WOLFENBARGER Przhcnval and Wbe-Przhcgnal To the principal and vice-principal of Shawnee-Mission rural high school goes the task of carrying out the rules and regulations estab- lished by the Board of Education, as well as serving as guides for the students who are seeking a higher education. The greatest problem confronting Mr. A. L. Cross, principal, is that of planning smooth schedules of activities and programs. Vice- principal O. K. Wolfenbarger acts as treasurer of the accounts of student activities, has charge of the attendance records, and checks on eligibility for games and school contests. Everything from tuition payments to Fun Day plans is arranged and supervised in the two oiiices under the expert direction of the heads of the school's administration. Many a rough surface in some organization's plans has been smoothed out by these two ever-ready men. Besides solving the many problems arising in a school the size of Shawnee-Mission, Mr. Cross and Mr. Wolfenbarger are always willing to help and advise students in any way they can. The sense of loyalty, cooperation, and friendliness which exists in the school is largely due to the excellent leadership of these two men. Choo! Board and Office Staff Just as the enrollment of the high school increases from year to year, so do the problems of the school board. Conse- quently, a law passed by the state legislature this year pro- vided for two new positions on the Board of Education, making a total of five members. Under this system, the newly-elected members will serve for four years, with the exception of one member who this first time will hold oiiice for only three years. Mr. R. L. Fish and Dr. H. B. Sullivan took their places on the board for the first time this year. Mr. H. H. Livin- good was re-elected for his third term and was chosen treasurer of the board. Mr. R. W. Speer and Mr. W. B. Gresham continue to serve the school and community. Another bill passed by the state legislature concerning Shawnee-Mission provided a method by which the board shall introduce a bond election without the necessity of a petition signed by a majority of the voters.

Bringing the faculty and students closer together in the administration of school ac- tivities is the main purpose of the Student Council, student government organization. The membership includes five persons from each class, chosen by popular Vote of the respective groups. Early last fall Penelope Boxmeyer, James Pilley, and Eileen Swope, accompanied by Miss Emma Lyman, attended the regional Student Council convention at Omaha as Shawnee-Mission delegates. Among the important activities sponsored by this group during the year were the two all-school mixers, one held in October and the other in February, Alumni day, at which time the grads were welcomed back and entertained, Fun day, which came in the springg the pingpong tournamentg and the celebration days which followed the football and basketball championships. Paul Miller acted as chairman of the program committee for the year. This com- mittee was responsible for all assembly programs and lyceums throughout the year. Others on this committee were Marjorie Calhoun, Frank Diggle, Patricia Drake, and James Pilley. Eileen Swope was elected president of the council and presided at all assembly pro- grams. The other onicers were Barbara Sperry, vice-presidentg Penelope Boxmeyer, secre- taryg Barbara Wright, treasurerg and Marjorie Calhoun, corresponding secretary. Notices of the group,s activities were submitted to the state Student Council bulletin. Miss Emma Lyman was faculty sponsor of the Student Council, while Principal A. L. Cross acted as supervisor. 12 The Profesfors P056 1. Cute little tyke, i5n't he? . . .2. W.P.A.? . . . 3. Reducing? . . .4. Merly . . . 5. Busy B Club . . . 6. Wants buy a book? . . . 7.

'QW vs Q Ca gg Peacocks - 2j The peacock is a familiar sight as it 2 V V Q, 1 struts proudly to and fro, inviting ad- X A D j A rniration. Believe it or not, it has been said this proud bird is still very shy. As X X P it ru jles its gorgeous feathers to attract X' attention, this King of the tribe is 1 3 gazed upon with envy and awe by all other birds. Proving that the frcshmen are becoming more quickly oriented to the high school atmosphere, the class of ,41 faded to a mere Chartreuse after the first six weeks of its higher education in the fall of 1937. Donwhitmore was elected president of the papooses. During their sophomore term with Bud MacLean as their executive, they played a major part in the school activitiesg and many were the outstanding achievements ac- complished in their third year of high school during which they again elected Bud MacLean to the presidency of the class. For the first time in the school's history, undisputed possession of both the gridiron and the cage titles of the N. E. K. league were gained. As a result, The Indian scholars were given a welcome vacation from classes for a day. On the evening of April 20, 1940, the juniors were hosts to the seniors at the annual junior-senior prom held at the Meadow Lake Country club. Jane Eyrev was the junior class production. Knee-length knitted hose and l'Sloppy Joe sweaters were introduced by the seniors this year as they repeated history by successfully defending the N. E. K. basketball and football crowns. Proving to be the outstanding programs of the year were the second Indian Cavalcade, with Tom Maupin serving as one of the three students on the original-script committeeg the Thespian play, New Firesf' the operetta, 'lThe Mikadof' and the senior class production, Guess Again, in which Shirley Engel and James Pilley had the leading roles. Occupying the ofiices of the senior class were James Pilley, president, Bud MacLean, vice-presidentg John Maloney, secretaryg and Rosemary Beasley, treasurer. Eileen Swope was president of the Student Council with Marjorie Calhoun, Bud MacLean, James Pilley, and Barbara Sperry as other senior representatives. Two senior girls, Mildred Barner and Marjorie Woodman, served as co-head drum majorettes and led the marching band through intricate patterns to capture a first division rating and eligibility to compete in the national-regional marching contest. Marjorie Woodman and Pauline Laird were awarded the highest class honors of val- edictorian and salutatorian respectively. 16 TOMMY ACKERMAN-Pep Club, IV, Band, I, II, III, IV, Retorts, III, IV, Stamp Club, I, Hi-Y, I, II, Incl.

Larhs l These cocky optirnists of bird life are the heralds of happiness, being active and tireless workers. They generally travel alone, choosing their own paths of flight. Energy marks this whole tribe, so , X well liked by all. As completely at sea as Wrong Way Corrigan was when he made his reverse English flight over the ocean to Ireland, were 276 freshmen who entered the ranks of Shawnee- Mission students in 193 8 to be the largest class yet on record. But they gradually became accustomed to their new environment and were absorbed into the various activities. Celebrating the first double championship of football and basketball in school history and participating in the dance craze of the first all-school mixer, the class of 1942 felt exceptionally proud of its school in its sophomore year. Sophomore oHicers were Paul Miller, Dortha Early, Leroy Gordon, and Harlan Livingood, former president of the freshman class. Paul and Dortha were reelected by their class to serve as president and vice-president respectively of the juniors. Catherine Carlson was elected secretary, and Wilma Davis was chosen treasurer. Mr. J. C. Hawkins was the head faculty sponsor. Flowering into a show of their full talents, the class of '42 furnished athletes, musi- cians, writers, and other leaders for the Shawnee-Mission tribe. Glenn Mitchum, All-Star forward, and Tad Coles, guard, represented them on the first-five basketball team. Lee Neubert and Glenn Mitchum were chosen from eight junior gridmen to be next year's co-captains. The Whole Town's Talkingf, directed by Mr. L. Dale Pigg, was presented as the annual junior production. Leading parts were played by Lois Arden Skinner, Harlan Livingood, Don Newell, Ruth Woodman, Betty Jeanne Smith, and Charles Hann. Six junior journalists were admitted to Quill and Scroll, honorary journalism society, and 10 juniors were elected to the National Honor Society. Four junior gridmen were awarded first team letters. They were Tad Coles, Lee Neubert, Glenn Mitchum, and Don Newell. Junior class student council representatives this year were Penelope Boxmeyer, Catherine Carlson, Neil Helmets, Paul Miller, and Paul Wurtenberger. Winning superior ratings in the east-central Kansas district F. F. A. speech contest, Albert Van Walleghen and Donald Lawrence were members of the Shawnee-Mission speech team that brought the meet's trophy back to our F. F. A. chapter. Active Girl Reserve cabinet members included three juniors Dortha Early, Elizabeth Fosmire, and Kathryn Lou Wolfenbarger. Highlight of the social season was the traditional junior-senior prom, in which the juniors bade a fond farewell to the seniors whose places they will attempt to fill next year. 32 Owen Ackerson Fern Ashner Otis Bisbee Mary Alice Alagna Joan Baldwin Marjorie Boehm James Alexander Carolyn Barker Thanuel Bowden Paul Alleman Betty Jane Beaver William Bowers Audrey Allen Charlene Belinder Penelope Boxmeyer Verda Allred Norma Berglund .

A ll tests 41 .-5 Woodpechers How handsome the woodpeeleer looks in his eos- tunze of black and red! This sporty fellow was once thought a pest, hut expert watchers tell us they are guides to the safe-guarding of our woods. Easily recognized by their sharp, clear tones and noisy ways, the wooelpeekers show a foresight not common to other hints-they prepare for the future. l'You,re nothin' but a nothin'! is the ditty often directed at the sophomores, but the class of '43 has long since buried this refrain under its long list of accomplishments. Getting off to a good start, they elected as freshman class officers Dick Maloney, president, Tom Abbott, vice-presidentg Bonnie Smith, secretary, and Bill Neff, treasurer. As sophomores, they took part in all phases of extra-curricular activities, such as band, orchestra, chorus, F. F. A., the newly-organized debate squad, and athletics in addition to various other clubs and organizations. Bill Moffett and Virginia Cochran were two of the five cheerleaders. I Student Council representatives of the class this year were Alice Ackerman, Virginia Cochran, Pat Drake, Henry Sullivan, and Barbara Wright, who was elected treasurer of the organization. The sophomores elected to the head of their class Barbara Wright, president, Henry Sullivan, vice-president, Lois Robinson, secretaryg and Bill Moffett, treasurer. Championships in basketball and football are becoming a habit with the class of '43 who helped win the two consecutive victories in both football and basketball. Although no sophomore play was given, this class was represented in the casts of ShirtsleeVes, G. R.-Hi-Y play, the Christmas program, the Indian Cavalcade, and the operetta, The Mikado, in which Virginia Cochran, Patricia Drake, and Barbara Wright had leading parts. Many of the sophomores were members of the Shawnee-Mission marching band that attended the national-regional contest held at Topeka. Kelda Whipple, twirling majorette, received a first division, highly superior rating in district competition at Lawrence, and Dorothy Ballew, joan Hise, and Alice Ackerman served as members of the twirling corps. The sophomores finished their second year under the supervision of the new five-man school board. Scholastically, this class of '43 ranked high, 13 students winning first semester scholarship letters. Moccasins and bright-boy socks carried these energetic sophs to the head of the fashion list. Several sophomore boys were outstanding in athletics, Austin Fitzjarrell, George Ziegler, Tom Dawson, and Dick Malotzey winning A team letters in football. Prominent in basketball were sophomores Henrv Sullivan, Tom Dawson, Dick Maloney, Leroy Wisner, and Ervin Fouts. 42 5,2ig,g 112.2 with t,1f.: fi! Si? QV? if I'll'UIIf mu-M. Beck, A. Anderson, F.

However, the starling may he taught, in time, to whistle as pretty a tune as any hird. 4 With craning necks and failing hearts, the class of '44 entered the halls of Shawnee- Mission last September 16. There were exactly 293 of these novices who proved good sources of laughter for the upperclassmen as they worked and slaved to open their lockers, and after much searching, wandered tardily into the correct classrooms. The problem of choosing class officers was solved by electing Bill Garrett as president, Sue Foster, vice-president, Frank Diggle, secretary, and Gordon Wisner, treasurer. . just to prove that the freshmen aren't so backward as commonly supposed, 50 stu- dents presented Hrst six weeks' grade cards which rated honor roll awards. The first semester, 15 members were awarded scholarship letters. The basketball and football teams, supported by these enthusiastic underclassmen, again took first place in the Northeast Kansas league, losing only one league football game and no league basketball games. In the freshman regional basketball tournament held at Washington rural, the Shawnee-Mission yearlings placed second, and two fresh- man boys, Morris Riggs and William Zipp, won positions as forwards on the All-Star team. Not only was there a large number of new students enrolled at Shawnee-Mission, but there were also eight additions to the faculty. These freshmen of the administration included Miss Dorothy Gresham, mathematics, Mr. U. G. jackson, mathematics and science, Miss Louise Brill, librarian, Miss Doris Sherman, home economics, Miss Elva Douglass, social science and commerce, Miss Ellamae Kleiber, commerce, and Miss Ruth Vette, English. After teaching in the Merriam grade school for five years, Mr. Orval Hemphill joined the faculty as social science instructor and helped organize the debate team which was also a new addition this year. Elected as freshman representatives on the Student Council were Joana Barker, Frank Diggle, Harry Robb, Betty Simpson, and Wilbur Zipp. Causing many merry mix-ups were the Foster twins, Barbara and Sue, who enrolled as freshies. We predict they'll still be unsolved problems to the faculty members in '44! Using their unparalleled influence, the freshmen secured many interesting lyceum programs during the year. Those popularly acclaimed the most interesting included the Deep River Plantation singers, a negro quartet, Harry C. White, humorist, scientist, and lecturer, a three-act comedy, Modern Daughtersf' presented by the Salisbury Players, H. Canfield Cook, former R. A. F. officer, and the Marching Men of Song,', a group of vocal and instrumental musicians. 46 li B 1 C .. f u X, v N sk - 1 P,':j,p ' C Frou! mu'-E. Ableson, B. Boatman, B. Baker, M. Barrett, B.

In its seventh year, the orchestra has shown a promising improvement, much of it due to the balance of the instruments. The addition of the harp has nearly completed this balance. For the first time in the orchestra's history, this 45-piece organization entered the district music contest at Lawrence. They received a superior or second division rating. Marjorie Brooks, Elizabeth Fosmire, Jane Hester, Andress K.ernick, and Wilbu.rta Miller entered the contest as a string ensemble which was rated in the excellent or third division. Mr. John Francis, director, expressed the opinion that the crchestra was undoubtedly the best ever organized at Shawnee-Mission. The string choir presented a Christmas program over radio station KCKN with the assistance of several solos. The entire orchestra ave a P.-T.A. ro ram in A ril, but the main event s onsored g U P g P A J P b the orchestra was the annual Indian Cavalcade, a ro ram in which student talent Y u P g n n n la ed a ma or art. Three members of the orchestra Harlan Livin ood, Tom Mau 1n, P Y .1 P A U p , g U .P and Paul Miller, wrote the original script. Dance choruses, comedy, and swing music by the Cavalcade orchestra brought a capacity audience to the show. Several c-utside activities were also included during the year. Two of these were a picnic and a concert by the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra. Members of the orchestra received three opportunities to attend the Philharmonic orchestra concerts. The orchestra officers were Paul Miller, president, Gordon Stein, business manager Wilburta Miller, secretary, and Marjorie Brooks, treasurer. 54 2 df ,. I .,m,,. 7k,, .,.. N 'lb 'f gvla mu 'M nf' Q.

Earning the individual honors of highly superior ratings in this contest were the follow- ing students: Clarence Johnson, clarinet, Andress Kernick, violin, Bobbie Robertson, Xylophone, Betty Jeanne Smith, marimba, and Kelda Whipple, baton twirling. The French-blue and red uniforms provided a colorful display for the spectators throughout the season's marching and concert exhibitions. Participation in the American Royal parade and show on Kansas day was the first scheduled event in the band's date booki' for the year, while two formal concerts were presented later in the season. Chosen from Greater Kansas City bands to furnish pep atmosphere for a Red Grange radio program, the group participated in the national hook-up broadcast at the Munici- pal auditorium in December. The band and orchestra were hosts to three schools, Raytown, Excelsior Springs, and Argentine, on March 19 in an ensemble clinic. Each instrumental group represented was judged and criticized by N. DeRubertis, well-known composer and conductor. May 1 the band presented its annual spring concert. The program was composed of patriotic songs, novelty acts, and concert pieces. A twirling exhibition included the head drum majorettes and the twirling corps. A trombone quartet and a trumpet quartet assisted the vocal numbers presented by the Men's chorus on their musical and amateur contest held May 23. In conjunction with their marching practices, the band members were shown motion pictures taken of the band during a practice. These were extremely helpful in cor- recting mistakes in marching technique. On April 30, all music students were entertained with a banquet and dance at the Plaza hall in Kansas City, Mo., by the Music Boosters' club. Leading the band through its marching suc- 3 cesses were Mildred Barner and Marjorie Wood- l man, co-head majorettes, assisted by Kelda Whipple and Billee Nell Grayson, twirling majorettes. Also featured at the head of the organization during its many performances was a twirling corps of six girls. 6 Officers for the year included Tom Maupin, president, Ray Allsup, Hrst vice-president, Jack Brown, second vice-president, Mary Wood, sec- k 0 retary, Penelope Boxmeyer, treasurer, and Mar- jorie Woodman, business manager. 57 xlx Chorus Classes Composed of two girls' classes, one first year and one advanced, and a boys' first year class, the vocal music department was under the direction of Miss Mary Reid for the second consecutive year. This year the girls selected for their uniforms light blue skirts and white, full-sleeved blouses, however, the boys retained their uniforms of the past year, long-sleeved white sweaters worn with dark trousers. The emblem of the girls' chorus is a small black pin in the form of a music note, the boys' emblem is a black felt note worn on the front of their white sweaters. The combined chorus classes presented the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, The Mikado, March 22. The leading roles were sung by Patricia Drake, Barbara Wright, Donald White, Robert Johnson, Fred Weber, Ruth Mutz, Donald Barron, and Virginia Cochran. Other entertainments in which the chorus took part were Why the Chimes Rang, the Christmas program in which it assisted the dramatics departmentg the Indian Cavalcade, an all-school musical production, and the spring concert, presented in collabo- ration with the entire music department. Smaller groups of the chorus at various times sang for churches, assembly programs, school banquets, and club meetings. ' Although much of the time in the chorus classes is spent in singing, about one-fourth of the work is music appreciation. Students enrolled in chorus receive a full credit for the year's work.

Organized in 1929, this society has grown until it now has chapters in 43 of the 48 states. On April 22, 1940, the charter members of Thespian troupe 413 of Shawnee-Mission high school were initiated. This year the initiation service was held April 2 in the school auditorium. To be eligible for membership in the Thespian troupe, one must have played a major role in one long play, or the equivalent in several short plays. Persons performing efficient production staff work may also become members. All students who qualify and who are worthy of membership are accepted. This society is non-secret, non-social, is educational in nature, and has as its motto, Act well your part, therein all the honor lies. The troupe's officers are James Pilley, president, Marian Darby, vice-president, Nancy Diggle, secretary, Marjorie Calhoun, treasurer, and Tom Maupin, sergeant-at-arms. Thqvzdn Play Under the direction of Miss Ruth Browne, New Fires, a 3-act domestic comedy by Charles Quimby Burdette, was presented February 6 by prospective members of the Thespian Society. The plot of the production centered around the Stephen Santry family, composed of Mr. Santry, an author, his wife, four children, and a newly acquired daughter-in- law. Sadly spoiled by too little responsibility are most of the members of this family which has inherited a farmhouse in the Ozarks. Either work or starve! is the ultimatum handed out by the disgusted head of the family when the others rebel against the inconveniences of farm life. So work they do, and with the help of a few unexpected events several favorable changes occur in the Santry family. Members of the cast were Bill Andrews, jack Brown, Katherine Corbin, Dave Cowley, Marian Darby, Nancy Diggle, Ruth Duey, Shirley Engel, Willia James, Robert Liem, James Pilley, Barbara Sperry, Frank Stiles, Margaret Tyson, and Marjorie Woodman. Production staff members included Bud MacLean, Gretchen Fehn, Mary Foster, Tommy Ackerman, Clyde Moles, John Borders, and Joseph McCoskrie. 63 Seated-D. Newell, R. Woodman, L. A. Skinner, H.

Miss Viola Barron, art instructor, presented a novel change by remodeling the living room set. The plot of this play written by John Emerson and Anita Loos is complicated, in- volving a well-to-do family with a daughter of marrying age. In this family are a father, who wants his daughter to marry his bachelor business partner, and a mother, who prefers an exciting man of the worldv for a son-in-law. The father invents a love affair with a movie actress for his partner. To discover the reason for the excit- ment, the actress conducts a personal appearance tour of the town. She finds out about the love affair, and so does her fiance, a jealous motion picture director. But as all good plays end, the innocent partner to the fictitious romance wins the home town girl, and what was a private quarrel turns out to be the talk of the town.

At Edgewater Inn, small seaside hotel, Mr. Pratt, local banker, is about to take over the failing establishment, when Lord Wiggleton, prominent Englishman, arrives. Later, his valet comes, claiming to be Lord Wiggleton. Marcella Jenks, newspaper woman, telephones the story to her paper with the result that several people call for reservations at the hotel.

R. cabinet also inaugurated several other club activities, such as the G. R.-Hi-Y three- act play, Shirtsleeves, written by Charles Quimby Burdette and directed by Miss Ruth Vette. The leading roles were portrayed by Tom Abbott, Jack Brown, Robert johnson, James Pilley, Whitson Godfrey, Betty Ann Meyers, Doris Heaton, Willia James, Marjorie Calhoun, and Lois Lee Bender. This yearis Girl Reserve cabinet consisted of Nancy Diggle, president, Willia James, vice-president and program chairman, Eileen Swope, secretary, Marjorie Woodman, treas- urer, Ruth Duey, social chairman, Betty Ann Meyers, music chairman, Elizabeth Fos- mire, devotional chairman, Dortha Early, service chairman, and Kathryn Lou Wolfen- barger, publicity chairman. The organization's membership grew to 110. Faculty sponsors were Mrs. Adele Fast and Miss Millicent Robinson. Of the joint G. R.-Hi-Y meetings, a quiz program between the two clubs was voted by acclamation the most interesting of the year, even though the Hi-Y members out- guessedv the Girl Reserves. Early in the fall of 1940, seven girls journeyed to Paola for a district conference. Discussion groups for the duties of the cabinet members were held, and the delegates brought back many new ideas for the meetings. Several social functions were planned during the school year. These included a Hal- lowe'en ghost party, a sports night, and a mother-daughter reception which followed the installation of newly-elected officers. Programs throughout the year consisted of book reviews, song fests, fashions and cosmetics discussions, and various speakers. The last major event of the year sponsored by che Girl Reserve and Hi-Y members was a three-act comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde, staged by the Kansas University Dramatics Club. 66 l fin' i 'A Q-.v0 i 'jf iff Q ., 0 K i s Fran! ma' fA.

This motto serves as a guide in directing the activities of the Shawnee-Mission chapter of Future Farmers of America, rated one of the 10 best in the state of Kansas. The Shawnee-Mission chapter was organized in 1929 and has grown steadily until now it has a membership of 49 active members and 31 alumni members. Mr. Harold D. Garver has been the adviser of the club since its organization. Chapter activities are widely varied, including an annual parents' banquet, a re- paired farm machinery sale, a battery broiler project, card parties, an oificers' training school, and crop, shop, and public speaking contests. Several trophies were added to the chapter's collection this year by the students who entered various contests. In the Paola F. F. A. speech contest, Robert Beveridge, Robert Wasson, Albert Van Walleghen, and Donald Lawrence each won first ratings in their classes to bring back the contest trophy. 'A second place rating was awarded the shop crew in the Wellsville shop contest, and a tenth place rating was received by the livestock judging team at Olathe. Members of the judging squad which participated in numerous contests this year were Jack Davidson, Phil Erickson, James Funk, Kenneth Garrett, Tom James, Robert Volz, and Albert Van Walleghen. A plaque, won during the 1939-40 school year, but not presented to the chapter until the latter part of 1940, was awarded by radio station KMBC to the chapter because of the superiority of its radio skit in comparison with the other skits presented by neighboring Future Farmer clubs. A trip through the east to the nation,s capitol was another chapter activity. The 68 trip was made at the close of the 1939-40 school year. Approximately 40 boys and 12 adults comprised the caravan that made the journey. Oflicers for this year were Phil Erickson, president, George Liddle, vice-president, Eugene Miller, secretary, George Smith, treasurer, and Robert Roy, reporter. Members elected to the cabinet for next year are Robert Rieke, president, Albert Van Wallcghen, vice-president, Donald Lawrence, secretary, George Smith, treasurer, and Lawrence Zillhart, reporter. Concluding their competition of the season, the F. F. A. judging and shop teams journeyed April 28 and 29 to Kansas State college at Manhattan for the contest which was divided into three divisions, judging, shop work, and the better chapter. Albert Van Walleghen, junior, placed eighth in the dairy judging and animal husbandry divisions. There were 399 individuals competing. Thomas Fangrow placed eighth in sheet metal work. Albert VanWalleghen and George Smith, juniors, were two of the 100 boys chosen to receive State Farmer awards, out of the 5,000 contestants. Shawnee-Mission was again selected as one of the 10 best chapters in the state. This is the only chapter in Kansas to receive this rating continuously since this competition was started.

Reform Organized September 28, 1931, the Retorts club was the first charter member of the Kansas Junior Academy of Science, subsidiary branch of the Kansas Academy of Science. In order to be eligible for membership in the Retorts, a student must have had one semester of science, and must be in the upper third of his class scholastically. The aims of the club are to carry on the study of science and to develop interest in the sciences. Oiiicers for the school year were chosen the first semester. They were: Francis Smith, president, Boyd Larrowe, vice-president, Marian Reese, secretary, and Eldon Weston, treasurer. The vice-president has the duty of assigning to various members the tasks of provid- ing educational programs for the meetings. The nature of the programs is experimental, undertaking projects too dangerous or complicated for class work. A few of the programs dealt with such subjects as chemical magic, chlorine, explosive hydrogen, the stroboscope, microscopy, and the Tesla coil. Boyd and Lloyd Larrowe made this coil which generates an electrical spark about 10 or 12 inches in length, This program was also presented at a P.-T. A. meeting, March 17. Interesting to the Retorts members was the lyceum program presented October 25 by Harry C. White, outstanding scientist, humorist, and lecturer. Mr. White presented the newest discoveries of science such as the magnetic eye which is fast taking the place of photoelectric cell, the teletouch similar to an electric eye, piped light which passes through solid matter, lucite which proves that light can be made to turn corners, the black ray, and the largest television tube in the world. 70 Fran! mu'-M.

L05 Gharroth 171415 To help students realize the new importance of the Spanish language in connection with the closer relationship of North and South America is the chief purpose of the Spanish club. This club, which is now in its third year, received its name, Los Char- rochinas, from the combination of the masculine and feminine Mexican fiesta cos- tumes-the charro or suit for the usenorgn and the china or embroidered blouse and brilliant skirt for the senorita. Officers are Raymond Allsup, presidcntg Beverly Mendenhall, vice-pfesidintg Elizabeth Fosmire, secretary, and Frank Diggle, treasurer. Outstanding activities of the past year have included carol- ing in the halls at Christmas timeg a talk on Mexico by Mrs. Eugene Rumsey of Kansas City, Missouri, and a display of Latin and South American articles on Pan American day. A Mexican chili supper and films on Spanish-speaking countries shown by Mr. L. C. Anderson of Kansas City, Missouri, C climaxed this celebration. A picnic constituted the last meeting of the year. The club pin is gold-plated and trimmed in black enamel. On the face is a Spanish sombrcro in gold surrounded by the words, Los Charrochinasf' Approximately 50 or 60 members of the Spanish classes belong to the club this year. 71 !j1 -'sa fx Iih- Y Hi-Y jumped ahead at Shawnee-Mission this year as membership more than trebled itself, and the organization obtained an exclusive room for games, reading, and commit- tee meetings. Membership climbed from 25 of last year to the present roll call of 85 names. The new room, commonly referred to as Room X, is in the northwest corner of the center section of the east building. Members cleared the room of stored materials and completely furnished the room with a rug, pictures, chairs, tables, a bookcase, lamps, and games and reading matter. The ofhcers of the chapter were Paul Miller, president, Bob Mabes, vice-president and program chairman, Paul Alleman, secretary, and Whitson Godfrey, treasurer. Chairmen of standing committees were James Pilley, world brotherhood, Dave Cowley, publicityg Neil Helmers, service, Paul Duckworth, devotions, Kenneth Davidson, membership. Mr. M. E. Alleman, faculty member, was the club sponsor and the district councilman. Paul Miller, junior, was elected by the district Hi-Y chapters to be district congress- man, student director of the year's activities in his district. Working toward the rank of an advanced club, the Hi-Y functioned with a full cabinet of nine members. The members of the club have contributed to the world brotherhood fund and have furnished Christmas provisions for a needy family. Programs for the year included a battle of wits with the Girl Reserves, a demonstra- tion by a magician, talks by evangelists, motion pictures, and a joint Christmas program with the Girl Reserves. For the first time in several years, a district Hi-Y conference was held at Shawnee- Mission. This spring conference, dedicated to the training of the new Hi-Y officers, and a banquet were held March 31. Twenty schools were invited to send delegates to the conference. The banquet was served in the school cafeteria, and Rudi Weims, director of Hi-Y Camp Wood, was the speaker at the evening session. Hi-Y members joined with Girl Reserve members to present a three-act domestic comedy, Shirtsleeves by Charles Quimby Burdette, in November. Miss Ruth Vette directed the production. In May, members of both clubs promoted a three-act comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, presented at the high school by the Kansas University Dramatic club. October 15 a district Hi-Y conference was attended at Wyandotte high school. At this time, Mr. M. E. Alleman was elected district councilman. Representatives from six schools attended this conference. Bob Mabes was elected president of Hi-Y for the coming year. Other officers elected for 1941-'42 were Neil Helmets, vice-president, Paul Alleman, secretary, and Paul Miller, treasurer.

This year, students from the advanced classes have become members, and sometime in the future, the organization may become an honorary one. Interesting and usually unknown facts of mathematical science and history were discussed in the bi-weekly meetings held on Thursdays alternating with the meetings of the Aeronauts, because several members belonged to both groups. Wade Duncan was elected president for the year 1940-41, Neil Helmers, vice-president and program chairman, and Joseph McCoskrie, secretary. Front row-J. Baldwin, M. Koerner, J. McCoskrie, B.

Debate Team This year for the first time at Shawnee-Mission, a debate team was organized. Two new faculty members, Miss Ruth Vette and Mr. Orval Hemphill, were co-sponsors of the group. The debate question for the year was: Resolved: that the powers of the federal government should be increased. Although the team members were new and inexperienced, they enjoyed a successful season. Tournaments in which they participated were held at Topeka, Valley Falls, Wyan- dotte, and Fort Scott. In the district tournament at Lawrence, Shawnee-Mission's newly organized debaters ranked third in the final judging. Robert Weber and Larry Whyte, affirmative team, were undefeated in this match. Edith Gee and Mary Foster represented the negative side. Front row-W. Hedrick, R. Coughlin, j. Shepherd, B. Weber. Second row-E. Hayes, L. Whyte, E. Gee. Bark row-N. Goddard, P. Goodell, B.

New jackets designed by Patricia Spalding and Bob Mabes for the team were furnished by the school. One of the most important matches of the year ended with the Indians winning over the Kansas City, Kansas, Junior college, and the Wyandotte, Rosedale, and Argentine high schools. John Maloney, Marvin Molleson, Harry Robb, Edward Schulteis, and Raymond Vogt composed the A team, while Clyde Justice, james Devine, and Frank Diggle, the B team.

Any senior girl with, or working for, a major in commerce is eligible for admission to the club. The meetings, held every other Wednesday, were planned to carry out the aim of the organization, which was to discuss problems of the future business girl and to ac- quaint the members with the rules and standards of the business world. Reports, plays, talks, and social get-togethers constituted the various programs. Several parties were planned by Rosemary Beasley, program chairman. On Wednesday, April 2, the entire club visited business houses in Kansas City, Mo., to study their methods of office management. Included in this tour were the buildings of the Board of Trade, Folger Coffee Company, Kansas City College of Commerce, and the Lighting Institute. The executive committee of the Steno-ettes for the ear consisted of Ma Foster, Y YY president, Rosemary Beasley, vice-president and program chairman, Edith Gee, secretary, and Cora Robinson, treasurer. Aeronzzuls During the second semester of this school year, the Aeronauts organized with the purpose of studying various techniques in model airplane building, and conducting airplane competitions. At its first meeting, the aeronautical group elected Ray Wenzel, president, Eldon Weston, vice-president, Myron Brooks, secretary, and Boyd Larrowe, treasurer. The bi-weekly meetings of the club consisted of various discussions on the designs of both rubber and gasoline-powered models, demonstrations of different procedures in building, the theory of flight, and individual reports on model airplanes. The actual work of building and assembling the airplanes was not done at school, though models were sometimes brought to meetings to aid in group discussion. Two contests were held during the year, one on design and neatness and degree of ac- curacy in building the airplane, and the other, a flight endurance contest held at Mission Highlands. In a few cases, the more experienced builders designed their own planes. Mr. U. G. Jackson was faculty adviser for the club. 77 MEMBER NA CNAL HONO53 5QClET Y xt' -ff fn ' . National Honor Soczkzy Membership in the National Honor Society is the highest honor which may be bestowed upon a student in high school. In order to earn this honor, a student must rank in the upper third of his class scholastically, and must qualify for the high standards of character, leadership, and service set up by the organization. As the name implies, this organization is national in scope, having chapters in every part of the United States. Persons earning this honor are recognized throughout the country for their achievement. Members in the Shawnee-Mission chapter are selected by the faculty and the active members of the society. This year, the announcement of the new members was made Friday, April 18. Ten juniors and 20 seniors were elected, these numbers represent five per cent of the junior class and 10 per cent of the senior class, the quota allowed each chapter by the national organization. The juniors selected last year became the active senior members this year. The installation service was held April 25 during an assembly period. Parents of the initiates and active members were invited to attend the ceremony. Mr. G. M. Welch, senior sponsor, presented the seniors for membership, and Mr. J. C. Hawkins, head junior sponsor, the juniors. The chairman, Betty Ann Meyers, accepted the 30 initiates. Marjorie Vfoodman, serving as chaplain, gave the invocation. Talks on the four basic requirements for progress, namely, character, scholarship, leadership, and service, were given by Willia James, Barbara Sperry, Eileen Swope, and Mary Ellen Foster. The emblem of the society is a gold pin representing the keystone of progress, at the base of which are the four essential qualitis. Also on the emblem is the torch of progress. Faculty sponsors of the organization are Miss Lydia A. Brocker, Miss Emma Lyman, and Mr. Dale Pigg. Officers are Betty Ann Meyers, president, Eileen Swope, vice-presi- dentg and Marjorie Woodman, secretary-treasurer. 78 BZFDCI' Rggemafy Beasley Front row-M. M. Mills, P. Boxmeyer, M. Reese, R.

Nancy Diggle was chosen editor-in-chief by a committee composed of senior sponsors and homeroom oflicers, with an assistant staff consisting of Willia james and Betty Ann Meyers, associate editors, Martha Koerner, secretaryg james Pilley, business manager, Tom Maupin, advertising manager, Patricia Spalding, art editor, and Francis Smith, photography editor. Selecting a theme for The Indian was the first problem confronting the new staff. The choosing of an engraver and photographer Was completed soon after the closing of school, after which time work on the dummy was begun. Junior and senior photographs and organization pictures were arranged early in the year, while an extensive sales and advertising campaign was put into full swing before the Christmas holidays. Editorial problems were unraveled early in the spring, and the many plans and efforts of the staff became a reality. Much credit is clue the faculty members who advised the staff in its work. As general supervisor was Miss Velma Seaton, who was aided by Miss Lydia Brocker, Mr. A. E. Goodwin, Miss Emma Lyman, Miss Millicent Robinson, Miss Doris Sherman, and Mr. G. M. Welch. 80 Indian 'B 'J Staff Eighteen seniors and nine juniors were selected as members of The Indian B staff to assist in the assembling, writing, and selling of the 1941 Indian. These members, as chosen by the senior sponsors and the A staff, were Owen Acker- son, Mildred Barner, Dave Cowley, Jane DeGrande, Ruth Duey, Gretchen Fehn, Edith Gee, Doris Heaton, Pauline Laird, George Liddle, Mary Margaret Mills, Audrey Petersen, Marian Reese, Mildred Schlotzhauer, Barbara Sperry, Ray Wilkin, Marjorie Woodman, and Evelyn Wright, seniors, Joan Baldwin, Wilma Davis, Dortha Early, Billee Nell Grayson, Harlan Livingood, Paul Miller, Betty Jeanne Smith, Ruth Woodman, and Kathryn Lou Wolfenbarger, juniors. The B staff was divided into groups, each being assigned a special job. The sales and advertising committees probably received the burden of the work, as theirs was the task of making possible the success of the plans for the '41 Indian. Under the captaincies of Doris Heaton and Patricia Spalding, two sides were chosen for competitive selling. The final results of the last campaign revealed Doris Heaton and members of her team as the winners. Barbara Sperry, Pat Spalding, and Wilma Davis were the three leading salesmen when the campaign closed. The major phase of the sales campaign lay in a drawing for prizes donated by corn- munity merchants. Only students who had purchased a 1941 Indian were eligible to receive gifts. Free advertising was given the merchants who donated prizes. Projects carried out by B staff members included selecting and mounting snap- shots, identifying individuals in group pictures, writing copy, recording sales progress on display charts, and distributing handbills advertising The Indian.

Nancy Diggle, Marjorie Woodman, Betty Ann Meyers, Dave Cowley, and Barbara Sperry, respectively, acted as editors of the 16 issues of the bi-weekly school publication. Sixteen representatives from Shawnee-Mission attended the annual Kansas high school journalism conference in Lawrence, October 18 and 19. Mr. A. E. Goodwin, journal- ism instructor, accompanied the students. In the first national Quill and Scroll contest of the year, Nancy Diggle's feature, Willia james's editorial, and Tom Maupin's sports story each received honorable men- tion. In the second contest, Nancy Diggle won first place in the south central states for her copyreading article, Audrey Petersen won honorable mention in ad writing, and Barbara Sperry won honorable mention in headline writing. In the journalism division of the national Scholastic Awards Contest, Ruth Duey was rated as a national winner in the columns division. Ruth also placed first in the human interest division of a state-wide contest sponsored by the journalism department of the University of Kansas. Dortha Early, junior, was given honorable mention in the editorial division of the third national Quill and Scroll contest. At the annual Quill and Scroll banquet April 29, Principal A. L. Cross was made honorary member of the Shawnee-Mission chapter. At the same time, the chapter was named the Paul V. Miner chapter after Mr. Miner of the class of '29, who was the first Shawnee-Mission Quill and Scroll member. Newly selected Quill and Scroll members included Patricia Spalding, Tom Maupin, Francis Smith, Dave Cowley, Mary Foster, Barbara Sperry, Ruth Duey, Marian Reese, and Margaret Tyson, seniors, Billee Nell Grayson, Charles I-Iann, Paul Miller, Elizabeth Fosmire, Dortha Early, and Betty Jeanne Smith, juniors.

Reade, enjoyed a highly successful season as they managed to defend and retain the Northeast Kansas league crown which they won for the first time last year. An enviable record of seven wins and two defeats was set by the squad. Seven members of this year's championship team, David Chapman, guard, Bud MacLean, halfbackg Clarence Garner, tackleg Earl Hartman, fullback, Glenn Mitchum, end, Edgar Wessel, halfbackg and George Ziegler, center, were chosen all-stars of the Northeast Kansas league. The Indian eleven opened the season with a bang, handing the Washington rural Wildcats a 20 to 0 defeat. Opening the league season with the Argentine Mustangs, the Indians plunged their way to victory as they downed the Mustangs 6 to 0. ' Moving next against Wyandotte, the inspired Indians held the powerful Bulldogs, heavy favorites, to a scoreless tie, although five of the Indian first string players had to leave the game because of injuries. Meeting Olathe on the home gridiron, the Indians had little trouble in defeathering the Eagles 7 to 0. The Indians then added two more league scalps to their string, eking out a 7 to 6 victory over Atchison in one of the most thrilling battles of the yearg and disposing of the Rosedale Wildcats 12 to 0. Southwest, possessing a brilliant passing attack, then invaded Shawnee-Mission for an exciting non-league contest which saw the Indians emerging a 13 to 7 victor. One ofthe highlights of the football season for the students was the pep rally and bonfire held on the football field November 7, preceding the Leavenworth game. Twenty-two new scarlet game shirts trimmed in black and white, were issued to members of the football squad. New game socks which matched the shirts, and helmets, which were painted white with red trimmings, were also purchased. Red and black jackets with the words, Shawnee-Mission Trainer, on the back were presented to Bob Mabes and Bert Campbell. Miniature footballs were awarded to the 22 members of the football squad by Rothschild's clothing store. 4 November 14, the lettermen were guests of the Midwest Oil company at the Electric theater in Kansas City, Kansas. Knute Rockne, All-American was shown. Suffering from a mental slump, the Indians were handed their first setback of the season when they journeyed to Leavenworth to meet the Pioneers. , Playing in an incessant rain, the Indians wound up their 1940 Q season losing to the William Chrisman Bears from Independ- ence, Mo., 0 to 6. Mr. G. M. Welch, Mr. F. W. Starkey, and Mr. A. P. QPopj Snodgrass coached the second and freshman teams this year. 86 zu Fran! row-D. Newell, W. Anderson, T. Coles, D. Chapman, B. MacLean, J.

E. K. title, which they won for the first time last year, and piled up an impressive record of 17 wins against five defeats. After burying their first two foes, the East Bears and Nevada, Mo., the Indian basket- ballers were handed their first loss by the Westport Tigers, undisputed champions of the Interscholastic league. During Christmas week, the Ward Cyclones provided the Indians with their second defeat. The Indian cage members, however, stepped back into the win column when they met their first league rivals, the Leavenworth Pioneers, and then won decided victories over Rosedale, Olathe, Lawrence, and Atchison. By downing the Argentine Mustangs, the Indians broke that tie for first place in the league, and then continued their pace by adding victories over Rosedale, Olathe, Lawrence, and Washington rural. After romping over the Atchison Redmen, the Indian cagers cinched the league crown by vanquishing Argentine a second time, and then completing the conference season with an easy triumph over Leavenworth. The cagers then journeyed to Olathe to enter the regional tournament. By conquering Rosedale in their first game, the Indians advanced to the finals where they met Wyan- dotte. Although a tough battle was predicted, the Indians were no match for the strong Bulldog squad. Because of their season's record, the Indian cagers were invited to the state basket- ball tournament at Emporia. They were matched with Eldorado, second best team in the state, and went down in defeat during the final three minutes of play. Bud MacLean, guard, and Glenn Mitchum, forward, received berths on the first N. E. K. All-Star team. Tad Coles, guard, Tom Dawson, center, and Dick Maloney, forward, received honorable mention. The Papooses also enjoyed a successful season this year, as they set up a record of 12 victories and three losses. Earning A team basketball letters were seven students, Henry Doc Sullivan, Dick Maloney, Tom Dawson, sophomoresg Tad Coles, Glenn Mitchum, juniors, and David Chapman and Bud MacLean, seniors. March 29 the Boys' and Girls' Pep clubs enter- tained the members of the basketball squad at the traditional basketball banquet. New warm-up suits of scarlet and black Skinner satin were furnished for the first team members by the school. During the season, approximately four non-league and 12 league games were played, eight of which Lawrence high school replaced Wyandotte in the N. E. K league this year. Outstanding in B team games were Willie Chris- tian, Pat Munger, Burt Simmons, Ervin Fouts, Than- uel Bowden, and Leroy Wisner. 88 V 5 were home games. .Z .Z 5 J Front row-B. Weber, B. ' . Robb, C.

Tracie U With increasing student interest in track, Coach Palmer Snodgrass was given hopes of enjoying a highly successful season. Although only three of the 80 boys who checked out equipment were lettermen, there were many sophomores and juniors who soon showed promise in many of the events. The returning lettermen and their special events were Francis Smith, javeling Edgar Wessel, dashes and shot put, and Leroy Wisner, middle distance. Early in the season, the fourth annual senior decathlon was held in which Edgar Wessel, senior, finished in the top position. However, since several students were unable to come out for track at that time because of the post-season basketball games, the decathlon was held again later in the season. Nosing out his nearest opponent, Carroll Gray, by just a few points, Clarence Emery emerged the winner in the second annual freshman 10-event affair. In the Hrst meet of the year with Bonner Springs, Don Vollmer, junior, set a new school record in the pole vault, clearing the bar at 10 feet, 72, inches. The Indian Cinder squad had meets with Bonner Springs, Southeast, Wyandotte, and Rosedale, and participated in several of the larger meets, namely, the K. U. relays, the Horton relays, and the Northeast Kansas league affair. 90 I I 5 s Snappy Simpy 1. Swing ir! . . . 2. Let's seeg whnr du you do next? . . . 5. My pal! . . . 4. Get in there! . . . 5.

New and brighter red and black jackets were inaugurated when the new members of the Girls' Pep club were elected. A formal initiation of the newly elected Boys' Pep club members was held, but the girls omitted that heretofore customary procedure. The total club membership this year was 63, which included 33 girls and 30 boys. Members are elected to the clubs by popular vote of the respective classes. Barbara Sperry served as president of the Girls' Pep club this year, the other officers being Betty Meyer, vice-president, Doris Heaton, secretary, and Eileen Swope, treasurer.

Tom Maupin was elected president of the Boys' Pep club, with Gordon Petersen, vice-president, Jack Brown, secretary, and Harlan Livingood, treasurer.

They presented a skit, cheering, and songsg while their streamlined, version ofl Broomstick!', brought many an awed exclamation from ' the audience.

This is true, whether the bill be paid by taxes through political machinery or by voluntary contributions. No matter through which conduit it flows, it must ultimately come from MIDDLE CLASS AMERICA, from the thrifty, productive, conservative army of men and women. You see them all about you, these real forgotten men, the self-starting, self- winding folks, who still have enough of the Country,s original backbone in their systems to tread bravely the hard road, which alone will lead to genuine recovery.
