Our illustrious class of '55 has once more gath- ered 'round to ring out the old and ring in the new. The sentimental old favorite, Auld Lang Syne is being softly played by Conchita Reyes on the violin while Fred West dreamily accompanies her on a comb covered with tissue paper. Their lovely duet is momentarily interrupted by the sound of crashing glass and the ap- pearance of Sam Perez through the window wearing a straight iacket. Peace is restored when the keepers from St. Joe, armed with butterfly nets, subdue him and lead him back to his padded cell. His mind snapped when the vice-president of El Circulo Calderon re- fused to allow him to sing his own composition, As Far Away From You As I Can Get, Monano. In the middle of the floor, Leonard Perkins, smartly attired in white tie and tails, with pearl gray spots, is dancing with his sixth wife, the former Ann Rock, the noted woman senator. Wherever we look we see mistletoe, the hall having been tastefully decorated by Mary Lou Porter and Alice Monson. ln his corner, Jack Ross, world's heavyweight wrestling champion, is playing pool with his charming wife, Lillian Bowser. In another dark corner, we observe Jerry Parsons and Billy Barnhart stealthily improving the punch-with ginger ale, of course. Ronald Hogan and Russell McDaniel are nervously discussing the danger of another leap year. They flinch as Mr, and Mrs. Jerry Rausin ithe former Mary Heaberlini and their nine children enter. Glamorous Elaine Jacobson, wife of the millionaire playboy, Bob Patterson, enters in a diamond tiara and chinchilla cape. She made gadabout Bob stay home to take care of her pet poodle, Dry Martini. Dr. Bob Vegiard, famous chemist and discoverer of green bubble gum, enters with a microscope under one arm, and begins to analyze the punch, about which people are beginning to complain. The dazzling entrance of Arlene Yadon, carrying her favorite brand of iellybeans, creates some excitement. She is stag and upon being asked by many of her friends about her love life, she replies, Oh, the men bore me so! Towering over Fredye and Jerry Irby, co-owners of El Stinkeroo, a new night spot frequented by Westporters, we see Danny Acuff and Christine Ruf. Danny has the record of being the tallest man in captivity, since he discovered a mysterious compound in Miss Junkin's chemical laboratory which stimulated his growth. Sitting demurely on the sofa Woody McNoughton is resisting Nancy Johonning's attempts to drag him out on the dance floor. Lucretia Gable, who is running for the first woman president of the United States, stares down at us from a campaign poster, which at the moment is being smeared by Jim Jarvis with Barb Martin's lipstick. While standing there observing the antics of Bob Klein with a lampshade on his head imitating a lamp, we notice the big union leader, Paul Wright, looking over his Janitor's Local Union No. 00000Vz. His assistant, lrl Van Winkle, and the assistant assistant, Jim Berkstresser, are coaching the new assistant assistant to the assistant, John Pappas, who is doing all the work Gt. At this moment the head waiter, Gene Vandergrift, enters to announce that the final batch of Aunt Marcia's Clanderi Pancakes is now available for all. Darrel Lathrom hastily circulates, telling all to beware of those pancakes. Everyone is startled by the unorthodox entrance of Charlene Winklfield on her brown mustang. Really Charlene! But order is quickly restored when Admiral Jackie Ruf rushes in to save his lady-in-distress, Sondra Ramsey, who had fallen in the path of the charging stallion. Sondra breathlessly sighs, My Hero and places a kiss ,on the blushing swabbie. Over in another corner we notice Boyd Fredrickson relating his daring adventures in the dark pathways of the dark iungles on the Dark Continent of darkest Africa. On his latest iourney, he told of his thrilling episodes with a half-mon, half-monster, whom he affectionately named Clint Kelly, because he ran so fast. Leslie Burns was anxious to relate his experiences with a Ubangi cannibal dancer who strangely resembled Nancy Connelly. ln the center of the floor we see Sara Matchett and Jolene Hammons sitting engrossed in their furious game of jacks, They are interrupted by the cheers coming from a group consisting of Lucy Riegelman, Joy Coughenour, Jeanne Lang, Beverly Hayes, and Connie Mates, who are being led by Lenore Yeager doing cheers on her white charger Black Midnight. Suddenly the clock strikes 12 midnight and another year has slipped quietly l?J by. Grimly we realize that once more we must trudge wearily back to our homestead, Dr. Bonnie HilI's Rest Home For The Aged and Infirm.

It was a thrill to see Sondra Ramsey crowned Prom- ethean's beauty queen for 1955 at the lntersociety Dance.

This morning being the day of a 3-part assembly. With Charles Sampson as the emcee, the final rounds in the Speech Arts Reading and Oratorical Contests were held. Competing for the top honor in reading were Marybeth True and Barbara Church. Marybeth made a good showing with One Solitary Life. Barbara Church, with her se- lection, I Am an American, won the first ranking. Orations featured Paul Jones, who used his original essay, and Waymon Elledge, who chose Toussaint le Ouverturef, In this contest Waymon received top honors. All four contestants were very good and well received by the audience. The judge was a former Westport stu- dent, David Skeer, whose name is on the Albert S. Humphrey speech plaque. Everyone was pleased to see the celebrity, Randall Jesse, from WDAF- TV. He gave an amusing speech mainly concerned with his career in radio and television. This was just another assembly which brings to recognition the talent and abilities of Westport students. Cabinet for Health Center After waiting for nine years West- ports' Health Center has finally re- ceived a new first aid cabinet. The order for this was placed by Miss Burke over nine years ago, but after seeing it you'll agree it was worth waiting for. It extends over M of the east wall in the Health Center. It is blond wood and has a working space on top equal to its length. Miss Porter is very thankful for the new built-in. Baseball at Its Best Take Me Out to the Ball Game. Is this the tune you've been humming to your boy friend? Finding that when he does take you, you don't know the why or how of the game. Don't be embarrassed any longer, let me straighten you out. First of all there are nine men on each team fwhy they didnit have an even number I don't knowj. These men are equally spread out on a field fbigger than a football fieldj. One man hits a ball with a stick and runs until another man gets the ball and then he stops fusually on a small feed sack laying on the fieldj . This action is continued till one side gives up and then the other team hits and runs. One man fhe must be a poor sportj, stands and throws the ball at another player all the time. The other player must be expecting this because he wears a wire basket over his face all the time. Three men in black suits run around the field all the time waving their hands. I don't think the players like these men because they are always yelling nasty things at them. I hope this article has helped to straighten you out on a few points of the game. If not, I suggest you take up knitting and let your boy friend go to the game alone. Board Elected The newly elected members of the Student Council Executive Board are as follows: 8th Grade--Pat Hill, Mike Gafney, Ann Rueckert, and Larry Seale.

Arlene Delores Yadon entered West- port as an eighth grader in 1950 and has, since that time, received many honors. This green-eyed redhead is a member of the Pep Club and the Ciuen-HERALD Staff. She is a past president of Pundit Literary Society, Sergeant-at-Arms of Stage and Screen, and the holder of a gold pin with one pearl in the Honor Society. Arlene, who has been an office assistant for two years, has the honor of being the first basketball queen of Westport. She acted as City Traffic Engineer in City Hall Day of '55. Among her favorites she lists fried chicken, the record, Harlem Noc- turn, and Ray Anthony. Arlene plans to major in Business Administration at Drury College. The last chapter of this book is closed by Jerry Lee Parsons. Jerry's Westport honors explain themselves as he was elected Comedian on the Sen- ior Ballot. For example he lists as his favorite food, garlic butter over MAY 19, 1955 boiled squid, frozen milk from a sperm whale and fried cactus thorns. If not at school, Jerry can be found at the Rainbow Drive-In listening to the record Most of All, or at the ball park. Jerry plans to go to work for the Santa Fe Railroad in the near future. Honor to Latineers Commonly known as the Lat- ineers, Conchita Reyes, Sam Perez, Xavier Moreno, and Jesse Sanchez rep- resented Westport at a dinner held at the American Red Cross Center. Among the guests present were in- ternational officers and representatives of the Red Cross, and also foreign of- ficers from the Commanding School at Leavenworth. The Latineers ex- pressed that it was a thrilling sight to see the colorful uniforms and to meet the oificers in person. This honor came to the Latineers after having been chosen from all other high school talent acts that have gone to perform for the Air Force Hospital in Topeka. Among the numbers they played were Amor, Crei, La Bamba, and Mi Tentacionf' State Music Contest Once again the Missouri state music contest was held at Missouri Univer- sity. On April 29, 1955, twenty-five Westporters were entered in this con- test. They did a great job and should be commended for their fine work in upholding the name of Westport. The ratings of those entered are: Conchita Reyes-Violin-II Keytha Sharp-Alto-II Girl's Sextette-II Boy's Quartette-I Clarinet Quartette-II Fred West and Dave Masovero- Clarinet and Basson Duet-II Sax trio-III Fred West-Basson-III Shirley Waters-Oboe-I Bob Carpenter-I Virgil Broyles-II Lyle Wyly--II Barbara Coonce-II Westport Seniors Make Plans! June 3, 1955, an important day in the life of Westport's graduating class is fast approaching. Senior Day ac- tivities will include a police-escorted procession of cars going from West- port to the Trinity Methodist church where the luncheon will be held. Fol- lowing the luncheon they will return to school for the Senior Assembly after which the Heralds will be distributed and seniors will enjoy a mixer in the girls' gym. After this full schedule, if possible, a deep breath and a short nap will help to keep you alive until the Junior- Senior Prom which will begin at 9 o'clock. To bring their high school career to a close, Tuesday, June 7, seniors will at last receive their diplomas at the grad- uation exercises in the main arena of the Municipal Auditorium.

Dear Westporters, We, the Senior Class of 1955, will be leaving in a short time, but be- fore we depart there are many things we must first say to you. Westport, the school above all others, has been the center of each of our lives in the past Hve years. We have lived and learned with one an- other within her walls and have become so much a part of her that leav- ing is a very sad moment to each and every individual. Here we have been transformed from happy-go-lucky eighth graders into young men and Women nearing maturity. A thing that we learned, that you, too, will learn, is that Westport is not just a school with students within her walls. No, she is much more than that! She has much tradition and heart that surround her red brick exterior. Memories, spirit, and a little bit of every class that has gradu- ated from here linger on forever in her halls. We have strived to keep high this tradition and Westport's name. And We shall keep striving to represent her well! You, too, must do the same, for you are Westport! Without you she could not be the real Westport, the one that is well-spoken of by all Kansas Citians. You must work diligently to always keep her on top. Here, where we have shared responsibility and duty, we also have cul- tivated the friendly and sportsmanlike attitude that her name stands for. She has supplied our every need for an excellent and well-rounded education by providing us with the finest of teachers, a studious atmos- phere, along with a spirit and will to learn. So, as we prepare to depart to the strains of Pomp and Circum- stance we ask you, Westporters, to guard and hold high her tradition and be as proud of her as we are of being a part of her. Once more we turn for a fleeting glance down these halls where many joyous moments have been spent. And though we may leave in body, New officers elected for next year our spirits and hearts linger on forever in the halls of Westport. Were You There? Did you attend Linwood Grade School? If so, this is your chance to come see your old school chums as well as roam the halls or sit in the seats you once occupied. Recently some of the old grads expressed a desire to go through the school and see it before it is torn down to provide playground space for the new school. -THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1955 Tiger Time MAY State Outdoor Track Meet at Co- lumbia Senior Tiger Den City Track Meet at Southwest Memorial Day Vacation JUNE Senior Day, Senior Luncheon, Sen- ior Assembly, and Junior-Senior All of you who ever attended Lin- wood are invited to come to the Open House Reunion which has been , planned for Sunday, May 22, from 2 7 Commencement Exercises at Mu- nicipal Auditorium Prom 5 Baccalaureate Services to 5 in the afternoon.

' 'AND THE ina as One of the best teas in many years was given to Pundit by Promethean on May 6 in the girls' gym. The tea is an annual affair given by one of the clubs alternately each year. Sigmund Romberg's Maytime was the theme. The gym was decorated like a theater and the program which was in part excerpts from shows of Sigmund Romberg included numbers from each club. The food, served from concession stands, was arranged decoratively on trays. Lemonade, fudge, pink divinity, cookies, hors d'oeuvres and mixed nuts made up the refreshments. Stage and Screen is planning a pic- nic at Swope Park. After the picnic the members will take a tour through the Starlight Theater. Committees are very busy working onthe play.

Novelty Westport will have a new and very different assembly early in May, which will feature modern dance. The Fresh- man, Sophomore, Junior and Senior girls in the physical education classes have been working hard for many weeks in preparation for this novelty. Since Westporters have little knowl- edge of this art, they are looking for- ward to its presentation.

It was held at the World War II Memorial building April 20. The banquet was attended by ap- proximately 500 people, including Mr. Esther and Dick Campbell from Westport. Dick, representing the Westport community, made a speech telling what we have and what we hope to accomplish in this area. The V, I. P.'s in attendance included William E. Kemp, Mark W. Bills, and Mayor Bartle. The centerpiece for the banquet was designed and made by Miss Beck's nrt class. It showed the old and the new Westport.

At the other end was an old building, a cowboy, and a brokendown horse. ult was one of the most attractive of fifteen represented, and attracted favorable comment, stated Mr. Esther.

Lenore went to Drury College, Springfield, Missouri, and took a com- petitive test along with fourteen other prospective college students. XVhen the scores were tallied the re- sults showed Lenore was on top. Her scholarship is worth S1500 and covers a period of four years. Alice was awarded the Se:1rs-Roe- buck scholarship. Each year a schol- arship is presented to each high school in Kansas City by Sears and Roebuck. The candidates are judged on their scholastic ability and school activities. Alices's scholarship is worth 5275 for one year. Dan Acuff, Barbara O'Connor and Gary Teegarden received the flight scholarships given each year to mem- bers of the aeronautics class. Eugene Vandegrift was named alternate. The awards were made April 25 by Mrs. L. J. Verderber, a member of the Women's National Aeronautical As- sociation. The scholarship entitles the student to a few hours of flight train- ing, participation in navigation on two cross-country flights, and at least one lesson on the Link Trainer. Mrs. Verderber expressed the hope that more funds would be available next year so that a larger number of schol- arships could be given to aeronautic students. 3 Playlets Entertain An interesting assembly was pre- sented on Friday, April 22, when Miss Cecile Burton's 6th hour class gave three one-act plays.

Ambrose Applejohn fGary Teegar- denj is bored with life and wants to get away and find adventure. How- ever, Poppy Faire his ward, QBarbara Churchj is secretly in love with him. Both she and Mrs. Agatha What- combe, fLucretia Gablej are against his leaving. Portraying crooks, Jerry Slonecker and Diane Haywood, as Mr. and Mrs. Pengard, use many tactics in their de- sire to obtain the fortune advertised at the Applefohn estate. This treasure was unknown to Ambrose. The true villainess and vamp Lenore Yeager, who has the part of Anna Valeska, a Russian dancer, seeks thc treasure, too. She is being pursued by Ivan Borolsky QPaul Jonesj. Since Ambrose is warned that peo- ple are after his fortune, he tries to stay awake all night to guard it. But during this time he falls asleep and has fascinating dreams which picture him as a notorious pirate. He and Borolsky are in the evil clutches of Anna, who nearly tricks Ambrose. This plot is very complicated and involves johnny Jason, Qwaymon El- ledgej, a salesman, and Dennet, the posing policeman. Lush, the butler, who in real life is Charles Sampson, helps make the way for the action. A treasure map adds to the adventure and is sought after by the crooks. If you want to try to figure it out, be sure to come and see the play. Remember-May 13 and 14 for Cap- tain Applejackf' under the direction of Mr. Edwin J. King.

So long. 25th Reunion The twenty-fifth reunion of the class of 1930 was held on Friday, April 15, at the University Club. Three men who were present and have never missed the annual reunion are George Edwards of the physical department of the University of Mis- souri at Columbia, J. L. Shouse, and R. V. Harman. Mr. Edwards was the Westport football and basketball coach in 1918 and 1919. Mr. Shouse was the principal and Mr. Harman was a member of the Westport faculty and manager of the athletic teams. Harry Jenks, pianist for KMBC and a Westport graduate, was a wel- come member of the orchestra that played at the reunion. Mr. Jenks is now teaching piano and organ. His studio is in the KMBC building. Many old memories were recalled when friends, who had not seen each other for years were reunited. Recog- nition was given to the person who had the least hairg the person who had the largest family flargest was eightj and many others. From out of town some of the vis- itors were: Dr. Karl Dietrick, Colum- bia, Mo.g Herb Darnell, Memphis, Dr. G. A. Esslinger, Berkeley, Calif., Gil- bert Hardacre, Chicagog Martin Lyle, Wichita, Frank Pilley, Toledo, O., and Arch Richards, Los Angeles. How Annual Reunions Started: Mr. Jack Haas was a former gal- loping halfback on the Wfestport foot- ball team and one of the school's best basketball players as well. Mr. Haas went from here to Yale University, worked in the East and did not return to Kansas City until 1931. Then he decided to have a dinner reunion of the Westport football and basketball players of 1918 and 1919, and those reunions have taken place annually since. Mr. Holloway received a lovely desk set inscribed with his name and The Class of 1930. His comment on the reunion was that he was sorry that some of the teachers who knew the students better than he fhe had been at Westport for only a yearj were not all present. They missed a fine dinner and a thrilling experience. Five Westporfers Acknowleclged Five Juniors and Seniors in Mfss Brubaker's English classes received written notices of their excellent work in essays on Civil Defense. They are Nancy Johanning, Bar- bara Luedig, Richard Faulkner, How- ard Barnum, and John Filson. This contest was sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary of Veterans of Foreign Wars. P.T.A. Activities The P.T.A. held a card party April 30 at the Westminister Congregation- al Church. The tickets sold for 50c and the proceeds will be used to send the president, Mrs. J. F. Hendford, to the national convention in Chicago. The Mutual Help Drive sponsored by the P.T.A. has been completed. Thanks go to all those who donated clothing. 3 EDITORIALS In June the Senior Class of 1955 will be leaving Westport to travel road of life. But before going, this class wishes to pay along the tribute to the teachers of Westport who have so generously devoted their time and knowledge to prepare us for our journey. With much pride we have seen many honor students graduate from Westport in recent years. Many honors were won. It has always been our desire to live up to the high standards that those students before us have established. Now that we are seniors, we look back upon the many privileges that were so willingly given to us. Though we may not have come up to the teacher's expectations at times, our hunger for learning will never cease. It is our hope that the underclassmen who follow in our foot steps will appreciate their teachers, and think as much of Westport as we do. If George Washington were able, by some miracle, to return to his beloved country, what would he think of the America of 1955? Washington, who refused to let America set him up as a king be- cause he felt that the people should rule-what would he think of the citizens who are too busy, too lazy, or too disinterested to vote for their president? Washington, who endured all the hardships and privations of Valley Forge for the cause of American freedom-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 every- day living-what would he think of our everyday living-what would he think of the crime, vice, and corruption which one finds in the glaring headlines of the daily newspaper and blazing over the news- casts of the radio and television stations throughout our nation? George Washington would undoubtedly be amazed at the mech- anized marvels of the twentieth century-rockets, jet planes, radar, atomic devices, and the other wonders that man has invented. Yes, he would be amazed but also saddened. To think that such examples of man's ingenuity should be used for man's destruction, to find that man, rapidly progressing in medicine, 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 Godf, One of the purposes of the paper is to give recognition to those who have earned it. A student who would like his name to appear in the CRIER should strive to earn such recognition. The CRIER is for your enjoyment and any suggestions that you have for the last CRIER would be greatly appreciated. The school paper must have your help and suggestions in order to be successful.

Repeat Performance You who are avid TV fans really got a treat if you were watching Tal- ent Round-up on Monday, April 25. This was the night when seven Westporters displayed their abilities as flappers for all viewers to see. These seniors have done their pantomime dance to the Crazy Otto, by Johnny Maddox, several times and received great ovation for it. Dancing before the real, live cam- eras of WDAF's TV station, they par- ticipated in a talent program spon- sored weekly by Jack Boring. Since you will read this article after a decision is reached, it can only be said that your vote counted and was appreciated. Chris Ruf, Jolene Hammons, Joy Coughenour, Lenore Yeager, Arlene Yadon, and Marcia Zander were the dolls. Beverly Hayes, their able piano player, wasn't shown, but she acted as spokesman for the group. They did a good job and should be commended on their performance. Left to right: Jessie Gonzales, Lucretia Gable, and Connie Bondurant, part of Pundits presentation at the Literary So- ciety Tiger Den. Davis Wins Howard Davis, a Westport Senior, scored 465 of a possible 500 points to win first place in the City Road-E-O contest sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Howard re- ceived 239 of a possible 300 on a very diiiicult driving test and 196 of a possible 200 on a written examination. The driving test consisted of a par- allel parking test, stopping at a line on the pavement in forty feet from 20 miles an hour, driving through a lane of tennis balls set at 25-foot in- tervals, and weaving backward and forward through a course of three barrels set at 23 feet apart within a 24-foot roadway. Howard will receive an expense- paid trip to Sikeston, Missouri in June to compete in the state finals. The winner there will go to the national Road-E-O Hnals to be held in Wfash- ington, D. C. in July. The winners there will receive 53,000 in scholar- ships. Howard placed second in the Troop A district driving competition at Warrensburg on April 16. Barbara O'Connor also competed in the con- test, which was sponsored by the Mis- souri State Highway Patrol, and placed fourth in the girl's division. This test consisted of a written exam- ination and Hve driving skill tests. Lit Night A Success The April 23 Tiger Den prove.l to be a gala affair! For the first time :i Lit Nightt' was held and jackets of the various clubs could be seen every- where. The program, presented by the Hve literary societies, began with a skit introducing Promethean's officers and members. The girls, seated in a circle and waving purple and white stream- ers, joined in a yell, led by the cheer- leaders. Bruce Houdek, assisted by mem- bers of Wilson, presented their por- tion of the program, which might be called Comedy Minutes. It consist- ed of gags as interpreted by Bruce, Bob Kline, Jim Jarvis, Dick Hines Clint Kelly and Howard Barnum. Introduced by their president, Lu- cretia Gable, a minstrel pantomime to Frankie Laine's Rain'l was pre- sented by the Pundit girls. They were dressed in levis, white blouses and red bow ties. Peggy Bullock of Dana introduced two talented members of Dana. Bar- bara West, accompanied by her broth- er Fred, sang If I Were a Bell and Sonia Bishoff played a selection on her accordion. Those present were privileged to view the latest spring clothes as mod- eled by the boys in Browning. Gary Teegarden did an excellent job of de- scribing the beautiful creations. f?j 3 Open House Planned Open House, May 18, will be held at an earlier time than usual this year.

The program was opened by the choir in their traditional blue and gold robes, singing a group of sacred num- bers. The Girls' Glee Club then sang their choral selections, followed by the Freshman Girls' Glee Club with some spring songs. All the groups then filed onto the stage in a colorful array of costumes: the A Capella Choir members in fluffy formals and white dinner jacketsg the Girls' Glee Club in their flannel jump- ers with touches of sparkling jewelryg and the Freshman Girls' Glee Club in the aqua skirts and White blouses, which they had made. A choral prologue, Salutation, preceded a preview of the Starlight Theater operettas. Selections from Naughty Marietta were presented first, featuring Bruce I-Ioudek and Heidi Remde as soloists. The Girls' Glee Clubis interpreta- tion of March of the Toys from Babes in Toyland, was striking, and was one of the highlights of the pro- gram. Guys and Dolls, was represented by If I Were a Bell sung by Bar- bara West, and A Bushel and a Peck by the Girls' Sextette. Old Devil Moon, by the Boys, Quartet, was one of the songs chosen from Finian's Rainbowf' From Cole Porter Selectionsf' the choir took 'Begin the Beguinef, and the tricky arrangement of this number made it another high spot in the pro- gram. Blow Gabriel, by the Boys' Quartet, and In the Still of the Night, sung by the choir and Keytha Sharp, soloist, were other Cole Porter favorites. Selections from Bittersweet, with a solo by Barbara Coonce, and several songs from Brigacloon were next on the program. Wrong Note Rag, from 'Wonder- ful Town, sung by the Freshman Girls demanded precise timing, and was excellently done. The program closed with selections from South Pacific, and Saluta- tioni' was repeated by the entire group. Mrs. Spring and Marilyn Sievert were the accompanists. Tribute was paid by Mr. Spring to the substitute teacher, Mrs. Ralph S. Taylor, for her help in preparing the concert during his absence.

Do you have school spirit even though the year is almost over? If you do, you can show it by going to Hall's at 1114 Grand on April 16-23 and voting for Westportis table setting. This year for the annual contest we have an entree. Westport did her share in planning and giving time- consuming energy into table settings. This is done by the home economic de- partments of the Kansas City high schools. Popular vote counts 25121, and Westport needs the support of the stu- dent body to help win. Door prizes will be given, and a large silver tray will be the prize for the best table setting. Yes, you can vote! And the cable to vote for is Sixth Birthday -Wesu port's. The students who worked as a team on the setting were: Rose Mary Hard- ing, Marilyn Waltner, Carolyn Jones, Sandra Henderson, and Rose Marie Darling. Future Architects Ronnie Carlson, a Westport junior, is now S50 richer. Ronnie recently won third place in the Modern Home Build- ing Contest sponsored by the Kansas City Home Builders' Association. The yearly contest is open to students in drafting classes of high schools in the Kansas City area. Ronnie made the original plans and built a model of the home. He plans to enter it in a similar contest sponsored by the Ford Motor Company, which will be held in Detroit, Michigan in June. Robert Sandquist, a Westport senior, was also an entrant in the contest with ai tri-level model. fi Visitors Speak The honor of attending the Council of World Affairs was brought to Westport April lst in an assembly or- ganized by Miss Wheeland. Christine Ruf introduced Mr. Pow- ell, President of the Council of World Affairs, who made it possible for West- port to hear, as guest speaker, Mr. Haddad of Syria. Mr. Haddad has attended Universi- ties in Asia, Europe, and America, and is greatly interested in teaching his- tory, and promoting interest in the World Affairs. In speaking about the Arabian countries, he explained the many problems that the people faced, and their great development in gov- ernment and industries. In conclusion, he expressed the need of friendship of the East and the West for a more unit- ed force in solving problems in the World Affairs. , After his talk, Westporters were given an opportunity to ask Mr. Had- dad questions about the different World problems of today. Sophomore Sees Capitol It was an interesting and educa- tional experience, replied Lynn Evans when asked about a recent trip she took. Lynn, a sophomore at Westport this year, was chosen from her class to represent Westport in a pilgrimage to jcierson City, March 25. The Missouri Federation of Women's Clubs sponsored this annual tour of the capitol and the governor's man- sion. Interesting talks on citizenship and governmental operations were heard by the students. Lynn was carefully selected by a group of Westport teachers for her scholarship and leadership in school activities. She has profited and was lucky to go and gain the experience it offered.

City Hall Day City Hall Day was a lot of fun and very educational for the nine West- porters who attended. The whole day was planned and sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. All the participants met in the morning in the council chambers where both Mayor Kemp and City Manager Cookingham spoke to them. Then they each met their own counterparts and went to their separate offices. They had lunch at the Continental Hotel. After lunclz they all piled into two chartered buses and took a tour of the city. New hous- ing developments and traffic ways were pointed out to them. After the tour, they returned to the city hall for the council meeting. Those from Westport attending were: Bob Mace , . ..... Municipal Judge Wfayde Fredrickson . . .

April 11, three students from Miss Cannonls morning C L class visited the WHB Studio in order to see it in operation and reported their adven- tures to the students when they re- turned. In addition to this fine experi- ence they also met three of the studio's top disc jockies. The three students to make the trip were Marilyn Boone, Bonnie Cady, and Katie Fouble.

Needed: 2 Yearbooks Starting with the year 1902, the CRIER-,HERALD room has a yearbook for every year up to the present except for the years 1944 and 1947. Perhaps you or someone you know has one of these yearbooks and would be willing to donate it to us so that we might have a complete set for reference. If you do have, please contact Miss Stewart in Room 4. Fashion Faols ln Michigan the present summer fad involves both boys and girls. White is the new color. Boys wear white canvas slacks, shirts, socks, and white bucks. The same applies to the female sex. But to dress them up they cut pieces of red, blue, green, or some bright color and sew them on collars, and cuffs. They let them hang from hip and blouse pockets. All these ma-- terials are easily washable even thc orlon jackets. But in Kansas City what is the latest in fashion raves? For the weaker sex they are wearing the new Torso look. Many of your summer cottons have belts slung low around the hips. Southwest is sporting Bermuda shorts on the boys with knee length argyle socks to cover up those muscle bound legs of theirs. White shirts with charcoal gray shorts seem to be the favorite in color with black and white argyles. Do they ever look cute? The boys also wear size an to 9 which is the popular size saddle oxfords. Black and white preferred. Cardigan collared blouses seem to be the easiest to mix and match with those accessories for summer at East. Baby doll sleeves give that feminine appeal that all of us gals like. Well that's the fashion news for this week guys and dolls. What new fashion fad will Westport come up with?????? Maybe, Westport's boys will wear white ascots in their shirts and the gals bracelets around their ankles. OH WELL?????? Prescriptions . . .

Yours is a life of fun and activity, gaiety and excitement. You have re- ceived many honors and won many friends. This is Your Westport Life -Ann Rock. As an eighth grader you enter Westport in 1950. Soon you are swept into the ways of Westport-the games, the plays, the Tiger Dens. In 1951 as a Freshman you become a member of Pundit Literary Society and Pep Club. Your sophomore year you join your friends at Valentines for your favorites --hamburgers and cokes. Dancing be- comes a favorite pastime and you swoon', to the singing of Nat King Cole. Your junior year you have the honor of leading the cheering section as an alternate cheerleader. Your hon- ors increase, as in your senior year you are elected president of Pep Club, Flirt on the Senior Ballot and be- APRIL 21, 1955 come a princess in the Auto Show. You are kept busy with your activities as a Health Center assistant, member of the CRIER-HERALD staff and your partici- pation in debates. This brings your life up to the present, Ann. Now let's take a look at your future. After your graduation from Westport, you will enter the pro- fession of modeling and we are sure you will be as successful in that field as you were at Westport. You rank among the top in your class. You excel not only scholastical- ly, but also in your ability to win friends. You are a good athlete and an active senior. Gene Vandegrift, This is Your Westport Lifef' Your life at Westport begins in 1950 when you enter as an eighth grader. This is an active year for you. After your busy days at school you hurry home for your favorite dish, your mother's roast beef. Your freshman year, your activities really begin. You become a member of the Honor Society and play football on the second team. Your sophomore year finds you serving as treasurer of your class. You also become a member of Irving and W Club. Your honors increase your junior year as you are elected sergeant-at-arms of your class and become a member of Wilson Liter- ary Society. This year you receive a letter on the first football team. Your senior year holds more honors for you as your classmates elect you secretary of the class and Best dentv on the Senior Ballot. This has been your past-the next Yale Stu- big thing in your life will be University which you will enter after graduation. Ballet cmd Westport On Saturday April 2, the lights were dimmed at the Atkins Auditorium in the Nelson Art Gallery, giving the signal to begin the colorful ballet, Susan Goes to the Art Gallery. This occurrence was primarily news- worthy for two reasons. First, it was a new event for this region carried out by the Kansas City Dance Theatre, now celebrating the first anniversary of its organization. This newly-formed group gives people of this locale who are interested in all phases of the the- ater, ample opportunity to express their potentialities by presenting shows during the year. On this program several objects of art in the various collections at the gallery were brought to life on the stage by means of ballet. Among those were the late 18th century painting, Tambourine Girl, the Meisen group, Harlequin and Columbinef' and the famous painting, Dancing Children by Le Nain. An impressive dance was done with three huge glowing Japan- ese Noh masks in complete darkness All of the dances were tied together by an informative dialogue. The sets were quite colorful and the costuining was exquisite. Secondly, this show was newsworthy because the production crew consisted of three Westporters-james Moore, Bob Vorce, and Roger Tindle. For weeks before the performance they built and painted scenery after school and on Saturdays. They also were in charge of lighting the show with spe- cial effects. Heather Johnson painted the set for The Tambourine Girlf' Don Smith and Dale Ludwig were members of the stage crew. Singing Scars from Auditorium Beautiful music arose from the auditorium at Westport on Tuesday, April 12. This was the day of the City Solo Contest, held each year. Judges from throughout the area came and heard the students of the various high schools sing. The con- testants were judged on many things. The requirements were that they should sing two numbers of contrast- ing nature-a sad one and a gay one for example. Soloists entering from Westport were: Barbara Coonce and Shirley Waters, thigh voicejg Keytha Sharp, fmediumjg Lyle Wyly, fhighj, Bob Carpenter and Virgil Broyles, Qme- diumj. The Girls' Sextette composed of Mary Heaberlin, Barbara Coonce, Janis Blackwell, Karen Robinson, Pat Mun- den, and Donna Tompkins entered the contest. Holding up the boys' side was the Boys' quartet with Sam Perez, Lyle Vfyly, Bob Carpenter, and Virgil Broyles. Ratings were given and those who qualify may compete in the state con- test at Missouri University, April 29. 3 Let's Get the Job Done Excuse. The word excuse immediately suggests just one meaning and that is failure -failure to meet what is expected of you--failure to get the job done. Have you ever stopped to think of the many times you have had to make excuses for your failures? The next time you are about to make an excuse, stop and think. Just how would it sound if you honestly and sincerely admitted your failure? It has been said that you needn't make excuses to your friends, for if they are your friends they'll understand, and if they're your enemies they won't believe you anyway. It is great to be right, but it's greater to acknowledge it when youire wrong. Doing a thing is better than just being able to do it. Remember itis work that producesg mere smartness is not nearly enough. You can- not cash in on excuses, so no matter what the job-lessons, plans for a party, work for pay-let's get the job done! Westport Crier Policy Since April 4, 1913, when the WESTPORT CRIER was first established, it has always upheld its editorial policy. The platform of the CRIER, which is the representative publication of Westport High School, is as follows: 1. Stimulation of interest and participation in school, community, and national affairs. 2. Promotion of school talent, both journalistic and otherwise. 3. Provision of a publication through which Westport may obtain commendable publicity and through which the student body may ex- press its ideas and opinions. 4. Building of the vitally necessary quality, school spirit. Are You Thankful? The time of the year has finally arrived when plants are turning their loveliest, flowers are blooming, and birds are singing. Spring is here at last. But do we, the citizens of a free U. S. ever take time out to give thanks for such gifts of God? It is not for one human being to judge this answer, but for each individual to take inventory of himself. There are in the world today many persons who cannot enjoy the beautiful visions in the same ways. Some people are shut-ins: invalids who must lie in bed all the time, looking upon the beauty of the earth only from a window. Do these people have anything to thank God for? Yes, thanks that they are living and that there is some beauty left in the world today. In a few months, time many students and their families will be dis- missed from school and work, and the whole family will take off to some vacation resort in the mountains or elsewhere for a happy summer of swimming, fishing, horseback riding, etc. Will thanks be given in those hours of happiness and recreation? No one needs to tell a person when and how to give thanks. It is up to you, the individual, for only you know what is in your heart and can make good use of it.

Those representing Westport were: Lillian Bowser, Christine Ruf, Bob Mace, Charles Sampson, Bob Klein, John Stackhouse, Jerry Walker, Irma Fields, Winifred Gahnstrom, Larry Morgan, Dick Faulkner, Waymon El- ledge, Heather Johnson, Barbara South, Dave Acuff, Myra Mather, Mary Webb, Marybeth True, Harry Rupf, Douglas Guy, Bill London, and Judy Kramps.

A group of Westport girls graciously and effectively re- sponded to instruction given by Miss Ruth Biggerstaff, Mrs. LaVelle Hal- bert, Mrs. Jean McBryde, Miss Lou Jean Moyer, and Mrs. Jacqueline Roon- ey. The program included basic fun- damentals of modern dance and crea- tive patterns. Girls from Southeast presented a completed modern dance. The demonstration was unique in that the instructors who worked with the Westport girls were not acquainted with them. The instructors and stu- dents were commended on their re- sponse to such a situation. The modern dance number presented by the group of Southeast students was under the direction of Mrs. Rooney, their teach- er at Southeast.

BURLINGTON CITY TICKET OFFICE . 1033 Grand Avenue BUIIIHQTDH Kansas City, Missouri Phone: BA-2455 E THE WESTPORT CRIER Westport's Top Ten Westport High School has a Top Ten list-a Junior Red Cross list. This year's contributions mounted up to S343.24, and nearly every con- ceivable method of raising funds was employed. There were auctions, cookie sales, cake sales, and candy sales. Fun in the competition, whether within the room or with the school at large, made this annual JRC Membership drive a memorable one. Miss Lorena Card, the school's treas- urer, was kind enough to tally up the top ten rooms with their amounts daily and give them to Miss Marie Brubaker, the JRC sponsor, to post on the front board. By observing these figures everyone could see how the campaign was coming along. Many rooms strived hard to get on this list, and below are the rooms and the amounts of the final tabulation.

Two other students competing were Bob Vegiard and Paul Jones, who were awarded certificates. Last year George Bilby, representing Westport, received S200 as second prize.

The dance, which was sponsored by the graduates of the class of '51 was in memory of two of their classmates, Barbara Wright Loman and Bill Ben- jes. Pat Vohs, Shirley Lindsey and Joyce Miller Williams were in charge of the dance and made the necessary arrangements. The Little Theater was obtained free of charge and Carl Wakefield and his band donated their time and talent for the occasion. Among other firms which donated products for the dance were the Pepsi Cola, 7 Up and Coca Cola companies and many business firms gave merchandise to be given as door prizes. At 11:30 the door prizes were pre- sented and among the lucky winne1's were: Lucy Miller, who received a T. V. chairg Sally Krause, who won a plant, and Mr. Harris, who was given a quart of wine. There was a big turnout for the dance. Most of those attending were graduates of '51 or present Westport students. The tickets, which sold for three dollars a couple, and the drinks, which sold for a dime, brought a profit of over 39400. This money was presented to Mr. New- comer, President of the Kansas City Cancer Society. Spring Play Tryouts Under the direction of Mr. Edwin J. King, the spring play tryouts were held March 21 and 22. The boys tried out on Monday and the girls on Tues- day. On Wednesday those who re- ceived the vote of all five judges were called back for the second tryout. Then on Thursday the members of the cast were chosen by Miss Wheeler and Mr. King and the players were an- nounced. The five members of the judging board were: Miss Burton, Miss Wheel- er, Miss Brubaker, Miss Beck, and Mr. King, director. It has long been the tradition at Westport for the name of the play to be withheld until final decision has been made as to the cast. This is done in order to prevent any person get- ting advance copies and to give each person an equal chance.

He not only saw the Athletics, but was also entertained in other ways. The boys went fishing and swimming on a two-million dollar yacht. Jimmy was chosen to go from a 3 and 2 League in which he plays. Congratulations! The news is out! A winner for the Head the Column Contest has been chosen. The artistis name is Monetia Stev- ens, a pupil in Mr. Clark's afternoon Common Learning's class.

Thanks go to all who participated and drew up suggestions. Congratulations to you, Monetia. You did a good job! A nameless snake who was bored with a review session of the Missouri Constitution decided to take a tour of Westport. The snake, who was in Room 305, made a start toward Room 306, but was stopped short by Mr. Hunt's voice and more Missouri Con- stitution questions. After a somewhat exciting visit to Miss Durboraw's Homemaking class, the snake was tak- en home by its owner. The snake was brought to school by Georgia Foglesong. Georgia was de- termined to make an E in speech so decided to use her pet snake. This was her second pet to come visiting. A lizard spent one morning demon- strating to the class that it could be nice and friendly. The snake is still nameless, but be- came somewhat of a personality while at Westport. The Up and Down of It Please sign here, read the petition in the teacher's room a few weeks ago. The petition was for elevators here in Westport. All the teachers who wanted them were asked to sign the petition. It was signed by all the faculty. An answer to the request for ele- vators sent in by Mr. Holloway was received the 14th of March. The re- ply from Dr. G. Dewey Smith, the Assistant Superintendent in charge of Buildings and Grounds, read: . . . . I have been not only mind- ful, but-concerned about the lack of this facility in your school for some time. I am sure that it is not a mat- ter of need but rather one of method by which necessary funds can be ob- tained for this project. In setting up a tentative program for future build- ing needs in Kansas City, this item has been placed among those of more urgency. I have a feeling that during our next building program this can be done. At this time, I d0n't see how it can be done with our current operating funds. Mr. Hollowayls statement was that elevators in the near future are un- likely but that Westport would, even- tually, get them. Attention Westporters Thursday, April 7, is a date to re- member. On this day all Westporters and any member of their family over ten years of age are asked to have their chests X-rayed. Once a month from January to June each person in high school is invited to have this done. You are all urged to go. Have your chest x-rayed. PUT YOUR MIND AT REST-X-RAY YOUR CHEST!

The two who were not chosen are Pat Flathers and Sam Perez. Patty, because of her sober manner fshe never cracks a smilej, was not voted Comedienne on the Senior Ballot. She does not belong to such organizations as: Honor Society, in which she does not hold the Silver Ping the Pep Club, or Stage and Screen. She was not Vice-President the first semester of Pundit and she was never on the Student Council Executive Board for three years. She doesn't know a word of Spanish and does not belong to tl1e Spanish Club. Patricia hates to eat, especially French Fried Shrimp and Swedish Smorgasborg. Her worst subject is art. She does not plan to continue school at Central Missouri State Teachers' College. She is not 5'3 , MARCH 31,1955 does not have black hair or brown eyes. As Patty is so meek and quiet she has never been popular with the students of Westport. The man who was not chosen for Tiger Twosome is Sam Perez. Sam, because of his rude ways, was voted Meanest on the Senior Ballot. He despises spaghetti and meat balls. He is not a member of the Boys' Quartet and because of his dislike for singing he did not com- pete in the City and State Music Contest. He does not care for the color of blue nor for Wichita fwhere Dee livesj University. He is very inactive so he does not belong to Browning or El Circulo Calderon nor was he past president of the latter or of a cappella choir. Tall Sam does not have black eyes and does not like Sincerely by the McGuire Sisters. He, like Patty, is not well-known for his sweet personality in the halls of Westport. So, in beginning this column we would like to say: APRIL FOOL!!! Demonstration by Business Edueotion Department On March 29 the Business Educa- tion Department presented a demon- stration for an eighth grade assembly. Several students showed the funda- mentals of the different subjects they were studying. The correct uses of the typewriter, adding machine, cal- culator, mimeograph, ditto, Ediphone, and the use of dictation were present- ed. Those participating were: Miss Galatas, Sally Taylor, Sondra Ramsey, Lucile Riegelman, Sally Krause, Pat Brown, Charlene Winkfield, Carl Carl- son, Sue Collins, Beverly Hayes, Mar- cia Zander, Carol Murphy, Ann Hitch- cock, Zandra Owen, Mildred Nickell, Nancy Hunter, Dan Acuff, Mary Fawks, Norma Saunders, Mr. Ballan- tyne, and Miss Totten. The purpose of the assembly was to acquaint the eighth graders with the Business Education Department, so that they will have a better under- standing of what subjects are offered in the commercial field. Speech Art Winners Friday, March 11, was the date of the Speech Arts Oratory Contest. Although fewer people entered this than the reading contest, those who competed were good, and it was dif- ficult to choose a winner. The ora- tions were memorized and five min- utes long. The judges, Mr. Edgar Harris and Miss Cecile Burton, polled their votes and Paul Jones and Waymon Elledge were announced the victors. Paul's selection was an original, the oration he used for the American Le- gion Oratorical Contest. Toussaint L'Ouverture,,' by Wendell Phillips, the selection given by Waymon, entitled him to share the spotlight. No first and second places will be announced in either the reading or oration contests until the speech as- sembly, April 29, when the two in each division compete. Anyone for ci Tennis Shoe, Size 13? Have you lost an old, black tennis shoe, size 15? If you have, you'll probably find it in the Lost and Found Department in the office. The large collection of ugoodiesi' in the office consists of: fountain pens, jewelry, gloves, billfolds, purses, scarves, books, watches, money and papers. Many books that students should be using are lying idle on the shelf in the office. Two watches that were turned in in the last few months still have not been claimed. If you have lost a book or purse or anything, go ask about it-you might find the trip profitable! Alumni Receive Honors A former Westport graduate has been elected captain of the 1956 bas- ketball team at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Bernard Benson, who will be a sen- ior at M. I. T. next year, graduated from Westport in 1952. While at Westport, Bernard was an honor stu- dent and received all-star honorable mention on 1952's fifth place round- ball team. He is also living up to being Most Likely to Succeed which he won on the Senior Ballot. Sandy Reynolds, a former West- porter, was one of the six candidates for queen of the Rhetor Ball at War- rensburg. The dance was held in the Morrow Gymnasium at Central Mis- souri State College, March 18. Sandy was very active at Westport before she graduated in '53. 3 EDITORIALS Do you think you could do a better job? Do you think you could im- prove the Crier? If not, stop here, but if you consider yourself possessed of true literary talent, read on. The requirements are an S or E average in your English during high school and an okay from your English teacher. Now you may already have these scholastic requirements fulfilled, but can you pass the physical? You should love to read copy until you're blind, not mind doing without fingernails' for a year Qyou wear them down on the typewriterjg have an encyclopedia and a dictionary for a head, always be on the alert for a storyg and enjoy staying after school and getting all glued up . Of course you will reap a bushel of fun, too! What could be more fun than having blood-shot eyes? Or having your friends call you Cyrano because of that nose-for-news you've developed? But all the aches and pains suddenly disappear when you see your words-your story in print. And no one can describe the excitement you feel when you get a scoop. Working, slaying, sighing over the CRIER when it's finally out, and waiting for the criticism that follows each issue, make life a never a dull moment affair. Even though it is hard work, it's fun, and you should consider this course as a possible candidate for your program in your Senior year. You may decide you could do a better job fwe of the CRIER Staff doubt this, but-J sign up and show us.- Ah! Spring is here and once more a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of playing hookey. A young woman's fancy turns to such ideas also. Here are a few advantages of that spring fever feeling: QU If it is warm, don't plan on going to school, instead, go horseback riding fthat way you can stay out a few days longer because youill be so sore you can,t sit down in class.j Q21 If it's real warm, go swimming Cand if you catch cold, there's a few more days in your favor.j C35 If you get the chance, go riding in a convertible. Of course you'll have such a sore throat the next day you can't talk, but then you can't have everything. C41 You could go bicycle riding. But your muscles will ache so, that you'll have to lie in one position all night with a heating pad on the groaning muscles. Too bad! CBJ Of course there's always tennis to fall back on, or rather fall down on. Many more sports could be named but there's really only one solution. Five advantages have been named so it is only fair to name the one dis- advantage, respectfully called Mr. Esther. As you can see the only solution to that spring fever feeling is-put on blinkers, stuff cotton in your ears, put a clothes pin on your nose, plaster a smile on your face and quietly mutter, Ah, Spring! .U be Westport tier emnifl-tzur 59' ll' Hou m y 315 East Thirty-Ninth Street, Kansas City, Missouri 5 2 Published bi-weekly during the school year by the news- 5 '41 writing class of Westport High School, Kansas City, Missouri. 1 Q XJQQLL Entered as second-class matter April 4, 1928, at the post Q' XQX oiiice at Kansas City, Mo., under the Act of March 3, 1879. 459: Shirley Baxley, Lillian Bowser, Bob Carpenter, Nancy Connelly, Joy Coughenour, Lucretia Gable, Jolene Hammons, Carolyn Harrison, Beverly Hayes, Jeanne Lang, Barbara Martin, Sara Matchett, Lucille Miller, James Moore, Connie Motes, Patricia Mueller, Ann Rock, Conchitn Reyes, Lucile Riegelman, Christine Ruf, Marilyn Sievert, Arlene Yadon, Lenore Yeager. 2 THEN 1, ve! ' -Nfl? cvx ' iff The theme of Dragnet was used at the last meeting of Pundit Liter- ary Society. The new members planned and participated in a pro- gram under the direction of Cap- tain Marcia Zander, Pundit's vice- president. Aching backs and calloused hands were the result of a paper sale by the W Club on March 19. It seems that these boys are not only athletes, but hard workers also. They drove about the city Saturday, March 19, in four trucks collecting mountains of paper, which they later sold. The new members presented a very entertaining program on March 18 for the oldsters of Promethean. Plans were also discussed for the an- nual Pundit-Promethean Tea which will be given to Pundit this year by Promethean. Literary society members are re- minded that the deadline for the Es- say contest is April 1. El Circulo Calderon celebrated its 45th anniversary by holding a semi- formal acceptance tea on Friday, March 11.

A committee presented the petition. A large number of Westport people were present and added mate- rially to the effectiveness of the pre- sentation. Four committee members appeared before the Council on that day and spoke for the Westport Com- munity Center Building. The Council has stated that the next community building from the bond money will be built in the Westport area. The committee has had three con- ferences with Dr. Hayes Richardson, Director of Recreation in Kansas City, and he has given invaluable assistance and advised the committee on proce- dures. On March 16th, the committee ap- peared before the Park Board and re- quested the location of the building at 39th and Gillham. Members of the Board, their engineer, Mr. Lewis, and the architects were very gracious and agreed to meet with the local West- port Community Building Commit- tee and select one or more acceptable sites on the park property near 39th and Gillham. Mr. Baxter is President of the Westport Community Council, Mrs. Kreutzman, local chairman of the project, and Mr. Esther, chairman of Plans Committee. Students in Mr. Wilcox's draft- ing class are preparing a map of the park properties between 38th and 44th along Gillham Blvd., to be used within the next week or ten days when the Park Board meets with the local com- mittee to select the proposed site.

Jack Ross Tiger All-Stars Twice football all-star Jack Ross has been selected as a member on the Interscholastic League's 1955 All-Star basketball first team. The Tigeris 5'9 guard was a big factor in their league victories this year. The other four places went to Roger Wendell and Bob Leonard Perkins Middleton of East, Leland Harms from Northeast and Don Hymer from Southeast. Following this selection, Jack landed a berth on the second team All-District. Leonard Perkins received honorable mention to become Westport's other representative. Congratulations, Jack and Leonard! '59 President-Kline! After carrying petitions, painting posters, campaigning for the candi- dates, and totaling votes, the eighth graders elected their class officers on Wednesday, March 16. Heading the class of '59 as president is Roy Kline. Serving under Roy will be Susan Ludwig, vice-ptesidentg Mary Kay Hamarstrom, secretaryg Judy Bal- less, treasurerg and Sandy Shrout, ser- geant-at-arms. The business commit- tee is composed of four members: Judy Dando, Phyllis Hockaday, Marilyn Boone and Sandy Little. On the ex- ecutive board of the Student Council are Patrick Hill, Mike Gafney, Ann Rueckert and Juanita Russel. The eighth grade election is run in a different manner than the other class elections. The person who has the highest number of votes chooses the position he wants. That is, if the person who receives the most votes chooses the oiiice of President and the next in line chooses to be vice-presi- dent, they receive those positions. Much credit is due to the eighth grade sponsor, Mr. Klepinger. 45th Anniversary Amid the exciting and romantic at- mosphere of South America and Peru, the stage was set for a meeting of El Circulo Calderon. This meeting, Friday, March 11, was different from others, because it was the 45th anniversary celebration of the club. This organization is thought to be the oldest one of its kind west of the Mississippi river. Members were dressed in gay party clothes, and everyone was prepared for the South American journey led by Kay Newman, the vice-president. The annual reading of the constitu- tion in Spanish was executed very well by Sam Perez. Xavier Moreno played a few Spanish numbers on his violin, and Conchita Reyes accompan- ied him on the piano. The Spanish ver- sion of Vaya Con Dios was sung by Keytha Sharp. A beautiful cake decorated with the name El Circulo Calderon, fruit punch, and cookies were the refresh- ments served, ending the celebration which was enjoyed by over thirty members of the club. .fi . , -1, L X ' ' li DE ' T J Tigers Pound Rams A Westport won their first round game in the Class A regionals by de- feating Hogan 61-35 at Rockhursts, Mason-Halpin Field House, February 22. Hogan took a 3-0 lead at the start, but Leonard Perkins got the Tigers started with a field goal, and after that it was never close. Westport pounded the nets to the tune of a 37- 23 lead at intermission. Because of their superior height, the Tigers controlled the backboard during the entire game.

The Tigers trailed 30-23 at half- time, but came back hot in the third period to overtake the Indians. Joe Samuel and Leonard Perkins led the first half, scoring as Joe hit con- sistently on driving lay-ups and Leon- ard scored on jump shots from the line. It was close to the hnish, but the Tigers scored 8 points in the last IM minutes to ice the victory. As usual Jack Ross and Bob Mace played a great floor game for Westport. Bengals Bow Out Playing a good part of the game without Jack Ross and Leonard Per- kins, Westport lost their first round game to St. Francis Borgia of Wash- ington in the Class A State Tourna- ment at St. Louis, March 1. The usually hot-shooting Knights scored most of their first half points on free throws, as the Tigers were try- ing hard to control the ball, and as a result fouled too often. Leonard Per- kins drew three fouls in the first quar- ter and one early in the second, and was forced to leave the game. Jack Ross and Leonard Perkins each scored a basket to shoot the Tigers into an early 4-0 lead. But St. Francis put on a full court press which forced the Bengals into errors and the Knights ran up a 12-4 lead early in the game. Westport pulled up a 12-10 deficit in the first 8 minutes. Dan Acuff and Bob Mace led in a second period surge which saw West- port tie the game at halftime 25-25. In the second half Westport fell ten points behind as part of the starters rested. Perkins fouled out with 2:29 to go and Jack Ross drew his fifth foul with 0:51 to go in the third quarter. The Tigers pulled within 8 points in the last period, but in the last three and one half minutes, the Knights poured in 17 points on quick lay-ups. Ross led the Tiger attack with 11 points while Joe Samuel chipped in Ruf, Darrel Lathrom, and Clint Kelly qualiiied for the Hnals. In the finals they placed fourth. As a team, Westport also finished fourth in total points behind East, Southwest, and Paseo. On to St. Louis St. Louis, here we comelv That was everybody's comment after West- port trounced Lillis 53-35 for the Class A regional championship February 25, at Rockhurst. This was the second year for the Tigers to go to state. Last year they took third place. Lillis took an early 3-0 lead, but after the Tigers got started, they fol- lowed up a commanding 24-12 lead at intermission. Bob Mace played a bang-up game for the Tigers. Leonard Perkins again led the Tigers scoring, with 14 points. Big Dan Acuff tallied 11 points While Bob Mace and Jack Ross each added 10 to wrap up the victory over the usually hot-shooting Lillis team. After the game, the first place trophy was presented to Jack Ross, and the team carried Coach Hunt oH the court on their shoulders.

THE WESTPORT CRIER New F.T.A. Council Something new has been added-a new council, the F.T.A. City Council. It was initiated Wednesday, March 2, in the downtown Public Library. Mr. Mark Bills, superintendent of the Kan- sas City schools was the guest speaker. He spoke of the advantages of teaching to a group of representatives and sponsors from the various high schools and Junior College. The purpose of this group is to co- ordinate the many F.T.A. clubs throughout the city, and work as a team in their activities. A conclave is planned for May 1, and Westportis club will have seven students working on the numerous committees needed to plan this gath- ering. Workshops, general assemblies, food, discussions, panels, and a worship ceremony comprise the busy day planned, at which many F.T.A. mem- bers are expected to be present. Judy Goss, a Westport graduate of 1953, was elected to the presidency. She is now a sophomore at Junior Col- lege. Paula Bruce, junior, and Lucretia Gable, senior, were our two delegates. Lucretia was elected the secretary- treasurer of the council. Mr. Fiske Miles is the active sponsor for this organization at Westport Speech Arts Winners From more than twenty contestants in the annual Speech Arts Reading Contest, two winners were selected. The lucky duo consists of Barbara Church, who won first place, and Mary Beth True, who came in for a close second. The contest was open only to Speech Arts members, each of whom had to participate in one of the three contests: reading, extemporaneous speaking, and oration. A wide variety of selections was presented. Prose or poetry was ac- ceptable, and all material was to be not more than three minutes, and not memorized. With so many to choose from, the judges, Miss Cecile Burton, Mr. Edwin King, Miss Mary Wheeler, Miss Mary Brubaker, and Mr. Fiske Miles found competition keen. Many thanks go to them from the Speech Arts Club for their time and efforts.

Miner Pulls Switch On Friday, February 18, Mr. Miner pulled a switch and power flowed from his new electric generator. For 46 years alternating current has been used to produce electricity at Westport. During the week of Febru- ary 7 a generator producing direct current was installed by the Board of Education. , This power will be used in the physics laboratory and also the chemis- try room and will be used to power electro-magnets and for lifting heavy objects.

BROADWAY 6 THE WESTPORT CRIER oneness was C3 oo ,, A pleasant good day to all of you. This is your Under the Clock reporter Isabella Ella bringing you the latest happenings about the wonderful trip to the State Tournament, Tuesday, March 1. At 5:00 many sleepy people were trying to feel for clothes and eat what ever breakfast they could find. And for Joy Coughenour and Nancy Johanning it was peanut butter and jelly sand- wiches. My what a hearty breakfast to start the day! About 6:00 everyone was loading on the busses. It looked to me like some people were traveling light. Vance Morris, Charlie White and Jeffrey Sheldon brought only themselves. They had fun making jokes about poor Lil- lian Bowser, who must have been planning to stay a long time. It was her fourth trip to the bus and her arms were full of clothes. It was nice of her mother to help with the rest of the loads because Cecil, the bus driver, was getting impatient. It seemed strange that it was rain- ing on Jolene Hammons inside the bus, but not on the outside. After a few seconds she realized it was sticky milk. Two half-gallons had spilled over the luggage carrier above her head. It was a mad scramble cleaning it up. Clothes and food were wet. Congratulations are in order for Tommy Sheldon and Vicky Bowen. Oh! What a boy. Girls do not be fooled by Tommy's bashful ways, he is quite a lover. Marcia Zander's bed-time stories were appreciated by all. In fact Nadine Carter, Darlene Herman and Jean Lang were practically falling out of their seats with excitement. When lunch time arrived Lucile Riegelman was so hungry she became greedy over Vicky Bowen's ice cream. When after grabbing the cone it fell to the ground, it looked as though Vicky was going to pick it up but- Oh! I don't think chocolate ice cream is very becoming with Lucile's hair. The only way to end this colum is to send our grateful thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Toevs, Mrs. Acuff, Mrs. Samuel, Mrs. Bure, and Mr. and Mrs. Mc- Naughton. Without their sincere efforts and pa- tient understanding the student body would not have been able to partici- pate in this exciting and fun-filled day in St. Louis! Thanks!

Mr. King: Now my ideal student would be one who practices courtesy, looks and acts intelligent, dresses neat- ly, and likes people. I have many ideal students.

It seems everyone's name was in print but her's. Alice Eisenhour we are very sorry! Ronnie Oltens and Mike Miller, stu- dents of Mr. Sicking, have recently received their Boy Scout Merit badges for Scholarship, Anyone interested in knowing how they made it might take a look at the weekly assignments. To make an E, they had to learn twen- ty words each week, make a notebook, know the Missouri Constitution, list characteristics of the plant and ani- mal kingdoms, and diagram com- pound-complex sentences. All the eighth graders seem to be carrying around 4f2, 4f1, 3f3 sched- ules, and work books since Miss Galatas visited their rooms acquainting them with possible subject choices for their Freshman year. Gerald Schlatter and Roy Thompson put on a terrific series of science ex- periments for Mr. Sicking's afternoon class. We hear they even made colored fire. Elimination, in the classroom con- tests, are in progress to determine the two teams which will enter the final competition between Mr. Sickingis morning and afternoon classes. Con- tests are being held in the following divisions: art work, debate, essay writ- ing, one-act plays, class newspapers, and class-room exhibits. Eighteen stu- dents are participating from the morn- ing class and twenty-one in the after- noon class. The winner of the design contest for a new eighth grade column head will be announced in your next issue of the CRIER. The new design will be put into use as soon as possible. Miss Cannon's morning class wishes to inform the student body of West- port High School that they received their talents of playing jet up and 4 down the steps on their ways to class from upperclassmen. QPJ Mr. Klepinger's new morning class officers are: President ........,... Sharon Worm Vice President ...... Carolyn Balagot Secretary ...... ...., P at Lumary Treasurer .......... Lonetta Brown Sgt.-at-arms ...,...... Doug Swain Mr. Miller's morning class took a very interesting trip on Tuesday, March 8. They visited the Dart Truck Company at 2621 Oak Street. They saw how the new 60-ton trucks are being built. The spelling bee that Mr. Sicking's class challenged Mr. Clarkis to, was won by Mr. Clark's class. Keep up the good work kids! - Helpful Harriet Dear Helpful Harriet, I am a very ardent supporter of all sports at Westport. I attend all the games and sometimes I get so excited I almost yell. I'm very careful not to do this, of course, because the boys would call me a sissy. The other boys at Westport never yell at the games and I don't want to be different. How- ever, sometimes I can hardly control myself. What shall I do? SILENT SAM Dear Silent, I know exactly what you mean. Seems the stronger sex at Westport has some crazy idea that cheering at the games is for the birds for at least just for the girlsj . They don't seem to real- ize that this is the best way to support the team and show them that they are really behind them. At future games I suggest you yell whenever you feel the urge. I'm sure you will enjoy your- self much more and who knows, you might even start a fad with the boys. H. H. Dear Helpful Harriet, We're sure you will be startled by our problem, since it is unusual. You see every time we go to Tiger Den the boys all want to dance with us, but they're just too bashful to ask us. We have a boring evening as we just have to sit on the benches. The boys are miserable too, because they're too shy to ask us. What can we do to give them the courage they lack and build up their self-confidence? WALLFLOWERS Dear Senior Girls, The next time you go to Tiger Den and you're sitting on the benches and a prospect goes by, trip him. Just as he starts to fall, catch him and while he is still dizzy, waltz him out on the dance floor. When he discovers how well you dance, he'll probably never ask you again, but at least you'll get to dance once. You can use this plan 'till the boys all Wise up and then you'd better stay home on Saturday nights. H. H.

Over 28 Years of Dependable Service THE WESTPORT CRIER TH EHR J Z' awesome Woody McNaughton and Sondra Ramsey We twisted Wesger's tail and he nominated Sondra Ramsey and Woody McNaughton for our Tiger Twosome this week, with little hesitation. Sondra Ramsey, the girl voted Sweetest,' on the Senior Ballot, has many activities to which she devotes her time. She was the past vice-president of El Circulo Calderon and treasurer for Promethean Literary Society, of which she also reigned as Beauty Queen. She is well-decorated since she has the silver pin of the Honor Society and both the small and large shields repre- senting her activity in intramurals. Sondra's voice is sweet too, as shown by her two years participation in A Cappella Choir. And of course, she's in Pep Club! This gal's eyes light up when she even thinks of her favorite food, sauer- kraut and wieners! Earth Angel by the Penguins and Jackie Gleason's MARCH 17, 1955 Music for Lovers rate tops with her, musically. Sondra, being another woman driver, smiled as she admitted that driving Jakie's car was her favorite pastime. Taking a general education course at Central Missouri State College is in line for Sondra's future plans after graduation. Woody McNaughton, the boy voted Most Typical on the Senior Ballot, is quite busy since he has been manag- ing the football and basketball teams. He also finds time to belong to the W Club and Stage and Screen. Under the hobby division comes the fixing of his '50 hard-top convert- ible Chevy. My two-toned green job is really super, he exclaims. This good looking, dark-haired senior boy with his flashing eyes likes his green car, al- though he states his favorite color is blue. Since all boys love food, and Woody is no exception, it took a great deal of thinking to decide upon French-fried shrimp as his favorite. And what is food without music? His favorite is Wedding Bells. How about that, Nancy Jo? Central Missouri State Teachers College at Warrensburg is Woody's choice of a college where he plans to major in physical education. Thanks loads, Wesger, we think you made two good choices, for Sondra and Woody are swell kids, and their love of fun and winning ways have won them many friends at Westport. Bye. Dance Finals T Paul Newcomb and Peggy Marshall were the winners of the annual Tiger Den Dance Contest on Saturday, Feb- ruary 19. Five couples participated in the contest showing fine fox-trot, boogie, and waltz styles. Out of the five couples, three finalists were chosen. They were: Dick Campbell and Kay Newman: Bob Meyers and Jackie Granger: and Paul Newcomb and Peggy Marshall. The judges were Lan- ny Alexander, of the Alexander Dance Studios, and two of the chaperons. The winners were presented a trophy by Leonard Perkins. Princesses from Westport Royalty at Westport? Of course, and in the form of two lovely prin- cesses of the 1955 Auto Show. The two are Chris Ruf and Ann Rock. Ann and Chris were selected from 275 girls to be two of the 19 candidates for Auto Show Queen. As gifts from the Automobile As- sociation all the candidates selected formals. Chris chose a maize net for- mal with rows of ruffles extending to the floor. Ann selected a flowing pink nylon chiffon with tiny pearls on the bodice. The girls also received small pearl and rhinestone tiaras and a silver medallion. If Ann and Chris would have kept a diary it would have read as follows: Friday, Feb. 25: We attended a luncheon at the Kansas City Club where Sally Maness of Raytown was pronounced the Queen. We drew from a hat to see which cars we would rep- resent. Ann is Miss Oldsmobile and Chris became Miss Kaiser-Willys. To- night we were presented to the auto- mobile dealers at a banquetat the Muehlebach, but still we kept the name of the queen a secret. Afterwards we rehearsed the Coronation. Saturday: We received beautiful orchids and were presented to the larg- est crowd in the history of the Auto Show. Groucho Marx crowned the queen. After the Coronation we spent the remainder of the evening in the cars we represented. Monday: We modeled our formals on Bea Johnson's TV program. It was fun. Wednesday: What a marvelous day! We had our parade and even got a little tan. We were guests of the Chamber of Commerce at the Muehle- bach for a luncheon after the parade. We both worked at the Auto Show tonight, but some of the girls were there Monday and some Friday. Thursday: We appeared on a tele- vision program telling about the Auto Show and met Bert Parks. Saturday: For the last time we were presented to the Auto Show crowd and took our respective places. Sounds kind of hectic doesnit it? But just ask Chris or Ann and they will tell you they loved every minute of it and hated to see it all end.

Aye-, 'tis March 17 when the wearin' o' the green' is celebrated. As all ye children of Ireland know, St. Patrick is the patron saint of Erin and it is he who watches oier wee ones as they go their merry way. He is the father of all the leprechauns and knows where all hidden treasures may be. Aye! it ,twas he who :first suggested the shamrock as our good luck sign and now 'tis the good fortune sign for all the world! The Irish are a happy people and well we should be. For St. Pat keeps an eye out for all. He warns the young of danger approaching and pro- tects the aged from harm. When St. Pat smiles, all Irishmen smile and sure it's like a touch of spring! In the spring he has the Irish daisies bloom first and sure ,tis they who announce the coming of the warmer days! Qlrish daisies are dande- lions to the non-Irish folk.j On behalf of all true-blooded Irishmen, we wish to extend a hearty St. Pat's Day to ye all! Reel Cross The Red Cross is a great organization of good will to which all are welcome. The simple act of joining the Red Cross enables everyone to feel he is serving his neighbor in distress or need, wherever he may be. Membership is open to everyone in the U. S. regardless of race, color or creed, and totals some 40,000,000. Red Cross services are always free, and blood supplied by the Red Cross is made available without charge. Many people think that all the Red Cross workers are paid, but there is only one paid volunteer worker to every 100 volunteer workers. It is assuring to know that the Red Cross is there- Wben the shattered lives and homes of disaster victims are rebuilt- Wben blood saves a life- Wbevz emergency help is given to servicemen, veterans, or their fam- ' ilies- Wbe1z a drowning child is rescued and revived- Wbf'7Z the sympathy of a chapter volunteer brightens a hospital pa- tientis lonely hours - When a forlorn foreign youngster happily hugs a Junior Red Cross gift box to his chest. Through your help, the Red Cross can put smiles of gratitude upon the faces of millions of people in distress. So, whether you give to the Red Cross or assist in its work, you have truly done a great service to your community and country.

Browning is probably the only literary society of Westport that has its rushees try out by giving readings. After all the ex- pectant members had performed, re- freshments were served. Promethean held a semi-formal ac- ceptance tea for its new members on Monday, March 7. The theme of the program was Favorite Television Pro- grams. The new members are: Pat Warriner, Marla Greim, Sharon Berg- man, Louanna Flommerfelt, Elaine Stehwien, Karen Short, Karen Robin- son, Rochella Trigg, Mary Jo Filson, Pam Izard, Sonia Downie, and Pat McBratney. In the gracious manner of southern belles, new members of Dana were ac- cepted with a semi-formal tea. The setting was in a southern mansion and to add life to the occasion, a visiting comedy troupe presented a black-face comedy skit. Among the many society southern belles present, were these new members: Mary K. Brown, Shirley Baxley, Linda Slusher, Betty Segner, Betty Kelley, Carole Potter, Judith McCoy, Ann Ackerhans, Lois Bowen, Delores Jennings, Donna Tompkins, and Linda Lindeman. Stop the Presses was a familiar cry at Pundit's acceptance tea March 4, in room 204. The theme of the party was a newspaper staff.

But if you had chanced to drive past dear old Westport on the morning of March 1 at that time you would have seen three big busses, masses of people, and what appeared to be even more masses of coats, blankets, luggage, lunch sacks, megaphones, streamers, and par- ents bidding their children fond adieu. Finally, everyone that was going was neatly stowed away in his particu- lar bus along with all his belongings. Last goodbyes were said and the busses pulled away from the curb. NVe were on our way to St. Louis and the State Basketball Tournament. All this was made possible by the fact that our team had won the Rockhurst Regionals. It didn't take long for things to start happening. We hadn't gone far when suddenly it seemed to be rain- ing milk in the back section of one of the busses. It seems that some one had brought a container of milk for his lunch, and in the process of our leav- ing, it had gotten tipped over. After a mad scramble, the container was final- ly located and thrown out. The excess milk was mopped up, but not before it had left its sticky mark. It was about then that the senior girls decided they were hungry. So out came the sandwiches, carrot sticks, ripe olives, dill pickles, fried chicken, po- tato chips, cookies, and cokes. After everyone had a little of everything, they very As were most settled down to listening to a interesting story. soon as we got to St. Louis, we whisked to the theater, where of us saw Cinerama for the first time. A11 115 of us then embarked from the busses and paraded into the theater, where we filled almost half of the main floor seating space. Cinerama was thrilling and unusual. At the end of the movie we were told to board the busses again and that we would be taken to Washington University campus where we would eat dinner. After dinner, it would soon be time for our game with St. Francis Borgiag which was, after all, the real reason for this trip-to cheer our heads off for the gold and blue and for our team. We might just add here s I Joe Samuel, Leonard Perkins, Woyde Fredrickson, and Jack Ross that the Kansas City Star commended Westport for her fine showing of sup- port and on her school spirit. The whole evening was spent in the field house watching the three games that were played, starting off the tournament. About 11:30, once again we boarded our respective busses and we were on our way home. Everyone was by this time thoroughly worn out, so the trip was spent in slumber. About five o'clock on Wednesday morning, March 2, 39th and McGee was again a scene of activity. After saying goodbye and thanking the chap- erones, everyone went home and began the task of catching up on lost sleep. Exchange Assembly With Northeast High This year the annual exchange as- sembly will be held with Northeast High School. A few chosen acts from our Talent Assembly will represent Westport at Northeast. Likewise they will send acts here to entertain us. Those who will participate in the ex- change are: A.B.C. Boogie group, the Boys' Quartet, Carol Bialucha and Dawn Justice, the Sax Trio, Heidi Remede, Kathy Wrobel, Sonia Bishoff, Carol McCullough, Shirley Bean, the Crazy Otto group, and the West- port Kids. -KN rv' f ,ie-'EZ-,a-'- , 5 . , J O x fi.f' ,' l il adj! .,, :X 'A I f H f Joe Samuel, Jack Ross, Wayde Fredrickson Westport's B team won a close 36-34 thriller from East, to avenge the var- sity score. Dave Mettee scored 11 points for top honors, while Fred Redd popped in 6 for thi cause. Westport's B lost to Paseo by a 65- 60 count, February 17. It was another of quite a few close decisions the Little Tigers have dropped this year. Dave Mettee, as usual, led the scoring with six field goals and five free throws for 17 points. 8 Tigers Drop Pirates Westport dropped Paseo for the second time this year, this time by a score of 45-31, February 14. The game was close most of the way, as it was 8-8 at the first quarter and 16-16 at the half. Eddie Fisher led the first quarter scoring with three baskets, and ended up with 13 points for the Tigers' lead- ing scorer. It was a rather dull game until the fourth quarter when the Tigers broke it wide open with 18 points while hold- ing the Pirates to only 7. It was high- lighted by three consecutive lay ups by Bob Mace who played a bang-up game and finished with 10 points to take runner-up honors. The Tigers' big point-maker, Jack Ross, was held to only 7 points, as the Paseo defense kept him bottled up most of the time.

Neither the Tigers nor the Bears, both of whom are known for their use of the full court press, used it con- sistently. Late in the last quarter, Coach Hunt put in the reserves and they answered with two field goals by Larry Lee and one by Tommy Fay.

A group of senior girls' interpreta- tion of Bill Haley's A.B.C. Boogie started the assembly off with a bang. Costumes composed of Bermuda shorts and skirts were worn by Connie Motes, Lucy Riegelman, Sondra Ramsey, Nancy Johanning, Lillian Bowser, and Pat Flathers as they played the part of school children. Ann Rock wore black toreador pants and white blouse in the role of the New Orleans school teacher. Their interpretation could certainly give Bill Haley's Comets competition. Not to be outdone by the girls' per- formance, the Boys' Quartet consist- ing of Virgil Broyles, Sam Perez, Bob Carpenter and Lyle Wyly sang the old Negro spiritual Climbing Up The Mountain, and The Sophomore Philosophyf' a short comedy number. Third on the program was Carol Bialucha and Dawn justice with their dance interpretation of Bizet I-las His Day, a number with a lot of rhythm. The auditorium was filled with the mellow music of the Sax trio, as they played Valse Elise. These musical lads are Jerry Maxwell, and Don and Ronnie Philgreen. Heidi Remde's contribution to Westport's talent parade, was a beau- tiful rendition of the ever popular At Dawningf' Bumble Boogien and a contrasting number, Rustic of Spring were played on the piano by Kathy Wrobel. Next in the spotlight was Nancy Connelly tapping out the rhythm to the Honkey Tonkey Melody. Sonia Bishoff, a freshman girl, came next with her rendition of the Beer Barrel Polka on her accordion. Whafs a talent show without a baton twirler? Sherry Wilson strutted and twirled her baton to the Wash- ington Post March. Next came Barbara Coonce with her interpretation of Tht,s All I Want From You. Stopping the show, Carole McCul- lough made music magic as she played Adagio and the Sabre Dance on her marimba. Few trumpet artists could achieve the perfection of Shirley Bean's per- formance as she played Pavanne. Ending the show on a perfect note were Lenore Yeager, Arlene Yadon, Judy Rausin, ,Toy Coughenour, Jo- Patronize Your Advertisers MARCH 3, 1955 lene Hammons, Bev Hayes, and Marcia Zander. Their ucrazy-mixed-up dance of the Crazy Ottov was a terrific finale. We understand the girls made their own colorful, fringed, flapper costumes.

I think that it would be quite an honor to graduate from Westport with the respect and admiration of all the teachers. FRESI-IMAN: Elaine Stehwein, I think it would be wonderful to be president of the Student Council. It really shows that the students respect your judgment. EIGHTH GRADER: Geraldine Gray, I think it would be swell to be Valedictorian of my Senior Class but I know it must be a lot of hard work. Youth Looks Ahead Youth Looks Aheadf, a radio pro- gram given every week by the Board of Education, had four Westporters as its guests on a recent broadcast. Dr. Richard Ball, assistant dean of Junior College, was the moderator. The panel, composed of Chris Ruf, Lu- cretia Gable, Lucile Riegelman and Lillian Bowser, Westport seniors, quizzed Mrs. Virginia Pebley, president of the Women's Chamber of Com- merce. Women in Business was the topic, and interesting questions were brought up for discussion. They discussed whether a married woman should work and it was decided that a woman could and should work until her first child was born, but then her place was in the home until her children were raised. Mrs. Pebley discussed the im- portance of the right clothes being worn when a girl applies for a job. She also stressed that you should have a pleasing personality and nice appear- ance on the job. She believed it was important for a girl to attend college before entering marriage, because all the knowledge possible is essential in the raising of a happy family. First Time for Westport Westport was well represented in the Big Seven track meet, which was held at the Municipal Auditorium, Febru- ary 25 and 26. Those entered were Darrel Lathrom, Herb Snedden, Clint Kelly, Howard Barnum, Phil Wells, Harry Wharton, Louis Bokrovetts, Tom Sheldon and Hank Ruf. Each year all the universities and colleges from the Big Seven, and high schools from this area attend the event. This year for the first time West- port is being represented by a com- plete track team. It is coached by Mr. Alva Baker. It was the first of a full schedule of track meets in which Westport will participate this year.

The program this evening is coming to you from the Roof Garden of the Hotel Continental where the annual Intersociety Formal is being held. Our cameras are located right outside the doorway so you may view the celebri- ties as they enter. We will try to de- scribe the beautiful ballroom to you. It is decorated with hearts and tiny flowers-oh!-here comes our first celebrity, Queen of the West, Chris Ruf and her playboy escort, Ben Gardner. Behind them I can see the famous dancer, Nancy Connelly drag- ging the political boss of Westport, Leslie Burns. Now stepping out of their limousine is the celebrated movie team, Lynn Evans and Jeff Sheldon. Lynn is wearing a beautiful creation by Mae- Clair Scott, who at the moment is en- tering with her escort, Jessie Hubling. This is a fabulous night here folks. The excitement of the crowd, the beauty of the queens, the-wait! here comes another car--it's a Stanley Steamer so that means it could be the one and only, Mr. America, Jack Ross and this time he's escorting the movie starlet, Jolene Hammons. They're being helped out of the car by the doorman, Bob Hedberg and his assistants, John Pappas, and Jim Berkstresser. And now our cameras are moving inside where the band's 1'irst number, The Crazy Otto, is underway. Linda Teagarden and Jack Hontz are now whirling past the cameras. Over in the corner I see JoAnn Jenkins dressed in a dazzling orange gown with purple sequins teaching Ronnie Hogan the Charles- ton. Joe Samuel, the professional bas- ketball player and the famous model Connie Motes are demonstrating a few swing steps in the center of the dance floor. If I can, I'd like to reach one of these famous celebrities and have them say a few words. Wait!-there's one now! It's the famous, and I do mean famous, just ask her, columnist, Beverly Hayes. Tell me, Miss Hayes isn't this all simply fabulous?', Yes, yes my dear, it's simply out of this world, why I've never, never in all my born days seen such a turn-out, why I- Yes thank you Miss Hayes. By the way is your escort hurt or something? Oh, no, it's just that the floors are too slick and he forgot to wear his spike shoes. Hee, hee. Yes, thank you Miss Hayes. I see Susie Lee and Al Guilford drinking cokes from 2 straws. MARCH 3, 1955 just that the cokes are 15 cents a piece. Excuse me a moment folks. This is an important announcement!

They were presented at the 1955 Automobile Show, February 26 at the Municipal Auditorium and appeared each night throughout the show. As participants of the show, the Automobile Association presentedthem with a formal and tiara. We are proud to say, that with these two senior gals--beauty is more than skin deep.

Mr. Sicking divided his P.M. class into 11 groups and each group was to make a display on the topic given to them. The different topics were Archi- tecture, Science, Medicine, Industry, Art, Motion Pictures, Television, Radio, Music, Theatre, and Journal- ism. Five judges, Mrs. Ludwig, Mr. Hunt, Miss Stewart, Mr. Kramer, and Miss Shamberger judged the displays and the awards were as follows: First place was given to medicine, second place was shared by music and theatre, and architecture took third place.

Yes, at long last Westpo1't will be getting a new clock and bell system. When Mr. Holloway first became principal of Westport twenty-five years ago, he asked the Board of Educa- tion for a new clock system as the current one was out of date! Twenty- five years and twenty-ive requests later, Westport will have her new clocks. The ones we use now are the original so our clocks are forty-six years old! Besides replacing all the old clocks, new ones will be placed in the Study Hall, the Library, Mr. Miner's room, 1155 Woodshopg the Girls' Gym and, of course, the master clock in the of- fice. This new system will be electric whereas the old system Worked on the principle of billows. New bells will be added at the same time. A new one will be placed in the auditorium and the old ones exchanged for new. The ring of these bells will not be as long or as loud as our pres- ent ones. Mr. Bougher estimates the cost at approximately one thousand dollars. The one thing that will be totally new is that the front hall clock will be extended about a foot from the wall, with two faces on each side so that they may be seen from either end of the hall.

S, -S-9 v Nancy Connelly and Leslie Burns Dear Aunt Nell, It's really great being students at Westport. We have met a lot of out- standing people, but there are two who steal the spotlight. Their friendly manner is quite renown throughout our halls and you never see them with- out a big Hi for everyone. First Iill tell you about Nancy Con- nelly. This cute bundle is 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighs 112 lbs, blond hair and blue eyes. She is secretary of Pundit Literary Society, treasurer of Civil Defense, a member of Pep Club and Stage and Screen. When asked her favorite pastimes she says that she likes to dance, listen to I Believe by Frankie Laine and is quite content with anything by Big Bob Dougherty. Tops on her food list are French fried shrimp and chocolate rnalts. As for her future Nancy is going to attend Washington University and take a course in business administra- tion. MARCH 3, 1955 Along with Nancy is personality plus Leslie Burns. As you might guess he received Best Personality on the Senior Ballot and is a member of Pep Club. Leslie especially likes his Momis fried chicken and dumplings, or drinking cokes with the gang at Kleels. Tops on his hit parade is I Believe by Frankie Laine and music by Ray An- thonv. 'His favorite pastime is being with, of all people, Nancy Connelly. Following graduation Leslie plans to enter Washington University to study law. This is our idea of two perfect West- porters. We're sure you'll agree they're terrincl As ever, ANN AND CONNIE Monson Takes Top in City Westporters did it-Alice Monson, senior, Marilyn Bure, junior, and Sarah Little, junior, to be speciic. These three pupils wrote winning themes in the Sons of the American Revolution Essay contest. Tuesday evening, February 22, was I1 fitting date for the dinner given in honor of the winners, because it was George Washington's birthday. Alice was tops among the entrants in the contest in Kansas City, and Marilyn's essay took second place. The third place was won by Sarah. First prize was S50 cash, second was 525, and third was 510. Each winner also received a medal. The subject was How can we best protect and preserve the principles for which the Revolutionary War was fought? Miss Maddox and Miss Brubaker spent many long hours with Alice, Marilyn, Sarah, and other pupils help- ing them get their works ready to sub- 111111. Miss Brubaker is undoubtedly proud of Sarah, and Miss Maddox of Alice and Marilyn, as everyone else should be. A great deal of time and energy was spent by both pupils and teachers in preparation for this contest. Congratulations! Smooth Music Plus Hearts and Sweethearts Smooth music, soft lights, flowers, and swirling, fluffy dresses in an array of colors set the stage for this year's Intersociety Dance. This event, always eagerly anticipated by the members of literary societies at Westport, was held Saturday, February 19. The Roof Garden of the Hotel Con- tinental proved to be an attractive set- ting, with its adjoining lounge, and a patio where cokes were served. There was an excellent turn out, including nearly 200 couples, who enjoyed the music of Jimmy Tucker's band. Highlighting the evening was the Coronation of the literary society beauty queens and the presentation of the beau brummels. As the dancers crowded around the flower-bedecked satin throne with a fluffy pink heart above, Chris Ruf announced the queens and their escorts and the beau brummels. While the band played a rendition of Oh, You Beautiful Doll, Connie Motes, escorted by Joe Samuel, stepped forth to be crowned Wilson's queen by Bruce Houdek, president. Next the spotlight shone on Lucille Miller and Eddie Fisher, Pundit's beauty queen and beau brummel. They were wel- comed at the throne by Pundit presi- dent Lucretia Gable. 'A thing of beauty never fades into nothingnessg, so is the beauty of Sondra Ramsey. These words were the words quoted by Joy Coughenour, Prometheanis president, in presenting Queen Sondra and their beau brummel, lakie Ruf. Representing Dana were MaeClair Scott and Bob Carpenter. Conchita Reyes, president, placed a glittery crown upon MaeClair's head. When Browning's queen, Lynne Harrod, had Walked to the throne to be crowned by their president, Russell Segner, the coronation ceremony drew to a close. Each of these honored re- ceived a gift to commemorate the oc- casion. Dancing to 'Stardustf' the beauty queens and beau brummels glided gracefully onto the floor while other guests watched. The radiant queens and handsome beau brummels reigned until the band played Goodnight, Sweetheart, when the curtain fell on another beautiful and memorable In- tersociety Dance. A special word of appreciation goes to Mr. Fiske Miles, faculty supervisor for the affair, for helping to make it such a success. 3 Where Was Westport? Where was Westport? was the question asked by many Kansas Citians on Monday evening, February 21. Approximately 2000 people were attending the annual high school R. O. T. C. military ball. It was the 3 8th birthday anniversary of the R. O. T. C. Queens from six Kansas City high schools were crowned by Mayor Kemp on this night of military pomp and pagentry. The six queens were: Nancy Grant, Central High Schoolg Karla Blaine, Paseo, Jane Lehman, Southwest, Carole Means, Southeastg Sylvia Willis, Northeast, and Dixie Violett, East. Where was Westport? is a difficult question to answer especially when we realize that since 1934 Westport has 8 colonels compared with 9 for all other schools combined. Westport's R. O. T. C. was discontinued in the spring of ,52. Low enrollment was the basic reason given. While in progress, the Westport unit always had an outstanding record. Our principal, Mr. Holloway, was a civilian instructor of the first R. O. T. C. unit in Kansas City. His interest and support never lagged from this early beginning. Certainly, administrative and faculty support was never lacking. It is a shame that, while Westport students are outstanding in so many fields of endeavor, military cadets representing Westport cannot bring their share of honor to the school. Next year with integration in the schools, perhaps, and it is hoped, that we will once more have our R. O. T. C. Then, and only then, when the question arises, Where was West- port? we can proudly answer We were there! Personality Plus Is your personality plus or minus ? Have you asked yourself this question? If not, this is the time! Everyone knows someone with a personality minus These people are the ones who complain about anything and everything. They never have a good word for anyone. They think the world owes them a living plus entertainment. Nothing ever seems right for them. They never have a smile or a friendly word for anyone. Then, there are the people with the personality plus, These are the ones everyone likes to be around. They're friendly, always have a ready smile for all, and are pleasant to talk to. They work for the things they want and expect only what they have earned. They're always cheerful, kind, and fun to work with. Some people are uplusi' one day and minus the next. You never know if theyire going to greet you with a smile, or a mean word. These people are not true to themselves much less to their friends. Stop now and ask yourself if you are a plus,,' a minus, or an in- between ? When you have found your answer, then start to act. Let yourself be the student they talk about when they whisper, There's the one with the personality plus.', l i - i The Westport tier 5 I i9u,l l. -12 , 315 East Thirty Ninth Street, Kansas City, Missouri f 2 .Q 6 7 Published bi-weekly during the school year by the news- fi writing class of Westport High School, Kansas City, Missouri.

Pundit provided entertain- ment while goodies were furnished by Wilson. i' February 21, Pundit held its second scmester rush party. The theme was song titles. Cokes, do-nuts, and potato chips were served. 'A' Promethean held its semi-annual rush party Friday, February 18. The theme was China and many of the members wore Chinese pajamas and sat on the floor as is the Chinese cus- tom. They were served a Chinese dish over chow mein noodles, and tea. Chop sticks were used by a few brave peo- ple before the forks were given out. The room was decorated in the man- ner of a Chinese Garden with lanterns and streamers. 'A' Stage and Screen had a very inter- esting and educational program on Thursday, February 24. The meeting was held in the auditorium. A demon- stration was given by four boys in the fourth hour stage craft class on the correct and incorrect use of stage equipment. Buddy Zimmer, David Os- born, James Moore, and Bob Carpen- ter conducted the interesting demon- stration. PTA Observes Founders' Day Seven past presidents of the West- port PTA were special guests at the annual Founders' Day celebration, held in the auditorium, February 15. Corsages were presented to each of them, and a souvenir PTA key ring was presented as each one introduced herself and gave the year she held oifice. After the regular business meeting, presided over by Mrs. George Reichel, a play entitled New Foundations, was presented by a group of North- east dramatics students. Refreshments were served in the front hall. THE WESTPORT CRIER he Westport Glrivr Vol. 43, No. 9 KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI March 3, 1955 King and Queen Crowned Hearts Made of Stoney is not true of our King and Queen of Hearts, Lucile Riegelman and Tommy Fay. His majesty and his lovely queen reigned over the Valentine Tiger Den, Febru- ary 12. Crowning of the couple took place at 9:15. With crowns of silver glitter and red hearts perched gayly upon their heads, they stepped out on the dance floor and whirled around in front of a receptive audience. Votes were cast at the door for the couple of their choice. Decorations were well-suited to the theme, with a false-ceilingn of red and white crepe paper streamers, and typical valentines on the walls in the girls' gym. , The regal throne was located next to the band. Gene Vandegrift and Peggy Mor- row, representatives of the Tiger Den Committee, presented Lucy and Tom- my with matching gray and red plaid sports shirts. A glorious, festive evening was had by all who attended. Dancing to the music of Ray Carl's band in a room swirling with color brought to a close the Valentine celebration at Tiger Den. Our Town Gets Around Held over by popular demand!! Yes, two months after its original produc- tion at Westport, the noted play, Our Town, is still being presented upon request. By invitation of the 50-50 Sunday School class of the Country Club Christian Church, February 13, the play was presented before a distin- guished audience of about 300. Follow- ing the presentation, dinners were served to 36 people connected with the play. March 2 at the First Congregational Church, Admiral and Highland, the original cast, under the direction of Miss Burton will again present Our Town. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. and admission will be adults 75c, students 35c. All those who missed this produc- tion at Westport are invited to at- tend. All-City Orchestra The All-City Orchestra has been enthusiastically received by East, Cen- tral Junior, and Paseo. Each year, in rotation, four schools have the honor of hearing the All-City Orchestra.

Just this once, though, why not read them, you might be interested. March is the month in which the American and Junior Red Cross work together and conduct an annual cam- paign for members and funds. West- port will have its enrollment March 7-11. Now, here are the facts. 1. In the Kansas City area there are 103,125 Junior Red Cross members.- Are you one of them? You are if you have contributed money or service. 2. In the world there are 62 coun- tries which have JRC organizations and membership. 3.

But Manual scored and time ran out before Westport could take another shot. Acuff was high scorer with 11 points.

An alumnus of Westport and William Jewell Col- lege, Chaplain Grover Stillwagon of the U. S. Air Force was the speaker for which these students eagerly wait- ed. Richard, the Chaplain's son, at- tended Westport until just recently. The Stillwagon family is moving to England where Chaplain Stillwagon is to be stationed. The speaker said that two English phrases almost every japanese can say are okay, and huba-hubaf' Chaplain Stillwagon, who had spent three years in Japan, went on to ex- plain, The Japanese people are not hard to understand if you understand their beliefs. For instance, according to the Buddhist religion, it is all right to steal if you d0n't get caught. This one belief explains many of their ac- tions. While at Westport, Chaplain Still- wagon was a student of Miss Eggles- ton and Miss Grube. Miss Florence Trotter, a former Westport teacher now living in Bath, England, gave Chaplain Stillwagon his taste for Shakespeare. Chaplain Stillwagon plans to renew old ties with Miss Trotter when he arrives in England. How's Your Soup? It's finished! It was unveiled on Fri- day, January 28. It is the new piece of wire sculpture decorating the south wall of the cafeteria at the west end. Among the many pieces of artistical- ly twisted wire, you can find seven girls eating their lunches. One is spill- ing her soup, while others are combing their hair, putting on lipstick, or even pulling beans out of their soup. This large wire sculpture was done by James Moore in room 104. He has spent practically this entire year com- pleting it. Don't miss seeing it.

His speech was based on his own personal feelings and views concerning the Constitution of the United States. Since the winner from each school was awarded a S25 United States Sav- ings Bond, Paul received this award by being Westport's contestant. He competed with three students from various schools in the Kansas City area at Central high school. Although he didn't win, he should be given a word of praise for his efforts.

About 85 people attended the party. The theme, Valentine's Day, was carried out by many beautiful decorations. A large heart on each table specified which two teachers and room mothers were to sit there. Red candles, set in white foam, completed the table dec- orations. White sheet cake decorated with red hearts, and coffee or tea were served by Miss Galatas and Mrs. G. Reichel, who is the President of the Waters and Roses Excitedly amid roses, and dressed in her new formal, Shirley Waters greet- ed me, and invited me into her private dressing room. Well, I said, how do you rate? This practically looks like an apart- ment in the Waldorf. Yes, she said, isn't it wonderful? It has a living room suite plus a rose tile bath room and shower. I guess I'll just have to come a little earlier so that I can make use of all this luxury. It certainly must be exciting play- ing in the Philharmonic under the di- rection of Mr. Hans Schwieger. What are you going to play? 'Winter's Passed,' written by Wayne Barlow, said Shirley, I just hope everything goes all right when I'm playing my oboe. Being a friend of Shirleyis and re- porter from Westport, I wished her luck and took my seat among the noisy grade school children in the Music Hall. The concert started with the or- chestra playing a piece and Ken I-Ieady narrated a story about the different instruments. Then the long awaited moment came when Shirley appeared on the stage. All went well and after her wonderful performance, she shook hands with Mr. Schwieger and the concertmaster of the orchestra. Richard Roges, trombone soloist from Southwest played next. Jim Baker followed Richard with an ex- cellent violin solo. Shirley and the other two soloists will appear in several other such con- certs during the grade school session. Advantages and Opportunities Would you like to receive money for going to college? Then apply for a scholarship. There are scholarships given to both small and large colleges and nearly any school of your choice. Many times no one takes advantage of these scholarship opportunities. Any- one who wants to continue his educa- tion may be given a chance to do so merely by applying for the available scholarships. Underclassmen should keep this in mind, because it is im- portant to begin early to establish a high grade average. Miss Galatas, out counselor, is always willing to talk to any student who is interested in ap- plying for a scholarship. DAR Contest Lucretia Gable, Alice Monson, and Lenore Yeager were chosen by the teachers to represent Westport in the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion Contest. The girls made a scrapbook of all social work, church work, and school activities they have participated in during the past year. They were asked to attend the naturalization court to see fifty people become citizens. Alice and Lenore took a test on the Constitution of the United States and Declaration of Independence on Jan- uary 29 at Junior College. One of the questions was to write a 300 word essay about the United States Flag. First prize will be a 525.00 bond, second and third a reproduction of the Constitution and Declaration of Inde- pendence.

Debates Debates in the public speaking classes are not over for some ambitious pupils! Those who so desire may go to other schools to debate, or use their talents on the members of other schools when they come to Westport. There are numerous views and cases that can be used in this year's ques- tion, Resolved That The United States Should Establish Free Trade With Those Nations Friendly to the U. S. Teams of two prepare seven-min- ute constructive speeches and rebut- tals of three minutes. In this type of speech, force in voice and action can make or break you. So if you hear strange noises coming from room 116, hours one or ive, you can immediate- ly deduct what is happening. Some of the Westporters engaged in this extra activity are: Mary Chris Toevs, Lucretia Gable, Beverly Van Sandt, Lucile Nicoll, Lani Nichols, Dianne Haywood, Irma Fields, Alice Monson, Nancy Johanning, Ann Rock, Barbara Church, and Judith McCoy. Frosh Top Hi-Y The Freshman team defeated the Hi-Y five 32 to 14, January 14, in the boys' gym. The big scorer of the game was Andy Sandquist who poured in 17 points for the winners.

The Girls Glee Club of Grinnell College having practiced many long hours made a special trip to perform on our stage. Did Westporters show their appreciation by listening? Heavens no! Students were whispering, giggling, shifting in seats and everything else except listening. Those who chose to listen could not because of the conduct of those around them. A beautiful solo was ruined for the entire audience by the horrid gig- gling of a few. As everyone knows, if you arrive at a performance after the show has begun, you stand quietly at the back until the end of the number, then quietly take a back seat. A few students seem to have forgotten this rule. Westport should truly be ashamed and try as hard as possible not to let such a thing happen again. February is a month of notable birthdays-Abraham Lincoln, George Wash- ington, Thomas Alva Edison, Susan B. Anthony, and others. Each in his own way has made this land a better place in which to live by promoting some phase of human rights and fundamental freedoms: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The members of the United Nations feel that these ideals are so important that they have set them forth in the Universal Human Rights Charter. The U.N. is endeavoring to have the thirty articles of the Universal Human Rights Char- ter accepted by all nations so these articles may be enforced. Foremost among these articles are: Article 18 which states that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, Article 19 which states that everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression, and Article 26 which states that everyone has the right to education. These rights mean much to those who aren't able to enjoy them. We can take one step toward freedom if we work to bring about the adoptions of the rights which we take for granted. Grinnell Girls Great Making a striking appearance clad in red corduroy Weskits, white long sleeved blouses, and black skirts, were the girls in the Grinnell College Glee Club. Thursday afternoon, February 3, these girls under the direction of Dwane Crossley, sang a variety of songs. The program included Sere- nade by Scheubert, and Villanelle, sung by a clear-toned soprano. An octet sang the lilting number Hi Hof, Appearing in green and black cos- tumes, Was a dancing duo, who sang and danced For Me and My Gal. For those who are good at inter- preting meaning in music, a modern dance ensemble, gave them the chance to use their talents. Under the student direction of a music major at Grinnell, the glee club sang the rousing Siboney. The fas- cinating Rodgers and Hammerstein melody, Bewitched, left the audi- ence clamoring for more.

A THE WESTPORT CRIER he mvatpnri Glrivr Vol. 43, No. 8 KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI February 17, 1955 Lucille Miller, Mae Clair Scott, Sondra Ramsey, Lynne Harrod and Connie Moles Beauty on Parade Lovely to look at, delightful to know . . . This certainly applies to this yearis literary society beauty queens. Pundit's representative this year is Lucille Miller. Light brown hair and baby blue eyes won her the title of Prettiest Girl on the Senior Ballot. Because of her active work in Pundit, she is indeed deserving of this honor. Wilson has chosen from their sister club, Pundit, Connie Motes. By Con- nie's participation in school activities, she is well-known, and liked by every- one. Connie's hazel eyes accentuate her other beautiful features. Promethean's choice this year is Sondra Ramsey. Her winning person- ality and friendly attitude won her Nicest Girl on the Senior Ballot. Sondra's quiet beauty is admired by all. Stepping into the spotlight for Dana is Mae Clair Scott. Mae Clair is past president and inter-society repre- sentative of this society. Her beautiful brown eyes and curly, black hair are only two of her beautiful features. From their sister society, Dana, Browning has chosen Lynne Harrod for their queen. Lynne's friendly per- sonality and winning smile make her popular among all the students. This year the literary societies have each chosen a Beau Brummel. Pundit's choice is Eddie Fisher. Eddie is active both in sports and school activities. His good looks and personality have won him this honor. Jakie Ruf was elected by Prome- thean members. He was voted Hand- somest Boy on the Senior Ballot and lettered in football this past year. Dana's Beau Brummel is Bob Car- penter. Bob is active in Crier-Herald work, a leading baritone in the a cap- pella choir, and president of the Chess Club. His flashing smile and winning way are real assets to him. The crowning of the queens will be the highlight of the evening at the Intersociety Dance. The dance is to be the Hotel Continental Roof held at Garden, February 19, at 8:30 o'clock. Mellow music will be provided by the Jimmie Tucker Band. year thc literary societies Each share the cost of sponsoring the dance, and it has become a tradition at Westport. Speedy Junior! Jeannae Matteson, a first year typ- ing student, has achieved an honor held by very few students. About three weeks ago, the first and second year typing students were surprised to hear that a first year student had re- ceived her 50 WPM award, but last week, all the students were shocked to hear that Jeannae Matteson had re- ceived her 60 WPM award. Congratulations Jeannae, but please have pity on the poor second year stu- dents who have not yet passed 50. Tiger Time FEBRUARY 17 Basketball-Westport vs. Northeast 19 Intersociety Dance 22 Waslungton's Birthday- No School- Regional Basketball Begins 26 Tiger Den-Girl's Sportsday at Northeast 28 Philharmonic Concert Mayor for a Day On April 6, the teen-agers of Kan- sas City will take over the jobs of Mayor, City Manager, and the other executive offices. Whatever they ac- complish will benefit students who put them in office. Kansas City high school students have obtained three new foot- ball stadiums through the efforts of the past mayors. Lincoln's candidate, Romeo Doty, if elected, wants to increase room ac- commodations in the high school, will try to combat juvenile delinquency, and place students in the administra- tive oiiices in the high schools for one day, as well as in the city oiiices. Charles Hart from Paseo suggested that an advisory board of teen-agers should represent the teen-agers of the city in the City Council meetings all year long. Instead of being represent- ed only one day during the year, they could meet the problems as they come up. This might get the Interscholastic League better days on which to play their games, and reduced rates at movies and other amusements. Northeast's representative is David Sano. He believes that the purpose of City Hall Day is to teach something to the youth of the city. His platform is to: 1. Try to change the opinions of adults toward the younger generation. 2.

Hello kiddies, this is Carl the cold-spreader, here to give you the dandiest cold you've ever had. This changeable weather is very help- ful in making it easy for you to catch my germsf' Wait a minute, Carl, I, Carey the cold-preventer have something to say about that. Kids, you don't have to be a victim of Carl if you will read and heed a few simple COLD FAc'rs : Avoid: 1. Contact with persons who have colds, influenza, bronchitis, pneumo- nia. Beware of infected droplets sprayed into the air by talking, cough- ing and sneezing. Avoid contaminated eating utensils and toilet articles. 2. Sudden chilling of the body, espe- cially when overheated. Wear clothing suitable to weather conditions and live in well-ventilated rooms. Avoid drafts. 3. Wearing damp or wet clothing. Avoid wet feet. 4. Fatigue. Try to get enough sleep, rest and recreation. 5. Undernourishment. Now if you follow these simple facts it will be pretty hard for Carl to get to you. But, if he does, here is what to do : 1. Rest-stay in bed or indoors for the Hrst day or more. Get as much fest as you can. 2. Keep warm and dry -- wear clothes that will keep you warm. 3. Drink plenty of warm, mild fruit juices, and water. 4. If throat is sore, gargle a solution of one to two teaspoons of common salt dissolved in a glass of warm wa- ter every three hours. 5. To alleviate nasal stultiness, steam inhalations, using a paper cone over scalding water, are very effective. Hi! This is Carey again. Nurse Nan just told me to remind you to bring your own Kleenex, aspirin, and whatever you may need to school with you. The Health Center cannot afford to furnish you with these articles.

Who takes charge of this great responsibility at Westport-the head of the bookkeep- ing department and central treasurer, Lorena Card. Through her capable hands passes all money that a teacher requests a student to bring for chari- ties, class fees, and various senior fees. In addition, there are club fees, money collected for the school newspaper, yearbook, football and basketball tick- ets, plays, concerts, and various other non-compulsory activities. Many may wonder how Miss Card was chosen for this job. At one time it was the principal's responsibility to handle all matters concerning money. As Westport grew, the job of keeping account became too big a responsi- bility for such a busy man to handle. It was therefore decided that Mr. Kirk- er, head of the bookkeeping depart- ment at that time, would be excused from one class to take care of the money and the records. Seventeen years ago, Miss Card took Mr. Kirker's place. During this period, Miss Card has not been absent a single day. Two years ago, the second-year bookkeeping class, which had assisted Miss Card, was discontinued. She then decided that she would need two girls to help her during first hour. Her helpers this year are Alice Anthuis and Sue Collins. Before money can be collected from students, the approval of the principal must be obtained. All money collected must be recorded on an account or Yellow sheet. A record is made in duplicate in a numbered deposit book. The money, the yellow sheet, and the deposit books are taken to the central treasurer. After checking, if all three agree, the yellow sheet and the carbon copy of the deposit ticket are signed and returned to the teacher. The treas- urer keeps on file the original copy of the deposit ticket. A signed request in duplicate must be made out giving the name of the payee and account, signature of the teacher in charge of the account, and the signature of the principal, when money is to be withdrawn. Copies of withdrawal requests are also filed. From the files of withdrawals and deposits, a monthly report is made. All active accounts receive a statement at the end of each month which serves as a check to see that all the records are correct. Each year at Westport the amount of money handled is from 520,000 to 523,000 The number of deposits 6 made by teachers and students range from 1500 to 1600 and the number of checks written are from 325 to 327. The efficient manner and patience displayed by Miss Card in her seven- teen years of commendable service should be greatly appreciated by every Westport student.

For the benefit of the bewildered Latin students, the slogan on Miss Eggleston's front board is the motto of Westport, To be rather than to seem to be.', Miss Card is having a hard time trying to convince her bookkeeping students that it just isn't possible to spend more money than they have. Miss James' first year cooking class is studying how to make better bread, muffins, and biscuits. After baking muflins they analyzed what they could have done to make a better batter. Their experience with mumns enabled them to bake better cinnamon bread. We can't understand why all the students are laboring so studiously over the Weekly News Review, unless the jokes are improving. Spooners in the auditorium were lulled to sleep by the band last week. Practice was held at 8:00 o'clock in preparation for the Southwest game. Miss Fairchild has a good explana- tion of how to handle a highball. Of course she's talking about volleyball.

A total of F5427 was received from the purchase of TB Christmas Seals at Westport High School. The money re- ceived from the seals will be used to find cures and preventions of this dreaded disease. Part of this money is used to pro- vide chest X-rays. During the last few years, the Kansas City Tuberculosis Society has provided this free service to high school seniors. This year's ar- rangement will make it possible for any member of your family over 10 years old to have the free chest x-ray. You must be acco111jm11ied by your par- ents. The X-rays will be given at 1020 McGee from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. the first Thursday of every month un- til June. Have your x-ray taken and have the peace of mind of knowing you are free from TB.

Journalists Meet Learning ways and means for im- proving a school paper is the purpose of a newly-founded organization in Kansas City. It is composed of a group of representatives from schools in the Kansas City area. Two pupils are se- lected to go to the meeting, and later report what happened to the newswrit- ing class at their school. Lucretia Gable and Jeanne Lang are Westport's representatives. So far this year there have been two meetings. On January 29, another such session is scheduled to be held at Northeast. For each meeting a different school plays host to the students. From the success of the previous gatherings, it appears that this city- wide conference will continue to grow. Programs include panel discussions concerning problems the school pa- pers face, and suggestions from the students for their remedy.

Since enter- ing Westport as eighth graders, both have earned recognition because of their jovial ways. SHE is Jolene Hammons, fJo to het fans, 5' 3 , dark hair, two eyes Qboth brownj set off with dark lashes. Jo exerts her energy as a member of Pep Club, Jules Guerin, Stage and Screen, Crier-Herald staff, and holds the silver pin of the Honor Society. Being vice-president of Promethean keeps her busy planning programs for that organization. Tara's Theme is her favorite song, while Glenn Miller tops her list of favorite bands. Jolene enjoys doing art work, driving her fire engine fred Chevyj and eating french fries and frosties at Valentines. If and when Jo graduates, she would like to take a course in general educa- JANUARY zo, 1955 tion at the University of Kansas. HE was born James Richard Jarvis, on March 2, 1937. Jim grew until he was 5' 6 tall and then decided that this would be the ideal height for dodging players on the basketball court. Serving as treasurer of Hi-Y, an ac- tive member of Wilson Literary So- ciety and W Club, playing varsity basketball, sporting new clothes fwhich entitled him to the title of Best Dressed Boy on the senior bal- lotj and maintaining his record of be- ing in the front hall at 7:30, keeps him mighty busy. Nevertheless, he finds time to spin his favorite records, Old Shoes by Frankie Laine and instrumenrals by Ray Anthony. He lists among his fa- vorites: chemistry, aeronautics, apple pie and roast beef. After joining the ranks of Junior College men for two years, Jimmy plans to attend Kansas University. New Books Added April 4, 1950, the John L. Shouse Memorial Fund was established by a group of students wishing to honor John L. Shouse, principal of Westport, 1913-1929. The fund was dedicat- ed both as a tribute to his sterling per- sonal worth and as a living expression of gratitude for his able and loyal services to our school. Every Novem- ber the librarian, assisted by two seniors and two juniors, invests not more than S20 in books for the Shouse shelf in Westport's library. The books are selected on interest, instructive- ness and popularity with students. Lucile Riegelman, Russell Segner, Jeanette Hotmer and Virgil Broyles assisted Miss Fairweather in selecting the 1954 additions. Several teachers also suggested a few possibilities. After examining numerous books, the fol- lowing were selected by the commit- tee as this year's additions: Poem Portraits, James J. Metcalfe Katherine fstory of Chaucer's timej , Anya Seton Horse Stories, S. L. Furman Tales of Land and Sea, Joseph Con- rad. The Power of Positive Thinking, Norman V. Peale The Story of the Declaration of In- dependence, Duman Malone On the inside cover of all the books on this shelf is a book plate designed by Mary Lou Hargess, 351. Mary's de- sign was chosen from several entries. Occupation . . . Sailing Sailing through the air in a para- chute, is Jerry Purvisis occupation. A graduate of Westport, Jerry returned to the aeronautics class to describe the parachute and its operation. Another grad of Westport is Mr. C. E. Bartholomew. He lectured to this class about TWA and its benefits. His main point was that pupils should obtain the requirements for various jobs with a big airline. He stated that passes are given to the employees, and that in addition, all, in groups of twenty, are being given a two-weeks vacation in Europe with all expenses paid! Jet streams in the substratosphere, was the topic of a lecture which Mr. Raymond McQueen gave December 6. He also is a graduate of Westport. He graduated 25 years ago. He now has a job in Washington, D.C., working with the United States Weather Bu- reau. Fashion Fads It seems we are all sporting new clothes here at Westport since Christ- mas. Wearing new sweaters are Sara Matchett fReedJ, Joe Samuels QCon- niej , Jakie Ruf fSondraj , Donna An- derson fKennyJ , and Joan Frazier and Phil Green. If Lucy Miller and Barbara O'Con- nor seem to be suffering from left- handitis, think nothing of it. They re- ceived sparkling diamond rings from Jim Applequist, '53 and Bill Hitch- cock. Connie Motes and Lucy Riegelman can't wait until the next formal dance so they can carry their new evening bags ffrom Joe and Tommyj. Marcia Zander and Joy Coughenour had to be different, of course. Marcia scuffs around at home in her new house slippers, fcompliments of Dar- relj , and Joy has told everyone, Eddie gave me the most prettiest knit dress. l.D. bracelets rate tops with Bonnie Hill fDonj, Sondra Ramsey fJakiej, and Margie Matchett fBobJ.

This is the gift of American citizenship. America stands for many things-innumerable privileges and freedoms, such as those of worship, assembly, and protection. Since we are guaranteed so many things in our Constitution and Bill of Rights, it is only natural that in return for these privileges and freedoms we should pledge allegiance to this bounteous country of ours. God is the greatest power anywhere, and we in America place our trust in Him. This is evident because of the change in our pledge of allegiance. Last summer, President Eisenhower added, in a few words, this expression of our faith in God. It was the first time since its adoption by Congress as the ofhcial Pledge of Allegiance, that it has been changed. This well-known stanza now reads: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The dime, littlest coin of the realm, plays a big role in the development of America. A few were minted in 1792 when the first mint went into operation in Phila- delphiag but it was in 1796 before our forefathers were jingling mint-made dimes in their pockets in any numbers. It was 142 years later that the dime was to really play its big part. The Amer- ican people rose to march against an epidemic disease-holding forth the dime as their symbol of might. The President of the United States at that time, Frank- lin D. Roosevelt, started this drive against the dread polio and the name was suggested by Eddie Cantor-The March of Dimes. 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 defend, and the torch on the Roosevelt dime is the torch of freedom. The Franklin D. Rosevelt dime, which was first minted in 1946, was de- signed by John R. Sinnock who also designed the Purple Heart. Some one billion Roosevelt dimes have been minted. Vanishing, slowly but assuredly, are the dimes of the National Foundation of lnfantile Paralysis, which were collected in the 1954 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. Working together, we can lick this dread disease. The dime, symbol of liberty, needs help to make it possible for a nation to walk in freedom from polio. Won't YOU join the March of Dimes TODAY? Westport at Work C.O.E. stands for Co-operative Oc- cupational Education. Students and teachers in C.O.E. are working for a better business world. In C.O.E. there are 56 Westport- ers who are learning how they can qualify for occupations that best suit them. Miss Cunning, their instructor, helps supervise and place them in jobs. Among the various types of jobs that tailing, clerical, and mechanical jobs. With half a day of class instruction and another half of work they receive two units toward graduation. The average C.O.E. student works four hours a day approximately five or six days a week. During class they discuss problems about Income Tax, personality, insurance, employer-em- ployee relationships, and all problems with which a beginning worker is faced. M. .

Stage and Screen held their Christ- mas party in room 104 on December 22. Entertainment and refreshments provided a very enjoyable program.

THE WESTPORT CRIER he vatpnri Glrivr Vol. 42, No. 7 KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI January 20, 1955 Back row, left to right: Frank Conner, Larry Lee, Dan Acuff, Leonard Perkins, Dave Ruf, Joe Samuel, Coach Hunt. Second row, left to right: Tommy Fay, Clint Kelly, Bob Mace, Jack Ross, Eddie Fisher. Front row: Marvin Braden, Wayde Fredrickson, Jim Jarvis, Dick Faulkner. Know Your Players Baskets, baskets, baskets, boys! When this yell echoes boisterously through the auditorium, do you know just who the boys are you're asking to make those baskets? The tall trio of Dan Acuff, Leonard Perkins, and Joe Samuel can't be missed because they tower over the team at 6' 4 , 6' 2 , and 6' 2 respec- tively. Of course, there's that ever aggres- ive pair, Bob Mace and Marvin Braden who are always on the go. Who hasn't heard of that rough'n ready Ross fJack that isj with his smooth jump set shots. Jack's the only returning letterman on the team this year. When the opposing team gets the ball, watch for fireworks as Tom Fay and Eddie Fisher perform by making a quick steal. Clint Kelly uses the wings on his heels as he leaps down the court to make a basket. Dave Ruf proves to be an excellent rebounder, and Jim Jarvis sure can shoot around those big boys. Wayde Fredrickson, the only sopho- more on the team, has great possibili- ties. Watch Larry Lee and Richard Faulkner for energetic reserve action. Now that the players have been in- troduced, we know it still might be hard to tell them apart on the basket- ball court, so here are their numbers. The first number represents their black suits, the second their white ones.

This question was brought before the Westport Community Council on November 8, with Mr. Esther as guest speaker. Mr. Esther explained how badly the West- port area needs a social center. In the near future, the Board of Education is going to appropriate 350 thousand dollars to an area near the center part of the city. Westport seems to occupy the most favored position, since she is located at a cen- tral point in the city and has such good transportation lines. In Westport, the pupil population for five grades has decreased from 3000 to 1500 students in the past 15 years. A community building would furnish all the things we need in our school and also other things of the community interest. The buildings would have a swim- ming pool,a large gym,and many other badly needed facilities. The gym alone would have a seating capacity from 3000 to 3500. This gymnasium could be used for Inter-Scholastic basketball games, non-league basketball games, school banquets, senior luncheons, club dances, Tiger Dens, and the Junior- Senior Prom. Parents will not have to spend one penny for the construction of a com- munity center for the Westport dis- trict. Parents, teachers, and students are asked to give whole-hearted support to this proposed project. Not only will the inequality between Wfestport and other schools be reduced, but the de- sertion of Westport homes might be checked. Having a community center in ev- ery district is one of the best possible means of combating juvenile delin- quency. Tribute Paid Following their selection on the In- terscholastic League All Star team, Clint Kelly and Jack Ross have also been selected on the All District teams. Jack placed on the second team, and Clint received honorable mention. This is a great tribute to these two fine athletes. , 0 - 'B ff x -.f'1-1. fx' f ,f 7 - ' ' 1, 1 I fpf f I rw- fRDIE Bengals Belt Belton The Tigers of Westport made their second start of the season a successful one as they belted Belton 79-46 on November 30, at Belton.

Sharing top honors for the Tigers were Joe Samuel and Jack Ross with 17 points each. Bob Mace and Leonard Perkins chipped in with 11 points apiece. The Rockets were led by John Fahey with 28. The Tigers led by only two points going into the last quarter, but in the Tigers Edge Out Wildcats Joe Samuel sank two free throws and Jim Jarvis one in the thrilling overtime period as Westport edged out Washington 69-68, December 4. The Tigers trailed going into the final three minutes of the most ex- citing game of the year, but rallied to tie the score at 66 at the end of regu- lation time. Westport was led to their close vic- tory by Joe Samuel with 17 points, while Dan Acuff tallied 15. This brought the Tigers season record to two victories against one defeat.

During hour 1 today, you are invited to see the Christmas stockings in room 211 . . g so read a special notice recently. In the preceding two weeks, home rooms Hlled 40 attractive stockings and were allowed to view the finished products before they were picked up by the Red Cross. These gift packages were filled with items such as: talcum, stockings, pen- cils, pocket book, fruit cake, calendar, cigarettes, handkerchief, cigar, can- dies and nuts.

Christmas Music Assembly Strains of familiar music came from the auditorium Tuesday, December 21. at the annual Christmas assembly. The customs of four foreign coun- tries were symbolized by the Choir and Glee Club. Each Choir member donned a native costume of either Mexico or Germany and showed in skits, the excitement of preparing for the festive season. The Girl's Glee Club represented Holland and England. Christmas songs were sung, community style, by the audience. Dressed in their usual costume, blue and gold satin robes, the Choir re- turned to sing the beautiful Hallelu- jah Chorus from Handel's Messiah. The singing of the long-loved Silent Night closed the program. For the benefit and enjoyment of parents and alumni, a dress rehearsal of this program was presented Mon- day evening, December 20.

Hereis where he starts. '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 around in their heads. Then up in the sky, a bright object was seen, 'Twas good ole' Saint Nick in a B-17 He stopped at the Bowsers. He was jolly and round And down Lillian's chimney he came with a bound. Nick left in her stocking what he knew would please A beautiful grade card just chucked full of Eis. On through the night he sped to the house Of Jane Gooch, and quick as a mouse He left her some presents and then with a grin, Opened her stocking and filled it with -M E N. A quick trip to Klee's where Santa had fun, He left a new juke box fthey needed onej. It was full of good records, some old and some new, He knew that they would be familiar to you. Comet in the lead no need to switch her Santa flew to the home of our own Eddie Fisher. He left him a magnet that would if he ask it Propel every basketball straight to the basket. To Jessie Gonzales fsweets to the sweetj A big box of candy, really a treat. Then off Santa journeyed, through the dark sky, Until he just happened Leonard Per- kins to spy. He left in his stocking a big shiny jet. You see! Buses don't run south at 12:30, yet. Smiling at Leonard, Santa did then depart DECEMBER 2 3 , 1 954 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 a great tear, To think how he now was compelled to leave And not see Westport 'till next Christmas eve. He was heard to exclaim ere he flew out of sight, Merry Christmas, Westporters, and a real cool good night. fBorrowedJ What a difference there would be at ole' Westport if these names were: Not Fairweather but Badclimate fMissJ Not Fairchild but Goodkid fMissj Not Miles but Acres fMr.j Not Spring but Winter QMr.j Not Dice but Rattle fMr.j Not Card but Dice fMissj Not Cannon but Gun fMissj Not Miner but Milkman fMr.j Not Bourrette but Hairpin fMr.J If you find that after January lst, some of your chums have turned from worse to better, it is probably due to these resolutions: I, Ann Rock, resolve not to be tempted to pull Santa's beard next Christmas. I, Sondra Ramsey, resolve never to endanger my life by riding in Jolene's car again. I, Jolene Hammons, resolve never to permit Sondra to enter my automobile henceforth. I, Lucille Nichol, resolve never to get up on a step ladder with a boy any more. I, Conchita Reyes, resolve never to be embarrassed by day dreaming in Spanish class. I, Lenore Yeager, resolve to stop in- fluencing boys with my charming ways. fHa!J I, Carl Carlson, resolve never to bring another bug into Miss Beck's class. Santa's helper for this issue of the CRIEIK, Lucile Riegelman, has worked diligently to bring this issue to wish you a Merry Christmas. Thanks, Lucy! THE CRIER STAFF Za, S 'S A 5.5 I Dear Santa, The kids around Westport have asked me to write and cell you our wants and needs for Christmas. Jerry Rausin wants a robot to do his trigonometry and if you have an extra one, you might send Ronnie Hogan one, too. Leonard Perkins doesn't want much this year but if you have some small gift, like maybe ten shares in the Chrysler Corporation he would be glad to take it. Judy Rausin would like you to move Rosedale High School to Gillham Park in your spare time. Boyd Fredrickson would just love an autographed Marlon Brando suit and Nancy Johanning needs a new wig Cmaybe a red one this timej. Three senior girls would like three junior boys, named Reed, Tom, and Joe to become seniors. Jim Jarvis could sure use a rubber test tube fall the future chemists in hour one know why.J The cheerleaders have asked for a bottle of pep and energy pills. Those who want cars are Jean Hedberg, who Wants a hot rod equipped with driver, and Bill Webber, who Wants a Cadillac with a chauffeur named Vicky Bowen. Xavier Moreno wants a girl that looks just like Lucy Miller. Mr. Harris Wants all the high schools everywhere to have students as wonderful as those at Westport. Marcia Zander and I would like a P.A. system so we could save our voices at the baseketball games. Pat Jewell Wants nothing, she's already got him. Jack Ross needs someone to listen to his stories, and Joy Coughen- our, an interpreter to clue her in. Kath- leen Brown, Tom Crosby, Mary Paige, Becky Grant, and Pat Ennis say they'd like a coke machine on every floor. One gift Santa, that you could give us all is lasting peace and good will between all the nations of the world. Well Santa, this concludes our list for this year. As you can see, these are sensible items which we all need and can use. Try your best to bring them Santa and until next year- Love, JO 5 Behind the Eight Bull You might be the one who will de- sign an attractive head for this col- umn. This is a contest in which only you sub-freshmen are allowed to par- ticipate! Your designs will be judged on cleverness and neatness. You may draw as many ideas as you wish. In two weeks a representative of the CRIER staff will come to your room and collect them. We will publish the win- ner's name and his design as soon as possible. Get busy now, don't wait! Miss CANNON Since Miss Cannon was a guest at the P.T.A. luncheon, November 18, and no spare teachers were available the pupils agreed that they would supervise and do the teaching during her absence. The president, Mike Gaf- ney, appointed Karen Bently to teach spelling, Mike Hawkins to teach read- ing, and Mary Hamarstrom and Jack Thomas taught language and history respectively. When Mr. Esther and Miss Shamberger looked in on the room they found that the appointed teach- ers were doing fine jobs and that the pupils were co-operating with them very well. An 8th grade year book is being planned by Miss Cann0n's afternoon class. Included will be names, faces, samples of work, stories, and poems. Marjorie Maule will do the illustra- tions. The editor-in-chief is Ann Rueckert, and Mike Hawkins will assist her. Good Luck! MR. CLARK Boy, there certainly are some bud- ding artists in room 119. Not only did Mr. Clark's pupils draw murals for Thanksgiving, but now they have drawn some for Christmas. Why not go in and see them before theyire erased? Presiding over the morning class is Sandra Shrout. In case Sandra is ab- sent, the vice-president, Larry Keller will take over. Writing minutes and taking care of the money are the duties of Larry Seale, secretary-treas- urer. MR. SICKING It seems that Sickings Inkspots are running competition with the CRIER. They are putting out a paper which has all the news that's current in their classes and things of interest going on around them. Congratulations to your new paper! Debates are going on now in his room. Gerald Schlatter, Don Osborne, Wayne Presley, A1 Dobyns, Roy Kline, and Pat Rodgers took stands on the question: Should Comic Books Be Censored? The decision which the judge, Miss M. Shamberger, gave them, was a tie. She stated that both sides brought out good points. Mr. Sicking's classes learned about the marvels Reddy Kilowattn per- forms every minute. You see, they visited the Light Institute at Kansas City's Power and Light Company. FREE DRYING Howcird's Self-Service Laundry 4033 Troost MR. KLEPINGER You have probably been intrigued more than once by the fragrant aroma which fills the air as you pass by Manor Bakery. However, the Klep- inger Kids were luckier than most people, because they visited this effi- cient establishment on December 3. They can still taste Manor's delicious do-nuts and bread, which they re- ceived! Reading is important in everyone's life, and learning to use a public library is essential. Since Mr. Klep- inger's pupils visit the Westport li- brary every month, they are getting this valuable information and are hav- ing fun doing it. General Motors is an interesting place to visit, as Mr. Klepinger's CL classes found out. They toured this plant recently. Now they understand better how automobiles are construct- ed.

College-Career Day Big Success The seventh annual College-Career Day program, under the direction of the counselor, Miss Ola V. Galaras, was held on December 2, 1954. Over five hundred junior and senior stu- dents received guidance in planning their college programs, or information concerning the world of work. During the sixth and seventh hours the students had an opportunity to talk with seventy-two representatives from universities and colleges through- out the country. Questions were asked about the important choice of a col- lege or a field of work in which to specialize. The career program under Miss Cunningis supervision took care of stu- dents whose plans do not include a college education. There was informa- tion available on how to choose a career and the qualifications were giv- en for certain occupations. Speakers were: Dr. John Goodwin-Chemistry De- partment, Midwest Research Institute. Mrs. Patricia Harris-T.W.A., Con- tract Analyst Division. Mr. Don Murphy-Area Supervision of Apprenticeships, U.S. Labor Depart- ment. Miss Priscella Platfott, Personnel Manager of Jones Store.

Feel sorry for yourself. WANTED: MORE WISE MEN Many centuries ago, three Wise Men made a long journey and they arrived safely. The purpose of their trip to Bethlehem was to celebrate the birth of the Christ child. Now, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-four years later, many men will journey to their own birthplace to join families and friends in celebrating that same birthday anniversary-Christmas. These men will travel differently-by high speed motor vehicles-but if they are wise men they, too, can arrive safely. It is ironic that this Christian occasion should be the most deadly from an accident standpointf' the National Safety Council says. Last year, 519 persons were killed in the Christmas weekend trafiic accidents-and December 24th is the most dangerous day of the year in trafhc. Early darkness and bad weather adds up to poor visibility and increases holi- day traific hazards. Fogged Windshields also make it difficult to see and avoid accident situations. Rain, snow, and ice mean slippery streets and highways. Good fellowship stimulates more drinking, often before driving. Thousands of unwise men fail to adjust their driving speeds to these hazardous conditions. To overcome the added hazards of the seasonf' the Council says, more wise men, bearing gifts of extra caution, courtesy and common sense, are needed. Then the traditional spirit of Christmas-'Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men'- will spread over the highways and the land. followed and free goodies were avail- able. A dancing contest was held in which seven couples entered. Ann T. V.

The hour started with a roof raising Rock and Bob Hedberg, the winning couple, each received a record album. A few Westporters were interviewed.

It was wonderful that you came back to visit us during our home- coming assembly. This year marked the 62nd anniversary of this fine old Westport tradition, and what happier time of year for old friends to gather than at the Christmas season. New and old alumni mingled in the hall un- der the clock with former classmates and teachers, exchanging memories of happy days gone by, and tales of new Worlds they have found to conquer since leaving Westport. When everyone had crowded into the auditorium, Lillian Bowser, presi- dent of the class of 1955, gave the welcoming speech, and turned the as- sembly over to Florence Snidow, last yearis president, as is the tradition. Florence, now studying at Drury Col- lege, called on Peggy Wathen, a Northwestern freshman, well-remem- bered for her many thrilling perform- ances in dramatic productions, and Carol Major, now a student nurse at St. I.uke's hospital. The featured speaker of the day was Mr. George Reuland, a former Westporter, now well-known in this area as president of the Gleaner Har- vester Company of Independence. He gave an inspiring talk that made us proud to know that our school num- bers him anion its rominent radu- g P g ates. Of course, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without music, and the alumni choir sang some songs that everyone enjoyed. The orchestra fur- nished us with some instrumental music. Another traditional feature at homecoming is the roll call of classes, and this year, as always, it brought enthusiastic responses from dozens of alumni. All who could come climbed Westportls steps once again to show their loyalty and affection for their Alma Mater. This year Westport tried harder than ever to get as many alumni as possible to come to this annual celebra- tion. Thousands of post cards announc- ing the assembly were mailed. It was a grand and glorious oc- casion, and we can only hope the alumni-know how they inspired us to want to follow in their footsteps and keep our school spirit burning bright now and through the years to come. Everyone wishes you, the alumni, a Merry Christmas and a successful new year. Westport Has Own Santo Squeals of delight were heard com- ing from the auditorium December 18, as twenty children unwrapped their Christmas gifts. The children came from the City Union Mission and were between five and ten years of age. The students of Westport gladly as- sisted in the purchasing of the presents, and Santa Claus, our own Mr. Harris, can always find time to make someone happy- Each of the children told Santa be- forehand what he or she wanted most for Christmas. Santa and his helpers, members of the Tiger Den Committee, distributed the gifts to each child. The setting was completed with a large Christmas tree and other beautiful decorations. This special Christmas program was followed by the regular dancing. Compliments Galore Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonder- ful!,' were the most familiar words heard after the closing of the curtains to the last act of Our Town. A production of Thornton Wild- er's play was presented on the West- port Stage December third and fourth under the direction of Miss Cecile Bur- ton. Barbara Church, as Emily, did an outstanding job along with Waymari Elledge, the stage manager, and the rest of the cast. Miss Beverly Presley and Martha Scott, former Westporters who both received their start in the theatrical world as Emily in this play, sent best wishes to the cast. Dr. Patricia Mcllnath, director of the Play House at the University of Kansas City, attended the production. Since she enjoyed the play, she invited the cast to attend the play 'lDolls House given at the university. The cast was also complimented by the re- quest from two groups to repeat their performance.

Ross, Kelly All Stars Jack Ross and Clint Kelly are West- port's representatives on the Inter- scholastic League All Star first team. This year, for the first time, there were both an offensive and defensive team chosen. Jack is one of the two players to repeat from last year. He was selected as a guard on the offensive team, while Clint was chosen as defensive end. Because of the two-platoon selec- tion, there was no second team se- lected. However, Ronnie Hogan and Darrell Lathrom were given backfield honorable mention. Westport is proud of these boys who received the honors for which they worked so hard. Faculty Outscores Students On November 23, the older genera- tion of Westport proved to the B team that experience can win over youth, as the faculty edged the Cubs 25-23. The game was rather amusing, and was enioyed by all who attended. Before the game started, several of the faculty gave shiny, red apples to the referee, Mr. G. V. Bourrette, to see if they couldn't get to be real bud- dies with him. The fourth quarter featured some razzle-dazzle on the part of the faculty. The leading scorers for the faculty were Mr. John Hunt with 6 points and Mr. Alva Baker with 5. The B team charges were led by Mettee with 8 points and White with 6. 8. FACULTY-25 G FT F C.

Tigers Drop Opener The East Bears defeated the Tigers in their opener 73 to 48, November 24 at East. The Tigers trailed by only 5 points at the half, but fell behind in the last two quarters. As usual, West- port was effective with their full-court press, but the Bears also used it and made it difficult for the Tigers to work the ball down court. The high scorer of the game was Ronnie Ragland of East with 18 points. Westport was led by Eddie Fisher with 14 points and Jack Ross with 11. Everyone on the Westport bench saw action as Coach John Hunt, suc- cessor to Jim Moore, sent in substi- tutes freely in the last quarter. N 0. N ame Year 21 Tom Fay ..... ....

Remember, be home by 12:00? Many students hear this while running out the door. You are more likely to hear this if your family is associated with the committee who made the Social Code. A representative from each high school in Kansas City comprised a pan- el for a discussion held at Junior Col- lege. The Social Code for teenagers was the topic of discussion which was aft- erwards opened for COIHIIICDC to the audience composed of parents. Some of the main topics discussed were: Home Entertaining, When Young People Go Out in the Evening, General Dating, Driving, Drinking, and Family Co-op- eration. Under home entertaining the code was agreed upon by both the panel and the parents. Proper behavior by guests, definite party hours established, party Crashers and open house all appeared under this subject. When Young People Go Out in the Evening, appeared second in the code. The hour for arriving home was the main discussion under this section. For Senior High 12:00 was considered the proper time for the party to end. The parents suggested that about an hour be allowed between departure from the party and arrival home. The main point under General Dat- ing was rules of etiquette. The girls on the panel thought boys should prac- tice etiquette moreg however, the boys disagreed saying they considered them- selves quite mannerly on a date. Driving was agreed to be a privilege entrusted to many young people. It is however, the responsibility of any driver not to overload the car. Drinking and driving don't mix, said Lucretia Gable, Westport's repre- sentative. Kansas and Missouri liquor laws were reviewed to show the audi- ence the difference between the two state's laws. Last, but certainly not least was a discussion of Family Co-operation. Ev- eryone agreed that this was important. Sol Ellis, a Senior at Southwest, summed up the social code by com- paring it with a water faucet. Al- though this faucet may work in one Scholarships for Students There are several scholarships of- fered to students who wish to attend Kansas City Junior College. One, of- fered by the Host Lions Club, is to be used for all or part of the student's tuition. A scholarship is offered by Delta Kappa Gamma to an outstanding stu- dent interested in teaching. The Federation of jewish women of- fers a scholarship which may be ap- plied for by anyone interested. Junior College, itself, offers several scholarships which you will find worthwhile. If you are interested in any of the above scholarships, or scholarships in general, be sure to go to the counse- lor's office and inquire about what you must do to obtain one.

Previews of Progress This rocket has been clocked up to 110 miles per hour, reported Jim Kronner, as a roaring noise filled the auditorium. Mr. Kronner, along with Don fSamj Herman, was demonstrat- ing jet propulsion of a modern-day rocket. This assembly, called Previews of Progress, was held November 17. Many interesting experiments and demonstrations were shown by these two representatives of the General Mo- tors Corporation. These programs are given by the General Motors Depart- ment of Public Relations for the inter- est and educational value of students, faculty and everyone in general. Some of the demonstrations were: the appearance of synthetic rubber out of a pop bottle, jet propulsion 2000 years ago and jet propulsion of today, the breaking of the inside of a flask while the outside was unbreakable, and many others equally interesting. Although General Motors presents such a program in Kansas City about every two or three years, Westport students are already anxiously awaiting the next presentation.

Today Wesger has, as usual, all the latest gossip and who's who and What's what. Who said girls are the ones who worry about pounds? Judging by the long line of boys waiting to step on the scales in the Health Center we would say that boys seem more weight conscious than girls. How about that Jakie? She's a blond, junior cutie, who is no relation to Trigger! If you can't guess who she is, you'll find her name concealed in one of the ads. This may be a bit late, but here is the answer to many questions we have been receiving. No, there wasn't a used clothes drive. Chris Ruf and Ar- lene Yadon were just going to Texas for a big college weekend and needed some clothes. Most senior gals were represented at the Cotton Bowl by an article of their clothing worn by either Chris or Arlene. Question for Kenny Pollock: Mary Nichols wants to know where you got those beautiful baby blue eyes. Any answer? While crossing the corner the other day by school, Wesger heard a scream. Drive around again-quick, they're crawling for the curb! Please Jolene, try to be a bit more careful! One senior to another: There's nothing more touching than to listen to an eighth grader tell you about his love life. Sort of takes you back to your youth. Meeting the deadline is this week's editor, a redhead, Arlene Yadon. Her work and careful planning have helped make this issue a success. Thanks loads, Ar.

CLARK Telephoning is a complicated sys- tem, as Mr. Clark's CL classes learned when they visited the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. The company had an open house. Anyone could tour through the build- ing, find out how a telephone works, and what happens when you dial a number. Thanksgiving had meaning to these sub-freshmen. If you were to peer into Room 119, you would have seen a pretty mural on the blackboard at the back of the room, depicting the pil- grims at Thanksgiving. Wielding the gavel in Mr. Clark's afternoon class is Mary Page, the presi- dent. Karen Hall is vice-president, and Karen Hodges has double duty as secre- tary and treasurer. Future plans include a visit to Kan- sas City's Nelson Art Gallery. MR. MILLER S-P-E-E-D-Y is the adjective which aptly describes Sandra Horn and Harvey Williams. These two students in Mr. Miller's classes have the ability to read fast. Sandra reads 1,242 Words per minute, and Harvey 1,035. Both have a comprehension score of 90, which means they understand 90 per cent of everything they've read. Con- gra tulations I College Day will be observed by Mr. Miller's classes when they go to col- lege-Kansas University and Haskell Institute-instead of having the col- lege come to them. After being trans- ported, by bus, to Lawrence they will tour the museums on the campus and see two educational movies. Following this they will visit the Haskell Institute. Mr. Joula of the Kansas City Uni- versity Education Department visited Mr. Hedman, a practice teacher, in room 220 on November 8. A visit to Lawrence, Kansas, has been planned by Mr. Miller and his two Common Learnings Classes. They will leave by chartered bus on Decem- ber 2 at 7:30 a.m. and will return to Kansas City around 3 p.m. They plan to assemple at the Union Building in Lawrence, then travel to the museum, through which they will be given a guided tour. After the tour, they will be shown two films, Pre-historic Times and 'iChampionship Basket- ball. The students will then visit the Haskell Indian Institute. The entire trip has been planned in connection with the social studies and science that the pupils are now study- ing. Hop Held Cider and do-nuts here, please, was a familiar cry as the 1954 Hi-Y Harvest Hop got under way on Friday, November 19. Dancing, ping pong, shuiileboard, and badminton were only a few of the highlights for the eve- ning. This year the hop was held in the recreation room of the Westport Pres- byterian Church, 201 Westport Road. Hi-Y's sponsor, Mr. Fisk Miles, and Perry Wfilson, a representative of the church, both attended the dance.

DECEMBER 9, 1954 Danny, center for the Tigers, has made many friends at Westport with his friendly ways. Along with basketball Danny has time to be a member of W Club, Wilson Literary Society, Hi-Y, Speech Arts and Honor Society. At home Danny enjoys playing ping pong and working on his car. Listening to the Four Aces and eating his mother's spanish rice are among his other favorites. Future plans con- sist of majoring in Business Adminis- tration at K. U. or Westminster. Danny's favorite subject is aeronau- tics. He was also voted the Most Likely to Succeed on the Senior Bal- lot. To these two leading Westporters, we tip our hat. Westport would not be the same without them. Make Up Your Mind Career and college day is an im- portant part in every juni0r's and senior's life. But the underclassmen have a part to play also. Scholarships that can be obtained must be worked for from the very lirst of your high school days. Why not look over some of the available scholarships that are posted in the front hall on the East bulletin board? You may also drop in and talk to the counselor, Miss Galatas. She has all the information and can help you map out your courses in preparing for your passport to learning. You will find valuable and interest- ing information on the hall bulletin boards. By observing them you may learn of many opportunities open to Westport students. COMMERCE COLUMN The Business Education Department recently purchased a new Ditto dupli- cator. Perry Winger, a sales representa- tive of Ditto Incorporated, visited Westport on November 15. He dem- onstrated the machine to the 3rd hour office practice class. The office practice class visited the Telephone Company at 107 East 39th Street on November 16. Guides showed the class through the building explain- ing the different areas of telephoning. The girls recorded their own voices. As the records played back, they heard how their voices sounded over the telephone. The Business Education Department recently received a loan of 1 ive Rem- ington Rand electric adding machines. Approximately thirty-five students from the bookkeeping and office prac- tice class are now being taught the touch method. Other students from study halls will also be given the op- portunity to learn how to operate these machines. If the students can meet a proliciency test by working two prob- lems in 160 seconds, they will receive a certificate from the Remington Rand Company. Westport was also granted the loan of these machines last year by Remington Rand. Cong ra1'ulafions!

With its many mar- vels, a person need only open his eyes and observe, to see how Mother Nature is preparing for the winter ahead. Many colorful leaves, which swirl in unexpected gusts of wind, float down from trees, or flutter as we walk by, contribute their gold, bronze, crimson and brown hues to the season's beauty. The crisp air which invigorates us so, is one of the signs of winter's approach. As the days become shorter we can eagerly anticipate Jack Frost's artistic work. Crunchy apples, do-nuts, cider, new clothes, parties and the end of the football season are all events which we consider a part of this wonderful season we call autumn. It is a season for living and enjoying yourself-also don't forget to study. So, take time out and see all the many magnificent things which are dis- played before us in Natureis autumn pageant. A11 you need do is look and they will be yours.

For the first time in the history of Westport the members of the varsity football team chose a football queen. Christine Ruf was honored with this title. The queen was crowned by Clint Kelly and Jack Ross, members of the all-city offensive and defensive foot- ball squads. Her crown was made of white flower petals and she received an engraved compact. The attendants were given white orchids by their escorts Ronald Hogan and Darrel Lathrom, who are all-city honorable mentions. The members of the football team introduced themselves and later in the evening a song was played in their honor.

Hockey Play Day East and Southwest were both de- feated by Westport at the annual hockey play day held at Westport Oc- tober 30. Girls representing each high school in the city participated. A short meeting preceded the games, which were held on the Gillham field. Marilyn Jewell, hockey manager, gave instructions to each school, and intro- duced Miss Galatas who welcomed the girls on behalf of herself and Mr. Hol- loway, who could not attend. In the Hrst game against East, Fredye Vickrey made Westport's first goal followed by one from East. At the half the score stood at 1 to 1. Marilyn Jewell then carried the ball '50 yards and passed it to Denise Stehwein who made XVestport's goal, winning the game 2-1. Westport's second victory was over Southwest, coached by Miss Rosemary Amos, a former Westport teacher. This game was a comparatively easy one for the team. Goals were made by Bar- bara O'Connor, Fredye Vickrey, and Denise Stehwein. The final score was 3-0. After the games, the Delphians served lunch to the players in the cafe- teria. 8 Tigers Lose Finale In their final game of the 1954 sea- son, Westport dropped a 53-12 de- cision to East, November S. The victory for the Bears gave them the Interscholastic League cham- pionship, while the Tigers finished in sixth place. The game was not a close one as East led 20-0 at the half, 27-0 at the three-quarter mark, and finished with 26 points in the last quarter. Westport scored all of their 12 points in the fourth stanza. The first touchdown was scored by jakie Ruf after he caught a 10-yard pass from Gene Vandegrift on East's 40 and went the rest of the way. On the fol- lowing kickoff, the Bea'i5s fumbled and Jerry Swofford recovered on the 34. I-Ialfback Fred Redd threw to Darrel Lathrom for 7 yards and on the next play ran for 11 more. Vandegrift passed to Clint Kelly for eleven, and Ronnie Hogan crashed over from the 5. The loss ended a rather disappoint- ing season for the Tigers. But the standings do not show the great spirit and fight of a hustling group of boys. which are the most important factors in a great football ECZIITI. Southeast Outscores Westport It was a cold and extremely dark Knight for the Tigers as they were defeated 18 to 7 by Southeast, Octo- ber 29, at the Southeast stadium. At times, Westport's passing and defensive play looked very sharp. All- star guard, jack Ross, played perhaps his best game for Westport. Jack was in on almost every tackle and broke through the Knights' line to drop their backs for sizable losses. Russell Mc- Daniel, Ronnie Hogan, Jerry Swof- ford, and Bruce Houdek were also out- standing. On offense, Fred Redd and Ronnie Hogan completed a fine percentage of their throws. Hogan also made some fine runs. Southeast scored a single touchdown in the first quarter after an 80-yard drive. The kick was blocked by Ross. The second quarter was scoreless and the half ended 6-0. In the third period the Knights scored first, with Carney over for the T.D. This time Jim XValker blocked the kick. Later, Westport scored their lone tally with Gene Vandegrift go- ing the last two yards on a quarter- back sneak. Marvin Braden added the extra point. Before the quarter was over, Southeast tallied again. The kick was blocked, this time by Bruce I-Ioudek. After the kickoff the Tigers threatened as Redd threw 16 yards to Hogan who in turn completed a 27 yarcler to Vandegrift. On the next play Southeast intercepted to end the threat. ln the final quarter, Westport made a fine goal-line stand, stopping the Knights on the 2-yard line.

S. the Best Guest speakers from the American Field Service, Doris Larson and Bar- bara Bryan, spoke about their interest- ing European trips this summer at an assembly November 11. Both girls attend Shawnee Mission High School and plan to become school teachers. The purpose of their trip was to have a better understanding of for- eign school systems, customs and prob- lems that these people face. They both talked of the greater appreciation that they had for their country after this trip. The second part of the assembly was in remembrance of Armistice Day, now called Veteran's Day. Bob Vegiard began this part of the assembly with the history of Veteran's Day. He stated that a day was first set aside for Armis- tice Day because World War I was supposed to have been a war to end all wars. But now this day is celebrated in honor of Veterans of all wars since then. After this speech, a group from the a Capella choir sang the musical pledge to the American Flag. Mr. Spring led the audience in singing America, We Gather Togetherf and Battle Hymn of the Republic. Virgil Broyles sang Bless This House, and the choir group sang A Hymn to a Hero in connection with the celebration of Veteran's Day. What Did You Say? A few of the students were asked what they would do if they had a pair of hexamethelynediameanacliptates. These are a few of their answers: Senior: Darlene Herman- I'd put salt on it and eat it for breakfast. Junior: R011 Grrgatla- I'd take them to Tiger Den, and dance with themf' Sophomore: Linda Teegarden- I'cl just die, I know I would. Freshman: Dick Flzmery- I'd cut my throat. Surprise!

Om' Town is both beautiful and touching. This is the opinion of the New York Heraln'-Tribune con- cerning the play, Om' Town, when it appeared on Broadway. This Pulitzer Prize winning play by Thornton Wild- er, will be given at Westport High School December 3 and 4. The play deals with the daily life of people in a small New Hampshire town. Two graduates of Westport I-'Iigh School, Beverly Presley and Martha Scott, received their big start on Broadway playing the part of Emily. When the play is presented at West- port, Barbara Church will play this part. One of the leading roles in the play is the stage manager who will be por- trayed by Wayman Elledge. As play props and scenery are not used in this play, Wayman's job will be to indi- cate to the audience the positions of various streets and houses. Much em- phasis will be placed on lighting and sound effects. The play is under the direction of Miss Cecile Burton, who has coached a number of performers, many of whom have gone on in the theater with much success. Much work goes on back stage that should be given recognition. Stage and Screen Club and Stagecraft Class, both under the direction of Miss Beck are responsible for lighting, costumes, makeup, and sound effects. Members of the Cust are as follows: Stage Manager ...,. Wayman Elledge Dr. Gibbs ,.....,,. Charles Sampson Joe Crowell ......,,, Loren Prothe , , , .Buddy Zimmer .. . Paula Bruce .

These packages contain personal items, school supplies, and toys donated by the pu- pils. This international project is one of the various J.R.C. activities in which Westport participates every year. Soon the home rooms will be gath- ering gift items to fill Christmas stock- ings for veterans in near-by hospitals. Later students will entertain at these hospitals. March is the month when the an- nual J.R.C. membership campaign is held. In these drives Vfestport stu- dents have always shown a fine spirit. At Westport, each home room ap- points two representatives to serve on a council which meets with the spon- sor, Miss Brubaker. From these are chosen representatives of each class to attend the all-city council meetings. In the spring, four students, usually sophomores and juniors, are chosen to go to a J.R,C. leadership training cen- ter. The four who attended last year are: Bob Mace and Mary Chris Toevs. juniorsg Bob Hedberg and Lucretia Gable, seniors. Red Cross is another of the many activities Westport students participate in.

' F : Z Christine Ruf-Ronnie Hogan A football queen and a football star are the leading personalities of this week's Tiger Twosomef' Christine Ruf, the Hrst on our list, has achieved many honors since she came to Westport, beginning with president of her eighth grade class to her latest, Westport's first football queen. She has served as secretary of her freshman and sophomore classes, member of executive board for three years, vice-president of all-city stu- dent council and attendant to Tiger Den Dream Girl. Chris is a member of Pundit Liter- ary Society, CRIER-HEIRALD staff, Westport Kids, sergeant-at-arms of Pep Club, treasurer of the Senior class, and holds a silver pen in the Honor Society. On the lighter side of life, Chris enjoys playing with the Westport Kids and cheering at the games. For food, nothing can beat her mother's pecan pie and shrimp. Head- NOVEMBER 24, 1954 ing her hit parade is Tenderly and Glenn Miller rates as her favorite band. The football star is Ronnie Hogan, who is known to all students for his outstanding season as halfback for the Tigers. Ronnie has lettered two years on varsity and is a member of the W Club. This bashful, blue-eyed senior lists his favorite foods as his mother's apple pie and roast beef. In school, his fa- vorite subject is trigonometry. Besides his favorite pastime of eating, Ronnie likes to listen to This Cle House and any music by Ray Anthony. Next year, Ronnie plans to attend either K.U. or M.U.

Money has been allotted for a large community house and two or three supplementary houses. All that is necessary to get this building for the Westport Commu- nity is the complete support of the people of the community. If you are asked to help in any way, maybe by taking home literature to your parents, be sure that you do all that you can to further this cause. A community house such as this would make up for many things that Wfestport now lacks. Want to Get Rich? M. H. Shearer, XVestport's physiog- raphy teacher, recently demonstrated a Geiger Counter and some uranium ore to physiography, chemistry, and general science classes. Mr. Shearer called to the attention of students and teachers that the Atomic Energy Commission still offers sizable rewards of several thousands of dollars for the discovery of uranium ore. Mr. Dice, mathematics teacher, car- ried the counter over his farm, but to date, no titanium has been found. If and when he makes a strike, he says he will help Westport get a football field.

Soon this familiar cheer will again be ringing in your ears. Basketball season is almost here, and everyone will be getting into the spirit of things. They will be making streamers, signs, and donning their basketball pins for the first game, hoping that their team will go to the state Enals again this year. Many of you will be bringing tigers and various articles to the games to show that you are XVestport rooters. Be sure that your actions will help, not hinder our team. The following are points to remember: 1. Always consider others 2. Never be destructive 3. Don't antagonize players These are just a few things that good sportsmanship includes. just remember that one individual's behavior can make or break the school's reputation. We were highly commended for our behavior in Cape Girardeau last year, and we hope that our reputation will be equally high this year. With your coopera- tion and enthusiasm, it will be. Speedy Fingers The former world's champion typ- ist, Mr. Norman Sakswig, visited the Kansas City Business Teachers Meet- ing November 3, at Junior College. His average speed for one hour is 138 words per minute. He talked with business teachers and demonstrated speed writing. Mary Fawks, a Westport business student attending the meeting, typed for him. Mr. Sakswig gave her many special pointers on gaining speed. Honors to Hill Congratulations to Barbara Hill, a Westport junior, who reigned as home- coming queen of the Wentworth Mili- tary Academy, November 13. Barbara and her attendant, a University of Ar- kansas freshman, were honored at the football game Saturday afternoon be- tween Wentworth and Oklahoma Mili- tary Academy. Capping the day's pro- gram, the two girls were guests of hon- or at the homecoming dance in the gymnasium that evening. Stop-Look Have you ever noticed the murals and pictures that adorn Westportis halls? The hall of the second floor contains murals painted by the Jules Guerin Art Club of 1947 and 1948 under the supervision of their sponsor, Miss Wil- hite. The murals symbolize the growth of old Westport. This growth started with the migration of pioneers to the West. The Indians, their raids, and the small cow-town growing into a thriving metropolis, were all part of this migration. These murals are worth your atten- tion because they are a part of your school. Take time to observe them. Presenting Lillian Bowser, our editor for this issue of the CRIER. Many duties and problems requir- ing much work and time were capa- bly supervised by her.

Fences, bales of hay, and a barn swished the rushees into the spirit of the rugged West. Pantomimes, west- ern skits, dances, and the ever-popular Westport Kids added to the atmos- phere. Refreshments were served over the bar. -- If you saw men from outer space at Westport November 9, don't worry about yourself . . . they were really here! That is, the Prometheans dressed as space men were here. If you would have wandered into room 108, youid have been sure you were on Mars. The decorations and refreshments carried out this theme as the Prometheans and their rushees ate green food in a room swirling with glittering moons and shining stars. A varied program of spacemen, giving skits and panto- mimes was planned and presented by Barbara Church and Lenore Yeager. Dana was the first girl's literary so- ciety to have its rush party. It was held on October 15 in room 314. Their acceptance tea was held November 19. Their theme was a carnival, and the decorations and refreshments helped to carry out this idea. Sixteen new mem- bers were accepted. Their names will be given in the next Cxuek.

This describes the scene at the an- nual Halloween Tiger Den Saturday, October 30. You might have had trouble identifying any of your friends as the majority of boys and girls were in disguise. The gym was filled with costumes of every color and style and several celebrities could be recognized among the Westporters. A contest was held and prizes given to the person with the most original home-made mask, individual boy and girl with best costume, and the best couple. Each division separately pa- raded around the gym while the judges made their decision. The judges were Mr. R. S. Groves, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Groves, and John and Martha Merch. The winners were as follows: Boys Si7Zgl0-DOUGLAS SCHLATTER Doug was dressed as Liberace com- plate with a lighted candelabra at- tached to his black derby. At 8:00 the lights burnt out on his hat and he had to leave to have them fixed, but he soon re-appeared. Girl's single-JUDITH KRAMPS A collection of German bottle tops, a gunny sack, and long black under- wear composed Judith's cannibal cos- tume. A long spear she carried and a ring through her nose added to her outfit. H owe-manic mask-EDNA STICKNEY The dancing cigarette pack was Edna's winning mask. It was about four feet high with three cigarettes extending from the top. Couple costume-MIMI KLEIN and BOBBIE SI-IIPMAN The Gay 20's were represented by this twosome. Mimi wore a dress fash- ioned according to the period and Bobbie wore a suit with a high straw hat and cane. Many of the other costumes were equally attractive and showed much ingenuity in their design and selec- tion. television an- The well-known nouncer, Bill Yearout, was present at November 13.

The game was close from start to finish and was highlighted by brilliant running and pass-receiving. Paseo's second half defense and well balanced offense made the game closer than was expected. Westport scored first, midway through the opening quarter, when Darrell Lathrom raced 29 yards on a reverse around left end for the score. In the second quarter when West- port fumbled on their own 45, a Paseo lineman picked up the pigskin and ran 55 yards for a Paseo T.D. The Pirates intercepted on their own 40 and scored again with 30 seconds left to put the 'Tigers behind for the only time in the game. With only seconds left in the half, Howard Barnum took charge. The junior half-back took the ball on his own 18, cut to the side line, and raced 82 yards for a touchdown. This brilliant run was made possible by the beautiful blocking of Ronnie Hogan and Darrell Lathrom. The conversion was missed and the half ended, 12-12. The third period opened fast with the two teams exchanging fumbles. Later Hogan passed from his own 30 to Lathrom on the Paseo 35, who gal- loped the rest of the way to pay-dirt. This time the kick was made by Marvin Braden to put the Tigers ahead 19-12. As the third quarter ended, Clint Kelly recovered a fumble on the Tigers 49. The next play was executed beauti- fully. Gene Vandergrift quarter-back, threw to Kelly who lateraled to Hogan. Then with Kelly blocking, Ronnie went the rest of the way. Later in the quarter, Paseo scored again, but West- port had the ball when the exciting game ended. Darrel Lathrom, Ronnie Hogan, Clint Kelly, Jerry Swofford, and Jakic Ruf played an outstanding game. Vikes Paddle Over Tigers Northeast blanked Westport, 20-0, on East's field, October 22. The Tigers fought a spirited battle, looking for their second league vic- tor but instead went down to their Yi second defeat. Westport came closest to scoring in the initial period. After Ronnie Hogan passed 30 years to jakie Ruf, the Tig- ers moved all the way to Northeast's two yard line. But there the drive halted as the Viking line stiffened. Northeast scored a single touch- down in the second, third, and fourth quarters. Westport's defense was highlighted by the play of Bruce Houdek, Ronnie Hogan, Russell McDaniel, and How- ard Barnum. Coaching Changes During the football and basketball seasons, Coaches Keith, Hunt, and Baker may be found ably directing NVestport's teams. Coach Samuel Keith, former center for Missouri Valley's team, is occupy- ing the position of head coach, former- ly held by G. V. Bourrette. Coach Keith earned his Master's Degree in Education at M.U. Head basketball coach, John J. Hunt, received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Education at Missouri Valley and is working toward his Master's. The assistant football coach is Mr. Alva Baker who obtained his Master's Degree in Education at Missouri Val- ley. Before coming to Westport, he coached two years at the Marshall, Missouri High School. Westport can be proud of her coaches who will lead the Tigers to high honors in the coming year. i MmAmmuS1 2510 East 39th at 39th and Prospect A GOOD PHYSIQUE FOR YOU DIO Complete One-Stop Service Westport Rd. 81 Terrace VA 9315 KElTHLEY'S GRILL 3831 Main Street Prescriptions . . .

Few pupils realize that assemblies are expensive projects. Classes are put aside while the entire student body spends a full recitation period in the auditorium and the cost of a single assembly measured in dollars and cents is one-seventh of the daily outlay for operation of the school. The hours spent by teachers and student par- ticipants in rehearsals after school also should be taken into consideration. Every assembly is planned with great care to provide Wholesome en- tertainment and contribute to the edu- cational opportunities offered by the school. Appreciation of fine music and the drama and a broader view of the topics presented by visiting speak- ers are among the important values of an orderly meeting of high school students. Strict attention of all stu- dents would more than repay the cost of every assembly. Remember that courtesy and com- mon decency in every assembly is the true Westport Way!

Students who intend to go to col- lege will have the opportunity to se- lect three of the representatives with whom they might discuss their col- lege problems. Before College Day a senior should be thinking seriously and studying material from two or three colleges which appear best to meet his need. He should ask himself such questions as: Why do I want to go to college? Do I like mental work? Does my high school work meet the college admis- sion requirements? Can my family af- ford to send me to college, or can I expect some aid from the family? What type of college do I wish to en- ter-state supported, privately sup- ported, co-educational, for men only, for women only? W'hat about the lo- cation? Are there scholarship offer- ings? How and when should I apply? These are only a few of the many angles from which one approaches college. Last year's senior class made quite a record in obtaining scholarships. The Class of 1955 should do even better. At the same time some of the stu- dents are visiting with college repre- sentatives, there will be career con- ferences for the boys and girls not interested in college, but seeking ca- reer information. There will be four such centers-two for boys and two for girls. Information about the whole pro- gram will soon be issued through our home rooms.

NOVEMBER 3, 1954 WANTED: Insurance-Floyds of Flundon, Flinglancl Dear Sir: It is my impression that you are noted for issuing insurance to anyone for anything. This is pleasing news to me for I wish to subscribe to cafe- teria insurance. Perhaps you feel that this is an unusual request, but I feel that recent occurrences in the cafe- teria have necessitated such an action. Our school officials have trash cans placed at strategic places throughout our school's cafeteria which are for the specific purpose of receiving such odds and ends as banana peels. Need- less to say I've been under the im- pression that because of these cans I need not worry where I tread. I was not worrying three weeks ago as I walked down the aisle carrying my apple pie. I did DOE begin worrying until I had stepped upon one of the before mentioned banana peels and was in mid-air descending rather rap- idly toward the floor of the cafeteria. I must admit that the apple pie wasn't an unbecoming sight but I felt that this was hardly the time, season, or place to be sporting a new Easter Bonnet. I shall not go so far as to say that there is no order in the lunch line waiting for food. It's just that if you're standing in the soup line you sud- denly find yourself waiting patiently for dessert. Although there is a great risk on your part, I'm certain that the fore- going statements will convince you that cafeteria insurance is of the ut- most importance. Sincerely, A Cafeteria W01'n Senior New Shapes in Cafeteria The wire sculpture placed in the school cafeteria last year was so popu- lar with the pupils that one of Miss Beck's art students, James Moore, is making a new design for the girl's end of the lunchroom. This piece of work will be the largest done so far and will show how the girls eat as seen through the eyes of a boy. A girl can be seen combing her hair while another picks a fat worm from her soup. QIt's really only a noodlej. Be sure to take notice of this as West- port goes modern. 7 Behind the Eight Ball Miss Cannon's common learning classes have been studying poetry. Jack Thomas and Mike Gafney have writ- ten a parody on Captain Kidf' CAPTMN KIDD This character in overalls, Is duty Captain Kidd. Some say he never took a bath. fThe soap he always hid.J Some say its just boloney That his favorite melody Was Ma Go Get The Ladder 'Cause the Cat's Up In A Tree. He drank his whiskey from a mug, A bottle wouldn't do. His whiskey wasn't very thing In fact, it looked like glue. They say he never pirated Beneath the gold and blue, But once when he was very drunk He slew all of his crew! One day when sailing on the blue He spied a spotted whale. He drew his trusty musket And shot him in the tail. In fact you'll find in nearly all The newer comic books That he was very elegant And never spoke to crooks. The reporters for Mr. Sicking's classes have been chosen. They are Ronnie Ottens, A.M. and Roy Kline, P.M. Y Miss Cannon's pupils have made some fascinating notebooks for science. Winnie Barnum made hers interesting by illustrating it with clever sketches. It is on display on the bulletin board in Room 220. A new new member of Westport's majorettes is an Eighth grader, Ellen Wilcher. She made her first showing in the American Royal Parade. Both of Mr. Sicking's Common Learnings classes enjoyed a visit to the Westport Library on September 29. Miss Mary Beth Day showed them around the library, issued new library cards, and reviewed several new books. The October field trip has been planned in connection with the current unit on Westward expansion. They had planned to visit the Ameri- can Royal exhibition during the week of October 15. Plans for November in- clude a visit to the Lighting Institute of the Power and Light Company. Mr. Sieking's afternoon class has made tentative plans for a class news- paper to deal with news of special interest to their class members and other eighth graders. The editor is Betty Mountain and the two staff re- porters are Don Osborne and Lavonne Dunne. Roy Kline will send a copy to the Crier.,' Jim and Pat Murray reported to the class on their summer vacation which received a feature article in the Kansas City Star, September 26. The family of eleven took another couple along so that they wouldn't be lonesome. Plans have been formulated for a series of debates on subjects of inter- est to Westport students. The first team is composed of Pat Rogers, Al Robyns, Roy Kline, Gerald Schlatter, Don Osborne, and Wayne Presley. Plans for the future, call for a debate with another Common Learnings class in November and a debate with a Freshman Civics class this winter.

X . Westport-57 Central-71 This was the first league start for Westport. Central won the game on free throws and long sets from the corner. Although. Westport dropped in more fielders, the Eagles converted more charity tosses. The Tigers' attack was led by Dan Acuff, Joe Samuel, and Leonard Perkins. Westport-50 Southwest'-52 The Tigers lost their second game in as many starts after blowing a 12 point lead. Led by Dan Acuff, Jack Ross, and Leonard Perkins, the Tigers rolled up a comfortable 37-25 lead at the half, but in- spired play sewed up the victory for the Indians in the second half. Westport'-62 Manual-48 The Tigers won their first decision at the expense of the unbeaten Manual Red Birds. Putting the fast break to good use, they racked up many lay-ups led by Jack Ross with 20 points. wesq-po,-1-..50 Southeast'-46 With Jack Ross again scoring twenty, the Bengals racked up their second straight victory at the expense of a hot-shooting Southeast five. The Tigers played sharp ball control in the final period to assure the victory. Wesfborf'-44 Easf-153 Westport fell behind by ten points in the first quarter and never could catch up as they lost to league-leading East for the second time of the season. The Tigers' inability to convert their free throw attempts led to their downfall. Leonard Perkins tallied 14 points for the Bengals. Westport-45 Paseo-31 With Eddie Fisher popping in 13 points, Westport dropped Paseo in a comparatively low-scoring contest. Neither team hit very success- fully in the first half, but the Tigers exploded for 29 points after inter- mission. Bob Mace led a late Bengal surqe which sewed up the victory. Westport-43 Northeast-62 ln dropping their final game to Northeast, the Bengals finished with a 3-4 record in league play. They couldn't do much against the Vikings although Jack Ross managed to get 17 points and the reserves showed well in the final period. Westport-61 Hogan-37 Westport advanced to the second round in the Rockhurst Regionals by trampling Hogan, 61-37. There was little doubt about the outcome at halftime as the Tigers held a 37-23 lead. Leonard Perkins popped in 17 points while Joe Samuel added 15. Westport-58 Southwest-50 Tallying eight points in the final 90 seconds, the Bengals trimmed Southwest in the most exciting game of the tournament. Trailing, 30-24, at the two-quarter mark, Westport came fighting back on the strength of some hot shooting by Joe Samuel and Leonard Perkins. They col- lected 21 and 20 points respectively in the thrillinq contest. Westport-53 Lillis-36 Westport earned a trip to the state tournament at St. Louis by trouncing Lillis in the finals at Rockhurst. The Tigers had little trouble in disposing of the usually hot-shooting Irish as Perkins, Mace, and Acuff led the way. .

Miss Jenkins comes to Westport after teaching for eight years at Northeast Jr. High School. She received her M.A. Degree at Kan- sas City University prior to her teach- ing in the Kansas City school system. Miss Mary Ella Porter, a former Westporter, has joined the staff after nursing in other schools of the Kansas City system. She recently received her M.A. and has served in the army as a nurse for 15 months. She has many health center helpers who are: First Hour: Norma Saunders and Jessie Gonzales Second Hour: Myrna Stehwein and Pat Mueller Third Hour: Lillian Bowser and Pat Flathers Fourth Hour: Lani Nichols and Jo Ann Jenkins Fifth Hour: Connie Motes and Ann Rock Sixth Hour: Marcia Zander and Sal- ly Krause Seventh Hour: Judy Turrentine If a tall, pleasant looking, young man walks into the typing room and doesn't come out, it is because he is Westport's new addition to the Com- merce Department. Mr. Robert Ballantyne, who received his degree at the University of Nebras- ka, teaches first year typing and short- hand. He is originally from Page, Ne- braska, where he attended high school, and later taught school for five years. For the past two years, Mr. Ballan- tyne worked at Traders National Bank in Kansas City. Mr. Ballantyne is married and his main hobby is raising his four children. Donit be surprised if you hear the Crier reporters speaking with a South- ern drawl this semester-they are just imitating the soft accents of their new teacher, Miss Doris Stewart. An Okla- homan, Miss Stewart earned her B.A. at East Central, and topped that with a degree in law at Oklahoma Univer- sity. She gained teaching experience in two cities in Oklahoma. She no doubt could tell much about her wonderful summer, which was Wesfporf's six girl cheerleaders are, left fo right: Lillian Bowser, Lucile Riegelman, Joy Coughenour, Marilyn Bure, Lenore Yeager: firsf row, Vicki Bowen. Six Lasses To Lead Cheers Hey you! Stand back! Gangway! Clear the track! Ding dong! Choo choo! Westport's coming through! This was one of the cheers used by Westport's cheerleaders at the Rose- dale game, Friday, September 17. For the first time, Westport was represented by six girls. They are: Le- nore Yeager, Senior, Lillian Bowser, Senior, Vicky Bowen, Junior, Joy Coughenour, Senior, Lucy Riegelman, Senior, and Marilyn Bute, Junior. spent touring Europe with a friend. As for pastimes, the new English teacher lists reading and cheering at ball games as her favorites. This year the eighth graders and other students interested in mathe- matics will have a bright, young teach- er to instruct them. This new teacher is Mr. Herbert Kramer. He teaches eighth-grade arith- metic and general math. Mr. Kramer's home town is Alma, Missouri. He attended the University of Missouri where he majored in Sec- ondary Education and received his Master's Degree. Mr. Kramer served in the Air Force two years and returned from Japan last year. Sports and traveling are his main hobbies. He also enjoys basketball, football, and swimming. He is married and has a seven month old daughter. A new common learnings teacher has been added to the Westport fac- ulty this year. He is Mr. John Clark, a graduate of the University of Kansas City, who previously taught at Cen- tral Junior. His interests include golf, baseball, and football. Here at Westport, he is using his knowledge of football as sec- ond team coach. Mr. Clark is married and has a 22 month old son, Gregory. Westport High is not new to Mrs. Mildred S. Patterson. She taught physi- cal education five years at Westport before her marriage. Although she has taught at Central and East High Schools and was a sub- stitute last year, Westport is her pref- erence. Mrs. Patterson was eager to relate her baby daughter's good fortune in winning a health contest at the Mis- souri State Fair. Westport Welcomes You! Welcome newcomers to Westport. We're glad to have you with us. Westporters consider themselves one big family, Working and playing to- gether, and helping each other in every way possible. You probably know that our tra- ditions include meeting under the clock before school to chat with friends, attending pep assemblies, Tiger Den, and cheering for all you're worth at the games. We sincerely hope you will learn to love Westport as we do. She is a fine school, and has many wonderful teachers who can ably guide you. There are friendly students who will grow to love you, partly because you're new, but mainly because yozfrc a Westporter too. Bcmcl and Orchestra Elect Officers Fred West steps into the orchestra pit as president of Senior Band. Clint Kelly and Jack Klee will keep the beat even by presiding as vice-presi- dents. Barbara Line, secretary, and Shirley Bean, treasurer, will keep the band in order. Marla Greim and Bob XVatts will serve as librarians. The band made its first appearance of the year at Allen School's celebra- tion in which they played several marches. They will also play at some football games and participate in the American Royal. Conchita Reyes will preside as presi- dent of the Orchestra. John Steckman will hold the vice-president's title. Shirley Waters, secretary, and Betty Liesi, treasurer, will keep things run- ning smoothly. The music will be taken care of by Librarians, Mary Webb and Barbara West. Is Westport Haunted? Is this school really haunted, or don't we have any of that stuff called school spirit? Everyone at Westport should have the outward signs of school spirit, which include buying your season football ticket and Tiger Den Pass, setting your alarm 15 min- utes early for a pep rally, and being hoarse the day after a game. The important thing is to have-a feeling of love and devotion for your school. Be proud to say, Pm from Westport. Let's all help to make Westport a house haunted with loads of spirit. Promising Tiger Den Year Feet shuffle and ping-pong balls fly as Tiger Den gets under way. A few of the special programs planned are a Sadie Hawkins Day Party, which is always anxiously awaited by all West- port females, a Hallowe'en Party, a Football Dance, a Christmas Party and an Alumni Homecoming. A dance contest and ping-pong tournament should prove to be fun again this year. Invitations to the dances have been sent to the leaders of six other Teen Towns in Kansas City High Schools. The Tiger Den Committee is work- ing hard this year to make certain that all Westport students will enjoy themselves. Leonard Perkins, chair- man, Irma Fields, junior chairman, Keytha Sharp, program chairman, Dale Hudson, work committee chairman, and Peggy Morrow, head of decora- tions. Working with the above chairmen are: Lucretia Gable, Lucile Riegelman, Tom Fay, Paula Bruce, Joe Samuel, Sandy Guilford, Dick Kiehl, Jane Gooch, Connie Motes, Arlene Yadon, and Abba and Anna Coughenour.

THE WESTPORT CRIER me , l70l77lI7U Take two peppy Seniors, a girl with a flair for cheering, and a boy whose favorite subject is sports, and you have this issue's leading personalities. Blonde hair, blue eyes, and bubbling with energy, describes our feminine personality, Joy Coughenour. Westporters can recognize joy by her cheerleader's uniform which she dons every Friday for games and pep rallies. Her other activities include holding membership in Promethean Literary Society, Stage BL Screen, Crier- I-Ierald Staff, past secretary of Pep Club, and 1954 Tiger Den Dream Girl. Listening to Ebb Tide by Roy Hamilton and eating loads of shrimp are her favorite pastimes. Preparing herself for recreational welfare work at Kansas University are Joy's plans for the future. Lettering in football and basket- ball, A11-Star guard on city team and Vice-president of W Club are the achievements of our masculine per- sonality, Jack Ross. The sports' world was graced by Jack's birth on October 18, 1936 at Climax Springs, Missouri. He entered Westport as a Sophomore in 1952, transferring from Central Junior in Kansas City, Kansas. Aside from his interest in sports, Jack enjoys listening to Ralph Mar- terieis Band, dancing at Tiger Den, and eating cheeseburgers and frosty malrs at Valentines. Concerning college, Jack is plan- ning to major in Physical Education and is considering Central Missouri State or Kansas University. Open Evenings 'til Nine S.H.E. SMART FASHIONS 3903 Main Street I Joy Coughenour and Jack Ross Tiger Den Gains In Popularity Jungle jazz of Africa filled the gym at the first Tiger Den, September 18, when the Rhythm Aires played their lively rendition of Skokiaan. This song along with The High and the Mighty and Castle Rockv presented by the Junior class, won the hearty applause of the audience. The second act featured Catherine W1'obel and Barbara West, from the Sophomore class, singing Beautiful, Beautiful Brown Eyes. Myra Mather did a pantomime and soft shoe dance in behalf of the Freshman class. Con- cluding the program, Christine Ruf, Senior, played the guitar and sang How's the World Treating You? , and as an encore, Hey Good-looking. Attendance was estimated at over 500. Money received from the admis- sion fee will enable the Tiger Den Committee to purchase a 45 RPM rec- ord player to be used during inter- missions. Ray Carl's band provided an entertaining evening for all. Faculty Shows Pep The faculty displayed their talents at the annual football assembly on September 21, with Lenore Yeager presiding as student chairman. The cheering section, composed of representatives from the women teach- ers, cheered for their aged and bat- tered team. The team entered equipped with football, helmets, bent backs, and moans and groans. Westport's football history was re- called by Mr. Ploesser, Mr. Harris, Mr. Wilcox, Mr. Poleson, and Mr. King. Mr. Miner introduced Mr. Bourrette, our former coach, now teaching sci- ence. The wish to have his successor be a former Westport athlete was ex- pressed by Mr. Bourrette. This desire was fulfilled by Sam Keith. Coach Keith, a 1942 graduate, introduced the varsity football squad for the ap- proaching season. The assembly was concluded with the singing of the loyalty song led by Mr. Harling Spring and the cheer- leaders.

Vi cfory Over Rosedale Westport,s fighting Tigers won their season opener by defeating the Rosedale Wildcats, 26 to 19, Septem- ber 18 at C.Y.C. stadium. Coming from behind in the fourth quarter, the Tigers scored two late touchdowns that tucked away their first victory for new head coach, Sam Keith. Wlestport kicked off to Rosedale in the first quarter and in ten plays Rose- dale reached pay dirt. Keltner missed the conversion. Early in the second quarter, Clint Kelly recovered a Wildcat fumble on Rosedalels 36 yard line for a touch- down. Jack Ross made the conversion. A pass play from Keltner to Everson covered 45 yards and added 6 points for Rosedale. Jerry Keltner kicked the extra point. In the third quarter, Gene Vander- grift, Tiger quarterback, fired 28 yards to Wade Fredrickson, who was stopped on the Wildcat 2 yard line. Marvin Braden went over to even it, 13-all. On the next series of plays, Rosedale scored again for a 19-13 lead. The last quarter saw Westport take command with Darrel Lathrom going around left end from the 20 yard line for a touchdown. Late in the quarter, Kelly recovered a fumble and Ronnie Hogan charged through the middle from the 8 yard line for the clincher. OCTOBER 7, 1954 Ross split the uprights for the final point. Rosedale's last attempt failed with four incomplete passes. Gene Vandergrift fooled Rosedale many times with his excellent play calling. The whole team showed plenty of fight and hustle and capitalized on every Rosedale miscue.

Playing without the services of all- star guard, Jack Ross, and end, Tom Fay, the Tigers couldn't stop the Wild- cat backs as they hit the Bengal line continually. The bright spot for the Tigers was the brilliant passing of Gene Vander- grift. In the final minutes, Vandergrift threw to Kelly who was run out of bounds just short of the goal line.

Galafas look- ing af the D. H. Holloway Future Teachers Association Charter. The D. H. Holloway Future Teach- ers Association was formally initiated as a club at a tea held Monday, Octo- ber 4. Miss Galatas and Mr. Fiske Miles, the club's co-sponsors, presented the members with an oiiicial charter. This will be framed and hung in a suitable place after it is signed by the charter members.

Myrna Stehwien Librarian ,....,, Nancy McCracken Members who were present were: Paula Bruce, Carol Greenway, Corinne Sillman, Jeannae Matteson, and Fred West. Mr. Holloway spoke briefly to the group during the ceremony. He thanked the group for honoring him by giving the club his name. Also participating in the ceremony were Mrs. Jenkins and Mr. Ballyntine. The purpose of the newly formed club is to guide pupils who believe they want to prepare themselves for the teaching profession. Membership in the club is by ap- plication. Approval of the sponsors is necessary. Busy Year for PTA Only four regular PTA meetings will be held this year. Increased at- tendance is the result of the plan an- ticipated by the officers of Westport's Parent-Teacher Association. This de- cision was made during the summer meeting. The Association started off the school year with its annual Eighth Grade party. Entertainment, instruc- tion, and refreshments were some of the highlights of the party held in the school auditorium. Other activities this year include the PTA Membership Drive ending October 22, and a Fellowship dinner, held October 19. The dinner, the first of its kind, was held in Westport's cafeteria. Teachers, students, and their families were present. In charge of PTA this year is the energetic Mrs. G. P. Reichel, Jr., presi- dent of the Association. The other very capable officers are: 1st vice-president, Mrs. C. A. Matherg 2nd vice-president, Mrs. A. S. McNaughtong 3rd vice- president, Mrs. K. I. Dandog treasurer, Mrs. J. S. Handfordg recording secre- tary, Mrs. Paul Conkling correspond- ing secretary, Mrs. R. L. Huntg and historian, Mrs. Fred Shibley. Your Student Council The gavel falls and the first meet- ing of Student Council is under way. Wielding the gavel and heading this important organization is Bob Mace.

The first meeting, held September 15, was entirely devoted to getting the names and room numbers of the representatives to Student Council. The second meeting, held Septem- ber 29, was devoted to organizing committees and hearing reports from the committee chairmen. The Student Council has many fine plans for Westport during the com- ing year. To promote school spirit, a display is to be placed in the front hall on the day of the games. Small banners are being made for students to wear to pep assemblies and games. The following is a list of the Home Room representatives for the first semester of this year: Bill Dill, Ig Tom Crosbie, 23 Karen Short, 43 Joyce McTernan, 53 Jimmy Wray, 7g Wayman Elledge, Aud.3 Conchita Reyes, 1043 Mary Kay Hamarstrom, 1065 Gary Teegarden, 1103 Norma Saunders, H.

THE BIG WHEEL TURNS The big wheel of Westport's activities has again begun to turn. The alert Westporter will realize that there is in this wheel an important part for him-a part that will make his years at Westport something to re- member. His activities will not only be fun but will keep the big wheel rotating smoothly. The Tiger Den is a good example of how a student can get into the swing of things. Westport has one of the most outstanding teen-towns in the city. Tiger Denis fame has attracted most Westporters plus stu- dents from the other high schools because of its variety of activities, such as ping-pong, dancing, chess, checkers, entertainment and just plain talking with the gang. If the sport bug has bitten you, you will of course join the rooters at our football and basketball games. You needn't be a member of the team, a cheerleader, or in the band, although they are outstanding spokes in Westport's activity wheel. Your cheering at the game will add a great deal to our school's spirit. Or, if you would like a quieter pastime, there are many clubs to cater to your present madness. Whether your sweetheart is art, your rage is for the stage, or you have steam for the team, there is a club to fit your new mania. With all these activities to choose from, no student should have time to feel left out, so instead of being run down by the big wheel, hang on and go along with these suggestions, it's really lots of fun. Invaders from Mars? If strange clothed beings have been observed in Westport's halls, don't run. They're members of Miss Beck's fourth hour stage craft class. These eager beavers have been busy re-can- vassing some of the old, badly worn, and thickly painted flats which have been used for many past plays. Mak- ing new stage flats is naturally a dirty job, so many have dug deep to find anything which could serve as a cover- all. By the end of the month Westport should have enough flats completed to make one full stage setting or two small ones with brand new flats. Congratulations to the stage craft class for making this long awaited dream come true! Here to Help You The matter of working for a schol- arship is serious business, says Miss Galatas. There are many questions which the student must ask himself and his parents. For example: What type of college is best for me? How shall I find out about a col- lege? How do I go about getting a scholarship? The counselor will prove helpful in finding the answer to such questions. One of the busiest and certainly es- sential persons in W'estport is Miss Galatas. Her job is to work with the individual students in planning their programs, and helping the students with personal problems. The counselor is available from 8:30 to 4:30.

The vaca- tion choices of Westport's teaching staff ranged from just staying at home to sightseeing in Europe. Browsing around in Europe's cul- tural centers were Miss Jensen, Miss Doris Stewart, Miss Eva Bechtel, who is now retired, and Miss Hilbert. who is now teaching in Germany. V Mr. King and Mr. Shearer relaxed in cool Colorado, while Mr. Poleson journeyed to Old Mexico, and Mr. Esther had a double vacation-he vis- ited the southern part of the show- me state, as well as Minnesota.

It is quite a change from the usual productions, and should very interesting. high school prove to be Martha Scott, a former Westporter, created the lead role of Emily. She played the part in the movie version and professionally for more than a year on Broadway. Miss Scott, is one of todays most successful actresses. Miss Cecile Burton, head of our speech department, will direct the fall play. Miss Burton was one of the first to successfully produce Our Town on an amateur college level.

Westport Represented at American Royal Selected from 250 Kansas City high school pupils to participate in the American Royal as Royalettes, were Connie Motes, Christine Ruf, and Diane Pearson, from Westport. Al- though Diane could not participate, Connie represented Westport as a royalette and Christine as a page. At the gala annual Coronation Ball, on the evening of October 15, the Royalettes performed in two numbers, one Scottish, the other Indian. Their able director was James Jamison. On Saturday following the ball was the parade. Riding with the Pleasant Hill Saddle Club were Verla Gouty and Charlene Winkfield. Beverly Sweeney, who is a Rodeo Kid, rode with the group of famous trick-riders. Dick Kiehl was not so easily recog- nized as Mr. Peanut man. Christine Ruf and Connie Motes floated around on a float. Westport's band marched and played many rousing songs. Rep- resenting the cheerleaders were Lenore, Vicky, Lillian, Joy, Lucille, and Mari- lyn. Westporter to Be Soloist Shirley Waters, a member of the Senior class, has been chosen by Hans Schweiger to play with the Kansas City Philharmonic as oboe soloist on the Young People's Concert Series.

Yes, Westport's class of '59 is just bulging with talent. A good part of this talent was shown at the annual Eighth Grade Open House, held on Tuesday, September 28, in the school auditorium. Displaying their talents irst were the members of Room 317. The song Tennessee Wig Walk was sung and danced by the girls of that Common Learnings class. I Didn't Know The Gun Was Loaded was next sung by the mem- bers of Room 305 with Hannah Tague and Doris Van'Sandt doing the solos. Mr. Spring's vocal music class sang Last Minute Louie which was ac- companied by slides illustrating the song. Last on the program was a square dance as performed by the members of Miss Cannon's Common Learnings class. The calling was handled by Mike Hawkins. To make the Eighth Graders more familiar with the school loyalty song, Mr. Miller's group passed out copies of both of the songs and everybody sang them with Mr. Miller's students leading. Preceeding this fine program, a short meeting was held with the president of the Westport P.T.A. presiding. Mrs. Guilford gave a short talk on the theme of the year Accent on Under- standing. She then introduced Miss Galatas and Mr. Esther, who both gave short talks directed to the parents of the Eighth Grade students. For the benefit of their parents, Mr. Klepinger introduced the mem- bers of the faculty that would be Have you ever tried turning your name around?

They attended a Secondary School Staff Conference held at Junior College and Westport. The theme of the confer- ence was Guidance Aspects of Class- room Teaching, and its objective was to improve pupil achievement in sec- ondary schools through fuller under- standing of the role of the classroom teacher. The schedule for the day was divided into four parts. First, Dr. Willis Dugan, Minnesota University, and Mr. Ralph Chamberlin, Principal of Rufus High School in Milwaukee, discussed the theme and its relation to the ac- tivities for the day. During the second part, the teachers separated into differ- ent groups, discussed such things as tentative applications to school situ- ations. Noon to 1:15 p.m. was a lunch and social hour. The conference con- cluded with a showing of the film High School Today. A representative from the Chamber of Commerce gave a brief statement in connection with the Business-Education Day. Do It Yourself Do it Yourself was the theme of the show in which twenty-ive West- porters took part. This show was held at the Municipal Auditorium for nine days, and there were approximately 43,000 visitors. The floor was divided into different booths, and in each booth there was a different project for a person to do himself. Ed Vancil, Jim Jarvis, and Jim Stroth from the wood-work department were demon- strating the construction of a buffet. The art department had a still life set-up with six students working in different mediums. Elaine Hodges worked with ink and wash, Heather Johnson with a knife in oil, Lynn Harrod with tempera, Mae Clair Scott with chalk, Judy Rausin with char- coal, and Sara Matchett Worked with a brush in oil. From the metal shop Don Dando and Gerald Moore were overhauling a gas engine. Larry Mac- pherson was modeling a copper pic- ture. Jakie Ruf was doing work on a lathe and John Ruf was doing bench metal work. From the Home Eco- nomics Department Lou Ella Spenser and Carolyn Jones were working on clothing construction. Rose Marie Darling and Kay Newman acted as hostesses. Kay, Fay Lynn Dyer, and Karen Harris demonstrated making stoles from hair pin lace. Dale Oyer, Oscar Casselman, John Davis and Ronnie Field worked on Drafting. OCTOBER 21, 1954 Campus Capers Many 1954 graduates are hard at work in various colleges and universi- ties.

Bengals Threaten Indians October 9 was a sad night for West- port as she was edged out of the way by Southwest. The score . . . 7-6. Figured as underdogs, the Tigers played an inspiring game led by Jack Ross, who returned to action wearing a bandage on his right hand. Westport suffered one casualty when Bob Mace was knocked 'uncon- scious during the fourth quarter. The first quarter was a scoreless duel. Then, midway through the sec- ond period, Ronnie Hogan threw 28 yards to Clint Kelly for a touchdown. Ross missed the try for the extra point by a foot. Later in the quarter, Westport threatened again when Mace blocked a punt on Southwestis 35, but the Indian line tightened. The Tiger defense held until the latter part of the third period after Southwest intercepted on their own 30, they scored on a 70 yard play down the side line. The extra point was good. Westport's forward wall again proved to be a great goaling defender. The Indians had a first down on the 4th and in four plays couldn't score. The Bengals once more played an outstandingldefensive game, led by lack Ross, Harry Whorton, Ronnie Hogan, Clint Kelly, and Bob Mace. 8 CLASSIC: M SUEDE EDITION -.., 1, z h I ltliskie' Q Classic penny moccasin in softest suede . . . with kicker-back.

It was the first Interscholastic League game for the Tigers, who fought hard trying for an open vic- tory. Central scored iirst with three min- utes to go in the first quarter. Late in the second period, Clint Kelly picked up a loose ball on the Central 30, and ran to the 15 yard line where he was forced out of bounds. From there Ronnie Hogan passed to Kelly in the end zone for six points. Marvin Bra- den added the extra point from placement. The third quarter was scoreless, although both teams played hard. Midway through the fourth quarter, Central rammed its way to the West- port 8 yard line. Then the Tiger line- men went to work. Led by Bruce Houdek, jerry Swofford, Marvin Bra- den, and Big Benny Dissellhoff, the Tigers pushed Central back to its own 43 in four plays. The Bengals gained possession of the ball there, but were unable to get farther than the Eagles' 17. It was a well-played game with the Tigers outstanding on defense. FUR BETTER LIGHT . . .

The first grade cards are outg did you: P retend to know what you didn't? A nswcr the teacher with a smile and compliment? S it next to the class brain? S ucceed in seeing his paper? If not here are a few tips for next time. 1. Be interested in your studies. You'll find you can concentrate much better. 2. Study for awhile and then quit and relax, but study some more later. 3. Study where it is quiet. Donit have the radio on, look at television, carry on a conversation and study at the same time. 4. Try to study in the same place at all times. 5. Take notes when you study. When you just sit and read you are apt to become tired. Here are the facts-the rest is up to you. Grin and Bear It A shy little man who wants no trouble but just wants 'people to like him, is a suitable description of the cartoonist, George Lichty. His car- toons appear in 250 newspapers in the United States with a circulation of more than 16 million. A few lucky people received the honor of meeting the creator of Grin and Bear It cartoons. The invitation was made by the Kansas City Public Schools Art Department. An informal reception was held Tuesday, October 4, at the Woodland School. Those present from Westport Were the art teachers, Miss Beck and Miss Jenkins, the students, Dave Acuff, Elaine Hodges, Phil Smith, and Robert Car- roll. 'A Are You Prepared? 240 Seniors took the Ohio Psycho- logical Examination Wednesday, Oc- tober 13. lt is now a required test rn bc taken by all Seniors before gradua- tion from high school. It was a stand- ard test until about six years ago, and is now needed again because it is necessary for entrance at so many col- leges. Like the A. C. E. test, taken by Juniors, it aids the counselor and pupil in knowing the pupil's prepared- ness for college work. The test is grouped into categories aimed at testing the pupil's thinking abilities. Ninety minutes is required for the examination to be taken. Sadie Hawkins Tiger Den More than 500 pupils attended each of the first two Tiger Dens. A new attendance record of over 600 was set at the Sadie Hawkins Tiger Den, Oc- tober 16. The main event of the eve- ning was the sack races. Marvin Braden and Vickie Bowen came out on top in the couples race, defeating Sara Match- ett and Jakie Ruf. Ginger Grooms won the girl's race and Bill Barnhart hopped over the finish line first for the boys. The regular system of the Tiger Den had changed as girls were asking the fellows to dance if they had enough nerve. Levis were worn by most ot the kids and a few came sockfoot.

Rausin Elected Yearbook Editor Congratulations are extended to a male member of the senior class, Jerry Rausin, who was recently elected by the newswriting class, to serve as edi- tor of the 1955 Herald. Jerry will have the responsibility of organizing club and faculty pictures, editing all copy, and will act as general manager of the yearbook. In the picture at left, Jerry is shown looking over the War- ren traveling display of prize-winning yearbooks. The newswriting class had previ- ously elected Elaine Hodges to hold this position but as she is unexpectedly moving to Denver, it will be impossi- ble for her to accept this honor. Stepping into the assistant editor- ship will be Beverly Hayes. Bev's job will be that of working side by side with jerry to make the 1955 Herald the very best. The Crier is handled in an entirely different way. A rotating plan is used, allowing different people to hold different positions each issue. From the newswriting class, Crier editors for first semester were elected. They are: Lenore Yeager Lillian Bowser Arlene Yadon Lucile Riegelman Christine Ruf Jerry Rausin World Represented In Assembly The United Nations is the hope of the world for peace, stated Dr. Her- ring, guest speaker at the United Na- tions assembly. Lucretia Gable, stu- dent chairman, set the atmosphere for the assembly in a brief speech outlin- ing the United Nations' works and aims. Colorful singing was contributed by Barbara Coonce, Heidi Remde, and Sam Perez. Xavier Moreno, jesse San- chez, and Conchita Reyes provided accompaniment. Bob Mace reacl the pledge to the UN flag and led the students in the pledge to the American Flag. The assembly was brought to a con- clusion with the orchestra playing Malaquena. Helpful Harriet Dear Helpful Harriet, I have a horrible problem to present to you. Every day when I walk down the hall, I am attacked by a battalion of Senior boys who pull my hair, twist my arms, empty my purse and even try to stuff me in lockers. Please tell me what I can do to avoid being the victim of these boys' grade- school tactics. A poor abuser! Senior Dear Jolene, Yes, it seems that some senior boys heard that chivalry is dead, and they intend to keep it that way. I suggest that when you see or hear a herd of the above mentioned boys heading for you, take the shortest route to Mr. Esther's office. You prob- ably won't be followed in there! If this plan is unsuccessful, the only al- ternative that I can suggest is-hide in a locker. In there, you will probably suffocate and your worries will be over. No matter what happens to you, try to remember that these Senior Men are just kids at heart. Helpful Harriet Dear Helpful Harriet, I'm in trouble! ! ! The source of all this trouble is, believe it or not, a light blue '50 Plymouth. Every Friday I come to school feel- ing great. As I step inside the front door, approximately 20 kids rush to- wards me, lavishing me with all sorts of goodies You probably think that I have nothing to complain about, but in re- turn for these gifts, each one of the 20 expects a ride to the game that night. I don't have the heart to turn these true friends down, but can't you see my predicament? I already have 16 traffic tickets for an overloaded car. Policemen aren't very understanding when they see ten people in the back seat, five in the front, and a multitude of girls riding on the fenders, in the trunk, and trying desperately to hang on to thc running board. Please help me! Dear Marcia, It seems that one really makes friends when one starts driving, doesn't one? My advice is to continue taking twenty people until your license is re- voked. Then you can simply explain that you are unable to drive--and your problem, will be solved. You might add that some of your friends drive and suggest that they see Sondra Ram- sey, Lucile Riegelman or Jolene Ham- mons. Helpful Harriet 4 Representative to Wisconsin Lucretia Gable, Senior, was West- port's representative at the Midwest- ern Area Junior Red Cross Training Center at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. This summer she spent ten days, Au- gust 17-27, at the Center learning many things concerning Red Cross programs in the school and city-wide projects. Miss Marie Brubaker, the Junior Red Cross teacher-sponsor for West- port, chose Lucretia to represent West- port. She is now a member of the J.R.C. high school executive board.

Senior: LENORE YEAGER Yes, the enthusiasm, pep, and fair sportsmanship of the team and student body alike is very commendable. On behalf of the cheerleaders I would like to sincerely thank the students for do- ing such a Hue job of supporting West- port's team and urge c'w'rybody to keep up the good work! lzmimf: BOB MACE Yes, the spirit of Westport has grown tremendously in the past weeks. The enthusiasm and vigor of the kids is really quite evident. I personally would like to praise the students for their fine spirit. Sophomore: KAREN HARRIS No, if every one would attend all the activities, such as Tiger Den, school plays, and the games, and really take part in them, we might have some real school spirit. Fl'l'Sbl71l'I1fZ ABBA COUGHENOUR Yes, School Spirit means going to Tiger Den, going to ball games and cheering, joining Pep Club, attending Pep Rallies, being present at all school supported activities, and buying the Crier Herald. I think the Student Council School Spirit Committee, Crier, Cheerleaders, and Pep Club have done a good job in promoting school spirit as well as the student body. S1111 F resbnzen: HARVEY WILLIAMS No, I think some of the school kids have school spirit, but not as much as some of the other schools. There could be more school spirit.
