that makes record of these happenings. In future years this publication will grow more precious, as through its pages our memories are stimulated to recall old friendships, tense moments of excitement, the glory of achievement and a thousand personal elements with their particular significance to the persons involved. To the staff and sponsor I wish to express my interest and commendation upon this splendid piece of work. 'Herbert C.

A high spot of the season came when they won the Region- al tourney held at Ark City to get their chance to win the sixth title for the school at the state meet in To- peka. At the state tourney they lost to Ward of Kansas City in the semi-finals. The Ward team was crowned state champions when they won in the finals from Wyandotte. ln the consolation game of the state tourney Winfield soundly trounced Newton, 37-25, to win third place in the state. During the entire season the Vikings won 16 games and lost 7 for an average of .695. The Thomasmen scor- ed a total of 676 points in 23 games to their opponents 501 points, an average of 29.3 points per game to 21.7 points for their opponents. The first string consisted of O.Tucker and G. Tuck- er, forwardsg Dolloff, centerg Dix and Sooter, guardsg Porter and Klien, forwardsg Sanders, center, Story and Roach,guards, were the strong reserves used frequently by Coach Thomas during the season. Three Vikings made the state Honor Roll. They are O. Tucker and G. Tucker, better known as the Tucker cousins, and Dix who made it in the guard position. The biggest surprise of the season came when Ollie Thomas changed the line-up in mid-season, putting ' R Giant 6' 7 Dick Dolloff at center and Sooter, 6' 3 , Q in guard position, to start the Vikings off in a six jg game winning streak, first beating Newton on their - home court, 26-19. The Viking's second team deserves much credit for their part in developing the first squad. The second stringers furnished the first team with plentyof com- petition as they scrimmaged during practice. These I boys did not appear very frequently on the first team, but they were good enough to win a number of games from other Valley second teams, including the New- Q Above, senior high second team, left to right: Cook, Greer, Roberts, Delbert Smyth, Brant, Werner, and Weddle.

Although the season was not eminently successful in terms of games won, it is a fact that a dozen or more junior high boys received some excellent training should prove valuable to the senior! high team in lat- er years. Many senior high players of this and previous years have received prelimin- ary training under Coach Titus in junior high school. Members of the first junior high team were Captain McDermott, Barnes, C. Roberts, Miles, Davis, Nichols, Nellis, Savage and Evans. J. Thornton, ll. Thornton, Furlow, J. Roberts, Foster, Winfrey, Hoshaw, Stout, and White- hill made up the second team. Page 16 E E Lf-I DC Q 1 ' 'J 1 , f 1 ' L 1 , w 1 w , V N X, s 1 : 1 I w E Q4 i G I UD l L .

THE ORCHESTRA lgdfili is-illflifir, Cggqduegqma It wasn't just a successful year in musicg this season marked another year in the ever advancing and enlarging de- partment of musicin the Winfield high school. Aside from routine rehearsals and duties of the music department these organizations have given a series of con- certs which were well attended and thoroughly appreciated. The band, numbering 70 players, ful- filled many engagements, including all basketball games and pep assemblies. The second annual Wellington band festival was attended by the band again this year. At this festival the W.H.S. band was acclaimed the best drilled and best dressed organization in attendance. The chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Foster Newland, presented three concerts, the first was a very impress- ive Christmas program in the high school auditorium. Not only were the musical numbers well performed, but the stage scenery and lighting were excellent: The second appearance was for the state Sunday school teachers' convention in this city during April. The spring concert was held May 10 in the high school auditorium. All choral groups who entered in the Southwes- tern music contest were presented in this concert. The 75 piece senior high orchestra had an especially busy concert season this year. The orchestra, under the IT? Concert baton of Paul Painter, presented four concerts including the Olmstead mem- orial concert and an appreciation con- cert which is an annual presentation for the grade school students. Winfield retained its high standardsin competition during the annual South- western music contest. Highly-superior ratings were earned by the band, mixed chorus, A Cappela choir, senior high girls' ch0rus,junior high chorus and both junior and senior high orchestras. The small ensemble groups, including vocal and instrumental, ranked very high. The greater share of high honors in the contest went to Winfield high students. .L Page 19 Foren ic Group Ha a uccessful Year A good record was turned in by the forensic department of W. H. S. this year, under the leadership of Miss Helen Johnson. In the fields of reading, ex- ' ' h , leen temn and oratory the results ave i particularly gratifying, There were five entries for the local oratory contest, nine participated in the humorous read- ing contest, four entered dramatic read- ing and ten pro poraneous speaking. The trump card for the Viking speak , Sturm who put W. H. S. on the map with her reading ability. 'l'his speech artist won first in humorous reading and first in dramatic ved their skill in extem- ers this year was Zoe readingin the inter-soc-ie 5 tests, making her the sweepstakes win- t ' reading con- ner also. After taking these honors Zoe tied for first at the Ark Valley reading contest. This senior is equally adept as n extemp speaker Zoe Sturm and Jimmy Marshall were chosen to enter the district extemp contest. lrlighi en- tries from Ark City, Eldorado, Wichita East and Winfield matched their wits on the question, Government Regula- tion of Advertising. Zoe Sturm won first and Jimmy Marshall placed fourth. This enabled W. H. S. to enter the state extemp contest where Sturm placed fifth. Bob Urahood, orator for W.H.S., crashed the headlines many times again this forceful junior speaker won over Ellsworth Sallee and this year. ln oratorv Louis Yount who afforded stiff compe- tition in the local inter-society oratory contest. Orahood represented Winfield at the Ark Valley where he copped sec- ond with his persuasive oration, The Individual in our Technology. Christine Pettit was outstanding in the forensics department. This active junior won second place in the reading sweepstakes and displayed her ability as an extemp speaker when she won second in the inter-society extemp con- test.

Alpha Down Through the Years the Societies of Winfield High School Continue to Fire the Enthusiasm of the Students and Teachers. This year the Die Beste Literary So- ciety went Hollywood. The Go-win Film Corporation reached dizzy heights of success under the leadership of Prexy Thomas W. Backus. Able assistance was given ' by the popularvice-pres- ident and' te secretary, Leroy Jud- son and Erne ine Yount respectively. Box office . hit of the year was the four star production Express Your- selfl' which had its pre-View at the Jap- anese theater November 12 and 13, be- fore capacity crowds. The all-star cast was under the di- rection of Miss Helen Shrader, noted woman director. Express Yourself was a hilarious comedy with an under- lying note ot serious drama in the con- flict of individuals battling for self- expression. The production struck its first excit- ing moment when David Dexter, Bill Swartz, who had returned from a successful trip learns that his brother, the black-sheep of the family, Stephen t'l'om Backusj is upstairs asleep. The family composed of Phyllis, Dorothy Branson, Donna, Mable Hadley, Nick, Bob Misak, and Mrs. Dexter, Leah Highfill, are completely under the domination of David until Stephen throws a monkey wrench into the iron hand rule of his brother and encourages self-expression. Die Bestes First in Baseball Love was scattered in al directions with Christine Pettit as Nick's heart- throb and Jimmy Marshal in pursuit of Phyllisls heart. Most popular of the family seemed to be Donna who was the beloved of both Joseph Lee Shaw and Louis Yount. Character roles were well portrayed by Ernestine Yount as the colored maid and Vernon Shackelford as Pinky the tool of a political boss. In the Inter-Society contests the base- ball team walked off with the bunting with three victories to one loss to make the Die Bestes win a first. They also were tops in tennis and B team basketball. They were second in the remaining contests ticket sales, for- ensics and A team basketball. It was the first time in years that the society took all first and seconds. The Go-win company refused to ,accept a third. New this year to the corporation was its head director, Walt Butcher. The first year is supposed to be the hard- est, but Mr. Butcher had no trouble at all in proving to the school his ability of leadership. The Go-win Film cor- poration awarded him the special Academy award for leadership. Gerald Tucker, Joyce Sooter, Jim Robertewl ack Weddle, Hill Swartz, Dick Brummitt, the Mc Daniel boys, Warren Hartley and Bob Ebert for their athletic ability: Rogena Marte for her splendid work at the party and throughout the year: Leroy Judson for being such a swell vice-president and keeping out of the way. Backus Outstanding Leader All directors of the company were presented with Oscars.l' These spon- sors, Helen Shrader, Ollie Thomas, Hol'is Barton, Lucy Headrick, Ruth De Turk ani Agnes Lake are to be con- gratulated on their excellent work. A great deal of credit for the yearls outstanding success should go to Prexy Backus who really got down and worked for success. His executive ability should be an inspiration to following presidents. Of the vearls activities the colossal party given for members at the Cocoa- nut Grove fRecreation Halll Hollywood, California. was the smash hit. Previews of the newest lVIickey Mouse picture and films of the private lives of Go-win stars taken by their president were shown. A one-act. play The Arkansas Love Birdsll was presented by Carman El- linger, idol of millions, Bill Swartz, farnous screen villain and in the fem- inine role, the heart breaker, Tom Backus. Alpha Circus Big Success Later in the evening Carman Ellinger stepped from theband stand to delight the crowd with his rendition of Star Dust and t'Margie . The famous Dancing boys' chorus, Fan Dancer York, and the Paul Howland-Gerald Tucker duo also helped everyone to go home saying Boy, itls great to be a Die Bestell' President Fink reports a standing room onlyl' record for the Alpha Circus this season. He attributes the success of this greatest of all circuses to the dazzling performances in the numerous rings and the efficiency of the ringmas- ters. In a high silk hat and swinging a base- ball bat, Ringmaster Story kept the ball twirlers in Ring 1 on their toes. Muz- zie Jones, Slaughterhouse Werner, Dizzy Dix, Nolan, Cales, Bill Sand- ers, Niniach, Bob Hughes, Glen Allen, Deadeye Smyth, and Olin pitched, caught, and hit themselves into second place in the l. S. Series. Alpha Basketeers Victorious Arrayed in blue and white Viking tuxedoes, Olin and Carle, handsome and popular goal shooters, cracked their whips over the basketeers in Ring 11. Roach, Story, Muzzie , Parsons, Davis, Sanders, Niniach, Allen, Cales, Towering Dickl' Dolloff, Marten, and Dcadeye responded in championship form. Racquet wielders Barbara and Su- zanne, Olin, Delbert, Zoe, and Nellie served and returned with speed and pre- cision in Ring III, at the command of Netman Ringmaster Roach. At one thrilling point in the program all rings were removed and in marched a masterful throng led by those effic- ient ringmasters, Nancy and Guy. Two by two they marched in, those champion ticket sellers of all time: Audrey, Dor- othy Nell, Kathleen B, Leonard Biddle Boyd, Irma Dean, Mary Elizabeth, Harold Cadwell, Dix, Niniach, Barbara Louise Evans, Ida Mae, Kathleen Franks, Gardner, Margarette, Nellie, Betty Harris, Hendrickson, Holtby, Hoyt, Hughes, Evangeline, Jones, Melba, Kathryn Keith, Letty Lee, Arthur J, McKown, Prouse, Roach, Roop, Sanders, Louise Shockey, Story, Lola Tucker, Olin, Harold Wilson, and Allen Vaughn. Sturm, Fink Co-Star in Play Then at a dramatic moment, Coach Casburn supervised the production, The Goose Hangs High. Entered that handsome hero Raymond Brandy, lovable heroine Marianne, turbulent. twins Audrey and Ralph, patient parents Zoe and Howard, villians Whitney and Demieville, grumbling grandmother Jayne, friend-in-need Niniach, amiable aunt Maxine, nephew John Marten, maid Suzanne, and Canine Mickey Carson. Once again the rings were cleared for the annual frolic under the big top. Whitneyls Swinging Alphas-Pedro, Winn, Wilson, Nolan, Doris, Elam, Margarette, Marinne, Thornton, Mc- Knab, and Bowlby practically raised the roof fassisted by Backus and Congdonj.

Ring IV - in reality three-in-onem re- sponded royally to Ringmaster Fink's call to action. In one circle Nolan and Ellsworth orated with sweeping gest- ures, in another Zoe, Audrey, Bertha, Holtby, Nolan and Demieville waxed dramatic and humorous, in the last circle Ellsworth, Barbara, Audrey, Whitney, Holtby, Angela and the Ringmaster himself extemporized eloquently. A marvel of rhythm and harmony was Ring V. Directed by that most charm- ing of clowns, Gerald Nolan, pianists, violinists and vocalists Nancy, Dorothy Nell, Maxine, Marianne, Jayne, Mary Aileen, Christine, Ida Mae, Berniece, Betty, Laura, HelenJean, Wilma, Mary Elizabeth, Kenneth Barker, Fink, and Sunderland played and sang their way to fame. Ring VI was so filled with husky tracksters that it took all of Coach Titus' ingenuity to keep these pre- formers in the Alpha Athletics Acro- batic ArenafAdron, Allen, Davis, Werner, Sanders, Seymour, Cales, Duncan, Jones, Hopkins, Hughes, and Parsons In an election held under the Big Top, it was discovered that the beauties of the troupe were Margery and Marianne.

On the attractive hair ballot Suzanne and Sanders were the winners. Most popular troupers were Nancy, Marianne and Carle. Most outstanding athletes were Story trunnerj, Tucker ltennisl, and Dix fall aroundp. Zoe and Marianne were voted best actresses and Fink and Marten, best actors. Nancy's smile was voted nicest, while outstanding success in life was predicted for Fink and Roach. Secretary-treasurer Watkins foretold another successful year for the Alpha Greatest Show on Earth at the final business meeting of Directors Johnson, St. John, Van Keuren, Eikerman, Titus, Keeney, and Douglass. This year the Philos were Knights of the Open Road, whichis just apolite way of saying Hobos. We were very polite this year. We stepped aside and let the Alphas and Die Bestes push ahead in the contests, knowing that our time is coming. We were, as the saying goes, last but not least. Our play was a thriller Mystery in the Library presented October 6 and 7. Remember the thunder, the howling wind, the rain and flickering lights that kept us shivering in our seats as the staff of the college paper met in the old library. Milton Livingston as the mad scientist provided the chills of the evening with his excellent acting and maniacal laughter. The welcome com- edy relief was supplied by Marceil Bo- lack as the hollow voiced Annie Goopy and Jack Warren as Swenson, the dumb policeman who was always eating. Robert Orahood, as the hero of the play managed to solve the mystery with Swenson's help and still carry on his ro- mance with Zella Cantrell. Wishing he could have the same success with his heart throb, Marian Garrick, was Ray- mond Berry, lt boy of the campus. His pal Harry provided many laughs. How we symapthized with Maxine Fost- er who as Margaret, was the first to feel the touch of mystery. Cecil King, editor of the Bugle, Maurell Bell college presi- dent, and Curtis Kininmonth as the in- spector, made us all proud of them. The camp fires were lighted as the hobos, tramps, hitchhikers, handout ex- perts and freight riders poured into tContinued on Page 241 l' Page 22 Cinder Men Bring Honors To Winfield High School The track season is still in full swing as these lines are written, so it is im- possible to give the team's complete re- cord for this year. The year started with the Sterling re- lays. In this meet Howard Porter wound up abrilliant high school track career by breaking the Sterling high hurdles record. Also in this meet Adrian Shockey, sophomore star, placed first in the half mile. The next meet was the Anthony re- lays in which Bell, veteran track man, copped top honors in high jump, and the Viking mile relay team of Dix, Story, Ctrsorl, and Brothers placed sec- ond in their race. This same team also won first in the Tonkawa meet, running the distance in the best time made this year by any high school mile relay team. At the quadrangular meet at Augusta the Vikings placed third. Coach Ralph Titus is looking forward to the coming big meets in which he hopes his cinder men will set some new records, as they have been showing fine form in the past meets. Viking Netmen Give Many Tennis Victories to W.H.S. An outstanding accomplishment this season for the Winfield high school tennis team was its fine showing in the Tulsa tournament, the boys winning the doubles championship and taking second honors in the singles. The Vikings made clean sweeps over all the schools they played this year with the exception of Wichita North. In this dual meet only one match was dropped. Other schools they have de- feated are Wichita East, Coffeyville, and El Dorado. Coach Curly Vaughan should be given much credit for his fine coaching ability in turning out such splendid play- ers as have represented the school this year and in years past. He is largely responsible for a great many state championship players who have been developed in W. H. S. Swartz and l-lanlen Pilot Senior Hi-Ygfor 1937-38 The slogan of the senior Hi-Y is to create, maintain and extend through- out the school and community, high standards of Christian character. Under the leadership of Bill Swartz, presidentg John Hanlen, secretaryg T. H. Vaughan, sponsor, and a loyal cabinet, the W. H. S. club has endeav- ored to maintain this standard during the school year. . International Friendship ls Theme Used by Senior G. R. The Senior Girl Reserve has had an- other successful year to add to her ca- lendar. At the beginning of this year, the membership and rush committees had charge of the membership drive which resulted in 100 girls joining. They chose for their theme this year, Inter- national Friendship, choosing a differ- ent country for each month. The Christmas p r o g r a m for sen- ior high was given by the Senior High Girl Reserves. It was a pageant, en- titled, Christmas Around the World, and gave a picture of Christmas as it is celebrated in all countries, ending with the story of the birth of Jesus, pictured in pantomine. The most important activity of the year was the St. Patrick's Day banquet given by the girls for their mothers on March 8. Recreation hall shone with clever decorations carrying out the Irish theme. The favors were in keep- ing with St. Patrick's Day, and to make it complete, Irish foods were served. The new cabinet was installed by the old cabinet at a candle-lighting cere- mony at the First Methodist church, April 28. The G. R. cabinet, as a whole, did very well in carrying on the work for the year. Among the loyal members of the cabinet, the faithful work of Mary Ruth McNeil, program chairman, was particularly outstanding, G. R. spon- sors report.

Hi Adds Pep at Games by Orgcmigg Pep Club The junior high pep club, newly or- ganized this year, clearly demonstrated that a club doesn't have to be two or three years old to accomplish some- thing. Orgaujzed to promote pep, good cit- izenship and sportsmanship at the games, the club met every Tuesday in the girls' gym. They boasted 120 mem- bers and hope to go far over that num- ber next year. For their drill uniform they had white blouses, dark blue skirts, dark blue scarfs and white dink caps.

Junior High Friendship Club Very Successful The junior high Friendship club was newly organized this year and their pro- grams have been for the most part devoted to the exchanging of addresses and the reading of letters from their foreign correspondents. The club has 41 members, 29 of them being charter members. Officers of the club were president, Jane Lee Marsh: vice president, Patsy Hooverg secretary, Betty Crawford. Miss Carolyn Burdick is the sponsor. Successful Year ls Had by Junior High Girl Reserves Success was the keynote of the junior Girl Reserve this year. Their theme centered around this thought, I will develop my best qualities. All the pro- grams were developed around this theme. Topics which formed the basis for the programs included personality and personal appearance, health for a happy disposition, tolerance and under- standing of different creeds and races, service, art, literature, speech, music and spirit. Recognition services for the new mem- bers wc-re held October 20. The next big event, perhaps the most important activity of the organization, was the masquerade banquet for the Dad and Daughter annual dinner on October 29. A reception was given for the mothers May 6, in Recreation hall. At this tea, the new officers for next year were in- stalled.

Dressed in their drill uniforms of navy blue skirts, white shirts, blue bandan- nas and red dink caps, they presented a picture of rythmic precision as they performed their drills. Ending their third year of existence, the pep club has enjoyed a great deal of success. They played hostess to the Wichita East high school pep club, sponsored one pep assembly and at the close of the basketball season, all the members enjoyed a luncheon in Recre- ation hall. This year the club has a membership of 104. Officers of the club were pres- ident, Patti Kininmonthgsecretary, Mary Ruth McNeil, drill masters, Suzanne Martin and Barbara Dunlap. The club has been under the sponsor- ship of Miss Doris Peterson, assisted by Miss Hollis Barton and Miss Carol Gard- ner. Sr. High Friendship Club Completes Interesting Year With a purpose of fostering interna- tional understanding and good will among the students of other nations, the Winfield senior high school Interna- tional friendship club has completed a year full of interest and also of benefit to the members. The club presented the program for the May 4 meeting of the Rotary club, reading letters from correspondents which had been written especially for this meeting. They also gave some folk dances and a French play. Officers of the club are president, Mary Ruth Mc Neil: secretary, Monica Patong program chairman, Evelyn Mae Brant. Miss Lulu B.

We spent the first part of the evening showing what skill in games we had acquired in our wanderings. Then as the fires died down we gath- ered into a circle and heard Hitchhiker Bill Nishet play a hobo rhapsody and Hobo Patsy Jean Martin give two readings. Those famous before dinner speakers Tom Backus, Die Beste Prexy, Howard Fink, Alpha Headman. and Jack War- ren, just one of the Philos, gave im- promptu speeches on How I Became a Hobo. After those educational talks we called on Miss Grace Karr and her committee forahand ost ofsandwiches, cake and cokes. On the Hobo Honor Roll for the year. our President and Secretary have chosen the following: Lawrence Kline, Homer Cherry, Raymond Berry, Richard Rice, Melvil Hanna, Harold Kukuk, Wilber Wilson, Max Yonng, Eddie Duprez, Louis Ebert, Gene Grant, Clifford Sic- kles, Cecil Angel, Charles Jones and Maurell Bel in athleticsg Morton Green- leaf, Bill Nisbet, Patsy Jean Martin, Robert Merriam, John Yianakopulos, and Marjorie Brown for their work in the music contest 3 Robert Ora hood, Tom Myer for their forensic abilityg Jack Warren, Marciel Bolack, Milton Liv- ingston, Zella Cantrell, Marian Gariick, Leonard Brant, Maxine Foster, Cecil King and Curtis Kininmonth for their work in the playg Dorothy Nelson, Clemence Hopper, Maxine Dieterich and Dorothy Barker for always being ready to helpg and our sponsors Miss Helen Moffett, Miss Grace Karr, Miss Doris Peterson, Miss Carol Gardner, Miss Lulu Hiatt, Edward B. Stephenson, R. H. Roberts for their help. Our year was disrupted by the few weeks absence of our beloved head sponsor Miss Helen Moffett. She was forced by illness to enter the hospital and take a much nee-led rest. We really missed her leadership during that time as the music and forensic contests were just getting started. We are really proud of our head Hobo, Howard Porter,who took the throne in the middle of a crisis and headed us back toward normalcy. He was active in basketball, baseball, and tennis, and if we had track we know he'd be win- ning for us. His assistant was Clio Shirley who kept the books for us. The fires have died down, spring is here with summer right behind it so we'll separate to ride the rails-see you again next September. CA! GJ , CLMX! -, QC, 3 tj ' v - ,I , 4' I 1 I 1 x A. ' ' x Vaar Hallingfest Is Given Highest Praise Although the Vaar Hallingfest came so late in the year that we were unable to use pictures of this extraordinary event, we do want to record in printed form the appreciation of the school to the girls of the physical education de- partment and their director, Miss Doris Peterson,for their splendid work. There were many people who con- sidered the demonstration the very tops among the public enjertainrnents pro- vided by the school during the past year. Certainly few school programs in the past have drawn such a perponderance of praise as that which was so lavishly bestowed upon the Varr Hallingfest this spring. And it deserved every bit ofit. W. H.

High Actors Present Tarkington's 'Seventeen' Keeping the audience in stitches throughout the entire performance the junior high play cast did an excellent job of portraying the idiosyncrasies of adolesence in Booth Tarkington's play Seventeen March 16, 17, 18 this year. William Baxter, played by Worral Clift, was a young man reaching what he thought was full maturity at the age of seventeen. When he falls in love with Lola Pratt, played by Marie Bell, a beautiful girl who is apt in the art of baby-talk and flirtation, the lack of a dress suit becomes a family crisis. Added to this decided lack of proper clothing was the additional problem of a younger sister, Jane, played by De- lores Blacket. Genesis, the negro handy man, played by Keith Blair, received his share of laughs with his witty remarks. Willy's parents, Bette Lou Rutledge and Jim McNeil, came through gallantly in the end with a dress suit and under- standing for their broken-hearted son. Other members of the cast were John- nie Watson, Ross Pettitg May Crooper, Ervin Brant: Ethel Boke, Mary Thur- berg Wallie Banks, Billy Hammg Mary Brooks, Roberta Dickinsong Fred Ben- nett, Jim Bowden, Frances Kirsted, Martha June Hudson. The play was ably directed by Miss Lucy Headrick. Speeders and Accuracy Club Organized this Year This year there was introduced into the school anew and different club, the Speeders and Accuracy club. As the club name implies it was organized for the purpose of creating speed and ac- curacy among the typing students. Qualifications for membership in the accuracy club are few, but they are not easy. 'l'he students have to have eight perfect test papers. In the Speeders club the beginners had to type 50 words a minute with a minimum of five errors, and the advanced students had to type 60 words a minute, also a minimum of five errors. The club meets once every six weeks and the membership varies. Officers of the Speeders club are president, Barbara Dunlapg vice president, Mar- ian McNabbg secretary, Nancy Jarvisg Sergeant-at-arms, Patsy Jean Martin. Officers of the Accuracy club are pre- sident, Niniach Duncang vice president, Dorthea Fulkg secretary, Richard Sav- age, Howland, affirmative: Bob Misak, Howard Fink and Bil'l Nisbet, negative.
