The citizens of Joplin have placed in their hands the responsibilities of planning, as well as carrying out, the program upon which all functions of the Joplin schools are based. The primary function of the Board of Education is legislative and judicial rather than administrative. It holds its chief administrative officer respon- sible for the efficient administration and supervision of the entire school system. Individual members exercise no executive authority except as provided for by specific action of the Board. The Board of Education consists of six members, who hold their office for three years and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The citizens of Joplin are proud to send their children to the well- equipped and modern public schools. They feel that the education of their children is under the direction of a competent faculty. They are pleased with the manner in which our Board of Education has provided an adequate public school revenue. ln other words, the members of the Board have merited the trust given them by the successful way in which they have achieved and main- tained Joplin's excellent school system. During the supervision of the present administration significant advances have been made in the addition of modern rooms to the various schools. An achievement which may presage future attainments was the inauguration of a junior college division. The successful inculcation of this unit into the Joplin school system is regarded as a distinctly progressive move. In the above picture are members of the Board of Education at a regular meeting, Reading from left to right are Mr. Herbert Wheeler, Member: Mr. Charles Wells, Member: Mr. E. A. Elliott, Superintendent of Schoolsg Mr. S. A, Harris, President of the Board: Mrs. Etta B. Garlock, Secretary: Miss Eern Gray, Clerk: Mr. Cliff K. Titus, Member: Mr. Clifford Casey, Member. S I pf. Seventeen E. A. ELLIUTT SUPERINTENDENT of JUPLIN PUBLIC SCHOOLS MH W7 , W One of the best indications of Mr. Elliott's fitness for public school work is his popularity with the student body. Always a forceful and interesting talker, and one with a keen sense of humor, he is a favorite assembly speaker with high school students. To the school patrons of Joplin he is known and respected as an efficient and progressive educator. Mr. Elliott is a graduate of the University of Kansas from which he holds a Master of Arts degree. He served as a school executive in several Kansas and Missouri cities before coming to Joplin in the fall of 1930 from Nevada, Missouri, where he was superintendent of schools. Since he has been in Joplin, Mr. Elliott has become known as a willing and valuable worker in any worthy civic cause, and is frequently called upon for such service. In spite of a busy program, he Ends time for occasional ish- ing trips or motor outings, and is fond of outdoor activity. Joplin students are proud of the fact that their superinten- dent is the representative of his state in The Forty-eight Club, an organization of school administrators to which is admitted only one member from each state. H. E. BLAINE DIRECTUR ul SECUNIIARY EDUCATION Mr. Blaine, our kindly, scholarly director of secondary education, has given unstintingly during his many years of service to Joplin High School. His example as an upright and esteemed citizen has been an inspiration to every student UTo strive, to seek, to find. He is a wise philosopher with a glowing smile and a merry twinkle in his eye, The fact that he is intensely interested in the development of high school boys and girls and understands their problems makes him very popular with the high school students. They always consider him as their friend and know that they will receive fair and sympathetic treat- ment in any matter that they bring before him. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Drury College and has done graduate work at the University of Chicago, where he received the Master of Arts degree. As director of Joplin's secondary schools he is widely known and respected, He is devoted to Joplin High School and to the Joplin Junior College, and is always ready to do anything within his power to aid the student bodies of either school to put across some worthwhile project. His long experience in secondary administration and his sincere desire to be of real service make him one of the state's outstanding public school educators. Eighf GLEN R. HEATHER!-IEE PRINCIPAL of JIJPLIN HIGH SEHUUI. Mr. Deatherage, our principal, is a witty and dynamic man. His career as an executive and business man has made him one of the most prominent school executives in this part of the country. An extremely versatile person, his general knowledge, dramatic ability, and forceful personality have impressed and inspired the students and people who know him. He is a graduate of the University of Missouri at Columbia and has done advanced work at Columbia University in New York City, Among the positions he held before coming to Joplin High School were: Principal of Clinton High School, Principal of Carthage High School, Principal of Central High School and Junior College in St, Joseph. and Principal of North Junior High School of Joplin. For several years he was employed by the Allyn-Bacon Book Company. Vv'e are grateful to our principal for the guidance and advice given us. Because he usually succeeds in everything which he undertakes and always lends a surprise touch in the process, he has proved himself an able leader of Joplin High School during the two years in which he has been associated with it.

Ruth was respected for her ability and fine character, and was univer- sally liked for her sympathetic and helpful personality. Fellow students and teachers were deeply grieved at the sud- den passing of Louis Doty. Regarded by his teachers as a faithful and conscientious stu- dent, and popular with all who knew him, Louis will be re- membered and missed by those he leaves. JUNIUR CLASS The class of l939 came to Joplin High School in the fall of l936, outwardly, looking much like ordinary sophomores, but, potential- ly-oh, how different. As first year students, they were properly well-behaved and respectful. What might have passed for undue humility and meekness, it now becomes apparent, was merely the intense concentration of precocious youngsters in mastering the methods and tech- niques of a new environment. The soundness of this prudent first year course of action has been verined by the splen- did record of their junior year. While main- taining high standards of scholarship. the class has been ably represented in every school activity and has attained especial recognition in dra- matics, speech, and athletics. The members of the class realize that from their number must come most of the student leaders whose task it will be next year to main- tain Joplin High School's distinctive record of outstanding achievement. They are confident, and look forward with eagerness to a senior year of noteworthy success. ln the picture above are this year's junior class officers. From left to right, they are: standing-Treasurer Earl Bruton, Sergeant-at- arms George Beck, President David Blair: seated+Secretary Paul Williams, Reporter Lola Potter, Parliamentarian Theodore Coulter, Vice President David Remillard. 11 HOME ROOM B I-'rflh Rott'-Mrs, Chestnut.

D 1 fr A i S Q. 'Qfn A 4 SUPHUMURE CLASS Like the materials of the great American melting pot, this yearys sophomore class has been assembled from the four-well, anyway, from three points of the compass. South High Sent the largest number, with North and East contributing most of the remainder of the more than four hundred members of the class. This first year has been largely one of making acquaintances, developing a feeling of class unity, and becoming familiar with a new and rather large high school. Already, however, the class has begun to show that it has talent and intellect. lts leaders have already made the upper classmen strain a bit in the competition for honors. and the sophomores have not always come off second-best in the contest. In the main, however. this has been a year of growth and of preparation for the duties and responsi- bilities which they must carry as upper class- men, This process of growth has been going on in class rooms, clubs, music organizations, speech activities, athletics-in fact, in every worthwhile activity of the school. The sophomores are ambitious to equal the performance of the best of the classes which have passed through Joplin High. Yes, they hope even to eXcel these past records. The class officers are shown above. From left to right, Secretary Dorothy Lyden, Presi- dent Virginia Tyler, Vice President Lee McKee. li! HOME ROOMS 204 AND 105 lfrflh Row-Garrard Carter.

The Carl Junction game was the irst game on Joplin's schedule, lt was a hard-fought game from start to finish, but Joplin had a slight edge on their opponents and came out on top in a 7-0 victory. Calhoun exhibited some efficient tackling in the opening game. The Springfield game, played at Spring' field, was exciting even though Joplin came out at the tail end ofa l3-0 score. Erom the moment the opening whistle blew the Joplin Eagles showed that they had what it takes to play football. Joplin received the ball on the l0 yard line: Reniker took the ball and raced to the 30 yard mark where he was tackled, but in the process of being tackled, Reniker lateralled the ball to George Beck, and Beck raced to the Springfield 40 yard line. That's smart football. Each Spring- field score was the direct result of a pass shot over the Joplin backfield. The Joplin-Columbus game, at Columbus, was a very interesting game even if the spec- tators did have to stand in drenching rain to see it. A representative crowd of Joplin people traveled to Columbus to see the game FUUTBALL SEASON 1937 COACH COLLINS In Coach Collins, Joplin High School has the services not only of an outstanding physical director and football coach but also of one who does rnuch to develop that most essential factor in any successful athletic group -- school spirit. Whatever the - final score, we may be justly sure that Bill did his part. and also to see two evenly-matched teams take the Held, but the good old Red and Green dug in their mud cleats and emerged with a 14-Z victory. The Joplin-Miami game, at Miami, saw the Red and Green fall before a powerful and smooth-working football team. Ered Rob- insonfs excellent ball carrying in the last quarter, together with some very good block- ing by the line, held spectator interest to the very end of the game. The Lamar game, which put two strong football teams together, was successful in no small measure. The passing of Gail Hood and the fine running of George Beck made possible most of the 27 points piled up against Lamar, Shaffer and Joe Russell made some flashy runs in the last half of the game. The score was 27-0, Joplin, after giving Lamar a defeat of 27-0, went to Nevada to take on a much heavier team. The Northerners handed the Eagles a 12-0 defeat. Joplin showed great strength in blocking and tackling, but they were not able to push over a touchdown. In the last minutes of play Joplin advanced the ball to the eight yard line. There the stronger and much heavier line of the Tigers held the Eagles. I fly The Joplin-Neosho game, played on Jop- lin's gridiron, gave the spectators a very in- teresting game to watch. Joplin ran the ball down into Neosho's half of the field for a long time, but the Neosho Wildcats had their day and downed Joplin l2-7. Some fine playing was done by Tommy Legg and Joe Pappas, both guards. Pappas has the ability to block the opponents' punts. One of the closest games of the season was that at Carthage. Both teams were evenly- matched and no one knew what the out- come was to be. The superb blocking and excellent teamwork displayed by our line helped the Red and Green emerge with a 7-6 victory. The touchdown was the result of a series of passes, Beck to McCulley and Hood to Chapman, Chapman made the counter. Joplin didn't win at Pittsburg, and wasn't expected to win against the powerful array thrown against it, but the Red and Green scored three touchdowns, resulting from re- turn kick oHfs and intercepted passes - an unusual and creditable feat. Bob McCulley made a pretty run for a touchdown after catching a Pitt kickoff. The score ended 27-18 in Pittsburg's favor. Coach Collins's boys don't mind losing to a good team like Springfield, but the Red and Green showed the Bulldogs that they were really tough. It was apparent that both the Joplin and Springfield teams were putting forth their best efforts, and although the score was 20-O in favor of Springfield, the game was much closer than the score would seem to indicate.

The program has been varied in nature, contain- ing both humorous and thought-provoking num- bers. Among the best programs of this year were a hill billy skit by Le Roy Day, Bernard Hinkle, Daniel Swindell, and Carl Schreiner and a talk on Annapolis by Dale Mahan. Forum members have served the school this year in whatever capacity they were needed. They have, furthermore, been well represented in extra- curricular activities, especially in football, in the senior class play, in track, and in officers in the R. O, T, C. Officers of the society have very satisfactorily filled their positions. Those elected to serve dur- ing the first semester: Bernard Hinkle, president, Louie Lange, vice presidentg Wilbur Byer, secre- tary: Joe Nelson, treasurer: and Roy Farnham, sergeant-at-arms. During the second semester, Wilbur Byer was president: Gordon Calhoun, vice president, Joe Papas, secretary, Paul Stevens, treasurerg and Dan Swindell, sergeant-at-arms. The highlight of the social events held during the year was the spring picnic held in May, The Gavel and Quill, one of the most popular societies in the school, was organized February 5, 1923. The society motto. The pen is mightier than the sword, may be properly translated to mean that members are interested in better writing and speaking. The society flower is the Ophelia rose: the colors, blue and rose. There are forty-four members this year, and it has been the aim of the society to have every member appear on the program at least once during the year. The programs have been varied, among the best of which were a talk by Mr. Deatherage, our principal: a talk, by Mr. William Markwardt: and a moving picture shown by David Blair. There were elected in September the following officers: Everett Reniker, president: Dick Mills, vice president: David Blair, secretaryg David Re- millard, treasurer: Jim Gillie, sergeant-at-arms, and Mrs. Ulrici, sponsor. Everett Reniker resigned to conform with a school rule limiting offices, Dick Mills then became president and William Owen, vice president. Mrs. Ulrici found it neces- sary to resign and Mr. Dyer became our sponsor. The chief social functions of the year were: a mixer at John LefTen's in September: a stag alumni Mget-together at Jim Leonard's during the holidaysg and the climax of all, a banquet on April 23.

The name was derived from the ancient custom of the wearing of masks by those who were performing. The club's motto is All the world's a stage. The people are the actors. The society flower is the gardeniag the colors, black and white. All members, thirteen girls and thirteen boys, are studying or have studied speech in school. The first play given by the Maskers this year was My Cousin from Sweden, which was pre- sented on Friday, January 28. The cast was an all-girl one, including Mary Liddane Reid, Billye Grattis, Jane Jackson, Lorene Myers, Marjorie Parker, Barbara Cofer, and Mary Lee Kitto. The society has pride also in the success of John Beal, one of its former members. The officers were elected to serve for the year: Lorene Myers, president: Bob Johnson, vice presi- dentg Jane Jackson, secretary: Billye Marie Grattis, treasurer: Mr. Roy Greer is the sponsor: Mrs. Ulrici, the honorary sponsor. The only social event of the year was the annual banquet held on May 6, at the Womans Club. The Athenaeum Literary Society was organized January 27, l9Z7, The ideals of the society have become the motto: Character, purity, democ- racy, The organization selected the carnation for its flowerg and the combination blue and gold for its colors. The purpose of the society is to broaden one's appreciation of current problems and to promote interest in public speaking. The programs of the year have concerned changes in the World in which we live. The topics have dealt with international, national, and community problems. Members are encouraged to participate in discussions. These officers were elected to serve throughout the school year: Johnny Beck, presidentg Ken- neth Smith, vice presidentg Homer Brigance, secre- tary: Olen Reding. treasurer: Warren Moult. ser- geant-at-arms: and Judson Dixon, reporter. ln September a mixer was enjoyed in the home of Kenneth Smith for the purpose of becoming better acquainted With prospective pledges. Then, on April 22, a dance was given. Virtually every member, with a guest, was present. The society was represented in various extra- curricular activities. Under the guidance of Mr. Vawter, the mem- bers have been led to cultivate a spirit of unselfish- ness, to appreciate the value of cooperation, and to Work consciously to attain a Worthwhile goal. 5,55 0 E 2 lg' , f 'L Second Row - - Nlr.

The aim of the society is to promote friendship among senior girls, This aim is carried out eifectively by their activities. The society was organized March 8, 1926, by their present sponsor, Mrs. Chestnut. During this time they have been active in sports, dramatics, and other school activities. They have the sug- gestive motto of More beyond. The society has had interesting and varied programs during the year. These are given careful thought in their preparation so that only interesting and Worthwhile programs will be given, The luncheon held March the tenth, was in honor of their thirteenth birthday anniversary. Esther Cooper was elected president to serve for two semesters. The other officers are as fol- lows: vice president, Irene White: secretary, Marie Parker: treasurer, Margaret Tylerg program chairman, Mildred Yelverton: reporter, Maralee Fullerton: sergeant-at-arms, Orvetta McCoy: and parliamentarian, Eula Mae Gilbreath. The Olympiad Society was organized Febru- ary 29, 1926. The name Olympiad was derived from the famed Mount Olympus, where the Greek gods were supposed to have dwelt. Their aim is to encourage interest in modern arts, literature, sciences, inventions, and similar topics. The pro- grams during the year consisted of talks, debates, dramatic and humorous readings, music, and book reviews. The Olympiads' annual banquet was held January 22. The Big Apple theme was car- ried out in the decorations and program. They united with the Gavel and Quill Society to present a unique assembly April 8. The setting repre- sented an old-fashioned schoolroom and a modern one. A typical Friday afternoon program was given by the pigtailed girls and mischievous boys of the old school. In sharp contrast to this was the singing and dancing of the informal modern school. Officers for the first semester were: president, Jayne Haughawout, vice president, Jane Jackson: secretary, Jeanne Keith: treasurer, Mary Liddane Reid: program chairman, Lorene Myers: social chairman, Billye Grattisg sergeant-at-arms, June Cutler. The officers elected for the second semester were: president, Mary Alice Bennett: vice president, Jeanne Keith: secretary, Edith Archeyg treasurer, Lynn Craging social chairman, Billye Grattisg program chairman, Lorene Myers, and sergeant- at-arms, Vivienne Breeden. 4 ..- ot fi W' nip' tt, ,W .. 11- 1 N 3 40' Fourth Row-Vivienne Breeclen, Char- lotte XVise, Mary Louise Leggett, Eleanor Hamm, Carolyn Henderson, Nlartha Falk.

Eighty-one PALETTE and BRUSH l The Palette and Brush Club was organized in 1934 for the tvvo-fold purpose of creating within the members a desire to produce something artistic and of developing the ability to appreciate the better things in art. It is hoped that such train- ing will prove really beneficial to the members. These artists have accomplished many things dur- ing the ive years they have been organized. The felt emblems which are seen neatly attached to the mutli-colored sweaters of many members of the student body are made by members of the club. They participate in several lines of art work: namely, painting in water colors or oils, knitting, fancy needle work, and costume designing. The aim of the club is to further all forms of art in the high school, particularly to encourage interest in sketching, designing, and commercial advertis- ing. There are thirty-four of these up-and-com- ing artists. ln their meetings this year, they have been doing some intensive study in home decora- tions, All art and no play make Mary a dumb girl, so they have gala social occasions too. They had a delightful covered dish supper in September at the home of Lucille Alper. As Christmas rolled around they celebrated again at Helen Ben- ton's spacious residence. Officers for both semesters are as follows: president, Verna Sill: vice president, Marie Mason: secretary, Vera Sill: treasurer, Sarah Merle Whip- ple: reporter, Betty Wicks: program chairman, Francess Von Erdmannsdorif: sergeant-at-arms, Helen Benton. Courage, loyalty, honesty, cooperation-the aim of the Atalantian Society is to build in its members these qualities. With such an aim the Atalantians are bound to reach the highest of heights. Besides these high ideals they have for their inspiration Atalanta from whom their name is derived. The Atalantians have also an athletic reputation to maintain. With these goals to pursue, what Won't these Atalantians do? They have forty-seven members at the present time. The society was organized September 26, 1929. One Week their meeting is converted into an educational as well as entertaining program while the next week it is divided into both a program and business meeting. The sponsor of this enterprising society is Miss Susan Haswell. Their annual banquet was held March 25. The very original and unique theme of ships Was carried out. The first semester officers were Ruth Parker, president: Martha Scheurich, vice president: Vieune Prigg, secretary: Marjorie Wommack, treasurer: June Thurman, reporter: Muriel Byer, program chairman: Margaret Snoddy, parliamen- tarian: and Lorene Ochsenbein, critic.

PHILU PHRUNIANS Eighty-three The Philo Phronian Society, which was organ- ized in 1931, has the very significant meaning for its name of Forward ever, backward never. They excel in athletics and fine sportsmanship under the able direction of their sponsor, Miss Krieckhaus. The Philo Phronian aim is to create interest in the best literature and to study the different countries through travel talks. They have had many interesting programs about travels in the various countries. A memorable one Was the de- lightful and extensive trip through England. Several outstanding social affairs during the year included the guest feast for the purpose of enter- taining prospective members, a very unique box supper held in October, and a successful Thanks- giving and Christmas program. The annual spring banquet was held March 26. First semester oHicers were Beth Ann Tipton, president: Imogene Sullenger, vice president: Cathryn Ball, secretary: Selma Dee, reporter: Gladu Bonebrake, sergeant-at-arms: Joan Burton, parliamentarian. Second semester officers were Beth Ann Tipton, president: Joan Burton, vice president: Martha McCarthy, secretary: Jeanette Gardner, treasurer: Mary Louise Austin, reporter: Ella Marine Camp- bell, sergeant-at-arms: Norma .lean Kee, parlia- mentarian. T What is a senior's highest ambition about the last of March? Oh, no, not to be Robert Tay- lor's leading lady or Eleanor Powell's leading man! It's something even better than that. lmaginel Yes, to be a National Honor Society member. This is the highest honor a senior can possibly obtain. My, how eagerly everyone looks forward to the assembly which announces the lucky ones' names+including perhaps one's own name. The aim of the National Honor Society is to give recognition to the fifteen per cent of the stu- dents who excel in scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The members of the society are chosen by the faculty from the twenty-five per cent of the senior class having the highest average grades the three years in high school. The Joplin chapter of the National Honor Society was organized in February, l926. The first chapter was that of the Fifth Avenue High School, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There are now 2,056 chapters of the National Honor Society in the high schools of the United States.

STUDENT COUNCIL Eighty-:ive The Student Council was organized in the fall term of 1928. The Council is an advisory body for the students and helps the school by promot- ing good citizenship, and sponsoring worthwhile projects for the betterment of the school, It con- sists of thirty-four members, each one being the representative of his home room, The Student Council has accomplished much valuable work in 1937-38. They sponsored a very original Thanksgiving pep assembly. Twelve baskets were distributed at Thanksgiving. On March 4, the Council sponsored an assembly entitled The Hall of Fame. On this occasion Jayne Haughawout gave the prologue: Merlin Stratton was the interpreter. The Council, with the help of the School Board finished the pay- ments on the talking picture machine as their annual project. They also bought educational films for each line of study. Officers for both semesters are: president, Jayne Haughawout: vice president, Everett Reni- kerg secretary, Bernard Hinkle: treasurer, Dick Millsg sergeant-at-arms, David Remillard: re- porter, Mary Lee Kittog parliamentarian, Ruth Eisen. f .

IN ACTION MUSIC Under the careful guidance of Chief Coulter, Joplin's musical organizations have developed into six outstand- ing units: orchestra, band, girls' glee club, boys' glee club, girls' drum corps, and mixed chorus. The orchestra is perhaps the best known unit of the music department because of the national and state contest honors it has won. The aims of the music de- partment of our school are to educate students to an ap- preciation of the finer types of music and to aid students to progress in the develop- ment of whatever musical talent they may have. At assembly and concert performances, the entire stu- dent body is introduced to classical versions of chorales, fugues, and symphonies. One of the most enter- taining and beautiful rendi- tions of the mixed chorus this year was the Christmas Choralogue. The setting was so arranged that at the height of the song all that was visible was the great star in the East, brightly burn- ing. This was followed by an orchestra concert in which was used a set of chimes con- structed by the theory classes. Joplin High School's music department brings re- nown to the school and city, and makes available to stu- dents and townspeople alike, really inspiring and satisfy- ing music. First and fore- most, however, it makes pos- sible a really worthwhile per- sonal achievement in music for scores of young men and women. ligblq mm' T. FRANK COULTER Supervisor of Music in Joplin Schools In Mr, Coulter, Joplin has one of the nation's out- standing high school music directors. He has been director of music in the Joplin Schools for a score of years. During this time the music department in Joplin High School has been continually progressing. VJhen Mr. Coulter took over his musical duties, the high school orchestra was composed of twenty-five pieces. The other musical units were small and of no particular distinction. Today, when we speak of our music department, we think of our one hundred piece nationally known symphony orchestra, the seventy- Iive piece concert band, the girls' drum corps, and the boys' and girls' glee clubs-all rated as outstanding high school units. The chief desire of Mr. Coulter is to give to young people, an appreciation and understanding of fine music. In view of the attitudes and accomplishments of former and present high school students, Mr. Coulter may rest assured that his objective is being achieved in a highly satisfactory manner. wg' K V, gg , 5 Q?

The D 1, Gllee fl Clubs Among the music organizations of Joplin High School the glee clubs play an important part toward making the public music conscious. This year they have been very successful in their public appearances. They were invited on two special occasions to sing before the Kiwanis club. Their appearance at the Christmas Concert was enthusiastically received. Not only have the residents of the surrounding vicinity been fortunate in hearing this group perform several times on the school radio programs, but the members of the glee clubs also have been benefited by having the opportunity to do so. They have overcome that terrible complex mike consciousness. They climaxed their year's practice and study by render- ing distinguished musical selections at the Spring Concert, These talented groups are composed of approximately, thirty-five boys and forty-live girls, who meet once a week as a combined group and twice a week separately. The study afforded is of two divisions: vocal culture, which is the training or refining of the voice: and learning reper' toire, the study of a stock of famous songs, operas, and various musical selections. The main purpose of the glee clubs is to help boys and girls learn to appreciate the various types and meanings of music. By doing this they may, in the years to come, fill their lives with enjoyment through the beauty to be found there. The learning and training received in the glee clubs will forever be a cherished possession of its members, GIRLS' GLEE CLUB BOYS' GLEE CLUB Second Row- Martha Xlurphy, llda Jean Lippitt, Loyce Montaltlo, Helen Benton, Barbara Cofer. livelyn Rae Collings, Patricia Charlton, Mary Louise Goheen. lilizabeth Degginger, Jane Lough, .lune Stevens.

This year four bugles and eight fifes have been added to the corps, Their striking appearance as a unit is enhanced by their change of uniform for alternate occasions. The uniforms consist of white skirts, white blouses, and cloaks or jackets of brilliant red, On one appearance they wear the cloaks, and on the next they change to new red jackets. The girls gave a performance at almost every home football game and at two out-of-town games. They also visited the American Royal in Kansas City. An invitation to attend this outstanding show has been offered to this organization for many years. The Drum Corps has worked out four new drills this year, and these with the others, are presented in parades and public performances of all kinds. To belong to this organization, a girl must have earned a minor HJ in some musical contest, and it is one of the greatest honors of Joplin High to be a member.

And then there's 'Chief' and the boys swinging it again. Fiddling around, as usual, our camera man saw some fiddles sawing. Now, let's see, did we get that right? There are t h e red-jackets showing us how it's done. In that next picture, a bass fiddle seems to get in our way, but we are able to dis- tinguish the band and drum corps in a joint formation. Ditto in the next. ln the lower right we see some more o f o u r music makers, and we agree with them that they have something to blow about. 'X rgf Major Elmer R. Block rg-Eve The R. C. T. C. The Reserve Officers' Training Corps of Joplin High School is composed of boys from all three grades in the school. Besides military tactics and rules, it teaches the boys discipline and courtesy to their superiors. Physical exercises are given to build better men. Of course. military science and drill are emphasized in special courses. Each boy has one military science class and a drill class every Week. Each year the unit is inspected by an officer of this area. The perfection of the drill and the knowledge of the members of the corps are taken into consideration. Only the highest ranking R. O. T. C. units are placed on the honor roll. Being one of them is a great honor, and Joplin hopes to Cadet Colonel and Sponsors make it this year as she has so often in the past. Our corps is under the control of the War Department, and our commandant, Major Block, is an officer in the regular army. Sergeant E. Treager comes to Joplin this year as our new drill instructor, The highest rank in the corps, that of Colonel, has been held this year by Gail Hood. ln order that the unit may be graced by a bit of feminine charm. it has been customary to have three girl sponsors who hold honorary commissions.

Corps is the executive body of the regiment, The Staff is composed of Cadet Colonel Gail Hood, Honorary Cadet Colonel Jane Jackson, Adjutant. Major Bernard Hinkle. Major William Thomas, First Lieutenant Tom Fenix, and Second Lieuten- ant XVarren Stout. lt is this select body which reviews the corps at our Wednesday morning parades. ln any military organization the executive of- ficer of a unit has a staff whose duty it is to advise and assist the commander in matters of ad- ministration. The purpose of our R. O. T, C. staff is to familiarize student officers with such a staff organization and the nature of its duties, --Q X A good yearbook always has the same aim-to present an ac- curate and interesting record in word and picture of the year's events. The l938 staff has tried to do this in such a way that this year's Joplimo will be one of last- ing interest and usefulness to those who, throughout the years, will turn through its pages. The task has not been an easy one, but in the main, it has been a pleasant one, Editor and busi- ness manager with their depart- ment heads have done much plan- ning, organizing, and supervising, and no small amount of detailed work. Literally hundreds of pictures were taken by our staff photo- graphers in their efforts to present pictures of students and faculty members engaged in the various activities of school life. The artists have prepared sketches for reproduction and numerous posters. Preparation of photos and art material for engraving was done by a photo- mounting editor and two assist- ants. The typists have filed, checked, and typed ad infinitum. The ad crew has gone over the top in a highly successful cam- paign, and the sale of annuals has been efficiently handled by the circulation department. The writers have done a large amount of pencil chewing, paper crumpling, and hair rumpling- and have finally produced, after much suffering, the required pieces of copy. All in all, it has been a big year, and now-well, we've published another Joplimo.

At bottom right, artist Betty Busey obliges our camera man with a smile. Publishing a school newspaper is a lot of fun Qand a lot of work, as the l938 Spyglass staff can tes- tifyb. The Spyglass is published every two weeks, consists of from four to six pages, and attempts to give complete coverage to all events of interest to the students of Joplin High School. To be successful, a newspaper staff must know what really con- stitutes news for its reader group, and it must know the sources of such news. Not only that, it must be eternally on the alert to see that such news reaches its readers through its columns. There must be editors to plan assignments, to see that every- thing is covered, and that enough of each particular type of article is provided for. There must be reporters, editorialists, and feature writers to pour grist into the mill. A corps of typists is needed to make copy presentable. Into the hands of a business manager and his assistants is en- trusted the task of selling adver- tising and managing circulation. Newspapers do cost money, you know. The student journalists receive a training in written expression that is very valuable, and the busi- ness staff, an experience in practi- cal business that no class room course alone can duplicate.

The Hnal debate, however, was not held until March 29, All debates were held on the following ques- tion: Resolved, That the several states should adopt the unicameral system of legislationfl Previous to the regular tournament, seventy- two students had on various days participated in debates on this question. Those who con- tinued their work into the tournament of March l9 are as follows: Bette Ruth Davis and Betty Rowton, Leffen Pflug and Roy Lee Daniels, Lillian Shaw and Vivian Boyd, Doris Hammers and Martha Scheurich, Joan Wheeler and Estelle Cookerly, and Joe Snyder and Ed Earmerwall on the alfirmative side: and Bob Lankford and Jim Gillie, Virginia Tyler and La Nita Gambill, Glenda Muhlenburg and Nelle Louise De Vaney, Shirley Zimmerman and Norma Rayl, Verla Jackson and Willa Mae Gilbreath, and Charles Lewis and Judson Dixon-all on the negative side. Those who reached and participated in the final debate were Joe Snyder and Ed Earmer for the affirmative and Charles Lewis and Judson Dixon for the negative. The judges were Mrs. Claude Allen, Mrs, Henry Hamilton, and Mrs. G. G. Goheen. The aHirmative side won, thereby receiving the loving cup. Ed Farmer and Charles Lewis, those receiving the best ranking throughout the tournament, were awarded five dollars each. Each of the four Hnalists received a letter, Miss Kathryn Moran, debate coach, was in charge of details for the tournamentg and also coached the state debate team, the extempo- raneous speakers, and those competing in origi- nal orations. KJHIII just Under Mrs. Dora C. Ulrici, dramatics coach, the students of Joplin High School have achieved a place of distinction in the various fields of dramatic speech Work. The depart- ment's primary aim is to develop poise, correct and pleasing speech habits, and attractive per' sonality. This year the dramatics division of the speech department undertook three projects: First. the students of the advanced speech class conducted broadcasts over radio station WMBH for a period of eighteen weeks. The second was a speech tournament, held here on January 29, With fifteen schools from the Tri-State district participating. Joplin took first place in the tournament, With John Leffen, Ed Farmer, Robert Lankford, and Eddie Lou James all taking first honors in their specialties. Everett Reniker, Jayne Haugha- wout, Marie Reeves, and Merlin Stratton took second place in their fields. The dramatics students also presented a series of one-act plays, some given before mem- bers of the class only, While others Were given before outside audiences. As usual, the two outstanding accomplish- ments of the dramatics department Were the annual junior and senior class plays. The junior play this year was A'China Boy. 'It was enthusiastically received by a large audi- ence. Members of the cast were: David Butcher, Kenneth McClintick, Lucille Robb, Glenn Goodman, Lillian Shaw, Bette Davis, Jean Bothwell, Vivian Boyd, Erank Eear and Gene Burke. Bookholders were Vieunne Prigg and Alice Earnham. The senior class play, A'Your Money or Your Wife, was a rollicking comedy built around a typical new rich family. The play was presented before a capacity audience which was obviously Well pleased with the performance. Members of the cast Were: Daniel Swindell, Vonda Rose Thomp- son, Howard Cozad, Ruth Nixon, Billye Grattis, Merlin Stratton, Beverly Setser, La Deane Mount, Bernard Hinkle, Jayne Haugha- wout, Jack Guinnee, Margaret Ann Scott, Leonard Chapman, Bernice Krill, Elaine McDonald, Jane Jackson, Lorene Myers, and Carolyn McGaughey. Bookholders Were Mar- garet Morris and Mary Louise Farrar. SPEECH Senior Class Play Top Left-Hinkle, the detective. seems to have made a discovery.

This year's work has been carried on under the Extension Division of the University of Missouri. For work successfully completed, credit is given at the University. The expectations are that the work of the second year will be added next fall, thus pro- viding a full two-year junior college course. The curriculum will be so planned as to provide arts and science, pre-professional, and terminal courses. The latter will probably include business, teacher training, technical, and musical courses. ln spite of the fact that our college is still in its infancy, we have witnessed a year full of activities. ln the following pages, the students of the Junior College Wish to present a partial record of the events of the first year.

Directed by Mrs. Iris Korn, the play was repeated by popular demand one month later. The story deals with a middle-class American family in which there are two grown daugh- ters and a society-bound mother to complicate matters for the hard- working father. The turbulent romances of the daughters, the social aspirations of Mom, and the final rebellion of the hen-peeked father provide the theme for the mad-cap comedy.

That was the terse comment of many grisled veterans of the football field last fall as they watched Joplin Junior College battle. For the new college not only organized a team after two weeks of classes, but plunged without hesitation into intercollegiate competition. Games were played with outstanding teams of the dis- trict, and although our team won no games, we are proud of their record. The strong Monett Junior College team was held score- less through almost three quarters of play. The team also held its own remarkably well against Miami and Coffeyville Junior Col- lege teams and against the reserve squads from Pittsburg Teachers College and Spring- field Teachers College. First touchdown honors went to Frank Mitts as a beautiful passing attack succeeded against the Spring- Held Teachers. The team was coached by E. O. Hum- phrey, who was for many years coach at Joplin High School. Coach Humphrey took a small group of boys-there were no reserves-who came from schools all over the district, and who played all kinds of foot- ball, and welded them into a team worthy of a veteran school. i BASKETBALL The most successful venture of the new junior college into the sports world this year was in the Held of basketball, The team Won about sixty per cent of its games, playing both junior colleges and independent teams. In the Open League competition at the Y. Nl. C. A. court, our boys finished in a tie for second place with the Joplin Horseshoe team. The team also entered two independent tourna- ments--the Anderson Tournament and the Four-State Tournament at Joplin- and went to the semi-finals in each. ln the Four-State Meet the junior college defeated two very strong teams, the Co- lumbus ICA team C38-35j, and the Wyandotte All-American Indians Q32- 205. Walter Wheeler, physical director at the Y. M. C. A., coached the team. The season was so crowded that local news- papers referred to the junior college as Hthe team which plays every night, Headed by Captain Shelby Slinker, the team in- cluded Delmer Strait, Bert Spencer, Jim Attebury, Bayred Vermillion, Donald Russell, and Bob Lawson. When Law- son was forced by unavoidable circum- stances to drop school at the height of the season, George Beck stepped in and filled his shoes well in the remaining games. The climax of the season was the fast, closely-contested game in which Joplin defeated Ft, Scott Junior College on the Joplin High School court. We mowed 'em down! Above are a few scenes from a busy and highly successful season. The games were fast, as can be seen from the pictures. Delmer Strait, Bayred Vermillion, Shelby Slinker, Don Russell, Leonard Duncan, Jim Attebury, Bert Spencer, Coach Wheeler. Um' llumlruri Twenly It BASKETBALL REVIEW The basketball team practiced in the afternoons at the Y. M. C. A., and played most of the home games on the Y. M. C. A. court. The Eort Scott and Monett Junior College games were played in the high school gymnasium. Our team broke even with Fort Scott, losing there and winning here, and with Drury, winning here and losing at Springneld in a close game. In open league play the team held two victories over the Joplin Oilers, two over the Anderson Athletic Club, and two over the Rex Recreations team of Webb City, and lost one game each to the Columbus IGA team, the Joplin Horseshoes, and the Atlas team. Junior College teams from Miami and lylonett also scored victories over our team. Three players from our team were ranked in first, second, and third places in the Open League as outstanding scorers: Strait, with 99 points, Slinker, with 88 points, and Spencer, with 81 points. This record speaks well of the team which made those scores possible, TRACK REVIEW A nucleus for a fair track team was constituted by the following men: Ray- mond Ely, Elby Butcher, John Garrett, Boyd Prince, and Jack Cooper. These men worked diligently under the supervision of Duke Dyer, track coach. Due to the fact that various complications arose, it was necessary to cancel sev- eral scheduled meets with other colleges in the district. Next year, however, it is expected to have a full track schedule. In order that those men who have displayed such commendable spirit might find some sort of reward for their efforts, three college relay races were run as a special attraction in the Joplin Relays. The men who competed were as follows: John Garrett, Jack Cooper, Elby Butcher, Don Russell. Dick Gardner, and Joe Van Pool. O H lred 'I wenfq-tl QSWWMAH, SUPERVISOR of MUSIC JUNIOR COLLEGE CHORUS One of the most popular organizations this year was the college chorus. Although still in its infancy, this group has appeared several times on both the high school and college assembly programs. To Mr. T. Frank Coulter, who has been supervisor and director of public school music and has taught both high school and college groups, should go much credit for the success of this organization, because of his competent direction. The activities of the chorus have been limited, and little publicity has been received, since it was impossible to arrange road trips or competition With other colleges this season. However, the organization has been a source of satisfaction to those college students who like to sing. Back Rown-Harold Lloyd, John Hargis, Bill Eogg, Jimmy James, Martin Mcflammon, 'ltd Eberle, V.

Shim- mering blue cellophane, melodious music, and a serenade by Eddie Lanes orchestra are only a few of the pleasant memories of the Herculean banquet, Major Block was so modest at the mili- tary ball that our camera man had to chase him all over the floor, and even then he wouldn't show us his face. The Sigma Gamma Lambdas seem very happy on their anniversary day. Whether that's due to the fact that they were released from class a quarter of an hour earlier for their repast wasn't exactly decided. But they are happy arent they? Next we see a section of Ernie Williamson's orchestra going to town at the military dance. Charley, the camera man doing his duty again. Only this time, when he said boo he frightened Sargeant Treager's wife. Pingpong experts CU at the Aspasian banquet.
