�History of the Lawrence High School
GERTRUDE PALMER

In tracing the history of the Lawrence High School we must
go back to the very early times before the Quantrell Raid. In the
spring of I857 Mr. C. L. Edwards, a much respected citizen of
Lawrence today, started a school in the basement of the old U nitarian Church, then situated near the upper end of the goo Block Ohio
street. This school was not a real High School, as one would think
of it now, as it included pupils all the way from five to twenty-two
years of age. But it was nevertheless the elementary beginning of
the High School. The following year the city government was established and the schools organized. The High School department
was in charge of Mr. Edwards, assisted by Lucy M. Wilder, Sarah
Q. Brown, Isabel Oakley and Lizzie Haskell. It was called the
Quincy High School, after Hon. Joshia Quincy of Boston.
Perhaps few of us would have ever thought it, but the High
School bell also has a little history of its own. Through the efforts
of Rev. E. N ute it was purchased and shipped for Lawrence by way
of New Orleans, May, I86s. The vessel was wrecked in the Gulf
of Mexico, where the bell and clock lay for several weeks. It
reached Lawrence in September and amid great rejoicing was raised
on Massachusetts street. That winter it was placed in the rear of
the Old Unitarian Church where it was used to assemble the first
high school. In I 8go it was purchased by the Board of Education
and placed where it now hangs. Upon the bell these words are engraved: "My tongue shall speak of Thy word, blessed is the people
that shall know the joyful sound, they shall walk, 0 Lord in the light
of thy countenance."
In I859 Chas. W. Adams succeeded Mr. Edwards as principal.
He, in turn was followed by Simeon M. Thorpe, a fine scholarly man
from New York, who fell a victim of the raid in '63. The records
of the school board were lost in the raid. After him the principals
were Mrs. M. E. Barber, A. C. Farnham, and Miss May Carpenter
successively, the latter from '63 to '67.
The High School was organized in I870. In I87I the lots for
the High School building were bought. In I875 the first class graduated, consisting of two members, a boy and a girl. In 1885 the Preparatory School at K. U. was · discontinued, increasing the High
School attendance. A short time after, the High School began to
prepare students for the University, which it has done ever since.
About this time an effort was made to get contributions from the
whole county for the H. S. building. But the county was not in
favor of the movement and Lawrence had to raise all the money herself. The building was completed in I 88g. Mr. Stanley was superintendent from I 88o- I 88g.

Up to this time the high school course had been completed in
three years. In 1889 it was changed to a four year course. The
class of I897 had 72 members. In 1889 a class of sixteen graduated,
ending the three year course. In I 889 the first four year class grad uated.
Many who have since become noted men and women in higher
education have, in the past years, been teachers in the Lawrence High
School. Among them are: Prof. W. H. Johnson, High School
Visitor of K. U., who was High School principal; Prof. Crawford,
now Professor of European History at K. U.; Prof. Price of the History Department of Manhattan Agricultural College; Prof. Miller,
retired mathematics professor of K. U., was another of our principals;
Dr. Alberta Corbin, professor of German at K. U.; Prof. Arthur
Corbin, now of the Law Department at Yale; Mr. l\!Iorsher, a valuable inventor of Lawrence, taught Chemistry and Physics in 1902.
In 1893 our loved and respected Mr. Olney came to be our
principal. The next year lVIr. Smith came as superintendent. Since
then the school has maintained a healthy and interesting growth. In
I 896 the first High School paper was printed, called the Budget. It
had as managing editor, Geo. 0. Foster, now Registrar of K. U. It
was a fine paper, gotten up with talent. In the same year the school
had a Literary Society, a Debating Club, and a House of Representatives, or a club for the study of Parliamentary Law. They also
had football, and among the names of the score we find that of Harry
Emmett playing left tackle. · One custom about the time of I 896,
for the death of which all Seniors now must surely to be thankful,
was that of Seniors giving Chapel Orations. There was also at the
time an Athletic Association, and the boys and girls had separate Debating Clubs. The graduating class of '96 contained 41 members,
this being the most successful year of the school that far.
In 1900 tbe first class memorial was given to the school. It is
the picture of Christ and the Doctors, which hangs on the north wall
of the study hall. From I902 to I906 the girls indulged in basketball, having moderately good teams most of the time. During all
thtis time the Budget was enjoying a steady growth. Always an interesting paper, its brilliancy and humor increased in the years I 904
to 1906. During the years I903 to I906 its name was changed to
"The Windmill." But its honored namesake, having gone the way
of all matter, the name of Budget was again resumed. In I908 the
Budget got out its first Annual edited by a specially appointed staff.
Since then there has been an Annual every year, though put out by
the all-year staff.
In the year 1907-8 the Manual building was erected, and was
ready for use for the year 1908-9. Last year Mr. Riggs was made
head teacher of this building. Since 1908-9 a full course of Manual Training in four different branches is offered to the students. They

�are Domestic Science or Home Economics, Sewing, Shop Work, and
Drawing.
The following teachers are themselves graduates of L. H. S.:
Misses Kate Riggs, Grace Blair, Maud Maffett, Grace Poff, Cora
Dolbee and Ruth Patterson, and Mr. Harry Emmett. Almost all of
the academic teachers are graduates of K. U. lVIr. Otto Kriego, of
Central Western Academy is also a graduate of this high school. At
least fifty per cent of the Phi Beta Kappa Society on the hill are L.
H. S. graduates, and they also form the majority of the "K" men.
The total graduates of the Lawrence High School up to this
year is 1,167, 1,069 of whom have been graduated by Prof. Olney.
With the excellent teachers which we have on our faculty and the
ever increasing growth in the number of students as well as in the
teaching methods, our dear old L. H. S. is a school to be proud of and
will doubtless become more so from year to year.

"DEAR OLD PAP."

LESTER ALLEN
"He's a dead game sport."
"l\1ike" hails from Ireland we are sure,
somewhere in his history but we very much
doubt that he came direct. He was born in
the recent or distant past but as to' just when
he has left us to guess. He is a jolly, good
natured fellow, light hearted, and popular.
He came here to school from Emporia.
"Mike" has been traveling around for the
last few months but we are glad he knows
a good thing when he sees it and came back
to graduate with us.

Mary landed on this terrestrial sphere I 895
only a half year later than her beloved chum
Nina. Her first home was in Bennington,
Kansas, after which she lived six years at De
Soto. This year she and Nina simultaneously
migrated to Lawrence where they are never
seen alone. She is a conscientious student and
has a very amiable disposition. She intends
to study music in the future, probably at

her an honor student in K. U. next year.
MARIE BANNING

good."
Girls' Glee Club 'I3; Commencement Program 'I 3. Marie was born right here in
Lawrence in I 895. She is a very bright and

Prom '12. Sallie was born in Ft. Worth,
Texas, in I894, but has attended L. H. S. for
four years. She is bright and jolly and her
laugh has won her many friends.Ever since
the prophecy at the Senior party Sallie has
been afraid of becoming an old maid, but she
is the only one that thinks so. She expects to
take Domestic Science at K. S. A. C. but our
bet is that she doesn't.

LEWIS BECK
"I-Ie thinks too much-such men are dangerous."
Debating Team to Ottawa '13.
Lewis was born in the year I 892 on the
noted day of April rst and as a result has been
fooling people ever since. He has always
been recognized as a good student but has never
been accused of being a grind. His four years
in L. H. S. have not been marked by very
many startling events but we expect great
things of him in the future.
GRACE BENTON
"Graceful ease and sweetness void of pride."

Girls' Glee Club '13.
Grace came to earth in Kansas in I 894. She
has been with us all through her high school

existed without her. Although she is quiet,
she is mighty sweet and everybody's friend.
She will attend Washington University.
ALBERT BIRCH
"Silence is a mark of wisdom."
Football Team '12-'13; Track Team '12'13.
Albert was born in r894 at Oak Mills,
Kansas. Albert is a chap who has many
friends. He is one of the Seniors, who has
helped us along in football and track and has
made a name for himself this spring. He will
probably enter K. U. with his class.
FRED BENEDICT
Football Team '12.
"A quiet unassuming chap of sterling
W01'th."
Fred was born in Lawrence in 1895, and
owing to his love of Lawrence and incidentally several occupations of Lawrence he has always lived here. Fred is a quiet fellow, but
always has plenty to say to the girls. He says
he is undecided as to the future, but perhaps
you could find more definite information as to
what he will do, if you inquire of some of the
L . H. S. girls.

�GRACE BELL
"A rose, with all its sweetest leaves yet
folded."
Freshman Budget Reporter ; President Bible Class ' I I; Glee Club 'I2-'I3.
Grace was born in Lawren ~e r 895 and has
attended school here ever since. After the
Senior election Grace hid herself in the
"B rush" and only came forth to public view
tn·ice at the Glee Club Concerts, at which
performances she made a decided hit. We all
know Grace as an admirable and popular girL
She is going on the hill next year, where she
will probably take Fine Arts.
FRED ORVILLE BLAYLOCK
" fi e is w ise-if I can judge of him."
Junior President 'I I- ' I 2, De So to High
School.
Fred is another of our De Soto acq uisitions. H e arrived there July 28, 1895 and
remained till his fourt h year in high school.
In his Junior year he had the honor of being
president. He has a capable business head
and the deepest chemistry experiments seem to
be mere play for him. He will surely become
something great someday with his brilliant
brain all(! affable smile. He will continue to
pursue l\!Iinerva at K. U. next year.

ROLLIE BROWN
"The s11rest way not to fail is to be determined to succeed."
T r easurer of Senior Class ' 12-' 13 ; Budgt:t

and everybody knows him. He is well liked
by everybody, especially by the girls in his
chemistry class. T his year he has been prominent in politics, being Treasurer of our Class.
As Exchange Editor of the Budget, he has
11·orked hard to make the Budget known
througho ut the high schools of the U nited
States. He expects to enter K. U. next year.

�MARGUERITE BROWN
"A light heart lives long."
Senior Girls' G lee Club '12; Girls' Glee

Kansas, in the year r8gs. She has spent most

BESSIE BRUSH
"Music hath charms."
Junior Prom committee 'I 2; P in committee 'r I; Senior G irls' G lee Cl ub '12 .
Since the year I 893, Bessie has succeeded in
add ing a good many honors to her name. Besides her schuol work, she has had time for
music, having attended the Fine Arts School
for the past three years, as a student in piano.
She has two by-words: "Oh! joy-" when
suddenly pleased, and "Oh! my soul," when
f ussed. She expects to enter a denominational school at Wichita next yea r, making history
a specialty.
ESTHER B U RKE
''Our best is don e by ourSflves."
Esther was born December 17, 1895, in
Burr Oak, Kansas. She came to L. H. S. at
the beginning uf her Junior year, and this
yea r is attending K . U ., so we haven 't seen her
as much as we would have liked. She has accomplished in a quiet manner w hat a number
of us make a great deal of noise in ~l oi n g. She
will continue to attend, K. U. next year.
GLADYS COL~

"Everybody's fri end, nobody'.\· t' ll t'/11 )'."
Gladys was born r895 at C lay Center,

MAYME CORCORAN
"And cloudy the day or stormy the night
The sky of her heart is always bright."
Mayme is a genuine Kansan, born in Troy,
1894. She graduated from public schools
there and moved to Lawrence where she has
attended L. H. S. for four years. Mayme's
vocation seems to lie along Domestic Science
lines and she is waiting for a chance to practice what she has learned . If she doesn't get
the chance she will go to K. U. next year.
MILDRED CURD
"No mouse was e,v er half so still as this
sweet little lass."
Commencement Program ' 13 ; Girls' Glee

Mildred was born December 6, I895, at
Florence, Kansas. She finished grade school
in Marion, Kansas, with the highest average
in the class.
She entered L. H. S. in 1909
and has received straight ones all through the
course, except for the two-2 averages she received after an illness in her Sophomore year.
These two grades kept her from being an
honor student. But such is life, Mildred!
Can you image Mildred teaching next year?
ZOE DOERING
"I may not smile out loud, but my disposition's sunny."
Glee Club 'I3.
Zoe was born in Cottonwood Falls, Kansas, about fifteen days after Gertrude, making
her eighteen years old. Maybe this is one
reason Gertrude and Zoe are such good
friends. Zoe will take the Primary Course
on the Hill next year.
FLORENCE ESTHER DUNIGAN
"A maiden with many good qualities."
Girls' Glee Club 'I 3·
Florence was born at Guthrie, Oklahoma,
July I 9, I 895. She has a peculiar habit with
her cases, no sooner getting one apparently
under way, than you suddenly become aware
that a transition has taken place. One is never
up to date on her cases. Florence has a beautiful voice, and will probably take Fine Arts.

LAWRENCE ENGEL
"'Tis pleasing to be schooled in a strange
tongue."
President Junior Class '11 -'12; Junior
Farce '12; Junior Response '12.
Lawrence was born in Lawrence, April 20,
1895. He spent his Sophomore year in Germany, so L. H. S. had to get along without
him for one year. We showed our liking of
him by making him our President the next
year. One of the most illustrious things that
Lawrence ever did was to get a "two" in the
Burke quiz-he has been so conceited ever
since that he hardly speaks to the rest of the
E nglish students.
ELFRIEDA FISCHER
"They laugh that win."
Treasurer Freshman Class '10-' II ; Junior
Farce '12.
"Fish" as she is best known began her career right here in Lawrence in 1895. She is

Christmas. H elen will go to K. U.
GAIRALD GARRETT
"Quiet, unassuming, gentle, guaranteed
harmless."
Gairald's existence began in Lawrence in
March, I 894. He is one of the few senior
boys and he works hard for his grades and
gets good ones too. He is w ill liked and
popular, especially in the French class, where
he reigns supreme. He expects to enter the
E ngineering School next year.

�MARGUERITE GIBSON
"S hort of spei'C!t as well as stature."

Girls' Glee Club '13.

High School were spent in Wellsville, Kansas, then she decided to join the famous class
of 19 I 3 at L. H. S. She has made friends
while here, especially a ce rtain Junior boy.
She is undecid ed as to what she will do nex.t
year but we hope she will go to K. U . w ith tt s.
LOR~NA :VI AY GWIN
''Calm and of an inq uirin!J turn of mind."
Lorena mad e her debut in I 89.3 at Oak
II ill, Kansas, and from there moved to Council Crove. She is quiet and industrious and

here in the year 1895. H e made his hit as
actor in Junior Farce in I gr 2 and wound up
his career as "The Baron" in the Senior play.
The "Budget" has been a financial success under his management. He will probably take
engineering on the hill next year.
ETHEL HADLEY

E urodelphian Society, Sioux City H. S.
E thel made her appearance in this world
in 1892 at Parsons, K ansas. Her high school
career previous to this year has been spent in
Sioux C ity High School and Morningside
Academy. Hearing of the famous normal
class at L. H. S. she decided to join it, and
become a "school mar 'm" She has a ver y
pleasing manner, w hich we hope her pupils
w ill enj oy as much as we have.

�FLORENCEECKART HOAR
"As the stars twinkle in tlu firma~nent,
So do I shine before the footli.r;hts."

Girls' Glee Club 'IJ.
"Flos" began her earthly career in W akeeny, Kansas, in I895, and moved to Lawrence two years later. Added to her attractive personality she has a beautiful voice which

OTTO HERMAN HUNZICKER
"As proper r1s one slwtl see in a Slllll!ller's

He arrived at Colony, Kansas, in I895, and
during his four years in L. H. S. has proven
himself a loyal student, and a boy who can be
depended upon to do something great for the
world. He is a good student and a jolly good
natured fellow. It's really too bad he has
never been in love. His high school education has only made him thirst for more, and
next year he will enter the U niversity.

�OPAL HOLMES

She entered L. H. S. in her Junior year, having spent the first two years at Pleasanton,
Kansas. She has devoted most of her time to
the Girls' Glee Club, making a hit when she
sang the "Tin-Gee-Gee." She is a girl who
has a host of friends from the fact that she always has something amusing to say. Opal
says her highest and lowest grades in deportment were 70 and 48, respectively.
GOLDIE FERN HYRE
"Has to be known to be appreciated."
Goldie was born somewhere at some time,
but tell us the facts she would not. With
the exception of her Sophomore year, which
was spent at Long Beach, California, she has
attended L. H . S. where she is known to all
by her charming disposition and cheerful smile,
which are valuable assets. Her tastes run
along the line of drawing and painting and all
who have seen her work admit that it is
splendid.

MARGARET MAY ICE
"Content to follow where other's lead the
way."
Her birthday is given as Stull, Kansas, and
with it is the date 1893. She intends to

her in maintaining order in a school room.

Gertrude has been winning hearts for I 8
years. She was born at Cottonwood Falls,

FRANCES LEWIS
''Meek and gentle as a lamb."
Girls' Glee Club 'I3.
Frances began associating with other earthly beings on a farm near Lawrence. She is

disposition, which has won her many friends.

�Class Poem
The bright sun sets upon the fresh spring day
' l'he hours of toil and pleasure have an end;
With glowing beauty do they fade a11·ay
And sing goodnight upon the evening wind.
Even so our four, long, happy years do cease
And we must \\'ander from these homelike walls,
Must leave our teachers, ministers of thought
Who skillfully have shaped our growing minds. Gertrude Palmer
Thus far they have lead us-here their guidance ends,
Only their influence surrounds us still
And in our memories their accents ring.
To distant shores the tide will bear us on,
On many a distant scene our eyes will rest,
Friends and companions yet to us unknown
Will travel by our sides our hearts to cheer,
Duties unheralded, tasks now unforseen
Will meet us on our way our strength to prove.
Each in his hour will stand his fate to choose,
Each meet his better angel and his worse
. Bidding him follow; and he, in manhood's might
Will tread upon the worse and crush it lovv
And to his better angel give his hand
To walk with her and let him light his path
To truth and honor and achievement high
To deeds of noble cou rage, and to thoughts
Harmonious with the heavens, and woods, and hills,
In grandeur, power, and in simplicity.
But though our paths and lives lie iar apart,
In country or in city, near or far
Still over us the same blue sky will bend,
The same stars shine, the same sun give us light,
Humanity surround us ever and
Our hearts, though wandering the great world o'er,

�Class History
This article is not intended to be interesting,
instructive, or beneficial in any way; but is simply a simple account of the doings and undoings
of the Class of 'I3 from the day of its birth in the
fall of '09, until its final assimlliation with the
people of the world in the Spring of '13· In
looking back over our history, we find that we
have much to be proud of. Possibly we have not
made as much noise as some of the classes; but
after all, when one thinks of it seriously, he is inclined to doubt if much yelling and loud bragDorothy AngeYine ging, such as distinguished the Class of 'I 2 are
the things that make a class great.
CHAPTER I

"He, w ho knows not and knows not that he knows not, IS a
Freshman, shun him."
Of course the class of 'I 3 had to begin as Freshmen. About the
first of September, I 909, the class of 'I 3 paused·, as other Freshmen
had done, before the portals of their future place of learning to gaze
with awe upon the upper classmen, and once more to assure themselves that they did not look ordinary Freshmen. Then, singly and
in pairs, they climbed the wooden stairs, the boys to be welcomed by
paJdles in the hands of Herbie Coleman, and the girls by the jeering
taunts of older girls.
Now as .soon as they had looked around a little and noticed the
manner of the place in which they were, a few of the more ambitious
among them argued among themselves and came to the conclusion that .,.
some organization was necessary. Accordingly the class of '13 was
organized and started upon its prosperous way under the presidency
of Jean Russell. This was before the time of printed tickets and exciting elections!
Now the class of 'r3, being very ambitious, decided they would
make themselves heard from in respect to three things; athletics, dramatics, and as good students; and they very soon set about it. Our
first act was to contribute. Everest Milton to the football team as
water boy. In due time, the class colors, dark blue and gold were
selected and the class yell chosen. The above-mentioned Everest Milton is also responsible for the class yell.
Now in every group of people there are some who are socially
inclined and it was the same with these. Agitations were started and
rumors were soon afloat that a Class party was to be held , but alas!
it was not so. The class decided they were by far too industrious to
indulge in social affairs, so the matter was dropped "like a hot potato;" and the class buried themselves in their books. After vacation a
second attempt was made to show the upper classmen "who's who"

�l!l·-·~--··-·,-·0-Cit-CIO-CIO-G0-CI0-4t-l0-t

i!trll aull illarlt ·---··---·1!]

in the form of a chapel program. Their exceptional musical talent
made the rest of the classes "sit up" and "take notice," for it was farbetter than any of the rest.
Then the Class of ' 13 did a most marvellous thing, the like of
w hich had never been attempted and never has since! The Class of
' 13, not wishing to wait till their Junior or Senior year to display
their dramatic talent, put on the play Ivanhoe. It was given under
the direction of :M iss Poff, fo r the benefit of those who had st udied
I vanhoe and was a decided success from ever y view point.
Then there was a girl in the Class of ' 13, who was noted for her
splendid ability as an elocutionist, so :M aude .i\loore entered the Declamation Contest, 11·inning third place, which was considered quite an
honor for a Freshman. With the coming of spring, came also awakened interest; and Interclass Baseball furnished an outlet to the class
of 'I3's enthusiasm. Among the games played was one between the
Class of 'II and the Class of ' 13, in which the men of ' 13 were beaten by a score of 18 to g. It was a piece of hard luck, but the hopes
of the men of 'IJ were by no means crushed, for they stayed in the
race, playing against the Class of ' 12 who were made the Interclass
Champions by the game, winning by a scor e of 17 to 5. T he Class of
'13 felt no disgrace, ho wever, for they had put up a good fight. The
Freshman year was in this manner a year of accomplishments and
honors without number until the end of the term.
CHAPTER II

"lie, w ho knows not and knows that he knows not, is a Sophomore, teach him."
When the Class of ' I 3 gathered again, they were classified as
Sophomores and given a fitting place among the students of the
school. And when they had looked around, they saw below them a
numberless multitude, whom they knew not, but on consideration they
remembered that these must be Freshmen, and that these Freshmen
would need advice and instructions; so the Cl ass of 'I 3 always treated the Class of ' I 4 kindly and trained their feet in the way they
should go. Now it seemed proper that they should contribute someone to do this; and it was so clone. Linnie Sheets and Elfrieda Fischer as president and treasurer, r espectively, took care of the poor little
innocents. Mary Atkinson was chosen to lead the C lass of '13 during its Sophomore year and promised to "do things." There is much
rloubt as to whether she did or not, but anyway the C lass certainly
did.
Since it was a habit for the boys and girls of the Class of ' 13 to
be very good and honorable students, man y of the girls joined :Miss
Riggs' Bible Class, of which organization Grace Bell was president
and Bessie Brush, vice-president, w hile a number of the boys belonged to the Life Problem C lub.
And now the C lass of I3's athletics began to dawn. · " Butch"
Cowells and "Bit" Hoskins helped to make the ever-victorious team

of I9IO; and the Class of 'I3 helped to draw the tally-ho, filled with
heroes, through the streets of Lawrence. And then basket ball was
revived in high school. lt took lots of talk and lots of money to get
it started, but a team was finally chosen, the Class of 'I3, furnishing
the captain, "Bit" Hoskins and Harold Reed, another star player.
This team was also ever-victorious; and the Class of 'I 3 feel that they
gid much toward giving the team this honor.
As the Spring brings forth flowers and fruit, so did this Spring
act on the Class of 'I3 . Maude Moore again entered the Declamation Contest, this time winning first place; and thus adding another
honor to her own name and to the Class of 'I 3. Earl l\!Ietcalf was
on the Track team, and helped to win the State Championship for
our High School. The Class of '13 was also represented in Tennis,
having three members of the four on the team. Tlws the Class of
'I 3 helped to make Lawrence High School have an ever-victorious
year by boosting all the athletic teams; even the girls petitioned for a
girls' basket ball team, which failed to meet the approval of the faculty. This Spring passed like other springs, with lovemaking, ("Bit"
and Madge developed their enduring case) work and play and all
that makes life worth living or brings joy to the heart of a student.

CHAPTER III
"He, w ho knows and knows not that he knows, is a I unior, wake
him."
And when the Class of 'I 3 met again as Juniors, they saw that
above them were only a few; and below them an ever increasing multitude of struggling humanity was gathering. And when they saw
all these things, they were well satisfied and went their way but quietly and without ostentation. The first thing on the program, of
course, was an election. It proved to be more exciting than ever before, due to the fact that two tickets were put up, one headed by Roland Cowell anEI the other by Lawrence Engle, who had just returned from over the "briny sea." The election resulted in Lawrence
Engle being made President and the Class of 'I 3 started on its third
~·ear, a well organized and vYell developed body of students, who were
ready to work for the glory of the Class and School.
President Enle, thinking that Juniors were old enough to handle
class pins and sociable enough to have a party, appointed the Pin and
Social Committees. In spite of the fact that the Budget made fun
of the Class of I 3's pins and that Harl Russell said they should' be
used as shields against snowballs, the Pin Committee chose the prettiest and most attractive pin ever \\·orn by any class in this High
School. Lots prettier than the common little diamond-shaped pins !
It made the rest of the classes turn green with envy, except the
Freshman Class-they were already green! The Social Committee,
after holding numerous meetings and dances over at Atkinsons, decided they would wait until the Junior Prom for the social function

�of the year; all of which was very entertaining for the committee, but
otherwise for the rest of the Class.
The Class of 'I 3 again became distinguished by another chapel
program. The program has been forgotten, but Blanche was probably there with her violin.
The Class of ~I3, having furnished "Butch" Cowell, Everest
JVIilton, and "Bit" Hoskins to the Football team, journeyed to Topeka to cheer them to victory, but alas! to defeat. Anyway, it \\·as
~ nice little trip. Then the Class of 'I 3 turned their minds toward
Basket-ball, and at the same time turned in many dollars to insure its
success. Besides having Harold Reed and "Bit" Hoskins on the
team , the Class of 'I 3 donated :Madge Parrish as private scorer for
"Bit." Then, for the third time in succession a member of the Clas&gt;
of 'I 3 won first place in the Declamation Contest.
.
Now about this time, the Class of 'I3 invited the Class of 'I2
to attend their Junior Prom, and entertained them in a most gorgeRegardless of the fact that the
ous and "scrumptious" manner.
"Best Prom" President wasn't elected, and that the Prom had to he
given in JVIanual, it was the most successful Prom that had been given
for many years. The farce, which was staged, was a very clever
one, and brought before the footlights a number of dramatically inclined members of the Class of 'I3.
When the weather became warmer, all the track athletes came
forth, among them six members of the Class of 'I 3, who helped to
win the Ninth Interscholastic for L. H. S.
During the Spring term the Class of 'I 3 watched the Class of
'I 2 to see why they should be so great, and on examining closely
found that they were not great, but that they were rattling around
in a place that was too big for them; and when they had graduated,
the Class of 'I 3 held the place called Seniordom, but more comfort:lbly than did the Class of '12.
CHAPTER IV

"I-IF, who knows and knows that hf' knows is a St'nior, follow
him!"
Now when the Class of 'I 3 found themselves to be Seniors, they
were not puffed up, but remembered the trials and tribulations of the
underclassmen and were kind to them. Their first act of kindness
and an event, which the girls of 'I 3 had the honor of originating, was
a party for the new girls of High School, who had come from out of
town schools.
Now when the time for election was come, numerous red "Booster" and white "Progressive" posters announced the candidates for the
Senior officers, Cargill Sproull and Grace Bell, respectively, running
for President. Cargill Sproull, the "Booster" was elected President,
and has been "boosting" ever since. His first "Boost" was the Senior party, given in the Y. M. C. A. parlors, celebrating Hallowe'en.

1!\rll anll "ila.ck .....

It was a great success, the entertainment of the evening being that of
writing prophecies.
A number of the boys Df the Class of 'I 3 tried to beat the yellow
and black again this year, but their efforts were all in vain. Not to
be daunted , the boys of the Class of '13 organized a Basket Ball team
and entered the Inter-class champion race. Their first opponents
were the Sophomores, who were beaten by a score of I 7 to I 4· In
the game between the Juniors and the boys of ' I 3, the Class of 'I 3
was victorius, w inning by a score of 42 to I 3. They next u ndertook to destroy the hopes of the Freshmen, and this was done. The
Basket Ball Champions of the Class of 'I 3 were: Archie Walters,
captain; Harold Lytle, George Dunkley, Albert Birch, Earl Metcalf and Cargill Sproull. On the High School Basket BaH team
were Captain Reed and Harold Lytle, both of whom did excellent
playing.
While the athletes of the Class of 'I 3 were thus winning fame,
various other members of the class were helping along in other lines.
Harold Lytle, Rachel Sankee and Frank lse won the three prizes,
offered by the Budget for the best Christmas stories. Four members
belonged to the Orchestra and more than half of the Girls' Glee
Club was composed of Seniors. If an opportunity had been given
the Class to win the Declamation Contest, they would probably have
done so.
The next event was the decision of the Class of 'I3 to have indiv;dual cuts in the Annual. This certainly shows the originality of
the Class of 'I 3, because such a departure had never been d reamed of
by any other class. This year they are large enough to be seen without the aid of a microscope!
And then the Class of 'I 4, in return for the many acts of kindness done them by the Class of 'I3, invited the Class of ' I3 to their
Junior Prom, where they were royally entertained by a banquet,
and later in the evening a farce, "The Dumb Belle," which was given in the High School Auditorium. A most enjoyable evening was
spent by the Class of 'I3, who found the Class of ' 14 splendid hosts
and hostesses.
Two weeks after this occasion, the Class of 'I 3 was entertained
by the faculty. What more fun could a Senior have than to be entertained by the teachers? . The star performance of the evening was
~he presentation of tableaux from favorite childhood stories. They
were very cleverly done and were enthusiastically applauded by the
Seniors. The telling of fortunes by Mrs. F . P. Smith and the refreshments were also interesting features.
And then the boys of 'I 3 gathered together, and, choosing a night
which had neither moon nor stars, climbed to the roof of the High
School building and covered portions of it with paint, so that in the
morning the blue numerals 'I 3 were to be seen by all persons whomsoever.
Shortly after the appearance of the Thirteens on the High

�School building, the Seniors reached the crowning height of their
glory. The Senior play, "A Scrap of Paper," was staged l\!Iay gth
at the Bowersock Theater, and was pronounced by everyone the best
play ever put on by any Senior Class of L. H. S. Not only was it
the best amateur performance of the year, but was classed by many
above some of the plays given by university students. After the expenses had been paid, l\lanager Sproull announced that $-1-0. I 5 had
been cleared. Part of the money was taken to buy the Class l\Iemorial for the school, an up to date bulletin board; some was taken to
pay class day expenses, while part of it was divided between the
Class Breakfast and Picnic. No record was made of the 15c, but it
is more than right that the President should keep it as a salary for his
year's work.
The Class picnic, given for the girls of the Class of '13 by the
boys of the Class, was a very enjoyable affair, the boys proving themselves to be delightful hosts. The Second Annual Class Br&lt;:akfast,
which was given this morning by the girls in return for the entertainment of the bors, was a great success. Only one more event is
w:mting, until the class of 'I3 bids farewell to High School, and that
is Commencement. Surely after grinding a\\·ay for four years, there
11·ill be some members of the Class of 'I 3 who will surely shine.
To close this history, we will say that the Class of 'I3 has carried Lawrence High School a long ways forward from where they
found it, both in athletics and other forms of student activities, and to
you, 0 Class of '14, we leave this record of our grand and successful
. deeds, as an example for your future work.

�Senior Class Statistics
By Class Statistician, CARGILL SPROULL
In order to give you an idea of the size of the graduating Class
a few statistics have been figured out very accurately. Every measurement is supposed to be exact and every total counted.
First, we have 83 Seniors, the largest class that ever graduated
in this school before or after Prof. Oln~y came to be Principal. The
girls carry off all honors when it comes to number for they have 6o
to the boy's 23. There are also 6 girls who are honor students while
the boys' have one honor student and are lucky enough to get one boy
on the Commencement program. In writing the names of all the Sen:o:s
it is necessary to write a total of IOI2 letters. The shortest name
contains only 8 letters and two people are tied for this honor, Nina
Reed and Frank Ise. The longest name contains I 6 letters or twice
the shortest one and it is also a tie, between ·M arguerite Gibson and
Harold Nottingham. The total number of letters in all the names
would make 39 complete alphabets but a careful search discloses not a
single J, Q, or X. If these letters were written each an inch high
and were placed on top of each other the result ·would be a column
84 feet, 4 inches high. There are twelve people whose last names begin with the same letter and this letter is B while S follows a close
second with I I names.
The tallest person in the class is 6 feet, 2 inches short and the
shortest person is 5 feet tall. The average height of our Seniors is
5 feet, 7 inches. If the class could stand on each others heads, forming a column up in the air, the top of the question mark on the top
girl's spring bonnet would be 480 feet off the ground.
Allo1\·ing a square foot and a half for each person to stand in ,
the Senior Class plus the entire Faculty could stand in the Budget
room at the head of the West stairs and still leave 3 sqL!are feet for
"Heine" Riggs to stand in.
If the Seniors should form a line with their arms stretched out,
so that their finger tips would just touch, the line would make a
square circle around the High School building and leave enough over
to reach from the line on the side11·alk to the North and West doors.
If the same line should form at the South door of the Manual building and extend into the North door of the High School build ing and
up to the East stairs, the last man in the line could read a notice on
the Bulletin Board.
There are 10 Seniors living on Tennessee Street which is more
than live on any other one street.
The second ward has 38 Seniors while it's nearest competitors,
the first and third wards, have only 16. Ten of our Seniors have rural addresses.

�No attempt will be made to give the relative size of shoes worn
or the sizes of the girls' or boys' feet because we are back on our Life
Insurance Policies and don't believe in taking risks.
The Presidents of the Graduating Classes in this High School
for the years '1 I, '1i, '13; have lived between 81 '5 Indiana and 913
Indiana but it seems thar next year the Presidency will leave this
block probably to go to Missouri Street.
We do not know the total weight of all the Seniors but it could
be estimated at about 5 tons and 7 50 pounds.
The above statistics are absolutely correct in our estimation and
if you do not think so or have any further figures to give, come to our
private office, Room 184953 which is located on the 184th floor of
the Singer Building, New York City.

�'The Juniors
The ] uniors have always been enterprising, ever smce they entered High School as little green, Freshmen. As soon as the elections were over, in which Linnie Sheets was elected president, they
got class pins and planned for a party. It was given at the home of
Marie Starkweather and every one had a delightful time p]aying the
usual Freshmen games. Edward Todd was elected Sophom6i:e president. Not long after the beginning of the term a party was giveii. ~at:~the ;home of Rose Haworth. There a new idea was carried out by givin·g_ _a
Soohomore Farce, "A Class Day Conspiracy." That year the Athlete's
of the class began to shine, and, on the whole it was very successful. We
have now come to the year just past. With Woodman Gibson as presdent, the class has kept up its reputation of "doing things." A ] unior
Party was given in the Fall at Eva Anderson's home, then in the
Spring came the annual Junior Prom. There the new plan of having a dinner was carried out, and then followed the farce, "The
Dumb Belle." The Class this year has also had its full share of
athletes in all the teams. Well, one more year remains and with such
a successful past history in cannot be a failure.

I

t

One September morning the class of I sn s came to the High
School. The reception line stood at the head of the west stai rs. The
first day every one settled do1-1'n to work and if yo u saw a teacher
w ith a smile on her face yo u knew she had on of the Freshmen
classes. The officers were elected and our pins came the first month.
The third month· a very delightful party was given. T his was such
a grand success that we gave a second party. The second year everyone returned. The fam e of the class had spread all over the state
and people came to join it. The election was keenly contested but
in the end we had a fine list of officers.
On the whole the so·
cial 1ife of the Sophomore C lass has been very pleasant.
A
lovely party was given at the home of Helen Wagstaff.
The class
has stood well in Atheletics and some of t he best men have been picked from this class. The girls of the class went in for dramatics and
staged the "lVIerchant of Venice."

�'The Freshmen
When the class of '16 entered High School, 21 I answered to
roll call. The class now numbers I92 , showing only a slight per
cent decrease. We were received r oyally, and enjoyed getting
acquainted with everybody and ever ythi ng . . The boys have taken
an active pa rt in Athletics, and the girls would have been glad too, if
they had been given the chance. One triumph for the basket ball
team, was the Junior-Freshman game which resulted I4 to I 3 in our
favor. After class officers were elected the President called a meeting to appoint class colors and yell committees. The first Freshman program was given December 20th, ' and proved our class contai ned some talented members. About this time we, having been
diligent students, cleciclecl we needed a little recreation , and took it in
the form of a class party. The party ,,·as given January I 7, at the
home of Harry Ziesenis. l\tliss Poff was t he only teacher who honoreel us by attending our festival, excepting Prof. and lVIrs. Olney.
Fvervone enjoyed themselves immensely. T his year the Freshman
C!ass officers were courteously invi ted to have their pictures in the annu:Jl. and \\'illin[!ly consen ted . The representatives, who we re apiJOi ntecl from the class of ' r6 to the Stuclen t Council, were Clell Francisco and Hazel Stubbs. The second Freshman program was given
:Yi ay I , and \\'as verv interesting.

�They refused to have their pictures taken, BUT-

�Childhood Days -ofthe Faculty
"Backward, tum backward, 0 Time in your flight,
Mak e me a child again just for tonight."
Perhaps you do not recognize these hands, that are always ready
to do whatsoever any L. H. S. student asks of them. These ears are
tlv: same that listen to our many troubles and trials. This mouth is
the same that has a good word for everybody and never was known
to speak harshly.
Perhaps you do not recognize these, but surely
you will recognize this intellectual frown, and if you look closely at
these big, honest, blue eyes, you will surely see that they are the same
that look at us every day, from the sweet, smiling face of our "Pap."
Grace Blair was born with "a smile that won't come off." It
is ever present even when she puts down a "four" on some wouldbe-Cicero's card. Latin has always been Grace's long suit and encyclopedias state that at the age of one and a half years she had put
"l\1ary had a little lamb, etc;" and several other of those nursery
classics into the very best Latin prose.
Miss Riggs came into the world smiling and has continued to
smile ever since. l\!Iaybe that is one of the reasons we love her so
much but it would be hard to tell all the reasons, they are so numerous. When Miss Riggs was a little girl she 11·as the most popular
g!rl in her class. The teachers always gave her ones; and she al11·ays
received at least fifty valentines on Valentine's Day. The little boys
used to fight to see who would be able to draw her home from school
on her sled, but she only smiled at them and didn't encourage one
more than the others.
Miss Poff was a remarkabl y precocious child , talking intelligibly
at one year, and reading books of poems at four. She learned to read
by th ~ modern word method before she even went to school, so impatient was her sprouting. genious. She was late to school only once, and
that because she jumped over the fence to hide while some cows went

hy.
\Vhen Miss Metcalf was a little girl she read and read and read
'ome more. She made up an original story when only four which
contained all the essential points. ·She read a deep Egyptian novel
when nine years old. If she ever played games with other children
we believe she must first have investigated to see if it was a perfectly
good game in every respect, not too heavy, not too light and fully
within their ability to play properly. If it was not such a model game
she turned up her nose and fled majestically to her books.
"Maudie" always a precocious child; as anyone could tell by
her Websterian brow. One day when she was about six months old,
her mother asked her if she had anything in her mouth , and Maude is
credited with replying, "absolutely nothing." She has been talking
ever since. In her more youthful days she aspired to the printin~
business, but evidently changed her mind.

�Once upon a time there sat in a rocking chair a very sweet little
maiden with a history book in her hand, looking intently at the pictures. "Dat man is Napoleon Bonaparte," you could have heard her
say, "and dat one is Columbus, who discovered "Americar" in 1492.
Oh, my dracious, I wonder if I can 'member all that 'till I grow up
and teach school?" But lVIiss Wood has never forgotten them and
several others. She can tell you, without even looking at the book,
when the J\Iagna "Charter" act was passed and when Luther posted
l1is ninety-five theses.
"Heine" Riggs was always noted for two things from early infancy; his large size and his willingness to help. When four months
old he weighed something like 5+ pounds and at six months he insisted on helping shingle the barn. His early leaning toward Physics is
sho\\'n by the following incident. He received a Noah's Ark for his
first birthday and soon afterward turned up missing. His mother
finally found him leaning far out of a second story window in the,
act of dropping his Noah's Ark. "'Heine,'" she said, "\\'hat in the
world are you doing." "Why," he replied promptly, "I was just going to make the ark (arc) light on the well curb.
J\Iiss Jackson utilized every spare moment in her childhood days
in reading Dickens, Shakespeare and non-fiction. She knew almost
all of Shakespeare by heart and her favorite doll was named "Portia."
At school her themes were so perfect in form that her teachers often
be\\"ailed the fact that she could find no place for red ink. But her
greatest delight was writing Burke quizzes so that now when she gives
a quiz, she has only to consider what she herself would have enjoyed
:mel that flunks most of the class.
J\Iay Wallace has had a remarkable life. The poor, little thing
was a foundling, found on the door steps of the home of a rich chemist. She was such a lively little child that he decided to keep her, so
every day she was propped up on one of the large tables in the laboratory room. She became a great pet of all the students and they
nick-named her "H. C. L." a name which just suited her for she was so
active and the only thing that would keep her quiet was to put her on
the floor with half a dozen chemistry bottles to play with.
We do not know Mr. Ross' weight at the time of his birth, but
we do know that he was very sickly. Had it not been for his fierce
determination to live and take care of Lawrence High School Athletics, and incidentally U. S. History and Economics, we might not
have had these treasurers. l\II r. Ross has been noted from the cradle for
his versatility. His chief word when small was "Why?" He often
tried his mother's patience sorely but he always found a reason for
everything. Look what glory this trait has brought him!
l\Iiss Newman, when a child, lived near the sea shore. l\Iildred
was continually running away and whenever her mother wanted her
~he would invariably find her at the sea shore. The child never
started to run away as her mother approached, for she was always so
busily engaged in drawing imaginary figures in the sand; that she was

•

�-

·--;-,
r

unconscious of any one being around. These figures, were, at that
time very grotesque, and meant little to Mildred; but if they could
only have been preserved, she would now be taking her classes there
and pointing out triangles, circles and parallelograms.
From the time she began to talk, Miss Mattoon was the marvel
of all parents. She never talked baby talk, but early in life decided
upon her career, and began by using proper English. Her dress was
never torn or dirty, and she is even known to have thanked her mother for punishing her, on such rare occasions as discipline was required.
Can it be that this teensie-11·eensie tot, sitting before her row of
dolls is Mrs. Spangler? Yes, there can be no doubt about it. "What
are the marks of a weak verb, Gretchen? What you don't know?
-Well look it up for tomorrow. Johnnie can you tell me how the
passive voice is formed ?-About as much information as would fill a
peanut. Next-Next-Next-Next!!!!" Ever since she asked her
dollies these questions on the German grammar, Fraulein Spangler
has always been at it. This practice with her her dolls accounts for
her well-developed vocal power.
Niiss Carrie Dolbee was an unusually precocious infant, at an extremely early age displaying a love for flowers of especially brilliant
colors. One of her favorite occupations as a small girl was playing
with her blocks, building them with mathematical precision into conservatories and filling them with beautiful yellow dandelions and other spring flowers. She would pull up plants to "extract the square
root," but, alas! the roots were round.
Miss Foster was a happy-go-lucky little girl 11·ho always had the
lovelilest times. She was the recognized leader of her crowd and
they always did just as she wished. She always was having accidents
however, like falling down stairs and getting hurt, but 11·ith her pluck
and courage, she survived them all. She was very talented and was
fond of drawing pictures with a stick in the sand. She also liked to
make mud pies and figures out of mud which shows that her artistic
temperment developed early in life.
Miss Ise came to a little house away out on the plains of Kansas. There was great rejoicing in that little house for here was the
scholar of the family. When she was six months old she had her
mother's house work running on a systematic basis. She used to carcarry a Dictionary under her arm and every time she heard a
11·ord she would look it up. "M iss Ise also wrote a cowboy ballads at
the age of five. The longest contained a hundred and sixteen verses.
The feet of the meter of these verses changed rhythmicall y from a
single foot to a fox trot.
L. H. Emmett has always been known for his architectural art.
His first 1\"ork of importance was at the age of two years when he
nailed the eat's tail to the floor with a pin. The remarkable thing
about this \\"as that he did not even pound his fingers or mar the eat's
tail in doing it. This piece of \\"ork was enough to secure him a posi'c ion at L. H. S.

�l\Iiss Nystrom was a precocious child. \Vhen she was three years
old she made her own birthday cake and it was a fine one too. Everyone thought that that was enough for a child of her age to do but
l,J and behold when she reached the age of five, she even made her
own clothes. When she was seven, her mother simply turned the
whole house over to her to manage. Perhaps that is the reason she
manages the Domestic Science school so well now.
It was a week before lVIiss Kenney had attracted any notice. Her
mother found her in the crib tearing out leaves of an old history and
devouring them. After this her father sent for a set of the World's
History. When she was four her mother would dress her up and
send her into the garden. She would take her book and little chair
and sit under the trees all afternoon.
Edna Austin was a beautiful little child but she ,,·as naughty.
One remarkable thing about her was that she always wanted to play
with frogs. Her mother often found her sitting in the yard holding
one and trying to count its legs. Now she often illustrates the difinition of a "Limit" with a little frog story. It is no wonder that she
became a teacher for when she was three years old she ran off and hid
in a big box and when her mother found her she was crying because
~he couldn't say the alphabet backwards.
l\1r. Clare Poland, when a baby, was almost as nice looking as
he is now, but has lengthened considerably since then. He objected
to the pictures in his baby books because they were not geometrically
drawn and the perspective did not "perspect."He was very fond of
making his own playthings and they strangely resembled squares, triangles and "sich like."
And this little girl with the sunbonnet and checkered apron is
busily picking flowers. She has dark eyes and hair and answers to
•hr name of Lola. After picking the flowers, she carefully pulls them
to pieces to determine to what families they belong and the important
points about them. Is it any wonder that, after so many years of
nlaying with flowers, she should know all there is to knO\v about Botany?
l\Iiss Cole made up her mind to be a sewing teacher, when she
was very small; and used to cut out paper dolls all day long, fitting
different patterns to them and sitting them in rows all around the
room, until her mother, coming in at night to put her to bed. found
at least a hundred paper dolls confronting her. Each with a different
designed dress. So much in love \\·as Edith in her work that at night
she could not bear to gi,·e them up, but took all the paper dolls to
bed with her.

��Football
The football season of I 9 I 2 was very successful, although things
looked pretty blue at the beginning. With only one "L" man 'and a
few "scrubs" from the year before, chances looked slim, even for a
ping-pong team. Captain Cowell and Mr. Boltz of the City Y. M.
C. A as coach, 11·orked the green timber into the finished product' in
short order. The boys let the first two games go so they could get
some games scheduled later on in the season. Then they got together and showed what they could do, 11·inning a total of 9 I points
to their opponents 36. The thing that broke their hearts was the
rellow streak of luck which cropped out again this year in the Topeka game, but "revenge is sweet;" 11·e'll get them next year for sure.

�Basketball
Under the Captaincy of Harold Reed and the coaching of Physical Director Boltz of the Y. M. C. A. the H. S. basketball team
of I 9 I 2- I 3, was one of the most successful teams ever produced by
Lawrence High School. Owing to the lack of experienced men at
the first of the season, it looked bad for L. H. S. but through the
ceaseless efforts of Coach Boltz and Captain Reed to make a team
of new men, we soon had a "bunch" of whom L. H. S. students coulcl
well be proud. The timely arrival of Ivan Wilson from Eudora
High School, greatly advanced the strength of the team. We won
the greater per cent of our games and by good scores, and reached
the semi-finals in the State Tournament, when we suffered defeat at
the hands of the fast Reno High School Team. Although we didn't
reach the championship mark, the school is well pleased with the
showing made by the team, knowing that every man always played
his best, whether losing or winning. Next year the team will be led
by Captain-elect Woodman Gibson, and we hope and believe that he
\\"ill !earl the Reel and Black to victory.

Although losing the meets with Wentworth and Manual, Lawrence showed up better than she ever has before against these schools.
This year's team is one of the best teams we have had. l\llay 3rd,
was a· good day for those that couldn't swim, for the water was not
quite d e~p- enough to swim in but just right to "mud-crawl. " Nevertheless· La\vi·ente got on "swimmingly." As the result, a large goodlooking cup is in the trophy case bearing the title of 10th Annual Interscholastic Class A Trophy.
In the Invitation Meet, the fastest and classiest high school meet
in this part of the United States, Lawrence won third place, lVIanual
Training H. S. and Westport H. S. winning first and second respectively. The only first we won was the relay, won by Gibson, Wilbur,
Randall and O 'Leary. It did us world's of good to see those boys
beat Topeka even by the short distance they did. So the season ended with an ever-victorious relay team.
The second team that went to Bonner Springs lVIay I 6, to take
part in the quadrangular meet there, fell in line in the parade jus~ behind Steinmetz and "band" from Tonganoxie.

On Friday night, lVIay 9, an all star cast from the Senior class
staged the heaviest and best play ever presented by any Senior class of Lawrence High School. It was a comedy entitled "A
Scrap of Paper," and although in parts it called for difficult acting,
the bill was fulfilled perfectly by those chosen for the places.
By common consent, the stars of the play were Angie B. l\Iorrow and Harold Lytle. l\1iss l\IIorrow, as "Susanne de Ruseville,"
the diplomat, who, by jler scheming obtained possession of the "Scrap
of Paper" and frustrated the design of "Prosper" to make trouble,
was very charming in her role and acted exceedingly well. Harold
f .ytle's acting as "Prosper" was exceptionally well done and wou ld
have done cred it to a professional. Helen Gallagher played excellently the part of "Louise," the Baron's wife, agitated by the loss of
the scrap of paper. It was extremely hard for the audience to decid e
in which costume Bess Ulrich, as "Mathilde," was prettiest. She
and Cargill Sproull, as "Marius," the young, love-sick boy, acted as
if they were "old timers." Dorothy Angevine in the part of l\Ille.
Clarisse, the nagging maiden sister of Briand, the Naturalist, was exHarold Nottingham was a "natural" naturalist; and
cellent
he and Clarisse acted like typical brother and sister. Donald Harrison, as the "Baron de la Glaciere," was fine and nearly frightened the
audience by his terrible gruff voice. Blanche Simons, as "l\1adam
Dupont," was perfectly natural and brought clown a hearty laugh
several times. One would think from Mary Hodgson's and A rchie
Walter's acting that they were regular "Maggie" and "Jenkins" in
some household in real life. The maid was very amusing in her sauciness toward the housekeeper.
The cast has the distinction of being the first to play in the
Bowersock Theater.

��The Merchant pf Venice
The English departments in some. of the high schools over the
state of Kansas have taken up dramatic work, in connection with plays
that are studied in class. The first presentation of "Merchant of
Venice" was given by Lawrence High School students this year, the
cast being composed of Sophomore girls. This first attempt met with
such decided success that the play will doubtless be presented again
next year.
Under the direction of Miss Jackson and Miss Ise, the play, exCPpting the scenes where Shylock appears, was presented at Fraternal
Aid Hall, April twelfth. The main purpose of the presentation was
to aid in the interpretation of the "lVIerchant of Venice," as a part of
the Sophomore English work,· but it also proved to be a success, as an
amateur performance.
Marie Hotchkiss played the leading part with decided success.
She made a graceful and charming Portia, and interpreted her part
excellently.
:Monona Wise, in the role of Bassanio, did splendio work.
In
her interpretation she showed a complete understandin g of her part
both as Portia's suitor and as Antonio's friend.
Phyllis Dunnett made a winsome Nerissa, an &lt;.I played he r part
decidedly well in all scenes.
Margaret Naismith as Gratiano made a handsome and sprightly
yu uth , and played her part in a most creditable manner.
Helen Wagstaff, as Jessica, made a charming J ewess. and aoapted herself perfectly to her part. Lorenzo, the gallant thief who stole
Jessica from her father was played most creditably by Lulu Pence.
Olive Constant took the part of the grave but generous Antonio
very successfullv. She interpreted her part perfe ct ]~; ·
Dorothy Bell. as the much ::~ffected Prince of Arra\!on, scored a
decided success. The applause she received indicated that the auoicnce fully appreciated her clever work.
Frances Patton. " ~ th e rli£YnifiPd VIorocco, did very good 11·ork.
·M ildred Light. as So 1;mio. ::~lso d'd ~olendid work. She rendered her
lines well, especiallv in the la~t casket scene.
Steohano, the ind&lt;"'iTH"n&lt;"ble 'ervant of Portia, was played by
Louise Broeker. She looked and acted her part to perfPction.
The play was a marked succes&lt;; not onlv dramaticalll', but financially, as it more than pi~id expen,Ps. It is· hoped that it will be presented every year, hereafter, by English students of the Sophomo re
Classes.

�7ne High School Orchestra
The High School Orchestra this year is the first genuine orchestra that the high school has ever had. It was organized and put on
a firm basis by lVIr. C. 0. Brown and after his departure the leader'hip was given to l\Iiss Bertha Ellison, who has worked faithfully
with them. The Orchestra had a repetoire of classical and popular
music and has played at banquets, high school plays and numerous
outside affairs, besides furnishing music for all the chapel programs.
A great part of the success of the Orchestra is clue to Cargill Sproull,
President, who was persevering in his efforts to keep the organization
together. Our most sincere wish is that in the years to come L. H.
S. may continue to have an Orchestra, as good as it has been this
year. The members of the Orchestra arc to be congratulated on their
splendid work.

L. H. S. Student Council
For the first time in the history of Lawrence High School, we
have a Student Council. The Council consists of thirteen members,
chosen from all four classes. The Seniors and Juniors were given
four members to represent their class, the Sophomores three members
and the Freshmen two. The members chosen from the Senior Class
are: Donald Harrison , Rachel Sankee, J can Russell, and Archie
vValters; the Juniors: EdvYard Todd, Ivan Wilson, Robert Robertson
and Grace Powell ; the Sophomores, Eben Mitchell, Phyllis Dunett,
and Charles Randall, and the Freshmen members are, Hazel Stubbs
::tnd Clell Francisco. At the first meeting of the Council. Officers
were elected, Edward Todd, '14, President; Phyllis Dunnet '15, VicePresident, and Archie Walter 'I 3, Secretary. It was also decided at
this meeting that the Council should meet each Tuesday at four
o'clock for the remainder of the school year. One thing which L awrence I-.1 igh School has needed for a long time, in a High School gynlnasium. The Council has drawn up and presented a petition to the
School Board, asking for such repairs and equipments as will fit the
third story of the Manual building for a gymnasium. It is believed
that the request will be granted. Our "Budget" has only one Editor
and one Business lVIanager, and the work is too heavy for a singlr
Editor and Manager. In attempting to lighten the work for next
~·car's "Budget" the Council has voted to have two Busines fllanagers
and two Editors. One Business lVIanager is to supervise the \vork o.f
the "Budget" while the other will be Assistant :M anager. The Assistant fl1anager of the "Budget" will be Manager of the "Annual"
nne! :VIanager of the Budget will be his Assistant. Likewise for the
t11·o Editors. The Council has voted that we arrange for a "Student
Enterprise Ticket," \\'hich Ticket will cost the sum of One Dollar
and will admit the bearer to all Athletic enterprises. Debates and
High School Plays. It will be necessary to sell four hundred of these
tickets to insure these school events and the movement should be well
supported by the Student body. The Student Council! will "push"
all school activities and after it has once been established on a firm
basis, will be indispensible to the school life. It will have a tendency
to create better understanding between Teacher and scholars, and
\\·ill advance the schools standard in every way. Professor Olnev has
the power of absolute veto, but we will all know that he is working
for the best interests of the school and will use his veto power, only
on that which he thinks to be detrimental to High School advancement. Owing to the short length of time in which the Council of
'13 had to work. It was impossible to push any big movement
through, but these instances will serve to show the idea of the Council in regard to "pushing" school activities. Arrangements have been
made for the election of the 19I3-'14 Student Council, and if they
desire, they have the opportunity of doing great things for the Lawrence High School.

�Debate
There were two debates this year in which Lawrence High
School participated, both of which were outside of the State League.
We debated lola High School and Ottawa High School and were defeated by both. However the newness of debating and the general
lack of general attention given it account in a measure for the fact
that Lawrence does not stand as high in debating as in athletics. N evertheless those who participated received some training and knowledge whether they won or not.
The members of the team which met lola were Harold Lytle,
'13: Archie Walters, '13; and Eben JVIitchell, '15. The subject was
Resolved, that it would be to the best interests of the United States
that the Panama Canal should be neutralized rather than fortified.
Lawrence upheld the negative and had a strong argument. Our boys
were not quite as ready in rebuttal as the lola boys who had had three
years literary society experience. The debate was held in lola and
that high school was courteous and hospitable and the boys had nothing but praise for their opponents. Another debate will probably be
held next year and the team insists that lola must be beaten.
A team composed of Lewis Beck, 'I 3; Freel Blaylock, 'I 3 and
Ernest Harrington, '15 met Ottawa High School's team in the city
of that name. Lawrence upheld the affirmative of the question, Resolved, that the United States Government should give financial aid
to ships in foreign commerce on·necl by Americans. Although Prof.
Hardy, coach of five· winning teams at Ottm\·a University, voted for
our boys, the decision \Vas nevertheless against us by one vote. Harington will be back next year to assist in returning the compliment of
a defeat away from home.
It is to be hoped that Lan-rence High School can find some
method whereby debating can become as standard and as popular an
activity as athletics. Training in that line is needed and should be
scientifically provided.

"May 12, 1913. After school. Wrote 'The Zephyrs," which
came into my mind as I sat with my back to the blackboard in room
3, in company 11·ith a fen· students, and glanced on the paper with arrow's speed. Literally an improvisation."-Dairy of lVIiss Ruby

Where the golden sun-flowers gron·,

And sometimes they do blow.

We, the Budget staff, present ·'The Red and Black" to the
public and our fellow students, not as in the highest art and literature
b\lt just as a record of our school life and work. We hope it will be
of interest to the alumni and to the younger classmen who are to carry
on the work of the high school course. · f o the students may it come
as an old friend, to the alumni may it re-echo the good times of their
high school days, that come into our lives but once and to our many
friends may it serve as a token of our appreciation of their co-operation
and sympathetic support. If it pleases you that will be ample remuneration to the staff, as it has been an undertaking of infinite details. When
you have laid aside work and forgotten the cares "that infest t he clay"
and worries that shadow your busy hours-when the flun ks and
studies are forgotten-may this book come as a happy souvenir of
your year's work.

THOSE BLANKETS!
What would Lawrence High School do without l\1 r. Geo rge
Tnnes? It was :VIr. Innes who gave us the holiday, 11·hen the evervictorious team of 1910 brought us fame. lt was l\tir. Innes who
gave us the money to have basket ball revived in high school. A nd
now it is l\IIr. Innes who presents the foot ball boys with the much
needed blankets. He has always been ready to respond to the needs
of the school and we thank him heartily for his splend id gift. l\lay
he I ive l'ong and prosper!

FAREWELL!
farewell! A word that makes us l inger, yet, farewell. Amid
:1ll the rejoicing of graduation there sounds another note. lt is that
of sadness as 11·e realize our four years in .L. H. S. has come to an
end; that we shall no longer climb the old familiar steps and he
g reeted by the smiling faces of "Pap" and our teachers, 11·ho reign
suprCime. We, Seniors, have passed four years here, probably the
happiest years we shall ever know, passing through the stages of the
ve rdant Freshman, the presumptious Sopohomore, the arrogant Junior
:tnd the conceited Senior, and now we each one take our separate
ways, no longer united. All misunderstandings will be forgotten and
only good wishes for each individual will prevail. To the classes that
come after us we wish honor and prosperity.

"l\IIay you each live long and prosper
To yourselves may you be true,
Then around the class will gather
All the honor that's her clue .
Though perhaps we part foreve r
Let us hope to meet again
Good bve then we shall not bid \'OU
Let it be.: "Auf Wieder Sehen." .

I am sure all L. H. S. students will admit that La1nence High
Sd1ool has more class and school spirit than any other school they ever
heard of. On that very account we have so much fun at our parties
and social affairs that are given during our school years.
I know that no one ever had a lovl ier Junior Prom than the
one the Juniors gave to the Seniors this year. I kno1~· it will never
be forgotten by any of the class of '13. The facu lty party given for
the Sen iors was also a g rand occasion. Every thing looked so pretty
eel and everyone was so jolly and sociable. Really it was hard to distinguish the teachers from students in reference to t he sociability.
The class parties are so much fun too and each class has given
one this year a nd some classes have given two and I know evcryonr
well enj oyed the br~akfast that the Senior girls gave the Senior boys
and also, the picnic that the boys gave the girls.
And the picnics t hat the C hem ist ry and Art classes give. Aren't
tlwy the most fun? Everybody flocks in order to get to go to them.
T he lovely banquets that the Domestic Science classes give are
delightful too. I am sure the girls are all jealous of the boys 11·ho
get to go and I think the girls will have to start a basketball team of
their own. :Maybe the Domestic Science classes will give a banquet
for them then.
On t he " ·hole, I don't know of an )' other people that have a better time than w e students of Lawrence High School.

KING GORRILL
King Gorrill as the L. H. S. Budget once said,
Was some sporty guy and had the big head.
He was a football player and every one knew
When he got that pigskin he certainly flew.
He went with the ladies who were always fair,
And made him hold his head in the air.
One clay when he was feeling a trifle bit happy
He met a girl who made him go daffy.
He made a elate about three times a week,
And if you met him on the street do you think he
would speak ?
No, he would pass you by and never say boo,
Because it was only just common you.
But there will come a time and close to the present day,
When every one will be judged in the same old way.
And then he will not get off as good as he should ,
If he had treated the common guy as well as he _could.

. BASE BALL
For the first time in several years, Lawrence High School can
boast of a Baseball team, and a good one. The team has played six
games this year, and lost only one. Owing to the roor Sl'ppon given
the baseball team by the students, it was impossible to arrange a very
good schedule for them. However the team has proven that it is
worthy of support and as it is one of the cleanest games in High
School Athletics, it is hoped that it will be better supported in the future. The team this year will probably be awarded "L's" for their
services. This should create a new interest in baseball and should
have a tendency to make its growth to a permanent school athletic activ!ty. In the last game with Eudora, the score was tied at the end
of the ninth inning, standing 6-6. In the tenth inning Eudora failed
to score and Lawrence run across for the seventh tally, winning the
17ame. The battery for this game was Ernest Uhrlaub and Frank
Tse.
The pitchers performing for the season are E . Uhrlaub,
H. Glahn, A. Lawrence, C. Randall, and R. Woodward. The lineup for the greater part of the games were as follows: Ise 1st base,
Dunkley znd base, R. Uhrlaub 3rd base, E. Harrington catcher,
Birch right fielder, Gress shortstop, Woodward center fielder and
ritcher, Randall left field and Gregory center field.

He Was Tardy.
Last night I lay a sleeping,
And I had a dream so rarer stood in Pap's little office,
Beside the big deEk there.
And :' e was giving me a lecture
'Bout comin' late to class,
And ha,·in ' the effrontery
For a straight rermit to ask.
ChorTS :
Ob Tardy man, Oh Tardy man,
Take to your heels and :flee;
Yes Tardy man, dear tardy man,
For Pap's going to land on thee.
An d then he said he'd fix me,
So l~c took out his little pad
And wrote a Great Big Plain Tardy.
Gollv! but he was mad'' SeYe.~ty late this wee!c'' said he,
"And :' ere it ain't half g·one;
I wonder wbat the Supt. 'll say,
Ycr it's more th;o~n all t he town."

Chorus:
And tben he turned to the death angel,
'''Miss E. E. K.,'' said he,
''Call up this fellow's mamma,
And ask why he 's tardee. ''
And once again tl'e scene was cbanged,
And I had another dose shaYe;
As I entered the history teacher's
room,
And to her the permit gaYeSbe looked up at me f rowningly,
'l'h~n the sentence came :
"Commit eighty lines of 8hakespere
About t he shrew thev tamed.''
Chorus:·
Oh Tardy man, Oh Tardy man,
Take to your heels and :flee,
Yes Tardy man, Yes Tardy man,
Or Mi55 Woods \\'ill land on thee.
