A new form of student participation came to Wyan- dotte this year in the form of the School Council. Our organization is only a part of the 535 member schools of the National Association of Student Councils. The pur- pose of the school council, like the main purpose of all other activities about the school, curricular or extracur- ricular, is to educate those who participate. Members of the council were chosen by the students. One representa- tive is elected from each home room, thus making the representation equal in proportion to the size of the four classes. Officers of the Courtesy Club are also regular members. , At the first meeting of the permanent members of the council, these officers were elected: Paul Gibbs, presidentg Sylvia Griffith, vice-president, Edna Marie Green, secre- tary, and Jane Allvine, treasurer. ln November the officers attended a convention at Topeka to find out what other councils were doing, and many fine ideas were brought back. One of the first problems the council wanted' to work out was that of having mixerst - The student body wanted more and better ones, and it was up to the council to work out a system to please as many people as possible. Should outsiders be allowed to come, or should it be strictly for Wyandotte people-should food be sold-what about the music-and where should the mixers be held? These were just a few of the many problems, and as each one was worked out, mistakes may have been made, but an attempt was made to correct them at the next mixer. Several committees have been appointed to take care of some of the difficulties around Wyandotte. A light committee takes care of the dark halls by turning the lights on and off as needed. This is especially helpful now that we can use our lockers between classes. Wyandotte stu- dents seem to lose quite a few things, and up to this year all lost articles were put in the office. But now, if some- thing is lost, you just go to room 161, and there you'll find a council member in charge. Students had been com- plaining because there was no place to study before school, so the School Council stepped in, and room 159 was opened for early birds, with council members in charge. There are other committees and there have been other activities, but these are some of the highlights of the School Council's first year at Wyandotte. lt is off to a good start, and if everyone is willing to cooperate it will do even bigger and better things for the school and the students. Page 7 A Principal . . . Page 8 by the editors The advent of the new administration with Ralph C. Johnson as principal, was accompanied by several changes. In actual practice, policy will be weighed in an effort to afford the maximum of democratic opportunity for VV students. Closely linked together in their formation, and working co-operatively are the homeroom system and the School Council, started at the beginning of this school year. It is universally conceded that the homeroom system provides a more efficient way of keeping the affairs of the school in smooth working order, at the same time keeping the stu- dents in closer contact with the central adminis- tration. The homerooms provided a basis whereby students were chosen as representatives to the all- school council which works with the faculty in managing students affairs. An essential group connected with the School Council is the Cafeteria Courtesy Committee. These people volunteered at the beginning of the year to contribute their services toward the tre- mendous job of running, in an efficient manner, a cafeteria which must daily feed Wyandotte's 1900 students. Members of this group were in charge of providing music daily during the three lunch periods. This year also marked the introduction of pep assemblies in the stadium and the auditorium. Highlighting these rallies were the appearance of Forrest C. Phog Allen at the initial auditorium assembly honoring the football team, and the first outdoor assembly, held on the day of the Ward game, at which the entire student body participated in the live formation of the school letters. Judg- ing by the enthusiasm shown, it would seem that these are here to stay. 19p Down: Principal Johnson and School Council presidenl Paul Gibbs, home room in cchon-School Coirncil representahve Barbara Pack selling tickets, Allen Sever reading the announce- ments, home room captains Schweder, -Clemenl and Peck plan- ' rts rograrn, cafeteria record Jockeys Gibbs, Wall and Ei:,?Nnti,59, pap assembly in the stadium. Acti itie . . . Early in February, those interested in radio in Wyandotte received a notification from the FCC -Federal Communications Commission to the un- initiated, that they had been granted a license to operate an amateur radio station. Given the call letters WOSXA, the Radio Club was soon sending and receiving calls from nearly all our neighboring states. Changes in policy were the leaving out of one hour for an assembly instead of shortening all hours, letting students go to their lockers during the passing period, and a new bell schedule start- ing school fifteen minutes later. In short, we've touched just a few of the important changes in and around your high school during the year 1947.

Gregory y As befits the largest class in the school, the sophomores have been quite active this year. This group has two assemblies to its credit, and has worked with the school council to present an all-school mixer. The sophomore class was sponsored by Mr. Lauren L. Plummer, and numbered 608 members. Most of these were new to Wyandotte this year, having come from Central and Northwest Junior High Schools. Now they feel they are well prepared to be upperclassmen next year. ophomore 0IHcers Left fo right: Don Robertson, treasurer, Marvin Rengel, president, Esther Mefaxas, secretory, Mr. Lauren Plummer, sponsor, Curl Ambler, vice- president. Page 12 ophomore Class The senior class was comprised of 430 students, busy with class rings, gradua- tion announcements, senior pictures, and plans for the future. This group was the sponsor of the year's first all-school mixer, and presented a three-act comedy play, Brother Goose . In addition they have been well represented in athletics and other school activities. The sponsor of the seniors is Miss Louise Timmer. With their years of high school educa- tion now behind them, these students are going forward either to jobs or to higher education. enior 0IIicers Lefl fo righf: John Munkres, treasurer, George Kclnas, vice-president, Don Wilson, presidenip Beverly White, secretary, Louise Timmer, sponsor. Junior Class by fame! Gregory New to the halls of Wyandotte this year were the confused and often-lost freshmen. However, being an up and coming group, they soon began to find their way around, and to get into the swing of school activities. An assembly was presented this spring by the freshman class. The freshmen comprised the smallest class at Wyandotte, having only 192 members. Their sponsor was Mr. Lester Ramsey. Freshmen 0IHeers Left fo righf: Jack McKain, treasurer, Sianley Grout, president, Mr. Ramsey, sponsorg Nancy Turk, secrefary, Roberf Medearis, vice-president. Freshman Class Increasing the ranks of upperclassmen this year were 537 busy Juniors. For these students the year's round of activities included the presentation of the Junior Play, a three-act comedy entitled A Date With Judy, and the annual Junior- Senior Prom, at which they honored the seniors. In these they were guided by their sponsor, Miss Nelle Cook. Now this group is eagerly looking for- ward to the time when they become seniors, and leaders in the various school activities.

Page 15 Class of 1947 Out at 25th and Minnesota in the city of Kansas City, Kansas, there's a high school called Wyandotte. It's campus, though beautiful, is not the thing which im- presses you most, but instead, the spirit that pervades that same campus. Each year, approximately 450 young men and women pass from its classrooms to assume their right- ful place in society. To these young people belong the future of our community, state, and nation. And the coming few years will see many of them establish them- selves as solid citizens of our land. Ever keeping our faces turned toward that future, we pause for just a moment in retrospect . . . We remember primarily the group of scared kids who made up our freshman class-awed by the size of our new school, and trying our very darndest to find someplace to fit in. We recall very vividly those first few days, how we got lost, the mistakes that we made, but most of all, the friendly atmosphere which made those first few days not too uncomfortable. We envied the big, important seniors, laughed at how silly the usteadiesl' looked, and formed ambitions and desires for our own senior year. Came the sophomore year, and dear old Wyandotte saw a more experienced class compete for honors with new arrivals from junior highs throughout the city. It wasn't long, however, before cooperation replaced that competitive spirit, and, despite difficulties caused by the by the Editors war, we sophs plunged headlong into the work and play which constituted our new lives as high school students. We remember the partial dignity' acquired updn passing into our junior year. Some of the not-to-be-fon gotten events of that year were: the Junior class play, Junior Miss , the Kay Cee banquets, and of course the Junior-Senior Prom. The long-awaited senior year finally arrived, and with it came the culmination of the hopes and dreams of many fellows and girls. Being the tenth class to graduate from the new Wyandotte High, this year marked the beginning of a new administration under a new principal, R. C. Johnson. The year passed altogether too rapidly as we were caught in the whirl of activities that make up a successful senior year. Ordering class rings and pins, announcements, National Honor Society nominations-all these events and many others combined to bring gradua- tion date nearer by leaps and bounds. In days to come, we will remember the swell times we've had together, social hall and the traditional Christmas service in the yuletide season, the mixers, banquets, and parties that made up our school life. And though we will never again be assembled as we have been this past year, the benefits gained from our association will speak with such power, that, in years to come, the world will hear from the Class of ,47. .,,.,,.,. ,s .,,:,:: bzutpztihuIuzpzptliIGzhzH:Q:'IIAZpzpznzzizgtuzuztqzhl ,,. , '- Page 16 Ed Asner Betty Barker William Boosmann Edward Bortko Frances Bosworth Ardis Brown Barbara Brown Robert Brownrigg Doris Carns Clarissa Carter Loretta Chushuk Ted Clevenger Fred Cross David Day Verna Edwards Mary Kay Ehlen David Ellis t Joyce Gazin 4 David Gray Vera Lou Green Richard Gruendel Anna Marie Gunner Marie Hirt Charles Hudson ho Barhara Pack 'a 1' if National Honor Society I Zffiff ':.-.-.4s1:2r!AZfL535 .:-:., .,.. xy '1Ef231215riy:2- ' :s::sas:s::a'e liZ:air:2:'gQlNfa1Z 2 'iiz,ff Q fin 7 ' f f 1 52 f 3 11,2 Z 2 ' , . , if Donald Hufford Margie Hutinger Marjorie jenree Donald Johnson Mary Lou Johnson Connie Kallaras William Knepper Patricia Lander Shirley Lansky Charlene Lashbrook Jean Liggett Pat Lynch Raymond Magers , Q Mary Frances McCain Preston McCurtain P Mary E.

Having set membership in this scholarship group as his goal upon entering high school, he now can wear the emblem of the torch of knowledge. The Honor Society was created as a national organization in 19215 as a society here at Wyandotte ini 1925. The founders of this group had in mind the stimulation of scholarship, leadership, character .john Winters and service among high school students. Thus, these are the requirements for membership in the National Honor Society. The candidates are initiated into the organiza- tion by a traditional Sacred Flame Ceremony, held each spring in Wyandotte's auditorium. At this very impressive candlelighting service, each boy and girl accepts the challenge of the spirit of Achieve- ment by repeating this pledge: In all hamilizfy, I pledge myself to he honor- ahle, to serve, to lead arighl, 150 apholll ieholar- rhlp ami that to keep alive the Jacreal flame.

Each year at Wfyandotte, any senior student who desires to, may sign up to take a series of scholarship tests given by Vice-Principal J. Clyde Hume. These examinations are not only for students seriously interested in achieving a scholarship to the college of their choice, but for any boy or girl who wants to determine howl he ranks in his class or who simply wants the practical experience of taking college tests. Many of the examinations are duplicates of old college! entrance tests and although they will not be the same as the ones taken upon entering a college, ,their similarity will undoubtedly prove to be very 'helpful when the time comes. I 'Ifhere were two final tests given. All previous examihations served simply as practice and as examples of the variety of tests given for actual scholarships. Students whose scores on these prabtice tests were below average were eliminated, and only those who made exceptional scores and who ranked high scholasticallymwere given the . -nag. HU I Page 18 opportunity to attempt the real scholarship tests. One was sponsored by the Pepsi-Cola Company, the other, the Summerfield Scholarship for boys, applies only to the University of Kansas. There were 55 students taking the preliminary examinations this year and, although of course all 55 could not take the final tests, each one of them is to be commended for his interest and participation in such an activity.

Rated at the first of the sea- son as an under- dog team because of inexperience, Wyandotte's foot- ball squad soon l proved to be one of the strongest in this section of the state. Fin- ishing the season with an .800 average feight wins and two lossesj, the Bull- dogs took the city championship. Ed Ellis came back to his coach- ing duties this l year after serv- ing three years in the Navy. With the assist- ance of Francis Swaim, a new- comer to Wyan- dotte, Ellis began early in September to mold a strong forward wall and a powerful backfield. After perfecting plays off the double and single wing formations the Bulldogs, captained by Bill Brownrigg, opened their season with a 7-0 win over Central High of COACH ED ELLIS by Gemini Rmlofelt Kansas City, Missouri. The only counter came on the first down of the second quarter when Don Wilson plunged the ball over from the one-yard line and then kicked the conversion.

The only safety of the season was scored in this game by Bob Laird. Then, on October 25, came Ward! An over-capacity crowd of 8,000 witnessed the most exciting game of the season, with the Bulldogs finally emerging as the victor 12-7. Although the Red and Whiten hit pay dirt first, they were soon on the short end of the score. The Cyclones took the lead on a touchdown pass from Dollard to Sachen, and on the conversion which followed. In the final minutes of the game the winning tally came when Don Wilson shot a pass to Bob Laird, who was across the goal line.

Four returning lettermen p r o v i d e d Coach Marion Wools with a nucleus around which to build a team. These included two forwards-- Don Burchfield and Bill Brownrigg, and two guards-Bob Laird and Don Wilson. Finding someone to fill the center position was the big problem facing the Wyandotte coach. Of the four returning lettermen, none had the experience to play the pivot spot. Several boys were shifted to center during the season in an attempt to find a winning combination. The Bulldogs entered the season, realizing their own lack of ex- perience and the strength of their Wools l LJ Page 39 Page 40 Basketball opponents. However, they never lost their fight and drive. This hustle and determination paid off when they defeated such teams as Northeast, Central, Chanute, Argentine, Salina, McPherson and Shawnee Mission. Inaccuracy on free throws was no doubt responsible for a number of the losses suffered by the squad, as practically all of them were close games which were lost by only a few points. The Canines opened the season by defeating the Northeast Vikings, champions of the Interscholastic League of Kansas City, Missouri. In the second home game the Bulldogs racked up a 39-19 score against the Olathe Eagles, after having lost the pre- vious Friday on the Rosedale court, 21-27. Shawnee Mission became the second successful opponent, scoring a 34-29 victory over our men. Preliminary to the K. U.-Oklahoma Aggie game at the Municipal Auditorium, December 20, the Canines showed good form by taking an easy 43-35 victory from Central of Kansas City, Missouri. Starting the New Year right, the Bulldogs went out of town and came back with good news of a 36-25 win over Chanute. Wyandotte's quintet con- tinued to win as the Mustangs from Argentine fell 24-22, in a close game that saw the Dogs ice cold at the charity line. Twenty-two free throws were missed. This victory made three in a row for the team. Traveling to Topeka for their next game, the Canine five was unsuccessful in its attempt to beat the Trojans, who emerged the victors, 32-27. Memorial Hall provided the battle ground for the next contest between our own Bulldogs and the Ward Cyclones, paced by Pat Doherty. Until the last quarter the teams appeared evenly matched. In that last period, however, the boys across the way Top: BOB LAIRD DON WILSON Guard Guard Senior-2 yrs. Senior-3 yrs. Center: DON JOHNSON DON BURCHFIELD Guard Forward Senior-I yr. Senior-2 yrs.

The next two games were dropped 19-20 and 26-32 to Lawrence and Pittsburg, respectively. In a pair of overtime games, the Canine squad edged out Rose- dale and Salina by one-point margins. Don Johnson made the winning buckets in the overtime of each game. Johnson, Burchfield, and Laird led the scoring against Rosedaleg while Hataway and Laird did most of the damage against the Maroons. In the annual Invitational Tournament held at Wyandotte, the Bulldogs defeated the Bullpups of McPherson, 40-31. Matched with Ward the follow- ing night, our boys suffered a heartbreaker when they lost a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter to be nosed out, 33-3 5, by the seemingly unconquerable Cyclones. In a return affair with Topeka the Trojans main- tained their strength to defeat us, 41-3 5. M Revenge against Shawnee Mission resulted in Wyandotte's last victory. Joe McCaughey took scoring honors with seven points. The next three games spelled defeat for the Bulldogs as Hutchinson won, 47-34g and Argentine and Ward barely eked out victories by one and two points, respectively. In the Regionals held at Wyandotte at the end of the season, the XV basketeers were eliminated in the first round by Shawnee Mission, 32-20. On the following night the Canines ended their season with a 25-29 loss against Argentine. Rube Laird, Jim Hataway, and Don Burchfield were the leading scorers throughout the season. Don johnson received a trophy at the end of the season for making the highest percentage of free throws for the team. Bob Laird was unanimously selected as a member on the All-City Team. I-Ie was also chosen as one of the 15 outstanding high school players in Greater Kansas City. Top: JIM HATAWAY LARRY mis I Forward Guard Junior-I yr. Junior-I yr.

Page 43 Swimming For the fourth time in the past five years, coach Walter D. Roy's Water- dogs are the proud posses- sors of the Kansas State High School Swimming Championship. This title was earned February 22, when the azure blue waters of the Coffeyville nata- torium were churned into a frothy foam by the Wyandotte swimmers who outscored Wichita East 45 to 44 to claim the title. The co-captains of our State Championship team were Dee Roy and Jack Faerber. Dee is a senior and the youngest son of our swimming coach. He COACH W' D' ROY has been on the team four years and has proved to be a consistent point winner in the-40 yard free style capturing third in that event in the state meet. Dee is a bulwark on CHARLES GIBSON GENE KUBICKI by Bill Knepper the 160 yard free style relay team that placed second in the state meet. Jack is also a senior. He climaxed his swimming career at Wyandotte by winning first in the hundred yard free style in the state meet and was a valuable component of the 160 yard free style relay team that placed second. Bob Mapes is the only member of the team to have the distinction of being unbeaten all season. Bob, a breast- stroker, was not content with capturing first in the 100 yard breaststroke in the state meet, but went on to swim his fastest time of 1:07.1 to crack the state record by 2.5 seconds. He has also been a member for the last two years of the state championship medley relay team. One other third of this two year state championship medley relay team is Don Mather, a backstroker. Don was undefeated in the 100 yard backstroke during the regular season and scored a second in that event in the state meet. Alton Wilson is the other third of this medley team and also captured many points this season in the 100 yard free style. Our diving department was headed by Earl Anderson, a junior, and Charles Hudson, a senior. They placed fourth and fifth respectively in the state meet to help amass the points to return the swimming crown to Wyandotte.

Tom crowned his stellar per- fe f formances by capturing first in the 880 yard run in the state meet in 1946. George Kanas, a flash in a dash, was a member of the mile relay team that placed third in the state meet last year. COACH PAUL STARBUCK Rounding out the senior lettermen we find Lyle Peck, a lightfooted-dashmang Bill Brownrigg, and Dee Roy, both middle distance men, George Corbett, distance runner and a bulwark in the relays, Aubrey Bland and Don Burch- field highjumpersg Don Cunningham, a hurdlerg and Don Hufford, who aims for the sky in the pole vault. Three sophomores were awarded varsity letters last year. Francis Little Joeu Atkins and Bill XVebb earned their letters in the middle distance runs, while Joe McCaughey proved to be a fleet-footed dash man. Their return as lettermen this year round out the thirteen. Although they didn't letter last year, Bill Boosmann and Ray Hassig will be relied on for firsts in the shot put, along with Jack Faerber in the javelin throw, and Dean Hosmann in the discus. Paul Starbuck will assume the post of head track coach succeeding Lester Ramsey who did a commendable job in putting the 1946 team into shape and keeping it that way. Coach Ramsey was assisted by Don Kyle who took charge of the second team and Jim Seay who un- officially coached the Freshmen. The tracksters start the season with the Big Six Invitational Tournament at the Municipal Auditorium March lst. The track season officially opens with the Ottawa relays held April 4th. The city track meet follows on our field April 11. Last year Wyandotte climaxed victories at the expense of Shawnee and Argentine by running rough shod over all local opposition to win the city track meet. Following the city meet, the team annually journeys to Lawrence to participate in the K. U. relays. Strong teams from all parts of the Sunflower state take part in this event. Last year Wyandotte placed sixth among the host of teams represented. The Baker Relays at Bald- win take place the following weekend. Tom White set Page 46 by Bill Knepper a new record in this meet by running the 880 in 2:06.2 minutes last year to help place our team in fourth position. Coach Starbuck plans to take the team to the St. Joseph Relays April 24th and then to Baldwin the following day. The first week in May is the date of the triangular meet that finds our team host to Topeka and Ottawa. Wyan- dotte won this meet last year when it was held at Ottawa. The athletes now find themselves in the opening round of the state wide contest that pits our tracksters against those of such formidable class AA schools as Wichita East, Wichita North, and Lawrence. The state regionals for this section of the state last year found Wyandotte scoring points in every event to win first place. A new record was set when three Wyandotte tracksters, Phillips, Tucker and McCaughey placed first, second and third in the 100 yard dash. The opening round over, the team moved to the state meet the following week. Don Yeager, a Wyandotte lad, led the field to win a first in the javelin throw. Tom White scored a first in the 880 and for the third successive year H. L. Hammond placed in the broad jump with a second. The mile relay team of George Kanas, H. L. Hammond, Charles Moberly and Jack Phillips added a third place. Don Hufford with the aid of his bamboo pole tied for fourth place and Hugh McCaughey tied with six others for fourth in the high jump to net Wyandotte a total of 19 3X7 bitterly contested points. The state meet will be held at Wichita this year. Here,s hoping the thirteen lettermen and their teammates will prove the number thirteen unlucky for their opposition.

Captained by Marvin Smith, pitcher, and Harold White, hard-hitting first base- man, the squad can rely on lettermen Howard Ad- cock, Walter Hicks, John Winters, and Don Wilson. Last year Wyandotte's chances for a state victory were cut short when they lost the first round of the regionals at Haskell Institute.

' The Girls' Athletic Association is a club in which all girls attend- ing Wyandotte and interested in sports may be members. First organized in 1912, it is one of the most popular clubs for girls. This year, girls had to become members of the G. A. A. before they could take part in the after school sports. For the members of G. A. A., this year has been nine months Home-Room Basketball Captains Page S0 chock-full of fun and activity. Through our new home room system, the G.A.A. has held a series of elimination tournaments. The first was the volley ball tournament. Each class held their own individual tournament, then the winner of each class played until there were two top teams left. In the finals, the seniors met the freshmen, and although it is rumored that the freshmen played a good game, they let the senior team have the championship. The next activity was a basketball tournament that was played out in the same way. Early in the spring Wyandotte sponsored a Sports Day for girls. Six to eight girls were chosen from each school to form a basketball team of their own. Schools that were repre- sented in the Sports Day tournament were Argentine, Rosedale, Junior College and Wyan- dotte. Favorite sports were tennis, baseball, soccer, archery and swimming. G. A. A. is sponsored by Miss Helen Barnett and Miss Ardis Hill. Back row, left to right: M. Richards, C. Grove, B. Kraner, J. Raynor, J. Beck, B. Ogden, N. J. Carson, B. Hatfield, O. Flores, P. Tevis, S.

Back in late summer, while most Wyandotte studes,' were busy saturating themselves with August sunshine, members of the 1947 Pantograph staff were hard at work selling advertisements in preparation for their twenty- eighth year of publication. This yearis staff was composed of eight girls and eight boys under the direction of Mr. G. W. Corporon. Despite the fact that they were hampered by paper shortages, increased material costs, and higher labor costs, the staff managed to publish 28 issues, received a first class rating from the National Scholastic Press Association, and was ranked by the National High Schools Publicity Bureau as one of the top ten high schools in the nation for excel- lence in school publicity. Two staff members merited individual awards for their achievements-Peggy Miller, art editor, received a special commendation from Kansas University for her Co-editors .......... Page 1 editors ..... Page 2 editors ..... Page 3 editors ..... Sports editors .......... Assistants .............. block prints. Louis Jobst, first semester co-editor, made the One Grand Club, membership into which is granted to those who have had one thousand column inches of material published. Three specials', were printed by the staff this year- the 6-page football issue, the 6-page issue honoring the swimming and basketball teams, and the Cub issue. This year also marked the advent of several new columns and the use of a symposium interview concerning important student questions. Two boys, David Day and Donald I-Iufford, were correspondents for the local newspapers. As in the past, copies of each edition were sent to former Wyandotters in the armed forces. Highlighting the year's social events were a line party for staff members thrown by the Cubs and the trip to Lawrence to attend the Kansas University Journalism Conference.

I had often wondered how the Quiverian got its name, and after searching the old annuals found the reason, and thought perhaps I would pass it on. When the old high school was called the Kansas City Kansas High School the yearbook had been under the names of the Jayhawker, the Pathfinder, the Spectator, the Periscope, the Rodeo, the Ace and the K book. But in 1921 a committee of students met for the sole purpose of choosing a permanent name for their annual. A bit of colorful history was the inspiration for the naming of the Wyandotte Quiverian. During the sixteenth century a group of adventurers traveled across the wild, uncivilized land of Quivera in search of the Seven Cities of Cibola, claimed by the Indians to be made of gold and silver. But after months of fruitless wanderings the group was convinced that the redskins had deceived them, but what they did find was an abundant land, of which the state of Kansas was a part. Thus, in choosing the name Quiverian, the students believed it was unique, artistic, and yet had a local significance. Perhaps the school annual hasnit always followed the same pattern but the ideas have been the same--to include all the school activities possible in one book, and to present them in a manner that is interesting not only now but in years to come. by Charlene Lazrbbrook And so the twenty-sixth edition of the Quiverian was scarred, under the fine supervision of Mr. Lawrence Tharp, who helped us weed out the minor details and who kept us at a happy medium. Knowing that the first impression is important, the editors, Fred Cross and Charlene Lash- brook, asked Brian Dawber to design the cover, and Marjorie Jenree made a wonderful set of division pages. The cry was for 'Qmore picturesn and Dick Gruendel did a splendid job in supplying the snap shots. Taking her place as associate editor was Janet Gregory. Sports editor Gerald Rushfelt, assisted by Bill Knepper and Kenith Howard, covered the sports events and did the write ups. When the senior pictures arrived, Carol Nickum was in charge of all the cutting and pasting that goes along with the senior section. Heading the club section, Barbara Pack was kept busy seeing to it that all the clubs had their pictures taken. Ruth Lois Abramson, Barbara Hat- field, Eileen Kruger, Marie Maze, Mary Frances McCain, Joyce Merritt, Esther Metaxas, and Norma Van Dorn each did her part of the endless job of cutting, pasting, and typing. Our part is done-the book is yours now, and we all hope you like it! 5?

Rehearsing in class, out of class, in the Recital Hall, the Auditorium or what have you, the 1947 Radio Produc- tion class continued to broadcast a fifteen minute program of varied entertainment entitled This is Wyandotte once weekly through the courtesy of Station KCKN. In its second year of production since resuming classes after the War, the class stresses such qualities as accuracy of interpretation, dependability of performance, knowledge of radio equipment and technique, and the acquiring of a pleasing radio voice. Page 74 During the earlier part of the year, the class, under the direction of Miss Florence E. Hoar, spent a great deal of time in learning the terms, techniques, and requirements in preparation for the actual broadcasting series, which started in late October and continued until the close of school. This year, more emphasis was placed on script Writing than had been done in the paSt, with the result that more original scripts were produced by the students than ever before. Each member of the class was given the opportunity to write, direct, and participate in the program. Highlighting the year's work were the special Thanksgiving and Christmas programs, and com- petition against other schools' dramatic depart- ments at the Annual KU Speech and Drama Festi- val held at Lawrence in April. Officers of the class Were: Ted Clevenger, president, Pat Lynch, vice-president, Shirley Lansky, secretary, Fred Cross, treasurer.

Debate by Fred C7051 Leff lo righf: Fred Cross, Helen Brofherson, Couch Leonard Jensen, Shirley Jenkins, Ted Clevenger. Getting off to a bad start in their first tournament, the Wyandotte Barking Dogs caught a spark a week later and remained kindled for the rest of the season to win one tournament, finish second in two others, and capture third place in the state finals. The twenty-three students who are enrolled in the debate class started to work early in September collecting material, typing briefs, filing cards, and acquiring the terminology of the question. After trying several com- binations, Coach Leonard Jensen finally produced a winning combination of a two-man-two girl team. Came mid-November, and the season started in earnest with the Newton tournament, in which the Jensenites failed to place. Undismayed, one week later at Topeka, Wyandotte turned out to be a surprise package by battling their way through stiff opposition to place second, losing only to Russell, Kansas, in the finals. Journeying to Pittsburg the following Friday, the package continued its surprises, defeating Russell and Springfield to bring the Tri-State Meet trophy home to WF Opponents out west then began to realize that they had some competition from eastern Kansas. At El Dorado, Wyandotte, no longer an underdog, continued its streak by winning 12 out of 14 rounds to place second. They bowed to Newton in the finals. Early in January, Wyandotte was host to its tenth annual invitational tournament, the largest ever held here. Fifty teams, representing two states participated. Wyan- dotte, though going through the tournament undefeated dropped out of the elemination rounds. The rneet was won by Russell with Newton second. By taking second place in the regionals, the W debaters were eligible to attend the state finals at Kansas University. Here they took third place and had the satis- faction of being the only team to beat the state champion Russell debaters. The season's record was 122 wins, 25 losses. Accord- ing to Poppa Jensen, it was as fine a year as we've had at Wyandotte in a long time.

Their par- ents CMother, that isj demonstrated the patience needed to deal with teen-age folk. We all wondered how Judy could possibly get out of all the predicaments in which she was involved, but Judy in her inimitable way, succeeded in the end. A fine job was done by the cast and Mr. William Knapp, dramatics coach. Of course, in this play as well as the others, many people besides the cast were needed to make it a success. Page 76 Junior Play WI'0!A2l' QOOJB 7, A fast-moving 3-act comedy, Brother Goosen was the play given by the Seniors this year. Jeff, our dear Brother Goose, took it upon him- self to raise his younger brother and sisters. In this attempt, he not only accomplished his task but also went a step further. He found himself a lovely bride. Through the course of the play, he solved the problems of each member of his orphaned family. First, there was Hy and her uncon- trollable passion for football, then Wes, his motorcycle, and his Southern girl friend, Eveg then Carol and her boxes of Wheat Puffies. Of course, Peggy who chose matrimony instead of hosiery vending, added enough of that stuff called romance to interest those so inclined. Humor, human interest and romance, all blended together, totaled up to a worthy production. Mr. William Knapp was the director.

It was drama interwoven with the dis- tresses of a country girl who trys to crash society, and romance with the affections of a Student Queen and a certain college Casanova. Considerable time and money went into the produc- tion to give it a nice setting, good publicity, and a fine cast.

Page 77 Assemblies . . . More student talent was included in Wyandotte assemblies this year than ever before. Outside entertainers also performed, completing the schedule of programs presented to student audiences. One of the first assemblies was presented by the Girls' League, explaining the various clubs and activities to new girls. In February the Girls' League and Y-Teen Organization also sponsored a program featuring Howard Cleeves and his Midnight Movies. Other speakers included Elzie Brown, the memory expert, Hanz Rosenhof from the Rotary Club, and Virgil Morey, who talked about animals and birds. In December Captain Art Hook, a deep sea diver talked on the submarine world. George DeMott, juggler, V. John Malik Verda, who talked on Oriental life and gave Oriental dances and songs, and Loring Campbell, a magician, appeared in assemblies during the spring. Some of these pro- grams were presented to the whole school, and others as class meetings. V Students had an opportunity to win prizes when the radio program It Pays to be Smart, came to Wyandotte. Richard Gruendel was the first prize winner, and Bill Knepper second. The annual Hi-Y talent show was given in January, in which Bob Biggins, playing Boogie on the piano, won first, Mary Lou Crayne, pianist, won second, Chester Smith, singer, won third, and Martha Sioulas, singer, won fourth. Page 78 by fame! Gregory Wyandotte's music department made large contributions to the list of assemblies this year. The orchestra presented its annual concent on january 22, and the band presented its concert in March. The vocal and instrumental music departments worked together to present a humorous operetta, The Pirates of Penzance, this spring. In coopera- tion with the physical education department they also presented a variety show. In April the University of Kansas Mens' Glee Club came to sing before an all school assembly. The matinee performances of the Kay Cee Play, junior and Senior class plays, and the Dramatics Club play were all given in regular assemblies. The drama and music departments together made the annual Christmas assembly as stirring and beautiful as it has always been. Pep assemblies were held at various times during the year to show the teams that the students were behind them. Notable among them were the foot- ball rally with Dr. Phog Allen of K. U. as speaker, the one in which a group of Kay Cees dressed as players crowned a football king, and the snake dance held in the stadium. This year, as ever, watching good programs in Wyandotte's beautiful auditorium has been a source of pleasure to the entire student body. Top row: Lillian Murphy, Christmas Play, Christmas Assembly.

Page 79 ' Partie l 0 O by janet Gregory ' w ' 4 t Q The Wyandotte bulldog has had a busy social season in '47. lt's a good thing that he is a social minded fellow for he has been attending everything from bowling tournament to prom. The new student council has been responsible for the unusual number of mixers that the bulldog has attended during the year. Individual classes have worked with the council to present some of these, which have been held in both the boys' and girls' gyms. Circle dances, giving everyone, no matter how bashful, a chance to dance, have been a feature of this year's mixers. The bulldog won't soon forget the Sweetheart Hop presented by the Club. There he watched a floor show put on by the husky athletes, and saw Don Wilson and Beverly White crowned Sweetheart King and Queen. In the fall the Kay Cees annual football banquet and dance was held at Wyandotte. With the decorations, colored lights, and soft music, the bulldog could hardly recognize his old, familiar Page 80 Social Hall. The Kay Cees presented their second formal banquet in March, this time in honor of the basketball and swimming teams. The bulldog never missed a one of the Girls' League parties, either. The first of these was the Hi Jinks, a hike followed by a picnic at Kensington Park. In the course of the year the Girls' League also presented a bowling tournament, and all-school ice skating and roller skating parties. For a long time the Wyandotte bulldog looked forward to the Junior-Senior Prom, and when it came he wasn't disappointed. For in May the juniors honored the seniors with a party well worth waiting for. And when the school year was over and the bulldog could look back, he decided that this year's parties were many, and varied enough to suit anyone's tastes.
