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

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

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
