KEcKLER, DALLAS PULLIAM ff YXLTT ecretary Supervisor of Custodian 5 I i f,!cf Maintenance L, The Faculty The strength of the North Kansas City High School faculty might well be l'k d i ene to the strength of a mighty tree. For the trunk of this giant tree, we have among us forty-seven different college and university degrees. To further strengthen the base, we have been to colleges and universities for one hundred and forty-seven years, and we have taught school for three hundred and twenty-six years. A power- ful base to be sure! The branches of this vast tree might be those which have grown as we worked in North Kansas City High School. We have taught in this school for one hundred and sixty-one years, and the vast number ot subjects which are offered to our students is evidence of the many fields of learning which we have pursued in order that the br h f ' anc es o learning may grow strong under our tutelage. l2 LIDA WARRICK, B.

DEC. jAN. FEB. APRIL I-The senior boys entertain on the stage at the Music and MAY MAY MAY MAY COLORS Blue and Silver- MOTTO In ourselves our future lies. Excerpts from a Senior's Diary 7-I-lere it is the first day of school and I am at last a senior! Such a thrill as I get when I take a place in the senior section in assembly, and how important I shall feel when the juniors, sophomores and even the freshmen must wait until I march out of the auditorium. I can't help believing this year is going to be important and interesting. l5+Members of the Owl Staff go to K. U. to learn the art of publishing a school paper and an annual. In the evening they attend a banquet where they display all their company manners about loaf sugar and other things. As they are hurrying to the cars to come home, they' are delayed by the K. U. pajama parade before the Iowa and K. U. game. I believe l'll go to K. U. and take a course in parades. Indeed, this has been an eventful day. Miss Keller, Mada Denny, and Bill Herod have attended a student council convention in St. joseph. IO-The seniors very successfully sponsor the first beginners' dance in the girls' gym-Since Kathryn Duffey will teach the Big Apple at the dance, she considers herself almost as important as Mrs. Roosevelt who is just leaving on her southern trip. ' 26-Why must I display my lack of brain power by taking an M. U. apitude test? Virginia Lee Chappell makes the highest score, and l'll never tell who made the lowest score. I8-Today has been another eventful day. The Owl campaign comes to a close with Edna Mae Delving, a senior, chosen for our class queen of the year book. Despite the snow storm, there is a large And this same day we learn that Harriet Harris and Mildred crowd at the second beginners' dance sponsored by the seniors. Hall win in the William jewell beauty contest. Speech festival, g-6-Our class gives Stage Door for the annual senior class play-Although it has been a lot of work, it has been a lot of fun, too. 7-What a joyful feeling it is to have the juniors entertain us and not have to toil decorating the g m ai d y 1 doing a million other things. Can we seniors ever forget the banquet with all the pretty girls, the deli- cious food and, the loads of fun? Who said banquets are too formal and dull? I5-The caps and gowns at the baccalaureate service not only give us a feeling of im ort D ance, but also enhance our importance and dignity, even if the dignity is assumed for the occasion lsn't it h - a s ame those gowns are so beastly hot ? 20--Graduation and the possession of a signed diploma bring a happy year to a close. How the other seniors and I have struggled trying to bluff the teachers and working to get out of work in order to ob- tain a diplonwa---What price a diploma! I4
