Pointing' the road to the solving of ever present problems and happier school days, are our board members pictured above. Included are RAY CARLSON, elected to the board for the first time last spring: CHARLES F. WELLS, vice-president and chairman of the business committee: SUPERINTENDENT E. A. ELLl0'l l': S. A. HARRIS, president for the tenth consecutive yearg JUDGE HAYWOOD SCOTT, attorney for the board: MRS. ETTA GAR- LOCK, secretary since 1930 and a member of the teachers' committeeg ROLLA STEPHENS. another newcomer to the board: and CLIFFORD CASEY, also holding' a position on the business committee. To this group, forming' a strong foundation to a strong institution, our hats are otfl Just next door to school and sheltered by the shade of two giant oaks, stands this well-known structure-THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING wholding within its realms the laws of the learned. Each roof win- dow, drinking in the warm sun through its panes of glass, reflects a division of the mechanism carried on beneath it---guidance in solving problemsg improving present conditionsg developing new and better meth- ods for carrying on our school system. Each stone step leading upward marks a step in the advancement of the administration through a period of twenty-five years through which this building has stood, containing within it the offices of those who untiringly have striven to advance the purposes for which it stands. Its windows look toward the west only to see, with the setting sun of vivid fiery hues, the rising of another sun! that of education!-with equally brilliant hues which do not fade away with the day's end, but linger on and become constantly brighter.

WM yy -- Rwjg MM mf, vw if How often have we entered the door to this roomeTHE OFFICEA past a line of chairs in which some troubled souls make themselves at home, awaiting their trial in Mr. Deatherage's court to the left of the main office. Perhaps we have approached this long desk to present a new alibi for not showing up until second hour, or a plea to have a schedule changed, to better meet our convenience. Many times a day the telephone Knot for student usej rings with requests for records which are carefully arranged in the large file behind the desk. Such is the usual buzz of activity so strikingly in contrast to the quiet emptiness pictured above. Wall plaques telling of J. H. S. victories, orderly boxes of schedule cards, calendars recording student activities, eeall tell the story of the life they represent, as the old grandfather clock, just inside the door, keeps watch, and steadily ticks out the periods of the day. Fourt c een At the head of the receiv- ing line for late arrivals and so-called ditchers in the masculine line, stands ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL ROY E. GREER, with a stern brow and a firm re- mark assuring that that boy will be on time to- morrow. Underneath that n e c e s s a r y disciplinary manner, however, is a warm heart and a sense of humor that we have all found and admired. 'QM ,f-L-, e gaculty esi e s A quaint little lady, bus- tling from a class of math- ematical prodigies to her post behind her desk in the office, pictures to us MISS MARGARET WILLIAM- SON, DEAN OF GIRLS. As we take our troubles and excuses to her, a cheery smile and a Welcoming Word are sure to greet us, making us feel we have found a friend. Fifteen :M 'fZL:.:2 ULHQZZQLV QILIEZEQ9 let s Explore flze Qasi anal ,qbresent . . . . . SUCIAL CE These expert historians of our school are always ready and eager to answer any perplexing questions. MISS CLARA GARDNER, at the left, teaches all the necessary datesg JAMES VAWTER, behind her, is the economics instructor, explaining all the functions of modern economy to us. MISS SUSAN HASWELL and MISS EMMA L. PRICE dedicate their time and effort to furthering the historical background of our students. E. O. HUMPHREY, social instructor, seems, in the above picture, to be intensely interested in CHARLES 0SBORN'S explanation of the globe. Their newer and more modern ideas make their history classes favorite paths of exploration of the past and present. Sixteen TIME MARCHES ON! but pauses for a few moments inside Mr. Vawter's door, while these ECONOMIC STUDENTS MAKE USE OF TIME A vital part of our curricula is this course, because it prepares our up and coming citizens to face the future with open eyes and open minds, at a time when the welfare of our country depends on just such. knowledge. Interest in such subjects as eco- nomics, along' with the other vari- r 4 ed courses in social science, is con- stantly being stimulated by grow- ing enthusiasm on the part of student and teacher alike. Open discussions in which everyone may take advantage of our untouch- ' able 'trigght of free speech make the every day 4'g'rind smoother and more enjoyable .... Each in- structor does his best to guide the way or point out a better one, as Miss Haswell exemplifies to these HISTORY STUDENTS BEING S HOWN THE BEST WAY AROUND THE WORLD. et s Jlfincl jwz usiness . . . . . COMMERCE 00000009 cmoeoee maooooew In the modern business world, it's knowledge of machinery. speed, and initiative that make good executives. In the above picture are those efficient commercial teachers, who are making capable business mcn and women of our students. MISS ETHEL REED and the school auditor, JOSEPH MILLER, can 'tuntanglen even the worst set of books. To MISS MARIAN MARTIN we owe a deht of gratitude for her untiring efforts to prepare type-Written material needed to carry on our studies. MISS GLADYS BUEHLMAN is also a typing and shorthand instructor. By putting into our minds the business sense, they are indeed aiding the economic world. Eighteen 9 Out with the olde in with the new. Yes, out with the old hunt peck system, say these TYPING STUDENTS, AS THEY LEARN TOUCH THE KEYS WITH LIGHT AND FLYING FINGER-TIPS. future success of many of them will be determined and assured by training they receive in the two years of typing, which is offered in commercial course. Others merely prepare to simplify their college later life by learning an efficient and or time-saving method for writing crim- positions, reports, and letters .... In addition to typing. boys and girls a l i k e . enthusiastically undertake preparation for the innumerable phases of business life through short- hand, oltice practice. commercial law, and accounting all included in this course.

To teach the work of welding, D. C. RICE has joined our faculty. ROBERT BAKER, the man who aids us all, is the coordinator of diversified occupations, and A. ROY WHITE, another newcomer, teaches history and shop drawing. J. ARTHUR HEN- LEY and A. W. DUAN teach manual training and carpentry, while S. T. COBINE, sheet metal instructor, works at the Lafayette annex. If your auto is broken, ELLIS KINDRED, auto mechanic, is the man you should see, and NORMAN J. RANUM, perched on his stool, eagerly explains the technique of mechanical drawing. Industrialism can truly be called an art-the art of building the world we live in. Twenty This strange-looking device, though me inini less to many of our eyes is in reality a sheet metal machine, or more technitallv termed A BRAKE OPERATED BY HIGH SCHOOL SIUDLNIS It is ditlicult to conceiye that those convenient and useful devices in our hallxx ays the swing top waste paper cans, are a result of the protess bein' t uiicd on above But if we follow the eyes of the workers we see 1 plete of Ualx inized iron being bent for such a purpose. This general sheet metal training' prepares those interested for an open field in this type of work which is prevalent in many indus- tries. Carpentry, auto-mechanics, and mechanical drawing. also offer opportunities for industrially- minded folk to develop their indi- vidual skills .... ln the lower pic- ture we see A GROUP OF WELD- ERS also preparing' to enter the busy machine shops and numerous industries of a fast moving' ma- chine age. Na- n 'f ,xt isa ets new L eis ,qlinefz Side . . .Fl E ART LA GUAGE Keats must have been right when he told us that Beauty is truth -truth, beautyvefor our line arts department justifies that statement. T. FRANK COUL- TER, our well-known music in- structor, who has lead number- less musicians to national ac- claim, Waves his baton ceaselessly every day. WILLIAM DALE, also one of our music instructors and a lover of song, is a favorite of the student body. No less than the beauty of music is the beauty of color and design taught by ARTHUR BOLES in his art studio. . . .In the lower picture are the foreign language teach- ers: MISS LILLIAN BAKER, who teaches Spanish, MISS BESS BUCKERIDGE, who explains the Huntranslate-able utterances of Caesar and Virgil, and R. ED- WARD BALLINGER, speaking Spanish like a native, who con- ducts his classes with the flavor of old Spain and Mexico. To these Wine teachers, who teach us the liner things, we give our sincere thanks!

Beauty has been added to the drab Walls of the art room by attrac tive murals depicting school activities such as the one above being com pleted by its creator. In addition to this one branch of the fine arts is the music, which is so familiar to the ears of us all. Every student is exposed tol' and learns to appreciate fine music, Whether it be heavy or light... Meaningless sounds become phrases of understanding, as we conjugate and decline in various foreign lan- guages.

Americas n e w l y conscripted army is made up of strong young citizens hoys much like Joplin's R. O. T. C. Their commanders are much like our own LIEUTEN- ANT COLONEL G. S. PIERCE and SERCEANT E. TREAGER. Lieutenant Colonel Pierce, spend- ing his first year at J. H. S., has already found many friends.... Working to huild clean bodies and clean minds is the aim of the physical education department This year, the teachers shewn in the lower picture are new to us, but they have a large place in our hearts. COACH CLARENCE IBA is famous for his skill in making 'fhasketsu the same thing some of our boys have a knack for. Big as a minute CGI'- tainly fits MISS NOMA MATTER, the girls' physical education in- structor. COACH JACK NEE- BRUGEE holds a football signi- fying his position on the high school faculty. Doesn't this prove Americzrs defense is well under way? We think sol Twenty-Four Hep, two, three, four! Is that the sound of marching feet? From the looks of the BOYS ON PARADE, it must be Wednesday mornin With eyes front and sabers gleaming, a line of cadet officers tand at atten tion before the rows of gun bearers, many of whom look forward to the day when they, too, may lead a com- pany or shout commands. Diligent study of military statistics and strict obeyance to the specified requirements will make this dream a reality. Proud are those who lead the grand march in the annual L'lVlili- tary Ball, one of the year's highlights filled with colorful glamour .... Another phase of the zestful spirit of J. H. S. is found throughout the Physical Ed' depart- ment, in which fun and exercise are prev- alent. That basketball is a girls game, as well as a game for boys, is demonstrated by these GYM GIRLS REALLY GOING AFTER THAT BALL. ' Twenty ti etb Solve wi eqbfzoblems MATHEMATICS . . CIE CE Can you tell me the answer? How often we've been caught blank-minded when one of the teachers here hurled a geometric symbol or chemical combination at us. It's been pretty difficult to solve some of our problems but we've all enjoyed working with and learning from these mathe- maticians a n d scientists. MISS IONE ELLIOTT and M I S S PHEBE GRIFFITH have aided us many times in solving a hard sum. . . DOUG- LAS C. MITCHELL, shown at the left in the lower picture, explains well, the anatomy of a frog. MRS. ELIZABETH COOPER, seated next to him, conducts our sewing a n d cooking classes, and HAR- OLD HARTMAN, science in- structor, has made our many hours of chemistry really enjoyable. The agri- culture department is headed by 0. T. HUFFMAN, and newcomer PAUL FRILEY, standing behind the group, is a grand addition to the physics classes. T ty My. what queer little gadgets you have there! All the better to figure with. my dear, say these MATHEMATICIANS INTENT UPON THE EXPLANATION OF ANOTHER NEW GEOMETRY THEOREM. As we view these strange looking, many-sided objects, it is indeed difficult to conceive how such small things as brains can contain all the lines, angles, and complicated problems that students of math' and science seem to consider all in a dayls work. . . . There is a great deal of satisfaction in being able to explain the laws of existence and what makes the world go 'round, is pointed out in the sciences of biology, agriculture, physics, and chemistry. Oh, what fun to take molecules apart and then try to put them together again. Apparently demonstrat- ff ing that it can be done, are these YOUNG ALCHEMISTS SEEKING OUT NEW CLUES TO THE MYSTERIES FOUND IN THE CHEMISTRY LAB'. Let, 'Seek anal Speak Ckwsclom . . GLI HHSPEECH Let's seek wisdom -- yes, let,s learn what great pens have recorded for endless centuries. Let's speak wisdom-yes, let's know how to talk, what to say, and most important of all, exactly how to say it. Dedicated to this purpose are the English and speech departments. Youth has learn- ed the importance of good speech and good English from those shown in the above picture: MISS LUCY BURNS, also journalism instructor and spyglass sponsor, MISS DOROTHY BOHANNON, speech teacher, MRS. DORA C. ULRICI, also Joplimo sponsor, MISS MILDRED ROBB, MISS GRACE COLVIN, MISS LAVON BESSE, and MISS LEAH ROBINSON. To these English profs', we are speechless in our admiration. T ty ght In the midst of seeking wisdom is this group of ENGLLSH STUDENTS LOOKING OVER AN ATTRACTIVE NEW PIECE OF LITERA TURE. Through the studying of intriguing novels and stories that we find in our literature classes, it is no difficult matter to be carried back to olden days of fine ladies and their knights in armor. Just as necessary, and playing an equally important part in the year's work, however, is the learning of all the little speech parts and the way they fit into our everyday conversations, as well as into the themes We Write .... After mastering these necessary elements, We may go further and learn to put them to- gether into the beautiful and captivating language of a good public speaker, through additional speech work. Here we see ADVANCED SPEECH STUDENTS CURIOUSLY LOOKING INTO THE DEPTHS OF SOUND-the home of ex- pression, emotion, and speaking. Twenty-n i ,Beth jneditaie an Concentfzate . . tucly Hail . .

To see that the school routine runs smoothly, GENEVA TAPPANA, oifice secretary, types, records, and answers questions from day to day. When you receive a slip for an unpaid library fee, MISS LAURA DECKER, school librarian, is the one you consult. When shouts of Don't talkustudy now meet your ears, you can bet you're passing the study halls.fMRS. EDNA CLARK is 'tcaptainn of the boys' Study A, and MRS. EDNA CHESTNUT is Hurst-mate', of the girls, Study B. With their help Weive learned to meditate and concentrate-with their help welve become an ambitious Youth. Concentrating, rather than the usual meditating, seems to prevail over these BOYS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEIR TIME IN STUDY HALL. This hour is certainly a welcome opportunity to brush up on that next hour lesson you just didn't get around to last night, or to relax between classes of a particularly strenu- ous day. The girls' study hall, separated from the boys' by the library, serves much the same purposes, except that that last- minute primping is inclined to attempt to creep in at times .... The library, be- tween, stands open, offering its assistance to those who would seek pleasure, as well as information, among its book-lined shelves. Encyclopedias, books of poetry, biographies of our heroes and heroines, tales of adventure, and current news magazinesfall give us many hours of worthwhile pleasure. THESE GIRLS EX- PLORE AND DISCOVER NEW HORI- ZONS IN THE REALMS OF THE PRINTED PAGE. 'Iht ' l l IS STUDIOUS tyftliruc Because democracy must be preserved for the individual, actual training and practice in the democratic processes have been given the students of J.H.S. We are learning the importance of having a voice in our govern- ment and of maintaining our privileges, guaranteed by the Constitution. Shown above are STUDENTS VOTING AT THE POLLS on the second floor. Each class nominates its candidates for offices and then votes by secret ballot, so as to democratically elect the man of the peoples' choicef' Coincidentally, in the upper right hand corner of the picture can be seen a part of the American Creed, symbolizing the credo of Joplin's twelve hundred young citizens who proudly say, I thank God I am an American. UYHW ouilz eacls the Class . . E IOR l l Doubtlessly sent to the head of their class because of their qualities of leadership, are these SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS, getting their heads to- gether about some matter of concern to their class. Though their duties be few, they stand ever ready to put their best foot forward, should they at any time be called upon. KEYTON NIXON seems to have what it takes to be a successful president, since he has been elected to that office for three consecutive years. STERLING LIPSCOMBE, reporter, PATRICIA BURGESS, treasurer, Secretary J UANITA FAULKENBERRY, Vice-President MEL CARLSON, J. R.

Here we stand on our two nearly certain feet on the front steps of dear old Joplin High School -dearer, and certainly more well- known to us than it was two years ago, when our knees Hrst knocked as we mounted these steps. But don't think for a minute we're sorry for the last two years-we wouldn't trade them for a million dollars! When we sing our school song, we really feel a surge of pride because we are a part of the student body of l the soaring eagle. We're still thrilled W over our class election-it's fun to give the seniors a race for their money. lt's a wonder we don't have gray hairilike some seniors we know-after all the political mix-ups, ties, and what have you. But speaking of what we have, I'd say we've more than our share of celebrities-outstanding students-this year. Those veterans of the debate squad, Glen and George, have represented us in gab contests all year long, winning a lot of recognition for brains and personality among the juniors. Then, of course, no one wants to forget our class play, Skidding. With a capable cast portraying the Hardy family, it was a killer success. George Crowder, as Andrew Hardy, did a fine job of being young, and Nancy Sanders, as his red-haired sister, gave a performance we all like to brag about. Sigh! Sigh! Whistle! Whistle! Wow! Wow! Our good-looking cadet sponsor, Mary Ruth, just marched by and who wouldn't exclaim over such a snappy specimen! And as long as we're discussing the beauty of the thing, we can't forget our Joplimo Queen Candidate, Peggy Blackburn.

In fact, to hear those Jun- iors and Seniors talk, you would think we had just emerged from the cradle. We admit we're not classi- fied in wisdom's 'ffwhds Who at the present, but at least we have a good start and some pretty h i gh hopes. We've started being grown-up now, and believe l us, we're having a lot of fun doing it, under the watchful eye of the eagle, that spreads its Vast powerful wings over us, symbolizing our ability to conquer, to overcome ob- stacles, and to go forward-never retreating.-Though our giggles, which classify us as funsters, are really only a vigorous sense of humor, the school, thinking them a little undignified, reserves for us the balcony-the shelf to us--where we may look down upon and learn from our elders below. It won't be long until we'll be down there, showing others just how a well-behaved upper-classman conducts himself. Nat- urally, we can hardly wait until then, but the seats upstairs are just as comfortable, and we wouldn't give back our sophomore year, with its new friendships, excitements, and laughter, for anything.-It seems, just because we have to talk so much because we have so much to say, the title of 'ttongue-sters has also been bestowed upon us. We're not ashamed of our ability to speak out, however, for it surely has boosted us up plenty high this year. We believe in starting out young, and already our debaters have more than earned their classification. And remember when Jack Collins did such a fine job of putting across the loveliness of our Joplimo Queen Candidate, Miss Fifty-four ij S P O N S O R S 1 Miss Buckeridge Miss Price , Mr. Vawter f' ' .Y L ri , ij, ,ivftg WX i .WV ' VH 5 ,L s s c A , C. Phyllis Davis, in that assembly way back when '? While we're speaking of loveli- ness, that little Miss Botteniield, Honorary R.O.T.C. Major, seems to be the result of the cadets' good judgment. Our sophomore cadets certainly hold their own in the R.O.T.C., and we know they'll make a grand-looking bunch of saber-carriers when their turn comes in a couple of years.

The Work of 'teditingn a paper is really work, so We give you future Horace Greeleys a vigorous hand shake and a pat on the back--'that is, if you can take such strenuous treatment after you slave hours getting your paper on the press ....

Well, anyway, WINSTON and DONAL believe JEAN is, and they just dare BILL, GLEN, GORDON, and GALEN, the other de- partment heads, to disagree .... Rivaling the featurists for top honors as a large group are the mem- bers Of the Business Staff, WINSTON, GEORGE, PATTY, PAUL, JOHN, ALICE JEAN, JACK, MAR- GARET, BETTY, and DELLAS.

It takes a lot of ability, a lot of practice, and a lot of Sally to send that spot of White flying STRAIGHT DOWN THE FAIR- WAY ....

You know, girls, your Eighty-six X waistline's your life line these days, and a daily dozen in the gym will do more than anything to keep it down.

We believe we have something fine and valuable to give the world from our new ideas and fresh plans, and we are determined to be heard! Fun starts with our fall rush season and carries on into assemblies, student council meets, and exhibitions of student Work. There's a spirit of cooperation and unity typical of youths-'eyoung ideas, we believe, add to an effective school system. The voice of high school people raises itself to a mighty Crescendo, even above the deafening roar of world events--loud, demanding, hopefula and yet, meaning the very salvation of the principles of free speech and free assemblage. Is there a better place to raise the voice of freedom than in our public schools? Eighty-nine l .

' v ympca use I 4 We Olympiads can certainly point with pride to our fall mixer! To help along friendly relations between the United States and Mexico, we made the theme of our mixer a Mexican Fiesta and presented the famous toreador Senorita Nancita Hoadlitaw and a ferocious burlap bull in an honest-to-goodness bull fight! But this wasn't our only outstanding activityeeour basket- ball banquet and our formal banquet were both pro- nounced successes because of their originality. How- ever, though we are proud of this originality, we hold firmly to the traditions which have been ours since Olympiads were established in 1928-our motto, Achievement is glory enoughneour colors, lavender and green--eand our flower, the violet. One of Olym- piad's finest practices is giving out baskets on Thanks- giving and Christmas. Among our membership we have many members who are outstanding in student life. This is another of Olympiads oldest customs- to have members, of whom we may be truly proud. Ninety CLUB Lllfl ai!! The gavel, a symbol of leadership, and the quill, a symbol of scholarship, have long aided our society to uphold its motto, The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword -also bright blue and pure White have signi- fied our society ever since it was founded in 1923. We wish all of you could watch us carry on one of our nice orderly meetings--our greatest pride. They are the result of the special study of parliamentary pro- cedure which we made this year. Our programs have been outstandingly educationalg however, not all the time in meeting is devoted to improving our minds. No sir! We furnished some pretty lively entertain- ment this year, as anyone who saw our assembly or attended our super colossal banquet will assure you. This year We donated baskets at Christmas and Thanksgiving, and gave memberships to the Young Men's Christian Association to those less fortunate than we. We are especially glad for the privilege of doing such things as these and feel that they are among our finest accomplishments.

Tiny wooden pins, in the shape of leaves, bearing the own- ers name, helped us get acquainted 'midst the colorful fall surroundings. Philogian Day, November 23, was celebrated by a birthday dinner in candle-light. Our colors, lavender and White, and our flower, the violet, were beautifully and originally carried out in the theme. Ever ready to do our share, We sold stickers, donated Christmas baskets, and purchased a magazine subscription for the school library. Throughout the year several potluck suppers were served, upholding our pledge to hold a friendly feeling toward all girls. We are proud of our many out-standing mem- bers, Who in their determination and ability, carry our motto in their hearts- Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for any fateg Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. Ninety-two .Cfcf We could have eaten more weiners--but they were all gone. We could have toasted more marshmallows! but Yehudi got them. Yet undaunted by the fact that all the food had vanished, we cheerfully gathered around the campfire to plan our great parade of hits for the coming year. First we concocted our Whiz of a Quiz assembly, conducted by Ye ol' Professor Jack Burris. The quizzing came and wentfso back to our cauldron we dashed to arrange for our spring dinner-dance, and how the Blue and Silver did shine that night. After the fun was over, once more we re- turned to our cauldron where, turning back the clock, we began reminiscing.eeOur society will be all of thir- teen years old soon. Progressing year by year and be- lieving that Knowledge is Power, it has grown steadily. We seniors certainly regret leaving. Our year of fun and friendships is ended eso now, with a warm handshake, we say farewell to the L. C. F.

After everyone was through talking, laughing, and telling of their exciting vacations, We got down to business and made plans for our annual mixer, which had a patriotic flavor. Early December found us enter- taining the football boys at our annual football ban- quet. Later that month our brother society entertain- ed us at a grand Christmas Party. Christmas, we de- cided to do something a little different, so We sent fifty jars of jelly to the Tubercular Hospital. Febru- ary held two exciting occasions for us-the Sapphon- ian-Herculean Mixer and Sapphonian Day. May, the firstea night never to be forgottenewe held our for- mal dinner-dance. With each of us mindful of our motto-- A man's reach shall exceed his grasp or what is heaven for, we rounded up a year of Wonderful times--times which each of us Sapphonians know we shall never forget. Ninety-four QVCU 60115 Hands that work, minds that think, and hearts that love --the motto chosen by the Herculean Literary Society when it was organized way back in 1922, mak- ing us the oldest society in Joplin Senior High School. Our flower, the clirysanthemum, is one of the loveliest you'll find anywhere. Always a leading group, we had one of the best years in the history of our society dur- ing '40-'41. Our social affairs started off in October with our mixer at the home of George Elliott. In December, We held our annual party for our sister society, the Sapphonians, which everybody enjoyed. Also in December we gave Christmas baskets. Then came our two big events of the year. On April 18, we entertained the entire student body with our annual assembly. The very next day, April 19, we held our annual banquet which was even more success- ful than usual. And so, with these few remarks, we bid you good-bye until we meet again.

Our strong band shall ne'er be broken. MFor six- teen years our society has been growing and gaining. We members, constantly loyal to our motto, Excel- sior, know that our fast colors-orange and green -shall never fade. After our merry mixer we held our iirst meeting to elect our officers and plan our calendar for the year. The important events included our Castalian Day and our Pan-Hellenic Spring Dance, where a huge crowd of gay young belies and blades had a full evening of entertainment. Too en- grossed in our activities, we did not realize that an- other year had slipped by. All too soon we find that the fun has ended. The usual bustling halls have faded to silence, and, as the Castalian door is closed once more, we hear a soft murmur-- Castalian, Castalian, Deep graven on each heart, Shall be found unwavering true, Till we from life shall part. Ninety-six SF am Today when freedom of speech is cherished so by all Americans, we members of the Forum realize the im- portance of our motto, Open Discussion For All. We waved good-bye to those beautiful fall days and simultaneously welcomed many new members at our successful mixer at McClelland Park. As we watched old man winter busying himself stirring up cold winds and sparkling, Hutfy snow. we busied ourselves or- ganizing an outstanding basketball team. We had a lot of fun working with our sponsor in presenting a gala Christmas program and also in helping to give the annual Pan-Hellenic Dance, which incidentally was even a greater success than last year's. Also to add to our long list of 'tgood times, we had a wintry hayridef -Now that it is spring, our only regret is that we must partg but those of us who will return next year can spend the summer in happy expectancy of the friendly comradeship found in our society.

Speed,' is the key word of our society, which is nam- ed after the swift Grecian girl, Atalanta, and our motto is speed and successf' However, this swiftness which we refer to is that type which carries with it precision and hard work. This year has been a busy one for us, crammed full of colorful activities. Our swift panorama of events started off with a bang when we held our mixer at the home of our president, Maxine Leslie, in the fall. Our society was among those present at the Pan-Hellenic Dance in the spring and our members will never forget the wonderful time they had. Our last activity of the year was our Atalantian Day in May and we really felt dressed up, wearing' our colors, pink and green, and fragrant corsages of our flower, the sweetpea. Ever since our organization was founded in 1929, we have believed in courage, loyalty, and cooperation, and the result is a really top-notch society. Ninety-eight flienaeums Charity, purity, and democracyngthese three ideals our founders wisely chose as a motto when they es- tablished the Athenaeum Society in 19274ideals that are just as worthy now as when they were first chosen. Around these ideals we have built our society into a fine organization founded on good fellowship, fair play, and sportsmanship. The colors, blue and gold, signify our society and the white carnation is our flower. Every boy in our society has his chance to shinefbecause, in the meetings, each member is given the opportunity to take the floor and talk on the sul:- ject that interests him most. To be a good citizen is the aim of every boy in our society, and we try to broaden our outlook by having round-table discus- sions on current events and debates on subjects in which we are all interested. One of our out-standing programs was a contest of barber shop quartets. These quartets certainly proved our members to be lusty singers.

This year we have made a special study of the art of making friends and keeping them, and, as a result, a feeling of warm comradeship pre- vails among our members. Last fall we added fifteen new members to our organization and initiated them into the Philo Phronian's traditional love for their colors, blue and silver, and their fiower, the violet. We have placed much emphasis upon all of our mem- bers' taking an active part in promoting both the work and fun of our society. Following this plan, we all worked as hard as we could to make our annual banquet a bang-up success, and certainly, we all had an elegant time. We feel that this year, more than ever before, we have accomplished more to make our society outstanding in school and social life. This has been attained by keeping before us our motto - Forward, Ever-Backward, Never. One Hundred spasians Taking any seven of our timid sophomore girls and one of our outstanding teachers, you will have a pic- ture of the beginning of the Aspasian Literary Society in 1935. Our founders chose pink and orchid as their colors and Higher Education for their motto. It was left to us to choose a brother society, so this year we selected the J Club. Lollypops, short dresses, hair ribbons, cheery voices, and gay faces formed the pic- ture of our mixer in the form of a kid party at our sponsor's home. It was a grand success, as well as our society dance, when we donned our formal attire and had a scrumptuous evening. With all these wonderful and exciting times always with us in color- ful memories, We couldn't help but Want to observe proudly Aspasian Day. So in April we set aside a day in honor of Aspasia, the first woman to become known to all the World for education of women. Thus ended another outstanding year.

Reclining on a couch of green grass, we members of the S.P.Q.R.-Senatus Populusque Romanusfheld our fall mixer at a picnic, followed by a meeting at the home of Doris Dean Graue. Afterward we had our usual initiation which would have pleased Jupiter him- self. We members were equally as pleased with our programs for the year. An outstanding program was given by the students of Pittsburg Teachers' College, who presented a marionette show, Pyramus and Thisbef' Members of the club also participated in a poetry contest sponsored by the National Classical League. We must not forget our annual Roman Ban- quet. My, my, what special arrangements were made for the trials of the seniors' shades in Hades! Our club has not only many unique practices out also very u- nique colors typical of the old Roman race-white and Roman purple fscarlet redl.

Our aim is to reach our goal and, when we have reached it, to look for another-higher, if possible. Our flower-- Flowers of Sulphurnelike most things of the present day, is synthetic. Our colors, strikingly patriotic, are red and white. During this year we have enjoyed talks and experiments on numerous subjects. In September, we held our annual mixer at the home of Ray Chowning. During Gctober, Bill Morgan gave an experiment on Static Electricity and Bill Vincent gave one on the preparation of oxy- gen. In November, Bill Vincent presented an experi- ment on 'Tlg Artisian Diver. In January, Bob Avery gave a talk on 'the Operation of Radio, Lou Earl West, Jim Glenn, and Dan Cox spoke on The Air- plane, and Charles Whitsett discussed Flowers.'!- And so we closed another full year by saying goodbye and God speed to many old friends.

The Sigma Gamma Lambda Literary Society has for its object one of the finest objectives in the world! Friendship We endeavor to build friendships that will last beyond high school into later life. There- fore, our motto, More Beyond, is quite fitting. We are a society composed of only senior girls during the lirst semester: however, during the last semester of the year, junior girls are admitted, in order that we may carry on the following fall. The Sigma Gamma Lambda Society was organized March 8, 1916. We observed this date as Sigma Gamma Lambda day with a very successful birthday party and enjoyable even- ing in the cafeteria. The decorations were in keeping with our iiowere-the pink rose, and our colorsered and gold. Among our varied activities for the year was the joining of the Pan-Hellenic Dance group. We thought it was a super dance, as did all of the groups present. Our activities for the year closed with our Senior Day picnic.

With those large audi- torium doors wide open on Tuesday morn- ing and with girls filing in with chittering chatter, you know what to eXpecteYes, it's the Girl Reserves' first open meeting. Well, that's just the beginning of the fun We girls have. Throughout the year, welve had first a mixer of all mixers, then a rousing kid party, a truly beautiful Christmas program, and our Valentine party. As our final pleasure day, We had our farewell banquet. A bit sad, we broke up for another summer, resolved To End and give the best, while apart, just as We had together. One Hundred Eight . . . 'l' DE li 1C CIL The purpose of our Student Council is To Encourage Better Practices in Student Activities, and the thirtyi five members of this group dedicate untiring efforts to fulfill the responsibility placed in them. This year we have been exceptionally active, giving Thanksgiv- ing baskets to Joplin's needy, presenting the Christmas assembly, attending inter-scholastic conferences at Springfield and Monett, and administrating a program for honor points-the abolition of detention. We rea- lize the importance of a Student Council--the inter- mediary for the students and faculty. Are we believ- ers in democracy? Most certainly! We're democra- tic! We believe this Student Council of ours is Democracy in the Working!

We who are young are proud of our heritage: yet, we realize there are still frontiers to conquer and walls to climb. We know the importance, now, of a peaceful defense. Under the protecting folds of crimson and White, every heart beats out a patriotic air, and on Wednesday morning, the downbeats are accented by the sound of marching feet-fR.O.T.C. boys. Above the street, in fifty class rooms, the pride that is Americanism. fairly bursts f1'om youthful hearts. Heads bob from window to window, catching a glimpse of the Way We shall defend America. The greatest thrill is watching the Star Spangled Banner climb into a blue sky dotted by a Weaving cloud pattern.

Scarlet redethe blood our forefathers shed to make our fatherland free: stainless white -the purity of the ideals for which this free nation stands: true blue-the honor and truth of the men that make our country strong-all meet in a piece of cloth-each stand- ing out one from the othereesymbolizing centuries of progress, freedom, and unity. Each morning our flag, unexcelled in beauty and unmatched in strength, rises with the morning sun over a land of love and liberty, and Waves fearlessly until the labor of day is o'er, and it is lowered as the shades of night enclose the land in their quiet folds. Each star and each stripe has its individual place in the history of America's great past, and, as We look up to Old Glory floating on high, saluting each star and stripe with a surge of patriotism Within our hearts, we say again those familiar words: I pledge r1l!eg17am'c to the Flag of the Uniierl States of A11z,crir'a and to the Rclmlnlirr for whiuh it slclmls. One mzliozz imiivisiblc, with liberty and jzzslicc for all.

September Dear Diary: I wish you could have been with me Tuesday when the doors of J.H.S. were Hung open and we all came tripping back to school. fand I do mean tripping!! The Sop'hs. still think the second Hoor at lunch time is Grand Central Station! Now we're all getting acquainted and are all getting back to work 175. We went to the Polls on the election day and gave Robin Childs the Student Council headache and also tper usualj elected class officers. More people wanted to pass out cigars and kiss the babies Cage unlimitedjll! We'v,e got two swell new coaches and a humdinger of a team and some of the loudest cheer-leaders you ever yelled at! The Spyglass put out its first paperijust what we needed to brace us up after these first few weeks of grinding Cschool to youj. I'm sorry, chum, but I'Ve gotta get my nose in a history book. I'll be back to see you soon with more nooz and stuff tho'. Off with a bang, Spirit of J.H.S. October Dear Neglected One: I admit I'm late with my account of affairs, but honest, this place has been a perambulating beehive since I last saw you. Speaking of seeing thingsehave you seen our Koal Queen candidate V. Gregory? Whew!!! And likewise the G. R.'s in their ancient clothes for the iirst open house meetingffl love that 1890 model I wore! The band and drum corps 'have been adding some glamour plus to the football games- 'specially that Missouri Waltz number. The Student Council gave their first as- sernblyfhaven't you heard about it? Surely you could hear those student Demos- thenes' giving plugs fand I don't mean nightmaresj for J.H.S. with no buttons to shine! There's been more polishing for oHicers and ranks lately!!! The spirit of 1776 has returnedfthe drum corps just beat out the red coats!!! 1Isn't that an aw- ful joke?J Oh well, they've new green ones nowg and I'm still speaking of their coats! Ah, life of luxury! Ah, life of leisure! Ah, just plain old life! fWe've pledged the Sophs. to our respective soci's after plenty of campaign promises. J That just reminds me-I want to watch the whims come by the office door so I've gotta breeze. It's their uniforms that intrigue mef there's something about a soldier, a football hero, a basketball player, an ad salesman, a debator, a track star, a-oh well, you get the idea.- 'Til October comes again, Just another falling leaf November Hello Diary: I just crept by Prof. Osborn's door and I heard him telling his American His- tory class, HA!! great men are dead-and I don't feel well myself!! Poor man-git must have been something he dropped in the cafeteria!! The Student Council again did itself proud by showing that where there's a will-the-re's a way. They planned and carried out Thanksgiving dinners for a multitude of Joplin's needy. All that flashing and shuffling noise you probably heard coming from under the padlocks on the doors of J.H.S. is the photographers getting a shot at you for the book. Are you curious about the coming Joplimo, too? The only ones who go around 'tknowing it all and not tellin' are the staff. Report cards have come out twice and contrary to public opinion, J.H.S. is proving that its students do have brains-fwe've the biggest 'honor roll in years!! fDid you see Hedrick either time?D In case you're interested there are gobs of Sophs. out for debate and all made a grand showing at Pittsburg. The first team also went to Topeka and Coffeyville--returned home minus the cup, but with an unexcelled showing!! Rah! Rah! Twice--once for them and once for the yearbook--THE' 1940 JOPLIMO WON ALL STATE!!! Here are three nominees for new oomph titles-the honorary cadet sponsors. A young man, named Young, will command them and our spiEy regiments from now on. You know, the more I think about it, the more I believe this sort of thing-our R.O.T.C.-is America's first line of defense.

All kidding aside t'ho', it is plenty cold here, but no sign of snow yet! The sleds and skates still have hopes, however, since it's only Dec. The Spyglass came out with a new contest and Bill Davis was chosen 'tMr. Spy-it -number one popularity man. He also helped the Basketball team win its first game. Nice work, boys and Coach Iba!! The debaters went to Springfield and lost only one out of seven. The car was so disappointed it broke down fand cried?J. Mr. Ballinger was heard muttering to 'himself fafterwardj, greater men than I have lived'-but none were debate coaches or they wouldn't have. Mr. Deatherage directed the Christmas assembly wiUh Shang- rila as the beautiful theme. It was an inspiring program for all of us, and, as the lockers swung shut for Christmas vacation, you could hear, more sincerely and heart- felt than ever before, MERRY CHRISTMAS, GOD BLESS YOU, PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL TO MEN. Was ever a greater speech given? A-dashing thru the snow, A dot on the horizon January Dear Leaves: fI'm turning over a new one! Somebody said it couldn't be done- and he sure knew what he was talking about! I couldn't fer the life of me, answer those exam questions. Mid-year exams are a headache in any language-especially if J. H. S. students had the vacation I think they 'hadl The faculty recuperated with a picnic, forgetting their glares and red lead pencils, and the new members of the teaching staff were initiated. Basketball is in full swing and altho' it's a secret-you won't tell a soul, will you?-I promised Mazie I'd keep it quiet-but we've a CHAMPIONSHIP team. The first extemp. cup of the season was won at Ft. Scott and given to the student body. It's all of three inches tall, too! Pardon me for a month, Diary-the band just swung out at their concert with From Africa to Harlem and this broken-down student can't resist the boogie beat! Yours groaningly, A Bromo, Please February Dear Victim: Many great men were born in this month of valentine candy hearts-and cupid got a lot of them! It's been such an exciting time as we vote for our Joplimo Queen. With so many beauties in this school, it was hard to choose the cream of the crop. Queen Pat tho', did look sweet during the beautiful black and white coronation. Tinkle, tinkle, little mill! Wasn't that a cute idea for an assembly-the L.C.F. quiz program? Jack is a nice inter-lockitor, with Buddy's band to add interest and swing. After the preliminary dramatic tryouts, our N. F. L. contestants headed for Canton. Mother Nature had another idea-a snow storm--well-anyway, we might QI hopej be in Lexington, Kentucky for nationals this spring. T. Frank Coulter, that genial baton-waver, fled the orchestra to triumph at their anniversary concert. I loved Sally's solo fiddli,n'. The seniors swung out at Newton's dance at Robert'swand even broadcast the festivities. As one of our last get-togethers it was fun!

Why, Diary, I've been so busy I haven't even had time to fly my kite! First thing this month we all dressed up purty and went to the military ball. It's much niher to see our boys on dress parade in the ballroom than in ranks on the battlefield. I'm proud of the whole lot of our R.O.T.C. The teaclhers had an event, too-The Jasper County Teachers' Meet. I 'heard one teacher exclaim- why, I actually learned something. Music, maestro, please! Thank you! The Music Festival was another big success under the guidance of Joplin High musicians. Re- member the piece that wentfula-da-la-le-la-to-dum? VVell-Don doesn't remember it-at least, we around the Joplimo oHice know he's forgotten it, despite his gusto! A double feature love story was part of the complicated theme of the Senior Class Play-a truly American story portrayed by some real American actors. Howard's fatherly countenance was most convincing and Sally's dirty face, most becoming! Is our face red? The faculty beat the J Club by a tremendous score. Highlight of the game was, the battle of bulldogs -Osborn and Vawter---over who should go on the floor. And I still tfhink we should have sung, He can't keep 'em up, as the Sergeant came on the iioor. It had me worried! Going out now, the same way I came in, April Like Mary's little Lambie Dear Downpour of Disillusionment: We love to be loved in the springtime, Ah-we think our man is dee-vine! He's always so sweet, Our life is completeg lThat bud, will cost you a dime!J Ah yes-how true! In this month of flowers and budding hearts, Diary, festi- vities are in full swing. For this month and last around J.H.S. is known as the ban- quet-days. Every society has been blossoming with original ideas and plans for this all-important time and the banquets are grander than ever. I tell you-. There was a MA-sive crowd at the Pan-Hellenic Dance. We carried the fun-making on into Fiesta Days, too. Whoopee-holidays! A little south of the border south of Joplin. CIsn't that awful?J The calendar certainly has been full lately-too bad April 'has only thirty days! We crammed a beautiful Easter into our plans and Good Friday was even gooder because we got out of school. To make this jubilant season even more in keeping with the beauty of spring, our orchestra touched the magic notes of 'harmony and sung out gladness, with music and melody! The J-Dets' spring dance was another important affair. Hasn't Sue done a nice job of comman- deering those white-satined, blue-caped soldierettes? Stop me if you've heard this one-gossip! gossip! but-it's so funnyfseveral teachers we know got police tickets-and not for the policeman's ball either! They got them for being wrong-way Corrigans -for parking their cars the wrong way outside. Ah4such is life, they tell me-we live to learn. Learning as little as possible, May For a Senior Dear May We Go On: After the year was over-she took out her glass eye'-set her wooden leg in the corner-and with a relieving sigh-said, Aw Gosh-I'm 'quituating'. Now I can take off my disguise. Seriously tho'-the whole affair saddens me. 'Specially final exams! I hear the seniors apple-polished pretty good, 'however. The juniors and sophs didn't do as well-they have to come back next year! But we seniors get to leave! The Scottish Rite was the scene of that traditionally wonderful affair-fthe Junior-Senior Prom. Thank you, Sponsors and Juniors4you made it swell! Our musicians and speakers tramp oH for their big contests this month and the whole student body wishes them a horse shoe of good luck! Diary-you really missed something when I forgot to take you to the Joplimo banguet. It was one fine-feed, but still-who will be our Editor next year-A? B? C. D? P?f-U? This can go on forever, can't it? At the lovely Baccalaureate, I manage to keep back tears and listen to the fine advice given us who are about to be born in the outside world. I know we can take our place alongside our elders and aid and plan and iight, if necessary, for the life we love so well. Meany of us almost knelt in prayer, Diary, at Commencement. Surely we owe Him thanks for such a beautiful three years-our 'high school days. I won't write anymore after this month, my dear Diary. Your friendship and under- standing has been suc'h a comfort this year and now-'it's all over. We're opening a new diary with clean, white pages.

'THE VOICE OF QTMERICAN YCDUTH The finest, freest country on this earth Is ours, the Youth of these United States! To carry on her true ideals of Worth, This Youth its shining future dedicates. We, as Americans, do now accept Our heritage with gratefulness profound. Receive it humbly with a clear concept That our future will be secure and sound! --Margaret Fischer Class of 1941. l.. -1 Thus ends this chapter of the story of Youth. Whether we may begin a chapter that will merely add to memories of high school, contained herein, or seek entirely new realms, with new places, new friendships, and new experiences, We set out with our heads high, our hearts full, and our minds alert, to make the next pages also worthy of being printed and bound, because we real- ize that we ourselves are the authors of their contents. We have knocked at the door of opportunity and have been heard,- and through this one we see before us other doors toward which we shall direct our footsteps. Yes, we're ready and determined to make the story of this generation of youth, one that future generations may admiringly read and set before them as a key to help them write their volume. We have mounted our flying horses that will carry us to the end of the rainbow, and though we know there are many dark clouds between here and there, we hold the reins firmly in our grasp, so we may meet the world, and looking it in the eye, may say, Hello, world, we're glad to know you-we're not afraid of you-we're the Youth of America. The Editor.
