Zach plmywhaaa ' newwblfzecfmacf HWZWW Q HIUIHH Opening the season with a crushing 42 to O victory over Washington Rural, and closing it with the b-attle of the championsv at Paola, Shawnee-Mission's Indians swept through the most successful grid season in the history of the school. Not only did Shawnee-Mission win an unchallenged Northeast Kan- sas League championship for the first time, but the Indians also defeated the powerful Paola Panthers, champions of the Eastern Kansas League. Wyandotte, strong traditional rival of Shawnee-Mission, provided the only defeat. Charley Davis and Bud MacLean served as captains of the squad. At the close of the season six Shawnee-Mission players, Paul Turner, end, Joy Dyer, guard, Paul Groseclose and Clarence Garner,itackles, Bud MacLean, halfback, and John Maloney, quarterback, were chosen all- star players in the Northeast Kansas League. Paul Turner was also selected as end on the state all-star second team. The Indians opened the league season against the Argentine Mus- tangs, one of the pre-season favorites, on the Argentine field, and the two teams battled to a scoreless deadlock. Shawnee-Mission then moved against Wyandotte, and the Bulldogs provided the lone defeat of the season. The Indians journeyed to Olathe to defeat the Eagles by a six-point margin. The next league encounter' was at Rosedale, where Shawnee- Mission outcharged the Wildcat squad. . Atchison came to Shawnee-Mission for another league thriller which saw the Indians win by a score of 7 to 6. League-leading Leavenworth then invaded Shawnee-Mission for a championship game, and the Indians staged a 7 to O win as a late Pioneer power drive to the Shawnee-Mission 2-yard line was turned back. The victory over Leavenworth gave the Indians their first Northeast Kansas League undisputed championship, and the exuberant student body was given a holiday on Monday, following the game. Shawnee-Mission scored 89 points during the- season, 42 of these points coming in the Washington Rural game. A total of 38 points was scoredby the nine opponents played, 20 of these being scored by Wyandotte. Shawnee-Mission inished the season with the enviab-le record of six victories, two tie games, and one defeat. Freshman History On the fifth of September, 292 freshmen entered the halls 'of Shawnee-Mission with a variety of facial expressions which reflected their bewilderment at the scene. Many greenies purchased study hall books, passes to cross the arcade, and assembly tickets from wily upperclassmen. The future class of '43 elected Virginia Baehr, Frank Diggle, Virginia Cochran, Betty Lightfoot, and Bill Neff as representatives in the Student Council. Shawnee-Mission's voting system confused these nervous freshmen and they had to vote a second time to elect Richard Maloney to the head of the class, Tommy Abbott to the vice-presidency, Bonnie Smith to the secretarial position, and Bill Neff as treasurer. Proof of the great freshman influence was sighted when, for the f1rst time, two all-school dances were held in the large study hall. Another new activity, a get-acquainted party sponsored by the P.-T. A. for the freshmen, was also introduced. The first six weeks these newcomers displayed their talent as scholars by placing 57 on the honor roll. - Besides new faces, this year brought new football and basketball suits which proved, in themselves, to be inspirations for victory. The freshmen will always contend that they were influential in helping the football team win the Northeast Kansas League champion- ship for the first time in the school's history. Besides cheering loudly and supporting the team whole-heartedly, the freshman class con- tributed Richard f'Dick,' Maloney to the football squad. He, in the absence of his- brother during the Atchison game, threw the winning touchdown pass. Composed of approximately 50 per cent freshmen, the basketball second team won all but one of its games. There were three all-fresh- men basketball games- with other schools. Shawnee-Mission's team was the victor each time. At the Hrst home basketball game of the season, the spectators were introduced to the loud buzzing of the new electric scoreboard. F. W. Starkey, a tall, blond man who got the axev from the cheering students the first time he got up in assembly to talk, joined the faculty as instructor of freshman English and elementary drawing. He also served as assistant coach of the championship football team. Pep Clubs As the names denote, the Girls' and Boys' Pep Clubs have as their main objective the promotion of pep and enthusiasm at all home athletic events. This year, as in former years, it was considered a great honor to wear the red and black pep sweaters adorned with felt Indian insignias, the official uniforms of these organizations. Membership in the Girls' Pep Club is achieved by a popular vote of the respective classes. In the Boys' Pep Club, however, membership is attained through a vote of the active members. Honoring the football and basketball squads with a b-anquet at the end of each season is the outstanding annual activity undertaken by these organizations. This year's football banquet was held December 5, while March 30 was the date of the basketball banquet. In the spring, according to a custom of the Girls' Pep Club, the sophomore and junior members entertained the senior members with a dinner followed by a theater party. As is the tradition, the cheerleaders were chosen b-y popular acclaim of the student body.pAnna Jean Scheloski and Mason Corbin were the newly elected leaders. Betty Alice Andersen was chosen to serve her second year and Henry J. Miller began his fourth year of cheerleading. These four people were responsible for leading the fans in Our team is red hot! Our team is red hot! or Scalp 'em, Indians, scalp 'eml Scalp 'em, Indians, scalp 'em! These and many other yells helped the teams win two championships in one year. Only senior girls who have been members of the club for at least one year are eligible to oflice in the Girls' Pep organization. The oflicers are Betty Alice Andersen, president, Nan Sperry, vice-president, Marjorie Kern, secretary, and Betty Andrews, treasurer. In the Boys' Pep Club John DeCloud is president, Gordon Petersen, vice-president, Harry Rider, secretary, and Mason Corbin, treasurer. Faculty sponsors are Miss Lydia Brocker and Mr. F. W. Starkey.

This group consists of such girls as help promote high ideals and Christian attitudes in high schools throughout the United States. This year, the Shawnee-Mission Girl Reserves had a membership near 60. Each meeting, held every Wednesday, was inspirational in some way. Some of these also included student- talent programs, song fests, book reviews, and informal addresses. One of the most outstanding programs- was a talk by Miss Joan Taylor, fashion expert. A colorful I-Iallowe'en party became the highlight of the fall social functions. The mysteries of Heart Sisters week were terminated February 16 by a Valentine party after school. Gflicers for 1940-'41 were elected in the spring. Installation of this group was held during a regular Girl Reserve meeting. A special tea was given at the home of Margaret Jane Schell, president, for the present and future cabinet members and their mothers.

This pin was readily accepted by the members and served to establish firmly the Cosmopolitan Club. 20 1 T . . , . , - 9 ' 1 - 9 ' 9 ' 9 ' 9 . , . , . . , . 3 - 5 J' ' J' 7 . , . , . , - 9 - 9 ' 9 ' 9 - ' 9 ' 1 , , , , . , . .

The charro is a typical Mexican cowboy and the china, his feminine counterpart. Because of their relationship in historic legends, the words were com- bined to form the official title of the Spanish C-lub. . Officers of the club are Dortha Jean Early, president, Margaret Jane Schell, vice- presidentg Marion Virginia Maier, secretary, and Evelyn Tovvles, treasurer. This organization was established in order to promote interest in the study of the Spanish language, and to teach more of the habits and customs of the Spanish speak- ing countries through correspondence, the observance of Pan-American Day, ban- quets, games, and lectures. Gutstanding activities for the past year have included a treasure hunt, films, the pur- chasing of a nacimiento fdepiction of the birth of Christ by small figuresj, caroling in the halls at Christmas time, lectures, picnics, and the annual banquet. The club pin, which was adopted this year for the first time, is about one-half inch in diameter, gold-plated, and trimmed in black enamel. On the face of the pin is a Spanish sombrero in gold surrounded by the Words Los Charrochinasf' embedded in a circle of b-lack enamel. From' row-J. Baldwin, R. Woodman, C. Hann, W. Duncan, O.

With several other F. F. A. groups they presented monthly radio programs. They also were entered in a b-roadcasting contest over radio station KMBC with 19 Missouri and Kansas F. F. A. chapters. One of the main goals of the chapter this year has been to raise money to attend the National F. F. A. Camp at Washington, D. C. this summer. Card parties, a minstrel show, and a farm machinery sale helped to raise this fund. From the machinery sale alone 563.50 was earned. V At the twelfth annual Parents Banquet there- was an attendance of 180 persons. Shawnee-Mission was host to the OfHcers' F. F. A. Training school for all eastern Kansas chapters. This was the ninth year' for this institution. s - Conrad Flinn, Albert Van Walleghan, and Mr. H. D. Garver, adviser, appeared in a color picture on the cover of the national publication, Successful Farming. The pic- ture was accompanied by a 3000 word article about the Shawnee-Mission chapter and its activities. This year marked the first time that an official F. F. A. scrapbook has been maintained and Hlled with material for the state report. Seed testing, lawn improvement, and poultry theft prevention are a few of the services rendered the community by the F. F. A. The F. F. A. basketball team played five games this year. Two of these were victories- one over Olathe and the other over Belton, Missouri. Three were losses-two to Lawrence and one to Olathe. This year's officers were Tom Moody, president, Maurice Van Nieuwenhuyse, vice- presidentg Ralph Mullen, secretary, and Benjamin Martin, treasurer. Mr. H. D. Garver is adviser. 23 7nmeaJie4amanu' ' Gfdwiid all ZQGAQGGWZMGQQ Kifitjaaetmj it W M fa W HHHHNIIHIIHNS Alphabetical Adjectives 26a Attractive Beautiful Cuddly . Debonair Energetic Flirt . . .

Euclideans In order to stimulate student interest in mathematics, the Euclideans, a new organ- ization at Shawnee-Mission, was formed under the sponsorship of Miss Genevieve Herriott. Reports and demonstrations concerning the historical background as well as the modern phases of mathematical science constituted the programs of the regular monthly meetings.

Its aim is to further scientific interest for high school students. This year each member was given a slide rule as a membership token, and the Hrst few meetings were devoted to learning its practical uses. D At every meeting some experiment was made and explained by members of the club. The officers for the year 1939-40 were Manley Fraser, president, Boyd Larrowe, vice- presidentg and Harry Rider, secretary-treasurer. Front row--H. Hull, W. R. Brown, F. Hardesty, H. Rider, B.

Each fall, five members are elected from each of the four classes, making a total of twenty members. To have membership in the organization, one must have a scholastic rating of at least C, and be chosen by the majority of the students in his class. Tommy Dawson, Jr., Betty Andrews, and Paul Miller were the three Shawnee-Mission delegates to the regional conference at Ponca City, Cklahoma, early last fall. This year the Council sponsored the first two mixers in the history of the school. One was held in the fall, and the other early in the second semester. The Council also staged the annual ping pong tournament. A boys' singles, girls' singles, and boys' doubles contests were held. On alumni day it was the duty of the Student Council to welcome back old grads and present to them badges inscribed with their name and year of graduation. The program committee, composed of Dortha Early, Paul Miller and Willia James, has been responsible for assembly programs and lyceums throughout the year. The president of the Council who has presided at all assemblies and has the title of president of the student body is Nan Sperry, senior. The other officers are Tommy Daw- son, Jr., senior, vice-president, Betty Andrews, senior, secretary, and Eileen Swope, junior, treasurer. V Front row-T. Dawson, P. Boxmeyer, B. Lightfoot, B.

Its purpose is to give adequate recognition to students who attain excellence in high school dramatics and to create more activity and interest in dramatics among boys and girls of secondary schools. The nature of this organization is purely educational, a non-secret, non-social group. The club was organized too late to carry on many activities. However, meetings which were held every other week during the spring were devoted to the study of worth- while plays and their production and direction. Cfficers are Betty Pearle Foulk, president, John DeCloud, vice-president, Claude Huff, secretary, and Ray Helgesen, treasurer. Front row-N. Farrar, G. Leverett, B. A. Andersen, N. Sperry, B.

Having completed its second year in Shawnee-Mission, this club has as its purpose, the teaching of business etiquette to girls. The club alternately devotes its weekly Monday meetings to business of the club and social hours.

This boys' group is the high school branch of the nation-wide Young Men's Christian Association. I Along with such activities as entertaining the P.-T. A., selling candy at the basketball games, and swimming at the Y. M. C. A. pool in Kansas City, Kansas, the Shawnee- Mission Hi-Y sent its president, Claude Huff, to the state convention at Chapman, Kansas. The convention was held in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the found- ing of the Hi-Y in Kansas.

I Sophomore History Nearing the half-way mark in their high school career, members of the class of 1942 are completing their second year on the Shawnee-Mission campus. About 276 freshmen struggled through 1938 and 1939 facing the brunt of upper class hecklers. Adding to the confusion was a two-period lunch plan which soon became more ef- fective than any used previously. The activities period during the sixth hour was discon- tinued, and the schedule was so arranged that each student would have at least one study hall. Various organizations and groups began to meet after school. In the ping pong tournaments held for the first time, Pat Whitmore, a senior, and Claude Huff, junior, were champions of the girls and boys respectively. In addition to acquiring the new ping pong tables, venetian blinds were purchased for many of the windows throughout the two buildings. New also in the school were three faculty members, Miss Viola Barron, teacher of art, clothing, and English, Miss Mary Reid, music and English instructor, and Mr. L. Dale Pigg, who was placed in charge of the entire Spanish department and its activities. Oswald, one of the most popular newcomers, made his debut along with Ferdinand, the bull, autographed blouses, crepe soles, and angora sweaters. Under the leadership of Harlan Livingood as president, Neil-Helmers,' vice-president, Dortha Early, secretary, and Edythe Mart, treasurer, this class was guided successfully through its first year of high school work. During the ensuing summer the class of 342 succeeded in losing its greenish tint and enrolled for a third semester with high hopes. - As added proof of its worth, the sophomore class was represented in many organiza- tions. Members were presidents of the Spanish, Cosmopolitan and Mathematics Clubs and program-chairman of the Student Council. Front row-G. Lloyd, R. Lobner, R. Jenks, H. Jenks, G. Kolar, J. Kimpel, D.

' The Indians opened with an easy win over Paseo's Pirates, co-cham- pions of the Interscholastic League, and added victories over Westport and East b-efore losing their first game to Southwest. Ottawa staved off to a late scoring rally to win by a two-point margin, but Shawnee- Mission was back in the victory column with wins over Washington Rural and Nevada. The Indians opened the league season with a win over Leavenworth, and followed it with a victory over Rosedale's Wildcats on a last-half scoring drive. Argentine came to Shawnee-Mission to provide the first league de- feat of the season, but the Indians bounced back to trounce the Olathe Eagles for their third league victory. Ward's Cyclones nosed out the Indians in an overtime battle on the home court, but Shawnee-Mission drove into the longest winning streak of the season by dropping Atchison and Leavenworth. The Indians flashed their best attack to smother Rosedale on the home court, then gained revenge for the earlier league defeat at the hands of Argentine by trouncing the Mustangs 46, to 18 in the crucial league game of the season. After nosing out William Chrisman's Bears in an extra-league game, Shawnee-Mission made it seven straight by dropping Olathe and Atchison to take undisputed possession of first place in the Northeast Kansas League. The Indians opened play in the Olathe Regional Tournament with an easy win over the Paola Panthers, then garnered their ninth straight victory with a win over Lawrence in the semi-finals. Ward was the other finalist, and again the two teams battled neck-and-neck, the vic- tory finally going to the Cyclones as they counted three free throws in the closing minutes of play to eke out a one-point margin of victory. On the strength of their season's record, the Indians were invited to the S-tate Basketball Tournament at Topeka for the first time in school history. Although matched with Winfield, defending state champion, in the opening game, the Indians played their Hnest floor game of the season, and outscored the Vikings in the second half. But the early Win- Held lead proved too much for the Indians and their scoring attack fell short by six points. Paul Turner made the N. E. K. all-star first team, while Charley Davis was on the all-star second string. Turner ranked second in the league scoring race, while Garner was tied for third. Mary R.

IUNIORS 43 I unior History r The fall of 1937 brought a thrill and perhaps a twinge of uncertainty to an excited group of students who- were entering upon the experience of high school life for the first time. With the advent of a champion- ship football team and toppers, these freshmen soon became acquaint- ed with the customs of Shawnee-Mission. Proud were the freshmen when they discovered that they were the possessors of a great deal of talent. A selected few of these were given the honor of being asked to perform for the student body. The following year, this same group came b-ack to school with a more assured step and fell into line as sophisticated SOPlJ077'l01'6S. The landscaping of the grounds in front of the west building added new beauty to the campus and new storm doors were added to both buildings. Along with the flurry of angora sweaters, several sophomores were selected to- head some of the school's larger organizations, namely: Barbara Sperry, president of orchestra, Marjorie Woodman, president of the Girl's Athletic Association, and Betty Ann Meyers, president of the Cosmopolitan Club. Clarence- Garner, John Maloney, and Bud MacLean came to the front in school athletics, thereby bringing distinction to the class of '41. The officers for this year were Bud MacLean, Barbara Sperry, Betty Ann Meyers, and John Maloney. Bud MacLean, as co-captain of the football team, helped lead the Indians in winning the championship of the Northeast Kansas League. This victory brought a holiday. This year the band received many high ratings, and two juniors, Marjorie Woodman and Mildred Barner, served as drum majorettes for this winning organization. Barbara Sperry played the title role in the production of Jane Eyre given as the class play. Other leads were taken by James Pilley and Mildred Barner, Mr. Dale Pigg acted as director. Climaxing their third year of high school life, the juniors presented a prom for the seniors at the Meadow Lake Country Club on April 20.

For all public performances, the girls wear long-sleeved white blouses, black skirts and black shoes and the b-oys conform to the color scheme by wearing white sweaters and dark trousers. Organization symbols were selected by the group this year and were purchased by those desiring them. The boys chose a red and b-lack chenille note to wear on their Sweaters and the girls, a small gold pin in the form of a note. The program highlights of the year were the Christmas pageant presented December 14, the Northeast Kansas Music Festival held at Shawnee-Mission, March 16, and the operetta, May 3. The chorus also participated inthe Historical Pageant October 14, sang at the Linwood Presbyterian Church February 4, presented a program for the February meeting of the P. T. A., and assisted the orchestra with its annual program. Small groups at various times appeared on assembly programs, par- ticipated in community club meetings, and sang at parties and ban- quets at the school. The chorus also furnished the music for bacca- laureate and commencement. Members of these classes receive a full credit for their year's work, which in the first year classes, includes learning essential facts about music notation. Music appreciation constitutes about a fourth of the year s work in the second year class.

Orchestra Although having only 41 members at the beginning of its sixth year in Shawnee-Mission, the orchestra continued to maintain its standard as a prominent school organization. As a part of its year's activities, the orchestra assisted in the presen- tation of a Christmas cantata, the spring operetta, and a P.-T. A. program. A new experience for most of the orchestra members was the presen- tation of a 15 minute radio program over station KCKN, December 7. For the second consecutive year, the Northeast Kansas League music festival was held at Shawnee-Mission. Several members from the Shawnee-Mission group were chosen to play with the festival orchestra. Cutstanding among the year's activities was the Indian Caval- Cade sponsored by the orchestra as a lyceum number. This consisted of a unique musical program and brief orchestra concert. Two soloists, Dorothy L. Miller, violin, and Betty Jeanne Smith, marimbaphone, represented the orchestra in the Kansas district contest at Lawrence. Ofhcers- of the organization are Dorothy L. Miller, president, Paul Miller, business manager, Barbara Sperry, secretary, and Elizabeth Fosmire, treasurer. . Front row- T. Maupin, B. Brown, G. Burg, P. Boxmeyer, E. Climer, J. Goddard, J.

Early in the fall, 60 still fairly inexperienced players entered a march- ing contest at the Excelsior Springs Mulesta. A gold cup, significant of their first place rating, was the result. ' Preceding the K. U.-Iowa State football game in Lawrence, October 7, the band participated in the annual high school band day festivities. On Cctober 16, the same group entered the American Royal Kansas Day parade. Bringing recognition to Shawnee-Mission, for the first time through the marching contest held annually in connection with the parade, the band won a large plaque, indicating third place. There were 28 other bands in the competition for this honor. November 11, the organization participated in the Armistice Day ceremonies at the Baker University-Wesleyan game. The winter concert was presented January 30 and the spring con- cert, April 26. . The marching band entered the Mid-Western Band and Orchestra Festival April 12, at Lawrence, led by head drum-major, Dick McLeod. Drum-majorettes are Mildred Barner, Charline Johnson, and Marjorie Woodman. Billee Nell Grayson and Kelda Whipple were added to the twirling staff before the spring contests. Soloists in the Kansas district contest at Lawrence included Clarence Johnson, saxophone, Albert Ottinger, trumpet, and Sanford Moats, drums. 53 5 9 l, , 'S ' FS il l ,G -4 w Y v 1 Q ,.

At the time the class of 1940 stepped upon Shawnee-Mission soil as its new crop of freshies, the rest of the country was confronted with the problem of electing a new president of the United States. However this bothered the S-hawnee-Missionites very little. Instead they soon became vitally interested in a football season which came to a climax as the squad tied ,with Wyandotte for the Northeast Kansas League championship. To show their fellow classmates that theirs wasn't an ordinary class, the freshmen attracted attention through Sarah Caldwell's winning Bob Burns' bazooka contest and by Henry Miller's being selected cheerleader. During the second year, the outstanding achievement was in the form of Sophomore Night. This included two one-act plays. The school flag, designed by Charline Johnson, won the contest conducted by the Student Council. As president of the Student Council, Tom Dawson, Jr. headed the entire student body when a junior. This same year the junior class presented the three-act comedy, Headed for Eden. The leading roles were enacted by Nan Sperry and Tom Dawson, Jr. The juniors were hosts, to the seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Prom which took place on the evening of May 5 at the Meadow Lake Country Club. For the first time in the history of the school, both the football and basketball teams gained undisputed championships in the N. E. K. League. Gala holidays accompanied these championships with free pic- ture shows and never-to-be-forgotten good times. Indian Cavalcade, an orchestra lyceum, made up only of school talent was one of the outstanding programs of the year. The entire entertainment was arranged by Bill C. Brown, who also acted as master of ceremonies, Charline Johnson, Raymond Helgesen,and Tom Dawson. Directing the affairs of the Senior class are the following oflicers: Paul Turner, president, Bill R. Brown, vice-president, Ruth Ann Walz, secretary, and Robert Bell, treasurer. Presiding at all assemblies during her senior year, Nan Sperry was president of the Student Council. 58 I I I I I I I I I !

Miss Elizabeth Davis, head senior sponsor, supervised the compiling of the book with Miss Isabel Wimmell taking charge of the editorial division, Miss Velma Seaton, the photographic division, and Miss Ruth Pyle, the business division. Charline Johnson was chosen editor-in-chief and the rest of the staif consisted of Betty Pearle Eoulk, assistant editor, Robert Bell, business manager, Tow Dawson, advertising manager, Nan Sperry, staff sec- retary, and Beryl Legler, picture editor. In addition to these, a number of other upper classmen were appointed to the B staff. Even before the dismissal of school in the spring of 1939, the con- tract for engraving was given to the Holland Engraving Company and during the summer months several meetings of the staff and ad- visers were held at the offices of this company. It was at that time decided that the book should be in diary form. The Lowell Press was chosen to do the printing. The DeCloud Studios again took junior and senior individual pictures, and the pic- tures of groups and organizations were made by O'Rourke. N' J X National Honor Society j Selected on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character and service, nineteen seniors and eleven juniors became members of the Shawnee-Mission chapter of the National Honor Society this year. Recognized as being the highest honor conferred upon high school students, member- ship in the organization is limited to five per cent of the juniors and ten per cent of the seniors annually. Thus fifteen per cent of each graduating class has been chosen for membership in the society. To be eligible for membership, a student must rank in the upper third of his class scholastically, and must have attended Shawnee-Mission for at least two semesters pre- vious to his election. Announcement of the new members was made Friday, March 29.' At the installation service the following Friday, April 5, the 30 students selected were presented for mem- bership by Miss Elizabeth Davis, senior sponsor, and Miss Millicent Robinson, junior sponsor. Tom Dawson, Jr., as president of the Shawnee-Mission chapter, acknowledged the initiates. Short talks of explanation given at that time by previously elected memb-ers were Scholarship, by Betty Andrews, Leadership, Betty Alice Andersen, Character, Margaret Jane Schell, and Service,', Betty Pearle Foulk. Nan Sperry, acting as chaplain, gave the invocation. Charline Johnson and Betty Weise were candle-bearers during the candle-lighting service. These seniors taking active part in the installation program had become members of the organization during their junior year, in 1939. After each member had obtained a lighted candle, the following pledge was taken: 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 characteristics in the student body of Shawnee-Mission High School. The recessional, led by the newly-initiated members, concluded the installation cere- mony. H Oflicers of the National Honor Society, as chosen early in the year by the active mem- bers are Tom Dawson, Jr., president, Betty Pearle Foulk, vice-president, and Betty Alice Andersen, secretary-treasurer. The symbolic gold emblem of the National Honor Society bears the initial letters of the four qualifications for membership, the name of the society, and is distinguished by a flaming torch. This pin, is worn by over 260,000 members in 2,202 chapters throughout the world. ' V The National Honor Society faculty committee, as appointed by Principal A. L. Cross, was comprised of Miss Emma Lyman, chairman, L. Dale Pigg, presiding chairman, and lVIiss Lydia Brocker, who attended to scholastic standings and information concerning college and university scholarships. This committee supervised activities of the school chapter of the society. N 77 QUILL AND SCROLL ' Front row-W. James, M. Woodman, P. Laird, B. A. Meyers, N. Sperry. Back row-C. Johnson, B. P.

Students who were chosen from all classes b-y the Av staff and advisors made up this group. They were given several assignments apiece. Margaret Jane Schell, Barbara Sperry, Betty Bown, Betty Alice Andersen, Raymond Helgesen, Ralph Mullen, Ruth Ann Walz, Marion Virginia Maier, Barb-ara Reese, Claude Huff, Betty Ann Meyers, Billie Nell Grayson, and Henry Sullivan were all writers of organization and class stories. Features were written b-y Sullivan Campbell, Betty Andrews, Bill C. Brown, Betty Weise, and Mason Corbin. A Bryce Adcock helped in the selling of advertising and all the staff helped in the selling of annuals. In addition to this staff about twenty senior salesmen were selected. These salesmen sold annuals on the installment plan during homeroom periods and in the mornings in the front hall of the east building. After the installment plan campaign by these salesmen was completed earlier in the year, a contest for selling was started. Participants in the contest were Beryl Legler, Bryce Adcock, and Betty Andrews, seniors, Willia James and Bud MacLean, juniors, Penelope Boxmeyer and Billie Nell Grayson, sophomores, and Henry Sullivan, freshman.

Track A record squad of approximately 70 boys checked out for track at S-hawnee-Mission for the 1940 cinder season. Six returning lettermen, as well as several others who were experienced performers, gave Coach Palmer Snodgrass hope for a moderately successful season. The returning lettermen, and their events, were: Captain Bill Harmon, hurdles and relays, Bill Heaton, hurdles and relays, Clarence Garner, distance and weights, Bob Zipp, mile, Francis Smith, javelin, and Sullivan Campbell, discus. While most of the newcomers were underclassmen and did not materially strengthen the squad, they showed that track interest is on the up-grade at Shawnee-Mission, and provided hope for a strong future Cinder team. Clarence Garner turned in some unusual times and distances to win the coveted gold track shoe that meant first place in the senior decathlon, while Bill Heaton and Bill Harmon were not far behind in the runner-up positions. In the freshman decathlon, Tommy Dawson showed promise of becoming a future Indian track star as he won by a wide margin over his nearest opponent, Dick Maloney. Shawnee-Mission participated in track meets with Argentine, Turner, Bonner Springs, Olathe, and Rosedale. 8,2 Quill and Scroll With over 1900 chapters throughout the United States, Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, England, New Zealand, and China, Quill and Scroll, international honorary society for high school journalists, holds a unique position in various parts of the world. This society, organized April 10, 1926, has taken an active part in raising the standards and directing the course of high school journalism, by encouraging and rewarding individual achievement in this field. Membership in the society may be secured only through a local chap- ter. Candidates must be at least on junior standing, rank in the upper third of their class scholastically, have done superior work in some phase of journalistic or creative endeavor, and be recommended by the supervisor or the committee governing publications. From the Shawnee-Mission chapter, Mr. A. E. Goodwin submits names each spring to the international secretary-treasurer of the society for approval. With this approval, membership in the society is obtained. On April 24, a banquet and candle lighting ceremony were held as the ofiicial installation program for the ten new members in the Shawnee-Mission chapter. Q Mission Staff 9 The Mission of 1939 had the distinction of receiving an Interna- tional Honor Rating from Quill and Scroll for the first time. Also it was awarded First Class Honor Rating by the National Scholastic Press Association. This school publication is issued every second Monday by members of the two journalism classes. For the 16 issues of the year, four changes in staff positions were made. Charline Johnson, Nan Sperry, and Betty Weise respectively acted as editors- for four issues each. A new system was adopted in the spring whereby each page of the last four issues had its individual editor. Several students won recognition in journalistic work this year through Quill and Scroll contests. In the first group competition, Nan Sperry's paper on current news and Charline Johnson's editorial won honorable mention. In the second contest Dorothy Young's paper on ad writing and Charline Johnson's proofreading won honorable mention. Sullivan Campbell was one of the 10 national medal winners in the sports writing division. C. E. WooDMAN R. W. SPEER H. H. LIVINGOOD Board of Education Problems of administration in a modern high school are extensive and the responsib-ility therein depends- largely upon the integrity of the school board members. Elected by the residents of the surrounding community, these three men direct the lives of 970 young people toward future successes and help mould them into good American citizens. One member of the board is elected each year thus making each one serve three years. Mr. R. W. Speer' took his place this year for the first time as clerk on the board. Mr. H. H. Livingood, treasurer, and Mr. C. E. Woodman, director, continue to serve the community with diplomacy, foresight, and careful study of conditions and needs. In the year 1939-40 the board purchased about one and Oane-quarter acres of land to the south and West of the campus. The use of this section has not been definitely decided, but there is a possibility of a new footb-all stadium and track, several tennis courts, and a softball diamond. This is to be the Hrst step in the school,s expansion program. The purpose of the board is to have the best possible school now and in the future. Through its superior management, the group has made Shawnee-lVLission High School what it is today-a leading in- stitution of its type.

Also it is their duty to see that the regulations, rules, and policies made by the members of the board of education are followed in the school. Special problems and new situations are taken to the board by these two officials. Albert L. Cross, principal, is in charge of Shawnee-Mission sched- ules, programs, activities, and minor student discipline. The vice-principal, 0. K. Wolfenbarger, checks on all student attendance, acts as treasurer of student activity accounts, and checks on eligibility for all contests and games. Shawnee-Mission's ranking as a superior high school, marked by loyalty and cooperation is due to the excellence with which these two, men have maintained their positions. A. L. CRoss O. K.

True, not everyone lived in poverty equal to his, but no one, not even the richest- people, had the comfort and convenience of electric living that low cost electricity brings to all today! Electricity has been one of the greatest factors in raising the American Standard of Living. Electric service spans this continent from coast to coast. Very few communities are without access to the benefits of electric power. In business, industry, on the farm and in our homes, the scope and opportunity to further the progress of better living through electric service grows wider and wider each day.
