H. S. has ever turned out. Of course, to accomplish so great a task as this one has been, required the hearty cooperation of everybody in the school. If out· effo1-ts have been successful, that is for the reader to decide. The editorial staff certainly has done its part; it is hoped that the business management has done as well. In the publishing of such a book as this one, there, are, of course, a great many difficulties to be overcome and a good many problems to decide. Our finances have been greatly helped out by the contributions made by the Senior Play and Budget. The Seniors gladly paid their individual $2.50 assessment fee, and the organizations whose pictures are reproduced within gladly helped to defray a pat-t of the expenses in connection with their pictures. We certainly must publicly thank the Senior Play Cast, the Budget Staff, especially Le Roi Henry and Phelps Cunningham, for the a1-t work which they the faculty and students who have cooperated in the book's production, and the advertised herein; and hope that every loyal L. H. S. student will look through and give the advertisers first choice in business transactions. the Art Depal"tment, so gladly did for us; merchants who have these advertisements PAUL ENDACOTT, Business Manager. Editorial Note The Annual staff unanimously voted to dedicate this volume of the Reel and Black to the memory of those L. H. S. boys who have given their lives that we may go to school. In accordance with the memorial idea, we decided that this Annual coul<.l have no better purpose than that of reminding every L. H. S. student of the happy days he spent in high school. Therefore we have tried our best, and put forth every effort to make this volume a memory book to be cherished forever. After careful thought and planning, the book was finally arranged and printed. This year's staff has introduced two entirely new departments into the Annual, namely, the Senior Section, and the Depa1-tment Section. We have devoted a department to the Seniors, because it is the Senior class which has made such a book possible. It was at first our idea to have a faculty picture, and short write-ups of the teachers, but afte1· consideration it was decided to have group pictures taken of those teachers, in the school's 1·espective departments, with stories of these departments, thus giving a condensed idea of the curriculum of L. •H. S. · Hence the Department Section. Every member of this ye.ar's staff has put his most conscientious labor into his work and each editor has tried to make his department better than it has ever been before. The Budget staff has greatly helped to make this book a memot·y volume, with their donation of the money which made the cartoons possible. We have put our best into this book, and hope that every L. H. S. student will get as much enjoyment from it, as the staff has had in preparing it. ELIZABETH G. DUNKEL, Editor-in-chief. �The High School Song (Tunc-Crimson and the Blue) See that stateh- towered old school house Standing -plain to view. 'Tis the dear old Lawrence High School Alma :\later trur. CHORUS H ail, all hail! Our Alma l\ Iater H ail dear L. H. S.! " ' e bear thee a love so fervent It can ne'er grow less. In her halls we've .toi led and gloried In our victories too, And to her our Alma l\'later, Always we'll be true. CHORUS And when we've passed on and others Take our places here, :May they lift their strong young voices In one glorious cheer. C H OR US H arold Chalkley, 'os. 0 �This is the dear old Alma ~ I ater, as the class of 19 19 ltaves her. Of course it is old fashio ned, poo rl ~· venti lated, badly lighted, a nd sadly equipped . ll oll'evcr this class lovt~s it. Probably o n ly o ne mo re class ll'ill be g rad uated from this build ing, for soon the nt'll' Liberty II igh School will be completed, when· no student or clas~ will suffer the handicap.; caused by the lack of equipment in the present place. .\ Ianual is almost as big a part of an L. I I. S. student's life, as is L. H. S. herself. But like L. H . S. the ~fanua l Bui ld ing is too inefficient a nd out of date to serve the uses of a h igh school an y more; so the new Li ber ty l l igh w ill embody all the dcpartmen ts noll' found in the old .\l a n ua l. �SUPT. R. A. KENT Mr. Kent understands us too, almost as well as "Pap." He deals with us as man to man, and never fail s to see the students' s ide of a question. He helped to put tht'l "Liberty H igh" campaign ac1·os.s, and has done many other things which have won the admiration and respect of all L. H. S. students. 0 " PAP" To "Pap," who has been our guide for four years, we owe more than anyone else; all that has made our high school life successful and happy. The ancients used to say to a wise and loved ruler, "0 King, live forever!" To "Pap'' Olney, with his ready sympathy, understanding and humor, we who are passing from under his care, say, "0, Pap, live forever!" �MR. GEORGE INNES Mr. Innes has endeared himself to the students of L. H. S. more than ever this year. The "flu" prevented his giving his annual banquet to the football team, but this loss was more than compensated by the magnificent banquet given for both the basketball and football teams. Mr. Innes decorated the "Spirity of Liberty High'' float in the Memorial parade. Within the last four years he has given two loving cups to the Girls' Basketball teams. He is always a loyal s upporter of Hi-Y activities. ANNA S . HIMOE Mrs. Himoe didn't want to be in the Annual, but we put he r in anyway, because she is so much a part of each of our daily lives, that no "memory book," as this Annual is, would be complete without her. We hope she will give good permits to all our little brothers and sisters, as ~ he has to us. �History of L. H. $., 1919 Sept. 16-School opens.

(The Juniors think themselves a class worth while, But the Seniors outclass them by many a mile; The Sophs speak in whispers when' we are near And the Freshmen behold us with awe and with fear). Never class before us has been so glorious; In every contest we've been all-victorious; ·With "Westie" and Paul we've shone in ,,],, _, ; _" While Liz, Annie, and Leona boosted dramatics; And "Higgie," our president, as all can tell, Has starred in all things, and has led us well. Of course a class of such great renown Has so many more members known to fame That it's not needful to publish each name. Five names as Honor Students we've handed down, That on-coming classes may know and acclaim The class of '19, who played a great game. Now few in sadness from L. H. S. part; Still the ties of good comradeship cling to each heart. And as ne~ worlds open, new interests bringing, To L. H. S. ever true, we'll ever be singing: "Hail, all hail, our Alma Mater, Hail, dear L. H. S. We bear thee a love so fervent It can ne'er grow less." -MILDRED McGUFFEY. 0 �Class History One cool rainy September morning in the year 1915, there was ushered in to Lawrence high school a new class. History now correctly has it, that that class, commonly called the class of 1919, is the greatest class ever graduated from L. H. S. Look here, look there, those "Nineteeners," seem to be everywhere; the leaders in the famous school spirit, the leaders of athletics, at the top in public speaking, unexcelled in dramtics, and the right hand of the ready future. ' Lawrence high school, and the people of Lawrence will not for years forget the ability of that class of "19," in dramatics. The first farce, "!Bicyclers," was presented by them in the freshman year at a masquerade party. This farce was coached by Mary Harold West, a former faculty member. William Engel's part, a comedian, was particularly outstanding. "A Bunch of Roses," was the second attempt, which was given at the first term party of the Sophomore year. It was such a success that it was by request, repeated for the "Big Circus of 1916." "Who's Who," was presented for the second Sophomore farce. The Junior year's social success was the Junior Prom. With Elizabeth Dunkel as manager it was a credit to the class. The Prom was . held in the new Congregational Parish house, which was decorated with the class colors, and flowers. A splendid three course dinner was served by the Sophomore girls. The very clever farce "The Heirs-At-Law," was given on the church stage, as a climax to the seniors' entertainment. The crowning feature of the four years in dramatics, was the senior play, "Green Stockings." It was produced by an able cast of twelve, on the Bowersock stage. Annie Mitchell, the leading lady, who was later elected the prettiest girl in high school, was a brilliant success. Every part was well held; and by the excellent coaching of Mrs. Harold L. Butler, the play was considered well produced. Although the night of March 24th was stormy, the theatre was well filled. The girls of the class of nineteen have always been "up and coming" in athletics. Although they have never won an inter-class tournament they have always put up a good scrap. Louise Phillips, Esther Knop, and Cecil Hale are the three seniors on this year's girls' basketball team. "Doc" Phillips was captain. Lawrence High's first girl cheerleader, Elizabeth Dunkel, is a member of our class and it is officially reported in athletic circles that Wilma Miller, another senior, is the girls' champion bicycle rider of the world. Nor have the boys of nineteen been slackers in athletics. Ever since we became Freshmen, members of our class have been prominent as basket-ball, foot-ball, track and tennis stars. In 1915, "Hap" Frye, who left school to go to war, although only a freshman, was rated as the best football player in school. Our Freshman basket-ball team, Houk, Eastman, Putriam, Walthers and Higgins succeeded in defeating the haughty Juniors; and our base-ball team, Burton, Neff, Houk, Putnam, Miles, Coffman, Beery, Williams, Eastman and Higgins took third place in the interclass baseball league, putting the proud Seniors of that year in the "cellar'?. Our athletic prestige increased greatly in our · w· ,..,p·ular substitute.2.Jl-1 _,. \.~a'J~ +-"'..--"'~'-+.J.>-~r,.,.~-:-x.;;.:....- ~ _.- GO'S:---~·o~ut : ,f<:lmO S.

The members of the class who made athletic reputations in their Senior year are so many that only a brief summary is possible here. All of the athletic ~earns had Seniors for captains; the two Lawrence basketball players who made the "all state" were Semors; and the three Lawrence track men who placed in the "interscholastic" were Seniors. Under the leadership of Severt Higgins as president the Senior class was carefully piloted through turmoil and trouble, unto the day of graduation. The president has had the honor of being a renowned athlete, the public speaker of the school, and a dramatic star. "H\lrrah for Higgins!" When the war's cry for patriots was heard, one of the first organizations to respond to the call was the class of "19." Many of her men joined the colors, and those that could not go, paid for a Liberty Bond, to support their share of the government, and their fighting classmates. A great deal of honor is due Mahlon Weed the first member of the A. E. F. to return to the class. Besides making an enviable record in France, he has more than distinguished himself since his return. They adopted a French War Orphan, and paid one-half more of his allotment, than was expected. The Senior breakfast, the picnic, the class-day exercises, and commencement are on the last of the "19" program. Finally graduation day will see the class of 1919, start into the problem of life. One glorious class, that of 1919. K. C., '19. �Patriotic Work War Orphan Pierre Ferre, the French war orphan adopted by the Class of '19, was born July 31, 1914. Mrs. O'Leary made the arrangements for the "adoption" last term. The s um necessary to support the orphan was $37.00, and the cla ss r aised this sum to $42.50 by voluntary subscriptions. The following is the translation of a letter received: My dear Guardian: I thank you sincerely for your kind letter and for what you are sending which I have not yet received, but which will not be long delayed. I am truly happy that you have chosen me for your god child and I hasten to send you my photograph which I assure you is that of an obedient little boy. Please accept also the thanks of my mother, who has been much touched by your letter. I beg you to write soon to the following address: PIERRE FERRE, Chez Meus Duborg, an Haillau Gironde, France.

At this writing the class has not definitely decided for what purpose the bond shall be used. However, either of the following plans has been suggested. One of the plans is to turn the bond over to the fund for the bronze memorial tablet, in honor of High School men who died in the service of their country , which will be placed in the new ' Liberty High School. If this plan is not carried out, the bond will be used to buy a trophy case for the new school. Either of these uses will be a suitable class memorial. 0 �Class Prophecy An Interlude Twenty Years After (With all apologies to Alexander Dumas.) CHARACTERSMrs. Gossup-Dorothea Roberts. Mrs. Gadabout-1Wilma Miller. TIME-Spring of 1939. PLACE-Mrs. Gossup's study, Lawrence, Kans. (Furniture and costuming, the Period of 1939.) When the scene opens, Mrs. Gossup is at the typewriter making a great ra.::ket and wasting a good deal of energy. (Note.-She is using the "Hunt and Peck" system.) (The doorbell is suddenly heard above the din.) Mrs. GOSSUP (hitting !* ?@$!1 in rapid succession)-Ye Gods! There's the bell! I shall never get this article on "Man's Place in the Home" finished. (She goes out and immediately ushers in Mrs. Gadobut, who is very much excited.) Mrs. GADABOUT-My dear 1 I've had such a shock! Who do you think just stopped me in the street begging for alms? The most disreputable loOking creature! Mrs. GOS.-Why-who--? Mrs. GAD.-Severt Higgins ! Mrs. GOS. (sits suddenly)-What! Not-not our Class President at old L. H. S. ? · Mrs. GAD. (sitting)-Yes! Higgie or Carcass or whatever you want to call him. He _had such a mess of names. But I'm not so surprised now that I've had time to think it over. Severt was always late! I suppose he finally missed his last chance. Mrs. GOS.-It's so sad, tho. Isn't it astonishing and •depressing when you think how our brilliant Class of 1919 has declined? So much was expected of it. Why! there's Elizabeth Dunkel, one of our most prominent classmates, playing at the Patee! Mrs. GAD.-Well-Lizz was always good at ragtime. Remember how she could sing and play "I ain't got nobody much"? Mrs. GOS.-I was just looking at our old 1919 Red and Black the other day and I ran across that ridiculous Senior Play picture where Dave Mackie is the center of attraction. He looks just about the same now in his theatrical group pictures-only he's surrounded by a bevy of chorus girls. Mrs. GAD.-Yes! I hear he's coming to the Bowersock next fall in "The Ziegfield Follies of 1938". They say he's quite a star. Mrs. GOS.-Why, I believe William Anderson and Ruth Spotts are in the same show. Their specialty is an Apache dance. Mrs. GAD.-What! Why, Ruth Allen and Dorothy White are chorus girls in the. Follies, too. My, how the old nineteeners have degenerated! Such frivolity! Mrs. GOS.-Oh! But they're not all so trifling. Didn't you know that Grace Derby had "taken the veil"? She's in the Saint Ursula Convent in Los Angeles. Mrs. GAD.-Why, what became of Warren Wynn? Mrs. GOS.-Oh, he went to Salt Lake City on a visit,-the Mormons converted him,-and he now has nine wives. That's why Grace took the veil. . Mrs. GAD.-How dreadful! Then I see she didn't have a very high motive-that- of sel:&.sacrifice. Mrs. GOS.-Na-But there's Cecil Hale! She has gone to Alaska as missionary to the Eskimos. Mrs. GAD.-Not really! Well, I hope she gets enough sleep up there. She used to be sleepy ·all the time. They have nine months of darkness in every year in Alaska. Mrs. GOS.-Why, how you do talk! But we are forgetting another of our classmates who also . as followed the "straight and narrow path"-the Reverend K. Hoskins Constant! Mrs. GAP.-Yes, I just heard him in Kansas City the other day lecturing at a W. C. T. U. meeting on "The Evils of Letting Your Daughter Jazz". One of his most impressive arguments _ was the fact that there ·i s-a $25 fine (plus war tax) for jazzing. Mrs. GOS.-And a very good argument it is. Did you read in the "Bolsheviki" the other day about the large fortur;e George Roberts E sterly inherited from his uncle? It said he was intending to spend it all to have his voice cultivated. He's going in for Grand Opera. Mrs. GAD.-Didn't I hear something about the great prima donna Aimee Piper's taking George Roberts as her protege? She was so charmed by his voice, and saw such good qualities in it. Mrs. GOS.-As I remember it-there was more quantity than quality. Mrs. GAD.-Did you know that Beatrice Abrams has signed a contract to make records only for the "Sissonola Company"? Mrs. GOS.-Oh! don't let me forget to play Charles' latest record on the Sissonola for you before you go. It's not everyone who can boast complimentary records from the Great Sisson himself! Mrs. GAD.-I went to the best concert up at Robinson Gym the other night. Loraine Nelson, the noted pianist, played Joyce Hoff's latest collection of compositions-"The Tales of Hoff". Mrs. GOS.-There was a lot of genius in our class, wasn't there? Now look at Katie Strong! I just read her last book entitled "Helpful Devices for Killing Time-When and How to Use Them," but it was most too deep for me. Mrs. GAD.-And there's Dolson Beery writing the Children's Bedtime Stories for the Kansas City Star, now. �'Mrs. GOS.-Oh! that reminds me. Corinne is trying to get somebody to talk to the children next Saturday at the Library, Children's Hour. I wonder if she could get Dolson? Mrs. GAD.-Whenever I think of Corrine Constant's being Head Librarian here, I can hardly restrain my mirth. How she used to rave around about the way Miss Edwards got after us! And now she · herself has those little High School children completely cowed. They're scared to death of her! Mrs. GOS.-Yes! She had a little kid up in court the other day. He stripped the tulip beds out in front of the Library. But Paul O'Leary handled the boy's case and got him out of the scrape in fine shape. Mrs. GAD.-You know, I thought Paul wou'd be an aviator instead of a lawyer-he was always so up in the air. _ Mrs. GOS.-Well! I can tell you who is up in the air now, and that's Francis Gregory, since he made all his money on that new chemical discovery of his. You would think he was a man of a million airs instead of a millionaire. Mrs. GAD.-He ought to put his millions in the Lawrence National Bank for safe keeping. With Victor Brown as president and originator of the Komback coins, which he uses to a great extent in it, it's quite reliable. Mrs. GOS.-Victor i.s thinking of retiring. He says he can't stand the smell of Sam Elliot's cooking over at the Eldridge House. Mrs. GAD.-! don't blame him! The cooking is abominable! And such service as they have! But then-what can you expect with Louise Hill head waitress? ~ · Mrs. GOS.-Oh, I forgot to ask you if you went to Morton Nelson's "Oyster House" the last time you were in New York?· Mrs. GAD.-Yes. They say he makes oysters his specialty in the hope that some day he'll find a pearl in one. Mrs. GOS.-Did you see many of your old friends on your trip? Mrs: GAD.-Oh, I saw Laura Adair in Wanamaker's. She's a mannikin. Mrs. GOS.-And did you look up Edwina Ware and Marjorie Deitrich? They're running the Subway in New York. Mrs. GAD,-No! I was afraid to ride on the Subway! But I did run into Leona Baumgartner up on Fifth .Avenue one day. She's the well known model for all the dental advertisements. She's so very popular that she won't make a contract with any one Tooth Paste producer. Mrs. GOS.-She does have beautiful teeth. I suppose somebody got hold of that Dramatic Club picture in which Leona is smiling so charmingly, and started her on her career. Mrs. GAD.-Yes, and l saw the Great Civic Reformer, Elizabeth Sutton, while I was there. She was heading a "Protect the Fly" campaign. Mrs. GOS.-What do you think of this Anti-Chewing Gum Drive that Reba Donaghey is promotor of? Mrs. GAD.--Oh, I don't know! I never chew-but I remember that Bernice Cook used to claim that gum was quite a good thing; it made your speech more clear. . Mrs. GOS.-By the way-how is Bernice getting along at the Phi Psi House? Can she manage them? Mrs. GAD.-Wonderfully well. The Phi Psis are crazy about her. She's the most popular house mother on the Hill. Mrs. GOS.-Isn't it surprising how many L. H. S. students stuck to the University life? There's Clarence Houk-head of the Department of Entomology. Mrs. GAD.-Yes, but he always was such a bookworm. Mrs. GOS.-And George Wilbur is Professor of Domestic Art. Mrs. G.AD.-Did you know that Mildred McGuffey is Dean of Women now, since Miss Corbin's gone? · Mrs. GOS.-No? Well! Well! Mrs. GAD.-That Normal Training Course that they had at -L. H. S. must have been a good one. Helen Ingalls is teaching the Indians painting lessons out at Haskell. Mrs. GOS.-Mary Landon and Denca Curd both have good positions at the Normal in Emporia. Mrs. GAD.-But then I thought there. would be more teaching her e-the 'nducements are so great--but there's only Louise Knop a~d Viola Tucker and Gertrude Lee-and they're at Liberty High. I wonder how they get along. with the new Superintendent, Ernest Brown. Mrs. GOS.-Oh, splendidly!-But they have quite a time with the janitrix, Louise Phillips. You know, she always did have a hot temper. Mrs. GAD.-Isn't it fine how many of our girls have got out into the business world? There's Mildred Maxwell running that enormous Overall Factory in Chicago. Mrs. GOS.-She has always had a secret fancy for overalls, I think! Remember that picture of her in the 1919 Red and Black? Mrs. GAD.-She has all women employees in her factory. Edith Ernst and Edith Olson have very responsible jobs in it. They sew on the. buttonholes. Mrs. GOS.-And women have found their place in politics now, too. Senator R. Manter just proposed a bill in the Senate the other day to ab :>!ish the war tax on Eclairs. I do hope it passes. Mrs. GAD.-Ruby was very fond of Eclairs in the old days, too. Mrs. GOS.-Helen Shaw was elected Speaker of the House last week!- It was rather unexpected; Helen never used to talk much. Mrs. GAD.-I'm afraid Norris Stauffer will n 'lVer get anywhere in politics r unning against the women-altho they say he's climbing right up as a prominent member of the Know Nothing Party. Mrs. GOS.-Talking about climbing up makes me think of elevators. Irene Creel scared me to death the other day in Innes'-the way she runs that elevator! Mrs. GAD.-Oh, Esterine Copeland is an elev atress, too. Doesn't she work in Jonathan Rigdon's big "Blouse . Shop" in Eudora now? · Mrs. GOS.- I believe so. Has Keith been down from Eudora lately peddling his ladies' accessories? I need a new hair net, and Keith's invisible hair nets are the best ones I've had for a long time. · Mrs. GAD.-Did you ever use any of his humpless hairpins? They're very good. Mrs. GOS.-Keith's quite a success as a traveling salesman, but he wasn't feeling very well �the last time he was down. I directed him to Dr. Eliot Havekotte in Topeka. He's a specialist in heart trouble. I thought he might be able to do Keith some good. Mrs. GAD.--Did Paul Sidney Endacott ever become a doctor as he had planned? Mrs. GOS.-What! Didn't you know? Why, Paul Sidney Endacott, poor man, is an inmate at Osawatomie--one of their most serious cases. You know, Paul had too much on his mind his last year in L. H. S. and he couldn't stand the strain. Mrs. GAD.-And Armin Woestemeyer? I haven't heard of him for 20 years. Mrs. GOS.-Oh, he's been in a "Home for the Homeless" since Lizz turned him down. Mrs. GAD.-None of the· cases at L. H. S. turned out well, did they? There's that sensational divorce case of Mahlon and Annie! He lias brought suit against her for lack of supportand poor Annie wrote me the other day that - she couldn't think of another reading to give, she had gone over the Orpheum Circuit so many times. Mrs~ GOS.-It's written up so dreadfully in that horrid yellow paper of Carey Rogers'! Mrs. GAD.-Oh, Paul Patterson is Editor-in-Chief, so what can you expect? Mrs. GAD.-Madam'selle Charlotte Cutter is conducting her Matrimonial Agency with great success. She has brought about the union of sev 3ral lonely souls in happy marriage. Horace Glidden and Ada Chadwick are two striking examples -and then there's Thelma Stoddard and Harold Dodds. Mrs. GAD.-But all the poor mortals who ne ·ver found their way to the agency! Have you heard of that pathetic delegation of oldf .maids-Erna Seidel, Ethel Smith, Hazel Wiggins, and Bernice Graeber, and Mary Chase-that have gone to Afghanistan to find the missing link in the theory that "Man Has Sprung from the Monkey"? Mrs. GOS.-Speaking of theories, have you heard of Cleo Rinehart's new one? He claims that the moon is not made of cream cheese, as everyone has thought all along, but of plain Cottage Cheese, made of the milk from the "Milky Way". The creamy color is caused by the reflection of the sun's rays from the other side of the globe. Mrs. GAD.-Why, how wonderful! I see yo '1 have the new Woman's Home Companion. I con't care much about it anymore, since Junior Alli:;.on manages it. Mrs. GOS.-Yes, but Ouida Lee has some very good articles in it on "Hints for Housewives". Mrs. GAD.- I like the Cosmopolitan, tho, especially since Nadine Morrison writes the "Fables in Slang". Mrs. GOS.-And the illustrations that Phillip Pontius draws for them are too good for expression. Mrs. GAD.-Did you ever hear such express ion a~ Waldo Crowder has in his last volume of ''Love Poems"? Mrs. GOS.-Never! Hazel Smith used them in her philanthropic work in Germany. She read them to the Germans to try to melt their hardened hearts. Mrs. GAD.-Well! I'll tell you who has a hard heart-and that's Ruth Gorden, since she has become such a notorious 'Secret Service woman. She got hold of that rumor you know, about Billy Engel's keeping a bar out on the Pacific within the three-mile limit. She's hot on his trail, but the saloon is in the form of a submarine and Billy is so clever that he manages to submerge every time she gests in his vicinity. (A hair pin drops out.) Oh, dear; I just had my hair washed at Madame Banker's this morning and I can't do a thing with it. · Mrs. GOS.--Velma's lovely hair is certainly a good advertisement for her Beauty Shop. Mrs. GAD.-I should say so. Oh! I just happened to think what I came her, for. Wouldn't you like to go up to the Saturday Morning Dancing School with me next week and learn some of the riew dances? Mrs. GOS.-Oh, but-I- Mrs. GAD.-Oh, it's perfectly all right now since Ila McPherson has charge of the class. But if you have any objections, we might motor out to Mary Bucheim's and Lloyd Bigsby's Jazz House out at Midland-it's perfectly respectable. Mrs. GOS.-I simply couldn't go. I have so much club work on my hands now that I have to do. (Looks helpLessly at typewriter.) Mrs. GAD. (rising indignantly)-Well! I'm so sorry if I've been keeping you from your work. Good-day! (Aside, as she goes out.) These busy club women tending · to everybody's business but their own in their innumerable articles on all sorts of what-not. (Exits.) Mrs. GOS.--Thank heavens! that chatter box has gone. She talks all the time . and I do hate to gossip so. (She goes to typewriter and hits !* ?@$ as the curtain falls.) -By Wilma Miller.

WILLIAM ANDEIRSON. Once upon a time, in that faraway land of Amer.i ca, in that part of the country called Kansas; there was a city of note and renown. Long years ago when it was nothing more than a village, its inhabitant. chose to call it Lawrence, and so it has remained until this day. It prospered and grew, nestled there in the valley of the Kaw River; but most marvelous and noteworthy was the growth of that institution of advanced learning, the High School. At first it started small, as all schools must start, but ere long it was not only a force in the city, but its influence was felt in all the land. There was one person who stayed by the school through thick and thin, who promoted, encouraged and watched the advancement. Each year he enrolled a new class and each year he sent a class out of the school prepared to meet the >vhole world. In the fall of 1915, there came a group of boys and girls into the school for the first time, who aroused the interest of all observers. The man who enrolled these boys and girls ·turned in his revolving chair, watched them go into class, and was amazed; for there was seriousness and determination written on every face. Doubtless the reason was that those were war days. A great war was raging in lands across the sea and this class realized it. During the first two years in the school, the class did its work thoroughly and well. The war grew worse, but this class paused in its routine of study to give liberally to the starving Belgians and to render any other war service possible. Then, in the spring of '17 America hesitated, trembled, and for a moment seemed to pause, for the country had entered the great war. But this class pushed on with greater. determination toward the desired goal. It was a harder goal now, and more tasks must be met. The country called for men and money with no regard to school or class. Boys went out from the school with no hesitation when they were called and many went of their own choosing. Money was called for in Liberty Monds, Thrift Stamps, and Baby Bonds. As individuals the class responded wonderfully, not only in buying, but in canvassing the town and making public speeches. The class took out a fifty dollar bond to be left as a memorial to the school. In Red Cross work it never missed an opportunity to do work of any kind. Still the war cloud grew darker. News came that some of the boys from the school would never return and the class became more serious. Suddenly, in the fall of '18, peace came to the world. Then the class became serious in the task of reconstruction. It adopted a French War Orphan and put forth every effort to secure the Liberty lf1!!'h School memorial to the boys who gave their lives in th e great war. In the spring of '19 th e class was ready to leave the Lawrence /High School with her heroes coming back from the war, peace throughout the land, and a record behind her such as no other class has ever had. �Junior Class Officers Moody P e ndl e ton O' Bryon Bann in g Higgins JAMES O'.BRYON, Treasurer.

A fortune tellel' Rat gazing languidly at her crystal globe, wherein she could see the progress of the various clas ses of L. H. S. as they passed from their fre shman to senior year-and di s:1ppeared. Suddenly she leaned forward and gazed spell-bound at what she saw in the crystal, for it was the class of '20 passing in panorama before her. She saw them enter L. H. S. as freshmen, an enterprising class. striving· from the very first to gain the highest honors that their school offered. She saw their president, James O'Bryon, win for his class first prizes in both the short story contest, and the cartoon contest. She saw them making merry at their first party, th e Freshman Frolic, and again at a par ty where th ey gave a farce. Then as Sophomores, ;vith Theodore Olson, their president, she witnessed their many triumphs, in supporting athletics, and all school activities, in giving a remarkable masquerade, and best of all in liberally contributing to the Red ·Cross. · As Juniors they had for president Charles Banning, football star. She noticed first of all that th ey gave liberally, as individuals, to all war work funds. The class had becom e more serious now, realizing that a great war must be won in Europe. Frivolous things were put a side. Then in November the war was won. Still the members of the class kept on donating liberally to f unds for relief in the devastated countries. The Junior Class noticeably pushed all school activities, and some of the school's best athletes were Juniors. In the spring a prom was given to the !Seniors. Brilliantly beautiful in its decorations, and highly entertaining in its farce,' the prom was declared the best ever: Here a veil dropped over the panorama passing before her. But she leaned eagerly forward and her sharp eyes were able to pierce th e veil so as to allow her to see far enough into the future to rest assured that her prodigious class of '20 would so far disting uish itself in its Senior year as to remain always a fond memory of L.

Once upon a time, not very long ago, in a prosperous town in the middle west, on the banks of the Kaw River, where people from the surrounding country came fo r education, there came to the high school a class that has already gone long on the way toward showing the school its ability. During the long winter months of that first year, these pupils made themselves a necessary part of the high school. In all the school activities they took a pr ominent part, showi ng their worth in every way. They readily joined in the various demonstrations of tru e high school spirit. In football their class showed up esp ecially we ll, having several mem bers on the t eam. At the basketball tournam ent they were there and a lways r eady to boost th e players. When th e Liberty Memorial High School campaign was on this class did their part in taking up the new high school of which they were later so proud . The t eachers wondered at them a nd the upperclassmen were amazed at them. In the big .parade which was for the purpose of boosting the n ew high school, their float was an airplane, which symbolizes "to rise." This class k ept their motto the first year, and resolved to do the same the n ext.

Miss Grace Poff The Annual st a ff was appointed soon after the beginning of the second term , so that the various editors might U:oroughly understand, and prepare them selves for t heir variou s departm ents. One big m eeting of th ·~;;e editors was held soon after th eir appointments, where plans for the Red and Black were discussed. Here it was decided to make everything in th 2 volume carry out the idea of memories. The idea of a Senior Section and Primer was also planned. All of the editors upon finding out what was ex pected of their departments set to work earn e:;tly. The r esult was that in co-operation with the editor they succeeded in getting the whole thing· rea dy, so that every piece of copy was at the Journal -World by the specified time. The business manager deserves great credit for the part h e has clon e in making this book a s uccess. H e atte.nd 2d to all the pictures, engravings, and business side of the enterprise. The fact that th(: class of 1919 put out an Annual actually costing $1.60, for 75 cents, is due to the careful management a11d dose fi ~ urin l? of !'~l!!

Last May, it received second place in the first annual high school newspaper contest, conducted by the department of industrial journalism at Kansas State Agricultural College. The paper is the product of a laboratory class, composed of stud ents who write with some distinction, and have expressed a wish to do the work. The business and editorial staffs receive graduation credit for the work. Class a nd other organization reporters are elected by their respective group s. Reporters rece ive no school credit for their work, the position being a class honor. The aim of the Budget is to picture the wurk and the play of the students for four classes of readers: The students th emselves, their parents, a lumni of the school, and students who expect to enter Lawrence High School. Moreover, while the school has no a uditorium where more than half of the student body can assemble, the school paper is a common meeting ground, where policies and plans may be advertised. The first issu e of the year was published on the first clay of school, 1September 16. This was a complimentary issue and was distributed to a ll students in High School and Intermediate School. Despite interruptions caused by the influenza epidemic, the Budget has lost no tim e, nor deprived its subscribers of an y issues. During two enforced vacations, the paper was published and delivered on schedule time. Another achievement, which has attracted the notice of other schools, was a special edition of the Budget on March 21 to boost the proposition of voting $230,000 in bonds for the erection of a new high school. The bonds carried two to one and the Liberty Memorial High School, which will be a reality within t wo years, will be a monument to the eighteen high school boys who died in service. In the new school, there will naturally be a print shop . The school print shop, besides furnishing valuable vocational training, will enab le the Budget to become a weekly instead of a fortnightly paper. When this ambition is realized the paper will become a more important factor in school life than a fortnight ly paper can be. - �The Normal Training Club Tra n s ue Cu rd Lown1a n liunzic kCI ' Di e trich Buch e im Ande rson \Nood Landon vVilbur RUTH GORDON, President.

The Normal Training Club was organized in January, 1919, for the purpose of unifying the students in the differ ent normal training classes, building up an enthu siastic department spirit, providing some ·jolly good times for its members, and also for studying some of the problem s which confront the school teacher and which a crowded course of study would not allow the classes to consider during regular periods. The membership of the club is thirty. Meetings have teen held every other W ednesday afternoon, and have been interesting, profttable, and well attended. Several of the programs have been devoted to a study of play and recreation in the rural school. Plans have been made for laying out and equipping an ideal playground, and games s uitable both to outdoors and indoors have been played. Mis::\ Deming has taught the club several folk dances as well as end ball and other games, in the gymnasium . A part of each meeting has been devoted to th e singing of songs s uitable for u se in the rural school, and through the !Sophomores we have kept in touch with the work which is being carried forward in the class in Handwork. We a ppreciate the importance of these meetings from a professional standpoint, but we value no less the jolly social times that have drawn u s closer together. Monthly gatherings have been held in the evenings at which several very clever stunts have been given, and thoroughly good times enjoyed. One of the most successful gatherings was a theatre party at which a shadow play, "The Modern Ballad of Mary Jane," was staged by club members. On St. Patrick's Day the club members gathered, all wearing the green, and enjoyed an abundance of Irish wit and f un. With the coming of spring, picnics took the place of parties. The members feel that the norm al training club has proved a great success during its first year from the standpoint of good fe llo wship and pleasant times together, a s well as from the educational standpoint. It has a promising outlook for the future. �Hi-Y Cabinet -nr ocste 1n e ~' C r Emn10t I-li gg in s Gregory .. \_ndc rson Endacott L e arned 1-I igg in s Boltz The Lawrence High School Boys' Club, und er the n a me of The I-Ii-Y., started the sea son with the first meeting on September 11. The new off-icer s who started the year were: President, Paul Endacott; Vice-Presid ent, Harland Carter; Secretar y, Din s more Wood, a nd Treasurer, Franci s Gregory. Owing to th e fac t that Din sm ore Wood had left for Oread, Frank Rising was e lect ed secretary in his place. All of the officers proved themselves efficient, and are to be congratulated on the f ine record of the club. A n ew pla n of serving eats was inaugurated thi s year a nd proved a tim e a nd money saver from the s tart.

Altogether the season was a success from every standpoint, the treasurer making a f ina l report of a bala nce of $34.34. Next year' s officers are: President, Donald Higgins; Vice- President, Tus t in Ackerman; Secretary, Ted Ol son; and T reasurer, Leonard Gregor y.

Because of the man y interruptions to school work cau sed by influenza, th e Y.

Oita has accomplished a great deal of good and improvement this year, in spite of annoying "flu" vacation interruptions. Miss Dolbee was O'ta's faithful adviser and helped the members in every way, through the tedious process of dressing doll beds for the Junior Red Cross Bazaar, in the pleasant task of studying the works of various poets, and best of all in getting Willard Wattles to read some of his poems and talk about them, giving them to O'ita with the many little personal touches which make them more than ever invaluable. In the ~all the old members gave a ".Backwards" party for the new members, and the ne w members in return gave a farce, written by themselves, for the old members. The biggest social event of this year was the spring party, given at the Elks' !Hall, where a farce was staged, followed by dancing. �- ·--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -,- The Senior Play En gel <..:onsl,u1t :M ill er !J o lT :Cu nJ-:: e l Mitch e l l J3aun1ga rtn er And e r son l -li ggi n s E sterly Cordon "The who le town is turning out to see 'Gree n Stockings,' th e Hi g h School senior pl ay.

The first play selected was, "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife," but on account of the school's ineffici ent stage faci liti es, the club was unabl e to give this. They then decided to give "Mrs. Bumpsted-Leigh." Before they were well-started on this, the K. U. Dramatic Club announced "Mrs. Bumpsted-Leigh," as their main attraction. So the play the Footlighters will give this year is "Nevertheless," an interlude by Stuart Walker. · This is to be presented in chapel. Becau se of the Flu vacations, this club has been greatly hindered in the year of its organization. However, all the members were interested and kept the new club from dying. It is hoped that the Footlighters will be continued next year, with unbound ed success. A new high school, with a wellequipped stage, will also h elp to solve m any of the club difficulties. �L. H.

Since Christmas, however, very considerate progress has been made. Under the efficient leadership of Miss Minerva Hall the orchestra h as been a s uccess and it is doing more outside work than it has done for several years past. This is Miss Hall's first year as leader. She came to the Lawrence public schools and the K. U.

Besides enthusiastic leadersh ip, another factor has added to the s uccess of the orchestra this year. Regular work in this organization has been put on thus stimulating interest and encourag ing faithfulness. The orchestra has played several times at chape l, at the Rotary Club banquet, given by the Domestic Science Department, and at the athletic banquet by Mr. Innes.

BERNICE ANDERSON, Secretary. A little over a year ago, the colored girls of High School got together and organized a club for two important reasons. The first of these was to create a sisterly and bonded feeling among the colored girls of the school, and the second was to create a source, where!Jy the reporter of the colored students could get more information concerning them. At the beginning of this little organization the members were very, very active and did a great deal towards promoting interest in it. 1E very meeting was well attended and quite often matinee dances- were given. Now, the attitude shown toward the club is quite different, but we feel that before long, everyone will come back and attend the meetings with the same spirit :JS before. Those, who were in the club last year, will never forget "The Third Annual Spring Party", which they helped the "Boys' Club" give last May 23rd at Woodland Park. We might stop here and say that this was one of the achievements, which caused the two clubs to receive recognition outside of school. This year, the girls are trying to get "The Fourth Annual Spring Party" on foot, but just now, the way seems a little gloomy, for the boosters of the Boy's Club are gone. Since every girl has her heart bent on this, we all feel a s if our plans will be carried out. Although, having been organized for a very short period, this club has successfully carried out its first purpose, i.e., has created a more friendly and a clearer feeling among the girls than ever and much has been said in the Budget concerning them. To those who will succeed us we say that our hope is that they may continue to carry out the club's purposes and make them more effective than ever. �DEPA.RTMENTS ENGLISH When what is now our old high school building was new and of course wonderful, a story about the activities of the English department would have fallen far short of this required page in the Annual. Equipment for the whole course-very modern, indeed, you understand, was one fat text. Genung, perhaps, and a quarter's worth of fool scap paper. One studied fossil sentences from dead writers quite a s though English were a dead language, and u sed the foolscap for "essays" on such subjects as Flowers, or Cruelty or, maybe, Electricity. These essays were endured by the whole student body at "rhetoricals" in the big new a ssembly room. In bookcases at home one comes upon flocks of little books, high school Hoa r Mattoon Vl' olfe English classics of the next period. M e t cal f Poff Every senior had at graduation accumulated from a dozen and a half to two dozen of them, all more or less in the foreign language of Milton or Burke, or Addison. Then came a time when a pupils paper bill was his heaviest expense item; for all one's shrinking little opinions had to be handed in, in ink. It was a correspondence course though one saw the teacher every day. English was a dead language still. But since then schools everywhere have changed their Chinese attitude toward the Past, and no longer interpret a training for democracy as one in which everybody is given the same thing to do. Moder n life in which all have the same school work to begin with, read the same papers, see the same moving pictures and wear the same clothes must make us much alike. For this reason individual assignments are taking the place of class 'assignments in English. The department works with two ends in mind: that pupils may have something to express and know how to express it. Because we have to live in our own day we must understand it through its daily happening-s and its literature. We have got over despising the present, and are not worried over being called superficial. The world is big and various. Because other departments are obliged to specialize in their material, one at least should continually urge young people to see th e world, to realize the immense number of things about which men and women are busy. There is reason not r estlessness, then, in our being sometimes critics of a current play, or of Literary Digest cartoons; sometimes interviewers of local business men or again makers of scrap books on every subject under the sun. If English can give some notion of the rich variety of life, and some notion of how to take hold of it, all our globe-trotting wi ll be justified. If the dream of the department came true there would be in the new Liberty High School a laboratory class room for each teacher, where pupils might under supervision work up subjects for a ll courses from good daily papers and magazines; where from a little platform talks and simpl e plays could be given; where sli des could be shown at any time, and where plenty of bulletin boards could exhibit all sorts of interesting things. . We should like to send out people who know something about a great many things, but how to find out more on short notice; who can see, and make others see the application of what they know, and who can enjoy dail y th e best things within their reach. �- -'= ' - - - - -- --- - --~ -- - --------~~~- PRACTICAL ARTS l DOMESTIC ART It is a token of healthy and gent le characteristics when women of high thoughts a nd accomplishments love to sew.-Hawthorne. Domes tic Art is not only ing the constructive work in making, it is the choosing of and attractive garments of color and line. mastergarment suitable pleasing To be always well dressed is one of the greatest assets a woman can have. While we should please ourselves in the matter of clothes, we need not offend our neighbors by wearing unsuitable clothing. In this work systematic methods of thinking and accuracy in detail is sought for, and an increasing appreciation of hand work and simplicit y in dress without extravagance. Em n1ett M ill er Arnett Ewal t Co l e With the possibility of more room in the new Liberty Memorial Hi gh School many lines not now possible may be added to h elp in the realization of our ideals. DOMESTIC SCIENCE The kitchen is the foundation of the home. Through the laboratory, kitchen, school and home are brought closer together. Domestic Science includes the study of foods, cooking, marketing, planning and serving meals, dietetics, laundry and various processes connected with th e home. The aim is to give to the girl s an intelligent understanding of the food materials as to source, composition a nd food values; to develop skill in the selection, preparation and use of these foods; to form habits and methods of work, ideals of neatness, order, system and economy. The work is developed upon practical lines, but based upon scientific principles, emphasizing th e esthetic and economic values. Our ideal is to give to the girls s uch work that will be of value to them every day to help them meet th e needs of the community. 0 MANUAL TRAINING The aim of the Manual Training- department will always be to give its pupils as thorough and extensive a training in the manual arts as conditions will p ermit. In the shop and in the drafting room we hope to give the student such knowledge of practical mechanical work as will be of service to him in the selection and carrying forward of his future work, either in college or in the shop. · When the new "high school is completed it is hoped that with added facilities and s uffic ient room for expansion we shall be able to add new courses, including gas engine and a utomobile repair work, also a printing plant capable of printing the high school paper and a ll other school printing. The work of the entire department wi ll be broadened and take on more of a vocational nature than is possible under present conditions. THE ART DEPARTMENT The Art Department has a few things to be thankful for, in spite of the di stress about ventilation. With two attic room s at its disposal, it cannot complain of lack of room, especially when we compare its present quarters with those of former years ; for instance, when it occupied the present Botany room and then the north west room in the bas ement of the High School. When the department moves again we hope it will be to a well -equipped, well-lighted, wellventilated studio in the New Liberty High School. . During the past year several branches of art have been neglected in our department. Stencilling and china painting are two that have been neglected on account of high pr ices ; a lso be ca use of the impossibility of obtaining china. It is to be hoped that a g reat deal of both may be done next year. We may even go so far as to hope that in our new school we shall have a kiln for firing both china and pottery and thus build up a good pottery departm ent. Actual drawing and poster making have occupied most of our attention this year, though much time has been spent in designing and decorating various articles for school activities. -- - - -~ �MATHEMATICS In recent years Algebra and Geometry as subjects to be required of high school students, have come in for a fair share of criticism, but those who are in a good position to judge say that the science of mathematics is not dead and is not dying. They tell us that if mathematics had not been a required subject in the past years th ere might not have been men enough to fill places of responsibility requiring such a knowledge in the recent war. A course in mathematics of college grade was required of S. A. T. C. boys regardlesg of the branch of service they expected to enter, except for those entering the quartermaster's department. In nearHyde by cities boys with a knowledge of Rayhill Smith N ewman high school mathematics are enabled to hold certain positions paying seventy or eighty dollars a month while spending part time in school. Let anyone doubting the importance of the subj ect use his imagination for a few mom ents in trying to picture a world without mathematics. If you grant its importance to those who will need it in the doing of the world's work, see if also, honestly and without prejudice, you cannot answer "yes" to some of the f ollowing questions. Has your work in high school mathematics given you a n ability first, to think and express thought more clearly and accurately; second, to draw correct conclusions more easily; third, to give attention or to concentrate to any greater extent; fourth, to understand more fully any scientific discussion or magazine article? If you can answer any or all of these questions in the affirmative, we feel that your course in algebra and geometry has had more than a practical value for you. Mathematics, being an exact science, does not change greatly from year to year. However, this year we have felt somewhat of a new inter est and value in the subjects, som etimes called dry, because certain of our former high school boys who had gone into various branches of military service told us, some orally and some in writing, that they had already made a greater use of the mathematics learned here than they had ever suppoRed they would. When some of them were asked to make suggestions for our work, growing out of their experiences, no radical changes were suggested, but several agreed that facility and accuracy in mental work were very necessar y to success in military service. Hence, especially in algebra, a somewhat greater emphasis has been placed this year on oral work done by inspection and on checking. Someone has said that "a ninety-five per cent employee is practically useless," meaning that though an employee may make mistakes he should be able to check his work, to discover errors and turn in only correct r esults. In algebra also graphs of data concerning matters of general interest and of special interest concerning our high school needs h ave proved particularly valuable this year. In geometry the chief emphasis still is, as it has formerly been, upon the proof, distinguishing between reasoning to right conclusions and "jumping at conclusions". Practical applications of geometrical principles have been u sed whenever such problems could be found. An hour or two on field work has been of interest when we were studying similar triangles and trignometric ratios. Our third year of mathematics is not required for graduation. There has been an enrollment of about seventy-five in this optional work . this year. Every year there are a few students who wish that there might have b een a class in fourth-year mathematics. Whether that addition to th e course will come with the advent of th e new Liberty High School is as yet an unsettled question. �~ \ - --- ~ --- -- -- -- - -- --- -- --- -- - - -- -- FOREIGN LANGUAGE The need of a knowledge of modern foreign languages is felt today, more keenly perhaps, than ever before in the history of our school system . Our own country, now a world power, is brought daily into close contact with the great people who n.re making· history. For direct intercourse with these nations modern languages are indispensable. The practical aim of the department of modern languages is to g ive to its students a reading knowledge, and, in so far as possible, a speaking knowledge of French and German, thereby opening to its students new fields of thought, interest and service. France and Germany have contributed much to literature, philosophy, art and science and a knowledge of their lanuages is necessary to take the fullest appreciation of these contributions. In striving to attain this aim of a reading and speaking knowledge of the language, the department seeks further to emplov methods which shall develop in the stud ent, B l air Maffe t Do l b ee right habits of thinking, which shall teach him to reason and to be accurate and which shall give him a better understanding of his own tong-ue. The ideal of the Latin department is to make our work appeal to the students because the very acquiring of the language affords satisfaction and enjoyment and also because the knowledge of it proves worth while to them now and after they have entered their life-work. In order to realize this ideal we try in every way possible to socialize our work and to interpret it in the terms of every day life. Illustrative material such as pictures, slides, charts, exhibit cards and clippings aid in this phase of the work. The writing of original Latin stories and especially the u se of conversation in Latin, the vocabulatory for which we draw from our immediate environment, also further this end. To remind the student that Latin is a vital subject which he uses every day of his life, garbed perhaps in its English dress, the work in derivatives and the analyzing and building up of English words is especially stressed. Selections from current periodicals are found to yield a surprising number of Anglicized Latin words. The students are held responsible for the English derivatives both in oral and written work just as much as for the Latin form itself. In this way their spelling is improved and their English vocabulary is increased. A student never really und erstands the structure of his own language until he approaches it through a highly inflected language like the Latin and the importance of this point is increased because of the fact that Latin is usually the first foreign language studied. In this way the Latin a nd English are correlated . One of our fondest ambitions is to continue the work of coord inating Latin with other subjects such as mathematics and the physical and biological sciences which was curtai led because of our shortened school year. The study of the civilization of the Romans and Greeks who contributed so much to us in the realms of government, law, literature and science, we feel to be an important factor in broadening the students' horizon. Both in the daily work and in the preparation of special reports their attention is constantly attracted by the parallels in the political and social problems and also in the ordinary activities of that time and ours. As to the appeal of the languages because of its market value-since the terminology of science is largely Latin and Greek, the student who intends to specialize in such subjects will be aided by a knowledge of these lang u ages. As a preparation for such professions as law and medicine its u sefulness is also apparent. It's foremost practical valu e however lies in its close relation to the English. The ability to observe details, to discriminate, to make comparisons and to form judgments, mental pro~esses which are constantly exercised in the study of such a language, will surely prove to be most worth while in making our students efficient workers and citizens. ----- - - -- - �HISTORY A college profess or was teaching a class of settlement boys about Ner o; how he killed his wife, poisoned his courtiers, imprisoned his mother and longed to cut off the heads of all hi s subj ect s.

'Nood Hall Zentn1 cyer This story was told b y ProfessoJ Muzzey and well illustrates th e fact that pupils are interested in th e events of the past only a s they affect the life of the present.

The activities of scientific men, having apparently different objects in view, have this in common: they are all efforts to better mankind in some material way. Modern comforts, the result of modern industry , began with the invention of the stearr, engine, by the aid of which a man could often produce more than a hundred times what he had been able to produce before. Success stimulates new efforts ; the railroad, the steamboat, the telegraph, marine cables, the telephone. dynamo, electric motor, the electr:c light, automobile, the airplane, t!H• radio, and others, have followed rar> idly. Natural force s are doing more and more; human drudgery is becoming less and less. Science has proHiggs Ca r p enter Dorsey duced for our u se new and valuable substance,;: baking powder, matches, anilene dyes, coal oil, gasolene, dynamite, ether, chloroform, fertilizers, artificial gas, artificial ice, Bessemer st eel, and many more. Science has also taught us to preserve our foods by canning, to protect our crops by spraying, to protect our bodies from disease. Smallpox, t y phoid, diphtheria, malaria, yellow fever, tuberculosis, and others are losing their t errors. W e are learning to combat them; we are learning to avoid them. Science has won victories of peace, even more marvelous than its victories of war. But let u s not allow ourselves to conclude that science is the whole of an education. Among the valuable things which it is not: it is not recl"eational, not poetical, not artistic, not musical. Science makes no · especial appeal to the spiritual side of our lives. Yet science is friendly to all these; to the great masses of mankind, it might almost be said to have made them possible. Poetry, art, and cultm' e do not flouri sh alor.g wi th a t en-hour working clay and a dollar wage. Thi s, then, is the aim and ideal of th e L. H. S. r.cience department: To enCl'Urage science, in order that m en may enjoy better health, more co·11forts, have more time for recreation, for poetry, .for mu sic, for the artistic and the spiritual. Science is a means, rather than an encl. �VOCATIONAL TRAINING f NORMAL A prominent farmer entered a superintendent's office not long ago, and said: "Can you put us in touch with a teacher who has not only good methods in the school room but some comprehension of rural life and its needs, and is willing to make herseii one of us and help us solve our problems? She must be big hearted, well-trained, and practical, with the right outlook on life in general and on country life in particular." The Normal Training Department is making an earnest effort to train rural school teachers who will attain the high standard set by this farmStoc k e bra nd Alder er. Country life is undergoing a change which call s for new and intelligent leadership. This leadership must be developed by a more effective kind of rural school. To train teachers who are capable of conducting such a schooi is our problem. Believing that the country child should have educational opportunities equal t:> tl:ose of the city child we are seeking to train our prospective teachers to carry out a broader and more varied curriculum than the traditional rural school has offer eel, and one better suited to the needs of country life. To this end there was added this year, to the other professional requirements, a course in Handwork in which students are taught to work with a variety of materials in order that they may train children to use their hands to make attractive and u seful things. We are hoping soon to be able to add courses in Rural Life Prob~ems and in Rural School Music Methods, and also to provide for practice teaching for our Seniors, in a rural school not far from town, for we realize that to gain first hand experience in an actual rural situation is a most practical part of a teacher's training. With our own two rooms, our library, and our growing equipment we are realizing more and more that we are a genuine department. Our Normal Training Club has helped to unify us and make us a family group with common interests and common ideals, and with a host of happy mem- . ories of good times enjoyed together. We hope to graduate each year an increasing numbe1· of prospective teachers who have caught the vision of the large opportunity for service which is offered to the rural school teacher of today. VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE Vocational Agriculture was introduced into the Lawrence High School in the fall of 1918. This coune was outlined for the boy who intends to manage a farm sometime and will probably · not be able tp go to college or may not even finish high school.

Since improvements will The plan is to give four years of Agricultural work in the high school: and a boy taking this course will be given his high school diploma which will e:1ter him in college. One-half of the units required to graduate in this course may be Agriculture, the other units are gotten from other subjects in the high school curriculum. Boys over sixteen who feel sure they cannot finish their high school work may double their work in Agricultrue, finishing the Agriculture work in two years. The first year of Agriculture, subj ect' matter consists of Field Crops, Orchards, Gardens and Weeds. The second year will be studies of farm livestock, including horses, hogs, cattle of both the beef and dairy type, and sheep. The third year will be a study of soils, soil drainage and management. The fourth year will consist of cost accounting and farm management. Along with the subject matter of each year's work there will be given corresponding work in laboratory, shop, class project and home project work. Beginr..ing n ext year, short courses will be given for a while each winter for men and boys who do not have a chance to take a high school course. � https://s3.amazonaws.com/omeka-lplks/original/186d1f6b8b01b457351f6bb105ba9e5a.pdf 01f74206d64a8a108ce9a50f3d7f828a PDF Text Text �Basket Ball Tearn g s l e rh· Lupton U lm \'.To c stem e ~ ·e r · \Valth e,·s \\1 ilson Hanning· Enda colt \\Te ()cl Laptacl U h rlaub Hi gg in s L i nd 1918 LAWRENCE 6; LA WREN·CE 0: LAWRENCE 0; LAWRENCE 49; LAWRENCE 0; D im \Vooclruff .Anderson Rigdon T es t c 1·man Footba ll Scores WENTWORTH 7.

Playing the hardest schedule of the past four years the Lawre nc e High football team fi nished its 1918 sP-ason with one victory and four defeats to its credit. Although thi s is the poorest showing on the gridiron that Lawrence has ever made, much credit is clue to Coach Juliu s Uhrlaub f or turning ou t th e team that he did with such a great lack of material and other se rious di sadvantages. Coach Uhrlaub did not know that he wa s to coach until after schoo l had started and consequently had great difficulty in securing a schedu le. However, he succeeded in g etting games with Wentworth, Olathe, Ottawa, Kan sa s City, Kan s., Wichita, Leavenworth , Manhattan and lola, only to have most of them called off on account of the "flu ." Ho wever, hi s biggest difficulty was to develop th e inexperienced candidates into an effici ent, smoothl y-working football team. Our first game, that with Wentworth Military Academy, although it resulted in a 7-6 defeat against us, showed to what a remarkable degree he had succeeded, as all th e sport dop est er s had predicted an overwhelming Wentworth victory. Lawre nce's hopes fo r a successfu l football season were running high when, only two clays before the gam e with Olathe, the " flu vacation" was declared. Coach U hrlaub in the hope of holding the team together during a predicted "vacation" of two ·week s imm ed iately organized a football camp on the Lap tad farm, t o whi ch he took the entire sq uad. H owever, after th e predicted two weeks were up an::! school had not yet begun th e camp was abandoner!. Most of th e r e maining gam es were afterwards called off and a new sch edule was arranged-another game ·with 'W entworth was obtained for November 2nd. It later turned out that school did not begin until the fo llowing week so it was a great handi cap to us to enter the game. While we are perfectly aware of the fact that the school is ill thought of which continuall y offer s alibi after alibi for th eir defeats, we believe it onl y just and fair that the two seri ous handicaps f or Lawrence in thi s game should be mentioned.

WINFIELD 29. Th e basketball team of 1918-19 was the best team Lawrence High School ever had, accord ing to Coach "Dutch" U hrlaub, who has a lso coached the L. 'H. S. s tate championship team of 1914-15, heretofore r eg a rd ed a s our best team . Th e t eam won 17 out of the 21 games played; def eated the K. C. All-Stars ; cl efea t ed St. Joe, and did about everything else t here was to do but win the state tournam ent, in which th ey we re r unner s-up. At th e beginning of the yea1· Coach Uhrlaub decided to withdraw from the North ea s t Kan sa s Basketball L~"' agu e, of which we were champions la st year, and look for bigger "meat." Accordingl y he schedul ed ga mes with Emporia, Manhattan , lola, St. Joseph and towns of similar "class." Ther e was an abundance of material out at the beg inning of t h e season in add ition to th e f our lett er men, Woest emeyer, ·W eed, Endacott and Stauffer, of last year's t eam . Stauffer was declared ineligibl e earl y in the sea son, but Clarence Houk, last year's captain , ca me back to school f or th e second term so the loss was not f elt so k eenl y. After seve ral "cuts" were m ade on th e squad, th e line-up looked like this: Forward s : Houk, Coffman, Ackerman, Ulm and Olson; Center : Captain Woestemeyer, .. �- -- -- - - -~ -- or Ackerman; Guards: 1Endacott, Weed and Banning. Later in the season Banning was forced to give up on account of an injured leg. Moreover, several of the boys became ineligible at different times. We were ·not seriously bothered for lack of players until the tournament, when Houk and Coffman were laid out with pneumonia and the "flu." This loss was felt all the more keenly when Ulm had his already injured elbow badly wrenched in one of the earlier games. Endacott's ankle was "turned" and Woestemeyer had his knee thrown out of place. So it was a badly crippled team which played Winfield in the finals. Despite these reevrses the Red and Black quintette managed to hold the strong Winfield five to a 7-7 score in the first half. .But in the second half our offense crumpled and the Winfield forwards began to "find" the basket from the center of the floor, with the result that the game ended with Winfield on the long end of a 29-17 score. Two of our players, Endacott and Woestemeyer, made the first "all-state" team. Two others, Ackerman :and Weed, made the -second "all-state." However, the greatest victory of the Lawrence five was the defeat they gave the Kansas City All-Stars after having been beaten twice by this same team. This was the only defeat the All-Stars received and they were ranked by leading sport sheets as the fastest high school five in the country. The scores of the three games were 21-24, 20-41, and 22-21, the first scores being those of Lawrence. If beating the "All-Stars" was the team':;: greatest victory their greatest achievement was in giving the Student Body a chance to revive its school spirit. There has been little of the real L. H. S. loyalty among the students since regular daily chapels were discontinued, but this winter the studenfs got together and gave the basketball boys the best support that any team ever received. It was the support of the crowd more than anything else which made the team win the Schmelzer game and showed up in our other battles, the St. Joseph game especially. As factors in keeping up the "pep," Sorey's Jazz Band and Durland's cheer-leading helped wonderfully, but the big thing was whole-hearted support of every student. The Players Armin Woestemeyer, captain, played his second and last year on the team with the same steadiness and consistency so obviously characteristic of him in various other activities, "lady-fussing" included. His smooth floorwork in the state tournament won him a berth on the first "all-state" team. Westie intends to go to K. U . next fall. Paul Endacott, guard, is another senior who won his second basketball "L" and placed on this year's first "all-state" team. "Plukie" and "Westie" both decided, after the first game with Manhattan, to go to the Agricultural College there next year. They had received an invitation by telephone to come out to "mess" with the Aggie basketball team from a man, supposedly Coach :Clevenger. Both of these would-be "farmers," accordingly invested in a shave, massage and shine "to make a good impression." "Farmer" Woestemeyer even went so far as to have his hair cut. Imagine their "joy'!" when they learned that they were the goats of another "Dutch" Uhrlaub joke. James "Birdie" Weed, guard, is only a Sophomore, but has four "Ls" to his credit already, two football and two basketball, and was unanimously elected captain of next year's basketball team. "Birdie" made the second "all-st~te" five. Clarence Houk, forward, and last year's captain, was the most consistent point-getter on the team. "Houkie" didn't enter school until the second term and "got" pneumonia on the day before the tournament, so he didn't get a chance to make any "all-state" teams; . but it was largely due to his goal-shooting that L. H. S. defeated the Schmelzers. Houk will graduate this spring and go to K . U . next fall. Garland Coffman, forward, is a sub-senior who played his first year on the team. He is our other "alibi" for not winning the tournament as he was taken sick with the "flu" the morning of the tournament. "String-Beans" Ackerman is that lean, long, lanky sophomore with a hungry look in his eye, who won his first "L" and was placed on the sec:md "all-state." "Dutch" Uhrlaub swears that "String-Beans" is the "eatingest" guy he ever saw. Ralph Ulm was the utility man, playing either guard or forward, as the situation demanded. Strange to say, it was "Ulum" who made the "hit" with the ladies of other schools: "Who is that cute little black-haired fellow?" being one of the commonest questions. Norris Stauffer. "Stuffy" is an indifferent student,--er looking, but a good sport, but eligibility rules proved to be his "bug-bear" this year. "Chuck" .Banning wears his red hair and broad grin where-ever he goes. His football, basketball, and eating capacities are not cramped by any means. "Ted" Olson. "Fly-weight" is a Junior ~ho has very strict training rules. His first rule and the one which is hardest for him to obey is, "Don't have any more than seven dates a week with "Jo." "Pard" Durland plays basketball when he is eligible and becomes cheer-leader when . he isn't. It might be added that he is cheer-leader most of the time. Severt Higgins is a substitute who did a good job of warming up the side-lines, but couldn't get accustomed to the fact that "tackling" doesn't "go" in basketball. TRACK Lawrence High School's 1919 track season consisted of the K. U. Interscholastic meet in which we got 10% points. Carey ~ogers was elected captain and a great deal of credit is due him for the showing that the team made. The three boys who placed in the meet, thus winning their "Ls" were Rogers, Woestemeyer, and George Wilbur. Rogers got a second in the pole-vault, Westie placed second in the broad jump, and Wilbur got a second in the shot-put. The other boys on the team· who also entered the meet but failed to place were, Paul Patterson, Bob Sterling, Marvin Hyre and Phil Sterling. TENNIS Bad weather played havoc with a good tennis schedule, including dual matches with Northeast, Westport and Central High Schools of Kansas City, Mo., as well as the K. U. tournament. However, "Dutch" Uhrlaub is keeping his men at practice and othei' matches may be arranged before school is out. The men who have been coming out are Captain Beery, John Selig, George Hollingberry, Elmer Lupton and Lionel Semon. - �Girls Basket Ball T earn D e min g \Vall< c r R e ini::;ch l{no p H a le O rr Hobbs io td ec n Phillips Forwards-Margaret Walker; Louise Phillips ; captain.

Owing to the fact that no loving cup was offer ed t his year, to the bes t t eam of the four L. H. S. classes, each class did not organize a team. Besides the Freshman team, there was the High School gir l's team, whicl1 was composed of Sen ior s, Juniors, and Sophomores. Therefore, no interclass games were played. However, th e girls ' team played Oread High School, at t he Manual Gym, with a score of 18 to 5 in L. H. S.'s favor. Not long after another game was played with th em at Oread Gym. This score was 9 to 5 in Oread's favor. It was planned to play a deciding game, but Oread was planning to play in the tournament at K. U., and con sequently called off th e game. Several scrimmage games were played with the Freshman team, but no more outside teams were scheduled. Although th e girls ' basket ball team was not very active thi s ~~ ear, the girls, who were coached by Miss Deming, f eel that they have gotten a great deal from their practices, and can give L. H.

H . S. boys to whom this Annual is dedicated. This high school, which will be built on South Massachusetts street, will include several features that will be constant reminders of the sacrifice made by the Lawrence boys. The auditorium will be made large enough to serve as a community center, and a small bronze tablet to the memory of each of the eighteen boys will be placed in it. A place will also be made for a museum of war relics. Ask anyone in Lawrence, "Who did the most to support the bond issue of $230,000 for the best memorial Lawrence can build?" and he will say, "The high school students." For many yeal's the old-fashioned, crowded hig-h school has been a matter of chagrin. The students themselves, the victims of the inadequate equipment, were organized by Superintendent Kent, along with teachers, into committees to promote a campaign for a memorial high school. The students were very eager to make the drive. Armin Woestemeyer, president of tlie Student Council and chairman of the central committee, proposed that a week, to be known as Liberty High Week, be held for the purpose of interesting the townspeople, and informing them of the need for a suitable high school building. The first event of the week was the publishing of a special edition of the Budget, giving reasons why the voters should vote "Yes," on the bond issue. Copies of this issue were distributed to every home in Lawrence. Next, the "Whizz-Bang," commonly known as a circus, was given by the students to defray the expenses of the campaign. Next, were the four-minute talks advocating the bond issue made by Ruth Spotts and Paul Endacott at the Senior Play, · "Green Stockings," at the Bowersock. The last four days of the week the high school he:ct "open house," that every voter might come and see for himself just why the students were placarding Lawrence with such slogans as "It Shall Pass," "Give Us Room to .Breathe and Grow," etc. The climax came Thursday, March 27, when Sergt. Mahlon Weed marshalled an all-school parade down Massachusetts !Street. A striking feature of the parade was the living AmeriCan flag formed by one thousand grade school children. Veterans of the Civil and Spanish-American Wars, returned s<Jldiers of the European war, members of the National Guard, and the . Kansas University and Haskell Bands also participated. In this campaign every pupil of the Lawrence Public Schools had some part, and each of them -feels that he has a real part in the greatest memorial to be erected to the memory of the brave nineteen boys who gave their lives for their country. ��When Blinky Won the Game By Charles Sisson No one ever dreamed that Blinky Ericksen's one consuming ambition was to be an athlete. Blinky's ideal of h eaven was a football gridiron or a basketball court and his angels were all athletes rigged for the game. Flat-footed, near-sighted, as awkward as an ostrich, and indescribably tall and thin, this was Blinky Ericksen in his last year at Riverside High School. Year by year he had seen his athletic hopes grow less. His defective eyes had kept him out of football and baseball, and hi s ridiculously long arms and legs got in his way ana tied th~mselves up into such awkward knots whe;1 he tried track or t ennis that after a few brave attempts Blmky gave up out of consideration for his opponents and the sp ectators. .But at every game there was no sturdier rooter on the sidelines than Blinky, and no one ever guessed that back of his _loud and cheery "Rah! Rah ! Riverside!" there were a ny unsatisfied longings. His schoolmates took hun for g-ranted with good-natured indifference. Blinky was Blinky to them, hardly worth noticing at all except as a convenient "goat" for their careless jesting. There was one boy in the school whom Blinky secretly idolized, and that boy, as it happened, was the one who was held in the greatest contempt by the whole student-body. Blinky hardly admitted it, even to him self, but nevertheless he admired Snipe Muldune more than he did any other _boy in Riverside High. Snipe was a fellow of medium build, strong and muscular, but of a disposition so retiring that he appeared almost sullen. There was no doubt t~at Snipe ~as the best all-round athlete in the school, but he had fallen into disr epute because of a suspicion of d1sloyal and unsportsmanlike conduct during the football season in Blinky's Senior year. In the last game of the season, some one gave away to the Bancroft team, Riverside's bitterest enemy, all the signals of Riverside High's eleven, with the result that Bancr oft won by a "3 to 0" score, thus stealing the championship from Riverside. Of course the wrath of the school was roused against the boy who had so little school loyalty as to t urn traitor and play such a conte mptible trick. For some r eason, partly perhaps because he was not a true Riversider, having come from another school the year before, and partly because his silent, almost sullen dispo sition had k ept his schoolmates at a distance and no one really knew him, suspicion gradu ally settled upon Snipe. There was talk of "circumstantial evidence." Someone suddenly remembered that Snipe had played half-heartedly that day. Other "proofs" were brought to light until the evidence stood quite distinctl y against him. Meanwhile Snipe went doggedly on his way protesting his own innocence, but suggesting no explanation for the disloyal act. In time, because of lack of positive evidence, the matter was dropped; but the hard feeling remained. Blinky alone always believed that Snipe was innocent. Moreover, he had a strong suspicion who the guilty person was, and he more than half believed that Snipe knew, too. Blinky longed to clear his friend, but because he did not absolutely know, he had to k eep silent ; and when, during the winter, word came of the sudden death of a football man who had left school at the end of the season, Blinky felt sure that Riverside would never know who was the real traitor. * * * * * * * * * The final event of the b ask etball season, the state tournament at Riverside, was in full swing. Riverside had worked herself up to the final s, where she was to meet Bancroft, the school that had beat en h er out of the football chalTIIpionship in the fall. Riverside felt confident, for all her men were in good form-all, · except Snipe, who was not playing in his old place on the team. Unconsciously, the su spicion of his schoolmates had affected his playing until the coach, exasperated by his halfheartedness, had relegat ed him to the position of a substitute. Keenly humiliated as he was by this open reproof, a strange stubbornness which Snipe himself hardly understood, kept him in the game even after the change. • The finals started amid the yells of th e River side rooters, who had turned out in full force. At first the pros-p ects looked bright for the home team. By the brilliant floor-work and shooting of · White, her big center and captain, Riverside took the first six points in quick succession; then the Bancroft defence stiffe ned and the opposing t eam slowly evened up the score. As the first half was nearing a close a nd while th e score was still "Six all," one of the Bancroft players tripped ·w hite, Riverside's mainstay, and laid him out for the rest of the game. The rooters were dismayed, nor were they reassu red when Snipe was sent in to relieve one of the forwards, who took White's place as center. A successful free throw brought Riverside's score up to seven and the score ended "7 to 6" in favor of the home t eam. Wh en the referee's whistle blew for the beginning of the second half, Snipe was again in as forward. It was evident that the Riverside rooters were troubled. They did not have confidence in Snipe a nd their fear affected their enthusiasm. They became more afraid a s the g-ame proceeded, for Bancrof t made five consecutive field goals, running up a nine-point lead. The Riversiders grew strangely quiet. Blinky, watching Snipe, realized that he was losing his grip. "They hadn't oughter do him that way," he muttered, under his breath. "They're a bunch o' nuts. Gee! I sure wisht'--" Then suddenl y, leaning across th rail, and making a megaphone of his hands, he bellowed, • "Come on, Snipe, old top!" We're with you! Tear 'em up! (Rip 'em up! Kill 'em! You can do it!" • The effect was electrifying-. Instantly all Riv erside was on its feet. The restraint was gone and the crowd went mad. Shouts of "We'll get 'em ! Show 'em what you're made of, -Snipe! Play up, boy, play !" came from all sides. And Snipe olayed; played as he had never played before; played as no one ever dreamed he could play; in fact, played the best game Riverside had ever seen, He became the � https://s3.amazonaws.com/omeka-lplks/original/dad80b9871e3ba1a7e36ad56bf5be18e.pdf 6ab5d4a58a8389db889d7273e1149aed PDF Text Text �The one who thinlcs these jokes are punk Would straightway change his views, Could he compare the jokes we print, With those we do not u se.

The low number of votes for the several candidates is due to the fact that there \vere so many persons in the race. Liz Dunkel was mentioned for the best a ll-round athlete. "Dur" and "Stuffy" each "copped" several votes in the Midnight Oil Consumers' column. The Freshmen got it hard. Several votes react "all of them", while others were "a~! so green there is no choice", for the Greenest Freshie. Pap was mentioned for the Best Dancer. The Janitors came in strong, Albert for the Most Popular Teacher, and Tom for the Most Popular Boy. Several new offices were created. George Anderson "got it" fer the Biggest Feet, and Junior Allison for the Biggest Pro-German. "Dur' got a number of votes for Cheerleader. The "Higgins Family" ran high for the Pushing-est Pusher. One brilliant lad wrote "Take a look at Dm· and laugh," in the School Wit space, while School (Half) Wit was found in several instances. Zentmeyer and Cannonball Jones got honorable mention in the Worst Squabb ler column. Emmett and Miss Ewalt were men_tioned for the Worst Case, Mr. Riggs for Cutest Flirt, Bill Anderson for Most Efficient P. S. B., Emmett for Sta!lingest Grafter, Dorsey for Would-be Orator, Innes for Sport Booster. The results of this year's spelling lessons were very evident on nearly every ballot. The following are a few of the n ew ways of spelling names: McTune (Mattoon), Scentmyre (Zentmeyer), Sweazre, Squeeser (Sweezer), Derlin (Durland), Malin, Maylone (Mahlen), ·Westermeyerer (Woestemeyer), Endicot (Endacott), Marshall and Marchia (Marcia). ��- ~- -- -- - -- - - - - - -- - - -- - - ---- Established 1877 Merchants National Bank Lawrence, Kansas Under the old town clock CAPITAL AN D SURPLUS __________________________________________________________________ _____ $275,000.00 We realize that it is not only a duty but a privilege to be co-operators in all business and civic activities incident to the best interests of this community.

He shot from the center, from both sides, from under the basket, and he rarely missed. Whenever he was needed, there he was. The rooters were so amazed and dumbfounded that they could hardly yell; and Bancroft was swamped to the tune of "54 to 20." Snipe had won the game and the crowd knew it. When it was all over, they hoisted him on their shoulders and. carried him around amid their own deafening cheers, in spite of his vigorous attempts to say something. Finally he succeeded in making himself heard. "You fellows have got the wrong guy!" he shouted. "There's just one guy in Riverside High that did it and that's Blinky Ericksen. If Blinky hadn't yelled when he did neither I nor any of the team could have put up any fight at all. I'd advise you to drop me and give Blinky a ride." Instantly, there were shouts of "Blinky! Blinky Ericksen! We want Blinky!" Of course they found him, for Blinky's length could never be hid, even in such a crowd. They swung him up beside Snipe and started on their triumphal march again, while the room rang with "Fifteen for Blinky! What's the matter with .Blinky ?" As for Blinky, himself he grinned from ear to ear, and there was no happier boy in all Riverside that night. It was .g ood to feel that he, Blinky Ericksen, had had a real part in Riverside's great victory! but best of all was the knowledge that the old score against Snipe had been forever wiped out. And for days afterwards his friends (for all the boys were proud to be his friends now), overheard him saying to himself: "1 knew he wasn't yellow; yes, sir, I knew he wasn't." ANNUAL REUNION OF L.

The best medical authorities predict a recurrence from time to time. Therefore, there is a greater necessity for carrying Life Insurance today than ever before. Insure your life while you are in good health and protect.those that are dependent upon you. Secure your protection early in life and thus reap the benefit of the lower rates. Don't forget to insure with a Home Company. The Fraternal Aid Union issues policies only on adequate rates to men and women on equal terms.

Those present were Severt Higgins, sitting· at Miss Poff's desk, Mildred McGuffey, :n front of room, Miss Poff, in back of room, Elizabeth Dunkel, at the side, and William Anderson. Severt and Bill had just had a big squabble over which one of them had done the most work in Boys' Club. As the argument terminated, Bill walked into the Budget office and closed the door. Ere long E lizabeth heard strange sounds, somewhat resembling the mournful dirges which the Indians sing in "Hiawatha". Liz: "Mildred, do you suppose Bill is sin g-· ing?" (oh oh - ah - tee dum-dum.) Mildred (distinguishing the sounds from Mi ss H enry 's class up stairs ): Heavens ! isn't that a fright?" Severt, becoming . interested, bursts into silent laughter. Liz: "For goodness sakes, Severt, go in and put him out of his mi sery." At this moment Miss Poff looks up from her work, listens, and a look of fright rushes over her face; t hen rushing to the door of the Budget office, she exclaimed: "Oh! I 'm sure he must be in pain. H~ sounds as if he were suffering." However, the opened door revealed Bill calmly writing at the desk, and softly humming to himself . P.

History now correctly has it, that that class, commonly called the class of 1919, is the greatest class ever graduated from L. H. S. Look here, look there, those "Nineteeners," seem to be everywhere; the leaders in the famous school spirit, the leaders of athletics, at the top in public speaking, unexcelled in dramtics, and the right hand of the ready future. Lawrence high school, and the people of Lawrence will not for years forget the ability of that class of "19," in dramatics. The first farce, "!Bicyclers ," was presented by them in the freshman year at a masquel·ade party. This farce was coached by Mary Harold West, a former faculty member. William Engel's part, a comedian, was particularly outstanding. "A Bunch of Roses," was the second attempt, which was given at the first term party of the Sophomore year. It was such a success that it was by request, r epeated for the "Big Circus of 1916." "Who's Who," was presented for the second Sophomore farce. The Junior year's social success was the Junior Prom. With Elizabeth Dunkel as manager it was a credit to the class. The Prom was held in the new Congregational Parish house, which was decorated with the class colors , and flowers. A splendid three course dinner was served bv the Sophomore girls. The very clever farce "The Heirs-At-Law," was given on the church stage, as a· climax to th e seniors' entertainment. The crowning feature of the four years in dramatics, was the senior play, "Green Stockings." It was produced by an able cast of tw elve, on the Bowersock stage. Annie Mitch ell, the leading lady, who was later elected the prettiest girl in high school, was a brilliant success. Every part was well held; and by the excellent coaching of Mrs. Harold L. Butler, the play was co n sidered well produced. Although the night of March 24th was stormy, the theatre was well filled. The g ids of th e class of nineteen have always been "up and coming" in athletics. Although they have n ever won an inter-class tournament they have always put up a good scrap. Louise Phillips, Esther Knop, and Cecil Hale are the three seniors on this year's girls' basketball team . "Doc" Phillips was captain. •, Lawrence High's first girl cheerleader, Elizabeth Dunkel, is a member of our class and it is officially reported in athletic circles that Wilma Miller, another senior, is the girls' champion bicycle rider of the world. Nor have the boys of nineteen been slackers in athletics. Ever since we became Freshmen, members of our class have been prominent as basket-ball, foot-ball, track and tennis stars. In 1915, "Hap" Frye, who left school to go to war, a lthough only a freshman, was rated as the best football player in school. Our Freshman basket-ball team, Houk, Eastman, Putnam, Wa1thers and Higgins s ucceeded in defeating the haughty Juniors ; and our base-ball team, Burton, Neff, Houk, Putnam , Miles, Coffman, Beery , Williams, Eastman and Higgins took third place in th e interclass baseball leag ue, putting' ~th e proud Seniors of that year in the "cellar". Our. athleti c prestige increased greatly in our Sophomore year. Dudley Neff and Severt Higgins being regular substitutes on the football team with "Ha-p" Frye. Paul Endacott began to loom up in the limelight along with Clarence Houk and Donnie Eastman. Arlo Putnam got an "L" in tennis and O'Leary,' Eastman, Ro gers, and P a tterson made their first letters on the track team. During' our third year in high school we were "all it" in the sport light. "Dud" Neff, Charlie Banning, Jack Naismith, Leo Applegate and "Carcas" Higgins made the football team what it was. Houk, Endacott, Woestemeyer and Stauffer were the mos t important basketeers, Houk being captain. The success of the team in winning the district basketball championship was due largely to these men. Captain O'Leary and Rogers were the only Lawrence track men who "placed" in the Interscholastic meet and Dolson Beery, captain of the tennis team, was recognized a s the school's best "racketeer." Th e members of the class who made athletic reputations in their Senior year are so many that only a brief summary is possible here. All of the athletic teams had Seniors for captains; the two Lawrence basketba ll players who made the "all state" were Seniors; and the three Lawrence track men who placed in the "interscholastic" were Seniors. Und er the leadership of Severt Higgins as president the Senior class was carefully piloted through turmoil and trouble, unto the day of gradu ation. The president has had the honor of being a renowned athlete, the public speaker of the school, and a dramatic star. "Hurrah for Higgins!" When the war's cry for patriots was heard, one of the first organizations to respond to the call was the class of "19." Many of htr men joined the colors, and those that could not go, paid for a Liberty .Bond, to support their share of the go vernment, and their fighting classmates . . A great deal of honor is due Mahlon Weed the first member of the A . E. F. to return to the class. Besides making an enviable record in France, he has more than distinguished himself since his return. They adopted a French War Orphan, and paid one-half more of his allotment, than was expected. The Senior breakfast, the picnic, the class-day exercises, and commencement are on the last of the "19" program. Finally graduation day will see the class of 1919, start into the problem of life. One gloriou s class, that of 1919. K. C., '19. �Patriotic Work War Orphan Pierre Ferre, the French war orphan adopted by the Class of '19, was born Jul y ,3 1, 1914. Mrs. O'Leary made the arrangements for the "adoption" last term. The s um necessary to s upport the orphan was $37.00, a nd the class raised thi s sum to $42.50 by voluntary subscriptions. The following is th e translation of a letter received: My clear Guardian: I thank you sincerely for your kind letter and for what you are sending which I have not yet received, but which will not be long delayed. . I 'am truly happy that yo u have chosen m e f or your god child and I hasten to send yo u my photog r ap h which I ass ure you is that of an obedient little boy. Please accept al so th e thanks of my mothet·, who has · been much touched by your letter. I beg you to write soon to the fo llowing address: PIERRE FERRE, Chez Meus Duborg, an Haillau Gironde, France. Liberty Bond The members of the Class of '19 are leaving to the Hig h School, a memorial of their loyalty and patriotism in the form of a fifty dollar Liberty Bond, purchased in 1918. At this writing the class h as not definitely decided for what purpose the bond shall be u sed. However, eith er of the . following plans has been suggested. One of the plans is to turn the bond over to the fund for the bronze memorial tablet, in honor of High School men who di ed in the service of their country, which will be placed in the new Liberty High School. If this plan is n ot carried out, the bond will be used to buy a trophy case for the new school. Either of these u ses will be a suitable class memorial. ~ 0 0 �Football Team U lm Este rl y Woe ste m eye r B a nnin g End acott Lupton Walthe r s W e<Od L a pta d U lm Wilson Uhrla ub Higg· in s Woodruff Lind A nde r s on Ri g don T est e rman 1918 Football Scores LAWRENCE 6; WENTWORTH 7.

Playing the hardest schedule of the past four years the Lawrence High football team finished its 1918 SP-ason with one victory and fo ur defeats to its credit. Although this is the poorest showing on the gridiron that Lawrence has ever made, much credit is due to Coach Julius Uhrlaub for turning out the team that he did with such a great lack of material and other serious disadvantages. Coach Uhrlaub did not know that he was to coach until after school had started and consequently had great difficulty in securing a schedule. However, he succeeded in getting games with Wentworth, Olathe, Ottawa, Kansas City, Kans., Wichita, Leavenworth, Manhattan and lola, only to have most of them called off on account of the "flu." However, his biggest difficulty was to develop the inexperienced candidates into an efficient, smoothly-working football team. Our first game, that with Wentworth Military Academy, although it resulted in a 7-6 defeat against us, showed to what a remarkable degree he had succeeded, as all the sport dopesters had predicted an overwhelming Wentworth victory. Lawrence's hopes for a successful football season were running high when, only two days before the game with Olathe, the "flu vacation" was declared. Coach Uhrlaub in the hope of holding the team together during a predicted "vacation" of two weeks immediately organized a football camp on the Laptad farm, to which he took the entire sq uad. Howevei", after the predicted two weeks were up and school had not yet begun the camp was abandoned. Most of the remaining games were afterwards called off and a new schedule was arranged-another · game with 'W entworth was obtained for November 2nd. It later turned out that school did not begin until the following week so it was a great handicap to us to enter the game. While we are perfectly aware of the fact that the school is ill thought of which continually offers alibi after alibi for their defeats, we believe it only just and fair that the two serious handicaps for Lawrence in this game should be mentioned. In the first place the team had no scrimmage practice for three or four weeks and were badly disorgani-zed by the absence signals were often "balled up" and the team-work the game itself which resulted in a 54-0 defeat, the of Austin, our large tackle, from the line-up. In was entirely lacking. However, we are perfectly willing to take it as "part of the game," the oft-used expression of our coach. �The remammg three games may be briefly summarized as hard-fought, but costly boneheads and Jack Naismith returning to school next fall, and Lllst u s two more defeats. The need of a punter waE badly f elt throughout the whole season. Ralph Ulm, our quarterback, did most of the "booting," although both Lupton and Walthers did some. The prospects for a winning team next year are bright, only Wilbur, Endacott, Woestemeyer, Esterly and Captain Higgins being lost by graduation. This leaves Captain-elect Ulm, Banning, Weed, and 'vValthers in the backfield, and Woodruff, Anderson, Testerman, Laptad, Austin, Wilson, Lupton, Joe Ulm and Stauffer in the Line. Add to this the possibility of Mifflin, "Sap" Frye, Carl Broker, a nd Jack Naismith returning to school next fall and Lawrence's hopes run high. It also might be said here that if the student body gives the same support to next year's football t eam that it gave to this year's basketball team, the season is sure to be successful. •Ralph Ulm and his team-mates will take care of their end, so there is no reason why next year's footba ll season shouldn't be ever-victorious. The Players Severt Higgins, captain, was the only year man back. Due to the scarcity of men "Carcass" played in the line instead the backfield. He expects to go to K. U. fall. third lineof in next Ralph Ulm, captain-elect, is one of the scrappiest high school quarterbacks that ever put on a suit. "Ulm's" hard-tackling won him a reputation where-ever he played despite the fact that he weighs only 132 pounds. Ulm is a Junior, and now has t wo football and one basketball "Ls" to his credit. "Chuck" Banning, left-half, won his second "L" in the back-field although when necessary he was used at his old position at center. "Red's" smiling, eating, and football capacities are practically limitless. He is only a Junior and is eligibl e to play ·football next year if he doesn't settle down on the farm. Paul Endacott came out for football for the first tim e in his senior year and easily won his "L," developing into one of the best ends we ever had. "Pluke" expects to go to K. U. next year. James 'W eed, right-half, is only a sophomore, but has four "Ls" already, two football and two basketball. "Birdie," as he is generally called, was the erstwhile cook at camp who fri ed the bacon in "Mazola" oil. Harold Tester;nan, tackle or end, is a freshman who got his "L." Although only fifteen, he weighed 160 pounds so he will probably develop into a phenomenal player. Lawrence Woodruff, center, had his nose broken twice, but it ' didn't lessen hi s football ability or imposing appearance to the ladies. "Woody" is a junior. Bob Laptad is a farmer boy who didn't knew the difference between a football and a pumpkin when he entered school this yeal'. Bob soon showed that he was a good end, how-· ever, and could t ake care of any opponent even if he was only a freshman. Elmer "Pinkie" Lupton is that short, fat, sweet, red-headed junior guard who weighs only two hundred and ten pounds before dinner. However, Pinkie can eat as much more as is necessary for him to hold down his job if required. George "Footney" Anderson is a sophomore with two good "understandings," size No. eleven. "Footney" played guard . George "Doc" Esterly, a senior, didn't come out for football until his last year, but his "fight" and size won an "L" for him. "Doc" went on the Hill for the last "quarter," so will probably go out for the K. U. freshman team next fall. Vvilliam Austin, right tackle, was one of the few players of previous football experience on the team. Bill is a junior who played at Cottonwood Falls last year. Norris Stauffer, a senior, is another guard. "Stuffy" and his car often proved themselves of great value to the team. Vernie Walthers, fullback, was a consistent "ground gainer" during the whole season. Vernie also did the forward passing. He is only a sophomo re, but will not be back in school next year as he is going to Naperville, Illinois, to live. Armin Woestemeyer, basketball captain, tried out for the line where he did good work, but Westie's place on th e football team should be in the backfield as was afterwards learned. He will go to K. U. next fall. Earl Wilson is another freshman who showed up well, but didn't get in quite enough quarters to win an "L." He got a reserve letter. J oe Ulm, sophomore, is a brother to next year's captain, and will try out for end. He received a reserve letter for that position this year. George Wilbur played guard in parts of a ll the first four games, but couldn't stay out for the last one. George graduates this year. "John" Rigdon, although small, made most of the trips. He is another senior who goes to K. U. next year. George Lind is our handsome little water boy. Of course, he has a "case." "DUTOH" UHRLAUB Coach Coach Uhrlaub, the football, basketball and tennis coach, deserves much credit for the s uccessful athletic teams this year. He succeeded in keeping footb all alive in the high school, when its existence was threatened by war conditions. He has coached two La>vrence basketball teams, one in 1914, which won the state championship, and this year's team which was runner-up in the state tournament. \His popularity among his players is one of the greatest signs of appreciation for what he has done that could be given him. "Dutch" won't coach here next year, but he will be missed. 0 �• - A~'o'~81l 8 1l8nd 38N3~M'o'l L OS"Lhh'I:D S"DE'I: 0 \\l\\l\\l\\\\\\l\l\\\\l\\\l\\ l\\ l\\\\\\ll \\\\\\ l\l\\ l\\\\\l\ I � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
