His A proposals relating to the education of youth in Pennsylvania resulted in the establishing of the Academy in Philadelphia, which later became the University of Pennsylvania. While his ideas were good, only a few Q were able to avail themselves of the opportunity for a free education. Education is vastly different now. Today, free education is universal in our country. Thirty million pupils avail themselves of educational opportunities offered by a million teachers in more than a quarter of a million school buildings. Our conception of education, as well as educational opportunities, for the children has changed greatly. The theory upon which our government is founded presupposes a citizenry intelligent enough to direct the affairs of the Nation. The directors of great indus- tries realize that their activities can be carried on to the best advantage by trained and educated workers. The people of the United States consider it a privilege and a duty to see tliattheiirchild-ren, as far as possible, are educated and trained. With such general faith in education, the question now is not vvhether there shall be educational facilities for all the people, but how these facilities may be provided best and how the process of education may be constantly improved. To this end public .spirited citizens, as school board members, are sacrificing time and effort in solving the problem of providing facilities for education, and many eapable men, as educational leaders, are constantly improving the process of education. May We not commend those who have labored to make our schools as good as any, who have sacrificed in order that the frugal precepts of Franklin might be exemplified, and whose high ideals have led them onward in the paths of educational service? li--- .... .... - ------------ 3 Pagel4 I ------ -- I . .-....,,,,.,...-.-f,v,. .1 . -.v,.v...,u.,0:f,,+..1-.w+1,.:-.-..-. e..N.Q..,.- 1 iaijjfjjgji:ifiiiiiijilgneeC 'jiiiii His lted .ame few' on rsal ties ngs. .TOD :nry lus- and .uty uch anal 10W zillg and of ood be nal P .1 1- ? 29 S iiiiiiiiiitn W i H1 i I No single parts unequally surprise All comes united to admiring eyes. -Pope.

DEAR READER: I have ever had pleasure in studying the Senior Class of '28, Imagining that Z1 knowledge of their accomplishments will be equally agreeable to you, I sit down to write of them. This class, having emerged from the ob.scurity of '25 and having reached this high degree of reputation in the Webb City High School, I write of them now, as you may find their acts fit to be imitated. ' In the year of '25 the class started on the highway of fame. A Freshman girl, Margaret Spracklen, won the Bible Reading contest. The Freshman Class queen, Beatrice Bennett, was as pretty Cand I say it without vanity? as any the High School had ever seen. x ' ' In '26 the Freshmen became Sophomores, and started through another success- ful year. Wayne Webb repeated the victory of the Freshman year and won the Bible Contest. That year the school had an orchestra, two-thirds of which were Sopho- mores. ' Then came the Junior year. In athletics the class starred. Lawson CJuniorJ proved .so valuable that he was chosen captain for the year '28. In the Music Depart- ment, Inah Crocker and Bob Landrum Cboth Juniorsb won the leading parts in the operetta. John Davisson became one of our greatest debaters, and he also had the star role in the High School play given that year. In the inter-state track meet, Roy Stark won first place. Poor Richard says, Let not the sun look down and say,'Inglorious here he lies'! Thi.s class followed this excellent advice and when the members emerged Seniors, the goal for which they had striven for three years, they redoubled their efforts. In athletics, Lawson, as captain, stood out even more than in his Junior year. Hugh Wilhite, Roy Stark, Red Bishop, and Thelbert Cagle all won letters. In basketball Gene Skinner, Tom Edwards, and Walter Leslie all won admiration for their playing. In debate, John Davisson, Gaylord Goodwin and Thelbert Cagle Call Seniors! upheld the honor of the school. Walter Leslie and Cleda Spencer were elected by the student body, as the best type of students in our school, to go to see Abraham Lincoln. Out of the five officers in the Student Council, three were Seniors. These and numerou.s other honors were carried off by the Seniors. Bob Landrum was Rene fthe starj in the operetta again. In the series of contests given by the societies Bob won first place for the tenors, LeClaire Bradbury won second place in soprano, and other Seniors were honored in the numerous contests. The greatest of all is that through all these laudable improvements they have remained modest, realizing that misfortunes are brought upon people by carrying their heads too high. Adieu, dear reader, we are leaving this year to become famous and worthy of our High School record. DOROTHY JOHNSON. Hg-115--jjj 3 3 3 11ij,'.'.1'.i :Li :Qi 2:3331 J Page do -,. . -... . ,L . ,.. . .

When the world goes wrong, as it's bound to do, When we've left your open door, We'll remember you, our Dear Old High, And be content once more. For you have been our guiding star In all the days gone by, The place where our dearest memories cling, The best to us, DearOld High. II. Time has come to part, love is in our heart, For the days spent in Dear Old High! When our school days cease, We shall ne'er forget Those tenderest memories. As we think of the gears Spent in Webb City High, Our joy turns to tears, and we sigh! I Though all the days may turn to years, F ondest memories will bring us cheer. CHORUS The school of our dreams is the dearest school Of all the schools we oe known. Each friendship, true, has been proved true blue, In days of our school career. Our teachers, so dear, have been our cheer, Here in this Dear Old High, And we'll ne'er regret, and ne'er forget The days spent in Webb City High.

My class was one of the most versatile and enthusiastic that had ever set out on its search for wisdom in this particular institution. Even in this, its earliest stage, it succeeded in placing brilliant exponents of its merits in the ranks of the football and basketball stars, and in divers plays. One of our most eloquent young ladies obtained the well- earned medal in the Bible reading contest. Work while it is yet today, for you know not how much you may be hindered tomorrow. This adage of Poor Richard's undoubtedly was the guiding star of this class of '29. As Freshmen, we decided it to be a nonsensical and imprudent plan to procrastinate winning the queen contest until we were become all-powerful Seniors, so we set diligently about gaining the reward at that time. However, youth and inexperience worked their mischief, and, although we greatly disturbed the self- confidence of our veteran rivals, we were defeated. On the next occasion of the contest we, as Sophom-ores, treated the unbelieving world to the spectacle of an under-class attaining the honor of placing its queen in its Alma Mater's publication, as queen of King Jack, and incidentally bore witness to the saw, God helps them that help themselves. As Juniors we were again establishing our choice fMiss Marjorie Pritchett! as queen' of the Annual, when it was ,suddenly determined to discontinue the contest, so we were denied this second victory. But to return to my second year in High School. What a happy time that was, indeed, for the class of '29! Besides winning the aforementioned contest, Sophomores played a remarkable number of leading parts in The Belle of Barcelona, and in Turn to the Right , Sophomores were also the .stars on the football and basketball squadsg and, as always, they were foremost in scholarship. Only one blight fell upon the spirits of my classmates, but it was truly a great one. In the midst of our success and rejoicing, Miss Grace Gill, a beloved friend, was taken from us. The third year in Webb City High School was as eminently successful as the preceding two. We were blessed with three excellent sponsors-Miss Aldridge, Miss Teter and Mr. McGlothlin-and my classmates again showed fby their cooperation with these threel that they realized the truth of the precept, They who will not be advised can't be helped. Under the capable direction of these prudent advisers and of Dr. Pritchett, the class presented a hilarious comedy-drama entitled His Uncle's Niece. Four Junior boys played football, and four played basketball, on the first teams, with remarkable skill. Of the latter, Maness was the hero of the tilt with Carthage in the Springfield tourney, and the former did much toward securing the success of the football squad. In the annual operetta, The Marriage of Nanettej' Miss Lois Roney sang the title role and Kenneth Thomas performed admirably in the chief masculine role. Dorothy Haney, Nelsa Smith, Lloyd Powell, Mary Hobart, George Shelby, and E-ldon Morgan, sang practically all the other important parts. Yes, I was very proud of my class then, and, to tell the truth, I haven't quite rid myself of the conceit. Certainly, back in those felicitous school days, the Class of '29 demonstrated the aphorism that goes, Diligence is the mother of good luck, and also of, God gives all things t.o industry. In the quality of its scholarship and in its elegant performances in other activities, these saws are illustrated. The faculty, it is sad to say, never fully realized the sterling quality of my classmates until they had gone from the old school-never again to return as students. This showed but too plainly the veracity of Poor Richard's maxim, When the we1l's dry they know the worth of water. HALAINE WISE. M944 If----H --... .....

As Sophomores, various members of our class began to show their ability. Henry Damron was chosen as an all-Southwest guard in football. Marie Dipley made the basketball squad. Glenn Lowe won first place in the music contest, While Neva Spencer won third place. Lanona Flowers won first place in the vocal solos for altos. S With the idea of success in mind, our class has adopted the following of Poor Richard's proverbs: ORDER Let all your things have their places, let each part of your business have its time. RESOLUTION Resolve to perform what you oughtg perform without fail what you resolve. SINCERITY Use no deceitg think innocently and justly and, if you speak, speak accordingly. JUSTICE ' Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty. Q TRANQUILLITY Be not disturbed at trifles or at accidents common or un- avoidable. INDUSTRY Lose no time, be always employed in something useful, cut off all unnecessary actions. ' Although we have never arrived at the perfection we had been so ambitious of obtaining, but have fallen far short of it, yet we are, by the endeavor, a better, happier class than we otherwise should have been if we had never attempted to gain an education.

HDILIGENCE IS THE MOTHER OF GOOD LUCK. FTER careful attention in all our work through eight years, we, one hundred and SiXtY-eight Freshmen, entered .the corridors of the Webb City High School. After going through the process of enrolling we started on our first, happy year of High School. A WORD TO THE WISE IS SUFFICIENTK' One word was enoughg demerit meant a cut in deportment if we were not in our classes in due time. We soon learned that we must obey every rule if We aspired to high grades in deportment. In the study hall we learned that we should be very careful to get the right seatg otherwise we were likely to hear a roar of laughter from all of the upper classes. THERE ARE NO GAINS WITHOIUT PAINSX' ' Pains we did have when we .saw students stationed in different parts of the hall watching every move we made. However, we soon learned that these people were only watching with the idea oftraining us in the ways of good conduct. So, after thinking the matter over, we decided it best to obey their rules. Y BE ASHAMED TO CATCH YOURSELF IDLE. We kept in mind this quotation from Poor Richardis Almanac . One 'of our girls, Maxine Emmons, decided it a very good rule to go by, therefore, she attained the highest grades of anyone in the High School. The P. T. A. decided that such a remarkable class should have some reward and they gave a banquet for the section having the highest average. Miss Roney's section Won this honor. That surely was a happy group of girls. One of our group has shown great skill in algebra. She, Josephine Crisp, was one of the three students in our state who were in the one percent. class in algebra in a test given the first semester. ENERGY AND PERSISTENCE CONQUER ALL THINGS. We take part in every activity. One member of our class, Rosemary Warner, has great talent in dancing. She, with many others from our class, displayed unusual talent in the operetta, The Marriage of Nannettef' We .shared honors in the basket- ball and volleyball games at noon hours, with great vigor. For our queen, Doris Lowe, we cooperated loyally. ' EVERY HOUR HAS ITS END. Our Freshman year is bound to end, but we are proud of ourselves, of our honors, of our work, and of the grades we have made.

HE author of Poor Richard's Almanac has been an inspiration. to , Z the citizenship of America in countless ways. Born in the flrst X P quarter of the eighteenth century, Benjamin Franklin became the A most typical man of his time, certainly he was the most versatile man of affairs and the most picturesque in personality of all the distinguished group who helped to guide the nation in that troubled age. From his earliest childhood, Franklin had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and to this end he was ever a lover of books. His first spending money was invested in a meager library, and as he grew older he was ambitious to disseminate general information through a newspaper which he published quite successfully. In 1732 appeared the first issue of the famous Almanac , which for a quarter of a century exerted no small influence on morals and habits throughout the colonies. One today is worth two tomorrowsf' Fools make feasts and the wise men eat them. Wise men learn by others harms. Those and scores of other homely proverbs were incorporated in the Almanac , which found its way into every home. Such philosophy, even though homely, is the type upon which our country is founded. The proverbs of Poor Richard are propounded today with more energy than they were in the eighteenth century, and with that thought in mind, we have tried to incorporate the ideals of the Almanac in this, our year book.

His best game was against Aurora at the district tournament. WALTER LESLIE Wa1t, ,p1aying his first year of bas- ketball, received mention on the All- Southwest. He was one of the best guards in the district. LYLE TURNER 4:13 oop was one of the scrappiest players in the conference. This, com- bined with his dribbling and goal shooting, gained for him the position of captain of the All-Southwest team. Junior is developing rapidly. After jumping, he played the position of guard, and was one of the best in the conference in taking the ball off the back-board. EVERETT BISHOP 41 Red is noted for his hard playing, and always proved his mettle when his chance came. JAMES GARDNER Coach CLIFFORD GEER Click is a fine player. We are lucky to have him for another year. GORDON MANES 'Goog will be a valuable man on next year's team.

However, the ability of Coach Gardner to develop players out of crude material soon changed the out- look considerably. Some exceptionally good material sprang into existence at the very start of the season, and soon a team that played like veterans was developed. The record of the playing season was quite a pleasing one. In Class A compe- tition Webb City won 6 games and lost 3. Besides making this outstanding record in the conference, the local team met and defeated many of the best teams in the district.

Thi.s tourna- ment, held on February 22, in the Webb City High School gymnasium, was sponsored by the Webb City High School Athletic Department. It was a decided success in every respect. All schools participating expressed themselves as being well pleased with the way it was conducted. Certainly the basketball fans of Webb City and the adjoining towns displayed their appreciation, as was evidenced by the large crowds in attend- ance at all games. The teams, in turn, displayed a spirit of basketball which gave the fans untold thrills. It is hoped that Webb City High School will have the privilege next year of again entertaining the high schools of Jasper County in another tournament. Joplin emerged victor, and as a reward received a handsome trophy, in addition to the individual gold basketball watch-charms which were presented by Wood's De- partment Store. For winning second place, Carterville received a loving cup. Webb City, being defeated early in the tournament, came back and won the beautiful con- solation cup, Carthage was presented with a basketball for winning third place. The most unique honor of the tournament was a Sportsmanship Banner, presented by the Hi-Y boys of Webb City Hi., to Jasper High School.

Score, 12-19. Our record being good, Mr. Gardner decided to enter us in the Southwest Mis- souri tournament at Springfield. Our first game at the tournament was with Straf- ford, whom We defeated by a score of 33-17. This victory aroused our enthusiasm, so that when we played Clever, March 9, we won 24-18. VVe should have credit for doing better than we did before when we played Neosho, even if we didn't win- score, 31-10. By this defeat we only got .second place, but we were glad to even get that. Pearl Tappana won a place on the All-Southwest Team as side center. Evelyn Goode, jumping center, Cleda Spencer, forward, Jessie Spracklen, guard, won places on the second team. We are especially proud of these four girls for their honors.

He was a great help to our team, both on the defense and offense. He was an exceptional man in the interference, a fine line plunger and fine backer of the line. On the defense he was a sure tackle and an exception on breaking up passes. He was a model captain, star player, a good fellow, and a true friend of every member of the team. COACH 'GARDNER Coach Gardner deserves much credit for his Work. Out of crude material he has developed a winning team this year, as our many victories proves. LYLE TURNER CCaptain-electj Left Halfback Poop was the lightest and fastest man on the team, and his action and looks and playing ability is a con- stant reminder of Red Grange. Lyle's broken field running, the ease with which he slips through the line, will make him a source of grief to oppos- ing teams in the season to come. GENE SKINNER Right Halfback Gene is a product of last year's team. He has proven to the followers of the Red and White that he is a line plunger and an all-round player of rare ability, with plenty of pep. EVERETT BISHOP Fullback Red has been With W. C. H. S. for several years, and more than once has he carried the pigskin across the line for another victory. His long end runs and line-plunges would be an asset to any team. He was a sure tackler and one of the fastest men on the team. He has played end with great ability. He is a Senior. ROY STARK Left End Starkie was without a doubt one of the most valuable men on the team. He lacked some points of being a star, but was a bright spot among the oth- er planets. His toe was considered one of the best assets the team pos- sessed. HUGH WILHITE Center Although light, he was a center that any High School would be proud ofg an accurate passer, good on the defense, and a constant Worry to our opponents in break- ing through their line. He is a Senior and will be missed next year. . if ---t - ----- '--- ---- ---e - - at Page6O --------------- e-,--f.-f,.f-:Qmn N... -f.,,,a.,, -,luv ..f..fU+f.afL-.-141.-1-. - -..-....------..---....- V Football Letter Men THELBERT CAGLE ERNEST BLACK Tackle Pluto made his letter this year. He was good on the offense and made the touchdown in the Neosho game. He should make a good player' in college. DAVID BUXTON Left Guard As a capable lineman he needs no introduction. His ability to make holes and break through our oppo- nents' line has been proved several times. He was also used at tackle on many occasions and performed very Well. LEE DAU GHERTY Right End This makes Lee'.s second year on the team. Lee held the position of right end and proved to the people in the Carthage game that he was a man of great ability. Lee Will be back next year and We expect a lot from him. We will write a volume about him then. 4 Left Tackle Blackie is in every Way a model tackle, fast on his feet, a sure, hard tackler and a fine fellow. His ability to make holes is shown by the gains made over the left side of the line this year. He has also played guard and promises to be very successful. He will be back next year. HENRY DAMRON Guard This is Henry's first year of football. By making the All7Southwest his first year, he should be a whiz by next year. He was good on both the of- fense and the defense. He will be back next year. RAYMOND BETTIS Right Tackle This is Slats ' first year on the team, although he played his position like a veteran. He was the fellow who always kicked off to the oppos- ing team. ROSS JOHNSON Guard . f'Sam was quite light for a lineman, but he believes in hitting hard and often. When he played against a player for a Whole game, the player would not forget it very soon.

'L ' Q I WHE football season of 1927 was one of the mo.st successful since 1916 for the local High School. By winning seven out of nine games and tying one, the team came out second in the Southwest Missouri Class A Conference. This was a feat which Webb City had not accomplished for twelve years. Two men, Lyle Turner and Henry Damron, were placed on the All-Southwest Team. Willis Lawson, Everett Bishop and Roy Stark received honorable mention in the mythical list. Too much cannot be said in praise of the coach, James Gardner. He was loyal and faithful to every man on the team, and each, in return, fought his hardest for him because of this sincerity. He knew football, he knew boys, and he knew how to make football players out of green boys. W Men who made letters this year are as follows: W. Lawson, Bishop, Turner, Wilhite, Skinner, Daugherty, Damron, Buxton, Johnson, Black, Bettis, Stark, and Cagle. SEASON RECORD - Date Opponents' Score W. C. H. S. Score September 30 October 7 .....

' Jiri fl kpc Ig C n ,t d ,ii ,l r O 1 1 The Games LD CB51 one of the boysl Our first game of the season was with Carterville, at home. We had been put through a very hard practice for about a month and were in the very best of shape. VVe had a few men who had not seen their first game as yetg but Carterville proved to the 1927 gang to be one of their easiest foes, and when the final whistle blew the score stood 37 to 7 in our favor. Our second game was at home, with our old-time opponent, Neosho. The boys were too sure of this game and, to their surprise, the game was almost lost. A costly fumble on the part of Neosho gave Webb City the ball on the other side of their oppo- nents' goal line, where three of Webb City's players fell on the ball. Neosho scored once. Both teams failed to make extra points and the score at the end of the game stood 6 to 6. We were not yet very well organized and did not have the old fighting spirit which we had from this time on. Our third game was at home, with Nevada. As you all know, we lost to Nevada last year 3 to 0, but this year we showed them how a real team looked. In this game we got our old spirit back and fought hard from the beginning to the end, play- ing a sixty-minute game. The pigskin was carried over that goal line three times to their once. Our fourth game was our first one away from home, this time we went to Aurora, the town which last year beat us 20 to O. The people as a whole were afraid that we could not play as well away from home as we did at home, but in this game we showed them that it did not make any difference whether we were at home or at Aurora. Aurora scored first, but just then we heard-our yells from both sidelines and, looking around, we saw all of Webb City there. From then on they could not hold us back, and when the final whistle sounded we had .swamped them. Our next game, the fifth, was with Mount Vernon, there. This being the first time we .had' played thzem in years, we did not know just what to expect. But if you want my opinion of their team, I would say they had a real fighting bunch of fellows. We are indebted to Lyle Turner, who saved the day by running 98 yards for a touch- down, and to Roy Stark, who made the extra point count. We held them until the third quarter, when we received a fifteen-yard penalty, which put the ball within a foot of their goal with four downs to make it. They made it on the third down, but failed to make their extra point, and it was here that we won the game, 7 to 6. Our next game was at home, with Carl Junction. They proved to be very easy for such a powerful team as the Red and White. ln this game all the subs were sent in, even the Freshmen. There were only two regulars in the game the last quarter, the fullback and center. When the whistle blew we had won, 27 to 0. Our seventh game, the home-coming game, was with Monett, played on Armis- tice Day, and was the biggest game for our team this year, and the game which we had set our hearts to win. We had practiced very hard, in anticipation of a hard battle. We went into the game with two injured players, our quarterback and half. It all happened when a bad fumble was picked up by a Monett player, who fell over the goal line. This happened in the first quarter of the game, after which we played in their territory the balance of the game. Stark out-punted their kicker and, as a whole, we outplayed them, but we could not score. This was our only defeat of the ear, 6 to 0. y The following Monday we made up our minds we would win the two games left, one of which was with Carthage. We practiced like we never practiced before, and that Friday we took the bus for Lamar. When we got there we had to wait almost an hour for the officials, but finally the only one we had came. VVe went out to warm up and, to our surprise, it was snowing. We were very slow to start, and Lamar scored on us and held us for down.s the first and second quarters, but the second quarter our center got through and blocked a fumble, which resulted in a touchdown. We played until dark and had to cut off ten minutes, but we won, to 6. 20 Our last game, and the biggest game of the season, was on Turkey Day, when we went to Carthage, with no other thought than bringing home the bacon. However, we had not won from Carthage in nine years. Like all our other games, Carthage scored first, and we were still trailing 6 to 0 at the end of the first half. At the mid- dle of the third quarter a pass from Lyle to Daugherty, right end, made a gain of fifty yards, and with four more downs, resulted in our first touchdown, making the score 6 to 6. We then picked up and fought for the deciding score. Lyle passed to Red in the final quarter, which made the score 12 to 6 in our favor. When the final whistle blew at the end of the game we were within just a few inches of their goal line, but we did not need the extra touchdown. We had better support this year, both at home and away from home, than ever before, and we certainly thank the school and town for their loyal support. .- -- - ' ' 'IIIIiZi.'.'.'.'.1iZIILZIIZJSI Ev' ' Page 63 ... . .-..... ...a-,f-xaca:z..9:-:.a3: usual.--.x.s-fu1 fi- 2 -- -----------..----.-- HT '12 ----------- ..-- ----ws c'---------------H I --- ---- ---- - - ----- -,I-1255----------- ' lnter-Ctlotss Sports a NLY a select few of the entire body of high school students receive the benefits derived from playing on the regular school teams, while others, who enjoy the playing, have to stand back and just wish that they could get into the game. However, during the past year, every student possessing any athletic ability or ambi- tion has had the opportunity of entering into some competitive athletics. This was made possible through a class ,league in volleyball and basketball. This league was organized soon after Thanksgiving and the games started two weeks before the Christmas holidays. Games of some sort were played every day, except Fridays, during the noon hour until the first of March. Volleyball and basketball were alter- nated week about with the boys' teams playing on Monday and Wednesday and the girls' teams contesting on Tuesday and Thursday. These games have fulfilled many purposes, chiefly among which are: C17 New material was discovered for the regular school teainsg C23 class spirit had an oppor- tunity through which it could be properly directedg C39 amusement for all during the noon period was providedg and C55 the crowded condition in the halls during in- clement weather was relieved.

This number was reduced to four through a series of trial debates. Of these four, John Davisson, who was a member of last year's team, was selected as captain and member of both the affirmative and negative teams. He proved himself a debater of exceptional ability in every debate of the season. His delivery in the constructive argument and his rebuttal analyses won many votes for the.1ocal -team. Gaylord Goodwin was chosen as the other member of the negative team. Like his colleague, his delivery was of a nature which gained much praise for him. The second member of the affirmative team, Thelbert Cagle, debated like a veteran, although thi.s was his first fornsic attempt. The fourth member of the squad, Robert Landrum, served as alternate for both teams. Although Robert never partici- pated in a debate, he had the ability and preparation to fill the place of any of the other three at any time. R Even though Webb City never moved beyond the first round of debates, yet the past season proved a very gratifying one for the team and for the school. The season record of three victories and two losses is a very good one. The local team holds the honor of being the only one to defeat Carthage, who won the district honors. With a little more precaution in one of the debates lost, Webb City could probably have gone on'to the district championship.

The once-a-month programs on the problems of children of this age have been ably handled by most capable outside speakers and the round table discussions of the parents and teachers are of inestimable value to all. The Association fostered a movement this year to encourage a higher standard of scholarship among the Freshmeny to be maintained throughout the four-year course, if possible. The girls' sectionwon the contest and were entertained at a banquet. This year two delegates from the High School Association were .sent to the State Convention at Springfield. Close contact with the work of the State and National is most valuable to our school. A reception is given each year for the teachers, and the giving of five dollars in gold to the best all-round Senior boy is an annual custom. Patrons, Day brought out large numbers of parents, who spent the day visiting the various classes of the students, thus bringing about a cooperation and understanding between parents and teachers and students which tends toward greater school efficiency. The officers of the Association are: Mrs. B. D. Reynolds, presidentg Mrs. J. S. Spencer, first vice president, Miss Ella Helm, second vice presidentg Mrs. George Nealey, secretaryg Mrs. E. J. Brown, treasurer. Ifiiiiiiiiii 1'.':.'.':::12 1:31-.':L11111 Page 80 E IL-.: Q ll l l l I l l 1 3 3 x L J 3 1 3 1 3 Y S 's 6 d .I' 3.

The other schools competing were Boonville, Butler, Carthage, Joplin and Nevada. As indicated by the title of the contest, every pupil in each subject in each school took the same examinations under exactly the same conditions. No one was excused from the tests. The questions were furnished by the Emporia, Kansas, Teachers' College. From the computed general average of the scores madein these tests, Webb City ranked first in Freshman Latin and Sophomore English. In all of the other subjects the local school ranked second except in chemistry. These subjects were: English, Freshman Algebra, American History. Other firsts and seconds were scat- tered among the remaining schools in .such a scarce manner that an average of the ranking in all subjects gave Webb City first place. Besides making such an excellent showing as a body with this group of schools, the Webb City High School gained high honors for the entire state through some of the individual scores made. Halaine Wise made the highest score in American History for the whole State of Missouri. Another girl, Josephine Crisp, was one of the three highest in Freshman Algebra. Twenty Missouri schools took part in the contest. These schools represent a total of 5,122 students. These results prove that Webb City is not one bit behind the other schools in achieving the desired results in teaching. The city, the school, and the classroom teachers, are to be complimented for thi.s splendid showing. C33 Spelling Contest t N order to be sure that Webb City High School should be represented by its best spellers in the State spelling contest, every student in school participated in a series of elimination contests. Through this series, four girls-Halaine Wise, Dorothea lfVood, Dorothy Veatch and Genevieve Lott-were judged the four best spellers in the school. These four took part in the county contest held at Carthage. Although none of the four won any of the honors, yet they ranked high in the rating. All but Genevieve will return to school next year, which should insure a good spelling team for Webb City High School. - -- - - - -:Zziii:-------.i::::::::::3l lL'-'------ W ' Page Sl Wh.,-N A,.j,,,,.- fs- ' , .. lf- sw- 4 -Q--cn.r.r-.. 1. was-1:5--1 -x-s-..t-rr:-11:4 -:-gene-:-ry gr-f-. -1:-r.:-:.-:-A-A-.1-rf-: ,.....,-..-....--..------ --..-..------....-..-.-- pf ----- f--' lntcrdocicty Contests 3 . N order to instil greater interest in the literary work in school and to select the individuals to represent the school in outside competition, a series of inter-society c-ontests was arranged. Due to the lack of time, only a part of the proposed list of contests was held. These, however, proved well worth while and created consid- erable interest. In view of this fact, plans are now under Way for additional contests next year. The Victorian Society won first place among the girls' organizations, while the Olympic Society won a very close victory among the boys' societies.

XIX STARTLING TRUTH BRUUGHT T0 LIGHT XVithout students' knowledge secret co1u'se in Matrimony has been held in om' High School. Webb City, Mo., March 6, 1928- The most sensational exposure brought to light in many years oc- curred yesterday, when it was learned that Mrs. Hatcher, besides regally and majestically presiding over the study hall, had been secretly in- structing a class, composed of the unmarried feminine members of our faculty, in the intricate art of mat- rimony. Students Forewarned by Strange Occurrences. The discovery came as a severe shock to the student body, although it should have been warned to ex- pect something equally eccentric, by the mysterious actions of the teach- ers in late months. In reviewing the events of the past year in the light of this new revelation, the student body has found many things that had before puzzled it, made plain. Otto Witzansky now knows why Miss Ella Helm, with such righteous indignation, deprived him of a Matrimonial Gazette in which he was absorbed, and also why he never saw it again. Others had had this same experience with Miss Bist- line, Miss Teter and Miss Herrod. It is now evident to George Hickam and John Self, who had succeeded in introducing several copies of sim- ilar publications into the library for the good of the pupils, why these magazines disappeared. They now know that Miss Gilmer, Miss Free- man, Miss Martha Helm, and other classmates of theirs, have under- handedly pilfered these periodicals and, instead of grading papers, have pored diligently over these matri- monial lessons far into the wee small hours. fNow we know why so many pupils have been neglect- ed.J Miss Teter's English students suspect that she was the most in- dustrious, as she was so slow in grading papers and note books. High School Boys Punished for Their Knowledge. The class, of late, has been hold- ing a number of special meetings at 8:30. One morning they actually held until 10:30. A number of curious boys were unfortunately dis- covered spying on this meeting. Murray Golf and Ernest Black were so shocked at what they had learned that they both made eloquent speeches, reproving their instructors for such childishness. The latter, incensed at being found out, sen- tenced their discoverers to washing thc desks, and reported to the stu- dent body that the purpose of the meeting was to investigate and pun- ish certain truants. Mrs. Hatcher Confesscs. The object of the class, according to Mrs. Hatcher's confession, was to prepa1'e the young ladies for leap year. In September a delegation, headed by Miss Gilmer and Miss Aldridge, waited upon Mrs. Hatcher, and requested her to instruct them in the art in which she had been so successful. After much persua- sion, she said, I consented, on condition that Mrs. Kuhn assist. So, ever since, we, with the assist- ance of occasional lectures by Prin. Phillips, Mr. McGlothlin, Mr. Gard- ner, and even Supt. McDonald, have been preparing the misses of the faculty for the fateful day-Feb. 29. The course was not complete until a little laboratory work was done. My students had to practice what they learned. Two Students Set Eyes on Mr. Shover. Miss Whitworth and Miss Sprack- len soon began to look about for a laboratory in which to experiment, and both decided that that of hand- some Mr. Shover was most attrac- tive. So, besides laboring long and painstakingly over mysterious little poems, each spent a great deal too much of her time flirting with V. W., and Miss Whitworth even went so far as to hint that she wouIdn't -mind being a farmer's wife so rnuch. Then, early on February 29, Miss Whitworth sent the following note, carefully tied with a dainty pink ribbon, up to Mr. Shover: TO MR. V. W. SHOVER: A farmer's wife I would be. Won't you take pity on me? I'm bashful and shy, But I can't let you go by. I like you so much, don't you Always, in my girlish dreams, I've seen a nice farm, it seems, With chickens and cows And little bow-wows, And peace when the white moon beams. Now you may come to my door- I live on the second floor. I'll wait there for you: I want you-I do! A So-long: I'll see you at four. see 'I And he returned this: Feb. 29, 1928. The day is cold, and bleak, and drear, But the happiest, to me, of all the year. A farmer's wife, now, you shall be: Pray how did you hap to take pity on me? I'll make you happy-just wait and see, And maybe keep you busy as a bee: But in a cottage, made for two, We'll live in the country, and be true To the life we've trothed to pay Each other on this leap year day. When the clock strikes four I'll appear at your door, And surrender my claim As a love-sick swain. A little later in the day Miss Spracklen dispatched this gem: , Feb. 29, 1928. TO MR. V. W. SHOVER: Darling, I am growing old, Silver threads among the gold, That is why I wax so bold, And on this question I am sold. Tell me, has the word to you been told Of how your arms they might enfold A maiden who is now so cold, But whom I'm sure that you could hold Into a different mold? But she received in answer this mournful reply: I Feb. 29, 1928. Darling, I am forced to pine, At this happy leap year time, And for thy plump and precious frame, My 'arms shall reach, shall reach in vain. A damsel on the second floor An earlier note sent to my door, And I, not knowing yours would come, Did let my heart to her succumb. But, in the words of our great poet, Although I hope she ne'er will know it, Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: 'It might have been.' Miss Whitworth Talks Too Much. Miss Whitworth, elated over her successful experiment, was unable to resist boasting of it to her Latin students. Now comes the sad end- ing of this phase of the episode. Poor, bashful, Mr. Shover became so annoyed when his classes persisted in teasing him that the poor fellow, angry with Miss Whitworth for giv- ing the secret away, broke the en- gagement. Next time, perhaps she will hold her tongue. Misses Spracklen and Whitworth Graduated With Honors. 1 Several days after February 29, the eagerly awaited commencement of the class was held in study hall. Mr. Phillips presented the diplomas. Miss Whitworth stood at the head of her class, since Mr. Shover had not yet jilted her, and she was be- lieved to have been successful in her experiment. Miss Spracklen was class salutatorian, although some thought that she should be valedic- torian, since she not only was so clever in carrying on flirtations and in writing poetry, but could also cook and sew. However, the early bird catches the worm, and Miss Whitworth's promptness in propos- ing won for her. Miss Roney was class essayist, gaining this honor by assisting the valedictorian in writing her proposal. Miss Denham failed to graduate because, incensed at the proposals of Misses Whit- worth and Spracklen, she resigned from the class. Now that the regular students are beginning to recover from their first shock, they are hoping that some of Mrs. I-Iatcher's pupils will put their new knowledge to good use during the year. f'-------------- -------------------- H.
