Black and Gold MCKINLEY SENIOR HIGH SCHUUL W. I.. PAXSUN, Principal CEDAR RAPIDS, IUVVA 104 3 I044 DEDICATIU Mlss CAROLINE SOUTTER It is with great pleasure that we dedicate the BLACK AND GOLD of 1944 to one who is as devoted to our school as the entire student body and faculty is to her -Miss Caroline Soutter. Miss Soutter has taught in the Cedar Rapids public schools for thirty-four years. Nine of these years have been spent at McKinley, during which time she has developed and influenced the cultural and intellectual background of hundreds of students. Miss Soutter's own intellectual background is remarkable. Immediately after her graduation from Wellesley, she stepped into the Latin department of Washington High School. After twenty-four years of loyal service there, she came to McKinley, where she has taught both Latin and English extensively. We all gratefully thank Miss Soutter for the inspiration she has given us, and will miss her innumerable kindnesses and helpful guidance in years to come.

This society was organized in 1937 at McKinley Senior High School. High scholar- ship is the first requirement to admission into this honor society, as only those students in the upper twenty-tive percent are eligible. Leader- ship, to lead others to higher paths, and service to others are also necessary requirements. When rounded off with good character these attri- butes tend to exemplify the best students. The tlaming torch is the Emblem of the Honor Society, and the motto is 'tto bear for- ward the searching light of truth, to lead that others may follow, to keep burning in our school a high ambition or enduring values of life and to serve. In 11A, five per cent of the class is chosen to this society, in 12B, five per cent more of the Twenty-six class, and in 12A, five per cent more, so that iifteen per cent of the graduating seniors are members. The officers for the fall semester were: Presi- dent, Ray Scholl, Secretary, Frances Marshall, and Treasurer, Bill Trunecek. The officers for the spring semester were: President, Bill Trunecekg Secretary, Frances Marshall, Treasurer, Tom Carrithers. Members from the 12A class are: Bill Trune- cek, Jim Westcot, Dorothea Fry, Leora Zahorik, Harry Retz, Frances Marshall, Rose- mary Eicher, Shirley Frish, Ruth Milligan, and Arnold Holets. Members from the 12B class are: Tom Carrithers, Evelyn Packingham, and Joan Hinerwadel. The 11A students chosen to membership are: Ellen Trejtnar, Jacqueline DeMoss, Nick Fotion, and Norma Kacerovsky. ACTIVITY COUNCIL Top Row, left to right: N. lfotion, D. Anderson, fl. Xofal. R.

Activity Council Under the supervision of its officers and fac- ulty members, the fall semester of the Activity Council did many worthwhile things. Its offi- cers consisted of: President, Nick Thomas, Vice-President, Dick Marshall, Secretary, Roy Sorenson, Treasurer, Patty Lou Donald. The first major business of the council was the sell- ing of activity tickets. This was done very successfully, The fall Mixer called The Gym Door Canteenf' was both a social and a finan- cial success. An outstanding feature of this mixer was its excellent. all school talent floor show. The noon game system, in which the different Guidance groups competed against each other in sports, met with enthusiastic sup- port. Shortly after the spring semester started, a new Council was elected. Its officers consisted of: President, Dorothea Fry, Vice-President, Roy Sorenson, Secretary, Lois Anderson, Treasurer, Art Wall. The first real undertak- ing of the Council was the spring Mixer, a hard times party. This Mixer was one of great versatility, as every kind of dancing was done, from modern 'LBoogie to old-fashioned square dancing. Many educational lyceum as- semblies were held. Credit should be given to the courtesy desk committees, who did their work capably. Twenty-seven JANUARY CLASS PLAY The Night ot Jomuory l6th On December third, in the McKinley Audi- torium, the january graduating class of 1944 presented one of the most unique plays ever to he given on our stage. Not only were several of the actors called out from the audience, but also the jury, which was composed of different members of the audience, was brought to the jury box directly from the audience, adding to the extraordinary character of the play. The play centered around a three day court trial. The defendant was Karon Andre, played by Ortha Berger, who was being tried for the murder of her employer, James Folkner. Matching wits and words against her lawyer, played by Ray Scholl, was the district attorney, played by Bill Minshall, who supported Mrs. Folkner fBernadine Frameb and her father Twenty-eight CBoh Lesterj in their belief that james Folkner was murdered by Miss Andre and had not committed suicide. Suspense and daring were the keynotes of the case, with stirring evidence being brought in unexpectedly by a one time gangster who was in love with Miss Andre. Through the evidence given by this man, played by Gaylord DeVaul, the jury acquitted Karen Andre, to the disappointment of the judge, played by Gerald Mollman. Others in the play were Helen Wilson, Benny Pinsky, Sarah Johnson, Audrey Paulson, Bill Lewellen, George Cavros, Janet Lehman, Charles Briggs, Ellen Bacher, Nick Thomas. Helen Navratil, Lucille Tomkins, and Bettilou Pycha. JUNE CLASS PLAY Every Fomily Hos One On the evening of April 28, 1944, the June graduates, under the capable direction of Mrs. Walter Estby, presented a comedy in three acts: 'tEvery Family Has One,', by George Batson. The story of the play concerns a typical American family, the Reardons, and their prob- lems. The social-climbing mother, Laura, played by Eileen Smith, tries her best to ele- vate her family to the upper set of society. She manages to get her daughter, Marcia, played by Frances Marshall, engaged to wealthy Sherwin Parker, played by Harry Retz. The whole Reardon family has to re-organize their way of living in order to give a good im- pression to Mr. and Mrs. Parker, enacted by Marilyn Parks and jim Westcot. When the Parkers come to visit, the Rear- don's wise-cracking grandmother, played by Patty Donald, takes matters into her own hands. She manages to throw a monkey wrench into Laurals plans by bringing to their home a certain cousin Lily, played by Roth Coates, who joins Nana's conspiracy, and convinces the Parkers that the whole Reardon family is insane. The Parkers leave hastilyg Warry Reardon, the young son, played by David Warren, falls in love with Lily, Marcia is free to marry the man she really loves, Todd Galloway, played by Jim McNamara, devilish Penelope, Marcia's younger sister, played by Dorothea Fry, con- tentedly returns to her sling-shot and piano, Reginald, Laura's easy going husband, played by Milton Chase, happily puts on his grease- stained overalls and becomes his old self again, and Essie, the disgusted maid, played by Nadine Thompson, is delighted to see the family re- turn to normal after the strain she went through, trying to properly impress the Parkers with finger bowls and crepe suzettes. In spite of measles, mumps, and scarlet fever threatening the cast at the last minute, the final production was given successfully. The student body wishes to thank Mrs. Estby for the ad- mirable direction shown in both of the year's Senior Plays, and also the student teachers from Coe, who did a fine job. Twenty-nine A MUSICAL EVENING HA Musical Evening was presented on November 19 by all the students in the vocal department and the orchestra of the instru- mental department under the competent direc- tion of Miss Maurinc Hamblin and Mr. Paul Anthony. This musical program, in which about 160 students participated, replaced the fall operetta usually given each year. The program was presented in tive parts: First, two numbers by the Girls Glee Club and two sung by the Boys Glee Club, Second, a selection played by the orchestra, Third, An Evening in 1870 in three scenes, Fourth, an- other selection by the orchestra, and last, two impressive numbers sung by a combined chorus and accompanied by the orchestra. An Evening in 1870 , an original musical skit, was the highlight of the program in which old fashioned songs were sung by soloists of the voice department, and two instrumental numbers, a piano solo by Frances Kacerovsky and a violin solo by Janet Sullivan, were pre- sented. Featured vocal soloists were: Frances Kacerovsky, George McNelly, Gaylord DeYaul, Rose Marie jun, and Victoria Abodeely. The Barber Shop Quartet was composed of Joe Schaber, Gifford Tow, Orrin Gorsch and Gay- lord DeVaul. Other members of the cast were: Mary Switzer, Gloria Lehti, Norma Wagner, and Frances Marshall, 1'hi,-fy Another outstanding musical event of the year was the All-City Music Festival, pre- sented on the evenings of April 21 and Z2 at VVilson High School, with members of the voice and instrumental departments of the four high school participating. Certain members of McKinley's Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs, Mixed Chorus and A Cappel- la Choir were chosen by Miss Hamblin to sing at the festival. They were: Victoria Abodeely.

With only three returning lettermen, the team won three out of fifteen games. The Bruins defeated Belle Plaine: 31 to 25, and Roosevelt: 28 to 24 and 24 to 22, but lost to Monticello and Dubuque by close scores.

Andrew Blakey, Roy Lee, Bill Trunecek, and Bill Davenport were the only boys taken to the Drake relays. The Bruins were defeated by Franklin: 5 to 4, in a dual meet held at the Franklin field. Thirty-five S, We Are Lucky. One of the biggest differences between our high school and the schools of South America is in our clubs and student associations. We are lucky, because we have the opportunity of making school life more interesting and enjoy- able through our social groups right here at school. In South America the schools are built chief- ly for education and offer few extra curricular activities. The few clubs they have are formed mainly to serve their community with social reforms and are more like labor organizations than recreational groups. The other activities in which South American students participate are of a political nature. These organizations are certainly different from the versatile pro- gram McKinley offers to all students, for our school has six clubs, all different and all formed to give pleasure to their members. They are: The Hi-Y-Ettes, a girls' organization. which holds semi-annual Senior teas, has solicited for both the Junior and Senior Red Cross, has helped sponsor the Boys of the Week, has contributed to Schick Hospital, and has heard interesting speeches during the year. The offi- cers were: President, Marilyn Condon, Vice- President, Joan Hinerwadel, Secretary, Jackie DeMoss, Treasurer, Bertha Hanshaw. The advisers for the Hi-Y-Ettes are Miss Rogers and Mrs. Heath. The Hi-Y's, a boys' organization which has sponsored, with the Hi-Y-Ettes, the Boys of the Week, has given dances, held basketball tournaments and inter-club volleyball games. The fall term officers were: President, David Warren, Vice President, jack Deal, Secretary, Bob Lester, Treasurer, Gaylord DeVaul. The spring term officers were: President, Jim McNamara, Vice President, Jim Schaber, Sec- retary, Roy Sorenson, Treasurer, Bill Seaton. Mr. Anthony served as adviser. The Footlights Club is a, dramatic organiza- tion, which gave several interesting plays and held classes on stage make-up. Their fall offi- cers were: President, Ruth Kohl, Vice Presi- T hirty-six dent, Mary Ann Pechar, Secretary, Helen Wil- son, Treasurer, Betty Lebie. The spring officers were: President, Evangeline Cavros, Vice- President, Leora Zahorik, Secretary, Jackie DeMoss, Treasurer, Shirley Lewellen. The club is under the direction of Mrs. Estby, dra- matics coach. The Girls' Athletic Association participated in playdays, and gave several parties. The fall officers were: President, Dorothea Fry, Vice President, janet Lehman, Secretary, Ruth Kohl, Treasurer, Betty Lebie. The spring offi- cers were: President, Leora Zahorik, Vice Pres- ident, Anne Kacena, Secretary, Vivian Abo- deely, Treasurer, Ellen Tretjnar, The advisor for the club is Miss Nelson. The Spanish Club, uLos Vecinos Buenos, studied Spanish customs, authors, food, etc. Its spring officers were: President, Leora Zahorik, Vice President, Frances Kacerovsky, Secretary, Frances Marshall, Treasurer, Robert Pierce. The fall officers were: President, Bill Minshall, Vice President, Sarah Johnson, Sec- retary, Verlene Vaughan, and Treasurer, Betty Lebie. Miss Leven serves as advisor. The Latin Club, which was formed to study Roman life, had for its fall officens: Council, Maria Besta and Joyce Gearhart, Pro-Council, Wanda Sorenson, Scriba, Bernice Shonka, Quaestor, Ruth Nemecek. The spring officers were: Council, Doris Craven, Pro-Council, Gloria Kilborn, Scriba, Patty Pratt, Quaestor, Doris Tappen. The advisor was Miss Soutter. Also, the McKinley Guidance Program, un- der the supervision of Mr. Kelley, found jobs for several pupils, gave discussions on develop- ments of character, personality, and vocations, and helped the school as a whole to keep, its high principles. You can certainly see our school curriculum is greatly spiced by the presence of such worthy and pleasant clubs. Aren't you glad that you attend an American school, if only for this small reason?
