by RUTH Lois ABRAMSON To promote the interests of Wyandotte High School, to encourage better school spirit, and to act as a medium of expression between the student body and the faculty, have been the principal goals of the fourteen journalistic seniors on the 1947-'48 Pantograph staff under the guid- ance of Mr. G. W. Corporon, advisor. A special edition commemorating the tenth anniversary of the new Wfyandotte, special editions honoring the foot- ball, basketball, and swimming teams, and a cub edition were included among the 50 issues put out this year. Eleven staff members received invitations to Quill 86 Scroll, international society for high school journalists. Chloris Larson received special recognition in the Na- tional Echo for several of her feature stories. Ruth Lois Abramson won honorable mention in a national Quill SL Scroll editorial contest. Outstanding event of the year and one that will long be re- membered was the annual staff-cub party given by the cubs. FIRST SEMESTER STAFF SECOND SEMESTER STAFF Editors ..................... .......

lluiverian by JANET GREGORY Left to right: Betty Swigart, Marie Maze, janet Gregory, Noralie Boylet, Betty Hatfield. A year of quiet but steady work went into the creation of your Quiverian for the year 1948. In September, after tentative plans had been made by Marie Maze, senior editor, Betty Hatfield, activi- ties editor, and Noralie Boyles, club editor, the outline for the book was arranged. Betsy Swigart went to work designing the cover and other art work throughout its pages. Mr. Lawrence Tharp, sponsor, took charge of photographing the activities at Wyandotte, besides his regular work of guiding and directing the staff in its work. As the seasons for the various sports came around, Kenith Howard, joe McCaughey, Robert Youmans, Vincent Wells, Gene- vieve Kolich, and John Welsh covered the events and recorded them.

And for the remaining clubs and activi- ties we turned to Ruth Abramson, Pat Brandt, Eleanor Guy, Arlene Heimburger, Dolores Hilt, Esther Metaxas, and Phyllis Riley for the write-ups. Joan Stroup worked as a photographer early in the year. The staff, one of the largest the Quiverian has ever had, has done its best to produce a book to please each and every Wyandotte student. lt is our sincere hope that when another ten years-has passed you will be able to glance over a copy of the Quivetian and see an accurate portrait of Wyandotte in 1948. ,, P ,.i 3- t ' 'Ee .,.

Debate by SHIRLEY JENKINS Q i' 1153- f '- ' 'AV' 5 if fiffr - :s g Carl Ambler I 'net Cregory Shirley jenkins Bill Kerr. , a 1 The debate squad this year participated in five tournaments, bringing home second place trophies from Atchison and Pittsburg, and taking third place in the Regionals. For the first meet of the season the Barking Dogs traveled to Topeka, where they failed to place. Un- dismayed, the following week they journeyed to the Tri State meet at Pittsburg to battle their way through six rounds, defeat El Dorado in the semi-finals and lose only to Russell in the finals. Shawnee Mission was the next tournament which the debaters attended and it was also the first tourna- ment of the year in which four man teams were used. Though Wyandotte came through six preliminary rounds they lost, in a mathematical finish, to El Dorado in the semi-finals. Early in january, Wyandotte was host to its eleventh annual invitational tournament. Twenty- one schools were entered representing debaters from both Kansas and Missouri. Though the Wyandotte team was eligible for the semi-finals they dropped out Page Twenty-fix v after the elimination rounds. William Chrisman captured the first place trophy with El Dorado taking second. A The final tourney of the season for the squad under Coach Jensen was held at Atchison. With verbal thrusts and parries, with ringing rebukes and stinging rebuttals the battling Bulldogs stormed through to the semi-finals where they defeated their old nemesis, Topeka, and in a very close debate lost to El Dorado in the finals. The regionals were held once again at Lawrence, Kansas, and here the Bulldogs took third. The winner of the state meet was, for the second year in succession, Russell. Wichita North captured the second place trophy. The debate class was one of the largest in the his- tory of Wyandotte, with thirty-one students out for debate. The squad won better than 85 per cent of the debates in which it participated. ln the words of Coach Jensen, 'Tm very well pleased with the record set this year.
