CSpecial to the Raytown nigh school janitorl. This community was impressed early this morning when the report spread through the high school section telling of the departure of the senior class from high school. Tlhe class had taken a prominent part in high school activities during the past term. It we be- loved by all the students, especially its own members. The faculty has .expressed B, deep regret that the class has gone from the high school realm. The Juniors seem to be holding up remarkably well under the shock. A When interviewed by a reporter for the Raytown News, Principal Warehime had this to say concerning the departed class, It was a class worthy of noteg but at times showed signs of have a stroke because of its over-estimation of its ability. The class sponsor, Mr. Oetting, said with tears in his eyes, I never had a class like it. The lclass meetings were beyond description. The class will be missed. A coroner's inquest indicated that the class had passed out from a peculiar disease. Dr. Eubank in commenting upon the malady said, Brain magnitudinous is a strange disease that educators have been able to do little about. It generally affects students in the fourth year of high school about graduation time. About the only known cure has been to administer strong doses of diplomas. In many cases the afflicted class members .recover and live happy normal lives forever after. Banker Smith who had transacted the class financial affairs during the four years the seniors were in high school has stated that the class left a will. A reading of the will has been called for May 19. As information comes by the grape-vine route we may safely say that on the date the Raytown News will publish the terms of the will., in which various institutions and individuals are prominently mentioned as those to receive rich legacies. A reporter for the paper announces that the will may convey the following information: After giving the usual heading stating that the class is in its right mindf some- thing that was never known to existl and that it was about to regretfully leave the high school, the class makes the following terms and clauses for the will: 1-We direct that all our just debts, if we have any, be first paid out of the treas- ury of the junior class. 2--We direct that a suitable class gift bepurchased and be presented to our alma mater, not because we loved our alma lessg but because she loved us more. 3-All of the athletic honors that ,have come to our class through the ability of seniors we leave to the freshmen. In making this bequest we are not unmindful of the juniors, but believe they can take care of themselves out of the training that We have given them, in advance. ' 4-All of our text-books we leave to the faculty members. During the summer months they may need to study them, since we never had any use for them anyway. 5-Our voices which we always used in whispers we leave to the sophomores, modest pupils that they are. 6-To the juniors we leave all of our good looks, all of our mental ability, all of our vanity, and all of our goodness Cgoodness knows with their reputation they will need them alll. 7-Our seats in assembly we leave to the incoming Freshmen. We do this well knowing that if we do not some lusty sophomore will attempt to sell tickets for seats in assembly to some inexperienced Freshman, who may not be as green as he looks. 8-We admonish the students of the high school to be model pupils even as we have been. If ft ' ' ' a er a period of ten years the executor of this will deems them worthy of the bequest we will give to each a stick of bubble gum. 4 The 'will is dated May 18, 1939, and is attested to by James Blank, chief of the auditor for the sheepskin or n' t' ' ' of rockdrillers. J. L. Robinson is named as executor. ga iza ion, and Henry Domuch, of the- Unwilling workers - 1939i his igh ass be- B to his red vor, 185 LSE. lge nts 1re ass ars ahe lay in ive rn: xe- .gh 15- 113. of of we 181' est of rill ell its we by he ers Lf I I I 1 I CLR 5 P UPHECV Here we are folks.

News Release: A message from Saturn just received indicates that Herman, Hinkley, Grant, Milles, who made up an expedition starting from the Raytown high school, has just arrived. They have found that the moon is inhabited, and that the air extends higher than previous flights have shown.

' I The handicap sea-diving races will start promptly at noon today. The new diving helmet which has been invented by Schoonover is being worn by Bob Davis today and will be given a thorough tryout. If the helmet fails to work, then that will be the end of Davis.

These new offices to be created will be occupied by Bob Heady, manufacturer of the world's blackest shoe blackening. ' I Ila Millard studios report that a new star has been cast in the roll of Hamlet in a revival of the play which made Shakespeare famous. Ed Tenny will play the part of Hamlet. ' At Miami, Florida, today the races will get under way at two o'clock. A favorite in the race is the horse, Fleabiscuit, and will be ridden by the jockey, James Messmer. Messmer got his first experience with the horses riding a pony through Latin class. A new and precious metal has been discovered in the Rex laboratories. It has been said that this metal is so precious that in comparison with diamonds the diamonds will appear as but paste. The world must be fed. There is no better food than fruit.

Tl . Tl., me A sv S If--vw 0RlIT0lW Oration this year, at Raytown was only a preliminary to what we hope to be win- ning orators next year. Last year there was Carl Kenagy-next year it mary be one of several who participated. f I, Many students who had never before been interested prepared speeches on the usual American Legion topic, The Constitution. This organization sponsors each year an or- atorical contest, and, each year, the topic is some phase of the Cdnstitution. The con- test covers the United States by section. B. Bauer, P. Blue, R. Bosse, R. Heady, M. MlcCa.ry, D. Rex, A. Brandt and R. Robbins participated in the elimination contest held here at the high schoolg M. McCary, Rich- ard Bosse and Bob Bauer were adjudged the best speakers from English V and Ray Robbins and Alfred Brandt from the rest of the school. Margaret McCa.ry represented Raytown at Independence in the Jackson County con- test, but was defeated for first place by William Chrisman entry. However, it was re- marked by all Who heard her that she had done remarkably Welle. Her subject was A Document of Men . The winner here went to the district contest in Kansas City. The zone was at Excelsior Springs and later the state contest at Columbia. Next year, if the interest of the same students continues, We will perhaps go farther for the art of oratory is an old art not acquined-but the result of hard Work and intell- igent response to the subject. .- .. ... .. -1939---1---' lm- B - - -- Ill TRIIETI IITHLS L 5, DSEEFIBLES Aside from the glee clubs, and mixed chorus, the music department has many in- strumental ensembles and instrumental solos which have been entered in the different music festivals in which Raytown has taken active part this year.

P1 BHSEBHLL The 1939 baseball prospects were rather dim at the close of the 1938 season, be- cause of the loss of so many regulars due to graduation. Coach Cooper had to build a whole new infield, with the exception of short stop. The returning letter winners were Fred Schwab, short stop, Herman Basler, center fieldg Elmo Carpenter, right field, Bob Bauer who lettered two years ago, but did not letter last year was also available for the infield. With these players as the nucleus Coach Cooper put a team on the diamond that registered three straight wins, before being stopped by De La Salle Academy. The new players were: Harry Grigsby, catcherg Billy Winters, pitcherg Delbert Corrigan, first baseg Lee Dean Frost, second baseg John Pfieffer, third baseg Cecil Shelton, left fieldg Billy Bob Hinrichs, pitcher, and Robert I-Ieady, second base also saw considerable action. The team had a rather tight defense but inability to bring the baserunners' around and the wildness of the pitchers were the weak points of the team. As most of the newcomers are freshmen and sophomores the prospects for the next two years look rather bright for baseball at Raytown High. l'l9391e -1 .-f-- .,.g a,-,,...,---r---f-f-'---- ,, . .v , ,.,, ..-.1 .-.-.-.-.--- M .,. um, ,--ETA., 15.5-f ......

The team has a number of experienced players returning for next season. The Jays resplendent .in new red, white and blue jersies, started off the season by winning their first two games by sco-res of 27 and 20 to O respectively. But this proved to be all the scoring for the season, as they were held to a scoreless tie in the next game and proceeded to drop the next five games by shut-outs. The locals showed real punch in their first two games, although they were weaker opponents of the season. The team seemed to click in mid.-field, but when they got into scoring territory, they lacked the final punch. A passing attack seemed to be their greatest weakness. In the last game of the season, however, they seemed to find their passing finesse, but too late in the game to make a difference in the result of the game with Lees Summit Tigers, Little Six Champions for the seco-nd consecutive year. Letters were awarded to: Richard Bosse, John Pfieifer, Bob Stokes, James Grant, Harold Stillwell, Roy Anderson, Emery Newland, George Colton, George Howard, Bill Howard, Dean Lindsay, Bill Davis, Bob Corder, Bill Hinrichs, Bill Winters, Lee Hart- Eelder, Cecil Shelton, Herbert Wittmeyer, Ralph Dehoney, Stanley Otto and Edward Tenny.

Despite the fact that the Blue Jays suffered the loss. of a, regular guard after only one game had been played, they enjoyed a good season. When Olin Davenport suiiered a fractured leg in practice the day before the opening of the home season, the team was badly demoralized and they gave at disappointing exhibition to their followers the next night. But Coach Clyde C. Cooper found a combination by the following week that proceeded to win games a little more consistently than it lost themg winning thir- teen while dropping ten. ' Herbert Wittmeyer, honorary captain of the locals, was chosen on the All-Star squad of ten players. Robert Bauer and Fred Houser were given honorable mention. Leading scorers for Raytown were Houser, with 38 field goals and 31 free throws for a total of 109 points3 Bowman with 41 field goals and 17 free throws for a total of 99 points and Bauer with 42 goals and 4 free throws for 88 points.

The team won in all of them. Two players, Frances Dunn, forward and Claire Cassell, guard, were chosen for the Little Six All-Star team. The team did remarkably well in spite of the fact that they were handicapped by an epidemic of the mumps. During almost the whole season at least one of the players at a time was out with this disease. 'The girls entered three tournaments this yearg the Ruskin, Pleasant Hill and Lees Summit tourneys. In the Ruskin tournament Claire Cassell was chosen for the All-Star team. The next tourney was at Pleasant Hill. Here they were eliminated in the semi- finals by Lees Summit to a score of 26 to 32. The most important tournament of the season to the girls was held at Lees Summit. They lost their first game to Pleasant Hill by only two points, 26 to 28. In their second game they defeated Lees Summit 24 to- 18. They then brought the tournament to a successful close by defeating Bates City for Consolation. The team member chosen for the All-Star at this tournament was Frances Dunn. Twelve letters were awarded this yearg the letter winners being Anna Allen, Virginia Collings, Frances Dunn, Marguerite Stilley, Wilma Vance, Mary Lois Vance, Claire Cassell, Mary Helen Sullivan, Pauline Blue, Pauline Kupfer, Lily Lewis and Mary Schwab. Claire Cassell was elected captain for the season. All of the letter winners except the captain will be back next year.

All of these players are two year letters winners except Dorothy Rex and George Bill Dagg. 'The first match of the season was played at Pleasant Hill. John Cox and Bob Kraus won the boys' doubles 6-1, 6-25 Bob Bauer was defeated in the boys' singlesg Rosalie Thompson was victorious in the girls singles by defeating her opponent 6-23 Dorothy and Eva Rex were defeated by a close score of 6-5. The second match was with De La Salle. Bob Kraus and George Bill Dagg each played in the singles and Bob Kraus and John Cox played in the doubles. De La Salle won all three sets. The third match was played with Pleasant Hill on the home court. Kraas and Dagg won in the boys' doubles 6-lg Bauer defeated his opponent in the boys' singlesg and Rosalie Thompson won her set 6-1. Dorothy and Eva Rex were defeated in the girls' doubles. Raytown will lose only two players by graduationg therefore, next year the team is expected to be better than ever.
