There were one hundred and sixty students present but the attendance was cut down because many of the would-be hoofers were also on the football team and could not break training. The Red Cross drive was carried on from November 21 to November 23. ln those three days the school children of Kansas City were .asked to raise ten thousand dol- lars. This year there was no- advertising of one-hundred percent rooms or compari- son of contributions. The pupils were ask- ed to give for the cause, not to boost the room average. On December 9, the first assembly play was given by the expression classes. The theme of the one-act comedy dealt with VVomen suffrage in the 80's. The Mouse Trap was presented by two casts, one in each assembly, so that more students were able to display their ability on the stage.

MR. I. ROY SMITH MR. ROBERT MEHORNAY MR. A. O. THOMPSON The tile picture, which is the gift of the Senior Class of 1932, was installed during the Christmas holidays. Its title is The Santa Fe Trail. The subject deals with the biggest single factor in the development of Kansas City. The picture will complement the other tile picture which was presented by the class of 1931. Tuesday evening, October 25, was set aside as the date for Paseols annual open house. After the parents had visited the classrooms, a program was given in the audi- torium. An address was made by James W. Fifield, D.D., ex-pastor of the First Congre- gational Church, and noted lecturer on edu- cational and religious subjects. Music was furnished by the Choral Club and Band. An unexpected feature was the failure of the lights to function. . The student council accepted the plans submitted by the Property committee where- by the City Council was petitioned to pave the one block on Flora Avenue from Hous- ton to Swope Parkway. The paving came as a Christmas present to Paseo students. One of the new clubs formed here this year was a science club under the direction of Mr. Owen Lovejoy. It has been named the Muir Club. Education week, November 7-13, was ob- served. 1t is a nation-wide movement to un- derstand the purposes, achievements, and needs of schools. This was the twelfth an- nual American Education Wleek, and was of special importance because of the economy measures that were necessary on account of financial difficulties. One of the chief ways of observing it was through Open House which was held about two weeks pri- or. Other ways of celebrating were school programs by students and community gath- erings by citizens. Many Parent-Teacher Associations were also planning activities. The Student Council sponsored a free lecture by Dr. Richard Sutton, a noted hunter and explorer, on December 2. He was secured through Miss Mabelle Miller, a close friend of the family. Because of inadequate seating capacity only those with tickets were admitted to the auditorium. Members of the Student Council took charge of the printing and distribution of the tickets and ushering the night of the lec- ture. The sale for this book which you are nc-w reading was begun last November 14. It was the first time in the history of the Paseon that it could be bought for less-than a dollar at any time. The campaign was conducted almost entirely through the Paseon office, instead of through the home rooms as in former years. A student vvish- ing to buy an annual signed two cards, one of which was kept in the Paseon office and the other he kept himself or it was left in his home room. MR. GEORGE TINKER -6-

PASEO'S NEW' PAVING Enrollment for the second term began on December 5. Each student desiring to make a change turned in a list of the changes de- sired, together with his program for this semester. This was done at this date so that the office force would have time to ar- range the next semesterls schedule of classes and make new program cards. VVith the double assemblies held Novem- ber 23, Paseo ended its celebration of the Wasliington Bicentennial which began over a year ago. Talks were given by Dan Kelli- her, Jimmy Hazlett, and Pat Hillias. Patri- otic selections were sung by the music de- partment. Mr. Stigall gave a Thanksgiving talk at the Q Jening of the assembly. T hc? orches ra under the direction of Louis L Hansen and Bob Harris played the first in- tersociety mixer of the year. It was held in the boys' gym after sixth hour on Decem- ber 2. This intersociety mixer was sponsor- ed by the chartered clubs. The boys of the football squad were invited as guests of honor but because of the basketball practice many of them could not attend. The Student Council voted to buy and decorate a Christmas tree for the foyer in the front hall, following the annual custom of Paseo. As in former years the tree was financed by a one cent contribution from each student that was collected by the rep- resentatives. Miss Mabelle Miller was the faculty member in charge of the decorations. Jimmy Hazlett, president of the Council, ap- pointed different members of the Council to buy and decorate it. The fall play under the direction of Miss Anna McCoy Francis was presented the night of December 16. Phillipa Gets There concerned the adventures of one Phil Carter, a young actor, who was in love with Dora Brandon, daughter of Ira Brandon, a mil- lionaire art collector. The first order for senior rings and pins was taken January 18. An interesting fact was that the girls bought more rings than the boys and that few people ordered pins. The pins and rings were ordered from the Green Jewelry Company. The second assembly play by the expres- sion classes was given February 10. The play was entitled Back to Your Knitting. There were two casts.
