Rosenstengel is the genial and friendly gentleman under whose guiding genius the Columbia public school system progresses so well... As superintendent of schools, Dr. Rosenstengel sees to it that the educational policy adopted by the Board of Education runs smoothly, and this requires the constant appli- cation of elbow grease . . . Our only regret 1s that Dr. Rosenstengel, because of his many re- sponsibilities cannot come to see us more fre- quently. First Row — (seated) —C.

BOARD OF EDUCATION The task of solving the problems of a modern school system fall upon the shoulders of these eight men, who are responsible for the formulating of a progressive educational program in our city . . . And the decisions they make are done so in consideration of the welfare of every student under their juris- diction . . . We hope, in our humble way, to extend our appreciation to these splendid men for the service that they have rendered their community. Referees To you who will soon be Hickman Alumni: May I express the wish that you have learned skills, habits and attitudes which will help and strengthen you all the days of your life. Also I hope that you take with you a happy memory of your high school days. Sincerely, oe Principal Dr. DIXON Dr. Fred B. Dixon is to Hickman what Paul Christman was to Missouri foot- ball... It’s a difficult comparison, but you get the drift ... To us he is symbolic of friendliness, fairness, goodwill, and progress . . . He presents a humorous side and a serious side . . . For Dr. Dixon lias both . . . The football boys can tell you about his ability as an after dinner speaker, and none can deny his sincerity regarding the welfare of each and every student of Hickman... To him, each student is an individual problem and he seems to regard himself as a failure if that student doesn’t measure up to the standards of which he is capable . . . He’s the most normal man we know, and the most human. . . and if we ever have any problems that seem to irk us we just go to him, ‘cause we Coach know he’s our buddy. Mr. McKay Mr. E. A. McKay is one of the few coordinators in the state of Missouri . . . and furthermore, he seems to be one of the most informed sports authorities. . Many’s the time when he can be found busily engaged in one of Mr. Hatfield’s gym classes, tell- ing a group OF boys about his many athletic endeavors... and achievements. Mr. McKay’s per- sonnel classes have gone far to- wards placing many of Hick- man’s graduates in the vocation most suited to them, and the guidance he has given to count- less number of job hunters has proven invaluable to them in securing positions. Mr. McKay seems to be an institution here at Hickman, and whenever old erads refer back to their high school days, they think synon- omously of him and you lend a quick ear when they offer to relate some of the experiences they had with him back in the days when—weren’t those the days. 5 nd o- ASSISTANT COACHES Mrs. WILLIAMS Mrs. Williams is Hickman’s first lady . But she is more than a first lady... She seems to be a human dynamo, charged with boundless energy for which she constantly seeks an outlet . . . Al though assistant principal, there seems to be a quiet rumor of long standing that her first loves are her speech classes and her Verse Choir, which has gained a state-wide reputation . . . Each year she directs the Senior play, coaches the debate squad, is in charge of all assem- blies, stages that cdlossil Speech Festi- val, and ie a minstrel show that always packs ‘em in at the Kewpie Karnival. In spite of all that she undertakes she still keeps that smiling opumism to- wards everyone who comes in touch with her, and it must be a pretty good form- ula for success because that’s just what happens to anything with which she comes in contact. oa 4 ws f � -¥ MISSWELLS WW What can we say . . . what can we do . after we're sorry . . . Well, we usu- ally cry on Miss Well’s shoulder for a while and if that isn’t enough we get a green slip. Which adds up to a mighty poor sob story!! Yes sir, a noticeable change evolved in the west office this year and circumstance brought us Miss Wells on whom we depend to get us into class in a legitimate manner when- ever we dallied too long at our locker, or didn’t hear the bell ring, or—or when we're just plain late .. . and those ma- licious rumors about her slipping around the halls rooting out class skippers, club skippers, and such riff raff, are not fos- tered by usually reliable sources. We all know Miss Wells has somebody to do that for her... but we don’t know who! Miss Wells succeeded Miss Crawford, one of our old favorites, as secretary, and she has won the hearts of all who ever promenaded into her jurisdiction. Mr. COLLINS Mr. Collins literally controls the purse strings of Hickman. . For he is our school treas- urer and handles all our finan- cial problems . . . that is, the schools’, and not the individ- ual... . He’s quite an authority on change, they say, and the very capable manner with which he seems to disperse with all our financial resources (to a worthy end of course) seems to bear out that point. ... Mr. Collins also teaches commerce and _ typ- ing to several groups of aspiring stenographers and the like. And incidentally, he’s a_ jolly good fellow! ! ! Mrs. MCHARG Teaching senior English in any high pchool today, is a risky Bune eee ee Lic Giniversicy profs shout that high school stu- dents are not being properly trained in this subject... . May- be so? But here at Hickman we feel different. . . . This . is mainly due to the efforts of a lovable character of Irish descent with that characteristic ageres- sive manner. Mrs. McHarg not only teaches the customary grammar, but strives to have her pupils develop correct expres- sion and good form in writing. Even those eminent gentle- men of higher learning at the University take a backward step and admit that she does a fair- ly good job in turning out stu- Aone who know their ceeaih Miss HOWELL Sponsoring the Purple and Gold is Miss Howell’s favorite pastime. Ask any junior con- nected with that publication just what her chief duties are and he’ll be sure to say that she acts as master of censorship. ... In other words, she alone deter- mines ‘‘All the news that is fit to print.” “Print, my boy,” I said. Miss Howell also administers a very pleasant course dealing with the principal parts ei Speech, and varies it by throw- ing in some good old American prose...) s he Yep, that’s right, sone. s. = JURIOr English.” Mrs. GIBBANY Mrs. Gibbany’s hardest task is to keep the library in working order and in silence, but her duties vary from order- ing “American Observers” to giving the library teas. She heads the library home room, sponsors the library club, and trains the librarians. This lady earns her rest. AY Mr. DAVIS Down there at the north end of the hall so dominated by man- ual training, there’s another room, inconspicuous, stuck off in the corner, if you wish. Here is located the stamping grounds of another instructor new to us all this year. .. . Most of us don’t get down that way very often but those who do say that Mr. Davis is alright. Mr. Davis was given the large order of beating a few nouns and pronouns and their rela- tions to the English language into the heads of our Sopho- mores. .....fHe Jett us early in February to take a position at Maplewood High School. Let it be said that he had established himself as one of our best fac- ulty pals, and we hope he will come back and visit us in the future. Mr. HILL Mr. Hill, in the short time that he has been with us, has made quite a name for himself . . . The juniors thought enough of him to choose him as their class sponsor and _ his pupils in those math and science classes that he teaches between quips will swear that he knows more jokes than Mr. Ferguson, who was his predecessor in both capacities. Al- though suffering with a severe taste for clothes that you can hear as well as see, Mr. Hill prides himself in knowing the secret of keeping his classes either in convulsions or contemplation, with a mixture of both usually thrown in. . . MISS KITCHENS That genial lady, who spon- sors the Top Hatters (otherwise known as Home Room 215), knows all the angles .. . and theorems, too... The facts are that Miss Kitchens imparts the knowledge of angles . . . plane geometry, solid, and the incom- parable trig . . . But she finds time to add to her celebrated collection of shoes, sponsor the Blue Triangle, and the annual St. Pat’s assembly . . . Learning math under her becomes less of a bore to most individuals, and, that in itself, is quite an accom- plishment. 2 MISS OWEN and MIss ELLIOTT Jolly Miss Elliott, who was in charge of Home Economics, saddened us_ greatly when she picked up her baggage and moved on to greener fields during the first semes- ter. . . . But you can’t keep a good gal forever. . . . Loved by her students, Miss Elliott believed in a strict adherence to the rules of home economics, and_ her proteges had to suffer from faux pas made while cookin’—in brief, they had to digest all the foodstuffs that they threw together, w hether they were up to par or really represented the model appeaser of the carnivorous appetite. . . . Miss Elliott turned out a gala crop of “‘would be brides” each year with the satisfaction of knowing that if the way to a man’t heart was through his stomach these girls wouldn't be found lacking in that respect . . . or any others relating to problems of everyday housework. . . . Miss Owen, who filled the position vacated by Miss Elliott, has shown the same time worn tendencies as her predecessor and seems to be having the same success. MIss TAYLOR Now here’s an example of an overworked teacher. . . . She must stay up late at night walk- ing the floor unceasingly and other things. . . . For Miss Tay- lor, they say, has charge of phys- ical education for Pir Stew ATi thats a problem. . . . Now take the basketball rules . . . they’re simply foolish ... An’ Miss ‘Tay- lor can’t get anyone to change thems. An’ then there’s hoc- key. ... The poor girls can’t hit anythin’ but each others shins course they don’t do it on purpose—they wouldn’t think of doing that, the dears—but it all adds up to treating a lot of bruises which is so tiresome, don’t you think. ... Yep, they’re other problems too numerous to mention, so we just better 20 home and take a little nap, and leave ’em to Miss ‘Taylor ‘cause we think she knows the answers. COACH HATFIELD Some call him “T-Bone”. . . and those are few who get away with it. His best friends call him “Woody”... but we know him ‘as’ “Coach.” . -. “Themame means more than it implies for, although graced with an unso- phicated title “Coach” has a rec- ord that few of his clan can claim. Since the formation of the Central Missouri Conference three years ago Hickman’s foot- ball teams have closed each sea- son as champions of the six schools comprising it... and in that span of time with a sched- ule that calls for games with the best that the districts of Kansas City and St. Louis can offer, the boys who wear the purple and gold met defeat but once. This remarkable record has not gone unheralded, and Woodrow Hatfield and his football teams are feared wherever they go. . . . But, he’s more than a great foot- ball coach, because his basket- ball and track teams have had more than their share of success, and his gym classes are enjoyed by all... . Yes, there is a lot in that name, “Coach-” . 7) To us it signifies Victory. . . Mr. HILTON Foul odors and loud noises frequently issue forth from that part of our school known as the science department. . . . Room 204 serves as headquarters and here Mr. Hilton presides over his domain of Bunsen burners, Liebig condensers, and cabinets full of gadgets pertaining to physics and chemistry. .. . Many exciting incidents have occur- red since Mr. Hilton took his place as instructor, and_ barely a dull day passes. An inadequate number of experiment tables to accommodate the large growth of this department presents an unsolved problem but Mr. Hil- ton looks forward to the day when all may derive the benefits of learning these intriguing sub- jects from direct, first hand ex- perience. MR. GLADFELTER Mr. Gladfelter is an example of what a young boy who takes a fancy to birds, beasts, and beauties (of nature) will do... . For Mr. Gladfelter did just that and today finds him plugging away at his task of explaining the mysteries of things in gen- eral, and particularly biology. .. . Here we find him pointing out the finer parts of a crow. Biology proves very interesting under his manner of administer- ing, plus the added facility of free instructive movies that brings his students in rather per- sonal contact with the subject at hand..... . In¢spite of the fact that it’s a cardinal sin to leave his room without his permission after the bell ending the period rings, his guinea pigs love him just the same. Miss LASHAY When Miss Rummell left at the end of last school year there were rumblings that French would no longer be the same, pleasant study it was... . But the industrious ones who re- mained from last year and the newcomers who walked blindly in without being warned found a pleasant surprise . . . Miss LaShay! French is still a pleas- ant course, but much more so ... Miss LaShay graduated from Springfield State Teachers Col- lege and the Rocky Mountain School of Languages. Although her task of keeping pupils’ eyes posted on the work at hand in- stead of on her amounts to large proportions, she finds time to take a graduate course in the University of Missouri. MIss EITZEN Since Miss. Eitzen’s: illness, which caused her to request a leave of absence for the remain- der of the year, those brilliant scholars whom she taught thought they would find them- selves groping in the dark, seek- ing the truths of Latin and Arithmetic =. . «But thes two substitute teachers and_ their substitutes handled her duties capably. . . . Few teachers have served Hickman for as long a period of time and as well as has Miss Eitzen and it won't seem the same around the old stompin’ grounds until she joins 1s againys 7� Weawishs herea speedy recovery, and hope that this will hasten her back to the welcome that will be hers when she returns... . Mrs. SUTTON Democracy rules in Mrs. Sutton’s classes because she is very democratic— may we use Democrat for short... . Eco- nomics, with its varying arguments on big business, the common laborer, and the financial situation, plus American ae keep her on the constant rustle. American Observers, which present an Gaibiiced synopsis of current news and the latest dope on this political candi- date or that senator, serve as an ap- petizer in both courses. . . . Frequent debates about present day problems often burst forth and Mrs. Sutton lets them progress as long as they remain in reasonable bounds under her guidance. She just simply oozes with vitality and it must be contagious because a certain tendency to work exists when- ever she’s about. Mrs. Sutton graduated from the University of Missouri, carry- ing with her a Phi Beta Kappa key, the goal of all great scholars. Muss STEAN American History ...a men- picture of the epic Revolu- tionary War... the Era of Good Feeling preceding one of bad... the Panic of 1837 . . . Lincoln- Douglas debates . . . a nation divided against itself in a bloody Civil War ... the United States becomes a world power... a moving panorama of action tell- ing the story of our national ex- istence, leaving vivid impres- sions hard to forget. .. . Such is the story of a year’s study under Miss Stean in her American His- to ry classes. . . . Much time is spent in informal discussion of past and = present problems, which adds to the general enjoy- ment of a course which would become monotonous to some without this added feature. The American Observer Z,. M. STRONG Loud. whirring noises are often emanting from the lower west end of the building and the cause is evident if we happen to venture into this other world that seems to be a school in it- self... . Presiding over a maze of hammers, lathes, and buzz saws we find Mr. Strong, “Zeke” to all who know him that well . and the amazing thing is the order that prevails everywhere. ... Since “Zeke” doesn’t believe in mass production, the boys in his manual training classes learn the methods he skillfully em- ploys to turn out tables, lamps, and other usetul articles by means of two strong hands. And from the appearance of the finished products that are con- stantly being laid aside for the approving eyes of anyone who stumbles onto them, we'd say that good ole “Zeke” knows what he’s about. ... Mr. DUNKIN This smiling young man chat- ting so jovially with a group of his students is our old friend, Mr. Dunkin... . It was indeed a blow to the many at Hickman who knew him as a friend when he had to leave in the middle of the year to act as coordina- tor of the defense program in our city, and while we wish him success at his new post we can't help but regret that he isn't here with us. Mr. Dunkin was sponsor of the Sophomore Class and the Hi-Y, and those who have work- ed with him know him as a reg- ular fellow. ... From the Era of the Cave Men to the period of Renaissance and on down the line, his World History courses were to be strongly recom- mended. : . . Come back and see us, Mr. Dunkin! MR. BEALMER Mr. Bealmer, besides sponsoring the Cresset, is our handsome new art teach- er. If any one had happened to venture into the art room this year, the first thing that would have caught his eye would have been the rows of ultra- modernistic drawings turned out under his tutelage. The art department has served the school admirably and without its as- sistance many school projects, such as. the Senior play and the Homecoming ?arade, would be impossible. Mr. Bealmer, to whom we affectionate- ly refer as “Willie Joe,” graduated from Kirksville State Teachers College with a degree of Bachelor of Science. ... We hope he will be with us for quite a tee a MRS. FYFER Mrs. Fyfer, known to all of us for a long time, does an excel- ent job of instructing junior English and Applied Arts. She leaves nothing undone in her attempt to bring out the best in all of her students and she does a remarkable job in accomplishing just that. ... The handmade articles in her Ap- plied Arts classes are both useful and decorative, and a great va- riety is noticeable. . . . Her en- thusiasm for work helps many pupils to develop an incentive to learn as much as_ possible, which is as it should be... . For that reason, there should be more like her. Tes « a c g Naat? odor} Miss JORDAN 7 Miss Jordan sets an example that all “would be’ stenographers would do well to follow. . .. To be unpleasantly frank, her commercial course probably comes closer to giving its students what they actually need in their later lives more than any other at Hickman. And Miss Jordan knows how to spread out the rightly proportioned amount of what it takes to succeed in this field that overflows with competition. Yeah, we just have to hand it to her, because she’s doing so much for so many. MR. KENSINGER Kensinger old boy, you’re all right. . . And we mean that from every as- pectin, alvensi sou do teach such sub- jects as commercial law, commercial arithmetic, and just plain commercial, and do a darn good job of it, you don’t think we’d hold it against you, do you? | Why we seniors thought you were so swell and so gosh darn much fun to work with that we just went and selected | you senior class sponsor for your second consecutive term... and now you won't lose any face if you should chance upon | a third. .. . They tell us that your com- mercial course leaves no stone unturned in its endeavor to help everyone learn . a subject that will serve as a great help i in a future search for what they want in life. ... And when we hear such things we know they’re right and all we have to say is just keep on doin’ what you're doin’. MR. STOOKEY If you see a nice looking man going down the hall apparently mumbling to himself, don’t worry about him. Pig senote crazy. . Go Not yet, anyway! You see, it’s Mr. Stookey, and he has a bad case of music on the brain... and sometimes it even comes out of his mouth. . . . You understand! And if that weren't the case we’re just afraid that Hickman wouldn’t have the band she does today .. . a band we're proud to compare with any of its size in the state. . . . We don’t know why Mr. Stookey isn’t crazy, though, with all the work he does. . . . He dashes over to junior high . . . he dashes back. mes onthe constant:vo.. . ..andhe accomplishes things . . . big things, like the new school song, “Kewpies on the March” and other things, such as having the band play for political rallies and this and that. . . . But through all his troubles, Mr. Stookey satisfies himself by worrying his tie and working toward the betterment of instrumental music at Hickman: +. M Iss WEAVER Here’s another reason why music is definitely on the upbeat here at Hick- man. ... It’s Miss Weaver, who dates back to our junior high days, and who was drafted a couple of years ago to bolster our faltering music department. Since then a motble improvement has taken place in vocal music. . . . Boy’s Glee Club, Girl’s Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, and the Triple Trio are no longer laughing stock and everyone stops to listen hen. that trio of cute sopho- mores get hot. . . . Miss Weaver divides her time beneed Hickman and junior high and maintains a beaten path be- tween them. | You can thank Mr. Barnes Our three star janitors, Mr. Hill, Mr. Johnson, and for being warm at school last Mr. Grooms, take it easy down thar in their reposin’ winter. . . .. He’s the one room. | who fires our furnaces, among . other things. : 8 JANITORS i} Ht Mr. BARNES, Mr. HILL, MR. GROOMS and MR. JOHNSON i} Those three broom-pushers of ours, Mr. Hill, Mr. Grooms and Mr. | Johnson, swear they can out-janitor anyone this side of Sharp-End, and they have countless supporters to back them up in such a claim. .. . Many’s the time they have to be on hand for school activities, but in spite of all ; they have to put up with, they still greet us with a smile and a prophecy P| concerning the weather or political situation. .. . | | Down in the bowels of our school we find the keeper of the boiler | room, Mr. Barnes. . . . His task is one of heating and ventilation, while in the many discussions which take place in his domain, he serves as keeper of the Royal Bull. ... This is just a little attempt to thank these gentlemen | i for the way they Have put up with us and we wish them an easier task in | the future. Bh aS RAN Keep that bench warm, fellows! If you should sud- denly change places with a boy on the field, wouldn’t any one of you feel bad if he froze, sitting in your original seat. Mr. Stookey leads . . . the band plays eeeeana. the baton witlers twirl . .. all between halves of one of our football games. Mr. Bealmer apparently is en- joying himself with Miss Weav- er... Notice the smile! But I bet he smiles at all the CIT Sea Boys! Boys! Get your hands out of your pockets! It’s not be- coming. ... And Murray, wipe that sly look off your face! There aren't any Stephens girls around. You bad girls! What is the meaning of this? I bet both of you got sent out of class. Look at Helen sitting there with that guilty look on her face. Now in the future be more subtle, and tliis won't happen. I wish I could dip that low. ... But we can’t all be as good as O. V. and Anna _ Dean. They've got it down pat. The couple at the right aren’t wasting any energy... but then they’re conservative, you see! ! Although football, bas- ketball and dating are his main interests, senior president Jerry Thomas- son has also found time to be an efficient class officer ever since he was asophomore. Jerry’s net just another popular athlete, however, for he is very active in speech and other activities at Hick- man. Almost everyone will remember him as ‘Mr. Interlocketer’”’ in the Kew- pie Karnival Minstrel Show . . . natcherly! ! Jerry has a real help in vice-president Neal Nash, and he’s bound to find it out when all the senior week activities start piling up. Neal is another bas- ketball and football vet- eran but, like Jerry, is ac- tive in other fields. Serv- ing as president of the Hi-Y for the past year is ample proof of his versatil- ity. He was also award- ed the Cegree of Radiance by the Blue Triangle Club in its annual St. Pat’s as- sembly, after being select- ed by that club as the sen- ior in our school best typi- fying that characteristic. Nelson Easley has no snap job cut out for him as secretary-treasurer, for it is his job to collect from some 270 persons the small sum of $0.25 which amounts to their senior class dues. But he always does a_ thorough job even if he’s preoccu- pied with thoughts. of Ruthie. Nelson is also rresident of the Franklin lub. REGULARS Senior class sponsor for two years straight. . That’s the plight that belongs to Mr. Kensinger. . . . The other teachers think he’s a born politician, but I reckon he’s just a regular guy. . . . He knows that he’s sponsoring the best class in school and that must be the reason for that satisfied look he’s been wearin’ all year... - We, THE SENIORS OF HICKMAN Hicu Scuoot, think we're all Tight. 7). And who should know better? Aren’t we the largest eraduating class in Hickman’s history? Sure we are! Didn't we give the best senior play on record? You said it! And we could say lots more. Yeah, we hate to graduate. But we'll tell everyone we won't shed a tear. Then on «com- mencement night when they hand us our walking papers, we'll break down and bawl like babies instead of refusing to bat an eye like we promised. Hickman’s been darn good to us and we know it. ; But let’s face facts. . . . We've gotta graduate some time. We'll turn our job over to those bouncing juniors. .. - Maybe they'll do it justice. . .. As for us, we'll soon be forgotten if we don’t make our memory stick. . . . So on to newer and better things... . On, you sons of Hickman.

Jesse’s also a good scho- lar and was selected as the best boy citizen of the junior class. These junior officers seems to monopolize the honors, but rightly. For vice-president Don Proc- tor is also the junior’s choice as their most friendly boy. ee og a a Although red headed and short, Peggy Gibson is still a good secretary- treasurer. In fact she practically did all of Jesse’s and Don’s work for them, while they sat back with Mr. Hill and planned. Keep up the good work, red head! ae Po ce RESERV Ere Hill-Billy” Hill hails from the hills of southern Missouri and swept the junior sponsor election by a wide majority. He was accused of wearing a bright blue sport coat for campaign purposes, but we know he wouldn’t do a thing like that. And he’s been a real sponsor with all of his jokes, philosophy, and broad-mindedness. HEIR-EXPECTANTS TO THE role of regulars soon to be vacated by the seniors are these slaphappy juniors. . . . They think they’re an experienced crop and they'll tell you with no lack of con- fidence that they won't have any trouble taking care of things next year... . We'll admit they've come a long way in two years and we hope they can back up their boast, but—in their high and mighty capacity we want them to remember who gave them their first real experience. Come to think of it, though, we find that the juniors aren't as green as the seniors like to imagine. . . . They’ve got the cutest girls, we all agree. A swell Junior Jamboree proved their managing ability. . . . Yes, the seniors have found out that much about the juniors. What we really wanta know is: How well have they learned the fun- damentals of the game? Will they be able to block all of their obstacles and tackle all of their problems?

And here’s the boy that brings us our daily supply. Although new in Co- lumbia this year, Wayne Thomason’s_ ability was immediately recognized and put to work by his classmates when he was elected sophomore presi- dent. Wayne is also treas- urer of the Student Coun- cil. Vice-president Anna Dean Ballew is probably our most versatile sopho- more girl, and that’s not mere talk. When it comes to singing she has no equal in Hickman, and she is also personality plus. Betty Ellard is secre- tary-treasurer. Well, she should be, she’s so good with figures. . . . A bal- let dancer at heart, allur- ing Betty really holds the purse strings of the sopho- more class in a_success- ful manner. . . . She does find time, in spite of all her work, to woo each and every sophomore boy in- dividually. The sophomores picked a real sponsor in Mr. Dunkin, but they didn’t realize that fate would take him away from Hickman as defense coordinator in our city. ... We hope, as they do, that he’ll be back in his old capacity once the storm blows over. ‘THIS YEAR’S BATCH of rookies looked pretty good from all out- ward signs. By the time they're seniors they should be able to take over the traditional reins entitled to regulars. But for the time being we'll simply call them scrubs, until that unmistakable green color begins to fade. They've got great possibilities and the only way to develop them is by the test of experi- ence. But the sophomores are hard- ly sophomores any more. ‘They're practically juniors. And it won't be very long ‘til they’re seniors. With this possibility in view, let’s take the sophomores at their face value, put them through their paces, and watch them grow wiser daily. We've probably been doing this any- way. Poor sophomores! Don’t they have a hard time! Well—our work is almost fin- ished. Soon we'll be has beens. Hope we've left a good enough impression on the sophs with our dictatorial manner. Carry on, Comrades! Row I—Evelyn Acton, Dor- othy Avery, A. J. Baker, Anna Dean Ballew, L. D.

BAND There’ve been some changes made since Mr. Stookey took over the band. oe eVyOULListen real close some time at seventh period you might catch a few strains of Frank Balsamo’s muted cornet improvising “Stormy Weather,” or maybe hear some march that makes the blood race in your veins. . . . From any ; angle, you gather that the band is a much improved outfit, a band that we can be proud of... . Why, now they've even got snappy bright, blue uniforms in f which to strut! Mr. Stookey wears white, natcherly! Ber a Yes sir, we know our band’s young and healthy, and still having its growin’ pains, but we wanta say right now that we don't think it would take a back seat to the best bunch of horn puffers, reed blowers, or drum beaters in the state... . To make a success out of a band that almost couldn’t be called a band at all, has been no easy job. . . . Loyal cooperation on the part of the students when it came to attending band practice outside school hours, plus the time that each individual was obliged to put in on his instrument, have been large factors toward pulling it out of the rut into which it had fallen. . . . These and other policies have added up till we no longer look upon our band with indif- ference. ... The band concerts this year have been enjoyed by a large crowd of students and townspeople, and the general opinion is that any sacrifice that has been made has not gone to waste. ... We hope that Mr. Stookey’s program will con- tinue to flourish, providing Hickman with fine bands for many years.

For years, Hickman has lacked a good chorus. And by that, I mean one that can sing. But Miss Weaver has been hard at wor k ever since she be- came instructor of vocal music at Hickman, and this year results were evident. A patriotic assembly, writ- ten and directed by Miss Weaver, which was given in February, met with such success that the Junior Chamber of Commerce asked for a repeat performance at its Town Hall Meeting in March. This time it went over even better. “America in Review” is a musical panorama of America through the ages, and is highlighted by the sing- ing of “The Ballad of America.” If this is an example of what the chorus is capable of doing, then we would appreciate further attempts in the future, even if they are only half as good. Semen PEP SQUAD Here you see pictured (all together) those fifty pretty little girls who do their best to in- spire Hickman’s teams to victory. It is an awful bore to attend all those silly games, tho, and sometimes a girl has strained herself so much with yelling that she has had to be rushed to a mirror with a bad case of split lipstick or sometimes her hair is even mussed. ... In spite of fear of over-exertion, they did come through with a neat flash-light drill which won them much praise and a big round of applause for their effort. Jakie proved himself to be able to handle women and says that Wanda and “Marg” gave him no trouble as far as yells were concerned. His deep baritone added the right masculine effects to the usual soprano chorus. . . . Miss Always out there in front of the Pep Squad leading the yells this year were Wanda Richardson, Richard Jacobs, and Margaret McCluskey. Weren’t they a peppy trio, though! ‘Taylor graciously gave of her time and mental facilities in boosting the girls to give out with that old school spirit. Even tho they did supply us with new and vibrating yells, which very often set our voices hoarse for days, we still like ‘em and consider our “‘little women” as the guiding light leading our team to victory.

Christman, our own great “‘opery’”’ singer, prepares to fill the audi- torium with her penetrating voice, while the bored Freeman waits patiently . all of this another incident in the precedent-setting Cresset assembly. Led by “Jake’’ Jacobs, the pep squad introduces its version of school spirit in the “Get Acquainted’? assembly. The Christmas assembly took a serious look at the plight of the British people and told of the difficulty they would have in celebrating Noel in their usual custom this year . . . Made us realize how lucky we are! omit al Bi You know, when I think about our assemblies, it seems that almost all of them have something to offer .. . And when you talk to a person from another school you really begin to appreciate what quality we have ... We don’t like to exaggerate, but we think that our assemblies are as good as you'll find in any high school in the state, ex- cluding a few schools in metropolitan centers which have vast stores of enter- tainment at hand... A large share of the credit for this should go to Mrs. Williams, who is in charge of all assem- bles . . . Broadminded and liberal, she sees that we get good entertainment every Friday . . . Witness the Cresset assembly!! One thing that keeps this weekly gathering from becoming a monotonous affair is the great variety of programs that take place before us... Going from one extreme to the other, we have Hell- zapoppin’ put on by the Cresset one week and a patriotic pageant by the music department the next . . . This didn’t actually happen but it serves to illustrate the point . . . Yes, and we mustn’t leave the Junior Jamboree as- sembly out . .. We have that type, also! Don't you Juniors feel too bad about that! At least you were recognized and that’s always a good sign. Luzader and Messenger have a foot race naire They seem to be diggin’ in . . . Who wouldn’t if it would mean getting out of those clothes quicker . . . Ennis Rogers is the official starter. HOMECOMING PARADE Za 7 Ye ae. Ye Amid the dash and din that goes with such occasions, the large trucks dotting the south side of the building slowly were transformed into each home room’s version of the outcome of the big game with Webster Groves . . . Even the grade schools cooperated as each entered a float in a contest that was filled with stiff competition ... Some of the floats indicated a war note, one depicting a bombing scene with the Kewpies showering explosives on the stronghold of the Statesmen, and another merely saying “The Statesmen Will Meet Their Waterloo.” .In a lighter sense, one home room envisaged the Statesmen taking Six Lessons from Madame La , eek Kewpie as only she is capable of giving Met ‘ After the molding of these masterpieces, the a yarade moved off and wound its way to the ater 2. Keun se downtown regions where even the constant light- post-leaners received the proceedings in a joy- ful manner . . . The Football Queen's Float, with Jane Vandiver as the center of attraction, came out on top when the opinions of the judges were compared, and everyone went home happy, their minds polluted with the propaganda that had been manufactured all day for that purpose, and they carried no thought of seeing their team suffer defeat that night .. . It must have been good psychology, because they didn't!!! o - Pid re 4 : : When we seniors look back to our last year in Hickman it'll be a pleasure to remember the senior play, “June Mad.” That was the one Mrs. Williams said was the best she had ever directed at Hickman . . . I guess we’re inclined to agree. Betty Wagner and Bill Regan were cast in the leads, and both turned in inter- esting performances. Victor Drumm seemed natural in his “college boy” role ... Ennis Rogers brought to life some of that “peaceful livin’” he’s been talking about as he played the part of an uncultured houseboy. And Margaret McClus- I key simply pursued Bill Toler all over the place trying to woo him... ‘This was a reversal of their usual habit... When it came to ad-libbing, Ralph Loomis had several he stuck in to: make things run smoothly ... These apparently didn’t i confuse the rest of the cast as they were probably prepared for the worst. i i | The fine spirit shown by the people of Columbia in attending our senior plays ; Ld has gone a long way in helping them to improve each year... “June Mad” . : played to a capacity crowd of students and townspeople and almost all were . ae outspoken with praise of its excellence. But I know the junior class 1s getting Nl | tired of all our accomplishments, so we better sign off before they get it in their | heads that they might be able to equal—or maybe excel—us.

Tis a happy scene of contentment that meets the eye of anyone who ventures here Variety is the spice of food, and, thanks to that, the menu changes daily. . Rumor says that some unscrupulous people can influence the cooks to deal out large doses to them, but of course that depends on how well the individual knows the cook, and on how sly the cook happens to be. After the satisfaction of the hunger desire, the individual is either too full to move at the time or has an excess supply of energy for which he seeks an outlet. ... The first case is solved by relaxing on the spot, the type of relaxa- tion to be Herermined by the immediate environment and facilities at hand, and the solution of the second case is found by indulging in dancing or signing in the auditorium or music room... . Suddenly the bell rings, ending this tenure period for the students, and each goes on to his next class. palncint but relaxed! Hickman’s dances were bigger, better, and livelier than ever this year .. . Instead of juke boxes, we had an orchestra for almost every dance . . . Claude -auley’s all-school band had improved enough over last year to rate a few of these . . . Fine work, boys! Practice hard this summer and you'll be up there next year. It seemed that every club and organization in school tried to out-do the other in giving dances. Dance Club and Hi-Y tied in the contest, but we still don’t know who came out on top when the cash was counted . .. That’s the motive behind all of them, so don’t let anyone tell you different.

Raymond Coats - Central Missouri Conference champions for three consecutive years.

The past season's schedule was, as usual, tough... .

Jack Robinson converted three out of four attempts for the extra point. COLUMBIA 20 SOUTHWEST 0 Playing the role of gaint killers, the Kewpies took the measure of the vaunted Southwest Indians, who seemed to have lost their former power. “Jarrin Jawn” Hudnell bulled his way across for two touch- downs and passed to Bill Toler for a third. Jack Robinson made good on two out of three conversion attempts. COLUMBIA 27 KIRKSVILLE 0 The Kewpies continued their winning ways and romped over Kirksville to the tune of 27 to 0. John Hudnell shook loose for a 30-yard touchdown dash on the first running play of the game for the Kewpies. Other scores were made by Jim Burnett on a long off tackle dash, Jerry Thomasson on a pass, and Don Huff on a reverse. Robinson converted three out of four attempts.

Our consistent N Gare is dependable jerry Thomasson, ace rough man under the basket. eee ree Led by Captain Jerry Thomasson, Hickman’s Kewpies went through the 40-41 basketball season with only an average number of victories. The lack of height handicapped the Kewpies in many games which might have been turned into victories was it not for this disadvantage. Even so, Kew- pie wins were turned in on several occasions against teams which failed to use their height to best results. A whirlwind fast break proved too much for them. The season started with a victory over Boonville, 31 to 23, and the Kew- pies kept to their winning ways against the Alumni, 28 to 21, and Missouri School for the Deaf, 37 to 16. In conference play, two wins were chalked up against Hannibal, one by a score of 33 to 23, and another al- most identical, 33 to 21. Too bad Hannibal couldn’t make two more points. M.M.A. and the Kewpies split, the first going to the Cadets, 24 to 18, and the second, a hard fought affair won by the Kewpies, 21 to 17. Sweet was the defeat of Jeff. City in the first brush with the Jays this year, a wild one which ended with Hickman holding a 23 to 18 margin. In the capitol city, we didn’t fare so well, finding ourselves on the short end, 23 to. 20. Sedalia took us “to the cleaners” in both conference games. Playing here, we suffered a 31 to 25 drubbing, and in the Tigers’ lair we were sound- ly cuffed, 40 to 27. Up in Kirksville, we ran into a small quarrel and lost it temporarily when they failed to accept our argu- ments and amassed too many points. Score: 22 to 18. But when they in- vaded our camp, we proved how_ right we were all the time as we won a close game, 22 to 19. Entering the regional tournament, we fared rather well for a while. We defeated our old rival, Jeff. City, 23 to 20, and eased past Mexico, 26 to 23. But in the finals, we ran into the Sedalia jinx again, and as a result, we only brought home a end _ place trophy. Incidentally the score of that game was 35 to 30. In naming the Central Missouri Conference all-star team, the “‘pickers”’ placed Hickman’s Raymond Coats at one of the guard positions. Nor could they very well leave him off with his all-around defensive play and an eye for the basket which made him con- ference high scorer with 115 points. Top—ts this a pep talk, or what? Any- way, ‘“‘Coach’’ seems to be doing all the talk- ing and outside the scoreboard didn’t read in the Kewpies favor. Middle —‘‘Aw, go on, fella! You grab it!”’ “Why, I wouldn’t think of doin’ a thing like that. I recom- mend that you go first. After all, I am a gentleman.”’ Bottom — Our No. 12 goes up in the air again. STUDENT COUNCIE Realizing that there is no student self-government, the student council has gone far toward forming scliool policy by pushing its program of student par- ticipation in the guiding of school affairs. The reg- ular meetings of fie group, which are called by a student president, seek out the everyday problems of Hickman and try to find a solution for them. Thanks to the council, our assemblies this year have heard a much needed new school song written by band director C. M. Stookey. Other projects, chiefly money raising, which are sponsored annually by the council are ie Kewpie Karnival and the candy counter in the cafeteria. As has been the custom in recent years, the council again selected and sent four representatives to the Central States Conference of Student Councils which was held in Omaha, Neb. Those attending were Stu- dent President Jack Pettit, junior representatives Phil Dysart and Erma McCallister, and sophomore Wayne Thomasson, who is Treasurer of the council. In Jack Pettit, the council has a president that represents Hickman in its best light, a president who knows the many responsibilities at his job and how to deal with them, and a president who always has the best interests of his school at heart. Top—No, he hasn’t been conscripted yet! It’s just Jack Pettit, our genial student pres- ident, putting on his usual Friday morning assembly manner as he leads the student body in ‘I pledge allegiance”’. . .

NATIONAL HONOR ve f | UF Na x . ay o . Ralph Loomis, President of the National Honorary Society, is indifferent as an aspiring sophomore looks over his Torch Club pin, evidently hoping for the day when he can sport one on his own vest chain or sweater. The members of the National Honor Society who were picked as juniors last year are Ralph Loomis, Jack Pettit, Ennis Rogers, Jane Vandiver, Betty Wagner, and Martha Martin. A large amount of the responsibility for picking the mem- bers to be “tapped” this year will fall on them. Due to the fact that the members were chosen later this year, it was found impossible to have their names in the Cresset as in other years. Scholarship, leadership, character, and service—the four determining factors on which the National Honor Society is picked each year .. . And the dream of almost every person in school is to be “tapped” in assembly, march up on the stage, and take his place with the other members of the Torch Club for having lived up to these character- istics . . . But competition is keen and not all of us make it! We don’t let that get us down, however, but re- solve to try a little harder in the future. A little advice to you juniors and sophomores: try a wee bit more than you have been, and you'll be a satisfied somebody one of these days. .

Floyd Baird, editor, and Peggy Gibson, circulation manager, talk over printing problems with Mr. Staples down at the print shop where the Purple Gold rolls off the presses each month. These two have been important factors in getting the P G to its 780 readers at Hickman each month. THE PRESs Purple and Gold The juniors have a Jamboree; the juniors have a Jamboree Queen; and there's a rumor around that the juniors have a newspaper. Now, Miss Howell, who sponsors the P G (Not to be confused with P G soap) was never one to deal with yel- low journalism, and_ therefore the publication is such that it carries “all the news that she sees fit to print.” But the back page frequently seeks to upset this peaceful setup and lower it- self to a more sensational type of journalistic endeavor. Chief sinner this year was the famed “Voice from the Balcony” col- umn written by a ghost writer of no little esteem. For obvious reasons we can't release the name of the culprit. QUILES SCRE The International Honorary Society of High School Journal- ists, but more simply, Quill Scroll, functions smoothly under the sponsorship of Miss Roberta Howell. Being a member re- quires that you be a journalist by profession, but an apple pol- isher by choice. As a result of their hard work on the Purple and Gold, junior publication, this conglomeration of feature writers, gossip columnists, sports reporters, ad_ sellers, editorial spellbinders, and forget-me-nots who know naught, were chosen because of their journalistic ability in one field or another. And, as is the usual custom, they were treated to an ice cream and cake feed by Miss Howell. At that time, they were presented with a bronze Quill Scroll pin, which serves the double purpose of being ornamental and telling all the world that “I am a journ- alist; look me over.and size me up!” This year a copy of the Purple Gold reached every student in Hickman because of the collec- tion taken in each home room. Each member of a home room contributed what he could toward a set goal, and when this was reached, everyone became a monthly receiver As seniors, we have only one suggestion to future junior classes: “Do something about that back page!!”’ First Row— (left to right) —Patricia Mountjoy, Connie Helm, Jean Millard, Martha Martin, Virginia Gauntlett, Betty Alexander.

Debate Debating became a much more extended activity here at Hickman this year. Various schools in Central Missouri decided to hold a series of speech tourna- ments at their respective institutions. Some of these tournaments overlapped, making it possible to send more than one debate team. The entire debate squad received valuable competitive experience in this man- ner. Jack Pettit and Ralph Loomis, holdovers from last ear’s team, upheld the negative side of the question thas year, and with such experienced hands, it was hoped to build a winning combination. Richard McDonnell, Richard Barton, and Neila Barrett al- ternated in forming the affirmative. Some tourna- ments they won, some they lost, and in some they broke even. As a whole the debaters of Hickman experienced only a mediocre year in their contests with other schools. But under the tutelage of Mrs. Williams, and with the aid of Miss Kitchens’ car, they argued from one end of the state to the other, taking in all the sights of every, shall we say, metrop- olis ilnt they widited: Furthermore they learned loads on how to win gracefully and lose honor ably. Representatives were sent to tournaments at W eb- ster Groves, Shelbyville, Missouri Valley College, Salisbury, Canton, and Kirksville. ‘The question for debate was: Resolved, that the power of the Federal Government should be increased.

The following people won twenty or more points which entitled them to membership in the National Forensic League: Margaret McCluskey, Ennis Rogers, Betty Wagener, David Stadler, Martha Marten, Arnold Brody, Richard McDonnell, Richard Barton, and Neila Bar- Lett: Jack Pettit and Ralph Loomis received the advanced degree of excellence.

VERSE CHOIR The first day you walked into speech class, you knew you were gonna get a big kickout of iteo a A becoming emit worn by a gracious lady, w ro you hadn’t known very well before, put you perfectly at ease and when she began the year’s work by testing your vocal chords with various throat exercises you didn’t mind at all. . Later in the year they had Verse Choir tryouts and you were pretty scared you wouldn’t make it. . But you did, and you thought you were a somebody. Well, you were! [hen there was the time when you got a solo in a certain poem and you remember how your knees knocked out a steady rhythm when you had to give it before all those people... . But there came a time when you no long- er flinched in public because you had learned the knack of losing yourself in your interpretation. If you were lucky, you got to go on a trip to Oklahoma City in April, where the choir gave a program for the benefit of speech teachers from every state in the midwest. When it was all over, you wished you had another year of it like those who took it when they were juniors... . Standing (left to right) — Vandwer, Mary Anice Rawlings, Connie Helm, Mal- Laurelle Dan- Williams, Jane TRIREME This group of senior girls might be referred to as our B. W. O. H.; in other words, Big Women (not wigs) Of Hick- man. Of course we don’t mean this lit- erally, because as far as heft is concerned, they're not to be considered freaks, but only average high school girls who have no difficulty finding the? plate at the frequent dinners fed by ‘Trireme. ‘Trireme was founded in 1939 by Mrs. Williams who, together with Mrs. Fred Dixon, sponsors the club. “The purpose of Trireme is to promote good scholar- ship, high ideals, leadership, and the entertainment of new girls who enroll at Hickman. Last year’s charter mem- bers, with the help of the faculty, had the responsibility of picking this year’s chapter. Oh! bother! But they finally succeeded in naming the above girls to follow in their footsteps, more or less successfully. The first thing their suc- cessors did was to elect Betty Wagner president for the ’40-'41 school year, an office which she has held more than capably. The method of election to Trireme was changed slightly this year. A _pros- pective list. of junior girls was chosen by the feminine side of the junior class. From this list, the faculty and members of ‘Trireme picked the twelve girls who they thought best represented the qual- ities of leadership, scholarship, charac- ter, and service. First Row—J.
