In future years the memory of what we did here will perhaps be for us even more a source of pleasure than was our participating in the various school activities at the time. For the purpose of helping to make this true and for the sake of preserving those memories, we publish this bock. Its value, of course, will be enhanced with the passing of each school year and the enevitable separation from those who are so dear to us. ' Soon we will be in new places, doing new things, and making new friends. That is progress-that is life, but our sincere hope is that we will never forget the happy days we worked and played together in dear old Yates Center High School. The production of this book to record and hold your memories was made possi- ble by the contributions of the various merchants and business firms, by the work of Miss Trueblood and the art department, and by the efforts of the other teachers, and especially of Mr. Henry Horsch, our faculty sponsor, and Mrs. Horsch. To them we desire to express our appreciation.

With the departure of this class the high school will lose many talented students who have displayed extraordinary abilities in music, debate, dramatics, and leadership. ' The faculty sponsors of the class for the year of 1938-1939 were James McDonald and Elwood Jones, whose efforts and help were greatly appreciated by the seniors. The class colors, pink and silver, added much to the splendor -of the Junior- Senior Banquet which was given May 5th. TD BRDADER FIELDS To Broader Fields we seniors go Where we shall reap what we shall sow. Our places here we leave to you, Our work we leave for you to dog The honor of our school must grow. We leave you here. Short days ago VVe worked, worked hard, felt vict'ry grow, Played here with you, but now we go To Broader Fields. Take up our struggle with the foe. To you from passing hands we throw The torch. Yours, now, to do, or die. If you but try, as we did try, You'll be prepared to go, some day, To Broader Fields. -by Margaret Liiane Doyle.

THE .IOURNALISM POICM Behind the shelves in the library, Behind the panels of glass, There is a small and untidy room That harbors the journalism class. . This class is taught by Mr. Jones: Our number is thirteen. One day he is so nice to usg The next day he's 'very mean. 4 He makes us work so very hard, VVriting themes by the score, And when we finish and hand them in, He tells us to write s'ome more. Today he told us to write a poem, But the words in my brain don't rhyme, And so I'm going to stop right here And let sleep occupy my time! -By Lauren Frevert.

Carl Behrend, a young writer, has written a play, The Enemy, but he cannot sell it. His father, August Behrend, a profiteer, is opposed to his son's writing, and wants him to do something worth- while. Bruce Gordon, a young Englishman and a very good friend of Carl, is in love with Pauli Arndt who loves Carl, and who marries Carl. Times get worse as the months slip by and the people are starving. Word finally comes that Carl was killed in battle. The war ends soon after that and everything is very quiet. Pauli gets Bruce to help her sell Carl's play, The Enemy, in London, and they find peace together. t0Il. Page 37 The Junior High had a very successful year in all their activities. In music, a new idea was carried out in organizing separate boys' and girls' glee clubs. In athletics, the season of 1938-39 has been a successful one so far as building boys is concerned. Out of the 35 boys in the Junior High School, 27 have taken part in some kind of athletics. Many of these boys will be participating in senior high athletics in a few years. Whether or not these boys won or lost their games, they were good sports and made many friends among the other schools. The basketball captains were: lightweight, Bill Truebloodg heavyweight, Bob Oswald. These two boys shared and carried their responsibilities very well. The boys elected Ward Barnett as their track captain and he surely has been a good leader both in athletics and as a scholar. Sarah Norris, the captain of the girls' team was a leader in spirit as well as in securing points for the team.

We had two good coaches who made us play cleang McDonald and Grafel are the men that I mean. We lost the first three, but not without fightg The Wildcats were fighting, but couldn't work right Then with Garnett we hit our stride: When the game was over the Wildcats had tied. We then took the next four games in a rowg Our hard work and learning was beginning to show. Then we made ready for the big turkey day, For it was Burlington we were to play. We were both ticd in the championship race: This was our chance to give Yates Center first place. The game turned out wrong and Burlington won. But we had a good season and lots of fun. --By James Vadnais Mic ATHLETICS Page 40 S BASKETBALL Competition in the Tri-Valley League for Yates Center began with the opening of this year's basketball season. The teams competing for the first time in this league are Neodesha, Fredonia, Cherryvale, Eureka, Humboldt, Burlington, Garnett, and Yates Center. f The Wildcats' schedule consisted of fourteen league games, and although they chalked up but three victories, their play consistenly improved until at the end of the season they compared favorably with any team in the conference. In the first round the Wildcats won one, and lost six. In the second round Yates Center defeated Cherryvale and Humboldt by decisive margins and lost to five teams, one in an overtime battle with Burlington and the others by close scores. Howard Martin was high point man of the season with Beanway and Chaffin closely following. FIRST ROW: Lauren Ryan, Kenneth Stockebrand, Hal Widner, Clark Hollinger, Bud Beanway, Howard Martin, Charles Ragland, Kenneth Briggs, Coach Mc- Donald. SECOND ROXV: Pete Stockebhrand, Dcnzil Philo, Bill Lamb, Fred Chaffin, Glenn Tollc, Rex Butler, Ronald Naylor. Page 41 rg ' 'f .aaa si., M FIRST ROW: Billy Steiner, Bud Weide, Conrad Heinman, Paul Frevert, Fred Stef- fen, Bill Gregg, Lee Culver, Max Colaw,. Carl Williamson. SECOND ROW: Jimmie Smith, Emerson Toedman, Carl Smith, Tom Stockebrand. Richard Vadnais, Bob Ryan, Richard Leighton, Leo Stockebrand, Billie Dean Randall, Gene Robie. THIRD ROW: Coach McDonald, Kenneth Briggs, Francis Almond, Deward Dassow. Lauren Frevert, Hal Widner, Bert Coleman, Bud Beanway, Rex Butler, Assis- tant Coach Grafel. FOURTH ROW: Richard Slane, Junior Stockebrand, Pete Stockebrand, Denzil Philo, Fred Chaffin, James Vadnais, Herbert Monk, Bill Lamb, Glenn Tolle, Wayne Jaynes. Starting out rather dismally, the Yates Center VVildcats snapped out of it in :nidseason by winning four straight games, a record which has not been equaled by a Yates Center team since 1931, and finished the season with a five hundred per- centage. The season started with the Wildcats playing Fredonia, Gridley, and Eureka, three of the best football teams of Southeastern Kansas. Yates Center lost all of them by large scores. In the next game Yates Center showed what was to be expected of them later in the season by holding Garnett, their first league opponent, to a 6 to 6 tie. The Wildcats really came to life in the next game and beat Madison 32 to 0. Butler scored three touchdowns. The following week the Wildcats defeated Hum- L-oldt 13 to 7. Chaffin scored both Y. C. touchdowns. Yates Center then followed this up by defeating Altoona and LaHarpe, both in the same week. On Thanksgiving Day the Wildcats watched the league championship slip out of their grasp by being defeated by Burlington 26 to 6. Rex Butler was high point man of the season with seven touchdowns closely followed by Fred Chaffin with six touchdowns and two extra points. Bert Coleman was tops in gaining extra points as well as scoring two touchdowns. FOOTBALL knmm , . Page 1,3 VIDLET WITHERS PAUL WILLE HE SENIOR CLASS is very proud this year to have both the King and Queen chosen from its ranks. Each person buying an annual was given a certain number of votes for whom they considered the most popular girl and boy in school. Paul Wille is the Kingg he has been our Prince Charming for the past three years, and this year he has advanced to the throne. Violet Withers, as has been shown by the results of the contest, is the most popular girl in school. Our Queen has a very winning personality and is exceptionally active in all school ac- tivities. The contestants from the other classes are also very popular as the results show. Donna Hollingsworth and Maurice Clemens were chosen to represent the Junior class. The most popular students from the Sophomore class are Junior Stockebrand and Virginia Fry. Richard Scott and Betty Schnell were the Freshman candidates.

SENIOR CLASS PROP!-IECY Dear Donna: It is such a lovely spring day and the scenery is so interesting. This weather is really something to write home about. I do wish you could have come with me on this trip, for I have seen so many of our fellow classmen here in New Yorkg and I intend to visit a minute or two with all of them I can find on my -trip across country. Say, Donna, I know what-I'll save this letter and write it in diary form-I believe you would like it. NEW YORK: I went shopping today, and who do you think I met in Lord and Taylors- Lola Jackson! She is teaching dramatics at Northwestern University and was here in New York with one of her students. She was here to introduce this student to some big producer. Lola knows talent and said this girl certainly possessed it. Oh! Say! Lola said that Richard Beanway was graduating from Northwestern this yearg he enrolled the fall of '39--better send him a congratulations card. Lola asked me to have dinner with her, and you know me, Donna- I can't resist dinner-and especially the Rockefeller Plaza. Guess what? Howard Hartwig is the chef there. Geraldine Rehmer was having dinner with her husband who is a producer on Broadway-Oh! Donna! he is the most gorgeous person ever! And Page 46 umm F V W . I ,, , , ' 'w w 1, ,, 'I , . .. I, - ,I -at , . . ,:- ,,,t MEN I i .ii-ttI'i1s'1',.l:l',.avi -..mi .IWW VSIIMH ma lmm.itItwQIAIti1ial,,lar1t1.i,,11ili'wiiamm,zlm,a 'tmma fi f w r ' it H WM iv H1'r Geraldine will do-fLoia and I noticed she resembles that movie star that was so popular in the good old days gMyrna Loy-remember? Geraldine suggested that Lola and I run over to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel and ask for the boss fso, we did. Donna, Margaret Doyle is managing the business of the hotel, and here's a package--Bert Coleman's orchestra is playing there. You remember Bert don't you? The trumpet player who was supposed to have had red hair? Oh! and you might know-Maxine McGranahan is the featured songtress with the bandg she is one of the ten best-dressed women in the United States. Bob Pugh is playing bass in the organization--as a, side line of course, as his trade is the manu- facturing of bassesfgood ones I heard-they say the mouth pieces are adjustable without the use of pliers. Do you remember that quiet little Adams girl that played baritone sax in the high school band? Well, guess what? She is playing, of all things, a harp in the New York Philharmonic in the winter, and trap drums with some swing band in New Jersey in the summer. I have heard that symphony and swing can't be mixed. but I guess any woman who can hold a chair in the Philharmonic could do anything. Well, I saw a play this evening+Donna, Genevieve Robbins played the leadgoh! I was thrilled to tears. and when the show was over, I went back stages and oh! Donna, she asked to take me around New York and show me the sights- vvell, we went to the radio station where Manly Shook has charge of the television department. Frances Briggs was there to listen to a program-Frances is 21 profession- al ice skater-she moved to Colorado, you know they have ice out there. By the way-perhaps you heard the program we attended-it is the one on which Maxine liuck's husband is chief comedian-you know she is a model. Harvey Weide was in a room orating a political speech---Genevieve informed me that he practically runs New York-he is like La Guardia of '39. liverette Hayes was there with Harvey as Mr. Hayes owns the New York Herald Tribune and Harvey has Everette wrapped around his finger-you see these big political bosses can make these newspaper men do anything they want them to. Just as we were leaving we met a well-dressed gentleman who ran up to Genevieve and said, Miss Robbins, I have seen you play-you are wonderful, - W- .fr-I tv--,-Ve.. I tn min ,I ir-r Page 47 do you remember me? -Well, we sure did--Clayt0n PeCk, R New Y0l'k DIHYDOY- a.nd money-Wheeeee-You see, Donna-he bought that farm there in Woodson fC0Ul1iY and as luck would have it-they struck oil on it-why Clayton is swimming in money. n , Well, I received a letter' this morning from Bernice, isn't that Sieker girlfs job something! She is supposed to the a scientist, but I think she is a-shall we say-grafter-being paid by the government to count the grains of sand in the Sahara desert in order to determine what is meant by The Sands of Time. I intend to visit with the president of the United States while there. We have some- thing to brag about there-we can' say the president went to school with us or we went to school with the president. WASHINGTON Well, I'm in Washington, D. C.: it is a beautiful city-and Delano Beanway, our mighty president, has not changed much since the good old days when he was known as Bud, except he is awake all day now. He explained that he had sleeping sickness about five years ago and caught up on all that lost sleep. He is going to have a law passed prohibiting pool halls,. for he maintains they are demoralizing the youth. Said he was sorry about Richard's appearing to be so slow in his studies, for he knew Richard could amount to something if he would just get his mind off the girls. Cleo Sterling is a very efficient Senatorg Kansas did the right thing when they sent her to Washington. Shirley Ann Stoll is here visiting Cleo-Shirley married some cattle man out there in Woodson county, didn't she? Kathryn Mulsow is chief librarian here in the Library of Congress. I saw Fred Chaffin in town today-in town on business, I suppose-he is a navy officer of some high rank-but those things are too deep for me. Boy-he looks good in a uniform. I heard today that Betty Hicks is dean of some exclusive girls' school out here around Washington, but unless my informer can think of the name I won't get to see Betty. Eleanor Stoll is riding instructor. She owned a riding acadmy in Kansas City for awhile-she said it was really funny to watch some Yates Center school teachers ride. KENTUCKY Well it is a rainy day here in Louisville today. The Kentucky Derby was held yesterday, Donna, I saw Violet Withers at the racesg she owns the Be-ll Tele- phone company now-also Harriet Bauersfeld, who owns some very fine horses. I went into a drug store here to get a headache pill las I had lost on my bettingsl, and there was Lauren Frevert-owner-and say-there was something mighty fishy- well to tell the truth-there was a little gambling joint in the back room. You know how those Kentuckians are.! Kinda funny that some people would visit in Lexington-t-Hm! I'm leaving for Chicago this evening. ILLINOIS Chicago is quite some cityg Michigan boulevard is as fine a street as it was said to be, too, and Mr. and Mrs. Vic Hazen fthe former Betty McConnellJ live on the strasse -in a house as big as the White House-so does Virgil Sellers- and for that matter he has money enough to live anywhere what with his banking business and crooked politics. Yes, Donna, he is the political boss of Chicago-Demo- crat, too. Betty Starks is an interior decorator here in Chicago, and Matilda Heffern is a nurse. Charles Drain is teaching violin in the Chicago Conservatory of Music. Our old friend Rex has a residence here in Chicago-but he spends most of his time out on a desert isle--where he writes his Advice 'to the Love Lorn column for United States and foreign papers. MISSOURI Well, Donna, here I am in Saint Louis getting closer home all the time. I saw Hilda Light and Hazel Steele today. They are in the confectionery business: they manufacture the Y. C. Bar-hard shell of chocolate over a soft center of marsh- Page 48 . - I lili I i t W t mmal tl l ll l I l l mallow-they said the fact that it was hard shell over soft center made them think of Y. C. students' heads so they called the bar- Y. C. Hilda informed me that Hazel Miller is here in Saint Louis-she married a doctor. Wendell Stockebrand is also here for, as you know, he has become a railroad executive, of the Missouri Pacific which has its headquarters here. I'm leaving for Kansas City tomorrow-I won't write in my diary to you again until I've seen the kids there. Oh! Donna! Today I picked up the paper and saw a big headline reading Ace Air Pilot Landing Here Today-Wayne Jaynes of air fame landing at Kansas City Airport at two o'clock this afternoon -I called a, taxi-and gee -it was William Lewis-he owns the Lewis Cab Company of Kansas City. Wayne is looking fine-he said he had been in New York to see a play taheml. Wayne hadaspecial plane made by Charley Wilhite's company. I decided this afternoon it was about time to have my hair cut, so I went to the Roses and Sweetpeas beauty parlor-and low and behold Lorraine Beine owns it. Mildred Smith was having her hair set-she is managing her brother's orchestra here in Kansas City-and is married to the vocalist of the orchestra- Ain't Love Grand. Lorraine told me that Leroy Walker owned a chain of barber shops-and employed only women barbers. Who would have thought such a thing about Leroy. I was entering the Fox Tower today to hear the Smitherettes and met in the foyer Eleanor Bauersfeld and her husband, who is the weather forecaster for Kansas City and vicinity. YATES CENTER A fine person you are, Donna-I went to see you while I was in Yates Center and you had to be out of town-Well! I shall continue my letter and send it to you when my trip is finished. That is a strong rnonoply you have there in that Post and News combined. When did you buy those papers? Your husband took me to the show and dinner at Margaret Fulhage's X and X cafe. tMaybe I shouldn't have told you that.J So Virgil Steele carries the mail for the government in our fair city, and James Vadnais sells Packards and Fords twhat a combinationl. I met Maxine Walters in town and had a long conversation with her. She sang with a dance band out on the Pacific coast for a year, but she became home- sick and is now singing lullabies to somebody's chickens out on Sandy. Maxine says Basham Weide has a cattle ranch and is an old married man. DENVER Hubert Monk owns a pool hall here in Denver. Herb says he figured he would save money if he bought one. Paul Wille owns an apothecary store and is, of course, the chief druggist. Marjorie Randall is a combination of interior decorator, photographer, and portrait painter. Salt Lake City, Utah, harbors Tom Stockebrand, an insurance salesman. A good one, too, for he sold me another insurance policy. RENO My surprise came in Reno. I drove up to a filling station whose proprietor was Elwood Wrampe. Remember him? He told me that the movie star, Lot D0t,. was in Reno receiving her fourth divorce--as you know, Donna, Lot Dot means our friend, Dot Carnes. I went to see her-but could hardly find her for she was surrounded by her twelve dogs, three maids, and hundreds of suitors. Dot gave me a pass to get on the movie lot when I arrived in Hollywood. SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco-some city! Marjorie Randall arrived on a boat today from the Philippines where she has been teaching art. She has painted many well-known pictures. Marjorie Wrampe is the owner of a beauty parlor here. I used that pass Dot gave me-and, Donna, the Dassow boy is a real actor. He is not the least bit conceited over it either. Just think he went back out on the farm, and then the talent scout discovered him. Page 49 2 41 W wit 4. ,,, Today at twelve oclock I finished my trip--7-here in Washington, ,M xxxx where Verna Williams, who married a detective, has 'a residence. She Lust haDl!Qi!5dQ ag, to be at home, which is rare as she is quite a world traveler-Say Donna.. told me a choice bit of gossip-our friend, Marguerite Rallas, has accomplishewzw what Wally Simpson failed to do-she has married a king and is getting away with its Well at this time I have either seen or heard from every member of our 1939 Senior Class of Yates Center High School.
