The girls gave many con- certs, but the Southwestern Music Educator's National Conference in Denver, Colorado in March was the highlight of the year. The girls financed their trip to Denver by selling ball point pens, candy bars, presenting a benefit concert at Westport, and with the assistance of the Westport P. T. A. The Girls' Glee Club participated in other performances in- cluding: the Missouri State Teacher's Convention, Calvary Baptist Church, and caroling on the Plaza. MRS. HARLING A.

Varsity Cheerleaders Inspire '56 Pep Section This year Westport is well repre- sented by six, outstanding, peppy gals, cheering Westport on to vic- tory. These girls have really been working hard. They started prac- ticing in the early part of August. They are working out several new cheers, which they will teach to the pep section in a few weeks. The six cheerleaders are pictured above. They are as follows: Phyllis Malling senior: Phyllis is the president of Pundit this semes- ter. She is a member of the Span- ish Club, Honor Society, Future Teachers of America, and is on the Herald staff.

Do your part and let the team know we are be- hind them all the way, were discussed and the council was told by the president that any money needed for any projects would be raised without going into the students' pocketbooks, if pos- sible. Copies of the Westport Way were distributed to the representatives to sell in their homerooms. The Westport Way is Westport's hand- book. The meeting was then adjourned by the president, John Stackhouse. Westport Represented At Starlight This summer the Starlight Theatre gave two students from each high school in Greater Kansas City a season pass, so they could advise them what the average teenager wants. Each student advisor went to as many plays as possible and then wrote a comment on each play. West- port was represented by Judy Wahlt- man and Eddie Vogel. Judy Wahlt- man was one of the four student advisors who went to every play. One of Judy's ideas was published in the Kansas City Star. New Teachers To Westport The Westport faculty list for the year shows nine new faces, and a loss of four very familiar ones. Mr. Miner, one of Westport's science teachers, has left to fill a newly appointed job of helping science teachers in the Kansas City schools. Mr. Harris and Miss Junkin have retired from the school sys- tem. Mr. Regan is now teaching in North Kansas City. Westport will certainly miss these wonderful peo- ple. The first new addition to the faculty is Miss Pauline Baird. She is coming to Westport from Central Junior High School where she taught remedial reading. Here at Westport she is now teaching com- mon learnings. She is a graduate of Missouri University and finds inter- est in the theatre and in reading. Mrs. Byrd comes to us from Cen- tral High School. She is now teach- ing freshmen and sophomore Eng- lish. Her interests include her two grandchildren, music, and sports. Another teacher who comes to us from Central High School is Mr. Crane. A graduate of Central Col- lege in Fayette and of Missouri Uni- versity. He is now a science and social science teacher. His interests outside of teaching school include his grandchildren and traveling. Returning to the teaching pro- fession from a two year's absence is Mr. Craven. Prior to the two years he spent as a building contractor Mr. Craven was principal of Excel- sior Springs High School. He teaches math here at Westport. Mr. Craven is married and has a nine year old son. His time away from school is taken up with building, football, and baseball. Coming to Westport from Bethany, Missouri is Mr. Gamble. He is a teacher of wood work, metals, draft- ing, and helps coach the freshman football squad. He is married and has two children, a boy and a girl. He did his undergraduate work at Maryville and his graduate work at Colorado A. Sz M. Mrs. Hawkins is returning to the teaching profession after a period of absence. She taught previously in Iowa, and is now a common learnings and speech teacher. She served last year as a reserve teacher in the Kansas City schools and comes to Westport now as a full time teacher. This year we have a teacher from far away Iran. His name is Mr. Khodadad and he has been in our country for only seven years. He is married and has two children, a boy two years old and a girl four years old. Aside from teaching social studies at Westport, he enjoys geography, skiing, swimming, and running. He has broken several running and jumping records. Filling the vacancy in the chem- istry department is Mr. White. He is from Shenandoah, Iowa and graduated from Warrensburg. His hobbies include fishing, and other outdoor sports. Mr. White is also a teacher of general science. Mrs. Williams, a new addition to the math department, is a graduate of Westport. She teaches general math and eighth grade arithmetic. She has five daughters who vary so much in age that the oldest is a freshman in college and the youngest is in second grade. She is active in the Girl Scouts, and the Y Teens Advisory Board for the YWCA. Westport wishes to extend a very warm welcome to all her new teachers.

Dave Acuff THE WESTPORT CRIER First 'Den' Crowded The 1956-57 season of Tiger Den started off with a big bang this year with over 600 students attend- ing September 15. There was dancing to the music supplied by a new band this year led by Fred West. He is a former Westporter who graduated from Westport in 1955. His band will regularly play at all Tiger Dens this year. During the band's intermission records were played that were selected and bought by the Tiger Den Committee. The weather was hot and humid, but the students were having such a good time dancing in the girl's gym and playing ping-pong, chess, darts, and other games inthe boy's gym that the weather didn't seem to af- fect their energy any. Tiger Den is rated high among the teen towns in this state. This is made possible by the large support from the P'.T.A. and the many par- ents and students who serve on the various committees. The members of this year's Tiger Den Board are as follows: Chairman Mr. Sz Mrs. Herman Davis Secretary ..,....v Mrs. W. McNaughton Treasurer .......... Mrs. H. T. Crosbie Attendance ..Mr. and Mrs. Al. Miller Program ...... Mr. and Mrs. A. Brink Game Room ...................................... and Mrs. P. W.

A1 Gui1f0rd As the attendance at Tiger Den is higher this year more parents are needed to help on the various com- mittees. If any parents would like to serve on these committees please contact Al Guilford or Dave Acuff. As before, Tiger Den began at 7:45 p. m. and ended at 10:45 p. m. New Equipment in Shops Westport received new equipment in both metal and wood shops. The new equipment includes: a dust collection system in the wood shop, a buffer, arc welder, and a gas fired forge in metal shop. Last year the wood shop received two wood lathes and the metal shop, one new lathe. OCTOBER 11, 1956 The dust collection system is a device that is in wide use through- out the country. It works like a giant vacuum hooked to each ma- chine. The purpose of this machine is to collect dust created by the ma- chines. An arc Welder will help in the welding of large and heavy material. It will also aid in the spot welding of sheet metal. The gas fired forge will enable the boys to forge and blend heavy pieces of metal. The new buffer is equipped with a one hp. motor and will enable the boys to polish large pieces of art metal work. In -general the new equipment will make it possible to do much heavier and better work. New Books in Library Miss Fairweather has announced the acquistion of 19 new books to the school library.

ELECTION POEM By Pat Keeler Mary, Mary, quite contrary, Have you decided to vote for Gary? Why yes, I have, my little boy, Voting for him would be a joy! Well, hurry, my dear, to your voting polls, To play one of your leading roles, For Joe, Judy, and also Larry Have all decided to vote for Gary! Tiger Twosome This week's Tigersome may cer- tainly be classified as two of West- port's typical teens. They both are well known and well liked by the students. Kathleen Brown is a member of the Westport Honor Society, holding the bronze pin. She is a member of Pomethean Literary Society and is a past treasurer. After Kathleen graduates, she doesn't know whether she's going to college or not. Wayde Fredrickson is considered a top catch by the girls because of his pleasing personality and his abilities as a sports hero: but, Kath- leen has already caught him! Wayde has been a member of Westport's football team'his sopho- more and senior years. He has been a regular on the basketball court during the varsity games since he was a sophomore. In his eighth grade year he won the all-round gymnast award for all the boy's gym classes. He stands 5' 8 tall and weighs 143 lbs.-just right for play- ing guard position in basketball and halfback in football. As for Wayde's school activities other than sports, he is a member of W-Club and is now serving as vice- president. He holds a silver pin in the Westport Honor Society and he was president of his eighth grade and freshman classes. ,In the spare time he has Wayde usually can be found wherever Kathleen happens to be. They have only one big problem: He likes Elvis Presley on all his records, and she can't stand Elvis Presley at all. After graduation from high school. Wayde plans to go on to college. He hasn't decided which one to at- tend. A TIGER TALES Everytime we watch the boys out- side school with their cars we begin to have our doubts as to where the Kansas City drag strip is located. It has recently been suggested by the faculty that some Do Not Dis- turb signs be made for the use of those students who seem to be able to think better with their heads on their desks and their eyes closed. Just the other day we overheard a friend of ours say, If we don't win the next game, we'll win after the game. Speaking of football games, I think we all ought to be more care- ful at the games. Everyone should wear signs of some sort so the Health Department will know we're still alive. Mr. Poleson now has a brand new shiny arc welder. Now all we need to do is to find some arcs that need Welding. What with the new cars designed the way they are, we'll all need Buck Rogers suits to ride in them. While we're on the subject of the new cars it reminds us of my cousin Alvin who after looking at one of the new cars scratched his head and made the remark, They look like them plastic cars you buy at the dime store. Who was seen driving about in a dark blue Ford convertible Sunday night? On second thought who cares? After going to a few Tiger Dens this year, we have developed a new sympathy for canned sardines. . I have a little dog whose name is Rover, He's brown and soft all over. He's nice and cuddly to hold like sugarbabies It's just too bad he's got rabies. tStolenJ What is so terrific about Daven- port, Iowa?

Under this program a search is made all over the nation and its territories to de- termine who would be the most likely to benefit from a college edu- cation. With this program a free prelimi- nary test, called the Scholarship Qualifying Test, is to be given to the upper five per-cent of each senior class throughout the nation and its territories. Another test is given to those who qualify on the basis of the first test, after which, the final winners are selected by a board on the basis of their tests, school achievements, character, and leadership qualities. Those eligible for National Merit Scholarships, and who will be tak- ing the two hour preliminary test scheduled to be given Wednesday, October 24, are Dave Acuff, Robert Dakey, James Herbertson, Heather Johnson, William London, Larry Morgan, Donald Philgreen, Ronald Philgreen, Ken Pollock, Paul Ramirez, Jerry Rutter, and Mary Webb. There will be others taking the test. Those who wish to pay a one dollar fee to Miss Galatas may have their ranking in this test as data for college entrance requirements. Twenty-three scholarships are included under this program. Such programs as this are one of the many reasons why students should work to keep their grades high. Last year this non-profit organi- zation awarded approximately two hundred scholarships to outstanding high school seniors. TH E AMERICAN ROYAL The American Royal Livestock and Horse Show will be held this year October 20 to October 28. The Royal will open on Friday evening with the traditional Coro- nation Ball. The parade through the OCTOBER 11. 1956 downtown area will be held the following Saturday. This year Westport is represented at the Royal activities by three of its students. Sue Lee, a junior, will dance as a Royalette in the Coro- nation Ball. Stanley Gann, a junior, and Barbara Jones, a senior, will serve on the newly created Student Advisory Board. The purpose of this board is to create interest in the Royal and to give critizisms of it to the officials. In the following years this board will continue as a permanent part of the Royal acti- vites. This year at the Royal some of the special guests are Gene Autry, Rosemary Clooney, and Annie Oakley. Art Awards Two Westporters had the privi- lege of attending the K. U. Art Camp and the K. C. Art Institute this summer on scholarships that were awarded them through the Scholastic Art Contest. The contest was held around the second semester of last year at Emery-Bird-Thayer. Heather John- son and DeAnn Lewis were the two from Westport who received scholar- ships. The scholarship Heather received entitled her to go to the Mid-West- ern Music and Art Camp at K. U. for six weeks with part of the ex- penses paid. At the end of the six weeks she was elected honorable mention for best artist. DeAnn Lewis received a scholar- ship that entitled her to go to the K. C. Art Institute for six weeks wih part of her expenses paid. junior Achievement In K. C. Mayor H. Roe Bartle has pro- claimed the week of September 17 to September 23 as Junior Achieve- ment week in Kansas City. The Junior Achievement program is being offered in Kansas City for the first time. The first company meetings are scheduled to begin October 1. The executive director, Irvin S. fMikeJ Wilson, spoke to a West- port assembly September ll and ex- plained the Junior Achievement program. He presented a film, which he narrated, showing Junior Achievers at work. He has sched- uled similiar assemblies for five other public and parochial high schools. This year there will be accomoda- tions for 500 participants. With adult advisors, the participants will sell stock, elect officers, adopt by- laws, hold board meetings, and will produce products and services for the regular markets--just as real corporations do. Former Wes!-porters Win Scholarships Earl Burt, a former Westporter, honored us by winning one of the two Armco Steel Corporation Schol- arships offered in this area for 1956. Under this plan 16 four year schol- arships of 650 dollars per year for the college of yoiir 'choice are of- fered. The scholarships are award- ed on the basis of very stiff compe- titive tests. Earl is attending the University of Kansas this fall and intends to major in chemistry which was always his favorite study and pastime. Another Westporter, Timothy Shoemaker, was awarded the 250 dollar Nyeland Shuth Scholarship. This scholraship was set up last year by the Bendix Management Club in memory of two Bendix execu- tives, Mr. Robert Nyeland, and Mr. Harry Shuth, who were killed in an airplane crash last year. This year we will see a lot of Timothy as he is going across the street to Junior College. John Filson brought us more hon- ors by winning a scholarship in the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps. John has been ordered to enter Rice Institute as a Midship- man in the N. R. O. T. C. After the completion of his college train- ing John will be commissioned as an ensign in the United States Navy or a second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. 7 Drop League Opener Central's thundering end, Ed Huff, pounded the way to victory over Westport's Tigers in the league opener Friday night, September 28. Westport came on strong in the first of the game with Kenny Pol- lock recovering an Eagle fumble, after Augie Ruf hit him on the Cen- tral 31 yard line. Central moved 82 yards in 18 plays to get the first touchdown. Owsley made it 7-0 in the first quarter by running for the extra point. In the second quarter the Eagles captured a Westport fumble on the Tiger 28 and six plays later they went over for their second touch- down. They faked a kick and passed for the extra point making the score 14-0. Bruce Fitch tackled nine with Harry Wharton bringing down seven and Augie Ruf taking six off their feet. Wayde Fredrickson was a powerhouse and proved to be West- port's most valuable player on the field. Westport completed two of its four passes. Herb Snedden passed to Wayde Fredrickson early in the game to spark a ten yard gain.

The Westport Tigers split even in their two warmup games against nonconference foes before the start of the Interscholastic League season. The Tigers got off to a slow start as they lost their first game, 31-12, to Rockhurst, but the Tigers came roaring back to defeat Rosedale 12-8. Rockhurst led 25-0 at the half but the Tigers outscored the Hawklets 12-6 in the second half as Wayde Fredrickson and Herb Snedden scored touchdowns. Westport was off to a fast start in the Rosedale game, as Herb Snedden scored in the first quarter to give a 6-0 lead. A safety by Rose- dale made the score 6-2. A Rosedale touchdown gave the Wildcats an 8-2 lead which lasted until near the end of the fourth quarter when with less than 90 sec- onds to go Mike Staggs went over with the game-clinching tally for Westport. The whole Westport team seems much improved over last year. Es- pecially noticeable was the playing of Herb Snedden, Mike Staggs and Wayde Fredrickson. Snedden was the scoring leader for the Tigers so far as the non- conference games were concerned. Herb scored once in each game. Frederickson, besides accounting for a touchdown in the Rockhurst game, contributed a game-saving tackle in the Rosedale game which prevented a Rosedale touchdown. Mike Staggs was the other Tiger who broke into the scoring column in the two opening games. Mike is a sophomore halfback and should make a large contribution to the Tiger backfield in the next three years. WESTPORT'S FOOTBALL SCHEDULE October 5 --.-.....-..-............

THE WESTPORT CRIER he vatpnrt Glrirr Vol. 44, No. 2 KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI October 25, 1956 Fall Play Promises 'lio Be a Success One of the best liked of Sir James M. Barries many plays, THE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON, is to be presented at Westport, Friday, No- vember 30, and Saturday, December 1. The play is concerned with an aristocratic English family who revert to the state of nature when shipwrecked on a desert island. While they are there, they are the willing servants of their former servant, Crichton, the butler, but on their return to civilization their positions are shifted. Tom Stevinin will be seen in the title roll of Crichton, the perfect butler. Marybeth True will play the part of the indolent, lazy Lady Mary. Cast in the roll of her equally lazy sisters, Agatha and Catherine, are Heather Johnson and Judy Wolhtman respectfully. The girls' father, the pompous Lord Loam, will be protrayed by Mike Welch. The part of Loam's silly nephew Ernest is to be double cast. Friday night the part will be played by Al Guil- ford, and Saturday night by Jim Willette. The minister, Reverend John Trehern is to be played by Ed Vogel. Larry Seale will pro- tray the snooty Lord Brockelhurst, while Barbara West will be seen as Brocky's mother, the Countess of Brochelhurst. Tweeny and Fisher, two maids, who are very important to the story, are to be played by Hannah Tague and Caroline Stoffer. Others in the cast include: David Bark-house Millie Showalter Sandy Kiesel Gerald Schlater Betty Ann Gordon Ardeena Smith These Westporters will protray servants in the house of Lord Loam, The play is under the direction of Miss Cecile Burton who has di- rected the fall plays at Westport for the last three years. Carole Potter is the student director. Work- ing with her will be Bob Brewer and Peggy Osterstrong. The play promises to be one of the finest ever produced at West- port and all are urged to see it. Enrollment Increases at Westport Students From Foreign Countries The halls of Westport are fairly bulging this year with an increased enrollment of 167 over last year's total. The total for last year showed 1611 and the total enrollment as of September 28 was 1778. Westport has one of the largest increases in enrollment in the city. The classes are extremely crowded with several teachers moving from one room to another to have rooms continually in use. Along with this comes very long lunch lines and much confusion in the halls. Because of these conditions the students will have to show much courtesy and tolerance. Showing the increases in enrollment over the years the total for 1951 was 1372, in 1.954 it was 1449, while in 1956 it has increased to 1778. In 1952 the en- rollment for the eighth grade was 236. This year the same group, who are now seniors, have a total of 258, an increase of only 22. Telephone Company Representative Gives Assembly Mr. Dave Argus of the Southwest- ern Bell Telephone Company con- -ducted an assembly on transistors, October 2, during seventh hour. The assembly was attended by the members of the physics and chemis- try classes. Mr. Argus explained the transistors and how they are revolutionary developments in the field of electronics. ' The transistor, which is made from a metal called germanum that costs about 400 dollars a pound, is electrical device that the functions of a a very tiny can perform vacuum tube and is much more de- sirable. The transistors are smaller and more rugged than vacuum tubes, wiont heat up and burn out, and will last about 60 to 70 years. The three main functions of tran- sistors are amplification, oscillation, and detection. A tiny bit of power can be amplied from 100 to five million times by a transistor. Mr. Argus showed and demonstrated the tiny transistor orga-n, a transistor radio broadcasting station and radio receiver ,and a small transistor hear- ing aid. A demonstration and talk about the photo transistor was given. This element replaces older, larger photo- electric cells and is emiployed chief- ly in an electronic telephone call CContinued on Page 43 The total numbers for the indi- vidual classes are listed below: ' 258 Seniors ........... . ,,.,.,,,,,,,,,,,.., ,,,,,p-p,,,,, Juniors .......,.,.. .,,,,,.,,,,,,,,-,,,,,,, , ,,,-,,, 3 09 Sophomores ....,. .,,,,, 3 39 Freshmen .......,,..,.....,,,,,.,,,, ,,,-,, 4 1 1 Eighth Grade ......,,,,,,..,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,, 4 16 New Students Here at Westport we have several students from foreign lands. Four of them are new to Westport only this year. Juergen Altuater, an eighth grad- er, comes to us this year from Berlin, Germany. He arrived in this coun- try only on August 7, 1956. He came to live with his mother, who had been here two years prior to his coming. Jerry's father remained in Germany. For his coming here so recently his English is very good. Coming to us from Khoramabad, Iran is Hamid Jenabzadeh. He ar- rived in America on June 14, 1956. He is here for an operation and plans to return to Iran in about two years. He speaks Persian, but seems to have only a little trouble with English. Here at Westport he is a freshman. Carmen Pou, a freshman, comes to us from Punce, Puerto Rico. She arrived here on August 4, 1956 to live permanently with her aunt. Carmen quite naturally speaks Spanish fluently, but she finds Eng- lish very difficult. Coming from the Phillippine Islands is Visitacion Quinoes, a CContinued on Page 41 Information Concerning Scholarships Available To strengthen Westport morale and help the Westport student, to- day and tomorrow, educationally, and later financially, the CRIER will present, starting this issue, a series of articles on the potential scholarships that a graduating senior may win. In this issue, three scho- larships, The Ford Motor Fund, The Victor Wilson Scholarship, and the Engineering Club of Kansas City Scholarship will be presented. One of the most important is the Victor Wilson Scholarship. Victor Wilson, a former lawyer of Kansas City, willed a substantial amount of money to be given to the out- standing male students of Kansas City, so that they can attend col- lege at Yale or the University of Kansas City. The value of this scholarship varies according to which of the two schools you are to attend and approximately the finan- cial help you need. All students are expected to work during the sum- mer and pay for as much of their college expenses as possible, with the scholarship paying for the bal- ance. The value of the scholarship ranges from S100 to S5,000. To win this scholarship you must have a financial need, be in the upper third of the class, and have taken and ranked high in the College En- trance Examinations. The aptitude test of the College Entrance Exami- nation is to be given December 1, 1956. Or January 12, and February 16, 1957, the achievement part of this test will be given. All appli- cations to these test must be handed in a month -or more before the day of the examination. The College Entrance Examination is required for many scholarships. If you are planning to try for a scholarship, it is wise to see the counselor about this test. Another good scholarship, for both male and female, is the Ford Motor Fund. Only those whose par- ents have worked for Ford Motors for over two years as a regular full- time employee, and is making now less than S805 per month, may try for this scholarship. The maximum amount of this scholarship is 35750. With this scholarship one may choose from a wide variety of col- leges. The third scholarship to be dis- cussed in this issue is The Engi- neering Club of Kansas City Schol- larship. This scholarship is for all male students who are planniing to be engineers and who meet the qualifications of the club. The value fo this scholarship may range over 31000, according to which of the many colleges one is planning to attend. If you have any questions on these three scholarships or about the Col- ,liege Enltrance Examination, 'see the counselor, Miss Galatas. Intramural Program Planned The junior and senior public high schools of Kansas City will offer a boys intramural sports activity pro- gram two days a week after school. Intramural activities are for every boy in the school. The student who is on the basketball varsity will not be in basketball intramurals. He can be in table tennis, golf or volley- ball intramurals during other sea- sons of the year. Many activities will be offered such a stouch football, swimming, water polo, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, softball, tennis and track. Other activities will be af- fered as needed and requested. The theme of the intramural pro- gram will be An activity for every one and every one in an activity. The boys' intramural director is Mr. James B. Moore. 'hr Meaipnrt Qlrirr 313 East Thirty-Ninth Street. Kansas City. Mo.

Son fl Clubs Meet and Organize For The Year The clubs of Westport High School are off to a quick start with their activities for this year. The clubs here at Westport often are formed to perform a service for the school. Some of the clubs are organized to learn or to develop their natural talents. The FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA held their first meeting on September 17, 1956. Mr Ballan- tyne and Miss Casler are the spon- sors of the club. The officers who were chosen at the first meeting are as follows: President-Barbara Shipman Vice-President-Barbara Jones Secretary-Betty Segner Treasurer-Glady Fredin The first meeting of the PEP CLUB was 'held on September 12, 1956. Mr. Miles is returning as sponsor for a second year.

First Star: Give me a steak and make it thick and rare. Second Star: Give me a steak and make it thicker and rarer. Third Star: Just send a bull through and I'1l bite him as he passes by. Visitor: Can you tell me the name of this school? Jerry: Sorry, mister, I'm just a football player here. Betty: If your face is towards the east, and your back toward the west, what's on your left hand? Nancy: North Betty: No, your fingers. It came to our attention the other day that a big fire started National Fire Prevention Week off on the wrong foot. That's almost as bad as beginning National Education Week by going to school. Teacher: Archimedes made his great discovery on flotation when he stepped into his bathtub. Why do you think this principle never occurred to him before? Student: Maybe he never took a bath before! Say, that new locker arrangement on the second floor sure is handy. Now if you dash madly through the halls and knock someone over you have a place to hide. Teacher: If a man fell into a well 40 feet deep and landed on his head, what would you do for him? Student: Pd leave him in the well and fill it up. Elvis has all the luck. The girls come running and screaming trying to get into Presley's car, while all of us poor guys can't even get a strange girl to go for a ride at one o'clock in the morning. Speaking of the pelvis, I have a special offer for all the girls. I know a quaint old Japanese man that will tattoo Elvis Presley on your forerhead in blue and red for only two dollars. oc-roman 25, 1956 4. Before we get completely away from the subject of teacher and stu- dent relations, we should like to tell a pathetic story. It seems that in Boston there lived a sweet young girl named Alice. Alice was very bright and her teachers encouraged her to study very hard. Well, she studied and studied until alas, her brain gave way. Oh well, Alice is like her teachers now. Just the other day Dr. Frooble, an eminent zoologist, crossed a par- rot and a tiger. He says he doesn't know exactly what to call this strange new animal, but you'd bet- ter listen to it when it talks. What was a certain person doing over' .at Becker's house walking arciund in his shoes? How about that cusins? Why is Whitney Franklin always trying to find ways to get to Inde- pendence, Kansas? What is this about Bob Enloe go- ing army on us? Now we have a special section de- voted to the great, golden world of books which is the realm of book- lovers and scholars. Now this sounds octagonal, so all you hipsters that dig this jive fall by and sit in for a few bars. Classical Titles Call of the Wild or Office Sum- mons for Sub-freshmen?

This router is a Southwestern Bell Telephone de- velopment. Mr. Argus demon- strated a model of this router. Also included in the program were thermistors which conduct more electricity when they get hot. These thermistors are so sensitive that they were used by the Marines in World War II in jungle warfare to detect people one-fourth to one- half miles away merely by their body heat. As a sidelight Mir. Argus told of a prophecy in which everyone will have wrist telephones that can be used to call any place in the world. These wrist telephones will also con- tain a tiny color, three dimensional television that will allow you to see the person you are talking to. New Head Custodian This year as always Westport has a fine group of men as their custo- dians. They all work to keep the halls and grounds of Westport clean. They are as listed below: Mr. Charles Barnett, who is the engineer custodian, has charge of the entire school building and re- places Mr. Howard Bougher. Elzie Crane, who is the fireman, keeps the boiler room in order. Thomas Woods is the assistant custodian of the first floor. J. C. Huett is the assistant custo- dian of the second floor. Russell Wall is the assistant cus- todian of the third floor. The job of these men are to clean the halls, sweep the floors, and dust their assigned floor. Clifford Bryson is the assistant custodian of the basement floor. James Riegel is the assistant cus- todian of the day shift. He works over the entire building washing windows.

She served on the executive board of the stu- dent council during her freshman year and now serves as secretary. She was also appointed as an all-city student council representative.

King left for their summer home at Silver Lakes, Colorado on June 30. They took a detour down to Sante Fe, New Mexi- co, which is one of the most in- teresting side trips in that area. They arrived at Silver Lakes July 3, staying until July 30. From there they toured all through the North- west and southwestern Canada. A few of the sights they saw were Yellowstone National Park, Grand Coulee Dam, and the Columbia River Valley. They saw some of the most scenic places of the United States and Canada and encountered nature at her best. After their trip they stopped again at their summer home in Colorado to close up for the winter. They enjoyed their trip very much and have a lot of wonderful memories. All the Kings can Say now is, There's nothing like travel! Mr. and Mrs. Fred Miller spent the first eight weeks of the past summer commuting to K. U. where both were enrolled in the graduate school of education. In August they took a short trip into Kansas to visit relatives. At Manhattan they visit- ed at the home of Mr. Miller's Sis- ter who is a professor in Home Eco- nomics at Kansas State. At Wichita they visited with a brother who is an engineer in aircraft design with Boeing. On September 21, Mr. Miller and his family drove to Amarillo, Texas to visit their son, Fred. Fred, who was a junior at Westport last year, is stationed there in the Air Corps. Mir. and Mrs. Fred Miller's summer proved to be an eventful one. y Mr. Sicking managed to have a terrific vacation in Mexico even though he did spend two weeks on active duty with the U. S. Force Reserves and six weeks of class- work at the University of Kansas City. He visited two former college friends who are now living in Mexi- co. The rest of the vacation was 'spent in Texas. Mr. Sicking is planning to fly to Miami, Florida this December for a friend's wed- ding and the Orange Bowl. Miss Marilyn Jensen spent some time at the Teacher's College of Columbia University in New York City. There she was taking courses in counseling and guidance. She also spent a week with friends in Maine. Miss Cannon spent her vacation this year in Canada. She went as far as the road goes on Lake Superior. Surrounded by beautiful mountains, trees, and lakes, she had a very wonderful time. Eight Grade Holds Orientation Program Members of Westport's eighth grade class and their parents as- sembled in the school auditorium October 2, at 7:30 p.m. for the an- nual eighth grade orientation. The purpose of this program is to en- able the new eighth graders to find their bearings and establish their relations at Westport. Mr. Fred Miller, chairman of the evening's program, opened the pro- gram by introducing the principal of our school, Mr. D. H. Holloway. Mr. W. S. Esther, Westport's vice-. principal, gave a general welcome. to the eighth graders and their para. ents. Next, Miss Galatas the school' counselor, gave a talk on what it means to grow up in high school. The school nurse, Miss M. E. Porter, gave some health hints. The Student Council president, John Stackhouse, was not available for the evening so Al Guilford, a junior, spoke on his behalf. Al ex- plained the functions of the Student Council at Westport. He also talk- ed about English fees, Tiger Den fees, street car pass fees, and the fee for the Crier-Herald and pointed out the values behind each one. Dave Acuff, senior, told of his five year's experience with Tiger Den. He told the parents and new students that Tiger Den is a good place to have a lot of fun without getting into trouble. Mrs. Kaufman, who is the new sponsor of Y-Teens, was introduced next. She explained the functions and activities of this organization since it is about the only club to which eighth graders can belong. After this program in the audi-. torium was concluded, the parentsf found what a day at Westport is likel by accompaning their children froml class to class as they followed their! daily program, based on seveni minute periods.

The theme of the pro- ject was original and has been com- plimented by several visitors to the room. James Watts used his inter- est in collecting stamps to present three wall panels of Missouri his- tory. The first is devoted to stamps in commenoration of such early Missouri pioneers as Lewis and Clark and Daniel Boone. The second is devoted to buildings and land- marks in Missouri, and the third deals with stamp issued with various centennials of cities and town of Missouri.

The boys and girls played many games, but foot- ball seemed to be most exciting. Mary Kay Hammerstrom, a sopho- more, showed the children of Miss Cannon's classes how she used to give the news when she was in the Eighth Grade. She did a fine job and they enjoyed it.

The executive board of J.R.C., which is made up of one representative from each high school, was sent to a J.R.C. National Leadership Training Cen- ter during the summer. On October 1, the executive board met and made plans for the Regional Leadership Train- ing Center which was to be held at Unity Farm on October 4 to 6.

That slippery pigskin changed hands eleven times with Westport holding the 6-5 advantage. To open the second half, East kicked off and recovered Westport's fumble. On the next scrimmage play Westport recovered an East fumble. The Tigers slipped in one play before they lost the ball. One play later East broke through for the touchdown. Walt Hicklin took the ball and plunged for the extra point. The situation returned to normal, and then, boom, Kenny Pollock and Andy Sandquist broke through the line and tagged the Bears for a 14 yard loss on the fourth down. It took the Tigers only 6 plays to spring Wayde Fredrickson into the end zone. Wayde then kicked the extra point. Augie Ruf recovered two fumbles for Westportg Bruce Fitch and Carl Hudson made eight tackles apiece. On the offense Bill Henry and Larry Holland did a wonderful job We played at East with 2000 peo- ple attending. Westport Coaches To head Westport's football teams are three of the finest coaches in the city. To coachlthe Tiger varsity is Coach Keithg second team, Coach Pattersong and the freshmen coach is Coach Gamble. Coach Sam Keith came to West- port after serving a hitch in the Marines. He has been coach since the fall of '53. Mr. Keith was a graduate of Westport and lettered in football 3 years. He played cen- ter in both football and basketball. He also attended the University of Missouri. He is married and the proud father of two sparkling young lads who someday will play football. To lead the second team is a man well qualified for the job, Coach Patterson. He attended War- rensburg State College and the Uni- versity of Wyoming. He lettered in all major sports at both schools. He has previously had experience as a 8 , . A . . 4 Bruising tackles like these are what held East to a 7-7 tie. Westport players shown surrounding this hapless East runner are Kenny Pollock t36l. Andy Sandquist 1321, Mike Stagg i20i, and Wayde Fredrickson 1273. Tigers Clash, Westport Loses Westport lost its second Inter- scholastic League contest Friday night, October 7, to Lincoln 13-7. Westport led Lincoln in every ground-gaining statistical depart- ment. Herb Snedden scored the lone Westport touchdown. Despite an injury to his ankle which he receiv- cd in the East game, Herb outran the entire Lincoln team for sixty yards to give Westport a 6-0 lead. Wayde Fredricksonls kick split the upright to make the score '7-0. Wayde was Mir, Everything for Westport. In addition to his kick of the point after the touchdown, Wayde completed several passes and displayed some beautiful brok- en-field running. Wayde also knock- ed down a Lincoln pass that was almost sure to be completed for a football and basketball coach. Coach Gamble has command of the freshman squad this year. His home town is Plattsburg, Missouri. He went to college at Maryville. He lettered 3 years, made all-con- ference center in '48, and was cap- tain of his team. After graduating he coached football at Bethany for six years. By the way, for the in- formation iof those gals w'ho were making eyes at him, he is married and the daddy of two. touchdown and he foiled another touchdown bid with a last-minute tackle. Jim Carras reeled off several long gains as he went back to pass and then charged up the center of the field as Westport's line took out any would-be tacklers. In all five Westport backs got in on the passing attack. Westport's passing yardage totaled 96 to add to 208 yards rushing. Probably the miost detrimental factor to West- port's cause was the 90 yards they were penalized. Two of these pen- alties in particular came at a most inopportune time for Westport, when they were driving toward the Lincoln goal late in the game. It was interesting to note the con- trast between the Westport and Lin- coln cheering sections. The West- port fans far out-numbered the Lincoln fans despite the fact that Lincoln was playing at their home field. We could not help looking across the field every few minutes to see if their was anyone left over there. There was no need to search for the Westport cheering section. They never ceased supporting the Westport Tigers in the true West- port tradition.

THE WESTPORT CRIER Under the lllnck October 23 was a very important day in Westport history. A certain 'English teacher forgot her pen and had to borrow one from one of her stu-dents! Gary Kee told the first hour speech cla-ss that the scar on top of his head was a result of a rock that 'his little brother dropped when Gary was younger. Mr. King said 'he had always wondered what was wrong with Gary. Karen Harris has been seen wear- ing a K. U. sweat-shirt. Could it be that Dick Schrader is a fresh- man at K. U.? What square in the new-swriting class doesn't like the radio? Who was excused from the li- brary for indulging in the ancient sport of holding hands? What about that Art? FLAsSH-Elvis had a brush fire in his side burns. It is reported that in the eighth grade they are teaching a goat to talk. According to sources, he has mastered the first syllable of ba- nana. The thing that really burns us is going to a hallowe'en party without a costume and having someone asking you to unmask. This one is for the hunters only. If you load your own shells, and you are tramping across a field, when a rabbit should jumfp out and you miss, you can always say that you forgot to put the shot in your shells. There is a new type iodine that is supposed to be painless. But it doesn't fool juni-or, he screams as much as ever. It has been so long since we've had a lengthy assembly that we're 'beginning to wonder how we can make it through the day. 1t's a good thing we had our foot- ball games on Thursdays. At least NOVEMBER 15. 1-956 we had an excuse for being dull on Friday. We noticed .in the last issue of the Crier that something was men- tioned about water polo in an arti- cle. Well, that sounds okay, but we were wondering-isn t that sort of rough on the ponies. . iger gui!! In Los Angeles, Calif., it is un- lawful for a person to shoot at a jackrabbit from a trolley car in transit. We think this is awfully inconsiderate. Just the other day, our aunt Flor- ence had a vision that her sister in Detroit was dying. Well, her vision wias wrong, but we still think it was wonderful to have 'been able to see that far. The next time you make a wise- crack about some gal dying her hair, remember, it wtas probably that col- or when she first bought it. Our cousin Homer has been call- ing on young girls at night lately, and telling them that if they'll turn out the lights he'l1 show t-hem a new game. By the way girls, Homer can't be out later -than ten o'clock, so don't wait up too long. Now we leave you with Wesger's mainly because words of wisdom, we can't find any other way to get rid of them. It's all right to know and his monkey, monkey with an an organ grinder but you shouldn't organ grinder.

Isaac McCoy, A Bap- itist missionary, claimed a -tract of govern-ment land which is now Westport. Westport Road at that -time was a part of the old Santa Fe Trail which started at Franklin, Missouri, and went through Inde- pendence, Missouri. In 1833, John McCoy the son of Isaac, decided to build a town and divided the land around his store into lots and called this settlement Westport as it was a port of entry into the great Wes- tern country. His main drawback wuas in having to ship his supplies 18 miles from Blue Mills. He was finally success- ful in having his supplies left at a rock four miles north on the Mis- souri River. This was known as Westport Landing and later was the beginning of Kansas City. J. M. Hunter was persuaded by McCoy to build a general mercantile store and soon the superior advant- ages of Westport as a business cen- ter were recognized and many mer- chants, blacksmiths, etc., established stores along Westport Rd. Westport had a boom between 1843 'and 1849 and in 1855 was at its peak having a population of 5,000. Ift was incorporated in 1857. West- port's importance passed with the Civil War as Westport was southern and Kansas 'City nont-hern and bus- iness went to Kansas City. In 1901 Kansas 'City took in Westport Among other historical spots in Westport, the Westport Shrine Com- mittee is trying to buy the Penn School from the Board of Educa- tion. They need about 325,000 for the initial expenditure for the pro- ject of turning the school into a liv- ing museum.

The theme of this Tiger Den was derived from the Lil Abner comic strip. Everyone came dressed in their rags. The gals asked the boys for the dance, in- stead of the usual way. Many of our popular boys hardly had time to rest because of this. About nine 'o'clock, the intermission came. Dur- ing intermission, several sack races were held. One was between 'Lil Abner, represented by John Stack- house, and Daisy Mae, represented by Pam Izard. Lil Abner, in his odd uniform, won. The final sack race was won by David Dubois. By a close race, Tom, Crosbie and Vance Morris won the three-legged race. The Halloween Tiger Den was held Saturday, October 28. A wonderful job was done by the de- coration committee in decorating the gym. Costumes were judged according to originality. The fina- lists are listed below: Best homemade mask-Barbara Hopkins. Best girl costume-Peggy Hood- enpyle. Best boy costume-David Hood- enpyle. Best Couple-Ray Wheeler and Judy Draper.

After the Sextete Miss Galatas, our Counselor, handed out the cer- tificates for the bronze and silver pins to the eligible members. She took Mr. D. H.

Mr. Spring and the Orchetra led in the Loyalty Song. ,..,L..l.l..T.1 Students Contribute to UF West-port students are to be con- gratulated on the fine job they did in contributing to the Heart of America United Campaign.

Visits Westport Dudley Gives Speech During hour five, October 22, a group of about 40 boys met in room 114 to talk with Mr. Dudley of the Massachusetts Institute of Technol- ogy. Mr. Dud1y's 25 minute speech on the type of college M.I.T. is and its functions, was followed by a question and answer session that pivoted on college finances. As Mr. Dudley explained, M.I.T. is an institution whose work and study center on science or the search for truth in the natural world around us with the objective of developing mental discipline and giving a broad education. The studies at M.I.T. are divided into five groups: sciences, engineering, architecture, industrial management, and the humanities. As brought out in the question and answer session, there are many wiays to finance your education at M.I.T. These include scholarships, student loans at low rates, summer jobs, and jobs during the school year. The requirements for en- 'trance were brought up and are as follows: four years English: three years math, and one year science, preferably physics. Also present at the meeting were Miss Galatas, Miss Dingee, director of guidance and counseling, Mr. Holloway, and Mr. Weatherly, the M.I.T. representative in Kansas City.

Mike Welch was chosen to represent Afghanistan. Don Brockman was selected to represent Cambodia. Tom Stevinin was the Russian representative and David Barkhouse was his alternate. Tom made a speech concerning the Russian viewpoint of the Suez Canal controversy. Students repre- senting all the high schools in the Kansas City area participated. Several of the delegates were in the costumes of the country they were representing. Entertainment was provided by the American Legion Band and the Park College Singers. American Royal Parade The American Royal parade ush- ered in 'the annual Kansas City livestock and horse show, October 20 at 9:30 a.m. Beforehand, the parade officials predicted a record crowd and they proved to be correct. The parade consisted of floats, mounted riders, brass bands and famous people from, the entertain- ment field. In fall, there were 2,250 participants and 107 units. Among the notables present were Rosemary Clooney, Ted Mack, Hopalong Cas- eidy, and several Laitin-American ambassadors who were here on a 3-day goodwill tour. The 120-piece Future Farmers of America band and color guard led the long procession as has been its tradition of many years. Besides the FFA band, there were twenty- nine other bands from the Greaiter Kansas City area. Among the high school bands that marched were: Westport, Lillis, Kem-per Military Academy, Wyandotte, Ward, Wash- ington, Central, Argentine, Hogan, Southeast, Southwest, Gardner, Blue Springs, North Kansas City, Shaw- nee-Mission, Lincoln, Sumner, East, and Van Horn. Westport's band under the direc- tion of Mr. George Keenan was preceded by eight Westport girls wearing pep club uniforms which had Westport spelled out on the sweaters. The eight girls were: Phyllis Mallin, Shirley Hand, Sue Lee, Jane Gooch, Mary Nichols, Bet- ty McNaughton, Merry Krause, and Donna Dodds. The parade route had to be lengthened at -the last minute to ac- commodate all the spectators lining the streets.

The party was planned by Connie Melton, Geral- dine Christy, and Sandra Green. Miss Bybee's afternoon class has started a reading club and they are keeping 'track of their progress.

Royal Hits City Excitement, gray colors, 10 gal- lon hats, and cowboy boots seem- ed to be Kansas City's theme from October 20 to October 28. As you know, the American Royal Live- stock and Horseshow was the cause of all this pageantry. The officials of the American Royal made arrangements for the reporters from the Kansas City public high schools to meet and talk with prominent persons parti- cipating in the Royal activities. This interview was held October 22. Gene Autry, the famous star of screen, TV, and radio, started his career about 29 years ago. He was started in the movies by the great Will Rogers. In Mr. Autry's opin- ion, Rock 'n Roll music will not last. He believes it will be the standard ballad with words you can understand, that will last through the years. His horse, Champion, who is now about 18 years old, will soon be replaced by Champion Junior. It seems quite natural that Gene Autry should have appearing with him at the Royal, Miss Gail Davis, who plays the role of Annie Oakley ontelevision. Mr. Autry was the one who started Miss Davis on the road to stardom, and he is the own- er of the studios that employ Miss Davis. Before her career began, Miss Davis lived in Texas and attended Texas University for 3 years. She told the group that she must practice shooting for 2 to 3 hours each day in order to keep at top perform- ance. Reigning over the entire Royal activities was Miss Mary Jo Smith, queen of the Royal. Miss Smith, 20, comes from Lexington, Miissouri, and attends William Jewell College. At William Jewell, she is majoring in biology. Qualifications for the queen of the Royal include in- telligence as well as beauty. Miss Smith fills both of -them. She adds she is especially happyf- 'tie- cause this is the'-first contest she has ever won. ' The owner of the champion steer of the Royal was a 13-year-old boy named Dennis Freed. Dennis, a 4- 'H club member, comes from Paul- line, Iowa, and is in the eighth lgrade. He assured the students that when you raise at champion steer you can not neglect your studies, because you must keep your grades high in order to be a mem- ber of a 4-H club. T7 Tie Vikes, Lose to Pirates SN EDDEN SCQRES FOR TIGERS The Westport Tigers, playing without Wayde Fredrickson, star quarterback, lost to the Paseo Piraites, 26-7, November 1, at the Southeast field. The Tigers were held scoreless until late in the game when Wray Burris flipped a 14-yard pass to Herb Snedden, who went over for the touchdown. Harry Wharton ran the extra point to finish the Tiger scoring for the evening. The Tigers were successful in stopping the Pirates' full-Jback, Art Davis, a feat the other teams in the Interscholastic league have been unable to accomplish. Bruce Fitch in particular jarred the Pirates' teeth with several hard tackles. Kenny Pollock also played a fine defensive game from his end position. Herb Snedden did the most ground-gaining for the Tigers, not only did he the pull in the pass that resulted in Westport's touch- down but he also ran the ball well from his halfback slot. Freshmen Are Undefeated Westport's freshman football team completed an undefeated season Wednesday, October 31 when they feated Rockhurst 6-0. The game marked the second time this year that the freshmen 'have beaten Rockhurst by that score. The fresh- men Tigers have won six games and tied one, a 6-6 deadlock with Ford Fredrickson and Danny Argentine. Ford Fredrickson and Danny Hudgins are the top ground gainers in the Tiger backfield. Jan Underwood to Bill Bradford is the passing combination that makes yardage for the Tigers. The F redhmen Team's Record Westport 6 ........ ....... R ockhurst C Westport 6 ..........,... .....

Westport came on strong in the first half, as well as the second half. The Tigers had out scored North- east in the first half 7-6. The Vikings completed a 20 yard pass into the end zone to their left end with a precious 1:17 left to go in the fourth quarter. They ran for the extra point which brought the score up to 13-13. This stayed with us to the end. Between Mike Staggs and Herb Snedden, Westport racked up 111 passing yards. This proved to help the Tigers considerably. Herb also ran for both touchdowns, one in the first quarter, and the other, four minutes into the fourth quarter. Augie Ruf opened up both holes for the touchdowns on the T-3. The ball was worked downfield, 43 yards in 9 plays, only to be stopped one foot short of a first down. One of the reasons for this show of power was the excellent work of the line. Wayde Fredrickson was out early in the game with a ankle injury. Bill Henry, Karl Hudson, and Bruce Fitch did a great job in the center of the line, with Kenny Pol- lock proving himself on the end. i i Westport 22 A -'-A-'-sA'A De La Sane 0 Anoiher Westport tackle in the Paseo game.

THE WESTPORT CRIER hr ratpnrt Glrivr V01- 44, NO- 4 KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI December 6, 1956 FALL PLAY DUT TANDING HIT Sets Are Particularly Colorful and Vivid lt's Time For A Change It is too bad that the fine work of the speech and art departments in presenting The Admirable Crich- ton was marred by the unsightly appearance -of the stage curtains. The proscenium is old and worn, and so is the cyclorama, the three tan curta-ins that form the 'backdrop for the s-tag.e These stage curtains have quite a history. No one really knows ex- actly howi old they are. Mr. D. H. Holloway who has been principal at Westport for the past 28 years says the curtains were here when he first came here. In fact, it is possible that these are the first and only curtains that Westport has had. Age has not been kind to our stage -curtains. The proscenium and cyclorama rare both dirty and worn. Although the maroon-colored vel- vety material that the proscenium is made of is dirty, almost worn slick in some places, and has holes and ripped placesg it is the cyclor- ama that has really suffered. The cyolorama is made of Monk's cloth which resembles a high grade of burlap. Their original color is a debatable topic, but at the pres- ent time they are a dirty tan color. The cyclorama is full of torn places and holes most of which are sewn up so as not to look too offensive. It is inspiring to know that the cyolorama was once cleaned. After it was cleaned, it had to be fire proofed. The result was that during a hot summer some of the material used for fire proofing ran to the bottom of the curtains. This ac- counts for the weird coloration near the bottom. All in all it can be said that our auditorium stage 'puts up a very shabby and unappealing front. The auditorium is an imwportant part of our school life. Honor as- semblies, football and basketball as- CContinued on Page 57 Business Hosts to Seniors The seniors of Westport were giv- en the privilege of visiting various businesses throughout the Kansas City area on Business Education Day, November 15. A few of the many places visited were the Seven-up Bottling Com- pany, Spencer Chemical Company, Staley Milling Co., TV Guide, Platte Pipeline, Muehlebach Hotel, Wool- worth's, First Federal Savings and Loan, City Hall, Pepsi-Cola, Socony Mobil Oil, and Stine and McClure Funeral Home. The day included various lectures on how the business is run, the cost to run the business, the sales, the production, the pay, and the em- ployees. Films also were shown on how and when the business first started. Excursions through the buildings were also given. Many of the students were given aptitude tests showing them what interests and ideas they were in- clined to like. Lunch was given at the expense of the companies. The students ate everything from hamburgers to steak. At the end of the day each stu- dent 'was given a souvenir or gift by the company. Westport students enjoyed them- selves tremendously. Orchestra Entertains at Play Mr. Keenan and the Westport orchestra entertained the audience at the fall play, The Admirable Crichton. The selections played were of the type of music played during the turn of the century when the play was first produced. The orchestra started playing at 8 o'clock and 'played until the play began at 8:30 p.m. The orchestra also played selections during the three periods between the four acts. Stevinin Has Title Role Two very appreciative audiences received the performance of the fall play, The Admirable Crichton, on Friday, November 30 and Sat- urday, December 1 in our school auditorium. Fine acting and staging combin- ed with beautiful scenery, cos- tumes, and lighting made Sir James M. Barrie's hilarious yet touching fantasy come to life on Westport's stage. Tom Stevinin was seen in the title role of Crichton, the perfect but- ler. Maryibeth True played the part of Lady Mary, the object of the affections of both Crichton and Lord Brockelhurst, played by Larry Seale. Lord Brockelhurst's m-other, the Countess of Brockelhurst, was played by Barbara West. Mike Welch portrayed Lord Loam, the pompous employer of 'Crichton and the father of Ladies Mary, Agatha, CHeather Johnsonj and Catherine CJudy Wohltmanb. Ernest, the life of any party, was very ably por- trayed by Al Guilford. Hannah Tague was a maid, Tweeny , jilted by Crichton. Ed Vogel played the iRev. John Treherne. Including the servants found in the home of Lord Loam, the play cast had 26 West- porters. As staged and directed by Miss Cecile Burton, the production did justice to Mr. Barrie's fine play. This was the third play Miss Bur- ton has directed at Westport and was certainly the funniest and the best. Just the scenery and art work, which was under the direction of Miss Beck, were well worth the price of a ticket. The first and fourth acts were in the drawing-room of the Earl of Loam's house. The costumes worn in these acts were of the late l800's.

Gasselman Leads Herald taff The Herald staff, along with the Crier staff, was selected at the be- ginning of the school year. The Herald staff consists of seven girls and three iboys. During the past years the Herald staff has worked 'hard to produce an outstanding Herald for the stu- dents of Westport. This year they are preparing a Herald which will be even better than those of the past. The Herald staff has many jobs, one of which is planning the layout for each page. Therefore, each member of the staff is given pages to plan for which they are respon- sible. One problem is the photo- graphy. It is necessary to have hundreds of pictures taken. Fin- ancing and getting the yearbook out on time will be two of the biggest problems. Oscar Casselman is editor of the Herald staff for '57. His duties are to assign the staff their pages, see that they have them in on time, and assist the rest of the staff. He also is responsible for the music departments pages in the yearbook. His able assistant editor is Terry Ann Murphy, who is also respon- sible for the literary societies' pages. Eugene Pond is the photographer for the Herald and 'also is respons- ible for the Herald staff's pictures. Mary Hamilton is responsible for the articles on the senior class which include officers, pictures, senior ballot and activities. Jerry Gay will cover all sports activities. These include football, basketball, track, coaches, and man- agers. The underclassmen pages, which include the juniors, sophomores, freshmen and eighth graders, will be prepared by Nancy Conklin.

Therc were 30 mein- lbers there and a wakeful time was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The new members were the honored guests, and they were initiated dur- ing the wee small hours of the morning. Christmas cards are being sold by the Delphians this year, so if any- one needs a supply of beautiful -Christmas cards, please see one of the members. On days when Westport has a game, we see students with badges on that say Yea Team or some other appropriate slogan, These badges are made by a committee of the Pep Club and can be obtained simply by coming to any of the pep assemblies that are held before school. Stage and Screen was really busy the past month as they prepared for the play. They were in charge fof all the hand props and a stage crew moved and changed the scen- ery lbetween the acts of the play. They did a fine job and really help- cd 'to make the play a success. Speech Arts, under the sponsor- ship of Miss Cecile Burton, is really going places this year. The club, after taking in many fine members :this year, is trying to promote more interest in the field of speech through their programs which in- cluded such things as readings, pan- tomimes, and debates. The club is already looking forward to the an- nual Speech Arts reading and ora- tion contest, which is helfl sa,-cond semester. The Future Teachers of Am-erica club was invited to attend a very interesting meeting at the Missouri State Teachers Meeting held in Kan- sas City last month. They were shown how to lead grade school children in singing. The F.T.A. elected state officers and then were treated to a very nice luncheon. THE WESTPORT CRIER This week's Tiger Twosome, Phyllis Mallin and John Rui' We Nominate Will the meeting please come to order? This is a frequent saying of this issue's Tiger Twosome. Both are the president of their literary society and are popular students. They are kept very busy with their many activities. Aside from being president of Pundit, Phyllis Mallin is a var- sity cheerleader for her second year. Phyllis has been vice-president of Spanish Club and secretary of the Future Teachers of America. She is on the Herald staff and is now working with the others planning the pages for the yearbook. Her other activities include working in the -office second hour and being a member of Pep Club. She also holds a silver pin in the Honor So- ciety. Her favorite subject is English, and her favorite food is her moth- er's fried chicken. Phyllis is now planning to attend Central Missouri State College at Warrensburg where she will major in elementary edu- cation. The masculine member of our twosome is John Ruf, President of Wilson Literary Society. He is the editor of the Crier and is kept very busy trying to get staff members to tuirn in their stories on time. John has been 'treasurer of Wilson and holds a silver pin in the Honor So- ciety. He likes sports and some- how finds time to spend an occa- sional week-end hunting. DECEMBER S, 1956 LNWETUREPIBSBM 95lD0fl His favorite foods are shrimp and pork chops, and his favorite sub- jects in schocl are mathematics and science. John would like to go into the field of chemical engineering, and has applied fs-1' an appointment to Annapolis. If these plans are not carried through, he will prob- ably attend Junior college across the street. Football Assembly Eleld This year at the end of the foot- ball season for Westport the schocl had an assembly to honor the boys who honored themselves on the playing field. Usually these honors are present- ed at a special party, including the parents of the players. It was changed this year to enable the school, as well as the parents, to enjoy the presentation of these hard earned and much welcomed honors. Top honors were taken by Bruce Fitch, who was elected cap- tain of the team and lettered as both linebacker and center. Coach Keith presented these. hon- ors and wished the future varsity in a few years would resemble the great Oklahoma Sooners. Bruce Fitch, representing the Tiger team, presented to Mr. D. H. Holloway a silver platter and to Mr. Sam Keith an engraved inden- tificaticn bracelet. Parents Visit Westport Open house for 1956 was held Tuesday night, November 20, at Westport. The evening's program consisted of songs by the Westport A Cappella Choir, a teaser for the fall play by the cast of the Admir- able Crichton, and a skit that had been planned for the bond election by the first hour public speaking class. David Crooks introduced the numbers. Mr. John Klepinger's eighth grade classes served punch and cookies to the open house guests, They bought the refreshments with money raised from a white -elephant sale. In the physics department Mr. Tillinghast had several demonstra- tions, projects of the students were shown in the industrial art classes. STUDENT MAYOR AND OFFICERS TO BE ELECTED This year High School Day in City Hall will be held April 18, 1957. It is sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. One hundred students from elev- en high schools will serve in key positions of the city government. The students are selected somewhat like the city officials are selected. The number of offices to be held by students depends upon the enroll- ment of grades 10, ll, and 12. The All-City Student Council se- lects 3 from the 10 nominees to run for the office of Mayor and Judges of the Municipal Court. On Febr. 7, 1957, students in grades 10, ll, and 12 will vote for the candidates of their choice. Westport's enrollment from those three grades is 906. Therefore, on February 8, 1957, fifteen names will be sent in as applicants for appoint- ments for offices. Nine students from Westport will be selected to h-old offices. Police Of Westport The monitors for this year were choosen by Mr. Dice at the begin- ning of the year. The job of moni- toring is an important one as well as helpful. Some monitors are placed at each entrance of the school to check all incoming and outgoing students to make sure they have a pass. Other monitors are placed in the cafeteria to keep the lunch lines in order. The monitors for this year are as follows: Carol Shibley, Dona Kiefer, Mary K. Hamarstrom, Monetia Stevens, Simon, Sandra Williams, Susan Linda Adams, Carolyn Balgot, Linda Nicks, Finn, Linda Nighswonger, Mickey Ilene O'Hara, Jane Pollock, Carolyn McCandless, Nancy Stan- ley, Lyla Snodgrass, Frances Smith, Joyce Koch, Jim Herbertson, Don- ald Smith, Jon Howell, David lzzard, Tom Seaway, Bill Miller, Fred Lohrengel, Bob Becker, John Poinler, Don Philgreen, Tom Stevinin, Bob Brewer, Bill Koch, Bill Gallup, Charles Bunnell, Luther Hale, James Seibert, Bob Dieselhoff, Ernest Taylor, James Arnold, and Jay Halsey. Two new cars have been donated to the drivers education depart- ment. The Chevrolet in the top picture was donated by Sight Brothers. The Plymouth was donated by the Toedman Cab Company. Drivers Ed. Receives New Cars During the first of November, Westport driver's education de- partment received two brand new 1957 'model cars with dual controls for the use of the classes. The Sight Brothers Motor Com- pany presented Westport with a 1957 2l0 Chevrolet. This two- tone blue Chevrolet is a four door model and is equipped with an auto- matic transmission. This automatic transmission will prove a pleasure to -the students learning to drive und-er the direction of Mr. Ralph Patterson. The other car, a 1957 Plymouth Savoy, was given to Westport by Toedman Cab Co. This car is a black four door model and has a standard -transmission. This car will be used by Mr. Claude Baker's classes. These gifts are part of a plan of automobile manufacturers to stim- ula-te interest in high school driving courses.

This year's fund is S1000 which is used according to financial need. The winner of this award is expected to study for four years in liberal arts. All applications and the interview should be completed by February 1, 1957. Kansas City Junior College pro- vides an excellent quality of college work at a minimum of cost to th-e student. Two years at J. C. costs approximately S100 a year, with an opportunity for a part-time job. Over 200 courses are offered in the general Arts and Sciences, in- cluding pre-professional training. As a rule, the classes are small, allowing for individual help. The library and laboratories are of the highest quality. Kansas City, Missouri, J.C. is a member of the North Central Asso- ciation with credits transferable to other colleges. THE WESTPORT CRIER Choose Football Queen The third annual football queen was crowned November 24, at the Football Tiger Den. The Westport varsity nominated and elected the queen and her two attendants. The queen for this year is Mary Ann Hamilton and the attendants are Jane Gooch and Shirley Loyd. As they were announced, the attendants came forward with their escorts, Dick Kiehl and Jerry By- beeg and they were presented with yellow chrysanthemums. The queen was escorted to her throne by Bruce Fitch and was presented with two dozen red roses. She was crowned by Bruce Fitch. The gym was decorated with paper footballs with the name of each football player on them. Each player was presented with a little football with his name painted on it. lt's Time For A Change fContinued from Page 13 semblies, school plays, musical pro- ductions, P.T.A. meetings, and a number of other type of meetings and assemblies take place in the auditorium. Thus, our auditorium should pre- sent a nice appearance. In its pres- ent state the stage not only leaves a bad impression with the students, but also with 'people who visit here for public occasions. Those wh-o appreciate the true meaning of Westport and who want to be proud of her can only be ashamed of the present appearance of our aditorium. Isn't it time for a change? This is the first in a series of ar- ticles which we hope will stimulate interest in obtaining new curtains. Eight Westporters Become Eagle Scouts In the Music Hall of Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium, 316 young men became Eagle Scouts on Sun- day, October 28. Of these, eight re- presented Westport. These eight Eagle Scouts, Don Brockman, Will- iam Williams, Michael A. Miller, Kenneth A. Poush, Larry D. Hol- land, Richard Rose, W. H. Pike, and Daniel Sestak, worked for a con- siderable time ito get this reward. DECEMBER 6, 1956 ' Under the lilncl-i y Overheard in cafeteria: That test was marked so strictly that they took off points for having periods upside down. One of the girls in study hall says her boy friend is so shy that his knees knock when she kisses him. This creates a smack-rattle sound which wethink she ought to record and sell as a rock and roll record. With the money she'd make she could afford a better boy- friend. The rumors about Elvis being drafted brought this thought into our minds: The way he hops, shakes and wriggles around, he'll make a hard target to hit. Just the other night we saw an ad on television for a ladies' razor. Trouble is there aren't enough bearded ladies. Since the era of the cowboy with Shiny six guns is dying out slowly, we were wondering if in the future the kiddies would be watching movies about our hero Melvin with the Shiny Switchblade. Benefit Dance For Football Equipment A student benefit dance was held November 3, in the girls' gym, The donations of 50'c a student were contributed to a fund that will buy a motion picture camera for the athletic departments. Music for the dance was provid- ed by Jim Brooks and his band composed of five other memlbers, Phil Myles, Jerry Maxwell, Art Herman, Charles Cook, and Marilyn Almsberger. In order to stimulate interest in the affair door prizes were donated by various merchants in this area. The total of 15 prizes including a wrist watch, camera, haircut, hose, ballpoint pens, and candy. Proceeds from the dance reached only a total of about 5160. This amount is less than one-half the cost of a motion picture camera. In order to raise the full amount need- ed for this project other events are being planned.

Q Commerce Department Receives Equipment Junior College transferred to Westport High School two dicta- phone transcribing units, one dic- tating unit, and one shaving' unit. With these, the business education department now has five trans- cribing units and three dictating units. These are being used by the office practice classes and by other students during their study hours. So far 13 students have had some practice on these machines using their own free time. To be employed as a dictaphone operator, the typist should -be able to transcribe 125 lines per hour. CContinued from Page 23 table of contents, faculty page, and Tiger Den pages for the yearbook.

DECEMBER 6. 1956 Red Cross Prepares Gift Boxes As the first of the three major Junior Red Cross activities of the year, the home rooms of Westport prepared fifty educational gift boxes for children in foreign coun- tries. These boxes contain pencils, cray- ons, comapasses, protractors, small toys, dolls, handkerchiefs, combs, marbles, inexpensive bracelets, beads, sewing kits, and scarves. Pencil cases of vividly-colored 'felt were made by the sewing classes of Miss Durborow and Mrs. Brody. Letter enclosures are placed in each box indicating the kind of class, name of school and teacher. Each year many -heart-warming re- plies are received from the recipi- ents of these boxes. Last year most of the letters came from Palestine. This year, so far, there have been six from Greece. These were translated by the mother and grandmother of Nick Theoh-aris. The children wrote thanking Westporters for the gifts and tell- ing wha-t a w-onderful country America is. They 'have been learn- ing about America in their schools. Several rooms deserve extra praise for filling two boxes: 213, 312, and 208. These gift boxes were kept on display in room 211 until after open house in -order that many parents might see the fine work of West- port students in this activity. Stevinin Has Title Role tContinued from Page D The stage for the second act was decorated to represent a wild tro- pical island. The actors were in various bedraggeled costumes be- cause in the story they had just been shipwrecked. The third act showed the island after the cast-aways had been there for about two years. The costumes were particulary good in this act. Everyone was dressed in animal skins and other materials which would be found on an island. During the curtain call the cast presented a beautiful corsage to Miss Cecile Burton in appreciation of all her help. We Give Thanks In order to celebrate the Thanks- giving holidays, school was dismiss- ed Thursday and Friday. The sec- ond frofm the last Thursday of No- vember has been set aside every year that we might give thanks to God for the many blessing He has bestowed upon us during the last year. Many of the students and teachers visited relatives and friends in oth- er cities, while others spent quiet, peaceful days at home. Members of the piay cast spent all day Friday of their vacation re- hearsing for the fall play, pre- sented November 30 and Decem- ber 1. Terry Ann Murphy, a sen- ior at Westport, accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Fred Miller and their children to Amarillo, Texas, for the holidays. They visited Mr. and Mrs. Miller's son, Fred, wh-o is stationed there in the Air Force. Former Westporters loin Torch and' Scroll Among the 14 students initiated into 'the Torch and Scroll during the evening of Novemfber 9 at Haag Hall were Lothar Krause and Bev- erly Goodbrake of Westport's class of '53.

These four, Dick Kiehl, Dick Hines, Rioy Klein and John Cowdrey have worked hard this fall rendering every service possible to the Tigers before, during and after the games. The main responsibility of the managers is taking care of uni- forms. These must be washed and kept in top shape if the Tigers are -to play at their best. Besides these unenviable duties the managers often assist coach Keith along the sidelines as they watch for 'holes in the opposition's defense that are vulnerable to a Tiger attack. Westport Tripped By Indians, 26-6 The Tigers wound up the Inter- -scholastic League season November 8 when they lost to Southwest, 26- 6, on the Southeast field. The Westport line played a fine game, especially noteworthy was the performances of Bill Henry, Augie Ruf, Carl Hudson, and Bruce Fitch. Wayde Fredrickson returned to ac-tion after being sidelined by an injured ankle. Mike Staggs also saw limited duty. Mike was fresh off the injury list also. Harry Wharton grabbed an In- dian kickoff, early in the third quarter, and rambled 78 yards to the Indian 10 before being hauled down by the last Indian b-etween him and the goal line. Harry's run produced more yardage than any other single effort. Augie Ruf threw one beautiful block which really knocked the w-ar paint off of a would-be In- dian -tackler.

East led 'almost all the way in the first half, sometimes by as much as eight points. The Tigers poured it on in the second half and quickly era-sed the d-eficit. It was a see-saw battle for the rest of the half, ending in a tie. The game- clinching tally came in an overtime period. Wayde Fredrickson was the man who was mainly respon- sible for the Tiger surge in the sec- ond half. Wayde netted 16 points in all to take scoring honors for the Tigers. Kenny Ross and Roland Tucker scored,10 points each. Wayde also contributed some fine defensive play as he continually harrassed the opposition into mak- ing mistakes. I , The Tiger B team ran over the East team 60-42. - Four Bengals Receive Honorable Mention Despite a lack-lustre year in the victory column the Tigers have been honored by having five of their players named to the Inter- scholastic all-star teams. Wayde Fredrickson 'won a berth on the second team. Wayde is the fine halfback who has been a triple threat in the Tiger backfield. Many of the coaches who gave their opin- ions about who should be on the all- star teams said Wayde probably would have been entitled to a first team position had the played every game. Wayde has been hampered by injuries much of the season. Bruce Fitch, Vance Morris and Kenny Pollock were the linemen who received honorable mention. It was the line in particular which drew comments from the league coaches. They described the Tigers 'as the hardest-hitting squad in the league. Herb Snedden also received hon- orable mention. Herb was in the Tiger backfield. He was one of the most con- sistent ground-gainers for the Tig- ers. Unfortunately all of the five all- stars are seniors and will gradu- ate this spring. We expect to see 'Westport well-represented on next years all-star sl-ections. Particu- larly bright are the prospects of 'Mike Staggs, Larry Holland, Karl Hudson, Andy San-dquist and 'Ray Burris. These ffive will be joined by many boys now gaining experience on the second and freshmen teams to make next year's Tiger team one of the best in re- cent years. FINAL ' LEAGUE STANDINGS W L T P Op.

Holloway January 4, at 9:00 A. M. the stu- dent Council presented an assembly honoring our retiring principal, Mr. D. H. Holloway. The chairman of the assembly was Mr. King. As he pointed out, the chairman of as- semblies usually is a student but this occasion was great enough to warrant a teacher. The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. George Keenan, played several numbers, the most notable was a medley of Stephen Foster melodies. Mr. Holloway particularly enjoys the works of Foster. Toasts were given to Mr. Hollo- way by each of the class presidenzts. Peggy Osterstrom, representing the freshmeng Mike Staggs, the sopho- mores, Don Hughes, the juniors, and Wayde Frederickson, the seniors. Talks were given by alumni telling of what Mr. Holloway has done for Westport in different periods. Mr. David Skeer told of 1930's, Mr. Kenneth Bigus recalled the influence of Mr. Holloway in the 1940's and Waymon Elledge Spoke of the 1950's. A tape record- CCon1tinued on Page 77 Mr. D. H. Holloway, principal of Westport High School, will retire from his position on January 25 af- ter 28 years of service to Westport. Although he does not wish to re- tire, it is compulsory at 70. He will be suceeded by Dr. R. A. Ball, As- sistant Dean of Junior College. Aiiter retirement, Mr. Holloway plans to go 'to Vero Beach, Florida where they have three lots of land. Although he has no particular plans, he will build a house of some type on one of the lots and perhaps rent Westport Acquires New Principal The Kansas City Board of Educa- tion recently appoimted a new prin- cipal for Westport high school to succeed Mr. D. H. Holloway who will retire at the end of the semes- The new principal will be ter. Dr. Richard A. Ball who has been assistant dean and director of the admissions at Junior College since 1946. Dr. H. A. Ball Dr. Ball was born on a farm in Pike County, Missouri, and attend- ed a one room school rthrough the eighth grade. His transportation to high school was via horseback. Dr. Ball received his bache1or's de- CContinued on Page 53 the other two. As Mr. Holloway himself said, I will probably clear out underbrush and cut trees on the lots, as he did last summer when he was down there. Not to be overlooked is the ocean which is nearby. lt will afford chances for swimming, boating, and deep-sea fishing, As would be expected from his 50 years in education, Mr. Holloway hopes to help in the schools there and perhaps do a little part time teaching in the fields of mathema- tics and social studies. Mr. Holloway was born on a Grundy County farm in Northern Missouri. At the age of ten he moved to Southern Missouri where the educational facilities weren't as good as in the north. As Mr. Hollo- WHY recalls it, -the conditions were poorer and school only lasted three months a year. What little material that was available for study was memorized 'because of its relative value. He can still recite poetry he learned at these schools. Because of his desire to learn and the shortness of the school year, Mr. Holloway was allowed to attend a school in the adjoining school district. Aiiter attending the rural schools he entered the Old Stanbury normal school at the age of 17. When he was through with his training there, he taught at a rural school in Doug- las County for four years. The following two years he was the principal of a two room school in Helena, Missouri. When he graduated from the Teacher's College alt Warrensburg in 1912, he became the superinten- dent of schools in Maysville, Mis- souri for three years. While he was there, he stayed at the home of Mrs. G V. Bourette's parents. He next enrolled in the Univer- sity of Missouri where he acquired CConltinued on Page 79 True Reaches Final One of Three Finalists Sometime during the second week in December, each of the ten public high schools of Kansas City elect- ed a Mayor for a Day candidat. Chosen as Westport's candidate was Marybeth True, a senior. Each of the schools sent their candidate to a meeting of the All-City Student Council All ten of the candidates gave a three minute speech explain- ing their platforms. The council then voted and the three chosen were Marybeth True, Westport, Ernest Adleman, Southeast, and Marvin Brenner, Southwest. This is the first time in several years that West- port has had a candidate among the top three. Marybeih True These three will be in an assemb- ly at each school. Their student campaign manager will introduce them in a three minute speech and then they will present their plat- form in a 5 minute speech. The students will cast their ballot for :their favorite.

Brads Visit Westport Westport held its sixty-fourth an- nual homecoming assembly Friday, December 21, 1956 It has been Westport's custom to have homecoming the day preceding the Christmas holidays so that more alumni can attend. Wayde Fredrickson, senior class president, welcomed the guests and students to the assembly. The master of ceremonies was Waymon Elledge, president of the class of '56. Following Waymon's introductory speech, the Roll Call of classes was held. The alumni in- troduced themselves as their class was called. Responses were given by a few alumni. Keytha Sharp, Lillian Bow- ser, Gary Teegarden, and Harry Jenks, Jr., were a few. Harry Jenks, Jr., class of '36, played several selections on the piano.

Winners of N.O.M.A. Spelling Certificates All typing, shorthand, and office practice students that were present on December 18 took the N.O.M.A. International Spelling Test. This was a test of 100 words selected from a list of 300 words fthat the students could study before test day. Westport is very proud to have 19 students that will receive certi- ficates for spelling all of the 100 words. There are 17 that missed just one word, and 73 missed five or less words. A committee of 17 N.O.M.A. mem- bers made up the list of words, and then selected the 100 words for the official test. This committee is of international scope, having mem- bers from London, Mexico, Canada, and scattered over the United States. One member is R M. Snider, Regio- nal Office Manager of United Paci- fic Insurance Company, Kansas City, Missouri. The four most frequently missed words were: indispensable, inex- haustible, indestructible and stimu- lus. There will be two more in the series of this test. The following students will re- ceive certificates for the first test: Carol Bassett Kathleen Brown Ella Lou Chinn Denise Dumas Claudine Elliott Katie Fauble Carol Funk Linda Griesel John Hoyle Joyce Johnson Pat Lumary Judy Madison Carol Nicholson Agnes Novak Susan Shibley Lyla Snodgrass Joyce Tobin Pat Wiggins Karen Woods Westport Well Represented In junior Achievement Junior Achievement of Greater Kansas City meets four nights a week at the offices of 32 business corporations.

Senior, Whitney Franklin: One morning in the front hall a certain senior boy, not only embarrassed himself but me too, when his pants came off. Junior, Jane Pollock: 'tln first grade I had to model in a Mutual Help Fashion Show My mother made a dress for me to model and along with it a pair of panties! I was to wear them and flip up my dress tailg instead, I carried them on a hanger! Sophomore, Mike Staggs: In the Paseo game I was dropping back to cover a pass and I tripped over my own feet and the guy caught the pass for a touchdown. Freshman, Sandy Thurman: The last day before the Christmas vaca- tion rthere was a certain senior boy in the hall with some mistletoe. I told a girl friend of mine thalt I wish he would come over and see me. He did, and that taught me to keep my mouth shut and not 'to get mdxed up with senior boys. Eighth Grade: It is embarrassing enough to be an eighth grader! CHRISTMAS STOCKING Forty-four beautiful Christmas gift stockings for veterans in near- by hospitals were turned over to the Junior Red Cross headquarters, December 11. Monday, December 17, Ron Phil- green, Westpor1t's executive leader of the all-city Junior Red Cross council, with Tom Stevenin and Marybeth True, went to the Wadsworth Hospital with Mrs. Rob- erts, director of Junior Red Cross activities.

It has been related that because of nthe holiness of his body, the Mi- kado of Japan would never cut his nails or hair. So that's what's got- ten into the boys with ducktails! Many women are like the Venus de Milo. They are old and have no teeth. Have you ever wondered about the dentist who sticks his fingers into your mouth and then starts a conversation? The German nobility once prided themselves upon the scars they had as a result of dueling. We were wondering if we should show off the scars we got from the lasit switchblade fight? the con- Not to be outdone by temporary poets we have produced an old manuscript of ours called Mother Goose's Nursery Rhymes for Old Men and Young Dogs. Here are a few excerpts from it: I Hey diddle diddle! The cat and the fiddle. The cow got pickled and fell off the moon, The dog burped to see such sport, And the dish passed out on the spoon. II Ride a cockroach to Banbury cross To see a fair lady upon a white horse. Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes She makes a devil of a noise wher- ever she goes. III Now Jack be numb Now Jack be sick For Jack got burned on his candle- stick. IV Sing a song of sixpence, A pocket full of Grandma's lye, You'll be losing your shirts bye and bye. V When I was a little girl I took care of Mammy's hen. Now I'm a big girl and flirt with Westpor1t's men, Young man: I learned a new game Sweet thing: Oh really. How do you play it? Young man: Turn out the lights and I'll show you. On this note we leave you, you lucky dog. Hi-Gang! Did you all have a cool yule and a frantic first? Say ,who was the Westport girl who got hold of the roach killer instead of the furniture polish and de-bugged the house against bugs? It seems Westport has a lot of guys and gals of Westport have gotten themselves hooked. The following is dedicated to them: He calls me every night And dates me every week, He lets me wear his ring, He dances cheek-to-cheek, But are we going steady? I only have these clues- I can't believe it till It's in the CRIER news!

Well you might think you do Cthe day does seem longj bwt the custodians spend more time than anybody else. There is hardly a time of day when there isn't at least one custodian in the building. These custodians work eight hours a day, with one working Saturday and a pair working 12 hours on Sun- day. Under the direction of C. F. Bar- nett, the head custodian go about sweeping the floors, cleaning rooms, emptying wastepaper baskets, wash- ing windows and doing numerous things to keep the school in good condition. The standard equipment for cus- todians is the oil mop and fthe push broom. Last year the custodians wore out 24 of these oil mops and eight push brooms cleaning the halls of Westport. Also used in keeping the school clean are 100 gallons of liquid and 100 pounds of powdered soap. Every day you use paper towels at Westport. Know how many are used in a year? Only about 60 cases. In a case of 'towels there are 25 packages of towels and in a pack- age of towels there are 150 towels. And there's always light bulbs and fuses. Westport uses between 24 and 36 fuses a year. As a light bullb goes, it generally burns out leaving you in the dark. In an ef- fort to keep us out of the dark tif it's possiblej 200 150 watt light bulbs are used per year. You've all used Cor will usej the nine by 12 inch sheets of paper that teacher sometimes passes out for tests and fun things like that. About 35 cases of this paper is used. There's 5000 sheets of paper in a case so we multiply 35 by 5000. Let's see-uh 35 times five thousand is uh, well-well that sure is a lot isn't it? The most staggering figures is the amount of oil burned in the furnaces Come on, guess how much! Oh, try! You didn't try very hard but I guess I'll tell you. In order to keep the building at a temperature of 74 degrees fahrenheit so our pinkies won't get cold, 99,000 gal- lons of fuel oil are burned in one year. Did you ever wonder what hap- pens 'to the trash? To the sawdust in woodshop? To the scrap metal in metal shop? Well neither did I, but stick with us and you'll find out. The sawdust and paper and that sort of trash is burned in the incinera- tor! Thrilling isn't it? The ashes from this and the metal scrap is thrown out back where it is collect- ed twice a year by the newswriting class-I mean the trash haulers, pardon me fellas. Westport Acquires New Principal tContinued from Page lj gree from Central Missouri State College and his master's and doc- tor of education degree from the University of Missouri.

Glee Club Honored Candid shots of the Gir1's Glcc Club were taken on the afternoon of Tuesday, December 18 by Mr. Chet Mazza, photographer for the Board of Educaltion, Audio-Visual Department. He chose the West- port Glee Club as a subject for his pictures because they have been chosen as one of the two groups from the state of Missouri to sing for the Southwestern Music Educa- tor's National Conference in Den- ver, Colorado in March. These pic- tures will be submitted to Mr. Wil- liam Sur, head of the Music Edu- cator's National Conference and may appear in a pamphlet pertain- ing to high school music.

When he regained his health, Mr. Holloway went to Camp Dodge near the end of the war and was commissioned a first lieutenant. After the War, in 1919, Mr. Hollo- way married a former classmate, Virginia Warren. A return to Central High for five years followed dismissal from the service. In 1923 Mr. Holloway went to Boise, Idaho to be the principal of the Boise High School. This was a very unique school as ilt had its own broadcasting station and possessed a well stocked farm. Nineteen twenty-nine marked the Thoughts of '57 A couple of weeks ago we joyous- ly welcomed the bran-spanking new year of 1957! Everyone had great lists of grand and glorious New Year's Resolutions, including such staggering ones as I will always have my homework done and in on time , and I will keep my locker clean , and even I will treat my teachers as though they were peo- ple! These things and many more we honestly thought we might, this year, keep them. But where are our resolutions now? Everyone has either already broken them, is in the process of breaking them, or is planning to do so in the near future. Maybe the reason they fail is be- cause we think a NEW year means a NEW year, when honestly there is nothing NEW about it. It's simply a way of marking time. There's no magic in the year simply because it's JANUARY 17, 1957 new. To make the year NEW we have to begin with ourselves. Yes, we still have the same old brains, limbs and, God bless us, faces, it's what we do with them that makes them new. For some of us a smile on the old puss would be such a novelty some of our friends might faint. And then, most of us, have perfect brains! Cwe know this be- cause having never been used, our brains are bound to be perfectj Maybe we ought to get them out and dust out the cobwebs and startle fthe teachers by actually using them! But on second thought, maybe we shouldn't try anything so drastic. If we were to each resolve simply to be a little nicer 'to be around land I don't mean scrub with Lifebuoyb by being nicer to those around us, Westport would be even closer to Utopia than she is now. yearwhen Mr. Holloway returned to Kansas City to be principal of the high school that boasts more Rhodes scholarship students than any other in the United States Although he has never been mistreated at any school, Mr. Holloway reports that he has never seen any school that has such a friendly student group as Westporlt. The Why of this he has never been able to determine, but he has always appreciated it as the students have appreciated him. Eighth Graders Take Trips As one could easily guess, all the Eighth grade classes held Christmas parties. Particularly notable was Mrs. Sandra Kauffman's She had an uniqely decorated room with a Christmas tree made from Christmas cards. Miss Bessie Cannon's classes took a trip to Abilene, Kansas rto visit the Eisenhower Museum. According to all who attended, they had a wonderful trip and wished they could have stayed longer. All the Eighth grade music classes presented a Christmas music as- sembly. Miss Marian Downing was the sponsor and Bruce Montrose was the Master of Ceremonies. Miss Cecile Baird's morning com- mon learnings class wrote and put on a play. This was presented be- fore the audience of Mrs. Hawkins' morning common learnings class. Some of the classes have elected class officers. They are as follows: Miss Bybee's morning class: Pres -Eddie Barrash, Vice-Pres.-Ken Smith, Sec.-Cathy Porter, Treas.- Shirley Peake, Reporter - Connie Melton. Afternoon class: Pres.- Marianne Malown, Vice-Pres.-Rob- ert Knoth, Sec.-Tom Mendenhall, Treas-Oarlen White. Miss Baird's Afternoon class: Pres.-Carol Kupka, Vice-Pres.- Montrose, Sec.-Richard Treas.-Norma Gosney, Re- Bruce Sharp, porter-Diana Lohoff. -Mrs. Florence Hawkins's common learnings class saw two films, Mark Twain and The Solar System, at the Westport library in December. They also enjoyed a visit to the Nelson Art Gallery to View the Crysler collection. 7 roller skate Westport Victorious In First League Game Ward Wins Close Une The Tigers lost another close ball game December 18 when they dropped a 61-58 decision rto Ward. The Tigers went into the second half with a 35-31 lead but the Cy- clones put on a third quarter drive which helped them build a 50-48 lead at the close of the third period. Kenny Ross tallied 20 points to lead fthe Tigers in scoring. Kenny con- tinued to display a sharp eye from the free throw line as he hit six of his nine shots. Dave Acuff poked in 14 points and added some sharp de- fensive work as he stole the ball from the Cyclones eight times. Tigers Lose In Uvertime Westport played Highland Park in Topeka, Friday, December 14, just to come out the loser by a mere four poirrts which were scored in an overtime. During the first half the Scotties showed excellent skill in handling and shooting. At the be- ginning of the third quarter West- port trailed by six points. The Wesitport men of iron went to work and soon were in the lead. This tremendous drive was sparked by Wayde Fredrickson's long jump shots. Kenny Ross was high-point man with 24 points. f tonight 0 Enjoy a. fun- filled evening where there's music, skates and laughter. A great recrea- tion for all. Pla-Mor Roller Rink 26 W. 31st St. Terr.

Acuff Scores I7 As Tigers Beal' Van Horn The Tigers were off to a light- ning-fast lnterscholastic League start December 20 when they thumped Van Horn, 63-37, on the Falcons, home court. Dave Acuff unveiled a deadly jump shot in the second quarter af- ter going scoreless in the first period. At Least five of the seven field goals Acuff scored were on jump shots. One of these was a beautiful twisting s h o t from about four feeit out. Dave added 'three charity tosses to his seven field goals to take scoring honors with 17 points. The second quarter ended with the Tigers out in front, 31-21. The Tigers were toying with a 10 point lead during the early pant of the second half and then caught fire midway through that period until they had a 15 point lead going into the fourth quarter The Tigers were still pouring it on in the final quarter as they built up a 21 point lead on successive field goals by Tuck-er, Fredrickson and Acuff and two free throws by Acuff. The Falcons scored six more points in the fourth period, all on free throws. The outgunned and outmanned Falcons cou1dn't come up with a field goal in the second half as the Tigers guarded their goal flawlessly. Wray Burris Agave the Tigers a shot in the arm as he de- veloped into a terrific ball-handler and play-maker. Wayde Fredrick- son contributed some sparkling plays in every phase of the game as he played his position brilliantly. The Westport Tigers will play their next Interscholastic League game tomorrow night at South- east against Southwest. THE WESTPORT CRIER hr ratpnrt Glrirr Vol. 41, No. 7 KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI January 31, 1957 A Message to Westport From the Principal, Dr. R. A. Ball l consider it an honor and a privilege to become the principal of Westport High School. Vtlestport has a long and splendid record in the history of Kansas City Public Schools. lt is also an honor to take up the work that has been so well done for many years by the retiring principal, Mr. D. H. Holloway. -His record, both in length of time and in splendid service given, can be equaled by few teachers. l trust that I may merit in some measure the respect and cooperation that Mr. Holloway has had from faculty and students. In my opinion, young people of today have the greatest op- portunities to learn of any pre- vious generation. Also, they have splendid opportunities for jobs and for social and econom- ic advancement. But there is no short cut or easy road to edu- cation-it must be earned by an individual's own efforts. But once earned, it becomes a price- less possession for life. One of the most interesting parts of teaching is the oppor- tunity to work with young peo- ple-to share in their enthusi- asm-to see their growth and de- velopment toward maturity. One of the most rewarding experi- ences of teaching is to see honor and success come to one's form- er students. I am acquainted personally with some of the teachers at Westport and expect to know all of them soon. I should like, also, to become acquainted with as many students as possible. Naturally, I have some regrets about leaving Junior College. My 101fQ years there have been pleasant, and I have had such splendid associates-both teach- ers and students-with whom to work. I believe I shall find a similar situation at Westport and shall look forward with pleasure to my work here as a new and interesting experience. Facts and Figures On Needed Curtains The stage here at Westport, as we have already said, is in as what can be best described by the general term mess Of course, being as old as it is, we really shouldnlt expect it to be in too good a condition. This fact was pointed out by Mr. Moore of the Great Western Stage Equip- ment Co. Mr. Moore came out to see the stage one afternoon about four weeks ago. The purpose of his trip was to make an estimate of how much it would cost to install new curtains on Westport's stage. He made some interesting com- ments abouft the curtains. The first thing he noticed was that the cyclorama runs on a rather rickety wooden track. If new curtains are installed it is imperative that a new track be installed, preferably a svteel track. In lowering the borders, small cur- tains 8 by 35 feet which hang at the top of the stage, we found that two different sizes of rope had been used on them. This makes the ropes hard rto handle as it isn't easy to hold two different sizes of rope without the smaller diameter rope slipping in your hands. The border curtains are hung on nice springy wood beams that bounce CContinued on page 45 Assembly Presented By Seienee Department A liquid air assembly was present- ed by the physics and chemistry de- partments on January 10 in the au- ditorium. Mr. D. H. Miner, high school science supervisorg Mr. Rich- ard Tillinghast, physics iteacherg and Mr. Fred White, chemistry teacher, presented the program. Mr. White started the assembly by explaining that air is a mixture of 7872 nitrogen, 2195 oxygen, .035072 carbon dioxide, and .02492 rare gases. Nitrogen and carbon dioxide are two gases that bacteria, plants, and ani- mals need for their growth. Bacteria, plants and animals also obtain oxygen from the air for respiration or breathing. Liquid air is obtained by a cycle of compression and cooling of air. This forms a pale blue liquid with a boiling point of minus 183 degrees centigrade. This liquid is kept in giant thermos bottles or Defwar flasks. The main use of liquid air is to obtain the gases that are con- tained in air. Because these gases have different boiling points they may be separated. The oxygen ob- tained is used in hospitals and for welding purposes. Nitrogen is used to make ferti- lizers, and the rare gases, argon and neon are used respectively to fill light bulbs and to make electric signs. The density of liquid air was shown by pouring some into a con- tainer. Ice crystals were formed on the outside of the container from the water in fthe air. The low temperature effects of liquid air were further demonstrat- ed by placing some of the liquid in a whistling teakettle and placing CContinued on page 25 CContinued from page D Assembly Presented by Science Department the teakettle on a block of ice. The ice was host compared with the liquid air and the liquid air boiled. Flowers, celery, lettuce, and peas were immersed in the liquid air where they were frozen so hard that they became brittle and easily crushed into tiny pieces. When rub- ber is frozen it becomes hard and breaks easily as was illustrated by rubber tubing and a rubber ball which shattered when struck after being frozen. Mercury, a metal which is liquid at room temperature, was placed in a pill box and frozen with liquid air to form a hammer. This hammer was used to drive a nail into a block of wood. Magnesium ribbon, which burns very readily ,was burned in the pres- ence of liquid air to demonstrate how liquid air speeds up burning. Cigarettes and cigars were also used to show this effect. Since smoking isn't permitted in the school a novel system run by a vacuum pump was used to light the cigar. Liquid air expands in volume 828 times when it boils back to air at room temperature. This expansion was shown by inflating a balloon with the air coming off liquid air in a flask. An attempt was made to run a steam engire with this ex- panding air, but faulty apparatus prevented this. The highlight of the program was provided by corking a flask filled with liquid air and shooting the cork into the audience when the air expanded and forced the cork out of the flask. Ronald Philgreen was the chair- man of the assembly and Wayde Fredrickson, Lester Goodall, Marla Griem, ard Jane Pollock assisted in the experiments.

Philharmonic Drohestra in Need The week of January 20 through January 26 was proclaimed Kansas City Philharmonic Week by MHYOY H. Roe Bartle. The proclamation was an effort to raise money for the Philharmonic Orchestra. Currently, the orchestra has a deficit of 567,000 and it needs S135,000 immediately. The campaign includes letters to business firms and trade associa- tions. Solicitations from individuals are welcomed too. The mayor pointed out that the orchestra is of vast importance to the industrial and civic prestige of Kansas City. It is a mark of recog- nition of the cultural development and maturity of a city if it has a good orchestra such as Kansas City's. Each year, elementary students of the Kansas City area have a chance to go to an afternoon performance. By this method, the children of this area can come in contact with fine music. The orchestra is composed of '78 members and they are under fthe di- rection of Hans Schwieger. THE WESTPORT CBIER Tiger Twusnlne Todays Tiger Twosome is a couple of kids well known and well liked by all. Donna Lee Dodds is a lovely blonde with blue eyes. Her beauty is more than skin-deep, as exampli- fied by her friendliness and kind- ness to all those around her. Her list of activities include treasurer of the Freshman class and treasurer of her Junior class. She is an active member of Promethean Literary Society and has been Parliamentar- ian and Sophomore critic. She was last years dream girl and Queen of Hearts. Donna is also kept very busy as one of Westports peppiest cheerleaders. You can easi- ly see from this list of activities why she was chosen Most Popular on the Senior Ballot.

The freshman twins were born in Isreal, and came to rthis country last year. The boys' father has relatives here and that was lthe main inituitive for their coming. After coming to the United States, they spent a month in New York, rtwo weeks in Chicago, and then in February of last year came to Kansas City and Westport. The schools in Isreal are a lot stricter and the studies harder, according to the boys, for example they studied algebra when they were only 10. The twins speak Hebrew, German, Arabic and English. Business Committee: Jack McCullough Lance Jesse Tom Mendenhall Jim Hershey These students are the leaders of this year's eighth grade classes. They will be the leaders in future years at Westport. The platform of this year's eighth grade officers tends to draw the eighth grade classes closer together. Congratulations go to this fine group of students. Glee Club will Go to Denver The Girl's Glee Club of Westport will sing March 24, 1957 at Denver, Colorado for the Music Educator's Conference. Fifty-one girls of the Glee Club will participate. Acom- panying them will be Mr. and Mrs. Harling Spring and Miss Marilyn Jensen. The girls will sing six selections especially prepared for the confer- ence. More than 32,000 will be needed for the trip. The money will be raised through benefit concerts, sales projects, and special PTA projects. In the meantime, the girls are pre- paring for an appearance on WDAF- TV, February 18. A special concert will be held at Westport on Febru- ary 22. 3 Westport Loses Senior Westport High School lost a quiet -mannered senior to that terrible list of statistics early in January when 18 year old Beverly Scribner died in General Hospital-victim of an automobile collision. Two other Westport seniors were injured in the accident. They are Gerald Buchanan and Carol Bassett, both 17. Carol suffered burns, cuts and bruises about the head and face and was confined to a hospital for more than a week. She is now re- cuperalting at home. Gerald suf- fered bruises and cuts. Bruce Burgess, 19, was seriously injured and for many days was on the critical list. He later was moved to the K. U. Medical center. Bruce formerly attended Rosedale High School in Kansas City, Kansas. The accident occurred on Friday night, January 11, shortly before midnight, at the intersection of Forty-first and Wyoming. The car was driven by Buchanan. Buch- anan's car and another automobile with four teen agers in it were in- volved in the collison. Beverly and Bruce were in the back seat and were thrown out of the car by the impact. Beverly died of her injuries abowt three hours later. The four boys in the other car suffered only minor injuries. In a front page story with Bev- erly's picture--the one that was to have been her graduation picture- the Kansas City Star reported that police officers said 17 year old Ed- Ward Roecker, driver of the other car, was charged with careless driv- ing and operating a vehicle with de- fective brakes. Beverly and Carol were the closest of friends. They both worked as ushers at the Uptown rtheatre and had always double dated. Beverly's funeral was January 14 with services at the Ivanhoe Chris- tian Church, at-tended by many of her schoolmates. There was an abundance of flowers from indivi- duals and groups throughout the school. Burial was in the Green- lawn cemetery. Born in Kansas City, she was the daughter of Mrs. Harry Ross of 3531 Highland avenue. Besides her mother and stepfather, she is sur- vived by two sisters, Sharon Kay Scribner, 13, and Judy Ann Scrib- ner, 10. 4 CContinued from page D Facts and figures on -needed curtains around when you raise or lower them. These wooden beams should be replaced with something more substantial, such as pipe. Here is what Mr. Moore proposes fto install: a cyclorama, rear and side curtains, in four sections, two eight feet deep border curtains, 30 feet of steel track for the side cur- tains, 40 feet of steel track for the back curtains, 70 feet of pipe to hang the borders on, and 200 feet of cord to replace the multisized ropes op- erating one of the borders. The cur- tains can be obtained in a color of grey or beige. The cost is 51170. This price in- cludes delivery. installation, and flame-proofing of the curtains. Can it be cheaper? Yes, for S1045 we can have the job done using a cheaper grade of material for the curtains. We could have all of it done for 900 dollars by using cheap materials. This however, would probably re- sult in more overall cost over the years. After all, we want to do things the Westport Way, that is the Best Way! Diets Cause Problems Is dieting common among the girls at Westport? The answer is an emphatic YES. It seems that this generation is copying their elders. Either you're dieting or you have nothing to talk about at the lunch table. You're just not up with the times. Watch the girls in the lunch line. The chubby ones gorge themselves with candy, potato chips, salads with plenty of rich dressing, ice cream with loads of goo on it, or other high-calorie foods. The pen- cil-slim burdens herself down with a salad without dressing or a bowl of soup. Whalt do the boys think about all the fuss over being too thin, too fat, or too perfect? The girls who gen- erally worry are the girls whom the boys think are just right. Lucky is the boy who dates a girl who minimizes on the food-intake. Pilty the poor wallet of the boy with the girl who tries to gain poundage. It dosn't seem. to faze that tiny package of 100 pounds to tuck away malt after coke after hamburger. Miss Durboraw Retires Miss Ida Estelle Durboraw, one of Westport High School's clothing teachers retired at the end of the first semester this year. She is a graduate of DuPaul Uni- versity in Illinois and taught at Westport Junior Hlgn before com- ing to Westport. She has been on the Westport faculty for 14 years. Mr. D. H. Holloway paid his re- spects rto Miss Durboraw at a dinner that was held in honor of his re- tirement, January 12. The women members of the facul- vty gave Miss Durboraw a luncheon at the home of Mrs. Ella B. Williams, January 24. junior Band Elections Held The eighth grade elections are the biggest news this week. All the common learnings classes are very proud of the candidates from their rooms that ran for an office. Es- pecially proud are those classes whose candidates won an office. Music The new Junior Band officers were recently elected. They are as follows: President, Richard Jenkins, Vice-President, Mike Colemang Sec- retary, Francis Thurman, Treasurer, Lorna Dycheg Sergeant-at-arms, Bette Smithg Librarians, Melvin Burkhart and Ardeana Smith. The Junior Orchestra also elected their new officers. Gary Grantham is President, Joe Meth, Vice-Presi- dent, Jerry Griffith, Secretary, Kur- tis Tull, Treasurerg George Reichel, Sergeant-at-Arms, Sandra Day and Diana Bentley, Librarians. Mr. George Keenan plans to use some of the members of the Junior Band and the Junior Orchestra with the Senior Orchestra in the Spring Concert. New Committees Miss Bybee's common learnings classes are forming committees to present programs based on science, current events, books, and other topics related to class work. Shirley Peake and Kay Seale are planning a current events program for the morning class and Judith Bruce and Ellen Harte are in charge of a current events program for the afternoon class. THE WESTPORT CRIER Tiger Tales We find it very consoling to look up the number of feeble-minded children in the United States every once in a while. Although it's wonderful to have vision and curiosity, peeping through keyholes is an entirely different thing! The way Great Britain keeps changing Prime Ministers around, it mighlt not be too bad of an idea if they would start in changing their foreign policy. This actress that was kidnapped reminds us of the Westporter who's always saying, The teacher failed me. The trouble with cold weather is that you almost freeze running over -to Klee's between classes. We can all find consolation in this: Now that Mr. Holloway's gone, we've got a fresh one to work on. Some teachers feel so sorry for the students that are failing, that they have them transferred to another class. The bad thing about the semester exams is that they proved what everyone else thought. The nice thing about them is that they're over. Cousin Homer advised us not to see Baby Doll! He says that after all you've heard about it it sure is a big let-down. Work Pays Uff The second semester of the school year has now begun. The first semester is over and finished. Now is a good time to take stock of ourselves. Did you do your best work the first semester and receive the just re- ward thast always comes with put- ting forth your best efforts? If that's the case you may stop read- ing at this point for you have noth- ing to worry about. But perhaps you are trying to forget the news you received last week on those little yellow cards. If you are, then you had better find another so- lution, because simply forgetting them will only produce a report card with poorer grades next semes- ter. There is an answer rto the problem, and it lies in that horrible, four-letter word, work. Unfortu- nately, in this day and age there are no more magic lamps with a built-in genie to fulfill your every request. So you must work instead. Before your grades will ever be changed you must decide that you are not satisfied with them and that you will work to raise them. After you have made that decision and stick to it you are well on JANUARY 31. 1957 your way. There is no cut-and- dried formula that will guarantee perfect every time, but there are 21 few things you may follow that will definitely help. 1. Set a goal- one that is not too far above your reach, but one that will make you stretch a little to ob- tain it. 2. Don't be a procrastinator- do your assignments today, not tomor- row. 3. Study in a quiet place-leave the television and radio alone and you will be finished twice as fast, and be twice as well prepared. 4. Study in the same place at the same time-set aside a regular time and place for you to do your home- work each day. 5. Complete each assignment- finish each one before going on to another. These few suggestions are only as good as you want to make them. If you work at them half-heartedly, you will receive half-hearted re- sults. Wishing produces nothing. Only through sincere work will you be able to raise and keep your grades where you want them. We recently read that Picasso smokes an opium pipe. This seems a litltle weak doesn't it? And now we leave you with Wesger's Words of Wisdom: Cogito Ergo Sum. We will be darned if we know what this means, but it sounds impressive doesn't it? Needed-One More Hour Oh, for some extra time! How often you hear this exclamation for something that didn't QUITE GET finished. What would YOU do if you had a 25 hour day? The most often heard answer is- sleep. . Maybe Sally is on the telephone engaged in the usual gossip-fest. One whole hour in which to yak! Most people never seem to have time to write over-due letters. Now the letter received six months ago can be reciprocated. The Reply used the least is prob- ably homework CWhat's that?l Some people would sit down and think of all the different ways to get rich quick so they could take a 'trip about 370 miles away. Then some people would save up all the extra time for a year and then have a long party with the saved up time. Some people would use the extra hour to get all the things done they should have gotten done in the 24 hours. Some replies were that they would spend more time eating. Af- ter all they only get an hour for lunch. Some few odd ones would spend it with their lovers watching T.V.? The senior boys would use the time 'thinking up more devilish pranks to drive Mr. Miles crazy-er. The senior girls would try to think up more ways to catch boys- as though they needed to. And last but not least, all the underclassmen would spend the extra hour 'thinking up more adjec- tives to describe the wonderful class of '57. There aren't that many.

One night last week I stayed to find out. The first thing I saw was an anxious student who had missed Mr. Miles first hour class, running up to Mr. Miles and saying, What did you say this morning sir? Mr. Miles: Nothing Of course, but how did you ex- press it this time? Moving on, I saw an eighth grader seriously reading something, peek- ing over his shoulder, I saw these classic poems: Jack and Jill Went up the hill To fetch a pail of water, Jack fell down And unforunately the Poor fellow was killed ourtright. Humpty Dumpty Sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty Had a great fall All the kings horses And all the kings men, Had eggnog. I then saw one of Mr. Bourrette's human science students rambling toward the front door muttering, A skeleton is a pile of bones with all the people scraped off. I then heard someone say to one of 'their friends: I wish I had my girl friend back. Where is she? , he questioned. I swapped her for a bottle of soda. And you realize how much you loved her? No I'rn thirsty again. The nurse as she was leaving was heard to remark: A dumb girl is a dope, a dope is a drug, doctors give drugs Ito re- lieve paing therefore, a dumb girl is just what the doctor ordered.

For instance in the 1928-29 season, the second year of operation for the league, the Tigers finished in the fourth posi- tion with a three and three record. Mr. Newman was the coach then. How about this for a hot season? The Tigers were off to a slow start, dropping a 20-18 contest to Central. They then lost 'to East, 25-19. The Tigers beat Manual in their next game, 20-18 before losing a high- scoring but rather one-sided, 34-16 game to Northeast. Westport finished the season in grand style, beating Paseo, 22-19, and Southwest 22-20. Talk about a high scoring contest, Westport managed rto edge out Paseo 12-11 back in 1930. The Tigers also dropped an 18-5 decision to Manual that year. Talk about za walloping the Tigers really laid it on East in 1934, 35-8. ' 1 Mettee Stars For Tigers Dave t'The Machetteu Mettee sliced 'thc Southwest Indians down to bite size January 18, as he led the Tigers to a 66-60 victory over the Indians. Dave was spectacular in every phase of the game, He led the scor- ing with 19 points, he hit nine out of twelve free throws, he pulled several ball steals, and was such a hustler ithat the harried Indians could not stop him by any means short of fouling. Whereas Southwest used 10 play- ers-six of them fouled out-Westport used five men of iron until the last 30 seconds when Dave Acuff fouled out. Mettee wasn't actually too far ahead of the rest of the team in any department as all five starters played admirably. Three Tigers be- sides Mettee hit in double figures, Wayde Fredrickson, 16, Dave Acuff, 12, and Kenny Ross, 10. The other Tiger scorer, Dick Cox didr1't miss by much as he scored a very re- spectable nine points, Dean Mitchell was the only other Tiger to get into the game and he came in too late to get on any scoring. Acuff, Ross, and Cox shared rebounding duties for Westport. Ross at one time recovered a rebound even though he had to wrestle three Indians at once before he could claim it. The Tigers played a fine defen- sive game as they stole the ball from Southwest several times. Mettee turned in one particularly fine bit of work as he single handedly broke up a two-on-one fast break late in the third quarter. As usual the Tigers had that sharp eye from the free throw line hitting 36 out of 58 attempts to go over the 605' mark. Southwest scored eight more field goals than the Tigers due mostly to the fact that the Tigers were fouled almost every time they got their hands on the ball. If you think this is an exaggeration just consider that the Tigers were fouled 34 times and the game only lasted 32 minutes. The Indians played the last 23 seconds with only ofur men after all their starters and one sub had been ejected on fouls B i i 1-Iere's two more for Westport. Kenny Ross is the man behind the score in this play as he pushes in a layup against Central. Dick Cox is seen moving in on the play. Tigers Lose Glose Game The Tigers suffered their first In- terscholastic League loss to Central, 38-36 in a game played January 10 at Southeast. Wayde Fredrickson and Dave Acuff led the Tigers in scoring with 12 and 10 points respectively. Wayde almost saved the game for 'Westport But two of his long set shots bare- ly missed being goals. The most de- trimental factor to the Tigers' cause was the stiff zone defense the Eagles employed to keep Westpo1't sharp- shooters away from the basket. The game was even most of the way. Central held a slim 10-9 lead at the end of the first quarter which they widened considerably in a big second stanza. Fredrickson did all the scoring, one field goal and four free throws, for the Tigers in the second period. The Tigers really came to life in the third quarter af- ter trailing 17-22 at the start. Dave Acuff hit a jump shot and Kenny Ross poured in two field goals to give the Tigers a 23-22 lead with 4:29 left in the third quarter. Acuff and Frederickson kept the Tigers alive as Dave hit another jump shot and two free throws to give the Tigers a 27-24 lead, Wayde took it from there ,hitting a free throw and two goals to give the Tigers a 33-32 lead going into the final quarter. It was a question of which team was the least cold in the fourth quarter. Central proved to be that as they outscored the Tigers by three points and won the game by two.

DANA LITERARY SOCIETY chose Well her beauty queen this year by electing Darlene Page. Darlene is known and liked by all students of Westport because of her many gracious ways. From DANA, BROWNING LIT- ERARY SOCIETY chose Judy Spell- man. As anyone can see, Judy is as lovely and charming as they come. Everyone can see why PUNDIT LITERARJY SOCIETY elected Mary Nichols as their beauty queen. She's pretty, petite, and likeable. WILSON LITERARY SOCIETY chose from their sister club, PUN- DIT, Karen Harris, as their beauty queen. Karen is gracious and well deserving of this honor. Heather Johnson was chosen by PROMETHEAN LITERARY SOCI- TY for their beauty queen. Heath- er is well liked by all and is Very enchanting. Handsome . . . exotic . . . dashing these are only a few of the adjec- tives we would use to describe this 'year's Beau Brummels. DANA LITERARY SOCIETY chose Jim Willette as their Beau Brummel. The choice is indeed a very wise one. PUNDIT LITERAQRY SOCIETY made a wise choice in their selec- tion of John Stackhouse. The selection of Kenny Pollock by WILSON, also, was a very fine choice. PROMETHEAN LITERARY SO- CIETY was very wise in choosing Vance Morris. Douglas Guy is the handsome senior that BROWNING LITER- ARY SOCIETY has chosen for their Beau Brummel. Every year, the five literary so- cieties of Westport share the ex- pense for a big dance. The Inter- Society Dance this year will be pre- sented at the Hotel Continental -Roof Gardens on February 16. Westport is honored to have Les Copley's Band to play. ' Dana, Browning Pundit, Prome- thean, and Wilson will collect a one dollar assessment to help pay for the expense of the dance. The queens and beau brumrnels will reign at the dance. Blessed Events To Two Members Of The Faculty Two of Westport's teachers re- ccntly welcomed another addition to their families. Mr. and Mrs. John Klepinger welcomed a boy February 1.

Hi, Mat! Say, maybe it was Pat. Co-nfusing, isn't it? Yes, twins can confuse you and get you so mfixed up you don't know whether you are com- ing or going. Let's take for instance Pat and Mat, who loved to doulble date. By the time the evening was over, each was just plain bored with his date. Then they found a solution! They switched dates! While at the show one night, they went to the drink- ing fountain or refreshment stand, and when they came back, they ex- changed dates. The girls didn't ev- en know the difference. Clever, weren't they? There was the time when Mary and Sary, two very pretty blue- eyed twins Csee m-e for the phone nunrberl, used the advantage of be- Mary ing identical twins. While was good in English at school, Sary was good in geometry. So, when the big test day arrived, Sary would take the Geometry test for Mary and Mary would take the English test for Sary. Both twins passed with flying colors! CI 'wish I had a twin!J Well, for all you twins, and for all you non-twins, I'd better end. I leave you with the following thought: If you aren't an identical twin, the above situation could be MUR- DER! TRY AT OWN RIISKI!

THE WESTPORT CRIER Betty Brooker Search For The American Homemaker 0f Tomorrow December 4, 1956, 300,000 sen- ior girls in high schools across the nation took an examination-a test of Homemaking Knowledge and Attitudes. The test was part of the Betty Crocker Search for the American Homemaker of Tomorrow. This program, sponsored by General Mills, is designed to further the dig- nity and prestige of the American home and to stimulate interest in the art of homemaking. The examination was given in more than 11,500 high schools, in 48 states and the District of Colum- bia. After taking the test, every girl received a personal copy of Betty Crocker's Homemaker Pro- filer and Guide to Homemakingf' The tests were graded by Science Research Associates. Razella James won for Westport. She received the distinctive Home- maker of Tomorrow pin, a badge of honor symbolizing the fact that Home is Where the Heart Is. The original examination of each school Homemaker of Tomorrow is now being compared with the ex- amination papers of all the other school winners in the state. The State Homemaker of Tomorrow wi-ll be awarded a 31,500 college schol- arship and an expense-paid educa- tional tour of the nation's capitol, Mount Vernon, and Colonial Will- iamsburg, Virginia. The second highest winner in the state will re- ceive a S500 scholarship. On May 2, 1957, all the State Homemakers will be guests of Bet- ty Crocker at the American Table Banquet in New York City. The All-American Homemaker of To- morrow will be chosen that night. She will receive ra 35,000 college scholarship. The second, third, and fourth ranking State Homemakers in the nation will be awarded S4,000, S3,000, and 82,000 scholar- ships, respectively. By their achiev- ments, they will reflect honor to all homemakers of America. We wish to congratulate Razella James and wish her luck for the finals. FEBRUARY 14. 1957 iger wodome N Heather Johnson the feminine part of this week's Twosome could be a lovely valentine personified. She is an active member of Prom- ethean Literary Society, being vice- president for two semesters. For very obvious reasons she was elec- ted Promethean's Beauty Queen. She was selected as the senior Most Likely to Succeed on the Senior Ballot, and is on the Senior Business Committee. Heather can -be found almost any hour of the day in the art room. She has won many awards for her art work among them, the Region- al and National Awards for Scho- lastic Art Contest. Classical music is her favorite, but Heather is not all long-hair as shown by the many Heat par- ties she has planned. After graduation K. U. is the lucky school that she will att-end, and she wil-l major in art. Heather Johnson and Ron Philgreen The comic part of our valentine is supplied by none other than Ronald Philgreen. Ronnie is the Vice-president of our student council and is on the All- City Student Council. He is presi- dent of our Red Cross Council and is the parlimentarian of the Jun- ior Red Cross Executive Board. Ronnie is president of the Band, and is a member of All-City Band, he plays saxophone. Ron is Heather's partner on the Senior Ballot, having been elected as the senior boy Most Likely to Succeed. If you ask Ron about his favorite food the enthusiastic reply is bar- liequed anything. Most of Roos sparc time is spent is polishing a certain Dana crest. After graduation he will attend Moody Bible Institute in prepara- tion for the ministry. TIGER THLES Now that the school has a new movie projector, it's about time that they got some new movies. Has the assembly 'become a thing of the past, or is school just natur- ally boring? Cousin Homer really has a prob- lem. He sleeps so much during school that he can't sleep at night. If you live in skid row and want to go big time, all you have to do is kidnap a girl or two. Chanel claims to be reviving a relaxed, slouchy style of clothing. Funny thing is that most of us have always had this style. A friend of ours suggested that since Toscanini is dead, maybe Bill :Haley could take over. lt's too bad that they caught the Mad Bomber . New we'll 'have to think up something new to fancy about our favorite teacher. Someone has suggested that Elvis Presley make an appearance with the Kansas City Philharmonic in order to raise much needed money for that organization. Not too bad of an idea as we would sort of like to see Elvis gyrate to Beethoven. In the last issue there was an ar- ticle called Work Pays Off . It didn't fool any of us for one minute. As good as the late movies on tel- evision are getting, it's a wonder that the 'teachers can still make it to school in the morning. And now we leave you with this week's im-portant words of advice. Let's see, un-well they go like this- no they don't. How do they go? Well they probabbly weren't any good anyway. Browls From .The Under Dogs Some of the common learnings classes have elected new officers. Mrs. Florence Hawkins' morning class elected Joan Ewen as presi- dent, Jim Zweiner as vice-presi- dent, Donna Cunningham as secre- tary, Dick Smothers as treasurer, Lynda Phillips and Melvin Blonsky as sergeant-at-arms, and Kathy Newborn as assignment secretary. In Miss Besse Ciainnon's morning class George Reichel holds the office of president. Assisting him are Jan Bondufrant as vice president, Jo Ann Lentz, the recording secretary, treas- urer Gary Grantham, and Sammy Day, sergeant-at-arms. Sharon Er- win is assignment secretary for this class. Mr. Fred Miller's morning class chose these officers: Kathy King, president, Keith Scearce, vice-presi- dent, Richard Day, secretaryg Fer- nando Flores, treasurer, Jim Gil- bert, In ings dent, sergeant-at-arms. his afternoon common learn- class Bob Peterson is presi- Sherry Mclntosh is vice-pres- ident, Mike Cummings is secretary, Deana Havner is treasurer, and Jon Kimbro is sergeant-at-arms. New Student Council Representatives Miss Velda Bybee's homeroom has Ulestport welcomes Homemaking Teacher Westport is indeed fortunate to have in its homemaking depart- ment a teacher with many years of experience in the instruction of homemaking. This new teacher graduated from Nevada's Junior 'College and Mis- souri University. She taught for two years at Jane Hayes Gates Vo- cational -School for Girls, before it and another school were consolidat- ed into Manual. She continued to teach at Manual for 18 years until she came to Westport. She takes Miss Estell Durboraw's position. To you, Mrs. Effie Farnsworth, Westport extends a hearty welcome. 4 elected Shirley Peake as the new student council representative. In Mr. Miller's homeroom is Cleo Hop- kins and the alternate is Carolyn Ellis. Miss Hawkins' homeroom has selected Jerry Kennon as their representative and Mike Moran as the alternate. Activities Miss Cannon is planning a Val- entine dinner for four of her students who made straight E's last semester. Twenty-two of her stu- dents have made the potential Hon- or Roll. Miss Velda Bybee's common learnings classes met with Miss Cannon's comm-on learning classes last Friday, February 8, and held a spelling match. The classes conducted by Miss Bybee are now studying Missouri. Pride in Missouri through better ac- quaintance with the resources and history of this state is the objective. It has been rumored about that the eighth grade, under the direc- tion of Jan Bondurant, their presi- den-t, will start a newspaper of their own in the near future. This pro- ject will be worked on after school. UI CLUB HULDS BHHUTUET The banquet for Westport's ath- letes and their guests was held at the Westport Methodist Church. The football queen, Mary Hamil- ton, and the cheerleaders were guests also. The evening was formally start- ed by Dave Mettee who offered the prayer. After the prayer and a short period of conversation, din- ner was served. The dinner con- sisted of ham with a raisin sauce, scalloped potatoes, green beans, hot rolls, and mild coffee, or water. Dessert consisted of ice cream and cake decorated with a W. Coaches Sam Keith and Claude Baker gave short talks. The guest speaker was Mr. Volney Ashford, 'head coach of Missouri Valley's football team. Following Mr. Volney Ashford's speech, everyone was formally in- troduced. Mr. Claude Baker announced this year's basketball queen. Kathleen Brown is the queeng 'her two at- tendants are Shirley Hand and Phyllis Mallin. The basketball team elected them. Sextette Will Travel To Music Festival The Westport Girls Sextette has been invited to sing in a music festival to be held in Moberly, Mo., Thursday, Feb. 28. They will sing some of their pre-contest numbers as well as several novelties for which they are famous. The entertaining group is prac- tically the same as last year's when they went to Warrensburg for the state music convention, and later won the weekly and grand prize on the Talent Round-Up Show on WDAF-TV. Barbara West, Janis Blackwell, Karen Robinson, and Donna Tompkins were members of last year's group, while Karen Short and Linda Teegarden are now with the group also. Mr. Spring will conduct the all- day rehearsal and program of the Moberly festival and Mrs. Spring will be the accompanist for the trip. Mr. Spring will conduct another festival in Bethany on March 2. Both Mr. and Mrs. Spring will go to Springfield for three days in April to act as choral judges in the southwest district of the state mus- ic contest.

THE WEBTPORT CRIER Uiiioer s Training Schools Open To Three Three of Westport's senior boys, Kenneth Mendenhall, John Stack- house, and John Ruf, are eligible for various armed forces officer's training programs. John Stackhouse and John Ruf are eligible to try for an appoint- ment to Annapolis and John Stack- house is also eligible to try for an appointment at the Air Force Acad- emy. Kenneth Mendenhall is eligi- kble for the Naval Reserve Officer's Training Corp. The boys have passed certain pre- liminary examinations that qualify them to take further final examina- which if passed will allow to be trained under the pro- tions, them gram for which they are trying. Kenneth Mendenhall took a pre- liminary examination that was open to all senior boys in December. In January he took a rigorous physi- ca-1 examination and was interview- ed by a board of naval officers. Kenneth is now eligible to take the final examinations which, if pass- ed, will place him among the state's quota for the N.R.O.T.C. program. Under the program, he will have his tuition and expenses paid for four years at any college which has an N.R.O.T.C. unit. After gradua- tion the trainee is given an officers commission and enters the navy for four years service. John Stackhouse and John Ruf applied through the congressman of this district, Mr. Richard Bolling, to take the preliminary examinations for an appointment to the naval academy at Annapolis, Maryland. During November of last year, these two boys took the prelimin- ary examinations. These examina- tions were followed by a physical check-up at the Naval Air Force Base in Olathe, Kansas. They were among ten boys chos- en this way. Two of the chosen 'boys are principals and the other eight are divided into two groups of four alternates. If one of the prin- cipals fails on his final examinations then his lfirst alternate is given appointment and so on down the the line of alternates until two boys are selected. Of the two principals from Mr. Bolling's district, John Ruf is one FEBRUARY 14. 1957 and John Stackhouse is the first al- ternate to the other principal. John Stackhouse also applied through Mr. Bolling for an ap- pointment to the Air Force Base in Denver, 'Colora-do. John took a civil service examination at the post office for his ,preliminary test. He is now one of the ten that are eligible to take the final competi- tive examination for an appoint- ment to the Air Force Academy. To Raise Funds for Denver Trip CContinued from Page ll boys, quartet will sing for any free meals offered. Westportis newly formed madri- gal group will sing in this special concert at the school February 22 and includes Linda Bet'hke, Mary Webb, Diane Russell, Myra Mather, Anna Coughenour, and Barbara South. Bob Dakey, Roy Campbell, and Bob Becker will sing the men's parts. The Southwest High School Men's Glee Club of forty-five singers will be special guests on the program. Their selections will include exerpis from The Mikado which their school is presenting March 8 and 9. Uieiuers Thrilled Bu Sports Exhibits No doubt many Westporters saw and were thrilled by the various ex- citing ex-hibits displayed at the sports show which was presented last week in the Municipal Audi- torium. Part of the show was televised on Harold Ensley's show Monday night, but only a fefw of the many exhibits could be shown in such a short period of time. There were target ranges for both bows and ar- rows, and .22 rifles. The thrills were provided by a dared-evil and a team 'of acrobats. There was also a queen crowned to reign over this edition of the sports show. No doubt many of the students who are inclined toward outdoor sports tried their hand at trout fishing. The charge was one dollar for which you could catch a limit of three trout. New Representatives For Student Gounoil The second semester Student Council Representatives are as follows: 1.

We have no doubts about the Tigers winning these games, but without question the toughest part of the sea-son lies ahead. The Tigers next play: Southeast Northeast Lincoln 5 Acme Office Machine Corp.

THE WESTPORT CRIER YIM... it NN ODE 'DO BOYS This is Valentine's Day And here at Westport, All the girls are busy Capturing tan escort. And if you find that you Are caught tight in their snare, The only solution is, To grin and bear. For boys, you'll see That when you've made your fall, It iwon't take long to learn That girls are human, after all. He: I wish I had a nickel for ev- ery girl I've kissed. She: What would you do? Buy a pack of gum? Some teenagers love to go to the movies, and others go to the movies to love. I know a girl who has so many cavities in her teeth that she talks with an echo. , This being Valentine's Day and with everyone looking forward to the coming of spring we find that poetry is bursting out all over. Here are some examples? A young theologian named Fiddle Refused to accept his degree, For, he said, it's enough to be Fid- dle Without being Fiddle, D. D. W'omen's faults are many, Men have only two: Everything they say, And everything they do. A newspaperman named Fling Could make 'tcopy from any old thing. But the copy he wrote Of a five-dollar note Was so good he is now in Sing Sing. There once was a man named Keith, Who mislaid his pair of false teeth. He laid them down on a chair, Forgot they were there Sat 'down and was bitten beneath.

EXGUSES Excuses, excuses, excuses, piled in small and large stacks. These excuses are the ones you must fur- nish for your teachers after an ab- sence for one cause or another. Did you ever stop to think about what happens when you are absent for one day? First the teacher must send in an absence report to the office which must be re-typed on a list and then marked on an attend- ance card. When you return you must carry an excuse card to every teacher for one or two days. Your last hour teach-er takes the card to the office where it is marked and filed. In looking through a pile of these cards you will hardly believe your eyes, for they come in looking as if they should ibe thrown in the waste :bask-et. Some are so wrinkled that they are hardly legible, others are marred by ink spots, and still oth- ers have been used by girls as a substitute for a tissue in blotting their lipstick. The interesting thing to do is to read the excuse tif there is oneb on the card. They read as follows: Ill, necessary business, out of town, and I forgot to wake him up. It seems the mothers of some .of our boys feel that their darlings will catch cold if they get their feet wet. A stack of these excuses some- times makes for good reading when you need a lift. They also provide much work for the office staff. A rough estimate of 80 to 90 stu-dents are absent a day, and about half of the office staff work only on these absences. If everyone came to school every day for a week, these ipoor peopl-e 'would have nothing to do. Let's see if -we can make these people and our teachers happy.

The Tigers outscored the Pirates by some seven points. To spark this tremendous victory was the excell- ent shooting of Dave Mettee and Wayde Fredrickson. The final score was 58-51. The main obstacle in Westpiort's way was the fine shooting and re- bounding of Mike Montgall and Bob Dennis. Both these players have proved themselves invaluable. Pre- vious to this game Westport and Paseo had had identical 2-1 records in league play. Westport had to win in order to keep in the run- ning for the league title.

Coach Claude Baker used only six players as he built up a 25-point lead and then put in the reserves who handled the inept Red Birds with ease. This action brought Mr. Baker the Coach of the week honor. The Tigers hit on 13 of their 27 field goal attempts in the first half while Manual could register on only four of their sixteen shots. As us- ual it was the Tigers balanced scor- ing attack which blasted the op- position's hopes of a victory. Dave Mettee led the scoring with 13 points, Dick Cox and Wayde Fred- rickson were close on his heels with 12 points each. Dave Acuff and Kenny Ross kept busy on defense and did a splendid job. They scor- ed eight and four points respective- ly. This victory gave the Tigers a 4-1 league record. The Tigers were in second place after this game, ahead of Central which had Li 3-1 record. Central later lost to Southeast which gives the Tiger's sole possession of the No. 2 posi- tion. Westport Wins Non Loop Game Westport used a full-court press February 5 with devastating re- sults on a Raytown team that could hit only 12 field goals all night. The final score was 75-49. Wayde Fredrickson was top Tiger scorer pushing in 20 points all on shots from the field. Wayde played such a fast and deceptive game that most of the time the Bluejays couldn't even keep up with him, let alone foul him, so he didn't get a single chance from the free throw line. The only thing that kept the Bluejays in the game was their ac- curacy at the free throw line. They hit 25 of their 33 attempts. The Tigers weren't far behind them in this field hitting 23 out of 31. The big bulge was from the field where the Tigers held a 26-12 edge.

Westport has some really tal- ented boys in this department. Art Whitaker is a senior who has taken drafting for ten semesters. An example of his very fine work is the model boat in the above pic- ture. He has been working on this project for three fourths of the year. It is made of fiber glass. The beautiful pipe rack of Eu- gene Ogilvie is a very good exam- ple of his work. Eugene is a jun- ior who has taken six semesters of wood shop. He has been working on the walnut rack for about a semester. A fine example of the works from wood, metal and drafting shops. Harry Seese is a senior who has taken two semesters of metal shop. His project is an Aladdin's lamp made of spun copper. He has been working on this magic lamp for about 15 weeks. A powerful rifle-scope is the pro- duct of Grant Montrose, a senior who has had nine semesters of met- al work. Grant has spent most of the year working on this rifle-scope. It is made out of 'brass and alumin- um and he plans on entering it in the Ford contest. Philharmonic Urchestra Will Visit Westport Westport High School will have a unique experience on Monday, March 4, when the Kansas City Phil- harmonic Orchestra will visit the school for a music program. Seventy- eight professional musicians will play in the group under fthe direc- tion of Hans Schwieger for two assemblies, the first at 8:30 and the second at 9:30. The orchestra concert for West- port has been arranged through the Philharmonic office and with the Kansas City Board of Education. It is to take the place of the usual semester concert thus eliminating the problems of ticket sales, excus- ing students from school, and trans- portation difficulties. With the fine recognition which has been accord- ed the Kansas City Philharmonic, it is assured that the program will be a very fine musical treat for West- porters. Uogue Presents Fashion Show On February 14, 1957, the home economics classes of Westport and one class from Junior College at- tended a fashion shown in room 307 during the sixth hour. This fashion show was presented by the educational department of Vogue Pattern Service. A Vogue representative had sev- eral girls model some fashions for the students from the Vogue Pat- tern book. Many students were able to see this worthwhile fashion show. JOIN THE JUNIOR R-ED CROSS BY CONTRIBUTING MARCH 4-8 EARN AND SAVE NOW!

Is This Westport? ...tfi'.'2'ZEti, i,'1. ...,, It has been said that Westport is one of the best mannered schools in the city. Of the many substitute teachers who have taught at West- port, many of them say that West- port students lead all others in be- ing polite and Well mannered. Westport has shown her best con- duct at the basketball and football games. In the state tournament at Cape Girardeau, it was stated that Westport had the best audience of all the schools at the tournament. Our fine reputation has been built PAST FUUTBALL STAR VISITS WESTPORT Ed Gardner, a graduate of '53, recently visited Westport. He is employed as a co-pilot and naviga- tor for the Pan American Airlines. Ed is flying the route of the Far East and Pacific. He said he is fly- ing one of Pan American's biggest airliners, the Boeing Stratacruser. He also said that the crew of the airship receive from 35,000 to 825,- 000 a year each. To be a pilot of any commercial airline, one must have a commer- cial license and an instrument rat- ing. One must also pass the test they give. Ed said that his great- est help in passing this test and many other tests like it, was his high school course in aeronautics. up over a period of many years, yet just a few minutes of poor conduct have torn down a lot of what we have worked so long for. It would- n't take much more for our school to completely lose her good name. We must all be on our best be- havior because we are being watch- ed and judged by our actions, now more than ever, by those outside our school. We want always to be able to real- ly mean it when we say, We're from Westport, no one could be prouder! iirmed Services Hold lissemhlu Westport held its annual military assembly last Tuesday, February 13, at 1: 15. Each year representatives from each branch of the armed services visit the high schools in Kansas City.

This little cutie is 5 feet, 4 inches tall, weighs 105 lbs., has blond hair, and green eyes. She is president of Pundit Literary So- ciety, vice-president of the Glee Club, a member in good standing of Pep Club, a member of the Herald staff, football queen, and she was voted the girl with the best figure on the senior ballot. When asked her favoriite pastimes she says that she enjoys horseback riding and swimming. She also en- joys fighting with Oscar Casselman in newswriting class. But more than anything, she likes to go to the country with Augie. Mary, like most teenagers, enjoys eating ham- burgers at Valentine's and bar-b- cue brisket. Mary leaves to go to work after sixth hour. She works at DWI- MEL Insurance Service. As for her future, Mary is plan- ning to attend Junior College and major in Business Education or Home Economics. l Bruce Fitch and Mary Hamilton The football star is 5 feet, 10 inches tall, weighs 155 lbs., brown hair, blue eyes, and is none other than Bruce Fitch. He is sergeant- at-arms of Wilson Literary Society, secretary of the W club, and cap- tain of the football team. He re- ceived All-Ciity Honorable Mention and All-District Honorable Mention. You can tell why Bruce was voted most typical on the senior ballot. His favorite food is fried chicken and he spends most of his spare FEBRUARY 28, 1957 time trying to keep his old Ford running--so he says! Upon graduation Bruce plans to attend Southwest Missouri State College. Guard Against Polio Polio is a disease of the central nervous system caused by a tiny virus of which there are three known types. A virus is an ex- tremely small organism that lives and produces only in living cells, generally injuring or destroying these cells. The polio virus usual- ly enters through the mouth. It thens passes to the nervous system by fthe way of the nerve fibers or 'blood stream. A headache, sore throat, upset stomach, sore muscles, dizziness, stiffness or soreness of the neck and back, fever, and occasionally, difficulty in swallowing or breath- ing are some of the symptoms of polio. Polio is usually treated by im- mediate medical care, bed rest, and good nursing. The Kansas City, Missouri, Public Schools have long cooperated in ef- forts to combat polio. Vaccine is now available in sufficient quanti- ties to provide immunization for all young people. All elementary and secondary pupils who have not previously re- ceived three inoculations will get them in the schools. The first one will be given in the early part of March. 'The second one follows one month later and the final one is given seven months after the sec- ond one. Pupils who have not completed a series previously started, have to bring a signed statement from their family physician or stub from the City health department as to the number of inoculations received with dates noted if series is not completed. The federal government pro- vides the vaccine for persons under twenty years of age, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis will provide the vaccine without charge to persons beyond twenty year of age. ALL-CITY STUDENT COUNCIL PLANS ALL- GITY TALENT SHUW The All-City Student Council is about the only get-together of school representatives that is non-compe- titive. Each public high school has three or four representatives. West- port's council members are Nancy Conklin, Ronnie Philgreen, and Al Guilford. The council president is Eddie Rowe of Southwest high. The adult leader is Mr. Joseph Bryan, Director of Secondary Education. The council holds its meeting the second Monday of each month. All-City Student Council mem- bers have no power to legislate. Plans made by the council must be punt across by the members so that the other students will back them. City Hall Day is backed by the council and is planned each year by them. The council president serves as governor of Missouri on City Hall Day. An all-school talent show and talent exchanges have been suggest- ed by the council. Also they are now working on a safety program for all schools. lllarv Illehb Places In Essav Contest Again this year Westport placed in the Sons of American Revolu- tion essay contest. Mary Webb, a Westport senior, was announced the third place iwinner. She will re- ceive a prize of ten dollars and a bronze medal, which will be pre- sented at a banquet on Friday, February 26. This is an 'annual ban- quet where the parents and Eng- lish teachers are also honored. The subject chosen for this year's contest was as follows: What is 'the Most Individual Right Reserv- ed for Me by the Constitution of the United Statesf' The material submitted had to be between 1776 words and 1957 words in length. Westport 'has always participated and often placed in this contest. The winners of first and second place this year are from Central High School. 3 Suhi-Freshman News 'Le5tII,ssf,'512',,2'f22I' ELECTIONS Miss Pauline Baird's morning common learnings class has held their semester elections and chosen these new officers: president, Jack Parscaleg vice-president, Kurry Kreegarg secretary, Ruth Williams, treasurer, Timothy Swail, and ser- geant-ait-arms, Karen Norfolk.

A group of home-made Valentine cards were presented to the group to be udged. Pa-tty Postlethwaite's Valentine was judged the most or- iginal. 'Miss Velda Bybee's morning class also had a Valentine -program. Cathie Porter, Kenneth Smith, Jeannon Clark, Sandra Goldman, Shirley Coonce, and Judith Easley provided the refreshments. Kay 'Seale surprised the class by bring- ing in a Valentine cake. Poems, songs, and games were the entertainment and although they had no Valentine box the group did exchange Valentines with their friends. STUDIES Mrs. Kauffman's common learn- ings classes are studying Missouri now and find it very interesting. Monday, February Ll, Mr. Sick- ing's class went to 'the Westport Branch Library where Miss Mary- beth Day, one of the staff, presented a short talk on the Dewey decimal system. After the talk, the stu- dents formed teams and searched for different ibooks according to their number. Forrest Vaughn and Sandra Shubert were the champion team. Miss Bybee's afternoon common learnings class had a current events quiz on Friday, February 15. In her morning class, Eddie Bar- rash was the chfairmnan of the com- mittee which presented a room pro- gram on Thursday, February 21. This program was on miscellaneous things. OTHER ACTIVITIES James, Watts of Mr. Sicking's class, presented a talk on the his- tory of scouting in America. He also demonstrated.. First Aid techniques to the class. These activ- ities were done in observance of Boy Scout Week. His class also presented a pro- gram on February 12 in recogni- ti-on of the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birthday. The program, CContinued on Page 57 The second NOMA spelling test was taken February 5. A total of 305 Westporters took the test. Thirteen per cent of the 305 made 100. Fifty-four per cent made 90 or above. Twelve students passed the sec- ond test. They previously passed the first test. The twelve are as fol- lows: 'Denise Dumas Claudine Elliott Karol Funk John Hoyle Laura Lindsey Judy Madison Agnes Novak Susan Shibley Lyla Snodgrass Joyce Tobin Pat Wiggins Karen Woods Twenty--eight students won their first award.

The Army now has a flame throw- er that only weighs 26 pounds. Fer- fect thing for weaker men to carry for self-defense. The Army is now sponsoring off- duty flying clubs for soldiers. The Air Force will probably retaliate by sponsoring tank drag races for the fly-boys. At last fthe West has something on the Russians. Vodka first came from South America. The boys who fought in the Battle of Waterloo wore such tight buck- skin pants that they couldn't sit down, They just ran like the devil. It seems that the boys in Idaho are going cougar hunting on motor- cycles. That way if you miss you can get away in a hurry. Moose have been running into trains and getting killed because train whis-tles sound like moose love calls. If you're that hard up, you might as well be dead. We're having trouble with our elections at school. We havenit got enough people for all the offices we've thought up. After the sub-freshmen read the headline Growls from The Under Dogs the growls rose to a blood curdling scream. Pardon us! Say boys, wasn't that pretty sneaky rthe way some girls changed the words around in a certain poem about the faults of the sexes in the last issue. It should read: Men's faults are many, Women have only two: Everything they say, .And everything they do. By the way, is it true that prunes are just Texas raisins? In the last issue of the paper there was an article called Excuses and in this article there was a sentence that read: It seems that moithers of some of our boys feel that their darlings will catch cold if they get their feet wet. At least boys don't have hysterics when they see a puddle of water. They just tromp through it casually. We hear that the neighborhood, being so generous, has voluntereed to time cars when they drag down McGee after school. Problems From The Girls Glee Gluh When the Westport's Girls Glee Club travels to Denver next month for their appearance before a five- state conference -of music teachers, Poppa -and Mom Spring will be faced with many problems not con- fronted by an average family. For example the usual round of French fries and hamburgers will take five dozen buns, ten pounds of hamlburger, nearly fifteen pounds of French fries, and nine cartons of cokes. To take a taxi from the railroad station will take at least six trips. A glass of milk for all will take nearly four gallons-a day's work for two cows. It will FEBRUARY 28, 1957 cost about S15 for a milk shake for the family . The Girls Glee club was select- ed last fall to represent the state of Missouri at the Colorado meeting by the executive board of the Mis- souri Music Educators Association. They were chosen because of their 'high 'performance rating, their ex- cellent costumes, and the fine spir- it de corps of the organization. Miss Marilyn Jensen of the phys- ical education department will trav- el with the Glee 'Club as assistant, and will enforce the lights outi' rule the night before the girls sing. King and Queen of Hearts were elected at Tiger Den February 9, 1957. There were many couples en- tered in the contest which was won by Beverly Schuler and Dave Acuff. People attending Tiger Den that evening voted as they came in the door. ' The gym was decorated with a ceiling of red and white crepe pa-per and walls were decorated with red hearts with the names of couples from Westport who are going steady. The contestants for King and Queen of Hearts were nomin- ated by the Tiger Den Committee. The winning couple was present- with matching sweaters and danced the first dance together.

The two classes plan to work together on a project to raise the money to buy the flag.

More than ever young people are realizing the need for a college education. However the prices and cost of getting a higher education are going up. Therefore it seems a paradox that more than 20,000 scholarships and loans are withour claiments. Millions of dollars are going unused while many students are doing without college for the want of money. The main reason for this seems to be that many students are applying for only the well known scholar- ships where the competition is stag- gering. The little known and local scholarships are idle. If you are having a tough time finding a scholarship 'don't give up until you have checked into all of them. For further information see the counselor, Miss Ola V. Galatas. The Westport vocal department will present its annual spring con- cert here at school, Friday evening, March 15. Nearly three hundred stu- dents in five groups will participate in the variety program under the direction of Miss Marian Downing and Mr. Harling Spring, Tickets for the concert will be fifty cents and will be sold by stu- dents in the department. The funds accumulated will be used for a variety of purposes in the vocal department. irgi , Saorfd 'This year City-Wide Sports Day will be held at Van Horn High School, March 2.

East rallied to within three points of the high-flying Tigers twice but Westport put the pressure on and the Bears folded. East's first threat came in the third quarter when successive field goals by Charles Yardley, Harold Eagan and John Rauber pulled them up within three points of the Tigers who were leading 34-31. Acuff nipped this effort in the bud 'when he drove in to score a basket which stretched the Tigers' lead to five points. Dave Mettee ended the Tigers' scoring for the quarter with a lay- up. Walt Hicklin made good -on a jump shot which pulled East to within five points of Westport 38- 33 at the end of the third quarter. The fourth quarter opened with Dick 'Cox hitting a free throw. Acuff hit a set shot and a free throw and Wayde Fredrickson scored on one of his deadly jump shots to make the Tigers' lead nine points over the Bears whose only scoring to that point in the fourth quarter had been on two free throws by Dean Tomlin. But the Tigers' scoring machinery stalled at this juncture as East pulled up to within three points again on goals by Hicklin, land Yardley and two free throws by Yardley. Cox was the spoiler to East's hopes of pulling it out a-t this point as he pushed in two shots from under the basket which together with Acuff's set shot from the side and Fredrickson's two free 'throws gave the Tigers a 52-41 lead. Hick- lin interrupted the long string of Tiger scoring with a layup at this point. After that Cox hit a layup and a free throw and Ross dropped in a layup to end the game at 57- 43. 8 members becoming lettermen on next year's varsity. Several second team show great promise of Among these are Ron er, high scorer for the second team with 85 points. He has a game av- erage of 12.11 points. Charles -My- ers, scoring 75 points, and a game average of 10.4 points, comes in for a close second. In third place isgDave Wilson with 34 points, and a game average of 7.7.

The first quarter ended with the Tigers leading 15-113 on the strength of .a last-minute goal by Ross. The Tigers really poured it on in the second quarter. Dave Mettee scored six of Wes'tport's 16 points in this period. Two of his field goals were on long set shots and the other was a shot from close under the basket near the end of the quarter. Kenny Ross collected 23 points, 16 of them in the second half, as the Westport Tigers stomped Southeast, 72-48. It took the Tigers only five min- utes to build up an 11 point lead. They held that margin at the quar- ter also, when the score was 23-12. Almost half of Westport's points in the first quarter, 10, were account- ed for by Wayde Fredrickson. Wayde had a perfect night fr-om the free throw line hitting 10 of 10. His total for the night was 18 points. Southeast actually outscored Westport in the second quarter, 12- ll. But the Tigers came roaring back to more than make up the deficit in the third period. The Tigers were really running Southeast ragged on defense, espe- -cially in the second half. When- ever Southeast' tried to guard against the long set shots of Dave Acuff, Dave Mettee or Fredrickson the Tigers would flip the ball in to Kenny Ross who would make the goal from right under the basket. Then if Southeast tightened up to try and prevent Ross from scor- ing, 'the Tigers' sharpshooters would go to work from the outside. Ross did a lot of work under the -basket for the Tigers both in scor- ing 'and in rebounds. This game was similar to most of the games the Tigers have play- ed this year in that it was high- lighted by the fine team play ,among the Tigers' five starters.

Over 300 students will participate in four different groups, and then combine for a large chorus to sing, No Man Is An Island and Let There Be Music. Spicing the program intermittent- ly will be the boys, quartet, the girls' sextette, and various soloists. The program will last a bit less than an hour and a half. There will be an admission charge of fifty cents for the program which will be used to defray the cost of the program and to provide the vocal department with operetta music and recordings for the com- ing Starlight Theater season. Some of the numbers which the performers will sing will be used again in the Kansas City Music Festival of all high schools which will be held in the Municipal Audi- torium on Friday, May 10. Special rehearsals will be held for this pro- gram April 29 in the Auditorium, and it is expected that some 3,000 students will participate. Preliminaries Held For Talent Show Westport will display some of its many talented students on April 12 and 13 at the Talent Show. The entertainment will consist of about 25 numbers. While at this time the program is not definitely scheduled, it will include such numbers as solos, duets, pantomimes, dances, and readings. It is planned that various departmental groups will also perform a skit of some kind. Sharing the spotlight as mistress and master of ceremonies are Ilene O'Hare and Bob Becker. The auditions were held on Wed- nesday and Thursday, February 27 and 28. Mr. Edward King and Mr. George Keenan were the judges. The event appears to be shaping up into a very entertaining evening. Seven lllestporters Enter Contest Seven of Westport's art students, Dave Acuff, Heather Johnson, Ar- minta Kreher, DeeAnn Lewis, Patsy Lopez, Cathie Porter, and Marilyn Weiss, have entered the Western Missouri regional exhibition of the National Scholastic Art Awards contest. The exhibition opened on the fifth floor of the Emery, Bird, and Thayer store February 28, was composed of 600 pieces of art work ranging from paintings and drawings in sev- eral media to fashion design to sculpture, to photography. Two hundred of these entries were presented golden keys by James A. Hazlett, Superintendent of Kansas City, Missouri schools, at a special program that took place at 3 o'clock at the Nelson Gallery of Port on Sunday, March 3. Of the Westport participants, Dave Acuff, Heather Johnson, Dee- Ann Lewis, Cathie Porter, and Mar- ilyn Weiss were presented these awards for their outstanding work. Heather and Dave also were mem- bers of a 1957 Scholastic Panel consisting of two other .high school members and the Kansas City Star, which was moderated by Nell Snead. Dave Acuff entered five transpar- ent water colors and two felt pen drawings, winning keys in both fields. Heather Johnson entered an oil painting which received a key, two transparent water colors which won a key, two fashion designs for which she got a key, and a piece of sculp- 'ture wihich rated a key. She also entered an illustration. DeeAnn Lewis won a key with the transparent water color sihe en- tered. She also entered two oil paintings. Cathie Porter won a key with the pen and ink drawing that she sub- mitted, and Marilyn Weiss entered an ink drawing which won a key for her. Arminta Kreher entered one oil painting and Patsy Lopez entered a linoleum block print. Herhertson, Lance and Morgan Receive Recognition From National Merit Scholarship Corp. Three seniors at Westport High School have been commended by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation for distinguished per- formance in its nation-wide search for students of unusual ability. The students honored are James E. Herbertson, Joyce E. Lance, and Lawrence E. Morgan. They have also been named Missouri state run- ners-up in the 1957 Merit Scholar- competition. As state run- ship ners-up, the local students will be letters of recommendation by sent NMSC for use in applying to the colleges they wish to attend. The National Merit Scholarship competition provides the largest system of privately financed schol- arships offered in the United States. High schools may enter their most outstanding students in the annual competition. The first hurdle the students face is the Scholarship Qualifying Test, a high level meas- urement of potential ability to ben- efit from a college education. This year, over 162,000 outstand- ing seniors from 12,500 high schools entered, with 750 four-year college scholarships worth an' estimated 33.75 million at stake. NMSC was established in 1955 throught grants of 320.5 million from the Ford Foundation and the Carnegie Cor- poration of New York. Over forty business and industrial firms offer four-year college scholarships through its facilities. The P.T.A. will hold a recep- tion for Mr. D. H. Holloway at Westport, Sunday the 17th from three to six p.m. Everyone is cordially invited. IIIIPROUE VUUR IITERIIIW 'GEITIS So you've written a story. What now? Whether you are writing for an English class, the literary con- test or writing the world's greatest novel, the most common mistake a young writer makes is that of us- ing the first 'draft instead of waiting a few days and then rewriting it. A just off' the presses story al- ways sounds a little awkward and stilted even to the author's preju- diced ears 'before it has been re- written. There are grammar mis- takes you hadn't seen as you wrote your masterpiece, there are words that aren't exactly right, and phrases that don't quite get your point across. You wonder as you correct them how you could ever have let them slip by. Some great authors have been quoted as saying that they would never think of sending their work to be read by a publisher unless it has been rewritten at least 10 or 11 times. It would be far within the mark to say that for every time you seri- ously reread and rewrite your story before handing it to your teacher it would move the grade up at least one point. That ought to be worth at least a try. You may just write a masterpiece that will set the world on its ear. Stevenin, Finalists For Mnookin-Brown Four high schools students have been named finalists in the Mnook- in-Brown American Legion post scholarship competition. They were chosen from 57 applicants for the S250 to S500 scholarships offered yearly by the post. Tom Stevenin, a senior at West- port is one of the finalists. For being a finalist he received a gold watch and a citation. The other three finalists are Kenton Keith, Lincolng Robert Co- paken, Paseog and Linda Danforth, East high school. Five judges, all principals or teachers at the public high schools, picked the finalists. The two win- ners will be picked 'March 12. These finalists will each give a book review and be interviewed that night. Tom has chosen for his book re- view Sea of Glory by Francis Thornton. The scholarships will be assigned to the college, university, trade school or other educational insti- tution selected by the senior and once awarded it is to be administer- ed by that educational institution. Former Westporter Receives Medal A Washington honor medal went to a former Westporter student, Judy Kramps, for the gold medal prize in the Sons of the Revolution contest which she received last year. Judy was a member of Miss Brubaker's senior English literature class. The 'title of Jucly's essay was Are the Principles of Government Ex- pressed in the Preamble of the Constitution Sufficient for Govern- ment Today? Judy is at present studying at the Art Institute, and living with her uncle and aunt, Dr. and Mrs. Stock- well, while her parents are in Hawaii.

Don't 'be alarmed it's only the so- ciety members in costume for their rushes. Ice cream sundaes and cookies headed the list of refreshments pre- pared for members and rushees at Dana Literary Society's second se- mester rush on March 1. The theme was Fantasyland and the mem- bers donned costumes to fit the occasion. Among the costumes were Cinderella, Snow White, Prince Charming, Pinochio, and many oth- er characters from Fantasyland. Alice in Wonderland was the theme of Pundit Literary Society's rush on February 15. The program consisted of Alice taking her trip through Wonderland. Refresh- ments met the occasion with card cookies and punch being served. Wilson Literary Society is plan- ning to hold a rush. It will be the first time any boy's society has ever 'held one. In the past they always had try-outs. OFFICERS APPOIN TED Browning Literary Society's ap- pointed officers for second semester are as follows: Jerry Walker Douglas Guy Sgts.-at-arms ..... ,.......

Peggy Groner THE WESTPORT CRIER iger wodome ln this issue of the Tiger Twosome we are featuring two of the liveliest teens around Westport. They are none other than Carol Nicholson and Bill Henry. Cfarol, the girl voted Comedienne', on the Senior Ballot has many ac- tivities to which she devotes her time. She is the Inter-Society represen- tative of Pundit Literary Society' Speech Arts. Stage and and vice-president of Carol is secretary of Screen and a member of the F.T.A. She holds the bronze Honor Society and is pin of the in Pep Club. She has been a member of the West- port orchestra for five years and the All City Orchestra for two years. Shrimp is rated number one on Carol's food list. Her hobbies are playing the piano, eating, and talk- ing. After graduation, Carol is going to attend Junior college and then finish at either Warrensburg or Drury. Bill Henry and Carol Nicholson Bill Henry is well known and well liked by all students at Westport. His list of activities include secre- tary of Wilson Literary Society, sec- ond team football for one year and MARCH 14, 1957 first team football for two years. The senior class made a wise choice when they voted him the boy with the Best Personality on the Senior Ballot. Bill's favorite food is steak with french fries and green beans. His hobby is working on his car and his favorite pastimes are swimming and talking plus driving his car. Upon graduation Bill plans to at- tend C. M. S. C. l - Why Tigers? Did you ever wonder why we're called the Westport Tigers? This question was brought up by a group of students a few weeks ago. We got out our old lamp, dusted it, and lit it up. Setting out like Diogenes we first went to the office of Mr. D. H. Holloway, our recent- ly retired principal, whom we thought would know the most about it. Mr. Holloway gave us a friendly greeting and then pondered over our question. As Mr. Holloway re- called it, Westport was already the Tigers when he 'became principal in 1929. However, he suggested that we contact Mr. J. L. Shouse, who was was the 'principal he replaced, and contact Mr. George Edwards who used to be a coach at West- port. The next move was to contact George Edwards. Mr. Holloway had said that Mr. Edwards had left Westport to coach at Missouri Uni- versity. We called the sports desk at the Kansas City Star and ask- ed about Mr. Edwards. They told us that Mr. Edwards had retired from coaching, but was still at the university holding down the office of chairman of the department of physical education. One point for our side. With hope we typed a short let- ter to Mr. Edwards asking him the pertinent question. A few days lat- er, the reply came. Mr. Edwards didn't know the answer. When he became the Dir- ector of Physical Education and Athletics at Westport in 1919, the Speech-Hrts Club Select Finalist On February 20th, the Speech- Arts Club held their annual Read- ing and Oration contest. Each member, in order to re- tain their memlbership, was requir- ed to read a selection or give a memorized oration. Ten semi-fin- alists in the reading contest were chosen and three finalists in the oration division. Wednesday the 28, these semi- finalists in the reading contest com- peted once again. The following four people were chosen and will compete once more in an assembly to be given in the spring: Marybeth True Barbara West Mike Welch Hannah Tague Larry Seale is an alternate. The finalists in the oration test are: Tom Stevenin Barbara South Judy Wholtman Mr. Edwin King, Miss Cecil Bur- ton, Miss Mary Wheeler, and Miss Marie Brubaker were the judges. COD- teams were already called the Tig- ers. He also had a faint recollec- tion that when he was a student at Central High School in 1908, the Westporters were called by this nam-e. Mr. Edwards suggested that we contact Mr. R. V. Harman, who was a faculty manager of athletics and history teacher for several years. He also referred us to the past principal, Mr. J. L. Shouse, as Mr. Holloway had done. Our lamp had gone down a few candle-power but we were about t-o discover what a great instru- ment the telephone is. We really didn't know of any great absolute truth behind the telephone, but it was to prove itself good in a prag- matic sort of way as you shall see in the next issue of the paper. 3 Sub-Freshman News Miss Besse Cannon's morning common learnings class in room 220 has some of its members participat- ing in the All-City Orchestra. These students are: Allan Fleming, Geo- rge Reichel, Sam Day, Diana Bent- ley, and Gary Grantham. Gary is considered one of the 'best first violinists at Westport and -has ninth chair in the All-'City Orchestra. Two members of Miss Velda By- bee's morning common learnings class in room 119 have received rec- ognition for outstanding work. Kenneth Lee Smith, who has pre- pared a display on sewage as was mentioned in this column in the last issue, appeared on a television pro- gram, March 6, as Westport's repre- sentative. This program was a dis- cussion of the Kansas City Science Fair and some of the projects that were being entered in the fair, among which Kenneth's project was talked about. Cathy Porter, who is in Miss Gretchen C'asler's first semester art class, has won an achievement key for 'her art entry in the Scholastic Art Awards. ELECTIONS Mrs. Florence Hawkin's common learnings class in 218 elected its second semester class officers on March first. Marsha Johnson is the president, Janean Atrgan is the vice- president, Martha Lynn is the re- cording secretary, Frances Ham is the assignment secretary, Janice Organ is the treasurer, and Robert Arms is the sergeant-at-arms. M:rs. Hawkins also teaches eighth grade speech classes which have also elected their officers. The hour four classes elected Gary Burandt as president, Sandra Day as vice-president, Kenneth Smith as secretary, Richard Sharp as treasur- er, and George Reichel as sergeant- at-arms. The hour six class elected Cathy Porter, president, Mary Dodds, vice- presidentg Georgene Russel, secre- taryg Jerry Kennon, treasurer, and Brian White, sergeant-at-arms. In the hour seven class the presi- dent is Berwin Fisher. Assisting him are Mike 'Coleman as vice- president, Sharon McGaugh as se- cretary, Carl Hursman as treasurer, and Richard Jenkins as sergeant-at- arms. 4 NEW FLAG Miss Pauline Baird's classes in room 206 have acquired the Ameri- can flag that was mentioned in the last issue. ' When this project was mentioned, Norma Gosney said that her fath- er, Mr, Norman Gosney might be able to get a flag for the class. Last week Mr. Gosney got a flag from Jefferson City free of charge and gave it to the class. This flag now hangs on the west wall in room 206. AtROUND IN THE 'CLASSES Marsha Asnower was the chair- man of a science committee which presented a program on rocks to the afternoon class on March first. Billy Tadlock was the assistant chairman. Mrs. Hawkins finds that her stu- dents also 'have developed an inter- est in the world of science. Jim Zwiener directs current events pro- grams in her class and during these pursuals several times a week, the students have found scientific de- velopments the most interesting. Some of Miss Baird's afternoon common learnings students made their debut at Westport in the com- ical play The Romance From Pif Pif Land. This play, presented February 28 to the class, featured Diana Lohoff, Carol Kupka, Tommy Charles, Kay Fields, Johnny Pep- perdine, Francis Canfield, and Lin- da Sprague. Westport Advances In Regionals Westport advanced to the semi- finals of the Rockhurst regional tournament after winning fa first round game from Lillis, 55-39. The Tigers play Paseo Thursday, March 7. Should the Tigers win the re- gional tournament, and they would appear to have a good chance to do so after finishing second in the In- terscholastic League, they would advance to the state tournament in St. Louis. Westport's first-round opponent will be the winner of the regional tournament involving St. Louis Beaumont. St. Louis Beaumont is curently carrying a long winning streak and should be a tough foe for the Tigers to get by. iger jc ed The only bad thing about going to a friendly neighborhood drug store is that there are so few friend- ly neiglrborhoods anymore. It seems that the girls' literary societies do about the same thing to have fun as the 'boys' societies do but they always have crepe paper. One brand of cigarette advertises flavor, filter and flip top box. We wonder if they have any tobacco in the darn things! Just the other night, cousin Al- vin's little sister reported that J im- my had kissed her after class. Of course, it took three other girls to help catch him. A friend of ours says that they're pretty friendly in the Army. Even the blankets are stamped US. The only reason that the girl next to us in study hall won't join us in a coke is that the bottle is too small. Lots of lives have been ruined by strong drink, but look fat all the boats that have been wrecked by water. FRESIIMAN TEAM HAS 'I-2 SEASUN Westport may be proud of her freshman team as well as the sec- ond team and the varsity. Coached by Mr. Patterson, it has w-on seven out of nine contests. The cnly two the freshmen Tigers have lost were to Northeast Junior of Kansas City, Kansas and Raytown. Both of these were away from Westport's home court. The Freshmen later reveng- ed the loss to Raytown in a game played at Westport. As of now the three top prospects to make the varsity are Danny Hut- chins, John Hurshman and Floyd Nails. These three are all very capabl-e but they will have no easy time trying to beat out the other talented players on the freshmen team who will be working for a var- sity berth.

Both Van Horn and Central beat West- port. All of the high schools were represented by a team, each play- ing two games. A special commendation is due to our team's guards, who gave the op- posing forwards a lot of trouble. They did exceptionally well in re- bounding and intercepting. A1- though the score would not indi- cate this, both games were played hard and the team wasn't out of the ballgame until the final whistle. Both games were refereed by Miss Harriet Fried a rteacher at South- east, and Miss Frances Deets of Southwest.

MARCH 14. 1957 The Westport Tigers teed off on Northeast, 60-47 as they warmed up for their big game with Lincoln. Dave Acuff was high point man with 20 points. Acuff's specialty is a set shot from medium range but he was fouled so much in this game that he spent half the night at the free throw line. He made it pay off fby scoring nine points on 13 at- tempts. The situation was just re- versed with Kenny Fuoss. Ross us- ually draws a lot of fouls and next to Wayde Fredrickson he has been of the Tigers at the free throw line. Kenny only got the charity line scored on two. the most proficient three chances from in this game. He Kenny 'scored six field goals, mostly on layups and shots from the side Northeast finished fast after do- ing a mid-game fade but it wasn't enough to overtake the high-flying Tigers who won easily. Northeast only hit twio set shots all evening. Most of their points came on lay- ups, short jump shots and free throws. Westport was off to a 14-12 first quarter lead and 'then put the pres- sure on the Vikes with the result that Northeast only scored three field goals in the second quarter and ended up trailing 31-20 at half- time. , The Tigers raced on to a 47-31 lead in the third quarter and then used the reserves to finish the game.

Lincoln's Tigers just had too much firepower as they had four big guns firing at Westport's goal. Lincoln had four men hitting over 12 points. Westport's scoring was more evenly distributed with all five starters hitting seven points or more. Kenny Ross was high scorer for the Tigers with 21 points, nine of these on free throws. Dave Acuff had 10 points, Dick Cox and Dave Mettee netted eight apiece and Wayde Fredrickson tallied seven. Westport as a team displayed a remarkable accuracy from the free throw line. All of the Tigers hit at least 6055 of their free throw at- tempts and three netted 100CL. Lincoln jumped off to a 14-8 first quairter lead. Dave Mettee meshed half of Westport's points in that per- iod, scoring on a set shot and two free throws. Lincoln was pulling away steadily in the second quarter as they built their lead to 36-23. Both teams hit their peak in the third quarter, Westport scoring 18 times and Lincoln 26. There's two more for Westport. Kenny Ross is shown laying one in against Lincoln. There weren't enough of these however as Westport lost 56-79. Westport spread out its scoring fairly evenly in the last half. One time in the third quarter and once again in the fourth quarter, four different Westporters scored in suct- cession. Lincoln had a better field goal percentage, scoring 30 times on 57 attempts for a percentage of 52. The Westport crew 'hit 19 of 44 attempts for 44 percent. Watch lout, Herb, you're flying too low.

The United Nations and NATO has a flag. The United States, Can- ada, and even the tiny country of Luxembourg has one. All the states in the United States have flags. Even Southeast and South- west high schools have an official flag. From a group of students, like Southeast High School, to a group of nations, like NATO, they all have flags. A group of nations, states, cities, or even students have a flag because they are proud of their country, state, or organization they have. They want to have something to show how proud they are. They have a flag to show the rest of the world that they think their organization is the best. The students of Westport are proud of Westport. They think Westport is the 'best high school in Kansas City. Therefore, why doesn't Westport have a flag? The Student Council of Westport hiffh is hnldinff 'I contest among the students of Westport, and will give a prize to the best sample en- tered. Miss Ruth Beck, the art de- partment, and the student Council of Westport will be the judges. The rules are simple. On any Pages Have Already Been Sent To Printer There is good news today, West- porters. The pages for the 1957 HERALD have all been completed and sent to the printers for pub- lication. The HERALD staff, which consists of seven members, finished the 112 pages early in March. The staff isn't making any promises, but they met their deadline and if the printers keep their lbargain, the HERALD of 1957 will be back on time. In order to catch as many mis- takes as possible, the page proofs must be proof-read. To accomplish this task a trip must be made to the publishers in Marceline, Mis- souri. Mr. James Lawson, the HERALD advisor, and four members of the staff will make the trip some- time during the middle part of April. The HERALD of 1957 promises to be one of the best yearboooks Westport has ever had. white, unruled, notebook paper, draw a flag which consists of not more than three colors. The colors to be used are blue, gold, and white. Two colors may be used separately. Mondav. A-nril 8. or :mv day before, give the drawing of the flag to Miss Beck, so it can be judged. In a later issue of the Crier, the flag, which will represent West- port, and a story about the flag and winner will be printed. A prize of 55.00 will be given to this winner. After the contest, the Midwest Flag Company will make a 4 113 by 5V2 feet cloth flag from the draw- ing. This flag will cost approxi- mately Sl00.00, which will come from the incidental fund. Let's support this contest. During the weekend, get together with your best friend or friends and make a drawing of a flag. Why, even you and your girl, or boy friend, could make one.

Holloway and also wrote a letter to Mr. George Edwards to find out why our mascot is a tiger. In his letter fMr. Edwards recommended th-at we call Mr. J. L. -Shouse and Mr. R. V. Harmon. This is an account of our encounter with the telephone. Coming rhome exhausted from an idle day at school, we grabbed the black instrument and began to dial. Mr. R. V. Harmon wasn't at home so we left our number with his wife. About an hour lat-er, Mr. Harmon called and blew his chilly breath on our lamp. He didn't know why we are called the Tigers. In the period of 1909 to 1927 when he served at Westport, he never re- called us being called the Tigers In fact he said that he thought the name was adopted in the 1930's the era of depression. Mr. Harmon suggested that we call Mr. Reeves Peters as he was likely to know. Mr. Peters, who is executive sec- r-etary of the Big Seven, had never coached at Westport but stored up a great amount of sports lore. When we called his home, his charming wife suggested that we try to reach him at this office. This was done. Mr. Peters was as much in the dark as we were. He didn't know why we are called the Tigers but had al- ways thought that the name was adopted when George Edwards came from M. U. and became the coach, bebcause Edwards was a Missouri Tiger . Mr. P-eters sug- gested that we look through some of the year books that were pub- lished several years ago and per- haps it would be explained there. Now we called Mr. Shouse who was principal of Westport from 1913 to 1929. I-lie didnft know the answer either. It had always been called the Tigers when he was principal here. We told him whom We had called and he 'told us to call back later and he would have a list of all the men that he thought would pos- sibly know. We hung up after the -conversa- tion and tried to bolster the waning flame with ia little -coffee. About 5 o'clock that afternoon we 'called the friendly Mr. Shouse again. He apologized for not hav- ing been able to supply the infor- mation and gave us a list of men to oall and a wish of good luck. Getting out the trusty old phone book we looked for the numbers of Mr. Clayton Dillingham, Mr. Lester Gregg, Mr. Louis Fisher, and Mr. J. H. Haas. We couldn't find the number of Clayton Dillingham. So, we turned our inquiring lamp into the eyes of M-r. Lester Gregg. Mr. Gr-egg, a graduate of 1901 said that we were called the Tigers when he went here. Back in those days, he related, there wasn't much in the line of teams. Hardly enough people could be raised for the foot- ball team. In fact four of the members were not students at West- port or any other school. They were working men who had an in- terest in football and a free after- noon. Mr. Gregg also informed us that he wvas the captain of the first base- CContinued on Page 43 Uhr lttrstpnrt Glrirr 313 East Thirty-Ninth Street. Kansas City. Mo.

The group left the Union Station in Kansas City at 9:15 p.m. Friday night, March 22, and returned Tuesday morning, March 26. Their schedule included per- formances at the Music Conference Sunday afternoon, two services Sun- day lT10I'1'1iDg at the Trinity Metho- dist Church, and a school assembly at the Gove High School in Denver. The girls also attended a Denver Community Music Program on Sun- day afternoon and a concert by the Denver Symphony Orchestra Sun- day evening. A four hour tour of Colorado Springs was enjoyed on Saturday morning by the organization. The trip by Greyhound buses included such well-known places as the Will Rogers Shrine, quaint Manitou Springs, the Broadmoor district, the Garden of the Gods, North Cheyenne CHUYOII, and many souvenir shops along 'the way. Various interesting places in Denver were visited on Monday by the Glee Club members, such as the United States Mint, the famous mountain museum, and the Colorado State Capital building. The Westport Girls' Glee Club was chosen to represent Missouri at the music conference by the Mis- souri Music Educators Association. Each girl was asked to furnish S25 ifor the trip, and an equal amount was raised by various bene- fit projects by the girls and the Westport P. T. A.

The A Cappella Choir went to St. Louis in 1938, the Choir ani Girls' Glee Club went to Topekw in 1941, and both made several trips to the Missouri State contest in Columbia before 1947.

The amount collected last year was S437. The collections were made from Tues- day, March 5 to Friday, March 8. This is very good considering that all of 'this was done in the midst of enrollments, influenza, polio shots, time out for the Philharmonic, tests, and grade cards. From the 47 rooms that con- tributed 14 gave from S10 to 336.70 in varying amounts.

The next man on the list was Mr. Louis Fisher also of the class of 1901. Mr. Fisher told a tale very similar to that of Mr. Gregg's.' He reported that ever since he went to Westport the teams, although they were small because only 100 stu- uents attended tne school, were called the Tigers. In 1901 only 25 people graduated and as Mr. Fisher reports there aren't too many of these old graduates left. Mr. Fisher did make one enlightening hopeful statement that if he foond out any- thing about the origin of the name Tigers he would inform us. The last man we talked to was M-r. J. H. Haas a graduate of 1920. Mr. Hiaas states that Westport was called the Tigers in 1916 when he first started here. It is Mr. Haas' conception that perhaps we adopted this name from M. U., but exactly how or where we got the name he doesn't know. Mr. Hfaaas suggested that maybe the name was adopted when the school was first opened and that a search in the library of the Kansas City Star might reveal some old newspaper articles bearing on the subject. And thus you have seen our search so far. There have been un- covered many opinions some of which conflict, and not too much has been learned, at least in playing our light about we have not out- done Diogenes. Was our name adopted from M. U.? Just when was it adopted? Was our name adopted because of the tiger-like qualities of our teams? Or was the name even adopted? Perhaps it was used to describe the teams long ago and gradually be- came part of Westport. Just how this all came about might be revealed by the research at the Kansas City Star which we plan to do in the near future. So don't lose too much sleep about this, and maybe we'll have something un- covered -by the time we go to press again. THE WESTPORT CRIER MnJer jlte KACL Auditorium In When you stop to remember the motto of the New York Times All the news that's fit to print, it makes you wonder how they ever got their newspaper out. Cousin Alvin says although his s'.vce..l,art's lace probably couldn't launch a thousand ships, he bets she could scare the whole Navy away. Did you ever notice how polite men are. to ladies until they get on a street car? This may come as a surprise to some of you but-the English Chan- r.el is not a TV station showing ancient English movies. It has been said that man's great- est achievement would be to totally civilize himself, but we feel that he'd be doing well if he could civi- lize women. WESTPORT TRIPS OVER PIRATES CContinued from Page 85 tallying 18 points. Wayde Fredrick- son was the other Tiger who scored in double figures, hitting 12 points, Andy Sandquist came through with eight points in this game. Andy is one of the promising juniors, who, along with Dick Cox, Wray Bur- ris, and Kenny Ross, will probably play an important role on West- port's varsity next year.

Acuff was also given Honorable mention on 'the all-distant team. Acuff is the tall senior whose steady scoring and defensive work has led Westport to many victories this season. Dave took individual scoring honors among the Tigers and kept up his steady pace through the Rockhurst regionals where he was one of the best scorers for Westport with 45 points in three games which was high for Westport. Acuff's favorite shot is a jump shot from medium range. Big Little Man Wayde Fredrickson doesn't have Acuff's size. Bult he has two im- portant assets in speed and a dead- ly one-hand push shot. He uses both to good advantage and his de- fensive skill makes him the best back-court man in the league. He can and does score from any place on the floor. Dick Cox is a tall and talented junior who has carried a major share of 'the Tigers' rebounding duties. He is a good scorer but does not do much in this depart- ment because he does not shoot too often. His defensive work makes him invaluable to the team. Fine Ross Future Kenny Ross is also a junior and a bright prospect for nexft year. He has not been a consistent scorer but seemed to hit his peak latte in the season and then cool off in the regionals. Kenny teams with Dick Cox in the rebounding department and, while he does not possess ex- ceptional height, he is very aggres- sive and often out-rebounds taller players. 3: AUUFF UN ALL-STAR FIRST TEAM WESTPURT TRIPS UVER PIRATES Tigers 60, Hawklets 48 G FT F1 G Acuff 6 6 1Morris 0 0 Sandq'st 2 4 Hostin 1 0 Cox 1 0 Tucker 0 0 1Mettee 8 2 Fredr'k'n 4 4 Totals 22 16 FTF 11Bernhardtl 0 1 01Craig 1 0 5 21Price 3 4 1 21Kelly 8 7 1 31'T.Sulliv'n 3 1 3 U1'Whitaker 0 0 1 31Fi1cken 0 0 0 11lSeizer o 0 o l21B.Sulliv'n 2 0 1 1Lynch 0 0 0 1Totals 18 12 13 Westport .... 14 12 15 19-60 Rockhurst ..... .. 12 16 10 10-48 Tigers 30, Pirates 34 F1 G FT F G FT Actuff 5 3 Ross 0 0 Cox 2 1 Mettee 0 2 Fredr'k'n 2 2 1Sandq'st 1 0 Bucher 0 0 Burris 1 0 1Totals 1 1 8 Westport .........

Dave Mettee teams with Wayde Fredrickson to give Westport a pair of dangerous outside shooters. Like Wayde, Mettee plays a sharp de- fensive game and his hustle often serves as a spark for the res-t of the team. Mettee typifies Westport's whole team with his spirit, drive, and Will to win. Paseo Pulls 34-30 Upset in Rockhurst Regional Tigers U.lin Upener 1 Third Place Won With 60-48 Victory Over Host The Westport Tigers started fast but then hit a snag in the form of Paseo that knocked the Tigers out of the running in the Rockhurst regional. The Tigers opened the tourna- ment with an easy 55-39 decision over Lillis, the only team other than Central in the tournament that the Tigers hadn't defeated earlier in the season. Paseo reached the semi- finals of the regional by inching past Southeast 56-50. Tigers Are Cool The Pirates weren't supposed to give Westport much trouble since the Tigers had already beaten them once. But Westport had a cold night, hitting only 24 per cent of its shots on 11 out of 46 and Paseo slipped by the Tigers, 34-30, on the strength of its accuracy at the free throw line. The Tigers outscored the Bucs 22-18 from the field but Paseo scored 16 times on free throws while the Tigers could only make ei-ght of theirs count. Dave Acuff's 13 points were top for the Tigers. His support came from Dick Cox who scored five. Wayde Fredrickson who scored six and Dave Mettee. Andy Sandquist and Jay Bucher who scored two each. As a result of the loss to Paseo Westport met Rockhurst in the con- solation game with the Tigers win- ning third place, 60-48. It looked like the Tigers might have trouble with the Hawklets but Westport put on the heat in the third quarter Ito go ahead after trailing at the half, 28-26.

The average magazine story these days starts off with half a dozen paragraphs draped around an illus- tration, and then jumps-like the quick brown fox-into the adver- tising section, where it trickles along between canned milk and floor wax.

Then before I accept, she went on, don't you think you'd better . . . ask the man who owns one? lf you mean your father, the young man answered. I'm sure he'l give his consent. He folded her in his arms, and his kisses were . . . supplied direct from the factory. Sweetheart, say that you'll be mine, he repeated. Very well, dear, she whispered, I'll . . . try it for thirty days. Whereupon he kissed her again and again . . . showing many dif- ferent styles and patterns.

Judy was a member and student council repre- sentative of Mrs. Hawkin's com- mon learning class during the first semester. The studerrts of Miss Velda By- bee's classes have made charts to show their progress in library read- ing. Each month a different type of decoration is used on the chart to show the pupil's progress. For March shamrocks have been added under the direction of Catlhie Porter, Linda Putnam, Ann Ferguson, and Ronald Brooks. Both her morning and afternoon classes have been writing and pre- senting reports in connection with the study of Neighbors in the Western Hemisphere. A correctly arranged bibligraphy was required for each report. Dan Izzard was chairman of the science committee which gave a program at a club meeting on April 5. Dick Wells was in charge of a miscellaneous program for the club meeting in Miss Bybee's afternoon class. Bruce Montrose and Richard Sharp have spent several weeks in preparation for their entry for the Science Fair Exhibit during the month of April. Dealing with the laws of the solar system, the boys have secured a motor mechanism by which the laws may be seen in action. The project has required a great deal of planning and now it is nearing the final stages. The ex- hibit was on display in Room 206 before being taken to the Munici- pal Auditorium on April 10 for 'the awarding and judging of projects from over the greater Kansas City area. Last year, Westport High School was awarded a first honor in the senior division. The faculty advisors were Miss Pauline Baird and Mr. Thomas Sicking. THE WESTPORT CRIER iger wodome Hear ye, hear ye. Court is now in session. Today we have two well- known seniors charged with having too many good attributes-especially good looks and pleasing personali- ties. The first defendant is the girl with the ever-changing hair, Shirley Hand. It seems Shirley is now the president and is the past parliamen- tarian of Promethean Literary Society. Further evidence against her includes being the vice-president of Pep Club and a member of the Girls' Glee Club. She is also a member of that great Herald staff of 1957. In the beauty department her guilt is hardly deniable because she was both a Tiger Den Dream Girl At- tendent and a Basketball Queen Attendent. Just one look at the brown haired, grey eyed senior girl Shirley Hand and Jeffrey Sheldon seems to thoroughly convince the jury. It is evident that her special likes include a certain junior boy, as well as such things as food in general and cheering at the games. In the future she plans to attend Kansas Cifty University and perhaps become a dental hygienist. Aprii 11, 1957 The second defenrlanf is that handsome senior boy, Jeffrey Shel- don. This well-rounded boy is an athlete as well as an honor student. His athletic prowess is shown in that fact that he has played freshman football ,second team football, var- sity football, and lettered in track. His mental ability stands out in that he received a gold pin with one pearl from the Honor Society and qualified for a National Merit Scholarship. Jeffrey also holds membership and is active in many organizations. He is a member of Student Council,, W Club, and HI-Y. It seems the job of treasurer fits him well for he has held that position his eighth grade, sophomore and senior years. He has also been a member of the Student Council Executive Board for two years. Although he has de- cided on no specific college a't the moment he hopes to become a chemical engineer. After a short time the jury brings in a verdict of guilt. But Wesger, the judge, is such a kind-hearted fellow that he lets them off with a light sentence-that of being ex- amples to all underclassman. Societies Enter Literary Contest Pundit-Promethean Tea Will Be May 3 All the members of the societies have been kept on the go lately checking in all the literary work. The literary work consisted of poems, short stories, informal essays, formal essays, and sonnets. The judging will be made on 'the con- 'tents and neatness of the work. The finals will be judged by teachers from Northeast high school. Preparation for various activities are also taking place. Dana Is Planning A Party A joint meeting and party is be- ing planned by Dana Literary So- ciety with their brother club, Brown- ing. Pundit and Promethean have been busy making plans for the an- nual Pundit-Promethean Tea to be held May 3. Well, that's about all of the news of the clubs this time-see you next issue! THE MILLIUNAIRES! Westporters Have Varied Plans For Imaginary Million Always curious, Wesger asked several Westporters a very import- anat question. What would you do if you had a million dollars? The answers were interesting and varied, for instance .... Joan Ewen, sub freshman: If I had a million dollars the first thing I would do would be to have ithe auditorium enlarged so that the eighth graders could go to the senior high assemblies. Then I would treat the senior class of '61 to malts at Klee's. On second thought I think l'd just buy Klee's. Bill Elledge. freshman: First I'd count it to see if it were all there. Then I'd count it again just for fun. I think I would really like to buy a ranch in Wyoming or Colorado and live out fthere after I got out of school, or else go pros- pecting for uranium. Shirley Hoshaw. sophomore: First of all I'd take a trip around the world. I'd pay to have John Yohe's hair cut. Then I'd have a swimming pool built on the roof of Westport so we could sun bathe up itheref' Wray Burris, junior: I would go hog wild and buy all the bubble gum in the world and then buy a ticket to the moon and enjoy my bubble gum, and last but not least buy another Hand CShirley, that isJ. Barbara Jones, senior: I would give Westport several athletic scholarships to entice prom- inent seventh grade football stars to come to Westport. After grad- uation I would buy an ocean liner and with a bunch of senior girls sail around the world. I would give the rest of the money to the poor underpaid teachers of Westport. 3 STUDEIIT TEIICIIEIIS GIIIII PRIICTICE IIT IIIESTPDRT This semester Westport has four student teachers. Richard Selle is teaching Ameri- can history and American prob- lems under the supervision of Mr. Fiske Miles. Mr. Selle has been at Westport since February 7, 1957. He has to have 150 hours of teaching and already has 120 of them. Mr. Selle graduated from Paseo High School in 1947. He attended Junior College, Drury, University of Kansas City, and Warrensburg State Teachers College. He was in the Air Force and when he is fin- ished with college he would like to teach either in California or New York. Lyle Moneymaker is Miss Ruth Beck's student teacher in the art department. This makes Mr. lVl'oneymaker's fourth week here and he has eight more to go. Mr. Moneymaker graduated from Central High School in 1953. He has attended Graceland for two years and last year he went to War- rensbiug State Teachers College. He has worked in 'the advertising field professionally for seven months at Macy's. Upon graduation Mr. Moneymaker is planning to go to the West Coast and either get in stage work or act- ing. James Toner is the student 'teach- er for Mr. James Moore in the boys physical education department. This is Mr. Toner's fourth week at West- port, and he will be here until May 24. Mr. Toner graduated from North-- east High School in 1953. He has attended Kansas University, Pitts- burg State Teachers College, and Wfarrensburg State Teachers Col- lege. Mr. Toner plans to teach phy- sical education in some high school in Kansas City, he doesn't know which high school. Mrs. June Buchanan's student teacher is Vick Bland. Mr. Bland has been here for seven weeks and plans to stay until some time after Easter. Mr. Bland graduated from Paseo in 1953. He attended Kansas Uni- versity and will graduate from 4' Rockhurst College this year. When he becomes a teacher, he wants to teach history and be a football and baseball coach. His preference in chosing a school is any high school in Kansas City. WOHLTMIIN WILL VISIT NEW YURK Tour Will Be Sponsored By Oddfellows and Rebeccas of U. S. and Canada The organization Oddfellows and Rebeccas of the United States and Canada sponsor an annual event known as 'the United Nation's Pil- grimage for Youth. A Westport junior girl, Judy Wohltman, has been chosen as one of twelve stu- dents who will represent Missouri on this year's program. The purpose of the event is to givc the students a better insight and knowledge of the workings of the United Nations. A three weeks tour to New York via bus will in- clude Washington, D. C., Niagra Falls, and parts of Canada. The group will leave from Hannibal, Missouri, July 22 and will return August 8. The participants were chosen for their high scholarship, church and committee activities. and leader- ship in school affairs. Westport can be truly proud of having one of her students chosen to attend this pilgrimage. There's a brand of crackers that advertises everyone is in a glow over them. We didn't know they were that bad. Cousin Homer can't smoke Marl- boro cigarettes because he doesn't have a tattoo on his hand.

They say you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, but who wants flies? They've got shaving creams on the market for men with heavy beards, medium beards, and light beards. We're just waiting for some joker to come out with some for guys with no beard at all. Washington College in Maryland is the only university to hold that name with 'the consent of George Washington.

What do you think about going steady? If I were to task a number of teenagers this question, I might receive many different answers. Personally I think it's great, but that isn't what this article is for. Many people go steady and they all go steady for a different reason. If you were to ask them what they thought of this steady business, they would say it was greaft fthe girls anywaylj Some people have never gone steady and say they never will. Their reply is it's for the birds ltweet, tweetlh You ask w-hat are the 'advantages of going steady? Well, I'll tell you The main advantage is it lets al the chicks and wolves know youi guy or gal is not available and that means 'hands off. Of course, to some people that ldoesn't make any difference. Then you belong to someone who belongs to you. You go with someone whom you prefer to others. You are sure of a date when you wanit one. When you go steady you are in the social set made up of steadies and you can have informal inexpensive fun with a person with whom you can relax. You say there are disadvantages of going steady? Of course there are, but aren't there disadvantages 'to everything?? Some people just weren't cut out to go steady. They like to flirt too much, but I know people that are going steady that flint every time they turn around Ctheir steady that is.J A lot of the time the parents ob- ject to this going steady because they don't approve of just dating one person. They want you to have fun with all the boys and girls. When you go steady your variety of friendships is limited and some facets of your personality may go undeveloped. Then your choice of the right one for you is narrowed. As you see, there are advantages and disadvantages of going steady. It largely depends on you if it is an advantage or ia disadvantage.

April 11, 1957 THE MIRACLE AGAIN The sky was white with blinding light When Christ the Lord was born. Darkness hung from the high arch swung When he suffered cross and thorn. When he passed those portals that men pass too, The gates of death and birth, The sky flew banners 'to mark the day. But Easter comes-to earth. We can recall how he gave all By our awe when a martyr dies, And His natal day by the star- bright ray In a human bab's eyes, No more need dark skies mark His death Nor rain of stars His birth, But what would remind us of Easter time If Spring did not come to earth? When leaves come first and tight buds burst To make the cool air sweet, Their green and gold pushed through the mold The Miracle repeat. Oh, God is good, and the whole world should Be one in praise and mirth, Remembering resurrection day As Easter comes-to earth. By May Williams Ward. l l Wayde Fredrickson, Basketball Captain TALENT SIIUW, TOMORROW Westport will hold its spring Tal ent Show tomorrow night and Sat- urday night beginning at 8 o'clock.

Mr. Coleman has had a distin- guished football record as both a player and coach, and he has the reputation of being a stickler for hard work. He went to high school at fthe Haskell Institute in Lawrence, where he played football for four years. Haskell was undefeated in one of these years, 1944, and only lost three games in the last three years in which he played. In Air Force 3 Years After graduating from Haskell, Mr. Coleman gave 'three years of service to his country in the air force. After his military service was concluded he went to Bacone college in MacA1ester, Oklahoma where he played two seasons of football. Bacone lost only three games in those years. He furthered his education at Sou'thern Methodist University but was not there long enough to play football. He next played for North- east Oklahoma State college where his team lost only one game and played in the Shrimp Bowl against Sam Housfton State in 1953. Mr. Coleman attained his Master's de- gree at Kansas University. His coaching career started while he was playing for Northeast Okla- homa State. He coached the Sequoia High School which went to the finals of the class B state tourna- ment. While at K. U. he was the .assistant c-oaoh of the 'freshman football team.

Ill l.llHliT SPORT DOES UIESTPURT HHUE THE ITTOST CHHIIIPIUIISHIPS? In what sport has Westport won the most state championships? No doubt many Westporters would think football because they've seen the big trophy in the front hall showing everyone, who will stop and look, that Westport once had a team which finished second in the nation. Oth- ers might think track because there are also several track trophies in the cases in the front hall. While it is true that Westport has a trophy-:studded past in such fields as football, basketball, and R.O.T.C. competition, it is also true that Westport holds 10 state championships in tennis. Thatls right I said tennis. The Missouri High School Activities Association was formed in 1926 and regulates sports events and other interscholastic contests such as de- bating and music festivals. The publish a handbook which lists all state champioons since 1926. In this record book they give Westport credit for two singles titles and eight doubles titles. The most recent of these championships was in 1947 when Barnes won the singles title. The Tigers' only other singles championship came in 1931 and was credited to N. Mclnninch. The Tigers held a virtual stranglehold on the doubles tournament, winning the title in 1928, 1931, 1932, 1934, 1936, 11939, 1941, and 1942. That's eight titles in 14 years. Quite a feat for any school.

Well, Westporters, it looks like our search for the inception of West- port's nickname has bogged down. As we told you before the files of the Kansas City Star appeared to be the last resort in our que-st, but even that source has failed us. The search through the Star's files did bring many interesting things to light, things which provide an insight into the deep tradition which fills the halls of Westport. Westport in its earliest concep- tion was a private seminary. One of the pieces of reference material describes three of the teachers who taught during the school's seventh session in 1856. It listed Mr. J. T. Riley as a classical scholar and competent teacher. Mrs. Susan D. Wetzel taught the primary grades and Mr. C. Hahn was referred to as An old amateur in the delight- ful science of music. lt was said of the superintendent that his con- stant guardianship would 'be thrown around the students? Closes Doors During War The next reference to Westport that we can find tells of a tax levy that the voters of the town of West- port were asked to approve in 1859. This tax was to support the school. There is no indication as to whether the citizenry of Westport approved this idea or not, but we find West- port closing its doors during the civil war. The first effort at re-establish- ment came in 1867 when the school board purchased a small tract of land which is now 706 West 42nd, the present site of the Allen school. The Pauper's School The 2-story building with base- ment was completed in 1869. The school was supported entirely by the taxpayers' money and was awarded the nickname of the Pau- per's school. The school had a large proportion of German stu- dents and consquently held classes in German in the basement. The classes were under the instruction of the Rev. A. B. Mysch and his daughter. A picture of Rev. Mysch is shown in the Star's article. He was a stern but kindly-looking man, dressed in black. He wore a small cap not unlike those worn by Monks and providing a slight bit more covering for the head than a beanie, which it closely resembled. A picture of the student of West- port in 1869 is also shown. His clothing is nothing for the boys of Westport to envy. He is dressed in high-waisted baggy pant-s which may have been hand-downs or the style of the day. 'If his 'pants were oversize, his jacket certainly was- n't. It appeared to be tailored to leave a gap about six inches wide down the front. The boy either wore a dickey or else his white shirt was styled quite a bit differ- ent than ours because there were no buttons visible in front. School Board Well Applied To get back to Westport, the Ger- man classes were discontinued af- ter only one year of operation. Cor- poral punishment was very much in vogue at this time with the young offended often having to cut his switch from a tree that grew out- side. Girls were spared since a school regulation prevented the teachers from switching young ladies over the age of 15. Elie lllestpnrt Glrirr 313 East Thirty-Ninth Street. Kansas City. Mo.

While the story doesn't say, we doubt if -that young man finished his educa- tion at Westport. Perhaps if he did, he took his classes standing.

Each of the five societies receivied work from every member in one of the four various fields- formal essay, informal essay, poem, or short story.

Here, then, is the story be- hind the new passes. Miss Ruth Beck started the rolling when she had one of students, George Middaugh, make a hall pass from clay and another, Joan Cannon, paint it. Mr. W. S. Esther saw the new .hall pass in use and decided that similar ones could eliminate the hall 'pass trouble he and many teachers had been experi- encing with the old ones, which had been written on a piece of pa- per. The old ones were not satis- factory because they were too easi- ly copied. ball her Mr. Esther asked Miss Beck and her students to make new passes for distribution to other teachers. The finished product, then, is the wooden passes now in use. The chemistry pass is shaped like a flask, while the English passes are shaped like books. The students who cut out the passes and :painted them were George Middaugh, Don Irby, Rob- ert Mills, and Ted Ade. Stevenin Wins Sears-Roebuck Scholarship Miss Galatas has announced that Tom Stevenin is one of the winners of the 1957 Sears-'Roebuck Founda- tion scholarship awards. The award is in the amount of S275 and is applicable at the school of Tom's choice. Presentation of the award will -be made at a luncheon in the Junior Ballroom of the Hotel Presi- dent, Wednesday, May 15, at 12:00 noon. Tom's parents and Miss Galatas will be special guests at the lunch- eon fwhich will also honor other winners from the Kansas City area. APRIL 25. 1957 STUUEIITS IIIHHE PROJECTS FOR RED CRDSS Under the supervision and watch- ful eye of Mr. Paul Sloan, the woodworking department has made six ibookcases. These cases were made at the cost of eight dollars, in material and 30 hours of labor. This adds up to a grand total of 180 hours of labor and 43 dollars in material. For the last few years the wood- working department has made these bookcases, the only difference be- tween the ones made this year and those of previous years was that of design. They are used to carry books to patients in Red Cross hos- pitals and convalescent homes while the patients are unable to walk about. One can easily see they serve a most worthwhile pur- pose. TUIO UIESTPURTERS HIIIUIIGTOPESSIWISTS Will Enter State Contest 'A' Two Westport students were no- tified that they had placed in the top four essay awards in Jackson County and were asked to re-sub- mit their essays for the state com- petition in the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Women's Auxiliary, yearly essay contest. They are Ronnie Philgreen, sen- iorg and Sharon Frerking, junior. Both are students in Miss Marie Brubaker's English classes. The topic this year is America's Crusade for Free Men's Rights. S-o far no further ranking 'has been given except the top four for this county. A pessimist is a woman who bc- lieves she will be able to squeeze her car into a very small parking space and an optimist is a man who believes she won't try. Did you hear about the couple that furnished their 12 room -house with premiums from soap coupons? They had two complete rooms of furniture and ten rooms full of soap. A man generally calls a spade a spade unless he hits his foot with it Cousin Homer, who is moving to South America, is afraid that the hot climnate might disagree with his wife. Frankly we think it wouldn't dare. The only reason most of us don't own an elephant is that we've nev- er been offered one for a dollar down and a dollar a week. Habits are like soft beds, easy to get into and hard to get out of. If you ask to have the family car so you can go on a date and your dad remeinds you that he didn't have one when he went courting, just re- mind him of what he got. The last time Melvin offered a girl ten dollars for a kiss she paled visibly thinking of the fortune she had given away the night before. 'Then there was the Scotchman who bought one spur. He figured if one side went, the other was sure to follow. I2 Girls Chosen CCon'tinued from Page lj of three and then singly. The bal- lots were cast immediately follow- ing the tryouts, and the results were announced the following day. The finals to choose next yaer's varsity cheerleaders will be -held at an all-school assembly April 24. 3 a iger' wodome As Wesger is always on the look- out for good looking girls he has picked for this issue of Tiger Two- some a 5' 5 , 117 lb., brown hair and brown eyed girl named Karen Harris. Accompanying her in the spot light is an equally good look- ing male by the name of Bob Beck- er. Karen's list of activities include being a member of Pundit Literary Society of which she was secretary. She has worked in the office for two years, is a member of the Girls' Glee Club, and 'holds both the bronze and silver pins in Westport's honor society. She has been in the orches- tra for three years and is a member of Pep Club. Wilson Literary Soci- ety made a wise choice when they chose Karen for their Beauty Queen. She was also a Tiger Den Dream Girl Attendant. Bob Becker and Karen Hlurris Her favorite foods include big juicy steaks and her mother's en- chiladas, and 'her favorite pastimes are going to shows and slumber parties to catch up on all the latest gossip. As for Karen's future, she is eith- er going to work or attend Junior 4 college. limb Becker oi' 'fClcm to his friends is well known and well liked around the halls of Weslp art. When asked his description lic si..- 4 was 6' 0 , 100 and plenty lbs., ey: g yes, two of them Cbluel, hair: no' znurli, but what he does have is lc: Jvrn. Heading Bob's list of ac', vitles i.: Wilson Literary Society, Presiler. of Speech Arts, and HW slub. He is past vice presidnet of the Choir and was voted 'iCasanova on the Senior Ballot. He was on first and second team football and was the Master of Ceremonies in the Talent Show. His choice of food is steak and french fries with coke or milk to drink. His favorite pastime is try- ing to think of reasons to go over to Merry's house. Bob is planning to go to Junior college for two years and then go to U.C.L.A. or the University of Southern California. It is quite plain to see that the halls of Westport will be losing two great teenagers when Karen and Bob leave. Societies Will Hold Parties Now that the literary contest is over the societies are planning par- ties to end the year. Dana Literary Society and Brown- ing Literary Society are planning a joint Dana-Browning party for May 3. They will share half and half on refreshments and entertainment. The Pundit and Promethean Tea is also being planned for May 3. It has been a tradition of Pundit and Promethean to hold a joint tea for many years at Westport. Besides the party being planned for May 3, Dana is planning on changing their jackets and talked with a Lowe and Campbell repre- sentative not long ago. El Circulo Calderon, a depart- mental club of Westport is planning a Spanish dinner for the members and past members of their club. It will be held April 29. Speech Arts memlb-ers were very proud of the finalists, Tom Steven- in, oration, and Larry Seal, read- ing, chosen to represent their club in the recent assembly. 1 Stackhouse and Herhertson Are Awarded In l'l.R.0.T.0. Program A-'LOTC scholarship is a scholar- :...g which allows its owner to go to any of the 50 universities or col- lg ':s which participate in the pro- : am. The scholarship is good for all four years at 'the college de- sired, if the ov.'.1er m'akes grades which are in good standing. After finishing the four years, the owner must then spend three years in active duty wllh the Navy, as a Commissioned Officer or an En- sign . Also, during the summers of his college, he must go on a s..m- mer cruise in me Atlantic Ocean. John Stackhouse, a senior of Westport, received top honors for Westport by receiving the principal appointment for this scholarship. Also, another Westporter, Jim Her- bertson, did very Well by receiving an alternvate appointment. In the state of Missouri, 44 appli- cants won the principal appoint- ment and about 20 received alter- nate. To receive this scholarship, both boys had to take a mental and physical exam. Allso, they were interviewed. Sub-Freshman News March 29, an Eighth Grade Dance was held in the girls' gym. This dance lasted from 3:30 to 5:00 and an admission of 250 per person was charged to help raise funds for Y- Teens.

SUB-FRESSHMEN CContinucd from Page 43 trated with col-or slides, he 'had tak- en on a recent trip to Latin Ameri- ca. This was in connection with Pan-American Day, April 14. The talk contained information pertinent to the eighth grade's sci- ence studies in the areas of rocks and fossils and was also linked with the social studies unit Our Latin American Neighbors now being studied by the eighlth grade. Mr. Fred Miller's common learn- ings classes are planning trips to Swift and Company today, April 25. The morning class will leave school at 8:30 and start the tour of the company at 9:20. The after- noon class will embark at 12:50 and begin the tour at 1:20. Mr. Thomas Sicking's and Miss Pauline Baird's classes spent two 'hours in the afternoon at the Sci- ence Fair on April 12. The group went together to see the projects and get ideas for projects to make next year for the Science Fair. Miss Mary Beth Day, of the West- port Branch Library, gave a talk on books about wars to Mr. Sicking's group. This was in connection with the unit they are studying which is entitled The U. S. Becomes a World Power. Mr. Sicking's class also made some amusing cartoons of Dang- ling Participles which were placed on the bulletin board. Miss Baird's Brain Teasers, who were mentioned in an earlier issue, are planning a spring Party to be held May 17. In the history line Miss Baird's afternoon and morning classes have been 'stu-dying the Filipinos and the Puerto Ricans. In her morning class weekly news reports are being given. Three peo- ple are chosen by the news com- mittee chairman to make the re ports. One person is assigned in- ternational news, another national news, and the last is assigned local news. .

Al- though they did not Win a scholar- ship tfhese 'boys will have their names put on a list of high school seniors who did outstanding work in these contests. This list will be sent to colleges and other groups who have scholarships to award. It is hoped that this will help the students who can benefit from a college education receive finan- cial aid from other sources.

TRACK TAKES ITS PLACE ATOP SPORTS CALEN AR Kansas Relays Werre Next Test For Squad Now that the basketball season has ended, and all regional games have been played, our 'attention turns to another sport which is too often ov- erlooked in the spring rush, that is track. These boys really work hard for the honors they bring Westport. Al- most every night after school they run out to the Kansas City univer- sity track field, which is a two mile run in itself. One could stop al- most anyone in the halls of West- port and ask, How many points did Westport score in the last track meet? or When is the next track meet? and get such an answer as, I dunno. ' -STOP! STOP! in front of the trophy cases in the front 'hall and see the trophy awards the track teams have won for Westport. You will agrdthese boys deserve much credit. This year Westport has an unus- ually fine group of boys who are showing great skill in all track events. At the State Tournament the Tigers placed tenth and at the Big Seven Indoor Track Meet at the Municipal Auditorium, Westport placed third in the high school di- vision. Following are most of the boys on the track team: 100 yard dash: Wayde Fredrickson, Jeff Sheldon. 220 yard dash: Wayde Fredrickson, Herb Snedden. 440 yard dash: Jeff Sheldon, Herb Snedden. 1 mile run: Cecil Keyton. 880 yard relay: I-Lerb Snedden, Jeff Sheldon, Mike Staggs, Wayde Fredrickson. Mile relay: Kenny Pollock, Jeff Sheldon, Mike Staggs, Wayde Fredrickson. Broad Jump: Wayde Fredrickson, Herb Snedden. High Jump: Bob Brewer, Jim Car- ras. Pole Vault: Tom Swofford Shot Put: RJalp'h Leisi, Phil Myles. Some of the best prospects for next year's team are, 'Ralph Leisi, shot put, and Cecil Keyton, mile run, Tom 'Swofford, 'shot put, 880 yard relay and mile relay, Mike Staggs and Phil Myles throwing the shot put. With this fine combination West- port should have a wonderful var- sity track team. The prospects for the second team also look very good. About the four best carry-overs from last year's track team are Kenny Pollock, pole vaultg Herb Snedden, 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, 440 yard dash, and the relays, Jeff Sheldon, broad jump, 100 yard dash and hurdles: Wayde Fredrick- son, broad jump and dashes. Mike Staggs and Albert Doybins showed great promise 'as freshmen and show even greater promise this year as sophomores. Westport's next big track event took place at Kansas University, where the 880 yfard relay team ran in the Kansas relays. Baseball Time Brings Ills and Aches It's baseball time again. The old familiar song of Take Me Out to the Ball Game is frequently heard on TV and radio. lt's springtime, and with spring comes house clean- ing, gardening, and excuses. In this particular season, more grand- mothers have to be visited by Jun- ior, the dentist and doctor will have more customers, and so forth. One thing is sure, the doctor will have to be consulted about Junior's pain in the abdominal region, I-probably caused by too many peanuts and hot dogs.J Don't miss too much school or work kiddies, the teachers and boss- es know granny doesn't need you and the doctor and dentist can be visited when games are rained out.

CContinued from Page 21 graduating class seldom numbered more than five or six students and at one time there were only 10 stu- dents studying high school subjects. In 1885 Westport was recognized as a 'high school under state law making it the second recognized high school in the state. For some reason, which was nev- er explained, the first graduation was seven years later, in 'May of 1892. Westport was moved to 39th and Warwick Blvd. in 1891. Our fine library had its beginning then when, because of the increase in enroll- ment, the city fathers recognized the need for a library. They settled upon a novel way of .satisfying this need by giving what is described as an entertainment the admis- sion to which was a book. School wias opened every day with a bible selection. There was a rule requiring pupils to learn from 10 to 12 verses every day. fContinued Next Issuej THE WESTPORT CRIER hr vatpnri Glrivr Vol. 44, No. 13 KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI April 25, 1957 The Future Westport Flag HUBBHR llllNS FLIIG CONTEST Acuff Takes Second in Contest To Find Banner for Westport Westport will soon have an offi- cial flag.

The band, lead by Mr. Keenan, played The Crusader Overture. Dr. Ball talked on Ideas, what had been accomplished with them, and what is yet to be accomplished. Karen Short, Mike Welsh, and Barbara West sang solos which they have prepared for the State Contest. Miss Mary Chris Toevs, a member of last year's class presented the Gold Pin Group to Dr. Ball, who in turn presented the gggup, to Mr. Esther ,who gave out the cards en- titling thc students to wear the pins. Eight students received cards for gold pins with three pearls, they are: Evelyn Gomez, Arminta Kre- her, Larry Morgan, Donald Phil- green, Paul Ramirez, John Stack- house, Jerry Walker and Mary Webb. Cards for gold pins with two pearls were received by six stu- dents, they are: Joyce Asbehl, Isa- bel Avila, J. C. Heminger, Heather Johnson, John Ruf, and Jerry Rut- ter. Cards for gold pins with one pearl were received by: David Aculff, Janis Blackwell, Robert Dakey, Dumas, Wayde Gay, Charlotte Hughes, James John Davis, Denise Fredrickson, Jerry Hamilton, 'Cherlyn Herbertson, Rozella James, Barbara Jones, Joyce Lance, Tom Langley, William London, Shirley Loyd, Bet- ty McNaughton,' Phyllis Mallin, David Mettee, Terry Ann Murphy, Ronald Philgreen, Jeffrey Sheldon, Susan Shibley, Thomas W.

Well, Westporters, it looks like our search for the inception of West- port's nickname has bogged down. As we told you before the files of the Kansas City Star appeared to be the last resort in our quest, but even that source has failed us. The search through the Star's'l files did bring many interesting things to light, things which provide an insight into the deep tradition which fills the 'halls of Westport. Westport in its earliest concep- tion was a private seminary. One of the pieces of reference material describes three of the teachers who taught during the school's seventh session in 1856. It listed Mr. J. T. Riley as a classical scholar and competent teacher, Mrs. Susan D. Wetzel taught the primary grades and Mr. C. Hahn was referred to as An old amateur in the delight- ful science of music. It was said of the superintendent that his con- stant guardianship would 'be thrown around the students. Closes Doors During War The next reference to Westport that we can find tells of a tax levy that the voters of the town of West- port were asked to approve in 1859. This tax was to support the school. There is no indication as to whether the citizenry of Westport approved this idea or not, but we find West- port closing its doors during the civil war. The first effort at re-establish- ment came in 1867 when the school board purchased a small tract of land which is now 706 West 42nd, the present site of the Allen school. The Pauper's School The 2-story building with base- ment was completed in 1869. The school was supported entirely by the taxpayers' money and was awarded the nickname of the Pau- peris school. The school had a large proportion of German stu- dents and consquently held classes in German in the basement. The classes were under the instruction of the Rev. A. B. Mysch and his daughter. A picture of Rev. Mysch is shown in the Stars article. He was a stern but kindly-looking man, dressed in black. He wore a small cap not unlike those worn by Monks and providing a slight bit more covering for the head than a beanie, which it closely resembled. A picture of the student of West- port in 1869 is also shown. His clothing is nothing for the 'boys of Westport to envy. He is dressed in high-waisted baggy pants which may have been hand-downs or the style of the day. 'If his 'pants were oversize, his jacket certainly w-as- n't. It appeared to be tailored to leave a gap about six inches wide down the front. The boy either wore a dickey or else his white shirt was styled quite a bit differ- ent than ours because there were no buttons visible in front. School Board Well Applied To get back to Westport, the Ger- man classes were discontinued af- ter only one year of operati-on. Cor- poral punishment was very much in vogue at this time with the young offended often having to cut his switch from a tree that grew out- side. Girls were spared since a school regulation prevented the teachers from switching young ladies over the age of 15. iilhr lliratpnrt Glrirr 313 East Thirty-Ninth Street. Kansas City, Mo.

While the story doesn't say, we doubt if that young man finished his educa- tion at Westport. Perhaps if he did, he took his classes standing.

Each of the five societies received work from every member in one of the four various fields- formal essay, informal essay, poem, or short story. After judging their work the societies turned their win- ning material over to the inter- society adviser, Miss Stella Maddox. The judges for the contest were members of the Northeast High School faculty. The division winners in each so- ciety are as follows: DANA Informal essay ............

THE the individual sec- winning society will at an assembly on WESTPORT CRIEB Hall Passes Made To Gut Down iger ago Missing Classes Made By Four Students No dou-bt many Westporters have seen the new hall passes just re- cently put into use and have mar- veled at the ingenuity 'behind the clever designs and art work on them. Here, then, is the story be- hind the new passes. Miss Ruth Beck started the ball rolling when 'she had one of her students, George Middaugh, make a hall pass from clay and another, Joan -Cannon, paint it. Mr. W. S. Esther saw the new hall pass in use and decided that similar ones could eliminate the hiall pass trouble he and many teachers had been experi- encing with the old ones, which had been written on a piece of pa- per. The old ones were not satis- factory because they were too easi- ly copied. Mr. Esther asked Miss Beck and her students to make new passes for distribution to other teachers. The 'finished product, then, is the wooden passes now in use. The chemistry pass is shaped like a flask, while the English passes are shaped like books. The students who cut out the passes and painted them were George Middaugh, Don Irby, Rob- ert Mills, and Ted Ade. Stevenin Wins Sears-Roebuck Scholarship Miss Galatas has announced that Tom Stevenin is one of the winners of the 1957 Sears-Roebuck Founda- tion scholarship awards. The award is in the amount of S275 and is aipplicalble at the school of Tom's choice. Presentation of the award will be made at a luncheon in the Junior Ballroom of the Hotel Presi- dent, Wednesday, May 15, at 12:00 noon. Tom's parents and Miss Galaltas will be special guests at the lunch- eon which will also honor other winners from the Kansas City area. .APRIL 25. 1957 STUDEITTS lllllHE PROJECTS FUR RED CRUSS Under the supervision and watch- ful eye of Mr. Paul Sloan, the woodworking department has made six bookcases. These cases were made at the cost of eight dollars, in material and 30 hours of labor. This adds up to a grand total of 180 hours of labor and 43 dollars in material. For the last few years the wood- working department has made these bookcases, the only difference be- tween the ones made this year and those of previous years was that of design. They are used to carry books to patients in Red Cross hos- pitals and convalescent homes while the 'patients are unable to walk about. One can easily see they serve a most worthwhile pur- pose. TlU0 UIESTPDRTERS l-llll0llGTOPESSllllISTS Will Enter State Contest 'A' Two Westport students were no- tified that they had placed in the top four essay awards in Jackson County and were asked to re-sub- mit their essays for the state com- petition in the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Women's Auxiliary, yearly essay contest. They are Ronnie Philgreen, sen- iorg and Sharon Frerking, junior. Both are students in Miss Marie Brubaker's English classes. The topic this year is Americafs Crusade for Free Men's Rights. So far no further ranking 'has been given except the top four for this county. A pessimist is a woman who be- lieves she will be able to squeeze her car into a very small parking space and an optimist is a man who believes she won't try. Did you hear about the couple that furnished their 12 room house with premiums from soap coupons? They had two complete rooms of furniture and ten rooms full of soap. A man generally calls a spade a spade unless he hits his foot with it Cousin Homer, who is moving to South America, is afraid that the hot climate might disagree with his Wife. Frankly we think it woul-dn't dare. The only reason most of us don't own an elephant is that we've nev- er been offered one for a dollar down and a dollar a week. Habits are like soft beds, easy to get into and hard to get out of. If you ask to have the family car so you can go on a date and your dad reminds you that he didn't have one when he went courting, just re- mind him of what he got. The last time Melvin offered a girl ten dollars .for a kiss she paled visibly thinking of the fortune she had given away the night before. Then there was the Scotchman who bought one spur. He figured if one side went, the other was sure to follow. I2 Girls Chosen CContinued from Page lj of three and then singly. The bal- lots were cast immediately follow- ing the tryouts, and the results were announced the following day. The finals to choose next yaer's varsity cheerleaders will be held at an all-school assembly April 24. 3 iger' wofiome As Wesger is always on the look- out for good looking girls he has 'picked for this issue of Tiger Two- some a 5' 5 , 117 lb., brown hair and brown eyed girl named Karen Harris. Accompanying her in the spot light is an equally good look- ing male by the name of Bob Beck- cr. Karen's list of activities include being a member of Pundit Literary Society of which she was secretary. She has worked in the office for two years, is a mem-ber of the Girls' 'Glee Club, and 'holds both the bronze and silver pins in Westport's honor society. She has been in the orches- tra for three years and is a member of Pep Club. Wilson Literary Soci- ety made a wise choice when they chose Karen for their Beauty Queen. She was also a Tiger Den Dream Girl Attendant. Bob Becker and Karen Hiarris Her favorite foods include big juicy steaks and her mother's en- chiladas, and her favorite pastimes are going to shows and slumber parties to catch up on all the latest gossip. As for Karenls future, she is eith- er going to work or attend Junior 4 college. Holi Becker or Clem to his friends is well known and well liked around the halls of Westport. When asked his description he said he was 6' O , 100 and plenty lbs., eyes, yes, two of them Cbluej, hair: not much, but what he does have is brown. Heading Bob's list of activities is Wilson Literary Society, President of Speech Arts, and W club. He is past vice presidnet of the Choir and was voted 'iCasanova'i on the Senior Ballot. He was on first and second team football and was the Master of Ceremonies in the Talent Show. His choice of food is steak and french fries with coke or milk to drink. His favorite pastime is try- ing to think of reasons to go over to Merry's house. Bob is planning to go to Junior college for two years and then go to U.C.L.A. or the University of Southern California. It is quite plain to see that the halls of Westport will be losing two great teenagers when Karen and Bob leave. Societies Will Hold Parties Now that the literary contest is over the societies are planning par- ties to end the year. Dana Literary Society and Brown- ing Literary Society are planning a joint Dana-Browning party for May 3. They will share half and half on refreshments and entertainment. The Pundit and Promethean Tea is also being planned for May 3. It has been a tradition of Pundit and Promethean to hold a joint tea for many years 'at Westport. Besides the party being planned for May 3, Dana is planning on changing their jackets and talked with a Lowe and Campbell repre- sentative not long ago. El Circulo Calderon, a depart- mental club of Westport is planning a Spanish dinner for the members and past members of their club. It will be held April 29. Speech Arts memibers were very proud of the finalists, Tom Steven- in, oration, and Larry Seal, read- ing, chosen to represent their club in the recent assemibly. Staekhouse and Herbertson Are Awarded In N.R.0.T.G. Program NROTC scholarship is a scholar- ship which allows its owner to go to any of the 50 universities or col- leges which participate in the pro- gram. The scholarship is good for all four years at 'the college de- sired, if the owner makes grades which are in good standing. After finishing the four years, the owner must then spend three years in active 'duty with the Navy, as a Commissioned Officer or an En- sign . Also, during the summers of his college, he muist g-o on a sum- mer cruise in the Atlantic Ocean. John Stackhouse, a senior of Westport, received top honors for Westport by receiving tlhe principal appointment for this scholarship. Also, ianother Westporter, Jim Her- bertson, did very well by receiving an alterniate appointment. In the state of Missouri, 44 appli- cants won the principal appoint- ment and about 20 received alter- nate. To receive this scholarship, both boys had to take a mental and physical exiam. Allso, they were interviewed. Sub-Freshman News March 29, an Eighth Grade Dance was held in the girls' gym. This dance lasted from 3:30 to 5:00 and an admiission of 25c per per-son was charged to help raise funds for Y- Teens. A group of 70 attended and cookies and cokes were served as refreshments for the couples. Mrs. Sandra Kauffman, Mrs. Eve Williams, Miss Marilyn Jensen and Miss Vona Jane Stueck were the sponsors.

Do you believe there is a Devil? asked one. No, said the other promptly. It's like Santa Claus, it's your father. The Sunday school 'teacher asked Bobby why he was late. I was gonna go fishing this morning, said Bobby, but Daddy wouldn't let me. You're a very fortunate boy to have a father like that, said the teacher. And did your father make it clear to you why you shouldn't go fishing on Sunday? Oh, sure, replied Bobby. He said there wasn't enough bait for both of us. Mother- What did your father say when he fell off the ladder? Junior- Shall I leave out the naughty words? Mother- Of course, dear.

SUB-FRESHMEN fContinucd from Page 45 trated with color slides, he had tak- en on a recent trip to Latin Ameri- ca. This was in connection with Pan-American Day, April 14. The talk contained information pertinent to the eighth grade's sci- ence studies in the areas of rocks and fossils and was also linked with the social studies unit Our Latin American Neighbors now being studied by the eighuth grade. Mr. Fred Miller's common learn- ings classes are planning trips to Swift and Company today, April 25. The morning class will leave school at 8:30 and start the tour of the company at 9:20. The after- noon class will embark at 12:50 and begin the tour at 1:20. Mr. Thomas Sicking's and Miss Pauline Baird's classes spent two hours in the afternoon at the Sci- ence Fair on April 12. The group went 'together to see the projects and get ideas for projects to make next year for the Science Fair. Miss Mary Beth Day, of the West- port Branch Library, gave a talk on books about wars to -Mr. Sicking's group. This was in connection with the unit they are studying which is entitled The U. S. Becomes a World Power. Mr. Sicking's class also made some amusing cartoons of Dang- ling Participles which were placed on the bulletin board. Miss Baird's Brain Teasers, who were mentioned in an earlier issue, are planning a spring Party to be held May 17. In the history line Miss Baird's afternoon and morning classes have been studying the Filipinos and the Puerto Ricans. In her morning class weekly news reports are being given. Three peo- ple are chosen by the news com- mittee chairman to make the re- ports. One person is assigned in- ternational news, another national news, and the last is assigned local news.

Tom Stevenin gave the benedic- tion. Jack: Will you marry me? Jane: No, but I'll always admire your good taste. 6 Three Un List Of Merit Sgllolarships Sheldon, Walker, and Former Westporter, Dale Ludwig Receive Certificates of Merit Two Westporters, Jeffrey Shel- don and Jerry Walker, and one former Westporter who will return from Texas to graduate with West- port's 1957 class, Dale Ludwig, have received 'Certificates of Merit from the National Merit Scholar- ship Corporation. fThese three 'boys are the West- port students 'w'ho were eligible for the final examination in the Nation- al Merit Scholarships contest. Al- though they did not win a scholar- ship these lboys will have their names put on a list of high school seniors who did outstanding work in these contests. This list will be sent to colleges and other groups who have scholarships to award. It is hoped that this will help the stu-dents who can benefit from a college education receive finan- cial aid from other sources. Whoever was drinking the punch the last time must have really got- ten hold of something. They even lost the punch bowl and six cups. it TALENT SHOW, A BIG SUCCESS A Total of 20 Acts 0'Hare and Becker Are Dual M.G.'s Westport's annual 1957 Talent S-how was held Friday an-d Satur- day night, April 12 and 13.

These boys really work .hard for the honors they bring Westport. Al- most every night after school they run out to the Kansas City univer- sity track field, which is a two mile run in itself. One could stop al- most anyone in the halls of West- port and ask, 'tHow many points did Westport score in the last track meet? or When is the next track meet? and get such an answer as, 1 dunno. STOP! STOP! in front of the trophy cases in the front -hall and see the trophy awards the track teams have won for Westport. You will agree these boys deserve much credit. This year Westport has an unus- ually fine group of boys who are showing great skill in all track events. At the State Tournament the Tigers placed tenth and at the Big Seven Indoor Track Meet at the Municipal Auditorium, Westport placed third in the high school di- vision. Following are most of the boys on the track team: 100 yard dash: Wayde Fredrickson, Jeff Sheldon. 220 yard dash: Wayde Fredrickson, Herb Snedden. 440 yard dash: Jeff Sheldon, Herb Snedden. 1 mile run: Cecil Keyton. 880 yard relay: Herb Snedden, Jeff Sheldon, Mike Staggs, Wayde Fredrickson. Mile relay: Kenny Pollock, Jeff -Sheldon, Mike Staggs, Wayde Fredrickson. Broad Jump: Wayde Fredrickson, Herb Snedden. High Jump: Bob Brewer, Jim Car- ras. Polie Vault: Tom Swofford 0 Shot Put: RJalp'h Leisi, Phil Myles. Some of the best prospects for next year's team are, 'Ralph Leisi, shot put, and Cecil Keyton, mile run, Tom Swofford, shot put, 880 yard relay and mile relay, Mike Staggs and Phil Myles throwing the shot put. With this fine combination West- port should have a wonderful var- sity track team. The prospects for the second team also look very good. About the four best carry-overs from last year's track team are Kenny Pollock, pole vault, Herb Snedden, 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, 440 yard dash, and the relays, Jeff Sheldon, broad jump, 100 yard dash and hurdles, Wayde Fredrick- son, broad jump and dashes. Mike Staggs and Albert Doybins showed great promise as freshmen and show even greater promise this year as sophomores. Westport's next big track event took place at Kansas University, where the 880 yard relay team ran in the Kansas relays. Baseball Time Brings Ills and Aches It's baseball time again. The old fam-iliar song of 'fTake Me Out to the Ball Game is frequently heard on TV and radio. It's springtime, and with spring comes house clean- ing, gardening, and excuses. In this particular season, more grand- mothers have to be visited by Jun- ior, the dentist and doctor will have more customers, and so forth. One thing is sure, the doctor will have to be consulted about Junior's pain in the abdominal region, flprobably caused by too many peanuts and hot dogs.J Don't miss too much school or work kiddies, the teachers and boss- es know granny doesn't need you and the doctor and dentist can be visited when games are rained out. Remember, the teachers and bosses had to use these same excuses, so be original! SU'B'FRESH MAN NEWS 0Continued from Page 57 George Reichel, Keith Scearce, Bev- erly Brown, Carol Kupka, and Kay Fields. .Speakers in hour six were Patty Postlethwaite, Jo Ann Lenty, Car- olyn Ellis, and Sharon Erwin. The first group of hour seven speakers were Nancy Chapman, Pamela McKelvey, 'Carole Brentson, Janet Shubert, !Mary LaMont, Ber- win Fishers, 'Raymond Underwood, and Sally Baumgartner. Miss Besse Cannon's afternoon common learnings class visited the Home Show in the Exhibition Hall April 5. The group was served samples of food. which everyone en- joyed. Miss Cannonls afternoon class has a new member. The student, Clara Katzberg, has transfered from Southwest. Clara, who was born in Poland and came here when she was seven, became a citizen of the United States, April 15. Miss Can- non's class planned a program cen- tered around Clarals newly acquir- ed citizenship. WHY TIGERS? tContinued from Page 23 graduating class seldom numbered more than five or six students and at one time there were only 10 stu- dents studying high school subjects. In 1885 Westport was recognized as a high school under state law making it the second recognized high school in the state. For some reason, which was nev- er exrplained, the first graduation was seven years later, in 'May of 1892. Westport was moved to 39th and Warwick Blvd. in 1891. Our fine library had its beginning then when, because of the increase in enroll- ment, the city fathers recognized the need for a library. They settled upon a novel way of satisfying this need by giving what is described as an entertainment the admis- sion to which was a book. School was opened every day with a bible selection. There was a rule requiring pupils to learn from 10 to 12 verses every day.

The winning material in each division was read by the author. For a third year in a row Pundit Literary Society acquired the highest total to win first place.

WHY T CContinued from last issuej As you may remember from last issue we were telling about the early years at Westport as related by dif- ferent stories and reference maiterial from the files of the Kansas City Star where we went in search of in- formation about Westport's nick name, Tigers Here then is the conclusion of the story we started in the last issue. Westport was still not a large school, even in 1905 its graduating class contained only five pupils. The same was true in 1906. While these graduating classes may have been small they did not lack their share of finery. One of the gradu- ates who later became a teacher said that there was two yards of organdy in each sleeve. We can imagine the effort it must have taken for this girl to raise her arm to accept her diploma and pity the poor fellow who had to hold up her arm at the graduation dance. Fire Destroys School But things weren't always rosey at Westport. There was the night of April 15, 1907, when fire broke out in the school building. The fire engine had to come all the way from 16th and Summit. It took the fire engine an hour to make the trip and consequently there was nothing left but a shell of the ori- ginal building by the time the fire engines arrived. The fire did not result in a dismissal of classes how- ever, as Westport students attend- ed classes at -Central while the new building was under construction. This brings us to 1908 when Westport high school moved to its IGERS? present location. Evidently there was an effort made in 1908 to build a school that would stand perman- ently and never becom-e out-dated. And so they went all out. Early articles in the Star use glow- ing superliatives to describe the au- ditorium and the large halls along with the modern architecture. Mr. S. A. Underwood of the school board issued a 'statement in which he said that the board was determined that the school should hiave ample hall and cloak closet space. The rea- son for th-e dire need of more cloak closet space was that students were often forced to carry home books which would not fit in their crowd- ed lockers. This was quite a prob- lem and at one time the mayor of New York, apparently in all seri- ousness, ordered school girls to carry their 'books home from school on one arm three days of the week and on the other arm the other days so they wouldn't grow lop-sided. Mr. Spring a Hero Fire struck Westport again, this time in 1934. The fire was not ex- tensive and the damage to the au- ditorium was estimated at Sl,000. It was during this fire that Mr. Har- ling Spring, who still teaches mus- ic at Westport, teamed with another teacher to save the life of a janitor who had valiantly fought the flames until 'he was overcome by smoke, by carrying the janitor from the build- mg. The high school building carried a price tag of S440,000 la fantastic sum, especially in those days. The restaurant equipment cost 52,500 Uhr mrstpnrt Qlrirr 313 East Thirty-Ninth Sireei.

A course in designs gave instruction in leather work, book covers and wood carvings. The ischool had a faculty of 43 teachers, a capacity of 1,500 students and 45 rooms. Wes-tporters have always been blessed with originality and creative ability but even the best of talents can be applied toward a bad end and that was the case in one inci- dent which oocurred in 1923. Its an amusing incident to look back on but probably many of the par- ticipants were not laughing at the time. It seems that a sophomore at Westport decided to have a little fun by playing a practical joke on three of the wealthiest and most influ- ential men in the city. His joke took the form of ia blackmail letter in which he threatened the lives of these men and their families if they didn't comply with his instructions. Here is an excerpt from -one of his letters: Don't Tell the Bulls We will give you one more chance Cto pay the 55,0007 - - - But this is the l-ast chance as we are not very generous. Do not give any' thing away unless you feel lucky and 'are not afraid of your wife and b-oy getting shot or killed some oth- er wfay . . . Say nothing to the bulls about this or you and your family are goners for we have y'0Ul' num' bers. ' The practical joker identified we as none other than the dirty dozen of the New York under- world. We can think of no better way to end this recount of some of the early days at Westport than Wllfh the words of Teddy Roosevelt who spoke to an assembly of Westport students in 1910. Here is the advice the ex-president had for the stu- dents iof WestP0I'l5 'Face hfe as those of you who play football ought to play footbaill-don't shirk, d,0n't foul and hit the line hard. THE WESTPORT CRIER Shown left to right are the varsity cheerleaders for next year: Beverly Schular, Marylin Boone, Connie lzzard, top row, and bottom row. Judy Penny, Sandy Shrout, and Mary Penny. FUTURE VARSITY CHEERLEADERS ARE CHOSEN The assemblies for choosing next year's varsity cheerleaders were held Wednesday, April 24. From the 11 girls who tried out, six girls were chosen. Two assemblies were given so that all members of the student body were able to participate in the election. Each person was allowed to vote in his homeroom for six candidates on the ballot. The girls chosen in the order of votes are as follows: Marilyn Boone-Sophomore Sandy Shrout-Sophomore Judy Penny-Junior Mary Penny-Junior Connie Izard-Sophomore Beverly Shuler-Junior All of 'the candidates spent many long hours practicing and rehearsing with this year's varsity cheerlead- MAY 9. 1957 2 Two Westporters Win In Essay Contest In the Veterans of Foreign Wars fWomen's Auxiliaryj essay contest, Ronald Philgreen, senior, won sec- ond place and twenty-five dollars, and Sharon Frerking, junior, won third place and fifteen dollars. Both essays are now entered in the state contest. The 'title this year was .Americals Crusade for Free men's Rights. There were 125 entries from 42 schools in the local territory. Pre- sentations were made April 22 at V.F.W. headquaters. These students are, or were, mem- bers of Miss Brubaker's classes in English. ers. The newly-elected cheerlead- ers will continue to practice for the remainder of the school year and possibly into 'the summer months. Also at this assembly letters were awarded to the varsity basketball team and the varsity cheerleaders. iger Saga According to the Department of Commerce, the people of the United States spend 'ten billion dollars a year on alcoholic beverage. A truly staggering sum. Now that Brooklyn has hired Emmet Kelly, we hear that Cleve- land has made a bid for Sitting Bull. Just the other night, Alvin had a date with a hula dancer but she wiggled oult of it. Following the Detroit trend, Ali reports that he has a new 5 by 20 foot flying carpet. Did you ever stop to think what a boon a deep freeze would do to cannibals? Now that spring is here Melvin has been taking his girl to Loose Park to roast marshmallows. Even a successful man can lose his shirt these days, especially if he has a teenage daughter. Did you hear about the farm boy who wanted to travel incognito so he signed his HX with a circle around it. The bad thing about being a senior reports a frienl is that he'll be a poor freshman this fall. The difference between modern and old fashioned educantional methods is simply a matter of which end of the child you pat. The only trouble with having reg- ular habits and being industrious is that most people think you're up to something. RECORD IN 100 CContinued from P-age 81 Westport's second place showing came in the mile team race where it placed behind meet-winning Shawnee-Mission.

Herb was running with a neck injury which was suffered in track practice the afternoon before the meet. -3 SUB-FRESHMEN NEWS Mr. Fred Miller and the parents who sponsor Tiger Den are spon- soring a dance for the subfreshmen on May 11.

THE WESTPORT CRIB! iger wodome This issue's Tiger ftwosome con- sists of -two of Westport's most pop- ular seniors. Westport's coming through! This is one of the favorite cheers oaf Westport's smallest cheerleader, Mer- ry Krause. Merry, who is 4' 11 tall and weighs 95 lbs., says she doesn't 'have enough hair to bother men- tioning the color. Besides being varsity cheerleader, Merry has held the offices of jun- ior critic and parliamentarian in Pundit Literary Society. She is a member of Pep Club, holding th-e office of secretary, and has been secretary for Stage and Screen. She has been in the health center for two years, and was voted Most Typical on the Senior ballot. Herb Sneddon and Merry Krause .She ldves cheerleading, and likes td think up mischief to get into at slumber parties. Helping Bob think up reasons to come over to her house is her main pastime, how- ever. After graduation, even though she would like to stay a few more y-ears, she plans to go to the Col- MAY 9. 1957 lege of St. Teresa for two years and then two years at St. Joseph Hospital to get her degree in nurs- ing. Here he comes down that track! We're speaking of no one but Herb Snedden, the second half 'off this is- sue's twosome. Herb's main interest is sports, all of them. He has spent three years on varsity football and received Honorable Mention as an All-City halfback. He has been a member of the first team track for three years. Herb has been president of W Club, and is a member in good standing of Wilson Lit-erary Soci- e-ty. Westport made a fine choice when they voted him -the Nicest Boy on the senior ballot. Herb likes all food in general, but especially .likes mashed pota- toes and gravy with fried chicken when they are fixed by a good cook . After graduation Herb will at- tend either Missouri University or William Jewell and become a coach. Westport will 'be sorry to lose these two iiine seniors.

Everyone knew the Tiger senior was faster than a bolt of lightning, he has proven it many times in both football and basketball and now the track world has felt the impact of his talents. Wayde zipped the 100- yard dash in just 9.7 seconds, a meet record and a highly respect- able time in any competition, college or high school. ffvnrinued on Page 37 IN EAST RELAYS The Westport Tigers, placing men in four events, amassed a total of 15W points as they finished eighth in ia field of 1'3 at the first annual East relays. Again it was Wayde Fredrickson who turned in the outstanding per- formance for the Tigers. Wayde's time of 10.0 seconds in the 100-yard dash was tops for the night al- though it was three-tenths of a second slower than his perform- ance at the Shawnee-Mission re- lays. Wayde's effort was still good for a meet record, however, as all winning times and distances in this first annual affair become records. Other points came by courtesy of the 880-yard relay team, the mile relay team and Herb Snedden. The Tigers tied for fifth in the 880 yard relays with Riaytown and the Mile relay team came in fourth.

The Vikingis claimed the top spot by virtue of 59 points while the .Lincoln version of the Tigers scored 1216. Northeast won seven firsts, West- port won five, and Lincoln one. Northeast's big bulge in points came because of its superior depth. West- port was shut out in only two events. Wayde Fredrickson turned in a sparkling performance, winning the 100-yard dash in 10.0 seconds and winning the broad jump with a leap of 19-7. Wayde also ran on the team that won the 440-yard relay and placed second in the 880- yard relay.
