Making the most of life, always the better for trying, loving honesty and sin- cerity, hating pretense, she derives her great- est satisfaction from the affection and admira- tion of her classes. The response from these beloved pupils has been her greatest joy and she feels fully recompensed for what she does. Because of all this beauty that is her life we feel honored to dedicate these efforts to a great teacher and a great lady.

The upper classmen are represented by this group, which negotiates between student, faculty, and often, outside business concerns. This body is composed of members who are representatives of the Senior literature classes. It sponsors elections, plans parties and mixers, arranges the commencement exercises and Senior Day program, selects class jewelry and an- nouncements, and in many ways, brings about a feeling of cooperation and sport- manship between the student body and faculty. The election of class officers is an annual event always looked forward to. The preferential scheme for the nomination and selection of candidates is the plan of Westport adopted by the committee and it has always proved a successful one. The candidates for office are selected by petition and the class as a whole chooses its leaders. The mixers arranged by this group are always colorful affairs. An orchestra is engaged, refreshments are served, a program is presented and evervone is gay. There are usually three of these parties given annually by the Seniors and each seems to be more jovial than the preceding. A yearly duty with a great deal of responsibility, is the selection of the class jewelry. The committee interviews local concerns and makes the choice of the rings and pins for the graduating class. There is a standard W emblem used, but the mounting and shank vary from year to year. The sort of attire to be worn in the graduating exercises is another question of general interest to the class. The representatives announce the selection after a mass meeting of the Seniors has been held. The Senior Luncheon is an event which is always anticipated to be one of great pleasure, as it is an affair of color and zest. It is held immediately after the assembly program on Senior Day and, since it is the last day of school for the Seniors, they make the best of the friendship they have established during the year. The business committee is practically held responsible for the success of this luncheon as it plans the program of speakers and entertainment, and selects the menu to be served. Distributing the Senior caps and participating in the track and field meet on Senior Day are the last duties of this group. It is felt that the committee plays a great part in encouraging fellowship and good sportsmanship among the students, and in creating a closer friendship between pupil and teacher. Ten SENIOR OFFICERS Stuart Evans Powell Aubrey, President BlSSANTZ Helen Fulkerson 1 l-R NT1 Yl CHISHA1N And in due respect to our most dignified positions, we the Seniors of 1031, are proud to be a shining example to those dutiful Juniors who so satisfactorily wait upon their superiors. We too once partook of that delicious food served to us by the faculty, and now that we arc lusty seniors we quit that door of learning, leaving upon its threshold ambitious juniors with the hope of surpassing all precedent We our places to the junior class— with a tear and with a smile— never the less confident that thev will take up the task where we left ofl and will fulfill their eager hepi JUNIOR OFFICERS ill dutiful Juniors should, we sit quietly, content to wait upon our Seniors. We are glad when we witness their successes and hope that c may bring honor to our beloved school. We in orrj for their mistakes and hope that we may profit by them. The faculty has set before us full meals of brain-food and we have eaten heartily in the hope that we might soon grow to be stn mg determined Seniors. Now we stand on the t.l hold of the place we ha e so long desired, and to those who are moving out to give us their places: May the hopes you have foi th years to Be ' nne, . nd the future brirx to Real success ana happi I l l SPII l MaRI t THER1N1 I Rt in |ai ksi in, President |EAN Sparks |i , Eleven  ? — D Boy WAo Has Done A orf or Werf wrf Lyman Field Girl Who Has Done Most for Westport Doris Jackson Best Looking Boy . .

Morse, Westport lost one of the ablest members of the teaching staff. For twenty-five years, successive generations of pupils profited from his lucid presentation and patient, kindly guidance. School officials, faculty associates, alumni and members cf the present student body all testified to Mr. Morse ' s absolute sincerity, his rugged honesty and his sound scholarship. He was a great teacher and a fine, courageous Christian gentleman. — Courtesy Kansas City Star DIED MARCH 13. 1931 MR. J. H. Beckmarn. former principal, whose death oc- cured March 13, was a member of the Westport faculty twenty- one years. He came here in 1908 as teacher of German and was appointed vice-principrl in 1916. After J. L. Shouse was chosen assistant superintendent of schools in 1929, Mr. Beckmann served as principal until the end of the year when he resigned on account of ill health. He returned to Kansas City in December, 1930. to teach mathematics in Central High School. (F. C. Shaw, vice-principal, paid the following tribute to his old associate) : He was one of the most con- scientious men I ever have known. As an administrator he had many perplexing problems which he handled with patience, tact and sympathy. He was quietly efficient and never spared time or strength in the service of the school . Seventy-six Seventy-eight Herald Hieroglyphics (P) N ( I ' gain the Herald Staff struts its stuff. Inspired by the noble efforts of our Illustrious Rivals, the Crier Staff, the Herald Staff presents the following platform. Seated on the platform are : one snappy (!) editor, Doris Jackson; three intelligent ( ?) assistants. Joy Garrison. Nelda Southern, and Virginie Wright ; two high-powered business managers, Paul Brentson and Powell Awbrey : two aggressive sports editors, Lena Wyatt and Leland Hood: and one aesthetic art editor, Leonard Snyder. P. S. Commodore Barmy , ex-office boy, was seated on the platform, but much to his embarrassment fell through a crack and, owing to scratches and bruises, is unable to appear. The planks in our platform are: 1st Plank— (a few splinters). We advocate sliding through as easily as possible. 2nd Plank— (solid mahogam I We advocate leaders as shy and modest as Herbert Spats. 3rd Plank— (extra hard wood). We advocate the building of a memorial to the boys who have served in Westport more than five years. F ' rinstance, Russell Field, George Peck, Bob Garrett, Gene Selders, et cetera.

The Westport Crier, bi-weekly publication of the news-writing class, put a star after its eighteenth year of chronicling by founding The Westport Crier News Bulletin Service during the second semester. Daily, since the week of March 8, 1931, The Crier has posted typewritten summaries of Westport events in its special case, in the first floor corridor. The election of a senior king and quintet of retainers, conceived by The Crier, was greeted with the greatest burst of enthusiasm in school contest history. More than 2,500 ballots were cast in the fun fest. Throughout the year the paper staunchly took its stand for better lighting throughout the school, systematic numbering of the lockers, continued increase in banking percentage, improved acoustics in the auditorium, and a revised Westport handbook. At the first of the year the Westport World War Memorial, advocated by The Crier since 1920. was completed and dedicated in an impressive ceremony. Lastly. 1 he Crier pursued vigorously a policy of giving real news precedence over everything else and definitely refused to play up mere personalities and long past events for appearance ' s sake. Herbert E. Stats, ' 31, was editorial director. JohnX. Booth is faculty supervisor. Eighty-one VKE-F , RE5Hit pvujeu.

The purpose is to represent the students, to further their interests, and to regulate conduct. The spirit is to be helpful not dominating, to protect rather than to punish, to promote responsibility, and to stimulate a high sense of Westport honor. The primary purpose of the Student Council is to obtain closer co- operation between the faculty and the student body. It was organized in February, 1922, when it was considered necessary to have some group to represent the students. Since that time a new Student Council has been elected each semester. Every home room elects one representative and one alternate. These representatives meet bi-weekly on Wednesday to discuss school problems. The Executive Board, consisting of three sophomores, three juniors, and three seniors, is elected from the delegates in their respective classes. Before each council meeting the Executive Board meets to plan the discussion to be brought up the next day. Every matter brought before the council must receive a two-thirds majority in the Executive Board meeting. One faculty member is chosen by each class as its advisor in the council. After each meeting the representatives report back to their home rooms on the matters discussed. During the first semester this year the Student Council did much for the welfare of the school. It stopped the continuous disturbance in the cafeteria, promoted action for cleaning assembly curtain and collected over twenty- three dollars for that purpose, took charge of Student Assembly, and raised the banking record by stimulating the students interest through an assembly. The second semester council also carried out worth while projects. Eighly-six r IS with the most feeling of reverence for the sons of Westport who have sacrificed themselves for the sake ol their country, that such an appropriate memorial to their memory has been erected on the lawn in front of the school, by the classes of nintcen hundred twenty-five to ninteen hundred thirty, inclusive. Westport students always hold this memorial as a memory to their Westport predecessors who fought for their country, lor the common cause of Freedom and Democracy and have made it possible for us to enjoy such happiness as never before known. Westport can hold up her head with pride to know that she was so worthily represented on the battlefield by such noble sons. Standing in the space bordered by the semi-circular walk which leads to the building from Thirty-ninth street and Hyde Park, shrubbery and vine covered stone walls forming an effective background, is the large gray granite block bearing the following inscription on a bronze tablet imbedded in its outer face: In Memory of These Noble Sons of Westport Who Made the Slpreme Sacrifice in the World War.

Shawco John Crone Joe LaBelle Jack Goddard Charles Dreese Wilbur Gay (Head Usher) GjjJ HESE, the assembly ushers, developed from an original idea of Mr Banister who first installed them last year. This year under the guid- ance of Mr. Shaw, they have quite fulfilled the expectations of Mr Banker Since the enrollment of Westport exceeds the seating capacity of our audi- torium, ,t is the duty of the usher to seat as many as possible and to keen order among those not seated. The R. O. T. C. department has greatly assisted in this procedure by often times forfeiting their seats. Mr. 1 lolloway highly commends Mr. Shaw on this splendid work. The ushers were selected from Mr. Banister s drafting classes. They have officiated at class plays and other programs that were held in the auditorium during the year. Eighty-nine STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR HONOR ROLL STUDENT who has received for a semester two solid E ' s and one solid S with no grade below M is placed on the Honor Roll. Two non-solid E ' s equal one solid E. When he has received the grades for two consecutive semesters, he becomes an Honor Student. The award for two consecutive semesters is a bronze pin, for four consecutive semesters a silver pin, and for six consecutive semesters a gold pin. A student, at graduation, receives a gold pin with one pearl and one star on commencement program for twelve solid E ' s and six solid S ' s. For eighteen solid E ' s or fifteen solid E ' s with six non-solid E ' s, one is awarded a gold pin with two pearls and also two stars on commencement program. A gold pin with three pearls and three stars on commencement program is given to the student making twenty-two solid E ' s or eighteen solid E ' s and eight non-solid E ' s.

The play was highly successful, both as a dramatic event and a financial enterprise.

Ninety-nine Debate Teamis SECOND HOUR TNDER the able supervision and direcrion of A. S. Humphrey, Westport s two debate teams chosen - « r ° m j se{ 2 l. a fourth hour public speaking classes, made a very good showing in debates with Wyandotte High School in Kansas City, Kansas this year. The second hour team met the team from Wyandotte in our auditorium during assembly, and discussed the question, Resolved Thar the Jury System Be Abolished Of course since it was senate debate, there was no decision handed down, but it was gen- erally conceded that our boys brought forth more convincing arguments, had better stage presence and accepted unfavorable rulings of the chairman with more grace than did Wyandotte. FOURTH HOUR WEEK after the contest held at Westport, the fourth hour team went to Wyandotte and debated the same subject, the jury system, with another Wyandotte team. This time, however, Westport defended the jury, and Wyandotte took the offensive, whereas before, the positions had been reversed Uespite the time honored custom of not judging senate debates, a prominent lawyer of this city asked to listen to the debate, and give his opinion of the arguments advanced bv each side. And when the close ol the debate, he announced his decision, the verdict was in favor of Westport. One Hundred wa at The Public Speaking Department GljpHE year ' s course in Public Speaking which estport oilers is one of greatest interest and value to the student, for whatever walk of life he chooses to prepare himself. The value of clearness and organization of thought, and courage, conviction, and spontaneity in the expression of it can hardly be over-esti- mated, and it is upon these qualities that the course lays stress. Declamation and knowledge of parlimentary and occasional procedure are placed second in value to originality, naturalness, and power in speech. At the beginning of the course a short time is spent in the study of Parlia- mentary Law , since this, because of its formal efficiency, is used in so many or- ganizations and projects. As illustrations, nominating conventions and elections of local and national officers are held. These, besides affording opportunity for practice in Parliamentary Law, also allow expressions of opinion on the important and interesting ouest ' ons of the day. I he next step is a series of Senate Debates. Questions of national and world importance are chosen by the students, the entire class, divided into affirmative and negative according to opinion upon the subject, tak ' ng part in the debate. Each debater studies the question, and speaks first upon any phase of it which he chooses. Debate is then opened, the Open Forum style being emphasized. Need- less to say, this offers great advantages of free and rapid thinking and expression which the formal cut-and-dried style lacks. A study is next made of the eulogy, expressing appreciation and praise, and the invective, expressing disgust and condemnation. Several subjects, generally men, often institutions and ideas, are chosen by each student. Formation and con- vincing expression of opinions and emotions are thus encouraged and trained. Following this is the Occasional Address, the most dignified and formal instance of public speaking. This embraces dedication or commemoration of some great work or achievement, a monument, a church, an edifice built for public use and benefit. Solemnity, majesty, praise, and appreciation, may find expression in this. Then comes a study and rendering of the formal toast, used upon so many- occasions, and, finally at the suggestion of the students, a mock trial, a lighter climax to a year of more serious work. Opportunities of practice in puhlic speaking, and of putting practice into use are provided by the Star Oratorical Contest, the two annual plays, the Senate debates with other High Schools of the city, and occasions when national holidays are honored in assembly. And thus the entire course tends toward the development of the qualities of clearness, force, and earnestness in speech and thought. Useless, superficial decla- mation and wordiness are discouraged. The purpose, of course is the development of the ability to respond creditably to the many occasions and situations which so often and perhaps so unexpectedly present themselves, and in that connection, it is easy to see the value of the studj ol Public Speaking. It has been said by the graduates of Westport that they are di ided into two groups -those who have studied with Mr. Humphrey ' s instruction, and those who wish they had One Hundred Urn- ' fp s ¥M HJjH mM. 1 v c Tvfl tv .

It was organized in 1908 with Miss Ruth Mary Weeks as its first advisor. Mr. A. S. Humphrey gave the club the name, Pundit, which means, a wise man , and it has well been proven that we differ from this given definition only in the respect that we are, wise girls . This year, as usual, Pundit has been well represented in student activities. Two of the R. O. T. C. sponsors are Pundits. The president and the secretary of the Junior class are also Pundits. A Pundit was elected secretary of the Student Council, the first term. Pundit Type, our newspaper, is published every meeting. The paper con- sists of editorials, essays, book reviews, stories, society, lost and found, crime, news and our newest column. Around the Metropolis which is written with apologies to Landon Laird, writer of About Town in the Kansas City Star. A most popular event in Westport is the Pundit spring dance. The feature of the evening is the crowning of the Pundit Queen, the girl, who in the club ' s opinion, has benefited it most. Several years ago, a tea at the Muehlebach with the Aristonions of Central was an annual event and the Pundits this year attempted to renew this custom only to be met with a new faculty ruling that no social functions may be held outside of school. It is with regret that we, the Pundits of 1931, necessarily give up this delightful entertainment and we hereby dedicate this Herald page to Central ' s inimitable Aristonians.

Besides educational meetings there are other meetings more enter- taining to the members. Spanish games are played, a party is planned and there is always the Spanish Club picnic at the end of the school year. Thisyear the Spanish Club was handicapped by lack of good material due to the decrease in the Spanish Department. But the small group composing the club were enthusiastic and ever planning to better promote the interests of the club. Probably the most interesting meeting of the year was the visit of the Mexican consul. He showed many interesting pictures of Mexican architecture and other articles to the club. His daughter sang two Spanish songs which were well liked by all present. The meeting proved interesting to all.

One Hundred Eighteen The Clay Club GJIpHE purpose of the Clay Club is the mental improvement of all connected with it, in the fields of literature, debate, oratory, and forensic activity . It is the only W cstport charter club which gives its attention wholly to development in speech, and as a direct consequence its members take the lead in school activities. Forensic training is leadership training. The Clay Club devotes itself to this object, with excellent results. It ' s not to be denied that the Clay Club is a regular humdinger. Johnny-on-the- spot, when it comes to doing anything. This explains why the Clay Club has been on top all year. The Junior representative from Westport who spoke for the Liberty [emorial was a Clay. The football squad was strengthened by several Clay members. Three members of the Christmas Play cast, and as many from the debate team were Clays. Two of the three cheer leaders, and several on the basket ball teams, are proud to claim membership in the Clay Club. And every Monday night, when the Boy ' s High School Club meets, nearly two-thirds of the Clay members are present. Is it any wonder that it is a mark of distinction to wear the Clay pin — Westport Crier, Feb. 10. 1920. The Clay Club of 193 1 has maintained the high standard of eleven years ago. We claim as members three Clays in the school oratorical finals, four football lettermen. two Clays in the senior play, five school debaters, and all three cheer leaders. And it was a Clay who won the gold medal in a city-wide literary contest. Two Clays are Hi-Y officers and many are members. Is it any wonder that it is still a mark of distinc- tion to wear the Clay pin ? The reaction of the majority of sophomores on their entrance into senior high school is one of subjection and perhaps even awe. Yet everyone has various talents and the outcroppings of these talents are bound to make their appearance — even in a sopho- more. It is literary value that counts in Clay and through participation in programs the sophomore gets as much fine training as upper classmen. Thus in the Clay Club a sophomore may acquire ability that will mean much to him in his later years of high school. Nearing the end of our second year, we juniors in Clay feel that we have received the best part of the training and self-improvement available. We have become regulars and are prepared to take full part in club activities. Senior year is the time of reaping the greatest benefits of one ' s work ; but we juniors feel that this year we have gotten our greatest benefit from Clay. After three years in Westport, a senior in Clay has much to remember with pleasure — the talent which impressed him, a new member, the speeches, fiery discussion, and extensive projects, from the meetings; the leadership by Clays in the school activities; and the development he himself has received through the experience in speech he gained in Clay. The seniors of ' 31 remember Clay ' s outstanding record with pleasure: we charge the younger members to maintain that standard, It has been our purpose in writing this page to give the whole schocl an under- standing of what the Clay Club is and does, and to tell desirable prospective mcml i i who are new in Westport what a bid to Clay promises. Clay seeks only the talented Westporters, that they may there best develop their abilities and train themselves to give their best for both themselves and Westport. One Hundred Nineteen IjpROM an exquisite array of loveliness we selected one whom we chose to call our queen. Let us pause for a moment that we may bow humbly at the feet of our liege lady, Miss Marguerite Bissantz and her attendants who reign supreme in the pages of the 1931 Herald. Ah, queen, we only have one boon to ask. Give us but a glance at the beauty of thy face, and we will go on our way contented. And in the years to come may we return to view again thy radiant beauty and lovely charm. One Hundred Twenty Photo by Emery. Vhlstrom ies to the Queen Thelma Miller Photo by Emery, Bird Jennette Smith Mary LeI Iuquei Phot ll ' l M KaNI One Hundred Twenty-one MONG the outstanding clubs in Westport High School is the Irving Literary Club for the boys Irving is one of the oldest clubs in Westport, and through the years has built up a reputation which is hard to equal. In the ranks of the Irving Club are many members prominent in school life. Although the club was lounded on a literary basis, one of the qualifications to gain entrance to the club is leadership. Good grades are further qualifications of the Irving Club. Not only must one have good grades to get in the club, but one must also keep his grades up in order to stay in the club. This tends toward keeping the members always working for some goal. Irving is also noted for the quality of its members. For the past number of years, all the Rhodes Scholars sent to England have at one time or another been members of the Irving Club. We are espe- cially proud of this fact because it makes us feel that our club really is doing something worth while in the life at Westport. It is the purpose of the Irving Club to develop literary ability in its members. All the members are given a chance to work along some line of literature, whether it be short story, essay, or some kind of speaking. Also to stay in the club the members must take part in the program which precedes the business meeting. In this manner some literary instinct in the members is developed. But do not think that all we do in the club is to study literature. Twice a year the Irvings have a joint dance with the Clays, once in the fall and again in the spring. These events are looked on as being among the two best in the school year. Also to add spice to the life of the Irving Club, once a year we have a contest with the Clays, in which we match literary ability. The most important feature of this contest is the debate. Both clubs have some very good entries in the contest. The Irving Club creates a spirit of fellowship in its members. Strong friendships are established within the bonds of the club. Our club adds much to the life of its members. It aids in maintaining and creating school spirit. Irving has done some noble work in the past in the life of Westport- It is the erstwhile desire of all the members that it continue this work among the future students of Westport. The Irving Club owes much to its fine advisor, Mr. Heinberg. We wish to thank him at this time for his splendid cooperation and hearty support of the club and its work. He has given us his time and advice, which keeps us going along the right line in our work. Irvings have much to work for in upholding the name of the club. Being a literary club, it was named after Washington Irving, the great American writer. We are justly proud to have him as our namesake. This also gives us something to live up to and work for. School is drawing to a close now. The Irving Club will be breaking up until next year. The senior members will be going on to college or out into the bu siness world. The underclassmen will stay to cam- on the work of the club next year. May the club continue to grow under their guidance, and may the name of Irving be on every lip in Westport.

He did all that could he expected of him and more, especially on defense, when he broke up many of the plays that came hi way Herbert Swede Larson Halfback and End Swede was the team ' s most accurate passer. His hne spirit and dependable play was a great asset to the strength of the team. Earl Garret -------- Tackle Red ' Garret was one of the strong points of the line both on offense and defense. The chief characteristic of his work was his hard tackling. Orrin James -------- Orrin was one of the speediest and shiftiest backs in the city. He was probably the best ball carrier on the team. Donald Ball -------- Guard An adept at stopping plays that came his way. W ayne Ulery -------- Guard Another who was lost in midseason because of an injury but he gave a good account of him- self before he was hurt. John Crane --------- Guard Playing his first year of football, John held his own against more experienced gridsters mainly because of his gameness and low charging. George Trinastich {Capt.) - - - Fullback Although handicapped the greater part of the year by a bad ankle. George was too valuable . to be left on the sidelines. His courage, leader- ship and knack of calling the right plays made him outstanding. His injury probably caused him to be named on the second All-Star team. Drew Thomas - - - Center Drew climaxed his three years of football for Westport by winning a place on the Inter- scholastic All-Star team. He was a power on defense and his passing was much better this Marshall Walker ------- End Walker s great height was a good advantage in catching passes and also aided him in breaking up any plays that came his way. Roy Florea --------- Roy ' s brilliant work at end also caused him to be given a berth on the All-Star team. His special talent lay in receiving passes. Hi ing punts pulled the team out of many a tight place. Donald Macon -------- Tackle Macon had the size and scrappiness a tackle- needs which he used to good advantage, much to the sorrow of opposing teams. In case of need he also held down the center position. Clifford Rider ------- Tackle Kept out most of the season by a broken foot, Rider showed that he still had his old fighting spirit, whenever he was able to play. Vn i or Gibson ----- Quarterback V ic Gibson is a heady player and a good passer, but unfortunately he received a badly sprained ankle and was unable to play most of the games. Ciro Ramirez ------- Halfback Ciro was an unusual player in that he always kept a cool head. He could always be depended upon to get his man. Daniel Sheely ------- Halfback Dan was a hard hitting back who would do his part regardless of what it cost, either to himself or to opponents. William Cochran ------ Halfback Bill ' s passes were always unexpected because he was a southpaw . Kline Martjnek ------- Guard A Junior who knew what his job was and did it, which is a great comfort to any coach. Linwood Van Horn ------ Guard Van Horn ' s use of his hands made him a dangerous man to send a play against. His fighting spirit made him unwilling to be taken out of the game even when he was injured. Ill and Hood - - - - Guard and Halfback Lcland started the season as halfback but was changed to guard where he was able to perform much better than he had been. William Traub ------- Halfback Bill ' s size and speed make him one of the most useful men on the team.

One llunJrcJ Thin s Roy Florea - ------- Forward Roy was themost consistent scorer we had, finishing tfetpjp among the leading scorers of the Inter-Sfiholastic League. His floor work was excellent also. He won a position on the Star and Journal-Post, All-Star teams and also on the St. Joseph State All-Star team. He-rtjert Swede Larson - - - Center It was unfortunate that so few from West- port could see the state tournament for that was the place in which Swede hit his real stride. Time after time he would get the tip-off at center giving our team a tremen- dous advantage. Theodore Wiklund - - - - - Guard Wiklund continued his old habit of last year of breaking unexpectedly for the basket to score which was a big factor in the total of Westport points. Although handicapped by a weak knee he did his part so well that he was placed on the Journal-Post and Starljfecond All-Star teams and won honorable mention in the St. Joseph Gazette. Earl Red Garrett ----- Guard Garrett showed probably the greatest im- provement of all during the past season. His greates . merit lay in his ability to keep the other team from scoring, although he was quite a dependable scorer himself. His play in the state tournament was recognized by- honorable mention in the St. Joseph Gazette. Victor Gibson ------- Forward ' Vic was another of those small, fast men like Howard Combs. He was an excellent floor man and a fair scorer. His greatest weakness lay in defense. Doubtless he will correct this next year, to become a first-rate player. Marshall Walker ------ Center Walker ' s great height makes up for his lack of speed. His floor game at present is ahead of his scoring game. If he improves as much next year as he did this he should be a potent factor in the team ' s play. Wilbur Cowboy Baldridge - - Guard Like Larson Cowboy played his best games in the state tournament. He sank the goal in the William Chrisman game that won the contest. His defensive play was a bright spot in any game. He also received honorable mention on the St. Joseph ' s Gazette All- State team. Harold Cornelison Guard Cornielson ' s quiet temperament made his shots accurate and a constant reminder that he should be watched. He was better as an offensive than as a defensive man. THE SEASON ' S PLAY IIS year Westport had the most successful team since John Waldoof, Scott, Kennedy, and their . cohorts graduated. The championship narrowly escaped our grasp because of an unaccountable inability to hit the basket in two games. Northeast, the champion, was defeated by a smooth working combination of speed and accuracy which showed the real caliber of our team. Westport rounded out its season by defeating Manual to win second place. Coach Newman also used a different system of play this year which made the teams ' defense practically air-tight and its offense deadly. For the first time in five years, Westport won the right to compete in the state tournament at Columbia, Missouri, by getting to the finals of the district tournament over three teams which had defeated it in the regular season. At Columbia, our group won fourth place. The terrific struggle with William Chrisman so tired our players that they had no pep for the next game and were defeated. Four regulars will graduate, but Gibson, Sullivan, Schofield and Walker will return next year.

C. A. C. meets. Westport finished third in both meets with eight points. Westport ' s next contest was against Paseo. Westport had only three Iettermen and Paseo was smarting under a defeat administered to them the week before. These two things made a combination our squad could not overcome However, James with firsts both in the 220 and 440 dashes, Nance with a first in the half-mile, with a second in the pole-vault and Roberson with seconds in the broadjump and shotput, showed that Westport had athletes of noticeable ability also. It was a sad day for Manual when she met Westport. Manual had to content herself with only 12 points while our team ran riot over the field. Westport took all the firsts except in the century and 220 low hurdles. Nance, James, Roberson, the relay team (Catron, Davey, Trueblood, James), Thomas, Larson, Campbell, Larson and Silver, tied for first in the high- jump. Several of the boys won more than one first and others placed second only to a better Westport man. Nearly everyone who competed won a letter that day. The times of the runners and hurdlers were slower and the distances of the field men were shorter than usual because of the soggy and muddy condition of the track and field. Mr. Evans intends to take a relay team to Columbia, Missouri. A part of the relay men will also compete in the dashes If Nance cuts his time a little more, which he doubtless will, Mr. Evans will take him also. The prospects of the team standing well up in the winners column is pretty good. The track men are as fast or faster than any other school in the city. The field men need only to become a little more proficient and they will be dangerous competitors for city honors. The hurdlers are handicapped by the lack of hurdles with which to practice. One Hundred Thirty-eighl One Hundred Thirty-nine SEXIOF JUNIORS One Hundred Forty SMART, resounding crack of a stick against the horse hide ball, a wild yell from rhe Juniors, a groan from the Seniors, and the final whistle proclaimed the Juniors hockey champions for 1930. The teams of this season were unusually well matched, and, contrary to expectation, there was p. surprisingly strong Sophomore team. Of course, the average girl athlete in high school does not pre- tend to come near the perfection of stick work and strategy obtained by college or club players, but surprising results were achieved by the Juniors and Seniors under the able instructions ol Miss Bradley. We feel that we have a right to be justly proud of the games which were played on the triangle this year. The Sophomores, though defeated in every game, came very near to upsetting the upper class girls. In each game their forward line made serious threats against the Junior and Senior goals, and opposing players found it hard to break through their strong defense for a goal. The Seniors, though failing to capture the honors, played an aggressive game. Aided by a strong backficld, their more experienced forwards were able to pile up a creditable score. The Juniors had a uniformlv strong team, and with the additional help of an exceptionally fast forward line they managed to defeat their opponents in every game by a slight margin. To quote Miss Bradley: They had that final punch necessary to make trie score which would defeat their oppon- ents . High point scorers were Kathlyn Andrews ' 31, 11, Amelia Mayer ' 32,9, with Dorothy O ' Donnell ' 31, and Rosemond ' 32 following closely with 8.

The teams defied all predictions as to which would win the contests. The games were fast, and a high quality of basket ball was displayed by the players. The first contest, Sophomores versus Juniors, ended in a 44 to 14 victory for the Juniors. They deserve a great deal of credit for their fine offensive play. The Sophomore-Senior game was captured with difficulty by the Seniors. The Sophomores played a strong defensive game, and the Seniors were able to win only by the slight score of 19 to 16. Trie first Junior Senior game proved to be unusuallj exciting. Despite the fact that the Juniors were favored to win, the Seniors plaved a brilliant game and defeated them 17 to 17. The Seniors, handicapped bv a temporary loss of players in the second game against the Sophomores, were defeated 9 to 22. The Sophomores were again victorious as the Juniors bowed before them with the short end of the 22 to 20 score. Though the score was close, the Sophomores deserve much credit for their fine aggressive playing. The last Junior-Senior game ended the season and left the Juniors with a 38 to 50 victory.

The high school graduate is soon to take his place in the ranks of men and with them will take an active part in business 1 raining makes a man or woman competent. One of the functions of the school is to offer adequate training. It is the duty of the student to make the most of this opportunity. I j pew riting is so essential today that almost everyone should know how to use a typew riter. The use of the typew riter is no longer confined to the realm of business but it has become almost a necessity to the individual whether he be a student, a salesman or an employee. It is almost an essential equipment of the home. More pupils take typewriting than any other commercial subject. The person who is getting an education can well afford to consider the advantages to be derived from learning to typewrite. Its proper technique can be easily acquired by the student who is interested. Accountancy occupies second place in regard to the number of pupils who are studying commercial subjects. Fundamental principles and practices are so pre- sented as to give a broad field of training. Managerial accounting principles applied to business situations makes possible present day organization efficiency. The student learns how to apply accounting principles ' to his own affairs as well as to operating a business. Shorthand is so universally used in the business office that it occupies the third place in popularity of pupils studying it. So many opportunities for initial employment requires a use of shorthand today that more boys get th ' s training while they are in high school in order to be qualified to get certain jobs down-town Experience today shows that many young men when seeking a job are confronted w ith such questions as these: Have you had shorthand 1 Can you operate a type- writer 1 If you can do this kind of work, we can put you on ' . Commercial law is a subject that can well be selected by students who are majoring in accounting or those who are wanting general business training. It gives an opportunity for developing the power to reason and exercise good judg- ment in application of legal principles to business and personal affairs. Commercial arithmetic is offered for the benefit of those students who feel the need of more training in applying the fundamentals of arithmetic to problems relating to busines,. ■■nee training deals with the fundamentals of business as to principles and procedure. The student gains a viewpoint of business as to what employees do when employed and how it is done. A class in salesmanship might well be offered in this department since so many people eventually go into some phase o I selling. There is also need of a class in Business ( brrespondence for those students who are specializing in commercial work and (eel the need of more training in English when applied to business Civilization has made progress during the past twenty-fivi business and science have been at work; travel through the air and under water has been developed: through the radio our voices travel around the world: the automobile has changed our way ol living: electrical appliances and inventions have taken the drudgeries out of the home, the office, the factory : the movies talk and man has be- come a manipulator of human and material machinery.
