In the six short periods of a day, there is much for us to learn and accom- plish. Observance is the key to understanding, so in noticing other methods, We often improve our own. page 86371671 I Y 7777 ww YYY, Y, , ,, ,,,, ,i YW, 7 ,,,YY 7, Y ,-We-V - 7 WWW-- Our school elections were more exciting this year than they have been for many years. The halls were plastered with post- ers, signs and banners. Campaign slogans ap- peared in every room. In- genuity and originality were displayed at every turn. In the picture at the left, Mary, Evelyn Jo, LaVerne, and Mary Ann are studying the posters on the bulletin board in the front hall. It's Spyglass time again. On Thursdays after school everyone hurries to the front door to buy a Spyglass. We never know what it will be like-for each edition is dif- ferent. The Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine issues were extra large-six pages instead of four. These issues and the St. Patrick paper were printed in their respective holiday colors. And that April Fool's Day issue with those up-side-down columns! . . . The initiative of the Spyglass staff has produced colorful, newsy, and educational newspapers. page eight All those shined shoes and glittering buttons are the result of hours of polishing in prepara- tion for inspection on Monday. KTO the rightj Company D is being in- spected by Van Green- wood and Kenny Priaulx. One by one the boys are eliminated until finally one officer and one cadet are left. At the end of the day there are eleven who have been rewarded for their efforts by being chosen orderly. At the library we of Miss Robinson's senior English class find, during class-time, a wonderful opportunity to do research on our term papers. Preparing a biblio- graphy, gleaning from many books facts pertinent to our subjects, and trying to form original ideas supply us with gigantic tasks. The library provides us with all our needs in solving our problems. In the quiet of this Sanctum, we often ac- complish rnore than we would otherwise. ,DN page nine Betty and David lead the cheerleaders in a yell during the Thanksgiving pep assembly. Our big- gest football game of the season was anticipated with this clever assembly about Three Magic Words -words to beat Springfield. The spirit and enthusiasm shown in our pep assemblies were truly inspirational, thus spurring our Eagles on to victory. Mr. Deatherage nods, and the seniors, dignified and proud, parade from assembly. This is one of the time-honored customs of JHS. The seniors leave-one row to the center, the next to the side-while the juniors and sophomores Wait impatiently for their signal to leave. Then it is one mad dash in the direction of the cafeteria for lunch. Wilma, Richard, Mari- lyn, and Carter are a few of the first to leave, While Mary, Barry, Mary Sue, and Sara sit awaiting Mr. Deathe1'age's nod for the juniors to escape. .iq ' ag 5. S , I . f , LJ. 1 ' It's junior class play-time with make-up artists Jean, Kathryn, and David, applying their skill on Susie, Karole, and Charles just before curtain time. Our very able juniors staged a most successful play in Dear Ruth. The excite- ment of producing a drama, Whether we are on-stage or off, is always thrilling at our school. Among the many tributes to the power-driven Eagles this year was the Sapphonian Literary Society's football banquet. Held in the school cafeteria, the affair was one of humorous speeches and good food. Looking at the picture, you can see that we were very attentive to the program. As the picture was snapped, Sue was giving us a very interesting reading. Following her, came Lorraine Miller, singing, and Patt True, playing a piano medley. The Sapphonian football banquet is an annual occasion. ' fl 0 771 f4470e.faa6,4'mwaf School's out! When that 3:30 bell rings, we dash to our lockers and then outinto what we consider freedom, after seven hours of school life . . . fbelowl . . . After the basketball game with Maplewood High CRemember'? We won by one pointj, We dashed out onto the court, ex- citedly congratulating our team. Many were the games when this performance Was repeated, for our team often snatched victory from our opponents in the last few seconds of the struggle. page twelve Ev 1'i'v-, QW A .Jr ,gn-mv si O X L Q tif S 171 W . 1 T' HA, v pr 'Xu R. .wi 5- um.- , n I ll 1 15 JY.

Every day in our classes and in our other activities We must read and think. Our teachers are trained to help direct our thoughts to meet the problems We soon must face. In the above picture, Mr. Osborn is explaining the organization and the principles of American government. We all realize that well-educated citizens are the foundation of a strong and powerful nation, and We are striving to become competent in directing our destinies. page fifteen mm 204,,a.4'4 mm 544444 dem 4444, 444,44 We of this senior English class are busily studying our workbooks. Maurice has another question-he always has one that is of interest to the class. We have already written our term papers, read the Tale of Two Cities, studied and listened to records of Macbeth and analyzed short lyric and narrative poems. We expressed our originality through the Writing of essays and the composing of poetry for the National Anthology Contest. Miss Robinson certainly knows how to keep us busy. .... fbelowb . . . We are really trying to find a micro-organism. We are discovering a whole new World for ourselves. The star of our pic- ture is protozoag the producer is natureg we are the supporting cast. Our props are a micro- scope, slides, and a beam of light. This show goes on every day in the biology class in room 107. Mr. Mitchell is our censor. 464770. 66466444 it 'Z page sixteen 77514. aagefz yd eaybq .-11 .1 A fragrant aroma is constantly arising from the room in the lower hall, and it is not from the cafeteria, but from our cooking room. We learn the basic fundamentals of cooking and serving and put our knowledge to Work. We fry chickens, make cakes, pies, salads, and cookies, and at Christmas-time we make delicious candies. Yes, We should be prepared to be future home makers .... fbelowh . . . We are kept busy typing, filing, and mimeographing. We are the secretaries of the faculty. In classes we type and mimeograph schedule cards, programs, and the latest bulletins from the office. During the music festival this year We were kept busy taking dictation in shorthand from the critics. Having a very efficient teacher, Miss Mitchell, We really did not have much trouble reading our shorthand. Our commercial classes prepare us for the business World. page seventeen 7?i4l4 main 7714224 '4 eu76ma64c'aa 0m 7Zew 7 ' 7ea4mbaZ Soho! V- JJ' Q f rf .. -' --affix. , . , :L-eshqx , .

Thinking back we see ourselves in junior high school- sophisticated and important. Then high school- Which completely knocked the wind out of our sails. But it didn't take us long to get our foot- ing for the junior year.-Finally We reached that glorious day when We were truly seniors.-Now, we are on the last lap. Looking back on this year, we remember the football and basketball games, the elections, the society meetings, the Music Festival, the plays, assemblies, and-of course, our classes. We remember the hurry and scurry of that thirty minute lunch hour, the get-togeth- ers in the halls. We remember those who were honored by being the president of this, chairman of that, star of something else, cheerleader, or editor. AND SO WE GIVE YOU de .famine of 79487 . . .

Whoever said, A teacher's day is eight hours long, wasn't thinking of our J HS faculty. With so many extra-curricular activities, our teachers often are at school until late hours or on trips with students to contests. Speech, debate, Spyglass, Joplimo, music, military, ath- letics-all require additional hours and worries. Sometimes it seems as if We almost devote more of our time to these projects than to our studies, but with- out suitable grades we do not undertake outside activities. Our sponsors are at all times understanding and earnest in educating us for a better life. Mr. Pennington issues an- other excuse permit-this time to Edgar and Bob. frightj Mrs. Brown okays a permit, while Sue writes her excuse for absence. fleftj Financing the year- book provides wor- ries for Mrs. Ulrici and business man- ager, Bob. A few members of the Spyglass staff -Kenneth, George, Margaret, Barry, and Shirley-with Miss Logan's assist- ance, help meet an- other deadline. Mr. Edwards ad- vises Maurice, Peg- gy, and Myral for the next debate tournament. 7 wid aa!! Page 94 f ., mega J w-Mm as - m 7 We seldom stop to think about the responsibilities connected with being the principal of a high school-fixing schedules, supervising teachers, planning assemblies, and counseling with the students. These and many other duties are handled most effectively by our very capable principal. Glen R., as we affectionately call him, ar- ranges his time-schedule so that he finds moments to help us students with our personal problems. We often find him Walking down the hall, hands behind his back, Worrying about some important ques- tion. We, truly appreciate the many hours Mr. Deatherage spends helping us solve these problems during our days in high school. Principal Glen R. Deatherage Our new Dean of Girls, Mrs. Brown, has been busy since the first of the year learning the names and faces of all the girls. She is patient and understanding-always ready to help us solve our problems .... The man behind the scenes is our Vice-Principal, Mr. Pennington. In addition to his regular duties, he assigns locks and lockers, supervises the distribution of books and supplies, and helps to keep order in the halls during the lunch hours. MRS. BEULAH BROWN ELMER PENNINGTON Dean of Girls Vice-Principal page forty-two Always diligently working for our Joplin schools is perse- vering Roi S. Wood, our su- perintendent. Attending civic club meetings, endeavoring to further every worthy interest of the public schools, and aid- ing the faculty and students with their problems, he is it M - willing to co-operate with all of us. Participating in our nifimixim , 5 assemblies, our superintend- ent gives us valuable aid in understanding the problems of it the World. Active in state ed- ucational organiations, Mr. Wood is our able represent- 2 ative wherever he goes. He never tires in his efforts toward the Welfare and better- ment of our schools. He has distinguished himself through his ever-courteous manner, fine co-operation, and spirited interest in all our undertak- ings, and by so doing, he has Won the respect of students and teachers alike. ss HW seam Superintendent Roi S. Wood The school board members give unselfishly of their time. It takes foresight, hard Work, and co-operation to keep our schools in perfect harmony. We are indebted to them for their time and patience in managing our schools. Left to right: Joe A. Reeves, Joe Harding, John F. Wilson, Roi S. Wood, Mark Henderson, president, Nelson Christman, J. O.

Boys in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps benefit from the military lessons and habits. The cadets learn neatness and cleanliness of general appear- ance, as well as how to take orders. To advance in an R. O. T. C. unit a cadet must adhere to every phase of military life. Cadet Colonel Paul Arrowood was chosen on the basis of his scholarship, leadership, and military ableness. For the first time in Joplin's military history, four cadets were advanced to the rank of lieutenant colonel-Marvin Boyd, John Montgomery, Jimmy Porter, and Kenneth Priaulx. Lead- ership experienced in this field is training for leadership in the fu- ture. ' J ' X 5.4-vs 6:51 PM-mf '- f ' W - ,- .:.

O. T. C. uniforms. That was the beginning of polishing buttons and shining shoes which aid so much in making orderly. Orderly-that little red and green braid worn on your shoulder which means so much to every cadet. Once every week on Monday each of us gets a try for the orderly, and a few of us make it. It is, never- theless, our ultimate goal, for it signifies the best cadet of the week from each company. As school got under Way in September, We juniors and seniors were Well along on the road to success, or so We thought when We watched the neophytes. With such representatives as the rifle team and the flashlight squad that performed between halves of the basketball games, We felt proud as punch. A dance was held January 2nd which raised funds for the Rifle Team to enable them to make trips to compete in the various matches listed at the right. To climax our year of hard Work, a most spectacular Military Ball was held for all cadets and their dates. page forty-nine a76Z6ma7Uafz274f4p Evelyn and JoAnne, Co-Editors-Bob, Business Manager Self-supporting and award-Winning, our Joplimo is a symbol of Joplin's high standards. Advertising and organization fees provide the bulk of our finances. A new project this year was the selling of name cards to seniors for exchanging and for invitations. Our Student Directory, two years old now, contains all our names, addresses, and phone numbers. A Worthwhile supplement to the Joplimo, the directory contained all advertising which for- merly appeared at the close of the annual. The Scholastic Editor, national magazine for high school publications, featured an article by Mrs. Ulrici, exploiting our directory as a worthvvhile money-saver. Each year the goal of the staff is an All-American yearbook as judged by the National Schol- astic Press Association. Using the scorebook of the prior year, we try to correct mistakes of the year before so as to make a better book. That day in November when We receive our judgment of the Joplimo's rating is the climax of our anxiety. Working the year round, we begin immediately after the close of school, planning the theme for next year's book. The Joplimo is planned and executed entirely by the editors, editorialists, and artists with the aid of our typists and sponsor. Photography is both student and professional. Our business manager and ad salesmen work entirely on the student directory with the aid of the editor- ialists in preparing the editorial content. Our engraver, Burger-Baird, being located in Kan- sas City, provides us with opportunities to travel in behalf of the Book. Experience gained in working closely with business firms, printer, and engraver has proved very valuable' to us in our preparation to meet the World. We put all We had into our 1948 Joplimo. We only Wish We could have done more. ' page ,fifty MEMBERS OF THE STAFF Co-Editors ........... Evelyn Smith Jo Anne Blanke rife ide Zan 24164 Business Manager .... Bob Hinkle we Art.

Beside him is secre- tary, Margaret Deatherage, who reads the minutes of the previous meeting. As the student body's choice, Roy and Margaret have rep- resented us well in our every project. X J After a hotly conducted election with all of the aspects of an actual national election with campaign slogans, banners, and speeches, We began another busy year with Roy as our head and Margaret as his assistant. First, we started the ball rolling by holding our Annual Football Dance. Following this, in December, we lent a helping hand to the Salvation Army by encouraging the Student Body to bring food and clothing for the needy. In the second semester we began to have hourly locker checks, and although some students thought this to be a nuisance, it curtailed the number of lost articles. During the basketball season we worked with the Hi-Y in distributing the programs for the games. Yes, we look back with pride on another busy year.

It was a hard-working pep squad who led us in so many yells and sponsored those trips to out-of-town games. Always endeavoring to find something original, they presented us with two of the most different assemblies this year. Everyone enjoyed the girls masquerading as football players, and the Thanksgiving pep assembly. The climax of the football season was our annual rose assembly, when each Eagle, as well as the cheerleaders, was presented a rose to give to his girl. Our football team worked hard, individually and co-operatively, developing teamwork to the nth degree. The net result was only one defeat-that by approximately two feet. Remember that Tulsa Will Rogers game? - Over 500 of us traveled that 130 miles to see what was probably the most thrilling tussle of the season. Losing by only five points, we were a dejected group coming back to Joplin that nightg but it provided our team with the spirit to defeat the remaining teams on our schedule.

No one member of the team out- shone any of the Others. Instead, teamwork was their by-Word. Wherever they Went, they were all for one and one for all in victory and defeat.

Kneeling: Bill Drake, Rod Meredith, Bob Hartley, Keith Harris, Douglas Serage. The track team of '48 was just beginning to warm up as our book went to press. All meets were scheduled for April and May. Returning lettermen, however, anticipated a good season. In following years, the track season of the previous year will be covered. Our boys excel in high and low hurdles, dashes, mile-run, broad jumps, pole-vaulting, high jumps, and discus- throws. .... During the summer of '47, baseball was the sport for most of the J HS youth. The Robert S. Thurman American Legion Post sponsored a team of boys under seventeen years to play against similar teams of neighbouring towns. At the state tournament they placed second after meeting the better teams from all over the state. Last Row: Mr. Foshay, Edgar Craig, D a. v i d Whited, Louis McAvoy, H a 1' o l d Wood, Bill Drake.

We have the Girls' Athletic Association which awards us letters for hiking, swimming, cheerleading, tennis, and other sports. This is the first year for G. A. A. in JHS. We have accepted it with alacrity, for it is a representation of the girls' sports in a school famous for boys' sports. Besides learning to play, we study home nursing under the supervision of a registered nurse. A realization that our activities in gym will make us more physi- cally fit adds to the enjoyment of our two-hour a week course. At basketball games, between halves, we have an opportunity to demonstrate the various dances we have learned. We play tennis, badminton, baseball, soccer, basketball, volley ball, and golf. This year we participated in Play Day both at Pittsburg and at the Joplin Junior College. Cto the right? Play Day at Pittsburg found Joplin girls active in all the games. We joined with girls from other towns in playing an exciting game of hit- pin baseball. Building a pyramid always is fun while testing your equilibrium. To the right Betty Stokes, Marilyn Green, Lucille Piha, Marilyn Jacobs, Helen Scheurich, Treva Warden, Elaine Stowell, Glenna Dean Witzansky, and Pat Miller try a regular pyramid. In our intra-mural volley ball tournaments we have some keen competition. Preparation for these games often includes playing against boys in gaining experience. These games are played at a time too late to appear in the yearbook. Duringfthe regular gym classes we take setting-up exercises frightl 'to keep our muscles in good tone. It is so much fun to build a suspen- sion pyramid flower rightj. By participating in all these activities, we learn the art of good sports- manship and of playing according to the rules of any game. Mrs. Charlotte Creach, our teacher, sets requirements which, if met, give us a certain number of points. Thus, we are graded on a point system. Physical and mental hy- giene improves our outlook on life. 'n M J X MUSIC SPEECH f f PROMINENT EVENTS X aa! f46cwze7l dede,-4u'4 i 41 We live in a world of dreams. Some dreams carry us into the world of dramatics where we express ourselves in words and actions. Our junior and senior class plays were action-packedg with everyone memorizing and enjoying readings, taking part in one-act plays, presenting a program on one of the local radio stations, or working on the stage crew, the remainder of the speech department was busy. Debate classes give us a chance to express our ideas. Everyone has a chance to debate, either in class or in the society contests. Other dreams take us into a realm of music Where harmony and rhythm express our emotions. Our music organizations are larger this year than they have been in several years. Music is always a source of relaxation and pleasure. We all dream of the Military Ball with its thrilling grand march and gorgeous formals. Pictured above is the dream come true-our always beautiful Joplimo Queen coronation-the culmination of weeks of campaigning, Working, and Worry- ing. Youth and its enthusiasm make all these dreams come true. page sixty-five A- Q. 4 '-' '35 5 if YES , Q 3 3 Q Q, 3, h s., ,w Q 5, M, qt, QA sv I , 3, 5 Lg wg, Q Gfwg,w,.f'l'5 W Q.-ff ff F, ewes-3 'fwffvsegaa f' W 5, 3 3, Q, 4 i N W Q fr V : H T 7' ,Q ,ii 'f A M ' f A ll 'M Ig 'fir K mm' -.

All of this hard Work was not in vain, however, because we were re- warded by the attentive attitude of our audience at the concert here on January 23. This was the first time Joplin and Springfield ever combined into one band. After Springfield had played several numbers, the two bands combined and each director conducted three selec- tions. Members of the band and orchestra housed the Springfield participants. This gave us an opportunity to become better acquainted with our long-standing rivals. The follow- ing week we made a visit to Springfield. Again, during the Music Festival, we had the opportunity to combine our skill with other competitors as several bands of the district were brought together under one conductor. Our trip to Columbia for the State Contest comes so late that the JOPLIMO cannot record the outcome, but we always ranked high and know that we will do as well this year.

During the sixth hour and on Monday evenings, music fills the air, and everyone knows that it is the orchestra striving for perfection. We gave our first performances in the assemblies at the junior high schools. The real results of this hard Work was shown at our Anniversary Concert given February 13th. Following the concert, preparations were made for the Music Festival early in March. At the final concert of the festival We were honored With having Mr. George Waln, clarinetist, and Mr. L. E. Watters, pianist, as our soloists. Everyone enjoyed Mr. Wa1n's Canzonetta and Mr. Watters' Rhapsody in Blue. After the Music Festival We settled back to more hard work in readiness for the State Contest. We scheduled a Pre- Contest Concert in April after the yearbook went to press. This is to be used as a try-out for the contest. Bands, orchestras, choirs, and soloists from all over the state gather to find just how they rank. So We orchestra people along with the band shall journey to Columbia to find our place as musicians. Orchestra Junior Class Play DEAR RUTH' October 28, 1947 Top Picture: Miriam: Harold.

As the play unfolded, We find that Miriam, the younger sister, has written letters to serv- ice men to raise their morale, using Ruth's picture and name.

The plot of Our Hearts Were Young and Gay concerns two young college girls who go to Paris to study acting, getting in- volved in many escapades. Prepar- ing the play required more than several hours practice each day. There are make-up committees, properties, costumes, publicity, stage crew, and scenery artists. We all enjoyed every minute of p1'e- paring the senior class play for presentation. Thespians J Among the many Thespians We have r actors, orators, and make-up artists. Points A are received by working on committees, by Tb X being in class plays, by participating in assemblies or by giving readings.

Margaret Deatherage and Richard Wommack Cto the rightj await their turn to refute the ideas presented by the affirmative. Debates such as these between our own teams afford experience for challenging tournament teams. NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE Resolved: That we shall do our best in every debate in which we participate. This is what constituted the aim of every de- bate student. Resolved: That the federal government should require arbitration of labor disputes in all basic American in- dustries was the question chosen by the National Forensic League officials for all high schools belonging to the organization. After the regular debate season was end- ed, we sponsored the intra-society debate tournament. In this manner We can un- cover talent Which has lain unknown. As soon as one debate season is completed, we look toward the future-seeking teams for next year. We Wmmwza Zwzde Junior Attendant Mary Sue Farrell Smiling throughout, Betty began her high school with a bang. As a sophomore cheerleader, she soon became known to her classmates. The sophomore ROTC boys elected her as their representative with the rank of Honorary Cadet Major. The Sapphonian Literary Society claims this pretty and charming student as a member. With this record behind her at the time of the Joplimo queen election, she was chosen by her sophomore class as their candidate. In selecting Harold Call as her business manager, Betty supplied herself with a persevering go-getter. She was a charming addition to our beauti- ful coronation ceremony. page seventy- four Mary Sue, sweet, popular, and attractive, is known to all of us, especially through her musical activities. Her winning ways have procured several honors for her, in- cluding Honorary Cadet Lieutenant Colo- nel. For the second time, she has been elected by her class as their queen candi- date. Supporting her nomination, they have brought many worries to the seniors before the results of the elections were announced. Johnny Holmes served as her capable man- ager. As a member of the orchestra, Drum Corps, Solo and Ensemble Club, Olympiad Literary Society, and Thespians, Mary Sue well deserves all praise given her by her classmates. Sophomore Attendant Betty Fanning 1 Hand Zaeen of Me 7?4X Miss Marty Fletcher Martha, known to everyone as Marty, reigned over the Joplimo Queen coronation assembly with dignity and poise. Her cheerful smile, sincere and natural, is known all over the school. As a cheerleader, president of the Sapphonian Literary Society, and a member of the newly-formed Girls' Athletic Association, she is known for her earnest work in every- thing she undertakes. Chosen as the senior candidate, Marty was modest about the campaigning going on in every corner of the school. In a beautiful setting of a crown-shaped throne of roses, Marty was crowned Queen by her business manager, Bob Hinkle. As the orchestra played This Will Be My Shining Hour, we knew this was truly lVIarty's shin- ing hour. page seventy-five an Pfzeawt Me 7716 ' 341:66 5 C l I ik. , g --.. - ,cs U I g . f - Yagi I -N P if Z ' Millw- y Q l Many glowing accounts have been written about the military balls of the past years. None of them quite catch the feeling of excitement which is in the air from the time the grand march starts until the last note is played. This year's ball seemed especially wonderful. The beautiful gowns, the gleaming sabers, and the dreamy music made this an evening never to be forgotten. Honorary Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Mary Sue Farrell and Cadet Colonel Paul Arrowoodg Loretta Gullette and Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Marvin Boyd were the leaders in the Grand March. The cadets followed according to rank in their respective battalions. Everyone enjoyed dancing until 11:30. This annual occasion was viewed by crowds from the balcony, Exciting and magnificent, the ball was a fitting climax to the military year. page seventy-six gdae6dad2. .. . Hilarious and truly vaudeville in style, the Gavel and Quill assembly included everything from a German band playing and singing In Der Feuher's Face to a male chorus line dancing the can-can. Keith Harris appeared at intervals, as master of ceremonies, with a joke for the audience's enjoyment. Ned Jackson's reading, The Amateur Hour, the Barber-shop Quartet, the black-face duet, and Crooner Wommack's Temptation revealed much humor- ous talent. Swami Nolan's predictions and their enactment proved amusing. We hardly recog- nized Waldo Fiant Clothed in a bird cage. The finale Cpictured aboveb featuring Good Night, Ladies received a thunderous applause revealing our approval. . . . Cbelowj The following week the Philogians presented their assembly in Harlem Haven. Ealine Stowell, mistress of ceremonies, introduced the following numbers: the Four Leaf Clover Twins fMary Ann Sigars and Joan Gatewoodj, Lena Johnson, the Philo- gian Hot Shots fViola Brunkhorst, Mary Cole, Shirley Cooper, Rosalie Nenninger, and Louise Prewettl, Sambo and Coco CColleen Marshall and Joyce Whipplel, and Cindy Lou CJoan Gate- woodj. At this point the program was interrupted by Elsie, the cow, and the entire cast was needed to get her off the stage. The assembly was an annual production of the Philogian literary society.

To be able to enjoy ourselves while learning is a big step on the road to happiness. page seventy-nine We guild 6 ,' We Deaelap The societies began the 1947-48 school year with a round of mixers. These varied from hay- rides and picnics to teas. Everyone had fun, and the sophomores had a chance to become ac- quainted with the oldtimers of J HS. Soon several of the societies began planning assembly programs. The Gavel and Quill was the first to present a program. They kept us all in hys- terics with a vaudeville show and no one knew from one minute to the next what might happen. The following Week the Philogians presented a minstrel show. In April the defend- ing champions of last year's society debate tournament, the L. C. F.'s, met the challangers of this year-affirmative and negative teams from each society. The finals were not reached before the J oplimo went to press. The debates take place before classes with faculty members as judges. No experienced debater may take part in this war of words. The objective of the tournament is to find new talent in debating. To complete the year's activities each society held either a dance or a party-an exciting end to an exciting year.

Tempting breakfasts of ham and eggs, hot cereals and milk, or pancakes, awaited us. During these feasts, animated conversations developed along the familiar lines of school and current events. Having finished eating, we settled back for a business meeting. Mayor L. Russell McKee, Dr. J. Ruskin Howe, and Dr. Ben Morris Ridpath were among our principal speakers. Our two main projects for the year were the programs we had printed for the basketball games and the dances held after the games. Money derived from these programs was given to the World Fellowship Fund. All of us were agreed that the dances held at the Y. M. C. A. were a supreme way to celebrate our athletic victories. We surely enjoyed ourselves. These dances were for students only and, of course, sponsors of senior high. A nominal fee of ten cents per' person was charged. A bamboo hut was placed outside of the door for the purpose of' selling tickets, but, because of the enormous crowds, we are afraid, many were swept into the room as free guests. To make the evening more interesting the girls often wore jeans to have free movement in the hurdle dance -a dance enjoyed by all. Music was provided by records and by the Melody Masters C a band made up of high school musiciansl. All these Hi-Y activities afforded the boys many pleasures. page eighty-four We Z-7 dw! fine Um geo! Y-Teens President .,.......... Margaret Deatherage Vice-President ....,...

Our teachers supply a school spirit to our activities 57 Aff with a feeling of student-teacher friendship rather If X4 X than the strained relationship of years ago. This XXX N greatly aids in furthering our education, for the great- H K ness of a school does not lie in the size of the halls, fi N , ' the height of the building, or the beauty of the archi- tecture, but rather in the administration-the teaching ul E element-the backbone of any educational institution. r fx .1 We only hope our teachers' efforts have not been in f gg- X . vain.
