IN RETROSPECT Let ' s draw back the curtains that cover the past. And take a wee peep in the crystal of years. Let ' s look for a view of the mold that has cast The high school that each of us deeply reveres. The first one we see was on Rogers street Just back of what ' s now Junior High, In tlie year of eighteen ninety-nine complete. ' Twas crowded too much just by nineteen and five; So work on a new one had soon to begin ; Columbia High School was put under way. This building was finished in nineteen and ten, But the pupils attended in sliifts half a day. The Board issued bonds for the school of today. And, in twenty-five, they selected the site: ,Tust north of the town (it was growing that way) Thus making the promise of progress more bright. The school of tomorrow? Well, who can just tell? The crystal grows dimmer, the last thing we spy Is lovelv linerva who now casts her spell — The Goddess of Wisdom now leads Hickman High. — E. W. ' .31 LEADERSHIP Faculty Leadership It is true that a school is recog- nized through the medium of its faculty. We believe that we are not unduly prejudiced when we maintain that our faculty excels. The era of strict disciplinary rule is indeed past. One finds now a spirit best characterized by friendliness and understanding on the part of the teacher, together with an effort to instill true principles of citizenship. Page is EXECUTIVES MISS SAIDEE STEAN Principul The reason for our summonb, to the ortice is usually clear to us. If, however, we are com- pletely in doubt, there is no immediate enlighten- ment, for our Principal is in no particular hurry to dispense with the subject at hand. Her ap- proach to our trouble is calm, and usually con- tains a mixture of fun and seriousness that is admirable, though we may fail to appreciate it at the time. As we turn from the oHice into the quietude of the long, cool corridor, our minds are flooded with remembrances of one who, during the past three years ' quest of knowledge has come to know and understand us as few ever have; who, through a period of important development has set for us high ethical standards that will, in the future, call us back in appreciation to our friend and counsellor. Miss Stean. MR. W. I. OLIVER Supl. of Schools Imagine, if you will, the Hickman High School of the Future with a flower bordered drive circling in from the highway, with many tennis courts, and with a football field enclosed by a large race track. Perhaps students are crowding the bleachers, while banners wave in the breezes, and the echoes ring with the tune of Hickman ' ill Shine Tonight. This fascinating possibility is the dream of our Superintendent, Mr. Oliver, and he has the habit of making his dreams come true. It is with pleasure that we express our appreciation of his constructive leadership, and pledge our support in these undertakings, which mean a greater Hickmap High Scjjool. ' U df ' 1931 CRESSET Page 20 - r: ' y% ASSISTANT EXECUTIVES MR. E. A. McKAY Assislunt Prhuipal The student of Economics, American (Jovern- ment, or Sociology would be disappointed if Mr. McKay did not come hurr ing, a bit late, into his room one door east of the office. He plunges into the discussion and is soon oblivious to everything except the question in hand. If, how- ever, some negligent student, having let his mind stray for the moment is caught napping, a long list of special reports for the next day ' s work will follow. Mr. McKay will long be remembered for his ability to add some bit of actual experience or some spice of humor to a situation thus made more enjoyable. MISS EMMA CRAWFORD Secy to Principal Although Miss Crawford is apparently tlie one who catches up vith us when we skip and is eternally wanting to know our where- abouts, she is none the less a true friend. When we are absent it is she who calls up to find out why. You can imagine, of course, our humili- ation if we should unfortunately answer the telephone. ' hen called to the office we walk down the hall with our hearts full of fear, only to be met by the rea ssuring smile of the person who is tvervonels friend. _ MISS ACEXA BOOTH Sec ' y lo Superintciuient This is the smiling personage who keeps strict watch over affairs in Mr. Oliver ' s office. To describe her exactly would be difficult. Xo one entirely understands her; perhaps that is what makes us regard her so highly. Her outstand- ing characteristics are her smile and her ef- ficiency. We are especially grateful to Miss Booth because through her careful planning of menus, we each day enjoy delicious and nour- ishing food.

Never was there such a room full of words — the songs of bards, — the essays and sonnets and lyric poems of the world. Mrs. McHarg leads us into the land of storytelling, and arouses our imagina- tion ' s best efforts in such a way as to make us understand and enjoy this difficult literature and appreciate and love the one who guides our efforts. MISS TRUE GAINES Englis i II. Ill Now, Cresseteers, let ' s get out our television sets and tune in on station T-R-U-E — G-A-I-N-E-S, that brand ' new English Broad- caster who joined up with the Hickman Network only this year. Yes, you guessed it. She ' s that new English teacher who has created such a stir of enthusiasm for literature, gerunds, and punc- tuation among the Hickman inmates. Her students will tell you that English is an enjoyable subject this year. Let ' s all wish Miss Gaines a long and successful engagement with the Hickman Network! iVIISS ROBERTA HOWELL English II, III Remembrances of those gentle commands to prepare write-ups monthly for the Purple and Gold: the general knowledge from Long ' s Amer- ican Literature, and perhaps a faint recollection of rhetoric from the handbook; these, and a vivid picture of the personality in Room 211 are the reasons why English under Miss Howell is an enjoyable and worthwhile subject. Her ability to make any occasion a success, and her manner of making everyone a friend, are the things for which students remember Miss Howell. 1 19 3 1 CRESSET Page 22 MATHEMATICS MISS NELLE KITCHEN ' S Bookkeeping What! Vou have never used an adding ma- chine, nor written checks ? Then you have never been in Miss Kitchens ' Bookkeeping class. When one enters Room 205 he confronts a scene decidedly business like. It is presided over by an efficient looking woman whose every action reveals the fact that she knows exactly what she is doing and why. Besides bookkeeping. Miss Kitchens teaches two mathematics classes. Both in her teaching, and in her duties as Senior sponsor, she dis- plays always the same good natured willing- ness to help the students. MR. W. H. JUSTICE Geometry .Are you acquainted with Dr. Isosceles Trape- zoid Quadrilateral? If not, step right over and Mr. Justice will introduce you. Mr. Justice is that dark, romantic-looking Geometry teach- er who is new at our school this year, (You ' ve probably seen him stalking through the halls with his little brown bag.) His illustrative method of instruction makes CJeometry actually interesting, and his patient explanations force even the dumbest of us to absorb some knowl- edge. MISS VIRGINIA HATCHER Geometry Although Miss Hatcher is really a mathemat- i cs teacher, a Senior of her Biology class will re- call decidedh diflrerent associations. Photos n- thesis, transpiration, rhizomes, and a dozen other awesome looking words greet him when he en- ters, but he needn ' t be the least bit afraid of them, for .Miss Hatcher ' s personality, which blends into action, understanding, humor, and pleasantness, as well as her skilful method of teaching, has made Biology a pleasant and not too difficult course. 1931 CRESSET Page 23 III SOCIAL SCIENCE AND LIBRARY MRS. HELEN D. WILLIAMS Am. History We all remember tlie note books, tbe projects, the irreducible date list, tbe reseating quizzes which are largely responsible for the energy dis- played in studying before quizzes and certainly that fatal little stack of cards which holds the records. None of us will ever forget Mrs. Williams on a return visit to the school for we shall always carry with us remembrances of pleasant experiences associated with an even more pleas- ant personality. MISS HAZEL WALLINGFORD HOFFMAN European History Down on the first floor — three doors from the office — is a room full of ancient facts and mem- ories. History! The stories of the ages. Miss Hoffman, who gives these stories to us, has that marvelous gift of words which endows long dead personages with new life ; which repop- ulates buried cities, and makes ancient scenes live again for us; and which turns back pages of times and reveals a panorama of people and deeds. MRS. ELIZA HENDERSON GIBBANY Library Mrs. Gibbany presides over the library with dignity, distributing discipline where discipline is due. Much as we dislike being called down for talking, we yet appreciate the fact that the library is kept so well that we can depend upon a chance to read or study without distractions. We can depend, also, on Mrs. Ciibbany ' s kind- ly help when we are hunting for a book or reference. Her efficient management and kindly personality make the library the heart of the school. 1931 CRESSET h - Page 24 FOREIGN LANGUAGE AND COMMERCIAL SUBJECTS MISS HERTHA EITZEN Lntin All Gaul is divided into three parts, and so is tlie Latin course as taught by Miss Eitzen. First there is Caesar, the warrior and ruler; then Cicero, tlie famous orator; and tinall ' , in our Senior year, the poet Vergil. One seldom sleeps in Latin class, not because the most pa- tient teacher in Hickman High objects, but be- cause Miss Eitzen ' s varied methods of recita- tion resurrect a dead language, and give us an insight into a ci ' ilization of long ago. MISS MARY J. BARNETT French Qu ' est-ce que c ' est que nous avons aujourd- ' hui? That is usually the opening phrase in room 212 and is frequently followed by maine- nant several times. Miss Barnett has an inimi- table wav of comparing French to Cireek, Latin. Cierman, or English so that her classes may bet- ter understand the origin of the particularly difficult words or phrases. Her students are sure to recall the timely and amusing jokes with which she spices lier recitations. MISS CHH)E JORDAN Cammernal Subjects Quiet, girls! Remember there are forty-two of us here. In response to Miss Jordan ' s pleas- ant voice and smile the bedlam instantly be- comes a golden silence. Ninety words a minute for three minutes means business for us now, and serious busi- ness, too! First a preliminary. Everyone readv? So it begins. Before long it is over, for Miss Jordan, though efficient, is so friendly that the time passes quickly. Our transcripts are dictated for the following day; the bell rings, and we drag our chairs back to Miss Howell ' s room. 1931 CRESSET Page 25 HOME ECONOMICS AND SCIENCE MRS. ELSIE PARK DUNCAN Home Einiinmiis In the restful atmosphere of the candle lit room, teachers and students linger ahout a table set for tea. The living-dining room planned and furnished by the Home Economics girls has become an actuality. Or perhaps in the large kitchen-laboratory and sewing room bright with drapes we find busy groups. They are work- ing with Mrs. Duncan in these pleasant sur- roundings laying the foundations of future homes. MR. WILLIAM H. LeFEVER Physics Would you like to learn. to boil water with tile heat of your own hand? Or have you w ondered why the bare floor on a winter morn- ing is colder to your feet than the rug? Your curiosity, Juniors, will be satisfied if you en- roll in Physics next year. Mr. LeFe ' e will help you discover things you have known al- ways, and yet haven ' t known at all. And the best part of the course will be his genial good humor and his apt and amusing illustrations. MRS. HARRIET WRIGHT SMITH Biology Life cells and epithelial tissues, chlorophyll and stems, mean Physiology and Biology and Mrs. Smith to us. Room 204 is always the scene of mysterious experiments which show us the unknown world of science in a new and in- teresting light. The secret pride and joy of every one of Mrs. Smith ' s students is the thick, informing notebook which he makes during the year. Notwithstanding the general mussiness of the laboratory hour, and the time required for mak- ing the notebook, we leave Mrs. Smith ' s course with the elated feeling of having discovered a new and different world. 1931 CRESSET Page 25 ART AND MUSIC MISS ALICE WILHITE Art In all Hickman High there is only one per- son viho can really show us how to squeeze paint tubes in the correct way, — who knows how to draw a straight line and make it look artis- tic; and she it is who tells us the way to make our Cresset the most artistic of yearbooks. Because of these things, and because she can do so well herself what she asks us to do. Miss Wilhite has won a high place in the hearts of her students. MR. LYNN HUMMEL Music Everybody knows Mr. Hummel! Music is his profession, pigeons are his hobby, and his Ford is his outstanding attraction. He is ex- tremely versatile, for besides being an accom- plished director and pianist, he teaches Histor -, speaks German, and toots the Oboe. Under his efficient leadership, the Hickman A Capella Chorus is growing famous, not only in Colum- bia, but in surrounding communities. By mak- ing concert tours, and entering contests, Mr. Hummel and his chorus are winning honors for the school. MR. N. D. MOTSINGER Orchestra Mr. Motsinger is the leader of our orchestra, and how he can wield the baton! Under hia tutelage we learn to appreciate and to play the finest compositions. Although a true mu- sician, he is not temperamental, and does not tear his hair and throw things when we make mistakes. Besides the regular school orchestra, Mr. Motsinger directs a Stringed Ensemble which often entertains at local functions, and a newly organized Band wliose peppy music shall speed future teams to victory. 1931 CRESSET Page 27 PHYSICAL EDUCA- TION AND MANUAL TRAINING MISS ANNA SUE KENNEDY Girls Ath. Coach Shall we ever forget marching around the gym (half the time imitating monkeys or some other quadrupeds) those long hot days play- ing baseball and soccer, — the rush to get a shower in time to dress for the next class? We certainly won ' t forget the admirable way Miss Kennedy has of getting right into a game, as excited and anxious to win as any of us. We hope she ' s enjoyed her first year, because we want her back next fall. MR. GLENN C. SMITH Boys Ath. Coach Since Mr. Smith has been with H. H. S. the fortunes of Kewpie athletes have shown a marked improvement, and the Kewpies have be- come leading contenders in all the major sports. In football they have been conference champions for the past two years. Mr. Smith ' s friendly method of instruction together with his skill as a coach have combined to make him one of the best loved figures of the school. MR. Z. M. STRONG Manual Training Those mysterious looking machines, — the Oliver saw bench, the Deville spraying outfit, the six-inch jointer, and the Clark Sanding ma- chine, — may seem of little importance to the av- erage student, but to the manual training boys they mean superior opportunities to turn out fin- ished work. Mr. Strong means much, not only to those in his classes, but to the whole school. As adviser for athletes, as first aid expert, and as an artist in planning and constructing stage sets, Mr. Strong has proven himself indispen- sable to Hickman High School. 1931 CRESSET Page 28 Student Leadership Supplementing and tempering the arbitrary rule of yesterday, one finds today groups of student leaders participating to a certain extent in the government of tlie scliool. Tliese groups in Hick- man Hisrli School are the Student Council and tlie Honor Societies. By their active cooperation, and by their efforts to create the right atmosphere, they aid the faculty in realizing high ideals for our school. Page 29 John Woods, Student President STUDENT COUNCIL Student opinion was given a voice and some influence in the conduct of school affairs when the Student Council was organized in 1919. It is a representative body, its members being elected from each of the sixteen home rooms. Its officers consist of the president, who is also student president, and elected by the student body at large ; its secretary, who is elected bv the council : and Miss Stean, the faculty- sponsor. Tlie Student Council meets each M ' ednesdav afternoon to discuss problems arising in the course of current school activities. The mem- bers report their decisions and recommenda- tions to the students as a whole through tlieir own respective home rooms. The Student Co ni- cil makes an effort to cooperate with other organizations for the improvement of the school ; it backs the athletic contests and does all in its power to contribute to the success of musical and dramatic presentations. Besides assisting the office by enlisting student cooperation in solving current difficulties, and endeavoring to promote the welfare of the school by supporting the undertakings of every department, the Student Council has under- taken and carried out several projects for the good of the school as a whole. It presents a medal to an outstanding Junior and Sophomore each Spring, in the hope of encouraging scholar- ship and citizenship among individual students. I;- selects the six students whose names are presented to the committee which then selects those who are to receive the Kiwanis award. And it stimulates good citizenship and coopera- tion in the home room groups by presenting annual home room awards. It publishes early in the year the system of points according to which the home rooms are rated, and it raises bv various means the funds necessary to pur- chase the much coveted prizes. It is indeed an honor to be elected to Student Council, for it means that one ' s fellow students have chosen him to represent their interests in the government of Hickman High School. 19 3 1 CRESSET Page 30 Bernice Berry, Secretaii of Sfudent Council Elizabeth Weakley James Shearer Ruth Clifford J.

QUILL AND SCROLL Quill and Scroll was organized in Hickman High School in 1 9 ' 29 with ten members from the Junior and Senior Classes. New members have been elected each year until there are at present thirty active and alumni members. Tlie local chapter was this year named the Williams-Stephens Chapter in honor of Presi- dent Walter Williams and E. W. Stephens. President Williams is the founder of the World ' s first School of Journalism, and Mr. Stephens, editor and publisher, is Columbia ' s oldest native born son. Quill and Scroll as an honorary society has limited its social activities to the initiation service which was held this year at a banquet in the Colonial Room of the Tiger Hotel. The formal and tlie mock initiation were conducted by alumni members. Two active members of the Williams-Stephens Cliapter have feature stories entered in this year ' s national contest. Quill and Scroll has this year become an in- ternational society for high school journalists. Twelve thousand students have been elected to membership and wear the badge of the society. There are now 585 chapters in an area extend- ing from England to China. This year Quill and Scroll has launched vipon a new venture. The society will publish or arrange to have published the best novel which accurately por- trays the life of high school students today. i. Top Roii-: Ellis, Kyd.

This name was chosen because of the admirable traits of character, tlie wide achievements, the honest patriotism, and the broad-minded spirit of the great American — Benjamin P ' ranklin. Mem- bership in this club is limited to those students who have made an average of S or above in American History. The purpose of the club is to give those who are intensely interested in American History an opportunity to study some of its phases which lack of time maj ' prevent being studied in the class-room. The sponsor. Mrs. Williams, believes, too, that it will give an opportunity of kindling a true patriotic spirit in a broad and understanding sense in the lives of a very able group of Americans. It is the aim of the present group to spread their ideals by establishing this organization in schools throughout the country. It is believed that the Franklin society will appeal to the students of American History not only in the things it stands for, but also in its mode of ex- pressing these ideals. They are presented in the initiation service in a ritualistic way, in the Preamble of its constitution in a definite way, and in the badge in a symbolic way. The large membership of the first year and the cooperation of interested Columbia citizens is indeed encouraging for the future success of the organization. Top Rote: Miller, ' aher, Roberts.

McLean KOER.NER Windsor THE TORCH Torcli is known as the National Honor Society, and it is an honor indeed to be elected a member. Each year, twice during the school term Miss Stean announces from the assembly platform the names of the honored few. One feels that there has been a big mistake as he starts on the seemingly endless journey from a Senior ' s heaven to the stage ; and he feels at once proud and embarrassed as he takes his ]jlace in the line facing the whole student body. And that queer feeling waiting for initiation night. Have you ever felt as though you would simply die if a certain thing did happen, and yet as if you ' d die if it didn ' t? Then you know how to sympathize with the newly elected torch member. When the night finally arrives, however, it i.i comforting to find everyone so congenial that the initiate loses his fears. The ceremony it- self isn ' t as embarrassing as he expected and he usually joins in with the others and laughs as heartily as the rest. Of course, there are trying ordeals to go through before the pin really be- longs to the initiate, but he is much relieved to find them no worse than they are. Then too. there is a very inspiring service in which the president or perhaps the sponsor explains the aims and ideals of the association. Final- 1931 CRESSET Page 34 ly tlie oath is taken and the initiate receives his Torch pin, ever to hold it as one of his most treasured possessions.

That vision of the unreal now becomes very much an actuality, — a reward that comes into the life of everj- patient student. The pleasure indeed, is brief, but while it lasts it is to be compared with neither fame nor riches. Page c9 SENIOR CLASS M K Seniors! You cnn ' t im.isa ' ine wliat a grand and |- K iBSkV glorious feeling it is ! That is until we begin to realize that we won ' t be back next year ; then the ■ t9M glamour wears off a little. The flight of the Senior Class from Junior High. across the vast expanses of High School life, and to a landing on the plain of life itself may be com- pared to the take-oft ' , flight, and the landing of an aeroplane. The take-oft ' from Junior High was a little rough, but it wasn ' t long ' till the plane began to settle itself to steady flight. During the first lap _ i B (our Sophomore year) we were not ver_v certain of the controls, and the flying seemed a little difficult. The next lap proved to be not only more interest- M. RiDCEwAY iug. but easier, as we had become more used to the rl ne, and were having less difficulty with the maneuvering of it; thus we had more time to look around a bit, and we found our surroundings not at all unpleasant. Then, on the last lap, the time has seemed to fly. Tlure has been much more leisure to look around and since we now have be- come experienced pilots, much more time for fanc} ' flying — parties, dances, — just all sorts of outside things to be interested in. It is true that we have encountered storms all along the way, but as we learned our plane better, they seemed less and less forbidding. Now that we have almost reached the end of the last lap, we are beginning to look back, and at times to wish that we had the whole trip to maki; over again. Commencement night we land, and we hope to have the satisfaction of feeling tliat cur flight h ' !S been creditable and of enjoying a safe and happy landing. President ! r. Ri. N Ridge w.

Wiien he bids farewell to tiiosc of the Senior Class, there will descend upon his shoulders the mantle of their responsibility for the spirit and ideals of David Hickman Hig;h School. SJ Page 57 JUNIOR GLASS The H. S. Hickman set sail under cloudless skies for her annual knowledge cruise on Septem- ber 8, 1930. She weighed anchor, then began to f yjf I move slowly but majestically across the ocean of. school adventures. The cruise was to last for nine months with occasional stops. After several days on deck we looked over the I m passenger list — five hundred and fifty-one ad- I ™ m l venturers. Among our group, as second class pas- sengers there were one hundred and sixty-seven. __. _ V; B , Already we were beginning to look for the time ■ K _ H next year when we would be able to realize our aspirations to travel as first class passengers — first class, including the upper deck chairs. E. ScHAPER At times the ship rolled and pitched but the crew steered it with unusual ability and for the most part, the sailing was smooth. During the long days at sea, we had time to get acquainted. After the first few weeks the second class passengers were organized. We chose as our first mate. Miss tToffman, who helped us to recover from the periods of sea-sickness that have reigned every nine weeks. As our second mate, we chose Ernest Schaper. He has been a loyal sailor and was editor of the ship ' s log. The ship, being modern, has a well equipped gj ' mnasium. Here in the com- petitive games, many of our sailors brought glory to our class. Then, of course, there have been a lot of the second class passengers who have taken part in the ship ' s orchestra. In May the bells of a joyous voyage will cease ringing and once more the H. S. Hickman will re-enter the harbor with its banner of Purple and Gold waving triumphantly in the breeze, and the Juniors will have become full-fledged Seniors.

Iris is surely jealous n{ Hal and Frances even though she doesn ' t show it, but iust wait till she gpts him by himself— he will look like a back fence that has just been the scene of a cat fight. The whole page of pict ' ires. as well as the excuse, show a good many things about our school life (off and on) and gire an idea of just who our most prominent people are and what they like to do best. Our alunmi are still our high lights and sre more than welcomed by our fairer sex, I believe that they go vcy well with the girls piled on the car. Dudley seems to be against these visits and the only one h? wel- comes is Red , because he is already spoken for. This is a very unnatural picture of Hazel and Dora, they ould seem more at home with the backward boys. Coxie seems to be er mterested in the fii st issue ot the Purple and Gold. Page 72 -KJT ' fvaat:™ , - ' (SCMH Page 73 Page 74 HICKMAN HIGH l SCHOOL PLAY WINS FAVOR Barbara Patterson and Eddie Young Have ! Leading Roles TOMMY ' ou know how it is— the name Tummy. It ' s always on my mind, so now I ' ve a chance to u rite it to my heart ' s content. I believe it was our big day. Everybody had a swell time be- cause not a class was attended in full and everything went hay wire. Dud and Ruth must be in love or they couldn ' t have done so well with the play. Eva Frances and S. C. Herrin made the lay a hit even if they weren ' t s i prominent. Blanche and her Betty Co- Ed weren ' t so bad but thei r leader hasn ' t any memory and will probably get sued for breach of promise because of leaving out one advertiser. Ruth says it is just like Dunbar to come in on a romantic love scene, so this part suited him well, and we thought the I. G. A. chorus pretty clever. Last, but not least, was the debate and the Tommy cast. Barbara and the two Eddies w ere quite at home so everything tvent off with a bang. Page 75 LOCOMOTION Berry believes in not tiring his feet so he will always be seen riding instead of walking. We don ' t know whose car Emmett is standing by, but perhaps it belongs to him. Who knows? Miss Howell doesn ' t own this one either; it is a yellow cab in which she rides to school every morning. We think (but haven ' t asked his creditors yet) Mr. Hummel owns his, but even at that it is nothing to l)rag about. Ross tries to make everybody think he has a car, but in reality it is just a 1925 Buick, and drives it this boy cranking his car? It might be a Cheve but maybe it ' s a baby Lincoln. We wonder about this pose of Helen. We might censor it. but we ' re afraid someone might object. Page 76 THE USUAL THING Mrs. Williams and Mrs. McHarg are good mothers as uell as good school teachers; rtally they have the cutest children! This .s a p c ure of our new sidewalk that we usually use every day, and helieve nie it ' s just what we ' ve been needing — our lives weren ' t safe until it came along. This is a picture of Sally just returned from Monticello. She has her books and everything, so we guess that she ' s come back to absorb some knowledge. This Junior bunch really strut their stuff in these assemblies. The Seniors may not be so good but Frances can put on the fainting act when Blanche is there to catch her. and especially about the time exams start. ' irginia, being one of our best saleswomen, is always appointed to sell tickets to Dick and Butler. Even if she is good she can ' t always sell to these two be- cause of the hard times! What I Haven ' t you seen the eighth jieriod gym class crawling out the win- dows onto Miss Stean ' s car and on to the ground, the next stop being town, or the Tavern or maybe Jimmies ? «ss«ysrtki.v - Page 77 ?? P The truth about all this is that it isn ' t Christmas: that the snow isn ' t as deep as Toht would like tO ' make us believe it is. This is quite a natural picture of Hazel and Max because they are always- fighting about one thing or anothev. This Christmas tree belongs to Mrs. Gibtjany and we (the larger part of the staff are in her home- room and that is why it is most beautiful. All the pretty girls are backed up against the school door, so these boys can ' t snowball them. There is a law against it, yoit know. You can ' t tell whether it is eggs or snowballs the boys are throwing, but Miss Booth could teU you. What about this picture of Sarah? The best snow of the year and the beet figurtr of the school !

It is true that they are Stars, but oh, what Stars I Who would ever call Eddie Young a Star? There isn ' t anything par- ticularly Heavenly about him, and as for J. Louis Crum, he ' s a nice country lad but no one could ever call him a. Star. We hope Olendora and Mattarae and Cornealia are headed for Heaven, but we ' re afraid Helen, and Carolyn, and Billy Nowell are mixed up in their directions. And Edgar Scott is the man in the moon. Is it possible that he knows anything about green cheese ? We would refer you to Goggy Morris and may- be Thurston Kelly on this little matter. And to com- ] Iete it all, Rose Collier is the Planet. As for the rest, perhaps they are moving in the right direction; at any rate, we will let you have the benefit of the doubt.

Page so SELF - EXPRESSION Music and Dramatics The students of Hickman High School are justly proud of the de- partments which contribute to their aesthetic training. The ex- cellent orchestra adds beaut y to many occasions of the year ; the vocal department, especially the A Capella Chorus, has been called one of the best in the state. The popularit_v of the Thalian Guild is a tribute to the excellent train- ing in dramatics. The quality of work in music and dramatics helps place our school among the most efficient in Missouri. Page 93 GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB The Music Department under tlie direction of Mi. Lynn Hummel has become one of the best in the state. Tile Glee Club witli forty-seven members this yeiv is larger than it has ever been. It is composed of students who appreciate music and like to sing. There are also a Girls ' Quartette, and a Girls ' Sextette. The members of the Quartette are : First Soprano, Mary Xan Johnson. Second Soprano, Esther leyer; First Alto, Dorothy Hoffman; Second Alto, Margaret Wain- scott. Each year the State Contest comes as a climax to tlie year ' s work. The lixed Chorus was awarded first place, and the Girls ' Glee Club, won a third place in the contest held last year. A.

The work and accomplishments of this organization are little known among the student body. This year there were thirteen new members added to the orchestra. They play: one sous-iphone. two oboes, three saxophones, one cello, four violins, one clarinet, and one trombone. The orchestra has played in a number of communities outside of Columbia this year, and with the Glee Club gave a concert at Harg. On March 13, they cooperated with the orchestras of all the schools of Columbia in a concert given to secure funds for buying new instruments. Four members of our orchestra were chosen to represent Columbia in the Missouri All State High School Orchestra which was held in Convention Hall. Kansas City, under the direction of Harry O. Hickernell, director of music of Maryville Teachers ' College. Those who were selected are: Betty Johnson, bass: William Hammond, clarinet; John Strong, violin; and Catherine Cox. violoncello. However, only John Strong and Catherine Cox were able to attend. The president of the orchestra is John Strong. Mr. Motsinger, the director, is also one of our loyal Kewpie supporters, and after having witnessed the Kewpie victory over the Kirksville Tigers, was inspired to compose a march for ovir school.

And remember, we have come from Olympus to discover the truth of the rumor that the love of the drama glows in the hearts of these twentieth century voung people. Observe well. He draws his cloak about him, and peers over rows of seats to the stage beyond. The Muses group them- selves about him, preparing to be either critical or ap- preciative as occasion demands. Ah-h ! Apollo breathes as the last act of A Wo- man ' s a Woman comes to a close, That was really well done ! Yes, indeed, murmurs the Muse of Comedy. There are at least some left who know how to amuse an audience ! ' What ' s this? Cries the Muse of Dancing, softly. How graceful she is ' What rhythm! Tap, tap, tap! There is one who appreciates the art of dancing! The !Muse of Tragedy ' suddenly begins to display keen interest. Apollo, seeinn ' her, turns towards the stage, and in a moment, is lost in the pathos of Mrs. Pat and the Law. As the tragedy of Pat ' s gallant failure ends, the lights go out and the blinds are opened ; the figures of the heavenly visitors vanish with the spell of the program. But it is said that there was rejoicing in Olympus that night as Apollo inscribed on his roll of the devotees of true art the name of the Thalian Guild. E. Young, President.

But, really, it -wasn ' t. It ' s the name of the Cresset Benefit play, a three act comedy bj Lindsay and Robinson, given on December ; , 1930. Tin start ' is deeply indebted to Miss Hazel Hoffman for her excellent work in directing it. The east of characters were: Barbara Patterson, Eddie Young, Edward Payton, Frank Burr, Virgil Nichols, Ruth Clifford, Albert Trowbridq;e, Mary Mc Iullen, William Hume, and Eva Frances Craghead, understudy. The play was a huge success in every way, and was well appreciated, judging by the large crowd that attended. We shall never forget seme of the incidents of the play and the numerous funny remarks. Who could forget the moments of romantic suspense, or the periods of comedy that made our sides nearly split? All in all, it has been one of the most successful plays ever given by Hickman High, and we feel it won ' t be soon forgotten, either by the players or the audience. 1931 CRESSET Page 98 A HIGH SCHOOL ROMANCE To supplement the pl;iy Tommy. the Cresset Staff gave a one act advertiser ' s play written by a group of students and Mrs. Mc- Harg. It was a series of tableaux tracing the life of a student throughout the school year ; each tibleau featured a Columbia merchant who had taken a full page ad. Unusual though it may seem, the clever way in which these ad- vertisers were presented held the interest and enthusiasm of the entire audience. OUR ADVERTISERS Between the first and second acts of Tommy there was a chorus composed of high school girls with a peppy leader. Each girl in this chorus wore a placard bearing the name of a Columbia firm who has taken a half page in the Ciesset. We are indebted to Miss Ken- nedy and Miss Gaines for iiinking this chorus a success. OUR ADVERTISERS Left to Right: Milburn, Fenton, Shaw, McCallister.

Each club, with tlie help of its sponsor, formulates its ideas at the beginning of the school term, and files an account of them at the office. With the spendid coopera- tion of the student body the club work has gone forward rapidly. The girls of the Girl Reserve speak for themselves when they live up to the following code: As a Girl Reserve I will be: Gracious in manner, impartial in judg- ment, ready for service, loyal to friends, reaching towards the best, earnest in purpose, seeing the beautiful, eager for knowledge, reverent to God, victorious over self, ever dependable, and sincere at all times. The president is Blanche Kyle. Tlie purpose of the C Club is to encourage an ever higher type of athletics and sportsmanship in the school. The president is Worth DeBord. Latin club this year, with the help of their president. Rose Collier, has had a very successful 3 ' ear. At the meetings they conduct games, act out plays, hold debates, and read stories in Latin. L ' nder the leadership of their president, Edith Simon, the French Club is making a studj ' of France. They are achieving tliis aim through lectures given bv prominent visiters. William Hume, the president of the Science Club is leading the students not to believe wliat people say, but prove it for themselves. The members of the Commercial Clubs have classes in bookkeeping, typing, and shorthand. At each meeting tliey have contests, speeches, and plays. Their presi- dents are Jim Shearer and Ruth Windsor. The Hi-Y Club brings to the boys an understanding of themselves, of others, and of God. Freedom, interest, tolerance, faith, and health are some of the precious possessions that help the boys to live up to their code. The purpose of the club might be expressed as follows: God first, others second, and myself third. The Home Economics Club is learning to master the correct rules of homemak- ing under the leadership of their president. Mildred Turner. Lectures on etiquette, and exhibitions of good and bad manners, give each girl in the club a foundation upon which to build her future home. The Girls ' and Boys ' Athletic Clubs are organizations conducted for the pur- pose of encouraging recreation and the desire for better physical development. Theiv presidents are Bernice Berry, and Jim Murray. Tlie members of the Bird Club are endeavoring to learn the names of all the common birds in this community. The president is Jim Shearer. NOTE: The Editor believes a word of explanation should be offered as to the reason for the omission of the group jjictures for the Activity Clubs. In permitting this omission of pictures, the action was not due in any way to lack of a full appreciation as to the wortli-whileness of the organizations. You will agree that the importance of these Clubs was in no way aff ' ected by the failure of their pictures to appear in this publication. It is believed, liowever, that group pictures are stilted, uninteresting. off er practically no variety ' from year to year — and may be a factor in destroying the originality of a new staff of workers. If future staff ' s should deem it worth- while to include group pictures of these clubs in their publications, may we not be permitted likewise the privilege of omitting them ? 1931 CRESSET Page 100 Student Publications Timely praise and constructive criticism in the editorial section, combined with an uncanny genius for seizing upon the significant news from month to month, have made the Purple and Gold a stimulating factor in the improve- ments effected from time to time in our school. Published as it is at the end of the school term. The Cresset be- comes a record of all such im- provements, encouraging merit by a permanent form of publicity, and crystalizing in pictures the dearest experiences of the school year.

Whether the staff plaj-ed ar. iniportant part in this success is not known. The editor meant weU, but in time of need and trouble he always turned to a quiet and re- sourceful associate. Volumes could be written about the rest of the Purple and Gold Staif. — about their scoops and their unearthing of scandals which were made known to the world throua;h the Purple ■and Gold. There was, however, one who always was at the helm of the ship. She gathered, and sorted out the material turned in for the paper, and advised the printers.

Xow let ' s get down to business. Let me think ! I had something- to say to the literary editors, but it slipped my mind. Then our able sponsor. Mrs. McHarg, comes hurrying in and looks over the teacher ' s write- ups that we have been laboring on so long, and says, This write-up is too factual; please write an account of an actual happening in the class room. Students will remember it in years to come. Then a very business-like miss gets up and says, We ' ve got to sell everyone a Cresset this year. Talk Cresset in your home room : talk Cresset in your classes ; talk Cresset to anybody you might happen to see. Soon a vivacious young woman taps you on the shoulder and says, Let me take your pic- ture. Then a small gentleman hurries up with the admonition. Get together now. and look vour prettiest I (And all the time we ' ve been looking that way. though no one seems to realize it) Ah-h— that ' s it! Hold it! We go on in this fashion until every staff member has an assignment to work on until the next meeting. 1931 CRESSET Page io5 1 Page io6 SPORTS Football ( Football develops in the pl-iyers fearlessness, sportsmanship, and the ability to act in a crisis. It benefits the whole athletic ))ro- grani, in that it serves as the chief source of revenue. Better than all. perhaps, it focuses in the student bodv to a greater degree than any other sport that in- definable but powerful force — school spirit. Because this spirit is a self forgetting enthusiasa , a sort of sublimated cooperation, it reacts to benefit each individual of the student bodr. Page io9 DcBord off fur a touchdown! KEWPIES 7--SHELBIXA 6 The 1930 football season opened with nine letter men from last season, and thirty others to vie for Kewpie honors. To be frank, it looked as if everybod} ' and his brother was out for football. On October 3, Shelbina High for- mally opened the Kewpie schedule with a game on Cauthorn Field. Although trailing at the half, the Kewpies re- turned in the second period to overcome the six point handicap they had ac- quired early in the first quarter. A series of end runs by Allen and Woods and line plays with DeBord and Reed plowing through for consistent gains took the ball deep into the Shelbina ter- ritory where Allen went over for the lone Kewpie counter. A pass from Woods to Murrav was good for the extra point that decided the game, wliich ended with Kewpies leading 7-6. KEWPIES 6- FULTON 6 Led by Captain John Woods, the Kewpies ventured to Fulton, on Friday, October 11. It so happened that the final score was 6-6, but the score is no indication of the terrific battle botli teams put up throughout the game. Early in the opening quarter the Hornets scored with a pass from Hall to Glore. The try for extra point was Capt. Woods Haigh 1931 CRESSET Page no m Reed goes up for a pass! wide, thus giving Fulton a 6 jjoint lead. This was soon to be equaled, for smashing line plays took the ball to midfield wjiere DeBord got away for a spectacular .)() yard sprint and a touchdown. Haigh ' s try for extra point was blocked, and the score stood throughout the game 6-6. The closing few minutes found the ball in possession of the Kewpies with DeBord and Woods reeling off first downs on almost every play, but this last minute rally was cut short by the final whistle. KEWPIES 40 --MEXICO Playing their second conference game of the season the Kewpies turned back the Mexico Bulldogs with a score of 40-0.

Kewpies powerful offense was shown in the second period by scoring .) of their seven touchdowns at that time. It was in this game that Brown, English. Benedict, and Nevins, hopes of the 1931 Kewpies team, starred. KEWPIES 7--KIRKSVILLE The Kewpies played host to the Kirksville Tigers on the afternoon of Friday, October 31. Mose Allen carried away the honors by scoring a touch- down earlv in the second half, while 1931 CRESSET Page in Woods going (loirn after a good gain! Haigh ' s educated toe added another point to Allen ' s six. The Kewpies were just not there, however, when it came to the final punch ; and so they had to be satisfiel in the end with only a seven point victory. KEWPIES 13-- JEFFERSOX CITY As you remember, there is an annual fight between the Jefferson City .laj-s and the Kewpies. This year the Kew- pies plucked and scattered Jays ' feath- ers all over their home field. The Jaybirds, we will admit, were a little stubborn during the first half; but the Kewpie liabit of scoring a touchdown or two in the second half before the opposing team reallv knows what ' s p-oing on came in good stead, and the Kewpies were soon off for the first touchdown of the afternoon. Another short!} ' afterwards was cut short when Woods slipped and fell after receiving a punt. The final score was made when Reed, after two attempts went over for the second counter. Haigh ' s kick was side, but the extra point was added to the Kewpie total because the Jays were off side. There was a spectacular ' ecovery of Woods ' kick-off that Cmnksc les ' mounded out of a Jay ' s fingers. After Clarke this fortunate breik tlie backfield aces, 1931 CRESSET PAGE 112 |:|il The Champions have it uiif! DeBord, Woods, Allen, and Reed, dro e the Jay linemen back to the shadows of their own goal posts. Here English was substituted tor Allen, and he took the ball on the first play for a touchdown but the referee ruled that the game had ended before the play was executed. The final was 13-0. KEWPIES 6--M. M. A. 6 Ansther conference chanipionship wis won (or tied, rather) when the Kewpies broke even with ]M. M. A. in the title game on Nov. 14. The first quarter saw neither team score, although both showed by their pep and fight that they were out to win. We are ])roud of our team for win- ning the conference championshi]3 for two consecutive years, and we know that they are proud of those gold foot- balls that they again have won the right to wear. Keii.v KEWPIES i; LA PLATA The I. M. A. game was, of course, tlie climax of the Kewpie schedule; it was the Tion-conference game with LaPlata. however, that closed their season. Within three minutes after the opening wliistle, .John Woods was over for the first Kewpie touchdown. From then on the struggle was even until the third quarter, when DeBord raced 40 yards, shaking off several LaPlata tacklers, and went over for the second Kewpie counter. The final score of 1 -O closed the season with a record of no defeats. 1931 CRESSET Page 113 Top Row. Pulliam, Benedict, Schaper, Wayland, Nevins, Thompson. rirst Roil-: Nowell, Calvert, F.

Page 115 N. Murray G. HiSER It looked as though the Kewpies were going to have a drab season in basket- ball, with the return of only two letter men. Using them as nucleus for the 1931 basketball team, however. Coach Smith formed an aggregation that be- came one of the leading contenders for the championship, placing second in the Little Ten Conference. Out of six- teen games they lost only six. KEWPIES 6 KIRKSVILLE 26 In the opening game of the season the Kew|)ies played Kirksville, losing to them by a score of ' 26-6. The only alibi that we had is that our team lacked experience.

Neither team liad a large lead during the game, and a fast finish by the Kewpies cinched the game for them.

KEWPIES 13 JEFFERSON CITY lo Tlie Kewpies took the conference lead when they decisively defeated Jef- ferson City at their home court. Short- Iv after the second ])eriod opened the Kewpies pulled away from the Jays and took the lead which they success- fully maintained during the remainder of the game. 1931 CRESSET Page mt 5 KEWPIES 10 BOOXVILLE 19 Not being able to make tlieir shots count made the Kewpies lose their game at Boonville on January :23rd. Boonville piled up a score of 19-10. KEWPIES 25 MEXICO 16 On January ' 29th the Kewpies were victors over Mexico High, leading through- out the entire game. Thej ' returned at the half with only a one point lead, and during the remainder of the game piled up a score of ' 25-16, allowing the Mexico team only two points in the last half. KEWPIES 7 CAIJFORNIA 16 A defeat suffered at the hands of California damaged somewhat the hopes as contenders for conference honors. Unable to break through their opponents strong defense, the Kewpies dropped the game by a 16-7 score. KEWPIES 31 BOONVILLE 8 Stung by this defeat, the Kewpies took revenge on their next opponent, Boon- ville, on Friday, February 6th. The game ended with the Kewpies leading by a .31-8 score. KEWPIES 21. CALIFORNIA 16 Although California, in a previous game, had shown themselves superior, the Kewpies, on the following Tuesday, came from behind to defeat their opponent 21-16. Hiser took the honors of the evening with the unusual total of 16 points out of a final 2 1. 1931 CRESSET Page ii8 KEWPIES 32 NEW FRANKLIN 19 In tlie return game at New Franklin on February IStli a second victory was ac- credited the Kewpies over the New Franklin basketeers. Though unable to run up a score as large as their first, the Kewpies finished with a verv safe margin of victory. KEWPIES ].- JEFFERSON CITY Hi When the Kewpies lost the Jefferson City game they forfeited all chances of winning the conference title. Although they had the superior team, the Kew))ies failed to get the breaks. Until the final quarter the Jays held a lead, which the Kewpies were able to equal, but not overcome, and the final score stood 16-15. KEWPIES 27 M. M. A. SS Oveicoming a lead of four points at the half, the M. M. A. Cadets won their first game from the Kewpies. This was one of the most closely fought games of the schedule, and the first half indicated a Kewpie victory; however, in the last half the Kewpie team was unable to stop M. M. As. rapid gains. KEWPIES 17 FAYETTE 1 1 After this losing streak, the Kewpies finally got going and took their next game with Fayette by a three point margin.

KEWPIES 16 KIRKSVILLE 31 Going through the entire season without two defeats from any one team, the Kewpies met Kirksville here for tlieir second game of the season. Kirksville not only showed it could be done, but did in addition, show how it was done, bv ' making a total of 13 points to the Kewpies none in the opening period. Although, the Kewpies ' team ranked second in the conferences thev twice de- feated the champions. Fayette.

Although this editorial, in an earnest attempt to make clear the reason for lack of pep at a game, may take on rather lengthy proportions, the real renson may be discovered in the failure of the yell leaders to get the support of those attending the game. And this is usually true because the student is too much interested in his date, too concerned with the candy bar she is munching, or because the flow of peanuts; from three rows back, proves a little distracting. Although Dunbar graduates this year. Wynn still has two more years in which to lead Kew- pie supporters. These two have worked dili- gently, doing all in their power to instill the spirit of loyalty and school patriotism. For a change let ' s turn tlie tables and give our yell leaders a vote of appreciation; and fifteen rous- ing cheers for their efforts. 1931 CRESSET Page 122 li TRACK The track season was just opening when the Cresset went to press. There was only one letter man back, but the other eleven members of the team looked like ])romising material. This year ' s team are: Capt. Benedict, De- Bord, Woods, Clarke, Trowbridge, Sullens, Walter, Broyles, Xevins, Phillippe, Barnes, and McHarg. Oai April 3rd a triangular meet between Boonville, Fayette, and the Kewpies was held at Boonville, with the Kewpies placing third. The schedule of the remaining meets follows : Little Ten Conference Meet, April 18; F ' ulton-Boonville-Kewpie Meet, April 21 ; State Meet, May l-S; M. M. A., May 8. TENNIS Although the tennis team for the year has not been selected as yet, there are several ex- perienced men out, among whom are H. Jones (only letter man back), Clinkscales, Bass, Eng- lish, Watson, and Fellows. Games have been scheduled with M. M. A. for the latter part of April and with F ' ulton and Jefferson City for the beginning of May. 1931 CRESSET Page 123 19 3 1 CRESS F T Page 124 WRESTLING INTRODUCED IN D. H. H. S. Until this year Hickman Higli has never had an organized wrestling team. Early in March, however, after some thirty students had signified an interest, this new sport was deiinitely in- troduced, and was given a chance to make for itself a place with other Kewpie athletics. Under the instruction of Fowler Young, former Kewpie athlete and now a varsity wrestler at Missouri University, the Kewpie wrestlers started training for their first meet of the season with M. M. A. at Mexico. Though they had only one week of training, they came back victorious. The climax of the season came when on March 28, after entering a candidate in each of the eight divisions for wrestling, the Kew- pies found themselves the victors in a meet that ga e them the State High School M ' restling Championship, a conference meet conducted at Rothwell Gymnasium under the auspices of the University of Missouri. Those winning firsts were: Glenn, 115 lbs. class; Daugherty, 1 . ' 35 lbs. class; M. Allen, 145 lbs. class; Woods, 165 lbs. class; Clarke, heavy- weight. Those winning seconds were: Captain DeBord, 155 lbs. class; Estes, 105 lbs. class, while P. Allen took a third in his class. Out of the squad of thirty-two husky fellows the following ten were awarded letters : Paytou Allen. Estes, Givan. Glenn. D.iugherty, Nevins, Mose Allen, DeBord, Woods, Clarke. Cither men deserving honorable mention are, Fred Brown, Jim McCabe, Paul Pulliani, Sam Smarr. .Joe Parsons, and Billie Wayland. We believe that the Kewpies are becoming- very interested in wrestling and we hope that in the future many more champion teams will be turned out.

Only Eliza- beth Kempster taking a leap into the water so that she can win her swimming points on her State M . Swimming is not the only ac- complishment required, for there are sliort hikes consisting of one hundred miles. Of course the candidate could not walk that far in one afternoon, but in ten afternoons she can. This means that we may see a few of our athletes limping about school if the right type of shoes liave not been M ' orn. Tile candidate must make all of the class teams, which isn ' t hard if she works consistently. Not onh- are athletic achievements required, but a standard of scholarship must be maintained also. When we see a girl with good posture we know almost that she belongs to the State M Club, or she is trying to make it. for the require- ments in that line are very strict. The candidate will receive points for being a leader in her classes, and performing certai ' i services for the school. We do need to sell lots of tickets for the basketball and football teams, so here ' s your chance, girls. It is an honor in more ways than one to be an M girl. To attain the ideils of this society one must be physically, mentally, and morally strong. She must refrain from habits which tend to lessen Iier athletic power and moral standing. If one has passed all these examinations and has one thousand points she is eligible for election into the club. Just making the letter is not nearly all the fun. It really starts after one has received her letter, and has become an active member. Then about twice a month the girls become kindergarten youngsters again, ])laying hop scotch and jacks. They play all sorts of other games too — sometimes basketball, volley ball, etc. A girl no sooner has her M than she begins to work for her super M . For this she must have 1,100 points. About the same kinds of skill are required to gain these points except that there must be more of them, and a greater jiroficiency in each. An M girl has every right to feel highly honored upon the receipt of her letter, because it signifies that she is one of the small percent capable of meeting successfully the tests that come daily into the life of every student.

MISS LOTTA BUNK GIVES ADVICE TO LOVE LORN Dear Miss Bunk: The boy I love is growing cold and says I ' m just a frigidaire. If you were in my place, what would you do? Miss Dairy. Don ' t bother your cute head about me. Just keep him warm. Dear Lotta : I have been going with a boy now for about a year, and he is so sure of me he seldom comes out, because he knows nobodv will ask me for a date. I am rather fat. ' S. B. ' hy don ' t you try the famous Miss Catron ' s ways of living; she never seems to be without a date. Dear Miss Lotta Bunk: I ' m a very popular girl. I don ' t pet, neck, smoke, drink, or swear and am very attractive, but am a little tall. I seem to have trouble keeping steady boy friends. They will all date me now and then, but no one will date me steady. Could you help me remedy this situation? Miss Penny. If you weren ' t such a liar you would probably have a better chance. Dear Lotta Bunk: Does a girl have to smoke, drink, swear, and neck to be popular these days? If that is true how can I bring myself to do it? I don ' t enjoy it. Humor Editor. You had better go see a doctor and then get some of your best friends to show the teck-neck. It will afford you a lot of pleasure in your spare time, and will bring you to the other things mentioned. Dear Mis s Bunk: I am small, have light hair, blue eyes, and am a Junior in high school. My family dress me like an infant, and also treat me like one. Don ' t you think that they should consent to my smoking? Jack doesn ' t like it either. When I get in the University I ' ll show them. Edith. You are far too innocent for any such obscure pas- time, and you dress cleverly, and are too good for Jack. But I wish you lots of luck. THE ROYAL PUNK CLUB You have probably heard of our Torch Club. Well, the torch represents a light or blaze; so our Punk Club (a punk is what you lit your fire crackers with in extreme youth) corresponds to it in that this club is a smoldering fire. The Charter members of Our Punk Club are those people that are so dumb as to be on the Cresset Staff. Frances Vandiver leads the girls in telling all tiie high school boys she ' s in love. This made her eligible for President as well as for Herbert Jones ' affection. Other members elected are: Emmett Clinkscales for being so free with his money, in addition to his smokes to Dick and Hal. The teachers for trying to pound knowledge into the Seniors heads. The janitors for trying to keep the corridors ' floors clean. Ruth Chambliss for falling in love with Ross King.
