Therefore, we dedicate this fourteenth edition of the Cardinal, to our loyal and and faithful advisor, Miss Hagerman. THE inauguration This being the first year in the history of our country that a president has ever been inaugurated on January 4th, the staff has selected The Inauguration as the theme of this book. This twentieth amendment was made and ratified in 1933. It was constructed in order to put the congressional year on the same basis as the physical year, instead of having a year of tneir own. This change was proposed by Senator George Norris of Nebraska. Hie first division of this book. Administration, is represented by the Supreme Court, as its decisions in matters relating to the government are considered final,—so in comparison with the Jurisdiction that the school board and faculty have over the student body. Congress is made up of two houses, each having their Senior and Junior groups. Our school, therefore, is represented by juAior and Senior Representatives. The upper classmen being our Senators and the lower classmen the Representatives. The remaining divisions of our book are represented by the different departments of the government. For example the Department of Labor shows the C. C. C. boys at work. I “The Inauguration I. SUPREME COURT .. .. Administration B. F. Parr, B. S., L. L. B. Latham Principal Valparaiso, Vanderbilt U.

Freshmen SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the autumn of the year 1933, when all was bright and cheery, the Senior Class of 1937 began their life in the high school building (changed to a great capitol building) at Warrensburg. We then considered ourselves high officials, as do all beginners just learning. Jitn Robbins was chosen president, Bill Perkins, vice-president and Aldene Lehn, secretary-treasurer. The rest of the members were used as our Supreme Court, passing all laws such as parties and picnics, but when the examination questions came it took us quite a while to decide—but it was passed by all persons. In the fall of 1934 we resumed our duties with a slight change in officers. Annabel Faith replaced Bill Perkins as vice-president. We sent our Representatives to different meets and they brought back their share of the honors. As the life in the capitol goes through the same process from year to year, so did our imaginary government. The third year at the White house was somewhat changed. One of the important bills which was passed was the decision about our rings. Others were the Junior-Senior Banquet and the play ‘‘Huckleberry Finn”. As a few members of the Supreme Court retired we had to get along the best way that was possible. We entered our last year of rule in 1936, which was being the greatest of our high school career. We have had representatives in basketball, softball, and the operetta. We are all working on our last two bills before our term expires—the Cardinal and the class play, “Pigs”. We are all looking forward to our Inauguration Day when we will commence our new lives in the world. JIM ROBBINS.

Thelma Kent ... Annabel Faith .. Mary Pease .... Bill Perkins Jim Robbins Jack McGorray . Keith Janvrin. .. Drexel Albert .. JIM ROBBINS 'Jim'’ If personality gets you any where, Jim should go far. His activities in the War-rensburg High School included Band (where he is the oampah”), and Glee Club. He is an excellent hand at sports, dramatics and is a cheer leader. His executive ability was shown by being president of the class as well as vice-president for two terms. If tall he’d be handsome; being small, he’s cute.” ANNABEL FAITH “Annie” The secretary-treasurer of the class was well fitted for the office because of her commercial ability. “Annie” is thoroughly studious as well as domestically, dramatically, and musically inclined. “You can’t touch any chord in me that would not answer you in music.” JACK McGORRAY “John” A master of the candid camera is Jack. Glee Club (where he is an ace bass), Athletics, and Band all make what we would call an all around good student. His hobby is science. “Works with a will, and does all things worth while.” THELMA KENT “Thelma” Thelma, a girl whose quiet unassuming manner will recall the old saying “still water runs deep,” participated in Band, Home Ec. Club, and G. A. A. Thelma also took part in many roles on the stage. “A silent nature concealing a warmth of true friendship.” DREXEL ALBERT “Bob” Athletics was the most important event in “Bob’s” life, featuring two years of basketball, baseball, and three years of track. He assisted the Junior Play cast by being the property manager. “Too tall to walk under his own umbrella.” MARY ELINOR PEASE “Mitzi” “Mitzi” interests herself in Glee Club (where she is an outstanding alto). Dramatics and G. A. A. We all enjoy her literary efforts. She is the president of the Senior Class. “Don’t worry over trouble it never broke a date yet.” BILLY PERKINS “Perk” “Perk” jumped, dodged, and ran his way to athletic fame. Besides being a star athlete, he is a star history student. Band and Glee Club interested him for a time. We will not forget his performance as “Tom Sawyer” in the play “Huckleberry Finn”, and “Junior” in the Senior play, “Pigs”. “I might be better if I would, but it’s awfully lonesome being good.” DELORAS RODGERS “Lauren” Deloras is good at her job as Band Secretary. She also takes a leading part in the glee club. Last year she wasn’t with us as she was going to school at Newton, but she came back to graduate with her old classmates. “Ready for every bit of fun, always the same to everyone.” KEITH JANVRIN “Skinner” “Skinner’s” greatest ambition was to be a ball player. He participated in track and basketball, and was athletic manager in ’36 of the Warrensburg Cardinals. Keith is a right-hand man of all. “My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me.” EDWIN ROGERS “Eddie” Dividing his time among several activities, “Eddie” helped the class of ’37 plays an important part in the school's history. He entered track in ’35 and participated in baseball in ’37. “Eddie” played the role of the lover in Huckleberry Finn.” “A likeable fellow whose like we seldom find.” Cardinal SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY One night, after going to bed ; A queer idea came into my head. It was the year of nineteen forty-two, When the Senior Class came into view. In a large city, a street I behold! A newspaper man is being very bold. He's taking a picture of Hitler, I see, And he doesn't even so much as look at me; Stepping closer, I notice he is rather short, “Why its Jack McGorray!” I exclaim with a snort. Away to a ritzy night club I’m taken, I can guess who is there, if I’m not mistaken ; The strains of a jazz band reaches my ear, I'll bet Jim Robbins is chief engineer. Knowing he would be surprised at my appearance, I walk across the floor without much interference; He looked at me with great surprise, Who I am he can’t quite surmise. Later on, over to me he walked. And then we talked and talked and talked. Then to a broadcasting station I go, A well-known program is giving the show. Annabel Faith is doing real well, I hear; She’s playing for Jack Benny’s program, and has a large Next, to a courtroom, I go in a cab, Why Drexel Albert is on the stand. Edwin Rogers, a noted attorney-at-law, is here; He has won all his cases for many a year. Finding he is going to win his case, I ride away—ready for another chase. To the airport, I go in a flash. My, O, my, there has been a crash! Nurse Rodgers is there with her first aid kit, She’s always on the job when someone’s been hit. Much to my surprise the pilot climbs out; “Why its Bill Perkins,” I cry with a shout. With him came Mary Elinor Pease, She’s a stewardess now for T. V. E.’s. After conversing with them for a time, I find they are going to be married at nine. Next, to Barnum and Bailey’s circus, I go, They are in Chicago with a great show. The star performer, who is Thelma Kent, Does bare-back riding to a great extent. She has won great fame the whole world round, Although she is modest, and don't like renown. Keith Janvrin is a famous news commutator, He’s working now for a large newspaper. Later, I wonder if this will all come true, These careers, that I have dreamed about you. —By Mary Elizabeth Williams. 1957 career m SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of Warrensburg Community High School, in the year nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, being accomplished students and of sound mind, do hereby bequeath our knowledge and loyalty to our high school, to the under classmen, in the hope that they will use it to as good an advantage as we have.

At a meeting called by Miss Helen McBride, the following officers were elected: President. Ida Mae Franklin; vice president, Ben Disbrow; and secretary-treasurer, Bill Robbins. During the freshmen year the following girls were chosen as cheer leaders: Mary Tolson, Betty Hepworth, Ida Mae Franklin, Mary Culp, and Barbara Gilman. Betty Hanes won fourth place in the County Dramatic Contest. One party was held at Ida Mae Franklin’s home. In the fall of 1935. the freshmen of '34 came back to honor the sophomore section. Miss Helen McBride was again sponsor; Henry McGrath, Betty Hanes, and Barbara Gilman were class officers. A party was held at the home of Betty Hanes, and we attended the carnival at Decatur. Next the class of '38 rose to its present title of juniors, a year full of new and exciting events with Henry McGrath serving as president, Miktred Wentworth, vice-president; and Charles Keister, secretary-treasurer. The juniors were given a chance to display their dramatic talent in their successful class play “Who Did It? . Soon after school started, we ordered our class rings. We sponsored a Magician Program to raise funds for our Junior-Senior banquet; held on May 13. 1937. Every member of the class of '38 is looking forward to a successful year when the class will again enter the portals of W. C. H. S., this time as seniors. Until next year................. DELORAS RODGERS (Senior) JUNIOR CLASS Colors—Gold and White. Flower—Lily of the Valley. Motto—Hori Non Cras (Do It Now) President—Henry McGrath Vice-President—Mildred Wentworth Secretary-Treasurer—Charles Keister SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In the fall of nineteen hundred thirty-five the large plane, “Good Luck”, started on its way with twrenty-three passengers, including the pilot, Miss Zelle. An election of officers was held soon after the plane took off. Robert Fawcett was chosen co-pilot; George Binkley, navigator; J. R. Brown, radio operator; and Ruby Boyer, stewardess. After the first six weeks of its flight the plane landed to take on another passenger, Nell Ruth Binkley. Many parties and programs were attended by the passengers. Several of the boys and girls were in the operetta, “Love Pirates of Hawaii” given by the combined glee clubs. The mid-year air craft exams were passed safely enough by all the passengers. The plane landed again and everybody enjoyed the Christmas vacation. During this time Robert Fawcett who couldn’t stand the altitude, was left behind. Dorothy Delaney was chosen co-pilot in his place. In May the passengers took another exam which qualified them as first-class passengers. It would take four years of hard flying to become a good pilot. The plane landed for the summer vacation and for many badly needed repairs. Cardinal Third Row: Ben Disbrow. Henry McGrath.

All ten passengers of the fleet were there. Everybody seemed glad to be on the good old earth again. In the fall of nineteen hundred and thirty-six the plane resumed its flight. One passenger, Nell Ruth Binkley was married during the vacation. Three others failed to appear when the roll was called. In this trip, Mr. F.lam was the chief pilot. The election of officers was held. J. R. Brown was elected co-pilot; Vernon Manes, navigator; Merna Oxley, stewardess. A chilli supper was thoroughly enjoyed’ by all the passengers. The plane landed for a short vacation. Some of the girls helped with a Christmas tea given by the Home Economics Club. In the middle of the flight Ethel Brummett made a parachute jump to made the plane rise easier over the mountains ahead. A pot-luck supper was held by the passengers. Each one invited a guest. The members of the glee clubs helped to present an operetta, “The Maid of the Mill.’’ Other passengers were in a one-act play, “Elmer.” When the passengers of the “Good Luck” complete this year’s trip they will be ready to make their first solo flight. MERNA OXLEY. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Twenty-six Senators and Representatives, entered the portals of the capitol building in Warrensburg, August 31, 1936. Most of them were newly elected to the offices they had to fill. Having graduated with high averages, they were ready to take over the difficult problems they were to face in the future. With them they carried, the Senatorial votes from their districts, for the election which had just occurred. Charles Taylor from the farm, was elected president. Wallace Buckley from the city, was elected vice-president by an over-whelmingly majority. It seemed all the officers were going to be men. To break the monotony, the people chose Mary Elizabeth Williams as secretary and treasurer. Congress then decided on Mr. Serkes as Speaker of the House, and he proved quite faithful throughout the entire term. Not long afterward, one of the Representatives, Veneta Weikle was chosen as an ambassador to England. This left twenty-five congressmen. Bills which were discussed concerned English, Algebra, General Science, Ancient History, Latin and Home Economics. Most of these bills were passed by Congress. Only a few persons took up a new bill, “Flunk,” which was carried on into the next session. A senator, Sue Jane Hursh was quite helpful to the Senate, due to her scholastic ability and high averages. “All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy.” This old adage was appropriate to apply to Congress, because several social functions were held during the year. A weiner roast was the first party, followed by a chilli supper. Both were enjoyed immensely by all members. A sleigh ride, was the most outstanding event of the year. Late in May, Congress convened to take care of last minute details before the summer vacation. Thus the first term of Congress expired for the new Senators and Representatives. -1957 MARY ELIZABETH WILLIAMS. AUTOGRAPHS Cardinal III. DEPT. OF WAR .. .. Athletics THE BASKETBALL SEASON After a two-year retirement, Mr. M. Serkes again took over the coaching of the W. C. H. S. basketball squad, and although the varsity lost more than half its games, it was able to win five contests while the second team was splitting even in eighteen games. When one knows that the basketball squad was an inexperienced one (six of the twelve boys playing their first year of basketball), what success the squad had was well deserved. An analysis of the first teams’ scores indicates that ten of the sixteen games lost were lost to worthy opponents by ten or less points, and that of these games, four were lost by five or less points. A compilation of the scores shows that the War-rensburg varsity registered 428 points to 499 for the opposition. Vernon Manes was high point man of the squad this year. Bill Perkins, our regular center of this year’s varsity, will be the only one whom we will lose. NAME— CLASS QUARTERS POINTS B. Batchelder J unior 84 71 B. Perkins .. Senior 8(1 104 V. Manes ...

Bernard Batchelder— Newt”, captain of the varsity throughout the basketball season, was always a dangerous man to the opponents. Bill Perkins—“Bill”, one of the last year’s reserves, proved to be a very reliable man to the first team. Most of his scoring resulted from one-handed shots. Vernon Manes—“Manes”, was the little atom who had such a good eye for the basket. Vernon will be back next year. John Major—“Jock , playing his first season of basketball, proved to be a reliable guard and re-bound man. Henry McGrath—“Hank”, one of last year’s reserves, became a regular this year. Henry always fought to the last. Jack Oxley—“Curly”, helped the team a great deal with his dribbling ability, and way always doing his best in the thick of the game. After the first -1957 semester he became ineligible. Raymond Alsup—“Raymond”, playing his first year of basketball, broke into several first team games during the last semester. His height proved to be a great asset to the team. Drexel Albert—“Bobby”, captain of the second team in most of the scheduled games, quit during the latter part of the last semester to assist his father. Ben Disbrow— Ben , played as a regular on the second team this season. ! ■ will be back next year with the squad. James Bear— Jim”, playing as a regular on the second team was forced out for the season by an injury of his ankle. Charles Keister—“Charles”, playing his first year of basketball, started the season as a reserve on the second team, but improved enough to be captain of the team in a few of the last games. Bill Robbins—“Bill”, was a speedy little forward who played a good game of basketball for the second team. He will return next year. Charles Taylor—“Charles”, is a freshman who played in most of the second team games. He appears to be a good prospect in the future. Bertis Brummet—Joined the squad during the latter part of the season. Curtis Hardy—Also joined the squad during the latter part of the season. GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Girls interested in furthering the girls’ sports program joined the Girls’ Athletic Association last fall. They had monthly meetings and enjoyed informal social times. During the basketball season, the group sold candy and Booster emblems to raise funds for purchasing pins for girls who had earned the six hundred points required by the ruling of the State Athletic Association. The “Kid Party” was their social high light—the Hanes sisters receiving the prizes for being the best dressed children. Miss Bernice Hagerman, the girls’ athletic director, was the adviser of this group. GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION While the rest of the students were exercising their brains in the assembly or their voices in the Glee Club, the girls in Miss Hagerman’s gym classes were exercising their muscles by playing basketball, volleyball, and softball. One of the most exciting events of the season was the inter-class tournament. The Freshman-Sophomore girls, headed by Margaret Buckley, defeated the Junior-Senior team led by Mary Culp in an exciting two court game. Something different was tried this year in this popular sport in that girl’s rules were adhered to implicitly. SOFTBALL The Cardinals enjoyed an unusually good season in softball this year. With a number of veterans reporting for practice, Coach Serkes had a fine nucleus from which to form a winning team. Double games were played with Chestnut, Mt. Auburn and the Dads. The Cardinals were successful in winning five of these, while losing one game to Mt. Auburn by a narrow margin. The Freshmen and the Sophomores formed a team which played the Warrensburg Grade and Boody High School. They lost these two, but the experience gained will surely help them in the future. The success of the varsity team was due largely to Coach Serkes and the fine cooperation given him by the squad. Cardinal Third Row: Bcrtis Brumctt. Ben Disbrow. Charles Taylor.

OF INTERIOR Activities “MAID OF THE MILL” A one-act operetta, under the management of Miss Stoinman, was staged April 6, 1937 in the high school gymnasium at 8:00 P. M. Preceding the operetta, “Elmer”, a one-act comedy was presented. The members of the cast for the operetta, “Maid of the Mill”, are a follows: -THE CAST- Sybil Forrester, a girl seeking seclusion .... Mary Culp Robert Reed, also on the same quest ... - Jim Robbins Elmer Longrass, who seeks money . . . Bernard Batchelder Meredith, a real-estate salesman.............Jack McGorray Edith, a maid-of-all-work..................Barbara Gilman Si, the hired man .... Bil'y Robbins Wealthy Suitors .... Boys Chorus Country Maids .... Girls Chorus Scene: May. The yard of the Old Mill. E'mer Longrass is the owner of the Old Mill, which he has leased for six months to Sybil Forrester, a young lady from the ity who wants seclusion and plenty of it for reasons that she deems important. Robert Reed, a city young man, is looking for a haven in the country, also for reasons that he considers urgent. A real-estate agent sells him the Old Mil!. He finds that he cannot occupy it because of Sybil’s tenancy, but he doesn’t mind that so much when he meets the tenant and finds what a charming- creature she is. The two meet and go into certain matters connected with their recent lives, with the result that both are confronted with a startling state of affairs that eventually and rather quickly brings them very close to each other, herefore-The Wealthy Suitors come and go, as all suitors do, and there is a satisfactory state also which occurs between the maid-of-all-work, and the hired man. 1957 HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club, consisting of twenty girls, was organized in September with’the following officers: President—Mildred Wentworth, Vice-President-Martha Loomis, Secretary-Trea3urer-Betty Parks. Many topi :s concerning home decoration and foods were discussed in the programs, which were generally followed by refreshments, prepared and served by the girls. Several times after school, the girls met and cooked many different kinds of foods. The most important event of the year was an informal tea given during the Christmas season, under the supervision of their advisor, Miss Hagerman. Preceding the tea, a program was presented by members of the school. The tea was planned to entertain the mothers and members of the board and their wives. The decorations and servi( e were in keeping with the holiday season. The tea table was decorated with a centerpiece consisting of a snow scene, with red tapers at ach end. Popcorn balls, wrapped in red cellophane, were given as favors. The girls had several educational trips to Decatur, where they visited Heller’s Beauty Culture School, Sam’s Confectionary, and Post’s Jewelry Store. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The Junior Class of ’37 presented the Seniors with a farewell banquet at Sunnyside Country Club on May 13, 1937 at 7:00 p. m..

As the admittance passcard, each one brought a Christmas card with a greeting on it. The Ancient Christmas ideas were spoken of during the program. The next party was held at the home of Harriet Hanes, that time they were working on a little Latin Play called, “The Slave Girl”, which was given in the assembly later. All members of the club were in the cast, and dressed in costume. On March 23 the Roman Banquet was held at the home of Mary Elizabeth Wi'liams. Foods which were similar to those eaten in Roman times were served in five courses by the members of the club. Place cards were scrolls with the menu and program written on the inside. The only boy, Fred Wentworth, threw the highest number and was wine master. Garlands were passed by slaves just before mixing the wine. Other plans for the spring include a visit to the Lincoln Museum at the University of Illinois, costuming dolls, making floor plans, and having open house for friends. Officers of the cub are: Betty Brown, President, Bernice Alsup, Secretary-Treasurer. Members are Harriet Hanes, Mary Elizabeth Williams, Virginia Hardy, Bettie Hardy, Evelyn Hursh, Sue Jane Hursh, Marjorie Robbins, Norma Whitacre, Margaret Buckley, and Fred Wentworth.

BAND Our band is a combination of twenty-one Grade and High School members under the direction of Mr. R. A. Garrett. Each Monday we have band lessons with a combined rehearsal the eighth period. Rehearsals for what? To develop interest in good music, to increase cooperation, and to learn how to follow the director. Many of the members began their study of music at the first of the year and have learned the technique of music reading and playing well enough to play with the regular band. Our Drum Major, Mary Culp, is an important member of the band, especially in the Spring when the weather permits us to march. We played at the basketball games and are looking forward to our Spring concerts.

GLEE CLUB Both the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs have done extensive work in music this year under the direction of Miss Steinman. She directed the combined groups in an operetta, “Maid of the Mill.” Each Tuesday and Thursday during the eighth period, the boys convened and on Wednesdays and Fridays the girls met. The latter part of the year a double male quartet practiced on each Tuesday. The girls' chorus consisted of twenty-seven voices; the boys of fifteen. There were several opportunities for the double made quartet to display their vocal talent. The girls also were given like opportunities of various kinds on various occasions. Some of these included entertainments at the Woman’s Club, the Methodist Church, the Christmas Tea, and the Red Cross Flood Benefit party. Annabel Faith, our pianist, cooperated very well with the groups. She was assisted by Mary Elizabeth Williams. 1957 AUTOGRAPHS Cardins I V. DEPT.
