JIJSEPH, MISSIIUHI MONSIEUR LE MARQUIS DE LAFAYETTE: We hope you will not think we are presumptuous if we introduce ourselves to you. We, the Seniors of Lafayette High School, wish to pay you tribute in the dedication of our 1941 yearbook. We honor a great leader and a worthy Frenchman who loved America as dearly as his own land. In your life were represented the spirit of youth, the love of freedom, the faith in democracy, and the alertness and courage, which combined with a high intellect, form the modern basis for Americanism. We believe in Lafayette High School as fervently as we believe that the spirits of great men never die. As long as the ideals and spirits of a great man survive, he lives. We feel that your ideals are part of our institution and we glory in our name and the ancient crest of nobility which graces our banner. We know of your love for the tricolor-the traditional red, white, and blue-and have colored our message with pa- triotism. We ask you to turn from your native grief-strick- en France, and to view in America our part in a vast pano- rama of hope. In the tale of Lafayette High School, written by many students, you will view the individual personalities. Through their freedom of expression, you will learn of our school with its ideals and activities, and you will gain intimate knowledge of a living democracy. It is our desire that the spirit of this school and its fair- minded principal, Mr. D. H. Murphy, occupy a place in your heart. Changes are inevitable, but Lafayette memories a1'e among our most precious possessions, and we wish to share them with you. It is our prayer that we never may lose them in this turbulent world. Most respectfully yours, SENIORS OF THE CLASS OF 1941. Iqfqqette lf Cceed I believe in the Lafayette High School. I believe Lafayette to be clean Wholesome and manly in athletics. I believe Lafayette cultivates the aesthetic side of nature and stands for the science of the beautiful in art, music, and literature. I believe Lafayette stands for high scholarship-the attainment of cul- ture in history, language, mathematics, and science. I believe Lafayette trains the hand, developing adaptability, accuracy, and efficiency in manual and domestic arts. I believe Lafayette stands for democracy in social life. I believe Lafayette is sound in standards of honor, embodying truth and nobility in thought and action. KE' 524 Gly Gllfl ........ Have you seen our library '? seems to be a favorite question because we Lafayette students are proud to show our beautiful new library to visitors. It is a combination of modern convenience, perfection of lighting, and unexcelled architecture. We have many excellent reference books and a good selection of fic- tion and non-fiction. There are at least 3,700 books in the large study room and many magazines in the separate reading room. One can never find a more pleasant place to study, nor will he get more enjoyment than from browsing among the books. The ideal librarian of Lafayette High School, Miss Hoxanna Robb, is always ready to offer friendly assistance to the students. Patient and charming, she works diligently to discover strange facts which a1'e needed in various courses of study. The neat library, the studious atmosphere, and the tranquil setting make it a favorite spot. Student librarians under Miss Robb's competent direction learn the mysteries of filing, binding, and keeping the library in order. Many students seek her advice as to the books ol' fiction to read for the utmost pleasure, since she is well versed in book lore. Virgo 4 blur Kms., PIG C61 The main office pictured above is the Main Street of the royal busi- ness community of Lafayette High School. Many students at Lafayette have had the privilege of using the filing system and the adding machine, and who has failed to use the telephone for that all-important business call? Below is Mr. Douglas Linville's Worried bookkeeping class, but with his capable teaching, no student could fail to have a satisfactory trial bal- ance, and how good that ledger looks when the final line is drawn. fl0l'l Page 5 KG ea ommanclanfa . . . Classmates will remember Margaret Ann Chiaborel long after she has been graduated from Lafayette because of her sweet personality and admirable character. She is a member of the National Honor Society which proves that she is an excellent scholar as well as a popular leader. Her splendid work on the Light staff Won for her the responsible po- sition of Editor-in-Chief of this annual, The 1941 Oak. Her ability as a leader was proved when she was chosen as a member of the Girl Re- serve Interclub Council and of the student senate. Because she is a diligent worker and a very lovely person, lllargaret Ann has been invited into many clubs and organizations and chosen to act on numerous com- mittees. Lafayette can indeed be proud of Maragaret Ann Chiaborel. Popular Bob Geiger has the official bars on his sleeve of President of the Senior Class of 1941, and it may be said that he is a very success- ful executive. Bob's versatility is proved by his talents which he has demonstrated in the Orphe-Delphian Society, the Hi-Y, the Student Sen- ate, and the National Honor Society. In the world of athletics, he has been one of the most brilliant stars, shining brightly in football, basket- ball, and track. He well might be envied for his friendly smile, his pleas- ing personality, his complete mastery of relaxation, and his leadership. He is prominent in all activities and is to be complimented on his many achievements. Bob is one of those fortunate persons who do everything well, as his sincerity, intelligence, and serious side are counter-balanced by a fun-loving and modest nature. Jerry Augustine's official title is President of the Student Senate and never has this office been more competently filled. His outstanding char- acteristics of efficiency and leadership have won the respect and friend- ship of the faculty and the entire student body. Under his direction, the legislative body has been functioning smoothly and the activity ticket has become a reality. It is not surprising that this friendly senior is active in the Hi-Y, Orphe-Delphian Society, and National Honor Society, and has held high offices in these organizations. It might be said that Jerry has a prominent part in all school activities as he is a veteran trooper of the Fun Fest and an experienced actor, having taken part in many school plays. Sometimes I Wonder, is one of his favorite expres- sions, and sometimes we Wonder how Jerry ever satisfactorily executes all his varied responsibilities. BUAHIJ UF STR TEEY The head of the Educational Corps is Mr. Tracy Dale, who is superin- tendent of St. Joseph schools. He has been connected with our schools since 1925. Ile served as a teacher at Benton, was promoted to the office of principal of Webster, the vice-principal of Benton, and then served as business manager of the district, during which time he became a welcome visitor at Lafayette, and the members of the faculty and the students felt they had gained a valuable ally. Many are acquainted with this genial man who is sincerely interested in his students and teache1's. His friendly personality helps to equip him for that most high title of commander-in- chief of all educational forces of the St. Joseph district. From lett to right in approved miiitaristic style are the members of the Board ot' Strategy, commonly called the Board ol' Education: Mr Dale Dr. l-l. VV. Carle Mr F I' Garvey, Mr David Hopkir s 'NI , . ic, i' r. G. D. Berry, Mrs. C'lit't'o1'd B. Adams, Mr. George Black- well, business manager, and Mrs. True Davis. president, All members of the school board are intensely interested in the educational facilities ot' this city. and they agree with Alexander Pope that, Just as the twig is bent the tree is inclined. They be- lieve that an efficient educational torce will promot A is the fo lt ' ' e meiitanism, because knowledge unt ation ot democracy. The General and His Staff Hail to the Chief! The general of Lafayette's edu- cational force is Mr. D. H. Murphy. Never was there a more kindly, philosophical or beloved leader. He has forged and presented ideals to us which We will battle for through the years. As long as we possess memories, we will connect Lafayette with its smiling Principal. What could we have done without Mr. Murphy's firm guidance through high school and his advice about our schedules? His character forms the cornerstone of our school life. And as Lafayette High School occupies a vital interest in Mr. Murphy's life, so Mr. Murphy occupies a place in the heart of every student at Lafayette. Mr. B. O. Corbin, Vice-Principal, is a Well-known leader at Lafayette. Junior High School is under this genial gen- tleman's command. He is an efficient master of discipline Who has won a place for himself as a friend of the stu- dents-one who is always willing to render kindly advice as we students st1'ive to reach the perfect spirit of Amer- icanism. Miss Anna Hague is the sympathetic adviser of girls. She is admired by the students because of her charming personality and her kind guidance. As sponsor of Girl Reserves, she helps them Weave a banner of patriotism by helping them to acquire the necessary invisible threads- Christianity, character, faith, and loyalty-which she flies on her own standard of ideals. MR. D. H. MURPHY Principal MR. B. O. CORBIN Vice-Principal MISS ANNA HAGUE Advisor Pax: onfiieur, me .clzlcuhg To loyal sons and daughters of Lafayette, knowledge is power to achieve that which is great and worthwhile, an inner store of achievement attained through the undying efforts of our royal masters, the faculty. Everyone of these patriotic torch bearers possesses a personality unique and valuable. When blended together, they form a pattern that shows the way to a life of knowledge, character, temperament, and all of life's other valuable assets. You have been told about them as an army, now meet them as in- dividuals. Mr. Clifford Cummings is a man of high distinction within the halls of the green and gray because of his work with the athletic department as well as his classroom ability, Mr. B. O. Corbin, whose rec- ord as our vice-principal speaks for itself, Mr. Z. F. Pfost, a rookie in this year's faculty, whose worth is destined to shine brightly as the years march by, Mr. W. D. Bracken, a true veteran and as loyal as they come, Mr. E. A. Tucker, a lovable personality and a real soldier, Mr. W. L. Butts, whose willingness to serve Lafayette makes him a true favorite, Miss Ethel Graves, a person who works without discord on any and all projects, Miss Logan Gilbreath, whose music sends us all into a higher realm than realism, Miss Lois Weller, a personality whose ability as a math teacher is matched only by her interest in the Shamrocks' out- side activities, Miss Elizabeth Thomas, another member rounding out her first successful year as a Lafayette faculty member, Sergeant Joy B. Strong, the military genius of our respected group of leaders. Miss Willetta Todd, a teacher of sportsmanship by example as well as precept, Miss Georgee Hash, whose success in the journalism depart- ment has won for her much respect and admiration in only two short years, Mr. Harold Dilley, whose zest and ambition form a real foundation for school spirit in its finest form, Mr. Douglas Linville, as active a per- son as ever carried our banner and a man whose fine character and ability is destined to carry him far, Mr. Blaine Criss, the third first year on our faculty and a fine worker with the students of junior high school, Mr. B. O. Willhite, who teaches manual skill with sound reason- ing, Miss Jane Adams, whose interest in junior high girls and in other school activities is profound and continuous, Miss Roxanna Robb, as li- barian, leads us to many sources of knowledge, Mr. Donald Bunker, active, forceful, intelligent, and of general value to groups and individuals alike, Mr. Lynn McHarg, whose pleasant smile and ability in training boys will be greatly missed when he answers the call of Uncle Sam's bugle next year instead of the school bell, Miss Aline Brown, an excellent example of friendliness at all times, Mr. Bill Slayton, the man responsible for the boys better known as the Fighting Irish, but a gentleman of no mean ability in the classroom. Those not in the picture, but nevertheless equally valuable to our school life are: Miss Ina C. Wachtel, Miss Rose Wirth, Miss Faye Slater, Miss Winifred Gallagher, Miss Emma Lee Ficklin, Miss Martha Hock- aday, Miss Loula Golden, Miss Christine Medley, Miss Anna Hague, Miss Ina Culver, Mr. W. P. Green, and Mr. W. L. Winders. fit the Frnnl fm' Lafa elle The Lafayette Boosters' Club deserves much credit for its worthy accomplishments in securing many advantages for the school. The mem- bers are men of the surrounding community who are interested in work- ing' for the benefit of Lafayette High School and its students. The presi- dent elected this year was ambitious Mr. Earl Tetherow. The club gives a dinner once a month where business is transacted, and the members are entertained by guest speakers and student programs. The Lafayette P.-T. A. works to promote a closer relationship be- tween parents and teachers of the school. It always can be depended upon to help the school in whatever project is undertaken. Mrs. Floyd Farr has made an industrious p1'esident this year, and there has been a large increase in the new membership of enthusiastic worke1's. The P.- T. Afs main social event of the year was Back to School Night, held to acquaint the parents with their children's teachers and courses. Money making' projects were sponsored and the organization gave liberal finan- cial support to school activities. Le liahinel A country is only as successful as its governing body. Likewise, a student body cannot exist in successful harmony without a democratic form of student participation in government. It always has been the desire of our Student Council to be of service to the school. Never in any way has the Lafayette governing body at- tempted to dictate the affairs of this student body. Among its many accomplishments we find listed the activity ticket, the information desk, student body dances, noon movies and dances, and many other projects. Mr. Douglas Linville is sponsor of the executive group which in- cludes eight representatives from the senior class, six from the junior, and four from the sophomore class. Also, one representative is elected from each third period room in senior high school. All members, with the exception of the president, are chosen for a one-semester term. Jerry Augustine was elected head of this year's senate and served in a most capable manner. Other officers the first semester included Robert Rus- sell, vice-presidentg Peggy Plummer, secretary, Carol Jean Kost, treas- urerg Robert Hennessey, reporter, and Elmer Myers, sergeant-at-arms. Officers for the second semester were as follows: Vice-President, Dale Whitsitt, secretary, Helen Skeeng treasurer, Elmer Myersg reporter, Mary Janet Mullenioux, and sergeant-at-arms, Paul Baker.

Page 13 Wed, J? and el'l'l0l g A melody that will linger with us forever is the memory of the Junior- Senior banquet of April 29, 1941. Maurice Brownlee as Lafayette's tal- ented Junior maestro directed the musical moods. Soft preludes and sonatas, rippling rhapsodies, lively polkas, modern jive, and dreamy har- monies wafted us through our symphonic school life until the strains of Auld Lang Syne and the school song brought us back to the Crystal Room of the Hotel Robidoux. It seemed to the juniors that we sang gay notes because they were thinking of next year, but to the seniors, the school song was a haunting refrain reminding us that all good symphonies, even of school life, must have a grand finale. However, always and al- ways there will be beautiful melodies lingering in our hearts.

The King and Queen ot' llearts in senior and junior high school were elected in a, most, democratic nianner on I-'ebruary l-l, ltltll, in a, popularity contest sponsored by The Oak staff. The reigning Senior mon- archs are Ilelen Skeen and Robert Russell while in junior high, Francis Lee Silvers and .Iinnnie Waller wear the crowns ot popu- larity. The election was pleasing to the student body as all tour inentbers of the royal l'2llIl- ily have niade n1any friends during their years at Lafayette. Helen Skeen truly has tnerited her title because all ot' the students admire her friendly personality and the abile ity which has brought, her niany personal honors. She was elected president, ot' Girl Reserves, secretary ot' the Senior class. sec- retary ot' Student Senate, a 1I19lIlbP1' ot' the National Honor Society, and twice has served as the charming niaid-ot'-honor to the Basketball Queen. The king, Robert Russell, has many hon- ors accredited to his friendly personality and his versatile talents in niany fields. He has taken part in many extra-curriculuin activities displaying his excellent ability as an actor and his fluency as a public speaker. l-le is vice-president. ot' the Student Senate. was president ot' the tJrphe-lieiphians. and has held many other executive positions.

On the left we find vivacious Dorothy Jean Silvers, who was elected the Football Queen of the 1940 season. This popular Miss was chosen because of her personality, her fine school spirit shown by her active participation in the Pep Squad and other clubs, and her apt ability in salesmanship. Our football boys, the Sham- rocks, are fortunate to have such an inspiration as Miss Shamrock in their part of the sports world. On the right, in contrast to the informal football season, we have charming Betty Jayne Jacobs, who reigned as Queen of Basketball during Lafayette's 1940-1941 season. For two years, Betty Jayne wore the crown of the most popular girl in junior high, so she is an experienced and grace- ful ascendant to the throne. She is well known for her special talent of graceful dancing and has taken part in almost every production given at Lafayette since her arrival. Such a gifted queen in formal dress could be mistaken for one of the royal family. vw, Schelarship, Leadership, Character and Service Page 34 THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society is a name which falls sweetly upon the ears of every person entering senior high school. Upon witnessing the impressive initiation ceremony his first year in high school, what student does not set for himself, secretly or openly, the goal toward which he will work during his high school career? Membership in the National Honor Society is the highest achieve- ment a senior can gain. This year sixteen seniors were chosen for mem- bership. They met the next week and elected their officers as follows: Rose Mary Riesenmey, president, Jerry Augustine, secretaryg and Robert Hill, treasurer. Miss Lois Weller is sponsor. Lafayette's chapter, organ- ized in 1925, now numbers 236. Members of the organization must meet four requirements: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. The ceremony for the initiation is one of the most impressive assem- blies of the year. The girls dressed in white, and the boys in dark suits, are given green candles symbolizing the Lafayette chapter. These they ignite from the torch of the huge emblem in the center of the stage, after having heard explanations of each phase of the organization by alumni. The newly-elected candidates then take the pledge of membership and are permitted to wear for a week the badge of the society, which consists of gold for scholarship, red for service, purple for leadership, and white for character. The certificates were presented to the students by Miss Ina Wachtel, a senior high school teacher. The 1941 members are: Front row, left to right: Betty Jo Thompson, Betty Jean Johnson, Sophia Muff, Helen Skeen, Rose Mary Rieseniney. Virginia Street, Margaret Ann Chiaborel, and Faith Risler.

Page 40 As William Shakespeare said, The play's the thing. We might even go so far as to say that old master of dramatic art had the school year of 1940-1941 at Lafayette High School in mind when he penned those im- mortal words. But Whatever Shakespeare may have been thinking, this was a banner year for those talented individuals who craved fame on the Lafayette stage. Seven Little Rebels, the Junior High play produced by Miss Martha Hockaday, Miss Jane Adams, Miss Emma Lee Ficklin, Miss Ina Culver, and Miss Loula Golden, was a modern comedy in which seven orphan children show their love for Miss Baker CRexine Fryej and Neighborhood House. While Miss Baker is recovering from an illness, Miss Thelma QAda Marie Richardsl is put in charge of the settlement house. Miss Proudfoot CAnn Watsonj, a rich member of the board, tries to close the settle- ment. When the contest judge visits Neighborhood House, it is in disorder and the children are having a circus. The contest seems to be lost, but Dr. Tony Uimmie McKillipb comforts the children, and Miss Thelma promises to help them establish order. Jean Marie Steinman as the negro girl supplies comedy through these trying times. Miss Baker returns just in time to hear the judge announce that the money for the contest goes to Neighborhood House. Don't Take My Penny, directed by Miss Lois Vveller, Miss Aline Brown, and Mr. Harold Dilley, was a comedy given by the junior class on December 6, 1940. Penny fWanda Bridgesl, a teen-age girl, is preparing herself to be chosen for a movie role. Completely unaware that her mother's maid, Sally CFaye Elaine Fosterl, was a child star and covets this movie role. Penny, aided by her loyal friend Joanna CSara Frances Woodyardb, devotes all her time to the drama. Kerry fCharles Canadayj and Greg CMarvin Jacobsb plot against the girls, and the talent scout CWilliam Gossettj adds further complications. The end is a surprise because Mavis CDorothy Woodruffl, Penny's attractive sister, is chosen for the part. The senior class play, America First, produced under the sponsorship of Miss Rose Wirth, Miss Ina Wachtel, and Miss Anna Hague, was presented April 25, 1941. The patriotic theme was timely, having to do with a high school boy, Lee Holmes fRobert Russellj, who becomes entangled in un-American activities led by some natural- ized citizens Gerry Augustine and June Waughj. Lee's mother fRose Mary Riesen- meyh, discovers his plight and with the help of her brother, a G-man CFranklyn Dowdl, assisted by a young flying cadet CDale Whitsittl, Dorothy Holmes QNorma Jean Welchl, and Lee's young friend CCharles Muellerb, reveals the true character of the situation and brings about the capture of the leaders. The romantic touch is supplied by Lee's childhood sweetheart CFrances Dinwiddiel. The laughs produced by the grandfather fMiless Churchj in avoiding taking medicine forced upon him by the housekeeper CZeIma Meansj, added spice to the play.

Athletic affairs come and go, plays are presented and forgotten, campaigns are launched and often won, but the Holy Grail is the one enduring activity of Lafayette. Likewise its memory will live in the hearts and minds of every student or patron who ever walked through the door of our auditorium the night of its presentation. For who could forget King Arthur's dream and his great desire, who could cast aside the beauty of the angels, Joseph and Mary, and the Christ Child as He lay in the manger, who could forget the tear in his eye, and that feeling of genuine joy as Galahad, with head held high, eyes straight forward, and deter- mined steps, followed the light of the Holy Grail into the realm of para- dise? This year, for the eleventh time, the portrayals, music, and all that make up this beautiful spectacle were superb. The talented reading of Rose Mary Riesenmey, Maurice Brownlee, and Mary Lou Pinger touched the drama with inspiration. Robert Russell, as King Arthur, gave an ex- cellent performance. Jerry Augustine, for the second consecutive year proved to be a very convincing Sir Lancelot. Marion Jones, as Galahad, and Jimmie Waller, as the page, were other characters worthy of special recognition. The knights represented by Vernon Elliot, Harry Lund, James Mellor, Danny Kearns, and Charles Canaday portrayed with sin- cerity the knightly roles they were enacting. The angels, Norma Jean Welch and Dorothy Silvers made one almost forget that they were only acting. Frances Watson, as the lovely Damsel of Purity, Maxine Floyd, Dorothy Hill, and June Waugh as the three Damsels, and Ruth Ann Wil- son as Mary completed the feminine part of the cast and all gave excel- lent performances. Other male characters to enact their roles with dig- nity and ability were Marvin Jacobs, as Joseph, Miless Church, William Stockton, and Franklyn Dowd as the three Wise Men, and Neale Dillon and John Dillard as the Shepherds. Miss Winifred Gallagher directs this part of the production and with the exception of her two years' leave of absence always has been on hand to help make it a tremendous success. The above awards go to the acting, but before we could write finis to any description of the Holy Grail, we would have to give special awards to Mr. Dward Moore and Miss Logan Gilbreath for their work with the orchestra and mixed chorus. The groups furnished an unfor- gettable background for the story.

From the very opening words of Uncle Sam, portrayed by Robert Russell, to the closing refrains of God Bless America, sung by the entire cast, the main show of this year's Fun Fest was filled with music, thrill- ing stunts, and talent that sparkled with radiance. As the curtains parted following Uncle Sam's opening burst of ora- tory, the Glee Club broke into He's My Uncle, assisted by the tappers composed of Aliene Myers, Kathleen Curtin, Patsy Curtin, Crystal Jones, Helen Dinwiddie, Leslee Rucker, Beverly Guthrie, Betty Ketchum, Mar- garet Hendren, and Betty Lou Lehman. A rapid fire reporter skit then came upon the scene starring Jerry Augustine and Robert Hennessey as Blurp and Twerp, and featuring Mary Lou Pinger, Dorothy Castle, William Stockton, and Merlin Pettigrew. Then came America, I Love You, rendered by the chorus and sextette, composed of Virginia Street, Lucille Judkins, Wanda Adams, Jeanne Watson, Mary Janet Mullenioux, and Elizabeth Aholtz with June Rose Stanley taking the stage. A Negro skit followed this featuring the quartet of Calvin Morris, Ralph Wilson, Floyd Farr, and Tommy Taylor. Other entertaining acts to follow with the show well under way were: the Jesse James dance, assisted by the accordion band, the football dance, presenting much color and a succes- sion of emotional thrills as it depicted college lifeg a night club scene with dancers and feature acts including a tango by Dorothy Bray, Jack Collier, Kathleen Curtin and Bud Harlingg an acrobatic dance by Mildred Davis, and a two-piano duet featuring Mary Janet Mullenioux and Carol Jean Kost. Following the first act finale, Verl Corn stepped into the spotlight to sing Moon Over America. The second act proved exciting and entertaining, opening with a marimba duet by Beverly and Dorothy Barr. A military farce, composed of R. O. T. C. boys, was the next presentation. The final scene started with the baton twirlers, Mildred Davis, Ruth Shockley, Lois Jean Castle, and Mary Britt strutting to the music of Mr. Dward Moore's Shamrock Swing Band which provided the music for the entire show. Then came a military tap by Betty Jacobs and the Grand Finale. The tireless endeavor of Miss Ina Wachtel, general chairman of the main show, is something the students and faculty of Lafayette will not forget in years to come. Nor will the very helpful assistance of Miss Emma Lee Ficklin, Miss Loulu Golden, Miss Logan Gilbreath, Miss Ethel Graves, Miss Ina Culver, and many others be passed over lightly as the pages of history are turned back some day to this year's presentation of America Speaks.

The biggest day of all, however, is the September faculty picnic, the only faculty social event of the year. Krug Park provides the setting for this joyful gathering. Mr. Tracy Dale, superintendent, and M1'. D. H. Murphy, principal, in the center background, look as if they are enjoying themselves and have paused in their delicious repast to gaze at the camera. It might be said that a better looking group of teachers on a holiday would be hard to find. From left to right in the lower left-hand picture, we have the superb cooks of Lafayette cafeteria: Mrs. Bern Creager, Mrs. Marie Meek, and Mrs. Nina Imlay. The cooking utensils hanging above them in the kitchen establish a setting worthy of such talented culinary artists. If you ever have eaten in the Lafayette cafeteria, you'll sing their praises, for none could resist that delicious chile, chocolate fudge cake, cherry pie, etc. In the lower right-hand corner is friendly Mr. George Brown who is the competent janitor for senior high school and takes care of the third floor at Lafayette.

Lafayette's football warriors gave a good account of themselves last season on the gridiron. The Irish were victorious in three games, under- dogs in four games, and battled to ties in three games. The team, although light, was fast and the Irish backs were among the fastest in the city. When the season opened about seventy-five boys turned out hoping to become future Red Granges or Tommy Harmons. Coaches William Slayton and Lynn McHarg soon saw that their players were small but fast, so they improvised plays to fit these types of playe1's. The outcome proved very encouraging to the coaches as it brought out a backfield which was as fine as any in the city, and a line, which despite size, was very consistent. In the first game of the season, the Shamrocks treked to Plattsburg where they put on a grand show and came home on the right side of the ledger with a 19 to 0 victory. On the following Friday, William Chrisman, a member of the Pony Express Conference, moved to the Irish stadium. The Chrisman ,Bears and a fullback by the name of Dick Coffin plowed the Irish under with a 19 to 8 onslaught. Then came a long series of ties, first Atchison, 13-13, then Maryville in which neither team could penetrate the other's pay dirt, and last, Cen- tral, which also was a scoreles tie. Against Maysville the Irish backs ran wild and the final result was 20 to 6 in favor of the green and gray. Next on the list were the Cameron Dragons. These were the Irish gridiron guests for the crowning of the Shamrock football queen, Miss Dorothy Jean Silvers. One of the largest crowds of the season turned out to see this gala event and to witness the battle between the Irish and the Cameron eleven. Although Cameron's line was weak, their backfield kept the Irish guessing throughout the game. The final count was 13 to 6 in favor of the green tide. Next the Irish went to North Kansas City and it was there that they were given the works, 18 to 7, in the tough- est game of the season. Finally, after postponing it a week, the Irish met Benton. This was the best game of the season, although the Shamrocks were defeated 13 to 6. In a slow drizzle, the Shamrock edition of 1940 played its last game. This was against Christian Brothers, and the Eagles flew high over the Shamrocks with a 20 to 6 score. When the books finally were balanced, Lafayette stood third in city competition, and fourth in the Pony Express Conference. The 1940 season wound up the high school football careers of nine seniors: Junior Baldwin, Bob Geiger, Fred Heschong, Bob Hill, Lloyd Hope, Bobby Nedrow, Bill Ridley, Roland Thuman, and Dale Whitsitt ciafafayeffe, 'ML .xdre ere. U Something new! Previous to this year, only one cheerleader was elected by the senior high. This year, however, the sophomore, junior, and senior classes each elected one cheerleader. The sophomore class chose Merlin Pettigrew, right, the junior class, Charles Canaday, left, and the senior class, E. J. McCabe, not in the picture. Girl cheerleaders elected by the pep squad are Margie Ann Waller, left, and Betty Curtis, 1'ight. These girls, like the boys, are full of pep and have shown much school spirit at the many football and basketball games of the season. They stand out in their bright green and gray uniforms. Whether Lafayette was winning or losing, Irish spirits were raised by the many peppy yells these girls and boys led. Next year, another sophomore cheerleader will be chosen, and he 01' she will keep this position until graduation, as Merlin Pettigrew will be cheerleader in his junior and senior years, and Charles Canaday in his senior year. . . . . ,4,wlJJm. Under the able guidance of Coaches Bill Slayton and Lynn McHarg the Lafayette basketball team played a fairly successful season, winning nine games, losing nine, and finishing second in the city race. Because there were no playe1's on the first team who measured six feet, the Irish were handicapped by size, but they made up for it in their use of the fast break. At the beginning of the season, Coach Slayton had but four letter- men to build from: Dale Whitsitt, Bob Nedrow, Bob Geiger, and Clarence Sullivan, but he had three boys who had seen considerable varsity service in Junior Baldwin, Wayne Hinkle, and Howard Cordry. Realizing that his team was small but fast, Coach Slayton worked out a system whereby a fast break was used as the chief measure of scoring. During the season, the Irish toppled Savannah, Atchison, Central, twice, Maysville once, and they split a double-header with Christian Brothers. They were defeated by Benton, North Kansas City, William Chrisman, twice, and they bowed to Hopkins in the Savannah tournament. In the regional tournament, the Irish lost to Benton, who later went on to win both the regional and the state tou1'naments.

On either side of the thr one are the crowd of spectators anxious for a glimpse of royalty. BASKETBALL Bobby Nedrow: Bobby was the only Irishman to gain a place on the first all-city basketball squad. He was the second highest scoring player in the city. Clarence Sullivan: A player who made a very impressive showing this season was Clancy Sullivan. Until he finished his eligibility at mid-year, Clancy was the most dangerous player in the city. Robert Geiger: Although not a giant, Bobby held down the Irish center post. Bob played his same steady game throughout the season. Dale Whitsitt: Another senior who showed up well this season was Dale. He played guard and he was always on the alert. Junior Baldwin: When Baldy's eligibility expired at mid-year, the Irish lost one of the best defensive men in the city. His position as guard was hard to fill. Wayne Hinkle: The fact that he was an inexperienced player never stopped Wayne Hinkle. He was fourth in the city scoring race and always was a threat to the opposition. Howard Cordry: When Junior Baldwin left at mid-year, Howard was inserted in his spot. He did a fine job of defensive, as well as offensive, work. Page 58 a. ! W Wfvmw . Zi, Vw in :::..

At the extreme right Howard Cordry has just loosed his hold on the discus and is following through. In the left center, Delbert Hope has just given the rod to Bob Hill in the Medley Relay. These two, along with Wayne Hinkle and Bob Nedrow, won the Medley relay race at William Jewell. Bobby Nedrow, the Irish mite, is shown in the center picture endeavoring to establish a new mark in the broad jump. Bobby placed well in all the meets in which he competed. The group picture at lower left shows the members of 1941 track squad. These are the boys who carried the green and gray on the cinder path throughout the 1941 season. They are, left to right, front row: Everett Mourn, Thomas Buzzy Heschong, Clarence Vien, William Freiss, Wayne Hinkle, Rob- ert Geiger, Bob Hill, and Harold Sollars. Back Row: Coach Slayton, Robert Greenlee, Lloyd Bentrup, Harold Duke. Curtiss Darnell, Delbert Hope, Bill Ridley, and Assistant Coach Lynn McHarg. In the lower right hand corner, Bob Geiger is shown successfully completing a hurdle. Bob won a number of firsts and seconds this season. Throughout the season these boys practiced working themselves into good trackmen and by the end of the season they made a very successful team. W'ith only three of this year's seniors on the varsity, next year's team will be very well experienced. Page 60 manly for .xdcfion . . . Girls' sports play a very important part in school activities.
