So let this industry be symbolic of our school. EXECUTIVE THE CARDINAL- -V BOARD OF EDUCATION J. O. Beall John Kruzan John Albert, President David Faith Howard Culp [11] THE CARDINAL A INTRODUCING THE FACULTY Now who shall he the starter? Well, Miss Hoblit’s good at that, And she can surely hold her own; Sure, she’s nobody’s floor mat! Miss Hoose is one keen teacher, And I think she’s mighty fine, But teaching isn’t all she does: Class plays are in her line. Who said that Miss Moretz Had pretty peppy eyes? You sure can see by looking That she is pretty wise. You say that Mr. Steninger Is surely mighty wise. I will just inform you That you aren’t telling lies! And now it’s Mr. Mitchell’s turn; He needs a lot of praise. Let’s give a great, big cheer for him And watch the old roof raise. We think that he’s the best sport This high school ever saw, And when it comes to basketball, He sure lays down the law! Miss Douglas has most truly shown That classes may be fine. If on your books and themes and such You’d spend a little time. I wish I were a poet, And then, by gosh, I’d say All the nice and lovely things In a pretty way! I 12 1 THE CARDINAL5 Raymond R.

CLASS HISTORY One fine September morning in 1929, ten young people entered the War-rensburg Community High School, as Freshmen. At the beginning of the term we held a class meeting and chose our class officers as follows: President, Orville Sheneman; vice-president, Margaret Faith ; and secretary-treasurer, Ann Noel. Miss Bell was chosen as class advisor to help us through the many difficulties which we felt we would encounter. September morning of 1930 found us again crossing the threshold of old W. C. H. S. This year we have a class of thirteen, an unlucky number, but a good class anyway. We made a better standing in the class tournament, receiving third place. There are two members representing us on the first squad (not to mention a yell leader). When the election of class officers was held we elected the following: President, Orville Sheneman; vice-president, Juanita Rodgers; secretary, Eugene Baker; and treasurer, Ann Noel. Miss Douglas is our advisor. Orville Sheneman.

Limited steamed away on another lap of its journey. Occupying a coach were forty-six Freshmen. A few left the train the first week, but the remaining ones started their high school journey together. These elected Bonnie Kruzan president and. after much debating, chose class colors of blue and white. They represented themselves in athletics and literary affairs, w:nn'nsr the -n'erclass tournament. In the fall of 1929, forty-four Sophomores boarded the train. Virginia Dickerson was our president, several of the boys were on the basketball team, and we were present on the Cardinal staff, as well as in the Glee Club and operetta. The first day of September, 1930, found thirty-eight Juniors entering the doors of the W .C. H. S. Special. Early in the year we elected the following officers: President ............................Boughn Binkley Vice-president ........................John Gambrill Secretary ............................Frankie Janvrin Treasurer ...........................Willard Buckley Boughn Binkley.

[27 | THE CARDINAL A HISTRONIC SOCIETY OFFICERS Presidcut..........................................Wilma Wood Vice-president.........................Nelson Vaughan Secretary-treasurer....................Charlotte Hursh The Histronic Literary Society, the cup-winning society t’or three years, has appeared every third Thursday in the Thursday morning assembly programs. The frequency of the programs was increased this year and we have been kept busy arranging these. No one in our society has appeared on our programs more than twice and every one has been represented on one at least. We have had a variety of numbers on our programs—vocal and different instrumental solos, humorous and dramatic readings, papers, and one-act plays. Miss Hoblit sponsored our organization and she has been very efficient in putting unruly members in line. W. W. THE CARDINAL ©RRATORIAN SOCIETY OFFICERS President........... Vice-president..... Secretary-treasurer .William Winters ...Nathan Brown Evelyn Stanberry The Orratorian Society is out to win the cup this year and have no intentions of stopping until they do. The Histronic Society beat us last year, but they certainly won’t have the chance to do so this year. The order of the programs was arranged differently for 1930-31. Our society gives a program every three weeks instead of every month.

Y. W.’s, and they try to blackmail them. The girls at the college admire the W. Y. W.’s, and they decide to give a party for them. This makes the “Oily” Denning gang jealous. The final examination questions are stolen from the Dean’s office on the night of the party. The Denning gang accuses Prexy of taking them. At the trial the next day in the office of the Dean, all the evidence seems to be against Prexy. Before this time, Prexy was the rival of Oily Denning for receiving the Harvard scholarship. While things look rather dark for Prexy, Whimsy comes in and says that he stole the papers to help him through the tests. No one could hardly believe that he would do such a thing. The Dean accepts the confession of Whimsy and expells him from school. The next day as Whimsy is packing, all of his friends are with him, trying to cheer him, when Judith Denning, Oily Denning and the Dean come to see him. Oily confesses that he took the questions to get Prexy in trouble, and asks to be forgiven. Everyone is glad Whimsy is innocent, and they all honor him for giving himself up for Prexy’s sake.

THE CARDINAL; Manager Collins Coach Mitchell Captain Brown MANAGER COLLINS Upon Ivel fell the unpleasant work, which is always attached to handling of teams, hut usually fails to receive his share of the glory along with those who play in the games. To him goes some credit for the successful season the team has had. He was always on hand when needed, and when there were injuries, he was always present and the patient secured the best of treatment. No matter, win or lose, Ivel was always on the job, a cheerful word for everyone. He was well liked by all the boys on the team, and that is one place where he will get the credit he deserves. COACH MITCHELL Coach Carl Mitchell came to Warrensburg from Herscher, where lie had developed a district winning team out of only five men. He fitted in from the very' start with our boys, and activities started immediately along the line of athletics. First came baseball, at which he worked hard to develop a team from green material, and in a short time had a fairly good team to represent the school. Then came basketball, at which he is hard to beat. This year Warrensburg had one of the fastest teams, and it has won a larger per cent of its games than any other team ever produced at Warrensburg. Much credit for winning these games is due the coach. Nothing pleases him better than to be with his team and have a good time, as long as it does not interfere with training. CAPTAIN BROWN Captain Brown started his last season with the prospect of only one semester of basketball ahead of him. He played every game during the first semester; and in our own invitational tournament, he was high scorer, was chosen as one of the best eight players, and was awarded the sportsmanship medal. Captain Brown started his basketball career when he was a Freshman, playing with the scrubs, but since his Sophomore year, he has been on the first team. He wras elected captain his Junior year, and filled this place until the second semestei of this year, when lie had to give up basketball due to his ninth semester. William Winters.

I 42] THE CARDINAL’ CLASS CALENDAR Freshman (spring)—Spring is the time of all green and growing things, fresh and verdant in their newness to all life. What is more fitting then, that the Freshman, in this green time of his life, should enter school. We received at this time the first seeds of knowledge, and felt the first pull of the plow and cultivator. We began our career by choosing our class colors, blue and gold; motto, “Labor omni vincet”; class flower, yellow rose; and the following officers: president Nathan Brown; vice-president, Helen Paxton; secretary-treasurer, Ulysses Shepherd. Sophomore (summer)—The summer time came upon us almost before we knew, so delightfully did the one season blend into the other. We found the skies so much bluer and sweeter, and the sun shone more warmly upon us. Our flowers were unfolding little by little. We were slowly but surely coming out into the light of day. With Nelson Vaughan as president; Helen Paxton, vice-president; Erma Jeanne Wood, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Bell, our advisor, we progressed rapidly. Our buds had become blossoms. Junior (autumn)—In school life, even as in Nature, “Leaves have their time to fall, and flowers to wither”, and the autumn of our days came as soon as we were ready. The little buds of the Freshman year, grown into the flowers of Sophomore development, became the richer and more satisfying fruit of autumn. It was the harvest of all our early planting—the reaping of the results of all our dreams and efforts, and it brought the glad Thanksgiving of November—thankful we knew so much, and that we would soon be Seniors. Erma Jeanne Wood presided over the class, assisted by Charlotte Hursh as vice-president, and Helen Paxton as secretary-treasurer. The two events of the year were the class play. “Contents Unknown”, by Lindsey Barbee, and the Junior-Senior banquet. Senior (winter)—But this stage passed on into eternity; the fruit was all gathered and stored away within our memories, and we welcomed the approach of winter. The flowers have long since decayed as we outgrew them and the seeds of the new life to be were stored away beneath the soil of our understanding. Rugged in our young manhood and womanhood, clad in spotless snow and frost, protecting the yet immature germs of developing life, we stand at the end of our course. We realized the need for capable and efficient officers, so we chose the following with great care: president, Helen Paxton; vice-president, Nathan Brown; secretary-treasurer, Nelson Vaughan; advisor, Mr. Steninger. It seems a more difficult time than we expected. The world outside is cold. “Flowers arc dead, and fields are drear, And streams are wild, and skies are bleak, And white with snow each mountain’s peak. When winter rules the year.” I 4.1] THE CARDINAL 4 A CLASS PROPHECY Listen, O ye men and women, youths and maidens, and little children! Listen, all ye people of Warrensburg, to the words of wisdom from the lips of your prophet, who now speaketh unto you what hath been revealed unto her, even as it hath been decreed by the powers that be. For it has come to pass that the veil of the future hath been rent in twain, even as it was so rent in the days of the wise prophets of old, and the Spirit of Prophecy hath descended from the spheres to envelop my soul with her mystic power. Aye, I say unto you, men and women, youths and maidens, and little children of Warrensburg, it hath been given unto me as the chosen one of this great and good people, the Class of ’31, to dream strange dreams, and to see strange visions of the glories of the years yet to be. It come to pass that as I looked into professional circles, I saw a prosperous lawyer, the boy whom in our high school days had not yet learned to lie. Not even on the right side would Nelson say a word that could be untruly interpreted. As I gazed upon the richly-furnished office, verily my heart stirred within me at a peculiar buzzing sound, hut when I discovered the source of the noise, lo! there was Wanda, whose skill as a typist had won for her the place as private secretary to the Great Lawyer. And it came to pass that, as I looked upon this scene, I heard the yell of newsboys running down the street, with “extras” of the big battle in which the American forces were led to victory by the gallant soldier, General Claude Collins. I looked upon the professional circles for the second time, and there stood a noble professor before his class. All reverently bow in homage to Professor Sheneman. And it came to pass that the door of a home swung open, and I found therein a happy household. Verily was my soul rejoiced thereat as I gazed my last upon Helen, and followed my Spirit of Prophecy further on its quest of Things to Be. And it came to pass, even as I watched the home lights die away, that secret strains of music held my soul entranced by the beauty and perfection of their harmonies, and as I looked about to know whence they came, behold, I did find William with his violin, playing soft tunes to young lovers. This I beheld as in a dream, the vision of a rich banker, riding in his aeroplane, counting out his money, wearing diamonds. Yea, verily I say, this is the true revelation of that distinguished personage, Mr. Ivel Collins. And it so happened while I pondered these things that I could see a mob gathered in opposition to that class of people to which Mr. Collins belonged. Eager faces were turned toward their leader. Standing on an elevated platform was Erma Jeanne Wood, fired with enthusiasm for her cause in defending the rights of the oppressed Laborers against that Giant, CAPITALISM. Verily, I say unto you, the Class of ’31, that you are emerging into an era of human progress. Behold that famous inventor, Wayne Norris, who hath received a patent on an invention which will revolutionize society; it is a process by which chewing gum may be equipped with a self-starter and standard shift gears. When I behold the far, far prairies, I can see a speck of color racing with the breeze—a girl of the plains, a pioneer of distant wildness and vastness. It is Charlotte Hursh. riding barebacked over the broad spaces. I - -� I THE CARDINAL’ And I also happened to find myself on the inside of a large cathedral where a stately priest in his robes of dignity poured forth words of inspired instruction Verily, it was Nathan himself who had thus entered into the work of the church. The veil was drawn over mine eyes, shutting out from my vision the Things to He, and I turned mine eyes back to the Things That Are, sure that as “coming events cast their shadows before”, only goodness and truth and prosperity shall follow all the days that are to come to the fair and talented members of the Class of ’31. E. J. W. LABOR OMNI VINCIT (“Labor Conquers All”) “Labor omni vincit!” Teachers, parents, friends. We would whisper just a Word ere school life ends, Proving that toil led us To accomplish all, And we leave a lesson behind us: “Labor conquers all!” “Labor omni vincit!” Seems to hold In its accents just a Blend of Blue and Gold : Blue for truth and duty From the broad deep sky ; Gold for worth and beauty, Ideals bright and high. “Labor omni vincit!” All our lives to be May this motto give us courage, That every task we see Will be bravely met. So Let us always obey the call Of our dear old class motto— Labor conquers all!” (Revised by E. J- W •) I 45 1 THE CARDINAL 4 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Class of 1931 of Warrensburg Community High School, in eleven individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of crammed mind, well-trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made. And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our superintendent and his ever-competent Faculty, only asking that as the last injunction of the dying, that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp that our worth and our merit as Seniors of “grave and reverend mien” must certainly have deserved. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: Item: We bequeath to the Faculty an unbroken succession of restful nights. It has been a hard strain on them, for Seniors are said to be at all times hard to manage. Item: We bequeath to our principal, Mr. Steninger, our heartiest gratitude and the unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. Item: We bequeath to the underclassmen all the amazing knowledge obtainable from our various examination papers. Item: The following may seem but trifling bequests but we hope they may be accepted as valuable assets to those who may receive them : Helen Paxton, with many pangs, leaves her physics notebook to Mr. Steninger, that he may learn more about phenomena. To anybody who needs it, Nelson Vaughan’s bluff. Apply early and avoid the rush. Charlotte Hursh leaves her ability as a saxaphonist to next year’s band. Ivel Collins leaves his affection for the Rear twins to Obie Young. Wayne Norris leaves nothing to nobody. William Botts leaves his entire lack of interest in girls to Junior Eaton.

Cotton It was not so many moons ago, In a school not far away, That some Seniors worked—as they must, you know— In the most engaging way ; And these Seniors lived with no other thought But to pass on Commencement Day! They were so great, and they were so straight. In that high school o’er the way; And they worked with a zeal only Seniors feel. Did these Seniors, every day; With a zeal that all the students in school Were envying them, they say. And that was the reason, some days ago. In the high school o’er the way, The Powers That Be said this class must go— They were far too wise to stay; There was nothing more for them left to know— They must pass on Commencement Day. The students, not half so wise, of course, Were envying them, every one; And that is one reason (there may be worse, But this was the way it begun!) That the Powers That Be moved with mighty force That their high school work was done! [47] I -18 | THE CARDINAL THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION President .................. Vice-president .............

The glory of April and May ! Rut the leaves are beginning to fade in an hour. And they wither and die in a day; Yet the rose has one powerful virtue to boast Above all the flowers of the field: When the leaves are all dead, and its fine colors lost, Still how sweet a perfume it will yield!” 1 55 1 THE CARDINAL ■4 A [56] THE CARDINAL; OUR JANITOR Mr. Major was named just right, He’s the major part of the school, He keeps things clean and shining bright.
