Page 4 roaswoan Within the pages of this Joplimo you will find a pictorial record of school life at Joplin Senior High as it is seen today in 1950. This year marks the long-awaited-for Fiftieth Anniversary of the yearbook of our school. In planning this year's JOPLIMO, the co-editors and the staff had a two-fold purpose: to recall the happenings of Yesterday and to record the events of Today. We hope, as you go through the pages of this book, you will take cognizance of the many changes that have taken place, and appreciate the modern advantages we enjoy now, a half century since our first yearbook. Since then, not only do we have better educational facilities, but we are also able to see how our city has grown from a small unknown town with unpaved streets, and few stores, to a progressive city of over 50,000 people, built around successful industries. Now, too, we have many beautiful parks and wide paved streets. You will see that the identification of people in the earlier pictures has been omitted. We thought this best. We are deeply grateful to the many citizens of our city who were so very gracious in lending to us this information and their valued possessions. We hope that we have been successful in achieving a fitting commemoration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of this, our yearbook.-Yes, we sincerely hope that we can be just as proud of this 1950 JOPLIMO as the class of 1900 was of their annual, the SIGMA KAPPA ALPHA. regret and came to thj J.

To these our past and present leaders-the one who is still carrying on to further the cause of education, we dedicate these records, and to him who is now directing the growth of our schools, and upon whom rests the responsibilities of continuing these developments and helping Joplin Senior High to keep its place of distinction among educational institutions-we present this book. And so, to these two educators, Dr. J. D. Elliff, Superintendent of 1900, and Superintendent Roi S, Wood of 1950, we dedicate this, our Golden Anniversary Joplimo.

Mr. Wood is constantly working for our Joplin schools beyond the require- ments of his job. He regularly at- tends civic club meetings represent- ing our school by trying to further every worthy educational cause. He frequently participated in our as- semblies, graciously welcoming out- of-town visitors, or speaking to the student body about some matter of importance. Mr. Wood has been an outstanding figure in our school sys- tem for the past six years, and, we hope, for many years to come. Page 7 Q5 fQIf'U!0l 8 Page 8 In 1900 boys and girls walked to school, or a few fortunate ones rode their bicycles. In 1900 When John got up on Monday morning, he had more to Worry about than getting out of a nice Warm bed and turning off the alarm. John had to get up much earlier so he would get to school on time-after dressing in front of the coal-oil stove in the front room, eating a hot break- fast, and doing his morning chores. And then, after his mother packed his lunch, he would have to Walk five miles to school, Whether it be snowing, sleeting, raining, or sunny outside. But in those days, John did not mind, because he Was accustomed to it, and besides, he would probably meet some of his friends who had to Walk the same distance, or even farther. ...j00!0L 8 Today, hotrods, school buses, and the 1950 convertndes acconnnodate the teen- agers But today, a half century later, our modern methods have cut out many worries for our 1950 Suzie. She has only to hope that her electric alarm clock Will ring half an hour early, so that she will have sufficient time to decide which skirt and sweater to Wear, and quickly dress, Then, after eating her Wheaties, and applying her PINK LIGHTNING LIPSTICK, our Suzie dashes out the door in the direction of the school bus-stop a half block away. But just then, Johnny comes 'round the corner in his new Oldsmobile and honks. Suzie piles in with the rest of the gang, and thus starts a typical school morning in 1950. Page 9 ed fewfa ,Q Page 10 Lakeside, fifteen miles away, was Yester- day's recreational park. That summer day in 1900 was a great event in Susan's life-a whole day spent at Lakeside Park-with chaperones of course. And for a great occasion as this, there Was much preparation fifty years ago. Susan got up early enough to put on her best starched petticoats, and to take the curling papers out of her hair, before she and her mother packed a large picnic lunch. John arrived promptly With the horse and buggy, and Susan entertained him in the parlor until the rest of the family were ready. Fifteen miles was a long drive, but they were in high spirits thinking of the fun that Was to come--canoeing, and maybe even wading before eating a picnic lunch at Joplin's only place of recreation. el O O . j0U!0L 8 Schifferdecker is one of Joplin's many recreational parks of Today. But the summer day spent at Schifferdecker in 1950 was only one of many similar occasions in Suzie's memory book. Suzie was taking a sun- bath in the back yard, clad in what would have shocked her great-grand- mother, when she heard the familiar honk of Johnny's convertible. She heard the gang shout to her, C'mon and go swimming with us, Suzie! In a few minutes Suzie was ready with bathing suit and towel in one hand, tennis racquet in the other. After shouting, Bye Mom, we'll buy our lunch at the park, she ran out to the car to join the rest of the gang, prepared for a day of fun at any of J 0plin's many parks, Page 11 Page 12 Coffecfing Jaffa for dw gofclen jugifee EOUL r 5' .ly .f ,Q-3 -5 .ag r use-...un The co-editors, Ann and Joyce, spent many long hours of research in early books.

The first annual published in our school was in 1900. From this book we have taken almost all of our 4'Recalling Yesterdays . The class of 1900 found that almost every member was planning to go to college. Since they did not Want to forget their school days, an annual was printed for the students to keep as a memory book, The name, Sigma Kappa Alpha CSenior Class Annualj, was chosen. In 1901, because of the lack of funds, school closed at the end of the seventh month-so there could be no annual. In 1903 there seemed to be no interest in a yearbook. Some tell us there Was an annual in 1904, others say there was not, but in either case, no publication for that year could be found. Nothing definite could be found until 1912. The 1912, 1913, and 1914 books were Without names, only dates being used, The 1915 book was called High School Annual . The 1916 students Wanted a real name- so the n was dropped from Joplin and to the i'Jopli', the abbreviation for Missouri, HMO , was added-making the name JOPLIMO. From 1916 to the present time the annual of each class has improved in size and quality. This 1950 JOPLIMO, our Golden Jubilee book, We hope will be the best ever to be published in J. H. S. ,g..,,3i.v ,.

Manual Training is a department of education that systematically teaches the theory and use of tools, the nature of common materials and the elementary process in the more common industrial arts. The Joplin High School stands for rational methods in teaching the manual arts. It is in- tended that the work in the school will prepare pupils for real work in the home and the community. The course in manual training is planned to cover two years of High School work. Mechanical Drawing is offered to a limited number of third and fourth-year pupils who have taken the Manual Training Course. Sewing and cooking, are also classed as manual training subjects. In this age of specialization and practical application of knowledge, there is a demand for special and distinctive training for women in education.

But under our principalls guidance, Joplin High School is ever advancing. Mr. Deatherage's main interest is improving the school, and he Works tire- lessly toward this goal. Although, While in his office, We are treated with the greatest respect, and We feel and see this mild manner of his, erring students leave his office with another story. He has an almost super- natural power of holding the attention of an audience by telling those strange fanciful tales of a mystic realm, In his years of service to our school, he has learned the needs and likes of the students and faculty. We may find him walking around the school at any time to see that everv- thing is running smoothly. He is ever striving for better educational methods. His patient and understanding manner has endeared him to all the students.

VVe can truly say that no class before us has had such excellent efforts put forth in our behalf. Our beloved teachers piloted us struggling seniors through four difficult years. With us they knew discouragement and fading hope. But through their painstaking efforts, We, the class of 1900, feel safe in saying that to thern We owe much. We can truthfully say that they have been our greatest friends and benefactors. We feel that through the years to come we will be bound together by their strength and vision. To those who have had faith in us, let us be truly grateful. 706lCLg' Sixfy gfhcienf QCLCAQIAZS 1 MKS. ISROYYN Dean of Girls MK. PENNINGTON Vice Principal efmkv- vwwat f Q, 1 QV! ui MR.

The Class of 1900 first saw the light of existence one morning in September, four years ago, when we assembled in the dim little chapel in the old high school building on Jackson Avenue. Ah, what an important epoch in our lives that day markedll Finally, last September We became the Seniors of Nineteen Hundred. Awed by the thought that a class of such superior graces had reached a position so exalted, We managed to maintain the grave decorum traditionally expected of Seniors for nearly an entire Week-MA strong Hespirit de corps has held us firmly together. 1 'LAS We leave, We feel a pain of regret that our school days are over, but our hearts will always be With the school Where We have spent so many pleasant and happy hours.

The National Honor Society was formed in 1921 to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to promote worthy leadership, to stimulate a desire to render service, and to encourage the development of character in high school students. The society has stead- ily grown in prestige and influence. There are 3384 chapters in senior high schools and 531 junior high school chapters in the United States. 4' e.c,.',, ,.,.

W 4. .- This class has outstanding members who promise to become prominent leaders of the class of '51, lt is hard to believe that these cocky juniors are the same ones who last year went up the down stairs, and down the up stairs, for this year they are no longer shy sophomores, but having rid themselves of their inferiority, they now stand on the middle rung of the ladder of education. The junior class as a Whole is mighty proud of its leaders, andis looking forward to ruling the roost next year.

H. S. Each year We are confident the junior class play is the best ever-and we are justified in saying that standard has not fallen down any this year. Meet Me in Saint Louis played to a capacity audience both nights, and brought down the house with the hilarious antics of the Smith family. The credit goes not only to the hard work of the cast, but also to the director, Mr. Lloyd Bell, head of the speech department, Who has made a name for himself by presenting successful and highly entertaining plays in the two years he has been with J. H, S. ln the annual J oplimo Queen contest, the high-and-mighty seniors could not be so cock-sure of themselves With the competition that lovely Mary Lou, junior candidate, presented.

We were young, fresh and green and furnished a great deal of amusement for the more dignified sophomores, juniors, and seniors. But when we became sophomores, We rebelled at the idea of being laughed at any longer and held our heads so high and deported ourselves With such dignity, that a stranger was unable to ascertain Whether We Were seniors or teachers. lt is necessary for us to pass through these two stages before becoming Juniors, the time when We have really acquired good commonsense. We are Juniors now, and although many have fallen by the Wayside, there are thirty-four of us, who have long ago accomplished many of the things which the seniors are still striving for. In fact, we are truly a most learned, industrious, and inter- esting class UD. Home Room 213 - B AdvisorfMrs. Baumann .

On January 10, 1899, eight boys met in one of the class rooms and organized a new society. After much discussion, they chose the name it now bears, The Augustan Assembly. On February 28, 1899, the society decided to edit a High School paper, calling the same the 'tEchoes of the Joplin High School . . . It is now on a level with the best High School papers in the country. mln addition to its regular literary Work, the Society once a month meets as a Continental Congress, to discuss different questions of the day, and improve their ability for making extemporaneous speeches. At the present time the assembly is in a very flourishing condition, the membership having increased to twenty-five. The society is one of the leading social factors of the High School, and Whenever the Augustan Assembly is present at an affair, everyone knows that they will have a good time.

Some are interest clubs, others are liter- ary clubs. In September societies began with a series of mixers. There were picnics, Weiner roasts, hay-rides, kid parties and other interesting diversions of entertainment. These Were the main fac- tors in introducing the neophytes or the so-called sophomores to the expectant brothers and sis- ters, the juniors and the seniors. Many interesting and unique programs were presented at the Thursday meetings. Special at- tention Was given to the various holidays. Much hidden talent among the members Was dis- covered. Much rivalry was shown among the various societies as to Whose bulletin box was the most attractive. The year closed with dinner-dances, more hay-rides, picnics, and square dances in honor of the departing senior members. Altogether the societies had another eventful year of building character and developing culture.

BILL QUIGG Governor of Boys, State girzi, Sfafe eibekgafea Ronnie Powell, Pat Robertson, Bill Quigg, Terry Kramer, Each year the civic clubs of Joplin send a selected group of high school students to Boys' and Girls, State. Here, for one full week, these future leaders learn how our government is run. The wonderful experiences that went together to make that short week will never be forgotten- the classes, assemblies, parties, games, the trip to the Capitol and Gover- nor,s Mansion at Jefferson City, climaxed by the campaigns and elections, in which both girls and boys participated with enthusiasm. We were indeed fortunate to bring back the top office from Boys' State-the first time Joplin has ever won this distinction, which is certainly a bright feather in J. H. S. 's cap of top honors. Bill Quigg was elected Boys' State governor by the largest majority of votes ever recorded. And every other boy of this delegation held his own in competition with other cities by being elected to top offices. Charley was Secretary of the Nationalist Party, Bill, State Fire Marshall, Jack, City Councilman, Ronnie, Secretary to the Governor, Pat, Superintendent of the State Patrol, Governor Quiggg Terry, City Treasurer, and Lewis, the State Conservation Commissioner. But do not think for a minute that the boys made any more of an outstanding record than the girls. From this group below may come the first woman president! Who knows ? All of them were highly active in the campaigns, and elections. Barbara was elected County Fire Chief, Suzie, Sheriff, Ruth Marie, Pre- siding County Judgeg Wanda, State Patrol, Ann, County Clerk, Phyllis, County Treasurer, and Arlene, State Patrol. Yes, by training the youth of today in the principles of democracy, we will produce better citizens of tomorrow, Barbara Copps, Suzanne Speck, Ruth Marie Murray, Wanda Gayler, Ann Pendleton, Phyllis Thorn- ton, Arlene Schrader. union iuic rganizafion -away Row 1: Donald Miller, Bob Goff, Bob Larson, Ronnie Powell, Bill Wallace, Richard Johnson Dick Steinbeck, Sam Kemper, Kenneth Steele.

Besides the interesting programs regularly presented at the Monday night meetings, the boys have also made a record for them- selves at out-of-town conventions. At the district con- vention, held at Little Rock, Arkansas, February twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth, several of our boys took top honors. Bob Blankenship was elected Lieutenant Governor, and Jim Blackburn the District Secretary. On April eighth and ninth, a delegation of Key Club- ers attended the national convention at Columbus, Ohio.

Hi-Y-Youth and Government was the theme carried out this year. A prelegislative training session was held at Joplin Junior College to train for the convention at Jefferson City. State Representative Burdon attended, and several college professors gave talks on government. Five delegates were sent to Jefferson City to take part in the convention. Over one hundred fifty high school students from Missouri attended. The purpose was to learn how to draft and present bills in legislature. These students took over the government for a day and passed several bills. Among these bills were: Sex education should be taught in the schools, Colleges should be open to all races, and Driving tests should be required for all applicants for a license. Bill Wallace was elected Secretary of the Senate, and Ronnie Powell was chosen Clerk of the House. Joplin is very proud of the fine showing our boys made.

This staff of 1900 has pictured to you the faculty, seniors, and the under- classmen, societies, pictures of our athletic strong men, the school paper staff, and in no Way the least, ourselves, the staff of the 1900 Sigma Kappa Alpha. ln editorials We have recorded for you the history of all classes. We have prophesied as to our future, fWe hope our prophecies are not too far Wrong.J One division we feel certain you will enjoy reading is the Department of Amorology. We enjoyed Writing this and do hope that you will not take offense. 'tThe staff has also endeavored to bring to yo L1 the more serious side of our lives-the essays and speeches of the various seniors of the class. You will perhaps enjoy reading and having here in your memory book, such speeches as 'Phe American Volunteer', 'Lest We Forgeti, 'Our City', 'Les- sons of the Late Warl, and, We must not forget the valedictory speech, 'John Ruskin', which was so capably given. We appropriately close this summary of the 1900 annual with a few timely sentences taken from the Commencement address. 'On Friday evening, May 25, the brightest and best class that ever crossed the portals of a High School, gradua ted.' A most excellent program was rendered. Only four of the essays were given. The Valedic tory closed with the words, 'May the ties that bind us as a class hold on as friends forever? After a short address on the conditions of the school, President C. S.

They spent long hours in making the Student Directory more attractive, more interesting, and more informative this year than ever before. The many long lists of students' names, addresses, and phone numbers required much time. All in all, the business staff has Worked ex- tremely hard this year and not only produced a superior Student Directory, but also assisted the editorial staff in many different Ways. 1950 0,9 ima 1 Ann and Joyce, the co-editors of the Golden Jubilee J oplimo, have been quite busy this year keeping tab on the countless organizations and activities of J. H. S., procuring snaps around and about the school, and putting their many interest- ing ideas into Words. But this year, in addition to Watching for things of the present, they spent many long hours delving into J oplimos of the past to bring forth the numerous facts and figures for our Fiftieth Anniversary Book. And under the expert guidance and supervision of Mrs. Ulrici, they hope this year to have produced a yearbook which will long remain in the memories of the class of 1950. Ronnie and Kathleen Business Manager and Student Directory Editor Both the business staff and the editorial staff, although having different types of work to do, still have the same purpose: producing a successful book that will please everyone, And they do hope they have succeeded.

We considered that the past season has been a success from every stand point. We broke even in the number of games lost and Won, but the interest taken in the games by the student body and by the players themselves speaks well for the success of the games in the future. Basketball is a difficult branch of athletics to conduct in this school because of the lack of gym- nasium facilities. - The Captain-elect played a fast and furious game at guard. His smashing offensive work was a feature of all our games. Although the captain held down the other position and distinguished himself by his brilliant dribbling, all great men have their faults, and his irregular attendance caused him to be replaced several times by the little 'Wolf' who proved himself to be an able sub- stitute, and his steady playing went far toward the success of our signal Work. Center was the hard- est place to fill, Unfortunately, we have no human telegraph poles that are interested in the gentle art of basketball playing. The team was light, but developed a bewildering set of signals. 'J' jer- seys were awarded for the season's work to six of the team.

HUMPHREY-1917 Our Friend and Teacher Our football season was a great success. We traveled a littleu and saw other schools and compared them with ours, and we think we were not found wanting. We form- ed acquaintances very dear to us and have reminiscences which we will never forget. e Lcafe fn efzc iuidion In looking back over the years at outstanding people that have con- tributed much to our school, we would like to take this opportunity to dedicate the athletic section to Mr. Humphrey. We do not know of any other coach or teacher of the past that has given as much of his time and energy to athletics. Mr. Humphrey first came to J. H. S. in the fall of 1914 as assistant football and track coach, and instructor of physical geography. Rapidly gaining the confidence of the team, he led the boys through a victorious season. 'tOn Turkey Day, 1914, a much heralded and renowned team came up from Afton, Oklahoma. The coach really expected a hard game. However, it turned out a track meet, and we sent them back believers. Under Coach Humphrey's careful training and guidance, the next two or three seasons were ones for J. H. S. to be proud of. The 1917 record was especially good. In eight games we lost one, scored 101 points to our opponent's 6 and never had our goal line crossed during the entire season. In 1918 Mr. Humphrey, feeling the call to help his country and his fellow men, left J. H. S. and his many sincere friends to become a Y.M.C.A. Field Secretary at Camp Funston. Later he was transferred from Funston back to Joplin and was with the Y.M.C.A. here, waiting to serve his country when it needed him. He returned to the High School in 1919 at the beginning of the second semester and again entered into his career of coaching. In 1920 the football team not only won the Southwest Missouri and Mineral Belt Championships, but captured the championship of the State of Missouri as well. Mr. Humphrey will always be remembered for his spirited pep-talks in assembly. And down through the years the name Humphs will always be associated with good luck by the J. H. S. Eagles.

This touchdown was the deciding factor for the Joplin Eagles, making the final score 25 to 20. K'The football season of '99 was the most prosperous of any the High School has ever enjoyed. Our first game was with the Business College, whom we easily defeated 17 to 0. We scored 53 points over Webb City's O. We went to Fort Scott expecting to be defeated, and we were not disappointed: 30 to 6 was all. We defeated Carthage 29 to 0. The crowning event of the season was with Fort Scott in Joplin, and had it not been for their very rank referee, it would have been a remarkable game. His dyspeptic decis- ions in favor of his own team disgusted even his own players. He counted us out of 8 points that were as fair as any points ever scored on a gridiron. Not withstanding these 8 points the score was 6 to 6 at the close. We de- feated the teams 14 to 6, but we could only play a tie game with the referee. We closed the season at Fayette- ville, Arkansasg playing the 2nd U. Team of that place. The score was 11 to 10 in their favor.

Beavers shoots a short pass to Oliver, who makes a great catch over the goal for a TOUCHDOWN. THE GAME IS TIED!

S pringfield 13 Page 68 One day as Coach Kaminsky was sitting on the field, he accidentally noticed a group of boys playing at the far end of the field. One boy, apparently without effort, and with perfect rhythm, would run to the ball, kick it, and, time after time, it would go over squarely between the goal posts. Then a group of grade-schoolers would retrieve the ball, set it up with adoration, and he would kick it again. Later, said'Coach Kaminsky: I ran to the boy, a junior, took him to the lockers, gave ,him the newest football suit I had, tore open a box of new football shoes, and took him out to the field. Then he tried time after time to kick the ball over the goal-and missed. f'Once more we went to the lockers and he put on his street shoes, returned to the field, and scored repeatedly. Since that day I have kept him close by me like a lucky piece. Then as you know, came the Thanksgiving Day Game with Springfield. The score 13 to 0 at the end of the half was in favor of our opponents. The Eagles came out, and eventually evened up the score. The Springfield Bulldogs had failed to make their second goal point and when Joplin made her second touch- down, the huge crowd was quiet, but the suspense was terrific. Coach Kaminsky turned to his lucky piece and sent him to the field. Without looking at the crowd and with apparently no concern, Duffy waited for the signal, then calmly ambled to the ball, and in his street shoes, kicked the winning point. Pandemonium reigned! Here we view a host of triumphant faces-as the vic- torious team leaves the field. it I , f- A.. 5 Duffy's Golden Slipper After the final winning point had been scored in the thrill-packed Turkey Day Game, the crowd rushed onto the field to congratulate the weary but very happy Joplin team.

Megee, Joplin High School R.O.T.C. instructor, took over last year as manager of the team and was very well liked from start to finish. He produced team spirit, co-operation, sports- mahship, and a winning ball club throughout the season with the aid of the young Joplin athletes. In the fifteenth zone tournament the Joplin team placed first in a field of four entries in the double elimination event. The teams that entered were Clinton, Rolla, Springfield, and Joplin. Joplin came back in a dramatic finish by defeating Springfield in a Sunday double header to take the title. Joplin was later eliminated from the state tournament by an eligibility rule and replaced by Springfield. Business manager for the team was Lloyd R. Buehner, and Russell Whetstone acted as official score-keeper. The team was under the sponsorship of Dan L. Stanley of the Rayl- Stanley Motor Company.

HAS. during the school year of 1949-1950. Just before school started, Joplin produced the district champions in American Legion Junior Baseball. Then Football came into the picture and the Joplin High School Eagles ended a ,good season with a 14 to 13 win over Springfield. Spectators and fans of J. H. S. then switched from the grid-iron stadiums to the hardwood floors of basketball courts to watch Joplin surge on to their second State Champsionship. From there we go with the J. H. S. Thinclads to the stadium with the oval cinder tracks within them. The J. H. S. track team had a very successful season under the new track coach, Gordon Long. Enough said.'We think after reviewing the year's athletic events, everyone will admit that J. H. S. has had a great year in sports. .

This was the first orchestra that Joplin Senior High had that was notable enough to have its picture in the yearbook. The Orchestra this year has developed into the best organization of this kind our High School has had for several years. At the beginning of the school year in September, only about six or eight people were on hand for practice, but after Miss Mary Bingham took control of affairs more interest was manifested and things began to pick-up right away, The School Board bought some new music and practice began in earnest. Soon more students appeared and, by steady, hard work, were trained into their parts. Now an eighteen-piece orchestra furnishes music at our assemblies, and plays it in a manner that shows careful preparation and good training. At the 'Sigma-Lit' play, the orchestra played several selections. The directress has selected numbers which are fitting to the season, and Christ- mas, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, and other such occasions has brought, in music, a celebration of the day. A splendid program was rendered at the Senior Class Play given at the New Joplin Theater. The school should feel proud of this musical organization, and should especially be grateful to Miss Mary Bingham, the talented young violinist, who has given her time to the directing of the orchestra.

Fifty years ago, Joplin Senior High had no music department at all. By 1914, our school had an orchestra which had grown to the record- breaking size of eighteen. And today, in 1950, we feel we have the best music department yet. Not only do we have an outstanding , orchestra, which has given several concerts, and has provided music R for assemblies and other festivities, but we also have the band, which is also under the direction of T. Frank Coulter. The band matched the tempo of our exciting basketball and football games with stirring marches and school songs. And we often march into assemblies with the band playing songs which make for an appropriate setting of dignity. On spring days, we get just a touch of out-of-this-worldliness, when the orchestra plays a light dreamy number, that puts us in a land of make-believe. Both the band and orchestra participated in the music festival, and, naturally, both received high ratings. Another department of music at J. H. S. which plays an important part in our basketball and football games is our Girls' Drum Corps. We all took pride in the outstanding performance the girls gave at our all-important Thanksgiving game. They made a snappy showing in carrying out in- . U tricate drills. And sure proof of their good performance was that even Springfield gave them a hearty ovation! Of course we are quite proud of our Saint Cecilia Choir and Senior Choir, under the direction of Mr. Sovereign and Mr. Coulter. The Choruses are often called upon to create a mood of quietness and beauty in our special assemblies, such as the programs at Christmas, Easter, and during Religious - Emphasis Week. They also participated in the music festival, and re- ceived high ratings. Outstanding members of all the music depart- ments are eligible for membership in the Solo and Ensemble. This group meets every other Monday in the auditorium, thus providing opportunity for students to display their talent in solos or ensembles. Yes, whether you take our music divisions individually, or as a whole, they are hard to beat. And our only hope is, that our music department will be as outstanding in years to come as it has been this year-1950. BAND Row 1: Charlene Hackney, Frances Wilkins, Jeannie McPherson.

Betty Fanning made a pretty picture as she climaxed the processional of attendants, ladies in Waiting, pages, business managers, and flower girls. The students of J. S. had a difficult choice this year in selecting the Joplimo Queen. Each class did themselves proud in choosing Carol Lou Clark, Sophomore, Mary Lou Gullette, J unior-and Betty Fann- ing, Senior. Joplin High School certainly picked out three f'SWeethearts. if ., l -1 midd ,il-ann in 9 Queens are said to be tall and stately, but the choice of this year's student body is a petite bundle of charm who scarcely reaches five-foot-two.
