At their first meeting, they chose as their officers: President, Robert Fawcett; Vice President, George Binkley; Secretary and Treasurer, James Brown. Miss Zelle was chosen class adviser for the year. When school opened again the following year, only about half of our members were present. The officers chosen for the coming year were: Class adviser, Mr. Elam; President, James Brown; Vice Presi- dent, Vernon Manes; Secretary and Treasurer, Merna Oxley. Several parties were held during the year, and some of the class took part in the one act play, Elmer. When the class enrolled In 1937, ten were present. At the first meeting. Miss Curry was chosen as class adviser; officers were selected as follows: President, J. R. Brown; Vice President, Vernon Manes; Secretary, George Binkley. The class rings were purchased in February from Herff-Jones Co. One party was held, in which we did the big apple in the form of five gallons of cider. SOPHOMORES In September 1936, The Freshmen came to school. As green as grass these Freshies were, And stubborn as a mule. But soon they learned; their shyness left— An election soon they called, Charles T,, Wallace, and Mary E. Were elected and installed. They served quite faithfully that first year; There could no better be; Mr, Serkes, our sponsor, helped us much To steer our course, you see. The year was filled with pleasant days; Perhaps you will remember That each was eager to pursue His work the next September. It wa3 good to meet with old classmates— To review our whole vacation; To hear reports of trips and dates Or even an aspiration. As officers, Charles and Mary E. The class again did choose. With Sue as Vice to lend a hand And help the Sophs make news. Then Mr. Elam did appear To lead us on our route. And although shy and lacking words, He surely is a scout. We held class parties in the gym. And lively they were, too. We held our line in every sport. As all good classes do. The days were busy for us all. With many themes to write. We fear the next two years ahead Will be a long, hard fight; But later as the yearb roll by. Our school days we'll remember. As those of happiness and joy To memory's dying ember. By Mary E.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The Freshman class of nineteen members entered Warrensburg High School, September 7, 1937. At the first class meeting, the following class officers were elected: Gene Spitzer, president; Harriet Miller, vice president; Wallace Buckley, Secretary-Treasurer. The Freshman girls were initiated by having to wear their dresses wrong side out and backwards for one day. The boys took a couple of good paddlings and also had to wear neckties. A hard time Hallowe'en party, our first social activity, was greatly enjoyed by the class and faculty. The prize was awarded to Harriet Miller for being best dressed. The Freshman have entered heartily into all sports and four of them made the basketball squad. Paul Williams received one of the nine letters, which was presented at the banquet on March 17. Five members of our class play in the band and eleven are members of the glee club. Mr. Raplus, our loyal sponsor, has helped greatly in making our class a happy and successful group.

The Girls' Glee Club consists of thirty-one members, representing every class in school. This year the group has made appearances at the following places: Methodist Church, Rally Day Program, Red Cross Benefit Program, and Open House at the high school. The girls' club in combination with the boys' club presented an operetta, The Belle of Bagdad. The members of the cast and chorus were most successful in portraying their individual roles in an effective and convincing manner, thus displaying the many talents of which our school may justly boast. In the spring, representatives of the chorus participated in the Macon County Mass Chorus, which sang at Macon, thus bringing to a triumphant close the county one-act play tournament. On April 23rd, the girls entered the district contest at Pairbury, Illinois. The Boys' Glee Club is made up of twelve members. The boys have made several appearances in combination with the girls' club. They sang in the concert given at the Methodist Church in the fall, and furnished a valuable portion of the talent for the operetta. They also sent representatives to the Macon County Mass Chorus. ORCHESTRA Mary Ellen Keister, John Culp, Evelyn Eursh, Paul Williams, Bertis Brummet, Francis Faith, Sue Jane Hursh, Betty Park, Billy Buckley, Helen Janvrin, Betty Hepworth, Mary Pauline Binkley, 'Wallace Buckley Juanita Parle, Joanne Williams, and John Williams. The school year of 1937-38 marked a great change in the instrumental program of the Warrensburg school. So many members were lost through graduation that it was necessary to add three violinists and a pianist to those left from last year's band; thus an orchestra was formed. During the second semester, a contest was started with award medals for those participating in the orchestra. The winners will not be known until the end of the year. Changing from one to two rehearsals a week marked a ;reat improvement in the work of the orchestra. As we have several new students entering from the grade school, we are looking forward to a bigger and better orchestra next year.

Warrensburg Community High School CANDID SNAPPERS President........................................... Wallace Buckley Vice-President ........................................ Oscar Plummer Secretary and Treasurer................................George Binkley The appearance of pictures as a regular feature in the Car-dinette aroused interest in photography among a number of the students. Shortly, a group asked Mr. Elam if they might organize a photography club. The result was the Candid Snappers, who have taken and finished most of the pictures in this annual. At the organization meeting, February 15, 1938, the club decided to purchase a photo-finishing outfit and hold weekly meetings to develop films, print pictures, and learn the fundamentals of photography. A membership fee is charged to cover the initial cost of equipment, and members are privileged to finish as many pictures as they like, paying only for materials used. By using miniature cameras the club has produced the pictures appearing in the Cardinette at a cost of only one cent per print for materials. In a single day, members of the club took individual pictures of everyone in school. The prints were used to make up the Cardinal group pictures. Other activities included custom photo finishing for the faculty and friends of the members. LATIN CLUB President................................................Betty Brown Vice-President.........................................Sue Jane Hursh Secretary and Treasurer Doris Kerwood The Semper Amicitia Club, which was organized last year, held its first meeting in October. A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution for the club. Roman purple and gold were chosen as the club colors and Labor omnia vincit as the club motto. The purpose of the club is to offer an opportunity for the pleasurable learning of much about the Romans and their civilization, and to develop an appreciation of ancient art and literature. The programs of the various meetings have consisted or reports discussions of some phase of Roman life, Latin songs, and Latin games and contests. THE CARDINAL G. A.

Then, too, a number of pure bred swine and cattle sales were included on the program. Three of the members drove out to Ottumwa and Des Koines, Iowa, where they purchased some Duroc-Jersey foundation animals. Some splendid swine projects are in progress at present. All project animals are owned and cared for by the boys themselves. Five major breeds of swine are owned by the Warrensburg F. F. A. boys and every animal regardless of breed or sex represents the best of breeding and the most popular present-day bloodlines. The Annual Father and Son Banquet, the highlight of F. F. A. activities was enjoyed on April twenty-second. As a climax to this year's work, the organization is planning to take a camping trip to the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. BIOLOGY CLUB Biological research, a profound love of life, and a deep interest in living things prompted the organization of this club. The insect collection has been increased, and a number of skeletons are being prepared for mounting. It is the aim of the club to have a specimen skeleton of each of the common rodents and small animals found in this locality. From time to time animals are preserved and added to the museum which is nicely started. Then, too, field trips are an Important activity of the organization. A week-end camping trip is planned so that the group may study the flora and fauna of a region in their natural habitat. One of the highlights this spring is a trip to the St. Louis Zoo and Botanical Gardens. The most cherished hope of all is that of attending The Wild Life School at McGregor, Iowa during the first twelve days in August. There a most unusual opportunity is afforded to study birds, animals, and plants under the guidance of world-renowned authorities in their respective fields. Periodically, oral reports are given on various phases of Biology which Introduce the students to new fields of life and its ramifications. A timely project is being considered at present—that of making a combination semi-formal garden and bird sanctuary. H§ � � THE CARDINAL Warrensburg Community High School rnr £ JJM Lj r i.

Warrensburg Community High School ™M$L t a n----MTSg BASKETBALL Approximately eighteen boys reported for basketball practice last fall. In this group were five letter men, all of whom had seen much service the year before. Of this number, one was forced to drop out on account of illness; thus it was that Raymond Alsup was chosen as manager. In order to be with the boys, Raymond accepted the management. Seventeen games were scheduled for the year, with many close rivals on the list. The season started with Latham on November 12, at Warrensburg. After a hard fought game, Warrensburg finally wiggled out a victory. Then Warrensburg really got down to business, by defeating Chestnut, Beason, Niantic (in two overtimes), Mt. Zion, Hammond, and Maroa without a single defeat. This made seven consecutive victories. Our next game was with Argents at Argenta. This was one of the most exciting games of the season. We were defeated the first time of the season by one point. Our next game was at the Niantic Invitational Tournament, with Illiopolis, Latham, Niantic, and Warrensburg competing. Warrensburg won the first game from Latham very easily. The next night Warrensburg played Niantic for the championship and was defeated. As it happened, Warrensburg played Niantic again the following week and was again defeated. 'We also fell victims to Beason on the next week. Then we played Argenta the second game of the season at Warrensburg. We defeated them by five points. Next was the Macon County Tournament held at Blue Mound. We defeated Blue Mound the first evening of play by a narrow margin. The next evening we were defeated by Argenta, after three of our regular players had fouled out. On the following evening, we played Mt. Zion in the consolation game and were defeated. Bethany beat us by a field basket, dumped in during the last seconds of play. In the.following week, we defeated Mt. Zion and on the Tuesday following we were crushed in defeat by Lovington. Maroa, Chestnut, and Latham, all natural rivals, were defeated by us in the last games of our schedule. To wind up the season, we entered into the District Tournament, held at Niantic. In the first evening of play, we triumphed over Hammond by a small number of points. On the evening following, Niantic defeated us for our last game of the season. Here are two interesting facts to note: Manes was second high point man in the Cenols Conference, scoring 116 points. This snappy little forward is the only regular who will be back next year. We were defeated five games out of seventeen schedule games, two of these being lost by one and two points. By Ben Disbrow—Sports Editor THE CARDINAL Warrensburg Community High School Latham .

Possibly this accounts for our baseball record-however, the benefit derived from high school sports are not measured altogether in terns of scores. Teams Played Mt.

S. 2 2 1 1 Opponents 5 13 9 12 TRACK The track facilities at our school have been very poor; consequently, there is a lack of interest in this very interesting sport. The season opened this year with a dual meet at Maroa on Tuesday, April 5. Next there was a triangular meet at Maroa with that school and Niantic on Thursday, April 21. Those two meets were won by Maroa. We finished second in the triangular, beating Niantic. The County meet was held at Millikin on April 29, the Cenois Conference on May 6, and the State District at Monticello, May 14. Some of the best performances of individuals have been turned in by John Major in the weights; Vernon Manes in the broad-jump; Charles Taylor in the half-mile; Bernard Batchelder in the low hurdles; and James Jones in the quarter-mile. Major has put the iron ball 48 7 , which is good enough to place in the state any year. It is to be hoped that more boys will get interested in track in the years to come, as it is a great sport and one of the oldest and cleanest in all history. sgg—- 20. THE CARDINAL Warrensburg Community High School CHEER LEADERS Mary Culp and Junior Burdine were chosen by the student body to act as cheer leaders for W. C. H. S.

This was the beginning of their long voyage across the Sea of Knowledge. The next day the forty singing Freshmen weren't singing so loudly because they had Just been soundly Initiated. During the first week of travel we held a meeting and elected our leader, Ida Mae Franklin, with Ben Dlsbrow, Billy Robbins, and Bernard Batchelder as assistants. We chose the Lily of the Valley as our class flower and Horie non eras as our motto. Miss McBride was our advisor. We glided along very nicely the first year with everyone doing his part. In June we put Into port for three month's ship leave. Then In September we again came on deck. After we set sail, we discovered that there were only twenty-seven of us. The one-eyed Polyphemus must have snatched them during the summer. This time we elected Henry McGrath as our leader, with Billy Robbins, Barbara Gilman, and Betty Hanes as helpers. We decided to keep our flower and motto throughout the voyage. Again Miss McBride acted as advisor. In the spring, as we sailed along the Port of Lovlngton, we picked up a newcomer, Martha Loomis. Then, In June, we again put Into port for another vacation. Then In the fall of 1936, we again set sail. The crew now was down to nineteen; the others must have been lost In the House of Prestor John. Again we elected Henry McGrath as our leader with Mildred Wentworth and Charles Keister as helpers. Miss McKinney was our advisor. This year we began to show our talents. Most of our boys played on the basketball team. Then we put on our class t lay, Who Did It. In the spring, we entertained the seniors by a banquet given at Sunny Side Club House. Then we purchased our class rings from the Herff-Jones Company. In June, we took our last vacation of the Journey. In September we began the last and most Important year of our voyage. There were only seventeen of us; the dreadful sharks must have gobbled the rest. We chose Leonard Walker as our leader,, with John Major and Raymond Alsup as assistants. Miss Puckett was our advisor. As this was our final year, we wanted to make the most of It. The basketball team was composed mainly of seniors, and our members took leading parts In almost every activity. In November we presented our Senior Play, which was entitled Man or Mouse. Ida Mae Franklin left us at the middle of the year. We enjoyed many good times during the year, and all of us really regretted we were leaving. In May, fifteen of us disembarked at our last port, Commencement.

Signed; SENIOR CLASS THE CARDINAL Warrensburg Community High School r- SATIRE CAN YOU IMAGINE: Barbara Gilman as the fat lady in a circus. Mr. Elam pitching woo. Leonard '.Valker winning a bathing beauty contest in 1950. Who J. R. Brown's girl friend is. Charles Keister with curls. Don Kerwood going to a fire. Henry McGrath saying there is no place like home. Miss McKeehan with a boy friend, Mr, Pease very angry. Vernon Manes as a woman hater. George Binkley with a moustache. Wayne Binkley as world's champion miler, A Freshman who doesn't blush. Gene Spitzer disliking sweets (including girls). Helen Taylor on a date with Bert Norris. Bernard as a bachelor. A teacher that gives an easy exam. A basketball fan from Warrensburg who didn't like to shout. Imogens Tuggle as an old maid. Vera Lobb playing opposite Clark Gable in Follies of 1945. Sue Jane Hursh playing hookey from school. Mr. Muns with leather heels on his shoes. Where Donald Linton goes during study hall. Fred as George, and George as Fred. Oh me, oh my, what an upside down world this would be! WE WONDER: Why Freshmen are so dumb. Why the Senior boys are so conceited. Why Betty Hepworth looks so sleepy on Monday mornings. Why Betty Brown and John Major always loiter in the halls. Why J. R. Brown still has his class ring. If Betty Hanes is going to Blackburn next year to college If Vernon Manes will alv ays favor the black haired,good-looking, Freshman girl. When 3ernice and Ben will test the old tradition that two can live as cheaply as one. If Mary Culp will spend her vacation in Maryland or Illiopolis. If Jiggs will observe the stop signals in years to cone. THE CARDINAL Warrensburg Community High School CALENDAR 31—Registration AUGUST SEPTEMBER 7—School Opened 17—Baseball Game with Mt.

But some are so weak. They hardly can speak, •Cause they don’t know what it's about. Harriet and Billy, so cute and so short Are headed for some justice court. Miss Harriet, she cooks. And also has looks; Poor Billy falls hard for that sort. Little Abner, a lover did seek; Along came Daisy so sweet. They soon fell in love Like the fond cooing dove. And now they meet often each week. Hank and Betty, a nice little pair. You may find in the hall unaware. Though their speech may concern Lessons hard they niust learn, I would wager such cases are rare. When to English we Seniors must go With lessons so poor and grades low. Does Miss McKeehan, so stern See it’s quite hard to learn. Or does she think we ought to know? SENIORS S E N I 0 R S is for strength and spirit we need. is for eagerness to work and succeed. is for nuts each class must contain. is for ignorance which brings us much pain. is for orders we have to obey. is for rules we learn day by day. is for standards for four years held high. To leave our old high school almost brings a sigh. THE CARDINAL Warrensburg Community High School JOKES Leonard: How do you know that Chaucer dictated to a stenographer? Bertis: Why, look at the spelling, Junior; It's great, speeding along like this. Don't you feel glad you are alive Wilma; Glad, isn't the word, I'm amazed Miss McKeehan: You should write your themes in such a way that even the most ignorant people can understand then, Mildred Wentworth: Which one of mine couldn't you understand7 Miss Puckett: Can any of you girls tell me what a mandate is7 Betty Hepworth: Yes, teacher, it is an appointment with a gentleman . Miss McKeehan: Don't you have your outside reading yet? Kenneth Black: No, it's too cold outside at night and I don't have time in the daytime , Mother: And what did your father say when you told him you had a prize for dictation? Barbara Gilman: He said, 'Well, well, you are getting more like your mother every day'. Miss McKeehan: Correct this sentence: It was me that spilled the ink. Charles Black: It wasn't me that spilled the ink. Mr. Raplus: Hard work never killed anybody. Bert Norris: That's just the trouble, Mr. Raplus; I want to engage in something that has the spice of danger in it. Mr. Evers: We offer an excellent course in Foreign Relations next year. Wallace Buckley: Not interested! All my folks live right here in the U. S. A. Miss McKeehan: Wayne, spell weather. Wayne Binkley; W-I-E-T-H-O-'J-R. Miss McKeehan: Sit down, Wayne. That's the worst spell of weather we've had this year. J. R. and Maggie have quite a case ; When they look each other in the face. She sees love, and he sees affection; Then they look in the other direction.
