During the last three years many of its members have contributed a great deal to the activities of the school. Southwest repeated the victory of last year in the Sons of the American Revolution Contest, when Elliot Norquist received the gold medal for the Winning essay. As the Southwest entrant in the Oratorical Contest, Elliot carried on the work of XVebb L. VV'itmer, and placed first among representatives from Kansas City high schools. Philip Kennedy represented the school in the extemporaneous b h Y Menls Civic Forum Last year Elizabeth speech contest, sponsored y t e oung . Buxton won the prize from the Woman's Christian Temperance Union for the best essay written by a junior in Kansas City. In athletics, the name of junior Coen, nationally famous tennis star, is most illustrious. Besides bringing many victories to Southwest, junior has won innumerable state and national championships, and achieved a position on the American Davis Cup Team. Last year the Class of '28 provided a delightfully unique Junior Prom for the outgoing Class of '27, One of the outstanding social events of the year, the Prom provided three separate forms of entertainment-a grand banquet for some three hundred juniors and seniors, a full-length motion picture, and an hour of dancing. As the most extensive project of this class, the Senior Play, produced entirely by the Seniors was presented late in the spring. The Adinirable Crichton, di- rected by Miss Bessie Gay Secrest, proved to be an outstanding dramatic success. in conclusion, the Class of l928 is proud of its manifold achievements toward building a great high school, and trusts that future classes will continue to add glory to the name of Southwest High School.

While all major decisions were approved by the entire committee, the bulk of the work was carried on by sub-committees. . The jewelry and stationery committee, composed of james F. Green, Vir- ginia Tanzey, Lida West, and Fulton Monsees, chose a design for rings and pins quite different from that of the past. The committee chose parchment paper for the commencement announcements, which proved very pleasing to the class. The speaker for the graduation was nominated by a special committee, consisting of junior Coen, William Blair Smith, and Frances Greaves. To select a Senior gift to the school, Frank Clough, John Hoover, and Doro- thy Sayre were appointed to serve on the gift committee. James Terry, Sarah Simonds, and Margaret Medill comprised the class day committee, whose task it was to work out plans for a novel class day program. The girls' dress committee, consisting of Dorothy Lee Bird, Mary Martha Chance, and Helen Reid, suggested several combinations of dress for graduation. The girls of the Senior Class chose informal dress in pastel shades. The boys' dress committee, composed of VVilson Frost and Robert Everitt, proposed several modes of dress for the boys, who chose white linen suits and solid-color ties. Page 24 Q M if o ff L
