Let us recall a few of these events in the following para- graphs. Rememher when Ben Peterson was elected president ol the eighth grade class of 1950, and how little daclr Little called a square dance in the auditorium? While the world in- side Westport was happy enough. the international spotlight shined its deathly heam on the looming crisis in Korea. ln Septemloer ol 1951, a lile as an important Freshman was accepted as we were rushed hy the literary socie- ties, attended the hig dances, and shared in the joy ol winning the ln- terscholastic Baslrelhall, Champion- ship. Florence Snidow hegan her long-term contract as our class presi- dent. Finally sophomores, we shared equally the responsihility ot Tiger Den support, and enjoyed Our Miss Broolrsu, and the Talent Show. Miss Dorothy Hilhert joined the lacully and promptly tools a warm place in the students' hearts. f f .tr .aww r 'a ' tf ni As Juniors, we planned and at- tended our first Prom. The presi- dential election was naturally the higgest event ol the year, and West- port's straw hat hallot proved every- one Hlilced llref' Hsnidow Wins Fourth Term read the Crier headlines, and classmates cheered as she was carried down the hall. Westports great haslrethall team arrived lrom Cape Girardeau with the third place trophy ol .the state tournament. The linale oi our lour years at Westport included Senior Day, and the hig Junior- Senior Prom. As we prepare to depart to the strains ol pomp and Circum- siancefv we turn lor a fleeting glance down these halls where many joyous moments have heen spent. Though we may leave in hody, our spirits and hearts linger on lorever in The Halls ol Westport. ,fi B S , JOE :EARNEST ADAMS, SHIRLEY JUNE Pep Club.

School Spirit in the Limelight Do you jump up and down and cry for joy when you see your team score a touchdown? Will you get up a few minutes early to attend the pep assembly, to help your cheerleaders practice for the night's game? Do you help make Tiger Den the success that it is? When you sing the Alma Mater do you know the true meaning of the words? These things and many more help to make up Westpott's school spirit. Loyalty in supporting everything from clubs, athletic events, instrumental and vocal musical groups to everyday class room procedure makes everyone feel a part of Westport. It won't belong before the sub-freshmen get into the swing of this school spirit and feel as much at home as the seniors do. With all these activities to participate in, all students should have the feeling of belonging to Westport. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE October 8 .... ..... C entrol vs. Westport October 16 .... ........

P oseo vs. Westport Kansas City in October October is a gorgeous month, a time of beauty nad action, and for most of us a happy time of peace and contentment while the world seeks desperately for a foothold on a shaky foundation of peace. Here in Kansas City the glories of autumn remind us that nautre is generous in her gifts and our enemies are out fears. October brings to us here for a little while some of those things which makeup a peaceful world, among which are the vibrant, vivid greens, browns, and deep golds of the trees which present a picture of breath-taking beauty to all eyes that care to see it. This is the season for football games and sloppy jeans, for walks through the park, and falling leaves, for pumpkins and black cats, a time for the little things to be the glad things of the earth. October in Kansas City means a time of beauty has come to our home so enjoy it while you may, for it, like most things, is soon gone without a backward glance.-Westport Crier, 1948.

More emphasis will be placed on the study of modern foreign languages. Professors with international back- ground are being employed. Foreign students, studying on this campus for four years, will be learning the American way rirst hand, but will be contributing much to American girls at the same time. This and other fine college oppor- tunities await the students who really want to ind out by inquiring. See the Counselor for particulars. New Counseling Secretary Mrs. james D. Ludwig has been em- ployed as secretary to help Miss Galatas in Westport's counseling department.

One of Kansas City's favorite en- tertainers before becoming a televis- ion and concert favorite, Liberace is famous for his charming, continental manner as well as his impressive piano stylings, not to mention his easy de- livery of a song, a feature he began about four years ago. Although CRIER representatives were unable to interview the artist himself, Mr. Seymour Heller, his man- ager, graciously provided the inter- viewers with some interesting side- lights to Liberace's personality. Backed by an orchestral group from his television show under the direction of his brother George, Liberace finds touring extremely tiring. He manages to follow his own motto of Enjoy your playing with results very pleas- ing to his hearers. He enjoys swimming, but cannot indulge in more strenuous sports be- cause of danger of injury to his hands. Warsaw C o n c e r t o, September Song, and Piano Role Blues rank as personal favorites in the classic, ballad, and jazz categories respectively. Observing fans may have wondered about the candelabra adorning his pi- ano at every appearance. It is a good luck piece, now wired for electricity, and goes wherever Liberace plays. Concerning the future, he has ten- tative plans for movies-good news to his many fans.

C., and its area last spring dur- ing the week following the close of school. Included in the group were Barbara Bigler and Barbara L. Borg, graduates of Westport High School. The group left Kansas City on Mon- day morning, june 8, and returned the following Saturday night, tired, but able to carry their souvenirs, rolls of exposed film, and tell of a most happy week. The tour included three days in Washington to visit the White House, Capitol, FBI, and other important gov- ernment buildings, art galleries, mu- seums, monuments, and Mt. Vernon. The group traveled by river steamer overnight to Norfolk, Virginia, where they boarded a sightseeing bus that took them to Jamestown, Williams- burg, and Yorktown. Everyone mar- veled at the quietness and beauty of Jamestown, and at the restoration of Williamsburg, the old capital city of Virginia. The overnight return trip was equally as pleasant as the first for the steamer provided entertainment and delicious food. Sight-seeing, eating, picture taking, and traveling hlled every minute of the tour. The last night in Washington let the group attend a night club where the Billy Williams' quartet was fea- tured. About half remained for the second show and dance, and others walked to the Washington Monument to view the city by night from the top of the monument. Especially did the group enjoy the steamer, the appetizing food, seeing places and people known throughout America, and traveling in air-conditioned comfort. The group was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. A. K. Longfellow of North- east High chool, Mr. joseph G. Bryan, Director of Secondary Education, and Mr. Don Walker, railroad traffic pas- senger agent. Seniors of the class of '54 will have Westport Grad Plays At Aspen Festival Stanley Hoffman, class of '46, was one of the featured violin soloists at the Aspen Festival of Music in Colo- rado this summer. Miss Marie Youngs, Westport English teacher, was present at this particular concert and spoke of Hoffman as playing with intelli- gence, feeling, and finish. After Westport, he graduated from the Juilliard School of Music in New York, and for the last few years has been studying at Tanglewood, Massa- chusetts. Hoffman is to play this Year with the National Symphony Orches- tra in Washington, D. C. Although Miss Youngs greatly en- joyed her extensive trip through Colo- rado, she said this concert was the real highlight of her summer. Navy Oilers Opportunities The Navy again this year is offer- ing over two thousand four-year scholarships in its Naval Reserve Olii- cer Training Corps program. The scholarships are open to high school students who will graduate by the end of the current academic year. The Navy pays the cost of tuition, books, and laboratory fees, and in ad- dition a50 per month to assist in de- fraying the cost of room and board. Interested students must make ap- plication for the Navy College Apti- tude test prior to November 21, 1955, in order to be eligible to take the test on December 12, 1955. Senior boys should see the school counselor for ap- plications. Th se onthe t rd II hop at South id Big Plans lor the Choir In the spring of 1934, twenty-four Westport students banded together to form the Westport A Cappella Choir. Today, twenty years later, the Choir is still an important part of Westport life and has a total membership of sixty. A Cappella is planning a busy and varied schedule for this their twentieth year. Their repertoire will consist of forty songs, two favorite pieces from each of the twenty choirs which have preceded them. Many specialties are being planned, such as boys' chorus, girls' chorus, a trio, sextette, boys' quartet and many others. Their busy schedule will include some fifteen to twenty programs, among which will be the annual Christmas and Easter assemblies, Spring Concert, and the Harvest Festival which will consist of well-known folk songs. Westport is especially fortunate to have had for these twenty years as her choir director, Mr. Harling A. Spring. Mr. Spring has degrees from Denison University, Northwestern University, Kansas City University, and was the director of the All-State High School Chorus at the University of Missouri last summer. Mrs. Spring, who acts as accompanist for the Choir, has degrees in music from Northwes- tern University and was, at one time, the music director for Shawnee-Mis- sion High School. ' Through the years the A Cappella Choir has attempted to establish a tradition of fine performances that brings honor to Westport and it is con- fidently expected that this, The Twen- tieth Anniversary Choir will fully up- hold this tradition.

Staff Stuff Strange things' are happening is now the theme of the Crier staff. A session after school with the staff ex- plains this choice. Suzanne Adkins sits calmly un- gluing her fingers from each other, while Chuck Krause looks madly for the ready-to-print copy and finally finds it glued to a chair. Gary Perry rushes into the Crier Office yelling, Stop the presses! I've got a scoop! We later discover this is just to give atmosphere. Six or eight neighborhood kiddies bang on the windows and make feces at Mr. G. who is giving orders to everyone in sight and handing out make-up work to freshmen English students. Sue Downer looks over the loads of negatives and Hnally selects a blank for the front page feature. It is called, White Goose in a Snow Storm. Mary jo Hodges flourishes drawing pencils and rulers making last minute preparations for advertising and June McQuitty bangs furiously on the typewriter trying to get the copy in readable condition. Then with a few final snips of the scissors and a daub of glue, the dummy is ready to go. A hush settles over room four. All is silent. We've put the paper to bed.

Several agen- cies working under this heading will provide money enabling a student to go on to college or a state school, and help place him in suitable worls after college graduation. In previous years, several Westport students have received sufiicient asa sistance to complete education in their own personally chosen fields. Pupils interested should see Miss Burke, in the health center, for further informa- tion. Westporfs Royalettes Three Westport girls have been chosen to perform in tie American Royal activities, October I6-25. Barham Courtney and Donna Page, juniors, were two of fifty girls chosen to act as Boyalettes and pages, while eiglith-grader Margie .Matchett rode for Benjamin Stables in the parade. The Royalettes, high school girls of Greater Kansas City, will appear in The first Tiger Den of the year was a hang-up success with a record attendance of 521 persons. Dancing to Ray CarI's eight-piece band, in its second year of giving us top notch entertainment, playing chal- lenging ping-pong games, and just gabbing with new friends and old were among the features. Adding to the gaiety was Peggy Wathen's song and dance imitation of Iiartha Kitt, recording star. The Bunny-Hop prob- ably received as much attention from those in the boys' gym below as from the dancers overhead. Tiger Den success is assured this year with its sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Bute, and the Tiger Den Committee at its best, presenting new and dilier- ent Tiger Dens, including: Dixieland, HaIIowe'en Masquerade, and a foot- ball Tiger Den.

Harry Iames Interviewed The band and I always enjoy play- ing in Kansas City, said I-larry james, prominent band leader, in an exclusive interview with Crier reporters. The past summer the band has been playing in principal cities throughout the nation. It has played twice in Kan- sas City in the past nine weeks. Harry ,james travels with his full, twenty-piece band which was organ- ized in I939. Most of the band mem- bers have been with the group seven or eight years. Two members of the band are es- pecially well-known: Miss April Ames, vocalist, and Buddy Rich, drummer. Rich was on hand for the interview. Harry ,james has announced that his next record release will be Sorrento. NOTICE Mr. james D. H. Reefer, Chief Pros bation Ofiieer of the Kansas City ,Iu- venile Court will address the Westport P,T.A, on October 27, 1953. The meeting begins at 7:45 p.m. TRIBUTE TO A TEACHER Sedate, poised, calmly assured .... These terms aptly describe a wonderful lady whose presence once graced the halls and classrooms of Westportg Miss Anna K. Lash. Miss Lash is taking a well deserved vacation from teaching, and we want her to know she is remembered and missed. So often we take our friends for granted. 'Their concern for our welfare comes to be expected. After all, isn't that their job? Your interest in us was more than a job, Miss Lash. We believe your inspira- tion came from The Great Teacher. When you received your call to teach, you must also have received the promise: I will put my own spirit within you, l will make you live by my laws, and you shall obey and observe my ordersg lEzekiel 36:27 Moiiatl for your example among us has been of such a spirit. The radiance of your life has taught us and is teaching us still of lessons that cannot be learned from books. As the Editor Sees It There is definitely a very diiiieult problem confronting the citizens of Kan- sas City. It is the problem of a boy and his hot rod .... what can be done about them? There are several courses of action. First, do nothing about this problem. At the present time, there is little or no action taking place to improve this perilous situation. Second, the police force can wage all out war against hot rodders. This has been tried in the past, and in many cases police vehicles have not been able to compete with the high rate of speed attained by the souped up cars. Last of all, there is the plausible way to deal with the problem . . . super- vision. The city or a civic organization could set ,aside a tract of land to be used for racing supervised by the police department. This method has been tried with huge success on the west coast and even as near as Topeka. 9 Until something is done, all citizens should co-operate with the police force in order to decrease the accidents caused by hot rodders racing through the city streets endangering the lives of men, women, and children.

Lillie We've got the pep, the steam, and a wonderful team, illustrates our two personalities in the spotlight this week. Florence Snidow, who is the pep and steam of this twosome, is one of West- ports most active seniors. Aside from her cheer-leading, she has been pres- ident of her freshman, sophomore, and junior classes. At present, she is pres- ident of the All City junior Red Cross Council, a member of Speech Arts, Honor Society, Executive Board of the Student Council, and has been sec- retary of Promethean Literary Society. Florence finds plenty of time for sewing, which is her hobby and eating French fried shrimp. K.U. is the school of her choice after graduation, where she plans to train to be a dental hygienist. jack Little, representing the team in our introduction, is a letterman in both football and basketball.

Westport's interest in the science of pre-flight has increased greatly in the past few years. The class offers an abundance of reliable information on aeronautics along with fascinating ex- tra-curricular activities. Some of the students in this year's class took a short flying lesson at Air- way Flight Serviee. Each student handled the controls for five minutes in which they landed and made a take- off with the instructor's help. Each flight lasted about forty-five minutes, three students up ata time. How fast does a parachute jumper fall? How hard docs he hit when he reaches terra firma? The answers to these and many other interesting ques- tions were given by Sgt. Bob Mont- gomery, a Westport graduate, as he conducted the class on a tour of the Naval Base. Some of the highlights of the tour were observations of signalled take- offs, radar trucks, the weather depart- ment, the care and use of parachutes, and the Naval School. Members of the class participating in these activities included: Ben Peter- son, jim Maret, Tom Pollock, Fred Sindt, Robert Benton, john Benson, Marlin Harmony, Mopsy Hall, Nancy jo Delap, Rudy Hammon, Dean Perry, john Wood, Carl Hadley, Don Wilson, Lludy Riley, Myrna Goodman, Carol White, Joe Balls, Duane O'Dell, Noel johnson, and Dale Hoffman.

And so the dignified teacher walked across the room and sat down. Now, Lucretia, said Mr. Miles, what can I do for you? Oh, nothing, sir, said Lucretia, you just sat on my lunch. At 2:22 Martha Palmgrcn came staggering down the hall with eyes half shut. She was mumbling something about those early morning band prac- CICGS.

Every year delegations from schools throughout the area tour the museum to see the objects rich in historical value and interest. Among the displays is a group of Early American rooms furnished in colonial style. The building itself with its lovely grounds is among Kan- sas City's most beautiful sights. An attraction to many students is the excellent films shown each Friday night and Sunday afternoon at the gallery. No admission is charged for these full length films. Saturday art classes provide instruc- tion for students from kindergarten through high-school age. December ll, the Nelson Gallery and Atkins Museum will hold a twen- tieth anniversary celebration. A comic opera, The Secret of Suzanne, will be presented by a drama group from the University of Kansas. New Kiln Purchased A new kiln has been added to the equipment of the art department it was announced by Miss Beck, zll't in- structor. The new kiln, now in room 105, will make it possible for Westport art students to do complete ceramic work. ln previous years, students were lim- ited to modeling and sanding clay pieces, after which the pieces were tak- en to the Kansas City Art Institute to be glazed and Bred by Art Institute pupils. With the addition of the kiln, stu- dents are able to glaze and fire their own ceramic work and perhaps try to do enamel or jewelry handwork. To make knowledge valuable, you must have the cheerfulness of wisdom. --Emerson MUSIC MART CAMERA CENTER Cameras Iqulpment 3 Supplies Open every eve tll 9 3933 Main .IE 5555 OCTOBER 22, 1953 lazzbo lo Sez: Hi!

Ronnie T Homes, sub-freshman School spirit is the feeling you have for your school, and the willing- ness to do your part in the classroom as well as supporting clubs and the team. Jerrsnv Srretuon, freshman P School spirit is the enthusiasm the student shows by keeping up the standard of his school and improving it if he can. This is shown by the turnout at athletic events, Tiger Den, and concern inschool affairs. JO!-IN Wrrrsnr, sophomore School spirit is more than just at- tending school activities-it is ac- tively participating in them.

The bunny hop was the big attrac- tion at the Tiger Den assembly on September 21st. Earthy Kitt was the mystery personality, and made her appearance draped in a black sheet. Peggy Wathen appeared representing Tiger Den's Dixieland Night at which the Southland will be the theme. The assembly was planned by Judy Anthony and John Foreman who are co-chairmen of the committee. Tiger Den passes went on sale directly after the close of the assembly. Immediately following the Tiger Den assembly, the Carter-Herald staff presented a short assembly which fea- tured such dignitaries as: Dean Mar- tin and Jerry Lewis, Squaw Sitting Pretty, Anna Pavlova Nijinskyvich, Coach Poppy Waldorf, and Jack Webb of Fishnet, The faculty adviser of the Crier-Herald, closed the assembly with a brief announcement. Crier- Hrralrl pledges were signed on Tues- day and subscriptions are now on sale. The annual football assembly was presented on Monday, September 28. Mr. Bourrette presented his varsity team and gave tickets to the South- west-Westport game to students who were able to answer questions per- taining to football. The cheerleaders were introduced and led the student body in the Loyalty Song. The guest speaker, Mr. Tom Collins, was en- thusiastically received. Mr. Collins is director of Public Relations for City National Bank and Trust Company and a well-known lecturer. The G. E. House of Magic, asci- entific display, was presented in an informative and entertaining assembly Wednesday morning, September 30. Bill Whitmore and Dick Bogue, G. E. representatives, performed sev- eral experiments illustrating use of modern materials and knowledge that have bettered our living. An impressive small-scale example of jet power was shown when a model jet engine mounted on a mobile frame was started, and with a deafening roar rolled slowly across the stage. Demon- strations and explanations of such complx subjects as stroboscopic light and photo-electric eyes were other fea- tures of this assembly.

Doug Sater, Tiger halfback, scored all 13 points. Sater crashed over tackle for the first 6 points and later returned a 4th down punt 55 yards for a touch- down. The last quarter proved unlucky for Westport. On an end run Jack Little, quarterback, was hit hard and on fall- ing broke his wrist. He was taken to St. Luke's hospital where his wrist was set. The quarterback will probably be out for the rest of the season. Tigers Bow to Indians The Southwest Indians foiled West- port's winning streak by scoring the hrst and fatal touchdown of the sea- son against the Tigers. Southwest scored in the second quarter on a pass. This made the score at the half, 7-0. The Tigers threatened several times but six fumbles stopped the drives. Westport stopped the In- dians for very little yardage on the ground. The Tigers defense proved too rough for Southwest with Jack Ross, Dave Monson, and John Holland holding the center of line and jim Mares, Don Ross, and Doug Sater backing the line. :ii For all your days prepare, And meet them ever alike: When you are the anvil, bear- When you are the hammer, strike. -Edwin Marlebnrrr Barbecue g IBE 39th St Party pause 8 a l -. ,,..,,. ...-..l Dong Safer picks up ynrrlage at the Westport-Cerrrral genre.

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI November 9, 1953 Dedicate Battle Monument This is the site of the decisive en- gagement in the battle of Westport. October 23, 1864. This is the in- scription on the red granite monu- ment dedicated on October 23, by Mayor William Kemp at Loose Park. Bishop Edward R. Wells of the Epis- copal Diocese of Western Missouri gave the invocation. Dean Wood, chairman of the Native Sons of Kan- sas City, then presented Mayor Kemp who dedicated the monument. Mayor Kemp gave a brief outline of this battle, fought on the land which is now Loose Park, that has been named the Gettysburg of the West. This de- cisive engagement marked the last battle between Confederate and Union Soldiers on Missouri soil. The mayor quoted a poem written by Claire Townsend in October of 1924 about The Blue and the Gray. The memorial was Hrst started by R. A. Long when he called a meeting of many prominent businessmen of Kansas City and there he contributed a check for s100,000 which started the fund. The rest of the money, about three million dollars, was contributed by other citizens of Kansas City in- cluding school children. Although the memorial has a very expensive up-keep, such as the 310,000 spent this summer to repair its foun- dation, many agree it is one of Kan- sas City's great symbols of patriotism. The ceremony ended with the rec- ognition of many civic leaders who are responsible for the erection of this historical monument. College Day Set For Go to college because personally l wouldn't have missed it for the world. Some of my dearest friendships were formed there and I wouldn't give the world for one of those friendships to- day, is the opinion of Miss Ola V. Galatas, Westport counselor. When entering college one enters the world of adulthood and has to make his own decisions. The college student must learn to put first things first. Learning to budget his time as well as his money is important because one no longer has parents around to guide him. December I0 Choosing friends is important, for the friendships formed at college are lifelong. At college it becomes our and we rather than mine and my . Coming in contact with outstand- ing personalities that have already made their mark is an important in- fluence in one's college life. So that Westport students will have an opportunity to learn more about life on the campus of the college or university they plan to attend, West- port has College Day which this year will beheld on December 10. ftfmeteeee dere doe Weed November 8-15 Tips For Teens You who are just beginning your teens have an edge in having seven full years ahead of you to date, ro learn, to play, and to grow into the person you want to be, says Ruth lmler, Sub-Deb Editor of the Ladies Home j orrrutrl. When it's time to date, says Ruth, a girl can encourage a shy guy by asking him to a party, petitioning his aid on homework, and various other things. For better studying here are a couple of tricks: sit in a straight-baclted chair, and tackle the hard assignments first. Now is the time for all good women to . . . take an active part in school activities. Extra-curricular sometimes count as heavily as good grades in a graduates favor. Growing up takes time, Ruth concludes, but you can help the process along yourself by realizing that responsibility and good judgment are the marks of adulthood. it takes good citizens to make a good community. This fall every good citizen in Kansas City has a chance to make his city better when he gives his fair share to the United Funds. Your support will affirm your belief in YOUR city. Your gift will make a better community. Remember, no other gift does so much for so many!

Westport Fills Red Cross Boxes There is not another school in the Kansas City school system that is more generous than Westport. This is a statement made by Miss Brubaker as she checked over the sixty-five boxes turned in by forty home rooms. These boxes are filled for a boy or girl and are a part of the 2,000 boxes sent all over the world by the Kansas City junior Red Cross. Miss Durboraw's classes made var- ious items such as pencil bags, jewel cases, and needle or pin cases for the gift boxes. Miss Brubaker, sponsor of the West- port junior Red Cross Chapter, has again guided the representatives of the home rooms in a successful showing for this school. At a recent meeting of the All City junior Red Cross Council, Westport was represented by Florence Snidow, president of the Council, Nancy Phil- green, Alice South, Mike jones, Elaine I-lodges, Lucretia Gable, Mary Chris Toevs, Larry Goetz, and Suzanne Adkins. THE WESTPORT CRIER WESTPORT Wdoit W o J nil y Anthony and Bill Wyckoff Lights! Action! Camera! into the range of the camera lens step our two favorites for this issue, Judy Anthony and Bill Wyckoff. Born in Kansas City, Kansas on July 14, 1936, Judy Anthony stands a neat 5 ft. 3 in. ina pert 109 pound package.

This handsome fella is an active member of the W Club, Wilson Lit- erary Society, and Hi-Y. Since Bill had rheumatic fever during the summer, it prevented him from playing football this year, but he did letter last year. Bill lists ping pong and playing horse with Mike Jones while lis- tening to Eddie Arnold records as be- ing a very worthwhile way to spend his time. After graduation Bill plans to go to M.U. and major in engineering. With their winning ways and many activities, these two seniors have made a fine place for themselves in the halls of Westport. Seven Bands Participate In Band Night Drum majors, majorettes, and band members from seven high schools participated in the third Band Night at Blue's Stadium, Friday, October 23, 1953. To the rhythm of Northeast's drum cadence, the seven bands marched onto the field between games, and after several maneuvers formed letters spell- ing the words Hi Ya Pans, Hi Ya Grads, and football. During the first game between Paseo and Northeast they played sev- eral marches in the stands as a mass band.

As he prowls around he keeps his ears and eyes open for any news that has been missed. Here are some of the things hc heard and saw: As Wesger glanced at Mary jo Hodges he turned and ran muttering When did this Ubangi enter the halls of Westport? Running. to hide from Mary jo he bumped into Caveman Fred Sindt who was telling his friends how much fun it was cragging Cavewoman Mary Bess Chaney around at Tiger Den. While Wesger was hiding from the ghosts and goblins at Westport he went to several movies and as the plots unfolded before his eyes he thought of these people and things around ye old Westport.

A sweat-shirt and a pair of jeans, Who doesn't exist on ham and beans, One that wears his shirt tail in, And doesn't wear a stupid grin. One with manners, one with charm, That actually offers me his arm, One with poise and intelligence Whose shirts don't have a dozen rents. One who isn't quite so dumb. One who isn't quite all thumbs. One who doesn't carry frogs, Tease girls and eat like hogs. Has some culture, has seine sense, Owns his suit and never rents, But boys are loved by fools like mc, For who on earth could love a tree. Sea-Maid, Cavemen and Hillbilly Win Contest Perhaps it was because it was the week before Halloween: or maybe be- cause the weather had suddenly turned cold that brought witches, black cats, and goblins on the prowl to Westport's gym Saturday evening, October 24. The ceiling and walls were deco- rated with orange and black crepe paper to create the holiday atmosphere. Prizes were awarded for the best costumes. Kay Newman, as the Sea Goddess, won for the girls and jim Johnson, as a hillbilly, won for the boys. A prize was also given for the cutest couple, Fred Sindt and Mary Bess Chaney, as cave man and woman. Ray Carl, a graduate of Westport in 1953, and his eight piece band added to the atmosphere of the Hal- loween season.

Oveta Culp Hobby Dedicates Psychiatric Center Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, dedicated Kansas City's new Psychiat- ric Receiving Center in a stirring ceremony with a crowd of about S00 people, on October 16, 1951. The tl1,200,000 municipal center is expected to be ready for patients by llanuary. The purpose of this center is to operate facilities for the care and treatment of persons atllicted by mental disorders and to conduct re- search into the cause, treitment, and prevention of emotional disorders. Mrs. Hobby said half the country's mental hospitals are overcrowded by as much as Z0 per cent. The average mental hospital has less than half as Iillllify doctors and only a fourth as many nurses as it needs. ulyhis. Secretary expressed the hope that other American communities would take note of what Kansas City has done to provide treatment for the mentally ill. Ground for the building was brolten in May, 1952. The construction has been financed by a city bond issue of 116,000,000 voted for this purpose and an equal amount made available by the U. S. Public lieilth Service. The new building is a 3-story struc- ture at Twenty-second and McCou streets. It will have oliiccs and facili- ties for out patients on the hrst floor, and a hospital for women on the third floor. The dedication of this building in- augurates a new and promising phase in the development of a modern pro- gram of mental care, an experimental program watched with interest by cities throughout the country.

The highlights of the game were the three quick-as-flash touchdowns the Tigers sprang on the Bears in the third period. Westport took the initiative early in the first quarter by driving 54 yards in seven plays to take the lead 7-0. Don Ross scored from the three while Doug Sater made the conversion. East came back in the second period, when after a tiring 65 yard march they scored T. T. Little on a pass from john T assi to make the score 7-6. East's conversion failed. The Tiger tally came late in' the second period when end Stewart Hoch pulled Ross' pass out of the blue and galloped over for the TD, making the score 14-6 at the half. The first of three third period tallies was scored by Don Ross when East's panting attempt was blocked. Three plays later, Tiger tackle, Amber Pifer snatched an East fumble on the 20 yard marker and ran across. The final third period score was a result of a pass interception by jim Maret, West- port guard. Sater pitched to Ross for the goal. ln the fourth quarter, Big Benny Disselhoff, 280 pound tackle, recov- ered another East fumble. Darrell Lathrom, halfback, tossed to Sater for the TD. Because of the loss of the regular Tiger quarterback, jack Little, the Bengals were slated to lose the game. However, under the capable leadership of Gene Vandergrift, the Westport eleven were able to chalk up another victory.

This was in accordance with pre- dictions made by a Kansas City sports writer. However, the Bengals were no pushover. They tlireatened to score several times, but were fouled up each time by bad breaks. Two of the biggest obstacles that prevented the Tigers from scoring were the injuries suffered by two of the ace backs, jack Little and Doug Sater. jack will be out for the rest of the season as a result of a fractured wrist suffered in the Southwest game. Sater sprained his ankle early in the first quarter and although he carrie back on the field in the second half, he was never his old self again. Don Ross matched Roger Taylor's snappy runs by powering over the line on several long runs. Gene Vandergrift did a fine job of quarterbacking the Tigers. Ronnie Hogan, who replaced Sater, also got some hue runs. ' The defeat has dropped the Bengals into fourth place with a Z-2 record. MANAGERS AID TEAM Doing the dirty work for the stu- dents of pigskinology this year are Harold Easley, Marlin Harmony, .Bob Hughes, and ,lack Comer. These ambitious young men are the football managers for the first, sec- ond, and freshmen teams. Harold Eas- ley and Marlin Harmony manage the hrst teamg Bob Hughes and jack Comer manage the second and fresh- men teams. The main job of the managers con- sists of assisting the coaches, attending all the games in or out of town, help- ing out during practice, pumping up footballs, aiding injured players, see- ing that the equipment gets to and from the games, and washing uni- forms. In return for all this work the man- agers are allowed to attend the football picnic and banquet. They receive a school letter and are eligible to join the W Club.

With an air of easy-going merri- ment, the A Cappella choir presented their Harvest Festival November 6 in one of our most colorful assemblies. Alice Powell opened the program with a short speech and poem of thanksgiving, and then introduced the choir members, dressed in square-dance dresses or levis, and their director, Mr. Spring, in overalls and red shirt. Casually grouped on a straw-scat- tered stage backdropped with rural landscapes, the choir sang a hymn of thanksgiving, and several folltsongs, inviting the audience to join in on some. Group numbers included a reci- tation, When the Frost Is On the Pumpkin, by Virgil Broyles, Paul Os- newer, and Lyle Wyly, and a musical reading- Simon, the Fisherman, told by Eddie Barth and the boys of the choir. For the Bnal number, eight choir members executed a square-dance reel as Mr. Spring called and played Skip To My Lou on his violin. Park Singers Give Program The Park Singers provided a very enjoyable hour of vocal music in an assembly October 29. Besides the open- ing and finale by the entire chorus, there were several fine solos and group numbers presented. Now on their tour of Kansas City high schools, the group recently made a tour overseas to entertain the U. S. Air Force troops. Under consideration is a tour planned for next summer that will include England and Ger- many. This chorus was originated by the studentsg their group director is James Merrill, and the organizer, Mr. David. Prepare Debate Discussions of such topics as cour- tesy, narcotics, and elections in the East and West, are leading to the de- bates being prepared by Mr. King's public speaking class. Larry Goetz, Peggy Wathen, Mary Montgomery, Lenora Kee, John Holland, Frank Con- ner, Gloria Easley, Carole Major, June McQuitty, and Mopsy Hall have been taking part in the discussions. Wefeee Qrrestiorr: Do you think Thanks- giving is taken seriously in this pres- ent age, or just as a tradition? Place: Halls of Westport PENNY Garvrutu, Srrlr-jreslarrrarr I don't think it is taken very seri- ously with most people. But most are reminded of it when they sit down to eat. Bnrtnaua Wusr, Fre.slr-rirarr I think Thanksgiving has lost it's full meaning of being a day to be thankful. All these things we have to- day are just taken for granted. Inna Fmtos, Sophomore I think Thanksgiving has become commercialized. lt is thought of as s time to buy and sell food rather than it's original purpose as a day to be truly thankful. Some people still ob- serve it as it was when it was origi- nated. Bon SaNDQu1sT, junior A lot of people think Thanksgiv- ing is the time each year to have the biggest and best meal. A lot of people eat a lot but still give thanks and take Thanksgiving seriously. juvt JOHNSON, Senior I think it is taken for granted, and that people do not take it as seriously as they used to. The grade school and high school people think of it as day to get out of school. r Courirrrrerl on page 5 The Meaning of Thanksgiving .What is Thanksgiving? Webster says, day set apart each year for thanks- giving and praise to God. This is the true meaning of the word. But what has Thanksgiving come to mean? Today, it is thought of primarily as a day of excessive eating, a holiday from school, and a chance to see friends and relatives not seen otherwise. To be sure, these things are an important part of Thanksgiving, but their importance has been over magnified. The true meaning of Thanksgiving has been hidden behind the tempting mounds of mashed potatoes, dressing, and turkey. lt has become a day dedicated to the stomach rather than to God. Perhaps this Thanksgiving all of us, flied with good food and the warmth that comes with being with loved ones and friends, can pause for a moment and count our blessings, so that we may truly Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him and bless His name. fllsalm 100:4j Weed!

Rushing, planning programs, and getting ready for the big teas are keeping a lot of energetic members busy. Originality was present in the themes of the following literary so- ciety rush parties. Pundits theme was Hawaii and everyone came dressed ac- cordingly while Promethean members were all decked out in Halloween cos- tumes. Promethean has begun a project to adopt a family again this Christmas. This project proved to be very worth- while last year. Congrats! to Doug Sater on being elected captain of the football team. He certainly deserved this honor. So long until next issue when your club reporter will bring you the names of all the new members of Westport's literary societies. Open House Westport's open house was held on Tuesday, Nevember 10, 1953. The teachers were in their rooms to meet the parents of Westport's stu- dents. Many graduates of Westport also came to see their former teachers at Westport. Several rooms had clever and at- tractive displays of the work being done by the students in the class. The teachers were assisted by students act- ing as hosts and hostesses. After meeting the teachers the par- ents as well as the teachers and stu- dents went to the auditorium and heard a speech by Dr. Mark Bills, su- perintendent of Kansas City schools, and music by the girls Glee Club. A P.T.A. meeting was also held. Class Writes Sonnets Oh, I could write a sonnet, about your Easter bonnet-or anything else! might well be the theme song of several poets in the English litera- ture class taught by Miss Youngs. The class has been engaged in the fine art of creating Shalsespearean sonnets and Spenserian stanzas for the past week. The generous heart should scorn a pleasure which gives others pain. -Tlaorrzpsorr THE WESTPORT CRIER wtswoar Wise We The two main characters in this chapter of Who's Who are two very active Seniors, Suzanne Adkins and Homer Riggs. Sirzaunr Adkins and Homer Riggs The female lead goes to Suzie 'Ad- kins, who spends her spare time read- ing books from the Literary Guild anti eating southern fried chicken and french fried onion rings. Buddy Mor- row's band rates tops for dancing in her opinion. In her four years at Westport, Suzie has been a member of the Business Committee in her Freshman, Sopho- more, and Senior years, President of Promethean, President oi Glee Club, holder of the Silver Pin in the Honor Society, Assistant-Editor of the Crier, on the Editorial Board of the Herald as Literary Editor, and represented Westport at Girls State this year. She plans to further her education at K.U. where either Science or jour- nalism will be her major. Homer Riggs is the leading male character in this installment. Mr. Pere Noveusen zs, was wrrfs i wet sonality, himself, stands a trim Sill and is known to all as the Vieeiliresi- dent of the Senior Class. This brown-eyed boy of accomplish- ment and high character has been noted in his years at Westport for his friend- ly manner and sparkling personality. His many achievements include being Vice-President of his junior and Sen- ior class, Treasurer in his Sophomore PAUL'S LUNCH Tenolerloins Hot Lunches Delicious Chili 7 West 39th year, a past member of the Executive Board of Student Council, and a mem- ber of Browning Literary Society. Homer deems collecting bricks lpreferably goldj, listening to Garden in the Rain, and Guy Lombardo as very worthwhile ways to spend his time. Steak and French fries rate high in the line of food. Following graduation, Homer plans to enter j.C. and then continue at an- other college where he can major in Science. He hopes someday to be a mad, mad scientist. We salute this couple who has earned a secure spot in Westport's Wh0's Who. lf a man be entitled with a generous mind, this is the best kind of nobility. --Plain Selby Plumbing Co.

My name is Place M. Deep, your friendly undertaker, bring- ing you another financial report on the Happy Resting Place Mortuary. Lately business has been real grand be- cause of careless pedestrians and reck- less driversg put them together and l've got business. Friends, unless you are willing to be lowered in social standing, six feet under that is, the Kansas City Safety Council is urging you to pay heed to these easy to follow tips from the Un- dertaker's Weeklyg l 2 3 4 5 6 7. 8. Cross streets at corners only. Don't walk between parked cars. Obey traiiic signs and signals. Wait for green light on the side- walk. Cross streets in cross walks, don't jaywalk. Use your eyes and ears and then your feet when crossing. Don't play in, or run into the streets. Walk on left facing trailic when there are no sidewalks. Friends, this is Place M. Deep again asking you to keep in your head, there are two kinds of pedestrians, the quick and the dead! And new my future prospects I am going to sign off with a poem or two, namely: With his back to the trailic he trudged alongg He trusted each driver behind him. He refused to believe his trust was wrong, Till he lay in the cot assigned him. Pedestrians get it, left and right, But one thing we seldom see ls a motorist speeding across a lawn to chase one up a tree. Our motto is: There is trouble afoot so don't walk out of this world. Remember the only thing a careless pedestrian will inherit is six feet of earth. Fence M.

Introducing johnny Smith, rated as the top new guitarist by the critics. His Moonlight in Vermont was voted the No. 2 jazz record of '52, and anyone believing all jazz is fast and loud should hear this disc-slow, with fine, full chords and clarity of notes in guitar work, plus leading tenor sax man, Stan Getz. Smith's combo produces some of the finest modern music heard. Starting out with K.C.'s Jay Mc- Shann, Charlie T he Bird Parker has reached the position of number one alto sax man of jazz circles, adding some new slants to music on his way up. He first made jazz sound pretty when he recorded a series of tunes baclsed by a string orchestra, a Nor- man Granz-instigated movement. He pioneered bop in '45 with the con- troversial OrnithoIogy, and was among the first to blend jazz with Afro-Cuban rhythms. His two latest albums- With Strings, having an entirely different orchestral sound from the old ones, and South of the Border, with eight Latin-flavored favorites. The High-Flying Orioles have a new one, In the Mission of St. Augus- tine. Their version of top pop Cry- ing in the Chapel is considered by many to be better than june VaIIi's. Try these for buys: june Christy's bouncy, breezy Whse Baby -Dulse's new cut of The Mooche is terrific- Earl Bostic's slow Velvet Sunset -- Soft by Tiny Bradshaw has had sev- eral favorable comments- Coquette by the Gaylords or King jack on the Dot label-Jo Stafford's Way Down Yonder in New Orleans.

U. campus, a very tasty luncheon, and an exciting foot- ball game were on the agenda for the group of boys from the Westport high school Hi-Y club when they went down to Columbia, Missouri, Saturday, November 14th. The group left the high school bright and early Saturday morning and arrived in the college town about 10:30. After registering at Huggins House, the YMCA and YWCA home in Columbia, they were shown around the campus. They saw President Mid- dIebush's home, the famed columns, and many other interesting sights, in- cluding the new, ultra-modern Stu- dent Union. After the brief, but informative tour, they were treated to a very nice luncheon at the Presbyterian Student Center. There they met the president of the M. U. YMCA, Otto Kux. After luncheon the group was allowed an hours' free time to get to Memorial Stadium to see the Missouri-Kansas State football game. To a few of the boys, it was their first big football game and they enjoyed seeing the Tigers whip K-State 16-6. This was the climax to a big day at the University of Missouri.

The weather was cold but the Tigers were hot on a sizzling offense led by Don Ross and Doug Sater, lialnf- backs. This was Westport's second game that was televised. Westport started off early in the first quarter with a hard running line led by ,lohn Holland, ,lack Ross and jim Maret, Dave Monson and Marvin Page, opening big holes in the Pirate line for Westports backs. Westport's defense was unequaled by Paseo when the Tigers set a record of holding Paseo to only 11 yd. gained in the first half. The second half was an exact du- plicate of the first half with West- port's passing attack running all over Pasco. Stewart Hoeh and Rayko Zla- teff grabbed Well thrown passes from Eugene Vandergriif, quarterback. The Tigers ended up in third place with a 3-3 record. 5 Barbecue 13 E. 39th Si. Southern Pit l One of the busiest men in West- port and a regular human fireballf' best describes George V. Bourrette, Tiger football coach. Mr. Bourrette accumulated more than his share of college credits, at- tending Missouri Wesleyan, iowa State, Iowa University, and Missouri University. During his college years he lettered four years in football, four years in track, and two years in bas- ketball. He was captain of the all- state college team and made Who's Who Among American College and University Students his senior year. he was also president of the W club and president of Tri Beta, na- tional biological fraternity. ln 1928, he became the high school coach at Cameron, Missouri. It was there that he employed the now fa- mous T-formation and immediately produced an unbeaten and nntied pig- skin squad. Doctor Peters, who gives the lien gals their physical examinations today, was center on this team. ln 1936, Mr. liourrette came to Westport. Since then he has established himself as a great coach and sports- man. Although his teams have never won a title, they have come close on many occasions, only to lose out in the final games. He also finds time to be an ofhcial in many basketball and football games. Nowhere will you find a better friend, greater coach and sportsrnan than- Coach G. V. liourrette.

Despite cold, wet weather, the Music Hall was filled by vocal or instrumental music pupils of greater Kansas City who had ob- tained tickets from their teachers. As a prelude to the program, the audience and orchestra joined in the National Anthem. The first selection was Wagner's Die Meistersinger Over- tureg then The Swan of Tunnels by Sibelius featuring Mrs. Richard Doherty on the English horn. Miss Marcia Stallwitze, now studying at the K. C. Conservatory of Music, won much applause and several bows with her performance of the first move- ment of Tschaikovsky's First Piano Concerto. The last number was the lively Caprice Espagnolv by Rimski- Korsakov. However, the audience de- manded encores, and was rewarded with Sousa's Stars and Stripes For- ever and Kristian Sailor's Dance by Gliere. City Holl Day Larry Goetz has been elected West- port's candidate for Mayor-For-a-Day.

No date has been set as of yet. December 7, 1953 Fall Play ls Presented Hilarity reigned on the evening of November 21, as Westport presented its fall play, The Family Circle. The Family Circle is a three-act dramatization of the trials and tribu- lations of the teen-age Cornelia Otis Skinner. Cornelia iPeggy Wathenl is attempting to put on a production of Scenes from Shakespeare in order to prove to her father iLarry Goetzl and her mother i Nancy lo Delapl that she has the talent to become an actress. Her cast for this production in- cludes Mab, her best friend iludy Anthonyl, Enid, her bitter enemy iCarole Majorl, Amy who lisps but aspires to play Juliet iMary Ann Ham- iltonj, and Grace, sweet but forgetful lMary jo Hodgesl. Cornelia's heart interest is Charlie Hammond iFred Sindtl, a dashing college man. His college friends in- clude William ijohn Woody, Henry rFred Culvert, and Gordon iGeorge Bilbyl. Abbey, the maid, iMary Fran- ces Watsont seems to regard the en- tire Skinner family as slightly insane. Feeling that her parents do not be- lieve in her acting ability, Cornelia decides to leave home. She changes her mind, however, upon learning that her father has secured a part for her in a summer play. Special numbers between the acts were provided by Mary Montgomery with a dance interpretation and Ginger Egbert with an acrobatic specialty. The orchestra, trader the direction of Mr. Wallace Fike, also played sev- eral numbers. A -special vote of thanks is due Miss Beck and the entire stage crew for their valuable work, to Miss Hilbert who was in charge of makeeup, and to Mr. E. J. King who so ably directed the play. The play was presented only one night. Over 700 tickets were sold. .Mnvite -Hfumnr' To lfomeeominp TTIDETB 'II'I.iiIE C DC Well, ole Wesger is getting pretty anxious for Santa to visit him this year and guesses everyone else is. A couple of Westporters became very anxious to see him and they took off on a trip to the North Pole and an unusual trip. The travelers, Merle Sorenson and Bill Wyckoff set out on their voyage through the swirling snow in their hot rod toboggan, pulled by a reindeer with towering antlers with initials of Ronny White. They sped past the North Pole, going too fast to stop this time, where Larry Goetz has set up a Barber Shop for Polar Bears like Bob l-Iughes. They are suddenly upset by a huge walrus which turns out to be Bill Dumortier fishing for tropical fish. A flat tire is acquired front a nail in the snow which is discovered to be Marilyn Bure's pointed head, who is going Walrus hunting. After fixing the tire H ,I 1- ' they go speeding away only to run into a huge whale, jack Little, pushing a delapidated tin Iizzy to the nearest garage. They are greatly thrilled as they pass beautiful mansions designed by the great igloe designer, jackie Hackett. The toboggan is slowed down to a mere 50 miles a minute so they can see the ocean. As they gaze, a large wash tub, containing two tnackerels, Alice Monson and Mary Porter, comes sailing gaily by. Anti you can hear the strain from their ukes and voices play- ing Bow, Row, Row, your Boat. Speeding up they run into a giant Bob Moss Mountain thus ending the jaunt.

Tr-in Bntrott THE WEST PORT CRIER Weotykoel Wdeb Wde Shirley Cannady and Doug Sater, popular Westporters noted for their sparkling personality and good looks, hold these titles on the senior ballot. On january 17, 1936, the world, especially Kansas City, was graced with the appearance of little Shirley Cannadyr She first came to Westport in her eighth grade year, and has been in the spotlight ever since. Shirley is President of Pundit Lita erary Society, on the Business Com- mittee during her sophomore and junior years, sergeant of arms of her senior class, feature editor of the Crier-Herald, and an active member of Stage and Screen, Pep Club, and wears the silver pin of Honor Society. When asked what her favorite dishes are she beamed spaghetti and meat balls at the Italian Gardens, sugar doughnuts, and her niother's lemon meringue pie. Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor lead the list as her favorite movie stars and her favorite record is Richard l-layman's Ruby, Shirley enjoys dancing to Ray An- thony's music. After graduating this year, Shirley DECEMBER 7, 1953 plans to attend Junior College and then two years at Kansas University. But whatever she does, college or career, Shirley will be a success. Who is 5' SW' tall, seventeen years old, has blue eyes, and blonde hair? Why, sure, Doug Sater. Doug is captain of the football team, on the business committee, councilman for City Hall Day, three year letternian in football, second team all-city this year, member of Wilson Literary Society, I-Ii-Y, and Honor Society, and above all, would like to be a member of Promethean. Asked about his favorites, it seems Doug has several. First, of course, is food, and he argues nothing can top apple pie, roast beef, and baked and French-fried potatoes. In the musical category, Doug states that Stan Kenton tops his list of orchestras, while Sentimental Me and Eternally lead the songs. As his favorite singers, Tony Bennett and Doris Day can't be beat. Following graduation, Doug hopes to enter a good engineering school.

Tiger Den Plays Host to Orphans ' Santa Claus paid a visit to Westport on Saturday, December 19 when Tiger Den again played host to the Niles Orphan home in the Westport audi- torium. This is the third consecutive year the children from the home have been guests. The children, ranging in age from 5 to 12, each received four gifts from Santa. The gifts were purchased by the students. Following the presentation of gifts, some of the children from the home presented a program of their own. As usual, there was dancing and games in the two gyms after the party. The credit for the marvelous decora- tions on the stage goes to Miss Beck and her art classes. John Foreman and Judy Anthony, co-chairmen of the Tiger Den, re- ceived honors for planning the even- ing for the children and seeing that each received a gift. Welcome fflamat Christmas Music Ushers in Holidays Can you imagine Christmas without music? Here at Westport, music has always been a very important part of the holiday festivities. Christmas music at Westport this year was presented at four concerts. The first of which was the annual Christmas assembly held on Friday, December 11. The A Cappella choir sang such numbers as jingle Bells, Today There is Ringing, Christmas is Coming, and three rather unusual modern carols. The Girls' Glee club also sang several numbers including The Snow, The Sleigh Ride, and Mary's Lullaby. The two groups com- bined to sing Holy Night, Peaceful Night and the traditional Hallelujah chorus. The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Wallace Fike, gave a delightful rendition of Christmas Festival by Leroy Anderson. The second concert was presented on the night of December 21 and con- sisted of the same numbers presented in the assembly. Although primarily for parents and alumni, many students attended to hear the music again. A traditional part of the Christmas festivities was the caroiing in the halls before school this morning. The choir and glee club, led by Mr. Harling Spring, choral director, and joined by surrounding students, sang many well- known and well-loved carols. Westport Plays Santa to Vets Thirty-six Christmas stockings have been packed by Santa's helpers lWest- portersi and sent to nearby veterans' hospitals. The stockings contained candy, cigarettes, lighters, calendars, books, and many other things of use to the hospitalized service-men to help make Christmas away from home seem hap- pier. The home rooms did a fine job of filling the stockings this year as well as fastening big red and green bows to them. These bows were decorated with Christmas ornaments. Veterans' hospitals in Wadsworth, Excelsior Springs, and Kansas City will receive these gifts Hlled with treats as well as a sincere wish for a Merry Christmas from Westport high school. Westport Junior Red Cross repre- sentatives heard of a visit to Korea and Japan and plans for the distribu- tion of Christmas stockings at the regular meeting of the all-city council. During the meeting, which was held at the headquarters building, Mr. J. T. Nicholson, executive vice-president and general manager of the Red Cross, gave a report on his recent visit to Korea and Japan. It was also revealed at the meeting that on December 21, the 1,440 Christmas stockings, filled by students in the Kansas City school system, will be delivered by trained personnel to the veterans' hospitals at Wadworth, Excelsior Springs, and in Kansas City. Westport students trained for this work include: John Holland, who has served three yearsr john Wood, two yearsg Florence Snidow, Alice South, Jack Little and Mike jones, each one year. The fourth group of Christmas numbers will be presented by alumni members of the choir in the home- coming assembly to be held today. They will sing songs, including the ever popular The Night Before Christmas. Many thanks are due Mr. Spring and Mr. Fike and the entire music department for making Christmas a memorable event at Westport. 'GREETINGS OF THE SEASON , from the Crier Stuff Has Christmas lost Its Meaning? The change in the spelling of Christmas to Xmas typilies the changes which have taken place in the holiday itself-the Christ has been taken out of Christmas. Like Thanksgiving, Mothers' Day, and many other holidays, Christmas has become so commercialized that its true meaning has almost been lost. It is far more important to fix a delicious Christmas dinner than to attend Christ- mas worship. Trimming your tree is more important than reading your Bible. It is not necessary that such activities as trimming the tree, wrapping pres- ents and fixing a special Christmas Dinner be eliminated or even neglected. Such activities are a vital part of Christmas and should be participated in and enjoyed. It is necessary, however, that we pause now and then to think of the true meaning and concept of the holiday. It is unbelievable, but true, than many people reach high school age and even adulthood without realizing that Christmas is the Christ Child's birthday. But, perhaps this is not so strange. We must remember that the dominating figure at Christmas is Santa Claus rather than Christ. Look at the downtown stores of Kansas City. You will see a hundred pictures of Good Saint Nick for every picture of the nativity scene. Enjoy yourselves during the coming Christmas holidays. Join in the iight- heartedness that Christmas inspires, but stop once or twice and think for a moment of the Child who was born so many years ago and of the deep, true, and holy meaning of Christmas. What Would You Do? If Christ knocked at your door on Christmas morn, would you open the door with confidence that He would find Himself represented there? Or did you forget to place the Nativity scene under your Christmas tree or mount the angel at the top of it? Jesus might find many beautiful things, crumpled wrapping paper, a de- lightful feast on the table, but He was evidently forgotten. His face would be sad to find a home without the warmth of His love and devotion to you and me. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Gods son. It is to I-lim we owe this day, not to Santa Claus, or Rudolph, the red nosed reindeer. Let us re- member to make our homes and thoughts His on this, the most glorious day of all days, Christmas. he Hartnett tlitisr CRIER STAFF Published bi-weekly during the school year by the news- writing class of Westport High School, Kansas City, Missouri.

The Short Novels of John Stein- beck is a recent book on the market, containing six separate novels by this famous author. Included in this hue variety are Of Mice and Men, The Red Pony, The Moon is Down, Cannery Row, The Pearl, and Tortilla Flat. These are not con- densations, but are all complete works. The recent filming of The Robe has aroused new enthusiastic interest in the book of the same title by Lloyd C. Douglas. The masterful style in which Douglas conveys his conception of events preceding and following the crucifixion of Christ is certain to take the reader through this 500 page volume without faltering. This ex- cellent book of man's faith in God and His Son, would be an appropriate gift at this particular season. A Man Called Peter is not a re- cent publication, but it certainly worthy of your attention. Catherine Marshall, wife of Peter Marshall, has written this true story of the brilliant life of a man dedicated to God and his fellow man. He put faith into the faithless, and hope into the oppressedg but his life reached a sudden ending at the peak of his career while he was Chaplain of the United States Senate. The Sojourner is the most recent book by the famed author of The Yearlingf' Marjorie Kinan Rawlings. lt is the psychological story of a man whose life is torn by the failure of his children to live hottest and good lives. Although this new book is not comparable to The Yearlingf' it is certain to hold your interest.

The typing classes have recently used the I.B.M. electric typewriter. Mr. Jack E. Fenton, of the I.B.M. com- pany, spoke to the classes about the machine. Over 700 social science students were given the opportunity of using the new voting machine which was at Westport for one day in which it was demonstrated. This is the iifth week that the ma- chine has been visiting schools in the Kansas City area demonstrating its abilities to the students. Upon entering the machine, the voter moves the red handle thus clos- ing the curtains and making the ma- chine ready to operate. The voter stands facing a row of levers, one signifying yes and one no for each question to be voted upon. By pulling either the yes or no lever, the voter has cast his vote. He then pulls the red handle back to the left and leaves the booth. The whole operation can be done in a matter of seconds. Not only are the machines time- saving, but more elhcient, accurate, and economical. Florence Snidow, well known West- port senior, ably represented the school in a panel discussion at junior College Tuesday evening, December 1. The panel consisted of eight mem- bers, one from each of the Kansas City public high schools. The discus- sion, entitled 'Teenagers Talk Back' was moderated by Mr. Edwin J. King, a member of the Westport High School Faculty. The panel discussed such timely problems as teenage driving, social life including dating, early marriages- their advantages and disadvantages, and home and school conflicts. The discussion was closed after a brief period of audience participation. 3 WNEDBB Tiiiib CJLOC 'Twas the night before Christmas, And through Westport's hall, Not a shriek could be heard, Nor a single footfall. Westporters were nestled all snug In their beds, While visions of teachers Danced round in their heads. Then up in the sky, a bright object was seeng 'Twas good ole Saint Nick in a B-17. He stopped at Delaps. He was jolly and round, And down Nancy's chimney he came with a bound. Nick left in her stocking what he knew would please A beautiful grade card just checked full of E's.

To Cherylyn Hughes, fsweets to the sweetj A big box of candy, really a treat. Then off Santa journeyed, through the dark sky, 4 Until he just happened Jim Jarvis to spy. To Jim out of his bulging sack, Santa gave a book Called 'Westport Facts. lT'S A PROVEN FACT THAT: All seniors are superior beings. Larry Goetz is opening a ballet school. Fred Sindt owns and races his own Jaguar. Second year Spanish is a snap course. Mr. King maintains perfect discipline in all his classes. Florence Snidow is running a goodies racket. Mr. Harris steals candy from small children. Miss Brubaker is a comic book addict. Peggy Wathen is writing a book en- titled How to Fry Finks in Three Easy Lessons. Ben Peterson is an overgrown midget. Carole Major hates boys. Miss Jensen is planning to elope with Artie Shaw. Everyone studies in Westport's study hall. Smiling at Jim, Santa did then depart For he knew to the North Pole he quickly must start. And as he flew over Westport, dear, He sighed a great sigh and he shed agreat tear, To think that he new was compelled to leave And not see Westport 'till next Christmas eve.

The first package is labeled Mary jo Hodges. Mary has accomplished great things during her three years at Westport. Her first feat was to be elected vice-president of Promethean. Some of her numerous other activities include parlimentarian of Speech Arts, a member of the student council, a member of two play productions, and making posters for Tiger Den. jo is also a member of the Crier-Herald staff and creator of the 'jazzbo jo' column in the Crier. Girls Glee club is another of her pet activities. Mary Jo, with all her extra-curricular ac- tivities, is a member of the Honor Society, holding the silver pin. Maybe this will help you to under- stand why she was picked the girl most likely to succeed. Mary jo doesn't eat much, but when she does, spaghetti and meat sauce rate high on her list. She also has a mania for white bucks and crew cuts ion boys, of coursei. After graduation, Mary jo plans to attend M. U. to take up journalism. The second package under the tree is labeled John Woods Foreman. This DECEMBER 23, 1953 package stands 5 feet 9 inches tall and has 148 pounds on his frame. In his five years at Westport, john has added up quite a list of things. Among them are such accomplish- ments as being elected to the business committee of his freshman class, a member of the executive board of the student council, a member of the All City student council and president of the Hi-Y club. He is also co-chairman of the Tiger Den and a very active member of Wilson Literary Society and Speech Arts. john, too, is a holder of a silver pin in the Honor Society. The boy Who has done most for Westport certainly suits John to a !QT.D! When john sits down to eat, almost anything in the way of food will do, especially steak and pie. Regarding the future John hopes to get a scholarship to some college or university and study chemical en- gineering. These two bright Christmas pack- ages, with all their glowing ribbon, certainly deserve a place in Westport's Who's Who. Harriet's Advice To the lovelorn Dear Harriet, I am going steady with a fellow here at Westport. We're very happy to- gether, but lately, everytime he sees me, he throws little things at me such as little rocks, little knives, etc. Fur- thermore, I have seen him twice at Tiger Den with a peroxide blond who he says is his mother. Last night, when I tried to ask him about her, he chased me around the room with a butcher knife. My question is this- Do you think his love for me has cooled? Sincerely, Confused Dear Confused, How can you think such a thing? You must surely see that he does these little things in the spirit of playfulness. it is evident that you have found a good, clean, American lad. It's a pity you fail to appreciate him. My advice to you is to hide all throwable objects, peroxide your hair, dull the edge of the butcher knife and go back to this young man who so ob- viously loves you. Harriet P.S. If this advice doesn't work and he catches you when he is chasing you with the knife, my brother is a doctor and would appreciate your patronage. Dear Harriet, One of the boys here at Westport has been paying marked attention to me. He has called me three times a day every day for the last two months. He is 6'2 with blond hair and blue eyes and is one of the best looking boys I have ever seen. He plays foot- ball and basketball, is the President of the senior class and is a straight E student. His father is a banker and he drives his own '54 Cadillac converti- ble. He keeps bringing me mink coats and diamond bracelets and is always asking me to marry him. But, I'm not sure. You see, he wears polka-dot neckties. Could I ever learn to love a man who wears polka-dot neckties? Help me Harriet! l Sincerely, Troubled Dear Troubled, This boy goes to Westport? You are absolutely right. This man is obviously not for you. I can think of nothing more hideous than spend- ing the rest of your life with a man who wears polk-dot neckties. Have nothing to do with this fellow. Harriet P.S. Since he will undoubtedly be lonesome on losing you, I feel it is my duty to console him. Have him call me at GR 1000. iYou said he brings you mink coatsil Better still, have him drop by anytime. I'll be waiting.

Jack Webb make news again! A new album titled The Christmas Story will be in stores for prefChrist- mas sales, and the story itself will be televised as the Christmas Dragnet show, thereafter becoming the tradi- tional Yuletide presentation of that production. The story is an account of the actual case of a young Spanish boy who steals a statue of jesus from an old mission in Los- Angeles, and makes a promise to Santa Claus, RCA Victor has released several EP's featuring Christmas music done by Hugo Winterhalter, Perry Como, Mario Lanza, Robert Shaw Chorale, and the late Hank Snow. Homer and Jethro pour it on some kiddy tunes with results only they could achieve: Randolph the Flat- Nosed Reindeer, All I Want For Christmas Is My Upper Plate, I Saw Mommy Smoochin' Santy Claus, and Frosty the De-Frosted Snow- man. Send this next one to the children of the kin you love to crush. Spike Jones renders Rudolph, Two Front Teeth, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, and Socko the Smallest Snow- ball in fairly orderly fashion. After the hostess passed a lovely relish tray of radishes, celery, carrot strips, and scallions, I most people call them green onions, but they're really scallions, i the delighted guests listened to the complete recorded works of Stan Freberg, including his newest, Christmas Dragnet, the tale of a non-believer-in-Santa Claus. A dainty dessert of candied chlorophyll pills ended the luncheon. Fred Waring's new album entitled The Christmas Story tells the Na- tivity Story in Christmas songs, carols, and Biblical verses. It seems almost everyone's favorite artist has made a Christmas album which would lend a nice background to holiday festivities. Here's a few names: Ames Brothers, Dick Haymes, Arthur Godfrey, Three Suns, Bing Crosby, Boys' Town Choir, jimmy Boyd, and the St. Luke's Choristers. Fast becoming a Christmas classic is The Littlest Angel, and Loretta Young tells the story nicely on a record fop those who enjoyed reading the T386 6 Liberate comes up with an economy package of White Christmas, Si- lent Night, and Jingle Bells on one side and backs it with a rather pretty combination of Bach, Gounod, and Schubert's Ave Mariah. Not seasonable, but noted is popu- larity of the Love Theme from The Robe, by Lloyd C. Douglas. An album of the complete musical back- ground of the movie can be purchased also. As we part for the holidays, let the shadows of everyday living and care be banished from our minds and hearts by the light of the unselfish spirit of Christmas, seen in a lighted wreath in a window, a glowing candle on the altar, or a radiant star burning in the 'clear blue of a December sky. Pat's Poster Places Pal Flnlbers and Poster The annual Clean-Up Campaign to arouse school interest in keeping our building clean was held November 30 through December Il. The hard-working school improve- ment committee of Student Council publicized this effort with home-room notices, Student Council reports to homerooms, and a poster contest. En- tries were displayed in the front hall, and through student voting, Pat Flath- ers' entry' was selected winner, with Elaine Hodges' poster placing second. The remaining entries were circulated throughout the homerooms to remind students of their job of keeping West- port a neat and clean school.

The morn- ing class formed Westport Cubsf' the afternoon class, Cannon Kids. Officers for these clubs are elected every six weeks. Much time has been spent on ac- quainting the boys and girls with grades, study habits, values of good preparations, and good citizenship. Al- ready the class can see encouraging progress. The class excursions have been limited to Science Units. They have gone to the Planetarium and to the Telephone Company. Each Wednes- day the classes have a film with a sci- ence theme. The morning and afternoon class have had some nice parties and are now very busy getting ready for Santa Claus. Mr. Frederick Miller's morning and afternoon classes left for Lawrence, Kansas December 10th to visit the university and the Dykes Museum. Leaving school early in the morning, he and his classes arrived in Lawrence in time to have lunch at the univer- sity's cafeteria. Two films also high- lighted their visit The 1950 Orange Bowl game and the 1952 Olympic Basketball game. The Common Learning class arrived home tired, but highly excited over their trip. Mr. Alva Baker's morning and af- ternoon classes are planning Christmas parties. The ones in charge of the morning class are Bill Perkins, Judy Madison, Carle Potter, and Marla Greim. The party plans are Christmas games, exchange of gifts, and refresh- ments in the cafeteria. The room will be decorated and will have a Christ- mas tree. Refreshments will be cookies, ice cream, punch, and candy canes. The afternoon people that are in charge of the party are Phylis I-latter, Carol Wharton, Gloria Bigelow, Chuck Patterson, Ann Jeskstaedt. Party plans are games, refreshments, exchange of gifts, gag presents, old and new versions of Night Before Christ- mas. The refreshments include cookies, cup cakes and cokes plus a surprise refreshment. Mr. John Hunt's classes are going together to buy gifts for the Niles Orphans. They are planning that in- stead of the usual Christmas party. The morning and afternoon classes went on a tour at the Telephone Com- pany. The morning class went through the television station. DECEMBER 23, 1953 College Day Big Success Four hundred eighty two seniors and juniors received guidance in planning their futures on College Day, Decem- ber 10. During the sixth and seventh hours, the students had an opportunity to talk with representatives from 71 col- leges and universities throughout the nation and ask questions about the important choice of the right school and field of work for which they are best qualified. Students, whose plans do not in- clude a college education, were given information in their choice of a ca- reer. Speakers for the career minded were: Mrs. Patricia Harris, at attor- ney for T.W.A.g Miss Dorothey Shea, from Macy'sg Mr. O. I-1. Day, who spoke about job opportunities in Kan- sas City industriesg and Mr. William McCubbin, speaking about training on the job. At the close of the activities, teach- ers and representatives met in the cafe- teria for coffee. The success of this program is due to the following people: Miss Beck and the stagecraft class who prepared the stage, Mr. Sloan and his classes who prepared the cafeteria, Mr. Wilcox, whose classes made the signs, and Miss Jackson, who, with her Honor So- ciety students, ushered the representa- tives to their rooms. Shakespeare Shivers If you see your fel. ow class mates pacing moodily up and down the front hall shrieking, Is this a dagger which I see before me, don't be alarmed. They're only doing their homework. Students of Miss Youngs and Miss Maddox's English literature classes have been reading and studying Shakespeare's Macbeth. Some of the pupils have been required to memorize certain passages. Seniors X-Rnyed Only 150 of 220 seniors at West- port availed themselves of the oppor- tunity of taking the T.B. tests that were offered free to high school stu- dents. The machine was furnished by the Kansas City Tuberculosis Association. Students who tools the test will have the results sent to their homes. If these notices are saved, they may be used for occupational or college en- trance health examinations. SHINE AND DYI WORK Only Quality Work .IOE'S BACK AGAIN Formerly of 206 Westport Itd.

Sixteen Westport girls attended the social gathering and seemed to feel that they learned quite a bit about their chosen career. Several schools of nursing sent rep- resentatives who passed on much in- formation and gave the girls literature concerning nursing in their individual schools. To close the program, a movie, en- titled 'The Keepers of the Lamp' was shown to the girls. Buy Christmas Seals, Prevent TB Every year at this time, we see the familiar symbol of Christmas, the Christmas seals, which are sold by the Tuberculosis Association of the United States to help continue the right against that dread disease, TB. This year, the seal depicts a young lad singing a carol with the cross that has come to represent the TB association in the background. Let's all get together and support this wonderful organization with its great Hght for mankind. The Cold Facts About this time of year, the halls of Westport echo with the muted sneezing and coughing of its students. Most colds can be prevented by the use of good common sense, said Miss Cecile Burke, school nurse. Here are some preventive measures recommended by Miss Burke: 1. Avoid contact with persons who have colds. 2. Avoid sudden chilling of the body, especially when overheated. 3. Avoid fatigue which makes one more susceptible to colds. 4. Dress warmly for severe weather. lf you should catch a cold, follow these beneficial rules: 1. Rest. 2. Keep warm and dry. i. Drink plenty of liquids. 4. Gargie hot salt water every hour if your cold involves a sore throat. 5. Do not come to school. You will only serve to communicate the disease to another. These rules apply to the average cold. if your cold is particularly se- vere or lasts more than a few days, call your doctor. Most serious and even fatal diseases develop from the common cold. So, New Students Many bright new faces have been seen in the Westport halls lately. Nineteen new students have enrolled in Westport since November 1.

Feliy Navidad Del Club De Espanol De Westport. In other words, Merry Christmas from Westport's Spanish club. This club, formed to promote a better understanding of the Spanish language, is conducted almost entire- ly in that language. A Christmas party was recently held by the club. Skies and Christmas carols were presented in Spanish by members of the club. Perhaps the high light of the afternoon was the breaking of the pinata which was filled with candy, nuts and gum. The oflicers for the first semester are: Lenora Kee, Presidente Robert Klein, vice-presidents Linda Ogletree, secretaryg and James Malloy, treasurer. The sponsor of the Spanish club, as she has been for many years, is Miss Shelly, a Spanish teacher at Westport.

Every Speech Arts member is required to enter either the reading contest or the oration contest which will be held in the spring. Tryout material should not be mem- orized, but instead should be well pre- pared. Those students passing the prelim- inary tryouts will be eligible to take part in the reading contest which will be presented as an assembly january ll. DECEMBER 23, 1953 'Big plans have been made by the Pep club this year. Blue corduroy jackets are being made by all members to give the club an appearance of unity previously lacking.

Jack along with Mares, Monson, and Holland sparked the Tigers hard charging line. Don Ross, a senior, at left halfback, repeated his last years performance and took the halfback spot on the all-star team. Don is 5'1l tall and tips the scale at 170 lbs.

Don was extremely successful in smash- ing through the opposing lines for large gains and touchdowns which placed him in third place, tied with Sitter, in scoring. Doug Sater, 5f8 , 160 lbs., half- back, proved himself capable of a second team berth in his last year of high school. Doug was one of the most successful kickersc in the league, and was chosen captain of the year by his teammates. Besides being a real star in sports Doug has always been able to keep his studies. up and stay on the honor roll. . Stewart Hoch, 5'1l , 165 lbs., who also secured a berth on the second team, was one of the fastest and most reliable ends in the league this year. Stewart placed third in pass re- ceiving.

THE WESTPORT CRIER he rata rt Qiritr Vol. 41, No. 9 KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI g january 20, 1954 Scholarships Can Pay Dividends Hundreds of excellent scholarships are available to the youth of Kansas City, said Miss Ola V. Galatas, West- port High School's guidance counselor. This is the time of the year when all Westport becomes college-conscious. Members of the junior and senior classes met with the representatives from many colleges and universities during the recent College Day. Notices concerning college entrance and col- lege scholarships have repeatedly ap- peared on the front board and in the home room bulletins. The choice of a college or university is a much dis- cussed topic at every senior gathering. However, many of Westport's stu- dents feel that they will be unable to attend college because of unfavorable hnancial conditions. This is, in most cases, not true. Any student with an M plus average or above, who has shown good character and a willing- ness to work, is eligible for scholarship aid. C. 0. E. Makes TV Debut Several members of the C.O.E. class and their sponsor, Miss Cunning, re- cently presented two programs over radio and television concerning oppor- tunities and problems advanced to those working while going to school. Six pupils discussed ways of utiliz- ing the public library to better one's knowledge of school or career life in a Youth Looks Ahead program heard December 16 over KMBC radio. Par- ticipating werefMiss Cunning, Jack Stewart, Harold Carpenter, Russell Stewart, Phyllis Loman, Larry Mor- row, and Orace Martin. The December 17 telecast of KCTY's Youth Forum viewed an informal discussion of problems and questions arising from finding one's place in the business world, as well as school life. With Miss Cecile Burton moderating, Miss Cunning, Phyllis Lo- man, Carolyn Suttles, Mary jo Hodges, jack Stewart, jerry Harper, Orace Martin, Harold Carpenter, Larry Mor- row, and Wayne Woodson reviewed what the working student learns con- cerning accepting responsibilities, get- ting along with co-workers, and time and money budgeting. In addition to the many scholar- ships offered by the individual colleges, there are many excellent scholarships which can be used in any college: Sears, Roebuck-s275, nonrenew- able. Mnookin-Brown-s400, first prizeg s200, second prize. Linwood Presbyterian Leadership Scholarship-s200. There are also fine scholarship op- portunities for students who have members of their immediate family employed by the following concerns: Phillips Petroleum Company Ford Motor Company Steelworkers of America. One of Kansas City's finest scholar- ships is the Victor Wilson Scholarship for boys, which affords the winner the opportunity to attend Yale or Kansas City University with a renewable scholarship of up to 02,200 a year. If you are interested in attending college and are in need of financial as- sistance, see the counselor as soon as possible, since applications should be sent early to give you the best possible chance of being accepted. Remember, reiterated Miss Gala- tas, it is not necessary to be a straight' E student to receive scholarship aid. Popenoe Gives Lectures Dr. Paul Popenoe, Sc. D., director of the American Institute of Family Relations, gave lectures in the junior College auditorium December 8, at 12:30 and 7:45. He spoke to approxi- mately 300 persons. At the 12:30 meeting the doctor spoke on the subject: Who Is a Good Marriage Risk. Choosing the right partner, is the main thing in marriage according to Dr. Popenoe. Love is a mystic thing and comes and goes unexpectedly. School is the major matrimonial agency today, he said, because many marriages are a result of school ac- quaintancesf' Because beauty is only skin deep, the doctor said that one should choose a marriage partner for what he or she is instead of how he or she looks. The trouble with the modern glamour girl is that she is over-ex- HI-Y PRESENTS INDIAN PROBLEMS Mr. Harold Horne spoke of the situ- ation today in India in an assembly presented December 15 by the West- port Hi-Y. As associate general secre- tary of the Indian, Pakistanian, and Ceylonian YMCA, Mr. Horne has traveled extensively to promote the YMCA's mission of helping people bet- ter their economic, social, educational, and spiritual conditions. Preceding his speech, the school band, under the direction of Mr. Fike, played two selections, followed by Larry Goetz leading the student body in the pledge of allegiance to the flag. Fred Culver explained the duties of the Hi-Y and then introduced Mr. I-lorne who presented the situation of India today and facts explaining the actions taken by the government and people of this publicized country. In a summary these facts are: Basic needs are the impelling forces deter- mining decisions concerning govern- ment and economic conditions: this weakness is the root of Communist strength, and aiding these needs is the best way of combating the Reds. Low life expectancy despite a population increase of five million people yearly necessitates improving the agricultural methods of the 255,000,000 people en- gaged in farming. About 75 per cent of India's three hundred million peo- ple are illiterate, but the high school scholars of the remaining fraction are able to speak four languages. India is trying to better herself, but is faced with these and other problems, per- haps the greatest of which is to pre- serve the independence from British rule that she won in 1947. posed and under-developed, states Dr. Popenoe. For every 100 marriages in Cali- fornia there are 99 divorce cases, a very low ratio of successful marriages. He believes steps must be taken to combat this unhealthy situation im- mediately. Dr. Popenoe, who is married and has four boys, has written many books, the latest of which is: Marriage ls What You Make Il. Save This Marriage, was the sub- ject of the evening lecture. JOIN THE The dime, littlest coin of the realm, has played a big role in the develop- ment of America. It was for the dime-or disme as we called it then-that Thomas jef- ferson fought in 1784. It symbolized the decimal system for American tnoney, a system which had attach op- position among early American leaders. Were it not for Mr. jefferson, who though it simpler to count by tens, we probably never would have known the dime. A group led by banker Robert Morris felt strongly along the lines of adopting an existing foreign currency system-something, say, like francs or shillings-with which colon- ists were already familiar. But Mr. jefferson, a forceful man, held his ground, and the disme came into being. The word disme was de- rived from the French dixme, mean- ing tenth A few were minted in 1792 when the first mint went into operation in Philadelphia, but it was in 1796 be- fore our forefathers were jingling mint-made dimes in their pockets in any number. Earlier, dismes and half-dismes were made from hand cut dies when the need for small change arose among the founding fathers. Word has it that a portion of Martha Washington's sil- verware was melted down to make the first half-dismesf' Other than the early hand cut ef- forts, dimes have not changed much in style over the years, according to numismatists, and therefore, held little challenge for the coin collecting set. Most changes in the eight types of dimes have concerned Winged Liberty. Some engravings have her arm draped, others expose a bit of her elbow. She has faced both ways during her his- tory on the 10 cent piece. But, on the whole, dimes have been fairly consis- tent and in good supply. MARCH .... The March of Dimes came into be- ing in 1938 when the nation's people rose to march against an epidemic dis- ease-holding forth the dime as their symbol of might. The name, first sug- gested by Eddie Cantor, made the dime synonymous with the fight against polio. Symbolism on the Winged Liberty dime is significant to the fight being waged by the March of Dimes, as well as to a free nation. The olive branch signifies strength through unityg the battle ax symbolizes preparedness to defends and the torch on the Roose- velt dime is the torch of freedom. The Franklin D. Roosevelt dime, which has been minted since 1946, was a major departure in engraving for the country's littlest coin. It joined an exclusive fraternity-with the Lincoln penny, the jefferson nickel and the Washington quarter-as one of the only portrait coins minted for general use in this country. The Roosevelt dime was engraved by Jolm R. Sinuock, chief engraver of the U. S. mint and designer of the Purple Heart. Some one billion Roose- velt dimes have been minted since then. Before dropping dimes into the near- est March of Dimes coin box, it may be a good idea to glance at the date. There was a small market in dimes back in 1894 and only 24 were minted. Such a dime would be marked 1894-S and should bring about 82,500 from your nearest coin dealer. There is also a shortage of 1844 dimes, but no one seems to know why. The mint issued 72,500 that year, but they seem to have vanished. Vanished, too, are the dimes of the National Foundation of infantile Pa- ralysis which were collected in the 1955 March of Dimes. These have been used to provide needed care for polio victims over the nation and to win another round on the research battle against the nation's crippler.

THE WESTPORT CRIER IJIRI EIII 'IFIBIE OBOOBB At 3:30 P.M. after much brain exertion I, Ye-Olde-Crier-Reporter, staggered out of Room 4. As I paused to rest under the clock, I asked him to divulge some information he gath- ered in past few days at Westport. He first told me of a new language he had heard while ticking off the minutes: avenue: I avenue babysitter. denial: Cleopatra lived and loved on denial. festival: I can go to the movies but festival I have to get my homework. Himilaya: Yesterday was Pa's birth- day and Ma made himalaya cake. nuisance: I haven't had any nuisance last Crier. tplugl wiggle: She wears her hat all the time because she's afraid her wiggle come off. Lynda Posey and Shirley Posell were heard talking the other day, and Lyn- da said, I want a boy who is kind, handsome, intelligent, masculine, and wealthy. Shirley replied, You don't want a boy, you want a committee. The clock's hands flew to his face in utter dismay when he heard: I like exams I think they're fun I never cram And I don't flunk one: I'm the teacher! Miss Bonney, telling her class You should always cat spinach: it will put color in your cheeks, received this reply: Who wants green cheeks, any- way? An interested passer-by seeing Gary Perry digging in the snow beside his car inquires Car stuck? Oh, no, answered Gary, My en- gine died and I am digging a grave for it. Judy Riley stated last week that she sure wished she'd lived a thousand years ago. Morvon Turley hearing her state- ment asked her, Why, for goodness sake? ,Iudy intelligently answered: Think of all the history I wouldn't have to learn.

Edward H. Harriman, Americas Napoleon of railroading, who died be- fore the project had started, told jar- vis Hunt, famous Chicago architect, to give Kansas City something to be proud of in a building, to give the people a monument that would live through the years. Harriman's ideas, combined with his own, inspired Hunt to design such a building which is known today as the Union Station. The old union depot was out of date. Population of the city was be- ginning to soar. A terminal was much needed by everyone. The opening of the Union Station in 1914 was the biggest event of that year and it was an attraction to every person for miles around. lt is still a Jig attraction in Kansas City today. Welcome Mai Out for Graduates The sixty-first animal homecoming assembly for Westport's alunmi, friends, and former teachers was held on Wednesday, December 23, 1953. Helen Ruf, the president of the senior class of 1953, served as Mistress of Ceremonies. Many of the alumni came forward to make brief speechesg among these were several students from the classes of 1908 to 1920. Mr. Shouse, former principal of Westport, introduced these former students. The roll call of classes was called. A traditional part of the program was the alumni choir, directed by Mr. Spring. Approximately 200 alumni re' turned for this animal reunion. For Miss lna Bonney's hard work in making this assembly the success it was, much appreciation is due. I .narrow-rioaais -ner mane' WERNEI.

Since January 20, 1936, Mary Ann has been amusing her friends with jokes and antics and this year won the title of Comediennel' on the senior ballot. She is vice-president of Promethean, treasurer of Speech Arts, and a member of Stage and Screen. In her junior year she served on the Sliouse Memorial Fund committee, and wears the bronze pin of Honor Society. During the Christmas vacation Mary Ann's brother took her to Chi- cago for a real holiday. She collects records, favoring Harry james' band and the current hit Ebb Tide, and likes movies with Susan Hayward and Gary Cooper. Spaghetti and meat balls are her favorite food, and practicing her new trumpet, a new hobby. K. U. will be her post-graduation destina- tion. The Best Boy Student was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, on January 2, 1936. Marlin served as class treasurer during his freshman year, sergeant of arms in his sophomore year, and a member of the business committee in his junior year. He has had three busy seasons as football manager, but main- tained his high grades and wears Hone or Society's silver pin. Marlin likes chicken and all the fixings, but isn't particular about bands or songs. He would like to go to M.I.T. after graduation. JANUARY 20, 1954 TOEDMAN CAB INC.

Oihcers of your Student Council this year are: President-Larry Goetz Vice-President--Christine Rui Secretary-Ben Peterson Treasurer-Dave Ruf Sgt.-at-Arms-Judy Anthony The entire membership of the coun- cil is divided into six committees which do much valuable, but often unappreciated, work. The Tiger Den committee is headed by Judy Anthony and John Foreman. its main function is to plan and carry out interesting and varied Tiger Dens. One of the special duties of the com- mittee is making arrangements for the annual Christmas adoption of the Niles Orphan Home. Several members of the All City Student Council were present at the Christmas Tiger Den and highly praised the way the Den was organized and managed. Some difiiculties have arisen lately, however, over the deliberate destruction of such items as ping pong paddles at recent Tiger Dens. and the committee asks student cooperation to see that such incidents do not reoccur. The welcoming committee, headed by Mary Ann Hamilton, functions constantly, extending a Westport wel- come to new students, showing them 7 Ti-' rm' around the building, and helping them become acquainted. The committee is in need of students who have a study hall and would be willing to serve as members of this committee. The poster committee is headed by Pat Flathers and Lillian Bowser and is responsible for the posters which decorate our halls and inform us as to coming .school events. The school improvement committee works for the betterment of Westport by sponsoring clean-up campaigns and other necessary drives. The committee is headed by Keytha Sharp and Irma Fields. The health and safety committee, headed by Bob Mace and Dave Rui, helps to maintain safe and healthful conditions throughout the school. Their activities include promotion oi health measures in the cafeteria, an Eat a good breakfast campaign, and the constant checking of faulty rail- ings. The publicity committee is headed by Lenore Yeager and Christine Ruf. This is a rather new committee, hav- ing been formed only last year. It is designed to bring the activities of Westport into the public eye. If you have any suggestions for changes or improvements here at Westport, tell your Student Council representative and have it discussed at e ' ' ' the next mcetlllg. Remember, this rs your Student Council. It exists to serve you. State Music Clinic Held in Kirksv'lIe Let There Be Music was the theme of the State Music Clinic under the direction of Hurling Spring in Kirksville, Missouri, january 7 and 8. Mr. Spring, Westport's vocal direc- tor, was elected to direct this chorus of 80 students from 40 different schools, by the Executive Committee of the Missouri Music Education Asso- ciation which sponsors a chorus of high school people to Summer Camp at Missouri University and then as a demonstration chorus at the State Music Clinic in Kirksville. Barbara Coonce and Peggy Bullock were the only Westporters attending the clinic. Of the 80 students partic- ipating three-fourths were of the soph- omore and junior year in school. Other than learning live songs for their concert which included You Are Love and Skip to My Lou, the chorus was instructed in vocal tech- niques. ' Mr. Spring said that he was very pleased with the personal response he received from the chorus while they were singing and that a good time was had by all.

THE WESTPORT CRIER he iiiaatp rt Claire v.a.4i,ivs.z A . xnivsnscirraussouni liebruaryll,l954 Wirracrs of reading contests lobrr Forernarz and Barbara Church I I C Candtdo Finds U. S. Interesting One of the happiest men in the mu- sic business today is Candido, the fea- tured congo and bongo drummer of Stan Kenton's modern jazz band. Aft- er six years of playing, with a group at the Tropicana night-club in Ha- vana, Cuba, his one year in America has seen a remarkable number of bis- tro dates with such names as Dinah Washington, Woody Herman, Benny Green, Coleman Hawkins, Billy Tay- lor, Machito, a recording date with the George Shearing Quintet that pro- duced the new Tiempo De Concerto, and for the past six months his con- nection with Kenton. A good-natured fellow with arms heavily muscled from his strenuous drumming, Candido hnds U.S. life interesting, likes even the cold weath- er, and appreciates people's consider- ation of him. He enjoys playing with Kenton, and has a combined interest and liking for modern American jazz and classical music as well as his own native Afro-Cuban rhythms. He made the surprising statement that touring doesn't tire him, but added that he wears earmuffs on the be- tween-date bus trips to insure getting a good deal of undisturbed sleep. His large, strong hands are insured by Lloyd's of London for s20,000, and are constantly patched with tape where the skin has broken and worn at the joints. Between performances he wears socks on his hands for warmth, and uses a protective salve on them at night. Candido's on-stage rhythms are entirely spontaneous and natural, nev- er the same twice for any number. He began his musical career at 14, playing bass and guitar before taking up drumming under his uncle's in- struction. Candido has no immediate plans ahead other than continuing his asso- ciation with the Kenton band and participating in the second Festival of Modern American jazz. Fans are hoping that he will follow his present activities for some time to come, for he adds a refreshing and authentic note to the too often stereotyped Afro- Cuban idiom. Character isnot made in a crisis-it is only exhibited. Church and Foreman Win at Assembly The lights dim, the cameras grind, and The Vamp, a silent movie of the roaring Z0's is enacted on West- port's stage. The tragic melodrama starred such idols as Theda Bara jPeggy Wathenj, john Barrymore jlilorence Snidowj, and Americas Sweetheart Mary Pickford Cludy Anthonyj. This skit was part of an assembly presented by Speech Arts. Also fea- tured in The Vamp were Mary Ann Hamilton and Suzanne Adkins. The main purpose of the assembly was to present the interpretative read- ing contest which was sponsored by Speech Arts. This contest is one of two sponsored annually by the club to promote interest and ability in speech work. john Foreman, a senior, won first honors with his reading of Si- lence: A Fable by Edgar Allen Poe. The second place winner was a junior, Barbara Church, who read Why Did They Fight? by Eric Sevareid. Also participating in the contest were Carol Van Sandt with a humorous reading, The Rest Cure by Patricia Collinge, and Alice South with a se- lection by J. B. Priestley, A City Invincible. Acting as judges for the contest were Mr. Edwin J. King, Miss Marie Brubaker, and Miss Cecile Burton. The four finalists were selected from a group of 36 contestants. Try- out material ranged from ,the hilarious to the very serious. The preliminaries were judged by Miss Dorothy Hilbert, Miss Stella Maddox, and Miss Wilma Wheeland. earning guenfd Valentine Tiger Den .... Feb. I3 P.T.A. Founoler's Day ....

How many substitutes have you had so far? How many have you treated as the Golden Rule states? Probably not as many as you have sent home at night feeling downhearted and wondering why youth is so cruel. Remember, substitute teachers are here to teach! They are doing YOU a favor: if they couldn't come, your time would be wasted for lack of an instructor and your education lessened. They aren't here to be ridiculed and also insulted by students. Westport has always been known as a courteous school so, Mr. and Miss Westporter, do your part. How to Fail a Course QACPJ-Following are -15 easy 9. ways in which to fail a course, as written by Jack Seward for the Ore- gon State Daily Barometer: Use pneumonic devices on every- thing youlearn. Since they are easy to forget, this approach pre- vents your mind from getting cluttered up with stale facts. sible. By changing your mind about the curriculum after school starts, you should be able to avoid classes until the second or third week. 2. Do not bother with a textbook. 3. Put your social life ahead of every- thing elsc. If necessary, cultivate a few friendships in the class. In- teresting conversation should be able to drown out the noise of the lecture. 10. il.

Very poor signs of sportsmanship were displayed at this tense game. Some member of the audience tossed an egg on the court, interrupting the game, and causing the coaches of Westport and Southeast to have to remove it. Neither the parties involved nor the school from which they came is known: but it is very sad to think there is a possibility that someone from Westport would do such a deed. REMEMBER, BASKETBALL IS PLAYED USING A BALL TO BE PUT INTO THE BASKET, NOT EGGS-they don't count as a score. Don't let this happen again, West- porters! One rotten egg can ruin the esteem of the whole basket. So one ugly act such as this, done by only one person, can ruin the whole repu- tation of Westport.

THE WESTPORT CRIER tonnes Wane Wea I Nancy jo Delap and Ben Peterson The Brains and Brawn of West- port are well represented here by Nancy Jo Delap and Ben Peterson, as implied by their titles Best Student and Best Physique on the senior bal- lot. Nancy jo doesnit limit her ability to good grades, a fact proved by the many friends and activities to her credit. ln her years at Westport she has been a member of the business committee in her Freshman year, A.A.U.W., Student Council, A Cap- pella, Speech Arts junior critic, Fall Play, was Secretary of Promethean, and will receive the gold pin-three pearls, of the Honor Society. Listening to classical music and reading vie for top honors in her opin- ion of a pleasing pastime. Next year, Nancy plans to attend college lshe doesn't know where yetl and major in science. Big Ben stands a mighty 6 feet M inches and has played a prom- inent part at Westport since he was elected president of his eighth grade class. Since then, many activities have made Ben a busy boy. He has been secretary of his Sophomore class, Sgt. at Arms during his Junior year, played football, been a member of Student FEBRUARY ll, 1954 I Council and Honor Society, Sgt. at Arms of W Club, and plays basketball. He believes there is nothing like cherry pie to satisfy a hearty appetite, especially after a hard game of pool with Bill Dumortier. Along the line of music, Frankie Lane strikes a pleas- ant note. ln the future he has his eye on the Air Force blue. A glance at their many activities and unique personalities clearly ex- plains how these two outstanding sen- iors earned their place under Who's Who.

In 1915, W. Somerset Maugham wrote Of Human Bondage which many claim as his finest work. This book is a semi-autobiography dealing with the inner feelings of a man, maimed, and handicapped by a club foot The RaZor's Edge stands with Of Human Bondage as one of the great English novels of our time. Maugham presents the story of an individual seeking absolute purihcation of his soul, and the perfect religion.. He achieves the former, and comes near- est to God through a Swami in India. Another fascinating character is El- liott Templeton who is a wealthy gen- tleman striving for a secure position in society. Even when death strikes, Templeton doesn't realize that his goal in life was so trite, and useless to mankind. This absorbing novel takes the reader to London, along the Rivi- era, and into India. Around 1929 Lloyd C. Douglas gave to the world the magnetic novel called The Magnificent Obsession? He also contributed The Robe, White Banners, Disputed Pas- sage, and Forgive Us Our Tres- passes to the literary field. The Magnificent Obsession conveys the realistic story of a young man whose life is saved at the expense of a bril- liant surgeon and dedicates his own, despite his wealth and position, to carry on where the other had ended. Some readers may have seen the mo- tion picture of the same title shown at the Nelson Gallery of Art last year, but you will find that the movie is far less captivating than the fine style of Douglas. A very recent publication of some excellent oldies by Rudyard Kipling is now being sold. It is called Maugham's Choice of Kipling's Best, and includes an introductory essay by Somerset Maugham. This 4 book, published by Doubleday 81 Co., contains sixteen short stories including such favorites as: Without Benefit of Clergys William tlaeConqr1erorg Theyg At the End of the Passages and The Mau Who Was. These are only five of the sixteen fine stories in this excellent volume that you are certain to appre- ciate. Youth looks Ahead We can all talk about the weather but what can be do about it? This subject was further discussed by five students of Mr. Shearer's Aeronautics class on the Youth Looks Ahead program, January 13, on KMBC. The moderator of this program was Doctor Ball, assistant Dean of the Kansas City Junior College, with Mr. Chapman, weather forecaster from the Municipal Airport, answering questions for the students. Those quizzing Mr. Chapman were: Marlin Harmony, Mopsy Hall, Nancy lo Delap, Noel johnson, and john Wood. fdff ihisihiail l at 10 W PM ON eaur0,,,,eisi GET YOUR COPY BY SENDING YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS IO: KANSAS CITY POWER 81 IIGHI C0.

The Creep had its beginning as a London air played after fast jive num- bers to enable dancers to catch their breaths another story says that it is the product of dancers unable to per- form the more complex ballroom stepsg quoting DOWN BEAT mag- azine, the steps are as follows: The partners stay a foot apart. The boy always moves backward two steps and one step to the side . . . each partner places a hand on the other's shoulders they intertwine the fingers of the other hands and point those hands to- ward the floor . . . creeping about the floor in a 'relaxed, graceful fashion'. With Tiger Den dancing in mind, I challenge: This is new? There are about ten different records of the tune circulating, but I was able to hear only three of them, due to the supply and demand problem. Stan Kenton does a progressive version with the usual good Kenton brassworkg the flip is an up-tempoed Tenderly that isn't quite the dish for the fellahs' voices like September Song was. Lee Roy and his band Ireally Ray An- thony's band under his brother Leo's changed namej also do The Creep, but the other side is really better- Midnight Festival has a good jazzy- blue guitar to its Latin-flavored favor. Ted Heath has his Creep cut backed by a Slim jim Creep built on much the same pattern. I wonder if you'd get counterpoint by playing both sides at once. The Three Suns, Art Mooney, Al Romero-a mambo version, Jerry Gray, Ralph Marterie, and probably Les Brown are others cashing in on The Creep. Two new movie albums will pre- serve the music in The Eddie Cantor Story and Miss Sadie Thompson for afterview listening. Eddie's own voice is heard on fifteen of his best-known songs taken from the soundtrack, while Keefe Brasselle plays Eddie in the picture. Sadie's album is due for much controversy, owing to the free- handed dialogue between Sadie and the Reverend Davidson jjose Ferrerj. However, the more musical aspect is not unpleasant, with Leo Diamond and FEBRUARY ll, 1954 his harmonica carrying the already- popular theme throughout, jo Anne Greer's voice jcourtesy Les Brown dubbed in for Rita Hayworth's on the Blue Pacific Blues, The Heat Is On, and Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil. The jacket also lists Hawaiian dances and chants and Ferrer's solemn reading of the 23rd Psalm. Here's some that are listed as up- and-coming and some just good to listen to: Frank Sinatra-f- South of the Border swings nicely backed by Billy May, and My One and Only Love is the kind of song that made Frank famousg ver-ry well done. You Alone has nothing new to offer, but Perry Como pulls it through with his style for things like this. Peggy Lee- Go Where You Go lhope I'm cor- rect on the titlej with Gordon jenk- ins' orchestra on a soft-toned ballad in dialect. Margaret Whiting-- Moon- light in Vermont and I'd say without hearing it that it would be good on the strength of her past work and the excellent song itself. Baby, Baby, Baby -Teresa Brewer sang this re- cently in a movie about redheads, I believes why her fans don't plug it more I don't know. The Commanders -Davy jones is a fairly good bouncy instrumental. Rusty Draper's Native Dancer doesn't concern the race horse but a Brooklyn-born Salome. Charlie Applewhite-Milton Berle's protege has a good voice, and Cab- bages and Kings has a good arrange- ment. This lovely melody, reminiscent of Lucky Old Sun, deserves better lyrics, and Applewhite deserves ap- plause. jill Corey, the little girl with the big publicity, has an honest voice, not a bit pretentious, and her Minne- apolis will probably be a hit soon. Doris Day- Secret Love is pretty, the kind of thing Doris does well, and is somewhat above the average pop tune. Proudly presenting news of one of the best new female vocalists the writer has heard in a long time. Car- men McCrae has a warm, deep, true, forceful way of warblin that is win- ning her praise from all sides. She is even better in person, say eastern night-club goers, than on record, but the rest of the nation will be happy listening to her discs 'til she goes on tour las we hope she will.j She does a superb job on A Foggy Day, sings Wanting You with an unusual beat, maneuvers the difficult Autumn Nocturne exactly if somewhat halt- ingly, and puts a lot into ln Love in Vain. She is backed by a coolly aware group on the first two, and Les El- gart's big band on the others. Inci- dentally, Elgar's band is getting one of the biggest publicity pushes seen in a long while over their 12-inch LP, Sophisticated Swing. Reports are fa- vorable on this Lunceford-type dance band that stresses the two-beat rhythm. Well, I think l'll kimble over in New Directions with Mr. Overton and Mr. Charles. Stay cool, everybody! Month of Birthdays The birthdays of George Washing- ton, The Father of his country , and Abraham Lincoln, The Great Eman- cipator are celebrated in the month of February. In honoring those who were born in February, we seldom mention the Wizard who was destined to become America's greatest inventor, and whose birthday is February l. In his child- hood he failed in school and his mother taught him at home. He acknowledged this training when he said, My mother was the making of me. As a young man he worked his way over the country as a telegrapher and lacking privacy in his boarding house he courted his wife by Morse code on the dinner plates with his fork. In memory of these days, he later nick- named his children Dot and Dash . As the inventor of the incandescent lamp, phonograph, microphone and in- numberable other things we use with no thought as to the genius and work behind them, we owe this man a sa- ute . . .

Built in 1937 The present building was completed in September of 1937 after 21 months of construction, during which 20,000 cubic feet of ready-mixed concrete, 6,300 tons of structural steel, and 576 tons of reinforcing steel went into the structure. The building, originally planned for 32 floors, cost well over six mil- lion dollars and weights 50,000 tons. It is interesting to note that like any other skyscraper, the City Hall has some peculiarities. For instance, when the outside temperature is zero degrees, the building is 443 feet above the side- walkj while on the other hand, when the outside temperature is 100 degrees, the building rises to a height of 443 feet 335 inches. Inside the City Hall Gray marble from Green County, Missouri is used on the lower part of the walls in the corridors and the pub- lic rooms, while the floors are made up of resilient tile. Upon entering either the 11th street or the 12th street entrance, one will immediately notice the highly ornate lobby. It is done in Pyrenees marble from southwestern France and Cam- pania Rose from Knoxville, Tenn. Also glamourizing the huge lobby are the great torches, the two clocks, and the shield of Kansas City inlaid in the center of the floor. Four high speed elevators can whisk a person from the basement to the 29th floor in 30 seconds. The elevator Wins Contest Honors Miss Twila Hegarty of Loretto academy won the American Legion oratorical group contest held January 27 at Westport. After a piece by the junior band, directed by Mr. Fike, Carol Major in- troduced Fielding Lane, a prominent lawyer who explained the yearly con- test's purpose of promoting Ameri- canism and encouraging responsibility toward the duties and privileges of a free citizen. Original orations expounding the formation and soundness of our Con- stitution were given by the five par- ticipants, Larry Lorenz, Rockhurst, FEBRUARY 11, 1954 City Hall doors in the lobby are decorated with murals depicting the four modes of transportation that have served Kan- sas City-the river boat, the auto- mobile, the railroad, and the airplane. City's History Decorates Exterior The sixth floor, instead of having windows has a frieze depicting the his- tory of Kansas City. This mural in stone extends the perimeter of the building. The south front shows the political and social ideals, while the north front deals with industrial de- velopment and the west and east fronts show the discovery of this territory and its hrst settlement respectively. Because there are no windows, the sixth floor is used for the storage of records. There is a motion picture theater-without the popcorn standi on this floor that was to be used by the city movie censor. This has never been used for that purpose, however. It is a long cry from the old sec- ond story ofiices that formerly housed the city officials to the modern City Hall-the nucleus of Kansas City. Stan Kenton to K. C. The man who has worked for the past fifteen years for world-wide ac- ceptance of jazz as an highly-special- ized art form paused in mid-autograph and said somewhat pensively, I think my last vacation was in 1949. But the exhaustive touring and efforts made in this contributory direction have not diminished the energy and determination of Stan Kenton, who recently made a one-night stand in Kansas City with what some critics say is his finest band yet. The leader of a group voted the na- tion's number one jazz band is famous for his fine personality and willing- ness to listen to fans' questions and comments. A tall, lean fellow, Stan recently returned from a tour of Eu- rope that uncovered an astounding Chardell Buckles, Lillis, Judy Master- son, St. Teresa's, Bill Shapiro, South- west, and the winner, Twila Hegarty of Loretto. Mary Frances Watson represented Westport at the contest held at South- west. Four more contests will precede the national finals at Los Angeles, where the winner will be awarded a four-year college scholarship. interest, understanding, and apprecia- tion of modern music among Euro- peans, and to his surprise, the same qualities in Stan's own feelings to- ward the peoples and environments of the Old Countries. European audi- ences have accepted modern music in its own right for a long time, and are much more seriously absorbed in it than most Americans. For some of them, seeing in person the artists whose records they have heard, ana- lyzed, and treasurer for years was a tremendous experiences certain non- English-speaking fans could only lay a trembling hand on his arm and whisper Stanl Kenton thinks the next four or five years will see an increased usage of extended form in jazz, innovated by certain West Coast musicians. Ar- rangements using this basis tend to be free of older patterns of chord pro- gressions, unsuitable improvising, and general disunity of harmonic struc- ture. With these new horizons widen- ing rapidly, Kenton believes educa- tion in the technicalities of music as well as basic talent are absolutely nec- essary for the ambitious musician. In the future are plans for a south- ern-state tour in company with Can- dido, Charlie Parker, and other stars as yet unnamed. Two Views Coutiatted from page2 A part of the pleasure in participat- ing in the interscholastic sporting events is good sportsmanship. Every athlete realizes that success depends upon fairness, and expects his oppon- ent to be as true to the rules as he, himself, strives to be. Yet tempers sometimes flare at a foul or penalty that seems unwarranted, and soon the game becomes one not meritorious to the participants. At a recent basketball game an on- looker threw an egg upon the court, causing quite a controversy. Whether a Westporter or someone on the op- posing side hurled the object is not the point. The point is this: such acts do not reveal good sportsmen, and thus disgrace is shed upon the whole group of spectators associated with the one who is guilty. Our team has been a great credit to Westport this yearg may we be proud to say the same of the rest of the stu- dent body? It is a privilege to be able to participate in such athletic contests, so let's keep a sporting name for West- port, and preserve this privilege. 7 Tigers Blank S'west The Westport Tigers outplayed a fighting Southwest team in the Mu- nicipal Auditorium, january 8, de- feating them with a score of 59-52. With Bill Dumortier sinking the first basket and Mike Jones' snappy ball stealing the game started. West- port opened with a strong court press which gave them a lead of 22-8 in the first quarter. Coach Moore then took out the reg- ular starters, enabling the Indians to pull the score up to 32-24 at the half. Things started looking bad for the Tigers in thc third quarter so the starters were put back into action. Starting cold, they found it hard to build up a very high score, but with Merle Sorenson setting up some good shots for his teammates, and Don Ross putting them in, the Tigers won their TENTH CONSECUTIVE game of the season, including non-league games. The Tigers tried their stalling tac- tics late in the fourth quarter but this didn't last long because Bill Dumorticr was fouled and went to the free shot line. The high scorer for the Tigers was Don Ross with 19 points.

The starters played almost the whole game with few substitutes. The high scorer for the Tigers was Perk- ins, and Beninger for Southwest. The Captains for Westport and Southwest were Leonard Perkins and Parsons, respectively. D0 YOU LIKE T0 SEW?

Manual proved to bc stubborn to defeat in the first half, but yielded to it in the second half, scoring only 5 points to Westport's 37.

THE WESTPORT CRIER the Meatport fitter Strong Tiger Crew Many Participate David Moyfoyy Wins Over Vikes The strong Vikings have shown they haven't much strength against the Terrible Tigers as they were downed in a championship battle, 55- 34, February 11. The Tigers, who haven't been play- ing as well as they were expected finally showed what they really had as they defeated the highly favored Northeast Tall Men to provide the championship for three schools, West- port, Northeast, and Southeast. Westport gained control of the ball from the tip-off and Mike Jones took the ball to make the first basket. After a toss ball, Northeast captured the ball and made a matching basket. John Calia, Northeast then tipped in an- other giving the Vikings a lead of 4-2. Mike Jones was fouled, missed the Hrst basket, and scored on the second going on to score Westport's second and third baskets. Jim Whitefield then stole the ball, broke away from his guard, and ran down the court to score with a lay-up shot, and Jones again stole the ball to score with a lay-up. s Carl Shortino, Viking star and chief hustler, couldn't even spark the team as he had done earlier in a game with Southeast as Northeast seemed to be unable to play a half-way sharp game. The Tigers, displaying their brightest game of the season, outshot, surpris- ingly out-rebounded them and gener- ally outplayed them in every respect. Jim Whitefield and Mike Jones were the scorers of all of Westport's first half held goals, with Whitefield hit- ting six and lones five. The Tigers ended the game, hitting 35.3 per cent while Northeast hit their low mark of the season with only 27 .3 per cent. Enthusiasm and spirits reached a cli- max for the team and students at a Pep Rally held during school hours. Coach Moore presented a speech tothe student body which not only pepped them up but made them very proud of their team and school. Well-timed silence is more eloquent than speech-and most silence is well- timed.

Stout Assembly Honors Anniversary The Boy Scouts of America, now celebrating their 44th birthday, were honored in an assembly held Feb. 12. John Foreman gave a short history of the beginning and progress of this world-wide organization prior to Larry Goetz's humorous account of the Val- ley Forge Jamboree in 1950. John and Larry were two of the Kansas City group that made the long trip and tours of St. Louis, Washington, D. C., and New York. Two films were then shown. The first was taken and narrated by sopho- more John Wheat, and showed scenes tutlent Mayor l David Morton is the newly elected student mayor of Kansas City. David received the vote of confidence from a large majority of Kansas City high school students. He will reign on City .Hall Day, with other students filling appointive and elective positions. l 'i-' 'fi S from Camp Osceola. The second was a professional film of last year's iam- boree held in California. Mr. A. G. Spizzirri, director of pub- lic relations for the greater Kansas City area, concluded the assembly with a short speech emphasizing application of the scout's honor creed to every- one's life. Good music is a vital element in the education of the people. TALENT SHOW MARCH T0 TIGER DEN MARCH T3 TIGER DEN MARCH 27 Charles Laughton Times Worry Wa If George Washington were able, by some miracle, to return to his beloved country, what would he think of the America of 1954? Washington, who had refused to let America set him up as a king because he felt that the people should rule- what would he think of the citizens who are too busy, to lazy, or too dis- interested to vote for their president? Washington, who endured all the hardships and privations of Valley Forge for the cause of American free- dom-what would he think of those Americans who were unwilling to give the pint of blood that could have saved a life in Korea? Washington, who made religion and morality the basis of his everyday liv- ing-what would he think of the Ten Westporters Ten members of Speech Arts have been chosen to represent Westport in the Kansas City Play Festival. The following students will portray the characters in The Torchbearersf' the second act of which is given to: Peggy Wathen, Florence Snidow, Alice South, Judy Anthony, Carole Major, John Foreman, Virgil Broyles, John Wood, Mike jeweler, Larry Geotz. The play is a satire which takes place backstage in a theatre in which a group of wealthy society people are preparing to present a great plan and, thus, bring culture to the ignorant masses. Each of the assembled players feels that he has a great talent to give to the theatre, but in truth their total lack of ability in the field is appalling. The difficulties that evolve as they endeavor to present their masterpiece -the telephone bell that will not ring, the mustache that is continually fall- ing olf, the young man who calmly walks off the stagb and faints, and the embarrassing incident where two of the actors get wedged in a door, and shrngton crime, vice, and corruption which one finds in the glaring headlines of the daily ewspaper and blazing over the newscasts of the radio and television stations throughout our nation. George Washington would undoubt- edly be amazed at the mechanized mar- vels of the twentieth century-rock- cts, jet planes, radar, atomic devices, and the other wonders that man has invented. Yes, he would be amazed but also saddened too, to think that such examples of rnan's ingenuity should be used for man's destructiong to find that man, rapidly progressing in medi- cine, science, industry, and other fields of human endeavor, has failed to progress in the most important field of all- the love of man for man, the love of man for God. to Festival are, for a time, unable to make their exits-these, and many more such dif- ficulties tend to make The Torch- bearers a very humorous and fast- moving play. The faculty director for the play will be Miss Dorothy Hilbert, Speech Arts' sponsor. But most of the actual direction will be done by Nancy Jo Delap, student director, since the club feels that, as far as possible all the work on the play should be done by Speech Arts members. Therefore, all scenery, lighting, sound effects, make- up, costurning, etc., will be taken care of by club members. Speech Arts plans to present The Torchbearers not only at the Kansas City Play Festival, but also as an as- sembly for Westport sometime in March. ...l-, Music is the fine aft which, more than any other, ministers to 'human welfare.

A reading of the classics was given by the noted actor, Charles Laughton in a special appearance at the Plaza Theatre, Tuesday morning, February 2. Laughton, famed on stage, screen and video for his character portrayals -notably that of Henry Vlll and as Captain Bligh in Mutiny on the Bounty -gave a performance that held his listeners in rapt attention. A master of histrionics and a forceful dynamic speaker, he used only a table, stool and an armful of books as props. His manner was nonchalant with an ease that made his presentation seem impromptu. Among the selections he read were: nonsense poems, fables from the writ- ings of james Thurber, Thomas Wolfeg The Emperor's Nightingale by Hans Christian Anderson, and a highlight was his reading of the Devil's speech from Bernard Shaw's Dora lamp in Hell. He gave a bit from his role in the movie Rembrandt, His own interpretation of a Biblical story from the Book of Daniel was most inspirational. As his closing number Mr. Laugh- ton gave his full power of oratorical ability to Lincoln's immortal Gettys- burg Address. The Pen ls Mightier . .. Never speak of words as if they were minor weapons. Words have ac- complished more than all the bombs ever dropped. Moses wrote the Ten Commandments on tablets of stone from divine inspiration. The tablets of stone have long been dust, but the words live. Man's greatest and noblest works of genius built from brick and mortar crumble and perish, but words do not die. Charles Laughton- When Lauglrton Reads the Bible Coronet Magazine-August, 1952 ..-.--- Experience teaches that music does not remain at such places where the devil rules. THE WESTPORT CRIER Westport dee Wea Stewart Hoch and Mopsy Hall Dancing her way into the spotlight this issue is Westport's popular Mau- vereen Hall. And no wonder she's dancing for Mopsy was chosen Best Dancer on the Senior Ballot. During her years at Westport the meetings of Speech Arts, Stage and Screen, Pep Club, and Promethean Literary Society have been graced by her sparkling personality. She is treas- urer of Promethean and also served as Inter Society representative. But Mopsy has not let social ac- tivities interfere with her scholastic rating as she is a member of the Honor Society and has merited the gold pin with 2 pearls. Naturally music accompanies danc- ing and our Who's Who celebrity proves this by being a member of the A Cappella Choir and Glee Club. It seems her favorite pastime is listening to music, preferably that of Nat King Cole. When asked as to what her favorite food was she replied, I love anything chocolate and steak. After graduation Mauvereen hopes to make her secret ambition a reality and become a writer. MARCH 2, 1954 A warm smile and a friendly hello for everyone have won for Stewart Hoch his place on the Senior Ballot, Typical. Being President of Wilson Literary Society, a member of W club, Span- ish Club, representative to Boy's State, and a member of the Honor Society are just a few of the many activities of this senior boy. In addition to these Stewart has played varsity football two years receiving honorable men- tion and a position on the All-Star second team. Stewart's favorite music is that of Liberate, and George too of course. No wonder then that his hobby is playing the piano or listening to one being played. In this same category is his favorite song, Malaguena to which he adds hope it's spelled right. The future plans of this active Westporter include two years at jun- ior College and then, if possible, to finish his education at another college or university. Devore President Ol Class ol '58 As the gavel falls we find Darrel Devore president of the class of 1958. Darrel is very deserving of this posi- tion as was shown by the number of votes he received in the election which was recently held. Geraldine Rose, also a very outstanding student will carry out the duties of vice-president. The remaining officers, all of whom rank high in the class are: Karl Hudson, secretaryg Abba Coughenour, treas- urerg and Joyce Tobin, sergeant-at arms. Representing the eighth grade on the executive board of the Student Council are: John Gaffney, Myra Mather, Patty Wiggins, and Al Guil- ford. The business committee is com- posed of: jane Pollock, Judy Penny, Richard Cox, and Lianne Oesterreich.

The 14th Annual Hamid-Morton world's largest indoor Police Circus, opens in the Arena of the Municipal Auditorium, Tuesday, March 2, and continues through March 7. This year, as in all past years, Col. B. Morton, co-owner and master of ceremonies of the circus, is bringing many new acts to Kansas City. Star performers of the circus world have been assembled from Arabia, Cuba, Mexico, Sweden, Holland, China and Japan. Variety in the entertainment has an appeal to every person, from the little children to the mothers, fathers, grandmothers, and grandfath- ers. In fact, at the circus all are chil- dren again, regardless of age. 4 If we used even a few of the super- latives necessary to describe the Police Circus, we would mention colossal, stupendous, super, sensational, breath- taking, and indescribablel We are not going to do it. Let's just say that the Police Circus is a thoroughly enter- taining and wholesome amusement which appeals to everyone who likes a circus. Since the hazardous occupation of police service makes it difficult for of- ficers to obtain insurance at the usual rates, the benefit fund proves a bless- ing to bereaved families, since pay- ments have been increased to 32500.00 in each death, thanks to the income from the annual circus. The circus will open with the night performance March 2. Night shows will continue through Sunday, March 7. Matinees will be held beginning Wednesday, March 3, and continuing daily through Sunday. Box office at the Municipal Audi- torium is open for the reserving of seats for all performances. Past exper- ience shows the night shows Friday and Saturday nights are sell-outs and many persons are disappointed. Cap- tain Kellerstrass urges that those who can select the performances earlier in the week in order to get the choicest seats. Again this year ten thousand or more underprivileged children and youngsters from orphan homes will be guests of the Police Benefit Association at the matinee on Friday. The problem of transporting these thousands of children has been solved through the use of buses, the cost of which is financed through contributions by many prominent business and profes- sional men. All persons living in the Kansas City area who plan to attend the circus are urged to obtain their reserved seat tickets without delay. The top price of the best seats is only 32.00. The lowest price t1.22 and the intermediate price is 31.60. These prices include tax. TOEDMAN CABS, INC. Radio Controlled Cubs 24 HOUR SERVICE 3834 Moln WE 1500 A Over 27 Yeors of Dependable Service Show Features Basketball Team Westport's basketball team and Mr. E. Harris were featured in a radio broadcast presented to the student body in an assembly Feb. 5. With Mr. Harris moderating, the boys discussed athletics and their ef- fect on the players' personalities in a tape-recorded program heard later on the Living Democracy Today. Most of the boys agreed that learning to get along with others was one of the chief benehts of taking part in school sports. As master of ceremonies, Alice South introduced Mrs. Arcka Mason- bring, who presented Mary Frances Watson with a twenty-five dollar bond for her participation in the American Legion oratorical contest. Preceding the broadcast, Florence Snidow, senior class president, made a short speech on behalf of the faculty and cheerleaders commending West- porters for their good conduct at re- cent games. Alice South them dismissed the au- dience to classes. The American Problems classes of all the high schools of Kansas City have a weekly program on WHB each Friday from 2:00 to 2:15 and Febru- ary Sth was Westport's turn. The bas- ketball team was featured with Mr. Ed Harris as moderator. The subiect under discussion was sportsmanship. Some of the sub-topics were: iii Time used in athletics, l2J Schoalstic ratings and physical exams, lil Westport basketball stars of other years, l4J ,Value of team spirit and cheerleaders, and CSJ What athletics means ro the boys who play. Westport will be on the air again April 9th when the Drivers Education classes are featured. D0 YOU LIKE TO SEW?

Sue Downer: No, how many? Gary Perry: All of them. Fred Sindt iholding nosel: Oh noi Don Jeter: Do you know what our forefathers said when they saw the Indians coming? Bob Brooks.: No, what? Don Jeter: Here come the Indians! Our Georgie also picked up some famous quotes with a twentieth cen- tury twist: I'Ie who hesitates didn't get the ' Il Joke.

MARCH 2, 1954 Wine, women, and who can sing with all 'them dames'. Georgie had some suggestions for how to get your name in the Crier: 1. Perform a good deed for Westport. 2. Write a book. 3. Win a contest. 4. Have lots of money to donate to the Crier-Herald fund. The 'first three may be dropped if the individual is excelling in number four. George left with this closing re- minder: Let's all -patronize our ad- vertisers. They help us to make this paper possible and also will make the dream of a bigger Herald become a reality. Get behind them and show them our appreciation. Wehya! Wafrteet Dear Harriet, I haven't been able to sleep at night lately, so I've had to sleep in class. My teachers, instead of being glad that I am quiet, have been objecting strenu- ously. fit must be my snoringl I-low can I get to sleep at the proper time? Hopefully Yours, Desperate Dear Don Ross, f I know it was you.l just read to the end of this column before you go to bed. If that doesn't put you to sleep, your ease is hopeless. Harriet Harriet dear, I am slowly but surely getting the name of a snub because I refuse to wear my glasses. I am so near-sighted that I elon't recognize my friends at a distance of more than three feet. An- other difiiculty is that I keep running into telephone poles and waving at fireplugs. At a recent dance I spent 45 minutes dancing with a bass violin. My question is thisiHarriet, do you think I should wear my glasses? Miss Total Darkness of 1954 Dear Mopsy Hall, Of course not. Everyone knows that boys dou't make passes at lasses with glassesf' I have the perfect solution. All you have to do when you see a dim shape in front of you, is to drawl in a low, throaty voice, Hello, dar- ling! This will please all the girls and boys that you know fespecially the boysl and no doubt win you many new friends. The only flaw is that you might not be able to tell teachers from students. Oh well, you can't have everything. Harriet Choose Traditional Gowns Westport seniors, in a recent voting, chose to have the traditional blue caps and gowns by an overwhelming ma- jority. Measurements were taken February 10, at which time we found some in- teresting statistics. The girl and boy requiring the smallest cap and gown are Sally Miller and Larry Goetz: the largest cap, Ruth Milliean and Ben Peterson. The girl and boy with the shortest gowns are Melba Larson and Bom Hughes: the largest gowns, Don- na Alsin and Ben Peterson. And WeQuote Question: What would you say if the school caught on fire? Jim Maret, Senior: I would try to save my faithful, companion, Kenny Millin, because, my gosh, how could I get to Olathe Naval base without Kenny's car.

Heading the editorial section of the Herald are Charles Krause, Suzanne Adkins, Mary jo Hodges. The job of keeping the account books up to date falls on the shoulders of Martha Palmgren, Gloria Schlanker, and Mary Bess Chaney. In charge of soliciting ads are Lenera Kee, Shirley Cannady, and Carol White.

Not only did the second se- mester bring, as usual, a new set of representatives and alternates, but changes and additions also occurred in oihcers, committee heads, execu- tive board, and all-city representatives. Ben Peterson, now a C.O.E. student and therefore unable to serve on the executive board of the Student Coun- cil, resigned from the board and from his job as secretary of the Council. The vacancy of the oiiice of secre- tary caused a change in the list of oiiicers. The ofiicers now serving are: President-Larry Goetz i Vice-President-Christine Rui Secretary-Dave Buf Treasurer-Judy Anthony Sergeant-at-Arms-Bob Mace Ben's resignation also left a senior vacancy in the executive board which has been filled by Homer Riggs. I-Iomer was elected by all the members of the senior class who are serving at this time in the Student Council. The four eighth grade members of the executive board have been elected by their classmates, and will undoubt- 6 'Tis with our judgments as our watches,- None go just alike yet each believes his own. Alexander Pope edly prove to be valuable additions to the Council. They are: Myra Mather Al Guilford Pat Wiggins Joyce Tobin Still another election took place which pertained to the Student Coun- cil-Lillian Bowser was elected the junior continuity member of the All- City Student Council. Lillian is now one of the three students who repre- sent Westport on this Council, the other two being Larry Goetz and Christine Rui. Since Mary Ann Hamilton is no longer serving as a representative, the chairmanship of the welcoming com- mittee, which she had formerly headed, was delegated to Arlene Yadon and Beverly Mace. Other committee chairmen remained the same. The next Tiger Den will be held February 26 on which date the open- ing round of the ping-pong tourna- ment will be held. The tournament will be continued at the two proceed- ing Dens. On March 27, trophies will be awarded to the winners of both the singles and doubles. The Tiger Den committee asks the students .of Westport for their co- operation in making the Tiger Den an even better one. They feel that West- porters, enjoying all the pleasures of Tiger Den, should be willing to help in cleaning up afterwards. At the present time, the eight or ten members of the Tiger Den committee not only spend an entireday decorating for the Den, but are foiced to stay afterwards to put away the ping-pong tables and band stands. So, if one of the com- mittee members should ask you to spend a few minutes doing this work, do your share. Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Education is the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men use one or two faculties out of the score with which they are en- dowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool of every faculty- how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes.-H. W. Beecher. Debate On Presidents Election Resolved: That the President of the United States should be elected by a direct vote of the people, was a much debated question on February 4, when several of the members of Mr. King's public speaking classes visited Paseo High. Those debating from Westport were: Bob Vegiard, Gary Teegarten, Lenore Leager, Carol Van Sandt, Mary Frances Watson, Rose Marie Darling, Mary Ann Hamilton, Carol Major, Mary Montgomery, and Patsy Kephart. A good time was had by all West- porters who went to visit as well as debate. On February 9, students from West- port went to Southwest to debate on the same subject. Those from West- port were: Lenore Kee, Sally Taylor, Peggy Wathen, Mopsy Hall, john Wood, Dick Campbell, Florence Sni- dow, Judy Anthony, Terry Murphy and Cherlyn Hughes.

The Tigers were considerably more experienced in playing since the Paseo team is chiefly composed of sopho- mores, thus giving the Tigers the very good chance for scoring. The Ross brothers were playing well together, while the Sorenson brothers were fouling each other, Merle of Westport, and his brother Russell, of Paseo that is. The game was started as Westport took the ball on the tip-off and Bill Dumortier scored the first basket. In the fourth quarter with only two minutes left, with a score of 69, three Tigers dropped three consecutive bas- kets, Don Ross, Jack Little, and Jack Ross. Lyman Waddill, with a charity, hit the record-breaking point with six- teen seconds left and later matched it with a free shot. Jack Little made the final basket of the game bringing the score to 78 to 39. Leading by a rather large margin at the half, 16 to 39, the Westport line witnessed a good deal of substituting as there wasn't much danger in falling behind.

Southeast led throughout the entire game, even from the start when Kent Bryan sank 2 baskets early in the hrst q11oI'tC1'. Bill Dumortier broke the dead pace for the Tigers, making their first basket. Westport didn't seem to be able to hit their target at all, hitting only 18.4 per cent, while the Knights were not able to miss, hitting 51 per cent. Westport was still in the game at the end of the first quarter with a score of 15-14, Southeast. They weren't so far behind at the half that it wouldn't have been possible to catch up, with a score of 21-10, but they couldn't come through. Although very few technical fouls have been called in the interscholastic League, Westport had 3 charged to them. Two on one player, the final one putting him out of the game. The Tigers didn't have much of a chance on rebounds because of a slight height disadvantage, but they succeed- ed in stealing the ball several times, fouling heavily in doing so. lt was not too profitable. Westport definitely was not up to its standard sharp ball handling, mak- ing victory much easier for Southeast. High scorers for the teams were, Kent Bryan, Southeast's key-man, with an impressive 33 points, and Don Ross, of Westport with 11. -..

C. Sris'eWf Ufile Kansas City audiences have added their enthusiastic cheers to the exuber- ant reception that the Blevins Davis- Robert Breen production of Porgy and Bess has won during its Amer- ican-European tour which began in the summer of 1952. Superb dramatic expression-conf vincing and yet imaginative lyrics, vigorous music coordinated to every movement of body, mind, and soul- are woven into a custom-made gar- ment for DuBose I-Ieyward's novel- turned-play-turned-opera of South Carolinan Negro life in Catfish Row. Settings are a technical and artistic triumph for Wolfgang Roth. George Gershwin was at the height of his career and well on his way to major composing, when his masterful orchestration of Porgy and Bess was first presented during the 1935-36 sea- son. Undoubtedly the score and fea- tured songs of this folk opera will be as strong in immortalizing the names of George and lyricist Ira Gershwin as will be his other major works, Rhapsody in Blue, An American in Paris, and Concerto in F. Heyward's is an intensely human story of Porgy, a crippled beggar who takes in and protects a good-hearted but weak-willed woman named Bess, abandoned by her hard-living boy friend, Crown, after his crap-game killing of a well-liked resident of Cat- fish Row. Bess grows to care deeply for the honest, gentle Porgy, but is constantly tempted by the devilish Sportin' Life and his happy dust fcocainel. Bess becomes a straggler on an innocent picnic on Kittiwah Island when she is surprised by Crown, who comes out of hiding to destroy what resistance to evil her life with Porgy has built up. Bess becomes delirious, but recovers after Porgy and his friends pray for her. The same after- noon a hurricane orphans the baby of a hsherman and his wife. Huddled with the praying neighbors, Bess mothers the baby and refuses to return to Crown, who blasphemously tries to break up the group. After the storm, Crown returns to kill Porgy, but Porgy springs upon his back and slays his tormenter. In the morning, Porgy is taken away to identify Crown's body, and in his absence, Sportin' Life con- vinces Bess that Porgy is gone for good. Exhilerated by a dose of happy dust, she leavesfor New York with him. Porgy returns, laden with gifts for his friends, and a red gown for Bess. Sorrowfully, his friends tell him that Bess has left, but he calls for the goat that pulls his cart, and with the red gown over his shoulders, begins his long trip north to find his Bess. Each member of the cast seems to be living, not acting his part. Even keen observation can barely disclose where planned theatrical gesture or diction melts into a misleading nat- uralness on the part of every person- ality. Cab Calloway capers through Sportin' Life's part enjoyably. John McCurry is the mammoth Crown, and Leontyne Price, Elizabeth Foster, and Irene Williams alternate in Bess' part. Porgy is portrayed by LeVern Hutch- erson, Leslie Scott, or Irving Barnes. Almost all members of the cast are seasoned players having wide range of abilities. Westporters Win Awards Westport was represented by Shirley Baxley, Judy Rausin, Lucile Regilmen, Mary Jo Hodges and Sheril Todd, in the National Scholastic and Ansco high school art and photographic con- WSL. Shirley Baxley was awarded a Gold Key for photographic achievement. Judy Rausin was also awarded a Gold Key for her art work. A person is not eligible to enter the National Contest unless they have won a Gold Key in the regional contest. Good luck to our representatives in the National Contest.

Westporters Air Problems Three girls from Miss Bonney's first and fourth hour Family Living classes along with three qualified boys gather- ed in one of KCMO's recording stu- dios on February 24 to make a tran- scription on How Can Youth Choose Wisely for Marriage? which was aired on February 27. Members of the panel were: Carol Van Sandt, Sue Downer, Shirley Can- nady, john Wood, Larry Goetz, and John Foreman. They answered questions asked by Dr. Prevey, who is in charge of Fam- ily Life in Kansas City. The questions included: How long should one know the person before marriage, what should one consider in selecting a mate, when is one ready for marriage? and Should the parents help? Responsibility . . . A Teenagers Asset Responsibility is an asset few teen-agers possess. Being responsible is one way a person can be grown up. If someone can tell you to do something and then forget about it in the knowledge that it will be done you have reached an adult level of maturity in that respect. A teen-ager that can take more than his or her share of responsibility in school work as well as in extra-curricular activities is better liked and admired by everyone who comes in contact with him or her. The person that can handle responsibility is the person who receives the better job and the higher acclaim in that job. While you are still in high school is the time to learn how to shoulder the t'esponsibiIity that will face yott every day of your future life. Brotherhood In the World Community Again, during the week of February 21 through February 28, we were priv- ileged to observe Brotherhood Week, sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and jews, as truly symbolic of the better understanding, friendship, and cooperation among all the citizens of the world. Seldom, if ever, before in the history of our nation and our city has the need been greater for a unified people joined together in bonds of true understanding and sympathy. Our com- munity would be a better place to live in if all citizens would reflect in their lives standards of justice and good will that brotherhood implies. Brotherhood should prevail not just lor one week, but for always. lt deserves the support of all Americans. j Victor Berline ol Paris ' 3438Vz Brdwy. .lE6TT3 ll SOUTHSIDE BOOK Those on the smart side all shop at Southside 81 SUPPLY 210 East 39th St. WE 9805 PAUL'S LUNCH G I B S O N'S lTI :':.

At a recent meeting of representa- tives, Miss Brubaker outlined the work done by members, and how contribu- tions are spent. About 510,000 was spent to install elevators for The Chil- dren's Convalescent Home at 40th and Warwick, while over t20,000 pro- vided books and school supplies to children of the flood disaster families in 1951. Educational Gift Boxes are sent each year to children overseas, and at Christmas time stockings, filled with gifts, are sent to nearby veter- ans' hospitals.

THE WESTPORT CRIER WWW Wane Was Katie Wright and Chuck Krause The title of Best Athlete, a spec- tacular flare for photography, and a long list of activities are shared by these two winning personalities, Katie Wright and Chuck Krause. Friendly, ambitious Katie was born in Washington, D. C., on january 20, 1936. Our popular seniors habits in- clude eating oranges and frosties at Valentines. It seems her No. 1 song in the mu- sical department is, Birth of the Blues. Monty Clift tops her list of movie idols. Katie takes part in a wide range of activities. Among them Katie has serv- ed as president and secretary of Pep Club, president and secretary of Stage and Screen, a member of Promethean Literary Society and Speech Arts, on the junior and senior business commit- tees, has received the Large Shield for participation in intramurals, and was chosen Best Girl Athlete on the senior ballot. She also found time to earn the silver pin of the Honor So- ciety. In Katie's spare time she enjoys drawing clever posters for school, play- ing the piano and organ and is mad about ballet dancing. You'll also had her yelling her lungs out at any foot- ball or basketball game. Upon graduation Katie plans to at- tend college and major in liberal arts. The talented Chuck Krause, noted for his journalistic ability, shares the honors in this week's issue. He was born in Lake Forest, near Chicago, Illinois, on july 24, 1936, not with a silver spoon in his mouth, but probably a silver typewriter in his hands. His extra-curricular activities include editor of both the Crier and MARCH 19, 1954 Herald, photographer for three years, editor of the Browning literary publi- cation, inter-society representative of Browning Literary Society, chaplain and treasurer of Hi-Y. Ray Anthony tops his favorite in bands and Dancing in the Dark and Ebb Tide by the Ink Spots are his choice in records. Steaks rank a hrst in the line of food. Most of Chucks spare time is spent in room 4, working on the '54 Herald or in the dark room. After graduation, Chuck plans to enter Kansas City University and then to M.U. to major in-journalism, what else. D0 YOU LIKE T0 SEW?

We certainly would have applauded Pat Rooney's fancy steps and clicking heels iMary Montgomeryj and the cute little Poo-poo-pe-doo girl Helen Cane Q Mary Bess Chaneyj. Who could resist a sigh as the shiek, Rudolph Valentino iMary Ann Hamiltonj stole the heart of the dancing girl ljudy Anthonyj and disposed of the villain iFlorence Snidowj. You would not forget the Charleston as done by jo- lene Hammons, Lillian Bowser, Lenore Yeager, Ann Dudley, and joy Cough- enour in full 20's regalia. At the end of the program there would be time to admire the stylish flapper dresses worn by the fashion-conscious audi- ence. Then you would bid goodbye to the age of Mary Pickford, Clara Bow, etc. and mosey upstairs to become your 1954 self and enjoy Dana's party. A little less wild but nonetheless fun. The always popular pastime of eating was a feature attraction, then an en- joyable version of the scavenger hunt. A little tired from 30 years of party going in one day, you have till the next Tuesday to recover--then to another, the Pundit rush party. And Pundit presented a very good program for the prospective members. Participating were two girls Q always popularj Chris- tine and Betty Ruf, singing of course. Ginger Ebert danced, another favorite. Aside from the musical line, Lucille Miller and Donna Payne staged a skit. Sally Krause, Lucille Miller, and Nancy Conally ithree of the girls from the talent showj did their interpretation of Tennessee Wig Walk. And so ends our tour of the rush parties.

Mak- ing one of the shots, Westport took the lead which they relinquished only in the last few minutes of the game. Northeast then gained possession of the ball and took it down to their ter- ritory where they bungled their chances for a basket and Mike Jones tossed the ball in for the Tigers. With a lay-up, john Calia scored the first Viking points and brought the score to 3-2, Westport. Dale Maddox then fouled Bill Dumortier who made one point and he then fouled Mike jones who also made his goal. Don Ross gained possession of the ball and was fouled as he put it in and also made the free shot, bringing the score to 8-2. Dumortier and Calia got into a scramble under the Northeast basket and a double foul was called, each scored. After being fouled and missing, jim Whitefield made a long shot from the right court. Tim Hawk tried a lay-up and missed but the ball was tipped in, thus bring- ing the score to 10-4, which was only the Vikings second score. Jim Whitefield again made a long shot from the left of the court and Jim Hoffman made a matching score, Carl Shortino stole the ball and drop- ped one in, and john Calia was fouled and made the point, bringing the score to 12-9, giving the Tigers a very small margin. The first quarter ended, 16-15 as the Vikes had started firing late in the first period but Bill Dumortier started Westport again as he scored first in the second quarter. Westport's starters were kept in with no substitution un- til 2:28 in the second quarter. In the third period, Carl Shortino, Northeast, stole the ball, and made a lay-up bringing the score to 32-36. He then repeated with a lay-up making it 38-37. Shortino then drove the ball down to Northeast territory and handed it to jim Hoffman who laid it in to give Northeast their first lead, 38-37. 4 Don Ross was fouled and made the shot bringing the score to a 38-38 tie. Whitefield was awarded two points when jim Hoffman hit the net on his shot, Bill Wyckoff was fouled and tossed one in, at 0:01. Mike jones fouled Jim Hoffman, who put it in to bring the score to 39-41 at the end of the third quarter. The fourth quarter was the real thriller. Westport opened with jim Whitefield scoring first for the Ben- gals. Whitefield again seored and Dale Maddox was fouled and scored with two charities, bringing the score to 43-45. Bill Wyckoff scored on a long set shot and Calia was fouled, made one point and again scored, giving the Vikes their second lead of the night, 48-47. Don Ross rebounded and put Westport back on top 49-48. Jim Hoffman took Northeast ahead, 50-49 with a lay-up and went to the free line and missed, but Dale Maddox sunk a charity giving Northeast their last lead, 51-49. Northeast then began fouling heav- ily which proved so costly that they lost the game because of it. Tire first foul was made by John Calia, and Bill Durnortier made his first shot but not the second. He rebounded though and while in the act of shooting, he was fouled by Walter Dods. Making the first shot again he tied the score 51-51. Sorenson was then fouled and sunk both to bring Westport back up again, 53-51. Northeast took the ball but had to give it up as the carrier was travel- ing with it. Westport went into a stall with 5 seconds left, while doing so, Ross was fouled and tossed in both, cinching a Tiger win. After the game, first, second, and third place trophies were presented. The third berth went to R. T. Coles who defeated Southwest for the hon- ors. Carl Shortino, acting captain for the night, received Northeast's second place trophy, and Coach Jim Moore ac- cepted Westport's FIRST PLACE TROPHY.

H. Holloway was the high- light of the assembly which opened the first day of the boys, return and also the return of a substantial portion of non-team class members. This was only a part of the wel- come that awaited Westport's popular basketball team. Streamers and stars suspended from the front-hall ceiling were inscribed with names of coaches, boys, and managers. A Crier extra was circulated through the halls. The cheerleaders opened the assem- bly with a cheer which, though loud, was a little hard to manage with so many hoarse throats. Lillian Bower, alternate cheerleader, followed with a cheer for the cheerleaders. Before the presentation of the tro- phies Peggy Wathen told of the trip to the Cape and back, made by about 89 students, and of the rather hectic life in the grade-school gymnasium where the girls spent two nights. Peggy forgot to mention her dance at dawn but perhaps it was inde- scribable. Suzanne Adkins summarized activ- ities relating to the game, one of which was the gigantic tiger painted by Eu- gene Stokes C521 that was used at the games and assembly. Danny Acuff presented a humorous report on the Cape capers of the boys. A review of how the team spent some of their time was handled by Merle Sorensen. Thanks expressed to Mr. and Mrs. Toevs and the other sponsors who made the trip possible for the 89 who left Wednesday and those who left Saturday, was sincerely meant by those who were lucky enough to go. Coach Moore commended the won- derful spirit and cooperation of both the team and cheering section who were acknowledged at Cape Girardeau as a credit to their school. Mr. Sloan seconded this statement. After an appropriate number by Mr. Fike and the band, March of Champions, the members of the team were recognized.

These words echoed through the auditorium as the sec- ond of the 1954 talent assemblies took the lime light on the morning of March 10. Introdtrced by the Master of Cere- monies, George Bilby, some of West- port's most talented pupils took the stage to entertain the students and faculty. Leading off the parade of talent, was Lynn I'Iarrod, a junior, who did a nov- elty tap dance to the tune of Bell A Note ol Thanks Actions speak louder than words! and when Mr. and Mrs. jay Toevs went into action, nearly a hundred Westporters were organized into a well-behaved group that won praise for its good conduct as well as its school spirit and hne basketball team. When students here learned that our team would go to the state tourna- ment at Cape Girardeau, nearly every- one was eager to make the long trip, but transportation and lodging prob- lerns were unsolved until Mr. Toevs chartered busses and obtained permis- sion for Westporters to use two Cape Girardeau school gyms for sleeping quarters. Aided by Mrs. McGee, Mrs. Bure, and Mrs. Sloan acting as chap- erones, the Toevs not only got the group bundled onto the busses to go down and return, but also obtained tickets and seats for our group, took care of other Westporters who came down unprepared with bedding, bought material for a group to make eighty small megaphones for the cheer- ing squad and a larger banner bearing our school seal, designed and painted by alumnus, Eugene Stokes. With just a few restrictions, these hard-working people kept the group in line with results that are a fine credit to the name of Westport. To Mr. and Mrs. Toevs, Mrs. Sloan, Mrs. Bure, and Mrs. McGee, we, the pupils of Westport extend warm and sincere thanks for your unselfish, un- derstanding efforts toward making this trip a wonderful experience for so many of us. Bottom Blues. The spot light was then turned on Joyce Tobin, who selected Vienna, My City of Dreams as her piano solo. Two freshmen girls, Cathy Wrobel and Barbara West, enchanted the audience by singing Side by Side. The stage was then cleared to make room for jo Ann Lacy and Shirley Powell, who demonstrated the law of gravity, what goes up, must come down, by expertly tossing batons around the stage. Even the parents got into the act, as Ronald Philgreen's father accom- iCorrlirrrrrrl on page 51 tudents Entertain at Wadsworth Eleven Westport students were recently selected to present an evenings enter- tainment at the Wadsworth Veterans' Hospital. The performers were: Joyce Scott, with a vocal solo, a piano selection by Mary Jo Hodges, Katie Wright's dance interpretation of Syncopated Clock, a vocal duet by the Philgreen twins, Nanci Philgreen with a piano rendition of Rhap- sody in Blue, and a record impersonation by the Five Blottos-Florence Snidow, Peggy Wathen, Judy Anthony, Mary Ann Hamilton, and Suzanne Adkins. Scholastic Ability Shown It is only proper that outstanding scholastic ability should be recognized. For that reason, the American Asso- ciation of University Women has sponsored Scholasticae Centum, an organization composed of four out- standing senior, junior, and sophomore girls from each high school in Kan- sas City. Candidates for membership are judged not only on their scholastic ability, but on regular attendance, col- lege interest, leadership ability, and the caliber of programs carried. The girls who are thus chosen are invited to attend brunches, parties, and teas given by the University women.

Thus began the oration which was given first place in the an- nual Speech Arts oration contest. The contest, which has become a Westport tradition, was won by Peggy Wathen, a senior. Her selection was Mark Antony's Address at the Grave- side of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. Second place was awarded to George Bilby, also a senior, who gave Pat- rick Henry's Call to Arms. Judges for the contest were Miss Dorothy Hilbert, Miss Cecile Burton, Miss Mary S. Wheeler, and Miss Marie Brubaker. Alumnus Heads Drive David R. Clark, son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard T. Clark, 5801 Terrace Street, was chairman for his residence, Dabney House, at the California In- stitute of Technology in last week's Consolidated Charities Drive. Dabney House members won the competition of the largest contribu- tion for the second consecutive year. They gave 8965 ofthe 83364 total, to be donated to the World University Service, the American Heart Associa- tion, and the Pasadena Community Chest. Members of the faculty served and entertained the members of Dabney House at dinner Thursday. Twelve professors donned waiter's jackets to serve the dinner and others provided chamber music during the dinner. Dr. L. A. DuBridge, Caltech President, acted as master of ceremonies for the after-dinner entertainment which fea- tured skits and music by members of the faculty.

This was all the bait needed to bring anxious anglers from Miss Jensen's sophomore class and Miss Marie Bru- baker, sponsor of the Westport Junior Red Cross, with her class, to the party. The scene of the activity was not exactly a bubbling brook but a white partition across one corner of the gym- nasium on which swam purple and orange fish made by Jane and behind which were the fish. Though they were hooked by means of poles and nets, none of these fish had fins for they were really white elephants brought by other members of the class. Hunt- ing licenses were ten cents or more. The prize catch of all was the fish bowl full of money which these girls raised for the Red Cross.

Westport did exceptionally well this year, says Miss Brubaker, sponsor of the Junior Red Cross activities. Home rooms collected ii364.34 through selling candy, cakes, papers, and having a fish pond. Miss Brubaker's home room led all others, in collecting i48.36. The film Answer The Call, dis- tributed by the Junior Red Cross, was shown six times on March 4.

Then, the girl who seemed to be the most popular accompanying pian- ist, Barbara Coonce, got the chance to do her own number, Deep Purple, on the piano. The human pretzel,', Ginger Ebert, did an acrobatic act, accompanied by Stewart Hoch at the piano. The humorous side of things was presented by jackie Granger, as she did a reading entitled Two Chances. Carole McCullough pleased the au- dience by playing When Day Is Done and Tico Tico on the ma- rimba. The girl everyone thought was a refugee from a harem, was really Carol Bialucha who did a tap dance. The assembly was then turned over to the popular Westport Kids, who are always a welcome addition to any talent show, amateur or professional. Because he is so small and so hard to find, the MC almost forgot little Bob- by Ruf, the youngest member of the group, who wowed the audience by singing Your Cheatin' Heart. From these two talent shows, a group of seven acts was chosen to represent Westport in various ex- change assemblies in other high schools. The group is as follows: The Westport Kids, Beverly Garbee, Ginger Ebert, Lynn Harrod, The Five Blottos, Carole McCullough, and Joyce Scott. AndWeQuote Question: Should Westport have regular track meets and why? Barbara Edwards, Sub-Freshman: Yes, I think it would be very nice for regular track meets. Most of the other schools have them and I think Westport should also. Derinda Hamlett, Freshman: Yes, because after the basketball games are finished, there aren't any following sports for us to enjoy. Dave Masovero, Sophomore: Yes, I think they should because some of the boys that don't play basketball or football could become very good in track with a little train- ing. Lenore Yeager, junior: Yes, Westport should definitely have a regular track meet. I'm sure we have plenty of boys who could fill MARCH 29, 1954 CLASS NEWS Members of the stenography classes have volunteered to take down in shorthand the comments of the judges at the All-City Crchestra Festival.

Zest To T .Hour la Comida Del Espanol de Wesport y Paseo The Westport and Paseo Spanish De- partments held their annual Latin- American dinner on March 9, at the Mexican Christian Church. The program started with dinner which featured tacos, enchiladas, and tostados. The food was the genuine Mexican dishes, not an American sub- stitute, and was, everyone agrees, if not delicious, unusual. During dinner, the diners were entertained by mur- riaches tstrolling playersj. After dinner the group enjoyed skits, group singing, and solos jall in Spanishj. This was the second year the two schools have enjoyed such a pro- gram together. They are looking for- ward to next year's fete. Commerce Department Has Eighth Grade Assembly The Commerce Department put on their annual assembly for the eighth grade class, March 24, 1954.

Could it be because I'm so terriiically handsome, charming, clever, and intelligent? QI believe in being modest, but facts are factsj Help me, I-Iarrietl These girls just won't let me alone. They're so per- sistent, and I can't fight them off much longer. Desperately, D. S. Dear Doug, As you have pointed out, yotr are so handsome, charming, etc., that no red-blooded Westport gal could resist you. Therefore, I can offer no real solution. You might shave your head, have all your teeth extracted, cross your eyes, and walk with a limp. But, let's face it, you'd still be irresistible. My only advice is to grin and bear it. It is your sad fate to go through life with a bevy of beautiful girls begging for your attentions. Harriet P. S. Fred Sindt has asked me to tell you that, as a special favor, he will agree to take about ten of these beau- teous females off your hands. Harriet Dear Harriet, Who am I? My friends call me Mary Ann, Mary jane, Kid, Doats, Toad, Sir Toadingham, and other names which I am sure Crier policy would not allow you to print. It's so confusing! I never know when I'm being spoken to because I can't remember my name. And I do try so hard. Every morning when I wake up, I repeat 212 times, My name is Mary Annf' Then all through my breakfast of stuffed kidney beans and sauerkraut, I keep repeating it. Even getting on the bus, I murmur, Change please-my name is Mary Ann. But then I walk into the front hall and someone screams, Hi, Toad, and all my practicing goes poof. It's frustrating! Help me, Harriet! Please tell me- who am I? Signed, P Dear ? e You certainly do have a problem. But with my usual brilliance, I have found, not only one, but two solu- tions, either of which is guaranteed to solve your problem immediately. One idea is to have your name put on a neon sign and hang it from your nose by a large gold ring. Then every- one will know who you are. And just think, you might start a fad. The second idea, suggested by one of your more bloodthirsty friends, is to have Mary Ann Hamilton brand- ed across your tongue with a hot iron. It might be a trifle painful, but the satisfaction of knowing that your name is always on the tip of your tongue should compensate for any minor discomforts that you might suffer. I-Ielpfully yours, Harriet Wededea mea Question: What would you do if you had an astragal? Martha Palmgren: I'd have Miss Burke examine it. Eddie Barth: l'd wrap it up and send it down to Cape Girardeau. Jean Warmund: Don't ask me. Pm not a walking dictionary. Peggy Wathen: I'd keep it warm with my body temperature. Chuck Krause: I'd take it to the dark-room and develop it. Gloria Schlanker: If it's a boy I'll take it to the Prom. Marvin Page: I'd give it to Sue to wear around her neck. Lynne Harrod: I'd kill it before it multiplies. Ronnie McClintock: I'd put it in a cage and see what it eats. Kenny Millin: f'd give it to Chris- tine Ruf. Sara Matehett: Td add it to my col- lection of oddities. Stewart Hoch: Q'd write a concerto for it. Nancy Connoly: I'd take it to Rayko's parties with me.

C., and vicinity are completed. Graduates of the 1954 class and their friends can now pre- pare for the six-day excursion that makes real the history of our country, our government, and the beauty of our national capital. The tour begins Monday morning, June 14, when the group boards an air-conditioned train at the Union Station and travels to Washington, arriving early Tuesday. The group will go to a modern hotel, do sight-seeing, and have dinner that evening in a night club. Wednesday morning, the group will visit Washingtons Monu- ment, the White House, and the Cap- itol where they will lunch with their Senator in the Senate Dining Room, and observe the Senate and House of Representatives in session. Following an afternoon at Mt. Vernon, they will board a steamship and sail down the Potomac River through Ches- apeake Bay to Norfolk, Virginia. Dis- embarking Thursday morning, they will travel by bus through historical territory visiting Jamestown and re- stored Williamsburg, the old capital of Virginia. Here they will see dozens of colonial homes and shops, the Gover- nor's Palace, and be free to roam and enjoy the atmosphere of the late 1700's. En route to Old Point Com- fort to board the steamer for return to Washington, they will see the historic Yorktown battleheld. Friday, they will visit the Naval Academy in An- napolis, the National Zoo, the Na- tional Cathedral, and the Franciscan Monastery before boarding a train that evening for the return trip to Kansas City, arriving Saturday night, June 19. Although planned primarily as a culminating event for graduates, the trip is not restricted to seniors. The group will be accompanied by adult companions and railroad passenger agents. The complete cost, including food, lodging, and transportation, is t136.20. Brochures, giving full details, will be available soon.

MARCH 29, 1954 Volleyball Team Plays Westport's Volleyba., team met the teams from Manual and Central High School in two exciting games on Sat- urday, March 6, 1954 at Manual High School. ln this tournament all the high schools of greater Kansas City were represented. Westport played Manual and due to the terrific spiking of Diane Sullivan added them to the list of victories. The girls of Central proved to be a little too much for our team resulting in a loss. This team, coached by Miss Jensen, consisted of Pat Wray, Margaret Lang- ley, Carol Applequist, Shirley Groves, Diane Sullivan, Pat Jewel., Denise Stehwein, Ann Hitchcock, Fredi Vick- ery, Nicky Carter, Emilia El iott, and as score- Janie Floyd. Pat Rosson served keeper. Referees were Miss Moyer and Miss Cox. Following the games a was served in the cafeteria where members of the team, faculty, school officials, and parents were introduced. Entertainment was furnished by Man- ual students. An Individual Sports Day will be held sometime in the spring.

The Most Valuable Player Trophy was awarded and the State Tournament All-Star team was named. Westport placed Don Ross on the team, with Jack Mimlitz of Christian Brothers, St. Louis, and three Cape Girardeau players obtaining berths, C. W. Suedekum, Don Koch, and Paul Stehr. Bill Dumortier, Westport cen- ter, received Honorable Mention. The Most Valuable Player award went to Paul Stehr, Cape-Central. The great leader is one who never permits his followers to discover that he is as dumb as they are.-Rochester Times-Union. About the time one learns how to make the most of life, the most of it is gone. Five Receive Honors The Interscholastic League All-Stars have been named and announced with Westport placing two players on the First Team, one on the Second Team, and two players given Honorable Men- EIOIL Mike Jones, who received honorable mention in 1953 was given a first team berth on the all-star team. Jones, the leagues' sixth high scorer proved valuable to Westport as a scoring threat and a snappy rebounder. Don Ross, one of the two juniors who placed on the team last year, also was named again this year. Ross, who was not up to his sharp ball handling this year was always a constant threat to the other teams throughout the League Contests. Merle Sorensen, a newcomer to the Westport team this year, was named to the Second team. Without a doubt Westport could not have made such fine showings if it were not for Soren- sen's snappy ball-handling. Jim Whitefield and Bill Dumortier were given Honorable Mention on the All-Star Team, and were truly two of the finest rebounders in Kansas City. Jim Whitefield was one of the leading scorers for Westport from the field and Dumortier made many points from the charity line. Carl Shortino, Northeast, Kent Bryan, Southeast, and John Calia, Northeast, rounded out the First Team. Education is the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men use one or two faculties, out of the score with which they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool of every faculty-how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes.- H. W. Beecher. God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.-Daniel Webster.

The Tigers played a cautious game in order to preserve the small lead they had gained from the first, and which was never safe until the last quarter. De Soto appeared to have a very loose defense which enabled Westport to gain many of their goals. Most of the points were scored by the Ross Brothers, Jack 14, and Don 22. lt could truly be said it was one of their best .games of the season. Scoring started as Don Parmley scored with two free shots, which gave De Soto its only lead throughout the contest.

Cleveland was the defending cham- pion team who had no defeats in 23 starts this year and had a record of 39 triumphs in two years. Westport employed its usual full- court press which frenzied Cleveland into throwing the sphere away many 8 times and also walking consistently with the ball. Bill Dumortier opened the scoring for Westport with a lay-up through the middle, later Cleveland gained its only lead of the game as Ricky Herr- scher dropped in two, bringing the score to 7-5, Cleveland. Jim White- held then put Westport ahead with a lead they never relinquished. Don Ross was a big factor in the tilt, scoring 33 points, nine from the field and fifteen from the line, to give Westport its impressive score over Cleveland.

Although the Tigers were behind nine points early in the first period, they staged a hustling show to pull ahead of the St. Louis team to a lead of 11 points at one time. Westport's main scorer of the game was Mike Jones, who, getting back into his regular form in this last game after his absence, scored 16 points which brought the Tigers back up out of the cellar in the second quarter. The fourth quarter was the thriller as Webster Groves started slowly eat- ing up the Tiger lead. The Tigers put the ball into a freeze, shooting only when they saw a positive chance for scoring. Don Ross brought Westport's score along with his lay-ups and Merle Sorensen played his usual sharp ball game making some good set ups for Ross and also showed some snappy ball stealing.

Kansas Cityis hope for getting the Championship was also gone since Raytown had lost to the Christian Brothers, St. Louis in their opener and Southeast was also previously downed by Cape-Central. Westport got off to a bad start as Central forged ahead to 20-7 in the first quarter. Westport's press couldn't get into effect against the Girdardeau team's passing and hitting tactics. Although Westport had witnessed a spectacular shooting game the night before their game seemed to be all off. Had it not been for their bad start it is hard to say what might have happened as Westport outscored the home town team the remainder of the game. High scorer for Westport was Don Ross with 19 and C.

Bill Dumortier then brought West- port back on top again, 5-4 but Don Koch tied the score with a free throw and Suedekum again scored to give Central their lead which put them out of touch for Westport. THE WESTPORT CRIER he carport Brier April 15, 1954 Vol. 41, No. 12 KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI Choir Gives Concert Music again filled the air as the Westport A Cappella Choir and the Girls' Glee Club joined to present the annual Spring Concert. Since this is the choir's twentieth anniversary, much of their repertoire consisted of songs that were popular with choirs from the preceding years. These included Swing Along, In- cline Thine Ear, and Hymn to a Hero. The Glee Club presented such num- bers as Son of Rain and Spring, The Lord is My Shepherd, Song of the Winds, and the lovely Seraphic Song. Dn such selections as Let There Be Music, and Donkey Serenade and the Alma Mater, the two groups combined. In honor of the twentieth anniver- sary, three alumni of the choir, john Miller, Beverly Tays Ligon, and Caro- lyn Southall Masters, appeared as vocal soloists. Another alumnus, Harry jenks, now staff pianist for KMBC, also appeared. He performed at the piano. In addition to the choir, glee club, and alumni soloists, there was a girls' sextette and a boys' quartet. Members of the sextette were: Alice Powell, joyce Baltis, Barbara Cooncc, Roxanna Hart, Margaret Creech, and Mary Bess Chaney. Members of the quartet were: Ron- nie Bayless, Eddie Barth, Virgil Broyles, and Harry Rupf. The Glee Club was becomingly dressed in blue velvet jumpers and white blouses, while the Choir wore robes for the sacred numbers and pas- tel formals and white dinner jackets for the secular selections. Fairchild Heads Professional Group At a recent meeting of the Missouri Association for Health, Physical Edu- cation and Recreation, a faculty mem- ber, Miss S. Eugene Fairchild, was elected president. The American Association was first founded in 1885. The Missouri Asso- ciation, according to some of the early records, shows 1932. Snitlow 81 .lones on TV Two Westport high students were featured recently in a new television program honoring outstanding high school 'teen-agers. Florence Snidow and Mike jones ap- peared as guests of Larry Ray on Rays Top T hree, seen Friday, March 26, at 5 P. M. on WHB-TV Channel 9. During the interview with Ray, both students discussed Westport's IIC- tivities and their participation in them. Florence revealed that out of her many activities, cheerleading is her favorite, while Mike said he likes basketball best and is a member of Westport's team. Mike wants a military career as an Air Force jet flyer, and has already taken his entrance examination to West Point, where he hopes to attend college. The format of the show, a new ar- rival on the local television scene, is to provide a means for honoring out- standing high school boys and girls in interviews by Ray and discussions of school life. Students from both public and parochial high schools in Greater Kansas City will appear on the pro- gram during its thirteen week run, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Friday at 5 p. m. In their appearance Friday, Florence and Mike qualified as candidates for a higher award. At the end of the series, the sponsor, Macy's, will present two S500 scholarships to the boy and girl writing the best essay on a subject to be announced later. Essays will be judged by a panel of Kansas City edu- cators and the awards presented at a dinner honoring all students appear- ing on the Top Three show. The organization is made up of pro- fessional people all over the state, mainly teachers and professors in these particular fields. The purpose of this organization is to promote better health, physical edu- cation and recreational environment for the school children of the state. It also gives teachers in the same fields a chance to exchange ideas improving the standards for health, physical edu- cation and recreation, and to help the small schools, in small towns promote a good wholesome life. Business-Education Day At Westport HS About 350 business people toured Kansas City public grade and high schools March 18 during Business- Education Day to become better ac- quainted with the schools and modern education methods as akin to up-to- date business and industry. This was the second such move made in this directions last fall teachers from Kan- sas City schools were shown through various companies and factories. Grade schools were visited in the morning and lunch eaten at both grade and high school cafeterias. Westport's thirty guests ate lunch in room 6, partially redecorated for the occasion by pupils of the art classes, and were served by several girls from the foods classes. In the afternoon, an assembly fea- turing Mrs. George H. Davis, author of I Was a Hobo Kid, was pre- sented. Preceding Mrs. Davis' speech, Peggy Wathen welcomed the business people and two numbers were sung by the male quartet and girls' sextet. As guest of honor, Mrs. Davis, prominent speaker and worker for Christian education, gave an inspiring story of her life as a hobo kid, the offspring of traveling worker parents. At first, a grubby but hard-working youngster, who genuinely believed her- self differenr from other people, she later realized the opportunities ex- tended to her by public schools and churches and became a highly respect- ed, successful citizen. Mrs. Davis gave these rules as guides to successful, wholesome living: Find a churchg Appreciate laws and controls5 Ap- preciate your freedoms, responsibilities, and privileges as an American citizen. ln conclusion, the audience was dis- missed to classes, or, on the business- men and women's part, further inves- tigation into the educational system at Westport. Being elected president of such an organization indicates that Miss Fair- child has given much of her time to this organization and is certainly de- serving of such an honor. Thoughts on Easter . .. The delightful bunny, which symbolizes the Easter season to American children, is again on parade. His long, wobbly ears, button nose, and pink eyes can be seen in many store windows. The Easter bunny is one of the cherished traditions of America. There is, however, a serious side to Easter, which is no less a tradition and certainly no less American. it has to do with the One on the middle cross, who in bearing His cross, gave us an example to follow. He said, lf any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. -i Jesus implies that we each have a cross. What is this cross we are to take up? Perhaps it is the cross on which our selfishness must be crucified. Self denial is a very unpopular doctrine. Some have the idea it necessitates becoming a meaningless blob of humanity, without ideas of our own, without individual character. The meaning of self denial is a far more positive thing than that. Christ, by His very example, shows us that self denial is self invest- ment. There was a great purpose in Calvary. He invested Himself for our salvation. Do you remember jesus' parable of the talents? One man buried the money entrusted to him by his master. He was an unprofitable servant whose talents were taken from him. The other two servants invested their talents for their masicr's benefit, and received more talents. The key to success lies in the phrase for their master's benefit. We too gain for ourselves by giving ourselves in the service of others. The gain is far more valuable than material gain, for our souls are rather impover- ished if we can sec gain only in dollars and cents. The serious side of Easter gives us an opportunity to re-evaluates to clarify our purposes, our goalst a chance to take up our crosses anewg deny ourselves. It seems fitting to pay tribute to one whose influence and abilities have been dedicated to others. Although she has recently left the Westport scene, her inter- est in our activities continues. Successful lives are being lived today because of her investment. We speak of course of Miss Carol Hayden. Surely she has worked among us for the Master's benefit. . . .And Easter Seals The Easter Seal is a way in which everyone can contribute to help the crippled. Easter Seals are provided for the people in the Kansas City area by the jackson County Chapter of the National Society for Crippled Children and Adults. This is the twenty-first year for Easter Seals and the 1954 season is March 18 through April 18. Most of the funds received here are used for individuals, schools, special train- ing and many other purposes. The rest goes to other sections of our own state, 11atio11al research, and training and information programs. .. , 1 -- D cnran starr sm AEQEEF' Published bi-weekly during the school year by the news- gi' 'few llltl-11 .11 . writing class of Westport High School, Kansas City, Missouri.

In her years at Westport, Ruth has managed to pile up quite a record. She is a member of Promethean Lit- erary Society, having served as treas- uretg a very active member of Del- phians, serving as vice-president and historian, and earning both the small shield and the large shield and also the W letter in intramurals. Ruth is active along the musical line, being a member of the Girls' Glee Club. Her favorite discs are: Young in Heart and Lazy River, while her favorite recording stars are Eddie Fish-f er and Jo Stafford. Ruth is also a good pianist. Her choice in bands is Ray Anthony. Scholastically, Ruth is ranked as one of the highest girls in Westport. In the honor society, she is the holder of the gold pin with three pearls. She was one of the highest rated contest- ants in the recent Daughters of the American Revolution essay contest. Ruth's pastimes are watching TV, playing the piano and making voodoo dolls iof whomil After graduation, Ruth's plans in- clude a two year hitch at Junior Col- lege and then on to the University of Missouri to major in science. Lettering in basketball for three years probably was the highlight of Bill Dumortier's high school years at Westport. He also received honorable mention in the interscholastic League APRIL 14, 1954 and in the All-State tournament team at Cape Girardeau. Bill is one of the more active mem- bers of W club.

It seems this trip accomplished as much towards adding to the good name of Westport as any previous events. It was stated by Mr. John Fogarty, Vice Pres- ident of Zahner and Company, According to the citizenry of Cape Girardeau they seemed to be of the unanimous mind that no other team ever playing in the tournament, in their city, conducted themselves in such fine manner. Mr. Fogarty also received reports from the Mayor, and newspaper officials on the exemplary behavior and good sportsmanship of the Westport team and its followers. The superintendent of Kansas City schools, Dr. Mark W. Bills, also said in a letter to Westport, Students who compete like true sportsmen are worth more in the direction of confidence in schools than many formal efforts 'to tell the story' of modern public education. Because of the excellent behavior of the team and its followers, future trips will probably be encouraged more strongly by school ofiicials to allow students such privileges in the future, with a feeling of greater security for the students' welfare. Not only did this trip promote respect for Westport, and more fellowship among the pupils of Westport, but it also gave students a clearer prospective of sports on a larger scale. All in all, the Cape trip was very profitable for the students, Westport, and those who have had a part in giving the followers their background. There is one thing sure, that if students with very little supervision as was the casein the Cape, .could maintain such high standards away from home, there is no limit to what can be expected of them while they are at home. Thank you for your recent behavior. Much depended on you and you didn't let us down. 3 -or S -VJ, r x N.. i l-'S ,I 'a N B g 'X B x A5 :nz , F13 g This issue, the Book Nook yields a place to some of the classics of the literary world. We present only a few of the great for there are many more which deserve mention. Leo Tolstoy created two volumes which have long been hailed as master- works. War and Peace is the dynamic presentation of mighty armies over- powering obstacle after obstacle in furious, and spectacular battle. Where- as, his other famed novel deals with an entirely different problem. ln the Fifty Years Ago column of a pop- ular American magazine, a well-known gentleman of that period stated that no decent girls should read Amee Karereiaa. Despite the delicate situation with which this book deals, it is con- sidered a highly recommended work of one of the great masters of litera- ture-Leo Tolstoy. The Way of All Flesla by Samuel Butler relates a young man's untiring efforts to overthrow parental domina- tion in the Victorian era of England. Of course, we canot fail to mention again Of Herrera Boirrlege which was written by a man of this present gen- eration, W. Somerset Maugham. He relates, in autobiographical form, the trials and disappointments of his youth. Jane Austen's Pride and Prejarrlice is read in the English Literature classes and is always considered a classic of literature. lt tells the immortal story of Elizabeth and Darcy confronted with problems and frustrations of the elaborate Georgian England. Crime and Punisbmeari, who's auth- or is Fyodor Dostowsky, involves the fantastic murderer Raskalnikov. Crime earl Panislame-ul seldom misses a place on the lists of the worlds greatest novels. I Charlotte and Emily Bronte cannot be omitted from this review since both were such accomplished writers. lane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, is the vivid story of a young girl raised in a home for orphans who finally finds her place iii society despite her many disadvan- 4 tages. Emily Bronte is authoress of the strange story of Heathclifie and Catherine, namely Watlaeriag H eigbts. The above are only a few of the great books with which every young American should become acquainted. In order to obtain a wider view of the world of yesterday and to appreciate good literature,one must associate with the characters of fiction and acquire a knowledge of these fine classics. In your spare time, go to the library and obtain one of these additions. When you've completed the book you'll sure ly agree they're far more worth your time than a modern outer space novel.

Cafeteria Puts 0n New Fate Say, the cafeteria looks different! Yes, it does! It is now sporting a new coat of warm yellow paint on the walls with a soft rose tone flanking the doors at either end, work done during the Christmas vacation. Replacing the old, dull prints are modern wire sculpture projects fash- ioned by students in Miss Beck's first and second hour art classes. These dec- orations are crafted of aluminum clothesline and finer gauge wire, care- fully bent and welded into shape and then painted black. Two smaller designs of tableware and ducks have been attached to pil- lars, while a large under-water fish scene occupies the west end wall. Another sizeable work, an abstract de- sign of a lunch-table view, is being prepared and will be placed on the east end wall.

Send nowl Ann BIyth's Suggestions To Teen-Agers Ann Blyth, in an exclusive article in the May issue of Motion Picture and Television Magazine, warns would-be actresses that The movie capital can be heartbreak for those who try and fail to make the grade. To one of several searching ques- tions, Should I go to Hollywood to study to be an actress? she says It's easier to return home from a nearby city than to trek home from Holly- wood. In the interview, Miss Blyth points out to teenagers that there are schools in every city where a girl can study dramatics. If there isn't a school in your town, then it is my suggestion that you attend a school nearest your own home. During this training period many of you will learn that acting isnlt what you want to do. The star, now happily married to Dr. James McNulty, speaks of the extreme shyness that haunted her life for years, in her provocative article, titled, Are You Afraid? I spent many an hour trying to iind the right solution. Then one day the answer onine to me. Ann's solu- tion was right for her, and she feels it could be right for many other young girls now suiiering from this handicap. When girls ask me how they can grow up gracefully and well poised, I trnderstand them very well, Miss Blyth said. For these girls who imag- ine that I have always been as I am now, I'd like to say this isn't true. just -ike any other girl, I had my problems.

Peggy Johnson presented each of the students, beginning with Judy An- thony, who was Director of the Fire Department but left those details to Fire Chief Peggy Wathen, Judy told of the dayis background: addresses by F. Phillips Giltner, head of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, which spon- sors the event, Mayor William E. Kemp, Joseph G. Bryan, director of secondary education for Kansas City public schools, Phillip E. Geissal, chief planning engineer for the city who also showed pictures of Kansas City devel- opments .completed and planned for the future, and Dr. Earl J. McGrath, president of the University of Kansas City. A luncheon at Hotel Continen- tal and tours of the city were followed by a mock council meeting. Fire Chief Peggy Wathen was im- pressed by the vigilance of the two 24- hour shifts of firemen that protect our city. At her request, the staff obeyed a false alarm bell, donned uniforms, and slid down the famous brass poles to show how fast the men at the main Are station could get on the job. Christine Ruf helped open sealed bids from selling companies during her day as Commissioner of Purchases and Supplies, and actually bought provis- ions for civic institutions. Eddie Fisher, Director of the Water Department, learned of the plans to improve the water facilities, saw a movie on our city's water department, and toured the pumping stations. Florence Snidow, only girl on the City Council, learned how hard our councilman work to better our city by passing the right ordinances. Florence took active part in debates concerning city-wide trash collection, teenage cur- fcws, teenage recreational centers, sale of certain items on Sunday, and with fCorrlirrrrer1 on page SJ ' Quarter-Century Club Mr. D. H. Holloway has joined the Quarter-Century Club, for August, 1954, will mark his twenty-fifth year as principal of Westport. He is the only present Kansas City principal who has served his school twenty-hve years. A reception in his honor was given April 14 at which Mr. Shearer, as mas- ter of ceremonies, presented Mr. Hollo- way with a brief case, a gift of the fac- ulty members. Mr. John L. Shouse, former Westport principal now re- tired, spoke words of tribute for Mr. Holloway's service, and Carol Van Sandt and Sam Perez entertained with two vocal numbers each, accompanied by Mrs. H. Spring. Carol sang Haw- ley's Sweetest Flower That Blows and Sing, Robin Sing, by Strickland. Sam's selections were Without a Song, by Youmans, and lViallott's Song of the 0pen Road. Mr. Holloway is a native of Grundy County, Missouri, and took his B.A. in Education and M.A. at Missouri University. He served in the First World War as a First Lieutenant in the Quartermaster Corps. He was one of Kansas City's first instructors in ROTC, having taught such a course at Central High when it was called High School Volunteers. He also taught social studies at Central, then went to Boise, Idaho to serve as prin- cipal there for six years, and returned to Kansas City to become principal of Westport.

Set for May 8 Such colorful characters as Shut- eye Sly, Mayor Fuddy, Mrs. H. Duro Pampinelli, Huxley Hossefrosse, and Sunshine Sal, the slot-machine queen, will tread the boards of Westport's stage on the evening of May 8 when the annual spring plays are presented. Mayor For a Day concerns the hilarious happenings that occur when Tom, a high school senior, is elected to serve as mayor for his city for one day. Given the full power of his po- sition, Tom decides to reform the city and begins vigorously cleaning up the corruption that the mayor and his friends have struggled so hard to achieve. This involves tearing down the local slot-machine palace, closing up the bookie joints and other such activities which completely ruin the worthy Mayor Fuddy and his crooked friends. Appearing in Mayor For a Day : Cheril Schoen, Waymon Elledge, Carole Major, Dick Campbell, Rose- marie Darling, Gary Teagarden, George Bilby, Lynn Harrod, Tommy Fay, Lucretia Gable, Lucille Nichol, Charles Gartin, Phyllis Morgan, Mary Harless, Mary Webb, Irma Fields, Bill Goodrich, Kenny Koster, Fred Redd, John Filson. The second play, The Torchbear- ers, takes place back stage of the theatre in which a group of wealthy socialites are producing a play. Every- thing that could possibly go wrong with the presentation of a play goes wrong with this one: doors will not open, telephones will not ring, part of the set almost falls down, one of the actors collapses in a dead faint, the leading lady consistently trips over the door strip, and the leading man loses his mustache in the middle of his most dramatic scene. All of these in- cidents combine to drive the play's temperamental director, Mrs. Pompi- nelli, into a state of supreme hysteria. Cast: Peggy Wathen, John Fore- man, Alice South, Virgil Broyles, Flor- ence Snidow, John Wood, Judy An- thony, Michael Jeweller, Carole Ma- jor, Eddie Barth. Both plays are under the direction of Miss Dorothy Hilbert. The Way We Behave We are told that peacernakers are blessed. But how can peace be made in the world? One way is not to hold grudges. Another is to do more than you are required to do. Docs that sound strange? Yet psychologists know that in mercy lies sanity. To mind and body, hate is like a deadly drug causing physical and mental diseases, the mind becomes a snake basket of bitterness. it is literally true that anger, jealousy, envy-all rancors burn out cells and tissues, use up adrenalin, and, in riotous feeling, spend away our health. , That is why the happy man is one who learns to overlook little slights and promptly to forgive large offenses. lt is hard for many people to believe in such rules, because their very simplicity seems fanciful . . . Thus we become free men and not slaves. And thus we may also learn the true values of obstacles, or of unfair treatment. They often bring out the very best that is in us. So it was, long ago, in Bedford Gaol. In a corner of a dungeon, around the stone door of which rats scamper, a shivering prisoner crouches. Far down the corridor there is the clop-clop' of shuffling feet. Presently a guard shoves through the bars a hunk of stale bread and two bottles of water. And here a most strange thing happens. The prisoner seizes the food and eats like a starving man-but only until the guard has shutiled back to where he came from. Then the prisoner drops the bread and bends over the twisted chunk of paper stuffed in the neck of the bottle, to serve as a cork. He spreads the paper on the floor, smoothes it out as best he can, and then, with a wobbly quill, he starts to write. What is he writing? . . . and behold there was a stately palace before him, the name of which was Beautiful and it stood by the high wayside . . . I saw in my dreams that he made haste, and went forward that if possible he might get lodging there . . . So it was in prison that John Bunyan had to forgive-and in making the best of his tragedy, he wrote his masterpiece, Pilgrims Progress. -Quoted from Fulton Oursler's Modern Parablesf' Looking Ahead At this time of the year, when Memorial Day is rapidly approaching, our thoughts quite naturally turn to the brave men who have sacrificed their lives for their country. But there are others, thousands upon thousands of them, who have also sacrifced much for America and whom we call veterans. Many of these vet- erans came back to their homes and families, readjusted quickly, and are now useful citizensg some were not so fortunate. These are the men of the veterans hospitals, many of whom have been shamefully neglected by their friends and families. Many of these men have not had a visit, phone call, telegram, or letter for a period of six or eight years. It is- true that many organizations such as the Red Cross do much valuable work in presenting programs, shopping for the men, etc. But volunteer gen- erosity cannot do the whole job. So, if anyone of your acquaintance is now in a veterans hospital, write or visit them soon. Make this Memorial Day a tribute not only to our soldier dead, but to the living soldiers in the veterans hospitals. , CRIER STAFF SI 'ligdfbiii Published bi-weekly during the school year by the news- QT Mfr, fiom? writing class of Westport High School, Kansas City, Missouri.

Bryan, director of sec- ondary education in the Kansas City schools, announced that reservations can now be made for the fourth an- nual tour of Washington, D.C. and surrounding country, June 14-19. Mr. Bryan met with Westport stu- dents April 22 in a brief Senior as- sembly concerning this trip offered graduating students or underclassmen wishing to go. The total cost is r5136.20, including meals and fees. Reservations must be sent to Mr. Bry- an by May 15. Those interested can obtain a folder from Mr. Wilcox in room 2. Most of the traveling is done by train, while chartered busses will be used to tour Washington, D. C.'s resi- dential areas, government buildings, the Smithsonian Institute, the Capitol Building, and other points of interest. Another tour includes Arlington Na- tional Cemetery, Mt. Vernon, and the Pentagon, ending in boarding a steam- ship for an overnight trip up the Po- tomac to visit Norfolk and restored colonial Williamsburg. Then the group returns to Washington to view sev- eral churches and assemble for a final tour of Annapolis and the U. S. Naval Academy before departing for the trip home.

This year you arc in store for a double treat, since two plays are being presented for the price of one. The plays need every students support, in order to be a success, and since it will run only one night there is no valid reason why the auditorium shouldn't be packed.

Support Our Advertisers THE WESTPORT CRIER WWW Waals Wea l Bonnie Tidlsall and Mike Jones lt seems our featured twosome of this issue have their hearts set on giv- ing orders, Bonnie Tidball has plans for teaching the kiddies, and Mike jones intends to have a career as an army officer. lt could well be said that they are the Scholar and The Sports- man of Westport, with Bonnie being co-Valcdictorian of her class and Mike playing a major part on Westport's basketball team. Bonnie, one of Westport's brightest students, holds many honors: treasurer of Promethean Literary Society, a member of the A Cappella Choir, be- longs to the A.A.U.W., and has a small and large shield W, and senior pin from intramurals. Secret Love, and I Love Paris top Bonnie's list of favorites and with Percy Faith and orchestra conducting anything would sound good. Swiss steak, mashed potatoes, and chocolate cake rank high in Bonnie's food cate- gory. Following graduation Bonnie is go- ing to Park College where she plans to major in either English or History. Mike, who really is set for a military career, is planning on attending West Point next fall, but also has his appli- cation in at Yale. It seems as if Mike is a home boy for he enjoys eating his mother's fried chicken and listening to his favorites in the music mood, Laura and Wanted Westport has truly benefited from having Mike at Westport for he added much to the basketball scene as he was May 3, 1954 placed on the First Team interscholas- tic League All-Star Team and was rated on the Second Team All-District. Mike says his most exciting moment was when Westport won third place in the State Tournament. Although Mike has no nickname fthat he knows ofj, he does have a pet peeve, My size twelve feet. fThey're not so bigii Active in school organizations, Mike is a member of Wilson, Literary So- ciety, W Club, and the A Cappella Choir. The vital statistics on this out- standing pair of Westporters are: Bon- nie, 5 feet, M inches tall and weigh- ing 126 pounds. Mike is 6 feet tall and weighs 155 pounds. Sophomores Win S25 In Home Show Two Westport boys, Tim Schoe- maker and Don Scott, are the proud winners of S25 prizes for their essays on the topic: Why Home Ownership Builds Good Citizenship. The boys are both sophomores and both members of Miss Marie Brubaker's Sth hour Eng- lish class. Tim and Don are two of ten win- ners chosen from 82 entries from 23 high schools in Greater Kansas City. The prizes were awarded April 7 at the information Booth of the Home Builder's Association in Exhibition Hall. To celebrate the occasion, Miss Bru- baker's class had a party for the two boys. Two big cakes, candy, and flowers were part of the festivities. Winners of the contests here are eli- gible to compete for national honors, sponsored bythe National Association of Home Builders. The top essayists in these contests, which will be judged within the month, will receive S500 and all-ex- pense trip to Washington. Judges of the contest were: Mrs. Martha B. Franklin, Damon R. Elder, manager of the Home Shows and Fred Fitzsimmons, real estate editor of the Star. Meer Your Friends ur the NYU 48th and Main Sound Oli Presented By lr., Sr. Band Sound Off was presented last April 9, by the High School Orches- tra, Sr. Band, Jr. Band. The program started under way with the Jr. Band playing Trium- phant by Herfurth, Midnight So- liloquy by Miller, and Squadron by Stuart. The Sr. Band then took over with the March of the Champions by Huffer, with the Orchestra follow- ing with Bouree by Bach. Mary- beth True and Shirley Waters came true to form with their flute duet from Hughes Op. 51 No. 5. The Sr. Band took over with Mystic Cavern by Frangkiser. Shirley Waters again played, but this time with her famous oboe. She played the Sonata No. I by Handel. The or- chestra took over with Sketch of a Dandy by Wood. Then the Orches- tra's concert mistress, Conchita Reyes and her Magic Violin played Caprice Brilliant by Webber. The orchestra then played another number When You Wish Upon a Star by Washing- ton and Harline. Westport's Concert Trio, which consists of Rudy Wrobel, Violin, Xavier Moreno, Viola, and Kathy Wrobel, Piano, played a cute numher by Crisp. The Sr. Band played the ever famous Deep Purple by De- Rose. The orchestra then followed with Siboney by Lecuona. The Saxaphone Quartet, Charles Schlein, Jerry Max- well, Carl Wakefield and Martha Palm- gren played Old Comrades by Teike. The orchestra played Plink, Plank, Plunk by Leroy Anderson with an encore of Jazz Pizzicato also by An- derson. Our favorite trumpet player, Shirley Bean playing the Sugar Blues. The Majorettes, Erma Larrick, Lamona Fletcher, Joanne Lacy, Shirley Powell, Shirley Goldman, Sherrie Wilson, came twirling down the the aisfe to High School Cadets by Sousa, played by the Sr. Band. The Sr. Band then ended the program playing Hey, Pedro! a novelty number by Morrissey which went over well with the audience. All together, a total of 100 students took part in the program. The money that was donated will be used on the purchase of a Tape Recorder for the instrumental department. The Band and Orchestra had a sneak preview of Sound Off in an Assem- bly which proved to be very good in the attendance on April 9. 3 Jazz bo Io Says Greetings, Kaytee kats. just read a reminiscent rumination by a fellow long in the dance band-booking busi- ness who mentions a few names that might have been in bold type on the STARS amusement page years ago. WDAF's Nighthawk program 111:30 Saturday eveningsi is a carry- over from the days when the Coon Sanders Night Hawks broadcasted danceband music at that late hours later, K. C. lost them to the Black- hawk in Chicago. Then came jumpin' Bennie Moten, jyeah, Moten Stomp j whose band traveled in six lavender Auburn carsg George E. Lee and sister Julia, still one of K. C.'s top enter- tainersg Thaymon Hayes and his Rock- etsg Andy Kirk and his Twelve Clouds of Joy, featuring Mary Lou Williams on piano-for years the old lil Torreon ballroom's band. I recently found out that El Tor has been a rink for only about 15 years. Then there was the great Count Basie at the Cherry Blos- som and the old Ilene Club, on the location of the present Police Building at 12th and Locust. No. K. C. has raised other things besides steaks, gang.- sters, and politicians. First, some romantic stuff, since this is spring, etc., etc. Lost In Loveli- ness is a very nice song, likely to be recorded sooner or later by about everyone in the business. Doris Day holds forth well on it, and so does Billy Eckstine, backing his with Duke's oldie, Dont Get Around Much Anymore. Both song and sing- er could manage without the choral backing on 'lAnymorc. The reliable Ames Brothers will probably cash in on a good-natured ditty about The Man With the Banjo who sings to cheer people up. Kay Starr goes spirit- ual with The Man Upstairs in a commercial way, and belts passionately on the flip, lf You Love Me, Really Love Med' Pace to Face' 'is a good song making the rounds via various artists. Tony Martin and his usual mas- sive backing of chorus and orchestra makes the simple-lyriced Here a pretty thing to hear. Patti Page is fine on a tango My Restless Lover. Geor- gia Gibbs sings another wedding march, Ill Always Be Happy with You. Peggy Lee is warm on the haunting johnny Guitars flip- Autumn in Rome could certainly do without our fine feathered friends chirping here and there. The song isn't 4 bad, but makes for mental associations with April in Paris or Autumn in New York. Eddy Howard and Ella Fitzgerald have cut separately Melan- choly Me, an amazingly close dupli- cate of Sentimental Me with trite lyrics. Eddy's flip, I Wonder What's Become of Sally is more of his style, and Ella has done quite well on Some- body Bad Stole de Wedding Bell. Harry Belafonte is a handsome singer who has popularized folk music to some extent, and has wowed Eastern bistro audiences to a tremendous ex- tent. He sings a variety of songs and on a tender, honest tune like Pm Just a Country Boy, his wonderful voice is just that. Look around for his records the next time you'd like some good masculine singing. Now. Above the snari of a hot Harley-Davidson or enraged Brando, the background music for The Wild One was a pioneer movement in cin- ema production. The progressive jazz of Shorty Rogers was perfect for the harsh story, and four selections are now out on EP records 'that are being asked for quite frequently over record counters. Fairly hep listeners remark that that sounds like Kenton, and in places the numbers dot Shorty has arranged for Kenton, Woody Herman, and many others. He now -has his own group on the West Coast and is a growing favorite in cooler circles of listening. Tenor sax-man Bill Perkins is featured on the disc which includes the slow Blues for Brando, jumpy Chino, minor blues and eerie Wind- swept, and the most-played selection, The Wild One, with a- forceful, re- peating theme. This wouldn't be a bad album to have even if you didn't see the picture. The cool Miss Carroll puts out a juicy 12 LP of goodies like I Want a Little Girl, Goodbye, From This Moment On, Let's Fall in Love, and Lullaby of Broadway, plus oth- ers. Barbara's trio is well coordinated and getting good notices from play- goers who saw her in Me and Juliet jbelieve I'm correct on that titlej and jazz fans catching her show at the Embers. Stan Kenton conducts Bob f City of Glass i Graettinger's new product of a year's work, This Modern World. The selections' titles simply tell, in most cases, what instrument is featured, and Maynard Ferguson's trumpet and poll-winner John Graas' French horn are fitting and proper in the Kenton settings. These are for terry avid fans of progressive jazz. Old originals have been recut on fine LP's that will be real collector's items. They featured some of the earliest jazz pioneers like Jelly Roll Morton, jimmy Yancey, the Original Dixieland Jass Band, Eddie Condon's Hot Shots, Benny Moten's K. C. Jazz Volume 1, Ben Pollack's orchestra with Benny Goodman, jimmy Mc- Partland, Jack Teagarden, and Glenn Miller, The jug Bands, Jimmy Lunce- ford's Chickasaw Syncopaters, and Rex Stewart and orchestra. This is the type of record featured on the New Orleans Jazz Club program heard over WWL, 850 kilocycles, Sunday evening some- time after nine. Good listening for right, interested parties. That finishes it off for this time. Remember, Be Kind to your web- footed friends, for a duck may be somebody's mother, quoting Peter Hayes-Mary Healy's new disc, 'Crazy, Mixed-Up Song.

THE WESTPORT CRIER City Hall Day lC0lIffll1lt'tf from page lj other students submitted a new idea on the curfew to the real council. In the Department of Legal Aid, Lillian Bowser observed two lawyers giving legal service and advice to those people in the lower one-fourth income bracket who could not alford private legal advisors, but need help in straight- ening out matters involving S75 or less, or to those confused about their legal rights. In this way, many cases are handled outside the courts, thereby serving the citizens greatly. Nancy jo Delap learned hrst-hand about the unpleasant pests that destroy thousands of dolars worth of goods each yearirats. As Chief Director of Rodent Control, she learned that a force of men inspects buildings sus- pected of harboring rats, and sees that correct repair and extermination work is done on these buildings to prevent entrance by the rodents. Larry Goetz faced the problems of traflic offenders' and dereliets in his term as Municipal judge. He said that most derelicts are repeated olfenders picked up for intoxication or vagrancy who can't he helped much because of lack of funds, and that traffic courts are crowded every day. These are two of Kansas City's problems. .1..............i TOEDMAN CABS, INC. Radio Controlled Cabs 24 HOUR SERVICE 3834 Main WE l500 Over 27 Years of Dependable Service May 3, 1954 Versatile Bilby Interviewed You've often heard of versatile peo- ple and here in Westport we have sev- eral very versatile students, one of them being George Bilby. George is a boy of many accomplish- ments and in this article we would like to recognize a few of them. In 1953 George received a bronze medal engraved with his name for winning third place in the Sons of the American Revolution Essay Contest and again in 1954 he was awarded a second place for which he received a silver medal. His topics were respec- tively, How Can We Stop Losing the Freedoms that George Washington Gained For Us? and What Lessons Can We Learn From the American Revolution That Will Help Us in These Critical Times? This year George was given a 5200 scholarship, an engraved gold wrist watch, and a certificate of participa- tion for a book report at I-Iaag Hall, University of Kansas City on March 16 on the book Brown Aiuericarrs by Ed- win Rogers Embrees, for winning sec- ond place in the Mnookin-Brown Hu- man Relations Memorial Scholarship Contest. He says he could never have done this without Miss Stella Maddox's encouragement and help. Everyone will remember George's The Call to Arms which he gave in the Oration Contest sponsored by Speech Arts. This won him second place. I-Ie would like to mention that Mr. King was a big helper in this. To conclude his list of accomplish- ments he was Westport's representa- tive in the speech recording contest The Voice of Democracy. In ten years or less we can all be very proud that we knew George Bilby when . . . Baby Contest Winners: Harding, Sharp, Plol Fairchild Attends Association Meeting Miss Eugena Fairchild, a Westport faculty member recently elected pres- ident of the Missouri Association for Health, Physical Education and Rec- reation was one of eight Kansas Citians attending the district meeting of the American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation at Lincol n, Nebraska, April 6-10. Delegates from this nine-state dis- trict met at the Lincoln Hotel to get new ideas and learn of improvements and changing methods in various fields and hear and see leaders in these fields explain such actions. There were dem- onstrations of modern dance, golf, elementary rhythms, and the ten-sta- tion method of teaching swimming, besides luncheons, dances, classes, and group meetings. About 590 people attended, includ- ing 290 university students majoring in Physical Educationg 19 attended from Missouri. Zest To The Hour 5 Tests Required For Permanent Jobs Seniors thinking of working per- manently through this summer only have had several chances recently to be tested for various skills and apti- tudes, and to register with employment authorities. An assembly was held March 25 to obtain correct information concerning seniors' work plans and experience and to allow pupils to register with school and state employment services. Miss Galatas, school counselor, was in charge of the assembly and introduced Mr. E. O. Hammond, representing the department of guidance and counsel- ing at the Board of Education, who circulated and explained work blanks filled out by the pupils. Mr. Jones of Missouri State Employ- ment Service, tested 120 pupils of the commerce department on shorthand, typing, and general information dur- ing hours one, two, and hve April 7. Senior girls who have shown on their work blanks a desire to take the General Aptitudes Testing Battery will receive these tests April 26 and 30 from 8:15 A.M. to 12 noon. Girls will be notified through their homerooms on which day they are to take it. Represent Westport In Music Contest Five Westport students have been qualihed to participate in the Missouri State Music Contest. In order to qualify, it was necessary for these students to have received either a 1 or a 2 rating in the City Vocal Contest which was recently held at Westport. The participants were judged not only for vocal quality, but for interpretation, stage department, diction, rhythm, and accuracy. The tive Westporters who have earn- ed the opportunity to participate in the State Contest are: Carol Van Sandt Pat Mueller Peggy Wathen Alice Powell Sam Perez For Sophisticated Clothes CLUB CORNER Westport's hve departmental clubs held a joint meeting in Room 213 on Friday, April 9. The purpose of this meeting was to have fun and a lot to GRB. As a means to accomplish this pur- pose, a program with numbers featur- ing every club was emceed by George Bilby, of jules Guerin. Some of the numbers were: We're a Couple of Swells, Peggy Wathen and Judy Anthony, Ma Sez, Pa Ser, Tommy Fay and Lucille Riegelman, Cross Over the Bridge, Vivian Phil- green, Beverly and Carol Van Sandt, all from Speech Arts. Members of El Circulo Calderon presented a baton twirling act featur- ing Erma Larrick, Joanne Lacy, and Shirley Powell from Delphians. An- other contribution from El Circulo was a solo, Eros Tu, sung by Con- chita Reyes. A few more numbers were Shine Your Shoes, a dance by Katie Wright, and a sizzling rendition of L Like You just the Way You Are, by Carol Tobias of jules Guerin. Following the program everyone helped themselves to plates Piled high with sandwiches and cookies and cokes. The members of the clubs, Jules Guerin, El Circulo Calderon, Stage and Screen, Speech Arts, Illelphians and the W Club are agreed that the meeting served its purpose and that such meet- ings should beheld more often to ac- complish the same purpose.
