ARMOUR FARM-YESTERDAY A FARM, TODAY THE SITE OF SOUTHWEST HIGH SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT OF A WOODLAND GLADE AEROPLANE VIEW OF SOUTHWEST HIGH SCHOOL tr W History HE HISTORY of any institution offers the truest explanation for its growth and achievements. By linking the past with the present, we canlln measure foretell the future. Therefore it is our wish to record lJI'16T.Yv the salient facts in the development of Southwest High School. Historically, the site of our present school holds great value. The vanguard of the prairie schooners wended their way westward over the Santa Fe TT-2111, past what is now the very doors of Southwest. -lndian bands, cattle droves, wild buffalo roamed over the very ground on which we tread. The plains to the west of the school harbored many a weary caravan of hardy pioneers, halted for the moment in their eager rush to the west. lin eighteen forty-three, six years prior to the first concerted movement to California and the west coast, the United States government granted john C. McCoy a large tract of land, including our present plot. From him it was purchased in 1.848 by Richard Wornall. in whose hands it remained until 1914, when it was procured by Charles VV. Armour. In June, 1922, the Board of Education, anticipating the present need of a high school in the southwest part of Kansas City, purchased a plot of ground from Mr. Armour, a square block located at 65th and Woriiall Road. Construction of the unit now complete was begun in November, 1925, and though not finished, was ready for school last fall. The first five weeks in the new school were marred by many disturbing situations, short sessions, inter- rupted by the steady drone of workmen placing the finishing touches to the interior of the building, no electricity, heat or water until the latter part of Qctober. Yet we have prospered greatly in this our first year's existence. This, however, is but the history of Southwest of the past and today-not of tomorrow. We have recorded the first milestone in our history, let us take a glance at the future of our school. To the present structure are to be added two wings, one to the north and one to the south. Ground has been broken for the addition on the north and the new wing will be ready for occupancy the coming fall. One of the provisions of this new building will be a much needed branch library, of ten thousand volumes. Sixteen new classrooms will be ready for the larger enrollment. School publications will be well cared for in the new wing. Un the second floor is a room devoted exclusively to their use, while in the machine shop a splendid new type printing press is to be installed. Cn the fourth floor will be a completely equipped cafeteria. There will be separate gymnasiums and locker rooms for boys and girls. Between the two gymnasiums will be a large swim- ming pool for the use of both. The auditorium, comprising a large main floor, two balconies, and a stage comparable to that of any school in the city, will seat twenty- two hundred persons. When the southern wing is added in the course of several years, Southwest will then proudly take her place among the finest high schools in the country. b This, then, is the story of Southwest-a record of the past and a vision of the future. The location is symbolic of that section of our country which represents the western advancement, the building typifies the development of the educational system in the southwest section of our city. It is a wonderful parallel. Though future chronicles may record later progress, none will be able to surpass the romance and splendor of this first chapter in our history. , Pa go 12 yr Q .N www Y 7 4 P wmmnmnlmimwllum E 55,36 3 1 1 1 11 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 . 11 1 11 11 11 1 11 1 1 11 1 1 ' 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 - 1 1 1 1 , 1 1 1 1 , 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 - 1 Y ,524 JM W!

The Sachem The Sachem was presented as a name for the South- west Annual by E. Stanley Field, lr., '26, in a school-wide contest. The winning name survived three preliminary votes, eliminating nineteen other names, and winning over the Totem,' in the final poll by a majority of the School. In explaining his suggestion, Stan says: I submitted the name because it embodies three qualfties, dignity, fitness and distinction. It seemed to preserve the pioneer tang suggested by 'The Southwest Trail' The meaning of the word seems to be more or less surrounded in mystery. The literal dictionary definition is, 'A North American Tndian Chieftain' These chieftains or Sachems were the highest authorities of their tribes, and were responsible for all official transactions. VVhenever an especially at- tractive camping-ground was discovered, the Sachem left his mark on the Totem-pole, and the mark-the sign of a Kgood camping ground'-came to be known as the Sachemys mark, or just, 'The Sachem. Senior Business Committee The Senior Business Committee was elected to care for the multiple details connected with Southwest,s first graduation. The Committee consisted of fifteen members including the class officers. Their work was to arrange for the gradua- tion program, announcements, Class Day, and class pins. The members entered into the work with true Southwest spirit and they have assisted in establishing traditions which future classes may behold with pride. They have faithfully and efficiently fulfilled their trust. The following were the members of the Committee: John Rahm, Senior Class President George Frost, Vice-President Stanley Field, Secretary Frank Morgan, Treasurer Philip Rahm, Sergeant-at-Arms Ruggell Bgttg lXfilburn Jefferies McNeil Clough RiCl1a1'Cl L66 Kenneth Duncan Charles Sh61Dl1GTCl Florence Stowell Mary Hecker George Truitt Arthur Hirsch Page 41 . .

Milburn jeffrics CLARENCE,', Booth Tarkington's four act travesty on family life was pre- sented by the Class of '26, May l5th, in the auditorium of VVestPort Junior High School. Miss Dorothy Martin undertook the task of choosing, casting, and direct- ing the subtle comedy. A clever production was the pleasing result of Miss Martin's arduous coaching and the enthusiastic cooperation of the cast. The title role was skillfully enacted by Samuel Pearce, perfectly cast in the part of the absent minded, mild mannered, ex-soldier, who- falls in love with Miss Violet Pinney, charming Governess to Cora Wheeler, the rebellious young daughter of the Wheelers. The two feminine leads were played to the lau hin -limit b g g Y Faye Woodlief and Kathleen Ennis. Bobby Wheeler, the callow sixteen-year-old man-of-affairs was played by Willard Weaver. The supporting cast worked ef- fectively to provide the settings for the comedy of the principals. Page 42 Q Ll?

Sandberg-And look, wilt thou, to yonder Dot Pew, meddling winsomely in the paste. She be quite stuck up. Is it not true? Jeffries-Ah, very, very true, but most hopeless of all creations is yon King Baker, who standeth beneath the basketball goal with a faraway look in his eyes as he reciteth verse to Mardie Kent on top of the goal. Hark thee to his rhyme: Oh Julio, I loves't thee so, Thine eyes send forth the brightest glow, S Thy smile so fair lights up mine heart, For there hath Cupid placed his dart.

Sezfgeant-af-Arms Class History v The Freshman Class of the Southwest is the only first-year class in the Kansas City High Schools which is a part of a Senior High. This Class has three hundred and twenty-seven members and is the largest class in the school. Most of its members ' ' Th F hman graduated from Bryant, Border Star, Hale H. Cook and E. C. White. e res Class of Southwest has been well represented in school activities this year, since many of its members have held prominent positions in school organizations and obtained ' d k l d e the fine work high honors in scholastic works. Southwest IS prou to ac now e g I of such Freshmen as Marjorie1Stone and John Smith who were on the Trail Staff, and of Audrey Davis who made the Debate Team. In Athletic Events, also, many had prominent places. The Freshman Girls' Basket- ball Team won second in the lnter-class Tournament. Jane Taylor made the All Star School Team. Eight Freshmen boys were on the Midget Basketball Team. Above ' ' ' ' ' - d t n the all we are proud of our scholastic standing, for out of the sixty one stu en s O Honor Roll twent one were Freshmen After making such a fine start we hope next ,y- - . . year to win greater success as Sophomores.

This Annual contains a very unique feature, in that no one class is predomi- nate. Throughout the year, in every phase of' activity, the four classes have united their efforts and worked with one common ideal-the advancement and success of Southwest. The difficulties under which the year began only stimulated and combined the enthusiasm of every student, regardless of class. The responsibility of instituting customs and traditions worthy of our ideal, and of ,creating the most loyal school spirit, was recognized and undertaken in such a manner as to insure the fulfillment of every expectation of the new High School. Therefore, in edit- ing this year book it was only just that it should be a record of and compiled by the four classes as a whole. y Every line of activity carried on in older institutions was enthusiastically en- tered by the four classes of Southwest. Freshman and Senior have rubbed shoulders on the line of scrimage in football, Sophomore and junior have to- gether defended the Grange and Black court in basketball. Each class has con- tributed to the scholastic and literary accomplishments of our school. All four have worked earnestly on both student publications. A city essay contest was won by a Sophomore, the Juniors represented the School in debate and the Ora- torical contest, and the Seniors have proved worthy and competent leaders in every branch of school life. This first year, each class has had direct influence in the government of Southwest. The Student Council was one of the first organizations to be in- stituted, and has received the support of the entire student body in all under- takings. Later, officers for each class were elected to facilitate the execution of matters pertaining to the individual groups. Each organization has fulfilled its trust and strengthened the spirit of school unity. The first page of our history is written. May the traditions established and the spirit implanted in every heart be upheld and strengthened by those, who in years to come, will take from our hands the trust we have cherished.

Hill Carl Allendoerfer Floyd Harnden James Green - Anna B. Larson The Publications Board, which consists of five faculty members, two seniors, two juniors, and one sophomore, was created for the purpose of planning and ad- vising all school publications. The work of the board consisted mainly in organ- izing the staffs, in formulating working plans for the year, and advising the staffs in matters of policy and other details arising from time to time. The board mem- bers were responsible in part for the publication of the first issue of the TRAIL. but a regular staff was elected the following week, and its members have at- tended to all productions since that time. Members of the board have volun- teered service on the staffs of both the TRAIL and the SACHEM, but the brunt of the work necessarily falls on the respective staffs themselves.

HILL, a4dZ fSOV The Student Council has proved one of the most important factors this year in the organi- zation of our school. The purpose of this body, as stated in its constitution, is to provide an effective means for the expression of students, to promote genuine cooperation between faculty and students and to provide an organizaticn through which the students may carry on activities useful to the school. During its first year of existence the council has exercised a wholesome influence over the conduct of the students by passing a resolution against smoking in and about school, and by its condemnation of student consumption of liquor. Another action that it took which was beneficial to the school was the relieving of the congestion on the stairs by instituting Hone way traffic. ' Remarkable success was achieved in all the drives that it carried on. Especially was this true in the drives for Red Cross membership, for football and basketball tickets, and for Trail and Sachem subscriptions. The council also was a valuable aid in the publishing of the annual. It succeeded in select- ing a name for it satisfactory to the student body, and it carried on a drive for securing advertisements.

VVTTTVTER National ratorical Contest l.Vebb Luther XYitnier, a junior at Southwest, has brought our school before the eyes of the public in such a manner as to command the recognition and praise of all. He is the repre- sentative, not only ot his school, but also of his city in the National Oratorical Contest, an event for the purpose of arousing greater interest and appreciation of the constitution of the United States. The first step toward this coveted honor was the winning of first place in the school preliminaries. From the five enthusiastic and earnest orators Wfebb was chosen to represent Southwest among the other high schools oi Kansas City. This event took place in Ivanhoe Temple the night of April 30. On May 9, XYitmer contended with the representatives of Wfestern Missouri, Kansas. lfastrrn Colorado, and Southern Nebraska. There again he won a glorious victory, bringing honor to our city, our school and above all, to the remarkable power of VVebb VVitmer. The confidence and high hopes of countless loyal supporters attended NVitmer in the zone contest Nay l-l, lYebb's oration, Marshall and the Constitution, shows marked deliberation, con- fidence, and sincerity. IOHN MARSHALL AND THE CGNSTITUTION UXVG. the people of the United States. in order to form a more perfect Union, establish lustice. insure domestic tranquility, provide ft-r the Common Defense, promote the beneral Pave T9 fn ' V I Vxfelfare, and secure the blessings of Liberty for ourselves and for our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. l D So runs the preamble to that greatest document man has ever penned, The Constitution. Un the fourth day of july, 1776, a gathering of Americas greatest men, some of 'whom later formed the governing body of our land, met in Independence Hall at Philadelphia and ' l l ter affixed their signatures to voted to declare our separation from a foreign power, anc a D 13 that Immortal Document, declaring These Llnited States to be free and independent. Tl r followed this act a war of untold suffering to those sturdy patriots, our ancestors, ie e to ascertain whether this country was to be free and independent. It was in this dwar fog independence that we first hear of john Marshall. VVe hear of him as a soldier, an one o great ability. Marshall was one of the first to enlist in the Continental Army and was one of the last to receive his discharge. Marshall once said of his military career, I had grown up at a time when the love of the Union and resistance to the claims of Great Britain were inseparable inmates of the same bosomg when patriotism and strong fellow-feeling with our fellow-citizens of Boston were identical, when the maxim 'United We Stand, Divided We Fan' was the maxim of every orthodox American. I had imbibed these sentiments so thoroughly that they constituted :1 part of my being. I carried them with me into the Army, where I found myself associated with brave men of different states, who were risking life and every- thing valuable, in a cause believed by all to be most precious and most sacred. So, we see Marshall fought for the Constitution. . A N .. ,, ,i . u MF h f Under the guidance of the Divine Power, VX ashington, the ever heralded at er o Our Country, led and directed the Colonial forces to a grand and glorious triumph for the cause of freedom. ' ' ' ' f - ' ' ' ' 't h'ch had 'lhis war created in the minds and hearts of those fighting patriots, a spiri w 1 previously never existed in America. This spirit was none other than that of unity. Hence- forth, through the efforts and persuasions of the Continental Congress, our forefathers brought up the Articles of Confederation for adoption by the colonies. In 1778 the colonies ratified the Articles of Confederation. Thus had the Union begun. There had been established a very loose union of sovereign states. Now, there were at this time enlightened citizens who were advocates of a strong Federal Government, and who could see and foretell that a con- federacy, such as was had, could not be permanent. These men favored the forming of a more perfect Union, so through the tireless efforts of Washington, as leader of the assembly, the economic Hamilton, the fluent jefferson, the learned Franklin, and the eloquent Madison, the Constitution was drawn up in 1787. Virginia and New York were the last two states to ratify the Constitution in 1788, the first largely through the exertions of john Marshall. The Constitution was formed and ratified by the states. There remained only one great task. Oh, what a great task that was, the establishing and solidifying of the Constitution. The foundation was built, and the structure was placed thereon. There remained only one outstanding question in the minds of the VVorld. Was the foundation built upon the solid rock or upon the sinking sand? There was fear in the hearts of many patriots for the safety of that foundation. john Marshall was more than a satisfactory answer to that question, in the minds of the world. Marshall erased those fears for the safety of that foundation, which troubled the hearts of the patriots. Not until Marshall took the reins as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States was the Constitution firmly established. The accession of John Marshall as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court on January 31st, 1801, marked the turning point in his life and an epoch in the legal and constitutional history of the United States. In his reign as Chief Justice, Marshalls works, especially in the field of constitutional law, forms the greatest contribution to American jurisprudence made by any judge the country has ever known. U His fame will endure as The Great Interpreter of the Constitution. The people were doubtful as to their own power Linder the new constitution, as to the power of the state, and as to the power of the National Government. VVhile Marshall was Chief justice he made great decisions in regard to these respective powers. In his decision in the case of 'fMcCulloch vs. Marylandl' he established the authority of the National Government over that of the State, in regard to national institutions. In the Dartmouth College case he again proved the power of the National Government over the State. In the case of Marbury vs. Madison Marshall established the authority of the Su- preme Court of the United States to declare an act of Congress unconstitutional. Forlthirty-four years, rendering these and many other invaluable decisions, Marshall served his country as Chief justice. The people no longer doubted. Nay! They were jubilant to think they had courts powerful enough to enforce the constitution. To John Marshall, with his judicial prowess, his manly honor, and his paramount char- acter, do we owe the establishment of the Constitution. ' It has been said, and let it now be repeated: The fame of john Marshall lies in the part he had in establishing and solidifying the Government, which has been the subject of inade- quate laudation. His best memorial is That Constitution to which he gave power and author1ty,- wherever the territory of the United States extends and wherever the Stars and Stripes ot America float.

The boys' debate, on the question, Resolved that the United States should cancel all financial obligations due from the governments of the allies on account of the World War, was held January 29th in the auditoriums of the five high schools. The glory of bringing Southwest its first victory belongs to the Negative Team. The Affirmative Team lost in a two-to-one decision to the Manual team at Manual. Our team based its arguments on the facts that cancellation is practicable, wise, and just. The Negative Team, which defeated Northeast at Southwest, tore down the opponents' arguments on the ground that cancellation is unnecessary, unjust and unwise. Each speech was logically and consistently worked out. The debate as a whole held the attention of every part of the audience, and the friendly rivalry of the two schools gave an added interest to the intellectual combat. Southwest negative debaters defeated their opponents from Northeast in a final decision of two-to-one. The many hours spent in research and in the construction of the argumests were rewarded in first victory in the history of Southwest. They have started the new school on the path of fame, may their great enthusiasm and perseverance be handed down to future debaters ! Page 8 1 N? 26' by rx Wi ,, ,... ,. , , 4 M f ,4W,f.m,w ff-vf .

The subject for debate was: Resolved that the United States Should Establish , Federal Control of Child Laborf' ' .The affirmative team maintained that State laws are inadequate: that child labor is a national problemg and finally, that federal control is the logical and practicable solution to the problem. Southwests negative team based their argument on the contention that child labor is a state problemg that the state governments are adequate in handling the problem, and that Federal control would be contrary to the fundamental principles of American Government. Although the arguments put forward by both negative and affirmative teams were ex- tremely forceful and convincing, Southwest lost the debates by a two-to-one vote in favor of the opposition at both schools. 1 Page S2 o tif t il l 11 W2 X X Rv x 'P KN ' RNS UTS 41' Ill Il IIA? ggf lX .. - .Ffa W I Y 'RHIXQJI 11' 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ,11 1 Q31 1 V , 1 1 1 4 1 1 1 '1 1 11k 11 1 W 1 1 1- 5 11 1 11 1 111 11111 , 1,1 111' 1111.

Page SS HE R. 0. T. C. unit of Southwest High School has been very successful the first year. There are fifty-three boys enrolled in two platoons, forming one company. This company won the city inspection, the only interscholastic contest en- tered. There was only one other platoon in the city, one at Central High School, which was better than the Southwest company. The cadets have served in various capacities' this year. During the football season they formed a pa- trol guard, and later they handled the parking situa- tion very successfully. A change in instructors was made in March. Cap- tain Nelson M. limboden was transferred to Fort Bliss and Sergeant james Howard of jefferson Barracks, St. Louis, was assigned to take his place. It is ex- tremely hard for' an R. O. T. C. unit to change in- structors just before the Circus, but Sergeant Howard proved to be a very capable man. At the R. O. T. C. Circus held in Convention Hall on April 10, the two platoons of Southwest held a competitive drill to determine which one of the Lieu- tenants should be promoted to the rank of Major.

The cheerleaders, chosen by the student body, were introduced at the first pep meeting of the school year, October 7. They did themselves proud and up- held their worthy titles by leading' the enthusiastic assembly in a number of new, well chosen yells. Mr. See was also introduced at this meeting as our athletic l manager. Coach', House, athletic director was next introduced and received much applause from the students. Last but not least the football Yellow Jackets were called on the platform for a formal introduction. At the start of the basketball season a squad of boys, who, though they were 1 fairly good players, had never played on organized teams under good coaching, reported for practice. At first the sailing was rough, but with each successive game the team improved until at last Mr. House had moulded a winning team. The squad won the last five games that they played and finished the season in a whirlwind fashion. i Page 103 tw Q N b v MR. S. C. SEE . Mr. See spent much of his time this year as Athletic Manager for our High School. He started athletics with a real spirit in Southwest, and has suc- ceeded remarkably. We wish to com- mend him for his hard work and ef- fort in giving it the support it needs. Pa e 104 MR. L. A. HOUSE Mr. House, known to Southwest High enthusiasts as Coach, has proven himself capable of developing raw recruits into seasoned players.

Bates had a good eye for the basket, was a good dribbler and always in the game with lots of scrap. The ability to play either guard or forward made him a valuable 33 player.

However, we saw him go in a few games and know he will be a big cog in the machine next year. FRANK MORGAN, senior. lt was not until late in the season that Pat really struck his stride, but every game found' him doing his bit to help the team win. Pat', was most effective under the basket and he always gave his guard plenty of trouble. si ww' vp 1 ix gf fx. A .J x V l X' lx FRANK MCKNIGHT, junior.

BAYNE Director of Physical Training for Girls The Aim of the Department The department of Physical Education for girls provides an opportunity for the girls to participate in Wholesome recreative activities. Its aim is the develop- ment of a well co-ordinated mind and body, the development of an individual who can meet life's situations. Health, strength, skill, and beauty are the physical by- products of the department. Although Physical Education is not compulsory a large percentage of the girls are enrolled in the gym classes. Baseball, basketball, tennis, volley ball and track are some of the activities offered. Intramural tournaments are held in all of the sports, in order to give each girl an opportunity to play on some team. Interclass games are frequently played in order to fill the place of interscholastic competition which is not permitted in girls' sports in Kansas City schools.

Truitt became the hero of the day when he rescued the young ladies by throwing the largest bull. . A CLEAN PAPER To TALE FEATHERS: I have just gone over the pages of your last issue, and I think it one of the best city papers that I have ever seen. Your pages are clean and free from errors. There is good proof-reading, and careful linotype work. The punctuation is correct, and you know where and when to use a capital letter. The matter in the paper give stories a rarely fine setting. Some things you are avoiding. You do not print pictures that disgust your readers. I see no bathing beauties, Venuses, and such in your paper. You do not feature crime. Your cartoon feature is always good? I thank you for this paper. It should be in every home in Timbuck Too territory. It brings local news put up in good shape.

Her early life was spent in perfecting the gentle art of calf raising. She was forced to migrate to the North Carolina hills during an epi- demic of hoof and mouth disease in 1802. Through extensive yodelling in these hills she was led to believe that she had a voice, so she bought a pair of shoes and went to New York to study under Tetrazinni. She obtained an engagement with the Metropolitan but being too bashful to sing, made good her en- gagement with a Bavarian nobleman instead.

His sweet disposition as a baby convinced the neighbors that he was to die young, and all his life people have been sitting around waiting for the event to occur. Nothing absolutely fatal has been noted as yet, but a partial mortality may have taken place in the head. Possibly the leading of a dual life has prevented his kicking off openly. It is rumored that, while being a butter-and-egg man by day, by night he is in the Geisha Girl, Chorus of Charlot's Review. I-Ie is otherwise quaintly dramatic, having been a guiding factor in the choice and pre- sentation oi the Senior Play CHicksville, 190lj.

Shepherd, Jr., third eldest daughter of an Ori- ental rug beater, was born in Siam on Balloon Day, 1881. He has the perfect semblance of naive innocence, and indulges such deceiving pastimes as the cultivation of forget-me-nots and pansies. The horticultural influence has penetrated ex en unto his present term of endearment- Bud, A Underlying his bland and apparently unsophistocated exterior is a heart of most ma- licious evil. His copious ears, flapping in every breeze, catch the sniff of the slightest scandal. He joys in flaunting the vices of his most trusting friends. Little may be told concern- ing his notorious private life-we shield Our Public and blush for him-but sure it is that for his character nothing good and everything bad may be said. - Ambition for Southwest: Censored.

At an early age Dorothy got the job ,I 0 gg I of locating damp weather in Chile. During a manicurists' con- 'U G vention she came to Kansas City, where she indulged her ability as as a snake charmer. In fact, she has many charms as the snakes gl l will testify. Later in life she expects to build up a distinctive trade in rings, pins, and cast iron pipings with distinction. Rented equipment for formals will be a specialty. Ambition for Southwest: My wish for Southwest is that f all the boys' programs will be arranged to coincide with mine, Nb ii, for the more satisfactory carrying on of my most extensive TIL. - and intensive correspondence.
