As it directs, so is school life conducted, so are the lives of the pupils molded, and accordingly will these young people later administer the affairs of their homes, communities, states, and nation. Mr. C. L. Curry, clerk of the board, Mr. H. H. Livingood, treas- urer, and Mr. C. E. Woodman, director, have been chosen to bear the burden, and with faithful, unprejudiced efforts, they have endeavored to set the course in the direction of the port of harmony. When difficult situations have cc-me up, the most logical solution at the time has been applied. If experimentation does not prove suc- cessful, after careful calculations, a fresh start is made. In 193 8-1939 the board approved the two period lunch hour system, authc-rized the new library method, besides settling many other finan- cial, academic, and social questions. By the rules they have made and the policies they' have formulated, the Shawnee-Mission Rural High School is one of the best in northeast Kansas and is known throughout the state as a leading institution of its kind. C. L. CURRY C. E. XVOODNIAN H. H. LIVINGOOD A. PL' CROSS 72716-Zlbg! O K . . WOL , F Vzcg,P777ZE1QBARGER ' Cl al , Since the principal and the vice-principal are the highest school authorities the student contacts, they are sometimes thought to be the powers who make the rules of the school, but Mr. A. L. Cross and Mr. O. K. Wolfenbarger' do not serve in that capacity. To them, the middle men charged with putting into effect regu- lations, and policies of the board of education, falls the lot o-f educa- tional leadership and informing the board of school problems and programs. To maintain discipline and cooperation is part of Mr. Cross's prob- lem as principal. For the smooth schedule of programs and activities, Shawnee-Mission has him to thank. Besides having charge of attendance and pupil personnel, Mr. Wolfenbarlger asks for monthly reports from the school organization treasurers, for he handles Shawnee-Mission's activities bank book. Cheerful friendliness prevails because the principals look to the future as Well as at the present when they carry out their duties. M. E.

In previous years the Shawnee-Mission Student Council has sent two delegates to a convention held annually for the purpose of bettering schools and governing student bodies. However, this year Shawnee-Mission was unable to send representatives as the council was not elected until the convention was over, so action that should remedy this situation in the future was taken. This new rule will make it possible for the present group to carry on next year until a new council has been elected. Another new undertaking was the welcoming of the alumni to the annual Christmas program by passing out gold seal tags with the date of his graduation to each alumnus. Under the auspices of the Student Council, assembly programs were exchanged with other schools for the first time. William Chrisman and North Kansas City high schools sent student entertainers who presented typical programs in exchange for some Shawnee- Mission talent. Lyceum numbers were selected by the program committee headed by Betty Ann Meyers. Tommy Dawson, a junior, as president of the Student Council, and thus president of the student body-, presided at all general assemblies. Back row-N. Helmers, W. Kuhn, T. Coles, S. Clark, D.

Nipp, Ioan, Nip -Woodrow Wilson, Dallas, Tex., 1, 2, 3. - The Class Poem When from the tribe of Shawnee-Mission, Braves and maidens fair, Emerge from four years education, They leave a big gap there. Just four-heap many-years ago as Freshmen they were known. Then on to sophs and juniors, too, flt seems that time has flown.j Now out upon the world go seniors- Out to face the test. Soon great success should be before them If they do their best. For many, school days all are over, Happy though they seemed, With fun in dear old study hall, And work that intervened. ! Some grads, of course, will go to college Trying to make greater Their share of that great store of knowledge Before it,s any later. You graduates should have a purpose Guiding every dream, And forcing you to keep on striving Hard as it may seem. I'd rather be right is one good motto For right will conquer wrong. While naturally you'll do your best To help a friend along. While last of all, your reputation Should be shining bright So all who see it later on Will know that you're all right. -Ina Claire Livingooa' 30 2: J: i M lil 1 1 i I X M v j , L Lu L.

Miss Ruth Pyle, Miss Velma Seaton, Mr. Palmer Snodgrass, and Miss Isabel Wimmell were added to the teaching staff at the beginning of the sophomore experiences of this class. Although the coronation of King George VI of England was vitally interesting, the issuance of the 1937 Indian, the first yearbook at Shawnee-Mission since 1926, claimed the spotlight. New warm up suits and an electric scoreboard built by Vernon Larrowe added enjoyment to the' 1938 basketball season. V Your Money or Your Wife, the junior play, centered around a pickle recipe.

Junior Class Hls'rory I'-TT-H With worldly- talk in technical political terms, the freshmen of 1936 discussed the coming presidential election with their elders, the sopho- mores, juniors, and seniors of Shawnee-Mission. However, such subjects were completely forgotten in the excitement of holding Wyandotte's football team to a scoreless tie and ultimately emerging a champion- ship school. The freshmen got their share of the limelight with Sarah Caldwell's winning of Bob Burns' bazooka contest with her home-made violin, Henry J. Miller's election as cheerleader, and Gordon Petersen's pub- licity upon the invention of an alarm clock which aroused him with an automobile- horn. Sophomore Night, a special program presented by this class, featured The Pampered Darling, starring Tommy Dawson, and At the Stroke of Twelve, with Gladys Steinmetz as a superstitious negro maid, and Gayle Anderson as a fearless young modern. Ali Baba, Ali Baba was repeated on bended knee as the Hindu club-, inspired b-y a moving picture, flourished along with skull caps and- the Big Apple. Charline Johnson's version of an appropriate school flag won the flag contest conducted by the Student Council. Tom Moody' acted as auctioneer at the old-fashioned pie supper sponsored by the orchestra association. Ui Gui, the worm whose tangle with a railroad train ended in tragedy C for the wormj , first appeared upon the scene. This year, the student body of Shawnee-Mission has been headed by a junior. Tommy Dawson, as president of the Student Council, has pre- sided at all general assemblies as the master of ceremonies. Charles Davis was captain of the basketball squad and was named with Bud MacLean and Tom Moody are co-captains of the football team next year. The junior class this year presented Headed for Eden, a three-act comedy, as its class play. Nan Sperry and Tommy Dawson enacted the leading roles in the humorous solving of a murder mystery. At Meadow Lake Country Club on the evening of May 5, the juniors were hosts to the seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Reception. On the night of graduation, these soon-to-be seniors will, with flaming candles, light the processional of the departing diploma receivers.

Il P w 'm f l. li F L 1 vs ll lm l it i i M i Ei lu Junior-Senior Prom Upon entering Quivira Country Club the evening of April 22, 1938, one found a beaming row of hosts and hostesses waiting to hand the girls dance programs and the boys roses. After proceeding to the check stand, the gay young -people in formal dress were occupied with the happy task of Hlling out dance programs, which contained a circle dance and other novelty dances. The hall was not elaborately decorated, yet its atmosphere of aqua and silver dance programs exactly suited the occasion. - To the music of Clayton Harb-our's orchestra, which had been so popular the previous year, the dance began promptly at 8:30. As the long stag line disintegrated, the students weren't the only fancy steppers-. All were rather envious of the intricate dance steps several of the faculty were able to perfo-rm. Games of ping-pong, Chinese checkers, and bridge were offered for those who did not dance. An inviting punch bowl beckoned to dancers and other guests alike. At the intermission the following program was presented: a dance, by Doris Kennedy, the welcome, Irene Whiles, junior president, the response, Albert Coates, senior president, a dance, by Betty Alice Andersen, a quartet, composed of Robert Justice, ,Theodore Garrett, Warren Livengood, William Harmon g dances by pupils of Mary Ann Kier Sims. Immediately following the program, photographers too-k action pictures of the prom. All too soon the hour for departure had come and the last strains of dance music died out as the couples said goodnight to the seven junior sponsors, Mr. J. Allison, Miss D. Buschmann, Mrs. A. Fast, Miss G. Herriott, Mr. H. V. Patterson, Miss M. Patterson, and Mr. P.

During a faculty feud on the subject of bald heads, Snowshoes called for, and received, three hair-raising cheers. for Fitch shampoo. During the football season it was reported that Galoshes', could be found on the gridiron lassoing gophers. This siege of gophers in the school's back yard was paralleled by the superabundant crop of dandelions that adorned the front lawn. Ruth Duey and Marjorie Calhoun won first and second prizes for the best yells- submitted in the Pep club-s' contest. Patricia, Spalding's model house first began to attract attention. Don Whitmore, Eileen Swope, and Doris Heaton were elected class officers. Audrey Peterson, upon examining a football schedule, pulled the prize freshman boner of the year. p . Where's Open High School? she- inquired of Walker Wharton, who maliciously began to describe a mythical institution to the south- west of Shawnee-Mission. Austin Vincent came to the rescue with the explanation that open meant no game had yet b-een arranged. But the greenish tint of the year before had disappeared in the sum- mer suntan and positions of responsibility were placed in the hands of sophomore students. Barbara Sperry served as president of the orchestra. Betty Ann Meyers, as program chairman of the Student Council, had charge- of arranging all the assembly programs and planning the programs that were presented at North Kansas City and William Chrisman high schools Marjorie Woodman and Mildred Barner were selected as baton twirlers for the band V, , , . 1 . u . . . . - . u -1 K Y 3 V A ,,- ,MH-4 --- .,,.,, A - ..- ....

With the flurry of angora sweaters, the noiseless tread of inch-thick crepe-soled oxfords, and the contrasting uclopi' of wooden-soled shoes, the cradle- roll class of the current year inserted its wedge of influence into the society of the school. A different method of managing the lunch hour by which two half- hour periods were scheduled was ushered in with the advent of these newcomers. Two ping-pong tables placed in the study hall provided noon-hour recreation, and made- possible the tournaments in which Claude Huff, junior, and Pat Whitmore, senior, were the boys' and girls' champions respectively. ' t Newly acquired Venetian blinds on the west and south windows of the school buildings made freshman English, Spanish, Algebra, Art etc., more pleasant to endure on hot afternoons even if the leveling and grading of the grounds about the new building made studying in these rooms nerve-wracking for a time Because the day's schedule could not accommodate an activity hour this year saw the number of clubs reduced and their meetings held after school. With delight, the adventu-res of Oswald, the bookworm, were fol- lowed as he, like the freshmen, first explored Shawnee-Mission's library whose new arrangement didn't seem strange to these who never knew it differently. When these 276 freshmen enrolled, three members of the faculty were also newcomers to the school. W Miss Viola Barron, teacher of art, clothing, and English, and Miss Mary Reid, teacher of English and music, taught at Wathena, Kansas before coming to Shawnee-Mission. Mr. L. Dale Pigg, coming 'from Independence, Missouri, took over the Spanish department teaching and activities Now that they have learned the ropes, these underclassmen see before them three years of study and play under a schedule whose- workings seem only natural.

Nahonal Honor Society classes s-cholastically the faculty and active members of the society select the members of the National Honor Society on the basis of lead- ership, character, and service. Five per cent of the juniors and ten per cent of the seniors are selected for membership, making fifteen per cent of each graduating class members of the society. F Announcement of the new members to be admitted to the society was- made March 21 and the formal installation ser'vice took place March 28. After a processional led by the head sponsors of the two upper classes, the candidates and active members remained standing on the stage while Margaret King, the chaplain, gave the invocation. Mr. H. V. Patterson presented the senior' candidates, and Miss Elizabeth Davis presented the junior' candidates- for acceptance by Pat Nieman, the- president. Short explanations of the four' qualifications for membership in the society were given by Ina Claire Livingood on 'tCharacter g Mary Slabotsky on Schola'rship,'g Irene Whiles on Leadership , Marjorie Thies on Service, Following these explanations each member lighted a small candle from a large one held by the president, after which the following pledge was taken: l I promise that I will strive to the best of my ability to maintain the high standard of scholarship and character, leadership and service upon which the National Honor Society is founded and that I will do all in my power to develop these cha-racteriistics in the student body of Shawnee-Mission High School. With candles still burning, the new members led the recessional from the stage and entered their active positions as members of one of the 2,202 chapters of the National Honor Society whose total member- ship today is 260 000 Bearing the name of the society, the initial letters of the four bases for membership, and distinguished by a flaming torch the gold emblem of the National Honor Society inspires respect wherever it is seen The Shawnee Mission chapter of the National Honor Society is supervised by a committee consisting of Miss Emma Lyman, Miss Lydia Brocker, and Mr L Dale Pigg Miss Lyman has charge of the installation service, Miss Brocker, of the scholarship ratings Mr Pigg is the presiding chairman of the committee In the second semester the active memb rs chose the following officers Pat Nieman, president, Irene Whiles, secretary, and Marjorie From the juniors and seniors ranking in the upper third of their I 3 Thies, treasurer . . - , , , , , . . . . . . . . - I . , , I Q . , . . . . .

ORGANIZATIONS Indian Sfaff Early in the school year, the annual staff began its work on The I11a'ia1z for 1939. Mr. L. Dale Pigg, who had formerly had experience with yearbook work, was the guide and advisor of the staff through the Hrst few weeks. This staff, consisting of Mary Slabotsky, editor-in-chief, assisted by Patricia Bowser, Wilbur Kuhn, business manager, assisted by Pat Nieman, Everett Porter, advertising manager, Elmer Brown, photography editor, Helen Rosenberger, art editor, assisted by Margaret King, was elected by the senior executive committee composed of a representative from each senior home room, the class officers, and the class sponsors. Senior and junior individual pictures and organization group pictures were taken by DeCloud Studios and the selection of an engraving Hrm was in order. When Holland Engraving Company had been selected, the actual plans of the annual began to take form. A book of a more modern and convenient size was adopted and a different arrangement providing for snapshots was made. With the planning of the dummy, the editorial problems began and every member of the elective staff as well as of the Bn staff was assigned copy. When the time came, the staff members selected The Lowell Press as the printing com- pany and began to see their efforts in black and white. M. Slabotsky E. Porter W. Kuhn E. Brown P. Bowser P.

This is the opening phrase of one I of the purposes of the Girl Reserve organization No higher fellowship can be found in Shawnee-Mission than that which prevails among the Girl Reserves. - Gathered together' for the regular Wednesday meetings, the members take part or give their attention to the purposeful programs. . Student talent provides musical numbers and interesting talks. Outside speakers con- tribute book reviews and informal addresses. To keep up spirit and interest, new songs and old, sung by the whole group, are a regular part of each program. I I Besides t'Following the Gleamv in this manner, several social functions become- the means fo-r wholesome entertainment. e ' c The Farm Frolic found its debutantes bedecked in weed corsages and vegetable bouquets. Heart Sisters discovered who their mysterious friends had been when the two weeks of unusual secrecy and generosity culminated in a Valentine party. Since a mother-daughter banquet could not be practically presented this year, the installation of new officers in the spring was accompanied by a mother-daughter tea which brought to a close the year s activities.

When practice began in the fall, 60 suits were checked out. Many of these boys- knew very little about football, but the large turnout promised great possibilities. ' Despite the facti that the Indians had an inexperienced team, their seasonrecord was three victories, one tie, and ive defeats. r Before the first game Melvin Wisner, senior letterman, while prac- ticing, received a chipped wrist bone, which eliminated 'him for a good part of the season. ' B Tom Moody and Guy Parkhurst, b-oth veterans of last yea'r's cam- paign, played at the guard positions. The Grider brothers, Monte and Donald, servedas reserves. a The other letterman, John t'Black Baier, was teamed with Paul Groseclose, weighing 210 pounds, the heaviest man in the Indian line. Excellent blocking b-y these two boys provided many successful line plunges. Ha-rold. Bowers, 135-pound center, playing at the pivot position, played practically every minute of the season. Pat Nieman, substitute center, broke into the lineup in several games. , In Paul Turner and Keith Waite, Shawnee-Mission had two ends who compared favorably with any in the league. Keith's excellent punting proved to be a great help in keeping opponents from the Indian goal line. Bryce Adcock and Oscar Marold were substitute ends. John Maloney and Cha-rles Davis played interchangeably at the quarterb-ack position. Both proved to be excellent passers, the deciding factor in the Washington Rural game. Bud .MacI.ean and Clarence Hartman, halfbacks, featured many long end runs. These two boys became excellent pass receivers and also good end runners. ' Assistant coaches G. Murlin Welch and Pop Snodgrass coached the Papooses through their season. l . . p Q. 1: E ii 4. ll s. a I N l 3. S at al I QQ rv I! 0. E 1 H ,. 1 BE ' Zi ii V i H l 1 A tl . Q4 Q2 li ll I.

By virtueof three league victories and no defeats, the Indians were holding down first place until their setback by Wyandotte, after which they ran second the remainder of the season. . I I Paul Turner was awarded a position on the Hrst all-star' team in the Northeast Kansas league. Paul was the high point man on the crimson and black squad and second best scorer in the league with an average of nine and seven-elevenths points per game in the eleven league contests in which he participated. - Charley Davis, only returning letterman on the team, acted as cap- tain on the Indian quintet and played in every game. .Bud MacLean and Tom Moody, guards, brought the b-all down into the Indian scoring grounds where the forwards could sink the goals for the Indian cause. Clarence Garner, rangy sophomore, played center, getting his' share of the tip-offs and proving to be the- best ball retriever on the squad. His untiring efforts in taking the ball off the backboard helped the Indians immensely throughout the season.

Flip, Flop, Who,s on top? Shawnee-Mission High. Thus were the Shawnee-Mission Indians cheered on by the red-jacketed pep section at every athletic contest held at home. This year' the Pep club has been especially colorful b-ecause the boys, changing to a dif- ferent style uniform, have had new red corduroy jackets adorned on the front with Indian heads and on the back with Shawnee-Missionf' By election of their respective classes, three sophomores, four juniors, and seven seniors were admited to- the Girls' Pep club and immediately donned their crimson sweaters and red and black caps. I New members of the Boys' club are admitted by the vote of active members and rep- resent the backbone of school spirit. Jointly the two Pep club-s sponsor two banquets a year, one at the close of the football season, and one following the completion of the basketball schedule. To these are invited all the boys on the teams, regardless of their special ability. Bouquets of colored balloons and gum drop goal posts decorated che first banquet at- tended by 175 students who heard Mike Ghetto, K. U. coach, speak. Red and black invitatio-ns shaped like megaphones announced the basketball banquet where 140 guests and Pep club memb-ers were entertained with Gwinn Henry's address. Cut spring flowers, hand painted Indian heads, and miniature tepees lent color sto the banquet tables. I Several times a year' the Girls' Pep club' becomes a so-cial center' of its own. The first event, the initiation of new members, is a pleasant activity for only part of those involved. A Christmas party whose only entertainment, the refreshments, is greedily awaited, and in the spring the theatre party, to which the seniors are treated, are the main attractions. Betty Alice Andersen and Johnny DeC1oud were the new cheerleaders, who with Henry J. IVIiller and Katholine Wickenhoefer, re-elected this year, led the pep section and the rest of the fans in the school cheers.

An outstanding honor was paid the chapter when at the 1938 national convention Albert Coates, '3 8, was elected vice-president of the north central region. In the spring of 1938, the judging team composed of Floyd Smith, Walter Smith and Maurice Van Nieuwenhuyse- brought back the silver trophy cup given to the team win- ning the annual poultry judging contest at Ottawa. At the state contest these boys placed third in the entire contest, second in livestock judging, eleventh in dairy judging, and fourth in poultry judging. In addition to being on this judging team which placed sixth in the national meat judging co-ntest, Floyd Smith also competed in the state pub-lic speak- ing contest, placing fourth. This spring a new team composed of Robert Bell, Earl Hartman, Ben Martin, and Robert Purinton placed seventh in the poultry judging contest at Ottawa. For the year 1938-1939 the oificers of the chapter were: president, Sam Clark, vice- president, Tom Moody, secretary, Robert Bell, treasurer, Wilb-ur Clark, reporter, Walter Smith, advisor, Mr. H. D. Garver. New offices are elected each spring, allowing an experienced set to begin the school year. The officers-elect for the year 1939-1940 a-re: president, Tom Moody, vice-president, Maurice Van Nieuwenhuyse, treasurer, Conrad Flinn, secretary, Ralph Mullen, reporter, Ben Martin. I Desiring some way to keep together, the alumni members of the chapter this year organized an alumni chapter. A chairman is elected for each monthly meeting. A secretary- treasurer, which is now Daryl Berglund, is elected annually. Various forms of entertain- ment such as dinner parties, basketball games, etc., make the social part of the organiza- tion, while instruction in new agricultural methods composes the serious side of the meetings which are usually attended by twenty-five young men. -..:..C'J!T.::'f., ' - - ' ,. . , ' ORGANIZATIONS Back row-F.

Cosmopolitan Club Designed to interest students in habits and living conditions of Spain, France, and the Latin countries, the meetings of the Cosmopolitan club are held on the third Thursday of each month. President, Betty Ann Meyers of the French department, secretary, Raymond Helgesen of the Spanish department, and treasurer, Paul Miller of the Latin department, with the vice-presidents, Betty Bown, Mary Slabotsky, and Marjorie Woodman, one from each language department, compose the student side of the executive committee. Miss Elizabeth Davis, Mr. L. Dale Pigg, and Miss Beulah Wiley, respectively instructors of French, Spanish, and Latin, as sponsors of the group act on the executive committee also. In turn, the vice-presidents had charge of the monthly programs. Several special programs were given during the year. Having seen world figures and having had many interesting experiences while traveling in Spain, France, and Italy, Miss Margaret Kruwel answered many questions for club members and Girl Reserves who heard her speak at a joint meeting of the two groups. At a night meeting held March 22, films on Mexico, France, and South America were shown. Watching a bull fight in Mexico was one unusual experience of the evening. -,.,..1-:'1'.g14:w,- , - -Y -st A , ,. K .-- M L, -., -... , V Y ,W , V in ,, Y W, . . - ,, ,. - Kiln' Y.. -Y .....

Asst cashier What Is the Future of Electricity? 'A' The marvels of electricity a half century ago were little known. Perhaps in just a few years, future generations will be saying that about 1939. But these new developments will only come with the welding of long range planning, research, large monetary expenditures and skilled man power into one closely knit unit. The wise expenditure of labor, time and money has enabled this Company to meet the demands of this growing community for electric energy and the building of an adequate reservoir for future growth. This is shown by the present capital invest- ment of approximately ninety-seven million dollars and the employment of more than two thousand skilled employees. Research is constantly going on to increase the efficiency and to extend the help- fulness of electricity in all phases of life. And because of this desire and readiness of investor owned electric service companies to delve into the unknown, electricity is helping increase the span of life, reduce human drudgery and make living more worth while.
