S. -18- Seniors ,ill.l... . 1- CAROLINE JONES Caroline is one of the 'very brilliant students of our class, entitled to her share of the high honors, but she is so modest that no one would ever learn from her how really clever she is. Caroline was vice- president of our class. and made a very attractive maid in The Rivals. HELEN ERICK Helen is truly a very small person in sta- ture, but not so in accomplishments. for she can draw skilfully, make splendid speeches. is one of our best short story writ- ers, and in addition is secretary of the class. Her favorite pastime is entertain- ing William and she says she intends to study Domestic Science. Looks rather suspicious. doesn't it? -19 PAUL RANNIE Paul is a student whose school work issuch that we may predict a great future for him. He is Attorney General of our class, and is one of the most promising science pupils in school. ln fact, he is so interested in this subject that he- intends to make science his life work. I CARL DONALDSON Carl's favorite pastime is getting pinched for speeding, but he says he is really going to settle down and become a Farmer. Carl is one of 'l5's best all around boysnl he took part in The Rivals and is on the Gleam staff, and with it all, aspires to be a poet. V II I. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I l I .

JULIA McDONALD julia is a never failing source of wit and argument, and affords constant enter- tainment for all who know her. julia played an excellent role in the Senior play and is one of the contestants for Senior essay prize. DOUGLAS FLANDERS Doug is one member of our class who doesn'tlack friends, for he is always ready to accommodate one if it is possible. He has an unusually fine tenor voice, as was shown in the excellent work of the Senior Quartet, and proved his dramatic ability in The Rivals. MARTHA WARNOCK There are but few people to whom we may apply the adjective Sweet, but Martha is among the favored few. NVhen a junior she won the art medal, and one can readily appreciate her talent by glanc- ing through the Gleam. CHARLES BURGESS Charles is one of the few Seniors who really understand Physics. He made a very interesting Bob Acres in The Rivals, is an elevated student of Shakespeare, and will continue his edu- cation at M. U. 20- s.....--.., . . . --.....:..,...4.,-,.. . ..-,.....-. .-+-a..---..-., Seniors VIRGINIA ROSS 'AGin the fifth member of the Ross family to graduate from l. I-I. S., leaves behind her an excellent record in school work. She made her mark in The Ri- vals, was Alumni Editor of the Gleam and discovered her calling'in substituting as Latin teacher. RAYMOND BROWN Morticy our old stand-by at foot- ball, a lover of good jokes, although he seldom sees the point. This, however, will not hinder him in succeeding as a plumber, his chief ambition. CATHERINE GLENN Catherine is a model of modesty and in- telligence, and has made Hne grades in school. Her favorite pastime is joy- ridingf' and her ambition to become a farmers wife, we hope, will be gratified. JOHN BooNE john is one of those speed kings you read about, and in several football games saved us from defeat by his end runs. john is going to be a farmer. and will begin work at the close of school. -211 Seniors I I I I I I I I I 'RUTH lVIcGINLEY In talking of Ruth, we must say many things. It is just as easy for her to write an essay as it is for the rest of us not to, She made a charming Princess in '.'Nathan Der Weisef' is in the race for the English prize, and is proof reader of the Gleam. I I I I . I Q MINNIE Muapnr Minnie, one of those sunny tempera- ments that always' meets you with asmile, a lover of the opposite sex, and exponent of the latest dances, she will flit through life carrying out her chief ambition, to be- come a music teacher. 1 . ., CARL SKINNER A'Skinner is one of our future lawyers and intends to enter the Kansas City School of Law, He was one of our best football - tacklers, and made a record for himself, as Advertising Manager of the Cvleam. ' JOHN DUNN FLORENCE I john's ambition is to become a Napole- on: and. since most of his time is spent at the Battery. we all hope he may have his wish. ' ..22.. u 1 I I I I I , II Seniors C-LADYS NEWTON In electing Glad Editor-in-Chief of our Gleam'-' we have shown our best ap- preciation of her four years of exceptional work. She. has taken part in many plays, the latest being Nathan Der Weisef' but perhaps we love her best just because she's lovable, goodhumored, unchangeable, will- ing, Glad She will attend M. U, CATHERINE POWELL Cathering-modest and unassuming. faithful and diligent, an ardent supporter of all class enterprises. -is loved by every one. She is another one of 'l5's girls who intends to be a teacher. I-IOOVER SHOOK l The Class of '15 is expecting something great from Hock. He clearly depicted the character of Fag in The Rivals, won much applause by his interpretation of Tennyson in The Dreams of Fair Wo- men, .and is Associate Editor of the Cvleam and a member of the Senior Quartet. He expects to attend M. U. I f , . 'ii RICHARD THOMPSON Dick like lightningin basket ball. a mar- vel at foot-ball, treasurer of the class and Gleam, still retains his equilibrium. He says his favorite pastime is getting ads., but we think,it is donning his Gym suit and fighting for Independence and Glory. . -23- Seniors GERTRUDE BRUESS Gert certainly is an extraordinary specimen of her sex. In addition to being Literary Editor of the Gleam,' winning a prize in her junior year, taking star roles in every play, Gertrude has come out of her high school career one of the most ver- satile girls of her class. HARRY ROBERTS Ike, everybody's best friend, the Bus- iness manager of our Gleam, passionate lover in the Senior Play, a shark at foota ball and basket-ball, member of the Senior Quartet, and one of the leaders of our class. IVA ETZENHOUSER All will admit that there are few girls who could carry off the part of a Greek Goddess pose so gracefully as Iva did in Dreams of Fair Women. She is a shark at Ennis and was a member of the Gleam S123 . RALPH DUNCAN We are proud of Scrooge who won the prize for the greatest development of a dime. Ralph. like many other ambitious boys, turns towards the setting sun to complete his education in the University of California. ' -24- Seniors LUCY CRADDOCK Lucy doesn't know who is the hardest teacher to bluff, for she says she doesn't bluff, and she docsn't because she doesn't have to. Her favorite pastime is enter- taining the boys, but this hasn't interfered with her splendid standing in the class. She's been a most willing and etiicient member of the Gleam staff. We envy all her future patients. for her ambition is to become a nurse. A 1 JACK CUSTEAD jack is certainly talented in the line of music and dramatics, having added much to the various social functions by his ac- complishments. l-le was Local Editor of the Gleam. a member of the Senior Quartet and the Star of the Senior play. RUTH ADAMS Ruth is a great lover of nature and spends her vacations on the farm. But yet this does not detract from her excellent work in school, She is a member of the Gleam staff and has always been an en- thusiastic worker for the class. ELMER STEWART The boys showed their love for Smily by electing him Captain of the team again this year. I-le is one of the two best foot-ball players l. H. S. has ever produced, besides being Athletic Director of the Gleam. -25... Seniors HAZEL CREES Hazel carries out the rule which she purposes to carry out in the Kindergarten, Children should be seen and not heard. She, however, has the ability to get her les- sons, as we, who have been in her class- rooms, well know. ' LETA .GRUIVIPLERM Leta aspiresto be a stenographer and will attend Central Business Gollege. She is one of those calm, self-possessed persons whose temper,is not easily excited. GEORGE DEYO George is one of our most talented mem- bers in the musical line, and not only has ability, butnis always willing to help out with his talent, whenever it is needed. ' a ALMA Tl-IORPE Alma - is one of Shakespeares devoted worshippers, and a faithful striver for prizes. Texas has become very attractive to her, so after leaving school, she intends to make her home there. -26 -- Seniors -up DOROTHY FLOWERS Dot ' aspires to be a domestic science teacher' and will attend Manhattan. Al- though she is not much bigger than a minute, she can beat most of us at a good game of tennis. e MARGARET ANDERSON Margaret is aylover of automobiles and is seldom seen without her Ford. She is showing her spirit of charity by sewing for the Belgians, which will incidentally aid her in the study of domestic science. 1.. f.. A LILLY BELLE ALLEN DEXTER PERRY 4 Dex is a lover of I. H.

Seniors NINA YOUNG The pursuit of happiness is going to be Nina's future career. She-is sure to suc- ceed for she is armed with wit and the power to make herself liked. Nina is a devoted English student and has made excellent grades in all her subjects. DOLLIE WALDON I-low oftenvwe read about Spun Gold l-lair, and how rarely we ever see it: yet, Dollie has that kind of hair which poets 'Jrave about. She is also an accomplished musician and intends to continue her study of music, ARTHUR SMITH Arthur .is one of our most brilliant students. His wonderful mathematical brain has been envied by all l-Ie also has one of the best chances for the scholarship, and we are positive Arthur will make a mark for himself when he attends college. , g. f ALICE DEYO ln this day and age, when the majority of girls have ceased to retain any of the shy charm of the girl of the past, it is very grat- ifying to meet a girl like Alice. Surely it is not true that all of the feminine sex have lost the sweet simplicity which so many seek in vain to Find in the modern gir , ,28- Seniors ELLENE FITZMORRIS None know her but to love her. Al- though she is somewhat quiet and reserved, she is firm in her convictions. and has a great deal of inHuence among her friends. She expects to continue her education at K. U. MARTHA LAMON Martha is one of those quiet, unassum- ing girls that add much to the moral stand- ing of the school. She is always in favor of promoting the class: and. after leaving school. intends to become a teacher. MADELINE KELLY ' You can always count on having a good time around Madeline, she never lets you become bored from lack of fun. Madeline says she wants simply to stay at home when she becomes the proud possessor of an I. l-I. S. diploma. but we hardly believe she will carry out her intentions. -M , z t I v my .Zh . .i, HENRIETTA EVANS She is a shy, bashful maiden possessing those qualities so often found in girls of quiet nature: intelligence, purpose, modes- ty and a desire to please all. -29- Seniors Wevhave studied and worked with a definite aim, We have struggled and toiled to be more than a name: To be more than a class, whose deeds stand for nought, Save the pranks of a classmate, or a mischievous thought. Some achievements are joys,-but commencement draws And class bonds grow stronger and memories dear, And the ties which haveibound us together, must part, As our life's newengagements we presently start.. ' A P So our thoughts alternating, 'twixt joy and regret As we daily draw nearer the goal we' have set. The goal at the cross roads, where each turns his way, To reap what-we've learned in our school, day by day. On you different classes the future shall rest, So remember the honor of old l. I-l. S. For in sports and in studies, and in spirit we mean To always be with you,+The Class of 'l5. ' V Harvey Roney,-1'l6. , ' I X -U - 1 A, A , ,sg ' - - .f - ': it ': , .

The f'Grey A i Man or Magician was represent- ed by Alfred Rider. Francis Birn- baumer took the part of the oldest brother Tom, the mother's favorite. Myron Lowbridge repre- sented jack, the boy that found the Golden Goose through his generosity to the Grey Man. The L'Golden Goose was represented by a live goose. The simple little story was very much enjoyed by the audience. ' ' V. M. 'l8. -, vp, Miss Ross's Caesar class in- .. troduced us to an old Roman - school.

The Sophs' dramatization of The Last of the Mohicansf' showed that their study of Cooper had soaked in. Oh! what a motley crew, was that band of Indians, the most hideous and blood curdling that easy going Independence I-Iigh School has seen in many a day! There were dark Indians, light Indians, red headed Indians, Indians arrayed in beads, feathers and W blankets of many colorsL their faces streaked in most terrible war paints. This constituted the council, while the more prominent parts were those of the Scout, the two officers Monroe and I-Iayward, the Mohicans, Chiniazook and Uncas, the cruel Magua who dragged about the brave Cora and gentle Alice, deaf to their cries for mercy and Tamuend chief of the tribe. The Sophomores aspired toward great heights and succeeded very well, omitting the fact that some of the grave council forgot to be solemn and peaceful and persisted in striking each other with murderous butcher knives they carried as daggers. The splendid acting of Uncas captivated the audience and Monroe indeed waxed eloquent when he cried, My chil-ld, give me my chil-ld! I think the Sophs have good cause' to be proud of this dramatic effort. M. B.,'l7. AQQNKES One of the most thoroughly enjoyable programs given in the I-Iigh School auditorium this year was the presentation of Act l Scene 4 and Act 2, Scene 3 from Shakespeares I-Ienry VIII. Elizabeth Shelton took the part of Queen Katherine. The others taking part were: Marcine Smith, Lorene David, Zora I-Ienson, Gertrude Lan- ders, Louise I-Iagler, Clifford Cook, Lester Etzenhouser and Edwin I-Ienderson. The lines were well interpreted, the costumes and stage setting added greatly to the effect. The program was under the direction of Miss Echardt and was a credit to both her and Miss Brown. Prof. Bryant spoke highly of the performance as well as the fact that they were striving toward a lofty goal. I-Ie also congratulated the juniors. I-I.

This produced a striking effect emphasized as each introduced herself by speaking or singing a few verses which brought forth the thread of the poem. The ending was made very picturesque by these dream women grouped about a throne, as the curtain was lowered, when Tennyson came back from Dreamland to find. himself still in the World. G. B. '15 .

This three act farce comedy was one of the New York apartment house sort. Cf course the scenes were in the suburbs of the great metropolis, but such expressions as 'iWe'll have a jolly good time, and Hjove, what a lark, well told that the performers were true New Yorkists. A bit of real heroism was displayed by our honorable Mr. l-lifner. ln a night scene on the stage when the jack-o-lanterns were blowing in a gentle breezef' a candle partly consumed one of the lanterns and then-Mr. l-Iifner to the rescue.

The donations of apples, pumpkins, grapes and nuts served to decorate the stage and afterwards were distributed among the poor of the city. The program opened with a piano solo by George Deyo, followed by recitations given by the Senior quartet. A tableau, The Quaker Girl was a unique feature following a violin solo by Gomer Watson. jack Custead spoke on What We l-lave to Be Thankful For. After a piano duetby Frances and Charnelsie Gabriel, the Rev. L. F.

Tflrofessor 551'yanl's Fiirlbbay J 'iwhat makes me to you a Christian, that makes you to me a ew. We shall ever remember with pleasure the beautiful morning o April the second when the school assembled to celebrate the birthday of the man we all love-Professor Bryant. These are always happy occasions, and this one was no exception. Professor Bryant was the recipient of a basket of beautiful flowers, the schools gift. These were presented by two Freshman girls and each little girl, in turn, was presented with a kiss. A Tribute to Professor Bryant, written by a former pupil, was then read by Carl Donaldson. The following is a selection from it, voicing better than we boys and girls are able, our love and appre- ciation: in l-lis purpose was to know for knowing's sake, Not to become a star to men forever, which he is and will be. Once in a social crowd he read, 'l go to prove my soul- 'I see my way as the birds their trackless way. I shall arrivef And leaning with hushed breath to catch the strain, l thought, 'God guides him as l-le doth the birdsf And in my spirits rapt communion there l saw, l-lis life work filled with usefulness, Glorious with visions of a full success. It seemed especially fitting that a play embodying the idea of the universal brotherhood of man, be given on the birthday of Pro- fessor Bryant. Such was the play, Nathan the Wise, presented by pupils from Miss Sehrl's German classes. Gladys Newton gave a beautiful explanation of the play, dwelling on the idea of the fraternal relations of all men be they Christian, Mussalman, or jew. The scenes, laid before Nathans house in jerusalem, and in the palace of the Sultan, were highly artistic, and the splendor of oriental costuming lent color to the performance. After the play, Professor Bryant spoke with much emotion. lX4uch as I appreciate the flowers, the poem, the play, vastly more do l appreciate the love which they betoken. l wish it were in my power to tell you all how much, how very much I love you. j. lVIc. -49- Ebe fiiivals Mrs. Grundy herself would have been well entertained and pleased had she, perchance, have eavesdropped on a certain dialogue between two servants who accidentallymet in Bath, England. one day in the year 1775. Thus Sheridan in his excellent play The Rivals chose a very old but successful medium, gossip, to introduce two of his principal characters. The large audience in the Indepen- dence l-ligh School Auditorium, being human, became all eyes and ears and leaned' forward eagerly to catch the gossiping words of Fag. Captain Absolute's servant, and Thomas, coachman to Sir Anthony Absolute, his father, as their tongues wagged of the interesting se- crets of their masters. P Many braved the big snow storm to witness the opening per- formance of a two nights engagement of the play given by the Seniors, December eighteenth and nineteenth. The advance seat sale had already insured the financial success of the play. Contrary to past senior plays, the curtain rose promptly, and all were certainly grati- fied at the excellent performance of the amateur players, who seemed to have been trained and molded each to fit the character he was por- traying. - I - The Rivalsi' is not a deep play, but was written only to please and entertain. lt is a play in which the men outnumber the women and play the leading roles. But as nothing is complete without the feminine touch, three women also play important parts. Mrs. Malaprop was well played by Miss Virginia Ross, whose excellent enunciation of the long misapplied words afforded consider- able humor and amusement. I-ler eccentric costume and make up. and her confident manner won much praise for her from the critics, Miss Gertrude Bruess in the role of Lydia Languish, Mrs. Mala- prop's refractory niece, deserves praise for her interpretation of the self willed, romantic, spoiled young lady of the period, whose co- quettish ways, vocal gifts and her beauty and charm won for her the heart of the handsome Beverly-Captain Absolute, incognito. l-ler lines were clearly spoken and her manner pleasing and graceful. She could easily have handled a more difficult emotional part had the play afforded such. Miss julia McDonald acquitted herself well as julia, ward to Sir Anthony Absolute, because of her vivacious manner and adap- tability to the part. She captivated the audience with her charming personality, costumes, smiles and glances. -50- Ebe Rivals-Gionlinueb Mr. Jack Custead as Sir Anthony Absolute, the unreasonable, choleric and ironwilled father brought the first applause with his opening words. l-lis makeup, appearance, interpretation of his lines, and unusual dramatic ability, all conduced to lend interest and at- tention to his speeches, and give to him the undisputed laurels of the play. lndeed, many of his admirers were disappointed that curtain calls due him were omitted. ln Act ll and Scene lll, in their lodgings, we see Captain Abso- lute and his rival, Bob Acres, who does not suspect his friend Absolute of being Beverly, the favored suitor to the hand of Lydia. Absolute successfully uses strategy with his father and Lydia's aunt to see his sweetheart-thus defying them. Mr. Brady as Captain Absolute had the inherent qualities for the part and was easy and natural in his speeches and actions. joseph jefferson, who made The Rivals famous, starred in the role of Acres. This important and difficult part was played by Mr. Burgess, Fighting Bob, who, awkward, ludicrous, preposterous and infatuated, presents a striking contrast to the handsome, polished soldier, Captain Absolute. ln fact, the part was filled with so many possibilities of hne acting that Mr. Burgess deserves much praise for his creditable performance, and succeeded in pleasing and satisfying the audience. The instability, stupidity, conceit and faint hearted- ness of the red-headed Bob were played upon by the fiery-tempered, resolute Sir Lucius O'Trigger and culminated in the one thrill of the play, the duel at King's-Mead Field. Sir Lucius O'Trigger is the next character of importance after Acres. This Irishman, believing the end justified the means, bribed a maid and stole a kiss to learn secrets, and in fact, he was so deter- mined to have his plans succeed, he was Willing to substitute in the duel. Mr. Flanders, who played this part, lacked force at times, but acted some parts so well that they stand out clearly and will be re- membered. Faulkland, the lover of julia, by Mr. Roberts was well interpret- ed. While his voice lacked strength, he portrayed all the qualities of the character-jealousy, suspicion and weakness. lVliss Caroline jones successfully acted the part of the clever double-dealing Lucy, maid to Lydia, and Mr. Shook merited much praise in the part of Fag, the faithful and obedient servant of Captain Absolute. Minor parts acted by Miss Flowers, Miss McGinley, Mr. Donaldson and Mr. Duncan were well taken. -51... r . -w W r I U1 I0 I W 1 Hivals-Conlinueb The properties, scenery and costumes were well suited to the period and the remarkable rapidity of the scene shifting deserves mention. The success of the play was due to the high standard of the selection, a classic drama, and the careful training of the players by their youthful director, Miss Marguerite Echardt, one of our own High School graduates. Between acts and scenes the audience was well entertained by Professor Eaton's orchestra, which furnished a good selection of classic and popular music. The Senior Class of l9l5 succeeded so well in their production of The Rivals that it is hoped the classes which follow will endeavor to give plays of equal merit and excellence, and, if their purpose is accomplished the Seniors will feel happy and gratified. - Martha Robinson, 'l7.

Time and circumstance create their leaders. The Princeton schoolmaster has become the American statesman! To-day, our nation. dangerously near the brink of an awful world-strife, is guided in the paths of peace by a great leader. clear of vision, broad of mindg one who knows whither he goes and why he takes that course. ' The spirit of an omnipotent God was deep- er in our hearts than we knew when we as a nation chose to lead us that great serene soul-Woodrow Wilson. In our choice we have followed. consciously or unconsciously, Carlyle's philosophy: The man of intellect at the top of affairs. This is the aim of all con- stitutions if they have any aim. For the man of true intellect is the whole-hearted man, withal, the noble, the just, humane and valiant man. But who is Wilson? What environment brought him forth? What of his ancestral heritage? Woodrow Wilson came from a sturdy line of Scotch-Irish. I-lis forefathers were stout-hearted, free-thinking men who faced triumph' or defeat with the same composureg men of imagination and daring, unswerving in purposeg shrewd. men of action. yet men who had the profoundest reverence for learning and piety. From these ancestors Mr. ,Wilson has inherited his characteristic firmness, forcefulness. and fortitude. . I-lis happy boyhood was spent in a home whose refining influence has colored all his life. l-lis f ather. a Presbyterian minister and schol- ar, was widely informed on the affairs of the world, a recognized judge of good literature, and a man of vast imaginative power. From him young Wilson received an education more varied. more practical and sound than books alone could ever give. A year at a Presbyterian school in North Carolina prepared him for entrance to Princeton University, the institution around which much of his career has centered. Because of his strong personality and forcefulness, heiwas soon prominent in the class of 187 9, a group remarkable for its men who have become famous. Woodrow Wilson entered Princeton with a career in view, and in less than a year that career was determined. Democratic government was his passion. The tenor of human rights vibrated in every utterance of his thought. Kept faithful with a singleness of aim. he followed withunremitting -54+ persistence the course which has led him to greatness. I-le won recog- nition in debate for his clear understanding of governmental princi- ples. I-Ie was connected with several literary publications, and the crowning event of his senior year was the publishing by the lnterna- tional Review of his article, Cabinet Government in the United States. Thus his literary career began. To detail the steps leading to Mr. Wilsons acceptance of the professorship of Politics in Princeton, would be tedious. But after eleven years, the graduate of '79 returned to his alma mater a famous man of letters, an eloquent speaker, and an experienced teacher. When the president of the university resigned in 1902, there was no question as to his successor. Wilson, the prepared, came into his natural heritage. ln Princetons annals this was an epoch-making day, foretelling the downfall of money distinction and ushering in a fresher, more wholesome aristocracy of intellect and merit. From Princeton to politics was but a step. Mr. Wilson's fight for a democratic educational system had gained the admiration of the thinking world. The Democrats of New jersey nominated him for governor, and the result of the election was an overwhelming evidence of his strength with the people. During Governor Wilsons term more progressive laws were put on the statute books of New jersey than are recorded in all her previous history. His strong fight against party machines, his struggle for cleaner election laws, his loyalty to the platform, won to his side the progressive Democrats of the nation. Their approbation expressed itself in 1912, when Wood- row Wilson was nominated as the Democratic candidate for the Pres- idency. This was distinctly a movement of citizens rather than poli- ticians, of the people rather than party leaders. lvlr. Wilson's election was unique. It was the outcome of pe- culiar conditions caused by a break in the opposing party. Early in the administration, before the clouds of war had begun to overshadow the world, Mr. Wilson championed, and carried through Congress four great measures which alone would make the administration memorable. By these, the tariff was reformed, currency was revised, trusts restricted, and the regional banks established. With wonder- ful tact the President gained the support not only of opposing fac- tions in his own party, but of all party organizations. By this time our relations with Mexico had become ominous. The climax was reached when the United States troops occupied Vera Cruz. After holding the city until respect for the Stars and Stripes was assured, the troops were withdrawn. For this President Wilson has been harshly criticised by some of our more aggressive citizens, yet the outcome of his watchful waiting has fully justified the course. To-day we are at peace,-our sister nations are in the death-grapple of war! ...SS- The Mexican trouble had scarcely subsided before the European war was raging. The difficulties and dangers of our situation are evident. Scarcely a day has come without its complications, with- out its harrowing problems. In his effort to preserve our neutrality, what constant attention, what skillful diplomacy, what masterly self- control has our Presidentevidenced! Whether he was placed at the head of our government by mere circumstance, or by destiny, we know not. Nevertheless the whole American nation is proud to-day of her leader, proud of the legislation he has secured, proud of his consistent democracy, proud of his uprightness. And we who love peace are everlastingly grateful that ours is a chief in whose mind human life out-balances belligerency. I-lis strength is not measured in resound- ing arms. His is the serene strength of peace. 'Tis he whose law is reason, who depends Upon that law as on the best of friends, And, through the heat of conflict, keeps the law In calmness made, and sees what he foresaw. ln Woodrow Wilson there is not the fiery dash of a military ruler, nor the pomp and pageantry of a monarch, yet hes a man for a' that , a true American, who has given us a finer conception of democracyg a champion of right, who shouts, HI will never cry peace so long as there is wrong in the world , a gentleman and a scholar, a far-seeing statesman and a practical economist, worthy of the high- est office the people can confer. Imagine this man of rich literary and ethical culture, of the fine fibre and courteous spirit of a gentle- man: a man of humanity, with a heart responsive to the deeper and sweeter emotions-yet a man who is fitted and able to cope with the complications of the busy world. Then add to this a shrewd knowl- edge of men, tact, sparkling humor, and a spirit of leadership-and you have characterized Woodrow Wilson, the man in whose hand lies the nation's, yes, the world's hope of peace, progress and prosperity. julia McDonald, '15 . ... 55 ... Ebe Soutb Tbbe Greatest national TASSQI H There is a new spirit in the old South to-day-that spirit means opportunity. By the Old South we mean a South based on the oldest elements of the South, we mean a South of the old charm, splendor, hospitalityl but the words imply the application of man's energies to opportunities which have long lain unclaimed. Before the war, self-centered, loyal only to herself 1 to-day, the South is nationalized, intensely loyal to herself and to her nation. The South, possessing a certain Toryism, a certain conservative bent, due to the original scattered nature of her populace and consequent adherence to worn customs, when stirred by progressiveism has become pecu- liarly active-in such a community will progressiveism find speedy fulmination. The opportunities of they South demand a great and profitable utilization of her material resources which make the South a ,field for great national prosperity. As her natural and material opportunities become more thoroughly understood and developed, the position of national moment which the South holds becomes more strategic. The South is the nation's greatest asset-the nation's prosperity rests on the South. The South has certain natural gifts which indicate an even greater South than the New South which has already attracted so much interest and enthusiasm. Let us consider the importance of these, not to the South in particular, but to the nation. First, the coast line. The value of a coast line depends upon its ease of access to the commerce of the world. The Southern states, with a coast line far greater than those of the North Atlantic and Pa- cific coast states, possess an enoumous advantage which asserts its influence-a southern port, Galveston, holds the second place for exports among all the United States ports. The Panama canal is pulling southward every inter-oceanic movement -southern ports are on the very front door step of the world's commerce. Second, navigable streams and water powers. According to a report of the National Conservation Commission, there are, in the United States, twenty-six thousand, four hundred and ten miles of navigable streams, of which, excluding the Ohio and Missouri rivers which benefit the South, eighteen thousand, two hundred and fifteen are in the South. To-day this is not utilized, but the day is coming when it will be and then the inland cities will be given water-borne opportunities to become centers of commercial importance. The , -57- most powerful possibility of the South in water power lies in the South- ern Appalachian Range. ln no part of our country is water power so conveniently arranged as in the South-near to extensive plains where factories can be easily erected, and, round about, hills full of valuable materials waiting for the employment of this wonderful power to become influential manufacturing areas. Third, minerals and forests. Though coal resources of several of the western states exceed those of the South, the southern coal fields are advantageously accessible to navigable streams, which privi- lege the Western States do not enjoy. The South has the largest and best cooking-coal fields in the United States, or in the world. The inevitable result is that, as the demand for coal grows in those non- coal producing countries, the world will recognize the South as its chief source of supply. Abundance of natural gas and oil, power in- dustries necessary to industrial advancement, lies in the South. An English authority says, The South is the Gibraltar of the lights and fuels of the world. Add to these copious minerals of the South, the great iron riches of the southern Appalachians, a practical monopol-y in phosphate, manganese, sulphur, Fullers earth, and some of the rarer metals, a complete monopoly in bauxite and asbestos, and lastly the immense clay, stone and cement resources-we see the won- derful mineral wealth with which nature has endowed the South. Of the remaining forest area of the United States, the South owns a little more than forty per cent., which is the only home of the long-leaf pine and the cypress, and which is practically the only area of hard wood left as a source of future supply. The South is pre-eminent in forest ownership and products, ' Fourth, temperature and precipitation. More than any other part of the Union, the South combines an excellent temperature for agricultural pursuits and an abundant rainfall. All of those materi- als for food and clothing which come out of the ground are producible in the climate of the South. ' Lastly, her agricultural lands wherein probably her greatest opportunities lie. There are two great necessities to human civili- zation: first, foodg and second, clothing. The demands for the last are only sufficiently supplied by the annual cotton crop in those twelve states of the American Union lying along the South Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. These states produce three-fourths of the worlds supply of raw cotton, upon which the great majority of the civilized and semi-civilized nations is absolutely dependent-this annual yield of cotton is of vital importance to the peace, prosperity, and comfort of millions of people. The South controls the practical monopoly of one of the two great world's necessities. For several years the aggregate sale of lint cotton and seed has been between seven and eight hundred million dollars, which sum is twice the annual -58- output of the gold mines of the world. The annual export of raw cotton from the South brings to the Unites States an income of about four billion dollars. The export of raw cotton, exchanged for gold from England and Europe, establishes a safe protection to American financial institutions-the production and sale of this annual staple crop of the South, the enormous power its wealth represents, the de- pendence of foreign nations upon it is an affair in which the American nation is as vitally concerned as are the people and institutions of that section in which the crop is produced. Cotton is king, but the South is promoting national prosperity by increasing the world's goods in other lines. l-ler sugar cane and rice industries, as well as her cotton industry, are a cementing bond between the United States and foreign nations. The South, with its accessible markets, con- venient transportation system, and settled civilization has awakened to progressive agriculture. The rapidity and soundness of southern industrial development is remarkable! The South is not a lazy man's land. The lazy man does not live there. War, half a century ago, left the South stunned, prostrated, humiliated, she was held by force into the Union she had sought to abandon. To-day, she has come back to rule that Union. She has regained her prestige and started on a march of progress. She has restored her institutions, rebuilt her cities, paid' her debts, developed a wealth and prosperity never dreamed of. I-ler material develop- ment has been wonderful! The historian Fiske, points out these five men who shaped the American Union, -Washington, jefferson, Madison, Marshall, and Hamilton, four of whom are from the South. Is it not fitting that to-day the New South should resume the leader- ship of that Union? The South, represented by the leading men of our government is indeed at the Ship of State. This noble, alive, southern element, exerting its splendid influence, is indispensible in our government. The typical Southerner of to-day is an American. America is his land, the American flag is his flag. The typical South- erner is full of sentiment-he loves his home, he loves his country. I-le believes in democracy-a government of the people, by the peo- people, and for the people. There is a kind of Hlyric rapture in the accents of the true Southerner to-day, when he tells of the glorious development and noble influence of the South. I-le has every reasonto be proud of his Southland! ln this age of power, wealth, and freedom, the South is the greatest asset- of the greatest nation of the world! Southern chivalry is not dead,-it is working to-day under new conditions and with new forces. lt is a pervading passion for righteousness, a vicarious love for humanity, an unselfish enthusiasm to spend itself in helping to develop the nation on the solid foundation of social justice, health and purity. I ' Virginia Ross, 15. .-59... Water Tflower as a Source of 'Energy in mooern Civilization C fnglisl7 'Ilrize Tfssayl This is an age of science, an age of science throughout all the civilized countries of the world. Observation has matured in measurement and passed from the qualitative to the quantitativeg generalization is a habit, and provision has become a common place in current life. More than all else, the course of nature has come to be investigated in order that it may be re-directed along lines con- tributing to human welfare. ln this investigation it has been found that water power, as a source of energy, has proven to be an extremely important factor. Further invention has become a step toward cre- ation, and is extending beyond purely mechanical lines even into the realms of the chemical and of the vital. Now is the time of con- quest over nature in the practical sense. Probably one of the most important steps ever taken by primi- tive man in his almost unconscious efforts to escape from barbarism was the discovery of the wheel. At first the wheel was driven by manual toil or by the use of beasts, but when, after many centuries, wind and water came into use man saw opening up a wider vista which promised speed of production and more leisure to him who could harness the natural elements to his service. There must have been joy when the first wheel turned in the wind, or a mad clapping of hands when one of these rough contrivances first creaked beneath the force of a dashing mountain stream. But we are not interested so much by the use of water power in primitive times, as we are at the present day in water power and its development as a source of energy in modern civilization. Three predominant elements make life possible upon this earth -sunlight, air and water-and while we have only a limited control over them, we are permitted to take advantage of their benefits and to make them supply the needs of mankind. Two of these funda- mental elements of life enter into the process by which this never ceasing gift of nature is perpetuated. The heat of the sun vaporizes and raises the water from the surface of the seas and lakes, and the movements of the air directed by wind currents, carry the vapor over the land into cooler air strata, where it is condensed, and the water is precipitated in the form of rain or snow. The mountain brooks collect that portion of the rainfall which is not taken up by the earth, vegetation and evaporation, and pass it down to the rivers as they -60- ' flow back to the sea. Perpetual motion, guided by the hand of nature, would seem' to have been accomplished in this continuance action of the water. ' To the people of the earth is given the privi- lege and problem of making the best possible use of this abundant resource, to protect it from waste, and to compel it to do man's bidding for man's benefit and enjoyment. For years nature has presented the spectacle of wasted energy in water courses, but now the work of saving the wasted power appeals strongly to all who give the subject any serious thought. We have always had at hand, in the world, an energy so tremendous that it is difficult for mind to comprehend it-the energy of falling water, in- exhaustible and continuing, to the extent of over one hundred forty million horse power, and this energy is allowed to flow away unused each year. lt is possible to extract this energy from the water fall without diminishing the volume of water one iota. In the matter of power developed from coal the case is vastly different and directly opposite to that of water. Coal once consumed is lost forever, while water is constantly returning to do duty again and again. Water power, which was formerly the chief reliance of mankind in industry, has been greatly overshadowed in recent times by the cheapness of coal and the development of the steam engine. This condition, while permanent to all present practical purposes, is never- the-less, upon a broad view of the subject merely temporary. Two hundred and fifty years ago, when almost limitless forests stretched across the vast stretches of the new countries, the idea of a scarcity of wood and timber appeared grotesque. At the present day, the idea of the exhaustion of the existing deposits of coal appears equally so. Nevertheless that time is certainly coming. The deposits of coal in the world are limited, every ton taken from the mines leaves a ton less to be mined. Coal does not, like water, have the power of reproduction even to the extent that wood or timber has. Coal de- posits are simply an enormous store of fuel in rapid process of de- struction by fire. Water on the other hand will continue to stand mankind in good stead long after the reluctant earth has given up its last ton of coal. - There is no tendency to claim that the almost universal turn to steam, because of its constancy of power, was not based upon fundaf' mental necessities. lt was one of the reasons for the industrial ada vancements in the world, and it must always mark an epoch in civilization. But it was not without its detriment. The tide of in- dustrial favor turned squarely away from water power. It was a Hdethroned monarch and there were few gave it thought. Recent remarkable developments in electricity such as the electric generator, and the perfection of power transmission systems. have almost recalled water power to its former position in industrial life, and have made it a valuable asset. These noteworthy changes -gld have eliminated the necessity of locating the factory immediately at the site of the water-power development. The energy of the water fall, through the medium of electricity, may be delivered to the con- sumer at pointstdistantly removed from the water fall, and be used for.light, heat and power, which under the economy of present day life, have practically become present necessities in every growing community. Heretofore the energy of consolidated sunlight stored up in coal has supplied these necessities through the medium of steam, but as the coal supply diminishes and its price rises and we realize the enormous waste of power - even with our most modern boilers and high efficiency engines-the value of its rival will become more apparent, and men will turn to the better source of power which water furnishes. - ,. - Two general methods of applying water power are now in use. The first consists in conducting the water, by means of canals, to the several establishments requiring power. ln the second the whole operationof converting the water into mechanical power, and the latter into a' form suitable for transmission is performed in a single establishment, called a power house, whence it is transmitted to the several users. The principal machines used in extracting this energy from falling water are the hydraulic motor, water turbine and water wheel. . Thus, in the development of water power as a source of energy in modern civilization, we see an approach to the ideal arrangement of centralized production of power, we see a force which causes civilization to look upon it with respect, as the greatest source of energy to be developed for the present age and for the coming generations. And so far, it is the only source of power which is reasonably constant, and the use of which does not lead to the ex- haustion of natural capital. Moreover, with improvements in the production and transmission of electricity, and the discovery of new methods of manufacturing with the aid of electricity, a new epoch has arisen in which industrial progress is no longer dependent upon, or measured by the cheapness of coal. During the next hundred years, the areas, in which manufacturing industries are most thickly gathered, will not only be situated upon the coal fields, but also in those districts 'where water pursues its most vigorous progress toward the sea. And the-beautiful places on earth, formerly known only to the tourist, the simple shepherd, or the hunter, will have their fast- ness invaded, and their silence, now broken only by the roar of the waters, will reverberate softly to the hum of turbine wheels.

This year, the musical life of the l-ligh School has been centered in the music classes rather than in the Glee Clubs as formerly. Music has been introduced as a regular studyg entrance to the classes elective: and one years work credited one point. F or lack of space. the stage has been used as a class room. There are two courses, the l-larmony. and the Chorus, which meet regularly on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. V L . . The purpose is not to turn out full fledged artists, but rather to foster and promote the highest ideals of good music1 to broaden the musical knowledge of the school through a study of good chorusesg to stimulate the interest in music by the study of its formation and composition: to quicken the ear through the ability to recognize dif- ferent combinations of tones: to help and encourage the individual voice through well chosen exercises and vocal drill. But even with music introduced as a regular study into the I-ligh School. the greatest and most important demand has not yet been fulfilled: the demand for a High School Qrchestra. So far sufficient material has not been found, but if each and every music lover would do his best to get all students interested. ere long the Grchestra would materialize. Although there are several good violinists, you can't have an orchestra of violins alone. You, High School students who spend your summer grumbling about the heat, get a cornet, trombone, clarinet or flute, and get to work and learn to play. lf nothing else, learn to beat a drum. The school needs your talent. For after all, what is life without music? Everything you meet expresses itself with musical accents. and 'iThe music fed soul is the soul with the happy heart. the bright hopes, and the endless life. Music is the language spoken by the angels, And surely that must be the perfect language. y Q .I P. o.. ie. -6S.. ll l Ebe Senior Quartet The Senior class of 1915, being noted for its varied and abound- ing course of advancement has not failed to show its wonderful musical talent. For the past four years there has been almost no source of harmony that could be connected with any of the classes, but this year the Senior class has established the precedent of invent- ing something new and-Behold., we have the Senior Quartet . We challenge any educational institution, anywhere, to produce a more harmonious, popular and good looking bunch of male beings than ours. , From the soul sending bass of Mr. Shook, the classical baritone of Mr. Custead, the magnificent lead of Mr. Roberts and the stately majestic tenor of Mr. Flanders, we have harmony, every inch of it harmony, or perhaps l should say, every note of it harmony. As for popularity, our Senior Quartet is so very popular, it is with great difficulty that we are able to Find any open dates. Members of almost any well known organization, i. e., the Knights of Pythias, the Masonic Lodge or any of the churches, often have the pleasure of listening to our melodious Four. As for the good looking qualities of our Four, I do not feel equal to the occasiong the reader must see and hear for himself. C.

It teaches no trade or prepares for no calling or profession. It gives us as wide a training in the practical side of school as it does in the literary and, later, commercial fields. lt develops and stimulates all minds, and opens all the windows by which youth looks out upon the activities of life, 'and it unbars .every entrance thereto. I t com- bines positive manual elements with the course of study, and aims at intelligence and general culture in more than one direction. Now let us look at the equipment by which we gain this develop- ment and the order in which the training is given. Our shop con- tains fifteen work benches with fittings, eleven lathes, a bandsaw, circular saw, and a mortise machine. The first year is spent in wood working, making library tables, cedar chests, mirror frames, and many other pieces of valuable furniture. ln the second year comes the lathe work or wood turning. Here candle sticks, fancy boxes, electric lamps, and other ornamentals are constructed. Metal working, in the third year, completes the course. Mr. I-lifner, one of the best instructors west of the Mississippi, formerly headed the de- -57- partment, but this yearihe has been superseded by Mr. Morris, a most competent trainer in this line. As we know, an exercise, whether with tools or with books, is valuable only in proportion to the demand it makes upon the mind for skilled, thoughtful work. So in our M. T. the only real, and the best habit acquired is that of thinking. No blow is struck, no line drawn, no motion directed from muscular habit. The quality of every act of the student in this branch comes from his conscious will aided by a definite act of intelligence. A S '15 . . , . -53- l I .M .Q v.

Frank Alvah Parsons, president of the New York School of Fine and Applied Arts, has expressed our own opinions and aims in a far better way than I could ever hope to do. I-le says: I believe that harmony is the law of life and is the fundamental in the Divine Economy, that man expresses this law of harmony, which is Beauty. Bring Art down from that high, ethereal, insurmountable pedes- tal on which the majority of people place it, and mix it thoroughly into everyday life. Art will not be the loser and the routine of daily living will certainly be vastly benefited thereby. These are the ideas that the Art Department endeavors to spread throughout the school. It tries to teach the pupil to put harmony into the common necessities-the arrangement of dress and coiffeur, with reference to color and design, consistent with one's individuality. Our four years' course leads up to this. Take, for instance, in the Freshman class, the study of the profile with hair dressing. A group of rather extreme profiles were given to the pupils, who were to sketch in hair in such a style as to make less prominent the poor features-a receding or a protruding nose or chin-and to accentuate the good points, in a second sketch, the worst possible use of the hair was made. The results-finely harmonious effects beside the highly ridiculous-could not but show the striking importance of the hair in the making or the marring of a face. In the Sophomore class, the pupils planned dresses for one another, suiting them not to their own tastes, entirely, but rather to the individuality of the person for whom they were intended. So we endeavor to bring our Art into Life, we put it into posters, advertisements-things which seem, and in far too many cases are- greatly removed from Art. But in all this stress of Art in life, the ever-present beauties of Nature are by no means forgotten. They have their place, a high and important one in our Art room, for, after all, it is about Nature and Nature's children that the whole Art work revolves. I-LF. '15 -71- -WHAT MARE us 77flM0US- .

Devoted to women suffrage, clothes, eats, dancing and all questions of world importance. SO Tl-lE SUFFS MAY KNOW Newton Bound to Win. Although the rising young grocer, Charles W. Brady, jr., son of the Post Master at Independence, aspires to the senatorship from Missouri, in the coming election, our champion, Miss Gladys Newton, by her earnestness for the cause, her gentle persistency, and carefree grace is bound to win when the Senate is graced by her august pressure, a new day will dawn for oppressed woman. We will succeed, not with standing the opposition of that two - footed varmint, called man. Last week Miss Newton lectured from the top of Miss Warnock's woodshed, and took down the house, but it went in a good cause, dear sisters! What is one woodshed when compared to our Gladys' triumph. Let it fall, we repeat it, let it fall! Woodsheds are naught when women pre- vail. Shall women's prestige go to the earth like that tottering woodshed? Shall it dear sisters? Decide in our next election. . .Q- NOTED AGRICULTURIST ARRIVES ' john l-loover Shook, P.D.Q., DF., T.W., blew into our fair city today and will address Congresh tomorrow. Mr. Shook is staying at the Feedwell, and was interviewed this morning by a reporter from the Scream. l-le said, To any young man just starting on his career, I would say back to the farm, young man, back to the farm, and grow up with the goslings. Of course farm life has its drawbacks. To me, life with out dates is l-lamlet without Hamlet. But altho, few Annabelles grow in the rural districts, there are plenty of bluebells and cow bells and dinner bells-and l have grown to love Mother Nature, as l do the rest of the fair sex. AT THE THEATRES . Gertrudis, the versatile little tragedian, who has wrung tears from thousands, is starring at the Orpheum this week in an act entitled Following the Gleamf' Ger- trudis will be remembered by her friends as Gertie Bruess, made in the U. S. A., who in her earlier years evinced such dramatic talent that she was sent to New York to study under Custead. Gertrude has good references from this great theatrical manager, so it is certain that anyone seeing her will get a good ten cents' worth. Married,' Presented by Erick 82 Evans, is another good act at the Orpheum this week. ,.:.1L.Eea.,ezl.1 ZZZTQQW fxeign Y-----t. Ya- -..--.q-W-.. ... A .

' The Cutupn Is the title of a naughty, shocking skit, put on by Alma Tharpe Willuby. This might be all right in burlesque, but the Scream is forced to censure it as presented before the eyes of innocent babes. ARTISTS desiring a beautiful man as model will be delighted to learn that Mr. I-larry Elemerico Robertsino is now avail- able. Mr. Robertsino is the oldest member of the X. Y. Z. Company, remembered for the - high-browsing they did in Independence I-Iigh School. Critics have called him the second Apollo Belvedere, a very epitome of manly beauty. This model is perfectly willing to serve day or night and asks no remuneration other than seeing his classic picture adorning all the publications of the day. We are sorry we were unable to print a picture, but the demand was so great that none were left when we applied.

We have endeavored to present in these pages some of the phases of Independence activities, which we as students wish long to OUR remember, and which may be of interest to any not yet AIM familiar with Independence work. We want the Gleam to be not only a memory book, but a living exponent of student activities. We do not know how far we have succeeded in this diffi- cult matter. In getting up our Gleam we did not think it neces- sary to arrange it like preceding ones, but we have tried to represent all departments of school life. As usual the girls are the ones who are doing things. A girls' assembly, where the things of interest to girls are discussed and in which the girls themselves take an active part, has been quite an in- novation in our High School life. This plan, intro- THE duced by the women of the faculty, has been en- GIRLS' thusiastically accepted by the girls and good -results ASSEMBLY from the meetings are already visible. The purpose ' of this plan is to further intimate relations between the girls and the teachers and to give the girls a chance to freely and sincerely express their opinions on school affairs. We have had the pleasure to hear Mrs. Gossow, Mrs. Ess. Miss Lea, and many other interesting women. These talks have been the means of students securing valuable outside and practical knowledge, that they could not otherwise have received from the regular high school course. In this way also those pupils who must enter the business world after leaving school need not choose their vocation blindly, but are given some idea of the requirements, advantages and disadvantages on the more com- mon fields of work open to the feminine high school graduate. ' --75-- Gleamlels j. Hoover Shook was cut up, on the south side of the Square during Thanksgiving holidays. None of the particulars were learned. The plainer a girl sees a geom. prop.. the plainer she is, so cheer up, junior girls theres still hope for you. We notice that Gladys Browning is rarely seen in study without her sport coat. We always thought it was a pleasure to go to school, but had never considered it among the sports before. Mr. Elliot says that shoes, when polished, keep the feet warmg we therefore draw the conclusion that Charlie Brady suffers contin- ually from cold feet. Mrs. Gossow. in her talk to the girls, said that one should never fuss or become excited on a full stornachf' This will explain the reason why the Gleam Staff always has its meetings before lunch. We have often been asked who the real president of the junior class is. We really don't know, but frorn indications judge Prof. Sexton holds its office. Speaking the 'Ilublic minbf Eolitofs Note-The purpose of this department is to freely express the ideas and opinions of the pupils on the vital ques- tions concerning our school. To the Gleam.-Of all the entertainments given in the high school assembly, I think the plays are the most interesting and instructive, not only to the audience but to the actors themselves. Loyal To the Gleam.-After I have seen several of the programs given by the several classes, I am greatly impressed by the fact that we need a department of dramatic training. It therefore behooves some one to lay the proposition before the Board, then we should see a stronger tie between school and town, between the students and School Board. A. L. To the Glearn.-Could not our public library afford more accom- modation for the general public? It is only open from nine to four- thirty o'clock. Why could not, with all the valuable material there, the library be open from at least eight o'clock in the morning until ten at night? A. Student. To the Glearn.-There is some complaint about the lack of spirit in Independence. I-Iow can we increase it best? Naturally by one and all deciding that we must have some. But to arouse interest in the first place would not different organizations among the boys and girls be the right thing? A junior Girl. To the Gleam.-In no other department could that spirit of leth- argy which is slowly depressing all pride, be more easily banished from I. H. S. than in the organization of an aggressive and enthusi- astic athletic association. I-I. R. fWith apologies to the Kansas City Star. - 77- 1 ilu- TI'lIIfl'IE5 QNX Q?

A successful season was expected, for seven I men reported for practice, besides some promising green material. The first game was with our old enemy, Lee's Summit. The team, hardened by -many days of strenuous practice, tore into the enemy for long gains. On the following Friday we played Central Business College who were considered the strongest College team in Kansas City. The game ended 30 to 6, with I. I-I. S. on the long end of the score. In this game Smiley Stewart came out of the game with a Charley horse. Our third game was with the deaf mutes. The team put up a good fight but our heavier opponents were too much for us, winning by a score of 26 to 6. 'The next game was with the Mohawk A. C. of Kansas City. I. I-I. S. went into the game in a crippled condition because of the closely contested game of the previous week. After fighting for four quarters the game ended with the score 35 to 0 in our opponents' favor. The Season closed with l. H. S. winning five games out of seven, which was a very good record but would have been better if there had not been so many injuries. Q E. S., 15. ..79...

ELMER STEWART QUA RT E R BACK Although new to the position of quar- ter back, Smily ran the team like a veteran quarter. Smily was always full of pep, playing hard but clean. His broken Held running opened the eyes of the opposing teams and caused foot ball critics to sit up and take notice. This is Smileys third year on the team. He is a Senior. ,SO- HOLLIS GEORGE END Has won his third I this season. He weighs 150 lbs. and is 5 ft. 105 in. tall. Hollis made the team this year because of his two years of experience.

He weighs 135 pounds and is 5 ft. 8 in. tall. Dick is a Senior. -gg- i K ffl. TIT. 5. vs. Wentworth 522. ZX. With a squad of eight men on january l l Coach Sexton journeyed to Lexington to play our ancient enemy Wentworth lvl. A. We chose the following five to do battle for us: Stuart and McCoy, for- wards: Cassel, center: Sturges and Thompson, guards. Brilliant team work and spectacular dribbling was the feature of play. McCoy at free throws was at his best. making l5 out of 17 attempts. Thomp- son and Sturges played brilliantly at guard and it was largely through their brilliant defense and lVlcCoy's free throwing that we won. The first half ended with the score l7 to 16 in our favor. In the sec- ond half, one minute l. H. S. would be in the lead and then Went- worth would forge to the front. ln the last minute of play McCoy put in a free throw enabling us to win by the score of 24-23. This game was not only a triumph over our old enemy but made us recog- nized all over the State. E. S. '15, ..33.. TI. TIT. S.

' 2 ' The Gleam l9l5 ' ' wx If 1 Amid the distractions of an unusually busy term, the A Muses have refused to visit me, and hence, I find my- self unable to offer to the readers of the Gleam anything :Qi even smacking of originality. No doubt they will be UW? H4 the better for it in the end. I think so, at least, especi W j ally since I happened a few days ago upon the re .lf markable speech on The Tenure of judicial Office delivered by Rufus Choate, in 1853, before the Constitu- I' tional Convention of Massachusetts. As briefly as possi- ble, I wish to set forth the arguments of that uncommon deliverance, in order that your attention may thus be directed to a great American oration, logical, sane, simple in its diction, and yet, it seems to me, most mas- J terful and compelling in effect. Then, too, I am glad of the opportunity to declare my modest adherence to its ' doctrines, even at the possible cost of being dubbed areactionary in these days of initiative and referendum and agitation for the judi- cial recall. In the space allotted to me I can reproduce only a dry brief of Mr. Choate's points, but I shall be pleased if thereby even a very few be induced to read the oration itself. That judges should be appointed by the executive for life or during good behavior was Choates text, and first he wished, as all men wish, that there should be the best possible judge on every bench. Then who is the best judge? I-le must be profoundly learned in the 488.4 law, he must be no respecter of persons, and he must possess the per- fect confidence of the community. I-low, then, shall such qualities be most surely procured? In England, until the Revolution of 1688, the judges held office at the will of the Crown. Since that time, they have been appointed for life. A slight knowledge of the history of the English bench is enough to convince one that the later system is the better. The Constitution of the United States, formulated after long de- bate by a body of men famed for political wisdom, provides that Federal judges shall be appointed by the executive to hold office during good behavior. State judges have always been so appointed in Massachusetts, and the system has worked wellg the bench of Massachusetts always has been and still is among the very best of all those in our land. - The basic purposes of American Government are the preserva- tion of liberty and security. Liberty is amply secured by the elec- tion of governors, attorneys-general, legislators, Sheriffs, collectors, etc. Security is best attained by the appointment of judges for life or good behavior. Chas. D. Capelle, 1900. The Gleam, 1915: Perhaps you may be interested in the junior College, an educa- tional experiment which California is making. There are nine of these colleges throughout the state, established and supported lo- cally, in connection with high schools. According to the report of the State Commissioner of Public Schools the total enrollment of the junior colleges March l, l9l4, was over seven hundred. They teach subjects which are given in the first two years of the universities, and their graduates are admitted to junior rank in the universities. Their teachers are supposed to have had at least one year of prepara- tion in advance of that required of those who teach in high school alone. The advantages to the students are supposed to be the greater amount of individual attention which they can be given, compared with what they would receive in freshman and sophomore university sections of several hundred eachg and two years more of home influence. The advantage to the universities Cwhen junior colleges are established all over the statej will be the relieving of those institutions of their embarrassing thousands of freshmen and sopho- mores, and the enabling of them to lay greater stress on their advanced Work and thus approach the standard of the great European uni- versities. The junior College here Cin which l am teaching Western l-listory and English Compositionj was established only this year, and offers at present, of course, only freshman subjects. l can see in it both strong and weak points, but am optimistic as to the outcome after it has had time to become well established. The report for l9l4 of the Committee on Credentials, University of California. speaks very favorably of the work done in that University by students from the junior colleges. ln the case of each junior college sending students to the University, the average university scholarship record of the students coming from the college was considerably higher than the corresponding average of students entering the University directly from the same high school. And the average university record of all the students coming from junior colleges was higher than that of all the students coming directly from high schools. , Laura lvl. Kingsbury. -90- '1 he Gleam. 1915: lt is with pleasure that 1 answer your request for a few words con- cerning the class of 1906. No doubt 1 am the least informed person as to general welfare and whereabouts, so this letter is limited to school pranks. 1-listorically, Naughty Six was the enthusiastic starter of a few traditions. As a result of an over anxiety to produce amateur dramatics, we were the first class to organize as underclassmen. The election of officers was brought about in order to have some leader- ship in the production of Striking Gil. Since that time every class has organized during the freshman year. As seniors we helped carry out the first regular foot ball schedule being victorious in six of the seven contests. During the spring of 1906 a track team was entered at the state meet in Columbia, and returned with two points in favor of 1. 1-1, S. But the most daring and original feat of which we boast, was to boldly cut Miss lVIaggie's History class one bright spring af- ternoon, thereby exchanging a written quiz for a wild flower expe- dition. No class before or since has ever showed such signs of ini- tiative nerve. . Our longest suit was a good time. Of course we remember the moonlight night of the Chiles hayride. . Alex W. 1VlcCoy. -91- '09, The Gleam, 1915: A . ' 1 The question after graduation from high school is, for many, not only what college, but, in this age of specialized work, what course to choose. I would like to speak a word to the girls of the high school who are deciding this question about the Home Economics work which is being offered in almost all of the colleges and state universities. The aliveness of the work attracts many and also the fact that a college woman trained in I-Iome Economics can command a better salary than in almost any branch of teaching. Besides the training of teachers the I-Iome Economics work fits one for many special vocations, such as dieticians, keepers of tea rooms, home decorators, costume designers or milliners. Such an education cannot fail to make a woman better able to cope with the prob- lems of the age. The Home Economics movement is a great movement and practically a new one. It offers many opportunities to the Women of today. I hope that Independence High School will furnish to the college some Home Economics students who will perhaps win honor lor their Alma Mater as leaders in the Home Economics work of the future. LOUISE PRITCHETT. n 1902. The Gleam, 1915: Thirteen yearsago I was an editor of the Gleam, an experience which I have never forgotten. The Gleam of 1902 looks very small when compared with those of today, but it meant as much to us as yoursnmeans to you. Our attempt to follow the Gleam has led us into many positionsg some were led to homes, some into professional life, others into the business world, one into the field of engineering and I to the English department of one of our State Normals.

Father, which nourished thee, shall reclaim his boy To help him in the banking businessg And, lost each peg-top pant, surrend'ring up Thy briar and thy bulldog, thou shalt go To mix forever with the common herdg To be a sweetheart to the old-time Sueg To josh the rude swains which thou once wert wont To shun with deep scorn, nor look upon. But not to thy plebeian resting place Shalt thou retire alone, nor couldst thou wish More foxy company. Thou shalt lie down VVith rosy featured juniors, and with Sophs, The powerful of the School-the Sports, the Bugs, Pale Freshies, Seniors versed in ancient lore- All, as though in one mighty sepulchre. So live that when thy summons comes to join Th' indomitable caravan that moves To that sad final week when each must take His quizzes in the silent Oread halls, Thou go not at thy studying at night, Hugging till daylightg but, sustained and soothed - By an unfaltering bluff, approach the Hunks Like one who fills the draperies of his coat Vlfith ponies, and lies down to pleasant dreams! -lOl- Ebe Til. TIT. Ss Tpopularity Oh, Patty, dear, an' did you hear The new that's goin' 'roun'? Vtfhat! No? Wfell, then, you're very slow For the news is o'er the town. Well, it's all about the I. H. S., That folks are talkin' so, But good it is that they all say, So don't look scared. Oh, no! . They tell me that the I. H. S. Is gainin' wondrous fame, So, down in history yet she'll go- Anj her greatness there proclaim. An' why, you want to know, Ifm sure, Well, now, I'll tell you Pat, It's just because the school's alright! An, I'm very sure of that! i First, the teachers, they're alright, They seldom fuss, you know- It's when you get your lessons non, You get-ahem+zerO. But still, I say, there's time for play, 'Cause every Friday night just go and see the I. H. S. Play basket ball-a sight! A sight-a fright--but a delight! For a team that's hard to beat Is that one of the I. H. S., ' They've rarely met defeat. An,, Patty, dear, it's now you hear just what the people say: ,, . .... ,, The school is quite invincible - Three cheers for her-hurray! M. I lf --102- 55oys' Tdssembly This year a new feature of interest was added to our High School by tl1e division of our assembly. The boys, who have always wished for a more intimate acquaintance with the business men of our city and a closer connection with the men of our faculty, welcomed the separation of the assembly, by which this was made possible. Professor Hifner gave to the boys a very interesting account of his travels in the South and the many important features of that country. Mr. lkenberry brought to us a very vivid description of university life, showing its pleasures, its hardships and its possi- bilities, and inspired in the boys a desire to attend that institution. The requirements of a successful business man and the temptations to which he is subjected was explained very clearly and interest- ingly by Mr. Barney Zirk. As a whole, these meetings were a great success and we prophesy a brilliant future for the boys' assemblies. ip H. S., '15. T1l.Ti'f. -5. Tfxkblelic ffxovanlages ' Struggling against a spirit of indifference on the part of many, handicapped by the lack of a gymnasium and proper equipment, the students of I, H. S. have fought steadily onward until the school now bears an enviable reputation in Missouri .state athletics. The inducements offered to the prospective student of I. H. S. are such that he may develop into that rugged type of American youth which dominates the commercial world by its staunch foun- dation of physical strength. The facilities of athletic development lie not so much in num- ber as in efhciency. Among the advantages accessible to the I. H. S. student are an excellent basket ball court, a gridiron, baseball diamond and tennis courts. The athletes representing the school are furnished with all necessary equipment as well as the support of a loyal crowd of enthusiastic boosters. Another claim that I. H. S. may justly look to with some pride is that of its athletic director. No obstacles have been too great, no undertaking too large and no business too urgent but that he might make some sacrifice to promote the welfare of athletics in the school. VVith the resources of a school as large as that of I. H. S., and the organization of a live athletic association such as is being agi- tated bv the students, athletics in the future will undoubtedly sur- pass all previous records. -103- FI NI Ji f QXQA f rw - X ,, X X I.
