Q , s . - Assure Sound Educatlon 'S RECIPROCALS AND COFUNCTIONS fall into place for the Triginometry Class after open discussion with student teacher, Mr. Bilyeu. A vital part of education is learning to understand the problems man faces and how to meet them. Though man learns through experience, the experience gain- ed during one lifetime is not enough to guide humanity in today's complex world. Therefore, the history of others in past generations is studied in order to arrive at an intelligent solution of present-day problems. Mathematics and science are also among the necessary fundamental sub- jects. Everyone uses mathematics, whether conducting his personal day-by- day activities or business and profes- sional affairs. In science, students learn the laws of nature and how they are applied to the problems of living. Courses in mathematics and science at Green- wood are designed to meet both the gen- eral and specialized needs of the stu- dents. A healthy body is as important in to- day's living as a sound mind. The vigor- ous program of recreation and intramural sports of the physical education courses is designed to develop muscular strength and graceful movement, an interest in sports, and such personal qualities as cooperation, fair play, self-control, and self-confidence. Languages and rt Enrich Our Lives GALLIA EST OMNIS DIVISA IN PARTES TRES. Davoren Dustman points out the three parts into which Gaul is divided while Mrs. Rice and members of the Caesar Class look on. Latin students learn not only a background in Roman culture but also gain abetter understanding of their own language as well. Q-M YS- 1 1 1'-.. M ART STUDENTS, Rosemary Stone, Don VandenBrink, Bill Burgess, and Roger Williams, fashion soap figur- ines with the help of student teacher, Dale McLean. The group also did work in sculpturing, painting, and textile designing. .. -..ge4 1 In addition to the fundamental courses, students have an opportun- ity to enrich their lives and express themselves through the study of music, art, and languages. Instruction and experience in art and music help students learn to ex- , press themselves creatively, and thus find new means for relaxation and enjoyment. They learn to see and feel and interpret the beauty around them. This makes possible a continuous growth in fine arts re- sulting in a more enriched life. For some students, the studyof languages plays an important role in their vocation, for others, it affords an opportunity to develop an enjoy- able and lasting interest in the na- ture of a hobby. Besides the actual language, the students learn to ap- preciate and understand the back- ground and customs of other people. Recent developments in international affairs have made clear the need for a more thorough understanding of all nations in the world. ' ,wth MUSICAL RECREATION is enjoyed by members of the Boys' Glee Club as they join Mr. McCurry at the piano in a few old favorites'. Practical Courses Develop Useful kills lag? A BECAUSE A SUCCESSFUL HOMELIFE depends upon the coopera- tion and uncirstanding of all the members of the family, it is just as important for boys to learn the principles of home economics as girls. Members of the first-year Home Economics Class, Susan Haswell, Doy Young, and Becky james, try their hand at cooking as a student teacher, joyce Meadows, looks on. Beyond the basic and fine arts courses at Greenwood, students are offered practical help and vocational training. Courses in business, home economics, and industrial arts are design- ed to prepare the student to face the practical problems of everyday life. Almost everything today is concerned with business, from the purchase of a stick of gum to the management of a large business concern. How to handle personal finances efficiently and get along in this world of business is a problem everyone faces. Perhaps no other courses help solve this problem more directly than business courses. In classes such as bookkeeping, typing, business law, business economics, and short- hand, the personal needs of the student are stressed as well as possible vocational needs. Home economics makes a definite contribution to society by aiding students in recognizing and solving personal and home problems. Because the home has the first and longest influence on the individual, preparation for home living is extremely important. Home economics encourages development of home-making skills and provides an opportunity to practice them. The industrial arts provide an opportunity for students to develop a creative and useful hobby which can be put to immediate use in the home. In addition, a knowledge of tools and drawing may prove a valuable asset in a future vocation. 1151 LEARNING THE USES of the various machines in the shop is required of students of industrial arts.

Selling annuals and handling fin- ances Ais a real business undertaking. Coordinating the duties of a staff affords an opportunity to develop executive abil- ity. However, learning to work together and to plan and think independently is perhaps the biggest benefit of all. The 1955 staff has endeavored to pro- duce an improved yearbook by introduc- ing a new cover, a new printing process, and a more complete picture coverage of everyday life at Greenwood.

Sandy Sutton and Astor West, debating affirmative, and Peter Minick and Nancy Thompson on the negative side, formed Greenwood's first debate squad since the l02O's. The national high school topic for this year was Resolved: that the Federal Govern- ment of the United States should adopt a policy of free trade. Following two weeks of intensive training, the team entered the Central High School Tournament and earned the first-place trophy in Class B Division. At the Ne osho Debate Tournament, Green- wood Was the sole foursome to emerge from the preliminary rounds undefeated. The teams debated each other in a high school assembly to demonstrate debate procedure. The negative won by a split decision. They then entered the Drury Tournament where they won five out of six rounds. A second team was formed in time for entry in the Drury Toumament. Dick Retallick and Martha Freeman argued the negative while Frank jacks and Judy Irwin took the affirmative. The debaters entered the District For- ensic Meet at SMS in the spring with hopes of qualifying for the state contest.

President Ann Morrison arranged for varied programs including a demonstration of make-up technique, play reviews, and impromptu charades. 'Those Were the Days', a one-act comedy, was present- ed for the PTA at the Founder's Day Tea. The play cen- ters around a teen-age boy, Tommy jones, whose plans for his first date are thwarted by his father's old-fashioned ideas. The true facts come to light, however, when the mother of Tommy's date, Mrs. Grebs. comes to the jones's to 'meet the family'. She recognizes Mr. jones as her high school flame, and promptly reveals his party-loving past. The young couple are sent hurriedly on their way, leaving a red-faced Mr. jones to regain his composure. CAST: Tommy jones - john Young, Gracie, his date - Ann Morrison, Mr. jones - Hugh Harris, Mrs. jones- Susan Siceluff, Mrs. Grebs - Beverly Hanshau, and Stella, the maid -Elaine Rice. The last scene of 'The Glass Menagerie'. by Tennessee Williams, was staged for the statewide speech festival by members of the Speech Class. Laura, a shy, crippled young girl is besieged by the aspirations and well-meant scheming of her mother, Amanda, whose incessant prodd- ing induces Laura's brother, Tom, to bring home a 'gentle- man ca1ler'. jim, the caller, is impressed by Laura, but is forced to tell her that he is already engaged. Laura's hopes are destroyed, and the stunned Amanda turns her wrath upon Tom. This family crisis sends Tom fleeing from home, but in his final monologue he reveals that the memory of Laura still haunts him regardless of how far he goes. CAST: jim - Hugh Harris, Amanda - Nancy Thomp- son, Tom - Pele Minzck, and Laura -jane Canedy.

Greenwood followers had something to Cheer about as the Bluejays marched through a successful sea- son with six victories to one loss. Thirteen returning lettermen provided a nucleus for the team which earneda championship rating. After three weeks of hot, hard practice, thejays opened the season with a 21-12 win over Lockwood. In the next game, Bolivar took advantage of a Greenwood let- down and pushed over the winning touchdown with ninety seconds remaining to take a 12-7 decision over the Jays. The Bluejays bounced back the following week and beat Stockton 12-7 in a hard-fought contest. Greenwood pro- ceeded to defeat Walnut Grove 20-6 and clobber Marion- ville 62-0 in the next two outings. A determined Sarcoxie squad gave Greenwood a real tussle before bowing 53-20. The Bluejays smashed to a 40-O homecoming triumph over Cabool in the final battle of the year. The Cabool game was the last game for eleven seniors. The twenty-one Bluejay letter winners were: Seniors - Kenny Craig CED, jack Robinette CED, john Young CHBD, Phil jones CGD, jim Napper CHBD, Newt Wakeman CTD, Sandy Sutton CFBD, Morris jess CQBD, Hugh Harris CGD, and Bob Ashurst CED, juniors - Don Anderson CCD, Teddy jordan CGD, Clyde Medley CGD, Elliott Diffenderffer CHBD, Larry French CTD, Herbert Collins CHBD, jim McGuire CTD, Roy Testerman CTD, jim McKnight CQBD, and Kenny Wills CHBD, and Sophomore - joe Rich CCD. rf, ...ci M - ' W . ,C Y I ,Tr 'S ri, W9 K' 5-so-7 ' ' S' ' , , V I' bg D , . .Ma 1 , 6 ix to Une Record P' 1 Im AN BN,- ISSUING UNIFORMS to Roy Testerman and Elliott BREAKING DOWN FIELD is Morris jess C351 as Ted- Diffenderffer before theopening game isCoach Collins. dy Jordan C202 and Sandy Sutton C341 run interference JW N N 4 QYJW00 I ' K. gp-Woo 1 i !

Mercedes topped all previous scholastic records at Greenwood with a 10.84 average. These students not only represent high scholarship but also possess out standing qualities of leadership. They have much in common - both are scholars, are European travelers, have served as class presidents, are editors of publications, and have personality plus Prom Closes Curtain on ocial Events MARDI GRAS becomes a reality as these juniors carry out the theme of the Prom in decorations. Members of the Decorating Committee arejim McGuire, Allen Kuhn, Nancy Smith, Susie Haswell, and Nancy Thompson. On their busy commencement calendar, seniors took special care to reserve the date of May 19. That night the Class of 1955, faculty, and guests were honored at the traditional junior-Senior Prom held at Riverside. 'Mardi Gras, the gay theme chosen by the juniors, was revealed by decorations such as miniature parade floats, balloons, and confetti. Decorated eye masks were presented to each guest. The fried chicken dinner, dancing, and gaiety of the occasion made this Prom one of the most memorable events under the Greenwood tree in 1955. Students Honored on Honor Da Life ,Neath the Boughs OFFICE DUTY, a job at which every student takes his tum, entails answering the officephone, running errands, and recording absences.
