M9 3'AC FQl'n1Ql' l pf I HHN we Walla between the stately columns which grace the entrance of our building and hurry through its halls, we little thinla of the people, many of whom have achieved prominence in our city and in our nation, who have gone this way before us. Let us, therefore, for a moment lay aside thoughts of present in- terests and present achievements and review briefly what they have contributed for the good and the fame of Southwest. Let us here pay tribute to that master city planner, Mr. C. Nichols, to whose vision and judgment we owe the beautiful district in which we live. Mr. Nichols passed away on Febru- ary sixteenth of this year after a life full of service to his com- munity and to his nation. His loss is felt by many friends and associates, but by none of these more than by the residents of the Country Club District, in whose interests he took his first steps to the fame which he achieved and which he justly deserved. During the early years of the 1920's the need was felt for a high school to serve this rapidly growing district. Consequently, early in 1925 the ground was broken on a portion of the old Armour farm, and Southwest be- gan to take its shape. In the fall the first students entered the sweltering, newlv-built and, as yet, far from hallowed halls of Southwest High School in search of education and good times. The teachers and alumni who can look back to it remember that year well. The building consisted of only that portion of the present building that faces Wornall Road, exclusive of the north wing, and possessed few of the advantages we know today. When assemblies were held, the students sat on the floor of the make-shift gymnasium on the site of the present auditorium. There was no cafeteria, and tables were set up in the fourth floor hall. Throughout the fall, classes were conducted to the ac- companiment of the buzzing of saws and the pounding of ham- mers. CHOLASTIC, athletic, and social activities have flourished from the very beginning. Scho- lastically Southwest' has always ranked high among the high schools of our city. Approximate- ly eight-five per cent of its gradu- ates apply for transcripts to col- lege after graduation. Among these, Southwest has had more than its share of scholarship win- ners. In the spring of 1946, Southwest girls won five of the prized Scvcn College scholar- ships, and many students have year after year won other valu- able scholarship to colleges in many parts of the United States. Uutstanding alumni are hon- ored by election to the Southwest Hall of Fame. Among those hon- ored have been two Rhodes Scholars, two national oratorical contest winners, a national boyis tennis champion, a student repre- sentative to the First Disarma- ment Congress at Ceneva in 1932, who represented the Eng- lish speaking college students of the United States, Creat Britain, and Canada, and four alumni who had won recognition from the United States government for meritorious service during World War 11. Our school early reached prom- inence through its oratorical con- test winners, and, because of its two national awards and its sev- eral city and state awards, became known as the school of oratorsf' Few years have gone by in which Southwest has not placed in the Sons of the American Revolu- tion Essay Contest and in many other contests in the fields of literature, music, art, crafts, and science. The large number of scholarships won and the many other honors that Southwest stu- dents have earned are convincing proof of our school's excellent standards. We can all feel a just pride in our two Southwest publications, the Trail and the Sachem, which have been published regularly from the first year of Southwest and have aided in perpetuating Southwest traditions. Since Southwest is located on the Santa Fe Trail, our newspaper was named the Trail. The name of the Saclzem was chosen by the students through a homeroom election. Three names were sug- gested, Roundup, Savant, and Saclfzem. ln choosing the name Saclfiem the students helped to introduce the lndian idea to the school. ORTHVVHILE curricular and extra-curricular achieve- ments have been fostered by a variety of organizations. South- west supports a chapter of the National Honor Society, founded in 1928, the A. 13. MacDonald chapter of Quill and Scroll, founded in 1935, and the mother chapter of the National Arr Honor Society, founded in 1933. The last named organization now W By 1927 the original unit of Southwest had proved inadequate. Here We see the two entrances of the north wing, which-with the exception of the nine rooms above the shop, added in 1935 -was then constructed. At the same time, the auditorium, the main part of the cafeteria, and the north gym- nasium were provided. 3 W1 315'-W , V' if V 4 ' wwf , .H I t was not until 1939 that the west side of the building W a s e X t e n d e d southward, enclos- i n g t h e p o w e r house and chim- ney shown in these two views. This ex- tension provided tor an instrumental music room, a typing room, a boys, gymnasium, a swimming pool, and an addition to to the cafeteria. ...ll has forty-five chapters in high schools all over the country. Throughout the halls and in the cafeteria, students of this society have painted attractive murals that add much to the heauty of the school. Cluhs and societies have heen very active as they have offered much of interest to the students. The 1-li-Y and Y-Teens have pre- sented a program comhining recreation with service to the community. Hestia, the Chess Cluh, and the Engineers Cluh have catered to the individual interests of the students. Stu- dents interested in writing or oral expression have found much to their liking in the six literary societies, most of which have existed since the early years of the school. A high point of each year has heen the annual lnter- Society Literary Contest. Always hotly contested, this yearly hattle has proved no easy mark for any cluh. The service organizations, of which the Student Council and the Bed Cross Council are the largest, have given many oppor- tunities for student participation in school affairs. One of the out- standing contrihutions of the Student Council was the street- car shelter at Sixty-fifth and Brookside. The Bed Cross Coun- cil has each year, since 1940, col- lected over one thousand dollars to advance the henevolent worlc of the Iunior Bed Cross at home and in foreign countries. 1ts memhers have truly hecome world citizens. Because of the lack of an audi- torium, the senior play of 1926 and the first commencement exercises were held at Westport High School, and the first Liter- ary Contest was held at Border Star School. Since the comple- tion of the auditorium in 1927, Southwest students have offered evenings of entertainment and morning assemhly programs in their own auditorium for fellow students and for the community. OT to he neglected are the athletic achievements of South- west students. Our first athletic triumph was the winning of the city and state tennis singles cham- pionships hy a Southwest hoy in 1926. The foothall and haslcet- hall teams, however, did not at first fare so well hecause of the lack of gymnasium equip- ment. During the first year, The bare walls to the south await the south Wing, Which, with the steady growth of the district, may soon be needed and Will complete the original plan. games were played with out-of- town schools because we had not yet entered the city league. When Coach House realized the necessity of obtaining sweaters for the football team, he called a sporting goods store. Finding that orange sweaters were all that could be obtained in sufficient quantity, he ordered them, later, it was decided that black goes well with orange: thus the South- west colors were chosen. Since that first year, the lndians have distinguished themselves in 1n- terscholastic League competition by five championships and three co-championships in football, four championships and one co- championship in basketball, and seven championships in track. The Southwest R. O. T. C. battalion, first organized in 1925, has received honor ratings twenty-four years, and was espe- cially honored when it was cho- sen as the honor guard for Gen- eral Ionathan M. Wainwright upon his visit to Kansas City in 1945. The battalionis annual military ball, a high-light of the year for the cadets, was featured in a five-page article by Life Magazine in 1945. Some sorrow has come to Southwest during these twenty- five years. ln World War 11, Southwest contributed its share of its alumni to defend the cause of liberty, and eighy-seven of these young men gave their lives for that cause. Of its faculty, three members died while in act- ive service-in 1934, Miss Ada lonesg in 1944, Miss Ursula Ash, and last spring, Mr. George Peterson, vice-principal. All of these had contributed their best efforts to their country and to Southwest. C-O0 On looking hack, we realize that these first twenty-five years have heen, for the rnost part, glorious anal worthwhile ones, packed with achievement for Southwest. May we and those who will follow in our footsteps make the ensuing twenty-five years as successful as the first have heen, and may our school rise to even greater stature as the years go lay. sigma 'TNQ A ww, ir-Y Lin Huw Q.: ecfecalian The achievements of Southwest which we have recorded and the high standards it has main- tained are testimonies of the splendid leadership of the man who for twenty-five years has had the success of the school most at heart. From the day when he first opened the doors of a new, sparsely-furnished building to a small but eager student body, his devotion to the interests and the welfare of students and faculty has been keen, his loyalty to his profession ever apparent, and his integrity sound and unwavering. With deepest appreciation and esteem, we dedicate this, the Silver Anniversary Sachem, to our friend and principal, ALBERT H. MONSEES Three of the twelve murals painted by members of the National Art Honor Society in 1938, depicting the history of Missouri: Daniel Boone- Trading Post-Santa Fe Trail. -' f ,.

Through her work in the literary field, she fostered an appreciative and a creative interest in the literary arts and became the sponsor of the Thalian Literary So- ciety. Her many friends among the faculty and the pupils miss their asso- ciation with her, but they wish her the greatest happiness and success in her new surroundings. Page 19 SARAH H.

Miss Esther Schroer MEMBERS Charles Albert Paul Baumgartner Sandra Baum Jocelyn DeShong In 1928 a charter in the National Honor Society was granted to South- west High School. This society has as its aims to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to promote leadership and service, and to develop character. Each year from ten to fifteen per cent of the senior class is elected to membership. A candidate for member- ship must have a grade average of 2.75 and can have no F's on his record. Each candidate is allowed a maximum of .5 honor points for activities. His Page Clifford O'Farrell Sylvia Spencer Dione Williams Joe Williamson Barbara Whitacre Mildred Edwards Edward Haith Mary Lynn Herring Don Higdon Helen J ones Stuart Knutson Mary Kurtz Janet Marshall Zona Davidow-asso- ciate member from Kathryn Needles Independence, William Nofsinger Missouri' character recommendations are then considered. In the final evaluation, scholarship counts sixty-five per cent, activities count fifteen per cent, and character counts twenty per cent. This year, because of the small senior class, the group accorded this honor is relatively small. Membership in this society is a great honor and embodies a responsibility to live up to the highest standards of scholarship, leadership. service, and character. 61 QllIl.l, AND SCROLL ' S l klutlt Tn rmu Curr Corbett Secoml Row: Xslmur, juncs, licrgmztn.

This sounds like a large task but, from the evidence of their active programs, the Y-Teens and Hi-Y show that they are an active part of our school organiza- tions. The Y-Teens is sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. and the Hi-Y by Y.M.C.A., and therefore are a part of a network of similar groups. Under the auspices of the parent organizations the boys meet at a convention in Jefferson City and they also compete with other clubs in the Gray-Y League basketball tournaments, while the girls participate in city-wide workshops. In addition to their regular meetings, both groups have programs in which outstanding speakers give inspiration and advice. Certainly it is not difficult to realize why these two groups form an integral part of the school life of many Southwest students.

ACTIVITIES Sports During his twenty-five years at Southwest, Coach Louis House has shown his worth in the many fine teams and athletes he has produced. He has earned the respect and loyalty of his men, many of whom have owed their success in college athletics to his training. The Sachem pays tribute to him for his splendid leadership as the head Indian coach. COACH HOUSE First Team Football and Basketball and Track In twenty three years of Interschol- astic League competition, the Indian athletes have won the following honors: Football: Championship The Athletic teams of this year have been composed of boys who had plenty of skill and spirit, and they were coached and managed extremely well by the members of the Southwest 1932, 1935 19391942' 1946 athletic department. The boys have Cwchamplonshlp had quite a lot of student support to 1936, 1941, 1946 back them up in their competition. Basketball: Chanfg3o51 4 1 Coaches House, Chubb, Ewing, and '. Q 938, 1940 Sgt.

Track: Championship Mr. Bredehoft, who had been coaching 1939, 1940, 1944, 1945, 1946 basketball, was temporarily unable this 1947,1948 year to continue that job. I r SGT.

It was assured of a co-championship when Tom McKee went over the Westport goal line, standing up, for the only score of the Puge game. The co-championship was shared with Northeast. Through the whole season the boys had much more student support than they have had in the past several years. The results of this student backing are easily seen in the final outcome of the team's record. K7 Lettermen - 1949 FRED THOMAS-Captain . . . Cap- tain Fred earned his keep in the center spot. On both offensive and de- fensive play, he got his man every time. Besides the honor of captain given him by his own team, Fred received second team All-Star rating. ADE At almost every kick off Carl could be seen booting the ball down near the end zone. His backfield play also added to his fame. CESSNA . . . Big Mike filled his spot at tackle amply. His size and brawn stopped many players on opposing teams. CORBIN . . . Through strong and solid line play as a guard, Dave became a necessity in Southwest's forward wall. ENFIELD . . . Playing first class foot- ball, Ed made a good name for him- self at guard his first year at Southwest. EVANS . . . Onie made himself use- ful at end on the grounds that he was a hard hitting blocker and a first rate defense man. GREENWALD . . . A new comer to Southwest this year, Sherill showed that he could hit as hard as anyone in the opposing line. HANDLEY . . . The pocket sized Charles Atlas has lettered on the first squad two years. Though only a sopho- more, he is a powerful back and is a member of second team All-Star. HANSLIP . . . At end, Jack's energy and good football came in handy. He assured himself of a bright future on the squad. HERMANN . . . Jerry held down an important line spot, but took care of it easily with tough blocking and tack- ling and plenty of spirit. McKEE . . . With a previous season of first team ball to back him up, Tom combined power and speed to roll up plenty of yardage. . KOENIG . . . Jack showed plenty of tricky ball handling in the quarterback spot when he received the snap from center. MARSH . . . Don's fighting ability, alertness, and spirit at center this year will make him almost a sure thing next season. MICHAEL . . . Though out for much of the season due to injury, Harold's hard backfield play will boost the Indians next year. Page 88 R gg Ll X I ' l , 8 . at RUDOLPH . . . John lettered at the quarterback position last season. This fall his outstanding play as a tackle won him a first team All-Star rating. STEIN . . . Mark earned the name of glue fingers because of his tre- mendous ability as a pass receiver. His all-around play at end earned him first team All-Star. SWENHOLT . . . On offense Vic was a speedy back, and was constantly bringing down the ball carrier on defense. TOOHEY . . . At quarterback Bill piloted the team, passed, blocked, and carried the ball with plenty of fight to spare.

The Indians came out losers in all these games but learned plenty from their mistakes. The basketeers made a much better showing, however, in Inter-Scholastic Page league competition. Although they didn't come out on top, they played like champions. They exhibited much good basketball, winning four out of seven games in league play. The squad was composed of a large number of sophomores and juniors who will play next year. 92 Letterman DAVE CORBIN-Captain . . . Dave was one of the six first team lettermen of last year's squad.

Six Southwest men came through the preliminaries of the preceding day. Dan Burt took first in the quarter-mile, setting a new city record for the indoor track. Bill Gilges ran a very close race in the half-mile with Chapman of East, but fell into second place by a hair. The Indians totaled fourteen points, taking second place in the meet. Until last spring the Red Skins had held the number-one spot in the Inter- Scholastic league for five consecutive years, but were relieved of the honor by the East Bears last spring. Although the Indians were pushed down, they could not be lowered far. They came through with a second place which, in Page the opinion of most people, is next to the best. The only firsts captured by the Tribe were in the mile relay and the broad jump. The winning relay team, consisting of Jim Modeer, Jim Saun- ders, Jim Loder, and Dan Burt, cov- ered the mile in 3:36.5. Bud McBride broad-jumped 20 feet 9V4 inches for first place, and Earl Hormberg placed third in the same event. The Indians won seconds in the mile run, 880 yard relay, and the quarter- mile. Jim Harrington participated in a four way tie for second in the pole vault. Thirds were taken in the high hurdles, 100 yard dash, shot put, high jump, and broad jump. At least one Indian placed in every event of the meet but one, the low hurdles. 96 Tennis The tennis team was picked from the top men of an intramural tourna- ment held last fall. In the top brackets were Danny Saura, Fred Kester, and Doug Haynes. Haynes won over Kester, putting himself in as top man of the tournament. From the results of this tournament Danny Saura, Fred Kester, Gene Cayot, Dick Cayot, Alan Poisner, Doug Haynes CCaptainj, and George Norton were picked as the tennis squad. Southwest's regular season began with the Interscholastic Meet. The boys must have gotten off on the wrong foot, because they suffered many losses. George Norton was the only member of the team to succeed in getting Poisner, D. Cayor, is 5 Q-. through the first round of competition. George also was the only man to earn his tennis letter in the fall. Against the Shawnee Mission squad Southwest came through with better results. The meet was battled to a tie, with Doug Haynes and Fred Kester both winning their matches. A return match with Shawnee Mis- sion was fought through with the same results as the first. Haynes and Kester again downed their opponents. The Indians fell under the Wyan- dotte team, with Haynes securing the only victory. Kester and Saura both lost well fought matches. More matches will be played by the team in the spring season. G. Caym, Haynes V.

Hockey is a fast-moving, exacting sport and a favorite fall game that teaches cooperation and quick think- ing. Basketball, feminine style, one of the major winter sports, teaches the girls fair play and celerity. Volleyball requires adaptness and team work. Ping pong, tennis, and badminton are individual sports that require co- ordination and alertness. The ability to send a ball into the correct court and to return it properly proves per- sonal dexterity. As the baseball season comes and goes, the Well-filled girls' sport season is terminated. A sport usually classi- fied as the all-American favorite, base- ball demands of the player all of the qualities that combine to mean sports- manship, cooperation, and a feeling of getting along with one another that means so much in these times. Southwest boasts one of the few swimming pools in the high schools of Kansas City, and this pool is a de- lightful attraction, especially in the bleak winter months. Horseback riding, bowling, and ice skating round out the after school sports. These are favorite sports away from Southwest with which the girls spend extra hours of fun.

Cadet Colonel Halverson Glenn Paul llaumgartner Regimental Commander The Leaders of Tomorrow The Southwest Battalion of the Re- serve Officers Training Corps has again set an enviable record. For the third time in ten years a cadet from Southwest has become the Regimental Commander. Cadet Colonel Paul Baumgartner competed with the out- standing officers from other schools of the city for the position of City Colonel, and placed first. Cadet Master Ser- geant Jack Guyant also placed first in his competition, which was for the position of Regimental Sergeant Major. The instructors this year included the favorite of last year, Master Sergeant Walter L. Halverson, and Sergeant First Class Everette Glenn, who was new to the Kansas City schools this year. Without the able and enthusiastic leadership and guid- ance of these two men our Battalion could not have made the excellent record that it did. The cadets of the Battalion were in- structed in drill, first aid, weapons, map reading, and physical development. But behind these courses are taught the vitally important fundamentals of leadership and poise. The cadets are taught to handle and fire to a high de- gree of accuracy the .22 rifles, and this instruction is on one of the best ranges in the city. Training aids such as motion pictures, film strips, charts, and the actual objects of study are used in teaching the cadets the courses. Highlighting the social events of the season was the Military Ball, in which Southwest took another first. Miss Donna Barton, who was escorted by Colonel Baumgartner, was chosen from the candidates of all the schools to become Regimental Queen. Other events participated in were the Armis- tice Day parade, Government Inspec- tion, and Field Day. Throughout the year, however, emphasis has been placed on good citizenship, for truly the youthful citizens of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Page 99 To the Southwest ROTC Battalion: Increasing the co-operation and friendliness between the ROTC and other Southwest activities and providing a firm foundation for future units, were the main objectives of the Southwest ROTC this year. I am convinced that within a short time ROTC will be regarded as a foremost and con- structive activity at school A large part of this year's success is to be credited to the man in the ranks, the first year cadet whose co- operation with the instructors enabled the unit to achieve another enviable record. It is around these younger cadets that the ROTC builds its framework and its hope for the future. Throughout the course of this year they have been encouraged to participate in ROTC activities. More responsi- bilities have been placed on their shoulders in preparation for the leadership of the battalion which in a short time will be theirs. I extend my best wishes to all the officers with whom I have had the privilege of planning and working. Through your leadership and concern, the unit has prospered. Nevertheless, no single person deserves more credit for the accomplishments of this battalion than Sergeant Halverson, the man who guided the battalion. During his two years at Southwest, he has become a good friend to everyone. Many young men who have been under his influence will leave the school more adequately prepared to do their jobs as citizens. A man who has done much for the unit in the several months he has been with us is Sergeant Everette Glenn. Under his instruction and supervision, ROTC has become more enjoyable. As cadets, we have good reasons for being proud of our unit. Over the years it has always been at the top in Kansas City ROTC. The responsibility of the further progress of our unit now rests with the underclassmen. Your excellent spirit and determination will help make the coming years even more profitable than this one has been. I wish you the best of luck.

Jo Ann Daniels Nancy Hogueland Alice Moss Elaine Trillin Mary Lu White Page 118 Down in the Valley With Down in the Valley Southwest has produced its first opera, in fact its first musical show with a plot since 1937. The opera, one of the most recently composed by Kurt Weill, is based on five American folk songs,- Down in the Valley, The Lonesome Dove, The Little Black Train, Hop Up My Ladies, and Sourwood Mountain. Central and Southwest have per- formed the opera this year, each in its own school. On February 19, they joined their choruses and, with a cast of principals picked from the two schools and with a chorus of six hundred voices, produced the opera in the Municipal Auditorium before the National Association of Secondary School Principals. With the exception of Jim Ralston, a recent alumnus of Southwest, and Don McRoberts, a student at Junior College, the cast and chorus were members of the Southwest choir. The cast included Donna McCall, who sang the role of Jenny, Leslie Kammer- diener, Phil Cline, Frank Jaquier, Jerry Hermann, Nancy Hogueland, and Mary Weddendorf. As the opera opens, Brack Weaver mourns for Jenny Parson as he sings She Was the Only One I Ever Knew from behind the bars in the Birming- ham jail, where he has been confined for the murder of Thomas Bouche. But the desire to see Jenny once more is too strong for him and he executes a daring escape. The scene then changes to the porch of the Parson home. Jenny, too, longs for Brack. As she sings I Used to See Him Comin' Down This Road, she hears his whistle across the fields. She fears for his life, but even as the guards pass the house, he resolves to stay. While they reveal their love for each other, the setting flashes back to the first time they met at a prayer meeting. In this church scene, Brack asks to take jenny home while the chorus sings The Little Black Train. Later, as they walk in the moonlight, Brack is aroused to jealousy when he learns that Thomas Bouche has also been courting Jenny, but she explains that it is only a business matter with Pa that brings him to the house. Before they have reached home, Brack asks her to the square dancing at Shadow Creek--if Bouche hadn't already made known his desire. jenny consents after he has repeated the request in a more pleasing way. They part and Jenny goes on alone to the porch where, un- noticed by the young lovers, sit her father and Mr. Bouche. Soon Bouche asks her to Saddle Creek, but Jenny feels no desire to accompany him and Bouche fades out singing Hop Up My Ladies. Jenny is left to tell an un- sympathetic father that she is in love with Brack, and his only retort is that, though she doesn't have to go to Saddle Creek with Bouche, she can't go with any one else. The stage soon shows swirling skirts and pert heels as the square dancers swing in rhythm with the music. Brack and Jenny skirt the circling gaiety and soon they realize they have fallen in love. In the midst of their happiness Bouche swaggers into the spotlight, drunk and angry. He pushes his way through the dancers in his search for Jenny, who stands protected behind Brack. As soon as Bouche espies him, Page 119 he lunges with a drawn knife. The women scream, and in the foray Bouche is slain. This scene quickly dims as the stage is cleared except for two women who slowly work their way across, gossiping about the murder. They disclose that the perpetrator has been overtaken in the hills and is now held captive in the Birmingham jail. The flash-backs are gone. Now it is almost daylight and Jenny and Brack exchange their last tender words as Brack gives up his struggle for free- dom and is taken away. With the stage darkened between them, jenny is silhoutted against the porch, and Brack stands in jail-a man doomed to die- with fulfilment in his eyes. From be- hind a gauze curtain the chorus sings Down in the Valley and the curtain closes noiselessly.

Dinner Time A flustered young man meets his financee's family for the first time. The theme of this one-act play reveals the whimsical humor protrayed from curtain to curtain. Upon meeting the family, he feverishly fled from one subject to an- other with no apparent coherence or reason, hopelessly tangling his con- versation with a mixture of everything. Surely, he was out of his mind! When the first energetic burst wore him down to his common sense, he grasped his futile position and fled precipitously. But a few perilous minutes later there was a bold knock at the door and a new Launcelot was cautiously ad- mitted. He stood inside, apparently waiting to be introduced. The formali- ties were renewed, and the comedy ran high when he was swamped with questions about politics, movies, sports, and poetry. The curtain was drawn, screening a perfect comedy.

The quiet assurance of the stage hands, mingled with the mumblings of frantically repeated lines as our poten- tial stars scurried about, presented a comedy in itself behind the curtain on March 24, the opening night of this year's senior play, Life oi the Party, by Marrijane and Joseph Hayes. As the orchestra swelled its final chord, the audience tensed with expectancy, wait- ing for the play which was to prove a merry revel from beginning to end. The Hughes family is the nucleus of the play. They have recently moved to a new environment where they make new friends for better or for worse. There is a sharp contrast between the two responsible members of the family. Mrs. Hughes, flighty and society-minded, is characteristically . Joe Williamson . Beverly Bailey . . . . Lynn Kay . . . .

The four growing children, however, prove to be an immediate problem. Teddy becomes involved with a police- man, Officer Lipscomb, for parking next to a fire plug and later, on the night of his sister Jean's party, finds himself with three dates, Count them, Dottie, Maryrosalie, and Hope, -with an added unforeseen visit by his steady from Sheridan City, Sally. Oldest daughter, Mildred, spends most of her time mooning over Charles Collier, a rich banker's son, until her amusing with her well-timed Vance and incongruous ways. Now, which one of us has I V -Q, P ,Y L E. N a date with you tonight? family, convincing her that he is some- what snobbish, diverts her fascination to the captain of the football team. Studious daughter, Jean, throws aside her reticence and glasses to be- come the life of the party. Tommy King will forever be remembered by his wise men win because they keep their heads. In keeping his own head, he triumphs over the smooth-talking Mike Tisdale, who goes back to his old girl friend, Ruth, after having duped Jean into holding a party. Amy, the youngest daughter, a rowdy cheer- if 5 i . 3' . leader with many ambitions, is smitten by her first love, a comical character, Snazzy Mitchell. Throughout the play Mrs. Coates, the socialite of the town according to her own conception, lends an atmos- phere of supercilious, affected dignity. The play ended after far-reaching, somewhat unpredictable, but laughable events, and after the curtain calls, the audience continued to chuckle with satisfaction over a mirthful and well- chosen evening's entertainment.

Here they are seen consulting with instructors, chatting in the halls, and visiting display rooms. 1 Stage Crew Our stage productions are presented with much adeptness because of a group of hard-working students pos- sessing quick minds and alertness to directions. May the Sachem's recog- nition of their contributions be a last- ing reminder of their service. Each member does his job with pre- cision, a good will, and a friendly smile or a reassuring word for a tongue- twisted student speaker. Devoting hours of time before school, after school, and many times in the evening to build and place the proper stage settings, to produce better sound pick- up and lighting, and to perform num- erous other chores is the responsibility of these unsung heroes of the stage crew. Those who have chanced to watch the boys at work with the puzzling network of ropes, or to see all the in- tricacies of the switchboard locked tightly in their cage, will easily under- stand why a good share of the applause for a fine performance should go to the conscientious members of our Stage Crew.
