As head of the English department, she has led the school to many a literary victory. But, above all, as a teacher, she has imparted to her pupils a love of the best that has been thought and said, and has guided them to high standards of attain- ment and ideals of living. To live in hearts we leave behind ls not to die. -Thomas Campbell, Hallowed Ground 3111 Memoriam These former students of Southwest High School have given their lives that the Four Freedoms might forever endure for all peoples. May we who remain so conduct our lives that they shall not have died in vain. Ensign Eugene Earle Amick . . '57 Aviation Cadet john Busick .... . '52 Civilian Instructor Richard P. Chenoweth . .

Page 26 During the four years of their high school career, the members of the class of 1943 have gained much knowledge which will enable them to cope with the changes in this modern world. For four years they have been working for victory-victory in various fundamental subjects that high school has offered. Now they are passing from the halls of their Alma Mater, some into insti- tutions of higher learning, some into the business world, and others into the fighting forces or into the war produc- tion fields. They entered Southwest as typical freshmen, timid and hesitant, but they are leaving ready to meet the prob- lems of the adult world. It is here at Southwest that they have attained many of the fundamentals upon which their future actions will be based.

Nevertheless, the making of the small- est screw in a war factory is produc- tion. Southwest is very similar to a small factory, not mighty in number, but accomplishing a necessary form of production. The education of future fighters, citizens, and war workers is carried on in Southwest, a job essential to victory. The Production Service Division of the Victory Corps is accepting the responsibility of seeing that courses are planned to fit students for employment in essential war work after graduation. At least three of the following activi- ties are required for membership in this division: a. Must have pursued or be pursuing a pro- gram which includes courses which are defi- nitely pointed to preparation for work in the field of agriculture. b.

Mr. George MacCurdy sponsors the Air Service Division, Sgt. William A. Story, the Land Service Division, Mr. S. C. See, the Sea Service Division, Mr. J. R. Manly, the Production Service Division, and Mr. George Peterson, the Community Service Division. Each student qualifying for General Membership of the Victory Corps must meet the following simple require- ments: 1. The student should be participat- ing in a school physical fitness program. 2. The student should be studying or have studied courses appropriate to his age, grade, and ability within the limits of the facilities of the school. 5. The student should be currently participating in at least one important community wartime activity such as the following: Air warden, firewatcher, or other civilian defense activity. U.S.O. volunteer activities. Red Cross services. Farm aid, or other part-time employment to meet manpower shortage. School-home-community services, such as salvage campaigns, care of small children, or victory gardens.

Guidance and counseling in matters pertaining to health and the care of emergencies aris- ing from accidents or minor illness are under the direction of Miss Elma Dreyer, registered nurse. The Health Center office is located on the first floor corridor south of the Wornall Street entrance and opposite the auditorium. In addition to the emergency supplies and equipment, Miss Dreyer maintains a Health Reading table for the use of students, teachers, and parents. Among her duties is the teaching of Red Cross home nursing classes, mem- CENTER bers of which are enrolled from the home making department. Assisting Miss Dreyer are four senior girls, who have had special training and instruction which qualify them for their position. These students render a fine service to their fellow students and in so doing add to their Victory Corps service. Their help aids greatly in the efficiency of the Health Center activities. Students who become ill at school will find a ready corps of workers to assist and direct them. Students who return to school after serious illness or con- tagion will show the proper cooperation if they will first report to Miss Dreyer before entering classes.

Page 88 WURKING TGGETHER aa VICTORY This year has seen a marked change in the activities of many Southwest organizations. Although some of the old activites have not been considerably altered, they, along with added new ones, have been fitted into the high school Victory Corps program. The Drivers-War Safety Club, which formed the nucleus for the Southwest Victory Corps, was formerly called the Drivers Club, the purpose of which was to help young drivers become better ones. Now, however, due to the war emergencies, its scope has been widened to include direction of the school fire and air-raid drills, and other emer- gency services. New duties are being willingly assumed by all the other clubs also, demonstrating the willingness of Southwest students to do their part in the war effort. The Engineers Club, an organization composed of young men who are interested in some phase of engineering or who'have chosen engineering as a profession, is another club whose pur- pose has taken on a new aspect. Engineering is, and will continue to be, one of the most vital services of the armed forces, and in informing boys about the many phases of this profes- sion, the Engineers Club is doing a valuable service. The nine literary societies, long recognized for the valuable training they have always provided, are now even more important. Their literary events and contests are directed toward Page furthering among their members a better understanding of our allies, the conduct of the war, and other events of current importance. In the service organizations, including the Student Council, Junior Red Cross, Courtesy Committee, and Health Center, students work for the good of the whole school. The Junior Red Cross annual drive, in which 551,002.12 was collected, and the sale of war stamps by the Student Council during the entire year received the whole-hearted financial support of the student body. ' Other organizations such as the Hi-Y, Hestian, Girl Reserves, Scalpers, National Honor Society, Art Honor Society, and Quill and Scroll also play their part, although not all as directly connected war effort. Some clubs, such as Honor Society and the Girl with the the Art Reserves, have invited speakers to their meetings. The latter, for example, heard such topics as Personalities talks on and Prejudices, Puerto Rico, Persia, and the problems of American-born Japanese, all of which were followed by informal discussions, made scrapbooks for the U.S.O.g and collected clothing for the needy in the war areas. All these above mentioned organiza- tions whether directly participating in war activity or not, give excellent opportunities for the members to work together for the good of all. In a democracy cooperation is essential, and by furnishing actual training in it our clubs are more than proving their worth. 89 MEMBERS Top Row: Linder, M.

When the need arose for a group in Southwest to manage the warning sig- nals and first aid during the fire and air raid drills, the Drivers Club saw their opportunity to do their part in fur- thering the war effort, it was then that the name was changed to the Drivers- War Safety Club, and the four import- ant committees were formed-first aid, warning signal, fire drill, and air raid.

Though the scraps across the foam Change the lives of us at home, The gavels still will pound in forty-three. Now to get brunettes and blonds To invest in stamps and bonds, That will be the Council's task for the duration. Since we're out to win this war, We have made a Victory Corps To help our grads to fight for our free nation. Since the Pep Club, known of old, Has put on a name more bold, Now the Scalpers we will call those yelling cuties. Girl Reserves and Hi-Y's harden As they tend each Victory Garden, And Hestians now take over home front duties. Since the gas they've had to ration There has been less transportation, So the Drivers' Club will miss their traffic jam, And to a world of whirling gears Will set forth our Engineers To make the engines roar for Uncle Sam. And the Lit Clubs more than write, For they help us in our fight As they do their bit with more than tongue or pen So the clubs at old Southwest Will get down and do their best Till the boys will bring Old Glory home again.

' e IV 7 SOUTHWE T, S Nclfiailied swap TEAMwo RK Today, when every high school activity is being either supplemented or changed so that young America may help win a victorious war and a per- manent peace, it IS interesting to note that many Southwest activities have long been teaching the fundamentals of good citizenship, of the utmost importance in times like these. Co-operation, indi- vidual responsibility, and self-control are important qualities which the students strive to attain. The key to victory in every activity is a keen sense of the meaning of democratic principles. For instance, the musical department, including the band, orchestra, a cappella choir, chorus, and Glee Club, instructs pupils in co-operation. The orchestra is an excellent example of perfect team- work. Every group of instruments has a definite job to accomplish. The result is a charming harmony, a symphony of teamwork. Precision and co-ordination are the keynotes of the band, for they must play and march at the same time. In any section of the music department the pupils must work for what they get. If they are willing to spend a great deal of time and effort in individual home practice, they will progress rapidly in class. A In the speech department the stress is not only upon teamwork but also upon the development of initiative. The all-school Redskin Revels and the senior play, which originate in this division, give splendid opportunities for recogni- tion to those with talent and personality. Still more important is the manner in which the speech department promotes the growth of self-expression in its students. Frequent speeches on the plat- Page form before his class do wonders for a bashful or inarticulate young student, for the other members of the class and the instructor give helpful suggestions. There is no better place than the Trail or the Sachem room to learn the mean- ing of the old adage if it's worth doing at all, it's worth doing well, for every article must be correct before it can go to press. For Trail reporters or Sachem editors, there is the responsi- bility of meeting dead-lines and of planning features for the enjoyment of the student body. Performing many tasks about the school are the art and the practical arts departments. They have often contrib- uted to the activities of other depart- ments, for example, this year the school's seamstresses brought a colorful note into the Victory Corps by making arm bands bearing the Victory Corps insignias. Of course, no account of Southwest activities could be complete without mention of the R.O.T.C. and physical education departments. This year special emphasis has been placed on these classes because of their value in building strong bodies and healthy minds. The R.O.T.C. gives its cadets and officers a sound background of military training, including both following of instructions and training for leadership. Southwest's activities have gone to war. All departments have always taught the principles of co-operation, responsibility, and thoroughness, but some have made new additions to their programs to meet the new times. lil www., Za sm o R CCUNTRY Since December 7, 1941, the R.O.T.C. has taken on a new role: to produce leaders for supervising and controlling the conduct of the war. Many of the corps' graduates are proving their worth and the worth of the program by putting to good use the knowledge gained during their high school instruc- tion. The R.O.T.C. in the United States is organized, according to the type of school, into two main groups: the junior and senior divisions. The junior division, of which Southwest is a mem- ber, includes the sophomore, junior and senior years of high school. The bat- talion, with a present enrollment of two hundred cadets, is organized into three companies of two platoons each. Under the supervision of the Professor of Military Science and Tactics and the Sergeant Instructor, cadets themselves handle a large part of the necessary instruction and training. The course covers practical and theoretical work in many subjects, including rifle marksmanship, military courtesy, scouting, patrolling, map read- ing, and combat principles. Cutstanding cadets are recognized with promotions to non-commissioned grades during the second and third years and commis- sioned grades during the third. As the rank increases, so do the responsibilities, therefore, all cadets are carefully exam- ined before receiving promotions. Each student is made to realize fully the four key words of correct training: explana- tion, demonstration, execution, exam- ination. V Government inspection and Regi- mental Field Day provide annual spring goals for the battalion. Other high- lights include parades and guard duty at sport events. Many Southwest graduates are serv- ing their country better because they received basic training in the R.O.T.C. during their high school years. They will help to win not only the war, but also the following peace, and will serve as future leaders of our community and country. Page l 12 The R.O.T.C. Battalion of South- west has this year a record of which it may be justly proud. Not only have the seniors displayed the qualifications necessary for efficient leadership, but the juniors and sophomores also have exhibited a desire to cooperate in every undertaking. Under such condi- tions of teamwork, the maximum ben- efit from this important program of basic military training is gained by every participant. As a result of the revised R.O.T.C. training program geared to meet the needs of modern military prepared- ness, increased emphasis has been placed on physical training. In con- junction with this, the development of habits of order, precision, and coor- dination of mind and body is stressed. To this training program, Southwest has quickly and earnestly responded. Being associated with such an organ- ization whose officers are of the high- est caliber is a grand experience which I shall never forget. Charles H. Shook Cadet Colonel Kansas City Regiment R.O.T.C. Page 113 Technical Sergeant William A. Story Sergeant Instructor Major Thomas Kirkwood Battalion Commander 14 MQTOP During the past sixteen years, the Southwest Battalion has established an enviable record, both individually and as a unit, in the annals of the Kansas City High School Regiment. Each spring, the War Department conducts an inspection, during which time the schools are rated according to their practical and theoretical ability. The highest ranking award, that of Honor School, has been gained by Southwest continuously since 1931, a record unequalled in the city. The bat- talion has placed among the best three Major James George S-3, Plans and Training Captain Kenneth Higdon S-1, Adjutant Captain Harry Filby S-2, Intelligence city schools during the inspection for ten years, attaining three first place positions. At the annual Field Day com- petitive drills among the Kansas City battalions, Southwest has scored four firsts, four seconds, and two thirds. Previous to the present school year, two city Cadet Colonels and four Cadet Lieutenant-Colonels have come from this battalion, and this year Southwest was again honored with the Colonelcy. The unit has produced five champion- ship rifle teams and many expert rifle- men. Page 114 COMPANY OFFICERS Robert Stooker Raymond Pitman Frank Jacks Jo Jack Merriman Captain.

Lloyd RIFLE Rifle marksmanship has always been an important phase of R.O.T.C. train- ing, and this year the war has added increased importance to the activities on the Southwest rifle range. A squad of twenty-One riflemen, coached by Sgt. William A. Story, fired in seven matches against the other city high school teams, winning second place in the intermural competition. Silver medals were awarded to the six members of the rifle team, TEAM who were the high scorers of the squad.

The records show that in the eighteen years of athletic achieve- ment at Southwest there have been set up goals which the Warriors of future years shall strive to duplicate and better. From 1925 to 1943 the spirit of the Orange and Black has ever been that of the fine ideals and high principles of sportsmanship along with eagerness and determination to win. It is the sin- cere hope and belief of all that this spirit will not falter but will continue through the years of Southwest's history.

Displaying offensive power and a sturdy defense, the Indians of 1942 battled their way to another Interscholastic league football championship. This crown is the sixth won by Southwest and the fourth to come to the Warriors in the last four years of league competition. In a pre-season skirmish with Olathe the Redskins were held to a scoreless deadlock. The chief action, was an exchange of punts and a see-saw ground attack. The cogs of the Indian football machine were becoming well oiled, ready to blitzkrieg all future opposition. they were definitely the Braves upset a eleven, 12-6. In the Proving that title contenders, powerful Ward opening minutes of the game the Red- a Wfard fumble and skins recovered smashed down the field to the first score. Wards lone touchdown came in the second quarter on an 89-yard run by Modcrin, ace Ward halfback, through the entire Redskin team. Then, taking the ball on their own 27, the Braves drove relentlessly for the enemy goal posts. Quarterback Shockey, aided by beautiful blocking, carried the ball into the end zone on a wide end run for the final and winning tally. In the first league engagement the Indians showed their offensive strength, rolling up a total of 47 points to 27 for the East Bears. The Braves revealed a forceful running attack in a set of varied plays. The final score was the largest total ever compiled in an Inter- scholastic league game and indicated A FIRST TEAM FOOTBALL Top Raw: Mr. House, Watts, Bowersox, Morris, Catts, Tomshany, Harris, Moore, Kahrs.

Due to his all-around ability and fine sportsmanship he received the captaincy of the second All-Star team. 33-6. Three of the five Indian counters came after an enemy fumble had been recovered. Larry Schrader, halfback, showed his exceptional ability through- out the game by his kicking and ground- gaining tactics. The next encounter was a see-saw battle packed with thrills and chills. The Central Eagles were regarded as the most formidable opposition of the season, but the Braves' determination to win triumphed. Joe Dickey, Wfarrior halfback, turned defeat into victory as he intercepted an enemy heave late in the final quarter and sprinted 35 yards for the winning counter. The score as the final gun sounded was 19-14, the Braves triumphant. Southwest rooters were given a scare in the game with Northeast. The Red- skin counter came on a long pass to Lee Schlegel in the end zone. Charlie Shockey's educated toe added the all- important extra point. Then Northeast scored. However, Paul Marshall, Indian guard, broke through and blocked the enemy try for conversion and the Red- skins came out the victor of a 7-6 game. The Vikings thus far proved to be the Page only ones able to control the Indian offensive machine. The Warriors continued on the road to the championship by clipping the claws of the Westport Tigers, 7-0. With five minutes remaining in the game, Quarterback Shockey stepped off 26 yards on a muddy field, to put the ball on the Westport eight-yard line. Joe Dickey rang up six points, sweeping wide around his own left end. The finishing touch was added by Shockey as his try from placement went squarely between the cross bars. The Indian eleven then took the Interscholastic league crown, as they triumphed over Paseo, 14-0, bringing Southwest its sixth football champion- ship. In recognition of their season's Work the following boys received All-Star ratings: Joe Dickey and Bill Watson, co-captains of the first team, Paul Mar- shall, Lee Schlegel, john Trippe, and Charles Shockey, captain second teamg and Larry Schrader, honorable mention. To put the finishing touches on a truly great season, the squad elected joe Dickey and Charles Shockey co- Captains. 127 PAUL MARSHALL-Paul, blocking the enemy try for conversion, prevented the tally of the tying point in the Northeast game. For his steady rushing and blocking, Paul was given a berth on the second All-Star team. KENNETH DANNEBERG- Playing at center and full' back, this junior saw his share of action. A swift runner and capable blocker, Danny will return to next year's squad. BUD KAHRS-A sopho- more, Bud played guard and by the season's end was on the starting line-up. His abil- ity at paving the way for the ground-gainers and stop- ping enemy thrusts makes him a valuable asset for next year's squad. FRANK JACKS - F r a n k proved his worth as a line- man time and time again, both on offense and defense. At tackle, he played a steady, good game throughout the season. ELDON LANE-Although lost to the team due to a mid-season injury, Eldon, a constant threat to the oppo- sition, did his part in bring- ing the championship tot Southwest. Page 128 BILL WATSON-Always a stalwart in the Indian for- ward wall, Bill accounted for much of the opponents' lost ground. His brilliant work in the line was rewarded by the position of tackle and co-captain of the All-Star ICSUII. LEE SCHLEGEL - Lee became noted for his ground- gaining drives and his ability at snaring passes. A capable carrier of the pigskin, he received a second All-Star team position. SAM HARRIS-This tall, blond lad held down the position of left end. From that position Sam succeeded in breaking up many of the enemy's sweeping end-runs, bringing down opposing run- ners time and again. CLYDE MORRIS - Clyde received a knee injury and was lost to the team at mid- season. In the opening games, however, he saw plenty of action, consistently protect- ing his side of the line and halting enemy drives.

Northeast, 24 After a hard-fought, fast-moving sea- son, the basketeers of Southwest fin- ished in a tie for fifth place in the Interscholastic League. With no return- ing lettermen, the 1945 squad was composed of last year's second team members and newcomers to Southwest. To discover some hidden talent for the varsity squad Coach Bishop spon- sored an inter-class tournament. The sophomore squad produced a surprise, as they came out victorious over all the other class teams. The juniors placed second, the upset seniors took third, while a plucky freshman team came in at the fourth spot. Playing their first pre-season game, the Braves lost to Olathe, 25-21, the victorious tally for the enemy coming in the overtime period. Behind all the way, the Indians were overpowered by a strong Rockhurst Page BASKET team, 29-17. The next night the War- riors received a second defeat at the hands of a Ward quintet. After a 12-12 score at the half, the enemy made a second-half spurt and came out on the victorious end of a 28-24 score. As the lnterscholastic League offi- cially opened in the Municipal Audi- torium, the Southeast Knights smashed all hopes for an Indian championship, handing the Braves their first defeat with a score of 22-15. The Redskins hit a scoring low in the game with the East Bears. A tight East defense held the Braves to 12 points, scoring 33 in their own behalf. The Indians scored five points in the opening minutes, but the East scoring machine started rolling and Southwest suffered its second defeat. Bill Sutherland, Indian forward, sank a last-minute free-throw for a story- book finish in the game with Manual. His charity toss gave the Braves the edge in a 20-19 battle. High scorer was Charlie Shockey, with eight points. Getting away to a slow start, the Indians trailed the Central Eagles throughout the tilt and the game ended in defeat for Southwest. At the begin- ning of the third quarter Southwest rallied and it appeared the tide might turn. Dickey and Shockey poured in a goal apiece, while Harris sank a pivot shot and added a charity toss. However, the score at the final gun was 50-20, Central victorious. The Paseo Pirates knew they had been in a fight after their encounter with the Redskins. The Pirates had championship hopes and the Braves pre- sented a big obstacle in the path to the championship chair. Finally, however, they downed the Braves, 20-15. Defen- 131 sive honors go to Sam Harris and Jack Moore who held Pase0's ace center, Ray Clifton, to one field goal. Undaunted by their defeat by Paseo, the Warriors came back to defeat West- port, 29-24. Sam Harris sent the ball swishing through the nets time and again as he scored twelve points for the Alma Mater. An interesting feature was provided by Shockey, who sank seven successive charity tosses. After trailing 7-13 at the half, North- east nosed out the Indians, 24-25. The Vikings were still behind at the end of the third quarter, but staged a rally in the final period and sank the win- ning basket with only 45 seconds remaining in the game. The basketball team of 1943, regard- less of the final standings, played the game hard and played to win through- out the season. The squad will be remembered as a hard-fighting, ever- striving crew. In recognition of his season's per- formance, the basketball squad elected CAPTAIN SAM HARRIS- A tall, rangy center, Sam sank many a basket as well as handled rebounds from that position. Against West- port he scored twelve points to spark a victorious Indian attack. His season's work was rewarded with an honor- able mention All-Star rating. Sam Harris honorary captain. BILL SUTHERLAND -- It was Bill's last-minute free- throw in the encounter with Manual that gave the Indians their first victory. An aggres- sive player and constant scor- ing threat, he was of great value to the team. JACK LEATHERS - After playing on the second team, jack was given a chance at a first-team berth. He made good, and continued the sea- son doing a fine job as forward. JOE DICKEY-At forward, Joe proved at all times to be a capable ball handler. He passed, dribbled, and shot with equal proficiency and was an asset to the squad in every game. Page 132 KENNETH DANNEBERG -A second team letterman of last year, Danny was guard on this year's squad. He displayed equal prowess on offense or defense and played good, steady ball throughout the season. JACK MOORE-This six foot, four inch giant was the tallest man on the squad and was always in there, fighting. As a junior, his height and ability in handling the ball with ease will assist in future court campaigns. BOB COOK-Bob was the smallest and one of the scrappiest players on the team. When on the defensive at his position as guard, his speed, shiftiness, and deter- mined play meant danger to the man with the ball. JIM JACKSON - Playing varsity basketball for the first year, this sophomore helped in achieving Redskin victories, and softening. defeats by his fine work at guard. He will return to next year's squad, a threat to any opposition scoring thrusts. JIM PETERSON-A new- comer to Southwest, jim developed into a fine defen- sive guard. His ability at keeping the enemy at a safe distance from the Indian goal was a great help in winning contests. Page 133 JOE BYARS-Receiving a reserve letter, joe saw his share of action. He was con- sistently in the thick of the battle and played a fast, exciting game as guard. FIRST TEAM Standing: Cook, Shockey, Danneberg, J. Leathers, Dickey, Schrader, Byars, Peterson.

SECOND TEAM BASKETBALL Prospects for next year's basketball squad are definitely bright. The second team handed successive defeats to South- east, East, and Paseo before being defeated by a Westport quintet. Games with Manual, Northeast, and Central were cancelled because of the impossi- bility of making proper time or trans- portaticn arrangements. In addition to the returning letter- men of the first team, the Bravelets Page of this year will comprise the varsity five next season. They have possibili- ties, so with hard work and much prac- tice, Southwest has the right to expect a championship-contending basketball squad next year. Boys receiving second team letters were: Bill Swope, jack Halper, Austin Shartel, Paul Hamilton, Gene Smith, Frank Hoffman, and Norval Jackson. 134 vi? sg 3 5 5 .yy ixi 'Q a .

Dick Mindlin automatically became team captain, posting the low score of 78. After practicing onxthe fairways and greens in the warm autumn sunshine, the team was set to go in the All-City meet. The Indian foursome placed second behind a strong Southeast aggre- gation in the meet, completing the four rounds on the Swope Park course with a total of 1,520 strokes. The squad did not enter the state meet held last fall. Those awarded letters were: Captain Mindlin, Dick Rosenbloom, Dick Silber- man, and Bill Sutherland. Other team members serving as alternates were: Ronald Hoff, Frank Hoffman, Dick Joslyn, and Austin Shartel.

After more than a dozen boys had battled for the six open positions, the emerging victors were Don Block and Jerry Fredman, as singles representatives, and the doubles combinations of John Benson- Charles McGill and Amos Roberts- Edwin Furnee. In the city tournament Benson and McGill were bested in the finals by a Westport team, as was Don Block in the singles event. The team then journeyed to Colum- bia, Missouri, to compete in the State tennis tournament. McGill-Benson, in doubles competition, and Block, in singles play, advanced to the semi-finals before being eliminated. For their skill in representing South- west on the courts, the following boys were awarded letters: Don Block, Jerry Fredman, john Benson, and Charles McGill.

In the first dual meet the Indians lost to Southeast, 545 to 56h. Dick Schmidt clipped five-tenths of a second off Frank Cortelyou's record in the quarter-mile, set in 1932. Trampling the Pirates of Paseo 56M to 345, the Braves racked up their initial victory. Taking seven firsts and a tie for first in the high jump, the Warriors had little trouble defeating the Buccaneers. C Nosed out by the East Bears, 47M to 432, the Redskins suffered their second defeat, but they staged a come- back against Northeast, defeating the Vikings by a score of 49 2-5 to 41 1-5. Page The Central Eagles defeated the War- riors by a one-point margin of 46 to 45 to conclude the track season. At the State meet, Southwest placed fifth and lead all Kansas City entries. The main victory for the Indians came when the 880-yard State Medley relay record was bettered by one-tenth of a second. The new State record of 1:56.51 is now held by Andrew Sikyta, Harry Grimes, Jack Dowling, and Dick Schmidt of Southwest. Kenny Webb finished second in the 880-yard run to complete Southwest's point making. Southwest's cindermen placed fourth in the city meet with 185 points. Indian Charles Keller won top honors in the shot-put and Dick Schmidt followed through with a first in the 440, these constituted Southwest's only firsts. For his consistently fine spirit and performance Kenny Webb was elected captain of the team. 137 l gm ada GIRL E. Josephine Betz Stressing physical fitness, intramural activities have been opened to all girls, whether or ,not they are enrolled in physical education classes. The wide field of sports include hockey, basketball, volleyball, swim- ming, apparatus, horseback riding, and a variety of individual sports. The orange and black shield is the highest award, signifying that the wearer has placed on six intramural teams. Previous to this award, an orange feather is received, upon which are placed black arrows, each designating Jane Joyce Maria Pusateri one team. If a girl has won six more team positions after obtaining her shield, she receives a black star. In the classes are squad leaders, who head the smaller divisions of each group, while the class manager carries authority under the instructor. Office assistants are chosen by the teachers to help record attendance and otherwise assist in the department. The all-city sports days give the girls an opportunity to match their abilities with girls of other high schools, although no championships are determined.

Southwest is justly of its Marching Band. It isn't their trim uniforms, surmounted waving white plumes, in which proud merely by the we rejoice. Once you see them march and hear them play, you realize that Band is no snap course. You should have seen the exhibition drill they put on at the Missouri State Teachers' Convention! Countermarch- ing, pivoting, criss-crossing-all exe- cuted with flawless but apparently effortless precision. Pretty it was, and the teachers thought so, too! Mr. Zahn, the director, received congratulatory let- ters from all over the state for weeks afterward. A performance like that takes work. Early last fall the band voted to drill before school and devote rehearsal periods to music practice. Theyive been at it ever since. Stroll by Southwest some Monday, Wednesday, or Friday morning at 7:30 and have a look. Attendance is voluntary, but it's regular. The drum major and assistant drum major put the members through their paces, and the results-well, we've already told you about the impression that band creates when it goes into action. Nor is that all. Their music is some- thing to brag about, too. Maybe you attended the Spring Concert. just about everybody did. Do you remember Dick Mindlin, the student director, who directed that novelty number, Three Blind Mice ? That was really a finished job of directing! The audience fell for it-and for the whole band. It has everything, that band: a good director, capable student officers, classy uniforms, and enthusiastic members who can take drill and rehearsal in their stride and like it. Do you wonder that we boast about that band? , . L S.. 4. f L 1- . . '-,- . -1.-K, www-14,?51f2a:5i::e11K , f , ..

Mary Lou Proctor Concertmaster Louise Looker President Um ORCHE TRA We all know that there exists at Southwest an organization called Our Orchestra. We pay it homage on such festive occasions as the Spring Concert, when it appears in its Sunday-best, its program enhanced by rhythmically- flashing colored lights. Its daily sessions behind locked doors whet our curiosity. So exclusive an organization seems worth investigation and we approach Director Zahn, whose masterly wielding of the baton we have long admired. He inquires which instrument we play. We offer to play all of them if we can thereby learn what transpires in 217 during sixth hour, but Mr. Zahn per- sists, Will you blow the corner, slide the trombone, or hammer on the zylo- phone? and we reply, i'We think we'll be the leader. But you won't! says he. So we're still confronting the locked door. Rumors persist, however, of a strange rite, challenging, which sounds like a game of leap-frog with violinists Page bouncing acrobatically back and forth. Actually, it is a ceremony whereby one of the members of the tribe is chal- lenged by another so that their ranks may be decided, often with more solem- nity than finality, by their fellow mem- bers. Challenger and challenged per- form unseen by their judges, who, com- paring the merits of their performances, arrive at a verdict disconcerting to one and exhilarating to the other. By such rituals is Our Orchestra preparing its members to meet the vicissitudes of life in days when even kings have failed to keep their thrones. So we are resolved to be inside that year even if we have We want to see the free-both casts-and Concert, but, most of be challenged and locked door next to be a violinist. senior play quite be in the Spring all, We Want to learn to keep our seat when all about us are losing theirs and blaming it Ofl US. 144 OFFICERS Louise Looker . . .... . .

Page 154 7fne REDSKI REVELS of'-41.2 Southwest was highly honored last November by the presence of Old Father Time Behrendt, who made a mid-year appearance to investigate the charges of Hitler, Hirohito, and Benito against Cupid Casford, inventor of Love. The case presented such great compli- cations that a session of the Court of Centuries was necessary to determine whether or not Love should remain on earth. Wfith cunning, Cupid commenced to lay the groundwork for the plea of the defense. To prove that Love has always been in the world, he first opened the Book of Years to a page that told about Indian Love. There was an illus- tration with the story picturing a group of redskin, maidens dancing in the shade of their native forest. The next chapter in the book was about the American pioneers, who indulged in such gay pastimes as square dances and singing. Cupid then showed the progress of Love through the years. Don Coplin, acting as a guide to the Gay Nineties, pointed out Barbara Heidenreich, the famous singer, Lois Nelson, noted for her dramatic readings, and james McAdam, actor and writer, who glori- fied the beauties of Love in his roman- tic melodrama, Calamity junctionf' The play related the heart-rending diffi- culties of harried Sadie O'Grady before the intrepid hero, Clarence Glynch, came to her assistance and routed the villain. Next Cupid analyzed Love, and showed its many phases. He started with the most interesting type, Love of Food. After Teddy Reichman had put Father Time in the mood by sing- ing Summertime, a group of black- faced actors illustrated Cupid's point with a musical skit. Page Before Cupid could resume his appeal to Father Time, Sue Taylor, as the crazy rabbit, Bugs Bunny, broke her way into the limelight to file a com- plaint. Between bites of carrot she bewailed the fact that all the birds and animals of her home forest were utwitterpatedf' To show what she meant, Bugs introduced Betty Lynn and Betty Hays, two amorous bluebirds. In the musical story of the Lying Little Daisy, Nancy Tiernan told the court that even the flowers are affected by Love. So the interruption was really to Cupid's advantage. To demonstrate another type of Love, Cupid had stage manager Kay Barney called to the witness stand. Kay's testi- mony concerned the intricate functions of the stage crew and their Love of work. .Seeing that Father Time was growing more and more interested in the case, Cupid hastened to bring to the notice of the court a more serious side of Love, Love and War. Joan Woodward and Bill Sutherland dramatized the let- ters between a girl and her soldier father, and Sergeant Rosenblum with his company of very green rookies per- formed a hilarious drill. Privates For- ney and Veatch fell out of line to sing a sentimental ballad, Sam, You Made the Pants Too Long. Going from the dull gray of war to the vivid scarlet of Latin America, Cupid presented a Mexican scene. The Glee Club sang, Bobette Lewis tapped around a Mexican sombrero, and Geor- gia Lee Wfestmoreland gave an inter- pretation of a Spanish dance that had Father Time's eyes literally popping out of his head. In conclusion Cupid opened the cur- tains on an American tableau, while Harriet Harlow and Donald Gibbs sang 155 the democratic ditty, People Like You and Me. Mary Louise Braunagal and the Three Romances, Marcella Ross, Nancy Williams ,and Jeanne jones, also did some patriotic vocalizing. After the choir had painted the court red, white, The dance of the Indian maidens. and blue with its rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, Father Time handed down his decision on the case. He didn't hesitate, he was thoroughly con- vinced by Cupid's arguments. Love, he said, is here to stay! CAST OF THE REDSKIN REVELS Father Time ..............

If you wish to know how not to act and what not to say in an institution of higher learning, read this enlighten- ing episode from the hectic life of Henry Aldrich. Henry's serious trials and tribula- tions began one day while he was sit- ting peacefully in the moderately quiet study hall. Suddenly the unsympathetic supervisor sprang from her chair, and charging down the aisle to the seat where Henry was busily engaged in drawing a humorous caricature of the assistant principal, ordered the luckless artist to descend to the principal's office for creating a disturbance. Henry, of course, was bewildered. So was the office, until the ill-starred picture of Mr. Nelson was produced from Hehry's book by George Bigelow. Henry's work of art excited Mr. Bradley, the principal, so greatly that he threatened to send a condemning note to Mrs. Aldrich. In the face of this danger, Henry rallied about him a force of little white lies, but just as he was advancing the information that his mother was practically bed-ridden, the lady in question walked into the office, seemingly in perfect health. The white lies fled before the overwhelming force of the truth, and poor Henry was Miss Eggleston Bill . . . Mrs. Aldrich Mr. Patterson Miss Pike . Miss Johnson Gertie . . Mr. Vecchitto Mary... .

He was allowed to continue attending Madison High School on pro- bation, that is, until he made another mistake. Furthermore, Mrs. Aldrich refused to finance her son's date with Barbara Pearson unless he should make the top grade in an impending test in Ancient Roman history. Armed with a battered text book, Henry vigorously attacked the combined forces of Marius, Hannibal, and the Roman Empire. The sturdy Romans emerged victorous from the conflict and Henry, driven by the relentless power of love, was tempted to cheat on the crucial examination. His luck was con- sistent at least, consistently bad, for he was apprehended and consequently sus- pended from school for a period of sixty days. In spite of the fact that he had yet to put across a successful untruth, Henry could not tell pretty little Barbara the truth about his forthcoming banishment from education, nor could he tell her that a lack of funds prevented him from taking her to the dance. No plausible excuse presented itself, so Henry took to the fantastic. With innocent eyes wide open and a face glowing with earnest- ness, he glibly told her that his uncle in Denver was slowly expiring. As a Page 158 He stole my mp, too. What zz life. ' matter of fact, said the boy, with a sigh, my uncle might last for sixty days. ,Then came the climax to Henry's misfortunes-a tough-looking detective in a tough-looking derby accused Henry of stealing and pawning over half of Madison High's band instruments. The cold gray walls of reform school loomed forebodingly in the near future. Mrs. Aldrich, on being informed of her son's numerous crimes, had to be escorted to the school infirmary for some appropriate treatment. While she was gone, Henry had a long talk with Mr. Nelson. This understanding assistant principal encouraged him to develop the talent that enabled him to sketch his teachers so skillfully. At first Henry was dubious, then enthusiastic. Page Henry's spirits were beginning to rise when the man with the derby unex- pectedly reappeared, dragging George Bigelow with him. He explained, in a voice just as obnoxious as his hat, that Bigelow was the scoundrel who had pawned the band instruments. Henry's happiness was complete when Mr. Nel- son dropped. two tickets to the dance and refused to claim them, saying that he was sure that they had fallen from Henry's pocket. This story has a moral, and the moral is this: Don't let anything prevent you from attending a play given by the senior class of Southwest. Those who did not attend this year were extremely unfortunate, for Miss Castle, the cast, and the production staff made What a Life a huge success. 159 lueel' ifze TAGE ELECTRICAL CRE If the footlights Wink at you, or if the flowers in the scenery look so real that you can almost smell them, blame the stage crew. These theatrical super- men are generally found in the vicinity of the auditorium, lurking in the shadow of the backdrop or the gloom of the Wings. Give them a can of paint and a few pieces of plyboard and they can make the stage look like any- thing from a forest to a Mexican patio. The work of the stage crew is com- plex. While one group is busy with the scenery, other groups wrestle with the ropes and pulleys that control the cur- tains, and clever electricians tame the prancing spotlights and think up spe- cial lighting effects. Even after the performance is over and the audience has filed out through the exits, there is work to be done by the stage crew. They must clean up the stage, sweeping away such debris as the actors may have scattered over the platform. Frequently the faithful crew devotes its Saturdays to making Southwest's plays and assemblies more enjoyable for you, so the next time the purple plush curtain falls, remember to give three cheers for our stage crew.

WE HEREBY PRCPGSE . . . Mary Breed Rosemary Flanigan Edward Brodie Don Gibbs Don Coplin Paula jones One of the most popular and most important activities of the public speak- ing department is the study and appli- cation of the principles of debate. Many hours of research were spent this year on the nation-wide debate topic, Resolved: That a federal world govern- ment should be established. This timely topic proved to be one of the foremost subjects facing wide-awake, open-minded people of all nations. The affirmative teams asserted that the establishment of a federal world government would be the most prac- tical means of maintaining peace in the post-war world. The negative debaters, however, contended that geographic, political, and economic boundaries would make such a plan impossible. After heated debates and roundtable discussions had been held within the first and fifth hour public speaking Margaret Lawler Marshall Small Louise Miller Paul Wellman Dick Morrison Dan Welty classes, intramural debates were iheld prior to the selection of the final team pictured above. The debaters were judged on their knowledge of the subject, analysis of the question, amount and value of evi- dence, audience adaptation, refutation of opposing case, delivery, strategy, direct clash and consistency of argu- ment. The members of the team have debated before different groups and organiza- tions and have thus gained much val- uable experience. The roundtable discussions and debates culminated in a conference sim- ilar to one that will probably be held at the cessation of hostilities. No momentous conclusions were drawn, but many problems were brought forth, and the general concensus of opinion was that all nations must have a tolerant attitude toward their neighbors.

Page I 63 Verse-Very Superior INVITATION TO PEACE By Louis Duff Meadow flowers waft their fragrance, Urging bees to linger there, Waving branches of the willows Offer birds a restful lair. Gentle winds stir through the grasses, Aiding field mice in their playg Splashing brooks invite the frogs To seize enjoyment from the day. Streams of sunlight crown the hills W With promise to eternal spring, Bask the tiny meadow creatures While, aloft, the heavens sing. Rumbles like the distant thunder Herald the approaching foe, Clouds o'ershadow all the meadow, Moaning winds foretell the woe, Invaders tramp through peaceful country Plundering all the gifts of God, And in passing, leave a path of Weeping natives of the sod. All serenity uprooted, Gone the happiness of yoreg Lost the freedom and the safety In barbaric deeds of war. These elements are uninvited, We crave peace! the field folk cry, Then other men pass through the meadow Fire fights fire, is their reply. So the battle still continues And the meadows wait and pray, We're but grown up folk of Nature Who await deliverance day. Let tranquil meadows be restored And freedom's flag unfurledg May present dreams be future states When peace pervades the world. Page 164 Ovation-Very Superior FROM THESE HONORED DEAD By Rees Behrendt Although he died a quarter of a cen- tury ago, he is as much alive today as he was when he went over the top for the last time. Why is he remembered when so many of his buddies are for- gotten? The boy himself could never have received the devotion and glory that the American people confer upon him. No, he couldn't, but his spirit could. They see in him the essence of their loved ones that were killed on the bloody fields of the Argonne, Chateau Thiery, and all the others. It is his spirit that they honor when they place a wreath on his grave on Armistice Day. Yes, this youth will live as long as his spirit lives, and that spirit will never die as long as it carries its telling mes- sage to generation after generation of peace-loving Americans. This boy was a product of the twen- tieth century, yet in a sense he existed long before this. The very first time we me this youth was when we were but thirteen small colonies instead of a mighty nation stretching from sea to sea. When there were no roaring fac- tories of the east, but only a wheelwright here, a smithy there. Those colonies were at times antagonistic toward each other, but when a threat came to them, a threat of losing their freedom, they forgot their petty difficulties and joined together. Yes, they were small, but they had courage. At that time our boy was a farmer, inculcated with the same ideals we see in the youth of the first World War. Page This tiller of the soil was soon to exchange his knotted and well-worn pitchfork for a gun and become a part of the gallant band of Americans we now call the Minutemen. In a very insignificant grazing pasture the redcoats fired a volley of shots at the farmer. As he lay on the cool green pasture his life's blood slowly trickling from him, the spirit grew into something larger than he. It became a motivating force, a spirit that was born in the blood of America to be taken up by another youth when again our free land was in danger. The years rolled on, and then came the first war that the newly formed United States was to face, the War of 1812. This time a young doctor instilled with this same idealogy died quite obscurely and without any notice fight- ing for a cause that is just while his spirit moved on to face a new task. A task of preserving not only our freedom but also our unity. And again a boy was to die. He was a fiery Irish lad who was just as sure his side was right as was the Ohio boy who killed him in the Battle of Gettysburg. It was then that the first great tribute was bestowed on him. A tribute that a tall gaunt man delivered in dedication of a national cemetery. A tribute that ended: We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth. 165 l With the turn of the century we saw another unsung hero ride the road to Vallhala not fifteen minutes after he had ridden over the hill to San juan with Teddy Roosevelt as a Rough Rider. Another war, another dead, but not in vain. The First World War. What a chal- lenge that presented. At a large New York dock a sad-eyed boy joined the rest of his company in singing those immor- tal words of Goerge M. Cohan's And we won't come back 'til it's over over there. No, he didn't come back until it was over over there and when he did he was dead. Yes, he was dead but his spirit, only sleeping, it would not die. And now it is that spirit that is in the hearts of all the Colin Kellys, the Don Masons, the Jimmy Doolittles, the Doc- tor Wassells, and those expendable men on Bataan and Corregidor, on Guadal- canal and Wake Islands, it is that spirit that is behind the common fighting men in Africa, England, the Pacific, China, and wherever else the hell of war has struck. It is that spirit that will win the war. It is the unconquerable spirit of the Unknown Soldier. Oration-Very Superior ON WINNING THE PEACE By Margaret Lawler Today we are fighting a war. We are fighting the most destructive war in the annals of history. We are fighting to preserve the things, the ideals, that have made our country and our way of living what they are today. We are also fight- ing a war to end all wars. Because if we are successful in establishingaour ideals over the entire world, then there will be no more war. This all sounds very familiar, doesn't it? It sounds familiar because twenty-six years ago this very month we became part of another war to end all wars. To us, in high school, World War I seems remote, because we think of it as just another page out of a history book. But if in another twenty-six years we are fighting a third war to end all wars, and in another twenty-six years from that time we are fighting a fourth war to end war, we will look back on World War I and it will seem near, because by that Page time the whole thing will be merged together into one struggle so great and bloody that it will be hard for us to recall and imagine just what peace is like. In the history books and encyclo- pedias, the short generation between wars will be completely ignored, or per- haps recorded as a period in which both sides stopped for awhile to rebuild, to renew manpower, to invent more deadly weapons, to conjure up more fiendish means of destruction to use in the next round of the battle. And we will think, if our minds are not so twisted and demoralized that we cannot think, and we will ask ourselves, XVhy must this be? Why, at the armis- tice of World War I, or World War II, or III, could not a permanent peace have been established and since maintained? What did we fail to do? We've won each war . . . why are we still fighting? And the answer to our half-wild, eter- 166 nal questions will come down the years from men like Woodrow Wilson, and they will say: Yes, you won the war, but you lost the peace! Therefore our goal must be, in this present struggle, not only to win the war, but to win the peace which will follow the war. I know what you are thinking. You are saying to yourselves, Let's win the war first, after that there will be plenty of time to win the peace. But you are mistaken. That is exactly what we did the first time. Like Scarlett O'Hara, we preferred not to thing about it 'til we came to it. We must think about it now! We cannot ask the starv- ing, homeless, disease-ravaged millions of Europe and Asia to wait while we decide what they should do. In their extreme desperation, they would take matters into their own hands, which would perhaps be even more disastrous to the world than a continuation of the war itself. The plan of peace must be ready to go into effect immediately after the Armistice. But speed is not the only ingredient necessary to the making of a successful and continuous peace. For peace, accord- ing to Webster, is a harmony in human or personal relations, mutual concord or amity. Mutual concord, that one word, mutual, must be the entire basis for our peace. Whatever plan the United Nations decide upon, fand may God grant that the United Natoins will be doing the decidingj, must be confined to a mutual- ity of purpose and wholeheartedly sup- ported by every nation involved, victors and vanquished alike. The most impor- tant requisite to a permanent and lasting peace, as we should have learned from our mistakes of the past, is international co-operation. The United States may take a large Page share of the blame for the failure of the peace after World War I. It is agreed by experts that the League of Nations could never have been completely suc- cessful because it lacked the force with which to back its legislation. But in the main, the League failed because no coun- try, particularly the United States, was willing to give complete co-operation. We cannot make the same mistake twice! Already suggestions have been made for a world federation after this war. And already a storm of protest has arisen from the American people. They refuse to join a union which might endanger the sovereignty of their own nation. Their own nation, which was formed of sovereign states, which were willing to sacrifice a part of their sov- ereignty in order that it might be vested in a government more powerful, more important, and more democratic than each enjoyed alone. No, I am not necessarily advocating a federation of nations after the warg but I am advocating co-operation and willingness to sacrifice individually for the sake of the whole. If we are stubborn and demanding and isolationistic at the peace conference, we will not only be defeating our own purpose in fighting this war, but we will be endangering the hope of world peace for generations to come. Only when one's hands are open are they capable of receiving. And one's hands can be opened only in the act of giving. It is the same with nations. The more a nation opens its hands and heart to the pleas of other countries for world recognition and the common needs of mankind, the more a nation's hands and heart will be open to receive the benefits that must surely come from a peace founded on world co-operation and mutual concord! 167 Verse-Very Superior SAND CASTLES By Betsey Sheidley A little child sits by the sea, A spade clenched in his chubby handg His merry eyes are bright with glee For toes are tickled by the sand. These dimpled hands, are they to grasp A bayonet and hand grenade, Or hold in firm and steady clasp A surgeon's scalpel's sharpened blade? These plump, pink toes, are they to tread A muddy, bloody battlegroundg Down country lanes where flow'rs are found? Or stroll, with green boughs overhead, These twinkling eyes, are they to see Men hate and kill and starve and dieg Or will they view a world that's free And calm beneath the deep blue sky? But future days one can't foresee, That's much too hard to understand. 'Tis more important when you're three To build tall castles in the sand. Page 168 Short Story-Very Superior THE RING - By Marian Clement My grandfather tells me many stories. Most of them are about his grandfather, my great-great-grandfather, a rare old gentleman who was a sailor, a soldier in two wars, a cowboy, and, when he died at ninety, a millionaire. The story of the ring is not the first, nor the last, nor even the most hair-raising of my great-great-grandfathers adventures. It is, however, my favorite of all the stories, and from much repetition, I know it by heart. One evening in early spring in the year 1831, my great-great-grandfather, who was not then, of course, a great- great-grandfather, but just a big over- grown Irish boy of fifteen, cold, hungry, and homeless, sought shelter for the night behind a packing case on the wharf in New York harbor. The boy, even then, called Big Tobe because of his great size, had walked from his farm home, upstate, in what is now Duchess County, driven by a consuming hatred of his cruel stepmother, and a boundless ambition to make his fortune. It was the saddest and loneliest of all the hours to the homeless, not still day nor yet night, when all creatures turn toward home whether it be cottage, barn, or nest. Sea gulls, circling overhead in the greying pink-flushed sky, called plaintive good-nights to each other. A cold wind from the sea cut through the boy's coat like a sharp knife, and hunger was a pain gnawing at his stomach. Big Tobe, as he always did in hours of trouble, twisted the gold ring which Page he wore on his little finger, and, as it never failed to do, a vision came to comfort him. He saw his mother's hands, --all he could remember of her-white and slender, folded quietly in her lap, with the ring gleaming on her finger. For a moment he felt himself to be a small and happy child again, warm and safe at his m0ther's knee. Then he prayed, as-my grandfather says-all good Irishmen do, talking to God and bargaining with Him. He explained to the Heavenly Father that he was very hungry. Indeed, he was likely to die of hunger! He prayed that he might have food without having to sell his mother's ring which was all he had left. He asked God to understand what a cold and cheerless thing life would be without the ring. To sell it would be to exchange hunger of the body for hunger of the soul. He prom- ised that when he had made his fortune -as he would most certainly do, if he did not starve to death first-he would build a fine church with beautiful colored glass windows and an altar of marble. XVeak and light-headed, the boy did not realize that he was speaking aloud, and he was startled to hear a small voice answering him. God cannot hear you, it said. He is not here, in this ugly place. Big Tobe hastily crossed himself and looked around for the speaker, thinking it must, in truth, be the Devil. But the voice came from a little maid, not more 169 than seven years old, a thin and pale child, all big blue eyes and heavy red hair. Hush, child! said Big Tobe, shocked at such impiety. God is everywhere. Surely, you know that. He isn't here, the little girl persisted, and she began to cry bitterly. I pray to see my mother and He does not answer me. I want my mother. Hearing the child's wails, a young man rushed up, took her in his arms, and tried to comfort her. My little sister is making herself ill with grievingf' he explained to Big Tobe with a worried frown, relating the saddest story the boy had ever heard. Months before, with a company of colonists, the young man, his little sister, and their entire family of eleven mem- bers had left Ireland bound for new homes in Texas, spirits high with hope. On board ship, fever broke out taking a fearful toll of the passengers. One after another, nine members of the family were buried at sea. Then storms had swept the ill-fated vessel from her course. Now, bereaved and weary, the voyagers found themselves in New York, many miles from their goal with yet another long, dark journey and God, alone, knew what further troubles ahead. The child was homesick and frightened and apt, her brother feared, to die of grief. Big Tobe's very heart melted with pity as he listened and he longed to help the little girl whose troubles were so much greater than his own. Impulsively, he slipped the ring from his finger and put it on the child's thumb. Look, child, he said very earnestly for he, himself, more than half believed what he said, keep this ring, and you can see your mother, merely, by closing your eyes tight and wishing hard. The child was diverted from her sor- row as little ones often are by a bright trinket and the telling of a fairy tale. A calm radiance chased the tears from her face as the boy went on somewhat clumsily weaving a story for her. And who knows, he said, what other wishes may come true for you! A handsome prince with a feather in his cap may come riding a milk-white horse and take you to his fine palace. What a beautiful princess you will be with a blue silk gown and your wild red hair a-waving in the wind. When the brother and sister had to leave, disappearing into the fast gather- ing dusk, Big Tobe felt more desolate than before. Surely, now, he thought, he would never eat again, nor would he again be comforted by the ring, which he would not sell, though he starve, but had thus rashly given away. He was mistaken. At that moment, two richly dressed gentlemen approached and engaged him in conversation, admiring his great size and the strength of his muscles, and, in a most flattering man to man manner, inviting him to drink with them at a nearby tavern. At the tavern, they gave him food, all he could eat, and wine. Later he discovered that the wine had been drugged, for when he awoke from the stupor into which he presently fell, he was on a boat many miles from land. So full of unspeakable hardship and terror was the life of a seaman of that day, it was only by such desperate methods that a ship owner could man his vessels. Big Tobe might have escaped from the sea in a foreign port as many of his fellow sailors did. But he had only one desire in life, to get back to America. Faith in his destiny was strong in him, and faith in God, and in America. He believed that God had saved him from starvation in answer to his prayer. That the manner was strange and cruel was, perhaps, but a punishment to him for Page ITO giving away the very treasure he had prayed to keep. Now, more than ever, he must make his fortune to build the promised church. And Big Tobe knew, as did all the humble and oppressed peo- ple of the earth, that there was but one country where a poor man might become a rich man-America. So he followed the sea for five long and bitter years. When at last the boat docked in New Orleans with a cargo of slaves, and he escaped, he was a man in stature, strong in body and stout of heart. In New Orleans, in a spirit of adven- ture, he joined a band of carefree, young vagabonds who were on their way to Texas to fight in the war with Mexico. His first glimpse of Texas was in blue- bonnet time, and he knew that he had found his home, for nowhere else in all the world had he seen so fair a country, where the land was bluer than the sky. After the Battle of San Jacinto, my great-great-grandfather gladly accepted a grant of land as payment for his service with the army. lt was good cattle land, and he was the kind of man the land needed, strong, fearless, keen Witted, hard riding, straight shooting. Success was hard won, but not long in coming. The passing years brought him more land, more and more cattle. More and more money filled his coffers. And the time came when he could build a small, but beautiful church on his ranch near Victoria. For its dedica- tion, the bishop and priests came from San Antonio. Ranchmen from far and near brought their families on horseback and in wagons. With Negro slaves, Mex- ican cow hands, and Indians, they attended the Solemn High Mass and stayed for the barbecue that followed. That night there was dancing in a pavilion, built especially for the occasion. Rich in friends, wealthy and power- ful, a rather homely, red-faced giant of Page a man, with legs bowed from years in the saddle, Big Tobe moved among his guests proud but not entirely happy. He had no wife or family, and his heart was cold and lonely. He was considered bashful, but, the truth is, he was a woman hater. When the little girl took away his ring, she took with it the last of his childhood, the memory of his gentle mother and of all that was kind and good in women. But fifteen years of wandering and adventure on sea and on land could not erase the memory of his stepmother. In every woman's fea- tures, no matter how pretty, he saw his stepmother's cruel face. In every woman's voice, no matter how sweet, he heard her scolding. My great-great-grandfather might have remained a lonely bachelor all his life but for the presence among the guests at the dance of a young lady who owned a ranch as large as his own. She was little and gay and, by far, the prettiest girl there. She was-my great- great-grandfather told my grandfather, who told me- as pretty a gal, as you have ever seen, with sorrel colored hair, and eyes as blue as bluebonnets, prettier than a whitefaced Hereford calf and spirited as a pinto ponyf' When Big Tobe was introduced to her, she held out her small brown hand to him. It was a ranch woman's hand, rough and calloused, but, inexplicably, he was reminded of his mother's soft, white hand. For the first time in his life, he found himself dancing with a woman and, not once, did he think of his step- mother. The coldness and loneliness left his heart, never to return, for that very night, he asked her to marry him. She answered him strangely. I always knew, we would meet again, she laughed. I didn't really expect you to wear a feather in your cap or to ride a milk-white horse, but 171 I did think you would be a mite hand- somer. Big Tobe understood when she gave him a ring which she wore on a chain around her neck. I want this ring to be my wedding ring, she said. And so they were married in the new little church. And for three generations, a fortunate bride in our family has worn my gteat-great-grandmother's old fash- ioned wedding ring. Tradition has it that her marriage is sure to be a happy one. When my grandfather finishes this story, he does not like for me to say, What a coincidencell' If I do, he looks sternly over his glasses at me. And what, pray, he roars, if I may ask, is a coincidence, but the hand of God? Page l72 Freslamrm Essay-Very Superior AMERICA By Virginia Ogden Have you ever stopped for a minute to think, what you are talking about when you speak of America? What does America mean to you? Does it mean the Declaration of Inde- pendence, which gave us freedom, or the Constitution, which set up our form of government, or the Bill of Rights, which guarantees personal liberty, or is it all of these things and more? Is it George Washington, our first president, or Abraham Lincoln, who kept us united, or Woodrow Wilson, who saw us through our most serious war, or is it all of our great leaders? Perhaps, to you, America is the peo- ple: the paupers, the millionaires, and the common people. Or perhaps it is the characteristics of the people: patriotism, loyalty, self-assurance, and maybe a lit- tle selfishness and lack of co-operation. Or could America mean, to you, the country itself: the forests of giant trees, the fields of grain bending in the wind, the great skyscrapers, representing all of man's skill in architecture, the steel mills and oil wells, the colored leaves of autumn, the wild flowers, the shining lakes, and the blazing sunsets? Is America, to you, the monuments inspired by time? Is it the Lincoln Monu- ment at Washington, or the Rushmore Memorial in South Dakota, or the Wash- ington Monument, or is it the Statue of Liberty, standing at the gateway to America as a symbol of peace? Perhaps America means to you, the Grand Canyon, or the Black Hills, or Carlsbad Cavern. Perhaps it is Yellow- stone Park, or Niagara Falls, or the Mississippi River. Maybe it means, to you, a day at the ball park, or a hot dog, or a picnic in the country, or a strawberry soda shared with your best girl. Maybe it is a foot- ball game, a day at school, a good movie, or your highest score in bowling. Maybe it is a bed and a good book, or a movie magazine with a picture of your favorite star on the cover. To me, it is all of these things. It is the documents that founded it, it is the people, who have made it what it is today, it is the land which gave those people life, it is a good ball game and hot dogs, and it is all the other things too. But to me it is more than that. It is a democracy where people may worship as they please, where every man, no mat- ter what his race, has an equal chance, and, above all, where a Constitution, guaranteeing freedom to all men, is the supreme law of the land! Page I 73 , Freshman Short Story-Very Superior 8:15 By Merry Ann Waterman Samuel awoke with a start. He had been dreaming of that happy time of peace and plenty before the bombs had fallen on Warsaw. For a few minutes as he lay half awake he felt only relief that the bomb which woke him was part of the dream. He wondered if he would ever go to sleep again and not dream of those horrible three weeks when Warsaw was bombed day and night. Samuel, the low weak voice of his mother interrupted his thoughts. Hurry, for it is growing dark and you must be back before the curfew rings at eight o'clock. Samuel crawled out of the shabby bed which he shared with his three brothers. They spent as much time in bed as pos- sible not only to keep warm in the bleak, unheated room, but also to save their strength. Their poor under-nourished bodies were tired and weak, they had never fully recovered from the terrible Spotted Fever which had swept through the Ghetto six months before. Samuel's heart filled with bitterness as he recalled that dreadful time. They had been so awfully sick in that crowded, dirty, little room. Poor Mother, ill as she was, had tried to look after them but she had so little to work with-no medicine, no convenience, not even food. Little Anna's life might have been saved if she could have had the proper medi- cine. Mother had gone to the authorities and begged for it, but they had thrown her into the street. Page The Germans did not want his people to live. Hitler often repeated his inten- tion to exterminate the jews. The perse- cutions had begun as soon as the New Order gained control. With only a few hours notice, all Jews had been ordered to leave their comfortable homes and move into this horrible old section of the city. More than half a million people had been crowded into this slum. They had been allowed to bring only such clothing and bedding as they could carry. The Germans had taken everything else. He would never forget that day-all afternoon they had walked the crowded streets trying to find a new home. Finally, long after dark they had found this little attic room. The next morning he saw men building parts of a wall and in a few days they were cut off from the rest of the world by an eight foot wall. They had all been required to wear a yellow armband and were not allowed to go outside the walls even to attend to business. One night his father did not come home and they had not heard from him since. Samuel, his mother repeated. Yes, Mother, I was just going. He must hurry now for he was to meet Mark and the other boys who smuggled in the food that kept them alive. He pulled up his belt another notch for they had had nothing to eat since last night and then only a thin soup made of potatoes and a few cabbage leaves and a slice of bread. He gave a shudder at the thought of that bread. It was dark, 174 heavy, and smelled like turnips. Since the flour was 40 per cent sawdust, it stuck to the roof of his mouth and had to be washed down with water. He hoped they would be lucky and find some good nourishing food. lf they could only get some meat, but that was too much to hope for. Is that you, Samuel? came a voice from the darkness. Yes, it is I. Well, hurry for we are late. They wound their way in and out of the bombed houses until they came to the house which contained the passageway that led under the wall. Samuel crawled over the rubbish that the boys had put in front of the door to conceal it. As he ran through the damp, musty cellar he was thinking, I must get some food. But Mark's whisper interrupted his thoughts. Is the way clear? As Samuel started to step out on the street, he heard the sound of marching feet. He quickly ducked back into the passageway and waited until the goose- stepping Storm Troopers had passed. He gave a quick glance up and down the street and gave the signal, All clear. There are so many Storm Troopers out it would not be safe to go together. We must separate-every fellow for him- self, said Mark, who was the leader of the gang. Samuel hurried on his way. He thought he knew where he could find some food. He had some good Polish friends who owned a small farm at the edge of the city. They would be glad to share what they had. He was not disap- pointed. The kindly woman quickly fixed him a sack containing some nice white flour, some carrots, and a young wild rabbit. With a thankful heart, he hurried home with his precious food. The next morning he was awakened by loud weeping. Mark's mother was in the room and in her hand she held a small card. Poor Mark had not reached home before the curfew. His body had been returned to his parents with a small card pinned to his suit. The card simply said 8:15. Page 175 Freshman Verse-Very Superior ROADS OF THOUGHT By Virginia Ogden I stood on the hill of a winding road, And studied each curve and bend, But when I had reached the last of these I found that it had no end. Perhaps it led to a fairy land Where children's dreams come true, Or perhaps to a giant ogre's den Covered with films of dew. Maybe it led to a wilderness Where witches love to play, Or to a kingdom in the sky Upon the milky way. Or maybe it never had an end, But just kept winding on, So others could stand and dream a while When I had long since gone.

Once upon a time there lived two geniuses. Although no one else knew they were genuises, they certainly did. They were happy and gay until they met Jess Stapo, younger brother of Gus Stapo, both of the house of Gestapo. He invited Genuis, Inc., in the pleasant Ges- tapo manner, to become saboteurs for the Third Reich. Genius, Inc., speedily accepted fspeedily, because Jess reminded them that anyone defying the house of Gestapo would promptly be commis- sioned in the Italian Armyj. The day for their departure to the United States as saboteurs finally arrived. The weather was clear except for a few large insects fcommonly called the R.A.F. outside the Reichj flitting above. The insects had one queer characteris- tic, they flew low and dropped eggs that caused many deaths. The Fuhrer said that Gestapoland could not be bombed, so the objects that flew over- head were insects. After they received their instructions from jess Stapo, Genius, Inc., accom- panied by Gus Stapo, climbed aboard the Fuhrer's newest flying weapon, the SS, fSchickelgruber,s Superchargerj. Their destination was the greatest corn factory in the United States, Southwest High. Page After an endless journey the Schickel- gruber Supercharger with Genius, Inc., aboard arrived at their destination, South- west High School. Genius, Inc., after donning an ingenius disguise, approached the office of chief executive Monsees. To successfully complete their mission they had to seize the documents fsnitch the plans, which control the output of corn in his mammoth factory. By means of their ingenious disguise, Genius, Inc., slightly befuddled the chief executive. On their way to the Say Chum room, where all the important documents are kept, they heard some of the big oper- ators harvesting quite a quantity of corn. While one half of Genius, Inc., fto the intelligencia, one geniusj held King Korn Shook and his subordinates at bay with a vicious looking water gun, the other genius grabbed the precious docu- ments fGenius, Inc., snitched the plans, folksj and fled to safety in the SS. The voyage home was uneventful except for the fact that Gus Stapo after scanning the documents uttered a cry of unspeakable rage. fSince his cry was unspeakable it will not be discussed furtherj. Genius, Inc., had seized Exam- ples of Corn instead of Corn Control. The fateful document is as follows: 178 REMEMBER WHEN? C was merely the third letter of the alphabet? The Sachem wasn't wonderful? We were freshmen and thought school was easy? We got out of school at 3:05? We had men over six feet tall in the halls? Zend-Avesta didn't walk away with the cup? Wfe didn't have to come to school before dawn? When a bowl of chili cost only a nickel? When there were no five weeks letters? W When Margaret Carswell wasn't sur- rounded by army officers in senior business committee meeting? Gus Stapo, however, having the char- acteristic Gestapo style, continued his affectionate ways by radioing the Fuhrer to have a warm reception awaiting our Geniuses. He tried to console Genius, Inc., for their failure by applying the horse whip at fifteen minute intervals. As Genius, Inc., circled the field they saw the Fuhrer giving last minute orders to some of his elite guard. Genius, Inc., stepped off the SS and got a warm reception fa hail of red hot leadj. Not daunted by this seemingly ungrateful attitude and as a last display of love for the Fuhrer they shouted Heil, Heil right in the Fuhrer's face. King Korn Shook thus gained an important victory through corn for the Allied Nations. Attention all readers: At this time we of the Sachem staff find it impossible to divulge the names of the two authors because of the fearful consequences that might develop. Page 179 THE SACHEM HOUR Between sixth hour and four o'clock, While you struggle through seventh hour Comes a pause in the day's occupation That is known as the Sachem Hour. We hear in the classroom above us The whirring of sewing machines. And here a door's being opened, And Shook says, Be quiet, you fiends. A giggle, and then a silence, And we look into each other's eyes. We are plotting and planning together To take Shook by surprise. A sudden rush for the doorway As we hear the bell in the halls! By the narrow door left unguarded Some escape from our dungeon walls! The rest dive under the table Or try hiding behind a chair. As we try to escape he grabs us, He seems to be everywhere. I have you fast in 306 And unless you start to work, I'll throw you into study hall. Says Shook, with a frightening smirk. And I'll keep you here forever, Yes, forever and a day, Till the Sachem finally goes to press. Then you can go away. , Do you think, beloved reader, That Longfellow doth mind Our taking his Childrenic Hour To describe our daily grind?

The day's toil is ended and happi- ness abounds. In the small room by the first floor steps, the abode of the army officers, all is quiet. Then the door creaks, a head peeks in and peers about, cautious not to advance into ambush. Satisfied of safety, the owner of the head walks in, flops his books on the shelf, lazily stretches out on the couch, and begins to thumb through Esquire. His peace is short-lived, however, as other officers tramp in and converse noisily. Filby and Merriman switch on the radio and a band blares forth loudly. Lieutenant Brown, who has been sitting at the major's desk, calls out: Hey, turn that thing down. Aw, it's good. Come on, turn it down, joins in Lieutenant Herrmann, who has taken sides with Brown. Seeing that their supplications are futile, Herrmann and Brown quickly deploy as skirmishersn and begin an attack. Filby entrenches himself near the radio while Merriman takes up a defensive position behind the hat rack to await the attack which soon begins. This foray is quickly ended, how- ever, when the hat rack is tipped over and the four officers in question hur- riedly depart. Captains Rosenbloom and Mackey enter a few minutes later and discover with dismay that their head- gears have suffered. Rosenbloom vows a grim vengeance as he brushes off his tattered hat. Then one ambitious lad rushes in, waving a book wildly. I got it, I got it, Morrison and Com- mager, the greatest history book of them all ! Page Lemme see, growls Rosenbloom. The possessor of the book graps it protectingly under his arm but, alas, too late. Rosenbloom snatches the book away and holds it high above his head. You gimme that book. Go away or I'll tear out the pages. No, don't. At this moment the owner makes a frantic dive for the book, but it is tossed into the stomach of peaceful Lane, resting on the couch. With a howl of pain, Lane leaps into action. Who threw that book? Was it you, Fried? No, it was that 'fredf Rosenbloom. O, yea, I saw you Fried. Immediately Lane and Fried grapple in close combat, rolling on the floor and howling. Finally Fried, in despera- tion, calls on Mackey for aid. Then Jacks, Pitman, and Rosenbloom join in. A battle royal develops as the contest- ants pitch about the room, upsetting furniture. One battler makes a dart for the saber rack and draws his weapon. Stand back or I'll run yu thru. Disregarding the saber, jacks and Mackey advance against the swordsman and the contest waxes hot and furious again. Atten-TION, calls out a stern voice. Major Kirkwood enters the room! I thought I told you guys to cut out messing around in here. But, sir, I was brutally attacked- O, yea! he threw my book, sir. After many alibis and much dressing down quiet is restored and the Major leaves, secretly smiling. Then the great event, Colonel Shook enters the room! As a body the officers bend to their knees and touch their 181 foreheads to the ground. Allah, Allah, Allah, come the cries of the faithful in unison. After this little ceremony, all rise and proceed about their business. Hawkinson, type this letter, orders Shook, looking up from his work. I can't, sir, I've got to do my geom- etry, replies the Sergeant Major. A non-com refusing a command- eh, growls Carpenter in a menacing tone. There's only one treatment, shouts jacks, rising from his chair. Immediate action is the result. Carpenter, Fried, jacks, and Pitman merge on the Ser- geant. A few minutes later Hawkinson sits at the typewriter, quietly working. But, after an easy victory, the spirit of battle is still fresh in the officers. A challenge goes up. All 'C' company officers-! Lane, Rosenbloom, and Carpenter are already on their feet. Come on 'C' company, we'll show 'em! Lane rushes Captain Mackey and is set upon from behind by Fried. The three are borne to the floor near the spot where Carpenter and Rosenbloom tum- ble with Jacks, Shook, and Pitman. The fighting is thick and the tide of the melee changes often. Pressed backward by enemy hordes, Rosenbloom reaches the bookshelf, and seizing a handy vol- ume, hurls it at jacks. The enemy is temporarily halted as the men of C company lay down a barrage of books. The air is filled with hurtling histories, trigs, manuals, and other assorted works. The officers of A and B companies finally reach the saber racks and a deter- mined saber charge breaks up the bar- rage. At this point Major George enters and joins the fray. Lane, Carpenter, and Rosenbloom, sorely outnumbered and wounded, finally retreat out the door and escape, crying out defiantly as they flee down the hall. After this spirited engagement, the victors rest and enjoy a concert. Maes- tro George, the great baritone, leads the singing of Working on the Rail- road while Mackey lends harmony with his drums and Shook gives a piano ren- dition. Meanwhile, Higdon enters and attempts to gather the scattered books. Finally he resigns the job and joins in the singing. At last with the lengthening shadows and the repeated remonstrances of har- ried janitors, the little group gather their books and amid discussion of homework, leave the office. Then in strolls Big Bob Stooker, at last finished with his numerous duties as a student official. He gathers up a large pile of books, turns out the light, salutes the flag, and leaves. All is quiet in the hectic chambers as the shadows darken across the courtyard. Page 182 SOUTHWEST MOTHER GOOSE Georgy Porgy, pudding and pie, Kissed the girls and made them cry- The wolf!
