H. S. OR IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE Harken unto me, oh gentle reader, and I shall tell you a story. Be it said that all who profess and call themselves realists should discontinue reading my missive at this point for I shall draw upon your imagination to produce this-my extravaganza. Imagine, if you can, a perfect day. It is morning. You are in the arms of Morpheus. As usual the old faithful Westclox sounds its alarm. Strangely enough this raucous sound has a soothing effect upon you and, without the usual thoughts of premeditated murder, you arise! Also your clothes are just where you want them and, when you descend, your favorite breakfast, complete with hot biscuits and flap- jacks, awaits your consumption. Even little brother seems almost human as he graciously permits you to read the fabulous exploits of Superman, before he does. Singing merrily to yourself you continue your happy way to school feeling a new reborn love for nature and fheaven help us!J your teachers. Arriving you find that you have not forgotten your locker key and that the American History you had hoped was lost, actually is. Also, when, during your play- ful experimentations with the fire hose, you proceed to flood the basement, dear old Charley pats you on the back, while chuckling and says: Think nothing of it, son. I was young once myself. Furthermore you arrive at section on time and are able to study for a full fifteen minutes without once being disturbed. When you come to your first hour American History and Miss Irwin disturbs your meditations on Einstein's theory with the question: How many men were killed in the Civil War? you immediately answer, 6,451,373, because that was the number of your Irish sweepstakes ticket. And, while passing from the Manual Arts to the main building, the freshies actually keep on the right side of the walk and you disable only two or three. In English the entire class remains awake during a spirited discussion upon the Ways and Means of Eliminating Smokey Chimneys, while third hour study hall seems like seventh heaven with everyone tiptoeing .around and speaking only when granted permission by Miss Fabyan, who spends the entire period pondering over the easiest method of giving the Student Council complete control of all school activities. At noon you are invited by no less than three fellow inmates to ride home with them in what they laughingly call their cars. At dinner you find to your pleasure that the old man has decided to let you have the family bus after all and you will be able to attend that Saturday night party. Returning to school you win six candy-bars on the punch at the Amaryllis and are able to get out with two whole ones and half of another. Back in section you happily fail to receive that dreaded ultimatum from the office, afterwards learning that the paperwad actually missed Mr. Rice by a good inch and a half. In Chemistry there is such complete silence that you are fully able to enjoy the educational film being shown which is entitled, not How Rayon Is Prepared, but chapter 111 of The Lone Ranger. And too, you succeed in performing all your ex- periments successfully during sixth hour lab., without even denting a test tube. Finally you succeed in conveniently missing seventh hour study' hall and are able to make it to the nearest drug store by four o'clock for your Dr. Pepper. This is merely my idea of a perfect day at C. H. S., but I am sure that no day will ever be a perfect day until guys like me stop writing stuff like this about im- possible subjects like that. --LARRY FLANIGAN. 5 il 'UA y-i fx K , LNNII NIINIININS 'IINII NIIN HAPPY NIINIINES 'IINII NIIN LUNG MINUTES J.

Nevertheless we have done many things. A few parties have been given and we appeared in two convocation programs. In musical organizations the class of '40 has played a large part. Out of 14 principal parts in the operetta 10 are seniors and in most of the smaller ensembles the seniors predominate. In basketball three of the varsity were of this class, and the debate team is composed of three. A senior was given the honor of Carthaginian queen.

SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES In the fall of 1938 the class of 1942 made its entrance into Carthage High School. We, even as our predecessors, had our difficulties in adjusting ourselves to high school life, but through stubborn persistence we gained the respect of our schoolmates. We had a championship basketball team, having won the Junior High tournament, and we excelled in other sports and activities. In this, our second year, we are indicating the goal we mean to attain as seniors. We have been very active in all organizationsg many of the officers of the Spanish club were Sophomores. Some of the members of our class have great musical talent and participated in the musical organizations. Four members of the Sophomore class had leading roles in the operetta. Nine members of the football squad, and seven mem- bers of the basketball squad were Sophomores. Scholastically the Sophomore class ranked high. Miss Arria Murto was sponsor of the class.

Two delegates from each Freshman section were chosen, and they in turn nomi- nated the class officers. Direct election by ballot was then held.

Nine games, in- cluding two non-conference games, were played. It was an altogether successful season for the Tigers as they chalked up six wins against three losses. The highlight of the season came when the Tigers overcame an old jinx to beat Joplin for the first time in fourteen years. In recognition of this victory the entire squad journeyed to Columbia on November 18 to see Oklahoma and Missouri play the most important game of the middle west. Because of his stellar playing throughout his entire high school career, Joe Morrow was elected captain of the 1939 squad. He was also, together with Tom Heisten and Bill Baker, chosen by the players of the Big Eight to a mythical all-star team. Due to the graduation of some of the star players of this year's eleven, the team will be considerably weakened, but with a wealth of reserve power in this year's sophomores and juniors, able replacements are not lacking.

Out of a total of 21 games they dropped only five. Two of these were to Joplin, one to Monett, one to Camdenton, and one to St. Louis McBride, state champions for 1940. Due to an off night at Monett, the Tigers lost the Big Eight title for 1940. How- ever, this was their only conference defeat, and they managed to take second honors. Prospects for next year would seem unusually bright inasmuch as only four mem- bers of this year's team will be lost by graduation. These players are Heisten, Burnett, McFadden, and Masters.

TEAM The Carthage B squad also had an exceedingly successful year. They lost no games in the conference and thereby gained another championship for the Tigers for the season just completed. The B squad did not enter any tournaments this year and played only 11 games, two of which they lost to Joplin. Judging from the wealth of material exhibited by the Tiger reserve squad, C. H. S. will be furnished with competent replacements for the positions vacated by the senior members of the vicinity who graduate this year. i 4 Dec. 7.-The Glee Clubs participated in the State Clinic at Joplin and received many compliments. l ,i -A Dec 8 The assembly this morning was enlivened by moving pictures of the Thanksgiving day game TOURNAMENTS The one defeat to Monett and one of those to Joplin were more than avenged dur- ing the Tigers' invitational tournament. The Cubs were defeated in the semi-finals and the Eagles, after two overtime periods, in the finals. From this tournament the Tigers journeyed to Joplin for the state regional tour- nament. There they won every game by large scores including the finals in which they beat Joplin, state champions of 1930, for the second time this year. By winning this tournament, this year's squad became the first to represent Carthage in the state tournament. After a two weeks' rest Carthage again went to Joplin where they met Rockhurst of Kansas City in their opening game of the state cage battle. Rockhurst proved no match for the inspired Tigers who easily won, 35 to 18. For their second round they drew McBride of St. Louis and lost, 28 to 30, after playing two extra periods. How- ever they seemed to hit their winning stride again and defeated St. Joseph Central, 28 to 31, to cap third place honors. Co-captains, Tom Heisten and Gene Burnett, were both selected for positions on all-state teams. Heisten was elected captain and forward of the first five and Burnett, guard of the second five.

There seemed to be no objections to vacation THE RICHARD WEBSTER Business Manager The Carthaginian has been published continuously since it was begun in 1912 by Miss Esther Pratt. The present issue is the twenty-eighth of the series. The theme of the 1940 year-book is Time, and an effort has been made to describe, in word and picture, the activities that keep a student busy throughout that would represent all phases of school life, the annual sponsored a snapshot contest. An All-School Frolic was given by the staff early in December and Miss Iris Ralston was chosen Queen of the Carthaginian by popular vote. Her attendants were Nancy Jones and Constance Lauderdale. Following a grand march, officers of the R. O. T. C. formed an arch of sabers through which the queen and her attendants were escorted to the throne. After the coronation by Bill Frederick, the editor, the queen presided over the remainder of the frolic. With the combined efforts of the staff, the faculty, committee, and the patrons, this record of life in the Carthage High School for the year 1939-1940 has been prepared.

It promotes worthy leadership and encourages the develop- ment of character in the pupils of Carthage High School. Candidates eligible to election in the chapter must stand in the first third of their respective classes in scholarship. Not more than fifteen per cent of the senior class nor five per cent of the junior class may nold membership. The induction of new members into the society took place March 15 at a special assembly program for that purpose. This ceremony has been used since the organi- zation of the chapter in 1931. In 1935 this ceremony was made the official induction service of the society. . The organization is one which endeavors to live up to its ideals. The ideals are embodied largely in the pledge- I pledge myself to uphold the high purposes of this society to which I have been elected, striving in every way by word and deed to make its ideals the ideals of my school. The motto of the National Honor Society is, Noblesse Oblige , the colors, White and Gold, the flower, Marguerite. The officers of the National Honor Society were Bill Frederick, president, Mary Richardson, vice president, Ruth Brizendine, secretary, Jacqueline Turner, reporter, Mrs. Blanche Fabyan, sponsor. ORCHESTRA The High School Orchestra was composed of thirty-four boys and girls and played for such functions as: High school operetta, National Honor Society, yearly high school concert, and Joplin Junior College Music Festival. Although the activities of this group appear to be limited if compared with other musical organizations, the value of the orchestra must not be minimized. It is here that students gain an understanding and appreciation of fine instrumental music not gained in other groups. BAND The Carthage High School Band has participated in many festivals, contests and programs throughout this year. Various towns visited and programs given are as follows: Newton County Fair, held in Neosho, Mo., early this fall, Pittsburg Coal Festi- val, Joplin and Carthage football game on Armistice day, Springfield Santa Claus Parade which is an annual affair, Carthage Santa Claus parade, Miami, Okla., Parade and Spring Festival, Joplin Junior College Music Festival, Convocation Program, and the yearly high school band concert, held in conjunction with the High School Orchestra. ' Early this fall 65 new wool uniforms were purchased for the band, marking the end of a long attempt to provide suitable uniforms for this organization. The uni- forms are Yale blue trimmed with white braid and citation cord, carrying out the color scheme of the Carthage High School. if Feb 13.-The county oratorteal contest was held at Carthage.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council was organized in the spring of 1939, the National Honor Society forming the nucleus. The five junior members remaining from last year's council traveled to Ponca City, Oklahoma, to participate in the Twelfth Annual Meeting of Federation of Student Councils of the Central States. Many educational and help- ful suggestions were brought home. This year's council has been given over to funda- mental projects with the hope that they may develop into something that will benefit the student body. The purpose of this organization is to promote the welfare of the student body, to provide for co-operation and participation in management of school affairs, to maintain and develop school spirit, to make an effort to educate the students to choose intelligent leaders, to provide a forum for discussion of questions of interest. The' officers of the Student Council were: President, Bill Frederick, vice presi- dent, Lois Tonjesg secretary, Rufus Guinng treasurer, Betty Lee Robertsg reporter, Jackie Turner.
