Sincerely yours, l'lfE:JT N ,.u' X JU P HH HIGH Mr. Harris, a kindly, patient man, has been president of the Board of Educa- tion of the Joplin Public Schools for eight successive years. His services have been both cheerfully and completely rendered, and his personality is reflected in a gracious, pleasing manner of accepting responsibilities. A member of the school board for live years prior to the office he now holds, he has never in all this time missed a football or a basketball game except when illness kept him away. For a man Whose duties are so greahfthe management and direction of all teachers and faculty members, the overseeing of all schools in a competent manner, and the hearing of all complaints set up before the school board, he has indeed been kept busy. However, he enjoys this type of work immensely and is happy in doing his daily tasks. 'I rn S. H. HHHHIS PRESIDENT Joplin Board of Edoooilon The members of the Board of Education are truly the silent partners of this educational firm of ours. The honors and achievements of which We are so justly proud, are in a large measure due to the foresight and service of these people, The students of Joplin High School, through this page, express their grati- tude both to the members of the board and to the citizens of Joplin to Whose interest and sacrifice they are indebted for this ex- cellent school of ours.

Many times We have been asked to demonstrate our strength, and each time we have received the desired results.

Active in participation of all school events and in all extra-curr1cu- I . . . . . ar work, this group of students will live in the memory of those classes that are to follow after them. Perhaps one reason why the Senior Class of '39 is so versatile is because they hail from all parts of America, Birthplaces, as will be seen in the identification pages that follow, range from British Columbia to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Pacilic coast to the Atlantic Coast. Students of this group taking part in various scholastic events have returned with new honors for their school: thus adding to the prestige of Joplin High. Sports have been a particularly strong point of the class of '39, since the members par- ticipated whole-heartedly in football, basketball, and track. taken part in the musical activities of our school. Included among these are: the orchestra, band, girls' glee club, boys' glee club, mixed chorus, and girls' drum corps. Class members have also The two class plays have been outstanding,-'China Boy, a fast-moving comedy, given in the junior year was enthusiastically received by the audience. The Senior play, The Royal Family, while in an entirely dilferent mood also gave a good account of itself. Besides the dramatics, other speech events such as debate, oratory, reading, and extemporaneous speak- ing have had excellent representation from the senior class. The accomplishments of this illustrious group will always remain in the annals of the high school as a reminder to those who will follow-something to which they may look fora wardisomething for which to strive.

Giger, Jr., was outstanding in his short span of life. Let us pause to oH'er our deepest sympathy to one who was taken away at the happiest time of his career. The entire student body and faculty feel deeply the sudden loss ofa Junior member, Russell Siders. His absence leaves a lasting impression in the hearts of all who knew him. V V V l Thirty Thing-ni mafia Qs r L. SIGN HEHEO l939 sees the Juniors standing on the threshold of a new era in their high school life. Looking back they see themselves as bewildered Sophomores who came to Joplin High in 1937. The next year 1938, Iinds them Juniors, eager and willing but perhaps a little self-conscious. They soon master this defect however, and plunge steadily ahead to carve a name for themselves on the family tree of Joplin High. Their success is evident by participation in every activity that Joplin affords. But more important than looking back is looking forward, and the Juniors gaze determinedly into the future: they are resolved to keep up or perhaps surpass the records of past Senior classes.

They have waded through disappoint- ments, scaled the mountain of preliminary facts and acquaintances, and behold, they have emerged triumphant! These diligent Sophomores may, with due praise, boast many well-earned accom- plishments. They have sown the seeds of destiny which will some day blossom into the executives, business managers, writers, musicians, poets, artists, and debaters that will grace these ancient halls of learning in the future. So pause only for a moment, ye seekers of the parchment, lest you forget that upon your strong and capable shoulders, rests the responsibility of future glory-lest you forget that you must take up the torch symbolic of learning and carry it to the highest goal.

S., while a hot autumn sun brought perspiration to the brow of anyone engaged in extensive physical effort, a group of sixty young hopefuls reported to Coach Herrod for football practice. As the daily routine of learning football and its fundamentals pro- gressed, the members of the squad, either because they found no time to devote to football or because of physical handicaps, one by one drifted from practice, until on September 28, when J. H. S. played our nearest neighbor. Webb City. 4l gridiron gladiators represented the best that our High School had to offer. Webb City and Joplin, both playing their first game of the season, fought heroically through four quarters of a truly exciting game. However, as the nnal whistle blew, the score-board read: JOPLIN 6 -. . , . , WEBB CITY 6 On October 6 as Frontenac High School trotted off the Held that had been the meeting place for the matching of wits and strength, we again found ourselves with a score equalized by our opponents. JOPLIN 7 s, as FRONTENAC 7 l.ed by Captain Burleigh DeTar, our early game hero, the Red and Green found a Miami, Oklahoma line too heavy to penetrate, as we went sadly home the evening of October 14 on the little end of a l8-O score. Just as our outlook for a successful 1938 football season was somewhat clouded by ties and a defeat, the silver lining appeared in the form of a decision over Lamar and Nevada. Both games being decisive victories, helped raise the spirits of our team and its followers to a peak which was HOK lowered by a loss to a strong Neosho team, who substantiated their claim to the Big Eight championship from the beginning of the gun to a l4-6 ending. November lO, Loran Shaffer surprised both an unbeaten Carthage team and his teammates with a new type of football when he booted two field goals for a 6-O victory over the favored Carthaginians. I Joplin was defeated by Pittsburg High School team in the most top heavy score of our season, 32-O. Our team, though out-weighed and out-classed by a more experienced team, was undaunted by their powerful opposition and played a dogged, stubborn game. Our last game of the season, the Thanksgiving game with Springfield was in direct contrast with the Pittsburg game, as it was our season's closest game. The Red and Green concluded its '38 season by gallant Hghting, however, the nnal score Was a disappointing 7-6.

No matter how good a team is, there's just no real enthusiasm in a game unless those loyal warriors of the gridiron know in their hearts and see in the grandstand that all their classmates and friends are rooting for them. A typical scene at the Junge Stadium during the football season is the one below. Note the expression of anxiety and tenseness on the faces of all the Joplin rootersl Johnny Martin and Dale Cearnal strain their optical nerves to get a glimpse of the exciting play. Bill Gideon calmly and coolly views the situation. Jeanne and Tom for once seem to be enveloped in the excitement instead of each other. Brogan and Hancock show their amazement at some- thing. Don White and Marjorie Cline, together as usual, watch the game thoughtfully. Joe McCormick appears to be enjoying himself immensely although his pleasure doesn't seem to be coming from the game. Bettie Bacon gazes intently at the thrilling drama being enacted on the football field. Sim- mons is so engrossed that he rises in the excitement. Hart, Williams, and Hastings show their emotions in their facial expressions. As all the Joplinites show their interest and enthusiasm in the game without the slightest regard of appearance, the camera clicked and caught them in an unguarded moment. Although the scene on the gridiron is thrilling, the scene of all those Joplin Eagles in the cheering section rooting for dear old Joplin does something to you. lt seems as if they were all one being. having the same hopes, the same anxiety in danger, the same disappointments in loss, the same happiness in triumph. We may well talk of the hard work that the football team has done this season, and they well deserve all the credits that are given to them, but at this time, it is no more than fair to salute the student body which has backed every game of the season with its untiring support, Fifty Ffflg-.wucn Www. mvwy BHCHEHS-UPPEHS Backers-Uppersnl That is really what they are. It is through the enthusiasm and splendid cooperation of these football fans that our games are a success both financially and morally. This is a typical scene at .lunge Stadium after a victorious game. As they leave the stadium, boys and girls, men and Women, are again making that touchdown, advancing ten yards, or even plan- ning as to the outcome of the next game to be waged by our players. What a crowd! Here are seen policemen Qof course they come to see a good football gamej, cheerleaders, ready to go home after a strenuous sixty minutes, people in cars, trucks, and people a-foot. No matter what may be said, Backers-Uppers are as much a part of the game as the players themselves, A football game just isn't a football game Without them. They come because they enjoy seeing our boysu beat their opponents, and because they like to see a good football game. After the game is over, these people, such as we see in the picture, probably do not realize that it was their cheers, their moral sup- port, their presence, that gave the players courage to go bravely ahead bringing victory to all. gf-ui :iw sag, ,523 6 X' ' QFfQ '5XQii5XQ'6 x W 0 -- f'Q,-- 'S La Ffy 4 HSUHE SIGN O O 0 'I I Q A!

Coach Mikkelsen 99ttiitt 'T'99ii 1939-1999 That was the cry that reechoed from the students and citizens of Joplin alike on that eventful day. But wait-let's begin at the beginning. 'Smiling Jiggsw Nlikkelsen is laughing now, and he has some- thing to laugh about. For neither he nor the school, at the be- ginning of this year expected that five of our J. H. S. cagers would, for the first time in the history of Joplin High School, bring home a Missouri State Basketball championship. However, we should not say that we did not expect such a result, for as we won game after game, we began to wonder at and hope for our team. After we had seen it march victoriously through nine consecutive con- tests, we made an usual discoveryfwe found that as Coach Mikkelsen would say, We had a team that was the answer to a coach's prayer. Our Red and Green was not built around one or two brilliant players as most teams are, instead there were five stars. any one of them more than a match for his opponent, The Joplin team progressed with outstanding success through- out the season, winning two tournaments and defeating our age- old rivals until, on March ll, we were congratulating the State Championship Eagles on the most successful season Joplin High School has ever had. The victory was the signal for feverish excitement with students busily talking of the trophy, the honor, the prestige just won, and they hardly had time for classes. The teachers had a blank memory of assignments, for their minds were those of conquerors. Far o'er the plains of victory as if to ease the situation, the school board held an assembly, which will long be remembered, to congratulate the team. School was dismissed to the intense delight of the student body and a parade marched triumphantly down Main Street to exclaim to the world that we were champions. But as the banners were thrown aside and the turmoil of cheers and shouts died away, we saw Coach Mikkelsen, this smile gonel, moving slowly down the steps of the high school, muttering to himself, How can I do it again next year? S1 xl if BHSHETBHLL I938-1939 And while Coach Mikkelsen is sadly ravaging through his bag of tricks and strategy with which to win next year, he need go no farther than the J. H. S. B team, who this year has dis- tinguished itself as one of the best in the district. Although the B team is present at every game and battles desperately for the supremacy of the score board, the fans rarely know who they are, The cheers for them are scattered and not completely organized, yet they, too, are upholding the traditions and honor of J. H. S. They are lighting with determination, that the followers of our high school will be proud of the school which they support. In a measure, however, there is an unfairness to them, for while the A team warded off all opposition to win the State Cham- pionship, the HB team had an impressive record winning l8 out of 20 games. Not only should we consider that our B team lost only two games, but we should also recognize the fact that the two losses were not to HB teams, but to A squads, one of which our HA team met. The B team, as the HA team, was made up of five excellent players, not one or two. They knew basketball: its tricks and its fundamentals. Mr. Herrod, the B team coach, has had a difficult task this year: he had to take boys from the east and west, the north and the south and teach them to play as a unified team. He, as well as the boys, should be congratulated. Thus in ending this year the Joplimo makes a prediction for next year in the following limerick: Mr. lVlikkelsen's grinning again, He's sure that he's going to win. He's seen his UB team And the record it seems Will take him from 'lout on a limb. 5 xtrf-or' B TEAM Coach Herrod Beverly Sours Max Bard Don Atterbury Shade Wallen Floyd Barnes Joe Calbeck Joe Cooley Bill Humphrey Roger Edgar Norman Owens Dick Cronin Johnny Martin Jack Rayl Taking the ball out of its baskcif Did you cver see such a play? l'll bel Ross Burns gcls ii Hrst.

Sixrqamfe The Joplin High School track team began the '39 season slightly later than has been the practice in previous years, due to the weather conditions. The team up to the present time has had three meets-County, Webb City, and Carthage. In the first two encounters, Joplin displayed excellent form in all the events by winning three-fourths of the possible firsts. The first loss Was at the hands of Carthage, Where, for the first time, one of our best relay teams was defeated. Facing the squad are two principal meets,-that of Springfield and the state meet at Columbia, in which Joplin placed second last year. They are gunning for first this year. What the out- come can be we can only hope, but we wish the team all the success possible. iw?

So it is only natural that every adequate school system has athletic activities for girls as Well as boys. Although girls' athletics are not stressed as much as boys' ath- letics, still there is much interest and competition in the tournaments among the different gym classes. Among the competitive sports are basketball, baseball, volley ball, and tennis. The tournaments are con- ducted in a very systematic Way. ln each gym class a contest is held and the winner of each class plays the Winners of the other classes until a winning team is determined. ln these competitions courtesy to oppos- ing teams is a predominate feature. Sportsmanship and fair play are also stressed. Besides competitive sports, the year's program also includes other activities. Marching routines are Worked out in every class and exer- cises are introduced to encourage good posture and equilibrium. The aim of the girls' physical edu- cation department is not necessarily to make a good athlete out of the girl but to develop her personality, and to teach her sportsmanship and cooperation. Sixty-seven Roxie Ellen Smith and Alice Cale stand stiffly at attention. Madeline Campbell guards Virginia Tyler with true basketball spirit. Betty Jo Cable waits determinedly for the pitch while Elizabeth Deggenger is prepared for anything.

Twice a Week these girls forget their books and indulge in a Variety of active sports in the gymnasium. Here they learn to co-operate by working together, and many new acquaintances are made. lt affords a rest for tired minds as well as freedom from cares. Judging from the general appearance of the girls, from their spirit of lead- ership, and from their friendly attitude toward life. we feel that they have achieved commendable results. if el y L. llunsday LUHEHE Ulf BU Hllllll HERE Nine-Thirty - Thursday -- All look forward to this dayithis hour -Society Hour.

From Mount Olympus, the home of the Greek gods, the society took its name. The modest, yet exquisite violet seemed to be the appropriate flower as a symbol of the organiza- tion, and from it the colors of lavender and green were taken as the society colors. OHicers elected for the Hrst semester Were: Presi- dent, Bette Davisg Vice-president, Barbara Thomasg Secretary, Jean Bothwell: Treasurer, Marjorie Clineg Reporter, Margaret Bull: Sergeant-at-arms, Betty Paytong and Program Chairman, Bettie Bacon. A mixer for prospective members was held in Septem- ber. A re-election of officers was held at the mid- term and new officers elected Were: Jean Bothwell, Vice-president: Betty Rowton, Secretary: Mary Jane Stewart, Reporterg Barbara Thomas, Sergeant-at- arms: and Betty Payton, Social Chairman. A ban- quet honoring the State Basketball Champions and the basketball squad, under the supervision of Mrs. Ulrici, the society sponsor, was held in March, in the high school cafeteria. Hawaii was the theme carried out in the annual banquet at the Woman's Club on March 24. Olympiad Day and a party for the senior girls closed the activities of the year. --r SHPPHUHIHHS The Sapphonian Literary Society was established in September, 1923, by Mrs. Frank Dobkins, then Mildred Boucher, a teacher. The name l'Sappho- nian is derived from Sappho, the Greek goddess of poetry. Society colors are blue and gold, its flower the jonquil, and the motto A man's reach shall exceed his grasp-or what is Heaven for? To further the literary and social contacts of its mem- bers and to promote the interests of Joplin High School, its students, and the community, is the society's aim. This year, Sapphonians are proud to boast of fifteen new members. The guest feast took place September 10. One of the most important affairs on the school calendar was the football banquet which was held at Roberts' on December 20. Ap- proximately one hundred seventy-five persons at- tended a formal dinner-dance given March 23 by the Sapphonians in cooperation with the Herculeans. Last year the Sapphonians entertained all of the girls' literary societies at a tea and for variety this year, brought Miss Rebecca Fahrig, former Sapphonian, to speak to the societies about her trip abroad. On Sapphonian Day the members wore blue and yellow corsages and entertained with a buffet supper and line party. The senior farewell party was given in May.

The motto chosen for the society Was, The Pen is mightier than the Sword. The flower is the ophelia rose: the colors blue and white. At the farewell party held last year at Schimmer- horn Park, the following officers were elected for the '38-'39 school year: President, Jim Gillie: Vice- president, David Blair: Secretary, Johnny Martin: Treasurer, Lee McKee: Reporter, Don Hancock: Sergeant-at-arms, Burleigh DeTar. Al Bethel served as program chairman throughout the year. This year the boys were fortunate in getting Coach Herrod for their director and leader. The mixer, one of the main events of the year, was held at the home of David Blair. The first of the G. Q. assemblies was presented in December. A second assembly saw the Gavel and Quill Swing Orchestra and musical features in- troduced to the school. The annual banquet, with Tennis as the theme, was held April ll, at the Woman's Club. The society concluded their successful season with a fare- Well stag party. ERCULEHHS The Herculeans, Joplin High School's first liter- ary society, was organized in 1922 by a group of outstanding boys. Their aims in forming the so- ciety were the advantages to be derived from practice in oratory, extemporaneous speaking, debating, and parliamentary procedure. They chose for their motto Love, Labor, and Learn, and for their colors, purple, white, and gold. Mr. Roy Greer is sponsor. The officers of the society are elected at the spring farewell banquet for the seniors. Last spring Dick Bennett was elected President: ,lack Holden, Vice- president: Gene Burke, Secretary: Theodore Coulter, Treasurer, Ross Burns, Parliamentarian: and Brice Crouch, Sergeant-at-arms. The mixer was held at the home of Theodore Coulter. Sixteen new members were selected from the forty boys invited to the mixer. The Herculeans and their sister society, the Sap- phonians, gave the largest and one of the most elab- orate dinner-dances ever held by any society in the school. The affair was given at the Woman's Club on March 23, 1939, with Ray Sheidts orchestra. On April 28, they presented an assembly in the form of a Negro 'ASwingeroo, which seemingly started off the day with a cheerful smile and expression. This assembly program was written, worked out, and pre- sented by the society without any outside help. Their last event was the senior farewell banquet at which the officers for next year were elected and installed.

Ulrici. Roy Greer, Norman J. Ranum JUPLIIHU The Joplimo, one of the major projects of the school, is an activity which perhaps requires more continuous work than any other. This year the sponsors, Mrs. Ulrici, Mr, Greer and Mr. Ranum led their respective departments, editorial, business, and photo-mounting in a manner that has brought out the best Work in each staff member. From the beginning of the year the Joplimo de- mands complete attention, planning the layout and letting contracts to the printer, engraver, and photo- graphers. Then senior pictures, society and home- room pictures and snaps of football, basketball and other sports must be taken. During all this time circulation and the necessary advertising are being carried on in a rapid and extensive styleg and al- though the annual Joplimo Queen contest is begun with vim, vigor and vitality, it is usually concluded with friendly hair-pulling, brain racking, highly competitive minds and a victorious class. The final and most tedious task is the editorial Write-ups, proof-reading and the actual printing and binding. Thus it can easily be seen that While the making of an annual is hard work, it is also vast experience and a great teaching factor. Ifigblg-eight The circulation staff certainly LOOKS industrious, but sh-h-h we've got our own opinion. Dan. Lois Ann. Hansel and lirwin. tstandingb are deeply meditating on some waity problems.

The Spyglass went to press with a bang just two weeks after the first of school, and has followed up with one scoop after another ' ever since. It was a proud da h y W en the star reporter personally interviewed the First Lady of th l e and! But there was some bad luck with the business man- agers-the first one, Glenn Goodman, resigned: then the untimely death of Thomas Giger deprived the Spy- glass of another excelle t n one. The present one is Bob Schink, a junior who undoubtedl 'll y wi be able to carry on all next year, too. Looking back over the fifteen papers which represent a year's work, the outstanding ones seem to be the foot- ball, Girl Reserves, ba k b ' ' ' s et all, and junior college issues. The most triumphant moment cam e when the school proudly viewed the eight-page junior college issue which climaxed a successf l u year. After the usual three six- page papers, enough pictures w ere tossed into that one to appeal to anyone, and the junior college news sup- plied plenty in the way of novelty. Ho-hum! It's wonderful that it's over, but what fun it would be to go through it again.

From the upper quarter of graduating seniors only enough students to make fifteen per cent of the class are chosen. A few of the requirements of the National Honor Society are: willingness to render any service to the school when called upon, Willingness to offer them- selves as scholastic contestants, demonstrations of initiative in promoting the Welfare of the class, being able to meet obligations to the school, and ridding the school of bad influences by upholding Christian ideals. Thus it can be seen that the specific ideals are greatly demanding and that is the reason member- ship in the honor society is such an honor. Sponsors of this organization are Miss Reed, Miss Price, and Miss Colvin. Fifth row, Raymond Kelly, .lack llol- dvn, Lola Potter.

These constitute the busy lives of the members of the music department, and as the result of their efforts under the direction of T. Frank Coulter, the musical organizations have steadily, through many years, held their place at the top in local, state, regional, and national contests. In the first annual Musical Festival, held here March 27, 28, 29, and 30, and sponsored by the Joplin Junior College, the music groups and soloists met With the highest praise and supreme approval of the critics. However, the members of these organizations do not confine themselves to music entirely, They are outstand- ing in scholarship, athletics, dramatics, military and many other achievements and are leaders in all the school affairs. But they always reserve a soft spot in their hearts for their music, and years after they have gone out into the World, they remember the pleasant days of practice and the thrill of being winners, Such memories are never forgotten! Vv'here is that delicate and ethereal music? Of course, it is the Joplin High School orchestra rehearsing B-eethoven's Eroica Symphony for the Regional Contest at Colorado Springs this May, The orchestra is the oldest music champion in the district and is the only national Winner in the state of Missouri. Be- cause of this, last year they were invited as the guest high school orchestra to the National Music Educators' Conference held at St. Louis Where many directors, professors, teachers. and musi- cians from all states had assem- bled. Their exceedingly comf mendable performance caused them to receive letters of praise and congratulations from all over the nation. They gave many concerts during the year and an out- standing performance during the Musical Festival. The biggest thrill of the year was their farewell benefit con- cert on the eve of their de- parture for Colorado Springs. This concert was sponsored by a committee of parents and civic leaders, Approximately two- thirds of the trip was financed by the parents and the other one-third by the Joplin Cham- ber of Commerce and music committee.

Theres the judges' stand just a few yards away. Strike up a marchf There they go with nfty dollars hanging over their heads for first place at Coffey- ville. Our band is not just a march- ing unit. It is a concert band and an honor rating band of Missouri. The members play everything from Shubert's NUn- finished Symphonyy' to Tiger Rag, and always give stirring performances at football games and in parades. The band holds its chief position in main- taining the morale of the R. O. T. C. and of athletics. A bas- ketball game could not be com- plete without the band to play 'iDear Qld Joplin, and its music has always lightened the soldiers heart. Besides school affairs, the band is always ready and will- ing to fulnll any requests by the Chamber of Commerce or other civic organizations, mak- ing it useful to the school and community. 6lRlS' Glll CLUB Each year the Ciirls' Glee Club seems to be a bigger and better organization, although the quality which it renders is invariable. This year the girls are going to the State Contest at Columbia and they hope to come home with a first rating, as they did two years ago. Although in former years the glee clubs have worked with all types of songs, this year they are remaining solely in the fields of hymns, arias, and light melodies. We may well be proud then, of this organi- zation and say in all seriousness that they are a well-deserved group of girls. Fifth row: June Stevens.

The girls' drum corps of Joplin High School is one of the brightest, most color- ful and charming units that ever graces a parade. The girls are always willing to march on eventful occasions, and they present a picture of perfect timing and unity. The drum corps appeared at several football and basketball games and offered a de- lightful contrast against the olive drab suits of the band. Officers this year are: Mabel Faye War- den, Drum Major and Marjorie Parker, Commander, and under their careful guid- ance and direction, a striking corps is the result. lHEllHUlll CUHPS Eight rank: Ruth Carlock, Marjorie XVommack, June Stevens.

This organization strives to bring out cre- ative powers in vocal Work, and tends to de- velop a keener sense of harmony and an ear for music in each of the boys. This year these aims have been more fully achieved by prac- ticing breathing exercises and working for ac- curate intonation, and while this practice is pro- gressing, a finer, more enthusiastic group of singers will be the result, with a well-rounded blending of voices. The glee club is an ambitious group of boys and nothing seems too difficult for them to attempt. nl- llimtizml live lfcslnsy. pure ecstasy!

Om llimilrl The department of speech and dramatic arts under the supervision of Mr. Robert Cunningham has a three-fold purpose: first, stimulation of the creative ability of the student through self-expression in class room activities, thus creating and preparing that student for his place in life and society: second, to promote worthwhile and enter- taining dramatic productions for the better- ment of the entire cultural and social pro- gressiveness ofthe community: third, to pro- mote and represent Joplin High School in competition with other schools in speech activities in this and other states in this district. Om' Iltm.1'1'erf Set' n LHHGUHGE ff! fi, L. B The primary purpose of the beginning speech classes is to afford the student a gen- eral knowledge of speech Work. The course consists of exercises to give the student poise and confidence and to teach him to talk dis- tinctly and pronounce Words accurately. ln the advanced classes more stress is placed on the actual dramatic work of the individual. Dramatic and humorous read- ings, declamations. and orations, and one act plays are worked up in class for contests and entertainment purposes. Pantomimes are presented to develop the students facial and bodily expressions, and for the more creative student there is the original declamation. SIGN T The senior class play.

Radio work is a comparatively new activity in Joplin l-ligh School, but as in many other High Schools, it is finding its place. ln this industry there are many Helds open to young people. As a result, schools have started regular classes in broadcasting, radio advertising, and other phases of this work. Although there are no regular classes of radio work in our curriculum at the present time, the speech department has, through its added endeavor, tried to make it possible for a few students to experience the feat of broadcasting. Prom the speech classes stu- dents were chosen for radio tests. and the ones most adapted for the work. were given opportunities to appear on programs. One of these endeavors to give opportunities to students inter- ested in this Held materialized in the form of a series of radio broadcasting entitled Interviews with the Past. This series lasted for a period of eight weeks. Students participating in these broadcasts were Robert Lankford. Geneva Tappana, Kenneth Mc- Clintick, and Betty Rowton. Each year the broadcasting station WMBH has what is called Senior Day. The entire station is given over to the Senior Class. Manager, Assistant Manager, Announcers. Technicians, even the program for the day is arranged by members of the Senior Class. Seniors always look forward to this day. -1' I zlrwtl Eleven SIBHIHG UH rs lo mflwrf f Gt'x1rv.i Tappa Bob lmnkford Glen lloodnmn lxennelh Xlcfli Betty liowton Mary lee Kitto na n.1tl-x fi L.

'Twas years ago, that I recall, I was a wild and untame youngster, But education taught me, also, Ben Franklin was my first instructor. Since then I've helped the world a lot, Over fifty years of toil, I've built the largest cities, And helped to till the soil. The more I've worked thru all these years, The less I'm paid, you see, The more you use my services, The cheaper is electricity. And as the years roll by for you, I hope everything is fine, ,MIREQX Solrvgignclcgleasgvtggi,go9Ilgratulations, s z 9 nu V ii! 9 Compliments of A AS. wi. C ,.
