THE CONSTITUTION The Constitution is often called Old Ironsides because of the alightness of the in- jury her hull received in the fight with the English ship, Guerriere. She is one of the most famous vessels of the American Navy and is now fixed in Boston harbor. 1 ' THE CLERMONT The Clermont is recog- nized by modern historians as the irst successful steam- boat ever constructed. It was invented by Robert Fulton. and made its famous voyage ui the Hudson from New Yor to Albany, a dis- tance of one hundred 5fty miles. in thirty-two hours. 1 : 3 ,.'14,i ' ff P Q ' fy 1 gn? - - '1' -4 V A .,1..

The white sails move but slightly in the breeze That ills them, urging on their way The little ships, to clear and peaceful seas. They follow known and quiet paths each day. Their bows are pointed to the afterglow That lingers in the sky from setting sun, Serenely to their destination straight they go. And when the uneventful journey then is done, When they have reached the harbor in the West, They quietly fold in their sails and lie at rest. And some ships ride a rough and stormy sea- They fight the grim uncertainty of darkened ways And wonder where their courses now might be Since they were lost in sad and gale-struck days. They wander seas no ship has sailed before, Ana' charter them for other ships to know. Far off they find strange places and queer ports, As on their dark and futile paths they go. The sails soon split from Herce and howling wind The murky water's fiendish swirlings tear At storm-scarred hulks. which once had been So firm, not cracked and gray, and darkly bare- They grind against the black and hidden rocks-and waves Lash cruelly over ships which sink to nameless graves -Genevieve Duran 3 4 THE UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY A hundred years ago boys who wished to become naval officers obtained, if possible, appointments as midshipmen, and were sent aboard war vessels to carry messages for the officers. No one looked after the boys unless they got into mischief, and then, of course, they were severely punished. Under such conditions only the most determined were able to become officers. Later, schoolmasters were appointed, but they had no co-operation, so the lessons were interrupted by orders from the captain and other officers. Matthew F. Maury, one of those who favored a naval school, wrote so much on the subject that he has been called the father of the naval academy. Finally the famous historian, George Bancroft, for whom the enormous dormi- tory at Annapolis is named, became Secretary of the Navy, and determined to found a school for training officers. Although Congress did not appropriate any funds for the purpose, the War Department gave the abandoned Fort Severn, at Annapolis, Maryland. and nine acres of land to the Navy Department, and here, in October, 1845, a naval school with three instructors and fifty midshipmen was established. The present name was adopted in 1850, and the old Constitution was given as a training ship. During the Civil War, for greater safety, the academy was moved to Newport, Rhode Island, and although it was returned in 1865, students were not encouraged to enter until the Spanish-American War brought about the building of new ships and the need for more officers. The school has grown: much new equipment and many time buildings have been added. Severe exam- inations and strict, impartial training make it necessary for our naval officers to be the finest of America's youth. SECURING ENTRANCE TO THE ACADEMY Since the sea has such a lure for men and'boys of all ages, it is necessary to have some means, aside from the examinations, to keep the number of entrants down to a manageable group. This is done by means of appoint- ments. Each senator and representative is allowed to make three appointments, and as an appointee resigns, is dropped, or is graduated, another is appointed for the vacancy. The President may appoint fifteen men each year, and twenty- five may be appointed from the Navy or the Marine Corps. The newly-appointed midshipmen take examinations at many places throughout the country. If they pass these tests, they report to Annapolis in June for a physical examination. If they are admitted there, they become 'lplebes , and the summer is spent in drill, gymnastics, management of boats, and gunnery. Discipline is very strict, but impartial, and the men have a good time. The course at Annapolis requires much mathematics and physics. There are also classes in English, history, and Spanish or French. Every summer Eleven all classes go for a three months' practice cruise on battleships, and then they receive a month's leave to visit home. THE CGMING OF STEAM The invention of the steamboat was perhaps the most important factor in all history which brought about the complete revolution of navigation. In spite of the fact that popular history has accredited Robert Fulton with the building of the first steamboat, his claim is somewhat questioned. Two years before Fulton's Clermont appeared, John Stevens of Hoboken built steamboat propelled by a screw: and even before that John Fitch of Pennsyl- vania had made a crude one and attempted to force it upon public favor. Fitch was unread and uneducated, and his invention was of the purest originality. Although struggling against poverty, he labored during his entire life in the effort to perfect his invention: but his work was in vain. He died leaving behind the bitter words that at some future date a more powerful man would be given credit for his work. In the attempt to make amends for the injustice to Fitch, some modern historians have even gone so far as to overestimate his work and give him more credit than he actually deserved. Without doubt Fitch applied steam to the propulsion of a boat long before Fulton, but it is doubtful whether Fitch himself was the first inventor. Records have been found which claim the invention of such a device as early as 1543. This is uncertain, however, and perhaps it would be better to say, as Willis J. Abbot has stated, that Fitch first scented commercial possibilities of steam navigation, while Fulton actually developed them. The first years of Robert Fulton's struggles met with the same misfortune that Fitch's had. He was faced with ridicule and scorn. Scientists on every side, including the Institute of France, opposed the work. Fulton was not doomed to failure, however, and while in France he met and formed a partner- ship with Robert Livingston, who Iinanced his invention. In 1806 Fulton came back to America to construct the Clermont. The state of New York granted him and Livingston a monopoly of steam naviga- tion on the rivers in that state, and gave them until 1807 to prove its feasibility. Since Livingston had had an engine built for it in England, it did not take so long to complete the building of the ship as might have been expected, and it was on August 7, 1807, that the Clermont made its famous voyage from New York to Albany, a distance of one hundred Hfty miles, in thirty-two hours. In less than a year steamboats were sailing up and down the river, and since Fulton and Livingston strove to protect their monopoly, a new impetus for the extension of steam navigation was aroused. Without doubt the steam- boat has proved invaluable and has made the world smaller. IRON AND STEEL FOR SHIPS The famous battle between the Monitor and the Merrimac is not im- portant merely because it was a battle of the Civil War. Indeed, it has the dis- Twclur- tinction of being the first battle of ironclads, and it ushered in the iron battleship, immediately out-dating wooden vessels. Although the idea of the usefulness of ironclad vessels had been touched upon through the designs of builders in the United States and in Europe, it was the Confederacy that took the initiative and brought the first ironclad ship, the old Merrimac, into actual conflict. The Merrimac, a forty-gun frigate which had been sunk at the Norfolk navy yard, was raised, was cased with iron railroad rails, and was pierced for cannon. A strong iron ram was attached to her bow and steam was used as the motive power. It was, as we would say today, streamlined, and easily resisted bombardment. This powerful ship, rechristened the Virginia, easily destroyed two of the finest wooden ships possessed by the Navy at Hampton Roads on March 8, 1862. She was confident of victory and only waited for the next day to complete her work of destruction. On the next day, however, a new foe appeared, the Monitor. Reports of the repair and reconstruction of the old Merrimac had reached the Navy Department at Washington when the work was in its infancy, and had aroused a great amount of alarm. Federal authorities began to realize the danger of the affair, so that it does not seem strange that the Secretary of the Navy influenced Congress to create a board of naval officers who were to examine plans for iron- or steel-clad ships. The result of this was the construction of this Monitor by the ingenious Swedish John Ericsson. The Monitor, described by a spectator as a Hcheese- box on a raft, consisted of a round turret about nine feet high mounted on a flat deck. This turret revolved and carried two guns which could be aimed in any direction to combat the enemy. It was so nearly a raft that the Merrimac's ram had no effect. Then, in time of need, the Monitor might run into shallow water where the Merrimac could not follow. In spite of the facts that the Monitor had the advantage, and that the Mer- rimac finally retired from the combat, neither vessel had been able to injure the other. The main feature of the battle was that it revolutionized naval warfare. As one author has said, The day of the wooden warships was over, and the era of ironclads had come. The oak-ribbed and white-winged navies that had ruled the ocean for centuries became obsolete, and all the world began to build Heets of steel and steam. In addition to the idea of steel ships, each ship contributed another factor to modern battleships. The Merrimac gave the armored citadel, and the Monitor brought out the revolving turret. After the Civil War American citizens were so anxious for peace that they put all thought of a navy out of their minds. It was nearly twenty years before men began to realize that the United States would be helpless if attacked. In 1883 Congress ordered four armoured ships to be built, and two years later four more were ordered. Every year the number increased, and in 1890 Con- gress ordered three large battleships. The Spanish-American War convinced the government that more ships were needed, and by 1918 the United States Navy had forty battleships. Thirlw.-n THE SHIPS OF A NAVY In a nrst-class navy there are many kinds of ships, although we often speak of the great gray battleships as though they were all of it. A monarch without his loyal subjects is without authority and power: so is a battleship without its cruisers, scout boats, gunboats, destroyers, torpedo boats, sub- marines, colliers, supply ships, hospital ships, and tugs. Nevertheless, the battleship is of primary importance. A modern bat- tleship is a very expensive mass of exceedingly complicated construction. Ma- terials must be put together and arranged for the utmost efficiency and speed, and must occupy a minimum amount of space. Since ships differ so, it is difficult to give general figures. The United States ship Arizona carries twelve fourteen-inch guns mounted by threes on a revolving turret. As a secondary battery there are twenty-two five-inch guns, besides four torpedo tubes. The shells of the great guns weigh 1,400 pounds. The boat, with a horsepower of 32,000, was designed to make twenty-one knots an hour. This is an example of one of the battleships of our navy, although there are some of greater power. A cruiser has lighter armor and fewer guns than a battleship, but greater speed, which enables it to arrive quickly at the point of danger. The cruiser can cause great damage to the enemy. The original purpose of the destroyer was to destroy the small torpedo boats. These destroyers were so superior to the small boats which fired tor- pedoes from their decks that few of the latter now exist, but every navy has many destroyers. They have no armor, but are often built to do thirty knots an hour, They carry three- or four-inch guns and torpedo tubes. Today their duties include running errands, protecting merchant vessels, locating mines and submarines, dropping depth bombs, and firing torpedoes. For battleships that use coal, Colliers are used to supply their needs, and either meet the battleship at an appointed place or stay with it. Derricks and scoops are used for loading. Supply ships are responsible for other necessities. The hospital ships often have every convenience that a modern hospital has. They relieve the battleships of their wounded, as there is neither room nor equipment for first aid in the mother ship. A great ship can neither start, turn, nor stop quickly enough to be allowed to go in and out of the dock under its own power, so the tiny tugs are indis- pensable. They are responsible for seeing the ship into the the slip or out into the water. ' e Repairs too difficult to be made on a fighting ship are turned over to vessels fitted as workshops. Submarines have complete forge and work-shop for repairs. They are equipped with guns, but are not suited for regular ocean duty. THE SHIP THAT WON A WAR The Lusitania was not a large ship, but she was a beautiful creature. The Cunard Lines operated her at a loss to regain the Atlantic record which had been lost to Germany. On her final trip she set sail with 1,257 passengers, Fourlcen many of them United States citizens. Some of the passengers had received tele- phone calls, and notices had been printed in the newspapers warning them not to sail. A few took this advice and canceled their reservations. The ship entered, on the seventh of May, the danger zone created around the British Isles by Germany. Captain Turner ordered the life-boats lowered to deck-rail level for use in emergency. She had sufficient lifeboats for 2,000 persons Without crowding. A tenseness which did not lessen with the passing hours, gripped those on board. Then, without any warning whatsoever, the ship was struck. A second torpedo struck the boat, making a hole large enough for a railroad train. Immediately a third torpedo appeared, but missed its mark entirely. Double-quick order for the lowering of the lifeboats was given, and the women and children soon filled them. The ship then fell on one side, making most of the lifeboats useless. In twenty minutes she had sunk and 1,198 lives had gone with her. The Wireless was no good after the first five minutes, because the dynamos were flooded. Nearly twelve hun- dred people were drowned in twenty minutes without warning! The Germans tried to excuse themselves with sieve-like excuses. Our relations were strained with Germany so near the breaking point that they could not last for long. Soon we severed them entirely, and Germany, instead of impressing the World with her greatness, as she had hoped to do by sinking the Lusitania, found that her murderous acts on the sea eventually cost her nearly everything she possessed. ANTARCTIC SAILING The Iirst two ships to cross the Antarctic circle were the Resolution and the Adventure, vessels averaging four hundred tons each, under the command of James Cook, who was sent out by the British Admiralty. Cook did not discover any land, but he aroused an interest in it that set other people on their way. Second in importance to Cook's voyage was an expidition sent out by the Russian government with Bellingshausen in charge, with two five-hun- dred-ton ships for the trip. After a great deal of trouble, he reached a small island now named Peter I, the first land ever seen inside the Antarctic circle. The next week he saw at a distance of forty miles the larger island of Alexander I, but was unable to reach it. The United States sent its first expedition under Lieutenant Charles Wilkes in four small vessels that tried to sail south of the point reached by Cook, but adverse weather conditions kept them back. They reported seeing land in various places dimly, but were unable to reach it. Captain Rose was sent out by the British government for the purpose of scientific surveys. He had two small ships of about three hundred fifty tons, the Erebus and the Terror. He made several important discoveries, to be confirmed by explorers of the next century. H. M. S. Challenger was the first steamship to cross the Antarctic circle. Sir .Iohn Murray of this ship made some discoveries as to land composition. Fiflccn In 1910 Captain R. E. Scott set sail from England with the Terra Nova. His purpose was to make extensive scientific investigations. He was quite surprised to find a Norwegian party sailing around in the Antarctic Ocean under the direction of Captain Roald Amundsen. Amundsen had been sent on a trip to the north pole, but had decided to trythe south, and managed to get there without being discovered. Scott reached the pole, but was bitterly disappointed to find that Amundsen had preceded him and set up a tent there to let him know that he had been there. Scott and the men who went into the interior with him perished there on the return trip. The latest explorer to sail to the Antarctic is Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd. who is now there for the second time. On his first trip he took the steel ship Eleanor Bolling and his flagship, the City of New York. The latter ship is old, and has been battered by ice and gales that would have demolished any other ship. It carried Roald Amundsen on one of its first voyages into the north, on a Greenland sealing trip. This ship is excellent for Antarctic work because its bottom is built to lift the boat should it be caught in a freeze. The sides are three and one-third feet thick, and the ribs are only a few inches apart. A ship of lesser strength than this could not have withstood the ice and gales of the Antarctic. On his second trip Byrd again took it for these very reasons. Had there been no ship like this, the men would probably never have returned from Little America, for one gale loaded it with two hundred tons of ice. a load which would have sunk another, and yet it pulled through to bring the men back to civilization. Thus, ships have been used throughout history in the expansion and enlightenment of the inhabitants of the World. ' SUBMARINES Submarines were known and used as long ago as the American Revolution- ary War. The first submarine, a wooden ship, was invented by David Bush- nell and was used by Sergeant Lee to go under the bow of the British ship Eagle and attach a magazine of explosives to its hull. A little later than this Robert Fulton built a submarine and offered it to Napoleon to aid him in his invasion of England. However, submarines were not yet efficient enough to become as valuable as they are today. Experi- ments have been made continuously to improve them, and shortly after the Civil War valuable improvements were made by John P. Holland and Simon Lake. The submarines were then a much more effective weapon of war. By means of oil engines the vessels can maintain a high speed on the sur- face of the ocean. However, because of fumes from the oil, the submarines use the less powerful electric motors to propel them under the surface at an average speed of twelve miles an hour. For this reason they dive only when necessary. The electric motors are practically noiseless and heatless, and in addition leave no bubbles to warn the enemy. The boats have, besides the ordinary rudder, two rudders placed horizon- tally to help make them go up or down. However, the greatest force for vertical motion is the weight of the ocean water, which is let in through valves Sixteen until the required depth is reached. When this water is forced out, the sub- marines rise to the surface again, Compressed air is used for two different things in submarine warfare. It is used to maintain fresh air in the interior while underwater, thus enabling the occupants to remain below the surface for several hours, and it is used to force the torpedoes out of the guns. The invention of the periscope has greatly reduced the danger of sub- marine sailing. One of the principal dangers it has almost done away with, is that of running into, or being run into by, a surface ship. This accident is always fatal because the ships are so lightly constructed that the very touch of a ship's hull will tear open their shells and send them to the bottom. SAUCY TUG Saucy tug, you ought to be A model of humility. Have you ever traveled far? Did you ever win a war? Have you any claim to fame? Does anyone recall your name? Tiny tug, I want to know Why you always come and go With that impious air of pride. What pert secret do you hide? Is it proper, now, to mock The bigger, better boats at dock? Saucy tug, is it because Gigantic liners always pause And let you guide them in and out And nose their helpless hulks about? You have conquered and defied The great. Of course you're satisfied. -Margaret Calbeck, '34. Second place in poetry contest. Seucnre n HIT AND RUN Green Wood Lane, a short, winding street upon which three houses stood behind high hedges, is infrequently used by either cars or pedestrians, and its intersection with Walnut Avenue is poorly lighted. Since darkness had already fallen, Pat Shepro had no way of knowing that a small boy was racing along tho lane as he approached the avenue, until with a dart the lad skipped off the sidewalk directly into the path of the speeding roadster. No one could have prevented what followed. In about as long a time as it takes a lightning flash to fade, the whole incident was over and photographed on Shepro's mind. Unforgettably, he saw a small hand thrown protectively up. He heard a bump and felt it, a very little one. There wasn't any cry. He saw a limp figure thrown to the side of the road. It was panic that then gripped Shepro and caused him to look into the rear vision mirror. He saw that there were no cars behind. No one was ahead: no one was coming. It was still panic, not Shepro's conscientious thinking, that set foot on the gas and sent the roadster racing ahead. In a moment he saw a light ahead. Panic at the wheel whispered that the roadster must not be seen at that spot. From street to street, left to right, in and out like a fox he drove. He reached the boulevard. Then he lost part of his terror because he thought he could lose himself for good. He made a wide left turn in the desperation of flight. His foot pressed hard on the gas, harder than before. Many cars were on the boulevard, but none of them passed him or even seemed to keep up. How come the cops didn't get me? he asked himself through chattering teeth. They're thick on the boulevard. The roadster slowed down to sanity, and Shepro began to think. I couldn't have helped hitting him, he told himself, a dry sob catching in his throat. I couldn't help it. It wasn't my fault at all. He ran right into my path. But panic still at his elbow helped him to reconcile things. Only one thing to do. It was his fault. But they might have held me. He glanced about to see where he Was. Rosemont. He recognized the suburb. He must have come fast. Rosemont was seven miles from where he had been. He told himself he must make some kind of plan, do something. decide. Dorothy and Jimmy, his lips tightened, must never know. No, but they would wonder about him if he were late. His habits were very regular. He was already late. Two hours, from five to seven o'clock. He began to plan coldly-as coldly as possible. Of course he had hit someone, but it wasn't his fault. But it was done now. What next? Dorothy was so keen to see through things. But she must never suspect. He drew into a parking space in front of a drug store. With fists actually clenched, he got out and walked into the store. Slug, please. liiyhlccn He tossed a nickel on the counter. His Voice seemed to him weak and far away. Did the man at the counter notice anything? No, he seemed to be concerned only in getting the nickel into the cash register. Shepro shut the door of the telephone booth tight. There he relaxed fully five minutes before he finally picked up the receiver. Act natural, he kept saying to himself. Finally he dropped the slug and dialed. A moment of ringing and the receiver was lifted at the other end. 'AHello, a softly modulated voice which he recognized answered. Lo, Dolly. Pat-Pat speaking, dear- You're late. boy. Where are you? ai Sorry I couldn't call sooner, but I couldn't make it. I had to go way out on the west side this afternoon. See? in If you keep saying 'see' like that, Pat. a smile in the voice, i'I'll know you are lying. Where are you now? i'Rosemont. In the drugstore. On the way home? Yes: be there in half an hour. Less, if I can make it. All right, boy. Don't be any longer than you have to. I won't. Good bye, dear. Good old Dolly. He wiped sweat from his forehead. He felt relieved. Outside of the drug store panic came back with a rush. A policeman was standing in front of the roadster, looking at it. Cold fear in his heart, he withdrew around the corner. Minutes passed. He must go home. He could hardly make his feet walk under the po1iceman's eyes. Like a thief he crossed the street, then recrossed, coming unseen from behind. Steadily he opened the door, slipped into the driver's seat, and put the key into the lock. With his eyes on the policeman, he put his foot on the starter, pressed it. And then the policeman moved, and clasping his hands behind his back, turned and sauntered off. Shepro could have shouted. Everything was all right after all. He shifted gears and glided silently away. At home he drove straight into the garage, which stood at the back of the lot. Closing the doors from the inside, he did a gruesome thing. He found an old rag and wiped the bumpers, fenders, and front wheels. Nothing there. When he finished he tossed the rag into the little coal stove and watched it burn. He locked the garage doors and started for the house. This would be the test, he knew. He let himself into the house without ringing. Nobody downstairs. Odd. Where were Dorothy and Jimmy? A murmur of voices upstairs. They must not have heard him drive in. I'1l surprise them, he thought, and tip-toed up the stairs. Nineteen Lights in all the rooms. The voices were in Jimmy's room. The room seemed full of people. Dorothy was near the door. She turned and saw him. With a strangled cry, she stumbled toward him. ' 'Pat-Pat I' ' He caught her in his arms. Why, Dolly dear, what's the matter? She was weeping wildly. What is it? Even before she answered, the terrible knowledge began to creep into his brain. He stared over her shoulder at the faces of the strangers.. He stared past them to the little, white, cold face on the pillow. T Our Jimmy, she sobbed brokenly. Some cowardly driver hit him and ran away. -Jimmy Knight, '3 6. First place in short story contest. I LIGHTS I watch them, Those flickering lights Of the distant town-hazy Thru the smothering fog. I press my face Against the car window Reluctant to pass them on, For they seem to try so hard, Those feeble lights, To send a cheering gleam Abroad-out thru the darkness Of the night-but thick mists Fall and envelope them- And as we move on They only waver, Flicker for a moment, Then are gone. -Genevieve Duran, '3 4.

Twenty THE ADAPTABLE CONSTITUTION I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. On March 4, 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt took this oath of office. The American people designated him their chief executive, the man who must guide the Ship of State through the storms of financial distress and difficulties, with only the Constitution of the United States as his chart. The destiny of the American people lies within his hands. A few years ago a student of international affairs declared that the nine- teenth century had belonged to England but that the twentieth century was undeniably the glorious age for America. Is America ready to seize this glory prophesied for her? Today, almost a year after the inauguration of a new president, we examine the state of affairs. Are we doing our part toward making this prophecy possible? Are we coming through the storm? When Roosevelt entered office, the problems that confrontedthim were of monumental importance. It is with these problems that President Roosevelt is so courageously battling. Each calls for a specinc remedy. The problem of unemployment can only be remedied by increased investments of new capital in durable goods. The things people eat and wear are such goods. Through the allotment of public funds the laboring man is put in the position to buy. When he can buy, a demand is created, and the long chains of allied industries necessary to satisfy his needs are set in motion. Thus our second difficulty is partially eliminated. The agricultural disadvantage can only be relieved through an advance in the price of that product-but this advance will also help to relieve the burden of debt. The stabilization of national currencies can come about only through its stabilization in respect to a standard so that they can become stable to each other. At present, gold seems to be that stand- ard. To each of these problems the president is giving his best attention. To solve the problem of unemployment we have the National Recovery Act with its codes for each industry, With employed men will come a demand and a consequent rise in prices, hence increased participation of capital. Ultimately the farmer will be benefited. We are in the process today of developing a stabilized currency which will contribute to a world-wide restoration of credit. It is for one of these problems that I plead with you-that of a general lack of confidence on the part of capital in enterprise. Do I need to sing the glories of America? Do I need to point to our country's flag to remind you of its prediction? Are we, you and I, going to fail in its confidence that America does not surrender? Are we going to remain idle in a time when every person should come to the aid of his country? In order to set that Ship of State back in its proper course we must have the co-operation and confidence of every citizen. As citizens of these United States it is our undying duty to protect and defend those sacred rights as set forth in the Constitution, that it may become an impregnable fortress between the individual and the chaos of uncertainty. Tw:-my-one When a country is getting in control of so many of these monumental disturbances, it is only natural that we be inclined to give the credit to the leader of that countryg accordingly, we hear on every hand the praise of Presi- dent Roosevelt. I do not mean to detract one bit from that praise-he is doing a conscientious piece of work, and is truly the man of the hour, but should all the credit go to one man? ls it not logical to assume that a man able to accomplish so much in so short a time receives power from some source? That source is the Constitution of the United States. Many years ago John Marshall said, There are provisions made in this Constitution intended to endure for ages to come, and consequently to be adapt- able to every crisis. Consider the grave periods in the history of the United States through which we have passed triumphantly. The panic of 1837 was almost as severe in its day as the one from which we are just recovering. Finan- cial difficulties were present in 1873 and in 1907. We have survived a civil warg we have settled difficulties with foreign nations to their satisfaction and ours. We have emerged from the great World War with a fair share of credit. Today we stand at the threshold of a new day-and why? Because we have been governed in principles of justice and equality as set forth in a constitution sufficiently steady to prevent our being swept away on a hundred intellectual and patriotic fads of particular moments and time. The man who says Roosevelt is becoming a dictator does not realize that he is exercising no power which is not given him by the fundamental law of the land. Perhaps we are doing some things which a few years ago might have been considered radical, but do you observe that we are doing these things in an orderly way? We may be gaining an entirely new conception of govern- ment, but we are gaining that conception without bloodshed and revolt. Today is a day for understanding, patience, and co-operation. Today. therefore, is a day in which it behooves every one of us to make some effort to understand this government of ours and to appreciate the problems to be solved. We are attempting at the present time to relieve our country from financial distress, but we must remember that the present crisis did not come upon us in a day and it will not be solved in another day. Yes, the American people must have patience. Let our creed be to consecrate our energy, experi- ence. and resources in a faithful endeavor to serve our country with a spirit that will always prove worthy of the respect and confidence of our Constitution. Furthermore, as Americans, we owe to our country our utmost co-opera- tion to the end that we render her the tithes of the most efficient and loyal citizenship conceivable. Our Constitution, the morning star of that liberty which subsequently revolutionized America, can only be looked upon by true Americans with unblemished patriotism. To this end I appeal to you. Give to your President the loyal support which he deserves as your representative in a time of trial and stress. Give to your country and its constitution the loyalty of that citizeniship which it gives to you. Then America can not fail to reach the.. glory that is her due. ' -Norman Sharp. '34. First place in oration contest. -I 00' an N 1 0 Twcnly-Iwo GEOMETRY It all happened a coupla thousand years ago. Some Greek mathema- tician known as Thales got the idea that mathematics and algebra weren't hard enough as they were, and, having nothing else to do, he invented geometry. That was only the beginning, however, for as other mathematicians down through the ages decided they were fully as intelligent as Thales they added new theorems, and this continued for several centuries until the poor student of today, attempting to unravel the mysteries of this ancient puzzle, runs into considerable difficulty. Geometry is a very valuable subject, however, as some very valuable con- clusions may be drawn from it. For instance, we are given a ship fifteen miles from shore sailing ten knots per hour toward the northg at 5:30 in the morn- ing the captain noticed they were directly east of the lighthouse and at 6 the same evening he noticed that by some strange chance they were at a forty-five degree angle with the lighthouse. With these facts we are to prove that the ship will arrive in a town thirty miles away the following evening in time for supper. Also, if XY over Z is equal to ZY over X, then the captain is either per- pendicular to the deck or parallel to his bunk. We believe we can prove him to be parallel, and, as it is rumored through the crew that he isn't tired, We believe we can feel fully justified in saying he isn't seated. He is either tired or he isn't, and if he isn't tired he must be tired, for no other possibility exists. ln this manner we have proved that the ship will be in London last week, providing the second mate doesn't get seasick, which he probably will, so the ship is three hours ahead of schedule, but it is probably a different ship and anyway a ship was seen to pass a given point yesterday, not tomorrow, so if the captain got there at all he was probably on time. Simple, isn't it? There is really nothing to worry about. There are so many students that do have trouble with geometry and stay up nights cramming for six weeks' tests that a large eastern light company gave a local school a large sum of money to encourage students to take geometry in order that the students might use a larger amount of electricity. This was never a success, however, as the football team lost an average of fifteen pounds to the man from worrying about geometry, and the subject was dropped. After reading the material I have prepared, dear reader, if you still wish to take geometry lightly and think it is something that is here today and gone tomorrow, you are most certainly hopeless, for people come and people go, but geometry goes on forever!

Elliott, Superintendenl of Schools. The progress of our high school during the past year has been materially helped by the fine co-operation of the Board of Education. Special effort has been exerted to give the high school all the attention possible, so far as repairs and equipment are concerned. The members of the Board of Education are as follows: Mr. S. A. Harris, Mercantile Trust Company: Mr. George W. Olliver, District Manager of J. C. Penney Co.: Mrs. N. C. Garlockg Mr. Kelley Greenwell, Greenwell Poultry Co.: Mr. Charles F. Wells, Empire District Electric Co.: and Mr. H. R. Wheeler, Manager Joplin Retail Credit Association. I ty THE CAPTAIN - Learning to think is one of the most important ends in education. Not all those attending school attain this end. Many have failed to master the meaning of the lessons studied. ln fact, some people seem to think that the more schooling people get, the less they are fitted for the practical things of life. This should not be true if we give proper weight to the meaning of what we study. The best thinkers in our schools become the greatest successes in all lines of activity. no matter what the activity may be. If one has mastered the thought of the lessons he has studied. the books he has read, the experiments performed, the things done while in school. he has acquired the knowledge that is of practical value. The person that knows is the per- T' son that can be most useful in life, H' E' ELAINE' A' B A' fy V, V Knowledge is power, but is of most J value to the world when possessed by the one who thinks aright. H. E. Blaine, Principal of Joplin High School. Joplin High School has had a total enrollment of l,276 pupils during the past year. Of this number there were 642 boys and 634 girls. The enrollment was divided among the three classes as follows: 543 sophomores, 89 of whom were admitted from the junior high schools at the mid-termg 410 juniors: and 343 seniors. At the end of the sixth month the enrollment totaled 1,206 pupils, with an average daily attendance of l,l67. There was a total of 773 pupils over sixteen years of age. The average age of the graduates is seventeen years and three months. There were 312 boys enrolled in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. and 24 boys enrolled in the trade school courses. There have been several changes in the faculty since last year. Mr. W. N. Collins has succeeded Mr. E. O. Humphrey as boys' athletics coach. while Mr. Humphrey has become an instructor of science and history. Mr. Eugene Henning has succeeded Miss Laura K. Wolfe as a teacher of Spanish.

THE BELL THAT RINGS UNDER THE SEA In foggy weather ships must be warned of dangerous places and guided as to their location. By means of electricity the nearest lighthouse keeper rings a bell under the sea. Each ship has inside its hull, on each side, a microphone which collects the sound of the bell as it passes through the water and magniiies it. A wire connects each microphone with a telephone receiver in the wheel- house, and by turning his ship until he hears the bell with equal volume from each side, the captain is able to point his ship toward the bell. His chart shows the position of the bell, and from this he is able to determine his location. FARRAGUT SAVES THE SHIP In 1812 David Farragut entered duty on the Essex, which was com- manded by Capt. David Porter, who was his foster father. Just a year pre- vious to this, at the mature age of nine. Farragut had received his appointment as midshipman in the U. S. Navy. Soon after he started duty, several British boats were taken, and the captives aboard the Essex far outnumbered the crew. Mutiny was inevitable, and one night, as young David lay awake in his ham- mock, he saw a man with a pistol looming above him. The boy feigned sleep until the Englishman went away, and then, dodging the silently gathering mutineers, he crept to the captain's quarters. Porter rushed onto deck shouting Firel Fire! This was the only way to save the ship, for it brought the crew, remarkably well disciplined in fire drill, tumbling on deck. The mutineers were completely demoralized by the unexpected appearance of the crew in perfect fighting array. Thirty-lhree FROM THE CAPTAIN'S NOTEBOOK During the past year many interesting and profitable things aside from the regular school work have happened in and around our high school. The most recent unit added to our schools is our new stadium which is being constructed on Junge's athletic field. The field was donated to the school several years ago, but until recently we had not received full benefit from it, because there was no provision for accommodating the crowds attending the events. The stadium will be completed in time for the football season. The project was made possible through the opportunity to use C. W. A. labor. An intensive drive for funds to purchase materials resulted in donations from Joplin business and professional men, alumni of the school, the faculty, and the student body. The concrete stadium is 50 feet high, and 180 feet long, and will be sufficiently large to accommodate the crowds that attend our athletic events. The expense and labor of fencing and grading .lunge field is being met by the Board of Education and the athletic department. In the summer of 1933 our auditorium was re-decorated. While other parts of the high school had at various times been renovated, this is the first time in recent years that the auditorium has had any attention. We feel sure that now our assembly room, with its delicate green and ivory color scheme, is as beautiful as that of any school in the state. The exterior woodwork of our building has recently been painted by C. W. A. workers, who also completed many needed repairs. With these minor improvements, we find our building in better condition than at any other time in recent months. 'On December ninth we celebrated the close of a very successful football season with our first all-school party, in our gymnasium. The affair was sponsored by the student council, who managed it very efficiently. Since this was our first venture of this nature, the party was planned for only three hundred. A good dance orchestra, a well planned floor show, a fortune teller's booth, games for those not caring to dance. and satisfying refreshments helped to make the party a success. The student council, pleased with the generous response of the student body, is planning another all-school party, to be held before the close of school. On February 23 the Diamond and Disc sponsored its first military ball in the gymnasium. The affair was held for all members of the Joplin High Thirly-four R. O. T. C. and their guests, with members of the faculty and board of education as honor guests. i The officers attended in full dress uniform, while the cadets wore uniforms or not, as they chose. Preceding the ball there was a grand march, led by Lieut. Col. John Gunn and Atalie Barnett. There was an attendance of about 250, and the evening was a decided success. It is planned to make the military ball an annual affair. Our main corridor has a very attractive new trophy case, presented by the class of 1933. Our fine collection of trophies, won at many music, athletic, and other contests, had been disposed at various places around the building, for lack of an adequate display cabinet. The case, filled with our fine trophies, makes a very imposing addition to our hall. The only drawback is that the ca-se is filled now, and Joplin High has just started on its march to bring home as many honors as possible in all district, state, and national contests. A civic project in which many students participated was the Freedom of the Press essay contest, sponsored by the Joplin Globe and News Herald in the district. Quite a number of our students won prizes, including Imogene Frizzell, a senior, who won the grand prize of fifty dollars. Another activity carried on during the last several months in our school building, although not concerning our student body, was the night school for adults. There was no tuition charge, and practically every course desired was offered. In so far as was possible, each instructor was the holder of a master's degree. Arrangements were made by which the University of Missouri will give full college credit for some of our courses. This was carried out with the help of Springfield Teachers' College, whose faculty aided by giving periodical tests, to check on the work at various stages of progress. At the beginning of the course there was an enrollment of approximately 930 students in the various classes, and it is estimated that a large per cent of that number will complete the courses, which will last until the close of our second semester. This great interest shows the need for a junior college, which we hope eventually to have added to our school system. As the Joplimo goes to press preparations are being completed to send a number of students to Pittsburg in April to compete in the annual inter-state contests in academic subjects. For a number of years Joplin has had a large yearly representation in the music contests held at Pittsburg, and has won high honors in all events: but this is our first time to enter scholastic competition. All students entering these contests have fine grade records, and they are expected to make a fine showing for their school. Thirry-five 1 A . .,.. - f lv... ,-..

Much of its success has come as a result of the line work of its committees. One of the Hrst duties of the senior class was the selection of the rings and pins. The committee for this matter was composed of Floyd Cozad, chairman, Carolyn Summerton, and John McGehee. Next came the play, Berkeley Square. The faculty committee, composed of Miss Barnett, Miss Price, and Miss Gardner, was assisted by the student committee of Karl McReynolds, chairman, Norman Sharp, and Atalie Barnett. Next was the selection of the commencement announcements. This mat- ter was handled by the committee composed of John McGehee, chairman, Leulla Butterfield, Garrett Morrison, and Margaret Calbeck. As a part of the graduating exercises came the senior prom. This was ably managed by Bob Fowks and his committeemen, Rogler Elliott, DeJean Bell, and Bonadean Archer. The following members of the class made a grade average of ninety-five per cent or better for the three years: Jefferson Herb, Margaret Couraw, Maxine DeVaney, Karl McReynolds, Gwendolyn Bushner, Genevieve Duran, Marjorie Sayles, Imogene Frizzell, Claude Parker, and Frances Morris.

X In the frightful scenes that came with the War of 1812, David Farragut, a boy of eleven, bore himself like a man, running errands and helping the wounded. Once he was knocked down a hatch by the explosion of a cannon ball. Again a shot tore away one of his coat tails, but the boy stuck to his post and was deeply hurt when it was found that they would have to surrender. The next day he was taken prisoner on the British Phoebe. He was almost in tears because of the capture of the Essex, but he was roused from grief by the sight of an English middy calmly appropriating his beloved pet pig, Murphy. That's my pig! he shrieked, seizing Murphy's ear. 'Fight for it then! jeered the others. Whereupon David stripped off his jacket and pitched into the young Englishman with such excellent results that in a few moments he had most soundly and satisfactorily trounced him. He then took Master Murphy under his arm and Walked off, feeling that he had thus in some degree wiped out the disgrace of the American defeat.

MOTTO To be, not to seem The juniors, a group of leaders, hold offices in practically all organiza- tions of the school. They have been very prominent in all music events. Francis Tucker, Everett Bryson, and Lois Winter sang important parts in the opera, The Mikado, While many other juniors were in the choruses. The glee clubs, the band, and the orchestra-all have many junior members. Several juniors belong to dance orchestras. The junior play, i'The Amazons, produced before a very enthusiastic audience on December 8, was unusually successful. Many juniors have worked on the staffs of both the Spyglass and the Joplimo, and are trained to hold the major offices on those publications next year. In the oratorical contest Charles Lyden, Charles Shafer, Maxine Elsner, and Jean Roth reached the linals. Many fine selections were submitted by juniors in all the literary contests. In R. O. T. C. and in athletics the class is outstanding. Fifty-six Anderson Ball Blair Blankcnship Boyd Bracclwl Bri? XX' I1 Burriss. H.

MOTTO Onward and upward The sophomore class, by far the largest of the three classes, came to Senior High with a great store of high spirits, and their enthusiasm has helped to keep the entire student body optimistic. A large number of the names of the class appear on the honor rolls regularly. Practically all activities of the school have been helped by the addi- tion of the sophomores. Quite a number have worked on the Spyglass, many have demonstrated their ability in athletics, and many have entered the spring debate tournament. All of the music organizations have received welcome members from this class, While one of their number, Dorothy Duvenick, sang a leading role in the opera. The Mikado. A number of sophomores have entered the spring music contests, and it is quite probable that they will win part of the honors. Fifty-nin , if vi . , L ' 4,- ' , 'ft e 1 Q . Q 3 2 4 li .m -p !

However, if he takes the latter course, as, of necessity most young men do, he is Hrst given strict examinations to test his physical fitness for naval service. He may choose whichever branch of naval service he prefers. A preparatory training school of several weeks' duration is provided, at which he learns the rudiments necessary for him to start his work. After he has been in service a while, he may secure permission to attend specially provided schools, to extend his knowledge along the naval subjects of his choice. If he makes the expected advancement in his studies, he is, in time, due for promotion. Regularly established schools of a few weeks', or months' duration, taught by the most efficient instructors, are a part of the regular equipment of the navy. From the very beginning of service the young man is paid a salary. small at first to be sure, but sufficient for his needs, since the government provides practically every thing necessary, including expert hospital service. In contrast to these provisions for men entering naval service today were the requirements for boys in the past who wanted to be sailors, and simply went to sea. Much advice was given as to what boys should do in prepara- tion, and the following is a list of recommended articles that one should take with him when going to sea: A strongly made chest, of three-quarter inch pine, dove-tailed throughout, and without any iron about it, the lid and bottom very carefully fitted, should first be procured-such a chest as a working carpenter would be willing to make for one pound, but would cost at least double in a shop. It should have a small mirror fitted inside the lid, but removable, and also a tray dividing it into upper and lower compartments. Above all, it should be perfectly water- tight when closed. It should be painted black, with brass drop-handles, and inch rising-pieces on the bottom. Two suits of uniform clothing: one of fine blue cloth, the other of good blue serge. Three thick and three thin vests. Three thick and three thin pairs of pants. Four pairs of blue-jean overalls Cdungareej. Six white French pique shirts for shore wear, with collars and ties. Three woolen and three cotton shirts Cnot necessarily new, but such as the boy has been wearing at home or at schoolj. Three pairs of heavy and three pairs of light socks. One pair of shore- going boots. Two pairs of canvas shoes of the very best quality. Two pairs of working boots without any iron in their soles. One pair of sea-boots reaching to the knee, with either sewn or pegged soles: preferably the latter. Several caps Cold golf or cricketing caps are just the thingj. A stout, wide-brimmed straw hat for harbor use, or in the country. Sixzyalwo Two pairs of suspenders. A leather belt with a sheath attached for holding an open knife. CNote: The latter should never be worn tightly for the purpose of keeping the trousers up. Such a practice is a most frequent cause of rupturel. One dozen colored cotton pocket-handkerchiefs. One pair of woolen mittens without finger-spaces. One complete suit of good oilskins. One pilot coat. A horsehair mattress, cot size. A full-sized feather pillow, with three stout slips. Three colored cot-blankets. Three coarse towels. Three bars of yellow soap. A small clothes-brush, a tooth-brush, a hair-brush, and two combs. A box of dubbin, also blacking, and a pair of very small shoefbrushes. One dozen boxes of safety matches. A housewife, well supplied with needles and thread Cnot cottonl. mend- ing-wool, scissors, and tweezers. One plate, one basin, one quart pot, and one pint cup-all of block tin. Knife, fork and spoon. . REPAIRINC1 WRECKED SHIPS Today when a ship is wrecked, its career is not ended, as was the case in the old days. Efforts are made now to repair wrecked vessels so that they seem not to have been damaged. In March, 1907, the Suevic was wrecked on Lizard Point, Cornwall, and could not float off. Divers cut away the broken part near the middle, and guns were fired to free the ship of the shattered bow. Powerful steam tugs towed the remaining part l70 miles to Southampton where it was taken into dock. The new bow was built at Belfast, brought to Southampton, and joined to the other part. When the work was finished no one would have realized that the Suevic was not a new ship. AIR SAILING It was some time after the invention of aircraft that the government per- ceived the need of some specific regulation for air commerce, just as there was regulation for ocean sailing. Two plans for the control of air sailing were submitted. The first plan provided a Department of Aviation, with the secretary in the President's Cabinet, while the second placed the control in the Departments of War and Commerce. Since neither plan was entirely satis- factory, a compromise was worked out, and this was passed in 1926 as the Air Commerce Act. This act provided for assistant secretaries in the Navy, War, and Com- merce Departments whose business it was to take charge of air travel. The reason given for placing it here was that air and ocean sailing would need practically the same rules. However, separate provisions are made for the registration and examination of aircraft.

Bullock, The Joplin High School orchestra. under the able leadership of Mr. Coulter, has always been one of the finest orchestras in the state, annually winning high honors in the district, state, and national contests. Mr. Coulter. who came to Joplin high school as music director in 1917. has done much to improve and promote the music in the Joplin schools and has succeeded in building up a music department that is unexcelled anywhere, His senior high orchestra, particularly, has been the envy of all other schools in the district for years. lts fame has gained prestige and fine publicity for Joplin. The 1933 orchestra was especially fine and won even more noteworthy distinction than in former years. At the annual district contest in Pittsburg in the spring of 1933, the orchestra won first place and brought back a beau- tiful plaque. It was unnecessary to take the organization to Columbia for the state meet, for the orchestra was uncontested. It was sent, however, to the national tournament in June, 1933, at Elmhurst. Illinois, during the Cen- tury of Progress Exposition. It won, there, the highest honor given-Hrst honor rating. Only three orchestras in the entire United States gained this distinctive ranking. The orchestra, during its stay in Chicago, gave a concert in the court of the Hall of Science at the fair. Seuenrtf ORCHESTRA Cello-Harrison, Haynie. Hurlbut, V. Grandstaff, Martin, Maeder, Welch.

The high school orchestra of 1933-34 was the largest in the history of Joplin high school, numbering 130 members. This large and excellent organi- zation Was always ready to help in civic as well as in school activities, gladly contributing its services whenever needed. Music was provided for the South- west Missouri Teachers' meeting in October, for the Emerson School Parent- Teacher Association, for the junior and senior plays, and the Maskers Dramatic Society production, Oh, KayT On several occasions special numbers by the orchestra were enjoyed in the high school assemblies and small orchestras pro- vided special music for such assemblies as the Gavel and Quill, Maskers, and speech class, and for The Mikado. It has long been the custom of Mr. Coulter to present a fall music concert, a Christmas concert, and a spring concert. ln these annual concerts, the band, the orchestra, the two glee clubs, and often the boys' and girls' drum corps participate. In the 1933-34 concerts. the orchestra gave some beautiful and difficult numbers, displaying great feeling and artistic finish. A concert by the orchestra was broadcast by W. M. B. H. from the school auditorium after the triumphant return from Chicago, and was enthusiastically received by the radio audience of the entire district. Seventy-one BAND 4' is Sixth Row-J.

To see it swing- ing down the street in true military style and playing some stirring march gives the spectator an unforgettable thrill. With Mr. Coulter as director, Rogler Elliott as drum major, and Jack Manning and Karl McReynolds as captains, the band is excellently trained and managed. This splendid band, of which we are so inordinately proud, is always ready to help out in school and civic activities. In 1933-34 it played at almost every school assembly and marched in every football parade. It played at all the football and basketball games in Joplin and most of the out-of-town games. It provided music for the Southwest Missouri State Teachers' meeting in October, 1933, for the fall window display, for the Neosho Harvest Show, for the horse show sponsored by the Joplin Junior Chamber of Commerce, and for the Santa Claus parade. On Armistice Day the band marched in the parade, and later furnished special music for the American Legion Armistice show at the Fox Theater. In the spring of 1934 the band played for the spring opening sponsored by Joplin merchants, and for the annual Lions Club Easter egg hunt at Schifferdecker Park.

The Joplin high school military band has always won high honors in the state and district contests. ln May, 1933, at the district contest held in Pittsburg each spring, it wonisecond place and brought back a beautiful plaque to add to other trophies won in former years. The band was not sent to Columbia in 1933, for there was no competition. In former years, however, it has always won first or second place in the entire state at the Columbia com- petition. In the annual military inspection held in the spring, the band has always ranked very high. In the 1933 inspection on May 9, the Corps Area Com- mander in charge of the inspection at Joplin especially commended to the Secretary of War in Washington, D, C., the work of the Joplin R. O. T. C. and its splendid band. On January 8, 1933, the band broadcast a concert from the Empire Dis- trict Company ballroom over Joplin's radio station, W. M. B. H. This broadcast was very well received by the radio audience of the Joplin district, and many compliments and congratulations were sent in. Another concert was presented over the air in the spring, and it was also greatly enjoyed by listeners-in over the entire district.

The girls' drum corps of Joplin High Scliool, founded in 1925 by Mr. Coulter, is one of the most popular organizations in the school. This splendidly trained group of thirty-one girls gained fame throughout the entire state. In 1933-34 it was very active in school as Well as civic affairs. It marched in every football parade and performed between halves at each game, presenting, with the boys' corps and the military band, an impressive spectacle which never failed to thrill the crowd. It marched in the American Legion Armistice Day parade, the Chevrolet and Santa Claus parades and took part in the stirring pep assembly held before the Carthage game. On the invitation of the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, the corps went to the American Royal Horse Show where it put on a colorful performance with other Missouri drum corps. In the spring of 1934 it marched at the annual Lions Club Easter egg hunt held at Schifferdecker Park. Three more girls were added to the unit in 1934 to play two new bugle- lyras and to carry a new standard. The bugle-lyras and the new standard were gifts from a Joplin business man. Several social events were held by the girls of the drum corps, the most interesting being a surprise party held for Mr. Coulter on his birthday, October 13, 1933.

The boys' drum and bugle corps was formed in 1930 by Mr. Coulter. Although it is just in its third year, it has gained great popularity and has con- tributed a great deal of service both to Joplin high school and to the com- munity, Under the direction of Mr. Coulter, Drum-major Norman Sharp, and Commander Jack Bond, it has developed into a well-trained, snappy unit of which Joplin high school is very proud. It marched in the Armistice Day parade for the American Legion, for all the home football parades, and for the fall and spring opening parades sponsored by Joplin merchants. With the girls' drum corps it presented colorful marching exhibitions at the home football games and at the Baxter Springs game. It,took part in a pep assembly given before the Carthage-Joplin game. In November the corps was invited, with the girls' drum corps, to attend the Ameican Royal Horse Show at Kansas City. lt marched at an afternoon performance of the show along with the drum corps from Wentworth Military Academy, Country Day School of Kansas City, William Woods College, and other schools. On December 16, the drum corps had a party with the girls' corps at Mr. Barnett's shop. Moving pictures of the two corps in action at the various football games and in parades were shown. A social hour was spent after the picture show. , Svurnly-five l gvofbucfff A 2 l l RL GLEE CLUB I. 5 - , , f v ,Ve 4 W K A 5:5 . ENE ,Qj-w5,..i X 5,1 .

The girls' glee club of Joplin high school has always ranked high in the district. It was active this year, singing for many school and city enter- tainments. The girls' glee club, with the boys' club and a picked orchestra of twenty- five members, put on, under the direction of Mr. Coulter, the comic opera, The Mikado. The following people were chosen for solo parts: The Mikado of Japan, Rogler Elliott: Nanki-Pooh fhis son, disguised as a Wander- ing niinstrel, and in love with Yum Yumj, Francis Tucker: KoKo CLord High Executioner of Titipuj, Norman Sharp: Pooh Bah CLord High Every-thing Elsej, Everett Bryson: Pish Tush Ca noble lordj, John Hendryg Yum Yum, Pitti Sing, Peep-Bo fthree sisters, wards of KOKOD, Dorothy Duvenick, Emma Louise Holtzclaw, and Lois Winter, respectivelyg Katisha fan elderly court lady who is in love with Nanki-Poohj, Nadiene Boreing. The chorus was made up of members of the boys' and girls' glee clubs, who took the parts of school girls, nobles, guards, and coolies. The sets for The Mikado were designed and painted by the art club, under the supervision of Miss Robinson. Students of the sewing classes, under the supervision of Miss Reed, and assisted by Miss Price, designed and made the beautiful oriental costumes. .

The boys' glee club is another musical organization of which Joplin high school is quite proud. This well-trained group of boys made a fine record last spring, taking first place at the Pittsburg contests and demonstrating its talent in the annual spring contest. lt was fully prepared to enter the state tournament at Columbia, but there was no competition against it. The club helped out greatly in 1933-34 in school and civic entertain- ments. In the annual fall, Christmas, and spring concerts presented by the music department, it presented some beautiful numbers. It also sang at the municipal Christmas sing held during Christmas week at the Frisco depot. At several assemblies the groups provided special musical numbers which were greatly enjoyed by the student body. At a musical performance given in Baxter Springs by the musical organizations of Joplin High School. the glee club sang several fine selections. The glee club had several social affairs during the year, usually with the girls' club. One of the most enjoyable parties was a chili and pie supper held at the First Presbyterian Church on January ll, l934. A picnic was held, with the other musical organizations. at the home of Mr. Coulter on November 10. 1933. Seventy-seven GLTHE MIKADO l The Mikado. a comic opera by Gilbert and Sullivan. was presented by the music department on March 2 and March 5, under the direction of Mr. Coulter. The lilting music and the refreshing satire of the famous opera were ably interpreted by the large cast. Well-chosen principals, two full- voiced choruses and a perfect orchestral accompaniment combined to make the pro- duction a success. Two settings in the modern stage tradition provided an ap- propriate and artistic background for the t colorfully attired singers. Outstanding were the singing and line acting of Francis Tucker in the role of the Mikado's son and the polished comedy of Norman Sharp as Ko-Ko. Lord High Executioner. The latter dominated the second act and several of his skits were uproariously funny, particularly the ridiculous caperings which accompanied the song. The Flowers that Bloom in the Spring. Tucker sang well and made the role of the young lover an appealing one. Dorothy Duvenick was an attractive Yum-Yum and scored a hit with her solo, the Moon Song. As Lord High Everything Else, Everett Bryson was the pompous counter- part of a strutting politician. He brought out the full significance of his richly satirical role. An important part was contributed by John Hendry, who sang the role of Pish Tush very well. Nadiene Boreing carried the heavy part of Katisha with a line admixture of grief and vanity. Rogler Elliott was an impressive Mikado and contributed, as did Miss Boreing. an important vocal role. As sisters of Yum-Yum, Lois Winter and Emma Louise Holtzclaw sang supporting roles well. W .-c,..s.. .. 'Zvi V, .i I Seventy-eight THE TITANIC So far shalt thou go, and no further! At the time the Titanic was built there were many wise persons who agreed that it was an extremely foolish thing to do. She was so huge that she would break in the middle if she tried to run two waves at once. The Lusi- tania and Mauretania seemed mere cockboats in comparison. Her builders hoped to make her the speediest boat afloat, but were more interested in her magnificence and completeness than in the speed. This was to be the best boat of all. She would have all the modern conveniences. A palace on the waves? No, for it was almost a small city sailing. There were acres of deck to be scrubbed every morning, acres of steel plating to be painted, thousands of tons of coal to be used for a voyage, tons of food to feed the passengers: in fact, everything would be of gigantic proportions. But on the builders went in spite of jeers. By the plans it was proved that the ship could not be sunk: that no sea hazards would annoy her. A ship within a ship, it seemed, so that even a collision would not cause difficulties. Even the fact that she carried only twenty life-boats was overlooked. Was she not unsinkable? So, in April, 1912, the Titanic set sail with a passenger list comparable to the Social Register. Her sailing was like any great event: every man and his brother wanted to be there. So great was her backwash that she nearly had two collisions before she reached the open sea, and pessimists immediately said she would be done for on the charm of the third time. Sunday was a glorious day, but the chill in the air meant something. Messages received told of an ice floe's being in a position dangerous to the welfare of the Titanic. Soon came the night, and at precisely midnight there was a very slight jar throughout the ship. To the passengers, it meant nothing: to the sailors, everything. Most of the life-saving preparations-scant because of the lack of life-boats-were made before the people were fully aware of the danger. Then the steerage broke loose and had to be kept back with threat of death by the captain's pistol. The women and children went first, but even some of them desired to remain with their husbands and fathers. Gradually the ship was sinking, but her SOS messages had been heard, and the Carpathia got 18 knots and more from a 15-knot engine in order to get to the aid of the Titanic's passengers and crew. When it arrived, an hour after the Titanic sank, it was found that 1,503 persons had perished and 705 had lived. Un- necessary, all of it, because of an insufficient number of life-boats to carry all persons. Immediately the ruling was made that no ship might leave port unless there were a wide margin of safety in the matter of boats. This was a beneficial result of the sinking of the Titanic. Suvcnty-n JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The Amazons, a clever comedy in three acts by Arthur W. Pinero, was given on December 7, 1933, by the Junior class in the high school auditorium. It was produced under the able direction of Miss Wynett Barnett and was a great success. The story centered around Lady Cas- tlejordan and her three daughters. Lady Castlejordan, bitterly disappointed because she had no sons, had reared her three daughters as if they were boys. They had been taught all the manly sports and had never been allowed to regard themselves as other than Lord Noel, A'Lord Billy, and Lord Tommy. During the month before the play started, the three girls had been visiting in the homes of friends and had met three Hne young men. When the production opened these three gentlemen had come to Overcote Hall, the Castlejordan estate. in the hope of furthering their acquaintance. The action of the play centered around the wooing of the boys, and was most amusing and entertaining, Rebecca Fahrig. as Lady Castlejordan, displayed her good acting by the excellent interpretation of that difficult role. The parts of her three charming daughters were very well played by Edrie Olliver, Betty King, and Rose Marie Montaldo. Their suitors were portrayed by Kenneth Diehl, Hoyt Miles. and Henry Hamilton. The comedy team of Hoyt Miles and Kenneth Diehl was paramount in every act and their antics kept the audience in gales of laughter. Jack Bond, Robert Morgenthaler, Charles Lyden, Everett Bryson, and Mary Louise Hutchinson played extremely good parts and proved themselves very capable, talented actors. ? Eighty BITS O' NEWS ABOUT PLAYS The Senior Class presented Berk- eley Square by John Balderston on May 7 and 8. The play was a huge success in every way. The school calendar for 1933-34 was so exceedingly crowded that the senior play had to be late in the year. Accordingly. it was impossible to secure pictures in time for publication. The class had to its credit the production of a very successful junior play The Things that Count in 1933. An innovation was made in 1933- 34 in the production of three original plays written by Maxine DeVaney, Charles Shafer. and Margaret McAllister. Other plays were presented later in the spring. A series of one-act plays was broadcasted through station W. M. B. H. In any undertaking of importance there are many students who do valuable work behind the scenes. Committee members, who do the necessary work of reading plays, getting props, selling tickets, building scenery, etc., contribute materially to the final success. The stage crew has served long hours at the annoying tasks of setting up scenery and taking it down, building stage equip- ment and running errands. These students do not always receive the applause of the audience and to them we wish to give the honor due. The large picture at the bottom of the page shows all those students who helped so materially in 1933-34 to make the dramatic productions so successful.

It was necessary to hold two rounds of contests in order to determine the four members which should comprise our State Debate team. ln the Hrst round there were three contests, at the close of which the lower half in each group were eliminated. ln the second round there were placed those who had ranked in the upper halves of the other three contests. For the final contest Mr. Blaine, Mr, Greer, Miss Reed, and Miss Moran served as judges. Their selection was Maxine DeVaney, Marjorie Birks, Rogler Elliott and Robert Fowks. They have had a sustained interest throughout the debating year, adding one winning to another as the term advanced. In the Nevada tournament held on January 12, I934, not one dissenting vote was cast for them. The judges selected by Professor C. D. Ciunn, of Nevada, were Professor E. C. Beuhler and Mrs. Beuhler, of the University of Kansas, and James Maddy and Joseph Addie of the University of Kansas debating squad. There followed for them, on February l, a unanimous decision over their old-time rival. Springlield. Then came the honor of winning over Cass- ville, making them eligible for the final contest in the district, a debate against Waubleau, held on March 16, at the Springfield Teachers' College. Though they won two debates at Pittsburg, ten at Coffeyville, and one each from Webb City, Nevada, Carthage, Monett, Springfield, and Cassville, that decision which is most desired is yet to be determined-the winning of the State Championship. lfiylilyfl THE ALTERNATE TEAM I Outstanding Tournaments yet to be participated in are the Missouri National Forensic League Tournament at Marshall, Missouri and the West- minister and the William Woods Tournament at Fulton, Missouri, in all of which the State question Will be used: Resolved, That the United States should adopt the essential features of the British Broadcasting operation and control. COLE CRAIG TITUS SEILER Maxine DeVaney, Marjorie Birks. Rogler Elliott, and Bobby Fowks hold degrees of distinction in the National Forensic league. THE ALTERNATE TEAM At the same time the State League Debating team was selected, there was chosen another team, an alternate team composed of Rex Titus, Richard Craig, Allan Seiler, and Dick Cole. There was no occasion on which this team needed to substitute for the State team, but the opportunities have been many through which the boys have merited exceeding honor for themselves. They were in the semi-final round in the Pittsburg Debate tournament held November 10 and l l, and won eight debates in the Colleyville tournament. held December 8 and 9. Participation in tournaments yet to be this term will further add achieve- ment to their already fine record. All four of the team-Rex Titus, Richrad Craig, Allan Seiler, and Dick Cole-hold Degrees of Distinction in the National Forensic League. They will attend the Fourth Missouri N. F. L. Convention and Tournament to be held there March 9 and 10, 1934. Among the teams over Whom they Won in those tournaments were Pitts- burg, Chanute, Coffeyville, Elk Falles, Picher, Independence, and Miami. Eighly-three SPRING DEBATING GROUP .Sully Rott'+M.

Eiyhfy-si'.x' Egby THE BATTLEFIELD There is a lonely battlefield Within each person's heart, Hidden, and so far from sight That others do not know the smallest part Of all the wars fought on that plain- Lost dreams, the wreck, the tearing pain, The bitter, stinging, acrid woe When a man knows himself to be his foe And knows that on the dark, Secluded place, within himself He there must strugle, then must know To which side the victory shall go. These wars are fought in silence, And the wounds but slowly heal- The clash is always muffled: The old scars tender feel. The anguished cry must die Behind firm lips, And they must try To bear a smile. All this, alone, For each man for himself must choose Which side of him shall win or lose. -Genevieve Duran, '34. RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING CORPS FINLIEY c.REENwi21.1. MILLER SCHRIZIWIEIS THE COLORS Second Lieutenant Guy Greenwell. Second Lieutenant Harland Miller. Staff Sergeant Ray Finley. Sergeant Otto Schreiweis. Each unit of the United States has two flags, one called the national colors, the other the regimental colors. The regimental colors has in the center the shield of the United States. The color of the regimental colors depends upon the branch of service: for example, the color for the infantry is blue, for the cavalry, yellow and for the artillery. red. No courtesy is rendered these flags when they are cased, but when uncased, the utmost respect and courtesy is rendered them. Only two regiments in our army have ever lost the colors. During the war of 1812 the British captured the colors of a volunteer regiment near De- troit. At the battle of Little Big Horn River, during the Indian wars, the seventh United States cavalry lost its colors. This was at the time that the Sioux Indians, under Sitting Bull, annihilated Custer's command. Eighly-vigil , RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING CORPS Buck Row-Miller. Greenwell, Routledge. Noland. Manning.

A new feature of the weekly Wednesday morning parade is that of rank- ing the platoons and the band by the staff and Lieut. Ellwood. At the end of the year the highest unit will receive a prize. Another feature introduced this year is the offering of a trophy to the best dressed cadet officer, and a saber to the best drilled cadet. These added inducements are doing much to improve the efficiency of the corps. At the annual inspection last spring our corps was again designated an honor unit, the most coveted honor of the year. lfighry-ni DIAMOND AND DISC Ifrflh Row-Bormaster. Burnett. liowks. Barnett.

Any commissioned officer is eligible for membership in this club. The purpose of the group is to promote a friendly spirit among the officers of the unit and to gain a more thorough knowledge of military tactics. Meetings are held every two weeks after school. Several social functions were held by the organization in 1933-34. The most outstanding social event of the year was the Military Ball given on Feb- ruary 23, in the high school gymnasium. lt was the very Hrst affair of the sort in the history of the school and was a decided success. Though the Dia- mond and Disc sponsored the dance, all members of the R. O. T. C. unit were permitted to attend with their dates. The ball was formal and the girls in their colorful party frocks and and the boys in their full dress uniforms made a very attractive picture. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated. and favors and refreshments were in keeping with the military atmosphere. The faculty, Superintendent and Mrs. Elliott, and the school board members and their wives were special guests at the party. Calendar of Events: House Party, December ll, 1933.

On August 21, Mr. Francis Huff, our new coach from Missouri Valley, called the first workout for the l933 season. Fifty candidates reported. The first three teams were given new uniforms. One week before the first game, Coach Huff's health forced him to resign. He was succeeded by Mr. W. N. Collins of Missouri University. With Coach Collins carrying on the work started by Mr. Huff, Joplin High won the Southwest Missouri championship. Joplin won the opening game, played at home, from Monett, 12-O, although six other good scoring chances were missed. Monett's gains were by passing and kicking, while Joplin's gains were by scrimmage. At Baxter we chalked up another victory, 40-7. The Joplin reserves scored two touchdowns in the fourth period. We took our first loss at the hands of Miami, there. It was the first and only game played by Joplin under lights. Miami had a weight advantage in both line and backiield.

Lamar started with their reserves, allowing Joplin to score 14 points in the first five minutes of lay. At Nevada Joplin took a thirty-six yard run for a touchdown in the first two minutes of play, and won 19-7. This was the second time we had been scored upon. The next Week at home on Armistice Day we defeated Carthage, a rival of long standing, 19-O, and the following week we met Neosho here for a 7-2 victory. Neosho had the strongest team in years. The semi-final game, at Pittsburg, was the best game in years. Although we lost to the S. E. Kansas champions, we were only five yards from the line when the whistle blew. On Thanksgiving Day, at home, we defeated our keenest rival, Springfield, for our first victory in three years, 14-0. Many J men of past seasons were honor guests at the game.

' The Joplin team this year has been handicapped by lack of height, but has put up a game fight, and is coming through with a fairly good record ing spite of the handicap. So far Joplin has won but two of its scheduled games, but as the season draws to a finish, the outlook has brightened. In the Seneca tournament Joplin went to the finals, and was defeated by only one point, the score being 13 to 14. In the Neosho tournament we reached the semi-finals. In the Webb City tournament, which is now in progress, both A and B teams have won the right to play in the final games. The outlook is good for Joplin to win the tournament. The alumni game, in which Joplin regulars will play the old grads for a benent game, is scheduled for the near future and all indications are that we shall chalk up a victory. 1 PARADE DRUM CORPS One Hundred u:-xzr-manz4g1:wMfa df-fl:L-aa.1.'agrffs'-S -'A'-+ 'f1K2NL'rWV'm:':fI'l-nf 1- ia 'af5i:e:fn--'H H it-1 2.4 if -L-'if ' iarrffvi '1 f1'f'ff' V 1 i 7 - .JN xi Q an 'E X Qflgg- 1- Us N5 1 1 Third Row-Pack, Haggard, O.

The B team has won eight of its twelve games, and has made a fine showing in all the tournaments. The majority of these boys are sophomores. This is due to the fact that the three junior high schools have been doing some fine work in athletics, and this last year sent us quite a number of boys who show great promise.

Work on our new stadium is nearing completion, and a large invitation meet is being planned for the opening. Several meets are being worked into the schedule, with dual meets with Lamar, Carthage, Riverton, Carterville, and Pierce City. We are also con- sidering attending the tournament at Springfield, and the state meet at Colum- bia, as well as the Arkansas state meet. Last spring's team won two triangular meets, and one dual meet, and lost one dual meet. Joplin also attended a large invitation tournament at Miami, Oklahoma, and won second in the 100-yard dash, third in 220-yard dash, third in the pole vault, fourth and lith in the 440-yard event, and lifth in the mile and half-mile runs. There are five returning lettermen from last year. They will make their showings in the following events: James Mitts, 100-yard and 220-yard dashes, high jump, and relays: Woody Barnett, pole vault: Alfred Jacobs, hurdles: Max Bradlield, half-mile, and John Gierster, dashes. We shall lose two of these, Mitts and Gierster, by graduation. Many of the athletes developed by Joplin High have made quite enviable records on various city teams during the past year. These are alumni, and have played on independent teams organized by the companies for which the boys work. One Hundred Two LETTERMEN BRADFIELD, BURRIS, JACOBS, MITTS, HAMILTON.

In conjunction with the inter-class basketball tournament was the basket- ball queen contest. The candidates from each class were: DeJean Bell. senior: Neville Layton, junior: and Virginia Lee Ritchey, sophomore. The games were played after school in the afternoon, and an admission charge of five cents was made. Each paid admission entitled the holder to one vote for his candidate. The proceeds were added to the stadium fund. The senior candidate, DeJean Bell, was the basketball queen. INTER-SOCIETY SPORTS Inter-society football opened this year with the G. Q.'s beating the Athenaeums, and the L. C. F.'s, the Herculeans. ' The football captains of each society drew up a round-robin schedule, but due to the fact that several boys were injured because of the lack of proper equipment, all games were canceled. The L. C. F.'s and the G. Q.'s were finally permitted to play off the tie for the championship. The game was won by the L. C. P.'s by a score of 38 to 0. Rauch, Manning, and Burnett were the L. C. F. stars. The L. C. F.'s kept the fighting spirit of their football team by going through an undefeated basketball season. The teams had a double round-robin schedule, with the games being played in the gynasium on Saturday mornings. Under the guidance of Captain Campbell, the L. C. F.'s Won the inter-society basketball championship. The season ended with the Herculeans iinishing second, the G. Q.'s third, the Hi-Y fourth, and the Athenaeums fifth. The girls' gymnasium classes, under the capable direction of Miss Krieck' haus, are planning an inter-class baseball tournament.

It is made up of thirty-two members, each member being a representative of his home- room. These representatives must have an average grade of at least M. The president and secretary of this organization are elected by the student body at the beginning of each fall semester. The president must be a member of the senior class. He is nominated by the faculty and then elected by the student body. The secretary is also elected by the student body. Both of these officers must be of high scholastic standing. The other officers are selected by the members of the council from the council itself. Meetings are held each Monday morning at the activity hour. The Student Council acts as an advisory body for the students. It makes regulations for classes, activities. students, assemblies, and organizations. Before any regulations passed by the governing body become official they must be approved by the principal. Miss Colvin and Mr. Greer are the sponsors of the student council. Much of the success of the council in 1933-1934 was due to the splendid leadership, co-operation, and untiring efforts of these two efficient sponsors. They gladly gave their time and ensusiastic support to the organization. On April 24, l934, the student council had its first spring banquet. The banquet, held in the beautifully decorated school cafeteria, was chaperoned by the sponsors. Mr. and Mrs. Blaine. and Mr. and Mrs. Elliott. Dancing was enjoyed later in the gynasium, the music being furnished by a high school orchestra. All students who had served as members of the council during l9'S3-'54, as well as all students who substituted for representatives during the year were allowed to attend the party. Bob Fowks was general chairman for the affair, which was voted a great success. One Hundred Ten ,U STUDENT COUNCIL Third Row-Robbins, Ochsenbein, Watson, P. Jones, Diehl, Haggard, F.

Both faculty and student body thought the organization a very efficient, active one. The council was responsible for the Junge Field stadium drive which made possible all student contributions toward this worthy cause. Other organiza- tions, encouraged by the council, also raised money for the stadium fund. The council also sponsored the first all-school party. This party, a very nice affair, was given in the high school gymnasium at the end of the football SQZISOH. A committee was appointed to meet with Mr. Blaine to take charge of the assemblies. The council itself gave an interesting assembly March 23. This program has as the general theme Improvement of our School Library. Through the council, the high school was beautifully decorated and lighted during Christmas week. The Lost and Found Bureau was again maintained by the council in l933-34 and a student 'phone was put in on the first floor. The play, entitled A Tea Party in Booklandf' was written by Dick Cole and Ann Moskovitz, and was directed by Luella Butterlield and Carolyn Summerton. The plot of the play centered around little Alice who had a won- derful dream. It seemed that she was in Bookland and was giving a party for her book friends. They all attended-Tom Sawyer, Topsy and Eva, Rip Van Winkle, Julius Caesar, Brutus, Madame Defarge, Mrs. Malaprop, Silas Marner, Sherlock Holmes, Allan Bane, Joan of Arc, and Ann of Green Gables. The play was very clever and instructive. One Hundred Eleven NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Fifth Row-Cole, Fleischaker, Duncan, McGehee, Greenwell, Barnett, Burnett, H. Miller, Fo rth R -B fi ld .

The National Honor Society is composed of fifteen percent of the entire graduating class and is selected from all students of the class ranking in scholar- ship among the upper twenty-five per cent throughout all four years. These students are also judged according to character, leadership, and service. No honor conferred by the school excels that represented by this society. The emblem of this society is the keystone and flaming torch. As the keystone is placed by the builder to hold the perfect arch in perpetual stability, so the structure of our education must be held firm and true to the purposes of life by the virtues of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. The fiaming torch is the emblem of their purpose. To bear forward the searching light of truth, to lead that others may follow in the light, to keep burning in our school a high ambition for the enduring values of life, and to serve-these purposes are symbolized in the torch.

The chief purposes of the organization are to train students for useful citizenship, to emphasize individual responsibility and to give each member a chance to express himself. Programs in 1933-34 were usually relative to contest work and were in the nature of extempore speaking. A program of a different nature, however, was given in the auditorium on December 15, under the auspices of Chapter 458. Professor T. M. Baird, of the University of Oklahoma, delivered an address which was filled with information of educational value. Members of the local chapter of the National Forensic League participated in invitation tournaments held in Pittsburg and Coifeyville, Kansas, and Nevada, Marshall, and Fulton, Missouri. The state team composed of Mar- jorie Birks, Maxine DeVaney, Rogler Elliott, and Robert Fowks, won the tournament held in Nevada. Missouri. It later won over Springfield, the win- ner of another group, thus remaining in competition for state championship.

Debating and oratory have always been the prin- cipal activities of the society. Each year many of the members have won honors in the state and inter-society tournaments.

Any student of the Joplin High School who does not already belong to any other literary society of the school, who is known to be honest and of a clean character, who is unselfish and able to co-operate, may become by election a pledge to this society. The Athenaeums took very active parts in school activities in 1933-34, lending their support and loyal co-operation whenever possible. They had in their membership several R. O. T. C. officers as well as members of the Spy- Spyglass and Joplimo staifs. They were well represented in the spring debate tournament, and in the musical organizations of the school.

To become a member one must first be picked for try-out, successfully pass the try-out and then be chosen by the society. The society was proud in 1933-34 to announce the establishment of another chapter of the society in Baxter Springs, Kansas. It hopes to form a number of chapters eventually in the tri-state district. A On September 21. 1933, the Maskers gave a very clever, amusing play in assembly. It was a one-act production entitled, Taking Father's Place. and was very much enjoyed by the student body. It was considered one of the best assemblies given during the entire year. The most important Masker production was the three-act play, Oh, Kay! presented February 2, 1934. The proceeds were given to the .lunge Field fund. Calendar of Events: Try-outs, September 21, 1933. Oh, Kayl , February 2, 1934. Hallowe'en Party, October 30, 1933. Birthday Party, February 15. 1934.

KAY l Oh, Kayl , an interesting comedy-drama by Adam Applebud, staged and enacted under the direction of Mr. Roy Greer, was the choice of the Maskers Dramatic Society for their three-act presentation this year. The story is centered around a comparatively wealthy family. The grandmother has just inherited some valuable jewels, very highly prized, and the whole family is quite upset at the thought that the notorious Black Terror, an escaped criminal, may attempt robbery of their home. ln the end, the girl detective solves the mystery, catches the Black Terror, and saves the family jewels. Mrs. Whitman was played by Eleanor Kincaid, her husband was por- trayed by John lVlcGehee, and the two Whitman children, Art and Edith, were played by Joe Vincent and Emily Jane Buxton respectively. The girl detective was enacted by Mary Jane Hill. Gram and Gramp, the lovable old characters, were conceived through Atalie Barnett and Norman Sharp. The three Terrors who added much mystery were Dean Havens, Floyd Cozad, and Helen Ritchey. The real Black Terror, a clever and daring character, was played by John Gunn. The play was given for the benefit of the stadium fund and a large audience was present at the performance.

The officers for 1933-34 were: Landslide, Charles Barnett: Avalanche, Freeman Bullg Rolling Stone, Paul Berman: Boulder, Bill Phillips. The Radio Club was organized in 1933. Meetings were held every Monday evening after school. Social events were held in the respective homes. Several sunrise breakfasts were held when the members were entertained by broadcasts from such foreign countries as Australia, France, England, Germany, and Holland. Crystal sets were made in the manual training department. Officers of the club were: Betty Belle Carter, Ted Bormaster, Frances Morris. Jefferson Herb, and Dick Cole. Miss Moran and Mr. Henley were sponsors. The Art Club is a new club which meets at the regular activity hour, sketching, designing, cartooning, and further developing artistic talent. The club took a prominent place in the school. Its outstanding project was the task of building, designing, and painting the entire scenery for The Mikado. The club decorated and furnished its own studio at 26th and Wall. The officers were: Margie McQuirk, Galen Guinn, Opal Lovesee. Miss Robin- son is the sponsor. The Forum, a new society for boys, was organized in November, 1933, by Mr. Livingston. Its purpose is to stimulate purposeful thought and to help members to express their ideas on current affairs. Very interesting pro- grams were held and round-table discussions on vocations, politics, etc. Six members entered the spring debate tournament. Officers were: Jim Reasor, Rex Jeans, Clayton Wilkins, Lester Sims, Burl Jones, and Neal Johnson. The Archery Club is made up of a group of students who delight in the beauty and joy of this ancient, royal sport. During 1933-34, the members met every Sunday afternoon at Mr. Henley's home to improve their skill. They held archery meets with groups from Springfield, Miami, and other nearby towns. The club was composed of the following: Betty Ruth Wag- goner, Georgia Goodwin, Martha Emerson, John Boyd, Verne Grainger, and Albert Sullivan. ' o The Fencing Club is one of the most interesting clubs in the high school. It is sponsored by Mr. Henley, a skillful fencer who has had training under famous instructors in the East. During the past year the club met at the First Presbyterian Church every Tuesday night at 7:30 and the members practiced the ancient art of fencing. At the annual contest to select the best fencer, the competition was very keen, due to greater enthusiasm. John McNally was finally selected as best.

C H I II hirty Million N ew Citizens In our schools today are thirty million future housewives and business men, growing, developing. learning in an environment and under living standards of a quality never before known to humanity. One of the greatest factors contributing to present day standards of sanita- tion, safety, health, recreation. business and industrial development is ELEC- TRIC SERVICE. Perhaps these thirty million new citizens do not fully appreciate the signifi- cance of electric service because it always has been a part of their daily lives. But their parents and grandparents know what it has done for mankind- many older than the electric light and power industry itself. The parents and grandparents have seen the transition from the pre-electric age to the era of electrical living. They knew the coal oil lamp, the slow and wasteful methods of cooking, the inconvenient and often dangerous methods of storing foods, and all other inadequate and unpleasant facilities for executing their daily household tasks. Today they flood their homes with light at the snap of a switch: in growing numbers they are depending upon the electric range to cook their meals automatically: by millions they have turned to the electric refrigerator for safe and convenient food preservation: and in nearly every home where electricity is available, these parents and grandparents have long employed efficient household appliances to save time-save steps-save energy. You, the graduating class of 1934, know these conveniences in your parents' homes. You will want them in your own homes a few years hence. Nothing you can buy will bring you more in comfort and convenience-in saving of time and labor-and your electrical living will cost you as little as anything else you enjoy. In delivering this message to the graduates of 1934, The Empire District Electric Company welcomes the Opportunity to add its word of congratulation and sincerest wishes for success in the years ahead.

Anyone can live in a brick house when bricks are llOl dear. But the tempta- tion to cclet down temporarilyw under stress is a big one, though itis then that character is needed most. NBWIIIHIIUS has always believed that people stay loyal to those men and institutions who choose to remember in a crisis that protect- ing one's good name is a service to the com- munity-a responsibility that must not be taken lightly. The result has been that our roster of patrons changes only for reasons with which we have no voice. We hope our experience may be of worth to the laudable class of 1934. Best wishes to you all.
