MARTIN I BOARD OF EDUCATION An organization Which plays an important part in the affairs at Hickman High School is the Board of Education-a group of prominent Columbia citi- zens, Who Work with Superin- tendent Ziegler in promoting the general Welfare of education in our community. We Kewpies owe these men heartfelt thanks for the poli- cies they have adopted in mak- ing Hickman High School the Wonderful school it is. l l 5 X 1 i TO THE KEWPIES: T l I Your future judgments and accomplish- ments will be based largely upon your past experiences. It is my sincere Wish that the time you are spending at Hick- man High School is being spent Well. To the degree' that your experience is profitable, your future success Will be guaranteed. L. E. ZIEGLER Q Standing: Robert Dralfen, Treasurer, William F. St. Clair, Vice- Presidentg T. D. Hall, Secretary, Leslie T. Proctor. Seated: C. Moss Edwards, President, Dr. Hugh Stephens, Ed Roberson MR. ASLIN To students at Hickman High School, Mr. Aslin is more than 'fPrincipal.M He is an understanding counselor, and efficient administrator, and a true friend. Under his leadership many important changes have taken place for the improvement of our school. Particularly noticeable among these are the decrease of Kcutsn and 'ftardiesv to classes, and the increase of good conduct in hall and cafeteria. He has suggested to the student council many practical activities which have been undertaken throughout the year with great success. ln school circles, Mr. Aslin is considered to be one of the leading educators in the state. We Kewpies are proud to have him as our principal. MRS. VVILLIAMS One of the most active members of this Kewpie- land is the Assistant Principal, Mrs. Yvilliams. She is in charge of the Verse Choir and teaches the speech classes. The Senior Play and Speech Festival are two of her annual successes. Pageants, minstrels, and assemblies are a few of the things under her direction. Besides all this, she finds time to co-sponsor the Tri- reme organization. Kewpies are glad that they have Mrs. Williams to keep up Kewpie morale. . 5 f r x MR. McKAY . W Although Mr. E. AL McKay,s official title is coordinator, few peo- ple here at Hickman know him bynthis high-sounding name. Under this title comes the teaching of personnel classes, and finding after school hour jobs for Hickman students. In the latter field, he has started many students toward their life's work. In his off moments, he will most likely be found at ease, spinning yarns about the Good Old Days. ' MRS. ARMENTROUT Last year her name was Miss Gott, this year it is Mrs. Armentrout. Although her name has changed, she remains the same--a lovely per- son whom alladmire and respect. Mrs. Armentrout teaches sophomore English, and as .Guidance Director, she has given many Kewpies thoughtful and helpful advice. Miss HOWELL A 'Undoubtedly 'one of the best-loved teachers at Hickman High School is Miss Howell. Her capable and original method of teaching English makes literature enjoyable and grammar understandable even to the most disinterested of students. Much of the popularity attained by the Purple and Gold, which she sponsors, is due to her untiring energy in selecting appropriate articles and transacting necessary busi- ness. Miss Howell's subtle Wit and cooperative manner have won for her many friends at Hickman. MISS INGRUM No one Who has ever been to a play or operetta practice can fail to know Miss Ingrum, who manages to be right where she is needed at the right time. Always behind the scenes, she is there to supervise make-up, help direct, and quietly see that everything goes off smoothly. XT is Vx -G '1 44, ,, N J' ' A. . A i .un -.x H-. n n . - D fix-3 However these activities are merely extras as her official duties-. at.Hickman. are dishing out the Gallic Wars, participles and other things pertaining to Latin and English. Of course, in her spare time she sponsors the Make Up Club. fxxx N x f . N . , -. xrac. MRS EADS A MR. BOLLINGER Due to the tremendous role played by science in the world war of today, this subject has reached a new peak of importance in the educational program. As head of this department, Mr. Bollinger fills the billf' The genial manner in which he presents to a physics class the secrets of the mystical universe or acquaints a chemistry class with some profound facts about the elements makes his work very interesting. t Yet through all this uequilibriuml' and HZO, shines a dynamic personality. We couldn't do without Mr. Bollinger. MISS DRENNAN Her lovely smile, her pleasing personality, her sincere amiability, and her fine leadership have made Miss Drennan one of Hickman's favorites. Aside from teaching typing, bookkeeping, and commercial law, she does an excellent job serving as sponsor for the Horizon Club, co-sponsor of E. B. L. A., co-sponsor of Pep Squad, and chairman of Clubs Committee. Hickman is grateful to her for her many contri- butions. This year we were indeed fortunate in having Mrs. Eads join the English faculty. When the seniors walked into Miss Kitchens, old room at the end of the hall upstairs, they found a smiling lady, just bubbling over with energy and ideas, and ready to put them to work exploring the mysteries of English. Besides all this, her clever wit has helped the Cresset staff a great deal. Mrs. Eads is sponsor of the new Golden Quill Club. Eull of pep and zest for getting things done, she has become a real Kewpie asset. j MRS. ELUAH A woman of many interests is Mrs. Elijah, teacher of sociology, international relations and American history. She is not altogether new to Hickman as she has substituted here in previous years. At Hickman, Mrs. Elijah is co-sponsor of the Eranklin Honorary Historic Society and has given fully of her time to make this club one of the most outstanding and interesting in school. Redheaded, versatile, and full of energy, Mrs. Elijah has definitely carved a niche for herself in the life of Hickman. MRS GIBBANY , MISS FORBIS ' ' iss Forbis starts the morning with her sophomore home-room, e ches five classes of World History and sponsors the Camera Club. esides all this, she finds time to help the seniors see that the Cresset comes out. She's rather quiet, but is lots of fun and so friendly. With r personality, she makes history live and anyone who is asked Will agree that Miss Forbis is O. K. MRS. FYFER iMrs. Fyfer's smiling face is an impetus to all her students. Cheery Mrs. Fyfer teaches art craft and English. N Through her efforts the Junior Red Cross Club has become an organizationof which We may all be proud. It has served in many Ways to further the War effort. This genial personality, and Wholesome character are only a .few of the reasons Why We like Mrsy Fyfer. - I Hickman IS proud of its library and rightfully sol Here can be found good equipment, up-to-date novels, and standard reference books, available to interested Kewpies. Here, also, is blessed silence, Where a person can concentrate on that tough physics test coming up next period or that long assignment in senior English. Hickman is proud of its capable librarian, Mrs. Gibbany, upon Whose shoulders rests the responsibility of seeing that order prevails and affairs run smoothly inthe library. I-n addition, she sponsors the Library Club, Whose annual faculty tea has long been an important event on our school calendar. Students admire the efficient manner in which Mrs. Gibbany conducts her Work, and consider her an asset to the Hickman faculty. p . MISS HEINS i In an air of pleasing efficiency, Miss Heins capably teaches her classes of Typing and General Business. Everybody admires this demure teacher and the manner in which she teaches. Talented Miss Heins sponsors the Junior-Senior Dra- matics Club that has been quite active this year. We all agree that brunette, brown-eyed Miss Heins has Won a place in our hearts through her pleasing personality and the strength of her compelling character. MRS IONG ' - Miss JoRDAN ' Gracious, good-natured Miss Jordan ranks at the top of our list. Her eflicient and sincere attitude has won recognition from us all. Miss Jordan has produced in her classes of Shorthand and Secretarial Prac- tice, a predominating, friendly atmosphere that you can't help en- Joying. Miss Jordan is co-sponsor of the Future Business Leaders of America. This new club has proved to be a very interesting and worth-while organization. Life at Hickman High School has certainly been enriched' through the efforts of Miss Jordan. MISS KITCHENS This little lady with the big smile and the ability to make us see through the mysteries of 'cSolidl' and 'KTrig', is one of our most honored Kewpies. In addition to sponsoring the Blue Triangle Club and the annual St. Patls dance, she has acquired the new job of account- a-nt, handling funds of allischool organizations. Miss Kitchens also has charge of the sale of War Stamps. Hickman wonders how this genial teacher manages to End time to get all her activities done so efficiently. Coming to us from efiferson unior High School, Mrs. Long is a welcome addition to the Hickman faculty as art instructor. As the splendid sponsor of the Cresset, Mrs. Long has given much of her time and talent. She is also sponsor of the Workshop Art Club, and Na- tional Honorary Art Society. Those stage sets for the pageants, assem- blies at which we ohed,' and 'cahedv were planned by Mrs. Long and put together on the shortest notice' i-n spite of the difficulties of getting material and help. Hickman indeed owes a vote of thanks to this hard working lady for her effort and cooperation. MISS OWEN Most of the girls in Hickman know and think highly of this smiling brown-eyed teacher, who shows them in her Home Economics classes how to turn out a tasty bit of nourishment or how to whip up a new dress of which any seamstress would.be proud. Miss Owen will get many votes of thanks from girls she has helped counsel and advice. Besides all her other activities, Miss Owen sponsors the Home Economics Club and is always on hand to help with everything from teas to stage sets. COACH RIGNEY MISS PRATHER Although Miss Pratheris new at Hickman High School this year, she has already become a favorite with students and teachers alike. Both groups appreciate her friendly personality and keen sense of humor. As co-sponsor of the Franklin Club, her versatility enables her to assist in providing enjoyable programs and in planning varied activities, among which the annual Franklin Club Dance ranks high. Those who are enrolled' in her American history and world his-tory classes rate Miss Prather an A'-1 teacher, and all Hickman consider her a valuable addition to our realm of Kewpieland. MRS. LAFORCE Although this is Mrs. LaForce's first year at Hickman High School, this tiny lady has won a place in the hearts of all the students. - Her human interests and magnetic personality are only supple- menting a wide knowledge of foreign languages. She sponsors the Spanish Club which because of her efforts has become a very interest- ing club. - , Widely experienced, Mrs. LaForce is truly a real asset to Hickman High School. A i Q After several poor seasons in football and basketball, we really showed our stuff this year. With a lot of poor material, hard work, and great coaching, Coach Carl Rigney was able to come through with a very commendable record for both basketball and football teams. The fellows have a great respect and admiration for the Coach, and also for the way he handled his team. T ' Now, just when it looks as if Hickman has found a championship coach, the Army steps in and says they would like him, too. The fellows, and student body are really sorry to see Coach,' leave us, and we certainly do appreciate the effort he has put forth in bringing the Kewpies back into the top rank in our athletics. All we can say, Coach, is, f'Thanks a lotf' y Miss SPATH That slight and spritely little lass seen running around 'theihalls in a white gym suit is none other than Speedy alias Miss Spath. In addition to teaching gym classes, this conscientious young instructor also takes time to sponsor the G. A. A. organization, and to be co- sponsor of the Pep Squad. Because of her magnetic and friendly per- sonality, she is often the center of a group of admiring Kewpies. 1 MR. STOOKEY Gut of the conglomeration of squawks and noises that are always drifting from the music room, there is often an echo that can be called music. The person directly responsible for music at Hickman is Mr. Stookey. Mr. Stookey has won recognition for his work of devel- oping musicians, and the success of the band, orchestra, and chorus are monuments to his achievements. Although Mr. Stookeyls main job is. music, from the latest jive hits to the classics, we also Hnd him at most of the social functions and athletic contests of the school. We donft know how we could do without Mr. Stookey. MR. STRONG What would we do without Mr. Strong? That is the 5564 question. No operetta, play or assembly program could be put on without the line stage sets which Mr. Strong and his students build on very short notice. This man with the friendly smile and helpful advice is in charge of the Manual Training classes, and he shows the boys how to turn out some really fine pieces of work. All that buzzing and banging that you hear all the time comes out of 'CZeke's,' shop-yes sir, that is a mighty busy place. Mr. Strong has been here at Hickman for quite a long time, and he is remembered and respected by a great number of boys who have left our school, both as a Hne instructor, and as the big fella who would take those kinks out of your back before a football game. MR. SWINNEY , Many students dread algebra as something unknown and terrible, but there was a man in room 209 who has succeeded in bringing this ogre into the daylight and thereby collapsing the myth that algebra is never understood and mastered. But at the end of the first semester there was an empty place in the algebra room for Mr. Swinney had taken a leave of absence. We Kewpies sincerely hope that he will be back again soon. MR. WARNE t Although Mr. Warne came in the last semester, he instantly made a hit with all his students of algebra. His knowledge of algebra, ready wit, and friendliness cemented his relations at Hickman. Behind the maze of square roots and quadratic equations, one can find a true friend in Mr. Warne. And if we don't know algebra at the end of the year, it certainly will be our own doing and not that of Mr. Warne. MRS. ADKINS , Every morning about 8:35, Mrs. Adkins is snowed under with students clamoring for white excuses. She keeps up thisipace until the bulletin for the next day is ready for distri- bution. Kewpies are grateful to Mrs. Adkins for her help and patience dur- ing the bustle .and rush her job in- volves.

She has made the study of lifeia fascinating one for all her students in her biology classes. Besides all these duties, she is sponsor of the sophomore class and is a very valuable addition at Hickman. Miss DAvis F That busy little woman in the Fast Ofhce is Miss Davis, secretary to the principal. She's ai1944 graduate of M. U. a-nd brand new to Hickman this year. Here at school she makes appointments for Mr. Aslin, types school business letters, gets out the school bulletin every morning and sends out those notices to parents. She does all this with an excellent humor. -U X, STUDENT COUNQL FIRST SEMESTER CGUNCIL Back Row:-Bill Baker, Nita Sparks, George Wilson, Charles Mayes, Phyllis Chilcott, George Man- sur, Bill Troelstrup, Jerry Hourigan, Jim Fleetwood.

' The student council is our voice in the management of this school. Under the able leadership of student president Luke Chase, the first semester council formulated the Kewpie Kode, an expression of the ideals We desire for Hickman. The council also presented a beautiful desk to the student body, for use by future Councils. Today, We practice good government in schoolg to- morrow We Will practice good government in our com- munity, state and nation. THE CAFETERIA Though We sometimes -fail to show our gratitude, We KCWPICS really appreciate the efforts of our maintenance staff. Mr. Fountain iris often seen escorting a broom up and down the hall, cleaning up after us. Though We donft see much of the other men, it's because theyfre busy in the boiler room keeping the temperature up. Working after hours is part of their Work, it seems, because they're always here when their help is needed to pre- pare for assemblies, plays or rehearsals, and games. We Kewpies say uthanksf' to Mr. 'cPat Hill, head custodian, Mr. Mack Fountain, Mr. Aaron Cornelison, and Mr. William Ewins. All eyes are gazing steadfastly at the clock. Suddenly it clicks, and the signal is given. A bell resounds through the peaceful halls of Hickman. With one accord the ,students are on their feet- and the rush to the cafeteria is on! 'cWhy the hurry? some innoce-nt by- stander might choose to ask. The reply undoubtedly would be 'fTo get -one of those delicious specials I've been smell- ing all morningf Credit for the success of this dime masterpiece is due Mrs. Cheavens, our dietitian, and her staff of kitchen Work- ers. They concoct the menus that give us energy' to combat those confusing courses in math and history. All agree they do a fine job, and 'one for which We are grateful.

BOLLINGER '6wf lash ' '45 Bef SENIOR CLASS OF '45 We are the Kewpies on the shelff, Not only are We on the highest level in the auditorium but We also like to feel that We are the highest in scholastic ability and achievement, the highest in school spirit, and the most outstanding in all social and educational activities of any class that has ever lived in, loved, and left the balcony and the halls of Hickman. We have had loads of fun and lots of hard Work as, the leaders of Hickman High School and We look back on our senior year proudly with the feeling that We have accomplished a great deal for the benefit of ourselves and o-ur school. When We leave Hickman, not only will We take with us our diplomas, but oh so many happy memories of our good times. We will never forget our bang upl' SeniorPlay, all the swell dances, parties, assemblies, football and basketball games, and the many other activities.

Prefzdent Vice Prerident Secretary Treafurer Sponfor JOE BARNES BILL BAKER MARY ALICE ROBERTSON CHARLES BALSAMO Miss DRENNAN It is often said that the best things come in small packages, and if that is so, our junior class should be one of the best. Although small, we have made up for it with our accomplishments. The Purple and Gold and Junior Jamboree are our most noteworthy achievements, but sprinkled through our class you will find that we have many talented musicians, speakers, and athletes. We have burned midnight oil with Advanced Algebra, American History, English themes, and Speech readings. 'But mixed with these are dances, hayrides, picnics, and basketball games. No matter what we did, we had NfCDjpS Z9 45 fun. We have had the true Kewpie Spirit and could find fun in anything, from a heavy algebra assignment to the funniest speech reading. 'Maybe We did let down now and then-we cut a few classes, put tacks in the teacher's chair-but underneath it all, we are always working for the better- ment of our school. As a class, we have moved out from under the shelf, and now are pre- paring our lungs for the thinner atmosphere of the balcony. We have ripened from the green stage, and are now waiting for full-grown maturity. Hickman has not seen the last of us.

Be that as it may, the Sophs have shown themselves to be a lively, trustworthy group, and have achieved much in their first year at Hickman. Some have attained recognition in art and music, While others have been successful in scholarship and athletics. They have shown initiative in changing the regular schedule of events, such as the annual observance of St. Pat's Day and the Sophomore picnic, to include a dance given at the beginning of the year, which Went over in a big Way. Future Greenies,' will have to Work hard to accomplish as much as have the Sophs of '45. ' SCDPHCDMCDRES SOPHOMORE CLASS SPQ71,-5-07 ------- ......,...

In the first quarter the Kewpies began a drive that looked like a sure score, but lost the ball on downs after they had reached the 4 yard line. Early in the second period Barnes smashed over for the score, but failed on the extra point try. Score, 6-0. - The third period saw the Kewpies cover 80 yards in 2 plays. Barnes 'passed a long one to Haden, then another long one to.Nowell, who scored. Barnes plunged for the extra point. Score, 20-0. The bright- est spot in the game was the Kewpie line, which very completely stopped the Centralia backs for a net gain of only 17 yards in the whole game. HICKMAN 39-MEXICO 0 The first home game saw the Kewpies demolish a helpless Mexico eleven 39-0 beforeabout 1500 wild- eyed fans. In the first period neither team was able to do much, however, the Kewpies did threaten several times. The second period saw the Kewpies amass 20 points in 12 minutes. With just 3 minutes remaining of the half, Ronald Johnson started on his own 27, reversed his field several times, stiff-armed 3 Mexico tacklers, and ran 73 yards for still another score. Score at the half, 20-0. In the third quarter, Mexico punted to Johnson, who returned 52 yards to the one yard line. Barnes again scored on a line plunge. On the following kick- off, Johnson raced down the field and recovered a Mexico fumble on the 5 yard line. He ran across on the next play for the score. Again the extra point try was good. Score, 33-0. The fourth period saw Gauntlett return a Mexico punt 55 yards to the 19 yard marker. Two 'plays later Barnes had scored again, making the final score 39-0. 1 1 1 J' HICKMAN 13--HANNIBAL 7 The march of the Kewpies toward an undefeated season rumbled loudly as they defeated a powerful Hannibal team before about 2000 spectators. In the first period, the Kewpies marched 88 yards with Gauntlett starting the drive from his own 12 yard marker. Johnson and Barnes each added 8 through the line before Gauntlett again broke loose to the Hannibal 18. Barnes then' took command, slashing his way to the 14, to the 5, and then into the end zone. After trailing 7-6 at the half, the Kewpies came back in the third quarter with the winning touchdown. johnson started on his own 17, went to the 34. In just three plays he had carried the ball to the Hannibal 31. Gauntlett added 7, and Johnson broke loose again for a 24 yard touchdown run. This time the try for extra point was good, score 13-7. The fine play of the Kewpie line was especially impressive in this game. HICKMAN 0-JEFF CITY 0 ' For the first time this season the Kewpies were not able to win. -The team just didn't seem to be up to par in the game against our traditional rivals, the Jeff City Jays. ' s In the first quarter, after an exchange of punts, the Jays drove to the Kewpie 10 yard line where they were stopped. After getting out of this tight spot, the Kewpies were pushed back in another, as a Jay quick kick caught the Columbia safety man off guard. Following a recovered fumble on the Kewpie 17, the Jays could not make a first down, and Columbia took over. With just minutes remain- ing in the half, Barnes intercepted a pass on the Columbia 40, and the Kewpies began a powerful drive for pay dirt. With Barnes smashing through the line and passing, the Kewipies drove to the Jay 12 yard line, only to have time run out at the half. Early in the th'ird period, the Jays again threatened as they took a punt on their own 40, and with a pass and a series of runs, drove to the Kewpie 20 before the defense tightened up and stopped them. On the next play, Johnson. broke loose, and with the aid of Hne deception, raced 50 yards down the sidelines before the Jay safety man caught up with him. This was the longest run of the game. The final period saw the Jays again threaten as Barnes fumbled on his own 35 and Jeff City recovered. With a series of passes and end sweeps, they worked the ball to the Kewpie 8 yard line before losing possession. The game ended with the Kewpies in possession at midfield. Final score, 0-0. ' 1 V HICKMAN 21-SEDALIA 15 The ,Kewpies came through when the chips were down to score a 21-15 victory over Sedalia before the season's largest crowd of about 3000 fans. ' Sedalia scored first on a series of great runs by Gofdon Capes, speedy Sedalia half-back. Following a poor Kewpie kick, Sedalia was able to score quickly however. Late in the second quarter, Barnes recovered a fumble on the Sedalia 8 -yard line, and on the next play had knifed over for the Hrst Kewpie score. The try for extra point was good. Score at half, 7-7. After the kick-off, Capes used 4 running plays and a 'pass to put the ball on the Columbia 18. He then knifed through for another Sedalia score. This time the extra point was no good. y Late in the' third quarter Bob Brukardt blocked a Se- dalia kick on the 20 yard stripe, and in 6 plays, Columbia had scored again, making the score 19-13. Early in the fourth period, Sedalia scored a safety, cutting the Kewpie lead to 19-15. With less than a minute to play, Capes dropped back to kick, but a wild center was recovered in the end zone by the entire Kewpie. line to make the final score 21-154 - L HICKMAN 28-SLATER 14 Three plays after the opening kick-off, Slater punted and the Kewpies took over on their own 35. On the very next play, Johnson broke away for a 55 yard gain to the Slater 10. After three unsuccessful attempts by Barnes, Johnson plunged over for the score. Six minutes later a sustained drive brought Slater to the Kewpie 7 yard line, whence Brock flipped a pass to tie the score at 7-7. Late in the second quarter, with Johnson running every play but one, the Kewpies moved from their own 15 to the Slater one yard line, where Barnes bulled his way over. After seven minutes of the third quarter, the Kewpies began to move again. Once again, johnson broke away from his own 37 and ran to the Slater 22. Gauntlett, Barnes, and Johnson brought it to the three yard line, and Barnes then scored. Nielson tallied on a quarter-back sneak, making the score 21-7. With two minutes of play remaining in the third period, Barnes dropped back to the Slater 35 and threw a short pass to Nowell, who raced over for the final Kewpie score. The fourth period saw Slater work the ball to the Kewpie 30 yard line, where Brock again faded back and completed a passinto the end zone for the only other Slater score, making the final score 23-14. HICKMAN 7-M. M. A. 19 Although they fought hard, the Kewpies were defeated for the first and only time this year by the powerful M. M. A. eleven thereby marring our undefeated record. Most of the first quarter was played around midfield, with neither team getting very far in the driving rain. However, the Kewpies did reach the M. M. A. 23 yard line twice on marches of 21 and 35 yards respectively. Early in the second quarter, M. M. A. scored their first touchdown after they had blocked Nowell's kick on the Columbia 15. Following the blocked kick, M. M. A. passed from the 8 yard line into the end zone for the score. Scoge, 7-0, M. M. A. ' Shortly after the opening kickoff in the ,third quarter, Nielson took a Colonel punt on the M. M. A. 40 yard line and returned it to th'e 26. Two plays later, Ronald John- son got off for a beautiful run of 25 yards and a touch- down. The try for extra point was good, and the score 7-7 ' Early in the final period, the Colonels got their second score on a break. Joe Barnes, rushed by the entire Colonel line, threw directly into the arms of the M. M. A. center, who raced 55 yards over a clear field to a score. Score, 13-7, M. M. A. The final Colonel score came a few minutes later as M. M. A.'s right-half passed 38 yards to the quarterback, who was pulled down from behind on the 5. A line-buick brought the score. Again the Kewpieiline crashed in to block the extra point kick. Score, A19-7, in favor of M. M. A. . HICKMAN 6-KEMPER 6 E Although they outplayed and outfought their opponents, the fighting Kewpies were held to a 6-6 tie by a heavily favored Kemper eleven. The Kewpies nearly had a score within five minutes of the opening kick-off as Johnson rified a pass from the Cadet 20 yard line to Nowell in the end zone, only to have the play recalled because Nowell caught the pass outside the end zone. On the first play of th'e second period, Hemmingway re- turned a Kewpie punt to our 36. On the next play, Kresse cut back over guard, skirted right end, and sped 36 yards down the sidelines to score. A few minutes later the Kewpie score was set up as Barnes and Gauntlett V advanced the ball to the Cadet 22, where Barnes flipped a pass to Nowell, who A took it on the 12 and sped across. The try'for extra point was no goodg score, 6 6 .... . Y l With the brand of ball the Kewpies played, they deserved to win. They piled up ten first downs to only three for the Cadets, as Barnes went berserk plung- ing through the center of the Kemper line. Equally brilliant was the offensive running of Ronald Johnson and the steady offensive and defensive play of the scrappy Kewpie line. OUR NEW COACH RAY DE GREEFF comes to us from St. Louis, where he coached three years at South Side High School. He is a graduate of Culver-Stockton, Canton, Missouri. He holds an A.B. degree and an M.A. in Physical Education from the University of Missouri. Hickman welcomes Coach De Greeff. BASKE TBALL BOONVILLE+DECEMBER 15, 1944 p The first game of the year was a top-notch one for the memories of the Kewpie spectators. The Kewpies started out slow with a 25-16 score with the Pirates on the long end. But the last half showed signs of fast ball handling. Ray Odor Was high for the night with 21 points, and continues throughout the season with a good eye for the basket. The game Went into an overtime from a 39-39 score, to a 45-41 Win for the Columbia Youngsters. 0 CENTRALIA-JANUARY 12, 1945 The first game after the Christmas holidays was a let-down from the previous one. The Even Were off the ball, but so Were the Panthers. Neither team could hit the two point slot. The half was 12-9 with the Kewpies having the dozen. The game ended With Capt. Don Nowell and Ray Odor high with 10 points a piece.

Co- lumbia defeated .the Mexico Bulldogs by a margin of 1 point,' 16-15. The Kewpies used a stalling game clear through the 32 minutes of play except for the last three minutes of each quarter. The half-time score was 10-4 with Mexico picking heel dust out of their teeth. Ray Odor scored .12 and Gauntlett shoved in 4. Capt. Nowell, Richard Odor, and Crenshaw did not shoot the whole game, but just h'elped pass the Bulldogs crazy. Lanky John King was held to a 4 point spree by Nowell and the Columbia zone also contributed to his not scoring. Mexico will simply hate us for this. ' The Hickman B team won 37-21. MEX1CO+February 2, 1945 Lady Luck Went past our door and entered the Mexico Metropolis. The Bulldog Coach, Guy Curtwright worked up a scheme for our defeat and they did just that by a score of 33-27. Columbia started off hot the first quarter, but by the following one they tamed us down to a half score of 15-8. Mexico continued scoring the third period and were un- hindered until the fourth quarter and Columbia started a rally which went short of the Bulldogs lead. The Hickman B team lost 22-20. MOBERLY-January 19, 1945 I The first trip away was Moberly bound for the Rigney Ramblers The first two minutes of play Ray Odor sunk a long and Columbia was never headed. Columbia kept the lead up to the half score of 20-12 and continued on to win 39-30.

' t ' 3 GIRI.'S HTHLETIE HSSUEIHTIUII The Girl's Athletic Association started last year, and sponsored by Miss Martha Spath, offers many activities and much fun to girls interested in sports. It has become an increasingly popular club at Hickman. Its purpose is to promote sportsmanship and leadership through basketball, hockey, archery, ping-pong, track and faculty-all-star games. Points are given to the participants in these games, and these points add up to letters and pins earned at the end of the year, However, it is not all sports. On the social side are activities such as all-school dances and a banquet in the spring Where awards are given and officers elected. MUSIC e BAND C Our band has attracted much attention this year. An additio-n to the music festival, they presented one concert, featuring student soloists Bill Ed Baker, john Evans, Don Jones and Lowell Elliott and student conductors Jerry Hourigan and Bob Simon. For them the highlight of the year was the trip of 24 members to Moberly to take part in the state music festival. Then, too, we must remember that the band plays at all our assemblies, games, and keeps Hickman in the public eye with their parades downtown. - Q A band in a high school can be either an asset or a liability but with Mr. Stookey as its director, we can always be sure that we have another item to add to a list of assets. , A S , ORCHESTRA Under Mr. Stookey's guidance, the orchestra, rather inexperienced at the first of the year, developed into a very talented organization. Besides their part in the music festival, they presented a full concert, with Dr. McLeod of the University as guest soloist, and played for various school functions, such as the Senior Play. In addition, they went to Jefferson City to be part of the statewide orchestra for the State Music Clinic. The orchestra has contributed much to Hickman this year in the way of line music.

Students may choose their clubs according to their interests. One interesting club is Girl's,WoodWork, Where the girls have an opportunity to use their hands in making articles on the lathe. The Home Economics club along with various other things did some projects for the Red Cross as did Art and the Junior Red Cross clubs. F.B.L.A., The Future Business Leaders of America, is a National Organiza- tion Whose main purpose is to prepare business students for the futureq The Golden Quill club writes poems, articles, essays, and gives constructive criticism to each other's writing. , The Dramatics clubs read and give plays, While the Make-Up club con- tributes to Hickman in the Way of service, assisting with assemblies and various programs. Camera club, Square Dance, Coaches, Leaders, Spanish and Honorary clubs are Well described by their names. The Library club has Well-rounded activities. It has an annual faculty tea during Book Week.

A high- light of the assembly program, 'which included the Marching Band and Verse Choir, was the crowning of the Queen, Miss Betty Lee Craig, by the football co-captains, Bob Brukardt and Russell Coats. Autumn leaves and our school colors of purple and gold were entwined among the letters of a Welcome, Grads sign on the stage. A white football hung behind the queen,s throne. Miss Florence Chilcott enticed the Sedalia Tiger into a cage, by flattering him, and the football boys trapped him there. Dennie Wise will be especially remembered as the comic clown of the assembly. The Christmas Assembly is a tradition at Hickman and this year it was carried out in a way which fitted the times. . The stage setting resembled a beautiful cathedral in the midst of cedars and snow, with blue lights and blue tinsel. It was designed, planned, and constructed by the Art and Shop departments. The theme Stars at Christmas centered around the Christmas stars and a soldier returning from war in time for the program at his hl h school in which his sister was to be the angel in the tower. Charity baskets, each bearing a large red letter, were placed along the stage spelling out Merry Christmas. The chapel scene was included in the program with the Rector reading the message closing the assembly. -1T...,..M I 1 IUI'IIOR It did not seem' possible, but on the stage April 13, we saw a scene that could have come straight from our book- shelf. We were with Alice in Jamboreeland, here was Alice herself, Rabbit, Porky Pig, the Dormouse, and all the other characters that we know so well. Yes, the 1945 Junior Jamboree was in progress. Beautiful, charming Queen Mary Alice Robertson and her lovely attendants, Jeanne Ballenger and Geraldine Sorin, and King Charles Balsamo, with courtiers Richard McDermott and Joe Barnes, ruled over Jamboreeland in royal splendor. IH CRESSET HSSEIIIBLU From Kalamazoo, Michigan, to Podunk, Utopia, with stop- offs at Carnegie Hall, a ballet theater in MoscoW,land Harlem, was the territory covered in the television show broadcast by the 1945 Cresset from the Hickman High School auditorium. 1 In Kaamazoo, Mary Helen Sheppard, Sabra Tull, and Sarah Ann Lightner were playing in the musical comedy, For Me and My Galf' and sang the title song for their television audience. - J A quick switch of the imagination brought the high schoolers to Carnegie Hall, where Chuck Neal sang Con- certo in All Flats, a take-off on Don't Fence Me In. ' The next stop was, at Moscow where ballerinas Ned Haldeman, Gene Johnson, and Clyde Nielsen showed their aptitudes for this dainty art, while, as a contrast, Mrs. Con- nie Thomas set the ivories alire with Tommy'Dorsey's Boogie Woogie,', broadcast from Podunk. From here, the show jumped to Harlem, where the Men of Note, Bob Carroll, Luke Chase, Dale Brady, and Bobby Anderson, were heard singing What Do You Do, Hey! Hey! and a dancing chorus presented the 1945 Cresset variety show. IIIBDREE Their reign lasted through the Jamboreeland dance that night held at the Tiger ballroom, with Al Moon and the Missourians which was greatly enjoyed by the juniors, and their guests, the seniors. Another Jamboree .has passed and while next year there will be, of -course, another, no one will ever forget the happy moments spent during the Junior Jamboree of 1945.

The senior play Come Rain or Shinen was one of the highlights of '45 at Hickman. The play proved itself to be a big success by having the largest audience in the history of senior plays at Hickman. The house was completely sold out. Looking in on the living room of the Grayson family's summer home, we shared all the trials and tribulations of an average American family. The cast was excellent, all the players giving very convincing performances. By working very hard, the director, stage manager, cast, and all those who helped individually and on committees contributed in making the play a big success. VERSE SPEHKIIIG EHUIR From its beginning in 1934 the Verse Choir, directed by Mrs. Helen D. Williams, has made steady progress until at present over a hundred students are included in its membership. These are selected by tryouts held in the speech classes-winner being permitted to don the costume of old gold taffeta and join in the many activities. Besides the traditional Homecoming and Christmas assemblies at Hickman, the Verse Choir has presented programs for civic and state organizations as Well, among which are the Rotary Club, Tuesday Club, Christian Col- lege, and the State War Mothers. That Verse Choir experiences Will long be remembered is shown by the movement now underway to hold a reunion after the War, at which time the alumni 'can once again read together suchhfavorites as Jessie Jamesn and Simon Legreef' ' ' PEP SQUAD g Sponsors ......,... ............

It seemed almost a hopeless task due to the shortage of materials and laborg latereby the changing of per- sonnel due to military status, and other reasons beyond our control. Inspired by the Kewpie tradition of Hickman High School, we began work, and we now present you with our 1945 Cresset. The Cresset staff is grateful to the untiring efforts, timely suggestions, and Willing co-operation of sponsors, faculty members, and all others who have made possible the ap- pearance of the 1945 Cresset.

PURPLE HHD G0lD A valuable tradition of Hickman High and a credit to the junior class-thatls the stu- pendous school newspaper, the Purple and Gold, written and edited by students 'taking third year English. Numerous and sundry editorials, gossip, and feature articles find their way to the sponsorls desk. Then Miss Howell, who for many years has competently filled this position, meets with the staff to select the articles which they feel will compose an in-. teresting edition. Those with a Hare for business solicit ads to keep the paper financially on top.
