FRANK COULTER Director of Music Three times, in as many years, Joplin has sent her orchestra into national competition with the finest school orchestras in the United States. In each case distinctive honors have been won. In 1933, the National Contest was held at Elmhurst, Ill., a suburb of Chicago, in connection with the Century of Progress Exposition. On this occasion the Joplin Orchestra won a First Rating, the highest possible honor. This feat was duplicated the following year, when the orchestra was sent to Ottawa, Kansas. Here was a larger contest, with many excellent school orchestras. Again a First Honor Rating came to Joplin. In 1935, the National was held at Madison, Wisconsin. This time facing a new demand of excellence and with over twice the number of entries ever gathered at a National before, our reward was a Second .Honor Rating. To those who watched the score board only, the Second Rating was a disappoint- ment. Those who heard the competition, however, agreed that the high standards of Joplin High School were maintained. Credit for these outstanding achievements should go to our accomplished director, Mr. T. Frank Coulter. if Q QW miifm ffwn Wm W W H W We Univeticafhvzguaye THEME Music .... by means of which one can convey to men ot all races, accurately and more powerfully than by words, the primary emotions, moods, and aspirations ot humanity. if C Q Dwgwm Harmony Points and Counter Points Vivace Ensembles --'A' e1'A-' 2 -1 -, '1e A-1 . ww..

Below is a typical session of the Board. From left to right: 'Mr. Herbert R. Wheeler, Member: Mr. Charles F. Wells, Vice-President: Mr. E. A. Elliott, Superintendent: Mr. S. A. Harris, President: Mrs. Etta B, Garlock, Secretary: Miss Fern Gray, Clerk: Mr. Cliff K. Titus, Member: Mr. Kelly E. Greenwell, Member. Thirteen Schoofs Out School Begins DIRECTGR of THE SYMPHCNY Mr. E. A. Elliott, our genial superintendent, came to us from Nevada, Missouri in the fall of 1930 to assume his present duties at the beginning of a trying period for Missouri's schools, During those lean years he saw to it that Joplin's schools were operated efficiently and that educational standards were kept high. There are two things that seem especially typical of our superintendent- one, his ready wit and keen sense of humor, and the other, his progressive spirit. He is not unmindful of the good in old practices-those that are worthwhile he retains. Neither is he a worshipper of all that is new. But he is constantly on the alert for new ideas which will mean progress in education or in com- munity life. Once convinced that an idea is worthwhile, he loses no time in putting it into practice if it is within his power to do so. Joplin's students feel that in Mr. Elliott they have a friend who not only understands their problems but who knows how best to solve them. THE MAESTRO , 0 0,6 For more than a score of years our principal, Mr. H. E. Blaine. has directed the affairs of Joplin High School. A big friendly man he is with a twinkle in his eye-the students like him as a friend genuinely interested in each of them, and respect him as a wise and competent educator. Nor does he live just in a world of books. He likes football, basket- ball, and track. And, when the time comes to roll his desk top down for the summer, he finds pleasure, as does many another philosopher, with rod and reel along likely looking streams. During the years that Mr. Blaine has been at Joplin High School, it has grown in enrollment from about seven hundred in four grades to more than twelve hundred in three. New courses and equipment have been added in keeping with the most progressive practice.. The school's success in extra curricular activities, as well as its high scholastic standing, has been due, in no small measure, to this principal of whom we are justly proud. 17 if teen Social Science English and Speech Commerce Science Events in today's rapidly moving political and social drama are indicative of the great need for citizens who have an adequate factual background and a proper perspective to enable them to think intelligently about the complex problems which confront society. The social science department realizes that the extent to which dif- ferent individuals will have an opportunity to participate effectively in attempting to solve today's social problems will vary greatly, as do their capacities, but it seems obvious that we must strive unceasingly toward the attainment of a higher level of social efficiency. To help achieve such an ideal is the chief objective of modern social studies. More and more do we feel that a knowledge of our language is necessary to social and business success: therefore, intensive drill is given the summer, he finds pleasure, as does many another philosopher, with ability are encouraged to enter contests. A number won honors this year. We also recognize that success in life calls for thought, inspiration, and idealism. The great masterpieces of literature furnish this material. Furthermore, we do not forget that our modern work day is becoming shorter and that our citizens of small means have more leisure, so we read for fun and for information. The Commercial Department offers a full three-year course designed to equip students to hold positions as skilled workers in the business world. All Commercial Students take the same course the first two years, but in the third year specialize in either accounting or stenography. Many serious minded students have received the training in this department which has secured for them positions in the commercial world, leading to successful careers. The department also accommodates a limited number of students who wish to take some one subject, such as typing, but who are not primarily commercial students. HAn educated person is one who has a well rounded knowledge of things as they are, some understanding of things as they were, and vision of things as they might be. Just how any modern man, can be well educated who has not the slightest acquaintance with the facts and concepts of science has never been explained. A speaking acquaintance with physics, chemistry and some phase of biology should be the minimum of science requirements within the curriculum. Joplin High School provides in its science courses not only such a broad general background but a more specialized training for students expecting to major in science fields.

Mr. Humphrey Miss Drummond Under the direction of Coach Collins, Joplin High School had a most successful year in athletics. The football team was one of the best in the school's history, the basketball team won second place at the State Tour- nament: and the girls had a very interesting and enjoyable year in sports. A large number of girls took part in the inter-society and inter-class sports. Through these games and athletic contests, the pupils developed those fundamental traits which have so much to do with success in life. The department hopes to create in the individual an intelligent and healthful interestxin physical activity that will carry over into adult life. The home economics department, which is composed of the divisions of domestic art and domestic science, places stress upon training for suc- cessful home-making. Not only are the desirable habits and skills of the home-maker developed, but also an acquaintance with the professional possibilities of home economics and the related arts. The budgeting of one's time and money, the care andtraining of children, the development of personality-all'these form a part of the course in this department whose aim is the development of well balanced individuals who are prepared for success in the world olf business or in woman's own sphere, the home. 'T The industrial arts department has as its major objective the train- ing of boys and girls in manual skills. While both the wood work and mechanical drawing are of much value in preparation for a vocation in the skilled crafts, the department places great emphasis upon the avoca- tional value of the workg and perhaps a major portion of the students enrolled take this course as preparation for satisfying and useful avocational occupations. The young wood worker is taught the proper use and care of tools and machinery, and develops gradually from the toothbrush-holder stage to the making of fine cabinet pieces. At least an elementary knowledge of mechanical drawing is invaluable to the amateur builder, cabinet maker, or designer. Few things give one a more genuine feeling of satisfaction than does the ability to do things with one's hands. And by the way, the husbands of this generation won't be the only handy 'Amen around the place. Girls are showing great enthusiasm in the department, and their work compares favorably with that of their brothers. The department of trade instruction prepares boys to enter the trades of carpentry and auto mechanics. Students electing these courses spend a half of their school day at the trade school during the three years of their high school career. They work, under supervision, on real production jobs-repairing cars, building garages, and doing the things that they will do in the practice of their chosen vocation. The instructors in this department are men who have practiced the trades which they teach. In other words, the department offers a practical vocational training by men who are themselves practical tradesmen as well as teachers. Nineteen Physical Education Home Economics Industrial Arts Trade I nstrucrion M l l Foreign Language M athematics Study Halls and Library M ilitary and M usic While foreign languages are much alike in general, each has special objectives and values. For instance, Latin is an invaluable guide to the understanding of word derivations-their meanings and pronunciationsg and it is very much worth while for those who plan to enter certain pro- fessions having technical vocabularies made up largely of Latin terms. A large part of the most valuable literature pertaining to certain professions is in French. And Spanish affords many opportunities in the modern commercial world. Which language or languages to take depends upon the intentions of the student. From an esthetic standpoint, the mastery of any language is a matter of satisfaction in itself, leading to new avenues of enjoyment. i'Why should I study mathematics? is a question with which the math,' teacher is quite familiar. The answer obviously lies in a little reflection about the world in which we live. Automobiles, sky scrapers, airplanes, giant bridges and dams, as well as every humble residence-these things are made possible only because man has learned to understand and to use mathematics, the mother science. The course in mathematics provides the foundation for those who will pursue advanced scientific or technical studies, and it makes possible to the others, an understanding of the how and why of much of the modern world. For all, it is perhaps the best training in truly scientific methods of thought- the Is-it-true, how-do-you-know, can-you-prove- it? attitude, which is so important for progress in any field. Mrs. Edna Clark and Mrs. Edna Chestnut as supervisors of the boys' and girls' study halls, respectively, contribute much to the discipline of the school and help to create an atmosphere in which good study work may be done in preparation of assignments. Miss Laura Decker has charge of our library, which, situated between the two study halls, is accessible to all students. Many new books of reference and standard Hction have been added to the library this year, increasing its usefulness and attractiveness. The military department provides instruction according to the pre- scribed course of the War Department for the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Young men completing the work of the department are not only better trained to serve their country if necessary, but they have had a most valuable training in discipline, good citizenship, and the build- ing of sturdy bodies. Joplin's R. O. T. C. unit has for many years been given an honsor rating by the United States War Department. The music department hopes to accomplish two objectives-to in- crease the student's capacity to appreciate Hne music, and to help him find and develop his own musical talents. Under the direction of Mr. Coulter, the department has been notably successful in attaining these goals. Twenty 1 Vx!!! ix- N9 Mr. Henning Miss Buckridge Mr. Jackle Miss Buck Miss Elliot!

G. Harrison MUSIC SPONSORS The Music Department of Joplin High School has been ably assisted during the past two years by an organization of parents known as the Joplin High School Music Sponsors. The membership is made up primarily of parents of music students, but is open to any who Wish to lend their support to the various projects of the organizations. Material assistance has been given by furnishing transporta- tion when needed, selling tickets to concerts and entertainments, lending moral support and encouragement to students, and promoting various projects for the benefit of the department. The Sponsors took a most active part in the planning of the annual Keenerino this year. They pledged a full house for the Amateur Show and Minstrel, and fulfilled the pledge to the letter, for every seat in the house was occupied. The officers for the current year are: Mr. Sherman Smith, President. Mr. D. G. Harrison, Vice-President. Mrs. C. R. Wilcox, Secretary. Mrs. Fern Bloomer, Treasurer.

After three memorable years of alternate study and play, we are ending our happy days at Joplin High. Our teachers we'll forgive fand not forgetlj for giving us many a surprise test when least welcome, for not allowing us to sleep when a lesson was very uninteresting, for not letting us talk in study hall when there was something most important to say, and above all, for their occasional inability to recognize the real merit of our recitations and test papers. As usual, the seniors head the list in oratory, debate, dramatics and music, as well as in scholarship. The students holding the twenty highest scholastic ranks are: Eleanor Kincaid, Laurence Martin, Robert Hansen, Mae DuBois, Betty Cragin, Virginia Frizzell, Patricia Taaife, Ann Moskovitz, John Witcosky, Marian Main, Elizabeth Ann Poston, Erma Jean Scott, Benton Whitaker, Jesse Arterburn, Irene Beliner, Mary Ellen Fry, Betty Comp- bell, Jean Treat, Mildred Bullock, Wade Martin, and Virginia Downs.

Take for instance, the class play, Rebecca of Sunny Brook Farm. It was a great success with Betty Mae Winters as Rebecca, and what a Rebecca she made! If you don't think the juniors are going places in debates, just ask Miss Moran. And music-Well, watch Charlotte Coulter, Joe Brookshire, and Rex Boyd do their stuff. But We're modest, so why go on? Y IN MEMORIAM The loss of Betty Hansford, one of our most talented and best loved class- mates, leaves a void which cannot be filled. We shall keep with us always, however, the memory of her cheerful and friendly personality. Forty-two l 3 Forty-three STRANGE AS IT SEEMS Jean Miles isn't at all lengthy.

They have a pretty good start too, having been represented in sports as Well as music and public speaking. At their fall meeting the sophomores chose Everett Reniker as their presi- dent: Gail Hood for vice president: Jayne Haughawout as their secretary: and Dick Mills Qnot the orchestra leaderj as their reporter. For their colors, they chose blue and gold. The flowers selected were Rose and Fern. Sponsors of the class are Mr. Henning, Miss Robinson, and Miss Buehl- man.

The boys showed Iine team work, and Lee Marcum made several line runs. The Eagles scored a second victory over Monett. The Cubs could not hold the quick, charging, plunging Eagle backfleld, and were over-whelmed by a score of 31-0. The Columbus Titans were the third victim of the Eagles. Although the Titans put up a hard fight, they were defeated 31-6. Columbus was the first team to cross the Joplin goal in three games. One of the most thrilling football games of the season, was the Lamar- Joplin game. Lamar put over a touchdown in the second quarter and held Joplin scoreless until the last five minutes of the game, when J. R. Graue, substitute fullback, dashed for two touchdowns and plunged two extra points. It was a close game, with Joplin emerging victor by a score of 14-6. The Miami War Dogs proved to be a hard team to beat. The game was played in a drizzling rain and mud almost ankle deep. The teams were well matched. The turning point of the game came when Stair ran 25 yards to the War Dogs' lO-yard line. Then, after two plunges, Lair made the only score of the game, making five straight wins for the Eagles. The light, fast Nevada team were the first to stay the Eagles' winning streak, with a score of 6-6. With about three minutes to go, Lair received the kickoff and galloped 80 yards for a touchdown. The rivalry between Carthage and Joplin flared anew this year as Joplin won 25-0. For the fifth consecutiveyear, Carthage has not scored on a Joplin team. The Neosho Wildcats were tamed by Joplin to the tune of 15-0. This was the first night game under the floodlights at the stadium, and was a hard- fought battle all the way through. The Pittsburg Purple Dragons proved to be Joplin's equal, but not their superior. The game was the second tie game of the year, 14-14. The Turkey Day game was Joplin's only loss. The Fayetteville Bull- dogs drubbed the Eagles by a score of 13-O. Joplin put up a strong battle, but the Bulldogs were having their day. Fifty- three FOOTBALL The squad.

BASKETBALL Joplin is used to having good basketball teams, but this year's squad was so superior as to be outstanding by comparison with all teams in the Tri-State District, Furthermore, it proved itself one of the foremost teams in all the state-in fact, second to one only, as the results of the state tournament at Columbia indicated. Not only are the boys excellent ball players, but, according to Coach Collins, they are outstanding for their clean, sportsman-like conduct, both on and off the basketball court. In Don Sturdy, center and captain, and in Arch Watson, we had two players singled out for individual state honors. That Don has not only skill but grit was shown by the hard fight he made in the state tournament with an injured eye swollen nearly shut. Individually and as a group, Joplin High School is proud of these boys.

Joplin opened the season by defeating Nevada, one of the Big Eight's strongest teams, by a score of 31-15. Pittsburg, after defeating Joplin in every event in live years, came out on the short end of a 25-20 contest. The game was close and fast. Joplin's first game away from home was a hard-earned one. With the score tied, 4-4 at the half, 8-8 at the third-quarter, the Eagles unleashed an attack of long shots and defeated the Springfield Bulldogs by a score of 16-10. Carthage was the next victim of the Eagles. Playing at the Memorial Hall for the first time this year, Joplin went on a scoring spree to defeat Carthage by a score of 45-20. Joplin went to Carterville and defeated them on their own court by a score of 25-10. The game was a thriller throughout. After the third quarter, Sturdy, Joplin captain, broke into the scoring, and Joplin forged ahead with a decisive lead to win. Joplin suffered the first defeat at Columbus. The fast-breaking Titans. lead by Captain Andy Tinney, outplayed the Eagles throughout the entire game. It was an off-night for the Eagles. The score, 17-22. Joplin defeated Lamar at the Memorial Hall by an overwhelming score of 55-16, the largest score of the season. Joplin led throughout the entire game. For the second time this season Joplin defeated Pittsburg. Playing the Purple Dragons on their own court, Joplin won by a score of 29-12. Avenging their defeat by the Columbus Titans, the Eagles defeated Hez Henley's team by a score of 28-18, in a hard-fought game. The score was virtually tied throughout much of the game. At Carthage the Eagles won in a very close game, by a score of 20-16. First one team, then the other would be leading. Joplin came through in the last quarter to defeat Carthage for the second time this year. As a worthy ending of Basketball Week, Joplin again defeated the Spring- field Bulldogs, by a score of 17-16, at the Memorial Hall, with the score tied by Warden's long shot, Sturdy tossed in a free throw forty-five seconds before the whistle, to win the game. Joplin went to Neosho next, where they defeated the Wildcats by a score of 44-15. It was rather an easy game and sustitutions were plentiful. Carterville, Joplin's next victim, bowed for the second time to the Eagles. Joplin won, 27-16. The last scheduled game for Joplin was played at Neosho, where Joplin again won by a large score, 46-15. In a post-season game with the Kansas champions, the Chanute Blue- Comets, Charley Warden made a free throw to win, 13-12, in the fastest game of the season. Joplin won first honors at the Seneca Tournament. Three players were selected for the All-Star A team and one for the B team. In the Neosho Regional Tournament, Joplin won the privilege of going to the State Tournament at Columbia by taking first place. Again three players were selected for the A team and one for the B team. At the State Tournament at Columbia, Joplin went to the finals but was defeated by Hickman High CColumbiaj by a score of 24-28. Only one Mis- souri team defeated Joplin, and that team was the best in the state. Don Sturdy, Jop1in's captain, was chosen All-State Captain and center. and Arch Watson was chosen as All-State Forward. Such a team deserves highest respects. May next year's team carry on.

TRACK IN REVIEW Joplin started its track season with only four letter men this spring, but in spite of the lack of experienced men, has had a very successful season. Quite a number of sophomores and juniors are out and have shown up very favorably-giving promise of an exceptionally strong squad next year. At our first meet, the inter-class contest, the juniors placed first, seniors second, and sophomores third. Rolleg led his team by scoring 15 out of the junior's 56 pointsg the seniors had 45, and the sophs 32. Joplin placed second in the Jasper County meet: Webb City, first: and Carthage, third, In the Cassville meet, Joplin, with 68M points, Won first honors: Cass- Ville, with 48, was secondg and Sarcoxie, with 43, third, As this goes to press the biggest track events of the year are yet to come: The Joplin Relays, the Springfield meet, and the state meet at Columbia. TRACK AND MINOR SPORTS Off all competitive sports, track and field events are perhaps the oldest. We can hardly look upon a race, a shot put, or a discus throw, without having recalled to us the exploits of the Greek heroes of old. Track and field sports are different in one important respect from most high school athletics-the emphasis is not on the team but on the performance of the individual. A school's success in this branch of athletics depends not upon team work but upon the cumulative scores of its individual performers. Hence, it is probably true that track and Held events more than any other high school sports teach rugged self-reliance. Furthermore, when one loses, there is no team mate to blame: he must accept the responsibility for losing, even as he may receive the glory of Winning. Among our stellar performers this year are: Jack Cooper, captain, mile and half-mile: Harold Rolleg, dashes, Frank Mitts, high jump: Bob Evans, discus: Mike Haggard, broad jump: and Thomas Prince, javelin. Among the popular minor sports of the school is fencing. While not officially organized as a club this year, there are a number of enthusiastic fencers in the school, both boys and girls, all of whom have received instruction from Mr. Henley. Mr. Henley is also the unofficial sponsor of a group of young archers. And, incidentally, some of their archery equipment is made in the school's industrial art shop. The school's tennis aspirants look to Mr. Jackle for instruction, and the school, of recent years, has had some very creditable teams. The military men of our school do their share as sports sponsors, too. Major Block and Sergeant Collier Qwith Mrs. Blockj sponsor both boys' and girls' rifle teams, and Sergeant Collier is the adviser and unofficial coach of the golfers.

Girls' Athletic Coach In the hygiene classes the discussions center around the problems of better living. One of the most interesting topics in the hygiene classes is the discus- sion on personality. An intramural basketball turnament has been carried on for the past three years. This tournament is open to any girls' society, section room or inde- pendent team. A general practice is held for about two weeks. At these prac- tices the girls are given special pointers about the game. Then each team practices twice a week. Teams that entered the contest were: Philo Phro- nians, Sigma Gamas, Asphasians, Atalantians, Room 203, Lola Houk's team, Grace Wire's team. Lola I-Iouk's independent team was the winner with the Philo Phronians the runner-up. A basketball tournament is also held among gym classes. The second hour class, Monday and Wednesday, under the captaincy of Bee Graham, won first place in the tournament. Any girl taking physical education may play in the volley ball games held twice weekly after school. The emphasis is not placed on competition but on physical development. The girls show interest in tennis, which always proves to be a popular sport in spring and summer. Anyone who wishes to learn the game may do so under the direction of Miss Krieckhaus. A softball tournament is held each year. It is perhaps the most popular sport of all. The tournament is open to any girls' club or independent team in the high school. Sixty-two we kill, K, J e ,-..

We part the leaves and find to our surprise a long account of the music department from its beginning up to the present day. The first pages give us a brief account of that 'iMusic Master, our Mr. Coulter, who was the central fig- ure in promoting and organizing the orchestra, band, glee clubs, and drum corps, which have now gained such fame throughout the country. He attended school at Olivet College, Olivet, Michigan, where he prepared to be a civil engineer. He had had no previous preparation for teaching music but had made a careful study of voice and orchestral instruments. After graduating he was elected in the fall of 1916 as a teacher of mathematics in the Joplin High School. The orchestra was then a struggling group of about twenty-five members under the direction of a student conductor. Due to his natural inclination in the musical field, he was given the opportunity to conduct the orchestra. Through his enthusiastic and intelligent direction and the diligent and con- scientious rehearsals of the students, an outstanding orchestra was developed. In the spring of 1917, an invitation was received to attend a contest at Springfield. It was scheduled for the day on which the contest for glee clubs and one for orators was to be held. Of course, Joplin High School had to attempt something in every phase of the affair, so the orchestra, and the sixteen members of the Girls' Glee Club Went. Unfortunately, the glee club was defeated. There was no competition for the orchestra, but a special concert was given. Mr. Coulter then enlisted in the army and became a member of the Post Band at Camp McArthur, Waco, Texas. The second semester of the year 1919, witnessed Mr. Cou1ter's return from the army. He immediately resumed the directorate of the music department. He soon organized a band, conducted upon a military basis, which has become an important part of the High School military organization. It entered the tri-state musical contest at Pittsburg. and for their excellent playing, the boys added one more loving cup to the trophy collection. We now turn to the golden page on which shines the record of victories gained at Pittsburg, Springfield, Columbia, and national contests. Due to his victories in these contests, Mr. Coulter had gained nation Wide publicity and prestige. Mr. Coulter is proud of the fact that he is the only conductor who has attended all the Pittsburg contests and has had a full quota of entries every yearj In 1924, we were represented at the first Missouri State Contest. Joplin High was a pioneer in the three major contests in this territory. In 1928, the band attended a national contest at Joliet, Illinois, which was the first step into national circles, In 1931 the band Won honors at another national contest at Tulsa, Oklahoma. During the Wor1d's Fair, in 1933, the orchestra went to a national con- test at Elmhurst, a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, where it was acclaimed as a first ranking organization. They also received this honor at Ottawa, Kansas in 1934. 'The last contest was held in Madison, Wisconsin. In this contest forty of the finest high school orchestras in the country were entered, and Joplin received a second ranking. Such, in brief, has been the record of the Joplin High School Music Department, and as I close the book, Father Time nods in pleased approval. Our Music Master The Music Goes 'Round and Around The music department being in need of some filthy lucre to replenish its depleted treasury, Mr. Coulter decided some sort of an entertainment was in order. So the combined musical organizations presented a triple-threat pro- gram Cexcuse the implied menacej which was quite a deviation from the annual operatic routine. The first part of the program consisted of a band concert. And to show the versatility of their virtuosity, they opened with the Overture from the Golden Dragon, following shortly with Turkey in the Straw. The next part was a nearly perfect replica of the Major Bowe's Amateur Hour. Wendell Garrison said All right at the proper intervals and with the proper intonations. Prank Jenkins announced the program which was broad- cast over WMBH. The judges, with ability to entertain as their standard, awarded first place to Roy Farnham and his 'AMusic Murderers -a band reported to have been recently shaken out of the trees down around A'Alby.'f Second place, went to a quartet composed of Dorothy Duvenick and Jeanne Humphrey, vocal, Victoria Hakan, violin, and Charlotte Coulter, harp. Betty Belle True won third with a character dance. Several other worthy ama- teurs completed the program. Johnny Thompson was the only one who re- ceived the gong. This, of course, was prearranged and was no slam on Johnny's vocal ability Cjust color, you knowlj And the last part of this program was a good old-fashioned, black-face, southern-accent, checked-vest Minstrel Show. Bob Burke was stooge--or interlocuter, if you must be dignified-and the gags were put over by Jack Burress, Fred Robinson, Jimmy James, and Bill Lough. At the time of this Minstrel Show, the Round and Round craze still had us all dizzy, and Jack's interpretation of that popular song proved very popular indeed. One of the singers who deserved no little credit was our basso-profundo, Sam Rinker. At times we wonder if he'll come back up when he sinks into the depths of oblivion -low C. 1.

That's genuine Shakespeare. What we're trying to say is that the tears of the pupils at seeing our dear Miss Barnett leave were mingled with smiles of relief and grins of joy upon discovering that our new teacher, Miss Mayfield, from Terre Haute, Indiana, is the kind of teacher that pupils describe with that expressive, if rather hackneyed phrase, She's swell! Hear ye! Hear ye! One of Willy Shakespeare's stooges presents a review of last year's senior class play-'iTwelfth Night. The poor players Calas!-- Hstrutted and fretted their hour upon the stage. Orsino CAlan Seilerj, Olivia fMarjorie Caskeyj, and Viola QLois Landonj, came valiantly through the bewildering situations which Fate, in a playful mood, thrust upon them. Sir Andrew Aguecheek QMaX Bradfieldb, and Sir Toby Belch CJoe Vin- centj, full oft plastered to the hilt, kicked Ye Olde Gong around with gusto. The delightful drama was given in the best Elizabethan tradition, the players sporting all trappings which did belong to that day. Keep in character! Please! people, keep in character! Now Becky, act as if you really liked Old Uncle Jerry! What's the matter, have you people had a fuss? Three guesses! That's right, it's the junior class play cast in rehearsal. And Miss Barnett is doing her best to get Betty May Winter to remember she is really Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, and D. T. Knight, that he is now Jeremiah Cobb, the lovable old Coachman. And Miss Barnett's best seems to have been plenty good enough, because by the night of Thursday, December 5, 1936, the entire cast were completely in character. Betty May, showing a distinct Hare for comedy, copped most of the laughs. D. T.'s rheumatic limp, and Ellamae Smith's stern manner, as she portrayed Aunt Miranda, were certainly convincing. Joe Brookshire, Jimmy James, and Jean ,Miles were all right pert as Adam Ladd, Abner Simpson, and Mrs. Perkins, respectively. Typical lines from the current senior class play, Big Hearted Herbert: Frank Jenkins, thunderously expounding: When I was twelve years old, there wasn't enough corn meal mush to go around! Ann Moskovitz, flapping her fins in Zasu Pitts fashion: It's not every day I entertain a group of prospective in-laws. Tom Wallace, falling down the stairs: i'Mother, I wanna banana. Elsie Elliott, to little brother Tom Wallace: There are a lot of things a boy of your age doesn't understand. - But why go on? Surely you remember the rest for yourself. Coach of Dramatics Sixty-nine 4 FORENSICS Miss Moran, a teacher of speech and English, coach of forensics, and sponsor of Joplin Chapter, National Forensic League, annually sets somewhat higher the goal to which she purposes to attain. How do stu- dents know what interest they have in foren- sics until they are given opportunity actually to participate in the activity? They do not know. ls it fair and proper that in a school of aboultl thirteen hundred, a coach should devote t e whole allotted time to merel ei ht or twelve students? Miss Moran lllieires KATHRYN MORAN such a method is not right. So her aim is to give to the greatest number possible foren- sic aspiration and to give to that number the most opportunities possible for practice. She has but one requirement and that is willingness to work hard enough to show sincere preparation for the special contest activity and at the same time to maintain a high average in regular class work. By means of elimination contests Joplin High School was represented in the Missouri N. F. L. tournament held on the campus of William Jewell College, Liberty, Missouri, March 5, 6, and 7, by Bernice Payne and Ellamae Smith in oratory, by Ann Moskovitz and Irene Berliner in both humorous and dramatic declamationg by Bob Burke and Betty Ann Greenwell in extempor- aneous speaking: by Bob Robertson and Martha DeVillers in oratorical decla- mation: and by the State debate team-Benton Whitaker, Robert Hansen, Dan Smith, and Frank Jenkins in debate. In the tournament as a whole Joplin and Carrollton tied for first, each scoring forty-five credit points. The national tournament for the Forensic League contestants who won in state tournaments will be held this year, May 4-8, in Oklahoma City. Those who will represent Joplin are as follows: Ann Moskovitz in humorous and dramatic declamationg Irene Berliner in dramatic declamationg and Eleanor Kincaid in oratorical declamation. Special pride Joplin High School has in Eleanor Kincaid for her having won first place in oratory in the National tournament held in Kent, Ohio, last spring. This spring she has won in two original oratorical contests conducted under the auspices of the American Legion-one held at Jopin, and one, at Neosho, Missouri. Various contests are held throughout the vicinity during the course of a year. Joplin can attend only part of themg but when she does, it is excep- tional if she does not place. Bob Evans, and N. F. L. member, won first place in extemporaneous speaking in the annual speech contest held at Drury College, Springfield, Mis- souri. Max Potter, another member, won first place in the essay contest. Since the Joplin Chapter of the National Forensic League was organized in February, 1933, its number of members and degrees has surpassed that of every N. F. L. chapter in the nation-many chapters have been organized for eight or more years-except six. In the State tournaments the Joplin Chapter has attended, she won first place once, second place once, and tied for first in the 1936 tournament. No one is eligible for membership in the National Forensic League unless he has earned at least fifteen credit points through interscholastic contests. He must also hold an average ranking in his regular school work. Students are provided a constant incentive in that the League continues to confer advanced degrees upon members for special attainment. Meetings of the N. F. L. Chapter are held in the various homes. Pro- grams are there given, and parents are always welcomed. Coach of Forensics DEBATERS TRIUMPH AGAIN The state debate team was selected after a tryout in which there were lifty- two original entries. The boys debate in teams of two, debating both sides of the question. The team has given creditable performances in the Pittsburg, Coffeyville, and Topeka tournaments, and went to the quarter-Hnals in the William Jewell tournament. In the state debate tournament, Joplin was victorious in the district contests at Joplin and Springfleld, surpassing twenty other state teams to gain the Southwest Missouri championship. THE STATE TEAM Robert Hansen Dan Smith Benton Whr'taker Frank Jenkins THE ALTERNATE TEAM Anita Raymond Rex Jeans Robert Burke Edmund Falk Seventy-three DEBATE TOURNAMENTS At the opening of the new year in forensics Joplin received invitations to attend debate tournaments being held not only in places where she attended last year but also in other colleges. Many could not be accepted. But, in general, the invitations accepted permitted as many entries as the school wished to send. In that respect Joplin was fortunate for many teams were rather well prepared and eager to debate. The Hrst tournament attended was held at Pittsburg, Kansas. There our school entered twelve teams composed of four each. Of the fifty-two debates we participated in, we won twenty-eight. Then came the time, December l2 and 13, for the Coifeyville tournament. Thirty-six students took part there, eight of whom were in the quarter-Hnal round, two in the semi-final, but none. in the final. That tournament was followed by one which was held in Topeka, Kansas, High School. There we entered three teams: Clj the State team, com- posed of Benton Whitaker, Robert Hansen, Dan Smith and Frank Jenkins: C25 the alternate team, composed of Rex Jeans, Anita Raymond, Eddie Falk. and Bob Burke: and C35 Jean Miles, Wendell Garrison, Harry Evans, and Billy Havens. There every team debated seven times. Our state team won six debates: the alternate, six: and the third team, three. Chanute won that tournament. On January 12, 1936, the first tournament of our group in the State Debating League was held. Nevada, Carthage, Webb City and Joplin partici- pated. Dr. Reid of the speech department of the University of Missouri was the judge. Joplin was victorious. The next State League tournament was held in Springfield Teachers' College, where eight schools were entered: Aurora, Crane, Cassville, Everton, Lebanon, Hermitage, Humansville, and Joplin. Again Joplin won, thus receiving the trophy for the Southwest Championship. This next tournament will be held in Columbia, Missouri, On March l2 a team of two, Jean Miles and Anita Raymond, entered the William Woods College tournament. Among the teams entered there, were Topeka, Kansas, Jacksonville, Illinois, and all district winners of Missouri. The Joplin team was in the semi-final debate, at that time losing to Carrollton, Missouri. A tournament somewhat different from the others was that to which only sophomore teams from our school were invited. Two sophomore teams were entered. They placed third, thereby receiving a small loving cup. It may seem the winnings are at a minimum, but the value received by the many who have had the advantage of meeting in debate, teams from other cities and states, and of making social contacts with some of the Hnest students of many schools, can not be estimated. No one can lose in debating: for even though he lost a decision, he gained in speaking ability and in the desire to work harder that he might win the decision in his debates yet to be.

SPRING DEBATE TOURNAMENT The annual intramural debate tournament, as usual, proved very suc- cessful, in that a large percentage of our students in some capacity participated in the activity. Those who actually debated in the preliminary rounds were eighty-four in number. But other students had active parts. For each debate there were a chairman, a timekeeper, and a page. ln a few cases there were also student judges, all of the State team and alternate team serving in every round as they were not privileged to debate in the spring tournament. For every debate there were three judges. At the close of the third round, the high affirmative and high negative teams of each bracket became eligible for the fourth round. Beginning with the fourth round, each defeat was an elimination. The seventh round became the final. Those who debated in that round were as follows: Richard McWilliams and Joe Brookshire, affirmative: and Marian Barnhart and Dee Wilson, negative. The affirmative won the decision. Rankings as given by judges throughout the tournament had been care- fully kept. Those who finished with the best rankings were Joe Brookshire first and Dee Wilson second. Each received five dollars as an award. The boys who won the tournament are members of the Herculean Literary Society. For the third time that society has won the Fleischaker loving cup. It was originally planned that whichever society won the cup three times should be presented with the trophy as a permanent possession. So the cup now belongs to- the Herculeans. We have, however, the Elsner loving cup with which to begin next year. The annual spring debate tournament carries with it much interest, enthusiasm, and individual study on the parts of the students. Cooperation on the part of principal, parents, and faculty members each year make the activity a success. Seventy-flue OTHER SPEECH CONTESTS The contests held in declamation and extemporaneous speaking throughout our district have not been so many as those held in debate. They have been important, however, and the quality of work done therein has been excellent. An intramural contest was held in our own school on Saturday, January l l, at which time in humorous declamation, Irene Berliner placed first and Ann Moskovitz. second. In the dramatic declamation again Irene Berliner placed Hrst and Ann Moskovitz, second. Later elimination contests were held in our school for other phases of forensic contests. In the extemporaneous speaking, Bob Burke and Betty Ann Greenwell won first and second places respectively. In oratorical declamation Bob Robertson and Nlartha DeVillers won first and second places respectively. Those winners then entered the State N. F. L. tournament, which was held March 5, 6, and 7, at William Jewell College, Liberty, Missouri. At this contest, Ann Moskovitz won first place in humorous declamation and second in dramatic. Others who placed in the meet were Ellamae Smith and Irene Berliner, Another tournament of importance that brought more honors to Joplin was the annual Drury College Speech Tournament held in Springfield, Decem- ber fifth: Max Potter won first in the original essay: Erma Jean Scott, second in short storyg Ann Moskovitz, first in poetry reading: and Bob Evans, first in extemporaneous speaking. The fine spirit of our participants in all forensic contests, the great benefit derived from preparation and competition, and the many honors won for service well rendered give many Joplin students forensic aspiration and help patrons to believe the contests are much worth while.

COMPOSITIONS THE IOPLIMO THE SPYGLASS WWWXWWWXTMWWWWWWWWQ RHYTHM GIRLS THE IOPLIMO In preparing the 1936 Joplimo the staff, as in the past, has tried to show the year's activities and achievements in word and picture. We have en- deavored to create a book that will recall many pleasant memories for both seniors and underclassmen. Without the cooperation which we received from the faculty and stu- dents it would have been an impossibility for the staff to prepare this book. We wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation . As are most progressive annual publishers, the Joplimo is a member of state and national scholastic press associations.

For some, it means the end of class-room instruc- tion and the starting of the greater school, experienceg it marks the beginning of a career during which will be applied the doctrines and principles that were taught throughout the past years. For others, it marks but another mile-stone on the road of education, along which they will continue to add to the foundation of the structure which houses their character and their soul. For all these young men, be they now graduates or under- classmen, the R. O. T. C. has earnestly endeavored to awaken in their hearts and minds an appreciation of their responsi- bility of citizenship, and to in- culcate in them habits of alert- ness, courtesy, respect for law and order, precision, self-discip- line, resourcefulness, initiative, and leadership, to the end that they will be better fitted to meet the problems of their everyday life, and, consequently, be a credit to their community, state, and nation. THE COMBINED STAFFS With ffags flying, drums beating, and trumpets blaring, the corps swings smartly down the street. What a stirring picture the two battalions of the regiment maksl No wonder the teachers have difficulty in dragging the girls from the north windows when the unit is on parade. Major Block has three staffs aiding him this year: The regimental staff with Lieutenant Colonel Robert Evans in com- mand: the first battalion staff, made up of A and B Companies, with Major Deloy McMullen in command: the second bat- talion staff, comprising C and D Com- panies, commanded by Major Arch Wat- son. The regimental staff consists of four members, while the staffs of the First and Second Battalions consist of four members each. Miss Harriet Ochsenbein who is the Honorary Lieutenant Colonel and Nlajor Adjutant fvl. G. Herron are members of the regimental staff. O First Row-'fWatson, Evans, Ochsen- bein, Herron, McMullen-Second Row- Finke, Witcosky, Foster, Bennett, Shep- hard, J. - Third Row-Scott, Katner, Duncan, Sims. THE DIAMOND AND DISC There's something about a soldier, you know and particularly about an of- ficer! Is it the shining Sam Brown belt, the gleaming diamonds and discs flashing on broad manly shoulders, or the dazzle of the polished saber that makes the girlies' hearts to pit-a-pat? There's some- thing tho'-an indescribable fascination. But-here's the catch-no girls allowed. What a pity! Major Block, who came to Joplin last fall, is the new sponsor of the Diamond and Disc and has already endeared himself, not only to the R. O. T. C. boys, but also to every student who has come into con- tact with him. He and Mrs. Block have instituted something new in J. H. S.-a girls' rifle team. And they talk about dis- armament!

First Row-Sgt. Collier, Lt. Col. Evans, Hon. Lt. Col. Ochsenbein, Major Block. The commissioned officers of the unit are appointed according to their grades. The lieutenant-colonel for this year was Robert Evans. This year the corps was divided into two battalions, consequently we had two majors, Deloy McMullen and Arch Watson. Watson was awarded a regular army officer's saber for being the best-drilled cadet last year. lt is an annual custom of the cadets to select a senior girl to be honorary lieutenant colonel. This year Harriet Ochsenbein was chosen for the honor. Sergeant Collier is the drill instructor for the unit, and Major Block concentrates on Military Science and Tactics. BAND OFFICERS Reading from left to right are: Third Row-Daniels, Shepherd D., Jen- kins. Second Row-Owen, Dwyer, Parker, Longacre. First Row-Falk, Hansen, Wallace, Smith, Whitaker. The band officers are selected on the same basis as the other officers of the corps. Some of these officers hold rankings which are among the highest of the corps. The two highest band officers are the Major and Commander, who are chosen by Mr. Coulter. This year Tom Wallace was selected as major and Robert Hansen as commander. RIFLE TEAM Reading from left to right are: Third Row-Butcher, Katner, Box. Jones, McMullen, Morris, Stevens. Second Row-McKinder, Duvenick, Craig, Hubbard, Watson. First Row-Leib, Potter, Moore, DeCraff, Chapman, Sgt. Collier. The members of the rifle team are chosen on the basis of high-firing scores. The team is coached by Sergeant Collier. The Seventh Corps Area Match which is one of its activities was fired here. From those who entered, Jones, DeC1raff, Steven, Butcher, and Warden were selected to go to the invitation match which was held at the Kemper Military Academy in Boonville, Missouri. From the same match Craig, the team captain, McMullen, Stevens, Jones and Warden were chosen to go to the Hearst National Match. Elwood Stevens won the Diamond and Disc trophy by having the highest score. Charles DeGraff received a certificate for most improved rifleman.

Joplin High School preaches the necessity of training students for intelli- gent citizenship, and it practices what it preaches, not only in its classes. but by providing a Student Council which is organized along the lines of a con- gress with representatives from the various districts Chome roomsj, The Stu- dent Council each year undertakes some worthwhile project for school or civic betterment. This year it was an electric score board for the stadium. The Council also represents the student body officially in making re- quests of, or suggestions to, the administration. The members of this organiza- tion are a select group, each one being president of his home room. You people who haven't been to any of the debate tournaments don't know what fun you've missed! If you did know, you couldn't sit around and look at peace with the worldg instead you'd feel like giving yourself a good kick. The purpose of this organization is to promote interest in all the forensic activities and to develop extempore speaking, original oratory, humorous and dramatic declamation, and debating. The battle cry of Forensic League mem- bers is On to the National Speech Tournament. This year the tournament was held in Oklahoma City. More fun! The day for the announcement of the National Honor Society is looked forward to with great anxiety by the seniors. Groups are formed around the bulletin boards where the list of members is posted and the students eagerly search for their names. Election to this society is considered the crowning honor a senior may attaing and, each year after the selection of new members has been made, the sophomores and juniors work harder and more industriously than they have at any other time during the school year. The purpose of the organization is to award recognition to the students who have contributed to the school life by excelling in leadership, scholarship, character, and service. The National Honor Society is to the high school student what Phi Beta Kappa is to the college student. ,., ' pg, . ,.,.

There's a snowball coming right at you. Every society has its forte, and it doesn't take a great deal of exhausting mental effort to see that the Hercs specialize in forensic activities. In plain English, they have a gift of gab. They have delved deep into all that about Resolved: etc., etc. . . It always makes us feel as if someone had heaved a piano at us and knocked us for the count, but it doesn't feaze these young Henry Clays. Some of them will undoubtedly knock the Senate for a row of Washington cherry blossoms, with their steam-heated, fire-spitting, tear-jerking, blood-pressure-raising. fervid speeches. We're not emotional either: they're just good talkers. Minstrels, amateur hours, country school programs-for all these things the G. Q.'s are famous! They do other things too-those merry, happy boys, but they're particularly famed for the programs they give in assembly. You can't possibly lose the memory of Major Blowe's Amateur Hour with Ike Hawkins as the genial Major. And you can't forget Bill Lough doubling in a pinch for Kate Smith. You'll surely remember, too, Neale Pinet and John Stephens as the daring young men in the roller skate act. And so we say, 'ilsong life to these boys who can make us laugh and for- get that we have trig tests and chemistry exams. Some time ago, the rustic residents of a certain Ozark region were some- what disturbed to see a truck load of young America arrive amid a deluge of ear-splitting, lung-bursting, record-breaking shouts. The yokels' jaws gaped even wider when the boys began to clamber over the hills and dales, with no apparent purpose, other than, perhaps, to see who could get the most chiggers. To finish things up, someone fell in the river, it rained while they were on the way home, and the motor suddenly decided to do a take-off on a Missouri mule. And that, boys and girls, is an example of an Athenaeum outing! Everyone knows their chief activities are in the realm of intramural sports, so we won't take up our space and your time by putting that in for have we already done it?j .is 11 I.: 'iil iil Z 'ii w il, il 1 ,F I-. ,i 5352 filll,-f' At' ,, ,,, 5, ,E Q. 5? ,Vi 1 W ii i ' is .2 . g ,Q .

The Forum, as its name implies, is not confined to the study of any par- ticular field, but allows for great variety in its programs. For instance, one of the most memorable presentations of this year was a dramatic interpretation of Lizah crossing the ice, hounds baying, Simon Legree cursing and all, Then there have been excellent impersonations of famous people, and, of course. many other programs of biographical, scientific, or political nature. The club annually eliminates the weaker members at its stag mixer where all partake of half done wieners and cider. If they live, they're deemed hardy enough for the year's activities. All came through this year: so, you see, they can take it. The Hi-Y's, after their recent reorganization, are coming along just fine. thank you, and why shouldn't they with such an illustrious president as Little Frankie, Hpride of the school, 'Athat man with the camera, etc. Their theme this year was Our Foreign Relations. No, you Vague Mentalities, that doesn't mean Aunt Minnie in Australia, or Uncle Gus in Germany, but weighty matters like the promotion of world peace, goodwill among nations, and such. And indeed, this universal peace business seems to be quite a problem, even for our Hi-Y's, They haven't solved it yet,-but they expect to. The L. C. F.'s are chargedhwith a serious duty, that of making Les Cin- quante Freres, CThe Fifty Brothersj, more than ever a real asset to the school, and of keeping the high ideals of her who was their counselor ever before their eyes. They feel themselves, dedicated to the memory of their late sponsor, Miss Barlow, beloved and respected by every one of them, with that sincerity derived from friendship. They want to be all she could have wished them to be, always striving for the best results in their school work, eagerly taking part in all worth-while activities, living their lives usefully, helpfully, and intelligently. lf -.,,..

The football boys will assure you that the Saps aren't as sappy as their name may sound. They threw what is called in any language a wow of a banquet for the football squad. This year Miss Wynett Barnett, who has been the Sapphonian sponsor since 1924 and is known to many as Aunt Winnie, was granted a leave of absence, and Miss Marian Martin was an- nounced as their new sponsor. The Sapphonians were very active in all the major activities of the school and proved they were good workers by winning first and second prizes in the two football ticket campaigns. But then-these girls are always good! Courage! Loyalty! Honesty! Cooperation These are indeed worthy ideals for the Atalantian girls to live up to. With the encouraging help of Miss Susan Haswell, the forty-seven members of this organization seem to be doing a plenty good job of attaining these ideals. The Atalantians are very active in extra-curricular activitiesg they play basketball, participate in debate and music, and well-about everything but footballg At their St. Patrick's day banquet, they played Pig in the Parlor. It may be just a coincidence. but how does that old Irish song go? Every society seems to be noted for something and that something in the Philo Phronians is their basketball team. This year the team won second place in the Girls' Basketball Tournament. For the Hrst time in several years the girls were allowed to play on regular scheduled basketball nights before the J. H. S. squad met their opponents. This group made the most of the opportunity. Now we ask you, why shou1dn't the Philo Phronians be the best athletes in school when Miss Helen Krieckhaus is their sponsor? The Philo Phronians gave a buffet supper and dance at the T. P. A. cabin. The theme of the party was On the Good Ship Lollypopf' Place Cards were made in the form of anchors, and everything was decorated to resemble a ship. They also helped in preparing baskets for the needy at Thanksgiving. A few days before, they had a party at which every one donated some article for the baskets. er '! f'f1 .... g et at 17 .i f sg eg 32.1 ffl ' , . .. . gil ? iliigw T SSZZW HY l ss? i lla as .-a gl' 4 Si ll FZSQ 3135 E , ... ,, ri caeesc .L :i'! ..- .,.,. ,...., 1 a T' E ii HH 9E6I I'Id ASPllASIANSf Fourth RowiRuth Cox.

Believe it or not, there is a very special reason why some of the literary societies have very queer and Greekish-sounding names. The Asphasians are so called after Aspasia, who was the first woman to believe in equal education of men and Women. Let mere man be careful when he enters these portals! Carying out the idea of their origin, the programs of the society were based on Education of Women. They do, as well as teach, good deeds. This year the Asphasians adopted a Whole family and sent them Thanksgiving and Christ- mas baskets. Good Work and worthy, Asphasians. Keep it up. Please Believe Me when I tell you that the music really Went 'round and 'round and came out at the Philogian banquet. The theme was 'Amusic and it was carried out in the most unique manner possible. Several very interesting talks were given and the one made on Annapolis, by Clyda Bontier, caused a great deal of interest, or should I say speculation, as to whether the pin and ring she has really belongs to her brother or ??? The annual short story and poem contest was again sponsored by the society to encourage origin- ality and ingenuity among its members. The Girl Reserves is the only international society in the school. The Joplin Chapter was organized in 1918, and is, therefore, the oldest organiza- tion in the school. At the Girl Reserve Conference, which was held in Battles- ville, Oklahoma on February 28, 29, and March 1, the Joplin delegates were in charge of all the music for the various sessions. The conference discussions were held on the various goals and achievements of the Girl Reserves, including family life, etiquette, clothes, social service, vocations, industry and religion. Miss Georgia Wommack was elected treasurer of the Tri-State Conference of Girl Reserves for the coming year. The members feel that their local programs have been very much Worth While, also. .. ...

Another group of Olympiad beauties. Fifteen men on a dead man's chest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum. ' I imagine that almost every one knows that these two lines were taken from Stevenson's exciting tale, 'iTreasure Island, The scene of the annual Sigma Gamma Banquet was laid on this very island and even treasure chests were found there. A great deal of excitement was caused by the discovery of menues in these chests. The Sigma Gamma Lambda is an organization made up of junior and senior girls only. Hard on the sophomores? Well, no- it gives them something to look forward tol The Castalian Literary Society incorporated in its semester schedule some enjoyable features that were quite different from those of the past years. The old adage The early bird gets the worm was changed by the Castalians to, The early bird gets the most done. They held their annual banquet during the Christmas season, and therefore the remaining time permitted the plan- ning of special program work. The Castalians held several covered-dish sup- pers and had many interesting programs, the most notable being a Major Bowes' Amateur Hour with Emma Belle DeVaney as the HCastalian Major Bowes. But this was only the beginning of all the good times had by the members of the Castalians. Every year the Olympiads hold Olympiad Day and this year they cele- brated by having a covered-dish supper. A picture was taken for the Sunday Globe, but no one seems to know where Miss Lucille Buck, the honorary spon- sor,Was. The Olympiad girls certainly believe in living up to their motto, Achievement is glory enough, for some of their members have achieved the highest offices of the school. Among the members are the honorary lieutenant colonel, the secretary of the Student Council, drum major of the Girls' Drum Corps, editor-in-chief of the Spyglass, and associate editor of the Joplimo. If that isn't achievement in a big way, we've missed our guess. ? 'E il 1.11: .1':-,,. ia, Q 4 'FE .j 1 Z 1 2 1 .5 l 1 erik ll.

In their objective, which is to maintain high ideals and to acquire literary excellence, the Argonauts of Joplin High School differ from the Argonauts of old mythology. They suit their actions to the word, too. They have those good old-fashined spelling matches. We're going to slip in some day and spring Hphotochronographyn on 'em. What's that? Oh, yes, we had to look it up, but everybody knows we can't spell. The programs usually include miscellaneous articles from magazines and newspapers. I. Three faithful A. O. Afs. 2.

Of all the words in the dictionary these are the most despised by 'Masker pledges for they bring untold embarassment to him. You can imagine how you'd feel if you had to button while you were walking down the hall with your boy friend Cor, I might add, your girl friendj. Still, I doubt if there is a single boy or girl who wouldn't be too glad to exchange places with him. This organization produces two plays during the year for assembly programs, and the student body eagerly looks forward to these plays, This year they gave HA New Deal for Mary the first semester, and for the last semester presented Orchids for Marie, The ancient Order of Alchemists is a name to live up to, and all new members are duly impressed with this fact by a most thrilling initiation, How much they are impressed is seen in their conscientious study of natural science. lf you still think 'Tm from Missouri is a snappy comeback, what a nifty time you'd have around the A. O. A.'s-at least until you found out they usually have some backing for all their queer statements. For instance, the one about how it took the fishes millions of years to find out about farming with carbon dioxide, and how deceitful an alcohol rub can be, and-oh. well, it was something like that!

Well, that was just the kind of a party that the Art Club had, but they went TWO better-they had ice cream and cakes too-the gluttons. The major project of the Art Club this year was the sponsoring of an exhibit consisting of all the art Work of Joplin schools during the National Education Week. The organizations paid for the renting of a room downtown and did practically all the work. One of the most interesting things that the club did was to go on sketching-trips after school and on Saturdays. Clever these artists.

SPANISH CLUB If you have seen, during the past year, some members of the Spanish Club poring over a book of Mother Goose, or Little Red Riding Hood, or Goldi- locks-it wasn't necessarily a sign that they were approaching that stage of senility when one often reverts to the pleasures of infancy. It probably meant, instead, that they were to be on the program for one of the club's meetings in the near future. And to silence any smart cracks in connection with the mental maturity of people who bite their fingernails and chew their handkerchiefs and wilt their collars and get a bad case of terroritis accompanied by quaking knees and shivering teeth-all over the imminent danger of Little Red Riding Hood about to be irreparably masticated by the Big Bad Wolf-let us add that these plays were given in Spanish. But the Spanish Club members didn't spend all their time camouflouging fairy tales until Mother Goose herself wouldn't recognize them. Infact, their chief project for the year was obtaining the Hags of all Spanish-speaking coun- tries. The members of the Spanish Club are: Marvin Gilstrap, Raymond Fly, Orvill Horton, Harold Lloyd, Tom Fenix, William Thomas, Bob Hall, Charley Short, Betty Belle Ingram, Betty Dollar, LaVern Putnam, Grace Gilcrest, and Joe Vinot. l.

Co. S H G N S on anything--anywhere 1031 Joplin St. Phone 90 THIRTY MILLION NEW 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 preservationg 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 1936, know these conveniences in your parents' homes. You will want them in your 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 1936, The Empire District Electric Company welcomes the opportunity to add its word of congratulation and sincerest wishes for success in the years ahead.

'iHail, hail, the gang's all here! The boys and girls trippec back to their places with sunshiny faces. smiling, eager-?did I say smiling?i About the first thing the upper classmen noticed, when they were abln to wipe the many stray sophomores from their sweltering brows and ses through, was that we have three new faculty members, Miss Williams ir the English Dept., Major Block heading the Army, and Mr. Jones down al the Trade School, We're glad to have youl The Spyglass has started its annual keyhole peeping under the otficia Winchelling of Eleanor Kincaid: and the Joplimo is doing very well, thanl- you, in the hands of Editor-in-Chief, Eddie Falk. The R. O. T. C. is back in its boots minus the saddles and agreeing very thoroughly with Rudyard Kipling in this matter of slogging boots. But bear up boys-maybe some day you will cut as good a ligure in yours as Lieutenant-Colonel Bob Evans does in his. Ye Dearre Olde Student Council has high hopes of giving us a really good major project this year with President Linn Stair and Secretary Harrie' Ochsenbein doing a lot of high-powered plugging for it. All of the literary societies have elected their officers for the semestei and the brickbats and bouquets are flying thick and fast. SEPTEMBER 17. The good old Red and Green Eagles started off the footl ball schedule with a smashing victory over Aurora, Yipeeeeee-or is thai the kind of a noise an eagle makes? Well, the ball has started rolling: the pendulum has begun to swing, etc -in other words, we're back in the harness again. Time marches on, but so does our R. O. T. Clso what? OCTOBER 4. Again our pigskin pushers scored a hit by defeating Monet here in the Junge Stadium. j OCTOBER ll. These are coming almost too fast for us, but here we ar chalking up a third mark for the boys. This time it was on the Columbu gridiron. OCTOBER 16-l7-l8. Three-day breathing spell-Teachers' Convention. By the way, you missed something if you didn't hear the verse speaking choii perform in the speech division of this convention. The Lew Starett seleci tion they gave would make a real, honest-to-goodness injun turn paleface OCTOBER 18. And while our teachers had their heads bent over the weighty problems of administration, the Eagles swooped down on another helplesl victim--Lamar, and you know the results-VICTORY l l I f We elected Eleanor Kincaid as our representative to the Coal Queen Contest at Pittsburg. Evidently Old King Coal Csome punj didn't take z good look at her, but we still think she's tops. The Army got together and chose Harriet Ochsenbein for its Honorary Lieutenant Colonel. The one rose among the thorns, and how she does lenc grace to those Wednesday morning parades. Monty Jane James was runner up, a charming one, too. Now we observe National Eire Prevention Week. Don't play witl matches, children. OCTOBER 25. Dan Smith emerged victorious from the senior class presi- dential election. He is also student-conductor of the band and orchestra You're doing right well, Dan. Congrats. Another football game and with the results we have grown to expect Down that in Oklahoma where the Indians run lose, we held our owr against Miami. Oh yes, we must say that the other musical organizations have splendic leaders, too. Elsie Elliott and Junior Wilson are weilding the batons in thi girls! and boys' drum corps, respectively: while Tom Wallace has been selectec by Chief to keep the band boys on the right key. And so the music goel 'round and 'round in JHS and comes out in the practice periods of our variouj musical units. Back to this subject of class elections. The sophomores decided thai Everett Reniker could take their burdens on his shoulders for the first yeai in high school. The Juniors, after a series of brawled meetings-I mean called meetings--finally chose Rex Boyd for a second time as president of theii class. I This blustery month of October draws to a close and drab November ii ushered in, We almost got poetical, but none of that until spring. NOVEMBER l. Bong -Just another Ambitious Amateur's dreams shat tered, but not our Ann Moskovitz's. Yes, Ann carried off another prize anc the first prize at that, in the North Junior High School P. T. A. Contest, heri in our auditorium. Not such a bad beginning for the month, eh? This month we observe National Education Week by studying the dif- ferent phases of education and by studying our regular lessons, too, whicl was nothing unusually different--or perhaps it was. CALENDAR The Sapphonians won the ticket sale for the Armistice Day game. Nice going, girls. Was the buggy ride in the parade fun? And that was some parade before the game Armistice Day. With the army, the band, the drum corps, and everything. This game marked another triumph of the Eagles, this time over Car- thage. one of our Strongest opponents. These victories are coming in pretty regularly. Three cheers for Coach Collins and the team I I I NOVEMBER 15, Before we had time to recover from the game, the debaters had gone to Pittsburg and had come back. That was some tripl NOVEMBER, 28. Then we Hnished out the month with three more football games. All defeats for the opponents of the Red and Green, except the game on the 28th against Fayetteville, which was the first defeat of the season. Some record I I I DECEMBER 5. Junior Class play presented. The baby in the third act made a howling success. The Spring Debate tournament and its high-powered propositioning is now in full swing. Twelve cadets were promoted. How're you doin' boys? Joplin debaters to Topeka. 'lOh me, debating again. IN MEMORIAM. Betty Hansford. Joplin contestants win prizes at Drury College-per usual. DECEMBER 17. Aptitude tests for Seniors. These seniors are wise guys. How do we know? We had a ringside seat at those aptitude tests. Girls' Rifle Team organized. A bunch of hot shots, Whee I I Moreover. consequently, likewise, and nevertheless the Hercs have started the banquets off with a bang-bang. CDec. 205. JANUARY ll. Reading contest: Berliner, lst place: Moskovitz, Reid, 2nd place. Well, well, well, it looks as if the sophomores are coming up in the world. R. O. T. C, batalion divided into two regiments. What's the matter, boys, get tired of eacht other's company? Sapphonian's buffet supper for Miss Barnett. Speaking of tall stories, Don Sturdy was elected basketball captain for the rest of the season, JANUARY 10, ll. Debaters to Fort Scott. In spite of the fact that our debaters like to flirt, I have been told that they escaped Fort Scott's clutches with few scratches. FEBRUARY 15. Basketball Week. We had our hardest fought basketball game with Springfield. FEBRUARY 21. Debaters to Springfield-lst place-again. FEBRUARY 22. Military Ball. Waltz me around again, Bobby. Oh yes, and as another small item, 200 other R. O. T. C. boys were there also. FEBRUARY 7. Amateur contest, band concert, and minstrel show. But Mammy did allow some music playing around here. IN MEMORIAM: Miss Barlow. The Girl Reserves have just returned from their annual conflab at Bar- tlesville. As if they didn't get enough gabbing done at home. MARCH 12. Basket Ball Team to State contest at Columbia where Sturdy was elected captain of All-State team. MARCH 13. Rifle Teams to Kemper. Maybe we have the wrong idea of a prize at a shooting We didn't see any loving cups, but the girls and boys tell us they did all right. MARCH 18. We're proud of the winners in the preliminary music contests. Good luck to you in future contests. MARCH 23. Honor Society announced. Kincaid, valedictorian: Martin, sal- utatorian.
