S. dedicates to the World-to life, one hundred and nine young men and Women, destined to take up their share of the World's battles and to help carve out the portion of history allotted their generation. The graduating class of this year has a school record of which it may be proud. During these twelve years of preparation, the class as a unit has been a credit not only to its members, but to the school itself. Since these students first entered high school, they have taken an active part in all school activities-athletics, music, dramatics-and have upheld an un- usually high scholastic standard. Charles Moser, President for six consecutive years, has proved himself loyal and capable in every situation, and the class has given him its coop- eration and respect. The executive committee each year has functioned efficiently. and the class as a whole has Worked in harmony with very little factional spirit. One distinctive characteristic of the class of '36 is the fact that the major- ity of its members are boys: 59 boys and 50 girls will graduate this year. Whether or not this fact is due to the scarcity of employment for the per- centage of young men who leave school to go to Work, cannot be readily determined, but these boys will probably benefit in the long run for the years spent in High School. fn' The 1936 carsser 27 CHARLES MOSER, President I l Dutch is a splendid leader both in athletics and executive ability. He has been president of his class for six years, and is an all around good fellow. ROBERT STEPP, Vice-President Bob has a brilliant future before him in the field of music and oratory. He is a willing aid in all schoolactivities, and will be greaty missed after graduation.

MISS CHAPMAN As we are now drawing near the close of our third year in High School we realize that we have not always been the leaders in school work and extra curricular activities Two years ago when we laid anchor in the new and clean waters of the river High School we were dubious as to the direction and destination officer and Elton Rickerson as navigator, all of whom faithfully did their part and safely steered us through the storms into the harbor. The crew, com- posed of able but inexperienced men, elected Marie Klein as the Class Queen. At the beginning of the second voyage, Walter Moore stood at the helm with Co Beth Smithpeter and Elton Ftickerson at his side to advise during the expedition Leta lacobs was the class candidate for Queen and three girls and four boys were elected to serve on the respective pep squads. Now as our third voyage is about to end, we feel as though our cargos have increased in quantity and quality. At the end of the first semester twelve Iunior names appeared on the Honor Boll, and six of the Iunior boys lettered in foot ball Three very important occasions have been held on the deck of the good ship luniors l935 36 The lunior play He Couldn't Take lt, due to the outstanding efforts of the Sponsor Miss Nancy L. Chapman, the cast and the entire class was a success financially and dramatically. The thirtieth volume of the log, which represents the untiring and worth while efforts of a well selected crew will be presented to the school at the annual lunior Assembly And as our good ship nears the harbour, the Iunior-Senior banquet, a much looked forward to affair in the lives of luniors and Seniors, becomes visible along the horizon. At that time our number will be increased two hundred by the Seniors, the Faculty, and the Board of Education.

The Freshman Class of the 1935-36 lunior and Senior High School began the first semester with a total enrollment of 154 pupils. This was an increase of about twenty-eight percent over last year and was due largely to the pupils from the rural districts. This group from the rural schools added much valuable talent to the class, and We saw fit to elect one of their number as our class president. The class organized and elected the following officers: President, Ben Byrdp Vice-President, Max Williams: Secretary-Treasurer, Ronald Somer- villeg and Miss Cranmer, Sponsor. The class attained a high scholastic standing throughout the year with an average of eighteen on the E and S Honor Roll Two members of the class Who did exceptionally Well in athletics were Max Williams and Wayne Sexton Both were on the Sen or High basketball squad This class not only stands for high scholastic standings and athletic achievements but for school spirit and class co operation as Well Thursday evening lanuary 23 1936 the Freshmen History Classes held a formal banquet at the Elm Street Methodist Church A very interesting program was given by various members of the class A number of the faculty members attended and the greater percent of the Freshmen Class The Class held its annual party in March ln the Cafeteria of the High School building Several members of the faculty and most of the class were present A very interesting program Was given after which all enioyed a social evening of games Helen Anne Grace and Ronald Somerville were chosen as Cresset Queen and King of the Freshmen Class D 1 q-7?

WANDA LEA DARR Seventh Grade and the High School building terrified us at first but later we found interesting activities. A Book Club was organized in English. Programs are given each month. A paper is published consisting oi Current Events, personals, society, jokes, sport page, cartoons, advertisements, and even a Believe it or Not page. At Christmas time, menu covers were made and sent to the U. S. S., Memphis. Many of the students received ina teresting letters, thanking them for the covers. A letter from the Seventh Grade of Alba, Texas was received and answered. The Seventh Grade helped with a Iunior-High Pep assembly and a Thanksgiving assembly. Devotional programs are held every Wednesday in the home rooms. Our students are in the Drum Corps, Glee Club, lunior- High Band and a few in Senior Band. We have two Cheer Leaders, Martha Ann Steen and Torn Campbell. Twelve students were on the Honor Roll for the Second Quarter and eleven were on the Honor Roll for the First Semester.

As a result ot rating first in the state contest held l at Columbia, Missouri in l935, the organization is entitled to attend the National Band Contest to be held at Cleveland, Ohio this year. With this thought in mind, the ninety members have been practicing an hour a day in addition to the regular rehearsal. In April, l935 the Band attended the annual district contest held at Maryville, and by winning first place was given the right to participate in the state contest held a few weeks later at Columbia, where it was the only Class B Band to receive Honor Rating No. l. The numbers prepared for these contests were Prelude To Faust by Gounod and the selected number, Don Quix- ote by Safransh. Q! V The Band, in order to be prepared for the State Fair contest in August, returned after a two weeks vaca- tion to resume practice which continued until after the State Fair. In this contest the Band played the above numbers in competition with both class A and B Schools and received the highest rating. Since the Band made itself eligible to the National Contest last year, it will not be required to enter the state or district contests this year, however, the Band will enter Class A, providing that the necessary instru- ments are provided. lf the Band should make a good showing in Class A it will have nearly a month to prepare for National. Throughout the winter the Band Mother's Organiza tion has been sponsoring a Major Bowes' Amateur Hour from which the proceeds will be used for the benefit of the Band.

S TANLEY SHAW The Senior Orchestra composed of fifty pieces has a promising out- look ior a successful and interest- ing program. It consists of several members of the last year's organi- zation. The first portion of this year the orchestra has been devoted to the practice of string instruments. The brass and Woodwind instruments Will be added in time to secure the desired balance. Last spring the Orchestra entered the district con- test at Maryville, Winning the highest rating given, thus making them eligible to the contest held at Col- umbia, where they were the only class B Orchestra receiving honor rating I. This made them eligible im the national contest. In both these contests the fol- lowing numbers were played: The first and third movements of Mozart's Suite. In addition to the regular schedule the orchestra, as part of the musical organization, will be hosts and also enter the Federated Musicians club this spring. As the Orchestra has a perfect instrumentation, it is in better condition this year than ever before. lt will probably enter in Class A contest at Columbia this spring, playing the required number, Youth Coura- geous by George Dasch, and as their selected num- ber a movement from Beethoven's First Symphony.

The purpose of the Club is to have a better understanding of drama and play production. The following of ficers were elected for the year: loyce lohnston, Presidentp Co-Beth Smithpeter, Vice-President, Margaret Brady, Secretary, and Leta lacobs, Treasurer. Much has been learned in the study of make-up, cos- tuming, and stage setting. Training in directing plays and learning the duties of the production staffs have also been a part of the program. One of the major projects of the club is the verse- speaking choir, composed of the entire Drama Club. The choir has appeared not only before the high school in assembly, but has been featured for town audiences. Perhaps the best liked number which has been given is The Congo, by Vachel Lindsey.

The success of a play depends greatly upon the harmony among the cast, the sponsor, and the entire class. The Iunior Class of 1935-36 in the presentation of He Couldn't Take It exhibited an unusually fine spirit of loyalty, and there existed a strong, human rela- tionship between the cast and sponsor that was indeed commendable. He Couldn't Take lt, a three act farce by Austin Goetz, Was supported by a cast of thirteen, each widely different in his characteristics. The costume and make- up of each individual was not overdone, but was ap- propriate and suitable. The success of the play is credited to the ability and effort of the sponsor, Miss Nancy L. Chapman, to the cast, the committee, and every member of the class. The Way in which the entire school supported the production was greatly appreciated and in a large measure insured the financial and dramatic success of the play.

It has about six hundred sub- scribers. Exchanges are received from all parts of the United States and from Honolulu. The GABBLER is a member of the Missouri ln- terscholastic Press Association and the National Press Association. Last year it placed third in the statebcontest at Columbia. The paper is a four-colurnn, six page edition. This size Was established four years ago. This year the staff is com- posed of some very clever Writers. Due to the systematic routine established, no one member of the staff has an excess of Work to do. At the beginning of the year the Constitution-Tribune printing of- fice, which has printed the paper for a number of years, again took the contract, but was forced to discontinue this service when their Work became too heavy. The Artcraft Printing Company then took over the printing of the Gabbler. After the second edition a system was worked out, and the publishing of the Gabbler has gone along as smoothly as before. ' The news column, What's going on in other schools, was started this year. It has proved to be a very interesting column as it informs the students of the happenings in other schools. The factulty advisers are Miss Norville and Mr. Theilrnann. The 1936 CRESSET CRESSET Editors V MAX FORDYCE BARBARA RHOADES Art Editors MELBA KALKINS ESTHER MORAINE Iunior High Editors MARIORIEV CRANMER FRANCES McCARTHY Organization Editor GENE LAMB Typist Business Managers MARGARET BRADY ALICE RANDALL Senior High Editors DORRIS TO DOHN LETA IACOBS Feature Editor VIVIAN MCCREARY Athletic Editor CLARENCE BOEHNER LUCILE DUNSER With this, the thirtieth volume of the CRESSET, the staff hopes that it has profited by the ex- perience of like organizations that have gone before. Each of those staffs imparted to its CRESSET a distinctive style of its own, and we have endeavored to perfect for this book an artistic theme that will stand out in your mem- ory. As a theme for an annual, ships have been badly neglected and we have tried this year to give to our publication a reflection of sea life and sailing ships. Ships as a mode of transportation have played a great part in the advancement of the world. The science of ship building progressed very little from the time of the first log raft, until the Egyptians and the Phoenicions became the greatest traders of the then known world. After the Roman slave galleys came the small barks that roamed the Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic ocean off the coast of Europe. Ap- proaching the tenth century, the Norsemen and the Danes became the scourge of Europe with their raids upon the rich cities and farming lands of western Europe. From the thirteenth century, the merchant ships of southern European countries penetrated the Orient, and bef came more and more curious about the great sea that extended into the unknown west. Finally a courageous explorer, 'Christopher Colum- bus, sailed into that uncharted sea and discovered islands belong- ing to the North American continent. With the steady advancement of exploration, the rich countries of the world became settled and united. And now. as the times advance and great ocean liners cross the Atlantic in five or six days, the picturesque sailing ship is sinking into oblivion: the sail and mast replaced by oil and steam. The Cresset staff is divided into nine departments with fourteen people in all. Since the first volume of the Cresset, the publication has been the responsibility of the Iunior classy the Seniors publishing the Gabbler. Cresset Work starts soon after the opening of schoolg and although there is always work to do, there are rush seasons in December and in February and March. Every spring the faculty plans an entertainment to help with the expenses of the Cresset, which is mainly supported by advertising. The staff extends to the faculty and student body grateful thanks for their splendid cooperation in this undertaking.

M AIBELLE DRUMM Vice-President ..... Secretary-Treasurer . . 000 The purpose of the Pub- lic Speaking Club is to teach its members to speak before audiences and to converse with others in an interesting and' entertaining manner. We have learned to do these things by giving pro- grams and entertainments outside of school and by having round table discussions. The spoken word has always been man's most potent means of communicating ideas. The hiss of the cave man expressed his emotions. The jargon of the cannibal king swayed his followers. The harangue of the lndian chief decided the fate of the frontier villages. The voice of the ancient prophets brought whole nations to their knees in sackcloth and ashes in supplication to an angry lehovah. Moses employed an orator, Aaran, his brother, to speak to the people of lsrael that he might lead them. Eloquence and leadership are synonym- ous. The orator has it within his power to ...........ROBERT STEPP . . . . . .CO-BETH SMITHPETER stir mobs to violence and to quell their outrages. The fire of eloquence catches the combustible spirit of a howling rabble and causes its members to charge with naked hands a line of cold steel bayonetsg or flames of eloquence leaping from the tongue of an able orator may consume the very agitation of their restless animation. Brutus appealed but Mark Antony hurled a whirlwind of passion into the midst ofthe same mob and set it in action against its own hero. Mirabeau spoke to the populace and they made a battering ram of human flesh and beat down the iron gates of the Bastille. ' The power of oratory has raised armies, the power of oratory has bent and broken nations, it has built republics. The power of oratory has moulded governments, spread religions, and changed maps. i Eloquence is powerful and the need for orators is great. The conquests of oratory are numerous and wonderful, but still there is much more for us to accomplish by oratory.

This year each club has studied a book about Spain and two chap- ters were reviewed at the meetings. The first year class took, 4'Four Months Afoot in Spain, by Franck, and the second year class, So You're Going to Spain, by Laughton. Cn September 27, 1935, the annual ini- tiation of the First Year members into the Spanish Club was held in the Cafeteria of the High School. Following the initiation, dancing and refreshments were enjoyed.

MARY LUCY HAFFORD Once a month the pupils of the first year Latin class aside their books and into a meeting planned themselves. They have elected officers according to the plan of the early Roman Government and these offi- cers take complete charge of the meetings. The purpose of these meetings is to arouse the interest of the pupils in finding out more about the early Roman life, habits, schools, literature, art, communication and modes of transportation. The meetings have been looked forward to with a great deal of interest, and the students all take part in them. The first meeting was held December 9, and the subject of the program was Roman Amusements. Talks were given, about Chariot races, gladiatorial fights, Olympic games, Roman theaters and Roman baths. A piano solo was also given. The second meeting, held on january l5, had as the subject for discussion, myths and legends. An interesting talk on myths was given by junior Linville, after which Howard Cox talked on l-loratius. The third meeting, on February lO, dis- cussed Roman Art. A talk on that subject was handled nicely by Mayfred Bailey. This was followed by a piano solo by Vir- ginia Sallee and although several members did not prepare their talks a number of read- ings were volunteered. - Later, meetings were held on Education, Modes of Travel and Dress. The talks at these meetings were received with interest. The class had several ,parties throughout the year, and at Christmas time, they and the Second Year Division went together as one party. The First Year class brought Miss l-lafford a large, handmade Makeup Box, while the Second Year Class brought a cut glass sandwich plate.

This purpose has been fully carried out each year. Again this year we were very fortunate in having Miss Hafford, our Latin teacher, as our Sponsor. Our Club was divided into two divisions: the division of the First Year Latin Class, and the division of the Second Year Latin Class. Meetings of the divisions were held sep- arately with the division of the Second Year Latin Class taking one class period out of each month for a meeting. Each member of the Second Year Latin Club was presented with a printed leaflet containing the programs for the year, with each person considering it his duty to help in order to make the program successful. The programs, presented to the Club by Mrs. E. W. Daily, were greatly appreciated by the members. Roman Poets, Law, Music, Festivals, and Historic Paintings- were studied during the year with much interest. Cn December 18th, the annual Christmas party was held in the school building. At this gathering of the F irst, and Second Year Latin students, the latter received enjoy- ment in initiating the First Year students. Games were played during the evening with much merriment. Delicious refresh- ments were served after which small gifts were distributed from a carefully and beau- tifully decorated tree. Several faculty mem- bers were present. During the year many other parties and activities were enjoyed. At one of the football games hot dogs, candy, and chewing gum were sold to help pay for the Cresset picture. The proceeds of the sale were divided with the First Year Club, and thus only a small sum was left for each club to pay. 68 The 1936 CRESSET HOME ECONOMICS CLUB First Year Officers , President ....... ...................... ......

Iohn Bowles won more than fifty dollars at the State Fair of l935 with his sheep and hogs. Most of the students attended the Amer- ican Royal of l935. Iack Austin, Howard Rhinehart, Iohn Bowles, Claudie Parrish, and Elton lones received free passes from the Milwaukee railroad. They received the passes for the fine work they did in Agri- culture. There are more than seventy-five projects in progress and last year the boys sold over eight thousand dollars worth of stock and grain. It 14, '.I i it , t , tl l iii.

The member- ship is composed of seven Seniors, five Iuniors, and three Sophomores, chosen by thepopular vote of their respective classes. Gay, friendly, always willing to lend a helping hand these fifteen girls put forth every effort to stimulate pep, interest, and cooperation in school activities. Although the organization's major aim is pep, scholarship is not neglected. Only girls having M+ average or better are eligi- ble to become members. Eleven Chillettes attained the honor of having their names appear on the first semester honor roll. During the past school year the Chillettes have presented numerous assemblies. On one occasion they brought Mother Goose and all her children, from Mistress Muffet to Humpty Dumpty, to the assembly and each one presented his or her idea in rhyme of why he thought Chillicothe would be victorious in the forthcoming game. The squad stops at nothing to help the team. They actually kidnapped Miss Victory and married her to Mr. Chillicothe just in case that all might not go well during the even- ing. At the game between Brookfield. and Chillicothe each girl donned her top hat, picked up her cane, and went into her dance which ended by the shooting of Mr. Brook- field. Two outstanding social events of the school year were the party given for the basket ball team by the Chillettes, and a dance in the spring honoring the newly elected members. The Chillettes and their sponsor, Miss Mil- ler wish to thank the student body for the spirit in which the various programs and assemblies of the organization -have been received. Next year the Chillettes will be back as gay and friendly as ever, with a firm resolu- tion for a bigger and better year. The l936 CRESSET H , ,. CHILLLPEPPERS OFFICERS President ....... ........

At the beginning of the school term, Ioe Boehner was elected President: Billy Coul- ter, Vice-President, and Robert Stepp, Sec- retary-Treasurer. The organization is com- posed of fifteen members who must have a satisfactory scholastic standing. There are six seniors: Ioe Boehner, Billy Coulter, Paul Stoner, Robert Stepp, Bill Merriman, and lack Reynolds: four Iuniors: Vincent Moore, Bob Nothnagel, Iean Iohnson, and Gene Lambg and three Sophomores: Wendell Shannon, Boone Shaw, and Sam Harris. The Chilli-Peppers have given two very clever assemblies this year. The first was a surgical operation on a member of the opposing team, using all the tools and im- plements that could be found in the lndus- trial Arts Department. In the second assem- bly an arrangement Was made of the one time popular song, Music Goes Around and Round. This was done by changing the Words in order to create pep for that par- ticular game. To make the song more effec- tive, two of the members, lack Reynolds and Bob Stepp, made a trumpet thirty-four feet long, valves nine feet long, with a bell six feet high. This large reproduction was pinned to the front curtain. The three valves represented the coach, the valve controlling athleticsg the captain, the controlling valve of the team, and a cheer leader, controlling the valve of pep for the entire student body. 72 The l936 CBESSET INDUSTRIAL ARTS Instructor . . At the beginning of the school year l935-36 a new subject, Mechanical Draw- ing, was added to the school curriculum with Mr. Athol Baily as instructor. The sub- ject is of great interest to the many who are taking it. Mechanical Drawing is known as a uni- versal language. The classes first started by making free hand drawings and estimat- ing the distances. Then the instruments, consisting of 300 and 600 triangles, T-square, scale, curve, and drawing set made of Ger- man silver were introduced. At that time the students who had drawn thirty or more plates were allowed to start inking their plates, or rather, drawing the plates in pen- cil first and then going over them with ink- ing instruments. lsometric drawing, the next step, is showing the whole' of an object in one view, whether the part can be seen from the front or not. . . . . . ATI-IOL BAILY The subject acts as a base or foundation for any student who wants to become a draftsman, architect, or designer. lt quick- ens the thinking ability and trains the mind in terms of structure and planning. The lndustrial Art Class was organizedin the year l935 by the instructor, Mr. Baily. This class was organized not only for the purpose of teaching the students this art, but also to teach them to cooperate and func- tion together. - The class has shown remarkable progress and the students have not thought this a dull subject which must be taken, but they have looked at it as a class of enjoyment as well as of educational value. The project made by these pupils will be a lifetime remem- brance, which in later years will give them great pride to present as an article made in this class. The students of this department who are not Seniors are now looking forward to next year when they will be able to take up the advanced side of this subject.

Scott, the first team won nine games and lost eight. 1 This fall five towns in north Missouri organized a con- ference, beginning this year with the basketball sea- son. The name of this conference is the North Central Missouri Conference and the towns are: Trenton, Milan, Princeton, Marceline, and Chillicothe. In a double- robin series of games Trenton Won first place winning all of their games. Chillicothe won second place win- ning five games and losing three. Milan took third place, Princeton placed fourth, and Marceline ranked fifth. These same teams will compete for the conference Championship this spring in track, tennis, and golf, and next fall in football. Late in February, P. K. Scott entered the team in the St. Ioseph Regional Tournament. The first game was played with Rushville which we won by a large score. Our second game was played with Central High -School, St. Ioseph. The boys played excellent basketball dur- ing the first part of the game and the score at the half mark Was -17 to 15. The last half Central plunged ahead making the score at the end of the game 21 to 39, thus eliminating the Chillicothe team from the tourna- ment. Charles tDutchl Moser was high point man this year, piling up 101 points during the season. The second team had a very successful season, win- ning ten games and losing only two.

By popular vote each class elected candidates for Cresset Queen and King. The Queens and Kings were elected by the sale of tickets for the School Carnival, each ticket sold counting one vote for a Queen and one for a King. The class which sold the largest number of tickets was rewarded by having its candidates crowned as Queen and King of Senior High and Queen and King of Iunior High. Each candidate was given the opportunity of choosing her or his attendants. The Coronation of the Queens and Kings was held in connection with a Carnival which was given for the Activity Fund of the school. This carnival was sponsored by the faculty, each teacher being held responsible for some sort of entertainment. The places of amusement were Bingo Stand, Better Baby Contest, Minstrel Show, Dance Hall, and Burlesque Show. There was also plenty of soda pop, hot dog, and candy stands. The halls were packed throughout the evening with merrymakers blowing horns and throwing confetti. W'hen ten o'c1ock came, the audience waited anx- iously for the appearance of the Queens and Kings of its choice. As the band, which was directed by Mr. Stanley Shaw played My Hero from Victor Herbert's Chocolate Soldier, the curtain was drawn and Buddy Moore came to the front of the stage and put in place the satin pillow for the crowning of the royalty. The attendants for Iunior High entered the stage from the right side, while the attendants for Senior High came in from the left, and took their places at the rear of the stage. The Co-Editors and Business Managers of the Cresset immediately preceded the victorious candidates and placed themselves to the right and left of the snowy white thrones, which were at each side of the stage. The defeated candidates were also grouped to the right and left of the thrones. The Queens and Kings were crowned by the Co-Editors and Business Managers of the Cresset, t At the completion of the ceremony, Arlene Andrews delighted the crowd by giving a toe dance.
