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.

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.
