J-lte 1938 Aloteadct IN THE BEGINNING _ s OW rA IN APPRECIATION EDWARD D. PHILLIPS English University of Missouri As a salutatory to your request to say some- thing befitting from a member of the first faculty of your school, I must confess that when I was first invited to join that faculty, I reluctantly con- sented; but now, after 25 years of continuous service I reluctantly retire from such a harmonious and progressive faculty. A word of explanation may seem needed just here. When this school opened for business in 191 3, I had taught 37 years in Kansas City schools, one year in Benton Ward School, 20 years in Old Cen- tral and 16 years in the Manual Training High School, which I helped to originate. After I had aided in starting two high schools I deemed it wise to engage in a more lucrative business as a provision for old age. While I was thwarted in my business plans, I am never the less proud of being one of the Old Guard that put this school on the map with such enviable achievements, too numerous to mention here; and now in a valedictory spirit I felicitate with my comrades on having piloted our Viking school to its Silver Jubilee and bespeak for it a still more enviable record on its attaining its Golden Jubilee. — Edward D. Phillips (Northeast). Mr. E. D. Phillips, the senior English instructor and head of the English De- partment, is ending his career at Northeast this year. Mr. Phillips has had a most individual life. He began his educational career teaching Indians and half-breeds in a school in Wyandotte, Kansas, in 1874. Mr. Phillips came to Kansas City in 1877 and taught, first, one year in the old Benton Ward School. Then, he was transferred to Central High School, where he taught for twenty years, among other subjects elocution and Latin. Later, Mr. Phillips became principal of the Manual Training High School, the first of its type in this country, a school which he and a fellow teacher, Mr. G. B. Morrison, are credited with establishing. Mr. Phillips has introduced many school activities and he has encouraged student participation in them. The organization of literary societies and the con- test was conceived by him in order to encourage the cultivation of literary ability. He also originated the inter-high school contests for Missouri high schools, held at the Missouri State University to stimulate interest in oratory and debate. Northeast High School is proud to pay tribute to a pioneer in Kansas City ' s educational system, to express her appreciation to a man who has contributed many invaluable services to education in his educational epic of 62 years— The Staff The Noreaster Staff took an unusual interest in arranging this page as a surprise tribute to their Literary Advisor, Professor E. D. Phillips. It is their desire that it he printed without alteration. Mr. Edward D. Phillips, April 12, 1853, Alt.

FRENCH Instrumental Music Mr. Walter A. French, band and orchestra instructor of Northeast, passed away Thursday, October 21, 1937, at the Research Hospital. Mr. French was responsible for all of the fine exhibitions given by the band and orchestra at school activities during his period of service. We can best remember him through the Viking Varieties, which was successful largely through his faithful work. Although his doctor stated that he would not live to be twenty-one, because of tuberculosis, Mr. French became one of the six best trumpet players in the United States. Few people knew that Mr. French spent his personal money for the benefit of the band, orchestra, and even individuals. An example of this is shown by an incident which occurred just before the band left for Lawrence, Kansas, to participate in the 1935 National Band Contest. Each person in the band needed a certain amount of money to cover his expenses on the trip. Several of the students did not have the money and could not get it. Well, Mr. French said nothing, but you can be sure that all of those students went to Lawrence. So, let us give praise to a person who loved music and strove to bring out musical ability in others— Mr. French, or Pop, as he was known to many. Dr. John W. McMurphev, history teacher of Northeast, passed away at the Vineyard Park Hospital on Monday, April 18, 1938. Dr. McMurphey led a varied life as traveler, war pilot, athletic coach, and teacher. He was born and reared at Madison, Kansas. Dr. McMurphey was studying political science at the University of Kansas when the United States entered the World War. He enlisted in the army and served in the air corps. When the armistice was signed, Dr. McMur- phey, a first lieutenant, returned to the University of Kansas. Upon his graduation, Dr. McMurphey obtained a civil service job teaching in the Philippine Islands. Later, he returned to America and became all-around athletic coach at Manual High School. His black derby became a tradition at Manual— the players came to know how he was receiving their playing by the angle at which the derby was tilted. In 1934, Dr. McMur- phey took an extended tour through England, Ireland, Scot- land, France, Germany, and Italy. He traveled by bicycle in the British Isles, visiting the homesites of his ancestors. In 1936, he obtained his Ph. D. degree at the University of Iowa and then returned to teach history at Northeast. During his two years at Northeast, Dr. McMurphey was greatly interested in school activities. He was very popular among his students. Those who did not have the privilege of knowing Dr. McMurphey admired his pleasant smile and kind manner. JOHN W. McMURPHFY Social Science .

R. V HARM AN Advisor JUNIOR COLLEGE CLASS OF 1938 We, the Class of 1938, feel that our education is just beginning. Our efforts to attain a high achievement this year, as in past years, were stimulated by the fact that the Junior College is to be discontinued next year. Even with this, our goals, no matter how far awav they may have seemed, were not impossible to achieve. Approximately one-fourth of this year ' s class is planning to go on to college, and the others are prepared to find better positions than they otherwise would. Other classes before us have resolved to do great things, and so have we, but our important resolution was to be more socialized. Whether we will be of an intellectual variety or not remains to be seen. 16 17 AIELLO. KEN ' N ' ETH JAMES So quiet was he. we hardly could tell. How much he knew and just what he did not know well.

A. were organized in the fall of 1932 for the purpose of providing some definite organization wherein Junior College III students might meet to discuss matters relative to their social, intellectual, and spiritual development. Miss Agnes Engel and Mr. Charles Burke act as advisors. The College III group does not participate in any of the regular exercises in athletics or in the societies ' functions, so the College Y plays an important part in its own special extra-curricular life. During the past year baseball, basketball, and football games were plaved between the Secretarial group and the Liberal Arts and Engineering groups, and a ping-pong tournament was held. Many worthwhile speakers were secured and a series of meetings on voca- tional careers was presented. The outstanding event of the year was a joint meeting with the College III girls ' Y, at which Bishop Spencer was the guest of honor and addressed the group so eloquently. The girls had several teas at which special speakers were presented. Pot-luck suppers were given, and many days of chats and talks were held. 21 COLLEGE III HONOR ROLL Row 1 — Cox, Scott, Ost, Teeple, Eaton, Hollopeter, Moran, Brown Row 2 — Sullivan, Burns, Wolf.

Every Engineer graduated from Junior High School on the honor roll. This year, the Scholar of the New Plan III Class was a member of our de- partment. In spite of the fact that more than half of the Engineers work outside of school, 50 per cent of the Engineers were on the honor roll last semester. Six of the Engineers plan to continue their education. Robert Smith plans to study actuarial science. Virgil J ohnson is going to take up mining geology. J. C. Leslie and Allan Lay are going to take chemical engineering, with a major in petroleum refining. Kenneth BIv plans to take up metallurgical engineering. 22 NORTHEAST JUNIOR COLLEGE The Junior College course is a three-year course beginning in the Junior year of the high school. The course has three divisions: the Engineering, the Liberal Arts, and the Business Department. The Engineering course requires mathematics each year: college algebra, trigonometry, physics, engineering drawing, analytics, calculus, and surveying. Such other subjects as chemistry, English, machine drawing, descriptive geometry, materials, and analytical mechanics are included in the requirements. The Liberal Arts course offers the usual subjects given in the Freshman and Sophomore years of college, such as English, mathematics, science, social studies, and foreign languages. The Business Department is for those students who expect to follow a business career. This course includes at least twenty hours of academic college work. To satisfy the present demands, the course is divided into three divisions: Accounting, Clerical, and Secretarial. Students are permitted to major in any one of the three divisions or elect a general course. Upon graduation, they can command a position in six to ten different tvpes of work. This arrangement makes possible not only many chances for employment, but also greater oppor- tunity for advancement. The students are qualified for the specialized jobs of large corporations as well as for the general work of a small office. The class of 1938 is the sixth Junior College class to be graduated from this system. An approximate total of 428 have been graduated from this school (including the class of 1938); of those, 1 14 have entered college. Sixteen of the first year class graduated from Senior College with their bachelor ' s degree. These sixteen m ade unusual records at the schools they attended. Our graduation lists include three students who won highest honors at Kansas University; one, a Phi Beta Kappa at Missouri University, has received a scholarship at Heidelberg University in Germany for next year; one was admitted to the Junior class at Wellesley College and graduated at the regular time last June. Of those gradu- ating from the Business Department, 90 per cent have succeeded in getting jobs with representative firms in the city. Arrangements have been made with the various colleges belonging to the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools that our recom- mended graduates will be admitted to their Junior classes. The institutions at- tended by our graduates thus far are the University of Missouri, L T niversity of Kansas, Northwestern University, University of Texas, and several colleges in the middle west. This Junior College has offered an unusual opportunity to the patrons of the Northeast High School for their children to obtain a junior college education at a comparatively low cost. 23 O S J l SENIOR OFFICERS HARRY BARTON President MARCILE BAEHR Vice-President PEGGY BENDER Giftorian BETTY DENTON Secretary MARY ELLEN LAURY Treasurer WILLIAM SCRUBY Sergeant-at-Arms HARWOOD CRAIG Reporter MR. L. A. PINKNEY Advisor SENIOR CLASS This year, the cover of the Noreaster is stamped with its Silver Anniversary label. For a quarter of a century she has been offering to her students the best of what was to be had. During those twenty-five lustrous years, many outstanding groups have come and gone, each placing its own individual impress on the history of the school. It is certain that this year ' s class has benefited by the fine prestige established by those who have gone before us. Throughout this year it has been our one ambition to contribute to the school ' s record in some fine fashion. Whether we, as a class, have failed or succeeded, only time can tell. We realize that to all good things must come an end. And so we bid a fond farewell to Northeast High. ' And may we e ' er leaving But add just a gem, To shine forever In thy diadem. 24 SENIOR BALLOT 26 ABRANZ, DOROTHY MARIE Delta Literary Society 4; Quiet, intelligent, friendly. AKERS. BEATRICE E.

The crew had just been settled after a mutiny, headed by a certain Alfred Wilcox. This Wilcox fellow was built like .Man Mountain Dean and had to be handled with care. On the side, his pastime was slaying the fairer sex. We were transferred from our big ocean liner to smaller boats; and there on the boat on whi ch we were consigned was none other than Harry Barton, who was head of the small boat cruisers in that particular section, and mighty proud of it! We had a little difficulty convincing him who we were, as I guess we had changed quite a bit. He talked to us quite a while about all of our old friends; said we ' d be sur- prised when we ran on to some of them. Harry introduced us to his cute, petite little fisher-lady-wife, Jean Dexter. Her eyes shone with delight when she saw us; even invited us to come in for a while, but we had to travel on as we had tarried long enough. As Harry was so interested in his work that he couldn ' t take us on our tour, he told us of an old Northeast grad who had made a success of himself, and would do it. His office was the swankiest in the city and he was a prominent 400. After we had been ushered through all the secretaries, to the ninth vice-president, and finally, to his very private secretary, we were standing face to face with Mr. Edwin Nance. We were speechless, but not Nance. We regained our composure and tried to convince him that we used to go to school with him, but he would have none of it. He came from the most private school of them all; so we let it go at that. We explained our mission and after much thought he consented to be our escort. As night was coming on, he made reservations for us at the Waldorf-Astoria and promised to take us to dinner. There at the hotel we saw Bob McCarty, as a bell-boy; where, after he took our bags to our rooms, we left him holding out his hand— for heaven knows what! At the dinner we were waited on by a clumsy waitress, who not only spilled soup in our laps, but also coffee down our backs. She had a pretty bad case of stuttering, and was at last able to beg our pardon. Edwin told us that she was Marcile Baehr, and that the stuttering had come from Joe Fitzgerald telling her he was through! And were we surprised to hear that? After we left the restaurant with no other serious accidents, we were ready for the night life. Our first stop was the Club Continental. There was nothing outstanding there except a glimpse of Mary Ellen Laury as cigarette girl. She had been working there ever since she left school and had, by hook or crook, saved a little piece of money— through tips, some imagine; but most likely gold- digging Don Sturges. Edwin directed us to a better sort of place, the Biltmore Room, where James Duardi had become a well-known Master of Ceremonies and was back there to celebrate his fifth year as the favorite M. C. The band that was playing there was the Benny Goodman gathering of 1944— now known as Bob Watson— King of Swing. We have to hand it to Watson for his jam band, which in our estimation even surpassed the most popular band of ' ;8. As morning was drawing upon us, we decided to inspect one more spot before retiring, so we visited Jack Dempsey ' s old place, which was now owned by our old pal, Clarence Rupe, who had made a better record than that of Dempsev ' s as the world ' s best heavyweight fighter of all time. Since the first night of this kind of life and all the surprises was a little too much for us, we were ready to go home. Nance was just getting warmed up, so he put us in a cab and proceeded to other of the high spots. 41 m ) _ r v S . r COLLEGE II OFFICERS CLARENCE RUPE President FRED DIEBEL Vice-President ALFRED WILCOX G if tori an.

While our class is the last of this Junior College experiment we do not lose interest or lag behind. We strive to make our class the best ever.

WEAVER Advisor JUNIOR CLASS The Class of ' 39, composed of girls and boys whose chief concern is with the future progress of Northeast, sincerely pledge to revere and cherish those standards of loyalty, obedience, and honor which have been entrusted to their care by others who have gone before. This year the Juniors have asserted themselves, having achieved honors in athletics, scholarship, school activities, and the social life at Northeast. The Junior officers are leaders not only in their respective groups, but are also prominent in all activities of the school. The members of the Class of ' }o fully realize the significance of the position of leadership conferred upon them and willingly accept the responsibility with a feeling that they will prove worthy of the trust imposed upon them. May the honor and glory of Northeast be enhanced as a result of the efforts put forth by members of the Junior Class! 48 d r i n J JUNIOR HOME ROOMS JUNIOR HOME ROOM 104 Row 1 — (Bottom) — Summers.

He passed the bar examination last spring, although he plans to go on teaching his com- mercial subjects. Not many people are able to perform this difficult task, with other work going on at the same time. But due to Mr. Carder ' s perseverance and ambition he was able to ac- complish it. Mr. Wasson This year new life and more pleasure was brought to Northeast than had been in previous years. This was particularly so in our music department. Mr. Wasson came to us in January and put the band on its feet in a very short time. The applause that the students have given in the assemblies indicates that Northeast can be second to no other high school under the direction of Mr. Wasson. Mr. Markey Excitement came to us in the athletic department. We saw thrills in every football game of the year. Mr. Markev, our new coach in football, was able to give every team in the league a scare with his material from the Viking group. If Mr. Markev remains with us, we are sure to have a championship team next year due to his experience in the game and his knowledge of handling boys. Mr. Peters He hasn ' t passed a bar examination or he isn ' t new to the school, but he ' s a person that is thought of when the name Northeast is mentioned. This could be no one else but Mr. Reeves Peters. He has been over here for 17 years, and in that time has turned out many basketball championship teams and track champions. We are very lucky to have such an excellent person to be the coach of our teams. Mr. Salter Mr. Salter, who has been a member of the Junior College Department at Northeast for six years, has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. This award is a distinct honor and a deserved recognition of Mr. Salter ' s research work in the study 7 of original mansucripts. He will continue his work in England. Northeast wishes you the best of success, Mr. Salter. 68 - o c_ Row 1— Mrs. Bell. Mr. Chaffee, Mr. Chapin. Mr. Phillips Row 2 — Miss Stuart, Miss M.

While the ever-changing ranks of students strive to maintain and intensify the glory of Northeast during their brief stay, the faculty continues year after year to combine their efforts to improve our school, ever looking toward perfection. They are the stationary force whose efficiency is founded upon experience. The service rendered by members of the faculty who have been at Northeast since its foundation in 191 3 is respectfully evaluated by every Noreaster. 69 N. , vmm r Ar PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION PAREXT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION Row 1 — Tessmer, Peterson, Wyatt, Miller, Thompson, Patterson, Vose, Newlon Row 2 — Cate, Ball, Decker, Springer, Hollopeter, McFarland, Bender Row 3 — Chapin, Baker, Frederick, Ball.

The Art Committee, a group composed of many of the school ' s foremost artists, met regularly each week during the year. Through their faithful, original work, the Noreaster has retained that individuality of style for which it is noted. The members of the Noreaster Art Committee are Harwood Craig, James Teason, Elvira Cannatella, Eva Mae England, Doris Kubicki, Ursula Zahn, Robert Bonfils, and Billy Teason. NOREASTER ANNUAL STAFF Silveresta! This inspiring theme has led the 1938 Noreaster Annual Staff to create a yearbook which, thev believe, surpasses all its predecessors. They have striven to combine distinguishing old features and attractive new ones in order to present a yearbook that fully represents student life at Northeast. The advisors in this undertaking were Miss Newitt, Miss Pile, Mr. Marsh, Mr. Phillips, and Mr. White. The division pages reflect the progress of the Viking procession as it marched triumphantly down the years, celebrating at each anniversary new victories. In memory of the many honors that have been won in every field, the Noreaster Staff presents a special section devoted to the past accomplishments of Northeast, the School of Champions! 73 r S COURIER STAFF FIRST TERM Row 1 — Herbster, Antrirn T „ewis r M.

Special attractions were included on the feature page, and pictures and cartoons added zest to the paper. The Sports department gave the readers a behind-the-headlines insight into athletic activities. In celebration of the school ' s twenty-fifth anniversary, the staff published a special eight-page edition containing a resume of the school ' s accomplishments, a page devoted to the members of the original faculty who are still teaching at Northeast, and a pictorial history of the various departments.

P. K. HEALY MAJOR CLICK MAJOR RYDER The Northeast High School R. O. T. C. Battalion was led the first semester by Major Don Click. Since Click is mid-year, he completed the three years of military train- ing in January. He became inactive at that time. Major Click has been a leader throughout his three years at Northeast in other school activities, as well as in R. O. T. C. Click be- came a corporal when a Junior, having a squad in the crack platoon. He became a first sergeant the next semester and was pro- moted to the rank of second lieutenant the first semester of his senior year. He was captain of Company C before being appoint- ed major by Sergeant P. K. Healy. Major Click took the examination for colonel given by Colonel Joseph H. Grant, P. M. S. T. of the Kansas City High Schools. Click has obtained other honors in ad- dition to R. O. T. C. He is Editor-in-Chief of the Noreaster Annual and he maintains a high scholastic standing. He made the high- est honor roll last year. Major David Ryder, an outstanding R. O. T. C. student, succeeded Major Click as commander of the Northeast Battalion. Ryder has accomplished much as an R. O. T. C. student. His qualities as a military cadet showed up when he was a sopho- more. Ryder won first place in individual competition for first year cadets between the eight represe ntatives of each high school. For this victory he received a regulation army saber. He was promoted to the rank of sergeant his junior year. Ryder received the first place, gold American Legion medal for being the most proficient cadet of first and second year cadets in Northeast. He became a cadet captain in October; com- manding Company B, until his promotion in March. Ryder was active in other school affairs. He is president of the Northeast Society of Debate and in other social organizations. 79 CADET OFFICERS Row 1 — Capt. Cate, Maj. Click, Maj. Teeple (Sgt. Healy). Maj. Ryder. Capt. Wattson, Capt.

Cimino THE CADET OFFICERS The cadet officers this year have done their best in living up to the motto: Knowledge is essential to efficient leadership. They have had a fine spirit and have studied hard. Officers ' meeting was held once a week at which time dis- cussions were led bv Sergeant P. K. Healy or by the cadet battalion commander. The cadet officers act as assistants to Sergeant Healy. As much responsibility as possible is placed on the cadet officers, thus showing their abilities as leaders. The cadet, to be an officer this year, had to reach a high standard of efficiency. RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING CORPS The first form of R. O. T. C. was started back in the year of 1862 when President Lincoln signed the Morrill Act providing for a form of military training in all land grant colleges. A need for this form of training was seen as early as around 18 12. Thomas Jefferson, always a strong peace advocate, said, It (the War of 18 12) proves more forcibly the necessity of obliging every citizen to be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and the Romans, and must be that of every free state. We must train and classify the whole of our male citizens and make military instruction a regular part of collegiate education. We can never hope to be safe until this is done. It has been said, The R. O. T. C. is the Keystone of the arch of national defense. The college or high school student who takes the R. O. T. C. course is per- forming the highest patriotic duty he is capable of rendering, a duty whose importance cannot be exaggerated. He is preparing himself for useful service to his country, not only in the event of war, but also in peace. He is receiving training in the nation ' s greatest school for good citizenship. The Junior or basic course taught in secondary schools consists of four years or three years. The uniforms and equipment are furnished by the War Depart- ment. Authorities recognize this is excellent training for citizenship and of benefit to the individual in the following respects: It improves the physical health, strength, posture and general appearance. It inculcates respect for and loyalty to law and constituted authority. It makes the students amenable to discipline and control. It promotes courtesy and consideration for others. 80 R. 0. T. C. HOP QUEEN ' S— Kelley (Queen), Roach (Aid), Cawby (Aid) QUEEN AND AIDES This year the cadets attending the Hop selected a queen and two aides. As queen the cadets elected Miss Marcia Kellev, a Senior. The two aides selected were Miss Gloria Roach and Miss Pat Cawby. The girls accompanied bv their escorts marched down an aisle of officers who crossed sabers. The queen and her aides were then introduced to the guests and cadets. MILITARY BALL The Northeast Battalion held their annual Military Ball March 18. The gym was decorated in several beautiful colors bv a detail of eighteen cadets the after- noon before the hop. Guidons of each company were placed around the sides to add color and also to present a more military air. The ball was very colorful because in addition to the streamers, pretty girls in beautiful formals swayed with their escorts to the rhythm of Happy Paul ' s Orchestra. The cadets with shinv buttons, medals and pressed uniforms pre- sented a more formal dance. Sixtv couples attended the dance and many were alumni of the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps. Among the guests were: Lieutenant Colonel Joseph H. Grant, P. M. S. T. of the Kansas City High Schools; Major F. F. Dugan, Assistant P. M. S. T.; Sergeant and Mrs. Morris, and Lieutenant F. Kegan, a Reserve Officer. 81 COMPANY A Row 5 — Pierce Row 4 — Barker, Dugan, Province, Hays, Hamilton, Goodrich, Nichols, Jackson, Buchanan, Breibeck, Hawley, Meals, McCorkendale, Childer Row 3 — Weatherman, McEIhinny, Davis, Younkin, Rivers, Jones, Parsons, Yokley, Good, Long, Smith, McCowan, Fortney, Stanley, Hibdon Row 2 — Aregood, Levine, Martinson, Brown, Hodges, Welch, Dougherty, Sooter, Canfield.

The Vikings placed fourth in the City Match with a score of 790 points out of a possible 1000 points. Arbogast, captain of the team, again qualified for the expert medal. Paul Meador, a first year cadet, qualified as an expert rifleman and was also high scorer for Northeast. Henry De Maddalena, who qualified for the marksman medal, and Arbogast will be eligible for competition next year. Sergeant P. K. Healy, instructor and coach of the team, spent many hours after school and on Saturdays preparing the team for the match. He deserves credit for the team ' s success. The individual scores were: Meador 167, Arbogast 166, Ryder 164, De Maddalena 152, Wilson 141. Total 790. VIKING RIFLE CLUB Row 5 — Lloyd, Davis, Baldwin, Dougherty, Ferguson, Admires, Wirth.

This club is a member of the National Rifle Association. The purpose of this club is to teach the safety precautions in handling a rifle and give the members a chance to win medals for good shooting. The boys fire by stages of 10 targets for each medal. The club fires after school and on Saturday; therefore every boy has a chance to qualify for at least one medal. The boys fire .22-caliber rifles on the fifty-foot range. The officers of the club this year were: President, Major David Ryder; Vice-President, Captain Charles Cate, and Secretary -Treasurer, Captain .Morris Dunning. 84 r- r-r BOYS SPORTS Charles B.

In victory or defeat, I shall keep the faith. 85 ) o n v COACH PETERS COACH MARKEY i lR. DENISTOX ATHLETIC STAFF Northeast ' s record-breaking Athletic History over the past twenty-five years can be traced to one thing— expert coaching plus good material. While Northeast, of course, wants winning teams, the highest standards of sportsmanship are taught by the Viking tutors. This is an accomplishment truly as great as any laurel a Northeast team has ever won. The football team under Coach Markey, while not finishing high in the standings, turned in an excellent performance in comparison with the previous season. Coach Peters turned an inexperienced basketball squad into one of the best teams in the league; but only after a poor start that saw the boys lose two of their first three games. Mr. Peters also coaches track, the sport for which North- east is probably best known. Mr. Denniston handled the inconspicuous and disagreeable task of finance in a commendable manner. RUSS LOWE BILLY SCRUBY HUGH BOUNDS TEAM CAPTAINS Russell Lowe, as football captain, set an example both on and off the field that was hard for his mates to live up to. As an end, he was a deadly defensive player and he possessed outstanding field leadership. Northeast couldn ' t have asked for a better captain. Billy Scruby was elected honorary captain of this year ' s basketball team. Bill was not a high scorer but he was one of the best defensive players in the league. Hugh Bounds is the only letterman returning from last year. As this year ' s track captain, he will be one of Northeast ' s main point-getters for the coming season. 86 r sr FOOTBALL PLAYERS FOOTBALL From the league dark horse to a title contender and back to just another team, is the best description of how the Northeast football team ranked during the 1937 season. Northeast started practice with the odds against them. Coach .Markey was new to his players, and school was delayed in opening, consequently the new coach had only two weeks to select his team from players he had never seen perform. Northeast tied the favored East team, and started a short-lived rise to glory that was climaxed a week later by a 24-0 win over the Southwest Indians. Northeast faded from the limelight as suddenly as it rose to it, when Jack Yetter ' s place-kick split the uprights for Paseo ' s 7-6 victory. The next week Westport continued to send the Vikings on the backward path with a 7-0 win. When the Vikings met Central in the league ' s final game, hopes were high that Northeast would spill the Blue Eagles from the undefeated class, but when the game was only two minutes old, Kavanaugh raced over the goal line for the first of three Central touchdowns. Northeast finished fifth in the league, but was second only to Central in offensive power: a hint that big things can be expected of Coach Markey and his team next year. Coach Markey had two of the best backs in the league in George A lance and Bill Scruby. Both were first team All-Stars. Northeast had, by far, more razzle dazzle than any team in the league. Against Central they executed the offensive gem of the season, a triple lateral play that netted thirty yards and led to their only score of the game. GEORGE MANGE Instead of telling vou about George. I ' ll let these facts be vour guide: Coach Markev bailed him as the best back I ever coached. George ranked third in the vote for the citv ' s outstanding high school football plaver. He was an All-Star selection. BILL SCRUBY When Mance couldn ' t get around the ends it was up to Bill to make it through the center. He did such a good job he was voted a posi- tion on the All-Star team. 87 S.

These new routines by the leaders, consisting of variations of popular dance steps and original novelties, met with widespread approval and helped bolster the morale of the team and crowd, when the going was rough. The cheer leaders this year were: Canon Kane, Clarence Rupe, George Rush, and Allen Slagle. Harry Rosenblum acted as assistant cheer leader, while George Rush played on the basketball team. BASKETBALL Northeast ' s basketball team reversed the showing of the Viking footballers. They started out poorly, but as the season grew older they developed into one of the best teams in the league, and probably were the best defensive team, not bar- ring East. Northeast ' s inability to score was not lack of offensive drive, but their im- potence to find the range when they did get the shots. In the last two games, several league officials remarked, If Northeast started the season playing as they are playing now, they would have won the champion- ship easily. Northeast started the season with only one letterman. This was one of the reasons for the team not getting in stride until late in the season. The league season opened with three teams— East, Manual, and Central— the favorites, before the season reached the half-way mark. Paseo, with classy Joe Sparks at the helm, loomed as the team to beat. The loss of George Rush was felt, but not as seriously as it was first expected. Some of the reserves filled in in a style that was hardly expected of them. Bill Scruby, who was edged out of a first team All-Star berth by Jack Rufe, was voted the team ' s captain. His defensive play was the outstanding feature of the Viking ' s game. Paseo, East, and iVIanual tied for the title. The winner was to be decided by one-half game play-offs, but it took an averaging of the points to give the title to Paseo by one-half of one percentage point. The season was climaxed by an inter-city play-off between McKinley and Central Highs of St. Louis and Paseo and East Highs of Kansas City. East lost to Central 18-13, while Paseo was edged out 13-15 in three overtime periods with McKinley, the St. Louis champions. The second team, with a Junior and a Sophomore team sharing the game service, has shown some promising players for the ' 3 8- ' 39 season. 90 r •v Slagle Kane Rupe Rush BASKETBALL LEAGUE STANDINGS Team Won Lost Pet.

Northeast has as extensive a program as any school in the city: Touch foot- ball, basketball, ping-pong, boxing, wrestling, tennis, golf, swimming, volley ball, softball, track and field also being included in this curriculum. This wide range of activities expresses Northeast ' s emphasis on participation in athletics to a very high degree, and the fact that some 300 boys participate shows the student body, as well, interested. 96 GIRLS ATHLETICS STUDENT ATHLETICS MANAGERS v ay GIANT VOLLEY BALL SENIOR ALL-STAR C.

PLAY DAYS The system of Play Days for girls was inaugurated last fall among the high schools of Kansas City. The tournaments were held to give the girls a good time, to provide them with a broader knowledge of hockey, volley ball, basketball, and baseball, and to develop a friendlier feeling among students of the different high schools. The first of the season, the Hockey Pow-wow was held on November 13, 1937, at Southwest High School. Besides the hostess team, Southwest, the line-up included teams from Central, Manual, Westport, Paseo, Northeast, Barstow, and Sunset Hill High Schools. Each team played three other teams, and although no official scores were recorded, Northeast is proud of her girls, for they won every game they played. Following the games a luncheon was served in the cafeteria. Funfesta was the name given to the Basket Ball Play Day held on Febru- ary 5, 1938, at Westport High School. The same schedule for the e;ames was fol- lowed and Northeast again won all of her wames. The Volley Ball Play Day was held on March 19, 1938, at Manual Training- High School. The Yi-Queens kept up their good record by again winning all of their games. Previous to the luncheon, a social hour was held in the gym, and was enjoyed by all. Northeast was the hostess for the Baseball Play Day, held on May 7, 1938. Girls ' All-Star Baseball teams from seven Kansas City High Schools participated. 103 X.

Socially prominent Vi-kings and Yi-queens rhythmically swayed with swing tunes played by the orchestra in the dimly-lighted gymnasium. Later in the evening, many of the couples participated in the popular dance of the occasion, The Big Apple. During intermission, punch and wafers were served in the alcove. Among the guests present were several prominent alumni. The gymnasium was attractively decorated with colorful paper streamers. The society banners massed on the rail of the chaperons ' box gave a touch of dignity to the occasion, while the artistic murals added a note of festivity. The murals were designed by Doris Kubicki, Ursula Zahn, Robert Bonfils, Harwood Craig;, Billy Teason, and James Teason. The Inter-Society Dance is our school ' s outstanding social event of the year. Members of societies and their dates are eligible to attend. The dance is chaperoned by the society advisors and parents of several of the members.

An interested audience gave their undivided attention to the speakers in declamation and oration. Tense excitement rilled the auditorium as an eager audience awaited the decision of the judges. The Alpha Literary Society won first place. The Bentons and School-at-Large tied for second place. After the announcement, the victors marched triumphantly up and down the hall singing their society song. 108 LITERARY SOCIETIES Literary societies are, perhaps, the most valuable of Northeast ' s institutions from the student ' s point of view. The purpose of the societies has been, since 19 1 3, to further both literary and social activities in the school. The annual intellectual Lit Contest stimulates the members of each organi- zation to perform to the best of their ability for the honor of their society. The keen competition promotes good sportsmanship among its participants. The School-at-Large is also privileged to enter the contest. The five events which are judged each spring are poem, essay, short story, oration, and declamation. To win a gold, silver or bronze medal is an honor well worth the effort put forth in preparing the material. The Inter-Society Dance, which is held each fall, is eagerly looked forward to by members of the societies and those other students who are fortunate enough to be invited. The cherished friendships, which are formed through constant co-operation and companionship, are permanent reminders of the many benefits derived from being a member of a society. POEM PRAIRIE SCHOONER Isabella Entsminger School-at-Large The call Roll out is given, The schooner winds its way Behind the trudging oxen To the dawn of another day. Under its coat of prairie dust. Under the azure sky, Beneath the flocks of wild, free fowls That above its white top flv. On, on the winding prairie trail, Till finally the curtain lifts, And there, behold, is Oregon- Blessed with the new land ' s gifts. But now the white top is old and torn, The spokes in the wheels are thin; While the bows, once sturdy, stand bowed down From the force of storms and wind. The oxen have long since passed away, The boys have grown to men; The hardy pioneers have reached Their life trail ' s Oregon. But the prairie schooner stands erect, Though by the years grown frail- It is an emblem of courage there, The last of the Oregon Trail. 109 ORATION WHAT PRICE GLORY Wade Rubick Benton Literary Society Mad man, lav down your lethal arms! Mad world, accept the peace! Great War God, sail from our shores, and let us cleanse ourselves of you and our false ambitious pride. And plague war, let those nations who wish to change the status quo of the world seek peace- ful means. Yet, because they feel that their place in the sun has been obliterated, they have turned to the easiest but most dangerous method of security and power— a vast preparedness of naval and military armaments. To offset a possible clash of these armies, youth must enlarge his sacred rights of Free- dom, Liberty, and Happiness, and with these rights hold the torch of action above the loath- some conflict of states, of pestilence, and of death on a foreign battlefield. Oh youth, be not succumbed by the thrill of the bugle call, nor the enchanting mirage of a dictator ' s promises. Let not vour priceless Liberty be dragged at the foot of a dictator ' s triumphal chariot, or in a battlefield strewn with the remains of men and of animals, of machines designed to mangle and crush life. For youth does not desire a shell-torn, blood-stained battlefield paraded by dead armies. He does not desire a battlefield of dead hopes, ethics, and ideals. And though he honors those wreathed and crumpled creatures who withstood or fell before the tortures of our last great war, youth shall stand steadfast in the pathway to block possible future conflicts. Why must men conspire for power? Scheme and connive to destroy the teachings of a Prince of Peace? Why must politicians, who, being fond of front-page publicity, risk- international complications? Why must we make devices of war to maim and destroy the misguided souls of foreign lands? It is to make the world safe for democracy, so as we might live with Peace, Love, and Liberty; or is it so men might gild their pockets with fool ' s gold? Possibly our nation will aid us in preventing such happenings, or a possible future calamity on a scarlet-stained battlefield: By letting belligerent nations accept our products at their own risk. By increasing close international relationships. And by teaching vouth the true realities of war and not its hypocritical romance. Then, too, our nation must be educated to the fact that it should not empty its coffers to replenish war materials, when from the slums to the dust bowl people suffer the agonies of pain for the want of food, for the want of jobs to secure a home and not a miserable shack, wherein children ' s ideals for a wanted education are shattered. Oh nation, let us not look to foreign shores when millions of starving, neglected, un- fortunate American citizens are at our doors. Let us apply our thoughts and knowledge to the betterment of them. Yet, to do so we must have peace, and peace is only possible when world public opinion can be intelligently and actively mobilized against war and for glory ' s sake. Yet, glory is not barren fields strewn with man ' s dead corpse but waving fields of golden grain; not factories of munitions but factories producing a flow of goods to meet the necessities of mankind. Oh nation, let us progress through the aid of peace to a safe and sane future of glory; a glory of sincere, mature thought that will give to the American people a free flow of neces- sary goods and services into all hands of society; a future that will give to the American people a safe and rich democracy— a democracy that will preserve and advance our sacred American rights of Life, of Liberty, and of Happiness. Thereby carrying Old Glory into previously sterile frontiers that will ultimately reach a crowning climax, a climax of price- less glory, a climax of Peace on earth, good will toward men. 110 r s y ESSAY T O M M Y Marcia Kelley Alpha Literary Society Our introduction to young Tommy was somehow prophetic of the rest of his hectic, ad- venturous life. It was in the midst of a hot summer morning, while thoroughly cleaning the basement, that a ruthless stream of water rushing forth from the garden hose discovered a tiny, black handful of fur and aroused from it forlorn wails of kittenish fright and bewilderment. Imagine our surprise and delight at our first sight of Tommy. Trembling upon unsteady legs but maintaining a tottering dignity, he turned an ugly, terrified face toward us, made even more pathetic and appealing bv his tight unseeing eyes. Then and there tiny Tom made his advent into the most important position in our already large cat household. Investigation revealed that he had fallen some eight feet, from the top of our coal-bin to the hard cement floor below, probably while satisfying an early and always prevalent curiosity as to the outside world. With this rather cruel initiation. Tommy entered with undaunted vigor into the serious business of living. Although always smaller and without a doubt less attractive than his twin brother, Algie, whose sturdy body and golden coat always excites comments, it was Tommy whose round eyes and four white feet immediately captured our hearts. The first few weeks of life revealed in Tommy several traits which even now contribute to his appealing personality. His most outstanding characteristic is an almost appalling lack of dignity. An old wicker chair was, and to a large extent still is, his own special haven. His small, sharp claws scraping ruthlessly, he scrambles up one side and down another, ears back and tail high, stopping now and then to peer about cautiously before resuming his wild, spectacular play. Poor Tom was cheated out of the most p leasant and carefree period in the life of any cat— kittenhood. When scarcely one month old, he contracted the mange. This bugaboo of all animal diseases is difficult to endure but more difficult to cure because of its obstinate, tenacious nature. Day after day we treated him. Every evening the three of us doctored a miserable, unhappy feline, trying every possible cure, but to no avail. He dragged about in pathetic, unrelieved misery. His once shiny coat was now thin and slick, his proud tail ridiculously scrawny and his shining eyes dull and lifeless. Overnight Tom had become a mature, suffering animal who believed himself an abused, misunderstood inhabitant of a thoroughly undesirable world. Unsuccessful in every attempt, we at last decided to relieve Tommy of his vain struggle for regained health. Placing him and a chloroform-soaked cloth together in the basement beneath a tub, we went away consoling ourselves with the kindness of the action. That afternoon we dug a tiny grave in the back yard and went to carry, for the last time, the poor, stiff remains of that which had been Tommy. Gently we lifted up the tub and quietly leaned over to pick him up when the little, black body gave a sudden, tremendous shudder and he stood up, a trifle sleepy-eyed, and startled us with a plaintive (Meow! Somehow it seemed as if fate had inter- vened. We no longer had the heart to do away with him and he proceeded with rapidly return- ing vigor on the second of his nine lives. It may be purely psychological, but the chloroform treatment seemed to us to have stimulated Tommy into health once more. At any rate, he now has a thick, healthy coat which belies any tales of former ill-health. Ill r vS Oi Restored once more to the height of his wiry strength, Tommy began to form numerous characteristic habits which, more often than not, were embarrassing in their very nature and inconvenience. He has a felinish love for climbing and still frequently perches on the roof of some unfortunate neighbor ' s home for long hours at a time. Always these dizzy explorations to the heights involve a great deal of useless coaxing, threatening and disgust on our part and wild, breath-taking moments, with eventually frightened, miserable wailing on the part of Tom as finally he is lifted to safety. Then, too, there are frequent expeditions— not so often of late— to a neighboring fish pond where he has been known to relieve the pond of its finest and fanciest gold fish. We are no longer surprised or shocked to see Tommy come proudly home, bearing a long, shiny, hapless fish in cruelly clamped teeth. Punishment in many forms has proved unsuccessful. When the fishing mood claims him, the best we can possibly do is to present our suffering neighbor with a brand- new fish or two and our sincere, heartfelt apologies. Not all his habits are undesirable, however, for Tommy is endowed with a healthy appetite which plays havoc with even the lowliest type of meal. He loves his own yard, seldom wanders far away and is never lost. Despite the fact that his mother was a wild, undisciplined Persian, Tommy has always been an exceptionally affectionate kitten. Strangers in the house are im- mediately welcomed by his contented purring and friendly tongue caressing hands and cheek or sharp claws tugging gently at trouser leg or coat sleeve. Generosity, also, is an outstanding virtue in his nature. Unlike many male cats, he and his brother Algie eat and play together with remarkably smooth harmony. There are good-natured rough and tumble fights on the kitchen floor, rousing races up and down the basement stairs and refreshing naps together in the warmth of the spring sun. Sometimes, in more friendly, affectionate moments, Tommy even attempts to wash the mild, contented and usually dirty face of his rather passive brother. On one warm summer evening, young Tom appeared at the front door where by means of his sharp, little claws he begged to be admitted into the house. He came proudly forth— tail and head high and eves bright with anticipation. .Marching into the center of the room, he deposited on the floor a large, badlv-mangled and nearly dead rat— the evident result of a short, fruitful hunting trip. His bright eyes informed us that the rat was ours— for keeps— as he lay down in a corner to watch our acceptance of his thoughtful but inappropriate token of love. Tommy ' s only enemies are dogs and small boys, who made life a miserable proposition when he was a weak, defenseless kitten. The appearance of a three-year-old neighbor of ours still invariably sends Tommy scampering into a corner or behind a chair where he remains hidden in terror until once more the coast is clear. Tommy will be three years old next month. To say he has outgrown all his naughty, ap- pealing habits would be basely incorrect. He has, to a small extent, gained dignity along with maturity, but his robust pleasure with a toy as kittenish as a Cat-Nip Mouse proves conclu- sively the old philosophy that we are only as old as we feel. 112 n y SHORT STORY PARTY-LINE Carolyn Ekstrum Alpha Literary Society Central rang two shorts and one long. Old Mr. Petterson in the General Store, having finished dusting a row of canned goods, hobbled toward the phone on the wall and took down the receiver. Three other receivers were removed almost simultaneously in three country homes connected on the party-line. A call to the General Store usually meant one of two things: un- expected company had dropped in for a meal and the family larder was low, or someone was wanted, and nine times out of ten could be located at the General Store. Mayville General Store, said .Mr. Petterson. This is Mrs. Myers, returned the voice on the other end of the wire, I called to tell you that you needn ' t send out the seed Mr. Myers ordered. We won ' t be sowing any seed this year. But, .Mrs. Myers, complained the old man, your husband said to hurry it up because he was behind with the spring plantin ' . ' I know, but we ' re leaving the farm Saturday. There ' s to be an auction Thursday. We ' d be glad to have you attend. Good-bye. The old store-keeper heard the receiver click back into place. Thoughtfully he fumbled for a peppermint in his pocket and returned to dusting shelves, muttering to himself, Of all the confounded nonsense. Who ever heard of leavin ' the farm just when the spring plantin ' s goin strong? Mrs. Stout was busy keading bread dough when she heard the phone ring. Mrs. Stout was the country gossip, and never missed the opportunity of listening in on the party-line. This was her chief diversion in life. Dusting the flour from her hands as best she could, she hurried to her accustomed stool by the phone and picked up the receiver. As she listened, a look of surprise came over her face and once she ejaculated, Leaving the farm Saturday! In a flurry of excitement she hung up the receiver and called from the window to her daughter who was feeding the chickens. Sadie, Sadie, come here! You ' ll never guess what. The .Myers are leaving the farm! There ' s to be an auction Thursday. The mortgage has come due and they can ' t meet it. That means everything will have to go. I ' ll get that china closet I ' ve had my eye on so long. By this time Sadie was in the house ready to put in a word of her own. But Mom, are you sure? And after they just bought a new car. Am I sure! I just heard Mrs. Myers tell old man Petterson that they weren ' t even going to plant anything this year. They haven ' t even enough money to wait until fall when they could sell their crops. A look of triumph crossed her face as she continued, I told you they couldn ' t afford that car. They always were trying to show off. I guess they won ' t feel very big when you buy their china closet. Wait till Dad hears the news. Young Mrs. Brennan, a bride of six months, sat paring apples for a pie for dinner, and looking out the window at the brown landscape with its first hint of green. She was thinking how won- derful it would be if John, her husband, could rent the Myers ' farm which adjoined theirs. Her day-dreams were interrupted by the sound of the phone. She stood up and reached for the receiver. Mrs. Brennan wasn ' t a gossip, but the party-line furnished her something to think about in the long interval when John was in the field. Suddenly she pressed the receiver tightly to her ear in an effort to catch every word. Then a smile pulled up the corners of her mouth, and with joy she replaced the receiver and murmured to herself, I must have been born under a luckv star. Wait till John hears this! That evening when she saw John coming, she hurried off down to the road to meet him, calling gavlv, Dear, we ' ve got the Myers ' land. 113 x D Hold on, what ' s this about the Myers ' farm? They want to rent the farm. I heard Mrs. Myers say over the party-line that they canceled their order for seed because they weren ' t going to do any planting. But that doesn ' t mean we get the land, interrupted John. Don ' t be a pessimist. You know Mr. Myers has been sick. I bet he isn ' t going to be able to farm this year, and of course he ' ll want to rent the land. Then we can rent it, you won ' t have to farm anv more, and I won ' t be so lonesome. Leave it to you to fix everything, laughed John, as he kissed her. In the Condon household, Mrs. Condon, a pleasant middle-aged woman, paused at the stove in the process of changing a cold flat-iron for a hot one to remark as she heard the phone ring, I wonder who that could be? Don ' t know, but I ' m going to find out, replied Grandma Condon as she put aside the nine-patch she was making and went to the phone. Shame on you. Grandma, laughed her daughter-in-law. That ' s being nosey. No, it isn ' t. This saves me from having to read the paper, and I get my news first-hand, said Grandma. With her hand over the mouthpiece of the telephone, she told her daughter the news about the Myers moving. Not Myers, Grandma. You must have misunderstood them. No, I didn ' t, replied Grandma as she hung up the receiver. That was Marie callin ' up the General Store, and she said not to send out the seed because they weren ' t doin ' anv plantin ' this spring. I just can ' t imagine Marie awav from the farm. There must be a good reason for their leaving, or she has a surprise in store for me and is intending to tell me later. I know she wouldn ' t suddenly rush off without telling me. (Mrs. Condon and Marie had always been con- fidantes since they had traded the contents of their lunch pails at the little country school.) She ' s just like her mother, reminisced Grandma. Her mother always loved the great expanse of sky and plain. She couldn ' t have been happy without it. I ' m afraid you misunderstood her, Grandma, said Mary, still dubious as she put away the ironing. The next morning while old Mr. Petterson was engaged in a game of checkers, the phone at the General Store rang. Wishing telephones had never been invented, he left his checker- board and shuffled across to the phone. Three other receivers were removed and held to three listening ears. General Store, grumbled the old man. This is Mrs. Myers, and I just want to tell you to please hurry up the order for seed I canceled. We ' re going to be needing it. But, Mrs. Myers, yesterday you said you were leaving Saturday. What ' s going on anyway? The old store-keeper ' s curiosity had got the best of him and he had asked the question that was at that moment paramount in the minds of his three unknown listeners. Well, you see, Mr. Myers had the offer of a good position in the city, so we decided to sell part of our things and move there, but when I started to pack, I just couldn ' t bear the idea of leaving the country, especially in the spring. Neither could Mr. Myers, if the truth were known, so we decided to stay here. I ' m sorry we have caused you much trouble. Oh, it ain ' t no bother at all, Mrs. Myers. Glad you ' re stayin ' with us. Good-dav. The participants in this simple conversation would have been amazed at the varied results it brought. Mrs. Stout, the gossip, said, I ' ll bet their children sent the money to pay the mortgage. Now, I ' ll never get that china closet! Young Mrs. Brcnnan saw her day-dream vanish like a bubble pricked with a pin, and looking for new ones, murmured, Maybe I ' ll get a car and can drive to the field now and then to see John. While in the third farmhouse, Mrs. Condon remarked, I knew Marie had a surprise up her sleeve. 114 r A ALPHA LITERARY SOCIETY Row 1 — Stewart, Sheets, Lewis, Boos, Hughes, Miss Wright, Grant. M.

We are proud to be the only boys ' society to celebrate, along with our school, this eventful twenty-five years of progress. Throughout these years our roster has been the pride of Northeast, our lists of members, past and present, have shown the prominence of our Society in scholarship. This, our 25th year, the Debaters again show the principle upon which this Society- is based, that of high scholastic development. Our programs this year have been spiced with voluntary and panel discussion, debates, and tid-bits of classical literature, and have proved both entertaining and highly educational. To vary the regular curriculum of our Society came the semi-annual outing of the members, and our attendance at the annual Inter-Society Dance. 115 0 v A- r CLIOXIAX Row 1 — Bishop, Roberts, Dexter, Johnson, B., Hurt, Bechtel, Crump, Meyer, Jacks, Largent, Baehr, Roach, Bender Row 2 — Mast.

This society could not have progressed so successfully without the efficient sponsorship of Aliss Mapes. 117 DELPHIAN Row 1 — Dods, Atchison, Sims, Meredith, Miss Shaver, Peden, Shepard, Williams, Dulle Row 2 — Clark, Tawny, Gillespie, Phelps, Cudsworth, Cecil, Rist, Heck, Spencer, Beaumont Row 3 — Annis, Bresee, Hutchison, Kubick, Beagle, Lightfoot, Nezbio, Cook, Contrare, Brandt, Foshe Row 4 — Fox, Armstrong, Ricker, Cavanaugh.

The Delphians are the only mixed society at Northeast, and are proud of the traditions established by the society in 1916, when it was first organized. The society ' s flower is the aster, a symbol of wisdom and courage. The society stresses scholarship, tries to build character and promote friendliness. The social activities consist of two major and two minor events a year. The two major events are the Inter-Society Dance the first semester, and the Lit. Contest the second semester. The minor events this year were a roller skating party and a picnic.

In November, 1937, Northeast ' s youngest and largest club was formed. Its purpose is the promotion of school spirit, pep, and sportsmanship at interscholastic games. The close of the basketball season saw at least a part of that ambition realized. The girls made their first appearance at the Central vs. Northeast game at the Municipal Auditorium clad in neat white sweaters with the letters P-E-P em- blazoned in purple across the fronts; they cheered as a body led by the two club cheer leaders. Each meeting saw new songs and yells demonstrated and old ones practiced by eighty-five peppy, enthusiastic girls, who earnestly are striving, under the industrious and competent lead- ership of Miss Miller, to live up to their mono of Personality, Energy, and Perseverance. The club is looking forward to a busy and fruitful athletic season next year. Go to it, girls!

Their lines of friendliness, loyalty, and fellowship were designed to fit all types and sizes. A wide range of patterned entertainment was also planned. Tone and color were given to their group make-up by such activities as: service work both at home and abroad, the annual Recognition service, the Palm Sunday breakfast at the Y, discussions on the problems of the world of today, the banquet with the Hi-Y, and the Colonial Ball.

This year is no exception. An average attendance of about forty-five has made it possible to create new activities as well as to continue with those which have been of interest in the past. For the first time, the Hi-Y has sponsored a series of vocational meetings and has organized a German Band, while the activities which have proved essential in the past have been repeated this year. They include the Girl Reserves, Faculty, and Mothers ' Banquets, and the series of Pre-Easter meetings. The members of the Hi-Y Club know that, without the continued support of the teachers and members of the community, their organization would not be possible, so they take this opportunity to thank these people for their aid. The gratitude of the members will try to express itself throughout the coming years, so that, when Northeast ' s Golden Jubilee rolls around, they will be able to say, We have helped to make Northeast a great school.

The club was organized in 1927 under the guidance of Miss Murdock, who was the advisor until 1930. Since that time Miss Mary Alice Miller has been the sponsor. The purpose of the organization is to bring its members into closer contact with the life and history of the Roman people.

This year the program has been enlarged to include some astronomy, structural geology, and the study of fossils, as well as mineralogy. Numerous hikes have been taken to study rocks, minerals, and fossils. The membership has been limited to twenty-five so that better opportunity for club work might be available to the individual. The club ' s most important project this year is the construction of a six-inch reflecting, Newtonian type telescope which will be used by the physiography classes and clubs of the future. 124 O St PRINTERS ' CLUB Row 1 — Mast, Russell, Thornton, Hauser, Mr. Kunz, Gardner.

Its purpose is to develop more interest in printing and the relative industries, and to acquaint printing students with one another as well as with people actuaully in the industry. During the year trips to various concerns are made, films are shown, and the printers are entertained by interesting speakers. The annual banquet is the big social event of the year.

The number soon decreased to only six earnest members, who really desired to learn about radio. Some of these now have stations of their own, W9WWZ having the best station at the present time. The membership has steadily grown until now eleven boys are building the first ten- meter fone station to be built at Northeast, and are working on their license exams. They also handle the school ' s PA system for assemblies, mixers, and athletic contests. Mr. Babbit, W9QDQ, has been sponsor of the club since it was chartered. 125 Row 1 — Smallwood, Entsminger, Meredith, Castagno, Williams. Morris. Cobb, Vaughan, Campbell Row 2 — Allen, Licata.

La Sociedad Castellana tiene por objeto la practica oral con la lengua y el aprendizaje de las costumbres, la historia y la literatura de los paises hispanos e hispanoamericanos. Los socios siempre tienen gran entusiasmo en el estudio de la lengua y han adoptado la regla de no hablar mas que el espanol en todas las reuniones pagando una multa de un centavo por cada palabra inglesa. En diciembre se celebra una fiesta con pinata, juegos, musica y discursos y dos veces al ano la Sociedad tiene una partida de campo.

Remember, solemnly warned (Mr. White, fatherly advisor, nothing tried— nothing gained. The above picture is the result of Air. White ' s sage advice. How several four- footers could have slipped in was the subject of bitter debate. Mr. White quickly defended himself. I ' m an innocent man, boys, I swear it! he screamed hoarsely, and was freed. Nevertheless, a few indignant six-footers threatened to bring the matter to court, but Mr. Chapin hastily pacified them. Al Grasselli, club statistician, released this statement, among others, for publication all these six-footers were laid end to end, it ' d sure be a screwy sight, by heck! Grasselli was promptly given thirty lashes on the back for this statement. Club slogan: United we stand, divided we fall— plenty hard, too!

These informal dances held in the gymnasium after school are a deviation frrm the regular routine. Classmates meet one another outside the schoolroom atmosphere. Besides providing entertainment for the students, mixers promote inter-class acquaintanceship. Music is furnished by a nickelodeon with recordings of the most popular dance orchestras. Each year the Mixer Committee is elected from the entire student body by the Student Council. This year ' s competent committeemen are five seniors— Marcile Bachr, Betty Denton, Harwood Craig, Bob Roark, and Ted Cauger, chairman. The advisors are Miss Weaver. Miss Secrest, Miss Gregory, Mr. Sears, and Mr. Fate.

BILL SCRUBY This Viking man is famous for his athletic ability in football and basketball. Everyone knows him; football brains and basketball ability proved to everyone that he ' s a real athlete. His build is 5 feet 10 inches in height, weighs 160 pounds, and has naturally curly hair. Admired by every- one—especially girls, but has little use for them. He wants to be a census taker because this year he found out that he could add. He ' s fun, he ' s willing, he ' s just what we like. PEGGY BENDER A demure, 5 feet 2 inches, eyes of blue, damsel— the prettiest found in Northeast. Has an attraction to boys with quite a bit of athletic ability in football and basketball. She ' s interested in art and has taken many positions in activities of the school. Says she ' d like to work for Don Click, because there might be a future to that. We ' ll pick her as another Lombard— vamping them all. BETTY RUTH LARGENT The title, Little Yi-Queen, who steals hearts, fits her exactly. She not only limits herself to those at school, but even goes for the old grads. The Northeast Ideal also gives you an idea of what she is. Has quite a habit of eating most of the time and is one person who can talk at a rapid rate while she is eating. The one ambition that she has is to black-face herself and sing with Cab Calloway ' s orchestra. If vou boys think you have a chance, You ' ll win if you just learn to dance. JAY CUNDIFF Here only a little while, but what a hit he made with all of us. Bosco came from Peru (Indiana), which is a very large town. He appears to be very quiet, but when you get to know him you ' ll marvel at his wit. About six feet in height and is very hard to please. He picked on our little stealer of hearts and succeeded in a lofty way. He has a sister who will probably preserve this distinction next year. HARRY BARTON President of the Senior Class and Student Council and of other things is what Harry has made for himself while at Northeast. He became one of our star basketball players in a short time, and we ' ll remember him for many years to come for his athletic record. He has a weakness for New Plan II ' s with red hair. Despite the outstanding record he has made, the only thing we see Harry could be in the future is a bell-boy, a draw-back to any hotel. BOB McCARTY We won ' t squeal on him, but we could tell a lot about what he does, especially during fifth and six hours in the staff room with Don Click. Bob was voted Best Boy Student on the Senior Ballot, is one of our Chemists— that kind of a student. One of our midgets— around six feet tall, and tips the scales at 165. He pays little attention to the girls, although he is seen around quite a bit with everyone ' s crowd. JIMMIE DUARDI Rises at 8:25, debates with himself whether to come to school or not, then argues with his mother, who finally coaxes him to come. He cats his br-unch and gets here by 1 1 :30. Usually ditches two of the hours that he ' s here, and if there ' s a mixer after school, he manages to sneak into that— even under the close watch of Miss Weaver and others. Considering the little time that Jimmie spends here, he has become one of our most popular boys. Everyone likes him and he has quite a way with the girls. DON CLICK Quite a contrast to our early riser, Don spends most of his time at school— in the staff room, however, writing poems. He has been active in the R. O. T. C, and is one of our best students. We haven ' t picked a definite profession for him yet, but now let ' s picture him as a deep sea diver— going below to get treasures— but he never finds any because there are always too many mermaids around. 130 the symbol for the transparent beauty of companionship reached by the fifteenth year ■ MINUTE BIOGRAPHIES OF A FEW POPULAR SENIORS BILL SCRUBY This Viking man is famous for his athletic abilir in football and basketball.

CHAFFEE This year, Mr. Frank E. Chaffee, director of vocal music at Northeast, has taught his classes only the best and finest type of music as he has done ever since the school began. MR. CHAFFEE A CAPPELLA CHORUS The A Cappella Chorus of 1938 has probably experienced one of the busiest seasons of all its twenty-five years of school history, declared Mr. Frank E. Chaffee, director of the choir and vocal department. The Choir ' s singing at the Municipal Auditorium for the Musical Convention, the Presi- dent ' s Birthday Ball, at Central Junior High for the Vocal Clinic, the Union Station, and the various churches proves the authenticity of the previous statement. The A Cappella has been influential in promoting more community singing in North- east assemblies, an accomplishment of the past, to the present, for the future. GIRLS ' CHORUS Sixty feminine voices rendering an exquisite melody of sacred or secular nature, proving the old adage, Music hath charms — may we present the Girls ' Chorus? BOYS ' CHORUS When this bubbling band of boys burst forth into a blissful ballad, their blending is beau- tiful to behold. This year, they brought the best of male choruses into bloom, which is the basis of bene- ficial musical studv. SOLO CONTEST The Solo Contest— an annual spring event that all other high schools admire. Contestants endeavor to win prizes for alto, soprano, mezzo soprano, baritone, tenor, and bass. Only the best of music is presented, such as selections of Bach, Schubert, Mozart, and famous operas. Each winner of his section receives a medal as a reward for his efforts. The entire faculty, being the judges, selected Barbara Johnson winner of the sopranos; Virginia Smith for mezzo soprano; Anna Ruth Sharp, alto; Albert Grasselli, baritone; David Ryder, tenor; and the bass, Duane Spencer. I think this solo recital is very beneficial and worthwhile, not only to the pupils who par- ticipate, but to the audience as well, declared Miss Mabelle Glenn, supervisor of music of public schools in Kansas City, and one of the most interested spectators of the contest. 133 A CAPPELLA Row 1 — Marches!, Peterie, Sanford, Dernier, Chaffee, Ely, Pyle, Kanan, Comaschi, Morehead, Entsminger Row 2— Calvert, Burge, Peterson, Stone, Rogers, Rankin, V.

Through his able leadership, the band, with the help of the faculty and the student body, has advanced to the point where it is con- sidered one of the best school bands in the city.

The action takes place in the living room of the Carr residence where family and friends are gathered to witness a wedding ceremony. Suddenly the wedding is thrust into the back- ground when a scheming lady ' s maid and her fiance attempt to rob the house. The sudden appearance and disappearance of stolen articles gave the audience ample cause for riotous laughter.

Oratory is one of the primary exercises necessary in the development of a good speaking voice; therefore, it has been the privilege of Northeast, every year, to present a participant in the American Legion Oratory Contest, who has spoken upon some phase of the U. S. Constitution. This year, the honor was accorded Wade Rubick, who is noted for his ex- ceptional talent and who has won notable awards of merit and distinction. The Dramatic Department also presented the play, A Streamlined Christmas, sent several students— Hubert Semler, Le Roy Mover, and Wilma Phelps— to assist in the American Royal, and participated in the Red Cross campaign, the speakers being Edwin Nance, Price Cordier, and Wallace Hosier. All activities are under the capable supervision and auspices of our Dramatic Instructor, Miss Hobbs. 137 ) n n a, r $ f- y A STREAMLINED CHRISTMAS Row 1 — Rogers. Sylvester. Hobbs. West, Frazier.

We trust that our read- ers will be as pleased as heretofore with this year ' s collection. After twenty-five years ' experience in main- taining this feature, Prof. E. D. Phillips is convinced that he made no mistake in originating this decorative section, based as it HeRTSSBAST PURPLE AHDWHITE M.OTT IHTHEAIR-EI15LEr ' T VICTORY - EVERY il HE -jNorthcasts Dooh-jBatc is upon the intention of not only cultivating the pupils ' love of the beau- tiful, but also the desire of training the pupils to invent beautiful and prac- tical designs for making a living. In this pictorial age there are so many de- mands for such useful work, such as commercial advertisements, illustra- tions for magazines and books, the preparation of photoplays, and the de- signing of murals for public buildings. Too much credit cannot be given to Miss Mabel A. Xewitt, our efficient instructor in art and design, for achieving such excellent results in her depa rtment. 13?

Each spring the faculty headed by Mr. Miller, chairman, elects five juniors and a number of seniors to membership in the Northeast High School Chapter. The president is elected by the members of the society from among those five seniors who had been honored as juniors: the preceding year. The other officers are elected from the entire membership. A small pin bearing the emblem, a flaming torch, is presented to each member at a speciatl assembly. These pins are a monument to the past accomplishment of the bearer and an in- centive for attaining greater heights in the future.

Northeast High School was established in 1913 and its location was given as East Side Abington, Smart to Thompson. The first semester classes were held in Old Central building at Eleventh and Locust. The new building was completed and occupied .May 4, 1914 at a cost of about S625.0O0. School bonds outstanding (1913) were $7,923,000, the an- nual interest being 5314,860. The value of schools was 37,901, in the high schools 5,324. the assessed valuation of the district was 5180,672,820. The 1913-14 enrollment in elementary schools was 37,901, in the high schools 5,324. The 1937-38 school property value was 531,701,445, and the district assessment valu- ation was 5496,324,140. The present school enrollment in elementary schools is 42,985; in the high schools 14,943; all others, 9,430. The members of the Board of Education were Milton Moore, President; Hale H. Cook, Vice-President; J. Scott Harrison, Henry L. McCune, William T. Bland, and William Yolker. E. F. Swinney was Treasurer, James B. Jackson, Secretary; I. I. Cammack, Super- intendent, and J. M. Greenwood, Advisor to the Board. Since the building was occupied, a metal shop and girls ' gymnasium have been added. Also the Charles B. Reynolds Memo- rial Field has been acquired at a cost of about 530,000. There have been 26 members of the Board since Northeast was built, including three women— Mrs. Carolyn F. Fuller, Miss Annette Moore, and Mrs. Frank E. Dorsey. The original Northeast faculty consisted of 19 men and 23 women. Thirty-two are still living, seven of whom are still at Northeast and nine are in other Kansas City schools. The 1938 Noreaster Staff tried very diligently to get a message from each original faculty member, but it has been difficult to do so. Faculty, former students and patrons will read the following brief messages with interest: 153 B1BI r y r Jnwiiak the l le eard ANNIVERSARY GREETINGS FROM ORIGINAL FACULTY It gives me pleasure to have the oppor- tunity of saying through this page of the 1938 year-book, that I spent twelve very happy years as a member of the faculty of the Northeast High School. For Northeast I shall always feel a genuine affection. — Jane Adams (Paseo). I have very fond memories of Northeast High School. To have had some part in lay- ing the foundation of this institution gives me quite a little satisfaction. Greetings to the boys and girls and faculty of the yesterdays and best wishes to those of today. — Spencer B. Apple (1625 Canal St., New Orleans). I am glad of this opportunity to send greetings for 1938 to the faculty and pupils of Northeast High School from my tem- porary abode in Santa Barbara, Calif. My remembrance of Northeast brings thoughts of happy days of teaching there, and also of many friendships with student comrades, whom I still count as friends yet today. George Eliot has said: ' How much good we may do each other by friendly words, and the opportunities for saying them are so much more frequent than for doing friendly deeds! We want people to feel with us more than to act for us. ' Many happy returns of the birthday for Northeast. — Edith Barnett, (Santa Barbara, Calif., Box 805). May the next twenty-five years bring as much success and progress to Northeast as the quarter of a century just completed. — Gertrude Bell (Northeast). Twenty-five years of teaching thousands of loyal Northeast High School pupils is a reward in itself. — Frank E. Chaffee (North- east) . To have served on the Northeast High School faculty for twenty-five years has been productive of more real satisfaction than 1 can say. I have seen the joys and sorrows of boys and girls, the numerous difficulties and tragedies that beset teachers as well. If we were beginning the same period over again, ind if the opportunity were given me, I should choose to confine my activities to this school with even greater zeal. I hope that Northeast is just beginning to launch another era of far greater success than it has so far achieved. — A. T. Chapin (Northeast). As one of the original faculty, it is a pleasure to express, on this twenty-fifth an- niversary, my most sincere greetings to the faculty and student body of the Northeast High School and a special greeting to my old friend, Mr. E. D. Phillips. — Frank Cushman (U. S. Office of Education, Washington). The 14 years of service on the faculty of Northeast High School form a bright spot in my life pattern. They were years under high leadership, and with cooperative and loyal co-workers. My sincere greetings to all, with success and best wishes for another glorious twenty-five years. — J. J. Ellis (Lathrop). I regard my sixteen years as a member of the faculty of Northeast High School the most interesting period of my teaching experience. I remember the days there with pleasure. — Barry Fulton (Lathrop) The most original thing I ever did was when I became a member of the Northeast High School faculty. Greetings and happy remembrances of Northeast. — Elsie Gillham (.Mrs. Peabody, 4328 McGee St., Kansas City) As a member of the original Northeast faculty, and its school mother for 19 years, I send greetings and congratulations on this, its twenty-fifth anniversary. May God continue to bless Northeast High School and its fine faculty. My loyalty and deep devotion al- ways. — Louise M. Harrison (2100 Huntoon St., Topeka, Kansas). Miss Malcolm Huff (address unknown), Northeast ' s first teacher of drawing, served only one year (1913-14). Greetings to my friends at Northeast and my sincere appreciation of a fine school and a fellowship, which has continued through the years, though I am now a member of the faculty at Central High. — Mildred E. Keat- ing (Central). Congratulations to Northeast High School on what might be termed its Silver Jubilee. I remember with pleasure my work at Northeast High School during its first two years and my association with Mr. Chapin and the other seven members of your present staff who were colleagues of mine at that time. — William A. Luby (University of Kansas City) . It is with pleasure that I send greetings, because there will always be a warm spot in my heart for Northeast High School. In these twenty-five years the Viking ship has moved steadily and successfully forward, and although I am not on the deck now, I am always proud to say that once I, too, was there. In 1913, Mr. Nowlin was our genial first mate. My colleagues and I sailed the classical seas with Mr. Chapin and Miss Miller. Annually the beams rang with Mr. Chaffee ' s thrilling contests, many delightful hours we spent with Prof. Phillips at Loch Lomond and Stratford-on-Avon. We enjoyed Mrs. Bell and her fluent Spanish, Miss Stewart and 154 rou k the l ja ears her picturesque, artistic dancers. Miss Rouse and her clever style pageants, and Miss Pack- ard with her astounding problems of ABC. Congratulations I send to all Vikings. — Esther Marshall Cowan (203 W. Armour, K. C.) I was happy to be a member of the original faculty of Northeast High School and have a share in establishing its ideals and standards, and 1 shall always be, as I have been through these twenty-five years, proud of its achieve- ments and jealous of its good name. — Mary Alice Miller (Northeast). Miss Stella Nelson (address unknown). Here ' s to the enterprise and originality of the Noreaster Staff. To me the first nine years at Northeast Senior High, and the first four at Junior, are very dear. In those years the spirit of the schools came into being, for faculty, students, and community with splen- did vision united to make their idea come true. With all good wishes for your continued success, I am, Clifford H. Nowlin, (Princi- pal, East High School). A conservative estimate of the number of students I have had during the last 25 years would be somewhat more than 3,750. To these and the members of the faculties during these years, I send greetings and very best wishes. — Eva L. Packard (Northeast). Mrs. Parks joins me in sending greetings to Northeast. As a member of the original faculty, 1 remember not much of the class routine; however, the pioneer spirit, kindness, co-operation and friendship among the fac- ulty, student body and community have left a ' Silver Lining ' in my memory that could never be forgotten. — Baird Parks (East). Greetings from a quarter of a century ago, and best wishes for another successful quarter-century for Northeast. — Minnie Per- kins (Junior College). I meet graduates from the first ten classes in all parts of Kansas City and have questioned many of them concerning the imprint made upon them by Northeast. Without exception they say that they have forgotten the details of the textbook lessons studied, but they do remember the teachers, their fellow pupils, and life in the growing school. They say that the lasting thing the school did for them was to train them to think. The school is placing even greater emphasis upon this training now than was done in those earlier years. Can a school do a greater service? — Rupert Peters (Ninth and Locust). Professor E. D. Phillips, page 4. From Philadelphia — half-way across the country— I send my heartiest congratulations to Northeast High School, just completing twenty-five years of progressive education. We ho helped with the opening can remem- ber the pleasure and excitement of those first years. It would be even more exciting to visit my former students, most of whom are now full fledged homemakers. My work these days is still along homemaking lines in the Health Education Department with the Phil- adelphia Dairy Council. — Lucy M. Queal, (20th and Race Streets, Philadelphia.) Mr. C. B. Root (address unknown) was in charge of Boys ' Athletics 1913-17. I feel that Northeast ' s enviable record of the past 25 years marks only a very short period in the life of a great school, which will make its fine contribution to our city, state, and nation. — Martha Rouse (Northeast). One of the joys of living is in remember- ing earlier days and friends of long ago. My three-year membership in the Northeast fac- ulty results in many lasting friendships. May your school continue to be the peer of all others. — Elmer E. Rush (Central). The years have passed so quickly since the Northeast High School was originated, that 1 would not be able to realize this passing if I did not have a daughter graduating from high school this year. May each of you live to see Northeast celebrate its 50th year. — Nathalie Sharp (Mrs. Herbert Bevan, 272 Blackhawk Rd., Riverside, Illinois). The every-day task seems hum-drum per- haps, but the feeling of duty honestly done in retrospect is multiple reward. Remembrances, best wishes. — S. S. Snell (Southwest). A quarter of a century! My, how swiftly the years come and go! Many times Mrs. Spitler and I reminisce— live over the happy days with the Northeast faculty and pupils. Congratulations. — J. L. Spitler (Pittsburgh). Miss Nellie Stewart (Northeast) has been in charge of Girls ' Athletics since 1913. Twenty-five years ago Northeast High School was a building; it is now the great educational institution it was to be. The real Northeast High School is made up, in the main, of what remains in the minds of thou- sands of young men and women long after they have forgotten most of the facts they learned at Northeast, the building. Best wish- es for continued growth of Northeast, the school. — James E. Wii.dish (Junior College). Your letter gave me a bit of a shock. It is hard to realize it is 25 years since I first beheld the unfinished building which was Northeast High School. My heartiest con- gratulations on your Silver Jubilee, and my best wishes for the future. — E. Mark Wisdom (2332 Tuxedo, Detroit). 155 Jhwuiah the b le PRINCIPALS: Chas.B.Reynolds ! 1913-21 Principal Emeritus 1921-26 B. M. Stigali. 1921-26 F. H. Barbee 1926-27 A. T.

The path from its inauspicious beginning to its present status as a real cultural influence on the community has been long and varied. It is the aim of the staff and the advisors to give the reader some insight into the workings and developments of Northeast from the beginning. Special acknowledgment must be given to the many advisors and sponsors who have helped us compile our rough data into a comprehensive history. To Mr. Robert E. White, business advisor, goes the credit for gathering and listing the names of all the past and present faculty members and for assembling greetings from most of the orig- inal faculty members now scattered throuugh- out the country. These sections will be espe- cially interesting to former students and alumni. It is our final hope that while we may show Northeast in a different perspective to pres- ent students, renew half forgotten memories in old grads; that uppermost in our minds is the hope that we may instill in future students the feeling of accomplishment and of pride on which they may build a greater school.— The Editor. THE NOREASTER The Noreaster Annual has been published each year since the Northeast High School was organized in 1913. The school published from three to five issues in magazine form for nine years, the last issue of the school year being the so-called Annual. Since 1922, the Noreaster has been issued as an inde- pendent publication. In the early years of the Noreaster, the staff was chosen by popular vote, the student receiving the largest vote becoming the editor-in-chief, and so on. This plan was modified and candidates for staff positions were required to submit written plans for their departments. While this plan was an improvement, it, too, had its weaknesses. For several years now the staff has been selected by the advisors after a very careful consideration of the abilities of the various applicants for positions as revealed in personal interviews. The as revealed in personal interviews. The excel- lent student art work, well-written articles, careful arrangement, and style and quality of binding have appealed to student and teacher alike. The book-plate section is unique in high school annuals. The number of pages has ranged from 160 to 280, and the number of copies from 800 to 1,400. That the Noreaster has been highly regarded is attested by the fact that it received first class rating among .Missouri annuals in 1925, 1926, and 1927. It was also awarded first class rating at the Cen- tral Intcrscholastic Press Association in 1927 and 1928. Kansas City high school year- books have not been entered in these contests for many years. The 1938 Noreaster of more than 180 pages is of special significance. This being the twenty-fifth issue, is called the Silveresta num- ber and 1,100 copies were printed. All de- partments have been enlarged, new features have been added, and the cover is very at- tractive. The Through the Years section will appeal to the old grads, to whom the volume is dedicated, and to teachers, students, and patrons. THE COURIER The official newspaper of the Northeast High School originated in 1913 as a com- bined monthly newspaper and magazine called the Nor ' easter. As the school grew, both a newspaper and an annual were neces- sary. In 1923, Northeast had a Noreaster annual and a weekly newspaper, also called the Nor ' easter. The paper retained this name until 1928, when it was changed to the Northeast Courier. The Missouri Interscholastic Press Associa- tion was established in 1923 at Columbia, A ' lissouri. Each year since 1923, the School of Journalism at A ' lissouri University has held a conference, which any high school in the state may attend, and enter its newspaper for competition. Students representing the staff of the Noreaster and Courier have attended these annual conferences, and have invariably brought back high honors, both in individual and newspaper competitions. In 1924, the paper received second place in the state of Missouri, and in 1925 was rated third. First place was awarded Mary Combs in 1926 for her feature story. In 1927, the Courier won first place in the state, and in 1928, this vic- tory was repeated. The advisor both years was Mrs. McNaughton Seifrit. It placed third in 1929. Mr. G. Sherman Marsh became the in- structor in 1931. The paper placed second in 1932 and third in 1933. In 1933, Dick Alind- lin received a first place award for his news story, and Jack Zerbst a first place award for his editorial. Five honorable mentions were given various Northeast students for their entries in 1934, and the paper itself was given honorable mention. The make-up of the paper was praised in 1935 when the Courier tied for third place. Dick Dexter received third place award for his sports story in 1936, and Alary Wrabec first place in the feature division. Last year ' s competition gave third place to the Courier. Another journalistic society which recog- nizes the merit of high school papers is the Quill and Scroll Journalistic Society, located in the Aledill School of Journalism, North- western University, Evanston, Illinois. In 1937, the Courier received an international first place award from there. 158 n- t Jkwviak the b U i lears BOYS SPORTS A record of achievements in sports at Northeast for the past twenty-five years should be of special interest to students and former students and of general interest to all friends of the school. The success of teams is due largely to the type of material avail- able. The number of great athletes at North- east is legion. If space permitted, the entire roll would be called. Since this is not possi- ble, a few boys representative of their period in athletic history will be presented. The honor of launching the Viking Ship for a successful journey in the field of health, physical education, and sports, was given to C. B. Root in 1913. The success he obtained in establishing high ideals in sports has be- come traditional at Northeast. How import- ant it is that the beginning should have been so thoughtfully planned; so successfully car- ried out. During the Root regime, many victories were won, and great athletes paraded before the footlights, Woodbury, Swearingen, Con- don, Ayres, Coffin, Eppinger, DeBernardi, Warreal and Crenshaw. In 1917 Coach George Regan took up his duties at Northeast. For the next two years, the athletic program moved forward in rhythmic strides. In 1919 Coach James Sexton came to Northeast with a reputation as a great basket- ball coach. His city and state championship teams of 1920 and 1921, probably the greatest even to represent our school, were proof of his ability. Great track and football teams were developed by Coach Sexton. Hewitt, Cross, DeHoney, Darrough, Wheat, Thomp- son, and Surface, played stellar roles in their respective sports to receive prominent recog- nition for all time. In 1922 Coach R. E. Peters came to North- east and is here at the present time. During the past sixteen years the Physical Education program has been enlarged to include a well- rounded intramural program throughout the year: competition with other schools in foot- ball, basketball, track, tennis, golf, swimming, volley ball, and soft ball. Through the success of her track teams at the Kansas and Drake relays and the national meet at Chicago, and her basketball teams at the state and national tournaments. Northeast has gained a national reputation as a school that develops great teams. In the past sixteen years two championship and many other great teams have been developed in football. In basketball her teams have never been below third place and have won six city and three state championships, and one national con- solation championship at Chicago. Her track teams have won nine city and six state championships during this time. They have established four Kansas relay records, four Drake relay records, and four Missouri Val- ley relay records; seven city, eight state, and three world records. All fifteen school rec- ords have been broken. Beginning in the Fall of 1934 Northeast won six consecutive city championships and one state title during a two-year period. This feat has never been accomplished by another Kansas City school. Many great players were developed during this period: Miller, Koonse, Deniston, Tuxon, Olds, Renfro, Bredehoeft, Rozgay, Johnson, Henley, Thomas, Rhodes, Thelan, Uits, Lan- caster, Dye, Masoner, Hawthorne, Juricak, Ice, Denton, Dorsett, Auld, Wilcox, Smith, Brewer, Fitchie, Morris, Shobe, Lattimer, to mention only a few. Mr. M. E. Davis was given the responsi- bility of football in 1929 and coached this sport for seven years, turning out two cham- pionship teams. Mr. E. A. Markey came to Northeast in the fall of 1937 to take charge of football. He is doing a splendid job in the department. Splendid cooperation on the part of her administrators, faculties, and student bodies, has made this great record possible. A splendid tradition has been established and Northeast will always be in the front rank- in all departments. GIRLS SPORTS From a small beginning, the girls ' depart- ment of physical education in Northeast High School has grown to be a large and active factor in the school curriculum. In the early history of the school, enrolling in the depart- ment was optional; consequently only those ivho were physically fit, and who were espe- cially interested in some phase of physical activity, enrolled for gym. During the war, it was learned the Ameri- can youth was woefully lacking in physical fitness, and schools all over the country be- gan to make physical education a required subject. Kansas City was no exception to the rule, and physical education was required for two years in the four-year high school course. It was here that a thorough, systematic course in the fundamentals of physical education was developed. At Northeast, much time through the years has been devoted to dancing and rhythms. During pre-depression years, an annual pag- eant was given by the girls of the depart- ment in the form of an evening entertain- ment in which from two to three hundred girls participated. Later, two hundred or more girls danced at the R. O. T. C. circus held in Convention Hall each spring. Girls have always been interested in ath- letics, and the last ten years, an intramural program has been developed until most of the six hundred girls enrolled in the department are engaged in some form of after-school ac- tivity, starting in the fall with hockey, fol- lowed in succession by giant volley ball, basketball, volley ball, baseball, track, swim- ming, and hiking. The girls first participate in a class tournament, after which an all-star 159 rss Jhwuiah the l le e v ears GIRLS SPORTS— (Continued) group is chosen for the intra-class tourna- ment to determine the championship. Athletic- points are given to the participants which are accumulated toward their letters and other awards. In addition to the active program, we have an elaborate modified program in physical education for girls who are physically unfit for active work. These girls play ping-pong, Chinese checkers, dominos, checkers, and other quiet games. There has never been interscholastic com- petition among the Kansas City high schools for girls as there is for boys, but about two years ago a sports play day, a new program, was inaugurated for girls. The nature of this new venture is not in any way competition, but the girls are to show a thorough knowl- edge of the game, a sportsman-like perfor- mance with particular emphasis on the social side. There are four sport days during the year. A group of girls is chosen from each of the seven high schools, and meet at one school which acts as host, featuring the sport in season. Hockey is first on the list in the fall, followed in succession by basketball, volley ball, and baseball. The forenoon of the festive day is given over to the sport, followed by luncheon and a social hour. An active health program has been added, in which such vital questions as diet, rest, sleep, and general care of the body are dis- cussed. Special emphasis is placed on the care of the teeth— 95 per cent of the girls either visit their own dentist or the school dental clinic. The swimming pool is always a source of interest to the Northeast girls. Here again, the program has grown and expanded. It is not only a place to learn the fundamental strokes in swimming, but to achieve a knowledge of advanced technique such as diving, life sav- ing, swimming and distance. At the close of the year a swimming meet is held. During the years, there have been two in- structors most of the time— Miss Dorothy Trask, who is now Mrs. Jesse W. Boisseau of Dallas, Texas; Miss Beatrice Heibel, who is now Mrs. Patrick Moroney of Casper, Wyoming; Miss Ivy Clayton, who is still teaching physical education in the ward schools of Kansas City; Miss Vera Bland, who has been at Northeast the last eight years, and Miss Nellie Stewart, who has been here since the beginning. The changes through the years have been many, and there are many yet to come, that will add new chapters to the history of physi- cal education, and give a broader scope to its meaning. It will be an increasingly greater in- strument of service not only to the rapidly growing girl, but will be a great impetus to her life of the future, which she is in the process of building. MUSIC Twenty-five years ago, Air. Frank E. Chaf- fee came to Northeast as a music teacher for instrumcntals as well as vocals. The first or- chestra was started with ten members. The first music contest was won in 1914, and every year for the next ten years this record was retained. For many years, the music clubs, namely, the Boys ' Glee Club, and the Treble Clef Club met before and after school, but vocal music is now taught as regular classes re- ceiving non-solid credits. Some very successful musicians of the world today have been trained in the music classes of Mr. Chaffee at Northeast High School, such as Mr. Duncan Stewart, who is the head of the music department at the University of Texas; Mr. Edward Boyington, Superinten- dent of the music department of Oregon University; Mr. Leith Stevens, who arranges the programs at Radio City, New York, and was formerly the accompanist to Schumann- Heink; Mrs. Elsie Frisbee, woman teacher and singer; Margarcte Byrnes, concert singer and church soloist; Mr. Harry Stockwell, who sings the part of Prince Charming in Walt Disney ' s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and many others who are majoring in musx today. ART The original course in art in Northeast High School was divided into two depart- ments, practical arts and free-hand drawing. Craftsmanship in the making of articles for everyday use was stressed in one department; careful technique in the drawing of objects and of plaster casts of historic statues and decoration was the aim of the other depart- ment. The drawing department occupied one room which is now divided into rooms 400 and 401. The practical arts classes worked in rooms facing the court where the drafting classes now work. The department now called the Art De- partment provides work in both practical crafts and drawing, emphasizing originality of composition and design rather than tech- nique. Color and design in relation to every day life are studied as costume -designing, home decoration, stage design, and different forms of advertising art. Appreciation of painting and sculpture, both modern and historic, is stressed, and vis- its to the Nelson Gallery of Art are a part of the general art course offered in three years of study. 160 Jkrou k the l L iyjears INDUSTRIAL ARTS The quarter of a century that has spanned the history of Northeast High School has also witnessed some of the maior changes in the industrial arts field. The content of the courses has not changed so much, but the matter of emphasis has been shifted. From a trend toward vocational training industrial arts is definitely considered as a general educational area; from stress being applied on type of construction, to the de- velopment of the project; from what the boy was doing with tools and materials to what tools and materials are doing to the boy; from teachers selected from the trades to instructors with educational training equal to that of the academic teachers. When the Northeast High School was built, the study hall No. 105 was known as the joinery shop. The present woodwork room was filled with lathes and an extended course in wood turning was offered. The R.O.T.C. quarters housed the forge shop. The increased number of students in the high school is not the only reason for change in the industrial arts laboratories, but the shops themselves arc no longer a place for one type of activity, as wood turning, but a variety of crafts which have to do with wood for as a medium of expression. Likewise, the metal shop is not only forge work but nta- chine shop practice, foundry work, sheet metal and welding. Mechanical drawing and drafting has always been a foundation course and will continue to hold its own in the changing scheme of education. The print shop in Northeast is the most recent addition to industrial arts laboratories. Aside from the utilitarian value in publishing the school paper— The Courier and print- ing school supplies, printing offers a liberal education to all those who seriously enter that field. Industrial arts is leading the way to improved teaching, in that it utilizes individual instruc- tion, supervised activity, and has as its moti- vating power the interest of the student. HOMEMAKING Twenty-five years ago the two subjects that would have been classed under this heading were termed cooking and sewing. The sub- ject matter w T as related chiefly to the process- es involved in the selection, preparation and serving of foods; the selection of materials, the construction of garments, the care and repair of garments, and the usual textile studies. Homemaking as it is presented now is much broader in scope than cooking and sewing, additional subject matter having been introduced in order to tie the work up more closely with family life in the home. Students in this department now study and discuss such phases of home living as family relationships, civic responsibility of the fam- ily, personal and family budgeting, hospitality in the home, development of character and personality, and worthy use of leisure time. Other subjects which claim attention are health as affected by clothing and diet, home care of the sick, house planning, and selection of house furnishings. During the first year the two departments combine classes for two weeks of practical demonstrations and discussions in child care and development, and the training of young children. In recent years, a number of boys have be- come interested members of the foods class- es, and next semester in order to give boys an opportunity for study of better individ- ual and home living, a special course will be offered them. Interesting features of the department have included dress reviews, teas for parents and faculty members, and dinners for Parent- Teacher Association officers. Twelve teachers have rendered service in the advancement of the home making de- partment of Northeast. .Miss Augusta Gufler of the foods depart- ment is the sixth in the line of succession in that department. Miss Irma Ray and Miss Lucy Queal were of the original faculty. Miss Florence Ramlack, Miss Anna Baskin, and Miss Alice Wulfekammer followed in succes- sion. Aliss Martha Rouse of the clothing depart- ment is one of the original faculty. Miss Phleta Gherring joined last year. Miss Mil- dred Keating of the original faculty was with the department fifteen years. Miss Estelle Durboraw, Mrs. Harriet Henderson and Aliss Ann Roach served shorter periods. 161 Jhwviah the l U f ear6 SPANISH Spanish has been taught in Northeast High School since the first year of its existence, beginning with four classes only and in- creasing with the enrollment of the school to thirteen classes. After the organization of the Northeast Junior High School the number of classes decreased for a while until the Junior College was established. At present there are two Junior College classes and five high school classes in Spanish. In three years $585 in cash prizes was won by Spanish students of Northeast in a nation- wide Spanish essay contest, $250 of which was the first national prize won by Pearl Pound, ' 25. Northeast also was first for four con- secutive years in the Missouri University In- terscholastic Contest, taking seven Gold Medals, seven Silver Medals, six Bronze Med- als, two Honorable Mention, and four tro- phies for conversation, oral and written ex- aminations in competition with representatives of other high schools throughout the state. Many former students of Northeast are now holding responsible positions, several are teaching Spanish, some are employed in commercial houses where their knowledge of Spanish is useful, and some have become interpreters in foreign lands. GERMAN The German Department in Northeast High School offered four years of German up until 1918. A late as the year 1916-17, there were seven classes in this language. Because of con- ditions rising out of the World War, German was completely dropped in 1918 and was not offered again until 1931, when one class was organized in the Junior College. In 1932, a Beginning German Class was started in high school. From 1932 on, the department has been growing, but as yet only two years of the language are offered. When language contests were being held at the University of Missouri in the years follow- ing 1925, there were no German classes from which to select contestants. One pupil, how- ever, Josephine Grasselli, who was graduated last spring from the University of Missouri, had the honor of being granted a scholarship for study for the summer of 1937 at the Uni- versity of Heidelberg. Josephine ' s going to Germany typifies one of the great aims of the German Department: namely, the inculcation into the students ' minds an attitude of broad-mindedness toward and better understanding of peoples of other lands. Grammar, to be sure, has its place along with ability to read, but unless the student gets something more than grammar and reading, he has lost many of the larger values of a foreign language. FRENCH The French Department was established at Northeast High School in 1913, the first year of its existence. Four years in that language was offered until 1930, when the Junior Col- lege was introduced. Since that time only three years of French has been given in the High School Department. From the very beginning. Northeast has had a strong French Department. In 1926 this de- partment won the first trophy for academic superiority, a loving cup offered in a contest by the University of Missouri to the high school or junior colleges ranking highest in the state. This victory was repeated in 1927 and 1928, adding two more loving cups to the credit of the French Department. Four gold, three silver, and one bronze medals were won in these three state meets. In 1930, in addition to the high school courses, four semesters of college work has widened the scope of the French Department considerably, since the courses in the Junior College are more advanced and compre- hensive than those in the high school. How- ever, after 1938 the Junior College will be discontinued and four years of French will again be offered in the Northeast High School. DRAMATICS The Dramatic Department can truthfully state that it has witnessed a quarter century of triumph and development at Northeast. Oratorical and declamatory contests; study and presentation of classical and popular plays; literary analysis, interpretation and presentation of dramatic readings and poems constituted the work. The work of the depart- ment contributes materially to the student ' s enjoyment. In the Dramatic Department two full even- ing plays have been presented each year, the proceeds of which have gone to the school fund. Among the full evening plays are: The Cricket on the Hearth, The Servant in the House, The Passing of the Third Floor Back, Seven Keys to Baldpate, The Witching Hour, Seventeen, Antigone, Clarence, Nothing But the Truth, Come Out of the Kitchen, Apple Sauce, The Patsy, Heart Trouble, Mice and Men, As You Like It, Green Stockings, Grow- ing Pains, Stop Thief. Among the one-act plays are: The Hour Glass, The Trysting Place, Six Who Pass While the Lentils Boil, The Romancers and Three Pills in a Bottle. 162 Jkrouak the 1 U [ JeaM Reserve Officers ' Training Corps During the World War, when trained men were badly needed, a Captain Steever con- ceived the idea of organizing the present mili- tary system in the high schools of today. At first a small unit in the schools, called the H. S. V. U. S., which means High School Vol- unteers of the United States, it grew into the much more satisfactory High School R. O. T. C. At the time of its organization in 1916, Northeast was represented in the Eleventh Regiment of Kansas City by two small com- panies, which were the E and F companies of the regiment. There were only four high schools in Kansas City at that time, and all had military cadets. The schools were North- east, Lathrop, Westport, and Central. The first instructor at Northeast at the head of the H. S. V. U. S. was a Sergeant Shierloh, who was called the drill master. A Captain Baird, who was also in charge of Northeast boys, was the commanding officer of all cadets in Kansas City. Another instructor was Lieutenant C. B. Root, a physical training teacher at Northeast. The man who was responsible for the early growth of the R. O. T. C. in Northeast, how- ever, is Captain Barry Fulton. .Mr. Fulton was a drafting instructor here, at the time the H. S. V. U. S. was organized. As he had had previous military training, he was selected to take charge of the Northeast unit when the other instructor was called for service. Captain Fulton was put in charge of the Northeast companies at the request of Cap- tain Baird, who retired. While at Northeast Captain Fulton helped the school military sys- tem to advance to a higher standard. He en- tered Northeast in the field meet and the R. O. T. C. circus which were then held at Central High School. This was the first time for these two now annual affairs. COMMERCE The Commerce Department was one of the original departments of the school when the school was opened twenty-five years ago. The faculty of the department at that time set up certain aims and objectives which showed their foresight, for these aims and objectives are still a part of the curriculum today. The late .Mrs. Sabra Cunningham saw an opportunity to coordinate her work in the education of young people with the demands of business men. Those aims and hopes are still adhered to. The basic curriculum is still the same as it was at the time of the opening of the school. The courses have been added to in the matter of training, new courses have been added to the curriculum, and as business demanded it. machinery has been installed. At the present time, we have a full two years ' course in Shorthand, Typewriting, Bookkeeping, also thorough courses in filing, business organiza- tion, law, economics, office training, con- sumer education, business math, and office machines. The machinery taught is perhaps the most progressive addition to our curricu- lum in the past few years. We have calcul- ators—both Burroughs and Monroe— book- keeping machines— Elliott-Fisher and Bur- roughs, Sundstrand adding, Ediphone and Dic- taphone voice-writing, dictating and shaving machines, also the mimeograph and gelatine duplicators. We know we have the equipment to train youth to meet the demands of business, and also, the competition of other schools who are training boys and girls for business.

The inaugurator of the Experiment was Mr. George Melcher, Super- intendent of Kansas City Schools; and the immediate director was, and is, Mr. A. T. Chapin, Principal of Northeast High School. Mr. Chapin is assisted by Mr. G. Y. Davis, Vice-Principal of Northeast, and a carefully selected staff. During the eight years of its existence, the Northeast Experiment has attracted wide- spread interest among educators. It has under- gone searchin g investigation, and received helpful criticism and heartening encourage- ment. The original committee of the North Cen- tral Association to report on the progress of the Experiment consisted of: Dr. C. H. Judd, Dean of the School of Education, the University of Chicago. Dr. L. V. Koos, Professor of Secondary Education, the University of Chicago. Dr. George Zook, President of Akron Uni- versity. Dr. Thomas F.. Benner, Dean of the School of Education, the University of Illinois, re- placed Dr. Zook when the latter was made United States Commissioner of Education in 1933. Briefly, the Northeast re -organization com- bined the last two years in high school work with the first two in college in a new three- year course. It prepares students to enter the third, or junior year of senior college, and it offers certain terminal courses on junior col- lege level to those who do not expect to ca rry their formal education further. Eight classes have graduated. The Northeast Junior College inaugurated, in September, 1932, a Business Department to take care of those students who desire both junior college studies and direct preparation for secretarial and commercial work. The re- sults have been very gratifying; and the grad- uates have found, for the most part, excellent positions in the business world. In the eight years of experience of the Northeast Experiment, there is a growing body of material which indicates that gradu- ates of Northeast Junior College can compete on equal, or better, terms, in senior college and in life, with graduates of other systems who have done in four years what the Northeast students have accomplished in three years.
