Our own Lafayette is not merely the outcome of the efforts of a few men' of today. In a larger way it isnthe result of the valiant efforts of our forefathers. As a river is the accumulation of waters from many sources, so is the High School the embodiment of the aspirations of many men Awhose names may be forgotten now, but to whose spirit and foresight we, as students, owe an everlasting debt. An additional purpose of this book islthat of every yearbook, to make and preserve a record of the past year. 1 .zz f-Q ::' N ... Q :L-,.-',- X 7', : '-'.f ' Q faq v I. Administration . II.

It became evident that the old Latin grammar school type of education was inadequate for the youth of America. The result was the rise of a tuition academy. The most characteristic features of these academies were their broader course of study, their religious purpose and the extension of their instruction to girls. The old Latin school was a free school, maintained by the towns for the higher instruction of the sons of the wealthy. It was aristocratic. The academy, offering a broader opportunity, was a step toward democracy. One of the main purposes expressed in the creation of the academy was to establish courses in a number of subjects, valuable aside from being a mere preparation for college, useful in preparing youths for the larger opportunities in business, and society. A new emphasis on the study of English, mathe- matics, and book science was noticeable. New subjects appeared as the academies increased in number and importance. Among the new subjects were: algebra, astronomy, botany, chemistry, philosophy, declamation and debating. In religious matters the academies represented a change. They were pervaded by a religious spirit, yet they were kept free from the doctrines of any particular church. The functions of the academy were: to lay the foun- dations for the American free public school: to teach the GREAT AND REAL BUSINESS OF LIVING. The academy represents the period during which democratic ideals were taking shape in the American mind. It continued until these democratic ten- dencies turned to the idea of free public high schools. The history of the American high school, proper, began in 1821-. It was in that year that the first high school in the United States was established at Boston, Massachusetts. This was a school for boys. In 1823 Boston opened a high school for girls which was abolished five years later. The boys' school was a three-year school. Its teachers were required to have been educated at some university. English, declamation, sciences, math- ematics and its application, history and logic were the primary studies. r in i ii 1928 it in I Page Five 5, 1 ll ll . ,.,..,T,,,,-. A. tv, , uv an raihzabuhi ' it at '-17 ' The aim of the first high school was purely American in the ideals it embodied. These ideals were: to furnish young men of the city with the means of completing a good English education g to fit them for active life or qualify them for eminence in private or public station. The development of the American high school was at first very slow. The cost of maintenance was a factor in this. The school movement met with the same opposition we find today-the opposition to increased taxation. Even after the establishment of a high school in a community, constant watchful- ness was necessary to prevent its abandonment. Up to 1880 the public high school had made little headway. This was due in part to the Civil War. However, after 1880, a rapid growth began. There were probably 500 high schools in 1870, in 1890, the number was increased to 2526. Legislative ob- jection to the establishment of schools had practically ceased because people had become accustomed to the idea that public support of high schools was necessary in a democracy. VVhile not originally begun with the idea of preparing young people for college, the high school soon manifested this purpose. Since 1900, however, laboratory sciences, manual, domestic and agricultural subjects have occupied a large place in the course of study. The introduction of new subjects was so rapid that the course of study became poorly organized. The results were: the extension of the high school course to four years, the introduction of elec- tive courses, and the custom of a number of parallel four-year courses. Today we have in our many high schools, courses such as the classical, the scientific, business, manual art, household art, agricultural, teacher training and special vocational courses. The American high school has become a place for trying out boys and girls, for developing tastes, for testing capacities, and for opening up life op- portunities. As our civilization grows the responsibility of each individual to society increases, and the' responsibility of society must increase correspond- ingly. This fact has come to be recognized and our country is providing for further improvements of the public school system. It is the duty of the American Youth to make the best of the educational opportunities given him by his forefathersg to educate and prepare himself for responsibility he must bear as a member of society. 1928 it ui 1 Page Six Y F W ADMINISTRATION 1 I ., ov X .1 4. - !iI,w'1-1' , vbofqgul .21-i' . ja ,Q .vi , Q J., n , - f F. u . 4: . , s I .': -. 1 f'- f TY ' A W if 7 - .

The leader's part is to define that purpose for us, and to keep us 'conscious of it. His task is to keep our hopes alive, to quicken our faith in the values whose realization is our common undertaking. NV e are happy in believing that our leaders are faithful to their task, that they are guided by a ripe experience and by the wisdom of a deep concern for our welfare.

CLASS HISTORY S green but energetic freshmen we entered Lafayette in September, 1924. Almost immediately we won the recognition of the upper classmen by selling the most tickets to the Fun Fest. For this we were rewarded by having our name engraved on the Fun Fest cup. As sophomores we won the second prize in the Oak subscrip- tion contest. When there was anything to be done we were always ready to do our share. - During our junior year we presented the cogxedy, Bah, entertained the seniors royally at the Roiidoux Hotel, and succeeded in getting our colors on the flag pole. VVe were 100 per cent in our subscription to the 1927 Oak. At last as dignified seniors, We gave a party for the juniors, presented the senior minstrel, and published the 1928 edition of the Oak. We wish to express our gratitude to the faculty for the interest they have taken in our class. We are especially grateful to Mr. Dailey, who has been a true friendg to Miss Slater, who was our sponsor during our first three yearsg to Miss Gallagher, our sponsor for a part of this last yearg to Miss Gilbreath, for her assist- PAUL H' DEATON ance with the senior minstrelg and to Mr. Deaton, whose - Sponso' aid and friendship we greatly appreciate.

T rcusurw' COLORS-Orchid and Silver CLASS HISTORY HE class of 1929 has completed its third lap of the high school course and is de- termined to carry on successfully the traditions set by preceding classes. This class entered Lafayette High School the first of September, 1925 with an enrollment of 150. As freshmen they won the Light subscription contest and sold the most Fun Fest tickets. This was the first class as freshmen to present a play. The play pre- sented was The Travelers, INA C. YVACHTEL Sponsor lr ll il Page Twenty-four by Booth Tarkington. As sophomores the class dwindled a bit in number but not in enthusiasm, and school spirit. This year this group of students were known by the name of Junior Class. A few facts concerning the class and its members are: Gladys Elder, a junior girl, was made Fun Fest Queen because her class was third in the ticket sale: seven juniors made the football team and five made basket ball teams. On the evening of March 22, 1928, the junior class presented its class play, The Three Gracesf' It has been said that this was one of the best plays ever presented at Lafayette. There was one thing more-the annual Junior-Senior Banquet which was given May 9. This affair brought to alclose the year's activities of an active, hopeful class, the Seniors of 1929. 1928: IK -lint - -'-' 'RT an nahnapakx ll vi 1 MILDRED ALLEN MARGARET BEAUCHAMP LEROI BECK HENRY BLUM PAULINE BROCE HERMAN BRIGHAM MARGUERITE CALVERT NORMAN CODER ' JOHN CREAL VVILSON CRONK NViIs0n is graduating' with the Class of 1928.

It has made its presence felt, especially during the past year, as its members have been prominent in all important projects of the school. In the Fun Fest ticket selling contest this class ranked first, thus securing the honor of electing William Litz, the class president, King of the Fun Fest. The class also won the privilege of having its name inscribed on the Fun Fest cup. This was the second time this honor has fallen to this class. The interest of the sophomores in music was attested by the fact that they sold more tickets to the school operetta, Bits O' Blarney, than any other class: Then too, Kathryn Stone, a sophomore, had the lead in this operetta. The scholastic standing of the sophomores was demonstrated by the fact that twelve members of the class won places on the honor roll for the first semester of this year. In athletics the sophomores have done their share to bring honor to the school. Seven of them have played on the football and basket ball teams. The sophomore girls' volley ball team won the school tournament, while the girls' basket ball team of the class placed second. Lewis Sanders, a track star, won the greatest number of individual points at the Liberty meet. He also represented Lafayette at the state meet at Columbia. The crowning achievement of the year was the victory of the sophomores in the apple blossom contest. Because they sold more blossoms than did any other class, their candidate. Kathryn Campbell, was crowned Queen of the Apple Blossom Festival at the city Auditorium, April 25. OFFICERS FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER William Litz ..,,.......... .,.....

This number was some- what increased by the new accessions in January, They felt lost at first, but as time went on, and they became better acquainted with the school, teachers, and their classmates, they entered into the true Lafayette spirit. The freshmen have exhibited exceptional talents on several occasions. They directed a side-show at the Fun Fest called The Family Fight, which was a decided success. The receipts of this show were almost fifteen dollars. In addition to this, members of the class helped in the sale of eskimo pies and novelties. The annual Thanksgiving assembly program was furnished by the freshmen. Those who took part in the program were: George Karol, Eleanor Johnston, Gertrude Schnip- pel, Sophie Krankers, Dorothy Crawford and Neva Reed. On Loyalty Day the freshmen wore green and gray head bands. At assembly on that day George Karol made a speech, during which eleven freshmen boys stood up in the balcony, displaying the slogan, BEAT CENTRAL. The names of nine freshmen graced the first semester honor roll. Many other members have worked hard this year. The class as a whole has taken a real interest in the activities of Lafayette. The class has remembered with flowers the families of Paul Tomlison, Macie Spicer and Frances Stahl in their sorrow.

Miss Logan Gilbreath, assisted by other members of the faculty, directed the production. The school orchestra played the operetta score, with Fern Wild as accompanist. A The plot of the operetta centered about Peggy, who seemed to Patrick just a bit o' blarney. The other youths forgot their sweethearts in a sudden infatuation for Peggy. Peggy really loved Patrick, but she had first to find a plan to cure these Iovesick youths. This she did and the operetta ended happily.

This was a diversion from the usual class play and proved a great success. The minstrel proper consisted of instrumental and vocal solos. choruses, dances and jokes. The Coontown Thirteen Club was a one-act play. Thirteen aristocrats of Coon- town have organized a suicide club. The play tells the story of the first annual banquet of this club.

All of the schools played were worthy oppo- nents and could have given any team a good battle. Although the team lost seven of the eight games played, prospects for a winning combination for next year are the brightest they have been in years. There will be thirteen letter men with which to form a champion- ship team. Only three letter men are to be lost to the team through gradu- ation and they are: Burnard Parker, Earl Liebig and Harold James. The first game of the year was played at Cameron on a muddy field. The Dragons were much heavier than the Shamrocks, both in the line and the back field. XYith the heavy odds that were against the Lafayette eleven, the fellows made a good showing, in what was the first game for many of them. The game ended with Cameron on the long end of a 20-0 score. Argentine High School was the next opponent for Lafayette. In this game the Shamrocks displayed a good defense especially in the second quarter when they held the Kansans 'Y g 1 9 2 gi veg: eees W-V 'klf La c:11 :'t :I Page Fifty I.. ' L, .. WAT-1 i -H V waht -1 I til---1 r 'i'! i1-3 within the two-yard line. The play- ing of the Shamrocks was much im- proved at this game as was evidenced by the fact that the heavy Argentine eleven defeated them, I3-O. According to the advance dope, the Excelsior Springs High team was expected to be as light as the Shamrocks. But as usual the dope was wrong. This team was as heavy as the other teams played, or heavier. This was the first home game but the Shamrocks with all their fight were unable to hold Ex- celsior Springs and the game ended 39-o in favor of the southern school. Peanuts Neudorff scored Lafay- ette's first touchdown in the fourth game of the season. The game was played against Maryville, a high school that always has a strong team on the field. Although the Sham- rocks did make eight points in this game, the Spoofhounds made four touchdowns and Lafayette lost its fourth straight game of the year. The first gridiron victory of the year for the Shamrocks was long in arriving, but the Green and Gray warriors made up for the defeats suf- fered, by gaining a one-sided victory over the representatives from the Shack over on the boulevard. La- fayette defeated Christian Brothers High School that afternoon, 25-O. The touchdowns were made by ---L, . -3- .W .

Timm Smith and tall Burnarcl Parker kept the Shack players from making gains of more than four or five yards. ln the second inter-city game of the year, the Shamrocks were de- feated hy Renton. Two beautiful passes, thrown by Lester Penny, were responsible for the touchdown Lafayette made in the third quarter of the game. The first one went to Neudorff and the second to Bill Litz. The captain of the team made a nice catch behind the South End- ers' goal line. for six points. The Green and Gray pigskin car- riers played a good game against the Savannah High School team in the seventh game of the season. Wiarren Frye picked up a hloeked punt in this game and carried it to the five-yard line, where Lewis Sanders converted it into a touchdown in two line plunges. Tommy lfarnan played a good game. The score was I3-6 in favor of Savannah. The last game of the season was that with the Blue and lYhite of Central High School. Although the Hilltoppers took the long end of the score, no one can accuse the Sham- rocks of not fighting till the final whistle.

After Peanuts was forced to leave the field early in the game on account of injury, Otto Michel played a good tackling game at end. Two seniors, Earl Liebig and Harold .lames played their last games for the Green and Gray. when they threw the heavy Central backs for losses. Burnard Parker, another senior, fought for all he was worth through- out the game. Yes. the team had a losing season. llutl Give them credit for fighting every game from start to finish. 'l'hey did not let up once. 'l'hirteen of those men will be back next year fighting again for the Green and Gray. -Xt the same time do not forget the second stringers. Many of them will probably make the first team next year. They should be given the credit for warming the bench during the past season and waiting patiently for their time to fight for the Green and Gray and earn the right to wear the coveted Among those who are expected to make the grade next year are: Raymond Chitwood. Logan Slaybaugh, Paul Kafka. lVesley l'arvin and Roy Asher.

These were Hadley, Litz, Blum and Neudorff. The team was light and was forced to fight hard for every victory. Strength was added to the team by recruiting members of last year's second team. Outstanding among these were Sanders, Didlo. Penny and Nusser. Of the sixteen games played this season, six were won by the Shamrocks. The season opened December 16, at Bethany. In this first game the Shamrocks showed fight and won, 32-30. Hadley and Litz played good floor g2111lCS. Good defensive work was shown on the parts of Blum, Didlo and Sanders. December 22, the Lafayette bas- keteers fell before the rangy team from K. C. Manual, by a score of 32-11. Hadley and Nusser played very good games for the Shamrocks. In the first game with Savannah, January 6, Lafayette was handed the short end of a 25-24 score. However, January 28, Savannah re- ceived the short end. The score was 16-9. The night following this vic- tory, the Benton Cagers won from Lafayette, 47-18. Again on Janu- ary 27, the Benton crew repeated the victory, this time by a 41-6 score. Friday, the thirteenth proved a jinx for C. B. H. S. The Sham- rocks took the Brothers into camp on the new floor. The score was 25-6, in favor of the Shamrocks. It was a rough game with few but sure shots. This action was repeated February II, when Lafayette won, 26-13. .am .. 1928---ve-'--r--1 Page Fifty-four I Y -' 'F ll 17 1 Gfhgffaukr 'xii' II 1 The following Saturday, th e Shamrocks fell before the attack of li.

Later the Dragons re- paid the visit, but went home disap- pointed, having been handed a 21-17 defeat. A new month of the season op- ened with competition furnished by the Maryville quintet. and keen com- petition it was for Lafayette came home with the small part of a 22-12 score. In the Big Game with Central's five, Lafayette put up the scrap of the season, only to be outclassed in the final period. The Central team pulled away to a 32-19 score in the last half. The visitors from K. C. East High proved too much for the Shamrocks in the meeting on the Lafayette court, February 17. The visitors won, 32-17. In the closing game of the sched- uled season, Lafayette ended the sea- son as it began it, with a win. In this game Excelsior Springs was outclassed, but by a small margin, as the 28-27 score indicates. NVith the season ended, hopes were placed on the city tournament. The Shamrocks won third place. In the tournament play, Davis, Litz and Hadley were the outstanding players. At the close of the tourna- ment, Hadley was chosen captain of the all-city second team. l H 1 V oi is l928 it as a Page Fifty-five i' ' 1, ' .. iarhzgpak.

The team entered three major track meets and emerged victorious from two of them. The boys added seven cups to the trophy case, five of which are permanent trophies. In every meet entered the fleet runners of Lafayette turned in ex- ceptionally fine records. QAt the XVilliam Jewell meet, held at Lih- erty, Missouri, 5 April 15, 19.27, Norman C o d e 1' broke the existing mile record, low- ering it to 4 min- utes, 57.9 seconds, Thompson Taylor and E.

Out of the 46 schools that were entered, Lafayette was the only St. joseph school to place. The medley relay team, composed of Taylor, Kersey, Thompson an d Brown, emerged fifth in standing. The Shamrocks captured the high honors in the Missouri XVesleyan Meet at Cameron, Missouri.

Louis San- ders, high point man of the Sham- rocks for the season, won two first places at Cameron. The Lafayette relay team won a cup also. Again at the city meet the Lafay- ette team came out victorious, this time with a total of 57 points. As the Oak goes to press it is too early to give the results of the 1928 track season. But, the results of one is known. Lafayette entered seven men in the NVilliam Jewell Col- le g e Invitation meet at Liberty and tied with Cen- tral for fo u r t h place. Lewis San- ders, our Harold Osbourne the sec- ond, tied for high- p o i nt honors in that meet w i t h five points in the high jump a n d five more in the broad jump. The sophomore class was victorious in the class meet held this year on the athletic field. Their athletes scored 66 points, but were hard pressed by the juniors, who scored 63. The other meet this year was at Cameron. The city meet will be the last meet of the year and will be held at Packer's Field, May 19. i r 'Ii lb-- 1928l I qt! i I 1 Page Fifty-seven '--..i...,, I '1 ll lmihewakl ar at 1 RIFLE TEAM AFAYETTE can again boast of the best marksmen in the city.

As in other sports the four class teams were formed.

Due to the fact that there was no all-school team, more time was devoted to class teams a.nd more girls took part. Class teams, proved a beneficial factor in the athletic program. In addition to the good they accomplished in the physical development of the girls, the games were characterized by a keen but good- natured rivalry such as makes any athletic contest worth while. - Every member of a team has one hundred points added to her credit in the Girls' Athletic Association, which is in charge of all contests. VOLLEYBALL A The sophomores were the undefeated champions in the volleyball tournament. The junior-senior team came second with a total of two games won while the freshmen came last. Because there were not enough seniors in several of the sports, the juniors and seniors were combined into one team. Thirty-seven girls received points in this sport. From all appearances the sophomore team will uphold its title again next year. VOLLEYBALL SCORES J unior-Senior Sophomore .,.,.. ........ Sophomore ...... ........ Sophomore ...,.. .,..,...

The membership of the society each semester consists of those students who made an average of 90 or above in at least three solids the preceding semester. The object of the organi- zation is to establish a higher standard of scholarship at Lafayette High School, to encourage those making good grades to continue their work, and to induce those not making good grades to put forth greater effort. This society is sponsoring Chapter 429 of the National Honor Society and presented the emblem to each of the nine seniors chosen for membership this year.

Since Lafayette's library opened in 1924, the work has been done by student librarians. However, it was not until the current year that these have been rewarded in any way or organized. The club has as its aim the improvement of its members as librarians. This is the only school organization in which service to the faculty and student body is the re- quirement for membership. Membership is restricted to those who have been or are now librarians.

It is composed of thirty girls, who are striving to develop the purpose of their club, which is to promote literary and social opportunities. In doing this they are stimulat- ing in school girls an interest in literature and music, at the same time promoting friend- ship and higher ideals. Students will long remember the Franz Schubert program given by the Sesoras January 6. This program was representative of the interests and abilities of these girls. The year's social program included several parties at homes of the members. An initiation party was held at the home of Bernice Wuerth and a delightful Christmas party at the home of Florence Hoffelmeyer. A St. Patrick's Tea for the mothers and faculty, and the annual banquet for the departing seniors and their mothers completed the Sesora year.

The society was organized in the spring of 1923 by a group of eight boys who felt the need of an organization for the pro- motion of interest in music, dramatics and various forms of art. Since that time this society has appeared in plays and concerts, at least once a year and has made a prac- tice of giving half of its income to some school project. This year its chief dramatic performance consisted of two short plays-A- Winning an Heiress and The Amateurs. which were especially enjoyable because of the boys appearing in the roles of girls. Among the social affairs of the society this year were the reception given to the faculty and to the mothers of the boys, on April 19. and the annual spring party given at the home of Albert Kost on April 27.

VVill the features we cherish endure very long? VV ill it still offer equal opportunities to the boy and girl? VVill it wisely balance freedom and duty and offer each the opportunity to realize his best in his own life and develop in each an honest interest in the lives of his fellows? As long as young people gather in high school halls we know that friend- ships will prosperg Living, to them will always be more important than learn- ing. The search for Happiness will always cause more zeal than the search for Knowledge. Youth will have faith in its future, and be lightly concerned about remote things. Yet, its sense of values may be true. Youth's first and most necessary problem will always be to live well its high schoollife. VVe do not doubt that Youth will continue to dream dreams, or that the challenge of its ambition will always ask guidance. Youth may be criticized for its sense of values but will, nevertheless, try to appreciate the adult point of view, for young people eagerly anticipate worthy manhood and womanhood. To vague prophecy, let us add our 'definite hopes. May school activities be closely related to the task of learning and may learning become a more prac- tical guide for activities. We hopetthat' school activities will represent more completely the interests of all the students. 'May the vocational interest of young people become a more useful center for the organization of their work. W' e hope that clubs and societies may offer. opportunities for making a living. May the few, who now care for learning for its own sake, grow to a larger number and may these develop more leadership and influence over school opin- ion. May these hopes of ours, have the respect of those whom we leave be- hind in the halls of Lafayette. These are our hopes. This is our heritage, this that our fathers bequeathed us, Ours in our time, but in trust for the ages to beg Wasting or husbanding, building, destroying, or shielding, Faithful or faithlessepossessors and stewards are we.
