On these two pages we offer you a few glimpses of a Very special kind of machine-one that turns out as its chief product the Youth of Today, the Citizens of Tomorrow. The raw material comprises assorted sophomores, of different sizes and kinds They are put through our many depart- ments, under the direction of capable and efficient managers. Ignorance, habits of procrastination and laziness, and such phrases as Ml seen and 'Tye sawn are lopped off. A general knowledge of many different subjects, such as geometry, his- tory, speech, typing, art, chemistry, and languages, are not tacked on, as in some schoolsebut drilled into the cerebral or- gan, where it is so deeply embedded that it is almost impossible for one of our grad- uates to lose all this knowledge. Through extra-curricular activities, rough edges are filed down, and sharp corners are gently rounded. The boys attain an extra gloss and polish through our military depart- ment, while the girls are given a smooth- er, more feminine sheen in the foods and sewing divisions. The finished products, enclosed in flow- ing gray gowns, and stiff little hats, satisfy the demand for intelligent and capable high school graduates in colleges, in the business world, and in the training schools for many professions.

'K KHere is one,' replied the Archdeacong and opening the window of his cell, he pointed to the mighty Cathedral of Notre-Dame, the black silhou- ette of its two towers, its stone sides, and its huge roof sharply outlined against the starry sky, and looking like an enormous two-headed sphinx crouching in the midst of the city. t'For some moments the Archdea-con contemplated the gigantic edifice in silence, then, sighing deeply, he pointed with his right hand to the print- cd book lying open on his table, and with his left to Notre-Dame, and cast- ing a mournful glance from the book to the church. tAlas!' he said. 'This will destroy that . . . the book will destroy the edifice!! . . . Our fair readers must forgive us if we halt a moment here and endeavour to unearth the idea hidden under the Archdeacon's enig- matical words: 'This will destroy That. The Book will destroy the Edificef To our mind, this thought has two aspects. In the first place it was a view pertaining to the priest-it was the terror of the ecclesiastic before a new force-printing. It was the servant of the dim sanctuary, scared and dazzled by the light that streamed from Gutenberg's press. It was the pul- pit and the manuscript, the spoken and the written word quailing before the printed word-something of the stupefaction of the sparrow at behold- ing the Heavenly Host spread their six million wings . . . But underlying this thought-the first, and no doubt the less complex of the twofthere was, in our opinion, a second, . . . pertaining no longer exclusively to the priest, but to the scholar and the artist likewise. It was a prclnonition that human thought, in changing its outward form, was also about to change its outward mode of expressiong that the domi- nant idea of eanch generation would, in future, be embodied in a new ma- terial, a new fashion, that the book of stone, so solid and so enduring, was to give way to the book of paper, more solid and more enduring still . . . Now which of these two arts, we ask, represents in truth the course of human thought during three centuriesg which of the two transmits, expresses, not only its fleeting literary and scholastic fashions, but its vast, profound, all-embracing tendencies? Which of the two has fitted itself like a skin, without a crease or gap, over that thousand-footed, never-resting monster, the human race? Architecture or Printing? Printing. Let no one mistake . . . Every Cathedral represents a milhon. lmagine now the sums necessary for the rewriting of tha.t archi- tectural tome, for those countless edifices to spread once more over thc land . . . A hook takes so little time in the making, costs so little, and ca.n reach so far. VVhat wonder that human thought should choose that path? Though this is not to say that architecture will not, from time to time, put forth some splended monument, some isolated master-piece. There is no reason why, under the reign of printing, we should not, some time or other, have an obelisk constructed, say, by an entire army out of melted cannon, as, under the reign of architecture, we had the Iliads, the Romants, the Mahabahratas, and the Nibelungen, built by whole nations with the welded fragments of a thousand epics. The great good fortune of possess- ing an architect of genius may befall the twentieth century, as Dante came to the thirteenth. But architecture will never again be the social, the col- lective, the dominant art. The great epic, the great monument, the great masterpiece of mankiind will never again he built, i't will be printed. -from Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo. 14 xviif Q Xxfw X iw - X Q' X x X-K X NJXZNJXIQNJXJNJNJNJXINJXIXI X goolzs deaf fell oufz lgafe + ?f5?ifX ?? f5?f5fNf'N The oar ot Education The Board of Education is composed of public-spirited eitizens who have made gen- erous Contributions to the development of education in our city. ln them is vested the final poliey-deterinining power of the Joplin sehools. Problems sueh as the raising of publie sehool revenue, the planning of building pro- grruns, maintenanee of buildings and equip- ment, the purchase of supplies, and the se- leetion of at Well-trained faculty equipped to render the best possible seryiee are only 21 few of the many which the Board of Edueu- tion has solved wisely and well. lVe owe theni Z1 debt of gratitude for their uneeasing efforts for improvement, for their loyal support, and for their sueeess in main- taining an excellent sehool system of xyhieh we are justly proud. ln the above pieture of il Board meeting, reading' from left to right, are: Mr. Herbert lVheeler, Memberg Mr. Charles VVells, Mem- berg Mr. lf.

Theirs is the immense task of keeping in order the many records pertaining' to attendance, grades, enrollment, schedules, programs, etc., and doing at the same time other routine work which the school requires. Many of the school's disciplinary problems fall to their lot, too. Although some of their contacts with the members of the student body are unpleasant, for the most part there is a mutual good feeling, friendship, and understanding between them and the students. In the photo above we sec Miss XVilliamson, Dean of Girls, Mr. Roy Greer, Dean of Boys, Miss Martin, Sccretaryg and De- Forest Young, one of the many students who come daily to one or the other of these people for help or advice. Miss XVilliamson, because ot' her kindness and helpfulness is well-liked hy all girls. Mr. Greer is one of the most popular men oi' the faculty. llis und:-rstanding of boys and his technique in working with them is admirable. Capable, efficient, and friendly, Miss Martin is liked by hoys and girls equally, and is always ready to give assistance in ironing out the tangled details ol' school life. Q QQ 17 r. 1. .

The first officers and faculty advisers were: Robert XViemer, pres- identg june XVarden, secretaryg Ed King, president pro-temg James P. Vawter, faculty representative: Miss Phoebe Griffith, faculty adviser. During this year the council adopted a school pledge, promoted good sportsmanship, discouraged absences and tardies, established and operated a lost and found bureau, and compil- ed material to be used in publishing the student handbook. The purpose of the Student Council is to promote good citizenship in the high school and to be the responsible advisory body of the students of the school. Officers for this year's council are: john Henley, presidentg Dorothy Friend, secretaryg Bob Moore, pres- ident pro-temg Bob Robertson, treas- urerg Rex Boyd, parliamentariang Bernard Hinkell, sergeant at armsg Virginia VVhitehead, reporter. The sponsors are Miss Colvin and Mr. Greer. lt is their duty to guide the work and cooperate with the council in order to achieve the best results. It has been the custom each year for the council to have some major project to work out for the better- ment of the school. The council this year purchased a motion picture ma- chine. This machine will be used in assemblies and on other occasions. Money for this project was raised by donations from various organiza- tions, by having pay assemblies of from one to ten cents at different times, and by sponsoring a ticket sale for a picture in a downtown theater. A new body was introduced into the council this year by Mr. Deather- age, vice principal of the high school. This body is. called the Steering Com- mittee. lts purpose is to outline the program of action for the council by selecting the most worthy suggestions made by the students, then putting these suggestions on the calendar of the school program. he 7 CHI' S OIIOI' ROII Tfzcxve Silzclvlztx Haifa Ncriizfflilzecl Honor SfamIi11g Ill ,SClIO1fl'I'.N'lI'If7 Tlz1'm1gIm1zf The Year.

How- ever, they soon found their plaee and eontrihuted a great deal 'to their Class and sehool. During their junior year they presented as a elass play Reheeea of Sunnybrook Farm, had several memhersiwho were prominent in the oratorieal and debating departments, and took an active part in all sports. This year has, of course, seen them take an even more outstanding part in sehool affairs. The sen- iors enaetecl Streamlined Suev- a clever, fast- moving comedy as their class play. They have taken leading parts in all school activities and have helped to make this year one of the most pleasant and profitable of all years. 32 wif-3 BETTY JANE ABBOTT J. O.

These people criticize he- cause they do not under- stand the real purpose of these cluhs. Some cluhs have as their primary aim the development of person- alitv and effective speech. Others specialize in drama- tic art, in the studv of sci- ence, or art. But whatever their individual differences these clubs all seek to help the individual to find and develope his talents, to make lasting friendships, and to learn the valnahle lesson of cooperation for the common good. No club calendar is com- plete xvithout a fexv social ,fIatliering,rs. For most cluhs the social high-light is reached in the spring ban- quet Which invariably stimulates a fine feeling of fellowship among the mem- bers. The modern high school club, Whatever its individ- ual and specialized inter- est, seeks to find and bring out the best in its memhersg to develop the indiviclualg and to teach him to use his talents for the good of his fellows. Such are the cluhs of -loplin High School.

The small group does not reply, but their eyes sparkle, and their breath comes quicker. I made it! is the general cry- Can you believe it? I made it! The time is the morning after the National Honor Society election, and the reason for the exhilaration of a few is obvious. The local chapter of the National Honor Society is rather exclusive, being made up of only forty-eight students. It is a societyavhose membership is selected on the basis of outstanding merit in scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Membership in it is the highest honor that a student can receive in high school. The Argonauts The Argonauts have been having some very excellent programs this year. Their objective is to maintain high ideals and literary excellence. Among the diversions of the society is the singing of songs from the Yellow Book. This seems to be a favorite among the girls. The Argonauts have also had the usual social affairs. The officers of the club are: president, XVilma Fielding, vice president, Mildred Reynolds, secretary, Margaret Malloryg reporter, Margaret Greningerg sergeant at arms, Imogene Horton: parliainentarian, Ila june DeGraffenried.

The ational Forensic eague The National Forensic League is an organization maintained to promote interest in all for- ensic activities, such as debating, extemporaneous speaking, dramatic declamation, original oratory, humorous and dramatic reading, and oratorical declamation. The Joplin Senior High School has the largest chapter in the State of Missouri. lf you have never been to a debate tourney, then you have no idea what you've missed! More fun! The league sponsored trips to Pittsburg, Coffeyville, Springfield, Topeka, and to the state meet at Liberty where they captured second place. Membership in the league is gained through merit points, and do those sophs and juniors fight for them! The National Forensic League is a very important part of our speech and debating depart- ments. Sigma amma amlyda There were big doings going on in the cafeteria March ll. The Sigma Gamma Lambdas had a big birthday party with all the trimmings celebrating their twelfth year as an organ- ization. During that time they have been active in sports, dramatics, and other school activities. Mrs. Chestnut, on the afore-mentioned birthday, earned the title of Ye Royale Cake Cutter for all time.

This year, it 1s'an exceedingly well-planned and managed organization, with a great capacity for doing things. Almost every successful boy has in his pedigree the term Hi-Y and each person is proud of that symbol. 'The exact purpose of the Hi-Y is to create, amplify, and maintain the high standard of Christian character throughout the high school and community. It is a branch of an inter- national organization, and affords opportunity for study of international problems. Girl Reserves Did you meet that good-looking Indian we saw at Muskogee?

With her help the members of the organization have become outstanding in the speech activities. This year the Castalians maintained their enviable record of previous years in capturing speech honors. One of the members, Emma Belle DeVaney, participated in the finals of the spring debate tournament and was an alternate on the state team. The Castalians ended a brilliant season with one of the year's most successful banquets. They feel that their year has been a most profitable one. ave and Quill The G.

Q. was quite successful with its pledging this year, and so has hopes of maintaining its reputation for at least two more years. Best of luck! Pliilogians Philogian means Lover of Study and it would seem that this group picked the right name. Betty Belle True, salutatorian for this year's graduating class hails from this socety. We won- der if their plan of sponsoring a short story and poem contest is not a good way of training would-be salutatorians.. These girls are not only literary but musically inclined as well, being well represented in glee club, orchestra, band, and drum corps. During meetings, if sounds re- sembling a woodpecker's rhumba emit from various parts of the room, no one seems to mind. The rest know it's only Virginia Fountain, drum corps commander, teaching someone a new drum stroke. Funny place to practice!

OI'llII1 No. it is in no way connected with Rome, and certainly not with a magazine. There are no dry talks to and fro. It has no great speakers of national note who come to argue. The Forum is a society that is not limited to one particular forte, but rather secures a great variety in its programs and presentations. Nor is all this political ballyhoo-although we from the outside looking in, suspect that there must have been a strong contingent in favor of the Democrats Cand that other party that seems to have slipped my mindj during the recent election, we'll wager that words fell from lips thick and fast. The Forum is one of the out- standing organizations in the school when it comes to first-hand knowledge of current situa- tions. The high light of their year was their party at the Boy Scout camp. Boy! does that Ralph NVinfrey know his magic? Atlantians In the old days, Atlanta showed her speed by placing first in all the foot races held around the country. But the more up-to-date Atlantians whizz by the rest of us in a more modern fashion. This year they used this idea for their banquet, having miniature streamlined air- planes decorating almost every place there vvas a vacant space. The members show their fleet- ness in other ways, too. In the seasonal basketball tournament one of the fastest teams repre- sented on the court came from this society. They're still talking about some of their fancy foot work. Did you say fast? Well ----- ! Pliilo Plaronians If you don't think these Philo Phronians can't throw the shing-dings just read a list of the ones they have had. First they had a spooky Hallowe'en party. At Christmas time they cele- brated and some time later they had a big chili supper. Interspersed among all these affairs they have had hikes which always end up with good things to eat. Of course, no social calendar would be complete Without that final event, the spring banquet. But these gals do more than just have parties. In their meetings they have contests in various fields and they offer prizes for the winners. In order that Emily Post may find no fault they have had programs devoted to the study of etiquette. 66 OI'll1'I1 Atlantians ev Philo Pluronians Top picture: Third row-Dorothy Campbell, Lois Gillman, Kathryn Heurcamp, Doris King, Wanda Boucher, Maude Holden, Faye Boucher, - Elizabeth Wiggins, Eugenia Hatfield, Mary Etta VViggins.

These sport enthusi- asts also pattern their lives after the famous Aspasia, first advocate of higher education for women.

Only this year they have sponsored the gt-neralt exhibit for National Education XVeek, manufacturing felt health pennants to be used in grade school work, made I. H. S. emblems to be worn on sweat- ers, and furnished the decorations for the county teachers' association meet in joplin. ln their meetings they all work on various projects. Some paint, either in water colors or oilsg some knit on a sweater for the boy friend, many work on fancy needle work and others busily study costume designing. After seeing the results of their work we expect to see many famous artists from this group in the years to come. panislm Did you ever see so many strange happenings? XVhat is wrong with that group of boys? The answer, as usual, is nothing for nothing more than usualj. Simply that they are Spanish Club members, and are practicing their Spanish upon us poor unfortunates. lsn't it distracting to have them talk to you in an unknown tongue? To preserve one's dignity one must look as if one knew what was going on, but how can one do so when his intellect does not follow the immense process of language. But, they're jolly good fellows, even if at times their lingo is a littlle trying. We hear, too, that they have some of the most interesting pro- grams in school. VVhy can't we comer up some time? Harold Lloyd was president and Tom Fenix, secretary-treasurer during the first semester.

G. T. C. Joplin High School has one of the largest junior units of the Re- serve Officers Training Corps in the midwest. Our school is extremelv fortunate in having such a unit as a part of its activities. lt has main- tained a standard of such excellence that it has, with the exception of onlv one or two vears, been awarded an honor rating by the War Department. The purpose of the R. O. T. C. is to teach voung men to live clean- lv and courageously, to he Worthv citizens, and to prepare them for leadership in the defense of their countrv should that necessity arise. The R. O. T. C. is made up of two battal- ions. ln the First Bat- talion is the Band in- cluding Companies A and B. The Second Bat- talion consists of Com-- panies C, D, and F. Each hattalion is under a ma- jor and his staff, who in turn are subordinate to the lieutenant colonel and adjutant. A new feature of the corps this vear is the se- lection of three girls as lionorarv sponsors. Miss Eula. MacFadclen, a sen- ior, is honorarv lieu- tenant colonelg Miss lane Carmichael and Miss lean Rothwell are hon- orarv maiors, represent- ing the junior and soph- omore classes, respect- ivelv. i i l QQ QQ Genial, even-tempered Major Block directs the activities of the R. O. T. C. in Joplin High School. 111' Xlvith an interest in all R. O. T. C. boys that could come only by being interested in the mighty corps itself, be guides the unit to high- er perfection and better understanding of the problems and Worries Orps that face the average high school student in this transition age from youth to mature citizenship. Onlnlan er Major Block himself is a great enthusiast for the deyelopment in boys of the principles that characterize better citizenship and better social development. His nature makes him one of the best men in the country for developing this phase of the average student's living. To Major Block then, a kindly understanding man, the students of Joplin High School accord that respect and admiration which real leadership inspires. THE DIAMOND AND DISC The Diamond and Disc, an organization of the officers and sponsors of the R. O. T. C., has been particularly active this year. Under the leadership of Captain Tom Duvenick, president of the Diamond and Disc, it has presented several major entertainments during the year and has sponsored several contests. The military ball was sponsored by this organization and was an outstanding success. The profits made on this affair were used to buy sabers and medals for all R. O. T. C. men who were winners of the various military competitions. Besides the military ball, the Diamond and Disc gave an old fashioned officers' mess, in honor of the Carthage officers. At this meeting, a new organization, comprising both cities' officers, and called Diamond and Chainf' was effected. Early in the year, the Diamond and Disc gave an officers' hop at Saginount lnn. The hop was one of the most successful enter- tainments of the year. 1Vf .f07' EIHW' R.

Somewhere, no matter how vast it may be, must be an execu- tive force. ln Joplin High Schoolls R. O. T. C., the eX- ecutive force is vested in the combined regi- mental and battalion staffs. The regimental staff is composed of the lieutenant colonel. honorary lieutenant colonel, adjutant. several lieutenants, a captain, and a few non-com- missioned officers. The battalion staffs con- sist of a major and his staff. The regiment is divided into two battalions, the First and Second. Lieutenant Colonel Robertson, Adjutant Parkison, and Honorary Lieutenant Colonel McFadden compose the guiding super-beings of the first sector, Major Guinn and Honor- ary Major Carmichael control the second: Major Turner and Honorary Major Bothwell control the third. All three together are called the Combined Regimental Staffs. The Reglmental Band VVith banners rippling in the breeze, with golden trumpets blaring, the Regimental Band comes swinging down the street. At its head is a youth with a flashing silver baton, and following come row upon row of good-looking young men, sabers flashing, drums beating, and music flashing outward upon gleeful wings, until the onlookers hearts seem to surge and pound and rise to meet this gallant band of hearty heroes. VVith quickened step and dancing eye theY march, setting the pace for the entire battal- ion. As they pass the regimental reviewing stand, their lines are straight, their heads held high, and their step light. They typify the beauty of music 'and motion blended together, a poetry of pulse-quickening rhythm.

Our music organ- izations have repeatedly won high honors in state and national contests, lVe have in Klr. Coulter a, nationallv known high school music director of unique reputation. Our musical program is comprehensive, in- cluding instruction in hand, orchestra, glee cluhs, drum corps, and mixed chorus. The de- partment also provides opportunitv For individ- ual voice and instru- mental instruction and offers classes in theory, appreciation and har- monv. The orchestra is per- haps the hest known of the organizations. lt plays for most assem- blies and at numerous local and district pro- grams. lt is widely known in other cities for its successes in competi- tion. The militarv hand and the girls' drum corps are popular and well, known marching units associat- ed with nearly everv festive occasion in the district. The department is not- ed tor its annual Christ- mas and spring concerts which are always well attended. T. Franlc Coulter Su beifvisor of Music in Joplin Schools 79 it Joplin High School owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Coulter for the honors which the music- al organizations under his di- rection have brought to this school. Not only is Mr. Coulter known as a prominent musician in Joplin, but he is nationally recognized as one of the fore- most music educators in the country. As president of the State Chor- al Association and vice presi- dent of the State Instrumental Association, he aided in the merging of the two groups into one Missouri Music Educators' Association. He 'is a member of the board of the State Music Educators' Association, the board of direct- ors of the National School Or- chestra Association, and the Na- tional School Band Association. As a member of the two last mentioned organizations, h e was entitled to attend the Na- tional Band and Orchestra Clin- ic at Urbana, Illinois. Interested in all things music- al and certainly an authority on many things musical, Mr. Coul- ter keeps the musical units of Joplin in step with the leading organizations in the country. 'i T e Qrchestra Joplin has for many years had one of the outstanding orehestrzis in the Country. XVe may well he proud of our one hundred pieee symphony orchestra which is allways a serious eontender for first place at the huge national orchestra eontests. Last year the orchestra reeeiyed first plaee at the l'ittslmur,Q,' eontest and ei first honor rating' zit Columbia. This year the orchestra, assisted hy the choral organizations, gave El Christmas Vesper Convert, at niid-year eoneert, and was featured in the spring Con- Cert. As the Joplinio goes to press the orchestra, is again entered in the national eontest, held this year at Columbus, Ohio. 4 our orehestra.

Last year it receiyed first place in Pittsburg and also a first- rating at Columbia.. The band played at all home football games and went to two out of town games. Carthage and Monett. In addition, the band went to the American Royal in Kansas City. lt gave its annual concert in Connection with the Minstrel Show and played in the spring concert. The band has been exceptionally strong this year. Although it is not unusually large, it is very well balanced and has been doing excellent work tl1is year with an entirely different type of selections. 5. y Band and Drum Corps Go Into Action These brass tooters stop long enough to let the leather lunged boys do a bit of howling.

Ulrici, dramatics coach. The full course in speech is covered in four semesters' Work. These divisions are designated as Speech IV B, Speech IV A, Speech V B, and Speech V A. The objectives of this course are: to eradicate undesirable mannerismsg to be able to discover, se- lect, and arrange ideas and then to express them ef- fectively before an audienceg to develop mental and emotional response to the meanings of good litera- ture, and the ability to read so that these meanings may be correctly communicated to othersg to give a cultural appreciation of good drama and a reason- M1 Q Dora C. Ulrici able mastery of basic principles in the technique of acting. The junior class play was presented in the first semester and the sen- ior class play in the second semester as usual. In order to be eligible for either of the plays one must have an average of HM in all subjects during the semester preceding the one in which the try-out is held. The junior play this year was f'Growing Pains by Arania Rouverol. It was a three-act comedy of youth, and proved to be one of the most pop- ular plays in the senior high school this year. The roles of George and his little tomboy sister Terry, the two youngsters afflicted with Growing Pains , were very effectively played by Bill Kerwin and Mary Liddane Reid, respectively. Others in the cast were Lorene Myers, Ed Farmer, Billie Marie Grattis, Gibson NVolfe, Mary Katherine Sours, Jane Car- michael, Charles Sharp, Howard Cozad, Mary Alice Bennett, Lynn Crag- in, Jean Keith, Buster Taylor, Norman Guinn, Jayne Haughaxvout, Jua.nita McAda, Lucille Ebenstein, and Merlin Stratton. Bookholders were Claire Prigg and Selma Dee. Streamlined Sue by Eugene G. Hafer was produced by the senior class for their annual play. It was a three-act comedy full of chuckles, laughs, and roars. The play Was a decided success, breaking the record for a capacity-filled house. The title role was played by Eula McFadden, who made a very convincing rough-neck turned to a peaches and cream fluff. Jack Barnes was exceedlingly good in the part of Charlie Boone, a bombastic, 'fdressed-up hobo , Whose temper and temperament just fitted Jack's red hair. Supporting roles were played by Jean Miles, Bob Moore, Dorothy Friend, Max Potter, Charles Fairchild, Martha Belle Giltner, Bill Campbell, and Dorothy Lee XVilkins. Bookholders were Betty XVeidman and Ruth Briggs. Students of the dramatics department attended several contests this year: the Drury College Contest, the State National Forensic League Con- test at the XVilliam Jewel College in Liberty, Missouri, and the scholastic contests at the Kansas State Teachers College in Pittsburg, Kansas. Those entering the Drury College Contest were Mary Ellen Sims and La Deane Mount in the lyric poetry reading, and Billy Burns in original oratory. A number of students prepared declamations and participated in the preliminary contestsg but, of course, from their number only a few were picked to go to the National Forensic League contest at Liberty. Those representing Joplin at the Liberty contest were: Marv Lid- dane Reid and Marv Ellen Sims, humoruous declamationg lavne Haugha- wout and Marv Liddane Reid, dramatic declamation, and Billy Burns and Max Potter, original eration. Javne l-laughaxvout was the only entrant in the Pittsburg contest. She entered with her dramatic reading. On the whole the dramatics department has had a very successful and profitable year. 85 -1 unior I lay 1 1 T0piKerwin Sevms to have lost hiS--- Ed Fnrmur fluttering' likv QU Ogg bent- Pr---dignity.

In interscholastic debating Rex Boyd and Enos Currey won five of the eight debates in which they participated, Billy Burns, Harold Cloud, Frank Brittain, and William Owen, as a whole team, won four debates on affirmative side and four on the negative side, and Ruth Parker and Emma Belle DeVaney won four of their eight debates. Twelve other students who attended invitation tournaments won some- what less than fifty percent of the debates in which they' participated. In the N. F. L. state tournament which was held at VVilliam Jewel College, Efbefty, I ', ' , , . f 3 ex- temporaneous speaking, oratorical, humorous, and dramatic declamation, oratory, and debate. Joplin made second place on the whole tournament, receiving forty-three points, next to the forty-five made bv the winning school, Salisbury. There twenty-three of the finest schools of Missouri par- ticipated. Our extemporaneous speaking contestants have been john Leffen and Everett Reniker who respectively, won first and second places at Drury College contest, Martha de Villers and Bettv Ann Greenwell who repre- sented Joplin in the State contest, and Williain Owen who with john Leffen was in the Pittsburg contest. The representatives in original ora- tion were Billy. Burns and Max Potterg in oratorieal declamation, Bob Robertson, who made the final in the state, and Ed Farmer. In our chapter of National Forensic League are thirtv members, four of whom hold degrees of distinction, ten, degrees of excellenceg thirteen, degrees of honorg and three, degrees of merit. The Nl. F. L. Chapter has sponsored the Spring debate tournament, an annual activity that gives foundation for the debate work of the com- ing year. Those who won the five dollar awards as best individual debaters were Martha de Villers and Max Potter. ' The team that won the tournament, thereby winning for its society- the L. C. F.'s in this case-the Elsner loving cup, was composed of Bill Kerxvin and Max Potter. The team winning second place was composed of Emma Belle DeVaney and Martha de Villers. All four debaters in the final round were awarded major letters. The success of the spring debate tournament is largely due to the combined efforts of the members of the N. F. L. Chapter. To them much praise is due. 88 tate Delaaters and Alternates ..... Very early in the school year the personnel of the State debate team was announced. jean Miles, joe Brookshire, Bob Robertson, and XVendell Garrison were those selected to represent joplin in the interschool C011- tests. All members made preparation to speak on either side of our state and national question: 'tResolved, That all electric utilities should be governmentally owned and operated. Even thoughthe successes attained have not carried with them any trophies, the accomplislnnents of the team have marked for us a record ol' which we should be proud. Robertson and Garrison, who debated most of the time on the nega- tive side of the question, xvon fourteen of the twenty interscholastic dc- bates in which they participated. During the course of the year, they won over the state teams of each of these schools: Jonesboro, Arkansas, Topeka, Emporia, and Pittsburg, Kansas: University City, Liberty, Salis- bury, Lexington, Carthage, and Wlebbf City, Missouri, and Picher, Okla- homa. They Won over the alternate team of Muskogee, over a Miami team, and over the second team of Pittsburg, as well as over the first. Miss Miles and her colleague, joe Brookshire, participated in sixteen scholastic debates, of which they won nine. XVhile attending tournaments they defeated the state teams of these various schools: XVichita, Pittsburg, and Emporia Kansasg Nevada, Cabool, Plattsburg, and Sedalia, Missouri. They won over Springfields alternate team and over a. second Pittsburg team. Of special interest to our community was their non-decision debate against West Mineral, Kan., a debate which was broadcasted over VVMISH. So, on the whole the Work of the State debate team has indeed been commendable. . Each member of the team holds a Degree of Distinction in the Na- tional Forensic League, an honor that cannot be attained Without de- monstration of real ability' and noxver to win. Slightly less efficient than the State debate team is our alternate team which is composed of Martha de Villers, Richard Rraeckel, Martha Belle Giltner, and Richard MclVilliams, each of whom holds a Degree of Excellence in the National Forensic League. This team won six debates on the affirmative side of our debate question and six on the negative side. 89 Are We Speec Conscious? - - - eil, Have a Look Above!

Ulrici. Miss Moran has been a member of our faculty for some years and has attained a really unusual reputation for her speech Work, especially in the field of debate. Throughout the fall and early winter Miss Moran is busy outside her regular classes in coaching the numerous debaters who will represent Joplin in the various tournaments. There is much planning to be done and countless details to be attended to in connection with these tournaments. Trips are made throughout the state and into the neighboring states of Qklahoma and Kansas fort debate competition. The Joplin contenders are usually successful in capturing more than their share of honors. In addition to the debate Work, Miss Moran has charge. of the ex- tempore speaking and of the oratorical declamation in which there are also a number of inter-city competitions. But perhaps the busiest time of all for Miss Moran is after the spring semester begins. At that time she sponsors the annual spring debate tournament which is an intra-school event of no mean proportions. Us- ually there are from seventy to a hundred people enteredt The debaters are paired in brackets and eventually, by a series of elimination contests, the two winning teams are xvinnowed from the large field. It is a most worthwhile activity, but one that means much Work for both students and sponsor. Mrs. Ulrici came to us this year from North junior High School. It falls in her province to teach classes in speech and dramatics and to coach all major dramatic productions which the school presents during the course of the year. In addition, she coaches the entra.nts to the dramatic and humorous reading contests and has charge of all Work in original oration. There are two annual dramatic productions, the junior a.nd senior plays, which mean weeks of strenuous rehearsing for both Mrs. Ulrici and the student cast. However, all concerned Work cheerfully through the long periods of preparation intent upon one goal, a successful play. Both junior and senior plays this year were a pronounced success. W'hile new to our faculty, Mrs. Ulrici has proved that she is an unusually capable speech teacher and dramatics coach. 91 Q Q Q Ellamae Smitlz B ob C ha pmam, The Joplimo Perhaps nothing helps to preserve the pleasant memories of high school days more than one's school annual. The joplimo staff of 1937 has tried to record in pictures not only the entire student body and faculty, but such glimpses of school life as will be pleasant to recall in after years. Together with the pictorial record of 1937, the staff has tried to record in print those names, events, and thoughts connected with school life which will help to preserve the year 1937 in the minds and hearts of students, faculty, and friends. lf we, the staff of 1937, have done these things reasonably Well, we have accomplished our task. But publication of this volume would have been impossible without the cooperation of faculty, business men, and stu- dent body, To them We express our appreciation.

Under the direction of capable faculty afl- visers and a carefully chosen staff each edition has been up to the high standard set in previous years. Second Class Honor Rating has been re- ceived in the National Scholastic Press Association contest. The purpose of the paper is to give full details of all important and in- teresting activities of the school, both curricular and extra-curricular. lts publication also gives valuable training to those interested in journalism. During the 1935-1937 term, fifteen papers have been published. The staff members had special pride in their Christmas edition, an eight page paper, which was printed in red and green. This was the largest paper ever to be printed at Joplin High School. The success of the business staff in getting a.dvertisements as well as the Work of other staff members made possible, also, tivo six page editions.

We Go in For Sports In Joplin High School We have an unusually Com- plete athletic staff and a comprehensive program for sports and health train- ing. Our athletic staff is head- ed by the Hold maestro, Coach Collins, who acts as director of all boys sports and is head football coach. Mr. Mikkelsen is in charge of basketball and Mr. Dyer is track coach. Both assist in football. There is no finer wav to develop courage, clean sportsmanship, selt-conti- dence, and bodilv strength and skill than by competi- tive athletics. Our coaches and our boys want to win, and they usually do, but a fundamental that is instill- ed into them constantly is to play the game honestly and fairlvf-and Win or lose, be a good sport. Most competitive athlet- ics teach another virtue, that of team play. Individ- ual brilliance is desirable, but in life as in sport, good team work is alwavs super- ior to good but uncoopera- tive individual play. Joplin High has goo d reason to be athletic mind- ed. 3 ns! QQ QQ 1. Joplin 2. Joplin 3. Joplin 4. Joplin 5. Joplin 6. Joplin 7. Joplin 8. Joplin 9. Joplin 10. Joplin 1. Joplin 2. Joplin 3. Joplin 4.

Such is the 'philosophy of the Chinese, and such may be the attitude taken by the students in regard to our football team. Coach Collins had only six returning men around which to build the team this year: J. R. Graue, Harold Shafer, Bob Howard, Clay Dennen, Fred Robinson, and Charles Warden. Despite such unfortunate circum- stances we were victorious in a fair share of our games and had a fine opportunity to enjoy excellent playing on the part of some of our players. The Lamar game, in which we were outweighed and were the least experienced, was successful, in no small measure, because of the passing combination of Graue and Carroll. The score was 7 to O. The Carthage game, played at Carthage, was a notable victory. The wonderful blocking there displayed by our line together with the outstand- ing teamwork of our backs were the most important elements in obtaining our victory. With Carroll's long runs, after receiving the passes of Hood and Graue, there was just no stopping the victorious Red and Green Eagles. The Thanksgiving Day game, played with Springfield, saw the Red and Green fall before the powerful onslaught of a remarkable team. Cap- tain Shafer's punting, together with the brilliant playing of VVeygandt, Legg, and Remillard, succeeded in stopping a great many of the Bulldog's smashing drives. lt is easy to praise a winning team which sweeps all before it, but, in a sense, even more praise is due to a team which consistently puts up a good fight against odds. Ioplin's football team played for all that was in the game, and for that reason we feel that our season was a success. Kenneth Smith, at the annual Sapphonian Football Banquet, was elected captain for the coming year. Thus terminated another year of football, and we look forward to the coming year with grea.t expectations. The Squad Back row---Flint, Coulter, Lang, Stevens, N.

Under his leadership, the Joplin High School basketball squad won twelve games out of a twelve game schedule. Here is just a brief review of some of the most exciting and important games. The Columbus game gave the Joplin players their first chance to show their ability as basketball players. It was probably the most exciting game of the season. YVith the score tied at 19-19 when the final whistle blew, an overtime period had to be played. Then, lo-and-behold! after the overtime period, the game was still tied, each team having scored once, making the score 21-21. After a five minute rest, play was resumed once inogif and this time the J. H. S. Eagles emerged victorious by a score of 27- . After the 32-12 defeat given to us by Competition in the Springfield Tournament, which was not a scheduled game, however, Joplin came back to her winning stride to defeat Carthage in one of the closest games of the season. At the beginning of the third quarter Carthage led by a score of 15-14. This was soon overcome, however, when Beck made a field goal and Cuinn scored three points. With the score 21-18 in our favor and one minute left to play, Carthage rallied and moved the score up to 21-20. VVhen the final whistle blew, both teams were fighting hard for possession of the ball. Dick Bennett, sophomore ace, who has been going strong this year, was high point man for Joplin. NVe won our second consecutive victory over our old rival, Spring- field, by a score of 28-18. Dick Bennett again led the field with eight points. Joplin earned a trip to the State Tournament this year bv winning the Regional Tournament played at Neosho, March 44, 5, and 6. The J. H. S. Eagles won from NVheaton in the finals this year by a score of 31-22. Thus we come to the close of another successful basketball season. XX-'e hope the players of next year and the years to come may be as successful in keeping up the school tradition of producing winners.

This may not seem a very great honor but one must take into consideration the fact that this is the first indoor track meet in which Joplin has ever participated. We entered with a squad of only eight men. All three schools ahead of us have some in- door 'track facilities, whereas we have only an outdoor track. The personnel of our State Championship Medley Relay Team is as follows: Jack Guinnee, 440, John Garrett, 2203 Gail Hood, 2205 and Harold Rolleg, 4140. Track, because of the fact that it is, to so large an extent, an individ- ual proposition, places to a greater extent than any other sport a premium upon physical fitness. We hope to develop track to equal football in popu- larity. Besides the fact that track is an individual proposition, it also re- quires teamwork. This year at the Joplin rela.ys, Joplin High School sponsored a four- state meet with over three hundred athletes entered. It was undoubtedly the greatest high school track carnival in the state. Joplin is also the scene of the Jasper County meet at which Joplin was fortunate in Winning first place. Our schedule for this year follows: Jasper County Meet, Joplin Re- laysg Triangular Meet fSpringfield, Joplin, and Carthagejg Springfield State Teachers Invitational Meet, and the Outdoor Championship at Co- lumbia. Joplin was the winner of both the Jasper County Meet and the Joplin Relays. In the Jasper County Meet, Dick Bennett set a new record for the pole vault event with a height of eleven feet. .

Below we attempt to give you a glimpse into the work of her department. Calisthenics have been emphasized this year due to the response found in previous years in regard to them. Girls are learn- ingemore and more every year how vital exercise and good posture is to their ap- pearance and personality in general. The hygiene classes are made up almost entirely of discussions concerning better living and the ways to correct weak Helen Krieckhaus D0iH'fS- Girls' Athletic Coach The intramural basketball tournament was held again this year. After the girls had had several weeks of practice, competition was started. The teams that entered were as follows: Aspasians, who won the tournament, Philo Phronians, Sigma Lambdas, a junior class team, a sophomore class team, and a senior class team. The Philo Phronian girls won second place in this very popular tournament. A basketball tournament was also held for the gym classes and was won by the sixth hour Tuesda.y and Wednes- day class, led by captain Ethel Roe. Basketball is emphasized in all the gym classes. Games are held twice a week after school in the gym and any girl taking gym may participate. Soft-ball, a most popular sport, is played once a week at Iunge Field. Competition games are held between societies in this sport, also. There are probably more girls interested in learning how to play tennis correctly than in any other sport. Miss Krieckhaus is very anxious to develop this interest. Every spring a tournament is held and a great deal is learned by all participating. Miss Krieckhaus is very generous about helping those who wish to learn. One form of physical exercise that Miss Krieckhaus enjoys teaching and which is of much value in developing poise and 'grace is group dancing. It is really an impressive sight to see a large group of girls mov- ing in perfect rhythm and coordination. Another one of the sports that the girls enjoy and in which they have ample opportunity to indulge is volley ball. Nearly any day one can wit- ness a spirited game in this sport. The two primary aims of the girls' physical training program., the development of sound health and the acquirement of reasonable skill in recreational sports, are well served bv the program offered at joplin High. 104 Left to right, tofu In lmffowzt Bark row, first plzicv in C1355 hz15k4-thzillg and fruiit, Aspasiaus, first in society hzlskethzill.

It occupies three and three-fourths acres of ground and has a floor space of thirteen and one-half acres. The original cost plus the site was seven million dollars. The build- ing is a three story edifice surmounted by a dome. lt contai is a great cen- tral rotunda, which is the reading room, from which radiate book-stacks, and which is inclosed in a parallelogram of galleries and pavilions. On the ground floor is the copyright office, reading room for the blind, and the superintendents office. The first floor contains the reading room, the librarian's room, periodical reading room, Senate and Representatives' reading room, and map room. The pavilions and galleries of the second floor are devoted to exhibits of engravings and other collections, includ- ing rare books, first editions, and portraits of the Presidents and other per- sonages. The dome is finished in black copper, with panels gilded with a thick coating of gold leaf. The thirty-three windows of the corner pavil- ion and of the west facade have carved heads representing the several races of men. The entire building is decorated with examples of painting and Sculpture. u lf one wishes to write an account of the development of the opera from its earliest beginnings to the present day there is no other place in the world where he could find available such valuable material for his purposeas in the Library of Congress. That establishment contains the third greatest store of musical compositions in existence, comprising 600, 000 volumes and pieces. lt also possesses forty-five thousand bound volumes of newspapers dating back to the beginning of newspaper history in this country, and its collection of American Eighteenth Century news journals is unrivaled. The collection of ma.nuscript Americana includes the private and off- icial 'papers of Washington, jefferson, Madison and six other Presidents, as well as many of the papers of Benjamin Frankling also the records of the Continental Congress and the orderly books of the American Army during the Revolution. The bookstacks, which are independent of the building itself, though embraced within it, provide accommodations for three and a half million volumes, and when required this capacty can be extended to seven million volumes. The bookstack-s a.re of iron with shelves of the same material polished and lacquered to render them rustproof, being of a gridiron pattern, to help ventilation. VVhen deprived of air, the books mold. They will not catch fire and cannot be burned, unless surrounded by very active com- bustibles-a condition impossible in metal ,racks in a building of brick and marble. Perhaps the most striking feature of the Library of Congress todav is the automatic character of the service it affords.. Everything possible is relegated to machinery. Thus the books are delivered to readers and returned to the bookstacks a.lmost wholly by mechanical means. An end- less chain, carrying a series of wire travs, transports from the stacks and dumps at the reading desk, fin the center of the great circular reading rooml the volumes that are called for. When a book is to be returned to its shelf the attendant utilizes the same mechanism, adjusting a 'pointer at alnumber on a dial corresponding with the deck in the bookstack for which it is destined. The machine drops it off quietly at the deck. All of this work is accomplished noiselessly and as if through operation of magic by concealed electric motors. The library is available to the public for use, and affords rare oppor- tunities for research in nearly any field. 106 THE IQSQ JOPLIMO QUEEN hae! 108 Jllixs 111110 B'l'ClSI'lCl' The Sophomore Queen Attenctant dr JAY 109 df IAS The Senior ueen Attendant Jliss jlltll'1'01'I'U Pm Boolc Titles l 7 l.

REX BOYD President of the senior class when a senior class, also when a junior class. He showed his political leanings when very young. At the age Of three months he pointed to a picture of Mr. Ray Van Rant, candidate of the Repocratic party, and said, 'tDblimXy foozle! which his father rightly interpreted as meaning, Thats what l'm gonna be when I grow up. He started his career by making speeches from a Toast Posties Box, planning to work up gradually to full-grown Soap Box. Followed in the footsteps of Demosthenes by practicing his speeches with jaw-breakers in his mouth. Once sprained said jaw trying to say Uanticroipopilosden- ationafligatef' but he recovered in time to mutter Thank you, and re- ceive applause. On graduation from high school, he intends to enter the fields of poli- tics in earnest. Plans to run for Chief Flunky to the Street Cleaners on a platform of, Why should we work?

From early childhood Miss Smith displayed a remarkable talent for writing. At the age of ten she was learning to write her second nursery rhyme. NVhile attending the Sheodora, Kansas Institute her family moved to Joplin, Mo. and she enrolled in the Joplin School for Learning. As a sophomore she won first place in the interscholastic essay con- test on The Complexions of Indians and How To Keep Them That XVay. Her original oration on The Student Squawksu won second place at the speech contest between Joplin and Podunk Junction. Her three years at the J. H. S. were climaxed by her selection as chief on the pencil sharpening corps of the school annual, The Lopjimo. She graduated with flying colors having been a member of that privileged group the lower twenty five per cent of the graduating class. Hers was the mark of a genius.

H. . BETTY BELLE TRUE Miss Betty Belle True of the Bluebarry Trues opened her eyes on the world for the first time in August, 1920, in the city of Joplin, Missouri. From the beginning of her young life her parents were sure that she was destined to become one of the greatest dancers of all times. Her stage debut was made at the age of four when she was presented with forty other children in the Little Tots Revue, an annual affair held in the city. Miss True almost wrecked her career in this one performance, however, when she slipped and fell during the Spring de Ballet number. In the fall she struck her head violently on the floor and since that time has been bothered with severe cranial trouble. Miss True never seems to know when she does a ballet number whether the dance will end in a rhumba or not. Her affliction causes her feet to do strange things. She can never be quite sure and it is, because of this thing that she has been so handicapped in achieving greatness in her dancing. Miss True has also devoted much of her time and energy towards the mastering of her school subjects. So thoroughly did she master her studies that she was awarded the distinction of being dubbed the flunk- atorian of the 1937 graduating class. Miss True is at the present studying under Rollie Sand, the famous bareback dancer. MAX CAESAR POTTER Born in 1920, has been living in the first century B. C. ever since. At the tender age of eleven, uttered his first words- Veni, vidi, vici. His mother, to humor the little fellow, let him dress like a Roman senator, until one day at school, Max got into a fight. He came home with a large crevice in his dome, and his mother's best sheet, torn to shreds. The sheet mended, but Max didn't- Horribile dictu, and things and stuff. When he reached the ninth grade, he was very disappointed to find that he and the teacher didn't speak the same kind of Latin, but he finally taught her the proper and authentic method. The triumph of his career was getting a plav he wrote turned down by three of the best publishing houses in the entire United States. DOROTHY FRIEND Born in Nagorone, Missouri, she was so terrified by the roar of the traffic, that her family was forced to move to a nice quiet farm. Here little Dorothy grew up, with the birds and flowers and butterflies and grasshoppers as her only playmates. Her mother used to smile fondly as she saw her little daughter with long golden curls, pink hairbow, and scrubby-looking knees, run after a beautiful butterfly, or in childish glee, dissect a full-sized craw-daddy. But when she sta.rted to school, she put her dear parents a bit on the nonplussed side. Little Dorothy was so shy! While the other children played hop-scotch or jacks, she just sat there like a window display. How to coax her to join the games? The question was solved when the teacher set off a firecracker under her chair. After that she didn't sit on the sidelines for anywhere elsej for weeks. She got along all right in high school until one day she had to make an announcement in assembly. She got so nervous she twisted all the pink ruffles off her dress, and was so embarrassed that she nearly burst a blood vessel. Her favorite expression is Mercy on us! 115 O98 ho III JH. . JOHN HENLEY The Hon. John Daniel Henley, our illustrious student body president, is a person of whom Joplin Senior High School may well be proud, for he is truly a home product. Little John Daniel was born in Joplin at a very tender age on April Fools' Day, 1919. The very day on which he was, born indicated that something great was in store for him. Even when he was a little child Johnnie showed his qualities of leadership, ability, strength, perserverance and intelligence. For example he used to pull the little girls' braids, fight the boys tif they were smaller than he wasl, work diligently for minutes on the construction of a sling shot and never had to take his books home to make a grade of HI. These are only a few of the manv illustrations that depict the strong character that was his. When asked to what he most attributed his success, Mr. Henley replied, All what I is, I owes to me mudderf' RUSSELL HOLDEN Russell is one of these rhythm boys who learned to swing out while quite young. When two months old, he was muggin.g heavy, but the neighbors thought he was just a cry-baby. His first piece was lVlammy Don't Allow No Music Played 'Round Here, and when she heard him, she didn't. He took lessons on the violin from Herr Longentangled, but the maestro finally gave it up, complaining that the way Russell played it, 'tHumoresque sounded like the Tiger Rag. At the age of eleven, he had a five-piece band kicking out for the customers down at the Dirty Spoon. They were paid just what was dropped into the kitty. They didn't mind it so much when the people dropped in pennies, but when mills got into circulation, they decided it wasn't worth it. He hopes some dav to be a big-time handleader, and is practicing meanwhile in Chief's little set-up. EULA MAC FADDEN Born not too long ago and not too far away. When one month old, was greatly handicapped by an inability to walk or talk, which she over- came in a few months by exercising great will power and perserverance. VVhen she first started to school she was so unpopular that she thought even her best friend wouldn't tell her. Decided to devote her life to the prevention and cure of rickets to rats. Then someone sent her an ad from a magazine and that was the awakening of Eula. MacFadden. She trotted down town the next day, went through hell and high water, and a fireless cooker, having her waves made permanent and her com- plexion made school girl, But she was justly rewarded when the army chose her for their inspiration. fln case you're wondering, the ad was for a certain brand of lipstickl. BOB RDBERTSON Bob Robertson was born in 1920 in the little hamlet of Tincup Springs, Mo. He got his earlv training as a military leader by being elected head of the militarv division of the local Tough Yeggs Club. During grade school he retained this same official position. Later he went to the North Junior High School and took an active part in their School Boy Patrol. After graduation from North Junior High he entered the Joplin High School and achieved the unusual record of being the shortest Lieutenant Colonel ever given a commission in the high school R. O. T. C. It can truly be said of Mr. Bob Robertson that he was a big thing in a small pa.ckage. 116 We ix usiness With Pleasure l.

Ah, reminiscence, so sweet! Today I have been pondering over my past, my present, my fu- ture and their relativity, and after much contemplation I have arrived at an irrefutable theory about life. Life is such a complex thing with all its cares. Sometimes I wonder about Shakespeare's great question, To be not to be, and its modern corallary. If so, why not ? After all is il: better to be loved or lost? At times I argue with myself about such things, but on these occasions I realize that it is my other self, my dual personal- ity, at work again. But to get back to my theory-it is adequately ex- pressed in these two quaint lines by the famous author, Anonymous: 'Some folks lives is happy, I Some folks lives is gay, But mine, it ain't been either, I guess I'se born that way! 122 ICE REFRIGERATION V Miners Ice 81: Fuel Co.

Poplar Bluff, Mo. 123 Selected Diaries CHARLIE WARDEN My Journal :- Tonight we went out to the Dirty Rat. That's a hole all right. That tin-pan orchestra sure sounded corny. The only two pieces they knew were Boo Hoo and Moonlight and Shadows. Some dame whose hair had been dyed about four different colors--and looked it-croaked away on the choruses. Altogether, my evening wasn't enjoyable-what, with hav- ing th.e air split with her shrieks and being on the floor-not dancing--most of the evening. Some guy who sat next to me stuffing his face with ba- nanas and coneys dropped a banana peel. I was whirling my date around when I stepped on that peeling. All of a sudden, I landed on my back and went skidding across the floor, only to strike my head on a table leg. I must have been well hidden because no one paid any attention to me and I stayed there the rest of the evening, while people walked all over my suit. And I'm the fellow who said nobody could ever walk over mef' MARTHA BELLE GILTNER Dear Diary- Tonight was very dull. We started out racing the fire trucks but lost them when we had a blowout and turned over in a ditch. We waited fully five minutes before someone stopped to take us to get a repair truck. The driver of the car was none other than the ex-heart throb and when he saw whom I was with he threatened to decapitate us both. The evening took on an exciting note then but quickly lost color when the sissy put his razor back in his pocket. JAYNE HAUGHAW OUT My Dearest Diary :- I want to be alone with my thoughts. At last I have found my life's calling. I have decided to give my all to the drama. After considerable reflection and comparison, I have come to the conclusion that I shall be disciple of The Gertrude Stein. For days and days I have tried to capture her inimitable style of writing, and I believe that I have succeeded. Cof- fee in the can, alas. Beaten bran.

JOURNAL OF WENDELL GARRISON-FEBRUARY 30, 1937 Gosh, I wonder what She thinks of me now. I had my first date with HER tonight. For a long time I was simply tongue-tied-couldn't think of a thing to say. I just stammered and gulped. That course I'm taking thru the mail on how to be an interesting conversationalist doesn't seem to help any. I just wonder if maybe I should get me one cf those lines th.e kids have been talking about. Anyway, we had a very exciting evening. After the show we went out to the C and A! ! I would have liked to put my arm around her, but-well, after all, I've only known her three or four months and I d0n't want her to think I'm fast. She's so sort of sweet and simple- that's what I like about her. And would you believe it-I almost said a naughty word right there in front of Her! That was when somebody nearly took the back fender off the car, and I spilled my coke all over myself.

Read on, if you are not par- ticu ar. Mrs. Ellamae Smith-Bain sat looking out of the window of her spacious home. Archie was gone, spring was in he air, flowers bloomed, birds sang, and everyone had colds. But Mrs. Smith-Bain was unhappy, and her heart was restless . . . She rose from the window and hobbled out onto the green lawn to see if Archie was returning, here she perceived Mrs. Abbott, her hair done up on curlers, her hat perched high on her hair. She was walking along with Mr. VVilbur Merry, Podunkville's most eligible bachelor, and was simply gushing all over him. But Mr. Merry, being light-hearted and gay, simply ignored her and assumed a jaunty air. Mrs. Smith-Bain sniffed. She keenly knew how wild that Mrs. Abbott was over men, but to see her going out after Mr. Merry was more than she could stand. Poor Mary Louise! CMary Louise had set her snares for Merry way back in high school daysj. How she 'pitied her. As she walked by, Mr. Merry was thinking that in spite of the fact that Mrs. Smith-Bain knew a lot, she did not know the half of it. For Mr. Merry was keeping a lover's tryst under the old maple tree with Mrs. Ebenstein-Potter I. Mrs. Smith-Bain and Mrs. Ebenstein-Potter I were best of friends, but neither confided very much in the other, so that like Mrs. Giltner-Hamil- ton II, both ,liked to talk of everyone and nothing in particular. Mrs. Smith-Bain did not know of Mrs. Ebenstein-Potter's infatuation. Max Potter passed her CEllamae Smith-Bain, grown tired of Archie, had always had a secret passion for himl and shouted a very abstracted hello to her. Then he turned and looked at Mrs. Pfenning-Payton as she went skimming by in her Dusenberg. Mrs. Smith-Bain smiled a little sadly. She could not go around like them and her husband! That disappointed Archie a great deal. She saw the De Graffs pass by. Mr. De Graff was an enlisted man, but Mrs. De Graff always found solace in the arms of another man. When Mrs. Smith-Bain returned home, her little daughter, Maxine, came tripping in, and threw her school books in the corner. She said that Mr. Greer had told her she was slipping, and that she had to snap out of it. She thought she would go see Mrs. Brown-james' boy, Percival, and see if he would get her economics for her. As she was just getting ready to retire, she observed an argument around a lamp post down the street. Looking closer she saw that it was Mrs. Lamb-Stephenson and Mrs. Myers-Cummings II. This being the last straw, Mrs. Ellamae Smith-Bain crept under the covers, and quickly and mereifully was overcome by wholesome sleep. Archie came in somewhat later. Mrs. Smith-Bain at least, had an easy conscience. 153 ufoqfzap ime Gallops Ahead ..... To 1950 Little Joe Snoozlewoof, a sophomore, comes to school bright and early the first day, ready to give those seniors a scrap for their sheckels. He charges down the hall, successfully knocking two juniors and one p. g. to their pegs and leaving a trace of blood carnage. But after a day, trekking all over school in search of rooms that seem to have been brushed with a bit of vanishing cream, he stumbles homeward feeling more down than up. The second day he buys an elevator 'pass at a greatly reduced price, spends the rest of the day trying to catch up with that elevator. Finally gets wise and utters his first cuss word Che's a big boy now.l Third day he sells the pass to another soph, who is even more unripe. Begins to feel like a wise guy. He is invited to some literary society mixers. He feels like a goldfish after being scrutenized so closely, and decides the food wasn't worth it after all. About the time his irrepressible spirits begin to rise again, he is pledg- ed to one of the said societies. Buttons until he's black and blue in the face. His mother asks him how he lost the button off his shirt-is horri- fied when he growls, jumps on the chandelier and in descending knocks a vase of petunias off the table and thru the window, breaking said win- dow glass. Next day, while carrying a dozen trays in cafeteria, accidentally slips -pays for the dishes. Is finally initiated, but never quite loses that haunt- ed look. Is urged to go out for football, basketball, track, orchestra, band, glee club, Joplimo, Spyglass, debates, oratory and minor organizations. Finally decides R. O. T. C. Thus the wintry months do pass and in the spring-ah yes, a young man's fancy turns to banquets-and sore feet. Solemnly vows he'll never go to another dance without first taking the precaution of wooden shoes. Next year our hero is a junior-ca.n't understand why the sophs are are all so little this year! Gets the part of the butler in the junior class play. Has two lines- gets stage fright, his knees make so much noise nobody can hear him. Makes the basketball teamgsprains his ankle in practice. unable to play in a single game. Remembers the food at the banquet last year. Stays home. And at last our little soph is ready to embark on the last lap of his high school career. Starts ditching Friday mornings-the sneakers are all rightg it's the speech that's getting frayed at the corners after years of hard use. Tuffy Greer has a little talk with him. Learns to sleep in assembly. After getting his class ring and ordering announcements, some- one hints that he probably won't pass. Stricken at the thought of spending another year within these ivy-covered walls, he takes all his books home every night for a week. Final exams-He lays his fate in the hands of the gods, and copies from the girl on his right. ls dazed when he finds out he made an E. and she made an F-copied wrong. By commencement he begins to feel a little misty eyed. Finis at last! But somehow not as glad as he might be. Has his first philosophical mo- ment and decides that life is like that after all. 155 4 - W2 We QW 0,4 6yfAet'7Mid- men of Liberty .... w-I-'lie Printerba says Dickens. is a faithful servant, not only for those connect- ed with the business, but also for the public at large.
