Memories dear to us, not because of some exalteclyrnoments of delight or glory, of reward or good fortune, but because these are the reminders of a past which belongs only to ourselves and our generation. A Yes, when todayhas passed into yesterday, and all of the countless yesterdays seem to fade far, far into the past, the shining days of our youth, of love, vigor and strength which was within us, again kindle the flame of inspiration. It has been our desire, as the Spectator Staff of 1950, to give to you after many months of purposeful effort, an album in which we have treasured for you the activities and aspirations of the past year. Perhaps to us, as Seniors, this volume will be a more priceless possession than to those whom we leave behind. But if we have given them something, which in the years to come will make each one feel that indeed, this year of -1950 is one of his best loved memories, then we have not failed in our utmost purpose in presenting this Spectator. ,lf X v V Q .

Liberty High School, like every other institution of knowledge, has many varied business and executive responsibilities, which rest in the hands of a Board of Education. The Board consists of severalcapable Libertybusiness- men who have proved themselves interested in our school and our futures. This year has completed Mr. J.C. McCartney's third year as president of the Board. During this time many improvements have been noticeable at L.H.S. We owe a great deal of appreciation and gratitude to the Board of Edu- cation for an excellent staff of teachers, and for the inspiration they have given us during their years of service through representation and administration. Mrs. Kate Evans has for three years splendidly served as secretary to the Board. To these, our friends, we say, 'Thank you, for a job w.ell donel' Compliments of Howard C. Chrisman I 4 ':.

Julian Bemiss Bill Crouch George Alison Kay Carr President Vice President Treasurer Secretary Since 1938, when the Student Council, as a governing body, was first instigated at Liberty High School, the ideals and purposes of this group have changed to fit the needs and desires of today. Its program has widened and its duties have grown tremendously. Among the varied activities are welfare and community projects, the sponsoring of Homecoming, St. Valentine's Dance, and other tasks which improve the school, its facilities, its ideals and traditions, historic and scholastic. Student Council officers are elected annually by the student body from student selected candidates. The remaining council members are representatives of each homeroom. The representatives are the voice carrying the desires from the students to the council, or from the council to the students.

Brock has so unself- ishly given during the past thirteen years as Superintendent. Each year of service has added respect and confidence on the part of the students, faculty, and parents, forthecom- mendable performance of Mr. Brock in his official capacity. Not only has Mr. Brock fostered co-operation at Liberty High School, but his helpful influence has been felt in state-wide educational groups. Our Superintendent has made us proud of the ideals and traditions of Liberty High School, proud of the virtues we have admired in him and especially proud of the kind and thoughtful consideration which he has continually shown each and every student. May the coming years show unabated progress in the field of education for the public schools of Liberty under the leadership of Superintendent Brock.

Thus echoed the call in those days previewing the coming of our new prin- cipal in the fall in l947. Truly, there have been numerous important changes during the three years that James A. Painter has success- fully weathered the storms at L.H.S. Always, through thick and thin, Mr. Painter has emerged with his smile of en- couragement and patient understanding. The students feel perfectly free to engage in serious consultations concerning important happenings or decisions with Friendly Jim , knowing that from him they will de- rive honest, straightforward advice that will help them reach their ultimate goal. Mr. Painter harbors a great deal of optimism for the coming years at L.H.S. and imparts this feeling in the typical J.P. manner to the members of the faculty and the students. We are proud to congratulate Mr. Painter now, at the close of his third memorable term as principal of our high school. We hope that the success which has characterized the past will continue to brighten the future.

We have tried to bring you as much of the year of 1949-1950 as was possible, producing the things you wanted in a new and original way. Our hardest problem, as is everyone's, was earning the money. Even though our ublishers and photographers have raised prices on us, we have kept the price ofthe P book the same to you, and worked extra hard at our projects, to make up the difference. Our main source is selling the book to you. Then we sell advertising to the local mer- chants and have concessions at football and basketball games. Every member of the staff has worked hard in one or all of these projects so that we could meet our budget. We plan on entering this in the State contest for yearbooks in August of 1950. If criticism is all we receive we do hope that the future staffs profit by our mistakes. But we do sincerely hope to make you proud to have and to show the 1950 Spectator, FRON' Kay C Shirley West, OND Bill J Bill Durie. or 6 6 5234.01 Lomeiesglclef AI' wer 1 Qt-he 1-ml!!! 5 own B oapw ?h0tO gr 5 , . svongor 5 taco X swoqe.

This year has seen many decided changes and improvements in the organization and operation of the Liberty Bell Staff in its efforts to compile a school paper which will satisfy the needs and wants of the faculty, the students and their parents, and give a typical view of life at L.H.S. The task has been a difficult one, de- manding a goodly portion of time and attention on the part of the editors, their able assistants, and faculty advisors. The result of their tireless efforts has been the satisfaction of achievement--a fine school paper, an example of dexterity, of which we may all be proud. Missouri Gas and Electric Service Company 35 l CIFFTCA STHFF Boy do they have a soft job. That's what most people, except those who work there, say about the office staff. But really it is anything but easy, lf you collected attendance slips andmarked up absentees, wrote out absent and tardy excuses, tried to run a lost and found department, sold books, pencils and other supplies, day after day with everyone wanting service first, really it is exasperating.

Those duties listed above along with, answering the phone, taking messages, typing the teach- ers tests lwhen they all are in a hurryl, fixing grade cards, trying to get out a daily bulletin with people bringing in last minute announcements and everyone try- ing to read it before homeroom, are SOME of the jobs of the office staff.

Mr. J. W. Hollis agreed to discontinue teaching biology and take charge of this program. He counselled with the seniors to see ifthey had the required number of credits to graduate, and to the under-classmen to see just what subjects they wanted to take in future years. He started sending for information from the different colleges to offer the students some idea of where they would like to go and the requirements necessary for enter- ing. A filing system of occupational infor- mation was started so that the students could read about their choice of vocation and how to get jobs. The Guidance program has developed so rapidly that he now has Mrs. Hollis helping to counsel the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth graders, Miss Johnson counselling the seventh, eighth, and ninth graders, and Mr. Holt assisting too. This year Mr. Hollis not only helps with all of these jobs but his work has taken him to the Elementary and Garrison Schools of Liberty. The counselors not only aid students with school problems, but also with any other difficulties that loom on their hori- zons. Even parents feel free to ask in what way they can help their children at home. So much good has been accomplished by the Guidance work, that it hasbecome a permanent and valuable addition to the Liberty High School curriculum. A grateful Thank you to you of the Guidance Committee and truly to you, Mr. Hollis, for smoothing the wrinkles for the Liberty School Students.

HH Did you ever get your narne on the little list, at the end of aquar- ter, saying you could not get your grade cards because you had a library book overdue? Well, may- be one of the smiling angels pic- tured above turned your name in. Nevertheless these kids really keep the library buzzing under the very capable guidance ofMrs. Hen- derson, the librarian. She has worked hard to bring all of the latest books to our shelves and provide really top-notch reading for the student body. She had worked extra late lots of nights to fix up the new book shelves attractively for you. For her hard and unceasing work, not only in keeping the library up to date and easy to use, but in the study hall too, we sincerely thank you, Mrs. Henderson. fffiofwff l'y1ass,ey',ss'Cafe T ,I f 'R K ,P ' 'Nf A wJ A X ff ip!

It arranges a variety of good pro- grams and speakers for the entire year. The committee is made up of the Presi- dent of Student Council, two seniors, one junior, one sophomore, the dramatics teacher, the two music teachers, the prin- cipal and the chairman, Mr. Moore. The sophomore and the juniors stay on from year to year and a new senior and sopho- more are added. For the past two years they have tried something new, exchange assemblies. The secretary writes to neighboring schools and asks them to present an assemblyhere, then we in turn take our talent- there. So far, this idea has been a great success. Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter, one of the local ministers delivers the speech. Then usually the high light of the year is when the faculty puts on the show. All in all, most of us do not realize what a thankless job they really have. So right now we thank each one for helping to make our school years successful.

Miss Margaret Rust is the ve ry capable leader of our glee clubs and under her direction, they have hadmarked success. Last year at Maryville in the District Music Contest, our glee club received a high rating, entitling it to participate in the state contest at Columbia, whe re it was rated as one of the outstanding clubs in the competition. This was very commendable, since this was the first year Miss Rust was our director. Among the groups entered from Liberty High Schoolwere the: Boys' Quartette, Girls ' Quartette , Girls' Trio, Girls' Sextette , Double Mixed Quartette , Girls ' Glee Club, Boys ' Glee Club, and Mixed Chorus. The Senior High Chorus has made a number of appearances at the high school assemblies, before such localcivic clubs as the LibertyRotary Club, the Fortnightly Study Club, P.T.A., and at the Go-To-School night program. It has participated in the worship services of some of the local churches, and at Christnmas time this chorus presented the Cantata, 'The Babe of Bethlehem, whichwas well received. The Junior I-lighSchoolChorus has also been active, and has made several appearances. The officers of the Senior High Group are: President, Etha Overstreetg Vice President, Ted Bell, Secretary, Loretta McDonald. Mr. ClintonManess came to us this year as director of our band and has already presented Liberty High Schoolwith one of the be st bands it has had in a long time. The band was rated ahigh Excellent inthe Districtcompetition at Maryville lastyear, sowe are really looking forward toa 'Superior' rating this year. Besides playing for all the home football games of Liberty High, the band traveled with the team to North Kansas City and Excelsior Springs. It alsoplayed for two of William Iewell's home games, including their homecoming. The band officers are: President, Martha Chrismang Vice President, Lucille Moore, Secretary, Louise Moore. This year the music department has set up a point system whereby letters may be earned. A thousand points mustbe earned over the three-year period to entitle amember of the band, or glee club, to a letter, which will be presented at the end of the junior year, as allletters must be earned during the first three years in high schooll Liberty High School has a music department of which it can truly be proud.

The program was under the leadership of the student council and its well organized activities were a great asset to the day. Classes were dismissed in order to work on the floats, as all floats this year were constructed in secret. V Lined up in backof the high school tor the parade were eight beautiful tloats all por- traying the anticipated defeat of Richmond High School. The parade got underway at two o'cIock with the cheerleaders leading the student body in o snake dance downtown to the court house steps. There Julian Bemiss, Master of Ceremonies, called for several yells by the group led by the cheerleaders. The high school and grade school bands were both pref sent. By their marching and playing,they added much color and pageantry to the occasion. The 1949 queen and her two attendants were chosen by thermembers ot the Football team.They are as tollows: Queen--Shirley Pixlee, who was crowned by Jim Williams, Co- Captain of the team. Attendants--Rosemary Todd, crowned by Sam Clevenger, end Martha Yancey, crowned by Bob Harrison, alsoa Co-Captain. The queen and her attendants reigned over the remaining activities of the day in royal fashion. Pep talks were given by several' if ot the townspeople and alumni of Liberty High School. These gave the student body a bright outlook toward the big game of the year. y, s The first place trophy for the best float went to the Senior Class with the title We'll Blow 'Em Sky High. The second place winner was the Freshman Class float with Rich- mond Take Your lviedicine as their theme. Third place was awarded to the Junior Class with Blow 'Em Out. A ' At the game the Blueiays put up a good fight, but the Spartans werea little bit strong- er than our boys, the iinal score being 27-20. The Horrecomin dance climaxed the activities of the day lt was held in the Flemen- Q o - tary School Gym, which was decorated very beautifully in tall colors, while the Modern- aires furnished the music. Thus ended the Homecoming of 1949. Compliments of Mitche11's Barber Shop. 'fi I f 4 sf l ff 5 f f seq ' 3, fi Q -5' gg . K . VV as W 'yi ,A ,.

Everyone is always very interested and excited about this one because the Popularity King and Queen, and At- tendants .are crowned. Each student votes for the boy and girl that he or she thinks is the most popular in school. Until the actual time of the crowning no one, except the faculty sponsors, knows the results. Since the elections are usually veryclose,the next twoboys and two girls withthe highest nuniber of votes reign as attendants. This year everyones' anxiety was prolonged because there was a basketball game before the dance.After the game everyone went to Teen Townfor the big event. The crowning took place before a capacity crowd and then dancing for several hours ended a very successful evening. 67 LIUNMR PLFW ,.,,,,,,,,,c,t,,.,,,:,,,.......2.,-5,..,,,,.:,,.,.,,.. :muw-ff,,,a - -...n-1,v-.,'-.nv-i-f,-,.- . ,-A, Jumping Jewels was presented February Z, 1950 in the Liberty High School Auditorium before a capacity audience. lt was under the direction of Mrs. Guy Ranson, who teaches Speech and Dramatics, and was her first presentation of the year. The setting for the play took place in the I-louse-in-the-Hollow, which was a small town tourist hotel on United States Highway No. 1. The plot centered around an antique painting owned by the Scotts, some stolen pearls hidden behind the painting, and some mixed up love notes, also hidden in that spot. The set of stolen jewels manages to get around rather swiftly and before the evening was over, they have landed on nearly everyone in the cast. Alan Scott, an easy-going, pleasant fellow in his late forties, was portrayed by Russell Aubrey. Ethel Scott, his ever-loving wife, was played by Patsy Schutty, Lucy Scott, an attractive teenager and also their daughter, was Martha Yancey and John Rogers portrayed her rich, but gentlemanly and ardent boy friend, Ritchie Griswold. Ritchie 's sister,.Diana was played by Kay Carr. William Griswold, a gentleman in his early fifties, somewhat overburdened with wealth and a pair of healthy children, was Bill Crouch. Burke Stacy, a city bred fellow engaged to marry Diana, was ably character- ized by Leon Miller. Suzanne Pence as Hazel Parson, provided a bit of excitement as the cold and shifty guest of the hotel. An outstanding comedy part was played by Mary Happy, as Fanny the maid. She was assisted by Donald Mather as the local Irish taxidriver. Ragene Hawkins, playing the part of Stanley Castle, and Maxine Wheeler as Linda Rogers also added spice to the play as two art dealers who were guests at House-i-n-the-Hollow.T' It was a creditable and successful performance--certainly one that will not soon be forgotten.

The Bluejays lost the contest l3 to 7, with Bill Mason scoring in the final period. The Bluejays suffered two other major losses by a disability of the two starting ends, Dick Rees and Ted Teegarden. The next week the Liberty team traveled to Lexington, where they were again handed a conference defeat by a score of l3 to O. The Lexington Minutemen scored four times during the game, but two touchdowns were recalled due to Lexington penalties. The Bluejays met their old traditional rivals, the North Town Hornets on the latter's field for their Homecoming game. This was our last game with North Town as the contract expired this year. We played one of our best games against the Hornets, holding them 7 to O at the end of the first half, but due to North Town's ability to substitute at will, they defeated a tired Liberty eleven by the score of 25 to 7. Liberty moved to Slater for the third conference game of the year, and again came out on the lower end by the score of 20 to 7 with Orbon McMillian scoring our only touchdown. Liberty's Homecoming game was with the Richmond Spartans. The game got off to a poor start with Richmond taking a 20 to O lead at the half, but the Bluejays, not to be outdone at Homecoming, started off the second half by scoring on the opening play with a pass from Horrell to Rohrs. Although Liberty lost the game they scored 20 points to the opponents 7. Final score, Richmond 27, Liberty 20. Then Liberty again moved away from home to meet their old conference rivals, the Excelsior Springs Tigers, for the latter's Homecoming game. We were defeated by the score of 33 to O by a superior team, later to become conference champions. Dick Rees returned to action this game, by playing a large amount of the third and fourth periods. Liberty again played away from home on the Higginsville gridiron. Liberty won their first conference contest by defeating the Higginsville eleven by the score of 27 to 20, with George Horrell and Orbon McMillian taking scoring honors, and Sam Clevenger converting the extra points. -, Liberty next played host to the Marshall Owls, and taking their second conference victory by a score of l3 to O, with Orbon McMillian again taking scoring honors on two broken field runs. Liberty played their best defensive game holding the Owls scoreless the entire game, the only time this season having held a team scoreless. For the final game of the season the Bluejays played host to the Cameron Dragons. This was probably the most exciting game of the season, with the Dragons taking the victory by the score of 14 to l2 with Liberty failing to convert their extra points. Both touchdowns were scored by passes from .Tim Williams to George Horrell. Thus bringing the season of 1949 to a close. Best Wishes From Carder's Funeral Home. 72 . ri 1 51- fe s-SQQA cY in A si?

BHSKETBFICC '50 ' The L.H.S. Bluejays have had an excellent season with 16 wins and5 losses out of the twenty-one games played. The Bluejays started out its winning streak in the William .Tewell lnvitational Tournament by downing Plattsburg 44 to 24, North Kansas City 35 to 28, then loosing to Lillis of Kansas City 46 to 35, then rallying once more to defeat Kansas City Center in a very exciting game 39 to 38 putting us in third place. At the Smithville Tournament we humbled Plattsburg again, this time by a score of 60 to 28. Then we overcame Lathrop 55 to 33 which set us in the finals against Platte City. The Jays came out on the top of the 47 to 19 score giving them first place. The regularly scheduled se-ason started with the quintette meeting Lees Summit and easily winning by the score of 63 to 41. 0ur first defeat of the regular season came when we met Raytown on our own court and dropped a 43 to 39 decision. The next two games on our schedule were both away first with Smithville and then Cameron, defeating them 54 to 31, and 54 to 28 respectively. Lexington, in an important conference game, stopped the Jays 41 to 34. Excelsior Springs, the old rival, was turned back in an exciting game, 42 to 29. Our second game with North Kansas City ended with the defeat of the Liberty Cagers 43 to 34. ln the next three games, Liberty had no trouble in defeating their opponents. The scores being Liberty 41, Slater 333.Liberty 65, Lexington 333 and Liberty 39, Richmond 26. The following games were the closest of the season. The Carrollton episode, played on their court, finished with another win in the Bluejay column with the score of 55 to 54. An important decision in the MRVC was reached when the Jays dropped a, closey with two overtimes, to Marshall 63 to 61. Cameron and Higginsville comprised the competition for the following games with the Bluejays. We beat the former 60 to 47, and the latter 51 to 36. The third time meeting North Kansas City resulted in another defeat for the Jays. For awhile it looked as though we might triumph but the thriller ended 48 to 43 in favor of NKC. We have one final game to play with Excelsior Springs and we hope to over shadow them once again. Thus the curtain on the 1950 basketball season once again is drawn.

Everyone must have one unit of credit to graduate and so must take some sort of physical education every year. Both, Coaches Cokely and Eskridge, teach the boys' gym classes, During the regular football season all classes play football, so even if they don't make the school -team they learn the fundamentals. The same is done during the basketball season. When the bad weather comes they have a variety of indoor sports. Miss Bluhm, the girls' physical education teacher, has a well rounded program for the girls. ln the fall when the days are nice, baseball is played. Then as it ets cold and bad outside theyturn to volleyball, kickball, stunts and S basketball, ln the spring the girls go back outdoors to play baseball and do some track events. . . a These intramural sports are good not only because it gives everyone chance to play in the different sports, but it teaches leadership, co-operation and team work.

This is the second year for a girls' basketball team.composed of Liberty High School girls. Although the teamis not sponsored by the high school, all of the girls are very enthusiastic and interested in playing. The girls are organized as The Girls' Basketball Club with GretchenDefabaugh, President, Lucille Moore, Vice President, Jerry Pollard, Secretary and Treasurer, and Louise Moore, Publicity Chairman. Miss Bluhm is the coach and Emmy Lou Ferril was manager last year and this year, until she joined the team as a guard. Thus far four games have been played, with one win and three losses. ln the Smithville Tournament, the first tournament they had ever played in, the girls played two games. The first night they played Platte City. This was their first game of the season, and being a little scared, and initiating all new guards, the Liberty sextette couldn't Seem ta get around Platte City, and so lost 71 to 63. The next night they played their old foe, Smithville. Although Liberty played better than they had the previous night, Smithville played just a little bit better, and so we came out on the wrong end of the heart breaking score of 64 to 63. The best game played thus far with the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority, from William Jewell College here in Liberty, when the High School triumphed 34 to 27. The team spiritis terrific and the girls should be back in the winning column once again. Congratulations to the Senior Class of 1950 and Best Wishes for the Building of Your Future--Glenn Cr.
