And with each class comes the endeavor to edit a yearbook that surpasses all previous ones. As spring came, so came we, the green Oak staff, and through the seasons into winter we became gray to form our colors. Now weathered and well accustomed to the storms and trials of this endeavor, we place before you a pictorial view of Lafayette activity through the three school seasons-spring, fall, and winter. We point with pride to the fact that ours is the first Oak to include a complete spring section. It is our pleasure to present to you this annual in the hope that it may be a lively and lasting record of school life at Lafayette during 1937-38. Paige 'TWH 0 Every season of the year has its special types of curricular and extracurricular activities that have become as characteristic of that season as holly is of Christmas. Early spring ushered in the track meets as a close follow-up to the basketball season, and the senior class production became the temporary topic of conversation. Longer days and open windows gave even the most diligent students a touch of spring fever. The warmer weather brought forth lunch-hour strolls in the sunshine, sounds of the shouted R. O. T. C. commands in anticipation of the review, a muddy battle ground for FIELD DAY, plans for the prom, the hustle of juniors preparing for the banquet, and the spasmodic realization that exams were again at hand. All too soon vacation had come and gone. The new school year saw students wending their way toward school and the earnest beginning of new studies. Summer-interlude memories soon be- came hazy in the ascending smoke of picnic fires, and the faculty executed its annual initiation to welcome new teachers. Wiener roasts and hay rides on nights that had felt the first crispy touch of winter divided the attention of boys out for football practice. Then came the Fun Fest, the football days when we yelled Hold that line! and the more quiet season of Thanksgiving. Lafa ette the , Whole Year Through 1 I If ,nf WV ffiyrf r i if .

A. convention in Des Moines and groups of Girl Reserves attended the convention in Kansas City. Pulses beat faster those days before Christmas. Sports lovers waxed enthusiastic over the opening basketball games, Lafay- ette's emotions were stirred by The Holy Grail and the singing of caro-ls. Mixed with these feelings were thoughts of shopping and vacation. Christmas was in the air. The drudgery qfor so it seemedj of studies after the holidays was hard. Almost before we were settled came the necessity of cram- ming for exams. At last they were over and passing and flunking spasms had subsided. Then we tried to settle down to the routine of a new semester. This routine stuff, though, isn't so bad, for there is always something to stave off monotony. The Student Senate dance, the crowning of the basketball queen, the election of sponsor-major, the junior high's Growing Pains, and more basket- ball games seasoned a steady diet of math, English, and history. Spring, summer, fall, and winter-no matter what the season, we know that Lafayette is capable of satisfying our youthful desire for knowledge and adventure. ff' ' A 1 .As Fl X we . xg . Q ..W,-.

On the con- trary, the physical education review Cmiddle and lower picturej touches the life of practically every junior and senior high member. l'qip.u- Six 0 Last year Major Y. B. Vesley, field artillery officer of the field headquarters at Omaha, made an inspection at Lafayette covering company, platoon, and extended order drill. Each student from cadet private to cadet officer was questioned as to some phase of military study he had covered. Last year Lafayette fell short of an honor rating by a few points. 0 For the sixth time Lafayette's gym doors opened to admit a capacity crowd to the annual physical education review. This year's seniors, as seventh graders, performed in the first such review, which was presented under the direction of Mr. Charles Thomas, Miss Ruth England, and Sergeant Elias Treager, with the coopera- tion of Miss Muriel Lomax, supervisor of physical education. To give the parents a look at what their children were doing in school besides what their grade cards reported was the original idea of the program. It has become such a popular source of en- tertainment that the bleachers are packed. The small admission price goes to the buying of gymnasium equipment, not equipment for athletic teams, as some people have been led to believe. This undertaking, which includes more student participants than the annual Fun Fest, is the only extracurricular activity at Lafay- ette in which both junior and senior high have a part. The acts, which include tumbling, games, mock R. O. T. C. drill and actual drill, are presented by both schools. This sixth review' was an enlargement and improvement over pre- ceding ones. As usual, the girls' tumbling team provided the high spot of the evening in more ways than one when they formed their human pyramid. However, they didn't ho-ld the crowd's attention much more than did the R. 0. T. C. boys with their bad squad drill. A new feature was the ballroom dancing exhibition given by the senior high girls. This went over with parents and provided in- struction for those who had wondered when they heard fox trot and two step spoken of. The general atmosphere was one of hilarity, and while the mem- bers of the review cut their capers, the audience cut some of its own. To the complaint that he could not be heard, the master of ceremonies, Gene Whitsitt, said, The crowd was having too much fun to listen to me.

The programs and the toastmasters informed the gathering that the world is a small place today, as books are cheap and one can go adventuring in an easy chair any time. just as the students are bound together by school spirit, so is the world bound by literature. Three Flights Up may be the name of a book, but it served the purpose of a subject for William Woodyard's talk, in which he com- pared quite humorously the three periods of school life with stair- climbing. Miss Anna Hague, class sponsor, gave the formidable title, Seven Pillars of Wisdom , quite an interesting twist in her toast to the students. After a piano solo by Nadine Teaford, Lou Bina Stoner spoke on A Portrait of a Library. jokes are quite humorous in their place, and music is enjoyable, to say the least, but nothing proved quite so entertaining as when Sportsman Eddie Slaybaugh turned after-dinner speaker and warned his classmates against the various types of Beachcombers. Mr. Murphy, speaking on The Doctor, enlightened his proteges as to the reason he is called Doc . It seems that while coaching the Shamrocks in earlier days, circumstances often forced him to apply beefsteak to black eyes and liniment to mistreated muscles. Etta Kathryn McGauhey spoke on Mind Erosion and Corinne Hoecker on The Great Trek. It is to be noted that the speech subjects are all titles of books, thus developing the theme of Circling the Globe with Literature. Catherine Riesenmey, as toastmaster, fulfilled completely the re- sponsibilities of her position, as did Genevieve Aberle, chairman of the entire achievement. Musical interludes were furnished by a boys' quartet, a girls' double quartet and Lavinia Young, playing a marimba solo. If life were only a matter of silver slippers and lemon chiffon pie, all would be well and good, but there must come an end to all things, even banquets, and this one closed as the Crystal Room resounded to the refrain, Hail to Thee Our Dear Old Lafayette.

From the public speaking classes were chosen the repre- sentatives for the two contests. Four girls, Helen Becker, Etta Kathryn McGauhey, Betty jane Romig, and Sue Williams were the contestants in the declamatory contest held Friday, May 14. Though all gave heart-stirring readings, only one could be chosen. Sue Williams won the medal which was given by the Sesora Club. On the preceding day, the orators, Roy Hunt, LeRoy Strong, and Earl Riddle warmed up the platform with strenuous masterpieces. Through the explanation and illustration of varied subjects from the framing of the Constitution to the death of beloved Will Rogers , the silent audience sat motionless and attentive. By close decision also, LeRoy Strong was awarded the oratorical medal. This prize was given by the Orphe-Delphian Society. The job of judging was a very difficult and unasked for obligation. In this task the judges, Mr. W. H. Utz, jr., Mr. john Beaumont, and Mrs. Thomas 0'Meara, for the oratorical contest, did splendidly. For the following day, Miss Mary Stauber, Mrs. Marshall Neuman, and again Mr. John Beaumont gave their services to Lafayette. peaking l Their Bu iness ow MAY 13 and 14, 1937. Page Thirteen There' omething About a oldier MAY 13, 1937 O Every year 500 or more cadets take part in a program under the command of a cadet colonel. According to the records kept on file by the board of education, the first R.. O. T. C. field day, as it was then called, was held during the last part of the school year, 1926, in League Park. Since 1930 the exhibition has taken the form of a review at the city auditorium. The purpose is to show the public what military training does for the students of the city and to promote the whole-hearted support of the parents. Sergeant Elias Treager supervised Lafayette's company drill and bad squad exhibition. Benton's and Lafayette's drum and bugle corps and Central's band added color to the performance. Girls as well as boys took part in last year's review. Lafayette presented a tumbling act, Benton a slow motion baseball game, and Central a military tap dance. Another innovation was the selection of the cadet colonel by competitive examination. l':ip:t- I-'mlrl em 0 On that warm, sunny-whoa, a mistake-on that hot, summer- ish spring day, the entire school system gathered in a city-wide Parent-Teacher Association picnic at Lake Contrary. There was fun for everyone when all the concessions were opened to the students at a reduced price. Line form to the right, please, Lafay- ette girls. It seemed that one could ride forever and still not exhaust that meager supply of nickels and pennies. To get through the crowds one needed a snow plough. Bill Wineingar used his cheer leader's megaphone to induce guests to come to his show. Nadine Teaford made her second visit to the ticket window while Thelma Miller and Gen Aberle surveyed the scene for further excitement. There was not a dull moment in the whole day. Maybe the Lafayette group flower rightj was planning a wild rush to town to grab a bite and brush up before returning for more fun. The evening's entertainment provided for a swing to the music of True Davis and his band in the lake pavilion. It was 'to this soft music that the students and patrons of the school ended ickel Buy 'I'hrill At the Lake their day of perfect fun.

I Included in the record number out for track practice were five lettermen, Eddie Slaybaugh, jesse Hughes, Roy Miller, William Woodyard, and Louis Simpson. Early on the morning of April 9, after several weeks of vigorous training, the Shamrocks set out for Trenton. Though the team placed fifth, Eddie Slaybaugh had taken individual scoring honors with nine points. A week later Eddie led his team mates to second place in the Liberty meet with a score of 15 points. The next day he again stood out when he scored all of Lafayette's points for fifth place in the Chillicothe meet. April 23 at Maryville the team took third place. Here Slaybaugh led the scorers with 16M points. April 30 Lafayette lost a dual meet to William Chrisman High in spite of Slaybaugh's 24 points. Then on May 8 came the state meet at Columbia. St. joseph Central won and the Shamrocks placed eleventh. Louis Simpson and Eddie Slaybaugh scored all the points. Eddie placed on the all-state track team as a result. The final event of the year was the annual city track meet on May 15. Central, with quite a few veterans, won the meet, Benton was second, and Lafayette came in third. Several records were broken. Page Sixteen nge Seventeen I Straining Muscles should be the title of the study in energy on the opposite page. Dutch Thompson is the only Lafayette runner you can see at a glance, but if you look closely, you i-an see Bill Taft. This was the start of the mile run. O Louie Simpson, a Shamrock dash man. had to stretch his legs in the 100-yard dash to get a third place and two points for Lafayette. Q Coach Campbell was giving Roy Miller and Jesse Hughes the low-down on a certain race, but they didn't seem to mind, if Roy's grin means any- thing, Roy is the only returning letterman this year. Q The photographer at the Benton meet caught a picture of speeding Eddie Slaybaugh in his record-break- ing hurdle race. Eddie had just knocked over a hurdle, but that didn't stop him from setting a new 14,9 set-ond mark. I Again the photographer caught Eddie breaking a record, this time in the discus event. Eddie sailed the metal disk 120 feet. Q This time it was the 220, and Louie came through with a win to beat the city's fastest men. MAY 15, 1937 L' and Honor , Thank to Ilonor MAY 20, 1937. I With an air of drowsiness, the students roused to the call of the assembly bell on a warm spring morning last year. Now there are several cures for spring fever, and on this morning the teachers were springing one. It was Insignia Day, which meant the distri- bution of athletic letters, R. O. T. C. commissions, Quill and Scroll awards, and gold and silver L's. Coach Campbell was the first to break the spell by giving all the athletes a chance to show their faces and letters to the wakening audience. Girl athletes also were presented letters by Miss Willetta Todd, their sponsor. Mr. Charles Thomas concluded the athletic awards by giving the cheer leaders their letters. By now each student was wide awake, waiting to hear his name. Gold and silver L's were next. Those who were not in the R. O. T. C. relaxed as commissions were presented to the officers and the rifle team members received their awards. Captain Brisack pre- sented these and the sponsor-major's commission. Literary pub- licity was recognized as Quill and Scroll members were presented. The letters, pins, commissions, and athletic trophies duly given, the assembly ended. But what had happened to the spring fever? The warm, lazy feeling had disappeared, and in its place was an- other warm feeling-that of contentment and of hard-earned glory.

QFor your information, the rope didn't break.j I., 0 To the main event all spectators clamored for a front-row stand ay before the maddening rush of warriors on the pole on which perched the derby. 0 Pell mell into the fray excited junior and seniors scrambled to gain access to the pole, derby, and glory. Mud-soaked boys and rain-soaked spectators milled around the north end of the field. Finally when all hopes were at ebb-tide, the juniors got Roy Miller started up the pole. 0 Alas, for the seniors and hooray for the juniors! The thrill- ing climax came when Roy climbed the pole to grab the coveted prize of victory. MAY 21, 1937 Pzxut- 'Pwr-nly 0 Style had no place during the afternoon of the fourth annual Field Day. Students appeared at school apparelled in their oldest clothes. There was a short session of classes, then student spectators and participants gathered on the school's athletic field after lunch. Suddenly heavy clouds appeared and were eyed anxiously. Miss Weller and Miss Todd were so sure of the impending storm that they ran back the block to the school for their raincoats. Events were cut short and the crowd moved en masse to the north side of the field, where the derby of junior-senior contention squatted on a greased telephone post. The contest began shortly before the storm broke, and at 5 o'clock, after an hour and a half, the juniors won when Roy Miller topped the pole and waved the derby victoriously. The afternoon program ended, spectators waded across a muddy field to go home and change afternoon rags for evening formals. The gym was gaily decorated with streamers of crepe paper and bright-colored lights. The white picket fence built around the dance floor added much to the atmosphere of spring. Outside were in- dividual tables, each with a bouquet of iris and spirea. Light, airy gowns gave their splash of color as teachers and stu- dents enjoyed the swing music of Dale Kern's Orchestra. l':u.:'a- 'I'wvnlyeonv Rag For Afternoon Formal For ight llatlm Weather For llatzcalaureate MAY 23, 1937.

The 1937 graduates, all fun and gaiety throughout a full, successful year, suddenly became serious as they listened to Dr. George Mauze's sermon, Youth. Senior week continued with class night on Wednesday. On a stage suggestive of youth with its baskets of spring flowers and a sil- houette in cap and gown, seniors made their last appearance before a Lafayette audience. After a program, planned and presented by the class, Mr. Murphy awarded the cups. Thursday Lafayette's seniors were among 601 graduates who filled the city auditorium arena. Thus ended 128 high school careers. Page 'l'wt-nty-two :r E-Ek 'k ' Ha Ni. fxx, 3 Q 1 5 295 X Sb V+. B ...4--., l x ,,. I -rms, '-v- nkw, ,, Y Q ..

A for- mer football star and track captain at the University of Iowa, our superintendent continues to delight in sports. To Mr. Stutsman's credit are degrees from several schools, but he insists he is still being educated by high school students. l lg.- 'l'xxw-ul N - Imil' rg.,-fr ii? I Q- 'l'wvutv-livv f ,i.N. I MR. D. H. MURPHY is proving to be an ideal boss in managing the mechanism of Lafayette. Although he does not always have this genial grin, he is always chuckling in his heart at the tactics of some of the students. His watchful eye and paternal feeling keep every stu- dent under his alert observation. He feels that each one is his personal responsibility. There is quite a history attached to his record at Lafayette, for he ably served as coach and then vice-principal before he accepted the highest executive position of principal. 6lrb'Q.s-:wif 0 One of our shining examples of friendliness and generosity is our MR.. B. O. CORBIN, who has filled the position of vice-principal for two years. Besides serving as a good pal among the students, he is a very inspiring teacher of science and algebra. His treasured possession is that vest-pocket pet, his blue pencil, for he feels that the familiar BOC cannot mean the same in any other color. It is very seldom that his face is not lighted with a winning smile, but when it is not, the students can quickly sense that he is up to serious business. 0 MISS ANNA HAGUE is one of Lafayette's most valuable possessions. Her deep under- standing, untiring sympathy and helpful advice have contributed much to her ability in acting as adviser to girls. Her interests are versatile, for she is sponsor of senior high Girl Reserves, co- director of the junior high all-school play, and teacher of five classes a day. She, too, bears a pleasing smile for all, and her work in charity is renowned. . ,487 ,Qi-w-lrlJn-d v-J 9 'J I , , fl - 0 ' V L'-1, Arr'-f' ,451 is-41 -'VQ4 - .f ,. 3' ...t4,....1 1 ,-.J-L P'-if-7' s , , . , V, 1 ,-- f 4,.Map4,pV-4-f1f', Ls s7 K -.,,,' f X ur2 f3 i '-Aff s...VfV Q A grutltnitt- ot' l.iit'z1yettt-, Miss Norma Boyle tezfelles innior high ninsit- :intl lflnglish.

The Faculty lla Its Annual llet-together SEPTEMBER 21, 1937. I This is the more formal side of the faculty picnic at the Krug Park picnic grounds. After the serious business of eating, the group formally recognized the new members as they were intro- duced by Mr. Murphy. Miss Lois Weller and Mr. and Mrs. Doug- las Linville, though a part of Lafayette last year, had not arrived in time for the picnic. Sergeant and Mrs. J. B. Strong, Miss Olive Shirley, and Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Lamar were the other new ones. A lamp was presented as a wedding gift to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thomas. Mr. Thomas was promoted during the summer from teacher at Lafayette to vice-principal of Benton. Later in the evening the sound of the whacking of belts revealed the unbeliev- able-that the old teachers were sending the new ones down a pad- dle-machine.

After the loss of the first game, the team showed power in only one quarter of the next three games. The fifth game gave the Irish a 31-0 victory and from then until the terrific 50-0 beating at the hands of Benton the Shamrocks were undefeated. The score of the Benton game again shows that psychology was having its effect this season. The last game went as anyone could have predicted, even though Tarkio had a good team. The Irish returned from their one- game slump with a bang to finish the season on top. l'up.gn- 'l'l1irIyAtIn':-me gjffiifiv Fighting lri ll Fini h 011 Top Q Left to right, ton to bottom: Uliirenee Barnes, llonnie l-llondeztu, Utto Hodenhnusen, Marvin Cobb, Harold Ilulrzu-li, Charles I-Iellerich, Gene lrogsdon, SNillie Martin, Emer- son Matthews, Roy Miller, and Walter Patten.

The green and gray came on the field in the first game with veterans composing about half of the team. Dopesters had picked the Lafayette eleven as one to be watched. However, the Irish saw three scoreless losses before they won a game. With perfect football weather on their side the Shamrocks finally Page Thirty-four found themselves coming out in the end with five wins and four defeats. On a rampage at one time during the season they won three games straight before Benton, the surprise school, beat them. The last game of the season, just after the Benton defeat, was probably the best. Thoroughly keyed up, the team pushed Tarkio all over the field to end the season with a bang. l'up:v 'l'l1irly-five . lmfl to right, lop lu lmllum: Alvin l'i-ln-rsmu, Hula Rosle-rt-l', lflanrl Riddle, Imvill Rumi, Pm-l St-lun'--th-xr .lorry Smith, Hill 'l':1t'l, Gem- Whitsltl, Hlll'l't'lIm' Willie. :mel Hill Young Q Mr. Callmulwll :md Mr, IIVUBII :uw- thr- t-o:u'lu-s.

Perhaps the most novel act ever performed at Lafayette was the stunt by five boys caricaturing Lafayette's school marms. The audience was hysterical over their exaggerated truck- in' and Susy-Q-ing during which Bill Geiger's hose just wouldn't stay up and at the end of which jean King was nearly dressless.

The stained glass window of Camelot and settings for plays are projects added to their regular schedule. Two vital clubs, junior and senior high, met weekly for two hours to carry on special studies.

' 0 The Beta and Kappa chapters of the Hi-Y, shown in the above picture at a dads' night meeting, have as their purpose the giving of a little spiritual insight of life to young men. Their meetings emphasize the religious, while their dances and parties carry out the social side of a full life. The older chapter is the Beta, which for the last four years has been successfully sponsored by Mr. J. Lester Hooper. The younger group, the Kappas, have not been so lucky at keeping a sponsor. Three years ago, when the club was organized, Mr. W. P. Green was chosen as sponsor. The next year he resigned and Mr. john Loe took his place. This year Mr. Loe served again, but at the end of the second semester he moved to California. Mr. Douglas Lin- ville is his successor. Working helpfully with these men is Mr. Ray Baird, the boys' adviser at the Y. M. C. A.

The occasion was Mr. Murphy's second gigantic Thanksgiving dinner. Doc's ambitious specialty was so success- fully carried off that partakers would never guess the hours of forethought and toil that it meant for those behind the scenes. Per- haps if you were told that ticket-holders consumed twenty-four turkeys of about twenty pounds each-a total of 480 pounds-you could better visualize the task Mrs. Verne Creager and her helpers were put to. The dinner was a splendid array of turkey and all that goes with it. And, oh, what turkey! Six hundred and eighteen students had plates of it roasted to a turn and just smothered with gravy! Along with turkey, dressing, and gravy came the vegetables and some rolls and butter. But this didn't finish the feast, for each diner had his choice of pie cr ice cream for dessert. Several notable guests mingled with the crowd of students that Tuesday before Thanksgiving. l'uL1'v ! ul'ly-t'-will ' F' rx .cnw-w.........-a gmf ,fix A ga Mwww 0 ,LMK6 -f if 35 , A g , S 3 2 r i if L 8 1 , 14' 5 T ,M W,, ' Q .

The purpose was the improving of Lafayette and its surroundings. Mr. L. D. Blunt is presidentg Mr. G. H. Whitsitt, vice-president, and Mr. E. D. Schmidt, secretary and treasurer. The club has not been dormant for one minute since it was formed. By the second meeting standing committees for program, publicity, ath- letics, grounds, and tennis courts were ready to propose several projects. Results of their efficiency are apparent in the progress made in improving the grounds, in laying sidewalks, in grading Fourth and Fifth Streets, in fencing and lighting the athletic field, and in planning nearby tennis courts. The men did not stop work- ing when the first few projects were started, they thought about others. Even as this book goes to press, new ones are being started. The club combined business with pleasure at their meetings, and Mr. john Riesenmey, chairman of the program committee, proved a competent entertainment provider. Several of the meetings were preceded by dinners. Members of the school board were guests at the dinners, and at one Mr. Tracy E. Dale talked to the Boosters. The new organization has quickly become one of Lafayette's most important groups. The initial membership has increased almost by half. A continued rapid growth is expected, for there is no limit to the strides an active and well publicized club can make. Pago F'm'ly- x 0 New Fires , by Charles Quimby Burdette, was the right name for the junior class play, not only as a title but as a description. The setting, an old fashioned living room, made the audience feel very comfortable, but when the old spinster in charge, Betty Bran- ham, made her appearance, action started. She and her companion, Ava Lee Meidinger, had quite some difficulty adjusting themselves to the selfish, high-toned, and stubborn family of Stephen Santry, portrayed by Harry Kunels. His children, who were really baf- fling problems, were made even more baffling by their affectionate mother, Madaline Maple. Billy and Phyllis, or rather Albert Lee Guthrie and Virginia Sunderland, added much gaiety and liveliness to the plot while they continually heckled the two old spinsters with their mischievous pranks. Stephen, as the kind father he was, had much to be concerned about when his older daughter, Anne Savage, rebelled against his wishes to live in this antiquated Mis- souri home, though she was soon conquered when Bob Hague, with all his professional handsomeness, called as the neighborhood phy- sician to give her treatment for the flu. As for romance, the newly- weds, Wheeler Schmidt and Mildred Purchase, supplied it suf- ficiently. To add more to the comedy of the evening, jean King, the backwoods boy, and his parents, Calvin McDonald and Alberta McKeown, were enlivening assets during the Santry family trials and troubles. Ruth Burnett and Mary Ann Ginter as mother and daughter contributed much to make Mr. and Mrs. Santry's wed- ding anniversary a success. Jeanne Baldwin's vocal selections were appreciated highlights of the entertainment. l'ag'e Forty- seven gg ' 99 ew Fire Brightly Lighted By Junior DECEMBER 4, 1937.

DECEMBER 17, 1937. 0 White-robed singers, knights of King Arthur, and angels in shining raiment annually herald the fact that Christmas has come to Lafayette. just preceding the two weeks' vacation period, the combined junior and senior high schools give the traditional Holy Grail , which always delights. This sober yet colorful pageant has been given for students and the public each year since King Arthur and his court were first introduced to Lafayette in 1930. The vision of the Holy Mother and Child, the quest for the perfect gift for Christ, the vigil of Galahad before the altar, and the final appearance of the grail itself are all scenes that cause the Christ- mas spirit to reawaken in the hearts of all who witness it. l':ip:i- l 0i'lyf1-iglit Ralph Stanley was the latest version of King Arthur, and Billy johns, that noblest knight of them all, Lancelot. Florence Schleper and Betty Noble were the angels from the realms of glory and Irene Anderson, the damsel of purity. The beautiful carols sung by the boys' and girls' glee clubs rekindled the love of the highest that accompanies the wonderful story of Christ. But regardless of all the characters and carols, it would have remained a meaningless spectacle to us had it not been for our competent readers, namely, Etta Kathryn McGauhey, Catherine Riesenmey, and jean Dale Davis. However, the pageant was only one of the contributing factors to the juvenile exuberance. A beautiful decorated tree laden with letters for football boys, carol singing in the halls and in an un- precedented assembly of the two schools and the gleeful anticipa- tion of the coming vacation all added to the atmosphere. Thus it was only natural that a universal Yuletide spirit of Peace on earth, good will toward men prevailed. ttHoly Grail Pre entail Each Year Since 1930 Q In :ulrlilion lo the- le-:uls 1lll'0IlKly llillllvll. the following students haul parts in the p:1p.t1-null: .lohn llranke. us Moflrn-di Ramp' Millvr. :ls .loss-1111: 3l1lXlll1' Marple :ls XIHVXI Il nmlil Svlllllilll. :is the lHl1.Z'l'1 Huy Snow :xml I.t-land lbulrzu-li. ns sln-plus-rmlsg John XYilS0n, Jzlvk VVuomls, and la-onairel Sumler, ns wise- me-11: l'm-ggy lie-zulpn-ul't, I-Ilnim' Mm-lbunnlfl. :md Anne S:1v:lg:'v :is ilnmsvlsi :mtl l'le0 Smith, Lewis lllvflonnlrl, Ii' I 0 y al lin-1-1-Il. :und John Stnckhouse, as kluigrlmts.

Last spring this new body of student representatives was organized, a constitu- tion framed, and Bill Bass elected to serve as president for 1937- 38. The Senate's first accomplishment was Field Day. This year's activities began when the Senate elected the following officers: Floyd Everett, vice-president, Florence Schleper, secre- tary 5 and Earl Riddle, treasurer. The group sponsored this year's pay assemblies, selling season tickets. The next adventure was the afternoon dance pictured on the opposite page. Q The first activity of the second semester was a St. Patrick's party for senior high. The Senate decided that since the school's colors are green and gray, its emblem is the Shamrock, and its sportsmen are always called Irishmen, nobody had more right to celebrate St. Patrick's Day than Lafayette. Games, the Virginia reel, and: refreshments supplemented the regular dancing program. The assembly committee, composed of Leroy Nedrow, Wheeler Schmidt, Catherine Judson, Genevieve Aberle, and Wayne Acord, was the only standing committee for the first semester. The second semester several committees were active. Sue Williams, assembly committee chairman, assisted by Earl Riddle and Jeanne Baldwin, with Mrs. Howard as sponsor, planned the assemblies. Floyd Everett and his building and grounds committee, Beth Mc- Mulin, Audrey Stafford, Alberta McKeown, and Kingsley Patter- son, planned and executed an Arbor Day celebration. The handling of lost and found articles was removed from the office to room 25, where a committee composed of Florence Schleper, chairman, Jean King, Elaine McDonald, Helen Stockton, and Bob Hague, arranged for courtesy service students to tend it. Catherine Judson, Nadine Teaford, Wheeler Schmidt, Jean Dale Davis, and Gene Whitsitt, chairman, kept the social wheels turning. Elected to serve as seco-nd semester officers were Gene Whitsitt, vice-president, Jean King, secretary, Wheeler Schmidt, treasurer, and Floyd Everett, reporter. l'ug't- Fifty two 9 . 2 : gag 'J ,. 5 3 f Q H 4' - 1 1 x I vp 4 K ,LN B ij A .

Allah, Allah! salaams the Colleen chorus, as the first five make their appearance. You may be prone to call it a leap in the dark, but we prefer to tag it a step of faith. We refer, of course, to the organization of the new pep squad and band. Realizing the need for a means' of expressing school spirit, the students formed these organizations, and the success of our basketball boys is no doubt due in part to their untiring songs and cheers. The brilliant green skirts, cool grey sweaters, and green kerchiefs add to the attractiveness of the Irish girls, while green and grey flannel capes adorn the music makers. Speaking of costumes, cheer leaders june Logsdon and Helen Mathews steal the show with their grey culottes, green sweaters, and grey kerchiefs. These leaders, under the sponsorship of Miss Lois Weller and Miss Norma Boyle, aided by the enthusiastic Colleens, led in the cheers which helped our team so successfully. Both groups contributed to the pageantry of the coronation. 1':ngt- Fifty-- 4:54 yo! It-wnmf1J1C'rfff'11.o-QJ ff-cgtrafcfl-if-fvfclLZ WM f444,f .1402 .

Thus opened, the season was to close with eleven victories and ten losses and with our cagers' just miss- ing the city title. The first game after Christmas was a 20-19 win over Central. The Irish somewhat evened their wins and losses when King City, Maryville, and Benton beat them with 20-15, 22-14, and 23-11 scores respectively, and C. B. H. S. was beaten by them 16-14. Return games with Tarkio and Central brought the green and grey two wins. The scores were 27-16 and 21-17. Then Trenton beat the Irish 23-22, and King City beat them 26-13. On successive nights the Shamrocks rose above the Golden Eagles of C. B. H. S. and the Spoofhounds of Maryville. The close 19-16 and 22-21 scores tell that the games were not easy. The most thrilling game of the year came February 25, when the Benton Cardinals defeated the Shamrocks in a hectic overtime period. This city championship game was tied up in the last ten seconds of play when Charles Hellerich, Shamrock guard, sank a long shot. The overtime period ended with the score 22-20. l':u.:'v lf'il'ly-seven Mfr ,Qui Cagers Wing.

This year the contest was even- more thrilling because it was conducted so differently. Three girls were nominated by the R. O. T. C. and a vote of the school was taken. The results were kept absolutely secret, and the suspense lasted until the club's dance in the school gymnasium. The three girls arrived together that evening and showed extreme excitement along with the other guests. Then came the decisive moment-the intermission. Each girl, accompanied by a military escort, marched in procession as follows: Bob Lott, Sue Williams and Richard Cal- lahang Florence Schleper and Charles johnsong Etta Kathryn Mc- Gauhey and Dale Richmond. When they reached the center of the floor, Bob Lott announced the victorious girl was Sue Williams. Even more surprised than the onlookers, she gracefully received her cape and overseas cap and gold bracelet. In acceptance she made one of the most impressive impromptu speeches ever heard at Lafayette, praising her two pals and competitiors and thanking her fellow students for bestowing this honor upon her. Sweet Sue was dedicated to her by Dale Kern and his orchestra.

The change to an older type play was justified and well accepted with Rosemary Riesenmey in the role of Terry McIntyre, a charming, but spoiled miss of fourteen, and Edward McCabe as George McIntyre, her brother of sixteen, who has just grown up into the girl-struck stage. These two problem children gave each person in the audience a new slant on the all-important teen age. Yet jerry Augustine and Virginia Parker, as the parents, couldn't get used to the fact that modern youth was changing and that their two children were no longer quiet, obedient children. The first act shows Terry as a tomboy, who likes to play baseball and play any game in which she can romp and jump with the boys -especially Brian, Raymond McTeer. Possibly the saddest point is Terry's being invited, in a kindly but firm manner, to leave the old gang of boys. Helen Skeen and Charles Mueller were involved in a high school romance. The action progressed, it seemed, when Prudence Darling, Norma jean Welch, arrived in town. A simple glance or turn of her head sent all the boys' hearts reeling. Aretta Olmstead brought many laughs in her characterization of a girl with an intelligence quotient of 120 entirely uniformed as to social conduct. l'ug'e If'it'ty-nine A Junior High Interpret Modern Youth . ln the IIIPOYI' pit-ture. rezuliru: left to right: brick row.

The eligibles ranked in the upper third of the class scholastically. With this. year's additions the Lafayette chapter has 176 members. The initiation service, as in past years, was impressive. The new members were assembled on the stage of the auditorium, the girls dressed in white and the boys in neat dark suits. Jack Walter, class of '37, opened the ceremony with the history of the National Honor Society. The by-laws of the society were read by Betty Anne Hague, class of '37. Carole Brown, another alumna, gave an explanation of the emblem. Betty Mayer, Corinne Hoecker, Helen Becker, and Mrs. Henry Reinert, alumnae of Lafayette, lighted the four candles from the burning torch in the center of the stage-gold for scholarship, red for service, purple for leadership, and white for character. The candles represented the cardinal principles of the organization. The initiates then lighted their individual candles from the torch and took the pledge for membership. They were given badges consisting of a red, a gold, a white, and a purple ribbon, which they were to wear for a week. i K ,f lftpufvf 41479-1 A ' -M 595 1 4 -far 1 UW. t ' ' Miss Mary Lee Coffman, assisted by Miss Lois Weller, sponsors W f ' V ' ' 'rf ' Jiflx, the society.

With the guidance of Miss Ina Wachtel, sponsor, Class Presi- dent Ralph Stanley planned and conducted an interesting program for the largest group that had ever entered Lafayette Senior High. On March 31, 1936, Ralph Stanley, Florence Schleper, Catherine Marteny, Ray Snow, Irene Anderson, Dorothy Dubach, and T. D. Murphy appeared in the assembly playlet, A Silver Lining. Thus was opened sophomore day, the finale of which was a box-supper dance in the gymnasium. The addition at the beginning of the junior year of two class spon- sors, Miss Rose Wirth and Mr. Douglas Linville, started the sen- sible precedent of co-sponsorship for Lafayette classes. Bill Bass was junior president. The earliest undertaking of the year was th December production, The Nut Farm , in which Earl Riddle, Sue Williams, Yvonne Vey, Bill Bass, Leroy Nedrow, and others turned in good performances. The most colorful function was the banquet' given for the seniors. The class played a splendid part in the new Senate's activities and in the promotion of Field Day. Activities of the senior year long to be remembered are the edit- ing and sponsoring of this book, National Honor Society initiation on March 17, a prom for the juniors on April 1, the presentation on April 8 of the romantic comedy, Garden of the Moon , and senior week culminating with class night. The senior ranks have supplied twelve presidents for school organ- izations: Bill Bass, Student Senate, Ralph Stanley, senior class, Catherine Riesenmey and Gen Aberle, Sesora, Floyd Everett and Earl Riddle, Orphe-Delphian, Beth McMulin, Girl Reserves, R.uby Smith, G. A. A., Mary Lee White, Art Club, Bob Lott and Charles johnson, Clip and Cartridge, Gene Whitsitt, Beta Hi-Y, and Na- dine Teaford, Colleens.
