Since that time approx- imately l,347 graduates have been sent out from the portals of their Alma Mater to face life with its victories and defeats. Changing conditions bring changing needs. New buildings were erected to take care of the increased demand for space and equipment, the present building being erected in 1924. These changing needs should also be reflected in a changing curri- culum. This year the Yates Center High School has sought to orient the course of study with the needs of its future citizens. As a result of preparatory work for the North Central Study of Secondary School Standards held here this year, the present objectives of education in the Yates Center High School have been outlined by the faculty and administration as follows. l. To develop an adequate command of the fundamental processes. 2. To develop in each individual an appreciation of the fine arts CLiterature. music, art, and dramaticsl. 3. To teach pupils an appreciation of our democratic form of government so that they may become Worthy and useful citizens. 4. To help boys and girls value and conserve good health. 5. To offer guidance in vocations, avocations, and in education generally. 6. To inculcate Within the pupil: A. An active inerest in self governmentg B. The practice of independent thinkingg C. A tolerant attitudcg D. Rational skepticism, 2 h list Mllilllllf iii iii' 'iii 'iff J' 1 E HINKING OF THE young immature Freshmen entering upon the new world of high school life as young, tender, green shoots breaking through the protecting soil which has served to keep out the harmful elements, one perceives that the two are alike in that they have outgrown their stage of germination and have entered upon a new un- familiar world. The ties of the old world are gradually broken as the dormant seeds are awakened and the tender shoots begin to grow. While developing they be- come exposed to the influences of this new world. In their push upward they grasp at everything. us- ing it if they can, casting aside the useless. This is the theme of the '42 Wildcat. The classes have been divided into three developmental stages of the young shoots: Tender shoots-Freshmen. Growing Grass-Sophomores and Juniors, Full Blown Grass-Seniors. -MW Y iii V, , +4 'i J ,ti H mf N Bscfiaafion l 1 OUR JOLLY FRIEND, THE MAN WITH A BAND AND A TWENTY TWO PIECE ALL GIRL SINFONIETTA. 4 To Mr. Dale Creitz, instrumental music instructor, the Senior class dedi- cates this 1942 issue of the Wildcat in appreciation of the countless hours he spends cheerfully teaching and guiding his music students. With his jovial and likeable personality he has always giv- en encouraging aid. At the same time he has instilled within his students an appreciative liking for good music and a desire to further their study of it. Contents Freshmen ................. ........

Supplying this need, the Administration and Faculty are important factors in helping this im- mature populace reveal their latent capabilities. Since they are so essential to the Freshmen, they have been included in this section together with certain classes and activities. These activities are ones which the underclass- men are encouraged to join that the skills thus acquired may be used throughout their high school career. A l ,QLVL ,iq 'Q .

Then for the noisy week when the Seniors had charge of initiation! The week's fun was climaxed by a picnic at the South Reservoir with the freshmen as the guests of the seniors. The scholarship record of the class was above reproach. Six members were on the first semester honor roll: Alice Brewer, Richard Heffern, Tom Smith, Lavonne Theobald, Vera Lee Turner, and Lou Etta Underwood. On May 2 four from their ranks, Ross McGinnis, Bernice Scheibmeir, Lucille Crumrine, and Lavonne Theobald, took part in the State Scholarship Tests. Ably directed by their president, Lavonne Theobald, the Freshman class made rapid progress in using Parliamentary procedure with ease and precision in all their class meetings. Unusually interesting programs were presented with an outstanding one on Sportsmanship Entering a saxophone solo in the Tri Valley Music Festival, Jimmie Lee Bennett was outstanding among the twenty-three talented freshmen enrolled in instrument- al and vocal music. The class also claims one of the majorettes, Pauline Awalt. Theda Brown and Boyd Wix were the King and Queen candidates. Eight boys were on the football squad and five on the basketball B-squad. None of them received letters but they still have three years in which to gain recognition. X 9 t is the youth of today who will have the task of rebuilding the world of tomorrow. So it is our task to help them to be responsible, moral, healthy, and hopeful citizens. Youth loves responsibility. They love the feeling of success in doing. This annual itself is an example. So let us provide the opportunities for our fine youth. Today democracy must not only be taught, it must be lived. To live democracy we need an educational system which teaches our boys and girls to think through situations- local, national and international. Let us not fail our youth!-but rather let us HI-Iold high the torch! You did not light its glow- 'Twas given to you by other hands. you know.

An enlightened citizenship is essen- tial to its social well being and progress. Whenever too little at- tention is paid to this great agency of democratic growth, the nation is bound to suffer through the inefficency of its people. N. L. LANCASTER. E P LESSIG E. L. KIRKPATRICK Prmcmal 2nd Semester principal lst semester X ll acuffbzf Efficient and accurate, even in minute details, Mr. Lancaster has made an excellent Superintendent as well as a teacher. He has always been willing to give suggestions and advice to all students, occasionally spicing conversations with a surprising bit of humor. Since he came here three years ago he has begun an annual Music Week and started the yearly Homecoming, both new ideas in Yates Center. He holds an A. B. degree from Phillips Uni- versity, and an M. Ed. from Oklahoma University. Miss Gunnerson, of the commercial department, has many friends in the community acquired by her active participation in community affairs and long years of service to the school. Having the reputation of insisting upon perfect transcriptions by her students, she and her department are often called upon to type tests, programs, records, and announcements by all def partments of the school. She has an A. B. degree and a Bachelor of Accts. degree from Bethany College, Lindsborg, and graduate work from Colorado State Teachers College, Greeley. Master mathematician, Miss Ireland is also sponsor of the pep club and Student Council, and is an expert amateur photogra- pher. With a B. S. degree from K. S. T. C., Pittsburg, her prepara- tion in mathematics was most thorough and extensive. She em- phasized the linking of the fundamentals and theory of mathe- matics with the practical application. Miss Ireland, always conscientious in her work, carried much of the responsibility for making the '41 Homecoming a success. In divers ways she has been an influence for good throughout the school. English, literature, journalism-these are the subjects Mrs. Sykes is credited with teaching on the enrollment blanksg but besides these subjects her pupils learn impressionable lessons in fairness, persistence, kindness and friendliness. Mrs. Sykes' work is her hobby. She spends countless hours working with her journalism class on the Wildcat's Howl, at- tempting to read all books reported on by her students Cin so do- ing she keeps herself well readl, and making out tests which she thoroughly enjoys if she thinks she has created one that will bring feigned sighs of despair from her class. She has a B. S. degree from K. S. T. C., Emporia, and graduate work at the Uni- versity of Kansas. Years of patient service as sponsor of the Girl Reserves has made Miss Geith remembered by her students. Her classes in English profit by her keen mind and learn from her great say- ings of famous people-one of which she writes on the black board each week. Not only is she a lover of literature, she her- self is an author. From Western Union College in LeMars, Iowa, she has an A. B. degree and graduate work at the University of New Mexico. A man with an engaging and delightful personality is Mr. Mohler, science and mathematics teacher. His many outside activities include the sponsorship of the Hi-Y Club. He spends much time at his hobby of gardening and poultry raising. Mr. Mohler received his A. B. degree from the University of Kansas, his B. S. in Education from Central Missouri State Teachers College at Warrensburg. He has taken graduate work at .Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia. 12 o Llcttfzq Chemistry and physics were the subjects taught by Mr. Lessig, who also was principal, taking both positions in the middle of the year. His knowledge of chemistry made him an excellent teacher. and his previous exper- ience in medicine provided practical applications of the subject. In the latter part of the year he took over part of the responsibility of sponsoring the senior class. He has an A. B. degree from the College of Emporia, has taken graduate work at Northwestern University and will receive his M. S. from Emporia State Teachers College this spring. A veteran faculty member. having taught social science in our school for the past seven years, Mr. Horsch is renowned as a faithful teacher and the sponsor of various school activities, including the nerve-racking and exacting task of supervisiong activity ticket sales He has served as the adviser of the annual staff for the past six years. He has an A. B. degree from Bethel College, Newton, and has taken graduate work from Claremont College, Claremont, California and Kansas University. Lawrence. After completing her first year as vocal music super- visor in the Yates Center schools. Miss Theresa Watson can survey her numerous achievements in the music de- partment with well-earned pride. By introducing a dif- ferent type of program, Miss Watson, through unceasinfg and punctilious efforts. was largely responsible for the success of the Christmas pageant. Miss Watson has a B. S. degree in vocal music from K. S. T. C.. Emporia. With a crash of symbols and a blare of music Mr. Creitz starts each day with a bang. On nice sunny days the band is on parade-practicing new formations he has worked out. Through assemblies. band concerts, contests. and marching exhibitions he has led them to receive the praise of all audiences. Mr. Creitz has a Bachelor of Music degree from Beth- any College, Lindsborg, and has done graduate work at Bethany and the University of Kansas. The leadership, sportsmanship. honesty. and sincerity of Coach McDonald exert a profound influence upon the youth of this community. Serving as Scoutmaster and playground director, he has contacted virtually every juvenile in Yates Center. and the resulting rise in the moral tone of the youth cannot be overestimated as manual training teacher he has improved department- al equipment. and the high quality of the work produced is a tribute to his teaching ability. But as athletic di- rector he wrought still greater changes and Coach's colorful gridiron and court squads marked a new era in Yates Center athletics. Her life is just one busy whirl of posters and decora- tions. When costumes and scenery for Christmas page- ants are to be made-Miss Sisson and her art classes are immediately called upon. Pep club and junior class sponsorship with the resultant Jr.-Sr. banquet, The Seaf' completed her various activities. She attained a B. S. degree in Education while attend- ing K. S. T. C., Emporia. 13 4 acuffy Petite and charming, Mrs. Margaret Anderson adapt- ed herself to the difficult role of dramatics coach when entering Y. C, H. S. in the midst of the second semester activities of this year. She teaches speech, Latin, English and dramatics. Everyone knows Mrs. Anderson by her sweet smile, sparkling eyes and pleasing personality. She won many friends during the short time she has been in Y. C. H. S. Mrs. Anderson has a B. S. degree from K. S. T.C, Pittsburg, and has done under graduate work at the University of Colorado. Miss Crocker was instructor of vocal home economics until she rcisgned her position in March.

With her neat white uniform, she was seen readily in the halls making friends with all students. She majored in home econom- ics and minored in music at Baker University and Kansas State College where she received her B. S. de- gree. Miss Pearson, with an attractive smile and an even temper, has made herself liked by students and fellow faculty members in the few short weeks she has been here. She was a co-sponsor of Girl Reserves, taking the place of Miss Crocker, whose faculty position she filled. Her degree is an A. B. from Kansas University. Maijorie Randall, our loyal and efficient office girl. has filled her exacting role the past year with patience and precision. When asked for an admit by a student, Marjorie would counter, Where's your excuse? And if you didntt have one, you went to class with both Unex- cused' and Eighth hour marked on your admit. She had a way with the students and was respected for her honesty and sincerity in dealing with them. Adaptability is one of Mrs. WooWard's greatest char- acteristics. She has substituted in practically every de- partment in the high school with ease and capability. Filling the vacancy left by Mr. Vecera in the midst or the second semester, she has won many friends by her pleasant smile and cooperative attitude. She has an A. B. degree from Simpson College, Indian- ola, Iowa, and has taken graduate work from University of Southern California, Los Angeles. In addition to teaching drainatics.

Some 900 young musicians cipated. ich stress was given to marching during the fall, the band treking to the Topeka Free Fair the first L of school, to Eureka for a football game, and to for an exhibition before a crowd estimated at O. ter a climatic performance on the football field be- n halves of the Homecoming game, the band forgot marching activities and began preparing for the al concerts of midwinter and early spring. These concluded by a triumpal appearance closing the annual Music Week. This concert received more 'able comment than any other given by the band I've been in Yates Centerl' said Mr. Creitz, who has completed five years as director of instrumental music. In the course of the year Mr. Oliver Hobbs, director from Liberty High School, Lawrence, Kansas, was ob- tained to hold an instrumental music clinic in Yates Center. The band enjoyed and benefited appreciably from the two hour workout they were subjected to by Mr. Hobbs, who has had wide experience in directing musical clinics. Lawrence Robison and Richard Scott served as presi- dents of the band, Lawrence being elected after Richard moved. The other officers were: Raymond Pingrey, vice president, Frances Shaefer, secretaryg Beverly West, librariang Clarence Nigh, Student Council representa- tive. On the march the band was led by Jean Neufeld. She was assisted by majorettes, Margaret Randall, Martha Ratts, Pauline Awalt. Danny Creitz claimed immediate attention as the band's mascot on all marching appear- ances. Danny is the son of the director. 'Judging from the reception given the band at the thirty public appearances made during the year, the criticism received at the Music Festival, and their every- day playing ability, I would say this is the best band Yates Center has ever produced both in marching and concert work, summed up the director. 15 Back Row: Left to Right-Martha Ratts, Margaret Randall and Mr. Creitz.

THE 22 GIRLS WITH THEIR DIRECTOR AND ORGANIZOR MR. DALE CREITZ ARE WINNING MUCH POPULARITY IN THEIR THIRD YEAR. Although boys are not discouraged none have yet tried to keep time with Mr. Creitz and his twenty-two girls. The all girl Sinfonietta has been building an in- creasing popularity throughout their four years of ap- pearing before Yates Center audiences. They accept every opportunity given them to play. Sharing an assembly with the mixed chorus the girls made a hit with the students by playing a wide variety of selections including a vocal chorus number. A major appearance of the year was the Vesper Service which set the tone for Music Week. Their attractive black and white formals blended beautifully with the quality 16 Relaxing in the Rows In an interim between Bo' of their music and made them pleasing to the eye well as to the ear.

The virtues of this past edition of Wildcat gridsters can never be sufficiently lauded. Their fighting spirit, school loyalty, and co-operation throughout the past season, both on the playing field and off, will always linger in the minds of the Wild- cat fans. Participants in 9 games, the proteges of Coaches McDonald and Vecera won 4, lost 2, and tied 3. In competition with Tri-Valley opponents, the Wildcats finished strong to tie for 4th place honors, with a .572 percentage. A squad of veterans and ardent recruits were speedily conditioned, under the capable guidance of their coaches, for their initial tilt with Gridley. The Wildcats made an impressive opening by overwhelming the Yellowjackets 26-6. The Wildcats continued their victory drive by outmudding Garnett 7 to 0 on a football field so muddy that it resembled a freshly ploughed field. The Wildcats, fighting like their namesakes, tied their next two games, with Eureka and Neodesha, but they lost to an overpowering Fredonia team with a sting- ing defeat of 19-0. Journeying to Cherryvale the Wildcats enjoyed the easy defeat of the Cherries on their own muddy gridiron, 33-6. It should be mentioned here that during the whole football season not more than one or two games were played on a dry field. Meeting another league opponent, the Wildcat eleven lost to Humboldt 25-0. The Wildcats did not cross the chalk stripe for one point that night, With renewed vigor the Wildcats then tackled the mighy Emporia eleven on the local gridiron to battle it out to a draw with a score of 7-7. No amount of fight or spirit stored up by the Burlington Wildcats could stand up before the onslaught of the Yates Center Wildcats when they met the Burling- ton eleven on Yates Center's field. The Yates Center strong arm crew snowed under their old Turkey Day rivals 30-7. Fifteen members of this magnificent squad will be lost by graduation this year, leaving a large gap in the Wildcat squad, but it will be ably filled by the up and coming underclassmen. 19 ,'Zf?

This drama was under the capable direction of Mr. Gene Townsend, assisted by Betty Lou Jaynes. The story evolved around several paintings that had been left to a simple :ountry doctor by a former patient. The doctor seemed to be living only for the purpose of helping others until his nagging, grasping wife tried to change his high ideals. The two daugh- ters, one lovable and unselfish, one spoiled and pampered, added zest and pathos to the plot. An honest young painter provided the necessary love interest. 'The paintings. thought to be useless. were misused. Several characters made attempts to take advantage of the ignorance of the doctor and his wife, in order to secure the pictures for much less than they were worth. But the faithful family servant, who later was discovered to be the wife of the deceased artist. saved the paintings from being sold. The cast was as follows: Wendell Wilhite, Ruth Sorenson, Margaret Ran- dall, Arthur Bacon, James Allen, Anna- belle Miller. Eugene McCormick. Bob Oswald, Betty Jo Williams. ffiziitnztu Sfjtztjamzf Effective dramatic ability. colorful scenery and choral groups setting the tempo-all these combined-held the large audience spellbound at the an- nual all school Christmas pageant, De- cember 12.

Why the Chimes Rang was capably directed by Iiss Watson, who also led the singing and played a role 1 the pageant. Mr. Townsend, assisted by Miss Spencer nd Miss Faust, adapted the play from the story of the ime litle. The beautiful scenery and costumes were de- ,gned by Miss Sisson and Miss Crocker. The brass en- emble, directed by Mr. Creitz, opened the program by laying Christmas carols. Scene two, which occurred in Pedro's hut, made the :ory very realistic. The students who played the parts f Pedro and his family feelingly portrayed the sacri- ces made necessary by poverty. The choral groups lendcd their singing so perfectly into the atmosphere lat ri hushed silence prevailed. The total effect was climaxed when a small ragged oy laid his entire fortune, one penny, on the altar be- eath a beautiful stained glass window in the cathedral -and the chimes sent their clear tones through the still ir.

Truman Field. and Pauline Kuestersteffen. ONE-ACT PLAY Fright, a one act mystery play by James Reach, was chosen as the contest play. The story was about a successful business man who was threatened with death by an unknown enemy and who had only thirty minutes to live. When the play was taken to Burlington to the Tri Valley One Act Play Contest, the clock got perverse and lazy, and stopped measuring the few minutes of life for the hero. Actors took the matter calmly but the assistant director seriously thought of removing the offending timepiece. A seventy percent rating was given by the judge on the interpretation of the play.

In attendance were the king and queen contestants from the other classes. Before the Coronation the members of the Kampus Kittens spelled out a wel- come to the graduates while the band did formations. One of the largest crowds of the season watched a thrilling game between Bur- lington and Yates Center in which the home team was the victor, 30 to 7.

Although the 1941-42 Wildcat basketball squad failed to win a majority of their games, they were one of the gamest, hardest fighting teams that Y. C. H. S. ever produced. The team composed of veterans gave each of their opponents sufficient competition to warrant a battle royal. These cagers were coached by Mr. McDonald and Mr. Elmer Ve- cera, assistant coach. Both of these fine men showed splendid spirit and determination in handling the squad. The Wildcats played seven Tri Valley oppon- ents twice, and two non-conference games with LeRoy and Osage City. In three of these games the Wildcam were the victors. At the annual Fre- donia tournament, the Wildcats played a strong Neodesha five and although defeated 34 to 29, the Wildcats threatened the Blue Streaks until the final gong. The season started with a win for the Wildcats over the LeRoy cagers to the tune of 18 to 8. Next on the list came Cherryvale, whose accurate sharp- shooting defeated the Wildcats 41 to 25. Journey- ing to Osage City to play the Osage Indians, the Wildcats came within an ace of a win but were finally conquered. Playing a strong Fredonia team, the Wildcats lost 52 to 17. Garnett and Eureka both overcame the Wildcats on their home courts. The Humboldt quintet gave the Wildcats a sound trouncing, 37 to 15. Playing their age old rivals, the Burlington Wildcats, our boys came within one point of upsetting Burlington with a score of 27 to 28. With a defeat by Neodesha the Wildcats completed their first round of games. Yates Center won its first league victory by Vanquishing Cherryvale in a thrilling battle 32 to 30. Again the Wildcats fell prey to the big guns of Fredonia, Garnett and Eureka. Humboldt and Neo- desha in turn overwhelmed the Wildcats. After suffering defeats all season, the Wildcats decided to end their season with a victory and they did just that, the team defeated being a hard fighting Burlington quintet, 31 to 29. 31 Yates Yates Yates Yates Yates Yates Yates Yates Yates Yates Yates Yates Yates Yates Yates Yates Rah V1 QC- .. - 'xy iv .Q f M -,Hilfe 3 Gund 1942 BASKETBALL SEASON RECORD Center ....,... ...,a,,.,..YA,.A,,.,A,.

C. H. S. Its purpose is to better the school spirit, school loyalty, and to promote athletic interests of the school. Every member is pledged to refrain from practices which would be injurious to health, character or community. The Club was started at the close of the 1939 football season with twenty-seven charter members. There are now thirty-one active members and twenty honorary Y-men who are graduates. The fine type of sportsmanship prevailing in Y. C. H. S. is evidence of the suc- cess of this influential group under the capable leadership of Coach McDonald. Among the many activities sponsored by the Club was the selling of blue and white basketball pencils. The regular Y-Club meeting was held every two weeks with a program following. In an election in the spring the new officers for 1942-43 were chosen. Jimmie Allen was elected president, Lawrence Robison, vice president, Dale McKinsey, secretary-treasurer.

The track season was cut short for this fine track team by the all out for war effort. Transportation was not available and therefore the schedule was cut in half. Yates Center competed in three track and field meets. Twenty boys, under the able tutorage of Coach McDonald, compiled a fine track record not only in the win and lose column but also in school spirit, team spirit, and ability. All members of the squad competed in the annual Fredonia Relays, Yates Center placing twelfth in the meet. Individual honors go to Jimmie Allen, who tied for fourth place in the pole vault, to Tom Fry, who placed in the 220, and to Norman Miller, who placed in the 440. A meet was held at Yates Center with Toronto and Burlington competing for honors with Yates Center. Yates Center won the meet with 88 points, and captured 10 firsts out of a possible 15. At the Tri Valley meet Yates Center gathered in 12 points. In the mile, 880, and Medley relay, Yates Center placed third. Individual honors go to Denzel Philo, who placed third in the javelin, to Jimmie Allen who placed third in the pole vault, and to Harland Easley placing fourth in the low hurdles. 1942 Track Record Yates Center 88 Burlington 34 Toronto 301!4 Tri Valley League Meet 12 Fredonia Relay 23h 34 .f .511 1 l From Left to Right-Back Row: Emilia Kraft, Evelyn Stoll, Frances Shaefer, Hilda Sieker.

Under the new plan six members from cach class and six members at large comprise the club. which is organized to lead students in cheering the team. This group has charge of all pep assemblies which have been presented before each home game. For the third annual Homecoming the girls sent out 600 letters of invitation to graduates. They made a dummy representing the opponents, planned a pep rally and generated pep at the game with the dummy as their guest, burning him when the opponents were defeated. New feathers were added to the blue dinks this year, completing their blue and white uniforms. The major social event of the year was a chili supper in the home economics room when the new members were initiated.
