Young Class of 1950 Page 5 Page 6 FGRWARD May a glimpse into the pages of this book recall to you the many privileges, pastimes, and pleasures which you have had during this past year in Smith-Cotton High School. May the spirit with which the Student's Creed has been given each morning be remembered, and inspire you to maintain the high ideals professed in repeating: I believe in honest work, in generous comradeship, in the courage of high convictions. I believe in the inspiration that comes from contact with all that is truest and best, in books, in people, in life. I believe in loyalty to our high school, the fostering mother of these ideals, and I pledge her my allegi- ance in all her undertakings, in all that Wlll make her a stronger and nobler school. DEDICATION To the students of this school who will soon take their places as the leaders of tomorrow in 21 world ever dependent upon its youth to work courageously and unfalteringly toward an everlasting peace, we dedicate this volume of the Archives. Page 7 Page 8 THIS IS SMITI-I-COTTON When I think of Smith-Cotton, I think not of just another school, But of one whose beauty and ideals Make her outstanding. I think of her beauty, the long green lawns, The ivy that grows on her walls In the summer. I think of the ideals which she teaches mc, Love of my fellow men, courage, The inspiration to make the coming years sueeessfulg I think of the opportunities she offers me, Opportunities for friendship, for pleasure, for learning And always, when I have such thoughts as these, I say proudly to myself, f I'his is Smith-Cotton.

SENIOR OFFICERS llarrell Swift, Presidentg Ierry Gates, Secretary-Treasurerg Miss Angle and Mr. Sillers, Sponsorsg Gene '1erry, Reporterg Mary Io Vilmer, Vice-President SENIOR CLASS VVC, the future citizens of our country and the seniors of '46, are proud to go forth with the qualities gained at Smith-Cotton to help us. We are indeed luckier than the preceding classes because we have had more opportunities and more facilities with which to prove our skills in various fields of study and extra-curricular activities. We are saddened to leave Smith- Cotton for she holds many memories which can not be forgotten. Some of our happiest and best years have been spent within her walls. VVe are proud of our accomplishments. VVC have tried hard to win, but when we lost we didnt give up. During this year and the previous one many of our class have entered the services of our country. NVe salute their patriotism and hope for their safe and speedy return, Although we did not give them a rousing send-off, we want them to know through this annual, thai we wish them the best of luck in Uncle Sam's armed forces. XVC hope that we will not be forgotten by Smith-Cottong we can never forget the lessons we have learned nor the eomradeship shown us by both teachers and pupils. In the l945 Archives we seniors stated, f'VVe hope to erect monuments in the form of character that will stand the test of time and that will work for everlasting good. VVC feel that we, the seniors, with the help of our teachers and sponsors, have achieved our goal in our Alma Mater, Smith-Cotton.

JUNIOR CLASS VVc're the mighty juniors VVe're really on the beamg In everything we do VVe're on a fighting team. VVC all work hard and fair VVC have no earthly fearg And if we do not win NVQ do not stand and sneer. XVe're good losers, VVc're good winners, NVe're not old timers, VVe're not beginners. NVc're glad to be called juniors, VVC proudly say the nameg And when you are a junior W'e hope you'll feel the same. The Iunior class under the leadership of our officers and our two sponsors, Miss Swear- ingen and Miss Sanders, has had a very enjoyable year. Though we have not been winners, we have been good workers in each contest of the year. VVe sponsored a movie most success- fully. VVC entertained the seniors with a Iunior-Senior Prom. The junior boys have been outstanding members of the various athletic teams of our school. Now we look forward with eagerness to our final year in Smith-Cotton.

Anyway that is one way of explaining my mistake. POEM I never go with High School girls I never make a date, I'm never fussing on the quad Or saying AAiu't love great. I never take one to a dance The reason's plain to see I never go with girls because The girls won't go with me.

SOPI-IOMORE CLASS Class of '48 - thats us - we hope! The faculty seems bound and determined to make us the class of '58, but we manage to throw our weight around quite a bit in spite of 'em. Throw our weight around? Certainly. For instance, along about the first of every year, that free-for-all known as the activity ticket drive takes place. This year, everyone said the sophomores fyou guessed it - thats us!j would win. Well, at least the sophomores said it - and it must be admitted that we gave the seniors a mad race. Cf course the seniors won. That's a Smith-Cotton institution, just like Hllail Alma Mater. That was just a minor setback, however, and by the time the P. T. A. membership drive rolled around, we were rarin' to go. VVho won the P. T. A. membership drive? The sophomores naturally. We've had our share of queens, too. VVhorn did the football boys elect as their Ilomc- eoming Queen? Eighth grader? Freshman? Iunior? Senior? No! A sophomore, our own Betty Rice. The Teen-Town Queen is a sophomore, too - Beryl Evans. VVho makes the biggest noise in the Rhythmaires, next to Britt? Sophomores! VVho caused Smith-Cotton to lose ninety-nine percent of her football games? Not sophomores! VVho scores the baskets that win our games fnext to juniors and seniorsl? Sophomores! NVe're O. K., I guess. W'e think so, anyway, and if we don't think so who will?

Our queen section this year is especially attractive for we had excellent material. The first glimpse of royalty is Maurine Scruton, senior, who was chosen Archives Queen in an all-school election at the last queen election of the year. The Archives Dance was held in her honor on january 25, at Convention Hall. At this time, the yearbook girl re- ceived her crown from the Archives Editor, jean Hulse, in the presence of a large crowd of dancers -and spectators. Her attendants, runners-up in the contest, were Betty Nell Anderson and Virginia Berry, both from the senior class. The animal staff, as well as the school, is equally proud of all three. View number two is of the Homecoming Queen. Gracing the throne for this annual event was Betty Rice, sophomore, selected by the Tiger Football Team. Preceding the game and dance that night in her honor, Betty led an all-school parade down Ohio Street in an open car. Her two attendants were Rosalie Marshall from the senior class and Margaret Liming from the junior class. The Activity Queen is chosen from five beauties, representing each class and furn- ishing stiff competition for all. With the election of this queen Smith-Cotton held one of its closest elections, but the seniors finally came forth as first place winners in the ticket sale contest and crowned their queen, Mary lo Vilmer. Unfit weather forced the coronation to take place at Convention Hall instead of on the football field as was previously scheduled. Mary jo's attendants were: Betty Rice, representing the sophomore class, which placed second in the drive, Ioann Schott, candidate of the junior class, Patty Edwards, of the freshman class, and Mimi Hale, representing the eight grade class. Following the football Same, the first dance of the year, the Coronation Dance, was held in honor of Queen V ilmer. The Senior Queen is chosen each year by the members of her class, to represent that class and reign as their queen for the ensuing year. At the end of the year the senior queen bestows her power and the symbol of her reign on the junior queen at the annual Candlelight Service held in the school auditorium. Mary Io Vilmer was chosen to represent the senior class for the second year, thus proving her popularity in the eyes of the students. The runners-up in this election were Maurine Scruton and Virginia Berry, who served as her at- tendants at the Candlelight Service. This was, as usual, a solemn and lovely affair carried out well by all those who participated. VVe have proudly presented to you the girls who were chosen to reign over our Smith- Cotton activities for this year. We extend our thanks to each of these queens and their attendants for helping to make 1946 complete by their presence at our special occasions. Page 50 BGGJT EIVKJ F Betty Anderson President of Senior Council Kenneth Hunt Vice-President of Senior Council SENIOR STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council of Smith-Cotton High School is the central organization through which the will of the student body is expressed. It trains the student for citizenship and for participation in school government. This year we have introduced many changes in the general plan of the organization in order that the work may be carried on more efficiently. Our first important change was to put the Student Council on a percentage basis in order that the upper elassinen would hold a majority in the Council. The Council, which is composed of home-room presidents, class presidents, and members-at-large, consists of fifty percent seniors, thirty percent juniors, and twenty percent sophomores. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF SENIOR COUNCIL Back row: Richard Brown, Parlimentarian: Bud Roe, Treasurerg Harrell Swift, Sergeant-at-arms: Marilyn Morris, Reporter. Front row: Jean Hulse, Secretary: Betty Anderson, President: Kenneth Hunt, Vice- President. Page 52 There were several committees appointed at the begiiming ofwthe year. Among those that were set up are the building, campus, safety, tardy. and newcomers committees. 'l'heir sue cess has been marked throughout the entire year. The Council has introduced a campaign to eliminate tardies and lessen the nuinher of absences. XVe intend to keep the campaign going until the students are thoroughly conf scious of the necessity for prompt and regular attendance at school. VVe sponsored the annual lntra-Mural Plays, given in the school auditorium. A loving cup was given to Eugene llargrove as the best actor, and a placque vvas given to the senior class which presented the best play. Our annual banquet took place after the annual election of the president of the Council. All members who had served at anv time on the council were there. 'llhe officers of the Student Council belong to the part of the Council called the Executive Board. lt acts as a clearing house since the problems concerning the Council are first brought to the Executive Board, discussed with the members, and then, in turn, forwarded to the entire organization to be voted on by the members. Throughout the entire year we have endeavored to transact the business of the student body in as systematic and effective a way as possible. VVe attribute any success which we have had to the splendid co-operation of the student body as a vvholc in every more ment forwarded by the Student Council.

This is quoted from the beginning of the Spiz Club constitution and tells exactly what we try to do. This year the Spiz has sponsored for the students' entertainment, the Cornation Dance and the llomecoming Dance. To earn money to finance our activities we have sponsored a movie and have sold, at the noon hour, all sorts of edible items to the hungry mob of our school. To show our sportmanship we have produced some excellent pep assemblies for our football and basketball tcamsg and, as have all Spiz members before us, we have served refresh- ments to our teams and their vistors after each game. XVe wish to express our gratitude to our sponsors, Miss AudreySalzer, Miss Marie Larkin, and Mrs. Arthur llenze. The Club was very sorry to lose Mrs. llenze at her resignation from the faculty of Smith-Cotton. To show our appreciation of her work with us. W6 held a banquet in her honor before her departure. Credit should go also to our Spizc officers who have worked hard to promote all the club's activities. They are as follows: President, Marilyn XVilliamsgVice-President, Charmaine Nichols, Secretary, Pauline Milburn, Treasurer, Delores llanigan, Reporter, Peg Major, Parliamentarian, Rosalie Marshall, Cheer Leaders, loann Schott, Margaret Liming, Elaine VVarren. lt has been said that the Spiz Club is the best club in Smith-Cotton. If you don't be- lieve this, just ask any of it's members! They may be easily identified by the gold and black Spiz jackets which they wear persistently and proudly on all meeting and game days.

At the present we have thirty-seven active members with three of this year's members in the service. Several activities were sponsored during the year. During the football season we had the food stand at the games. Some time before too long we hope to be able to get something to sell. After the regular basketball season we held our annual intcrclass tonrnanicnt, which was won by the junior class. April third we had our annual spring party at the Country Club. Around school the past few weeks we have been seeing many former cluh members. 'l'hcy have been spending their time since leaving school with Uncle Sam.

NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE The National Forensic League sponsored by Miss Anna Sawford, speech coach, is com- posed of thirty members. The officers chosen for the year were Buddy Klink, president, Virginia Berry, vice-president, and Iean Callis, secretary. The 1945-46 debate season has been a very representative one for Smith-Cotton. The debate tournaments in which Smith-Cotton participated were held at the University of Missouri, Southwest Baptist College at Bolivar, Wyandotte High School in Kansas City, Kansas, and Central Missouri State Teachers College at Warrensburg. The Missouri High School Debating League with which Smith-Cotton is affiliated has re- sumed its activities after having discontinued them during the war. The first meeting was held at Missouri University on December seventh and eighth. The first round of the Warrens- burg district tournament was held in Sedalia with four schools participating. By winning this round, Smith-Cotton gained the right to represent this district at the final district tournament at VVarrensburg on February twenty-second. The Smith-Cotton teams with Ieanne Handley and Sam Highleyinan representing the affirmative, and Ruth Ann Yunker and Rosalie Mar- shall, the negative, placed second in the finals. The schedule for the spring tournaments was as follows: April fifth and sixth, N. F. L. tournament at Springfield, April twelth and thirteenth, Spring Contest at VVarrensburg, May tenth and eleventh, Missouri Speech Conference at the University of Missouri, May third and fourth, Rockhurst Academy of Kansas City Contest. The N. F. L. gives its greatest thanks to Miss Sawford whose help and guidance have inspired its members to go forward. Page 56 Frank Armstrong, Mary Frances Borne, Audrey Cramer.

SPANISH CLUB La Charlita fChatter Club to yonl was organized this year under the supervision of las senoritas Calix and Larkin. The purpose of the club is to give Spanish students an op- portunity for conversation, to acquaint them with the customs of Spanish-speaking people, and to enjoy Spanish games and music. Officers of the club are: el presidente, Gene Terryg la vice-presidente, Ruth Ann Yunker, and la secretario y tesorero, Ioann Rosenthal. Our main social affair of the year was the Christmas party. With the able assistance of Miss Larkin and the art department, it was done up in real Spanish style-and we've been broke ever since! We worked on a play in the springg rather, we would have worked on it if the characters had learned their parts.f Characters means just exactly what it says-if the play cast wants to be insulted, let them go ahead andube insultedlj Leroy luchs was the star, so it was good. In February our dream came true-we received our charter from the council. lt's a gorgeous charter-at least we think it is- and it means that now we really exist. See?

ARCHIVES STAFF XVe, the staff have had a trying year, but fun on the side feven though we have had some hair pulling now and tlieul. Our typists, Mary Chesser and Dolores Ilanigan, have typed off the once beautiful nails they possessed. They have worked uufailingly to the end, and wc do mean the cud. Our Art Editor, Barbara Aven, did excellent work with all the division pages, but she nearly lost all her patience when we wanted ideas changed. The staff is so particular, you know.

Dudley liuckett and Bud Klink, the Sports Editors, went through high water at times trying their darnest to get satisfactory write-ups. They had to hound the coaches by the hour just so they would be beaming when this edition was put out. 'l'lie Activity Editors had the tough job for they had to get thc organization writefups. Peg Major and Glenn Gox, were very dependable. VVC seriously eouldn't have done a thing if they hadn't had their noses around. Literary Editors, Rosalie Marshall and Selma Bloess. carrie out on top after we fought with them at every meeting. The work they produced was above reproach, so you know we are proud of them. XVc can't leave Dick Dean out, for he was our Advertising Manager. Dick stuck to his job until the time the book was printed, which was a good record for him.

SPRINGFIELD, Schwermer, Captain Although the score of this game would seem to indicate a lopsided battle, those who saw the game did not think so. Springfield gained 306 yards to the Tigers 275, and Springfield was as yet an unbeaten and unscored on team. Sedalia was handicapped by the loss of Lloyd Roe, quarterback, who was out with a knee injury. Harold Mickens, fullback, drove over the Bulldogs goal line to score the 'l'iger's lone touchdown. Final Score: Smith-Cotton 6, Springfield 39 SMITH-COTTON VS. COLUMBIA, Egbert and Miller, Captains The Tigers felt the loss of two of their best boys in this game.

INDISPENDENCE, Luekett, Captain This thrilling battle was played through wild periods of silence, broken only by occasion- al cheers from Marvin llanigan, the Tigers valiant water boy. No one knew what the boys from Sedalia would do next, not even the boys from Sedalia. The suspense reached a thrill- ing climax late in the fourth period when Coach Dow signaled his boys to unveil his super- secret play of the season, X-Z7. This was a quick fumble on three and the Tigers executed it perfectly. Players and spectators alike considered this one of the hardest fought games of the season.

Jim Egbert, BASKETBALL The Smith-Cotton Tigers completed a very successful basketball season this year, winning twenty-two games and losing only five. NYe plaeed second in a tie with llannibal in the central Missouri Conference. The conference was a close race all season between Columbia. llannibal, Iefferson City, and Smith-Cotton with Columbia winning out, Cohimbia suffered only one defeat in the conference and that was at the hands of the Tigers in an exciting contest on the local court by the score of thirty-three to thirty-two. SmithfCotton won seven and lost three games in the conference. The three losses were to Iefferson City, Columg bia, and llannibal all of whom we defeated once. The Tigers were in several tournaments this year. XVe were in a one day practice tournament here and won over the three other teams which played. Preceding the regular schedule, we entered the Concorda Invitational tournament in which there were thirteen teams. The Tigers came through to win four straight games and the tournament. At the end of the playing season we entered the subfregional tournament at Marshall with eight other teams. VVC won the tournament and the right to participate in the regional at XVarrensburg with seven other sub-regional winners. VVe drew the strong NVentworth Xlilitary Academy team for our first game and they defeated us in a thrilling struggle hy the score of thirty'-five to thirtyhone, thus eliminating us from the regional and ending the basketball season for us. Smith-Cotton owes its successful basketball season to the splendid work done by Coach Steiner and to the interest the team members have shown in developing the team.

INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL The intra-mural basketball season was very successful with a large munber of boys turning out and making competition keen. There were two divisions in senior high school and two divisions in junior high school. ln senior high the Violets, eaptaincd by Bob Estes, won Division Ag and the Blues, captain- ed by Teddy Schwermer, were victorious in Division B. ln the playoffs to decide who would win the medals, Captain Sehwermer led his team through to win the championship and the medals. ln junior high, it was a close race in Divisions A and B with the Lions and the Crows winning their respective divisions. Frank Potts was captain of the Crows and Arthur Spraggins of the Lions. 'l'he Crows finally came through to triumph in the playoffs and won the medals. Page 79 TRACK The sun shines down warmly on the cinder-blackened track. Trees are budding, birds singing, boys chasing baseballs on the deserted football field. The continuous hum of class- room noises goes on in the background. To the east a Katy freight is rumbling loudly, working itself somehow into the dull monotonous pattern. On the track boys in gray and yellow warm-up suits are loping gently along with slow, easy strides. They are easing kinks out their stiff muscles, they are limbering up their legs. At the far end of the field a few boys can be seen lying carelessly on the blue-green grass doing set-ups. In ithe distance a shot-put hits the ground with muffled thud. We sigh. Spring and the track season are upon us. The handling of the track section in a yearbook is always a problem to that book's staff. This is because the annual must go to press before the season is underway, but it does not come out until the last race is run. Consequently,the best we can offer you isfll the names of the boys out, Q25 what event they are trying for, and Bl a schedule of the meets that will take place. If you will look at the right hand column of the schedule you will find that it is empty. This is not a typo- graphical error. We are just going to let ycu write in where Smith-Cotton placed. We hope this plan will not fall too far below your expectations. Name Event Dean, Dick Egbert, Iim Armstrong, Frank Hedderich, P. I.

EIGI-ITI-I GRADE CLASS In September, 1945, we, a new group of children, approached the open doors of Smith-Cotton High School to face the ordeal of adjusting ourselves to a different and somewhat harder school life. Much to our surprise the adjustment came quickly and we soon found ourselves boosting the school spirit and taking part in all of the activities. Our first school achievement was to elect our class officersg President, Teddy Brown, Vice-President, Wilma Schilb, Secretary-Treasurer, Eleanor Oversby, and Reporter, Ralph Walker. For the activity drive, we chose Mimi Hale as our candidate for the activity queen. Even though we lost the drive, we placed third and felt our efforts had not been in vain. For the Intra-Mural plays we presented, Stout Hearted Freddie with Donnie Harrison, Leo Eickhoff, Shirley Kanter, Ierry Mopps, Bob Van Horn, Magaret Ann Wade, Vivian VValton, and Noman Whitehouse as the cast. Our efficient director was Rosalie Marshall. The sponsors of the eighth grade class are Misses Geraldine Teufel and Ida Cruzan. We have completed a successful year of adjustment from grade school and we hope to improve our record in the next four years at dear old Smith-Cotton.

Even under ordinary conditions, editing a school yearbook is no snap, for this year it was doubly hard. Starting from' scratch and laying the foundation is the tough part. The only thing that enabled the Archives Staff to complete your yearbook is the fact that we had enough money Cjust enoughl to buy aspirin. I wouldn't want to say openly that there was the least bit of trouble in preparing your Archives, but you haven't heard of trouble until you hear what the staff had to go through. Getting write-ups is the toughest job to tackle, and I do mean tackle, if you plan to get results. Of course, you all are well aware of the problem we faced in securing pictures of everyone, in fact, we had to take Charlie's and Selma's three times before they were happy. VVe might have traveled the dark road at times, but I have thoroughly enjoyed working with such a dependable staff and with such a responsible sponsor. It has been fun and I wouldn't trade my experience for even a date with Ken. l wish to express my sincere appreciation to Mrs. Thelma Cook, Mr. Heber Hunt, Mr. Ben E. Seward, President of Burger-Baird Engraving Companyg Mr. William Hurlbut, Ir., of Hurlbut Printing Companyg Mr. Guy Snyder of Snyder's Studio'sg and all others who have contributed to making your 1946 Archives a success.
