We're trying to win the prizell' Such were the cries and the excitement as those high-spirited juniors made ready for one of the most outstanding events of the year-the junior Play, of course. Many were the events behind the performances on December Z and 3. First there were tryouts-girls' parts to be double cast-announcing of the lucky? ones- practicing began-sleepy 'ittle juniors in class next day! Ho, hum! But we got hardened to it- and so did Miss Sparks. Then there was that hysterical night at Cotter's with the class artists dabbing in poster paint like some primary department-and Miss Arnold holding up pictures and remarking, Oh, isn't that clever! Wonder what we could use that tor? Gee, those teachers got -tired ot our bobbing in and out of their classes at unexpected 1-fmes to distribute circulars and notices! But wasn't it fun? Write-ups tor the paper-Thursday night cast got its picture in the Post-class assembly and Mr. Springer stole the show! Work and work! And- play and play! Shhh! Here's a secret: Bates CFather Malsolml and Gerty and Margaret tMott'er Alicel and all their happy little family just loved to play guessing games at rehearsals whenever they got the chance. Guess you didn't know how Dorothy lFrankiel giggled, how Victor CClaudel tried to be serious on stageg how joe lRogerl blushed every time he tried to kiss Evelyn fFrankiel, who d'dn't want to break her recordg how Zulauf proved that he needed no coaching on how to act crazy. How Norma Louise and Maxine Cmaidsl learned to wail louder and longer every practice. But this was oft the record. Last week! Dress rehearsals! Serious juniors! Last Night! Lights! Curtain! We're oft! And the audience laughed and laughed! HOME ROOM 5 Tcp 'owz H. Belcher, M. Cain, P. Benton, j. Cotter, E. Deckman, N. Eerr, L. Ercnnan, B. Bates, E. Borg- mier, R. Elliott Second Row: E.

He can get his revenge on the class below, And impress on their minds how much they don' And show the class thatis just ahead That he's not as dumb as they once said. But the juniors and seniors still look down Upon a sophomore and frown. They don't stop to think that not long ago They were members of the class below. Then some day the senior student might Regret the criticism he gave with delight, For success in life isn't due to grade But success in the contribution that he l-as made. -NORMA LOUISE H 34 HOMEROOM9?

Those of us who had been members of the band learned far more than music alone. First of all the band was what it was because we loved to play, because we loved to do the things and to take part in the things the band did. We played many concerts, our repertoire ranging from lvlendelssohn's Ruy Bias to Slim Trombone . We marched in many parades from the American Royal to the junior Carnival, and every fall we endeavored to be as entertaining as a band could be on the football field between the halves. We learned the value of co-operation for that was what we built the band on and thru that co-operation we learned to appreciate gOOd music and its composers, we learned to play it correctly and to know when it was being correctly played when we heard other organizations play. We knew we learned music for many winning district, state, and national solo contestants were members of our band. The band won a first rating in the North Kansas City contest every year, placed twice in first division in the district and state, and won a similar rating at the regional-national contest at Lawrence, Kansas. mf!

MISS LIDA WARRICK, Director Gut of the Past and the Present we will shape the songs of Our Time Song has always been a universal means for the expression of feelings and ideas. Thus, using the song as a medium for group. as well as self-expression, the members of the Mixed Chorus discovered a margin of time for the enjoyment of the beautiful through participation in group singing and the study of music appreciation, Beginning with the study of s'mple song-form as found in the folk music of all nations and continuing through the development of art music, as found in the madrigals and songs of Gibbons, Benn ett, Praetorius, and Purcell, to the great sacred compositions ol Bach, l-landel, and Palestrina, each student came into possession of a rich store of fine music from the vast wealth of vocal lite-rafurg, The study of music appreciation by the Mixed Chorus applied not only to the music sung by the chorus but also to the music available through the use of records and the radio. Radio broadcasts of the opera and various musical programs of outstanding artists and music organizations were listened to and discussed as part of the music-study of the chorus. The culmination of the work of the chorus was reached in its participation in school and community activities, 44 Ai B. P. M. M.

The Student Council of the North Kansas City High School was an active organization of twenty members. These twenty members were selected from the six classes of the entire school. Student problems were brought before the council and discussed in an effort to find a solution. The hall monitors, an efficient body of workers, were supervised by a captain selected from the Student Council The president of the Student Council was also the president of the student body. This was a respon- sible position and was filled this school year by Robert Bray and W. H. Smith. Their assistants were Clair Miller and Kenneth Elliott Miss Amelia Keller was the sponsor of the Student Council. The Girl Reserves ot the Senior High School had one of the most successful years in the history ot the club. One hundred and forty members stayed with the club throughout the year and worked for its betterment. The program this year was planned on the triangle plan of organization in order that more girls might k PBffiClDafe in The programs of the club.

In the third quarter North Kansas City seized advantage of two Liberty fumbles and made its only touchdown of the game. Bob Troutz's alertness in following a loose ball paved the way to this victory. ln the second home game of the season, North Kansas City easily defeated the red and black Hornets of Chillicothe, 26-to-O. Vernon Short partly blocked a Chillicothe punt in the first period. This led the way to the first touchdown. By recovering the only fumble of the game in the second quarter, North Kansas City was enabled to march 46 yards to a second touchdown. The third and fourth touchdowns were scored in the third quarter f Scoring a field goal in the last minute and a half of play, the Hornets defeated the Cardinals of Ben- ton High School, St. loseph, October 28. ln this game on Benton's dusty.. gridiron, the Hornets reached their peak. The line in this game smothered the opposition and repeatedly outcharged the Benton forward wall. Ray Bratcher was the hitherto unsung hero in the Hornets' line in this game while Lester Ross, who placekicked the field goal, shared honors with him. Before this game the Cardinals were undefeated. The Hornets defeated William Chrisman by a i2-to-7 score the following week. On the first play from scrimmage in the game, Bob Gann, racing through one of those holes in the right side of the line that coaches dream about behind perfect interference, streaked 76 yards to a touchdown. Paul jameson and LeRoy Brophy opened the hole. The try for point failed. Not daunted, William Chrisman did a little scoring on its own account and went ahead b a 7 to-6 score. North Kansas Cit made its second touchdown in the second period. Y Y . The following week North Kansas City defeated Shawnee-Mission High School in the Greater Kansas City Conference championship game, i4-to-l2. A hidden-ball play brought about the-'win After using the set-up play around right end three times, the trick play was brought out Lester Ross handed the ball to Parker Benton who gave it to LeRoy Brophy. The backfield, went around right end just as they had when the set-up play was used. Then Shawnee-Mission ball-carrier had gone around left end and was nearing the goal-line. Brophy was tackled on Ross went over for the touchdown. ln the final game of the season, the Hornets defeated Higginsville by a l3-to-O score. The contest, played on a freezing night, was rather drab and uninteresting although it marked North Kansas City's ninth consecutive victory of the year.

What ls tho futuro of Electricity? The marvels of electricity a half century ago were little known. Perhaps in just a few years future generations will be saying that about 1939. But these new developments will only come with the welding of long range planning, research, large monetory expenditures and skilled man power into one closely knit unity. The wise expenditure of labor, time, and money has enabled this Company to meet the demands of this growing community for electric energy and the building of an adequate reservoir for future growth. This is shown by the present capital investment of approximately ninety-seven million dollars and the employment of more than two thousand skilled employees. Research is constantly going on to increase the efficiency and to extend the helpfulness of electricity in all phases of life. And because of this desire and readiness of investor owned electric service companies to delve into the unknown, electricity is helping increase the span of life, reduce human drudg- ery and make living more worth while.
