Once again here as school-mates assembled, We fain would lift our hearts in song, To our High School, our dear Alma Mater, Let gladness the moments prolong, We are proud of her lads and her lasses, Of honors won in days gone by, So here's a cheer for our old High School, For our old High School, our dear Old High. 'CHORUS Here's to our classes, H ere's to our lasses, Here's to the lads they adore, Here's to the Senior, so mighty, Junior, some flighty, F'reshy, and Sophomore, Let mirth and gladness banish all sadness, And as the days go by, You'll find us ready and steady, Boosting for our Old High. II. Soon for us will the school days be ended, The dreams of youth that fade so fast, But we know the heart oft will ponder, In mem'ry, o'er scenes that are past,- There are joys that will long be remembered, And friendships, too, that ne'er can die, Then here's a cheer for our old High School, For our old High School, our dear Old High. .qi-5 H Page 13 1'1 -i --L1 -111111 '1-fQA 1 CLICORCLI-'. li.

EVER did teachers and classmen look more pleased than they did on Septem- I ber 8, when the members of the Sophomore class appeared with bright and ' 1 smiling faces to take up their work for the new year 1924 and 1925. The Sophomores selected as their president, Howard Quallsg vice president, Melvin Mc- Cullough, secretary, Virginia Wommack, and Treasurer, Tom Lowe. The Sophomores entered into their school work with a vim, and in the sale of Annual tickets worked with such a will that they won second place. l Although the Sophomores came out third in the Queen Contest, the Seniors and Juniors were so frightened for fear the Sophomores would win that they shook in their boots until the result of the contest was reported. The class feels that its spirit and determination are upheld by its able sponsors.

Particularly 1 V did the idea of a beautiful body appeal to them. They thought of their gods as perfect specimens of physical beauty, as well as intelligence. Out of these ideas grew all their lovely works of art, designs of architecture, and even subject material for literature. Minerva, the lovely goddess of Wisdom, the inspiration for art and literature, was no frail creature, but of strong, powerful, splendid physique, perfectly able to wield her father's thunderbolts, and remarkable in the art of spinning and weaving. To such an extent did physical development and training hold sway in the ideals of the Greeks that athletic games were a means of worshipping their gods and paying due respect to a departed loved one. Achilles honored Patroclus with funeral games, Aeneas paid respects to his father with games of feat and skill. The Olympic games, held in honor of the gods of Olympus, every fourth year, grew ou.t of the Greeks' ideal of a beautiful, healthful body. These games consisted of wrestling, throwing the discus, chariot racing and foot racing. Great honors were shown the victors, who were crowned with garlands of wild olives. Most of the artistic and permanent possessions of the civilized world come from the Greeks' wor- ship of gods by athletic games. In the schools, physical education was of the first importanceg in fact the school was a gymnasium where every part of the body was trained to function. The aim was not only to make the body strong, but to make it beautiful-as nearly like the gods as possible. The contributions of Greece to civilization prove that a sound mind is correla- tive with a sound body. As the Greeks developed their physical beauty, strength and symmetry, they al.so advanced intellectually, for they have given the world the foun- dation of literature and philosophy, and the loveliest creations of art the world has ever known. Since the ancient Greeks laid so much stress on a strong and beautiful body, and as a result contributed more to civilization in the line of art, literature and phi- losophy than any other nation, all of which are indicative of a strong mind, let us see what principles they followed in regard to health. First, we notice from the flowing robes and sandals that the body was not con- fined by tight clothes. Freedom of movement and graceful action resulted. Second, the Greeks lived much in the open, as shown by their open courts and alnpitheatres on hillsides for plays and games, in other words, they were fresh air fiends. Third, they developed rhythmic, aesthetic dancing for development of posture and muscles. Fourth, all their games were originated with an eye .to beauty and strength, and a demand for intelligent action and reasoning. With the body thus developed, health was insured, intellect developed and imagination inspired to create the beautiful. In recent years .there has been a revival of the old classic ideal regarding phy- sical education and its relation to the mind. The Olympic games have been revived, and the Marathon races are annual events. Aesthetic dancing and corrective gym- nastics are gradually finding a place in our schools. E D I T O R S.

H HE AMERICAN nation as a whole has, for the past few years, been greatly I I interested in the raising of fine stock and thorough-bred horsesg but it EQ ' seems to have overlooked the most important problem of all, namely, the physical well being of our citizens. It was brought home with startling abruptness to the American people during the World War, when nearly one-third of our men were turned away from the service because of inferior physical condition, that something was being neglected in the education of young men-physical education. Most of the physical disabilities of these men would have been overcome if they had had any adequate .system or physical training in the previous years. The physical examination revealed nearly the same conditions in every foreign country: and .the result has been a movement for physical education which is almost world-wide. The new aims inphysical education are not wholly to bring about muscular development, but are to insure vigorous health, good posture, removal of physical O defects, the development of personal beauty, and a graceful carriage. This new move- ment tends .to build up the manhood and womanhood of this generation for the prob- lems that may rest upon their shoulders in the future in working out our national problems and carrying on wars. There are many people of middle age who do not believe in play, and cannot understand the great movement for playgrounds and physical training departments in our schools. They fail to realize how completely conditions have changed since ,i'J the time when they were children. Do the majority stop to think that fifty years ago the school term was -only three or four months long, and that children of that day had plenty of time outside to hunt, fish and play? The school of today has become a domi- uant element in child life, and more time is given to ity therefore, it is necessary to L: provide means of exercise for the students, who otherwise would not have the advan- tage of healthful play. There has also come a radical change in the nature of work and the child's rela- tion to it. The strength of America came from felling trees and building homes in the wilderness, but the necessity of this has vanished in the widespread civilization of our country. F-or this reason the youth of the nation must find its development else- where. Since child labor laws forbid the children to Work before they are fifteen or sixteen years old, a means of exercise and muscle development is necessary. The 'games played by the young people of yesterday were the greater part merely for diversion, and did not have any beneficial effect upon the body. Today physical edu- cation is being supported by all America as the proper method for development of the future nation. Physicians are now coming to realize that the greater per cent of stomach and intestinal troubles that affect one in middle age is due to improper posture or incor- rect habits of standing or sitting, together with wrong diet, and are recommending to patients a course in physical exercise. Certainly health habits ought to be formed While one is young, for an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. t Thirty-three states of the Union have already passed physical education laws, and physical education bills will be before the legislatures of most of the other states this year. This indeed shows that the people are awakening to the need of such a measure. M. WALLACE. Page 54 I - . . . , -.,,f,. rg A ,xv-F., .tif ,V if gtg- - .1 I afffawi. .1 Q A.

AW qggxgicaf eoucafion in fge Cwegg Qifg Scgooiyg Q HYSICAL EDUCATION in our own High School and in the grade schools has , been of practical value to every student in at least one way, that of attain- 4 -f ' ing a good posture while sitting, walking or standing. At recess time the grade children are instructed in games that are of benefit to their growth and physical development. In the High School physical education has provided an 'hour of physical enjoyment and relief from strenuous hours of mental study and concentration. Before the introduction of physical education in the schools, it was the custom for our football, basketball, baseball, and track .teams to consist of physically Well- built and healthy boys, who were not in special need of the training, but who merely played to keep up the honor of the school. But since the advent of physical educa- tion, each one of the mass of students is benefited, and there is not so much over- training of a certain group of athletes as was the custom previously. The majority of the students are becoming more vigorous and applying them- selves to their studies more aptly since .they have been exercising briskly or playing invigorating games. Each student, unless excused by a doctor, is required to .spend one hour in the gymnasium, three days out of every weekg and the other two days out of every week are spent in study of personal hygiene and physiology. The routine of each class begins by forming a.t attention in the center of the court and then the class joins in exercises. These exercises tend to strengthen the body, develop the muscles, correct the posture, and create a tendency for better carriage. After exercising for about .ten minutes, the class then joins in a game of volley ball, baseball, or any other game that is of especial benefit to them. Many of the students are interested in winning the state M, a prize given for certain attainments in athletics. This letter is considered a. great honor, as it is given by the State Board of Physical Education under the guidance of State Director Henry S. Curtis. There are several general requirements for any one entering the tests for the M, and one of these is good posture. This is the most stressed requirement in any phase of athletics: and our student body as a whole are fit for the test for the UM. Another requirement is sportsmanship. For the past year our school has gained in its reputation for fair play and clean teamwork, and i.t is safe to assume that no one would fail on that requirement. A contest such as this for the state letter inspires the students and keeps up the morale of our school greatly. The aian of this department is not only to perfect the body, but is also for the mind as well. Good sportsmanship is stressed throughout. These rules of sportsmanship- are the rules of right conduct everywhere. The boy who has learned to play fair in football and keep the rules is likely to play fair in business and in life. If he has learned to treat his opponents with courtesy and to appreciate their good points, he will in most. cases show the same consideration .to his business rivals. If he has learned to accept the decisions of the referee or umpire, even when they seem unfair, he has learned the fundamental type of respect for authority, and is not likely to become a. law breaker. The training of keeping up your courage when the game is going against you is the most effective training in that Spartan spirit which fights on to the end amid adverse conditions. It is essential to all large success. Habit.s which we form in school go with us throughout lifeg and it is, therefore, highly essential that our schools furnish the right environment for the formation of these habits. When the one great scorer comes, To Write against your name, He Writes no.t that you have won or lost, But how you played the gamef' M. VVALLACE.

'Putshoulders back, And hold head high, 'Count off by fours 3 Some do, but sigh. 'Left face is given, We forward go, To pause at Ha1t! To stand just so. And then we file, Four lines so straight, Our hands on hips, Commands await. We touch the floor, We bend our backs, And then perform Like jumping jacks. A half knee bend, At first We try, And then a full knee Bend, oh, my! Our poor limbs ache, Our joints are sore: But soon our exercise Is o'er. We then play spud, And sometimes try Our hand at shooting Baskets, high. We've learned to pitch And bat a ball, To reach a base Without a fall. We play the games, Skilled, more or less, Till someone shouts, It's time to dress. But we are learning Strength and poise, Are building better Girls and boys. BYRD MCKNIGHT.

Besides ranking among the best in scholarship, we have taken part in all phases of school life, including athletics, music, and other activities. The following girls, at different ,times during the year, have been placed on the Honor Roll, having received a grade of ninety or above for the quarterz' Mayta Manes, Byrd McKnight, Imogene Herrod, Dorothy Harris, Theo Haughawout, Mabel Ohler, Elsie Hickam, Maggie Sutton, Lorraine Hammons, Olive Rickman and Beulah Bartley. To the music department we have contributed these members: Lily Belle Wayland, Lucy Graham, Lorraine Hammons, Mary Elizabeth Chinn, Bonnie Brown- ing, Olive Rickman and Molly Berry. On .the Annual Staff we have four members: and three of our society were members of the Southwest Missouri Champion Basket- ball team.

NOTHER cycle of time marks the passing of the year 1924, and the beginning Q A M, of the year 1925. The Loyal Alethean Literary Society has reached the f v ' thirteen.th milestone and the most successful year in its history. As for some of the achievements of our society, we have been represented in practically every activity in school except the girls' basketball team. In athletics, some of the most dependable melmbers were Aletheans. In the High School Operetta, three lead- ing players were Aletheans. The Aletheans were also represented in the National Oratorical Contest on the United States Constitution. Although we regret to have our Senior members depart from us at the end of each school term, it is very gratifying to know that each one has had the success that is shown in the lives of all of our former members. We attribute our success solely to the guiding hand and the uplifting influence of Miss Ella Helm, our sponsor. .1 bfi.

HE VICTORIAN LITERARY SOCIETY, which was organized October 11, :Q j, 1913, was the first girls' society in Webb City High School, and ever since O v our organization We have lived up to our name. At our regular bi-monthly meetings this year we have enjoyed debating, original story writing and public speak- ing in -general, which is the real purpose of our organization. Also this year we have studied the lives of many of the great American men and women. On October 17 we gave our initiation party, in the form of a Kid Party, when all the new members were initiated. At Christmas time we helped the Junior Red Cross by giving oranges and apples to the Day Nursery children. We feel that the greatest achievement of this year has been the purchasing of our new piano, of which everyone is justly proud. Every girl in the society earned a dollar as her part in the purchasing of the piano, besides the many candy sales we have had during the year. We certainly appreciate the efficient and faithful services of our advisors and attribute much of our success to them.

HE DELPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY wa.s organized only five years ago X: U Although it is not the oldest, it is undoubtedly considered by the other Q societies as one of the best societies in the High School-in well-cultured refined and intellectual students. Among its members are found representatives from all branches of student activity. They produced the leading football stars, basketball and track winners, and have a considerable part in the departments of art, music and drama. The Delphian Society held its annual banquet at the Central Methodist Church on December 5, and it was considered a successful achievement. Motto Better to wear out than to rust out President . . .

Moreover, the club boasts of Rl, xluyl Al- 7 1 9 fl-E.. two KING JACK artists. We feel that this has been one of the most progressive years the club has ever known. Its success is due to the cooperation, enthu.siasm and faithfulness of its members, who are chosen each year fnom a select few, outstanding Freshies. We must add, also, that our faithful and efficient advisor, Mrs. Kain, is a vast help in making the Olympic Club one that any High School should be proud to claim. wwofto Simplicity, Sincerity and Service eoforg Qfvfoaver Blue and White White Carnation Sfongov Mrs. L.

T. A., West Side P. T. A., Franklin P. T. A., Webster P. T. A., Eugene Field P. T. A., and the Central P. T. A. There were 562 names on the roll during .the past year. This organization seeks to aid each circle and the schools in a general way, always aiming at cooperation with the school officials. One of the chief aims of the P. T. A. has been to keep every child in school, especially those who lack such things as proper clothing or text books. The P. T. A. sponsored the introduction of Free Teit Books. This organization gave a reception to the teachers at the High School, which was considered a great success. Being much interested in physical education, the Parent-Teacher Association donated 575.00 toward the equipment necessary, also presented a moving picture machine to the schools. t The officers of the Association are: President, Mrs. Waggonerg vice president, Mrs. 0. B. Landrumg secretary, Mrs. O. Sellingerg treasurer, Mrs. Lee Daugherty. MHIOP 3263 QPOSS OW difficult it is to estimate .the far reaching influence of the Junior Red Cross of America! How little hearts and minds from the primary to the adult student of the High School may be made to feel individual responsibility in a coopera- tive service for humanity. Webb Ci.ty Junior Red Cross is active, and is always planning a progressive pro- gram. This year, under the supervision of Miss Ella F. Helm, the Junior Red Cross refilled the kits of the first aid supplies for the five ward buildings, and purchased a new kit for the Oakland school. We gladdened the lives of the little children at the Day Nursery by giving them a Christmas tree ladened with gifts. We gave ten dollars to the tornado relief fund, and are now planning to furnish a room in the children's ward at the Jasper County Tuber- culosis Hospital. Ccge Sci-2 HE HI-Y of the Webb City High School was organized five years ago. The pur- pose of the Hi-Y is to uplift and maintain those higher principles and funda- mentals necessary to the growfth of every young man's moral character. This year, under the painstaking guidance of Miss Ella Helm, and the active effort and splendid example of our president, Winfield Dean, we have rapidly progressed, and have succeeded in stirring within the hearts of the young men of our scho-ol that flame of moral character and cleanliness to such an extent that we will continue in this wonderful work in the future. The Hi-Y has had nine luncheons at the different churches, and has had the best programs and speakers available. We were at one time very fortunate to have -Mr. Liddle, .state secretary of the Hi-Y, with us, and he gave us a splendid speech, which we are sure helped to create and hold that cooperative spirit which was so prevalent throughout the year.

All organizations have appeared frequently at assemblies, besides having taken part inmany civic affairs, such as the Harvest Show, the Music Club program, and Chamber of Commerce dinners. In February, two very successful night performances were given of the Operetta, Sylvia, ln which all members of the various clubs took part--about seventy-five in all. The leading characters were exceptionally talented, their acting being of the highest type. The choruses were well balanced and the dances and costumes very attractive. There was a capacity house for both nights, and, from an artistic stand- point, the Operetta was a decided success, considering the very short time music has been taught in the schools at Webb City. Another offering from the Music Department was an assembly put on entirely by the Boys' Glee Club, on December' 17, consisting of twenty numbers, including Christmas carols and solos. This is the first entirely successful attempt that has been put on as an entertainment by the boys alone. Four entries were made this spring in the contests at both Springfield, Missouri, and Pittsburg, Kansas: the Boys' Glee Club taking second place at Springfield. The department is always generous in assisting any other departmental activi- ties in the l-Iigh School, or our city.

E. Ei! H Thomas, was given two nights to a delighted audience. The play was a Lx!-If success both financially and artistically. The Dangerfield family are in straitened circumstances, and have rented out their lovely old mansion to a North- erner, who has stipulated in the agreement that there must be a staff of four white servants. At the last moment the servants engaged break their contract, and the Dangerfield children decide to take their places. Various complications follow, which are most amusing and exciting. Olivia Dangerfield poses as the Irish cook, her brothers, as English servants, Elizabeth, as maid. All .the men of the house seem to like the kitchen because of the charm of the lovely Irish cook. One by one the ser- vants are discharged until Olivia alone is left. Crane, himself, who has suspected the cook's identity for some time, and who has become enraptured with Olivia, finally wins her. Miss Frances Hitner, as Olivia Dangerfield, was very charming, especially in affecting the Irish brogueg and Albert Cobb performed the part of Crane admirably. All the other characters were well suited to their parts. N Much credit is due to the property committee and stage managers for their splendid assistance.

Two young girls, the Princess Sylvia and Betty, a farmer's daughter, have become tired of their lovers, and, as an adventure, decide to exchange sweethearts and gowns for a day. ' In order to blind their sweethearts to the fact, the ,girls sleek out a tlny flower called Cupid's eye, which, upon being presented to their - '. loversyi blinds them to the fact that the girls are practicing this deception upon them. ' Many amusing situations occur from the exchange, which, at times, are very Q -serious also, and cause the girls a great deal of frightg the men are quite perplexed A the attitude of the exchanged sweethearts. r At the end of the day the girls are more than glad to exchange their sweethearts 1 and gowns and are content to live the life in which their lot has been cast.

The annual Junior-Senior reception was given Friday night at the High School. The reception was given in the gymnasium and in the auditorium, each of which was decorated with the Senior colors of blue and white streamers, hung from the ceiling of the gymnasium to the floor, forming a complete blue and white wall, and at each end of the room was a large placard bearing the inscriptions, Seniors '25 and Juniors '25. In the center of the room, punch was served from a blue and white booth. Part of the entertainment consisted of the flashing of baby pic- tures of some of the faculty and of the students on a movie screen. Prizes were awarded in two contests, one of which was to guess the names of characters that were painted on cardboard and taken from ten familiar books. The second contest was to supply missing words in a poem. After the program in the auditorium, refreshments of ices, cakes and mints, in the blue and white color motif, were served. The program in the auditorium was as follows: Orchestra. Reading. As Molly Told It -Cathran Furby. Operetta, Cynthia's Strategy - ,' Cast of Characters: Cynthia Mae Perry-Mollie Barry, soprano.

One of the most eagerly anticipated events of the school year is the annual Senior I-Iallowe'en party. This year the Senior class had a most delightful party on Friday, October 24, at the home of Miss Mary Baker, 710 South Madison street. The home was beautiful as well as awe inspiring and terrifying, in its gorgeous decorations of autumn leaves, Hallowe'en colors, jack-o'-lanterns, witches, black cats, bats and skeletons. Many clever costumes were worn by the students, and the faculty, who were the honored guests. The first prize for the best costume was given to Miss Ina Dix, who was dressed as an Indian princess, and the second to Miss Pauline Haley, who wore a lovely old Colonial dress. One of the most popular attrac- tions of the evening was the fortune telling booth of Miss Byrd McKnight, who impersonated palm readers and clairvoyants so well that the guests really thought that the prophecies would be true. Another interest- ing event was the ball and jack-o'-lantern contest. But, in spite of the fact that the mouth of the jack-o'- lantern was so wide that it looked monstrous, no one was able to throw the ball inside its mouth. But the climax of enjoyment was reached when the faculty and a few prominent members of the Senior class per- formed stunts after being served with jack-o'-lantern cake. These stunts consisted of singing solos, playing the piano, dancing jigs, putting on quarrel scenes and proposals. and two minute speeches on cats, value of note writing, how to get a husband, and the like. Mrs. Carney won the prize for the best performance, al- though Superintendent and Mrs. Masters strove fran- tically to gain it. Delicious refreshments, in keeping with the spirit of the evening. sandwiches, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, cider, coffee and mints were served in cafeteria style at a late hour. At least the Seniors admit they had one wonderful time. ALETI-IEAN BANQUET One of the most delightful social functions of the school activities during the past year was the twelfth annual banquet of the Loyal Alethean Society. The banquet was held at the Central Methodist Church at 7 o'clock p. m. on the evening of March 20. Thirty- eight members sat down at the banquet table, which was decorated in keeping with the theme of the even- ing's program, which was to treat life as an ocean voyage. The table was a picturesque scene of the ocean, with a large ship as a center piece. Tiny boats were placed at each plate as favors, A three-course dinner was served. Cleve Cartmill acted as toastmaster. Among the specially invited guests were, Rev. J. G. Hilton, S. W. Ragland, George E. Masters, F. L. Boyd, Dr. M. S. Slaughter, L. Solo- mon, Judge S. W. Bates, and Miss Martha Helm and our sponsor, Miss Ella F. Helm. Letters were read from some of the graduate Aletheans now absent from the city. The launching and trial spin-Cleve Cartmill.

The Victorian Literary Society entertained their new members with a kid party and initiation in the gymnasium on Friday evening, October 17. Every one came dressed as a little tot and a most enjoyable even- ing was spent playing games and having a good time in general. In the initiation ceremony it was dis- covered that all the new members were skilled in some performance. During the evening refreshments of ice cream cones and suckers were served. The guests present were Miss Ella F. Helm, Miss Olive Gilmer, Mrs. Tamsy Kirby and Mrs. L. A. Kain, who are members of the faculty, and Miss Emma Lou Drugg, a former member of the society. THE' HIGH SCHOOL CARNIVAL. The Carnival, held on April 3, for the benefit of the Annual, was a very exciting as well as enjoyable affair, for the Queen of the Annual was elected from the class bringing in the most money by sale of tick- ets. The Senior class won, bringing in 5204, the Juniors making a good second with 5146. Altogether, over S600 was realized from the Carnival. Among the interesting features of the Carnival were the play, The Court of Youth, the Fashion Show, the Japanese Tea Garden, the Fortune Teller's Booth. the Doll Racks, and the Municipal Court of Judge Poindexter, to whom all wandering delinquents were marshaled by Chief of Police Abe Hamilton, with his efficient police squad, Walter Leib, Crystal Knost, Edna Chadwell, Regular carnival eats were fur- nished in shape of ice cream, candy, popcorn and hamburgers. The Court of Youth was a beautiful allegorical playlet representing the court of King Jack. Paul Mayfield as King Jack.

The Fortune Teller, Miss Byrd McKnight, told fortunes all evening to a very credulous crowd. The great throng soon devoured all the eats in sight and, like Oliver Twist, were calling for more. A grand rush was made on the ice cream parlors, which met the de- mand adequately until late in the evening. The Police Court was busy all evening, and brought in over S50 in fines. OLYMPIC SOCIETY. An unusual entertainment was accorded the Olympic Literary Society. Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Davis, 601 South Ball street, opened their home for the Olympic annual banquet.

A special assembly was held on the morning of March 16 by the studentsin celebration of the girls' team winning the Southwest Missouri Championship in basketball at the Springfield Tournament. Four silver loving cups, trophies of the season, were arranged on the auditorium stage. One of the cups was for the Southwest Missouri Championship for this year. The school holding the cup for three suc- cessive years will own it. Greenfield held the trophy last year, and Neosho two preceding years. Two other cups were presented them at Springfield, while the fourth was for winning first honors at the Webb City meet. MUSIC STUDY CLUB AT HIGH SCHOOL. The High School assembly on Wednesday morning, April 22, was very unusual and enjoyable. The first part of the program consisted of selections by the Women's Music Study Club, of Webb City. The num- bers were intensely enjoyed by the students, as the repeated encores showed. The following selections were rendered: Piano Solo-Dorothea Wood ffrom the Junior De- partment of Music Clubj. Vocal SoloRMrs. Honey. Vocal Solo-Mrs. Kennamer. Piano Solo-Miss Hildred Curry. Song-High School Girls' Glee Club. Preceding the program, an interesting talk was given by Mrs. Bates, president of the Music Study Club. who told of the origin and objects of the club. The second part of the program was a surprise, featured by Dr. Slaughter, who. in behalf of the school board, presented sweaters to the girls' champion bas- ketball team. In connection with the presentation of the sweaters. Dr. Slaughter made a very interesting speech concerning the girls' attitude and their fine teamwork. He emphasized the fact that the girls won because they were not good losers, and because they gave implicit obedience and loyalty to the one direct- ini! them. He further said that teamwork is the only thing that really counts in school or in after life, and said that the board and citizens of the town were proud of our splendid girls' team, who have won all the honors in Southwest Missouri. The following girls received the sweaters: Dorothy Mammen, Edna Browning, Mayta Manes, Ruth Key- ton, Jessie Skinner, Lilly Belle Wayland, Mary Sheckles, Nellie Nealy. Alberta Fly, Dorothy Harris, Opal Crocker and Pauline Girton. ALWAYS WINNING. Webb City teachers, 17 strong, attended a State Teachers' Association meeting in Kansas City-and brought home with them more honors. Superintendent George E. Masters and his sweet sixteen teachers all reported for duty, refreshed and jubilant. King Jack, the Webb City High School An- nual, won another blue ribbon first prize, with state- wide competition, in the art exhibit at the Kansas City meeting, and while there Superintendent Masters learned that King Jack had also won a blue ribbon as the best school annual shown at the Southwest Missouri Association meeting held at Springfield. The Springfield prize award was a handsome art picture, framed. which was sent here and displayed in the High School. This makes three first prizes won in 1924 by the Webb City school publication-one at the State Fair at Sedalia, in addition to the two above named. PARENTS' DAY AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. In response to a call for parents to take an interest and visit the High School, in the course of education week, 225 patrons had visited and registered at the school up to 3 o'clock on November 20. That day was set apart especially as Physical Education day in the High Schcool. Many parents visited other schools during the course of education week. Pads 95 ri i S.

Mr. Grant has not been discredited in any way, because a scarcity of material and a lack of harmony were respon- sible for our defeats. Our boys were light and were'outclassed in weight by every opposing team. We believe that there is victory in defeat, and we hope to profit by the bitter experiences of last year's defeats and win every game next year, for much raw material was whipped into shape for the nucleus of a good team next year. The townspeople were our ardent and loyal supporters through thick and thing and we surely appreciate their fine backing. tm V EJ HISTORY OF FOOTBALL September 264Carterville took us into camp in the opening game at Lakeside.

A GALEN CAMPBELL C Gabe J ........Halfback Campbell was a victim of circum- stances this year and was handi- capped throughout the season be- cause of injuries. However, in the games he played, he showed up well. PAUL HARDY .... Halfback Paul won his place this year and should be a star with more expe- X rience. He is shifty and fast. 1 I Page 99 . :fav-:fm , . ,V . . U. . - r, E5 . . .f - . Hi, , Q x, ,Ja -,AA: 5 Qfoofgaff qgergonnef ALBERT COBB f Cobbie J . Tackle Cobb was captain this year.

VAAKVLYY 4 11 W P ff L A FASKE TBAL L i ' A ' .A 1 , -..W ogg, gaggefgaff HE past year basketball, like football, has been largely a proposition of reor- ' lil, ganization. The team was composed of some good individual material, but their inabilityto work as a machine was disastrous. It is impossible to get everything in one year's training, and for that reason we are looking forward to next year, when lt will be possible to take up where we left off. :d We had two squads this year, the Regulars and Reserves. The motive behind this latter organization is building for the future, as the reserves of this year are gen- erally the regulars of next. The reserves this year played two games with Joplin and three with, Carterville. g A The boys' team showed up well at the Tournament, and displayed fine team- work and training. One of the greatest surprises in basketball this year was the defeat of Carthage by the Webb City team. Having defeated Carthage and Monett, the boys' 'team wasrentitled to enter the semi-finalsg but owing to the injury to Ragland, Webb Cltycould not overwhelm Nevada, althoughnthe score was close. One player, Joe Ragland, was made a forward on the Southwest All-Star team. Bozg' Bagnefsaff qocrgongcf PAUL MAYFIE LD ....., ........ . . Center 'Mayfield was an ideal build for this type of game, which enabled him to get the tip-off most of the time. His floor work improved as the season progressed. These factors, together with a fighting spirit, made him a valuable man. JAMES ROUNTREE ....... ......... F orward Rountree possessed unusual natural ability, and was always a dangerous man on the offense, because of his uncanny accuracy on either short or long shots. , CHARLES CUMMINGS .............. Forward Charlie was one of the most consistent players on the team. Although greatly handicapped by poor eyesight, he more than made up for this by his reliability. During the Tournament Charlie ranked fourth in individual scoring. ' HARLEY BRETCHES ................. Good, things- are expected of this young man next year He was one of the speediest .players on the squad, and, with a little more experience, he will be heard from in the future. - Page 104 - ---- -Y Am. . 511 9 ,Q w, , Y W H W Y W fp ' 'Wil1'Tl,1N34i5??'ff E ' 'i'?'f 'ia'4v4+ A:3g, ,'? . j ,,3:,'3W1'499 - Issey ' '-'fffee lf' ,,,,, W ' mg, ' 'A -41 152, .ra -,4.1g.14..-,7,+,.,,,,,, 1.7, f .Eff .mei V ' sua.-5?

WILLAR.D CRUMP ................. , Although only a Freshman, Crump has good possibilities and already is a .consistent player. PAUL ,HARDY ................ Forward Paul started out at the opening of the year as a novice, but he applied him- self, with the result that by the close of the season he had won a regular berth. I-Ie won his spurs in the last Carthage game, when his defensive play was largely responsible for a Webb City victory. FR.ANC1S JoNEs ................ Guard Jones was an teady, consistent player, and could be depended upon at all times. NI-Ie was adept at breaking up plays under the basket and getting the ball as it rebounded :off of the backboard. This is Francis' last year, and - we hate to see him go. EARL. SLONIKER .... . ........... Guard Earl is a 'conscientious player and developed into a good floor man. This, 'together with his ability to hit the basket, makes him a valuable man for next year. J -JOE RAGLAND tCaptainJ . . .' .......... 4. Guard .Toe is a finished product so far as handling the ball and shooting the basket lsg- concerned. H9 was an outstanding player throughout the season, and was placed on the' All-Star team at the Tournament. ARENARD CLAYTON ............... Guard This is Renard's first year ln basketball. He is of the right build for this 'game and, with a little more experience, will make a good man. BILL CROCKER ................. Guard Bill is another newcomer on the squad. What Bill lacks in stature, he U 1 makes up in fight. Bill has a good basketball future ahead of him. December 19..

Mr. Masters was on hand ready to guide the squad through the coming battles. He told us we had splendid material and that he was confident that We could win the cham- pionship.

She is fast and dependable and scores with her one-hand hook-shot when very closely guarded. She is a Junior, and will have much to do in making next year's team successful. MAYTA MANES ..... Guard Mayta has proved .to be one of the best guards in the district. Her height is to her advantage, and she has blanked several of the best for- wards in the district. She plays a heady game and follows instruc- tions. She graduates this year. PAULINE GIRTON . Jumping Center Pauline was faithful and a hard Worker. You can always depend on her to do her best. Pauline is a Senior. OPAL CROCKER . Running Center Opal was a hard worker and was in quite a number of .the games of the season. She is a Senior and will not be back, but she will be remem- bered for her faithfulness. JESSIE SKINNER .... Guard - She needs no introduction, as every- one knows she has proved herself capable of the title of a real guard. Her passing was splendid and she played to win. An injured knee prevented her from taking part in the Greenfield game. Her place will be difficult to fill, as she graduates this year. NELLIE NEALY ..... Guard Nellie is a real guard. She is noted for her speed and the manner in which she gets away from her for- ward with the ball. Nellie did not get to play the latter part of the season because of ill health. She is a Junior.

Forward This is her first year with us, and, while she was only in a few games, she showed good basketball form. DOROTHY HARRIS . Jumping Center Dorothy is a real center. With her tip-off and Fly's receiving and pass- ing it was a combination .that was hard to overcome. No other center during the season was able to get the tip-off. This was a great at- tribute to our success. She is a Senior. A ALBERTA FLY . . Running Center Everyone knows Alberta to be the headiest player in the district. She was rightfully awarded a place on the All-Star team, as she outplayed every opponent with whom she battled. She will be back as a Senior next year. LILY BELLE WAYLAND . .

Although a B Class school, they showed a real brand of basketball, and gave us a good game. We won, 24 to 17. This was LockWood's fourth game and their first defeat of the season. January 2-Aurora visited us tonight and we sent them home defeated, 78 to 3. January 9-Peirce City tried her hand at calming the Whirlwinds, but, alas, she was too slow: 56-3. January 10-We journeyed to Jasper and had our first experience on a foreign court, but won, 54 to 8, with most of our regulars out of the game. January 16-To Seneca we journeyed and participated in the roughest game of the season, due to an inexperienced official. We scalped them, 31 to 22. January 24-The Vernon County Seaters from Nevada paid us a visit, and we showed them a taste of basketball' to the tune of 46 to 20. ' January 30--Our friends from Carthage Hi came over to see what they could do toward checking the Whirlwinds. The Whirlwinds got a good start and the referee's whistle was the only thing that could stop them. Score, 41 to 17. February 6-To Nevada we went and to Webb City we returned with our first and only defeat of the season, and that by only one little measly point. We were all off that night and didn't play up to standard. Score, 27 to 28. February 13-Joplin, our friends, the enemy! We knew we could lick them, and we did, 22 to 13. This was a real battle, but the team work of the red and white was superior to that of the red and green. February 20-We returned Carthage's visit and again battled with the blue and white. Carthage shifted players many times in an attempt to stop the mad rush of the Whirlwinds, but to no avail. Score, 25 to 13. Nealy, our guard, and one of the fastest in Southwest Missouri, had to leave the game because of illness. February 25--Joplin came over to make another try at stopping the mighty Whirlw'inds, but we would not have it so. The red and green fought hard, but the red and white fought harder. Score, 35 to 28. .March 4-Seneca came up to let down the curtain for the 1925 season. Their team put upagood fight, but we let down our own curtain and scored 34 to their 24. A qoointg of Syfercgb We won the Association Championship, the Class A Tournament, and the Spring- field State Teachers' College Tournament. A.tta boy! We beat Joplin three times. We had. five players placed on the All-Star Class 'A Team--Mammen, Browning, Harris,'FIy' and Manes. We won over Greenfield, who hadn't lost a game in two years. Captain Mam- men made two more points in the'Greenfield game than Wilson, who holds the world's championship asqtorward. Our guard, Sheckels, and only a Sophomore, held Wilson to 14 points, the least number of points that she has made in a single game in two years. J We had three' of our team placed on the Southwest Missouri All-Star Team- Mammenf Fly and Manes. f Y, Our team has the record of being the cleanest players in the district. We' appreciated Mr. Masters' confidence in us and are certainly proud that we lived up to his expectations. History 17epeats.itself. For thethird time, when selecting a Queen for the Annual, a member ot the basketball squad, Lily Belle' Wayland, was' selected.

The boys' teams were Nevada, Carthage, Springfield, Neosh-o, Monett, Au- . . .s , t . V. . , . 2 '-2+-fm ' A HI 5 'hiv t rora, Joplin, and Webb City. The girls' teams were Carthage, Springfield, Neosho, Monett, Joplin, and Webb City. The boys' games were played on a double elimination plan and the girls' games were on single elimination. 2 Mr. W. E. Byers, of Carthage, Mr. A. H. Weiser, :of Springfield, and Mr. E. Rush, of Aurora, had charge of the tournament. The officials were Mr. P. Alyea, of Pitts- burg, and Mr. T. Vail, of Jasper. The successful teams left for finals were the Nevada and Springfield boys, and the Webb City and Joplin girls. The Neosho boys won the consolation game, which was played with Webb City. One of the surprises of the tournament was the showing of the Webb City boys, who were conceded at the start to have no chance whatever, but fought their Way to the semi-finals. They would have been in line for the highest honors, but for some injuries sustained by some of the best players. The game with Carthage was the most exciting game of the tournament, and proved a little surprise to both teams, the Webb City boys defeating the Carthage quintet, 22 to 18. The Webb City girls, after having defeated Neosho, were given a scare when the Springfield girls slipped up on them and came Within one point of tying the score. Saturday night the grand finals were played. The girls' game did not prove very exciting, as the home girls gained a lead of 12 points, keeping them out of reach of the Joplin girls. The final count was 34-19 in favor of Webb City. Nevada met defeat at the hands of the fast Springfield team, the wonderful team work of the Bulldogs carried them to victory by a large margin. After the games silver loving cups were presented to the winners of the first and second places. Webb City girls and Springfield boys were winners of first place, and Nevada and Joplin received second places. -Tllyiiiefig-?'f '-:I. ' , ,M , Q ..I . .,I.,II,III,I . . SI.

THE FACULTY PARTY. The events of the social season reached a climax in the party given by the faculty 'of the Webb City High School in the gymnasium on Thursday night, Juvember 48, 2314. Excellent music was furnished by Red Rooney's Pastimers. This orchestra is said to be one of the loudest in the country, and can be heard for over a distance of 3 3-4 miles. It consists of a phonograph, two saws, and a pancake turner. Much time and effort was spent in decorating the hall. Huge bouquets of watermelon blossoms, im- ported from Zharas in north-eastern Yunnanfu, adorned the gymnasium. Festoons of early spring cucumbers covered the entire wall, and streamers of black and blue ifaculty colors1 covered the rest of the space. The costumes of the participants added beauty to the dazzling scene. Miss Whitworth looked her best in a pale black dress, trimmed in dark white autumn leaves. Miss Denham appeared in a beautiful sky blue pink chiffon, with India rubber ruffles. Miss Faulkner was the belle of the ball. Her dress was very striking, It was of crimson cheesecloth, trimmed in cement buttons, and with it she wore a green and orange scarf.

Butterfly Dance-Mrs. Hatcher. The Tango-Miss Whitworth and Mr. Carney. Piano Solo-Misses Martha Helm and Henrietta Crotty. Interpretative Dance-Miss Olive Gilmer. The games started again and continued until five o'clock p. m.. when refreshments were served. They were very dainty and consisted of cast-Iron sand- wiches, coal-oil punch, and barbwire wafers. Tooth- picks were served for dessert. The dance was forced to stop earlier than expected, as the teachers had to be upstairs by 8:30 to meet their classes. D. H.

I'm aged with this learning-grown thin with the toil, Sighed a tired little flapper. and frowned. Then a study hall desk held her fair, drooping head. As a dream came of wonders profound. The school house was builded of bon bons and cake, With Wrigleys each piece was held fast: Elevators were humming, fair lads in control- The day of stair climbing was past. The gym was a garden of fountains and flowers, Refreshments were served all the day: On each floor were free booths. with cake-eaters and cokes- Only one required subject, just Play, Miss Crotty taught Movies, Miss Martha taught Smiles, Mr. Grant taught The Popping of Gum : No nerve-racking Latin, no groans over Math - Those who studied were graded as dumb. The study hall provided for freedom from care, With rocking chairs, games, and all that: Ford coupes lined the curbing, at the service of all, Between hours. for a spin and a chat. So the air castle grew and the bubbles sailed high, Then, alas! a wild crash! visions fade: 'Tis the bell and the dreamer is rushing for class To atone with a ten from her grade. DOROTHY MAMMEN. '26. A HORSE. A Horse are a very funny animal. He has fore legs, one tale, and too eyes. He also have two ears and one nose. He are a little bigger than a grasshopper, but not quite as big as a Ford. The Horse have a great many uses. for instance: He can carry too people on his back if they don't way over! one tun a peace. He can pull a waggon full of hay or a buggie full of people. He are also used sum on a farm as: to plow the ground or to take the farmers to town if they don't have a car to go in. Henry Ford said, A Horse: A Horse! My Kingdum for a Horse 'F' But Mr. Ford changed his mind fas all fools do: but which wise men neverl and begun to make Fords. However, the Horse are still in exist- ence. The Prince of Whales has fell from a Horse several times. Now he is riding on a boat. The Horse are supposed to be the most intelligent more like a human person than any other creature. The Horse are a favorite character among the poets. He is given a prominent place in Lowell's Lockin- var and Scott's Version of Sur Longfallf' Many beautifulle peaces of art are also dedicated to the Horse, as The Horse Fare. Many wonderful men are also named after the Horse, as: Horace Gree- ley and Horace Higgins. Thus, the Horse always has and thruout the gen- erations to come always will be a favorite among men and nations. ' JANICE MEREDITH.
