The orchestra has more than doubled in number during the past four years, and although it will lose four by graduation, new members will enter from the grades next fall. This organization has about thirty members and is one of the best balanced school orchestras in the city. It has furnished the music for several civic affairs, chief of which were the Food Show, the Flower Show, the Music Festival and a Rotary Club luncheon. Besides furnishing music for all auditorium meetings at the school, it played for the Gymnasium exhibition, the Junior play, and the Senior play. Page Fifty-eight R ef .

It holds a definite place in the life of the school as the only girls' literary society. Members are required to be passing in all subjects and must not miss more than two meetings in succession. The outstanding social events of the year are the Christmas party, the Valentine party and the annual banquet given May 20 in honor of the senior members, their mothers and the new members. Miss Bertha Rightmire has sponsored the club since 1921. Page Sixty 1 R' A' T g gm, 4 Girl Reserve Club ,r ,, P Fi sl U Top Row: M. Hinton, E. Peter, D. Smiley, L. Harding, V, Aholtz, E. Berggren, N.

Early in the first semester we planned our Year Book which was designed in our national colors, blue and white. We have had roller-skating parties, sings, and interesting talks by Miss Margaret Stein, our Y. W. C. A. Counselor, and by some of our own faculty. One of our members, Helen Bowen, had the privilege of attending the Girl Reserve State Conference at St. Louis this spring, and as a result the local society feels more closely associated with the state organization. Our slogan is to face life squarely, and our purpose is to find and to give the best. We are making a sincere effort to live up to our slogan and purpose, and to make of ourselves better girls because of this.

All the members of the society appeared in The Hickville Opera House, which was given in assembly in March.

There are 429 chapters in the United States, and at present only two chapters in St. Joseph. The society recognizes those students wlao have most conspicuously profited by their undergraduate course, the members being chosen from the first fourth of the Senior class in scholarship. Besides scholarship the student must possess the qualities of leadership, character and service in a marked degree. Each member is entitled to wear the key of the society. The pin represents a keystone on which is mounted a blazing torch. At the top is the inscription National Honor Society and at the bottom the letters which stand for the four qualifications required. Membership in this organization is cherished as one of the greatest honors to be attained in a high school career. Page Sixty-five -, l Zbbaaewy. A-V 4: s , GLN?

In addition to Mr. Murphy, another coach was added to the department in the person of R. E. Rush, and he was of no little help in turning out the football team which made a showing equal to that of any Lafayette team of former years. The feature grid game ofthe year proved to be that with Argentine, which the Shamrocks won by a one-point margin. This was the only defeat of the season for the Argentinians and was a fitting climax to the' Green and Grey's season. The record for the year includes four games won, three lost and one tied, and it is a significant fact that there was not a single Weak opponent on the Shamrock's schedule. The second team furnished strong opposition for the first string men throughout the season and did much toward helping to turn out a winning eleven. This years basket ball team was up to the usual standard and the majority of games lost were played on foreign courts. In the first game with Central Coach Mur- phy's men accomplished what no other city school had done for five years, defeating Central 14-12 in an extra period game. Two additional games between Lafayette and Central were played, the last one for the championship of the city, and Central was victorious. The second team had a regular chedule this year, and although it did not win a large number of games, it has served to develop future prospects for the first team. There are seven letter men back for track this year and a good season is anticipated. Mr. Rush has been placed in charge of the squad and, with the experience he has had should turn out a winning aggregation. Page Sixty -seven Y . 0' . .

B. C. by a score of 12-2. A. Brown and Bell scored Lafayette's two touchdowns, while C. B. C.'s two points came as the result of a safety late in the fourth quarter. Flushed by their victory the week before, the Green and Greys traveled to Savannah where they administered a crushing defeat to the Andrew County eleven. The final count was 37-0. Deal made the most spectacular play of the game when he raced down the field forty yards before being downed by a Savannah tackler. l ' Playing on a muddy, slippery field, the Lafayette boys went down to a 13-0 defeat at the hands of the Central eleven October 17. Although the Shamrock backfield was a little slow in getting started, it put up a stiff fight. Crowell's punting and Clark's work at center were features of the game. ' With Crowell out of the game because of sickness and Bell on the in- jured list, the Shamrocks were held to a 6-6 tie by the Robidoux gridders on October 23. Deal made Lafayette's only touchdown, while Madden was responsible for Robidoux's six-pointer. The following week Doc's men traveled to Cameron where they lost to the Dragons by a score of 13-0. However, the game was much closer than the score indicates and the Shamrocks were in the game and fighting to the final whistle. Although outplayed in nearly every department of the game, the Sham- rocks won by a count of 6-0 over the Benton eleven on November 11. Lafayette s score came as the result of a 29-yard run by Young. Playing the second ame within a week, the Lafayette gridders were unable to defeat the stiong Marvville Spoofhounds, losing to that aggre- after a spectacular 85 yard run In the last game of the season Coach Murphy's men staged a battle that will o down in the annals of Iafay ette as one of the greatest of all time when they beat the hitherto undefeated Argentine eleven 14-13. Wilson at end played a biilliant game and was largely responsible for the stopping of Ash The Red Grange of the Missouri Valley. 1926. B+ ation 7 0 Cockayne one of Maiyvilles best, made their only counter i!-e 'jhe QAK K 43 Football Team Ernest Deal, captain and hall'-back, was the Green and Grey's most consistent ground gainer and was selected captain and half-back ol' the all-city team. Alfred Brown, half-back, played his second year as a member of the team and always gave a good account ot' himself. Marcus Bell, quarter-back, won his second stripe this year. Marcus is a Junioi and should be an important cog in the Murphy machine next year. Russell NVilson, left, end. played a consistent game throughout the season. He was given an end position on the all-city team. Oliver Didlo was a tackle, and a good one. He also made the all-city team. Gerald Bauerlein was a guard. VVhenever a yard or two was needed Jelly always had a hole open. Elwood Clark, last year's center, returned this year and tore things up. He was Lowell Frazer as guard played his first year as a. regular and was a constant worry to his opponents. Thomas Ross was the regular right tackle, This was his first year on the team and Doc expects great things of him next season. Elwood Brown is captain-elect, for 1926, and with his experience he should lead the Shamrocks through a successful season. Bernard Hoover proved himself a versatile athlete, playing tackle, quarter-back half-back. and full-back with equal effectiveness. Leslie Hogue played at guard and full-back and is expected to develop into a bright and shining star next, year. Harry Crowell, regular full-back and triple-threat man, was considered the best punter in the city, He was placed on the all-city team for the second time. Pa gc Sixty-nine a guard on the all-city team. f 1 fix Basket Ball Games On January 8, the Shamrocks opened the basket ball season by defeating the Chillicothe cagers, 29-23 in a well played contest. On the night after its victory over Chillicothe the Green and Grey annexed its second victory by taking a close contest from the Excelsior Springs five, 22-20. Southwest High School of Kansas City made its first appearance on a local court when Coach Murphy's men defeated that quintet by the one-sided score of 20-12 on Jan- uary 16. Armstrong made the spectators sit up and take notice when he dropped in five counters from all angles of the court. In the first intra-city game of the season Lafayette's squad romped on Benton by a count of 21-18, for its fourth consecutive win of the season. Playing the second game within two nights the Shamrocks lost to the Cameron Dragons by a score of 17-16 January 23, on the enemies court. E. Brown and Hoover performed creditably for Lafayette in this game. On January 30, the Lafayette team again invaded foreign territory when it traveled to Argentine, losing to that' school's strong aggregation by a score of 41-13. With Crowell, A. Brown, and Armstrong out of the game, Benton's fighting quintet revenged itself February 5 for its defeat three weeks before by beating Lafayette 26-11 on the South-end court. The Shamrocks were unable to solve the defense of the strong Maryville five in frequency. Score 41-17, Maryville. Forced to play an extra five-minute period, the Green and Grey five defeated the Central quintet on February 13, by a score of 14-12 on the Central floor. Crowell, husky Shamrock guard, was the star of the game, sinking a long shot in the extra period which spelled defeat for the Hill-toppers. On February 19, Lafayette lost a slow game to the Liberty five by a score of 25-19. Frazer was high-point man for Lafayette with nine points to his credit. ' In the second game between Lafayette and Central, February 20, the Hill-Toppers were victorious 21-20 in another extra-period game. With Central in the lead by 3 points near the end of the extra period Armstrong sank a long shot, but that ended the Lafayette scoring and the game ended with Central in the lead. In a week-end trip to Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kansas, Lafayette dropped two games, losing to Southwest High 26-23 on February 26, and to Kansas City CKansasJ Central, 20-15 on the following evening. In the final contest of the season, Coach Murphy's men met the Central quintet in the City Auditorium to decide the championship of the city. Lafayette was again the loser by a one point margin, the final score being 14-13.

Ernest Deal captain and center Won his fourth letter this year and played a steady consistent game throughout the season. He was awarded a place on the all-city team for the second time. Harry Crowell husky guard and long shot artist broke up many a game by one of his long heaves. He was given a guard position on the all-city five. James Armstrong forward was one of the most dependable point-getters on the team being high-point man in several games. He was captain of the second all-city Bernard Hoover was the running mate of Armstrong at forward and he always played a creditable game. He will be back next year fighting for the Green and Grey. Alfred Brown was the fast shifty little guard who always kept the opposing for- wards on the move. This is Windys last year as a member of the squad. Lowell Frazer was shifted from guard to forward but he played just as well in the latter position. He will return next year and he should be a great help to the team. Russell VVilson won his first letter in basket ball this year playing at guard. He will graduate this spring. Elwood Brown was one of the fastest men on the team and he played equally well at any position. He will be back again next year. Page Seventy-one I .

Lafayette carried off first honors with 59 points, Savannah placed second with 445, and Troy brought up the rear with 37V2 points. Alfred Brown starred in this meet by winning first in three events: the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash and the broad jump. In addition he was a member of the winning medley relay team. At Maryville we did not make such a good showing, Brown placing third in the 220-yard dash. Central took the city meet and Lafayette placed second. A. Brown. with 12 points E. Brown 45, Crowell 3 points, and Krumrei 1. The track season of 1924 Cnot covered in the 1925 Oakh was the best in Lafayette's history. Botsford, McClain and Deal each received a gold medal at Maryville for the 100-yard dash, the high jump and half-mile run, respectively, and each took a second place in the Cameron meet. In addition to those mentioned above the following won letters: Alfred Brown, Elwood Brown, Harry Crowell, Harold Dewey, Joseph Jacobs Fred Krumrei and Russel Wilson.

Evans, M. Reital, E. Hill, I. Davis, H Bowen. This year's volley ball team, under the able supervision of Miss Bonnie Cotteral girls throughout the season has given Lafayette reason to be proud of them. The record for the season includes two games won and four lost. Perhaps this is not an exceptional record from the standpoint of games won, but the season may well be considered a suc- cess in that it did much toward putting girls, athletics in a more prominent place at the school. Although every member of the team has performed creditably, We feel that it is only fitting to make some mention of the captain, Ella Hill, Whose untiring effort and her love of fair play have been worthy examples for her team-mates to follow, THE SEASONS RECORD Oct.

But perhaps the most interesting contest of the season was the first Robidoux game which was won in the last few seconds ot' play by a one-point margin. The t'our teams of the city were very evenly matched, and the city championship was in doubt, until the end of the season.
