The same loyalty to his school and his friends, the same enthusiasm in sports, the same pride in scholastic achievement . . . these mark the Westporter old and new. The same mementos-a pressed corsage, a senior ring, newspaper clippings, a jaunty Pep Club cap, club crests and invitations-have been treasured through the years. And yet there are differences, too. Each class looks to the future, and leaves behind a picture of itself. Upsetting uncertainties such as war, the atomic age and an unsure and changing future, are just a few of the problems facing today's youth. But these 1952 Westporters are better informed and educated, better trained and less sorry for themselves than their predecessors. They have learned that they must try to make the best of the difficult job of keeping peace in the world, and this they will do at any cost.

Uwqxvrw, 1 a---v.----A mem, All the worltl's iz stage, And all the men und women merely players. -William Shakespeare. Miss Edna Gales, beloved friend and teacher, loved the role she chose to play upon this stage-u life filled with service to young people. She never hesitated to say that she enjoyed every minute as a teacher. It was such love and devotion that endeared her to students through the years. In her years at Greenwood School, West Junior High School, Westport Junior High School and Westport Senior High School, she encouraged her pupils to continue in their fields of interest and many are outstanding in the theater, in musical circles, and in other professions. Her interests were many. Miss Gales spent much time in professional theater Work and she did some news- paper publicity work. At one time she served as president of the Ruhl-Hartman School district. But above all, she will be remembered as a true friend. One who sees you through untl through Understands the things you tio, Keeps on pulling just for you- Thut's u friend. One who trusts you ull the while Grips your huntl und shares u smiled Bears no thought unless worthwhile- Il Thut's u friend. A 9 X T TVN- V' FEQQSL'-.

After going through the fun of the first days, purchasing elevator passes, renting assembly seats, and buying a cafeteria tray, we were inducted into the Westport Way. Some of the highlights of the year included the pageant, THE SPIRIT OE WEST- PORT, and SPEECH ON PARADE, directed by Miss Edna Gales. September, 1948-49-freshmen at last! This was a Presidential election year, too, and much excitement resulted from the election of a Native Son. We joined Lit societies and departmental clubs and we felt that we were well on our way toward becoming full-fledged Westporters. 1949-50-Centemzial Year commemorated Kansas City's prosperous history. Com- munity activities added to the many school events made this sophomore year a happy and busy one. The school year was short, but it was highlighted by another first-place basketball team. The biggest event of our junior year was another championship in basketball. By this time, it was getting to be a habit. We were equally proud of Donald Stackhouse, head of the Kansas City R.O.T.C. regiments. We took the A.C.E., mathematics and junior English tests during this year. Much to our sorrow, we lost our R.O.T.C. unit because of low enrollment. Meet Me In St. Louis and Men Are Like Streetcarsu were big hits. As seniors in the year 1951-52, we were not oblivious of the chaotic state of the world, the threat of inflation and other momentous problems, but first and foremost we were impressed by the fact that we had reached the end of our five-year school program. Tiger Dens, intersociety dance, and plans for the literary contest filled our leisure moments. Finally that rare day in june arrived and we marched down the aisle dressed in caps and gowns to the strains of Pomp and Circumstancef' Our high school days were over and we were left with our memories of the best school of them all.

F xxx X Xxilff ff ff lgel' poczef I QCLJ All Aboard! All Aboard! On the 1972 sight-seeing Tiger Rocket, leaving on sky shoot number three, in exactly five atomic minutes. May I carry your bags, comes a timid voice from behind. It is none other than Charles Scott. Charles tells us that he is still doing a little magic on the side. just the other day he sawed his assistant, Roy Nichols in half. QRoy is in the hospital now suffering from a split personalityj. Upon reaching the rocket, our pilot, Charles Dodson, after throwing Bill McCarthy, a ragged hobo off the rocket, flipped a switch and we were on our way. Our first stop is the Library of Congress in Washington. A book titled Life in a Sewer or Home Sweet Home, catches our eye, and we notice that it was written by Jackie White the famous novelist. just then from out of the book crawled a little green bookworm. EEEKKK! This scteech brings Helyn Cassidy, the librarian, who asks us very politely to leave. In our rush to leave we almost collide with David Bradley, the Dean of Vassar and his charming wife, Helen Ferguson. Phyllis Roger's Swap Shop in New York is our second stop. She gave us some tickets to the theater, so we dashed to the Roxy Theater to see Sandra Collins, Barbara Power, and Marion Calvin in Bob's Other Babe, the sequel to john's Other Wife. We see that Karyl Unruh finally got into the theater, there she is now taking tickets. Charles Brewer also works here, here he comes now, Popcorn, peanuts, crackerjacksln The Tiger Rocket speeds us next to Pennsylvania where we visit the Bolch and Stower Circus. The tent lights dim and the ring master, Reginald Brodie introduces, Max Moxley the daring lion tamer who puts his head in the lion's mouth. CMax always did know how to use his headj. Later we saw Mary McMahon and Stewart Bradshaw fly through the air with the greatest of ease on the high trapeze. We wave goodbye to Isabel and janet and their circus, and with both jets wide open we zoom over the Colorado Mountains. Down below we see that Shirley Marcus, the famous archaeologist has finally succeeded in digging up a man. We can't see his face very well, but he looks something like Jimmy Ervin. A short distance from there we see Loretta Gulaian and Polly Palmer, the Cattle Kings, with Bernard Benson and his B Bar B Riders on the prairie rounding up the cattle. While streaking over Wyoming the rocket punctured a jet on a sharp cloud, and we are forced to land at Gunter's Gas Garage. His wife Nancy Yeager, fixes the jet while Bob chats with us. just then over the radio-vision, the news commentator, Robert Rand, announces that Marjorie Knop has just completed her twentieth attempt to swim the English Channel, and that Jane Carmichael is the first woman senator of Missouri. Tin-Can Alley in California is our next stop. The name Tom Walters on a mailbox rings a familiar bell, and we recall that he received the No Bell Prize for finding the lost chord. Robert Kruger also a resident of the Alley, is famous for finishing the Unfinished Symphony. Extra! Extra read all about it, Barbara Stacy was voted girl they would most like to rescue by the Podunk Fire Department, shouts a news boy who looks very much like Russell Roberts. Down the street We hear a voice saying, Chicken in every pot and a television set in every house. As we go closer we see that it is Herbert Simon giving his campaign speech for President. In the crowd around Herbert we see Pat Tucker, Miss America of 1954, and Jean Timmons who tells us that she is working for a dentist, D. I. Pullum. Bidding farewell to Pat and Jean, we speed to Texas for a bite to eat at Kean's Kitchen. Carrie informs us that Carolyn Maret has a shop down the street called Maret's Mortuary, and that Dorothy Hyatt is putting her artistic ability to work in carving tombstones. just then Dan X o . Q , O , , , , , , Z Lowe, half owner of the High Lowe Greeting Company comes in and we renew old acquintanceship . B with him. Cafnlql -l-'let'-te Our next stop is Oklahoma, where we visit Derge's Wrestling Arena. Bob gives us tickets at I the ringside to watch Rex Bonecrusher Hedding and jerry Georgeous George Shapiro, wrestle Q jf for the world's championship. Q We wearily board the rocket for the trip home. When We arrive back at the station, a m E timid voice from behind says, May I carry your bags, Oh, No! this is where we came in. 7 lll x X c 9 5 . , .':l il T l' ,ffl Qs as-3 W 0 A . will' , me-'ij A S X 5 g-i l o , 0 f , If wg-gg, gg p p 1 .

X Un interes por nuestros vecinos de habla espanola junto con el deseo de adelantar el uso de espanol en la escuela superior de VVes'tport sirvieron del doble proposito para fundar el Circulo Calderon de Vlfestport. El Circulo se organizo el 15 de marzo de 1910, y el Sr. F. L. Phillips fue el primer consejero. Se cree que es el club espanol de mas anos al oeste del Rio Misisipi. Actualmente la Srta. dona Velma Shelley es la consejera. Todas las sesiones se conducen de acuerdo con las reglas parlamentarias en espanol, pro- cedimiento que les ofrece a los alumnos oportunidad de adquirir facilidad en hablar la lengua. Viendo peliculas,pjugando a juegos espanoles y cantando canciones hispano-americanas, se da mayor interes a los programas. Colors: Red and gold. Motto: Adelante, siempre, adalante! An interest in our Spanish speaking neighbors, along with a desire to promote the use of the Spanish language in Westport high school served as the two-fold purpose for the founding of West- port's El Circulo Calderon. The club was organized March 15, 1910, and Mr. F. L. Phillips was the original sponsor. It is believed that it is the oldest Spanish Club west of the Mississippi. Miss Velma Shelley is the present sponsor. All of the meetings of this club are conducted in Spanish which gives the students an opportunity to develop a fluency in speaking the language. Seeing motion pictures, playing Spanish games, and singing Latin-American songs were some of the highlights of the meetings. First iamefter OFFICE Second semester Helen Gonzales .....,.. .......

Motto: Paint true reflections. This club takes its name from jules Guerin, the famous Missouri artist, who graciously gave a portfolio of his church paintings to the club. The Jules Gerin Art Club, which is sponsored by Miss Shelton Wilhite, was founded in December, 1923. It is under her guiding influence that this organization has successfully passed its twenty-ninth year. Each graduating member presents the club with a piece of his work at the end of the year.

Westport-14 Rosedale-0 The Westport Tigers opened their 1951 grid campaign with only five returning lettermen, but fought their way to two touchdowns in the second half to win their only pre-season tilt. Westport-7 Northeast-12 A vastly outweighed and outmanned Westport team came close to causing a surprising upset. Behind at the half by twelve points, the Tigers fought back and rang up one touchdown. They were well on their way to another before an intercepted pass stopped their drive late in the fourth quarter. Westport-20 Central-30 The Central Eagles, with George Hess showing the way with five touchdowns, overcame the hustling play of the Tigers in a contest which saw the lead change hands five times in the hard fought contest. Westport-7 Southeast-14 The Tigers played their best all around game of the season against the heavily favored Knights of Southeast. They outplayed the Knights, and except for the two scores, played the entire game in Southeast territory. . Jim Toevs--Quarterback . Dick Reese-Center 3. james Moore--Guard 4.

But in the second half, the speed of the hustling Westport squad came to the fore, and four more touchdowns were scored before the final gun. Westport-0 East-27 A little, hustling, spirited East team literally tore the Tigers to pieces. The Westport team was helpless throughout the entire game and did its best to hold the Bears to 27 points. Westport-7 Southwest-33 The Southwest Indians found the Tiger team easy prey and had no trouble downing the Bengals, Although Westport scored once, the Tigers never were a threat. Westport-7 Paseo-41 Westport played spiritless ball and the Tigers ended the season with a somewhat dismal game brightened by the play of the Tiger reserves who finally pushed over a score late in the game. 1.

ITP P5ll3UI'l Qtrirzr Volume Thirty-Nine September 27, 1951 Number 1 New Student Council Members Begin Yeur's Work With Plans For Tiger Den First Teen Town To Be Held September 29 In Gymnasium The scheduling of the dates for Tiger Dens was first on the agenda at the meeting of the Student Coun- cil, September 19, in the room of the sponsor, Miss Eva Bechtel. Naoma Guilford, chairman of the Den Committee, announced that the first teen town will be held Saturday evening, September 29. Dates for fol- lowing meetings were, Friday, Octo- ber 12g Saturday, October 27, and Saturday, November 10. Other plans discussed at the meet- ing included the planning of a con- test to choose a suitable design for a Westport seal, a clean-up campaign in the cafeteria, safety programs, and improvements for the Tiger Den. The new members of the executive board attending this meeting wore: juniors: Helen Ruf, Marilyn Linde- man, Sandra Owens, and Beverly Goodbrakeg sophomores : Homer Riggs, Judy Anthony, and Dale Hoff- man: freshmen: Lenore Yeager, Bon- nie Hill, Fred West, and Lucille Rie- gelman. The names of the room rep- resentatives will be printed in the next issue. Crier ln Step With The Times The Crier staff has voted into ef- fect a money-saving plan which the members feel will bring the Crier closer to the level of a daily paper and at the same time allow more money to be spent in printing a big- ger and better Herald. This change, as the student has no doubt observed, is a switch from the enamel type finish previously used, to a produc- tion gloss paper which most other high schools now use quite satisfac- torily. The staff feels, however, that the hundred-pound enamel finish which was used in the past will look better bound in the yearbook and therefore, the Criers bound in the back of the Herald, will be printed on the enamel finish paper. TIGER DEN plans are being discussed by the new officers of the Executive Board. Seated left to right: Naoma Guilford, Bill Abel, Florence Snidow.

E ast Game Council Cites Youth Needs Tentative plans for the Tiger Den, plans for securing the Junior College swimming pool for summer lessons, and regular community centers, were just a few of the projects brought before the first regular meeting of the Westport-Roanoke Community Council by the cha-irman of the Youth Committee, Mrs. J. A. Power. The meeting was held in the Westport auditorium, September 5. Mr. T. H. Carmichael, president, presided. Dr. George Percival, pastor of the Saltergate Methodist church in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England, talked on the subject, In the Ser- voce of Youthm. He was the exchange pastor at the Trinity Methodist church of Kansas City. ' nf' --Q-N-- 'i' ' -.,...-' 9-2-,, -8 - Co-operation Pays Off Mr, Bill Toedman's heart is as big as his truck that he loaned the Westport football team to collect scrap metal and waste paper to ob- tain money for the purchase of foot- ball equipmentf' Coach Bourette made this statement as he was ex- pressing his appreciation for the work done by Bud Bunnell, Max Mox- ley, Ed Alexander and Don Edwards. These boys collected enough metal and papers to buy approximately 25 new jerseys at a cost of 816000. Football uniforms are our biggest item in the athletic department, continued Coach Bourette. It costs an average of 360.00 to supply one player with football equipment- S14.50 for the helmet, 518.95 for the shoes, 310.00 for the pads and 38.95 for the pants, All this money comes from tickets, and money the boys earn? Mr. Toedman has never been too busy to lend Westport a helping hand, Coach added. --- -', P we-.F x - . --war- Page Two September 27, 1951 l l I 1-lang 0n! The Activity Wheel Begins To Turn The big wheel of Westportls many activities has again begun to rotate as another school year offers months of opportunity to the student. The wide-awake Westporter will realize that there is in this Wheel, an important place for him to fill that not only will help it to function better, but at the same time will make his stay at Westport far more fun. Take, for instance, the Tiger Den which through the years has grown and improved until now, Westport has one of the outstanding teen-towns of the city. Held approximately every two weeks of the school year, it attracts many students' because of the variety of activities such as ping-pong, dancing, movies, and chess that it offers to all who hold the season pass. Or, if you are sport conscious, one of the best ways to get in the swing is to support your team in the football and basketball games that will soon becoming up. You needn't be a cheerleader or band member to do this either, although both activities are outstanding spokes in Westport's activity wheel, your cheering at a game will add a great deal to our school spir-it. And, then, of course, no matter what your madness, you'll find a place especially for you in one of Westport's many clubs. Whether your mania is art, drama, gymnastics, Spanish, stage work, or just belonging, there is a club to suit you. With all these activities to choose from, no student should have time to feel left out, so instead of being run down by the big wheel, hang on and go along with these suggestions, it's really lots more fun. 1l..l.l National Newspaper Week--Uctober 1-8 P A newspaper is freedom in print, said Samuel Adams, member of the First Continental Congress and with this idea in mind the National Newspaper Week committee is endeavoring to let the entire news-reading world know, during the week of October 1-8, the great part which the press plays in American life. Your newspaper lights the way of freedom, has been chosen as the theme best showing the important part which the p-ress has played in our history since it was written into the Number one Amendment of our Federal Constitution. It is with a deep feeling of responsibility and pride that the Crier staff accepts the challenge of the National Newspapr Week committee in passing on to its subscribers a reminder of our great news heritage. A newspaper is many things. It is a record of history. It is a forum. It is a voice. It is a guardian. Above all, it is an institution devoted to the best interests of the community. It is a servant of the people with one goal above all others, that the public be served. Let's join together in making known our pride in this great heritage. of ours by our support of its principles so that with Thomas Jefferson we might humbly say, 'fOur liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that can- not be limited without being lost. In other words, Your Newspaper Lights the Way of Freedom. THE WESTPORT CRIER Published bi-weekly 'during the school year by the news- writing class of Westport High School, Kansas Missouri.

Juniors and seniors are also re- minded that if they plan to enter college, and especially if they are thinking of scholarships, they should consult the counselor.

Five Attend Boys' State Five hundred boys from all over Missouri met at Kemper Military Academy at Booneville, for Missouri Boys' State, held during the week of June 16-23, last summer. Those from Westport who attiended were Rex Hedding, Donald Stackhouse, Richard Bennett, Tom Walters, and Richard Ruben chosen by the American Legion posts. The theme of Boys' State was Democracy Depends on Me. and those attending put theory into prac- tice by carrying out the official duties necessary for the function-ing of the city, county, and state governments. The climax of the week was the state election which proved to be as exciting as a real battle for office. Gay arra- F1475 foie fy! l . qi.: I Q J in ab.:--1: ! ., I l 1 I l i .

The six seniors who were elected by the students last spring at the an- nual tryouts, and who have been enthusiastically working up cheers since then, are three girls: Bonnie Maier, Pat Tucker, and Naoma Guil- ford, and three boys: Duane Kelly, Bob Hunt, and Tom Walters. The alternates are: Jackie Shook, Isabel Bolch, and Karyl Unruh. The new cheerleaders will show their stuff at the traditional non- league game with Rosedale, Friday, September 21, at the Rosedale sta- dium. While the student body is counting on these top-notch cheer- leaders, it must be remembered that the success of the cheering section depends upon the enthusiasm of the students. With this in mind, the cheerleaders have asked the support of the loyal Bengal fans.

September 27, 1951 Westporters Receive Awards? Five Westport boys showed their abilities in various phases of shop work by placing in the finals of the annual Industrial Arts Awards show held in Chicago this summer under the auspices of the Ford Motor Com- pany. These boys who were given chances to win cash awards, certi- ficates of merit, and free trips to Detroit for their projects were: Allen Dyer, coffee tableg Douglas Crocker, copper fluted bowlg Jerry Harper, radio tableg Jimmie Combs, house model, and house plang Curtis J. Lush, model home. This 1-ist contains only those projects which have thus far been returned. Versatile Westporters have often proved that they excel in many fields, and again we are reminded of this fact as a senior girl wins an out- standing art award. Dorothy Hyatt has been awarded an art scholarship at the Nelson Gallery of Art, wh-ich entitles her to attend the Saturday art classes. Congratulations Dorothy! An enthusiastic Drivers Ed.

P aseo Former College Star Joins Coaching Stuff Westport's coaching staff was greatly strengthened with the ad- dition of Alva Baker, a former half- back from Missouri Valley College, who will serve as assistant coach. He also teaches common learnings in room 106. After serving three years in the navy, Coach Baker entered Missouri Valley in 1945 and as a freshman was one of the top scorers in the nation. He also used his five foot-ten inch, 180-pound frame to win three letters in track. After graduation in 1949, Mr. Bak- er returned to his former high school in Marshall, Missouri as a physical education instructor. During the sum- mer he attended Missouri University where he received his Master's De- gree in physical education. The inexperience of the football team is our major problem , com- mented Mr, Baker when asked of Westport's chances for thechampion- ship. But the boys have the ability and are working hard , he added. Mr. Baker is married and the father of a fourteen-month-old boy. Typewriters Sales-Rentals-Repairs MIDWEST 8.

Tigers Show Claws In First Sturt Westport's Tigers got off to a fly- ing start in the 1951 grid campaign with a conclusive victory over the Rosedale Wildcast on Friday even- ing, September 23. The first quarter was a dud for both teams with little accomplished by either. Westport's only scoring threat came mid-way in the period when Ben Gardner intercepted a Rosedale pass in enemy territory. Dusty Barr then carried for 23 yards, but the drive was stifled when Barr fumbled on the next play. The two teams showed no more action in the second quarter than they had in the first and at the half seem- ed evenly matched with Rosedale holding a slight advantage, since they threatened to score several times in the second period. Early in the third quarter the Ben- gals caught fire as Ben Gardner in- tercepted another Wildcat pass on the cats 23. On two plays, Dusty Barr racked up twenty-one yards and then went over left tackle to score. Bud Bunnell converted making it 7 to 0 in favor of the Tigers. By this Joe Woods ATHLETIC Goobs co.

The Wildcats started the last quarter with the game's first pass completion, but ground losses and penalties forced them to punt to Bill Abel who carried to the Tiger 32. The Bengals then lost the ball on downs, and Rosedale advanced to the 1-yard line on a 6-yard run and a pass. The goal line stand which followed was easily the outstanding feature of the game as the Tiger line held the Wildcats for five downs. Ben Gardner then punted the Tigers out of the hole to end the threat. Westport's second counter came in the final minutes of the game as Doug Sater set up the tally with a 23-yard end run, and then went f-ive yards through center to score. Bun- nell kicked the placement and the game ended with the Bengals in the lead, 14 to O.

The Bengals suffered a big loss at graduation and have only one regular returning, Buddy Bunnell, a tackle, who is starting his fourth year at that position. Along with Bunnell are four other lettermen including Don Edwards, tackleg Dusty Barr, halfbackg Bill Abel, halfbackg and Max M.oxley, quarterback. There are also three reserve lettermen Ben Gardner, full- back, who will handle the tigers kick- ing duties: Bob Martinez, halfbackg and Ed Alexander, center, who will not be available until late in the sea- son due to a shoulder separation suf- fered during pre-season workouts.

How can we get everyone to dance at Ti- ger Den? These were some of the many questions fired at the panel members at the P.-T, A. meeting, Sep- tember 25. The topic of interest, Youth in Th-is Changing Worldj' was tossed back and forth between thirteen panel members consisting of parents, teachers, and students, and the audience. Preceding the discussion a boys' chorus under the direction of Mr. Harling Spring, vocal instructor, sang three selections. The problems of youth are di- vided between home and the com- mun-ity and each has its share in the responsibility of youth said Neita Frohmuth, senior. Mrs. Katheryn Lindeman added that the home should control the amount of time spent on television programs and movies. A suggestion was made by Mr. Charles Dixon, math teacher, that Westport maintain a youth center the year around as a form of wholesome entertainment for teen-agers. The program was under the super- vision of Mr. Edwin King, speech teacher, who served as moderator.

Den Plans Include Bancls, Singers, Games Dancing to the music of Ray Carl's band in the girls' gymnasium and playing games of ping-pong and checkers in the boys' gym were some of the highlights at the opening of the Tiger Dent, Saturday evening, September 29. Approximately 800 Westporters, representing all classes, took part in the activities. This was only one of many won- derful evenings planned by the Den committee in co-operation with the Westport P.-T. A. Tomorrow night will be a lively session with Joshua Johnson and Baby Lovette as fea- tured entertainers. This team of mu- sicians will appear between 7:30 and 8:30 p. m. Mr. Jay Toevs made the arrangements for their appearance, Future plans include bands, sing- ers, and acts that will make each meeting an outstanding one. The stu- dent committee and the members of the P.-T. A. are working together to make Westport's teen town one of the best in the city. General Sends His Book To Westport Instructor Mr. M. H. Shearer, teacher of phys- iography and aeronautics, is the proud owner of an autographed copy of General Omar Bradley's book, A Soldier's Story, published last June. Mr. Shearer stated that he and the General went to high school togeth- er and used to go hunting quite often. General Bradley is an expert marksman with a rifle, said Mr. Shearer. I have thrown many a tin can in the air and watched him put a bullet hole through it, Omar Bradley's father was a country school teacher, and under his excellent tute- lage, Omar became so proficient in mathematics that when the compet- itive examination for entrance to West Point was given, he won the ap- pointment easily. At West Point he was an outstanding scholar.

The foregoing methods of attaining physical health are fine except for the length of conditioning time required. On the acquiring of mental health and tranquility a mu'ch less laborious process can be used.

A supposedly insignificant little expression fufills the requirement. It's called a smile,'.

American Royal Adds Color to Kansas City With the hands of laborers, foresight of th-inkers, strong constitutions and hearts of gold, Kansas City flood victims met a challenge presented them last July. Hats off especially to those connected with the American Royal. V A parade through the downtown section next Saturday will mark the opening of the season of the American Royal Horse and Cattle Show despite the terrible destruction wrought by the histor-ical July flood. The commence- ment of the show on schedule, in accordance with the preceding year is direct evidence of a challenge accepted and well met by every individual connected with the American Royal, whether he be a board member par- ticipant -in the show or a patron. Through Kansas Citians' generous con- tributions of aid in various forms, several thousands of people will be able to enjoy another season of the show this fall. Many Kansas Citians will say to themselves this week as they eagerly await the glory of the parade, pomp of the Coronation Ball, the first sound of hoofbeats on the turf, and the sight of some of this nation's finest horse- flesh, Here's to the American Royal and the splendid spirit it has shown!

Barbara spent two months of last summer in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway visiting rela- tives and sight-seeing. Her adven- tures began when she sailed from New York aboard the M jS Gripsholm. a Swed-ish ship with capacity for 920 people plus the Swedish crew of 350. Upon her arrival in Gothenburg, Sweden, she was besieged by all her relatives whom she dutifully kissed only to find that she had made a grave mistake. She had kissed the porter, who, unsatisfied by the ex- change, was impatiently awaiting his tip. Eating at sidewalk cafes, exploring old castles, visiting museums, and watching plays in outdoor theatres kept her well occupied, although she reports that the experiences seemed little different from doing the same thing in America, for conditions are much the sameg the main difference being the language. Asked about the ravages of War, she reported that the damage was quite obvious in Denmark, but in Norway and Sweden the main evi- dence was in a shortage of sugar, coffee, and coal. Comparing the teenagers of the two continents, Barbara says, They'- re just like we are. The fact is, that many believing that we have much in common, would like to come to this country. It seems however, that we might be put to shame if they did come, for most of the high school students there can speak at least five languages. Barbara returned with a great en- thusiasm for the countries and a far broader understand-ing of the way other people live. ASTAUR GULAIAN 8. SON RUG CO. 39l6-l8 Broadway VA. 8450 S Bus. Phone Res.

Thanks to a map of New York City, they finally suc- ceeded in reaching their destination. Mr. Harris and Mr. Shearer, with their wives, made an extended trip to the Atlantic Coast this summer. Besides spending a week in New York City and a week in Washington, D. C. they also traveled north along the coast of Maine and north to Quebec and Montreal, Canada. On their re- turn trip they came through De- troit. While in Washington, D. C., the party attended sessions of both the Senate and the House of Representa- tives. The travelers were quite im- pressed when they visited the Pent- agon building and found that in this Brewer Printing Co. ' 212 E. 39th Sr. LO. 8604 I Y-DRIVE-IN 1411 Swope Pkwy.

Mr. Shearer said that he felt like a pretty small peanut when his wife took him to visit an old flame of hers, Senator Carl Mundt of South Dakota. They called on Senator James Kem of Missouri, too. A former valedic- torian of Westport, Rebecca Gruver, works in Senator Kem's office. During their stay in New York City, their most interesting exper- ience, outside of getting lost, was the boat trip around Manhatten Island, past the Statue of Liberty, and under numerous huge bridges. Mr. Harris succeeded in taking more than one hundred color shots during the entire trip. These pictures are now in the form of 2 X 2 slides.

By JIM ERVIN C. O. E.-What is it? What does it mean? In words C. O. E. means Co-operative Occupational Educa- tion, but actually it means more than that. It is a plan by which students sixteen years of age or over, with good scholastic and personal school ratings may take part-time jobs and still carry on theirschool work. These jobs, based on the students' interests, vary in many ways. The pay in this course is figured not only in dollars and cents, but also in experience, knowledge, and school credit. Because of C, O. E. many students will be better able to choose their life work after graduation.

E. programs this year are fifty-four students whose jobs vary from office work to ma- chinist helpers. Of these fifty-four, forty-eight are first year students and six are senior students enrolled for their second year. The minimum time C. O. E. students are required to work is fifteen hours a week, but many work longer. C. O. E. gives high school students an early start in preparing for their future occupations, while providing the students with a better under- standing of the world and its ever changing problems.

Miss Eu- genia Fairchild, coach of the hockey team, reports that this is the biggest response to after-school hockey in several years. Beverly Tidball and Nancy Jo Delap will serve as man- agers of the teams. There will be stiff competition for places on the hockey team which will play other schools on hockey play day, October 27, at Northeast high school.

P aS60 Tigers lose Opener The Northeast Vikings, a favorite in the interscholastic league grid race, gave the Tigers their first defeat on Friday, September 28 at the Blues Stadium. The underdog Tigers came within a single touchdown of upset- ting the Vikes. The final score was Northeast 12-Westport 7. Immensely outweighed and appar- ently underconfident, the Bengals had little but sorrow to look back on at the end of the first half, in which the Vikes scored twice on runs by Rollie Rice and Richie Windle. The second half was a different story, however, as Westport went around and through the huge Viking line and uncorked a successful pass- ing attack. The Bengals scored their only marker in the fourth quarter on a short pass from Bob Gunter to Ben Gardner, a play which covered thirty yards and featured the best West- port blocking of the game. Buddy Bunnel1's placement was good. After another Vike punt, the Tigers regained the ball on their own twenty and marched seventy-five yards, to the Northeast 5-yard line, before an unlucky interception ruined their chances in the last minutes of the game. Starting Lineup: Couch Bourrette Begins Sixteenth Year Coaching the team, stretching the dollar to meet rising equipment costs, planning game strategy, and helping the boys with personal problems, are just a few of the activities in the busy life of a football coach. Westport's football mentor, G. V. Bourrette, seems to thrive on his schedule as he is beginning his sixteenth year at Westport and his twenty-fourth in coaching. Every afternoon until 5:30 or 6 p, m., he can be found down on the Gillham road field putting the boys through their paces or in the gym giving a chalk talk for next week's game. Saturdays, too, are spent at college games where he serves as an official. Two of the big games on this year's calendar are Utah at Kansas and K-State at Missouri. His interest in sports does not end with the football season as he ref- erees basketball games in the Big Seven and the Missouri Valley leagues. The Colorado vs. Michigan game promises to be an interesting one on his busy schedule for this year. Then, too, if the voice of the an- nouncer at the N. A. I. B. and the N. C. A, A. tournaments and other major sports events in Kansas City, sounds familiar, it is that of West- port's versatile coach. Asked about this year's team, Coach Bourrette gave this optimistic reply: The boys are in better shape at this stage of the season than any of the teams in recent years. This, along with a determined spirit, means a fighting Tiger squad. Coach G. V, Bourrette ROY C. McMAHON Commercial Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Sales and Service LO. 6377 TOEDMAN CABS, INC.

From the 70 who tried out, 19 were chosen. Director Casts Parts In the leading role of th-is three- act comedy are Shirley Bohi and Neita Frohmuth, double-cast as Miss Brooks, a lovable, but harried high school English teacher whose hilar- ious difficulties are the main-stay of the play. Miss Brooks has only two ambitions in life she confides in her best friend, Miss Finch, the librarian, played by Barbara Bigler, and those are for a vacation and husband si- multaneously, with specifications for the latter exactly fitting Hugo Long- acre, the coach, portrayed by Eugene Stokes. Troubles Multiply Miss Brooks' many troubles involve not only the principal, double-cast as Tom Lyons and Perky Bergfeldt, and the tempermental music teacher, Miss Audubon, played by Jo Ann Olson, but also several students. Her dif- ficulties really begin when the prin- cipal dumps into her lap the job of taking care of the school play in which Jane Cassady as Jane Drew, and Bob Hunt as Ted Wilder get the leads. Th-is choice greatly enrages Rhonda Allen, played by Adrienne Asher, and when Karyl Unruh as Rhonda's mother arrives on the scene, a battle royal is waged. The students who take part in this are Sandra Owens as Elsie, Bedonna Hogan as Elaine, Jane Carmichael as Sylvia, Marilyn Lindeman as Doris, Dorothy Rose as Marge, Sandra Reynolds as Faith, Tom Hopkins as Stanley, and Bob Bloomer as Martin. Makesliitt Uniforms Spur Members of Band To Actionp Ten New Uniforms are Needed Members of the Westport band have placed a circle around Novem- ber 3 on their calendar as the date they have chosen to do something about their need for ten new uni- forms priced at S56.80. This need was obvious when ten members had to wear blue jeans and band jackets which were too small in the recent American Royal parade. When the band marches with all the other high school bands in a mass parade at the Westport-Manual game, tomor- row night at Blues Stadium, the makeshift uniforms will once again be much in evidence. Plan Paper Drive For a beginning, band members with their leader, Mr. Wallace Fike, will collect waste paper and scrap metal, Saturday, November 3. With the cooperation of the student body, members are planning to make S165 or enough for three uniforms. Any Westporter who can help by con- tributing paper or scrap metal should not-ify a band member or Mr. Fike by Friday, November 2. The band owns a trailer which will be used for collections. Band Rates High The Westport band received a top rating last year when it was judged along with the other Kansas City high school bands, and the goal of these Westport musicians is to rate number one in appearance, too. Ev- ery Westport student can help them accomplish this. Elect Westport Senior To All-City Council Post Naomi Guilford, Westport senior, has been elected secretary of the All City Student Council. At the first meeting on October 8, Carl Tutorina from Manual, and Vernon Buck of Central were elected president and vice-president, respectively. Council meetings will be held the first Monday of every month. Plans are being made for the High School Day at City Hall on April 17. THAT WELL-DRESSED LOOK is an ex- pensive proposition as indicated by the prices marked on the band uniform modeled by Tom Walters, a member of the Westport band. Short ten uniforms this year, band members ask the help of all loyal Westporters. Photo by Dodson. Speech Students to Take Part in Radio Discussion Jobs in the Post Office will be the subject of discussion by West- port students on the Youth Looks Ahead rad-io program on Wednesday, October 31, at 1:30 p. m. on station KMBC. Mr. Alex F. Sachs, Postmast- er, will join Nancy Yeager, Tom Hopkins, Bill Abel, and Bernard Benson, members of Mr. Edwin King's public speaking classes. The School House series puts on this weekly program that features opportunities in vocations. An out- standing man or woman from a rep- resentative industry and three or four students from one of the Kansas City high schools form the panel. 1 l PageTWo THE WESTPORT CRIER October25.1951 SCHO0L SPIRIT-A Westport Tradition 3 e 3 The shiver that runs up and down your spine and makes you jump up and cheer your team as a touchdown is scored in your favorg that sense of loyalty that causes you to prick up your ears, throw out your chest, and let folks know where you're from, when Westport is mentioned: the thrill that makes your heart do a flip-flop and almost brings tears to your eyes, as you stand in reverence and sing the Alma Mater with your fellow class- mates, at graduation or homecoming: that certain something that makes you proud to be a Westporter is called-School Spirit. No student should feel as if he or she is excluded from sharing in this school spirit. Loyalty in supporting everything from clubs, societies, ath- letic events, instrumental and vocal musical groups to everyday class room activities and conduct in, on, and off of school property, brings everyone into this school spirit that ties all Wesporters together. Whatever happens to be your share in promoting the goodwill and tra- ditional sp-irit of Westport, be faithful in it. You need Westport and West- port needs you! World Peace is Aim of United Nations The United Nations has let us down! The United Nations should do something! The United Nations has failed! Have you heard such statements made? If so, were they justifiable, or were they false rumors? Why not learn a few facts about this great or- ganization and then decide? This is United Nations Week. Six years ago yesterday, the Charter of the United Nations went into full effect. On that day, fifty nations formed an organization with the sole aim of achieving lasting peace. They have yet to achieve that lasting peace, but they have come a long way since the close of World War II. There have, of course, been quarrels and disagree- ments, but there have also been goals that have been attained and prob- lems settled. The charter of the United Nations does more than to make declarations against war. It is the only device that is holding together international co- operation that is so necessary for a lasting peace. Without this charter this world would be in complete discord. This charter has the pledge of sixty nations who have promised full support to the organization. The preamble to the charter says, We the people of the United Nations. That means that the charter is not just a treaty made by kings and rulers, but it is made for the people of the world: you, me and all the others. Although United Nations Week ends in a few days, that does not mean that the work stops and the spirits fall. It means that all of us must get out and do our part toward making this a better world in which to live. Six years have passed since the Charter of the United Nations was signed. Our hopes have soared, our hopes have died, but if the nations of the world have a strong enough determination to fight through to the end, we shall live in a peace this world has never known.

Mr. Ben C. Marcus of Columbia Pictures ushered them in and showed them around the penthouse. The walls were painted a sea blue green, the leather chairs were a cool white ivory, a sparkling glass chandelier hung from the center of the room, and a large ivory clock ticked away the minutes above the fireplace. In the dining room was a long mahogany tableg it was in this room that President Tru- man signed the Treaty of Assistance in 1947. Then through the open door stepped Mr. Broderick Crawford. He was wearing a gray suit and his good luck hat with a hatband of pheasant feathers. This hat is in every picture with him and he has had it for elev- en years. 'Tm sorry I'm late, apol- ogized Mr. Crawford. The reporters immediately seated themselves around the large living room. Mr. Crawford stood leisurely with his hands on the back of a chair and told the reporters to fire way with their questions. This Academy Award winning actor attributes his success to luck. Paul Douglas was scheduled to play the part in All the King's Men, but he backed out because he didn't get enough money. So they called him in to play the part that won him the award. He has never regretted that he chose acting as a profession. With a note of serious earnestness in his voice he said to all those planning to enter the field of acting, Don't come to Hollywood cold, get experi- ence in your own home town, and then work your way to New York and Flash! Miss Edna Gales, 'instruc- tor of Speech, is resting in Re- search hospital following an opera- tion on Monday, October 22. She entered the hospital on Thursday for a routine check-up, and doc- tors found a condition which re- quired surgical treatment. We are all anxious to hear the outcome of Miss Gales' operation. DON'T COME TO HOLLYWOOD COLD, get some experience in your own home town, was the advice given to Jane Carmichael Cleftb and Lorraine Savella Crightj by the winner of the Academy Award, Mr. Broderick Crawford.

Sales-Rentals-Repairs When asked what his favorite pic- ture was Mr. Crawford jok-ingly re- plied, All the Kin.g s Men. He also stated that he did not realize until after they finished the picture that it was really a good one. Mr. Crawford's next picture is From Here to Eternity with Glen Ford. When asked if he liked interviews, Mr. Crawford good-naturedly re- plied he loved interviews and he also loved to get fan mail. ITS NEW ! ! !

This was the statement made by Barbara Grosse, Nancy Yea- ger, Betty Wallis, Joan Smart, Mary Ruth Walker, and Helen Alexander, the six girls from Westport who took part in the American Royal Coro- nation Ball. These Westporters were chosen, along with 50 other girls from the various Kansas City high schools, to serve as part of the court of the American Royal Queen. The girls were known as the Roy- alettes and under the able super- vision of AVonn Hamilton, choreo- grapher for the Starlight theater, the girls were taught two dances. One called, the Drum Dance and anoth- er, The Hunters. Besides learning dance steps, drum lessons were re- quired, They met some very interesting people connected with the American Royal such as Guy Madison and Andy Devine, the two guest stars from Hollywood. Theater Has New Policy From the very beginnings of civ- ilization to the present time man has faced the eternal question of good and evil. Columbia Picture Studios has once again brought up this age- less question in their new film Faust and the Devil, which the Vogue the- ater presented as a preview for teach- ers and students on the afternoon of October 16.

How- ever, her poem, Voices of Nature, which appeared in the 1918 edition of the Herald showed literary talent. ' Besides writing two other books, Each Man's World, and Song of Life, Mrs. Henze has been featured -in such magazines and papers as the Saturday Evening Post and the Wash- ington, D. C. Star. Her writings have appeared in many poerty magazines. I have always had the inspiration to write, says Mrs. Henze's reply when asked what had started her on her writing career. However, she said that Mr. Frank Glenn was responsi- ble for her writing her latest book. Writing is not a full time job with Mrs. Henze. During the day she is employed by a cement company, and at nights she sings with the Phil- harmonic chorus. Regardless of her many activities, Mrs. Henze has kept in touch with Westport throughout the years. Her daughter, Gail, grad- uated from Westport in 1940, and is now with the Internal Revenue -in Los Angeles. Trip To Azores, Germany, Holds Exciting Thrills Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be on an island with no women? Jane Cassady, a junior at Westport, had that experiencte this summer, when she visited her father at Terrcerra Island, in the Azores. Jane's father is commanding officer of the airbase there. Besides visiting for three weeks in the Azores, she also spent a week in Frankfort and Garmisch, Germany. Seeing an eighteen ton whale caught and cleaned was one of the most interesting happenings in the Azores. In Germany, however, there were more interesting experiences.

Bonnie Maier is one girl you can't miss. She may be seen at every football game, megaphone in hand, leading the school cheers. Her activities include Pep Club, Glee club and secretary of Prome- thean Lit Society. On the lighter side of life,-she enjoys the music of Stan Kenton while Because of You is tops on her hit parade. Bonnie hasn't made any definite future plans but with that dynamic personality and charming smile we can be sure that Bonnie Maier's fu- ture holds loads of happiness and good luck. Sports is his business and this star athlete has certainly proved it a good profession. This senior stands 5'10 , weighs 168 and deserves the position as quarterback. He also plays guard in basketball. Now who else could we be talking about, other than Bob Gunter! Under activities other than sports, Bob has been a class officer of his eighth grade, freshman, sophomore, and junior year and is now sergeant- at-arms of Jules Guerin. Bob claims food is his favorite dish and being a physical education teacher, his ambi- tion. ounae or is .ibeff Every year, the University of Kan- sas City awards scholarships to stu- dents in the upper rank of their graduating class. These scholarships are designed to encourage high scho- lastic attainment, and vary in amount with the financial needs of the student selected. The awards are made for one year and are intended for those students who plan to grad- uate from the univers-ity. The appli- cants must be recommended by the head of the secondary school which they attend. Five tuition scholarships which are open to all students are the Mel- vin Brown four-year, the Esther By- ers memorial, the Nelly Don, the. Alexander New, and the Lieberman memorial. A number of tuition schol- arships are open to women only, and also a few in the fields of art, music and special careers, while the Alpha Phi Omega and the Victor Wilson Trust scholarships are open to men only. The medical, pharmaceutical and dental scholarships are open to either men or women. Last year, a Victor Wilson schol- arship was given to Cecil Foley of Westport, and Shirley Clary and Ja- net Lindeman were the Westport girls reciving scholarships to Kansas City University. Shirley Krenkel had the honor of receiving a sponsored schol- arship. For more information on these and other scholarships, students should consult the counselor, Miss Ola Gal- atas. We all agree Bob has the brains and ability to really- go places and all our best wishes go with this truly typical teen. 1411 Swope Pkwy. AR. 6985 Bus. Phone Res.

Cubs lose Third Game, 8-6 Two points determined the outcome of the Cub-Bruin game. Early in the first quarter, a pass to Applequist and a lateral to Ross, gave the Cubs a six-point lead. The try for an extra point by Burns was stopped at the scrimmage line. East then tied the score in the second quarter.

The Tigers looked better than they had since the Northeast game as the line functioned well and the back- field got off some nice runs. One of these, a 30-yard sprint by Bob Mar- tinez, led to the Tigers only touch- down in the fourth quarter as Dusty Barr scored from the 1-yard line. Buddy Bunnell kicked the placement. At the end of the game the score was 14-7 -in favor of the Southeast Knights.

VA. 9452 Operated by George and Nick Carras - Bench Notes - By Bill Howard After four games of league play, the Tigers loom as something less than a giant in league circles. How- ever, although their standing is low, there has ben no consistent inferior- ity to other teams. An example of this, let us note that the Bengals narrowly missed defeating both Northeast and Southeast, two of the league's top teams ,and met Central and East on what were probably their best nights of the season. In spite of these facts, it is evident that a great deal of improvement is needed in the Bengal squad before their meeting with Southwest, the present league leaders. Several of the Tigers who have earned some praise for their play are Bud Bunnell, whose offensive and de- fensive play at tackle has been out- standing, Max Moxley, guard, and Ed Alexander, center, for shining de- fensive workg quarterback Bob Gun- ter for coolness and able field gen- eralshipg and Bill Abel, halfback, for his smashing drives into the line. A special commendation goes to Dick Reece for his specialty, those 15-yard center passes to Ben Gardner on the new and successful spread punt play. Joe Woods ' ATHLETIC GOODS co.

I Scoring in the first quarter was even with Bengal end, Frank Arnone, going 15 yards after he recovered a blocked quick kick. Hessis second tally was the only scoring action in the second period and the half ended with the Tigers showing a 6 point deficit. The third quarter saw two more Hess touchdowns and also one by Jim Moore for Westport who fell on a fumble in the Eagle end zone. Bun- nell kicked the placement for the ex- tra point. In the final quarter Bob Gunter scored on a quarterback keep play and the conversion was run by Bob Martinez. Hess climaxed a brilliant evening with his fifth touchdown and the game closed with the Bengals be- hind, 30-20.

The Westport defense seemed pow- erless in the first half against a weightless but willing Bear backfield which capitalized on a Bengal fumble in the initial period for their first marker, scored their second on a pass, and threw a Westport pass play for a loss into the Tiger end zone for a safety. In the second half, the luckless Ti- gers fared no better as Gerry Swan- son scored two touchdowns, one in each period, and ran the conversion on the second for the Bears.

PageTWo THE WESTPORT CRIE R November 8, 1951 Wanted: Insurance-Floyds of Flundon, Flingland Dear Sir: It is my impression that you are noted for issuing insurance to anyone for anything. This is pleasing news to me for I wish to subscribe to cafe- teria insurance. Perhaps you feel that this is an unusual request, but I feel that recent occurrences in the cafeteria have necessitated such an action. Our school officials have trash cans placed at strategic places through- out our school's cafeteria which are for the specific purpose of receiving such odds and ends as banana peels. Needless to say I've been under the impression that because of these cans I need not worry Where I tread. I was not worrying three weeks ago as I walked down the aisle carrying my ap- ple pie. I did not begin worrying until I had stepped upon one of the before mentioned banana peels and was in mid-air descending rather rapidly to- ward the floor of the cafeteria. I must admit that the apple pie wasn't an unbecoming sight but I felt that this was hardly the time, season, or place to be sporting a new Easter Bonnet. I shall not go so far as to say that there is no order in the lunch line waiting for food. It's just that if you're standing in the soup line you sud- denly find yourself waiting patiently for dessert. Although there is a great risk on your part, I'm certain that the fore- going statements will convince you that cafeteria insurance is of the utmost importance. Sincerely, A Cafeteria Worn Senior. Education Is Everybody's Business The thirty-first observance of American Education Week, November 11 through 17, emphasizes with its slogan Unite for Freedom the tremendous impact which our educational system has upon the success and development of our American heritage. Our country's progr-ess can be traced directly to our educational facil- ities, and upon the shoulders of our educators rests the responsibility for developing from the youth of today, the business men, militarists, and good citizens of tomorrow. Realizing that America, more than any other country, relies upon uni- versal education for its strength, this week has been set aside to refresh in the minds of loyal Americans the part that each can play in furthering ed- ucational facilities for all. By taking part in demonstrations, by working with groups interested in the education of youth and by taking advantage of all opportunities, Americans can help keep America strong through education.

The most effective way to get laughs these days is to show proofs of the senior pictures. English literature provided a laugh the other day. Miss Maddox read that a Saxon franklin scald his cook because dinner was late! Scold was the correct word, but at least it was an appropriate way to handle a cook, even in Chaucer's day. Some notable Westport students got the point last week by donat- ing a pint of blood to a worthy cause. Mak-ing a monkey out of yourself can certainly pay dividends! Just ask those who saw Marilyn Davidson at the Hallowe'en Den. How much did you say you collected, Marilyn? Contrary to the old expression, Dor- othy Hyatt did stand a Hghostl' of a chance in the judging of costumes at the Hallowe'en Den. Portraying a ghost proved very profitable, didn't it, Dorothy? The junior class had all the neces- sary ingredients that were required to have fun on the junior hayride held after the Southeast-Westport game. Some seen there were: Frances Nelson, Ronnie Kane, Hazel Case, Don Munse, Jack Cooper, Betty Wal- lis, Marcia Webb, Chad Haywood, Herby Spencer, Martha Wood, Ed Gardner, and Helen Ruf.

President Attends Westport An avid interest in farming, and a remarkable ability to get ahead, char- acterize Seth Eberhardt, a student in Miss Carrie Jackson's third hour ge- ometry class. Seth is attending Jun- ior College and comes to Westport for this one hour of mathematics. Seth, who is paying his own way through college, is glad to tell peo- ple how' he does it, for his college expenses have all come from money he obtained as a result of his active intrest in the F. F. A. Now president of the Future Farmers of Missouri, Seth first became interested in this organization during his years at the Drumm Institute. Here, all go to school half days while farming occu- pies the other half, and each works on an ind-ividual project. Six hundred pullets, a calf and seven hogs were Seth's projects. Through the F. F. A. and his work on the farm, Seth will be able to complete two years at Junior College. To Eagle Scout Rank At the Eagle Scout Court of Hon- or, held on October 21, twenty-six Westport boys attained the rank of Eagle Scout. This is one of the high- est honors given in Scouting. Westporters receiving this distinc- tion were Ronald Bayless, James Ja- coby, Robert Vegiard, Richard Wad- dell, Clifford Carlson, Donald Gates, James Maret, Barry Campbell, Rob- ert Sandquist, Walter Miller, Harley Dodson, Gerald Harper, and Ben Sparks.

Oppenheimer, who is now a Lieutenant Colonel in the Marine Corps. The story is based on the natives of different countries who are helping fight the war. Divided into four parts, the article shows the anthropological systems for classify- ing natives, British uses of native troops, Marine corps experiences in this field and ideas which would in- crease efficiency. After graduation from high school Lieutenant Colonel Oppenheimer at- tended Harvard university and was graduated in 1939. For his thesis at Harvard he obtained his material by studying, the Aymara Indians in the interior of Bolivia. In 1940 he con- ducted the archaelogical site in the vicinity of Warizeta, Bolivia, for the Peabody museum. He also found time to make the second ascent of Mount Huani Potasi with the Club Bolivian expedition.

Until recent- ly, Friday has been considered the best test day, but it has lost this dis- tinction because of the increasing number of students who work on Thursday nights. The members of the council realize that this is a prob- lem which w-ill have to be worked out individually in different rooms. Council committees have been working on many problems. For ex- ample, the school impro-vement com- mittee, under the supervision of Bob Hunt, announces that a suitable school seal will be presented for adoption soon. Marilyn Lindeman, chairman of the Welcoming committee, announced that her committee is preparing a booklet containing the layout of the building, information on clubs, school yells, and many other things West- porters should know.

Under the direction of Coach Alva Baker, the new coach who was top scorer for the mid-west in '47, the Cubs have fought hard, losing one of their games by a slim margin. So far this year some of the boys who show promise and who may spark next year's varsity squad are: Jack Little, sophomore quarterbackg Bill Ross, who didn't make the first team because of lack of experienceg Chuck Meyers, outstanding line many and Ronnie Ostland, who has been the spark on defense.

From the start, it was obvious that the Cardinals were no match for the sharp Bengal offense which started rolling immediately in the first quar- ter on a 75-yard march that sent Dusty Barr to pay dirt from the 4- yard line. The first of Bud Bunnell's four placements of the evening was good. The Tigers scored their second tal- ly in the th-ird period when Barr ran 26 yards from the midfield stripe, then lateraled to Frank Arnone who s Elect Class Officers CContinued from Page 15 Christine Ruf, secretary: Ed Fisher, treasurerg and Lillian Bowser, ser- geant-at-arms. LeRoy Perry, Bob Medberg, Joan Marcus, and Lucille caried it for 24 more and a touch- down. In the fourth quarter, the action came fast as the Bengals scored three times, the first on a 30-yard pass play from Ben Gardner to Bob Gun- ter. After three Red Bird plays, Ben Gardner recovered a fumble and went 40 yards for the fourth marker. On the conversion, Bunnell faked the kick and passed to Arnone. The final score came late in the quarter as Herb Spencer flipped a 10-yard pass to Ed Gardner making the final score 35-0, Lineup : LE-Arnone RE-Adkins LT-Bunnell QB-Gunter LG-Moxley LH-Abel C-Alexander RH-Barr RG-Moore FB-Ben Gardner RT-Peterson For Fifth loss 33-7 Against a heavily favored crew of Southwest Indians, the Westport Ti- gers were defeated for the fifth time on the Indian field on Thursday, No- vember l at 3 p. m. Although beaten 33-7, the Tigers put up a good stand in the face of what will probably be the champion- ship attack of the season. The Ben- gals had an unlucky first half, as a fumble and an intereception cut off two promising drives, and potent tribe blocking led the way to four Indian touchdowns. At the half, Westport's gridders trailed, 27-0. The Bengal game seemed to im- prove with age, and in the second half they held the Indians to six points and scored seven themselves. The Bengal tally came in the fourth quarter as Bob Martinez, halfback, scored on a spectacular 28 yard run. Bud Bunnell converted the extra point to make the final score 33-7.

Taft, attend-ing a Republican meeting at the Muehle- bach hotel Friday, November 9, an- swered this query by saying, By un- derstanding the problems and intelli- gently facing the issues confronting the world, teenagers can prepare themselves for active citizenship. Through participation in intelligent discussions on current problems, stu- dents will become aware of the needs and a better system will evolve. When asked if he were an 'isola- tionist, he replied, No one can be an isolationist these days. Senator Taft smilingly added that some per- sons undoubtedly had arrived at this conclusion from the way he voted on some of the bills in Congress. He cited as an example, that if he had a choice between two sums of money on specific bills he usually chose the smaller which meant a nice saving to the taxpayer. When asked his views on changing the voting age to eighteen, he ad- mitted he didn't believe it was prac- tical. Much experience can be gained MR, REPUBLICAN ANSWERS as Nancy Yeager quizzes. Mr. James A. Young executive secretary of the Jackson County Republican Commit- tee, looks on. during the three-year period. Westport reporters were impressed with Mr. Taft's fearless, self-confi- dent and uncompromising attitude and, at the same time, with the friendly, human side of his character. ol Our Miss Brooks Can you imagine Bob Hunt going steady with two girls? Can you pic- ture Marilyn Lindeman as a Tibetan serving girl and Karyl Unruh as a disagreeable member of a school board? Do you think Tom Lyons or Perky Bergfeldt would make a good principal of a high school, and can you visualize Eugene Stokes calling the basketball plays from the bench? All these and many others will come to life in the fall play production, Our Miss Brooks , which is sched- uled for the boards, November 30 and December 1. The plot revolves around poor M-iss Brooks who tussles with school and personal problems. Everyone wants Miss Brooks in on everything, and this complicates matters. The solv- ing of the problems and the humor- ous situations make it a hilarious two- hour production. It is under the di- rection of Mr. Edwin King. See Our Miss Brooks for a real- ly entertaining evening. The tickets will be fifty cents, and all seats must be reserved. Neita Frohmuth and Tom Lyons will play the leads on Fri- day evening and Shirley Bohi and Perky Bergfeldt on Saturday.

Page Two THE WESTPORT CRIER November21, 1951 Activity Points Pro and Con FOR But he holds all the offices! The Westport activity point system stems from this critcism. Those who sup- port the system believe that the school honors should be passed around. Under this system, pupils may car- ry eleven activity points and no more. They may be nominated and elected to anyinumber of offices, but after they have eleven points, they must decline or forfeit additional offices. This is the democratic way. Many pupils have an opportunity to hold offices, and they develop leadership qualities so necessary in our modern world. The point system -is HERE TO STAY! It's THE WESTPORT WAY! AGAINST Under the activity point system, the ambitious, superior student is re- stricted as to the number of offices he may hold. Ability to handle these duties -is considered a negligible fac- tor. The system is an example of de- mocracy in action, is the viewpoint of its supporters. Those who oppose the system feel that a democratic na- tion is a free nation. A democratic school allows its pupils to progress to the extent of their individual abil- ities, If we curb the progress of hard- working, well-liked, and deserving pu- pils, then what becomes of our dem- ocratic institutions? The leaders of our school today are the leaders of our world tomor- row. Many do not wish to be leaders, others cannot be.

On the horizon they could see the skyline of Kansas City silhouetted against the sky. This scene was repeated until all Westport eighth graders had v-isited the plane- tarium at the Kansas City Museum. Mr. A. E. Neal gave an interesting lecture, and at the same time point- ed, with a tiny pin point of light, to the stars, constellations, and planets of the solar system. When the lights went on, overhead was seen a concave shell of white cloth, stretched over a framework of ribs, that looked like the underside of a large beach umbrella. In the center of the room was a machine, which projected the images on a gigantic screen. Each pupil was given a book- let on the solar system. we? .......

If you do, your success is assured. This was the advice given by Harry Black- stone, world's master magician, to four enthralled Westporters, Nancy Yeager, Charlie Scott, Phil McCollom and Bob Derge in a backstage inter- view at the Missouri theater, Novem- ber 9. This personable prestidigitator re- called that as a young lad, he was inspired by Harry Kellar, another great magician. By hard work, con- stant study and his will to succeed, this talented performer was able to develop illusions that delight both young and old. Mr. Blackstone proved to be an adept performer at close-up Wizardry as he asked Nancy Yeager to choose a card from a pack. When he pulled the wrong card and asked if it were hers, Nancy was too embarrassed to say anything, but when the wrong card mysteriously changed to the cor- rect card right before her eyes, she was too amazed to utter a sound. Since all of Blackstone's attempts to contact Harry Houdini, another great magician who died twenty-five years ago, have failed, he does not believe in ghosts and spiritualistic phenomena. For Sale :An Ophicleide As I was walking to school one bright and sunny day, I met a strange little man who was carrying a great big wooden box. He asked me if I would like a buy an ophicleide. Being of an inquisitive nature and having some extra cash, I bought the box with the ophicleide in it. When I got to school I found that I had lost the key, and dying of cur-iosity, I decided to ask the kids if they knew the mean- ing of ophicleide. Mickey Witt claimed that it was a new kind of cereal shot from cap pistols, while Doug Sater was pos- itive it was a two-headed cat with three tails, because he has one at home for a pet. Joy Talley guessed that it might be a new kind of lip- stick. Eugene Stokes explained that rug, but Barbara Stacy thought that it was a person who lived on octopus meat. Kenny M-illin merely stated that it sounded like a girl's name, and Carolyn Youker said that she was going to buy her sister one for Christmas. Dean Linkenfelter opened his trusty little dictionary and guessed that it was Whistler's mother's maiden name. Jerry Motes refused to answer on the grounds that it might tend to incrim- inate him. Gary Gardner stated that it was part of a street car, while Mopsy Hall seemed to believe it was a new food in the cafeteria. Eugene Vandergrift explained that it was a bug with green eyes, curly hair and whiskers, but Jolene Hammons claimed it was a new secret weapon. ingly agreed that it was a senior with brains. After hearing all of the answers during the day, I was dying to know what an ophicleide really was. So after school Mr. Bougher broke the lock on the box, and right before my eyes, I discovered an old-fashioned bugle. Just what to do with this bugle is a mystery. Since my mother won't let me take music lessons, I shall be willing to sell it cheap. Anyone in- terested please see me, an ophicleide owner, before or after school. Y-DRIVE-IN 1411 Swope Pkwy.

A. U. W. who attended the meeting at the Southwest high school, October 30. Giving advice on selecting one's col- lege and preparing oneself for a good college background were the main topics discussed. Any girl possess- ing native ability and the desire to go to college, in this day and age, may do so, said Miss Chase, for there are hundreds of fine scholar- ships obtainable by the people pos- sessing these two qualities. The size, location and campus of each member of the Seven College Conference, Wellesley, Radcliffe, Vas- sar, Smith, Byrn Mawr, Mt. Holyoke, and Barnard were briefly described. The fact that these institutions ex- pect as fine work from women as the leading men's schools such as Har- vard and Yale expect from their stu- dents was brought to their attention. Miss Chase graciously answered questions which were troubling many students. Misapprehension about college entrance requirements, college board examinations, transfer stu- dents, and scholarships were dis-- cussed. Those who went to the meeting with Miss Ola Galatos, Westport counselor, were: Karyl Unruh, Neita Frohmuth, Jo Ellen Westring, Loretta Gulaian, seniorsg Beverly Goodbrake, Adrianne Asher, Dora Skinner, Mar- 1 - For Smart Styles S.

These are some of the questions asked at the hockey play day held Saturday, November 3, at Northeast high school. Even though the day was cold, the girls played the games with energy and enthusiasm. Westport triumphed over Paseo with a score of 2-1. The girls tied with Central 1-1 and lost to North- east 2-1. Eight Westport girls were also selected along with eight girls from Northeast to play as a Manual proxy team. Following play day games, the girls were seen on T. V. on the Heart of America Newereel, in the films made that Saturday. Work For United Funds The eighth grade students in room 305 entered into this year's United Funds Campaign with genuine en- thusiasm. The room divided into two teams. One team, the Gold Diggers, was capta-ined by Joan Frazier. Ran- dy Conklin was treasurer. The other team, the Johnny Rebs, was cap- tained by Russell Kunz with Ed Smith as treasurer. Each team had 14 mem- bers, and set a quota of 3515. While the campaign was going on, members of both teams gave pep talks and put on original skits about the United Funds. At the conclusion of the campaign the Gold Diggerst' reached their quota of 9515.

The Cubs were held scoreless by a fighting defense that may prove to be a spark for Paseo's varsity squad next year. Playing host to Manual on the Gill- ham field, the Cubs fought to a 0-0 tie. Both teams seemed evenly matched with maybe a slight edge for the Westport squad. The Southwest second team proved to be the masters as they downed the Cubs 24-0. Southwest scored in every quarter and held the cubs score- less. The Westport Cubs played a very full season, winning no games, but gaining much experience.

Tigers Close Season Westport's Tigers have closed the 1951 football season with a two won, six lost record to look back upon. Although this record looks unim- pressive, if weight and comparative experience are cons-idered it is not a bad one. It must be remembered that the Bengals started the year with only seven lettermen, and with just one regular. Also, the starting line averaged a little over 167 pounds which is practically featherweight compared to the 200 pound line av- erage at Northeast. Due to the lack of experience, the Tigers' play has naturally been incon- s-istent, so while decisively defeated by East and Paseo, two other second division clubs, they defeated Manual by more points than any other school save Southwest and narrowly missed defeating Northeast and Southeast, currently ranked second and third by scores of 12-7 and 14-7 respectively. All in all, the '51 Tigers were a young, light team whose spirit and will to win could not make up for lack of size and experience, and it remains for the student body to look to the team of next year which will lose only nine members by graduation to carry Westport back to the top of the league.

Although some brilliant flashes on the part of the Bengals kept the fans' hopes alive until late in the contest, they showed a tendency to bog down in enemy territory, and this coupled with some opportune breaks for the Pirates spelled the difference. The Tigers were handicapped in the first half by the absence of Ed Alex- ander, center, who started but was unable to remain because of a painful leg injury, Also, halfback, Bill Abel was injured early in the first quarter and his usual line smashes were sore- ly m-issed through the rest of the game. In the second half after some other injuries, the Bengals work was car- ried on largely by reserves and it was then, in the fourth quarter, that Bob Leet, fullback, scored the only Tiger tally, going over left tackle and sprinting twenty-three yards for the score. Buddy Bunnell kicked the placement with his usual accuracy and the year's grid campaign ended with the Westport Tigers on the short end of a 41-7 score.

There are two approaches in talk- ing safety to people-tell them or scare them, asserted Mr. Fox, edi- torial writer for the KANSAS CITY STAR. He pointed out that one out of every ten registered automobiles has been involved in an accident this year, and there have been 10,550 traffic accidents, an all-time record. Several suggestions were made for safety campaigns in the high schools. A youth court, a list of violators Csim- ilar to the one published in the KAN- SAS CITY STARD , or a column -in the school papers giving opinions of stu- dents on safety, were cited as good examples.

Remember the date? December 7, 1941. Remember the place? Pearl Harbor! It was early that Sunday morning when the carrier-based Japanese planes, with their Rising Sun insignia, streaked over the Paradise of the Pacific and spat death and destruction at the Naval Air Station at Kaneohe Bay and then Went on to nearby Hickam and Wheeler fields. Pearl Harbor has affected the lives of each of us, for today, almost ten years later, our country is still involved in its struggle for the preservation of our American way of life and our blood-Won principles of democracy. We Weren't exactly prepared in 1941 and We vveren't exactly prepared in June of 1950, but the ever-present American spirit to combat those who would deprive us and other freedom loving nations of their heritage, Will, in the end, win out. To the Pearl Harbor dead, who rest in Oahu's cemeteries, let us pause briefly tomorrow and pledge, They shall not have died in vain. How To Win Friends -19 1 Version Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Boys: Tommy Dun- can, Craig Black, Paul Osnower, Joe Balliet, Jerry Honn, Marlin Harmony, Ed Gardner, Tom Hollcroft, Bernard Benson and Jimmy Hand. Such a poll would not be complete without some summarizing on the faults. Get your pencils and paper ready, here We go. The Worst faults that the boys think the girls possess are: They talk too much and giggle all the time. They spend half of their time standing in front of the mirror fixing their face and combing their hair. They are fickle and cannot make up their minds. They are never ready for a date, and keep the boy waiting. On the other hand, the girls think that the boys are continually talking about themselves. They are unpredictable and are always thinking of some- thing to eat. The age of chivalry is dead. Boys never open the doors for girls, and the three little words, ladies before gentlemen, seem to have been forgotten. ,mmmm q THE WESTPORT CRIER '.

At a recent meeting held for the members of the high school press, it was suggested that all high schools might adopt the Youth Court idea for trying student drivers. QUESTION: Do you think such a plan should be adopted at Westport? Tom Dixon, sub-freshman: I think that this f idea is a good one. It would certainly emphasize the seri- ousness of the of- fense. This Youth Court might start good driving habits and even save a life. Joyce Scott, freshman: Definitely NO !

Mr. Spring's seventh hour music class has a far greater appreciation for orchestral talent since the day, not so long ago, when he showed vari- ous -instruments in class.

DeCemb01'6, 1951 THE WESTPORT CRIER Page Five ylaica lend PAT TUCKER AND BERNARD BENSON A modesty which becomes them, and a friendly smile are only two of the amiable qualities of Pat Tucker and Bernard Benson. Pat made her debut in this world on March 31, at the Tucker's ranch located near Pavillion, Wyoming. Pat later moved to Kansas City, and at- tended the Swinney grade school. In 1947 she entered Westport as an eighth grader. Since that time she has won many honors. She is presi- dent of Pep Club, a cheerleader, a member of the Student Council, Stage and Screen, and Promethean. Pat has a long list of friends at Westport. This can be attributed to Athletic Equipment owls GCIMPBELL BTIIL-FTIC GOODS J 1509-'l'l-'I3 Baltimore Ave. her charming personality, good taste and natural beauty. This brown-haired, brown-eyed teen-ager lists shrimp at the top of her favorite food and as her favorite pastimes, dancing and listening to music by the King Cole Trio, espec- ially the current hit song, Mona Lisa. A boy who always has a friendly hello for his fellow classmates typ- ifies Bernard Benson, a talented teen. Bernard is too modest to admit that he is one of the most active boys in the senior class. His present rec- ord proves this however, for Bernard is sergeant-at-arms of the senior class, vice-president of Clay literary society, treasurer of the W club, a member of the Honor society, of Speech Arts, and of the varsity bas- ketball squad. When asked what his favorite food is, Bernard's reply is, I like all of it. Extemporaneous Boogie by Ca- mille Howard heads his record list, while his favorite entertainer -is Frankie Carle at the piano. Playing the piano and sports are Bernard's hobbies. Pat and Bernard would be a wel- come addition to any school, and that's why we are proud to claim them as two of Westport's Typical Teens.

The final score was 37-29. In the first quarter the Tiger cag- ers couldn't seem to cope with the Rocket zone as their shooting was ice cold and the Bengals tra-iled at the quarter 10-9. The second quarter saw little scoring until late in the period when Bob Gunter scored two quick lay-ups and left Redemptorist with a six-point deficit at the half. The half began with a flurry of point-making in which Redemptorist pulled within a point of the Bengals. But Westport staved off the rally, pulled into an eight-point lead and stalled out the last 25 minutes. Frank Arnone and Bernard Ben- son paced the Bengals with 12 and 11 points respectively, while Bob Gunter played good defensive ball throughout the game.

Basketball Prospects Are Good This Season As the footballs, pads and head- gears are put into storage and mem- ories of the grid season grows dim, it comes time to consider Westport's chances in the coming cage season as they start their defense of the In- terscholastic league basketball title. The Bengals lost rather heavily through graduation, but not out of proportion with other schools with the possible exception of Southwest.

Other let- termen are Bob Gunter, Ben Gard- ner and Russell Roberts.

In fact, you don't even have to know how to cook, as long as you have the following ingredients: cheer, joy, happiness, love, prayer, spirit of giv- ing, hope, faith, best wishes. First mix thoroughly a little good cheer and a large amount of joy. Nextsprinkle generously with happiness. Then, use one of the most im- portant ingredients, love. Love for our neighbors, no matter what race, religion, family, friends, and for the baby Jesus born on Christmas day. Flavor with best wishes for the coming year. Next blend in a generous amount of prayer for peace on earth and good will to men, and a prayer for the boys fighting to keep America free. Then stir in an ample amount of the spirit of giving. By giv-ing, we refer not to the material things wrapped in tissue paper and tied with a bow, but the spiritual gifts such as the giving of kindness, thoughtfulness, and af- fectrion. Lastly, pour in some hope and faith for a brighter future in the years to come, and for the peace that will some day be ours. When all nations join in one united nation with no race or religious barriers, when all hands join in a handshake of friendship, then we shall have reached our goal. If we mix all these ingredients and then serve, we shall truly have a very, very merry Christmas. Don't Let Death Take Your Holiday The month of holiday festivities has come once again, but a grim creature has come with it this year. This avaricious monster is none other than the spirit of the one-millionth traffic death which is destined to make its appearance in the midst of that delightful seven-day period when we try to push from our minds all care and worries and to concentrate on the fun and the religious significance of the season. Although it is imposs-ible to avert the appearance of this tragedy, we can all cooperate in an effort to bring about reduced traffic fatalities in 1952. This can best be done by accepting our responsibilities not only as drivers, but as pedestrians as well. If necessary, we should double and triple our caution, espec-ially in bad weather. In these days of excessive auto carelessness, it is easy for the driver ignorant of traffic regulations to cause misfortune both by death and ex- pense to the family of a traffic victim. Don't let death take your holiday! qmmmmm THE WESTPORT CRIER ' ' Published bi-weekly during the school year by the newswriting class of Qull-L, . Wesptort High School, Kansas City, Mo.

The stockings were hung right under the clock, With the hopes that they would be filled up to the top. Then with a twinkle in his eye Santa read the list, That the kids had prepared, it went something like this. Dear Santa: Please bring Joe Balliet a year's supply of dubble bubble gum, and Hogan Gibbs a subscription to Jack and Jill comic books. Please bring Westport some elevators, cause some of the seniors are weary from climb- ing stairs for 5 years straight. Mike Boerner doesn't want very much, just a mag-ic wand or a magic lamp. Rob- ert Schley wants an E in chemistry. CDon't we alll? Barbara Powers wants a certain sailor to come home for Christmas. Margaret Hill would like a good looking boy in a Cadillac con- vertible, she's not particular as to what he looks like as long as he has the Cadillac. Isabel Bolch wants a television set, any size screen, as long as its over 26 inches. Please bring Max Moxley about 4 more inches of him to help in those basketball games. In this coming year please bring the kids less homework and higher grades. Well Santa this ends our list, be see- ing you next year. THE KIDS AT WESTPORT. Santa quickly filled the stock- ings from top to toe. And glancing at the clock, he said, It's time, I must go. So he dashed out the front door, to his team gave a whistle, And took off down 39th street like the down of a thistleg But I heard him say when he sped out of sight. Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night. lllllerrp iii Renowned Actress Gives Advice Get a liberal education and as much acting experience as possible for a stage career, was the advice given by Miss Katherine Cornell to high school interviewers recently at the Orpheum theater. Miss Cornell confessed that since her childhood days in Buffalo, New York, she had always had the life- long ambition to become an outstand- ing actress. During her high school days, she frequently participated in drama productions receiving many hours of happiness. I love them all, was Miss Cor- ne1l's reply when questioned about her favorite role. She is fond of trav- eling and enjoys performing in all cities. She has played in 72 cities in one year. Although the scope of the legiti- mate theater is smaller, Miss Cornell believes that it is stronger today than it has been in past years. It is her belief that radio, movies, or television will never affect the appeal of the stage productions. She has appeared in only one motion picture, Stage Door Canteen. To the astounded ears of the re- porters, this outstanding performer This is really the PRESS! stated Kath- erine Cornell as Janet Stower snapped this picture with the Speed Graphic. CLeft to right! Loretta Gulaian, Jody Olson, Miss Cornell. and Helen Ferguson. explained that she still experiences stage fright. There is no remedyg however, experience helps control it, she smilingly pointed out. Losing a petticoat, climbing through a window when a door failed to open, and losing a dog to the audience were a few of the numerous embarrass-ing occasions when Miss Cornell was forced to ad lib. You cannot hope to find a job in New York without experience, were the parting words of the charming and talented star. fContinued from Page Onel stage set designer, has worked with such stars as Helen Hayes, Katherine Cornell and Maurice Evans. Rosella Hightower is a world-famed ballerina and Thomas Hayward of the Metro- politan and Glen Darwin of the stage and radio are noted singers. Every- one knows Martha Scott, actress of stage, screen, radio and television fame. In the business world Westport is proud of Edna Marie Dunn, success- ful business woman and fashion de- signer. Yervant Yegishian is an ex- pert in the field of oriental rugs. Civic leaders include Jerome Joffee, Milton W. McCvreevey, Frances Wor- nall and Kearney Wornall. The list of reporters, writers, for- eign correspondents, and news an- nouncers is long. Richard Harkness, Walt Bodine, Tilton Gorrell, Delmar King, Landon Laird and Henry C. students. Edgar Snow, author of Red Star Over China, gave his name to Westport's chapter of Quill and Scroll. Julia Coburn is on the staff of Wom- en's Home Companion. The editor of the American magazine is a West- porter, Sumner Blossom. Wesley Stout, now retired, was on the staff of the Saturday Evening Post. The parochial schools of San Fran- cisco have another graduate as their assistant superintendent, Father John Scanlon. In the sports field, Lynn Waldorf is the coach of the California Bears, and his brother, John, is a Big Seven official and the newly elected com- missioner of the M. I. A. A. He is also mayor of Marshall, Missouri. Especially at this time of year, Westporter's thoughts are directed to- ward those who have gone before. Successes such as these serve as an inspiration for others to bring glory Ha 11 are mir?-ff 'liar ofg ost to the school above all others. og f . - O D ' i H .

The hungry look on the faces of Pat Tucker, Phyllis Rogers, Bonnie Maier, Connie Tatum, Shirley Marcus and Jodie Olson and their loss of weight just couldn't be due to the fact that Christmas is coming and money merry is a problem. Things are tough all over, kids! At last College Day, Pat Delap was heard to say, I'm looking for a bar- gain. Do you suppose any of the prices have changed? About this time of year, Christ- mas, such characteristic quotes may be heard throughout the halls: All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, Phil McCollom. Why was I born beautiful instead of rich? Jim Hand. You're all I Want for Christmas, Cto pass the ACE testi, Juniors. Dear Sandra Schulz: We apologize for the mistake we made in the last Crier. CSandra was awarded S15 for her original skirt design instead of Sl, as printed? Buddy Bunnell to the representa- tive of Northwestern university: I eat like a horse but I can't gain a pound.

Page Six HE WESTPORT CRIE R December 21, 1951 glaica .Zend I Frank Arnone and Beverly Mason Jolly ole St. Nick only makes his appearance in the homes of fellas and girls that truly deserve h-is generosity. This issue's two typical teens can rest assured that their stockings will be filled to the brim this Christmas day. Beverly Mason, with her sparkling eyes and winsome smile is a petite package. She claims eating fried chicken and watching Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis as being her favorite pastimes. She also expressed the fas- cination which basketball games held for her. For such a tiny bundle of vitality, Beverly keeps quite busy with school activities. Vice-president of Pundit, secretary of glee club, treasurer of Pep club and a member of the Honor Society and a cappella choir require a large portion of her time. A few of her past offices include treasurer of student council, and an officer of her freshman and sophomore classes. Beverly is considering Kansas City university as her possible college choice. Following college she hopes to accomplish her ambition, to travel around the world. When asked what she would like for Christmas her reply was simply, Oh, I'd wish my brother Richard could be .home for Christmas. A basketball All-Star for two years is one of the many great achievements of Frank Arnone, truly a boy of ac- complishment and high character. Frank has ben noted in his years at Westport by his friendly manner and EIT? ,..g groin Me Counaefm-'4 .meal The Westport sophomores and jun- iors who took the Cooperative Read- ing Comprehension test and the A. C. E. test of general ability, have a right to feel that they did very well as a school. In the Cooperative Reading Com- prehension test, the sophomores as a class, scored higher than the Kansas City median, which is 44.4. The per- centile rank is very near 6997. In the A. C. E. test the scores indicated the individual mental alertness. They in- dicated whether or not the individual is likely to succeed in college or in the world of Work. Students should take note of their scores. A person may rank very high on this test and yet not make good. Everyone has room for improvement. A test is good only if you use the re- sults wisely in self-improvement. leadership qualities. Among his other achivements are vice-president of the W club, sergeant-at-arms of Clay, a member of the senior business com- mittee and the Honor Society. Frank lists ping-pong and playing with his baby elephant Ca rather large collie dog? while listening to Mario Lanza records as being a very worthwhile way to spend his time. His mother's spaghetti and meat- balls rank as a first in the line of food. Following graduation Frank hopes to enter Kansas State to major in law or journalism.

After a film showing Red Cross ac- tivities during the recent flood, plans were announced concerning the dis- tribution of the Christmas gift stock- ings for veterans at Excelsior Springs and Wadsworth hospitals. On Monday, December 17, Loretta Gulaian, John Holland, and Herbert Spencer, Westporters, went to Wads- worth hospital to distribute Kansas City's 1250 gift stockings. Miss Brubaker, sponsor, invited home rooms to see the thirty-six Christmas stockings in room 205 be- fore sending them to headquarters. Gully Decorated Halls Radiote Holiday Spirit Deck the halls with boughs of hol- ly,'i typified the busy committee members in charge of decorating the halls for Christmas. Saundra Owens, chairman of the council committee, Miss Ruth Beck and Miss Eva Bechtel have worked to make this year's dec- orations the prettiest ever. The big red and white candy canes tied with bright red bows are the cen- ter of attraction, while the boughs of evergreen over the doors add to the festive color. The deer pattern bordered by two White trees is a dif- ferent and lovely Christmas design. Westport Sub-freshman Has Her Poem Published Not many pupils, age 11, have an opportunity to see their poetry in print. Virginia Potter, sub-freshman, has experienced this thrill. Her po- em, Little Lizard, written in the sixth grade, was printed in the book published by the Kansas City Athen- aeum. This book entitled Youth Creates will be entered in a 310,000 contest. This is her poem: LITTLE LIZARD Little lizard, all alone Lay upon a sunny stone! Very still, I saw him lie, Watching with a stony eye! If I'd make a step or crash, He'd be hidden like a flash! Then he'd leave me here alone, Little spirit of the stone. GIBSON'S 5 E. 39th St. JE. 741 l G. I.

The Tiger Cubs traveled to Mary- ville, Friday, December 7, to take a 39-35 decision over the Spoofhounds.

The game was close all the way with the Bengals emerging from the scuffle holding a 38-37 lead. Action -in the first half was fast but yielded little scoring as the Ti- gers built up a three point advantage and left the floor with the score 23- 20. .

The Bengals, although suffering from occasional cold spells, were appar- ently far superior to the Washington crew throughout the first half, but the loss of Ben Peterson and Bob Gunter on fouls in the second half which cut the effectiveness of the Tiger defense and a red hot Wash- ington surge conspired to down the Bengals 36-38. Westport scoring honors went to Frank Arnone who netted 11 with Don Ross and Bernard Benson col- lecting 10 and 8 respectively. - Bench Notes - By Bill Howard Wit a 2-3 record after five starts against varied opposition, Westport's cage crew has good prospects for a successful season. However, there are several problems to be solved. The most important appears to be the finding of a reliable starter at the post or center position to go with the foursome of Arnone, Benson, Gunter and Ross. With only two games to be played before the league opener aga-inst a strong Southwest team, the right combination has to be found, and soon. After five games, the leading Ben- gal scorer is Frank Arnone with 62 points, followed by Don Ross with 60, and Bernard Benson with 39. One of Westport's distinguished athletic alumni, Jack Carby, who led the Tigers in '47 and '48 to an Inter- scholastic League title and scored 103 points to lead the league, is now the first string center at Kansas State college and is currently the leading Wildcat scorer. As Ross Hits 25 Although sparked by a 25-point performance by Don Ross, Westport's cagers were handed a 53-44 setback on the De LaSalle court on Friday, December 14. The Tigers appeared su- perior to the Cadets early in the con- test and left the floor at halftime with a 21-19 advantage. In the sec- ond half, however, they began to miss the steady play of Bernard Benson, All-Star guard, who was sidelined be- cause of a foot injury, and this, cou- pled with an ice cold streak in the fourth quarter cost the Tigers the Strong lillis Crew Win Over Bengals The fighting Irish of Lillis gave Westport its first cage defeat of the season on Saturday, December 8, by a score of 66-40. A better showing than the score would indicate, was given by the Bengals, who led at the end of the first quarter. The Lillis team, which returned from last year in practically full force, proved to have more experience, and ran away from the Tigers in the later minutes of the game. Scoring for the evening was paced by Dick Thompson of Lillis who had 28 points. For Westport, the high man was Frank Arnone with 14, fol- lowed by Don Ross and Bernard Ben- son with 10 each. e Westport-40 Lillis-57 G. FT G. FT.

Thoughtful Kansas Citians are endeavoring to formulate safety plans to eliminate useless deaths in 1952. Westport high school, along with the other schools in the city, has an important part to play in these plans. Westporters must learn what to do, how to do it and most important of all, they must develop the desire to make a safer city and world. The Driver Education course, un- der the direction of Mr. Claude Bak- er, is one of the answers to this prob- lem. Studies indicate that drivers' training reduced accidents one-half, due to the fact that classroom train- ing and supervised road practice pro- vided the student with the opportun- ity for putting theory into practice. The student learns laws, develops cor- rect attitudes, and studies the mech- anism of the car -in the classroom. In the behind-the-wheel phase of the course, he learns to drive and becomes aware of his responsib-ility to develop good driving habits. ' Tom Hopkins, Westport's entry in last year's driver training contest sponsored by the Missouri State High- way Patrol, won first place in the city contest in competition with sev- enteen boys from other schools. The facilities of the Driver Educa- tion course and the school are avail- able to the Kansas City Safety Coun- cil, and the Mayor's Safety Commit- tee, so that Westporters may do their share in making Kansas City a safe city. Examination Schedule As the end of the semester ap- proaches, the following schedule has been decided upon for final examina- tion dates: Friday, January 18-Science and Mathematics. Monday, January 21-Social Sci- ence and Commerce . Tuesday, January 22-Language arts. Wednesday, January 23-Make-up -no school in afternoon. Thursday, January 24-No classes. Half credit subjects and eighth grade class examination dates will be decided upon by the individual teach- ers. School will resume on Friday at the regular time with the beginning of the second semester.

Choose Cops and Gowns When the strains of Pomp and Circumstancen swell through the Municipal Auditorium this June, the Westport senior class of 1952 will walk proudly into the arena in caps and gowns. The results of the vote taken re- cently to determine whether caps and gowns were preferred over for-. mals and suits proved that our pres- ent senior class was impressed by the 1951 commencement exercises -in which caps and gowns were worn. The color of the gowns will be de- cided upon at a later date. Because of the confusion of chang- ing from robes to formals after the exercises, the prom will be held on a different night this year. I l Miss Edna Gales, Friend and Teacher A teacher affects eternityg he can never tell where his influence stops. This thought from The Education of Henry Adams is the greatest tribute that could be paid Miss Edna Gales, for her influence has been far reaching. She has left us w-ith a precious inheritance-a better understanding of life, self-confidence and a knowledge of gracious living. Westport students and teachers will remember Miss Gales for the un- faltering way in which she carried out her work. In addition to her cllass- room duties, she served on school committees, sponsored the Speech Arts club and presented an all-school play each year. Nevertheless, she was never too busy to listen to individual problems of students and to give words of encouragement. Her love of life and sense of humor endeared her to her friends. Miss Gales' scholastic record was an enviable one. She attended the Kansas City university, the Dillenbeck School of Expression, and the Ameri- can Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. She did some professional the- ater work, but devoted most of her life to the teaching profession. To know her was to love her, and sorrow is overcome by the knowledge that for a period of time, all too brief, she was one of us. Names Are News I never get my name in the Crier. This statement is often made by Westporters. You don't have to jump off the school building, or stand on your head in the front hall to accomplish this feat. Statistics proved that 1,329 names have been printed in the past seven is- sues of the Crier. There are many headings under which these have ap- peared. Included in the list are Honor Society, Student Council, home room activities, They Say , athletic teams and games, class officers, club offi- cers, Under the Clock, new members of clubs, individual accomplishments, and many others. There is a suggestion box outside the door of room 119. If you have any news or suggestions, please pass them along to-the staff members. With all Westporters acting as legmen, all school activities can be covered. So- you see the staff members are not conspiring to keep your name out of the paper, they are waiting for a good reason to print your name in big letters.

JaI1U31'y17.1952 THE WESTPORT CRIER Page Three 'lam je 0117152 OPZS LSL For the purpose of recommemor- ating the cause for which our patriots died in World War II, the annual Mnookin-Brown Scholarships will be awarded in May, 1952, to the two high school seniors in Kansas City, Missouri, who have done the most during the school year to further Hu- man Relations. All seniors in the public, Catholic and private high schools of Kansas City are eligible to participate. The rules are: 1.High school seniors will apply to the principal of their school, who will determine those quali- fied to participate. 2. Each school will be entitled to have three participants for the first 75 seniors enrolled. 3.The school representatives may be selected -in any manner ap- proved by the school principal. 4.A11 seniors, thus selected will meet at Westport high school, 8:30 a. m., April 19, 1952, where they will take an attitude and aptitude test. 5.The finals will consist of a fif- teen-minute book review or speech and an interview. 6.The judges will select the two winners with the first prize be- ing a scholarship of 35400 and the second a scholarship of 35200. 7. The scholarships will be assigned to the college selected by the senior. School activities are very important in trying for the scholarship. Here are some suggestive examples: School play, varsity basketball, school coun- cil, United Funds, stage manager, captain 1952, representative, solicited funds, secretary, program committee. For any additional information as to the list of suggested reading ma- terial recommended by the Scholar- ship Committe for use in the book review or speech, see Miss Ola Ga- latas in the counselor's office. University Women Entertain Westporters On the morning of December 26, 1951, twelve Westport girls attended a brunch given by the Kansas City University Women's Club at the So- girls phian Plaza. These Westport constitute a portion of the 100 girls club, now known as Scholasticae Cen- tum, a Latin phrase meaning 100 scholars. The purpose of this society is to honor a select group of high school girls who have shown outstanding scholarship, and to impress upon its members that such an honor must be kept polished in order that it may continue to shine. The responsibilities of membership are a continued desire to learn and a conscientious effort to obtain know- ledge. The aim of the society is that its members will some day be the leaders in their respective communitiesg for, as Mrs. Matheney, chairman of the meeting, December 26, stated, The leadership of women-in the home, in the churches and schools, in the business world and the professions- is a tremendous force in present day society. It has been through educa- tion and the subsequent dispersing of their knowledge that women have be- come leaders. The colors of this society are blue and white, and the Latin words, Scho- lasticae Centum, connote the mean- ing.

Oh, No! Was it really? Gee, I thought he was aw- fully good looking! Lorraine hasn't been the same since. Students Take Port In Rodio Discussion Members of Mr. Merle H. Shear- er's second hour aeronautics class gathered in one of KMBC's broad- cast rooms on December 11 to hear five members of their class make a transcription on Air Transporta- tion, which was broadcast on De- cember 19. Members of the panel were Bedon- na Hogan, Martha Wood, Bob Derge, Marion Calvin and Bob Burdett. Their questions were addressed to Mr. C. K. Ward of Mid-Continent Airlines. The questions asked of Mr. Ward included some of the various jobs of- fered by air lines and information on becoming an air line hostess, com- mercial pilot, and a meteorologist. Dr. Richard Ball, assistant dean at Junior College, is moderator for the program entitled, Youth Looks Ahead. Every Wednesday at 1:30 p. m. an outstanding man or woman from a representative industry and three or four students from one of the Kansas City high schools form a panel to discuss opportunities in some vocation.

For a brief sampling of titles most recent- ly acquired there is Mary Stolz's The Sea Gulls Woke for Me, for girls, and Men of Other Planets, by Kenneth Huer, for boys. Westporters are invited to look at these and the many other interesting books lining the library shelves. JANE DICKHUT and PHIL MCCOLLOM Red hair, brown eyes, 5'6 and 175 pounds . . . recognize this description. Probably not, because it is a composite description of Phil McCollom and Jane Dickhut CPhil is the 175 pound- erll. On August 25, 1934, the world, es- pecially Kansas City, was graced with the appearance of Jane Ann Dickhut. She first came to Westport in her eighth grade year, and has been in the spotlight ever since. She served on the executive board of the Student Council in 1949 and again in 1950. She is a member of the Spanish Club and last year was elected president of Promethean Literary Society. Th-is year she is on the Senior business committee. She is the holder of a sil- ver pin in the honor society. With such an impressive list of school activities, one m-ight think Jane spends all her time on scho- lastic work, but she still has time for her favorite pastimes. She loves to CUT our AND sAvE: STUDENT SPECIAL l 8xlOiportrait i dozen billfolds Your selection of eight poses - - - -Only 510.00 VICTCR BERLINE OF PARIS Call JE. 6113 3438V2 Broadway Use for Valentine's Day, Father's and Mother's Day, Graduation or any other occasion dance and says MUndecided by Les Brown and the Ames Brothers is tops. After graduation, Jane plans to at- tend K-State and major in home economics and welfare work. Phil McCollom came to Westport as a freshman, after attending MMA in the eighth grade. Phil was a mem- ber of the Student Council last year and is now secretary of Irving Liter- ary society. He is on the Tiger Den Committee and is the only member who has served two years. He is a great lover of music, with Jumping with Symphony Sid listed as his favorite, with any moderate or half fast music rating high, but he doesn't like exceptionally fast music. Ella Fitzgerald and Louie Armstrong are his favorites. Phil hasn't definitely decided but he would like to enter Princeton and study petroleum engineering. Offers College Advice Mr. Waldo Johnson, alumni secre- tary at Yale University, was a recent visitor at Westport as a special coun- selor to Westport senior and junior boys, who had considered Yale among their prospective college choices. Information concerning the V-ictor Wilson Trust Scholarship was given in order that deserving Westporters might apply for the fund. Average total expenses were estimated and Yale scholarship plans were outlined. Advantages of the college plan were pointed out and it was seen that in addition to receiving a solid educa- tion at Yale, a student would spend an enjoyable and varied four years.

How would you like to try for an interview with Audie Murphy, said an excited voice over the telephone that Monday evening. What was my answer? You guessed it, and so at 8 p. m., we CLoretta Gulaian, Helen Fer- guson and Lorraine Savellal were on our way to the Hotel Muehlebach. Ac- cording to original plans, we were to catch his personal appearance at the Uptown, but after taking into account our financial status, we decided against it. i Before we had gone very far, problem number one reared its ugly head. We discovered we had no camera. After a few dials on Mr. Bell's inven- tion, we found that our protographers were all busy, and that the press camera was locked in the school building. We had but one alternative, we had to go back after Loretta's Brownie flash. ' The answer to the first problem brought problem number two to our attention. Since we all wanted to be in the picture, we had to find some- one willing to stay in the background, and Paul McWilliams was our answer. He was difficult to convince, especially when we turned down the offer of his old-fashioned camera because we decided that when we lighted the powder for the flash, it might upset the hotel management. When we consented to add Max Moxley to our group to help Paul operate the Brownie, we were once more on our way. Arriving at the hotel, we conferred with the desk clerk, who sa-id he would give us the high sign when Audie Murphy's manager walked in, but just then through the door walked Audie Murphy, John Hudson, James Best, Yvette Dugay and Beverly Tyler. Audie was dressed in a brown trench coat and as Max put it, he was so short that he could see the part in his hair. The interview was short and sweet, in fact it was so short that there wasn't any at all, for they were -in a rush to pack and catch a train, at least, that's what the manager said. Praise Den Committee On Christmas Party Thanks to an ambitious group of Westporters, the Tiger Den Commit- tee, a plan was instigated whereby 28 homeless children were enabled to celebrate a Christmas which, accord- ing to their housemothers, was a very Y-DRIVE-IN 1411 Swope Pkwy. AR. 6985 joyous occasion. The committee re- quested the aid of all, and the re- sponse Was overwhelming. Gifts of all kinds were presented to the little colored children from the Niles Or- phan Home. Santa Claus was there in person iwell, not exactly, but Mr. Edgar Harris made a fine substituteb. There was a fascinating perform- ance by life-like mannequins as Ha- zelle and her Mar-ionettes took the stage. The music of Ray Carl pro- vided very danceable music following the special entertainment. There are great plans for the fu- ture, including a new Tiger Den Dream Girl, and other special fea- tures and entertainment. March of Dimes Campaign To End January 31 No race, color or creed has been spared in the vicious polio epidemic, therefore every race, color and creed will benefit when the National Foun- dation for Infantile Paralysis vindi- cates the dreaded disease. These are the words of the President of the United States. In 1938 another presi- dent, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in- stigated a marvelous American insti- tution, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The receipts from the annual March of Dimes drive, held the last two weeks of January, are turned over to the foundation to aid -in scientific research, in providing extensive ed- ucational facilities for doctors and nurses, and for emergency aid prob- lems.

Congratulations to Miss Durboraw's eighth grade classes. They made the bags, which were stuffed with candy, for the orphans of the Niles Home. Aeronautics students in room 309 have recently taken dimensions of a seven-cylinder air cooled airplane engine for the purpose of calculating its horsepower. One thing that im- presses the average student is that aviation engines use larger cylinders than automobile engines. The larg- er cylinders account for the vastly greater horsepower of the airplane engine compared with the automobile engine. Physiography students are much interested -in world climatic records. For instance, they learned that the coldest place in the world is in Si- beria where a temperature of 90 be- low zero was recorded, while the warmest place in the world is located in the Sahara desert, where a high Announce Change In Time For Girls' Sports Day The girls' volley ball sports day will in reality be two sports days this year. Instead of the 'games being played on Saturday, with all eight high schools represented, four schools will play their games at one time and four another at 3:15 on a school day. Westport will be hostess to Manual, Central and East on Tuesday, March 4 for volleyball. The following night Southwest will be hostess to Paseo, Southeast and Northeast. Each school will play only one game and will draw for opponents when arriving at the hostess school. With the game being played after school, students will be able to attend. of 1340 above zero has been recorded. They also learned that the dryest place is in northern Chile where they had no rain over a period of more than ten years. We may complain about Missour-i weather, but after learning these records, it's not so bad after all, is it. The first debates of the year were held Thursday, January 10, at Paseo and Westport high schools. The ques- tion was: Resolved: That all Ameri- can citizens should be subject to con- scription for essential service in time of war. Ten teams from each school took part. G. I.

The game, which went into overtime, seemed to be a certain Bengal victory until the middle of the third quarter, when in- creased Southwest accuracy and a deluge of fouls called on the Tigers tied the score. At the end of the regulation time, the score was 35-35. In the overtime period, with less than a minute and a half to play, Duncan Matteson, Southwest center, dunked the decid- ing tally, and Carl Ade added another to make the final score 39-36. The Bengals outscored the tribe from the field, 15 goals to 12, but 15 free throws, on 18 fouls levied against the Tigers, were enough to spell the difference.

Alumni Beat Varsity In Homecoming Tilt Westport's stars of the past few years got together on homecoming day, December 21, and came up with a team which was capable of regis- tering a 41-33 win over the varsity. The Bengal play was carried on largely by the reserves, who tra- ditionally gather experience in the alumni clash. Had the Tiger first string seen full action, a different outcome might have been possible. Some of the former Bengal cagers who appeared were, Jim Pendleton, '51, who was high scorer with 16 points, Bill Greenstreet, '51, Gerry Hunt, '50, and Dick Cook,'49. Don Ross was high for Westport with 8 points, followed by Dan Lowe with 7.

Tigers To Face Knights In Third league Tilt The Westport Tigers will meet the tallest team in the league, the South- west Knights at 7 p. m. tomorrow night in the Municipal auditorium. Two of the Southeast cagers tower around the six foot, six inch mark. Coach Cecil Patterson of South- east can start w-ith a lineup with an average of six feet, three inches, al- though he usually uses two or three smaller boys to speed up the attack. Kent Bryon, 6'6 and Howard Wynn, In Second league Game The Tigers, hitting a cold streak, were romped on by a straight-shoot- ing hustling East quintet, 49-35. The Bears of East opened their at- tack in the early minutes and were never headed as Russell and Bandy hit goals and left the Tigers with a four-point deficit at the first quarter mark. The Bears kept up this steady attack hitting goals with regularity and lengthened their lead to 21-13 at the intermission. The third period followed the same pattern as a hustl-ing Bear defense combined with the coolness of the Bengals shooting netted Westport only five points through the entire eight minutes. Not until the fourth quarter did the Tiger offense open up, but it was in vain as defensive lapses of the Bengals netted the Bears enough points to keep up with the now warmer pace of the Westport crew. Despite this fourth quarter burst, the Bears were on top at the end. Frank Arnone led the weak Bengal attack w-ith nine points followed closely by Howard Benson with seven.

The next time you are about to make an ex- cuse, stop and think, just how would it sound, if you honestly and sincere- ly admitted your failure. It has been said that you needn't make excuses to your friends, for if they are your friends, they'll understand, and if they're your enemies they won't be- lieve you anyway. It is great to be right but it's greater to acknowledge it when you're wrong. Doing a thing is better than just being able to do it. Re- member it's work that producesg mere smartness is not nearly enough. You cannot cash in on excuses, so no matter what the job, lessons, plans for a party, work for pay-Let's get the job done! Question: What can we do to abol- ish racial prejudice? K Brotherhood Week, February 17-24.5 Bob Siebenthaler, sub-freshman: - -. We have to real- f uupl P ize that we can't J force our way of life . on any race or peo- f pie. I think if we give equal educa- tional opportunities f'1' to all races we can make our democracy a true democ- racy. Peggy Morrow, freshman: Many talented 5 'i - '. f . people of various races are deprived of advancement be- 'ruu . cause of their race. We can first of all ' T' recognize these tal- -it ents and achieve- ments of all the races and then help them to continue in their field of work. Doug Sater, sophomore: When our coun- try is in such a tu- mult, we on the homefront, should strive to abolish this so-called fence built between races. This fence often causes problems of all sorts, causing wars as well as m-isunderstanding among neighbors. Bill Crosson, junior: I think the way to wipe out preju- dices is to extend more freedom to in- dividuals. Customs and personal feel- ings have placed barriers between races and only through education and public interest can these bar- r-iers be broken. Isabel Bolch, senior: ' f Racial prejudice ': i:i': i' 'P i s a very serious ,,,, Q problem. I think that our generation ' -L I is not as prejudiced as our parents or . grandparents. One .m K thing we could do is to teach the younger children that no matter what color of skin, race or religion, we are God's children and we must work together to solve prob- lems.

Bruce Prince Joseph began his ca- reer as chancel organist at Saint Pat- ricks' cathedral, New York City. His training was received at St. Paul's church of Kansas City, Missouri. Al- though still 'in his -early twenties, he has been called one of the leading musicians of the day. h Lester Brackerbury, whose sincer- ity and polished singing voice won the audience completely, told of his experiences while touring with Charles Laughton and the cast of Peter Pan in 1951. Three songs, an aria from the op- era, Faust, The Night Has a Thousand Eyes, and Ole Man Riv- er, were enthusiastically received by Westporters. A Cappella Choir-Jim Toevs, pres- identg Sondra West vice-presidentg Marlene Morts, secretary, Beverly Mason, merit secretaryg Eugene Stokes, treasurerg Loretta Gulaian, student council representativeg Jo Anne Olson and Jackie Shook, al- ternates. Formals of every hue, corsages of every type, and mellow music added to the beauty and gaiety of the Val- entine Intersociety dance held last Friday evening, February 8, at the Brookside Hotel. Don Accurso's band was featured. A The crowning of the six beauty queens was the highlight of the eve- ning. Shirley Bohi, Browning: Bon- nie Maier, Irvingg Pauly Palmer, Pundit: Paula Sharp, Dana: Jean Timmons, Clayg and Pat Tucker, Pro- methean, were the elected queens who reigned over the ball. Due to the fact that the Inter- society Dance was such a tremen- dous success last year the six soci- eties decided upon hav-ing the dance together again this year. The societies would like to express their thanks to the Tiger Den Com- mittee and the P.-T. A. for helping to make the dance a success.

Some of these are new titles just re- cently received in the Young People's Department at the Westport Branch libraryg others are old favorites. Most of them concern high school girls who face the same problems, sit- uations, and thrills which you ex- perience today. All are excellent stories. Some of the titles include: Sarah by Bro, Paintbox Summer by Cavan- na, Seventeenth Summer by Daly, Strong Wings by Robinson, Dancing Heart by Rosenheim, To Tell Your Love by Stolz, Steadfast Heart by Thompson, A Girl Called Hank by Walden, and Ever After by Whitney. Sets Shorthand Record The goal of every shorthand pupil is to write as many words as possi- ble in as short a time as possible with the highest rate of accuracy that can be achieved. Beverly Goodbrake, a pupil in Miss Lorena Card's first year shorthand class, is well on her way toward this goal. In December, Beverly passed the requirements for her Shorthand Speed Certificate by writing sixty words a minute, with a 982, accuracy. Beverly is the second first-year pu- pil in the history of Westport to reach this goal before Christmas. In December, 1940, Peggy Miner, daugh- ter of Mr. Dewey Miner, science in- structor, made the same record. In recent weeks, nine first-year students have passed the 60-word test. They are, Beverly Pile, Juanita Fields, Carolyn Maret, Betty Weath- erford, Sharon Plantz, Janet Hun- saker, Carolyn Broyles, Rosemary Hotmer, and Carole Reubart. New Speech Teacher Joins staff os Semester Begins A flair for acting, a love of drama, and an interest in radio, aptly de- scribe the new addition to the West- port faculty, Miss Dorothy Hilbert. Coming to Westport from Norfolk, Virginia, where she worked as traffic manager for radio station WGH, Miss Hilbert will teach speech classes. The title, traffic manager, is certainly a misnomer, for her duties entailed placing spot commercials and pro- grams, an important position in any radio station. MISS DOROTHY HILBERT In preparation for her work, Miss Hilbert, a graduate of Paseo high school, attended Junior college and Kansas university majoring in speech. She received her Master's degree in counseling and guidance. M-iss Hilbert is well acquainted with one member of the faculty, Miss Cecile Burton, who was her in- structor in radio and speech in Jun- ior college. She hopes to know many more members of the faculty and the student body beforle the semester ends. learn to Stretch Dollars During periods of inflation thrifty Americans are interested in stretch- ing the dollar. Westport offers a practical course to girls which enab- les them to do just this. Yes, Cloth- ing not only enables a girl to learn an art which she will use all her life, but at the same time is a means whereby she can save from one-third to one-half of the comparative pr-ice of a ready-made garment by sewing it herself. . This fact has been proved time and time again, and in the present clothing classes of Miss Helen Guffin and Miss Estelle Durboraw, it is dem- onstrated quite well. Take for in- stance, the winter coat made by Neita Frohmuth, an advanced sewing stu- dent. The cost of making the coat was under 8530, while the cost of a similar garment is estimated at ap- proximately S65. Less expensive items sewed by girls show a saving which is relatively just as great. Sue Down- er, a second year girl, figures that she has saved over S15 on just the two skirts and dress she completed the first semester. The girls sew for others, too. Rox- anne Hart, another of Miss Guffin's second year students, used her sew- ing period to make some tailored men's shirts for Christmas gifts, while Ruthmarie Skomal, another third year student, has spent her time on a child's red wool coat. An attractive red corduroy jacket sported by Helen Gallegar, a fresh- man in Miss Durboraw's class, a tail- ored white blouse made by another freshman, Pat Johnson, as well as an attractive beige corduroy dress which Pat Rates, a senior, has completed emphasize the fact that Clothing is not only a thrifty course, and one that keeps students alert as to styles and types of fabrics, but is also a fascinating hobby which makes lei- sure time useful time.

It wasn't until he received an answer from Mr. Robert H. Wood, editor of this magazine which Mr. Shearer uses as a reference in his-aeronautics classes, that he made the discovery. Mr. Wood recalled his years at Westport and sent his personal re- gards to the members of the faculty in his letter to Mr. Shearer. He was a member of the Crier-Herald staff at Westport, and continued his edu- cation in journalism at Northwestern university. Mr. D. H.

Mr. John Booth, newswriting instructor, en- couraged Mr. Wood to continue his work in journalism. - v Study Firsl Aid Methods The Health Center assistants are now using their regular Monday class ses- sions to become proficient in admin- istering first aid techniques which they have previously studied. They practice on each other and also have adequate opportunity to practice on casualties of the physical education classes. The object of these sessions is to teach the girls all first aid skills that would be needed in case of an air raid. Each assistant has been as- signed a station where she will be on duty at the time of each air raid drill. The girls are: Barbara Power, Barbara Colson, Vera Saunders, Inez Simpson, Shirley Owen, Eleanor Sheperd, Marvia Faulkner, and Ruth Stephens. RS- 'll: 6f' l508i0 GnnnnAvE KAusAs Cn'xMq, Y-DRIVE-IN 1411 Swope Pkwy. AR. 6985 Prepared For Future Right in step with the times is a relatively new course in the Kansas City schools, Family Living. This course does away with the obsolete idea that a woman instinctively has all knoweldge necessary for main- taining a marriage, raising a family. and keeping within a nice low budget without any trouble at all. The actual purpose of the class is to help prepare youth for their in- dividual futures. This is done in part by working out and trying to solve problems that bother the students about the past, present and their fu- ture. Some of these problems are: What is popularity? How do you make and keep friends? What goals are to be attained in marriage and family living? What makes for a happy marriage? How do you intel- ligently face problems within mar- riage? Is it possible to be a satis- factory wife and mother and have a career? Why are there so many di- vorces? How do you prevent 'it? How to get along with parents, brothers and sisters? What happens to those who do not marry? What about dat- ing and how do you make a good choice of a mate? What is a good age to be married? The instructor of the course, Miss Helen Guffin, gave this explanation of the course, Our changes in liv- ing conditions, living standards, and living costs have stimulated interest in education for family living. A rap- dily changing society has made us aware of the need for constant study to meet the changing needs of the family in this society. Life has be- come more complex and many exter- ior controls have been removed. This has called for building for inner con- trol or self control in behavior, rath- er than for imposing a behavior pat- tern from without. Today's modern teenager needs guidance and the class in family liv- ing is designed to give help and coun- sel for living in today's world. Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Step right up.

Students To those who missed the Shipwreck Paul McWilliams and Jim Moore's The King and In Pat Kmg and Tiger Den, you missed the only event of the year that the fashion was not to be very fashionable. From Pat Tucker and Connie Tatum in shorts to Helen Ruf and Inez Simpson in sailor suits, every type of seafaring garb was seen. Mr. Miner was doing an experi-' ment for his third hour physics class when suddenly the flame went out in the Bunsen burner. Mr. Miner looked startled, and spotted a boy leaning on the gas hose without meaning to. The boy raised his el- bow, and the experiment continued. Don't be alarmed if you are ap- proached in the hall with the query, Has your house ever burned down? It is only Irving Philgreen's sales approach for selling fire extinguish- ers. It was good to see the alumni back from all the various colleges between semesters. Guess -it's pretty rough, huh? When asked why she stopped sing- ing in the church choir, Jody Olson replied, I was absent last week and everyone wanted to know if the or- gan had been fixed. . We always approve of people study- ing, but when Jo Ann Bresina gets so engrossed in typing that she de- cides to stay in after class and finish a letter, we begin to worry, especially since she has typing fifth hour. We think this may need some explaining to her sixth hour teacher.

Have you ever wondered what hap- pens to all of the money that is lost or dropped on the floor during the shuffle of the day? Well, after doing a little snoopin', we found that one of the custodians, or as we all know him, Woody saves all of the money he finds and contributes it to the March of Dimes. This year's contri- bution amounted to 35.52. The curtain is going up on act three of The Sadler's Wells Ballet Coppelia, and on stage as part of the cast are two Westport girls, Bev- erly Garbee, sophomore, and Ginger Ebert, eighth grader. They were two of the four Amer- icans that took part in the ballet. Other members of the cast were Eng- lish. It was agreed by both Beverly and Ginger that it was truly a wonder- ful experience and the English troupe was a talented and friendly group of people. Jimmy Douglas Gentlemen Prefer Blondes ....

Action! Camera! Into the range of. the camera lens step our two favorites for this issue, JoAnn Olson and Max Moxley. Jody Olson, a bundle of charm and personality, has been very active in her years at Westport. She is president of Pundit literary society, and an active member of Speech Arts, Pep Club, Honor Society, and a cappella. Jody is a one of the many who loves to laugh. She has a contagi0US giggle and her sense of humor has won her many friends. Of course, Jody is a music lover, too. Just any kind of music will do. but she prefers Randy Brooks Ten- der1y and Tell Me Why played by the Four Aces. And, if you should happen to stop at a drive-in for a snack, cherry-limeade is the usual Olson suggestion. After graduating this year, she plans to attend Kansas University or William Jewell. But whatever she does, college or career, Jody will en- joy every minute of it. Sharing the spotlight with Jody is Max Moxley. Max, too, has been very active -in sports and clubs. His fav- orite sport is football. He held the position of quarterback in '50 and was a guard and center in '5l.i Max's other activities include Irv- ing literary society, W Club, and Hon- or Society. George Washington Inspiration Today Next Tuesday the entire nation will join in a humble and respectful sa- lute to the first president of the world's greatest republic. It has been stated, and rightly so, that George Washington did more for the benefit of his country than any other man in the world's history. It is far from possible for any of us to emulate this record, but it is very logical to cherish the spirit of liberty and freedom which has come to us through our heritage at the ex- pense of countless thousands of young men who have so gallantly striven to establish and maintain our coun- try as The Land of the Free. Today's world is in a chaotic state and it will require the combined mil- itary and political genius of all of our notable leaders if we are to emerge as a civilized people. On the other hand, perhaps if all of us, all American students, set as an illustri- ous example, as our first president, maybe then we might say, Deo ad- juvante, non timendumf'-God help- ing, nothing is to be feared. One way to Max's heart is to feed him spaghetti and chili the prefers his mother'sJ. He enjoys listening to Sentimental Journey by the Ames Brothers. Another way to Max's heart is to play any record just so Nat King Cole is the vocalist. As for the future, Max plans to at- tend the Rolla School of Mines or Warrensburg next year, majoring in civil engineering or teaching. News of the Alumni Dick Asher, '47, visited Westport on January 28. Dick is a graduate of Washington university and he is now a freshman at the Kansas university medical school.

The Cubs played hustling ball throughout the game and the outcome was never in doubt as Westport hit regularly the entire game. The little Tigers showed all- around ability in every department as they outclassed the Knights. Ron Bayless paced the Tigers with 13 points followed by Bill Wycoff who sank 10. WESTPORT 45-CENTRAL 26 The Westport Cubs won their third straight league game as they routed the Central Eaglets 45-26. The first quarter was evenly fought with both teams cold from the field. It ended with a five-all tie, but in the second period the Cubs hit a hot streak and pulled into a fifteen point lead with Ron Bayless and Doug Sater showing the Way. The third quarter followed the same pattern and it was not until the fourth period that Central came to life too late in the game. The Cub reserves fought off this mild rally and ended with the victory. 5 Ron Bayless again led the attack with l4,points along with Mike Jones who had 12. WESTPORT 59-PASEO 45 The Paseo Pirates B team proved that their shooting wasn't good enough to stand up against the hustling Westport second team as they were beaten 59-45. The Cubs played Very good offensive ball all through the four quarters of the game, and scoring 21 points in the fourth quarter, put them ahead by 14 points. Scoring honors were split between Doug Sater and Mike Jones, each dumping in 11 points. From the starting buzzer, which marked the opening of the Inter- scholastic League play, to the ending buzzer, the Tigers turned in a record of three wins and four losses to claim a fifth place in a tie with Southeast. Westport's first league game result- ed 'in an overtime defeat at the hands of the favored Southwest Indians. Al- though the Tigers outscored the Tribe from the field, the free throws on the fouls levied were the deciding factors. The Tigers bowed to the East Bears in the second league tilt. A cold streak -in the Tiger shooting led the hustling straight-shooting Bears to a 49-35 victory. With two losses chalked up against them, the Tigers turned in their hot- test performance of the season to down the Southeast Knights 48-41. This win tied the Tigers for third place with Southeast. The Central Eagles went down be- fore the hard fighting Tigers to the the tune of 41-38. The T-igers took lead at the start and only in the last quarter did the Eagles threaten. This victory placed the Tigers in a six way tie for second place. Westport was handed its third de- feat by the Paseo Pirates in an excit- ing overtime game, 47-46. Dave Rink- er was responsible for the deciding talley that placed Westport in a three-way tie for third place. The Tigers were easy prey for the powerful Northeast Vikings. As the final buzzer rang, the scoreboard showed a 57-32 victory for the Vik- ings, putting the Tigers near the cel- lar position. Westport's last game was a victory at the expense of the Manual Red Birds, as the Tigers racked up 64 points to Manual's 42, giving West- port a 3-4 record. Westport broke even in non-league PZIUSC Homework KANSAS CITY COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO. play, with a 3-3 record. The Tigers defeated Redempotrist, Maryville and Ward, but were downed by Lillis, Washington and De LaSalle. It remains to be seen what the Ti- gers will do in the Regionals, but Westporters hopes are once again fo- cused on next year's squad. With a strong second team, prospects look promising.

Charlton HeSf0n'S Goal I 1 l Is Shakespearean Role From the circus to the Shakespear- ean drama is a b'ig step, but if the past performances of Charlton Hes- ton, as an amateur in school and col- lege, and later as a professional with stock companies, on the radio, Broad- way, and the screen and television, mean anything, it will not be hard for Charlton to realize his ambition to play a Shakespearean role. Now with The Greatest Show on Earth behind him, and his next picture, i'Warbonnet, coming up, Heston feels that he has reached what he calls a career threshold, or Where do we go from here? 3 1 'fRP?yINSTATEMENT OF THE WESTPORT R.

Ed Bow- don, senior, looks on and Gerald Lisenby, eighth-grader, awaits his turn to sign. Photo by Stower. When we realize that boys with inadequate military training are much less able to take care of themselves 'in battle, we wonder whether somewhere boys will die because we did not urge them to take R. O. T. C. Membership in the R. O. T. C. does not commit a boy to military service, but it does get him ready for the strenuous training ahead. This statement made by Mr. D. I-I, Holloway in support of the current drive to reinstate R. O. T. C. in Westport, presents a common-sense approach to one of Westport's biggest problems. Members of the faculty and the student body were stunned when the Westport unit, which for three and one-half decades had won trophies and brought much glory to the school. was discontinued last spring. Out- standing men in the armed forces and worthy citizens were products of the Westport training program. Two former Colonels from Westportls R. O. T. C. received appointments for West Point Military Academy. Something constructive is being done to return the R. O. T. C. to the school. Interested boys have circu- lated a petition and 115 prospective cadets have pledged to enroll. Names of 150 are needed before the petition is sent to Lieutenant Colonel George L. Brittingham, Reserve Officer Training Corps of Kansas City, for approval. It will then be forwarded to Chicago and finally it will go to the Adjutant General in Washington, D. C. If approved R. O. T. C. will be offered next year. Bill Abel to Represent Westport City Hall Day Westport will be represented on City Hall day by William Abel, sen- ior, who was elected as one of the ten student councilmen in the elec- tion held February 13. Bill is the president of student council and he was a member of Westport's varsity football squad. The honor of serving as student mayor went to Robert E. Myers, a senior at Central high school. My- ers, along with the ten councilmen, three judges, and appointed officials, will hold office for one day, April 17. On February 25, the mayor and councilmen will appoint a city man- ager, from candidates selected by the student councils of each school. The city manager will appoint the depart- ment heads, who 'in turn select eighty-eight students for appointive offices. CHARLTON HESTON Photo by Stower.

The rugged hand- some 6'2 , 205 Apounder plays the role of Brad, the circus manager, the trouble-shooter and fighting force behind the circus. While shooting the picture, Charlton said that in the six months that he traveled with the circus, he learned a great deal about the circus life, and that the people were a wonderful bunch. When asked about his most em- barrassing moment, Heston laugh- ingly said that it happened in Phila- delphia while he was traveling with CContinued on Page 25 --- - .. .....-..... -... -X .wa C., ..,a...fN... . ..-..x.-. .- ,. . , wh Pa,geTw0 THE WESTPORT CRIER Feb1'uaI'y28,1952 loin Hands For Service --Red Cross Drive Do you want to help others who are less fortunate?

C. ball attended by more than 1,000 students from six high schools, Southwest, Paseo, Central, Southeast, East and Northeast, last night in the arena of the Mu- nicipal Auditorium. This was the thirty-fifth birthday anniversary of the R. O. T. C. After reading this clipping from last Friday's TIMES, many Kansas Citians have asked the question, WHERE WAS WESTPORT? THE BIG SCHOOL THAT WASN'T THERE. This is a difficult question to answer especially when many recall that a Westport cadet, Donald Stackhouse, was the regimental colonel in com- mand of all Kansas City high school R. O. T. C. battalions, last year. Since 1934 Westport has had eight colonels compared with nine for all other schools combined. The Westport unit always had an outstanding record of achievement, and it was not disbanded for this reason. Westport's principal, Mr. D. H. Holloway, was a civilian instructor of the first R. O. T. C, unit in Kansas City. His interest and support never lagged from this early beginning. Certainly, administrative and faculty sup- port was never lacking. With this background, it has been difficult for Westporters to under- stand what actually did happen when the Westport unit was taken out. Low enrollment was the basic reason given, and all the rest that was said and printed is best forgotten. If enrollment requirements can be met, it is hoped that once again cadets will bring home their share of honor to the school. Westport has a history of achievement in all fields of endeavor. The statement that It was the big school that wasn't there is a bitter pill to swallow.

Music Program Entertains The members of the Christian Col- lege double sextet dressed in blue skirts and wh-ite jackets won the ap- plause of Westporters in an essembly program, Thursday, February 14. The selections were varied, running the gamut from the beautiful Victor Her- bert number to such popular songs as Singing in the Rain. Vocal and piano solos added to the entertain- ment. Miss Geneva Youngs, sister of Miss Marie Youngs, English teacher at Westport, was the director. The col- lege is a girls' school located in Co- lumbia, Missouri. 211125 90 Step into the time machine and it will take you back 38 years when the girls in long silk dresses and the high buttoned shoes, and the boys in white spats, expensive suits, vests, white shirts and ties, could be seen walking up and down the cor- ridors. Then too, there was a green house and the study hall sported a big clock in those days. While reading The Crier, published by a staff composed of members of every class, we learned that Irving decided to hold its annual banquet at the Union Station, and Pundit had a debate on Woman Suffrage. On the sports, a glaring headline told this story, Clays Revenge 17-13. Upon reading the story, we find that Irving defeated Clay 43-9, and Clay finally got revenge in baseball. Another surpr-ising fact was uncov- ered on the sports page-the sopho- mores won one of the interclass meets. A petition to have pie included on the menu in the cafeteria brought results. From the gym we hear, Raz- zle dazzle, not a frazzel, every thread is wool. All together, all together, that's the way we pull. We chuckle at the old-fashioned cheer, and as we look in the gym we see the players in white tennis shoes, dark knee stockings and quilted shorts and a shirt with no sleeves and a V-neck. A freshman boy in knickers, Cfresh- men could not wear long pantsl, tells us that there are only four teams in the league, Manual, Central, North- east and Westport. All of a sudden before we know it we are back in 1952, and as we step out of the time machine we think to ourselves that things were certainly different 38 years ago at Westport. CContinued from Page lJ the circus. He was sitting in a limou- sine with Cornel Wilde and a little boy poked his head in and asked for an autograph. Charlton said that he turned and in his most gracious man- ner reached for the pad and pencil. Not you, came the boy's reply, Cornel Wilde. Heston hopes he can avoid the pit- falls that tripped some players who, in the past, seemed headed for top- ranking stardom. To high school re- porters, he appeared to be a sensi- ble and talented actor, and his chances for reaching the top should be good.

Valuable advice to students: Just because you have an occasional spell of despondency don't despair, the sun has a sinking spell every single night. Flash! The mystery surrounding Jim Hand has been solved. He isn't a millionaire nor a member of an eight-car family. He's an employee in a used car lot. The students of Mr. E. J. King's public speaking classes are beginning to wonder whether the assignment to tell a joke was such a good idea or not. Hearing them in class was wonderful. Hearing them told again to friends who hadn't heard them wasn't too bad, but let's face it, hear- ing Jane Carmichael laugh as if it were the first time at a joke she had heard five times before is going just a little too far. A song which has recently been heard coming in full force from the senior class has been: All I want is money for my senior fees, my senior fees, for my senior fees. All I want is money for my senior fees, so I can take part in graduation. It has been said that if eighth hours gave credit very few seniors would have to worry about graduating. The drivers' education class is learning many interesting things, for For Smart Styles ms S. H. E. Smart Fashion 3903 Main St. Open Evenings example, pedestrians aren't being hit so often these days. It seems that once 'is enough. It took a dentist to discover a way to keep Phyllis Rogers' conversation down to a mere 300 words a minute. While working on her teeth, he 'in- jected a substance which left half of her face numb. Larry Goetz was the featured pre- stidigitator -in the magic show at a recent Tiger Den, Asking for a vol- unteer, Gene Stokes stepped forward and answered that he would like to have a little rabbit appear on his head. After some weird incantations and mystical signs by Larry, Gene admitted that he felt a little fhairb on his head. Ping-pong experts will have a chance to show their stuff in the an- nual tournament at the next Tiger Den. Today is the last day for reg- istrations. Mrs. Palmer, attendance clerk, looked surprised as she was handed a yellow envelope by Jo Ann Mc- Farland. What is -it? she said.

Shows Heirloom To Class Although it is a museum piece and may be worth much money, Carl Carl- son declares that he will never part with his family Bible. He brought the wood bound, goat skin covered Swed- ish Bible, which is 142 years old, to show to his fellow classmates in Miss Eggleston's English class recently. The Bible was given to Carl's grandmother by his great grandmoth- er with the stipulation that it should be given to him. Perhaps this will be an incentive for Carl to learn Swedish.

But perhaps, the problems can be solved by looking into the various scholar- ships which are offered not only by colleges but by numerous organiza- tions. ' The Phillips Petroleum Company, for example, provides gift scholar- ships, under which any student main-- taining adequate personal and scho- lastic standards and who complies with the rules under which the fund is administered can receive a gift of S500 annually during each year of college attendance at an accredited institution of higher learning. To sons and daughters of the mem- ers of America, C. I. O. District 34 offers a scholarship worth 82,500 to the student standing highest 'in the western district, for which the exam- ination centers will be: Des Moines, Iowag Kansas City, Missourig and Omaha, Nebraska. The George West- inghouse scholarship valued at 32,850 each year is awarded to a high school senior boy whether enrolled in either a public, private or parochial school. It will be presented in the spring of 1952, and may be applied toward a course in engineering. Students who have parents work- ing in any of the previously men- tioned companies are urged to look into the many splendid opportunities for scholarships which are open to G I B S 0 N ' S Brewer Printing Co. 5 E- 39th Sf. 2l2 E. 39th St. JE. 741 l LO. 8604 bers of the United States Steel Work- them.

Pairings which ranked Lillis and North Kansas City 1-2 were made on a won and lost percentage basis. League standings were not considered. Lillis has won 26 and lost 1 and North Kansas City boasts a 24-2 record. From the 'interscholastic league, Southeast C12-49 was ranked fourth and Northeast 611-55 was fifth.

Tigers Trounce Eagles In their first warm-up for the re- gionals, Westport's hoopsters made an impressive showing over the Rus- kin Eagles on Friday, February 15, on the Eagles' home court. The Tig- ers, using reserves much of the way, used their speed, paired with accur- ate passing to set up a profusion of successful plays which spelled the difference in the 51-42 final score. The Bengal second string gave a good accounting for themselves throughout the contest by holding the Ruskin regulars with nearly as much effect as did the starters. High scorer for both schools W-ith 18 points was Ronald Gay of Ruskin. Arnone, who collected 17, was followed by Bernard Benson with 10. February 26-29-High School Re- gionals.

A 10-cent increase in the school operating levy, ap- proved by the Board of Educa- tion, will be submitted to the vot- ers on this date. This 10-cent increase would make a total levy for school pur- poses of 81.78 on the S100 as- sessed valuation. The present levy is 31.68. Tie In Oration Contest Two winners were chosen out of a group of five who participated in the twenty-second annual oration contest last Tuesday, February 26, in the school auditorium.

Others participating -in the contest were: Perky Bergfeldt, Frank Hay- den and Shirley Bohi. Judges for the contest included Miss Marie Brubak- er, Miss Mary S. Wheeler, Miss Dor- othy Hilbert and Mr. Edwin King. Dancing, Singing, Comedy, Highlight Talent Show Tryouts There is no business like show business and no problems like show prob- lems. Every production, large or small, amateur or professional, has its ups and downs prior to opening night. Westport's talent show, previously scheduled for the evening of March 14, is no exception. This show has been postponed in- definitely until the arrival of West- port's sorely needed new stage light- ing panel. Nevertheless, the tryouts were held in the auditorium Wednes- day and Thursday afternoons, Febru- ary 27 and 28 with the expectation of presenting the revue this spring. Lively songs, dance novelties, im- personations, dramatizations from Alice in Wonderland and other plays, and hand balancing were among the many acts presented at the tryouts. Those chosen to appear in the final production were: Tom Lyons and Sandra Reynolds, Mary Scott, Bottle Boys, Ginger Ebert, Georgianne Shaw, Sally Lindeman, t'Al'ice in Wonderland group, Mary Adkins, Huckstep group, Helen Ruf and Ha- zel Case, Charles Scott and Bob Hooley, Barbara Grosse, Jackie Shook, Vivian Philgreen, Connie Ta- tum, Mary Jacoby, Bill Miser, Bill Langhenry and Jack Rosson, Pat Pryor, Fayth Ann Most, Erma Lar- rick, Katie Wright, and Mr. Moore's tumblers.

Car pools, telephone teams, public announcements and many other publicity measures are being planned to acquaint the pub- lic with the facts and the financial needs. Realizing that Without this levy hike the Kansas City schools will fall far behind others in the nation, pat- rons and friends are actively engaged in a program for getting all possible voters registered. The prospective voter must sign an affidavit stating that he has lived in Missouri a year, and that he has been a resident of the school district 60 days. This can be done at the Board of Election Commissioners in the basement of the County Courthouse before April 8. The proposed levy guarantees a full educational program and finan- cial support. The 10-cent increase on the 3100 assessed valuation sought for school operation for the next two years would be used in this pro- portion: 4 cents-Improvement of teacher retirement. 3 cents-Added teachers and em- ployees to take care of in- creased enrollment. 3 cents-Increased supplies and costs . Add Books For Memorial Seven more books were added to the collection in the school library in honor of John L. Shouse, principal of Westport 1913-29. The John L. Shouse Memorial fund was estab- lished by graduates who wished to honor Mr. Shouse while he is living. Each year, S20 is taken from this fund to buy books that are -interest- ing and instructive for the library. The two seniors and juniors that assisted Miss Maurine Fairweather, librarian, in choosing the books this year were: seniors-Jean Timmons and Phillip McCol1om, and juniors- Pat Ward and Charles Pritchard. The books added to the library were: Treasury of American Folk- lore by Botkin, Our F. B. I. by Floherty, Arabian Nights? King Arthur and His Knights, Look at America, and two editions of Year. The mid-century edition 1900-50 and the 1951 edition. e- A- ...gin . e L-ef,-. H..-.. .,- .- V- ig .e,.-.sms f sesyssn nie.- -g -4-2 rx-N,-2 S-.

Hope you like it enough to want to make 'it a per- manent part of your paper. First I have some jokes for youq you are still reading aren't you? If you are one of those very for- tunate people who fall on the dance floor, here are three ways to avoid embarrassment: 1. Just lie there: they'll think you fainted. S 2. Get up gracefully: they'll think it's part of the dance. 3. Start mopping up the floor with your handkerchief: they'll think you work there. Did you know that Southwest high school has taken the honors all three years in the three-year history of the city-wide R. O. T. C. regimental ball? Its candidates for queen have continually been selected. This year Miss Ardith Alford received the hon- or of being crowned queen. Con- gratulations !

Pull up a chair and sit down, you're just in time to hear the latest platter chatter from ye 'ole record rater. After giving the phono- graph a few cranks we are ready to begin. First on the turntable, let's spin Kay Starr's recording of The Wheel of Fortune. Other popular record- ing artists, along with Kay's, are the Bell Sisters, and Billy Williams quar- tet. Another top hit is by the famed French singers, Les Compagnons de la Chanson, and it is The Three Bells. Eddie Fisher's rendition of the tender ballads, Trust in Me, and i'Te1l Me Why? have been claim- ing many a juke box nickel these days. A new, gay, light-hearted song just released is Guy Mitchells' new waxing of Pittsburg Pa. The top side of this disc is, :The Doll with the Sawdust Heart!! i'Bermuda, by the Bell Sisters, and i'Wishing by Russ Morgan and also Eddie Howard are fast rising song hits. Dean Martin fans will be interested to know that he has a new recording called, Blue Smoke, which is real smooth and dreamy. Put on your cowboy boots and grab your guitar, while you listen to Red Foley's Bucket Boogie and Salty Dog Rag. OOOhhh! Ker plunk!

Cubs Tle Wlth Manual As Second Team Champs When the final gun was sounded to end the league season, the Westport Cubs, under the expert guidance of coach Paul Sloan, found themselves with a 6 won, 1 lost record giving them a first place tie with Manual for the second team league cham- pionship. The Cubs' first game was far from a morale booster. Although the Cubs hit from the floor during the whole game, the Southwest team just bare- ly got through 34-36. The second game showed the hid- den talent of the Cubs, when they defeated a romping East team high- ly favored to win this game. The 'B team Knights from South- east proved no match for a scrappy Cub team when they were downed., 45-26, on their own court, to give the Cubs their second league victory. Central's Eaglets were handed a slip with defeat written on it when the Cubs won their third consecutive league victory 45-26. The Cubs, with the experience of previous games, then went ahead for their fourth straight league victory by defeating a hustling Paseo team 59-45. This put them in the number two spot on the scoreboard. The last two games, the most im- portant, were played with much suc- cess and the Westport Cubs ran ahead and defeated Manual, the top team at that time, 59-50-and a hustling Northeast team on Westport's home court-47-27. With this kind of rec- ord prospects look bright for next season. Tlgers Place Third In Regional Contest The Rockhurst class A Regional tournament was won by the fighting Ir-ish from Lillis, who went on to win a third in the Missouri class A high school basketball tournament held in Columbia, Missouri, last week. St. Louis University high won this year's championship. After a first-round victory over Southeast in the Reg-ionals, the West- port Tigers narrowly missed another crack at the Irish, but were defeated by the Vikings of Northeast 47-45 in two overtimes. Defeating DeLaSalle in their last game, the Tigers round- ed out the season with a third place in the regionals. Th Northeast game, with the sud- den death overtime, was the closest Kansas City h-igh school game of the season ending with the score 47-45. The Tigers won their final basket- ball game with DeLaSalle in another close game, 41-39. Westport led throughout the contest despite a sec- ond half rally that came within points of defeating the Tigers. The game was a successful climax to a fairly successful season that gave Westport 8 wins against 8 losses against the toughest competition in this area. I Kelly Takes First In 880-Yard Run Duane Kelly, Westport senior, copped first place in the 880-yard run in the high school division of the annual Big 7 track meet. His time was close to the record 2:08.5 seconds. Shawnee Mission high school in Johnson county and Southwest of the Interscholastic league won first place in their respective divisions. Tom Albert of Southwest was the only record smasher in the contest. His 53.5 second in the 440-yard dash erased the former record established and held by a Northeast trackster. Other participating Westporters were Clinton Kelly, Doug Sater and Jim Smith. According to the viewers, Clint, an able successor to Duane, due to an unfortunate accident, did not place in the 440, but would have come a close second to the victor had the accident not occurred. Westport had planned to enter a mile-relay team but due to the sickness of a prospective member, was unable to do so. Big Cage Tournament In City This Week The biggest and most representa- tive cage tournament, the N. A. I. B., began last Monday morning in the Municipal auditorium. Thirty-two of the best small college basketball teams will battle for the National Association of Intercollegiate Basket- ball championship and a berth in the Olympic play-offs. The winner of the N. A. I. B. meets the cham- pion of the N. C. A. A. here March 29 to determine the United States entry 'in the Olympic games at Hel- sinki. Hamline, Eastern Illinois, South- west Texas State, Murray State of Kentucky and Millikin are some of the teams expected to be able to reach Friday night's semi-finals and the finals on Saturday.

This appearance was made possible because she was star- ring in the play, Second Threshold , at the Orpheum theater. High School Star In her senior year, Martha Ellen Scott starred in The Patsy, a play directed by Miss Alicia Keeler and Mr. Albert Humphreys. She decided to continue her drama work at the University of Michigan, and after re- ceiving an AB degree, she taught for a short time. Her first opportunity came during the Chicago World's Fair when she played Shakespearean roles at the Globe Theater. After the Fair, Miss Scott journeyed to New York where she awaited her big chance- a role in a Broadway stage produc- tion, but it was almost two years be- fore the right opportunity came along. When it did, it was a leading role in Thornton Wilder's Our Town. Even today, Miss Scott still CContinued on Page 45 WELCOME BACK!

The ma- chine, insured for 3300, will be award- ed to the best typist in the Kansas City, Missouri Public Schools, in a contest to be held at the Junior Col- lege on May 7. The test will be a production type including letters, rough drafts, tabu- lations and other office typing pro- jects. The National Office Manage- ment Association, an organization composed of approximately 125 Kan- sas City business firms, has planned the testing program. Any pupil who is enrolled in a typewriting class at the time the test is given is eligible. However, the contestant must have begun his typing instruction on or after September 1, 1950. The tests will be graded by the National Office Management Association of Philadel- phia, Pennsylvania. The prize, a Royal portable, is be- ing offered by the Midwest Type- writer Company.

New hair styles have been in the spotlight for some time. Some advocates of the poodle style are: Barbara Thomsen, Connie Tatum, Sue Brower, Marilyn Davidson, Bonnie Maier, and Marilyn Linde-man. Another popular style is the pony tail. Beverly Mason, Jackie Shook, Adrienne Asher, Bedonna Ho- gan and Mary Jane Youngs vote for the latter style. Fashionwise from head to foot- another popular style 'is the wearing of white bucks. Fellows and gals go- ing along with this fad include: Ben Gardner, Anna Goeckeler, Ruth Quig- ley, Pat Tucker, Jim Hand, Carolyn Maret and Martha Palmgren. Quilted skirts are favorites among these girls: Karyl Unruh, Marlene Morts, Phyllis Rogers and Sandy Col- lins. We should have some new styles by next issue, so, see you then. An Easter Message You can do a wonderful thing to- day. You can help a Crippled Child. In Jackson County, there are men and women living useful, happy lives because Easter Seals helped them in their childhood. This is what your Easter Seal g-ift will do: 1.Find crippled children and help plan for their care. 2. Bring home teaching to many who cannot attend school. 3. Give aid, such as appliances, wheel chairs, transportation. f 4. Create opportunity for the handi- capped through public informa- tion. 5.Support community services for crippled children and adults. Give your gift . . . as large as you can afford . . . to help a crippled child. Use the seals on your mail so that you may remind others of the work. We Do Hove u Port to Play! . . Only 4192, of the qualified voters went to the polls to cast a vote. To thinking Americans, this apparent lack of interest in the affairs of our country is appalling. Compared with other democratic countries, the per- centage of voters is small. Why should people worry about this? They realize that since our country is a nation founded on the principle, government by the people that to keep it strong citizens must take part. Without the 'interest of the public. those interested in furthering their own selfish desires will introduce graft and corruption into government. What can high school pupils do? We have the responsibility of encour- aging others to vote. By showing an active interest in political questions, and reminding others to vote for important measures, we can have a part in this 'important work now. On April 8, we have an opportunity to take an interest in an election. A new levy must be voted to operate the Kansas City schools for the next two years. It is possible for us to acquaint the voters with such facts as: enrollment has been increased by 4,469 new pupils, just as family expenses have increased so have wages, cleaning supplies, fuel, telephones and all other school necessities increased, a study of 25 comparable cities nationally shows 17 cities have higher annual costs per pupil than Kansas City, that higher enrollment and increased prices necessitate a 10c increase over the 1950 levy. School levy Election April 8 The levy passed in 1950 was for a two-year period. It expired with the payment of 1951 taxes. The statutes provide that school levies must be approved by the people at one or two-year intervals when a rate higher than 31.00 is needed. Therefore, a new levy must be voted this spring to operate the schools for the next two years. Purpose of the School Levy The money provided by the levy is for operating expenses . . . the day to day costs for teaching, custodial service, heat, lights, books, supplies and an endless list of daily needs. The levy funds correspond to household ex- penses for supplies for which you appropriate money each Week or month. Increased Enrollment Adds to School Costs Since the last levy was approved, enrollment has been increased by 4,469 new pupils. They require additional books, supplies and school fa- cilities equal to three additional high schools, or five large elementary schools, with 128 additional teachers. A further increase of about 4,000 new pupils is expected before the proposed levy will expire in 1953. Ten Cent Increase Because of the increased enrollment and the higher prices for every- thing the schools must buy, operational expenses have risen greatly in spite of economical administration. To meet a portion of this increase the Board of Education is proposing a 48c school levy. The costs have been pared re- peatedly to bring necessary funds down to an absolute minimum essential to adequate full-term schools without jeopardizing school standards, ratings and recognition.

Spring Book Suggestions With the coming of spring and warm weather everyone enjoys a visit to the zoo. The Westport Branch Li- brary has some books that would make the zoo and its animals even more interesting. One of these books is Animal Kingdo-m by Raymond Ditmars. This story tells of some of his interesting experiences as curator of reptiles and mammals at the Bronx Zoo in New York.

After this great recognition, the entire cast was asked to come to Hollywood where the mov- ie was to be made. It also proved 'tide ' 3831 MAIN STREET to be a Pulitzer prize winner. Favorite Role Martha Scott was on her way at last. All in all, she has made nine movies, seven of which proved to be complete successes. It has been said, that one of her movies, Cheers for Miss Bishop, has done more to glor- ify the teaching profession than any other. Incldentally, this movie is her favorite, although, as a rule, she en- joys stage productions more. Cffering advice to aspiring thes- pians, Miss Scott said that she rec- ommended a good theatrical prepara- tory school. It is almost impossible VALENTINE DRIVE-IN 3617 Main Across from the Armory STEAKBURGERS AND FOUNTAIN DRINKS New Science Machine Makes Sound Visible Only one other high school in Kansas City has one, said Mr. D. H. Miner, physics teacher, proudly dis- playing a new oscilloscope to the Hi-Y club. Explaining the latest addition to the physics equip- ment, Mr. Miner stated first of all that the machine is the heart of ra- dar and television and can be used in unlimited ways. Going into a high- ly technical explanation of electrons, oscillations and cathode rays, he put his definition in simpler terms for the unscientific and explained that the oscilloscope is simply a device for studying vibrations, up to 750,000 per second. A microphone used with the instru- ment which is similar in appearance to a television set, will best explain this. Speaking into the microphone, which is hooked up with oscilloscope, a person can see a picture of his voice as a green fluorescent line vibrates and changes with the fluctuations in pitch as he speaks. In the same manner it measures instrumental vi- brations and can be used to tune -in- struments. In fact it is so accurate that a singer can determine his true- ness of pitch by measuring the vi- brations pictured on the screen. structure of this In a commercial way, Mr. Miner explained, the oscilloscope, which with accessories cost approximately 35250, is used in testing and servic- 'ing television and radio sets, and in the military field it is used among other things, to alert obs-ervers of the direction, speed, and distance of an approach-ing enemy plane. Edu- cationally it will give a clearer mean- ing to the principle of sound waves and electric currents as well as be- ing a visual method of studying ra- dar and television. to break into the acting field without this type of training. Miss Scott's immediate plans call for an appearance on the Betty Crocker TV show. She expressed her regret that the show is not on the Kansas City channel. Present day Westporters agreed that it wasn't difficult to picture to- day's star in her high school role of a few years ago, for her charming personality, and genuine friendliness made her seem to be just one of the Westport crowd.

Phyllis Rogers was quite surprised the other evening as she asked a waitress what kind of ice cream they had, and received the answer, Bean the waitress had thought Phyllis asked for soup flavors. All the friends of Myrna Sm-ith surely hate to see her move to North K. C. Loads of luck, Myrna!

School's still the same old drudgery and I'm still counting the days 'till graduation. Well, I finally learned some information about those two sen-iors you wanted to know about. They are the bashful type or at least they seem to be. Phyllis Rogers was first on your list, wasn't she? Well, let me tell you, she's a junior A-bomb. She's mad about TV, chocolate cream pie, French fried onion rings and pota- toes, boys, dancing and movies. Whew! I asked her what her favor- ites were in the musical department and 'it seems the No. 1 song is Black- smith Blues with any music by Bil- ly May's band and songs by Doris Day. Believe you me, she really gets around at school. She is Typical Girl on the Senior Ballot along with Max Moxley, who is Typical Boy fcoincidence, No?D. She's vice-presi- dent of Promethean, past president of Stage and Screen, a member of Speech Arts and the debate team. P. S. You'll also find her yelling her lungs out at any football or basket- ball game. And who else was it you were in- terested in? Oh, of course, Paul Mc- Williams. Well, he's certainly one of the cleverest, smartest guys in our class. He goes by the name of Mick- ica en,d Two Attend State Plan Study of Graduates Council Meeting Exchanging ideas on student gov- ernment proved enjoyable as well as informative for Marilyn Lindeman and Helen Ruf, delegates to the Mis- souri Association of Student Coun- cils held in St. Joseph, Missouri, re- cently. The school representatives from many Missouri towns and cities dis- cussed problems facing schools to- day. One of the highlights of the meetings was the banquet and dance held at the Hotel Roubidoux.

Her water color was ranked among the ten best by judges from the Art In- stitute. She received two passes to a current movie. doesn't it? Paul is an ordinary guy that goes all the way for football. He played guard and tackle on our varsity team. He's a member of the W Club, the honor society, the Spanish Club, and past president of Irving Literary Society. Paul isn't hard to please in the way of food. Everything but oysters and mush- rooms. Kay Starr is tops 'in his music world and dancing is a favorite pas- time. And can he ever do the Charleston! Mickey is planning on being an engineer and will attend K. U. next year. Well, now you know all about them. Aren't they wonder- ful? Don't forget to write me. To provide schools with useful in- formation, and to acquaint pupils with job opportunities available in this community, a Follow-Up Study of 1951 graduates is being made by the Department of Guidance and Counseling of Kansas City, Missouri, Public Schools. This is the first study of its kind ever made but it is hoped that it may become a yearly procedure. The schools participating are: Central, R. T. Coles, East, Lincoln, Manual, Northeast, Paseo, Southeast, South- west and Westport. Letters were mailed on March 15, to 2,498 graduates. No personal use will be made of the information re- ceived but such questions as, what are the graduates of the high school doing, what percentages go to col- lege, what jobs are available to young people in this community, how do young people find jobs and many others will be answered. - 1 For Smart Styles S.

The program, which was held at Southwest high school, was judged by Mr. Harold George of Shawnee-Mission and Mr. Huckstep of Raytown. 1 The piece played by the Westport band was the First Suite in Eb for Military Bandl' by Gustav Holst. This number consists of a Chaconne, an Intermezzo and a March. Mr. George complimented the work of the brass instruments 'in several passages, and said of the band as a whole, Your band has done a very creditable job. They are a nice ap- pear-ing group and follow your direc- tions well. Congratulations to you, Mr. Fike, and to the group. Mr. Huckstep complimented the wood- winds, especially the bassoon and oboe. He also said, This is a very difficult number. It was performed very well by this small band. The interpretation was good. list Musical Dates With commencement exercises as a climax, the music department has a full schedule ahead. The f-irst date is April 4, when the a cappella choir will sing at Lake Quivera, April 9, will find a full day for the Girls' Glee Club.

Bougher, custodian, to learn why workmen have been trudging through the halls carrying boards, ropes, sand, pipes and other building tools for the past month. Mr. Bougher patiently ex- plained that these men are not try- ing to further their learning, but are making some changes in the arrange- ment of our school building. A big surprise is in store for the girls in gym classes when they get their first glance at the new locker and shower room. A gang shower with ten showe'r heads replaces the old 'individual showers, enabling them to take faster showers. A flight of stairs now connects the shower room with the dressing room upstairs. One hun- dred fifty half lockers will be around the wall and six hundred fifty baskets will be down the center of the room, thus providing each girl taking gym with a basket, and a locker for every girl in each hour's class. When the project is completed, the gym classes will have a more convenient and modern place in which to dress. Another of the more important pro- jects is the enlarging of the boys' rest room on the second floor by combining it with the old bookroom. The bookroom has a more convenient location in a room made of the back porton of room 212. These main building repairs are expected to be completed by April 10. Mr. Bougher believes that the stage lighting will be under construc- tion by April 10. if OLLI' IQJLUQI' .Q Question! Question! who can an- swer this question?

Staging a demonstration for eighth grade common learnings class- es, these pupils gave a skit in the morning and afternoon classes and with the aid of chairmen Phyllis Rog- ers and Beverly Goodbrake, took the fascinated eighth graders through all the phases, methods and opportun- ities in a business education. Demonstrating the value of typing, Jean Timmons and Vera Saunders illustrated the Way a typist gains speed and how this skill aids her 'in obtaining a job. Following this, Shir- ley Miller, Joyce Gates, Jackie Shook and Shirley Story made bookkeeping appealing to the eighth graders by explaining that no math other than eighth grade arithmetic is necessary, and also by emphasizing the ease with which a person familiar with bookkeeping can figure income taxes. Going through the paces in the short- hand demonstration Were Jo Ellen Westring, Sandra Featherstone and Peggy Sappenfield who compared the speed of shorthand with longhand, while Donna Honn, Shirley Heer, Paula Sharp and Barbara Power told about office practice, a class for sen- iors in which the students get prac- tical experience.

If you have, and your name happens to be Naomi Guilford, Bob Gunter, Bill Abel, Loretta Gulaian, Nancy Yeager, Marilyn Lindeman, Bernard Benson, Jane Dickhut, or Judy Anthony, you will have a chance to find out. What is. the big occasion? Yes, it's High School City Hall Day which will be held April 17. Westport's representatives, along' with those from other Kansas City high schools, will be given a lunch- eon and will have a chance to ac- quaint themselves with the city gov- ernment by taking over the duties of city officials and meet-ing some of their problems on City Hall day. Naomi Guilford must have a bit of Sherlock Holmes in her-she holds the position of Police Commissioner. For an athletic boy like Bob Gunter the title of Super-intendent of Parks seems very fitting. Westport's champ orator, Bill Abel, will have a real chance to use his influence as a City Councilman. The methods of Water purification which Loretta Guilaian studied in chemistry will have a new meaning to her as she dons the title, Director of the Water Department. Nancy Yeager will be on the lookout for firebugs as Chief Inspector of Fire Prevention. Never at a loss for a Way to entertain a person, Marilyn Lindeman will fill the office of Sup- erintendent of Public Recreation well. Who knows, some day Bernard Ben- son might really be City Engineer since engineering is what he plans to major in at college. Her special in- terest in public relations will make the duties of Commissioner of Com- munity Service Division a real pleas- ure to Jane Dickhut. Judy Anthony's office promises to be interesting. She will be Chief of Rodent Control Sec- tion.

Easter-- 1,919 Years Ago Spring has sprung-the grass has riz-Well, what do you know, . . , here Easter is. Yes, the Easter bunny is no doubt already busily preparing for his early morning hop. As the days lengthen and the air grows warmer during the 40 days of this Lenten season, preparations are busily being made for the climax, Easter Sunday. Stores are a beehive of activity as people choose their out- fits for the Easter parade. Why all the excitement and celebration over one day, you ask. Let's take a look at the origin of Easter. . Nearly two thousand years ago, a man came to this earth, born to a humble carpenter's family. He never went to school, never traveled around the world, wrote a book, owned propetry, or had any great wealth. He never held a political office, founded an empire, never even commanded an army, yet His life has influenced millions of people. This man never harmed or hated anyone, but only did good to those with whom He came in contact. Time is dated from His birth. His life ended, however through a cruel cru- cifixion. Three days later, He arose from the grave, a victor over sin and death. Because Christ did rise from the dead, Easter is commemorated by all who recogn-ize its significance. Does The Shoe Fit? . REWARD-For any information leading to the whereabouts of a Bub- erdinkq A Buberdink is a neurotic pencil pusher or a would be artist that used his books for drawing paper. A Buberdink enjoys writing: Turn to page 140. On 140 it says Turn to page 38, and after a merry chase through the book it ends up with some bright remark such as Persistent aren't you? Things like, In case of flood stand on this, it's dry, and In case of fire throw this in first, are written on a Buberdink's books. Buberd-inks are very helpful and obliging by mark- ing the answers 'in their books. But it seems that the answers are always wrong, if you know what I mean. Just the opposite from Buberdink is a Knidrebub. CBuberdink spelled backwards! When he is reading he puts his pencil or pen away so he won't be tempted to mark on the book. When the teacher tells him to mark a question or a paragraph, he always remembers to erase the mark when he no longer needs it. A Knidrebub knows that even though it is his book, when he sells it no one else will want a book that he has marked. Take a look at your books. Are you a Buberdink or a Knidrebub?

If so, this ex- change column may be the answer to your problem. First of all, here are a few jokes you might find amusing: Teacher: You're the laziest student I have ever had. Aren't you quick at anything? Student: Yes sir, nobody can get tired as fast as I can. Freshman: This school must be haunted! Sophomore: What do you mean, haunted? Freshman: Well, they're always talking about school spirit. And now, for some of the many things that are going on around the other high schools. A mock election was held at South- west last February in which General Dwight D. Eisenhower was indicated the presidential choice with a ma- jority of 943 out of approximately 1600 votes cast. Northeast is looking forward to its annual Spring Concert to be held April 3. Both the band and orchestra will participate in presenting the pro- gram. The annual R. O. T. C. Cir- cus was held April 4 -in the arena of the Municipal Auditorium. Southeast's rifle team recently took a trip to Boonville, Missouri, where they participated in the Camp Perry rifle matches. Well, that's about all we have to offer you this time in the way of jokes and gossip but we'll be back with further developments so keep posted!

These are just a few of the many lines we frequently heard this week's typical teen repeating just before the fall play, Our Miss Brooks. From this hint, we can guess right away, it's none other than the jolly red-head, Shirley Bohi. BILL McCARTHY and SHIRLEY BOHI Other than participating in two school plays, Shirley has been past vice-president of Dana Literary So- ciety, sergeant-at-arms of the debate team, Browning Literary Society beauty queen, a member of Speech Arts and Spanish club and has par- ticipated in various assemblies. This 5'8 blue-eyed senior is cer- tainly no different from anyone else when she lists dancing to Stan Ken- ton's September Song and playing bridge as her favorite pastimes. After dancing to his music, she al- ways enjoys a skittle and root beer. Shirley originally hailed from Chica- go, Illinois,-June 21, 1934, to be exact, but has spent her past 11 years in Kansas City. After graduating in June, she plans to attend Central. Missouri State College where she will major in speech correction. Picture a quiet, secluded spot, YOU see someone in the shade of a big tree with a pad of paper and 21 DSU' cil in his hand. As we draw near, we recognize this week's teena 6'1V2 Bill McCarthy, spending his leisure time writing stories and poems. Then, too, you may find him on the golf course, or fishing or hitting a tennis ball against his garage door. From his list of pastimes, you know that he enjoys the out-of-doors. After that great day of April 24, 1934, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, Bill has traveled considerably. He spent his grade school days in Bartlesville, some of his high school days at Wy- andotte, then he journeyed to North Platte, Nebraska, and he is finally graduating from Westport. He enjoys fried chicken, mashed potatoes and strawberry shortcake. Bill agrees that The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Song of India is tops on his hit parade, but when asked about his favorite dance band, he laughed and said he didn't dance. Bill plans to attend Junior College next year and believes that he will complete his education at K-State. Certainly we shall always see both of our typical teens above all others even if it's only because of their height. STAMP COLLECTIONS Bought and Sold. I Prefer U. S., but what have you? T. G.

Dor- othy Carlson acted as student chair- man and after the pledge of alleg- iance turned the program over to Ed McDonald, president of the South- west student council, who acted as master of ceremonies. The program consisted of a variety program of singing, dancing and music.

PageS1x THE WESTPORT CRIER April10,l952 Senior Hi-Y Becomes Active Organization Just as the swallows come back to Capistrono the Senior Hi-Y came back to Westport after a one-year ab- sence. This high school branch of the YMCA in its essential genius, is a world-wide fellowship of men and boys united by common loyalty to Jesus Christ for the purpose of de- veloping Christian personality and building a Christian society. West- port needs this type of organization as much as any other high school. As the school year opened, the membership in the Hi-Y totaled ex- actly 0, but there are now 29 mem- bers and the membership is not l-im- ited. Dues of one dollar, voted by the members, enables each boy to attend all of the Hi-Y affairs. For the younger boys there are organiza- tions which have similar activities to the Senior Hi-Y. These include the Junior Hi-Y for the eighth grad- ers and the Freshman Hi-Y for the freshmen boys. Although the meeting places vary, the Senior Hi-Y meets every Mon- day evening at 7:30. The activities vary as much as the meeting places. The Hi-Y entered two teams in the city-wide basketball tournament. Both teams got to the semi-finals. Two representatives, Frank Hayden and Charles Allen, were sent to Jef- ferson C-ity to the Youth and Govern- ment convention. A Father and Son banquet is planned toward the end of the school year and at this time the members of the Freshman Hi-Y will be taken in as members of the Senior Hi-Y. A dance was given by the Hi-Y for the members and their dates. Not all of the Hi-Y's activities are social, to promote better relations among the different Kansas City high schools, the Hi-Y had a joint meeting with the Lincoln Hi-Y, and plans other such meetings. Mr. Fiske Miles, the faculty spon- sor of the club, and Mr. Harry Har- len, general secretary of the YMCA in the Westport district, work very closely with the boys to see that the purpose of the YMCA -is carried out. But, these two men cannot do it alone, every member must help and do his part. The membership list includes: John Wood, Eddie Barth, Fred Culver, Jim- mie Combs, Tom Pollock, Bob Blake- ly, Frank Hayden, Charles Maize, Paul McCreight, Bill Wykoff, Jim IVIoney For Odd Jobs To Used For World Service SATURDAY, APRIL 26, will find many Westport boys Working at all kinds of odd jobs One half the money earned by the Hi-Y members on this Workday. or HBACKACHE FOR BROTHERHOOD DAY, will he used to help people in the hot spots of the world, Korea Japan, and Germany.

Bill Ghean, 6' 7 senior, lists his advantages as: being able to see well at a parade, spotting someone in a crowd, and being a little closer to Heaven than most people.

Members of the newswriting class have been working since September to gather material and pictures for the various sections of the book and planning layout and division pages. Heading the staff, which was se- lectd on the basis of work done, is Edward Bowdon, who has earned the position of Editor-in-Chief.

The position of Assistant Editor has been assigned to Neita Frohmuth, who has written the forward for the yearbook. Juanita Fields, Literary Editor, is responsible for the pictures and activities in the senior section. The job of keeping the account books up to date falls on the shoul- ders of Marjorie Knop, the Business Manager, who also solicited ads along with Mary Jane McMahon, the Advertising Manager. Feature Editors Lorraine Savella and Herbert Simon have written most of the reading matter for the book. All of the many activity pictures in the yearbook were taken during the year by Janet Stower and Jerry Shapiro, photographers. The other members of the staff are Betty Stickney, circulation managerg Donna Wasson, club editor: Helyn Cassidy and Beverly Mason, staff typistsg and Jane Carmichael, staff member. Farewell to you dear seniors who Have studied long and well, The arts and sciences and how To read and write and spell.

And so farewell dear seniors as Your footsteps echo down the hall. May all your days be happy and God Bless You-one and all. BULLETIN Dick Waddell, senior, won one of the thirteen college scholarships al- located to the Kansas City museum for winners in the scholarship sec- tion of the senior division in the Sci- ence Fair, April 19-25. Dick's project, The Buoyancy of Water on Submerged Objects, was done under the direction of Mr. D. H. Miner, physics instructor. Dick also won a trip to the Spencer Chemical Company, Pittsburg, Kansas. Kenneth Turley, senior, is the sec- ond boy to earn the Scout foundry practice merit badge in Mr. Wiley Poleson's five years as metals in- structor at Westport. This badge, stated Mr. Poleson, is difficult to earn and has a good many parts. Very few Scouts ever earn it. In earning this badge, Kenneth has used the foundry in several pro- jects. The foundry is used for the shaping of metal by pouring while molten into a sand mold made by ramming sand around a wooden pat- tern. Other activities connected with the badge included drawing plans for a mold and learning everything pos- sible about the use of the foundry. Win Essay Awards Westport pupils of the English de- partment have won three third place awards in essay contests this year. Bill Howard and Loretta Gulaian, seniors, placed 'in the Sons of the Revolution contest and the Ameri- can Legion Auxiliary contest, re- spectively. Marguerite Hayden, fresh- man, placed in the Jackson County Council of Veterans of Foreign Wars.

These words typify the sentiments of many of those connected with West- port's forthcoming talent show, to be given at 8 o'clock tomorrow evening in the Junior College auditorium. Included 'in the show are acts of every variety and acccording to Mr. E. J. King, who 'is in charge of the production, many extremely unusual performances will highlight West- port's second all-school production of the year. Peering behind scenes, one can get a lineup of Westport's talent which includes The Bottle Boys, the Girls' Sextette, a tumbling act, and these performers: Tom Lyons, Sandra Rey- nolds, Georgianna Shaw, Fayth Ann Most, Helen Ruf, Hazel Case, Charles Scott, Bob Hooley, Shirley Parsons, Katie Wright, Mary Jacoby, Kent Huckstep, Barbara Grosse, Bill Mis- er, Mary Scott, Ginger Ebert, Sally Lindeman, Vivian Philgren, Connie Tatum, Jackie Shook, Mary Adkins, Pat Pryor, and Erma Larrick. There is no limit to Westport's talent, and on review will be acro- batic acts, dance novelties, vocal and instrumental numbers, and many unusual acts which will make for a fun-filled evening of entertainment. To commemorate the fiftieth anni- versary of his first Westport experi- ence, Mr. John L. Shouse, former principal, returned to spend the day, April 16, at school. After classes, present and former teachers and many friends attended a tea held in his honor. Mr. Shouse first came to Westport as a teacher of English and history. He later served as vice-principal and was promoted to the position of as- sistant superintendent of the Kansas City schools. FOR SALE WINTER TUXEDO with Two Coats Cwhite and blackb Call MRS.

These two seniors have served as leaders of their class, both scholastically and socially. To prove this last remark, I suggest that you turn to their names in the senior section of '52 HERALD to see their numerous honors and activities. Karyl is a normal teen-ager. She was born in Elkhart, Kansas, April 28, 1934. When asked where this mighty metropolis was, Karyn bril- liantly replied, I really couldn't say, because I've never been there. Just as the other typicals, Karyl has her favorites. She adores her mother's banana cream pie, Spike Jones' records, music, tennis, choco- late sodas, and laughing at Jimmy Toevs' jokes Cwhether they are fun- ny or notb. Karyl's plans include at- teding either K. U. or William Jewell next fall as a music major. Karyl's beautiful soprano voice has been heard in many a club meeting, as- sembly, and show. Another musically-minded, out- standing senior is Tom Lyons. Tom has often held the undivided atten- tion of an audience as he has sung and accompanied himself on the pi- ano. He recently held a solo spot in the spring music festival, and in the exchange talent assembly with South- west high school His dramatic abil- ity was well demonstrated as he tied for first place in the oration contest. As all this indicates, Tom's future lies in the field of music. He hopes to begin his training at Northwestern university next fall. When asked what they would re- member in their years at Westport Tom and Karyl agreed that their friendships would mean much through the years-and you know. perhaps that's why they are our TYPICAL TEENS! -Eithlegs ASTAUR GULAIAN s. soN 1 Rue co. 3916-18 Broadway VA. 8450 HERE'S ADVENTURE o ADeluxe Summer Vacation Bo sl : Greatest and Newest in Boys Camps Exploring the Trails of the Golden West Visit l4 States, ll Great National Parks o WESTERN TRAILS BOYS CAMP July 7 to August 9, 1952 Age limit: l3 to l7, inclusive RUSSELL L.

May1,1952 THE W Es'rPoRT CRIER pageseven 1951 Seniors Answer Questionnaires What are you doing at the present time? What high school subjects or activities have you found most help- ful 'in your present job? What courses do you wish you had taken? These questions brought a stream of differ- ent answers to the office of Miss Ola V. Galatas, counselor, in reply to a questionnaire which was sent to the 1951 Westport graduates. Of the 238 forms sent, 150 have been returned to date, and the following statistics have been compiled. The answers shows that 3927 of last year's senior boys and 14072, of the girls are marriedg 332, of the boys and 51'Zs of the girls are workingg 3305 of the boys and girls are in schoolg and 13fZ, of the boys are in the service of Uncle Sam. In reply to the question as to their most useful subjects, the working group of fellows voted for English, mathematics, and science, while the girls felt that English, stenography and typing had helped them most. Asked the same question, college students replied that their most help- ful subjects had proved to be science, English, mathematics, and social sci- ence. Reversing the procedure, the office asked the graduates which subjects they had failed to take in high school did they wish they had included. Replies to this ranked English, math- ematics, language and science in that order for the collegian, while the em- ployed listed the commercial subjects first with language and science close behind. An over-all picture of colleges shows that while Junior College has the most '51 Westporters enrolled, other colleges with four or more grad- uates include Kansas University, Kansas City University, Missouri University and Wm. Jewell College. f PAUL'S ssnvlcla 6700 Prospect JA. 9795 I' Y-DRIVE-IN 1411 Swope Pkwy.

The general expla- nation for their presence, is the fact that Westport's high ranking news- writing seniors have been initiated 'into the high school journalists' hon- orary society, Quill and Scroll. Membership for this club means that a person 'in the Westport chap- ter must have 50 or more inches of his material printed in the Crier, he must be in the upper third of his class, be approved by the adviser, and have an outstanding record in some phase of journalistic work. Westporters who have joined the ranks of Quill and Scroll, are: Juan- ita Fields, Neita Frohmuth, Loretta Gulaian, Edward Bowdon, Herbert Simon, Marjorie Knop, Helen Fergu- son, Jerry Shapiro, Beverly Mason, Betty Stickney, Helyn Cassidy, Lor- raine Savella, Janet Stower and Don- na Wasson.
